    Abstract In India, family caregivers (FCs) play a major role in providing care to their older kin during hospitalization. This article explores the challenges encountered by them while providing care in a public hospital. It draws upon empirical insights obtained through interviews with 54 FCs and field observations. The findings show that the hospital was not congenial for FCs and exposes the factors impeding their caregiving role. FC experience was found to be highly complex and fraught with multiple practical challenges during admission, in-hospital treatment, and at discharge. All these had repercussions on various aspects of their own life and well-being like poor health outcomes, financial stress, and social isolation. The article concludes that the needs, preferences, and challenges of the FCs need to be considered to make hospitals conducive for FCs of older people.

    Abstract While undergoing gelation transition, a material passes through a distinctive state called the critical gel state. In the neighborhood of this critical gel state, how viscosity, equilibrium modulus, and relaxation times evolve are correlated by scaling relations, and their universality has been validated for materials undergoing the sol to gel transition. In this work, we extend this approach for the gel to sol transition of a thermoresponsive polymeric system of aqueous Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH) gel that passes through the critical state upon increasing temperature. We observe that, in the neighborhood of the critical gel state, the equilibrium modulus and viscosity demonstrate a power law dependence on the relative distance from the critical state in terms of normalized temperature. Furthermore, the relaxation times in the gel and the sol state shows symmetric power law divergence near the critical state. The corresponding critical power law exponents and the dynamic critical exponents computed at the critical gel to sol transition state validate the scaling and hyperscaling relations originally proposed for the critical sol to gel transition very well. Remarkably, the dependence of complex viscosity on frequency at different temperatures shows a comprehensive mastercurve irrespective of the temperature ramp rate independently in the gel and the sol state. This observation demonstrates how the shape of relaxation time spectrum is independent of both the temperature as well as the ramp rate. Since sol to gel as well as the gel to sol transitions are opposite to each other, the applicability of the scaling relations validated in this work suggests broader symmetry associated with how the structure evolves around the critical state irrespective of the direction.

  4. Article ; Online: Exploring self-care abilities among women in prisons of West Bengal, India.

    Abstract Purpose: Self-care is defined as the ability to take care of one's body and health with or without the help of healthcare personnel. The purpose of this paper is to explore the opportunities for self-care among imprisoned women within the constraints of a confined life, which, in turn, affect their health.
    Design/methodology/approach: Primary data have been collected through semi-structured interviews with 90 women in three prisons in the Indian state of West Bengal.
    Findings: Findings reveal that a majority of the women cited the inability to self-care was due to factors such as constricted architecture, specific penal policies that thwarted relational contexts in prisons and also the loss of control over their consumptive choices. However, it was found that coping mechanisms also existed among some women who actively constituted penal spaces for self-care. Many long-term imprisoned women tried to actively engage themselves in daily activities such as the "labour" allotted to them.
    Practical implications: The paper concludes that abilities to self-care have a deep impact on the health of women, which if not facilitated will lead to a health depleting experience. At a time when Indian prisons are focussing on rehabilitation, the recommendations for providing opportunities for self-care in prisons can minimize the "pains" of imprisonment and pave the way for rehabilitation.
    Originality/value: The research is based on data collected during original fieldwork conducted in three prisons in West Bengal, India. It provides valuable insights on how penal environments affect self-care opportunities of imprisoned women.

  5. Book ; Online: On the Nature of Flow Curve and Categorization of Thixotropic Yield Stress Materials

    Abstract Thixotropy is a phenomenon related to time dependent change in viscosity in presence or absence of flow. The yield stress, on the other hand, represents the minimum value of stress above which steady flow can be sustained. In addition, the yield stress of a material may also change as a function of time. Both these characteristic features in a material strongly influence the steady state flow curve of the same. This study aims to understand the interrelation between thixotropy, yield stress and their relation with the flow curve. In this regard, we study five thixotropic materials that show yield stress. The relaxation time of all the five systems shows power-law dependence on aging time with behaviors ranging from weaker than linear, linear to stronger than linear. Furthermore, the elastic modulus and yield stress has been observed to be constant for some systems while time dependent for the others. We also analyze the experimental behavior through a viscoelastic thixotropic structural kinetic model that predicts the observed experimental behavior of constant as well as time-dependent yield stress quite well. These findings indicate that a non-monotonic steady-state flow curve in a structural kinetic formalism necessarily leads to time-dependent yield stress, while constant yield stress is predicted by a monotonic steady-state flow curve with stress plateau in the limit of low shear rates. The present work, therefore, shows that thixotropic materials may exhibit either monotonic or non-monotonic flow curves. Consequently, thixotropic materials may show no yield stress, constant yield stress or time-dependent yield stress.

    Abstract Aim: This study makes an assessment of end-of-life care of the elderly in private homes in Kolkata, West Bengal, India.
    Participants and methods: Primary data were collected from private homes which supported elder care through observation and semi-structured interviews with primary family caregivers of the elderly.
    Results: The study finds that the major factors preventing private homes from providing adequate care to the elderly were architecturally inadequate housing conditions, paucity of financial support, and scarcity of skilled caregivers. Besides, considerable neglect and domestic abuse of the elderly was also found in some private homes. In addition, the peripheral location of private homes within public health framework and inadequate state palliative policy, including stringent narcotic regulations, accentuated the problems of home care.
    Conclusion: The study concludes by questioning the rhetoric of private homes as spaces for the dying elderly in Kolkata and suggests remedial measures to improve their capacity to deliver care.
