From triple quandary to talent quest: The past, present, and future of A. Wade Boykin's contributions to psychology.

A. Wade Boykin's scholarship has provided key insights into the psychological realities of racially minoritized people and catalyzed revolutionary changes in psychology and education. Combining insights from personal and research experiences, Boykin authored the foundational triple quandary (TQ), a framework describing how Black Americans must navigate the often conflicting values and priorities of dominant mainstream society, the heritage culture of Black communities, and dynamics associated with being racially minoritized. TQ describes the unique developmental challenges faced by Black children, for whom misalignment between home cultural socialization and U.S. schooling often leads to pathologizing mischaracterizations of their attitudes and behaviors, resulting in chronic academic opportunity gaps. Boykin used his training as an experimental psychologist to empirically test the validity and explanatory utility of the TQ framework and to determine whether Black cultural values could be leveraged to improve student learning. Focusing on cultural values such as expressive movement, verve, and communalism, studies with his collaborators consistently supported Boykin's framework and predictions for improving Black student achievement-related outcomes. Beginning in the early 2000s, Boykin and his colleagues began to scale the lessons of decades of empirical work into the talent quest model for school reform. The TQ and talent quest continue to evolve in their application, as scholars and practitioners have found them relevant to a diverse range of minoritized populations in American society and beyond. Boykin's work continues to bear on the scholarship, career outcomes, and day-to-day lives of many scholars, administrators, practitioners and students across disciplines and institutions.

Serviços farmacêuticos na atenção primária à saúde: Estudo etnográfico em serviços de saúde no município de São Paulo / Pharmaceutical Services in Primary Health Care: Ethnographic Study in Health Services in the City of São Paulo

Os serviços farmacêuticos na Atenção Primária a Saúde (APS) é um tema emergente ao se tratar do contexto de desenvolvimento das políticas farmacêuticas no Brasil, em especial a de Assistência Farmacêutica. Na área, inúmeros estudos têm sido publicados e diversos grupos e instituições debatem o assunto, porém, sem um único consenso ou modelo propositivo. A APS ou Atenção Básica é o modelo de atenção prioritário adotado no Brasil, no SUS e tem como características a territorialização, o trabalho em equipe multiprofissional, o vínculo e o acolhimento. É um espaço rico de desenvolvimento de serviços farmacêuticos e de viabilidade das estratégias de garantia do direito à saúde, como o acesso a medicamentos essenciais e cuidado no seu uso. Por isso a farmácia na APS é um local de trabalho do farmacêutico, com boa empregabilidade e possibilidade de desenvolvimento de uma atuação não tão ligada a histórica formação do farmacêutico tecnicista. Além disso, é preciso desenvolver reflexões sobre serviços farmacêuticos utilizando dados da realidade, possibilitando que estudos como este possam contribuir no desenvolvimento de serviços na APS a partir das necessidades em saúde, considerando as determinações sociais do processo saúde-doença. Sendo assim, o objetivo desta tese foi o de caracterizar os serviços farmacêuticos na Atenção Primária à Saúde, no município de São Paulo, e como se expressam em diferentes modelos na materialidade da APS. Utilizou-se a pesquisa qualitativa, especificamente a Observação Participante, com abordagem etnográfica como fonte para o aprofundamento do conhecimento, pois permite a compreensão do homem em sua sociabilidade. O estudo foi desenvolvido no município de São Paulo. A primeira parte corresponde a um estudo exploratório, composto por um grupo focal com 20 farmacêuticos e um survey online aplicado a outros 120 farmacêuticos. Todos atuam na Secretaria Municipal de Saúde. Na segunda parte, o estudo foi desenvolvido em 3 Unidades Básicas de Saúde, com aproximadamente 170 horas de observação, registradas em cadernos de campo. Os registros possibilitaram a análise e a formação de categorias conceituais. Por fim, a APS permite uma construção e visão ampliadas do escopo dos serviços farmacêuticos, ao analisá-los a partir da percepção de quem os vive, uma vez que há o entendimento de que os serviços não são fragmentados e que o farmacêutico os executa em um campo complexo, ampliado e dinâmico como a APS. O uso da Observação Participante em estudos na área da saúde, especialmente na Farmácia, possibilita reflexões sobre o fenômeno, que não são isoladas, nem mesmo descontextualizadas da realidade em saúde. Identifica-se a necessidade de estudos qualitativos para a descrição interpretativa dos fenômenos na saúde apoiada nas ciências humanas, (re)fazendo movimentos de síntese críticos e reflexivos. Procedentes da análise, pode-se na observação participante compreender três modelos diferentes de atuação do farmacêutico, que geram concepções de serviços farmacêuticos distintas e que se relacionam aos modelos de APS, sendo alguns mais universais e integrais versus modelos de cobertura universal, focalizados e seletivos. Os serviços farmacêuticos na APS têm um potencial de compreender que as pessoas não são iguais por completo, e que é preciso reconhecer as necessidades e, por conseguinte, sociais. As evidências obtidas foram demonstradas em categorias conceituais relacionadas às diferentes perspectivas dos serviços farmacêuticos na APS, possibilitando entender que o farmacêutico é a referência em medicamentos nas UBS e tem-se feito essencial para a população, especialmente no campo da APS. Tendo nessa perspectiva uma nova prática, aquela que é real, construída pela prática da APS, e não em métodos teóricos de atendimento clínico. Os serviços farmacêuticos que se estabelecem na APS devem contribuir com as condições de vida, permeados pelo debate das determinações sociais de saúde, sendo necessário refletir sobre quais necessidades, àquelas vigentes e de acordo com o que o mercado deseja ou àquelas que correspondem as necessidades reais

Pharmaceutical services in Primary Health Care (PHC) is an emerging concept in the context of developing pharmaceutical policies in Brazil, especially Pharmaceutical Assistance. Numerous studies in this field have been published and several groups and institutions debate the subject; however, there is no consensus on the proposed model. PHC or Basic Care is the preferred model adopted in Brazil, in the Single Health System (SHS), and is characterized by territorialization, multiprofessional teamwork, relationships, and user embracement. It is a rich space for the development of pharmaceutical services and viable strategies for ensuring the right to health, including access to essential medicines and care in their use. That is why the pharmacy in PHC is a pharmacist's place of work, with good employability, and the possibility of developing an activity that goes beyond the traditional scope f a technical pharmacist. In addition, it is necessary to examine pharmaceutical services using actual data, enabling studies such as this to contribute to the development of PHC services based on health needs, considering the social determinants of the health-disease process. Thus, the objective of this thesis was to characterize the pharmaceutical services in PHC, in the city of São Paulo, and examine how they are expressed in different models in the materiality of PHC. We used qualitative research, specifically participant observation, with an ethnographic approach, to obtain in-depth knowledge, since it allows the understanding of man in his social context. The study was conducted in the city of São Paulo. The first part consists of an exploratory study, on a focus group with 20 pharmacists, and an online survey of another 120 pharmacists. They all work at the Municipal Health Office. The second part of the study was conducted in three Basic Health Units (BHU), with approximately 170 hours of observation recorded in field notebooks. The records made it possible to analyze and form conceptual categories. Finally, PHC allows a broader construct and vision of the scope of pharmaceutical services, by analyzing them from the perception of those who experience them, since there is an understanding that the services are not fragmented and that the pharmacist performs them in a complex, expanded, and dynamic field, like PHC. The use of participant observation in health field studies, especially in Pharmacy, allows reflections on the phenomenon, which are not isolated, nor decontextualized from the reality in health. The need for qualitative studies is felt for the interpretative description of health phenomena supported by the human sciences, (re)making critical and reflective synthesis movements., By using participant observation in the analysis, it is possible to understand three different models of the pharmacist's performance, which lead to distinct conceptions of pharmaceutical services and are related to PHC models, some of them more universal and integral compared to universal coverage models that are focused and selective. The pharmaceutical services in PHC have the potential to understand that people are not completely the same, and that it is necessary to recognize the needs, and therefore the social conditions. The evidence obtained has been demonstrated in conceptual categories related to the different perspectives of pharmaceutical services in PHC, making it possible to understand that the pharmacist is the authority in medicines at the Health Care Unit and has become essential for the population, especially in the field of PHC. This perspective comprises a new approach, one that is realistic and practical, built by the practice of PHC, and not based on theoretical methods of clinical care. The pharmaceutical services established in PHC must contribute to living conditions, accompanied by the debate on social health determinations, and it is necessary to reflect on which are the needs that are in force and according to what the market wants or those that correspond to real necessities

Long-distance stone transport and pigment use in the earliest Middle Stone Age.

Previous research suggests that the complex symbolic, technological, and socioeconomic behaviors that typify Homo sapiens had roots in the middle Pleistocene <200,000 years ago, but data bearing on human behavioral origins are limited. We present a series of excavated Middle Stone Age sites from the Olorgesailie basin, southern Kenya, dating from ≥295,000 to ~320,000 years ago by argon-40/argon-39 and uranium-series methods. Hominins at these sites made prepared cores and points, exploited iron-rich rocks to obtain red pigment, and procured stone tool materials from ≥25- to 50-kilometer distances. Associated fauna suggests a broad resource strategy that included large and small prey. These practices imply notable changes in how individuals and groups related to the landscape and to one another and provide documentation relevant to human social and cognitive evolution.

Ancient genomes show social and reproductive behavior of early Upper Paleolithic foragers.

Present-day hunter-gatherers (HGs) live in multilevel social groups essential to sustain a population structure characterized by limited levels of within-band relatedness and inbreeding. When these wider social networks evolved among HGs is unknown. To investigate whether the contemporary HG strategy was already present in the Upper Paleolithic, we used complete genome sequences from Sunghir, a site dated to ~34,000 years before the present, containing multiple anatomically modern human individuals. We show that individuals at Sunghir derive from a population of small effective size, with limited kinship and levels of inbreeding similar to HG populations. Our findings suggest that Upper Paleolithic social organization was similar to that of living HGs, with limited relatedness within residential groups embedded in a larger mating network.

In fatal pursuit of immortal fame: Peer competition and early mortality of music composers.

We investigate the impact of peer competition on longevity using a unique historical data set of 144 prominent music composers born in the 19th century. We approximate for peer competition measuring (a) the number or (b) the share of composers located in the same area and time, (c) the time spent in one of the main cities for classical music, and (d) the quality of fellow composers. These measures suggest that composers' longevity is reduced, if they located in agglomerations with a larger group of peers or of a higher quality. The point estimates imply that, all else equal, a one percent increase in the number of composers reduces composer longevity by ∼ 7.2 weeks. Our analysis showed that the utilized concentration measures are stronger than the personal factors in determining longevity, indicating that individuals' backgrounds have minimal impact on mitigating the effect of experienced peer pressure. The negative externality of peer competition is experienced in all cities, fairly independent of their population size. Our results are reaffirmed using an instrumental variable approach and are consistent throughout a range of robustness tests. In addition to the widely known economic benefits associated with competition, these findings suggest that significant negative welfare externalities exist as well.

Changes in dietary practices and social organization during the pivotal late iron age period in Norway (AD 550-1030): isotope analyses of Merovingian and Viking Age human remains.

Human remains representing 33 individuals buried along the coast in northern Norway were analyzed for diet composition using collagen stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis. Where possible, both teeth and bone were included to investigate whether there were dietary changes from childhood to adulthood. A general shift was documented from the Merovingian Age 550-800 AD to the Viking Age AD 800-1050 (VA), with a heavier reliance on marine diet in the VA. Dietary life history data show that 15 individuals changed their diets through life with 11 of these having consumed more marine foods in the later years of life. In combination with (87) Sr/(86) Sr data, it is argued that at least six individuals possibly originated from inland areas and then moved to the coastal region where they were eventually interred. The trend is considered in relation to the increasing expansion of the marine fishing industry at this time, and it is suggested that results from isotope analyses reflect the expanding production and export of stockfish in this region.

Determinants of marital behaviour in five Apennine communities of Central Italy inferred by surname analysis, repeated pairs and kinship estimates.

The work makes use of surname analysis, repeated pairs and kinship estimates in 11,009 marriage records celebrated in five communities of the Italian Central Apennine (Celano, Lecce dei Marsi, Ortucchio, Roio, Villavallelonga) from 1802 to 1965 with the objective to deepen knowledge of the relative influence of several determinants on their marital behaviour. These towns are part of the same geographic and economic environment: the slopes of the ancient Fucino Lake. This work further elaborates the results from previous studies on the bio-demographic model of the region. The data were analyzed according to three periods of approximately 50 years. Results show the highest inbreeding coefficients in the pastoral towns of Roio and Villavallelonga. Repeated pair analysis highlights a certain degree of population subdivision which declined in time in Celano, Lecce dei Marsi and Ortucchio. The highest and increasing values of RP-RPr in time in Roio suggest a general reduction in genetic heterogeneity. This is possibly due to the celebration of marriages among families selected on the economic basis of pastoralism, as this town historically has had a leading tradition of sheep-farming. Villavallelonga, excluding isonymous marriages, shows an increase in repeated pair unions in time, thus revealing a substructure with marriages among preferred lineages. This is in line with previous results on consanguineous marriages which indicated the tendency of avoiding unions between close relatives in this small geographic isolate. This study demonstrates the influence of geographical (altitude) and social factors (pastoralism) on the marital structures of the investigated populations.

Sex in an Imperial war zone: transnational encounters in Second World War India.

This article suggests how the waging of war in an imperial setting may have reshaped military and civilian relations in India from 1939-45. The number of troops stationed in India had repercussions for society and local politics. The article investigates widespread prostitution as one aspect of the gendered wartime economy. Indian prostitution was closely linked to militarization and to the effects of the 1943 Bengal famine. The article also argues this was symptomatic of a more far-reaching renegotiation of the interactions between men and women in the Indian Empire of the 1940s. Other Indian, European, North American and Anglo-Indian women worked as nurses, with the Red Cross and in a variety of roles towards the war effort. Women were subject to new social and sexual demands due to the increased numbers of troops stationed in India in the 1940s.

The Latin American cohabitation boom, 1970­2007.

The article describes the rise of unmarried cohabitation in Latin American countries during the last 30 years of the twentieth century, both at the national and regional levels. It documents that this major increase occurred in regions with and without traditional forms of cohabitation alike. In addition, the striking degree of catching up of cohabitation among the better-educated population segments is illustrated. The connections between these trends and economic (periods of high inflation) and cultural (reduction of stigmas in ethical domains) factors are discussed. The conclusion is that the periods of inflation and hyperinflation may have been general catalysts, but no clear indications of correlation were found between such economic factors and the rise in cohabitation. The shift toward more tolerance for hitherto stigmatized forms of conduct (e.g., homosexuality, euthanasia, abortion, singleparent household) is in line with the rise of cohabitation in regions of Argentina, Chile, and Brazil where cohabitation used to be uncommon. Further rises in cohabitation during the first decade of the twenty-first century are expected in a number of countries (e.g., mexico) despite conditions of much lower inflation.

Quantitative evidence of the continuing significance of race: tableside racism in full-service restaurants.

Despite popular claims that racism and discrimination are no longer salient issues in contemporary society, members of racially underrepresented groups continue to experience disparate treatment in everyday public interactions. The context of full-service restaurants is one such public setting wherein African Americans, in particular, encounter racial prejudices and discriminatory treatment. To further understand the pervasiveness of such anti-Black attitudes and actions within the restaurant context, this article analyzes primary survey data derived from a community sample of servers (N = 200). Participants were asked a series of questions ascertaining information about the racial climate of their workplaces. Findings reveal substantial server negativity toward African Americans' tipping and dining behaviors. Racialized discourse and discriminatory behaviors are also shown to be quite common in the restaurant context. The anti-Black attitudes and actions that the authors document in this research are illustrative of the continuing significance of race in contemporary society, and the authors encourage further research on this relatively neglected area of inquiry.

Aboriginal women and Asian men: a maritime history of color in white Australia.

In 1901, Broome­a port town on the northwest edge of the Australian continent­was one of the principal and most lucrative industrial pearling centers in the world and entirely dependent on Asian indentured labor. Relations between Asian crews and local Aboriginal people were strong, at a time when the project of White Australia was being pursued with vigorous, often fanatical dedication across the newly federated continent. It was the policing of Aboriginal women, specifically their relations with Asian men, that became the focus of efforts by authorities and missionaries to uphold and defend their commitment to the White Australia policy. This article examines the historical experience of Aboriginal women in the pearling industry of northwest Australia and the story of Asian-Aboriginal cohabitation in the face of oppressive laws and regulations. It then explores the meaning of "color" in contemporary Broome for the descendants of this mixed heritage today.

Tourism and the Hispanicization of race in Jim Crow Miami, 1945-1965.

This article examines how Miami's significant presence of Anglo Caribbean blacks and Spanish-speaking tourists critically influenced the evolution of race relations before and after the watershed 1959 Cuban Revolution. The convergence of people from the American South and North, the Caribbean, and Latin America created a border culture in a city where the influx of Bahamian blacks and Spanish-speakers, especially tourists, had begun to alter the racial landscape. To be sure, Miami had many parallels with other parts of the South in regard to how blackness was understood and enforced by whites during the first half of the twentieth century. However, I argue that the city's post-WWII meteoric tourist growth, along with its emergence as a burgeoning Pan-American metropolis, complicated the traditional southern black-white dichotomy. The purchasing power of Spanish-speaking visitors during the postwar era transformed a tourist economy that had traditionally catered to primarily wealthy white transplanted Northerners. This significant change to the city's tourist industry significantly influenced white civic leaders' decision to occasionally modify Jim Crow practices for Latin American vacationers. In effect, Miami's early Latinization had a profound impact on the established racial order as speaking Spanish became a form of currency that benefited Spanish-speaking tourists­even those of African descent. Paradoxically, this ostensibly peculiar racial climate aided the local struggle by highlighting the idiosyncrasies of Jim Crow while perpetuating the second-class status of native-born blacks.

Young, black, and connected: Facebook usage among African American college students.

This article examines the extent and intensity of Facebook usage among African American college students and investigates their reasons for using Facebook. As expected, 98% of students in the survey had a Facebook account, and a large number of Facebook "friends." Younger users spent significantly more time on Facebook than older ones. Our findings underscore the importance of cultural influence for African American online users. Displaying photographs and personal interests on Facebook signals racial identity among African American college students. Personality traits, such as self-esteem, trust in people, satisfaction with university life, and racial identity, were not significant predictors on the time spent on Facebook.

The new "new racism" thesis: limited government values and race-conscious policy attitudes.

Some contend that Whites' application of values to form opinions about race-conscious policy may constitute a subtle form of racism. Others challenge the new racism thesis, suggesting that racism and values are exclusive in their influence. Proponents of the thesis assert that many Whites' attitudes about such policy are structured by a mix of racism and American individualism. The author suggests that an even more subtle form of racism may exist. Racism may actually be expressed in opposition to big government. The test results presented here indicate that the effects of limited-government values on attitudes about race-conscious policy are conditional on levels of racial prejudice for many Whites, whereas the effects on racially ambiguous social welfare policy attitudes are not. The author contends that these results provide support to the argument that racism still exists and has found a new subtle expression.

Sensing design and workmanship: the haptic skills of shoppers in eighteenth-century London.

This article explores how eighteenth-century shoppers understood the material world around them. It argues that retail experiences exposed shoppers to different objects, which subsequently shaped their understanding of this world. This article builds on recent research that highlights the importance of shop environments and browsing in consumer choice. More particularly, it differentiates itself by examining the practice of handling goods in shops and arguing that sensory interaction with multiple goods was one of the key means by which shoppers comprehended concepts of design and workmanship. In doing so, it affirms the importance of sensory research to design history. The article focuses on consumer purchases of ceramic objects and examines a variety of sources to demonstrate the role of haptic skills in this act. It shows how different literary sources described browsing for goods in gendered and satirical terms and then contrasts these readings against visual evidence to illustrate how handling goods was also represented as a positive act. It reads browsing as a valued practice requiring competence, patience and haptic skills. Through an examination of diary sources, letters and objects this article asks what information shoppers gained from touching various objects. It concludes by demonstrating how repetitive handling in search of quality meant that shoppers acquired their own conception of what constituted workmanship and design.

Migrants and the diffusion of low marital fertility in Belgium.

Although the diffusion of fertility behavior between different social strata in historical communities has received considerable attention in recent studies, the relationship between the diffusion of fertility behavior and the diffusion of people (migration) during the nineteenth century remains largely underexplored. Evidence from population registers compiled in the Historical Database of the Liège Region, covering the period of 1812 to 1900, reveals that migrant couples in Sart, Belgium, from 1850 to 1874 and from 1875 to 1899 had a reduced risk of conception. The incorporation of geographical mobility, as well as the migrant status of both husbands and wives, into this fertility research sheds light not only on the spread of ideas and behaviors but also on the possible reasons why the ideas and behaviors of immigrants might have been similar to, or different from, those of a native-born population.
