Adverse Neonatal Outcomes Among Women Living With HIV: A Population-Based Study2015 •
There have been few population-based studies describing the risk of adverse neonatal outcomes among women living with HIV in Canada. Accordingly, we compared the risk of preterm birth (PTB), low birth weight (LBW) and small for gestational age births among Ontario women aged 18 to 49 years living with and without HIV infection. We conducted a population-based study using Ontario health administrative data. Generalized estimating equations with a logit link function were used to derive adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals for the association of HIV infection with adverse neonatal outcomes. Between 2002-2003 and 2010-2011, a total of 1 113 874 singleton live births were available for analysis, of which 615 (0.06%) were to women living with HIV. The proportion of singleton births that were SGA (14.6% vs. 10.3%; P < 0.001), PTB (14.6% vs. 6.3%; P < 0.001), and LBW (12.5% vs. 4.6%; P < 0.001) were higher among women living with HIV than among women without HI...

Displacing Theory Through the Global South
To Be Given Names Displaced Social Positionalities in Senegal and Angola2024 •
During fieldwork, anthropologists are given many names that point to their intersectional placement regarding race, class, gender, nationality, and religion. Yet, careful consideration of vernacular forms of designation reveals that such generalizing categories do not always reflect the ways in which people are named and positioned in a given context. While acknowledging the relevance of intersectionality, this paper discusses the relationship between naming and social positionality through a comparative consideration of names employed to designate Dulley in Angola and Santos in Senegal. It explores how these designators, ascribed to the researchers by their interlocutors, contextually identify their positionality. Through concrete examples, it shows how this process of emplacement can both enable and restrict one’s possibilities of action and experience.

Women are the pillar of the families, communities, and economies over the world, yet, are facing the brunt and wrath of the family and the society. Domestic violence results in serious harms to an individual woman, and adversely affects her family, community and society. The laws against domestic violence grant protection and provide for certain rights to the survivors. However, the rights are nothing without the power to claim them. (Clinton, 2020) The way the backlash operates currently, it denies the complainant their rights. Women as citizens when interact with the legal system, are invoking their rights as granted to them by the constitutions and the laws with the hope that their situational crisis is resolved fairly. However, this does not happen easily. The complainants face hostility in navigating both the social as well as the legal terrains. The voices of women frequently remain unheard. The patriarchal norms are subjugating the complainants and robbing them of their worth by enforcing myths and misogyny. Perhaps, women are being detested for challenging authority. Instead of using the language of rights to promote justice, the law is diverted to pit one group against another. The law, therefore, is not utilized as a tool to challenge the domination, rather it is deployed to deepen the sex-based inequalities and to reproduce the gender hierarchies. The backlash arises because of fear of change. More specifically, it is manufactured by those in power and who wanted to retain their privileges. Through the backsliding, this privileged lobby is making mockery of the system. Practically, the law is not charging unlawful aggression. Countering the backlash with the backlash is therefore essential at every level. The chapter concludes that the women-friendly laws need to be implemented in true spirit while overcoming the myths and misogyny. Instead of diluting the legal provisions, efforts may be focused to eradicate violence, to eliminate patriarchy, to facilitate the access to justice and to pave the way for gender emancipation.
--Rampurva pillar copperbolt with Indus Script --Heliodorus Pillar with Brahmi inscription -- Numismatic Traditions linked with Vasudevasa Garudadhvajo A remarkable feature of Bactrian coins of Agathocles is the use of Brahmi and Kharoshthi scripts and presentation of themes on Sri Krishna and Sri Balarama. Clearly, Meluhha artisans and mints with Meluhha artificers were involved in the production of such coins. Mappa (nomi romani) del commercio dell'oceano indiano (mar Eritreo) http://www.fmboschetto.it/Utopiaucronia/ucronia_yavana.htm Indus Script hieroglyphs continued to be used on Rampurva copper bolt (Asokan pillar) and together with Kharoṣṭhī and Brahmi scripts on Sohgaura copper plate and on thousands of punch-marked coins of mints from Taxila to Karur. See: Fourth Rosetta stone: Sohgaura Copper plate. Syllabic Brāhmī details Indus Script crypt hieroglyphic writing https://tinyurl.com/y47e32e4 The continued use with syllabic scripts was in the context of metalwork either in mints or erection of pillar with bull capital joined by a copper bolt in Rampurva. This is conclusive validation of decipherment of Indus Script Corpora as catalogus catalogorum of metalwork using Proto-Prakritam lexis. The challenge is to trace not only the Maritime Tin Route but also the roots of Kharoṣṭhī and Brahmi scripts not only on metalwork but also on birch-bark and other media manuscripts. Comparable to the archaeometallurgical challenge of delineating the Maritime Tin Route linking Hanoi and Haifa is the epigraphical challenge of tracing the roots of Kharoṣṭhī and Brahmi scripts which signify Prakritam language, Meluhha speech syllables (together with Indus Script words of Proto-Prakritam) on artifacts such as Asoka edicts, punch-marked/cast coins, Sohgaura copper plate, Rampurva Asoka pillar copper bolt. Indus Script signified Proto-Prakritam words of metalwork; Kharoṣṭhī and Brahmi scripts signified syllables of Prakritam speech (parole), i.e. Meluhha. Indus Script hieroglyphs (ca. 500 signs on text + ca. 100 pictorial motifs on artifacts of seals, tablets, etc.) are rebus-metonymy layers of words from Meluhha (Proto-Prakritam) lexis of metalwork. Kharoṣṭhī and Brahmi scripts deployed together with Indus Script hieroglyphs, for example, on punch-marked coins identified by W. Theobald signified syllabic pronunciation of names of janapadas or guild-masters of mints or rulers. Hieroglyphs such as tree-on-railing, svastika, elephant, tiger, fishes, crocodile snatching fish in its jaws, mountain-ranges continue to be used on early punch-marked coins to signify metalwork catalogues, following the Indus Script tradition of using the hieroglyph-multiplexes to signify technical specifications of metalwork or metalcastings in mints.

He revises the list to 342 symbols in his 1901 monograph. (W.
