Authors: Abbasi Yasmeen , Shaikh Shazia Rahman , Memon Khalida Naz 
Published: July 2020

The postpartum family planning (PPFP) services are offered immediately after delivery (immediate PPFP), within 40 days after delivery (early PPFP) and within 12 month after delivery (extended PPFP). To promote PPFP the counselling during antenatal visit, before discharge from maternity ward, during postnatal visit and visit during immunization of their babies are the opportunities where health providers help them to decide about the post-partum contraception. Objectives: To compare the coverage of immediate and early postpartum family planning to extended postpartum family planning. To analyze the socio demographic barriers for adopting immediate and early postpartum family planning methods. To identify the missed opportunities for immediate and early postpartum family planning. Study Design: Community Based Comparative Cross Sectional study. Setting: Tando Jam and Hali Road Hyderabad, Sindh. Period: Three months from 01-07-2017 to 30-09-2017. Material & Methods: Three Hundred females of reproductive age (15 to 49 years) during immediate, early and extended postpartum period residing in study area were selected through Purposive Sampling Technique. A pre-designed questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 16. The participants were inquired about the usage and concerns towards immediate and early post-partum family planning methods. Barriers and opportunities were identified. The association between various socio-demographic variables and family planning method was determined by applying Chi-square test at ≤0.05 level of significance. Results: Highest number of the study participants were practicing extended method of post-partum family planning i.e. 223(74.33%), only 65(21.67%) had adopted early PPFP and 12 (4%) were practicing immediate post-partum family planning. Low socio-economic status, low literacy rate of both partner, young age of women, and permission from husband, fear of health problem due to contraception and previous bad experience with contraceptive methods were identified barriers towards family planning adoption. Deliveries in homes or in maternity home, facilitated by Dais, not going through ante-natal checkups and not bringing the last born for vaccination were reported with non-adoption of immediate post-partum family planning. Conclusion: The coverage of immediate and early postpartum family planning is very low in the community so the barriers and opportunities identified should be addressed to overcome the hindrances.

Statistically significant difference was present in treatment group in term of operative time i.e. (P-value = ˂ .05). In both treatment group, mean time to require to start normal activity in A and B was 10.06±1.771 and 11.14±2.485 and it is statistically significant (P-value=.001). Postoperative pain was less but statistically insignificant in study group. Conclusion: Desarda repair is better than Lichtenstein repair in terms of operative time and return to normal activity.

Constructing Contemporary Nationhood in the Museums and Heritage Centres of Catalonia
Authors: Breen Colin , Forsythe Wes , Raven John 
Published: July 2020

Geographically Spain consists of a complex mosaic of cultural identities and regional aspirations for varying degrees of autonomy and independence. Following the end of violent conflict in the Basque country, Catalonia has emerged as the most vocal region pursuing independence from the central Spanish state. Within the Catalan separatist movement, cultural heritage sites and objects have been appropriated to play an intrinsic role in supporting political aims, with a variety of cultural institutions and state-sponsored monumentality playing an active part in the formation and dissemination of particular identity-based narratives. These ae centred around the themes of a separate and culturally distinct Catalan nation which has been subject to extended periods of oppression by the varying manifestations of the central Spanish State. Recent developments have seen museums and other historic sites and places being appropriated and redesigned to play a more consciously active, overt and supportive role in the independence movement.

Epitaph for Deinias
Authors: Marucci Marta 
Published: July 2020

The funerary epigram, engraved on a base of white limestone that was found by E. Kirsten in Palairos in 1939, is the oldest from Hellenistic Akarnania. The text, composed of two elegiac couplets, commemorates the warrior Deinias, son of Learchos, who died young fighting against the Aetolians. The palaeographic characteristics of the letters of the inscription allow us to place it at the end of the 4th century BC: this dating seems to be confirmed by elements inside the text and by some historical sources (in particular Diodorus Siculus). The epitaph is an important testimony to local epigrammatic poetry: in fact, although it was made by an anonymous versifier, it appears remarkable both from a poetic (given the presence of formulas and topoi well attested in literature, such as the mourning for the immature mors of the warrior) as well as a linguistic point of view (in fact, forms taken from the Ionic dialect and from the epic can be found).

A Critical Review of Social Protection Policies, Programs and their Effectiveness in Nepal
Authors: Khanal Dilli Raj 
Published: July 2020

The objective of the paper is to review the existing literature on social security and social protection program in Nepal carried out by Government of Nepal and offered suggestion for the betterment of the program in the line of equality, financial sustainability and economic growth. The paper is prepared based on the desk review of the various scientific articles and report published by the institutions and individual authors. In total 64 papers have been reviewed published during ten years period ranges from 2006 to 2015.
Based on the critical review the paper conclude that Dalits, endangered community, school girls, child and people living in the remote areas such as Karnali have been benefitted from numerous social security related programs. The doubling of social assistance is enhancing social protection of those who are in such nets. However, social security programs lack effectiveness compared to increased budget, scattered programs implemented through different agencies in many instances in an adhoc basis without effective coordinated implementation mechanism has made the outcomes less beneficial and effective from the standpoint of intended beneficiaries. One of the serious challenges in the areas of social security is that still all workers working in the informal economy consisting of more than 96 per cent of the total labor force are outside the purview of social security program. The new Integrated Social Security act has also not covered the workers in the informal sector. Similarly, it encompasses through many ambiguities and overlaps. A big chunk of entitled population is deprived of getting the benefits of such programs. More worryingly, out of them, most deprived are disabled.
