How Gun Violence Exposure Influences Racial Health Disparities among Adults in the United States
Gun violence is a pressing public health concern that disproportionately affects racial and ethnic minorities in the United States (US). This study examined whether gun violence exposure (GVE) connects socioeconomic disadvantage to racial disparities in health among US adults. Data came from a nationally representative 2024 survey of 7,066 Black, Hispanic, and White adults. Individual- and community-level disadvantage were measured alongside a fi…
‘Pimps” Self-presentations in the Interview Setting
Using a mixed-method approach, we explored how 85 sex market facilitators used neutralization and subcultural discourse to present themselves in the interview setting. We used non-metric, Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) to test discursive themes that resulted in a three-fold model with the themes ‘good,’’bad,’ and ‘badass me’ with externalizing and internalizing approaches. The ‘good me’ subtype focused on fundamentally being a ”nice guy” but blam…

The 14th Brazil Russia India China South Africa (BRICS) Summit hosted by China on the 23rd and 24th of June 2022 has significance for world politics and global governance. Emerging powers or rising powers have in recent times had significance in terms of global governance. The emergence of rising powers and the subsequent shift in power from the Global North to the Global South can be seen as the new transformations that are occurring in the inte…
Resolving the influence of local flows on urban heat amplification during heatwaves
Heatwaves have implications for human health and ecosystem function. Over cities, the impacts of a heatwave event may be compounded by urban heat, where temperatures over the urban area are higher than their rural surroundings. Coastal cities often rely upon sea breezes to provide temporary relief. However, topographic features contributing to the development of Foehn-like conditions can offset the cooling influence of sea breezes. Using convecti…

Achieving Education for All in Post-Conflict Cambodia
Cambodia has made good progress in rebuilding its education system after three decades of conflict and isolation. Enrollments are growing, administration is improving, and large numbers of schools have been rehabilitated. A number of innovative and mutually reinforcing programs have energized local administrators and resourced schools, building on early efforts to rebuild capacity. These are, however, not sufficient conditions for improving educa…
