Impact of Beliefs and Arts on the Cultural Landscapes: The Case of Wat Chedi’s Stucco Chickens of Thailand
Since ancient times, sacred power beliefs have been an element of human culture. The beliefs in prayers and vows stem from the people's desire for stability and spiritual dependency, as well as from those passed down from generation to generation. These are frequently based on numerous legends relating to the locations. This article examines the belief in making a pledge to Ai Khai of Wat Chedi in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, Thailand, with a st…
Links Between Childhood Abuse, Insidious Trauma, and Methamphetamine Use Across the Lifespan Among Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men: A Qualitative Analysis
Developmental and lifespan examinations of methamphetamine use among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBM) remain limited. We used a feminist trauma framework to examine potential links between childhood trauma, trauma-related stressors, and methamphetamine use among GBM. From June 2018 to October 2018, semi-structured interviews (N = 33) were conducted with GBM across British Columbia. Interviews focused on sexual experiences,…
Understanding and assessing uncertainty of observational climate datasets for model evaluation using ensembles
In climate science, observational gridded climate datasets that are based on in situ measurements serve as evidence for scientific claims and they are used to both calibrate and evaluate models. However, datasets only represent selected aspects of the real world, so when they are used for a specific purpose they can be a source of uncertainty. Here, we present a framework for understanding this uncertainty of observational datasets which distingu…
Using a Cognitive Behavioral Framework to Train Staff Serving Individuals Who Experience Chronic Homelessness
Training in evidence‐based practices may better prepare providers to address the effect of behavioral health concerns on chronic homelessness. Through the Beck Initiative, a community–academic partnership, case managers ( n = 19) were selected to incorporate a cognitive‐behavioral therapy (CBT) framework into services for chronic homelessness at seven sites in Philadelphia, PA. Details of the training components and development are presented. Thi…

Excavation of a Neolithic occupation site at Chepelfield, Cowie, Stirling
Pits and oval structures dating from the Meso to the Early and Mid Neo. Pottery and lithics also present. Later Beaker pot radiocarbon dated to 3050--2450 cal BC. There are separately authored reports on
Excavation of an Iron Age and Romano-British enclosure at Woodend Farm, Johnstonebridge, Annandalw, 1994 and 1997
Excavations were undertaken at a multi-vallate enclosure in advance of the construction of an extension of the M6 motorway. Geophysical survey and excavation revealed a third bank beyond two upstanding banks. Within the interior, seven separate blocks of superimposed buildings were observed, together with an eighth, single-phase structure interpreted as an animal pen. Artefacts were few, consisting of worked stones and querns, while the radiocarb…
Probing suspicion among participants in deception research
Deception is a popular and useful technique for examining a variety of important social psychological phenomena. Indeed, deception has proved to be indispensable in studying and establishing causality within a variety of important human social phenomena (e.g., aggression, prejudice, obedience, conformity, impression management). Upwards of 81% of studies published in the top social psychological journals use deception in their procedures (Adair, …

An Application of Dimensional Analysis in Cultural Anthropology
Lawlike generalizations can be developed only for variables exhibiting strict constancy in concept formulation. By considering anthropology a space and its basic concepts as dimensions and borrowing from ecology, cultural materialism, and social, political, and cultural anthropology, we develop a 14-dimensional space defined by 42 scaled variables. Dimensional analysis performed yields 14 equations and 28 dimensionless expressions that satisfy th…
Food Taboos, Diet, and Hunting Strategy: The Adaptation to Animals in Amazon Cultural Ecology [and Comments and Reply]
The issue of food prohibitions on such Amazonian game animals as deer is examined from an ecological perspective, in contrast to previous symbolic or structuralist views on this subject. Examined in conjunction with settlement pattern, technology, animal behavior, and habitat productivity, which together determine the food-extraction potential of a population, the avoidance of certain inherently edible species by characterizing them as inebible i…
