Empowered by stigma? Pioneer organic farmers' stigma management strategies

2019

Abstract Pioneers of organic farming often faced social challenges as their innovative ideas on agriculture not only encountered opposition in the conventional farming community, but led to stigmatization of organic farmers as social deviants. In this study, we examine what kind of stigma management strategies pioneer organic farmers engage with in order to cultivate an alternative positive image of themselves. Our research is based on the interviews with 14 pioneer organic farmers. Based on a qualitative analysis of the interviews, we provide a model of those strategies that the creation from a stigmatized to valued identity requires. Our study increases the understanding of the institutio…

Mentālu slimību stigmatizācija un stigma attiecībā pret šizofrēnijas un depresijas pacientiem

2021

Stigma un stigmatizācija visā pasaulē ir aktuāla problēma jau kopš neatminamiem laikiem. Īpaši smaga stigmatizācija skar cilvēkus ar psihiskām saslimšanām. Un lai gan, garīgās veselības ārstēšanas un pakalpojumu kvalitāte un efektivitāte pēdējo 50 gadu laikā ir krietni uzlabojusies, terapeitiskās revolūcijas psihiatrijā līdz šim nav spējušas mazināt stigmu. Stigmas postošā ietekme kavē kvalitatīvu un savlaicīgas ārstēšanas iespējas un mazina iespēju, ka sirgstošais saņems atbilstošu aprūpi. Ir skaidrs, ka aizspriedumiem var būt postošas sekas (Shrivastava A., Johnston M & Bureau Y., 2012). Stigmatizācijai var būt kaitīgas sekas gan objektīvai, gan subjektīvai dzīves kvalitātei. Savu problēm…

Personāla stigmatizācija aprūpējot HIV pacientus Intensīvās terapijas nodaļās

2021

Bakalaura darba tēma “ Personāla stigmatizācija aprūpējot HIV pacientus Intensīvās terapijas nodaļās”. Darba mērķis ir izzināt un analizēt stigmatizācijas sastopamību Intensīvās terapijas nodaļās aprūpējot HIV pacientus. Pētījumā tika aptaujāti 62 medicīnas darbinieki vecumā no 21 līdz virs 60 gadiem. Darbā tika pielietota kvantitatīvā pētniecības metode – anketēšana. Bakalaura darbs sastāv no teorētiskās un pētnieciskās daļas, kā arī pielikumiem. Pirmajā nodaļā tiek aprakstīta HIV infekcija un HIV stigmatizācija un diskriminācija. Otrajā nodaļā tiek aprakstīts darba teorētiskais pielietojums, izmantojot J.Watson teoriju. Trešajā nodaļā ir aprakstīta pētījuma metodoloģija un iegūtie rezultā…

Children born of War and Social Trust - Analyzing Consequences of Rejection

2017

AbstractThis article examines the question whether rejection experiences negatively relate to the social trust of Children Born of War (CBOW) and if this connection is mediated by sense of self-worth. CBOW is a group of people born out of relations during war- and post-war times, involving one parent being a foreign soldier, a para-military officer, rebel or other person directly participating in the hostilities, while the other parent is a member of the native population. Also children born to child soldiers and children fathered by members of a peacekeeping troop are included within this group. These children, due to their biological background, often grow up in a surrounding in which the…

<p class="HeadingRunIn"><strong>Considerations on systematics of the Phytoseiidae (Acari: Mesostigmata), with definition of a new species…

2015

The authors debate some aspects of the classification of the Phytoseiidae, especially the subfamily Typhlodrominae. Within this taxon, the rhenanus group is the most numerous species group of Typhlodromus (Anthoseius), with 206 nominal species. Detailed observation of morphological characters of the species in this group showed a considerable variation, suggesting the presence of different natural lineages. The discovery of the new species here described, Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) sandrae Ragusa & Tsolakis n. sp., allowed the definition of the new porathi species group. Definition of the new species group, a dichotomous key as well as the description of the new species are given.

Influencia de los diferentes tipos de astigmatismo en la agudeza visual

2017

[EN] Purpose To investigate the change in visual acuity (VA) produced by different types of astigmatism (on the basis of the refractive power and position of the principal meridians) on normal accommodating eyes. Methods The lens induced method was employed to simulate a set of 28 astigmatic blur conditions on different healthy emmetropic eyes. Additionally, 24 values of spherical defocus were also simulated on the same eyes for comparison. VA was measured in each case and the results, expressed in logMAR units, were represented against of the modulus of the dioptric power vector (blur strength). Results LogMAR VA varies in a linear fashion with increasing astigmatic blur, being the slope o…

Visual acuity with computer simulated and lens-induced astigmatism

2014

[EN] The relationship between spherical and astigmatic refractive errors and their associated visual acuity is investigated in this work by means of two different approaches. In the first one, different refractive errors were induced in normal subjects by trial lenses. In the second one, defocused images were simulated numerically by the optical transfer function of a model eye and then judged by the same subjects. The amount of defocus (measured in terms of the modulus of the dioptric power vector) necessary to reduce the visual acuity to 0.1 logMAR and to 0.4 logMAR was computed with each method and then compared. We found that the visual system is clearly more tolerant to lens-induced de…

Abstract Objective To objectively measure and compare halo, flicker, and glare disability in pseudophakic eyes with monofocal (MONO) and multifocal (MULTI) intraocular lenses (IOLs) with respect to the influence of corneal surface quality, astigmatism, and age. Design Prospective case series. Participants This clinical trial involved 28 eyes of 28 patients after small-incision cataract surgery with a MONO silicone IOL and 28 eyes of 28 patients with zonal-progressive silicone IOL. Intervention A computer program objectively determined halo, glare, and flicker. Corneal surface quality and astigmatism were measured using computerized videokeratography. Ray-tracing analysis was performed based…
