Exploring automated tracking of chemicals through their conditions of use to support life cycle chemical assessment
Modeling the fate of chemicals across their life cycle when considering all potential uses can be challenging because of the data gaps arising from issues like confidential business information (data accessibility) and complex processing schemes (involvement in formulations, reactions, and separations) across multiple industries, products, and applications. Thus, assessing chemicals for safety and/or sustainability requires developing an extensiv…
Small Group Learning Communities as a Prototype for Intersectional Black Feminist Praxis in Higher Education
Through the creation and analysis of Small Group Learning Communities (SGLC) at a predominantly White university in the U.S. South, this study investigated how SGLCs operationalize intersectional Black feminist praxis via dialogue, liberation, and ethic of caring. The racialized and gendered organizational dynamics that govern institutions of higher education make it an ideal site for such an intervention. Through an instrumental case study of 13…
Cross-sector decision landscape in response to Covid-19: A qualitative network mapping analysis of North Carolina decision-makers
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic response has demonstrated the interconnectedness of individuals, organizations, and other entities jointly contributing to the production of community health. This response has involved stakeholders from numerous sectors who have been faced with new decisions, objectives, and constraints. We examined the cross-sector organizational decision landscape that formed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in North Car…
Virtually Engineering Community Engagement: Training for Undergraduate Engineers During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Flood mitigation and adaptation measures, among other tools to improve resiliency, will be necessary to sustain coastal communities in the face of climate change. Key to successful adaptation will be engineering projects, and critical to the success of those projects will be community engagement and support. Despite the recognized importance of community engagement when addressing complex issues like coastal flooding on which engineers work, most…
Malthus and the Poor Law
Malthus was severely critical of the old poor law, especially when the payments paid to recipients were made in conformity to the principles adopted by the local magistrates in Speenhamland in 1795. He considered that it encouraged early and improvident marriage with unfortunate consequences. There have been a number of attempts to determine whether Malthus was justified in supposing that the old poor law had this effect, some concluding that he …
Mortality, Marriage and Population Growth in England, 1550-1850
In this short book, Razzell presents the case for autonomous shifts in mortality as the key driving force in moving England from a population of marginally more than 2 million in 1500 to one of 16.5 million in 1851. He is skeptical of the use of parish registers for historical demographic research, at least in the manner employed by the Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure, and by those who have adopted its methodolo…
Metempsychosis
This fusion of photographs and poetry, a form of arts-based inquiry, explores metempsychosis, or the transmigration of the soul, which the artists experienced at Burning Man 2013. Within this ritual space the artists experienced a metempsychosis without a physical death, entering the playa as one spiritual form and leaving as another. The artists hope to create a passageway or opening for readers to experience their own transmigrations

Suppressor Variables in Multiple Regression/Correlation
Since Horst (1941) first discussed and defined the suppressor variable in multiple regression/correlation, a number of more nearly precise definitions has been offered (Cohen and Cohen, 1975; Conger, 1974; Darlington, 1968; Velicer, 1978). This paper compares the different approaches to defining suppression, and illustrates the differences among them. Velicer's definition, which is based on the semi-partial correlation coefficient or usefulness a…

A Behavioral Examination of Mead's View of Role-Taking
According to Mead, self appears as individuals take the role of others toward their own gestures. In two investigations, the hand movements of subjects were observed as they verbalized different commands specifying hand or head movement to another person. The first investigation explored the possibility of directly observing and recording instances of role-taking. In the second, the visual accessibility between experimental subjects was varied in…

Reactivity to Systematic Observation with Film: A Field Experiment
The reluctance to use film and video equipment for systematic observation and recording can be partially attributed to an assumption of reactivity and internal invalidity. Three sources of reactivity are discussed: the activities of the observed, the activities of the observer, and the sensory access of the observed to the observer. Two observation and recording activities-movie camera and paper and pencil-were examined at two different levels of…
