Muslim Women in Politics

This study aims to identify the practice of Muslim women in politics according to Shari‘ah principles and Malaysian perspective on their involvement as this country has adopted democracy which allows women to get involved in politics. Generally, there are at least two opinions found in the literature where there are scholars who have decisively opposed women from positioning themselves in politics i.e: head of a state and others permit their grant for women to involve in politics. This study is applying the qualitative methodology in which the authors tend to get information directly from the primary sources as well as the secondary booked by both traditional and modern scholars related to the field of this study. All the information gathered in the books does seem important to the authors as it denotes the idea of the topic clearly from the illustrated interpretations. As a result, the authors find that there is no harm for Muslim women to involve in the political area. Despite the permission, Malaysia still struggling to empowering women’s will as noted in National Women’s Policy Malaysia which to provide encouragement for women’s involvement in politics by targeting 30 percent of their involvement.

Racial disparities in surgical outcomes after mastectomy in 223000 female breast cancer patients: a retrospective cohort study.

Breast cancer mortality and treatment differ across racial groups. It remains unclear whether such disparities are also reflected in perioperative outcomes of breast cancer patients undergoing mastectomy. The authors reviewed the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database (2008-2021) to identify female patients who underwent mastectomy for oncological purposes. The outcomes were stratified by five racial groups (white, Black/African American, Asian, American Indian/Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander) and included 30-day mortality, reoperation, readmission, surgical and medical complications, and non-home discharge. The study population included 222947 patients, 68% ( n =151522) of whom were white, 11% ( n =23987) Black/African American, 5% ( n =11217) Asian, 0.5% ( n =1198) American Indian/Alaska Native, and 0.5% ( n =1018) Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander. While 136690 (61%) patients underwent partial mastectomy, 54490 (24%) and 31767 (14%) women received simple and radical mastectomy, respectively. Overall, adverse events occurred in 17222 (7.7%) patients, the largest portion of which were surgical complications ( n =7246; 3.3%). Multivariable analysis revealed that being of Asian race was protective against perioperative complications [odds ratio (OR)=0.71; P <0.001], whereas American Indian/Alaska Native women were most vulnerable to the complication occurrence (OR=1.41; P <0.001). Black/African American patients had a significantly lower risk of medical (OR=0.59; P <0.001) and surgical complications (OR=0.60; P <0.001) after partial and radical mastectomy, respectively, their likelihood of readmission (OR=1.14; P =0.045) following partial mastectomy was significantly increased. The authors identified American Indian/Alaska Native women as particularly vulnerable to complications following mastectomy. Asian patients experienced the lowest rate of complications in the perioperative period. The authors' analyses revealed comparable confounder-adjusted outcomes following partial and complete mastectomy between Black and white races. Their findings call for care equalization in the field of breast cancer surgery.

Rural hospital and obstetric unit closures as social determinants of racial and ethnic maternal health disparities: A scoping review.

To synthesize literature examining (1) rural hospital or obstetric unit closures as a social determinant of maternal/infant health outcomes and (2) closures as a social determinant of racial/ethnic disparities in maternal/infant health outcomes. Scoping review. MEDLINE, OVID/Embase and CINAHL were searched systematically to identify sources from 31 July 2003 to 31 July 2023. The Arksey and O'Malley methodology for scoping reviews was used. Four studies from the United States and Australia documented the impact of rural hospital or obstetric unit closures on maternal/infant health outcomes, such as increased births in hospitals without obstetric units, out-of-hospital births or babies born before arrival, preterm birth, infant mortality and sociocultural risks that contribute to clinical risk. No eligible studies investigated hospital or obstetric unit closure as a social determinant of racial disparities in rural maternal/infant health outcomes. Despite significant racial and ethnic rural maternal health disparities, associations between rural closures and maternal health outcomes for racial and ethnic minorities are understudied. More research is needed to understand the extent to which rural closures, a social determinant of health, could disproportionately, negatively affect the health of racially and ethnically minoritized women. Rural women have a greater risk of maternal and infant mortality and morbidity compared with urban women, and the impact of rural closures on racial and ethnic maternal health disparities is not well documented. Research about the impact of rural closures on maternal health disparities could inform policy to assure essential obstetric care is available for rural populations globally. Findings provide a call to action for research to understand relationships between rural closures and racial and ethnic maternal health disparities, which is especially important for serving rural Non-Hispanic Black and American Indian/Alaska Native women. No patient or public contribution.

Abstract B127: The impact of sociodemographic and lifestyle factors on the vaginal microbiome and cervical cancer disparities in Native American women

Abstract Cervical cancer morbidity and mortality are continually experienced by Native American women compared to white women. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection and can cause cervical cancer in women when HPV is not cleared by an individual. Depletion of Lactobacillus species in the vaginal microbiome (VMB) is linked to HPV acquisition and persistence of HPV infection and development/progression of cervical neoplasm. Most Lactobacillus spp. protect the host against invading pathogens of the genital mucosa, including the cervix. Changes in the VMB composition to dysbiotic anaerobes decrease an individual’s ability to clear HPV, increasing susceptibility to malignancy. Depletion of Lactobacilli is associated with race and ethnicity, despite research showing genetics to be statistically similar across ethnicities. However, there may be other factors that drive changes in the microbiome, including demographic, socio-economic, lifestyle and sexual &amp; reproductive health factors. Here, we aim to determine which demographic, socioeconomic, lifestyle and sexual &amp; reproductive health factors impact the microbial community within the VMB, regardless of race and ethnicity. These factors have not been studied in the context and inclusion of NA women. In this study, 31 women at the Native American for Community Action Clinic in Flagstaff, Arizona, U.S. were enrolled, and participants completed self-reported surveys. The survey assessed the individual’s socioeconomic, demographics, lifestyle, reproductive health, as well as their knowledge on HPV and VMB. Vaginal swabs were also collected for microbiome analysis via 16S rRNA sequencing. Surveys were collected and stored in REDCap. Surveys were statistically analyzed using t-test, Fisher’s exact, or Chi-square tests. Most women identified as NA (n=16), white (n=13), and Hispanic (n=5). We identified bacterial profiles of 28 of the 31 participants to be Lactobacillus-dominant (n=16) and non-Lactobacillus-dominant (n=12) and stratified them into two groups. Significant differences were observed, suggesting association of multiple people in a household (p=0.0228), lower level of education (p=0.0093), and high parity (p=0.0283) to undesirable non-Lactobacillus-dominant VMB. It is noteworthy that there were no differences between groups regarding race/ethnicity, age, body mass index, marital status, employment status, household income, hrHPV positivity, vaccination status, use of contraceptives, sexual activity, number of partners and knowledge of HPV and VMB. Yet, the non-Lactobacillus group tended to have more women with high-risk HPV infection. Ongoing analysis includes global health and perceived stress data in relation to the VMB and HPV status. Upon full analysis, we will report on trends between the VMB composition and sociodemographic, lifestyle factors and quality of life. The findings will improve ways for people to find solutions to decrease HPV infections and cervical cancer in Native American populations.

Implementasi Program Anti-dowry UN Women dalam Upayanya Mengatasi Permasalahan Dowry Death, India (2016-2021)

This article focuses on the anti-dowry program efforts carried out by UN Women in an effort to overcome the dowry problem in India. There are many cases of requests for dowry by grooms that are misused, causing women in India to experience discrimination and many deaths due to dowry or so-called dowry deaths. Therefore, United Nation Women as a UN entity that focuses on gender equality takes a role in contributing to dealing with dowry problems. This article aims to find out how international efforts, especially UN Women and the Non-Governmental Organization Corporation and Assistance for Relief Everywhere (CARE), have implemented the anti-dowry program which has been implemented since 2016-202 with a program focus in the fields of advocacy, education, economy and health. In order to approach this problem, the theory of feminism, the concept of human rights (HAM), and international organizations are used. This research was written using a qualitative descriptive method with secondary data source collection techniques using document analysis and library research. This study concludes that the anti-dowry program implemented can influence the reduction in the rate of gender discrimination and the number of deaths due to dowry in India.

Wiidookaage'Win: A Community-Based Qualitative Approach to Developing a Facebook Group Intervention for Native Women to Support Recovery From Opioid Use.

To develop a culturally-tailored American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) women's Facebook group supporting opioid recovery as an adjunct to medication. Community-based, qualitative approach. Minnesota, U.S. AI/AN women in opioid recovery, interested parties, and a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) of AI/AN women with lived experience, health care providers, and community members. We developed evidence-based content focusing on stress/trauma and substance use, mindfulness, responding to triggers, and supportive community resources. Additional content centered on AI/AN culture was also selected. Interviews were conducted by two women, then transcribed and coded using content analysis with NVivo software. Results were presented to CAC for further content refinement. CAC members (n = 10) guided study methods, intervention development, and dissemination activities. 14 AI/AN women (mean age 36.4 years; mean 6.7 months opioid abstinence) and 12 interested parties (7 men, 5 women) were receptive to an AI/AN gender-specific Facebook group, preferring content with AI/AN people and/or text resonating with AI/AN culture (e.g., Native traditions, family, personal stories, historical trauma). Recommendations included (1) protect confidentiality, (2) retain positivity, (3) incorporate resources and exercises to build coping skills, and (4) moderators should be authentic and relatable to build trust. Our approach provides a model for developing culturally tailored, appealing and effective social media interventions to support AI/AN women in recovery from opioid use disorder.

Breast cancer screening attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors of Zuni Pueblo women: identifying cornerstones for building effective mammogram screening intervention programs

PurposeBreast cancer is the leading form of cancer and has the second highest mortality rate of cancers for American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) women. Early screening is critical. This study examines the breast cancer-related knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors of Zuni women in the Southwest United States (U.S.).MethodsIn 2020 and 2021, a survey was administered to better understand cancer screening patterns in Zuni Pueblo; 110 women from 50 to 75 years of age were recruited to respond to the breast cancer screening portion. Inclusion criteria included self-identifying as AI, a member of the Zuni tribe, or married to a Zuni tribal member, and meeting the age and gender requirements. Descriptive statistics and bivariate analyses were conducted examining the associations between measures of breast cancer knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors and breast cancer screening status (never, ever/non-compliant, and ever/compliant).ResultsOf survey participants, 47.3% have had a breast cancer screening and are up-to-date, 39.1% have had a screening in the past but are not up-to-date, and 13.6% have never been screened. Age was the only statistically significant socioeconomic predictor of breast cancer screening; the median (interquartile range) ages of each group are 62 (54, 68) ever/compliant, 56 (54, 68) ever/non-compliant, and 53 (51, 55) never (p-value < 0.001). Significant differences by health status and access to medical care include having a regular health care provider and going to see a provider for routine check-ups. The survey also shows differences in knowledge about breast cancer risk factors, beliefs, and behaviors. Women across all three screening statuses reported that they would get screened if encouraged by a health care provider.ConclusionWhile survey respondents report a relatively high rate of ever having had a breast cancer screening, less than half are compliant with screening guidelines, which shows there is an opportunity to improve breast cancer screening rates. With culturally tailored interventions, providers have the potential to improve breast cancer screening for Zuni women.

Aboriginal Language Revival

Aboriginal language revival is a recent phenomenon in Australia (Rigney 2006; Troy 2012). Prior to British colonisation, Australia had over 250 distinct languages that could be subdivided into 600-700 dialects, clearly, Australia was composed of ‘multicultural and multilingual societies’ (Rigney 2006, 385). Today only 18 Indigenous languages are spoken by all generations of people within a given language group (Social Justice Report 2009). &#x0D; In response to the urgent need to protect Indigenous languages, in August 2009, the Australian Government launched for the first time a strategy titled Indigenous Languages - A National Approach 2009 (Social Justice Report 2009). It highlighted the Government’s plan to preserve and revitalise Indigenous languages through targeted actions. More recently, in 2016 the state of New South Wales introduced Indigenous languages in the secondary school curriculum, with other states following. Australian universities are increasingly offering tertiary courses (Bagshaw, 2015). Subsequently, the Aboriginal Languages Act 2017 was passed in New South Wales with a 5-year plan to reawaken and nurture Aboriginal languages. &#x0D; Meanwhile, Australian Aboriginal women play a key role in reclaiming language and their voice in the policy arena by contributing to radical pedagogies and healing through language revival programs. To this end, Indigenous scholars in Australia see their work as drawing on generations of women, particularly in the context of Grandmother’s Laws, and their contribution to resistance, challenge to stereotypes and focus on survival as an outcome (Watson 2015; Behrendt 2019). Grandmother’s law is part of Indigenous law where men and women hold equal positions with reciprocal rights and responsibilities for maintaining societal equilibrium in their own Nations and in their own languages. These interdependent roles are designated as women’s and men’s law and are also referred to as “Women’s Business” (Burarrwanga 2019, p.72) and “Men’s Business” (Canuto et al. 2018). “Grandfathers look outwardly, protecting home community, Land and camp” (Wall 2017). Grandmothers look inwardly, teaching and nurturing younger generations in having respect and responsibility to care for Country, to benefit both Land and people and to maintain cultural connection with family, language, and Land (Wall 2017). &#x0D; As a result, competing tensions exist in the area of Indigenous language learning with government policies on the one hand providing western models for language learning within educational institutions while on the other, Indigenous community led structures are informing vital ways of re-centring language pathways. &#x0D; The aim of this paper is to build on and contribute to work in the area of Indigenous languages in Australia by examining the intersectionality relevant to the revival of an Indigenous language in order to understand the ways in which different forms of language knowledges intersect and interact to shape experiences of oppression and privilege to address and challenge systemic forms of inequality and discrimination. It draws on a framework that is informed by the relation between knowledge and pedagogy (Apple 1993; Aronowitz &amp; Giroux 1985) and by Indigenous pedagogy frameworks (Watson &amp; Heath, 2004; Watson, 2015). This framework acts as a useful, yet destabilising factor that brings into question how teachers teach and what systems of knowledge are applied. &#x0D; The study draws on interviews with Indigenous educators in both an Australian educational institution and a community context to examine the relation between people and society in the process of language revival as well as the challenges posed and solutions offered by the way various forms of language knowledges intersect.

Abstract 17669: Prevailing Racial, Regional, and Income-Based Disparities in Cardiovascular Outcomes in Postmenopausal Women Hospitalized With SARS-CoV-2 in 2020

Introduction: Racial, regional, and income disparities have been shown to impact cardiovascular outcomes in postmenopausal women with SARS-CoV-2. Addressing these disparities can improve healthcare equity and outcomes for this vulnerable population. Methods: A retrospective cohort study utilized data from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS)-2020 to examine female patients aged over 55 years who were admitted to hospitals in 2020. The study focused on primary endpoints, specifically major cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) including all-cause mortality, AMI, cardiac arrest, and stroke. Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between demographic factors and cardiovascular outcomes, after controlling for confounding variables. Results: Of the total 547,225 postmenopausal women hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2, 19.8% had MACCE. Racial disparities were significant, as Native American, Hispanic, Asian and African American women exhibited higher rates of MACCE compared to Caucasian women, with odds ratios (OR) of 1.63 (95% CI: 1.33-1.98, p&lt;0.001), 1.25 (95% CI: 1.18-1.32, p&lt;0.001), 1.17 (95% CI: 1.07-1.28, p&lt;0.001), and 1.11 (95% CI: 1.06-1.17, p&lt;0.001), respectively. Regional variations were also observed, with the Northeast region demonstrating a higher prevalence of cardiovascular complications compared to the West (OR: 1.22, 95% CI: 1.14-1.32, p&lt;0.001). Additionally, income level played a significant role, as women from the first- and second-income quartiles had higher MACCE rates compared to those in the fourth quartile (OR: 1.19, 95% CI: 1.12-1.26, p&lt;0.001; OR: 1.09, 95% CI: 1.03-1.15, p&lt;0.001). Conclusions: This study reveals significant racial, regional, and income disparities in cardiovascular outcomes among postmenopausal women with SARS-CoV-2. Targeted interventions and further research are necessary to improve healthcare equity and outcomes in vulnerable populations.

Recent advancement of nanomedicine-based targeted delivery for cervical cancer treatment.

Cervical cancer is a huge worldwide health burden, impacting women in impoverished nations in particular. Traditional therapeutic approaches, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, frequently result in systemic toxicity and ineffectiveness. Nanomedicine has emerged as a viable strategy for targeted delivery of therapeutic drugs to cancer cells while decreasing off-target effects and increasing treatment success in recent years. Nanomedicine for cervical cancer introduces several novel aspects that distinguish it from previous treatment options such as tailored delivery system, precision targeting, combination therapies, real-time monitoring and diverse nanocarriers to overcome the limitations of one another. This abstract presents recent advances in nanomedicine-based tailored delivery systems for the treatment of cervical cancer. Liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, dendrimers, and carbon nanotubes have all been intensively studied for their ability to transport chemotherapeutic medicines, nucleic acids, and imaging agents to cervical cancer cells. Because of the way these nanocarriers are designed, they may cross biological barriers and preferentially aggregate at the tumor site, boosting medicine concentration and lowering negative effects on healthy tissues. Surface modification of nanocarriers with targeting ligands like antibodies, peptides, or aptamers improves specificity for cancer cells by identifying overexpressed receptors or antigens on the tumor surface. Furthermore, nanomedicine-based techniques have made it possible to co-deliver numerous therapeutic drugs, allowing for synergistic effects and overcoming drug resistance. In preclinical and clinical investigations, combination treatments comprising chemotherapeutic medicines, gene therapy, immunotherapy, and photodynamic therapy have showed encouraging results, opening up new avenues for individualized and multimodal treatment regimens. Furthermore, the inclusion of contrast agents and imaging probes into nanocarrier systems has enabled real-time monitoring and imaging of treatment response. This enables the assessment of therapy efficacy, the early diagnosis of recurrence, and the optimization of treatment regimens.

Disparities in Obstetric, Neonatal, and Birth Outcomes Among Syrian Women Refugees and Jordanian Women.

Objectives: To compare obstetric and neonatal characteristics and birth outcomes between Syrian refugees and native women in Jordan. Methods: We used the Jordan Stillbirths and Neonatal Deaths Surveillance System to extract sociodemographic and obstetric characteristics of the mothers and birth characteristics of newborns. Multivariate analysis was used to compare the characteristics of 26,139 Jordanian women (27,468 births) and 3,453 Syrian women refugees (3,638 births) who gave birth in five referral hospitals (May 2019 and December 2020). Results: The proportions of low birthweight (14.1% vs. 11.8%, p < 0.001) and small for gestational age (12.0% vs. 10.0%, p < 0.001) newborns were significantly higher for those born to Syrian women compared to those born to Jordanian women. The stillbirth rate (15.1 vs. 9.9 per 1,000 births, p = 0.003), the neonatal death rate (21.2 vs. 13.2 per 1,000 live births, p < 0.001), and perinatal death rate (21.2 vs. 13.2 per 1,000 births, p < 0.001) were significantly higher for the Syrian births. After adjusting for sociodemographic and obstetric characteristics of women, only perinatal death was statistically significantly higher among Syrian babies compared to Jordanian babies (OR = 1.3, 95% CI: 1.1-1.7, p = 0.035). Conclusion: Syrian refugee mothers had a significantly higher risk of adverse obstetric and neonatal outcomes including higher rate of perinatal death compared to Jordanian women.

Pay and Performance in Men’s and Women’s Football: Comparing the MLS and NWSL

Abstract: The purpose of this research is two-fold; first, to assess whether men and women football players “perform the same work,” as required for wage discrimination, and second, to compare pay and performance for men and women players in the top professional soccer leagues in the US. We utilize data from Major League Soccer and the National Women’s Soccer League over the period 2016 through 2019 to compare how performance translates into team success in the two leagues and to forecast the salaries of women players for comparison with the men. Our results show that the determinants of win production are the same for the men’s and women’s teams, indicating that men and women do similar work. Additionally, the average woman player would earn more than the average male player if performance were compensated the same way in both leagues for the same number of games.

Native American Female Playwrights And Their Role In Growth And Development Of Native American Drama: An Overview

The Native American Literature has its root in the form of oral storytelling tradition before Europeans arrived on Native American lands. It was then in the 18th century it developed into written literature. Early Native American writers used poetry, novel, and autobiography to express their feelings for human rights, lands, culture, sovereignty, and their community. Despite its rich legacy, Native American drama faced challenges and hardly received its recognition as a genre in later half of the twentieth century. Not only men playwrights, but also scholarly and prolific Native American women playwrights have contributed significantly to the success of Native American theatre. Their unique writing styles and contributions are equally important as male playwrights. The present paper studies Native American drama with the aim to find out the contribution of Native American women playwrights to Native American theatre and drama. The present study being interpretive and descriptive in nature hence it has applied close reading and interpretation of the primary and secondary sources.
