The Family Centered Treatment (FCT) Model
The assessment and outcomes of this paper determined the effectiveness of the Family Centered Treatment (FCT) model of providing care in child protective services. The data presented in this survey represented over 200 respondents from regions across the United States. This collection of supervisors, clinicians, and support staff had been introduced to or had experience with using the FCT foundation model. The study aimed to determine the model's…
Critical thinking and simulation in child welfare
An evaluation of the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) revealed child welfare professionals required more comprehensive pre-service training. The REAL AcademyTM (RA) provided training in critical reasoning, high-fidelity simulation, and administrative tethering. This article is an evaluation of the effectiveness of the redesigned training process. We collected quantitative and qualitative data from five cadres of trainees, includi…
College Classroom Instructors Can Effectively Promote Standing among Students Provided with Standing Desks
Standing desks may reduce sedentary behaviors in college students. Students at one mid-size urban university in the Midwestern United States were randomized into intervention ( n = 21) and control groups ( n = 27) to assess standing time when given access to standing desks. The intervention group received visual and oral instructor prompts to stand, while the control received no prompts during a 50 min lecture. All students were provided with adj…
Gender differences in the associations of reappraisal and humor styles
Reappraisal is an effective emotion regulation strategy that draws on cognitive processes–like changing one’s thoughts to change one’s feelings–that are similar to those implicated in humor. Yet, very little is known about the links between the dispositional tendency to use reappraisal and individuals’ humor styles (e. g. aggressive, affiliative, self-deprecating, self-enhancing). Importantly, there are gender differences both in emotion regulato…
Transforming Disaster Response
Inter-Institutional Partnerships
A National Research Council report recently addressed the need for enhanced education and training in the interdisciplinary field of forensic science. The Institute of Medicine and the American Psychological Association, among others, have also expressed the importance of interdisciplinary education. This article describes a unique partnership at a Regional Higher Education Center using an interdisciplinary, inter-institutional approach to the de…
The Impact of Population Ageing on House Prices
This study attempts to estimate the impact of population ageing on house prices. There is considerable debate about whether population ageing puts downwards or upwards pressure on house prices. The empirical approach differs from earlier studies of this relationship, which are mainly regression analyses of macro time‐series data. A micro‐simulation methodology is adopted that combines a macro‐level house price model with a micro‐level household f…

Why old soldiers cannot be allowed to simply fade away
Ikin and colleagues’1 research findings published in this issue of JECH demonstrate all too clearly why old soldiers cannot be allowed to simply fade away ( see page 359 ). As these authors summarise in their introduction, the public health literature has increasingly documented both the short- and long-term effects of war on mental and physical disorders in military veterans. Their current work highlights how the impact of war may be even greate…
Transdisciplinary research strategies for understanding socially patterned disease
As we have seen a global increase in asthma in the past three decades it has also become clear that it is a socially patterned disease, based on demographic and socioeconomic indicators clustered by areas of residence. This trend is not readily explained by traditional genetic paradigms or physical environmental exposures when considered alone. This has led to consideration of the interplay among physical and psychosocial environmental hazards an…

I'd sell you suicide
Music makes mutations audible. (Attali 1977)In his opening remarks as host of the 1998 Grammy Award Show, sitcom actor, substance abuser and convicted drunk driver Kelsey Grammer promised that Marilyn Manson's 'skinny white ass' would not be appearing on the show. It was a truly extraordinary moment. Referring explicitly to his own teenage daughter, Spencer, Grammer couched this slur in the form of an inside joke for the baby boomer parents of ch…

The Moral Animal
A World Mission
Wright examines these churches' historical connections with the outside world and their newly cultivated interest in international politics. He argues that the clerical and missionary elite's vision of new internationalism was burdened by essentially Victorian ideas of the inherent superiority of Protestant Christianity, political democracy, and Anglo-Saxon race characteristics. Tensions between its traditional world view and the new realities of…

Johnny Ward's Ranch
In 1959–1960 Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society members excavated the ruins of an Anglo-American ranch house in southern Arizona dating between 1859 and 1903. Pottery, stone, and shell Piman-Indian artifacts were recovered, but most artifacts were non-Indian: metal, paper, rubber, pottery, and glass. These are analyzed and described in detail, especially square cut nails and tin cans. The site vegetation is also analyzed and a discussi…

History's Heavy Attrition
In America's bicentennial year, Friendly Fire author C.D.B. Bryan lamented that "there just haven't been many books written by Vietnam vets about their experiences over there. I suspect this might have less to do with their inability to achieve the objectivity necessary to come to grips with experiences in that war than it does with the fact that the Norman Mailers and Thomas Heggers who were capable of writing the Vietnam era's equivalent to a N…
