Psychometric examination of the expressions of spirituality inventory-revised in the polish context
Demographic disparities in blood-borne-virus screening in two London Emergency Departments
"Opt-out" Emergency Department (ED) blood-borne-virus screening enables early diagnosis, improving outcomes. Whereas some EDs encourage verbal reminders at blood draw, others emphasise "implied consent". Associations between these approaches and screening equity have not been explored. This retrospective cohort evaluation quantified demographic disparities in screening in two EDs following "reminder model" screening rollout. Staff attitudes were …
The Government of Canada's Search for Environmental Legitimacy
Although the term "greenwash" has now entered the language, there has beenlittle academic analysis of environmental legitimacy as a factor in environmentalpolitics. This article examines claims to environmental legitimacy made by theGovernment of Canada with respect to seven policy initiatives. The most commonclaims have been: (1) action exceeds that of previous governments; (2) Canada isdoing more than other countries; (3) the policy will aid ec…
Decorrugation, edge detection, and modelling of total field magnetic observations from a historic town site, Yellowstone National Park, USA
Cinnabar, Montana is a historic town site and railroad depot near the northern edge of Yellowstone National Park and was inhabited between 1883 and 1903. Remains of foundations and old photographs help determine the area of the town, but the south and east limits are unknown. We acquired total field magnetic intensity data to help determine the full extent of the town. Randomly distributed ferrous magnetic sources on the surface and typical noise…
Coerciveness and the selection of environmental policy instruments
Degree of coerciveness is often used to categorize policy instruments. This article analyses the relative coerciveness associated with the instruments used by municipal, provincial and federal governments in Canada to address three major successive pollution threats ‐ sewage, industrial toxic waste, and greenhouse‐gas emissions ‐ that have appeared on the policy agenda over the course of the past century. During that time, there has been an overa…
Spirituality
The present article focused on the development and measurement of a factor model of the expressions of spirituality. Study 1 ( N = 534) involved the use of factor analysis to examine the latent factor structure in a sample of 11 measures of spiritual constructs. Study 2 ( N = 938) focused on the replication of Study 1 results and on the construction and initial validation of an instrument to operationalize the factor model of spirituality. Result…
Promises Made, Promises Broken
INTRODUCTIONDuring the autumn of 1997, the environment was on the front pages of Canadian newspapers in a way not seen since the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. A vigorous and very public debate over the position Canada should take at the international negotiations for a legally binding agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions was carried out amongst feuding departments and their min…
