Forms of Life for Meaghan Morris
Meaghan once remarked (I think to the poet and art critic Ken Bolton) that she didn't like poetry because of all the empty space on the page. A quarter of a century ago in 1992, in Ecstasy and Economics: American Essays for John Forbes, she said she was 'a desultory reader of poetry' and that reading poetry might induce a 'scary cultural estrangement'.1 In the foreword, she extrapolates the 'awkward' place of poetry in cultural studies then as be…
Supporting People with Dementia at Home
Supporting People with Dementia at Home details a groundbreaking study of an intensive care management scheme designed for older people with dementia that are at risk of entry into residential care. The authors use a quasi-experimental approach to compare how the individuals on the mental health team in one community were matched to a similar community without the service. They analyze the evidence focusing on the eventual placement of the indivi…
The Metastasis of Economic Hate
The neoliberal construct of perpetual indebtedness to nonhuman financial entities has created a populace so focused on debts "owed" to Wall Street that we have almost no memory of any other kinds of debts. If Malcolm X was correct that we "cannot have capitalism without racism," we have to ask ourselves whether racism has really declined with color blindness or whether color blindness might be neoliberalism's corollary. The article examines how c…
Automated Dating of the World's Language Families Based on Lexical Similarity
This paper describes a computerized alternative to glottochronology for estimating elapsed time since parent languages diverged into daughter languages. The method, developed by the Automated Similarity Judgment Program (ASJP) consortium, is different from glottochronology in four major respects: (1) it is automated and thus is more objective, (2) it applies a uniform analytical approach to a single database of worldwide languages, (3) it is base…
Adding typology to lexicostatistics
The ASJP project aims at establishing relationships between languages on the basis of the Swadesh word list. For this purpose, lists have been collected and phonologically transcribed for almost 3,500 languages. Using a method based on the algorithm proposed by Levenshtein (Cybernetics and Control Theory 10: 707-710, 1966), a custom-made computer program calculates the distances between all pairs of languages in the database. Standard software is…
Latin American—Trained Nurse Perspective on Latino Health Disparities
This study seeks the unique perspective of Latin American— trained nurses on barriers and strategies to improve the health of Baltimore's Latino community. Individual in-depth interviews are conducted in Spanish with one male and seven female nurses recruited by Baltimore's Latino Providers Network. Audiotaped home interview transcripts are manually reviewed for common themes. Strategies include professional medical interpreters, workshops on the…
Conceptual Issues in Studies of Resilience
We begin this article by considering the following critical conceptual issues in research on resilience: (1) distinctions between protective, promotive, and vulnerability factors; (2) the need to unpack underlying processes; (3) the benefits of within‐group experimental designs; and (4) the advantages and potential pitfalls of an overwhelming scientific focus on biological and genetic factors (to the relative exclusion of familial and contextual …
Extracurricular involvement among affluent youth
It has been suggested that over-scheduling of upper-class youth might underlie the high distress and substance use documented among them. This assumption was tested by considering suburban 8th graders' involvement in different activities along with their perceptions of parental attitudes toward achievement. Results indicated negligible evidence for deleterious effects of high extracurricular involvement per se. Far more strongly implicated was pe…
The Appalachia Cancer Network
Residents of Appalachia, especially those in rural Appalachia, are generally considered to be medically underserved. In fact, cancer mortality in Appalachia, especially in rural Appalachia, is higher than it is in the remainder of the United States. Developing from the Appalachia Leadership Initiative on Cancer, the Appalachia Cancer Network (ACN) is a network of academic and community organizations that seek to conduct surveillance, intervention…
Residential or nursing home care? The appropriateness of placement decisions
Routinely-collected statistics show considerable variation between local authorities in Great Britain, in the proportions of supported residents placed in nursing and residential care. This raises the question of whether this is due to variations in demand (the type of resident approaching authorities), supply (the level and type of provision available for local authorities to purchase), or policy (in terms of eligibility criteria or interpretati…

Trauma, dissociation, impulsivity, and self-mutilation among substance abuse patients
Among 85 substance abusing or dependent inpatients, it was found that those with histories of distressing traumatic events reported more self-mutilative acts, higher levels of dissociation, and a greater degree of impulsivity than did patients without such histories. Implications of the findings for research and clinical practice are discussed
Fading Away
This book comes out of an in-depth, qualitative study of the experiences of twenty-three families in which one parent was dying of cancer. The study attempted to better understand the impact of terminal illness on the entire family system and sought to develop a theoretical framework that would guide the assessment of and services to such families. As a result of interviews with patients, spouses and their adult children over three phases of the …
Challenges of Conducting Research in Palliative Care
There has been virtually no discussion of the challenges that are encountered in conducting qualitative research in palliative care. This article draws upon the authors' experiences to identify issues and options in designing studies that are appropriate to the needs of patients, families, and staff as well as the research objectives. Attention is given to characteristics of the qualitative method, selection of the appropriate design, recruitment…

Reassessing War Stress
Research has shown a clear association between war‐zone exposure and psychological readjustment in soldiers. Newer findings suggest that certain event and person characteristics are especially influential in this process. The present article has the following goals: (a) to review existing parameters in the traditional measurement of war‐zone exposure, (b) to consider conceptual and methodological limitations in these approaches, (c) to present em…
The Scunthorpe Project
Roy Kitchin outlines the development of his sculpture and describes how his work altered following the installation of his large sculpture Lifting Engine in 1978. Five subsequent sculptures are discussed in relation to their effects on the final outcome of the author’s Scunthorpe project. Finally he describes the construction of this large steel sculpture on the British Steel Corporation’s premises in Scunthorpe, England, and discusses the comple…
On My Sculpture Influenced by the Industrial Revolution
The author, L. R. Kitchin, describes his youth in the industrial part of Britain where the industrial Revolution began. His early sculpture dealt mainly with the human figure in the classical Greek style. When he learned that what he was pursuing was so close to what had been done by Aristide Maillol, his work underwent a major change. In 1959, he made the first principal work that reflected the influence of the heritage of his youth. Working wit…
