Chlordiazepoxide-induced reversal of an amphetamine-established aversion: Dipsogenic effects
No full textPublished in: Physiological Psychology, 1978, Vol. 6 (4), 488492.Chlordiazepoxide attenuated conditioned taste aversions if given prior to a one-bottle
aversion test but had no effect if given prior to a two-bottle choice between water and the
previously poisoned solution, suggesting that the attenuation resulted from chlordiazepoxide's
dipsogenic effect, independent of its reported disinhibitory effects on suppressed behavior.
These results were discussed in relation to general assessments of chlordiazepoxide's anti-
punishment effects on fluid-motivated baselines
Generation of political priority for global surgery: a qualitative policy analysis
No full textPublished in: Lancet Glob Health 2015, 3, e487–95.Background
Despite the high burden of surgical conditions, the provision of surgical services has been a low global health priority. We examined factors that have shaped priority for global surgical care.
Methods
We undertook semi-structured interviews by telephone with members of global surgical networks and ministries of health to explore the challenges and opportunities surgeons, anaesthesiologists, and other proponents face in increasing global priority for surgery. We did a literature review and collected information from reports from organisations involved in surgery. We used a policy framework consisting of four categories—actor power, ideas, political contexts, and characteristics of the issue itself—to analyse factors that have shaped global political priority for surgery. We did a thematic analysis on the collected information.
Findings
Several factors hinder the acquisition of attention and resources for global surgery. With respect to actor power, the global surgery community is fragmented, does not have unifying leadership, and is missing guiding institutions. Regarding ideas, community members disagree on how to address and publicly position the problem. With respect to political contexts, the community has made insufficient efforts to capitalise on political opportunities such as the Millennium Development Goals. Regarding issue characteristics, data on the burden of surgical diseases are limited and public misperceptions surrounding the cost and complexity of surgery are widespread. However, the community has several strengths that portend well for the acquisition of political support. These include the existence of networks deeply committed to the cause, the potential to link with global health priorities, and emerging research on the cost-effectiveness of some procedures.
Interpretation
To improve global priority for surgery, proponents will need to create an effective governance structure that facilitates achievement of collective goals, generate consensus on solutions, and find an effective public positioning of the issue that attracts political support
Saving, spending, and self-control: cognition versus consumer culture
No full textPublished in: Review of Radical Political Economics, Volume 39, No. 2, Spring 2007, 214-229.Recent economic literature puts forth “behavioral” perspectives on self-control as a means of under-
standing oddities of consumer behavior: spending too much, saving too little, borrowing too much on
costly credit cards. This article argues that the behavioral emphasis on cognition overlooks the extent to
which issues of self-control are framed, elaborated, and sustained as problematics of contemporary con-
sumer culture. As such, they are rooted as much in the social, cultural, and economic dynamics of cap-
italism as they are in the human mind
2020: 12th Annual Symposium
No full textAbout the Symposium: Bridging the Spectrum: A Symposium on Scholarship and Practice in Library and Information Science offers a knowledge-sharing forum and meeting place for practitioners, students, and faculty in Library and Information Sciences and Services. Presentations are selected to showcase innovative practices, projects, and research activities in a variety of library, archives, or information services activities. Because students, faculty, and practitioners all share their work, the Symposium encompasses many different aspects and points of view on Library and Information Professional work. The program's goal is to foster unexpected connections across the spectrum of the information professions.
Symposium Committee: Dr. Ingrid Hsieh-Yee, Dr. Sue Yeon Syn and Dr. Jane Zhang.
Date and Address: Friday, February 14, 2020. 8:30 a.m. - 2:45 p.m. Great Room, Pryzbyla Student Center, The Catholic University of America
