Exploring small area demand for grocery retailers in tourist areas
No full textNewing, A., Clarke, G.P. and Clarke, M. 2014. Exploring small area demand for grocery retailers in tourist areas. Tourism Economics, 20(2), pp.407-427This paper uses data from a major loyalty card scheme to draw insights about the characteristics of grocery expenditure by tourists. The authors explore the volume, value and composition of store based visitor expenditure using consumer data from the loyalty card scheme. They focus on grocery spending at selected stores in Cornwall, a popular tourist destination in South West England. Theloyalty card data provide a valuable source rarely available for academic investigations. The authors are able to analyse visitor spend by socio-economic and geodemographic characteristics, drawing a range of comparisons with residential demand from within the store catchment areas. They demonstrate that visitor grocery expenditure is complex and varies by store, destination and type of customer. The paper presents evidence to suggest that the current approaches used to estimate sales uplift and local-level economic impact from visitor demand are unable to account for the complexities of this form of expenditure. Based on these insights, the authors recommend that sophisticated modelling is employed to estimate the impact of visitor expenditure

Defining Altruism
No full textThis Excel spreadsheet contains the raw data used for a structured review of the precise definitions of altruism in full-length books in English with the word ‘altruism’, ‘altruist’, or ‘altruistic’ in the title or subtitle, available from WorldCat as of June 2, 2024, that were written by an author with a terminal academic degree who held an academic position. Excluded were books about biological altruism, self-published books, biographies, books in which psychological altruism was not a primary subject (such as books about organ donation or neurobiology), and book-length compilations of works by many authors with different viewpoints (such as edited books, encyclopaedias, compendiums, and symposium and conference proceedings or transactions). Theses that were published were included, on the premise that the successful doctoral student was supervised by a qualified academic supervisor in an academic setting. The dataset lists 30 definitions, their sources, the authors' academic disciplines. and classifications in eight concept areas
Self-ordering creativity and an independent work space: Edna Clarke Hall’s poem pictures in the early 1920s
No full textThis thesis argues that the Poem Pictures made by Edna Clarke Hall (1879-1979) in the early 1920s signify new approaches to the treatment of ‘neuroses’ in British psychiatry following World War One, and contends that the artist’s biography is pertinent to understanding the production and meaning of these works. These hypotheses are demonstrated by considering Dr Henry Head’s responses to Clarke Hall when she sought his aid in 1920, following a period of emotional imbalance and physical illness. The thesis proposes that the philosophies underlying Head’s advice can be traced, via his acquaintance with psychiatrist Dr W.H.R. Rivers, to the unique psychotherapies practiced at Edinburgh’s Craiglockhart War Hospital from c.1916-17. Analysing archival holdings, it suggests that the Poem Pictures are Clark Hall’s creative manifestation of Head’s use of autognosis, by which a patient repeatedly verbalizes their subjective position. In relation to Craiglockhart’s ‘ergotherapy’, particular significance is placed on Head’s advice that Clarke Hall purchase a studio, and it is proposed that this space was imperative to the artist’s recovery and burgeoning career in the 1920s. In turn, this thesis situates the Poem Pictures and their author within the context of middle-class women’s participation in the arts in the inter-war decade

No full textOdontocroton apicalis (Klug, 1825), n. comb. (Fig. 15–18) Stenopterus apicalis Klug 1825: 472. Odontocera apicalis White 1855: 188; Monné 2017: 440 (cat.). Species concept. Based on Klug (1825) original description and figure, and photograph (Fig. 15-16) of the female holotype kindly sent to the author by Joachim Willers of the Humboldt Museum, which compares reasonably well, given the variation in color of this species, with the male specimen (Fig. 17-18) identified by J. Melzer, kindly lent to the author by the MZSP. Measurements (mm). 1 male: total length, 16.10; length of prothorax, 2.60; width of prothorax, 2.10; length of elytra, 9.75; width at humeri, 2.60. Specimen analyzed. BRAZIL, Minas Gerais, Passa Quatro, Faz. dos Campos, male, 28.I.1920, J.F. Zikán leg. (MZSP). Distribution. Klug stated that his specimen came from Brazil.
