Professor traces diseases
Mielke visits islands to search for historical link
Eighteen years ago, Jim Mielke had a historical accident.
By Susan Davi
Kanean staff writer
Kansan staff writer
By Sarah Davis
He desperately was searching for a dissertation topic when his advising professor told him of a doctor who wrote about the lives of women in Finland, using church records.
And now, as a professor of anthropology at the University of Kansas, Mielke is proving that history is no accident.
That summer, Mielke went to Finland.
Mielke, along with professors in Utah, Finland and Amsterdam, is trying to show a historical link between genetic-based diseases and migration in Aland, a group of 6,600 islands between Finland and Sweden.
"We're focusing on these records as our basic data set, and we've coupled them with contemporary diseases, specifically genetic diseases that were on the islands." Mielke said.
He said he and the professors thought the research would help them better understand the relationship between the spread of diseases and the demography of the area.
Mielke is using Lutheran church records that date back to 1686 to find this information. So far, he has collected 123,000 records from the parishes. He said the records provided the most helpful information.
"We don't have records that go back that many generations," he said. "That adds to the uniqueness of his study."
"They're probably the most detailed and probably the most accurate." he said.
Mielke said that death records provided the most information, offering complete information about age, occupation and cause of death.
"Not just anyone can do it," he said. "It takes a certain amount of expertise. It's always good to have people involved." He incorporated it into their teaching.
David Frayer, chairperson of the department of anthropology, agreed and said there was not another place on the islands for this information.
Because Mielke is the only person doing this type of research at the University, Frayer said his work was admired and appreciated.
"You can find some fun things every now and then," he said.
Mieke said searching through the records.
A common cause of death was smallipox, he said.
Mielke said one of the more interesting causes of death was that of the 1912 Titanic shipwreck.
Diseases took many people's lives, especially during the War of Finland of 1908-1909 when soldiers lived with families in small farmhouses. Mielke said he was interested in the patterns of these diseases.
Next, he and his colleagues plan to research how diseases fit into family dynames.
Self-consciousness can be alleviated
By Amy Francis
Kansan staff writer
Pictures of people with perfect bodies in swimsuits are everywhere. It is easy to understand how self-consciousness about one's body might occur.
Dissatisfaction, with a certain aspect of one's body is not uncommon. Almost everyone has something they want to change about their bodies. But sometimes that desire for change can lead to a negative self-image, said Frank DeSalvo, director of counseling and psychological services at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
"I think any time a concern starts to dominate their lives to the detriment of other parts, that is a concern." DeSalvo said.
One reason people have negative self-images is their life experiences.
Joyce Everhart, a Lawrence psychiatrist. agreed.
'We're all influenced by things that happen to us. I think it's important to realize that self-worth and self-esteem are not something that people are born with.'
- Joyce Everhart
Lawrence psychiatrist
"Some people are given, or take on a life role. As long as they play that role, they'll always be that," DeSalvo said. "If your life role is to work, although it is painful, you'll set unrealistic goals that lead to failure."
"We're all influenced by things that happen to us." Everhart said. "I think it's important to realize that self-worth and self-esteem are not something that people are born with."
Everhart and DeSalvo agreed that a negative self-image did not only influence self-perception.
"I think it also gets in the way of building relationships." Desalvo said. "You really don't feel good enough."
Everhart said, "If they don't have their own self-love, then their need to please the other person can get in their way to please themselves."
Desalvo said that just as it takes time to build a relationship, it also takes time to build a positive self-image.
"It's a gradual process," he said. "They have to experience some sort of success in a relationship, or whatever area they are concerned with. The idea of changing to a successful lifestyle takes a lot of changes."
Some smaller changes, such as changing hair color or getting a date, can act as catalysts in changing self-image.
"The change is really the catapult to make them feel better about themselves," he said. "It actually gives them a chance." "We needed to make the changes within."
Everhart said taking a self-assessment about one's history was the first step toward a positive self-image. The assessment can show where the negative influences came from, making it easier to avoid them.
"Stay out of situations where you always get negative feedback," she said. "Begin to change your present environment to get positive feedback and then to get some success while you are having the positive feedback."
