Understanding Family Violence From a Therapeutic Lens
Mitigating and understanding family violence is the cornerstone of this paper. Family violence can happen for multiple reasons without any exclusivity. A firsthand account of how I experienced violence in my life will be discussed to give meaning to my worldview and therapeutic lens. Exploration of family violence theories ranging from the ecological model to feminist theory will be conducted. Comprehending sexual minority violence must become a …
The effect of bi-iliac breadth on core body temperature
Knuckle-walking in Sahelanthropus? Locomotor inferences from the ulnae of fossil hominins and other hominoids
Because the ulna supports and transmits forces during movement, its morphology can signal aspects of functional adaptation. To test whether, like extant apes, some hominins habitually recruit the forelimb in locomotion, we separate the ulna shaft and ulna proximal complex for independent shape analyses via elliptical Fourier methods to identify functional signals. We examine the relative influence of locomotion, taxonomy, and body mass on ulna co…
Evolution of vertebral numbers in primates, with a focus on hominoids and the last common ancestor of hominins and panins
Perempuan Adat dan Kemiskinan
This article stems from my experience of conducting ethnography on indigenous Dayak Benawan women in West Kalimantan for approximately two years. Documenting the experiences and knowledge of indigenous Dayak Benawan women was a challenge for me as a researcher, a man, and part of the Dayak Benawan people. Reflection on field data reveals that indigenous women of Dayak Benawan experience multiple oppressions of poverty, starting from the family sy…
Competitive anxiety and trigger timing in female sport pistol shooters (Ansiedad en competición y tiempo de disparo en tiradoras de pistola deportiva)
Olympic shooting is a precision sport, influenced by both physical and psychological parameters. The main objective of the study was to analyze the effects of competitive anxiety in female sport pistol shooting during the qualification and the final rounds. Twenty-three women, including 5 elite shooters, who competed at a national Spanish Olympic shooting championship, participated in the study. All shooters completed a socio-demographic and a Co…
PrEP Use, Sexual Behaviour, and PrEP Adherence Among Men who have Sex with Men Living in Wales Prior to and During the Covid-19 Pandemic
We examined PrEP use, condomless anal sex (CAS), and PrEP adherence among men who have sex with men (MSM) attending sexual health clinics in Wales, UK. In addition, we explored the association between the introduction of measures to control transmission of SARS-CoV-2 on these outcomes. We conducted an ecological momentary assessment study of individuals in receipt of PrEP in Wales. Participants used an electronic medication cap to record PrEP use…
Homeotic change in segment identity derives the human vertebral formula from a chimpanzee‐like one
OBJECTIVES: One of the most contentious issues in paleoanthropology is the nature of the last common ancestor of humans and our closest living relatives, chimpanzees and bonobos (panins). The numerical composition of the vertebral column has featured prominently, with multiple models predicting distinct patterns of evolution and contexts from which bipedalism evolved. Here, we study total numbers of vertebrae from a large sample of hominoids to q…

HIV status disclosure among postpartum women in rural Tanzania
HIV status disclosure is a key support strategy to start and maintain HIV care and treatment and to reduce HIV transmission. We explored the patterns and correlates of disclosure and described the effectiveness of nurse-facilitated disclosure among HIV-infected mothers of infants in coastal Tanzania. We enrolled 400 HIV positive women in an observational longitudinal study in 2011, interviewed them about maternal sociodemographic and economic cha…

The torso integration hypothesis revisited in Homo sapiens
Objectives: Lower thoracic widths and curvatures track upper pelvic widths and iliac blades curvatures in hominins and other primates (torso integration hypothesis). However, recent studies suggest that sexual dimorphism could challenge this assumption in Homo sapiens . We test the torso integration hypothesis in two modern human populations, both considering and excluding the effect of sexual dimorphism. We further assess covariation patterns be…

Homo naledi pelvic remains from the Dinaledi Chamber, South Africa
New fossil remains of Homo naledi from the Lesedi Chamber, South Africa
The Rising Star cave system has produced abundant fossil hominin remains within the Dinaledi Chamber, representing a minimum of 15 individuals attributed to Homo naledi. Further exploration led to the discovery of hominin material, now comprising 131 hominin specimens, within a second chamber, the Lesedi Chamber. The Lesedi Chamber is far separated from the Dinaledi Chamber within the Rising Star cave system, and represents a second depositional …

Vertebral numbers and human evolution
Ever since Tyson (1699), anatomists have noted and compared differences in the regional numbers of vertebrae among humans and other hominoids. Subsequent workers interpreted these differences in phylogenetic, functional, and behavioral frameworks and speculated on the history of vertebral numbers during human evolution. Even in a modern phylogenetic framework and with greatly expanded sample sizes of hominoid species, researchers’ conclusions var…
Placement of the diaphragmatic vertebra in catarrhines
A fundamental adaptation to orthograde posture and locomotion amongst living hominoid primates is a numerically reduced lumbar column, which acts to stiffen the lower back and reduce injuries to the intervertebral discs. A related and functionally complementary strategy of spinal stability is a caudal position of the diaphragmatic vertebra relative to the primitive condition found in nonhominoid primates and most other mammals. The diaphragmatic …

L ucy” ( A . L . 288‐1) had five sacral vertebrae
A “long‐backed” scenario of hominin vertebral evolution posits that early hominins possessed six lumbar vertebrae coupled with a high frequency of four sacral vertebrae (7:12‐13:6:4), a configuration acquired from a hominin‐panin last common ancestor (PLCA) having a vertebral formula of 7:13:6‐7:4. One founding line of evidence for this hypothesis is the recent assertion that the “Lucy” sacrum (A.L. 288‐1an, Australopithecus afarensis ) consists …

Body size and joint posture in primates
Body mass has been shown in experimental and comparative morphological studies to have a significant effect on joint posture in major limb joints. The generalizability of experimental studies is limited by their use of small sample sizes and limited size ranges. In contrast, while comparative morphological studies often have increased sample sizes, the connection between joint posture and morphological variables is often indirect. The current stu…

Paleochannels and Patches
Although Aboriginal occupation dates to the Pleistocene, silcrete artifacts only begin to dominate archaeological sites found in the Cumberland Plain of western Sydney, eastern Australia, during the mid‐late Holocene. These assemblages routinely include large numbers of backed artifacts. A geoarchaeological survey of five potential silcrete source areas found that silcrete is irregularly distributed along ridgelines within gravel patches that rep…

Measuring the effectiveness of health care systems
Much economic analysis of health care systems employs measures of effectiveness which relate to workload or provision rather than to the health status of the individual. A conceptually correct measure is sketched out, and it is argued that such a measure is operationally feasible, though it requires careful analytical treatment, and a clearly specified division of responsibility between various research disciplines, administrators and policy-make…

Modelling air pollution in Leeds (U.K.)
An investigation of theoretical models of dispersion of pollutants within the urban area of Leeds is described. Attention is centred on the problems of successful prediction (and hence control) of situations leading to low levels of visibility in the city area. The importance of knowledge of local meteorological parameters is underlined especially for the successful prediction of urban visibilities. In particular, the need for an accurate method …
Urban stormwater design
Severe flooding in the Northern Suburbs of Sydney resulting from the 8 November 1984 storm, one of the most intense recorded in Sydney, illustrated the limitations and problems of stormwater drainage in the area. Many of the flood problems can be traced to piped systems which are meant to fail (surcharge) during high intensity storms or failed because of inlet blockage. Residents do not appear to understand that such systems do fail and hence tak…

Motorcycle licensure, ownership, and injury crash involvement
The interrelationships among motorcycle licensure, ownership, and injury crash involvement were investigated in a sample of 2,723 motorcycle drivers severely or fatally injured in California in 1985-86. Owners of motorcycles in such crashes ("driver-owners") were less likely to have valid licenses than a random sample of motorcycle owners who had not been in crashes (42 vs. 57 percent). Thirty-three percent of the crash-involved drivers had valid…
