Socio-Cultural Factors Influencing Uptake of Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives among Reproductive Women in Kenya
Authors: Morris Karithi Njilu
Published: February 2023

Uptake of long-acting reversible contraceptives has been low among many women in Kenya. This has seen a surge in the number of unplanned pregnancies, which leads to continued poverty due to large sizes of families. This study therefore sought to establish the socio-cultural factors influencing the uptake of long-acting reversible contraceptives among women of reproductive age in Kenya. The study adopted descriptive cross sectional study design. The study was conducted in public hospitals in Kenya. The target population included the women of reproductive age of between 18 and 45 years. A sampling formula was used to identify the appropriate sample for the respondents. The 379 respondents identified were picked through simple random sampling. The data were collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. The collected data were analysed using descriptive statistics through SPSS version 26. The findings revealed that socio-cultural factors such as religious believe affected the uptake of long lasting reversible contraceptives among reproductive women in Kenya. The study concluded that through misconceived social cultural believes, the uptake of long lasting family planning methods/long-acting reversible contraceptives was minimal among reproductive women in Kenya. The study recommended the need for the government, the hospitals and other stakeholders to create awareness and education on the need for long-acting reversible contraceptives and other family planning methods among women. There is need for the communities to also embrace modern methods of family planning so as to stimulate their economic and social development.

The research uses the Momentum Backpropagation Neural Network method to recognize characters from a letter image. But before that, the letter image will be converted into a binary image. The binary image is then segmented to isolate the characters to be recognized. Finally, the dimension of the segmented image will be reduced using Haar Wavelet. One of the weaknesses of computer systems compared to humans is recognizing character patterns if not using supporting methods. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is a method or concept that takes the human nervous system. In ANN, there are several methods used to train computers that are made, training is used to increase the accuracy or ability of computers to recognize patterns. One of the ANN algorithms used to train and detect an image is backpropagation. With the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) method, the algorithm can produce a system that can recognize the character pattern of handwritten letters well which can make it easier for humans to recognize patterns from letters that are difficult to read due to various error factors seen by humans. The results of the testing process using the Backpropagation algorithm reached 100% with a total of 90 trained data. The test results of the test data reached 100% of the 90 test data.

In September 2019, the Democratic Republic of the Congo implemented a new policy abolishing tuition fees in primary education. A few months later, schools closed for 4.5 months due to the COVID-19 pandemic. How did the lockdown affect the implementation of the free education policy? Did it reduce or enhance its effects? This article examines the experience of schools and teachers in two districts in South Kivu affected by armed conflict. Based on a survey of 752 teachers and 637 parents, as well as 157 qualitative interviews in 55 schools, we show that, supported by the free education policy, enrollment remained stable, and the relations between teachers and parents did not seem to deteriorate despite a near complete lack of teaching activity during the period of school closure. However, the hardships associated with the pandemic have made the financial circumstances of teachers on precarious contracts previously paid via tuition fees even more unsustainable. Their quitting the profession in increasing numbers threatens the stability of the school system. Thus, introducing free primary education is not a panacea in the context of a crisis. The sustainability of such reform requires an ambitious and comprehensive overhaul of human resources.
La Pandémie de 2020 au Soudan du Sud : Une Étude de la Résilience et de la Continuité de l' Éducation Chez les Mères Adolescentes et les Adolescentes Enceintes
Authors: Corwith Anne , Ali Fatimah
Published: February 2023

Le 13 mars 2020, le gouvernement du Soudan du Sud a mis en place des mesures de confinement d'urgence en réponse à la pandémie de COVID-19. Les craintes que la pandémie ne sape les efforts du gouvernement et de la société civile en faveur du maintien des filles à l'école se sont révélées fondées et les cas déclarés de grossesse chez les adolescentes ont augmenté. Avant la pandémie, les mariages précoces et les grossesses adolescentes au Soudan du Sud étaient déjà extrêmement préoccupants, le pays affichant le septième taux de mariage d'enfants le plus élevé au monde. Des données de 2019 indiquent qu'au niveau national, seuls 34 pour cent des élèves ayant passé les examens du primaire étaient des filles. Nous avons mené cette étude qualitative afin d'identifier les sources de résilience dans lesquelles les mères adolescentes et les adolescentes enceintes ont puisé pendant les confinements liés à la pandémie de COVID-19 dans la ville de Maiwut, au Soudan du Sud, pour retourner à l'école et poursuivre leur éducation. Nos recherches ont révélé que, bien qu'elles aient du mal à satisfaire leurs besoins élémentaires, qu'elles reçoivent peu de soutien au sein de leurs réseaux et qu'elles soient victimes de violences et d'un sexisme persistant, ces mères adolescentes et ces adolescentes enceintes ont fait preuve de résilience en aspirant à retourner à l'école et à devenir financièrement indépendantes. En mettant au centre de notre recherche la parole de cette population vulnérable, nous sommes en mesure de recommander aux organisations qui opèrent dans ce contexte d'urgence et dans des contextes similaires des interventions que nous jugeons plus efficaces et plus ciblées.

Diabetic wounds are one of the complications of Diabetes Mellitus (DM), which are at risk of infection and can end in amputation. Colocasia leaves contain metabolites of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, steroids and saponins, which have antibacterial and antioxidant activity and can accelerate wound healing by helping cell regeneration. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of taro leaves extract emulgel worked for wound healing in diabetic rats. The test animals were 25 white male rats divided into five groups, namely positive control (applied with CutimedÂ® gel), negative control (applied with emulgel base), standard control (non-diabetic rats), Treatment-1 (applied emulgel once a day) and Treatment-2 (applied emulgel twice a day). Male white rats were injected with alloxan to make them diabetic and, additionally, given a grade 2 incision. Visual observations started from day 1 to day 16. The results of statistical analysis for measuring the diameter of the incision (Morton's method) and visual observation of the wound (method of scoring) obtained sig Î± <0.05, meaning that the treatment groups 1 and 2 were significantly different from the negative control. Treatment-2 produced nearly the same effect as the positive control. The conclusion was that 5% Taro Leaf extract emulgel applied twice daily was the most effective in healing cuts in diabetic rats for 13 days.

This study aims to describe the position of sons in the Mandailing family in overseas areas. This research is located in Bangun Sari Hamlet, Labuhanbatu Regency, Rantauprapat. This study uses an ethnographic approach using descriptive qualitative methods. The subjects in this study were married couples (families) who are of the Mandailing ethnicity. The number of respondents in this study were 5 people. Data collection was carried out by observing, interviewing, and studying written documents. The data obtained was then analyzed using qualitative data analysis, namely data collection, data reduction, and data presentation. Research results obtained by children in a family are the most beautiful gifts from God. In a family in the Mandailing community, sons are very important because sons carry a surname and are successors of the genealogy and are a complement to the philosophy of Dalihan Na Tolu. The Mandailing ethnic community in Bangun Sari Hamlet has an understanding that the position of sons in the Mandailing family is high because they are the successors of the clan. However, along with the times and the occurrence of assimilation in customs and culture with the Javanese, the people view boys and girls as the same. There is no difference in what happens to girls even though sons are the successors of the clan. In the past, boys were number one in education and wealth, but now they are all equal

Cultivating Causal Literacy in the Political Science Classroom
Authors: Perez Celestino
Published: February 2023

How might educators cultivate causal literacy in the classroom? Scholars observe that too often real-world actors fail to adequately understand the problems they confront; moreover, the theories of action that underlie many real-world interventions are superficial, tacit, or altogether absent. Drawing from the comparativist Craig Parsons's work on causal logics and the political theorist William Connolly's work on complexity in politics, I describe two sets of classroom practices that educators might use to improve students understanding of real-world problems and the mindful crafting of interventions to address these problems. These core skills inherent in these practices, which compose an experiential-learning environment, include privileging a journal articles or chapters causal story; aggregating several causal stories together to create a framework; and applying these causal stories to a real-world historical or contemporary political challenge to propose an intervention. I use the literature on civil wars as an example.

The richness and complexity of the study of conflict can easily overwhelm students and impact their retention of knowledge, especially during the pandemic and its challenging instructional modes. Yet, remote communication tools can offer advantages in promoting learning, enhancing pedagogy and fostering student community. Employing innovative peer-to-peer, experiential techniques, like asking students to use remote learning platforms to read parts of an ancient tragedy in a performative way and connect it to their written assignments, can increase engagement with the material, foster cooperation and mutual learning, and provide a memorable learning experience. This paper illustrates this application to a remotely-taught undergraduate course ‘On War’ at the University of Toronto Mississauga via a collaborative exercise co-designed with Classics and Theater Studies, and an award-winning Scottish director and her associate towards a student-led virtual performative reading of an adaptation of Euripides’ The Women of Troy to the modern conflict in Syria.
Centering Justice in Introductory American Government Courses
Authors: Parsons Tara
Published: February 2023

One of the core responsibilities of modern American universities is to prepare students for their role in the American democratic system. The organization of syllabi and textbooks has changed very little over time and offers a piecemeal survey of institutions, processes, and developments. This can be disengaging for todays college students who are already familiar with the content and desire to see change in the political system. This paper highlights an alternative organization of traditional American Government content framed around justice rather than institutions. . This paper features a comparison of the justice course syllabus with the American Government textbook assigned by traditional course sections at the same institution. It highlights the shared content, terms, theories, events, and documents presented in both courses, but offers an alternative frame for meeting learning objectives. The paper concludes with general recommendations on centering justice in political science courses.
The Embedded Librarian Model in Traditional vs. Online Political Science Courses
Authors: Broache M.P. , Olsen Rachel
Published: February 2023

This paper, prepared for the 2023 APSA Teaching and Learning Conference, compares the effectiveness of the embedded librarian model for promoting the development of information literacy skills in in-person versus online courses. Specifically, this paper leverages variation in the delivery modality of an upper-level, writing-intensive Political Science course in which the authors collaborated to implement the embedded librarian model in fall 2019 (in-person modality) and fall 2020 (online modality). In brief, we find that student research papers submitted in the in-person section of the course scored significantly higher on multiple indicators of information literacy than papers submitted for the online version.

In the implementation of the regional geospatial information network, it is necessary to evaluate it as a continuous improvement effort. Evaluation is carried out on internal and external conditions, which include all elements in the implementation of geospatial information. The purpose of the evaluation is to find out the strengths and weaknesses. …. The achievements of Geospatial Information and Geospatial Data of Gresik Regency so far are that the Network Node of Gresik already has "Operational" status, compared to previously not having it, Gresik Regency is currently joining 38 other districts/cities with "Operational" status. The evaluation value is in class B, which means that the maximum construction time is 12 months. Apart from geoportal content, Gresik Regency also has a data forum, but there is no Spatial Data Forum yet, so that in the future the need for this forum will become very important to support the improvement of network nodes in Gresik.
Transitioning from epicutaneous to oral peanut immunotherapy

Introduction

Epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT) has been tested in clinical trials for children with peanut allergy (PA) for its safety and efficacy in inducing desensitization. Aside from peanut avoidance and symptom management, oral immunotherapy (OIT) is another option for PA patients. However, OIT can be associated with adverse events and pose safety concerns to children and their caregivers.

Methods

This study assessed 27 children who successfully completed a peanut EPIT trial. 18 of them transitioned to peanut OIT with starting doses ranging from 10–600 mg of peanut protein. Our aim was to learn more about the EPIT to OIT experience through descriptive survey responses and to gather information that may support the sequential use of the two immunotherapies for safe and positive outcomes that may not be achieved by either alone.

Results

Overall, children and their caregivers had less anxiety about starting OIT after having had peanut exposure through EPIT. Most children who transitioned from EPIT to OIT had no or minor symptoms initially, with symptoms lessening later in OIT. Most were also able to maintain or increase their peanut dose over time, achieving maintenance doses of 60–2,000 mg.

Discussion

In comparison with current literature on OIT for PA in children, the reported symptoms appeared less severe and less prevalent in the EPIT to OIT group. However, there were 3 participants who withdrew from OIT due to the development of intolerable symptoms. This study provides initial data in support of EPIT to OIT, and larger randomized controlled trials assessing effectiveness of the two therapies together are warranted.
Transcription factor-based biosensors for screening and dynamic regulation

Published: February 2023

Advances in synthetic biology and genetic engineering are bringing into the spotlight a wide range of bio-based applications that demand better sensing and control of biological behaviours. Transcription factor (TF)-based biosensors are promising tools that can be used to detect several types of chemical compounds and elicit a response according to the desired application. However, the wider use of this type of device is still hindered by several challenges, which can be addressed by increasing the current metabolite-activated transcription factor knowledge base, developing better methods to identify new transcription factors, and improving the overall workflow for the design of novel biosensor circuits. These improvements are particularly important in the bioproduction field, where researchers need better biosensor-based approaches for screening production-strains and precise dynamic regulation strategies. In this work, we summarize what is currently known about transcription factor-based biosensors, discuss recent experimental and computational approaches targeted at their modification and improvement, and suggest possible future research directions based on two applications: bioproduction screening and dynamic regulation of genetic circuits.

The high pH and salinity of saline alkali soil not only seriously restrict the growth of crops, but also aggravate the pollution of heavy metals. The fixation of heavy metals and the regulation of pH by phosphorus solubilizing microorganisms may become a new way to repair heavy mental and improve saline alkali soil. In this study, a saline-alkali resistant bacteria (CZ-B1, CGMCC No: 1.19458) was screened from saline-alkali soil, and its tolerance to salt/alkali/lead stress was investigated by shaking flask experiment. The strain was identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens by morphology and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The optimum growth temperature of CZ-B1 is about 35°C–40℃. The maximum salt stress and pH that it can tolerance are 100 g/L and 9 respectively, and its tolerance to Pb2+ can reach 2000 mg/L. The phosphorus release amount of CZ-B1 to Ca3(PO4)2 within 72 h is 91.00–102.73 mg/L. The phosphate solubilizing index in PVK agar medium and NBRIP agar medium are more than 2, which can be defined as phosphate solubilizing bacteria. Moreover, the dissolution of CZ-B1 to phosphorus is mainly attributed to tartaric acid, citric acid and succinic acid in inorganic medium. In addition, the removal rate of Pb2+ by CZ-B1 can reach 90.38% for 500 mg/L. This study found that CZ-B1 can immobilize Pb through three biological mechanisms (organic acid, extracellular polymers and mineralization reaction). The release of succinic acid (10.97 g/L) and citric acid (5.26 g/L) may be the main mechanism to promote the mineralization reaction of CZ-B1 (phosphate and oxalate) and resistance to Pb stress. In addition, the high enrichment of Pb2+ by EPS can increase the rate of extracellular electron transfer and accelerate the mineralization of CZ-B1. The screening and domestication of saline-tolerant phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria not only help to remediate Pb contamination in saline soils, but also can provide P element for plant growth in saline soil.
