Authors: Elvir Percy
Published: September 2022

El propósito de este trabajo es mostrar cómo viven y afrontan la violencia del poder gubernamental los docentes hondureños. Este estudio partió del paradigma cualitativo, específicamente del método biográfico-narrativo. La estrategia utilizada para la obtención de la información fue la documentación narrativa de experiencias pedagógicas, cuya dimensión configura el eje de documentar y tornar pública la experiencia docente. Se puso en práctica el análisis narrativo que permitió elaborar tres historias que reflejaran el fenómeno. Los hallazgos de la investigación revelaron que, los docentes hondureños viven un acecho constante, por medio de la coacción y fuerza a lo interno y externo compuesto de amenazas, atentados físicos, discriminación, segregación y descalificación. Afrontaron los embates a través del apoyo grupal entre docentes, respaldo de organizaciones magisteriales y sus capacidades de autorregulación. En definitiva, se estableció una atmósfera educativa física y psicológica que desemboco en una flagrante violación a los Derechos Humanos que es remanente de una crisis política.

Introduction: Tuberculosis is a chronic, highly contagious disease caused by the Bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis and spreads from person to person through air. Tuberculosis affects lungs majorly but also affects other parts of the body, such as brain, intestine, spine and kidney. The main cause for patient’s non-adherence to anti-tuberculosis therapy is ADRs of varying degrees of severity such as hepatotoxicity etc. Aim: This study aimed to provide proper understanding of Adverse drug reactions resulted due to Anti-TB drug therapy in TB patients based on various studies done on Anti-TB agents induced ADRs. Conclusion:Anti- Tuberculosisdrug (Anti-TB)could cause several ADRs both mild and severe types majority of ADR were wild, more attention is needed to prevent ADR and enhance current Anti-TB therapy. The study suggests that for more better in depth understanding and prevention of Anti-TB drug ADR many more studies with larger population is needed, also the current Anti-TB therapy requires some revisionto prevent fatal hepatotoxicity.

Published: September 2022

Women’s health, including sexual and reproductive health, is integral to that of the whole person. The freedom to choose and decide on one’s own life’s path, including whether or not to have a family and when to start a family, hinges on this. Access to correct information, effective and inexpensive methods of contraception, and timely services and support in response to unexpected pregnancies are all components of reproductive health that go beyond just physical well-being. However, there is still a lack of familiarity with reproductive health services among policymakers, programme managers, and the general public in India, despite the fact that the Indian government has reaffirmed its commitment to the values of the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development. The present paper’s major goal is to examine the current social and legal impediments in India that are affecting women’s health and well-being as well as to provide strategies for overcoming those barriers.

Critique of Justificatory Tendencies in Counter-terrorism Policies: The Case of Iraq
Authors: Zegaoui Nabil
Published: September 2022

Situated within the field of critical terrorism studies, this paper explores how counterterrorism narratives legitimise terrorism discourse and counterterrorism measures. It shows how military and security counterterrorism policies have been abused in the wake of 9/11 to the detriment of individual rights and liberties, as well as state stability in the case of Iraq. The paper draws on just war and securitisation theories and adopts a critical analysis methodology to revisit these theories from an empirical perspective, examining the implications of their application to counterterrorism policies, specifically in Iraq. The study concludes that the response to terrorist threats was unjustified and entirely counterproductive, elucidating the magnitude and scope of this disproportionate response and the consequences for individual rights and freedoms.

Objectives: To evaluate an explanatory model of direct and indirect associations regarding the psychological health of older caregivers of functionally dependent older adults. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study performed with older caregivers recruited in contexts of outpatient and home care. We collected information on sociodemographic characteristics, duration of caregiving, physical and cognitive function indicators of the older care recipients, perceived burden, family functioning, and psychological health measures (psychological need satisfaction and depressive symptoms). Results: We evaluated 133 caregivers (76% female, 69.5 ± 6.98 years). Variables that were significantly correlated with psychological health were selected to form an association model to be tested by structural equation modeling via path analysis. Depressive symptom variability was best explained by this model. Caregiver burden remained in the model as a mediator of indirect associations between physical function for instrumental activities of daily living and indicators of family functioning and psychological health. Three associative paths between caregiver burden and depressive symptoms were found — one of them was direct and the other two were mediated whether by family functioning or by the level of psychological need satisfaction. Conclusion: Depressive symptoms were the psychological health indicator best explained by the model involving instrumental functional demands that generate burden. Clinical consequences suggested by the model indicate interventions aimed at family functioning and opportunities of psychological need satisfaction as strategies for promoting caregivers’ psychological health.
Sustaining social licence to operate using community engagement: a case of Konkola Copper Mines - Nchanga, Zambia
Authors:   Konkola Copper Mines plc, Mazyopa L , Chileshe Peter ,   Copperbelt University
Published: September 2022

The mining industry has both positive and negative impacts on their host communities. Therefore, it is not enough for mines to only rely on the legal licence, but instead, they need to nurture a trust-based relationship with the community called ‘Social License to Operate’ (SLO). The main objective of the study was to examine how ‘Social License to Operate’ can be developed and sustained using community engagement between Konkola Copper Mines - Nchanga Mine (KCM) and the communities within 10 km radius from the mine operations in Chingola, Zambia. The conceptual and theoretical framework of the study was grounded in the ‘Relative Deprivation Theory’ and the ‘Social Identity Theory’. The methodology of the study was qualitative and delved into a contemporary stakeholder risk issue affecting KCM. Therefore, data in the form of voice recordings and field notes was collected through 28 semi-structured interviews out of an estimated population size of over 28,000 households from five research sites, namely, Chiwempala, Nchanga North, Kapisha, Lulamba and Shimulala in Chingola that sufficiently demonstrated data saturation in the participants’ responses. From data collected, analysis and interpretation, through ‘Thematic Content Data Analysis’, three themes emerged which were adopted as variables of ‘Trust’; ‘Social Infrastructure’ and ‘Interactional Trust’ which deals with the quality and quantity of engagement while ‘Procedural Fairness’ looks at how the mine’s stakeholder engagement and grievance mechanism procedures contributed towards building a mutual relationship with the community. Of the 28 participants, 34 per cent benefitted from the mines through access to income generation while the remainder were negatively impacted through unemployment, poor community infrastructure, high moral decay, poor social services delivery and environmental pollution. Further, 69 per cent complained of lack of engagement and only 7 per cent expressed satisfaction on how their complaints were resolved. Further 67 110 per cent did not share any relationship with the mine. Key findings, based on this research, were that KCM – Nchanga Mine has a mixed ‘Social License to Operate’ because four townships accepted the company while one township strongly felt that they do not share any relationship with the mine as they had not benefitted from the mineral wealth naturally entitled to them. The conclusion was that it is cardinal for mines to develop a highly active collaborative relationship with the community as a pathway to sustainable mining. The recommendation was that lessons learnt from this study can be adopted by other mines with legacy socio-environmental issues to build and maintain their ‘Social License to Operate’ through having a robust integrated community engagement system.
