AbstractMiniaturization of batteries lags behind the success of modern electronic devices. Neither the device volume nor the energy density of microbatteries meets the requirement of microscale electronic devices. The main limitation for pushing the energy density of microbatteries arises from the low mass loading of active materials. However, merely pushing the mass loading through increased electrode thickness is accompanied by the long charge transfer pathway and inferior mechanical properties for long‐term operation. Here, a new spiral microelectrode upon stress‐actuation accomplishes high mass loading but short charge transfer pathways. At a small footprint area of around 1 mm2, a 21‐fold increase of the mass loading is achieved while featuring fast charge transfer at the nanoscale. The spiral microelectrode delivers a maximum area capacity of 1053 µAh cm−2 with a retention of 67% over 50 cycles. Moreover, the energy density of the cylinder microbattery using the spiral microelectrode as the anode reaches 12.6 mWh cm−3 at an ultrasmall volume of 3 mm3. In terms of the device volume and energy density, the cylinder microbattery outperforms most of the current microbattery technologies, and hence provides a new strategy to develop high‐performance microbatteries that can be integrated with miniaturized electronic devices.

Authors: Olorunsola Olufunso Stephen , Ogwueleka Francisca Nonyelum , Evwiekpaefe Abraham E. 
Published: July 2020

AbstractBiometric authentication technology are being increasingly used for many applications. Since such technology requires high level human interaction, effective implementation and acceptability of such system depends on users' perception, particularly, in the area of system safety and privacy. This study was conducted using a survey design accomplished through the use of a descriptive rating, Likert‐type survey instrument. Quantitative data were collected from participants in four tertiary academic institutions and Statistical Package for Social Science version 23 was used for data analysis. The survey focuses on three universities and a polytechnic situated in Kaduna metropolis. Deliberate sampling technique was used in selecting the four academic institutions, stratified random sampling technique was used in administering the survey instrument to 50 respondents from each institutions. The survey sampled 200 participants. Result from the study revealed the importance of considering users' perception before the implementation of biometric system. Major factors that significantly influence perception in this study are users' knowledge of biometric system and gender. Furthermore, 99.5% of the respondents show that public enlightenment and formulation of appropriate legal guidelines to back the use of biometric information will instil confidence in users of biometric technology.
Influence of production parameters on the fiber geometry and the mechanical behavior of ultra high performance fiber‐reinforced concrete
Authors: Maryamh Kasem , Hauch Konstantin , Redenbach Claudia , Schnell Jürgen 
Published: July 2020

AbstractIn this paper, the relationship between production parameters of ultra high performance fiber‐reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) and the spatial distribution and orientation of the steel fibers is investigated. UHPFRC specimens with varying fiber diameter, fiber volume fraction, and rheology of the mixture are produced. Additionally, casting is performed from the side or the middle of the formwork. Imaging by micro computed tomography allows for a statistical analysis of the spatial arrangement of the fibers in the test specimens. The flexural behavior and the load capacity of the specimens are analyzed by four point bending tests. The results of the bending tests are well explained by characteristics of the fiber systems determined from the image data.
Pragmatic approaches to transboundary river governance: Exploring pathways for co‐operation on shared water resources
Authors: Upadhyay Mukunda 
Published: July 2020

AbstractTransboundary water governance policies include formulation, establishment, and implementation of progressive water policies, legal frameworks and institutional arrangements and the pragmatic involvement of not only the state actors but also the private actors along with the civil society whose participation in policy‐level discourses are pertinent and significant. Co‐operation on shared water resources could be achieved if continuous dialogues are ensured through consultative processes adopting the framework under community‐based water governance regimes. For this to happen, the community's involvement in policy‐level discourses is very important in exploring the possibilities of pragmatic steps that could be adopted for a greater welfare. Various governance issues concerning the availability of drinking water and its quality; disaster caused by floods and landslides and the overall impact of industrial pollution on the river ecosystem could be managed if major policies reach out to address the struggles and challenges faced by the various marginalized groups in riparian areas. This paper is an endeavor to unearth the possibilities of exploring transboundary water governance through the perspective of culture and how it can contribute to sustainability. In this, the most principal consideration to be acknowledged is that the lived experiences of riparian communities which should be considered as a key parameter in formulating water‐related policies internally and regionally.
Menstruation and Religion: Developing a Critical Menstrual Studies Approach
Authors: Cohen Ilana 
Published: July 2020

AbstractCohen develops a critical approach to menstruation and religion by showing how in both Judaism and Hinduism menstruation is part of larger purity systems concerned with defining the boundaries of identity and community. In so doing, Cohen moves beyond the question of how religious women meaningfully navigate compliance with menstrual practices and restrictions to draw attention to the ways religiously motivated menstrual practices create gendered roles and expectations and channel women’s sexuality for specific reproductive purposes. Through a comparative discussion of how the laws of Niddah in Judaism have evolved and a discussion of the different ways menstruation is linked to communicative states of being in Hinduism, Cohen explores how studying the intersection of menstruation and religion can contribute to better understanding how religious communities and cultures define and (re)produce themselves.
The Menstrual Mark: Menstruation as Social Stigma
Authors: Johnston-Robledo Ingrid , Chrisler Joan C. 
Published: July 2020

AbstractIn this theoretical paper, we argue that menstruation is a source of social stigma for women. The word stigma refers to any stain or mark that renders the individual’s body or character defective. This stigma is transmitted through powerful socialization agents in popular culture such as advertisements and educational materials. We demonstrate, in our review of the psychological literature concerning attitudes and experiences of predominantly American girls and women, that the stigmatized status of menstruation has important consequences for their health, sexuality, and well-being. We argue that the stigma of menstruation both reflects and contributes to women’s lower social status and conclude with suggestions for ways to resist the stigma.
The Menarche Journey: Embodied Connections and Disconnections
Authors: Piran Niva 
Published: July 2020

AbstractIn this chapter, Piran engages with girls at puberty through their narrated experiences of embodied connections to the physical and social world during menarche. Utilizing the theoretical frame of the Developmental Theory of Embodiment (Piran inJourneys of Embodiment at the Intersection of Body and Culture: The Developmental Theory of Embodiment, 2017), Piran focuses on experiences in three domains. First, she shows that girls’ temporary freedom of engagement in the physical territory alongside boys ends at menarche, compromising embodied joy, agency, and positive connection to the physical environment. Second, she examines how strongly enforced ‘femininity’-related discourses at menarche, which are further imposed by menstruation-related discourses, corset the way girls can inhabit their bodies. Third, Piran argues that menarche is a biological event that is associated with embodied demotion in social power and with disrupting relational networks. She concludes that positive embodiment at menarche depends on the availability of relational connections and norms that can counteract these adverse social experiences.
The Womb Wanders Not: Enhancing Endometriosis Education in a Culture of Menstrual Misinformation
Authors: Guidone Heather C. 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Embedded in the centuries-old assertion that the womb was a nomadic entity wandering about the body causing hysteria and distress, persistent menstrual misinformation and misconceptions remain prevalent wherein pain disorders like endometriosis are concerned. Affecting an estimated 176 million individuals worldwide, endometriosis is a major cause of non-menstrual pain, dyspareunia, painful menses and reduced quality of life among individuals of all races and socioeconomic backgrounds. Wide-ranging symptoms may be dismissed as routine by both patients and practitioners alike due to lack of disease literacy, and lengthy diagnostic delays can exacerbate the negative impact of endometriosis on the physical, psychological, emotional and social well-being of those affected. This chapter identifies some of these challenges and explores how obstacles to best practice can be reduced in part through adoption of early educational campaigns which incorporate endometriosis as a major component of menstrual health education.
Introducing Menstrunormativity: Toward a Complex Understanding of ‘Menstrual Monsterings’
Authors: Persdotter Josefin 
Published: July 2020

AbstractIn this text, Persdotter advances critical menstrual studies by introducing and developing the concept ofmenstrunormativityas a way to understand the ways normativities around menstruation affect and discipline menstrual subjects. To do so, she works with the idea of a system of multiple and contradictory normativities that order and stratify menstruation. Persdotter makes four interlinked arguments regarding menstrunormativity: (1) normativities work in clustered, complex ways; (2) the cluster of normativities that surround menstruation produce an impossible ideal subjectivity (the imaginedmenstrunormate), which follows that we are all actuallymenstrual monsters; (3) normativities are continuously coproduced by everyone and everything, which means we are all, always, culpable in creating monsters; and (4) there is significant potential in embracing ourselves as both Dr. Frankenstein and as monsters, since such a viewpoint produces more opportunities for livable lives for menstruators and the menstrual countermovement alike.
Bleeding in Public? Rethinking Narratives of Menstrual Management from Delhi’s Slums
Authors: McCarthy Annie , Lahiri-Dutt Kuntala 
Published: July 2020

AbstractMcCarthy and Lahiri-Dutt illuminate the menstrual experiences of women living in informal settlements in India. Beginning with a critique of menstrual hygiene management (MHM) and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) framings of women’s menstrual practices, they argue that these approaches ignore important spatial, social, and moral meanings attached to menstruating bodies in informal settlements. To substantiate their argument, McCarthy and Lahiri-Dutt take the reader into thejhuggīsand the lives of individual women who have migrated for work to the New Okhla Industrial Development Authority (NOIDA) area in Delhi, India. The authors show how, despite the congested and cramped conditions, women traverse the structural deficits of informal living to reconfigure notions of privacy and to navigate changing gender relations.
Menstrual Justice: A Missing Element in India’s Health Policies
Authors: Manorama Swatija , Desai Radhika 
Published: July 2020

AbstractProposing a novel framework of menstrual justice, the chapter argues that women’s health needs must be understood as the result of the complex interplay of their everyday gendered experiences of living, their biology, and their medical condition. The Indian state’s health policies fail women because they do not recognize that the marking of women as impure menstruating bodies is a cause of women’s health inequity from birth to death. This very denial by the state policy of women’s gendered experience of health is menstrual injustice. The chapter elaborates on this idea by establishing the links between women’s stigmatization as menstruating bodies, lack of control over their bodies, and ill-health, pointing to the high incidence of a variety of menstrual health problems in pre-menarche, during menstruation, perimenopause and postmenopause. The chapter then identifies the gender-specific biases, blind spots, gaps, and barriers in state policies that impede the security of women’s health across their life-cycles.
The Realities of Period Poverty: How Homelessness Shapes Women’s Lived Experiences of Menstruation
Authors: Vora Shailini 
Published: July 2020

AbstractIn this chapter, Vora focuses on the lived experiences of menstruation and homelessness. She offers an insight into the ways in which women experiencing homelessness understand and negotiate their leaky, menstrual bodies within contexts of limited financial and material resources. This study explores the scale of the personal, offering a phenomenological insight into the homeless experience of menstruators. Through personal interviews, Vora reveals that menstruation is regarded as a negative, emotional, and expensive experience. The participants are conscious of their doubly stigmatized status as homeless and menstruating, and they mobilize strategic rationalities to manage and conceal their menstrual status. Finally, Vora critically analyzes charitable initiatives that strive to alleviate the challenges faced when menstruating while homeless.
Monitoring Menstrual Health in the Sustainable Development Goals
Authors: Loughnan Libbet , Mahon Thérèse , Goddard Sarah , Bain Robert , Sommer Marni 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
This chapter offers a systematic overview of the strong but currently under-recognized relationship between menstrual health and the main monitoring framework of progress in global development 2015–2030: the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Looking at the overarching principles and intent of the SDG framework, and then goal by goal, the authors draw out particular SDG indicators to explain how monitoring met and unmet needs for menstrual health is essential to planning for SDG success. This chapter then describes some of the major data collection efforts that operate at-scale and could most readily provide new avenues for monitoring progress on menstrual health. The chapter concludes by outlining a way forward to strengthen monitoring and accountability for menstrual health during the SDG era.

Introduction: Menstruation as Material
Authors: Hasson Katie Ann 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
The varying meanings attached to menstruation, the stories we tell about it, the ways we manage it, and even how we experience menstruation differ depending on time, place, culture, and individual embodiment. But menstruation itself should seem self-evident. Menstruation is a biological reality, after all—a material fact, a fluid produced by the body that can be seen and felt, a reality that gives rise to a range of materials and products designed to absorb or contain it. And yet, as the chapters in this section show, despite its seemingly obvious materiality, menstruation must nonetheless be made to “matter.”
Painting Blood: Visualizing Menstrual Blood in Art
Authors: Green-Cole Ruth 
Published: July 2020

AbstractWhile there are isolated cases of reverence for menstruation, many societies impose a strict set of rules about the visualization of menstrual blood in art and visual culture. Green-Cole examines these hegemonic and patriarchal codes controlling discussion, commemoration, or visualization of menstruation, which have been internalized by millions of women worldwide as negative and shameful. One of the main tools used to maintain menstrual stigma is to erase the presence of the scene of menstruation in speech, image, and representation. Green-Cole argues that by publicly acknowledging menstruation and making it visible, the artworks discussed in this chapter are instrumental in undermining this stigma. She demonstrates how this process of undermining also changes what we assume to be the function and value of art. Finally, Green-Cole analyzes the ways in which artists have used paint to signify or stand in for blood as a challenge to the decorum of modernist formalism, which conveniently erased women’s issues.
Challenging the Menstruation Taboo One Sale at a Time: The Role of Social Entrepreneurs in the Period Revolution
Authors: Punzi Maria Carmen , Werner Mirjam 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Punzi and Werner offer an incisive analysis of the role of social entrepreneurs in the so-called ‘period revolution.’ The authors explore not only the market strategies and social media messaging of social enterprises, but also how other activists in the menstrual equity movement question or support their work. Building on interviews with 35 social entrepreneurs, communication with current and former Femcare employees, and participant observation of menstrual activists, this study provides a 360-degree view of the surprising number of social entrepreneurs who have entered the menstrual products space, their efforts to innovate and disrupt the industry, and the opportunities and potential pitfalls they face.
Transnational Engagements: Smashing the Last Taboo—Caring Corporations in Conversation
Authors: Perianes Milena Bacalja 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Bacalja Perianes delves into the relationship between capitalism and social change by focusing on how three companies balance profit-making with forging a menstrual health sector that promotes education, advocacy, gender equality, and women’s health. In the push to acquire new customers, companies wade into complex issues surrounding menstrual health needs in countries around the world. In light of efforts by social enterprises, start-ups, and large corporations to capitalize on the market and social opportunity of women’s bodies, Perianes asks the provocative question: Is this a good or bad trend? Does reframing consumption and consumer choice as activism actually undermine the effort needed to achieve gender equality? Or are we witnessing the rise of a new form of activism that works to achieve social change and improve the lives of women, girls, and their communities by means of business innovation?
Menstrual Trolls: The Collective Rhetoric of Periods for Pence
Authors: Conner Berkley D. 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
This chapter explores the protest strategies of Periods for Pence, a collective of Indiana menstruators and allies who organized in response to the passing of extreme antiabortion legislation, House Enrolled Act 1337, by then-Governor Mike Pence in 2016. Through an analysis of the group’s transcribed calls to Pence’s office, as well as various social media posts, Conner illustrates how Periods for Pence engaged in acts of narrative sharing, humor, and symbolic reversal to craft a cohesive account of varied experiences with menstruation. The study also draws on logics of menstruation to rhetorically re-moralize abortion as necessary. Conner concludes by demonstrating how critical study of menstruation-related activism asks scholars to rethink traditional conceptualizations of static “waves” of feminism and feminist rhetorical theorizing.
Navigating the Binary: A Visual Narrative of Trans and Genderqueer Menstruation
Authors: Frank S. E. , Dellaria Jac 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Menstruation is often categorized as a function of the female body that affects women. Trans and genderqueer people contest this biological function as a social signal of gender/sex identity. The comics illustrate the gendered interactions trans and genderqueer people must navigate in their daily lives and visually explore four gendered/ sexed social spheres: (1) gender/sex identity, (2) public bathroom attendance, (3) product marketing and messaging, and (4) healthcare. Each of these arenas is permeated by the biologically and socially constructed gender/sex binary, and as a result trans and genderqueer menstruators confront preexisting constraints ranging from social interactions to the built environment. These micro social symbols of gender/sex distinction are symptoms of a larger gender regime in which gender/sex are interpreted, regulatd, and policed.
The Human Rights of Women and Girls with Disabilities: Sterilization and Other Coercive Responses to Menstruation
Authors: Steele Linda , Goldblatt Beth 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Steele and Goldblatt argue that menstruation is a key site for discrimination and violence against women and girls with disabilities and that the law has been complicit in sustaining these injustices. The authors make this argument by exploring the law as it relates to sterilization and provide an overview of some of the legal dimensions of menstruation in relation to women and girls with disabilities. The authors offer Australia as a case study of the human rights challenges for this population. The study concludes with a call for critical menstruation studies scholarship to engage with the legal dimensions of menstruation in relation to women and girls with disabilities and consider how mainstream menstruation activism can address this population’s experiences and needs.
