A multi-proxy study of changing environmental conditions in a Younger Dryas sequence in southwestern Manitoba, Canada, and evidence for an extraterrestrial event
Multi-proxy analyses of a sequence spanning the Younger Dryas (YD) in the Glacial Lake Hind basin of Manitoba provides insight into regional paleohydrology and paleovegetation of meltwater rivers and lakes spanning >4000 yr; the sequence is controlled by 25 new accelerator mass spectrometry ages. This lake, dammed by the Laurentide Ice Sheet, overflowed into Lake Agassiz. The pre-YD interval records rapid sedimentation from meltwaters that headed…

Assessing Factors in Adolescent Adjustment as Precursors to Recidivism in Court-Referred Youth
Court-referred youth participated in an intervention program and completed the Reynolds Adolescent Adjustment Screening Inventory. Reoffending rates were tracked for 2 years. Antisocial behavior, anger control, and emotional distress were influencing characteristics for recidivism. The Reynolds Adolescent Adjustment Screening Inventory may serve as a tool to identify the likelihood of reoffending for adolescents
Supreme Audit Institutions and their communication strategies
In the past, Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) rarely publicized their work. In the 1990s, a few began to publish booklets and brochures for popular consumption and to establish ties with the media. These days, SAIs are concerned about communication. A communication policy completes their cycle of accountability, justifies their existence, is an essential component of their independence and efficiency and brings about measures which assess the im…
The SIQ-III Test
The authors address concern in the field today about the literacy needs of boys. In a 1977 precursor to this article, it was literacy issues related to girls that appeared to command attention. As in that article and another preceding one, information is presented here as a true-false test. After taking the test, readers are provided with answers based on published research. An intervention program based on the score an individual receives on the…
Applying Ethnography in Educational Change
Although educational anthropologists have been involved in researching and writing about most of the major educational debates of our times, it is difficult to find examples of ways in which anthropology has been applied directly to the solution of education-related problems. This article explores reasons for this dilemma by analyzing the bases from which educational anthropologists carry out their research. It then outlines three case examples i…
