Earth Resources Technology Satellite-1 (ERTS-1) data and anthropology: Use of these data in carrying capacity estimates for sites in Upper Volta and Niger
No full textThe author has identified the following significant results. Repetitively derived multispectral band imagery from ERTS-1 is now available for many parts of the earth's land surface and represents major new data sources for anthropological work in habitat, land use, and settlement patterns. A completed first step test of ERTS-1 data is available in carrying capacity estimates for Mossi, Hausa, and Sonrai sites derived from: (1) field work; (2) aerial photography; and (3) ERTS-1. Data can test more than one carrying capacity formula

Suppressing Anger in Early Christianity [Elektronisk resurs] : Examples from the Pauline Tradition
No full textThis article builds on the work of classicist William V. Harris and critiques Harris for not distinguishing between the undisputed and deutero-Pauline letters. Harris analyzes the suppression of anger in terms of four increasing levels of restraint: (1) reining in angry actions and speech; (2) eliminating angry actions and speech; (3) reining in angry feelings; and (4) eliminating angry feelings. Harris argues persuasively that levels two, three and four were later developments in Greco-Roman antiquity. Utilizing Harris’s four levels of restraint, this article argues that whereas the apostle Paul’s exhortations correspond to Harris’s level one, the deutero-Pauline authors of Colossians and Ephesians implore the attainment of at least level two. It is also plausible, if not likely, that the author of First Timothy desires the elimination of all angry actions and speech (level two). Such development from the undisputed letters to two or three deutero-Pauline letters correlates with Harris’s conclusion that calls for greater and more complete suppression of anger began in the Roman period. The article also interacts with classic theories of the psychology of anger, asking whether the suppression of anger is a necessary component in the anthropology or theology of any of the NT Pauline literature.</p

Guardrails Needed for Social Science Research
No full textIn an article written for a legal audience, The Most Dangerous Branch of Science?: Reining in Rogue Research and Reckless Experimentation in Social Welfare, (Dwyer, 2022), I illustrated this phenomenon by describing what has happened in the child welfare world in recent decades. In the article, I recommend legal reforms to address the problems, including mandating a more robust IRB [institutional review board] review, broadening the concept of unethical research, treating policy experimentation as research subject to ethical rules, and authorizing lawsuits against those who purchase or conduct intentionally skewed studies that result in harmful policy innovations. I offer here a summary of the article’s main points...

Metformin after Bariatric Surgery – an Acid Problem
No full textAbstractMetformin is the oral drug of first choice in type 2 diabetes. Therefore a large number of patients undergoing bariatric surgery will be on Metformin treatment. However, use of Metformin has been associated with lactate acidosis. Weight loss following bariatric surgery is most pronounced during the first weeks after the operation and this creates a phase of negative energy balance with ketone body formation. To shed more light on this situation we measured ketone bodies in 90 patients 5 days–18 months after bariatric surgery. Ketone bodies were markedly elevated during the first 3–4 months. Metformin use should therefore be critically reconsidered after bariatric operations.</jats:p
