Introduction: Soursop (Annona muricata Linn) is an Indonesian herbal plant. Soursop leaves contain acetogenins which selectively attack cancer cells. Methods: Experimental study with a posttest-only control group design. The study used 24 Sprague-Dawley Rattus norvegicus rats, randomly divided into 6 groups: no intervention group, positive control group (tamoxifen), negative control group (5% DMSO), treatment I group (soursop leaf extract 75 mg/kgBW), treatment II group (soursop leaf extract 150 mg/kgBW), and treatment III group (soursop leaf extract 300 mg/kgBW). All subjects were induced to have breast tumors by DMBA and estrogen injection. Results: Ethanol extract of soursop leaves (Annona muricata Linn) has no significant effect (p> 0.05) on inhibiting breast tumor growth. The weight of rats in soursop leaf ethanol extract group had no significant difference as compared with the any intervention, negative control, and positive control group (Mann-Whitney test, p > 0.05). Conclusion: The ethanol extract of soursop leaves has no inhibitory effect on breast tumor’s diameter, weight, and volume; also has no effect on the weight of Sprague-Dawley female rats with breast tumors
Rethinking political settlements in the Middle East and North Africa
Authors: Mansour Renad , Eaton Tim , Khatib Lina
Published: February 2023

In their attempts to reach political settlements among rival elites in the Middle East and elsewhere, international policymakers have repeatedly prioritized ‘stability’ over accountability. The resulting settlements (or ‘elite bargains’) have instead created and perpetuated political systems that benefit those elites at the expense of citizens. Many citizens in affected countries now protest against, and demand an end to, the very settlements that were meant to solve the problem of violence. Focusing on the examples of Iraq, Lebanon and Libya, this research paper shows that, while these ‘elite bargains’ have successfully reduced direct violence, they have overlooked structural forms of violence and failed to improve – and, in some cases, worsened – corruption and human development scores. The paper proposes a revised, inclusive approach to political settlements centred on increasing accountability and addressing the harms caused by violence in all its forms.

Authors: Sumpter Nickolas J. , Cale Chris , McCraney Michelle , Panesar-Aguilar Sunddip
Published: February 2023

Fuller Hamilton et al. (2015) review provided a suggested model to improve Career and Technical Education (CTE) equity so that this study could be replicated systematically. National resources examining CTE educational equity components did not exist. The problem addressed in the replication study was the need to explore educational inequity within the South Carolina CTE Health Science career cluster. No CTE educational equity research exists in South Carolina, so the purpose of the replication study was to explore educational inequity within the South Carolina CTE Health Science career cluster. Cultural Replication Theory was the conceptual framework used for this replication study. Four research questions were formulated to examine the CTE enrollment patterns in South Carolina concerning four demographic characteristics, namely sex, race/ethnicity, region, and socioeconomic status. Students enrolled in CTE within South Carolina during the 2018-19 school year was the population selected. Secondary data was collected from a sample of 196,318 CTE enrollees and examined using descriptive analysis procedures. Overall results were not uniform. Inconsistent levels of inequity existed within race, ethnicity, and sex. In addition, inequity was present regarding regional effects and socioeconomic status. Future recommendations for research include conducting a qualitative or mixed-method study to further explain the enrollment patterns of CTE programs in South Carolina. Implications for practice to address the inequities in South Carolina include improving the underrepresentation of educators by sex and race/ethnicity, recommending equity audits, examination of access and availability of opportunities within CTE programs, and encouragement of all educators actively adopting and advancing an equity agenda from the original study.

Authors: Strom Paris S. , Strom Robert D. , Sindel-Arrington Tricia , Rude Renée V.
Published: February 2023

The attention span of students and their ability to shut out distractions are learning conditions that concern educators more than ever before. Faculty at a community college assessed the learning conditions of students related to attention and distraction. Students self-administered an online Selective Attention Poll consisting of 20 multiple-choice items. The 239 culturally-diverse volunteers were 161 females and 78 males. Results indicated that most students believe they can get more work done in less time by multitasking, and consider this practice as necessary to meet the demands of college. Teachers could help students improve achievement by arranging innovative cooperative learning practices and developmental reading procedures. The majority of students declared their home as the most difficult place to study. Parents should provide a quiet environment and recognize student need for continued emotional support in early adulthood. The challenges for community college faculty are to help students improve study habits so they become more able to concentrate on assignments, read in-depth, value reflective thinking, diminish distractions, and build skills to work in groups.

Teachers’ Challenge of Using Own Expenses to Do the Employer’s Job in Selected Schools Located in Tshwane West District, Gauteng.
Authors: Maile Simeon
Published: February 2023

Generally, it is expected in any employment that the employer would supply all employees with all the necessary materials and knowledge resources to do their jobs. In the light of this expectation schools are allocated grants according to Norms and Standards for Funding ring-fenced for operations, and also receive learning and teaching support materials (LTSM) in terms of the National Policy earmarked for use in the classrooms for different subjects. Despite the allocation and supply of LTSM, many teachers still use their own expenses to execute their fiduciary duties in the classroom even though the Norms and Standards for Funding and LTSM policy mandates schools to take care of the LTSM items meant for use by teachers in the classroom. The purpose of this paper is to investigate teachers’ use of their own expenses to teach in the classroom. Data was drawn through the use of qualitative approaches from selected ten teachers (n=12) employed in schools categorised as quintile one to three. The findings reveal that most teachers use their own money to buy certain materials necessary for teaching in the classroom. I concluded that school budgets which are mandated to cater for LTSM should honour the allocation by buying enough LTSM covering the whole year.

Impact Analysis of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on Diplomacy
Authors: Ahmad Shairgojri Aadil
Published: February 2023

Science and Technology (S&T) were aggressively used for more than two decades during the Cold Conflict between the United States and the former Soviet Union to avert war and maintain diplomatic equilibrium in the conduct of 'International Relations' (I.R.). The prevalence of soft power in digital age politics and the empowerment of non-state actors in international relations are both aided by access to information and control over it. Aside from increased roles, requests for expanded outreach and accountability, and dwindling resources, the modern diplomatic service is particularly challenged by the multistakeholder and interdisciplinary international arena. The well-planned and well-organized use of ICT may empower diplomatic services, particularly in small and developing nations, and assist them in dealing with rising difficulties and delivering their full potential. The study goes into great detail regarding how science and technology affect diplomacy.

Published: February 2023

Improving the User Experience (UX) of mobile devices is of vital importance due to the advent of emerging technologies and the prevalence of using mobile devices. This research aims to develop a model for a mobile device that can suggest adaptive functionalities, based on the current user emotion and the context by changing the user’s negative emotions (sadness and anger) into positive ones. As a proof of concept, a keyboard named “Emotional Keyboard” was developed through five prototypes iteratively using Evolutionary Prototyping. Action Research was adopted as the methodology along with User-Centered Design (UCD) which further included two user surveys. The first three prototypes were implemented to decide the most optimal perception from facial expressions and text analytics. Subsequent prototypes provided affective functions to the user such as listening to music, playing a game, chat with friends, based on the detected negative emotion and the context. The evaluation of each of the prototypes was performed iteratively with user participation. The final (fifth) prototype evaluation was done in two phases, an individual analysis (to measure the performance of each user separately), and an overall analysis (a general analysis that averaged all the results from individual analysis and measured the performance of the overall model). Results of both analyses showed that eventually the Emotional Keyboard was able to predict the adaptive functions correctly to the user and it did not terminate its learning process where the users’ feedback was continuously used to improve its performance. In conclusion, an “Adaptive System with User Control” was developed thus improving the acceptability and usability of a mobile device which aligns with the research aim.
May the Patterns Be with You: A Framework for HCI Patterns Development
Authors: Moreira da Rosa Diego , Selbach Silveira Milene
Published: February 2023

By the end of the nineties, the concept of design patterns became a hot topic among the human-computer interaction community and many workshops have been held on the subject within international HCI conferences. After more than twenty years, HCI patterns continue to attract the attention of researchers around the world, but still struggle to be more widely adopted as a practical design tool. To better understand this context, we conducted a systematic literature mapping including papers from the ACM CHI Conference and from other five reputed HCI conference series. Through the analysis of 50 papers, we were able to elicit regional aspects, common terminology, and best practices for the research of patterns in HCI. Finally, based on the findings of the literature mapping, we propose an HCI pattern development framework that can assist researchers and professionals in the process of developing practical and useful pattern languages in a structured way.

Published: February 2023

Drought is one of the environmental stress factors and the most important factor limiting crop production, especially in rain-based agricultural areas. This research aimed to determine the effects of drought stress on some bread wheat genotypes and to determine drought tolerant genotypes among genotypes. In the research, 20 bread wheat genotypes were used as material. The experiment was carried out in fully controlled greenhouses belonging to the Faculty of Agriculture of Dicle University in 2022 according to the randomized blocks trial design with 4 replications. An artificial drought stress environment was constituted by irrigating the pots up to 40% of the field capacity. As a result of the research, as the plants belonging to five genotypes lost their vitality as a consequence of the drought effect, observations could not be taken and they were not subjected to statistical analysis. Among the investigated characteristics, the chlorophyll content (SPAD) value in the spiking stage, the chlorophyll content (SPAD) value in the flowering stage, the number of days spike, and the plant height were affected by the drought application at the level of 1%, while the spike height and the number of grains per spike were affected at the 5% level. It is noteworthy that line 6, which is the prominent genotype among the genotypes in terms of spike yield, is also the earliest, has the longest plant height, and is the genotype with the highest number of grains per spike.
Depressive disorders the source of origin and signals sent by children and adolescents that should alarm adults
Authors: Dmitruk-Sierocińska Katarzyna
Published: February 2023

Depression is a 'silent' illness. It often develops in solitude, is full of anxiety and takes away the joy and meaning of life. It is often believed that depression does not affect children and adolescents, but nothing could be further from the reality. Each year, statistics show more and more cases of depression in the age group of 7-18 years. This article addresses the issue of depressive symptoms in children and adolescents. It shows how different their behaviour can be and what signals should be paid attention too. Only adults who are aware of this illness can interpret them and thus trigger supportive measures. Unnoticed depression can progress rapidly. Symptoms cannot be ignored by saying "you're so young, so you have no problems", "smile, it's all right", "pull yourself together" or "you'll be fine". Depression is a recurring illness, and if left untreated, it is very likely to reappear. Today's carers should be extremely attentive, because the COVID-19 pandemic, reports from the war, excess of shocking content in the media fuelled by detailed pictures and videos, warnings of new diseases and crises in the world have a very strong impact on the functioning of children and adolescents. Also, the emotional absence of parents and numerous life problems contribute to the emergence and deepening of mental disorders in younger and older children.
Foreigner child in Polish primary school. Case study
Authors: Baranowska Aneta Sylwia
Published: February 2023

The aim of the research was to examine the functioning of foreign child in Polish primary school, with some particular focus on the experienced difficulties and the possible forms of help in the process of dealing with various adaptation problems. The research used the method of individual cases. The subject of the study was a 13-year-old Olena, who at the age of 9, came to Poland with her mother. The results of the study show that the girl in the new educational environment had to face many challenges, which included, above all, the need to acquire the ability to use the language of the country of emigration and establish relationships with Polish peers. The teaching staff of the institution that she attended undertook several measures to help her find herself in an unknown socio-cultural environment. Noteworthy is primarily the preparation of classmates for the presence of a foreign student, the individualization of teaching and the possibility of participating in various additional activities. Unfortunately, the school lacked several important elements, e.g., no reliable diagnosis of Olenas situation was made and no welcome package was prepared for her.

Published: February 2023

Soil carbon pools play a major role in sustaining agro-ecosystems and maintaining environmental quality as they act as a major source and sink of atmospheric carbon. The long-term effect of manuring and fertilization on accessibility of carbon pools of soil in high intensity rice (Oryza sativa L.)−potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)−wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and maize (Zea mays L.) −potato−onion (Allium cepa L.) cropping systems in Inceptisol of semi-arid sub-tropical India continuing for 10 years was studied. Soil samples were collected (0-15 and 15-30 cm soil depth) from the treatments comprising control (T1), 100% NPK-Fertilizer (T2), 100% N-Vermicompost (VC) (T3), 50% NPK-Fertilizer + 50% N-Vermicompost (VC) (T4), 100% NPK-Fertilizer + crop residue (CR) (T5), 100% N-Vermicompost + CR (T6). Assessment of carbon pools was done by estimating total soil C (TSC), total soil nitrogen (TSN), C:N ratio, carbon mineralization (Cmin), total polysaccharide (TP) and relationship between these pools. The results showed that the application of 100% N-VC (T3) and 100% N-VC + CR (T6) increased the TSC by 94% and 80%, respectively, over 100% NPK in rice-potato-wheat cropping system, while in maize-potato-onion system, 100% N-VC (T3) increased TSC by 48% over 100% NPK (T2) at 0-15 cm soil depth. The soil C:N ratios were generally wider in case of treatments receiving organic sources. In both the soil depths, the T6 treatment (100% N-VC + CR) had resulted higher C mineralization than the other treatments throughout the incubation period. The stable C was lower in maize–potato–onion system than that in the rice–potato–wheat system. The total polysaccharides was higher in organic amended treatments (T6, T3) over chemical fertilizer treatments in improving the TP content in soil which was related to greater C input.

Published: February 2023

The present study on the integrated nutrient management in Kinnow mandarin involved application of inorganic fertilizers, vermicompost and Azotobacter under different combinations. The pooled data analysis indicated that highest concentration of leaf and fruit N (2.57 and 0.06%), Ca (4.31 and 0.033%) and Mg (0.46 and 0.024%) with the combined application of Azotobacter + 25% nitrogen as vermicompost and 75% nitrogen as urea. Maximum leaf and fruit P (0.19 and 0.025%) were recorded with the application of vermicompost (to supply 50% N) and urea (to supply 50% N) augmented with Azotobacter. While highest leaf and fruit K (1.56 and 0.092%) were recorded with full doze of nitrogen applied as vermicompost along with Azotobacter. Maximum Azotobacter counts (31.6 Ã— 106 cfu g soil), bacterial counts (28.9 Ã— 106 cfu g soil) and fungal counts (35.5 Ã— 105 cfu g soil) were recorded with the application of full doze of nitrogen through vermicompost alongwith Azotobacter. The results suggested that 25% nitrogen can be replaced through chemical fertilization along with vermicompost on N- equivalent basis plus Azotobacter inoculation.
Prospects of Indian traditional fermented food as functional foods
Authors: CHAUDHARY ANITA , SHARMA D K , ARORA ANJU
Published: February 2023

The burgeoning population of the developing countries, climate change and shrinking resources are putting pressure on the food security. Thus it implies that in future we not only have to produce more but also do smart agriculture for sustaining on this planet. Moreover, in the era of globalization, people are looking more towards the healthy food, which can provide the nutrients, vitamins and minerals to the body. Hence, in future, the consumption of fermented food is going to increase not only across the world, but also in the developing countries. Traditionally people of India are trying to preserve the food with the fermentation and unknowingly, they are able to produce more nutritious and healthy food, which is able to alleviate many health problems. Scientific evidence has now started emerging in support of the traditional practices being practiced in the ancient times. However, the traditional practice of producing fermented food need to be done scientifically, as sometimes uncontrolled fermentation have led to the spoiled food, due to production of some toxic substances such as bacterial and mold toxins, which instead of providing benefits to the human beings may harm them.

Published: February 2023

Bacterial wilt (Ralstonia solanacearum) of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) has been a major production constraint in the tropics and sub tropics of the world. Lack of understanding about host, pathogen and environment perhaps one of the reasons for limited success in controlling this disease. In present investigation, six elite genotypes of eggplant were screened against bacterial wilt in field conditions and later SSR screening was done to identify markers linked for resistant and susceptible lines, and their genetic clustering. At field level, the genotypes like CARI-1, IIHR-7 and IIHR-500A had shown resistant to bacterial wilt and recorded good yield. Further, 245 SSRs markers used for screening had shown good amplification, however only 37 primers were polymorphic, and microsatellite allele sizes were determined at their 74 loci. The average polymorphic information content was 0.315 and it ranged from 0.239 to 0.375. The SSR emh21J12 shown 170 bp band for the resistant genotypes and 160 bp band for the susceptible ones. Another SSR emf01K16 gave the unique banding pattern in resistant genotypes at 250 bp and susceptible at 260 bp. Dendrogram analysis classified these six genotypes into three main clusters. Cluster I consists of IIHR-575, IIHR-108 and IIHR-500A, where IIHR-500S was solitary. The cluster II consists Rampur local and IIHR-7 whereas, cluster III was solitary comprising CARI-1. It was revealed that the co-dominant markers such as SSR proved to be high effective tool in discriminating between resistant and susceptible genotypes, and classifying these genotypes based on genetic diversity. Hence, the field and molecular markers screening reveals that eggplant genotypes IIHR-7, IIHR-500A and CARI-1 are resistant to bacterial wilt and these resistant genotypes can be used for further breeding programme, and the identified SSR markers can be useful tool for marker assisted selection for bacterial wilt in eggplant.

Authors: GHOSH A , SINGH R K , SINGH O N , SAMAL P
Published: February 2023

A field experiment was conducted on weed management in aerobic rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivation during dry season in 2013, 2014 and 2015. Efficacy of different weed management tools was compared for their weed suppression ability in the cultivation of an improved rice variety, Sahbhagi Dhan at aerobic soil situations. The study showed highest (around 60%) weed control efficiency (WCE) and lowest (around 15%) weed index (WI) with intensive weed management (IWM), which was, however, found an uneconomical option on account of higher cost of weed management. The most economically viable weed management tool was the combined practice of the application of pre-emergence weedicide, Butachlor @ 2.5 l/ha after three days of sowing followed by manual weeding at 4th week stage of crop growth accounting around 35% WCE and 22.12% WI. Grain yield was recorded significantly higher (3.70 - 3.89 t/ha) with IWM followed by 3.61 - 3.62 t/ha with twice manual weeding. However, combined practice of pre-emergence weedicide application followed by manual weeding, although produced comparatively less grain yield of 3.47 - 3.50 t/ha, resulted in higher net return of Rupees 15250.0 and B:C ratio of 1.48 for the lowest cost of weed management (Rupees 6075.0). Thus, the study could suggest the application of pre-emergence weedicide supplemented with one manual weeding as the efficient weed management tool that could effectively control weed population inaerobic rice cultivation.
Is Dating Dead? Modern Dating Among Emerging Adults in Croatia
Authors: Šutić Lucija , Jelić Margareta , Krnić Ana
Published: February 2023

Traditionally, a romantic relationship starts with two people going on dates and developing emotional and then physical closeness. However, social developments and social media have begun to change that. Therefore, the main aim of our qualitative study was to outline modern dating scripts and forms of casual sexual relationships among Croatian emerging adults, and to identify the needs they fulfill. We conducted four focus groups with young people aged 18 to 25, of whom some were unemployed, some employed and some were university students. The results suggest that emerging adults in Croatia equally choose the traditional dating script and modern casual relationships, such as open relationship, friendship with benefits, fuck buddy, booty call, and one-night stand. Long-term relationships are seen as a step before marriage or cohabitation, and some young people try to avoid them until their career and other life circumstances are stable enough. In that sense, casual relationships can be satisfying, at least temporarily. However, they can also be confusing because different people seem to define them in different ways and, accordingly, have different expectations. The present study broadens our understanding of romantic relationships in emerging adulthood, and as one of the first Croatian studies on this topic, makes an important contribution to the field of personal relationships. It can serve not only as a reference for future studies but also as a base for developing prevention programmes that strengthen romantic competence and develop communication skills for emerging adults.

Keberadaan Indonesia sebagai Negara hukum memberikan konsekuensi mengedepankan dan melindungi Hak Asasi Manusia yang telah melekat dan tidak dapat dipisahkan karena keberadaan Negara hukum itu sendiri. Penerapan hukuman mati di Indonesia masih menjadi pro kontra di tengah maraknya kasus kekerasan seksual. Berdasarkan polemik tersebut penelitian ini berfokus untuk mengkaji mengenai apakah pidana mati dalam kasus dalam putusan tersebut benar melanggar HAM atau justru sebaliknya. Dalam putusan tersebut menyatakan bahwa terdakwa dijatuhi hukuman mati, karena didasarkan oleh analisis yuridis dan pertimbangan hakim.

Extrajudicial killing merupakan pembunuhan yang dilakukan aparat negara di luar keputusan pengadilan. Aparat kepolisian sebagai aparatur negara dalam menegakkan hukum memiliki kewenangan menembak dengan senjata api. Namun, seringkali dalam menjalankan tugasnya aparat kepolisian justru melakukan extrajudicial killing. Tindakan extrajudicial killing merupakan pelanggaran atas hak atas hidup yang tidak dapat dikurangi dalam keadaan apapun dan pelanggaran atas Asas Praduga Tak Bersalah. Adapun hasil yang diperoleh dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa tindakan extrajudicial killing merupakan pelanggaran HAM berat yang telah diatur dalam peraturan perundang-undangan dan dokumen internasional. Pertanggungjawaban tindakan extrajudicial killing merupakan kewajiban negara dalam melindungi hak-hak asasi warga negaranya.

Authors: Rahman Kazi , Lee Grace , Vine Kristina , Atkinson Amba-Rose , Tong Michael , Matthews Veronica
Published: February 2023

This rapid review investigated the effects of climate change on health and health services in northern NSW—a known ‘hotspot’ for natural disasters—over the next 10-20 years. It included 92 peer-reviewed articles and 9 grey literature documents, with 17% focused on Northern NSW. Climate change will cause both an increase in average temperatures and in extreme weather events and natural disasters. Impacts particularly affecting Northern NSW are expected to include increases and exacerbations of: mental illness; infectious diseases, including those transmitted by mosquitoes, water and food; heat-related illnesses; chronic diseases including respiratory and cardiac conditions; injuries; and mortality—with vulnerable groups being most affected. Demand for health services will increase, but there will also be disruptions to medication supply and service availability. A whole-of-system approach will be needed to address these issues. There are numerous gaps in the research evidence and a lack of predictive modelling and robust locally relevant data.

Study of Educational Problems Based on Aspects of Equity, Efficiency, Quality, and Relevance
Authors: Miftakhul Firman Ferdiansyah Efendi
Published: February 2023

This research is a qualitative descriptive study that aims to describe educational problems based on four aspects, namely equity, efficiency, quality, and relevance. The research was conducted at SMAN 1 Sumberpucung, Malang Regency. Data collection was done by interview, observation, and documentation methods. Data triangulation was carried out based on data obtained from the three methods which verify and complement each other. Data analysis was carried out using the Miles and Huberman method, namely the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that at SMAN 1 Sumberpucung there were several problems, both in terms of equity, efficiency, quality, and relevance. In the aspect of equity, there are several problems, namely, (a) at first there were problems in recruiting prospective students who excel, (b) there were students who withdrew from school, and (c) the implementation of remedial measures was not in accordance with the difficulties experienced by students. The problem in the efficiency aspect is that students with low abilities do not get special services. In terms of quality, schools still do not have a separate laboratory. And in the aspect of relevance, the learning carried out still does not use a scientific approach.

The 2018 PISA results recommend increasing learning achievement by improving teaching quality and learning climate. Responding to these recommendations, it is necessary to improve the quality of teaching and student learning climate, one of which is applying blended learning. This pre-experimental study aims to determine the increased conceptual understanding of mathematics through blended learning using Google Classroom. This study used one group pretest-posttest design, and data were collected through a test of conceptual understanding of mathematics. This research involved 14 junior high school students. Descriptive statistic effect size and inferential t-tests are used in analyzing research data. The research results show a difference in the average score in conceptual understanding of mathematics before and after applying Blended learning using Google Classroom. In other words, it is empirically proven that conceptual understanding of mathematics can be improved through Blended learning using Google Classroom with a magnitude of effect increase of 76%. In comparison, 24% were influenced by other factors.

Saliency Detection from Subitizing Processing
Authors: Figueroa-Flores Carola
Published: February 2023

Most of the saliency methods are evaluated for their ability to generate saliency maps, and not for their functionality in a complete vision pipeline, for instance, image classification or salient object subitizing. In this work, we introduce saliency subitizing as the weak supervision. This task is inspired by the ability of people to quickly and accurately identify the number of items within the subitizing range (e.g., 1 to 4 different types of things). This means that the subitizing information will tell us the number of featured objects in a given image. To this end, we propose a saliency subitizing process (SSP) as a first approximation to learn saliency detection, without the need for any unsupervised methods or some random seeds. We conduct extensive experiments on two benchmark datasets (Toronto and SID4VAM). The experimental results show that our method outperforms other weakly supervised methods and even performs comparable to some fully supervised methods as a first approximation.
Vaginal Birth after Caesarean (VBAC)
Authors: Joseph Nggada Benjamin
Published: February 2023

The rising rate of caesarean section has implications in the reproductive performance of a woman and increases the likelihood of complications during repeat operations, whether they are planned or performed on an emergency basis. A successful vaginal delivery after caesarean is associated with increased maternal satisfaction, reduced caesarean section rate, and appears to be cost effective. There is a need for careful selection of women that are willing to attempt vaginal birth after caesarean with a clear set of local protocols to increase overall success rate, reduce litigation and improve neonatal outcome. The benefits and risks of planned vaginal birth after caesarean and elective repeat caesarean section should be discussed in detail with the woman during antenatal care and reemphasized at admission to the labour ward. A decision to embark on VBAC should be free from coercion with full informed consent as the bedrock for such a decision. Facilities offering vaginal birth in women with prior caesarean delivery should be equipped with 24-hour standby emergency caesarean section capability. The intrapartum care should be carefully tailored to meet the woman’s need with support from the health care team. Every obstetrics unit should debrief women after delivery irrespective of the outcome and should conduct regular audits to improve the care of women with previous caesarean sections.
