Thermal Imaging and Physiological Analysis of Cold-Climate Caribou-Skin Clothing
Protective clothing is essential for human existence in the Arctic, and caribou-skin clothing has played a pivotal role for millennia. Although people with northern experience often extol caribou-skin clothing, few scientific studies have investigated its properties. We used infrared thermal imaging in a pilot study to compare authentic caribou-skin clothing sewn by traditional Inuit seamstresses with two other types of cold-weather clothing: a s…
The Beatles at Woodstock
The Beatles had a large influence on Woodstock even though the group was not physically present at the festival. This article traces the influence of the Beatles through a discussion of the covers of Beatles’ songs performed at the festival, the spirit of the Beatles as it manifested itself at Woodstock, and the presence of drugs both in the Beatles’ lives and music as well as at Woodstock. It also explores other ways in which the Beatles influen…
Walking a Tightrope
We examine columns of three Pulitzer Prize-winning African American columnists to identify the frames they used to offer perspective on the candidacy and early administration of Barack Obama, the first African American president of the United States. The period under study stretches from the time when it became clear that Obama would be the Democratic Party's presidential nominee through the first six months of his administration. Using a typolog…
Age‐related changes in testosterone and SHBG among Turkana males
To determine age‐related changes in biologically available testosterone (T) among men in a subsistence society and their relationship to energetic status, T, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and anthropometric measures were compared among nomadic and settled Turkana pastoralists of northern Kenya. Hormonal measures were available for 104 nomadic men and 72 settled men, estimated ages 20–90 years. Comparison of the two subpopulations revealed s…
Age-related patterns of urinary Gonadotropins (FSH and LH) and E-3-G as measures of reproductive function among Turkana Males of Northern Kenya
To determine age-related patterns of gonadotropins and their relationship to energetic status in a subsistence population we analyzed urinary FSH, LH, and estrone-3-glucuronide (E-3-G) along with anthropometric measures among Turkana males of northern Kenya. Subjects were 134 nomadic and 109 settled males ages 20 to 80+. FSH, LH and E-3-G were significantly higher among the settled, compared to nomadic, males. LH, but not FSH, showed a significan…
Urinary cortisol and muscle mass in Turkana men
To determine the role of cortisol in modulating the effects of energetics on muscle mass in a subsistence society, measures of cortisol and body composition were obtained from a sample of Turkana men. Subjects were 63 settled and 69 nomadic men, ages 24 and older. Urinary cortisol was determined along with measures of muscle mass. Cortisol/creatinine ratio was higher among nomadic men (57.8 +/- 56.8 vs. 34.5 +/- 44.6; P < 0.001). Controlled for a…
Pubertal timing, hormones, and body composition among adolescent Turkana males
The Turkana, like other East African pastoral groups, are known for their tall adult stature, achieved despite a blunted growth spurt during adolescence and continued growth into the early 20s. To investigate the hormonal mechanisms associated with the pattern of slow and continued adolescent growth, we collected data on hormonal status, height, weight, and trunk skinfolds and ethnographic self‐reports of testicular maturation in a cross‐sectiona…
Access to European Community Official Information
Amid rather less fanfare than one might perhaps have expected, the press, and, by extension, the public, of the European Union scored a modest victory for freer access to official information following the judgment of the Court of First Instance in the case of John Carvel & Guardian Newspapers Ltd ( Denmark, The Netherlands and the European Parliament intervening ) v. EU Council .' This case is the latest stage in an evolving policy of access to …
Energy reserves and parity of nomadic and settled Turkana women
Members of the Turkana tribe include settled and nomadic peoples who reside in the southern part of Turkana District in the semiarid region of northwest Kenya. Nomadic Ngisonyoka Turkana keep livestock (camels, cattle, sheep, goats, donkeys), subsist principally on livestock products, and move camps frequently in search of forage for the livestock; settled Turkana cultivate foods along the principal rivers. Both nomadic and settled Turkana are su…
Fertility in Traditional Societies
This chapter is a preliminary attempt to characterise reproductive patterns in traditional, pre-industrial societies, including huntergatherers, tribal horticulturalists and pastoralists and settled peasant agriculturalists. Assertions about the level of fertility in such societies have played a key role in the development of theoretical models in demography and anthropology and, more recently, in reproductive biology. In classic demographic tran…
"Excerpts from "Out of This the Sculptural Forms Come
A stone carver who originally trained as a painter, the author analyzes major tendencies in twentieth-century painting for their bearing on both modern sculpture and his own carvings. Campbell interprets his turning to sculpture as a natural outgrowth of this early work as a painter of geometric, hard-edge abstractions. He relates sculptural form in his carvings to such primitive elements as gravity, volume, weight, mass and color of individual s…

Demographic and endocrinological aspects of low natural fertility in highland New Guinea
The Gainj of highland Papua New Guinea do not use contraception but have a total fertility rate of only 4·3 live births per woman, one of the lowest ever recorded in a natural fertility setting. From an analysis of cross-sectional demographic and endocrinological data, the causes of low reproductive output have been identified in women of this population as: late menarche and marriage, a long interval between marriage and first birth, a high prob…
Lactation and birth spacing in highland New Guinea
The effects of infant suckling patterns on the post-partum resumption of ovulation and on birth-spacing are investigated among the Gainj of highland New Guinea. Based on hormonal evidence, the median duration of lactational anovulation is 20·4 months, accounting for about 75% of the median interval between live birth and next successful conception (i.e. resulting in live birth). Throughout lactation, suckling episodes are short and frequent, the …

Pubertal timing, hormones, and body composition among adolescent Turkana males
