The literature published in 1971 and 1972 on alcoholics in the United States was reviewed for objective psychological test data or behavioral measurements. The review was organized to facilitate further research by assembling information according to problem area and by including tests employed, significant findings ( p = .05), critical comments, and inferences for therapy. An appendix of references from 1968–1970 employing objective psychological measurements is included and cross-indexed.

Synthetic Control Method

AbstractBy May 29, 2020, all 50 states in the United States had reopened their economies to some extent after the coronavirus lockdown. Although there are many debates about whether states reopened their economies too early, no study has examined this effect quantitatively. This paper takes advantage of the daily cases, deaths, and test data at the state level, and uses the synthetic control method to address this question. I find that reopening the economy caused an additional 2000 deaths in the 6 states (Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas) that reopened before May 1st by three weeks after reopening. It also increased daily confirmed cases by 40%, 52%, and 53% after the first, second, and third week of reopening, respectively. Moreover, contrary to scientists’ prescription that expanding tests is a necessary condition for reopening, these states witnessed a decline in daily tests by 17%, 47%, and 31% after the first, second, and third week of reopening, respectively.

Communist Countries

In the past few years a large number of books, articles, and pamphlets have been published on the future problems of underdeveloped countries. In most of these accounts, economic, cultural, or administrative questions receive chief attention. Mr. Staley has now produced a book in which the international political problems of the underdeveloped countries are given primary emphasis. In particular, the book concentrates on one problem area: what role do underdeveloped countries play in the present division of the world into a Communist and a non-Communist bloc; what are the doctrines and strategies the Communists have worked out for underdeveloped countries; what chances are there of the underdeveloped countries falling under Communist domination; and, finally, what policies can be adopted by the non-Communist countries, particularly the United States, in order to keep free from Communist infiltration and subversion as large a portion of the world as possible?

Utility Measurement

Like chapter 1, chapter 4 broadens the narrative beyond utility measurement and reconstructs the discussions of measurement that took place in physics, philosophy, and psychology between 1910 and 1940. In physics and philosophy, the most influential discussion of measurement was presented in 1920 by Cambridge physicist Norman Robert Campbell. Campbell articulated a theory of fundamental and derived measurement that ultimately maintained the identification of measurement with unit-based measurement. In the 1920s, psychologists such as William Brown and Godfrey Thomson in England and Louis Leon Thurstone in the United States argued that some of their quantification techniques were capable of delivering unit-based measurement of sensations. Physicists denied this, and the resulting clash of views generated a controversy that engaged British physicists and psychologists from 1932 to 1940. The controversy ended in deadlock, with physicists and psychologists unable to find agreement on the meaning and the conditions of measurement.

Discourse Patterns

The purpose of this review is to characterize research and portray findings on English-as-a-second-language (ESL) reading instruction in the United States. The spectrum of research on ESL reading instruction in the United States might best be characterized as having considerable breadth, but little depth. However, some tentative themes emerged. Among the most important statements that could be made were the following. First, some broad classroom parameters were discerned: Students may work mainly in small groups, stressing word recognition and oral reading; typical instructional discourse patterns may be incompatible with common home-discourse patterns; and teachers may work with lower ESL groups in different ways and stress lower level skills even more as compared to higher ESL groups. Second, research contributed little clarification on issues surrounding the role and timing of native-language reading instruction and ESL reading instruction for ESL reading achievement. Third, instruction targeting specific student knowledge, such as vocabulary knowledge, background knowledge, and text-structure knowledge, was generally effective. Fourth, there was a paucity of information about important issues related to ESL reading in teacher materials.
