Conversations on Dictionaries: The Universe in a Book
How did dictionaries come to be? When and how did they originate in a specific language? Who was involved in that origin story? How have they evolved over time? What is the tension between scholarly and commercial, and between prescriptive and descriptive, dictionaries? What is the politics behind each dictionary? And what is the connection between dictionaries and nation-building? This fascinating book has the answers. It brings together a colle…

Soccer, globally known as Football, is widely considered the most popular sport globally with over 500 million active participants. In the United States (U.S.), soccer has experienced increased popularity in recent decades, currently boasting an estimated 14.7 million participants (1).

Language simplification in endangered languages: Inflectional categories of nouns and verbs in Eastern Huasteca Nahuatl and Wymysorys
The present paper examines a hypothetical correlation between language endangerment and the simplification of nominal and verbal inflections. After contrasting the complexities exhibited by two endangered languages (Eastern Huasteca Nahuatl and Wymysorys) with the complexities of their non-endangered predecessors (Older Nahuatl and Middle High German, respectively), the authors conclude that the endangerment-simplification entanglement cannot be …
Urban Security: From High-Intensity Crime to Large-Scale Combat Operations and Everything in Between
Virtual Urban Siege: Modern Urban Siege and Swarming in Culiacán 2019 & 2023
Modern urban siege is a metaphor for evolved urban campaigns. The template for such attacks draws from the tactics seen in the 26/11 Mumbai attack in 2008, and continued with the 2013 Westgate Mall attack in Kenya, the January 2015 Charlie Hebdo and Hyper Cacher attacks in Paris and the November 2015 attacks against the Stade de France and Bataclan. These virtual sieges employ swarming tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to provide a templ…
Lexical creativity in modern Nahuatl: An analysis of multidialectal data
Surveying digital musical instrument use in active practice
Digital musical instruments are frequently designed in research and experimental performance contexts but few are taken up into sustained use by active and professional musicians. To identify the needs of performers who use novel technologies in their practices, a survey of musicians was conducted that identified desirable qualities for instruments to be viable in active use, along with attributes for successful uptake and continued use of instru…
Catholics, Culture and the Renewal of Christian Humanism
If Catholic educators are to equip students to engage with contemporary culture in a way that is credible and winsome, they need first, to be able to draw upon the living tradition of their faith appreciatively, critically and creatively, and second, to articulate a renewed form of Christian humanism. This paper addresses the second of these prerequisites by taking two steps towards the development of a Christian humanism for our times. First, I …
Podcasting in Transition: Formalization and Its Discontents
Podcasting has thrived since its popularization in 2004 as a bastion for amateur media production. Over the past ten years, however, entrepreneurs and legacy media companies have rapidly expanded their interests in podcasting, bringing with them professional standards and the logics of capital. Breakout hits such as 2014’s Serial (with nearly 40 million downloads) and This American Life have demonstrated to both programmers and advertisers the po…

We focused on gaining an understanding of the physical health and mental health effects attributable to the Macondo oil spill. This is a report of a cross-sectional cohort study (wave 1) to establish 'baseline' findings and meant to provide descriptive information to be used for a multi-wave, longitudinal study. Gulf Coast Health Alliance: health Risks related to the Macondo Spill (GC-HARMS) uses a Community-Based Participatory Research approach,…
Empire, Colony, and Globalization. A Brief History of the Nahuatl Language
Empire, Colony, and Globalization. A Brief History of the Nahuatl LanguageThis paper is the first attempt to outline the cultural and sociopolitical history of Nahuatl, one of the most important native languages of America, beginning with preconquest times, focusing on its role in the Aztec empire, and continuing through the colonial period until the present. We discuss the most important elements of the Nahua writing tradition, its changes under…
Fair's Fair? Principles, Partisanship, and Perceptions of the Fairness of Campaign Rhetoric
This article considers the role of principles in perceptions of what constitutes acceptable rhetoric in election campaigns. Previous research suggests that citizens use principles of what is an acceptable attack in campaigns when evaluating charges and countercharges, while acknowledging that under some circumstances citizens accept rhetoric that would seem to breach their principles. This research has not adequately considered how partisanship c…

Religious faith in education: Enemy or asset
In this article I hope to cast some light on the relationship between religious faith and education by a preliminary mapping of the field. There are three parts to the article. First, I lay out the assumptions from which the rest of the article builds. Second, I seek to identify possible links between religion and education. As a sub-set of this, I explore a range of ways that theology might relate to education. Third, as a step towards a more he…
Health inequities in environmental justice communities: Relevant indicators to reflect a variety of health threats
Residents of environmental justice (EJ) communities often suffer significant health inequities due to pollutants and to adverse social conditions. However, methodologies for assessing such communities seldom account for both kinds of factors. While traditional environmental health risk assessments use single-pollutant, single-source measures of chronic risk alone, this project develops a technique for assessing "overall risk burden" in EJ communi…
The attitudes and opinions of high school sports participants: An exploratory empirical examination
Sport scholars and public commentators have long held both positive and critical opinions about the influence of athletic involvement on participants and their perceptions of the social world. Yet for all of the strong claims and deeply held assumptions, relatively little empirical data or social scientific analysis have been available. This study begins to address this deficiency using new data from a nationally representative survey of American…

La congregación como tecnología disciplinaria en el siglo XVI
Congregation, in its three modes of population concentration, municipalization and hierarchization of settlements, was a mechanism of spatial reorganization which distributed individuals and groups to different places and functions, and constituted the prerequisite step for the instituting of Latin American colonial subjection processes. Michel Foucault has stated that the application of capitalist disciplinary technologies began in Europe at the…
Religious Speech in the Public Square
I examine the reasons often given for restricting religious language to the private domain. Despite acknowledging their force, I argue that suppressing religious speech in public conversations is inherently dangerous, suggesting that such a policy undermines mutual trust and confidence, is corrosive of individual integrity and that such marginalization of religious language deprives social discussions of vital resources. Finally I propose a set o…
The Political Context of Tolerance: The United States and Israel
This article extends recent work on political tolerance to a cross-national context. In it we argue that a content-controlled measurement strategy is ideal for cross-cultural research, and we examine the dual processes of target group selection and of deciding the extent to which one tolerates target groups, once they are selected. We argue that the first process is rooted in concerns of social adjustment, and the second in externalization and ob…
What's Good for the Goose is Bad for the Gander: Negative Political Advertising, Partisanship, and Turnout
This study examines citizens' perceptions of fairness and legitimacy in political advertising. Using focus groups, an original national survey, and data on election 2000, as well as drawing on results from a replication of the national survey in 2004, we characterize political ads from the citizen's perspective. We then turn to the impact of "negative" advertising on voter turnout. Like several studies, we find circumstances under which turnout c…
Local Government and Community in Java: An Urban Case-Study
This book discusses the development and use of community as an instrument of government. It argues that the small local communities embracing most of Java's population are basically political constructions and elements of a modern capitalist order. Sullivan proposes that the practice demonstrates that it is more efficient to govern communal collectives than a smaller family or other household units, making it possible to control vast populations …
Kampung and State: The Role of Government in the Development of Urban Community in Yogyakarta
The Malay word kampung originally meant compound, but it has developed several meanings through the centuries. In Malaysia it commonly denotes village or rural settlement but in Indonesia is more often applied to urban areas. For most urban Javanese, however, it evokes home community. This article examines a relationship between kampung administrative units and kampung communities, as observed in the city of Yogyakarta

The Contribution of the Association of National Advertisers to Better Present Business Practices
ACTUALLY there are comparatively few industrial companies in which there can be said to be marketing practices. There are advertising methods, selling methods; as a rule-I am speaking of large and more advanced concerns in commercial operations-there is pretty consistent and well-defined combined and co-ordinated advertising-selling practice. The imaginary line between Advertising Land and the Kingdom of Sales has been, is being, crossed so often…

Measuring Stress in Police Officers
Based on interviews with all 27 members of a police department, 15 sources of stress were identified, such as lack of leadership, lack of support from the courts, and poor pay. Police officers rated each of these sources on a scale of stressfulness from one co four.' The stress of 63 male officers (M,,, = 33.3 yr., SD = 8.0) from two ocher small departments was not related to their ages (Pearson r = -0.05) or years of service ( r = -0.09). The of…

The portraits of Samuel Carnell: The representation of Ngāti Kahungunu in colonial photography
By 1870 the Māori had been in regular contact with Europeans for a hundred years. For thirty years they had weathered a massive population movement out of Europe that had rewritten the demography of New Zealand. During the 1860s the Māori had been engaged in a series of major wars with the British Crown. These finally tipped the balance of power in the islands in favour of the colonists. This period had witnessed a massive dislocation of Maori li…
Cubic Polyhedra
A cubic polyhedron is a polyhedral surface whose edges are exactly all the edges of the cubic lattice. Every such polyhedron is a discrete minimal surface, and it appears that many (but not all) of them can be relaxed to smooth minimal surfaces (under an appropriate smoothing flow, keeping their symmetries). Here we give a complete classification of the cubic polyhedra. Among these are five new infinite uniform polyhedra and an uncountable collec…
