Nutrition Program 2001 Papau New Guinea NEGOTIATING 'OPEN SPACE': THE IMPORTANCE OF CULTURAL CONTEXT IN HIV/AIDS COMMUNICATION MODELSA QUALITATIVE STUDY OF GENDER, SEXUALITY, AND REPRODUCTION IN THE TROBRIAND ISLANDS OF PAPUA NEW GUINEA ABSTRACT "Everything has come up to the open space." The epidemic of human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is a global concern, and the means to minimise viral transmission are universal but limited. Public health responses to the epidemic primarily rely on communication strategies to educate target groups about the risks of sexual transmission of the virus, and to motivate behaviour change to minimise risk behaviour. HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention messages emphasise the importance of negotiating safe sex as a prerequisite for risk reduction. This strategy holds serious assumptions about the gender balance of power in sexual relationships. This thesis is premised on the argument that a process for negotiating open space is first required to closely examine the language of HIV interventions, and to consider womens risk for acquiring HIV in relation to their culturally valued reproductive role in childbearing. Open space is the metaphor to describe the interface between cultures, the common ground where talk can be negotiated between the western culture of biomedical models and HIV/AIDS interventions, and the indigenous culture comprising local contexts. Required in the global response are approaches that promote interactive dialogue where people are engaged at the local level to identify and articulate appropriate responses informed by the social and cultural context.

Transnational Issues Introduction [Top of Page] Background: The eastern half of the island of New Guinea - second largest in the world - was divided between Germany (north) and the UK (south) in 1885. The latter area was transferred to Australia in 1902, which occupied the northern portion during World War I and continued to administer the combined areas until independence in 1975. A nine-year secessionist revolt on the island of Bougainville ended in 1997, after claiming some 20,000 lives.

Extractions: Look up contact information Matt Tomlinson specializes in the anthropology of religion, focusing on the topics of religious authority, religion and alternative modernities, and the interrelationships between language, culture, and metaculture. For his research, he has spent 17 months in the Fiji Islands, most of that time in Tavuki village on rural Kadavu Island. In 2000, he undertook preliminary comparative fieldwork in Manus, Papau New Guinea. Listen to Fijian choral singing. The song is "Marau Ena Siga Oqo" (Rejoice This Day), sung by the Baidamudamu Choir, Baidamudamu village, Kadavu Island. The group is led by Kemueli Koro, who gave me permission to make this recording available. It was recorded in July 2003.
Invasive Alien Species Salvinia Molesta D It is prohibited in California, however, the sale or culture of Salvinia molestais Draft Report, Office Environmental Conservation, papau new guinea. http://agriculture.state.az.us/PSD/giant_sal1.htm
Extractions: Identification: Free floating aquatic fern. Consisting of a horizontal stem lying just below the water surface that produces a pair of ovate to oblong floating leaves and a highly dissected submerged leaf at each node. During early stages plants are smaller and leaves lie flat on the water surface. As plants grow, leaves curl at the edges. Eventually a verticle leaf position is attained as mature plants press into tight chains and form mats of many floating plants. Giant salvinia reproduces very effectively through vegetative means. Stems fragment as plants mature and new plants develop from apical and lateral buds. Each node harbors up to five serial lateral buds (Lemon and Posluszny 1997), adding to the species' high potential for growth and dormancy. Plants will withstand periods of stress, both low temperature and dewatering, as dormant buds. Note: Four species of Salvinia (S. auriculata, S. biloba, S. herzogii, and S. molesta) share the feature of egg beater-like hairs. All can be expected to be agressive weeds and all four are prohibited as Federal Noxious Weeds. Of the four with egg beater-like hairs, only S. molesta is presently being found in the United States.

She carried out additional study at the University of Missouri and Columbia University. As a young woman, Macgregor was a documentary photographer. In 1947-1948, she worked with Margaret Mead interpreting Balinese photograhs. With Mead, she coauthored Growth and Culture: A Photographic Study of Balinese Childhood , 1951. She was also a consultant to the Institute for Intercultural Studies. Later, Macgregor became a pioneer in using the concepts of anthropology and sociology in dealing with medical patients. In particular, she became in this respect an authority on persons suffering facial disfigurements. In 1949-1952, she was a research associate in the New York University College of Medicine Department of Psychiatry. In 1952, she organized the New York City Medical Social Science Group. In 1954-1968, she was a visiting professor at the Cornell University-New York University Hospital School of Nursing. In 1968, she became an associate professor of the Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery at the New York University Medical Center. Correspondents includes William A. Caudill, Margaret Mead, and Leo W. Simmons. The series of letters and printed materials exchanged between Juliene G.

Background Information on Papua New Guinea Papua New Guinea (PNG) lies just south of the equator and to the north of Australia. It is the last of a string of islands spilling down from South-East Asia into the Pacific and could be said to form a transition zone between the two areas. PNG occupies the eastern end of the island of New Guinea. In addition, there is a collection of islands, some rather large, around the main island mass (The country comprises over 600 islands, but 85 per cent of its mass is mainland).

Tribute To Bishop Himata In their culture, funerals are very personal and very ceremonial together with Bougainvilleanand Solomon leaders, as well as a papau new guinea Defence Forces http://www.users.bigpond.com/collegeofevangelism/himata.htm
Extractions: Bishop Himata was born in June 1954 in Fead Island, a small cay in the Nguria group. The community on Fead is of Polynesian ancestry and culture. In their culture, funerals are very personal and very ceremonial. Bishop Himatas life was celebrated in a funeral service at Hutjena United Church, Buka, on Friday morning, and then he was buried yesterday with full ceremony in Nguria. Traditionally, the Polynesian islands of Bougainville were difficult to reach with the gospel, so it is most significant that one of their sons should have been anointed to be Bishop of Bougainville. We share in a small way in this memorial service, in the grief of his death and the celebration of his life, witness and resurrection with the people of Nguria, Nissan, Tauu. Tutmouna Himata, like every boy of the coral islands of Polynesia, learned to garden and fish. His love of fishing brought him great joy. I have heard the reports from the members of a team of Australians I sent to Bougainville last month, who went fishing on the reef near Taiof Islands, south of Buka. They tell of his joy and his skill. They returned with a great catch of yellow-fin tuna, which would rival any catch made in the Sea of Gaililee. Rev. Dan Armstrong was one who was with him. Knowing Dan, I am sure that before their banana boat left Buka, Dan named the boat Mission, so that it could always be said that Himata and Dan had spent that Saturday out on Mission.
Extractions: About the Author: Audrey McCollum was born and raised in New York City, where turmoil in her family sparked her drive to become a psychotherapist and writer. Educated at the Brearley School, Vassar College, and the Simmons College School of Social Work, she became a family therapist and research associate at the Yale University Child Study Center and Department of Pediatrics. During those years, she married and began rearing her daughter and sontrying to combine effective parenting and professional life when that was still uncommon among women. Her first book, Coping with Prolonged Health Impairment in Your Child was described as "the best book in the field with the worst title!" Expanded and updated, it was later published as The Chronically Ill Child: A Guide for Parents and Professionals . A move to New Hampshire rekindled her childhood curiosity about personal transition. Her groundbreaking book, The Trauma of Moving: Psychological Issues for Women was followed by Smart Moves: Your Guide Through the Emotional Maze of Relocation, co-authored by Nadia Jensen and Stuart Copans. Still available, it has earned accolades in the media and is described as "the bible" of relocation. An avid traveler, drawn to the beauty and mystery of tropical coral reefs and rain forests, McCollum became fascinated by Papua New Guinea a nation in the midst of tumultuous change. During repeated visits there, she and a mountain woman, Pirip Kuru, developed the complex and ever-deepening friendship described in Two Women, Two Worlds. McCollum practices psychotherapy, writes, skis, hikes, and lives happily with her husband in Etna, New Hampshire.

Crows Better At Tool Building Than Chimps, Study Says Reference countries include Australia, papau new guinea, the Solomon Islands in 21sites throughout new Caledonia, the of a complex material culture, like that http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/04/0423_030423_crowtools.html
Extractions: Although there are many industrious tool-users in the natural world, the only animals with enough brainpower to develop and improve the tools they make have long been thought to be humans. Adding innovative new features, such as a wheel or an engine, to previous designs, was one of those traits some scientists believed made us unique. Now, according to researchers in New Zealand, a crafty species of crow found on the remote Pacific islands of New Caledonia may prove that this trait isn't so uniquely human after all. As the scientists detail in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B , New Caledonian crows ( Corvus moneduloides ) have been able to add useful new features to the insect-snagging tools they fashion from leathery pieces of torn leaf. What's more, they say, these innovations are faithfully passed on between individuals and across generations. "The ability to cumulatively improve tools is one of the features that define humanness. In fact this ability has been crucial for our technological progress," said co-author Gavin R. Hunt, at the University of Auckland in New Zealand. "Our findings therefore remove an important technological difference between humans and other animals," he said.

Extractions: Bird Remains, San Juan Island, WA Kris Bovy (University of Washington), under the direction of Dr. Julie Stein, has studied bird bones excavated at British Camp in the San Juan Islands. She found that there is an unusually high number of bird wing bones at the site (relative to other bird bones). There are a number of hypotheses for why this pattern may exist. For example, do wing bones survive because they are less fragile than other skeletal parts of a bird, such as the skull? Did prehistoric occupants hoard the bird wings for their colorful feathers or bones (used to make tools)? The proportion of wing bones
