Socio-economic divergence in public opinions about preventive obesity regulations: Is the purpose to ‘make some things cheaper, more affordable’ or to ‘help them get over their own ignorance’?

This research is focused on the study of the assessment of the availability of interconnection of Sub Remote node Junín to the main node CORPAC Lima using a VSAT station. The work was performed for the communications area of the Peruvian Corporation of Airports and Commercial Aviation SA CORPAC located in the city of Lima, Callao. In the first chapter, we can see the current problems of the interconnection of Sub Node CORPAC Junín with the main node CORPAC Lima presenting in the second chapter a theoretical framework about the current link DIGIRED as well as VSTA stations and solutions integration with satellite link. In the third chapter, the materials, procedures, calculations and analysis methods used in this thesis are presented, so that in the fourth chapter, document the link design. Finally in the fifth chapter, the results will be analyzed and then the conclusions and recommendations obtained will be presented.La presente investigación se centra en el estudio de la evaluación de la disponibilidad de interconexión del Sub Nodo remoto Junín al Nodo principal CORPAC Lima usando una estación VSAT.

Domestic temporalities: sensual patterning in Persian migratory landscapes

When dealing with the moving worlds of migration among the Persian diaspora in Australia, memories cannot simply be removed to dusty attic boxes to be stored as an archive. Rather, this analysis takes the body and its sensory engagement with the world as a central focus, arguing that memories are crafted, tasted, smelt and touched in everyday temporalities. In the kitchens and lounges of Persian migrant women the lived past refuses to become undone from the countless revolutions of food, talk and domestic activity that are central to the patterning of memory. In this paper, we argue that these intimate practices have references beyond their domestic dimensions, for they point to a worldly movement of life writ domestically small. It is via a sensory network that the spatially and temporally disparate worlds of homeland and new homes are remembered and forgotten, and where miniature worlds call out to the movement of migration

Foucault's progeny: Jamie Oliver and the art of governing obesity

Jamie Oliver is an English celebrity chef who has publicly politicised the relationships between class and food in Britain. No longer a simple chef, Oliver is presented as an evangelical saint, salvation of British school dinners, advocate for young disadvantaged kids, and now with his latest series Ministry of Food, a saviour of the British obesity epidemic. In this series, the population of Rotherham is surveilled and targeted as representative of poor eating habits and lifestyles in Britain. In need of urgent intervention, the townsfolk are urged to make themselves anew and 'fight' their way out of the obesity epidemic. Moving beyond a mechanistic application of Foucault, this article examines the intersections of different technologies that give rise to specific lifestyle interventions, and the forms of resistance they generate. Through a convergence of the cultural technology of reality TV and technologies of self-governance, this article argues that a novel form of obesity intervention is being re-invented in a health promoting, neoliberal environment.Megan Wari

The glass cage: an ethnography of exposure in schizophrenia

This article draws upon anthropological research conducted with a group of people who have a diagnosis of schizophrenia and are living in a major Australian city. The analysis aims to show how these men and women experience their bodies at a day-to-day level, focusing on how they talk about their bodies, awareness of their bodies, and the relation of their bodies to the lived world. Rather than rely on established psychiatric classificatory models of interpretation, experiences are relocated within a broader framework of embodiment and social practice. The article argues that schizophrenia is not solely a 'disorder of the mind', but an experience which embodies and reproduces a multiplicity of cultural meanings associated with the concept of privacy. Through the close examination of one case study, the cultural logic of privacy is unpacked and shown to be at the core of many bodily experiences associated with schizophrenia. Reinterpreting such experiences in this light has implications for the ways in which those with schizophrenia are understood and treated

Threads of memory: Reproducing the cypress tree through sensual consumption

This paper is concerned with the ways in which a group of Persian women, who have all fled Iran in the last two decades, give meaning to place and memory through the everyday practices of cooking and embroidery. While there are many different localised arts of patterning and flavour, we focus here on the recurring pattern of bota (the Cypress tree). In particular, we examine how the bota motif links both the making of domestic sweets and cloths, and is central in recalling and remaking a sense of place. The Cypress tree symbolises life: the continuation of life in place, and the continuation of place in life. In creating and consuming the bota motif, through eating, laying tablecloths, wrapping towels, sitting on cushions and drawing curtains, embodied experiences of landscape and relationships are reproduced. The embroidery items entail and occasion sensual engagement in and of themselves, and also serve as backgrounds for specific sensual engagements, including, for example, as tablecloths upon which food will be served. Engagement with the bota pattern cannot be characterised along strictly divided sensual dimensions. Rather, we argue that the senses are intertwined in a synaesthetic knot in which memory is embodied and reproduced
