Transforming health equity through academic integration: Ripple effects of high-impact practices in CBPR with refugee-origin Montagnard youth
This community case study describes an innovative model of academic integration, the integration of university-based high-impact practices (HIPs) with Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR)—an approach rooted in co-learning, shared power, and mutual benefits—to advance health equity for low-income Asian American refugee-origin communities (LIAACRO) in central North Carolina. The Montagnard Hypertension Project (MHyP), a community-initiated…

Has Politics Become More Professional? Career and Legislative Professionalisation in the Australian Parliament Since 1950
“Professional politicians” have been lamented for their perceived negative impact on representative democracy. However, the concept of “political professionalisation” is deployed inconsistently, making these claims difficult to assess. This article develops a framework to measure professionalisation across two dimensions: career professionalisation (capturing MPs' changing career trajectories) and legislative professionalisation (describing the c…
Market-preserving federalism and the de facto commerce clause
The text of the US Constitution’s Commerce Clause (Article I) has remained unaltered since 1789. Literally, it gives Congress “Power to [...] regulate Commerce [...] among the several States[.]” But the de facto Commerce Clause has evolved over time. Federal powers with respect to both interstate and intrastate commerce (and relative to the powers retained by the states) have been tied to changing Supreme Court interpretations of the tersely word…
Public participation and constitutional compliance
Many constitutions are ratified by referendum, and public participation in earlier stages of constitution‐making is increasingly common. Participation may increase the perceived legitimacy of a constitution and citizens' knowledge about it. If this is true, one expects participation to lead to greater constitutional compliance. We explore this hypothesis using data on public participation in constitution‐making and compliance. Employing matching …

The Medieval Constitution of Liberty: Political Foundations of Liberalism in the West
Why did enduring traditions of economic and political liberty emerge in Western Europe and not elsewhere? Representative democracy, constitutionalism, and the rule of law are crucial for establishing a just and prosperous society, which we usually treat as the fruits of the Renaissance and Enlightenment, as Western European societies put the Dark Ages behind them. \n \nIn The Medieval Constitution of Liberty, Salter and Young point instead to the…

Tensions between municipal reform and outdated fiscal levers in rural British Columbia
Debates about the future of small municipalities in Canada are set against a backdrop of economic, political, and social restructuring processes that have displaced former state investment policies in favour of neoliberal public policy approaches. Small municipalities struggle with outdated financial and governance structures and a provincial public policy agenda that asks them to become more creative, innovative, and “entrepreneurial” in their a…

A Motivation Analysis of Video Game Microstreamers: “Finding My People and Myself” on YouTube and Twitch
Microstreamers broadcast their video game play and commentary to small audiences on YouTube and Twitch. To draw a holistic picture of their motivations, this study conducted semi-structured interviews employing two complementary frameworks. A Uses and Gratifications approach showed that social integrative needs predominate – even personal integrative and affective need satisfaction depend on audience. In parallel, a Self-Determination Theory appr…

Emergency Department Utilization Among Undocumented Latino Patients During the Covid-19 Pandemic
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether Latino undocumented immigrants had a steeper decline in Emergency Department (ED) utilization compared to Latino Medi-Cal patients in a Los Angeles safety-net hospital, March 13, 2020, to May 8, 2020. STUDY DESIGN: The data were extracted from patient medical records for ED visits at LAC + USC Medical Center from January 2018 to September 2020. We analyzed weekly ED encounters among undocumented Latino patients in …
Covid-19 case counts and Covid-19 related Emergency Department visits: Differences by immigration status, March-December 2020
While the overall likelihood of undocumented patients having a COVID-19 related ED visit varies compared to Medi-Cal patients - for younger patients, the odds is higher; for older patients, the odds is lower - it does not appear that undocumented patients underutilized the ED during the early COVID-19 pandemic relative to Medi-Cal patients. The ED may be a viable source of contact for this high-risk population for future outreach
Psychiatric Emergencies in Los Angeles County During, and After, Initial Covid-19 Societal Restrictions: An Interrupted Time-Series Analysis
Emergency department (ED) visits for psychiatric care in the US reportedly declined during the COVID-19 pandemic. This work, however, does not control for strong temporal patterning in visits before the pandemic and does not examine a potential "rebound" in demand for psychiatric care following the relaxation of initial societal restrictions. Here, we examine COVID-19-related perturbations in psychiatric care during and after the 1st stage of soc…
The Peace of God
Scholars have argued that the politically fractured landscape of medieval Western Europe was foundational to the evolution of constitutionalism and rule of law. In making this argument, Salter and Young (2019) have recently emphasized that the constellation of political property rights in the High Middle Ages was polycentric and hierarchical; holders of those rights were residual claimants to the returns on their governance and sovereign. The lat…

Severity of Inpatient Hospitalizations Among Undocumented Immigrants and Medi-Cal Patients in a Los Angeles, California, Hospital: 2019
Objectives. To compare the severity of inpatient hospitalizations between undocumented immigrants and Medi-Cal patients in a large safety-net hospital in Los Angeles, California. Methods. We conducted a retrospective analysis of all 2019 inpatient stays at a Los Angeles hospital (n = 22 480), including patients of all races/ethnicities. We examined 3 measures by using insurance status to approximate immigration status: illness severity, length of…
Eckweek, Peasedown St John, Somerset: Survey and Excavations at a Shrunken Medieval Hamlet 1988–90
This volume presents the results of archaeological survey and excavation at Eckweek, Somerset, which yielded one of the most important medieval rural settlement sequences yet excavated from south-west England. At the centre of the narrative is a succession of well-preserved buildings spanning the late 10th to the 14th centuries A.D. forming the nucleus of a Domesday manor and its Late Saxon precursor. Detailed analysis of the structural sequence …
Gender gaps in urban mobility
Mobile phone data have been extensively used to study urban mobility. However, studies based on gender-disaggregated large-scale data are still lacking, limiting our understanding of gendered aspects of urban mobility and our ability to design policies for gender equality. Here we study urban mobility from a gendered perspective, combining commercial and open datasets for the city of Santiago, Chile. We analyze call detail records for a large coh…

The Carolingians, the Church, and the medieval constitution
In the eighth century, Charles Martel confiscated Church property to make distributions of benefices and precaria to his vassals. This project was an investment in state capacity and secularizations of Church property were continued under Charles' son Pippin III. Many scholars have characterized this development as the expansion of Carolingian (monarchical) authority at the expense of the Church and to the benefit of the lay nobility. I argue tha…

Digital food photography technology improves efficiency and feasibility of dietary intake assessments in large populations eating ad libitum in collective dining facilities
Accurate assessment of dietary intake continues to challenge researchers, especially in field, or non-laboratory settings. In this study, digital food photography (DFP) methodology was used to assess nutritional intake (NI) of Soldiers participating in the US Army's Ranger Selection and Assessment Program (RASP). During this high-intensity six-week course, Soldiers complete simulated operational missions, perform various military tasks, and impor…

Daring to Lead
We who have dared associate ourselves with the cause of “the least of these,” our brethren around the world, those of us who, by circumstance or choice, find ourselves in sympathy with the struggling aspirations of the poor, the moans and cries of the oppressed, the pain and suffering of the diseased, know that somehow we on this earth have got to learn to live together as brothers. Many of us learned these lessons at the side of Dr. Martin Luthe…

The Challenge of Leadership
problems at hand do not give the insight and the leadership in solving those problems they really won't get solved. And it's been out of our cries and pain, out of the sufferings of our forefathers that we have developed such an acute perception of the meaning and validity of the Constitution of these United States that over the past quarter of a century we have been the foremost architects of its development and evolution

Growth and Convergence across the United States: Evidence from County-Level Data
We use U.S. county data (3,058 observations) and 41 conditioning variables to study growth and convergence. Using ordinary least squares (OLS) and three-stage least squares with instrumental variables (3SLS-IV), we report on the full sample and metro, nonmetro, and and regional samples: (1) OLS yields convergence rates around 2%; 3SLS yields 6%–8%; (2) convergence rates vary (for example, the Southern rate is 2.5 times the Northeastern rate); (3)…
Sigma Convergence versus Beta Convergence: Evidence from U.S. County‐Level Data
In this paper, we outline (i) why σ‐convergence may not accompany β‐convergence, (ii) discuss evidence of β‐convergence in the United States, and (iii) use U.S. county‐level data containing over 3,000 cross‐sectional observations to demonstrate that σ‐convergence cannot be detected at the county level across the United States, or within the large majority of the individual U.S. states considered separately. Indeed, in many cases statistically sig…

Austrian Business Cycle Theory: A Modern Appraisal
Austrian business cycle theory (ABCT) is a body of hypotheses embodying particularly Austrian insights and assumptions. The canonical variant associated with Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich A. Hayek is particularly well suited to the Great Depression. However, it is an inadequate account of the recent US recession and financial crisis. This chapter develops a suitable ABCT variant that explicitly incorporates not only the economy’s time structure …
