On gravity and geography
This paper critically examines the contested and uneven ways in which societies confront, manipulate and leverage gravity. In human geography, gravity has been conceptualised as a constant benign force. Implicit in geographical thinking, rarely has it been made explicit to the formation of complex socio-spatial relationships. Grounded in post-humanist, post-phenomenological thought, this paper develops an ontopolitical account, emphasising gravit…

Damage, recovery, and the geographies of military–civil entanglements
This paper explores two forms of entanglements between military and civilian phenomena and activities, in contexts of recovery from damaging events.One concerns global civil-military entanglements in low earth orbital space, where recovery from damage is necessary for sustaining the civilian and military service support systems on which we increasingly depend.The other uses the damage caused by the UK state's regimes of financial austerity to hig…
Mine are the Dead Spaces: A Discussion of Bunker Work’s Atmospheres, Limits and Routines
The abandoned bunker is burdened with dereliction, haunted by catastrophe averted. Yet a repurposed former place-for-war can facilitate a peaceful working afterlife. Here, the nature of this afterlife is considered through curated discussion between those who have worked within and/or who have created across repurposed bunker spaces: Becky Alexis-Martin (an emergency planner turned academic), Michael Mulvihill (an artist), and Kathrine Sandys (a …

Trends in Mortality Due to Legal Intervention in the United States, 1979 Through 1997
Objectives. This report identifies trends in the number and rate of deaths due to law enforcement actions (International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, category “legal intervention”) in the United States. Methods. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Compressed Mortality File was used to determine age-, race-, and sex-specific death rates due to legal intervention for the years 1979 through 1997. Results. Males account fo…
From Ethnography to Survey: Some Methodological Issues in Research on Health Seeking in East Harlem
This paper explores how and to what extent qualitative ethnographic methods of data collection in the social sciences may be integrated with survey methods to produce a research instrument. It presents an approach to assessing the cultural sensitivity of a survey instrument that was developed and tested in an ethnographic study of health seeking among elderly Hispanics in East Harlem, New York City, and considers some of the practical and theoret…
Reproductive Decisions among HIV-infected, Drug-Using Women: The Importance of Mother-Child Coresidence
In this article we examine the influence of personal, social, and cultural factors, in particular continuity of mother-child coresidence, on the reproductive decisions of HIV-positive, women drug users. Among these women, decisions to terminate a pregnancy were found to be most significantly associated with continuity of mother-child coresidence. We explore the policy implications of this finding
Evaluation of the effectiveness of a high school course in cardiovascular nutrition
High school biology students participated in a cardiovascular nutrition education program. The program was evaluated for its effect on the student's knowledge, attitudes, reported eating behavior, and serum lipid levels by matching individual's pre-and post-program results. There was a significant improvement in cardiovascular nutrition knowledge and attitudes toward a low cholesterol pattern of eating. There was also a signigicant improvement in…
The 4 score: An index for predicting a patient's non-medical hospital days
Three hundred sixty-three patients representing two groups of consecutive medical admissions to a large city hospital were evaluated on admission to determine what factors might predict "non-medical" or social stay. Periodic follow-up determined when patients were ready for discharge and when their social stay began. A composite index, the 4-Score, was derived as a simple indicator of risk for subsequent social stay; it is defined as the number o…
