Negotiating Communties [Sic]: Sustainable Cultural Surf Tourism, Andrew Abel, Danny O'Brien

Danny O'Brien

Nonetheless, Andy recognised his homeland as a diverse country of over 600 islands, more than 800 unique dialects and traditional cultures, with abundant marine, forest, and wildlife resources.

Big Eyes, Katrina Bramstedt

Katrina A. Bramstedt

This is a review of the film Big Eyes. Adapted from a true story about artist Margaret Keane, the overarching theme of the movie is plagiarism. While most people think of written works such as books and articles being plagiarized, Big Eyes gives viewers insight into the world of stolen works of visual art, namely paintings. The victim finds moral courage through religion, while the thief (Keane’s husband,Walter) lives in denial until death. Anyone with an interest in art, law, or psychiatry will enjoy what Big Eyes has to offer.

Perceived Harm Of Secondhand Electronic Cigarette Vapors And Policy Support To Restrict Public Vaping: Results From A National Survey Of Us Adults, Susan Mello, Cabral Bigman, Ashley Sanders-Jackson, Andy Tan

Andy SL Tan

Introduction: There is ongoing debate over banning electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use (vaping) in public places. Many people perceive secondhand e-cigarette vapors (SHV) to be relatively harmless, which may affect their support for policies to restrict vaping in public places. Given that awareness of secondhand cigarette smoke risks predicts public support for clean air policies, we hypothesized that greater perceived harm of SHV to personal health would be associated with stronger support for vaping restrictions.

Methods: Data from 1449 US adults in a national online panel was collected from October to December 2013. Using multiple regressions, we predict a three-item scale …
