Jealous Men but Evil Women: The Double Standard in Cases of Domestic Homicide
No full textIn 1989, Sarah Thornton killed her abusive husband with a knife, after years of abuse and threats to her daughter. She was convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. Also in 1989, Kiranjit Ahluwalia soaked her husband’s bedclothes with petrol and set them alight. He died from burns 10 days later, and she was subsequently convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison.
In 1991, Joseph McGrail kicked his alcoholic common-law wife to death whilst she lay unconscious. He walked free from court, the judge telling him that “this lady would have tried the patience of a saint”. In 1992, Les Humes told a court that he “saw a red mist” after his wife admitted loving someone else. He fatally stabbed her whilst their teenage children struggled with him. He was convicted of manslaughter due to provocation and was imprisoned for 7 years.
Double standards in judicial processes are notorious. Chivalric justice is the case in which women are given lighter sentences for similar offences to men. This does not apply in the case of domestic homicide, where women are seen as evil and calculating when killing a spouse, men are seen as provoked beyond reason. Women who kill husbands do so with weapons that they need to acquire, men do it with their hands or weapons that are immediately available. So it is seems the defence of crime passionnel is reserved for men; women, it is implied, premeditate the murder of abusive husbands, and are justifiably punished. This paper explores the double standard in uxoricide vs. mariticide, and why it appears that killing a wife is justified and killing a husband is evi
MULTIMORBIDITY IN OLDER ADULTS: CAN DISEASE CLUSTER PREDICT DEPRESSION SEVERITY?
No full textThis is a pre-copyedited, author-produced version of an article accepted for publication in Innovation in Aging following peer review. The version of record Minahan, Jacquelyn. “MULTIMORBIDITY IN OLDER ADULTS: CAN DISEASE CLUSTER PREDICT DEPRESSION SEVERITY?.” Innovation in Aging vol. 3,Suppl 1 S393–S394. 8 Nov. 2019, doi:10.1093/geroni/igz038.1450 is available online at: https://doi.org/10.1093/geroni/igz038.1450.
This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.Multimorbidity, defined as the co-occurrence of two or more chronic conditions, is positively correlated with depression severity among older adults. However, few studies have compared depression outcomes by disease cluster. To address this gap, secondary data analyses were performed using data from the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (NSHAP), Wave 2. For the purpose of this study, disease clusters are composed of conditions that implicate similar body systems (e.g., musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular system). Participants reported an average of 2.69 (+/- 1.97) chronic conditions. Multimorbidity and depressive symptom severity, as measured by the Center for Epidemiological Studies – Depression, Iowa Form (CES-D) were positively associated (p<0.001). Individual disease clusters, age, self-identifying as female, and lower educational attainment were predictive of depressive symptom severity (p<0.001). Findings support the necessary inclusion of social determinants (health status, gender, education, age) in the conceptualization of health and health outcomes within an aging population

Forum: Jacquelyn Dillon and the Development and Promotion of Heterogeneous String Class Teaching Methods in the United States
No full text This historical study was primarily focused with the influence of Jacquelyn Dillon on string music education in the United States, and more specifically, her role in the use and promotion of heterogeneous string classroom teaching methods. Although this study briefly covers Dillon's childhood and education, the primary research questions centered around the regional and national aspects of her career, and the impact of these events on string music education in the United States. Having served as a public-school educator, clinician, conductor, author, professional cellist, music industry representative, and teacher trainer, Dillon dedicated nearly every aspect of her more than 50-year career to the advancement of string music education in the United States. One of her most important contributions, however, involves her use and promotion of heterogeneous string classroom teaching methods. </jats:p
Emotions, interaction and the injured sporting body.
No full textThis is a pre-print, author-produced version of an article accepted for publication in the International Review for the Sociology of Sport. Copyright © 2005 International Sociology of Sport Association and SAGE Publications. The definitive publisher-authenticated version (Vol.40 (2), 2005 pp. 221-240) is available online at: http://irs.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/40/2/221Based on a collaborative autoethnographic research project, this article explores the emotional dimension of the injured sporting body. It takes as its analytic focus the journey, rehabilitative, emotional and narrative, of two middle-aged, non-elite, middle/long-distance runners who experienced serious, long-term knee injuries. The study examines the interactional and narrative elements of the rehabilitative journey, focusing on dimensions of the emotion management, emotion work, and emotional intersubjectivity of the researcher/author and her training partner as they struggled to contend with the liminality of the injured athletic role, and to maintain positive identities in the face of serious threat to their running selves
Emerging Trends and Technologies in the Information Ecosystem, March 11, 2022
No full textPresentation: "An Introduction to Linked Open Data for Libraries & Archives" by Cliff Landis; "Mindfulness & Meditation in the Academic Library" by Jacquelyn DanielMarch’s Emerging Trends presentations provided tips on using technology for the creation and delivery of information. Cliff Landis introduced Linked Open Data. Most library users will interact with linked open data about the library before they ever interact with the library itself. A quick Google or Wikipedia search will show an information box filled with facts about the library, built using linked data. At its most basic, linked open data is a group of technologies and standards that enables: 1) writing factual statements in a machine-readable format, 2) linking those factual statements to one another, and 3) publishing those statements on the web with an open license for anyone to access. In this session, you’ll learn how the AUC Woodruff Library is already using linked open data, and ways you can independently contribute to open knowledge with linked open data. Jacquelyn Daniel discussed Mindfulness & Meditation. This presentation will allow us to ponder the value of physical space in the AUC Woodruff Library. Beyond understanding mindfulness, we will look at examples of academic libraries and other organizations that currently offer mediation and mindfulness options for staff and/or users. Additionally, we will explore the potential for incorporating these practices in our library for librarians and students. Please read this short essay by Julie Artman for a brief introduction to Mindfulness
Equality at Stake: Connecting the Privacy/Vulnerability Cycle to the Debate about Publicly Accessible Online Court Records
No full textNot peer reviewedA considerable amount has been written about the privacy implications of publishing
court and tribunal records online. In this article the authors examine the linkages between
privacy and vulnerability for members of marginalized communities and, drawing on
Calo’s “vicious cycle” of privacy and vulnerability, suggest that publicly accessible online
court records represent an equality issue as well. Drawing on social science research
and privacy theory, the authors demonstrate the potentially disproportionate effect of
online court records on members of marginalized communities. They then examine
Canadian case law, legislation and policy that impose restrictions on public disclosure
of information from court proceedings and disclosure of information within court
proceedings to highlight a limited pre-existing recognition of the privacy/vulnerability
cycle. In conclusion they suggest that removal of personal information from court records
made publicly available online would serve to protect both privacy and equality rights
