'To tell or not to tell'
ISBN: 9783838352565 / Angielski / Miękka / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Disclosure of HIV status can play an important role in promoting health and well-being of people living with HIV/AIDS, and in prevention. This potential is limited by low disclosure levels, as well as a preference for a partial and delayed disclosure. This book identifies HIV stigma as a key factor in low disclosure levels and a preference for partial disclosure, in a disadvantaged South African township. It suggests that HIV stigma is based on a conceptualization of HIV/AIDS as a highly contagious, deadly, incurable, and poorly understood disease, and should primarily be understood as a...

This publication is designed to increase awareness of the value of late-glacial landforms in the study of early settlement patterns in southwest coastal British Columbia. Knowing local paleoenvironmental events, such as glacial advances, relative sealevel changes and paraglacial landscape modifications, is critical to understanding potential early site locations. A lack of systematic surveys, poor site visibility, deep alluvial burial, and site locations away from modern shorelines have been identified in this work as main reasons for the lack of evidence for late Pleistocene human...

The Biological Evidence of the San-Pau-Chu People
ISBN: 9783843351287 / Angielski / Miękka / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This research is the first study in Taiwan trying to combine both morphological and genetic evidence to understand the biological nature of one prehistoric population. Because the dental morphological study and ancient DNA analyses seem to suggest a Northeast Asian origin for the San-Pau-Chu people, it is proposed here that approximately 2,500 BP, some prehistoric Taiwanese came from mainland East Asia. However, the WCTS people, contemporaries of SPC, show a closer relatedness with the Namu from the Hawaii. Therefore, a multiple set of models must be considered as suggested by Matisoo-Smith...
