by BRIG. GEN. WILLIAM C. MENNINGER, USA MILITARY psychiatry differs from civilian psychiatry in that the Army must be totally responsible for a man — not only for his food and clothing, but especially for his ability to participate in his particular mission. Consequently, when a man did not fulfill his function, the Army had to find the cause and, if possible, remedy it. In many instances the cause lay in his personality and in his emotional difficulties. Since there is a human tendency to retreat into illness under stress, it was not surprising to find that many men became ill when they were unable to meet the demands of the new life. Military psychiatry differs also in quality from civilian psychiatry. In the Army much more effort and time are invested in a preventive psychiatryan attempt to keep men healthy and to seek out causes for poor morale. Until comparatively recently, the majority of civilian psychiatric patients had to be brought to the psychiatrist by relatives, … [Read more...] about Psychiatry and the War

Sri Lanka's economic crisis is worsening , and the daily lives of people living in the small island nation have been severely disrupted. Due to rising prices of essential items, as well as fuel and medicine shortages , many Sri Lankans desperately want to leave the country . On Tuesdaz Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said that with debts now totalling over $50 billion, Sri Lanka is "a bankrupt country." With no signs of the crisis letting up, and no bailout from the IMF in sight, many Sri Lankan refugees are traveling illegally by boats to nearby countries like India and Australia in a desperate bid to escape the unfolding disaster. On June 27, an elderly Sri Lankan refugee couple was found unconscious on an Indian beach suffering from severe dehydration. The couple had tried to cross from Sri Lanka to India by boat. The elderly woman died in hospital on July 2 after efforts to save her life failed. As of now, more than 90 refugees have landed on India's shores, … [Read more...] about Sri Lanka’s economic crisis is driving people to flee the country in desperation

By Parinaz Madan & Dinyar Patel Published 16 hours ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing In 1933, a sari-clad teenager made international headlines. Avabai Wadia, 19, became the first woman from Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) to pass the bar exam in the United Kingdom. Her success encouraged the Ceylonese government to allow women to study law in the country. This was not the only time Wadia spurred government policies on women's rights. By the time she died in 2005, she had become a globally respected figure in the family planning movement, combining a lawyer's acumen with a dedication to socially uplifting women. Wadia was born in 1913 in a progressive Parsi family in Colombo. After qualifying as a lawyer, she worked in both London and Colombo despite omnipresent "masculine prejudice". Why birth control is a woman’s burden in India She moved to Bombay (now … [Read more...] about Avabai Wadia: The lawyer who became India’s family planning pioneer

Valeria Perasso Published 9 October 2017 Share close Share page Copy link About sharing In a textbook for students in Tanzania, boys are strong and athletic, while girls just look proud of their pretty frilly dresses. In a primary school reader in Haiti, pupils learn that mothers "take care of the kids and prepare the food" as fathers work "in an office". There's a Pakistani illustrated book where all politicians, authoritative and powerful, are male. In Turkey, a cartoon of a boy shows him dreaming of becoming a doctor. Meanwhile a girl imagines herself as a future bride in white gown. The list goes on - and knows no geographical boundaries. Gender bias is rife in primary school learning books and can be found, in a strikingly similar form, on every continent, various experts say. It is a problem "hidden in plain sight". "There are stereotypes of … [Read more...] about 100 Women: ‘We can’t teach girls of the future with books of the past’

Soutik Biswas Published 12 July 2011 comments Comments Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Can the promise of a car or a mixer grinder help keep India's population in check? Well, that's what health authorities in the northern state of Rajasthan apparently believe. They are offering a cheap car, among other things, as a prize in an attempt to sign up some 20,000 people to meet an ambitious sterilisation target. Time will tell whether this turns out to be another gimmick or an innovative incentive. But what worries many is the ethics of such sterilisation drives in a largely patriarchal society like India. As population expert Usha Rai says, the promise of such lucrative incentives typically make husbands push their wives to undergo sterilisation and avoid a range of contraceptives that are available to help limit the size of their families. There's … [Read more...] about Is India’s population policy sexist?

Defence, technology and transport budgets are all set to be trimmed, according to Russian media. More than 1.6 trillion roubles, or £24bn, has been slashed from the Russian state budget over the next three years as Moscow braces for a two-year recession. Spending will be 557bn roubles (£8.2bn) lower in 2023 than previously approved plans, with similar cuts pencilled in for the following two years. The budget tweaks are minor compared to the size of Moscow’s overall budget but the figures are one of the first signs of the fiscal blow being dealt by the conflict in Ukraine. The 2023 … [Read more...] about Kremlin slashes spending by £24bn as West’s sanctions batter Russia

Ben Stokes is leading a revolution in the England Test team; meanwhile, his predecessor as talismanic all-rounder has taken on a task at least as difficult, and perhaps more important. Andrew Flintoff is attempting to bring cricket to the unimpressed youth of his native Preston, and the resulting three-part documentary, Freddie Flintoff’s Field of Dreams, should be required viewing for those in the England and Wales Cricket Board charged with getting people interested and involved in cricket beyond the walled garden of subscription TV and private education. As an alumnus of a state school, Stokes is in a minority in the current England set-up, where privately educated players dominate. Flintoff’s market research with bored teenagers hanging around outside the chippy in the Lancashire town would suggest that the England team are not so much from different schools, but from a different planet. The lads here believe cricket is “posh”, “slow” and “boring”; and the reality is that it … [Read more...] about Andrew Flintoff discovers cricket’s lost youth – are you watching ECB?
