The postpartum period, commonly defined as the 6 weeks after childbirth, is a critical time for a woman and her infant as it sets the stage for long-term health and well-being. During this period, a woman is adapting to multiple physical, psychological, and social changes that can present considerable challenges such as sleep deprivation, fatigue, stress, and exacerbation of mental health disorders [1]. These challenges may be magnified when the woman is also living with epilepsy. She is recovering from childbirth, adjusting to hormonal changes, and caring for a newborn while self-managing her epilepsy.
The social identity approach offers a more parsimonious and more comprehensive explanation for historical myths’ assumed coalition-building function than the target article's proposed mechanism based on fitness interdependence. Target article's assertion that social identity theory cannot explain certain characteristics of historical myths is based on a narrow interpretation of the social identity approach.
This chapter defines and studies stable categories of additive categories with a focus on the stable categories associated to a given cotorsion pair. It is shown that for any complete cotorsion pair, or even Ext-pair, there are four additive functors between stable categories. First there are the right and left approximation functors, obtained by taking special precovers and preenvelopes. The other two functors constructed are the suspension and loop functors.
The chapter examines the crisis of the First World War, battlefield action, the war’s impact on patterns of domestic conflict, and the reasons for Germany’s defeat.
The Introduction defines the book’s major concepts, such as belonging with, elucidates its major keywords – movement, listening, radiance, resuscitating, restoring, and recycling, and explains its foundational ideas and methodology. These intertwine feminist, historical, ecological, and subject–object analyses to underpin how diminishing women and objects is a related activity. Second, it establishes how texts heal injurious mergings between women and matter and jettison the supposed “female virtues” – dissimulation and passivity – in order to embrace actual ethical beliefs and independence, reconnect women’s corporeality, reason, spirit, sexuality, and virtue, rendering these cooperating, rather than sparring, bodies. Third, it argues that these materialist ethics reveal how consumption can be constructive, a finding that disputes mainstream concerns that women were merely thoughtless consumers. Finally, it illuminates how the political and personal need to incarnate ideals by rendering concrete such abstractions as the “rights of man” entwines with gender debates and subject–object explorations during the revolutionary years.
With local domestication, a theme from Chapter 6, rice becomes something to consider – was it domesticated in India or not, and how does the Indus play a role in this narrative? By carefully exploring the types of evidence available (biogeographies, genetics, archaeological and archaeobotanical), Chapter 7 takes a methodical approach to this highly disputed topic.
Chapter 2 explores Pentecostal ethics, and how urban Pentecostal churches in Rwanda attempted to Pentecostalise ubwenge, a traditional concept often translated as ‘intelligence’, ‘wisdom’, or even ‘cunning’. It traces discursive attempts on the part of Pentecostal pastors to show that the ‘spirit of intelligence’ (umwuka w’ubwenge) had divine origins. Moving from discourse to practice, the chapter also considers how young Pentecostals employed ubwenge in their own lives, using it to navigate relationships both within the church and with the state.
To begin a tour of research on implicit bias, the construct must be defined conceptually and operationally, and Section 1 does just that. As we shall see, the accumulated literature has been characterized by definitional divergences that merit investigation and resolution.
Few people living at that time would have had an inkling as to the importance of Chicago's 1893 World Parliament of Religions in the history of modern South Asia. Every school student in India will have read in their history textbooks about the big event in Chicago more than a century ago that gave to Indian history the figure of Swami Vivekananda, considered by many to be the founder of modern Hinduism. And yet, neither was the parliament a very unique event—there had been many efforts at inter-faith dialogue—nor was the Columbia world exposition, a gigantic exhibition of colonial and industrial wares organized to commemorate the ‘discovery’ of the Americas by Christopher Columbus 400 years earlier, the first of its kind. We can only guess that there was something fortuitous about the particular historical moment that allowed a struggling monk to gain fame and reputation that even he never expected, which in turn became the foundation for his subsequent renown and after-life in India.
By the 1870s and 1880s, the emerging professional middle class, or the bhadralok, in Bengal, the oldest British province in the Indian colony, found themselves caught between the ‘myths of improvement’ of the Bengal Renaissance and ‘nationalist deliverance’. The resulting ideological ferment led many members of the bhadralok to engage with, and fashion, new forms of public discourse, social respectability, aesthetics and morality, attendant gender and community norms, and, eventually, political mobilization. This powerful Indian, western-educated elite debated not only some of the most fashionable ideas and theories of the day like Darwinism, comparative religions and nationalism but also generated new ideas about Indian history, civilizations and social reform in a colonial milieu. In fact, as Tanika Sarkar argues, religion, family and community norms became sites of self-fashioning for the emerging intelligentsia. The bhadralok class comprised government servants, professionals, scholars, men of commerce and men of the arts, who constituted a self-appointed ‘native’ intelligentsia.
But the 1890s were an especially formative decade. The age of consent controversy had whipped up a public frenzy in Calcutta, which served as a foundation for future nationalist activity. Elsewhere, in north India, it was a decade of violent communal rioting between Hindus and Muslims as the cow protection movement gained ground.
The chapter surveys the nationalization of politics after 1890, particularly the impact of naval-building and its financial costs. It also analyzes the patterns of voting behavior.
