This book argues that Clark Kerr, Gaylord P. Harnwell, and other post-World War II academic leaders set the American research university on a new course by creating the instrumental university. With its emphasis on procedural rationality, organized research, and project-based funding by external patrons, the instrumental university would provide technical and managerial knowledge to shape the social order. Its leaders hoped that by solving the nation’s pressing social problems, the research university would become the essential institution of postwar America. On this view, the university’s leading purposes included promoting economic development and coordinating research from many fields in order to attack social problems. Reorienting institutions to prioritize these activities had numerous consequences. One was to inject more capitalistic and managerial tendencies into universities. Today, those who decry universities’ corporatizing and market-driven tendencies often trace them to the rise of neoliberalism in the 1970s. This book suggests that a fuller explanation of these tendencies must highlight their deeper roots in the technocratic progressive tradition that originated in the 1910s, particularly the organizational changes within universities that this tradition spawned from the 1940s onward as part of the instrumental university.

The housing choice voucher program was designed with two main goals in mind: to eliminate concentrations of poverty and the social problems it causes and to provide poor households with greater access to higher-opportunity neighborhoods. However, research suggests that voucher holders would like to move to higher-opportunity neighborhoods, but often are unable to do so. One of the most prominent reasons for this is that, in most cities and states, local law allows landlords to discriminate against potential tenants on the grounds of their “source of income” (SOI). This article reviews the literature on discrimination of voucher recipients and the potential for SOI antidiscrimination laws to mitigate some of these negative outcomes.

Current studies of human poverty and suffering seem to lack reflexivity on the kinds of alternatives or solutions that might be found in the local context of study. By reference to experiences from fieldwork among indigenous Sateré-Mawé immigrants in Manaus, Brazil it is illustrated how “participation” as an anthropological method is more than a tool for collecting ethno-graphic data. It is a practice like any other, involving social obligations towards our informants and a necessary engagement in the field of study. As an inseparable part of the production of anthropological know-ledge this engagement should be more explicitly addressed and reflected in anthropological writing and in the very idea of the anthropological project. If this engagement is properly reflected and addressed, a constructive anthropological critique might evolve that points to viable solutions to the social problems and sufferings encountered. Re-inscribing “participation” in the anthropological project as fundamental to any knowledge might also remind us that fieldwork, like any other social engagement, is fraught with social obligations that do not vanish with theoretical distance and abstraction.

The objective of the present study was the analysis of medical and social status of women co-infected with HIV and VHC with the following assessment of their readiness to antiviral therapy of chronic hepatitis C virus infection (CHC) taking into account the mental health and living conditions and sustaining the adherence to antiviral therapy thereafter. Materials and methods. To clarify the social and psychological status, 100 outpatient cards of women co-infected with HIV/HCV were analyzed. The in-depth study with the assessment of the psychosocial and detoxification status and the adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) was held in fifty patients. Results. Most of the women had a long-standing history of HIV infection and HCV. Of these, 78% underwent ART and 84,6% had a high adherence to treatment. The main social problems of the women were connected with their work (34,2%) and family circumstances (26,3%). An increase in the concentration of carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT), the marker of chronic alcohol abuse, was detected in three of 50 patients, and other three of the 50 had this parameter in the zone of unstable values. 72% of the patients showed mental disorders, while more than half of them (60%) had actively used psychoactive substances, and organic symptomatic mental disorder effects were observed in 20% of the patients. Most of the women were in remission on the use of psychoactive substances. Evaluation of the depression and anxiety levels has showed scattered results but in the meantime 54% of the women expressed complaints of asthenic nature, anxious mood was marked in 38% of the patients, 40% of them earlier had been suicidally inclined. Conclusion. Taking into account the social problems in one-third of patients that may negatively affect the treatment of HCV and HIV infection, it is essential to lend complimentary psychological support and assist with solving difficulties before the treatment assignment in order to increase the adherence to treatment. Due to mental health reasons, the patients need continuous observation and periodic condition correction. The majority of surveyed agree ART of CHC at this moment and in the short term but carefully relate to offered treatment regimens and its duration. Given the mental state of the patients, it can be assumed that virus C in women with HIV/HCV co-infection should be treated with direct-acting antiviral agents that do not exacerbate existing disorders. The next issue of the journal .HIV infection and immunosuppression disorders. (2018. Vol. 10, No. 4) will present the results of the study of clinical status features and the prospects for the therapy.
