Links between the ornamental sector and alien plants in Southern Africa
Humans and ornamental plants have a long relationship that could explain why ornamental gardening has been one of the main reasons for intentionally introducing and spreading plants worldwide. In Southern Africa, a significant part of the alien flora was introduced for ornamental purposes. Some species have become invasive, with ecological and socio‐economic impacts that can create conflicts between stakeholders, depending on their relationships …
Realigning practices of care and environmental governance
This article presents This article presents findings from a transdisciplinary research project on collaborative practices for the sustainable management of natural resources (SMNR) in Wales. Here, the legislation establishes that the national well-being agenda and the principle of SMNR in environmental governance must be achieved through collaborative and participatory practices, across sectors and organisations, including within the public secto…
Does treatment collection and observation each day keep the patient away? An analysis of the determinants of adherence among patients with Tuberculosis in South Africa
Directly observed treatment short course (DOTS) has been the recommended strategy for Tuberculosis (TB) control since 1995. Developed as an alternative to inpatient treatment, it involves observation of patients' medication intake to promote adherence. However, the burden of daily clinic visits may affect access to care. Using a mixed methods approach, we consider whether (1) non-adherence differs systematically between patients required to make …
Exploring Perceptions of Credible Science Among Policy Stakeholder Groups
How do different stakeholder groups define credible science? Using original qualitative focus group data, this exploratory study suggests that while nuclear energy stakeholder groups consider the same factors when assessing credibility (specifically, knowledge source, research funding, research methods, publication, and replication), groups differ in their assessments of what constitutes expertise, what demonstrates (or reduces) trustworthiness, …
Acceptable Care? Illness Constructions, Healthworlds, and Accessible Chronic Treatment in South Africa
Achieving equitable access to health care is an important policy goal, with access influenced by affordability, availability, and acceptability of specific services. We explore patient narratives from a 5-year program of research on health care access to examine relationships between social constructions of illness and the acceptability of health services in the context of tuberculosis treatment and antiretroviral therapy in South Africa. Accepta…
Bringing Justice to Unacceptable Health Care Services? Street-Level Reflections from Urban South Africa
Transforming repressive institutions into respected instruments of justice is necessary for the social reconstruction of fragile and postconflict states. Yet, little attention has been given to the role of health systems in facilitating such change. We situate South Africa’s right to access health care as part of a broader sociopolitical endeavour to ‘bring justice’ in the aftermath of apartheid and argue that street-level bureaucrats tasked with…

The reason that I did not go - determinants of the use of antenatal care services in South Africa, two decades after the end of apartheid
According to South Africa's new constitution, access to health care is a fundamental right. Equitable provision of maternal health care is important in redressing past legacies and achieving the Millennium Development Goals. We analyse the utilisation of antenatal care (ANC) services under South Africa's public health system to inform policy concerned with equity of access.We conceptualise access to care as covering three distinct but interacting…
Welcome waste – interpreting narratives of radioactive waste disposal in two small towns in Ontario, Canada
After briefly reviewing the production of nuclear energy and waste in Canada, this paper uses two small Ontario towns as case studies to examine the treatment of low-level radioactive waste and the communities’ responses and narratives to it. Both towns, Port Hope and Kincardine, have long histories of dealing with such waste. Using interviews, relevant websites and past accounts, this paper employs a discourse analysis to understand the differen…

Sources of Assistance in an Urban Ethnic Community
The question of what sources of aid and assistance were relied upon in hypothetical crisis situations was examined in a representative sample of Jews in a middle-sized American city. Restriction of the source of assistance to the nuclear family was the primary strategy reported, followed by consultation with professionals. Kin and friends were seen as about of equal importance with very little utilization of general purpose counseling agencies re…
Small Scale Forestry Enterprise in Three Zones of Southern Chile
Settlement Types and Community Organization in Northern Canada
Summarizes 1961-1962 field studies of settlements resulting from post-World War II development in the Northwest Territories. On criteria of community planning, function, and social structure, seven settlement types are distinguished: isolated technical, e.g. weather stations; military; outpost service, e.g. Dorset; serviced native enclave, e.g. Akudlik at Churchill; regional administrative; frontier; and mining. Each type is characterized as to s…

The Indian and Mestizaje in Peru
Political scientists in the Western democracies have long been alert to the semantic and general ideological significance of such terms as "the proletariat," "the Party," or "people's democracy." It is a common enough critical exercise to show how Marxist theory and Communist-bloc socioeconomic realities show interesting disparities. Similarly, social scientists interested in the process of class and culture transformation going on in Latin Ameri…
