Gendered experiences of physical and mental health and occupational heat exposure among agricultural workers in the United States
Agricultural workers regularly experience extreme temperatures in occupational settings. Heat exposure is tied to numerous negative physical and mental health symptoms, which may differ depending on identity, behavior, and context. We sought to identify common symptoms among agricultural workers in the United States and explore behavioral, occupational, and structural factors in heat-related physical and mental health, with an emphasis on gender …
Heat-related illness symptoms and mental health in Florida farmworkers
Background Farmworkers face disproportionate occupational heat exposure and high rates of heat-related illness (HRI), and emerging evidence suggests associations between heat exposure and adverse mental health outcomes. Objective This exploratory pilot study aimed to (1) characterize the burden of depression, anxiety, and climate change psychological distress among Florida farmworkers relative to national benchmarks, (2) explore cross-sectional a…
Comunicación desde un abordaje post-darwiniano. articulaciones actuales entre ética y zoosemiótica
A partir de los desarrollos de Thomas Sebeok, la zoosemiótica se ha establecido en los últimos años como una disciplina muy visitada por su novedoso abordaje del vínculo entre las características de la comunicación de los seres humanos y los animales no humanos, así como también se ha revelado como un enfoque crítico de los supuestos antropocéntricos tras la idea de limitar el análisis de la semiosis al lenguaje humano. Este enfoque ha explicitad…
Medio ambiente, medios de comunicación y psicología moral. Sobre el potencial de la convergencia disciplinaria en una bioética animal post-pandemia
Desde los primeros meses de la pandemia de COVID-19 ha estado aconteciendo un llamativo fenómeno social: en diversos lugares del mundo grupos de personas procedieron a ahuyentar y/o exterminar colonias de murciélagos, suponiendo que dicha acción contribuiría a evitar posibles contagios cuando en realidad lo que hacía era empeorar la situación. Con el fin de analizar en profundidad este tipo de fenómenos sociales es necesario recurrir a disciplina…
Más allá de los márgenes: Sobre el potencial ético-político del “fuera de campo” para repensar la narrativa periodística audiovisual
En este artículo se analiza la posibilidad de hallar en una particular herramienta del lenguaje audiovisual, el “fuera de campo”, características compositivas que podrían favorecer la producción de narrativas periodísticas en las que el aspecto ético-político de lo representado sea priorizado ante el estético. Dichas características resultan especialmente relevantes en un contexto en el cual el paradigma de la post-verdad en los medios masivos de…
Pain in the Acute Aftermath of Stalking: Associations With Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms, Depressive Symptoms, and Posttraumatic Cognitions
This longitudinal study examined whether posttraumatic stress and depressive symptoms, posttraumatic cognitions, and ongoing cyberstalking exposures were independently associated with changes in pain outcomes among 82 young adult women with recent exposure to stalking. Multilevel models indicated that higher sensory pain intensity and pain-related interference were associated with more negative cognitions about the self. Higher affective pain int…
Lockdown: Applied Anthropology and the Study of Campus Emergencies
In October 2009, a large public university in central Florida experienced a "lockdown" in response to a reported bomb at the campus library and two other threats. We conducted an anthropological study of how students perceived the university administration's response to these incidents. This study addresses the gaps in our understanding of university campus emergencies. We studied the situated vulnerabilities of students in different parts of the…
Using a Biocultural Approach to Examine Food Insecurity in the Context of Economic Transformations in Rural Costa Rica
This article outlines a biocultural approach that employs a mixed-methods research design to the study of food insecurity in the context of economic transformations in the Monteverde Zone (MVZ), Costa Rica. Using structured survey data related to household (n= 200) and individual level variables as well as on anthropometric measurements, linear regression analyses were run in order to try to predict food insecurity based on biological and cultura…
Obesity, Hypertension, and Migration: A Meta-Analysis of Populations of the South Asian Diaspora
The effects of migration on human health have been a topic of interest for demographers and human biologists. Even if migrants to a new region achieve a higher standard of living in their new place of residence, their improved living conditions may not be associated with better health. Part of the difficulty of understanding the health consequences of migration is the complications in trying to control for variables that may affect health, such a…
The impact of a 100% smoke-free law on the health of hospitality workers from the city of Neuquén, Argentina
Consistent with other studies, 100% smoke-free legislation improved short-term health outcomes in the sample and should be implemented nationwide. Furthermore, undertaking this study has been highly important in promoting 100% smoke-free environment legislation at the workplace as a legitimate right of hospitality workers, and in reducing social acceptance of designated smoking areas in bars and restaurants
Indentured migration and differential gender gene flow: The origin and evolution of the East‐Indian community of Limón, Costa Rica
After the emancipation of African slaves in the Caribbean, the labor void left by out‐migrating former slaves was filled by in‐migrating indentured servants from prepartition India and China. In some areas of the Caribbean such as Trinidad, Suriname, and Guyana, the East‐Indian migrants formed large communities. In this article, we report a study based on mtDNA and Y‐chromosomal markers of a small East‐Indian community from Limón, Costa Rica. The…
