The illustration, which I titled "Brainstorming," is of an intelligent Japanese writer named Keigo Higashino, who is known for his mystery and detective novels. Higashino's stories prompt the reader to think about humanity and society critically. The ending of his books always gives readers a surprise and leave an impression, just as PURE Insights readers will be impressed by the excellent articles.

Through an ideological critique, I argue that through the game’s portrayal of a Western European-stylized colonist power as a benign imperial influence and of other cultures as impotent and/or evil others, Western colonialism is idealized as an acceptable norm. The use of racial stereotyping through fantasy race-based societies serves to designate acceptable and unacceptable others especially in regards to Eastern/Orient-stereotyped cultures.

The importance of physical activity in older adult life is widely recognized, yet older adults are the least active age group in the United States (Bethancourt, Rosenburg, Beatty, & Arterburn, 2014). This qualitative study focused on physical activity through individual interviews with older men and women (N=10) residing in an independent living community. Understanding more about what contributes to engagement may help to improve wellness programs in independent living communities. Volume 7 Supported by Margaret M. Manoogian Note Margaret M.

To understand the impact of farming and processing practices on the quantity of bacteria and drug resistance, organic and regular beef were assessed using MacConkey media. Bacterial colonies were sorted according to lactose utilization, with positive colonies representing fecal E. coli. Lactose negative colonies were further characterized into one of two groups (fecal Hafnia-like or soil Pseudomonas) using a variety of metabolic tests (oxidase, sulfur, indole). Advanced metabolic testing showed that regular beef contained significantly more fecal E. coli-like bacteria, Hafnia-like bacteria and fecal Providencia-like bacteria than organic beef. Soil Pseudomonas was only isolated from regular beef. This procedure was repeated using MacConkey plates containing commonly used agricultural antibacterial drugs to assess the prevalence and types of drug-resistant bacteria. Bacteria resistant to penicillin, sulfamethazine, cefazolin, or ampicillin were found at significantly higher levels on regular beef than organic. Bacteria resistant to more than one of these drugs were only found on regular beef.

Investigaré la manera en que las políticas contribuyen al nivel alto de violencia contra mujeres. Intentaré establecer paralelismos con otros ejemplos de gran migración de personas en cual experimentan niveles altos de violencia sexual. Por fin, sugeriré que los gobiernos de México y los Estados Unidos tienen que relajar el control de las fronteras para disminuir el nivel de violencia sexual que ocurre en el proceso de inmigración de personas indocumentadas. Dada la complejidad del problema de violencia, es necesaria haya grandes cambios sociales y políticos para abordar la cuestión, pero los gobiernos mexicanos y estadounidenses tienen las primeras responsabilidades a reducir la violencia sexual dentro de sus fronteras y proveer recursos a las víctimas.

One quarter of Costa Rica’s export income comes from tourism, with ecotourism being the most prominent form of tourism. The field research of this study was conducted in the regions of Tárcoles, Carara National Park, and Jacó along the Pacific Coast in Costa Rica where tourists who visit other local attractions often bypass Tárcoles. It explored which services interest tourists, what activities tourists travel to Costa Rica for, and the sustainable services they are willing to pay for. Multiple surveys, semi-structured interviews, and participant observation were the methods for data collection. The analysis of the data suggests that there are opportunities in Tárcoles for the community to take advantage of the tourists visiting nearby attractions and develop sustainable services that preserve the environment and create economic benefits for locals.

Historically, correctional institutions were designed for young, able-bodied inmates. Today, correctional institutions are finding the need to make accommodations for the unique physical and cognitive needs of those over age 55. Due to lack of health care and illicit behaviors, individuals who are incarcerated typically experience negative outcomes of aging earlier than those in the general population. With increased sentence lengths and a decline in physical and cognitive abilities, correctional facilities are finding it necessary to identify and create modifications. Some of the challenges correctional institutions are facing include structural changes to buildings, programs to aid with physical and cognitive decline, assistance with activities of daily living, as well as palliative and hospice care services. This literature review discusses the challenges and adaptations needed as inmates age in place, as well as outlines some successful trainings to educate corrections employees on the unique needs of aging inmates.

Past research has focused on grandmothers, with little research explicitly investigating the experiences of grandfathers in families. This review assesses sociohistorical trends, demographic influences, gendered patterns, and changes that occur in grandfather-grandchild relationships throughout the lifecourse. We describe the roles grandfathers maintain in their grandchildren’s negotiation of psychosocial and ecological life course tasks, the change and stability they experience relative to sociohistorical trends, and how grandfathers reconfirm masculine norms through generativity and provision of instrumental support. Findings indicate that future research investigating how grandfathers and grandchildren define and value their roles from a dyadic perspective is warranted. Implications include increasing awareness surrounding the significance of the grandfather role across generations. Volume 7 Supported by Margaret M. Manoogian Note Margaret M. Manoogian --
