Association of Television Watching Practices of Mothers on Overweight and Obesity of Their Under-5 Offspring in Urban Bangladesh

Childhood overweight and obesity, is an emerging public health concern in developing countries like Bangladesh. However, regular television watching by child’s mother and its impact on excess weight gain or overweight and obesity to their offspring is not reported elsewhere. The aim of the present analysis was to determine the socio-demographic characteristics among overweight and obese children based on those mothers who watch television regularly and compare this finding with malnourished and well-nourished under-5 children. A total of 20,800 under-5 children were enrolled during 1996 to 2012 in the Diarrheal Disease Surveillance System (DDSS) of Dhaka Hospital of International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (icddr,b). Mean weight-for-age z-score (–1.61 vs. –2.30;mean difference: ?0.69;p < 0.001), height-for-age z-score (–1.42 vs. –1.99;–0.57;<0.001), weight-for-height z-score (–1.59 vs. –1.07;–0.53;<0.001), BMI-for-age z-score (–1.09 vs. –1.61, –0.52;<0.001) differed significantly between the children whose mother did and did not watch television regularly. Under-5 children whose mother watched television regularly (2%) compared to those who did not (1%), had 2.28 [(95% CI-1.61 - 3.24) p < 0.001] times increased odds of being overweight and obese. Television watching of mothers is associated with childhood overweight and obesity and is one of the most public health concerns in Bangladesh. These changes may be in part of better socio-economic condition, changes in life style behaviour and dietary pattern.

We Watch: An Application for Watching Video Across Two Mobile Devices

In recent years, high-resolution video has developed rapidly and widescreen smart devices have become popular. We present an Android application called WeWatch that enables high-resolution video to be shared across two mobile devices when they are close to each other. This concept has its inspiration in machine-to-machine connections in the Internet of Things （loT）. We ensure that the two parts of the video are the same size over both screens and are synchronous. Further, a user can play, pause, or stop the video by moving one device a certain distance from the other. We decide on appropriate distances through experimentation. We implemented WeWatch on Android operating system and then optimize Watch so battery consumption is reduced. The user experience provided by WeWatch was evaluated by students through a questionnaire, and the reviews indicated that WeWatch does improve the viewing experience.

On the Incompleteness of Janie's Self in Their Eyes Were Watching God

Their Eyes Were Watching God is written by Zora Neale Hurston, an important figure in the Harlem Renaissance. Being her representative work, the novel depicts stories of the heroine Janie. It is generally believed that this novel indicates how African American women get their identity. However, in this paper, efforts are made to analyze the incompleteness of Janie's self based on a close reading. By using theories related with feminism, this paper argues that Janie's lack of self-awareness and her compromises in three marriages contribute to the incompleteness of her self. Besides, her voice has been neglected throughout the novel.

Ground level utility of Access, Watch, Reserve classification: Insights from a tertiary care center in North India

BACKGROUND The overuse and misuse of antimicrobials contribute significantly to antimicrobial resistance(AMR),which is a global public health concern.India has particularly high rates of AMR,posing a threat to effective treatment.The World Health Or-ganization(WHO)Access,Watch,Reserve(AWaRe)classification system was introduced to address this issue and guide appropriate antibiotic prescribing.However,there is a lack of studies examining the prescribing patterns of antimi-crobials using the AWaRe classification,especially in North India.Therefore,this study aimed to assess the prescribing patterns of antimicrobials using the WHO AWaRe classification in a tertiary care centre in North India.Ophthalmology,Obstetrics and Gynecology).Metronidazole and ceftriaxone were the most prescribed antibiotics.According to the AWaRe classification,57.61%of antibiotics fell under the Access category,38.27%in Watch,and 4.11%in Reserve.Most Access antibiotics were prescribed within the Medicine department,and the same department also exhibited a higher frequency of Watch antibiotics prescriptions.The questionnaire survey showed that only a third of participants were aware of the AWaRe classification,and there was a lack of knowledge regarding AMR and the potential impact of AWaRe usage.RESULTS The research was carried out in accordance with the methodology presented in Figure 1.A total of n=123 patients were enrolled in this study,with each of them receiving antibiotic prescriptions.The majority of these prescriptions were issued to inpatients(75.4%),and both the Medicine and Surgical departments were equally represented,accounting for 49.6%and 50.4%,respectively.Among the healthcare providers responsible for prescribing antibiotics,72%were Junior Residents,18.7%were Senior Residents,and 9.3%were Consultants.These findings have been summarized in Table 1.The prescriptions included 27 different antibiotics,with metronidazole being the most prescribed(19%)followed by ceftriaxone(17%).The mean number of antibiotics used per patient was 1.84±0.83.The mean duration of antibiotics prescribed was 6.63±3.83 days.The maximum number of antibiotics prescribed per patient was five.According to the AWaRe classification,57.61%of antibiotics fell under the Access,38.27%in Watch,and 4.11%in Reserve categories,suggesting appropriate antibiotic selection according to these criteria.The distribution of antibiotics prescribed according to the WHO AWaRe categories is presented in Figure 2.The difference in prescribing frequencies amongst departments can be noted.Most of the antibiotics prescribed in the Access category were from the Medicine department(75.4%),followed by Surgery(24.6%).For Watch antibiotics,Medicine had a higher proportion(63.4%)compared to Surgery(36.6%).In terms of seniority,Junior Residents prescribed the highest number of antibiotics for both Access and Watch categories in Medicine and Surgery departments.Senior residents and Consultants prescribed a lower number of antibiotics in all categories and departments.Only a few antibiotics were prescribed in the Reserve category,with most prescriptions being from the Medicine department.The study also evaluated the Knowledge and Awareness of Healthcare professionals towards the WHO AWaRe classi-fication through a questionnaire survey.A total of 93 participants responded to the survey.Among them,most parti-cipants were Junior Residents(69.9%),followed by Senior Residents(25.8%)and Faculty(4.3%).When enquired if they knew about the WHO AWaRe classification only 33.3%of the participants responded positively.Of those who were aware of the AWaRe classification,the most common source of information was the internet(31.2%),followed by the antimicrobial policy of their institution(15.1%)as seen in Table 2.The survey results on the knowledge and awareness of AMR among healthcare professionals are also presented in Tables 3 and 4.Out of the 93 participants,68(73.1%)agreed that the emergence of AMR is inevitable,while only 13(14.0%)disagreed that AWaRe usage will result in the inability to treat serious infections.Additionally,58(62.4%)agreed that it will lead to lengthier hospital stays,43(46.2%)agreed that the success of chemotherapy and major surgery will be hampered,and the majority also agreed that its use will lead to increased cost of treatment and increased mortality rates.Regarding the utilization of AWaRe in the hospital summarized in Tables 4 and 5,35.5%of the participants agreed that it should be used,while only 2.2%disagreed.Additionally,34.4%agreed that AWaRe reduces adverse effects of inappro-priate prescription.However,37.6%of the participants considered that AWaRe threatens a clinician's autonomy and 30.1%thought that its use can delay treatment.Additionally,the DDD of each drug was also evaluated.The usage of various antimicrobial drugs in a hospital setting,along with their daily doses and DDD according to the WHO's Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical classification system was calculated.Some of the important findings include high usage rates of ceftriaxone and metronidazole,and relatively low usage rates of drugs like colistin and clindamycin.Additionally,some drugs had wider ranges than others.Comparison of WHO defined DDD with Daily Drug dose(Mean)in the studied prescriptions is represented in the Clustered Bar chart in Figure 3.Finally,the Mean Daily Drug Dose for prescribed drugs was compared with WHO defined DDD for each drug using a Student’s T test.The mean daily drug dose of amoxy/clav was significantly higher than the WHO DDD(1.8 vs 1.50,P=0.014),while the mean daily drug dose of metronidazole and doxycycline were significantly lower than the WHO DDD(P<0.001 and P=0.008,respectively).The mean daily drug dose of piperacillin/tazobactam,amikacin,clindamycin,and levofloxacin did not show significant differences compared to the WHO DDD(P>0.05).CONCLUSION This research indicates an appropriate proportion of prescriptions falling under the Access category(57.61%),suggesting appropriate antibiotic selection,a significant proportion also belongs to the Watch category(38.27%),emphasizing the need for greater caution to prevent the escalation of AMR.There is a moderate level of awareness among healthcare professionals about AMR and the steps being taken to tackle it,highlighting the gap in implementation of policies and need for more steps to be taken in spreading the knowledge about the subject.However,there is a significant difference between the WHO DDD and the prescribed daily dose in the analysed prescriptions suggesting overuse and underuse of antibiotics.

Reassessing Human Rights VS Democracy of the Public:A Necessary Challenge?

Today,we are witnessing a profound transformation of the dominant model of representative democracy which is increasingly giving way to a new form of democracy of the public,as Bernard Manin defined it.In a democracy of the public,parties tend to personalise themselves,becoming machines serving one particular person,who embodies public feelings.Participation and social organization within the territory are progressively replaced by a widespread communication and social media framework where the citizens become just passive spectators.To this,we must add that the spectacularisation of the current democratic systems,adopted to satisfy the audience,leads to negative effects on the protection of fundamental rights.This article will analyse the aspects that characterise the democracies of the public,and their social and legal effects on the consideration of human rights.The article goes further without being limited to this issue.In fact,it wants to emphasise the way human rights are crucial to bolstering democracies,rather than merely the other way around.Doctrines and politics have frequently emphasised the need for democracy,and,more specifically,the export of democracies to advance human rights.Contrarily,a shift in perspective is required in order to preserve liberal democracies.

Human Rights in China:Exploration and Development of Whole-process People’s Democracy

Whole-process people’s democracy represents a new exploration of socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era as well as a novel and important method for protecting the human rights of the Chinese people.It is conducive to solving a multitude of problems hindering the protection of civil rights and political rights.The greatest highlight of whole-process people’s democracy is that the people are the masters of their own country and exercise the power to govern the state through“extensive participation and consultation.”China’s experience and approaches in advancing whole-process people’s democracy provide a reference for other countries.

共有、共治与共享:大模型技术的发展之路

大模型技术正在重塑人类社会,并可能产生出新的弱势群体。大模型技术的发展需要人民民主的价值理念,因为通过人民民主可以让那些新弱势群体在大模型技术发展过程中直接表达其诉求,通过温和谈判来缓和剧烈的利益冲突,同时用人民民主制度来保障大模型技术产生的效益被社会大众所共享。人民民主的内涵主要表现为以生产资料公有制为主体、人民共同参与政治和共享社会发展成果等内容,体现在大模型技术领域就是大模型技术的共有、共治和共享。大模型技术的共有意味着其未来作为智能技术时代的基础设施而存在。为了防止大模型技术被资本吞噬,国家需要以某种方式介入,通过构建统一公共算力平台,并使得创新型企业获得更多的发展机会。大模型技术的共治意味着,要形成以积极公民为中心的行动者网络、去商品化的共治逻辑、国家的适度干预,并从新弱势群体中发现新的奇异吸引子。大模型技术的共享意味着,需要更多重视再分配、差别原则和再承认等核心内容。再承认的关键是,要使得那些新弱势群体在能力建设的基础之上获得其第二次降生的机会。

基层治理中的“干部干、群众看”

在近年的基层政府公共服务实践中,“干部干、群众看”的现象普遍存在。这一现象的产生主要源于我国“为人民服务”的政府服务理念正在被“为顾客服务”的市场服务理念所替代,从而使原本“官民共治”的基层公共服务模式转换成了市场化服务模式。在我国“为人民服务”的理念中,“人民”从来都不是单一的个体,更不是顾客。“为人民服务”是为大多数人的共同利益服务,而不是为市场上差异化的个体利益服务。因此,以顾客为导向的西方公共管理理论在我国服务型政府构建中未必具有指导的适用性。立足于我国传统和现代的国家与社会关系,从为人民服务、党群关系、干群关系等中国式现代化的实践话语和经验中对服务型政府进行本土化重构是可行之道。
