Original Article Road Safety Awareness among College Students in a North Indian Town Author Dr J Mukhopadhyay Associate Professor Community Medicine, NC Medical College, Panipat, India Corresponding Author Dr J Mukhopadhyay Assoc Prof, Community Med Dept, NC Med College, Panipat, Haryana-132107 Email: jmukho@yahoo.co.in, Mob – 9468189070 Abstract Background: Road traffic accident (RTA) has been posing an inconceivable public health challenge. RTA related mortalities attained a new apogee that merits attention. Road safety awareness is imperative in averting RTAs. Considering amassing upsurge of RTAs, it was decided to study road safety awareness and its practice among college students, ascertain allied findings if any and suggest preventive measures. Methods: 200 under-graduate students of a college in a north Indian town were studied during JulyAugust 17. Institutional approval and individual consent were obtained. A pretested structured proforma was introduced including demographic attributes, awareness and knowledge of road traffic safety and practice of traffic regulations. The data obtained was tabulated and statistically analysed. Result: 76% students were above 20 with mean age of 20.6 ±1.07 years. 74 to 80% knew the common road safety measures; girls were significantly more knowledgeable. Above 90% girls and 73 % boys identified most of the common traffic signs. Non-compliance of traffic rules varied from 20.76% to 66.98%; it was higher among boys and inexperienced students. Among RTA defaulters, 60.7% overtook wrongly, 85.7% and 82.1% didn’t follow speed limit and lane discipline respectively; findings are significant. 32.1% RTA occurred due to ‘faulty overtaking’ and 25% due to ‘use of mobile while driving’. ‘High speed skids’ and ‘collision while changing lane’ resulted RTA in 21.4% cases each. Conclusion: Recapitulation of knowledge to stimulate and motivate students through periodic road safety programs to ensure action according to safety conventions is suggested.
Prevalence and Predictors of Intimate Partner Violence among Antenatal Clinic Attendees in a Tertiary Health Institution in Nigeria

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) against women during pregnancy is a special and peculiar sub-class of violence against women. Anecdotal evidence suggest that such practices are still prevalent in Nigeria. Efforts to eliminate this scourge against women would certainly require good baseline information on the experience and attitude of women towards this social vice. Aim: The study was undertaken to determine the experience, distribution and attitude of women towards intimate partner violence in Enugu, Southeast Nigeria. Methods: This was a questionnaire-based cross-sectional study. Data was collected using structured questionnaire and analyzed by means of descriptive and inferential statistics including means, frequencies and X 2 -tests at the 95% confidence (CL) level. Results: The prevalence of intimate partner violence during pregnancy is 36.1%. Verbal abuse, 14.4% ranked highest in this study and 23.8% of the respondents affirmed they would seek legal redress in cases of physical violence. There was no report of sexual violence. The main perpetrators of IPV were current husbands, 67.1%. Maternal age and employment status of the respondents’ husbands were 4.2 and 6.7 times independently associated with IPV. Conclusion: The prevalence of IPV during pregnancy is still high among antenatal women in Enugu. The condition could be ameliorated by provision of employment opportunities for their husbands. Despite the high rates of occurrence of both verbal and physical violence during pregnancy, there is still lack of motivation to seek legal redress. Efforts should be made to convince the policy makers and judicial systems to create legal sanctions for perpetrators of IPV during pregnancy.
Capital Inflows, Credit Growth and Skill Allocation

This paper investigates whether abundant capital inflows can negatively affect the allocative efficiency of human capital in the presence of financial frictions. To address this question, we exploit exogenous variations in banks' ability to channel capital inflows in Portugal over the 2002-2007 period, coupled with both bank-firm exposures and panel data at the worker level. Firms in a relationship with a bank that channels capital inflows rely more on external debt, increase their skill intensity, and pay higher wages. The effects are larger in the less productive sectors. Our results suggest that skills might concentrate in the less productive firms and sectors in periods of abundant capital inflows, potentially dampening long-run productivity growth.

Industrial Revolution Reshaping Repetitive Task in Digital Workplace

Industrial revolution has changed the history of humanity. It has been the game changer of modern human history. The revolution has also altered our lives and work as well. Digital workplace for instance has becoming a new way of working style in today’s working workforce. With the IR4.0 strategy initiative, advanced technology has accelerated the evolution of the digital workplace environment in the organization. Despite, the digital workplace is an alternative way of working concept, we found that there still lack of discussion on type of task which related to the digital workplace. Therefore, this paper is: (1) to investigate and identify type of task related to the digital workplace, (2) to discover task involvement during Industrial Revolution until today, (3) also discussed in this paper is to identify relationship between technology and task in organization. The study involved several methodology processes in overviewing and retrieving literature reviews from previous studies on task related to the digital workplace. From our findings, repetitive task and automation are identified as type of task in the digital workplace. Besides that, we found that task involvement in workplace changes since the beginning of Industrial Revolution. Also, we noted that there is a positive relationship between technology over task. The relationship would impact on the way task is done.
Incidence of traumatic dental injuries in children aged 3–18 years in Tirupathi

Background: Traumatic dental injuries (TDI) are considered to be an important issue due to its high prevalence, mainly in areas of high social privation. They have a strong impact on children's and adolescent's life quality because they cause physical and emotional distress, and in children, they might have a high negative impact on the social relationships. Involvement of children in sports activities and increase in traffic accidents have contributed to transform these TDI an emergent public health problem. Aim and Objectives: The current retrospective study is to determine the prevalence of TDI reported to Department of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, CKS Teja Dental College, Tirupathi, during the years 2011–2016. Methodology: Sample size is the total number of patients reported to the Department of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, CKS Teja Dental College, Tirupathi, within the period of 2010–2016. The data were retrieved from medical records of patients who reported to the department. Results: All recorded data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences statistical software program (2012). The results were evaluated by Chi-square test. A total of 324 patients aged between 3 and 18 years met the inclusion criteria and were enrolled in the study. The highest frequency of TDI was in the 10–12-year-old participants and lowest frequency was in 3–6-year-old children. The etiology of TDI was analyzed; highest were caused by falls, followed by sports activities and then striking objectives and then followed by accidents and cycling. The most common type of injury was uncomplicated crown fracture (without pulp exposure) followed by avulsion and complicated crown fracture (with pulp exposure). Conclusion: Study observed the children in mixed dentition period as the population at risk. Hence, prevention through health promotion and correction of predisposing risk factors should be carried out in early mixed dentition period to reduce the prevalence of dental injury and to avoid the financial costs of treatment.
Social Media and Beliefs about Climate Change: A Cross-National Analysis of News Use, Political Ideology, and Trust in Science

This study explores the individual- and country-level factors that influence how getting news from social media relates to people’s beliefs about anthropogenic climate change. Concepts of psychological distance and motivated reasoning are tested using multilevel analysis with survey data in 20 countries (N = 18,785). Results suggest that using social media for news is associated with a decrease in climate skepticism across the sample. However, social context at the individual-level (conservative political ideology and low trust in science) and at the macro-level (high gross domestic product and individualism) moderate the effect, and therefore reduce social media’s potential to inform the public about climate change. This study contributes to conversations about the ability of emerging media to address science issues, particularly in developing countries.
Design of a dual-band terahertz metamaterial absorber using two identical square patches for sensing application

A dual-band terahertz metamaterial absorber composed of two identical square metallic patches and an insulating medium layer on top of a continuous metallic ground is demonstrated. Two resonance peaks (labeled A and B) with near 100% absorbance are obtained, of which peak A derived from the localized resonance of the two square patches has a line-width of 0.2571 THz and quality factor of 6.9156, while peak B which resulted from the hybrid coupling of the localized resonance of the two square patches and surface lattice resonance of the device has a very narrow line-width of 0.0083 THz and large quality factor of 296.2771. Narrow line-width and large quality factor have important prospects in sensing application. Based on this, the sensing performance of the device is explored; it is revealed that peak B exhibits highly sensitive sensing ability (including a sensing sensitivity of 1.9010 THz per RIU and figure of merit of 229.04) in terms of the surrounding index. In addition, the influence of structural parameters on the absorption performance is discussed to further verify the formation mechanism of these two absorption peaks.

Mineralogical constraints on Nb–REE mineralization of the Zhujiayuan Nb (−REE) deposit in the North Daba Mountain, South Qinling, China

The trachyte‐hosted Zhujiayuan deposit is located in the North Daba Mountain of South Qinling, China. In this deposit, the presence of different stages and genetic types of biotite, apatite, and rutile make it an excellent locality to constrain the mineralization process of Nb–REE in the alkaline igneous rock. In this study, supported by electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA), chemical analyses of biotite, apatite, rutile, columbite‐group minerals, fersmite, monazite, and aeschynite‐group minerals were presented. Three types of biotite were identified, including magmatic (Bt‐1), reequilibrated (Bt‐2), and hydrothermal biotite (Bt‐3). Apatite can be divided into two types: magmatic (Ap‐1) and hydrothermal apatite (Ap‐2). Rutile can also be divided into two types: magmatic (Rt‐1) and hydrothermal rutile (Rt‐2). Rt‐1 and Ap‐1 contain average 1.44 wt% Nb2O5 and 4.14 wt% LRE2O3, respectively, indicating that certain concentrations of Nb and REE were incorporated into the rutile and apatite, respectively, during the magmatic crystallization process. The distributions of the columbite‐group, fersmite, monazite, and aeschynite‐group minerals, as well as the compositional characteristics of monazite, indicate the important role of hydrothermal metasomatism during Nb–REE mineralization. The compositional characteristics of Bt‐2 indicate relatively high F and Cl fugacities in the hydrothermal fluid. Bt‐2 and Bt‐3 both have higher Nb2O5 content than Bt‐1, indicating a higher Nb content in the fluid. The source of fluidic Nb likely derived from the metasomatism of magmatic rutile. The REE content decreased from Ap‐1 to Ap‐2, possibly due to a dissolution–reprecipitation process. The compositional changes from Bt‐1 to Bt‐3 and Ap‐1 to Ap‐2 also revealed a decrease in temperature, increase in oxygen fugacity, and increase in Ca content from the magmatic to the hydrothermal system. We speculate that rutile and apatite may have originally formed from an Nb–REE‐rich alkaline‐silicate melt derived from the metasomatized mantle, which led to the initial Nb–REE enrichment. Subsequent hydrothermal alteration by hydrothermal fluids rich in F and Cl, accompanied by changes in the above physical and chemical conditions and fluid composition, caused a relatively limited and localized remobilization of Nb–REE into the fractures and vesicles in the trachyte.
Prevalence of contraceptive failure among women at the Western Region of Saudi Arabia in 2018

A unique feature of Arabian society is the for huge families. This study aimed to identify the contraceptive methods used with a higher risk of unplanned the correlations between parity status and types of contraceptive methods used and contraceptive failure methods: This cross-sectional study was performed using a self-administrated electronic questionnaire that was women primary health care clinic the western Saudi The questionnaire patient use and knowledge of contraceptive methods, relative risk of pregnancy with the use of different contraceptive methods, and the risk of pregnancy in relation to parity. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS v.21 software package. Results: A total of 959 women visiting the primary health care clinic were enrolled. Most of the participants were in the age group 20-35 years (57.00%). A large proportion of women reported using contraception (n= 649, 67.70%). The most common type of contraceptive used in this study was contraceptive pills (31.70%) followed by IUD (21.20%). The overall contraceptive failure rate was high in participants used withdrawal (OR: 1.822; 95%CI: 0.564-5.884), male condom (OR: 1.561; 95%CI: 0.484- 5.031), lactation (OR: 1.202; 95%CI: 0.171-8.464), and contraceptive pills (OR: 1.025; 95%CI: 0.500-2.102), while, the overall contraceptive failure rate was low in participants using IUD (OR: 0.964; 95%CI: 0.440-2.113). Primigravida cases had the highest risk of contraceptive failure (8.50%) followed by nullipara (4.80%) then multipara (4.30%). Conclusion: Usage of withdrawal, male condom, lactation, and contraceptive pills as contraceptive methods had highest risk of failure in women in the Western Region of Saudi Arabia. Hence, women using these methods of contraception should be so carefully. ABSTRACT

Relationship Between Anxiety and Depression with Disability Over Multiple Sclerosis Patients in Rafsanjan, Iran

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most prevalent diseases of the central nervous system and a category of neurological disorders in which myelin covers of nerves in the brain and spinal cord are locally destroyed and inﬂamed. Depression is the most prevalent psychiatric disorder, and anxiety is also highly prevalent over MS patients. This research is aimed to study the anxiety and depression frequencies over MS patients. Methods: This is a descriptive-sectional research performed on 132 patients diagnosed with MS by a neurologist in Rafsanjan, Iran. The Beck Depression Inventory and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) by Spielbergeret al. were applied to measure the depression and anxiety, respectively. The disability level was also determined using the expanded disability status scale (EDSS), according to clinical visits and patient histories. The data were then analyzed using SPSS17 in both inferential and descriptive statistics. Results: This research was performed on 132 MS patients including 36 males (27.2%) and 96 females (72.8%). The 21 - 40 year-old patient group included the largest portion of the research population. The depression and the state-trait anxiety were evaluated in relation to variables such as their age, gender, occupation, marital status, academic level, taken medications, course of treatment, and disability level. Final results indicated that the state-trait anxiety and depression are not signiﬁcantly related to the above-mentioned factors. Conclusions: It can be concluded that although these factors seem to be somehow inﬂuential, no signiﬁcant eﬀects were found, except between state anxiety and gender, and between depression and marital status.
