Identity Within Architecture
The architecture of Texas A&M University at Qatar (TAMUQ), set up under Her Highness Sheikha Moza Al-Misnedd and the Qatar Foundation, spatially embodies new possibilities because AIA Gold Medal award-winning architect Ricardo Legorreta designed buildings that both challenge and encompass Gulf Arabian tradition. The buildings exemplify, enact, and embody new ways of experiencing gendered educational identity that also honors traditional local val…
Ask forgiveness, not permission
Who would choose to be a busker and why? How are buskers positioned by, and in relation to, state, commercial and social formations that configure public spaces and public selves? I approach busking through the concept of micropolitics, developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, which argues that life and politics are immanent: inseparable from and coextensive with one another. I take Zygmunt Bauman’s pessimistic vision of ‘liquid modernity’…
Does Diversity Matter? School Racial Composition and Academic Achievement of Students in a Diverse Sample
Research findings on school diversity and its impact on children’s educational outcomes is mixed. This study examined school racial diversity and educational outcomes for ethnically diverse students. Data came from third graders, N = 33,857 (51.8% male; 57.2% Latinx), in 278 schools. Using multilevel models, we examined the association between school racial composition and academic outcomes. Results showed that increased school diversity was nega…

Day or Night at the Museum
The virtual museum tour has claimed new audiences during the pandemic, but not all virtual tours are created equal. First, this paper will explore the world of virtual museums and UX scholarship. Secondly, the paper will propose a viable set of options in determining effectiveness of virtual museums. Thirdly, the paper will discuss specific examples of UX design among museum virtual exhibits offered currently, specifically those that do not requi…
Taking Pause
Restrictions to research due to COVID-19 have required global health researchers to factor public health measures into their work and discuss the most ethical means to pursue research under safety concerns and resource constraints. In parallel, global health research opportunities for students have also adapted to safety concerns and resource constraints. Some projects have been canceled or made remote, but inventively, domestic research opportun…
Pentecostals, Israel, and the Prophetic Politics of Dominion
This essay traces the evolution of a specific tradition of prophecy interpretation in U.S. pentecostal-charismatic circles, which I dub the "prophetic politics of dominion." From the start, this strain of pentecostal-charismatic religiosity merged transnational sensibilities with dominion-style language but typically shied away from overt political organization. Building on Israel-themed symbols and ideas acquired from nineteenth-century evangeli…
Housing markets with endogenous search
In this model buyers and sellers enter a housing market with imperfect elasticity. Buyers screen houses for sale in two segments of the market select a set of houses for search in each segment, and then control their intensities of costly search among houses in their preferred sets. Their truncated distributions of acceptable match values are assumed to be power law. Partial equilibrium is calculated explicitly and steady state is characterized a…
Heather H. Vacek. Madness
American Protestants have a dismal track record when it comes to the support and care of individuals with mental illness. Heather Vacek’s Madness ably narrates this history, though her story focuses primarily on the lives of five key individuals from the colonial period to the twentieth century who served as exceptions to the rule: their intense desire to ameliorate mental suffering stood in stark contrast to the broader patterns of neglect among…
Prevalence and correlates of achieving recommended physical activity levels among children living in rural South Asia—A multi-centre study
Only one quarter of children in these rural areas achieved RPAL in active travel, leisure and sedentary activity. Improved understanding of RPAL in rural South Asian children is important due to rapid socio-economic transition
Intra-household evaluations of alcohol abuse in men with depression and suicide in women
No significant intra-household association was observed between men's alcohol consumption and women's depression, though an increasing (non-significant) trend was associated with suicidal attempts. Complex relationships between suicidal attempts and depression in women and male abusive drinking require further exploration, with an emphasis on intra-household mechanisms and pathways
Associations between active travel and adiposity in rural India and Bangladesh
Use of active travel for ≥150 min/week was associated with being male, smoking, and higher levels of work-based physical activity. It was associated with lower BMI, and lower risk of a high waist circumference or high waist-to-hip ratio. Promotion of active travel is an important component of strategies to address the growing prevalence of overweight in rural low- and middle- income country settings
Worried About Them When We Left”
The purpose of this visual inquiry using ethnographic photographic research was to examine fire safety in homes of 42 urban older adults. Photographs were taken to document home fire safety (HFS) practices and grouped according to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Home Safety Checklist categories. Participants had a mean age of 74 years, and were mostly African American (n=21, 57%), and female (n=32, 78%). Major findings from the photogr…
The Pentecostalization of Christian Zionism
This essay highlights U.S. pentecostals' and charismatics' cultivation of more experiential forms of identification with Jews and with Israel that in turn played a crucial role in the global growth of Christian Zionism. Already at the turn of the twentieth century, key figures experimented with "Judeo-centric" forms of ritual and dress, merging eschatological concerns inherited from nineteenth-century Protestantism with British Israelite ideas eq…
User-Centered Engineering Ethics Curricula
Ethical training in the classroom offers engineering students the opportunity to assess theoretical frameworks and consider crucial diverse perspectives that they can apply in the workplace. With practice, and exposure to decision-making processes supported by ethical theory, students can develop the agility to consider dilemmas from multiple ethical perspectives in order to make more astute decisions. Ethical theory in engineering applications e…
Risk reduction and perceived collective efficacy and community support among female sex workers in Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra, India
BACKGROUND: Empowering sex workers to mobilise and influence the structural context that obstructs risk reduction efforts is now seen an essential component of successful HIV prevention programmes. However, success depends on local programme environments and history. METHODS: The authors analysed data from the Integrated Behavioural and Biological Assessment Round I cross-sectional survey among female sex workers in Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra. Th…
P2-171 Pain among older people and its impact on disability
Introduction Pain is an important indicator of health mainly among older adults. The aim of the present study is to describe the prevalence of pain and to examine the relationship between pain and disability in elderly. Methods One-phase cross-sectional surveys of all residents aged 65 years and over (n=15 177) living in eight low- and middle-income countries. Pain was measured using three questions, about frequency, severity and extent of limita…

Synaesthetic Adjectives
The century-old failure of historical linguistics to discover regularities of semantic change comparable to those in phonological change, as described by Grassmann or Grimm, has forced us to entertain as ‘semantic laws’ proposals that express mere tendencies, or are so restricted to a particular time, language, or narrow inventory, that the ‘law’ is indistinguishable from a description of a discrete historical event. But in the lexical field of E…
