Abstract:
Introduction & BackgroundChronic pain is considered a priority in healthcare and a threat to well-being across the globe, it is thus crucial to accurately measure the national levels of pain conditions and their impacts on workplace productivity and well-being. Chronic pain has traditionally been studied in isolation with either self-reported survey data or standalone shopping records. The former are limited in scale and can be marred by response biases, while the latter lack ‘ground truths’: what research teams can measure are usually the purchase patterns of pain relief products, but neither the severity nor types of pain conditions. Objectives & ApproachData donation tools offer a novel approach to study chronic pain by linking the two aspects and establish statistical relationships between medicine consumptions and the multiple facets of pain experience. In a survey, we asked participants (N = 953) to share their loyalty card data with us, which is made possible with the data portability tool provided by Tesco (i.e., the largest supermarket chain in the United Kingdom) as part of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Based on questions adopted from popular inventories used in health research (e.g., EQ5D Health States, ONS4 Well-being, WEMWBS scales), we also asked participants to report the details of their pain conditions, hours of employment, and both general and mental health states. This allowed us to associate chronic pain - both subjective and objective (i.e., reflected by medicine consumption) - with its economic and personal consequences. Data collection was conducted via research panel providers, thus should approximate national representativeness. Relevance to Digital FootprintsThis work links digital footprints data donated by individuals to self-reported survey data, also develops an infrastructure for these data to be collected and safely stored. Conclusions & ImplicationsOne key value of this project is to pioneer a measure of chronic pain that can be applied to transactional records that are much bigger in scale in future analytic works. Our research team has access to an array of different digital footprints data, including longitudinal transactional data provided by a major pharmacy chain (~20 million customers and ~429 million baskets). In order to utilise these data to associate them with regional workplace productivity measures and well-being data released by the Office for National Statistics, a metric must be defined to extract the prevalence of chronic pain from shopping data, which is informed by the patterns found by the data donation project.Keywords:

The GLOBE Program (www.globe.gov) provides a myriad of resources that can be used to support environmental science exploration in classrooms. GLOBE offers a toolkit of measurements designed to support the study of Earth as a system. This toolkit features a variety of measurements that can be used to monitor marine environments. These measurements vary in complexity and equipment requirements. In addition to these measurements, GLOBE provides resources to support conducting environmental research projects. There are currently marine-related projects taking place that feature the use of GLOBE resources. GLOBE is looking at the possibility of packaging materials appropriate for marine environments. This paper describes the GLOBE Program and suggests possible ideas for expanding investigations to include marine environments.

Primary and secondary students in the GLOBE program, together with their teachers, work in partnership with scientists to take scientific measurements to bring about a better understanding of the Earth's environment. GLOBE students collect atmospheric, hydrologic, geologic, and biometric data from local study sites in order to monitor conditions in their community and make comparisons with other schools around the world. Students report their data via the Internet to the GLOBE network and to scientists around the world who incorporate GLOBE data in research projects. Since GLOBE's inception in 1995, more than one million students in over 14,000 schools around the world have taken part in the program. Currently, students and teachers from 105 countries are actively participating in GLOBE.

Abstract The 2012 Globe to Globe Festival proved a great success. Actors, directors, musicians, dancers, designers and technicians travelled from all over the world to perform on the Globe stage. Visitors to London’s Cultural Olympiad enjoyed six jam-packed weeks of Shakespeare, presented in an array of international languages. The Globe’s Artistic Director, Dominic Dromgoole, and his Festival Director, Tom Bird, had achieved what seemed, to many, the impossible. Nonetheless, filmed interviews with Dromgoole and Bird, conducted during the festival by the American documentary-maker Steve Rowland, offer tantalizing insights into the genesis of the festival venture. These candid interviews confirm the sometimes farcical, often exhausting, but invariably serendipitous truth behind the Globe to Globe Festival’s short, intense history. Although the Globe was “flying completely blind,” it still succeeded in hosting a glorious feast of Shakespearean delights, seasoned with the strong spice of multiculturality.

This study was aimed at determining whether participating in an environmental
education programme (GLOBE) was positively reflected in participants'
environmental awareness, concern and level of environmentally responsible
behaviour. An ecologically homogeneous sample consisting of 22 Grade 8 GLOBE
participants and 24 non-GLOBE participants was selected. Pearson correlation
coefficients and t-tests were employed to compare the research groups. GLOBE
programme participants had stronger concerns and took more positive actions
toward the environment than those who did not participate in the GLOBE
programme. However, those participating in the GLOBE programme were not
more exposed to environmental information than respondents not taking part in
the GLOBE programme. Analyses of the GLOBE participants' responses in terms of
gender and place of residence yielded no significant differences. It is recommended
that specific attention to initial motivations for participation / non-participation in
the GLOBE programme be considered in follow-up investigations.

As the preface makes clear, Shakespeare's Globe Revisited is designed as a tribute to the
rebuilding, in the 1990s, of the Globe theatre on London's Bankside. It is described by the editors,
Ronnie Mulryne and Margaret Shewring, as one of the most imaginative projects of recent
decades (11). In particular they acknowledge the vision of Sam Wanamaker and architect Theo
Crosby, who worked together to see their dream of a working Globe come to fruition, but sadly ..

In this symposium, GLOBE researchers will present the theoretical framework connecting national culture and antecedents of trust, the quantitative and qualitative methodologies used to measure the constructs, and preliminary findings. Upon the completion of the presentations, Kurt Dirks, a renowned authority on trust issues, will act as a discussant and will comment on the GLOBE work. The symposium will end with an engaging discussion with the audience.
