Maintenance Model

The self-regulation of exercise maintenance model was used to study the episode-specific interpretations of exercise of older women immediately after an exercise episode. Seventeen women, mean age 69.7 ± 4.9 years, were recruited to represent a variety of exercise patterns. A semistructured episode-specific interview was administered after an exercise episode. The questions asked related to physiological/somatic and cognitive/emotional sensations associated with exercise and the social/environmental context of the exercise experience. Data analysis revealed five themes—somatic sensations, affirmations, connectedness, explanations, and reflections—each of which contained distinct categories. The proposed self-regulation of exercise maintenance model was clarified to better represent the data grounded in the women’s descriptions. The women’s qualitative descriptors will be used to develop a quantitative instrument to measure older women’s interpretations of exercise. Future research should involve testing the self-regulation of exercise maintenance model and examining interventions that affect episode-specific interpretations and thereby exercise maintenance.

  Resumen San Andrés Paxtlán es un municipio del distrito de Miahuatlán, Oaxaca; se ubica en la Sierra Sur de Oaxaca. Se realizó un estudio exploratorio, acción-investigación con el objetivo de determinar riesgos socio-ambientales e implementar estrategias de educación para la salud. Para lo cual se procedió a estimular la participación de los miembros de las comunidades de Cerro Santiago, San Pedro Loma Larga, Carrizales y La Concepción, se tomaron fotografí­as para describir riesgos socio-ambientales, se entrevistó a los representantes comunitarios y se realizó intervención comunitaria. El contexto socio-ambiental deja entrever necesidades socioeconómicas, de educación, sanitarias y en servicios de salud, resalta el bajo í­ndice de desarrollo humano. Se requiere de la ejecución de acciones de corresponsabilidad y educación para la salud.   Palabras clave: Contexto socio-ambiental, riesgos ambientales, intervención comunitaria, educación para la salud.   Abstract San Andres Paxtlan is a municipality in the district of Miahuatlán, Oaxaca; it is located at the South mountain range of Oaxaca.  An exploratory action research study was conducted, with the purposes of determining socio-environmental risks and implementing strategies for health education.  In order to achieve such purpose, the next procedure was to encourage the participation of the members of the communities from Cerro Santiago, San Pedro Loma Larga, Carrizales, and La Concepción. In order to describe socio-environmental risks, photographs were taken. The community representatives were interviewed and community intervention was conducted. The social-environmental context allows seeing the socio-economical, educational and sanitarian needs, as well as a need for health services, in which the low rate of human development is highlighted. Therefore, the implementation of actionsabout co-responsibility and health education are required. Key Words: social-environmental context, environmental risks, community intervention, health education.     [1]Los autores del presente artí­culo de investigación reconocemos y agradecemos profundamente la colaboración de la Licenciada en Docencia del Inglés.

This article is the second in a two-part series that analyzes current research on harassment in archaeology. Both qualitative and quantitative studies, along with activist narratives and survivor testimonials, have established that harassment is occurring in archaeology at epidemic rates. These studies have also identified key patterns in harassment in archaeology that point to potential interventions that may prevent harassment, support survivors, and hold perpetrators accountable. This article reviews five key obstacles to change in the disciplinary culture of archaeology: normalization, exclusionary practices, fraternization, gatekeeping, and obstacles to reporting. Two public health paradigms—the social-environmental model and trauma-informed approaches—are used to identify interventions that can be taken at all levels of archaeological practice: individual, relational, organizational, community, and societal.

This study examined temporal trends in body mass index (BMI) among United States adults with intellectual disability (ID) participating in Special Olympics from 2005 to 2010. In addition, the prevalence of obesity was compared with published National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) statistics. After data cleaning, 6,004 height and weight records (male = 57%) were available from the Special Olympics International Healthy Athletes Health Promotion database for the calculation of BMI. Rates of overweight and obesity were very high but generally stable over time. Compared with NHANES statistics, the prevalence of obesity was significantly higher for Special Olympics female participants in each data collection cycle. Integrated efforts to understand the social, environmental, behavioral, and biological determinants of obesity and among Special Olympics participants are needed.

ABSTRACT In this article, I argue that attempting to solve real problems is a possible approach to bring social and natural sciences together, and suggest that - as Environmental Impact Assessment necessarily brings together social and environmental issues - this debate is a strong candidate for such a task. The argument is based on a general discussion about the possibilities and limitations of Environmental Impact Assessments, the social-environmental impacts of mining activities and three case studies. The analysis of the cases indicates possibilities and limitations of the dialogue between scientists from various areas - and of the collaboration with social movements and affected communities - in avoiding negative impacts of mining projects and, eventually, increasing their sustainability.

Cluster Analysis Technique

Italy is among the most important countries in Europe for milk production. The new European policies encourage a transition towards sustainability and are leading European dairy farms to follow new trajectories to increase their economic efficiency, reduce their environmental impact, and ensure social sustainability. Few studies have attempted to classify dairy farms by analyzing the relationships between the structural profiles of farms and the social, environmental, and economic dimensions of sustainability. This work intends to pursue this aim through an exploratory analysis in the Italian production context. The cluster analysis technique made it possible to identify three types of dairy farms, which were characterized on the basis of indicators that represented the three dimensions of sustainability (environmental, social, and economic sustainability) and the emerging structural relationships based on the structural characteristics of the dairy farms. The classification made it possible to describe the state of the art of the Italian dairy sector in terms of sustainability and to understand how different types of farms can respond to the new European trajectories.

Abstract Environmental education practiced by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) presents itself as a new teaching method directed at changing habits, attitudes and social practices seeking solutions for the social-environmental degradation afflicting the contemporary world. This work seeks to identify the perception and expectations of stakeholders regarding the contribution of NGOs in environmental education. The research was guided by the Delphi method and, as a result, verified that the involved stakeholders understand that environmental education practiced by NGOs must be ample, free, professionalized and directed towards all the segments of society via partnerships with public and private sector organizations.
