GAMBARAN KADAR HEMOGLOBIN PADA MAHASISWA SEBELUM DAN SESUDAH MENGKONSUMSI MIE INSTAN
Authors: Wisma Wati Dian
Published: November 2023

Riskesdas tahun 2018, menyebut 7,8% penduduk indonesia mengkonsumsi mie instan/makanan lainnya setiap harinya. Pada provinsi jawa timur menyebut 4,6% penduduk indonesia mengkonsumsi mie instan/makanan lainnya setiap harinya. Mie instan telah menjadi makanan pokok dunia yang memiliki banyak varian rasa, harga terjangkau dan memiliki waktu simpan jangka panjang. Saat ini mie instan menjadi makanan favorit banyak orang salah satunya adalah mahasiswa. Konsumsi mie instan berlebihan tanpa menambahkan sumber protein akan mengganggu proses pembentukkan hemoglobin yang membutuhkan makanan  kaya zat besi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran kadar hemoglobin sebelum dan sesudah mengkonsumsi mie instan pada mahasiswa jurusan TLM. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian deskriptif analitik. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Laboratorium Hematologi Jurusan TLM Politeknik Kesehatan Kemenkes Surabaya pada Oktober 2021 sampai dengan April 2022. Sampel dalam penelitian adalah wanita atau pria berusia 18 sampai 22 tahun, wanita tidak sedang menstruasi dan pria bukan perokok yang telah memenuhi kriteria sebanyak 30 orang yang akan diperiksa kadar hemoglobin sebelum dan sesudah mengkonsumsi mie instan. Pemeriksaan kadar hemoglobin menggunakan alat POCT. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata nilai kadar hemoglobin sebelum mengkonsumsi mie instan dalam kategori normal memiliki rerata sebesar 14,0 g/dl dan standar deviasi 1,767, sedangkan kadar hemoglobin sesudah mengkonsumsi mie instan dalam kategori normal memiliki rerata sebesar 13,9 g/dl dan standar deviasi 1,537, sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa kadar hemoglobin pada mahasiswa sebelum dan sesudah mengkonsusmsi mie instan mengalami penurunan
Increasing Impact of Spain on the Equity Markets of Brazil, Chile and Mexico During the Neoliberal Reforms of the 1990s
Authors: Rivas Andres , Verma Rahul , Rodriguez Antonio , Albuquerque Pedro H.
Published: November 2023

Purpose: The article examines stock index price responses in Brazil, Chile, and Mexico to those in the US, Spain, and four European countries during three sub-periods surrounding the neoliberal reforms of the 1990s: 1988 to 1994, 1995 to 1998, and 1999 to 2004.

Design/methodology/approach: The methodology is empirical and uses time series analysis, in particular impulse response functions (IRFs) derived using vector autoregression (VAR) models.

Main Findings: It finds that equity markets became more interconnected as countries opened to international trade and capital flows and that there was an increasing impact of Spain on Latin American equity markets. Stronger economic linkages (more trade and foreign direct investment) between Spain and these countries, especially in Brazil, seem to explain increased equity market interconnectedness.

Research limitations/implications: The study limitations are, in general, the same that apply to the VAR methodology, and in particular, to missing control variables or to possible bias in the selection of the subsample periods used as historical benchmarks.

Originality/value: To our knowledge, no other work showed that there was an increasing impact of Spain on Latin American equity markets during the neoliberal reform period by using IRFs and VAR models.
Contactos sociolingüísticos de la inmigración española desde principios del siglo XX en Francia
Authors: Lagarde Christian
Published: November 2023

La inmigración española a Francia ha venido desarrollándose según unas seis oleadas, de signo distinto (exilio y migraciones económicas) entre 1914 y la actualidad. A nivel sociolingüístico, varían no solo según procedencias y destinos sino conforme al motivo y circunstancias de la migración, el bagaje tanto sociocultural como sociolingüístico del emigrante, así como el modo de asentamiento en la zona de destino y las expectativas personales y/o familiares de regreso a la patria. Todos estos parámetros vitales no poco inciden en la producción lingüística del emigrante y de sus hijos, que según procede de adquisición o aprendizaje, se mueve entre interferencias y alternancia de lenguas. De ellas se darán muestras en el caso de la zona fronteriza franco-catalanohablante de Cataluña del Norte.
Application of Diethylenetriaminepenta pentasodium salt as an eco-friendly depressant to effectively improve the flotation separation of scheelite and calcite
Authors: Zhou Hepeng , Wu Handan , Guo Jiangfeng , Tang Xuekun , Huang Wen , Luo Xianping
Published: November 2023

Diethylenetriaminepenta (methylene-phosphonic acid) pentasodium salt (DTPMPA), an eco-friendly reagent, was tried for the first time as a depressant for flotation separation of scheelite from calcite. Micro-flotation tests show that DTPMPA can selectively depress the floatability of calcite. In contrast, DTPMPA barely affects the flotation behavior of scheelite. Based on the selective depress effect, floatation separation of scheelite and calcite can be effectively achieved by using DTPMPA as depressant in artificially mixed minerals flotation tests. Based on a series of measurements, it found the surface of calcite was positively charged due to the existence of Ca ion site, which can be chelated with -PO3H- functional group on the surface of DTPMPA. In the flotation process, DTPMPA can be chemically absorbed on the surface of calcite to inhibit further collector adsorption. On contrast, little DTPMPA was adsorbed on the surface of scheelite due to the spatial site resistance and electrostatic repulsion induced by surface WO42+. All in all, these results exhibit DTPMPA has excellent selective depression ability on calcite, which can be potentially applied in the actual scheelite flotation process.
Small airway dysfunction and impulse oscillometry in adult patients with asthma: recent findings
Authors: Cottini Marcello , Lombardi Carlo , Comberiati Pasquale , Landi Massimo , Berti Alvise
Published: November 2023

Asthma is a respiratory disease affecting more than 300 million people around the world. Airflow obstruction and inflammation due to asthma usually involve large airways, but recently small airway involvement (internal diameter < 2 mm) has been shown to represent one of the main determinants of asthma and asthma control. In fact, compared to large airway involvement, small airway dysfunction (SAD) has been demonstrated across all the asthma severity in the majority of patients, as assessed with Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) steps. Clinically, SAD is associated with, among other features, exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, asthma-related night awakenings, obesity/overweight, more severe airway hyperresponsiveness, worse asthma control, and more severe exacerbations. Impulse oscillometry (IOS), a forced oscillation technique (FOT) requiring less effort than spirometry from the patients, demonstrated to accurately measure SAD in children and adults. The fall in resistance from 5 Hz to 20 Hz (R5–R20), which is the most used index for the resistance of peripheral airways, is how SAD is usually identified by IOS. Other crucial parameters measured by IOS are the reactance at 5 Hz (X5), reflecting elastic recoil of the peripheral airways, the resonant frequency (Fres), which is the frequency at which the inertial properties of the airway and the capacitance of the lung periphery are equal, and the reactance area (AX), reflecting the elastic properties of the lung periphery. In this mini review, the latest findings on the utility of IOS to identify SAD and the associations between SAD and clinical features in adult asthmatic patients were addressed.

Published: November 2023

Since the early 1970s, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has received over 800 investigational new drug applications (INDs) for, and pre-INDs pertaining to, research of cannabis or cannabis-derived products. The current data show that applications for research of these products submitted by both academic researchers and commercial developers focus on four major clinical areas: addiction and pain medicine (53%), neurology (19%), immunology and inflammation (14%), and psychiatry (9%). The product types studied have expanded greatly in recent years and include a wide variety of topical, inhalable, injectable, and oral products. In this article, the authors present a breakdown of cannabis and cannabis-derived applications received by the FDA over the past 50 years. The authors also provide a summary of their experience and challenges in reviewing applications for research of cannabis and cannabis-derived products, as well as recommendations for those interested in studying cannabis and cannabis-derived products in human clinical trials. This perspective article includes a discussion on important IND criteria, the pre-IND consultation program, drug master files (DMFs), and various guidance documents and resources. Lastly, the authors provide their perspective for the future of cannabis drug development.

Statement on Global University Rankings
Authors:   Independent Expert Group (IEG)
Published: November 2023

Universities are crucial organisations for our modern times, playing a key role in the delivery of education and training. However, the rise in influence of global university rankings over the past two decades has promoted a number of perverse and harmful behaviours which produce systemic long-term negative effects in higher education. With the aim of promoting equitable and improved academic public health education, research, and practice as a global public good, UNU-IIGH convened an independent expert group (IEG) to address the problematic nature and effects of global university rankings. Emerging from several rounds of discussion, this statement from the IEG explains why global university rankings are problematic and puts forward a set of recommendations for change.
Merger Interactions Enhance Star Formation Rates in Galaxy Group Housing QSO PKS0405−123 and Gaseous Nebulae
Authors: Wolter Ian E. , Berg Michelle A. , Chisholm John
Published: November 2023

The star formation rate (SFR) of galaxies can change due to interactions between galaxies, stellar feedback ejection of gas into the circumgalactic medium, and energy injection from accretion onto black holes. However, it is not clear which of these processes dominantly alters the formation of stars within galaxies. Johnson et al. reported the discovery of large gaseous nebulae in the intragroup medium of a galaxy group housing QSO PKS0405−123 and hypothesized they were created by galaxy interactions. We identify a sample of 30 group member galaxies at z ∼ 0.57 from the Very Large Telescope/Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer observations of the field and calculate their [O ii]λλ3727,3729 SFRs in order to investigate whether the QSO and nebulae have affected the SFRs of the surrounding galaxies. We find that star formation is more prevalent in galaxies within the nebulae, signifying galaxy interactions are fueling higher SFRs.
Use of Coordinator Role Improves Access to Rheumatologic Advanced Therapy
Authors: Farrer Chandra , Thib Sydney , Eder Lihi , Jerome Dana , Gakhal Natasha
Published: November 2023

Objective

Delays in initiation of advanced therapies, which include biologics and targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, contribute to poor patient outcomes. The objective of this quality improvement project was to identify factors that lead to a delay in the initiation of advanced therapy and to perform plan-do-study-act cycles to decrease the time to start advanced therapy.

Methods

A retrospective chart review identified factors involved in delay to start advanced therapy. The primary outcome of the study was the number of days to advanced therapy start as measured by the date of rheumatologist recommendation to the date advanced therapy was initiated by the patient. An Advanced Therapy Coordinator role was created to standardize the workflow, optimize communication, and ensure a safety checklist was instituted.

Results

A total of 125 patients were reviewed for the study with 18 excluded. Preintervention median wait time was 82.0 (IQR 46.0-80.5) days. Median wait time during the intervention improved to 49.5 (IQR 34.0-69.5) days (April 2021 to January 2022), with nonrandom variation post intervention. Nonrandom variation was also noted in the latter baseline data (March 2020 to March 2021).

Conclusion

This study demonstrates improved wait time to advanced therapy initiation through the role of an Advanced Therapy Coordinator to facilitate communication pathways.
Application of neural networks to inverse elastic scattering problems with near-field measurements
Authors: Sun Yao , He Lijuan , Chen Bo
Published: November 2023

This paper is concerned with the application of a machine learning approach to inverse elastic scattering problems via neural networks. In the forward problem, the displacements are approximated by linear combinations of the fundamental tensors of the Cauchy-Navier equations of elasticity, which are expressed in terms of sources placed inside the elastic solid. From the near-field measurement data, a two-layer neural network method consisting of a gated recurrent unit to gate recurrent unit has been used to reconstruct the shape of an unknown elastic body. Moreover, the convergence of the method is proved. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the presented method are examined through numerical examples.
Privacy amplification for wireless federated learning with Rényi differential privacy and subsampling

Published: November 2023

A key issue in current federated learning research is how to improve the performance of federated learning algorithms by reducing communication overhead and computing costs while ensuring data privacy. This paper proposed an efficient wireless transmission scheme termed the subsampling privacy-enabled RDP wireless transmission system (SS-RDP-WTS), which can reduce the communication and computing overhead in the process of learning but also enhance the privacy protection ability of federated learning. We proved our scheme's convergence and analyzed its privacy guarantee, as well as demoonstrated the performance of our scheme on the Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology database (MNIST) and Canadian Institute for Advanced Research, 10 classes datasets (CIFAR10).
Generalized $ (f, \lambda) $-projection operator on closed nonconvex sets and its applications in reflexive smooth Banach spaces
Authors: Bounkhel Messaoud
Published: November 2023

In this paper, we expanded from the convex case to the nonconvex case in the setting of reflexive smooth Banach spaces, the concept of the $ f $-generalized projection $ \pi^{f}_S:X^*\to S $ initially introduced for convex sets and convex functions in [19,20]. Indeed, we defined the $ (f, \lambda) $-generalized projection operator $ \pi^{f, \lambda}_S:X^*\to S $ from $ X^* $ onto a nonempty closed set $ S $. We proved many properties of $ \pi^{f, \lambda}_S $ for any closed (not necessarily convex) set $ S $ and for any lower semicontinuous function $ f $. Our principal results broaden the scope of numerous theorems established in [19,20] from the convex setting to the nonconvex setting. An application of our main results to solutions of nonconvex variational problems is stated at the end of the paper.
A generalized effective neurosophic soft set and its applications
Authors: Al-Hijjawi Sumyyah , Ahmad Abd Ghafur , Alkhazaleh Shawkat
Published: November 2023

We introduce the concept of an effective neutrosophic soft set, which aims to capture the influence on three independent membership functions representing degrees of truth (T), indeterminacy (I) and falsity (F). We go further by presenting a generalization of the effective neutrosophic soft set, which includes the incorporation of a degree to signify the potential for an approximate value-set. This enhancement contributes to improved efficiency and realism in the concept. Notably, this innovative approach leverages the strengths of both the generalized neutrosophic set and the effective neutrosophic soft set. The subsequent sections delve into fundamental operations on the generalized effective neutrosophic soft set, providing clarity through illustrative examples and propositions. Furthermore, we demonstrate the practical application of the generalized effective neutrosophic soft set in addressing decision-making problems and medical diagnoses.
Élargir l’horizon, inclure les œuvres pour la jeunesse, le relais des conteurs face à la transmission de la mémoire de la Shoah
Authors: Gyssels Kathleen
Published: November 2023

En France et en Belgique, les recherches sur la corrélation entre littérature de jeunesse et la Shoah sont rares, contrairement à l’attention phénoménale en Amérique (tout le monde connaît Maus d’Art Spiegelman) et dans d’autres pays anglophones. Pourtant, les livres pour enfants qui dépeignent la Shoah en mots et en images n’ont cessé de prendre de l’ampleur dans la France d’après-guerre et en Belgique. Alors que la critique et la recherche littéraires semblent encore balbutiantes, ce dossier montrera que l’analyse critique de ce corpus est d’une grande pertinence pour l’avenir.
“Il était [mille] fois, un juif désespérément heureux” : ou comment expliquer la Shoah aux enfants (André Schwarz‑Bart)
Authors: Gyssels Kathleen
Published: November 2023

Kathleen Gyssels onderzoekt de paradox dat in de roman die als ‘volwassen’ wordt aangestipt, het kind toch centraal staat: enerzijds door de jonge leeftijd van het hoofdpersonage dat wordt geconfronteerd met de opkomst van het nazisme; daarnaast door het ‘geloof’ in verhalen en sprookjes, wanneer hij als gulzige ‘zondagse’ Jood sprookjes verslindt (‘Er was eens’); en ten slotte door de impact van beelden op een ogenblik dat de taal nog in ‘opbouw’ is. Gedurende zijn hele schrijverscarrière ondernam André Schwarz-Bart talrijke pogingen om kinderen over de Shoah te vertellen.

Avec un style travaillant sur le rythme, les reprises phoniques et lexicales, Rachel Hausfater centre son attention sur les corps déportés des enfants, sur le souvenir fantasmé de ceux des parents et, de manière originale, sur le corps amoureux dans les camps. La parole des enfants est autant le vestige d’une langue détruite que la réappropriation d’un espace de langage et d’une identité.
Éric David. “Nuremberg. Droit de la force et force du droit”
Authors: Coutin Willy
Published: November 2023

LIVRE : En décembre 2017, un quatrième crime relevant de la compétence de la Cour pénale internationale (CPI) a été adopté par l’Assemblée des États parties au traité de Rome de 1998 qui l’avait instituée. Il s’agit de l’emploi par un État de la force armée contre la souveraineté, l’intégrité ou l’indépendance d’un autre État (ou « guerre d’agression »). Entré en vigueur en 2002, le traité de Rome confie à la CPI la charge de juger des personnes, responsables politiques ou militaires, accusées de crimes de guerre, crimes contre la paix et crimes contre l’humanité. On retrouve là trois des quatre chefs d’accusation que définirent les vainqueurs de l’Allemagne nazie dans les accords de Londres du 8 juillet 1945 qui établissaient le champ d’action du Tribunal militaire international qui s’apprêtait à siéger à Nuremberg. Ce procès fit prendre un tournant historique au traitement réservé aux crimes commis dans le cadre de conflits et à la définition d’une communauté internationale décidée à ne plus accepter l’impunité des auteurs d’atrocités bafouant le sens commun et les valeurs universelles. Aujourd’hui, 123 pays sont États parties au traité de Rome.

Insect Biodiversity of Turkey
Authors: Sevgili Hasan
Published: November 2023

The rapidly increasing world population creates more need for shelter, transportation, energy, and nutrition, leading to the construction of new settlements and agricultural areas, making habitats fragmented, endangering many species and a significant portion of local populations. Biodiversity is adversely affected by the deterioration of the functioning, and the integrity of habitat ecosystems. Insects, which constitute an important part of the animal kingdom, and exist all over the globe, affect human life both directly and indirectly, and are an indispensable part of the food chain; yet insect diversity is also under serious threat. Anatolia is a land where rich habitat and climate diversity are observed, being as rich as the whole of continental Europe in terms of plant and insect diversity on its own. In this review, the origins of, and the contributing factors to, insect diversity in Turkey is examined through data on a few specific insect groups that dwell steppe, aquatic, cave, and mountainous regions.
Cybersecurity and Business Continuity
Authors: Russo Nelson
Published: November 2023

As a consequence of the evolution and digital transition, organizations depend more on ICT. The behavioral data generated through interactions with ICT is collected and analyzed by the Internet of Behaviors (IoB). In this context, cybersecurity is a critical aspect of business continuity (BC). Organizations must ensure that their ICT systems are protected from cyber-attacks to avoid disruptions to their operations. A BC Plan (BCP) that considers cybersecurity can help ensure the continuity of critical functions in the event of a cyber-attack. Raising awareness is relevant to promote safe practices and minimize the risk of successful cyberattacks and loss of behavioral data. Therefore, a solid BC Management System (BCMS) should address cybersecurity and assure that all stakeholders are aware of the subjacent risks to a business and how to avoid, mitigate, or cope with them. This chapter presents the BC components and activities of a BCP that includes cybersecurity. Following the guidelines of the activities can result in avoiding or mitigating security risks by creating a successful BCP.

This study investigates whether Bitcoin may act as a safe haven in the capital markets, including France (CAC 40), Germany (DAX 30), the US (DJI), the UK (FTSE 100), Italy (FTSE MIB), Hong Kong (HANG SENG), Spain (IBEX 35), South Korea (KOSPI), Russia (IMOEX), and Japan (NIKKEI 225), as well as in commodities such as gold (GOLD HANDY HARMAN) and petroleum (WTI), and U.S. 10-year sovereign yields, during the 2020-2022 events. The authors analyze the financial integration and movements of markets to understand how BTC behaves during periods of global economic uncertainty. During the stress period, BTC did not integrate with the analyzed markets, suggesting that BTC exhibits properties of a hedge and a safe haven. BTC has properties of a hedge and a safe haven, and investors in these markets can benefit from investing in it as a secure asset and hedge. It is affected by CAC 40, FTSE 100, HANG SENG, and NIKKEI 225 stock indexes, and investors must carefully evaluate their investment strategies and risk tolerance when including BTC in their portfolio.
Getting the First and Second Decimals Right

Stealth assessment, like all assessments, must have three essential psychometric properties: validity, reliability, and fairness. Evidence-centered assessment design (ECD) provides a psychometrically sound framework for designing assessments based on a validity argument. This chapter describes how using ECD in the design of a stealth assessment helps designers meet the psychometric goals. It also discusses how to evaluate a stealth assessment's validity, reliability, and fairness after it is designed and implemented.

Prior studies have defined multiple, but inconsistent, roles for the enigmatic pattern recognition receptor NLRX1 in regulating several cancer-associated biological functions. In this study, we explore the role of NLRX1 in the highly metastatic murine 4T1 mammary tumor model. We describe a functional dichotomy of NLRX1 between two different cellular contexts: expression in healthy host cells versus expression in the 4T1 tumor cells. Using Nlrx1−/− mice engrafted with 4T1 tumors, we demonstrate that NLRX1 functions as a tumor suppressor when expressed in the host cells. Specifically, NLRX1 in healthy host cells attenuates tumor growth and lung metastasis through suppressing characteristics of epithelial–mesenchymal transition and the lung metastatic niche. Conversely, we demonstrate that NLRX1 functions as a tumor promoter when expressed in 4T1 tumor cells using gain- and loss-of-function studies both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, NLRX1 in the tumor cells augments 4T1 aggressiveness and metastasis through regulating epithelial–mesenchymal transition hallmarks, cell death, proliferation, migration, reactive oxygen species levels, and mitochondrial respiration. Collectively, we provide critical insight into NLRX1 function and establish a dichotomous role of NLRX1 in the 4T1 murine mammary carcinoma model that is dictated by cellular context.

Th1 cells are critical in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Serine protease inhibitor clade E1 (Serpine1) has been posited as an inhibitor of IFN-γ from T cells, although its role in autoimmunity remains unclear. In this study, we show that Serpine1 knockout (KO) mice develop EAE of enhanced severity relative to wild-type (WT) controls. Serpine1 overexpression represses Th1 cell cytokine production and pathogenicity, whereas Serpine1-KO:2D2 Th1 cells transfer EAE of increased severity in comparison with WT 2D2 Th1 cells. Notably, polarized Serpine1-KO Th1 cells display delayed expression of the Th1-specific inhibitory receptor, Tim-3 (T cell Ig and mucin–domain containing-3). Serpine1-KO:Tim-3-Tg Th1 cells, which transgenically overexpress Tim-3, showed increased expression of IFN-γ and reduced expression of the checkpoint molecules Lag-3 and PD-1 relative to WT Tim-3-Tg counterparts. Furthermore, Serpine1 deficiency restored the EAE phenotype of Tim-3-Tg mice that normally develop mild disease. Taken together, we identify Serpine1 as a negative regulator of Th1 cells.
Late registration for ante natal care by pregnant women with previous caesarean section
Authors: Ramotsababa Mareko , Setlhare Vincent
Published: November 2023

BackgroundDespite good access to antenatal care services for most women in Botswana, and regular training of health care workers in obstetrics and gynaecology, many pregnant women with previous caesarean section still presented late for antennal care at Letsholathebe II Memorial Hospital (LIIMH), in Maun, Botswana. Presenting late for antenatal care may lead to morbidity and mortality among pregnant women with previous caesarean section, and the babies they are carrying. Knowing the reasons why women with previous caesarean section present late for antenatal care may help in the formulation of interventions that decrease late presentation. Decreasing late presentation for ante natal care among pregnant women with previous caesarean section may decrease morbidity and mortality among these women and their babies.Aim The aim of the study was to explore the reasons why pregnant women with previous caesarean section registered late for ante natal care.SettingThis study was done at Letsholathebe II Memorial Hospital (LIIMH); a district a hospital situated in Maun Botswana.MethodsThis was a descriptive qualitative study. Consenting pregnant women who had a previous caesarean section delivery, were interviewed in the local language, until data saturation. These women presented at LIIMH, Maun, after the 20th week of pregnancy. The interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, translated into English and analysed thematically, using ATLAS-ti software.ResultsThe reasons that were raised by participants for late registration for antenatal care were lack of information, misconception on the appropriate booking time, and not knowing the place for their antenatal care. Participants’ dissatisfaction with the quality of clinic antenatal care, use of alternative antenatal care providers, delayed referral from local clinics, and experience from previous pregnancies were also mentioned as reasons for late registration.Discussion and ConclusionInadequate knowledge of antenatal care, and not knowing the planned place of delivery contributed to delays in registering for antenatal care at LIIMH. Dissatisfaction with antenatal care, and use of alternative antenatal care providers was another important factor. There is a need to keep pregnant women with previous caesarean section well informed about plans for their delivery, and for enlisting the help of alternative ante natal care providers, so as to improve management of pregnant women with previous caesarean section.
