In memoriam dr. Arnóth József (1933–2021)
Authors: Papp Gábor
Published: March 2023

Arnóth József (1933–2021), a magyarországi születésű, de szakmai tevékenységét Svájcban kifejtő mineralógus és muzeológus, a Magyar Természettudományi Múzeum Ásvány- és Kőzettárának legnagyobb támogatója volt az utóbbi száz évben. Küzdelmes gyermek- és fiatalkora után, még geológushallgató korában, 1956-ban elhagyta Magyarországot. A svájci Bázelben telepedett le, majd a munka mellett elvégzett egyetemi tanulmányai után. 1972- től 1998-as nyugalomba vonulásáig az ottani Természetrajzi Múzeum ásványgyűjteményében dolgozott. Érdeklődési köre felölelte az ásványok esztétikai vonatkozásait és a kristálytan filozófiai összefüggéseit. Ez irányú tanulmányai során a részben goethei gyökerekből táplálkozó antropozófiai irányzathoz került közel. 2007-ben ásványgyűjteményét és szakkönyvtárát a Magyar Természettudományi Múzeumnak adományozta, és haláláig rendszeres küldemények formájában juttatta el Budapestre. Ezek mintegy 8500 ásvány-, kőzet- és ősmaradványpéldányt, közel 1300 könyvet, térképet és egyéb nyomtatott dokumentumot, több mint ezer különlenyomatot, valamint ásványgyűjtő és ásványtani folyóiratok számos évfolyamát tartalmazták. Érdeklődési körének megfelelően kollekciójának súlypontját a „rajzos kövek” (achátok stb.) és a szépen kifejlődött kristályok alkotják. Az Arnóth-gyűjteményből eddig négy önálló kiállítást rendeztünk, a kollekció példányai az állandó kiállításunkon, elsősorban a róla elnevezett drágakő-kiállításban is szép számmal megtalálhatók.

The Death and Redemption of God: Nietzsche’s Conversation with Philipp Mainländer
Authors: Jensen Anthony K.
Published: March 2023

In contrast to positivistic assignations of influence in Nietzsche-studies, this article considers the possibility of “conversational” reconstructions of contexts, where the focus is less on “whether” and “when” Nietzsche read a text, and concentrates instead on “how” and “why” he read it. This method is exemplified by the case of Philipp Mainländer, a contemporary about whom Nietzsche says almost nothing of philosophical importance. This article shows that six key leitmotifs of the Zarathustrazeit happen to form direct solutions to dangers entailed by Mainländer’s system: the Death of God, the Übermensch, the Last Man, Will to Power, Eternal Return, and Amor Fati. That each of these tropes serves as a neat solution to Mainländer suggests that Nietzsche was engaged in a sort of competitive intellectual conversation with his philosophy. And as such, Mainländer’s influence on Nietzsche, even if mostly negative, should not continue to be neglected.
Ehrlichkeit and Parrhēsia: The Development of Nietzsche’s Cynicism from Schopenhauer as Educator to Ecce Homo
Authors: Logan Fraser
Published: March 2023

Nietzsche commits himself to a practice of honesty (Ehrlichkeit) in Schopenhauer as Educator. This article argues that this practice is an adaptation of Diogenes’s parrhēsia, the Cynic virtue of outspokenness, and that Nietzsche’s commitment to Ehrlichkeit increases from 1874 to 1888. The article emphasizes the interpersonal dimensions of Ehrlichkeit and parrhēsia and the author resists the widespread tendency to conflate Nietzsche and Diogenes in terms of shamelessness. The article demonstrates that, using Diogenes as an exemplar, Nietzsche gradually renounces the scholarly pretense of hiding the personal significance of his opinions behind needlessly theoretical language. This development culminates in his explosive autobiography, Ecce Homo, which the author interprets, against the grain of Nietzsche scholarship, as the book of Ehrlichkeit, not Redlichkeit, par excellence.

Published: March 2023

Micropropagation of epiphytic bromeliads associated to translocation may act as an important tool for conservation, restauration or mitigation initiatives. Vriesea incurvata is an epiphytic tank-forming bromeliad endemic to the Atlantic Forest, being an important species in gallery forest environments. Seeds of V. incurvata were germinated in vitro, and plants were acclimatized and translocated to each of two microhabitats (gallery forest and forest interior) of an Atlantic Forest fragment in South Brazil that harbors few individuals of the species. The 152 plants (76 per microhabitat) were monitored for survival and development, and abiotic data were recorded. There was increased development of morphometric parameters of the plants in the gallery forest, and survival rate ensured an 800% increase in the original population of V. incurvata in the study area. Plant survival and development parameters were positively related to light and relative air humidity. In gallery forest, plants flowered and set fruit, indicating their relationship with pollinators, since V. incurvata provides food for fauna. Further, the establishment of the individuals increased the availability of water in the canopy by accumulation in the rosettes, as well as the complexity of the canopy structure, providing a site for the occurrence of detritivorous, predatory and herbivorous arthropods. Thus, based on the method applied to V. incurvata, inserting epiphytic species into forest environments can be an efficient tool for artificial habitat regeneration, incrementing functional diversity and improving environmental quality.

Published: March 2023

Background and Aim: Thrombosis of the portal vein or obstruction of the hepatic venous outflow tract is the cause of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) and Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS). Patients with PVT may experience a shorter survival rate compared to those without. The present study aimed to determine the portal vein thrombosis occurrence in Budd-Chiari syndrome patients. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 46 Budd-Chiari syndrome patients in Gastroenterology department of DHQ Teaching Hospital and Mufti Mahmood Memorial Hospital, Dera Ismail Khan from November 2021 to October 2022. Written informed consent was taken from each individual. Doppler ultrasonography (colored-pulsed) was used to confirm the PVT and BCS cases. Clinical data, laboratory findings, and radiological data were recorded. SPSS version 26 was used for data analysis. Results: The overall mean age of the BCS patients was 28.34±4.6 years. The prevalence of portal vein thrombosis in BCS patients was 12.8% (n=6). Of the total cases, the incidence of chronic and acute BCS presentation was 42 (91.3%) and 4 (8.7%) respectively. The most prevalent symptoms of BCS were abdominal pain and abdominal enlargement in 38 (82.6%) and 41 (89.1%) respectively. Hepatomegaly and ascites were most prevalent clinical signs found in 36 (78.3%) and 37 (80.4%) respectively. The incidence of esophageal varices, gastric extension, and fundal varices were 32 (69.6%), 4 (8.7%), and 2 (4.3%) respectively. About 21 (45.7%) cases had Portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG). Conclusion: A higher incidence of PVT was observed in the present study than previously reported. Sociodemographic data and underlying etiology of BCS were not significantly different between patients with and without PVT. Those with PVT were more likely to experience hepatic tenderness, increased white blood cells, and increased direct bilirubin. PVT and other patients had similar Doppler ultrasound findings.

Published: March 2023

Background: The second most common illness after malaria that is transmitted by vectors and that may be lethal if untreated is leishmaniasis. Leishmaniasis is caused by parasites of the genus Leishmania, which are classified into two subgenera, Viannia and Leishmania. Methodology: A total of 100 sample collected from presumed clinically as CL patients by dermatologist, with 50 positive cases and 50 negative cases on Geimsa stain microscopy for Leishman Donovan (LD) bodies. After permission from Ethical board in Khyber medical university KPK and inform consent from patient or their guardian in case of children was taken. The lesion and its surroundings were cleaned with 70% ethanol, and the fluid oozing out of the first prick was obtained and disperse over a glass slide, left to dry and fixed with methanol, and stained with Giemsa stain. Two pricks were administered with a sterile BD syringe at the active margin of the lesion. The second prick's fluid was collected and kept in an EDTA tube for PCR usage at -20°C at the IBMS laboratory of KMU in Peshawar. Results: Out of 100 CL patients, 53 were female and 47 were male. The patients age was ranged from two year to 89 year. PCR was positive in 64 cases and negative in 36 cases out 100 for CL. Out of 50 positive microscopic cases 37cases were positive on PCR. Out of 50 microscopic negative cases 27 (54%) were positive by PCR. A statistically significant difference was found between PCR and microscopic method in the detection of CL. Conclusion: The finding in our study specifies that PCR base analysis is superior to microscopy for diagnosis of CL. Therefore, we recommend use of PCR for the detection of CL along with Giemsa staining in order to improve the quality and sensitivity of routine diagnosis of the disease.

Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticle from Brassica Oleracea for Determination of Paracetamol in the Presence of Tyrosine, Leucine and Alanine by Derivative Method
Authors: Ismail Muhammad , Xiangke Wang , . Saima
Published: March 2023

In this work, biogenic silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) from Brassica oleracea (Bo) leaf extract (AgNP-Bo) were prepared and utilized in synthetic mixtures for the accurate, effective, and sensitive spectrophotometric detection of Paracetamol. Measurements in the UV-Visible, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) have been used to confirm the synthesis of AgNP-Bo. These statistics indicate that the average particle size is 26.39 nm, the crystallinity has an aggregated structure, and the typical absorption wavelength is 445 nm. To decrease the possible influence of the listed water-soluble interference analytes, namely Tyrosine, Alanine, and Leucine, the 2nd order derivative method was used for our investigation. Using complexation with AgNP-Bo, the linear range, limit of detection (LOD), and relative standard deviation (RSD) for Paracetamol were calculated. The obtained values were 0.1-2, 0.09 µM, and 1.06%, respectively. With average percent recovery values of 93.33, 96.67, and 90.00%, respectively, AgNP-Bo also demonstrated excellent performance for Paracetamol detection in synthetic combinations including Tyrosine, Alanine, and Leucine. The suggested technique applied effectively for the quantitative analysis of synthetic mixtures, which makes it possible to employ Ag NPs going forward to determine biological molecules when interfering analytes from actual samples are present. Keywords: Silver nanoparticles; Brassica oleracea; Paracetamol; 2nd order derivative spectrophotometry; Interferences.

Published: March 2023

One of the leading cause of deaths in women is breast cancer. The incidence and prevalence of cancer is increasing day by day. The aim of this research was to analyse the relationship between HRS (hormonal receptor status) and age in females suffering from breast cancer. It was a cross-sectional study conducted at surgical department, LUMHS, Jamshoro, Sindh, Pakistan. The 200 females diagnosed with breast cancer were included in research. The mean age of the study sample was observed to be 48.68 ± 9.54 years. Out of 200 females, 79 (39.5%) females had positive expression of “ER (estrogen receptor)” while 80, (40%) had positive “PR (progesterone receptor)” expression and 41(20.5%) females were associated with “positive expression of HER2/neu (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2)”. The age group of 41-50 years showed (30.4%) highest ratio of positive ER followed by (24%) PR and (17.5%) “HER/2 neu expression” respectively. A statistically significant correlation was found between ER expression and age and (p=0.013), PR expression and age and (p=0.002) while HER/2 neu expression showed insignificant correlation (p=0.231). The research also found that most of the females in their 40s were suffering from breast cancer also the older women had positive were “estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and HER2/neu expression” as compared to younger females but there are high chances of survival if breast cancer is diagnosed and managed timely. To do so awareness regarding self-care and self-analysis for women is important to prevent the prognosis of breast cancer. Keywords: Breast Cancer, hormonal receptor status, estrogen, progesterone

Published: March 2023

Background: Trauma is the largest root of death because 30% of trauma-related casualties are attributable to hemorrhages. Concerns were heaved about aptness of traditional doctrine of vigorous crystalloid resuscitation in these cases. Objectives: The study comparatively studied conventional and limited fluid resuscitation in control of blood pressure elevation and their effects on hemoglobin concentration. Methods: This exploratory study was conducted in Ali Fatima Hospital/ Abu Umara Medical and Dental College, Raiwind Road Lahore, comprising 340 patients who presented to the Trauma Center, with intensified multiple organ injury or shock and then transferred to ICU. Patients were allocated into two groups viz experimental (n=170) and control (n=170) and were administered with intravenous fluids via conventional mode and experimentally through limited resuscitation. Results: Recovery time of the experimental group (2.78+1.41) was significantly lesser (p<0.05) than control (3.41+1.78). Hemoglobin concentration was significantly improved (p<0.05) in the patients of experimental groups (mean 11.12+2.39 g/dl), then control. The incidence of mortality, shock, hypothermia and hemorrhages was significantly reduced (p<0.05) in experimental group, while hypoxia and intravascular coagulation were increased (p>0.05) in patients of the control groups. Practical implications: The clinicians should shift to limited fluid resuscitation to minimize the complications in trauma patients. Conclusion: The recovery rate and effective hemoglobin concentration were significantly improved in experimental patients, with reduced incidence of complications due to hemorrhages. Keywords: Electrolytes; Hypothermia; Hypoxia; Multiple organ failure; Resuscitation.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) frequently affects spinal cord (SC), resulting in motor, sensory, and autonomic impairment. Many pathological problems, including demyelination and neuroaxonal loss, are examined in vivo with MRI in MS. Objectives: This research was performed for confirming effects of early SC pseudoatrophy (PA) in MS treated using interferon beta on SC in early IFN therapy. Methods: PA was diagnosed using MRI and patients were classified based on McDonald’s 2010 criteria into 05 categories of clinical attacks. They were treated using IFN-1a 44 g, beginning after FCDE, administered thrice or once weekly for 2 years and their EDSS scores were baseline evaluated. Results: Kurtzke EDSS scoring system was implied to determine the disability of MS. After treating for 02 years, the Group A patients was scored 1.0 and Group B 1.5. The MS disability in SC was significantly reduced in both treatment groups, though, significantly enhanced domino effects (p<0.05) were observed in treatment group A administered with three doses weekly (51.41%) followed by single weekly (48.51%); and EDSS scores were significantly declined (p<0.05) from 2.5 to 1.0 and 1.5 respectively. Conclusion: It was evidenced that PA affected the SC and caused significant spinal lesions. PA of SC was utilized as biomarker to monitor therapeutic impacts in MS. The PA in MS-affected individuals was significantly treated in early arena and disability of MS of SC was significantly declined with interferons. Keywords: Interferons; McDonald’s scoring; Pseudoatrophy; Sclerosis.

Published: March 2023

Pričanje priča predstavlja aktivnost iz perioda prvobitne ljudske zajednice. Ljudi su se okupljali oko vatre da bi pričali i čuli poučne priče koje su inspirisale, motivisale, edukovale ili prenosile neku važnu poruku. Priče su se prenosile sa kolena na koleno i kada nije postojao pisani način da one budu zapisane. Sadržale su tada, ali i sada, kulturološke vrednosti koje starije generacije žele da prenesu na mlađe. One imaju moć da podrže dobar razgovor, podstaknu maštu i razviju empatiju. Pričanje priča razvija veštine aktivnog slušanja, budi slušaoca da razume zaplet i rasplet priče, motiviše na razmišjanje o ideji priče, podstiče da se priča prati, podržava se doslednost i istrajnost slušalaca. Mlađi usvajaju nove pojmove i bogate rečnik. U školi, kao nastavna tehnika, može da pobudi pažnju na svaki predmet, da ga oplemeni i približi svakodnevnom životu. Posebno je blagodarna za decu i mlade sa poteškoćama i smetnjama u razvoju. U radu smo predstavili osnovne ideje o pričanju priča sa željom da zainteresujemo čitaoce da se oprobaju i ispričaju svoju priču.

Background and Aim: Tocopherol is a vital nutrient for women during pregnancy, and multiple investigations revealed that a lack of tocopherol can cause preeclampsia, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and premature birth. There is scarcity of data regarding the effect of tocopherol on endometrial thickness. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to assess the effect of tocopherol supplement on endometrial thickness. Methods: This randomized control clinical trial was conducted on 120 women with subfertility age group of 18 years to 37 years who visited the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Dr fida Painless Hospital Peshawar from January 2022 to June 2022. Patients were categorized into two groups: Group-I received Vit E supplements (800 IU) (n=60) and Group-II received placebo (n=60) for 12 weeks. The number of follicles and thickness of the endometrium were evaluated on ultrasound at day 2 and day 14. SPSS version 27 was used for data analysis.  Results: The overall mean age of group I and II was 30.4±2.6 and 29.8±2.5 respectively. A significant difference was observed in mean endometrial thickness between groups I and II on day 2 (4.6 mm versus 3.3 mm) and day 14 (8.4 mm versus 5.8 mm) (P<0.001).

Published: March 2023

A Constituição Federal de 1988 inovou ao possibilitar que os municípios criassem Regimes Próprios de Previdência Social (RPPS). Entretanto, muitos RPPSs municipais apresentam problemas de equilíbrio, desempenho e transparência. O presente estudo visa contribuir com a literatura ao classificar e agrupar os RPPSs com base nos indicadores de conformidade, equilíbrio e transparência. Para tanto, utiliza-se a metodologia de análise fatorial e de análise de cluster. Os resultados obtidos para a análise de cluster mostram que parte dos RPPSs municipais, 26,81%, possui baixos indicadores de performance, equilíbrio e transparência e quase metade dos RPPSs municipais exibem problemas de equilíbrio atuarial, apesar de registrarem resultados de performance e transparência satisfatórios. Ademais, as evidências encontradas são favoráveis ao argumento de que as dificuldades enfrentadas pelos RPPSs são provenientes principalmente da presença de problemas de solvência atuarial e somente em menor grau de problemas de gestão dos RPPSs

A arborização urbana planejada em todas as etapas, desde a implantação até a manutenção, proporciona diversos benefícios ambientais. Entretanto, poucas cidades, frequentemente as capitais, dispõem de um plano de arborização urbana. Portanto, o objetivo do estudo foi avaliar quali-quantitativamente a arborização no centro urbano do município de Santo Antônio do Tauá - PA. Foi realizado um inventário florístico amostral para a coleta de dados referentes a composição florística, altura total, altura da primeira bifurcação, conflitos com fiação elétrica, estado geral das árvores, índice de diversidade e recomendações de manutenção. Foram contabilizados 385 indivíduos divididos em 46 espécies e 41 gêneros, onde a maior frequência relativa foi de Senna siamea, com 14,03%. Quanto à altura total, 70% dos indivíduos eram de pequeno porte, pouco mais de 18% apresentaram conflitos com a fiação elétrica e 20,5% apresentaram conflitos com edificações, e quanto ao estado geral, 77,9% das árvores estavam em bom estado. O índice de diversidade foi alto, 3,09, comparado a outros estudos de arborização urbana. Apesar dos bons resultados em alguns aspectos, como altura total, índice de diversidade e poucos conflitos com a fiação elétrica, é necessário melhorar a manutenção da arborização urbana existente, sobretudo nas podas, e criar diretrizes para o plantio de novos indivíduos, visando expandir a arborização planejada para toda a área urbana.

Authors: Sridhar Arthi , Singh Pawan Kumar , Parikh Kaushal
Published: March 2023

The treatment metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is largely influenced by the incorporation of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in the frontline setting. There are several ICI approved for the management of NSCLC based on the PD-L1 expression of the tumors. PD-L1 is a controversial biomarker with various inconsistencies in expression owing to temporal and spatial heterogeneity. Tumor mutational burden is another much studied biomarker associated with its own challenges and questionable concordance with tumor PD-L1 expression. In this article, we aim to discuss the challenges associated with the existing biomarkers, highlighting the need for emerging biomarkers that can help with decision making in the management of this there where several therapeutic options exist. There are emerging “me too” PD-1/PD-L1 drugs which may serve its purpose in many counties where there is limited access to current approved ICIs. What is increasingly apparent is the need to move the needle forward in the treatment of NSCLC and we will discuss the challenges associated with the current therapeutic landscape and the emerging checkpoints and the future directions that are being explored in the management of metastatic NSCLC.

Authors: Surapaneni Malini , Uprety Dipesh
Published: March 2023

Lung cancer is the second-most prevalent cancer and, the most common cause of cancer-related mortality throughout the world. Evidence-based strategies to decrease its incidence and mortality are being implemented in different parts of the world. Smoking cessation policies are being actively publicized to decrease the incidence of tobacco related cancers including lung cancer. Screening program for early detection of localized lung cancer which can then be targeted by a multimodality approach utilizing surgery, radiation, chemoimmunotherapy to achieve cure is now becoming the standard in several high-income countries. Precision medicine in lung cancer is booming with metastatic non-curative cancers targeted with small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors. However, these advancements are not available all around the world. Inequalities exist in the management of lung cancer, mostly driven by the economic differences between the countries. Raising awareness to these international barriers is pivotal for improving lung cancer related incidence and mortality.

Analysis of Land System Reform and Economic Structure Transformation from the Perspective of Industrial Integration
Authors: Murong Ruiyi
Published: March 2023

At present, the rural contracted land is dominated by the unified circulation of villages entrusted by contractors, but the contractor will have the possibility of self-circulation after the contract expires. The fundamental reason is that the current land transfer fee is low, which can not meet the contractor's expectations. Looking at China's economic development process since the reform and opening up, we can easily find that there is a puzzling problem in China's economy, that is, since the reform and opening up, China's economic aggregate and economic growth rate have made remarkable achievements, and the scale and speed of agricultural labor transfer are also the highest in the world. Industrial integration is a new economic phenomenon in the process of scientific and technological change and diffusion. According to the degree of integration, industrial integration can be divided into full integration and partial integration. Promote the flow of various production factors to agriculture, extend the agricultural industrial chain, increase the added value of agriculture, promote the integrated development of rural industries, promote the structural reform of agricultural supply side, and finally realize agricultural modernization in an all-round way, expand the rural collective economy, and promote farmers' income and rural harmony and prosperity.
Supply-hub-based Collaborative Replenishment Decisions for Enterprise Supply Logistics Under Demand Uncertainty
Authors: Chen Chen
Published: March 2023

To address the collaborative replenishment problem of enterprise supply logistics, a Supply-hub-based collaborative replenishment decision model is constructed from the perspective of horizontal collaboration among suppliers and the introduction of component demurrage costs and product out-of-stock penalty costs. The number of suppliers participating in the system, the replenishment level of suppliers and the impact of demand uncertainty on the operational cost of supply logistics are analysed. The results show that: the participation of multiple suppliers can reduce the increase of supply logistics operating costs to a certain extent; as the service level increases, the supply logistics operating costs increase and then decrease; the impact of demand uncertainty on the supply logistics operating costs can be mitigated to a certain extent by the coordination function of Supply-hub.

Published: March 2023

Thanks to advances in nanodevices and internet technology, it is now possible for devices from different manufacturers to be connected and communicate with one another. Among the fields that benefited from this technology integration were healthcare and general well-being. Healthcare had been established to lower healthcare expenses and offer enhanced and dependable services. Nevertheless, the primary difficulty in building such systems has continually been ensuring a high quality of service (QoS) in terms of quicker reaction and complicated analysis of data, given the sensitive and medical data. To solve these problems, this article suggests a heterogeneous Health Monitoring System built on mist, fog, and the cloud that can process and route data in both immediately and in form of a batch. In addition, the proposed system uses software-defined networking and load-stabilizing method to make sure that all available resources are being used effectively and efficiently. Experimental simulations validated that our system could achieve excellent QoS, with acceptable delay and packet delivery rate, which is crucial for the creation of sustainable healthcare solutions.

Published: March 2023

Road infrastructure in good condition is a key requirement for efficient transportation systems which leads to economic prosperity and improved quality of life. However, road surface conditions deteriorate over time according to traffic loads and environmental factors. Poor road conditions lead to congestion, accidents, lost productivity, and driver fatigue. This work considers the relationship between road pavement condition and vehicle speed, vibration, and in-vehicle noise. A 7 km section of the Grand Trunk Road, Peshawar, Pakistan divided into 280 segments (140 for each lane), of length 50 m was observed and the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of each segment was determined based on the recurrent distress type and density according to ASTM D6433-011 guidelines. The number of very good, satisfactory, fair, poor, and very poor conditions are 51, 52, 81, 48, and 42, respectively. The mobile app BotlnckDectr was employed to measure vehicle speed, RPM, noise, vibration, GPS location, and time. Statistical analysis was employed to determine the relationship between PCI and vehicle speed, vibration, and in-vehicle noise. The results obtained indicate that noise and vibration increase by 3.3% and more than 30%, respectively, as the pavement condition changes from good to very poor, and vehicle speed decreases by 8.8%.

Responsible parenting requires commitment, the right values, and a certain level of maturity to raise a family with a quality life. This research assesses the knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) on Responsible Parenthood and Family Planning (RPFP) among selected 4Ps beneficiaries (n=659) in the five provinces of the Caraga Region. The socio-demographic and economic profiles of the respondents were correlated to their KAP on RPFP using multiple regression analysis. Results showed that most respondents are in their prime working age, married, Cebuano, high school graduates, embracing Christianity, from rural areas, nurturing a nuclear family with an average monthly income of P7, 287 for a family of six. Further, respondents are highly knowledgeable on RPFP while moderately knowledgeable about modern natural and artificial Family Planning Methods (FPM). Interestingly, they show a positive attitude towards RPFP and FPM but very frequently practice the principles of RPFP and occasionally practice FPM. The number of children and the age when they first become pregnant negatively affect their understanding of natural family planning. Whether their socio-demographic and economic status influences their KAP on RPFP, different government agencies whose mandate includes development should continue addressing various population issues. The study recommends a multi-dimensional, integrated, and holistic approach to addressing the various concerns that can contribute to an increased KAP among 4Ps beneficiaries towards the RPFP.
