Purpose Authenticity has emerged as a prevailing purchase criterion that seems to include both real and stylised versions of the truth. The purpose of this paper is to address the negotiation of authenticity by examining the means by which costume designers draw on cues such as historical correctness and imagination to authenticate re-enactments of historical epochs in cinematic artwork. Design/methodology/approach To understand and analyse how different epochs were re-enacted required interviewing costume designers who have brought reimagined epochs into being. The questions were aimed towards acknowledging the socio-cultural circulation of images that practitioners draw from in order to project authenticity. This study was conducted during a seven-week internship at a costume store called Independent Costume in Stockholm as part of a doctoral course in cultural production. Findings Authenticity could be found in citations that neither had nor resembled something with an indexical link to the original referent as long as the audience could make a connection to the historical epoch sought to re-enact. As such, it would seem that imagination and historical correctness interplay in impressions of authenticity. Findings suggest that performances of authentication are influenced by socially instituted discursive practices (i.e. jargons) and collective imagination. Originality/value This paper contributes to the literature on social and performative aspects of authentication as well as its implications for brands in the arts and culture sector.

Full textAbstract:
The article, based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, studies the process of the disintegration of the traditional system of peasant costume in the 20th century in Hungary in the backdrop of its socio-historic context. There is a focused attention on the period during socialism from the late 1940s to the end of the Kádár era, also called Gulyás communism. In the examined period, the wearing and abandonment of folk costume in local peasant communities was primarily characteristic of women and an important part of women’s competence and decision-making. There was an age group that experienced the dichotomy of peasant heritage and the realities of socialist modernisation as a challenge in their own lifetime – which they considered a great watershed. The author interviewed both the last stewards of tradition who continued wearing costume for the rest of their lives and those who pioneered and implemented changes and abandoned peasant costume in favor of urban dress. The liminal period of change, the character and logic of the processes and motivations behind decision-making were still accessible in memory, and current dressing practices and the folklorism phenomena of the “afterlife” of costume could still be studied in real life. The study shows that costume was the focus point of women’s aspirations, attention, and life organization, and how the life paths of strong female personalities were articulated around clothing. It also reveals that there was a high level of self-awareness and strong emotional attachment in individual relationships to clothing in the rural context, similar to – or perhaps even exceeding – the fashion-conscious, individualized urban context. Examining the role of fashion, modernization, and individual decisions and attitudes in traditional clothing systems is an approach that bridges the mostly distinct study of folk costume and the problematics of dress and fashion history research.

Language is an essential part of communication – it forms culture and provides it with transferring of social knowledge. Language, culture and communication are inseparable from each other and are the basis of human existence. Thorough approach to everyday life practices makes it possible to reveal their sign character and define them as specific language systems which give clear vision of aesthetic, ethical etc. peculiarities of a given epoch. Travel notes are an essential resource of our knowledge about everyday life of the nation. They offer us rich material about people, their appearance, historic events etc. Among other details travel notes contain a lot of interesting data about costume which can be regarded as a special sign system, language of culture, delivering information not only about its owner, but the whole epoch as well. The paper chose as an example the travel notes “Frigate Pallade” by I. A. Goncharov. In one of its chapters costume becomes an original communicative code for intercultural interaction.

Daur is the typical northern minority in China; its male traditional costume has a generous appearance and clear line, which reflects a heroic and simple characteristic. There are many factors that influence formation of Daur male traditional costume culture: natural and geographical environment, social and economic conditions, production method and life style, religious belief, cultural exchange, etc. These factors are reflected in costume directly or indirectly to form the unique style of Daur male costume. These characteristics should be inherited and innovated, and become the ethnic symbol of modern Daur male costume.

Full textAbstract:
The traditional folk costume of the Romanian peasant is one of the identity marks specific to us as a people. This costume has both common elements and elements of distinction from one geographical area to the other. Nasaud region has succeeded to preserve the traditional costume almost the same as a hundred years ago. The economic life in the villages around Nasaud, the specific life, the piedmont and mountain climate, the existence of the military border for almost a hundred of years and the material needs specific to the peasant-soldiers were the factors that influenced the way of making the traditional costume. The Austrian military border had long term effects on the inhabitants’ evolution, on their emancipation, and it imposed in the inhabitants’ conscience the preservation of local traditions and the assertion of the national identity at the linguistic, literary, social, cultural, folkloric level.

Council House Movie Star (2012) originally started as a film enquiry exploring what happens when drag queens age, both off stage and onstage. The research expanded to include two further practice projects: an immersive gallery installation of a life-size council house and a fine art exhibition of the naked and costumed drag body. This article examines the quotidian experiences of a white working-class drag hero/ine and the costumed genderqueered skin. It discusses the queer costume of drag queens, including make-up and wigs. The article also explores the position of memory within the formation of costume for performance as a major theme within the creative processes and design of this project. This visual essay narrates the positioning of drag queens within the social realities of working-class life, thus producing an interesting contrast between the costume of chavs, B-boys and contemporary youth, against the queer and camp drag costume.

Full textAbstract:
Objectives To develop an alcohol intervention model that predicts life years (LYs), quality adjusted life years (QALYs), and healthcare costs classified by the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT) screening tool and other various risk factors related to alcohol consumption. Furthermore, the developed model was transferred to the Thai setting. Methods Eight Scottish Health Surveys from 1995-2012 were linked to Scottish morbidity records and death records for the period 1981 to the end of 2013. Parametric survival analysis was used to estimate the hazard risks of first alcohol-related and non-alcohol related hospitalisations and deaths. For men and women, multivariate data analyses were applied separately for each gender in modelling the utility score, risks of subsequent hospitalisation and annual healthcare costs within the follow-up period. Risk profiles were used for the covariates of the models as follows: age, socio-economic status, health condition, alcohol drinking (i.e. AUDIT and binge drinking), smoking, body mass index, and physical activity. According to the under-reporting bias of alcohol consumption among the survey population, this study adjusted the reported alcohol consumption using alcohol sales data. Multiple imputation approach was applied to deal with missing data. A health-state transition model with annual cycle length was developed to predict LYs, QALYs, lifetime costs, and cost-effectiveness. Probabilistic sensitivity analysis was also performed to deal with parameter uncertainty. Moreover, a methodological transferability protocol of the Thai study was detailed. Results The sample size of the cohort was 46,230. The developed model showed the association between drinking and alcohol-related and non-alcohol related hospitalisations and deaths which were calculated as LYs and QALYs. Other risk factors were also taken into account that would likely affect the outcomes of interest. The modelling showed that an increasing AUDIT score and the number of cigarettes per day were associated with an increased risk of first alcohol-attributable hospitalisation. Predicted outcomes for a male aged 30 year with high-risk drinking levels (AUDIT >7) were worse than males with low risk drinking (AUDIT ≤7), with approximately 5 LY gained and 7 QALY gained. The same results for females were obtained for high-risk drinking (AUDIT >4) compared to low-risk drinking (AUDIT ≤4), with approximately 10 LY gained and 12 QALY gained. Furthermore, an economic evaluation was performed to compare the no-intervention situation with a hypothetical health promotion intervention - which aimed to stop drinking (measured by the AUDIT) and smoking (measured by the number of cigarettes per day) behaviours. To compare the costs and benefits of the hypothetical intervention and no intervention over the lifetime period, a within-trial analysis combined with the developed model was able to capture both short- and longer-term consequences (i.e. LYs, QALYs, and healthcare costs) of the intervention. Finally, the model was able to compare cost-effectiveness ratio between risk behaviours without the new intervention and the modified risk behaviours when the new intervention is implemented. Conclusions The study highlights the potential and importance of developing health economic models utilising data from routine national health surveys linked to national hospitalisation and death records. The developed framework can be used for further economic evaluation of alcohol interventions and other health behaviour change interventions. The framework can further be transferred to other country settings.

Full textAbstract:
The main objective of this project is to investigate the costs and environmental impacts generated at the use phase of the machine tools. Machine tools are essential elements for the manufacturing sector. Cost estimation model has been developed based on previous studies. The cost model has 6 main groups: Energy, consumables, resources, waste, space and labour costs parameters. The importance of the use phase in the whole life cycle is underlined. This is related to the high energy consumptions of the machine. Therefore, special attention has been paid to the electricity consumption, developing an accurate model with a life cycle view: Apart from cutting energy, auxiliary machinery and stand-by situations has been defined in this model. The environmental impact analysis has been divided into material, use, disposal and transport categories, with special focus on consumables (cutting fluids, filters, cutting tools and lubricant oil) and energy consumption for the using phase. A LCA analysis in EcoScan software has been carried out with a real example: The FS-8000 milling machine. The analysis has confirmed that impacts related to the high electricity consumption during using phase are the most important burdens with almost 70% of the total impact. This is follow by hazardous oil disposal (13.9%), cutting tools (7.7%) and transport (6.6%). Last, a sensitivity study for environmental impacts has been conducted. The correlations between parameters have revealed that although the impact ranking determined from the EcoScan analysis is appropriate, there are some deviations when parameter variability is taken into account. Therefore, the report suggest conducting a sensitivity study along with the LCA for more precise results.www.ima.kth.se

INTRODUÇÃO. O uso abusivo de álcool impõe alto custo econômico à sociedade O seu consumo está relacionado a importantes conseqüências adversas, como situações de intoxicação, a própria dependência, acidentes de carro, episódios de violência e outros. JUSTIFICATIVA. A discussão sobre o custo social do uso do álcool se mostra pertinente no Brasil, visto que seu impacto perpassa o acometimento apenas do paciente, mas também de outras esferas sociais onde este sujeito está inserido. OBJETIVOS. Estimar o custo social, ou seja, os custos direto (internações e atendimentos ambulatoriais) e indireto (mortalidade e incapacidade) das principais doenças diretamente relacionadas ao uso do álcool dependência ao álcool, cardiomiopatia alcoólica, gastrite alcoólica, doença alcoólica do fígado, pancreatite crônica induzida por álcool e síndrome alcoólica fetal no Brasil no ano de 2007. MATERIAL E MÉTODO. Trata-se de um estudo do tipo exploratório, descritivo e transversal. Foram considerados o total de internações, de atendimentos ambulatoriais e de registros de mortalidade hospitalar relativos às doenças diagnosticadas como causas diretas do abuso do álcool no Brasil no ano de 2007. Todos os dados foram coletados junto ao DATASUS (Departamento de Informática do SUS). O cálculo do custo social foi realizado a partir dos Anos de Vida Perdidos por Mortalidade e Incapacidade, multiplicados pelo valor do rendimento médio mensal de todos os trabalhos assalariados no Brasil, calculado por sexo e nível de escolaridade. RESULTADOS. O valor do Custo Social do uso do álcool no Brasil no ano de 2007 foi de R$8.562.680.331,00. Na formação desse valor, 79,67% corresponderam aos custos que ocorreram na população masculina. Nas regiões Norte, Nordeste, Centro-Oeste, Sudeste e Sul, os valores foram, respectivamente, R$255.097.103,00; R$1.025.139.711,00; R$935.799.783,00; R$4.829.791.323,00 e R$1.931.717.630,00. DISCUSSÃO. Na maioria dos diagnósticos, o maior valor do custo social encontra-se entre os anos 40-49, faixa etária de maior participação no mercado de trabalho brasileiro. Ou seja, os brasileiros que estão sofrendo os agravos do uso do álcool, ocasionando o maior impacto socioeconômico, são aqueles que, em tese, deveriam compor o grupo de pessoas da população economicamente ativa, contribuindo para o enriquecimento do país. A região Sul é a terceira maior em termos populacionais, a segunda de maior valor do custo social e a primeira com o maior percentual de padrão de consumo problemático, demonstrando que há uma relação direta entre o padrão de consumo de álcool e o impacto socioeconômico gerado pelo seu uso, uma vez que essa região, mesmo sendo a terceira mais populosa, assume o segundo lugar em termos de custo, já que é a região de maior prevalência de bebedores problemáticos. CONCLUSÃO. Os dados apresentados demonstram a necessidade de se investir em ações de prevenção e tratamento dirigidas a públicos distintos, como a população masculina, economicamente ativa e os residentes da região Sul do país. Porém, são apenas estimativas, tendo a necessidade de serem ampliados de modo a considerar todas as conseqüências advindas desse uso e que geram ônus ao país, para que seja possível promover subsídios concretos para a devida elaboração de políticas públicas, baseadas em evidências científicas para o benefício de todosAlcohol abuse imposes high economical cost to society. It´s use is related to important adverse consequences such as intoxication, dependence, car accidents, violence episodes and others. MEAN. The debate around the social cost regarding alcohol consumption has been prove to be relevant in Brazil since it´s impact goes beyond the patient himself, but is also involved in other social spheres where he belongs. OBJECTIVE. To assess the social costs, direct (internments and outpatient appointments) and indirect (mortality and incapacity), of the main diseases related to alcohol consumption alcohol dependence, alcoholic cardiomiopathy, alcoholic gastrititis, alcoholic disease of the liver, chronic pancreatitis induced by alcohol and fetal alcoholic syndrome in Brazil in the year of 2007. MATERIAL AND METHOD. This is an exploratory, descriptive and transversal study. In this study we considered the total number of internments, of outpatient appointments, and of registrations of mortality related to diseases diagnosed as the cause of alcohol abuse that occurred in Brazil in 2007. All data were collected at DATASUS (Department of Computer Science of SUS). The calculation of the social costs was accomplished by multiplying the Disability Adjusted Life Years with the value of monthly medium income of all salaried works in Brazil, considering gender and education level. RESULTS. The total value of the social costs caused by alcohol consumption in Brazil in 2007 was R$8.562.680.331,00. 79,67% of this value corresponded to the male population. In the North, Northeast, Center-West, Southeast and South region, the values were R$255.097.103,00; R$1.025.139.711,00; R$935.799.783,00; R$4.829.791.323,00 and R$1.931.717.630,00 respectively. DISCUSSION. The majority of the diagnoses revealed that the biggest value of social costs is among people between 40 and 49 years old. People in this age group have the largest participation in the Brazilian job market. In other words, the Brazilians who suffer the worst effects of alcohol consumption are those who are part of the economically active population, therefore causing the largest socioeconomic impact. South region has the third largest population, second in value of social cost and first in prevalence of problematic alcohol consumption. This observation demonstrates that there is a direct relationship between the pattern of alcohol consumption and the socioeconomic impact by it´s use. Because the South region has the biggest prevalence of problematic drinkers, it stands as the second place in terms of social costs, even being the third most populous region. CONCLUSION. The present data demonstrates the need to invest in prevention and treatment directed to different targets: the economically active male population, and the residents of the South region of the country. Although we have presented here interesting estimates, further studies need to be made in order to become possible to promote concrete subsidies for the elaboration of public policy for the benefit of the whole country

El objetivo de esta tesis es, por un lado, conocer, comprender y visibilizar una creciente y significativa comunidad sikh que desde hace décadas habita en Barcelona y, por otro, analizar los cambios y las modificaciones en el cuerpo y la corporalidad como necesarios o pertinentes para la inserción y adaptación en un contexto nuevo tras el proceso migratorio.
Dadas las particulares características del grupo de estudio, una comunidad en la que determinada corporalidad es en gran medida un elemento significante de su adscripción religiosa, en este trabajo se ha tratado de observar y analizar las transformaciones y las continuidades en el cuerpo y la corporalidad como parte del proceso de adaptación de los individuos sikhs inmigrados que habitan Barcelona. Para ello se parte de la idea del cuerpo —y por extensión la corporalidad-, como elemento a disposición de los individuos y grupos, a veces mediatizado por el contexto en el que habitan, pero también como lugar para la agencia; imbuido de ideologías político-religiosas, que pueden ser corporalizadas, pero también susceptible de ser negociadas en función de las coyunturas. Para el desarrollo de la investigación se ha llevado a cabo trabajo de campo etnográfico durante más de 18 meses mediante etnografía multisituada donde Barcelona, Londres, Delhi y el Panyab han sido lugares para el trabajo.The aim of this doctoral thesis is, on the one hand, to know, understand and visibilize a significant and rising Sikh community that has been living in Barcelona for decades. On the other hand, it analyses the body modifications and the changes in corporeality which are necessaries and relevant for the insertion and adaptation in a new context after the migration process. Corporeality is a significant symbol of religious adscription therefore in this research we have observed and analyzed changes and continuities of the body and corporeality as part of the adaptation process of immigrant Sikhs inhabiting Barcelona. In this way, we start from the premise that bodies -and by extension the corporealities too- are elements at the disposal of individuals and groups that sometimes are determined by the context in which they live, but they are also a place for agency. Bodies are imbued with political and religious ideologies which can be explicitly embodied, but they are also capable of being negotiated depending on the circumstances. For this research I have done multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork for an eighteen-month period in Barcelona, London, Delhi and Punjab.

Full textAbstract:
Nosso estudo visa a compreender as Representações Sociais do Kanaimî, do Piya san e
do Tarenpokon no povo Macuxi, nas Malocas do Canta Galo e de Maturuca, localizadas na região
Nordeste de Roraima. Objetivou aprofundar as ideias que os índios dessas localidades possuem sobre
esses personagens da cultura, a fim de apresentar seus significados e relacioná-los à religiosidade. A
pesquisa inicial foi bibliográfica, visando a observar como entendiam o Kanaimî, o Piyasan e o
Tarenpokon no passado. Realizaram-se entrevistas que serviram de suporte na verificação das
representações na atualidade, além das análises tendo como referência a teoria da representação social.
O Kanaimî, como personagem espiritual e protagonizador de constantes ataques violentos, manifesta-
se e promove terror aos índios. Isso faz com que os índios realizem uma série de rituais visando a
afastá-los de seus caminhos. O Piyasan, como curador da saúde e de diversos problemas espirituais
dos indígenas Macuxi, medeia a solução desses problemas junto aos entes espirituais o máximo
possível. O Tarenpokon, também como curador com capacidade de proporcionar a saúde, realiza
sessões de rezas que agem sobre os diversos bichos, para afastá-los ou convencê-los a curar as
pessoas. Procuramos relacionar essas explicações com a cosmovisão dos Macuxi para entendermos
suas manifestações religiosas. Tomamos como base os estudos históricos e socioantropológicos de
aspectos religiosos existentes sobre os Macuxi que estão relacionados aos personagens Kanaimî,
Piyasan e Tarenpokon ampliando suas representações sociais e especificando os significados que
possuemOur study aims to understand the social representations of Kanaimî, the shaman and the people Tarenpokon Macuxi, in Canta's Galo and Maturuca's Villages, located in northeastern Roraima. Aimed to deepen the ideas that the Indians of these places have these characters on the culture in order to make their meaning and relate them to the religion. The initial research was literature in order to observe how the Kanaimî understood, and the shaman Tarenpokon in the past. We conduct interviews, which were used to support the verification of representations today, and analysis with reference to the theory of social representation. The Kanaimî, spiritual and starring as a character constant violent attacks, manifests and promotes terror to Indians. This causes the Indians to perform a series of rituals in order to keep them away from their paths. The shaman, as a trustee for many health and spiritual problems of the indigenous Macuxi, media to solve these problems together with the spiritual beings as possible.

Resumo: Essa pesquisa teve como objeto a obra Usos e Costumes dos Bantos, escrita em 1913 pelo missionário e etnógrafo suíço Henri Junod (18631934). Seu trabalho etnográfico no sul de Moçambique, particularmente com o estudo do costumes do que foi denominado grupo "tsonga", teve relevância em vários temas do debate antropológico. Porém a historiografia da disciplina se restringiu, majoritariamente, ao seu argumento sobre parentesco e evolução social exposto pelo texto basilar de Radcliffe-Brown "O irmão da mãe na África Austral". Nessa pesquisa buscou-se explorar outras contribuições etnográficas do autor, a partir de uma leitura detalhada de sua principal obra. Para isso, outros escritos, e versões da mesma obra, foram incluídos no estudo a fim de aprofundar nas idéias do autor. Dessa forma, a pesquisa apresenta contribuições de Junod sobre temas como linhagem, ritos de passagem. sistemas de casamento e sobre a relação entre norma social e comportamento. Apresenta-se também um breve estudo sobre a trajetória de Junod e a relação com sua obra. O olhar da historiografia da antropologia dirigido à obra de Junod a partir do debate estabelecido com Radcliffe-Brown relegou o pensamento de Junod à matriz evolucionista. Porém, com essa pesquisa, mostra-se que há outros pontos obscurecidos até então que o relacionam também à crescente corrente da antropologia social
Abstract: The object of this research is the work Ufe in a $outh African Tribe, wrote in 1913 by the Swiss missionary and ethnographer Henri Junod (1863-1934). His ethnographic work in the south of Mozambique, particularly with the costumes' study of what had been named "tsonga" group, had relevance in several themes in the anthropological debate. However, the anthropological historiography restricted itself, mostly, to Junod's argument about kinship and social evolution exposed through the Radcliffe-Brown's basilar article "The mother's brother in South Africa". In this research, it was explored others ethnographical contributions of Junod, found through a detail reading of Ufe in a South African Tribe. Other texts was used too, inclusively others versions of the work in question, with the objective of deepening in the author's ideas. In this matter, this dissertation presents Junod's contributions in themes as lineage, rites of passage, systems of n:arriage and the relation between social norm and behavior. Also, it was possible to present a brief study of the Junod's trajectory and its relation with his work. The Radcliffe-Brown's vision about Junod' s ideas located him in the evolutionary matrix. However, with this research, it was demonstrated that others elements, that had been obscured until now, relates Junod to the growing current of the social anthropology

Previous issue date: 2012-03-30Our study aims to understand the social representations of Kanaimî, the shaman and the people Tarenpokon Macuxi, in Canta's Galo and Maturuca's Villages, located in northeastern Roraima. Aimed to deepen the ideas that the Indians of these places have these characters on the culture in order to make their meaning and relate them to the religion. The initial research was literature in order to observe how the Kanaimî understood, and the shaman Tarenpokon in the past. We conduct interviews, which were used to support the verification of representations today, and analysis with reference to the theory of social representation. The Kanaimî, spiritual and starring as a character constant violent attacks, manifests and promotes terror to Indians. This causes the Indians to perform a series of rituals in order to keep them away from their paths. The shaman, as a trustee for many health and spiritual problems of the indigenous Macuxi, media to solve these problems together with the spiritual beings as possible. The Tarenpokon also as a healer capable of providing health, conducts prayer sessions that acts on the various "bichos" (bugs) to keep them or convince them to heal people. We relate these explanations to the cosmovision of the Macuxi to understand its religious manifestations. We have based historical studies and socio-anthropological aspects of the existing religious Macuxi that relate to the characters - Kanaimî, shaman and Tarenpokon - expanding their social representations and specifying the meanings they have
Nosso estudo visa a compreender as Representações Sociais do Kanaimî, do Piya san e do Tarenpokon no povo Macuxi, nas Malocas do Canta Galo e de Maturuca, localizadas na região Nordeste de Roraima. Objetivou aprofundar as ideias que os índios dessas localidades possuem sobre esses personagens da cultura, a fim de apresentar seus significados e relacioná-los à religiosidade. A pesquisa inicial foi bibliográfica, visando a observar como entendiam o Kanaimî, o Piya san e o Tarenpokon no passado. Realizaram-se entrevistas que serviram de suporte na verificação das representações na atualidade, além das análises tendo como referência a teoria da representação social. O Kanaimî, como personagem espiritual e protagonizador de constantes ataques violentos, manifesta- se e promove terror aos índios. Isso faz com que os índios realizem uma série de rituais visando a afastá-los de seus caminhos. O Piya san, como curador da saúde e de diversos problemas espirituais dos indígenas Macuxi, medeia a solução desses problemas junto aos entes espirituais o máximo possível. O Tarenpokon, também como curador com capacidade de proporcionar a saúde, realiza sessões de rezas que agem sobre os diversos bichos , para afastá-los ou convencê-los a curar as pessoas. Procuramos relacionar essas explicações com a cosmovisão dos Macuxi para entendermos suas manifestações religiosas. Tomamos como base os estudos históricos e socioantropológicos de aspectos religiosos existentes sobre os Macuxi que estão relacionados aos personagens Kanaimî, Piya san e Tarenpokon ampliando suas representações sociais e especificando os significados que possuem

Full textAbstract:
En Medellín, Colombia, existen una serie indígenas migrados desde sus comunidades que han construido un cabildo pluriétnico, el cabildo urbano Chibcariwak, y que reivindican que se puede ser indígena viviendo en la ciudad. Por otro lado, tanto la organización indígena de la región, la Organización Indígena de Antioquia – OIA –, como el Estado colombiano cuestionan la “autenticidad” identitaria de estos indígenas que viven en contexto urbano por el hecho de que no cumplen con una serie de características – que vivan en contacto con la Naturaleza, que practiquen rituales propios, etc. –. En este trabajo se cuestiona el discurso indigenista que obliga a estas personas a comportarse de una manera determinada si quieren “conservar” la identidad, determinando cuál es el locus enuntiationis desde el que se construye, y también la lógica que hay detrás de este discurso, que lo que hace, al fin y al cabo, es reproducir a nivel epistémico las relaciones de dominio y explotación propias de la colonialidad. En definitiva, este trabajo busca determinar si el movimiento indígena actual que hay en esta región de Colombia representa una alteridad, o bien actúa como un agente más del sistema-mundo moderno/colonial.In Medellin, Colombia, there are indigenous migrated from thier communities who have built a multi-ethnic cabildo, the urban cabildo Chibcariwak, and they claim that can be indigenous living in the city. On the other hand, both the indigenous organization of the region, the Indigenous Organization of Antioquia – OIA – such as the Colombian State identity question the "authenticity" of these indigenous people living in urban context by the fact that do not comply with a series of features – living in contact with Nature, to practice own rituals, etc. –. In this paper, the indigenous discourse that forces these people to behave in a certain way if they want to "preserve" the identity is questioned, determining what is the locus enuntiationis from which it is built, and also the logic behind this discourse is questioned, that what, in the final analysis, is to reproduce in a epistemic level the domain and exploitation relations of coloniality. In short, this study seeks to determine whether the current indigenous movement is in this region of Colombia represents an alternative, or acts as an agent more of the modern/colonial world- system.

Full textAbstract:
Life history theory has focused on the life cycle tradeoffs faced by individuals who are constrained by the energy they can forage for themselves at each age. However, humans are deeply social and adults transfer food to children for many years, freeing them from this energy constraint but also bringing the risk that parental death could entail the death of all dependent offspring. Multiple simultaneously dependent offspring also bring a family life cycle squeeze in which dependency ratio doubles. Food sharing and alloparenting ameliorate both problems, providing life insurance and smoothing the life cycle squeeze, while permitting humans to rely on food resources that would be too uncertain for isolated individuals. Food sharing and intergenerational transfers in turn affect the way natural selection shapes life histories. We use microsimulations to study evolution of life histories. Births inherit the mother’s genome subject to mutations. Individuals live under different social arrangements and forage with productivity depending on population density. Natural selection on life histories occurs. We examine the way the size and relatedness of sharing group arrangements alter the evolution of life history traits through mutation and natural selection. We consider which social arrangements, with their corresponding evolved life histories, are most successful in a group competition where all face the same density constraint. There is a tradeoff between costs and benefits of sharing. We find that intermediate levels are most successful, unless childhood conditions strongly influence later life productivity.

Full textAbstract:
Evolutionary demography applies models and theories from evolutionary biology to understand variability in fertility and mortality patterns. Many important ecological influences derive from the natural environment, such as the burden of infectious disease, or the availability of energy and other nutrients. However, human society is itself a source of diverse stimuli and stresses that may generate profound impacts on demographic traits. On this issue, much attention to date has focused on the benefits of social interaction, in particular ‘cooperative breeding’ through which the costs of reproduction are shared among kin or others. In contrast, this chapter will use a simple model of social inequality, based on the ecological ‘producer-scrounger’ game, to shed light on how social hierarchy, through the key medium of nutrition, can shape diversity in life history trajectories. Life history trade-offs shape both physiological and behavioural characteristics of individuals, which in turn affect both fertility and mortality profiles. In every society, it is ultimately through relationships embedded in the context of nutrition that different groups within social hierarchies interact. The key insight from the producer-scrounger game is that in social hierarchies, the life history strategies of producers and scroungers are structurally inter-related. This results in contrasting phenotypes and demographic outcomes between the two groups. Those lower in social hierarchies have higher risks, and fewer opportunities to acquire resources, and may adapt through trade-offs that favour immediate survival and reproduction over growth and long-term health maintenance. In contrast, those with priority access to resources may demonstrate trade-offs that favour growth and long-term health maintenance, leading to greater longevity, a lengthier reproductive career and higher quality offspring. These contrasting life history strategies may emerge through the direct control of subordinates by high-ranked individuals, or through indirect control over the resources that subordinates struggle to access. This simple conceptual approach can help understand both contemporary variability within and between populations in demographic traits, and also their historical divergence or convergence over time.

AbstractLife cycle assessment (LCA) is a standardised and comprehensive approach for evaluation of environmental impacts within the material and energy flows associated with various human activities and through the life cycle stages. Besides environmental impact evaluation, with LCA, costs, social impacts, impacts on workers, organisations and others can also be assessed. This paper focuses on development of educational framework for evaluation of occupational safety based on LCA. The goal is to develop a new study subject “LCA in the field of safety at work” for the occupational safety engineering master study programme at the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Novi Sad. New study subject is based on LCA approaches that evaluate the occupational safety and impact on workers. Based on the previous research of LCA in the field of occupational safety, the goal, outcome, content and realisation are defined for the new study subject.

Anatomy knowledge is essential for many professionals, such as: doctors, nurses, biologists, biochemical, physiotherapists and any professional in physical education. Over the years, the main anatomical teaching method, the dissection of cadavers becomes less common due to issues related to high costs associated with the maintenance of laboratories, ethical aspects and health risks related to exposure to formaldehyde vapor. This factor was maximized with the Covid-19 pandemic, since presentials accesses to laboratories have become unviable. In order to offer a complementary tool for the teaching of bone anatomy, we propose in this work a serious game in augmented reality, based on controls by analysis of manual gestures, to assist the learning of this discipline.

The results of the comparison have shown a high socio-economic efficiency of assisted living in comparison with living in psychoneurological residential institutions. With greater satisfaction with the quality of life of the users, the financial and economic costs of the assisted living accommodation are comparable to the cost of inpatient social services. At the same time, the modernization of psychoneurological residential institutions may require more resources than the organization of assisted living

Brazilian Social Housing (SH) programmes have a positive effect on reducing habitational deficits, however, often fail to mitigate social segregation. In addition, SHs present a minimal, or inadequate comfort, and environment quality with adverse consequences on the quality of life and well-being of users. The negative impacts of housing conditions and the built environment may imply in Social Costs (SCs) incurred on society. There is a gap related to SCs associated with Brazilian SH, and how to estimate these. Our research aims to evaluate potential SCs related to SH. The study was developed in 3 stages: evaluation of SCs components, estimation of a SC model, and identification of SCs in a specific SH example. Visual observations, questionnaires, photos, mapping, and documents to analyse SCs were applied in a specific case study. Furthermore, our research highlights a participatory process, placing the residents as protagonists to define their housing. Understanding how social issues are associated with housing conditions and their surroundings and creating mechanisms to reduce SCs may enable the development and implementation of new housing design solutions. Also, fundamental are future scenarios where sustainability, quality of life, and well-being guide the production of housing and the resulting built environment

Freight transportation of goods and commodities is a necessity and is often a significant portion of the overall investment in industrial development, especially in the natural resource industry. The economic costs of developing infrastructure have long been factored into the project costs, but environmental or social impacts have received less attention. In addition, alternative transportation modes are rarely compared from both economic and environmental perspectives. This paper performs a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for truck-only, multimodal and rail transportation options to transport ore and concentrate. In this paper, LCA is performed in SimaPro for construction/manufacturing, operations, maintenance, and end of life phases to obtain the overall Global Warming Potential (GWP) in terms of kilogram equivalents of CO2 (kg CO2eq). After emissions from alternative options have been defined, the cost of each option can be investigated through Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) This paper also discusses the past work on LCCA and its application to transportation projects. The final part provides a methodology to convert the emission results from LCA for integration with the costs from LCCA.

Abstract Nowadays the Energy Industry and Industrial Power Plants are committed to support sustainable development balancing environmental, social and economic benefits. Turbomachinery products, in particular gas turbines design, have to overcome the barriers imposed by: performance, lifetime and costs requirements. A new approach based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is needed to define the correlation between carbon footprint and costs for different materials, manufacturing processes and production regions. To develop a decision-making tool to design sustainable products in the gas turbine sector high quality data are needed to model what is the impact of: materials and operations. Manufacturing operations (like forging and casting) and machining operations (like drilling, milling, turning, together with coating operations) are taken into account in this study. These processes have been customized to model the processes of the real supply chains used in Baker Hughes to build up a database, which is more focused on gas turbines, respect to the ones which can be found in the commercial LCA databases.

While digital technologies pervade and transform professional and personal worlds, their impact remains strongly differentiated across various social worlds. Generational, professional and national boundaries have been deeply transformed yet reproduced through the impact of digital technologies. In this study we examine recent results concerning the attitudes of Europeans towards digital technologies, in particular robots, social networks and artificial intelligence, relying on the Eurobarometer 87.1 survey conducted in March 2017. Several general tendencies signal high levels of concern framed within ambivalent evaluations and variable levels of information: more than 70% of respondents agree in part or totally that “robots and artificial intelligence steal people’s jobs”, still more than 80% agree in part or totally that “robots are necessary as they can do jobs that are too hard or too dangerous for people”. About 44% of employed respondents feel that robots threaten their current job, while about half consider that their work could not be accomplished by a robot. A majority of respondents would be uncomfortable in a driverless car in traffic, but more than half would be comfortable being assisted by a robot at work, or receiving goods with drones or robots. Still, less than half of the total respondents have received information about artificial intelligence in the last year, raising the issue of preparedness for a major social transformation. Despite increasing social and economic costs of cyberattacks, only about a quarter of respondents who use the Internet declare that they are willing to pay more for better security and privacy features in their IT products. These overall tendencies mask powerful differences across nations and generations. We present a profile of various social groups and we also discuss a cluster classification of respondents according to their technology awareness and attitudinal profiles.

Full textAbstract:
As sustainable building design practices become more prevalent in today’s construction market, designers are looking to alternative materials for novel design strategies. This paper presents a case study comparing the sustainability performance of cross laminated timber (CLT) and reinforced concrete. A comparative sustainability assessment of cross laminated timber and concrete, considering economic, environmental, and social aspects was performed. Environmental impact is measured in terms of CO2 equivalent, economic impact is measured with total sector cost (including sector interdependencies), and qualitative metrics were considered for social impact. In order to conduct an accurate performance comparison, a functional unit of building facade volume was chosen for each product. For this paper, several end-of-life strategies were modeled for CLT and concrete facades. To understand environmental, economic, and social impact, three different scenarios were analyzed to compare performance of both CLT and concrete, including cradle to gate product manufacturing, manufacturing with landfill end-of-life, and manufacturing with recycling end-of-life. Environmental LCA was modeled using GaBi 5.0 Education Edition, which includes its own database for elements including materials, processes, and transportation. To compare the economic impact, Carnegie Mellon’s EIO-LCA online tool is used. Finally, social life cycle impact was considered by identifying process attributes of both products that affect the social domain. Based on this analysis, the use of CLT has a significantly lower environmental impact than concrete, however there are additional costs.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The World energy council (WEC) of which Nigeria is a member share a common belief that guaranteeing a sustainable supply of affordable energy is one of the best ways to address poverty, inequality and environmental degradation everywhere on the plant. So many natural gas pipeline projects exist at different implementation stages in Nigeria and many of its projects have struggled to achieve sustainability throughout their lifecycle. Specifically, natural gas pipeline construction projects have neglected to consider economic, environmental, and social factors, resulting in inefficiencies and a continued lack of energy access in the country. This research focused on examining the relationship between project life cycle costing and the sustainability of natural gas pipeline construction projects in Nigeria. The study employed literature reviews, document analysis, and case studies, employing both descriptive and explanatory research designs. Nigerian gas pipelines used for power generation, cement production, and other purposes served as the case study. The findings revealed that initial costs significantly influenced the sustainability of natural gas pipeline construction projects. Additionally, maintenance costs and end-life costs were found to impact the sustainability of such projects in the Niger Delta region. Moreover, the research demonstrated that operational costs played a crucial role in explaining natural gas pipeline construction projects in the Niger Delta.

Estimates of the economic value of removal of food hypersensitivity were generated from a stated preference (SP) survey in which people completed a discrete choice experiment (DCE). The DCE comprised of choices between (i) no change in respondents’ food hypersensitivity and (ii) the condition being removed for a specified period, at a cost. The surveys were conducted between July and December 2021 by adults regarding their own food hypersensitivity or by parents/carers regarding their child’s food hypersensitivity. The samples comprised 1426 adults and 716 parents. The average WTP for the removal of an adult’s FHS for a year, pooled across all conditions was £718. For models estimated separately by condition, the WTP values for food allergy, coeliac disease and food intolerance were £1064, £1342 and £540 respectively. In models estimated on DCE data from parents regarding their children’s food hypersensitivity the average WTP, pooled across all conditions, was £2501. The annual WTP values by condition were: £2766 for food allergy; £1628 for coeliac disease; £1689 for food intolerance. Respondents rated their (child’s) health and the impacts of their (child’s) FHS using several established instruments including the Food Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire (FAQLQ); Food Intolerance Quality of Life Questionnaire (FIQLQ); Coeliac Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire, (CDQ). In the adult allergy and intolerance models we find robust evidence of effects of the perceived severity of FHS on WTP – the higher people’s FAQLQ and FIQLQ scores, the more they are willing to pay to remove their condition. There was no effect of variation in the CDQ score on WTP to remove coeliac disease. In the child WTP results we find condition-severity effects in the coeliac sample: the worse the child’s CDQ score the higher the parents’ WTP to remove the condition. The WTP values are estimates of the combined annual costs associated with (i) the intangible costs including the pain, anxiety, inconvenience and anxiety caused by FHS and (ii) additional incurred costs (time and money) and lost earnings. The values can be incorporated into the FSA Cost of Illness (COI) model, the Burden of Foodborne disease in the UK (Opens in a new window) which is currently used to measure the annual, social, cost of foodborne disease. A Best Worst Scaling (BWS) exercise was conducted to identify the relative importance of the many and diverse impacts which comprise the FAQLQ, FIQLQ and CDQ instruments. The BWS results indicate that people assign very different levels of importance to the impacts comprising the three instruments. This unequal prioritisation contrasts with the equal weighting used in the construction of the FAQLQ, FIQLQ and CDQ measures. Embarrassment and fear related to eating out or social situations feature in the top three impacts for all the conditions. Identifying the effects which most affect quality of life (from the perspective of people living with those conditions) has the potential to inform policy and practice by both regulators and private organisations such as food business operators.

Full textAbstract:
Population ageing is a global phenomenon which presents major challenges for the provision of care at home and in the community (ONS, 2018). Challenges include the human and economic costs associated with increasing numbers of older people with poor physical and mental health, loneliness, and isolation challenges (Mihalopoulos et al., 2020). The global ageing population has led to a growth in the development of technology designed to improve the health, well-being, independence, and quality of life of older people across various settings (Fang, 2022). This emerging field, known as “AgeTech,” refers to “the use of advanced technologies such as information and communications technologies (ICT’s), technologies related to e-health, robotics, mobile technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), ambient systems, and pervasive computing to drive technology-based innovation to benefit older adults” (Sixsmith, et al., 2020 p1; see also Pruchno, 2019; Sixsmith, Sixsmith, Fang, and Horst, 2020). AgeTech has the potential to contribute in positive ways to the everyday life and care of older people by improving access to services and social supports, increasing safety and community inclusion; increasing independence and health, as well as reducing the impact of disability and cognitive decline for older people (Sixsmith et al, 2020). At a societal level, AgeTech can provide opportunities for entrepreneurs and businesses (where funding and appropriate models exist) (Akpan, Udoh and Adebisi, 2022), reduce the human and financial cost of care (Mihalopoulos et al., 2020), and support ageing well in the right place (Golant, 2015).

Full textAbstract:
Social skills are essential to building empowered and cohesive communities in ethnic diversity. In a world with massive population movements and growing anti-immigrant sentiments, schools stand out as important platforms to instill key social skills into our children to build inter-ethnic cohesion. Achieving this requires the implementation of rigorously tested educational actions. This brief provides the evaluation results of a particular educational program that was implemented in a high-stakes context where the ethnic composition of schools changed abruptly due to a massive refugee influx. The program significantly lowered peer violence and ethnic segregation in schools, and improved prosociality in children.

Full textAbstract:
This paper reflects on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on religious life in Bulgaria, especially in the Orthodox Church, and on the sphere of academic teaching. The picture that emerges against the background of the moderate COVID-19 measures and the non-closure of churches is rather disturbing, given the aggressive attacks by non-believers against ecclesial practice. It testifies to widespread superstition and deep theological ignorance even among those who designate themselves as ‘Orthodox Christians’. The compromise of university education during the COVID-19 panic and the radical changes to the social way of thinking go—as a basis of the perplexity of the social mind—hand in hand with the destruction of the democratic world order by Russia’s war against Ukraine.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship of various levels of social support with quality of life (QOL) among school teachers in Kashmir. It has been found that social support and its three dimensions namely support from signicant others; support from family and support from friends had a positive signicant relationship with quality of life and its four dimensions. Understanding the relationship between perceived social support and QOL in teachers may provide guidance to the healthcare providers, family members and social services about the importance of social support to the nation builders of the society.
