Empowering leadership of tomorrow
Empowering Leadership of Tomorrow' examines leadership that enables and empowers others to co-participate, co-create, and experience the joy of creativity. It proposes a kind of leadership that fosters bottom-up dynamics, empowering people, groups, teams, and societies. Praszkier shows how this approach, called Empowering Leadership (EL), can drive success in business and, in the case of social entrepreneurship, have an immense social impact. Furthermore, he shows that EL style is also beneficial in other fields, such as parenting and counseling. The book presents diverse case studies from business and social arenas, as well as from family life. It establishes practical guidelines for leadership development, including methods to enhance creativity, and also casts an eye toward the future, demonstrating approaches to navigating future scenarios in a complex and unpredictable environment.

Does empowerment through corruption reduce gender inequalities? The case of women in sub-Saharan Africa
The objective of this study is to determine how perception of corruption affects the relationship between women’s empowerment and gender inequality in Sub-Saharan Africa. To do this, it uses two estimators of the generalized method of moments on a sample of 45 countries between 2002 and 2021. It shows that empowerment produces beneficial effects in reducing gender inequalities in countries working to fight corruption. Especially regarding economic empowerment, a government integrity rating of at least 25% is required. This threshold rises to 31% for political empowerment and on average to 32% for social empowerment. These thresholds vary between the different components of each component, but they remain between 25 and 35%.

Desenho e avaliação de uma intervenção para pais de bebês prematuros: um estudo de métodos mistos
Objetivo: desenhar e avaliar uma intervenção para fortalecer a competência no cuidado de filhos prematuros.Método: trata-se de um estudo de intervenção de métodos mistos, exploratório e sequencial. A teoria fundamentada foi aplicada na primeira fase. Participaram 12 mães e 4 pais. Na segunda fase, um estudo-piloto randomizado foi implementado com 14 mães em cada grupo. A principal variável de resposta foi a competência para o cuidado. A escala CUIDAR Ma-Pre foi administrada na medição basal e em duas medições de acompanhamento.Resultados: quatro categorias emergiram: Enfrentando o parto prematuro, Vivenciando o cotidiano da prematuridade na Unidade Neonatal, Empoderando-se para o cuidado do bebê prematuro e Cuidando do filho prematuro em casa. Empoderando-se para o cuidado do bebê prematuro foi a categoria central. Esses resultados foram integrados ao desenho da intervenção. A avaliação encontrou diferenças a favor da intervenção. A diferença não foi estatisticamente significativa entre os grupos, mas sim intragrupo (Grupo de Controle n=13, basal 82,15; na alta 117,08, p=0,000 vs. Grupo de Intervenção n=14, basal 80,71; na alta 121,14, p=0,000).Conclusão: o empoderamento foi essencial para a experiência; uma intervenção com essa abordagem é conveniente, e sua avaliação preliminar sugere que ela pode melhorar a competência para o cuidado. É pertinente um estudo em maior escala. ClinicalTrials.gov. Identificador: NCT05005988.

Gender and Access to Land Ownership: Christian Reflection on the Experience of Malawian Widows
Most women in Malawi encounter gender-based discrimination and violence when attempting to access land rights. Although legally land is transferred from parents to children, culturally in practical terms, land is either controlled by a brother or an uncle, leaving female members of the family with no decision-making powers. Upon the death of the husband, the widow loses property jointly held with the husband, as well as her own marital property to either the brother of the husband, or to her own brothers and uncles. Regardless of the many years spent in building their life together while enjoying the land they lived on and cared for together, unfortunately, the death of her husband leaves the widow with nothing. Lack of civic education makes many widows remain ignorant of the fact that the Malawian law protects them, and their land claims. This ignorance contributes to the suffering and impoverishment of many widows and leads some to live in acute poverty. The church has a special obligation to protect the rights of widows. It has an obligation to help empower women to secure land and the right to land so that widows can contribute to the larger community. Using a narrative approach, this article will demonstrate the difficulties faced by Malawian widows in terms of land claims. Current practices of inheritance and the ways widows are dispossessed will be uplifted through widows’ own stories about their lived realities. The article will conclude by proffering constructive proposals about how the church can empower widows to find solutions to these very real problems
