Environmental health
sciences (EHS) span many diverse disciplines.
Within the EHS community, the National Institute of Environmental
Health Sciences Superfund Research Program (SRP) funds multidisciplinary
research aimed to address pressing and complex issues on how people
are exposed to hazardous substances and their related health consequences
with the goal of identifying strategies to reduce exposures and protect
human health. While disentangling the interrelationships that contribute
to environmental exposures and their effects on human health over
the course of life remains difficult, advances in data science and
data sharing offer a path forward to explore data across disciplines
to reveal new insights. Multidisciplinary SRP-funded teams are well-positioned
to examine how to best integrate EHS data across diverse research
domains to address multifaceted environmental health problems. As
such, SRP supported collaborative research projects designed to foster
and enhance the interoperability and reuse of diverse and complex
data streams. This perspective synthesizes those experiences as a
landscape view of the challenges identified while working to increase
the FAIR-ness (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable)
of EHS data and opportunities to address them.
This chapter discusses the factors that have led to the emergence of expressions of criticism toward tourism. This review serves to frame the original contribution of this text: a theoretical model that clarifies the defining features of the main attitudes towards tourism. Merton's model is here adjusted for the analysis of a new relationship between social ends and economic means. In this case, the end is economic progress. The way is the tourism, conceived as a massive social phenomenon. The relation between goals and means generates tensions. Its management derives in strategies of adaptation that include different ways of identification or discussion. The five types of adaptation of the new model are useful for addressing subject positions, political discourses, or attitudinal dispositions towards tourism. To illustrate this typology a purposive sampling of news on the tourismphobia has been selected, with no statistical generalization reflecting the constituent elements of each of the types: legitimization, innovative criticism, resignation, radical criticism, and subversive utopia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
