Β-Asarone-induced vasorelaxation in isolated rat mesenteric artery
The Animal That Reframes Identity
Literary depiction of animals can disrupt anthropocentric conceptions of identity through foreshadowing non-human agency and experience. This paper contends that in Flush: A Biography, Life of Pi, and “A Report to an Academy”, Virginia Woolf, Yann Martel, and Franz Kafka portray animal characters as not symbolic but as performers who inhabit the world cohesively through sense and emotion. Based on posthumanist criticisms of human exceptionalism (…
Knowledge of Maternal Health Complications
Despite notable reductions in Bangladesh’s maternal mortality ratio (MMR), maternal deaths remain high, with many attributed to preventable obstetric complications. Timely recognition of maternal complications during pregnancy, delivery, or postpartum is crucial, yet maternal knowledge remains limited. This study explored pregnant women’s knowledge of maternal complications in Bangladesh and predictors of knowledge acquisition. We analyzed data f…

Social-Support Sword or Shield? Role of Differentiated Social-Support across Social-Contexts—Conceptual Framework
The role of social-support in stress coping literature has predominantly been viewed as a positive resource, neglecting its associated costs for both providers and recipients. This research addresses the gap in understanding the interaction effects of different forms of social-support, packaged either as demands or resources, in various social-contexts. By integrating Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) and Job Demands and Resources Theory (JD-R), this…
Do cash transfer programs have different effects on children based on household disability status? Evidence from Malawi and Zambia
Globally, about 1 billion people have disabilities. Cash transfers (CTs) are social protection programs often explicitly including people with disabilities. There is little research differentiating CT impacts by disability status. We used a triple difference estimation strategy with three‐way interaction terms to estimate disability‐differential impacts of CTs in Malawi and Zambia on material needs, physical health, and nutritional status among c…
How Secular Is Art?
As an invitation to interrogate the secular modality of art, the book unsettles both the categories of 'art' and 'secular' in their theoretical and historical implications. It questions the temporal, spatial and cultural binaries between the 'sacred' and the 'secular' that have shaped art historical scholarship as well as artistic practice. All the essays here are anchored in a conception of a region, whether we call it South Asia or the Indian s…

Investments in children’s health and the Kenyan cash transfer for orphans and vulnerable children
Child mortality is one of the most pressing global health and policy issues in the developing world. The leading drivers of death-pneumonia, diarrhea and malaria-are preventable and treatable. However, these illnesses are exacerbated by a lack of accessible nutrition, water, basic and preventive health services, and sanitary living conditions-all factors which are more likely to disproportionately impact the poor. We examine whether Kenya's large…
Repatriation Without Patria
Most claims for the repatriation of artefacts are made by newly sovereign nations, or by communities emerging from a period of domination. They dispute the legal and moral rights of former powers to remove objects from their original home. What meanings can 'repatriation' have for Tibet, which exists both as a province of China and as an exile community that has established a 'virtual' nation with a government-in-exile? This article studies some …

The importance of HIV prevention messaging for orphaned youth in Zimbabwe
The AIDS epidemic has contributed to a drastic increase in the number of orphans in Zimbabwe. Female adolescent orphans are particularly in jeopardy of contracting HIV due to disadvantages including extreme poverty, low education, and the absent of parental oversight which can lead to higher risk-taking sexual behaviors. By understanding where girls receive education about HIV and who they rely on for information, organizations can effectively mo…
Maternal Autonomy and Attitudes Towards Gender Norms
Gender equality and education
Gender equality and education are being promoted as strategies to combat the HIV epidemic in Africa, but few studies have looked at the role of gender equality and education in the uptake of a vital service - HIV testing.
