- "Starvation taught me art": Tree poaching, gender and cultural shifts in wood curio carving in Zimbabwe.
- Creator
- Fadiman, Maria
- Abstract/Description
-
This study looks at wood curio carving in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, Africa. Although the local people, Ndebele and Shona, have always carved, they now face a weakened economy, due in large part to land reforms in 2000. Thus, more people sculpt wood as a form of livelihood. As one man said “Starvation taught me art”. As a result, gender roles are shifting as men and women begin to enter realms previously reserved for the other. Environmentally, carvers poaching trees deforests the woodlands....
Show moreThis study looks at wood curio carving in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, Africa. Although the local people, Ndebele and Shona, have always carved, they now face a weakened economy, due in large part to land reforms in 2000. Thus, more people sculpt wood as a form of livelihood. As one man said “Starvation taught me art”. As a result, gender roles are shifting as men and women begin to enter realms previously reserved for the other. Environmentally, carvers poaching trees deforests the woodlands. As more individuals turn to making crafts sustainability deteriorates. However, people are looking into more sustainable practices. Ndebele and Shona are experimenting with carving smaller items so as to be able to earn more profit from less wood, and to use branches instead of heartwood. Carvers are also using scrap wood from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) lumber mills to lessen dependence on live trees.

- Creator
- Michel, Madeline, Ordóñez, María de los Ángeles, Florida Atlantic University, Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing
- Abstract/Description
-
Depressive symptoms are one of the factors that can accelerate aging and may negatively affect cognitive status of older adults, rendering them dependent on caregivers as they age. In general, depression can be the catalyst of physical inactivity in older adults and a mediator of cardiovascular events, and mortality. Furthermore, depression can be linked with increased disability, chronic medical conditions, and stressful life events; hence, placing significant burden on patients, their...
Show moreDepressive symptoms are one of the factors that can accelerate aging and may negatively affect cognitive status of older adults, rendering them dependent on caregivers as they age. In general, depression can be the catalyst of physical inactivity in older adults and a mediator of cardiovascular events, and mortality. Furthermore, depression can be linked with increased disability, chronic medical conditions, and stressful life events; hence, placing significant burden on patients, their families, their communities, the economy, and the healthcare system. In South Florida, many older Haitian American (HA) adults living in our local community experience depression and lack of participation in routine physical and cognitive activities. Nurses routinely utilize a variety of nonpharmacological approaches and patient education interventions designed to reduce the negative impact of comorbid conditions, promote independence, and augment patients’ quality of life. The purpose of this paper is to address the need to develop a habit of engagement in regular physical and mental stimulation activities in older Haitian American adults, to highlight the best current evidence, and to provide a comprehensive description of this quality improvement project with recommendations for practice change. An analysis of the quantitative results, a thorough evaluation of the project, and a final critique with plans for future dissemination are also included.
