Abstract:
Background:There is limited evidence regarding the impact of the Mediterranean Diet (Med Diet) on autoimmune diseases although it has been proposed that adherence to the Med Diet may decrease the risk of certain autoimmune diseases. However, the potential usefulness of the Med Diet as a high-quality dietary pattern for other autoimmune diseases such as SLE has not yet been investigated.Objectives:The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential association between the adherence to the Med Diet and disease activity, damage accrual and SLE-related clinical markers in a large cohort of women with SLE.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, we assessed Med Diet adherence through a 14-item questionnaire in 253 women with SLE (mean age 46.74 ± 12.70 years). The SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI-2K) and the SDI Damage Index were used to asses disease activity and disease-related damage, respectively. Levels of C-reactive protein (CRP; mg/dL), homocysteine (Hcy; mol/L), anti-double stranded DNA antibodies (anti-dsDNA) (IU/mL), complement C3 (mg/dL), and complement C4 (mg/dL) were determined.Results:The Med Diet adherence score was classified as follows: low adherence (≤ 5 points); medium adherence (6–9 points) and good adherence (≥ 10 points). Only 50.2% of the SLE women had good adherence to the Med Diet. The ANCOVA models showed significant differences between patients with good adherence to the Med Diet and those with medium and low adherence in SLEDAI (p ≤ 0.001) and SDI (p ≤ 0.001). Age, medical treatment (immunosuppressors, corticoids, or antimalarials), smoking status, and body mass index (BMI) were included as confounding factors. The odds ratio (OR) for having active SLE (SLEDAI ≥ 5) or the presence of damage (SDI ≥ 1) was lower among patients whose Med Diet score was higher (p ≤ 0.001).Conclusion:Adherence to the Med Diet influences disease activity and damage accrual in SLE women. Thus, these patients would benefit from nutritional counselling and education on modification, to help adapt their lifestyles towards the Med Diet pattern. This would help slow the progression of SLE and the damage it causes.References:[1]Sedaghat F, Jessri M, Behrooz M, Mirghotbi M, Rashidkhani B.

Abstract:
Herbal medicine and their preparations from plants, herbs, and animals both in parts and whole forms have been used since the early days of humankind and are still used throughout the world for health promotion and treatment of disease. The study identified the usefulness of Entrepreneurial Women Indigenous Herb Sellers (EWIHSs) in health care delivery system in Nigeria. It also identified the nature, classification and categorization of EWIHSs at Bode/Ibuko Market, Oyo State, Nigeria and it consequently, examined the groups that have knowledge of treatment of human illnesses and diseases. The study was conducted using both primary and secondary data. The primary data was collected through observation and oral interview of 18 EWIHSs at the Bode/Ibuko herbal market in Ibadan, Oyo state. The study utilized thematic analysis for the qualitative data collected. The study identified two major classifications of EWIHSs (Herbs and roots sellers’ category and those that deal with sales of animals in whole form and parts such as Lion heads, Chameleon, bats, monkeys, owls, vulture and so on) which was noted to be sub-divided into five categories of EWIHSs as follows: (i) Those that sell both plants and animals parts and in whole form whether dead or alive; (ii) those that sell purely plants parts or in whole form, (iii) those that sell purely animal parts or in whole form and (iv) those that sell mineral materials dug from the ground such as camphor, kafura (Naphthalene), Kanafuru (Clove) and so forth and finally (v) those that sell the combinations of one to four (i to iv) above. Others that were attached to EWIHSs in terms of providing herbal materials for the public sales are being called different names such as: Iya Oko (Village women); Oni Taba Juku (snuff sellers or powdered tobacco); Oni Iyere (Black pepper sellers), and Alubosa Ayu (Allium sativum - Garlic); Oni Poroporo (Solanum aviculare sellers), Bara (Bitter melon); Isude; Baka, Epa ikun (belongs to the family Solanaceae) and finally Oni Yari (indigenous comb sellers - the women in this category sell indigenous combs, mirrors and so on). All of them together with EWIHSs are being called different names such as Lekuleja, Alagbo Omo, Oniwosiwosi, Alate, Elewe Omo and so forth. It was observed from the study that not all these categories of EWIHSs have the knowledge of treatment in terms of combination of materials for treatment of human illnesses and diseases, as a result public need to be cautious as regards receiving prescription and treatment from them. This is a dangerous development that may have adverse consequences on the unsuspecting customers who may not be able to distinguish between sellers or healers. The study recommended that public need to be cautious on who is to approach when they go for indigenous herbal treatment. It is suggested that the intending customers of EWIHSs must first see guidance from officers of the herbal sellers especially the secretary or the president in the herbal market. Finally, Policy implications include the need for government to improve the knowledge of the sellers in health care and also encourage the sellers through improved access to loan so as to enable the sellers contribute positively to the broader health objectives of Nigerian society.

Abstract:
Most of Moslem societies define the role of woman in the purely domestic sector. Some people consider that Islam stands against women’s role in public sectors believing that it has roots in the context of the prophet’s time. This work shows that there is no prohibitation for woman to take parts in the public and social affairs including in the area of political role. It was the case that some women companions of the prophet participated in the political role including Aisyah the wife of Nabi Saw, Asma binti Abu Bakar, Ummu Athiyah, Ummu Hani’ and Rubayyi’ bint Mu’awidz. In this paper, the writer focuses on woman companion hadith transmitters who are directly wrapped up in the missionary work with the prophet. In addition, this paper also shows the relation between woman companion transmitter activities and their hadith transmission, under assumption that the role of woman would influence the texts of the transmitted hadiths. It is because, as a text, hadith was transmitted in the certain context and condition. Accordingly, every transmitter had different hadith transmission based on her context, status, profession, and even gender construction. Therefore, this paper discusses the woman companion transmitters who play their role in the field of politics and also their influence in their transmitted hadiths

Abstract:
Background. A pregnancy is described unintended if it is either unwanted or mistimed. The former occurs when no child or no more children are desired, and the latter is when the conception occurs earlier than the desired time, but wanted later. Unwanted pregnancy causes a serious health, economic, and social problem to the woman and her family. In the study area, there is limited data on unintended pregnancy. Therefore, this study fills this gap by studying the magnitude of unintended pregnancy and its associated factors among pregnant women attending antenatal care in the study area. Methods. A facility-based cross-sectional study was done from 1 March to 1 April 2019, among 612 randomly selected pregnant women attending antenatal care at Bako Tibe district public health facility. The data were collected via interview using a structured and pretested questionnaire. They were entered into EpiData Version 3.1 and SPSS Version 23 for cleaning and analyses. The variables, which were significant at P≤0.2 in the bivariate logistic regression, were included in the multivariable analysis. The direction and strength of statistical association were measured by an odds ratio with 95% CI. A variable with a P value < 0.05 was considered a significantly associated factor with the outcome one. Results. In this study, the prevalence of unintended pregnancy was 33.3%, at 95% CI (29.8, 37.3). The factors that had significant association with unintended pregnancy were family size≥6 (AOR=8.0, 95% CI: 1.38–46.66), women who did not communicate about family planning with their husbands (AOR=2.8, 95% CI: 1.50–5.20), and parity≥5 (AOR=3.0, 95% CI: 1.34–6.8). Conclusion. About one-third of the pregnant women reported that their pregnancy was unintended. Parity, family size, and lack of spousal communication showed a significant association with the problem. To decrease the current level of unintended pregnancy in the area, the Bako Tibe District Health Bureau and the health workers should work harder to scale up spousal communication on family planning.

Subject area Social Entrepreneurship. Study level/applicability This case study can be used on the module on introduction to social entrepreneurship for postgraduate students specializing in Social Entrepreneurship or Social Work. Case overview This case explores the difference between social entrepreneurship and idealism. It captures the journey of Charlene Vaz and Kavita Gonsalves, two passionate young women, who formed “The Bake Collective” (TBC). Kavita and Charlene are both full-time employees, who spend their weekends and evenings running TBC and through bake sells raise funds for supporting social causes. The women have been able to get a teacher hired for differently abled children, provide water purifiers to victims of the Nepal earthquake, furnish a classroom in a school for less privileged children and provide teaching material for schools in over 400 villages in the State of Maharashtra in India. The case highlights the power of volunteering for a cause that can result in developing a social enterprise. It helps to unfold the steps undertaken to kick-start the cause as well as the risks involved in the start-up stage. It also discusses the measures that can be taken to mitigate the risks in the start-up phase and the ways by which social entrepreneurs can scale and grow their programme. Expected learning outcomes From this case, students will learn about the factors that lead to the germination of a social enterprise and identify characteristics of social entrepreneurs. They will be able to understand critical factors required to sustain start-up enterprises. The case will also enable students to explore systems and processes that need to be designed to sustain the start-up phase. Further, the case will help students to brainstorm on growth strategies for social enterprises. Supplementary materials Teaching Notes are available for educators only.

Abstract:
Objective:Bcl-2 antagonist killer 1 (BAK1) is a Bcl-2 family proapoptotic member suggested as a candidate gene for autoimmune diseases. The influence of BAK1 polymorphisms on the risk of developing autoimmune rheumatic diseases (AIRDs) in women was investigated.Methods:A total of 719 Colombian women were included in the present study: 209 had systemic lupus erythematosus, 99 primary Sjögren syndrome, 159 rheumatoid arthritis and 252 were healthy matched controls. Tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and potentially functional variants were typed by TaqMan allele discrimination assays. HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1 typing was performed by reverse dot-blot hybridisation and linkage disequilibrium (LD) with BAK1 SNPs was assessed.Results:SNPs rs513349 (odds ratio (OR) 0.57, 95% CI 0.46 to 0.72, p = <0.001) and rs5745582 (OR 1.61, 95% CI 1.26 to 2.04, p = <0.001) were associated with the AIRDs included in this study. There was a significant increase of the rs513349G-rs561276C-rs5745582A (GCA) haplotype in each patient cohort as compared to controls (OR 1.95, 95% CI 1.50 to 2.54, p = <0.001). These SNPs were not in LD with HLA-DRB1 or HLA-DQB1 genes.Conclusions:The results indicate that the BAK1 polymorphisms influence the risk of acquiring AIRDs in the population studied and are consistent with the paradigm that autoimmune diseases are likely to share common susceptibility variants.

Introducción: La osteoporosis posmenopáusica puede coexistir con otras entidades que aumentan la pérdida ósea.Objetivo: Determinar la frecuencia de causas secundarias de baja masa ósea en mujeres con osteoporosis posmenopáusica en una población colombiana.Diseño: Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo.Población: Mujeres mayores de 50 años con diagnóstico reciente de osteoporosis posmenopáusica antes de iniciar tratamiento.Mediciones: Se incluyeron variables demográficas, densitométricas y bioquímicas como hemoglobina, fosfatasa alcalina, transaminasas, creatinina, 25-hidroxivitamina D, calcio, fósforo, magnesio, calciuria en 24 horas, PTH y TSH.Resultados: Se incluyeron 129 mujeres con edad promedio de 67+/-8,8 años. Cuarenta y nueve mujeres (36%) presentaban antecedente de fractura por fragilidad. En el 86,8% se encontró al menos una alteración bioquímica asociada con pérdida de masa ósea, documentándose insuficiencia de vitamina D en 71,8%, hiperparatiroidismo normocalcémico en 18,1% e hipercalciuria en 6,4%. Las mujeres con antecedente de fractura presentaron valor promedio de fosfatasa alcalina superior (111,6 +/- 61,3 vs 87,1 +/- 30,4 U/L, p= 0,0143) y promedio de hemoglobina inferior (12,9 +/- 1,2 vs. 14,2 +/- 1,2gr/dl, p<0,0001) al compararse con las mujeres sin fractura. Se encontró correlación inversa entre los niveles de fosfatasa alcalina y la densidad mineral ósea de la columna lumbar (p<0,001) y la cadera (p=0,003).Conclusiones: Las causas secundarias de baja masa ósea en mujeres con OPM son frecuentes en nuestro medio. Con base en una frecuencia de alteraciones mayor al 5%, sugerimos la evaluación de toda mujer con OPM con hemoglobina, calcio, calciuria en 24 horas, 25-hidroxivitamina D, AST, PTH y TSH.Abstract Introduction: Postmenopausal osteoporosis can coexist with other entities that increase bone loss. Aim: To determine the frequency of secondary causes of low bone mass in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis in a Colombian population. Materials and methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted, including women over 50 years with newly diagnosed postmenopausal osteoporosis without treatment. Demographic, densitometric and biochemical variables such as hemoglobin, alkaline phosphatase, transaminases, creatinine, 25 hydroxivitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, calciuria in 24 hours, PTH and TSH were evaluated.Results: 129 women with a mean age of 67 +/- 8,8 years were included. 49 patients (36%) had history of fragility fracture. At least one biochemical disorder associated with bone loss was reported in 86,8% of cases, vitamin D insufficiency was documented in 71,8%, normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism in 18,1% and hypercalciuria in 6,4%. Women with history of fracture showed higher average value of alkaline phosphatase (111,6 +/- 61,3 vs 87,1 +/- 30,4 U/L, p=0,0143) and lower mean hemoglobin (12,9 +/- 1,2 vs 14,2 +/- 1,2 gr/dl, p<0,0001) compared with women without fracture. Inverse correlation was found between levels of alkaline phosphatase and bone mineral density of lumbar spine (p<0,001) and hip (p=0,003). Conclusions: Secondary causes of low bone mass in women with PMO are frequent in our clinical practice. Based on a frequency of laboratory abnormalities greater than 5%, we suggest that all women with PMO should be studied with hemoglobin, serum calcium, urinary calcium in 24 hours, 25 hydroxivitamin D, AST, PTH and TSH.

Abstract:
Illness among disenfranchised indigenous communities in Mexico reflects not only disease but also structural relations of power based on ethnicity, gender, and economic status. As such, physiological explanations of illness alone are not sufficient to understand and address suffering caused by common illnesses. Among the Kumiai Indians of one rural community in Baja California, one of the most commonly reported health problems is presióón baja (low blood pressure), and the overlapping condition of alternating high and low blood pressure. Low/variable blood pressure is most likely to affect women from one of two clans and who are relatively poorer than other community members. For these women, low/variable blood pressure embodies the lived experience of and response to high rates of diabetes, local gender relations, and a changing kinship structure. As a local idiom of distress that carries national cultural currency as a reflection of the experiences of indigenous Mexican women living in rural poverty, low/variable blood pressure requires interventions that directly target diabetes but also gender-sensitive economic development programs to promote community health.

Abstract:
This study examines the increase in poor birth outcomes, particularly low birthweight (LBW) and very low birthweight (VLBW) among Latinas in Boston for 1992–1994 and 1996. The research questions were: 1) What are the factors influencing Latino birth outcomes particularly LBW and VLBW?; and 2) Do these factors occur differently among Latino women from different ethnic backgrounds? Birth certificate data from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health for Latinos in Boston from 1987–1995 were used to examine these questions. The sociodemographic, health access, maternal/biological, substance abuse, and infant risk factors contributing to poor birthweight outcomes among Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Dominicans, Mexicans, Central Americans, South Americans, and other Latino ethnic groups were examined through bivariate and multivariate analyses. Statistically significant differences were observed among the groups. The findings reveal variation in the number and types of variables affecting birthweight among various Latino ethnic groups and inform health and social policies regarding Latino women's reproductive and perinatal health.

Abstract:
This article analyzes the effects of increasing economic integration between Mexico and the United States on workers in the California and Baja California fresh fruit and vegetable industry. This sector has experienced significant economic integration in labor, capital, and product markets over the past 10 years. During this period, wages in this sector have fallen on both sides of the border, and wages in Mexico are currently about one-sixth of California wages. Although workers in Baja and California perform the same tasks using the same technology and work for firms funded by some of the same U.S. capital, indigenous Mixtec women and children from the poor, southern state of Oaxaca are concentrated in the lower-paying jobs in Baja, whereas Mixtec and mestizo men have greater access to the higher-paying jobs in California. Differing labor processes on opposite sides of the border result in this binational gender and ethnic segmentation of the labor market, which will slow wage convergence even if remaining trade barriers are removed. Better enforcement of laws and broader employment generation strategies are necessary to reduce poverty among farm workers on both sides of the border.

Abstract:
Lyme disease is the most common vector borne disease in regions with moderate climate. The cause of the disease is Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (B. burgdorferi s.l.), whereas infection is spread via bite from a tick carrying the causative agent. The objective of this work is the examination of descriptive-epidemiological characteristics of Lyme disease in North Backa region in the period from 2012 to 2016. In terms of classifi cation, Lyme dis-ease does not fall into the category of diseases that must be reported when infection occurs among animals. The average rate of incidence in humans during the observed five-year period is 7/100.000. Th e highest incidence of this disease among humans was observed in 2013 (In 12.2/100,000) with 22 reported cases, whereas the lowest incidence was in 2015 (In 5.0/100,000) with 9 reported cases. The highest rate of incidence was recorded in Bačka Topola municipality – 15.9/100.000; followed by Mali Iđoš with 7.2/100.000; while the lowest rate was recorded in Subotica being 5.0 cases per 100,000 residents. Th e presence of the disease was confi rmed in all patients via labo-ratory (serological) tests. Women were more likely to become infected, with the male-female patient ratio being 41%-59%. The disease was documented predominantly among people aged 50-69. The majority of cases were re-corded during spring and summer, in the period from May to June (71%). Among animals, the disease was documented in Subotica and Mali Iđoš municipality, with average prevalence rates among dogs and horses being 0.07%; and 1.52% respectively. Subotica municipality has the most accurate records of cases and a prevalence of 0.06% among dogs, and 1.43% among horses, while Mali Iđoš municipality has higher prevalence, being 2.99% among horses and 0.14% among dogs. The highest occurrence of Lyme disease among animals was documented in 2015, with a prevalence of 2.85% among horses. The presence of causative agents among examined ticks in Mali Iđoš municipality was 16.28% on average, predominantly in 2015 (in 21.21% of examined ticks).

Abstract:
The objective of this study is to assess the effect of alcohol consumption, anxiety, and food restriction before and after consuming alcohol and body image on the risk of anorexia and bulimia in college students from Tijuana, Baja California, through predictive statistical models. A quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional design and a non-probabilistic sample of 526 college students from Tijuana, Baja California, México were used. Application of the scales (with acceptable psychometric properties) was conducted in classrooms. Through path analyses, four models were found with adequate indicators of goodness of fit: (1) risk of anorexia in women [Chi Square (X2) = 5.34, p = 0.376, Adjusted Determination Coefficient (R2)= 0.250]; (2) anorexia risk for men (X2 = 13.067, p = 0.192, R2 = 0.058); (3) risk of bulimia in women (X2 = 3.358, p = 0.645, R2 = 0.202); and bulimia risk for men (X2 = 14.256, p = 0.075, R2 = 0.284). The findings provide empirical evidence for the food and alcohol disturbance model.

Abstract:
A consistent finding from contemporary Western societies is that women outlive men. However, what is unclear is whether sex differences in survival are constant across varying socio-ecological conditions. We test the universality of the female survival advantage with mortality data from a nineteenth century population in the Baja California peninsula of Mexico. When examined simply, we find evidence for a male-biased survival advantage. However, results from Cox regression clearly show the importance of age intervals for variable survival patterns by sex. Our key findings are that males: (i) experience significantly lower mortality risk than females during the ages 15–30 (RR = 0.69), (ii) are at a significantly increased risk of dying in the 61+ category (RR = 1.30) and (iii) do not experience significantly different mortality risk at any other age interval (0–14, 31–45, 46–60). We interpret our results to stem from differing intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors for sex-biased mortality across age intervals, highlighting the relevance of a lifecourse approach to the study of survival advantage. Ultimately, our results make clear the need to more broadly consider variability in mortality risk factors across time and place to allow for a clearer understanding of human survival differences.

Abstract:
Background. One cause of death of women in Indonesia is cancer, one of which is cervical cancer. According to the 2013 Riskesdas data the incidence of cancer in Central Java was 2.1% with 1.2% being cervical cancer. Cervical cancer swallows many female victims in Indonesia, although it should be prevented by making efforts to prevent and detect early, one of them by carrying out a pap smear examination.
 The Aim of the Study. Knowing the factors that affecting motivation conducting pap smear examination in woman of childbearing age. 
 Subject and Method. The research was analytic correlation design. The population in this study were women of childbearing age in the village of Wiragunan in September 2019 to March 2020 totaling 60 respondents. The sampling technique used is saturation sampling technique. The results of the study were analyzed using the Chi-Square Correlation Test.
 Result. Respondents with high knowledge were 44 (73.33%), who had low knowledge of 16 respondents (26.67%). High family support there are 43 respondents (71.67%), low family support 17 respondents (28.33%). While respondents with high motivation 42 (70%) and low motivation 18 (30%). The results of the Chi Square analysis of the level of knowledge (p = 0.001), family support (p = 0.001) on the motivation to do the pap smear.
 Conclusion. There is a relationship of knowledge about cervical cancer with the motivation to conduct pap smears in women of childbearing age. And there is a relationship of family support with the motivation to do a pap smear test on women of childbearing age.

Abstract:
The objective of this paper is to measure the spatial changes that have occurred in the working conditions of women in the agricultural sector in the 32 states of Mexico, during the 2008-2017 period. For this, an index is elaborated that considers three factors: rate of occupied female population that receives some remuneration, rate of occupied female population that has access to health and other benefits, and rate of employed female population that does not receive any remuneration. The results of the index for 2017 show persistent precariousness in the working conditions of women in the southern states: Guerrero, Oaxaca and Chiapas, with indexes of 0.13, 0.17 and 0.2, respectively. In contrast, the states of the northwest: Baja California, Sinaloa, Sonora, Baja California Sur and Chihuahua, continue presenting the best results with indexes of 0.74, 0.66, 0.66, 0.59 and 0.55, respectively. Relatively more industrialized states, such as Querétaro, Aguascalientes, Guanajuato, Coahuila and Nuevo León, have improved working conditions by increasing the index considerably, suggesting the existence of a spillover effect on the agricultural sector.

Abstract:
HPV infection is considered to be the most important etiologic factor in cervical cancer development. In this retrospective study, which included the period from 2000 to 2012, the results of two molecular techniques used in the detection of HPV infection among women of the South Backa District were analyzed. By using the technique of in situ hybridization and the rPCR method, the proportion of high-risk HPV among women with normal cytology was determined to be 19.8% and 32.7%, respectively, and among women with abnormal cytology 43.1% and 61%, respectively. Among the analyzed women, HPV type 16 was the most prevalent, followed by HPV types 31, 51 and 18. Application of molecular HPV diagnosis is valuable because it increases the sensitivity of the screening test, so that the application of both tests to detect cervical cancer is a true prevention of malignancy.

Abstract:
Abstract This research deals with the conceptualizations of effat in Persian and seeks to find out how this cultural key concept regulates the sexuality of Iranians. The analysis of the data collected from the Persian newspaper Kayhan indicates that effat is part of a larger cultural model that operates to restrict the sexuality of Iranians and keep the sexes segregated. The analysis demonstrates that effat exclusively functions to discipline the body and set limits to bodily desires. Within the identified cultural model, effat’s main task is to segregate men and women by creating a cover/barrier between them, blocking/concealing the ways through which sexual desire might be aroused. The results show that metaphor is the primary means of representing the functions of effat. The effat is a curtain and effat is a barrier metaphors mark the boundaries between individuals and prohibited areas of the culture. Moreover, metaphors contribute to discovering the relationship between effat and its most related concepts. Metaphorical conceptualizations of effat provide significant evidence as to how embodied experience is informed and constituted by culture. The research also finds that the body bears the imprint of effat. Compared to anthropological accounts, this research provides a more comprehensive image of this concept by simultaneously taking into account the role of bodily, cognitive, social-cultural, and discursive representations in the formation of the cultural model of effat.

The following paper is about the Jewish woman Margarethe Babka, who lived in a so-called „protected mixed marriage“ („Mischehe“) during National Socialism in Tyrol. The status of being a protected Jew was said to be a protection from deportations, anti-Jewish laws or from detention in concentration camps. The aim of this paper is twofold. Firstly, the biographical work will provide background data to a research project at the Department of Contemporary History of the University of Innsbruck, reconstructing the life of Jewish hybrids and „mixed marriages“ in the Gau Tyrol-Vorarlberg between 1938 and 1945; secondly, it will question the aspect of protection in the life of Jews living in a „Mischehe“ during National Socialism in Tyrol by portraying the story of Margarethe Babka.

Abstract:
By focusing on grassroots groups of the Indian women's movement, we suggest that localglobal linkages often involve several intermediary levels—specifically levels below the nationstate. Grassroots organizing in India illustrates how a variety of intermediary networks are complexly intertwined within the nation state and beyond. Grassroots groups are localized, rural- or urban-based, and can be informal (such as in Bada Bhilwara and the case of MSK) or formal in character (such as Sanlaap). These groups actively build lateral and vertical networks. Austerity and structural adjustment programs have placed pressures on Third World women, forcing them to devise survival strategies to meet basic needs that combine efforts to change gender relations. Grassroots groups are built around daily needs and survival, and often challenge economic liberalization policies that have negative consequences for women—especially poor women.

Abstract:
Purpose: To study the relationship between the methylation status of the Bаk1 promoter and the frequency of chromosomal aberrations in human blood lymphocytes under chronic low-intensity external ionizing radiation.
 Material and methods: The study was performed on 41 people (31 men and 10 women, aged from 36 to 83 years) who are former or current employees of the Siberian Group of Chemical Enterprises, who have been exposed or haven't been exposed to chronic low-intensity external radiation in the course of their professional activities. The workers included in the study were divided into two groups: the first – 15 people who did not have exposure, the second – 26 people who had external exposure (gamma radiation, total dose 89–716 mSv). Whole blood was used to isolate DNA and evaluate chromosomal aberrations in lymphocytes. The methylation status of the Bаk1 promoter was determined using methylsensitive PCR, which was performed after pretreatment of the isolated DNA with methylsensitive AoxI restrictase. The obtained quantitative data were analyzed using the Statistica 10. The differences were considered statistically significant at p ≤ 0.05.
 Results: The methylation status of the Bаk1 promoter in the study groups does not differ (p = 0.18). The study of the effect of external radiation dose on the methylation status of the Bak1 promoter showed that the unmethylated promoter prevails in workers with an average radiation dose of 273.37 ± 43.82 mSv, while the methylated promoter – in workers with an average radiation dose of 183.63 ± 20.58 mSv (p = 0.03). The unmethylated promoter Bаk1 is associated with an increased frequency of chromatid fragments in the blood lymphocytes of group 2 workers (p = 0.03).
 Conclusion: The status of methylation of the Bаk1 promoter in human blood lymphocytes under chronic low-intensity ionizing radiation does not change, but it is observed to depend on the radiation dose and is associated with an increased frequency of chromosomal aberrations (chromatid fragments). Thus, the unmethylated Bаk1 promoter prevails when the external radiation dose is increased. An increase in the frequency of chromatid fragments is associated with an unmethylated Bаk1 promoter. In addition, exposure to chronic low-intensity external radiation is accompanied by a decrease in the frequency of chromosomal fragments in the blood lymphocytes of workers of the Siberian Group of Chemical Enterprises.

Abstract:
International reports of morbidity among female workers in Mexico's border zone have raised concern about the occupational health of female workers in maquiladora plants (foreign-owned border industries with special tariff benefits). Commentators have suggested that U.S. industries may be exploiting workers by transferring work to nations with less stringent health and safety regulation through the maquiladora program. Using data from a larger evaluation of the effectiveness of Project Concern and a specially developed questionnaire, this study investigated the extent to which female workers reported higher morbidity rates than women with other employment and women not employed outside the home in seven colonias (communities) in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. Results showed essentially no difference in many short-term self-reported symptoms of illness among maquiladora workers and two other groups. Women who worked exclusively in the home reported the greatest number of symptoms. These results suggest that additional primary care services may be needed for women who have primarily domestic responsibilities. Additional research is needed to assess the risks for long-latency morbidity.

Abstract:
Introduction Age at menarche is genetically determined, but it is also influenced by body mass index, growth speed, physical activity, social status and other factors. The aim of this study was to identify the average age at menarche, to study acceleration phenomena and correlation of age at menarche of mothers and their daughters in Backa Palanka. Material and methods The survey involved 105 elementary school students (having menstrual cycles, specifically menarche) and 536 women, their mothers. Results and discussion The average age at menarche in girls was 12,17 and in their mothers at 13.08. SD was 0.95 in daughters, and 1.32 in mothers. In 33% of girls the age at menarche was the same as in their mothers, in 46% it was one year earlier or later, in 15% there was a two year difference and in the rest there was a three year difference. Our survey results clearly show that there is an acceleration phenomena involved. Conclusion Genetic factor has the greatest influence on the age at menarche. However, there is also an acceleration phenomena. It is necessary to broaden the survey regarding the effects of physical activity and body mass index on age at menarche. .

Abstract:
Background/Aim. Pregnancy-induced red blood cell (RBC) alloimmunization is important not only because of the possible negative effects on subsequent pregnancy outcomes, in case the fetus carries the antigen, but also because of the optimal transfusion management in cases of obstetric haemorrhage. Timely detection of RBC antibodies is part of a testing, prevention and treatment strategy aimed at achieving better outcomes for alloimmunized mothers with an affected fetus. The aim was to determine the frequency and specificity of alloantibodies among pregnant women from the South Backa District, with special attention to the incidence of anti-D alloantibody. Methods. A retrospective study was conducted from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2019 in the Blood Transfusion Institute of Vojvodina. Screening and antibody identification were performed by an indirect antiglobulin test in gel-microcards (ID-Card Liss/Coombs) with two test RBC (ID-DiaCell I-II screening cells, Bio-Rad, Cressier, Switzerland), on an automated system (IH-500, Bio-Rad). Results. Among 25694 tested pregnant women 1.38% were actively immunized, while 1.12% antibodies was identified in the current pregnancy. Among 3622 (14.09%) RhD-negative women 1.77% with anti-D produced during the ongoing pregnancy were found. Distribution of antibody specificity was: anti-D 23.34%, anti-M 11.85%, anti-E 9.41%, anti-K 9.41%, anti-C 5.92%, anti-Fyb 5.92%, anti-c 3.13%, anti-S 3.13%, anti-Lea 3.13%, anti-Leb 3.13%, anti-Cw 1.75%, anti-Jka 1.40%, anti-P 1.05%, anti-Lub 0.70%, anti-Fya 0.35%, autoantibody of undetermined specificity 0.70%, and irregular antibodies of undetermined specificity 15.68%. Conclusion. Immune globulin prophylaxis has led to a significant reduction in the frequency of D alloimmunization among pregnant women in the South Backa District over the last ten years, but the incidence of anti-D is still significantly higher than in published data for developed countries. We also identified the other, less commonly present, clinically significant antibodies. There is a need to introduce uniform recommendations for immunohematological testing in pregnancy on the territory of the Republic of Serbia, in accordance with modern requirements.

Abstract:
Referencing a range of sources from personal testimonies, diaries, trade union reports and local cinema studies, this chapter unearths the history of women musicians who played to silent film. It traces the pre-history of their entry into the cinema business through the cultures of Edwardian female musicianship that had created a sizeable number of women piano and violin teachers who were able to fill the rapid demand created by newly built cinemas around 1910. This demand was further increased during the First World War as male musicians were called to the Front and the chapter documents the backlash from within the industry against women who stepped in to fill vacant roles. The chapter argues that women were central to creating the emerging art-form of cinema musicianship and shaping the repertoire of cinema music during the first three decades of the twentieth century. With the coming of sound, those women who had learned the cinema organ, in the face of considerable snobbery, were also well placed to continue musical careers in Cine-Variety during the 1930s and beyond. This article looks particularly at the careers of Ena Baga and Florence de Jong who went on to play for silent films until the 1980s.

Abstract:
Penelitian bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan citra perempuan pada tokoh utama dalam novel “Kala” karya Stefani Bella dan Syahid Muhammad dengan kajian feminisme ideologis. Penelitian dilakukan secara deskriptif kualitatif. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan teknik kepustakaan dan teknik baca-catat serta metode membaca sebagai perempuan. Hasil penelitian adalah sebagai berikut: (1) citra fisik Lara adalah perempuan dewasa yang sederhana, apa adanya, dan tidak suka bersolek, (2) citra psikis Lara adalah perempuan yang berjiwa kuat, tegar, tanggung jawab, dan mandiri, (3) citra sosial Lara dalam keluarga adalah anak perempuan yang berbakti kepada orang tuanya, dan (4) citra sosial Lara dalam masyarakat adalah perempuan yang ramah, mudah bergaul, dan aktif berkegiatan. Sosok perempuan dalam novel “Kala” ini menggambarkan sosok perempuan yang berhasil menyetarakan kedudukannya dengan laki-laki khususnya dalam bidang pekerjaan di ranah publik. Ketidakadilan yang dihadapinya karena jenis kelamin tidak menjadikan perempuan lemah dan terpuruk tetapi membangkitkan semangatnya menjadi perempuan yang mandiri.Katakunci: citra, perempuan, feminis ideologisAbstract:The study aimed to describe the woman’s image reflected by the main character of Kala, a novel written by Stefani Bella and Syahid Muhammad. The woman’s image was viewed from an ideological feminism approach. The research was descriptive qualitative of which the data were collected through library study and note-taking, as well as reading as woman. The study results in several findings. First, Lara’s physical image was described as modest, natural, and not keen on prinking herself. Second, psychologically, Lara’s image was strong, tough, responsible, and independent. Third, Lara’s social image in the family was filial to her parents, and fourth, Lara’s social image in society was described as friendly, sociable, and active. The woman’s figure in the novel shows the one who is able to equalize the position with men, especially in occupations related to the people. The inequality as experienced by the character should not weaken women. Instead, it should encourage women to be independent.Keywords: image, women, ideological feminism

Abstract:
The study aims to observe the use of fuelwood by people living near Tahura Rajolelo Bengkulu. This study explored two villages as the subjects, desa Dusun Baru I and desa Tanjung Terdana. Thirty-one (10% IS) households were selected (using stratified random sampling methods) as samples. Data of fuelwood consumption was measured by directly weighing the fuelwood used for daily activities. Fuelwood preference, methods of collecting fuelwood and other social-economic data were gathered by interviewing the selected families. From the study it was figured out that; (1) fuelwood consumption of the families in desa Dusun Baru I and Tanjung Terdana were very high, (2) the high consumption is the impact of the consumption for protecting cattle and the inefficient use of fuelwood for cooking, (3) the fuelwood consumption of the family was significantly affected by the number of people in the family, and (4) women held the main role in collecting fuelwood.Keywords: fuelwood, tahura, Rajolelo

Abstract:
In this study the presence of anti-Toxoplasma IgM and IgG antibodies in sera of 245 children, aged 1 to 18 years, was determined. In the eldest group (15-18), 29.2% of the sera were positive for the IgG antibody. Toxoplasma gondii infection in pregnant women and immunosuppressed patients produces severe consequences, while in immunocompetent individuals it is considered asymptomatic and latent. Recent emerging links to mental disorders has shed a completely new light on the public health view of this common infection. It calls for a new approach in the prevention and screening of a population, children being the target group.

Abstract:
Evidence of the relationship between altered cognitive function and depleted Fe status is accumulating in women of reproductive age but the degree of Fe deficiency associated with negative neuropsychological outcomes needs to be delineated. Data are limited regarding this relationship in university women in whom optimal cognitive function is critical to academic success. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between body Fe, in the absence of Fe-deficiency anaemia, and neuropsychological function in young college women. Healthy, non-anaemic undergraduate women (n 42) provided a blood sample and completed a standardised cognitive test battery consisting of one manual (Tower of London (TOL), a measure of central executive function) and five computerised (Bakan vigilance task, mental rotation, simple reaction time, immediate word recall and two-finger tapping) tasks. Women's body Fe ranged from − 4·2 to 8·1 mg/kg. General linear model ANOVA revealed a significant effect of body Fe on TOL planning time (P= 0·002). Spearman's correlation coefficients showed a significant inverse relationship between body Fe and TOL planning time for move categories 4 (r − 0·39, P= 0·01) and 5 (r − 0·47, P= 0·002). Performance on the computerised cognitive tasks was not affected by body Fe level. These findings suggest that Fe status in the absence of anaemia is positively associated with central executive function in otherwise healthy college women.

 Abstract
 The psychological evaluation is a process in which conclusions are drawn regarding personality traits through validated tests for their respective diagnosis and treatment. The objective of this research is to evaluate the influential factors associated with personality disorders, low self-esteem and self-injury that induce adolescents to practice cutting. The sample was 100 students of 10th grade of general basic education between 14 to 16 years, 51% were men and 49% women. The IAME questionnaire (Inventory of self-concept in the school environment), which measures self-esteem, is made up of 10 scales: self-control, friendship, acceptance towards others, acceptance from others, sociability, self-assessment, empathy, evaluation, self-criticism and independence. The borderline personality disorder test (BPD) was also applied for the psychological evaluation of the personality.

Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to analyze the conformation of cross-border interaction spaces articulated by religious affiliation, between a congregation of Zapotec evangelical women in the city of Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico, and religious organizations and evangelical churches from the state of California, United States. The methodological approach is qualitative. Ethnographic data from 2017 and 2018 are analyzed. The originality of this work lies in showing how cross-border spaces can be built by religious affiliation, which transcends ethnic identifications and links different actors, despite the current and difficult socio-political context of the Mexico-United States border.
