Navigating Labour Shifts: Early Modern Pearl Fishing in the Caribbean (1521–1563)

Abstract Narratives about indigenous labour in the pearl fisheries of the Caribbean, widely disseminated across the Atlantic world since the sixteenth century by Castilian chroniclers, have significantly shaped historiography. These accounts have reinforced a singular narrative about labour within pearl fisheries that overlooks this work's spatial and temporal changes in sea depths. This article examines and reconstructs the labour practices of workers in the pearl fisheries on the islands of Cubagua, Margarita, and Coche, as well as the coast of Cabo de la Vela and Riohacha, highlighting their temporal and spatial transformations. Additionally, it analyses the coexistence of various forms of coerced labour within this context.

Folk classification of wild mushrooms from San Isidro Buensuceso, Tlaxcala, Central Mexico

BackgroundAn ethnomycological study was conducted to describe the fungus concept and the traditional fungus classification system for the Nahuas of San Isidro Buensuceso, in central Mexico. The study which provides information on the co-existence of various forms of classification, based on both cultural and biological characteristics.MethodsThe research included conducting community interviews and forest forays in the company of mushroom pickers. The triad technique, pile sorting, and fresh mushroom sampling methods were used. Traditional names were analyzed to describe the Nahua classification system for fungi.Results and conclusionThe triad technique with non-utilitarian stimuli allowed the fungi to be identified as an independent group of plants and animals. The Nahua people of San Isidro classify fungi primarily based on their use, where they grow, and by humoral characteristics. The analysis of the names revealed a classification based on the criteria proposed by Brent Berlin. This study identified the detailed knowledge of fungi in this Nahua community. The criteria used for the recognition of the species are very reliable, since they use organoleptic, ecological, phenological, and morphological characteristics.

Russian – Norwegian Borderlands: Three Facets of Geopolitics

ABSTRACT This article aims to explore a paradoxical co-existence of various forms and models of trans-border interactions in areas of direct adjacency of Norway and Russia. Our main hypothesis is that the structural conditions of securitization that became dominant in NATO-Russia relations after the annexation of Crimea and the war in Donbas produce different effects all across the borderline, directly affecting borderland communities, including mobility, connectivity and public security. As our key point, we posit that the geopolitical conflictuality and the ensuing gaps and ruptures in military security are not automatically projected onto the level of “low” / grass-roots / local politics where there exists a public demand for expanding the existing spaces of interaction in such fields as cultural exchanges, environmental protection and people-to-people contacts. Apparently, the geopolitical divides are more visible and easily identifiable through the mainstream media, while other layers need a different optics allowing to spot various regimes of border functioning and peer into the complex construction of borders, where geopolitical divisions and partitions are counter-balanced by sub-national activities and initiatives discarding the logic of geopolitical conflict and alternating it with the grass-roots public / cultural diplomacy.

Prevalence and factors associated with double and triple burden of malnutrition among mothers and children in Nepal: evidence from 2016 Nepal demographic and health survey

BackgroundMalnutrition in mothers and children is a significant public health challenge in developing countries such as Nepal. Although undernutrition in children has been gradually decreasing, the coexistence of various forms of malnutrition in mothers and children has continued to rise globally. There is a gap in knowledge of the coexistence of such multiple burdens of malnutrition in the Nepalese context. The aims of this study were to explore the coexistence of various forms of malnutrition and associated factors among mother-child pairs residing in the same household.MethodsA total sample of 2261 mother-child pairs from the Nepal Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) 2016 were included in the study. Anthropometric measurements and hemoglobin levels of children and anthropometric measurements of their mothers were collected. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression models were used to assess the factors associated with the double burden of malnutrition (DBM) and the triple burden of malnutrition (TBM).ResultsPrevalence of DBM and TBM was 6.60% (95% CI: 5.13–8.84) and 7.00% (95% CI: 5.42–8.99) respectively in the same households. In the adjusted multivariable logistic regression models, mothers with short stature (AOR = 4.18, 95% CI: 2.04–8.52), from the richest wealth quintile (AOR = 2.46, 95% CI: 1.17–5.15), aged over 35 years (AOR = 3.08, 95% CI: 1.20–7.86), and those who had achieved at least secondary level education (AOR = 2.05, 95% CI: 1.03–4.07) were more likely to suffer from the DBM. Similarly, mothers with short stature (AOR = 5.01, 95% CI: 2.45–10.24), from the richest wealth quintile (AOR = 2.66, 95% CI: 1.28–5.54), aged over 35 years (AOR = 3.41, 95% CI: 1.26–9.17), and those who had achieved at least secondary level education (AOR = 2.05, 95% CI: 1.00–4.18) were more likely to suffer from the TBM.ConclusionsOverall, there is a low prevalence of double and triple burden of malnutrition among mother-child pairs in Nepal. Older mothers with short stature and those from richer wealth quintiles were more likely to suffer from double and triple burden of malnutrition.

Calculation Formula of Positioning Error Based on Three Dimensions and Four Datum

Calculation of positioning error is difficult for engineers because of its invisibility in forming process, as well as coexistence of various forms. This paper is focused on the calculation of fixture location error from the novel direction to deepen understanding of error origination. In contrast to previous investigations, the authors have developed an equation to compute fixture location error based on three dimensions and four datum. This equation which is given after differential operation allows resource of location error. The findings from the differential equation shows that the fixture location error consists of the change in three misalignments of process datum and locating datum, spatula datum and locating datum, locating datum and stop datum respectively under general condition, and the value of fixture location error is gotten after simple operation of their three components listed above. And in case of locating element of plane or (and) Vee block especially, the fixture location error depends on the change in the distance of process datum and spatula datum. The work brings help to analysis positioning error and its conclusion indicates the method to reduce the value of positioning error quickly.

Contemporary Ukrainian Literature for Children and Youth in the Context of Multiculturalism as an Educational Practice

The article outlines the problem of relevance of multiculturalism in Ukrainian society and educational practice of the modern Ukrainian school. The authors analyze the artistic works by Oksana Lushchevska, addressed to young readers, representing the coexistence of various forms of cultural life, highlighting the problem of preserving one's own and perceiving another cultural identity, tolerant interaction of representatives of various ethnic groups. Simultaneously, the novel by American writer Rainbow Rowell focused on negative phenomena of interethnic interaction, but offered readers an interesting and multifunctional artistic text in terms of receptive poetics and aesthetics. Considered in the paper works can be an effective means of multicultural education and upbringing of schoolchildren

Costly Communication and Incentives

This paper discusses the introduction of incentive considerations in a model of costly communication. It starts from a simplified version of a team-theoretic model due to Dessein and Santos (2003), which relates the design of an organization to its adaptiveness to environmental uncertainty. Incentives are introduced in this setting, following an approach developed by Dewatripont and Tirole (2005). Doing so enriches the analysis by allowing for the coexistence of various forms of communication, in particular cheap talk versus costly communication. © 2006 by the European Economic Association.

Smoking-Related Diffuse Parenchymal Lung Disease: HRCT-Pathologic Correlation

Response by the lung to inhaled cigarette smoke varies widely between individuals and ranges from subclinical respiratory bronchiolitis to end-stage Langerhans' cell histiocytosis. The variety of interstitial lung diseases associated with cigarette smoking is wider than generally appreciated, and these often coexist. An understanding of the pathological basis of smoking-related lung disease helps to explain the sometimes complex patterns encountered on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). The recent refinement of the classification of the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias and the longitudinal study of cigarette smokers with HRCT has furthered understanding of what should be regarded as an overlapping group of entities. In this article the individual interstitial diseases ascribable to cigarette smoking are discussed in terms of their pathology and corresponding HRCT signs. Emphasis is placed on the frequent coexistence of various forms of smoking-related interstitial lung disease.

Heart Rate Variability in Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome

Background and Objectives:Studies in patients with mitral valve prolapse syndrome (MVPS) have shown the coexistence of various forms of autonomic dysfunction, and so this is an area that requires further investigation. Materials and Method:The study group consisted of 65 patients (36 men and 29 women), aged 16 to 43 years (mean±SD, 28±8) with symptomatic, echocardiographically proven mitral valve prolapse (MVPS) who were free of other organic heart diseases and arrhythmias. In a prospective study, heart rate variability (HRV) indexes were calculated from 24-hour Holter recordings obtained during normal daily activity and plasma norepinephine was measured, and then these data were compared among the study group according to clinic heart rate (HR). Results:The study group was divided into below 60 bpm (group 1:n=13), 60-80 bpm (group 2:n=36) and over 80 bpm (group 3:n=16) on the basis of clinic HR. These patient groups were matched with respect to age and gender. There were significant difference in SDNNIDX, rMSSD and pNN50 between these groups (p=0.005, 0.009 and 0.002 respectively), and these HRV measures correlated inversely with clinic HR (p<0.01). As clinic HR increased, there was a tendency for plasma norepinephrine concentration to also rise (p<0.05), but there was no statistical significant difference between these groups. Conclusion:Our data suggests that MVPS may have subgroups of HRV, reflecting cardiac autonomic modulation, according to clinic HR. (Korean Circulation J 1998;28(12):1973-1980)

Variations in the temperature optics of plagioclases in the Tabashine adamellite mass

About 300 plagioclases (0_??_70%An) in the Cretaceous Tabashiné adamellite stock of the Kitakami mountainland are observed on the universal stage. Projection of the twin plane (010) on the optical plane reveals a wide variation between the high-and low-temperature form for the composition range of 20 to 60% An (Figs. 6 and 7). To treat such variation, a modified chart (Fig. 4) and a composition-temperature form diagram (Fig. 7) are proposed. The coexistence of various forms even in a single crystal can not be explained by the incorporation of xenocrysts of the different forms, nor by the thermal history after the growth of crystals. It is more likely that it is caused by the unstable crystallizing conditions, i. e. changes in the pressure and in the rate of crystallization as the result of convection current in the magma.
