“…Si bien el libro The Civic Culture puede ser un punto de partida para la discusión, no hay que olvidar que a lo largo de los años el libro recibió largas y exhaustivas críticas. En efecto, se puede consultar una amplísima bibliografía sobre el tema (Benedicto 1995;Almond y Verba 1980;Somers 1997aSomers y 1997bCastillo y Crespo 1997;Morán 1997;Gibbins 1989;Heras 2002;Winocur 2002). En este texto, sin embargo, interesa resaltar algunos supuestos que aún es menester explicitar, así como las principales críticas que luego servirán para formular herramientas para el estudio de las prácticas.…”

Este artículo retoma coordenadas analíticas sobre la relación entre cultura y política, con el fin de orientar una caja de herramientas teórico-metodológicas a ser utilizadas en la investigación empírica sobre prácticas políticas. Se presentan las críticas más relevantes al modelo clásico de estudio sobre cultura política, para luego formular elementos de un marco analítico con factores de economía política, estructura social, incentivos institucionales y agencia política. Se muestran esbozos empíricos de una agenda de investigación cualitativa y etnográfica sobre prácticas políticas. Se cierra con un acápite heurístico sobre la aproximación etnográfica en ciencias sociales.

“…In addition, this approach shows the reliance of lifestyle on a person's mind map, objectives and meaningfulness system. According to Gibbins and Reimer (1999), lifestyle is the product of the choices made by individuals in their everyday life. While there is no indication of the subject of purpose, there is an implicit reference to the system of meaningfulness by deliberating the topic of selection, which links lifestyle to the meaning of life.…”

Lifestyles are evidence for the influence of systems, cultures and civilisations within various societies. In view of that, all systems of thought aim to maintain certain ways of living in citizens to implement their ideals. Furthermore, if societies do not accept the lifestyles introduced by such systems, their intellectual foundations and values are rejected. In this regard, the Islamic lifestyle does not imply giving up all pleasures and blessings, but it takes on a divine colour to all pleasures. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between religious lifestyle and social health among 1000 Muslim teachers working in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, over a period of six months, in 2020–21. Utilising the simple random sampling method, 278 teachers were thus selected as the statistical sample and then completed some questionnaires on Islamic lifestyle and social health. Data analysis was also performed using the structural equation modeling (SEM) in the Linear Structural Relations (LISREL) statistical software package. The results demonstrated a significant positive correlation between Islamic lifestyle and social health (p = 0.58, t = 6.84).Contribution: The study results showed the importance of Islamic lifestyle in improving teachers’ social health.

“…Due to modern communication techniques, one might share the culture of the community based on the other side of the globe, or, even more likely, with its headquarters in cyberspace. Thus, the postmodern geopolitical map of the world is no longer divided in nation-states, rather a spider-web of cultures and communities (9).…”

Public health and bioterrorism: renewed threat of anthrax and smallpox

Bioterrorism is one of the main public health categorical domains. According to sociological analytics, in postmodern society terrorism is one of the real threats of the 21st century. While rare, the use of biological weapons has a long history. Recently, anthrax has been evaluated as one of the most dangerous biological weapons. Naturally occurring anthrax in humans is a disease acquired from contact with anthrax-infected animals or anthrax-contaminated animal products. Usually anthrax infection occurs in humans by three major routes: inhalational, cutaneous, and gastrointestinal. Inhalational anthrax is expected to account for most serious morbidity and most mortality. The clinical presentation of inhalation anthrax has been described as a two-stage illness. Many factors contribute to the pathogenesis of Bacillus anthracis. Antibiotics, anthrax globulin, corticosteroids, mechanical ventilation, vaccine are possible tools of therapy. Smallpox existed in two forms: variola major, which accounted for most morbidity and mortality, and a milder form, variola minor. Smallpox spreads from person to person primarily by droplet nuclei or aerosols expelled from the oropharynx of infected persons and by direct contact. In the event of limited outbreak with few cases, patients should be admitted to the hospital and confined to rooms that are under negative pressure and equipped with high-efficiency particulate air filtration. In larger outbreaks, home isolation and care should be the objective for most patients. Progress in detection, suitable vaccines, postexposure prophylaxis, infection control, and decontamination might be serious tools in fight against the most powerful biological weapon. To assure that the public health and healthcare system can respond to emergencies, the government should direct resources to strengthen the emergency-response system, create medication stockpiles, and improve the public health infrastructure.
