“…Hal ini dapat terjadi dengan mempertimbangkan intervensi kebijakan yang tepat dalam meningkatkan tingkat pendidikan dan menciptakan peluang wirausaha dalam memberdayakan perempuan dan mengurangi kemiskinan (Biswal et al, 2023). Penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa berbagai kegiatan sektor informal dapat dijadikan sebagai upaya perbaikan kesejahteraan ekonomi perempuan dengan dampak positif dari segi pendapatan, kontribusi untuk pengeluaran rumah tangga, pengambilan keputusan di rumah, partisipasi masyarakat, gizi keluarga, perolehan aset dan kualitas tempat tinggal (Peprah et al, 2023).…”

Perempuan memiliki peran yang penting dalam posisinya dalam kehidupan rumah tangga, namun hal ini sering dijadikan sebagai penyebab utama perempuan memiliki keterbatasan dalam bidang lainnya seperti ekonomi, pendidikan bahkan politik. Negeri Kedah merupakan salah satu daerah yang ada di Malaysia yang menjadi lokasi kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat berskala international. Kegiatan ini diadakan untuk melihat sejauhmana peran pemberdayaan perempuan dalam keterlibatannya mencapai tujuan Sustainable Development Goals tentang kemiskinan. Untuk itu kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini akan memberikan solusi bagi masyarakat Kedah dengan tujuan untuk memberikan pengetahuan kepada mitra mengenai pemberdayaan perempuan dalam peningkatan nilai ekonomi, sosial dan budaya serta upaya-upaya yang dapat dilakukan dalam peningkatannya. Metode yang digunakan dalam pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah melalui sosialisasi penyampaian materi dan diskusi yanya jawab langsung kepada masyarakat. Hasil yang diperoleh dari kegiatan ini adalah kemampuan kaum perempuan yang lebih rendah dari kaum laki-laki, adanya keterlibatan budaya dalam masyarakat serta kurang berfungsinya peran lembaga masyarakat setempat. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat yang dilakukan dalam bentuk sosialisasi kepada kelomok perempuan di Kampung Singkir Kedah Malaysia mampu memberikan pengetahuan dan pemahaman akan pentingnya peran perempuan dalam meningkatkan ekonomi keluarga dengan cara meningkatkan kualitas diri melalui interaksi sosial dan pendidikan yang baik.

“…Os receptores mais proeminentes, denominados CB1 e CB2, foram nomeados pela International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (IUPHAR) de acordo com sua ordem de identificação, desempenhando papéis essenciais na regulação de diversas funções fisiológicas, conforme figura 1 (Saito, Wotjak, & Moreira, 2010;Śmiarowska et al, 2022). A Cannabis medicinal tem sido considerada como uma alternativa terapêutica devido à sua capacidade de interagir com os sistemas neurotransmissores envolvidos nos sintomas da demência e na doença de Parkinson (DP) (Peprah K;McCormack S, 2019;Deuel & Seeberger, 2020).…”

Introdução: A crescente atenção pela Cannabis medicinal, reflete interesses em suas propriedades terapêuticas, que são exploradas desde os povos ancestrais. Compostos como o tetra-hidrocanabinol (THC) e o canabidiol (CBD) despertam interesse científico devido às suas potenciais aplicações medicinais. Objetivo: Fornecer uma visão abrangente do potencial terapêutico da Cannabis medicinal e suas aplicações clínicas. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura científica disponível nas bases de dados PubMed (US National Library of Medicine), SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online) e Web of Science. Foram selecionados estudos que se relacionavam com o uso terapêutico da Cannabis em diferentes condições médicas, utilizando os seguintes critérios de inclusão: descritores cadastrados do Decs (((Medical Marijuana) AND (Therapy)) AND (Clinical)) AND (Diseases)), textos completos gratuitos, publicados em revistas revisadas por pares, artigos disponíveis em inglês e português, e publicados nos últimos 5 anos (2019 a 2024). Os estudos que não estavam diretamente relacionados ao tema proposto foram excluídos da análise. Resultados: Esta revisão analisou um total de 81 artigos, dos quais apenas 8 foram considerados pertinentes para o tema em estudo. O estudo evidenciou uma variedade de aplicações clínicas da Cannabis medicinal, incluindo alívio da dor, redução da ansiedade e controle de convulsões em pacientes com epilepsia, entre outros. Esses resultados fornecem informações valiosas para profissionais de saúde e pesquisadores interessados no potencial terapêutico da Cannabis. Conclusão: A Cannabis medicinal apresenta um potencial terapêutico significativo em várias aplicações clínicas, oferecendo uma alternativa promissora para pacientes que buscam tratamentos complementares ou alternativos. No entanto, são necessárias mais pesquisas para elucidar os mecanismos de ação e otimizar sua utilização clínica.

“…Women's economic empowerment is a critical component in global development, with studies suggesting that attaining gender equality could contribute up to $12 trillion to the global GDP (Amaral and Daza, 2021). Many countries that are still developing are grappling with various difficulties, including but not limited to high population growth rates and limited opportunities for women to access education and employment (Bandiera et al, 2020).To overcome these barriers, scholars have stressed the importance of empowering women through access to resources and agricultural inputs (Adusah-Poku et al, 2022 ;Ghasemi et al, 2021;Mosedale, 2005;Peprah et al, 2022), ; Yirga et al, 2012). This is especially true in rural areas such as Ethiopia, where research has found that due to social norms and "limited access to education and employment opportunities", women are being held back economically in particular (World Bank, 2015Bank, ,2016).…”

The study examined the impact of social, demographic, and economic factors on the economic empowerment of rural women in agricultural activities in Ethiopia's Dire Dawa region, using a mixed-methods research approach. The research team collected data from a sample of 419 women engaged in agricultural activities and used the proportional odds model (POM) and the partial proportional odds model (PPOM) to identify the factors associated with economic empowerment. The study found that age, property ownership, and education and training had a negative effect, while social networks and media had a positive effect on economic empowerment. The results also showed that women aged 40 and above had a lower likelihood of being economically empowered, and lack of property ownership and limited contact with extension agents hurt economic empowerment. The study recommended improving women's access to credit, land ownership, and training opportunities to promote gender equity and women's economic empowerment in the agricultural sector in Ethiopia. This study contributes to the literature by using a mixed-methods approach that integrated qualitative data with quantitative data, which has not been used before in Ethiopia. The findings provide important implications for policymakers and development practitioners in promoting gender equity and women's economic empowerment in the agricultural sector. The study highlights the need to address the challenges that women face in achieving economic empowerment, including limited access to credit, training, and land ownership. By improving access to these resources, policymakers and development practitioners can create an enabling environment that fosters women's economic empowerment and promotes gender equity in Ethiopia's agricultural sector.
