In recent years, supported by non-governmental organizations (NGOs), a number of community-based health insurance (CBHI) schemes have been operating in rural India. Such design their benefit packages according to local priorities. This paper examines healthcare seeking behaviour among self-help group households with view understanding the implications for offered such schemes. We use cross-sectional data collected from two India’s poorest states and estimate an alternative-specific...
Freedom is a key concept in Amartya Sen's definitions of capabilities and development. This paper focuses on serious neglected form unfreedom — domestic violence argues that freedom from such must be integral to evaluating developmental progress. Conceptually, it notes person's well‐being can depend not only absolute measures functionings but also relative within families; this even lead perverse effects. A man married woman better employed than himself, for instance, may irked by her higher...
Water splitting is promising, especially for energy and environmental applications; however, there are limited studies on the link between water cancer treatment. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) can be used to convert near-infrared (NIR) light ultraviolet (UV) or visible (Vis) have great potential biomedical applications because of their profound penetration ability, theranostic approaches, low self-fluorescence background, reduced damage biological tissue, toxicity. UCNPs with...
We developed an affordable, environmentally friendly, and biodegradable film as alternative to traditional nonbiodegradable plastics using the tuber starch of Colocasia esculenta (CE) plant. Starch was yielded a 21.56% extent, it contained 31% amylose, with minimal levels protein lipids ash residue 2.6 ± 0.01%, attributed essential minerals. To optimize fabrication process, we employed response surface methodology (RSM) in conjunction hybrid statistical model particle swarm optimization...
Abstract In this study, we successfully prepared poly (vinyl alcohol)/chitosan/sodium alginate blended (PCS/SA) composite membranes by a simple solution casting method and solvent evaporation technique. The physicochemical properties effect of different wt% sodium (SA) on alcohol)/chitosan (PCS) were systematically evaluated studied along with its shape memory mechanism. With increased SA, the crystallinity PCS/SA reduced significantly. membrane has better thermal stability than pure PVA but...
This article assesses insurance uptake in three community-based health (CBHI) schemes located rural parts of two India's poorest states and offered through women's self-help groups (SHGs). We examine what drives uptake, the degree inclusive practices influence status on enrolment. The most important finding is that a household's socio-economic does not appear to substantially inhibit uptake. In some cases scheduled caste/scheduled tribe households are more likely enrol. Second, with greater...
A percentage of natural fibers is used for developing a composite, the materials are quite increasing in recent trends, and they can be potential replacement synthetic reinforcement phase hybrid composite. In this research, combination as reinforcement, epoxy polymer matrix material. The Kevlar Napier grass reinforced with to develop new composite by using conventional hand layup fabrication process quantify effect laminate, five different sequences following. To identify mechanical...
