Substance Use and the Self-Management of Persistent Symptoms of Covid-19
Background: Understanding the self-management practices of persistent symptoms of SARS-Cov-2 (COVID-19) is critical given the misinformation that has been presented about this disease in the U.S. The purpose of this descriptive study is to assess the self-management of persistent symptoms of COVID-19 with commonly used and misused substances (i.e., alcohol, marijuana and commonly prescribed medications) among adults in the U.S. Methods: The data …
Comparison of Pre-Diagnosis Physical Activity and Its Correlates between Lung and Other Cancer Patients: Accelerometer Data from the UK Biobank Prospective Cohort
Purpose: Physical activity (PA) plays an important role in health outcomes for people with cancer, and pre-diagnosis PA influences PA behaviors after cancer treatment. Less is known about the PA of lung cancer patients, and the strong history of smoking could influence pre-diagnosis levels of PA and place them at risk for health problems. This study aimed to compare pre-diagnosis PA and its correlates in patients with lung cancer and other types …
Technology-Enhanced 4Active Intervention Impacting Psychological Well-Being and Physical Activity among Older Adults: A Pilot Study

Associations between health literacy and preventive health behaviors among older adults: Findings from the health and retirement study
In a subsample of older adult participants of the HRS, measures of health literacy were positively related to several health promoting behaviors and health-related beliefs and non-use of breast self-exams, a screening behavior of questionable benefit. These relationships varied however, between self-reported and objectively-measured health literacy. Further investigation into the specific mechanisms that lead higher literacy people to pursue heal…
Making Feminist Sense out of ‘Charlie Wilson's War’
Charlie Wilson's War (2007), Mike Nichols's film about the womanizing Congressman who engineered black funds for the CIA's proxy war in Soviet-occupied Afghanistan, is historically misleading but highly instructive, because in packaging dominant American masculine identity and war politics as popular entertainment for post-9/11 audiences, it reveals the sexed and gendered 'politics of the visual' in global affairs. This intertextual study of 'Cha…

Lessons on Market Revolution: What's a Body to Do? A Series of Personal Dilemmas
One of the greatest difficulties we have in teaching about the market revolution stems from our complete embrace of the claims of our economic system: that the laws of markets are laws of nature, and that capitalistic behavior is human nature. Both of these claims derive from the efforts of Adam Smith and other theorists writing in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to free economic life from controls once imposed by the church, the state, a…
The Market Revolution in Early America: An Introduction
For at least a dozen years now historians have talked about a “market revolution” that marked the history of the United States during the first half of the nineteenth century. Charles G. Sellers's book by that name (1991) suggests a particular, synthetic explanation of changes that reshaped American life during the so-called “Age of Jackson”; but other historians, before and since, have used the term a bit more loosely to refer to a host of devel…
Where Is the Woman in This Text? Frances Power Cobbe's Voices in Broken Lights
I N 1864 FRANCES POWER COBBE jumped into the still-churning waters of Essays and Reviews (1860) and Colenso's Pentateuch (1862) with a book that put the case against an infallible Revelation even more frankly than these men had liked or dared. Broken Lights , her main contribution to the mid-Victorian Bible wars, went through at least eight editions and, next to her Duties of Women (1881), was the “most successful” of her books ( Life 2: 370). Id…
