Locating Leadership and Political Will in Social Policy: The Story of India’s MGNREGA
Creators: name: Ujjwal Krishna

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The term ‘political will’ is often conveniently used to explain the success or failure of any policy or programme. It has emerged as the “sine qua non of policy success which is never defined except by its absence” (Hammergren, 1998, p. 12). Therefore, a structured examination of the term is necessary to analyse social policy and programming. The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), enacted by India’s United Progressive Alliance government in 2005, offers a compelling case to examine the role of ‘political will’ in the formulation of a major programme. The evolution of the MGNREGA, which has been described by the World Bank as the largest antipoverty state-run employment-generation scheme anywhere in the world (Dutta, Murgai, Ravallion, & van de Walle, 2014), depended significantly on leadership and political commitment in the legislature and the executive, as well as their coordination and substantive engagement with civil society, represented through non-governmental organisations and activists. We explore the complex power relations between the diverse range of actors involved in the MGNREGA, and gauge the role of leadership and political will in the formulation of the MGNREGA, as carried out by the United Progressive Alliance government between 2005 and 2014, in contrast to the manner in which it was reframed and retained by its successor dispensation, the National Democratic Alliance from 2014 onwards. We then examine the MGNREGA, utilising a framework which expands our understanding of political will as being contingent upon leadership at the individual, collective and societal levels (Hudson, Mcloughlin, Roche, & Marquette, 2018), thereby providing us with greater explanatory power.

description: Eco-feedback has become one of the most popular behavioural interventions for promoting household water and energy conservation. Since its inception, it has been adopted by various companies and governments around the world as one path to addressing climate change. Due to its ubiquity, eco-feedback interventions have been designed in various ways, potentially leading to heterogeneity in its treatment effects. This thesis investigates the different components of eco-feedback interventions, and how these can moderate its treatment effects Through four field experiments, I study the moderating effects of duration, frequency, medium, and to an extent, content of eco-feedback interventions. I find that 1) eco-feedback is effective at reducing household water/energy consumption across various contexts, achieving between 1-2% reduction in consumption, 2) the effects of the treatment attenuates over time once the treatment has ceased, 3) the medium by which the feedback is delivered is critical to its effectiveness, 4) delivering feedback for both water and energy at the same time may have a negative effects, and 5) the treatment effects are heterogeneous, mostly based on a household’s baseline consumption. Insights from this thesis should help inform the design of future eco-feedback interventions to better maximise its effects in the most cost effective manner.

description: The document-centric workflows in science have reached (or already exceeded) the limits of adequacy. This is emphasized by recent discussions on the increasing proliferation of scientific literature and the reproducibility crisis. This presents an opportunity to rethink the dominant paradigm of document-centric scholarly information communication and transform it into knowledge-based information flows by representing and expressing information through semantically rich, interlinked knowledge graphs. At the core of knowledge-based information flows is the creation and evolution of information models that establish a common understanding of information communicated between stakeholders as well as the integration of these technologies into the infrastructure and processes of search and information exchange in the research library of the future. By integrating these models into existing and new research infrastructure services, the information structures that are currently still implicit and deeply hidden in documents can be made explicit and directly usable. This has the potential to revolutionize scientific work as information and research results can be seamlessly interlinked with each other and better matched to complex information needs. Furthermore, research results become directly comparable and easier to reuse. As our main contribution, we propose the vision of a knowledge graph for science, present a possible infrastructure for such a knowledge graph as well as our early attempts towards an implementation of the infrastructure.

description: This article examines the urbanization of Tibet. We argue that urbanization is a new technique of colonial governance for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), and is characterized by what Yen Le Espiritu calls ‘differential inclusion’: a form of forcible incorporation resulting in particular spaces and populations being ‘deemed integral to the nation … only or precisely because of their designated subordinate standing’. We explore how urbanization achieves the differential inclusion of Tibet and Tibetans through three distinct processes: segregation (the separation of Tibetan and Han Chinese spaces), congregation (the creation of Tibetan-dominated towns) and negation (urbanization as an administrative process that undermines Tibetan political autonomy). We argue that these three processes form an integrated strategy of colonial governance aimed at achieving differential inclusion. We conclude by arguing that our case study of the urbanization of Tibet offers a model for thinking about the role urbanization plays in enforcing differential inclusion as a means of colonial governance elsewhere in the PRC, and beyond.

We find significant differences in the constituents of the SCI universe and performance across SSMs. Our results demonstrate consistent evidence that the debt and purification ratios are negatively associated with SCI performance. However, we find mixed results for the impact of liquidity ratios on performance.

description: Background Comprehensive data on gender and sexual identity is critical for the planning and delivery of health, education, and social support services. This paper examines ways in which sexual and gender diverse populations are being counted in research, with a view to informing discussions about how to represent these populations in future research. Aims To examine approaches used for the collection of data from sexual and gender diverse populations in Australia. Data and methods We reviewed nine examples of large national surveys conducted in Australia over the past ten years and compared the approaches used for collecting data on gender and sexual identity. Results A diversity of approaches and a range of limitations were identified in how these diverse populations are counted. The proportions of survey respondents across sex, gender and sexual identity categories, and the types of categories, were also found to vary across studies. Conclusions There is currently no consistent approach for collecting data involving sexual and gender diverse populations in Australia despite the need for large-scale surveys that reflect sexual and gender diversity. This paper identifies conceptual and methodological questions for consideration when planning how to capture diversity related to gender and sexual identity.

description: © 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. One of the considerable challenges in the design of cementitious mixtures for additive manufacturing/three-dimensional (3D) printing applications is achieving both suitable fresh properties and significant mechanical strengths. This paper presents the use of graphene oxide (GO) as a promising nano reinforcement material with the potential to improve the printing feasibility and quality of a 3D printed cementitious matrix. Additionally, in this study, a viscosity modifying agent (VMA) was employed as a chemical additive to attain the required consistency and flow. The printed mixture was fabricated using various cementitious materials and waste materials. This study investigated the impact of GO and VMA on the enhancement of the 3D printing of cementitious composites through several tests. A flow test was conducted using the flow table test. The results showed a high fluidity and practical consistency, which are essential for nozzle pumping and accurateness in printed shapes. Furthermore, the bleeding test showed minimal bleeding up to hardening, and a considerable self-cleaning ability was noted during handling when conducting examinations of fresh properties. For hardened properties, the mechanical strengths were exceptionally high, especially at early ages, which is crucial for the stability of sequence layers of printed composites. The tensile strengths were 3.77, 10.5, 13.35, and 18.83 MPa at 1, 3, 7, and 28 days, respectively, and the compressive strengths were 25.1, 68.4, 85.6, and 125.4 MPa at 1, 3, 7, and 28 days, respectively. The test results showed the effectiveness of the fabricated cementitious mixture design method for meeting the requirements for 3D concrete printing applications.

description: Abstract Anxiety disorders involve distorted perception of the world including increased saliency of stress-associated cues. However, plasticity in the initial sensory regions of the brain following a fearful experience has never been examined. The cochlear nucleus (CN) is the first station in the central auditory system, with heterogeneous collections of neurons that not only project to but also receive projections from cortico-limbic regions, suggesting a potential for experience-dependent plasticity. Using wireless neural recordings in freely behaving rats, we demonstrate for the first time that neural gain in the CN is significantly altered by fear conditioning to auditory sequences. Specifically, the ventral subnuclei significantly increased firing rate to the conditioned tone sequence, while the dorsal subnuclei significantly decreased firing rate during the conditioning session overall. These findings suggest subregion-specific changes in the balance of inhibition and excitation in the CN as a result of conditioning experience. Heart rate was measured as the conditioned response (CR), which showed that while pre-conditioned stimulus (CS) responding did not change across baseline and conditioning sessions, significant changes in heart rate were observed to the tone sequence followed by shock. Heart-rate findings support acquisition of conditioned fear. Taken together, the present study presents first evidence for potential experience-dependent changes in auditory perception that involve novel plasticity within the first site of processing auditory information in the brain.

description: Norovirus causes an estimated 699 million cases of gastroenteritis and 219,000 deaths each year. Historically, novel strains with a genogroup II genotype 4 (GII.4) capsid have emerged every 3–5 years to cause gastroenteritis pandemics. Contrary to historical trends, viruses with aGII.4 Sydney 2012 capsid have extended the timeframe of capsid circulation, well beyond the usual 3–5 years, through genetic recombination to obtain new non-structural regions, for example, a GII.P16 ORF1. The molecular evolution in the GII.4 capsid of strains in New South Wales (NSW), Australia and New Zealand (NZ) before and into the COVID-19 pandemic (2018–20) was investigated by sequencing noroviruses from clinical specimens and wastewater. A continued high prevalence of GII.4 Sydney 2012 [P16] was observed (NSW: 23.0%; NZ: 24.2%), albeit co-dominant with GII.2 [P16] (NSW: 20.2%; NZ: 29.4%). Unlike the historical trends, the GII.4 Sydney 2012 capsid has been in circulation for eight years. Circulating norovirus in the community was disrupted by COVID-19 control measures; lockdowns reduced viral concentration in wastewater by >90% (1.4 × 105 genome copies (gc)/L) from May to September 2020 compared to equivalent timeframes in 2018 (1.6 × 106gc/L) and 2019 (1.9 × 106gc/L). The relaxation of lockdown measures in late-2020 coincided with a strong resurgence of GII.2[P16] prevalence both clinically and in wastewater in NSW and Melbourne, accompanied by a decline in the diversity of circulating noroviruses. Conclusion: In summary, COVID-19 disrupted the strain diversity and levels of norovirus in Australia and New Zealand.

description: © 2020, The Author(s). Background: First metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint osteoarthritis (OA) is a painful and debilitating condition affecting nearly one in 10 people aged over 50 years. Non-drug, non-surgical treatments are recommended by OA clinical guidelines, yet there have only ever been two randomised controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating such strategies in people with first MTP joint OA. Foot orthoses are a common non-drug, non-surgical strategy used by allied health professionals for people with first MTP joint OA, however, it is unknown whether these devices are effective in improving the symptoms associated with the condition. This clinical trial aimed to determine whether contoured foot orthoses lead to greater reductions in first MTP joint pain on walking compared to sham flat insoles in people with first MTP joint OA. Methods: The FORT trial (Foot ORthoses for big Toe joint osteoarthritis) is a two-arm participant- and assessor-blinded, multi-site RCT conducted in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast, Australia. We are recruiting 88 community-dwelling people with symptomatic radiographic first MTP joint OA. Following baseline assessment, participants are randomized to receive either: i) contoured foot orthoses; or ii) sham flat insoles following baseline assessment. Participants have two visits with a study podiatrist where they are provided with their allocated insoles, to be worn daily for 12 weeks at all times when wearing shoes. The primary outcome is self-reported first MTP joint pain on walking (numerical rating scale), assessed at baseline and 12 weeks. Secondary outcomes include additional measures of first MTP joint and foot pain, physical function, quality of life, participant-perceived global ratings of change (pain and function), and level of physical activity. Discussion: This study will provide novel evidence about whether contoured foot orthoses improve pain and other symptoms compared to sham insoles in people with first MTP joint OA. Outcomes will help to inform clinical guidelines and practice about the use of foot orthoses for managing symptoms in this under-researched group of people with OA. Trial registration: Prospectively registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (reference: ACTRN12619000926134) on 3/07/2019.
The ebb and flow of ‘eve-teasing’ in the news front page coverage of street harassment of women in Bangladesh

description: © 2020, Pacific Media Centre, Auckland University of Technology. All rights reserved. Eve-teasing is a euphemism for street-based sexual harassment, which is a widespread issue across Bangladesh affecting the emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing of Bangladeshi women. The media can play a vital role by covering news and raising awareness of eve-teasing. Historically, the headlines in Bangladesh focused on more overt forms of gender violence—rape, murder, acid attacks—framing eve-teasing as a mere nuisance, a fact of life in the country. How the media portrays eve-teasing in Bangladesh is a subject about which there is currently very little research. This content analysis of the two main national newspapers in Bangladesh assesses how the media reported street-based sexual harassment over the course of a seminal year—2010. It was during this year that the government of Bangladesh enacted the Family Violence Prevention and Protection Act in acknowledgement of the prevalence and seriousness of gender violence in the country. Similar acts had been passed by the governments of nearby countries India and Sri Lanka in 2005, and Nepal in 2008 (Fardosh, 2013). This study looks at how Bangladeshi newspapers covered ‘eve-teasing’ prominently (as front-page news), in a year when it was acknowledged as a serious issue, through the passing of a law by the Bangladeshi government.

description: The mechanisms underlying rootzone-localized responses to salinity during early stages of barley development remain elusive. In this study, we performed the analyses of multi-root-omes (transcriptomes, metabolomes, and lipidomes) of a domesticated barley cultivar (Clipper) and a landrace (Sahara) that maintain and restrict seedling root growth under salt stress, respectively. Novel generalized linear models were designed to determine differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and abundant metabolites (DAMs) specific to salt treatments, genotypes, or rootzones (meristematic Z1, elongation Z2, and maturation Z3). Based on pathway over-representation of the DEGs and DAMs, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis is the most statistically enriched biological pathway among all salinity responses observed. Together with histological evidence, an intense salt-induced lignin impregnation was found only at stelic cell wall of Clipper Z2, compared with a unique elevation of suberin deposition across Sahara Z2. This suggests two differential salt-induced modulations of apoplastic flow between the genotypes. Based on the global correlation network of the DEGs and DAMs, callose deposition that potentially adjusted symplastic flow in roots was almost independent of salinity in rootzones of Clipper, and was markedly decreased in Sahara. Taken together, we propose two distinctive salt tolerance mechanisms in Clipper (growth-sustaining) and Sahara (salt-shielding), providing important clues for improving crop plasticity to cope with deteriorating global soil salinization.

description: Pet-owner co-sleeping is increasingly common in some parts of the world. Adult owners often subjectively report benefits of co-sleeping with pets, although objective actigraphy reports conversely indicate sleep disruptions due to the pet. Because limited research is available regarding pet-owner co-sleeping in non-adult samples, the aim of this two-part study was to explore whether co-sleeping improves sleep quality in adolescents, an age group in which poor sleep patterns are well documented. In Study One, an online survey with 265 pet-owning 13-to-17-year-old participants found that over 78% co-slept with their pet. Average sleep quality scores for co-sleepers and non-co-sleepers indicated generally poor sleep, with no differences in sleep quality depending on age, gender, or co-sleeping status. Study Two consisted of two preliminary case studies, using actigraphy on dog-adolescent co-sleepers. In both cases, high sleep concordance was observed, but owners again experienced generally poor sleep quality. Future actigraphy research is needed, including larger sample sizes and a control group of non-co-sleepers, to validate the preliminary findings from this study, but our limited evidence suggests that co-sleeping with a pet may not impact sleep quality in adolescents.

description: Phytochemical study of Gazania rigens whole plant led to isolation and structural characterisation of six known compounds including lupeol (1), lupenone (2), β-sitosterol 3-O-β-glucopyranoside (3), dunalianoside D (4), 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (5), and tachioside (6). Compounds (1–4, and 6) were isolated for the first time. The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated using different spectroscopic analyses such as 1H,13C, and DEPT NMR analyses, besides HR-ESI-MS analysis. The isolated compounds and fractions were screened for in vitro antimicrobial activity against various bacterial and fungal strains. Only lupeol (1) exhibited a moderate antibacterial activity against K. pneumoniae with IC50 value of 19.05 µg/mL. The cytotoxic potential of the total ethanol extract and its derived fractions of G. rigens was evaluated against the MDA-MB-468 TNBC cell line using MTT assay. The petroleum ether, EtOAc and n-BuOH fractions exhibited a moderate inhibitory action with IC50 values of 22.42 ± 0.63, 25.55 ± 1.53, and 28.07 ± 0.63, respectively.

description: Primary objective: In this research we set out to gain further understanding of the experiences of students participating in secondary and tertiary education following TBI: exploring academic and non-academic factors, as well as changes in experiences over time. Methods and procedures: A longitudinal, qualitative investigation was completed. 12 students (17–32 years) completed up to three in-depth interviews over a period of 4–15 months, capturing atotal of 30 time points. Data were analyzed using grounded theory methods. Main outcomes and results: Students’ participation experiences were unique and varied with different timelines and outcomes, however they shared many similar critical points. We interpreted their experiences as a student journey traveling through four significant landscapes, “Choosing to study”, “Studying”, “Deciding what to do”, “Making the next step.” Journeys involved complex processes of living and learning. Moving along the pathway was not always smooth or straightforward. Conclusions: Students’ experiences of returning to study following TBI can be interpreted as a complex journey of living and learning. Four important stages of the journey provide clinicians and educators with landscape features that can provide a structure for exploring supports to address both academic and non-academic factors to assist students in their study journey.

description: [An exploratory research in Marche Region. Cyberbullies or digital naive?] This article is focused on the growing phenomenon of cyberbullying. It is based on data collected through an exploratory research that initially planned analysis of the judgments of the Juvenile Court in comparison with the data collected by the Postal Police and then included eleven primary and secondary schools. The research reveals that in the face of a limited number of cases of cyberbullying, questions about the use of the web by children does not provide a formalization of shared rules, both as prevention of digital bullying that as promotion of capacity of children in the use of digital tools.

description: Cancer cells secrete membranous extracellular vesicles (EVs) which contain specific oncogenic molecular cargo (including oncoproteins, oncopeptides, and RNA) into their microenvironment and the circulation. As such, EVs including exosomes (small EVs) and microvesicles (large EVs) represent important circulating biomarkers for various diseases, including cancer and its progression. These circulating biomarkers offer a potentially minimally invasive and repeatable targets for analysis (liquid biopsy) that could aid in the diagnosis, risk stratification, and monitoring of cancer. Although their potential as cancer biomarkers has been promising, the identification and quantification of EVs in clinical samples remain challenging. Like EVs, other types of circulating biomarkers (including cell-free nucleic acids, cf-NAs; or circulating tumor cells, CTCs) may represent a complementary or alternative approach to cancer diagnosis. In the context of multiple myeloma (MM), a systemic cancer type that causes cancer cells to accumulate in the bone marrow, the specific role for EVs as biomarkers for diagnosis and monitoring remains undefined. Tumor heterogeneity along with the various subtypes of MM (such as non-secretory MM) that cannot be monitored using conventional testing (e.g. sequential serological testing and bone marrow biopsies) render liquid biopsy and circulating tumor-derived EVs a promising approach. In this protocol, we describe the isolation and purification of EVs from peripheral blood plasma (PBPL) collected from healthy donors and patients with MM for a biomarker discovery strategy. Our results demonstrate detection of circulating EVs from as little as 1 mL of MM patients' PBPL. High-resolution mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics promises to provide new avenues in identifying novel markers for detection, monitoring, and therapeutic intervention of disease. We describe biophysical characterization and quantitative proteomic profiling of disease-specific circulating EVs which may provide important implications for the development of cancer diagnostics in MM.

description: Die vom Menschen verursachten Umweltkrisen zeigen sich auch in den Meeren immer deutlicher und sichtbarer. Insbesondere die Natur- und Technikwissenschaften haben durch groß angelegte Forschungsinitiativen dazu beigetragen, das gesellschaftliche Bewusstsein für den bedrohten Zustand der Meere und Küsten zu schärfen. Die bisherigen Ergebnisse und Empfehlungen haben jedoch noch nicht zu einem wirksamen gesellschaftlichen Handeln geführt. Hierfür ist ein besseres Verständnis der Wechselwirkungen zwischen gesellschaftlichen und naturbasierten Prozessen erforderlich. Um diese Wechselwirkungen zu erfassen, muss die Zusammenarbeit zwischen den großen Disziplinengruppen der Natur- und Technikwissenschaften einerseits und den Sozial- und Kulturwissenschaften andererseits deutlich intensiviert und professionalisiert werden. Diese Zusammenarbeit benötigt strukturelle Förderung und eine strategisch tragfähige Implementierung in Forschung und Ausbildung. Vor dem Hintergrund der laufenden UN-Ozeandekade (2021–2030) stellt dieses Positionspapier fünf Entwicklungsbereiche für eine zukünftige interdisziplinäre Meeresforschung vor und zur Diskussion: 1. Herstellung von Anschlussfähigkeit zwischen den akademischen Wissenschaftskulturen; 2. Reformen in der Ausbildung zur Professionalisierung der interdisziplinären Forschung und Lehre; 3. Reformen der Meeresforschungsorganisationen; 4. Anpassung der Projektförderung und Projektorganisation und 5. Strukturelle Öffnung in die Gesellschaft. Zusammenfassend stellen wir fest: Interdisziplinäre Forschung braucht neben der Expertise der einzelnen Disziplinen eine Reflexion der verschiedenen Wissenschaftskulturen, um Bedingungen und Potentiale der Zusammenarbeit zu erkennen. Interdisziplinäre Kollaboration entsteht dann durch einen lösungsorientierten Blick auf gemeinsam definierte Problemlagen, so dass Lösungsansätze sowohl auf Natur- als auch auf Gesellschaftswissen gründen können. Dies kann durch die Ausrichtung von Förderzielen auf Handlungswissen, sowie durch die Berücksichtigung interdisziplinärer Bedarfe auf operationeller Ebene (Vernetzung- und Findungsphasen möglicher Partner) befördert werden. Der Aufbau interdisziplinärer Exzellenz benötigt darüber hinaus einen Entwicklungspfad für eine interdisziplinäre wissenschaftlichen Ausbildung, die auch Grundlage für transdisziplinäre und außerakademische Laufbahnen wäre, sowie die Etablierung interdisziplinärer Bewertungsmechanismen in den verschiedenen Evaluierungsgremien, welche multidisziplinär zusammengesetzt und mit interdisziplinärer Expertise ausgestattet sein sollten. Gleichzeitig braucht es einen Ausbau interdisziplinärer Kompetenz in den einzelnen Forschungsinstitutionen, der auch dazu beiträgt, die transdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit mit außerakademischen Akteur:innen strukturiert auszubauen.

description: AbstractLate Medieval anti-Jewish violence is a well-known phenomenon, but its origins and institutionalization are still blurred and enigmatic. In thirteenth and fourteenth century Catalonia, the denouement of the increasing popular hostility against the Jewry was particularly dramatic. The seeds of violence were the result of a long and complex process of social, theological and political interactions. In this contribution, we will discuss the intellectual matrix of medieval anti-Semitism in Catalonia and its relationship with the rising of scholastics and with the theoretical foundations of Catalan politics. We will also approach its counterpart: the Jewish response to collective suffering.

description: © Copyright © 2020 Karimi, Sales, Crewther and Wijeratne. Coronaviruses (CoVs) are enveloped RNA viruses and have been shown to cause mild to severe respiratory infections in humans, with some severe cases inducing neurological manifestations. The lethality and Neurological effects of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV), Middle-East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV), and recently the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have been well documented though currently there is little literature regarding long term effects and the implications for neurorehabilitation. SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV have been linked to the infection associated inflammatory cytokine storms and induced hypercoagulopathic states that affect the entire vascular system including that of the brain. This mini-review provides an overview of the commonalities among studies published on all three types of the coronavirus related to acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The aim was to elucidate the physiological mechanisms underpinning COVID-2 and to reflect the similarities with the chronic inflammation induced symptoms of AIS that are likely to prove a further challenge for neurorehabilitation clinicians post COVID. In terms of increased incidence of COVID and AIS, it is likely that in depth knowledge of increased thrombotic risk in this population will require appropriate anticoagulation treatment, and other therapeutic interventions as well as neurorehabilitation interventions. Lastly the risk of spreading the virus requires further balancing of the provision of neurorehabiliatation services useful to the patient.
