Jean-Luc Nancy, Derrida, Supplements
In his prologue to Derrida, Supplements, Jean-Luc Nancy writes that the texts collected here 'are not studies or commentaries or interpretations of Derrida's thought.Instead, I think of them as responses to his presence' (1).In the sixteen essays that follow, many of which appear here in English translation for the first time, Nancy welcomes the reader to almost thirty years of such responses to, reflections on, and engagements with his longtime …
Jesus and the Genome
Is a coherent worldview that embraces both classical Christology and modern evolutionary biology possible? This volume explores this fundamental question through an engaged inquiry into key topics, including the Incarnation, the process of evolution, modes of divine action, the nature of rationality, morality, chance and love, and even the meaning of life. Grounded alike in the history and philosophy of science, Christian theology, and the scient…

Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in Hawaii
OBJECTIVE: To examine the major sources of vitamin D [25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D)] and evaluate their collective role on rates of vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency among older adults. METHODS: Cross-sectional analysis of the relationship between serum 25(OH)D levels and sources of vitamin D (self-reported and objectively validated sun exposure, supplementation, food including fortified sources). Study subjects were part of the Hawaii Longitudi…

Purpose in life in emerging adulthood
Accruing evidence points to the value of studying purpose in life across adolescence and emerging adulthood. Research though is needed to understand the unique role of purpose in life in predicting well-being and developmentally relevant outcomes during emerging adulthood. The current studies (total n = 669) found support for the development of a new brief measure of purpose in life using data from American and Canadian samples, while demonstrati…

Body Dissatisfaction and Patterns of Media Use Among Preadolescent Children
This study examined school‐age children's satisfaction/dissatisfaction with their body sizes and their media consumption and image perception patterns. A sample of preadolescent children at the ages between 8 and 11 (N = 50) was recruited for in‐depth individual interviews from a university‐sponsored child care facility in a mid‐Atlantic state. Results suggested that boys and girls were significantly different in their ideal body preferences. Sim…
Validity of the Body Mass Index Silhouette Matching Test
The BMI-SMT is a valid measure of body image perceptions and estimates of weight and BMI
Body-Image Perceptions
The BMI-SMT technique provided reliable information to help community and individual-based programs track and measure body-image perception data among individuals and populations
Fostering Students' Statistical and Scientific Thinking
Current research and theory indicate that college students' scientific and statistical reasoning skills are deficient, but can be improved through instruction. Accordingly, an innovative statistics course was developed for the undergraduate education curriculum at the University of Wisconsin—Madison. The course promoted the idea “that the purpose of statistics is to organize a useful argument from quantitative evidence based on a form of principl…
Issues in Rural Health Programming
The purpose of this conceptual paper is to review select issues associated with rural health programs that have a number of satellite sites (periphery) coordinated through a primary supervisory body (center). The paper provides suggestions for fostering more effective programming to rural populations and generating further dialogue about center‐periphery issues from diverse perspectives. Based on literature and interviews with four rural health p…
Skills to Enhance Problem-based Learning
Problem-based Learning (PBL) has become a popular method of instruction among educators in the health professions. Central to the effectiveness of PBL is the ability of students to work together to solve problems. When these abilities are lacking, PBL outcomes can be compromised. Since these skills have not been emphasized in public school or higher education, students are often forced to muddle through group processes in the effort to learn. The…
