The document discusses various issues related to women empowerment in India, including gender discrimination, female literacy rates, women's health issues, and crimes against women like dowry deaths and rape. It notes that while India has made progress in many areas, gender discrimination persists in many parts of society and mindsets. Female literacy rates and access to healthcare vary greatly between states and regions of India. The document calls for initiatives to improve education for girls, healthcare access for women, and safety measures to protect women from crimes.

Selective elimination of female foetuses and selection of male at a preconception stage contributes to more and more ‘missing girls’. Legacy of continuing declining sex ratio in India in the history of Census of India has taken new turn with widespread use of NRTs in India. NRTs are based on principle of selection of the desirable and rejection of the unwanted. In India, the desirable is the baby boy and the unwanted is the baby girl. The result is obvious. The Census results of 2001 have revealed that with sex ratio of 927 girls for 1000 boys, India had deficit of 60 lakh girls in age-group of 0-6 years, when it entered the new millennium.
Female infanticide was practiced among selected communities, while the abuse of NRTs has become a generalised phenomenon encompassing all communities irrespective of caste, class, religious, educational and ethnic backgrounds. Demographers, population control lobby, anthropologists, economists, legal experts, medical fraternity and feminists are divided in their opinions about gender implications of NRTs. NRTs, in the context of patriarchal control over women’s fertility and commercial interests are posing major threat to women’s dignity and bodily integrity. The supporters of sex selective abortions put forward the argument of “Women’s Choice” as if women’s choices are made in social vacuum. In this context, the crucial question is- Can we allow Asian girls to become an endangered species?
Asian countries are undergoing a demographic transition of low death and birth rates in their populations. The nation-states in S. Asia are vigorously promoting small family norms. India has adopted two-child norm and China has ruthlessly imposed ‘one child per family’ rule. Sex ratios in Europe, North America, Caribbean, Central Asia, the poorest region- sub Saharan Africa are not favourable to women as these countries neither kill / neglect girls nor do they use (New Reproductive Technologies) NRTs for production of sons.

Human rights begin with child rights. These
rights are: 1. Subsistence rights 2. Development rights 3.
Protection rights 4. Participation rights. A Child is defined as a
every human being below the age of 18 years. In India, many of
these feeble hands, instead of carrying books are often bruise in
factories of pan, bidi, cigarettes (21%), construction (17%),
domestic workers (15%), spinning & weaving (11%), apart from
brick kilns (7%) dhabas (6%) auto workers (4%) ,paddy-fields
and football making etc. Punjab has an alarmingly low under-5
sex ratio(846:1000) and the lowest sex ratio at birth(832:1000). It
also has 1,77,268 child laborers. Among all reported feticides,
56% are registered in Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh and Punjab.
Crime against children saw a 24% increase; from 26,694 cases in
2010 to 33,098 cases in 2011. Rape cases increased by 30%,
feticide by 19% while buying of girls for prostitution declined by
65%. There is an increase of 10.5% in juvenile crimes from
2010(22,740) to 2011(25,125). As a result of such forced labor,
children are often subjected to malnutrition, impaired vision,
deformities and easy victims of deadly diseases like Tb, Cancer
and AIDS.
Contribution of women empowerment towards the development in Rwanda: Case of ...Premier Publishers
The main objective of this study was to examine the contribution of women empowerment towards development in Rwanda, using Duhaguruke/Kora cooperative as a case study. The following were the specific objectives; investigate how economic activities contribute to women empowerment, explore challenges to the effective women empowerment and propose the solutions to those challenges. Data were collected from 93 respondents using questionnaires, group discussions and interviews. The cluster sampling method and simple random sampling methods were used. Findings revealed that economic activities empower women in community and they can contribute to the socio-economic development by educating their children, establishing businesses and paying taxes, paying health insurance for the family members, influence the family welfare, participation in decision making at local level through incomes from their jobs and employment. High fertility rate and gender inequalities within households were revealed as the most challenges to the effective women empowerment, other challenges observed were low education level and lack of professionalism, irresponsibility of men which affect negatively the loans management for women. Solutions suggested by participants were low fertility rate and gender equality within the family, women's education and participation in women's associations, legal marriage and greater access to credits.

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Rooted problem of gender discrimination and immense ignorance
1. Rooted problem of gender discrimination and immense
ignorance towards women empowerment.
Name : ADITI SINHA
TECH ID: TECH53635
2. • Gender discrimination has become one of the most distressing
and miserable situations of our country.
• Growth and development prevails in scientific and
educational fields but their lack is seen in the mindset of a large
population of our country.
• Women are being deprived of various necessities that are
essential not only for their development but also for the
development of the nation.
• The attitude of discrimination towards women has existed for
generations and as a result, affects the lives of both gender
including the development of our country.
• There are less opportunities for women in sectors which
traditionally demand for men to participate such as armed
forces, factories etc.
• Women are regarded to be disadvantaged at work and
conclusions are drawn that their capabilities are often
underestimated.
3. Female literacy rate and its impact on our society
The
development of any nation is indicated by the level of education and
that too of both genders.
As
per census of 2011, an effective literacy rate of India for men was
82.14% whereas for women it was only 65.46%.
There
is a dramatic difference in the female literacy rate based on various
regions in India. Kerala has highest female literacy rate( 92%, as per 2011
census) whereas Rajasthan(52.7% as per 2011 census) has lowest female
literacy rate in India.
States such as Uttar Pradesh(59.3% as per 2011 census) and Bihar (53.3% as
per 2011 census) in spite of being thickly populated, show low levels of
female literacy.
4. Lack of education means lack of awareness. Illiterate women are not
aware of their rights
When a girl or woman is not educated, it is not only she who suffers but
the entire family has to bear the consequences of her illiteracy.
The following pie-chart shows the rate of female illiteracy in various
states of India.

5. Women’s health in India
The heath of Indian women is intrinsically linked to their status in India.
Many of the health problems of Indian women are related to high levels of
fertility. Overall fertility has been declining in India, by 1992-93, the total
fertility rate was 3.4(IIPS,’95).
Uttar Pradesh has a total fertility of over five children per woman. On the
other hand, Kerala, which has relatively high levels of female education
and autonomy, has total fertility rate under 2.
Over 100,000 Indian women die each year from Pregnancy related causes.
India’s Maternal Mortality Rate, dropped from 212 deaths per 100,000 in
2007-2009 to 178 in 2010-2012.

7. Dowry….still an anathema in our country
Recent reports reveal, in India, a woman dies every hour due to dowry
related problems. The national crime records Bureau figures state that 8233
dowry deaths were reported in 2012 from various states.
In 2001, near 7000 dowry deaths were registered in India over inadequate
dowry apart from other mental trauma cases. Bride burning, inducing
suicides, physical and mental torture by their husbands or in-laws is
sometimes found to be done if the bride fails to bring sufficient dowry.
The number of dowry deaths in the country has seen a steady growth
during the period between 2007-2011. While in 2007, 8093 such deaths
were reports, the number rose to 8172 and 8383 in 2008 and 2009
respectively. In 2010, 8391 deaths were reported according to NCRB.
8. Rape and sexual harassment…
According to 2012 statistics, New Delhi has the highest number of rape
reports among Indian cities, while Jabalpur has the per capita incidence of
reported rapes.
Sources show that rape cases in India have doubled between 1990 and
2008. The latest estimates suggest that a new case of rape is reported every
22 minutes in India.
According to NCRB, 24,206 rape cases were reported in India in 2011.
9. Ideas for improving female literacy rate
Primary education plays the most important role in shaping up the base. For
this reason, free education, means of transportation etc. should be provided to
the girls and they should be allowed by their family members to attend the
classes.
Every literate should take initiatives to teach illiterate girls.
Message should be spread that education of women is a pre-condition for
fighting against their oppression.
10. The condition of women’s health in India can be
improved by:
increasing the access to basic health services.
improving sanitation and hygiene practices.
improving quantity and quality of food and nutrients
increasing the number of nursing homes, clinics and
hospitals in rural areas as well.
11. The steps which should be taken for increasing the safety of
women are as follows:
By increasing police patrolling.
All VIPs with more than two security personnel should give one cop from
their security to enhance police presence for the public.
All public transport must be on GPS and CCTV’s should be installed in
buses.
All sexual offenders must be monitored by law enforcers once they have
served their sentence.
12. CONLUSION
From ancient times, women are facing all types of
hardships which they do not even deserved. Today
women are working in every field that was once thought
to be done only by men. It is said a girl transforms the
house to home. Let’s give chance to all the women so that
they can reach new horizons and our country can progress
in every possible way. Let them study, let them work, let
them live their dreams and last but not the least, respect
them.
