Impacts of racial diversity and firm size on union voting behavior in Alabama
Private sector unionization drives have recently increased after decades of decline. Previous research largely focused on predictors of unionization internal to firms. In this study, we use historical data from 1986 to 2017 in Alabama to show that racial distribution in the surrounding county also influences the likelihood of successful unionization votes
Informal settlements and the care of children 0–3 years of age
Background: There is a rapid increase in urbanization with a high percentage of people living in poverty in urban informal settlements. These families, including single parents, are requiring accessible and affordable childcare. In Mlolongo, an informal settlement in Machakos County in Nairobi metropolitan area, Kenya, childcare centres, referred to as 'babycares' are increasing in number. They are being provided by local community members withou…

Medical education and population health—A framework in the design of a new undergraduate program
Health sciences curricular planners are challenged to add new content to established education programs. There is increasing pressure for content in public health, health systems, global health, and planetary health. These important areas often compete for curricular time. What is needed is a convergence model that builds a common framework within which students can integrate areas and better align this knowledge to the individual client or patie…
Child disability and family-centred care in East Africa
Further education and data are needed to inform family-centred care and multidisciplinary team implementation across East African care contexts for children with disabilities

Perceived ethnic discrimination and social exclusion
This article examines relationships between perceived ethnic discrimination, social exclusion, psychosocial functioning, and academic performance among newcomer immigrant children from the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong, and the Philippines using a subsample from the New Canadian Children and Youth Study of children aged 11-13 years (1,053) living in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, and the Prairies. Bivariate analysis showed that 25% of chil…

The Long Parliament goes to war
As England lurched towards war in 1642, the Westminster parliament had already become embroiled in a lengthy and costly war of reconquest in Ireland. An examination of the war effort in Ireland reveals the scale of parliament's commitment to sustained long-distance warfare, the range of initiatives developed to harness the necessary political and material resources, and its increasing reliance upon an emerging war interest of investors and suppli…

Standardized Class Intervals and Rate Computation in Statistical Maps of Mortality
The standard deviation of a set of mortality or morbidity rates for areal units can be used to establish class intervals for mapping. Use of standard, rather than arbitrarily selected, mapping categories will reduce bias and error in map interpretation. The method of rate calculation employed will affect variation among rate values as well as the nature of the frequency distribution. Crude and age-adjusted rates are chosen to suit the purpose of …
