“…This prompts the perception of a unique system of longitudinal measurements that is not applicable to the outside world despite the introduction of the metric system, as it could lead to a phobia of islands in visitors who feel trapped 5 on islands (Espínola & Cravidao, 2014). Something similar happens when considering time.…”

ABSTRACT:The cultural identity of each of the larger islands that make up the Balearic archipelago is shown through the local geographical terminology and toponymy, which are results of the successive overlapping of languages and cultures brought to the islands by various peoples throughout history. By classifying and analyzing the toponymy and geographical terminology of the Balearic Islands, unique particularities can be found. There are differences between each of the islands, as well as with non-island territory, as a result of centuries of isolation. This same isolation has also led to the preservation of terminology and other linguistic aspects, and has created an endemic culture. The results of the records of terminology that contribute to the geographical and cultural characterization of the Balearic Islands are presented along with some keys to understanding the islands' idiosyncrasies.https://doi.org/10.24043/isj.15Keywords: Balearic Islands, cultural identity, ethnography, geographical terminology, nissology, toponymy Nissology, geography, and toponymyDespite the course of action begun by Moles (1982) and the opinion of McCall (1996) that the new millennium would be the one of island sciences, to Espínola & Cravidao (2014) who highlighted the contribution of geography to their expertise, nissology 1 , or islandology, undoubtedly has a promising future. This is true not only because the world is full of islands (Baldacchino, 2006), but because of the valuable role that they play when considering any of the three lines of research suggested by King (2010). As geographers, we are convinced that an interdisciplinary approach must be taken to address island-based topics, and in line with the criteria proposed by Bonnemaison (1990Bonnemaison ( -1991 and the terminology by Depraetere (1990Depraetere ( -1991, we value the contributions made by other branches of science, like economics, and especially, sociology, anthropology, and psychology. Very related to these last three, we believe that geographical surveying can be of great help in correctly understanding island phenomena, just as it is when it comes to understanding the mechanisms behind toponymy. It should be noted that, in this respect, the information that can be gathered from the name of a place can be analyzed from various perspectives: from its meaning, 1 Of Greek origin: nesos, νησί (Vieira, 2010).

Resumo Objetivo Analisar o perfil do estado funcional e os fatores associados em pessoas idosas residentes na Ilha de Fernando de Noronha/Pernambuco, Brasil. Método Tratou-se de um estudo seccional, de caráter analítico, e a coleta de dados foi conduzida entre agosto e outubro de 2019. A população do estudo compreendeu 176 pessoas idosas residentes na ilha. O protocolo de coleta foi aplicado por meio de entrevista para resposta ao questionário de variáveis demográficas, sociais, clínicas e ambientais, e aos instrumentos de avaliação. O estado funcional foi determinado a partir da Análise de Classes Latentes, avaliada pelos protocolos dos domínios: cognição, humor, atividades instrumentais de vida diária, mobilidade e comunicação. Resultados O modelo da análise escolhido possuiu duas classes, nomeadas como: “Boa autonomia e independência” e “Moderada autonomia e dependência parcial”. A maioria das pessoas idosas apresentou bom estado funcional e os fatores associados foram: pertencer ao sexo masculino, ser separado ou divorciado, viver sozinho, visitar os amigos ou parentes, ter trabalhado mais de 36 anos, ser alfabetizado, não ter deficiência visual ou auditiva, fazer uso de uma ou duas medicações e ter história de queda. Conclusão O estado funcional das pessoas idosas insulares se apresentou como um fenômeno multifatorial, pois fatores demográficos, sociais e clínicos estiveram associados de forma independente à boa funcionalidade. É importante que a manutenção do estado funcional seja incentivada na implementação de políticas públicas voltadas às especificidades das populações residentes em ilhas.

Objective To analyze the functional status profile and associated factors in older persons living on Fernando de Noronha Island/Pernambuco, Brazil. Method This was a cross-sectional, analytical study, and data collection was conducted between August and October 2019. The study population comprised 176 older persons living on the island. The collection protocol was applied through an interview to respond to the behavior of demographic, social, clinical and environmental variables, and to the assessment instruments. The functional status was determined from the Analysis of Latent Classes, evaluated by the protocols of the domains: cognition, mood, instrumental activities of daily living, mobility and communication. Results The chosen analysis model had two classes, named as: “Good autonomy and independence” and “Moderate autonomy and partial dependence”. Most older persons had good functional status and the associated factors were: being male, being separated or divorced, living alone, visiting friends or relatives, having worked more than 36 years, being literate, not having a visual or hearing impairment, taking one or two medications and having a history of falls. Conclusion The functional status of island older persons was presented as a multifactorial phenomenon, as demographic, social and clinical factors remained independently associated with good functionality. It is important that the maintenance of the functional state is encouraged in the implementation of public policies aimed at the specificities of populations residing on islands.
