Community science and the value-free ideal
Community science—the participation of people who are not professional scientists in scientific research—has enormous potential benefits. This paper addresses community science that is organized around large, stable, digital platforms. One of several commonly expressed worries concerns the relationship among community science, values, and objectivity. In this paper I analyze ways in which the value-free ideal (VFI) functions in scientific and ext…
What Are We Teaching Engineers about Climate Change? Presenting the Macc Evaluation of Climate Change Education
Engineering underpins the progress of modern societies. However, engineering activities are a key driver of climate change and engineers are responsible in many ways for disaster risk reduction. It is therefore imperative that engineering education accurately portrays the impact that the profession has on our climate and equips engineers with the knowledge to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and to adapt infrastructure for climate resilience. He…

Implications of climate change for railway infrastructure
Weather phenomena can result in severe impacts on railway infrastructure. In future, projected changes to the frequency and/or intensity of extreme weather events could change weather–infrastructure risk profiles. Infrastructure owners and operators need to manage current weather impacts and put in place adequate plans to anticipate and adapt to changes in future weather risks, or mitigate the impacts arising from those risks. The assessment of t…
Strengthening the Voice of Those with Mental Health Issues: A Community Approach to Developing a Mental Health Identification System
This article describes how an action research approach was used to involve a community of individuals with mental health issues and their support systems in the development and adoption of a mental health identification (ID) card. The intent of the card was to provide individuals with mental health issues a way to communicate and manage the idiosyncratic nature of their behaviors. A credit card-size ID card was developed that has the individual's…
Examining the Usefulness of Student-Produced PSAs to Learn Advocacy in a Human Behavior and the Social Environment Course
Advocacy is a complex set of applications that applies knowledge of human behavior in the social environment to promote the rights of others. The purpose of this study was to explore the usefulness of student-created public service announcements (PSAs) to help BSW students learn cause-based advocacy. Our results suggest that assigning a PSA project supports competencies in cause-based advocacy, professional identity development social work, criti…

Heat-Related Failures on Southeast England’s Railway Network: Insights and Implications for Heat Risk Management
High temperatures and heat waves can cause numerous problems for railway infrastructure, such as track buckling, sagging of overhead lines, and the failure of electrical equipment. Without adaptation, these problems are set to increase in a future warmer climate. This study used industry fault data to examine the temporal and spatial distribution of heat-related incidents in southeast England and produce a unique evidence base of the impact of te…

The Relationship Between Spirituality and Social Justice Advocacy: Attitudes of Social Work Students
Given the importance of social justice advocacy within the profession and the reemergence of spirituality as an important element of social work practice, empirical research into the relationship between spirituality and social justice is needed. The purpose of the present effort is to report on a research project investigating the relationship between one form of spirituality, connectedness with humanity, and tendencies toward social justice adv…
Social Network Analysis for Analyzing Groups as Complex Systems
The introduction and application of social network analysis, a method seen as superior to experimental or single-system research design for showing group change, examined group dynamics and change over time using a hypothetical example of an Internet group for gays and lesbians. Rather than utilizing traditional definitions of independent and dependent variables, the analysis utilized hypothetical data with nodes or individuals, ties, and the rel…

The Relationship Between Childhood Emotional Neglect and Adult Spirituality: An Exploratory Study
The present study is an exploratory investigation into an area of study that to date has received very little attention: the relationship between childhood emotional neglect and adult spirituality. Participants were surveyed regarding childhood emotional neglect and their spirituality. Spirituality was defined as involving four areas of connectedness: with a higher power, with others, with humanity, and with an inner core. The study hypothesized …
An Exploratory Study of Opinions on Clickers and Class Participation From Students of Human Behavior in the Social Environment
Personal response systems, or clickers, were used in an undergraduate social work course as a way to facilitate class participation and discussion. At the end of the semester, students were asked to evaluate their experiences of using clickers. The data were organized into five themes: the clicker as a technological device, participation as a function of the clickers, quantifying participation, clickers fostered learning from others, and clickers…
An Experiment Comparing HBSE Graduate Social Work Classes: Face‐to‐Face and at a Distance
This article describes a quasi‐experimental comparison of two master's level social work classes delivering content on human behavior in the social environment. One class, delivered face‐to‐face, was largely synchronous. The other class, delivered using distance technologies, was more asynchronous than the first. The authors hypothesized that students would learn equally well in both classes, and did not reject that hypothesis. That was so even a…

Urban as a Determinant of Health
Cities are the predominant mode of living, and the growth in cities is related to the expansion of areas that have concentrated disadvantage. The foreseeable trend is for rising inequities across a wide range of social and health dimensions. Although qualitatively different, this trend exists in both the developed and developing worlds. Improving the health of people in slums will require new analytic frameworks. The social-determinants approach …
