Their alliance position between the community and health system allows them to provide services to the most marginalised groups. However, LHWs face numerous challenges and issues resulting in reduced efficiency and effectiveness of LHW program. Aims: The study aims to identify the challenges highlighted in various studies that undermine the performance of LHWs and attempts to combine the recommendations of the studies for addressing these challenges. Methods: Literature search included articles from 2000 to 2024. PubMed and Google Scholar were the main search engines utilized. Initial search resulted in 1380 articles, out of which only those showing a link to the study title were included in the study. From the total articles searched, 55 were selected for writing this article. Results: Literature highlighted the importance of community selection, monitoring, monetary as well as non-financial incentives;trainings;availability of supervision, workload balance, monitoring;recognition, clarity on roles, resources and uninterrupted supply of logistics, support and embedment of LHWs in community and health system. Lack or poor quality of these aspects may lead to low performance of LHWs. Conclusions: This paper explores the extent of issues and challenges faced by LHWs in Pakistan. A number of interventions appear to be effective in improving the efficiency of LHWs in Pakistan. The review may serve as an essential resource for program planners and decision-makers in improving the effectiveness and efficiency of LHW programs.展开更多

Lady Macbeth, the primary tragic female character in the play, seems to be different from other typical female roles portrayed by Shakespeare, and is often characterized by the world as vicious and ambitious. Being in a patriarchal society, Lady Macbeth awakens to female self-awareness and lust for power. She silently rebels against the oppression and constraints imposed by the society, ultimately paying the price of her life. By analyzing the process of Lady Macbeth’s subversion of the identity of the Other from the perspective of feminist criticism, this article offers a new interpretation of Lady Macbeth’s image and delves into the underlying causes of her tragedy. It suggests that it is often difficult for women to break free from the oppressive shackles of a patriarchal society in their pursuit for equality, freedom and power. The path to women’s liberation is long and arduous, which still requires unwavering efforts and perseverance from all.展开更多

While the wings and other colored portions of the cuticle re-gained the red color, the eyes of the pigmentation deficient insects were not changed from the pale mutant form. Plant derived carotenes lycopene and beta-carotene did not restore the mutant beetles to a visibly distinguishable red color. An additional pigmentation deficient mutant strain, gold, partially recovered red cuticle color when provided with diet containing pigmented insect particles. This work represents the first rescue of a color phenotype in a lady beetle.展开更多

Carter is known as an eccentric feminist, however due to her radical attitude towards marriage, woman and prostitute; she is criticized and denounced by some other feminists. Female protagonists in her short story are often depicted as fatal women. On the other hand, as a post-modernist writer, Carter constantly explores fundamental questions like the nature of language, the relationship between text, reader and author, etc. How does Carter depict a fatal woman? What are the answers towards those essential inquiries? With those questions in mind, this paper will first analyze one of the typical Carter's heroines Lady Purple, to examine the multiple identities in this persona and then analyze the meta-fictional features in this short story.展开更多
