A Study on the Prospect of the Cloud Kitchen Model in Dhaka
Authors: Ahmed Khan Tanveer , Arman Khan Samin , Haque Shadatul , Ayub Md. Fahad Been
Published: November 2022

This study looks at the prospect of the Cloud Kitchen Model (CKM) in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Cloud kitchen is a centralized commercial food production facility with no dine-in facility. The study first identified the existing perceptions and expectations of the critical stakeholders for whom the CKM can potentially bring competitive advantages over traditional brick-and-mortar-based models. The target audiences for this study are consumers of online food delivery systems, traditional restaurant owners, potential CKM restaurant owners, and industry experts. To perform this mix-method based study, the researchers conducted surveys along with Focused Group Discussions and In-depth Interviews targeted to various stakeholders such as consumers, restaurant owners, and industry experts besides utilizing secondary data sources. Most respondents know about cloud kitchens, and primarily most of them heard from social media, but mere knowledge of the CKM does not influence their ordered food preference. The only time consumers showed a greater preference for CKM over traditional brick-and-mortar models is when the comparison comes mostly in terms of price, quality, and packaging. As per the results of this study, for the restaurant ecosystem of Dhaka, CKM offers a narrow sales prospect for the next three years even though it offers Value Added Tax (VAT) benefits in general. Existing restaurant owners perceived immediate additional capital requirements, other than their available capital in hand for running their existing restaurants at the moment, as a barrier towards entering the cloud kitchen business and thus stopping the adoption of CKM in the next three years even though they are interested to initiate CKM. It is recommended that those who want to start a CKM business should proceed with a robust business model and can look for angel investors or venture capitalists to secure funds and add experts to the business while prioritizing their marketing activities. CKM-based restaurants should utilize social media platforms to build a positive brand image. Finally, CKM-based restaurants should focus on consumer needs through customized platforms (e.g., their own delivery media and websites) and emphasize employee retention through proper employee training and benefits.

Troubled Images: Analysing the Republican Use of Visual Metaphors in Wall Paintings and Pictures in Northern Ireland
Authors: Piga Antonio
Published: November 2022

The republican movement in Northern Ireland was visually manifested in images drawn on walls and on the gable ends of houses in the towns of Belfast and (London) Derry. As well as being an iconographic expression of the social injustice they suffered (Rapp & Rhomberg, 2013; Goalwin, 2013), these wall paintings were employed by the republicans to convey political and ideological messages in order to heighten awareness and to mobilize people. Blank spaces on walls were increasingly exploited by republican groups and were converted into a visual medium sui generis for their political and ideological claims and demands. Over the years republicans developed this novel communication strategy geared to expressing highly emotional content that served to reflect and influence the sentiments of the communities involved in the conflict. It also served to channel collective memory, recording key events and contributing to the formation of an identity. Intense political disagreements and armed conflict between the Catholic and Protestant communities from 1968 to 1998 led to violent clashes during the period known as “the Troubles”. This complicated time frame has been metaphorically represented in various ways in wall paintings and posters in Northern Ireland. The aim of this paper is to analyze the political and ideological use of visual metaphors in the images of the republican movement during the “Troubles”. More specifically, by applying the most recent methodological tool derived from a socio-cognitive model of discourse analysis, namely Conceptual Metaphor Theory (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980), the purpose is to analyse, both from a qualitative and quantitative point of view, the three different types of Conceptual Metaphorical Schemas: Propositional, Image and Event Schema (Soares da Silva, 2016).

Ontwikkelingssamenwerking 2.0

Development Cooperation 2.0: Looking Forward by Looking back

Does it make sense to maintain development cooperation as a recognizable policy area when public support, like the aid budget have declined and the most recent policy memorandum ‘Doing what the Netherlands is good at’ more openly than ever promotes the now equally dwindling aid budget as an instrument to promote well-understood self-interest? Yes, it does. But that does not imply that this article advocates a return to a bygone era when development experts professed the gospel of poverty alleviation by trying to keep the merchant and the diplomat out of the door. On the contrary, this article wishes to emphasize that isolating development cooperation from political and economic interests does not make sense because is not possible and therefore has never been successful. Anyone who dares to face this, will also more easily come to the conclusion that, under certain conditions, the fight against poverty can indeed go hand in hand with the promotion of other goals and interests.

Ambivalances in Dutch development cooperation

Most discussions about international development cooperation focus on objectives and results, while hardly any attention is paid to the organization and implementation of policies. However, the actual possibilities to achieve strategic goals are largely determined by the institutional organization. This article analyses how the tension between policy priorities and intervention options leads to dilemmas in the field of governance and management of international cooperation programs and identifies some possibilities for a more coherent and effective Dutch development policy.

Role of Ramayana in Transformation of the Personal and Professional Life of Indians: An Empirical Investigation Based on Age and Regions
Authors: Pallathadka Harikumar , Pallathadka Laxmi Kirana , Pushparaj  , Devi Telem Kamlabati
Published: November 2022

Ramayana is one of the greatest and holiest Sanskrit epics and one of the first written pieces of literature in the context of India. In the past few centuries, several authors have been exploring different dimensions of the epic Ramayana, which range from spirituality, philosophy, economics, politics, language, culture, poetry, literature, and technology. However, management does not seem to be popular in terms of subject analysis from Ramayana, even though Valmik Ramayana offers examples of several managers. Thus, several studies have been done to fill the gap in the literature by simply exploring the relevance of Ramayana for the growth and development of contemporary managers. These papers explore dharmic management, work motivation, vigilance, principles for control from Ramayana that offers lessons for improving managerial efficiency. The prospects to explore Ramayana in the other management domains like people management, and strategy management, may also be considered in the future.
Racism and Health: Evidence and Needed Research
Authors: Pallathadka Laxmi Kirana , Pallathadka Harikumar
Published: November 2022

Recent years have seen a surge in scientific research examining the several ways in which racism may have a detrimental effect on health. This emphasis has been highlighted by the remarkable willpower of racial inequities in health, and observable data also suggests that social factors by themselves do not adequately explain racial oppressions in health and well-being. Racism is believed to be a primary cause of ill health outcomes for racial minorities and racial inequities in health. Racial bias towards black people, citizens, and people of color persist in the health care system. This results in significant harm to those who utilize and work in these environments. This research study provided an overview of institutional racism, cultural racism, individual-level prejudice, and its associated mental and physical health repercussions. We describe significant search is for and define significant problems for future investigation for each instrument. Additionally, we review the evidence for anti-racism interventions and highlight the research required to achieve more informed competency in a particular area.
Human Rights and Religious Education: A Study with Special Reference to Islam
Authors: Kumar Sanjeev , Harikumar
Published: November 2022

A new set of global principles and ambitions emerged from modern human rights. Human rights are essential to any modern discussion on global ethics and justice. Critics charge human rights discourse as being ethnocentric in its focus on minorities. Human rights are intertwined with rights philosophy, which is tied to natural law in Islamic legal theory. For example, the right to life stems from the creation of mankind by God. This article discusses natural law, human beings, best interests, and religious instruction in Islamic legal philosophy. In doing so, I want to build a comprehensive Islamic viewpoint on human rights and a practical component of the issue of human rights in the Islamic world. The major purpose of the research is to investigate the creation of a contemporary human rights framework in the twentieth century. This study's research technique includes doctrinal and analytical research. The data will be acquired from numerous publications and reports by authorities. The researchers used secondary sources as well. Articles, books, journals, newspapers, and websites are examples. It is essential to recognize that different cultures may need to develop their own human rights arguments. It is also important to note religion's global effect. Ensuring universal human rights is not simple, as Islam has shown. No significant impact can be achieved by governmental or intellectual debates on human rights. I believe that most people, regardless of culture or religion, would embrace the notion if adequately educated. People's governments may have to work more to upgrade their legal systems and ensure people's rights.
Efficacy of Non-Soy Isoflavone (Pueraria phaseoloides) on The Symptoms Severity Scoring by Kupperman Index in Menopausal Women
Authors: Tangkas Made , Ngartjono Widjajanto , Hidayat Achmad , Farida Leny Silviana
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Menopause is defined by a decline in estrogen levels, which causes various symptoms. Treatments based on foods or supplements enriched in phytoestrogens, notably isoflavones, plant-derived compounds with estrogenic effects, have recently become quite popular. This study aims to see how effective non-soy isoflavone supplementation is for menopausal symptoms in women.
Methods: 26 menopausal women were given 67.5 mg of non-soy isoflavone, and 25 menopausal women were given a placebo daily for 12 weeks in an analytical double-blind, randomized clinical trial (RCT). Inclusion criteria were (1) RCT, (2) perimenopausal or postmenopausal women experiencing menopausal symptoms, (3) intervention with an oral non-soy isoflavone. Symptoms Severity Score (SSS) based on the Kupperman index (KI) questionnaire was administered to the patients before starting and at the end of the study. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software was used to analyze the responses.
Results: The difference in SSS scores between the treatment and control groups was significant (p = 0.000). Women receiving 67.5 mg of non-soy isoflavone daily, reduced myalgia, fatigue, and hot flushes by 92.3%, 77%, and 53.8%, respectively. For clinical significance rating, relative risk reduction (RRR) is used. A significant RRR value resulted from myalgia symptoms (76.6%), fatigue (55.7%), hot flushes (39.2%), and SSS (68.7%).
Conclusion: Isoflavones did not bring a significant change in Kupperman Index compared to placebo but provided significantly improved Symptoms Severity Scoring in menopausal women.

Functions and Frequency of Using Code-switching in the Georgian Educational Discourse
Authors: Buskivadze Khatuna
Published: November 2022

Within the context of teaching English as a foreign language, code-switching – alternating between two or more languages, in the context of a single conversation or situation – is a common practice. This article is the first to investigate the frequency and functions of code-switching by lecturers of general English language courses across two main universities in Tbilisi, Georgia. Building on existing literature [Myers-Scotton, 1993; Ferguson, 2003, etc.], this quantitative study uses survey responses from 92 lecturers and 220 students enrolled in general English courses at the university level in Georgia. The objective is to reveal (1) the frequency of code-switching used by the EFL (English as a foreign language) course lecturers in the higher education discourse; (2) the functions of using code-switching in the EFL course; (3) and the EFL course lecturers' and students’ attitudes towards lecturers’ code-switching behavior. Based on the results of the study, code-switching in the classroom can serve several functions such as communicative and intercultural difference. Moreover, students were found to hold far more positive attitudes towards their lecturers switching from English into Georgian during class than the lecturers themselves. Thus, it shows that lecturers believe in a conventional view (using only one language) of teaching a language. Surprisingly, although lecturers have a negative attitude towards using Georgian, 50-60% of participants use Georgian.

Georgian Cuisine – “Invented Tradition”
Authors: Kunchulia Esma
Published: November 2022

The goal of Esma Kunchulia’s work – “Georgian Cuisine – Invented Tradition” is to understand the essence of national cuisine and discuss it according to cultural studies, memory studies and modernist theories of nationalism. This work is the first attempt to analyze the national cuisine in the framework of different theories. According to the author of the article, national cuisine, as one of the symbols of the nation and a marker of national identity was created in the era of the formation of nations and became a part of the “great narrative” of the nation. The author considers the collection of dishes as an “invented tradition” by the “imagined community” and suggests that the “national cuisine” with the form and emotion it has today did not exist before the “formation” of nations. The research shows that, for a modern person, national cuisine is a constituent part of the nation’s identification system, the symbols and the codes. Being a national symbol, the national cuisine carries an emotional load characteristic of the national culture for a member of the nation and treating it “wrongly” is as “dangerous” as mistreating other symbols. Esma Kunchulia's work will be interesting for researchers of collective identity and cultural memory of the nation.

Therapeutic Use of Glucagon: The Future of Diabetes Mellitus Therapy
Authors: Honzawa Norikiyo , Fujimoto Kei
Published: November 2022

The etiology of type 2 diabetes has long been centered on insulin. Recently, however, glucagon has been attracting attention. It has been reported that glucagon receptor or pancreatic α cell-deficient mice do not deteriorate glucose intolerance after pancreatic beta cells are destroyed with streptozotocin and insulin secretion is depleted. This suggests that glucagon and glucagon receptors are crucial for glucose intolerance in diabetes mellitus, and the elucidation of glucagon signaling is still awaited. This review will begin with an overview of the history of glucagon. In the nearly 100 years since the discovery of glucagon, it has become clear that glucagon plays a role in blood glucose in type 2 diabetes as much or more than insulin. This is due in large part to the advent of the sandwich Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) method, which allows accurate measurement of glucagon by using N- and C-terminal antibodies. Next, the mechanism of action of glucagon on blood glucose levels will be outlined. Glucagon increases blood glucose levels by enhancing gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. Glucagon also enhances lipolysis, which indirectly contributes to weight loss and improved blood glucose levels. Recently, mice with defective or decreased glucagon secretion have been developed, and the effects of glucagon are becoming clearer in vivo. Mice with elevated glucagon secretion have also appeared, and their glucose tolerance improvement through lipolysis and weight loss is also attracting attention. Research on glucagon is not limited to animal experiments but has already reached the stage of clinical application. Drugs that suppress glucagon have side effects such as liver damage, but they are effective in improving blood glucose. Drugs that increase glucagon also have hypoglycemic effects resulting from weight loss. Thus, glucagon has undergone a dizzying evolution over the past decade. The day may soon come when drugs that target glucagon will dominate diabetes treatment.
Hospital or Home? Pre-labour Rupture of Membranes
Authors: Lodola Sarah
Published: November 2022

The management of pre-labour rupture of membranes at term remains a debated issue and there is a wide variation in practice, with no clear agreement on what comprises the optimal management of spontaneous rupture of membranes (SROM) at term. I conducted a systematic review to examine the effectiveness of going home versus staying in hospital for women at term who present with pre-labour rupture of membranes on maternal, neonatal, labour and birth outcomes. The results of this review needed to be interpreted with caution as the included studies were of weak methodological rating. Following on from this, an audit was conducted looking at the outcomes of women with low-risk pregnancies who went home after membrane rupture versus those that stayed in hospital. The results were then presented to the labour ward leads, support was obtained and a guideline was developed. This change in practice was audited in the first six months and again in the second six months and there were no adverse outcomes. This guideline has been implemented since December 2016, and women with pre-labour rupture of membranes at term now have the choice to stay in hospital or go home for a specified time period.

Public health messages encourage new mothers to breastfeed, but breastfeeding rates in many Western regions remain low. Given high maternal intentions to breastfeed, and the significant distress they can experience if they are unable to meet their goals, why are so many women struggling to do so? This 18th series of Midwifery basics will explore the multiple complex barriers that affect infant feeding decisions, examining how, whilst most women should be able to breastfeed from a physiological perspective (evidenced by high rates in other regions of the world), complex psychological, social and cultural barriers damage breastfeeding intentions and ability in many Western regions. It will explore these barriers and their pathways to having an impact, and consider public health solutions to making a difference for future generations. This first article in the new series introduces the issue, overviews breast milk production, and starts to unpick the complexity of influences on infant feeding decisions and ability.

Authors: Wilson Caitlin
Published: November 2022

The use of water for labour and birth has increased in popularity over the past decades. Pioneered in modern maternity settings, by Michele Odent (1983), water has now become a mainstream choice for women and for midwives supporting them in labour and birth in the UK and elsewhere.
Mentorship; The Struggling Student Midwife and the Importance of Continuity of Mentor
Authors: Tant Michelle
Published: November 2022

The concerns experienced by midwives supporting struggling student midwives are varied and can range from a lack of preparation for the mentorship role to a fear of having to fail a student. Furthermore student midwives can slip through the net and may even qualify without the necessary clinical or professional standards being met. This article explores how continuity, a central concept of midwifery care, is also the key to successful mentorship.
Beneath the Surface: Breaking Cycles of Hidden Trauma
Authors: McLellan Mhairi
Published: November 2022

After recently writing a blog on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), the associated negative health outcomes and implications for maternity services, I wanted to develop a deeper understanding and share what I had learned. A detailed explanation of the physiology and discussion of all the theories around why ACEs have been linked to poorer health outcomes is beyond the scope of this article, but some of the more salient concepts have been included. This article reflects an attempt to explore how midwives and maternity services can work in a way that is generally trauma-informed, to protect those who have been exposed to any form of trauma, and ultimately to avoid further ACE exposure.
Is caseloading Sustainable? 25-year History of Caseloading at King’s College Hospital
Authors: Wiseman Octavia , Holland Sadie
Published: November 2022

Caseload midwifery is defined as follows: When a midwife carries a caseload she is the primary provider of midwifery care (the named midwife) during pregnancy, birth and the early postnatal days for an agreed number of women. She may be providing care to women wherever they are: at home, in the community or in a maternity unit. She has responsibility for the planning and monitoring of care throughout for the women on her list. She liaises with medical colleagues and social agencies as appropriate (National Childbirth Trust 1995). Caseloading is a relational model of care provided by a small team of midwives who do on-calls in order to provide a 24/7 service. Midwives have autonomy over their workload, allowing them to respond to the individual needs of women and their families. Mixed-risk caseloading has been an important element of maternity care at King’s College Hospital for 25 years, where currently almost 20 per cent of the 5-6,000 women who give birth there each year receive caseloading care.
‘You Are Only in Early Labour, You Are Not in Active Labour Yet’: Midwives’ Language and Behaviour and the Meaning Women Make of it
Authors: Walsh Denis , Spiby Helen , Borrelli Sara E
Published: November 2022

Effective communication, respectful language and compassionate behaviour are vital elements within maternity care for midwives to develop trusting relationships with childbearing women and their families. This paper reports examples of midwives’ negative language and behaviour during childbirth, that were perceived as uncaring by first-time mothers. Findings are presented as four themes, detailed in the article to follow. Midwives’ negative language, lack of presence, inflexible and non-individualised behaviour may result in women feeling humiliated, ignored and dissatisfied with their birth experience. Midwives should continue to communicate with labouring women and their families, using positive language as an important component of individualised and respectful care.
So Far Yet So Similar: Reflections from a Florence Nightingale Travel Scholarship
Authors: Lewis Marie
Published: November 2022

I am the consultant midwife for Powys Teaching Health Board and have been qualified for 22 years. During my career, I have developed my passion for woman-centred care, autonomy, choice and trust. In 2015 I completed a PhD exploring the concept of trust within the midwife-mother relationship. In the study I highlighted the importance of partnership working and models currently practised that can support the development of meaningful relationships. The commitment to continuity and empowerment of women through the New Zealand model of care featured as an example of good practice. Following completion, I began to formulate ideas for further study and a passion for clinical quality improvement to help implement my research findings. This is not without some challenges and, to assist in my thinking, I applied in 2017 for a Florence Nightingale Foundation travel scholarship. In this article I aim to share my reflections of completing the scholarship and encourage others to apply for similar opportunities for learning.

FRAGMENTO

En agosto de 2022 falleció en Bogotá el académico Bernardo Tirado Plata, a la edad de 94 años. Su esposa, la distinguida psicoanalista Herminia de Tirado, lo antecedió en la entrada hacia la eternidad.

Conocí al Profesor Tirado Plata en una visita profesional que le hizo a la abuela de mi esposa, quien padecía una enfermedad venosa. Corría el año de 1963, y él se encontraba en el punto más alto de su prestigio profesional y exitoso ejercicio médico. Me lo volví a encontrar en los años ochenta, cuando ambos habíamos ingresado a la Academia Nacional de Medicina, donde presentó una vista general de las enfermedades vasculares, ilustrada con nutridos casos de su experiencia quirúrgica. Rápidamente entablamos una amistad cuyo centro fue siempre la Academia.
