Posição ordinal dos filhos, sexo e esquizofrenia

O presente estudo investigou a hipótese de associação entre a posição ordinal dos filhos dentro de sua prole e a prevalência da esquizofrenia. Para examinar o objetivo acima proposto, foram observados 404 pacientes esquizofrênicos (201 do sexo masculino e 203 do sexo feminino) que estavam internados em 5 hospitais da área metropolitana de São Paulo. O método estatístico utilizado, que permitiu a análise dos efeitos da ordem de nascimento sobre a prevalência de esquizofrenia, foi o de Greenwood-Yule. Verificou-se que existe associação entre ordem de nascimento e esquizofrenia e que esta relação pode ser descrita em termos de um excesso de primogênitos esquizofrênicos, tanto masculinos como femininos

Embodied social capital and geographic perspectives: performing the habitus

This paper reopens debates of geographic theorizations and conceptualizations of social capital. I argue that human geographers have tended to underplay the analytic value of social capital, by equating the concept with dominant policy interpretations. It is contended that geographers could more explicitly contribute to pervasive critical social science accounts. With this in mind, an embodied perspective of social capital is constructed. This synthesizes Bourdieu's capitals and performative theorizations of identity, to progress the concept of social capital in four key ways. First, this theorization more fully reconnects embodied differences to broader socioeconomic processes. Second, an exploration of how embodied social differences can emerge directly from the political-economy and/or via broader operations of power is facilitated. Third, a path is charted through the endurance of embodied inequalities and the potential for social transformation. Finally, embodied social capital can advance social science conceptualizations of the spatiality of social capital, by illuminating the importance of broader sociospatial contexts and relations to the embodiment of social capital within individuals
