Active surveillance and trajectories of decision-making among patients with low-risk prostate cancer
Objectives Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in the United States. This study examines factors associated with active surveillance (AS) uptake, timing of treatment decision making, and whether timing affects quality of life. Methods We used data from a population-based observational study of 512 patients aged 40–79 diagnosed with low-risk prostate cancer from 2016 to 2022. Factors associated with AS receipt and treatment decisio…
Collective Acoustics in Pan
The evolution of human musicality has attracted immense and intense cross‐disciplinary research attention. However, despite widespread interest, there has been surprisingly little explicit focus on the conserved roots and evolutionary precursors of musicality in our closest relatives, chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ) and bonobos ( P. paniscus ). We here aim to evaluate the extant literature on chimpanzees and bonobos in behavioral contexts relevan…
Evolutions in hegemonic discourses of climate change
We analyze public media talk that illustrate Norgaard’s spectrum of climate denial discourse. While these are theorized by Norgaard, our analysis of specific instances of media talk examines how speakers enact this spectrum of discourses to justify delay of immediate action on climate change. The analysis suggests there is an evolving public talk on climate where overt denial of climate science is increasingly seen at the political extreme and th…
Testing the effect of oxytocin on social grooming in bonobos
Oxytocin has attracted research attention due to its role in promoting social bonding. In bonobos and chimpanzees, the two species most closely related to humans, urinary oxytocin is known to correlate with key behaviours related to social bonding such as social grooming in chimpanzees and female‐female sexual behaviour in bonobos. However, no study has demonstrated that the administration of oxytocin promotes real‐life social interactions in Pan…
Unlearning and consent in the UK Fire and Rescue Service
Why does so much literature on unlearning ignore the people who do the unlearning? What would we understand differently if we focused on those people? Much of the existing literature argues that unlearning can only be achieved, and new knowledge acquired, if old knowledge is discarded: the clean slate approach. This might be a reasonable way of organising stock in a warehouse, where room needs to be created for new deliveries, but it is not an ac…

Rethinking Situated Learning
Legitimate peripheral participation is the bedrock of situated learning. It involves the novice or newcomer acquiring skills through work in a community of practice (CoP). It is generally assumed that CoP learning involves novices moving in a centripetal manner from periphery to core, gaining skills and knowledge from established workers before becoming full members of the community. This article draws on qualitative research in Northern Fire, on…
The Southwest
Few traveling between Santa Fe, New Mexico, and the Rio Grande valley realize that they are traversing one of the most significant American Indian migration and settlement corridors in the Southwest, a well-watered and fertile floodplain that served to link peoples of the southern Rocky Mountains and the San Juan River to those of the Jemez range and Sangre de Cristo Mountains, and the Rio Grande, across some 300 miles. This chapter gives an over…
Developing Social Justice Competencies
The social science and education fields are increasingly looking to non-traditional pedagogical methods as a way to increase students’ awareness of social justice issues. Critical inquiry projects, human rights education, and service learning models are some of the theoretically grounded approaches that advocate for novel ways of increasing social justice awareness in education. In this article, we propose a model of social justice consultation t…

Crime Compensation Programs an Opinion Survey of Program Administrators
Compensating Victims of Crime
In 1963 and 1964, New Zealand and Great Britain adopted the first modern crime compensation programs. These programs compensate for injury and death caused by a criminal attack upon an innocent victim. Although the reception given to these programs has been quite favorable and there have been additional adoptions by other jurisdictions, the total number of program adoptions remains small. New Jersey's adoption in October, 1971, brought the total …
