Implementing Automation: The Shopfloor Politics of Technological Change in the Canadian Aerospace Sector

British Journal of Industrial Relations, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT What are the social processes of integrating new production technologies into existing work processes? How do management and trade union approaches shape the implementation and debugging of new technologies on the shopfloor? Drawing on the industrial relations literature on debugging and four cases of technological change at a major Canadian ...

An effective model for community‐based conservation around authorized fishing settlements inside a devolved Wildlife Management Area in southern Tanzania

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This study examines the relationship between community‐defined land use plans and de facto land use practices, and the influence of the latter on the relative abundance and distribution of large wild mammals across the Ifakara‐Lupiro‐Mangula (ILUMA) WMA, which acts as a key buffer zone between Nyerere National Park (NNP) to the east and adjacent ...

Chasing the perfida Albione: Anglo‐Italian productivity gap in the late 1930s

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents new estimates of Anglo‐Italian labour productivity levels in manufacturing in the late 1930s, derived using the standard single‐deflation approach. The findings confirm a substantial productivity gap between Italy and the United Kingdom at the aggregate level, alongside pronounced intersectoral heterogeneity.

The Effects of Nutrient Additions on Kokanee in Dworshak Reservoir, Idaho

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigated the effects of whole reservoir nitrogen (N) addition on kokanee growth in Dworshak Reservoir, Idaho. We hypothesized that N addition would improve the growth of kokanee (Oncorhynchus nerka) at a given level of abundance by increasing the availability of Daphnia, an important food source.
