The small geographical scale (CCD) used to construct ethnic density provided a more accurate description of local circumstances than previous work which has relied upon larger spatial scales, helping to identify small 'pockets' of ethnic density and affluence that would otherwise have been hidden.
Focusing a critical eye on the restrictive and marginalising theoretical frameworks currently in use within gerontological research, Torres emphasises the need for gerontology scholars to expand the gerontological imagination and seriously address how the perspectives adopted by gerontology at present construct ethnic others.
In their qualitative study, Hadjiyanni and Helle (2009) found traditional foods are a means to re/claim the past and construct an ethnic or cultural identity for the Ojibwe, by eating traditional foods at least weekly, and a traditional food pattern of eating when hungry.
In fact, ethnic identity, a fluid construct at all times, is so ambiguous in Montenegro that the conflict threatening to break out there may, in the end, look less like another Milosevic Anschluss than like a truly fratricidal civil war.
Traditionally, the majority of Malagasy ethnic groups did not construct solid tombs for their dead.
The US is a nation that has a relatively weak ethnic identity; it's a cultural and ideological construct.
In our previous effort of assessing conserved underlying haplotype patterns across ethnic populations, we constructed common haplotypes using SNPs having conserved linkage disequilibrium (LD) across ethnic populations.
Construct an ethnic-specific chart and compare the prediction of adverse outcomes using this chart with the clinically recommended UK-WHO and customised birth weight charts using cut-offs for small-for-gestational age (SGA: birth weight <10th centile) and large-for-gestational age (LGA: birth weight >90th centile).
We construct a dynamic "ethnic spatial network" variable (also known as "weighted ethnic spatial lag", (Wy), as specified in the model section of our paper (Section 3.1.2), from individual-level data to account for networks in order to capture the effects of social and resource networks for immigrant groups.
Specifically, the DIF questions are not consistent measures of the QoL construct across all ethnic groups, providing little QoL-related information for one ethnic group but valuable information for another.
But they said approving it would require reversing a longstanding policy to avoid creating narrowly constructed ethnic programs.
