LAS CONSECUENCIAS DEL TIPO DE APEGO EN LA ADULTEZ EMERGENTE
Authors: Viqueira-Gutiérrez Laura
Published: December 2024

El tipo de apego adquirido en la infancia y adolescencia, influirá en las  relaciones futuras de los jóvenes adultos (Quijada, 2020). En el presente estudio se  llevó a cabo una revisión sistemática cuyo objetivo principal fue tratar de analizar las  consecuencias de los tipos de apego adquiridos durante la infancia y la adolescencia  en los adultos jóvenes. Para la búsqueda documental se seleccionó la base de datos  ProQuest. Concretamente se emplearon las bases Psychology Database, Dissertations  and Theses Global y Publicly Available Content Database. Como descriptores se  emplearon “Abstract (Types of attachment) AND abstract (Young Adult)”. Por lo que  respecta al criterio de inclusión, éste fue estudios cuantitativos que estudiaran los  posibles efectos que los tipos de apego adquiridos en la infancia y adolescencia podrían  tener en la adultez emergente. Los resultados indicaron que el tipo de apego seguro  desempeñaba un papel relevante en la promoción de las interacciones positivas entre  padres e hijos (Zhou, 2023). Sin embargo, el tipo de apego inseguro se relacionó con  la soledad a través de los esquemas desadaptativos tempranos (Jalilian et al. 2023),  con las autolesiones no suicidas (Grundmanis, 2022) y con el uso problemático del  Smartphone (Aranda et al. 2022). Además en un estudio español con 251 estudiantes  se halló que los universitarios y los estudiantes de Formación Profesional con apego  inseguro presentaban unas puntuaciones más bajas en su adaptación académica y  personal-emocional y los estudiantes universitarios con apego inseguro presentaban  unas puntaciones más bajas en adaptación social (Viqueira-Gutiérrez, 2024). Estos  resultados ponen de manifiesto la importancia que tiene el tipo de apego adquirido  durante la infancia y la adolescencia en la adultez emergente. Por tanto, sería  interesante que tanto los Centros educativos como las Universidades tratasen de  identificar a los estudiantes con apego inseguro para minimizar o evitar las  consecuencias negativas derivadas del mismo (Viqueira-Gutiérrez, 2024).

Objectives:

The objectives of the study are to compare and assess the precision of MKG angle with ANB, Wits’ appraisal, Yen, Pi, and W angles and reproducibility between them.

Material and Methods:

160 pre-treatment cephalograms of 80 skeletal class I and 80 skeletal class II patients were selected from the Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics and were divided into Group 1 and Group 2. MKG angle, ANB angle, Wits’ appraisal, W, Yen, and Pi angles were measured, and MKG angle was compared with each of them for the evaluation of its precision.

Results:

The statistical analysis was done using SPSS software version 26.0. The mean, standard deviation, t-test, and Pearson correlation coefficient were calculated. Descriptive statistics were done to know the mean and standard deviation. The Pearson correlation coefficient was done to know the correlation between the MKG angle and other parameters in both the groups. A statistically significant difference was observed between MKG angle and all other parameters – ANB, Wits’ appraisal, YEN, W, Pi angles in general population.

Conclusion:

MKG angle can be used to assess the anteroposterior discrepancy but as an adjunct with other parameters.
Libya Krizine Çözüm Yaklaşımı Olarak Yerele Dönüş: “Aşağıdan-Yukarıya” Bir Yaklaşım
Authors: Akşam İsmail
Published: December 2024

Libya, 2011 ve sonrasında şiddetli çatışmalar ve krizler girdabı içerisinde kalmıştır. Libya krizi, yerel ve ulusal güvenliğe sürekli bir şekilde tehdit oluşturduğu gibi, bölgesel ve uluslararası güvenlik için de ciddi bir tehdit oluşturmaktadır. Dolayısıyla Libya krizine çözüm, yerel, ulusal, bölgesel ve uluslararası barış için önem teşkil etmektedir. Bu bağlamda, ulusal, bölgesel ve uluslararası aktörlerin yanında yerel aktörlerin de çözüm sürecinde etkin olması, güvenliğin sağlanması ve kalıcı ve sürdürülebilir bir barış ortamı için önem arz etmektedir. Nitekim bir çözüm yaklaşımı olarak “yerele dönüş”, yerel aktörleri (aşiretler, STK’lar, mülteciler, kadınlar ve gençler vb.) barışçıl olarak değerlendirmekte ve çözüme katkısını arttırmayı hedeflemektedir. Libya krizine çözüm için “aşağıdan-yukarıya” bir yaklaşım olarak da ön plana çıkan yerel aktörlerin çözüme katkısını arttırmak, çağdaş çatışma çözümü çalışmalarının da odak noktasını oluşturmaktadır. Bu odak noktasından hareketle mevcut çalışma da, yerel aktörleri bu yaklaşım çerçevesinde analiz etmekte ve barış potansiyellerini ortaya koymaktadır. Nihayetinde yerel aktörler, devletin yetersiz kaldığı yerlerde ve/veya alanlarda, çözüm geliştirmek ve barışı inşa etmek gibi görevleri üstlenmiş ve bu yönleriyle de etkin aktörler olarak ön plana çıktıkları tespit edilmiştir.
Vécus et pratiques quotidiennes d’un collectif comme outils de lutte et de résistance pour l’auto-détermination et la reconnaissance. Récit de la Voix des Sans-Papiers (Bxl), mêlant les voix d’une « première concernée » et d’une « alliée »

Published: December 2024

Les mobilisations des personnes « sans-papiers », visant à l’obtention d’une régularisation de leur situation administrative, tiennent lieu aujourd’hui de figures de proue des luttes sociales contemporaines. Elles sont souvent rendues visibles à la population lors d’actions de nature performative et éphémère. Cependant, ce combat a également lieu à travers des engagements plus ténus s’inscrivant dans le quotidien de ces personnes et sur le long cours. En s’appuyant sur une ethnographie réalisée avec le collectif de la Voix des Sans-Papiers de Bruxelles, cet article propose d’analyser la pluralité des temporalités qui traverse ces mobilisations. L’idée est de comprendre comment des modes d’actions, qui se pensent dans une certaine immédiateté de résultat parce qu’elles parent à l’urgence du quotidien, peuvent s’écrire en parallèle et en interaction à d’autres modalités d’actions, dont autant la mise en œuvre que les effets nécessitent une inscription dans le temps long. Ces nouvelles formes de mobilisations, en engageant la production de savoirs en tant qu’outils de lutte, permettent finalement de penser un élargissement du répertoire d’actions collectives afin d’inscrire durablement un mode d’existence et de présence politique des personnes en exil. Cet article est une écriture à quatre mains, mêlant une « première concernée » et une « alliée », qui expérimente la possibilité de porter les voix du terrain, au-delà de la récolte de données, dans les espaces académiques. La volonté de relier un discours académique à un discours articulé directement à des luttes fait de ce papier un écrit engagé.

DOES ECONOMIC OPENNESS IMPACT ON THE ECONOMY IN KALIMANTAN?
Authors: Kurniawati Sri , Lestari Nindya
Published: December 2024

The high levels of foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic openness in East Kalimantan have yet to lead to the region catching up with other areas in Kalimantan. This discrepancy in growth patterns is believed to contribute to regional inequality within Kalimantan. This study aims to analyse FDI and economic openness. This study utilises panel data from provinces in Kalimantan from 2011 to 2020, employing the static panel method. The findings indicate that FDI has a negative effect on economic growth, primarily due to low levels of FDI compared to domestic investment in Kalimantan. Consequently, policies to improve human capital through education are necessary to facilitate technology transfer and ensure that FDI has a positive impact. Additionally, the results show that exports have a positive effect on economic growth, indicating that exports in Kalimantan contribute to economic growth. The contribution of this study lies in its conformity with the endogenous growth theory.JEL: O1, O11, O40, F10, F31.

Bevezetés: Számos klinikai megfigyelés igazolja a nem befolyásoló szerepét a fokozott nyomásterhelés megszüntetését követő kardiális reverz remodelláció folyamatában, azonban ezeket a vizsgálatokat különböző tényezők korlátozzák. Ezért célul tűztük ki, hogy standard laboratóriumi körülmények között vizsgáljuk meg a nemi különbségeket és hasonlóságokat egy releváns kisállatmodellben. Módszerek: Hím és nőstény patkányokban a bal kamra fokozott nyomásterhelését az abdominalis aorta műtéti beszűkítésével (abdominal aortic banding, AB) idéztük elő 6 és 12 hét időtartamra. Korban illesztett, áloperált állatok szolgáltak kontrollként. A 6. héten a szűkület eltávolításával (debanding) szüntettük meg a nyomásterhelést. A miokardiális remodelláció különböző aspektusait echokardiográfiával, nyomás-térfogat analízissel, hisztológiával, qRT-PCR-rel, valamint proteomikai vizsgálattal jellemeztük. Eredmények: Az AB-csoportokat mindkét nemben kifejezett szívizom-hipertrófia, emelkedett fötális génexpresszió és fokozott fibrózis jellemezte a 6. héten. A szerkezetbeli átépülés mellett, bár a szisztolés funkció megtartott volt, az aktív relaxáció jelentősen károsodott. Azonban a szisztolés funkció dekompenzációja és a diasztolés funkció további romlása csak a hím AB-állatoknál következett be a 12. héten. Az AB mindkét nem esetén hasonló proteomikai változásokhoz vezetett a 6. hétre, míg a 12. hétre jellegzetes nemi különbségek alakultak ki. A nyomásterhelés megszüntetése után, a szívizom-hipertrófia visszaalakulása és a diasztolés funkció normalizációja mindkét nemben hasonló mértékben ment végbe. Azonban a nőstényekben a fibrózis, a fötális génexpresszió és a proteomikai változások nagyobb mértékű visszaalakulást mutattak a hím állatokhoz képest. A nyomásterhelés megszüntetése a hímeknél funkcionális szinten okozott nagyobb antiremodellációs hatást, mivel a nyomásterhelés megszüntetése erőteljesen gátolta a progresszív funkcionális hanyatlást a hímeknél. Következtetések: A nyomásterhelés megszüntetése jelentős reverz remodellációhoz vezetett mindkét nemben. A nőstényekben a fibrózis, a fötális génexpresszió és a proteomikai változások nagyobb mértékű visszaalakulást mutattak. A hímeknél funkcionális szinten alakult ki nagyobb reverz remodellációs hatás.

Published: December 2024

Bevezetés: A csecsemőkori kötelező, egy csepp vérből történő, 26-féle örökletes anyagcsere-betegségre kiterjedő szűrés bevezetése óta számos ritka kórképet – köztük a phenylketonuriát (PKU) – ismerjük fel időben. Ennek eredményeként az érintett populáció egyre idősebb, és a magasabb túlélési ráta miatt a betegséggel járó rizikófaktorok, azok kardiovaszkuláris betegségekkel való összefüggése szélesebb körben vizsgálhatóak. Esetleírás: Esetünk a PKU kardiovaszkuláris manifesztációit illusztrálja felnőttkorban. Igazolt PKU miatt tartós szupplementációban részesülő, 55 éves férfi betegünknél kardiológiai kontrollvizsgálat alkalmával csökkent ejekciós frakciójú szívelégtelenséget (HFrEF) állapítottunk meg, az ezután végzett koronarográfia során ép koronária-rendszert írtak le. 2023-ban kardiális dekompenzáció miatt vettük fel az osztályunkra. Kardiovaszkuláris rizikófaktorként hipertóniát, emelkedett LDL-koleszterin-szintet, a férfi nemet, obesitast és PKU-t azonosítottunk. A HFrEF stratégiai gyógyszeres terápiájának bevezetése következett, az alkalmazott szekvenciális nefronblokád (furosemid, hidroklorotiazid, eplerenon) mellett kardiális státusza kompenzálódott, effort dyspnoéja, mellkasi diszkomfortja mérséklődtek. Szív-MR- (mágneses rezonanciás) vizsgálat során dilatatív cardiomyopathia képe igazolódott. Az optimális gyógyszeres terápia bevezetése, a maximális tolerálható dózisra emelése után 3 hónappal végzett kontrollechokardiográfia során az ejekciós frakció mértéke nem haladta meg a 35%-ot, így a beteg primer profilaktikus VVI-ICD-implantációban részesült. Kardiológiai kontrollvizsgálatai során a beteg ejekciós frakciója az első hospitalizáció idején mérthez képest emelkedett, panaszai mérséklődtek, ismételt kardiális dekompenzáció miatti hospitalizációra nem került sor. Következtetés: A PKU egy szerteágazó, több szervrendszert érintő szövődményekkel járó, ritka, öröklött aminosav anyagcsere-betegség. Számos kardiovaszkuláris rizikótényezővel összefüggésbe hozható (hyperlipidaemia, hipertónia, fokozott oxidatív stressz), a kardiovaszkuláris szövődményrátája magas. Emellett irodalmi adatok leírják cardiomyopa thiával társuló formáit is. Ezért ezen betegek szoros kardiológiai kontrollvizsgálata, ennek részeként echokardiográfiás utánkövetése elengedhetetlen a szövődmények időben történő felismerésében, azok későbbi mérséklésében.
Unraveling the Myths and Mysteries of Photon Avalanching Nanoparticles
Authors: Skripka Artiom , Chan Emory
Published: December 2024

Photon avalanching (PA) nanomaterials exhibit some of the most nonlinear optical phenomena reported for any material, allowing them to push the frontiers of applications ranging from super-resolution imaging and ultra-sensitive sensing to optical computing. But PA remains shrouded in mystery, with its underlying physics and limitations misunderstood. Photon avalanching is not, in fact, an avalanche of photons, at least not in the same way that snowballs beget more snowballing in an actual avalanche. In this focus article, we dispel these and other common myths surrounding PA in lanthanide-based nanoparticles and unravel the mysteries of this unique nonlinear optical effect. We hope that removing the misconceptions surrounding avalanching nanoparticles will inspire new interest and applications that harness the giant nonlinearity of PA across a broad range of scientific fields.
Altermagnetism: A Chemical Perspective
Authors: Fender Shannon , Gonzalez Oscar , Bediako Kwabena
Published: December 2024

Altermagnets have been recently introduced as a classification of collinear, spin compensated magnetic materials that host net-zero magnetization, yet display some electronic behaviors typically associated with non-compensated magnetic materials like ferromagnets. The emergence of such properties are a consequence of spin-split bands that arise under specific symmetry conditions in the limit of zero spin–orbit coupling. In this Perspective, we summarize the fundamental criteria for realizing an altermagnetic phase and present a qualitative electronic band structure derivation and symmetry analysis through chemical principles. We then discuss the properties that make altermagnets distinctive candidates for charge-to-spin conversion elements in spintronic devices, and provide a brief review of some altermagnetic candidate materials. Finally, we discuss future directions for altermagnetism and highlight opportunities for chemists to advance this emerging field.
Drug Binding Modulates Chiral Water Structures in the DNA First Hydration Shell

Published: December 2024

Knowledge of how intermolecular interactions change hydration structures surrounding DNA will heighten understanding of DNA biology and advance drug development. However, probing changes in DNA hydration structures in response to molecular interactions and drug binding in situ under ambient conditions has remained challenging. Here, we apply a combined experimental and computational approach of chiral-selective vibrational sum frequency generation spectroscopy (chiral SFG) to probe changes of DNA hydration structures when a small-molecule drug, netropsin, binds the minor groove of DNA. Our results show that chiral SFG can detect water being displaced from the minor groove of DNA due to netropsin binding. Additionally, we observe that chiral SFG distinguishes between weakly and strongly hydrogen-bonded water hydrating DNA. Chiral SFG spectra show that netropsin binding, instead of displacing weakly hydrogen-bonded water, preferentially displaces water molecules strongly hydrogen-bonded to thymine carbonyl groups in the DNA minor groove, revealing the roles of water in modulating site-specificity of netropsin binding to duplex DNA rich in adenine-thymine sequences. The results convey the promise of chiral SFG to offer mechanistic insights into roles of water in drug development targeting DNA.
Diastereo- and Enantioselective Allylation of α-Hydroxy Ketones Enabled by Palladium/Borinic acid Dual Catalysis
Authors: Wu Fan , Huang Kai , Cen Zhihe , Yan Changwen , Kan Yuhe , Wu Xiaoyu
Published: December 2024

Asymmetric allylation reaction between unsymmetrical allyl carbonates and α-hydroxy ketones synergistically catalyzed by a palladium/borinic acid catalytic platform has been developed. The reaction proceeds through nucleophilic activation of α-hydroxy ketone by an achiral borinic acid to form a tetracoordinated enediol boronate complex and its subsequent interception of electrophilic π-allyl palladium complex generated from a chiral Pd catalyst and an allyl component. A broad scope of substrates was suitable in this reaction, providing a series of allyl-substituted α-hydroxy ketones bearing vicinal stereocenters with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) and diastereoselectivities (up to 24:1 dr). The methodology also achieved effective kinetic resolution of 1,3-disubstituted allylic carbonates, with the unreacted substrates being recovered with high ee values. A plausible mechanism and model for chiral induction in this reaction are proposed. The utility of this method was demonstrated by a gram scale reaction and subsequent elaboration of the allylation products.

Published: December 2024

In Javanese terms, Jathilan stands for "Jarane jan thil-thilan" which means "The horse moves irregularly". People in the city of Yogyakarta know jathilan as part of a certain ritual procession that uses the properties of an artificial horse or commonly called jaran kepang. Jathilan traditional art itself cannot be separated from rituals and sesaji used as a form of expression of prayer and hope.

Published: December 2024

A systematic literature review was conducted to examine all recent academic, peer-reviewed studies of menstrual hygiene management (MHM) across adolescent girls in Anglophone West Africa. The objective was to assess the status of the scholarship surrounding the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of MHM across English-speaking West African countries and identify gaps in the literature for further research. The authors searched the epidemiological literatures indexed in PubMed and cross-referenced bibliographies for studies published between 2010-2022. Of 59 abstracts and articles screened, 35 met the final inclusion criteria. Despite differences in study design, setting, and data sources, the study results concurred on an average age of menarche between 12-15 years old among adolescent girls. The knowledge of MHM came from multiple sources, most commonly mothers, female siblings, and teachers and higher knowledge was associated with age, source, wealth, religion, and education level. Less than half of the adolescent girls knew about menstruation before menarche. Many studies showed that girls were shocked by their first period and fearful of staining. Menstruation was associated with dysmenorrhea, fear/embarrassment, and missing school. The existing studies suggest that more implementation and evaluation of menstrual hygiene management materials, education, and facilities are needed to address the educational, physical, and social disparities that exist among girls in West African countries

Authors: Hsu Pi-Feng , Lu Yu-Ying
Published: December 2024

This study investigated the sleep quality and its psychological correlates among hospitalized antepartum women. A cross-sectional correlation study design and convenience sampling were conducted in the gynecological ward of a medical center in northern Taiwan. A total of 101 hospitalized antepartum women were recruited. A self-administered structured questionnaire including demographic profiles, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Antepartum Hospital Stressors Inventory (AHSI), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used for the study. Bivariate and multiple linear regressions were used to analyze the data. A majority of the participants had poor sleep quality (82.8%), based on the global PSQI score. Sleep quality correlated with age, marital and employment status, parity, method of conception, multiple gestation, history of pregnant complications, anxiety symptom and hospital stressors which explained 21% of the variance in sleep quality. This study found a high prevalence of poor sleep quality in hospitalized antepartum women. Anxiety symptom was a significant predictor of sleep quality. Healthcare providers should be encouraged to assess sleep and emotional status in antepartum women during hospitalization and provide them appropriate interventions to improve sleep and reduce anxiety symptoms and hospital stressors

Published: December 2024

Young adults in tertiary institutions engage in different sexual behaviours including penetrative and non-penetrative sex. This study explored young adults’ perceptions, interpretations and implications for engaging in non-penile-vaginal sex (NPVS) in tertiary institutions of Plateau state, in the north-central Zone. An exploratory qualitative research approach was adopted. Eight (8) focus group discussions (FGDs) of singles and married males and females were conducted with seventy-nine (n=79) participants aged 18 – 30 years). Audio files were transcribed, coded, and managed using NVivo 12 software. Thematic analysis was applied to present themes and a description of key findings. Four (4) themes emerged. All groups acknowledged sexual satisfaction and improved intimacy as benefits of NPVS. The sexual orientation of people who partake in NPVS are often misinterpreted. Young adults involved in NPVS face rejection and stigmatization. Lastly, the sexual orientation misinterpretation, rejection and stigma of those who engage in NPVS is likely to be a result of the general believe that Nigeria is conservative in sociocultural values and expression.

Authors: Dulger Ozlem , Dinmez Sinem , Torun Sebahat D. , Osmanoglu Usame O.
Published: December 2024

This study aims to compare the sexual functions of couples undergoing assisted reproductive techniques (ART) with those conceiving spontaneously during pregnancy. A total of 102 couples participated in this cross-sectional study, with 68 couples in the spontaneous conception group and 34 couples in the ART group. Data collection was conducted face-to-face in the antenatal clinic using separate “Descriptive Information Form” for women and men, “Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI)” for women, and “Libido Scoring System (LSS)” for men. Descriptive statistical methods, Chi-square and Fisher exact tests, t-test, and Pearson correlation test were used for data analysis. It was observed that the mean FSFI total scores of women who conceived spontaneously and through ART during pregnancy were at a good level (≥30), while the mean LSS scores of their partners were at a moderate level (5-7). No statistically significant distinction existed among the groups. Further research is advisable by adjusting the sample selection criteria, such as gravida, duration of ART treatment, and gestational age.
A TOXIC LEGACY OF ENDOSULPHAN: TRACING TRAUMA IN THE NOVEL SWARGA BY AMBIKASUTHAN MANGAD
Authors: Nair Reena
Published: December 2024

Ever since the existence of human beings, various forms of atrocities like wars, terrorist activities, communal skirmishes, natural calamities, sexual offences, etc. have been occurring paying the price for mental and physical beings. The scars caused by violence have a resonating impact on humans leaving a profound psychological imprint in the human mind causing trauma. Trauma has emerged as a keyword to approach violence and its aftermath thus gaining impetus in the critical and literary realm. It is quite appalling to note that human beings themselves pose a great peril to the sustenance of their fellow beings. In a world driven by materialistic concerns, the humane aspect is deplorably nonexistent from all walks of life. Globalisation has alarmingly set its pace exploiting all resources on our earth making it an uninhabitable place. In a scenario, where the capitalists are enthralled with the absolute mantra of reaping maximum profit from minimal effort, the perpetrators of disequilibrium are numerous. Many hazards are bound to occur as a result of the connivance of the state officials with international organisations causing umpteen problems to fester leading to gruesome traumatic experiences among the ordinary folk. The trauma caused by endosulfan, a lethal pesticide, is one such catastrophic disaster that affected a major population in Kasargode in Kerala. Though the initial phase of spraying endosulfan seemed innocuous to the naive populace, it had a gruesome impact on those hapless people. This incident had its repercussions globally leading to the complete banning of endosulfan. The literary realm could not unlink itself from the dismal happenings affecting the innocent society and many activists from the literary domain including Sugathakumari, Leelakumariamma, Ambikasuthan Mangad, etc. had taken a keen interest in erasing the panic among the victims and restoring resilience among them. The express purpose of the present paper is to delve deeper into the myriad ways in which endosulfan victims are yet traumatised both physically and mentally by undertaking a critical expedition through trauma theories. The gruelling event though was not assimilated at the time of its occurrence has great relevance in the current context as it demands sensible reactions and interventions from the academic circle rendering meaning to human lives.

Authors: Neharika  , Yadav Sanjay Kumar , Kadakia Babita
Published: December 2024

This study examines how banks may support innovation and entrepreneurship, with special focus on the problem of access to loans by entrepreneurs and the criteria used by banks. The research approach adopted was descriptive with the use of purposive sampling that ensured relevant participation. In all, 180 entrepreneurs in the Mysore region were included in the sample. Standardized questionnaires and in-person interviews were used to collect information on services provided by banks, loan approval procedures, the problems owners face, and requirements for lending. While there are positive outcomes among business owners who are able to acquire loans, interest rates, poor credit history, and collateral requirements are some of the problems that are common nowadays. Furthermore, it does nothing for banks to make market access easy and promote innovation funding. The research also identifies lending decision factors with loan terms, financial capability, and collateral as some of the key variables. In light of the findings the research recommends improved flexibility of loan terms, greater entrepreneurial development support, and enhanced financial literacy in creating an atmosphere that is more conducive to innovation and expansion.

Published: December 2024

Akkamma Devi was born on 5 September 1918 in a small village tucked away in the hills of Nilgiris. She was educated at different schools in Coonoor, Tamil Nadu and she went on to do her BA in Economics at St Theresa's College, Ernakulum. Here she took an active part in the Quit India movement of 1942 with her close friends and classmates and she was arrested and detained. Her humble beginnings notwithstanding, she won the 1962 General Election with a thumping majority and became the first lady Member of Parliament from the Badaga community and the Nilgiri Constituency. She was the first woman to graduate from the Badaga community of the Nilgiris. She was a prominent social worker from the Nilgiris who provided outstanding services to rural womenfolk of the Nilgiris. She was a champion of women's cause. She was sure women could achieve laurels in any field and compete with men if given the correct guidance and education. She was able to mobilise the women in remote areas. Surely, she was worthy to be called the 'Daughter of the Nilgiri Mountains'.

Published: December 2024

In this study, we aimed to propose a framework for analyzing how teachers engage in task modification considering mathematical creativity, focusing on the dynamics between divergent and convergent thinking. We also examined a case involving an experienced teacher who participated in a research community over a three-year period. By reviewing prior research, we developed a framework that links teachers' task modification processes to continuity at the macro level, complementarity at the micro level, and interaction types. Using this framework, we analyzed the task modification process of the experienced teacher in her first and third year of the research community. This comparison revealed significant shifts in how the teacher approached task modification, highlighting the dynamics between divergent and convergent thinking.
