AI Support for Special Education Students Navigating College Pathways in Texas
Background: Students with disabilities face unique challenges when transitioning to higher education, emphasizing the need for tailored support during the college application process. Advances in AI, particularly in personalized assistance, offer promising opportunities to improve accessibility in education. This study explored the role of AI in supporting students with disabilities by focusing on ADVi, an AI chatbot that provided college admissi…
“Take back control”
This paper examines the connection between the persistent neoliberalism in today’s consumer culture and the rise of far-right politics, which offers a nationalistic alternative consumer society. Using Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis (MCDA) to analyse materials from the 2016 European referendum campaigns, our findings show that Remain discourse reinforces neoliberal globalist and individualist narratives, while Leave discourse promotes the …

Indigenous systems knowledge applied to protocols for governance and inquiry
This paper details the progress to date of the Indigenous Knowledge Systems Lab (IKS Lab) at Deakin University in establishing organisational processes and methods of inquiry grounded in Indigenous protocols. Continuity of traditional knowledge and practice in the Lab requires a deep‐time perspective of complex systems both local and nonlocal, ensuring that ancient psycho‐technologies are retrieved forward for context‐dependent, collectively resp…

Out of Step with the World
Photo by Glen E. Friedman [E]ven though it seems like Minor Threat looks kind of normal in its clothing, sitting on the front porch on our last record, Salad Days, [...] that was shocking. That was kind of revolutionary within the punk scene, to be dressing down. -Jeff Nelson Punk upended music and fashion when it burst onto the popular culture landscape in the mid-1970s. Its provocative visual aesthetic—from album artwork to fanzines to clothing…

Safety and efficacy of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine (AZD1222) against Sars-CoV-2
Background A safe and efficacious vaccine against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), if deployed with high coverage, could contribute to the control of the COVID-19 pandemic. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine in a pooled interim analysis of four trials. Methods This analysis includes data from four ongoing blinded, randomised, controlled trials done across the UK, Brazil, and South Afri…
Lessons From Learners
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many medical schools suspended clinical clerkships and implemented newly adapted curricula to facilitate continued educational progress. While the implementation of these new curricula has been described, an understanding of the impact on student learning outcomes is lacking. In 2020, the authors followed Kern’s 6-step approach to curricular development to create and evaluate a novel COVID-19 curriculum for m…
Mainstreaming climate adaptation into social protection
As the consequences of climate change become better understood, there is growing agreement among development practitioners and academics on the need for mainstreaming climate adaptation into social protection. This review paper assesses the progress in mainstreaming efforts, revealing that there has been considerable progress made to date. However, a number of critical issues relating to the challenges of such mainstreaming in the context of deve…
John Collins and the Double Horizontal Dial
On his admission to the Royal Society in 1667, John Collins presented to it, and described, an example of Henry Sutton's double horizontal dial with additions by himself. His description given on that occasion is here transcribed with some commentary both on the dial itself and on Collins’ involvement with it

The curriculum has an enduring focus on providing evidence-based, compassionate care while leveraging emerging skills in systems science and new methods of discovery. The Brid…
Curricular Approaches to Transgender Health in Physician Assistant Education
PURPOSE: According to the Williams Institute, 1.4 million U.S. adults identify as transgender. Many experience health care disparities. Professional organizations call for medical education to improve transgender care, but what curricula are being delivered is unknown. The goal of this study was to conduct the first comprehensive, national survey of transgender health care curricula in physician assistant (PA) education. METHOD: The authors sent …
Brexit
This paper estimates the effects of potential post-Brexit UK trade and domestic agricultural policy scenarios on the economic welfare (real income) of farm households, at both regional (devolved administrations) and national level. Results show that depending on the selected scenario, particularly the retention or elimination of direct payments as currently provided under Pillar 1 of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), the impact varies signifi…

Objectives Previously, we found that maximum ingested bite size (V b ), the largest piece of food an animal can consume without biting it into smaller pieces first, isometrically scales relative to body size in strepsirrhines and with negative allometry in anthropoids. In the current study, we rectify the omission of great apes from the earlier sample to now characterize the V b of the entire size‐range of the order. Materials and Methods Five go…
High-Expectations Relationships
Enacting high expectations for all students in the classroom is a complex undertaking. Underlying, out-of-awareness assumptions may lead to actions, behaviours or pedagogic choices that do not support these high expectations beliefs and intentions. For Indigenous education, this is compounded by public and professional discourses around deficit positioning, and by historical conditioning, where many Indigenous students do not see achieving in sch…
Time on a Tablet
This article offers the first comprehensive study of a newly discovered type of medieval sundial made of ivory which might well be the precursor of the well-known diptych dial form made from ivory and wood. These sundials are unique for the combination with a wax writing tablet (tabula cerata) on the reverse side, such as has been deployed as a reusable and portable writing surface in Antiquity and throughout the Middle Ages. Three previously unp…

Towards a Social Anthropology of the Mediterranean [and Comments and Reply]
Davis's People of the Mediterranean provides a detailed survey of the writings of anthropologists who have worked in Southern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Its author focuses on economic organization, stratification, patronage, family and kinship, and the way anthropologists have dealt with history. He concludes that they have failed to compare, to work in cities, to relate part to whole, and to make use of history. These failures, h…

Reflecting on Children and Young People's Participation in the UK
The article interrogates how children and young people's participation in public decision-making has been promoted in the UK. It considers critically the reasons typically (and persuasively) put forward for such participation, which can be categorized as: the promotion of children's rights; alignment with consumerism and service user involvement; enhancing democracy; and developing children's well-being and development. Each of these reasons can …

Reasons for Not Reporting Peak Experiences
Respondents reported on whether they had had a peak experience, how many people they had told, and the reasons they had not told more people. Out of 246 respondents, 79% reported having had a peak experience but most had told only a few people about it. The most common reasons respondents gave for not discussing a peak experience were that it was a special and intimate personal experience which they did not want to discuss, that they felt it migh…

Banfield's The Moral Basis of a Backward Society; the second is to restate, with particular reference to Southern Italy, some common principles of social organization and structure. The success of Banfield's book is attributable to a number of factors. The author has a high reputation in the discipline of political science. For a long time it was the only sociological book about …

The Borough Franchise after 1867
This article investigates the practical effects of the extension of the parliamentary franchise in 1867, examining the extent of enfranchisement in different types of borough and the reasons for the differences observed. An uneven pattern emerges, with registration law more open-ended in its application than has previously been claimed, but with the practical obstacles to enfranchisement reinforced by the inadequacy of the registration machinery.…
Blacks, Crime, and American Culture
Attempts to understand crime patterns among blacks in the United States have systematically failed to consider the impact of slavery and resultant racist policies on black self-esteem. This paper explores the thesis that cultural domination was fundamentally more damaging than economic domination to black self-esteem. The ruth less attacks on blacks and black culture, usually justified by legal interpretations by whites, destroyed their faith tha…

On Some of the Bearings of Ethnology Upon Archaeological Science
ETHNOLOGY may have been regarded as a series of fanciful, and, probably, futile inquiries, leading to no very definite ends; and the ethnologist, as a sort of harmless visionary, led hither and thither by trifling indications, and exciting more smiles than looks of satisfaction.In such a region, hypotheses have been very prolific, and the pertinacity of their inventors has usually been in the inverse ratio to the stability and the number of the f…
XXIII.— Some Account of Runic Calendars and ‘Staffordshire Clogg’ Almanacs
In proposing to give some notice of Staffordshire Clogg Almanacs, it will be fitting to begin with Dr. Robert Plot, the Natural Historian of the county. Not that I intend to follow him in his description of them, which is the fullest and best that has ever appeared. This would be unnecessary. But references and allusions to Plot must be frequent. That the Almanacs bore the name appropriating them to Staffordshire in his day, is evidenced by the t…

A Survey of the Problems of the Negro Under the New Deal
This session marks for us the beginning of three days of candid inventory of the position of the Negro in our national economic crisis. Even cursory analysis of the plight in which America's Negro population finds itself today will reveal this inventory to be a most necessary task. We have not met here to engage merely in academic discussion. The problem is too near to us for this. And, therefore, we face this task with the highly serious purpose…
Intelligence and Central Life Interests in Two Groups of Older Men
It was predicted that VA domiciliary members would differ from a comparable group of Senior Citizens with regard to psychological referents for two legal criteria used in selection of domiciliary members. Intelligence and pattern of central life interests were used as referents. When compared with the Senior Citizens group, the domiciliary members were lower in intelligence, more concerned with matters of physical self-maintenance and less concer…
Passatella
G AMES HAVE BEEN NEGLECTED by social anthropologists for reasons which are comprehensible but not compelling. It is clear that the manner in which games were written about in the early years of this century (e.g. Stevenson, 1903) is often a formidable obstacle to the understanding of them. And the accident that games were used as trace-elements in the reconstructions of diffusionists perhaps encouraged the tendency already apparent in the descrip…

The Particular Theory of Exchange
For the past half-century economic anthropologists have been trying to come to terms with the obvious, recognised, indisputable fact that non-industrial economies "feel different" from industrial ones. How to express and communicate that difference? Some people thought they could do it sociologically, preserving as much as possible offormal economic theory, explaining deviation by invoking social influence on universalrationality, allowing the po…
