The article is based on a qualitative study using narrative interviews with 13 South Bohemian Pervitin users who visit the drug advisory centre. The goal of the article is to describe how social exclusion is subjectively experienced by Pervitin users. The data were processed with the help of grounded theory. The respondents feel to be excluded in a number of normal life areas: they are rejected by their family, friends, and also by public institutions - particularly by the police and by health care facilities. Social exclusion is accompanied by feelings of guilt and remorse for the users. They are also ashamed of their situation, feeling sorrow and disappointed themselves. In some cases, the users are angry with themselves, in other cases with their surroundings for rejecting them. In both variants, exclusion may constitute an important factor in reducing the users' chances of abstinence.

Background: Most health research on Nepali migrant workers in India is on sexual health, whilst work, lifestyle and health care access issues are under-researched. Methods: The qualitative study was carried out in two cities of Maharashtra State in 2017. Twelve focus group discussions (FGDs) and five in-depth interviews were conducted with Nepali male and female migrant workers. Similarly, eight interviews were conducted with stakeholders, mostly representatives of organisations working for Nepali migrants in India using social capital as a theoretical foundation. Results: Five main themes emerged from the analysis: (i) accommodation; (ii) lifestyle, networking and risk-taking behaviours; (iii) work environment; (iv) support from local organisations; and (v) health service utilisation. Lack of basic amenities in accommodation, work-related hazards such as lack of safety measures at work or safety training, reluctance of employers to organise treatment for work-related accidents, occupational health issues such as long working hours, high workload, no/limited free time, discrimination by co-workers were identified as key problems. Nepali migrants have limited access to health care facilities due to their inability to prove their identity. Health system of India also discriminates as some treatment is restricted to Indian nationals. The strength of this study is the depth it offers, its limitations includes a lack of generalizability, the latter is a generic issue in such qualitative research. Conclusion: This study suggests risks to Nepali migrant workers’ health in India range from accommodation to workplace and from their own precarious lifestyle habit to limited access to health care facilities. We must conduct a quantitative study on a larger population to establish the prevalence of the above mentioned issues and risks. Furthermore, the effectiveness of Nepali migrant support organisations in mitigating these risks needs to be researched.

Method Approach

The role of traditional birth attendants a few years ago was to help and care for mothers from the time of pregnancy until the puerperium was completed, including assisting during childbirth. However, since the issuance of Minister of Health Regulation No. 97/2014 which stipulates that childbirth must be carried out in health care facilities, TBAs no longer play a role in the labor process. This study aims to find out more about the role of TBAs in educating mothers during pregnancy and postpartum in Todanan Sub-district. This research is a qualitative study with an interview and record method approach conducted in Dalangan Village, Todanan Subdistrict, Blora Regency. The subjects in this study were a TBA who was still actively working. From this study, it can be seen that although TBAs have no role in the childbirth process, the dukun still has several roles in the education of pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers. To pregnant women, TBAs provide education about hygiene and breastfeeding preparation and anticipate unwanted problems before childbirth. After childbirth, the TBA is in charge of bathing the baby, doing massage, and shaving the baby's hair. In carrying out these tasks, TBAs provide education about mother and baby hygiene, how to breastfeed, and about immunization. Through this research, it is expected that the public's insight, especially women, will be more open about the duties of TBAs in educating pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers. This study also contributed to giving consideration to patients and midwives in collaborating with TBAs.

Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir is a reservoir of enormous natural resources including the wealth of medicinal plants. The present paper deals with 12 medicinal plant species belonging to 8 genera of angiosperms used on pneumonia in cattle such as cows, sheep, goats and buffaloes in different areas of Poonch district. Due to poverty and nonavailability of modern health care facilities, the indigenous people of the area partially or fully depend on surrounding medicinal plants to cure the different ailments of their cattles. Further research on modern scientific line is necessary to improve their efficacy, safety and validation of the traditional knowledge.
