Esta pesquisa analisa o trânsito religioso de pessoas que tiveram a sua biografia religiosa marcada pela participação/envolvimento em cultos evangélicos e que atualmente se declaram praticantes de ritos de candomblé e umbanda na região do ABCD paulista . Para a realização da mesma conduzimos entrevistas com líderes religiosos que nos ajudaram a compreender a organização dos terreiros de umbanda e candomblé na região; também aplicamos 80 questionários em oito terreiros espalhados pela região, compreendendo assim o perfil socioeconômico de seus frequentadores. Durante a análise dos questionários verificou-se a ocorrência do trânsito, de maneira ainda mais intensa entre praticantes da umbanda, e analisamos as motivações para esta movimentação religiosa, identificando ainda as motivações de gênero para esta movimentação, além das relações de trocas simbólicas estabelecidas entre os fiéis e as instituições religiosas. Verificamos os principais grupos evangélicos por onde estes sujeitos religiosos transitaram, observando possíveis semelhanças, bem como o distanciamento de suas práticas cúlticas e as práticas dos cultos afro-brasileiros.

This paper reports the evaluation of the effectiveness of incentives (viz. points and prizes) and of peer-group organisers ('older people's champions') in the outcomes of a health-improvement programme for people aged 50 + years in a multi-ethnic district of the West Midlands, England. Health promotion activities Were provided, and adherence, outcome variables and barriers to adherence were assessed over six months, using a `passport' format. Those aged in the fifties and of Asian origin Were under represented, but people of Afro-Caribbean origin were well represented and proportionately most likely to stay in the project. Those of greater age and With more illness were most likely to drop out. There were significant improvements in exercise, diet and the uptake of influenza vaccines and eyesight tests, but slighter improvements in wellbeing. Positive outcomes related to the incentives and to liking the format. The number of reported barriers was associated with lower involvement and lack of change, as was finding activities too difficult, the level of understanding, and transport and mobility problems, but when these were controlled, age did not predict involvement. Enjoying the scheme was related to positive changes, and this was associated with support from the older people's champions.

This article analyses the motivations for return migration among the Ecuadorians and Bolivians who, after living in Spain, returned to their countries of origin during the economic crisis that started in 2008. From the analysis of 22 interviews in-depth which took place in Ecuador and 38 in Bolivia to women, men and young people from migrant families, this decision-making process is shown to be embedded into a gendered dynamics of relationships. Particular detail is given to affective and economic elements that had an influence on the decision to return, as well as to the strategies deployed to project their readjustment back in origin. Males and females occupy differential positions within the family, work and social circle, their expectations being built in a gendered manner. Despite the fact migration has brought women greater economic power within the family group, their reintegration upon return redefines their role as main managers in the household and the dynamics that allow their social reproduction. Men, for their part, aspire to refresh their role as providers in spite of their frail labour position upon return. Social mobility for females is passed on through generations by a strong investment on education for their daughters and sons, while for males this mobility revolves around setting up family businesses and around their demonstrative abilities.

Ce mémoire porte sur l’expérience du déplacement forcé des Afro-Colombiennes, en Colombie. Dans ce pays, depuis plusieurs décennies, a lieu un conflit armé interne qui a pour effet la fuite de millions de personnes vers les périphéries des grands centres urbains. Afin de mettre en lumière leur vécu, et de comprendre les transformations suite au déplacement, j’ai recueilli les histoires de vie de 17 Afro-Colombiennes, victimes du déplacement forcé qui se sont installées illégalement dans l’un des quartiers au sud de Bogotá. Ces récits permettent de saisir leur situation avant le déplacement, pendant le déplacement et lors de leur arrivée à Bogotá. Les concepts d’expérience et de rapports sociaux de sexe permettent de comprendre le vécu de ces femmes et leur position en tant que femmes appartenant à une minorité connue pour faire partie des plus démunis.

This paper presents a prototype tracking system for tracking people in enclosed indoor environments where there is a high rate of occlusions. The system uses a stereo camera for acquisition, and is capable of disambiguating occlusions using a combination of depth map analysis, a two step ellipse fitting people detection process, the use of motion models and Kalman filters and a novel fit metric, based on computationally simple object statistics. Testing shows that our fit metric outperforms commonly used position based metrics and histogram based metrics, resulting in more accurate tracking of people.
