Low Back Pain in the Surinamese Kalinya Indigenous Community of Galibi
Low back pain (LBP) is a significant public health issue globally, with a particularly high burden among Indigenous Peoples, who often face unique challenges in accessing effective healthcare. This study builds on previous research conducted in a rural Kalinya Indigenous community in Suriname by validating and triangulating findings related to the causes, impact, and care-seeking behaviors associated with LBP. Through elite interviews and revisit…

Breaking monologues in collaborative research
The urgent need to address the sustainability issues of the Anthropocene requires a dialogue capable of bridging different knowledge systems, values, and interests. This dialogue is considered one of the most crucial challenges in collaborative research approaches. With this research, we seek to break with monologues in collaborative research by offering a decolonising methodological approach that combines the notion of dialogue of wisdom, commun…
Reducing albinism related stigma in Tanzania
Reducing stigma is key to improving the wellbeing of people with albinism in Tanzania. This study aimed to obtain more insight into the effects of two radio interventions with regard to albinism-related stigma: a radio drama and a radio interview. Assessment of the radio interventions was based on two attitude measurement instruments (The Albinism Explanatory Model Interview Catalogue Community Stigma Scale and the Albinism Social Distance Scale)…
Community resilience 2.0
Resilience theory provides an applicable framework for studying how systems cope, adapt or transform in face of exogenous disruptions. We attempt to develop a comprehensive conception of community-level resilience; we propose a combination (i.e. social-ecological resilience, community resilience) of characteristics of systems-centered (e.g. structure, embeddedness in larger spatial and temporal scales) and components-centered conceptions of resil…
Reconstituting the role of indigenous structures in protected forest management in Cameroon
Participatory integrated coastal zone management in Vietnam
Sustainable management processes have undergone a shift from a top-down approach to a bottom-up approach. This bottom-up approach allows for a more apprehensive inclusion of stakeholders. In traditional hierarchical societies a combination of both is considered more desirable. This combination is described as a participatory approach that allows for bi-directional knowledge sharing. The question asked is whether this theoretical approach is viabl…
Theorising the relationship between older people and their immediate social living environment
This article presents a theoretical framework for exploring the dynamics between older people and their immediate social living environment. After introducing a gerontological perspective that goes beyond microfication, a literature review presents findings from studies that have explored the role of place and locality for older people. Next, this contribution seeks to broaden the conceptual field by introducing key dimensions of the relationship…
