Rapid adaptive modelling for policy support towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals
Sustainable use of land is central to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). However, implementation of policy targeting SDG delivery can be driven off track by external factors. There is a pressing need for rapid, adaptable modelling approaches to support policy development against a background of dynamic changes in environmental and political conditions. An example is the imminent departure of the UK from the EU (Brex…
Duration of Bisphosphonate Drug Holidays and Associated Fracture Risk
BACKGROUND: Discontinuation of bisphosphonates (BP) or a "drug holiday" after several years of treatment is increasingly common. However, the association of drug holiday duration with future fracture risk is unclear. OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the rate of fracture in relation to various lengths of drug holidays among women receiving long-term BP therapy. RESEARCH DESIGN: Observational cohort study using US Medicare data 2006-2016. Incidence rates (…
A Summary Catalogue of Microbial Drinking Water Tests for Low and Medium Resource Settings
Microbial drinking-water quality testing plays an essential role in measures to protect public health. However, such testing remains a significant challenge where resources are limited. With a wide variety of tests available, researchers and practitioners have expressed difficulties in selecting the most appropriate test(s) for a particular budget, application and setting. To assist the selection process we identified the characteristics associat…
Experiences of Soul-minded Educators
The best education develops the personality of the student. In contemporary mass education systems, the dimension of soul is often omitted in our view of a student s personality. This book, Reimagining Education: Essays on Reviving the Soul of Learning, is a collection of thoughtful and thought-provoking writings that speak of the damage done from this omission and explores the means for the soul’s return to our pedagogic practices. The education…
The Feeling Function and Education
There are two countering forces that have historically proven an anathema to the individuated personality as educator: First, the historical one-sided embrace of logos as all important in the learning process, and second, the tendency to systematize education into mass-minded institutions. The best intentions of educators are sorely tested by these two forces and need to be considered in any broad reclaiming of the feeling function. Responding to…
The Effect of Uncertainty in Exposure Estimation on the Exposure-Response Relation between 1,3-Butadiene and Leukemia
In a follow-up study of mortality among North American synthetic rubber industry workers, cumulative exposure to 1,3-butadiene was positively associated with leukemia. Problems with historical exposure estimation, however, may have distorted the association. To evaluate the impact of potential inaccuracies in exposure estimation, we conducted uncertainty analyses of the relation between cumulative exposure to butadiene and leukemia. We created th…

How much do you know about Latin America
In the light of concerns expressed over regional geography and global knowledge, a questionnaire designed to test factual knowledge and awareness of Latin America was administered to several groups at Portsmouth Polytechnic, including incoming first‐year students and academic staff. Analysis of the resulting data reveals some surprising results and suggests wider implications including a global educational role for geography
Human Rights and Foreign Policy
This article has two purposes. First, it attempts to establish the bases for legitimate state interference and possibly intervention in the internal affairs of another state to promote basic human rights. Second, it will test the utility of this argument by applying it to a consideration of Canadian policies related to South Africa and to development assistance. We will first define and defend the concept of basic human rights. We will then consi…
Abuse of Inhalants
188 inhalant users, 157 heavy polydrug users, and 157 light polydrug users were interviewed concerning their reasons for drug abuse and the consequences they saw. Inhalant users were consistently more negatively affected by drug abuse and more strongly motivated toward drug abuse. The negative effects included factors of personal behavior, interpersonal adjustment, impulsivity, bad and distal consequences, and general drug-related trouble. Motiva…
