Participants in the discourse on AMBS are best situated to assess their own and others’ experiential claims within a specific place and as part of a particular process of educational advocacy. The former is comprised of barber shops, laundromats, libraries, and other accessible, decentralized, community-based arenas that have a history of incubating anti-racist and other politics of resistance. The latter emphasizes the importance of public schools while challenging the quality of such schools available to black children. Such advocacy is ultimately successful when it abides by the two-fold norm that good public schools foster black self-determination in the face of intersecting oppression and also prepare black children of all genders to continually evaluate what life in a democratic polity looks like.

Climate Crisis

Abstract This chapter explores the livelihood and care implications of the climate crisis from a gendered viewpoint that includes the implications of this approach for climate decision making at multiple scales, from local to global. The focus is on grassroots political organizing, activism, and movements as well as women's community-based actions to (re)build social resilience in the face of climate chaos. Challenges and policy implications are discussed as governments struggle to meaningfully and equitably address climate change. Also highlighted are the transformational imperatives of care and livelihood priorities which cast into stark relief the unsustainability of the long-established gender inequities that serve as the foundation for economic systems everywhere.

Getting To Outcomes

Demands on community-based prevention programs for performance accountability and positive outcomes are ever increasing in the face of constrained resources. Relatively little is known about how technical assistance (TA) should be structured to benefit community-based organizations and to lead to better outcomes. In this study, data from multiple sources were used to describe an effective TA model designed to improve the capacity of community-based organizations to plan, implement, and evaluate prevention programming. This article is the first of its kind to provide detailed analyses of the TA delivered to community-based organizations to build substance abuse prevention capacity. The results of this study describe the range of TA services provided and the importance of two-way communication between the TA provider and recipient. TA recipients reported high satisfaction and an improved understanding of targeted TA activities. However, achieving these benefits requires significant program staff time, and not all skills were successfully transferred. Results from this study suggest how TA may be structured to be effective in supporting quality prevention programming in community settings.

O orçamento destinado pelo Governo Federal ao Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade – ICMBio para que o mesmo faça a gestão das mais de 300 Unidades de Conservação (UC) Federais não é suficiente para uma excelência gerencial de tais áreas, o que tem imposto desafios crescentes para a sustentabilidade socio-econômico-ambiental das áreas protegidas. Uma das estratégias adotadas pelo ICMBio perante o desafio de gerir as UCs é a concessão de serviços turísticos em Unidades de Conservação para a iniciativa privada. Por outro lado, a atividade turística tem no espaço geográfico seu objeto de consumo, sendo que para que a mesma ocorra faz-se a apropriação dos territórios e redes, situação que, se não bem planejada, pode levar a uma ótica que privilegia classes mais abastadas em detrimento do local, que fica com o ônus social, ambiental e financeiro. Apesar dos estudos disponíveis na literatura demonstrarem a importância do Turismo de Base Comunitária - TBC enquanto justiça ambiental, percebe-se a escassez de dados sobre o viés da sustentabilidade econômica de tais iniciativas. O artigo buscou, através de um estudo de caso, apresentar dados que demonstram a viabilidade econômica do TBC, de forma a enriquecer o debate sobre esta possibilidade de arranjo gerencial.Palavras-chave: Concessão de serviços ecoturísticos, Gestão de Unidades de Conservação, Turismo de Base Comunitária VIABILITY OF COMMUNITY BASED TOURISM IN THE SERRA DO CIPÓ NATIONAL PARK. IS IT POSSIBLE?Abstract: The budget allocated by the Brazilian Government to the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation – ICMBio – to manage more than 300 Federal Conservation Units (UC) is not enough to achieve excellence in the management of such areas. This  has posed increasing challenges for the socio-economic-environmental sustainability of protected areas. One of the strategies adopted by ICMBio in the face of the challenge of managing UCs is the concession of tourism services by the private sector. On the other hand, tourism activity has its object of consumption in the geographic space, and for it to take place, territories and networks are appropriated, a situation that, if not well planned, can lead to increased privileges to higher class levels in detriment of lower class levels of the local communities, which bears the social, environmental and financial burden. Although the studies available in the literature demonstrate the importance of Community Based Tourism – TBC as environmental justice, there is a lack of data on the economic sustainability bias of such initiatives. The article sought, through a case study, to present data that demonstrate the economic viability of the TBC to enrich the debate on this possibility of managerial arrangement.Keywords: Conservation Units management; Community-based tourism, Concession of ecotourism services.

Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis: (1) strategi penghidupan masyarakat pasca erupsi, (2) karakteristik lingkungan fisik dan potensi sumberdaya pendukung penghidupan, (3) tingkat kesiapsiagaan masyarakat berdasarkan strategi penghidupan dan karakteristik lingkungan fisik serta potensi sumberdaya pendukung; pada kawasan rawan bencana III Kecamatan Srumbung. Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif-eksplanatif dengan pendekatan ekologi. Data dikumpulkan dengan wawancara, FGD, dan observasi. Hasil penelitian: (1) Kerusakan lahan dan tanaman pasca erupsi menyebabkan petani tidak dapat memperoleh penghidupan dari usaha tani. Dalam situasi darurat, upaya memperoleh penghidupan terutama dengan bekerja di bidang lain sebagai pedagang, buruh, pertambangan tradisional, dan karyawan swasta. Berdasarkan tipologi strategi penghidupan rumahtangga, sebagian besar termasuk dalam strategi konsolidasi dan paling sedikit strategi akumulasi. (2) Potensi sumberdaya alam cukup banyak berupa sumberdaya lahan, air, hayati, dan mineral. (3) Kesiapsiagaan menghadapi bencana berikutnya masih perlu ditingkatkan, didasari oleh masih sedikit masyarakat yang mengalokasikan tabungan untuk situasi darurat dan cara bertani masih sama dengan sebelum bencana. This Research aims to analyze: (1) community livelihood strategies after eruption, (2) characteristics of physical environment and potential resources to support livelihood, (3) level of preparedness community based livelihood strategies and characteristics of physical environment and resources; at disaster-prone areas III Srumbung Subdistrict. The method used is descriptive-explanative with ecological approach. Data were collected through interviews, FGD, and observations. The result: (1) Land and crop damage after the eruption caused farmers cannot earn living from farming. In emergency situation, efforts to obtain a living mainly by working in other fields as merchants, laborers, traditional mining, and private sector employees. Based on the typology of livelihood strategies of households, mostly included in consolidation strategy and and the least is accumulation strategy.

Serial Excision

Face is a very prominent part of our body. It is the first feature that we notice when we meet someone. When there is a large cutaneous lesion /scar on the face it stands out, and can make a person very self conscious. So it becomes a source of concern and embarrassment for the person involved. As such when a patient with this type of problem presents to a cosmetic surgeon, he has to take great care as to how it can be removed and what will be the aesthetic outcome of the treatment. This is especially important if the patient is young. Different types of flaps like nasolabial flaps, forehead flaps, deltopectoral flaps etc. are commonly used for reconstruction of defects following excision of large lesions. Sometimes tissue expanders are also used. Of course skin grafting is probably the easiest way to cover large areas when flaps cannot be used. But all of these procedures leave big scars which are often not acceptable to the patients. We have found that serial excision is a good way of removal of large lesions or scars especially when it involves the face. Although the patient needs two or more sittings for completion of the procedure, the final outcome is much more acceptable to the patient.

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is transforming the world we live in, revealing our health, economic, and social weaknesses. In the local economy, the loss of job opportunities, the uncertainty about the future of small and medium-sized companies and the difficulties of families to face the effects of this crisis, invite us to investigate the perception of the local community. Based on a questionnaire applied to 313 citizens and 51 companies, this study explored the perception of these actors on the effects of the pandemic at the local level and determined the main factors that influenced their assessment using a multinomial logistic regression model. The results indicated a systematic concern for issues of employment, job security, and household debt. The variables of age and sex were significant when analyzing the vulnerability of certain groups, especially women and the elderly, to face the effects of the crisis and their role as citizens. At the business level, the focus was on economic policies that support its operational continuity and management capacity to face a changing scenario.
