Multi-Informant Assessment of Social–Emotional Learning
This study examined cross-informant convergence in social–emotional learning (SEL) assessment by quantifying associations among students’ self-reports, parent ratings, and teacher ratings across SEL domains. The sample included 2,253 students (51.5% female; 46.1% White; aged 10–17 years) enrolled in 464 classrooms across multiple grade levels and public schools in South and Southeast Brazil, along with reports from 2,156 parents (87.2% female) an…
Parental Care by Family Structure (Nuclear, Remarried, Single-Parent, LGBTQIA+) and Child Gender
Background: Despite diversity in family structures, few studies have examined how family structure and child gender shape parental care, particularly in Brazil. Goal: This study examines how family structure and child gender relate to parent values and goal orientations toward child development in Brazil. Methods: The sample included 129 caregivers from different structures including: nuclear (47.3%), remarried (32.6%), single-parent (10.9%), and…
An Initial Evaluation of a Measure of Social‐Emotional Skills Among Brazilian Children and Adolescents
Growing evidence suggests that providing children and adolescents with explicit opportunities to learn social and emotional skills during elementary and secondary school can support positive developmental outcomes. However, understanding the benefits of social‐emotional learning (SEL) programs requires an ability to measure potential changes in SEL skills. This study investigates the factor structure, reliability, and preliminary percentile norms…
An exploratory study of child-rearing values and socialization goals among different family structures
Coming Up Next
Recent models of sequential narratives suggest that readers form predictions about upcoming panels as they read. However, previous work has considered these predictions only in terms of currently viewed information. In the current studies, we investigate to what extent readers are using information from un‐fixated panels in comic stories. Using the moving‐window paradigm, we studied whether reading behavior was disrupted when upcoming panels were…
Social support among English learners with disabilities and other adolescents
INTRODUCTION: Social support is important for many youth but may be particularly important for English learners (ELs) with disabilities, a population that has historically faced barriers accessing resources to meet their educational needs. The current study investigates social support from parents, peers, teachers, and schools in a nationally representative sample of adolescents. METHOD: Data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study 2012 w…
The effects of cooperative learning on self-reported peer relations, peer support, and classroom engagement among students with disabilities
Students with disabilities are at an increased risk of experiencing poorer quality peer relationships than those without disabilities. Previous school-based efforts to promote positive peer interactions among students with and without disabilities have included individual skill development and broader initiatives such as inclusive school practices. In the current study, we investigate the effects of cooperative learning (CL) on peer relationships…
Introduction

There are now 20-plus titles available to the public for free download and distribution on a range of subject matters relating to…
Home Blood Pressure Monitoring And Nocturia In Adults
The United Nations of IR
This paper critiques a core premise of Global IR: the association of knowledge with geography, which we term geo-epistemology. It argues that ‘American’ and Global IR share a Eurocentric spatial imaginary, one that was a product of Western expansion and empire. Through its geo-epistemology, Global IR enables a conservative appropriation of the critique of Eurocentrism in IR. Globality becomes a matter of assembling sufficient geographic represent…
The Inventory of Teacher‐Student Relationships
Teacher–student relationships have been studied with increasing intensity during the past three decades, but the majority of this study has focused on young children and has relied on teacher perceptions of these relationships. The current study was designed to add to this growing body of research by exploring the factor structure, reliability, and validity of an instrument designed to measure adolescents' perceptions of their own relationships w…
Global prevalence and burden of depressive and anxiety disorders in 204 countries and territories in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic
BACKGROUND: Before 2020, mental disorders were leading causes of the global health-related burden, with depressive and anxiety disorders being leading contributors to this burden. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has created an environment where many determinants of poor mental health are exacerbated. The need for up-to-date information on the mental health impacts of COVID-19 in a way that informs health system responses is imperative. In …
Social Support Among College Students With Disabilities
The current study explores the structural and functional features of social support among college students with disabilities. Findings indicated that parents and friends were critical sources of support among all students. Analyses of specific subgroup differences by disability indicated that students in certain disability groups (e.g., psychological disabilities) had significantly fewer sources of support than did students in other categories. T…
Patterns of early adult work and postsecondary participation among individuals with high-incidence disabilities
Interest in the pathways young people take from high school to early adulthood indicates that participation in early employment and postsecondary education facilitates long-term independence, agency, and career stability (Eliason et al., 2015; Shanahan et al., 2002). Although many adolescents with disabilities do not participate in these early adult experiences at rates commensurate with their normative peers, the overall structure, timing, and p…
Global Burden of Cardiovascular Diseases and Risk Factors, 1990–2019
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), principally ischemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke, are the leading cause of global mortality and a major contributor to disability. This paper reviews the magnitude of total CVD burden, including 13 underlying causes of cardiovascular death and 9 related risk factors, using estimates from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2019. GBD, an ongoing multinational collaboration to provide comparable and consisten…
Imperial dialectics and epistemic mapping
What would it mean to construct a post-imperial discipline rather than a ‘post-Western’ one? ‘Post-imperial’ means addressing the ways in which colonial empires divided the world into separate realms of human capability and thought. The binary categories of Western and Eastern, or Western and non-Western, represent one such way of dividing the world according to an imperial imaginary. Rather than merely excluding, these divisions created justific…
The global burden of disease attributable to alcohol and drug use in 195 countries and territories, 1990–2016
BACKGROUND: Alcohol and drug use can have negative consequences on the health, economy, productivity, and social aspects of communities. We aimed to use data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2016 to calculate global and regional estimates of the prevalence of alcohol, amphetamine, cannabis, cocaine, and opioid dependence, and to estimate global disease burden attributable to alcohol and drug use between 1…
The Cinematic Spell in an Island of Uncertainty
I arrived in the island of Chiloé with the idea of making a fictional film about the 1880 Chilean State trial against a powerful organisation of sorcerers. Based on the experiences and encounters that emerged from my attempt to develop the film through a collaborative approach, I argue that witchcraft on the island works not simply as an old myth but as a contemporary practice of resistance. Knowledge, stories, silences about witchcraft counterac…

Global, Regional, and National Burden of Cardiovascular Diseases for 10 Causes, 1990 to 2015
BACKGROUND: The burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remains unclear in many regions of the world. OBJECTIVES: The GBD (Global Burden of Disease) 2015 study integrated data on disease incidence, prevalence, and mortality to produce consistent, up-to-date estimates for cardiovascular burden. METHODS: CVD mortality was estimated from vital registration and verbal autopsy data. CVD prevalence was estimated using modeling software and data from h…
Decolonization
As Jan C. Jansen and Jürgen Osterhammel state in the opening pages of their new book, Decolonization: a short history, the ‘lingering aftereffects’ of European empires’ unravelling in the mid-twentieth century continue to inhabit politics from Tunisia to Australia, from North Korea to Zimbabwe to Oxford (p. vii). Situated in a connected, if not shared, world history, decolonization was a seismic shift—with the accompanying images of aftershocks, …
O’Casey and the City
Seán O’Casey’s first three produced plays are often referred to as the ‘Dublin Trilogy’. They were not conceived as a trilogy but they are centrally concerned with representing the city, a relatively new departure in Irish theatre at the time. This chapter draws on theories of the city to analyse some of the ways in which tenement life and the urban society around it are dramatized in the first Dublin plays, before moving on to consider how O’Cas…
The global burden of injury
BACKGROUND: The Global Burden of Diseases (GBD), Injuries, and Risk Factors study used the disability-adjusted life year (DALY) to quantify the burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors. This paper provides an overview of injury estimates from the 2013 update of GBD, with detailed information on incidence, mortality, DALYs and rates of change from 1990 to 2013 for 26 causes of injury, globally, by region and by country. METHODS: Injury morta…
Enhancing the Validity and Cross-Cultural Comparability of Measurement in Survey Research
We address two long-standing survey research problems: measuring complicated concepts, such as political freedom and efficacy, that researchers define best with reference to examples; and what to do when respondents interpret identical questions in different ways. Scholars have long addressed these problems with approaches to reduce incomparability, such as writing more concrete questions-with uneven success. Our alternative is to measure directl…
Parent and Teacher Relationships as Predictors of School Engagement and Functioning Among Low-Income Urban Youth
This investigation examined associations between early adolescents' relationships with parents and teachers and indicators of school-adjustment. Participants were primarily students of color (91% Latino) in a low-income urban environment, and analyses were conducted to examine the relative contributions of parent-child and teacher-student relationships to school adjustment among these youth. Findings indicated that parent-child relationship quali…
Rethinking Human Security
Over the last two decades, the international community has begun to conclude that attempts to ensure the territorial security of nation-states through military power have failed to improve the human condition. Despite astronomical levels of military spending, deaths due to military conflict have not declined. Moreover, even when the borders of some states are secure from foreign threats, the people within those states do not necessarily have free…

Modified logit life table system
Despite its widespread use, the Coale-Demeny model life table system does not capture the extensive variation in age-specific mortality patterns observed in contemporary populations, particularly those of the countries of Eastern Europe and populations affected by HIV/AIDS. Although relational mortality models, such as the Brass logit system, can identify these variations, these models show systematic bias in their predictive ability as mortality…
The Importance of Teacher-Student Relationships for Adolescents with High Incidence Disabilities
In this article the authors examine the theoretical and empirical basis of teacher-student relationships. They focus specifically on the importance of supportive teacher-student relationships in the lives of adolescents with high-incidence disabilities. Students receiving special education services in these categories are at a heightened risk of experiencing social, emotional, and mental health problems. School-based programs and practices design…
The Epidemiologic Transition Revisited
For decades, researchers have noted systematic shifts in cause-of-death patterns as mortality levels change. The notion of the "epidemiologic transition" has influenced thinking about the evolution of health in different societies and the response of the health system to these changes. This article re-examines the epidemiologic transition in terms of empirical regularities in the cause composition of mortality by age and sex since 1950, and consi…

The Inventory of Teacher-Student Relationships
This study investigates the factor structure, reliability, and validity of the Inventory of Teacher-Student Relationships (IT-SR), a measure that was developed by adapting the widely used Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachments (Armsden & Greenberg, 1987) for use in the context of teacher-student relationships. The instrument was field tested with a sample of African American students from low-income backgrounds (N = 171). An exploratory factor …
Seán O’Casey
Se?O'Casey was the quintessential Dublin playwright. In critical works that include his Dublin Trilogy - The Shadow of a Gunman, Juno and the Paycock, and The Plough and the Stars - he portrayed the traumatic birth of a nation and delved into the Irish national character. Christopher Murray's Se?O'Casey: Writer at Work takes a fresh look at the last of the great writers of the Irish literary revival
Adult health
Adults, defined here as people between 15 and 59 years of age, in developing countries have a high risk of premature death and suffer from frequent morbidity and high rates of chronic impairment. Their ill health imposes a major burden on health services and large negative consequences on families, communities, and societies. This paper describes the level and impact of adult mortality and morbidity, and highlights some of its characteristics and…

South African Land Reform
This article offers an ethnographic cross-section in one province of South Africa's new land reform programme. ‘Demand’ and ‘participation’ are the rhetorical keywords of the programme. Demand for land redistribution, however, cannot be understood in abstraction from the political and economic conditions of its supply. Similarly, ‘participation’ is a managed process involving many institutional intermediaries. A series of illustrative case-studie…

Profiling adjustment among postsecondary students with disabilities
The current investigation examines profiles of postsecondary adjustment among college students with disabilities. Students’ self-perceptions of practical gains, personal gains, educational gains, their overall satisfaction with postsecondary school, and their college GPA were subjected to a latent profile analysis. Results indicated that students fell into 1 of 3 profiles (i.e., poorly adjusted, average adjusted, or highly adjusted) but were over…
