History, Memory and Legend: Contextualizing Joymoti Utsav in Assam
Authors:   Assistant Professor in Linguistics, Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Information Technology Guwahati, Bongora, Guwahati, Assam, India., Barua Suranjana
Published: November 2021

This paper traces the inception, emergence and relevance of the celebration of a historical figure of Assam – Joymoti – as the Joymoti Utsav (Joymoti Festival). With the first attested public celebration of the festival in Upper Assam in 1914, Joymoti Utsav was a landmark public celebration on multiple counts. Firstly, it created a feminist and nationalist consciousness in the region through its celebration of Joymoti – an Ahom princess; secondly, it marked public support to celebration of an ideal female figure whose qualities and character women were encouraged to aspire to; thirdly, it followed and also spearheaded a socio-cultural movement that found expression in literature and arts including the first Assamese movie Joymoti in 1934; fourthly, it brought together people and organizations in the making of a legacy that gave direction to the feminist movement in Assam thereby establishing it as a major socio-cultural feminist festival of Assam. This paper traces the emergence of this iconic festival in Upper Assam, its role in establishing feminist ideals, carving out a distinct regional history and nurturing national sentiment, its depiction in various literary genres of the 20th century and the current relevance of the festival in Assam. In doing so, the paper locates Joymoti Utsav in a socio-historical perspective in the context of Assam while crediting it with creating a feminist consciousness in the public discourse of early twentieth century Assam.
Inscribing the Migratory History of Tea Plantation Labours of Assam: A Journey from Ignorance to Experience
Authors:   Deptt. of History, Rangapara College, Rangapara, Sonitpur, Assam, Barman Pradip
Published: November 2021

The tea garden labours of Assam have an absorbing history of their own. They were imported to Assam from various parts of Bengal, United Province, Central Province, Madras, etc. At the time when they were facing economic hardships in their day-to-day life, the agents of the tea planters of Assam visited those areas and tempted them with plenty of facilities and economic incentives. Believing the false promises of these dishonest agents, these innocent people decided to follow them to get relief from economic deprivation and reached Assam. Thus, the process of importation of labour into Assam started and gradually their number was increasing year by year. But as soon as they left their native place, they met with adversity and it was increasing day by day. On their way to Assam also, many of them died of various diseases and eventually when they arrived in Assam, they were subjected to inhumane conditions. No one was known to them and unhealthy food and unhygienic habitation added further misery. On many occasions, they were even physically assaulted which increased their mental instability. Despite this, they gradually adopted themselves in Assam and started to treat Assam as their land. Now, the tea garden labour community of Assam is a part and parcel of Assamese society and in politics also they have been performing a major role.
Carnivalesque, Liminality and Social Drama: Characterising the Anti-Structural Potential of Theyyam
Authors:   Doctoral Research Scholar, Department of English, Lovely Professional University, Punjab, India, Mathew Raisun , Pandya Digvijay
Published: November 2021

The cultural and ritual performance of Theyyam in Northern Kerala, considered as a reflection of the war cry against the caste system and oppression, conducts subversion of the social hierarchy. The chosen deity by the performer for a transitory symbolisation expresses the collective outrage of the oppressed and exploited people. This research paper enquires about the anti-structural characteristics exhibited by the performance of Theyyam. In the context of Richard Schechner’s performance theory, it attempts to trace the characterisation of Mikhail Bakhtin’s carnivalesque, Victor Turner’s liminality and social drama in the transitional performance of Theyyam that mostly relies on interim separation and reintegration. The expression of antipathy to the hierarchy in Bakhtinian carnival, the anti-structural emphasis in Turnarian liminality, and the deconstructive-reconstructive stages in social drama elucidate the symbolic delineation of the performance of Theyyam. The analytical findings of the paper derived from the discussion of the three concepts reveal that the performance of Theyyam is rooted in its anti-structural characteristics. The performer is subject to continuous alteration in the identity that intermediates the idiosyncrasy between the deity and the human being. It symbolises the temporal transition from the oppressed to the equivalent status of the dominator that occurs as part of counter-culture, through status reversal and inversion.
Resistances to Autobiography: The Indian Experiment with life-writing
Authors:   Assistant Professor, Department of English, Cotton University, Guwahati, Assam & Former Fellow at Indian Institute of Advanced Study, Shimla., Sadhu Sanghamitra
Published: November 2021

The article underlines that the epistemology of the self and the practice of life-writing in India marks a departure from the Western conventions and modes of expression. Although there are resistances to autobiography from the Western theoretical standpoint, the genre meets with a twofold resistance in postcolonial milieu in its negotiation with the Indian metaphysics of self. Autobiography in decolonising India negotiates complex pathways between an ardent adherence to Indian epistemology and a potent resistance to the Western modes of writing the self. In a framework to understand the phenomenon of resistance implicit in autobiography in general and the internal resistances to autobiography manifest in the genre during decolonisation in particular, the article argues that such resistances within the genre have redefined the very idea of the self in writing, generated a nuanced notion of the self in narration, as well as challenged the process of writing the self in decolonisation.
By Me Shall He Be Nursed! Queer Identity and Representation in The Mahabharata
Authors:   BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus, Rajasthan., Sinha Seema , Bhattacharya Kumar Sankar ,   Associate Professor in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus, Rajasthan.
Published: November 2021

The Mahabharata is a treasure-trove of the cultural memories of the Hindus. The grand Epic has entertained and edified our society through its numerous identity-relevant narratives since time immemorial. The longevity of The Mahabharata lies in its capacity to adapt, adopt and re-fashion the account, which grants endless opportunities of initiating open-ended debate. The grand Epic has shaped our values and shared a template by which a life guided by Dharma is to be lived. The dialogic text continues to contribute to the resolution of our emotional angst and existential dilemmas. Much ahead of its times, the Epic revels in the liminality that is apparent in the narratives of the gender-queer people who are an integral part of its culture-scape. This paper seeks to study two liminal figures in the Epic narrative – Shikhandi, the trans-gender Prince of Panchala, and Yuvanashwa, the pregnant King, who swayed between gendered identities and challenged the hegemonic heteronormative sexual framework, thereby opening avenues of conversation related to marginalization, resistance and empowerment. The paper also examines the queer cases of King Sudyumna and King Bhangashwan, who questioned the symbolic binaries of gender and delineated a horizon of possibilities. The aim here is to measure the resistance of the genderqueer against the prescriptive order of subjectivities and assess the impact and the outcome. Drawing from the deconstructivist and the queer theories, the study foregrounds the trauma and the resistance of the marginal. These narratives establish The Mahabharata as one of the earliest texts to have a meaningful discourse in the queer-space.

Authors: Horvath Jaqueline Driemeyer Correia , Bessel Marina , Kops Natália Luiza , Souza Flávia Moreno Alves , Pereira Gerson Mendes , Wendland Eliana Marcia
Published: November 2021

Background

The credibility of a study and its internal and external validity depend crucially on the quality of the data produced. An in-depth knowledge of quality control processes is essential as large and integrative epidemiological studies are increasingly prioritized.

Objective

This study aimed to describe the stages of quality control in the POP-Brazil study and to present an analysis of the quality indicators.

Methods

Quality assurance and control were initiated with the planning of this nationwide, multicentric study and continued through the development of the project. All quality control protocol strategies, such as training, protocol implementation, audits, and inspection, were discussed one by one. We highlight the importance of conducting a pilot study that provides the researcher the opportunity to refine or modify the research methodology and validating the results through double data entry, test-retest, and analysis of nonresponse rates.

Results

This cross-sectional, nationwide, multicentric study recruited 8628 sexually active young adults (16-25 years old) in 119 public health units between September 2016 and November 2017. The Human Research Ethics Committee of the Moinhos de Vento Hospital approved this project.

Conclusions

Quality control processes are a continuum, not restricted to a single event, and are fundamental to the success of data integrity and the minimization of bias in epidemiological studies. The quality control steps described can be used as a guide to implement evidence-based, valid, reliable, and useful procedures in most observational studies to ensure data integrity.

Predicting New Daily COVID-19 Cases and Deaths Using Search Engine Query Data in South Korea From 2020 to 2021: Infodemiology Study
Authors: Husnayain Atina , Shim Eunha , Fuad Anis , Su Emily Chia-Yu
Published: November 2021

Background

Given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic situation, accurate predictions could greatly help in the health resource management for future waves. However, as a new entity, COVID-19’s disease dynamics seemed difficult to predict. External factors, such as internet search data, need to be included in the models to increase their accuracy. However, it remains unclear whether incorporating online search volumes into models leads to better predictive performances for long-term prediction.

Objective

The aim of this study was to analyze whether search engine query data are important variables that should be included in the models predicting new daily COVID-19 cases and deaths in short- and long-term periods.

Methods

We used country-level case-related data, NAVER search volumes, and mobility data obtained from Google and Apple for the period of January 20, 2020, to July 31, 2021, in South Korea. Data were aggregated into four subsets: 3, 6, 12, and 18 months after the first case was reported. The first 80% of the data in all subsets were used as the training set, and the remaining data served as the test set. Generalized linear models (GLMs) with normal, Poisson, and negative binomial distribution were developed, along with linear regression (LR) models with lasso, adaptive lasso, and elastic net regularization. Root mean square error values were defined as a loss function and were used to assess the performance of the models. All analyses and visualizations were conducted in SAS Studio, which is part of the SAS OnDemand for Academics.

Results

GLMs with different types of distribution functions may have been beneficial in predicting new daily COVID-19 cases and deaths in the early stages of the outbreak. Over longer periods, as the distribution of cases and deaths became more normally distributed, LR models with regularization may have outperformed the GLMs. This study also found that models performed better when predicting new daily deaths compared to new daily cases. In addition, an evaluation of feature effects in the models showed that NAVER search volumes were useful variables in predicting new daily COVID-19 cases, particularly in the first 6 months of the outbreak. Searches related to logistical needs, particularly for “thermometer” and “mask strap,” showed higher feature effects in that period. For longer prediction periods, NAVER search volumes were still found to constitute an important variable, although with a lower feature effect. This finding suggests that search term use should be considered to maintain the predictive performance of models.

Conclusions

NAVER search volumes were important variables in short- and long-term prediction, with higher feature effects for predicting new daily COVID-19 cases in the first 6 months of the outbreak. Similar results were also found for death predictions.
Exploring Online Health Reviews to Monitor COVID-19 Public Health Responses in Alabama State Department of Corrections: Case Example (Preprint)
Authors: Valera Pamela , Carmona David , Malarkey Sarah , Sinangil Noah , Owens Madelyn , Lefebre Asia
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has devastated incarcerated people throughout the United States.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility and acceptability of a COVID-19 Health Review for Correctional Facilities.

METHODS

The COVID-19 Health Review survey for the Department of Corrections was developed in Qualtrics to assess the following: (1) COVID-19 testing, (2) providing personal protective equipment, (3) vaccination procedures, (4) quarantine procedures, (5) COVID-19 mortality rates for inmates, (6) COVID-19 mortality rates for correctional officers and prison staff, (7) COVID-19 infection rates for inmates, (8) COVID-19 infection rates for correctional officers and prison staff, and (9) uptake of COVID-19 vaccines. The estimated time to review the Alabama State Department of Corrections COVID-19 responses on their website and complete the survey items was 45 minutes to 1 hour.

RESULTS

Of the 21 participants who completed the COVID-19 Health Review for Correctional Facilities survey, 48% (n=10) identified as female, 43% (n=9) identified as male, and 10% (n=2) identified as transgender. For race, 29% (n=6) self-identified as Black or African American, 24% (n=5) Asian, 24% (n=5) White, 5% (n=1) Pacific Islander or Native Hawaiian, and 19% (n=4) Other. In addition, 5 respondents self-identified as returning citizens. For COVID-19 review questions, the majority concluded that information on personal protective equipment was “poor” and “very poor,” information on COVID-19 testing was “fair” and above, information on COVID-19 death/infection rates between inmates and staff was “good” and “very good,” and information on vaccinations was “good” and “very good.” There was a significant difference observed (P=.03) between nonreturning citizens and returning citizens regarding the health grade review with respect to available information on COVID-19 infection rates.

CONCLUSIONS

COVID-19 health reviews may provide an opportunity for the public to review the COVID-19 responses in correctional settings.
Development of a Maternal and Child mHealth Intervention With Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Mothers: Co-design Approach (Preprint)
Authors: Perkes Sarah Jane , Huntriss Belinda , Skinner Noelene , Leece Bernise , Dobson Rosie , Mattes Joerg , Hall Kerry , Bonevski Billie
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

Despite their growing popularity, there are very few mobile health (mHealth) interventions for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people that are culturally safe and evidence based. A co-design approach is considered a suitable methodology for developing health interventions with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to co-design an mHealth intervention to improve health knowledge, health behaviors, and access to health services for women caring for young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.

METHODS

Aboriginal researchers led engagement and recruitment with health services and participants in 3 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in New South Wales, Australia. Focus groups and interviews were facilitated by researchers and an app developer to gather information on 3 predetermined themes: design characteristics, content modules, and features and functions. Findings from the co-design led to the development of an intervention prototype. Theories of health behavior change were used to underpin intervention components. Existing publicly available evidence-based information was used to develop content. Governance was provided by an Aboriginal advisory group.

RESULTS

In total, 31 mothers and 11 health professionals participated in 8 co-design focus groups and 12 interviews from June 2019 to September 2019. The 6 design characteristics identified as important were credibility, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander designs and cultural safety, family centeredness, supportive, simple to use, and confidential. The content includes 6 modules for women’s health: Smoke-free families, Safe drinking, Feeling good, Women’s business, Eating, and Exercising. The content also includes 6 modules for children’s health: Breathing well; Sleeping; Milestones; Feeding and eating; Vaccinations and medicines; and Ears, eyes, and teeth. In addition, 6 technology features and functions were identified: content feed, social connection, reminders, rewards, communication with health professionals, and use of videos.

CONCLUSIONS

An mHealth intervention that included app, Facebook page, and SMS text messaging modalities was developed based on the co-design findings. The intervention incorporates health behavior change theory, evidence-based information, and the preferences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and health professionals. A pilot study is now needed to assess the acceptability and feasibility of the intervention.
The More Complex the More Inefficient: Evidence from Online Health Knowledge Sharing Platform Incentive Mechanism (Preprint)
Authors: Dang Yuanyuan , Guo Shanshan , Song Haochen , Li Yi
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

Online health knowledge-sharing platforms (OHKSPs) play an increasingly important role in enriching residents’ health knowledge, thus improving their health behaviors. The participation of physicians determines whether the platforms can provide high-quality health knowledge to the public. However, little research has focused on motivating physicians to share more professional health knowledge on the platforms. Understanding physicians’ behavioral intention for professional health knowledge sharing (PHKS) is essential to support the development of OHKSPs and improve public health.

OBJECTIVE

We examine the relationship between incentives and PHKS in OHKSPs. Specifically, we explore the effects of incentives with different complexities in an OHKSP on the quantity and quality of PHKS. We explore how such effects differ across varying levels of professional titles.

METHODS

We conducted four field experiments with different incentive strategies in one of China's largest OHKSPs. Monthly panel data of 10,584 physicians were collected from January 2018 to December 2019. An empirical study with a fixed-effect analysis was conducted to test our hypotheses. The time fixed effect and the individual fixed effect were considered to identify incentives' effects on physicians’ PHKS. Additionally, a cross-sectional analysis was performed for a robustness check.

RESULTS

The results show that the incentive has a significant positive effect on the quantity of physicians’ PHKS (β=0.50012, 0.35167, 0.28337, 0.22899; p<0.01). However, the incentive has a significant negative effect on the quality of physicians’ PHKS (β=-0.12911, -0.12039, -0.10948, -0.07933; p<0.01). We found that the positive effect of incentives with high complexity on the quantity of physicians’ PHKS is significantly smaller than incentives with low complexity (0.22899<0.50012, p<0.01). The absolute value of the negative effect of incentives with high complexity on the quality of physicians’ PHKS is also significantly smaller than incentives with low complexity (-0.12911<-0.07933, p<0.01). Moreover, we found that high professional title positively impacts the effect of incentives with low complexity on both the quantity and the quality of physicians’ PHKS (coefficients are in the same valence).

CONCLUSIONS

Incentives have a bilateral effect on PHKS, i.e., a positive effect on the quantity of physicians’ contribution and a negative effect on the quality of physicians’ PHKS. Such bilateral switches of PHKS require a balanced state in conjunction with practical implications. Furthermore, the more complex the incentives are, the more inefficient the effects on physicians’ PHKS are. This research also identifies a moderate effect of professional titles on incentives and physicians’ PHKS.
The Challenge of Debunking Health Misinformation in Dynamic Social Media Conversations: Online Randomized Study of Public Masking During COVID-19 (Preprint)
Authors: Mourali Mehdi , Drake Carly
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

The spread of false and misleading health information on social media can cause individual and social harm. Research on debunking has shown that properly designed corrections can mitigate the impact of misinformation, but little is known about the impact of correction in the context of prolonged social media debates. For example, when a social media user takes to Facebook to make a false claim about a health-related practice and a health expert subsequently refutes the claim, the conversation rarely ends there. Often, the social media user proceeds by rebuking the critic and doubling down on the claim.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to examine the impact of such extended back and forth between false claims and debunking attempts on observers’ dispositions toward behavior that science favors. We tested competing predictions about the effect of extended exposure on people’s attitudes and intentions toward masking in public during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic and explored several psychological processes potentially underlying this effect.

METHODS

A total of 500 US residents took part in an online experiment in October 2020. They reported on their attitudes and intentions toward wearing masks in public. They were then randomly assigned to one of four social media exposure conditions (misinformation only vs misinformation+correction vs misinformation+correction+rebuke vs misinformation+correction+rebuke+second correction), and reported their attitudes and intentions for a second time. They also indicated whether they would consider sharing the thread if they were to see it on social media and answered questions on potential mediators and covariates.

RESULTS

Exposure to misinformation had a negative impact on attitudes and intentions toward masking (β=–.35, 95% CI –.42 to –.29; P<.001). Moreover, initial debunking of a false claim generally improved attitudes and intentions toward masking (β=.35, 95% CI .16 to .54; P<.001). However, this improvement was washed out by further exposure to false claims and debunking attempts (β=–.53, 95% CI –.72 to –.34; P<.001). The latter result is partially explained by a decrease in the perceived objectivity of truth. That is, extended exposure to false claims and debunking attempts appear to weaken the belief that there is an objectively correct answer to how people ought to behave in this situation, which in turn leads to less positive reactions toward masking as the prescribed behavior.

CONCLUSIONS

Health professionals and science advocates face an underappreciated challenge in attempting to debunk misinformation on social media. Although engaging in extended debates with science deniers and other purveyors of bunk appears necessary, more research is needed to address the unintended consequences of such engagement.
Reforma a las pensiones por vejez como paliativo a la falta del seguro de desempleo y de dependencia
Authors: Mendizábal Bermúdez Gabriela
Published: November 2021

Un sistema de seguridad social debidamente estructurado protege a la población de las contingencias y las necesidades derivadas de ellas, a través de diversos seguros. De esta forma se cuenta en México con los seguros de riesgos de trabajo; enfermedades y maternidad; invalidez y vida; cesantía en edad avanzada y vejez; y guarderías y prestaciones sociales. 

Sobre el seguro de vejez, es importante reconocer que no sólo existe el riesgo de envejecer, sino que además a lo largo de la vida existe la posibilidad de quedar desempleado y no poder cotizar las semanas necesarias para obtener una pensión por vejez, y también existe la posibilidad de convertirse en algún momento de la vida en una persona dependiente de otra, ya sea derivado de un accidente, enfermedad o por el simple paso del tiempo. 

En ese sentido, el objetivo del presente capítulo es demostrar que se requiere una reforma a la seguridad social de México que atienda la problemática ocasionada por tres contingencias que inciden directamente en la vida de los adultos mayores: el desempleo a lo largo de la vida laboral, la dependencia y por supuesto las consecuencias de la propia vejez. 
La identidad de la mujer en la cultura musulmana
Authors: Castañeda Rivas María Leoba
Published: November 2021

En las fuentes de la ley islámica se encuentran pruebas para confirmar que el principio de la igualdad absoluta entre hombres y mujeres tanto en la esfera privada como en la vida pública, es una realidad. Aun cuando por supuesto, en los hechos esto no es cierto. Así, el entorno de la mujer es limitado, reprimido y poco autónomo. En el presente ensayo, se partirá de la indagación de la condición de la mujer en los diferentes sistemas jurídicos para comprender el papel de la mujer dentro del derecho islámico. Se analizará la religión, política y las fuentes del derecho musulmán. De la misma manera, se atenderán a las ramas jurídicas y distintas disposiciones relativas a la mujer considerando los tópicos igualdad de género, derechos naturales, deberes y obligaciones, recompensas y castigos, propiedad, educación. Finalmente, se reflexionará sobre el derecho familiar musulmán.

Authors: Peterman Karen , Garlick Sarah , Besley John , Allen Sue , Fallon Lambert Kathy , Nadkarni Nalini M. , Rosin Mark S. , Weber Caitlin , Weiss Marissa , Wong Jen
Published: November 2021

This paper is the culmination of several meaning-making activities between an external researcher, PES practitioners, and social scientist researchers who considered the unique contributions that can be made through RPPs on PES (that is, research-practice partnerships on public engagement with science). Based on the experiences from three RPP projects, the group noted that the PES context may be particularly suited to RPPs, and identified the importance of working as thinking-partners who support reciprocal decision-making. Recommendations are made in support of using these approaches to advance practical knowledge-building and reduce shared frustrations about the disconnect between research and practice in PES.

Published: November 2021

Despite the important role of the order Odonata in ecosystems, there is a lack of information about dragonfly communities in several regions, high elevation sites, and environmentally protected areas in Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Our objective was to assess the abundance and richness of dragonfly and damselfly communities along an elevational gradient in the Atlantic Forest,southeastern Brazil. This study was conducted in the Fernão Dias Environmental Protection Area,Mantiqueira Mountain region, Gonçalves, Minas Gerais State, in sites covered by Seasonal Semideciduous and mixed forests. This is the first study of Odonata communities in the region. Samplings were carried out on 17 days from October 2019 to March 2020 at three elevation ranges (low,mid, and high). A total of 293 specimens, distributed in 39 species and 9 families, were sampled. Elevation did not influence the richness or abundance of dragonflies but altered community composition. Some species were found to be exclusive to high-elevation sites, such as Heteragrion mantiqueirae Machado, 2006, which was recorded for the first time in Minas Gerais and we provide a description and diagnosis of the single female collected in tandem. A novel species of the genus Brechmorhoga was found to occur at mid and high elevations. The composition of dragonfly communities depends on the degree of preservation and extension of forest areas. Therefore, conservation of forests in Gonçalves is crucial for preserving Odonata diversity in Minas Gerais State.

Published: November 2021

O texto a seguir, como se fora uma crônica, enumera as principais atividades do Grupo Lerte, da PUC-SP em seu trabalho na interface teologia e literatura. Destaca que o grupo privilegia no estudo o chamado método antropológico, baseado na compreensão da revelação divina acontecendo em categorias humanas, e finca bem suas raízes na proposta de uma reflexão teológica que leve a sério o humano afirmado na literatura. Daí a necessidade de uma análise literária séria e consequente, aliada a uma hermenêutica que seja igualmente de qualidade e que possibilite a relação entre teologia e literatura. Por isso o apelo ao pensamento de Paul Ricoeur, cuja filosofia não afirma apenas a necessidade da compreensão do texto, mas sim a possibilidade de se compreender no mundo a partir do texto. Do ponto de vista da elaboração teológica, sua reflexão precisa ser, igualmente, séria e consequente, e por isso as referências ao pensamento de Rahner, Gesché, ao espírito do Concílio Vaticano II e à tradição teológica latino-americana.

Even though almost all of its territory is relatively fertile agricultural land, but it is not supported by quality human resources, due to the low level of education due to dropping out of school. from this it can be concluded that When the head of the family has a low education, the impact is that the provision of a living is the main axis in building family welfare. This study critically analyzes the responsibilities of a husband as the head of the family in his role in realizing the family's economic welfare. The responsibility to provide a living is a consequence that must be carried out by the husband after the marriage. In other words, this study aims to provide a general view that the implementation of a living is considered capable of alleviating poverty in the family environment. The more a husband realizes the obligation of living and tries to fulfill it, it means that he can build and nurture a family well in economic prosperity. Through the analysis of basic needs, this study traces the economic welfare of the family which is influenced by the awareness of the responsibilities of living, which includes the needs of clothing, food and housing. The implication of this research is the necessity to optimize the concept of living in improving the economic welfare of the family.

Patients with hemodialysis commonly experience multiple symptoms. Most of the previous studies analyzedthe symptoms as one dimension such as the severity dimension. Conducting the comprehensive symptomassessment among patients with hemodialysis is necessary to gain a better understanding of the symptom burden.The aim of this study was to identify symptom burden among patients with hemodialysis comprehensively.This study was a descriptive study. A convenience sample of 320 patients undergoing hemodialysis was recruitedfrom the dialysis units at two referral hospitals in Indonesia (Fatmawati Hospital and Cipto MangunkusumoNational Hospital). Indonesian Version of Chronic Kidney Disease – Symptom Burden Index (CKD-SBI) wasused. For the data analysis, descriptive analysis was used. Total 320 subjects were collected. This study foundthat lack of energy was the highest physical symptom burden under 4 dimensions: occurrence 269 (84.0%),severity (mean = 4.28, SD = 3.08), distress (mean = 4.42, SD = 3.09), and frequency (mean = 4.41, SD = 3.27).Furthermore, decreased interest in sex was the highest psychological symptom burden under for dimensions:occurrence 210 (65.6%), severity (mean = 3.39, SD = 3.38), distress (mean = 2.92, SD = 2.99), frequency(mean = 3.70, SD = 3.65). Lack of energy and decreased interest in sex were consistently the highest symptomburden among patients with hemodialysis. Creating appropriate interventions and managing the symptomsexperienced by patients with hemodialysis comprehensively is very important to improve their quality of life.
Porównanie wybranych odmian wiechliny łąkowej (Poa pratensis) użytkowanej w systemie ‘park’

Published: November 2021

Badania zrealizowano w latach 2011–2012 w Gnatowicach koło Krakowa. Ich celem była ocena wybranych odmian wiechliny łąkowej użytkowanej w systemie ‘park’. U badanych odmian: ‘Alicja’, ‘Ani’, ‘Bila’, ‘Conni’, ‘Evora’ oraz ‘Limousine’ dokonano oceny: stanu roślin wiosną i jesienią, ogólnego aspektu estetycznego (OA), zadarnienia (Z), intensywności odrastania (IO) oraz występowania chorób. Wiosną najlepszym stanem cechowała się odmiana ‘Limousine’, natomiast najgorszym ‘Evora’. Sposób przezimowania był istotnie zróżnicowany u każdej odmiany. Ogólny aspekt estetyczny i zadarnienie było zależne od odmiany, pory i roku badań. Najbardziej atrakcyjnie rośliny wyglądały latem, natomiast najgorzej jesienią. Na ogół większą intensywnością odrastania cechowały się odmiany w drugim roku badań, wyjątkami pod tym względem były ‘Conni’ i ‘Evora’. Największe nasilenie dwóch chorób – Microdochium nivale i Entyloma dactylidis – zaobserwowano wiosną. Najbardziej porażone przez Puccinia striiformis były rośliny jesienią. Najłagodniejsze objawy Drechslera poae odnotowano latem u wszystkich odmian wiechliny łąkowej.
A Thomistic Defense of “Nature” in Avicenna’s Physics
Authors: Peters Catherine
Published: November 2021

Avicenna offers a novel definition of “nature” as a power in his Physics of the Healing. Some have seen in this redefinition a radical departure from Aristotle. James Weisheipl, for one, rejected Avicenna’s definition as a mistaken interpretation of Aristotle and as a position incompatible with Thomas Aquinas. In Weisheipl’s view, Avicenna reifies form into a kind of motor of the natural being, a conception earlier rejected by Thomas Aquinas in several works. In this study, I offer a Thomistic defense of Avicenna by investigating the definition of nature and its relation to matter and form.
