Moderately positive educational environment with opportunities for improvement
BACKGROUND: Medical schools play a significant role in shaping students' professional development. The environment in which students learn, both the culture and the resources, directly impacts their education and future practice. This study aimed to assess medical graduates' perceptions of their learning environment, identify areas for improvement, and determine key factors that influence these perceptions. The findings will inform educators, pol…
Learning planetary health through international & interprofessional education
BACKGROUND: Planetary health, defined as the interdependence of human and ecological systems, is recognised as an urgent concern for health professional education. Most reported interventions have been developed within single institutions, and empirical evidence examining international and interdisciplinary approaches remains limited. METHODS: Reflective writings from 25 medical, nursing, and pharmacy students who participated in a one-week in-pe…

Ecological Modeling
An ecological model relates interactions within and between people and other life forms in an ecosystem context. Anthropologists use ecological modeling to address issues such as sustainability of cultural practices, how population structures are likely to respond to policies, and the ecological impacts of human activities. In anthropology, ecological modeling initially arose in response to cultural ecology as developed by Julian Steward and Lesl…
Resolving Multiplexed Automotive Communications
Early streets contained a thriving social structure, without automobiles. When automobiles were introduced, there was not a friendly integration of the vehicles to city streets and country roads. Instead, early automobiles were rather anti-social to street life, often causing great divides between the public, who felt they had a right to streets, and drivers, whose automobiles? speed and power quickly dominated them.. This phenomenon was illustra…
Persistent Cultures
Kinship is understood dynamically and processually but kinship terminologies are remarkably stable idea systems. They provide cultural continuity over time and are more resistant to modification than many types of cultural instantiations. Miskitu speakers in Nicaragua, however, have adopted new kin terms that appear to have fundamentally changed the idea system used to generate their kin terms historically. The shape of the changes that have occu…
The Cultural Grounding of Kinship
Les bases culturelles de la parenteUn changement de paradigmeD’un point de vue conceptuel, les systemes de parente reposent sur des modes de representation culturelle que nous appelons terminologies de parente et a partir desquelles les limites, la forme et la structure des principes d’organisation sociale sont culturellement elabores. Contrairement a ce que les anthropologues tiennent depuis longtemps pour acquis, une terminologie n’est pas forc…
Harmonizing Diversity
The contributions in this issue of Social Science Computer Review represent a range of computational approaches to theoretical and disciplinary specializations in anthropology that reflect on and expand the future orientation and practice of the formal and comparative agenda in the context of an increasing emphasis on complexity in anthropology as a discipline. Themes covered in this issue include kinship, funerary burials, urban legends, eye tra…
The temporal and spatial quantification of Holocene sediment dynamics in a meso-scale catchment in northern Bavaria, Germany
The Aufsess River catchment (97 km 2 ) in northern Bavaria, Germany, is studied to establish a Holocene sediment budget and to investigate the sediment dynamics since the early times of farming in the third millennium BCE. The temporal characterization of the sediment dynamics is based on an intensive dating program with 73 OSL and 14 14 C ages. To estimate soil erosion and deposition, colluvial and alluvial archives are investigated in the field…
Using Matching Methods to Link Social and Physical Analyses for Sustainability Planning

Cultural dynamics
Formalization is typically associated by both supporters and detractors of formal methods with an emphasis on form over content or meaning. However well founded, this association fails to capture why we employ (or not) formal descriptions of what we are describing.One problem arises when we try to directly link human thought to human behavior (or vice versa); assuming the process of going from one to the other is complex and idiosyncratic, but di…
The ideation and instantiation of arranging marriage within an urban community in Pakistan, 1982–2000
Using longitudinal data and marriage arrangements in urban Pakistan, this paper discusses the consequences of changes in ideational systems. Merging different theoretical approaches (or cultures) within cultural anthropology, it argues that, while symbol systems are not an analogue of an external world, nevertheless they are effective drivers for how people relate to, adapt to and modify the external relations within which they are embedded. This…
Introduction
The authors present examples of how anthropologists are presently using computers to advance ethnographic research in new directions while building on what has come before. All the methods, protocols, and tools created by the authors are free, open source, and available on the Internet. The contributions are the authors' attempts to address greater complexity through greater control over the data and structures within which anthropologists work. …
