Resumen
This thesis offers an analysis of labour relations and social space in the tea gardens of north-east India. Existing literature provides us with an understanding of how the plantations operate as economic spaces, but in so doing they treat workers as undifferentiated economic beings defined only by their class identity. Space, however, has to be animated to be meaningful. Through participant observation and semi-structured interviews I explore the plantations as actual lived spaces where people are bound by and resist constraints. Multiple intersecting identities play out within these social spaces making them ethnic, religious, and caste spaces in addition to being gendered. Focusing on these intersectional identities, I demonstrate how region, ethnicity, party affiliation, caste, religion are played out and how they are invoked at certain points by the women workers. The articulations of identity not only determine a sense of belonging or non-belonging to a space but also how one belongs. Within the physical sites of the plantation, I examine how the women perceive these spaces and how, in moving between ideas of home/world, public/private, these very binaries are negated. The strict sexual division of labour primarily in the workplace but also in the household and villages inscribe the physical sites with certain gendered meanings and performances. The women negotiate these in their everyday lives and shape these spaces even as they are shaped by them. Conditioned by gender norms and the resultant hierarchy their narratives can be read as stories of deprivation and misery, but looking deeper their agency can also be uncovered. The lives of my research participants show how the social spaces within which they operate are not static; in spite of spatial controls there are the many minute acts of resistance through which the women work the existing restraints to their least disadvantage. Focussing on the minute acts of insubordination, deceit and even confrontation I elucidate how the women made use of the relations of subordination to pave spaces of resistance and sometimes even of autonomy. Furthermore, not all acts of agency are minute or unspectacular. I map instances of highly visible, volatile and aggressive protests apparently challenging the accepted social codes within which they function. In expressing themselves, the women use the available political repertories of protest in forms of strikes, blockades, street plays, etc. Through these instances of activism they appropriate and become visible in the public realm and challenge the accepted ways in which social spaces and norms play out. Despite their articulate nature, these protests usually seek to address immediate demands and do not escalate into social movements. Also while volatile in action, the protests seek legitimacy within the accepted gender codes that operate in their everyday life in the plantation.

Resumen
With the rise of the Tea Party movement, conservative women are yet again in the spotlight in America. Prominent, influential, and strong-willed women have become the public face of the Tea Party nationwide, and a substantial portion of the movement’s grassroots support is among women. This thesis argues that female Tea Party elites have constructed a gendered narrative in order to mobilize their socially conservative women into supporting their primarily economic movement by infusing the otherwise autonomous and atomized individual at the center of their economic conservatism with the gendered identities of “family,” “mother,” and “woman,” effectively narrowing the gap between social and economic conservatism. The results of logit regression analyses using survey data offer limited support for the effectiveness of this strategy in increasing grassroots support. Differences in men’s and women’s support for the Tea Party based on family concerns and gender awareness do not emerge; but among those who have children, women – and especially socially conservative women – are more likely to support the Tea Party than their male counterparts. Ultimately, I suggest that the higher level of involvement of socially conservative women in an economically conservative movement raises the possibility of a broader and more inclusive women’s agenda in the U.S.

Resumen
During the past decades, the incidence of osteoporotic fractures has increased dramatically in the Western world. Consumption of coffee and intake of caffeine have in some studies been found to be associated with increased risk of osteoporotic fractures, but overall results from previous research are inconsistent. Despite weak evidence, some osteoporosis organisations recommend limiting daily coffee or caffeine intake. The primary aim of this thesis was to study the association between long-term consumption of coffee and bone mineral density (BMD), incidence of osteoporosis and fractures. A secondary aim was to study the relation between tea consumption and fracture risk. An increased risk of osteoporotic fractures in individuals who consumed ≥ 4 cups of coffee vs < 1 cup coffee per day was demonstrated in a study of 31,257 Swedish middle-aged and elderly women (a part of the Swedish Mammography Cohort - SMC) when calcium intake was low (< 700 mg/day). However, no higher risks of osteoporosis or fractures were observed in the full SMC with increasing coffee consumption. In the full SMC (n = 61,433) the follow-up was longer and the number of fractures was higher. Similarly, no statistically significant associations between consumption of coffee (≥ 4 cups of coffee vs < 1 cup) and incidence of osteoporotic fractures were observed in the Cohort of Swedish Men (COSM), including 45,339 men. Calcium intake did not modify the results from the investigations performed in the full SMC or COSM. Nonetheless, a 2 - 4% lower BMD at measured sites was observed in men participating in the PIVUS cohort and in women from a sub-cohort of the SMC who consumed ≥ 4 cups of coffee vs < 1 cup daily. Individuals with high coffee intake and rapid metabolism of caffeine had lower BMD at the femoral neck. No association between tea consumption and risk of fractures was found in the studies. In conclusion, the findings presented in this thesis demonstrate that high consumption of coffee may be associated with a modest decrease in BMD. However, there was no evidence of a substantially increased incidence of osteoporosis or fractures typically associated with osteoporosis.

Resumen
Hispanics are the fastest growing ethnic group in the United States with the states that border Mexico having a greater percentage of persons of Mexican origin residing in them. Herbs are widely used by persons of Mexican origin, however, little is known about specifics surrounding these cultural practices. An ethnographic study in the border region of Nogales, Arizona - Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, discovered the cultural components of values, beliefs, practices, and experiences of 9 women of Mexican origin who resided in the Arizona/Sonora, Mexico border region related to using manzanilla tea during the childbearing period. Data from semi-structured in-depth interviews were analyzed using a thematic, content analysis process. Intergenerational transmission of cultural health care knowledge emerged from abstraction of the findings. Details from the women's voices provide enlightenment surrounding the values, beliefs, and practices related to the use of manzanilla tea for childbearing. Nursing should be able to integrate this knowledge into care practices and education thereby promoting more culturally relevant care during the childbearing period for women of Mexican origin.

Texto completo
Resumen
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries the members of the woman’s suffrage movement in the United States and Britain looked to soften their hard masculine image given to them by the press and to increase participation in the cause. They found that by including theatrical performances and benefits at meetings, and hosting tea socials afterwards, they could motivate many women to join without alienating or threatening men. This study looks at how tea socials and theatrical performances were used subversively to recruit new members, to debate ideas, and to disseminate information about the cause. Playwrights wrote plays that examined the questions and issues surrounding this movement, and upstart, female-operated theatre groups and social clubs presented these plays to the public, allowing the debate to reach a wider audience. Actresses themselves joined clubs to increase their presence in society, to help out other actresses, and to find political agency.

Resumen
In questo studio di ricerca si analizzerà il tema delle "comfort women" dal punto di vista mediatico e comunicativo ed il ruolo che l'NHK (Nippon Hōsō Kyōkai), l'organizzazione di telecomunicazione pubblica giapponese, ha avuto nel trasmetterlo e nel diffonderlo. La prostituzione militare, forzata e non, insieme al controllo della sessualità è un tema tanto controverso quanto eterogeneo, non solo nel contesto giapponese, ma in tutti i paesi che hanno attraversato il periodo bellico. Si tratterà il problema della prostituzione militare sia in ambito mediatico storiografico, sia linguistico ed infine scientifico. Verrà preso in considerazione il periodo dell’espansione giapponese a partire dalla Restaurazione Meiji (1868 – 1912) e come al suo interno si sviluppa l’idea odierna della sessualità e della prostituzione. Verranno approfonditi i riscontri delle visite politiche al santuario Yasukuni, dedicato alle vittime militari, fino ai retroscena mediatici e governativi presenti nei documentari dedicati alle comfort women. In ambito politico, dall'ultimo mandato del premier Abe ad oggi (2012 - ), verranno valutate le complesse interazioni tra il Giappone e le altre potenze mondiali, sempre più interessate alle dinamiche nipponiche nelle relazioni internazionali. Verrà poi studiato il linguaggio mediatico, nonché di traduzione ed interpretazione, e gli attori che ne fanno parte. Si cercherà di capire il perché questa tematica venga considerata una delle più dibattute nel mondo nipponico ed internazionale dal post guerra ad oggi. In conclusione si cercherà di mettere in luce la parte medico scientifica: come le comfort women abbiano sofferto di disturbi post traumatici da stress e come questo possa aver influenzato i resoconti mediatici successivi.

This paper aims to analyse the problem of the prostitution of women, from it’s historical and philosophical meaning, seeking to contribute to the debate recently formed in the legislative branch and in the brazilian civil society. This goal will be pursued by means of a broad historical foreshortening, describing the development of prostitution in the Western world and, more deeply, the history of this phenomenon in the national scenario, which will allow us to understand it’s uniqueness. We will analyze the confrontation politics currently adopted by Westen countries, paying attention to both the benefits and the flaws of each one of them. We will also study the philosophical bases of the bills in progress in the National Congress. The main objective is not to indicate which is the best model, or the solution to this question, which has tormented humanity for millennia, but to allow a deep understanding of all the issues involved in this complex phenomenon
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a problemática da prostituição de mulheres, a partir de seu significado histórico e filosófico, buscando contribuir para o debate que se formou, recentemente, sobre o tema, no Poder Legislativo e na sociedade civil brasileira. Esse objetivo será perseguido por meio de um amplo escorço histórico, descrevendo o desenvolvimento da prostituição no mundo ocidental e, mais detidamente, a história desse fenômeno no cenário nacional, o que nos permitirá compreender sua singularidade. Analisaremos as políticas de enfrentamento atualmente adotadas pelos países ocidentais, dando atenção tanto aos benefícios quanto aos malefícios de cada uma delas. Estudaremos ainda as bases filosóficas dos Projetos de Lei em trâmite no Congresso Nacional. O objetivo principal não é apontar qual o melhor modelo, ou a solução para essa questão, que atormenta a humanidade há milênios, mas permitir uma compreensão profunda de todas as questões envolvidas nesse fenômeno tão complexo

Resumen
Motivation: A variety of factors including food shortage, poor hygiene and low education levels affects the nutritional status of black women. Women also have a high risk for the development of iron deficiency because they lose iron through menstruation, the birth process and a low intake of iron containing foods. All of these factors contribute to an increased risk for the development of iron deficiency anaemia in women. Objectives: The primary purpose of the study was to investigate the association between tea consumption and iron status of African females in the North West Province. To reach this purpose the specific aims were to (1) assess the iron status of women, (2) determine tea intake, and (3) determine the relationship between tea consumption and iron status, taking into account inhibiting and enhancing factors of iron absorption. Methods: A cross-sectional sample of apparently healthy females was taken from five different strata of urbanisation. The subjects were then further divided into two groups, namely younger women (younger than 45.9 years) and older women (older than 46 years). A sample of 920 subjects was used. Data were obtained from dietary, demographic and additional questionnaires, as well as from the taking of blood samples. This study was a sub-study of the THUSA study. Results: A total of 920 subjects participated of which 69.24% were younger women and 30.76% were older women. Due to missing data, the number of subjects for each parameter differed. The mean serum ferritin as well as haemoglobin concentrations were within normal ranges for both groups. The mean dietary iron intake for both groups was below recommendations. No significant correlations were found between serum ferritin or haemoglobin and total tea intake as well as a variety of other dietary factors. The low haemoglobin concentration group of the younger and older women combined had a slightly higher intake of animal protein and ascorbic acid than the high haemoglobin concentration group. On the other hand, the high serum ferritin concentration group had a significantly higher intake of animal protein than the low serum ferritin concentration group. Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that tea does not have an inhibitory effect on the iron status of the female population of the North West Province. However, the investigation of other studies conducted on the same topic had mixed results. Two of seven studies investigated and this study indicated that tea had no inhibitory effect on iron absorption. These two studies, as well as this study were not done in a controlled environment where certain factors can be controlled for, for example, time of tea intake and milk consumption with tea. The other five studies were, however, conducted in an environment where subjects were given test meals, time of tea consumption was regulated and milk consumption with tea was recorded. The conclusion can, therefore, be made that further studies on the South African population in a controlled environment are necessary to give accurate recommendations to the population.

Resumen
My thesis examines the background and significance of the women who participated in the Edenton Tea Party, which took place in 1774. By examining this important event and the community that supported it, I illuminate the common political and domestic struggles of white women in the American Revolution as well as how they changed. The time period includes Edenton's part in the colony's participation in the war, the women's demonstration, their subsequent wartime experiences, and the legacy of their unprecedented rebellion, all of which place women on the path to attain the right to participate in American government. I analyze county data from archives, published collections, correspondence, government documents, maps, and other photos. My thesis fills the gap in the historiography of the Edenton Tea Party and the women in Chowan County in the revolutionary period. The demonstration set a precedent for women's subsequent participation in the United States.

Resumen
The success of three Louisiana feminists in the 1970s, Fran Bussie, Clarence Marie Collier, and Pat Evans stemmed from their professional expertise in labor rights, education, and politics, respectively. By joining and maintaining memberships in a variety of social, civic, and activists groups, these feminist leaders via the 1976 Louisiana Governor’s Conference on Women created a unique network that allowed for the formation of a new women’s platform. This conference advanced women’s rights, established a working platform for reform, and helped usher in second-wave feminism in Louisiana. Using conference booklets, archived video and audio interviews, and newspaper articles, this thesis argues that when women came together in their professional positions to advocate for women’s rights, the results were clearly positive.

La tesi si concentra sull'analisi interpretativa e sul confronto culturale tra diverse riprese di un dramma antico sulla scena moderna. L'opera classica scelta è Troiane nella versione euripidea, soggetta a una notevole ripresa d'interesse da parte di registi e drammaturghi nel XX e XXI secolo. Si è inteso concentrare l'attenzione sui più significativi spettacoli e drammaturgie contemporanei (quindi apparsi sulle scene mondiali e, in particolare, italiane del secondo dopoguerra) che tematizzino a diversi livelli la questione del disagio, della violenza e delle forme dell'esclusione e dell'esodo dovuti a uno scontro fra culture antagoniste. Volutamente, sono stati studiati spettacoli poco noti alla critica e al grande pubblico. Il metodo di lavoro seguito è stato adattato alle caratteristiche di ogni allestimento e alla particolarità delle fonti. Infine, ho fornito una valutazione critica della riuscita artistica degli spettacoli e ho confrontato le diverse traduzioni impiegate dai registi.
The thesis deals with an interpretation and a cultural comparison among many different contemporary plays based on classic drama. In particular, I examined Trojan Women by Euripides, a tragedy that today is often present on the stage. The thesis presents an account on the most important present-day shows and writings from Italy and other countries about loneliness, violence and exile due to fights between different cultures. On purpose, I studied not generally known shows and plays. The study method has been adapted to every show features and to its evidences. Finally, I valued how and if a show succeeded and made a comparison among different translations of Euripides' trojan women.

Resumen
ABSTRACT This work answers the question “Who was Frances Virginia?” by recovering the story of an Atlanta entrepreneur, Frances Virginia Wikle Whitaker, and her tea room foodservice business. It acknowledges “Frances Virginia,” as the public knew her; and focuses on her career as demonstrative of an under‐theorized form of women’s activism. Her education and proclivity in the once all‐female domain of home economics have important characteristics that are under‐ represented, and often misinterpreted, in today’s discourse. I use a womanist theoretical lens within a historical frame to examine her story as a home economist during the tea room movement of the U. S. feminist movement’s Transition Era, 1920s‐1960s. Together, these elements illuminate the significance of Frances Virginia and her particular form of activism.

The purpose of this study was to study the living conditions of rural women in the municipality of Feira de Santana (BA), mothers of children in the Ipua?u / Jo?o Durval Carneiro district. Based on the relationship of rural women and their family, life and work conditions, with the routine of their children in school institutions in the stage of Early Childhood Education, the research sought the interface between themes such as Early Childhood Education, Early Childhood Education and Education in an attempt to understand how such educational policies can affect family everyday life. In view of the scenario of Law 12.796 / 13, which determines the compulsory enrollment of children (4-5 years) in Early Childhood Education, as a result of struggles of the social collectives and achievement mainly for the working class that requires the guarantee of vacancies for the study aimed to analyze the meaning of the school for mothers of children's education in light of the obligation of law 12 796/13, in the rural area of Feira de Santana. In order to give concrete substance to the objectives of this study, the methodology followed a critical and qualitative social perspective, within the dialectical logic, as instruments of data collection, the application of questionnaires and interviews with rural mothers who have their children enrolled in an institution of Early Childhood Education, in the district of Ipu??? / Jo?o Duval Carneiro. The study revealed that the obligation established by Law 12,796 / 13, was not relevant for the life of the women surveyed. For them, the school is a possibility of social change, so they put in the education of their children an opportunity for social advancement, which they had no chance of achieving. Thus, these women perceive school as a necessary institution in the life of their children, and regardless of the issue of compulsion and age, the school institution from the infantile education, is fundamental to help in facing the difficulties experienced in the scenario of inequality in which they are. Early childhood education is one of the stages in which this schooling takes place, and there is no educational specificity to be discussed in the mothers' understanding. The study also shows that such social inequality, permeated throughout the research scenario, is strongly aggravated by factors such as class, gender, race, territory and lack of schooling, and the school institution is seen as an important strategy for the construction of a another kind of future life, for your children, a life different from yours.
O presente trabalho teve como objeto de estudo as condi??es de vida de mulheres da zona rural do munic?pio de Feira de Santana (BA), m?es de crian?as da educa??o infantil do Distrito de Ipua?u/Jo?o Durval Carneiro. A partir da rela??o das mulheres do campo e suas condi??es familiares, de vida e trabalho, com a rotina de suas crian?as nas institui??es escolares na etapa da Educa??o Infantil, a pesquisa buscou a interface entre temas como Educa??o Infantil, Educa??o Infantil do Campo e Educa??o do Campo na tentativa de compreender como tais pol?ticas educacionais podem afetar os cotidianos familiares. Diante do cen?rio da vig?ncia da lei 12.796/13, que determina a obrigatoriedade de matr?cula para as crian?as (4-5 anos) na Educa??o Infantil, fruto de lutas dos coletivos sociais e conquista principalmente para a classe trabalhadora que necessita da garantia de vagas para seus filhos/as, a pesquisa trouxe como objetivo geral, analisar o significado da escola para as m?es da Educa??o Infantil ? luz da obrigatoriedade da lei 12. 796/13, na zona rural de Feira de Santana. Para dar concretude aos objetivos desse estudo, a metodologia seguiu uma perspectiva social cr?tica, qualitativa, dentro da l?gica dial?tica, tento como instrumentos de coleta de dados, a aplica??o de question?rios e entrevistas com m?es da zona rural, que tem seus filhos/as matriculados em institui??o de Educa??o Infantil, no distrito de Ipua??/ Jo?o Duval Carneiro. O estudo revelou que a obrigatoriedade prevista pela lei 12.796/13, n?o se mostrou pertinente para a vida das mulheres pesquisadas. Para elas, a escola ? uma possibilidade de mudan?a social, por isso depositam na educa??o de seus filhos/as uma oportunidade de ascens?o social, que n?o tiveram chances de alcan?ar. Assim, tais mulheres percebem a escola como uma institui??o necess?ria na vida de seus filhos/as, e independente da quest?o da obrigatoriedade e da idade, a institui??o escola desde a educa??o infantil, ? fundamental para ajudar no enfrentamento das dificuldades vivenciadas no cen?rio de desigualdade social em que se encontram. A educa??o infantil ? uma das etapas em que esta escolariza??o acontece, n?o havendo na compreens?o das m?es uma especificidade educacional a ser discutida. O estudo ainda evidencia, que tal desigualdade social, permeada em todo o cen?rio da pesquisa, ? fortemente agravada por fatores como classe, g?nero, ra?a, territ?rio e falta de escolaridade, sendo a institui??o escola, vista como uma importante estrat?gia para constru??o de um outro tipo de vida futura, para seus filhos/as, uma vida diferente das suas.

Resumen
La novela El beso de la mujer araña del escritor argentino Manuel Puig es una novela que trata dedos presos en una cárcel bonaerense durante la dictadura militar argentina. Esta tesina se centrará enla identidad femenina de Molina. El objetivo de esta tesina es examinar la celebración de lafemineidad de Molina, y su construcción de una identidad femenina. Esta identidad se conectarácon la idea de la identidad femenina como socialmente construida, opuesto a la noción de génerocomo algo innato. Es decir, la identidad femenina de Molina y sus ideas de lo femeninocorresponden a la idea de la identidad femenina como socialmente construida. Apoyándonos enteoría feminista y teoría queer, estableceremos la conexión que existe entre la identidad femeninacomo la ve Molina, y la identidad femenina como construcción social.

This thesis investigates tea’s roles and its influences on the formation of women’s identities in Elizabeth Gaskell’s 1854 novel North and South and Yu-hui Chen’s 2014 novel The Merry Leaf. By focusing on tea as food, commodity, and ritual, I explore tea’s different cultural representations in England, China, and Taiwan, and intend to illustrate the significant contribution of tea to the development of women’s self-identities. Although written in different eras and set in opposite corners of the world, both stories happen in the latter half of the nineteenth century, when global trade was thriving. In this way, tea as a valuable commodity and a daily necessity plays a significant role in people’s daily life. By playing double roles, tea wields its power in both the public and private spheres to temporarily elide boundaries between genders, classes and nations, and to construct women’s self-identities. Through being responsible for making or producing tea, the female protagonists are provided with the chance to develop their own self-identities and to a certain extent elevate their status in society. Women are given the dominant power in the tea-related places such as tea tables and tea mountains in English and Chinese tea cultures. This thesis offers a closer look at tea’s established discourse in the late nineteenth century context by examining tea’s involvement in women’s cultivation of new identities.

Abstract Taiwan is known globally as the kingdom of oolong tea. The oolong tea is famous for its high quality and good cultivation management. The competitiveness is very high in the global market. The tea industry is a labor-intensive industry. In every stage, from production of tea leafs to processing, such as gathering tea and removing tea stalks, high manpower is required. Currently, in the major tea areas, the problem of aging population is very serious. The women in the hometown of tea have been replaced by marriage immigrants from South East Asia and Mainland China. This study, according to the personal features of marriage immigrant women, their family backgrounds, and backgrounds of tea plantations, analyzes the current status of involvement in business management in the tea industry, the expected involvement in the future, and the factors which influence tea farmers'' involvement in management, and explores the difficulties tea farmers have encountered while getting involved in management. In order to reach the above-mentioned research goals, a questionnaire survey was conducted. The self-designed "Marriage Immigrant Women''s Involvement in and the Current Status of Business Management in the Tea Industry and the Expected Involvement in the Future" questionnaire was used as the research tool. The research subjects are the marriage immigrant women from the self-owned tea plantations (including contracted cooperation) in the major tea production areas such as Nantou County, Chiayi County, and Taipei County. 111 of the questionnaires retrieved were valid. Statistical methods applied for data manipulation included descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, one-factor ANOVA, t-test, and multiple regression. The results of the study are listed below: 1.Marriage immigrant women had higher current and future expected involvements in production management of tea plantations and tea leaf production in the tea industry. The second high involvements was the one in decision making for business management in the tea industry. 2.In the aspect of personal features, it was found that, the current and future expected involvements in management in the tea industry were significantly different for the marriage immigrant women who would actively arrange their time to participate in curriculums to learn and those who would participate when having leisure time. In the aspect of family backgrounds, the involvement of those having families and husbands to support them with positive attitudes was higher than that of those whose husbands’ and families’ held normal attitudes toward their work. The involvement of those from the tea plantations with self-production, self-manufacturing, and self-marketing was higher than that of those from the tea plantations which gather tea and cultivate for others. 3.The major problems marriage immigrant women had encountered in production management in tea plantations, tea manufacturing, and business management include “having to take care of children”, “insufficient time”, “insufficient physical strength”, “insufficient ability”, and “insufficient information”. 4.The factors which influenced marriage immigrant women’s current and future expected involvement in business management in the tea industry are listed below: (1)The factors which influenced the current involvement in business management in the tea industry include, ordered by strength of influence, “participating in curriculums to learn when having leisure time” (β=0.351), “level of education being high school or above (β=0.264)”, and “working hours (β=0.264)”. (2)The factors which influenced the future expected involvement in the tea industry include, ordered by strength of influence, “current involvement in business management in the tea industry” (β=0.722) and “having difference in experience of learning and involvement in agriculture management” (β=0.204). Based on the study results above, the following suggestions are proposed: 1.The personal aspect of women: Husbands and other family members should share women’s housework and responsibility to take care of children. Women should actively grasp every opportunity to learn agriculture-related things, improving their abilities to make decisions for business and to do management, in order to solve the problem of insufficient ability. 2.The family aspect: Husbands and other family members should recognize women’s efforts spent on families and tea plantations, share some of their works, and encourage them. By doing so, they will help women to build self confidence and self respect and further increase their achievement motivation and willingness to participate, which will be a great help to business in the tea industry. 3.The business management aspect in the tea industry: Proper division of labor is necessary for getting involved in the tea industry, so that marriage immigrant women will have extra efforts to spend on business management. 4.The government aspect: The government should consider the needs of child care services for rural women and establish nurseries in countryside to release rural women’s burden. The government should also use social resources and establish social support network to offer more learning opportunities to these women and help them build their social networks, in order to improve immigrant women’s knowledge.

Resumen
Lung cancer has been the leading cause of cancer death in women forthe past three decades. Although smoking is the most important riskfactor for lung cancer, not all lung cancer deaths in American womenare attributed to smoking and the role of dietary exposures remainunclear.In particular, the effect of coffee consumption and teaconsumption on lung cancer risk remains inconclusive. Therefore weassessed these associations prospectively in 83,777 women between theages of 50-79 who did not have a previous history of cancer. Dailycoffee and tea consumption (cups/d) were assessed via a baselinequestionnaire while the 1,038 lung cancer cases included in analysiswere self-reported and verified by outcome assessors. Cox proportionalhazard models, adjusted for important lung cancer risk factors, wereused to model the associations. 71% of women reported drinking coffeedaily while only 26% of participants drank tea. Preliminary resultssuggested a significant increase in lung cancer risk for caffeinated(HR=1.47, 95% CI 1.21-1.79), decaffeinated (HR=1.56, 95% CI 1.17-2.07)and total coffee (HR= 1.58, 95% CI 1.29-1.93) when comparing those inthe highest consumption categories to non-drinkers, but no significantresults were observed in these consumption groups in an analysisconducted with only non-smokers. Daily tea consumption wassignificantly associated with a reduction of risk (HR= 0.82, 95% CI0.71-0.96). Our data suggests that there is no association betweencoffee consumption and lung cancer risk or tea consumption and lungcancer risk.

Resumen
In the UNDP Report of 2008, promotion of gender equality and women empowerment, Millennium Development Goal (MDG3), has been declared not only as the main developmental objective but also a fundamental mode of attaining the entire MDGs. This study examines women’s experiences of economic empowerment projects in the era of escalating female household heading and relentless poverty in Lesotho. It particularly focuses on women participating in crafts projects initiated for income generation, in the context of gendered spaces. A growing body of literature asserts that Women Economic Empowerment (WEE) is a potential route out of abject poverty, especially for the economically marginalised women in Female- Headed Households (FHH). A case study focusing on women participants in Teya-teyaneng crafts of Berea district in Lesotho was carried out. Semi-structured interviews were employed to explore the potential of participation to yield positively for empowerment in the scenario of informal economy. Findings from the two units within the single case utilised revealed that empowerment remains to be one of the entangled processes of economic development. It is highly subjected to social, political and economic procedures operating in a country. The study further revealed that economic empowerment of women participating in income generating projects is considerably constrained by the patriarchal and globalised economic set ups that women operate within. The case of Elelloang Basali illuminated that adherence to contemporary strategies of economic empowerment is a beneficial ingredient, contrary to the operations of Setsoto Design. Recommendations ultimately forwarded highlight the significance of macro-economic policy to pay attention to the assertion that WEE is not merely a path out of poverty but an intrinsic entity of employment-led-growth. This also hints on policy for broad-based growth that can be countercyclical for the economy of the country. The paper serves to articulate a dire need for shift from reluctance to responsiveness for those with political and economic will power.

According to the Taipei Women's Health Life Survey Report, one out of every three women in Taipei want to lose weight, suggesting that more than 30% of women in Taipei feel that they are overweight. The World Health Organization (WHO) officially listed obesity as a chronic disease in 1995. In 2005, the WHO estimated that more than 400 million people were obese worldwide. Obesity has become a key issue in global health in the 21st century. In the past, green tea has proven to have certain effects on weight loss. Clinical studies have indicated that green tea extract can improve blood cholesterol by reducing total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and reduce insulin resistance in obese patients with type 2 diabetes, but there has not been any clinical trial of green tea extracts for obese women low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol. This study aims to examine the effects of Green Tea Extract (GTE) supplement on overweight and obese women with high levels of low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C). The randomized, double-blind, crossover and placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted from August 2012 to July 2013. Seventy-three out of 90 subjects who were included in the analysis, were between the ages of 18 and 65 years old, with a body mass index of (BMI) ≥ 27 kg/m2 and LDL-C ≥ 130 mg/dl. The subjects were randomly divided into Groups A and B. Group A received GTE supplements treatment, while Group B received a placebo daily, for the first 6 weeks. After 6 weeks of treatment and 14 days of washout period, Group A was switched to the placebo and Group B was switched to GTE treatment for a further 6 weeks. The reduction of LDL-C level between treatments was assessed and additionally anthropometric measurements, plasma lipoproteins and hormone peptides of both groups were measured at the beginning of weeks 6, 8, and 14. Subjects treated with GTE (n = 73) for 6 weeks showed significant differences, with 4.8% (p = 0.048) reduction in LDL-C and 25.7% (p = 0.046) increase in leptin. However, there was no statistical difference in the levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein between the GTE and placebo groups after treatments. This study shows that green tea extract effectively increases leptin and reduces LDL-C in overweight and obese women after 6 weeks of treatment, even though there were no significant changes in other biochemical markers related to overweight.

Most women with post-adolescent acne have lesions primarily involving the lower half of the face, and most standard acne treatments have been unsuccessful for them. Green tea is beneficial to human health, and the effects of green tea are mainly attributed to its catechins, such as epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). EGCG can modulate several key pathological factors of acne, including follicular epidermal hyperproliferation, excess sebum production, inflammation, and the presence and activity of Propionibacterium acnes, which led us to hypothesize that EGCG may be a candidate compound for acne therapy. Decaffeinated green tea extracts (GTE), containing a daily dose of 856.8 mg of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) are provided for women with post-adolescent acne to examine its effects. First, we conducted an observational study to assess the correlation between clinical features and the severity of acne using objective measurement, acne lesion counts, in women with post-adolescent acne. The coefficients of multiple regression analysis with stepwise model showed that BMI (β =-0.36; p = 0.001) and family history (β= 0.21; p = 0.04) were the main predictors of the number of acne lesions. Second, we investigated the correlation of TCM syndrome groups and, distribution of acne lesions, and quality of life in women with post-adolescent acne by a cross-sectional study with a self-report questionnaire. Patients with qi deficiency had significant reductions in inflammatory lesions distributed on the cheek (p=0.02), whereas patients with the dampness syndrome had significantly more inflammatory lesions distributed on the nose (p<0.05), perioral area (p=0.03) and chin (p<0.05). Patients with the dryness syndrome had significant reductions in inflammatory lesions distributed on the forehead (p=0.01), cheeks (p<0.001), and in total lesion counts (p=0.03), but had more lesions distributed on the nose (p=0.04) and chin (p=0.02). The patient with the dampness (p=0.001) and wind (p=0.01) syndromes had significantly lower CADI scores. Third, we conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial from May 2012 to October 2013. Eighty women with moderate to severe post-adolescent acne were randomly assigned to receive either decaffeinated GTE containing a daily dose of 856.8 mg EGCG or placebo (cellulose) daily for 4 weeks. Inflammatory lesion counts were used as the major outcome measurement. Sixty-four of 80 women completed the study. Compared to the placebo group, GTE resulted in significant reductions in inflammatory lesion counts distributed on the nose, perioral area and on the chin after treatment. Within-group comparison revealed that the GTE group had significant reductions in inflammatory lesions distributed on the forehead, cheek, in total lesion counts and in total cholesterol levels after treatment. Patients with the dampness syndrome had more acne in the nose and around the mouth and chin. The patients diagnosed with the dampness syndrome and the wind syndrome group had poorer quality of life. TCM acne diagnosis method might improve the care of women with post-adolescent acne. Treatment of GTE resulted in significant reductions in lesions located on the nose, perioral area and chin, supporting the role of GTE in acne treatment. Further study is warranted.

Resumen
This study explores economic conditions among Iraqi refugee women living in urban areas of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan through open-ended interviews. The research aims to address coping mechanisms Iraqi refugee women use to adapt to their financial situation. The goal is to review the proactive efforts women make to turn family units from traditional consumers (buying goods) to producers (making goods) in order to find financial stability. The study incorporates three overarching themes: First, it establishes Iraqi refugee women’s financial status by surveying economic security and employment opportunities. Second, the study investigates how living in urban areas of Jordan affects Iraqi women’s economic status. Thirdly, the study explores how Iraqi refugee women approach their financial situation. How have Iraqi women taken steps to exercise control over their financial lives and improve their economic situation as refugees? The objective of this project is to promote women’s empowerment by creating an open dialogue about Iraqi women’s struggles and to highlight the steps that women take to improve their situation. The study suggests steps that can be taken to aid Iraqi refugees.

Resumen
ABSTRACT This work answers the question “Who was Frances Virginia?” by recovering the story of an Atlanta entrepreneur, Frances Virginia Wikle Whitaker, and her tea room foodservice business. It acknowledges “Frances Virginia,” as the public knew her; and focuses on her career as demonstrative of an under‐theorized form of women’s activism. Her education and proclivity in the once all‐female domain of home economics have important characteristics that are under‐ represented, and often misinterpreted, in today’s discourse. I use a womanist theoretical lens within a historical frame to examine her story as a home economist during the tea room movement of the U. S. feminist movement’s Transition Era, 1920s‐1960s. Together, these elements illuminate the significance of Frances Virginia and her particular form of activism.
