A mega-analytic study was designed to exploit the power of a large data set combining raw data from multiple studies (n D 1870) to examine the eVects of type of family violence, age, and gender on children’s behavior problems assessed using the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Our Wndings conWrmed that children who experienced multiple forms of family violence were at greater risk than children...

In 2003, psychology professor and sex researcher J. Michael Bailey published a book entitled The Man Who Would Be Queen: The Science of Gender-Bending and Transsexualism. The book's portrayal of male-to-female (MTF) transsexualism, based on a theory developed by sexologist Ray Blanchard, outraged some transgender activists. They believed the book to be typical of much of the biomedical literatu...

Many academics and policymakers regard entrepreneurship as a vital topic, often considering it a driving force behind job creation and economic growth. But thinking about entrepreneurship mostly takes place outside of mainstream economics. In his article “The Place of Entrepreneurship in ‘The Economics That Might Have Been,’” Sidney Winter (2016) aptly defines mainstream economics as the “unfli...

Suicidal behavior and alcohol use are major public health concerns in the United States; however the association between these behaviors has received relatively little empirical attention. The relative lack of research in this area may be due in part to the absence of theory explaining the alcohol use-suicidality link in the general adult population. The present article expands upon Conner, McC...

p38MAPK signaling pathway leads to the multi-organ injury caused by ischemia-reperfusion in animal models. Increased expression of p38MAPK is seen in ischemia-reperfusion models of kidney, liver, vascular and myocardial cells, and lung.[7] Yang et al. showed that in HS rats, MAPK’s signaling pathways indirectly regulate vascular activity.[8] A recent study reported that nuclear factor-kappa B i...

Dreger defends Bailey at length and assaults those like me who disagreed with his book and his behavior. Why is the Clarke Institute theory of gender crossing so bad? For one thing, it has trivial scientific support. Dreger claims throughout her long essay that, on the contrary, it has a lot. But look at her citations, which again and again are to the same handful of papers. For another, most s...

Many statistical and data mining techniques have been used to analyze the deluge of data generated by computerized, sensing devices. Behavioral psychologists traditionally have relied on "low-tech" methodologies for observing animal behavior in the wild and the laboratory. These methods are time intensive and laborious. When the observed animal is a colony animal, with many individuals to obser...

Several apparently independent events around the year 1952 formed the nucleus of what is now almost half a century of operations research in the health services as I have known it. In England, Norman Bailey published “Operational Research in Medicine” in the June 1952 issue of Operational Research Quarterly (Bailey 1952), and almost simultaneously in the Lancet, a paper on appointment systems i...

Health services in London will see demand for care rise by 3-5% during the Olympic Games, despite the new system that the Health Protection Agency (HPA) has put in place to monitor and respond to outbreaks of infectious diseases and environmental hazards. Brian McCloskey, the agency’s Olympics lead and director for London, said that the increase would be in the order of the surge that the NHS s...

Background: Nurses’ job satisfaction is a determining factor in providing high quality and safe care services and obtaining patient satisfaction. It seems that with the implementation of the Transformation Plan for the Iranian Health System and due to changes in various factors such as professional, individual, and organizational circumstances, nurses’ perceived organizational justi...
