Development, Co‐Design and Pilot Testing of Resources to Support Informed Decision‐Making for Lung Cancer Screening in Australia
Engaging Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Communities to Prepare for Lung Cancer Screening Implementation in Australia
INTRODUCTION: Lung cancer is the number one cause of cancer death worldwide, including in Australia, where more than 15,000 cases were diagnosed in 2024. The Australian National Lung Cancer Screening Programme commenced in July 2025. Unique barriers to participation in existing cancer screening programmes exist for culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities. Little Australian research has engaged these communities to gauge their acc…
Creating Meaningful Learning Opportunities through Incorporating Local Research into Chemistry Classroom Activities
Incorporating real-life context through connections to research early in the curriculum can create meaningful learning opportunities that encourage students to engage deeply with classroom content to construct chemistry knowledge. Course-based undergraduate research experiences have been successful at integrating real-life context, but are often only incorporated into upper-level courses. To provide an additional pathway to foster interaction wit…
The Structure and Hydrology of the Early Dynastic City of Lagash (Tell Al-Hiba) From Satellite and Aerial Images
Satellite imagery and UAV (drone) photos taken at Lagash (modern Tell al-Hiba) after rainstorms and at times of elevated soil moisture show dense near-surface architecture that dates mostly to the Early Dynastic III period (c. 2600–2350 BCE) and covers several hundred hectares. Archaeological knowledge of Mesopotamian urban structure has mostly been limited to isolated excavated neighbourhoods, such as at third millennium BCE Tutub (Khafajah) or …
Two Great Households of Old Babylonian Ur
Two substantial houses dating to the early second millennium BCE have recently been unearthed at separate, previously unexplored locations in Ur. Their respective owners occupied important positions of power in different spheres. One flourished ca 1840 BCE and was the chief administrator of the second most important temple in Ur. His house lay near the southern city wall, well removed from the institution with which he was associated. The second …

Public Support for Gun Violence Prevention Policies Among Gun Owners and Non–Gun Owners in 2017
Objectives. To compare public support for 24 different gun policies between gun owners and non–gun owners in 2017. Methods. We fielded a national public opinion survey in January 2017 using an online panel to measure US adults’ support for 24 gun policies. We compared support among gun owners and non–gun owners. Results. For 23 of the 24 policies examined, most respondents supported restricting or regulating gun ownership. Only 8 of 24 policies h…
Black Sheep and Kissing Cousins
When someone says, at a holiday dinner table, "Oh, those Lawrence cousins lose control all the time," or "the Davises always had more talent than luck," you can be sure there's a lesson being passed along, from one generation to another. Who tells stories to whom and about what is never a random matter. Our family stories have a secret power: they play a unique role in shaping our identity, our sense of our place in the world. The give us values,…
Differences in Reaction to Immediate Feedback and Opportunity to Revise Answers for Multiple-Choice and Open-Ended Questions
There are many reasons to believe that open-ended (OE) and multiple-choice (MC) items elicit different cognitive demands of students. However, empirical evidence that supports this view is lacking. In this study, we investigated the reactions of test takers to an interactive assessment with immediate feedback and answer-revision opportunities for the two types of items. Eighth-grade students solved mathematics problems, both MC and OE, with stand…
The Protective Association between Pet Ownership and Depression among Street-involved Youth
Street-involved youth represent a particularly vulnerable subsection of the homeless population and are at increased risk of health problems, substance abuse, and depression. Qualitative research has demon- strated that animal companions help homeless youth cope with loneliness, are motivators for positive change, such as decreasing drug or alcohol use, provide unconditional love without judgement, and improve youths' sense of health. To quantita…
Effects of Companion Animal Ownership among Canadian Street-involved Youth
In Canada, approximately 150,000 youth are homeless on any given night, and many have companion animals. Through a series of semi-structured interviews, this qualitative study explored the issues and effects of companion animal ownership among street-involved youth from the perspective of the youth themselves. "Pet before self" was the substantive theme, with first level sub-themes of "physical" and "emotional" effects. Previously unidentified fi…
Teaching Oral History in a College-Level “New Wave Immigrant Literature” Course
This article documents a pilot project teaching college students enrolled in a literature class on post-1965 (or “new wave”) immigration to do an oral history, a curricular alteration I made because the canonical texts tend to emphasize the experiences of a very small subset of immigrants. While keeping the focus on literature, my goal was to introduce students to the skills and ethical values required of an oral historian and to enrich and nuanc…
Toefl iBT speaking test scores as indicators of oral communicative language proficiency
Scores assigned by trained raters and by an automated scoring system (SpeechRater TM ) on the speaking section of the TOEFL iBTTM were validated against a communicative competence criterion. Specifically, a sample of 555 undergraduate students listened to speech samples from 184 examinees who took the Test of English as a Foreign Language Internet-based test (TOEFL iBT). Oral communicative effectiveness was evaluated both by rating scales and by …
Ancient Mesopotamia at the Dawn of Civilization
An assessment of archaeological sites in June 2008
The proposal to develop an Iraqi-British project to protect and promote cultural heritage in Southern Iraq was first mooted at a lunch in the British Museum on 24 September 2007, involving Major-General Barney White-Spunner, Charles Moore, former editor of the Daily Telegraph, Neil MacGregor, Director of the British Museum, and John Curtis, Keeper of the Department of the Middle East at the British Museum. The lunch had been arranged to provide M…
Transnationalism as a Motif in Family Stories
Family stories have long been recognized as a vehicle for assessing components of a family's emotional and social life, including the degree to which an immigrant family has been willing to assimilate. Transnationalism, defined as living in one or more cultures and maintaining connections to both, is now increasingly common. A qualitative study of family stories in the family of those who appear completely "American" suggests that an affiliation …

Old Man Koheleth
him, and yet he is there. And as surely as food gives a fragrance and drums resound, Koheleth gives us his own particular light, whether he is one or many men, whether the page has felt the point of one or many pens. It seems to me that the mystery of who or what he was, and where or how he wrote is one of those blank pages in our knowledge which would not make too much difference if it were full. To say that there was no Koheleth is like saying …
