Employment Outcomes Of The Clarksdale Hope Vi Program, Ramona Stone
Public Health Sciences Faculty Publications
The HOPE VI initiative aimed to reshape neighborhoods in terms of their resident socioeconomic characteristics, business activity, levels of community collaboration, and economic growth. The goal of this research was to examine the relationship between education and employment while controlling for the type of housing received at relocation. This paper is part of a larger quasi-experimental research evaluation. Data sources included administrative records, baseline and follow-up surveys. The survey data was collected from the main adult in the family during face-to-face interviews two years apart. The questionnaire collected information about residents’ demographics, socioeconomic, health, housing, and satisfaction with the support …

Almenas Revisited: Archaeology At Cihuatán, El Salvador With Observations And Suggestions For Further Research On Roof Ornaments, Marshall Joseph Becker
Almenas Revisited: Archaeology At Cihuatán, El Salvador With Observations And Suggestions For Further Research On Roof Ornaments, Marshall Joseph Becker
Anthropology & Sociology Faculty Publications
A focused study of almenas, or decorative roof ornaments, at Cihuatán in El Salvador revealed that a wide range of structures were adorned with examples in ceramic. The best known examples, from Structure Q-1, provide indications of how these decorations were arranged, but left unanswered many questions about their use. Studies of roof ornaments at other sites confirm Pre-Classic origins in the Valley of Mexico and their use well into the 1500s, and their wide use in Yucatan and elsewhere. Suggestions regarding socio-political or ideological correlates may be premature, but help to structure programs for future research.

Surface Survey And Ground Testing At Sam's Site (36ch283): A Multicomponent Site In Chester County, Pennsylvania With A Nearby Shenks Ferry Occupation, Marshall Joseph Becker
Surface Survey And Ground Testing At Sam's Site (36ch283): A Multicomponent Site In Chester County, Pennsylvania With A Nearby Shenks Ferry Occupation, Marshall Joseph Becker
Anthropology & Sociology Faculty Publications
Surface collecting from 36Ch283, a multicomponent site in southcentral Chester County, Pennsylvania, suggests that activities at this location over a long period of time were confined to a very slight rise not larger than 15 by 25 m. Phase II testing of the area adjacent to this site revealed a possible Shenks Ferry habitation area located on the shallower grade above the knoll, at a short distance from the focus of surface collecting. The very different picture presented by the surface finds, however impoverished by intensive activities of amateur collectors, demonstrates the importance of surface collections in the interpretation of …
Arsenic And Old Pelts: An Update On Deadly Pesticides In Museum Collections, Alice B. Kehoe, Marshall Joseph Becker
Arsenic And Old Pelts: An Update On Deadly Pesticides In Museum Collections, Alice B. Kehoe, Marshall Joseph Becker
Anthropology & Sociology Faculty Publications
The use of toxic chemicals within museums is an issue only recently addressed by anthropologists and scholars in related fields. A case of arsenic poisoning in an anthropologist during the 1960s is reviewed for what it may tell us about a mysterious ailment that afflicted Clark Wissler 50 years earlier. While no conclusive diagnosis can be made, Wissler’s case reminds us that we have come a long way in protecting against one of the lesser known dangers confronting anthropologists. All museums use pesticides and preservatives of some form, though the health impact of these agents is not always known. This …
Book Review Of Frontiers Of Colonialism, Edited By Christine D. Beaule, Marshall Joseph Becker
Book Review Of Frontiers Of Colonialism, Edited By Christine D. Beaule, Marshall Joseph Becker
Anthropology & Sociology Faculty Publications
Determination of cultural frontiers has become an important goal of archaeological research. Beaule, an Andean archaeologist specializing in the study of households, has assembled the work of 15 scholars to address “frontiers” as they are variously conceptualized in archaeology. In this book, she recognizes not only the geopolitical frontiers that are basic to understanding culture and culture history, but also boundaries created by chronology, methodology, and theory. Crossing these many “frontiers” is the primary concern of this volume.

Mapping The Emotional Experience Of Travel To Understand Cycle-Transit User Behavior, Mahbubur Meenar, Bradley Flamm, Kevin Keenan
Mapping The Emotional Experience Of Travel To Understand Cycle-Transit User Behavior, Mahbubur Meenar, Bradley Flamm, Kevin Keenan
Geography & Planning Faculty Publications
People experience emotions during travel. Driving, riding a bicycle, taking transit, and walking all involve multiple mental processes, potentially leading to various ranges of emotions such as fear, anger, sorrow, joy, and anticipation. Understanding the link between emotions and transportation environments is critical to planning efforts aiming to bring about a more environmentally sustainable society. In this paper, we identified, geo-coded, analyzed, and visualized emotions experienced by cycle–transit users, or CTUs, who combine bicycling and public transit in a single trip. We addressed two research questions: (1) What types of emotions do CTUs experience, why, and where? (2) How can …

Counselor Education Faculty Publications
This study provides the development phases and initial psychometric evaluation of the Integrated Care Competency Scale (ICCS) with sample (n = 243). Specifically, quantitative methods with graduate counseling students were used in this study. The ICCS through a three-phase study process was honed to 65 items and broadly assesses graduate counseling students’ perceived competencies in integrated care. Phase 1 reports on item generation and issues related to content validity, Phase 2 describes the results of a pilot study and preliminary psychometric properties, and Phase 3 discusses the exploratory factor analysis, and further psychometric properties conducted to assess the usefulness and …

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of attachment-based family therapy (ABFT) compared with a family-enhanced nondirective supportive therapy (FE-NST) for decreasing adolescents’ suicide ideation and depressive symptoms. Method: A randomized controlled trial of 129 adolescents who are suicidal ages 12- to 18-years-old (49% were African American) were randomized to ABFT (n ¼ 66) or FE-NST (n ¼ 63) for 16 weeks of treatment. Assessments occurred at baseline and 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks. Trajectory of change and clinical recovery were calculated for suicidal ideation and depressive symptoms. Results: There was no significant between-group difference in the rate of change in …
