Abstract

Pregnancy is such a condition which poses great stress in the physiology of a women leading to various complications and discomforts. This is such a stage where medicines need to be avoided as far as possible. Hence traditional practices play a major role especially in the case of tribal people as they live in far away and remote places where reaching to medical care requires time . This study was conducted on Gaddi tribe of Bhawarana block in Kangra District of Himachal Pradesh. The objective of the study was to document the traditional dietary practices followed  to manage discomforts and complications faced by pregnant women. For this study, 100 tribal women of 40 years and above from  four villages were interviewed with the belief that these women would have vast experience and knowledge of the ancient traditions as compared to those who delivered babies recently (Past 1 or 2 years). The documented practices were further validated scientifically by the experts from the fields of  Nutrition, Gynecology and Ayurveda on three point continuum as scientific, unscientific and uncertain. The information from experts were collected using questionnaire technique. The traditional practices were also validated through  Ayurvedic documents. The dietary practices followed to manage discomforts and complications during pregnancy among tribal people were followed   based on the hot and cold nature of foods

Abstract

The article analyses survey and elections results from Afrobarometer and the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC), respectively, to demonstrate the relationship between the worsening public trust deficits in institutions of the state, constitutional democracy, and politics, on the one hand, and the ruling ANC’s declining electoral fortunes. It asserts that South Africa’s democratic experiment, under the ANC’s 28 years state governance, was placed on the precipice of civil strife; and, that the July 2021 violent public unrest, destruction of infrastructure and pillage points to ominous signposts of popular citizenry acceptance of anarchy. The article offers three concluding remarks, thus: the ruling ANC’s declining electoral fortunes will be hard to halt and reverse because whereas it is easy to lose public trust, it is hard to regain and uphold; the ANC’s conduct of the 28 years state governance has set South Africa’s democratic experiment on the precipice of ominous signposts of civil strife as societal political leadership vacuum is formed and consolidated; and, unless if the ANC reverts to undemocratic and/or fraudulent electoral conduct to stay in power, it will be decades before it recovers from the ongoing electoral slide. Finally, it recommends that the South African citizenry needs to ensure that the societal political leadership vacuum created by the erosion of public trust may not be consolidated and exploited by undemocratic forces to install unelected government.

Abstract

The present research work intended to study the effect of Gender, Occupational gender type and proportional numerical strength on the experience of Workplace Tokenism. According to Tokenism theory (Kanter, 1977), “Tokens” (those who comprise less than 15% of a group’s total) are expected to experience a variety of hardships in the workplace, such as feelings of Heightened Visibility, Isolation, and limited opportunities for advancement. Most previous studies have defined Tokenism narrowly in terms of proportional numerical strength at workplace. The present study extends the framework of prior research work by examining the experience of Workplace Tokenism as a function of Gender, Occupational Gender Typing (Gender Atypical/Gender Neutral or Non Atypical) and Proportional (Male-Female) Numerical Strength at workplace (Tokens/Non Tokens), with an examination of different groups of Males and Females in Gender Atypical and Gender Neutral/Non Atypical occupations as numerical Tokens and Non Tokens respectively. Total sample size was 40. Results depict a complex interaction of Gender, Gender type of Occupation and Male Female proportional numerical strength on the experienced Tokenism.
