Survey Enthusiast or Obligated Responder
This paper explores population segments that differentiate people based on attitudes and perceptions about surveys and how those segments differ in survey participation intention. Our analysis finds 5 population segments across which general affinity toward surveys differs significantly. Survey Enthusiasts have high affinity toward surveys and underlying sense of civic responsibility to participate. Obligated Responders recognize the importance o…
Better Understanding Adult Covid-19 Vaccination Hesitancy and Refusal
Published surveys in the United States provide much evidence that COVID-19 vaccination is influenced by disease and vaccine-related risk perceptions. However, there has been little examination of whether individual's general beliefs about vaccines are also related to COVID-19 vaccination, especially among unvaccinated adults. This study used an August 2021 national survey of 1000 U.S. adults to examine whether general beliefs about vaccines were …

The reconstruction of past forest dynamics over the last 13,500 years in SW Sweden
Evidence for unbroken continuity of tree taxa over the last c. 13,500 years is presented from a biodiversity ‘hotspot’ nature reserve in south-west Sweden. Forest composition, continuity, fire and disturbance events are reconstructed using palaeoecological methods. A lake record reveals that Pinus sylvestris, Betula spp., Salix spp., Populus tremula and Hippophae rhamnoides were the initial trees scattered in a semi-open, steppe environment. This…
Will farmers work together for conservation? The potential limits of farmers’ cooperation in agri-environment measures
An approach to modelling the impact of prehistoric farming on Holocene landscape phosphorus dynamics
The lake sediment phosphorus (P) record at Hatch Mere (Cheshire, UK) is investigated to assess the role of human activity in modifying Holocene landscape P export dynamics, and to develop an approach to incorporating this effect into a pre-existing long-term, large-scale landscape model of natural P export. Analysis of the lake sediment record shows that the catchment P yield is low and constant prior to ca. 6000 BP, but then increases up to the …
Meso-scale barrier estuary disturbance, response and recovery behaviour
Establishing the future trajectories of coastal wetlands, especially the nature of their disturbance, response and recovery regimes, is of critical importance for a wide range of stakeholders and environmental managers. Reconstructing meso-scale behaviour in coastal environments can serve to attune coastal resource management strategies to natural scales of system operations, thus fostering genuine sustainability. Sediments from Pescadero Marsh, …
Modelling prehistoric land use and carbon budgets
An evaluation of modelled estimates for C release following early land clearance at the global level based on new model assumptions suggests that earlier studies may have underestimated its magnitude, chiefly because of underestimation of the mid-Holocene global population. Alternative information sources for population and land utilisation support both a greater total CO 2 release and a greater Neolithic contribution. Indeed, we show that the qu…
Climate and atmospheric circulation changes over the past 1000 years reconstructed from oxygen isotopes in lake-sediment carbonate from Ireland
A 1000 year long subdecadal-resolution record of carbonate oxygen isotopes (δ 18 O c ) from Lough-na-Shade, Ireland, provides evidence for changing atmospheric circulation over northwest Europe. The total range of δ 18 O c values (>5‰) is too large to be explained by changes in water temperature. Moreover, good correlation between the lake record and a previously published δ 18 O time series from an Irish speleothem indicates that the changes in …
Zero Banks
List-assisted random digit dialing (RDD) is commonly used for sampling telephone households in the United States. The sampling frame is landline one hundred-series banks with one or more listed telephone numbers. The exclusion of banks without listed numbers from this truncated design has been justified by a 1995 study which found only 3.7 percent of working household numbers in unlisted banks with no significant demographic biases [Brick et al. …
A multiproxy palaeolimnological investigation of Holocene environmental change, between c. 10 700 and 7200 years BP, at Holebudalen, southern Norway
Geochemical analyses (x-ray fluorescence, δ 13 C and C/N ratios) were used to reconstruct early Holocene environments (between 10685 and 7260 cal. yr BP) at a small lake near Holebudalen, southern Norway. Results show a period of increasing stability, with reduced catchment inwash (shown by titanium and potassium minerals), vegetation stabilization and increasing aquatic productivity (C/N ratios). However, periods of instability (loss on ignition…
Climate and surface water acidity
A simple generalized geochemical model is presented that predicts long-term mean lake water acidity from rock type, annual precipitation and temperature, aeolian dust supply and catchment to lake area ratio; all of which can be estimated from mapped data. The model provides a geochemical tool to aid palaeoenvironmental interpretation of diatom inferred lake pH records, and shows how the sensitivity of lake water acidity to climate change varies w…
Globalization, Media, and the Teacher-Activist's Response
While it has become commonplace for mainstream media outlets to offer report and commentary on trends in economic globalization, it is rare for these same media outlets to exhibit self-awareness with regards to how the media has developed the forces of globalization. In this article, five academics from disparate disciplines in the humanities and social sciences address this impact, describe the negative consequences that the globalization of med…
Loss of apatite caused irreversible early-Holocene lake acidification
Lakes created by retreating ice at the end of the last glaciation underwent rapid acidification during the first few thousand years of their existence, a phenomenon attributed in part to progressive leaching of soil bases since it was discovered more than 80 yeas ago. Though a role for leaching is still acknowledged, the most recent studies see this as subordinate to the effects of biological and climatic changes initiated by deglaciation, chiefl…
Changes in lake-sediment structure and composition caused by human impact
This research uses a comparison of the sediment record of Lake Martiska (NE Estonia) with well-documented historical changes in human impact to identify the factors dominantly affecting the sediment lithological composition, and the accumulation of heavy metals and other microelements into the sediments. To this end, comprehensive lithological-geochemical studies of the upper sediment were undertaken in 1986 and repeated in 2003 and 2005. Oil sha…
Psychological Sequelae Resulting From the 2004 Florida Hurricanes
Objectives. Data are limited regarding mental health effects of disasters such as hurricanes. We sought to determine the prevalence of and major risk factors associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), generalized anxiety disorder, and major depressive episode 6 to 9 months after the 2004 Florida hurricanes. Methods. Random-digit dialing was used to recruit a representative population sample of 1452 hurricane-affected adults. Results. P…
The late-Holocene history of Gormire Lake (NE England) and its catchment
Sedimentary evidence spanning the last 3500 years from cores taken from the centre of Gormire Lake, Cleveland, northeast England, points to two periods of deforestation and catchment erosion. The first, mainly late Iron Age/Romano-British phase, began c. 200 BC and ended c. AD 600. The second began c. AD 1200, the time of early Monastic activity, and continued into the nineteenth century. The chronology for the core rests on 137 Cs, 210 Pb and 14…

Human impact on the history of Lake Nômmejärv, NE Estonia
A comprehensive geochemical and palaeobotanical study of the lacustrine sediments of Lake Nôm mejärv from industrialized NE Estonia establishes the links between the nature and intensity of human activities and their impacts on the state and structure of the lake ecosystem. In cores of sediment formed during the last century, five zones can be distinguished, each reflecting a pattern of human activity and characterized by a particular diatom comm…
The Intracity Distribution of Services
Significant differences in the distribution of public resources among neighborhoods within the same municipality have been repeatedly reported in the literature. Previous researchers have generally concluded that these differences in the distribution of governmental benefits represent “unpatterned inequality” produced by idiosyncratic events and bureaucratic decision rules. This study of the distribution of municipal expenditures for public servi…
