Battling Alone on Multiple Fronts – How Gender Norms Affect the Soldiers’ Wife as Caregiver in India
Authors: Butola Savita , Butola Damini
Published: August 2024

Objectives:

Women form the backbone of caregiving in palliative home care throughout the world. They put in more intense care for longer hours, perform more intimate tasks, and face more physical and mental strain, comorbidities, anxiety, and depression. However, gender norms that perceive caregiving as a natural part of femininity dismiss this as part of their duty toward their family, thus making their care work invisible, taken for granted, and devalued. This results in women bearing more burden with less support and no appreciation and suffering more negative mental and physical health outcomes than men. Globally, women perform 76.2% of unpaid care work. India ranks a dismal – 135 out of 146 countries in the 2022 Gender Gap report. Less than 10% of Indian men participate in household work. Women in rural India continue to be less educated; the majority are not allowed to travel alone and are culturally not involved in decision-making, which is done by the males. Wives of armed forces personnel are forced to live without their husbands for long periods. This leads to even more challenges when they also need to take care of patients with life-limiting illnesses. No study has been done on this population till now. This study aimed to explore the experiences of the women in armed forces families, caring at home for patients with palliative needs.

Materials and Methods:

This was a qualitative study based on a thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with adult caregivers – either serving personnel or their dependent family members.

Results:

Female relatives were the main caregivers in 13 cases; the majority belonged to rural areas, were between 22 and 47 years of age, most were married, had young children, and reported health issues of their own. Major themes that emerged include lack of information, the expectation of being a caregiver irrespective of ability/needs, physical and psychological burden, neglected emotional needs, difficulty in traveling alone, social isolation, loss of employment with the financial burden, stigmatisation and ill-treatment of widows by in-laws.

Conclusion:

‘Soldier’s wives, who must stay alone, face increased burdens as they face not only the physical and emotional burden of caregiving but also the additional challenges of living alone, mostly in rural Indian society, where gender norms are still deeply ingrained. Creating awareness about this vulnerable community among palliative care providers is required to improve services for them. There is also an urgent need for identifying, challenging, and addressing stereotyped roles and disparities in healthcare systems, practices, care goals, and policies by sensitising staff, educating families, developing gender-sensitive resources and support systems, initiating care discussions, and undertaking more gender-related research.

Исследования в области больших языковых моделей (Large Language Models) и систем обработки естественного языка (Natural Language Processing) активизировались из-за появления новых, латентных и серьезных рисков, например, нарушений процессов генерации вывода, вредоносных запросов в автоматическом режиме. Разрабатываются синергетические сценарии применения больших языковых моделей. Основная гипотеза, учитываемая в данном исследовании – возможность страховки (с заданной вероятностью) от генерации запрещенного контента и его «подмешивания» к пользовательскому запросу, учет онтологических свойств и связей для улучшения качества поиска в практических задачах, например, с помощью библиотеки онтологий. Использованы методы анализа-синтеза, моделирования-прогнозирования, экспертно-эвристические, теории вероятностей и принятия решений. Основные результаты статьи: 1) аналитика по проблемам применения больших языковых моделей в достижении устойчивости в инфраструктуре системы (предложена таблица ключевых методов); 2) предложена языковая модель устойчивости сетевой инфраструктуры на основе оценок распределений при подмешивании слов, в которой использован байесовский метод; 3) предложена и исследована аналогичная языковая модель на основе экспертно-эвристического подхода к оценке рисков (неопределенностей в системе), в частности, с использованием информационно-энтропийного подхода. Исследование можно развивать, усложняя модели (гипотезы) и «глубину» учета рисков.

Research in the field of large language models and natural language processing systems has intensified due to the emergence of new, latent and serious risks, for example, violations of the output generation processes, malicious requests in automatic mode. Synergistic scenarios for large language models are being developed. The main hypothesis taken into account in this study is the possibility of insurance (with a given probability) from the generation of prohibited content and its "mixing" with the user query, taking into account ontological properties and connections to improve the quality of search in practical tasks, for example, using an ontology library. Methods of analysis-synthesis, modeling-forecasting, expert-heuristic, probability theory and decision-making were used. The main results of the article: 1) analytics on the problems of applying large language models in achieving stability in the system infrastructure (a table of key methods was proposed); 2) a language model of network infrastructure stability based on estimates of distributions when mixing words is proposed, which uses the Bayesian method; 3) a similar language model was proposed and studied on the basis of an expert-heuristic approach to assessing risks (uncertainties in the system), in particular, using an information-entropy approach. Research can be developed by complicating models (hypotheses) and the "depth" of risk accounting.

Acorus calamus is a plant that is widely used in Far Eastern and Asian countries and has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti microbial, and anti-cancer effects. Prostate cancer is a sort of cancer that is frequently diagnosed and has a high mortality rate in men. Only a limited number of studies are available showing the effects of Acorus calamus on prostate cancer. To assess the effects of Acorus calamus extract on caspase and anti-apoptotic and proapoptotic markers that play a role in the apoptotic process of LNCaP cells in prostate cancer by conducting an in vitro study. LNCaP cells were incubated for 24 and 48 hours and treated with different concentrations of an ethanolic extract of Acorus calamus ranging from 250 to 700 µg/ml. Caspase-3, -8, and -9, Bcl-2, Bax, APAF-1, Bcl-XL, and p53 levels were measured using the ELISA method. Quantitative gene expression analyzes of Bcl-2 and Bax were performed using real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction. The Mann-Whitney U and Tukey tests were used to analyse differences between groups. p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Caspase-3 and -8 and APAF-1 levels were found to be significantly higher in the 48th-hour application of 700 µg/ml of Acorus calamus extract than in the control group (p<0.05, p<0.001, and p<0.001, respectively). Bcl-2 was significantly lower and Bax/Bcl-2 expression ratio was significantly higher at all doses for 24 and 48 hours compared to the control group (p<0.001 for all). Although, caspase-9, Bcl-XL, and p53 were higher in experimental groups than controls, no significant difference was found. This study supported the time- and dose-dependent anti-cancer effects of Acorus calamus on LNCaP cells of the prostate cancer type. Further preclinical and clinical studies are requisite to support our findings.

Tourism development certainly cannot be separated from the role of the community as development agents who in principle have the same authority and responsibility as the government in managing tourism. This concept is known as community-based tourism, namely tourism management that promotes active participation from the community. This research aims to examine development efforts carried out by the community as a form of participation in the development of halal tourism in West Aceh Regency and analyze the obstacles faced in tourism management. This research is descriptive qualitative research. There were 9 research informants from three sub-districts, namely Samatiga, Johan Pahlawan and Panton Reu sub-districts. Data collection was carried out by means of interviews, observation and documentation studies. The theory used in this research is the convergence model of communication with seven indicators, namely information, uncertainty, convergence, respect, mutual agreement, collective action, and network of relationships. The results of the study show that community participation in tourism development efforts in West aceh district is still relatively minimal. This is because some people still think that tourism management is still the full responsibility of the government. The obstacles identified in the implementation of tourism development include the belief that tourism management is still the government's responsibility, the assumption that tourism practices can violate the rules of Islamic law, and the lack of community competence in tourism management so that special training is needed to be provided to the community by government.

This study was motivated by the existence of illegal oil drilling activities that have been going on for a long time and pose a high risk to the safety of workers, even local residents. Even though oil well fires often occur and victims suffer from burns and even death, this activity still continues. This research uses a qualitative approach, with a case study type of research based on observation, interview and documentation data. Meanwhile, technical analysis is carried out through Narrative Analysis. The research results show that the phenomenon of drilling old oil wells in Buket Pala Village has been carried out for decades. Mining workers have been able to utilize available resources so that they have more economic value. The old oil well has become the lifeblood of the village community. It is good for the mining community as well as for residents who receive an abundance of oil proceeds from "oil melting" activities. Apart from that, the existence of mining old oil wells also poses dangerous risks such as work accidents, fires, explosions and even fatalities. Apart from that, pollution and environmental damage will also occur. The situation was made worse because the activity did not meet standard operational procedures or technical requirements for the mining process. Therefore, in the future, efforts will be made to manage old oil wells by village/regional companies, namely BUMD/BUMG and Village Unit Cooperatives (KUD). This is intended to achieve the aim of improving the welfare of the community evenly around the location as well as to regulate the business of extracting oil from old wells, so that the management of existing old oil wells will no longer occur illegal drilling and increase village income.

Authors: O. Frank Lydia. , Parth Sarthi Pradhan
Published: August 2024

Climate change and variability pose significant threats to southern Africa, with projected continuous drought in Botswana. This study examines the causal relationships between African-Indian monsoon systems (East Africa, West Africa, and Peninsula India), the Mascarene High, and interannual rainfall variability over Botswana. Using statistical analysis and mapping techniques (Pearson correlation statistics and convergent cross mapping (CCM)), the authors analysed the impact of these weather systems on rainfall variability from 1979 to 2021. The findings reveal significant negative associations between these weather systems and interannual rainfall variability in Botswana, shedding light on their crucial roles in shaping the region's rainfall patterns. Bidirectional causation between different regions and the Mascarene High was observed, emphasising the interconnectedness of rainfall patterns. Significant findings include the bidirectional causation between Botswana and West Africa rainfall during March–May (MAM) and October–December (OND) seasons. In addition, the authors also observed bidirectional causation between Botswana and Peninsula Indian rainfall during the OND season. The study highlights the potential of these factors in predicting extreme events and assists in planning for potential risks associated with rainfall variability in Botswana to promote community awareness and education on climate change and variability, water conservation, and sustainable livelihood.

It is clear that Lh < Lt, it can be concluded that the research variables come from a normally distributed population. In the control normality test, the Lh value = 0.15659, while the Lt value = 0.161. It is clear that Lh > Lt means it can be concluded that the research variables come from a normally distributed population. Keywords: HOTS, Focus, Entrepreneurship, Creativity.

Di era kekinian adalah penting bagi sektor publik mengembangkan sistem pembayaran belanja tanpa uang tunai (cashless) seiring perkembangan teknologi keuangan. Penerbitan kartu kredit pemerintah (corporate credit card) merupakan inovasi penting mengurangi risiko kehilangan aset berwujud kas. Studi ini bertujuan untuk meninjau penggunaan uang persediaan melalui kartu kredit pemerintah untuk pembayaran belanja pemerintah. Metode kualitatif digunakan untuk memahami bagaimana implementasi penggunaan kartu kredit pemerintah melalui observasi dan wawancara. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa objek studi menerapkan prosedur uang persediaan kartu kredit pemerintah sesuai dengan peraturan berlaku. Kesesuaian ini sangat dipengaruhi tata kelola pembukuan yang sudah baik. Dalam pengelolaan belanja, objek studi merasa terbantu dengan adanya inovasi uang persediaan kartu kredit pemerintah, meskipun saat studi dilakukan masih terdapat kendala penerapannya, terutama belum semua rekanan memiliki mesin yang menerima pembayaran kartu kredit.
Paying for School Finance Reforms: How States Raise Revenues to Fund Increases in Elementary-Secondary Education Expenditures
Authors: McNeill Shelby M. , Candelaria Christopher A.
Published: August 2024

This study investigates how individual states raise revenue to pay for elementary-secondary education spending following school finance reforms (SFRs). We identify states that increased and sustained education expenditures after reform, search for legislative statutes that appropriated more education spending, and assess how policymakers funded the SFRs. Our results show that state legislatures increase investments in education by increasing tax revenue streams, such as sales and excise taxes, and by taking over property tax collections. Considering these results, we discuss that increased state investment in education should be accompanied by a policy mechanism to distribute state aid equitably to districts. Moreover, policymakers should consider local voters’ preferences when implementing SFR policies, as tax increases may reduce local fiscal effort for education.

Diaporthe species can inhabit various hosts with different lifestyles and live as endophytes, pathogens, and saprobes. Our study analysed 180 endophytic Diaporthe isolates from Miconia sp. in the Atlantic Forest, Brosimum gaudichaudii in the Brazilian savanna (Cerrado),
and Anacardium occidentale in the Caatinga forest and Cerrado in Brazil. Based on multi-locus phylogenetic analyses [β-tubulin (tub2), internal transcribed spacer regions and intervening 5.8S rRNA (ITS), translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1), calmodulin (cmdA), and histone (his3)]
and morphological features, we are introducing seven new species (D. azevedoi, D. catimbauensis, D. coracoralinae, D. luizorum, D. pedratalhadensis, D. samambaiaensis, and D. vargemgrandensis) and reporting seven known species (D. fructicola, D. inconspicua, D. infertilis,
D. paranensis, D. raonikayaporum, D. schini, and D. ueckeri). We also included a morphological description of D. infertilis and synonymised D. lutescens, D. pseudoinconspicua, and D. samaneae under D. inconspicua; D. neoraonikayoporum under D. raonikayaporum;
and D. passifloricola, D. rosae, and D. vochysiae under D. ueckeri, based on limited nucleotide differences among DNA sequence data and overlapping morphological features. Our results highlight the importance of including endophytic isolates in the phylogeny of Diaporthe,
and show how these data expand the geographic distribution and host relationships of known species.

During entomopathogenic fungal surveys conducted in Thailand, 15 specimens tentatively classified under Akanthomyces sensu lato were identified. To gain a comprehensive understanding of their taxonomy, molecular phylogenies using combined LSU, TEF1, RPB1, and RPB2 sequence data,
together with morphological examination of several Akanthomyces spp. from previous studies were conducted. The analyses revealed distinct clades representing independent lineages within the Cordycipitaceae. These clades were further characterized by different asexual morph types
and the respective hosts they parasitize. In this context, we resurrected the genus Lecanicillium to accommodate 12 known species previously classified under Akanthomyces sensu lato, found on diverse hosts. We propose four new genera ? Corniculantispora, Corpulentispora, Zarea,
and Zouia ? from species previously identified as Lecanicillium. Notably, certain Akanthomyces species associated with spiders and parasitic on Ophiocordyceps sinensis were reclassified into the new genera Arachnidicola and Kanoksria, respectively. Moreover, we introduce
four novel species in Akanthomyces sensu stricto found across a diverse range of moth families: Ak. buriramensis, Ak. fusiformis, Ak. niveus, and Ak. phariformis. Additionally, we provide descriptions and illustrations of the sexual morph linked to Ak. laosensis and Ak. pseudonoctuidarum,
along with a second type of synnemata seen in Ak. noctuidarum and Ak. pseudonoctuidarum. To assist with their identification, keys to the genera Akanthomyces, Arachnidicola, and Lecanicillium are provided, but should not be used to replace molecular identification.
Der Heilige Stuhl und der Krieg: Zwischen Kirchenlehre und diplomatischer Praxis
Authors: Rotte Ralph
Published: August 2024

Time and again in international conflicts, the Holy See, with its humanitarian priorities and political neutrality, finds itself caught between its pragmatic aim of saving as many human lives as possible on the one hand, and its claim of representing fundamental moral values and ideas of justice on the other. Moreover, diplomatic practice shows that the Pope and the World Church lack the material means and formal legitimacy for a permanent and consistent oversight of local catholic churches. As a consequence, local and regional churches may position themselves much more one-sided and clearly in violent conflicts than theological perspectives and papal attitudes might consider acceptable from a global point of view. Basically, the Holy See’s theoretical and practical relationship with international violent conflicts remains trapped in ambiguities and contradictions resulting from its unique position as a subject of international law sui generis, with a comprehensive religious and moral claim and a global church organization, in a complex, self-organizing international system.
