“…Cultural value system of taking care of older persons at home is mostly seen among Buddhists and Hindus (Perera, 1999). Thus, religion plays a vital role in Sri Lankan society in maintaining these traditions of caring for older people.…”

Functional disabilities increase with ageing and limitations in daily living activities (ADLs) occurred as a consequence. Older people living at home may therefore become dependent on family members in managing activities in daily living. As the informal caregivers' role is known to be challenging, their experiences need to be explored to strengthen their new roles as family caregivers. This study aimed at exploring family caregivers' experiences of providing care for older people living at home with limited ADLs in Sri Lanka. Caregivers caring for older people with limitations in activities at home were purposively selected. Limitations in ADL were determined using the Sinhala‐validated Barthel Index. Data were collected through in‐depth interviews with 20 caregivers who cared for older people with several basic self‐care limitations. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. The results consist of three themes related to caring for older people with limited ADLs: committed to providing compassionate care for the activity‐limited older person, trapped in one's own home by caring for the activity‐limited older person and in need of respite and support in caring for older persons with limitations of activity. Motivated to care, adapting to care‐giving challenges, changed life pattern, neglecting one's own health, emotional suffering, lack of knowledge and skills and wanting assistance in care‐giving and with financial support were resultant subthemes. Family caregivers of older people with limited activities living at home, face many challenges to their own health. Supporting interventions will therefore be necessary. An introduction of educational training programmes for informal caregivers would promote the health and well‐being of functionally disabled older people and their caregivers. Developing home‐based care will be a future solution since the availability of informal caregivers will be at risk due to a rapid increase in older people and social changes related to the family structure.

“…These SVAR models have been extensively employed to examine the effect of a monetary policy shock in developed economies, that is, Leeper et al (1996), Cushman and Zha (1997), Kim and Roubini (2000) and Dungey and Pagan (2000) among others. Studies based on the SVAR model which find plausible results of a monetary policy tightening include those of, Tang (2006), Aleem (2010), Davoodi et al (2013), Mengesha and Holmes (2013) and Perera and Wickramanayake (2013) among others. Similar findings based on SVAR models have been observed by Smets and Wouters (2002) and Mojon and Peersman (2003) for the Euro Area and Dale and Haldane (1995) for the UK.…”

This article builds a Structural Vector Autoregressive model and employs non-recursive identification restrictions to examine the effectiveness of the Monetary policy transmission mechanism in India during the Flexible Inflation Targeting regime (2016–2023). The results indicate that policy rate shocks have a significant negative impact on domestic output and prices during this regime. The findings further, reveal evidence of an exchange rate puzzle during the Flexible Inflation Targeting regime. Our results give credence to the RBI’s move towards a Flexible indicator targeting approach as all the macroeconomic variables of interest, that is, Domestic output and inflation produce plausible estimates in response to a monetary policy shock.

“…Behavioral problems in adolescents are a public health concern, since they are common and constitute the basis for the development of other problems of the same nature in adulthood (Perera, 2013). According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO, 2012), at least 20% of the adolescent population could be affected by these problems.…”

This study aimed to correlate, compare and identify the family, personal and demographic variables that may predict behavioral problems in adolescents. A total of 300 adolescents participated, 230 with behavioral problems (177 girls and 53 boys; M= 14.00 years; SD=1.24) and 70 without (47 girls and 23 boys; M=14.09 years; SD=1.33). Data was collected through questionnaires and inventories completed by adolescents and analyzed using Pearson’s correlation, Student’s t-tests and multiple binary logistic regression. Results showed low self-control as a risk factor and social skills and low frequency of physical abuse and maternal neglect as protection factors. The model evaluated had a reasonable predictive power (79.9%, specificity 93.9% and sensitivity 34.3%). The findings contribute to the prevention of behavioral problems in adolescents.
