“Why can't they put us to sleep if we are suffering?”: La Nada and the desire for euthanasia among institutionalized older adults in Peru

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, I examine how institutionalized older adults in Peru articulate suffering through the idiom of la nada—“nothingness”—and how this shapes desires for euthanasia. Moving from close ethnography of bodies in space and time to structural and ethical discourses on euthanasia, I argue that calls for euthanasia arise not only from ...

The use of a “horizontal centrifugation protocol” to prepare autologous platelet‐rich fibrin membranes for corneal reconstruction surgery in dogs with complicated corneal ulcerations: A case series

Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 175-189, March 2025.
Abstract Objective The purpose of this case series was to describe the effect of autologous PRF membrane for corneal reconstruction surgery in dogs. PRF membranes made from two healthy dogs unrelated to the current case series were used for PRF histologic analyses. Animals Seven dogs with complicated corneal ulcerations. Procedure A complete ophthalmic

‘We Have to Think Out of the Box They Put Us in’: A Collective Narrative Study of Refugee and Asylum Seeker Subjectivities in South Africa

Journal of Community &Applied Social Psychology, Volume 36, Issue 6, November/December 2026.
ABSTRACT Forced displacement is often framed through dehumanising and pathologising narratives that portray refugees as passive victims or perceived threats, obscuring their agency and lived complexity. This qualitative research–intervention explores the everyday experiences of refugees and asylum seekers living in South Africa through a collective ...

The need for research on human factors regarding personal protective devices in the cold environment

, 1996
The human factors or wearability needs of personal protective devices (ppd) and clothing (ppc) worn in the cold environment become more important as they must compromise with, and be adapted to, the clothing worn for cold protection.

Intersectional Geographies of Sanitation and Socio‑Economic Exclusion in Assam's Urban Slums

Diversity &Inclusion Research, Volume 3, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT According to the report entitled The Sustainable Development Goals: Extended Report 2024, an estimated 24.8% of the urban population resides in slums. These figures often mask the structural inequalities that produce such conditions. Employing the lens of Diversity–Equity–Inclusion (DEI) and quasi‐qualitative methodologies, this study examines
