And single people are more likely to use mobility tools compared to those who are married, according to researchers from University College London (UCL) and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). Researchers looked at information from a group of more than 12,000 adults in England aged 50 to 89 who were tracked over a 13-year period. At the start of the study, 8,225 adults had no mobility difficulty and did not use mobility assistive products (MAPs). Some 2,480 were deemed to have “unmet need” and 1,375 were using mobility aids. During the follow-up period, there were 2,313 “transitions” where people went from having no mobility issues to needing some help with getting around. And 1,274 people started to use mobility aids. Compared with men, women were 49% more likely to transition from not needing mobility aids to needing to use them, according to the study which has been published in The Lancet Public Health. But were 21% less likely to go on to use mobility aids when they needed them. The authors said their study showed “barriers to access” for women. For both men and women, with every year that passed during the study period the need for mobility aids increased. People who were older, less educated, less wealthy or reported being disabled were more likely to “transition from no need to unmet need, and from unmet need to use”, the authors said, with this indicating a “higher prevalence of mobility limitations and MAP need overall among these groups”. They added: “Finally, marital or partnership status was not associated with transitioning to unmet need; however, single people were more likely to transition from unmet need to use compared with married or partnered people.” Jamie Danemayer, first author of the study from UCL Computer Science and UCL’s Global Disability Innovation Hub, said: “Our analysis suggests that there is a clear gender gap in access to mobility aids. “Though our data didn’t ascertain the reason why participants weren’t using mobility aids, other research tells us that women are often more likely than men to face obstacles such as cost barriers as a result of well-documented income disparities between genders. “Many mobility aids are designed for men rather than women, which we think may be a factor. “Using mobility aids can also make a disability visible, which can impact the safety and stigma experienced by women, in particular. “There’s a critical need for further research to identify and break down the barriers preventing women from accessing mobility aids that would improve their quality of life.” Professor Cathy Holloway, also from UCL, added: “Not having access to mobility aids when a person needs one can have a big impact on their independence, well-being and quality of life. “Our analysis suggests that women, in particular, regardless of other factors such as education and employment status, are not getting the support that they need.” Professor Shereen Hussein, senior author of the study and lead of the social care group at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, said: “The research provides compelling evidence of gender disparities in accessing assistive technology, suggesting that cost, design bias, and social stigma are likely to disproportionally affect women. “This underscores the need for inclusive, gender-sensitive approaches in the design, production and inclusivity of assistive technologies.”Trump wants pardoned real estate developer Charles Kushner to be ambassador to France

Bengaluru: In probably a first for public universities of Karnataka, a transgender has been appointed as a guest lecturer at Vijayanagara Sri Krishnadevaraya University (VSKU), Ballari. Renuka Poojari , 27, cracked the interview and joined the Kannada department on Dec 10 this year. According to the university, about 32 candidates had applied for the post. University officials said that Renuka had the merit and performed well in the interview, while the 1% reservation for transgenders also helped. "This could be the first such appointment in the history of public universities in the state. We are extremely happy to have Renuka on board. According to the interview board, she was qualified and extremely good. We also consider this as our moral and social responsibility. There is no difference between genders," said VSKU vice-chancellor, Prof M Muniraju. An alumna of VSKU where she completed her master's degree, Renuka is from Kurugodu in Ballari district. Daughter of daily wage workers, Renuka completed her degree in Kannada from Govt First Grade College, Kurugodu, prior to joining the main campus of Vijayanagara Sri Krishnadevaraya University for her postgraduate studies, where she found the teachers very supportive. "The teachers treated everyone equally. They helped me as much as they help anyone else in the class," Renuka told TOI. Renuka is overjoyed at the achievement. "Getting a job wasn't easy. I attended several interviews in private colleges and schools. But I got rejected for being a third gender. But I did not allow myself to get demotivated and moved forward with optimism, focusing on my goal," she said, adding that her family stood by her through the turmoil. Teaching, Renuka said, has been her passion. "A teacher's role is nothing but nation building. It is God's work. It does not impact just one or two children, but hundreds of lives," she said. Renuka plans to pursue a PhD while she continues teaching and is preparing for the National Eligibility Test and State Eligibility Test.Northwest MPs support nuclear waste decision

After playoff chances slip away, Miami and Iowa State looking to regroup at Pop-Tarts BowlHigh school football: Rice Lake surrenders lead, state title in Wisconsin Division 2 championship game

The National Blood Service Zimbabwe (NBSZ) has announced a severe shortage of blood Group O, with stocks projected to last less than 24 hours. NBSZ CEO Lucy Maruo made an urgent appeal to donors aged 16-65 to donate blood, especially those with blood Group O, which is in high demand due to its universal donor capabilities and limited recipient compatibility. Over 50% of Zimbabwe's blood donors belong to Group O, yet the group is quickly depleted as it is heavily used in hospitals. Maruo emphasized the importance of replenishing supplies, particularly during the festive season, and encouraged new and lapsed donors to step forward. Despite this challenge, the NBSZ has made progress in its annual collection targets, having collected 71,544 units of blood by November 30, surpassing the total for 2023. The festive season campaign aims to collect 7,460 units by mid-January, with clinics remaining open throughout the holiday period, except on major public holidays. Maruo celebrated the growth in donations while stressing the critical need for Group O blood to meet ongoing demand and save lives during the festive period.CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Miami probably was one win away from getting into the College Football Playoff. Iowa State definitely was one win away. Their consolation prize of sorts: playing one another. The Hurricanes and Cyclones — a meteorological matchup — have accepted bids to the Pop-Tarts Bowl, to be played Dec. 28 in Orlando, Florida. Iowa State (10-3) is looking for its first 11-win season in the program's 133-year history, and Miami (10-2) is seeking its first 11-win season since 2003. Miami's loss at Syracuse to close the regular season wound up being the game the Hurricanes could point to as the reason they missed out on the CFP. Iowa State could have played its way in and lost the Big 12 title game to CFP-bound Arizona State on Saturday. “I think everyone that doesn't get in feels disappointment,” Miami coach Mario Cristobal said. “We feel the onus of just doing better. Just do better, go forward, have an opportunity to get better.” It's essentially the same task for both teams: regrouping after seeing the playoff slip away.
