Investigates issues surrounding gender relations & women's work in the rural Philippines, drawing on fieldwork in a municipality of Sorsogon Province in southern Luzon, comprising a survey of 101 households (N = 190 men & women); in-depth interviews with a subsample of 36 respondents, as well as key informants; & focus groups. Although, historically, an idealization of women in the domestic sphere has rendered women's work invisible, it is found that the impetus of family survival has led women to perform a variety of work-related activities that blurred traditional gender boundaries. Most of these activities are confined to the informal economic sector & supplemental wage activities. Both male & female respondents referred to the importance for men in maintaining a dominant position in marital relationships & acknowledged men's role as primary breadwinners for maintaining harmony in the household.

"As an Alaska Native (Unangax) raised among my Elders, I was taught Indigenous ways of thinking, the importance of honoring and respecting our Elders and all people and as I moved through the Western education system, I came to realize the knowledge of the land, the water, and the environment taught to me by Elders in my family and community was not in the textbooks, not shared by others, not honored or respected when shared in a group setting"--

The chapters in this book describe the current situation and changes that affect the health and well-being of different Indigenous populations around the world. They also highlight the adaptations and strengths of older people as they find ways to meet current challenges in their lives.

Although there has been much discussion about distinctions between quantitative and qualitative research, our purpose here is not to revive those conversations, but instead to attempt to explore and articulate our identities as researchers who practice in the qualitative tradition. Using autoethnography as our methodology, we as six researchers from various social science disciplines and at various career stages engaged in focused introspection by responding individually to two questions: who am I as a qualitative researcher; and how did I come to that understanding? This reflection led to discussions of those elements and experiences that have shaped the way we see ourselves in the context of our research. The question of "identity" evolved into a discussion about "what we do." During our data analysis, six themes emerged, representing our group's responses: (a) building epistemology, (b) making/doing good research, (c) as an art or craft, (d) why does qualitative research need legitimating? (e) qualitative research as a social bridge, and (f) stewards of people's lived experience. We conclude by reflecting on the value of building a community of practice among qualitative researchers.

Interprofessional education (IPE) is a growing focus for educators in health professional academic programs. Recommendations to successfully implement IPE are emerging in the literature, but there remains a dearth of evidence informing the bigger challenges of sustainability and scalability. Transformation to interprofessional education for collaborative person-centred practice (IECPCP) is complex and requires "harmonization of motivations" within and between academia, governments, healthcare delivery sectors, and consumers. The main lesson learned at the University of Manitoba was the value of using a formal implementation framework to guide its work. This framework identifies key factors that must be addressed at the micro, meso, and macro levels and emphasizes that interventions occurring only at any single level will likely not lead to sustainable change. This paper describes lessons learned when using the framework and offers recommendations to support other institutions in their efforts to enable the roll out and integration of IECPCP. ; L'éducation interprofessionnelle (EIP) fait l'objet d'un intérêt grandissant parmi les enseignants des programmes universitaires pour professionnels de la santé. Bien que des recommandations pour une mise en œuvre réussie de l'EIP fassent leur apparition dans les publications académiques, il existe encore un manque de données probantes sur les défis plus importants que représentent la durabilité et la modularité. La transformation de l'EIP vers une pratique interprofessionnelle et collaborative axée sur la personne (PPCAP) est complexe et nécessite l'«harmonisation des motivations» entre différents secteurs (universitaire, gouvernemental, des soins de la santé et de la consommation), et au sein de ceux-ci. La principale leçon qu'a reçue l'Université du Manitoba a été la nécessité d'employer une structure formelle de mise en place pour diriger ses travaux. Cette structure identifie les caractéristiques essentielles que l'on doit aborder à petite, moyenne et grande échelle et souligne l'importance de ces interventions à plusieurs niveaux, sans quoi le changement n'est pas durable. Cet article décrit les leçons apprises avec la structure et propose des recommandations afin d'aider d'autres institutions dans leurs efforts de création et d'intégration de la PPCAP.

Decades of costly failures in translating drug candidates from preclinical disease models to human therapeutic use warrant reconsideration of the priority placed on animal models in biomedical research. Following an international workshop attended by experts from academia, government institutions, research funding bodies, and the corporate and nongovernmental organisation (NGO) sectors, in this consensus report, we analyse, as case studies, five disease areas with major unmet needs for new treatments. In view of the scientifically driven transition towards a human pathway-based paradigm in toxicology, a similar paradigm shift appears to be justified in biomedical research. There is a pressing need for an approach that strategically implements advanced, human biology-based models and tools to understand disease pathways at multiple biological scales. We present recommendations to help achieve this.
