"And that main artery's name is life": Ecosocial injury and resurgent care in Deanuleahki, Sápmi.
Med Anthropol Q
December 2024
Department of Global Health and Social Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Based on 28 months of ethnographic research in Deanuleahki-a river valley in Sápmi, the transborder Indigenous Sámi homeland-this article traces my interlocutors' striving to reclaim and repair ecological and kin relations through the everyday praxis of care. I trace this striving through the unmaking and remaking of local relations of care amidst encroachment by post-Second World War Nordic welfare states and regimes of environmental stewardship. I propose a dual conceptualization of ecosocial injury and resurgent care to account for, on the one hand, care's alienation from its social and ecological contexts; and, on the other, the intimate everyday labor of revivifying relations of kinship and belonging, and conditions of material livability, within local ecologies.

Heliyon
November 2024
Jerusalem College of Technology, Department of Nursing, Faculty of Life and Health Sciences, 11 Bet Hadfus St., Jerusalem, 95483, Israel.
Background: There is a paucity of research examining how student-mothers in nursing school, who have four or more children and come from traditional societies, are able to navigate between their studies and motherhood. These mothers are expected to juggle their studies, while handling their household responsibilities, caring for their children and working to provide for their family.
Methods: This qualitative phenomenological study aimed to understand the motivations, challenges and inner conflicts faced by ultra-orthodox nursing student-mothers with four or more children.
Interplay between the brain and adipose tissue: a metabolic conversation.
EMBO Rep
December 2024
Neuronal Control of Metabolism (NeuCoMe) Laboratory, Institut d'Investigacions Biomèdiques August Pi i Sunyer (IDIBAPS), Barcelona, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- - The central nervous system and adipose tissue communicate bidirectionally, influencing metabolism, appetite, and energy use through the hypothalamus, which integrates various signals to regulate body functions.
- - This review discusses the roles of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves in managing white and brown adipose tissue activities, such as fat breakdown and heat production, while also highlighting adipose tissue's role as both an energy store and hormone-secreting organ.
- - Recent discoveries about communication pathways, like extracellular vesicles, complicate the brain-adipose tissue interaction, with consequences for metabolic disorders like obesity and type-2 diabetes, suggesting new therapeutic approaches for better metabolic health.
Listening to two-talker conversations in quiet settings: the role of listeners' cognitive processing capabilities for memory and listening effort.
Sci Rep

Work and Engineering Psychology, RWTH Aachen University, 52066, Aachen, Germany.
Listening to conversing talkers in quiet environments and remembering the content is a common activity. However, research on the cognitive demands involved is limited. This study investigates the relevance of individuals' cognitive functions for listeners' memory of two-talker conversations and their listening effort in quiet listening settings.
