Stability of School Contributions to Student Social-Emotional Learning Gains
Purpose: Recent attempts to measure schools’ influence on students’ social-emotional learning (SEL) show differences across schools, but whether these estimated differences measure the true effects of schools remain unclear. To better understand these measures, we examine the stability of estimated school-by-grade effects across 2 years using large-scale survey data. Research Methods: We use 3 years of student SEL survey data from five large urba…
What Makes Content Engaging? How Emotional Dynamics Shape Success
Some cultural products (e.g., books and movies) catch on and become popular, while others fail. Why? While some have argued that success is unpredictable, we suggest that period-to-period shifts in sentiment-what we term sentiment volatility-enhance engagement. Automated sentiment analysis of over 4,000 movies demonstrates that more volatile movies are evaluated more positively. Consistent with the notion that sentiment volatility makes experienc…
Greenhouse gas emissions and energy use associated with production of individual self-selected US diets
Human food systems are a key contributor to climate change and other environmental concerns. While the environmental impacts of diets have been evaluated at the aggregate level, few studies, and none for the US, have focused on individual self-selected diets. Such work is essential for estimating a distribution of impacts, which, in turn, is key to recommending policies for driving consumer demand towards lower environmental impacts. To estimate …
Estimated Maternal Pesticide Exposure from Drinking Water and Heart Defects in Offspring
Our objective was to examine the relationship between estimated maternal exposure to pesticides in public drinking water and the risk of congenital heart defects (CHD). We used mixed-effects logistic regression to analyze data from 18,291 nonsyndromic cases with heart defects from the Texas Birth Defects Registry and 4414 randomly-selected controls delivered in Texas from 1999 through 2005. Water district-level pesticide exposure was estimated by…

Using peer-assisted learning to teach and evaluate residents’ musculoskeletal skills
Although direct observation and corrective feedback are established methods of increasing select aspects of residents' musculoskeletal (MSK) clinical skills, the evaluation and management of patients with MSK complaints remains an underemphasized part of internal medicine training. This paper reports on the development of an innovative peer-assisted learning (PAL) model to teach five MSK areas (back, knee, shoulder, neck, or hip pain). Based on d…

Transformations of the Inner Self in Ancient Religions
This collection of papers from two workshops - held in Heidelberg, Germany, in July 1996 and Jerusalem, Israel, in October 1997 - is concerned with anthropological rather than theological aspects of the Near Eastern and Mediterranean religions, ranging from the 'primary' religions of the archaic period and their complex developments in Egypt and Mesopotamia to the 'soteriological' movements and 'secondary' religions that emerged in Late Antiquity…
An Attributional Analysis of Jurors' Judgments in a Criminal Case
A study was conducted to determine the extent to which attributional complexity influences juror decision-making. Using Fletcher's (1986) attributional complexity scale, mock jurors ( N =186), who were shown a videotape of a simulated armed robbery, then rendered individual judgments on the case. The results showed that attributionally-simple subjects found the defendant guilty more often both before and after presentation of the evidence, report…
The Thorvaldsen daguerreotype
In recent correspondence with me, Mr Helmut Gernsheim has raised several problems concerning the dating of the Thorvaldsen daguerreotype1. In particular, he mentions that Neubourg would have given wide publicity to his ability to make portraits in 1840, had he in fact been able to do so. The suggestion is that the Thorvaldsen portrait must have been taken some time later, probably in Italy. On this matter, several new facts have recently come to …
The Thorvaldsen daguerreotype
An important photographic exhibition was held in the Industripalats in Stockholm from 3rd to 18th November 1894, and among the notable items on display was an old wholeplate daguerreotype portrait of the famous Danish sculptor Albert Thorvaldsen. It had been made available to the Swedish-German photographer Jäger from Stuttgart, who also offered it to the Thorvaldsen Museum in Copenhagen for DKr 3000. The museum thought the price was too high, bu…
