Traditional or Modern Contraception? Association Between Health Worker Contact and Contraceptive Choice in India: Findings From NFHS 2019–2021

Studies in Family Planning, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite greater availability and affordability of modern contraception, the use of traditional contraception is rising in India. We examined the relationship between Indian women's contact with a community health worker (CHW) and discussion of family planning (FP) with their contraceptive use.

A finiteness bound for the EPRL/FK spin foam model

, 2013
We show that the EPRL/FK spin foam model of quantum gravity has an absolutely convergent partition function if the vertex amplitude is divided by an appropriate power $p$ of the product of dimensions of the vertex spins.

“I Can Do It, We Can Change It”: Protest as a Catalyst for Political Efficacy

Sociological Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how protest episodes foster political efficacy among ordinary citizens. Based on 44 in‐depth interviews with participants in two major 2018 mobilizations in Spain—the feminist strike of International Women's Day and the pensioners' protests—the analysis identifies discursive expressions that reflect attitudinal change ...

Spin Foam Models of Riemannian Quantum Gravity

, 2002
Using numerical calculations, we compare three versions of the Barrett-Crane model of 4-dimensional Riemannian quantum gravity. In the version with face and edge amplitudes as described by De Pietri, Freidel, Krasnov, and Rovelli, we show the partition ...

Emotions in Meaning‐Making: Toward a Sociological Theory of Cathexis

Sociological Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The role of emotion in meaning‐making remains undertheorized in cultural sociology. This article argues that emotions and affect are intrinsic to meaning‐making and proposes cathexis—the attachment of emotions generated in social interaction to objects, symbols, and ideas—as the fundamental mechanism by which emotions co‐constitute cultural ...

Foaming Processes and Properties of Geopolymer Foam Concrete

Geopolymer foam concrete (GFC) is created by incorporating pores into geopolymer slurry or mortar. The functional and mechanical properties, such as thermal insulation, compressive strength, and density, are influenced by the characteristics of the pores and the properties of their walls.

PFAS Vadose Zone Mass Discharge at an AFFF‐Impacted Site: 1. Validation Based on a Multiple Lines‐of‐Evidence Approach

Remediation Journal, Volume 36, Issue 2, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT Questions have recently been raised about the suitability of using porewater samples collected with suction lysimeters to estimate per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) mass discharge in the vadose zone. Multiple lines of evidence were evaluated to determine if porewater samples collected during a data gaps investigation in the former ...

Three Dimensional Loop Quantum Gravity: Particles and the Quantum Double

, 2006
It is well known that the quantum double structure plays an important role in three dimensional quantum gravity coupled to matter field. In this paper, we show how this algebraic structure emerges in the context of three dimensional Riemannian loop ...
