Tales about tuberculosis and colonization: the socio-cultural experience of tuberculosis in Nunavut.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To examine how Inuit in Nunavut experience and make meaning of TB, its history, protocols and regimes, and how this and the effects of historical and continuing colonization in Nunavut influence current levels of TB in Nunavut. DESIGN AND METHODS: The study was qualitative, conducted through seven months of fieldwork in two Nunavut communities utilising ethnographic methods including 42 taped interviews, casual conversations, participant observation and document review. RESULTS: Inuit participants include explanations other than biomedical when making meaning of TB, and health and disease generally. Also, Inuit participants express a preference for methods of health education different from those presently employed. Lastly, and perhaps more importantly, this study suggests that the history of colonization and continuing colonization play a significant role in how some Inuit experience TB, other disease, and health, and in the high incidence of TB in Nunavut. CONCLUSION: In order to decrease incidence of TB and increase levels of health in Nunavut decolonizing measures are necessary.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
