Influence of Urban Planning on Social Dynamics
It is well known that there is a complex interaction between urban spatial design and human behavior. Environment has a significant impact on social dynamics and the activities of people. It is more pronounced in cities. In the Al-Bataween area of Baghdad, the interaction of people with their surroundings provides an opportunity to examine the physical space layout that influences routines and social interactions. In this context, this paper exam…
The Salvific Effects of Almsgiving and the Moral Status of the Poor in Talmudic Judaism and Late Antique Christianity
This article explores several parallel teachings in rabbinic Judaism and late antique Christianity regarding redemptive almsgiving. First, the author calls attention to remarks made by Cyprian of Carthage and John Chrysostom that maintain almsgiving delivers from physical death, similar to the statements in the Babylonian Talmud known as the »tzedakah saves from death« sayings. In contrast to some earlier Christian sources, Cyprian and John viewe…

Pretreatment Expectations of New Zealand Clients Receiving Cognitive-Behavioural Psychotherapy
A study of New Zealand clients' expectations of psychotherapy was conducted using the Psychotherapy Questionnaire (PQ). The PQ was administered to 141 New Zealand clients attending their first appointment with a clinical psychologist. The New Zealand clients' expectations were compared to previous research using a sample of USA clients who also completed the PQ prior to their first visit with a therapist. Those differences between the NZ and USA …
The future of public health
Significant progress has been made in developing the biological, social, and behavioral science base for public health services. But this knowledge will have limited value unless it is transformed into programs and services for the people who need them. The systems and mechanics for this transmutation may not have reached their full potential. Assuring that they do so offers, in the 1990s, a challenge and an opportunity for the public health comm…
Environmental health and African Americans
As environmental health has taken on immensely increased significance in the prevention of disease, dysfunction, and premature death, its boundaries have been anything but stable. This instability, along with a multitude of demographic, social, and economic currents, have brought into stark relief the increasing demand for scientists who have the skills and knowledge to perform environmental risk assessment and implement effective risk management…

The Oedipvs of Seneca
Aristotle in the Poetics repeatedly turned to the Oedipus Tyrannus for what he believed to be the finest examples of plot, structure, characterisation, and moral content in tragedy. Seneca's Oedipus contrasts with Sophocles' to a quite extraordinary degree; and it is these same elements, so much admired in Sophocles, which in Seneca are handled so differently. It is evident that Seneca was not in any sense trying to emulate Sophocles, or to meet …
Urban Planning and Social Welfare
The rationale which welfare economics provides for urban planning activity seems to be fairly well established, and welfare economic theory can thus be seen as a valuable basis for a theory of planning. However, two major issues concerning the impact of planning activity on social welfare still need to be considered even if this basis is accepted. The first of these is the question of distribution. If society considers some distributions of welfa…
