School and classroom effects on Daily Physical Activity (DPA) policy implementation fidelity in Ontario classrooms: A multi-level analysis
Findings from the study indicate the theoretical and practical importance of addressing classroom and teacher factors since they are most proximal to implementation fidelity to the policy. Several of these factors also reflect complex structural and organizational contexts, indicating that a systems approach to understanding and supporting DPA implementation fidelity is warranted

Evaluation of Daily Physical Activity (DPA) policy implementation in Ontario: Surveys of elementary school administrators and teachers
Findings from the surveys indicate incomplete policy implementation and a number of factors significantly associated with implementation fidelity. The results indicate a number of important implications for policy, practice and further research, including the need for additional research to monitor implementation and its predictors, and assess the impacts of study recommendations and subsequent outcomes of a reinvigorated DPA moving forward
Made in Mexico: Regions, Nation, and the State in the Rise of Mexican Industrialism, 1920s-1940s
Made in Mexico is a very important book that fills a number of gaps in the literature on postrevolutionary Mexico by tracing the national and regional development of the country’s industrial sector. The book, which explores the conflicts among industrialists and labor leaders as well as state and federal policy makers over statist industrialism, is well written, thoroughly researched, and rests firmly on materials from Mexico City’s national depo…
The Secret War in El Paso: Mexican Revolutionary Intrigue, 1906 - 1920
This lengthy, award-winning study details the critical role played by the city of El Paso, Texas, in the violent phase of the Mexican Revolution between 1910 and 1920. The monograph is thoroughly researched using local, state, and federal sources and rests primarily on US archival materials, especially the infrequently used Federal Bureau of Investigation records. The authors show little concern with why the Mexican Revolution occurred and the un…
An Illustration of a Methodology to Maximize Mail Survey Response Rates in a Provincial School-Based Physical Activity Needs Assessment
Two mail surveys were conducted as a province-wide needs assessment to examine the opportunities for, barriers to, and participation in physical activity in Ontario elementary and secondary schools. Dillman’s Tailored Design Method (TDM) was used to maximize the quality of responses and the response rate. Both surveys entailed five mailings to key informants from randomly selected schools. The response rate among the 599 elementary and 600 second…

A Social History of Mexico's Railroads: Peons, Prisoners, and Priests
This multilayered study of the railroad industry in the states of Oaxaca and Veracruz focuses on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in the second half of the nineteenth century. The book is well researched and based on a broad array of archival sources from Mexico, the United States, and Great Britain. Its title is somewhat misleading since this study is as much a social history as it is a top-down economic history of railroad construction and operation.…
Specialist or Nonspecialist Physical Education Teachers in Ontario Elementary Schools: Examining Differences in Opportunities for Physical Activity
Research supports the position that specialists are the preferred providers of physical education in elementary (primary) school settings. We examined whether specialists delivered more physical education lessons and provided greater opportunities for moderate and vigorous physical activity and whether barriers to curricular and extracurricular physical activity opportunities in Ontario elementary schools differed for specialist and nonspecialist…

México y las conferencias panamericanas, 1889-1938: Antecedentes de la globalización
México y las conferencias panamericana is an indispensable book for anyone doing research on Mexican foreign affairs and inter-American relations from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. More than a dozen scholars ably summarize the main developments of the eight Pan-American conferences held during that time: 1889 in Washington, 1901 in Mexico City, 1906 in Rio de Janeiro, 1910 in Buenos Aires, 1923 in Santiago, 1928 in Havana, 193…
Maximizing children’s physical activity: An evaluability assessment to plan a community-based, multi-strategy approach in an ethno-racially and socio-economically diverse city
An evaluability assessment was conducted to plan a community-based, multi-strategy approach to physical activity promotion (MSAPAP) to maximize young children's physical activity in an ethno-racially and socio-economically diverse city. This assessment involved consultation with various stakeholders to develop a program logic model to diagrammatically describe the MSAPAP. First, published literature regarding physical activity was reviewed to des…

Toothbrushing Competency Among High‐risk Grade One Students: An Evaluation of Two Methods of Dental Health Education
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of two methods of dental health education (DHE) for improving toothbrushing competency among grade one students at high risk for dental diseases. Methods: Fifty elementary schools in the former city of North York, Ontario, Canada, were assigned to one of two groups. In one group, students received a classroom‐based DHE lesson that was reinforced by two small group sessions ( n =243). In the other group, st…

Internal structure of a measure of self-efficacy in physical activity among high school students
Exogenous testosterone and social experience each enhance the development of aggressive behavior inCyprinodon variegatus
The combined effects of testosterone and social experience from the time of hatching on development of aggressive behaviors in Cyprinodon variegatus were investigated. Social experience was defined as a rearing condition allowing visual, tactile, chemosensory, and auditory contact with zero, three, or 15 additional conspecifics. Behaviors were videotaped once weekly from 3 weeks to 4 months post-hatching, using the focal animal method, and an eth…
Internal Structure of Participation Motivation Questionnaire Completed by Undergraduates
The current study was conducted to examine the internal structure of the 1983 Participation Motivation Questionnaire of Gill, Gross, and Huddleston, a measure of motives for participating in sport and physical activity, when used among undergraduates. Principal component analysis of responses from students yielded a six-factor solution. The subscales were team orientation, achievement/status, fitness, friendship, skill development, and fun/excite…

These reports are a resource that is used by departmental staff to assess local needs, plan and evaluate programs, and assist in departmental strategic planning. This paper describes the application of the nominal group technique (NGT) among staff in a public health departm…
