Exploring the Impact of Social Connection Dimensions on Cognitive Impairment in Older Adults
This study aimed to identify unique social connection factors associated with cognitive impairment among older adults. Longitudinal data from the 2010 to 2020 Health and Retirement Study were used. Discrete-time survival models were applied to examine the impact of the social factors like loneliness, depression, positive and negative support from family and friends, volunteerism, attending sports or social clubs, charity work, and computer use on…
Social devaluation of African Americans and race‐related conspiracy theories
African Americans in the United States endorse conspiracy theories at greater rates than Whites. The extant literature explains this pattern in terms of a rational motivation to blame the social system for prejudice and discrimination. However, little research distinguishes between race‐relevant conspiracy theories against African Americans and general conspiracy theories. We propose that African Americans may seek out race‐relevant conspiracy th…

Celebrating group and place identity
The role of festivals in challenging the perception of local identity can be very important and, in the case of small festivals, is often the most important outcome. This paper discusses the Rollin' Down the River Festival , held in the autumn of 1997 in communities along the Kansas River in this context. While multiple research strategies were employed to evaluate the festival, questionnaires completed by festival committee organizers were the m…

Better Teaching, More Learning
Davis argues that postsecondary instructors have to improve their performance in the classroom not only by better understanding how teachers teach, but also how learners learn. He translates recent research on learning into a form useful for college teachers, and then integrates it with current thin
Alternatives to Prison
The prison crisis and alternatives to custody - a brief history the prison crisis in the 1980s alternatives v custody - the debates rage on alternatives as a trojan horse - the case re-examined community service as a process of tolerance probation day centres as an alternative to custody punishment in the community - policy and prospects
Physical activity on the job and cancer in Missouri
We conducted a series of case-control studies to investigate the risks of 16 cancer types in relation to occupational physical activity. These studies were based on Missouri Cancer Registry data for 17,147 White male cancer patients registered between 1984 and 1989. Colon cancer risk was increased for both the moderate (odds ratio (OR) = 1.1; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.0, 1.3) and low (OR = 1.2; 95% CI = 1.0, 1.5) activity levels. Similar e…
An analysis of occupational risks for brain cancer
We evaluated the risks of brain cancer in relation to employment history in a case-control study of 312 cases and 1,248 cancer controls. Subjects were identified through the Missouri Cancer Registry for the period 1984 through 1988. Job classification was based on data routinely abstracted from hospital records. Elevated risks were identified for certain white collar occupations: for men employed in engineering, the odds ratio (OR) = 2.1; 95% con…

Occupation, smoking, and alcohol in the epidemiology of bladder cancer
We conducted a case-control study to evaluate the effects of occupation, smoking, and alcohol consumption on bladder cancer risk. A total of 823 male cases and 2,469 age-matched controls were identified through the Missouri Cancer Registry. Relative risk estimates of 2.0 or greater were observed for janitors and cleaners, mechanics, miners, and printers. Current cigarette smoking was associated with a two-fold excess risk of bladder cancer, where…

Local government perceptions of water related issues in rural Australia
Water supply has long been regarded as a limiting resource in the further development of Australia. Active management has been necessary in both more densely settled areas and in areas of moderate settlement density but low rainfall such as the Murray‐Darling system. The recently released Water 2000 Report details current knowledge about the quality and distribution of these resources. Following on from this Report this article presents perceived…
Assessing the geotechnical component of road construction suitability across Australia
Given Australia's dispersed population distribution the construction and maintenance of transportation infrastructure is both essential and expensive. This paper presents a simple model for assessing geotechnical suitability for road construction across the continent, based upon the three major phases of road construction: earthworks, pavement construction and sealing. Data from the recently completed geotechnical landscape map of Australia have …

Social Class and Drug Use among Metropolitan Hinterland High School Students
Of a random sample of 386 students from 3 high schools representing differential social class status and drawn from the Oakland County, Michigan area, only 88 (23%) reported they had used any non-medically prescribed drugs. School A (upper middle-class suburban) reported significantly greater use of drugs than School B (lower middle-class suburban) and School C (lower middle-class semi-rural). School A also reported earlier use of drugs and poore…
