Establishing the Reliability and Validity of the Caring Factor Survey—Caring for Self Among Protestant Clergy
Prescribed Fire Case Studies From Wyoming, USA: Diverse Applications and Common Themes at the Great Plains-Rocky Mountains Interface
Prescribed fire is an important management tool for rangelands and forests in North America and globally. However, the application of prescribed fire is a complex endeavor that involves significant planning, partnerships, and risk. Recent evidence suggests that not enough prescribed fire is being applied to reduce wildfires, in part, because risk and bureaucracy continue to hinder application. While common in the eastern and central Great Plains,…
The Use of HPLC-PDA in Determining Nicotine and Nicotine-Related Alkaloids from E-Liquids: A Comparison of Five E-Liquid Brands Purchased Locally
The amounts of NRAs present in E-liquids and E-liquid aerosol are less compared to cigarettes, however, inconsistencies and variation in nicotine concentrations supports the need for regulatory oversight
Shintoism
Shinto is both an invented religious tradition and one with authentic continuity linking the origins of Japanese civilization to the present day. Through the manipulations of clans and military power, a body of ritual practices focused on local deities and ancestral spirits developed into an imperial institution and, much later, into a destructive religious nationalism. Shinto is highly syncretic and interactive with a variety of Buddhist denomin…
Differences in Selected HIV Care Continuum Outcomes Among People Residing in Rural, Urban, and Metropolitan Areas—28 US Jurisdictions
PURPOSE: The HIV care continuum is used to monitor success in HIV diagnosis and treatment among persons living with HIV in the United States. Significant differences exist along the HIV care continuum between subpopulations of people living with HIV; however, differences that may exist between residents of rural and nonrural areas have not been reported. METHODS: We analyzed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National HIV Surveillan…
Diasporic Buddhisms and Convert Communities
This chapter explores issues of diasporic Buddhist movement and cultural adaptation, as well as how individuals affiliate with Buddhist denominations in diverse settings worldwide. One of the enduring features of religion worldwide is mobility. Ideas, concepts, practices, prohibitions, and cosmologies circulate beyond cultural and political boundaries in ways ranging from intentional to spontaneous. The transregional and multicultural dimensions …

Household Altars in Contemporary Japan: Rectifying Buddhist “Ancestor Worship” with Home Décor and Consumer Choice
In Japan, where organized religion is increasingly viewed with a critical eye, one of the country’s most enduring social and religious traditions—commemorating ancestral spirits—is undergoing rapid change. The highly competitive market for household altars is the source of innovative and sometimes radical concepts that represent a paradigm shift in how families and individuals should interact with ancestral spirits. No longer catering to guidelin…
Social Memory as Ritual Practice: Commemorating Spirits of the Military Dead at Yasukuni Shinto Shrine
For architects of citizenship and nationhood, there is no shortage of conflicts and wars from which to build modern myths about submerging individual suffering and loss to greater causes. The grief, anger, and despair of individuals can be integrated over time into collectively shared assumptions about the indebtedness of the living to their heroic compatriots and ancestors. To remember these conflicts and those who (depending on the political co…
From Battlefield to Atomic Bomb to the Pure Land of Paradise: Employing the Bodhisattva of Compassion to Calm Japan's Spirits of the Dead
56 years after the end of World War II, the spiritual condition of Japan's military and civilian casualties remains very much a present-day concern. This is relevant not only for bereaved families, but also for city governments, religious institutions, and the state. In 1995, a new 'hall of mourning for the spirits of the unknown dead (killed) in the atomic bombing' was constructed with public and private funds at the edge of the Peace Park in Na…
Thriving and Surviving in a New Medical Career: The Case of Hospitalist Physicians
Managed care is cultivating a variety of new work careers within the medical profession, and it is worth asking whether they will function as long- or shorter-term career options for the individuals who participate in them. This paper uses the specific case of hospitalist physicians to explore how the surrounding social and economic work contexts contribute to two individual-level outcomes that inform the issue of career longevity: the concepts o…
Myths, missions, and mistrust: The fate of Christianity in 16th and 17th century Japan
This article examines accepted opinion regarding the persecution and demise of Christian/Catholic missions in 16th and 17th century Japan. Many of the key issues associated with the encounter of European missionaries and Japanese feudal systems of authority and power resonate with contemporary interest in transculturalism, semantic slippage, personal agency, and the intimate interplay between religion, politics, and economics. Burdened with rigid…
Shifting Paradigms of Religion and the State: Implications of the 1997 Supreme Court Decision for Social, Religious and Political Change
The image of the apex of the Japanese legal system, as portrayed by file video clips on NHK evening news, has remained amazingly consistent over the years: poker-faced judges sit motionless in high-backed chairs, as if waiting to be taken to Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum. With such a stodgy and foreboding appearance, it is hard for us to imagine that exciting events might transpire within those solemn chambers. And yet occasionally a specific case …
Planning for Sustainable Forests in British Columbia through Land Use Zoning
Economic theory suggests that managing every hectare of forestland for multiple products, which is occurring in British Columbia, is inefficient. Using a case study for the Revelstoke area of the province, we demonstrate that spatially separating commercial timber activities from non-timber ones can lead to higher timber rents, while affording better environmental protection, including protection of critical wildlife habitat. Zoning provides an i…

Shinto ritual: Managing chaos in contemporary Japan
This paper addresses why an animistically-inspired system of ritual practices, structured around hazy notions of "chaos" and "order", remain viable in Japan for both the common person as well as for elites, based upon both ancient and "invented" rituals. Shinto religious practices would seem a likely candidate for extinction within Japan's hightech consumer society. And yet, it is commonplace that new cars be blessed at a shrine, that new residen…
