Enilconazol tolerance of bee brood, adult bees and queens.
No full textPogrešna ili prekomjerna uporaba antibiotika i akaricida u suzbijanju pčelinjih bolesti, kao i različiti stresori, uključujući uzgoj pčelinjih matica, mogu povećati učestalost vapnenastog legla. Enilkonazol bi mogao biti lijek od izbora za liječenje te bolesti. Njegov utjecaj na pčele, pčelinje lego i matice istražen je stoga po prvi puta u laboratorijskim uvjetima i na pčelinjaku. Količine od 200, 400 i 1.000 mg enilkonazola otopljene su u 96 %-nom etanolu, dodane u 50 ml šećernog sirupa (1:1, masa/volumen) i pohranjene pokusnim skupinama. Promatranja pčela i pčelinjeg legla u laboratorijskim košnicama s jednim okvirom (apisarij) tijekom 30 dana nisu pokazala razlike između tretiranih i kontrolne skupine hranjene samo šećernim sirupom. Utjecaj enilkonazola na kvalitetu matica istražen je u AŽ košnicama s nekoliko posebno pripremljenih i podijeljenih okvira. Utvrđeno je da između tretiranih i kontrolnih zajednica tijekom 25 dana nije bilo razlike u prihvaćanju i vitalnosti matica, kao ni u razvoju pčelinjeg legla.The incorrect or excessive use of antibiotics and of acaricides against bee diseases, as well as various stressors, including queen rearing, can increase the incidence of chalk-brood. A promising drug against this disease could be Enilconazol. Its influence on bees, bee brood and queens was therefore tested for the first time under laboratory and apiary conditions. Amounts of 200, 400, and 1000 mg of Enilconazol were dissolved in 96% ethyl alcohol, added to 50 ml of sugar solution (1:1, w/v) and fed to experimental groups. Bees accepted the experimental feeds well. Observation of bees and bee brood during 30 days in the laboratory glass hives with one frame (apisarium) showed no difference between treated and control groups fed with plain sugar solution. The influence of Enilconazol on quality of queens was examined in AZ type pavilion hives with several especially prepared and divided frames. It was established that during 25 days there was no difference between treated and control colonies in acceptance and vitality of queens and in development of bee brood
'Age' of the prosecutrix: An aggravating factor in the punishment of sexual offences
No full textThis article engages with the weightage of ‘age’ of the prosecutrix while punishing the offender by the criminal justice system of India in response to sexual offences. The author(s) demonstrates the need of the hour on the importance of stricter laws based on retributive theory on crimes against minors by analyzing the existing laws in the Indian legal system and impact of such crimes on minor
Mapping menstrual equity in Canada - A shared vision: Qualitative research
No full textThe following report, prepared for Women and Gender Equality Canada (WAGE), presents findings from exploratory research based on qualitative interviews with 31 menstrual equity advocates in Canada. This report is one of three submitted to WAGE: Literature review, Qualitative research and High-level environmental scan. The report begins with providing a brief context related to menstrual equity advocacy and advocates in Canada. It then turns to an overview of the methodology, including the study design, participant recruitment, study tools (e.g. survey, interview guide) and analysis. A detailed overview of the study population is provided. Results are presented by themes: the current landscape of menstrual inequity and distribution, education, advocacy, and research. Results are presented in a largely descriptive fashion with some preliminary links to existing literature. We conclude with a discussion of the strengths and limitations of the present study.Menstrual Cycle Research Grou
Promising programs and initiatives to increase menstrual equity - Inside and outside Canada: Environmental scan
No full textThe following report, prepared for Women and Gender Equality Canada (WAGE), provides a highlevel environmental scan of promising programs and initiatives to increase menstrual equity and address period poverty. The report shares findings from programs and initiatives both inside and outside Canada. The current report is one of three submitted to WAGE: Literature review, Qualitative research and High-level environmental scan. The report begins with a summary overview of relevant context factors which informed the methodology and analysis. Findings are broken down within and outside Canada across four main categories: distribution (of menstrual supplies), education, advocacy and research. We conclude
with a section on the strengths and limitations of the present research.Menstrual Cycle Research Grou
Menstrual equity in Canada - Current knowledge and future research directions: Literature review
No full textThe following report, prepared for Women and Gender Equality Canada (WAGE), provides a review of literature reflecting current knowledge about menstrual equity, the extent of period poverty in Canada and future research directions. The report also includes a summary overview of key terms and concepts, frameworks and context factors relevant to the present study. Analysis was guided by the PROGRESS-Plus approach (1), which serves to ensure an equity lens in research. The current report is one of three submitted to WAGE: Literature review, Qualitative research, and High-level environmental scan. Research examining menstruation, the menstrual cycle and the lived experiences of menstruators has been historically marginalized (2). Recent years have seen a proliferation of research and literature; however, primarily within global public health or countries outside Canada (3). Here in Canada, we are just beginning to understand the differential impacts of period poverty on vulnerable and marginalized groups, as well as the range of systemic factors that shape menstrual inequities. Existing Canadian scholarly and grey publications reflect the nascent character of menstrual equity knowledge in Canada, while acknowledging the importance of key frameworks for directing future research.Menstrual Research Grou
Are Status of Women and Contraceptive Prevalence Correlated in Pakistan?
No full textPakistan with an estimated population of around 142.5 million in mid 2001 is the seventh most populous country in the world and fourth in Asia and Pacific countries. The historical trends indicate a continuously increasing growth in population (Table 1). The population of the area now constituting Pakistan was 16.6 million in 1901. Since then the population has increased over eight-fold. Annual growth rates have risen from 1 percent in the first three decades of the century to around 2 percent in the next three decades and after peaking at little over 3 percent in the 1960s, has started showing a declining trend. Currently it is estimated that Pakistan’s population is growing at around 2.1 percent, still a very high rate of annual growth in population. Major contributing factor to the fast growth in population of Pakistan has been high fertility which has remained high for a very long period. It is evident that nearly 100 million population has been added to the population of Pakistan since 1961, that is, during the last four decades. Such rapid growth in population has several adverse implications for the socio-economic development of the country which has been offsetting the gains in social and economic development.

Stagnation in fertility levels in Pakistan
No full textThe paper highlights major trends in fertility and its proximate determinants and presents the latest Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data, depicting a stall in fertility levels at four children per women. The author tries to assess more precise levels of current fertility as well as the prospects for replacement fertility. It is apparent that rises in the age at marriage of women continues to impact on fertility while the contraceptive prevalence rate has plateaued at the relatively low level of 30 per cent. Induced abortions, estimated at almost a million a year, may be one of the prevailing options for avoiding unwanted pregnancies, eclipsing the role of family planning methods. The key challenge in further reducing fertility is to tackle the obstacles leading to unmet need for family planning services (over 30 per cent in Pakistan). Despite the narrowing gap between rural and urban fertility levels, rural fertility remains high and differentials by education of women show inequities in the fertility decline. Therefore, public policies and social and economic determinants are likely to impact closely on further declines in fertility, from current levels of 4.0 to 2.2 in the coming decades. The question facing Pakistan is whether economic prosperity and current levels of social development will be sufficient to transform the fertility decline of the 1990s into a fertility at replacement level
