Comparing Reproductive Health Awareness, Nutrition, and Hygiene among Early and Late Adolescents from Marginalized Populations of India: A Community-Based Cross-Sectional Survey
Adolescence (10–19 years) is marked by many physiological changes and is vulnerable to health and nutritional problems. Adolescence, particularly, early adolescence is inadequately addressed in our national surveys. The present study aimed to assess the reproductive health awareness, nutrition, and hygiene of marginalized adolescent girls and boys and compare them among early and late adolescents.
A qualitative evaluation of an integrated health and livelihood development project for marginalized communities in India
Background: A community-based intervention was implemented to improve maternal, child, and adolescent health practices, promote financial literacy and enhance livelihood opportunities for young people in marginalized communities. A hypothesis related to our intervention was that peer-led education sessions on health and nutrition in conjunction with community mobilization would change communities'
YtkA (CtaK) and YozB (CtaM) function in the biogenesis of cytochrome c oxidase in Bacillus subtilis
Cytochrome c oxidase in the respiratory chain of bacteria and mitochondria couples the reduction of molecular oxygen to form water with the generation of a transmembrane proton gradient. Bacillus subtilis has two heme A-containing heme–copper oxidases: the menaquinol oxidase cytochrome aa3 and the cytochrome c oxidase cytochrome caa3. By screening three collections of mutants for defective cytochr
Respiratory heme A-containing oxidases originated in the ancestors of iron-oxidizing bacteria
Respiration is a major trait shaping the biology of many environments. Cytochrome oxidase containing heme A (COX) is a common terminal oxidase in aerobic bacteria and is the only one in mammalian mitochondria. The synthesis of heme A is catalyzed by heme A synthase (CtaA/Cox15), an enzyme that most likely coevolved with COX. The evolutionary origin of COX in bacteria has remained unknown. Using ex

Temporality of agency in regional development
The temporality of agency plays a fundamental role in regional development but has received little attention in economic geography and regional studies. This paper zooms in on two aspects of temporality: the temporality of intentions and the temporality of consequences. The former refers to actors’ perception and valuation of opportunities in the near and distant future, whereas the latter refers
Improving streamflow simulation by combining hydrological process-driven and artificial intelligence-based models
Accurate and timely monitoring of streamflow and its variation is crucial for water resources management in watersheds. This study aimed at evaluating the performance of two process-driven conceptual rainfall-runoff models (HBV: Hydrologiska Byråns Vattenbalansavdelning, and NRECA: Non Recorded Catchment Areas) and seven hybrid models based on three artificial intelligence (AI) methods (adaptive n

Anti-Black Racism in Yemen: Manifestations and Responses
Anti-Black Racism is still very present in Yemen, with a discriminatory caste system that is based on skin colour. Nevertheless, there are initiatives and solutions being put forward to combat this and ways in which awareness is being raised. This paper seeks to explore the dynamics of anti-Black racism in Yemen and how resistance against this is expressed, as well as the obstacles activists face
What is a Child? Exploring Conceptualization of Pakistani Adolescents About Children
This study aimed to investigate the responses of university students (late adolescents) about their conceptualization of a child, exploring the characteristics they associate with being a child. The study was conducted in two phases. In phase 1, responses to one open-ended question, what is a child? (N=75), were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. In phase 2, students (N=90) filled in an
Risk Perception and Protective Behavior in the Context of COVID-19: a Qualitative Exploration
As a result of the devastating health effects of the COVID-19 outbreak, the lockdown has been considered a safety measure in many countries. In Pakistan, the first case of COVID-19 was reported in February 2020. The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate people’s risk perception and protective behavior during the lockdown. Twenty-two (22) participants from eight big cities across Pak
Prognostic and predictive biomarkers in metastatic colorectal cancer constant and evolutionary perspectives
Colorectal cancer (CRC) affects nearly 2 million people each year and accounts for 900 000 deaths worldwide. The main prognostic factor is disease stage at diagnosis and around 40% of the patients presents with or develop metastatic CRC (mCRC). Even if the disease has disseminated, cure is sometimes possible, but despite thorough selection of patients for metastasectomy, most patients will suffer
Conceptualizing and Researching Resilience: Need for Theoretical and Methodological Triangulation
The concept of ‘resilience’ is not independent of physical, psychological, cultural, and political environments. The human capacity to sustain is ingrained in the contextualization and internalization of resilience. This makes the notion of resilience an interdisciplinary construct requiring theoretical and methodological triangulation. A decontextualization of the concept ‘resilience’ and an atte
Eco depletion : The impact of hunger on prosociality by means of environmentally friendly attitudes and behavior
The present research investigated the impact of hunger on prosociality in a consumer choice context by means of environmentally friendly attitudes and behavior. Two eye-tracking studies were conducted with hunger measured (Study 1) and manipulated (Study 2). The data were analyzed through bivariate correlations, Pearson's chi-square tests, and analyses of variance (ANOVAs). Our findings, based on
Taking stock and moving forward: a systematic literature review on accounting professionalisation in China, 1980–2021
PurposeThis paper aims to review the research on accounting professionalisation in China to develop insights into how the research is developing, offer a critique of the research to date and outline future research directions and opportunities.Design/methodology/approachThis paper adopts a methodological approach of systematic literature review, as suggested by Tranfield et al. (2003) and Denyer a
Evaluation of TRAP-sequencing technology with a versatile conditional mouse model
Gene expression profiling of various cell lineages has provided invaluable insights into the molecular mechanisms regulating cellular development and differentiation. However, in vivo molecular profiling of rare and interspersed cell populations, such as endothelial cells, has remained challenging. We have generated a versatile floxed translating ribosome affinity purification (TRAP) mouse model,
Crosstalk between astrocytes and microglia results in increased degradation of α-synuclein and amyloid-β aggregates
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are characterized by brain accumulation of aggregated amyloid-beta (Aβ) and alpha-synuclein (αSYN), respectively. In order to develop effective therapies, it is crucial to understand how the Aβ/αSYN aggregates can be cleared. Compelling data indicate that neuroinflammatory cells, including astrocytes and microglia, play a central ro
