Examining emotion regulation using a distraction and reappraisal task in children and adolescents with and without ADHD
Wicked from the Start
Climate change is a wicked problem, defying simple resolution. Education in various forms and at various levels has sought to improve understanding and stimulate climate change action in young people. There exists, however, a certain wickedness in education systems as well that makes climate change education difficult to enact successfully. These include an unsupportive education environment where academic standards related to climate change are …
Feasibility, Acceptability, and Preliminary Efficacy of a Gamified Mobile Health Contingency Management Intervention for PrEP Adherence Among Black MSM
Lessons Learned in Centering Youth Voices in HIV Prevention
Our three study phases included six AHWG meetings from 2019 to 2020, youth-only meetings guided by a participatory engagement framework (Youth Generate and Organize), and interviews (n=13) and surveys with youth in the community (N=87). We also developed materials such as an AHWG mission statement, a list of themes and informational needs, and documented strategies about pivoting the project during the onset of the COVID-19 global pandemic.Lesson…
Awareness and acceptability of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among students at two historically Black universities (HBCU)
African American HBCU students are becoming aware of PrEP, and generally perceive the intervention as acceptable and worth consideration
Using Participatory Methods to Assess PrEP Interest and Uptake Among Young People Living in the Southeastern US

GIS professional development for teachers
University faculty partners from the Departments of Geography and Instruction and Teacher Education at a large, public university collaborated with K-12 teachers and the leadership of a rural school district in order to investigate the crosscutting content of science, mathematics, and geography through the integration of web-based GIS technologies. The project explored the critical connections among technology, pedagogy, and content with a partic…
Pre-service teachers learn to teach geography
How to improve geography education via teacher preparation programs has been a concern for nearly three decades, but few examples of a single, comprehensive university-level course exist. The purpose of this article is to share the model of a pre-service geography education methods course. Within the course, geography content (physical and social) is paired with different pedagogic strategies (visual, kinesthetic, technology) and other content ar…
Hurricane Katrina and the Forgotten Coast of Mississippi
Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast in August 2005 with devastating consequences. Almost all analyses of the disaster have been dedicated to the way the hurricane affected New Orleans. This volume examines the impact of Katrina on southern Mississippi. While communities along Mississippi's Gulf Coast shared the impact, their socioeconomic and demographic compositions varied widely, leading to different types and rates of recovery. This …
Evaluating post‐Katrina recovery in Mississippi using repeat photography
Hurricane Katrina of August 2005 had extensive consequences for the state of Mississippi in the United States. Widespread infrastructure and property damage, massive social dislocation, and ecological loss remain among the many challenges faced by communities as they work towards ‘normalcy’. This study employs repeat photography to understand differential recovery from Hurricane Katrina in Mississippi. Revealing change with conventional landscape…
Contesting Pisco
This article examines the geography of pisco, a South American brandy claimed as the national drink of both Peru and Chile. The historic tension between these two nations—based notably on the nineteenth‐century War of the Pacific—is used as a backdrop to understanding the cultural and political contestation over the "ownership" of this beverage. Although both countries see exportation of pisco as a means of agricultural development, much of the a…
Using Building Permits to Monitor Disaster Recovery
The pace of disaster recovery varies considerably from one place to another. Even when places suffer impacts from the same event, recovery studies often lack the spatial and temporal resolution to fully understand such local variability in the recovery process and patterns. This paper discusses the novel use of building permits and a spatial scan statistic to identify the spatial and temporal dimensions of recovery in coastal Mississippi followin…

Conflicting threat perceptions at a rural agricultural fair
Evolution and Devolution
The United Kingdom is a state of unions. It evolved through a series of diverse unions, each leaving an institutional legacy. Though the United Kingdom was highly centralized it was not uniform. Devolution is rooted in this legacy. Past institutional arrangements, notably central government departments responsible for Scottish, Welsh, and Northern Ireland affairs (collectively known as “administrative devolution”) remain central to how UK politic…
The hazards of one's faith
Hazards take place in multiple contexts, contributing to the decisions we make in the face of a threat. Religious belief is considered an important contextual factor in how people understand and respond to environmental hazards. The objective of this paper is to examine one aspect of religious affiliation, biblical orientation, for its influence on the perception of hazard events. Using a survey of individual Christian clergy in South Carolina, t…
Revealing the Vulnerability of People and Places
Losses from environmental hazards have escalated in the past decade, prompting a reorientation of emergency management systems away from simple postevent response. There is a noticeable change in policy, with more emphasis on loss reduction through mitigation, preparedness, and recovery programs. Effective mitigation of losses from hazards requires hazard identification, an assessment of all the hazards likely to affect a given place, and risk-re…
Can Hazard Risk be Communicated through a Virtual Experience
Cyberspace, defined by William Gibson as a consensual hallucination, now refers to all computer-generated interactive environments. Virtual reality, one of a class of interactive cyberspaces, allows us to create and interact directly with objects not available in the everyday world. Despite successes in the entertainment and aviation industries, this technology has been called a 'solution in search of a problem'. The purpose of this commentary is…
Explaining Labor's Win at the 1993 Australian Federal Election
This paper investigates Labor's victory at the 1993 Australian Federal election. In the aftermath of the election a variety of explanations emerged endeavoring to account for the result. From these explanations factors claimed as important are investigated for their influence on vote choice and importantly their contribution to the parties' shares of the vote. Confirming aspects of some of the explanations, the factors which gave the ALP the grea…
Anticipated Responses to Short-Term Sensory Deprivation
21 Ss were initially tested for discomfort (Somatic Symptom Check List) and anxiety (Affect Adjective Check List) and then viewed a sensory deprivation (SD) Laboratory and given standard SD instructions. Subsequent to viewing the laboratory, Ss were asked to complete the anxiety and discomfort scales as if they had actually undergone 3 hr. of SD. As hypothesized, anticipation scores on scales were significantly higher for both sexes following exp…
