This paper develops the concept of reproductive governance as an analytic tool for tracing shifting political rationalities population and reproduction. As advanced here, refers to mechanisms through which different historical configurations actors – such state, religious, international financial institutions, NGOs, social movements use legislative controls, economic inducements, moral injunctions, direct coercion, ethical incitements produce, monitor, control behaviours practices.

Entanglement is a key concept in contemporary anthropology and science technology studies. By tracing the contingent uncertain relations that endow objects with seemingly stable boundaries, entanglement allows us to see how such boundaries restrict our ability know world better. This article examines of context life working-class Mexico City neighborhood, Colonia Periférico, longitudinal environmental health project studies neighborhood’s residents. While has its uses, bodies globalizing...
Purpose The Early Life Exposure in Mexico to ENvironmental Toxicants (ELEMENT) Project is a mother–child pregnancy and birth cohort originally initiated the mid-1990s explore: (1) whether enhanced mobilisation of lead from maternal bone stores during poses risk fetal subsequent offspring neurodevelopment; (2) calcium supplementation lactation can suppress mitigate adverse effects exposure on health development. Through utilisation carefully archived biospecimens measure other prenatal...
This special issue of Body & Society brings together articles that describe contemporary forms bio-medical travel. The conjuncture mobility and bodily states occurs at a particular epistemic moment: the first decades 21st century, when medical travels travelers are participating in border crossings as self-consciously biological beings, life, health sickness, survival death, central to subject formation, ethical practice, political struggle, regulation governance. In last several decades,...
Interview with Dr. Daphna Stroumsa on the limitations of classification systems in health care and their potential effects patients. (10:36)Download A 32-year-old transgender man, presenting severe lower abdominal pain hypertension, is classified as a man who hasn’t taken his blood-pressure medications. When examined several hours later, he’s found to be pregnant, but no fetal heartbeat can detected.
Through ethnographic comparison with Ecuador, I localize North American and European ethical debates about embryos. In some in vitro fertilization (IVF) practitioners patients do whatever they can to preserve the life of embryos through donation or cryopreservation. For this group, are embroiled life, as commonly America. However, other Ecuadorians not view life. Instead, these IVF let die rather than freeze them, regulate legitimate bounds kin relations. These contrasting models ethics...
The role of men in the childbearing decision process and factors that influence men's intentions have been relatively unexplored literature. This study aimed to describe strongly differences these according age group. A telephone survey (response rate 84%) was conducted with 495 between ages 20 45 living an urban setting who, at time contact, did not biological children. Men were asked about what their intention Univariable multivariable logistic regressions determine if significantly...
ABSTRACT In this article, I describe my ongoing bioethnographic collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of exposure scientists in environmental engineering and health. First, explain how why integrating ethnography number‐based disciplines is such complex, time‐consuming, worthwhile process, when produces kind excessive “big data” that not easily enumerated. Then three our current projects seek to make better numbers about (1) neighborhoods, (2) water distribution, (3) employment...
Relations between cognitive development in infancy and early childhood, parental education were examined. Previous research has found little association measures of the parenting environment, including socio-economic status (SES), infants children under 2 years age. However, earlier studies may not have reliably measured individual differences abilities, thus, there is uncertainty as to what age elements environment affect development. Seventy-six tested on a range tasks at 3-month intervals...
In E cuador, reproductive assistance, whether from G od, extended family, or medical technologies, is emphasized and desirable in a precarious unequal world with minimal social safety net chronic economic insecurity. Assistance the very grounds of being. better‐resourced realities like parts U nited S tates, assisted technologies can trouble biological autonomy individual heterosexual couples. Juxtaposing reproduction these divergent sites demonstrates that resources make easier to establish...
Despite continued calls to increase the monitoring of drinking water systems, few communities and utilities have adopted modern, distributed, real-time systems. Measurements quality are often only made at treatment plant, with limited grab sampling taking place throughout distribution system. At building level, where most public's exposure takes place, capacity make continuous measurements characterize dynamics has been almost impossible. Innovation in sensors, microcontrollers, data...
In the face of water scarcity due to climate change and population growth, cities around world, especially in Global South, increasingly provide intermittent, rather than continuous, supply. Because an intermittent supply has negative effects on infrastructure quality, literature often recommends transition continuous supply, but that may be unfeasible or cost-prohibitive for many cities. There are few policy recommendations ensuring safe equitable urban access within water-scarce systems....
Abstract Historically, there have been two competing goals of probation: law enforcement and rehabilitation the offender. Accordingly, role, functions, tasks probation officers are at times in conflict. In this paper we explore roles adult juvenile compare their statutorily prescribed duties. so doing attempt to uncover what differences exist between officers. We conclude that no appreciable orientation (either or rehabilitation) mandated perform. Moreover, task (adult juvenile) is slanted...
Resumen En Ecuador, las mujeres de clase media, y cada vez más obrera, pagan gustosamente por tener una cicatriz. Las cesáreas que se hacen en clínicas privadas les deja cicatriz es la marca aquellas no están sujetas al uso indigno los devaluados servicios salud pública. No afirmar ciudadanía per lo estas buscan con cicatrices, ya Ecuador particularmente denigrada el ámbito médico. Esta bien signo posibilidad diferenciarse masas gobernadas, quienes necesitan hacer demandas ciudadanas...
This commentary calls on medical anthropology to become programmatically non-secular. Despite recent anthropological critiques of secularity, within and outside anthropology, most contemporary anthropologists continue leave deities religiosity out their examinations healing practices, especially in accounts biomedicine. Through a critical, relational constructionist lens, which traces how all entities are both constructed real, non-secular would insist that when part practice, they integral...
Introduction Association between parent's Body Mass Index (BMI) and their children, has been widely documented. Individual, familiar structural factors play a role in this relation. We analyzed the association maternal BMI change during first year post-partum offspring's growth-trajectories energy intake five years of life. Objective Compare children's caloric according to mother´s classification. Methods The anthropometric assessment was taken 935 mother-child pairs along study period....
Objective/Background Self-reported sleep difficulties, such as insomnia symptoms, have been reported among adolescents. Yet, studies of their prevalence and correlates are scarce Latin Americans. This study sought (1) to describe associations between sociodemographic lifestyle factors with self-reported difficulties (2) examine actigraphy-based sleep.Participants Participants included 477 Mexican adolescents from the ELEMENT cohort.Methods Over 7 days, measures (hard time falling asleep,...

Researchers typically investigate reference both actual ratings by teachers, peers, parents. However, few studies investigated whether or not adolescents difficulty self-perceptions. The present study sought the domains spelling math among a sample without learning disabilities (LD). A total 58 LD participated. Adolescents significantly...
