ers, without committing ourselves one way or the other as to their effect on biological fitness. Nevertheless, the idea that some innovations will be less attractive to imitate and others more so, while some make only a marginal difference to existing options, seems a reasonable one. The specific aim of this article is to explore the consequences of innovations in small populations of the kind ...

That matter is secondary to shape constitutes the fallacy of design after craft. By nature, and in its rite, the material practice of craft is informed by matter, its method of fabrication, and by the environment (Semper, 1851). As in Nature, when creation begins with matter, morphogenesis, or the generation of form, is a process engendered by the physical forces of Nature (Thompson, 1942; Thom...

Abstract Community reinforcement and family training (CRAFT) was developed to help support concerned significant others (CSO) of people with, for example, alcohol use disorder. The aim this study investigate therapists' experiences working with CRAFT their the CSOs receiving CRAFT. has a qualitative design is based on three focus group interviews 17 therapists. Interviews were analysed using th...

writing is a skill many feel they lack, the question ‘How’s your writing?’ gets at one of the dark hearts of imposter syndrome among medical education researchers. And, let’s be frank, a lot of our scientific writing is terrible: dry, chalky, convoluted stuff that even an engaged reader struggles to choke down. We find ourselves in a troubling situation: one of our valued practices—writing—is h...

".... it frequently requires complex thinking. In fixing motorcycles you come up with several imagined trains of cause and effect for manifest symptoms, and you judge their likelihood before tearing anything down. This imagining relies on a mental library that you develop. An internal combustion engine can work in any number of ways, and different manufacturers have tried different approaches. ...

The shocks and impacts encountered on small high-speed craft exceed the limits set for safe working practice according to current standards. European legislation regarding the exposure to vibration will have far reaching effects on the operators of such craft with respect to the safety of their employees. This paper sets out to highlight the vibration dose values that can be expected during typ...

Southern African countries have a good cultural tourism development potential, and many countries in the region have identifi ed the development of cultural tourism as one of the key growth areas in tourism. A specifi c element of cultural tourism is based on crafts that are sold for visitors in various sites and market places. Crafts and craft markets are relatively visible in the Southern Afr...

Traditionally, programming languages have been designed with an eye toward implementation on general-purpose computers. The advent of computationally-enhanced craft items–small programmable objects with simple geometries and scaled-down computational components–suggests the need for new language and software environment models tailored for these objects. In some respects, the task of the craft-...
