The Secondary Sex Ratio and Male Mortality at Pre‐Reproductive Ages
OBJECTIVES: The secondary sex ratio (i.e., the ratio of male to female live births; hereafter referred to as the SSR) falls in populations encountering ambient stressors. Much theory and some empirical work indicates that males born to low SSR cohorts may be "positively selected" in that excess culling in utero may correspond with greater than expected survival among live-born males in that cohort. We extend prior work by testing, in historical U…
Disparities in Long-Term Mortality Following Bariatric Surgery Between Hispanic and Non-Hispanic White Patients
Lean legacy, heavy heritage
Substantial intergenerational transmission of diabetes mellitus (DM) risk exists. However, less is known regarding whether parental DM and DM among extended family members relate to adult offspring’s body mass index (BMI), and whether any of these associations vary by sex. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth 1997 cohort (NLSY97), we assess the sex-specific relationship between DM present in first-degree parents and second-deg…

Prognostic factors for rural endometrial cancer patients in a population-based cohort
Rural endometrial cancer patients in Utah were older at diagnosis, had higher grade and higher comorbidities. While urban and rural endometrial cancer patients shared many prognostic factors, the risk of mortality is greater among rural patients with advanced stage endometrial cancer. Future studies should examine where patients are receiving treatment and how that impacts their survival and how to reduce the mortality rates of high risk patients

Taxation
Taxation is normally defined in terms of any contribution to revenue, normally raised by a state, on persons or property or both. However, this entry argues that taxation should be carefully distinguished from other ways in which the state can raise revenue, for example tribute or import duties, since not all forms of state revenue have the same implications for citizenship rights and obligations and that, in particular, it is necessary to carefu…
Active Transportation on a Complete Street
Few studies of walkability include both perceived and audited walkability measures. We examined perceived walkability (Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale-Abbreviated, NEWS-A) and audited walkability (Irvine-Minnesota Inventory, IMI) measures for residents living within 2 km of a "complete street"-one renovated with light rail, bike lanes, and sidewalks. For perceived walkability, we found some differences but substantial similarity betwee…
Childhood socioeconomic status, adult socioeconomic status, and old-age health trajectories
The paper advances literature on earlier-life socioeconomic status (SES) and later-life health in a number of ways, including conceptualizing later-life health as a developmental process and relying on objective rather than retrospective reports of childho
Occupation and fertility on the frontier
BACKGROUND: Most of what we know about fertility decline in the United States comes from aggregate (often state or county level) data sources. It is difficult to identify variation in fertility change across socio-economic classes in such data, although understanding such variation would provide deeper insight into the history of the fertility transition. OBJECTIVE: centuries. METHODS: Our evidence comes from the Utah Population Database, which c…

Operationalizing Max Weber's probability concept of class situation
In this essay I take seriously Max Weber's astonishingly neglected claim that class situation may be defined, not in categorial terms, butprobabilistically. I then apply this idea to another equally neglected claim made by Weber that the boundaries of social classes may be determined by the degree of social mobilitywithinsuch classes. Taking these two ideas together I develop the idea of a non-categorial boundary 'surface' between classes and of …

Contextualizing Business Ethics
The objective of this paper is to explore how the current interest in Business Ethics can be located within an analysis of contemporary society which takes into account the prevalence of moral uncertainty along with the concomitant desire to (re)establish some form of normative order. As such, Business Ethics may be seen as a socially constructed "field" of study which reflects broader changes and controversies within society. Yet as a body of kn…

Excavation of a Bronze Age Unenclosed Cemetery, Cairns, and Field Boundaries at Eaglestone Flat, Curbar, Derbyshire, 1984, 1989–1990
Excavations at Eaglestone Flat, on the gritstone eastern uplands of the Peak District, have revealed a Bronze Age cremation cemetery associated with a number of contemporaneous stone structures built for ritual and agricultural purposes. Some of the burials were within urns, mostly cordoned. Others were simply placed in pits whilst still hot. A minority were deposited in direct association with small cairns, either placed under or within them. Th…

Winklebury Camp (SU61355290), an Iron Age 'plateau fort’, now of some 7.6 hectares (19 acres), is situated in the parish of Basingstoke, approximately 1 mile north-west of the town centre of Basingstoke, (fig. 1), though it is now surrounded by housing estates. It occupies a hill of Upper Chalk which has been isolated from the main mass of the North Hampshire Downs by two dry river valleys, one trending south-east, the other north-east. Both are …

A secure future for the Roystone Grange Archaeological Trail

The Changing past
E.H. Carr said: \u201cBefore you study the history, study the historian.\u201d Written history often tells us more about the historian's own times than it does of the times about which he is writing. The historians and the way in which each generation has rewritten history in the light of its own preoccupations is the subject of The Changing Past. This is the first book-length survey in English that covers all the main trends in South African his…
