Ambiguity and Justice in the New Rhetoric Project and Pragma-Dialectics
To examine how ambiguity functions in rhetorical argumentation about justice, this article compares two prominent theoretical frameworks: Chaïm Perelman and Lucie Olbrechts-Tyteca’s New Rhetoric Project (NRP) and Frans van Eemeren and his colleagues’ Pragma-Dialectics (PD). Where the NRP embraces ambiguity as a heuristic resource for moral reasoning and dynamic justice, PD treats ambiguity as a fallacy that obstructs the resolution of disagreemen…
People Who Use Illegal Opioids Use of Methadone over Time, and What Characteristics Are Correlated with Staying in Methadone Maintenance Treatment
INTRODUCTION: Methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) is among the best strategies for reducing harms associated with illegal opioid use, yet it is hindered by low rates of treatment initiation and retention that limit its impact. There has been a lack of studies that describe how people who use illegal opioids use methadone-both from opioid treatment programs, and bought illegally-over time, or what factors correlate with long-term participation i…
“Once You’re Labeled a Drug User, You Might as Well Stay the F*** Home”
BACKGROUND: Despite the growing relevance of rural areas in the overdose crisis, research on rural people who inject drugs and their experiences with law enforcement remains limited. This research examines how rural policing and stigma uniquely shape the lives of people who inject drugs. METHODS: Forty-one semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with people who inject drugs in southern Illinois. For this analysis, we focused on part…

An Examination of How People Who Use Drugs Conceptualize the Benefits and Drawbacks of Using Overdose Prevention Centers
Background: In 2021, NYC implemented overdose prevention center (OPC) services at two existing syringe exchange programs, allowing people to use pre-obtained drugs on-site. Although OPCs in Canada, Western Europe, and Australia have demonstrated their feasibility and benefits towards reducing overdose risk and drug-related harm, there is less data on how people who use drugs (PWUD) conceptualize the benefits and any potential drawbacks of using O…

A longitudinal investigation of breastfeeding planning, initiation, and duration among individuals with pre-pregnancy overweight or obesity
are less likely to initiate and continue breastfeeding than are those with BMIs<25. Given the intergenerational health benefits of breastfeeding, it is important to understand breastfeeding behaviors and their correlates among individuals with BMIs≥25. Thus, in an observational cohort with BMI≥25 (N = 237), we aimed to characterize longitudinal relationships among breastfeeding planning, initiation, and duration and their sociodemographic/clinica…

Syndemic factors associated with non-fatal overdose among young opioid users in New York City
Introduction: Rates of illicit opioid use are particularly high among young adults, yet research on overdose experience and factors associated with overdose in this population remains limited. This study examines the experiences and correlates of non-fatal overdose among young adults using illicit opioids in New York City (NYC). Methods: 539 participants were recruited via Respondent-Driven Sampling in 2014-2016. Eligibility criteria included: ag…
I Don’t Believe a Person Has to Die When Trying to Get High

Interventions to increase harm reduction education and information about and access to fentanyl test strips and naloxone would be beneficial
How the rural risk environment underpins hepatitis C risk
The rural risk environment framework acknowledges the importance of community and structural factors that influence HCV infection and other disease transmission and care. We find that larger structural factors produce vulnerabilities and reduce access to resources, which negatively impact hepatitis C disease outcomes
Lessons from the First Wave of Covid-19 for Improved Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (Moud) Treatment
Background Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) are associated with important public health benefits. Program changes implemented in response to COVID-19 hold promise as ongoing strategies to improve MOUD treatment. Methods: MOUD patients on buprenorphine or methadone, providers, government regulators, and persons who use drugs not in MOUD were recruited in the Northeast region of the United States between June and October of 2020 via adver…

Acceptability and Effectiveness of Hepatitis C Care at Syringe Service Programs for People Who Inject Drugs in New York City
Introduction/Objectives: The incidence of hepatitis C (HCV) infection is rising among people who inject drugs (PWID). Even in the context of known HCV prevention and treatment strategies, some PWID remain unengaged in HCV care. This study aimed to identify and characterize experiences and perceptions of PWID regarding the acceptability and effectiveness of HCV testing and treatment at a local syringe service program (SSP). Methods: A total of 36 …

PrEP Care Continuum Engagement Among Persons Who Inject Drugs
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a medication that prevents HIV acquisition, yet PrEP uptake has been low among people who inject drugs. Stigma has been identified as a fundamental driver of population health and may be a significant barrier to PrEP care engagement among PWID. However, there has been limited research on how stigma operates in rural and urban settings in relation to PrEP. Using in-depth semi-structured qualitative interviews (n …

Background: Often people assume that entry into drug treatment is a voluntary action for persons who use drugs (PWUD). This narrative informs the organizational and regulatory structure of most treatment programs and consequently affects patients' ability to exert agency over their own treatment. Yet, this view ignores the complex interplay between individual and structural factors in peoples' decision-making processes, particularly among people …

The Origins of and Possible Futures for Chaïm Perelman and Lucie Olbrechts-Tyteca's Dissociation of Concepts
This essay tells the story of Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca's “dissociation of concepts,” which they introduced in 1958 and is in use as a tool of criticism by many rhetorical critics. The story begins in England with John Locke's development of associative reasoning in 1770 and then moves to France, with Remy de Gourmont extending associative reasoning with the concept of dissociation in 1899. Gourmont's dissociation crosses the Atlantic and is …

Surface air temperature variability reconstructed with tree rings for the Gulf of Alaska over the past 1200 years
A 1200-year-long tree-ring width record from living and subfossil mountain hemlock wood is used to reconstruct February through August temperatures for the Gulf of Alaska, providing a record of past climate variability for the Northeast Pacific sector that captures interannual to centennial timescales. The moderate elevation at the tree-ring sites has allowed these trees to retain their temperature signal without evidence of the so-called diverge…
A pan-European summer teleconnection mode recorded by a new temperature reconstruction from the northeastern Mediterranean ( ad 1768–2008)
The dominant atmospheric circulation pattern that governs European summer climate is a blocking-like pattern over the British Isles that co-occurs with a low over southeastern Europe. The meridionally oriented configuration of this circulation pattern favours the intrusion of warm air over the northeastern Mediterranean during one mode and over northwestern Europe during its opposite mode. We present a summer temperature reconstruction (1768–2008…

The high‐resolution reconstruction of hemispheric‐scale temperature variation over the past‐millennium benchmarks recent warming against more naturally driven climate episodes, such as the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period, thereby allowing assessment of the relative efficacies of natural and anthropogenic forcing factors. Icons of past temperature variability, as featured in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports …
Innovative Approaches to Territorial Disputes
Many belligerents in ethno-territorial conflicts claim they have an absolute right to contested space, operate on a zero-sum basis, and use maximalist negotiation strategies. This article draws on ongoing fieldwork that examines ethno-territorial conflict and focuses on the transition from rights-based to needs-based negotiations over sites of worship, parading routes, and national borders. These three sites represent different scales and express…

The Emergence of the Socialist Movement in the Maritimes, 1899-1916
In the years after 1899 a small but vigorous socialist movement emerged in Canada's Maritime Provinces. This article describes the origins, activities, ideas and personalities of the early socialist movement in the region. The socialists gained support in the region's industrial centres and coal-mining districts and contributed a proportionate share of the national support enjoyed by the Socialist Party of Canada and the newspaper Cotton's Weekly…

Perceived Mistreatment and Emotional Capability Following Aggressive Treatment of Robots and Computers
Robots (and computers) are increasingly being used in scenarios where they interact socially with people. How people react to these agents is telling about the perceived empathy of such agents. Mistreatment of robots (or computers) by co-workers might provoke such telling reactions. This study examines perceived mistreatment directed towards a robot in comparison to a computer. This will provide some understanding of how people feel about robots …

Lucie Olbrechts-Tyteca's New Rhetoric
The New Rhetoric project featured an eleven-year collaboration between Lucie Olbrechts-Tyteca and Chaïm Perelman, which culminated with their 1958 magnum opus, Traité de l'argumentation: la nouvelle rhétorique. Scholars have long speculated about Olbrechts-Tyteca's role in the New Rhetoric project and her relationship with Chaïm Perelman. Building from the work of Barbara Warnick, a synchronic and diachronic analysis of their collaboration yields…
A Traumatic Reading of Twentieth-Century Rhetorical Theory
In this essay, I seek to read the rhetorical theories set forth by Belgians Chaïm Perelman and Paul de Man as responses to the Holocaust. To accomplish this aspiration, I draw from Dominick LaCapra's framework for the analysis of trauma and its expression in historical and theoretical texts. Reading the rhetorical theories of Perelman and de Man, two of the most prominent of the twentieth century, through a lens of trauma theory allows critics to…

We're Gonna Be Addressing Your Pepsi Use
Methadone Maintenance Treatment (MMT) in the United States has recently adopted an approach based on the principles of the Recovery movement - a view of treatment informed by addiction-as-disease models but also incorporating social, psychological, and spiritual components. Although organizations that administer drug treatment services claim that the shift represents a more client-centered, individualistic approach, it may not meet the needs of t…
The Reduction of Mass Atrocity Crimes in East Asia
ASEAN member states represent a region that has experienced a dramatic reduction in mass atrocity crimes in the last forty years. Scholars have identified three structural explanations for this reduction: the decrease in the use of mass atrocities as a tool of war, rising incomes, and the spread of democracy. The evolution of complex and contested human rights norms during this same period contributed significantly to the positive role played by …
Mongolian tree-rings, temperature sensitivity and reconstructions of Northern Hemisphere temperature
Much of northern Asia is lacking in high-resolution palaeoclimatic data coverage. This vast region thus represents a sizeable gap in data sets used to reconstruct hemispheric-scale temperature trends for the past millennium. To improve coverage, we present a regional-scale composite of four tree-ring width records of Siberian pine and Siberian larch from temperature-sensitive alpine timber-line sites in Mongolia. The chrono logies load closely in…

The Industrial Folk Song in Cape Breton
The study of folk song in Cape Breton is often associated with rural, preindustrial traditions, and the importance of the folk tradi tion in Cape Breton music has received considrable attention. Civen the strength of local traditions, it is not surprising to find that as Cape Bretoners made the transition to an industrial society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, traditions of song writing and performance remained part of the local cultu…

The Sad March to the Right
The resignation of J.B. McLachlan from the Communist Party of Canada in 1936 is one of the more controversial episodes in the biography of a well-known Canadian labour radical. He was one of the few party leaders to enjoy wide recognition and popular support. His resignation was a difficult personal decision as well as a significant episode in the history of the party. In previous accounts his resignation has been presented alternately as a repud…

I WOULD SIMPLY LIKE TO REFLECT on some of my experience in teaching labour history. I interpret the scope broadly and so I will make some comments on the satisfactions and frustrations of teaching labour history in three areas — the university, the labour movement and the wider public sphere.

The new rhetoric, Judaism, and post‐enlightenment thought
In search of justice, Chaim Perelman rediscovered the rhetorical tradition and reclaimed his Jewish identity after World War II. As an attempt to correct misreadings of Perelmanian thought and to situate the New Rhetoric as a response to post-Enlightenment and postmodern culture, I advance two arguments in this essay. First, Perelman's philosophy and the New Rhetoric project reflect his Jewish heritage and Talmudic habits of argument. Second, bec…
The Labour Stamp
IT IS OFTEN SAID that you can leam much about a country's history and culture from its postage stamps. Pierre Berton, for instance, has written that on postage stamps great milestones of the past in Canadian history all been recorded in miniature.

In a recent stud…

Long-Term Temperature Trends and Tree Growth in the Taymir Region of Northern Siberia
The northernmost conifers in the world are located well above the Arctic Circle in the Taymir region of northern Siberia and have been recording the thermal environment for centuries to millennia. The trees respond to temperatures beyond the narrow season of actual cambial cell division by means of root growth, photosynthesis, lignification of cell walls, and other biochemical processes. Data from annual tree-ring widths are used to reconstruct M…
