Personal Network Changes among Smoking Relapse Prevention Intervention Participants
This is promising evidence of the potential of HSQ to facilitate cessation in the network of those who recently quit smoking, which may benefit their ability to stay quit
Analysis of sub-national variation in global development goals to inform locally relevant sustainable development
What works to promote research-policy engagement
Background: To improve the use of evidence in policy and practice, many organisations and individuals seek to promote research-policy engagement activities, but little is known about what works. Aims and objectives: We sought (a) to identify existing research-policy engagement activities, and (b) evidence on impacts of these activities on research and decision making. Methods: We conducted systematic desk-based searches for organisations active i…
Conceptual issues in hominin taxonomy
Efforts to name and classify Middle Pleistocene Homo, often referred to as "Homo heidelbergensis" are hampered by confusing patterns of morphology but also by conflicting paleoanthropological ideologies that are embedded in approaches to hominin taxonomy, nomenclature, and the species concept. We deconstruct these issues to show how the field's search for a "real" species relies on strict adherence to pre-Darwinian essentialist naming rules in a …
Picture perfect? Examining associations between relationship quality, attention to alternatives, and couples' activities on Instagram
What do couples' activities and behaviors on Instagram reveal about the quality of their relationships? To answer this question, we surveyed couples ( N = 178) about their perceptions of their relationships and analyzed 3,270 of their recent Instagram posts. Actor and partner effects were found between relational quality and engagement with the relationship on Instagram (i.e., the number of couple pictures and partner-initiated likes and comments…
Defining and measuring sustainability
Ethnobotany in the North Coast of Peru
Healthy foods prepared at home
Birth outcomes tend to be better among Hispanics than among other ethnic groups, even when matched for poverty and education, and foreign-born Latinas compared to their US-born counterparts. These patterns suggest that sociocultural factors exhibited by recent immigrants have the potential to protect birth outcomes against the instability of minority and low socioeconomic status. To discover potential sociocultural factors, a pilot qualitative st…
Engaging promotora-led community-based participatory research
Dynamism in Traditional Ecological Knowledge
Along the Peruvian north coast, many towns depend on fishing for subsistence. The adoption of technological innovations has facilitated the extraction of marine resources from the Pacific Ocean by Peruvian fishermen in recent years. However, some artisanal fishermen continue to rely on traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) to create sea vessels using botanical resources. This is the case of the fishing community of Huanchaco, a beachside town, w…
It’s Complicated
The model presented by the ISF is difficult to achieve, but we offer concrete solutions to community members and scientists to move toward that ideal
Herbal remedy knowledge acquisition and transmission among the Yucatec Maya in Tabi, Mexico
There are two possible mechanisms that could account for the differences between cohorts: 1) knowledge accumulation over time; and/or 2) the stunting of knowledge acquisition through delayed acquisition, competing treatment options, and changes in values. Primary ethnographic evidence suggests that both mechanisms may be at play in Tabi. Future studies using longitudinal or cross-site comparisons are necessary to determine the whether and how the…
Linking Remote Sensing, Census and Interview Data to Understand Forest Transitions in the Southern Cone of the State of Yucatán, México
Land use land cover change studies have traditionally focused on deforestation processes and their associated drivers, while ignoring or assuming that reforestation processes were the reverse. However, recognition that regrowth processes are equally as complex and important as deforestation processes and play an important role in the large scale functions of tropical forests has led to a growing research interest in forest transitions. In this pa…
Distribution of Herbal Remedy Knowledge in Tabi, Yucatan, Mexico
Use of Network Centrality Measures to Explain Individual Levels of Herbal Remedy Cultural Competence among the Yucatec Maya in Tabi, Mexico
Common herbal remedy knowledge varies and is transmitted among individuals who are connected through a social network. Thus, social relationships have the potential to account for some of the variation in knowledge. Cultural consensus analysis (CCA) and social network analysis (SNA) were used together to study the association between intracultural variation in botanical remedy knowledge and social relationships in Tabi, Yucatan, Mexico. CCA, a th…

Approaches to medical audit
The last two or three years have seen an explosion of interest in medical audit, a phrase hitherto barely used in the UK except by a few hardy pioneers (for references, see' 2). Then in quick succession in the last two years appeared the Confidential Enquiry on Perioperative Deaths,3 the Report of the Royal College of Physicians on Medical Audit,4 and the White Paper "Working for patients".5 The White Paper provided a helpful definition of audit:…
Social class, epileptic activity, and disadvantage at work
A community sample of 94 adults with epilepsy were interviewed in their homes by a sociologist and a neurologist. Less than half of those who had worked full-time after the onset of their seizures could recall that their careers had been inhibited by their epilepsy, yet most felt 'at risk' and chose to conceal their condition from their employers or potential employers. Disadvantage in employment was found to be related both to a working class st…
