Taj Mahals of Decaying Shacks
Despite growing interest in the condition of school facilities as a dimension of school finance adequacy, reliable measures of capital stock for large samples of schools are hard to come by.

The Irish and their Nation
In a series of essays published in the months preceding the Easter Rising of 1916, Pádraic Pearse expressed his thoughts about the Irish people and their nation. Echoing a sentiment that many in his day embraced, he wrote, ‘Irish nationality is an ancient spiritual tradition, and the Irish nation could not die as long as that tradition lived in the
Effects of Treatment History and Centralized Intake on Drug Treatment Outcomes
This study assesses differences between first-time treatment clients (n=90) and repeat treatment clients (n=361), including whether entering treatment through a central intake unit affects outcomes differently for the two groups. Interview data were collected at baseline, one-month and 12-month follow-up. Study groups were similar in gender, race and age, but repeat treatment participants were more educated, more likely to primarily use heroin an…

Revisiting Group Attachment
The study of ethnic and national identity, owing to the complex interaction between individuals, groups, and systems, has not remained confined to traditional disciplinary boundaries. In particular, a branch of social‐psychological research has provided insight into the most fundamental aspect of this phenomenon, subjective bonds between individuals and groups. Here, data derived from a Q‐methodological study of Basque national identity are used …
Patterns of identity
Subjectivity is an integral component of ethnicity and nationalism and its continued examination remains vital for understanding the appeal that the nation holds for the individual. In this Q methodological study 30 statements regarding attachment to the Basque nation were administered to 31 self‐defined Basques to uncover ways in which that ethnic community identifies with its nation. Following Q sorting and factorial rotation, two distinct form…
