Introduction. The use of solvent inhalants has been documented in Mexico since the 1970s. Nevertheless, very little is known about the distribution and use dynamics among “street children”. Few have ventured to study this issue because of the difficulties involved in working with marginalized, relatively inaccessible populations. Objective. To analyze the distribution and consumption dynamics of activo, as it is known among street children in downtown Mexico City, and to document the paraphernalia and argot associated with these practices. Method. This is a qualitative, descriptive, and interpretative study guided by the “Meeting Place” approach used by Hughes (1977), which has been adapted to Mexican population by Ortiz (1979). We also used ethnographic observation techniques and a social and immersion mapping of street spaces that allowed us to contact and relate to both informants and users. Results. We identified activo distributors and storage areas; user groups were made up of men and women in a 7-3 ratio; physical and psycho-social characteristics of sellers and users, and some street argot and paraphernalia that allowed us to understand the dynamics of distribution and consumption. Discussion and conclusion. The activo market is both captive and hidden; it is detrimental to the physical and mental health of street children, and is fostered by social exclusion and the lack of legislation.

Objectives: Despite calls for better supportive care, patients and families still commonly bear significant responsibility for managing the physical and mental health and social challenges of being diagnosed with and treated for cancer. As such, there is increased advocacy for integrated supportive care to ease the burden of this responsibility. The purpose of this study was to understand patient and caregiver experiences with supportive care to advance its delivery at a large provincial cancer care organization in Canada. Method: We used a qualitative descriptive approach to analyze focus groups with patients and caregivers from seven sites across the large provincial cancer care organization. Results: Focus group participants (n = 69) included cancer patients (n = 57) and caregivers (n = 12). Participants highlighted positive and negative aspects of their experience and strategies for improvement. These are depicted in three themes: (1) improving patient and provider awareness of services; (2) increasing access; (3) enhancing coordination and integration. Participants’ specific suggestions included centralizing relevant information about services, implementing a coach or navigator to help advocate for access, and delivering care virtually. Conclusions: Participants highlighted barriers to access and made suggestions for improving supportive care that they believed would reduce the burden associated with trying to manage their cancer journey.

This study aims to provide analysis and understanding of gender representation in the annual report of the Regional Development Bank (BPD) in Indonesia. The objects of this research are PT Bank Aceh and PT Bank DKI Jakarta. The study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with secondary data types obtained from the Annual Report of PT Bank Aceh and Bank DKI. Data collection is done by documentation techniques by collecting photographs of humans in the company's annual report. The analytical method used is content analysis. The steps of this research are: 1) identifying photos of people in the annual report, 2) grouping photos by employees or non-employees, only men, only women, or men and women together, 3) overview of the quantity of photos by group, 4) interpret the results of research found in the annual report. The results showed that gender portrayals in the BPD Aceh and DKI Jakarta annual reports did not support equality between men and women. Employee photos in the annual report are dominated by male gender compared to female. Through analysis of gender photographs described in the annual report it was found that male gender dominates in terms of roles, places, clothing and body language. But in the analysis of the relative position, men and women are shown standing or sitting equally.

Among the first, execution based on Grosse fiduciary guarantee certificate or executable title (fiat execution) contained in the Fiduciary Guarantee Certificate carried out by the fiduciary recipient. Second, an execution based on the execution of separate executions through public auctions by fiduciary recipients. Third, execution by sale under the hand by the creditor fiduciary himself, and fourth, fiduciary execution by claiming. Based on Islamic law, the process of expropriation of the right to guarantee (execution) Rahn Tasjily, that the procedure for executing Marhun (collateral object), if due. Murtahin must warn Rahin to pay off her debt immediately. If the Rahin still cannot repay its debt, then Marhun is forcibly sold/executed through an auction, according to sharia. Marhun sales proceeds used to pay off debt, maintenance, and storage costs that have not paid and sales costs. The excess proceeds from the sale belong to Rahin, and the shortcomings become Rahin obligations. The execution process carried out by sharia companies must be based on fatwa no. 25/DSN-MUI/III/2002, and fatwa no. 92/ DSN-MUI/IV/2014. Positive law and Islamic law, which become normative references, have not been well understood and applied by the finance parties, causing injustice and legal uncertainty.Keywords: expropriation of rights, fiduciary guarantee, rahn tasjily ABSTRAKFenomena yang terjadi terkait pengambilalihan hak atas jaminan (eksekusi) jaminan fidusia dan rahn tasjily pada pelaksanaan eksekus yang dilakukan oleh lembaga pembiayaan tidak mematuhi aturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku.

Abstract Background Higher body-mass index is associated with increased mortality from vascular disease, renal disease and other metabolic causes. However, body mass reflects both fat and lean mass, which may have very different effects on risk. We investigated the individual and joint relevance of fat and lean mass to mortality from these causes, using data from the Mexico City Prospective Study. Methods Between 1998 and 2004, 150,000 adults from Mexico City were recruited into a prospective study and tracked for cause-specific mortality for 14 years. Fat and lean mass at recruitment were predicted using Mexican-specific anthropometric equations, validated in a subset of participants with additional bio-impedance measures. Cox regression was used to assess the relevance of fat and lean mass at recruitment to mortality from a vascular, renal, or other metabolic cause at ages 35–74 years. Analyses were adjusted for age at risk, sex, residential district, education, recreational physical activity, smoking and alcohol consumption. To avoid reverse causality, analyses excluded those with diabetes or other chronic diseases at recruitment, and deaths in the first 5 years of follow-up. Mortality rate ratios (RRs) relate to the differences per SD of the usual values of various factors or the differences between the top tenth and bottom fifth of the values. Results Among 112,923 participants aged 35–74 years, mean (SD) fat mass in men and women was 22.0 (6.4) kgs and 29.4 (7.8) kgs respectively, while mean (SD) lean mass was 54.9 (7.2) kgs and 39.2 (5.0) kgs respectively. In both men and women, equation-predicted fat and lean mass closely matched the bio-impedance values (all r>0.86). Both fat and lean mass were positively and approximately log-linearly associated with mortality from a vascular or metabolic cause. However, the association of lean mass with mortality was more than accounted for by the correlation of lean with fat mass. Hence, after adjustment for fat mass, lean mass was inversely associated with risk. For a given amount of fat mass, the RR for vascular/metabolic mortality comparing those in the top tenth versus bottom fifth of the predicted lean mass was 0.35 (95% CI 0.24–0.52). Conversely, for a given amount of lean mass, the RR comparing those in the top tenth versus bottom fifth of the predicted fat mass was 4.06 (3.06–5.39). The RRs associated with each SD higher fat mass (1.51, 1.40–1.63) or lean mass (0.79, 0.73–0.86) appeared to be little affected by age, sex, or levels of other confounders, and were broadly similar for the major vascular, renal, and other metabolic mortality. The height-adjusted RRs were 1.41 (1.30–1.53) for fat mass and 0.91 (0.82–1.00) for lean mass. Conclusions In this Mexican cohort, predicted fat and lean mass had opposing effects on vascular and other metabolic deaths, with no evidence of any thresholds throughout the ranges studied.

Our results show that negative returns to health outcomes set in at around 50 work hours per week, and that the negative effects of working long hours manifest earlier for women than men. Increased work hours are associated with higher incomes and better access to medical care. However, increased work hours also generate greater physical and mental stress, which may cause health problems. We examine these questions empirically with data from the 2006 wave of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY), using two-stage least squares to account for endogeneity of work hours and income in the health outcomes model.

Biological Differences

The term gender refers to the cultural and social characteristics attributed to men and women on the basis of perceived biological differences. In the 1970s, feminists focused on sex roles, particularly the socialization of men and women into distinct masculine and feminine roles and the apparent universality of patriarchy. More recent work has critiqued the idea of two distinct genders, calling into question the notion of gender dichotomies and focusing attention on gender as a constitutive element of all social relationships. Gender has been described as a social institution that structures the organization of other institutions, such as the labor market, families, and the state, as well as the social relations of everyday life. In addition, scholars have pointed to the ways in which gender is constructed by organizations and individual interactions. Gender not only differentiates men and women into unequal groups, it also structures unequal access to goods and resources, often crosscutting and intersecting with other forms of inequality, such as class, race, and ethnicity.

Forty-five years ago, U.S. Indian Commissioner John Collier helped persuade the members of the Pan American Union (now the Organization of American States) to establish the Inter-American Indian Institute “to elucidate the problems affecting the Indian groups within their respective jurisdictions, and to cooperate with one another, on a basis of mutual respect for the inherent rights of each to exercise absolute liberty in solving the ‘Indian Problem’ in America.” Operating under an international convention concluded in November 1940 and governed by a board of 21 state representatives, the Mexico City-based Institute is charged with “scientific investigations,” technical assistance to national Indian agencies and “the training of men and women experts devoted to the problems of the Indian.” Institute policy is also guided by an Inter-American Indian Congress of governmental administrators of Indian affairs, which is convened every four years.

This chapter examines Afro-Mexicans' level of involvement in colonial society and religious life as well as their desires to gain social power as defined by colonial authorities. An important form of Christian practice for Africans in the Diaspora came through membership in Catholic confraternities, lay groups that were organized around venerating saints and often served as mutual aid societies for their members. This chapter considers the case of a group of black men and women who performed clandestine religious ceremonies in the alleys of late seventeenth-century Mexico City and claimed to be religiosos (clerics) and religiosas (nuns) of Saint Iphigenia. In particular, it analyzes the possible meanings such gatherings held for the congregants. The case demonstrates how Afro-Mexicans asserted their right to worship as Christians on their own terms, deployed their understandings of Christianity around the prescribed tenets of religious orthodoxy, and interpreted the language of hierarchy and power embodied in religious objects and rituals.
