Black Fugitivity in the Sporting Workplace: The Story of Eniola Aluko
ABSTRACT Being a Black fugitive involves constant movement: to find and cultivate spaces of safety and hope. In this paper, I curate a sporting archive about the UK Black women's elite football player Eniola Aluko to read her as a Black fugitive. I demonstrate how she traversed a racist and anti‐Black sporting workplace—where she was unfairly demonized

Listening to tuna: Acoustic characterization of captive juvenile yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares)
Abstract The effectiveness of passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) for studying marine biodiversity highly relies on comprehensive libraries of species‐specific sounds. While sound production is well‐documented in reef and freshwater fishes, the acoustic behaviour of ecologically and economically vital pelagic species like tunas still remains largely ...

Relay changeovers in short track speed skating take place when the incoming skater pushes the outgoing skater at the start of the straight. Time can be gained or lost during these changeovers, depending on how effectively they are executed.
