Who Lost Afghanistan? Samuel Huntington and the Decline of Strategic Thinking
Numerous reflections exist regarding who should be held accountable and what lessons should be learned from the military withdrawal and political collapse of Afghanistan. This essay argues that the failures in Afghanistan are second- and third-order effects of a failure of strategic thinking on behalf of civilian and military leadership alike. I argue that this failure of strategic thinking is caused, in part, by the overreliance on concepts of c…
Oceanic metamorphoses: Easter Island, Paul Gauguin and "magic art" through the eyes of the surrealists
During the 20th century the French surrealist group evinced a long-standing interest in Pacific culture, spanning from their early exhibitions of the 1920s to their later writings of the postwar period. The group’s intellectual investment in the Pacific endured and survived significant transformations within surrealist discourse itself, and accordingly the region came to attract new and more nuanced theoretical significance over time. This articl…

Choosing between CT colonography and colonoscopy in the diagnostic context: A qualitative study of influences on patient preferences
Objective To explore information needs and preferences on diagnostic bowel tests and elicit preferences for CT colonography (CTC) vs. colonoscopy (CC). Background CTC is a new technology for large‐bowel imaging that has been widely assumed to be more acceptable than CC because it is non‐invasive. Design Semi‐structured focus groups discussing information choices and procedure preferences. Setting and participants Non‐patient sample of 26 asymptom…
Attitudes to colorectal cancer screening among ethnic minority groups in the UK
Educational materials should recognise that non-white groups may be less knowledgeable about colorectal cancer. The findings of the current study suggest that embarrassment may be a greater deterrent to participation to FS screening among ethnic minority groups, but this result requires exploration in further research
Socioeconomic differences in cancer screening participation: Comparing Cognitive and Psychosocial Explanations
Mitochondrial DNA Variation in Nicobarese Islanders
The aboriginal populations living in the Nicobar Islands are hypothesized to be descendants of people who were part of early human dispersals into Southeast Asia. However, analyses of ethnographic histories, languages, morphometric data, and protein polymorphisms have not yet resolved which worldwide populations are most closely related to the Nicobarese. Thus, to explore the origins and affinities of the Nicobar Islanders, we analyzed mitochondr…
