Love and the Distance: The Role of Presence in Online Learning
The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a shift to online teaching and learning, prompting concerns about maintaining teacher and student presence in virtual classrooms. Holistic education, emphasizing love, care, and interconnectedness, faces challenges in the digital realm. Holistic educators explore online behaviours, environments, and tools fostering deep presence. Four post-secondary educators were interviewed, revealing a focus on managing emoti…
“You Don’t Want to Feel Poor All the Time”: What SNAP Means to Low-Income Philadelphia Residents
Through participant observation while grocery shopping, and 37 in-depth interviews with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients, we describe the social meanings of SNAP dollars to low-income Philadelphia residents. We make three contributions to the study of food insecurity and SNAP. First, we confirm the literature showing that SNAP covers less than half of a monthly food budget. Second, we apply the “social meaning of money”…
Dimorphism in dental tissues: Sex differences in archaeological individuals for multiple tooth types
OBJECTIVES: Dimorphism in the dentition has been observed in human populations worldwide. However, research has largely focused on traditional linear crown measurements. As imaging systems, such as micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), become increasingly more accessible, new dental measurements such as dental tissue size and proportions can be obtained. This research investigates the variation of dental tissues and proportions by sex in archaeol…

The Politics of Scarcity and Barriers to Effective Anti-Hunger Advocacy in Philadelphia
Philadelphia is the poorest, large city in the United States, with approximately 26% of the population living below the poverty line. Consequently, the city also has some of the highest rates of food insecurity across the nation. To address this need, Philadelphia has a robust anti-hunger community that fills the gap where government programs prove insufficient. Nevertheless, the anti-hunger community has been limited in its ability to effectivel…
The Neandertals of northeastern Iberia: New remains from the Cova del Gegant (Sitges, Barcelona)
Exploring the relationship between dental wear and status in late medieval subadults from England
Dental wear patterns were recorded on 458 deciduous molar teeth, of 142 subadults from late medieval (AD 1086–1539) England, to explore the relationship between dental wear and burial status of children. A new ordinal method for scoring dental wear stages on the deciduous molar teeth was devised. It was postulated that if a discernible relationship between dental wear stage and burial location could be seen then this could reflect a difference in…

Interaction Ritual Chains and the Mobilization of Conscientious Consumers
The Social Dynamics and Durability of Moral Boundaries 1
Moral boundaries are often conceptualized as an expression of an individual’s identity or belief system. However, social forces greatly influence how and when consumers activate moral boundaries. Utilizing a dramaturgical perspective, this article shows that the activation of moral boundaries is largely determined by an individual’s position in the market (role), the discourse he or she is expected to perform (scripts), and the individuals with w…
Doing Disability: Disability Formations in the Search for Work
Disability theorists have spent much time discussing howdisabilityis defined. The theoretical roots for these debates reside in the medical, structural, and minority models of disability. The medical model views disability as equivalent to a functional impairment; the minority model sees a lack of equal rights as a primary impediment to social equality between able and disabled populations; and the structural model looks to environmental factors …
Biomechanical implications of degenerative joint disease in the apophyseal joints of human thoracic and lumbar vertebrae
An experimental technique for quantifying load‐sharing in cadaveric spines is used to test the hypothesis that degenerative changes in human apophyseal joints are directly related to high levels of compressive load‐bearing by these joints. About 36 cadaveric thoraco‐lumbar motion segments aged 64–92 years were subjected to a compressive load of 1.5 kN. The distribution of compressive stress was measured in the intervertebral discs using a miniatu…
Focus Groups and Methodological Reflections: Conscientious Flexibility in the Field
This article discusses the methodological issues and pragmatic dilemmas confronted by a group of researchers conducting focus groups composed of people with disabilities. As an initial component of a mixed-method, longitudinal research project, the intention was to gather perceptions of the ways in which recent policy initiatives shape the lives and employment experiences of people with disabilities. We present the methodological design issues we…

The utility of minimal CT scanning in the study of two Egyptian mummy heads
The remains of two Egyptian mummies from the New Kingdom site of Qurnah were investigated using computer tomography. Two scout views and two CT slices were studied for each specimen. General descriptions of the specimens were drawn from these images. Standard anthropometric measurements were taken from the CT scans and compared with a sample data set describing skeletal material from the same site. One specimen was found to be typical of males fr…

An Alternative Approach to Cognition in the Lower Palaeolithic: The Modular View
Recent literature has attempted to infer aspects of ‘mind’ from early tool production. It is suggested here that adoption of the modular view of cognition could provide an alternative and complementary approach to that which makes use of Piagetian developmental theory. The modular view, which is concerned with multiple intelligences, permits emphasis on the multiplicity of distinct features involved in spatial cognitive competence, and may provid…
