Diagnostic accuracy of a molecular-based point-of-care test for rapid detection of respiratory syncytial virus in children admitted to high-dependency care in Nepal
Background: Rapid respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) diagnostics are largely unavailable in low-resource settings. We compared the diagnostic accuracy of a molecular-based point-of-care test (POCT) with standard reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in children admitted to high-dependency care. Methods: We analysed data from a larger study (RSV GOLD - ICU Network study) in two Nepali tertiary hospitals over two respiratory seaso…

Air Quality Monitoring Using Low-Cost Sensors in Urban Areas of Jodhpur, Rajasthan
Air pollution poses a significant health hazard in urban areas across the globe, with India being one of the most affected countries. This paper presents environmental monitoring study conducted in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India, to assess air quality in diverse urban environments. The study involved continuous indoor and outdoor air quality monitoring, focusing on particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) levels, bioaerosols, and associated meteorological paramet…
Strengthening breast cancer screening program through health education of women and capacity building of primary healthcare providers
Background: Globally and in India, breast cancer is a prevalent malignancy. India saw 178,361 new cases and 90,000 deaths in 2020. Timely detection is vital, highlighting the importance of Breast Self-Examination (BSE), especially in low-income settings. Strengthening BSE in awareness and screening efforts is urgent. Despite awareness, practical application lags due to women's reluctance. Effective execution demands partnerships, a multi-sectoral…

Salt-Tolerant Compatible Microbial Inoculants Modulate Physio-Biochemical Responses Enhance Plant Growth, Zn Biofortification and Yield of Wheat Grown in Saline-Sodic Soil
A wide range of root-associated mutualistic microorganisms have been successfully applied and documented in the past for growth promotion, biofertilization, biofortification and biotic and abiotic stress amelioration in major crops. These microorganisms include nitrogen fixers, nutrient mobilizers, bio-remediators and bio-control agents. The present study aimed to demonstrate the impact of salt-tolerant compatible microbial inoculants on plant gr…
Gendered labour process
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine perspective of “gendered labour process” to explore the aspectsof managerialism, which utilize gender as a control measure to achieve its ends. The paper seeks to integrate gender and labour process theory and contribute to studies on gendering of organizations that focus on organization logic as well as integrated studies of labour process theory and gender. Design/methodology/approach The paper ut…
Hegemonic masculinity or masculine domination
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that Bourdieu’s concept of masculine domination offers a comprehensive social theory of gender as compared to Connell’s concept of hegemonic masculinity through examining the proposition of positive hegemonic masculinity. Design/methodology/approach This is a conceptual paper that argues that Bourdieu’s concept of masculine domination offers a comprehensive social theory of gender as compared to…

Perspectives on Women’s Menopausal Health in India
With an increase in the survival rate and shift in the age composition of women, menopause is emerging as one of the major health issues in the sociology of health. Thanks to demographic transition, a sizeable number of women will now spend one-third to half of their life as post-menopausal. The present paper focuses upon the prevailing discourses on women’s menopausal health in the Indian setting. It suggests that though women’s health beliefs, …
Missing Female Fetus
A micro-level investigation of 983 pregnant women (aged 15-49 years) regarding sex determination and associated factors was carried out in a periurban region of Northern India. Among the women surveyed, 183 chose to use sex determination. The highest percentage of sex determination was among 30-39-year-old women, and general caste and family size were two risk factors associated with sex determination. Correcting imbalances in sex ratios at birth…

Intra- And Inter-Household Differences in Antenatal Care, Delivery Practices and Postnatal Care Between Last Neonatal Deaths and Last Surviving Children in a Peri-Urban Area of India
Nearly a quarter of the world's neonatal deaths take place in India. The state of Uttar Pradesh alone accounts for one-quarter of all neonatal deaths in the country. In this study 892 married women aged less than 50 years living in a peri-urban area of Kanpur city in Uttar Pradesh were interviewed. In all, 109 women reported neonatal deaths. Characteristics of the last neonatal deaths of these 109 women were compared with those of the last surviv…
Patrifocal Concerns in the Lives of Women in Academic Science
This paper examines the social milieu of women academic scientists, parental influence in decision making in regard to the career of their daughters, parents' expectations, importance of marriage and the criteria involved therein. The support of parents and spouse are vital for the success of women scientists. Nevertheless, the 'dual burden' has an impact on professional work, and the consequent redefinition of 'success' is clearly a product of p…
Gender Inequality in the Work Environment at Institutes of Higher Learning in Science and Technology in India
Analyses of the work environment in any professional organization in terms of western conceptual categories remain incomplete, in the case of a developing country, without an understanding of the social context in which the organization is placed. This article analyses the problems faced by women academic scientists in the work environment at four institutes reputed for excellence in teaching and research in science and technology in India.'Patri…
