Development of a New Multidimensional Resiliency Measure
With the widespread use of preventive science frameworks in schools, these settings have become prominent contexts in providing youth with supports through programs that promote resilience. Increasing resilience in students is linked to positive outcomes; however, existing assessment practices for resilience have multiple limitations. This study aimed to develop a multidimensional resiliency measure through a rigorous, multi-stage process that in…
Personality predictors of 6‐month readmission in adult psychiatric inpatients
Readmission of psychiatric inpatients is highly prevalent and places a significant financial burden on the healthcare system. Rehospitalisation is often used as a metric of quality of care in psychiatric settings, but little is known about how specific personality traits impact readmission in adult psychiatric inpatients. A convenience sample of 94 adults (mean age = 36.8 years; female = 54.3%; European American = 76.6%) at an inpatient psychiatr…

Modeling Pediatric Body Mass Index and Neighborhood Environment at Different Spatial Scales
In public health research, it has been well established that geographic location plays an important role in influencing health outcomes. In recent years, there has been an increased emphasis on the impact of neighborhood or contextual factors as potential risk factors for childhood obesity. Some neighborhood factors relevant to childhood obesity include access to food sources, access to recreational facilities, neighborhood safety, and socioecono…

Assessment of Residential History Generation Using a Public-Record Database
In studies of disease with potential environmental risk factors, residential location is often used as a surrogate for unknown environmental exposures or as a basis for assigning environmental exposures. These studies most typically use the residential location at the time of diagnosis due to ease of collection. However, previous residential locations may be more useful for risk analysis because of population mobility and disease latency. When re…
Climate change and soil salinity
Facing the Hungry Tide
This paper quantifies the impact of inundation risk and salinization on the family structure and economic welfare of coastal households in Bangladesh. These households are already on the "front line" of climate change, so their adaptation presages the future for hundreds of millions of families worldwide who will face similar threats by 2100. The analysis is based on a household decision model that relates spatial deployment of working-age, migra…

A Simulation-Based Study of Geographically Weighted Regression as a Method for Investigating Spatially Varying Relationships
Large variability and correlations among the coefficients obtained from the method of geographically weighted regression (GWR) have been identified in previous research. This is an issue that poses a serious challenge for the utility of the method as a tool to investigate multivariate relationships. The objectives of this paper are to assess: (1) the ability of GWR to discriminate between a spatially constant processes and one with spatially vary…

Who suffers from indoor air pollution? Evidence from Bangladesh
In this paper, we investigate individuals' exposure to indoor air pollution. Using new survey data from Bangladesh, average hours spent by members of households in the cooking area, living area and outdoors in a typical day are combined with the estimates of pollution concentration in different locations in order to estimate exposure. We analyse exposure at two levels: differences within households attributable to family roles, and differences ac…
A survey of micro-enterprise in urban West Africa
This article identifies some key factors shaping the micro-enterprise sector in urban French West Africa. Drawing on interviews with micro-entrepreneurs and micro-finance practitioners in Benin, Burkina Faso, Niger, and Togo, the study explores the needs, characteristics, motivations, and success factors for micro-entrepreneurship in the region, together with some of the impediments to the growth and success of micro-enterprise ventures. It was f…

Beyond Pollution Havens
Poor countries suffer from serious environmental damage, and much more pollution control is justifiable. Weak regulation is partly to blame, but the evidence suggests that it reflects a general development problem, not deliberate creation of “pollution havens” to promote investment and trade. Aid from the OECD countries can help reduce pollution in poor countries by promoting better public information about polluters, stronger regulatory institut…

Confronting the Environmental Kuznets Curve
The environmental Kuznets curve posits an inverted-U relationship between pollution and economic development. Pessimistic critics of empirically estimated curves have argued that their declining portions are illusory, either because they are cross-sectional snapshots that mask a long-run "race to the bottom" in environmental standards, or because industrial societies will continually produce new pollutants as the old ones are controlled. However,…

Shell, Nigeria and the Ogoni. A study in unsustainable development
The Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) and its joint‐venture partners – particularly the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation – have earned billions of dollars from the oil extracted from the land of the Ogoni in the Niger Delta. The Ogoni however complain that they have not seen adequate benefits; rather the oil has cost them dearly in terms of a deteriorating environment and underdevelopment and mobilized a successful national and in…
Shell, Nigeria and the Ogoni. A study in unsustainable development
In the first paper in this trilogy (Boele et al ., 2001) we described the history of the Royal Dutch/Shell Group from its inception in 1890 through to the year 2000, discussed briefly the importance of corporate reputation to the group and described the significant impacts on Shell of the events of 1995 in Nigeria. We traced the relationship of the Shell Petroleum Development Corporation in Nigeria to impacts on the natural and social environment…

Informal Regulation of Industrial Pollution in Developing Countries
The authors test a model of supply-demand relations in an implicit market for environmental services when formal regulation is absent. They use plant-level data from Indonesia for 1989-90, before the advent of nationwide environmental regulation. Treating pollution as a derived demand for environmental services, their model relates emissions of biological oxygen demand to the price (expected cost) of pollution; to prices of other inputs (labor,en…

In the first two papers of this trilogy we explored the history of the Royal Dutch/Shell group both internationally and locally in Nigeria. We described a catastrophic failure in relations with the Ogoni and the consequent fall‐out with NGOs and opinion formers more globally. In response to these events Shell embarked on a revision of its business principles and initiated a multi‐million dollar exercise in stakeholder outreach and communication. …

Crosscurrents in Literary Criticism, 1750-1790
In 1789 the critic and poet Robert Potter published as part of his The Art of Criticism as exemplified in Dr. Johnson's Lives of the most eminent English Poets a fanciful conversation between Joseph Warton and Samuel Johnson. Potter, at the beginning of the piece, straightforwardly accounts for this fancy: After having been occupied in perusing Dr. Warton's Essay on the Genius and Writings of Pope, and Dr. Johnson's Lives of the English Poets, th…

Trade Policy and Industrial Pollution in Latin America
It is commonly assumed by economists and environmentalists alike that greater economtc "openness" will lead to increased industrial pollution in developing countries. This paper challenges the "pollution haven" hypothesis, arguing that liberalization of trade regimes and increased foreign investment in Latin America have not been associated with pollution-intensive industrial development. From case studies and econometric evidence, we conclude th…

In Search of Pollution Havens? Dirty Industry in the World Economy, 1960 to 1995
The past three decades have witnessed rapid economic development, particularly in countries that have pursued relatively open economic policies. Rising environmental awareness in the 1960s also led to a rapid tightening of pollution regulation in the industrial economies. According to the "pollution havens" hypothesis, the result should have been more rapid growth of dirty industries in unregulated economies that were open to international trade.…

Beyond Art
One of the most frequently anthologized of poems, perhaps because of its comparatively short length and its apparent accessibility, is his To the Pious Memory of the Accomplisht Young Lady Mrs Anne Killigrew, Excellent in the two Sister-Arts of Poesie, and Painting. An Ode. But anyone who has examined the criticism concerning this poem (or tried to teach it) realizes that Anne Killigrew can also be quite baffling. The fundamental problem, I suppo…
