Mother’s perceptions of healthy diet for children in Ukraine

Multiple chronic diseases could be prevented by introducing and implementing healthy diet policies oriented for preschool children in the time of setting life-long habits. The role of mothers is highlighted to be crucial for a preschooler’s diet. It was important to conduct research to explore and investigate mothers’ perceptions of healthy diet for children in small towns in Ukraine. The study applies the qualitative methodology of semi-structured interviews using the strategy of a snowball and maximum variation sampling approaches interviewing mothers of preschool children in Lubny (Poltava Region, Ukraine) including local- and national-level health experts. As the research instrument, a topic guide was developed. It is based on the categories of analysis. The study displays that there is a variety of perceptions around healthy diet among interviewed mothers and health experts. It was also confirmed by previous studies that the mothers’ perceptions of a healthy diet for children are highly linked to socio-demographic characteristics which was found in the article. Common for all interviewed mothers was the perception about fresh fruits and vegetables consumption as the additional component of the child’s diet, but not the basis. None of the mothers was fully aware of World Health Organisation recommendations for a healthy diet. Based on the results, we conclude that mothers of preschool children in Lubny may be grouped into three main types by their perceptions about healthy diet: 1) the conservative type (mothers who prefer traditional meals for children and have a high level of trust to medical doctors and institutions in Lubny); 2) the loyal type (mothers have the same perceptions about healthy diet as conservative yet with a high loyalty to junk food in children’s diet); 3) the critical type (mothers who reported different from conservative type perceptions about healthy diet and tend to have low level of trust to the medical doctors and institutions in Lubny). The study represents findings relevant for Lubny and Poltava Region in Ukraine. Further research is needed to provide more data for a better understanding of perceptions about a healthy diet for children in Ukraine.

제2차 세계대전 기간 미국의 핀업 걸에 나타난 애국주의

During World War II, Pin-Ups played a big role in military propaganda. At the time, Pin-Ups weren’t just about comforting soldiers on the battlefield. Therein lay a uniquely American patriotism. In a liberal country like the United States, it is difficult to ask citizens to defend the country, so American politicians had to appeal to private obligations, first and foremost the moral obligations that exist between men and women. Pin-Ups were a useful tool to arouse men’s patriotism by conveying the message that they should defend their wives and girlfriends on the mainland.
 Meanwhile, American women were able to find their own new sexual identity through Pin-Ups. The conventions that confined women to the roles of wife and mother were broken during the war. New attributes of independence and assertiveness were spreading among American women. The Pin-Up Girl, an icon of the active and desirable woman, was a useful model for American women to create a new self.
 With the end of World War II and the return of men from overseas, the social climate for women returned to the past. A country that had actively supported women’s mobilization into the workforce during the war now began to tell women that it was their patriotic duty to return home. Women lost their place in the workplace and men-only magazines like Playboy became popular. However, the sense of liberation that American women experienced during the war, and the experience of living as full members of society, would later lead to the American women’s movement of the 1960s.

Representation of Parental Communication in Nanti Kita Cerita Tentang Hari ini (2020)

Family is the primary socialization agent, parents as important figures have the responsibility to educate and raise their children, one of which is through communication. But, in this day, there is still a lot of disharmonies in the family caused by several factors such as the lack of parental communication education from parents to children. On the other hand, a harmonious atmosphere can be built if there is an attitude of openness and good communication within the family, both verbally and non-verbally. Departing from this matter, the researcher further discussed the topic of family communication through the film, Nanti Kita Cerita Tentang Hari Ini as a reflection of similar cases in real life. This research uses Charles Sanders Pierce's semiotic method through signs, objects, and meanings. The results show that the father character has a dominant role with harsh communication that has a negative impact on the child, while the mother applies responsive communication that helps the growth of a positive personality in the child. Although the mother's role is not dominant, her parental communication serves as a balance to the father's communication in the family

A study on creating highly yielded and drought-tolerant QTL gene-possessed lines of peanut

In the trend of global climate changes and heavily occurring drought, particularly resulting in decreased productivity and cultivated areas of peanut production, the breeding and screening of highly yielded and drought-tolerant QTL gene-possessed peanut lines is considered a strategic and effective solution. In this study, the on-field assessment in combination with drought-tolerant gene screening was implemented and 6 peanut cultivars named TK10, Chum Nghe An, Sen Nghe An, L20, L23, and L14 were regarded as hybrid parents for the crossing-breeding program. Of 5 cross-breeding combinations (Chum Nghe An played the role of mother; 5 others were the fathers) 15 elite peanut lines of the F3 generation with high yield (over 29 quintals/ha) and 5 of them coded F3-6, F3-12 (Chum Nghe An × L23), F3-9, F3-10 (Chum Nghe An × Sen Nghe An), and F3-13 (Chum Nghe An × L14) possessed the locus for drought tolerance determined by electrophoresis technology. It is also particularly mentioned that all these lines had a good recovery (92.8-94.6, 84.4-88.4, and 80.0-83.4%, respectively), average productivity loss (30.56-34.10%), and good drought tolerance (point 3: G=21-40%).

“Will doe all in her power”: the role of women in the contested will of Henry Cavendish

ABSTRACT When the 2nd Duke of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Henry Cavendish died in 1691, he left behind one of the wealthiest estates in England. Having no male heir, he chose to leave his fortune to his favourite daughter Margaret. This decision was not well received by other family members, leading to a lengthy conflict culminating in court proceedings that attempted to contest the will. Utilising both judicial sources as well as personal correspondence, this paper examines the role and influence of the women within the Cavendish family in this process. It explores the methods by which they were able to participate both in and outside of court, and how they utilised both practical and emotional tactics to achieve their aims. This paper argues that the idealised roles of wife, mother and widow offered women a role of influence, lending credibility to their testimonies as well as enabling them to effectively manage family discord.

Stigmatizing commoning: How neoliberal hegemony eroded collective ability to deal with scarcity in Lebanon

AbstractThis paper examines how neoliberalism impedes the emergence of alternative organizations. Via a mix of (auto‐)ethnography and memory work, it explains how neoliberal values replacing more traditional ones eroded the collective capacity to bring solutions to scarcity problems in today's Lebanon. It points to the stigmatization of the role of mothers, who once were the “guardians” of organizing around commons, and the alternative values necessary for that. It shows how neoliberal values undermined relationships and decisions based on affect, and promoted individualization and market‐based expertise, thereby destroying the authority of traditional motherhood. Also, neoliberalism introduced the importance of branding and accumulation in a manner that made sharing very difficult. These changes in values prevented people who embraced neoliberal culture from benefiting from commoning practices in a context of scarcity. This happens at a time where scholars predict the end of the age of abundance and the importance of commoning as a social arrangement capable of ensuring overall well‐being. The paper concludes with a discussion of the necessity of de‐stigmatizing values that are not compatible with the neoliberal ideology for the sake of leaving open the possibility of organizing differently and adapting to a changing environment.

The art of resilience: a psychobiography of Frida Kahlo

This psychobiography of Frida Kahlo explores the psychology of the famous Mexican artist. Drawing upon Kahlo’s paintings and diary entries, a rich psychological analysis of the feminist icon is juxtaposed with the zeitgeist of 20th century Mexico. Framed through the theoretical model of feminist psychology, Kahlo’s role in promoting gender equality and dismantling patriarchal society is discussed. Physical pain resulting from illness and impalement by a metal pole in a trolley accident was matched, if not exceeded, by the psychological pain the artist felt due to resulting issues with fertility and the long-sought but never-realized role of motherhood, infidelity within her marriage, and the eventual loss of her ability to paint. Nevertheless, Kahlo’s perseverance and strength led to worldwide recognition of her bold and vibrant paintings, vulnerably depicting her rich inner world. The present study utilises perspectives from art therapy and attachment theory to elucidate the factors contributing to Frida Kahlo’s resilience in the face of lifelong trauma and chronic pain. Ultimately, Kahlo’s life and work offer valuable insight into the psychological experiences of women in patriarchal societies, emphasising the importance of feminist perspectives in psychological research and highlighting the healing and resilience-promoting role of art.

A Psychoanalytic Liberal Feminist Analysis of George Moore's "Esther Waters"

In the nineteenth-century English society, the public sphere is associated with rationality and man whereas the private sphere is identified with morality and woman. Being deprived of education and professions, women are given the roles of wife and mother. Liberal feminism emphasizes the equality of woman with man in legal and social life. In this sense, the standpoints of Mary Wollstonecraft, Harriet Taylor, and John Stuart Mill for women’s position are expressed. The analysis of the unconscious is important for examining the oppression that women are subjected to in patriarchal society. Thus the views of important psychoanalysts such as Sigmund Freud, Carl G. Jung, and Jacques Lacan are explained. This study examines women’s position in George Moore’s "Esther Waters" in terms of education and marriage with a psychoanalytic liberal feminist approach. Esther has an extramarital sex, has an illegitimate child and struggles financially for her son as a fallen woman. In this study, no matter how Esther tries to draw a libertarian and ‘New Woman’ profile, the patriarchal society in which she lives does not allow her to be liberated and she continues her life by being forced to marry.

Shouldering the burden: Intensive mothering and autism

AbstractObjectiveThe objective of this study was to identify the degree to which intensive mothering ideology corresponds to the perspectives and roles of mothers of young adults with autism.BackgroundPrevious research suggests that intensive mothering ideology shapes the perspectives and roles of mothers in general. However, few studies have examined how the ideology specifically relates to mothers of young adults with autism. Research is needed to understand the roles that mothers of young adults with autism assume within the context of intensive mothering.MethodIn‐depth interviews were conducted with a purposeful sample of 19 mothers of adult children with autism. Interview data were analyzed using a constructivist grounded theory approach.ResultsMothers devoted much time and effort to caring for or otherwise assisting their adult children with autism, assuming the roles of protector, advocate, and case manager. Mothers struggled to live up to the expectations of intensive mothering but, simultaneously, resented the degree to which they had to advocate and manage services for their adult children.ConclusionMothers may feel added pressure to meet the needs of adult children with autism. Many are susceptible to self‐blame and internalizing others' negative judgments of their parenting abilities, but some view themselves as good mothers based on the challenges they have overcome.ImplicationsService providers can adopt a family‐based approach to services for adults with autism and their families. Policymakers could explore opportunities to make the adult service system more attentive to the needs of caregivers.

The Relationship Between Mothers’ Knowledge about PHBS, Stunting, and Nutrition with Helminth Infection among Toddlers in Jember

Helminth infection are still a problem in the world. According to WHO, children aged 1-4 years have a high morbidity of helminthic infections. The number of Helminthinfections in children is influenced by several factors, one of which is PHBS (Clean and Healthy Living Behavior). In addition, children who are stunted or malnourished are prone to Helminthinfections. This can be prevented with the role of mother's knowledge regarding PHBS, stunting, and nutrition. This study aims to analyze the relationship between mother's knowledge about PHBS, stunting, and nutrition with Helminths in toddlers in Jelbuk District, Jember Regency. This research has a type of observational analytic research with a cross-sectional design. The population consists of mothers who have toddlers aged 12-59 months in Jelbuk District, Jember Regency. The sampling technique used consecutive sampling and obtained 69 mothers. Knowledge obtained from interviews using a questionnaire. Helminthinfections in toddlers are obtained from stool examination using flotation techniques. Data analysis using Mann Whitney. The results showed that there were 4 toddlers (5.7%) who had Helminth infections. 3 toddlers were infected with Ascaris lumbricoides (4.34%) and the rest were hookHelminths (1.44%). The majority of mothers have good knowledge on all indicators of knowledge of PHBS and nutrition, but lack of knowledge on stunting. Analysis using the Mann Whitney test showed that there was a relationship with Helminths only on 2 indicators of PHBS, namely smoking (Sig.(2-tailed)=0.036) and house cleanliness (Sig.(2-tailed)=0.027). The conclusion of this study is that there is a relationship between knowledge of house hygiene and smoking with Helminths in children under five and there is no relationship between knowledge of healthy latrines, clean water, garbage disposal, consumption of fruit vegetables, stunting, and nutrition..

Gendered youth transitions in local jihad in Indonesia: negotiating agency in arranged marriage

ABSTRACT In accounts of local Islamist jihad, little attention has been directed to how young women exercise agency when they face arranged marriages with jihadi fighters. They undergo a different kind of life transition, one that has rarely been examined in youth studies. This paper reports on a study of how young female Muslims in arranged marriages with mujahidin men navigated their transitions to adulthood in Eastern Indonesia. The study employed an ethnographic approach, including live-in observation and interviews. The data was analysed using a biographical narrative approach. We found that some young local women were married off to previously unknown mujahidin men. As the Muslim–Christian conflict raged around them, they navigated their roles of wife and mother while embedded in a jihadi network justified by Islamist ideology. Later, following the arrest of their husbands, they gained some agency and asserted a more independent adulthood by actively shaping their own life trajectories. The analysis extends our broader knowledge of (female) youth transitions in civil conflict situations in the Global South.

Balancing Work and Early Childhood Education: Exploring the Double Burden Faced by Working Mothers During the Covid-19 Pandemic in Malaysia

This research paper focuses on the concept of the double burden or second shift expereinced by women in the context of paid amd unpaid labor, with a particular emphasis on the role of mothers. Historically, women have shouidered various reponsibilities related to their children, ensuring their well-being and development. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequesnt government-imposed lockdown measures have added a new challenge for working women with pre-schoolers: facilitating their education at home. This task proves particularly demanding as pre-schoolers heavily rely on adult assisstance and e-learning platforms. Moreover, the bundaries between work and home have become increasingly blurred for mothers working from home, intensifyig expectations and blending various responsibilities within a single shift. To shed light on this issue, this article presents insights obtained from semi-structure interviews conducted with 20 working women in Malaysia who have pre-school-aged children. Specifically, the research explores the active involvement of women in supporting pre- schoolers’ online education, their perceptions of online educational methods employed by kindergartens, strategies for facilitating pre-schoolers’ learning experiences, and coping mechanisms employed by working mothers in handling the challenges of online education for pre-schoolers. Through this study, a comprehensiveunderstanding of the experiences and perspectives of working women with pre-schoolers in Malaysia during the COVID-19 pandemic is achieved. The findings contribute to the existing knowledge on the double burden faced by women, shedding light on the unique challenges arising from the increased responsibilities related to pre-schoolers’ online education. Ultimately, the research aims to uniform policymakers, educators, and employers about the specific needs and support required by working mothers to ensure a more equitable distribution of responsibilities and enhancework-life balance in times of crisis.

Experiences of Japanese women simultaneously caring for children and older people: An ethnographic study

BackgroundJapan has experienced a rapid decline in birth rate and an aging population, coupled with women choosing to delay having children. Family carers are therefore increasingly expected to accept simultaneous responsibilities for both children and parents. This responsibility often falls on women in Japan, but little is known about their views. This study aimed to understand how Japanese women who are simultaneously responsible for caring for children and older people perceive their experiences. MethodsThis was an ethnographic study conducted in central Japan. Over a period of 3 years and 5 months, we observed 19 people active in a peer support group for people with both childcare and caregiving responsibilities. We also carried out individual interviews with 14 Japanese women who were raising children and caring for parents or parents-in-law. ResultsFive key themes emerged. These were “Accepting both childcare and caregiving as my role,” “Inability to fulfill the role of mother,” “Being supported by children and grandparents,” “Unable to talk to anyone about the pressures of caregiving,” and “Realizing that caregiving is not the only way to live.” ConclusionsJapanese women who provided care to both children and older people were influenced by traditional Japanese values. However, they had a sense of mission and accepted the role of providing for their families. They felt guilty about not being able to fulfill their role as mothers, and were lonely, with no one to understand or advise them. If the burden of caregiving is concentrated on women, there is an increased risk that their children will become involved in providing some of the care for older people. It may therefore be necessary to develop a support system for female carers, and to increase understanding of the potential harm of placing caregiving responsibility solely on women.

DINAMIKA PERAN KELUARGA DALAM PENCEGAHAN STUNTING: ANALISIS KUALITATIF PADA KELUARGA BERPENDAPATAN RENDAH DI KAWASAN URBAN

This study aims to analyze the role of families in preventing stunting among low-income families in urban areas. The research methodology employed was qualitative analysis, gathering data through in-depth interviews and participatory observation. The study participants consisted of low-income families with toddlers in urban areas. The findings reveal that families play a significant role in preventing stunting. The role of mothers is particularly crucial in providing exclusive breastfeeding, ensuring balanced dietary intake, and providing proper care. Social support from family and the community also plays a vital role in stunting prevention. Social-cultural factors such as eating norms, nutritional knowledge, accessibility to nutritious food, and the family environment influence eating behaviors and child care practices. Therefore, efforts to increase nutritional knowledge and awareness, improve accessibility to nutritious food, and strengthen the family's role are necessary to prevent stunting in urban areas, especially among low-income families.

Effect of Mothers’ Work-Family Gains on Children’s Communication: Dual Mediating Role of Mothers’ Permissive Parenting Practices and Children’s Media Dependency

Objectives: Recently, there has been a noticeable increase in mothers who juggle their jobs and raising children. This study examined the effect of mothers’ work-family gains on school-aged children’s communication skills. Specifically, we investigated how this influence is dual-mediated by mothers’ permissive parenting practices and children’s media dependency.Methods: This study utilized data from 10th version of the Panel Study of Korean Children (PSKC). Data were collected from 707 children (364 boys, 343 girls) and their working mothers. The average age of children was 9.4 (<i>SD</i> = 1.40). The study conducted descriptive, correlation, regression analyses, including bootstrapping, employing SPSS 27.0, and the PROCESS macro version 4.2 to examine the hypothesized dual mediation model.Results: First, mothers’ work-family gains negatively affected children’s communication skills. Second, mother’s work-family gains had decreased mother’s permissive parenting practices and children’s media dependency, but increased children’s communication skills. Therefore, variables showed partial mediation effect on their relationship. Third, the dual mediation effect of mothers’ permissive parenting practices and children’s media dependency had verified significant indirect effects with a 95% confidence interval.Conclusion: These findings indicate the critical role of the effects of mothers’ work-family gains on children’s communication skills, dual mediated by mother’s permissive parenting practices and children’s media dependency. These findings highlight the importance of focusing on mothers’ work-family gains rather than work-family conflicts. Moreover, this study provides an academic basis for examining the importance of mothers’ work-family gains on school-aged children, including working mothers of infants or young children.

Women's Activism and Mobilization in Wartime China: Cadre Training, National Economic Production, and Workers’ Literacy (1937–1945)

Abstract The mobilization of women pursued by the Women's Advisory Committee (Funü zhidao weiyuanhui 婦女指導委員會) during the war against Japan (1937–1945) has mainly been associated with the wider war effort in the country and resistance to the enemy. This article takes a different viewpoint and argues that the programs implemented by women activists in this committee looked beyond the immediate wartime necessity and tried to secure also long-term gains for women. The mobilization transcended traditional gender roles of wives and mothers and paid particular attention to the involvement of middle- and lower-class women. This article examines women's activism and mobilization in the context of three main areas: first, the women's cadre training in the wartime capital Chongqing and in provinces and counties across China; second, the national economic production; and third, the literacy campaigns conducted among women factory workers. It concludes that women activists knowingly used the wartime crisis to provide fellow women with the tools for securing economic and social independence while addressing the wartime emergencies.

Development and evaluation of the psychometric properties of a digital questionnaire for the self-management of health and well-being in the postpartum period

BackgroundDespite the fact that the Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health (2016–2030) recognises the special importance of care for women during the postpartum period, thus highlighting the need to identify and measure any condition that may affect the welfare of pregnant women in any way, this is one of the most neglected stages in the health system. Given the absence in our area of global, efficient instruments, the objective of this study was to design a complete, specific measurement tool with good metric qualities in digital format for the evaluation of self-reported health and well-being during the puerperium, to conform to what was proposed by the ICHOM.MethodsA cross-sectional study was carried out to evaluate the psychometric characteristics of a digital measurement tool. The development of the tool was carried out in 4 steps, following the recommendations of the International Test Commission. It was tested on 280 puerperas attending primary healthcare appointments in the Basque Healthcare System (Osakidetza), and they did the newly created survey, answering all the questions that had been selected as the gold standard. The average age of the women was 34.93 (SD = 4.80). The analysis of the psychometric characteristics was based on mixed procedures of expert judgment (a focus group of healthcare professionals, an item evaluation questionnaire and interviews with users) and quantitative evaluations (EFA, CFA, and correlation with gold standard, ordinal alpha and McDonald’s omega).ResultsThe final version of the tool comprised 99 items that evaluate functional state, incontinence, sexuality, breastfeeding, adaptation to the role of mother and mental health, and all of these questions can be used globally or partially. It was found that the scores were valid and reliable, which gives metric guarantees for using the tool in our area. ConclusionsThe use of this comprehensive concise tool with good psychometric properties will allow women to take stock of their situation, assess if they have the necessary resources, in psychological and social terms, and work together with midwives and other healthcare professionals on the most deficient areas.
