Long-term Outcomes of a 1-year Hypertension Quality Improvement Initiative in a Large Health System
BACKGROUND: Understanding whether practices retain outcomes attained during a quality improvement (QI) initiative can inform resource allocation. OBJECTIVE: We report blood pressure (BP) control and medication intensification in the 3 years after a 2016 QI initiative ended. RESEARCH DESIGN: Retrospective cohort. SUBJECTS: Adults with a diagnosis of hypertension who had a primary care visit in a large-integrated health system between 2015 and 2019…
Vision, Narrative, and Wisdom in the Aramaic Texts from Qumran
"Vision, Narrative, and Wisdom in the Aramaic Texts from Qumran: Essays from the Copenhagen Symposium, 14–15 August 2017, by Mette Bundvad and Kasper Siegismund (eds.), with the collaboration of Melissa Sayyad Bach, Søren Holst, and Jesper Høgenhaven" published on 17 Mar 2022 by Brill
Priesthood and Cult in the Visions of Amram
This paper evaluates the attitudes toward the contemporary Jerusalem priesthood and cult on evidence in the Visions of Amram. To the extent that this issue has been treated, scholars have generally argued that the Visions of Amram originated among groups that were hostile to the Aaronid priesthood. Such treatments, however, have left some of the most germane fragments unexamined, several of which deal directly with matters pertaining to the cult,…
Modeling Environmental Concern for Urban Tree Protection Using Biophysical and Social Psychological Indicators
Urban forest management is being increasingly recognized as a viable policy vehicle for improving community health, sustainable development, and well-being for city dwellers. To improve our understanding of public concern for the local urban forest, a theoretical framework employing concepts traditionally explored in social–psychological and environmental concern studies was tested using data from a public opinion survey of 800 homeowners living …
Examining Linkages between Race, Environmental Concern, Health, and Justice in a Highly Polluted Community of Color
Currently, there is a limited amount of research on Black attitudes toward the environment. Moreover, possible linkages between race, environmental attitudes, and perceptions about environmental health and justice have not been examined in the United States. This study contributes to this literature by assessing several of these linkages using data obtained from a survey of 247 residents living in or around a highly polluted community of color. I…
Breastfeeding and Postpartum Amenorrhea in Rural Guatemala
The association between breastfeeding patterns and resumption of postpartum menstruation was examined in rural Guatemalan women from the INCAP longitudinal study (1969-1977). It was distinguished among women who experienced infant mortality before menses resumed, women who weaned before menses resumed, and women who had return of menses while still breastfeeding. Weaning and infant mortality before menses resumes are significant risk factors for …
Using Theory to Understand Public Support for Collective Actions that Impact the Environment
Objectives. There is increasing public debate over how to meet future water supply needs in historically water‐abundant areas such as the American southeast. Citizens, policymakers, and others are struggling to find ways to meet these needs and to design political strategies for implementing them. This article examines water supply problems facing many communities in the southeast and how social theory can be used to better understand public supp…
Citizen Participation in Natural Resource Management
The main focus of this research is on the changing role of citizen participation in natural resource management. Evidence suggests that citizens who participate in the management of natural resources are not representative of stakeholders who are impacted by the decisions being made. In an effort to assess the representativeness of citizen participation, we conducted telephone surveys of “residents” who live in the watershed of Tennessee Valley A…
Green Migration into Rural America
This article proposes that shifts in rural population and economic growth patterns may help explain rising levels of support for environmental values in many rural areas. In particular, it assesses a model of "green migration" that assumes that domestic in-migration, with its impacts on the character and composition of rural communities, is one of the reasons environmental values may be gaining support in rural America. Results based on survey da…
Longitudinal analysis of deciduous tooth emergence
Previous studies, mostly in European populations, found sex differences in the pattern of deciduous tooth emergence. Most studies find that the anterior dentition in males is precocial relative to the female dentition, and the pattern reverses so that females lead males in the emergence of the posterior deciduous dentition. Less is known about sex differences in the dental development and emergence of non‐European populations. Here we examine the…

New Trends in Measuring Environmental Attitudes
Dunlap and Van Liere's New Environmental Paradigm (NEP) Scale, published in 1978, has become a widely used measure of proenvironmental orientation. This article develops a revised NEP Scale designed to improve upon the original one in several respects: (1) It taps a wider range of facets of an ecological worldview, (2) It offers a balanced set of pro- and anti-NEP items, and (3) It avoids outmoded terminology. The new scale, termed the New Ecolog…
How Green is My Valley? Tracking Rural and Urban Environmentalism in the Southern Appalachian Ecoregion1
Research on the social bases of environmentalism in the United States has generally found that urban residents are more concerned about the environment than rural residents. Recent research suggests this may no longer be the case, particularly in specific settings or under certain conditions. This paper examines the issue by reviewing recent survey research on rural and urban environmentalism. Tests for significant differences between urban and r…
Longitudinal analysis of deciduous tooth emergence
We present a form of parametric survival analysis that incorporates exact, interval-censored, and right-censored times to deciduous tooth emergence. The method is an extension of common cross-sectional procedures such as logit and probit analysis, so that data arising from mixed longitudinal and cross-sectional studies can be properly combined. We extended the method to incorporate and estimate a proportion of agenic teeth. While we concentrate o…

Black concern for the environment
This article first discusses major misconceptions and limitations of research conducted in the United States on race and concern for the environment. An overview of four hypotheses pertaining to concern for the environment among blacks is then provided. Support for each hypothesis is judged by reviewing recent literature and by analyzing the National Opinion Research Center's (NORC) General Social Survey (GSS) trend data 1973–93. The overall evid…
A dynamic, multi‐level analysis of recent immunization trends in Colombia
During 1985-91, Latin American ministries of health carried out the ultimately successful Regional Polio Eradication Initiative. Unprecedented vaccine coverage levels were attained through a combination of mass campaigns, house-to-house vaccinations, and improvements in routine immunization services. Little is known, however, about the effects of these interventions on immunization demand; whether they reached so-called high-risk households and, …
Effects of Lactation on Post-partum Amenorrhoea
In this paper we re-estimate the effects of breastfeeding patterns on the timing of resumption of menses after controlling for maternal nutrition and maternal stressor variables. The analysis shows that simple hazard models, used on data from a longitudinal study in Guatemala, provide estimates of effects on timing of resumption of menstruation that are (a) comparable to others discussed in the recent literature and (b) generally consistent with …

The Social Bases of Environmental Concern
Using data obtained from National Opinion Research Center's General Social Surveys (1973-1990), this paper tests two hypotheses concerning possible changes in the sociopolitical correlates of environmental concern. The 'broadening base' hypothesis predicts that environmental concern will diffuse throughout the populace, resulting in a broader base of support for environmental protection, while the 'economic contingency' hypothesis predicts that t…
Longitudinal analysis of deciduous tooth emergence in Indonesian children. I. Life table methodology
Deciduous tooth emergence was investigated in a sample of 468 children from central Java. The subjects were examined every 35 days for up to 2 years. Statistics on the timing of emergence for each tooth were derived from actuarial life table estimates, and male and female survivorship curves of tooth emergence were compared for statistical sex differences. Javanese children exhibited delayed emergence compared to other populations. No overall pat…
The effect of initiation of child supplementation on resumption of post-partum menstruation
The effects of initiation of solid and liquid supplementation on resumption of post-partum menstruation are examined, 0using data from a 2-year prospective study of birth interval dynamics from central Java, Indonesia. The sample analysed consisted of 444 women who experienced resumption of menses while breast-feeding, women who were breast-feeding and amenorrhoeic at the end of the study, or women who resumed menstruation or were censored after …

Personality and the Preference for Modes of Conflict Resolution
This article reports the research findings of the relationships of personality variables and preferences for modes of conflict resolution. Eleven hypotheses were developed relating nine personality variables-achievement, dominance, aggression, affiliation, deference, succorance, nurturance, dogmatism, and Machiavellianism-to the preference for smoothing, forcing and confronting. These hypotheses were tested using a sample of 136 MBA students and …

Salient Differences between Internal and External Standards for Hospitalizing Opiate Addicts
Drug addicts evaluated by the treatment staff prior to treatment were compared on several self-concept scales with those screened elsewhere by contract agencies. Persons committed directly to treatment demonstrated a greater degree of psychopathology and less middle-class identification than those found suitable after local pretreatment evaluation. Those evaluated elsewhere showed a significantly higher rate of failure to complete successfully th…

Jacob Sievers, Enlightened Reform and the Development of a "Third Estate" in Russia
When the Charter to the Towns of April 21, 1785 defined townsmen (gorodskie obyvateli, meshchane, liudi srednego roda) as all those who are long time residents in or have been born in or have settled in or own houses or buildings or land in a town,' it concluded a major reform of the laws dealing with Russia's towns and their inhabitants. Russian law had come to recognize the principle of urban citizenship defined in terms of residence and endowe…

Relationships between Machiavellianism, Task Orientation and Team Effectiveness
In this study 115 graduate business students most of whom were men employed full time in technical-professional and management fields operated in 32 groups to compete in a management-simulation game. Group task orientation and Machiavellianism were significant predictors of the groups' effectiveness. Machiavellianism, task orientation, and their interaction accounted for 46% of the variance in the teams' effectiveness. Earlier studies found high …
Getting the Goods to St. Petersburg
Although historians have often noted the disadvantages of St. Petersburg's location for the development of a major city and seaport, they have paid relatively little attention to one of its most serious handicaps, its lack of direct and easy access to the products of the Russian interior. From the founding of St. Petersburg in 1703 to the opening of the Mariinsk and Tikhvin canals in 1810–11, the difficulty of transporting goods from the province…
Garbled voices from Africa
The three names W. E. B. Du Bois, George Padmore, and Franz Fanon have been associated in the Western mind with the Pan‐African movement. These men wrote and spoke on behalf of Africa. Indeed, all three emigrated to Africa to live their last days in the service of African states. Yet they were not African; they were all from the black diaspora. It is the thesis of this article that the Pan‐African views that these men developed flowed not from Af…
A biobehavioral model for breastfeeding effects on return to menses postpartum in Javanese women
This paper examines the effects of nursing behavior on the duration of lactation amenorrhea in 382 rural Indonesian women who experienced resumption of menses while breastfeeding or were breastfeeding and amenorrheic at the end of a two‐year prospective study. Three primary breastfeeding variables (number of night‐time nursing bouts, number of day‐time nursing bouts, and minutes per bout) were used to develop a behavioral model for breastfeeding.…
Breast-feeding and post-partum amenorrhoea in Indonesia
The association between breast-feeding patterns and resumption of menses post-partum was examined in a prospective study in Indonesia. In order to examine these relationships directly in a longitudinal study, it was first necessary to distinguish among women who experienced infant mortality before menses resumed, women who weaned before menses resumed, and women who had return to menses while breast-feeding. Information on suckling patterns and m…

The Dnieper Trade Route in the Late Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth Centuries
territorial gains from the First Turkish War (176874) brought with them an unprecedented opportunity to market ^ the agricultural surpluses produced in the upper and middle reaches of the Dnieper River and its tributaries. Between 1764 and 1774, Russia had increased her control over that territory by annexing Belorussia in the first partition of Poland, and by converting the formerly autonomous Ukraine into the region of the Russian Empire known …
