Love Divine and Love Sublime: The Catholic Marriage Advisory Council, the Marriage Guidance Movement and the State
No full textOn the eve of the invasion of Poland, under a dedication to the pacifist priest and Dean of Canterbury Cathedral Dick Sheppard, Herbert Gray wrote Love: The One Solution (1938). This Presbyterian pastor, widely acknowledged as the father of the modern marriage guidance movement,1 sought to show the overarching importance of love for ‘our time and our world’ and concluded:We say with conviction that ‘love is the one solution’ for all the problems of married life and home life. But it must be real love, and not merely physical passion. And when it is real love, it still needs to be informed and intelligent love. It cannot do its perfect work without perfect knowledge.Therefore the people who are working for harmonious marriages are not without vital relation to the people who are working for world peace. We must have peace in our homes, if we are to have peace in the State and in the international world
‘Pope Norman’, Griffin’s Report and Roman Catholic Reactions to Homosexual Law Reform in England and Wales, 1954–1971
No full textAlana Harris (‘“Pope Norman”, Griffin’s Report and Roman Catholic Reactions to Homosexual Law Reform in England and Wales, 1954–1971’) explores progressive Catholic reactions to homosexual law reform from the time of the publication of the Wolfenden Report (1957) through to the passing of the Sexual Offences Act (1967). Alongside exploration of the separation of sin and crime advocated by a Catholic committee on homosexuality, the chapter evaluates the theologically informed, jurisprudential writings of the prominent Catholic politician and polemist, Norman St-John Stevas. Both case studies illustrate the growing capacity and confidence of an educated, middle-class Catholic elite to formulate new theological positions and interrogate traditional teachings on love and sexuality.</p

Women and History Now: A Conversation
No full textAs part of this special issue of History, we invited four scholars working across academia and public history roles in the UK and US to respond to a series of questions relating to their work as historians today: Alana Harris, Takkara Brunson, Amara Thornton and Helen Carr. In foregrounding diverse textual, material and digital modes of historical work being undertaken by women in our own moment, the following conversation is intended as an expansion of many of the themes raised across this issue. It looks to some of the difficulties faced by practitioners of history today and the innovative mechanisms being developed in order to meet those challenges.</p
The efficacy of a workplace wellness program to promote healthy lifestyles in hemodialysis center staff
Full text linkIncreasing habitual physical activity and reducing dietary sodium intake are two lifestyle habits that are targeted in both hemodialysis patients and the general population. Hemodialysis patients have greatly reduced physical activity levels compared to the general population, and are at a greater risk of muscle wasting. They also have excessive dietary sodium intake, which increases thirst and contributes to chronic volume overload, hypertension, and cardiovascular mortality. Similar to hemodialysis patients, the general population would also benefit from increasing physical activity levels and reducing dietary sodium intake. Directly targeting the hemodialysis patients with health promotion strategies often results in poor adherence and outcomes. Targeting the patient-provider interaction may provide a better platform for behavior translation to the hemodialysis patients. Therefore, the purpose of this dissertation was to improve the understanding of the impacts of a standardized workplace wellness program on the staff of an outpatient hemodialysis clinic and the patients that they serve. Previous work suggests that workplace wellness programs have a positive impact on increasing physical activity behavior and improving dietary patterns. However, these findings were not in the unique setting of an outpatient hemodialysis center and did not factor in the impact of a standardized program on the patients served by those who participate. In study 1, we demonstrated that those who participated in the Working on Wellness (WOW) program achieved significant improvements in body weight, body composition, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and reduced their perceived barriers to engaging in physical activity and in making healthy dietary choices. In study 2, we confirmed that hemodialysis patients want and need information about exercise and dietary habits from the staff of hemodialysis center and that WOW was a meaningful vehicle for clinic staff to increase their knowledge and to build skills in health promotion as it relates to physical activity and dietary sodium reduction. In study 3, we were able to validate and demonstrate the fidelity of the WOW program as a standardized program delivered by students who were; recruited, trained, and supported in the delivery of the program. In study 4, we conducted interviews with the WOW wellness coaches to evaluate the public health impact and sustainability of the program using the Reach Effectiveness Adoption Implementation Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework. Overall, the studies performed as part of this dissertation show that a standardized workplace wellness program, specifically the WOW program; is effective and reproducible with a high level of fidelity. Moreover, it seems that the WOW program has the potential to be transformative to hemodialysis center staff, patients and the trained interventionists.Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'.

Full text linkEl presente trabajo de investigación analiza la factibilidad de implementar un salón de belleza en el distrito de Carabayllo al norte de la ciudad de Lima. La primera razón para elegir esta ubicación es la necesidad de un establecimiento que ofrezca servicios de tratamiento de belleza femenina, donde las mujeres del distrito de más de 18 años, encuentren plena satisfacción de sus expectativas de estos servicios ofrecidos por ALANA – SALÓN DE BELLEZA. La segunda es que el autor es propietario de un local en el Gran Mercado Santa María de Carabayllo. Los servicios de ALANA – SALÓN DE BELLEZA estarán dirigidos a todas las mujeres residentes en Carabayllo que son aproximadamente 114 913, aunque nuestro segmento objetivo específico son aquellas que pertenecen a los estratos económicos más altos. La idea es ofrecer los servicios de belleza que buscan las mujeres, en un local de agradable ambientación, que sea punto de encuentro y, al mismo tiempo, colme sus expectativas. Estos objetivos serán logrados cuidando aspectos que interesan a las mujeres al elegir un salón de belleza que son, calidad de servicio y calidad de atención. Los competidores de ALANA – SALÓN DE BELLEZA son salones tradicionales que ofrecen servicios similares pero no la ambientación, ni calidad de atención y servicio que ofreceremos. Esto, así como el uso de herramientas tecnológicas que permitan un adecuado relacionamiento con cada cliente, serán elementos diferenciadores que harán que ALANA, sea el salón preferido de todas las mujeres. El análisis de mercado elaborado nos permite afirmar que en Carabayllo existe el potencial para el desarrollo de esta idea así como para su crecimiento futuro, aspectos que lo convierten en un proyecto altamente rentable y sostenible en el tiempo. El proyecto será iniciado con una parte de capital propio y otra de financiamiento bancario.The present research work analyses the feasibility of implementing a beauty salon in the district of Carabayllo, northern side of Lima city.

This, as well as the use of technological tools that will allow the establishment of a good client relationship, will be differential elements that will make ALANA, becoming the preferred beauty salon for them. Our market analysis allows us to conclude that Carabayllo has the potential to implement an idea like this one, and for its future growth, aspects that positions this project as a highly profitable and sustainable one over time. This project will be initiated with own investment and banking financing for the remaining balance
Fractional integration and cointegration in US financial time series data
Full text linkThis paper examines several US monthly financial time series data using fractional
integration and cointegration techniques. The univariate analysis based on fractional
integration aims to determine whether the series are I(1) (in which case markets might
be efficient) or alternatively I(d) with d < 1, which implies mean reversion. The
multivariate framework exploiting recent developments in fractional cointegration
allows to investigate in greater depth the relationships between financial series. We
show that there exist many (fractionally) cointegrated bivariate relationships among the variables examined.The second-named author gratefully acknowledges financial support from the Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología (ECO2008-03035 ECON Y FINANZAS, Spain) and from a PIUNA Project of the University of Navarra
Race, Post-Race
No full textThe talk examined the persistence of race in purportedly postracial times. Why do racial logics continue to underpin disparities in social, economic, cultural and political opportunities despite official commitments to the eradication of racism, not only within individual states but across them? Alana Lentin built on Barnor Hesse’s invocation of a ‘raceocracy’ which rules performatively and as a system for the management of human life. Zoning in on the global laboratory for the ‘production of horror’ that is the Australian system of mandatory detention for asylum seekers, she examined the co-dependency between the maintenance of the racialized border and professed commitments to a postracial future, a division which entrenches a divide between purified inside and the contaminants that lurk outside the contemporary racial state. Alana Lentin is Associate Professor of Cultural and Social Analysis at the University of Western Sydney and member of the Institute for Culture and Society. She works on the critical theorization of race, racism, antiracism and multiculturalism and is a long-time antiracist activist. She is the author of Racism and Anti-Racism in Europe (2004). Racism (2008) and the co-author of The Crises of Multiculturalism: Racism in a Neoliberal Age (2011, with Gavan Titley). She is currently working on the transformation of race in digital times.
