The Role of Instagram in the Performativity of Post-digital Authorship in the Comic, Zine, and Art Publishing Community
Full text linkInsights have been developed into social media influencers and marketing strategies which aid book discovery and sales. However, less is known about the distinctions in the use of social media platforms in the comic, zine, and art publishing sectors. Focusing on the author’s use of Instagram in her artist-publisher-researcher practice, this article analyses the role of the platform and conceptualizes its use in the performativity of post-digital authorship. The article introduces the concept of post-digital authorship, in which a process-based performance of content aims to build identity, participation, and recognition connected to live and virtual events and digital and print formats of micropublishing. The contribution of this paper is the relative un-performance of the author on Instagram, amidst the micropublishing strategies in the community of comic, zine, and art publishing, in comparison with authors in other sectors of the publishing industry
Editorial: Sports, economics, and natural experiments: advances and retrospection
Full text linkSports provide a unique field laboratory for advancing behavioral microeconomics, offering precise and objective measurements of behavior due to standardized rules, clear observability, and highly motivated expert participants. Extensive data on sports are readily available, continuously refined and expanded, and cover the same or similar contestants over long periods. Additionally, sports offer numerous natural experiments where exogenous factors plausibly divide individuals, teams, or organizations into treatment and control groups, allowing for causal analysis. Despite these advantages, economic studies using sports often face challenges regarding external validity. Such studies can appear niche and may be difficult to understand for those unfamiliar with sports, potentially limiting the broader applicability of their findings and hindering the full use of sports as a platform for testing economic theories. The aim of this Research Topic was to showcase examples of research that harness sports as a field laboratory, leverage natural experiments, and replicate or validate existing findings. This collection features two studies exploiting natural experiments, three capitalizing on the advantages of sports data for measuring productivity, and one replication study. Below is a brief overview of these studies.RECEIVED December ACCEPTED December PUBLISHED January CITATION; TYPE Editorial PUBLISHED January Flepp R, Gauriot R and Singleton C () Editorial: Sports, economics, and natural experiments: advances and retrospection.

What time is the tide? The importance of tides for ocean colour applications to estuaries
Full text linkTides can play a major role in transitional water dynamics, being the primary driver of fluctuations in water parameters. In the last decade, remote sensing methods have become a popular tool for cost-effective systematic observations, at relatively high spatial and temporal scales. However, the presence of tides introduces complexities, given that Sun-synchronous satellites will observe a different tidal condition at each overpass, effectively aliasing the daily signal. This can create non-obvious biases when using remote sensing data for monitoring tidally-dominated systems, potentially leading to misinterpretation of patterns and incorrect estimates of periodicities. In this work, we used a six-year Sentinel-2-derived turbidity dataset to evaluate the impact of tidal aliasing on the applicability of a Sun-synchronous satellite to a tidally-dominated system (Tagus estuary, Portugal). Each satellite observation was classified according to tidal phase. Results indicate that tidal processes dominated over seasonal variability, with significant differences observed between turbidity levels of different tidal phases (p < 0.0001). Climatology analyses also revealed significant changes between all-data and per-tidal-phase data (p < 0.001), highlighting the importance of classifying satellite data by tidal condition. Additionally, tidal condition labelling at each Sentinel-2 overpass revealed that not all tidal conditions are observed by a Sun-synchronous satellite, as Low tide and Floods are always observed during Spring tides and High tide and Ebbs observed under Neap tides. Spring Low tides are overrepresented compared to all other tidal conditions. This result is particularly relevant for water quality monitoring based on remote sensing data in tidally-dominated systems
Fixity and the Future: A Forward-Looking Account
No full textIt is standard to distinguish between events that are metaphysically fixed for a given agent at a given time, and events that are not fixed (or open). Fixed events constrain actions and omissions: the agent cannot perform any action that is incompatible with fixed events, and cannot refrain from performing any actions that are entailed by fixed events. While traditionally the distinction is explained in temporal terms - past events are fixed and future events open - recent work convincingly argues that it should be understood in causal terms instead, with striking consequences for time travellers and their freedom. We propose a new causal account of fixity - a 'forwards-looking account' - and argue that it has several predictive and explanatory advantages over its backwards-looking rivals. We conclude that if you adopt a causal account of fixity, you should be forward-looking

Qualitative insights into planning implementation of FeNO-guided asthma management in primary care
Full text linkFractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) testing is used in primary care in some areas of the UK to aid asthma diagnosis but is used less frequently for managing asthma. A randomised controlled trial (RCT) is investigating whether an intervention, including FeNO testing and a clinical algorithm, improves outcomes for patients with asthma. This study was conducted to explore potential for implementation of the intervention. The study aim was to explore views of those with a vested interest in implementing the FeNO intervention into primary care asthma reviews. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted online with individuals, including those with experience in policymaking, healthcare management, National Health Service commissioning, as healthcare professionals (HCPs) with extended roles, and patients and advocates. Inductive thematic analysis was conducted for nineteen interviews. Findings suggest complex interplay of barriers, contextual issues and facilitators. Overall, participants perceived FeNO-informed asthma management would enhance care, if used appropriately and flexibly according to context, for example planning implementation alongside remote reviews. Easier, equitable access to funded FeNO equipment would be needed for national implementation. Participants suggested motivation of all involved in future implementation may be increased by guidelines recommending FeNO, and by use of financial incentives and champions sharing best practice examples. In conclusion, financial obstacles were reiterated as a primary barrier to FeNO use. Despite barriers, facilitating implementation by harnessing prominent cost-benefits could persuade decision makers and clinicians. Findings lay early foundations for development of an implementation strategy
Drinking and pleasure: Interdisciplinarity points the way forward
Full text linkFirst paragraph: We thank our commentators for their thoughtful reflections on how alcohol research can better engage with pleasure. In writing the original article [1], we admit to some trepidation about how it would be received. We are encouraged by the positive and constructive responses, which identify a range of opportunities for innovative future research
Making and Unmaking the Cold War in Museums
Full text linkTo introduce “Cold War Museology” and a volume of new essays in this chapter, we develop what we propose to be core themes of the subject. Our aim is to establish the Cold War as a key topic in museum studies, both in its own right, but also in terms of how it speaks to more general themes of contemporary museology. In doing so, we seek to learn from Cold War critical heritage research, bringing some of its analytical rigour to bear on museum work. Focusing primarily on curatorial practices and display analysis, we highlight three key themes for further discussion: the way in which objects reflect broader networks; the relationship between spaces, places and things (and specifically the ways in which objects create meanings when they are removed from their original locations); and the values that attach to collections. We also highlight absences in our discussions, including the question of how to address the global nature of the Cold War in the context of debates about decolonising collections as well as questions of gender and race when they appear to be absent from collections relating to the Cold War. This volume calls for a museology that reflects the ways in which the Cold War was both made and unmade, the spaces and places where this happens and what this means for museum collections, interpretation and engagement.Quality EducationIndustry, Innovation and InfrastructureSustainable Cities and Communitie
End user and forecaster interpretations of the European Avalanche Danger Scale: A study of avalanche probability judgments in Scotland
Full text linkWe investigate Scottish end users' and professional forecasters' risk perception in relation to the 5-point European Avalanche Danger Scale by eliciting numerical estimates of the probability of triggering an avalanche. Our main findings are that neither end users nor professional forecasters interpret the avalanche danger scale as intended, that is, in an exponential fashion. Second, we find that numerical interpretations by end users and professional forecasters have high variance, but are similar, in that both groups tend to overestimate the probability of triggering an avalanche and underestimate the relative risk increase. Finally, we find significant differences in the perceived probability of triggering an avalanche relative to a low or moderate avalanche danger level, and in the numerical interpretation of verbal probability terms depending on whether respondents provide their estimates using a frequency or a percentage chance format. We summarize our findings by identifying important lessons to improve avalanche risk understanding and its communication
Multimodal machine learning to predict surgical site infection with healthcare workload impact assessment
Full text linkRemote monitoring is essential for healthcare digital transformation, however, this poses greater burdens on healthcare providers to review and respond as the data collected expands. This study developed a multimodal neural network to automate assessments of patient-generated data from remote postoperative wound monitoring. Two interventional studies including adult gastrointestinal surgery patients collected wound images and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for 30-days postoperatively. Neural networks for PROMs and images were combined to predict surgical site infection (SSI) diagnosis within 48 hours. The multimodal neural network model to predict confirmed SSI within 48h remained comparable to clinician triage (0.762 [0.690-0.835] vs 0.777 [0.721-0.832]), with an excellent performance on external validation. Simulated usage indicated an 80% reduction in staff time (51.5 to 9.1 hours) without compromising diagnostic accuracy. This multimodal approach can effectively support remote monitoring, alleviating provider burden while ensuring high-quality postoperative care.Additional authors: Ewen M Harrison & TWIST Collaborators [K.
