The collected poems and drawings of Stevie Smith
No full textWhen Stevie Smith died in 1971 she was one of the twentieth-century's most popular poets; many of her poems have been widely anthologised, and 'Not Waving but Drowning' remains one of the nation's favourite poems to this day.Satirical, mischievous, teasing, disarming, her characteristically lightning-fast changes in tone take readers from comedy to tragedy and back again, while her line drawings are by turns unsettling and beguiling. In this wholly new edition of her work, Will May collects together the illustrations and poems from her original published volumes for the first time, recording fascinating details about their provenance, and describing the various versions Smith presented both on stage and page. Including over 500 works from Smith's 35-year career, The Collected Poems and Drawings of Stevie Smith is the essential edition of modern poetry's most distinctive voice

A mathematical framework for time-variant multi-state kinship modelling
No full textRecent research on kinship modelling in demography has extended age-structured models (i) to include additional characteristics, or “stages” (multi-state kinship), and (ii) to time-variant situations. A wide variety of population structures can affect kinship networks. However, only one prior model has comprehensively considered such effects, and under specific assumptions relating to the nature of individuals’ stages. As such, the leading multi-state framework for kin is theoretically limited in scope, and moreover, has yet to be implemented under time-variant demographic rates. Generalising kinship models to encompass arbitrary population characteristics and extending them to time-dependent processes remain open challenges in demography. This research proposes a methodology to extend multi-state kinship. We present a model which theoretically accounts for any stage, both in time-variant and time-invariant environments. Drawing from Markov processes, a concise mathematical alternative to existing theory is developed. The benefits of our model are illustrated by an application where we define stages as spatial locations, exemplified by clusters of local authority districts (LADs) in England and Wales. Our results elucidate how spatial distribution – a demographic characteristic ubiquitous across (and between) societies – can affect an individual's network of relatives.</p

The Concept of an Agricultural Surplus, from Petty to Smith
No full textEveryone has to eat, so those who produce food must produce enough to feed themselves and to feed all those who do not produce their own food. Once stated. this is trivially obvious but, I will argue, making that simple relation between agriculture and the rest of the economy explicit and, at least in principle, quantifiable played a significant role in the development of economic thinking in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This paper will focus on a very specific way of posing the question. Many of the most important economic writers of the period (Petty, Cantillon, Hutcheson, Hume, Steuart, Mirabeau, Smith and others) used arguments of the form: x men can feed y, where y > x. A series of questions naturally follow. Will the surplus be produced at all? How is it transferred to those who consume it? What are the 'superfluous hands' (in Hume’s terms) to do? It is impossible to pose these questions without thinking about the economy as a whole, and the way different sectors hang together. The common thread that runs through eighteenth-century discussions of surplus is a concern with the relation between industry and agriculture, and the potential for development arising from their interplay. There is, however, a clear discontinuity between the eighteenth-century view of agricultural surplus discussed here and the later tradition which links a concept of surplus to income distribution and pricing. Writers before Smith did not generally conceptualize income distribution in terms of the division of a defined total income between different functional shares, nor was there any consistent tradition linking income shares to the concept of an agricultural surplus as discussed here.surplus, agriculture, William Petty, Richard Cantillon, David Hume, Adam Smith
MyCalendar: Fostering communication for children with\ud Autism Spectrum Disorder through photos and videos
No full textThis paper presents MyCalendar; a visual calendar prototype App that was developed to support children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and language delays to communicate about their own activities and interests across the settings of home and school. MyCalendar was developed following in-depth fieldwork and participatory design sessions with parents, teachers and children from Preparatory year to year 2 of an Australian Primary School Special Education Unit catering largely for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Typically, children with ASD face difficulties in participating at school. MyCalendar was then evaluated over six months with four teachers, ten parents and eleven children. The study resulted in two key findings: \ud
\ud
- <i>(1) MyCalendar supported children who have ASD and limited verbal skills to better communicate their daily personal activities through photos and videos, encouraged by teachers and parents.</i> \ud
\ud
- <i>(2) This deeper understanding of the children's daily lives enabled teachers to successfully model positive behaviours and to scaffold more relevant and meaningful learning opportunities by relating them to the children's lives. </i>\ud
\ud
While it was initially expected that the activities would better support communication between teachers and parents, the MyCalendar led in fact to novel scaffolding of learning opportunities and modeling of communication in the classroom
