Self-Reported Psychosis Spectrum Symptoms Among Sexual and Gender Diverse Emerging Adults Screened for a Suicide Prevention Trial
Psychosis spectrum symptoms, including a range of unusual thoughts and perceptual abnormalities, are markers of increased vulnerability to psychotic disorders. Sexual and gender diverse (SGD) populations experience higher rates of psychotic disorders than the general population, raising the possibility that emerging adult SGD individuals may also report elevated psychosis spectrum experiences. We hypothesized that SGD emerging adults would report…

The Green Encounters: “Common Good” Narrative and Community Struggle in Halimun Salak Coridor, West Java
Since the colonial era of the East Indies, multiple ruling regimes have promoted a certain narrative to utilize the forests on Mount Halimun Salak for nature preservation and profit accumulation. Existing studies of the designation of Halimun Salak as a conservation area have shown that such an establishment led to conflicts over land and livelihoods with the surrounding communities and local farmers. Complementing these studies, my qualitative r…
Using the interRAI brief mental health screener to identify persons with mental disorders having repeat contact with police
Costs and Savings Associated With the Police Use of the interRAI Brief Mental Health Screener
Background: The police response to calls for service identified as being related to mental health continues to be highly controversial. Strategies to improve the police response include Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training and various forms of co-response models neither of which have been subjected to comprehensive evaluations, particularly as to cost-efficiency. A new approach is the use of the interRAI Brief Mental Health Screener to enhance…

An evaluation of contemporary China’s land use policy – The Link Policy: A case study from Ezhou, Hubei Province
Happiness and Justice
This chapter focuses on Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz’s philosophical reflections on happiness and justice. It begins with a discussion of the two central concepts of Leibniz’s moral theory: disinterested love and love (or charity) of the wise. It then looks at Leibniz’s efforts to ground the happiness of man in virtue and the good of others, as well as his views about the good that moves us to act. Leibniz argues that it is our perfection that const…

The physical and non-physical factors that influence perceived access to urban parks
Conservation on private land: A review of global strategies with a proposed classification system
With parks and protected areas insufficient to sustain global biodiversity, the role of private land in biodiversity conservation is becoming increasingly significant. This paper reviews global voluntary and involuntary strategies for private land conservation. Involuntary strategies can achieve effective conservation outcomes, but often lack social acceptability. In contrast, voluntary strategies enjoy greater social acceptance but may not achie…

An Emergency Department-Based Brief Intervention for Veterans at Risk for Suicide (Safe VET)
Reducing deaths from veteran suicide is a public health priority for veterans who receive their care from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and those who receive services in community settings. Emergency departments frequently function as the primary or sole point of contact with the health care system for suicidal individuals; therefore, they represent an important venue in which to identify and treat veterans who are at risk for suicide. …

Disinterested Love: Understanding Leibniz's Reconciliation of Self- and Other-Regarding Motives
While he was in the employ of the Elector of Mainz, between 1668 and 1671, Leibniz produced a series of important studies in natural law. One of these, dated between 1670 and 1671, is especially noteworthy since it contains Leibniz's earliest sustained attempt to develop an account of justice. Central to this account is the notion of what Leibniz would later come to call `disinterested love', a notion that remained essentially unchanged in Leibni…

A Theory of Urban Park Geography
A theory of urban park values is presented using the theory of island biogeography as an analogue. The theory predicts that two factors—the size of park and distance from concentrated human habitation—influence the diversity of park values. The theory posits the diversity of human values for parks will increase with park size while the diversity of park values will decrease further from concentrated areas of human habitation. Spatial data from a …

Leibniz's Endgame and the Ladies of the Courts
In 1676 Leibniz reluctantly left Paris, headed for Hanover, to take up the position of counselor and librarian to Johann Friedrich, duke of BrunswickâLÃ1⁄4neburgâCalenberg. He was to remain in the employ of a succession of dukes and electors of Hanoverâthe last being Georg Ludwig, who became George I of England in 1714âuntil his death in November 1716. During this time he also became a familiar at the court in Berlin of the elector of Brandenburg…

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Crossover Study of the Effect of Exogenous Melatonin on Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome
OBJECTIVE: The effects of exogenous melatonin on sleep, daytime sleepiness, fatigue, and alertness were investigated in 22 patients with delayed sleep phase syndrome whose nocturnal sleep was restricted to the interval from 24:00 to 08:00 hours. This study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial. Subjects received either placebo or melatonin (5 mg) daily for 4 weeks, underwent a 1-week washout period, and then were give…
The Redesign of Advanced Patrol Training for Police Constables in Ontario: Making Use of Evaluation to Maximize Organizational Effectiveness and Efficiency
The use of evaluation to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of the Ontario Police College in the delivery of a refresher training program for police officers is described. Confronted by a growing backlog of patrol officers requiring refresher training and ongoing financial constraints, in 1997 the College, in co-operation with Ontario police services, initiated a comprehensive refresher training needs analysis. A multi-stage, multi-method …

Compossibility, Harmony, and Perfection in Leibniz
I assume that the reader has some acquaintance with the standard interpretation of Leibniz's account of creation: God has chosen to create the best of all possible worlds, where each possible world is taken to be a maximal of mutually compossible complete individual concepts.' (Compossibility of concepts is standardly taken to mean logical consistency of concepts.2) Moreover, in choosing a particular world God has not only actualized a set of ind…
Quantitative Data Analysis for Social Scientists
From the Publisher: Most introductions to the techniques of statistical analysis concentrate on the often complex statistical formulae involved. Many students find these formulae extremely daunting, yet in practice computers are increasingly used to perform the same calculations in seconds. Quantitative Data Analysis for Social Scientists is designed as a non-technical guide, ignoring the traditional formulaic methods and introducing students to …
