Comments on 'Oxhide Ingots, Recycling, and the Mediterranean Metals Trade'
Authors: Gale Noel H. , Stos-Gale Zofia A. 
Published: March 2015

This article adds another to the adversarial papers from the Bradford group with no new evidence or scientific data and a liberal sprinkling of misunderstandings and misquotations. Their article calls to mind the comment by Bass (1973) on another paper:
"The article must be read with care, as Muhly seems either not to have read all of the sources he cites, or not to have understood them". To take one example: they quote Knapp (1990) as a source for their statement that the consensus view shifted away from a Lavrion origin for the oxhide ingots found in the eastern Mediterranean towards a potential Cypriot source. Knapp's paper contains no statement that any oxhide ingot was made of copper from Lavrion and no statement that any author had ever made such a claim. To our knowledge there is nowhere to be found any such idea in the whole literature on oxhide ingots. A more serious example is their accusation that our latest published data set for Cypriot ores (Stos-Gale and Gale 1994) has presented five samples which are changed from our previous publications by only one ratio. Of these, two were not previously published at all, two have precisely the same ratios as in Stos-Gale, Gale and Zwicker (1986), whilst one was misprinted in Spooner and Gale (1982).
Budd et at. 1995 repeat yet again that the lead isotope compositions of deposits in Sierra de Cartagena, Oman and the Negev overlap those of Cyprus. To the contrary, examination of all the data (Gale 1991) showed that there is no such overlap. Again contra their implications, Gale and Stos-Gale (1988) did not state that the ingots from the Minoan palace of Hagia T riadha on Crete were made from Sardinian copper. In fact we firmly concluded that there was no evidence whatsoever for the import of Sardinian copper into Minoan Crete.
Post-Modernism and Witchcraft Histories
Authors: Waldron David 
Published: March 2015

The Neopagan movement relies extensively on representations of the past for historical, cultural and ideological legitimacy. Of particular importance in these histories is the reclaiming or re-creation of pre-Christian pagan societies, the witchhunting crazes of the early modern period, and the reinterpretation of the rise of modernity and industrialism. The means by which these histories are constructed and the changes in the processes by which
historical representations are formed are indicative of broader changes in the configuration of historical legitimacy in western culture.

A Critical Assessment: On the Imperial Cult in Religions of Rome
Authors: Fishwick Duncan 
Published: March 2015

In their 1998 publication of Religions of Rome, M. Beard, J. North and S. Price propound the view that the term “imperial cult” should be expanded to include a wide range of cultic activity related to the emperor, whether directly carried out in temples and other institutions of the Roman imperium or not. In particular, various forms of homage are to be included.
This critical assessment weighs their contention and finds it wanting in several key areas, notably what the best sources themselves have to say on the topic. The conclusion is that there is much to gain by retaining the original meaning assigned to this phrase.
Beyond Anthropocentrism in Barth’s Doctrine of Creation: Searching for a Theology of Nature
Authors: Gabriel Andrew K. 
Published: March 2015

The critique raised most often regarding Karl Barth’s doctrine of creation concerns its anthropocentric nature. However, Barth himself moves beyond the anthropocentrism for which he is accused. Barth is indeed anthropocentric
in that his creation/covenant thesis tends to present non-human creation as a means to an end, in his exposition of the Genesis creation narratives, in his christological focus, in his understanding of the covenant, and in his anthropocentric doctrine of election, which is foundational to his understanding of the covenant. Nevertheless, Barth does not completely neglect nature. There are insights within his doctrine of creation that might be incorporated into a theology of nature, particularly that all of creation participates in the covenant.
7. IVAN ILITCH E WITTGENSTEIN: UMA ANALOGIA PRAGMÁTICA
Authors: NUNES DA CONCEIÇÃO Celso Augusto 
Published: March 2015

<p>A leitura dualista de Ivan Ilitch a respeito do ser lógico e do ser sensível suscitou a analogia com os dois Wittgenstein: o primeiro e o segundo. A metodologia apresentada para isso parte da narração de Leon Tolstoi e a coteja com esses dois momentos da filosofia a partir dos aportes silogistas e contextuais. São muitas as inferências surgidas a cada confronto estabelecido, assim como argumentos baseados nos jogos da linguagem desse filósofo, que contrariou a sua teoria formalista a partir da aplicação das atividades linguísticas e não linguísticas fundamentadas nas relações contextuais. Essas duas ciências predominantes, Lógica e Pragmática, sustentam este artigo até o final, tanto na analogia como nas inferências provocadas no leitor.</p>
2. DE LA INTERPRETACIÓN JURÍDICA A LA HERMENEÚTICA CONSTITUCIONAL: EL CRITERIO DE LA INTERPRETACIÓN EVOLUTIVA DEL TRIBUNAL CONSTITUCIONAL ESPAÑOL
Authors: MARTÍN Nuria Belloso 
Published: March 2015

<p> </p>La interpretación jurídica en general y la hermenéutica constitucional en particular, están adquiriendo un renovado protagonismo en la medida en que la justicia que no se consigue a través de la aplicación de la norma, acaba buscándose en las sentencias judiciales. Ello hace que los ciudadanos vuelvan la mirada al Poder Judicial, del que esperan tanto la plasmación de un constitucionalismo sustantivo (y no, meramente formal) como mutaciones de las normas, para ir adecuándolas a la evolución social. En el ámbito del debate sobre la reforma constitucional y las cláusulas pétreas, la autora destaca que, con la intención de no tener que reformar la Constitución, el Tribunal Constitucional realiza una lectura “evolutiva” de la Constitución y realiza, con su sentencia, un ajuste “evolutivo” del texto constitucional. Ello puede interpretarse como una invasión de las funciones que corresponden al Poder Legislativo convirtiendo al Tribunal Constitucional en un legislador positivo. Debe extremarse el cuidado en la utilización de la denominada “interpretación evolutiva” porque, de lo contrario, se corre el peligro de acabar pervirtiendo el texto constitucional. A partir de las sentencias interpretativas del Tribunal Constitucional, la autora analiza el criterio de interpretación evolutiva que utiliza el Tribunal Constitucional en el Recurso de inconstitucionalidad presentado en relación a la ley que constitucionaliza el matrimonio a cualquier pareja que quiera casarse, con independencia de su orientación sexual
1. LA EVOLUCIÓN JURISPRUDENCIAL RECIENTE SOBRE LA EXIGIBILIDADE DE LOS DERECHOS ECONÓMICOS, SOCIALES Y CULTURALE EN EL SISTEMA INTERAMERICANO: ALGUNAS IMPLICACIONES DE LA SENTENCIA DE LA CORTE E EL ASUNTO ACEVEDO BUENDÍA
Authors: GARCIA Carlos Teijo 
Published: March 2015

<p>Los DESC han sido objeto tradicionalmente de un nivel de protección inferior a los derechos civiles y políticos, tanto en el plano interno constitucional como en el internacional. Los instrumentos jurídicos básicos del sistema interamericano, como el Convenio de San José de 1969, han participado de esta tendencia, al regular sólo los derechos de primera generación. Sin embargo, la adopción de normas específicas más recientes como el Protocolo de San Salvador ha permitido avanzar en la defensa de los derechos de contenido prestacional. El control de las obligaciones estatales en esta materia se ha intensificado particularmente en la última década a través del desarrollo de mecanismos específicos de seguimiento, así como mediante el avance de la jurisprudencia interamericana en la que se observa una orientación hacia el incremento de la tutela por vía indirecta de los DESC. A partir de la sentencia en el asunto Acevedo Buendía, sin embargo, se ha abierto la vía para el control judicial del artículo 26 del Convenio. En este artículo se analizan las distintas dimensiones del proceso de inserción de la tutela de los DESC en el sistema interamericano, en los ámbitos del desarrollo normativo, la creación de nuevos mecanismos de control y la evolución jurisprudencial. </p>
10. GARANTÍSMO (CONSTITUCIONALISMO GARANTÍSTA) Y DERECHOS SOCIALES.
Authors: LEIVA José Ignacio Núñez , PRAMBS Carolina Meza 
Published: March 2015

<p>La insularidad del Derecho es una fantasía. ¿Qué duda cabe? Los sistemas jurídicos revelan relaciones de poder y diferentes configuraciones del Contrato Social. En tal contexto, pocas discusiones resultan tan hipócritas e infructuosas como la que en algunos países se desarrolla en torno a la naturaleza jurídica de los denominados Derechos Sociales. </p>
7. EL ESTATUTO JURÍDICO DE LOS DERECHOS SOCIALES
Authors: SANTAGATI Claudio Jesus 
Published: March 2015

<p> El presente artículo analiza algunas contradicciones que se derivan de la clásica diferenciación entre derechos humanos, derechos fundamentales, derechos sociales, civiles, económicos, etc., y el tipo de obligaciones correlativas que se le imponen a los Estados con relación a los mecanismos de protección y garantía que éstos deben proveer.Se procura demostrar aquí la insuficiencia de este modelo clasificatorio y su aplicabilidad en el seno de la actual sociedad plural y multicultural. En efecto, el paradigma de una estructura societal homogénea basada en la igualdad ante la ley se ha visto superado por la emergencia de una sociedad que presenta una composición diversa y compleja y que, en el orden de ello, requiere formas diferenciadas y específicas de protección de derechos y modalidades más dinámicas de intervención del Estado a las que hemos llamado: obligaciones sistémicas. </p>

Published: March 2015

Background: Chronic periodontitis (CP) is an inflammatory condition affecting tooth‐supporting tissues and alveolar bone that surround the tooth, leading to formation of a deepened gingival sulcus that is highly prone to pathologic changes and, ultimately, bone resorption and tooth loss. In the literature, several pharmacologic agents have been administered via local delivery routes directly into diseased sites, affirming improvement in periodontal status. Therefore, this study aims to determine the clinical effectiveness of subgingivally delivered 1.2% rosuvastatin (RSV) gel incorporated into a methylcellulose vehicle for its controlled release into intrabony defect (IBD) sites as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) for treatment of patients with CP.Methods: Sixty‐five patients were categorized into two treatment groups: group 1, SRP plus 1.2 mg RSV; group 2, SRP plus placebo. Clinical parameters, including modified sulcus bleeding index (mSBI), probing depth (PD), and clinical attachment level (CAL), were recorded at baseline (before SRP) and at 1, 3, 4, and 6 months. Radiologic assessment of IBD fill was analyzed at baseline and after 6 months using software.Results: There was significant improvement in both study groups. At 6 months, there was a greater decrease in mSBI scores in group 1 (3.71 ± 0.24) compared to group 2 (1.48 ± 0.33). The mean decrease in PD from baseline to 6 months was 4.04 ± 0.34 and 1.31 ± 0.24 mm in groups 1 and 2, respectively. Mean CAL gain from baseline to 6 months was 4.2 ± 0.17 and 1.4 ± 0.15 mm in groups 1 and 2, respectively. In group 1, there was a greater decrease in mean IBD (2.23 ± 0.32 mm, 48.58%) compared to group 2 (0.46 ± 0.02 mm, 10.02%). All patients tolerated the drug without any adverse reaction.Conclusion: Rosuvastatin in situ gel (1.2%), when delivered locally into IBD/pocket sites, showed a greater reduction than placebo in PD and gingival index, along with increased gain in CAL.

Published: March 2015

Objectives. We assessed the association between assisted reproductive technology (ART) and diagnosed autistic disorder in a population-based sample of California births. Methods. We performed an observational cohort study using linked records from the California Birth Master Files for 1997 through 2007, the California Department of Developmental Services autism caseload for 1997 through 2011, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National ART Surveillance System for live births in 1997 through 2007. Participants were all 5 926 251 live births, including 48 865 ART-originated infants and 32 922 cases of autism diagnosed by the Department of Developmental Services. We compared births originated using ART with births originated without ART for incidence of autism. Results. In the full population, the incidence of diagnosed autism was twice as high for ART as non-ART births. The association was diminished by excluding mothers unlikely to use ART; adjustment for demographic and adverse prenatal and perinatal outcomes reduced the association substantially, although statistical significance persisted for mothers aged 20 to 34 years. Conclusions. The association between ART and autism is primarily explained by adverse prenatal and perinatal outcomes and multiple births.
“When You’re in a Crisis Like That, You Don’t Want People to Know”: Mortgage Strain, Stigma, and Mental Health
Authors: Keene Danya E. , Cowan Sarah K. , Baker Amy Castro 
Published: March 2015

Objectives. We analyzed experiences of stigmatization, concealment, and isolation among African American homeowners who were experiencing mortgage strain. Methods. We conducted semistructured interviews between March 2012 and May 2013 with 28 African American homeowners in a northeastern US city who were experiencing mortgage strain. We coded all of the transcripts and reviewed data for codes relating to stigma, sharing information, social support, social isolation, and the meaning of homeownership. Results. Our data showed that mortgage strain can be a concealable stigma. Participants internalized this stigma, expressing shame about their mortgage situation. Additionally, some participants anticipated that others would view them as less worthy given their mortgage trouble. In an effort to avoid stigmatization, many concealed their mortgage trouble, which often led to isolation. This stigmatization, concealment, and isolation seemed to contribute to participants’ depression, anxiety, and emotional distress. Conclusions. Stigma may exacerbate stress associated with mortgage strain and contribute to poor mental health, particularly among upwardly mobile African Americans who have overcome significant structural barriers to home ownership. Reducing stigma associated with mortgage strain may help to reduce the health consequences of this stressful life event.

Published: March 2015

Objectives. We investigated how provider vaccine communication behaviors influence parental vaccination acceptance and visit experience. Methods. In a cross-sectional observational study, we videotaped provider–parent vaccine discussions (n = 111). We coded visits for the format providers used for initiating the vaccine discussion (participatory vs presumptive), parental verbal resistance to vaccines after provider initiation (yes vs no), and provider pursuit of recommendations in the face of parental resistance (pursuit vs mitigated or no pursuit). Main outcomes were parental verbal acceptance of recommended vaccines at visit’s end (all vs ≥ 1 refusal) and parental visit experience (highly vs lower rated). Results. In multivariable models, participatory (vs presumptive) initiation formats were associated with decreased odds of accepting all vaccines at visit’s end (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 0.04; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.01, 0.15) and increased odds of a highly rated visit experience (AOR = 17.3; 95% CI = 1.5, 200.3). Conclusions. In the context of 2 general communication formats used by providers to initiate vaccine discussions, there appears to be an inverse relationship between parental acceptance of vaccines and visit experience. Further exploration of this inverse relationship in longitudinal studies is needed.
Loneliness as a Public Health Issue: The Impact of Loneliness on Health Care Utilization Among Older Adults
Authors: Gerst-Emerson Kerstin , Jayawardhana Jayani 
Published: March 2015

Objectives. We aimed to determine whether loneliness is associated with higher health care utilization among older adults in the United States. Methods. We used panel data from the Health and Retirement Study (2008 and 2012) to examine the long-term impact of loneliness on health care use. The sample was limited to community-dwelling persons in the United States aged 60 years and older. We used negative binomial regression models to determine the impact of loneliness on physician visits and hospitalizations. Results. Under 2 definitions of loneliness, we found that a sizable proportion of those aged 60 years and older in the United States reported loneliness. Regression results showed that chronic loneliness (those lonely both in 2008 and 4 years later) was significantly and positively associated with physician visits (β = 0.075, SE = 0.034). Loneliness was not significantly associated with hospitalizations. Conclusions. Loneliness is a significant public health concern among elders. In addition to easing a potential source of suffering, the identification and targeting of interventions for lonely elders may significantly decrease physician visits and health care costs.
Friends Matter: Protective and Harmful Aspects of Male Friendships Associated With Past-Year Sexual Aggression in a Community Sample of Young Men

Published: March 2015

Objectives. We extended past research on sexual violence etiology by examining the impact of perceived pressure to have sex by any means and the types of objectifying and egalitarian language that friends used when discussing women. Methods. We examined a community sample of young single men interested in dating women (n = 423) who completed audio computer-assisted self-interviews at baseline (spring/summer 2008) and 1 year later (spring/summer 2009). We used hierarchical logistic regression analyses that controlled for baseline sexual aggression. Results. Approximately one quarter of participants (n = 108) reported that they made a woman engage in some type of sexual activity during the past year when they knew she was unwilling or unable to consent. Past-year perpetrators perceived more pressure from their friends to have sex by any means, felt less comfortable with their friends making egalitarian statements about women, and used more objectifying statements when describing how their friends talked about women compared with nonperpetrators. Seventy-eight percent of men were correctly classified by these predictors. Conclusions. Men’s discussions with each other about women could foster an environment that encourages or discourages sexual violence. We discussed future research and prevention implications.
Medicaid Expansion Under the Affordable Care Act: Potential Changes in Receipt of Mental Health Treatment Among Low-Income Nonelderly Adults With Serious Mental Illness
Authors: Han Beth , Gfroerer Joe , Kuramoto S. Janet , Ali Mir , Woodward Albert M. , Teich Judith 
Published: March 2015

Objectives. We designed this study to examine differences in receipt of mental health treatment between low-income uninsured nonelderly adults with serious mental illness (SMI) who were eligible for Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and their existing Medicaid counterparts. Assessing these differences might estimate the impact of the Medicaid expansion efforts under the ACA on receipt of mental health treatment among uninsured nonelderly adults with SMI. Methods. We examined data from 2000 persons aged 18 to 64 years who participated in the 2008 to 2013 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, had income below 138% of the federal poverty level, met SMI criteria, and either were uninsured (n = 1000) or had Medicaid-only coverage (n = 1000). We defined SMI according to the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration Reorganization Act. We used descriptive analyses and logistic regression modeling. Results. In the 28 states currently expanding Medicaid, the model-adjusted prevalence (MAP) of receiving mental health treatment among Medicaid-only enrollees with SMI (MAP = 71.3%; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 65.74%, 76.29%) was 30.1% greater than their uninsured counterparts (MAP = 54.8%; 95% CI = 48.16%, 61.33%). In the United States, the MAP of receiving mental health treatment among Medicaid-only enrollees with SMI (MAP = 70.4%; 95% CI = 65.67%, 74.70%) was 35.9% higher than their uninsured counterparts (MAP = 51.8%; 95% CI = 46.98%, 56.65%). Conclusions. Estimated increases in receipt of mental health treatment because of enrolling in Medicaid among low-income uninsured adults with SMI might help inform planning and implementation efforts for the Medicaid expansion under the ACA.
