Validity Evidence for Using Virtual, Interactive Patient Encounters to Teach and Assess Clinical Reasoning for First-Year Medical Students
Stepping Back: How Should Pass/Fail Scoring Influence Step 1 Timing
Although most students complete Step 1 before clerkships, some institutions delay the exam until after clerkships. The change to pass/fail grading adds additional complexity that should be considered when deciding about exam timing. Both early and late administration may affect learning outcomes, learner behavior, student well-being, and residency match success. Step 1 completion before clerkships promotes learning outcomes (e.g., integration and…
The legal poverty lines in Brazil: Contributions from a human rights-based approach to poverty
This article addresses the following theoretical and practical problem: Are the legal poverty lines adopted in Brazil adequate for measuring and, through public policies, tackling poverty and promoting the realisation of human rights for everyone in the country? Thus, it aims to analyse the legal poverty lines adopted in Brazil from a human rights-based perspective on multidimensional poverty and to critique the criteria used in setting those thr…

When cities broke into the global stage: 20 Years since the publication of ‘Cities and Climate Change
This short symposium revisits the book Cities and Climate Change by Harriet Bulkeley and Michelle Betsill and its role in establishing cities as central actors in climate change governance. The contributors to this symposium reflect on the research themes and the book’s legacy from their disciplinary perspectives. The first response explores the tensions between the elevation of cities as sites for climate action and the persistent lack of state …
The Construction of a Human Development Index at the Household Level and the Measurement of Human Development Disparities in Punjab (Pakistan)
The key objectives of this research study are to construct a valid and reliable household-based Human Development Index (HDI) and to estimate human development disparities in 36 districts of Punjab (Pakistan) by analysing Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey microdata. The household-level HDI, a composite index, is constructed by applying the arithmetic mean of the household-level health, asset, and education indices. The district of Lahore, among a…
Learning from Our Mistakes: Epistemology for the Real World
In this brilliantly conceived volume, William Talbott takes aim at the ‘Proof Paradigm’, composed of five erroneous principles, which as he sees it has dominated Western epistemology since the ancient Greeks, and proposes to replace it with a superior alternative, one that involves on his part daring speculation about the metaphysical necessity of the principles of proper reasoning. One may at first glance be inclined to dismiss Talbott's project…

Redressing Historical Injustice: Self-Ownership, Property Rights and Economic Equality
A Monte Carlo Study of Some Empirical Methods to Find the Optimal Poverty Line in Multidimensional Poverty Measurement
A key problem in multidimensional poverty measurement is how to identify the optimal poverty line, or threshold value, in order to split the ‘poor’ and ‘not poor’ groups. Intersection approaches aim to set a cut-point k for deprivation distribution and a cut-point Z for income/expenditure distributions. Union approaches require a unique k threshold for the combined distribution of income and deprivation and measures based only on the deprivation …

Objective Imperatives: An Exploration of Kant's Moral Philosophy
Kant is hardly an unappreciated philosopher, but in Objective Imperatives, the eminent Kant scholar Ralph Walker argues persuasively that the strength of Kant's account of the objectivity of morality and his defence of free will have not been sufficiently recognised and that Kant's views about these topics may well be true, or close to it. If one asks why the force of what Kant says has not been fully realised, then Walker blames Kant himself. Th…

Facial Expression of Tipi Personality and CHMP-Tri Psychopathy Traits in Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes): Evidence for Honest Signalling
Honest signalling theory suggests that humans and chimpanzees can extract socially relevant information relating to personality from the faces of their conspecifics. Humans are also able to extract information from chimpanzees' faces. Here, we examine whether personality characteristics of chimpanzees, including measures of psychopathy, can be discerned based purely on facial morphology in photographs. Twenty-one chimpanzees were given naïve and …
The World According to Kant: Appearances and Things in Themselves in Critical Idealism
Anja Jauernig here addresses with great scholarship and philosophical insight a central issue in the interpretation of the Critique of Pure Reason: ‘The project of this book is to develop a comprehensive account of Kant's theoretical views in his theoretical critical philosophy or, perhaps more accurately, of the ontological implications of his theoretical critical philosophy. More specifically, my aim will be to sort out Kant's views on the natu…
Socioeconomic-Related Inequalities in Covid-19 Vulnerability in South Africa
Individuals' vulnerability to the risk of COVID-19 infection varies due to their health, socioeconomic, and living circumstances, which also affect the effectiveness of implementing non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs). In this study, we analysed socioeconomic-related inequalities in COVID-19 vulnerability using data from the nationally representative South African General Household Survey 2019. We developed a COVID-19 vulnerability index, wh…
Documenting Pornography Use in America: A Comparative Analysis of Methodological Approaches
Estimates of pornography use in the United States range widely. We explore the reasons for the variation in such estimates among U.S. adults using data from four different recent nationally representative samples-each of which asked a different type of question about pornography use. We attribute the notable variation in estimates to differences in question wording and answer options, and assert that a survey question asking respondents about the…
Improving the measurement of material deprivation at the European Union level
In June 2010, European Union (EU) Heads of State and Government adopted a social inclusion target as part of the new ‘Europe 2020 Strategy’: to lift at least 20 million people in the EU from the risk of poverty and exclusion by 2020. One of the three indicators used to monitor progress towards this target is the EU indicator of severe material deprivation (MD). A main limitation of this indicator is the weak reliability of some of the items it is…
Housing Deprivation and Health: A Longitudinal Analysis
While there is a longitudinal literature that considers the impact of poor socio-economic circumstances upon health, the more specific impact of poor housing upon health is much less frequently studied longitudinally. This paper draws on the National Child Development Study to examine the impact upon health of poor housing through the life course. The analysis takes the novel approach of constructing a composite severity of ill health measure to …
Relative deprivation: A comparative analysis of Britain, Finland and Sweden
Our aim is to analyse both the incidence and distribution of economic hardship in three countries - Finland, Britain and Sweden - using measures of relative deprivation. The study represents a unique endeavour as our comparisons are based not on income data but on direct observations of consumption of goods and services. The method applied has been developed from the consensual poverty approach pioneered by Mack and Lansley (1985). Hence, what we…

Census based deprivation indices: Their weighting and validation
KEY ISSUES--Over one hundred years of social science research has shown that different social groups have different probabilities of suffering from multiple deprivation; yet census based deprivation indices frequently assign equal weightings to each of their component variables. This becomes highly problematic when these indices are used as the basis for allocating resources to local and health authorities. In order to ensure fairness and accurac…
Towards an EU measure of child deprivation
This paper proposes a new measure of child material and social deprivation (MSD) in the European Union (EU) which includes age appropriate child-specific information available from the thematic deprivation modules included in the 2009 and 2014 waves of the "EU Statistics on Income and Living Conditions" (EU-SILC). It summarises the main results of the in-depth analysis of these two datasets, identifies an optimal set of robust children MSD items …

The Marxian renaissance has involved some theoretical tussles with the earlier Marxist orthodoxy. These theoretical reformulations have necessa…
Mousterian Tool Selection, Reduction, and Discard at Ghar, Israel
A recently-proposed model relating to the reduction of Mousterian stone tools is tested and elaborated in order to satisfy data derived from the relatively small collection of Ghar, a Mousterian rock shelter in the J udean Hills. Observations are also made with regard to selection patterns of blanks intended for retouch. At Ghar tools apparently were selected and retouched with an emphasis either on a sharp distal point or on a long lateral edge.…

Housing affordability effects on physical and mental health: Household survey in a population with the world’s greatest housing affordability stress

Poverty and Place in Britain, 1968-99
To date, analyses of long-term trends in the spatial distribution of poverty in Britain have been frustrated by a lack of consistency in definitions, data sources and measures, as well as by changes over time in census and administrative geographies. This paper draws upon a series of national poverty surveys in order to derive methodologically consistent estimates of breadline and core poverty. These models are then applied to census data in orde…
The Position of Former Council Homes in the Housing Market
The Right to Buy for council tenants has now been in operation for 14 years. In that time around 1.5m public-sector dwellings in England have transferred to the owner-occupied sector. Most discussion of this process has focused on the impact on the public sector. This paper examines the contribution of council house sales to the recent growth of home ownership and price relationships between former council homes and other dwellings in the market.…
Two Views of Capitalist Stagnation: Underconsumption and Challenges to Capitalist Control
this: capitalist economic crisis may occur either because the capitalist class is or because it is weak.1 When the capitalist class is too strong it shifts the income distribution in its favor, reducing the ratio of working-class consumption to national income and rendering the economy prone to crises of underconsumption or in more contemporary Keynesian terms a failure of aggregate demand. When the capitalist class is too weak, the working class…
Precursors to Red Rubber: Violence in the Congo Free State, 1885-1895
This article complicates historical understandings of the extreme violence of late nineteenth-century European colonialism by examining African agency in the build up to the most notorious case of such violence, the “red rubber” regime of King Leopold’s Congo Free State. Through a close study of the influential warlord, Ngongo Luteta, his followers, and their relationships with Congo Free State officials, the article demonstrates how extremely vi…

Examining the changing profile of undernutrition in the context of food price rises and greater inequality
This paper examines how the profile of undernutrition among children in two African countries (Ethiopia and Nigeria) changed over the period of the 2007/08 food, fuel and financial crisis. Using the Composite Index of Anthropometric Failure (CIAF), an indicator which allows for a comprehensive assessment of undernutrition in young children, we examine what changes occurred in the composition of undernutrition, and how these changes were distribut…

Modern dance makes more choreographers, I believe, than ballet does. A conventional modern dance company is a very small group working with the specific ideas of a single artist. There are a limited number of these situations and an extraordinary number of dancers in training. It is not always difference in ideology or the compulsive need to explore a single vision that produces a new modern dance choreographer. It is simply expedient to create a…

Is the Argument from Evil Decisive
Dale Lugenbehl, in ‘Can the Argument from Evil Be Decisive After All?’ provides a powerful defence of the argument from evil against several theistic objections to it. In my opinion, however, he has failed to prove his case. The question of the consistency of the amount of evil existing in the world with the existence of God remains, after Lugenbehl's argument, exactly where it was before – in a state of uncertainty
