TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the ways Madhesi men and Pahadi women enter into courtship and negotiate their marriages and argue that new forms of subjectivity emphasizing individual choice and agency have emerged among the younger generation in Nepal and South Asia in general.
Abstract: In South Asia, marriages are overwhelmingly endogamous. In recent years, new forms of self-initiated marriages, such as love-marriages and love-arranged marriages, are beginning to emerge among the younger generation. In these new forms, young people exercise considerable choice and agency; however, when the couple crosses caste and ethnic boundaries, parents and kin often take the defiance of the younger generation as instances of dereliction of duty and transgression of family and community values. Cases of intermarriage, thus, offer a unique opportunity to investigate the social and cultural changes a society is undergoing. Based on qualitative research, conducted in southern Nepal, this paper examines the ways Madhesi (plains dwellers) men and Pahadi (hill dwellers) women enter into courtship and negotiate their marriages. We argue that new forms of subjectivity emphasizing individual choice and agency have begun to emerge among the younger generation in Nepal—and South Asia in general. The new subjectivity has unfolded in tandem with structural transformations of the economy, the state, and the culture.

TL;DR: In this article, the background of the genomic and bioinformatics revolution, its application areas, and the perspective of personalized medicine is discussed from a medical point of view, where the authors address the background and application areas of the personalized medicine.
Abstract: Abstract The rapid development of molecular biology over the past seventy years led to the molecular understanding of the structure and function of hereditary material in the living world. Through the processing of the gigantic amount of data obtained as a result of technological advances and the exploration of different mechanisms of action, information technology has become an indispensable part of genomic research. This article addresses the background of the genomic and bioinformatics revolution, its application areas, and the perspective of personalized medicine.

TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical model using the system of non-linear ordinary differential equations is formulated by using next generation matrix method, the basic reproduction number is computed which gives the rate of susceptible individual getting divorce.
Abstract: Abstract: Every person in this world is deemed to find his or her partner sooner or later. It can be love or arranged marriage and some may seek for compassion as an extra marital affair. Due to which they may face separation leading to divorce in few cases. Certain examples of negotiations are also reported where couples reunite and give their marriage a second possible chance. This scenario is formulated by a mathematical model using the system of non-linear ordinary differential equations. Also, using next generation matrix method, the basic reproduction number is computed which gives the rate of susceptible individual getting divorce. Stability analysis for equilibrium points and numerical simulations are carried out to validate the data.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the morally embedded discourses on women in Fengyuebao, a lightweight journal that survived the ban on Chinese implemented in April 1937, and argue that both male authors portray women in polarized ways, heightening the stark contrast between morally degraded "modern" women and their ideal vision of "wise wives and good mothers" in Taiwan in the 1930s.
Abstract: This chapter examines the morally embedded discourses on women in Fengyuebao, a lightweight journal that survived the ban on Chinese implemented in April 1937. It offers a close reading of love/marriage works by Fengyuebao’s two main editors Xu Kunquan and Wu Mansha. It argues that both male authors portray women in polarized ways, heightening the stark contrast between morally degraded “modern” women and their ideal vision of “wise wives and good mothers” (xianqi liangmu) in Taiwan in the 1930s. Although those stories contain some “modern” elements, the overall options open to the fictional Taiwanese females remain few. While Xu pondered upon the concept of motherhood consistently, Wu used women as the bearers of his moral or political messages. Finally, it analyzes the melodramatic rhetoric ubiquitous in these romances, maintaining that the dichotomous female characterization manifests the male novelists’ semi-new, semi-old gendered vision of modernity.
