Luke for landlubbers
The nautical term is a hapax legomenon used twice in Acts 27 in the context of Paul’s captivity voyage to Rome. This article begins by examining how the word has been translated in verses 4 and 7 in relation to other sailing terms in the chapter. The varying translations, particularly of verse 4, are dependent on the interpretation of the journey’s route. Next the depiction of the journey in some Bible atlases is discussed. The atlases typically …
A plea for distinctions (counterfactuals and differential equations)
Are low-carbon innovations appealing? A typology of functional, symbolic, private and public attributes
What I’ve learned from the early moderns
The problem with relying on dietary surveys
Theories of dietary change and DR-NCD emergence and resulting interventions could be improved through a more holistic approach to nutrition that integrates sociocultural and historical evidence about both the target population and the scientists doing the research
Can consultation skills training change doctors' behaviour to increase involvement of patients in making decisions about standard treatment and clinical trials
BACKGROUND: Informed consent is required for both standard cancer treatments and experimental cancer treatments in a clinical trial. Effective and sensitive physician-patient communication about informed consent is difficult to achieve. Our aim was to train doctors in clear, collaborative and ethical communication about informed consent and evaluate the impact of training on doctor behaviour, stress and satisfaction. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: Par…
Applying learning theory to improve liking and intake of vegetables in children

AAPA Presentation Schedule
The history of infectious disease in humans (and to a lesser extent other primates) has been studied from different perspectives including those of bioarchaeology, medical history, and evolutionary genetics. Technical advances in nucleotide sequencing as well as in the ability to obtain genetic material from difficult sources (such as feces and ancient materials) have enhanced our ability to examine both ancient pathogens and pathogens that are d…
Estimating future costs for Alaska public infrastructure at risk from climate change
Family, Community, Church and State
This paper documents women’s experiences of relinquishing a child for adoption in Ireland. This group have long been silenced and largely invisible. The focus of the research on which this paper is based was to provide a means for the women to share their experiences of the process of concealment and ostracism and to review the socially sanctioned solutions particular to Irish society. The issues that emerge encompass personal, cultural and socie…

The social practice of psychology and the social sciences in a liberal democratic society
This paper explores the relevance of psychology and the social and human sciences in a changing South Africa. The new South Africa embraces a liberal democratic approach to government. The Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP) is a policy document that articulates the goals of this liberal democratic society and the transformative approach to be followed to achieve it. The RDP policy document advocates massive social change and the steps…
Community Structure and Co-operation in Biofilms
The study of biofilm considers the close association of micro-organisms with each other at interfaces and the consequent physiological adaptation to the proximity of other cells and surfaces. As such it is relevant to a variety of disciplines, including medicine, dentistry, bioremediation, biofouling, water technology, engineering and food science. Although the habitats studied, and their associated cellular communities, differ widely, some commo…
Professional Psychology
There is much debate at present around changing the professional structure of psychology to better meet the needs of South African society. In this paper this debate is assessed in terms of the requirements of the employment sector. Employment advertisements, for psychology and social and human science graduates appearing in three national weekly newspapers over 21 years, from 1976 to 1996, were analyzed. From the data it appears that the role of…
Employment Opportunities for Psychology Graduates in South Africa
The practice of psychology in South Africa currently depends on a high level of qualification and is reserved within professional registration. Apart from the fact that this professionalisation does not produce the human resources necessary to meet the social needs of the country, it is also excluding the potential enlistment of a very large number of graduates in psychology in social practice domains. In order to make an analysis of the current …
Modality of Language Shapes Working Memory
Deaf children who are native users of American Sign Language (ASL) and hearing children who are native English speakers performed three working memory tasks. Results indicate that language modality shapes the architecture of working memory. Digit span with forward and backward report, performed by each group in their native language, suggests that the language rehearsal mechanisms for spoken language and for sign language differ in their processi…
Working Memory for Sign Language
Traditionally, working memory has been divided into two major domains: verbal and visuo-spatial. The verbal domain of working memory can be characterized either by its relationship to language or by its grounding in auditory processing. Because of this ambiguity, languages that are not auditory and vocal (i.e., signed languages) pose a challenge to this conception of working memory. We describe several experiments with deaf users of American Sign…

Attitude toward and Experience of Industry-Based Alcohol Recovery Programmes
This paper reports the results of a survey of 161 Scottish organizations which asked questions in four areas: attitudes of employers toward alcoholism, present disciplinary practice on alcohol-related behaviours, structural features of firms relevant to their policy in discipline in this matter, and employers' views on support available in implementing a work-based alcohol-recovery programme. Results indicated (a) favourable attitudes toward the …
