- Description: From Introduction: The present edition of the journal is also interesting in that three different perspectives stand out, namely methodology, context and quality, perspectives which permeate the journal papers in various ways. The journal opens with a methodology think piece by Price. In this think piece, she challenges us to avoid ‘methodolatry’ in an environmental education context, noting that this requires us to resist hegemonic methodological assumptions – she suggests that positivism, post-structuralism and participatory methodology may all have such ‘hegemonic status’ and calls on us to critically and reflexively challenge the assumptions that inform and shape our methodologies and methodological commitments. She explains how she herself navigated this problem via the use of critical realist research approaches. The paper can therefore serve as a useful reflexive tool for authors who have contributed to the journal to review their methodological assumptions and practices and to ‘think deeply’ about the role of methodology in the research that we undertake.

- Description: publisher version , Environmental policy development and implementation has become a ‘hot topic’ in southern Africa, following global imperatives for countries around the world to articulate their intentions to become more sustainable through public policy. Many policies in the region have been developed with the support of large scale donor funding. Much of the funding is often allocated to policy development processes rather than policy implementation processes, and many countries have experienced ‘gaps’ between policy intention and policy playing out in the field. Recently the Southern African Development Community’s Regional Environmental Education Programme (SADC REEP) appointed an environmental education policy advisor to influence regional policy (our Guest Editor, Charles Obol).This edition of the journal, funded by SADC REEP, aims to provide perspective on the policy-in-practice nexus in southern Africa.

- Description: The publication of Richard Florida's (2002) The Rise of the Creative Class marked a growing international interest in the creative economy. There are several ways of understanding the creative economy, often divided into the cultural and creative industries. Cultural industries are those whose major outputs have some symbolic value, such as fine arts, film and craft, jewelry design, publishing and fashion. Creative industries are defined more broadly as those that have knowledge as their major input. In addition to cultural goods and services, these include things like software design and internet services. UNESCO (2009) provides guidelines for defining the cultural and creative industries and the ways in which they can be measured, but there is currently no international consensus. Nor is there likely to be, since different countries will have very different levels of involvement and focus that may shape what information is useful, for example, for shaping policy.

Energy versus angular momentum in black hole binaries

- Description: Using accurate numerical-relativity simulations of (nonspinning) black-hole binaries with mass ratios 1∶1, 2∶1, and 3∶1, we compute the gauge-invariant relation between the (reduced) binding energy E and the (reduced) angular momentum j of the system. We show that the relation E(j) is an accurate diagnostic of the dynamics of a black-hole binary in a highly relativistic regime. By comparing the numerical-relativity ENR(j) curve with the predictions of several analytic approximation schemes, we find that, while the canonically defined, nonresummed post-Newtonian–expanded EPN(j) relation exhibits large and growing deviations from ENR(j), the prediction of the effective one body formalism, based purely on known analytical results (without any calibration to numerical relativity), agrees strikingly well with the numerical-relativity results.

Radioluminescence is observed at 410 nm for the unannealed sample but principally at 330 and 410 nm in the annealed sample with the emission at 330 nm dominant. Both bands are subject to thermal quenching but the change for the F+ band is atypical. Temperature induced effects on these and other bands are discussed, as are complementary measurements of thermoluminescence spectra.
