French speakers' use of sound symbolic patterns to assign gender to French and English nonce names
Gender-based sound symbolic patterns have been documented in corpora of given names in several languages. Name-gendering experiments show that native speakers use many, but not all, of these patterns to assign gender to nonce names in their native and non-native languages, suggesting that some patterns may be productive in speakers’ minds. This study extends this experimental work to a new language, French, by examining how French speakers assign…
Quantifying metalinguistic awareness of sociophonetic features
Metalinguistic awareness of sociophonetic features may vary based on social or individual factors (e.g. dialect region, production, perception), as well as properties of the dialects or features themselves (e.g. their markedness). It is necessary to quantify metalinguistic awareness in order to consider these relationships statistically. This study tests a method of quantifying metalinguistic awareness using three tasks (written dialect descripti…
Breaking tradition
Doctoral programs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education often include qualifying exams as a central component of the curriculum. While these exams are designed to assess a student’s knowledge and potential to conduct independent research as part of the culminating dissertation phase of their studies, they can also inadvertently perpetuate structural biases and barriers for underrepresented groups. Biostatistics pro…
Why aren't we teaching writing
Linguistics faculty are sometimes reluctant to provide explicit writing instruction in their courses. One major point of hesitancy is that there is not enough time to “add” writing to the curriculum. We argue, in contrast, that spending strategic time on writing reinforces and enriches the linguistics curriculum, rather than detracting from it. When students apply linguistics to the real world through relevant writing assignments, linguistics bec…
Production of pre-velar /æ/-raising in Colorado and Ontario
Pre-velar /æ/-raising (BAG-raising) is a process in which some speakers of North American English raise /æ/ before /g/, but not /k/. Self-report data suggests that this process occurs in Canada and regions of the US close to the Canadian border (Stanley 2022). Acoustic data seems to support this finding, with evidence f or BAG-raising across Canada (e.g. Boberg 2006), and in the Pacific Northwest (e.g. Freeman 2021), the Upper Midwest (e.g. Koffi…
Education for public health 2030
Education for public health is at a critical inflection point, and either transforms for success or fails to remain relevant. In 2020, the Association for Schools and Programs of Public Health launched an initiative, Framing the Future 2030: Education for Public Health (FTF 2030) to develop a resilient educational system for public health that promotes scientific inquiry, connects research, education, and practice, eliminates inequities, incorpor…

Marital Status, Marital Strain, and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease or Total Mortality
OBJECTIVE: To determine if marriage and marital strain are related to the 10-year coronary heart disease (CHD) incidence or total mortality. Research has demonstrated associations between marital strain and prognosis of heart disease, but little research has addressed the association between specific aspects of marital strain and incident CHD. METHODS: From 1984 to 1987, 3682 participants (mean age 48.5 +/- 10.1 (standard deviation) years; 52% wo…
Social Networks and Inflammatory Markers in the Framingham Heart Study
Lack of social integration predicts coronary heart disease mortality in prospective studies; however, the biological pathways that may be responsible are poorly understood. The specific aims of this study were to examine whether social networks are associated with serum concentrations of the inflammatory markers interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) and monocyte chemoattractant protein…
Serum Cholesterol and Cognitive Performance in the Framingham Heart Study
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between total cholesterol (TC) and cognitive performance within the context of the Framingham Heart Study, a large, community-based, prospective investigation of cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS: Participants were 789 men and 1105 women from the Framingham Heart Study original cohort who were free of dementia and stroke and who received biennial TC determinations over a 16…
Tension and Anxiety and the Prediction of the 10-Year Incidence of Coronary Heart Disease, Atrial Fibrillation, and Total Mortality
OBJECTIVE: Conflicting research findings regarding the ability of tension or anxiety to predict incident coronary heart disease (CHD) have created uncertainty in the literature. In addition, there are no prospective studies relating these characteristics to the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODS: From 1984 to 1987, 3682 participants (mean age 48.5 +/- 10.1 year; 52% women) of the Framingham Offspring Study were examined and followed…

Overweight and Obesity as Determinants of Cardiovascular Risk
Background To our knowledge, no single investigation concerning the long-term effects of overweight status on the risk for hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular sequelae has been reported. Methods Relations between categories of body mass index (BMI), cardiovascular disease risk factors, and vascular disease end points were examined prospectively in Framingham Heart Study participants aged 35 to 75 years, who w…
Validation of the Framingham Coronary Heart Disease Prediction Scores
CONTEXT: The Framingham Heart Study produced sex-specific coronary heart disease (CHD) prediction functions for assessing risk of developing incident CHD in a white middle-class population. Concern exists regarding whether these functions can be generalized to other populations. OBJECTIVE: To test the validity and transportability of the Framingham CHD prediction functions per a National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute workshop organized for thi…

Social Support Among Women Veterans
The beneficial effects of social support on well-being have been shown in various studies. Less is known about factors which constrain or enhance the availability of social support. The present study profiles social support among women veterans and attempts to identify factors which enhance or constrain perceptions of support and social integration for women of different military eras. Data are derived from a national sample of women veterans who…
Representations of Economic Autonomy and Dependency in the Newfoundland Song Repertoire, 1950–1990
No Part of Our Life
SOME CRITICS have seen the pace and nature of Newfoundland's economic development as evidence of an ambivalent embrace of modernization. Such readings of provincial economic history may acknowledge significant exogenous obstacles to regional growth — noting, for example, the foreign exploitation of provincial resources, the alteration of aqua-environments and the challenges of geographical isolation—but tend to reserve the most vigorous finger-po…
In the Path of Daedalus
In the Australian debate over the permissability of embryo experimentation, four lobby groups are equally divided into supporting and opposing parties, although for differing reasons. The scientific and the infertile women's lobbies support experimentation while the pro-life and feminist lobbies oppose it, and the recommendations of committees of enquiry as to a proper legal position tend to reflect representation of these groups in their members…
Depression among Caregivers of Impaired Elders
Studies have reported that rates of depression among caregivers are higher than in the general population. However, these studies have been limited primarily to caregivers of cognitively impaired elders. Using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression (CES-D) Scale, this study investigated depression among caregivers for physically impaired elders. The authors found that one third of these caregivers reported depressive symptoms, a lower …
Response comparability of family and staff proxies for nursing home residents
Response comparability on a wide variety of factual and judgmental information regarding nursing home residents was assessed for two proxy groups: family and staff. Family proxies had the most information. Family and staff proxies are not interchangeable. A general lack of response comparability suggests that proxies for nursing home residents should be selected in relation to the type of data needed and the time period of interest
How Important is Functional Status as a Predictor of Service Use by Older People
In studies of older people, it is often assumed that biophysical, or functional, status is the primary determinant of formal service use. This article reports baseline data from a longitudinal study of a community-based, linked random sample of frail elders (n = 635) and their informal caregivers (n = 429) to investigate the relative contribution of social circumstances to the use of community-based formal services. Elder respondents were categor…
