Making Sense of Memorable Messages About Infertility
Fertility problems, often called infertility, have been defined as the inability to conceive or maintain pregnancy throughout one year of trying (World Health Organization, 2020). Because fertility problems can present unique medical, emotional, relational, and identity challenges, they are often difficult to talk about, and even well-intentioned messages can be perceived negatively. This study uses Communicated Sense-Making (CSM; Kellas & Kranst…

Developing a family engagement plan for Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander STEM students in higher education
This paper reviews and critiques the literature on family engagement programmes in higher education, from the perspective of issues that may affect the design of programmes serving Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander students and their families. While there is compelling research suggesting that increasing students' family members' engagement with higher education will benefit students, it is unclear whether the concept of family engagement as i…
Medicine in motion
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Traditional pharmacopeias have been developed by multiple cultures and evaluated for efficacy and safety through both historical/empirical iteration and more recently through controlled studies using Western scientific paradigms and an increasing emphasis on data science methodologies for network pharmacology. Traditional medicines represent likely sources of relatively inexpensive drugs for symptomatic management …
Communicated perspective-taking (CPT) and storylistening
Grounded in communicated narrative sense-making theory (CNSM), the purpose of the current study was to test the effects of storylisteners' communicated perspective taking (CPT) on storytellers' well-being and evaluations of storylisteners' communication skills in the context of telling stories about difficulty. Pairs of friends ( n = 37) engaged in a storytelling interaction in which one person told a story of a difficult life experience (DLE). L…
Response to Comments by Daniel Gebregiorgis et al. “A Brief Commentary on the Interpretation of Chinese Speleothem δ18O Records as Summer Monsoon Intensity Tracers”. Quaternary 2020, 3, 7

Listening to the Voices of Community Health Workers
Community Health Workers (CHWs) are often incorporated into efforts to reduce health disparities for vulnerable populations. However, their voices are rarely the focus of research when considering how to increase their job effectiveness and sustainability. The current study addresses this gap by privileging the voices of 28 CHWs who work with Latinx communities in Nebraska through in-depth, semistructured interviews. Using a multilevel, Culture-C…
The Asian Summer Monsoon
Asian summer monsoon (ASM) variability significantly affects hydro-climate, and thus socio-economics, in the East Asian region, where nearly one-third of the global population resides. Over the last two decades, speleothem δ18O records from China have been utilized to reconstruct ASM variability and its underlying forcing mechanisms on orbital to seasonal timescales. Here, we use the Speleothem Isotopes Synthesis and Analysis database (SISAL_v1) …

Migration and mobility in a rapidly changing small town in northeastern Ethiopia
This paper presents empirical material collected in the zonal capital town of kemise (population around 34,000) and three surrounding rural areas (peasant associations) in northeastern ethiopia. The study area is located in the oromiya zone of the large amhara region. The paper attempts to show how rural areas and the town of kemise are economically interdependent and demonstrates the role of migration and mobility in influencing and shaping the …
Tradition and toxicity
This paper examines the debate about the safety of kava (Piper methysticum Forst. f, Piperaceae), a plant native to Oceania, where it has a long history of traditional use. Kava became popular as an anti-anxiety treatment in Western countries in the late 1990s, but it was subsequently banned in many places due to adverse reports of liver toxicity. This paper focuses on the responses to the bans by scientists involved in kava research, contrasting…
Changing life worlds and contested space
Dans cette communication, nous aborderons principalement le groupe ethnique Iraqw localisé dans le Nord de la Tanzanie. La discussion sera axée sur une pratique culturelle dénommée meeta qui fait référence à une série de pratiques d'isolation employées par les Iraqw. Cette communication mettra en évidence la façon dont meeta peut être comprise dans une perspective occidentale et perçue comme un acte de violence sociale. D'un autre côté, la commun…
Poverty and wealth at the rural-urban interface
Poverty and wealth at the rural–urban interface
This paper describes the town of Mbulu, a district headquarters, and its interaction with its surrounds, especially with three villages selected for study. Despite Mbulu’s small size (around 6,400 inhabitants), it performs a number of vital central place functions, reinforced by decentralization reforms that are transferring more funding, authority and decision-making to district governments, and serves the varied needs of a large and dispersed r…
Associational Life in African Cities
The book edited by Tostensen, Tvedten and Vaa comprises 17 chapters including a comprehensive introduction by the three editors. The main thrust of the book is to analyse the great range of voluntary associations which have emerged in urban Africa in response to the urban crisis. Many of the contributions also point to the general inability and incompetence of urban governments, both at the local and central levels, to address the urban problem. …

The Migration Experience in Africa
In this book different authors investigates the range of the migration experience in Africa. Because of the variety and complexity of the reasons which surround and underpin why African populations are so mobile, this volume adopts an eclectic approach which illustrates the diversity of theoretical positions, as well as methodological and analytical trends. Examples of the great breadth and richness of empirical insights into human migrations in …
Survival and accumulation strategies at the rural-urban interface in north-west Tanzania
This paper presents empirical material collected in the small town of Biharamulo (population 20,000) and four surrounding villages in 1993. The study area is located in the Kagera Region of north-west Tanzania. The paper attempts to demonstrate how rural areas and small urban centres are economically interdependent. Biharamulo is a district headquarter town and fulfils, inter alia, important administrative, marketing, service and retailing functi…

Oil and African Development
The growth of exploration for oil in Africa has been phenomenal. Until the late 1950s the continent was considered to be devoid of any large hydrocarbon deposits; indeed, in 1957 the total production of oil amounted to only 2·7 million metric tons, or 0·3 per cent of the entire world output. Since then, however, the rate of growth has been very rapid, and by 1976 had reached 279·5 million metric tons, accounting for 9·8 per cent of world producti…
