Public Perceptions of Genetically Modified Foods: A National Study of American Knowledge and Opinion
No full textThis report presents the results from the second phase of a longitudinal study of Americans’ knowledge and feelings about agricultural biotechnology and how those perceptions and attitudes have changed over time. Two independent national probability samples of 1,200 adults were interviewed by phone in the spring of 2001 and 2003. While this report focuses on the findings from 2003, longitudinal comparisons are presented where appropriate. The report begins with an investigation of Americans’ awareness of the presence of genetically modified (GM) ingredients in the foods they encounter everyday. Next, the report describes Americans’ actual and perceived knowledge of science, biotechnology and food production. It then examines American opinions about GM foods in general, along with their opinions on a variety of existing and potential GM food products with direct or indirect consumer benefits. The report discusses the relationship between opinions of GM food and a variety of factors, including demographics, knowledge of biotechnology, purchasing behaviors and styles of food selection. Finally, it describes Americans’ thoughts on GM food labeling.Suggested Citation:

A review of the scholarship on Ebenezer Cook and a critical assessment of his works
No full textInterest in Ebenezer Cook has increased steadily, if slowly, since Moses Coit Tyler wrote an enthusiastic critique of The Sot-weed Factor in A History of American Literature, 1607-1765 in 1878. Much of that interest, however, has been little more than curiosity about a minor poet who remains an elusive literary figure of early eighteenth-century Maryland; even today, in spite of several recent assessments of his major poem s, relatively little critical attention has been given to the works of this often robust and witty author who wrote what are apparently the first American Hudibrastic poem, the first American mock-heroic, and the first belletristic work composed and published in the colonies south of Pennsylvania. Neither has there ever been a complete edition of the Cook canon, which consists, as far as we know, of three major poems--The Sotweed Factor (1708, revised extensively in 1731), Sotweed Redivivus (1730), and The History of Colonel Nathaniel Bacon's Rebellion in Virginia (1731)--and four elegies addressed to prominent Maryland citizens of Cook's day. This dissertation provides a comprehensive study of Ebenezer Cook that include critical analyses of all his known poems and transcriptions of the current canon based on first editions or earliest-known copies and manuscripts as w ell as historical background and commentary (much of Cook's poetry contains observations on the political, social, and economic issues of contemporary Maryland), bibliographical data, and a survey of Cook scholarship

Where Participatory Approaches Meet Pragmatism in Funded (Health) Research: The Challenge of Finding Meaningful Spaces
No full textThe term participatory research is now widely used as a way of categorising research that has moved beyond researching "on" to researching "with" participants. This paper draws attention to some confusions that lie behind such categorisation and the potential impact of those confusions on qualitative participatory research in practice. It illuminates some of the negative effects of "fitting in" to spaces devised by other types of research and highlights the importance of forging spaces for presenting participatory research designs that suit a discursive approach and that allow the quality and impact of such research to be recognised. The main contention is that the adoption of a variety of approaches and purposes is part of the strength of participatory research but that to date the paradigm has not been sufficiently articulated. Clarifying the unifying features of the participatory paradigm and shaping appropriate ways for critique could support the embedding of participatory research into research environments, funding schemes and administration in a way that better reflects the nature and purpose of authentic involvement

No full textDjeboa bomiensis (Cook, 1966) (Figs. 10 A–F) Mideopsis (Djeboa) bomiensis Cook 1966: 239. Material examined: Type series: FMC, Liberia; holotype female, Suehn road, approximately four miles north of Bomi Hills Road, 30.xi. 1957 Cook (Coll. 84); paratypes: same site and date as holotype 3 / 3 /0; Coll. 36, 1/0/0; Coll. 41, 1/0/0; Coll. 76, 0/ 1 /0; Coll. 83, 3/ 1 /0; Coll. 88, 1/ 4 /0; Coll. 89, 0/ 2 /0; Coll. 91, 0/ 1 /0; Coll. 93,3/ 2 /0; Coll. 94, 2/ 3 /0; Coll. 95, 1/ 2 /0; Coll. 96, 1/ 2 /0 (see Cook 1966 for more details). General features: Dorsal shield oval (L/W ratio 1.1–1.2), with medial depression (Fig. 10 A); muscle scars with slightly pronounced thickenings, located anterior and posterior to the postocularia; dorsal shield blue in colour except periphery; gnathosomal bay of a modified Y-shape, noticeably narrowing in posterior half; tips of Cx-I ending posterior to frontal margin; medial margin of Cx-IV reduced to a median angle; Cx-III and -IV with a few longitudinal striae (two pairs on Cx-IV). Palp (Fig. 10 D): P- 1 without a dorsal seta; P- 2 with straight ventral and convexly bowed dorsal margin; P- 3 maximum height proximally, ventral margin concave; P- 4 equally narrowing from the base to tip. Legs: I-L (Fig. 10 E) with I-L- 6 L/H ratio 2.6; IV-L: Fig. 10 F. Discussion: In shape and setation of palp (with P- 1 lacking seta), Djeboa bomiensis is similar to D. rotundata K. Viets, 1914. The latter differs most noticeably in the rounded shape of the idiosoma, and also in a more slender P- 3 and P- 4 (Cook 1966). A re-examination of type material shows that the statement of Cook (1966) that swimming hairs are absent in D. bomiensis (followed later in the key of K.O.Viets 1970) is erroneous. Distribution: Liberia, widely distributed and numerous.Published as part of Pešić, Vladimir, Cook, David, Gerecke, Reinhard & Smit, Harry, 2013, The water mite family Mideopsidae (Acari: Hydrachnidia): a contribution to the diversity in the Afrotropical region and taxonomic changes above species level, pp. 1-75 in Zootaxa 3720 (1) on page 22, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3720.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/28502

General features: Dorsal shield almost perfectly circular (L/W ratio 1.0), with extended medial depression occupying most of the shield (Fig. 25 A); muscle scars located anterior and posterior to the postocularia, with moderately pronounced thickenings; anterior and central portion of dorsal shield blue; edges of ventral shield with large serrations; gnathosomal bay Y-shaped, noticeably narrowing in posterior half; tips of Cx-I ending posterior to frontal margin; medial margin of Cx-IV reduced to a little more than median angle; Cx-III and -IV with a series of longitudinal striae (three pairs of on Cx-IV). Palp as shown in Fig. 25 D: P- 1 with a dorsal seta; P- 2 with straight ventral and convexly bowed dorsal margin; P- 3 proximally thicker than distally, ventral margin with an proximal inflation, distally slightly concave; P- 4 slender, equally narrowing from the base to tip. Legs: I-L (Fig. 25 E) with I- L- 6 dL/H ratio 2.6–2.7, ventral margin distally convexly protruding; IV-L: Fig. 25 F. Remarks: In the round idiosoma shape, D. liberiensis resembles D. multidentata (K. Viets, 1911) which differs in possessing a patch violet in colour on the anterior dorsum and larger dimensions (Cook 1966). Distribution: Obviously the most frequently collected and most widely distributed species in Liberia.Published as part of Pešić, Vladimir, Cook, David, Gerecke, Reinhard & Smit, Harry, 2013, The water mite family Mideopsidae (Acari: Hydrachnidia): a contribution to the diversity in the Afrotropical region and taxonomic changes above species level, pp. 1-75 in Zootaxa 3720 (1) on page 45, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3720.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/28502
