The "social determinants of health perspective" stipulates that health and well-being for individuals and families are inextricably linked to contextual risk and protective factors nested across layers of organization. At a time of significant social change and environmental stress, it is of pressing importance to showcase lifespan research that identifies these social determinants, to guide policy and public health response that is sensitive to the historical epoch.
For the past years, more emphasis has been given in understanding the level of cultural adjustment that individuals face on migrating to a new country. Not much attention has been given on studying repatriates. This phenomenological study deals with the experiences of 17 Indian repatriates, their emotional challenges and the various coping strategies that they had to employ in order to smoothen their repatriation process on returning to their home country. Six main themes were identified on applying thematic analysis to the individual semi-structured interviews: relief from hardships faced in the host country, stronger bond with the home country, feeling of being an alien in your home countr...
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) continues to be a condition associated with a high morbidity and mortality despite the advances in treatment strategies over the past 25 years. Although defined by strict hemodynamic criteria, PAH is a syndrome based on diverse etiologies and pathogenesis. PAH is characterized by excessive pulmonary vascular remodeling, pulmonary arterial obstruction and elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), which result in a marked increase in right ventricle (RV) afterload. Eventually, the RV is not able to cope with the increased load and HF develops.
This volume brings together the practical insights and experiences of individuals and organisations working in diverse regions and contexts to combat 'crimes of honour'. Authors examine strategies of response to such manifestations of violence against women, focusing largely on 'honour killings' and interference with the right to choice in marriage, and the related use and legal treatment of the defence of 'honour' and 'provocation' in different countries of Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and South Asia. This timely volume is distinctive in approach and content, highlighting activist and practice-orientated academic perspectives from both the South and the North. The authors give voice to the struggle to locate 'crimes of honour' firmly within the international framework of violence against women and human rights, rather than positioning these abuses as specific to particular cultures or communities. The first of its kind, this book serves as a resource in addressing 'honour crimes' and, more broadly, violence against women, and will be of interest to a multi-disciplinary academic audience as well as to lawyers, policy-makers and activists.
