The Relationship

Primary care physicians face increasing amounts of administrative work (e.g., entering notes into electronic health records, managing insurance issues, delivering test results, etc.) outside of face-to-face patient visits. The objective of this study is to qualitatively describe the experience that primary care physicians have with administrative work, with an emphasis on their beliefs about their job role. I conducted semi-structured interviews with 28 family physicians and internists in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Miami and qualitatively analyzed themes from interview transcripts using the grounded theory approach. Two major themes concerning the relationship between primary care physicians and administrative work were discovered: (a) Administrative work was not central to primary care physicians’ job role beliefs, and (b) “below license” work should be delegated to nonphysicians. Job roles should be considered in future efforts to reduce physician administrative work in primary care.

The Mind

La bibliografía relativa a la educación en la antigüedad clásica ha tenido en los trabajos de Marrou y Bonner a sus principales referentes, si bien las recientes aportaciones de R. Cribiore (especialmente Gymnastics of the Mind: Greek Education in Hellenistic and Roman Egypt, 2001) y T. Morgan (Literate Education in the Hellenistic and Roman Worlds, 1998) han contribuido a perfilar con mayor exactitud los diversos métodos de enseñanza escolares. El presente libro de Watts aplica una metodología similar con el objetivo de analizar tópicos relativos a la enseñanza y a la educación en una época en la que las relaciones entre el cristianismo y el paganismo condicionaron el contenido de la enseñanza.

The World

A key feature of the Occupy movement has been the General Assembly (GA), in which participants, gathered in outdoor public space, engaged in emergent forms of direct deliberative democratic practice. GAs created opportunities for renewed, co-constructed discourses about human rights, collectivity and autonomy, and the nature of fairness. The physical, durative occupation of public space and establishment of encampments enabled participants to converse and collaborate meaningfully about these matters and their implications for action. An attested ideology of horizontalism was produced and reflected in practices of decision-making within a direct participatory democratic framework. The generation of local intersubjectivity and global solidarity as well as the embodied augmentation of personal and group agency were lodged within face-to-face interactions at Occupy GAs. Participants developed and adapted specific embodied tools for assembly use, including hand signals and the human mic, to facilitate a discursive praxis of egalitarianism within the context of a speech exchange system suited to a large outdoor deliberative body. These practices are central to the Occupy movement, as they constitute the discursive experiments in direct democracy set in motion by a shared recognition of social crisis and systemic injustice felt increasingly around the world. This paper examines how several embodied practices at Occupy Los Angeles attend to participants’ attested ideologies and the practical problems of open, large-group direct democracy.

Schizophrenic Patients

To examine how the measure of expressed emotion relates to family life, 30 relatives of schizophrenic patients were assessed for EE and then observed in ten-minute discussions with the patients. It was found that high-EE relatives express more negative emotional statements than low-EE relatives when face-to-face with the patient; they also talk more rapidly, and this speech rate is correlated with the patient speech rate. Whereas low-EE relatives expressed few criticisms or intrusive statements, high-EE over-involved relatives were more intrusive, and high-EE critical relatives were more critical as well as more intrusive in direct interaction. These findings emphasise the importance of understanding divergent EE sub-styles and the complementary behaviour of patients. The findings of an earlier Los Angeles study were replicated.

Hotel Workers

This chapter describes a campaign to raise the minimum wage for hotel workers in Long Beach, California, exploring the deft use of the social change matrix to address income inequality in a way that was adapted to local conditions. The Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy (LAANE) studied the tourism industry in Long Beach and highlighted both the role of tax breaks for this industry in the community as well as the low wages paid to workers in it. Teaming up with a local chapter of UNITE HERE Local 11—the union that represents workers in the hotel, food service, and gaming industries—LAANE began to advocate for higher wages for employees in hotels in Long Beach. The UNITE HERE–LAANE partnership did not do much in terms of social media to promote its message, although it had a Facebook page and used Twitter and other channels. Instead, it used the mails and, most important, the face-to-face, door-to-door canvassing to get its message out.

A radiocarbon facility has been installed at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) to support interdisciplinary studies including archaeologic, archaeometric, geophysical, and geologic research. The laboratory was built between 1970 and 1973. Initially, a sample pretreatment and combustion system designed for a proportional CO2 counting system was installed. It was designed after concepts developed at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and New Zealand (Institute of Nuclear Sciences) Laboratories, and began processing samples in November 1972.

Living With Hiv

Stigma and discrimination attached to Human Immuno-deficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immuno-deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) are not new issues in Nepal where the issues are often considered to be the outcomes of either extra-marital sexual activities or sharing needles for drug use withpeople living with HIV (PLHIV). These activities are considered to be outside norms and values of Nepalese societies. Consequently, PLHIV are stigmatized and discriminated against in family and society. There are number of studies on stigma and discrimination attached to HIV and AIDS. However, there are very limited studies on management of HIV stigma and discrimination in Nepal. Therefore, this paper aims to look at HIV stigma and discrimination in general with a view to contextualize these issues, and to examine management of HIV stigma and discrimination in particular after being HIV diagnosed. This study follows qualitative research approach, face to face in-depth interview with 16 PLHIV in Pokhara during the period February-March 2017. This study investigates ways the participants have been able to manage their HIV stigma and discrimination in a greater extent at present with their own individual rigorous efforts, and supports made by local body and organizations/hospitals working in the field of HIV and AIDS as well. This paper has important policy implications, especially in the management of HIV stigma and discrimination in Nepal and other countries with similar socio-cultural contexts.Janapriya Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies, Vol. 6 (December 2017), page: 97-109

Participants in this study were 300 Mexican women of rural origin who were born and raised in villages of that country and who belong to one of three groups: married and living with their husbands in Los Angeles, California ( n = 100), married to migrant workers but living in Mexico ( n = 100), and living in Mexico with their spouses ( n = 100). Trained female professionals conducted face-to-face interviews in Spanish, in Mexico and in the United States. The purpose of this study was to identify specific sexual practices, coping strategies in sex-related situations, and fears and concerns regarding sexual intercourse. This article analyzes how these elements place Mexican rural-origin women at risk for HIV/AIDS. It discusses the need to design intervention strategies to prevent HIV/AIDS that take into consideration the limited power of women in traditional societies and the cultural precepts that promote gender roles characterized by male dominance and female submissiveness in the sexual arena.

Yannis M. Ioannides of Tufts University reviews, “Keys to the City: How Economics, Institutions, Social Interactions, and Politics Shape Development” by Michael Storper. The Econlit abstract of this book begins: “Considers the explanations we use for city and regional growth and development and presents a toolbox for answering important questions, drawing from economics, economic geography, and economic sociology. Discusses workshops of the world economy—people, jobs, and places; the motor of urban economies—specialization; disruptive innovation—geography and economics; cities and individuals—how we shape cities, but not the way we want to; the ““where” of development; communities and the economy; robust action—society, community, and development; technology, globalization, and local interaction; local context—the genius of cities; face-to-face contact; exit or voice?—politics, societies, and city-systems; and justice, efficiency, and cities—whether regions should help one another. Storper is Professor of Economic Geography at the London School of Economics and Political Science, Professor of Economic Sociology at Sciences Po, Paris, and Professor of Urban Planning and Geography at the University of California, Los Angeles.”
