Exploring women’s views toward no-lo alcohol products during pregnancy
Background Pregnancy encompasses a period of socially expected and medically advised abstinence from alcohol. The UK has one of the highest rates of alcohol exposed pregnancies globally. ‘Non-alcoholic and low alcohol’ (NoLo) drinks may provide a viable means to support abstinence or harm reduction. We explore women’s views towards NoLo products including consumption barriers and enablers.Methods We conducted 18 semi-structured photo-elicitation …

The Effects of an Inclusive Badminton Program on Static Postural Control for Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
The purpose of the study was to examine static postural control/balance in young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and typically developing (TD) young adults before, during, and after an inclusive badminton intervention. Eight participants (four IDD-BADM and four TD-BADM) participated in a 12-week inclusive badminton intervention, with the other eight participants as matched controls (four IDD-CONTR and four TD-CONTR) …
Trends in Privacy of Adults With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Before and After the Home and Community-Based Services Final Rule
In 2014, the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) launched the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Final Rule intended to improve the quality of HCBS for people with disabilities. The Rule focuses on improving outcomes through person-centered services and supports. These outcomes include privacy and dignity. This study reviewed state compliance with the Final Rule by examining statewide transition plans and investigating the F…
Civilizational Analysis as a Mode of the Intercultural
Classical and contemporary civilizational analysis has not sat comfortably with theoretical constructions of the intercultural or their empirical applications. A ‘classical era’ of civilizations analysis generated a program of research problems that was productive in critical and multidisciplinary ways and limited in scope and vision in others, but this failed to generate a provisional notion of the intercultural. Contemporary civilizational anal…
Balinese Hindu Palm-Leaf Manuscript Literacy Program in Indonesia
Recently, the Balinese Hindu Palm-Leaf manuscript literacy campaign has been formalized in Indonesia in a regional law concerning the Balinese language, scripts, and literature. This study examines this practice to determine how the literacy program has been implemented
Ecological Relevance of Traditional Poetry
Hadih Majah is a form of oral poetry in the Aceh region in Indonesia. It articulates the relationship between literature and Nature, people, culture, customs and beliefs. This paper examines the concepts of eco-criticism contained in the Acehnese Literature. The research focuses on natural ecology and the surrounding cultural ecology related to Hadih Majah
Resilience Measuring Tools for Risk Assessment & Disaster Preparedness in India
In today's increasingly complex and dynamic environment, the ability to manage environmental risks and seize opportunities for enhanced well-being is paramount for individuals, organizations, and governments. However, translating this concept into practice has proven to be a formidable challenge, primarily due to the absence of robust tools for the comprehensive assessment of resilience and its integration into development initiatives
Freedom is a Point of Departure, Not a Horizon
The following is a review of the recently published translation of Theory of the Solitary Sailor by Gilles Grelet (trans. Amy Ireland and Robin Mackaye, Falmouth: Urbanomic, 2022). It highlights the significance of the work, its major stakes, and asks questions regarding the future of Grelet's methodical anti-philosophical invention. Author(s): Jeremy R.

The genesis, development and implementation of an interdisciplinary university Cross-School Research Group
This article examines the genesis, development and implementation of an interdisciplinary university cross-school research group (three individual schools) at Federation University in Australia. This CSRG is a consequence of both local and national calls for interdisciplinarity in university research and a direct response to the revised Strategic Goals and Policy document at Federation University. Using a conceptual framework based on a treatise …
Poverty, Comorbidity, and Ethnicity
Observed COVID-19 in-hospital mortality rate was lower than most published rates. Age, but not race-ethnicity, was independently correlated with in-hospital mortality. Safety net health systems are foundational in the care of vulnerable patients suffering from COVID-19, including patients from under-represented and low-income groups
Do numbers speak for themselves? Exploring the use of quantitative data to measure policy ‘success’ in historical Indigenous higher education in the Northern Territory, Australia
‘The numbers speak for themselves’ is a phrase often linked to statistics supporting claims about the success (or otherwise) of policies. Quantitative data are usually viewed as objective and somehow exempt from the same critique that qualitative data faces. QuantCrit theory challenges these assumptions by considering how structural racism impacts on the use of statistics in research and evaluation. This paper applies QuantCrit to the Indigenous …
Sa Awa ng Diyos
Panata, a prominent part of the Filipino culture, is a religious vow whereby devotees offer a sacrifice for thanksgiving, petition, or repentance in hopes of being rewarded by divine promise. This study focused on the experience of panata among female Black Nazarene devotees from low-income communities and sought to understand how they make sense of these experiences. Eleven participants from the Ladies of the Black Nazarene and Kababaihan ng Buk…
Supplemental Material for Historical Change in Midlife Health, Well-Being, and Despair
In the current study, we included Mexico, which is considered an upper-middle-income and developing nation and the United States, Australia, Germany, and South Korea, which are considered high-income nations. The distinction follows the United Nations (Millennium Development Indicators: World and Regional Groupings, 2003; UN, 2020) that uses the per capita gross national income (GNI) established by the World Bank to classify countries by their le…
Encounters and Engagement in the Civilizational Analysis of Japan
As a field of significant activity for historical sociologists in recent decades, civilizational analysis has produced extensive and incisive works examining Japan as a historical formation of Eurasia. However, the same cannot be said of Japan’s Pacific relationship with the United States, which is neglected in the major historical sociologies of Japanese modernity. This essay seeks to address that unnecessary oversight by putting that relationsh…

Evaluating Knowledge to Support Climate Action
As states, cities, tribes, and private interests cope with climate damages and seek to increase preparedness and resilience, they will need to navigate myriad choices and options available to them. Making these choices in ways that identify pathways for climate action that support their development objectives will require constructive public dialogue, community participation, and flexible and ongoing access to science- and experience-based knowle…

Loving the Many in the One
This is an essay in comparative ethics within the Platonist tradition. Although the primary focus is on Augustine's account of rightly ordered love of neighbor in De vera religione, it analyzes Augustine's account of the love of finite goods by comparing it with Plato's grounding of the love of imperfect creatures within an ontological hierarchy in Symposium. Against the backdrop of the critique by modern readers that neither thinker's teleologic…

From Protest to Agenda Building
Social movements often seek to draw attention to issues they deem important by organizing public demonstrations with the aim of attracting mass media coverage. But only a small proportion of all public demonstrations receives any media attention. This article asks whether even the minimal coverage that demonstrations receive reveal any influence of social movements in shaping how issues are framed by the mass media. Analyzing newspaper and televi…

Political Interpretations of 'Racial Segregation' in Britain
Perhaps because Britain has no history of de jure segregation, the politics of 'race' have received little attention in theories of residential differentiation based on the experience of that country. Segregation has, however, been of concern to British politicians throughout the postwar period. In this paper it is shown how, and it is suggested why, their responses have inadvertently sustained rather than ameliorated racial inequalities in the s…

Design: Prospective cohort. Setting: The former Wessex Health Region, South West England. Participants: All patients resident in Wessex registered with a diagnosis of colorectal cancer over three years (n=5176). Survival analysis was car…
The Many Americas
Civilizational analysis has not concerned itself too greatly with the historical experiences of the American New World. There are good reasons to correct this position and Shmuel Eisenstadt's principal work on America's distinct modernities goes some way to establishing the colonization of the Atlantic world as an opening phase of modernity. Nonetheless, a more far-reaching analysis of the distinctiveness of diverse American societies can be deve…
Rock Physics and the Neolithic Axe Trade in Great Britain
This paper is concerned with the products of a number of Neolithic quarries in highland Britain. It investigates the claim that the scale of axe distribution was partly the result of social factors which resulted in these artefacts gaining an added value in areas remote from their sources. One case study considers the sequence of production in Cumbria, in relation to the tensile strength of the rock quarried in different parts of the region. It s…

Grounds for engagement
This article elucidates grounds for engagement between two fields of the social sciences engaged in critique of Eurocentrism: contemporary civilizations analysis and postcolonial sociology. Between the two fields there are both evident dissonances and points of potential dialogue and engagement. The article identifies three areas of high contention: divergent perceptions of essentialism, commitments to transformative politics and evaluations of t…
Walking a Real Tight-rope of Difficulties
Since we know Sir Edward Heath was forced to impose direct rule over Northern Ireland in March 1972, before launching his government into a series of highly constructive (if unsuccessful) initiatives that led to the Sunningdale Agreement, his policy and approach towards the province during the first 18 months of his premiership has rarely been seen as anything other than a tale of miscalculation, poor judgement and political ignorance. However, w…

A town called Riddle
In the weeks after the release of Todd Haynes's film inspired by ‘the music and many lives’ of Bob Dylan, I'm Not There (2007), a consensus emerged that of the seven different ‘Dylans’ portrayed on screen, it was Richard Gere's ‘Billy the Kid’ that was the least successful. Critics had qualms about it, on the Internet Movie Database fans consistently gave Gere low marks, and the press leaked accounts that distributor Harvey Weinstein had wanted t…
Civilizational Sociology and Perspectives on the Atlantic
This paper calls for an opening of dialogue on the historical character of the Atlantic world between two fields. To date, historical sociologists researching the significance of inter-civilizational encounters have not paid a great deal of attention to the case of the Americas. While historical and comparative sociology has assimilated the lessons of post-colonial critique, the startling histories of transatlantic colonialism have not had the im…

The accompanying Inscriptions were found in the neighbourhood of “Dees,” a Bedouin town, a few hours' distant from Ras Sherma, on the southern coast of Arabia. The natives who came off to the ship, represented it as a populous well-cultivated district, abounding in vegetables and fruit of various descriptions. Having learned from these persons, that there were many ancient buildings, and some writing in a character unknown to the Arabs, we natura…

Standardization of an Educational Variable
In evaluating formal education as a factor explaining differences in rates of participation in the voluntary associations of a rural southern mountain community, sex and age differences in absolute levels of educational attainment were adjusted for by transforming them to standard scores within homogeneous cohorts. While this procedure produced only moderate changes in the conclusions drawn from a factorial analysis, examination of cases whose cl…
Paleomagnetic Study at a Nuclear Power Plant Site near Bakersfield, California
At the San Joaquin plant site near Bakersfield, California, the Brunhes/Matuyama reversal was identified 4 m below an ash probably correlative with the Bishop Tuff. Deposition of coarse detritus in a high-energy environment preceded the reversal, whereas a low-energy lake and back-swamp type sedimentation persisted through most of the interval, separating the reversal and the ash. Sediments below the reversal are strongly remagnetized in a normal…
The Hireling
I started my working life at the age of ten years when I used to spend my school summer holidays on a farm in the vicinity ofNewbridge-on-Wye.I used to go home on Saturday night for a change of shirt and socks and return back to the farm on Sunday evening. After the long summer holidays when I got back to school and settled in our new classes I had a painful accident whilst playing where I shouldn't have been. In a field close to home a farmer ha…

Making The Most Out Of Programme Evaluations and Social Experiments
The conventional approach to social programme evaluation focuses on estimating mean impacts of programmes. Yet many interesting questions regarding the political economy of programmes, the distribution of programme benefits and the option values conferred on programme participants require knowledge of the distribution of impacts, or features of it. This paper presents evidence that heterogeneity in response to programmes is empirically important …

HIV risk behaviours and situations as perceived by Thai adolescent daughters and their mothers in Bangkok, Thailand
The proportion of Thai women infected with HIV is rising. More than 60% of the estimated 70,000 young adults from ages 15 to 24 years who are infected with HIV are females. Furthermore, the ratio of adolescent females aged 15 to 19 years who are infected with HIV is twice that of adolescent males in the same age group (Thai Ministry of Public Health, 2005). A cross-sectional descriptive study identified the specific behaviours and situations plac…
