“…Following Hubbard (2006), this paper does not aim at classifying 'some nimby campaigns more "valid" than others'. To avoid the problems of using the term NIMBY with its moralising undertones, I argue that the most fruitful sociological approach is to understand NIMBY conflicts as being more about conflicting modes of valuation and how situations are evaluated by the actors (Lamont, 2012;Centemeri, 2014), as they are about residents' conflicting interests in local issues.…”

“…When opposing local land-use projects, in addition to the actual arguments residents use, they also try to qualify the dispute and the particular local environment (Trom, 1999;Lolive, 1997;Thévenot, Moody & Lafaye, 2000). This is done in order to settle, which way of valuing the local environment should be seen as the situationally correct one -which mode of valuation should be used (Centemeri, 2014). The primarily self-interested NIMBY-opposition of the earliest research is but one of the possible modes of valuation, the other two being the familiar attachments to places and common-good based justifications.…”

“…The French pragmatic approach has been used in research on local land-use conflicts (Richard-Ferroudji, 2011;Thévenot, Moody & Lafaye, 2000;Centemeri, 2014;Gladarev & Lonkila, 2013;Blok & Meilvang, 2014). These writers have focused on either developing the theoretical model (Centemeri, 2014;, or on close inspection of the engagements in single conflict (Gladarev & Lonkila, 2013;Blok & Meilvang, 2014). In this paper, I take a more macro empirical perspective -looking at a broad range of land-use conflicts in Helsinki.…”

“…In this paper, I take a more macro empirical perspective -looking at a broad range of land-use conflicts in Helsinki. In this framework, the practical grammars of valuation (Centemeri, 2014) are seen as cultural resources used by actors within society (Swidler, 1986;Luhtakallio, 2012;). I present the three grammars, understood as modes of valuation used in argumentation (For a summary, see Table 1 on page 12).…”

Abstract:This paper presents a new way of understanding local land-use conflicts, also called NIMBY, developing from justification theory and literature from the sociology of engagements. The article builds on the multiple systems of valuation used by people to perceive local land-use cases as conflicts, following the pragmatic sociology of Boltanski and Thévenot (1999, 2006). The conflicts are shown to be not only about conflicting interests of the residents, but also about broader conflicting systems of valuation. Empirically, land-use cases in Helsinki, Finland are analysed to show the variety of argumentation used by residents opposing land-use. Over 500 dispute letters are analysed, vast majority of which base their argumentation on common good. About 40% also use argumentation based on individual interest. Argumentation based on close familiar affinities is rare but existing, which might be because of the type of data used in the article. The framework used allows for the non-moralising use of the concept NIMBY when describing the conflicts.

How Agent Orange impacts prostate cancer risk, pathology, and treatment outcomes

Between 2.6 and 3.8 million veterans served in Vietnam while the US military dispersed Agent Orange (AO), although the exact number of exposed individuals is unknown. Agent Orange, an herbicide, is a known risk factor for various cancers, including sarcoma and leukemia, but less is known about its link with prostate cancer (PC). Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy in men and the fifth most common cause of cancer-related death in men worldwide. In 2023, approximately 288,300 patients will be given a diagnosis of PC, and an estimated 34,700 fatalities will occur in the United States. However, whether the pathologic characteristics of PC among those exposed to AO differ from those in the general population remains unclear. Our review synthesizes the literature regarding the impact of AO exposure on PC incidence and disease course. A comprehensive PubMed literature search of articles published beginning in 1950 was performed using the primary search terms “Agent Orange,” “TCDD,” and “tetrachlorodibenzodioxin” and the secondary search terms “prostate cancer” or “prostate neoplasm.” The search was limited to studies that focused on human participants and were published in English. Four authors thoroughly reviewed the retrieved articles for relevancy to the study aims: discussion of PC diagnosis, prognosis, or management among patients exposed to AO. Of 108 studies identified in our search, 13 were included in this systematic review. Findings within studies concerning AO exposure with relation to PC incidence, age at diagnosis or treatment initiation, and PC severity seemed to be mixed and generally conflicting. However, the literature seems to indicate that there are no significant differences in survivorship between exposed and unexposed veterans who are given a diagnosis of PC. Given these heterogeneous outcomes, the evidence does not encourage a significantly different approach to the diagnosis and management of PC for veterans exposed to AO. Clinicians should make case-by-case decisions regarding PC screening and potential treatment options for this patient group, weighing clinical suspicion against the harms of diagnostic workup and treatment.
