  • Chronology of MIS 6 Laurentide Ice Sheet marginal sedimentation in southwestern Indiana, United States

    Open AccessJosé Luis Antinao, Henry M Loope et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2026

    The efficacy of using luminescence dating on glacial deposits is tested for a portion of the Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 6 Laurentide Ice Sheet margin in southwestern Indiana. We assess small-aliquot quartz optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and feldspar infrared-stimulated luminescence (IRSL) dating of glaciofluvial, glaciodeltaic, and aeolian sediments against a well-established soil stratigraphy and a cosmogenic 10 Be depth profile. Result…

  • An Exploration of the Effects of Mentor-Apprentice Programs on Mentors' and Apprentices' Wellbeing

    Open AccessBarbara Jenni, Adar Anisman et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2017

    Increasingly, adult Indigenous language learners are being identified as the “missing generation” of learners who hold great potential to contribute to the revival of Indigenous languages by acting as the middle ground between Elders, children, and youth within their communities. Our research project NEȾOLṈEW̱ “one mind, one people” studied adult Indigenous language learning through the popular Mentor-Apprentice Program method. Over a 2-year peri…

  • Does It Matter if the Consensus on Anthropogenic Global Warming Is 97% or 99.99

    Open AccessAndrew G Skuce, John Cook et al.ARTICLEBulletin of Science Technology &…2016

    Cook et al. reported a 97% scientific consensus on anthropogenic global warming (AGW), based on a study of 11,944 abstracts in peer-reviewed science journals. Powell claims that the Cook et al. methodology was flawed and that the true consensus is virtually unanimous at 99.99%. Powell’s method underestimates the level of disagreement because it relies on finding explicit rejection statements as well as the assumption that abstracts without a stat…

  • Natural Icons and Threats: An Approach to Landscape Conservation Planning

    Open AccessBrendan Mackey, Patric Jacobs et al.ARTICLEPARKS2016

    Park management in complex landscapes spanning jurisdictions is often limited by the lack of shared management priorities and a common spatial information system. Furthermore, current approaches may lead to a reductionist approach by focusing on a narrow range of park features in isolation from their landscape context. The natural icons and threats framework is proposed as a complementary approach that can provide a more holist perspective to man…

  • Consensus on consensus: A synthesis of consensus estimates on human-caused global warming

    Open AccessJohn Cook, Naomi Oreskes et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    The consensus that humans are causing recent global warming is shared by 90%-100% of publishing climate scientists according to six independent studies by co-authors of this paper. Those results are consistent with the 97% consensus reported by Cook et al (Environ. Res. Lett. 8 024024) based on 11 944 abstracts of research papers, of which 4014 took a position on the cause of recent global warming. A survey of authors of those papers (N=2412 pape…

  • Nutritional contribution of street foods to the diet of people in developing countries: A systematic review

    Open AccessNelia Patricia Steyn, Zandile Mchiza et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2014

    Objective To review studies examining the nutritional value of street foods and their contribution to the diet of consumers in developing countries. Design The electronic databases PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Proquest Health and Science Direct were searched for articles on street foods in developing countries that included findings on nutritional value. Results From a total of 639 articles, twenty-three studies were retained…

  • Quantifying the consensus on anthropogenic global warming in the scientific literature

    Open AccessJohn Cook, Dana Nuccitelli et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2013

    We analyze the evolution of the scientific consensus on anthropogenic global warming (AGW) in the peer-reviewed scientific literature, examining 11 944 climate abstracts from 1991–2011 matching the topics ‘global climate change’ or ‘global warming’. We find that 66.4% of abstracts expressed no position on AGW, 32.6% endorsed AGW, 0.7% rejected AGW and 0.3% were uncertain about the cause of global warming. Among abstracts expressing a position on …

  • Le Wilderness, une manière de voir et d'être à la nature sauvage: Le prisme paysager de Tremblant, Québec

    Fabienne Joliet, Patric Jacobs et al.ARTICLECahiers de géographie du Québec2009References: 7

    Le Wilderness désigne une relation particulière à la nature, caractérisée par des représentations et des pratiques paysagères qui lui sont propres. Aujourd'hui, il influence fortement l'environnementalisme et tend vers une valeur étalon pour les sociétés occidentales. Il incarne un fond mythique dont la puissance évocatrice émane des grands espaces vierges de l'Amérique du Nord au XIXesiècle, notamment la forêt boréale du Canada. Dans ce pays, il…

  • The Tyranny of Leisure

    William B Kemp, Patric Jacobs et al.ARTICLELoisir et Société / Society and…1986

    This paper analyses the importance of leisure to Inuit society. Contrary to the general belief that the Inuit did not have the flexibility to identify and establish leisure time activities in the past, the authors argue that they required and utilized leisure time, and that this was a fundamental part of their cultural adaptation. However, changes in the definition and use of leisure that were brought about through contact with the outside world …

  • Instructors' Ratings of Delinquents after Outward Bound Survival Training and Their Subsequent Recidivism

    Open AccessDaniel J Baer, Patric Jacobs et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1975

    After participating in an Outward Bound survival training course, 60 male delinquents were evaluated by patrol leaders. Successful students were awarded a certificate and all Ss were then paroled. A significant association was found between nonrecidivism within a 5-yr. period and the awarding of a certificate. Principal components analysis of a 40-item rating scale completed by the patrol leaders yielded six factors. Significant correlations were…
