Pharmacology Course Redesign Using High-Impact Practices
Background: Although pharmacology serves as a foundation for health care professions, a gap exists between education and the clinical application. Experiential learning has demonstrated benefit when integrated into pharmacology courses; however, professors struggle with the challenge of incorporating active learning modalities into traditional lecture courses. Method: Active learning and high-impact educational practices, based on cognitive theor…

Behind the Ballot
Political commentaries on elections highlight the act and outcome of suffrage. Votes are tallied and trends analyzed as pundits distill election results, post facto, into predictable storylines said to reveal the so-called pulse of the nation, littered with clichés about popular mandates and the people's verdict. Such accounts interpret elections as a straightforward index of a "popular will" without attention to their differentiated experience a…
Understanding and assessing uncertainty of observational climate datasets for model evaluation using ensembles
In climate science, observational gridded climate datasets that are based on in situ measurements serve as evidence for scientific claims and they are used to both calibrate and evaluate models. However, datasets only represent selected aspects of the real world, so when they are used for a specific purpose they can be a source of uncertainty. Here, we present a framework for understanding this uncertainty of observational datasets which distingu…
Imagining Worlds beyond the Nation-State
In addressing the relationship between national and international worldmaking political projects, Adom Getachew's impressive and thought-provoking recent book, Worldmaking after Empire: The Rise and Fall of Self-Determination, seeks to move beyond recent debates between those who posit an inevitability thesis about the triumph of the nation-state after 1945, on the one hand, and those who insist on the possibilities of alternative pathways, on th…
Support for teaching te reo Māori in Primary Schools
Te reo Mori, the Indigenous language of Aotearoa New Zealand Mori, suffered great marginalisation due to British colonisation, the effects of which are still experienced today. We interpreted national probability data from the New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study and constructed two models. Participants rated how strongly they supported teaching Mori language in New Zealand primary schools, from 1 (strongly oppose) to 7 (strongly support). Mode…
Panthers in parliament
In recent decades, a growing corpus of academic literature has examined the salience of caste to democratic politics in India with considerable attention paid to the incorporation of Dalits, groups
Writing Dalit assertion
This article examines the development and early politics of the Dalit Panther Iyakkam (DPI), or Dalit Panther Movement, of Tamil Nadu, India. Established in 1982, the DPI advanced a political programme that petitioned state authorities qua democratic citizens. By submitting written appeals through formal institutional channels, DPI organisers lobbied officials to perform their professional duties and advocated the delivery of rights, impartial ad…

Decolonisation and the “Federal Moment”
Post-1945 decolonisation involved the universal acceptance of nation-statehood as the alternative to imperialism. Nationalism vanquished its transnational competitors, notably imperialism and Marxism. Alternatives to imperial rule that avoided sovereign states on national lines, such as federations in the later 1940s and 1950s, have received less attention from historians. Federations involved alternative ways of thinking about sovereignty, terri…
Bogs, Bodies and Burnt Mounds
The recording and analysis of a burnt mound and adjacent palaeochannel deposits on the floodplain of the River Soar in Leicestershire revealed that the burnt mound was in use, possibly for a number of different purposes, at the transition from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age. An extensive radiocarbon dating programme indicated that the site was revisited. Human remains from the palaeochannel comprised the remains of three individuals, two of whom…
Construction of the Khoja Zaynuddin Mosque
As part of an ongoing project at the World Heritage Site of Bukhara, we investigated the glue used in the construction of the Khoja Zaynuddin mosque. Analysis by a range of techniques confirmed that it consisted of a collagen-based glue. However, the glue contained many non-protein constituents. The presence of lipid material suggests that the glue was produced by a relatively unsophisticated process. More surprisingly, various marker compounds o…
Geochemical and radiochronological evidence of North Sea storm surges in salt marsh cores from The Wash embayment (UK)
The accumulation history of intertidal silty salt marsh sediments, from the northern shore of The Wash embayment (eastern UK), has been investigated along two cores, using a multiproxy approach involving visual logging, grain size measurements, as well as determination of particulate elements concentrations and 137 Cs, 210 Pb activities. The cores were collected in the high marsh area; one core was collected on the marsh platform, whilst the othe…

Climate change and drought
Climate change is likely to increase drought risk during the 21 st century in many parts of the world. Climate model projections, under a range of emissions scenarios, consistently show that seasonal rainfall is likely to decrease across large parts of southern Europe, north Africa, central Asia and southern Africa, and reductions are also possible in other dry parts of the world. The effects of climate change, however, will be superimposed on th…
Insights into the processes behind the contamination of degraded human teeth and bone samples with exogenous sources of DNA
A principal problem facing human DNA studies that use old and degraded remains is contamination from other sources of human DNA. In this study we have attempted to contaminate deliberately bones and teeth sampled from a medieval collection excavated in Trondheim, Norway, in order to investigate this poorly understood phenomenon. Five pairs of teeth and bone samples were bathed in water containing various concentrations (from 10−9 and 10−21 g/l) o…

The Use of Small‐Angle X‐Ray Diffraction Studies for the Analysis of Structural Features in Archaeological Samples
X‐ray diffraction or scattering analysis provides a powerful non‐destructive technique capable of providing important information about the state of archaeological samples in the nanometer length scale. Small‐angle diffraction facilities are usually found at synchrotron sources, although the potential of a laboratory source is also described. Specific examples of analysis using X‐ray diffraction of historic parchment, archaeological bone, a Centr…
Supported education for individuals with psychiatric disabilities
Research indicates that many individuals with psychiatric disabilities often experience the onset of mental illness in young adulthood. This fact, as well as educational discrimination, unmet needs for support, personal fears of failure, and the cyclical nature of their illness causes many of these individuals not to pursue higher education, despite their intellectual qualifications. Supported education programs have arisen as psychosocial rehabi…

Effects of religion, economics, and geography on genetic structure of Fogo Island, Newfoundland
The population structure of Fogo Island, Newfoundland is described using geography, religious affiliation, economic factors (such as the presence of a fish‐packing plant), and genetic markers. Five different analytic methods, R‐matrix analysis, r ii VS. mean per locus heterozygosity, predicted kinship (φ), mean first passage time, and Mantel matrix comparisons, were applied to the Fogo Island genetic and demographic data. The results suggest that…
Upper respiratory tract infection in children, domestic temperatures, and humidity
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim of the study was to seek for a possible association between the incidence of upper respiratory tract infections and air temperature and humidity in the home. DESIGN--Recordings of temperature and relative humidity were made in living rooms and children's bedrooms over a six month period and related to incidence of upper respiratory tract infection. SETTING--The study was carried out in one general practice of 10,000 patie…
Repetition of the same pairs of names in marriages in Fogo Island, Newfoundland, and genetic variation
Surnames can be used to investigate the genetic structure of human populations. The repeated‐pairs approach (RP) uses information on the repetition of the same pairs of names from marital data sets to indicate the influence of clanlike behavior on mate choice. RP estimates the subdivision of the population into subgroups that breed among themselves and the kind of inbreeding ascribed to the Wahlund effect. The application of this method to the Fo…
