Association between tobacco company corporate social responsibility claims, support for the company and policies, and perceptions and intentions among Brazilians

Specifically, it assessed whether exposure to a fictional tobacco company’s corporate social responsibility video affects viewers’ opinions of the company, perceptions of cigarette and e-cigarette harm, and intentions to use these products. An online randomized e…
Waterpipe tobacco and public health
Findings reveal widespread concern about health risks and strong interest in the regulation of WTS in the media. A significant portion of articles discussed misconceptions about WTS, highlighting the need for targeted education campaigns to dispel myths and protect public health
Tobacco industry influence on breast cancer research, policy and public opinion
The CTR and TI Records are a rich source of documents related to tobacco industry efforts to influence breast cancer research, policy and public opinion away from any aetiologic relationship between tobacco use and breast cancer
Identifying key barriers and facilitators to implementing a WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control-guided tobacco control policy in Mexico
The tobacco industry remains the biggest barrier to implementation, using legal and economic arguments to weaken regulations and shifting venues to the judicial branch to undermine enforcement efforts. Lack of resources and legal delays remain key barriers. Financial and technical support and communicating the economic importance of tobacco control can help uphold strong regulations. More efforts are needed to educate judicial systems to protect …
Co-Producing Resources to Improve Parenting
The participation of families in socio-educational processes is a key topic in applied research, offering new strategies for family support. However, active participation in the research process itself remains a challenge. This study aims to define a participatory research process with mothers at social risk to co-produce a resource aimed at improving parenting skills. A qualitative, participatory approach was used with a peer research process, f…
The use of shaped stone balls to extract marrow
Technological skills associated with the Paleolithic culture have been explored extensively in recent years, with regard to the production of stone tools. Aspects of skill related to the use of these tools, however, have yet to be comprehensively explored. In this paper, we use a combined experimental-traceological approach to explore aspects of skill in the use of Lower Paleolithic (LP) shaped stone balls (SSBs) as percussion tools for marrow ex…
The Perfect Storm
The Mexican experience illustrates the importance of continued health advocacy and political will in adopting FCTC-based policies. Other countries should follow Mexico's lead by collecting and sharing data through coordinating efforts in order to be prepared to seize political opportunity windows when strong political will is present

Methods. We reviewed tobacco control laws in AMRO from the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids’ Tobacco Control Laws database. We analyzed four sub-policy areas for smoked and smokeless tobacco products: 1) health warni…

Toward a Professional Development Model for Writing as a Digital, Participatory Process
In this formative experiment, the authors focused on developing professional development for upper elementary school teachers and investigating how it was integrated into teachers’ instruction to improve their ability to make writing a more digital, participatory process. Theoretical perspectives pertaining to technology use in education specify that this instruction should emphasize students creating rather than consuming information from media …
Media, Multimodalidade, Sexo E Política
El artículo explora los procesos de construcción discursiva multimodal de la imagen de Cristina F. de Kirchner en las tapas de la Revista Noticias. A lo largo del texto se analiza cómo se construyen y (re)producen, con particular énfasis, aquellos significados vinculados a los lugares comunes y las representaciones e identidades genéricas hegemónicas. Se puede observar en las conclusiones cómo se actualizan en la Revista Noticias los procesos sem…
Experimental study on flint hammerstone use in Discoid-Levallois technologies
The basins of the Manzanares and Jarama rivers have been connected to human activity since the early Palaeolithic. At the boundary between these rivers the abundance of flint has given place to exploitation and mining activities even in historical times. In recent years, projects related to urban expansion in the southeast of Madrid have brought to light various Palaeolithic deposits associated with workshops and tool production. These sites do n…
The Attenuating Effect of Empowerment on IPV-Related PTSD Symptoms in Battered Women Living in Domestic Violence Shelters
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is associated with significant psychological distress, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, factors that attenuate the impact of IPV on PTSD remain largely unknown. Using hierarchical regression, this investigation explored the impact of resource acquisition and empowerment on the relationship between IPV and PTSD. Empowerment demonstrated greater relative importance over resource acquisition. S…
Battered Women’s Perceptions of Civil and Criminal Court Helpfulness
Although most battered women seeking formal help have some contact with court, limited research exists on what they find helpful and harmful about these experiences. Using qualitative data from low-income, largely Black battered women, this study finds that issues related to court outcomes, such as case disposition and enforcement, are important to evaluations of helpfulness. More frequently mentioned, however, are court processes, including trea…
The mediating role of empowerment for African American women experiencing intimate partner violence
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a significant societal problem associated with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and depression, which in turn can cause impairment in a variety of areas. Previous research suggests that African American women experience more frequent and severe IPV than White women, yet report fewer PTSD symptoms related to their abuse. One proposed explanation for this relationship is that African American women are more re…
Arte rupestre paleolítico en el yacimiento solutrense de La Cueva de Ambrosio (Vélez-Blanco, Almeria)
En el yacimiento solutrense de La Cueva de Ambrosio se han encontrado durante las campañas de 1992 y 1994 un conjunto de representaciones artísticas parietales pintadas y grabadas del Paleolítico Superior. Entre los grabados del panel I, se ha descifrado una excelente silueta de caballo, una representación de ave, unos protomos de bóvido y de caballo, así como otros trazos todavía no interpretados. En la parte inferior del panel existen pinturas,…
