Crack-cocaine use practices, harms and respiratory problems
The use of stimulants, such as crack-cocaine, is a global public health concern. Crack-cocaine use is increasing in the UK, but available data is focused on those who inject or also use opioids. To address this gap, characteristics of people using crack-cocaine in England, including respiratory problems among those who smoke, and variation in these by gender are described. Adults self-reporting crack-cocaine use in the past 28 days, recruited by …
Risk factors associated with severe Covid-19 outcomes in Jamaica
Objectives. To describe the characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 cases in Jamaica and to explore the risk factors associated with severe COVID-19 from 9 March to 31 December 2020. Methods. A cross-sectional analysis of national surveillance data was conducted using confirmed COVID-19 cases in Jamaica. Definitions of a confirmed case, disease severity, and death were based on World Health Organization guidelines. Chi-square and Fisher exact te…
Hope in the Fractures
The Flowers of Extinction
How does one do ‘ecocritical Walter Benjamin’ in the city of London? As a professional flâneur between April 2019 and April 2020, I enlisted the support of Benjamin’s 1940 writings ‘Some Motifs in Baudelaire’ and ‘On the Concept of History’, and four poems from Charles Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du Mal. These lyrics explore entangled spaces between the human and nonhuman world. Benjamin developed two concepts – ‘shock’ and ‘shock experience’ (Chocke…

Assessment Accommodations for English Language Learners
Increased attention to large-scale assessments, the growing number of English language learners in schools, and recent inclusionary policies have collectively made assessment accommodations a hotly debated issue, especially regarding the validity of test results for English language learners. Decisions about which accommodations to use, for whom, and under what conditions, are based on limited empirical evidence for their effectiveness and validi…

The Language Factor in Mathematics Tests
In this study we investigated the importance of language in student test performance on mathematics word problems. Students were given released items from the National Assessment of Educational Progress mathematics assessment, along with parallel items that were modified to reduce their linguistic complexity. In interviews, students typically preferred the revised items over the original counterparts. Paper-and-pencil tests containing original an…
The Frames of Septimus Smith

Historical Change in Serial Verb Constructions
This work examines both historical and comparative evidence in documenting the sweep of diachronic change in the context of serial verb constructions. Using a wide range of data from languages of West Africa, Asia and the Caribbean, it demonstrates how shifts in meaning and usage result in syntactic, morphological and lexical change.The process by which verbs lose lexical semantic content and develop case-marking functions is described; it is arg…
