Changes in population‐level alcohol sales after non‐medical cannabis legalisation in Canada
Alcohol sales changes in a Canadian province after recreational cannabis legalization
Nova Scotia's alcohol sales declined slightly after cannabis legalization, while changes at alcohol-only stores differed from those at stores also selling cannabis. The changes were consistent with government-owned cannabis retailing only marginally affecting consumers' alcohol purchasing, apparently triggering some substitution and co-use
Canada’s Recreational Cannabis Legalization and Medical Cannabis Patient Activity, 2017–2022
Objectives. To estimate changes in medical cannabis patient activity after Canada’s recreational cannabis legalization. Methods. I used linear regressions of interrupted times series models to analyze medical cannabis patient registrations per 10 000 residents, purchases per 100 registrations, and packages per purchase in Canada’s 10 provinces between April 2017 and December 2022. I tested relationships between the recreational law’s passage in J…

The Effectiveness of Rocket Attacks and Defenses in Israel
This empirical article studies rocket attacks and defenses in Israel during operations Protective Edge, Pillar of Defense, and Cast Lead, and also during the Second Lebanon War. It analyzes publicly available counts of rockets fired, fatalities, casualties, and property damage. The estimates suggest that interceptor deployment and civil defense improvements both reduced Israel's losses slightly during Pillar of Defense and substantially during Pr…
A Counterfactual Study of the Charge of the Light Brigade
Researchers use a mathematical model to perform a counterfactual study of the 1854 Charge of the Light Brigade. They first calibrate the model with historical data so that it reproduces the actual charge's outcome. They then adjust the model to see how that outcome might have changed if the Heavy Brigade had joined the charge and/or if the charge had targeted the Russian forces on the heights instead of those in the valley. The results suggest th…
Refighting Pickett's Charge
Objective We model Pickett's Charge at the Battle of Gettysburg to see whether the Confederates could have achieved victory by committing more infantry, executing a better barrage, or facing a weaker defense. Methods Our mathematical modeling is based on Lanchester equations, calibrated using historical army strengths. We weight the Union artillery and infantry two different ways using two sources of data, and so have four versions of the model. …
Chinese Populations in Contemporary Southeast Asian Societies
New perspectives on the past and present contributions of the 25 million strong Chinese diaspora in Southeast Asia to the development of contemporary society. Case studies feature organisational, community, religious, and other arenas of Chinese activity and identity definition, and the book analyses the interplay of local, regional, global and transnational networks and identities.

Grandchildren's Influences on Grandparents
Intergenerational research examining grandparents' influences on grandchildren has a long history and has attracted expanded attention in the context of population aging. Grandchildren's influences on grandparents have remained relatively under-researched. This study draws on qualitative research of social aging in a multiethnic population of women in urban New Zealand to examine grandchildren as a resource for social integration of older people.…

Older Women's Organization of Friendship Support Networks
Research of friendship in older people's lives has recently extended to examine the impact of social structural factors. This study compared the friendship support networks of a small sample of older African and White American women for influences of ethnicity. The comparison used a matched-pair sample which controlled for age, marital status, residence type, and disability. Examination of data from the women's diagrams and descriptions of curren…

Integrating a Cultural Perspective into Rehabilitation Education
Increased U.S. involvement in rehabilitation activities in other countries is opening more opportunities for rehabilitationists to work in cross-cultural situations. On the home front, there is need for practitioners who are prepared to work with members of cultural minorities and recent immigrant groups. Equally compelling is the need for practitioners whose education has prepared them to work effectively with people who are different from thems…

Friends as a Source of Informal Support for Older Women with Physical Disabilities
This paper uses data from self-constructed social support networks and friendship-focused life reviews to examine the friendship support situations of a small group of older women with physical disabilities. The focus is on how the women have experienced and responded to the friendship changes that commonly occur in later life. Changes in both the form and content of friendship relationships and also in how form and content intermesh are examined…
