Bridging the gaps
PURPOSE: Recovery community centers (RCCs) offer a range of non-clinical services for individuals in recovery from substance use disorder (SUD). RCCs may play an important role in addressing rural service gaps. This study aims to increase our understanding of how rural RCCs address SUD, including how they serve individuals receiving medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). METHODS: We conducted a mixed methods study consisting of pre-interview…
Afro–Puerto Ricans and the Tuskegee Experience
The first Puerto Rican students arrived at the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute between 1898 and 1915. The institute emerged as a space where the students participated in a process of cultural exchange. The United States’ intervention in Puerto Rico offered Afro–Puerto Ricans opportunities that were denied them under the Spanish caste system. Tuskegee’s principal, Booker T. Washington, believed that he had a solution to Puerto Rico’s “rac…
The Romantic-Virtuosic Sentence in Liszt’s B Minor Sonata, or, Positive Feedback as Formal Accelerator
The classical sentence (Schoenberg’s ‘Satz’), or ‘Bar form’ (Alfred Lorenz), have long been discussed in music theoretic terms. Existing studies of the sentence in Romantic music have focused on the music of Wagner or Liszt’s symphonic poems, but study of Liszt’s pianism is perhaps even more revealing because it allows us to consider the sentence in energetic terms as a formal accelerator, a coefficient of Liszt’s virtuosity. To appreciate the ex…
The wages of peer recovery workers
Peer-based recovery support services are evidence-based practices used to achieve long-term recovery.Fundamental to these services are peer recovery workers, who use their lived experience of longterm recovery to form trusting, supportive relationships with individuals initiating self-directed journeys to mental health or substance use recovery.However, peer recovery workers report low salaries and workplace environments that cause unnecessary st…
Social Work Students Explore the Grand Challenge of Technology with Field Educators
One goal of the Social Work Grand Challenge is to positively influence the applications of technology. Nowhere is the challenge of integrating innovative technology more apparent than in field education settings. However, current technology trends, challenges, as well as interns’ use of technology, which is often used in field education settings, particularly after the major shift to virtual platforms due to the COVID-19 Global Pandemic, are not …
Music in Radio Drama
This article explores music’s role in radio drama. While musical aspects of early experimental radio dramas have often been explored, the music that figures in the Anglo-American radio play tradition has remained under-theorized. Borrowing interpretative tools from audiovisual discourses can help to elucidate some of the subtleties of the medium, but methodological inadequacies soon become apparent. As exemplars of modern radio dramatic technique…
Perspectivism
Perspectivism: A Contribution to the Philosophy of the Social Sciences advances the philosophy of perspectivism, showing how its capacity to assess competing views of a particular concept by approaching them as different ‘sides’ of a multi-dimensional object supports a concept of ‘adequate’ rather than ‘absolute’ truth. Presenting four case studies – of the social scientific concepts of power, equality, crime, and sex and gender – Smith demonstra…
The Association Between Area Deprivation Index and Patient-Reported Outcomes in Patients with Advanced Cancer
Background: This analysis describes associations between area deprivation and patient-reported outcomes among patients with advanced cancer. Methods: This is a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from a multisite primary palliative care intervention trial. Participants were adult patients with advanced cancer. Patient-level area deprivation scores were calculated using the Area Deprivation Index (ADI). Quality of life and symptom burden wer…
Karl Marx, Le Capital
This paper discusses the first French edition of Capital volume 1, revised by Marx, analyzed by Kevin Anderson (1983) in this journal and subsequent work, and partially incorporated into the new German edition by Thomas Kuczynski (2017), based largely on the second German edition. We argue that both Marx and Anderson are too generous (and Engels too negative) in their respective assessments of the translation and that it has found its appropriate…
The Routledge Companion to Popular Music Analysis
In this chapter, the author begins with a discussion of different notions of metre, and clarifies how she use the term, and offers a brief presentation of the theory of entrainment and dynamic attending, before turning to her musical examples. She focuses on the analysis of extended beats, or so-called "beat bin metre," in contemporary groove-based music. The process of perceptually tuning into the clustered beats in "1000 Deaths," that is, heari…

A Focus Group Study Observing Maternal Intention to Use a WIC Education App
Objective In this study, we sought to determine technology acceptance of a mobile application (app) to facilitate healthy behaviors as perceived by English- and Spanish-speaking participants of the Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). Methods Our sample was 48 mothers (78% Hispanic-American) at WIC clinics in south-central Texas. Through 6 focus groups, we explored user intention of a wireframe app prototype. Dis…
Discrimination
The concept of “discrimination” is quite difficult to define. This is because discriminations can (a) sometimes be an okay thing to do (it is not always wrong to discriminate) and because (b) discrimination must always be distinguished from mere or simple disadvantage. To count as discrimination, however, we normally mean that someone is behaving in a way that is immoral. Direct discrimination is distinguished from so‐called indirect discriminati…
Capitalism
A necessary preliminary step toward defining the concept of “capitalism” is to define the concept of “capital.” This said, it is surprising how often this preliminary step is not taken. This entry gives a brief account of what is meant by the term “capital” before going on to say what is meant by the concept “capitalism.” In order to do this, both Marxist and Weberian perspectives on this question are considered. The entry then considers other wr…
White‐Collar Crime
The concept of a white‐collar worker derives from sociology rather than criminology. In sociology a white‐collar worker is, generally speaking, a relatively low status clerical or administrative employee. The concept of white‐collar crime within criminology derives from the work of the pioneering criminologist Edwin Sutherland. It is argued that Sutherland's use of the term “white‐collar crime” is somewhat at odds with the use of the term “white‐…
Management, Managerial Revolution, Taylorism
The term “managerialism” is today commonly associated with the work of James Burnham (1905–1987) and in particular with his 1941 book, The Managerial Revolution . However, the lineage of this idea goes back much further than this and probably dates from the time and motion studies of Frederick Taylor (1856–1915). Important here too is the very influential book, The Modern Corporation and Private Property (1932), by Adolf Berle and Gardiner Mean a…
Utopianism
The term “utopia,” or “utopianism,” now widely used to describe a society which cannot possibly exist, was created by Sir Thomas More in 1516 and given by him as the title of his book of the same name. More recently this term has been associated with the attempt to create new model societies, especially during the period of the Industrial Revolution. Sometimes used to describe an ideal society, such attempts were roundly condemned as lacking any …

The discovery of surplus value
This essay claims to discover the point at which Marx worked out his theory of surplus value sometime during the 10-year period between 1857 and the publication of Capital Vol. I in 1867. This, it is claimed, was due to his reading of a well-known pamphlet by an English Oxford University professor of political economy, Nassau W. Senior. Senior had claimed that capitalist manufacturers made all of their profit during the last hour of the then norm…
User-centered Design of a Texas WIC App
The enthusiasm of focus group participants for a comprehensive WIC app suggests that this initiative is timely, and that an app has potential to improve health behaviors. Future research should continue the user-centered design process through further evaluation of prototype features, incorporating cultural preferences at every step
Filling the Data Gaps in Mountain Climate Observatories Through Advanced Technology, Refined Instrument Siting, and a Focus on Gradients
The mountain research community is still contending with the need to monitor ecosystems, both to improve local management practices and to address regional and global science questions related to the Future Earth themes of Dynamic Planet, Global Sustainable Development, and Transformations Towards Sustainability. How such efforts may be designed and coordinated remains an open question. Historical climate and ecological observatories and networks…
Massachusetts Health Reform Cost Less and Was More Effective for Uninsured Individuals With Venous Thromboembolism
BACKGROUND: Patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) require access to comprehensive physician and pharmacy benefits to prevent recurrence and hemorrhage. Before 2006, Massachusetts provided these benefits through a program restricted to safety net hospitals called Free Care. Providing portable health insurance through Massachusetts health reform could improve outcomes for uninsured with VTE but its cost-effectiveness is unknown. METHODS AND RE…

Transfer and the commodification of practice
This dissertation engages in a close reading of the research in composition on transfer, a concept that refers to how the practices learned in one situation influence what a person can do in a future situation. In the studies that have appeared over the last two decades, the results have indicated that not much transfers between writing courses and future contexts, whether they be disciplinary courses or professional workplaces. Yet, despite the …
The Malthusian Controversy
This book, first published in 1951, focuses on the hitherto ignored contemporary critics of Malthus, giving them the attention they so rightly deserve. Dr Smith traces the Malthusian controversy step by step, from 1798, the date of the First Essay, to the death of Malthus in 1834. Investigating the precursors of Malthus and the genesis of the Malthusian Theory of Population, the book subjects the theory to a searching analysis in the light of not…
The Malthusian Controversy
Mutually Contested Concepts and Their Standard General Use
In this essay I claim to find within W.B. Gallie's deservedly well-known discussion of 'essentially contested concepts' at least two other closely related concepts, which Gallie himself called 'mutually contested concepts' and their widely agreed upon 'standard general use'. I argue that these two concepts together provide us with the 'space' to develop a rival argument to Gallie's idea of essentially contested concepts. The essence of this rival…
A Science of Tonal Love'? Drive and Desire in Twentieth-Century Harmony
Leonid Sabaneyev attested that Skryabin's compositions contained within them 'a science of tonal love', and Skryabin himself described his two Op. 57 pieces -Désir and Caresse dansée- as 'new ways of making love'. But what makes this music so erotic in nature? The composer theorised about the nature of desire and sexuality in his writings, but this discussion rarely spills over into analysis of his compositional system. Given that Skryabin was so…
Some Critical Observations on the Use of the Concept of 'Ethnicity' in Modood et al., Ethnic Minorities in Britain
Dans cet article, l'A. entreprend une critique du concept d'ethnicite et de groupe ethnique tels que definis par Modood et al. dans l'ouvrage Ethnic Minorities in Britain. L'A. denonce ici une racialisation de ces termes du fait de l'amalgame realise entre apparence physique et caracteristique ethnique. De plus, l'A. souligne que le concept de statut de groupe theorise par Weber est particulierement adapte a l'etat actuel des minorites etniques e…

Flipping burgers or flipping pages? Student employment and academic attainment in post-Soviet Latvia
Latvian higher education has undergone a dramatic transition since 1991. This study employs a survey of nearly 1000 social science students studying in 13 different institutions in Latvia to consider the impact of the increase in the number of students who are working while studying. Evidence indicates employment has a strong and significant negative impact on school performance, and the negative impact increases as weekly hours worked increase. …

Some observations on modern malthusianism
It is frequently stated that the doctrines of Malthus may be applied to certain areas of the world to-day, and there has been anxiety lest the rate of increase of the population of the world will lead to an exhaustion of food supplies. The author examines the Malthusian doctrine in its contemporary setting, and gives his reasons for believing that the imminence of this danger is much exaggerated
