\u3ci\u3eMrs. Dalloway\u3c/i\u3e (1925) vs. \u3ci\u3eThe Hours\u3c/i\u3e (2002): How does the patriarchy infringe on the autonomy of marginalized characters?

Fans of Virginia Woolf know that her literature, such as A Room of One’s Own and Mrs. Dalloway, cover feminist themes. In adaptations of Virginia Woolf’s work, the same feminist themes are present. For example, Michael Cunningham’s The Hours, based on three women whose lives are connected through Virginia Woolf’s novel Mrs. Dalloway, carries similar feminist themes. In the 2002 adaptation of The Hours, directed by Stephen Daldry, the relationships between men and women in the film illustrate how the patriarchy operates socially. To those who don’t know Virginia Woolf’s work well or are unaware of how Virginia’s feminist theories bleed into other work, I will examine how the feminist themes of Mrs. Dalloway influenced the feminist themes present in the film adaptation of The Hours (2002). As I examine the feminist themes of both works, I will discuss how the setting, character, and other literary devices illustrate how the patriarchy operates socially. My method to examine how the feminist themes of Mrs. Dalloway influence the feminist themes of the 2002 film adaptation of The Hours includes looking at texts through a close lens and researching what other scholars have found, all while looking through the lens of feminist theory

Review of aquaculture and fish consumption in Bangladesh

Fish play a crucial role in the Bangladeshi diet, providing more than 60% of animal source food, representing a crucial source of micro-nutrients, and possessing an extremely strong cultural attachment. Fish (including shrimp and prawn) is the second most valuable agricultural crop, and its production contributes to the livelihoods and employment of millions. The culture and consumption of fish therefore has important implications for national food and nutrition security, poverty and growth. This review examines the current state of knowledge on the aquaculture sector and fish consumption in Bangladesh, based on extensive analysis of secondary sources (including unpublished data unavailable elsewhere), consultation with various experts and specially conducted surveys. The review is comprised of three sections. Section 1 describes the main systems of aquaculture production in terms of their technical and social characteristics and outputs. Section 2 addresses issues relating to seed and feed. The final section analyses fish consumption patterns and demand, and attempts to estimate the volumes of fish produced from a range of sources.Food fish, Aquaculture, Food consumption, Fish consumption, Pond culture, Rice field aquaculture, Bangladesh,

Criminal sentencing by preferred numbers

Criminal sentencing is a complex cognitive activity often performed by the unaided mind under suboptimal conditions. As such, sentencers may not behave according to policy, guidelines and training. We analyzed the distribution of sentences meted out in one year in two different jurisdictions (i.e., England and Wales, and New South Wales, Australia). We reveal that sentencers prefer certain numbers when meting out sentence lengths (in custody and community service) and amounts (for fines/compensation). These ‘common doses’ accounted for over 90% of sentences in each jurisdiction. The size of these doses increased as sentences became more severe, and doses followed a logarithmic pattern. These findings are compatible with psychological research on preferred numbers and are reminiscent of Weber’s and Fechner’s laws. Our findings run contrary to arguments against efforts to reduce judicial discretion, and potentially undermine the notion of individualized justice, as well as raise questions about the (cost) effectiveness of sentencing

Communication strategies for managing coastal fisheries conflicts in Bangladesh

Fisheries management involves balancing the competing demands of different users of fishery resources.Conflicts among fisheries stakeholders arise due to differences in power, interests, values, priorities, and manner of resource exploitation.Conflicts also emanate from institutional failures in managing fisheries and enforcing laws and regulations.Effective targeted communication has a key role to play in managing conflicts between fisheries stakeholders.This paper assesses a fisheries conflict communication framework called FishCom, a tool for developing plans and strategies for managing conflicts in coastal fisheries in Bangladesh. FishCom is a structured participatory process intended for use by policymakers and fishery managers.The results show that effective communication plans can play a significant role in eliminating conflicts
