Psychological responses to reservation-based discrimination: A qualitative study of socially marginalized youth at a premier Indian university     

《International Journal of Educational Development》2020

Given the history of caste politics in India, it is not surprising that the socially marginalized students face discrimination, especially after the introduction of the reservation policy (affirmative action) in educational institutes. Our qualitative study, informed by Meyer’s Minority Stress model, analysed in-depth interviews with 30 undergraduate students, 3 faculty members, and 4 administrative officials at a premier Indian university to examine the psychological wellbeing of the reserved category students. We analysed how the discrimination processes contributed to students’ poor academic performance, low self-esteem, and weak motivation. Student group affiliations and university resources created a supportive environment for the socially marginalized, despite a small risk of stigmatization due to enrolment in a few campus support-programs. Moreover, there existed a palpable frustration among the socially privileged students, resulting in discriminatory attitudes against reserved categories but not “lower” caste. Our findings call for the attention of college administrators, policymakers, and the society at large to ensure that well-intended social justice policies are efficiently implemented, to deliver justice to the underprivileged students of India.  相似文献   

Effect on growth and productivity of lutein from the chlorophyta microalga,strain MCH of Muriellopsis sp., when grown in sea water and outdoor conditions at the Atacama Desert     

《Electronic Journal of Biotechnology》2021

BackgroundMicroalgae are microorganisms that produce various products, for example, pigments, mainly carotenoids. This study aimed to used the strain of Muriellopsis sp. and to evaluate their behavior when grown in freshwater and seawater, along with indoor and outdoor conditions for both cultures. Growth of the strain was evaluated by determining its biomass, lutein productivity with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and antioxidant activity by using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrilhydrazil (DPPH method).ResultsMuriellopsis sp. strain in indoor cultures showed an increased antioxidant activity. In outdoor conditions, both cultures showed increased cells number, concentration of biomass, and lutein productivity. The percentage of lutein obtained from the strain MCH in indoor conditions was 25 times higher than that reported for calendula, reaching 0.75% of lutein in Muriellopsis sp. cultured in seawater, followed by 0.6% in Muriellopsis sp., cultures in freshwater at day 12 of both cultures. These values exceed that of microalgae Scenedesmus almeriensis, which reaches 0.53% lutein.ConclusionsThe results show that the native strain of the Atacama Desert is one of the largest producers of lutein as compared to those reported to date. The study demonstrated the feasibility of producing this carotenoid with well-known properties to prevent some diseases due to its high nutritional value. Muriellopsis sp. cultivation in open-air seawater is a good precedent for developing mass production of this species in an area where freshwater is scarce and costly.How to cite: Cruz-Balladares V, Marticorena P, Riquelme C.

Becoming Fathers: Initial Exploration of a Support Program for New Fathers     

Stephanie R. Rayburn  J. Douglas Coatsworth 《The Journal of perinatal education》2021,30(2):78

Emerging fathers experience a variety of stressors, including identity and role transitions, changes in their relationships, and challenges in developing caregiving skills. Increasing expectations for father involvement in childcare are emphasizing the importance of the father role, but social supports for new fathers remain scarce. Nineteen expectant and new fathers participated in a pilot 5-week group intervention aimed at improving stress coping and involvement attitudes using a combination of mindfulness practices and skill-building for parenting and partner communication. We administered surveys pre- and postintervention to assess efficacy in the areas of stress, depressive symptoms, father involvement attitudes, and mindfulness. Within-participant differences were compared across participants as well as examining individual reliable change. Results indicated initial reductions in stress and depressive symptoms and increases in the mindfulness constructs of nonjudgment and nonreactivity. No significant changes were found in father involvement attitudes. Perinatal intervention specific to fathers holds promise as an underexplored avenue for supporting families across the transition to parenthood.  相似文献   

连带责任求偿模式研究   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

邱文华 《襄樊职业技术学院学报》2006,5(6):104-106

我国现行连带责任的求偿模式是任意求偿模式。债权人有权向连带责任人中一人、数人或全体，同时或先后请求履行全部或一部分债务。债权人的请求权没有人数多少、顺序先后、范围大小的限制。这种求偿模式虽有其合理性，但也存在诸多弊端。针对司法实务中适用任意求偿模式存在的问题．对完善我国连带责任的求偿模式进行了探讨．  相似文献   

融合教育教师职业压力对职业倦怠的影响:社会支持的中介作用     

谢正立  邓猛  李玉影  林开仪  王红霞 《中国特殊教育》2021,(3):46-52

本研究旨在考察融合教育教师职业压力、社会支持和职业倦怠之间的关系,采用问卷调查法对来自北京市、厦门市、中山市的367名融合教育教师进行调查。结果发现:融合教育教师的职业压力显著影响教师的职业倦怠;融合教育教师获得的社会支持显著影响其职业倦怠。融合教育教师的社会支持在职业压力与职业倦怠关系中发挥部分中介作用,即融合教育教师的职业压力既直接影响其职业倦怠又通过社会支持间接影响职业倦怠。  相似文献   

Attention‐Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Symptoms,Perceived Stress,and Resilience in College Students     

Stacey L. Hamilton  Amanda Baraldi  Shelia M. Kennison 《Journal of College Counseling》2021,24(1):49-62

This research investigated the relationships among symptoms associated with attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), perceived stress, and resilience in college students. In our study of 558 college students (175 men, 383 women), we confirmed the hypothesis that the relationship between ADHD symptoms and perceived stress is mediated by protective factors associated with resilience. The relationships were not significantly moderated by sex. Implications for increasing resilience in college students and lowering perceived stress for college students are discussed.  相似文献

李晓婧  张颖博  高欣 《唐山学院学报》2021,34(6):23-27

为改善发动机连杆在热-结构耦合作用下的性能,首先,应用理论分析法分析了发动机曲柄连杆机构的运动学特性;然后,采用有限元仿真法分析了连杆在热-结构耦合作用下的拉应力、压应力以及疲劳寿命;最后,依据仿真分析结果对原型连杆的危险截面进行优化设计并再次分析,结果表明,优化后的发动机连杆其应力得到大幅减小,但疲劳寿命增加了96.60%,连杆性能得到了很好的改善。  相似文献
