Diversifying the Workforce Through Focused Support of Nursing Students With Socioeconomic Challenges
Background Diversifying the nursing workforce entails concerted efforts to recruit and retain students from under-represented racial and socioeconomic groups who are especially vulnerable to barriers hindering academic success. This article describes faculty strategies for retaining and supporting students toward program completion and first-time National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEXRN) passage at a mission-driven sc…
Adapting wild biodiversity conservation approaches to conserve agrobiodiversity
Structured decision-making shows broad support from diverse stakeholders for habitat conservation and restoration in Kenya’s Central Highlands
The need for targeted restoration in regions where ecosystem integrity has become compromised is now widely recognised. Local community views, alongside those of other stakeholders, should be incorporated into transparent decision-making to ensure conservation/restoration activities are successful. We used a structured decision-making approach, working with stakeholders and local communities, to pose and answer the following question for Kenya’s …
Understanding the Market Drivers Behind the Reduced Demand for Ivory Products in Japan
Reducing demand for wildlife products has been recognised as an important global priority. However, consumer demand is a complicated phenomenon involving numerous interacting biological and socio-economic factors, operating at a range of scales and time periods. The demand for elephant ivory is an excellent illustration of the gaps in our current knowledge. Although it is well-documented that Japan is no longer a significant destination consumer …
Challenges in the impact evaluation of behaviour change interventions
Robust impact evaluations are needed for conservation to learn and grow as a field. Currently we lack a large body of evidence on the effects of behaviour change interventions in social‐ecological systems. By uncovering mechanistic relationships and establishing causality we can refine future programmes to enhance likelihood of effectiveness. Although a range of sophisticated methodological approaches to evaluation have been developed, conceptual…
Facebook language predicts depression in medical records
Significance Depression is disabling and treatable, but underdiagnosed. In this study, we show that the content shared by consenting users on Facebook can predict a future occurrence of depression in their medical records. Language predictive of depression includes references to typical symptoms, including sadness, loneliness, hostility, rumination, and increased self-reference. This study suggests that an analysis of social media data could be u…

Local Perspectives on Conflicts with Wildlife and Their Management in the Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserve, Mexico
Human-wildlife conflict (HWC) is a widespread issue of increasing concern to conservationists, as it impacts people's lives and livelihoods and reduces their tolerance to the species concerned. HWC is often interpreted as a result of people encroaching upon and destroying natural habitats, but some incidents could be linked to economically driven emigration that results in depopulation and institutional and cultural disruption. Here we use an eth…

Lowland Floodplain Responses to Extreme Flood Events
Targeted studies of waterlogged burial environments allow researchers to gain holistic insights into the physico-chemical and biological condition of wetlands that have the potential to contain organic remains of both anthropogenic and biogenic origin. Recent research has shown that microbial community diversity and functioning are intimately linked to physical and chemical parameters, such that environmental perturbations may have the potential …
Changes in the Physico-Chemical and Microbial Nature of Wetlands from the Leaching of Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA)-Treated Wood
Microbial activities are responsible for reducing the harmful effects of pollutants in different burial environments. Within wetlands in particular, microorganisms play an important role in the transformation of heavy metals and metalloids via direct or indirect oxidation/reduction. In turn, these microbial transformations can lead to the detoxification of pollutant elements such as copper, chromium and arsenic that comprise CCA-treated wood.CCA …
The impact of media coverage on the transmission dynamics of human influenza
The effects of media on an outbreak are complex. Simplified understandings of disease epidemiology, propogated through media soundbites, may make the disease significantly worse

Propositions to a Marxist Theory of Personality
In the absence of a comprehensive Marxist theory of personality, this article sets out propositions believed to be fundamental to the articulation of such a theory. They comprise five premises relevant to the ontological nature of the person and four underlying expressive personality characteristics. Differences between the proposed theory and traditional theories are illustrated on such dimensions as sociohistorical influence, the nature of indi…
The OptAids project
Introduction We face a unique, transitory opportunity in the history of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, because we have collectively pooled money faster than the epidemic has grown [1]. Can we then seize the moment and halt this epidemic now? Most scenarios for the future of HIV/AIDS project modest reductions spread out over decades [2]. The very timescale of such projections, beyond the persistence time of all models, makes them unreliable [3]. Can we do…
Can we spend our way out of the Aids epidemic? A world halting Aids model
Eradication of AIDS is feasible, using the tools that we have currently to hand, but action needs to occur immediately. If not, then HIV/AIDS will race beyond our ability to afford it
Halting HIV/Aids with avatars and havatars
Havatars place the control parameters of an epidemic in the hands of each individual. By providing tools that everyone can understand and use, we could democratise epidemiology
In Defense of National Character
The concept of national character has a long and disputed history, serving at one time as a meeting point for anthropology and psychology, later as a signpost for the parting of the ways. Cultural anthropology has traditionally given ontological priority to culture over the individual and to values as relative over universal; psychology has increasingly pursued the reverse. Current trends in cross-cultural psychology—employing a biological trait …
Evaluating human papillomavirus vaccination programs in Canada
We recommend that provincial healthcare programs should pay for voluntary adult vaccination for women aged 14-26. However, it should be noted that our model results are preliminary, in that we have made a number of simplifying assumptions, including a lack of age-dependency in sexual partner rates, a lack of sexual activity outside of the vaccine age-range among females and a uniform age of sexual debut; thus, further work is desired to enhance t…
Machiavellianism and Psychopathy
Western theory and research has found a positive relationship between the Machiavellian personality (Mach) and the Primary Psychopath (PP). Joint symptoms include affective poverty, lack of remorse/guilt, and manipulativeness. We explored the Mach-PP relationship in a culture which changed radically after 1990 from socialism to capitalism

The Women of Suye Mura
Japanese women are frequently perceived by foreigners as stereotypes. Pictured as compliant, long-suffering, and charming in a childlike way, they are said to be child-centered and restricted in their interests and actions to the domestic realm. appear as victim, pawn, or tragic heroine: Madame Chrysanthemum, Madame Butterfly, and even the impossible Mariko of Shogun. The Women of Mura provides a rich body of information by means of which such st…

Gender Inequality in Contemporary Japan
It has been suggested recently that the time has come for those who have focused too narrowly on the position of women in Japanese society to recast the terms of their inquiry as the study of gender. Such a shift will broaden and enrich our understanding of Japanese society and culture, it is claimed, because is a relational concept and considering gender . . . requires that all domains be examined for the relational structures they embody. ' It …

The Measurement of Benefits of Trout Fishing
This paper is concerned with the empirical estimation of a Clawson style demand curve for a trout fishery, based upon data relating to Grafham Water, Huntingdon, England. In Section A the economist's approach to recreation valuations and various approaches to the measurement of recreational benefits are discussed. The basis of the Clawson approach is a relationship between distance and visitation rates from zones surrounding the fishery. A statis…

The Origins of Japan's Modern Forests
The woodlands of Japan vary substantially from north to south, and the patterns of their use and abuse differed from area to area during the Edo, or early modern, period (1600–1868). Nevertheless, the basic characteristics and rhythms of forest history were common to all of Japan (except the sparsely populated northern island of Hokkaidō). It is possible, therefore, to illuminate the general experience by scrutinizing a section of the whole. The …

The Psychopath as Moral Agent
The psychological literature dealing with the psychopath' is mainly concentrated on psychiatric case histories of antisocial depredations, or with measurement of this diagnostic category via physiological,' attitudinal,3 and familial correlates.4 Recently, however, philosophers have shown increasing interest in the psychopath as a paradigm case in examining value theory, moral responsibility, and even rationality. The psychopath is a direct chall…
Making Village Women into "Good Wives and Wise Mothers" in Prewar Japan
Among the many programs undertaken by the Japanese government between 1868 and 1945 was one designed to make of Japanese women "good wives and wise mothers. " The principal vehicle used in the effort to produce paragons of domestic virtue was the school system. The field materials collected in the mid- 1930s by Ella Lury Wiswell in the agricultural community of Suye-mura include excellent firsthand information on the degree to which the policy wa…
Japanese and American Perceptions of Occupations
Seniors in Japanese and American high schools were asked to compare occupations as to prestige, social importance, and income. The prestige ranks given were similar to those found in other studies. Their differences in the matter of social importance werer small. The relationship of social importance to prestige was positive and to income was negative; both correlations were low in magnitude

Comparative Studies in Anthropology of the Interrelations Between Social and Technological Change
The intent of this paper is to review some selected studies from the general field of culture change which feature comparative research as it has been applied to the interrelations of social and technological change. The scope and variety of the published materials are remarkable, as Lewis has pointed out:There are comparisons between single culture traits, between institutions, between sub-cultures, between areas, nations and civilizations.

Parental Authority and Job Choice
A study of the codes of conduct of high-school seniors in defying or yielding to parental authority in choosing an occupation was conducted in Japan, the Philippines, and the United States. Respondents in all three cultures allow greater freedom from parental control for young men than young women. This double standard is accepted by both sexes. Female respondents allowed more freedom to both sexes than did male respondents. With respect to the d…

Further Evidence for Two Varieties of Nonconformity
In a brief follow-up study the attitudes expressed by three empirically defined groups, conformers, independents, and anticonformers, related very closely to those found with a previous male college sample (Smith, 1967). The earlier significant correlation between a scale of attitudes and one of response style also held. A scale to measure psychological anomie reflected significant group differences in this study as was expected from previous the…
