The focus of plan quality is on evaluating plans-as-objects against normative characteristics researchers and planning practitioners believe contribute to a high quality plan. This study builds on the established plan quality literature and methods to assess the quality of official (comprehensive) plans from sixty-three of the most populous municipalities in the Ontario-Greater Golden Horseshoe region (Canada). Three key themes emerged from this analysis. First, the provincial government plays a role in municipal official plan quality....

The political and institutional coordinates that appear in official classifications of the victims of the Peruvian armed conflict (1980–2000) affect their subsequent recognition as beneficiaries of reparations programs. A review of the conceptual bases of the Comprehensive Reparations Program calls attention to the tension in the design and implementation of this program between a strictly reparative approach and another that addresses the structural disparities present in the aftermath of the war. Examination of the effects...

Supplemental material, Auspurg_online_supplement for Does Immigration Reduce the Support for Welfare Spending? A Cautionary Tale on Spatial Panel Data Analysis by Katrin Auspurg, Josef Brüderl and Thomas Wöhler in American Sociological Review

There has been a long-lasting debate over whether increasing ethnic diversity undermines support for social welfare, and whether this conflict thesis applies not only to the United States, but also to European welfare states. In their 2016 ASR article, Schmidt-Catran and Spies analyzed a panel (1994 to 2010) of regional units in Germany and concluded that this thesis also holds for Germany. We argue that their analysis suffers from misspecification: their model specification assumes parallel...

Supplemental material, AUT862113_Lay_Abstract for Parent couples’ participation in speech-language therapy for school-age children with autism spectrum disorder in the United States by Michelle Flippin and Debbie L Hahs-Vaughn in Autism

Purpose:Differentiating the underlying pathology of macular edema in patients with diabetic retinopathy following cataract surgery can be challenging. In 2015, Munk and colleagues trained and tested a machine learning classifier which uses optical coherence tomography variables in order to distinguish the underlying pathology of macular edema between diabetic macular edema and pseudophakic cystoid macular edema. It was able to accurately diagnose the underlying pathology in 90%–96% of cases. However, actually using the trained classifier required...

Supplemental material, Supplemental_Data for Samidorphan mitigates olanzapine-induced weight gain and metabolic dysfunction in rats and non-human primates by Jacobi I Cunningham, David J Eyerman, Mark S Todtenkopf, Reginald L Dean, Daniel R Deaver, Connie Sanchez and Mark Namchuk in Journal of Psychopharmacology

Background:Olanzapine, regarded as one of the most efficacious antipsychotic medications for the treatment of schizophrenia, is associated with a high risk of weight gain and metabolic dysfunction. ALKS 3831, a clinical candidate for treatment of schizophrenia, is a combination of olanzapine and samidorphan, an opioid receptor antagonist. The addition of samidorphan is intended to mitigate weight gain and the metabolic dysregulation associated with the use of olanzapine.Methods:Non-clinical studies were conducted to assess the metabolic effects...

Supplemental Material for Properties and pitfalls of weighting as an alternative to multilevel multiple imputation in cluster randomized trials with missing binary outcomes under covariate-dependent missingness by Elizabeth L Turner, Lanqiu Yao, Fan Li and Melanie Prague in Statistical Methods in Medical Research

In psychology, researchers are often interested in the predictive classification of individuals. Various models exist for such a purpose, but which model is considered a best practice is conditional on attributes of the data. Under certain conditions, linear discriminant analysis (LDA) has been shown to perform better than other predictive methods, such as logistic regression, multinomial logistic regression, random forests, support-vector machines, and the K-nearest neighbor algorithm. The purpose of this Tutorial is to provide...

Supplemental material, JOAA_Supplemental_files for “That’s the Point of Going”: A Qualitative Inquiry Into the Experiences of Black Males at an Early College High School by Tempestt R. Adams, Brian K. Williams and Chance W. Lewis in Journal of Advanced Academics

Early college high schools are small schools designed to increase college and career readiness for groups underrepresented in higher education. While some research has focused on student experiences in the early college environment, few have specifically examined the perceptions of Black male students. The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of Black males in an early college high school. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected using focus groups and...

By applying event history analysis to a unique large sample of more than 300 government affairs managers working for companies active in the European Union (EU), this article investigates whether managers with work experience in the public or nonprofit sector are more likely to progress in their career in their current company and whether career progression depends on when that experience takes place. The findings suggest that managers with experience in the public and nonprofit...

Supplemental material, DRDP_SupplementalMaterials for Psychometric Validation and Reorganization of the Desired Results Developmental Profile by Tutrang Nguyen, Stephanie M. Reich, Jade Marcus Jenkins and Jamal Abedi in Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment

This study reports an independent investigation of the psychometric properties of Desired Results Developmental Profile (DRDP), a teacher-rated measure of school readiness for preschool-aged children. In a sample of 2,031 low-income, 3- to 5-year-old children attending Head Start, we tested three measurement models: a higher order one-factor model, a seven-factor model, and a five-factor model. To explore the appropriateness of the DRDP for use with diverse populations of young children, we used multiple group and...
