Evolving Faith
Faith and spirituality have long been recognized as important components of recovery from mental illness, yet little is known about how these experiences evolve over time or the extent to which individuals feel supported by mental health professionals in pursuing them. This study explored how peer support workers’ experiences with spirituality and faith change over time, how they perceive the role of spirituality in their recovery, and how suppor…
Mortgage delinquency, foreclosure, and cognition in later life
The rapid growth in housing insecurity among older adults is a major public health concern. While there is evidence that stress contributes to poor health, the relationship between housing-related financial stressors and cognitive functioning is relatively unknown. We investigated the association between the personal experiences of mortgage delinquency and foreclosure and cognition and its sub-components of episodic memory and mental status among…
U.S. Army North in the Hurricane Maria Response
U.S. Army North led Department of Defense support to civilian disaster-response operations in the wake of hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017. RAND was asked to answer a series of questions about that support, including about relationships among responding organizations and possible improvements in such things as speed of response and situational awareness.
SciPy 1.0
SciPy is an open-source scientific computing library for the Python programming language. Since its initial release in 2001, SciPy has become a de facto standard for leveraging scientific algorithms in Python, with over 600 unique code contributors, thousands of dependent packages, over 100,000 dependent repositories and millions of downloads per year. In this work, we provide an overview of the capabilities and development practices of SciPy 1.0…
Form and function of conditional constructions in the Gumuz language of Metekel zone
This paper describes not only the forms of the limited number of conditional constructions in Gumuz [guk] but also their various functions as found primarily in natural texts collected from a variety of districts within Metekel Zone in northwestern Ethiopia
José Soler
This interview with José Soler addresses the intersections of nationalism and socialism in the struggle for Puerto Rican national liberation. Soler (b. 1945) served as national (US) president of the Puerto Rican Socialist Party (PSP) and supported decolonization efforts in the Americas and Africa. He worked as a labor organizer and labor journalist in the US and Puerto Rico, and recently retired as director of the Arnold M. Dubin Labor Education …
Ode to the American Century
This article examines the founding of Jobs with Justice, one of the most influential union-community coalitions of the post–New Deal order. More than two decades before the Occupy movement mobilized scorn against the “1 percent,” Jobs with Justice convened its coalitions by directing popular ire toward the “corporate robber barons.” While its anticorporate vision propelled its efforts to advance union struggle “beyond the ruins” of the Reagan era…

American Public Support for U.S. Military Operations from Mogadishu to Baghdad
The support of the American public is widely held to be a critical prerequisite for undertaking military action abroad. This monograph describes American public opinion toward wars and other large military operations over the last decade, to delineate the sources of support and opposition for each war or operation, to identify the principal fault lines in support, and to illuminate those factors that are consistent predictors of support for and o…
Small Town Health Care Safety Nets
Context: Very little is known about the health care safety net in small towns, especially in towns where there is no publicly subsidized safety‐net health care. Purpose: This pilot study of the primary care safety net in 7 such communities was conducted to start building knowledge about the rural safety net. Methods: Interviews were conducted and secondary data collected to assess the community need for safety‐net care, the health care safety‐net…
Effects of Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide on U.S. Peak Electrical Generating Capacity
Concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide and of other greenhouse gases are steadily increasing and may raise global average surface temperatures at least 3.6° F (2°C) by 2050. This temperature increase may result in the need for additional peak electrical generating capacity for many electrical utilities in the United States, due primarily to increased demand for summer cooling. Calculations for the state of Minnesota suggest about an 11 perc…
Assessing the Quality of Care for Urinary Tract Infection in Office Practice A Comparative Organizational Study
As part of a comprehensive evaluation of care received by enrollees in a prepaid community health care project, we studied the process of care for enrollees reported to have a urinary tract infection. The care given to 98 patients enrolled in a large prepaid group practice (PGP) and 69 patients seen by 45 physicians in the independent practice setting (IPP) was analyzed. We found the process of care to be significantly better in the PGP, with a l…
