Reframing Cannabis in Social Work and Public Health
This commentary reframes cannabis prohibition as both a public health crisis and a social justice imperative, arguing that neutrality is not an option for social work. Despite the expansion of legalization across the United States, the racialized harms of prohibition persist, disproportionately affecting Black and Brown communities through arrests, stigma, and structural barriers. Within the profession, cannabis has historically been constructed …
Did Religion Help Me
The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the relationship between religious (positive and negative) coping and coronavirus anxiety among churchgoers (N = 215) in Grenada during the height of the pandemic, and whether age, gender or religion predicted both phenomena. The Brief Religious Coping Scale (BCOPE) and coronavirus anxiety Scale (CAS) were used to measure religious coping and coronavirus anxiety, respectively. Pearson' corr…
Empathy for wildlife
Because climate change and the biodiversity crisis are driven by human actions, determining psychological mechanisms underpinning support for environmental action is an urgent priority. Here, we experimentally tested for mechanisms promoting conservation-related motivation and behavior toward a flagship species, wild Tamanend's bottlenose dolphins. Following evidence that empathy increases prosocial motivations and behavior, and that the ability …
Facilitators of and barriers to Covid-19 vaccination in Grenada
Objectives. To identify the factors contributing to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine hesitancy in Grenada. Methods. A phenomenological study was conducted using semi-structured interviews at vaccination and pop-up testing clinics during a spike in COVID-19 cases on the island. Interview questions were developed using the health belief model related to perceived threat of COVID-19, perceived benefits of and barriers to COVID-19 vaccinat…

A new iconographical addition to Francis I's adoption of the persona of King David and its contemporary literary context
The presence in the Cathedral at Auch of a large carved representation of Francis I as the Biblical King David on the high back panel of one of the choir stalls, turning to face, in the next stall, a carving of Bathsheba of equal proportions, raises intriguing questions, especially as archive documentation on the subject is sparse and requires contemporary literary texts to support it. This article considers how the carving fits into Francis's kn…
Sex differences in Cognitive Abilities Test scores
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: There is uncertainty about the extent or even existence of sex differences in the mean and variability of reasoning test scores ( Jensen, 1998; Lynn, 1994, ; Mackintosh, 1996). This paper analyses the Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT) scores of a large and representative sample of UK pupils to determine the extent of any sex differences. SAMPLE: A nationally representative UK sample of over 320,000 school pupils aged 11-12 years…
Jean Bouchet
Réunis par Jennifer Britnell et Nathalie Dauvois. (Colloques, congrès et conférences sur la Renaissance européenne, 34). Paris, Champion, 2003. 314 pp. 2 b&w plates. This volume, as the editors proudly proclaim, presents the papers of the first ever colloquium to be held on the rhétoriqueur poet, Jean Bouchet. As such, it not only explores further the avenues of enquiry established by Britnell in her major new study of the poet (Edinburgh Univers…
The reception and influence of josephus's Jewish War in the late French Renaissance with special reference to the Satyre Menippee
Application of the Information Processing Approach to the Design of a Non‐verbal Reasoning Test
S ummary . A major criticism of currently available psychometric tests, particularly those purporting to measure general intelligence, is that they were constructed without any theoretical rationale for the choice of item types (e.g., Levy and Goldstein, 1983). This paper attempts to evolve such a rationale for one particular purpose; namely, the development of a non‐verbal reasoning test for 10‐ to 11‐year‐olds. In order to achieve this end, bot…
A Basic Problem in Philippine Education
In any appraisal of educational methods and progress in the Philippines, it is wise to bear in mind the fact that the essential purpose of the educational system has been, since 1901, political, rather than cultural. This is not said in any spirit of criticism of the Philippine educational pattern. It is rather simply a recognition of what the Filipinos themselves have recognized in respect to their choice of educational methods and their applica…
