Effectiveness of Bans and Laws in Reducing Traffic Deaths
We determined the relative risk of alcohol-related motor vehicle accidents and fatalities after New Mexico lifted its ban on Sunday packaged alcohol sales. We extracted all alcohol-related crashes from New Mexico police reports for 3652 days between July 1, 1990, and June 30, 2000, and found a 29% increase in alcohol-related crashes and a 42% increase in alcohol-related crash fatalities on Sundays after the ban on Sunday packaged alcohol sales wa…
The Effect of Labor-Saving Technology on Longitudinal Fertility Changes
In many subsistence communities worldwide, laborsaving technologies such as mechanized water pumps and grain mills are introduced during the first stages of economic acculturation. These technological changes affect the efficiency with which resources are acquired and processed. If women can produce the same amount of a good in less time and if the time savings is reallocated to less energetically costly activities, the positive shift in womens e…
Staff perspectives on methadone maintenance therapy (MMT) in a large southwestern jail
The purpose of the study was to develop and test an instrument to measure knowledge about methadone maintenance treatment, attitudes towards drug addiction, readiness to adopt a methadone maintenance program, and to determine how the staff at a large metropolitan detention center score on these domains. We developed a 45-item “Knowledge, Attitudes, and Readiness to Adopt” survey and administered it to 114 jail staff. The anonymous survey was psyc…
Age-dependency in hunting ability among the Ache of Eastern Paraguay
Women's Labor, Fertility, and the Introduction of Modern Technology in a Rural Maya Village
In the mid 1970s, the introduction of modern technology into a Maya subsistence agricultural village markedly increased the efficiency with which maize could be ground and water collected. This change in labor efficiency introduced a possible savings in the overall time that women allocate to work and, importantly, to energetic work. This article documents the response of female fertility to the introduction of laborsaving technology. Using two p…
Population History and the Islamization of the Iberian Peninsula
Despite the wealth of documentary evidence regarding the development of Andalusian civilization in the Iberian Peninsula following the first Muslim invasions in a.d. 711, considerable controversy surrounds the issue of how to interpret the political, cultural, and demographic impact of Islamization on what is now Spain and Portugal. That Islamic civilization had a profound impact on the culture and language of Iberia cannot be questioned. Much de…

Effectiveness of Bans and Laws in Reducing Traffic Deaths
We determined the relative risk of alcohol-related motor vehicle accidents and fatalities after New Mexico lifted its ban on Sunday packaged alcohol sales.
