No full textDr. Thad Williamson, Assistant Professor, Jepson School of Leadership Studies, discusses his new book, Sprawl, Justice, and Citizenship: The Civic Costs of the American Way of Life. Published in May, 2010, by Oxford University Press, the book combines the use of both political theory and empirical investigation to assess the benefits and costs of sprawling development patterns in the United States. The dissertation on which the book is based was the co-winner of the American Political Science Association’s 2005 Harold D. Lasswell Award for best doctoral thesis in the field of public policy

Riverside Festival, Glasgow: An interview with Dave Clarke and Mark McKechnie
No full textDave Clarke and Mark McKechnie are directors of the Riverside Festival in Glasgow, an annual electronic music event that has taken some of their previous ventures in running club nights to a bigger and financially riskier level. In this interview, they discuss the context for the festival – both in terms of geography and genre – as well as the triumphs and challenges (not least the pandemic and Brexit) that they have faced in the festival’s first decade
Mapping analyses to estimate health utilities based on responses to the OM8-30 otitis media questionnaire
No full textPurpose
To investigate the statistical relationship between the OM8-30 health-related quality of life measure for children with otitis media with effusion (OME) and measures of health utility (Health Utilities Index [HUI] Mark 3 and Mark 2) and to develop models to estimate HUI3 and HUI2 health utilities from OM8-30 scores.
Methods
A placebo-controlled, randomised trial (GNOME) evaluating intranasal mometasone in 217 children with OME provided concurrent responses to OM8-30 and HUI at three time points. Ordinary least squares (OLS), generalised linear models and two-step regression analyses were used to predict HUI3 and HUI2 utilities based on OM8-30 facet and domain scores.
Results
OLS models including all nine OM8-30 facets with or without predicted hearing level (HL) produced the best predictions of HUI3 utilities (mean absolute error: 0.134 with HL and 0.132 without; R 2: 0.63 with HL and 0.596 without). An OLS model predicting HUI3 utilities based on the two OM8-30 domain scores, reported hearing difficulties, predicted HL, age and sex also produced accurate predictions.
Conclusion
Regression equations predicting HUI3 and HUI2 utilities based on OM8-30 facet and domain scores have been developed. These provide an empirical basis for estimating quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) for interventions in children with OME

Negotiating Transaction Cost Economics: Oliver Williamson and his audiences
No full textThe article studies the interaction between Oliver Williamson and his audiences in the construction of Transaction Cost Economics (TCE). His attentiveness to the feedback from different groups has played a major role in the success of TCE. First we discuss briefly the relevance of rhetoric to the study of economics. Rhetoric stresses that economists talk not to a void, but to peers and lay people with their habits, interests, institutional conditionings and values. Using the toolbox of rhetoric we identify Williamson’s intended audiences. Next we discuss his lists of claimed antecedents and the changes made therein. We explore how those (changing) connections could possibly have incited different audiences. In what follows, we use citation data to delineate his actual readers. This helps compare intended and actual audiences as we close with a discussion of Williamson’s ability to modify his intended reader and widen the audience of TCE in the social sciences.
