Full textAbstract:
There is a vast anthropological/sociological literature on the use of folk healers in Hispanic (Mexican - American) communities. While the use of folk healers has decreased with urbanization, acculturation, and increased education, recent studies done in Dallas, Texas, show that elderly Hispanic women are familiar with, and use a variety of informal healing methods and substances for a variety of illnesses, both physical and mental. The folk-healing system is used to supplement the formal scientific one, rather than replace it. Informants seemed to have a clear idea about the point at which one or the other should be consulted. There are a variety of herbs readily available for use and sold in boticas or botanicas.

Full textAbstract:
War on Gaza since October 2023, presented a dire picture of the displaced children's situation, marked by psychological stress, health risks, educational disruption, and a profound impact on their physical, emotional, and cognitive development.This paper explores the criticality of sustaining learning and development for Gazan young people, particularly those displaced, amidst challenging environments such as war zones. And the primary aim of this study is to propose a construct to help develop and initial informal learning to help displaced not to miss learning opportunities.The researchers have taken into consideration the scenario of the ongoing conflict in Gaza and the Israeli occupation's increasing atrocities without seeing clear intentions for ceasefire. Then, the researchers propose a framework for informal learning that adapts to the realities of displacement and war, grounded in the concept of situated cognition. The constructs prioritize hands-on experiences and skills relevant to the displaced students' immediate context. It suggests a shift towards informal learning methods that foster cognitive reserve, resilience, and adaptability in children, utilizing play, storytelling, exploration, and cultural activities.The paper concludes by discussing the vital role of informal learning in maintaining the continuity of education for displaced children in Gaza. It argues for immediate educational interventions alongside long-term strategies for rebuilding the educational system, tailored to the complex needs of students in the recovery and healing phases. The study recognizes its limitations in addressing the potential of technology in informal learning, given the severe constraints of the situation in Gaza.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAlmost three decades after the collapse of the socialist system, numerous informal practices inherited from that period have remained deeply entrenched in the Croatian economy and society. Faced with burdensome regulations and complicated procedures, many citizens and companies opt to resolve their problems using string-pulling, bribery and undeclared work. However, there are many other informal means of conduct, which have not been given adequate attention so far. One of them is the practice of giving gratuity and gifts to medical practitioners for services that are already covered by health insurance, whose roots and the exact function are still not sufficiently understood. To start filling the gap, this paper explores which groups of citizens give out-of-pocket payments to doctors and nurses, as well as what motivates them to do so. The logistic regression analysis applied on data from the Special Eurobarometer Survey No 470, which was conducted in October 2017 on a stratified sample of 1,038 Croatians, reveals that these payments by no means represent a benevolent custom of expressing gratitude for healing. Even though a certain portion of citizens exercises this practice out of choice, informal payments more commonly occur following a direct request by medical staff or simply because the patient feels a pressure to do so. As revealed by the analysis, the majority of such transactions in Croatia highly resemble standard forms of bribery. In line with this, it is recipients rather than donors of gifts and cash supplements who should be targeted in endeavours to eradicate the phenomenon.

In 2015, a coalition of six Saskatoon community organizations (the Elizabeth Fry Society of Saskatchewan, AIDS Saskatoon, STR8 UP 10,000 Little Steps to Healing, Inc., the Mennonite Central Committee, the Micah Mission, and Community Legal Assistance Services for Saskatoon Inner City [CLASSIC])1 and a university researcher (Sarah Buhler from the University of Saskatchewan College of Law) came together to address the issue of telephone access in Saskatchewan’s provincial correctional centres. Together we established an informal research coalition that we called “Project Access.” The issue of telephone access in provincial prisons had been identified by the six community organizations through their ongoing work with prisoners and former prisoners. Specific concerns included the exorbitant costs of the prison telephone system and unfair and uneven application of policies regarding telephone access. As we met to discuss the issue, it became clear to us that in order to advocate effectively for changes to the system, we needed to research the issue and to learn more about the ways the current telephone access policies were being implemented in provincial prisons.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the sacred status of Thai Buddhist monks who have been engaging with the modern secular healthcare system, which also contrasts with their monastic traditions. It questions how modern medication has affected the sacred figure of Thai monks and what is their reaction to maintain their sacred status in such a secular space? Participant observations and informal interviews have been conducted, and data are conceptualized through the ideas of the birth of the clinic and biopower proposed by Michel Foucault. It finds that the traditional healing previously played by Thai monks has been challenged by modern medication eventually the monks also access the modern hospital. This phenomenon helps to change the idea of the cause of sickness, from demons to germs. This is interesting when some Buddhists request the monastic code-based healthcare system and monk patients’ zone. This paper argues that such an effort aims to maintain the sacred status of monks, who are perceived as holy persons and should not be seen by laypeople especially when they are in sickness, pain, and sorrow, which portray their ordinary human natures. Therefore, zoning management in the government hospital is needed to sacralize the monks’ status.

Full textAbstract:
The metanarrations about legal concern reached an increasing role in criticizing overcompensation cases. Litigation-adversarial system is perceived as too expensive for private and public finances. Someone underlined that emphasis on communication and voluntariness renders mediation more likely to resolve disputes. Today public apology is playing a positive role in policies centered on alternative-informal dispute resolution, due to a restorative justice model. A public gesture of apology by the wrongdoer could help to prevent litigation expecially in moral or punitive damages cases. The article suggests that a different narrative of facts by legal means can be achieved. Different legal meanings of public apology in eastern and western legal traditions are here investigated. According to a comparative analysis, the article focuses on different solutions issued by case law and legal transplants. It points out that the situation is very patchworked, although some jurisdictions have provided a specific legal framework for apologies. However, its proper legal effects could shift in a wide range of solutions depending on certain circumstances: shaming sanction, mitigating factor on damages assessment, admission against interests, moral redress, self-reputation healing. Some criticisms referred to each specific meaning are here underwrited. In particular, the threat about apologies as metanarrations enforced by Courts concerns: insincerity, rule of law violations, harm to freedom of expression, mediatic manipulation.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines one developing country's (Philippines) experience in legalizing the age-old but controversial practice and use of traditional, complementary, and alternative medicine (TCAM). The case studies in this article shed light on the problems, challenges, and opportunities offered by herbal therapies, natural products, and alternative healing methods, and the policy context in which they exist. The study finds that normative, axiological, and ethical considerations underlie the legitimacy of TCAM. These become critical when the scientific basis or validity of a therapy, product, or modality is at issue and political consensus is not readily available. The study suggests that both the objective and subjective aspects of TCAM be carefully evaluated in the process of integrating the informal and formal health care systems in developing countries. That, in turn, would require proactive regulatory and development-oriented roles on the part of their governments.

Full textAbstract:
Medicinal plants research in Asia continues to receive significant national and international attention, particularly concerning its multiple roles in poverty alleviation and health care support. However, scientific information on the institutional arrangements, the potentials of different medicinal plants production systems, and the utilization methods, remain highly fragmented. This incomprehensive information base shades the development of a comprehensive research agenda to improve the current body of knowledge, at least in the context of Asia. To address this impasse and propose future research perspectives, we systematically reviewed 247 journal articles, 15 institutional reports, and 28 book chapters. From the reviews, five key lessons are drawn: (i) Asian medicinal plant production systems demonstrate some dynamics, characterized by a gradual but continuous shift from wild gathering to cultivation, (ii) sub-regional variations exist with regards to the appreciation of medicinal plants potentials for traditional healing, modern healthcare and livelihoods support, (iii) knowledge on the effect of multi-scale institutional arrangements (formal and informal) on medicinal plant management practices is fragmented, (iv) very few studies dwell on the challenges of medicinal plants commercialization, particularly with regards to the role of middlemen, boom–bust cycle, raw material readiness, and product quality, and (v) law enforcement, benefit and knowledge sharing, and research and development should be prioritized to serve the interest of medicinal plants production actors. To further extend the body of knowledge on medicinal plants in Asia, we advance the need for empirical investigations on the performance of medicinal plants production systems and their contribution to livelihoods in diverse institutional contexts.

This qualitative study uses narrative inquiry (Connelly & Clandinin, 1988, 1990, 2001) and self-study to investigate ways to further understand and facilitate the integration of holistic philosophies of education with media literacy pedagogies. As founder and director of the Youth Media Literacy Project and a self-titled Imagitator (one who agitates imagination), I have spent over 10 years teaching media literacy in various high schools, universities, and community centres across North America. This study will focus on my own personal practical knowledge (Connelly & Clandinin, 1982) as a culture jammer, educator and cancer survivor to illustrate my original vision of a ‘holistic media literacy pedagogy’. This research reflects on the emergence and impact of holistic media literacy in my personal and professional life and also draws from relevant interdisciplinary literature to challenge and synthesize current insights and theories of media literacy, holistic education and culture jamming.

Full textAbstract:
In this groundbreaking book, experts show what a difference support systems—family, friends, community and social programs—can make towards the recovery of the millions of people who suffer a traumatic brain injury each year. Health and Healing after Traumatic Brain Injury: Understanding the Power of Family, Friends, Community, and Other Support Systems stresses the importance of an integrated and systems approach to healing. This book offers a unique combination of practitioner perspectives on what works for individual patients, consumer stories and learned insights over time, as well as researcher insights from innovative programs. It provides a holistic account of the important factors in living with a brain injury that will inform and benefit health practitioners and policy makers as well as people with brain injuries and their family members and friends. The chapters explore the current best evidence and contemporary views on healing that draw on optimism, aspirational living, and meaningful partnerships. The authors focus on the emergent area of the salutogenic experience of injury—how brain injury changes and shapes lives in positive ways—and on the variables within individuals and their environments that provide a supportive influence in long-term healing.

Full textAbstract:
Ilan Stavans has amassed a collection of cutting-edge articles that inform readers about how Latinos navigate both the mainstream medical arena and culturally specific healing traditions. This work highlights the myriad problems Latinos face in becoming fully acculturated consumers of health care. Its series of chapters by expert contributors bridges the communication gap between mainstream medical professionals who need to understand the Latino worldview and Latinos that need to adapt to the puzzling complexity of providers and insurers that make up the American health care system. Backed by research using quantitative methods and other techniques, Health Care's seven chapters cover topics ranging from infant care to teenage dating and sexual mores to prescription medication use by older adults. Much of the coverage focuses on problems of access and the ways in which Latinos move between mainstream health care, and the world of traditional remedies provided by bonicas (shops specializing in herbs and other healing items) and curanderos (folk healers).

Full textAbstract:
AbstractContemporary discussions of equity in planning for urban agriculture remains incomplete when decoupled from the history of racialized food systems in the United States. This chapter documents the decades-long experiences and practices of community-based food systems actors in the small southern city of Albany, Georgia. Through a case study of the Southwest Georgia Project for Community Education. a nonprofit organization that focuses on food systems and community empowerment, we explore the practices of community actors against a complex history of racial dispossession and discrimination that they resist and strive to transform. Community food actors engage in transformative work in order to improve the city’s food system and promote self-determination. The experiences of community actors in Albany, Georgia offer insights into Black people in the United States as producers of food and makers of place. Additionally, the example of Albany examines the potential for urban agriculture as a tool for racial justice, and offers a paradigm for local government public policy to support racial healing in deeply divided communities. The longer history of community-led food planning presented here illuminates the thin line between the past and the present and surfaces a restorative planning ethic, a planning framework that is simultaneously future-oriented and historically-informed and demands that planners engage with and enhance the self-determination of communities that act as storehouses of history and memory in order to acknowledge and account for past harms and wrongs.

This chapter focuses on the experiences of patients and their caregivers as they manage the network of relations, expectations, and desired outcomes wrapped up in enveloped care. Their stories illustrate how knowledge and beliefs about enveloped practices are transmitted, and how in that process envelopes have become imbued with both practical and symbolic efficacy. It considers the envelope as both a mechanism for coping with the limitations of biomedicine in Lithuania and a healing force that can have a direct effect on the body. The chapter discusses the dynamics that lead to “being caught” in the envelope, wherein patients and caregivers interpret all medical encounters through the lens of the envelope when they are “caught.” As the failure to eradicate the informal economy of envelopes illustrates, the health care system itself is caught in the envelope.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter, to better appreciate the nature of selfhood, approaches it from several angles. First, it is viewed as part of a system (systemized, i.e., the networked psyche as informed by a systems theory approach). Second, the self is investigated as a sequential, serialized, and narratizable entity. Third, the “staginess” of the self is introduced; this dramatized angle sets the groundwork for the role-self perspective (RSP) or how one performs scripts that give life to oneself. As there is no such thing as a completely socially detached role, selves are inherently theatrical and “multi-roled” within the context of social relations. In this sense, selves interlink an individual to family, friends, and wider social networks. RSP is grounded in the therapeutic centrality of gaining self-objectivity through distancing one’s observing “I” and observed “me”; this is achieved through role-playing. This chapter demonstrates the linkages between RSP, psychodrama, and positive psychology.

Abstract Correctional settings are analogous to neighborhoods. Neighborhood conditions are improved through community-development (capacity-expanding) efforts. The community-engagement approach offered in Chapter 8 aims to change the mix of healing and harm inside prison. The approach described is resident-centric and works with residents to create and sustain a neighborhood where residents and staff work together to reduce harm and to increase healing. Two case studies describe how community engagement could be used to transform the social environment of prisons and create a service delivery system with best value. Growing harm-informed and sensitive environments to support harm-recovery programs is feasible inside prisons if the environment is imbued with values, partnerships, and resources that socialize and support healing, recovery, and rehabilitation. Community empowerment is a way to build the capacity of prison communities to change their conditions and cultures toward healing and away from harm.

This chapter traces the origins and historical development of health psychology and community psychology. In particular, the goals and methods of these fields are critically examined in the background of an interpretive turn in social sciences. It is observed that promoting health and healing from the standpoint of the end-users utilizing multi-disciplinary approaches and innovative qualitative and quantitative methodologies constitute the state-of-the-art focus in these fields. In light of this shift in the goals and methodologies, this chapter offers a critical appraisal of the emerging research trends in the Indian setting. The chapter ends with an emphasis on incorporating culture through the use of qualitative or ethnographic studies and conceptualization of suffering and healing within a framework informed by indigenous scholarship present in Indian thought systems.

This chapter provides an in-depth analysis of the diverse consequences of gun violence within educational institutions, with a particular emphasis on the psychological distress endured by both students and communities. This study examines the emotional, psychological, and social ramifications, emphasizing coping mechanisms, strategies for developing resilience, and community healing initiatives. The critical nature of gun violence as a public health crisis is highlighted by the imperative for policymakers, educators, and community leaders to prioritize trauma-informed approaches. Through the promotion of policy reforms and the adoption of trauma-sensitive methodologies, it is possible to foster the development of secure and resilient communities that promote the recovery and flourishing of individuals.
