An indigenous community-led project in Nunavik
In the struggle for self-determination, Indigenous communities in Canada have been developing community-based health and social services to support family and community wellbeing. In the development of these initiatives, non-Indigenous actors, are sometimes involved. These relationships cannot be dissociated from coloniality and colonial history, yet the specific influences of external support on the development of Indigenous-led community-based …
Building partnerships for linking biomedical science with traditional knowledge of customary medicines
BackgroundCustomary medicine of Australia's Indigenous peoples draws upon knowledge developed through millennia of interaction with Australia's unique flora and fauna. Many Indigenous Australians are interested in developing modern medicinal and commercial translations of traditional knowledge; however, barriers of trust and benefit sharing often thwart progress.MethodsUsing a participatory action research framework, university researchers collab…
Women’s Understanding of the Term ‘Pap Smear’
Appealing to Altruism is Not Enough
This pilot study sought to identify motivators and barriers to participating in a longitudinal survey; we interviewed patients and practitioners at a multidisciplinary primary care clinic where the proposed project would be based. While altruism motivates participation in medical research, we found that for many potential participants, the opportunity to benefit directly was the primary, and sometimes the only motive to participate or encourage p…
Pap Smear Screening Among Women ≥40 years Residing at the United States–Mexico Border
Invasive cervical cancer is a preventable disease due to screening for precursor lesions using the Papanicolaou cytological testing (Pap smear). Participants were assessed regarding their access to and utilization of health care services, prevention orientation, history of chronic disease screening, and reproductive health history. Factors independently positively associated with Pap smear screening were age, clinical breast exam (CBE) in the las…
Bereavement
A bereavement ritual observed during anthropological fieldwork in Peru gives basis to this article which asserts that bereavement has become an incomplete rite of passage. The article reviews the role of ritual and rites of passage, examines other anthropologic examples of death and bereavement rituals, and identifies the lack of post-funeral ritual for many bereaved individuals in the United States. While funerary rituals which end with the fune…
Mathematics and the Real World
It has been suggested that perception of mathematics as an academic exercise divorced from reality increases as children progress through school. The present study explores this suggestion with respect to primary school pupils; 144 pupils aged between 6 and 10 years, at four primary schools, were interviewed and asked for examples of everyday uses for familiar mathematical operations. Approximately 60% of suggestions were related to ordinary ever…
