La radio entre la información y el entretenimiento. Radio 10 y Cadena Ser
Authors: González Conde María Julia
Published: July 2015

El objetivo de este artículo es comprobar las diferencias de estilo entre dos programas estrella de la radio argentina y española, pertenecientes a dos de las emisoras generalistas privadas, más importantes de cada uno de estos países. Se trata de los magacines matinales “El Oro y el Moro”, de Radio 10, y “Hoy por Hoy” de la Cadena Ser. Obviaremos el nombre de sus presentadores y periodistas para no entrar en personalismos y en su particular forma de hacer radio, aunque queremos señalar su maestría y dominio de sus actitudes y aptitudes hacia una audiencia que les sigue allá donde quisieran ir. Sin embargo, aquí nos interesa centrarnos en el producto de un trabajo radiofónico, que es fruto de un estilo identificativo y una estructura formal peculiar, que va más allá de la ideología y editorial del medio, para ceñirse en unos mismos parámetros, la información y el entretenimiento, aunque desde dos perspectivas, creemos que distintas, la seriedad y/o el espectáculo. Dos formas diversas de realizar un mismo producto radiofónico o modos distintos de entender la radio, de presentar su lenguaje, acercarse a su audiencia, y, en definida, convertirse en magacines estrella.

Authors: Martins Joana Dourado , Mascarenhas Andrade Jarielle Oliveira , Freitas Valéria Souza , Araújo Tânia Maria
Published: July 2015

Objetivo O objetivo deste artigo é revisar a literatura sobre os determinantes sociais de saúde e sua associação com o desenvolvimento do câncer oral.

Métodos A busca sistemática foi realizada na base de dados eletrônica Pubmed para acessar artigos relevantes publicados de todos os anos disponíveis até 2012. Listas de referências dos artigos selecionados foram examinadas para identificar artigos adicionais. Vinte e um artigos foram incluídos no estudo.

Resultados Apesar das dificuldades em fazer comparações entre os artigos, devido à falta de uniformidade na definição dos determinantes sociais da saúde e do pequeno número de publicações sobre o assunto, os resultados mostraram uma forte associação entre privação social, status socioeconômico e renda, educação e ocupação com câncer oral.

Conclusão É importante que novos trabalhos sejam realizados visando estudar com mais profundidade essa associação, compreender melhor a ocorrência do câncer oral e a sua prevenção. Além disso, é necessária a elaboração de políticas sociais com vistas à melhoria das condições de vida da população, uma vez que, os resultados evidenciam que melhores condições de vida constituem fator de proteção para o câncer oral.

Infection by Coxiella burnetii in a patient from a rural area of Monteria, Colombia
Authors: Mattar V Salim , Contreras C Verónica , Gonzalez T Marco , Camargo Francisco , Alvarez Jaime , Oteo R José
Published: July 2015

Q fever is a zoonosis caused by Coxiella burnetii. In Colombia, there have been very few human cases reported to date. This report describes the case of a 56-year-old patient with a background in agriculture and livestock handling. An indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) showed high titers of IgG for C. burnetii anti-phase I (1: 256) and anti-phase II (1:1024). For the next six months the patient’s IgG antibody titers remained high, and, after treatment with doxycycline, the IgG antibody titers decreased to 50 % (anti-phase I 1:128 and anti-phase II 1:512); this profile suggests an infection of C. burnetii.

A nemi dysphoria jogi vonatkozásai és a kezelés folyamata Magyarországon
Authors: Kórász Krisztián
Published: July 2015

The legal process of gender transition in Hungary had previously been more developed as in most European countries, as the law enabled transsexual people to change their name and gender before or without a medical treatment, which was unique at the time. Over the years, however, lots of European countries developed legal frameworks and accepted international standards of care for the treatment of gender dysphoria that Hungary did not follow. Currently in Hungary there is no consistent legal framework of gender transition, there is no official regulation or guidelines regarding gender transition process, no institution with the obligation to accommodate the process, and there is no nominated specialist in the state health care system whose remit included dealing with transsexual patients. The information on gender transition options both to the professionals and to the patients is limited and incoherent. This paper reviews the legal aspects and clinical management process of gender dysphoria in Hungary. Some issues regarding the Hungarian practice and possible solutions based on examples from the United Kingdom are addressed within the paper. Orv. Hetil., 2015, 156(30), 1214–1220.

Introduction.

Cardiotoxicity represents a major limitation for the use of anthracyclines or trastuzumab in breast cancer patients. Data from longitudinal studies of diastolic dysfunction (DD) in this group of patients are scarce. The objective of the present study was to assess the incidence, evolution, and predictors of DD in patients with breast cancer treated with anthracyclines.

Methods.

This analytical, observational cohort study comprised 100 consecutive patients receiving anthracycline-based chemotherapy (CHT) for breast cancer. All patients underwent clinical evaluation, echocardiogram, and measurement of cardiac biomarkers at baseline, end of anthracycline-based CHT, and at 3 months and 9 months after anthracycline-based CHT was completed. Fifteen patients receiving trastuzumab were followed with two additional visits at 6 and 12 months after the last dose of anthracycline-based CHT. A multivariate analysis was performed to find variables related to the development of DD. Fifteen of the 100 patients had baseline DD and were excluded from this analysis.

Results.

At the end of follow-up (median: 12 months, interquartile range: 11.1–12.8), 49 patients (57.6%) developed DD. DD was persistent in 36 (73%) but reversible in the remaining 13 patients (27%). Four patients developed cardiotoxicity (three patients had left ventricular systolic dysfunction and one suffered a sudden cardiac death). None of the patients with normal diastolic function developed systolic dysfunction during follow-up. In the logistic regression model, body mass index (BMI) and age were independently related to the development of DD, with the following odds ratio values: BMI: 1.19 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.04–1.36), and age: 1.12 (95% CI: 1.03–1.19). Neither cardiac biomarkers nor remaining clinical variables were predictors of DD.

Conclusion.

Development of diastolic dysfunction after treatment with anthracycline or anthracycline- plus trastuzumab chemotherapy is common. BMI and age were independently associated with DD following anthracycline chemotherapy.

Implications for Practice:

This study characterizes the incidence of diastolic dysfunction in a cohort of patients undergoing anthracycline treatment. The incidence of diastolic dysfunction during follow-up was 57% and persisted at the last follow-up visit in 73% of patients. Age and body mass index were found to be independent predictors of anthracycline-related diastolic dysfunction. These findings may help identify patients at higher risk for developing a clinically relevant anthracycline cardiotoxicity from those at lower risk and to differentiate monitoring programs for breast cancer patients according to their risk.
A model for designing the tendering process in public–private partnerships
Authors: Carbonara Nunzia , Costantino Nicola , Pellegrino Roberta
Published: July 2015

The present study aimed to develop a decision model for choosing the tendering procedure in public–private partnerships that minimises the transaction costs borne by the public sector. With this aim, a baseline conceptual model that relates the level of transaction costs and the information managed during the tendering process and identifies the tendering procedure that minimises the transaction costs has been developed. The application of the proposed conceptual model to contexts characterised by different values of project size, project complexity and number of bidders reveals that the choice of the tendering procedure is strongly affected by these factors. The approach developed provides a new conceptual tool to support the contracting authority in the design and choice of the tendering procedures in public–private partnerships.

Schoolchildren’s Expectations from Their First Employment
Authors: Yuzhaninova Aleksandra
Published: July 2015

The paper analyzes the expectations Russian 9th graders have about their first employment: when they are going to start working, whether they believe that work should first of all be highly paid or find self-realization in work more important, etc. The empirical basis is the first phase of the longitudinal studies initiated by NRU HSE in 2010 as part of the project ‘Monitoring educational and employment trajectories of school and higher education institution graduates’. The survey involved 9th grade students who took the TIMSS-2011 international test in 2010–2011 (3,797 students from 41 regions of Russia) and their parents. Logistic regression is used to build models where the dependable variable is school children’s expectations about their future employment and the independent variable is groups of factors accounting for family background, cultural capital and personality traits of respondents. Family characteristics turned out to determine students’ expectations much less than personality traits, especially the self-assessment level. Besides, parental preferences about their children’s future employment have no impact on students’ opinion. The author suggests that the following phase of the study should be used to evaluate realization of schoolchildren’s predictions about when they were going to start working and whether they were going to continue their school education, as well as to assess the changes in the value systems held by students and their parents in forming their expectations.
The h-Index in the Russian Science Citation Index
Authors: Bolotov Viktor , Kvelidze-Kuznetsova Natela , Laptev Vladimir , Morozova Svetlana
Published: July 2015

The recent years have witnessed using numerical measurements of research work, apart from the indicator of financial and administrative support and that of educational activities, as a rating and monitoring criterion in assessing performance of higher education institutions and scientific organizations. Assessment of research performance through calculations is unfamiliar to the Russian academic community and is often misunderstood or even rejected. The authors analyze the h-index, an index of published work productivity, considering it to be the most appropriate scientometric indicator that allows to smooth over many drawbacks of assessing research achievements by mere calculation of the number of published works or citations. The authors also discuss using Web of Science and Scopus scientometric platforms to assess research productivity of Russian scientists. There are two reasons why using them sometimes provides information that is imprecise or incomplete: a) only works published in English are taken into account, and b) mostly natural science journals are selected. The paper demonstrates how the h-index is currently calculated in the Russian Science Citation Index and how the indices can be optimized after processing the existing RSCI data files and adding new data. Based on the experiment of calculating the h-index for three authors on the RSCI platform, the authors of the paper have come to the conclusion that quantitative research assessment techniques will most often be non-objective and may only be applied together with expert opinions.
Pre-Revolutionary School in the Urals. A review of the book: Yegorova M. (2008) Povsednevnaya zhizn’ uchashchikhsya i uchiteley Urala v XIX — nachale XX v. [Everyday Life of Students and Teachers in the Urals in the 19th — Early 20th Centuries]. Moscow: Pamyatniki istoricheskoy mysli.
Authors: Lyubzhin Aleksey
Published: July 2015

By analyzing the research devoted to secondary educational institutions in the Urals, the author speculates on the preferred structure of historical books intended for mass consumption. He believes that this oeuvre provides clear examples of literacy tests for teachers, their financial situation, their relationship with the government, as well as activities of teachers’ corporations, children’s living conditions, their life in and out of school, life of school employees, and other aspects of school education in the Urals a century ago. The conclusion that comes from the historical evidence provided is quite unambiguous: teaching activities of the time were characterized by attention towards students’ individual needs and qualities, by care about their physical and emotional health, and by a savor of good nature and patriarchal cordiality engrained in the whole gymnasium system. Regional specifics of Ural secondary educational system is studied through experts’ evaluations, as there are almost no relevant historical materials left. In terms of social differentiation, the student body in the Urals was largely homogeneous, which was quite in line with the overall historical trend of speedy secondary school democratization across the Russian Empire in the second half of the 19th century. The author argues that the picture revealed by this study is unbiased and in accord with the real state of things, and that it will help the reader learn more about life in the Russian Empire viewed by most people through Soviet-inherited prejudice instead of direct knowledge.
On the New General Psychology of Education
Authors: Guruzhapov Viktor
Published: July 2015

This is an analysis of general psychological education for future teachers in the context of the need to implement the second generation Federal State Learning Standard of General Education. The author believes that delivering the theory of general psychology plays little role in building psychological competence of teachers; he suggests developing a modern general psychology of education. Cultural and historical psychology serves a precursor for this in Russian science. The author draws most of the attention to “Lectures on General Psychology” by V. Davydov, whose approach is unique in that he analyzes inherently human behavior based first of all on historical experience of reative learning and transformation of reality by people. V. Davydov gives a precise definition of learning through the original activity approach. Learning is not confined to acquiring knowledge and skills; it s also a labor, a collective activity that includes an object and instruments, apart from the subject. That’s why general psychology of education should not only analyze forms of interaction between subjects of learning, but also describe psychological nature of a) tools of learning as a collective labor, and b) the process of building content of education. The new general psychology of education is regarded by the author as a phenomenology of developing a human view of the world in conditions of consistent teaching and education. To illustrate his point, the author analyzes the nature of school students’ need for theoretical knowledge by integrating the ideas of developmental teaching and Maslow’s “ideal college”. The paper promotes the idea of preserving the “inertia of students’ thoughts and feelings about theoretical objects” as a strategic mission of a developmental teacher.
Constructing “Ideal Victim” Stories of Bosnian War Survivors
Authors: Basic Goran
Published: July 2015

Previous research on victimhood during and after the Bosnian war has emphasized the importance of narratives but has not focused on narratives about victimhood or analyzed post-war interviews as a competition for victimhood. This article tries to fill this gap using stories told by survivors of the Bosnian war during the 1990s. In this analysis of the retold experiences of 27 survivors of the war in northwestern Bosnia, the aim is to describe the informants’ portrayal of “victimhood” as a social phenomenon as well as analyzing the discursive patterns that contribute to constructing the category “victim”. When, after the war, different categories claim a “victim” status, it sparks a competition for victimhood. All informants are eager to present themselves as victims while at the same time the other categories’ victim status are downplayed. In this reproduction of competition for the victim role, all demarcations that were played out so successfully during the war live on.
Native Americans in Cold War Public Diplomacy: Indian Politics, American History, and the US Information Agency
Authors: Denson Andrew
Published: July 2015

This essay examines the depiction of Native Americans by the US Information Agency (USIA), the bureau charged with explaining American politics to the international public during the Cold War. In the 1950s and 1960s, the USIA broadcast the message that Americans had begun to acknowledge their nation's history of conquest and were working to redress old wrongs through an activist government. That message echoed the agency's depiction of the African American Civil Rights Movement and allowed the USIA to recognize Indian resistance to assimilation. It offered little room for tribal nationhood, however, during these early years of the modern American Indian political revival.
The Coercive Sterilization of Aboriginal Women in Canada
Authors: Stote Karen
Published: July 2015

This paper considers the coercive sterilization of Aboriginal women in legislated and non-legislated form in Canada. I provide an historical and materialist critique of coercive sterilization. I argue for coercive sterilization to be understood as one of many policies employed to undermine Aboriginal women, to separate Aboriginal peoples from their lands and resources, and to reduce the numbers of those to whom the federal government has obligations. I show how the effects of the sterilization of Aboriginal women, whether intended or not, are in line with past Indian policy and serve the political and economic interests of Canada.
Native American Student Participation in Study Abroad: An Exploratory Case Study
Authors: Wanger Stephen , Minthorn Robin , Weinland Kathryn , Appleman Boomer , James Michael , Arnold Allen
Published: July 2015

This exploratory case study examines the participation of Native American students in study abroad and institutional policies and practices that either impede or enhance participation. The study surveys all Native students enrolled at the American university that produces the most Native graduates with bachelor's degrees. Although Native students value the benefits of study abroad, the study finds that they face a unique confluence of factors that limit participation. The role of Native students' social networks (family, tribal members, friends, Native advisors) is found to be prominent in deliberations about participation. Social capital theory is employed for analysis of the findings.
"Between the Heavens and the Earth": Narrating the Execution of Moses Paul
Authors: Salyer Matt
Published: July 2015

The 1772 execution of the Mohegan sailor Moses Paul served as the occasion for Samson Occom's popular Sermon, reprinted in numerous editions. Recent work by Ava Chamberlain seeks to recover Paul's version of events from contemporary court records. This article argues that Paul's "firsthand" account of the case and autobiographical narrative submitted in his appeal illustrate the importance of approaching confessional texts such as Paul's as fundamentally coauthored documents. I argue that both Occom's Sermon and Paul's Petition, which was cowritten with his attorney William Samuel Johnson, construct mediated, communal definitions of "Indianness" and provide an unintentional space for individual narrative autonomy.
The Circulation and Silence of Weaving Knowledge in Contemporary Navajo Life
Authors: Yohe Jill
Published: July 2015

This article draws upon ethnographic fieldwork within a Navajo community to illustrate how weaving knowledge and practices shape contemporary notions of community identity and belonging. The ongoing exchange of Navajo weaving taboos and the careful management of weaving teachings offers community members various opportunities to share and keep certain kinds of information in and out of circulation. The flow of such knowledge provides a productive context for community members to voice their ideas and opinions about a range of topics, including concepts of inalienable patrimony, reciprocity, qualities of personhood and prized personal characteristics, and the exchange of knowledge more generally.
Indigenous Perceptions of Time: Decolonizing Theory, World History, and the Fates of Human Societies
Authors: Killsback Leo
Published: July 2015

In this article, I discuss how indigenous understandings of time can contribute to broader studies of human societies, civilizations, and world history. Colonial paradigms have extended into the realm of world history and assumptions of human behavior have been unfairly applied to all human societies and labeled humans as aggressors against nature and each other. This is unjust especially to the populations that remain victims of colonialism and imperialism. I have developed or, put more appropriately, revealed an indigenous historical paradigm that can be applied to the study of human societies, but my primary goal is to provide a model that links indigenous histories in comparative studies of humans and human societies. To provide an adequate discussion of this model, I use examples from two indigenous societies (Maya and Hopi) to develop my thesis, and two other indigenous societies (Haudenosaunee and Cheyenne) for evaluation under this thesis. I conclude with a final discussion of Christian societies and their place in an indigenous view of world history.
What Is Settler Colonialism? (for Leo Delano Ames Jr.)
Authors: Mikdashi Maya
Published: July 2015

The question that titles this article is deceptively simple. It invites answers that do not, and cannot, exist. One can only address the remainder of a settler colonial project, particularly one as successful as the United States. It is impossible to write about that which cannot be known, and yet there is an ethical imperative to do so. In looking for answers to the question of settler colonialism, I have only a narrative, one that tries to resist the seduction of identity-based claims and yet writes through and pauses on identity's shadows, reversals, and ambivalences. The intimacy and obligation of what Gayatri Spivak has called ghostwriting, and the expectation of failure entailed within it, animates this piece of writing. The ghosts here are not only my grandfather, his mother, or my Native American and Palestinian comrades, family members, and loved ones. The ghosts are everything that happens in the act of writing itself, the affective registers of documenting, living, dying, and struggling with the question and the successes of settler colonialism.
All the Eagles and the Ravens in the House Say Yeah: (Ab)original Hip-Hop, Heritage, and Love
Authors: Amsterdam Lauren
Published: July 2015

This paper explores how hip-hop artists mobilize sound and style to manage loss, build new futures, and create resilient communities. Embracing an "untraditional" medium, young people contest settler violence and hegemonies of shame by expressing unique, politicized possibilities of being Indigenous, or what I am calling (ab)originality: a style of being first, fresh, and foremost. Heritage is an act of reverent rebellion: an individual honors continuity, but defies the trappings of tradition, which shackle Indigeneity to the geography and the customs of the past. Through love and creativity, artists claim visibility, voice, and everywhere.
Challenging Settler Colonialism in Contemporary Queer Politics: Settler Homonationalism, Pride Toronto, and Two-Spirit Subjectivities
Authors: Greensmith Cameron , Giwa Sulaimon
Published: July 2015

By centralizing the experiences of seven, urban, self-identified Two-Spirit Indigenous people in Toronto, this paper addresses the settler-colonial complexities that arise within contemporary queer politics: how settler colonialism has seeped into Pride Toronto's contemporary Queer politics to normalize White queer settler subjectivities and disavow Indigenous Two-Spirit subjectivities. Utilizing Morgensen's settler homonationalism, the authors underscore that contemporary Queer politics in Canada rely on the eroticization of Two-Spirit subjectivities, Queer settler violence, and the production of (White) Queer narratives of belonging that simultaneously promote the inclusion and erasure of Indigenous presence. Notwithstanding Queer settler-colonial violence, Two-Spirit peoples continue to engage in settler resistance by taking part in Pride Toronto and problematizing contemporary manifestations of settler homonationalism. Findings highlight the importance of challenging the workings of settler colonialism within contemporary Queer politics in Canada, and addressing the tenuous involvements of Indigenous Two-Spirit peoples within Pride festivals. The article challenges non-Indigenous Queers of color, racialized diasporic, and White, to consider the value of a future that takes seriously the conditions of settler colonialism and White supremacy.

Published: July 2015

This article examines the development of leadership skills among Native American college students through the Oklahoma Native American Students in Higher Education (ONASHE) annual conference. It provides opportunities for students to develop and strengthen their leadership skills through interaction with tribal leaders, contemporary and leadership focused workshops, and fellowship with other Native students. A research study was designed to assess the impact of ONASHE on the development of leadership skills among student attendees of the conference. Three major themes emerged regarding Native student leadership development, including developing a positive self-image, community building, and Native role models.
Introduction: Reducing Barriers to Native American Student Success in Higher Education: Challenges and Best Practices
Authors: Collins Robert
Published: July 2015

What barriers do Native American and Alaskan Native students face in higher education? How are these barriers to student success being addressed theoretically and practically? To engage these questions, this special issue of the American Indian Culture and Research Journal seeks to open this dialogue and create a compilation that professors and service providers may use to enhance American Indian studies and other academic curricula. Contributors to this special issue explore a broad range of educational, cultural competence, mental health, advocacy, and efficacy concerns.

American Indian Land Rights, Rich Indian Racism, and Newspaper Coverage in New York State, 1988-2008
Authors: Flaherty Anne
Published: July 2015

Recent scholarship argues that American Indian political activities are increasingly being understood in the context of gaming and that a growing "rich Indian racism" portrays American Indian nations as rich, greedy, and inauthentic. This article analyzes newspaper coverage on American Indian land claims to test the proposition of rich Indian racism. Data on national coverage show that language that references gaming has characterized much of the reporting on land claims. An analysis of newspaper coverage of land claims in central New York reveals a tendency to describe and characterize American Indian nations and their claims negatively, as greedy, threatening, or unfair.

Preventing Cardiovascular Disease in Native Communities: The Traditional Living Challenge
Authors: Dupuis Anita , Ritenbaugh Cheryl
Published: July 2015

Many of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) are preventable, which indicates that lifestyle is a key risk factor. Behavioral change interventions attempted with AI/ANs that focus on lifestyle have begun to incorporate Native cultural traditions, or cultural capital. This article discusses one such Native-based intervention conducted on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana, which used cultural capital as the foundation for an intervention to address risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Called the Traditional Living Challenge, the specific purpose of the intervention was to revitalize community initiatives toward wellness through a cultural immersion experience, which replicated a former healthier lifestyle and diet. The long-term goal was for the cultural immersion intervention to foster personal and group motivation toward a commitment to wellness.

To implement the project, the researchers developed collaborations among the tribal health department, cultural leaders, the tribal council, and various relevant tribal units. The researchers identified participants across various age ranges by involving whole families in the intervention. They also identified a broad range of community-based resources and opportunities to support ongoing lifestyle changes and developed a number of cardiovascular disease risk outcome measures that would be appropriate for use in this community.
Beyond Cultural Competency: Skill, Reflexivity, and Structure in Successful Tribal Health Care
Authors: Smith-Morris Carolyn , Epstein Jenny
Published: July 2015

As notions of cultural competency have risen to prominence in health care, some of our most powerful models and strategies come from successful tribal health care. In this chapter, we deconstruct notions of cultural competency, rebuilding this important aspect of medical practice under Bourdieu's model of reflexivity (1986). We outline a critical discourse of cultural competency based on a processual (and distinctively anthropological) model. In promoting several specific strategies for culturally competent care, we point to the assumptions regarding the boundedness and neutrality of culture within biomedical practice as well as the authority and power structures through which competency is determined. We offer two case studies: one, an examination of a community-based ambulatory care practice; the second, a consideration of both practitioners' and institutions' use of cultural capital in addressing the community they serve. We promote a reflexive form of culturally competent care that goes beyond "cookbook" uses of cultural capital to move toward an engaged and structurally flexible approach, one that allows the blending of biomedical paradigms with patient culture and history.
Undam It? Klamath Tribes, Social Ecological Systems, and Economic Impacts of River Restoration
Authors: Saulters Oral
Published: July 2015

This study explores the complex cultural, environmental, and economic forces that converge in the United States' Klamath River Basin, also addressing potential solutions. With watershed modifications and construction of dams in the early-twentieth century, ecosystems have been adversely impacted, creating significant challenges for tribes and wildlife, including fish populations. Competing interests and shifting policy priorities have contributed to a highly contested landscape that may be moving toward more sustainable development. Indigenous communities are playing a central role in moving away from long-term conflict among diverse stakeholders over fish and water resources and toward more recent collaborative efforts in planning one of the largest dam removals in history.

Two crucial questions are addressed in this paper: (1) What key factors influence environmental governance? and (2) How might proposed dam removal impact socioeconomic conditions? After a brief literature review regarding spatiotemporal conditions, I employ the Social Ecological Systems (SES) framework developed by Ostrom, together with a general economic evaluation, to provide an important preliminary step toward characterizing the multifaceted and interdependent issues. Meaningful variables are identified by unpacking the interactions of governance institutions, actors, and resources within nested settings. Findings from the benefit-cost analysis suggest that the net economic benefits from deconstruction and river restoration may be between $14 to $82 billion. Finally, I recommend further research and use of the Integrative Dam Assessment Modeling (IDAM) tool.
Native American Cultural Capital and Business Strategy: The Culture-of-Origin Effect
Authors: Stewart Daniel , Gladstone Joseph , Verbos Amy , Katragadda Manasi
Published: July 2015

This commentary examines the use of American Indian culture in the strategic marketing of goods and services produced from within the American Indian community. Building on concepts from multiple academic disciplines, we introduce a new construct for this practice: the "culture-of-origin" effect. Specifically, the culture-of-origin effect is the strategic use of one's cultural identity as a resource that increases the value of one's products. Moreover, we explore the ethical ramifications of exploiting one's cultural identity for capital gain by highlighting the quandary that emerges when individuals seek to profit from a resource (cultural capital) that belongs collectively to the tribe.
The Changing Landscape of Health Care Provision to American Indian Nations
Authors: Rainie Stephanie , Jorgensen Miriam , Cornell Stephen , Arsenault Jaime
Published: July 2015

Health service provision has been an aspect of indigenous-United States relationships for over two hundred years, yet America's First Peoples continue to suffer from poor health outcomes when compared with other racial or ethnic groups in the United States. An important change over recent decades is that more and more tribes are managing their own health care services—a realignment of administration and authority that has the potential to substantially improve American Indian and Alaska Native health in years to come. This paper describes the history of health care provision to federally recognized American Indian tribes. It continues by documenting the sparse research literature on tribal management of health care services and identifying information still needed to bring knowledge of this topic up-to-date. Five challenges for tribal management of health-care services that should be considered by tribes and policymakers in their health-care efforts and brought to bear on future research are discussed. By addressing both tribal control of health-care services and the role of tribes in changes to federally provided health care, this paper adds the lens of tribal sovereignty to current discussions of the history and policy context for American Indian and Alaska Native health.
