Glasgow Glam Rock Dialogues paper/gig/film screening of Drifting with Debord (dir. David Archibald 2018) at 29th International Screen Studies Conference 2019 (organised by Screen Journal) at University of Glasgow
No full textIn ‘Drifting with Debord’, Glasgow Glam Rock Dialogues channel the spirits of David Bowie, Suzi Quatro and Karl Marx to debate the life and legacy of Guy Debord, theoretical leader of the Paris-based Situationist International and author of ‘The Society of the Spectacle’ and ‘Theory of the Dérive’. Transposing Debord’s ideas on the dérive from street to screen, this 17-minute film explores what a drifting cinema might look and sound like as it drifts from Paris to Glasgow, from present to past, and both with and away from Debord himself.
For Screen Journal's 29th International Screen Studies Conference 2019, The Glasgow Glam Rock Dialogues/The Tenementals performed a suite of original songs to follow a dialectical debate enacting Debord's theories, and screened the film.
Jessica Argo and Ronan Breslin lead the location recording and sound design for the film.
The film also screened at 15th Cyprus International Film Festival, Glasgow Short Film Festival, XIX International Kask Festival, Russia, SorsitCorti International Festival, Palermo Italy, Univesity of Skovde, Sweden, Tolpuddle Radical Film Festival, UK, Calcutta International Short Film Festival, Festival Internacional del Cine Austral, Cordoba Argentina, Bridges International Film Festival, Corinth, Greece.

Second skin: textiles grown to fit
No full textFashion’s newest material of choice isn’t one we have seen much of before, at least not on the catwalk. From Donna Franklin’s red silk and fungi dress designed and grown during a residency at Symbiotica in Perth, Western Australia to the bone cell wedding rings grown to measure by the biojewellery project in London, couture may finally be witnessing its twilight. It will be replaced by no less discerning a costumer, just one that happens to think that clothes and accessories grown to size are a sensible thing. Tobie Kerridge and Nikki Stott, design researchers at the Royal College of Art, and Ian Thompson, a bioengineer at Kings College London explain that biojewellery’s “aim is to bring the medical and technical processes of bioengineering out of the lab and into the public arena.” In the process, volunteers harvest their own bone cells to “grow” wedding bands for each other, giving a whole new meaning to material union. On the other side of the globe, Tissue Culture and Art’s “Victimless Leather” project suggests that the future of the garment could lie in one grown to measure from cells, rather than woven and stitched from cloth. And Suzanne Lee, author of Fashioning the Future is currently collaborating with the material scientist David Hepworth, on a research project to investigate grown materials as alternative textiles. Why? Asking our clothing to change, rather than fashion’s ongoing demand that we change our clothing is, Lee asserts, “a logical conclusion to fashion’s pace.” Curiously, while single step production for garments may be our future, a garment without seams, stitches or cloth would herald the end of crafts such as weaving and tailoring. Eventually, such developments could be responsible for the extinction of a species already on the endangered list: the craftsperson

How can we learn whether firm policies are working in africa ? challenges (and solutions?) for experiments and structural models
Get PDFFirm productivity is low in African countries, prompting governments to try a number of active policies to improve it. Yet despite the millions of dollars spent on these policies, we are far from a situation where we know whether many of them are yielding the desired payoffs. This paper establishes some basic facts about the number and heterogeneity of firms in different sub-Saharan African countries and discusses their implications for experimental and structural approaches towards trying to estimate firm policy impacts. It shows that the typical firm program such as a matching grant scheme or business training program involves only 100 to 300 firms, which are often very heterogeneous in terms of employment and sales levels. As a result, standard experimental designs will lack any power to detect reasonable sized treatment impacts, while structural models which assume common production technologies and few missing markets will be ill-suited to capture the key constraints firms face. Nevertheless, the author suggests a way forward which involves focusing on a more homogeneous sub-sample of firms and collecting a lot more data on them than is typically collected.Microfinance,Small Scale Enterprise,E-Business,ICT Policy and Strategies,Banks&Banking Reform
The urban environment : agendas and problems
No full textThe United Nations estimate that by 2025 there will be around 5 billion people living in urban areas, more than the total world population 20 years ago. Currently, the developed nations are the most urbanised with, on average around three-quarters of their population living in cities, but this is changing. Increased levels of economic growth, of migration, of population expansion and, in some cases, of unprecedented industrial growth, mean that Asia and Africa will be the regions most radically affected by urban development over the next twenty years. Increasing debate on issues of urban sustainability has led to the consolidation of environmental agendas and the definition of a specific body of problems and policy issues on two levels. The first involves green agenda problems occupying the concerns of many in the developed nations such as global warming, ozone-layer depletion, loss of bio-diversity, deforestation, and the exhaustion of non-renewable resources. For the developing world, however, these global environmental problems are less immediate than the need to resolve acute problems relating to poverty and the so-called brown agenda problems of air and water pollution, inadequate waste management, the lack of basic services and green areas, declining infrastructure, and poor housing conditions, as well as issues of health, crime, violence, and social exclusion. It is now a commonly held belief that the green agenda cannot be addressed until the urgent problems of urban social deprivation and inequalities are resolved. This paper reviews the scale and character of contemporary urbanisation and the rapid growth of cities, particularly within the developing nations, and examines associated implications with respect to the physical arrangement of cities, their resource consumption and their environmental impact
Assessing Adaptation Strategies for Extreme Heat: A Public Health Evaluation of Cooling Centers in Maricopa County, Arizona
No full textabstract: Preventing heat-associated morbidity and mortality is a public health priority in Maricopa County, Arizona (United States). The objective of this project was to evaluate Maricopa County cooling centers and gain insight into their capacity to provide relief for the public during extreme heat events. During the summer of 2014, 53 cooling centers were evaluated to assess facility and visitor characteristics. Maricopa County staff collected data by directly observing daily operations and by surveying managers and visitors. The cooling centers in Maricopa County were often housed within community, senior, or religious centers, which offered various services for at least 1500 individuals daily. Many visitors were unemployed and/or homeless. Many learned about a cooling center by word of mouth or by having seen the cooling center’s location. The cooling centers provide a valuable service and reach some of the region’s most vulnerable populations. This project is among the first to systematically evaluate cooling centers from a public health perspective and provides helpful insight to community leaders who are implementing or improving their own network of cooling centers.Corresponding Author:
