The 2024 General Election and the Rise of Reform UK

open access: yesThe Political Quarterly, Volume 96, Issue 1, Page 91-101, January/March 2025.
Abstract This article examines the social base of support for Reform UK. Did Nigel Farage's new party depend on the same types of ‘left behind’ voters who had previously backed UKIP?

Government by WhatsApp? Transparency, Secrecy and Avoidance during Covid in the UK

open access: yesThe Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract It has been claimed repeatedly that transparency undermines decision‐making.

The use of informal communications—particularly the use of WhatsApp—makes all these tensions more likely,

A New Model of Feeding Biomechanics Based on Tied‐Arch Principles

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This new biomechanical model explains the major stress and strain patterns generated through the cranium during biting. The model proposes that the cranium resolves bite‐induced reaction forces through arcs of compressive stress that span the cranial structure between biting teeth and both jaw joints.

Discuss the Rationale for Minimally Invasive Endodontics and the Merits and Demerits of the Concept

open access: yesAustralian Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Minimally invasive endodontics (MIE) places emphasis on the conservation of sound tooth structure and viable pulp tissue during endodontic procedures such as root canal treatment (RCTx) and vital pulp therapy (VPT). The use of minimal access cavity designs and conservative canal preparation dimensions have been investigated as a way to improve

Abstract This article attempts to clarify the meaning of (de)politicization. Politicization sometimes refers to the inappropriate intrusion of partisan loyalties in nonpolitical social domains (affective politicization). Politicization can also constitute an ideal of civic agency and energy (contestatory politicization).

Organisational dehumanisation: Authoritativeness as remedy

open access: yesEuropean Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract According to orthodoxy, the human relations movement was a watershed in rehumanising scientifically managed workplaces. In the wake of such purported reform, pundits (theorists and practitioners alike) have typically taken for granted that 21st century approaches to workplace superintendence, birthed in the wake of the Hawthorne Studies and ...
