Efectividad De Un Centro Sociosanitario Para Poblaciones Vulnerables Y Difícil Acceso Con Tuberculosis en Cataluña
Arctic coastal communities and the social ontologies of sea ice
The High Arctic region warms at a rate three to four times greater than the global average. By 2040, the North Pole is projected to become partly ice-free and navigable. Given this approaching reality, this study discusses how environmental sociology contributes to understanding coastal communities’ relationships to their seascapes and adaptive responses to a transforming Arctic region. Frozen Arctic seas can be situated within two social ontolog…

Against determinism
The famous “Seasonal Variations of the Eskimo” by Marcel Mauss has traditionally been understood as a text about the dominance of the social world in determining and imposing seasonal organisation on the physical world. Such interpretations of seasonality typically fail to take adequate account of contemporary European and North American debates about land and society. Paying close attention to the historical context of the essay reveals strong e…
Return to Babel
Information system research that recognises, supports and enables access of diverse knowledge communities on-line has become a major concern. Of particular concern is how these digital resources can support and preserve local identities and promote grassroots involvement in creating the infrastructure of devolved governance. The aim of this paper is to expose some of the conceptual obstacles to programmes of devolved and local knowledge resources…
Science for the People
Noah Piugaattuk, one of Igloolik's most celebrated Elders, was a local icon of indigenous wisdom. Piugaattuk (Figure 1) passed away a few years ago in his mid-nineties, having lived to witness Igloolik life for nearly the entire twentieth century. Among his many experiences, he had travelled the region as a catechist and guide to the early missionaries, witnessing many of the profound changes to Inuit culture from these early days. His knowledge …

Caregivers' Judgments of the Functional Abilities of the Alzheimer's Disease Patient
The assessment of functional capacity is essential for the diagnosis of dementia by DSM-IV criteria and has important implications for patient intervention and management. Although ratings of functional disability by family or other proxy informants are widely used by clinicians, there have been concerns and empirical evidence that potential reporter biases may result in either overestimation or underestimation of specific functional deficits. In…
