A CROSS-SECTIONAL SURVEY ON COPING BEHAVIOR OF PAKISTANI PARENTS WITH A CHILD DIAGNOSED AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER
Authors: Quaid Arwa
Published: April 2021

BACKGROUND AND AIMS

Number of studies reported that most of the parents of children with developmental disabilities such as Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are suffering from stress, anger, guilt and depression Either they not aware of the coping strategies or are in denial with self-condition, this led to adverse effects on parent’s quality of life, relationship with each other and children. This study aims to discover the coping strategy that parents are following to overcome their emotional disturbance for being parent of child with ASD.

METHODOLOGY

A cross-sectional survey was responded by parents of children with ASD, enrolled via convenient sampling technique. The data was collected through a standardized questionnaire BREF-COPE, formulated in Google Docs, distributed via email or WhatsApp group.

RESULTS

A total number of 150 participants were enrolled in the study that included 74.2% of as primary care givers (mean age: 32.2±10.6 years) and their respective autistic children (mean age: 7.1±4.4 years). Results revealed 51.6% parents usually concentrate on their efforts with their children while 64.5% understand the reality of situation. Surprisingly, 12.9% consume alcohol or take antidepressant drugs while majority seeks emotional support from others to make them better. Overall, only 16.1% are able to implement coping strategies in their routines.

CONCLUSION

It was concluded that there is an intense need to introduce parent support group for better catharsis and inculcation of positive coping strategies among parents of children diagnosed with ASD.

Authors: Ali Saima Asghar
Published: April 2021

BACKGROUND AND AIMS

Parents of children with developmental disabilities were at risk of poor mental health subsequently leads to unfavorable outcome in their children rehabilitation. Therefore, this study aims to rule out the association between family centered approach in domiciliary therapies and mental health in parents of children with developmental disabilities.

METHODOLOGY

A comparative analysis was conducted to determine the relation between family centered approach in domiciliary therapy sessions and parental stress. The data was collected through self-administered questionnaire, shared during the home visit to participants and mother.

RESULTS

A total number of 100 home-based therapists included in the study consisted of 79 females (78.8%) and 21 males (21.3%). Out of which only 48% of therapist were using family centered approach where the stress level among parents was low where as 52% were not inculcating family centered approach due to some constraints and had high level of stress and anxiety among the parents. Moreover, correlation among family centered approach in domiciliary therapy sessions and parental stress is found negatively correlated (i.e. -0.54).

CONCLUSION

It was concluded that home-based therapists perceived that parents of children with special needs has affected mental health however therapists strive to overcome these challenges by working on family-focused approaches, provide information and do regular meetings to help parents understand their child and found coping mechanisms to adjust with the disability.

Authors: Yousuf Ayesha
Published: April 2021

BACKGROUND AND AIMS

The number of studies has documented the increasing anxiety and depression among rehabilitationists due to increased workload, burnout, low pay or self-esteem, etc. However, limited information has found in this regard. Therefore, the study aims to identify the prevalence of anxiety and depression among physical and occupational therapists working in primary or tertiary care hospitals.

METHODOLOGY

A cross-sectional survey was conducted on physical and occupational therapists at primary and tertiary care hospitals', recruited via convenience sampling technique. The data were collected through the standardized Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, sent to participants via email or WhatsApp groups to record responses.

RESULTS

A total number of 147 responses obtained from participants included 121 (82.3%) females and 26 (17.7%) males, respectively. It was reported that (52.4%) participants feel tensed from time to time, (17%) feel frightened if something about to happen and (32.7%) have worrying thoughts in their mind a lot of the time. (12.9%) feel restless very much and (31.3%) get sudden feelings of panic quite often demonstrated that majority of therapists 145 (98.6%) falls into the category of 'anxiety and depression' while only two classified as psychological morbidity.

CONCLUSION

It was concluded that most therapists have anxiety and depression while few were suffering from psychological morbidity. Moreover, occupational and physiotherapists suffer from bullying during their lives and fail to lead an everyday life suffering from a varying level of distress that may lead to adverse physical and mental consequences. Therefore, multicenter trials should be conducted in the future, considering a large sample size to evaluate the disorder's factors and effective interventions for its management.

Jagung (Zea mays L.) merupakan tanaman serealia penting sebagai sumber karbohidrat bagi jutaan penduduk di dunia. Kutudaun (Hemiptera: Aphididae) merupakan salah satu hama penting pada tanaman jagung. Namun informasi tentang jenis kutudaun yang menyerang tanaman jagung hibrida di Solok, Sumatera Barat masih sangat terbatas. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui jenis spesies hama kutudaun yang menyerang tanaman jagung di Nagari Bukit Payo, Kecamatan Tanah Garam, Kabupaten Solok. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan dari bulan Januari hingga Juni 2019. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah survei. Tanaman jagung yang dijadikan sampel dipilih secara acak (sampling). Pengambilan kutudaun tersebut dilakukan sebanyak 2x dengan waktu pengambilan selama musim tanam jagung hibrida. Kutudaun diperoleh dengan cara mengumpulkan koloni kutudaun yang terdapat pada bagian daun, batang dan tongkol dari tanaman jagung. Kemudian kutudaun langsung dimasukkan ke dalam tabung eppendorf yang telah berisi alkohol 96% menggunakan kuas, lalu diberi label lokasi dan tanggal pengambilan sampel. Selanjutnya kutudaun sampel dibawa ke Laboratorium Bioekologi Serangga, Departemen Proteksi Tanaman, Fakultas Pertanian, Universitas Andalas untuk mengetahui jenis dan jumlah individu kutudaun. Kutudaun diidentifikasi berdasarkan karakter morfologinya dengan menggunakan buku panduan Aphids on the World’s Trees, Aphids on the World Crops, Aphids on the World’s Herbaceous Plants and Shrubs. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tanaman jagung hibrida di Kecataman Tanah Garam, Kabupaten Solok terserang hama kutudaun (Hemiptera: Aphididae), namun populasi kutudaun tergolong rendah yaitu 262 kutudaun. Kutudaun yang ditemukan pada tanaman jagung di Nagari Bukit Payo, Kec. Tanah Garam, Kab. Solok adalah sebanyak 2 spesies yaitu Rhopalosiphum maidis Fitch dan Myzus persicae. Rendahnya populasi kutudaun yang menyerang tanaman jagung hibrida tersebut disebabkan karena beberapa faktor, seperti varietas jagung, pola tanam, dan praktek budidaya yang dilakukan oleh petani setempat.Kata kunci: Populasi, Aphididae, Jagung, Identifikasi, Kutudaun

На сучасному етапі розвитку світової економіки, поглиблення міжнародного поділу праці, економічної глобалізації, транснаціоналізації виробництва, об'єктивного посилення інтеграційних процесів визначають потребу в стрімкому підвищенні конкурентоспроможності міжнародних аеропортів, здатних повністю забезпечити гармонійну взаємодію економічних суб’єктів на міжнародному рівні, необхідно створити умови для розвитку перспективних міждержавних і суспільних відносин. В умовах глобальної конкуренції розвинена інфраструктура міжнародних аеропортів перетворюється на конкурентну перевагу країни на світовому ринку. Однак зі зростанням динаміки світової економіки, розширенням обсягу повітряного руху питання про недосконалу інфраструктуру аеропортових служб є необхіднім для збалансованого розвитку всіх ланок в умовах дефіциту інвестицій. Прогнозоване збільшення обсягу міжнародних повітряних перевезень на рік за умови одночасного обмеження державних джерел фінансування вимагає чітко структурованої та гнучкої стратегії планування конкурентоспроможності міжнародних аеропортів. Порівняльний аналіз широкого кола сучасних методологічних підходів, оцінка конкурентоспроможності міжнародних аеропортів указують на відсутність загальновизнаної методології, актуалізують проблему виявлення та впорядкування критеріїв оцінки, відбору з урахуванням впливу різних елементів системи детермінант на конкурентоспроможність аеропорту. Управління міжнародною конкурентоспроможністю інфраструктури аеропортів повинно забезпечувати взаємодію економічних агентів на міжнародному рівні та створювати необхідні умови для розвитку міждержавних відносин. У зв’язку з розширенням ринку авіаперевезень з’являються нові потреби в удосконаленні інфраструктури міжнародних аеропортів, рівномірному розвитку всіх її ланок, незважаючи на дефіцит інвестицій. Проблеми трансформації, збільшення обсягів та модернізація аеропортової інфраструктури також стосуються України та вимагають оновлення у зв'язку з адаптацією до стандартів та практики найбільш конкурентоспроможних міжнародних аеропортів з урахуванням пріоритетних векторів інтеграції та ключових напрямів лібералізації авіаційного простору.

The molecular weight of the enzyme was determined by SDS-PAGE method. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis was done to authenticate the degree of degradation of agar. The presence of agarase gene was targeted using the required primers and amplified by Polymerase chain reaction. Also the study addresses the problem of solid waste generation of agar waste by any microbiological laboratories and industries.
PRODUCTION AND PARTIAL CHARACTERIZATION OF A MILK-CLOTTING PROTEINASE PRODUCED BY BACILLUS SUBTILIS SMDFS-2B MN715837 IN SUBMERGED CULTURES
Authors: Mamo Jermen , Kangwa Martin , Fernandez-Lahore Hector-Marcelo , Assefa Fassil
Published: April 2021

This study focused on the production and partial characterization of a milk-clotting protease produced by Bacillus subtilis SMDFS 2B in submerged cultures, under partially optimized conditions. The crude enzyme was recovered in the culture supernatant and concentrate was produced after cell removal and subsequent dialysis. Inhibition studies were conducted employing four distinct protease inhibitors: Pepstatin-A, Phenylmethane-sulphonyl-fluoride (PMSF), Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and iodoacetamide (IA). The effect of temperature, pH, metal ions and substrate concentration on milk-clotting activity were also evaluated. The thermal stability of the enzyme was determined by incubating the crude enzyme at a temperature value ranging from 35 oC to 60 oC. Similarly, pH stability was determined at pH values ranging between 4.5 and 8.0. The highest milk-clotting activity was observed at a temperature of 55 oC and pH 5.5. The crude enzyme preparation remained stable on incubation at 35 oC and 40 oC for 15 min and at pH 5.5. The enzyme also showed the lowest residual milk-clotting activity in the presence of EDTA (7.94%) and Pepstatin-A (26.71%). The addition of Mg2+ and Mn2+ significantly increased milk-clotting activity. The enzyme also showed an elevation in its apparent milk-clotting activity upon increasing the substrate (skim-milk) concentration. Thus, the milk-clotting protease produced by B. subtilis SMDFS 2B by submerged fermentation revealed some interesting milk-clotting characteristics. This may open the way for applications in the food and dairy industries.

Authors: Akhter Shamima , Mahmud Golam
Published: April 2021

Union Parishad (UP) is the lowest tier of the Local Government of Bangladesh which bridges between people and government to ensure people’s participation in governance system. Therefore, from the last two decades government has been emphasizing on enhancing political emancipation of women in local government. To promote female leadership in grass-root level, Ministry of Local Government established a provision in the Local Government Act of reserving 3 (three) seats for women in UPs. This reformation enabled the female leaders to be elected in the UPs by a direct vote of the people. This research intends to explore the roles played by these elected female members of the studied UPs. It was conducted following a qualitative method and interview technique. Face to face interview has been taken from 45 female members of 15 UPs in Dhamrai Upazila, Dhaka with semi structured questionnaire. The study found that most of the respondents are contributing to development related project, social safety net program, controlling early marriage and dowry, family planning and female health-related program, awareness building of hygiene and sanitation, adult literacy etc. At the same time, it is found that significant numbers of the elected female members are not conscious about their responsibilities and even though they do not have any idea about UP manual. Finally, it revealed the obstacles in their workplaces, the challenges in their families, local societies, and recommended probable measures to overcome such situations. Besides, securing female leadership and active representations in the UPs can include the backward women in the mainstream of development and decision-making process which will undoubtedly contribute enormously to women empowerment.

Protocol for Monitoring Fish Communities in Small Streams in the Heartland Inventory and Monitoring Network
Authors: Dodd Hope , Peitz David , Rowell Gareth , Hinsey Janice , Bowles David , Morrison Lloyd , DeBacker Michael , Haack-Gaynor Jennifer , Williams Jefrey
Published: April 2021

Fish communities are an important component of aquatic systems and are good bioindicators of ecosystem health. Land use changes in the Midwest have caused sedimentation, erosion, and nutrient loading that degrades and fragments habitat and impairs water quality. Because most small wadeable streams in the Heartland Inventory and Monitoring Network (HTLN) have a relatively small area of their watersheds located within park boundaries, these streams are at risk of degradation due to adjacent land use practices and other anthropogenic disturbances. Shifts in the physical and chemical properties of aquatic systems have a dramatic effect on the biotic community. The federally endangered Topeka shiner (Notropis topeka) and other native fishes have declined in population size due to habitat degradation and fragmentation in Midwest streams. By protecting portions of streams on publicly owned lands, national parks may offer refuges for threatened or endangered species and species of conservation concern, as well as other native species. This protocol describes the background, history, justification, methodology, data analysis and data management for long-term fish community monitoring of wadeable streams within nine HTLN parks: Effigy Mounds National Monument (EFMO), George Washington Carver National Monument (GWCA), Herbert Hoover National Historic Site (HEHO), Homestead National Monument of America (HOME), Hot Springs National Park (HOSP), Pea Ridge National Military Park (PERI), Pipestone National Monument (PIPE), Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve (TAPR), and Wilson's Creek national Battlefield (WICR). The objectives of this protocol are to determine the status and long-term trends in fish richness, diversity, abundance, and community composition in small wadeable streams within these nine parks and correlate the long-term community data to overall water quality and habitat condition (DeBacker et al. 2005).

Published: April 2021

The present study discussed the feelings and sentiments that unquestionably exist in Western
media particularly in U.S films against Islam and Muslims after Sep 11, 2001, terrorist
attacks in the United States, and the reaction to them increased the hater against Muslims.
Specifically, the assumption that Islam is characteristically fierce or that Muslims have a
reopensity for psychological warfare. Since 9/11, explicit people have transformed
Islamophobia into an industry. In this study, content analysis of some commercially
successful U.S films is being provided that has perpetuated popularized Islamophobia.
Specifically, Hollywood films i.e. American Sniper, The Hurt Locker, and The Dictator have
been examined. Although the researcher’s analysis fundamentally talks about these movies
inside the setting of twenty-first century Islamophobia, Additionally, it will also elaborate
how relentless negative stereotypes are being drawn from decades against Muslims by the
West with the help of media.
Quem realmente sabe que a África não é um país? Desprendimentos decoloniais em Educação Matemática
Authors: Silva Michela Tuchapesk da , Osorio Carolina Tamayo
Published: April 2021

No presente artigo nos propomos a abrir margem para encontros outros com a prática sociocultural Africana Sona como efeito de desprendimentos de saberes ou ideias que podem ser utilizadas para interpretar esta prática segundo os padrões próprios da Matemática disciplinarmente organizada. Assim, apresentamos modos outros de pensar/sentir/experimentar a vida, de se deixar afetar, ao assumir a opção decolonial como possibilidade para criar, inventar, filosofar com os Sona. Encontros que permitam novos afetos e novos conceitos, para desconstruir aquilo que nos foi dado como verdade, para desestabilizar um sistema de pensamento que se ancora no projeto Modernidade/Colonialidade. Neste sentido, buscamos nos desprender de qualquer concepção de conhecimento que procure instituir-se como universal, procurando criar fissuras no racismo epistemológico que permeia os currículos escolares e universitários ao convocar diferentes conhecimentos para dialogar de forma horizontalizada, isto é, libertar a diferença. Entendendo que, assumir a opção decolonial provoca movimentos recíprocos de existência/resistência que procuram pela prática de uma Educação Matemática que desconstrói seu lugar privilegiado para a transformação e transgressão que põe em ação novos pensamentos.
Da comunidade LGBT+ para as aulas de Matemática: que interlocuções são possíveis?
Authors: Barros Denner Dias
Published: April 2021

As aulas de matemática têm potência para promover discussões sociais e contribuir para que os estudantes desenvolvam uma visão crítica de mundo. Entretanto, algumas temáticas ainda têm tido pouco espaço, mesmo nas práticas de professores que objetivam trabalhar em uma perspectiva inclusiva e com reflexões sobre justiça social. Neste artigo pretende-se refletir sobre como o movimento LGBT+ pode contribuir para que as lutas, histórias e particularidades desta comunidade estejam mais presentes na escola. O engajamento de professores de matemática na construção de uma relação sociopolítica com os estudantes se mostra necessária para que estes se formem cidadãos críticos que respeitem e valorizem as diferenças.

Este ensaio discute os lugares da escola e da universidade em diferentes cenários da formação de professores de matemática, em um debate que é atravessado pela gramática do samba. Propomos o alargamento de gramáticas normativas com o intuito de abrir outros caminhos para a formação de professores de matemática, a partir de saberes, metodologias, práticas e linguagens subalternizadas pelos efeitos da colonialidade, reivindicados aqui como referências e não como objetos de pesquisa, alegorias ou metáforas. Como contragolpe aos desencantos do projeto colonial, operamos nos vazios deixados e apresentamos a noção de mate(gra)mática para expor e rasurar a matemática eurocêntrica, frequentemente apresentada como linguagem universal para explicar o mundo. Convidamos a formação de professores de matemática para uma encruzilhada (Rufino, 2019) marcada pelo cruzo entre escola, universidade e culturas populares, um lugar pluriversal de encontro que reúne diferentes travessias e não nega qualquer caminho enquanto possibilidade. Neste artigo, reivindicamos o samba como campo conceitual afro-diaspórico para atravessar a formação docente com a gramática de seus tambores (Simas, 2020) e (re)inventar o ensino de matemática. Propomos, ainda, o alargamento do presente para evocar presenças supraviventes de referências do samba brasileiro, cujo legado epistemológico, metodológico e poético é aqui legitimado como potência de vida para produzir encantamento no ensino de Matemática.
A concepção de gênero por meio de memes em uma aula de Matemática: uma análise sob as lentes da decolonialidade
Authors: Sachet Bruna , Rosa Maurício
Published: April 2021

Essa pesquisa objetiva investigar como se apresenta a concepção de gênero de alunos e alunas do 1º ano do Ensino Médio evidenciadas por meio de atividades com memes em uma aula de matemática. Nesse sentido, teoricamente nos sustentamos em estudos sobre gênero e decolonialidade, focando, principalmente, a ideia de decolonialidade de gênero, a qual se opõe à colonialidade de gênero que é evidenciada sob uma perspectiva eurocêntrica do saber, ou seja, como algo pertencente ao homem-branco, no nosso caso, efetivamente o saber matemático. Assim, desenvolvemos atividades com memes da internet que tratavam da temática gênero, perpetuando uma posição colonial, assim como, memes que referenciam a mulher como não detentora do saber lógico-matemático. Essas atividades foram fontes de reflexão sobre a própria concepção de gênero de cada estudante e propiciaram que essas concepções viessem à tona. Nossos resultados traçam um perfil de indiferença, por parte de alguns alunos, em um primeiro momento, quanto a naturalizações coloniais sobre as relações entre homens e mulheres. Ou seja, há, por vezes, uma despreocupação com o fato do acesso ao corpo feminino ser de decisão do homem na colonialidade das relações afetivas. Sugere, ainda, generalizações das mulheres a fim de justificar determinados comportamentos e defender as atitudes de acesso ao corpo. No entanto, a reflexão pode levar, ao mesmo tempo, a uma postura que encara que a mulher não é menos incapaz que o homem, que não deixa de saber matemática, que possui raciocínio lógico, bem como, o fato dela ser livre para escolher o que quiser ser.
Exploração de algoritmos históricos de multiplicação: um diálogo entre Paulo Freire e ideias decoloniais
Authors: Hoffman Bernadete Verônica , Zanon Thiarla Xavier Dal-Cin
Published: April 2021

Relata-se aqui um trabalho com alunos do 5º anode uma escola pública, em que se exploram algoritmos alternativos de multiplicação. Estes foram desenvolvidos em oficina na escola em que os estudantes os ensinaram aos pais e familiares. Como a turmajá resolvia amultiplicação pelo algoritmo usual, ampliou-se sua compreensão, desafiando-os a descobrir “outros jeitos” de efetuá-la, aprendendo o algoritmo árabe (ou gelosia), o russo e o chinês. O estudo foi desenvolvido na perspectiva em que o professor deixa de ser detentor do conhecimento e estabelece com o estudante um círculo de saberes em que todos ensinam e aprendem: professores, pais e alunos, de acordo com Santos (1997), Hoffman (2012) e Freire (1996; 1987). Busca-se um ensino de matemática em que o estudante constrói conhecimentoà medida que desenvolve a sua autonomia de pensamento quando discute com seus pares e professor. Corroborando esse pensamento, as ideias decoloniais se fundem àquelas de Freire (1987), quando os estudantes redescobriram procedimentos históricos de culturas diferentes, reinventaram soluções para a multiplicação com zero na ordem das dezenas e melhor compreenderam os agrupamentos na base dez. A aprendizagem da multiplicação ocorreu com ludicidade, enquanto o estudante construía a concepção de matemática como criação humana, em diferentes espaços e tempos, e não como um conhecimento pronto e acabado que deveriam aprender (Zonzini, 2016). A experiência mostrou que todoscompreenderama operação, melhoraram o raciocínio multiplicativo e iniciaram a construção de conceitos geométricos. Os estudantes partilharam com familiares novas aprendizagensem uma relação dialógica que trouxe motivação e curiosidade sobre os algoritmos e suas origens. Ademais, perceberam a matemática como aprendível e prazerosa, um saber que liberta, e não exclui; portanto, precursor de uma nova racionalidade que se discute na perspectiva da decolonialidade.

Objective: To compare short-term complications in elective and emergency tracheostomy.Study Design: Comparative cross sectional. Place Duration of Study: The study was conducted in the Department of ENT, Head and Neck Surgery at Combined Military Hospital (CMH) Peshawar from 21th October 2018 to 20th October 2019. Materials and Methods: In this study 60 patients undergoing tracheostomy were included. Patients were divided into two groups, each with 30 participants. Patients in group A had elective whereas group B had emergency tracheostomy. Short term complications including hemorrhage, surgical emphysema, cardiac arrest and stomal infection were noted in both groups. Chi-square test was applied as test of significance to compare the two groups. Results: Emergency tracheostomy is associated with significantly increased risk of hemorrhage and surgical emphysema (p value being <0.05. There was no statistical difference in occurrence of stomal infection and cardiac arrest between the two groups. Conclusion: Tracheostomy performed in emergency is fraught with complications. Our study validates the fact that emergency tracheostomy is associated with significantly increased risk of postoperative hemorrhage and surgical emphysema.

Conclusion: Musculoskeletal disorders are among the most common problems in dentists; they should take the necessary steps in order to prevent them.
A generalization of the (CN) inequality and its applications
Authors: LAOKUL THANOMSAK , PANYANAK BANCHA
Published: April 2021

We extend the (CN) inequality of Bruhat and Tits in CAT(0) spaces to the general setting of uniformly convex hyperbolic spaces. We also show that, under some appropriate conditions, the sequence of Ishikawa iteration defined by Panyanak converges to a strict fixed point of a multi-valued Suzuki mapping.
Inexact descent methods for convex minimization problems in Banach spaces
Authors: REICH SIMEON , ZASLAVSKI ALEXANDER J.
Published: April 2021

"Given a Lipschitz and convex objective function of an unconstrained optimization problem,
defined on a Banach space, we revisit the class of regular vector fields which was introduced in our previous
work on descent methods. We study, in particular, the asymptotic behavior of the sequence of
values of the objective function for a certain inexact process generated by a regular vector field when the sequence of computational errors converges to zero and show that this sequence of values converges to the infimum of the given objective
function of the unconstrained optimization problem."

Published: April 2021

Maternal Mortality Rate in Bojonegoro Regency in 2019 ranked second in East Java, namely 146.64 per100,000 Live Births. Meanwhile, in the first semester of 2020, there were 24 maternal deaths. This researchwas conducted to see the relationship between the mother’s status is too young, too old, too much, and tooclose (4T) to Maternal Death. This study analyzed quantitative secondary data for the first semester of 2020in Bojonegoro Regency using the Risk Ratio (RR) calculation with a significance level of 95% CI. A motherwith age too old will likely cause maternal death with RR= 0.443. Mothers with too many children have arisk of dying with RR= 3.153. A mother with the child’s birth spacing is too close has a risk of dying withRR= 1.05. Analysis of maternal mortality based on mothers with 4T who use contraception is that they riskbreaking with RR = 19.3, 5. The status of mothers with 4T can be a risk factor for maternal mortality, so itis necessary to monitor and prevent it with a family planning program.
