Home‐based Work and Leisure Spaces: Settee or Work‐Station?

Abstract: The range of paid work carried out within the home suggests that a growing number of home‐working individuals will find themselves in distinctive positions in relation to the flows and interconnections of the space–time compression. This has potentially significant consequences for their experience of leisure. This article discusses how space and place within the home are contested issues that manifest in different ways across time. Consideration is made on the fluid nature of the spatial boundaries within the home environment and the impact this has upon the notion of the home as a site of, and for, leisure. The article explores how the home represents a physical setting and a matrix of social relationships, and discusses how this matrix proves especially complex for individuals engaged in home‐based work, particularly when aligned with notions of leisure choices and constraints.

Effect of cerium(IV) oxide on the optical and dielectric properties of strontium bismuth borate glasses

Abstract: Transparent glasses are widely used for making optical and electronic devices. Transparent 20SrO–(15−x)Bi2O3−xCeO2–65B2O3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 5, mol%) glasses are prepared via melt-quench technique and characterized using UV–visible and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectra. The ac conductivities of the glasses increase within the addition of CeO2. The physical parameter, density of the glass samples are characterized by Archimedes’ method. The optical absorption studies show that the present glass system behaves as a direct band gap semiconductor. The FT-IR studies show that the glasses are made up of [BO4] and [BO3] structural units. The conductivity analysis suggests that the charge transport occurs through the participation of nonbridging oxygen atoms.

Confessional tales from former football hooligans: a nostalgic, narcissistic wallow in football violence

Abstract: Recent years have seen the publication of a number of books written by former football hooligans in which they describe their violent activities during the 1960s through to the 1980s when British football hooliganism was at its peak. This essay reviews the background to the auto/biographical ‘hoolie‐lit’ publishing genre and considers the value of these accounts when researching hooliganism, together with an exploration of their themes and common trends. The essay sifts and sorts through these memory‐based auto/biographical accounts and concludes that very few offer any meaningful insight or merit in the study of football hooliganism. A small number of books are recommended as making a significant contribution whilst the vast majority are found wanting due to the cliched written style, formulaic structure and thoroughly narcissistic tone.
