Home Garden Diversity Of The Tahuayo Region, Peru, Daniel Bauer, Duncan Taylor, Nelly Pinedo Alvarado Feb 2018

Home Garden Diversity Of The Tahuayo Region, Peru, Daniel Bauer, Duncan Taylor, Nelly Pinedo Alvarado

Journal of Ecological Anthropology

We examined cultural and environmental factors affecting species diversity of home gardens in Amazonian Northeast Peru based on 33 surveys conducted in July/August, 2014, in three communities varying in remoteness, demography, ecological zone, and ethnicity. The results support the idea that community variation in home gardens is not influenced by a single factor such as remoteness, but instead is the result of multiple cultural and environmental factors. Similar to other studies of Amazonian home gardens, fruits and medicinal plants make up the bulk of home garden diversity; however, we did not find an association between a tourism and reduced garden …

Impact Of Climate Change On The Transition Of Neanderthals To Modern Humans In Europe, Michael Staubwasser, Virgil Dragusin, Bogdan P. Onac Jan 2018

Impact Of Climate Change On The Transition Of Neanderthals To Modern Humans In Europe, Michael Staubwasser, Virgil Dragusin, Bogdan P. Onac

KIP Articles

Two speleothem stable isotope records from East-Central Europe demonstrate that Greenland Stadial 12 (GS12) and GS10—at 44.3–43.3 and 40.8–40.2 ka—were prominent intervals of cold and arid conditions. GS12, GS11, and GS10 are coeval with a regional pattern of culturally (near-)sterile layers within Europe’s diachronous archeologic transition from Neanderthals to modern human Aurignacian. Sterile layers coeval with GS12 precede the Aurignacian throughout the middle and upper Danube region. In some records from the northern Iberian Peninsula, such layers are coeval with GS11 and separate the Châtelperronian from the Aurignacian. Sterile layers preceding the Aurignacian in the remaining Châtelperronian domain are coeval …


A Holistic Approach To Conquering Depression, Michael Deja Jan 2018

A Holistic Approach To Conquering Depression, Michael Deja

USF St. Petersburg campus Honors Program Theses (Undergraduate)

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the efficacy of an herbal approach for the treatment of depression. This study will include multiple different systems of traditional herbal medicine as well as modern scientific data to support their effectiveness. An analysis of different herbs and their bioactivity, chemical composition, as well as their historic uses will be used to support the herbal approach to treating depression. In all probability these herbal medicines should be effective in treating clinical depression, as they have been used for thousands of years to restore balance to both mind and body.

A Review Of Taiwanese Trust In The Police With Alternative Interpretations., Shun-Yung Kevin Wang Jan 2018

A Review Of Taiwanese Trust In The Police With Alternative Interpretations., Shun-Yung Kevin Wang

USF St. Petersburg Campus Faculty Publications

This study aims to review and reinterpret Taiwanese citizens’ trust in the police, with a focus on taking its social changes, political transitions, and historical background into consideration. Modern Taiwan inherits both Chinese and Japanese cultures, and the urbanization on the island has generated substantial differences between rural areas and metropolitans. The political system has also successfully transformed from authoritarianism to democracy since late 1980s and subsequently leads to paradigm shift in policing. All of the contemporary empirical studies regarding public assessments of the police are based on survey data, however, they either poorly measure the multi-dimensional nature of trust …

Where Have All The Falcons Gone? Saker Falcon (Falco Cherrug) Exports In A Global Economy, Paul B. Stretesky, Ruth E. Mckie, Michael J. Lynch, Michael A. Long, Kimberly L. Barrett Jan 2018

Where Have All The Falcons Gone? Saker Falcon (Falco Cherrug) Exports In A Global Economy, Paul B. Stretesky, Ruth E. Mckie, Michael J. Lynch, Michael A. Long, Kimberly L. Barrett

Criminology Faculty Publications

Within conservation biology growing evidence of the decline of the Saker falcon (falco cherrug) population has directed attention to the role of the global falcon trade. Here, we examine factors that may explain the global Saker trade using ecological modernization, treadmill of production and unequal ecological exchange as theoretical frameworks. We estimate trends in Saker exports using the most comprehensive measure available – Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora Trade Database. Our analysis employs fixed effects regression techniques to control for unobserved heterogeneity between nations to isolate the most important drivers of …


Application Of A Health Literacy Framework To Explore Patients’ Knowledge Of The Link Between Hpv And Cancer, Alicia Best, Rachel G. Logan, Coralia Vázquez-Otero, Whitney Fung, Vanessa Alicia Chee, Erika L. Thompson, Seiichi Villalona, Lora M. A. Thompson, Clement K. Gwede, Ellen M. Daley Jan 2018

Application Of A Health Literacy Framework To Explore Patients’ Knowledge Of The Link Between Hpv And Cancer, Alicia Best, Rachel G. Logan, Coralia Vázquez-Otero, Whitney Fung, Vanessa Alicia Chee, Erika L. Thompson, Seiichi Villalona, Lora M. A. Thompson, Clement K. Gwede, Ellen M. Daley

Community and Family Health Faculty Publications

The human papillomavirus (HPV) is a sexually transmitted infection and causes most oropharyngeal (e.g., throat) and anogenital (e.g., anal, cervical) cancers. Research indicates low knowledge about the link between HPV and cancer among the general population, and similar low knowledge of HPV among individuals diagnosed with HPV-associated cancers. This is important because HPV status can have implications for treatment, prognosis, and future sexual decisions. Using a health literacy framework, this study explored how patients diagnosed with HPV-associated cancers accessed, understood, appraised, and applied HPV information. We conducted 27 in-depth interviews with patients seeking care at a comprehensive cancer center; and …
