The ‘lost’ islands of Cardigan Bay, Wales, UK: insights into the post-glacial evolution of some Celtic coasts of northwest Europe
No full textA 13th –14th-century map held in the Bodleian Library (the Gough Map and the oldest map of Great Britain) shows two ‘lost’ islands in Cardigan Bay offshore west Wales, United Kingdom. This study investigates historical sources, alongside geological and bathymetric evidence, and proposes a model of post-glacial coastal evolution that provides an explanation for the ‘lost’ islands and a hypothetical framework for future research: (1) during the Pleistocene, Irish Sea ice occupied the area from the north and west, and Welsh ice from the east, (2) a landscape of unconsolidated Pleistocene deposits developed seaward of a relict pre-Quaternary cliffline with a land surface up to ca. 30 m above present sea-level, (3) erosion proceeded along the lines of a template provided by a retreating shoreline affected by Holocene sea-level rise, shore-normal rivers, and surface run-off from the relict cliffline and interfluves, (4) dissection established islands occupying cores of the depositional landscape, and (5) continued down-wearing, marginal erosion and marine inundation(s) removed the two remaining islands by the 16th century. Literary evidence and folklore traditions provide support in that Cardigan Bay is associated with the ‘lost’ lowland of Cantre’r Gwaelod. The model offers potential for further understanding post-glacial evolution of similar lowlands along northwest European coastlines
Mapping structure–function relationships within cerebellar circuits
No full textA key organizational feature of the cerebellum is its division into a series of cerebellar modules. The cortical component of each module is termed a zone. Each zone is defined by its climbing input originating from a well-defined region of the inferior olive, which targets one or more longitudinal zones of Purkinje cells within the cerebellar cortex. In turn, Purkinje cells within each zone project to specific regions of the cerebellar and vestibular nuclei. The behavioral significance of zones remains poorly understood.
This chapter will describe approaches to physiologically and anatomically identify cerebellar cortical zones in both acute and chronic preparat ions (rat and cat) as well as methods to record from zones during behavior in order to determine the role that they have in cerebellar function
Türk medeni kanunu kapsaminda taşinirlarda zilyetliğin korunmasi = Protection of possession of chattels in the Turkish civil code
No full textPossession, which is defined as the effective control over a thing, protects the actual situation regardless of whether it is based on a right or not. Possession prevents a person from acting against the law and by force even to get his/her right in order not to undermine the social peace and trust in the society. In light of the debates in doctrine and jurisprudence this study aims to examine the provisions regarding the protection of possession appeared in the articles of 981 and 984 of the Turkish Civil Code. The study first examines the possessor’s right to use force in self-defence, the legal scope of this right, what types of possessors have this right and against whom this right can be exercised. This study then moves on to scrutinise the situation where the possessor does not or cannot exert his/her right to use force in self-defence, in this respect it analyses the processor’s right to bring an action to reclaim the object from the claimant as well as to seek the cessation of trespass and prohibition of further trespass, the purpose and nature of these claims, the parties to the action, and finally, the action for damages that can be brought in case the violation of the possession causes a loss to the possessor
Before supporting athletes, evaluate your coach–athlete relationship: exploring the link between coach leadership and coach–athlete relationship
Get PDFThe overall quality of coach–athlete relationship has been shown to positively associate with coach leadership effectiveness on athletes’ outcomes. Nonetheless, others also showed no associations when each subdimension of coach–athlete relationship was separately examined. This study used canonical correlation analysis (CCA) to examine the complete set of correlations between coach transformational leadership (six dimensions) and quality coach–athlete relationship (six dimensions). A total of 213 athletes (122 male; 91 female) from various performance levels and sports completed a multi-section questionnaire. CCA revealed positive, negative and no correlations between the coach transformational leadership and coach–athlete relationship variable sets. For example, the Direct Commitment dimension of the coach–athlete relationship was negatively related to the Individualised Support dimension and positively associated with the High-Performance Expectation dimension of coach transformational leadership. In light of these results, we discuss whether viewing the coach–athlete relationship as an inherent dimension embedded within the conceptualisation of coach leadership is suitable and accurate

Postdigital dupery and its epistemic vices
No full textIn early 2020, Alison MacKenzie and Ibrar Bhatt guest edited the Special Issue of Postdigital Science and Education, ‘Lies, Bullshit and Fake News Online: Should We Be Worried?’ (MacKenzie and Bhatt 2020), and in early 2021, Alison MacKenzie, Jennifer Rose, and Ibrar Bhatt published their edited book, The Epistemology of Deceit in a Postdigital Era: Dupery by Design (MacKenzie et al. 2021b), in Postdigital Science and Education book series. To continue this important work, Sarah Hayes emailed Alison, Jennifer, and Ibrar to arrange this conversation. Alison and Ibrar met with Sarah online in May 2021 and talked for two hours, with Jennifer providing her insights via email, to be blended into the dialogue
Postdigital critical pedagogy
No full textSince the 1960s critical pedagogy has been at the forefront of the intersections between education and social change. However, critical pedagogies and approaches have struggled to keep up with the pace of the twenty-first-century techno-social transformations. This chapter argues that the critical pedagogy movement is ripe for reinvention. The first part of the paper introduces the main ideas behind the concept of the postdigital. The second part of the chapter introduces the biodigital challenge of critical pedagogy. The third part of the chapter focuses on philosophy and applications of recent techno-scientific convergences and explores ways in which these convergences play out in various crises. The conclusion brings these challenges together and outlines a postdigital reconfiguration of critical pedagogy fit for our historical moment
