Needs to connect to urban nature in female university students from Southern Germany
Mental health problems are a major global health concern today. Psychological well-being, such as mental health, can be improved through nature connectedness. Nature connectedness is a co-benefit of planetary health. However, access to nature, along with sufficient exposure to it, which promotes nature connectedness, is a challenge for urban inhabitants. Therefore, this study aims to identify the needs required to connect with urban nature. Betwe…
Becoming Horse in the Duration of the Moment
This article reflects on Stephen Smith’s influential 2011 phenomenological paper, Becoming Horse in the Duration of the Moment: The Trainer’s Challenge, through a retrospective dialogue between Smith and co-editor Andrew Foran for this Special Issue of Phenomenology & Practice. The discussion traces Foran’s initial skepticism toward the manuscript and the subsequent shift in understanding prompted by peer review and deeper engagement. Becoming Ho…
Environmental risk factors associated with community diarrheal disease in Ethiopia
Multiple environmental factors for diarrhea were identified. Given the variation in factors by site, strategies for intervention and management should be community-specific. These factors can be managed through improved water treatment, sanitation practices, and educational programs focused on proper hygiene. Efforts to manage these factors can potentially reduce the burden of diarrheal diseases
HIV Testing in African American Churches
To examine effects of a multilevel, religiously-tailored HIV testing intervention, Taking It to the Pews (TIPS), on receipt of HIV testing with African American church-affiliated populations, 14 African American churches (N = 1,491) were randomized to TIPS or a multilevel, non-tailored HIV education attention-control arm in a cluster-randomized trial (Kansas City urban area, 2013 to 2019). Receipt of an HIV test was examined using objective data …
Exploring the links between childhood emotional abuse and empathy
Workplace nomophobia
Nomophobia, or the fear of being without one’s smartphone, is a growing concern in workplaces around the world. This phenomenon affects both employee well-being and organizational productivity. Despite its prevalence, there is a notable lack of systematic reviews investigating nomophobia in workplace, as well as the factors that intensify or inhibit it in workplace settings. This paper bridges this gap by conducting a systematic literature review…
The Real Age of Newspapers
‘Well, I was here, in the pub.’ ‘Yes, but where in the pub?’ the interviewer persisted. (The italics are mine, as Hitch liked to say.) Where in the pub? Let's be kind and assume the presenter was trying to fill time. But in his witless question, I heard a batsqueak echo of one of Hitchens's best gags. He once began a piece about the Cuban Missile Crisis by saying that he could remember exactly where he was and what he was doing when JFK nearly ki…
Transitioning an In-Person Survey of Older Adults to Multimode Data Collection
Objectives The first 3 rounds of the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (NSHAP) were in-person. Preparing for Round Four (R4), NSHAP began developing ways to collect complex questionnaire and biomeasure data remotely. R4 was scheduled to begin in 2020, but due to the coronavirus pandemic, NSHAP delayed R4 data collection and instead conducted a study on respondents’ experiences during the pandemic, as well as pretests to strengthen N…
Systematic Review of Explicit Instruments Measuring Nature Connectedness
This systematic review assesses the methodological quality of manuscripts focusing on scales that explicitly measure nature connectedness. A literature search in six electronic databases was conducted using a search strategy based on PICO guidelines. Only peer-reviewed primary research available in English language, published between 2000 and 2021, meeting the scope of this review were included. Data from 35 studies were narratively analyzed. The…
Parapsychology, Hallucinations, Collective Delusions, and Jesus’ Post-Resurrection Appearances
After a brief outline of Glenn Siniscalchi’s apology for the traditional approach to the post-resurrection appearances, I examine his particular view that any attempt to compare the appearances of Jesus with the various apparitions discussed by parapsychologists is doomed to failure. Siniscalchi states, correctly, that the only category of apparitions worthy of consideration at all is the ‘post-mortem apparition’. However, some of the suggested d…
Using focus groups to inform a brief video intervention to reduce public stigma toward Black youth living with psychosis
Meaningful and empowering involvement of individuals with lived experience of psychosis is essential to create stigma reducing interventions. Input from Black youth living with psychosis assisted in developing a culturally tailored brief video-based intervention to reduce public stigma toward Black youth with psychosis that included information about the protagonist's experience of race and mental illness, specifically family, religious, and comm…

An mHealth voice messaging intervention to improve infant and young child feeding practices in Senegal
Mobile health (mHealth) interventions have the potential to improve infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices; however, gaps in the literature remain regarding their design, implementation, and effectiveness. The aims of this study were to design an mHealth voice messaging intervention delivered to mothers and fathers targeting IYCF practices and examine its implementation and impact in households with children 6-23 months in three rural vi…

Why Tourists Choose Airbnb
Airbnb has grown very rapidly over the past several years, with millions of tourists having used the service. The purpose of this study was to investigate tourists’ motivations for using Airbnb and to segment them accordingly. The study involved an online survey completed in 2015 by more than 800 tourists who had stayed in Airbnb accommodation during the previous 12 months. Aggregate results indicated that respondents were most strongly attracted…

Comienza con un bosquejo de ciertas tendencias interpretativas que han tenido influencia en la historiografía reciente y luego rastrea algunos de los temas que han atraído el…
A sense of place
The perspective of ‘place’ has emerged as important one in many realms of scholarship and professional practice. Ironically, though, tourism – in which place is a central concept – has paid little attention to the concept. This paper explores the importance of place in the context of tourism product development and marketing, particularly the linkage between place and culture as a tourism experience. The linkage can be understood through an analo…

Becoming Horse in the Duration of the Moment
Language skirts the somatic fringes of the moment, particularly in practices where the powers of human speech and writing seem nullified. Horse training is one such practice. We tell stories of horse training that sensitize us and bring us close to creatures whose movements, resonating with our own, connect us to a prelinguistic, animate world. In so doing, we bridge the gap between the reflective detachment of our customary, wordy practices and …

Value Added Tax
This book, by Alan A. Tait, is an examination of VAT. It looks at problems and theoretical options and potential impacts, as well as detailing the practical aspects of implementing new tax structures. The author advances arguments for and against alternative policies and illustrates his study with international examples from Europe, Latin America, Asia, and the Pacific. He suggests that countries can learn from each other's experiencees with VAT
Using Nonmedically Trained Interviewers to Collect Biomeasures in a National In-home Survey
A key operational component of the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (NSHAP) is the use of nonmedically trained interviewers to collect biomeasures in a national in-home survey of health and aging. Few studies have integrated in-home biomeasure collection using nonmedically trained interviewers on a large scale. In this article, the authors discuss their approach to using nonmedically trained interviewers to collect biomeasures in t…
The effect of recreation supply on participation
A recurring theme in outdoor recreation research is the need to develop models to forecast future use levels of facilities. Most aggregate demand models relate use to socioeconomic characteristics of potential user populations. The models are usually calibrated with actual participation data without considering the effect of supply on participation. A weakness in these is that observed use levels are not just the result of demand but also of supp…

From blatant to latent protest (and back again)
This paper explores ambiguities of political resistance and anti-war protest in Madonna's music video, 'American Life'. We begin by tracing the history of the making, promotion and eventual withdrawal of the video in the context of the military build-up and media campaign that preceded the American invasion of Iraq in 2003. In these opening sections, we focus in particular on the (perhaps deliberately generated) controversy surrounding the work, …

Implicit and Explicit Social Policy in the Czech and Slovak Personal Tax Systems
We show that the old Czechoslovak personal tax system was opaque, inequitable and neg lected adverse incentive effects, because in large part it was being used as an instrument of social policy to encourage family formation, growth and support. We also show that because the old system's distribution effects can be generated by a simple linear tax system, its extraordinary complexity was entirely unnecessary. An analysis of the new direct tax syst…

Excise Duties and the Internal Market
As part of the programme to create a single Community market by 1992, the European Commission has brought forward proposals which would require substantial changes in the excise duties levied on mineral oils, tobacco products and alcoholic drinks. This article considers the arguments for harmonization of the system and levels of excise duties within the Internal Market of the Community.

The Role of Jesus' Opponents in the Markan Drama
Discussions on the possibility that Mark's Gospel may have been modelled, either consciously or subconsciously, on Greek tragic drama have gathered momentum in recent years. It has also been shown that a most important feature of Greek tragedy is the repetitive device of ‘foreshadowing’, a technique which has rightly been seen as essential to the development of mnemonic structures in oral epic. The use of this device in the Bible, it may be argue…

Fiscal systems in transition
TAX REFORM has been a major priority of microeconomic policy during the process of economic transition in Central and Eastern Europe. In the Czech Republic, a fundamental restructuring of the tax system took place from the start of 1993, introducing a tax system broadly in conformity with taxation practice in Western Europe. The new system includes personal and corporate income taxes, a value added tax of the type operated by EU member states, an…

The Function of the Son of David Tradition in Mark's Gospel
How significant is the Son of David tradition for Mark? At first blush the answer to that question would seem to be: not very significant at all. The title ‘Son of Man’ is, after all, far more frequent, and can be applied to Jesus in no fewer than three guises his earthly authority (Mark 2.10, 28), his suffering servanthood (8.31; 9.9, 12, 31; 10.33–4, 45), and his apocalyptic glory (8.38; 13.26; 14.21, 41, 62). 1 The term ‘Son of God’, while use…

These scholars focus on the various Renaissance authors they consider, not contemporary theories or schools that might seem to offer tot…
