Northern Research Leadership and Equity by The Expert Panel on the Future of Arctic and Northern Research in Canada Pdf

The North is home to many peoples—Indigenous and non-Indigenous—yet Arctic and Northern research has long been centred on Southern voices, needs, priorities, and institutions. As a result of longstanding Southern influences, numerous systemic challenges have gone unaddressed and continue to negatively impact Arctic and Northern research in Canada. Through the explicit elevation of Northern perspectives—in particular, Arctic and Northern Indigenous Peoples’ perspectives—the Expert Panel on the Future of Arctic and Northern Research in Canada sought to provide guidance on how to address these complex challenges and create a path forward for transformational change. Northern Research Leadership and Equity sets out the elements required to create an inclusive, collaborative, effective, and world-class Arctic and Northern research system, as well the avenues through which those elements can be implemented.

Counting Feminicide by Catherine D'Ignazio Pdf

Why grassroots data activists in Latin America count feminicide—and how this vital social justice work challenges mainstream data science. What isn’t counted doesn’t count. And mainstream institutions systematically fail to account for feminicide, the gender-related killing of women and girls, including cisgender and transgender women. Against this failure, Counting Feminicide brings to the fore the work of data activists across the Americas who are documenting such murders—and challenging the reigning logic of data science by centering care, memory, and justice in their work. Drawing on Data Against Feminicide, a large-scale collaborative research project, Catherine D’Ignazio describes the creative, intellectual, and emotional labor of feminicide data activists who are at the forefront of a data ethics that rigorously and consistently takes power and people into account. Individuals, researchers, and journalists—these data activists scour news sources to assemble spreadsheets and databases of women killed by gender-related violence, then circulate those data in a variety of creative and political forms. Their work reveals the potential of restorative/transformative data science—the use of systematic information to, first, heal communities from the violence and trauma produced by structural inequality and, second, envision and work toward the world in which such violence has been eliminated. Specifically, D’Ignazio explores the possibilities and limitations of counting and quantification—reducing complex social phenomena to convenient, sortable, aggregable forms—when the goal is nothing short of the elimination of gender-related violence. Counting Feminicide showcases the incredible power of data feminism in practice, in which each murdered woman or girl counts, and, in being counted, joins a collective demand for the restoration of rights and a transformation of the gendered order of the world.

Environmental Determinants of Human Health by Jozef M. Pacyna,Elisabeth G. Pacyna Pdf

Polluted air and contaminated food and water are major causes of human health deterioration, but public health policy has long struggled to effectively address these concerns. This timely book--written for a wide audience of policy makers, researchers, and general readers--synthesizes what we already know about environmental hazards, identifies the gaps in our knowledge, and provides a roadmap for reducing human exposure to environmental pollution. With contributions from leading experts, Environmental Determinants of Human Health examines numerous pollutants, both inorganic and organic, in the context of their human health impacts. Individual chapters explore exposure pathways, macroeconomic impacts of human health deterioration, technological and non-technological methods for reducing exposures, monetary and non-monetary benefits from exposure reduction, and risk communication and awareness, including citizen participation approaches. This volume is a crucial text for policy makers requiring scientific justification for the development of new environmental regulations, scientists researching public health and environmental contamination, and members of the public interested in human health issues.

Qanuippitaa? by Anonim Pdf

Human exposure to environmental contaminants is a well-known phenomenon in the Canadian Arctic. The Inuit of Nunavik are exposed to a plethora of toxic substances that are carried from southern to northern latitudes by oceanic and atmospheric transport and biomagnified in Arctic food webs. As the Inuit traditional diet comprises large amounts of tissues from marine mammals, fish and terrestrial wild game, the Inuit are more exposed to metals and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) than populations living in southern regions. Metals of concern include mercury (Hg), lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) and other contaminants of concern are persistent organic pollutants (POPs).

Qanuippitaa? by Céline Plante (Nutritionniste) Pdf

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), there are over two billion people around the world suffering from anemia. Iron deficiency, which is the main cause of anemia, is the most common nutrition disorder worldwide (WHO, 1998). Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is particularly prevalent among babies, children, women, ethnic groups and low-income families and, to a greater extent, among people living in developing countries (WHO, 2001). In 2001, the prevalence of anemia among women was estimated at 10.3% in industrialized countries and 42.3% in non-industrialized countries (WHO, 2001). The prevalence of anemia in Aboriginal children of Canada is eight times higher than among similar non-aboriginal populations in Canada and is especially high among Inuit children (Christofides et al., 2005). Until now, the prevalence of anemia in Nunavik women was unknown, however it was suspected that similar results existed. WHO recognizes anemia as a widespread public health problem having major consequences on health as well as on social and economical development (WHO, 2001). The economic implications of iron deficiency are linked to the therapeutic costs involved in curing anemia, impaired pregnancy outcomes and the medical costs associated with a higher prevalence of certain infections.

Qanuippitaa? by Louis Rochette Pdf

The main objective of this report is to outline the demographic and social characteristics of the Inuit population who participated in the 2004 Nunavik Inuit Health Survey. Socio-demographic factors are of major significance in determining a population's health. These factors may be interpreted as risk or protective factors in relation to various diseases and should be taken into consideration in planning health services. This theme paper begins by presenting a description of the survey sample and goes on to consider the Inuit's mode of living, including factors such as household composition, adoption and marital status. It then addresses topics related to economic status: education, individual income, occupation and job status. In addition, the subject of personal perceptions of one's own health status is also included in the last section of the paper.

Stories of Change and Sustainability in the Arctic Regions by Rita Sørly,Tony Ghaye,Bård Kårtveit Pdf

This book presents stories of sustainability from communities in circumpolar regions as they grapple with environmental, economic and societal changes and challenges. Polar regions are changing rapidly. These changes will dramatically effect ecosystems, economy, people, communities and their interdependencies. Given this, the stories being told about lives and livelihood development are changing also. This book is the first of its kind to curate stories about opportunity and responsibility, tensions and contradictions, un/ethical action, resilience, adaptability and sustainability, all within the shifting geopolitics of the north. The book looks at change and sustainability through multidisciplinary and empirically based work, drawing on case studies from Norway, Sweden, Alaska, Canada, Finland and Northwest Russia, with a notable focus on indigenous peoples. Chapters touch on topics as wide ranging as reindeer herding, mental health, climate change, land-use conflicts and sustainable business. The volume asks whose voices are being heard, who benefits, how particular changes affect people’s sense of community and longstanding and cherished values plus livelihood practices and what are the environmental, economic and social impacts of contemporary and future oriented changes with regard to issues of sustainability? This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of sustainability studies, sustainable development, environmental sociology, indigenous studies and environmental anthropology.

First Nations Gaming in Canada by Yale D. Belanger Pdf

While games of chance have been part of the Aboriginal cultural landscape since before European contact, large-scale commercial gaming facilities within First Nations communities are a relatively new phenomenon in Canada. First Nations Gaming in Canada is the first multidisciplinary study of the role of gaming in indigenous communities north of the 49th parallel. Bringing together some of Canada’s leading gambling researchers, the book examines the history of Aboriginal gaming and its role in indigenous political economy, the rise of large-scale casinos and cybergaming, the socio-ecological impact of problem gambling, and the challenges of labour unions and financial management. The authors also call attention to the dearth of socio-economic impact studies of gambling in First Nations communities while providing models to address this growing issue of concern.
