Published: July 2016

<div><p><em>Women in India are approximately about out half of the population, they have been the weakest of the weaker sections which have been the most exploited in every field and in all sectors .Women in have been the most abused and have been undergone a various types of hardships in their everyday life. Even though the government of India have been implemented some of policies implemented as their social security not many of them have come to reality. The women domestic workers in India are the unorganized group who strived to make their living without any life security and are in the vital situations in their social life. Over the last few years, studies on domestic life security in India have noted the increase in the numbers of migrant female domestic workers in the cities. They have also observed that domestic work is highly informal in its organization and tinted the vulnerabilities of domestic workers who belong to the poorer and uneducated sections of society. These studies also note that women from <strong>marginalized castes</strong> form a substantive group of domestic workers (Kaur 2006; Neetha 2004 and 2008). Domestic workers form a significant part of this informal economy which is unorganised. Despite the fact, domestic workers, constitute a crushing 90% of this unorganized labor force in India, they have always been <strong>marginalized</strong> as the unorganised sector. Whether they work part time, full day or as live in workers, they are forced to put up with various indignities, in the privacy of the households they work in. This part of my paper constitutes the study of Domestic workers in the Bangalore city is significant aspect due to its urban development process and women domestic have found to be the most wanted. Domestic workers, an estimated <strong>4 lakhs</strong> in <strong>Bangalore City</strong> work under illogical rules, are largely unskilled and illiterate. For years, women have been doing the drudgery of washing, cleaning, cooking and all menial tasks in other households for their own survival. Long hours of work, years of toil often with no living wage, no rest or recreation, sexual harassment, abuse of their dignity, untouchability, often treated callously are the story of their lives. The conditions of lakhs of child women domestic workers, the 24 hours live in workers, are even more exploitative and obnoxious. There have been many cases of rape and murder, horror tales of children being beaten, locked in bathrooms, bitten and burnt by employers. In my paper I have highlight some of the vital incidents where women have been facing and also the government policies and programmes and polices in the women empowerment in the social sector.</em></p></div>

Yugoslav Black Wave and Critical Discourse: The Review of the Past, Criticism of Today and The Anticipation of Crisis
Authors: Lazarević- Radak Sanja 
Published: July 2016

Considering the so-called black wave as a group of original achievements of the Yugoslav cinema, I set aside its dominant themes. As most important I have marked: 1. The post-war chaos and the inversion of values; 2. The forms of alienation In socialist society; 3. The sexual revolution; 4. Assumptions about the possibility of the dissolution of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia; 5. The representations of marginalized groups. These topics are mentioned as forms of critique of real socialism at the time that reveals dissatisfaction with inconsistent application of Marxist thought in social practice. Today, when one can notice exoticism of the past and as its consequence the so called yugonostalgia the post-Yugoslav societies, these films can serve as a basis for questioning the value system of the Yugoslav socialist society to reveal the cracks in its idealized picture. Although the film, as a cultural product remains on the border between fantasy and the document, it reflects social relations. Like other forms of art film can be read like a text, and its semantics reveal consistency of defects, latent and manifest social criticism.

Published: July 2016

Study Design Secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial. Background Patient perception of the benefits gained from treatment is important, yet satisfaction with the outcome of treatment for chronic whiplash-associated disorders (WADs) has not been investigated. Objectives To investigate whether satisfaction with the outcome of treatment for chronic WAD changed over time, and whether there were group differences. Methods Two hundred sixteen people with chronic WAD (66% women; mean age, 40.4 years) participated in a 3-month program of physical therapist-led neck-specific exercises with or without a behavioral approach, or received a prescription of general physical activity. The main outcome was satisfaction with the outcome of treatment, assessed at baseline and 3, 6, and 12 months later. Additional outcomes were enablement and expectation fulfillment. Results Satisfaction improved over time in the 3 groups (odds ratio = 1.15; 95% confidence interval: 1.10, 1.20; P<.001). There was a significant group-by-time interaction (P<.001), with increased odds of being satisfied in the groups receiving neck-specific exercises compared to general physical activity. Enablement increased after completion of the intervention in all groups (P<.001). People who received neck-specific exercises reported greater enablement and expectation fulfillment than people prescribed general physical activity (P<.01). Conclusion Exercise interventions for chronic WAD led to increased satisfaction for 12 months following treatment that was unrelated to the type of exercise intervention received.

Here we report a case of bilateral adrenal histoplasmosis with disseminated disease in an immunocompetent patient.
Social change through place innovation
Authors: Lindberg Malin , Ericson Åsa , Gelter Jennie , Karlberg Helena 
Published: July 2016

This article explores how ‘place innovation’ can be used as a new scientific concept and practical tool to understand and shape the social design of the future.

The article’s starting point is a collaborative project between academia, industry and the community in northern Sweden. The project is developing knowledge and methods of place innovation based on a coherent perspective on the innovative design of places. Place innovation weaves together social, cultural, economic and technological aspects in order to increase the attractiveness of a place to existing and potential visitors, residents and investors.
Critical factors in the establishment of allopolyploids
Authors: Fowler Norma L. , Levin Donald A. 
Published: July 2016

PREMISE OF THE STUDY:The growth and spread of new polyploid populations have been explained in terms of fitness advantages over their diploid progenitors. However, a fitness advantage is not sufficient to insure the establishment of a polyploid; it must also overcome the obstacles of demographic stochasticity and minority disadvantage. Several studies have addressed the population dynamics of autopolyploids, but the present study is the first to consider allopolyploids, which are affected by more factors than autopolyploids.METHODS:We constructed a population dynamic model of four types of plants (two parent species, hybrids, allopolyploids) that also included an explicit breeding system.KEY RESULTS:The numbers of plants of each type were the most important factors determining whether the new allopolyploid would become established. More polyploid plants greatly increased the likelihood of polyploid persistence. More plants of the parent species and more hybrids resulted in more polyploids being produced. The model parameters with the most effect on polyploid establishment were potential population size (K), individual plant fecundity, and niche separation (α). The most important breeding system parameters were selfing rates, which mitigated minority disadvantage imposed by pollen limitation.CONCLUSIONS:The importance of population sizes, and the parameters that controlled them, in overcoming demographic stochasticity parallels the well‐recognized role of propagule pressure in determining the success of invasive species. We modeled the establishment of a new allopolyploid; analogous considerations would affect the establishment of a new autopolyploid. The critical role of population sizes in polyploid establishment should be more widely recognized.

Objective.Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is characterized by chronic inflammation of the axial and peripheral joints and ligamentous attachments. Gut immunity is thought to be involved in AS, because a prominent coexistence of gut and joint inflammation has been observed in patients with AS. Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are preferentially located in the gut lamina propria and produce inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 17 (IL-17) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), which are therapeutic targets for AS. This study aimed to investigate the involvement of MAIT cells in AS.Methods.The frequency of MAIT cells and their cytokine production were determined in patients with AS and healthy controls (HC). The expression of a MAIT cell activation marker (CD69) was analyzed in patients with AS by using flow cytometry.Results.The frequency of MAIT cells in the peripheral blood was lower in patients with AS compared with HC. The levels of IL-17 produced by MAIT cells after activation were higher in patients with AS than in the HC. CD69 expression on MAIT cells correlated with the Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score in patients with AS.Conclusion.These results suggest the involvement of MAIT cells in the pathogenesis of AS.

Objective.Systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) shares a number of clinical features and pathogenic mechanisms with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This study was designed to evaluate the tolerability of the IPF treatment pirfenidone in SSc-ILD. The known gastrointestinal, skin, and liver adverse events (AE) of pirfenidone are of importance given the involvement of these organs in SSc.Methods.All patients received pirfenidone and were randomized 1:1 to either a 2- or 4-week titration starting at 801 mg/day and finishing at a maintenance dose of 2403 mg/day. Patients received pirfenidone for 16 weeks in total. Assessments included treatment-emergent AE (TEAE) and exploratory disease outcomes.Results.Sixty-three patients were randomized; 96.8% experienced a TEAE and more patients reported TEAE during the titration versus the maintenance period. The most commonly reported TEAE were consistent with those observed for pirfenidone in IPF (nausea, headache, fatigue) and were similar regardless of titration schedule. More patients discontinued treatment because of TEAE in the 2- versus 4-week titration group (5 vs 1, respectively); all discontinuation events occurred > 3 weeks after reaching the full dose of pirfenidone. Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), taken by 63.5% of patients in addition to pirfenidone, did not appear to affect tolerability. Exploratory disease outcomes remained largely unchanged.Conclusion.Pirfenidone showed an acceptable tolerability profile in SSc-ILD, although a longer titration may be associated with better tolerability. Tolerability was not affected by concomitant MMF. The present findings support further investigation of pirfenidone in future clinical trials in patients with SSc-ILD.

Maladies rénales et inégalités sociales d’accès à la greffe en France
Authors: Baudelot Christian , Caillé Yvanie , Godechot Olivier , Mercier Sylvie 
Published: July 2016

Les maladies rénales sont invisibles et silencieuses jusqu’à un stade avancé. La transplantation est aujourd’hui le traitement le plus efficient à tous les âges de la vie en termes de survie et de qualité de vie, mais aussi pour le système de santé. Or, quels que soient le sexe ou l’âge, les patients les moins instruits y ont moins souvent accès que les autres en France. De nombreux facteurs indépendants concourent à ces inégalités sociales : la nature des pathologies rénales en partie produites par le mode de vie, l’attention prêtée aux premiers symptômes, mais aussi l’existence de deux traitements de suppléance (la dialyse et la transplantation) qui se pratiquent dans des univers professionnels différents. Les mieux armés pour s’orienter dans ce système sont les patients les plus instruits. Les inégalités d’accès aux traitements entraînent à leur tour de fortes inégalités d’accès ou de maintien dans l’emploi. Les moins diplômés héritent d’emplois éprouvants physiquement qui sont rarement compatibles avec les séances de dialyse et un organisme affaibli.
L’émergence d’un gouvernement humanitaire de la pauvreté nutritionnelle en Afrique de l’Ouest
Authors: Pinaud Samuel 
Published: July 2016

Cet article décrit le rôle de la quantification dans l’émergence d’un gouvernement humanitaire de la pauvreté nutritionnelle par les produits laitiers en Afrique de l’Ouest entre les années 1930 et 1980. Il analyse dans un premier temps la structuration progressive, dans l’entre-deux-guerres, des savoirs nutritionnels et des velléités réformatrices qui y sont associées. Dans un deuxième temps, il se centre sur les modalités de distribution des produits laitiers dans les colonies françaises d’AOF. Il montre que la quantification des besoins alimentaires des populations indigènes fait l’objet d’une lutte entre le pouvoir colonial et les institutions internationales entre les années 1930 et 1950 freinant d’autant la construction d’une vision universelle du problème de la faim dans le monde. Dans un troisième temps, il s’intéresse au rôle de la quantification nutritionnelle dans la gestion des programmes d’aide alimentaire en produits laitiers mis en place par les organisations internationales et la CEE dans la période 1950-1980. Il analyse les raisons pour lesquelles son influence sur les modes d’administration des produits laitiers fut limitée aux populations touchées par une guerre ou une sécheresse, ce qui laisse finalement largement ouverte la question de la prise en charge de la malnutrition chronique.
(Re)christianiser les masses populaires
Authors: Wynands Marie-Pierre 
Published: July 2016

À partir de l’analyse du fonds de la nonciature apostolique de Paris (Archives secrètes du Vatican), cet article interroge les fondements de la politique de rechristianisation de la société française impulsée sous le pontificat de Pie XI. Alors que la spécialisation de l’action catholique suggère une transformation du rapport de l’institution aux classes populaires, l’encadrement et la formation ne sont pourtant pas envisagés comme vecteurs d’émancipation sociale ou d’engagement politique dans l’entre-deux-guerres. D’un point de vue organisationnel en revanche, la mise en place d’une méthode d’apostolat « par le milieu » concurrence la structuration diocésaine et déstabilise du même coup l’ordre hiérarchique existant.
D’un droit défensif à un droit coopératif : la nécessaire réforme de notre justice pénale des affaires
Authors: Garapon Antoine , Mignon Colombet Astrid 
Published: July 2016

L’année 2014 a été marquée par deux affaires dans lesquelles de grandes entreprises françaises ont eu à verser des sommes conséquentes au ministère américain de la Justice (DOJ) au titre d’amendes transactionnelles. Les deux grandes entreprises françaises ont peut-être payé pour leurs fautes mais aussi ‒ voire surtout ‒ pour leur mauvaise compréhension d’une nouvelle règle du jeu du « business mondial ». Ces deux affaires illustrent l’apparition d’un nouveau paradigme en droit des affaires, largement inspiré par la culture du droit américain, qu’il est urgent de saisir pour adapter notre droit. Cet enjeu est devenu crucial pour la protection de nos entreprises à l’heure du droit global. Il l’est d’autant plus que le nouveau modèle en construction est en perpétuelle mutation et qu’il est nécessaire de s’adapter rapidement. À cette fin, il convient de détailler les enseignements de ces affaires, non seulement en vue de transformer notre système de justice mais, plus profondément encore, notre culture, et de la mettre ainsi au diapason de notre temps.
Molecular Profile of Tumor-Specific CD8+ T Cell Hypofunction in a Transplantable Murine Cancer Model

Published: July 2016

AbstractMechanisms of self-tolerance often result in CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) with a hypofunctional phenotype incapable of tumor clearance. Using a transplantable colon carcinoma model, we found that CD8+ T cells became tolerized in &lt;24 h in an established tumor environment. To define the collective impact of pathways suppressing TIL function, we compared genome-wide mRNA expression of tumor-specific CD8+ T cells from the tumor and periphery. Notably, gene expression induced during TIL hypofunction more closely resembled self-tolerance than viral exhaustion. Differential gene expression was refined to identify a core set of genes that defined hypofunctional TIL; these data comprise the first molecular profile of tumor-specific TIL that are naturally responding and represent a polyclonal repertoire. The molecular profile of TIL was further dissected to determine the extent of overlap and distinction between pathways that collectively restrict T cell functions. As suggested by the molecular profile of TIL, protein expression of inhibitory receptor LAG-3 was differentially regulated throughout prolonged late-G1/early-S phase of the cell cycle. Our data may accelerate efficient identification of combination therapies to boost anti-tumor function of TIL specifically against tumor cells.
