FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG MEMPENGARUHI KEJADIAN PERDARAHAN POSTPARTUM

Abstract: This study was observational analytical study with case control method and retrospective approach. The samples were 80 mothers with 40 case samples and 40 control. The bivariate analysis technique used Chi-Square and the multivariate analysis used multiple logistic regression. The results of the bivariate analysis showed that there were three variables that have correlation with postpartum bleeding namely parity (p-value = 0.042, OR = 0.351), oxytocin drip (p-value = 0.002, OR = 8.222) and anemia (p-value = 0.016, OR = 4.846). The midwives are expected to be cautious in providing delivery care to the mothers who have risk factors for postpartum bleeding. Keywords: partum, risk factors bleeding , postpartum bleeding
Incidence and in vitro susceptibility profile of Plasmodium falciparum isolates to antimalarial agents in Lafia, Nigeria

Malaria burden has been reported to be wide spread worldwide. The level of Plasmodium species resistance to recommended antimalarial drugs has also been reported to be on the increase. Thus It is necessary to monitor antimalarial drugs’ efficacy and the intensity of malaria in Nigeria. This study was designed to determine the incidence of malaria and the susceptibility of Plasmodium falciparum isolates from patients of Dalhatu Araf Specialist Hospital Lafia to reported prescribed Antimalarials in Lafia. A retrospective study was carried out to know the pattern of antimalarial drug prescriptions, age and gender of malaria patients for 2014, 2015 and 2016. The antimalarial susceptibility of Plasmodium falciparum was also carried out by the method used by Peletiri et al., 2012. The observed Malaria prevalence was 5.9%, 4.4% and 4.8% for 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively. The incidences of malaria among different age groups were 19.07%, 15.86%, and 44.30% for 0-5 years, 6-18 years and 19 years above respectively. Malaria was observed higher in females 58.2%, than male 41.1%. Antimalarial drug prescription was basically Artemisinin combination therapy 88.67%. Out of the 91 Plasmodium falciparum isolates evaluated, 32 (35.16%) were resistant to piperaquine, 26 (28.57%) were resistant to artesunate, 25 (27.00%) were resistant to chloroquine, 16 (17.58%) were resistant to Lumefantrine and 10 (10.99%) were resistant to artemether. This study gives current information on the incidence of reported malaria and antimalarial susceptibility pattern of Plasmodium falciparum Isolates in Lafia Nigeria. Keywords : Plasmodium falciparum , Artesunate, Artemether, Chloroquine, Lumefantrine, Piperaquine.
Direct Radiative Effect of Absorbing Aerosols: Sensitivity to Mixing State, Brown Carbon, and Soil Dust Refractive Index and Shape

Black carbon (BC), brown carbon (BrC), and soil dust are the most relevant radiation‐absorbing aerosols in the climate system, and uncertainties of their absorbing optical properties are large. We performed a 5‐year simulation with the GEOS‐Chem global chemistry and transport model and calculated the aerosol optical properties testing different mixing state assumptions and absorption properties of BC and BrC, refractive index, and shape of soil dust. We found that the core‐shell (CS) internal mixing representation produces the most accurate absorption aerosol optical depth and single‐scattering albedo at Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) Sun photometers site observations dominated by carbonaceous absorption. Dust absorption is sensitive to the assumed refractive index. The nonspherical shape of dust improves the simulation at sites dominated by dust absorption. Global mean of all‐sky direct radiative effect (DRE) by BC is +0.13 and +0.25 W/m2 for external and CS mixing state assumptions, respectively. Adding BrC in CS mixing state, the BC‐BrC DRE mixture increases to +0.40 W/m2, indicating an absorption enhancement with respect to external mixing state of +0.27 W/m2, which is less than the +0.51 W/m2 previously reported. The difference is attributed to the inclusion of the blanching process of BrC from biomass burning. Dust DREs are −0.10, +0.11, and +0.22 W/m2 for “low,” “middle,” and “high” dust absorption scenarios, respectively. Considering the nonspherical shape, these values change by up to 0.03 W/m2. All‐sky DRE by all radiation‐absorbing aerosols is +0.46 W/m2. Aerosol mixing state, BrC treatment, and dust optical property uncertainties suggest a total DRE uncertainty of −57%/+59%.
A Resource-Rich Neighbor Is a Misfortune: The Spatial Distribution of the Resource Curse in Brazil

We study the spatial distribution of the effect of oil and gas revenues on Brazilian municipalities, using variations in international prices to establish causality. Those revenues increase nighttime light emissions in oil-producing municipalities but impose negative spillovers on neighboring municipalities, especially those located more than 150 kilometers from oil activities. The two effects cancel out at the level of microregions. In oil-producing municipalities, oil and gas revenues increase royalties, population, prices, crime, and real wages, particularly in manufacturing and service sectors. Spillovers are negative on wages and prices but positive on royalties and crime.
Epidemiological Study on the Prevalence of Violence Among employed Women in Kufa University and some associated Factors

Objective: This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of violence against women(VAW) and some associated factors in a sample of employed women in Kufa university. Methodology: A cross sectional study of VAW covering 110 employed married women in 6 colleges in Kufa university was carried out during the period of 1st of March to the 1st of May 2011, data collection was done by using questionnaire forms containing demographic and violence related questions as well as questions related to husbands of participants. Results: Results showed that about 37.3 % of the sample were ever exposed to violence by their husbands both physical and sexual violence. Thirty six women (32.7 %) exposed to physical violence and 15 women (13.6%) exposed to sexual violence. No significant statistical association ( p=0.37) was found between violence and if the husband is relative or not as well as no significant statistical association ( p=1) was found between violence and husband's work. This study showed a significant statistical association found between husband's satisfaction with women’s work and the violence (p=0.03). The study also showed that 14 (12.7 %) women subjected to violence reported that they cannot complete their lives with violent husbands compared with 27 (24.5 % ) who reported that they will complete their lives with violence with significant statistical association (p= 0.005). No significant association between women’s level of education and exposure to violence ( p= 0.39), also there was no significant association between the number of children and exposure to violence ( p=0.383) as well as there was no significant statistical association between the age of women and the exposure to violence ( p= 0.07). Conclusion: These results indicate the need for more attention to be given in order to prevent this problem by the governments, ministries (especially ministries of women, human right and justice) , international organizations, religious leaders and NGOs through education about this problem and reactivation of laws in the constitution regarding women’s rights.

What Keeps Stablecoins Stable?

We take this question to be isomorphic to, "What Keeps Fixed Exchange Rates Fixed? " and address it with analysis familiar in exchange-rate economics. Stable coins aim to solve the volatility problem by pegging to a national currency, such as the US dollar, and are used as vehicle currencies for exchanging national currencies into non-stable cryptocurrencies. Using a rich dataset of signed trades and order books on multiple crypto exchanges, we examine how peg-sustaining arbitrage stabilizes the dollar price of the largest stable coin, Tether, as an alternative to the main mechanism with national-currency fixed rates, namely intervention by a central bank. We find that stable-coin issuance, the closest analogue to central-bank intervention, plays only a limited role in stabilization, pointing instead to the demand side as the fundamental stabilizing force. Order-flow data show that a 25 basis-point move requires arrival of a roughly two standard deviation change in net trading, equivalent to $3 million. Finally, we investigate which fundamentals drive the two-sided distribution of peg-price deviations; premiums are due to stable coins' role within the digital-asset economy as a safe-haven asset, whereas discounts derive from both liquidity effects and collateral concerns.
Ion Cyclotron Resonant Absorption Lines in ELF Hiss Power Spectral Density in the Low‐Latitude Ionosphere

The effects of multiple ion species have been observed in electromagnetic wave spectra in both the ionosphere and the magnetosphere. Here we report an event from Communication/Navigation Outage Forecast System satellite, showing a new imprint of various ion species in observations of extremely low frequency (ELF) hiss wave spectra near the equatorial ionosphere, which presents minima in the power spectral density at gyrofrequencies and their harmonics of multiple ion species (e.g., O + and He + ). Cyclotron harmonic resonant absorption is proposed to account for the observed spectral and polarization properties. Furthermore, the implication of using those wave power spectral minima to identify minor ion species in the ionosphere is discussed.
Patterns and outcomes of traumatic pancreatic injuries: A retrospective review from a large multi-institutional healthcare system

Introduction Traumatic pancreatic injuries are rare, and morbidity and mortality information are often conflicting. To determine the frequency and outcomes of patients presenting with trauma to the pancreas, we reviewed data from a large multi-institutional healthcare system for mechanism of injury, intervention, subsequent complications, in-hospital morbidity rates, and mortality. Methods We performed a retrospective analysis of records of all pancreatic injury cases seen at four healthcare centers from 1990 to 2014. Descriptive measures are presented for continuous and categorical data. Mortality rates were obtained using the publicly accessible Social Security Death Master File. Results Of 69 patients with pancreatic injuries, median age was 24 years (range 1–88). Mechanisms of injury were blunt in 87% and penetrating in 11.8%. The median injury grade was 1. Most injuries involved the pancreatic head (24.6%). Median Injury Severity Score at presentation was 9. Thirty-seven (53.6%) patients required surgery. Twenty-five patients (36.2%) required total parenteral nutrition, 34 patients (49.3%) developed intra-abdominal fluid collections, 24 patients (34.8%) developed acute pancreatitis, and three (4.4%) developed endocrine insufficiency requiring insulin. Ten (14.5%) patients died. There were four (5.8%) readmissions and one re-operation (1.4%) within 30 days of discharge. Conclusion Traumatic pancreatic injuries occur most frequently in young healthy males with little or no comorbidities, and are generally associated with other acute injuries. Contrary to past reports, our results revealed a low mortality rate but significant morbidity, with the most common complications being intra-abdominal fluid collections, acute pancreatitis, and a need for total parenteral nutrition.

Diseases and disorders of cattle and goats which were recorded more or less present in both young and adult animals but some of the specific diseases and disorders were in animals due to age susceptibility such as black quarter, coccidiosis in young cattle.
Factors Constraining International Growth in Nautical Tourism Firms

In tourism, entrepreneurial internationalisation is considered a measure of the development of the industry and a key driver of innovation, competitiveness and image enhancement. In nautical tourism, research is still scarce in terms of supporting business’ internationalisation. This paper analyses factors constraining the international growth of island-based nautical tourism organisations. For the research, a sample of 60 nautical tourism SMEs´ owners of six different islands in the Macaronesia Region (Canary Islands, Madeira and Cape Verde archipelagos) were interviewed. As a result, we provide up to date information about current conditions and barriers to the internationalisation process within the segment and also identify the profile of the firms with the best international performance. The study is of great usefulness for the industry as it guides on the areas that require special attention to enhance those social, environmental and economic conditions of nautical tourism firms that ensure sustainable international growth. Moreover, it helps policymakers of island destinations seeking specialisation and positioning within the international nautical tourism market to raise the efficiency of current incentive mechanisms for internationalisation, thus contributing to increase tourism competitiveness. Finally, the study highlights the importance of fostering wider cooperation among islands with common interests in nautical specialisation and the challenges that this represents for the tourism management.

Changes in the Capital Structure of Polish Companies During the Last Twenty Years (1997–2017)

Theoretical background: The capital structure is one of the most important areas in the modern theory of corporate finance. It has inspired the development of a large number of theoretical approaches, but a universally accepted theory of capital structure has not yet been developed. A common belief holds that companies try to achieve a stable capital structure in the long term; thus, companies that, at a given time, are characterised by a relatively low (or high) level of debt, also probably had the same level in previous periods.Purpose of the article: The main purpose of this paper is to provide answers to two basic questions: 1) How did the aggregate capital structure of the non-financial companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) change from 1997 to 2017? ; 2) What factors are decisive for the companies’ capital structure and do the current trends in capital structure theory take account of them? Research methods: The research is carried out in two phases. In phase 1, the descriptive statistics method is applied to analyse how the capital structure of WSE-listed companies changed in the years 1997–2017. In phase 2, the capital structure determinants are examined using multiple regression models.Main findings: The capital structure of WSE companies varied significantly in the sample years, and overall, the debt ratios, total, short-, and long-term debt slightly increased. The causes of the changes were the economic environment factors (banking sector assets, government debt, and corporate income tax) and macroeconomic circumstances, along with the companies’ characteristics. Among the latter, the company’s profitability and the share of fixed assets in total assets usually turned out to be statistically significant.
China’s Anti-Corruption Campaign and Financial Reporting Quality

We examine the impact of politically connected directors on accounting quality using a natural experiment in China. In October 2013, “Rule 18” was issued to prohibit government and party officials, who were concurrently holding public offices or had recently retired from such positions within the last three years, from serving as directors for publicly listed firms. The regulation is part of China’s anti-corruption campaign, and it has led to a large number of politically connected directors resigning from their roles as directors involuntarily. As such, Rule 18 has effectively weakened, if not fully discontinued, the political connections of the firms that previously hired government officials as directors. Our empirical analyses employ a difference-in-differences research design with firm fixed effects to examine the pre- and post- period accounting quality around the enactment of Rule 18. We find that, compared to propensity-score-matched control firms, the accounting quality of firms with politically connected directors increases after Rule 18, and that the effect is stronger for non-SOE firms than for SOE firms. We further examine the channels through which politically connected directors affect accounting quality. The evidence suggests that connected firms have better access to preferential financing and are under lax regulations, which reduce firms’ incentives to provide transparent information.

The transfer of insecticides used in cotton production to aquatic ecosystems in the cotton basin in Northern Benin

The transfer of two insecticides (acetamiprid and chlorpyrifos) from cotton fields to a nearby water reservoir together with the ecotoxicological risks involved for this receiving environment were assessed by measuring their concentrations in runoff water and sediment samples collected both at the exit of the crop plots and in the reservoir after treatment. The multi-residue method by UPLC-MS/MS was used to determine the concentration of the different active substances in the collected samples. The results obtained indicate that acetamiprid and chlorpyrifos are almost always present regardless of the treatment period. The physico-chemical properties (solubility in water and adsorption to soil particles) explain a difference in behaviour between acetamiprid, present mainly in water, and chlorpyrifos, more concentrated in sediments. Calculations show that 0.005% of the acetamiprid applied in the basin around Gambanè flows to the reservoir, compared to 0.0003% of the chlorpyrifos applied. Depending on the sampling dates, the average runoff quantities for acetamiprid vary from 0.002 to 0.156 g/ha over 96 g/ha and from 0.001 to 0.039 g/ha for chlorpyrifos. The study shows that the transfer by runoff from the fields is relatively fast but is nevertheless influenced by rainfall, the distance of the fields to the reservoir, the slope and the characteristics of the environment. At the concentrations of acetamiprid observed in this receiving environment, the ecotoxicological risk would be negligible (Environmental Risk Index = 4) for aquatic organisms, earthworms and birds. However, concentrations of chlorpyrifos in the environment could be harmful to these organisms (Environmental Risk Index = 272). The aquatic ecosystem in this area is therefore exposed to the harmful effects of these active substances.
