Abstract:

Despite recent interest in the history of the American worker, relatively little attention has been paid to the evolution of corporate employment and labor relations practices, particularly in the nonunion sector. In this article, Professor Jacoby examines the employee attitude testing program at Sears, Roebuck and Company and places it in a larger historical context as well as in the narrower framework of developments in personnel relations. During the 1940s and 1950s the Sears program was one of the most innovative and sophisticated applications of behavioral science to workplace problems, a

Abstract:

Less than two decades after Sears, Roebuck-once the nation's largest mail-order business-entered the retailing business in 1924, it had gained prominence in that field nearly equal to that of its competitors. This unprecedented rate of expansion was marked by innovations in merchandising and store design. Sears was a pioneer in creating department stores that catered to men as well as women, that eschewed style in favor of practicality in merchandise, and that allowed customers to select goods without the aid of a clerk. The buildings likewise broke from convention. They were generally oriente

This article was first published in Radical History Review No. 25, 1986. Since then the controversy has escalated dramatically, with articles in the New York Times and Ms magazine and editorials in the Washington Post.

When the Sears, Roebuck Company opened its first store in Mexico City on February 28, 1947, an observer reported that the crowds on opening day were generally “well behaved, but impatient; they wanted to buy! buy! and buy!” Saleswomen panicked “as a sea of hands thrust pesos toward them, into their pockets, into their blouses, anywhere—just to complete a purchase.” Customers not only refused to leave at the end of the day; they stayed outside the store after closing. They jammed the street at night trying to look through the windows. On Saturday, two days after the store opened, Sears observer

This essay analyses Buster Keaton’s masterpieces: One Week (1920); The Haunted House (1921) and The Electric House (1922). His filmic work reveals the montage of mass housing prefabrication in the Modern Age in the United States: repetition and mechanisation of the building production; generic layouts; and modular like–catalogue constructions. Rather than following a sequential building process, these cases are executed as mere accidents or flaws. Buster Keaton’s films however show ironically a non–standardized architecture.

While Myrtle browsed, I spotted a diversion that promised even more variety than the retail behemoth's tentative steps into fashion wear: it was a water fountain.

Innovative practices established during his time included sales for cash only and satisfaction guaranteed or money refunded.

The glass skyscraper was a dream of architects and historians alike throughout the early and mid-twentieth century, but the ubiquity of the “glass box” occurred decades after Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's seminal proposals in 1922. In fact, these and other proposals for all-glass building skins were ridiculed by the profession, in particular Chicago architect George C. Nimmons, designer of the first “windowless department store” for Sears, Roebuck in 1934. Heating and cooling costs, he argued, would be prohibitive in such a building, and scientific writers sided with him; with modern services, no

Abstract This article argues for the need for the empirical analysis of how firms manage repugnance and core-stigmatization. To develop our empirical perspective, we compare the work on repugnance with the existing empirical literature in management on core-stigma and argue that core-stigmatization results from the mobilized repugnance. The core-stigmatized firm faces higher transaction costs. We demonstrate, through a case-study of the strategies of MindGeek/Pornhub in the online pornography market, how transaction costs economics can explain the choice of strategies to deal with core-stigma.

Abstract:

Mobile health (mHealth) lifestyle interventions for obesity have gained popularity. However, acceptance and efficacy of these in minority populations is less known. The aim of this study was to assess efficacy of a 12-week culturally sensitive mHealth dietary intervention on weight in African Americans (AA) Randomized 12-week pilot study of 43 overweight or obese AA. Subjects were randomized to mHealth intervention (INT) or Standard of Care (SOC).

Abstract:

Introduction and Objective: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has revolutionized diabetes care in the outpatient setting, though data on CGM accuracy in the pediatric inpatient setting remains lacking. We aim to see whether CGM values in this population, compared to standard hospital point of care blood glucose (POC BG) checks, fall within an acceptable range according to established CGM accuracy analyses. Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of pediatric patients aged 1-18 years using CGM devices who were admitted to a children’s hospital system from June 2022 to June 2024. CG

Abstract:

Introduction and Objective: Physical activity (PA) is a well-known intervention resulting in weight loss, improved physical fitness and metabolic parameters, thereby contributing to reduced risk of conditions such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. Interventions promoting healthy lifestyle are more likely to succeed if they are culturally tailored. The goal of this study is to assess the impact of a 48 week tiered, supervised, and culturally tailored PA intervention in obese AA women. Methods: This is a pilot, single arm study in obese AA females at r
