THE GROWTH OF SPANISH‐LANGUAGE AND LATINO‐THEMED TELEVISION PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN IN THE UNITED STATES

Drawing on Hannah Hamad's concept of postfeminist masculinity, this article analyzes how the animated films Chicken Little (Disney, 2005) and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (Sony, 2009) construct postfeminist fatherhood in opposition to two traditional stereotypes: the emotionally distant authoritarian and the bumbling pal. In contrast to films from the 1980s and 1990s, in which sons struggle to live up to their fathers’ expectations, these films demand a change in paternal attitudes, requiring fathers to adapt to their sons’ needs instead. The article argues that the films offer a didactic message to fathers as well as sons, which suggests that in postfeminist fatherhood older parenting models are no longer viable, and a new culture of fatherhood is needed, which may offer a way of challenging hegemonic masculinity.     

A PILOT STUDY OF AN ALCOHOL EDUCATION COURSE FOR YOUNG WOMEN OFFENDERS: WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE?

Although the provision of Alcohol Education Courses (AECs) formale offenders has increased steadily in the last 10 years,treatment interventions for women have continued to be neglectedand under-researched. An Alcohol Education Course designed forwomen offenders was piloted in a prison. This report outlinesthe content of the course and the rationale for its development.Facilitatory and oppositional factors experienced in conductingwork in this setting are discussed. Application of this workis limited to female offenders aged 17–24 with drink-relatedoffending. This pilot study awaits replication in non-institutionalsettings.

CIRCUMSTANCES AND EFFORTS: HOW IMPORTANT IS THEIR CORRELATION FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF INEQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY IN HEALTH?

The way to treat the correlation between circumstances and effort is a central, yet largely neglected issue in the applied literature on inequality of opportunity. This paper adopts three alternative normative ways of treating this correlation championed by Roemer, Barry and Swift and assesses their empirical relevance using survey data. We combine regression analysis with the natural decomposition of the variance to compare the relative contributions of circumstances and efforts to overall health inequality according to the different normative principles. Our results suggest that, in practice, the normative principle on the way to treat the correlation between circumstances and effort makes little difference on the relative contributions of circumstances and efforts to explained health inequality.

CALL FOR PAPERS：INTERNATIONAL FORUM FOR PUBLIC HEALTH, SHANGHAI 2007

Healthy growth for everyone in the great family of the people in the world is definitely one of the most important goals for the progress and prosperity of human society. And the means for improving quality of life as well as prolonging the life span is mainly embodied in the science of public health. At the same time, along with the course of progress human beings are confronted with more and more unprecedented challenges and health problems such as the sudden appearance of emerging and reemerging infectious diseases, high incidence of noninfectious chronic diseases, food safety, and environmental pollution as well as publems brought about by city expanding and aging population, and more. People are realizing that public health involves not merely personal health, but many aspects of human society, even psychology.     

METHODS FOR CONTROLLING SOME HAZARDS

Respiratory hazards—can be of two general types: air contamination or oxygen deficiency. When an air contaminant such as asbestos dust is present, the actual concentration must be measured. With asbestos, as with many other types of air contaminants, engineering controls should be applied first to correct the problem.     

SELF‐PERCEIVED JOB INSECURITY AND THE DEMAND FOR MEDICAL REHABILITATION: DOES FEAR OF UNEMPLOYMENT REDUCE HEALTH CARE UTILIZATION?

An inverse relationship between job insecurity and sickness absence has been established in the literature, which is explained by employees avoiding to send signals of both poor health and uncooperative behavior towards the employer. In this paper, we focus on whether the same mechanism applies to the demand for medical rehabilitation measures. This question has recently gained much interest in the context of the current public debate on presenteeism. Using county‐level unemployment rates as instrument for the employees' fear of job loss on the individual level, we find that an increase in subjective job insecurity substantially decreases the probability of participating in medical rehabilitation.
