This study explores how self-managed organizational structures can enhance India’s home-based healthcare. Through qualitative insights from healthcare management professionals, it highlights trust, collaboration, and autonomy as keys to creating efficient, compassionate, and resilient care systems.

The study explores how self-managed organizational structures can enhance home-based healthcare in India. Using grounded theory interviews with nurses and patients, it identifies key enablers—insightfulness, job enrichment, and autonomy-driven intrapreneurship—that empower nurses and improve care.

This article highlights the invisible pillars of labour exploitation on a global scale, namely women's unpaid work and the wealth and services provided by the environment that go unvalued, thereby relativising the emphasis on business ethics from a neoliberal perspective.

Participants viewed a close-miked eating-ASMR clip in the lab, and real-time tingling ratings rose in near synchrony with bite acoustics. Despite no physical contact, several reported a tactile tingling—the paradox at ASMR’s core: sound and image that feel like touch.

Research has shown that the present-day population on the Indian subcontinent derives its ancestry from at least three components identified with pre-Indo-Iranian agriculturalists once inhabiting the Iranian plateau, pastoralists originating from the Pontic-Caspian steppe and ancient hunter-gatherer related to the Andamanese Islanders. The present-day Indian gene pool represents a gradient of mixtures from these three sources. However, with more sequences of ancient and modern genomes and fine structure analyses, we can expect a more complex picture of ancestry to emerge. Focusing on Dravidian linguistic groups, this study proposes a fourth putative source potentially branching from the basal Middle Eastern component that contributed to the Iranian plateau farmer related ancestry. The Elamo-Dravidian theory and the linguistic phylogeny of the Dravidian family tree provide chronological fits for the genetic findings presented here. Our findings show a correlation between the linguistic and genetic lineages in language communities speaking Dravidian languages when they are modelled together. We suggest that this source we identified in the Koraga tribe, which we shall call ‘Proto-Dravidian’ ancestry, emerged around the dawn of the Indus Valley civilisation. This ancestry is distinct from all other sources described so far, and its plausible origin not later than 4400 years ago on the region between the Iranian plateau and the Indus valley supports a Dravidian heartland before the arrival of Indo-European languages on the Indian subcontinent. Admixture analysis shows that this Proto-Dravidian ancestry is still carried by most modern inhabitants of the Indian subcontinent other than the tribal populations.

At a conference in 2016, shortly after the release of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the question was asked, "How should we measure a nexus of the SDGs?" Who knew that this question would lead me down a path of enquiry that would lead to a PhD and the development of a global index?

Late Pleistocene herbivore communities in northern Malawi included a higher abundance of grazers than expected given prevalent vegetation. We used a model of bioavailable strontium isotopic variability and strontium isotopes in fossil teeth to understand the habitat preferences of these animals.
