A Native Taxonomy of Healing Among the Xinjiang Kazaks
Authors: Ank Kaǧan 
Published: November 2004

The nomadic Kazaks inhabiting Xinjiang Province, China, retain many aspects of their pre‐Islamic way of life, including the use of methods of traditional healing usually classified under the rubric of "shamanism." These practices are closely related to those in Kazakstan, Mongolia, and other parts of the former Soviet Union.The present study addresses aspects of traditional healing in use among the Xinjiang Kazaks in recent times, and presents a native taxonomy of these practices obtained during recent fieldwork in Xingjiang. Special attention is paid to the use of words, sound, and movement in healing contexts by elders and specialized individuals.
Pathologizing Possession: An Essay on Mind, Self, and Experience in Dissociation
Authors: Budden Ashwin 
Published: November 2004

In this paper, critique the classic psychoanalytic anthropological construal of dissociative spirit possession as a pathological phenomenon. I review some of the relevant theoretical and ethnographic literature on this subject but focus on the work of two prominent psychoanalytic anthropologists to explore divergent views of the psychological nature of pathological and religious experience. Emphasis is placed on the necessity for taking into account the culture specific factors that shape dissociative possession, particularly with regard to spiritual experiences. I also move beyond this view to an embodiment approach that is useful for analyzing the experiential ground of spirit possession, and thus for providing insight into how particular individual and cultural realities are constructed through dissociation. Key words: dissociation, embodiment, possession, psychoanalytic anthropology, self"Perception is never an absolute revelation of 'what is' " ‐A.l. Hallovvell (1955: 84)

Correlations between Reduction Strategies and Settlement Patterns
Authors: Henry Donald O. 
Published: November 2004

This paper describes the relationships observed between reduction sequences, distances to raw material sources, and settlement mobility. Alternative economizing measures are discussed. The traditional measure based upon a “distance decay” model is contrasted with economizing behaviors that were linked to finishing tools more completely near raw material sources and to curating blanks and tools. It is suggested that prehistoric groups selected these alternative means of economizing their use of raw material dependent upon the ultimate size contraints of the finished tools.Both qualitative and quantitative techniques for establishing the ranges of reduction sequences are described. Data sets from Epipaleolithic sites in southern Jordan and from Late Prehistoric sites in Oklahoma are used to define relationships between settlement patterns and lithic reduction strategies.
Identifying Style in Stone Artefacts: a Case Study from the Nile Valley
Authors: Close Angela E. 
Published: November 2004

This paper examines current theories of, and approaches to, style in flaked stone artefacts. In light of the simplicity of flaked stone artefacts and the more or less mixed nature of Stone Age assemblages of any size, it is concluded that, in this context, the most appropriate type of style is the subconscious variety that arises out of choices between functionally equivalent options, and that we should try to eliminate from consideration traits that represent either individual or deliberate stylistic input. For the Stone Age, style can usefully be pursued only at a fairly high level of social grouping.A case study of stylistic analysis is provided by Late Palaeolithic assemblages from the Nile Valley. These include the large series of sites from Wadi Kubbaniya, where several Late Palaeolithic “industries,” as traditionally defined, occur within a very confined geographical area and under well controlled and well dated stratigraphic conditions.

Technological Change as a Social Process: A Case Study of Office Automation in a Manufacturing Plant
Authors: Howard Robert , Schneider Leslie 
Published: November 2004

As new computer technology moves into more and more workplaces, the study of its potential impacts on workers and their work is becoming increasingly common. However, such research is often weakened by a too‐narrow conception of technology and technological change as primarily a technical issue. In fact, it is impossible to abstract the “impacts” of technology from the dense web of social relations and the complex milieu surrounding technology's design and use.this article describes a different approach to studying technological change as a social and cultural process. Using ethnographic principles and methods, it reports on the key social and organizational issues surrounding the implementation of a complex computer system at a small manufacturing plant. It also argues that this ethnographic approach has special promise for helping work organizations analyze and understand their experiences with technological change.
Glucose Level, Acculturation, and Glycosylated Hemoglobin: An Example of Biocultural Interaction
Authors: Szathmary Emöke J. E. , Ferrell R. E. 
Published: November 2004

Abnormal elevation of the 1c variety of normal hemoglobin A (%HbA1c) is used by clinicians to diagnose diabetes. As a measure of long‐term glucose status, %HbA1c may also be employed to indicate differences in mean glucose levels between populations. In a longitudinal study of the etiology of noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) in Amerindians, Dogrib adults living in several settlements in the Canadian Northwest Territories underwent oral glucose challenge. From the fasting blood samples, %HbA1c was determined to assess its utility in identifying diabetics and to determine the factors that influence its variation, as these may also be involved in the onset of NIDDM.The mean %HbA1c in the Dogrib sample is 4.73 ± .49. The upper 95% confidence limit is 5.68%, and values exceeding this level are abnormal. The disease sensitivity of this criterion is only 16%. Nevertheless, %HbA1c is correlated with fasting and hour‐2 glucose levels and is higher both in individuals with impaired glucose tolerance and in probable diabetics. The low level of % HbA1c in the Dogrib is the likely result of low carbohydrate intakes, given their continuing dependence on caribou hunting and fishing.%HbA1c level is influenced by log fasting triglyceride (LFT), age, and village of residence. %HbA1c is higher in the main Dogrib village than in the semi‐isolated settlements, even after %HbA1c is adjusted for LFT and age, and any one of caloric or carbohydrate intake, physical activity, and diabetic status. The difference in %HbA1c level parallels known differences between communities in acculturation‐influenced phenomena, including the direction of dietary shifts.

A Meta-Analysis of the Timing of Chest Irradiation in the Combined Modality Treatment of Limited-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer
Authors: Huncharek Michael , McGarry Ronald 
Published: November 2004

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine whether initial combined chemoradiation results in superior 1-, 2-, and 3-year survivals in the treatment of limited-stage small cell lung cancer versus sequential or split-course therapy. Using a prospective meta-analysis protocol outlining study inclusion criteria, literature search strategy, and statistical procedures, data from all available randomized controlled trials addressing the above-noted objective were pooled using a fixed effects model (Peto). Results were expressed as summary odds ratios (ORp), and statistical tests for data heterogeneity were performed prior to calculation of ORps. Odds ratios greater than 1.0 favored the experimental arm versus control (i.e., early chest irradiation). If statistical heterogeneity was demonstrated, sensitivity analyses were performed by previously described methods to evaluate possible sources of heterogeneity across the included studies. Pooling data from eight randomized controlled trials enrolling over 1,500 patients showed that early integration of chest radiotherapy with systemic chemotherapy increases overall survival by 34%–216%, depending on the end point of interest. Etoposide (E) plus cisplatin (P) in conjunction with chest irradiation appears to offer the greatest increase in survival versus delayed or split-course radiation therapy and non-EP-containing drug schedules. The available randomized trial data support early concurrent chest radiotherapy and systemic chemotherapy in the form of E and P in the management of limited-stage small cell lung cancer.
Subcellular accumulation of polychlorinated biphenyls in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Authors: Jabusch Thomas W , Swackhamer Deborah L 
Published: November 2004

Abstract
In this study, the subcellular accumulation of 13 polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners was investigated in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Two main arguments pertaining to the mechanism of bioaccumulation of persistent bioaccumulative toxic chemicals (PBTs) in phytoplankton were evaluated, including the controversy of whether the limitation of uptake of ultra-hydrophobic pollutants is kinetic or due to a physical barrier presented by the membrane that prevents transfer into the internal parts of the cell, and second, the role of surface adsorption for the bioaccumulation process. The first argument was addressed by studying the time-dependent subcellular uptake of PCBs into thylakoids (photosynthetic membranes) as representative internal membranes. The second issue was addressed by investigating the role of the algal cell wall as a potential extracellular sorbate. Accumulation of PCBs in thylakoids was found to be limited kinetically and slow compared to total accumulation in the alga. Super-hydrophobic PCBs with Kow &gt; 6 were not restricted from entering the cell. Sorption to the cell wall was found to be less than 10% and insignificant compared to total bioaccumulation in C. reinhardtii. To our knowledge, this is the first study in which the subcellular uptake of a class of PBTs was investigated directly. The results offer a mechanistic framework for improving kinetic modeling of PBT bioaccumulation in phytoplankton.
Assessment of the toxicity of triasulfuron and its photoproducts using aquatic organisms
Authors: Vulliet Emmanuelle , Emmelin Corinne , Chovelon Jean-Marc , Chouteau Céline , Clement Bernard 
Published: November 2004

Abstract
The toxicological effects of the sulfonylurea herbicide triasulfuron and its photoproducts were assessed on four aquatic organisms. Toxicity varied with tested organism and with triasulfuron irradiation time. Triasulfuron and its photoproducts had no significant effects on the crustacean (Cladocera) Daphnia magna (causing 50% effective concentration [EC50] [48 h] = 49 ± 1 mg/L) and the marine bacteria Vibrio fischeri (EC50 [30 min] &gt; 100 mg/L). In contrast, primary producers (the duckweed Lemna minor, the microalgae Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, and Chlorella vulgaris) were very sensitive to triasulfuron (EC50s &lt; 11 μg/L). For these organisms, triasulfuron photoproducts were less toxic than the parent compound but the residual toxicity observed still represented a potential environmental hazard.
Copper toxicity in relation to surface water-dissolved organic matter: Biological effects to Daphnia magna
Authors: Kramer Kees J.M , Jak Robbert G , van Hattum Bert , Hooftman Ria N , Zwolsman John J.G 
Published: November 2004

Abstract
Water quality standards for copper are usually stated in total element concentrations. It is known, however, that a major part of the copper can be bound in complexes that are biologically not available. Natural organic matter, such as humic and fulvic acids, are strong complexing agents that may affect the bioavailable copper (Cu2+) concentration. The aim of this study was to quantify the relation between the concentration of dissolved natural organic matter and free Cu2+ in surface waters, and the biological effect, as measured in a standardized ecotoxicological test (48 h-median effective concentration [EC50] Daphnia magna, mobility). Six typical Dutch surface waters and an artificial water, ranging from 0.1 to 22 mg/L dissolved organic carbon (DOC), were collected and analyzed quarterly. Chemical speciation modeling was used as supporting evidence to assess bioavailability. The results show clear evidence of a linear relation between the concentration of dissolved organic carbon (in milligrams DOC/L) and the ecotoxicological effect (as effect concentration, EC50, expressed as micrograms Cu/L): 48-h EC50 (Daphnia, mobility) = 17.2 × DOC + 30.2 (r2 = 0.80, n = 22). Except for a brook with atypical water quality characteristics, no differences were observed among water type or season. When ultraviolet (UV)-absorption (380 nm) was used to characterize the dissolved organic carbon, a linear correlation was found as well. The importance of the free copper concentration was demonstrated by speciation calculations: In humic-rich waters the free Cu2+ concentration was estimated at ≈10−11 M, whereas in medium to low dissolved organic carbon waters the [Cu2+] was ≈10−10 M. Speciation calculations performed for copper concentrations at the effective concentration level (where the biological effect is considered the same) resulted in very similar free copper concentrations (≈10−8 M Cu) in these surface waters with different characteristics. These observations consistently show that the presence of organic matter decreases the bioavailability, uptake, and ecotoxicity of copper in the aquatic environment. It demonstrates that the DOC content must be included in site-specific environmental risk assessment for trace metals (at least for copper). It is the quantification of the effects described that allows policy makers to review the criteria for copper in surface waters.
