„Clever girls are never much appreciated” – a pseudo-feminist attempt to (re)define the role of women in fairy tales retellings based on the example of The Surface Breaks by Louise O’Neill and Beasts and Beauty: Dangerous Tales by Soman Chainani
Authors: Matuszko Kinga 
Published: February 2025

The aim of the article is to discuss the changes authors introduce in contemporary retellings of fairy tales. The main focus is on (re)defining the role of women. Attention is drawn to the pseudo-feminist message of the novels. It is indicated that pseudo-feminism appears to adopt feminist ideas and attitudes, but in reality it does not contribute to promoting true gender equality and instead becomes a marketing tool. Such strategy is based on the insincere or superficial use of feminism in order to gain popularity and profit without a real commitment to improving the situation of women. The following work are analyzed: The Surface Breaks by Louise O’Neill and Beasts and Beauty: Dangerous Tales by Soman Chainani.
Rebeliantka. Inanna jako bohaterka polskich retellingów mitów sumeryjskich
Authors: Głos Mikołaj 
Published: February 2025

Celem artykułu jest interpretacja dwóch polskich retellingów mitów o sumeryjskiej bogini Inannie – Inanny (1986) Julity Mikulskiej oraz Anny In w grobowcach świata (2006) Olgi Tokarczuk. Obie powieści łączy potrzeba uwspółcześnienia tych historii, wpisania ich w futurystyczny – a wręcz postapokaliptyczny – wymiar rzeczywistości. Każda z nich stanowi próbę skomentowania współczesności, gdzie rola kobiety, choć wyemancypowana, podlega nieustannej presji patriarchatu. Mit o sumeryjskiej bogini wykorzystany przez pisarki spełnia dwa różne cele. W prozie Mikulskiej jest to walka kobiety o własną podmiotowość, u Tokarczuk zaś Inanna staje się mesjaszką poświęcającą się w imię lepszego świata, w którym dla każdego, dotąd wykluczonego i poniżanego, znajdzie się miejsce.
Przymierze z pustynią – na podstawie tomu "Nof galuj ejnajim" Jehudy Amichaja
Authors: Tarnowska Beata 
Published: February 2025

Artykuł Przymierze z pustynią – na podstawie tomu Nof galuj ejnajim Jehudy Amichaja przedstawia obraz Pustyni Judzkiej zawarty w wierszach izraelskiego poety Jehudy Amichaja. W utworach z tego tomu Pustynia Judzka ukazana została nie tylko jako kategoria biologiczno-geograficzna, ale przede wszystkim część wewnętrznego doświadczenia poety. Jest to przestrzeń symboliczna, nasycona zarówno osobistymi wspomnieniami, jak i zbiorową pamięcią wielu pokoleń Żydów, począwszy od czasów Masady aż po XX wiek. Na tej pustyni Amichaj, nawiązując do postaci Nieobecnego Boga, w którego wiarę już wcześniej utracił, prowadzi dialog z żydowską tradycją religijną. Tym jednak, co najbardziej zbliża go do pustyni, jest jej cisza i pustka, ewokująca otwarcie na Niewyrażalne, na świat skał i minerałów, i potężniejszą od antropologii prehistorię Ziemi.

Authors: Bejasa Virgil 
Published: February 2025

Gender equality refers to men and women having equal rights, opportunities, and duties in the family and society. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the connection between knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) of gender equality with each other. The study was conducted on 17 schools in BuenTaGe, Sub-Congressional District, Bohol, Philippines. The study surveyed 360 out of 5,427 senior high students in BuenTaGe. It shows that the respondents are highly knowledgeable and have a highly positive attitude and practices toward gender equality. The age and grade level of the respondents have no significant relationship with their KAP of gender equality; sex has a significant relationship with the respondents' KAP on gender equality. The study concluded that the level of knowledge is moderately correlated with the attitude and practices and that the attitude toward gender equality is strongly correlated to the practices. It also concluded that there is a significant difference between the sexes concerning the level of KAP on gender equality. It concluded that the grade level of the students has a significant difference in their level of knowledge and no significant difference in the attitude and practices on gender equality.

Authors: Ambrosio Leticia , Pereira Amanda dos Santos , Coelho Flavia dos Santos , Magalhães Lilian Vieira 
Published: February 2025

Since the colonization of Brazil in 1500, systemic, institutional and relational racism has produced inequalitites for its black and indigenous people. This legacy perpetuates while supremacy intensifies social inequalities.
This opinion piece aims to raise reflexivity on racism in Brazil and its impact on the occupations of black people within the context of occupational apartheid.
````We start by exploring the social justice and occupational justice concepts to map a methodological path for the theoretically informed discussion. We continue by discussing the concept of collecive occupations as a possibility for intervention in the face of racial inequalitiies and introduce some occupational therapy practicies to exemplify strategies to tackle the identified challenges.
We conclude by showing that the field of ethnic-racial relations is still only minimally explored in Brazlian occupaional therapy. We also point out some possibilities for further studies in this area.

Introduction: Previous studies on bereavement have focused on the implications for bereaved individuals from behavioural and psycholoical perspectives. Limited literature discusses occupational therapists' perceived ability to treat bereaved individuals and how activities can be used to create new meaning to their lives.
Methods: A descriptive, qualitative design was employed in this study to elicit occupational therapists' perceived ability to treat and assist bereaved individuals find new meaning in their life. `Thirty-five occupational therapists were recruited, and nine participated in two focus groups. Data collected were thematically analysed.
Findings: Three themes emerged, namely: (1) activities used in occupational therapy creates opportunities for new meaning to life after loss of a loved one, (2) appropriate occupational therapists' helping skills and professional behaviour to assist and treat the bereaved, and (3) perceived barriers to positive outcomes in treating the bereaved.
Conclusion: Bereaved individuals often have impaired performance in occupations and emotional processing. The effects of bereavement were addressed using the appropriate occupational therapist helping skills and professional behaviour to guide holistic, occupation-based and client-centred treatment. Bereaved individuals were treated through purposeful activities, facilitation of therapeutic groups and self-mangement skills-training which seemed to create opportunities for new meaning in their lives. Occupational `therapists need to be cognisant of the barriers that negatively influence the positive outcomes of occupational therapy services.

Published: February 2025

Introductiion: The impacct of substancee-related and addictive disorders is a serious health problem affecting society. Occupational therapy intervention for people with substance-related disorder is ultamately directed at enhancing the quality of lif. `this article aims to present participants' experiences regarding their quality of life on their journey to sobriety.
Methods: A qualitative study, where an exploration of participants' perceptions and description thereof, was used to gain insight into participants' experiences of ther quality of life after discharge from a rehabilitation centre. Individual, semi0structured interviews were held to collect data from a purposive sample of 20 participants. `the interviews were based on the Schedule for the Evaluation of Individual Quality of Life. A Direct `Weighting Procedure for Quality of Life Domains (SEOQoL - DW). Dta collected were analysed using thematic content analysis.
Findings: Two themes, namely (1) "enablers to quality of life" and (2) "quality of life inhibitors" emerged from the interviews. `The participants described the enablers to quality of life as employment, education, support, parenting and leisure; while emotions experienced, family breakdown, harmful behaviours and socio-economic status were described as the inhibitors of quality of life/
Conclusion: Engagement in occpations is emportant for the substance user to enhance their quality of life. Occupation-based intervention is therefore crucial in enhancing quality of life, particularly in the life of a substance user whose lifelong journey to sobriety is challenged daily by the barriers they encounter.
Occupational Enablement through the Crosstrainer Programme: Experiences of early childhood development practitioners
Authors: Homan Adeleigh , Van Vuuren Santie , De Villiers Danette 
Published: February 2025

Introduction:
In rural South Africa, inadequately trained early childhood (ECD) practitioners and inequity of access have been placed as top priorities to address. Enabling occupation is the primary goal and core competency of occupational therapists and enabling the occupation of the ECD practitioners may address these problems. The Cross `Trainer Programme (CTP) aims to do this by training and equipping ECD practitioners. ECD practitioners were therefore approached on the occupational enablement through the CTP.
Method:
Demographic questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were utilised.Â The data was analysed through the cyclical process of coding.
Results:
Three major themes emerged from the data analysis, namely The Great Imbalance, Enabling Occupation, and Disabling Occupation. The participants expressed the difficulty of fulfilling the need for their role in their communities. The CTP relieves these difficulties and enables their occupation through more knowledge, confidence, creative alternatives to resources, and guidance in managing their time, incorporating all six enablement foundations. The CTP disables their occupation through the language barrier, unclear scaling of the activities, and insufficient involvement.
Conclusions:
The CTP enables the occupation of the ECD practitioners and the children. Through translating the programme, adding more activities, and increasing involvement and mentoring, the enablement through the CTP will improve.
Perspectives on the Minamata Convention and dental amalgam waste management in South Africa
Authors: Sudi Stephen M , Naidoo Sudeshni 
Published: February 2025

The Minamata Convention on Mercury (MCM), a pivotal multilateral agreement, is dedicated to controlling human sources of mercury environmental release. Due to their unique properties, mercury and its compounds were extensively used in products and industrial processes. Human activities have escalated atmospheric mercury levels by 450%, causing severe environmental and life-threatening consequences. The MCM focuses on restricting mercury mining, phasing out and phasing down mercury use in products and processes, controlling environmental emissions and regulating small scale gold mining. Dental amalgam restorative material is the only product subject to a phase-down approach through the prevention of dental caries, research for alternative restorative materials, and waste management practices. The increasing understanding of mercury’s health and environmental impacts has led to restricting dental amalgam use in pregnant women and children, phase-out in several countries, and cessation of the marketing of dental amalgam by some manufacturers. This perspective delves into the current approaches to managing dental amalgam waste and proposes improvements to dental amalgam waste management practices in South Africa.

: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a condition in which one or more of the female pelvic organs, such as the bladder, uterus, vaginal cuff, rectum, and intestine dip into the vagina. The muscles and tissues surrounding the uterus weakens resulting in uterine prolapse.: To study was done to describe the correlation of symptoms, risk factors and the quality of life with POP-Q in pelvic organ support defects in a tertiary care center in North Kerala.: This study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, KMCT Medical college, Kozhikode from June 1 2021 to May 30 2022 after clearance from ethical committee in which 140 cases of uterovaginal prolapse were included. : The proportion of patients with cystocele and rectocele was found to be gradually increasing across the stages of disease as per the POP-Q staging and the maximum proportion was seen in stage 4.Occupation, obesity, chronic constipation, chronic cough had no association with the severity of pelvic organ support defects The menopausal status of the study population didn’t have any significant association between POP -Q staging. When comparing socio-economic status with POP-Q staging it was found that there wasn’t any significant statistical association between them which indicates that the comparison was comparable. Stage 1 prolapse in the POP- Q needed only conservative management while all other stages required vaginal hysterectomy and pelvic floor repair (p &#60; 0.01).: Pelvic organ support defects such as cystocele and rectocele was found to be gradually increasing across the stages of disease as per the POP-Q staging and the maximum proportion was seen in stage 4. In stage 1, the quality of sexual life was not reported to be affected by the prolapse in any of the patients (p&#60;0.01), while stage 4 defects necessitated surgical treatment to improve the overall quality of life.

: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) poses significant challenges in modern obstetrics, with its prevalence notably high in India. Identifying the progression patterns of Doppler parameters in severe FGR pregnancies caused by placental insufficiency remains underexplored, particularly in the Indian context.: This prospective observational study, conducted at an Indian tertiary care hospital between 2020 and 2021, enrolled 40 pregnant women with severe FGR. Serial Doppler assessments were performed on maternal and fetal vessels, including umbilical artery (UA), middle cerebral artery (MCA), ductus venosus (DV), umbilical vein, and uterine artery. Patients were monitored until delivery, with perinatal outcomes assessed.: In our study, abnormalities in umbilical artery pulsatility index (UA PI) progressed gradually, with early-onset cases showing more rapid deterioration. Uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA PI) abnormalities persisted, especially in subjects with hypertensive disorders. Middle cerebral artery (MCA) abnormalities were universal at delivery, indicating brain sparing. Three patterns of Doppler deterioration based on placental insufficiency severity were observed: mild, progressive, and severe early-onset. Statistically significant differences (ANOVA P &#60; 0.0001) were found in the median intervals from abnormal Doppler parameters to delivery.: Understanding the longitudinal progression of Doppler abnormalities in severe FGR pregnancies is crucial for optimizing perinatal outcomes. Early detection and monitoring of Doppler parameters can guide timely interventions and improve management strategies for FGR. Further research is warranted to validate these findings and explore their clinical implications fully.

Eclampsia, a severe complication of preeclampsia, remains a significant cause of maternal and perinatal mortality, especially in low-resource settings. Characterized by convulsive seizures, eclampsia can lead to severe maternal complications such as HELLP syndrome, placental abruption, and postpartum hemorrhage, as well as adverse neonatal outcomes like prematurity, low birth weight, and neonatal death. This study aimed to assess the risk factors, treatment strategies, and maternal-fetal outcomes associated with eclampsia in a tertiary care setting. A retrospective study was conducted at Sapthagiri Hospital in Bengaluru, India, covering cases from January 2021 to June 2024. Data were collected from medical records of pregnant women diagnosed with eclampsia. Variables analyzed included maternal age, BMI, parity, gestational age, blood pressure, proteinuria, and seizure activity. Outcomes were analyzed using SPSS, focusing on maternal complications and neonatal outcomes.Among 5,403 deliveries, 34 (0.62%) cases of eclampsia were identified. The majority of patients were aged 24-29 years (52.9%) and had a normal BMI (70.6%). Primiparous women constituted 64.7% of the cases. Severe maternal complications included postpartum hemorrhage (70.6%), partial HELLP syndrome (32.4%), and placental abruption (47.1%), with a maternal mortality rate of 2.9%. Neonatal outcomes were concerning, with 62.9% of infants born preterm, 64.9% with low birth weight, and a perinatal mortality rate of 10.8%. Cesarean sections were performed in 85.3% of cases, highlighting the need for rapid intervention.Eclampsia predominantly affected young, primiparous women with normal BMI, leading to significant maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. The findings underscore the importance of early identification and management of eclampsia to improve maternal and neonatal outcomes. Vigilant monitoring and timely intervention, including the use of magnesium sulfate and antihypertensives, are critical in mitigating the severe impacts of this condition.

Authors: Basu Abhijit , Joshi Piyush , Sharma Asha 
Published: February 2025

To compare thyroid profile in pre- eclamptic patients and normal normotensive pregnant women in between gestational age of 28-40 weeks of pregnancy. This case control study was done from Dec. 2015 to June 2017 in Geetanjali Medical College & Hospital, Udaipur. It was done on 50 patients of preeclampsia (case group) and 50 normal pregnant women (control group) in between gestational age of 28-40 weeks of pregnancy. Mean T 3 between case and control group was not statistically significant with p value = 0.844. Mean T 4 between case and control group was statistically significant with p value = 0.011. Mean TSH between case and control group was statistically significant with p value = 0.00068. Prevalence of hypothyroidism in patients of preeclampsia was 44% as compared to 16% in control group and p value was 0.00225, which was statistically significant. If the titers of TSH were above 4.04 μIU/ml in between gestational age of 28-40 weeks of pregnancy then there was 4 times higher risk of the development of preeclampsia. Present study suggested that pathogenesis of preeclampsia is related to primary hypo-functioning of the thyroid. Severity of preeclampsia correlated with modest decreases in thyroid hormones along with increased TSH level.

:Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) is defined as the spontaneous rupture of membranes before the onset of labor. It is associated with various adverse outcomes including maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Chorio-amnionitis, placental abruption, post-partum hemorrhage, puerperal sepsis, oligohydramnios, cord prolapse, fetal distress, intra-uterine death, perinatal infections are some of the complications associated with it. To evaluate the feto-maternal outcome in PROM. It was a prospective cohort study conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Imphal, Manipur for one and half years from January, 2021 to June, 2022. A total of 170 pregnant women were included in the study- 85 women with PROM and 85 without PROM. Inclusion criteria includes gestational age of at least 37 completed weeks, lack of uterine contractions for at least one hour after PROM, cervical dilatation less than 3 cm, single live pregnancy in vertex presentation, and PROM confirmed by direct visualization under speculum examination. Exclusion criteria includes mal-presentation, multiple gestation, meconium stained liquor, cephalo-pelvic disproportion. Respiratory distress syndrome was found to be more in babies born to women with PROM, as compared to the babies born to women without PROM, with a relative risk of 1.5. There was no statistically significant association of PROM with neonatal sepsis, NICU admission of new-borns, APGAR score of babies, chorio-amnionitis, or puerperal sepsis. This prospective study was carried out to suggest some strategies for proper screening of high-risk cases, correct diagnosis and effective management and thus improvement of maternal and neonatal outcome. Although early diagnosis and proper management can be helpful in decreasing prenatal morbidities in cases of PROM, more randomized controlled trials involving larger sample size is required to draw further conclusions.

To study the clinical profile and outcome of thrombocytopenia in pregnancy.To study the etiologies of thrombocytopenia in pregnancy. To study the maternal and perinatal outcome in thrombocytopenia in pregnancy.This is an observational retrospective study in which 200 pregnant women who had thrombocytopenia were recruited from department of obstetrics and gynecology at Gandhi hospital.The present study gives information about the etiology of thrombocytopenia in pregnancy and fetomaternal outcome. Out of 200 cases, 88 cases belongs to pregnancy induced hypertension which is considered as the most common etiology followed by gestational thrombocytopenia. Incidence of abruption was significantly high mainly in pregnancy induced hypertensive cases. The maternal and perinatal complications were lower in gestational thrombocytopenia compared with other etiologies. High rates of preterm deliveries were observed among women with hypertensive disorders. Adverse perinatal outcome was mostly associated with hypertensive disorders especially HELLP syndrome.The common cause of thrombocytopenia in pregnancy in this study is mainly hypertensive disorders. Patients with gestational thrombocytopenia have favorable maternal and perinatal outcome. On the other hand, preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome are associated with adverse perinatal outcome like IUGR and intrauterine fetal death.
