Baseline characteristics of people experiencing homelessness in the PHOENIx community pharmacy multicentre pilot randomised controlled trial
People experiencing homelessness (PEH) are amongst the most marginalised populations in the society. Despite facing extreme health inequalities and poorer outcomes than the general population, they are under-represented in clinical trials. Little is hence known about the physical, mental health and social characteristics of PEH as clinical trial participants. Cross-sectoral complex interventions aiming to mitigate health, wellbeing and wider ineq…
Pharmacy Homeless Outreach Engagement Non-medical Independent Prescribing Rx (PHOENIx) Community Pharmacy-Based Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) aiming to address the multiple health and social challenges of people experiencing homelessness (PEH) are lacking. Here we report the findings from a multicenter, open, pilot RCT. The intervention involved independent prescriber pharmacist from the National Health Service working on outreach in partnership with dedicated workers from Homeless Voluntary Charity or Social Enterprises (HVCSEs) (Pharmacist and thir…
Patient and Public Involvement in Research Evaluating Integrated Care for People Experiencing Homelessness: Findings From the PHOENIx Community Pharmacy Pilot Randomised‐Controlled Trial
INTRODUCTION: There is a paucity of research on and a limited understanding of patient and public involvement (PPI) in the context of research in homelessness and, in particular, direct involvement of people with lived and living experience of homelessness (PEH) as expert advisors. We aim to report on outcomes and reflections from lived experience advisory panel (LEAP) meetings and PPI activities, held throughout the study lifecycle of a pilot ra…
Arjuna-Odysseus: Shared Heritage in Indian and Greek Epic
Bringing together the study of the Greek classics and Indology, Arjuna–Odysseus provides a comparative analysis of the shared heritage of the Mahabharata and early Greek traditions presented in the texts of Homer and Hesiod. Building on the ethnographic theories of Durkheim, Mauss, and Dumont, the volume explores the convergences and rapprochements between the Mahabharata and the Greek texts. In exploring the networks of similarities between the …

A longitudinal examination of the work–nonwork boundary strength construct
Many organizations are blurring the boundaries between work and nonwork through practices such as flextime, telecommuting, and on‐site day‐cares. Such integration of work and nonwork is purported to help employees find the seemingly elusive “work‐life balance.” Scholarly investigations of this issue have increased in number, but a standard measure of work–nonwork boundary strength has yet to emerge. The purpose of this research is to explore the …
Organizational citizenship behavior and workplace deviance: The role of affect and cognitions.
To investigate the role of affect and cognitions in predicting organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and workplace deviance behavior (WDB), data were collected from 149 registered nurses and their coworkers. Job affect was associated more strongly than were job cognitions with OCB directed at individuals, whereas job cognitions correlated more strongly than did job affect with OCB directed at the organization. With respect to WDB, job cogniti…
Athena and Durgaā: Warrior Goddesses in Greek and Sanskrit Epic
A meta-analytic review of occupational commitment: Relations with person- and work-related variables.
Relations between occupational commitment (OC) and several person- and work-related variables were examined meta-analytically (76 samples; across analyses, Ns ranged 746-15,774). Major findings are as follows. First, OC was positively related to job-focused constructs such as job involvement and satisfaction, suggesting that attitudes toward the job itself may be a central concern in committing to one's occupation. Second, consistent with previou…

Arjuna and the Second Function: A Dumézilian Crux
Arjuna is in many ways the central character of the Mahābhārata, the great Sanskrit epic. By order of birth he is the third among the Pāṇḍavas, the five sons of Pānḍu, who represent the forces of cosmic order. When, after humiliation and exile, the Pānḍ;avas finally triumph, primogeniture prevails, and it is the eldest brother, Yudhisfhira, who takes the throne; but in other respects, Arjuna is usually a more salient figure than his dutiful eldes…

Marcel Mauss: A Centenary Tribute
Marcel Mauss, successor of Emile Durkheim and one-time teacher of Claude Levi-Strauss, continues to inspire social scientists across various disciplines. Only selected texts of Mauss's work have been translated into English, but of these, some, as for instance his "Essay on the Gift," have proved of key significance for the development of anthropology internationally. Recently and starting in France, the interest in Mauss's work has increased not…

Examination of the combined effects of work values and early work experiences on organizational commitment
We tested the hypothesis that the influence of early work experiences on organization commitment would be moderated by the value employees place on these experiences. We measured work values in two samples of recent university graduates prior to organizational entry, and obtained measures of commensurate work experiences and three forms of commitment (affective, continuance, and normative: Allen and Meyer, 1990) on different occasions following e…

he authors tested the generalizability of J. P. Meyer and N. J. Allen's (1991) 3-component model of organizational commitment to the domain of occupational commitment. Measures of affective, continuance, and normative commitment to occupation were developed and used to test hypotheses concerning their differential relations with antecedent and consequence variables. Confirmatory factor analyses conducted on data collected from samples of student …

The measurement and antecedents of affective, continuance and normative commitment to the organization
Organizational commitment has been conceptualized and measured in various ways. The two studies reported here were conducted to test aspects of a three-component model of commitment which integrates these various conceptualizations. The affective component of organizational commitment, proposed by the model, refers to employees' emotional attachment to, identification with, and involvement in, the organization. The continuance component refers to…

Individualism and Equality [and Comments and Replies]
This paper examines, at the level of values, the relationship between individualism and equality. It has been widely held, since the time of Tocqueville, that, whereas traditional societies emphasize hierarchical values and collective identities, modern societies are marked by their simultaneous concern for equality and the individual. The assumption of a correspondence between individualism and equality appears to be challenged by programmes of …
Early Austronesian Social Organization: The Evidence of Language [and Comments and Reply]
Published views on early Austronesian social organization can be characterized broadly as representing one of two mutually irreconcilable positions: one that recognizes descent groups and another that does not. The former position-in a highly specific form that I call the "prescriptive-alliance hypothesis"-has been adopted by most Dutch scholars concerned with the culture history of Indonesia and was independently reached by Levi-Strauss in the c…

The evolution of kinship terminologies
This paper, originating from a conference on kinship in Asia, examines the evolution of kinship terminologies, arguing against the prevailing view that they passively reflect social structure. Allen proposes that terminologies are actively shaped by communicative needs and cognitive constraints, leading to systematic patterns of change. He introduces the concept of "referential economy" to explain how terminologies balance the need for precise re…

Personality Characteristics of Community Mental Health Volunteers: A Review
Community volunteers provide assistance to a wide variety of client popula-tions. Indeed, without the efforts of these individuals, many services, particularly those in the mental health field, would be greatly reduced or become unavailable altogether (Carter, 1975). An examination of the deter-minants of this altruistic behavior, therefore, is of practical significance, as well as theoretical import. Why do community mental health volunteers dev…

Links between work experiences and organizational commitment during the first year of employment: A longitudinal analysis
In this study, the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire and self‐report measures of work experiences were completed by newly hired university graduates 1, 6 and 11 months after starting employment. The time‐lagged influence of work experiences on commitment, and of commitment on work experiences, was examined using structural regression analyses. The results revealed effects of work experiences in the first month of employment on commitment me…
