Marvin Tate
Marvin Tate (b. 1959) fired up Chicago’s spoken-word and musical scenes as the leader of the group D-Settlement during the 1990s. As he described characters from his city’s neighborhoods or offered bracing social and political commentary onstage, Tate’s band responded with a fiery blend of rock guitar, funk beats, and jazz improvisation. They also presented their own take on Afrofuturism. The group broke up in 2003 but reunited for a performance …

Investigating hair cues as a mechanism underlying Black women’s intersectional invisibility
Children psychologically exclude Black women from their representations of women, but the mechanisms underlying this marginalization remain unclear. Across two studies ( N = 129; 49 boys, 78 girls, two gender unreported; 79 White, 27 Black, six Latinx, five Asian, and 12 unreported), the present work tests hair texture as one possible perceptual mechanism by which this might occur. In both studies, children gender-categorized Black, White, and As…
Children's and Adults' Perceptions of Religious and Secular Interventions for Incarcerated Individuals in the United States
Religious involvement is prevalent in prisons, a context where questions of moral redemption are particularly salient. We probed the developmental origins of adults' perceptions that religion might lead to redemption following transgressions. Six- to eight-year-olds (n = 50 United States residents) and adults (n = 53 United States residents) learned about incarcerated characters who had taken religion classes, art classes, or life classes (about …
Pollution and health
The Lancet Commission on pollution and health reported that pollution was responsible for 9 million premature deaths in 2015, making it the world's largest environmental risk factor for disease and premature death. We have now updated this estimate using data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuriaes, and Risk Factors Study 2019. We find that pollution remains responsible for approximately 9 million deaths per year, corresponding to one in si…

President Trump’s transgender moral panic
This article argues that former President Donald Trump acted as a moral entrepreneur when he created a moral panic by sending tweets that established a new national policy that negatively affected transgender Americans. The statement was that transgender Americans could not serve the US military in any valid capacity. The implication of the demonization was a moral panic predicated on the belief that transgender citizens were a burden to the Amer…
The effect of air pollution on deaths, disease burden, and life expectancy across China and its provinces, 1990–2017
Background Air pollution is an important public health concern in China, with high levels of exposure to both ambient and household air pollution. To inform action at provincial levels in China, we estimated the exposure to air pollution and its effect on deaths, disease burden, and loss of life expectancy across all provinces in China from 1990 to 2017. Methods In all 33 provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities, and special administrative r…
Stay In Love
This article describes and appreciates soul singer Minnie Riperton (1947–1979). Along with looking at her work, including early groups in Chicago in the 1960s and solo stardom in the 1970s, it argues that her singular vocal technique also contained a community-minded spirit
Ambient Particulate Air Pollution and Daily Mortality in 652 Cities
BACKGROUND: The systematic evaluation of the results of time-series studies of air pollution is challenged by differences in model specification and publication bias. METHODS: ) with daily all-cause, cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality across multiple countries or regions. Daily data on mortality and air pollution were collected from 652 cities in 24 countries or regions. We used overdispersed generalized additive models with random-effects…
Global estimates of mortality associated with long-term exposure to outdoor fine particulate matter
Exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) is a major global health concern. Quantitative estimates of attributable mortality are based on disease-specific hazard ratio models that incorporate risk information from multiple PM 2.5 sources (outdoor and indoor air pollution from use of solid fuels and secondhand and active smoking), requiring assumptions about equivalent exposure and toxicity. We relax these contentious assumptions by co…
Ambient Air Pollution Exposure Estimation for the Global Burden of Disease 2013
Exposure to ambient air pollution is a major risk factor for global disease. Assessment of the impacts of air pollution on population health and evaluation of trends relative to other major risk factors requires regularly updated, accurate, spatially resolved exposure estimates. We combined satellite-based estimates, chemical transport model simulations, and ground measurements from 79 different countries to produce global estimates of annual ave…
Addressing Global Mortality from Ambient PM 2.5
Ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has a large and well-documented global burden of disease. Our analysis uses high-resolution (10 km, global-coverage) concentration data and cause-specific integrated exposure-response (IER) functions developed for the Global Burden of Disease 2010 to assess how regional and global improvements in ambient air quality could reduce attributable mortality from PM2.5. Overall, an aggressive global program of PM2…
Global, regional, and national comparative risk assessment of 79 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or clusters of risks in 188 countries, 1990–2013
Global, regional, and national incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability for 301 acute and chronic diseases and injuries in 188 countries, 1990–2013
An Integrated Risk Function for Estimating the Global Burden of Disease Attributable to Ambient Fine Particulate Matter Exposure
Background: Estimating the burden of disease attributable to long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in ambient air requires knowledge of both the shape and magnitude of the relative risk (RR) function. However, adequate direct evidence to identify the shape of the mortality RR functions at the high ambient concentrations observed in many places in the world is lacking.Objective: We developed RR functions over the entire global expo…

An Examination of the Relationship Between Commitments and Culture Among Five Cultural Groups of Israeli Teachers
This study examines the relationship between commitment forms (organizational commitment, occupational commitment, job involvement, work involvement, and group commitment) and cultural values (individualism versus collectivism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance, and masculinity versus femininity). Five groups of Israeli teachers who are assumed to represent different cultural groups (secular Jews, orthodox Jews, kibbutz teachers, Druze, and A…
Analysis of the Mediating Effect of Personal‐Psychological Variables on the Relationship Between Socioeconomic Status and Political Participation
The goal of this research was to test whether the relationship between socioeconomic status and political participation is direct or mediated by personal variables such as self‐esteem, locus of control, and political efficacy, and to detect how such a mediating process might operate if it exists. Two forms of participation, namely active political participation and the more passive psychological involvement of citizens in the democratic process, …
The Relationship between Commitment Forms and Work Outcomes
This study examined three models of the relationships between commitment foci and work outcomes such as turnover intentions, actual turnover, and absenteeism. The first is based on the traditional literature that argues that the relationship between commitment foci and outcomes is direct. The second is based on Morrow's model of universal forms of work commitment. According to this model, job involvement mediates the relationship between the othe…
A Re-examination of the Side-Bet Theory as Applied to Organizational Commitment
Contradictory research findings make it almost impossible to arrive at generalized conclusions about the side-bet theory despite the amount of attention this theory has received. In an attempt to resolve the argument about the ability of the theory to explain the formation of organizational commitment, this study examines previous findings of relevant correlational data from 50 published studies, using the Hunter, Schmidt, and Jackson (1982) meta…

The Power of Social Collectivities
The analysis and measurement of social power, particularly that of social collectivities, continues to present difficulties to theorists and researchers alike.l In a recent attempt to resolve some of these problems,Jacobsen and Cohen2 have suggested an integration offour major theoretical approaches to the study of power, and derived from that a 'predictor measure' for assessing power relationships between social collectivities. The utility of th…

Career stage as a moderator of the relationships between organizational commitment and its outcomes
The existing career development and organizational commitment development theory suggests that career stage may moderate the relationship between organizational commitment and outcomes. However, the study of organizational commitment‐outcomes linkages across career stages has been a neglected area of research. In light of this insufficiency, a meta‐analysis review of 41 samples dealing with the relationships between organizational commitment and …

Health, wealth, and air pollution
The effects of both ambient air pollution and socioeconomic position (SEP) on health are well documented. A limited number of recent studies suggest that SEP may itself play a role in the epidemiology of disease and death associated with exposure to air pollution. Together with evidence that poor and working-class communities are often more exposed to air pollution, these studies have stimulated discussion among scientists, policy makers, and the…
Multiple Commitments in the Workplace
The growing interest in multiple commitments among researchers and practitioners is evinced by the greater attention in the literature to the broader concept of work commitment. This includes specific objects of commitment, such as organization, work group, occupation, the union, and one's job. In the last several years a sizable body of research has accumulated on the multidimensional approach to commitment. This knowledge needs to be marshaled,…
