Employability resources of unemployed adults: longitudinal effects of a group career intervention by Catarina Luzia de Carvalho, João Marôco, Maria do Céu Taveira, Ana Daniela Silva

“…IntroductionThis study evaluates the efficacy of a group-based career intervention designed to promote employability resources among unemployed individuals conducted in face-to-face and online modalities.MethodsEmploying a longitudinal quasi-experimental design, with two intervention groups and a control group, data was collected pre-, post, and two months post-intervention.ResultsConditional Latent Growth Curve analysis revealed a significant decline in employability resources over time, mitigated by both intervention groups. Human capital and professional development were key at baseline and follow-up, while social capital and networking were crucial post-intervention. …”

American Weed: A History of Cannabis Cultivation in the United States by Nick Johnson

“…Understanding how the US became one of the premier cannabis-growing regions of the world in the late twentieth and twenty-first centuries will help scholars pinpoint major themes in the world history of cannabis, such as its adoption and distribution by marginalized peoples, its transnational appeal in a globalized capitalist system, and how the plant embeds itself within the urban and rural ecology of human civilization. With a clearer picture of these themes, cannabis scholarship can better inform future studies, discussions, and public policy related to the plant.…”
