Co‐Designing AI ‐Generated Vaping Awareness Materials With Adolescents and Young Adults: A Qualitative Study
Exploring Harm Reduction Advice for Prescription Stimulants on Reddit
Psychostimulants such as amphetamine salts and methylphenidate are commonly prescribed for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, their nonmedical use is also prevalent. Both medical and nonmedical use of these substances can lead to a range of side effects. Despite this, there is limited research on harm reduction strategies employed by users of prescription stimulants. This study, therefore aimed to explore t…
The closed carbon cycle in a managed, stable Anthropocene
The striking influence humans are exerting on their environment will likely result in the stabilization of a new climatic equilibrium of the Anthropocene, possibly without historical precedent. Many conceivable outcomes would reshape the planet's biodiversity. If the Earth-human interaction is to endure in its current state, which still shares characteristics with the Holocene, one necessary development is that humans close the various biogeochem…
Buy High, Sell Low”: A Qualitative Study of Cryptocurrency Traders Who Experience Harm
The constant, substantial price fluctuations of cryptocurrency allow traders to engage in highly speculative trading that closely resembles gambling. With significant financial loss associated with adverse mental health outcomes, it is important to investigate the impact that market participation has on mental health. Therefore, we conducted interviews with 17 participants who self-reported problems due to trading. Thematic analysis was conducted…
Cryptocurrency trading, mental health and addiction: A qualitative analysis of reddit discussions
Background: The volatility and 24/7 nature of the cryptocurrency market allows traders to engage in highly speculative trading patterns that closely resemble gambling. Considering its potential for addiction and economic loss, it is important to investigate the impact that cryptocurrency trading has on mental health. Therefore, we analyzed Reddit discussions regarding mental health, gambling, and addiction from members of the discussion board, r/…

Changes in patterns of youth multiple tobacco and/or e-cigarette product use in the US between 2014 and 2020: A multiple-group latent class analysis
There was an increase in regular e-cigarette use in all three classes, but a corresponding decrease in the proportion of MTEP use. Public health interventions to discourage uptake of e-cigarettes, such as tighter restrictions on marketing to minors, are warranted and there is a need to consider disparities in the determinants of MTEP use
A Historian in Context
Walter Prescott Webb (1888–1963) was, during his life, a towering figure in the US historical profession, particularly among those interested in the West. The author of four major scholarly works and the editor of many influential volumes (including the Handbook of Texas, which he established, and the Southwestern Historical Quarterly), Webb received two Guggenheim Fellowships and numerous honorary degrees. He served as President of the American …
Reconceptualising health security in post-Covid-19 world
While drawing upon the existing literature and policy documents on health security and its practice at the national and global levels, this article shows that the idea of health security has mostly remained rhetoric or at the most conceptualised and operationalised within the narrow Westphalian tradition of protecting nation states from external threats. By undertaking a critical examination of the national security strategies of some powerful G-…
American Environmentalism And The Visage Of A Second Gilded Age
The moniker “Gilded Age” invokes questions of wealth, class, and political economy. When paired with a subsequent “Progressive Era,” as in the name of this journal and the society that sponsors it, the implication is that economic developments after the Civil War gave rise to pressing questions of workplace safety, income distribution, monopoly, and the like, which reform and protest movements rightly sought to rectify. Whether to invoke the Gild…
Greg Grandin. The End of the Myth: From the Frontier to the Border Wall in the Mind of America
In the arresting and original The End of the Myth: From the Frontier to the Border Wall in the Mind of America, Greg Grandin argues that the contemporary politics of the U.S.-Mexico border mark the end of one of the United States’ most influential and protean cultural myths, that of the frontier. For more than a century, he argues, “the frontier served as a powerful symbol of American universalism,” conveying movement and openness, but also the p…
Pueblos within Pueblos: Tlaxilacalli Communities in Acolhuacan, Mexico, ca. 1272-1692
"Systematically analyzing tlaxilacalli history over four centuries, beginning with their rise at the dawn of the Aztec empire through their transformation into "pueblos" of mid-colonial New Spain. Before the Aztecs rise, commoners in pre-Hispanic central Mexico set the groundwork for a new style of imperial expansion."
Agrarian Crossings: Reformers and the Remaking of the U.S. and Mexican Countryside
The shared economic crisis of the Great Depression engulfed Mexico and the United States in the 1930s, with particular severity in the countryside. In both countries, reformist governors (Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York and Lázaro Cárdenas of Michoacán) came to presidential power on the basis of commitments to address the unprecedented crisis. As Tore C. Olsson shows in this outstanding book, the efforts of the Roosevelt and Cárdenas regimes to…

Negotiating North America’ New National Borders
The introductory essay of this volume refers to the ‘diluvial proportions’ of the literature on borders and borderlands in North American history, a description that might with equal justice be applied to the entire historiography of the United States and the imperial currents from which it emerged in the late eighteenth century. Like US historiography as a whole, the body of work on North American borderlands simultaneously benefits and suffers …

The Plan de San Diego: Tejano Rebellion, Mexican Intrigue
The Plan de San Diego, a 1915 manifesto that proposed a rebellion against US rule in the American Southwest, has attracted sustained scholarly attention since the 1950s. The uprising associated with the Plan began as a series of raids on ranches, irrigation works, and railroads by ethnic Mexicans and quickly developed into a full-blown regional rebellion, in which a small guerrilla army battled local posses, Texas Rangers, and the thousands of fe…

Cortina: Defending the Mexican Name in Texas
Ever since September 1859, when he led a daring raid into the young border city of Browns-ville, Texas, Juan Cortina has been enshrined in the folklore of the lower U.S.-Mexico border as a valiant opponent of Anglo hegemony and racial chauvinism. Jerry Thompson’s biography is not only the most thorough and exhaustively researched treatment of Cortina to date, but it also breaks new ground in placing Cortina’s political and military exploits in th…

The Changing 'Face' of the Suburbs: Issues of Ethnicity and Residential Change in Suburban Vancouver
In recent years Richmond, British Columbia, a quintessential middle class suburb of Vancouver, has seen its Chinese immigrant population grow significantly; a change that has not gone uncontested by a largely 'white' European incumbent population. This long-established suburban neighbourhood provides an opportunity to examine contested place imagery and a discourse of racism that is shaping spatial relations in ways that depart from earlier discu…

Problems and Prospects in North American Borderlands History
Scholars of North American borders have raised fundamental questions about the relationship between the discipline of history and the nation‐state. Integrating the histories of the U.S.‐Canadian and U.S.‐Mexican borders while paying more attention to the limits of national power will allow them to write accounts of modern state‐making that address questions important to all historians of the modern world

The White Scourge: Mexicans, Blacks, and Poor Whites in Texas Cotton Culture
This ambitious and graceful work traces the interactions between Mexicans, whites, and blacks in central Texas from the turn of the century to the 1930s. As the number of Mexicans migrating to Texas sharply increased with the start of the 1910 revolution, cotton production in the region simultaneously shifted from small owners, tenant farmers, and sharecroppers to larger enterprises dependent on wage labor. Neil Foley asks how these three groups …
