Development of a Conceptual Framework for Adult Community Rehabilitation Policy, Planning, Care, and Research
To address recognized gaps in community rehabilitation service coordination and advance delivery of rehabilitation services for adults living outside of institutions, we have developed a conceptual framework to inform the design of community rehabilitation policy, planning, care, and research. Employing a multimethod qualitative approach, we developed a draft framework based on a document review as well as interviews with community rehabilitation…
'You knit me together in my mother's womb'
The Valley ministers are all men and married with children: four are in their mid-forties, one in his late-fifties and one in his mid-thirties. The prior notion that human beings are adopted into the family of God provides a precedent for demoting biological relatedness. Firstly on the grounds that it seems to the author to be biological adultery, but secondly because of the muddle and complexity and pain that people are introducing to three or f…
Including Our Own
The concept of ‘belonging’ has such an embracing effect in English that it can encompass any form of association, including narrational or logical association, as in stories or classificatory systems, and appropriations which draw any manner of human or non-human elements towards one: ‘the author colleague’, ‘author illness’, ‘author cat’, ‘author way’. A common observation in and about Alltown is that in the past ‘cousins married cousins’, and t…
Healthy Smile, Happy Child
Indigenous populations in Canada are disproportionately affected by early childhood caries. The Healthy Smile, Happy Child initiative utilizes a community development approach to encourage community uptake of evidence-based early childhood oral health promotion strategies. Sharing circles and focus groups elicited First Nations and Metis (Indigenous peoples of mixed Indigenous-European, primarily French, ancestry) views on the challenges of keepi…
Exploring the delivery of community rehabilitation services for older people in an urban Canadian setting
As the global population of older people increases, policies aimed at improving health care delivery for older people often include supports for ageing in place. Living in the community not only reduces institutionalisation but also improves quality of life and reduces health care costs. For older people, community rehabilitation offers the opportunity to preserve and maximise function while maintaining the ability to live in the community. Howev…
Supplemental Material for A Sociocultural Norm Perspective on Big Five Prediction
Full Issue
We believe that the forthright sharing of information among foundations and nonprofits builds a knowledge base that strengthens their ability to effectively address critical social issues. We encourage foundation donors, boards, and staff to honor this transparency in their own practices and to support others who do so
Supplemental Material for The Social Advantage of Miscalibrated Individuals
A Feel for Genealogy
Family history research is popular in England. As a social practice it straddles social class and is confined to neither the middle nor the working classes, but shows an enthusiastic and flourishing interest in the workings of social class and in micro-histories of the region. This article focuses on experts in family history research in a region of the north west of England where it is referred to colloquially as 'family treeing'. Here family tr…
Across class
Introduction
Global narratives about the 2016 US presidential election and the UK referendum highlight rupture-liberal democracy in crisis. Yet some observers interpret this moment to be business as usual writ large-a display of racial, class, and gender injustices that have long betrayed democratic ideals. Contributors to this special AE Forum explore both perspectives as they probe the disorientation many feel and address issues such as the politics of lyin…
Does a pay-for-performance program for primary care physicians alleviate health inequity in childhood vaccination rates
The P4P program had a limited impact on vaccination rates and did not address health inequity
Parents’ and caregivers’ perspectives on the M anitoba Dental Association's Free First Visit program
The majority of participants liked the FFV program and believed that it should continue. Parents would benefit from further education and encouragement to seek oral care for their child by age one. Some general dentists may need further training and skills to meet the recommendations for first dental visits
Donor Conception and (Dis)closure in the UK
As many aspects of assisted conception become familiar, others emerge not only as unfamiliar, but also unpredicted. This article focuses on a newly emergent kin figure – the donor sibling. It suggests that the anthropology of friendship might have as much to tell us about the significance of the donor sibling in Euro-American kinship thinking as the anthropology of kinship. The article locates the donor-sibling in changes in UK legislation and po…

Isabel I de Castilla
For several decades, Miguel Ángel Ladero has dominated the field of late medieval Spanish history in all its aspects. The ‘Catholic Queen’, Isabel of Castile, even more than her husband Fernando, has always been an important focus of his research, and this collection of studies is a fine example of his immense output, almost all of which has not, unfortunately, been translated into English The first chapter surveys Isabel’s reign and the years be…
Tugging on a thread (of thought)
Let me tug at one of what I see as the key threads of Strathern's paper. She invites us to question an anthropological tool of the trade-a banality that seems obvious. How, Strathern asks, did relations become an object of description? How did we get to be able to relate relations? In tracking the concept of affinity by way of Yanomami affines who evoke alterity (not similarity), and by way of eighteenth-century shifts in its meaning from kinship…

Ancestors, class, and contingency
Local family historians in the north of England are not only intent on "finding" their ancestors but in adding "flesh" to the bones of genealogy. Many are as interested in the social life of their ancestors as they are in their family tree or pedigree and, through their research, they excavate particular social and classed histories which combine discourses of land, labor, love, and loss. As well as deepening a sense of the workings of class in E…

Factors associated with condom use
In the Caribbean region, an estimated 1.1% of the population aged 15-49 is living with HIV. We aimed to measure factors associated with condom use, the primary form of positive prevention in the Caribbean, among people living with HIV (PLHIV) in its major agency advocating on behalf of PLHIV (the Caribbean Regional Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS, or CRN +). Condom use at last sex was selected for analysis from a broad-ranging cross-sectio…

More local patterns of area effect are further revealed, eg more mixed land use is associated with higher levels of walking in some but not all areas of the city, suggesting that the significance and magnitude of associations between built environment characteristics and walking are not the same across space. Discussion: Application and findings of the three approaches lead to distinct yet complementary conclusions about the environmenta…
Contradictions of support and self-help
Providers of community health and social services to families with young children are aware of increasing poverty in particular localities and amongst particular social groups. They are also aware that their own sphere of influence which they could previously activate on behalf of their clients is diminishing.

Chronic and temporarily activated causal uncertainty beliefs and stereotype usage
In 3 studies, we examined the hypothesis that the effects of stereotype usage on target judgments are moderated by causal uncertainty beliefs and related accuracy goal structures.In Study 1, we focused on the role of chronically accessible causal uncertainty beliefs as predictors of a target's level of guilt for an alleged academic misconduct offense.In Study 2, we examined the role of chronic causal uncertainty reduction goals and a manipulated …
Incorporating Incest
This article is about the ways in which residents of an English town explore ever-changing possibilities presented by new reproductive technologies (NRTs). It focuses on the way in which the idiom of incest emerges as a conceptual brake to certain possibilities presented by biotechnological intervention in conception. In this specific ethnographic example, we see that the meaning of incest is neither fixed nor predictable and goes beyond ideas ab…
Make-up
This paper looks through the ethnographic lens of 'new reproductive and genetic technologies' (NRGT) at the idiom of 'make-up' in English understandings of personhood and relatedness. In the kinship thinking of interest here, persons are both 'made' and 'made-up'. There are both unpredictable and inevitable elements in the way in which people 'turn-out' and their character or personality is meant to be idiosyncratic, lumpy and unique. The paper d…

Why dolly matters
In 1997, it was reported that a sheep had been successfully 'cloned'at the Roslin Institute in Scotland. The sheep, named Dolly, attracted a great deal of attention and the idea of 'cloning' appeared to generate, in much of the western world at least, both anxiety and anticipation in equal measure. Discussion generated in the media immediately turned to the advantages and disadvantages of cloning people. I focus here on some of the responses to D…

Parenting Skills
The concept of 'parenting skills' features large in professional, political and popular discourse on the role and responsibility of parents. This article explores what constitutes skills of parenting from the perspective of community health and social service providers, working with families deemed to be 'in need'. It shows how the concept is drawn on to describe both the needs of women with whom they work and their own role in fulfilling some of…

These two strands can also be discern…

Born and Bred
Born and Bred is an ethnography of Bacup in the north-west of England. At the heart of the cotton industry in the nineteenth century, this Lancashire town has undergone deep social and economic change during the twentieth, yet it remains a hive of social activity. The book dwells on the way in which the past features large in people’s talk about the place and about each other, but it questions the claim that such a preoccupation is simply due to …

Taking 'public understanding' seriously
In the UK, there appears to be a general consensus that the public understanding of genetics is poor: crudely put, there is not enough of it. There is also a commonly expressed view that ethical and social debate is desperately lagging behind scientific and technological innovation in this field. A solution commonly put forward is for 'the public' to be better educated: at the least to be provided with more and better information about the 'new g…

Molecular Modeling Studies of the Binding Characteristics of Phosphates to Sevelamer Hydrochloride – Assessing a Novel Technique to Reduce Phosphates Contamination
Recent advances in the use of polymeric materials for the remediation of phosphate from aqueous systems, including biological environments, have prompted the use of computational techniques to determine which methods are feasible to model such complex systems and to model the mechanism of binding action. In particular, Sevelamer Hydrochloride (Renagel) is used as our model polymer. A relatively simple system is constructed with a dimer of Sevelam…
