A Randomized Comparison Trial Testing Two Culturally Adapted HIV Prevention Approaches for Native Americans Reducing Trauma Symptoms Versus Substance Misuse
Masking Radicalism With Restraint: The Rhetorical Redefinition of Conservative Jurisprudence in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization
Originalists urge courts to exercise judicial restraint over activism when deciding cases. Despite judicial restraint’s association with conservative philosophy, the Supreme Court majority rejected long-established precedent in the Dobbs decision, overturning Roe v. Wade . In this essay, I argue that the Court rationalized its rejection of stare decisis using a rhetoric of originalist mythic rationalization , a technique allowing conservative jus…
Global movements for accelerating climate change action: The case of Farmer-Managed Natural Regeneration
Much can be learned from burgeoning climate action movements in thousands of majority world rural communities. Land degradation has increased the vulnerability of over three billion people to famine, food insecurity, water shortages, and increasingly severe weather events, trapping climate-vulnerable communities in vicious cycles of impoverishment. Yet, many communities are learning through local climate action how to escape these cycles. We offe…
Deprogramming Implicit Bias: The Case for Public Interest Technology
New technologies have fundamentally transformed the systems that govern modern life, from criminal justice to health care, housing, and beyond. Algorithmic advancements promise greater efficiency and purported objectivity, but they risk perpetuating dangerous biases. In response, the field of public interest technology has emerged to offer an interdisciplinary, human-centered, and equity-focused approach to technological innovation. This essay ar…

Obeying Authority: Should We Trust Them or Not
Researchers claim impartiality when conducting research and suggest their motives are to improve knowledge. However, when investigating the history of research into obedience to authority, propaganda and power-knowledge are present as well as emotional ties that affect the motives and methods of investigating these areas. With published work from US President Woodrow Wilson proposing obeying authority is necessary to functional societies and the …

Tie Strength, Embeddedness, and Social Influence: A Large-Scale Networked Experiment
We leverage the newly emerging business analytical capability to rapidly deploy and iterate large-scale, microlevel, in vivo randomized experiments to understand how social influence in networks impacts consumer demand. Understanding peer influence is critical to estimating product demand and diffusion, creating effective viral marketing, and designing “network interventions” to promote positive social change. But several statistical challenges m…
Identifying Influential and Susceptible Members of Social Networks
Who Influences Who? A goal in social science is how to assess people's influence over one. Aral and Walker (p. 337 , published online 21 June) describe a generalized method for identifying influential and susceptible members of social networks based on large-scale in vivo randomized experimentation. The method was used to estimate peer effects in consumer demand for a commercial Facebook application in a representative sample of 12 million Facebo…
Assessing the Vulnerability of Eco-Environmental Health to Climate Change
There is an urgent need to assess the vulnerability of eco-environmental health to climate change. This paper aims to provide an overview of current research, to identify knowledge gaps, and to propose future research needs in this challenging area. Evidence shows that climate change is affecting and will, in the future, have more (mostly adverse) impacts on ecosystems. Ecosystem degradation, particularly the decline of the life support systems, …
Citizen-driven reform of local-level basic services: Community-Based Performance Monitoring
Amid growing interest in forms of participatory and decentralised governance, increasing efforts are being made to increase the accountability, responsiveness, and relevance of the state through active citizenship. Drawing on the theoretical basis for social accountability, this article explores bottom–up views of active citizenship which highlight the importance of the intrinsic as well as the instrumental value of participatory social accountab…
The treatment of leprosy in 19th-century London: A case study from St Marylebone cemetery
A young adult male, context [825], exhibiting a suite of proliferative and erosive skeletal changes, was excavated from the old burial ground of St Marylebone, London, in 2005 by the Museum of London Archaeology Service (MoLAS). Although pathognomonic rhinomaxillary changes were absent, a number of lesions were of a type previously recorded in individuals suffering from lepromatous leprosy, including resorption of the alveolar process of the maxi…
Gender differences in risk and treatment uptake in drug using offenders assessed in custody suite settings

This article presents findings from an assessment of 1082 Arrest Referral Risk Matrices used by Drug Arrest Referral Workers in police custody between 2005 and 2006. Risk is measured on three elements, ‘drug spend’, current offending and arrest history, and three warni…
Rural cinema audiences in South Australia in the 1930s
Very few South Australian local histories give any account of the ritual screening of films in local community halls and regional picture theatres. Given that the 1930s was a turbulent era for the exhibition industry, the survival of the rural picture show beyond the decade suggests that it played a significant role in local history. This article will discuss the distribution and exhibition of films in rural South Australia during the early 1930s…

Climate change and evolving human diversity in Europe during the last glacial
A link between climate change and human evolution during the Pleistocene has often been assumed but rarely tested. At the macro–evolutionary level Foley showed for hominids that extinction, rather than speciation, correlates with environmental change as recorded in the deep sea record. Our aim is to examine this finding at a smaller scale and with high–resolution environmental and archaeological archives. Our interest is in changing patterns of h…

Establishing a chronology for the last 1000 years of laminated sediment accumulation at Lake Barrine, a tropical upland maar lake, northeastern Australia
Radiocarbon dates from the uppermost 115 cm of laminated mud beneath the centre of a small crater lake are affected by the residence-time in the marginal shallows of the organic detritus which, after transport to deep water, forms alternate layers in the sediment column. The delay is estimated from radiocarbon ages of source materials, trapped seston and the upper levels of the sediment column based on the ‘post-bomb’ atmospheric radiocarbon flux…

Second Interim Report on Peat Stratigraphy and Pollen Analysis in the Seamer Area
The eastern end of the Vale of Pickering, in which the archaeological site lies, has been considerably affected by glaciation, and did in fact provide many of the earliest examples of ice work to be described in this country (Fox Strangways 1880, Kendall 1902). The only glacial feature which need concern us at present, however, is the large number of mounds of drift, principally gravel and sand. These occupy the floor of the valley and frequently…

Late Quaternary Climates of Australia and New Guinea
Between 60,000 and 40,000 B.P., northeastern Queensland, south New South Wales, and southeastern South Australia were drier than at present. From 40,000–30,000 B.P. a colder climate than at present is indicated from one New Guinea area. Dryness became even more accentuated in northeastern Queensland, whereas many lakes filled up in the southern mainland, probably because of increasing precipitation effectiveness there. Before the end of this peri…

Differential Effect of Alcohol on Aggressive Behavior in Dominant and Subordinate Hamsters
Pairs of male golden hamsters were tested to see whether alcohol differentially affected the aggressive behavior of the hamsters depending upon dominance status. 14 pairs of singly-caged hamsters were used. Dominance relationships were established between pairs of hamsters and the hamster pairs were then divided into two groups, one in which previous winners received alcohol and a second in which previous losers received alcohol. Hamsters were in…
