Understanding the increased vulnerability to sexual violence and factors that affect disclosure and support among LGBTQ+ women at a US college
Sexual violence is a significant concern on college campuses in the USA, where approximately 5% of men and 25% of women experience victimisation during their time at college. Sexuality minority women in particular are at higher risk for experiencing sexual violence than their cisgender counterparts. Bisexual women (46.1%) are particularly vulnerable, experiencing higher rates of sexual violence than both their lesbian (13.1%) and heterosexual pee…

Results are reported overall and by sex, grade, race/ethnicity, sexual identity…
Collaborative processes for exploring rural futures: The Exploring Futures Platform
Collaborative approaches are becoming more common to help agriculture and rural communities navigate the range of complex issues they face. This article outlines the Exploring Futures Platform (EFP) process and critiques two case studies. EFP was developed for pastoral agriculture communities to help participants jointly define challenges and explore joint management of solutions for the future. EFP was designed to ensure successful integration o…
Farmer’s intended and actual adoption of climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies
A growing body of work aims to understand the impacts of climate change on agriculture as well as farmer’s perceptions of climate change and their likeliness to adopt adapting and mitigating behaviors. Despite this, little work has considered how intention to adopt differs from actual adoption of climate change practices in agriculture. Applying the Theory of Planned Behavior we aim to assess whether different factors affect intended versus actua…
Ethno-epidemiological research challenges: Networks of long-haul truckers in the inner city
Long-haul truck drivers and members of their social networks in urban locales constitute a hard-to-reach population at risk for acquiring and disseminating STIs/HIV. This paper focuses on the unique logistical, methodological, and ethical challenges faced by population health scientists while studying long-haul truck drivers and members of their sexual networks in inner-city neighborhoods of a major US metropolitan center and the innovative strat…

Predictors of awareness of clinical trials and feelings about the use of medical information for research in a nationally representative US sample
Although some racial groups feel less positively about some aspects of research, it is also evident that awareness of clinical trials, a predictor of more positive feelings about research, is less prevalent in some groups. In addition to creative outreach efforts to foster more positive feelings about research and researchers, promoting awareness of clinical trials among the general public and among members of racial and ethnic minority groups ma…
Gender Differences in Language Acculturation Predict Marital Satisfaction: A Dyadic Analysis of Russian-Speaking Immigrant Couples in the United States
Immigration is a major life event that can create marital distress in couples who migrate together (Min, 2001 ). One instigator of this distress is differences in the rates of acculturation between husbands and wives (Chun and Akutsu, 2003 ; Darvishpour, 2002). Previous qualitative research (Ben-David and Lavee 1994) found that amongst Russian immigrant couples in Israel, marital discord resulted when wives acculturated faster to the host culture…
Examining the implementation of the mathematics strand of the Key Stage 3 Strategy: What are the bases of evaluation
This article presents findings from a comparative case study examining the implementation of the mathematics strand of the Key Stage 3 Strategy in two contrasting schools—one using setting and whole‐class teaching, the other incorporating mixed‐ability grouping and individualised learning. A number of ‘outcomes’ of implementation are considered, including teachers' and students' experiences, changes in pedagogic practice and students' attainment.…
Effect of Participation Incentives on the Composition of National Health Surveys
Our understanding of health attitudes and behaviors often relies on national surveys. This study examined how the composition of the Health Information National Trends Survey was influenced by participation incentives. Younger respondents who had had cancer were the least likely to report that a lack of incentive would dissuade them from participating. The group receiving no incentive had the smallest proportion of individuals with cancer. Howeve…

The key role of educational research in the development and evaluation of the national numeracy strategy
The authors contest a politician's claim that the National Numeracy Strategy (NNS) in English primary schools has been an undisputed success with no contribution from educational researchers. First, the key role of researchers and research in the development of the NNS is outlined. Then there is a description of the Leverhulme Numeracy Research Programme, a linked set of research studies combining a large‐scale longitudinal survey and qualitative…

Students' Experiences of Ability Grouping—disaffection, polarisation and the construction of failure 1
This paper reports findings from the first two years of a four‐year longitudinal study into the ways that students' attitudes towards, and achievement in, mathematics are influenced by ability‐grouping practices in six schools. Through the use of questionnaires administered to the whole cohort of 943 students, interviews with 72 students and approximately 120 hours of classroom observation, the relative achievement in, and the changes in attitude…
Turning Our Attention from the What to the How: The National Numeracy Strategy
This article examines the policy of the UK Labour Government between 1997 and 1999 in relation to the production and implementation of the National Numeracy Strategy, within the structure of context of influence, context of policy texts and context of practice. It examines its roots in, and differences from, numeracy and mathematics policies of previous regimes. Some tensions between the philosophies of modernisation and traditionalism, which are…
Educational Researchers in Universities: The condition of the workforce
The British Educational Research Association (BERA) 1997 Presidential Address discusses some issues associated with that part of the workforce in educational research which is employed in universities, including the implications of recommendations in the Dearing Report. Problems are identified in recruiting staff who have appropriate experience and qualifications, at all levels from junior researcher to professor. The reverse side of the systemic…
Is the National Numeracy Strategy Research-based
The British Government has recently agreed proposals for a National Numeracy Strategy which claims to be based on evidence concerning 'hat works'. This article reviews the literature in each key area in which recommendations are made, and makes a judgement of whether the claim is justified. In some areas (e.g. calculators) the recommendations run counter to the evidence. Keywords:: numeracynational numeracy strategyresearch summarycalculators
Progression in measuring
The Progression in Learning Science and Mathematics Project was set up to investigate to what extent progression in learning can be described in terms of a common framework for all pupils. Other aspects of the assumptions made by the structure of ten age‐independent levels adopted for national assessment in England and Wales were also studied, in particular differing rates of learning and the relation of age to progression. The degree of dependen…

Teacher assessment at Key Stage One
The focus of this paper is on teacher assessment at Key Stage One in the second year of the statutory implementation of National Assessment in England and Wales. In our analysis of the operation of the assessment system, and the interpretation of results, in schools and LEAs, we have attempted to elicit and describe implicit models of assessment practice used by year‐2 teachers. These models appear to reflect both different beliefs about the natu…
Graded Assessment and Learning Hierarchies in Mathematics ‐ an alternative view
Noss, Goldstein & Hoyles raise questions relating to the validity of the Graded Assessment in Mathematics (GAIM) project, on psychological, educational and technical grounds. This paper argues, with reference to relevant research, that even those concerns expressed which are theoretically justifiable are not serious in practice and are thus unlikely to outweigh the positive benefits of the scheme. In particular there would seem to be no necessary…
A Preservative Compound for Archaeological Materials
A compound is described which has been used in the field for consolidation of bone, shell, stone, pottery, fabric, and so forth. It has also been used in the laboratory with satisfactory results. This preparation can be applied to damp materials in the ground and allows for the preservation of otherwise nonrecoverable items. The ease of preparation and application makes it useful without requiring special training. The compound is water soluble a…
Native Made Glass Pendants from East of the Mississippi
Native made glass pendants have long been known in the upper Missouri region, but it is not generally realized these also have appeared east of the Mississippi River. The find sites and their dates are discussed and the context of the pendants where known. Indications are that the differences evident in the sizes and shapes of the pendants may be due to temporal factors. A previous estimate of 1798 for the time of the origin of the craft must be …
