Clínica jurídica de interés público de Unisangil: origen y direccionamiento
Authors: López Zamora Sergio Andrés
Published: February 2021

Es conocido que las Clínicas Jurídicas configuran una nueva metodología de enseñanza y aprendizaje, tendiente a prestar servicios jurídicos que permitan un acceso a la justicia, en compromiso con un interés público a nivel regional y nacional. Bajo esta presentación, es indispensable que una institución de educación superior de alto impacto como lo es Unisangil – Sede Chiquinquirá, haga parte de estos nuevos enfoques educativos, más aún cuando de por medio se puede reforzar el espectro jurídico del país. Aunado a lo anterior, dado que muchas veces la teoría no sale de las aulas de clase, es importante mostrar al discente un trabajo práctico, con el cual conozca cómo se materializa el ejercicio del derecho. Así pues, con el presente producto se busca, por una parte, evidenciar algunos apartes de los estudios previos que dieron trámite al proyecto inicial de la Clínica Jurídica; y, por otra parte, exaltar el direccionamiento a seguir, a la luz de los objetivos, metodología y demás factores que hoy conforman y desarrollan el proyecto, en el sentido de hacer parte de las nuevas tendencias educativas del derecho, desde la academia, hacia la práctica, bajo la modalidad del aprendizaje constructivista y dentro del contexto de la formación investigativa.
Tendencias de investigación sobre educación sexual en algunos países de América Latina y Europa
Authors: Rodríguez Castillo María Camila
Published: February 2021

Sexualidad es un término amplio que abarca diferentes facetas del ser humano, pero también es un término estigmatizado que se presenta como una barrera para la educación sexual. El objetivo de este artículo es describir las tendencias de investigación sobre educación sexual en algunos países de América Latina y Europa, con base en cincuenta artículos publicados en las bases de datos ProQuest, Taylor & Francis y ScienceDirect entre el año 2000 y 2020. Con los resultados, se identificaron cinco tendencias de investigación sobre educación sexual en estos países: políticas públicas y programas nacionales para la educación sexual; educación sexual en contextos educativos; actores involucrados en la educación sexual escolar; enfoque de género e inclusión en la educación sexual; y percepciones/conocimientos en torno a la sexualidad. A partir de ellas, se concluyó que la tendencia «Educación sexual en contextos educativos» resulta ser la más usada en las investigaciones consultadas, toda vez que tiene como objeto de estudio evaluar los programas desarrollados, proponer estrategias pedagógicas de intervención e investigar las problemáticas existentes en la enseñanza de la sexualidad y la necesidad de fomentar la educación sexual en este contexto.
Métodos de análisis químico para la detección de la 4-metilmetcatinona (mefedrina), desde una perspectiva farmacológica y toxicológica
Authors: Ángulo Florez Diego Hernando , Cipagauta Esquivel Edna Carolina
Published: February 2021

En los últimos 25 años en Europa, han surgido nuevas drogas sintéticas derivadas de la planta de khat (Catha edulis), denominadas Catinonas, que es un alcaloide muy potente análogo a las anfetaminas. Entre los derivados de la catinona se encuentra la mefedrina (4-metilmetcatinona (4-MMC)), que tiene efectos farmacológicos equivalentes a los reportados por el éxtasis, las anfetaminas o la cocaína. El presente artículo presenta una revisión exhaustiva de la literatura referente a los principales métodos de detección de la 4-MMC conocida como mefedrona, además de presentar las propiedades fisicoquímicas, farmacológicas, toxicológicas y los principales efectos nocivos para la salud. Es de particular interés y preocupación que este medicamento derivado de la efedrina provenga de una planta y se considere legal en algunos países de Europa occidental. Ha sido ampliamente utilizado en los últimos años con fines recreativos en varios países de Europa, América del Norte y la mayoría de los países de América del Sur debido a su facilidad de compra y por ser una nueva alternativa al éxtasis y la cocaína. Los efectos de la 4-MMC están asociados con efectos estimulantes, como aumento de la concentración, estimulación psicomotora, reducción del apetito e insomnio. Estudios recientes han descrito que el uso compulsivo de mefedrona es principalmente un fenómeno juvenil y entre los efectos secundarios más peligrosos se encuentran la adicción intensa, los cambios bruscos de la temperatura corporal y la frecuencia cardíaca, las alucinaciones, la psicosis y la muerte por sobredosis. Con base en lo anterior, es esencial que las revisiones de la literatura se centren en la química, la farmacología, la toxicología y el análisis de riesgos para la mefedrona, para encontrar estrategias para la determinación rápida y mitigar sus efectos adversos en los adictos, así como evitar el consumo.
Filosofía en el derecho
Authors: Zuleta Marín Jaime
Published: February 2021

Quiero, como inicio de este libro, explicar el título del mismo y la finalidad que con él busco.El derecho necesita de la filosofía, pues esta es la que le da la calidad de derecho, ya que sin ella nos encontraríamos ante un conjunto de normas muertas que se impondrían a la comunidad por fuerza, mas no por convicción. La filosofía en el derecho es el espíritu del mismo, y no la podemos reducir a unas narraciones históricas sobre lo que han pensado algunos acerca de los sistemas que deben imponerse a la comunidad humana.La filosofía en el derecho se justifica porque es búsqueda de Principios y Valores que dieron, dan y darán vida a las leyes.

Published: February 2021

Este libro permite conocer, de manera holística, el desarrollo de los estudios sociales con referencia a los acontecimientos más importantes que se han dado en lo pertinente a los asuntos internacionales como una ciencia que permite comprender los fenómenos sociales y sus efectos en el sistema internacional. Bajo esta perspectiva, el libro pretende, de manera académica, desarrollar un análisis perspectivo sobre cómo se fue planteando un sistema internacional contemporáneo a partir del mismo proceso que se inicia con el westfalianismo de 1648, pasando por las posturas liberales, las respuestas realistas del siglo pasado y los asuntos de la política contemporánea. De igual forma, es producto de un trabajo investigativo formativo en el que se toman aportes de distintos autores de las ciencias sociales, especialmente los que se refieren a las relaciones y las políticas internacionales.
Clima escolar: dialéctica de la vivencia educativa
Authors: Acuña González Sandra Liliana , Rodríguez Buitrago Anderson Geovanny , Vega Torres Daniel Roberto
Published: February 2021

El clima escolar se presenta como un aspecto fundamental para comprender la manera en que se vive en las instituciones educativas. En ese sentido, el objetivo de este estudio es comprender la realidad de la convivencia educativa en diferentes regiones de Colombia mediante la participación y observación de los agentes educativos que experimentan las problemáticas y las oportunidades que en dicho espacio se generan. En primer lugar, se reflexiona sobre las características teóricas y conceptuales para entender el clima escolar como parte de los estudios de instituciones educativas. La metodología utilizada aplica la organización de comunidades de investigación, en donde la cooperación de docentes y estudiantes junto a la reflexión de la educación en contexto contribuyen a consolidar los análisis narrativos y estadísticos utilizados mediante encuestas y observaciones participantes. Luego, se exponen los resultados de los datos construidos desde el ejercicio de investigación en red, en donde se perciben los problemas de convivencia entre estudiantes y de ellos con los docentes. De manera general, se perciben varios hechos que conllevan a contradicciones que se ejercen dentro de las instituciones educativas: los ajustes de las pasiones y expectativas individuales frente a las normas institucionales, se expresa una problemática entre la competitividad que se espera desarrollar en los individuos frente a la integralidad y fraternidad de lo educativo. Los antagonismos de la autonomía y lo delegado de la educación en una sociedad desigual y, por último, los problemas de violencia y de satisfacción que se encuentran en la percepción de los estudiantes.

Published: February 2021

Penyakit pada ibu hamil telah menjadi suatu penyakit yang cukup banyak diderita oleh masyarakat. Menurut data kementrian kesehatan pada tahun 2016 tercatat 305.000 ibu meninggal per 100.000 orang yang menjadikan angka kematian ibu hamil (AKI) masih sangat tinggi. Peningkatan penyakit pada ibu hamil yang semakin tinggi ini terjadi karena kurangnya informasi yang didapatkan oleh ibu hamil. Banyak ibu hamil yang menyepelekan penyakit-penyakit ringan seperti pusing, mual atau gatal-gatal sehingga membuatnya malas untuk berkonsultasi ke dokter ataupun ahlinya, hal ini tentu saja merugikan ibu hamil tersebut yang mengakibatkan terjadinya kerancuan diagnosis. Untuk memudahkan ibu hamil mendapatkan informasi tentang penyakit ibu hamil perlu adanya suatu aplikasi sistem pakar yang berfungsi seperti seorang ahli yang dapat melakukan diagnosis terhadap penyakit pada ibu hamil. Aplikasi sistem pakar ini melalui alur inferensi forward chainning yaitu dengan memasukkan gejala dan selanjutnya akan dilacak kedepan dengan menggunakan aturan IF_THEN, kemudian akan diperoleh kesimpulan. Kesimpulan tersebut akan lebih akurat lagi dengan metode Certainty faktor yaitu menambahkan nilai kepastian dari seorang ahli atau pakar dan seorang pasien atau user. Jika gejala yang dimasukkan oleh pasien atau user tidak memenuhi aturan certainty faktor maka akan menggunakan metode teorema bayes. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem pakar ini dapat digunakan untuk mendiagnosa penyakit pada ibu hamil.

Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a common allergic skin disease that affects individuals subjected to different antigen exposure conditions and significantly impacts the quality of life of those affected. Numerous studies have demonstrated that probiotics suppress inflammation through immunomodulatory effects. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of the probiotic Bifidobacterium longum 51A as a preventive treatment for ACD using an oxazolone-induced murine model. We demonstrated that B. longum 51A exerted a prophylactic effect on oxazolone-induced ACD-like skin inflammation via reductions in ear and dermal thickness and leucocyte infiltration. The administration of inactivated B. longum 51A did not affect oxazolone-induced ACD-like skin inflammation, suggesting that the bacteria must be alive to be effective. Given that B. longum 51A is an acetate producer, we treated mice with acetate intraperitoneally, which also prevented ear and dermal thickening. Moreover, the tissue levels of the inflammatory cytokines and chemokines interleukin (IL)-10, IL-33, tumour necrosis factor-α, chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2/monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 5/RANTES were significantly reduced after probiotic treatment, but only IL-33 and IL-10 were reduced when the mice were treated with acetate. These results show that B. longum 51A exerted a potential prophylactic effect on skin inflammation and that acetate represents one potential mechanism. However, other factors are likely involved since these two treatments do not yield the same results.

Authors: Liu Fei , Zhang Qian
Published: February 2021

The library is an important platform for readers to acquire information, and also shoulders the responsibility to cultivate readers’ information literacy. How to enhance information literacy is a public service issue that warrants prompt solution. In this study, we establish a reciprocal teaching mode composed of four elements: teacher, student, learning content and interaction-supporting platform, based on the reciprocal teaching theory, in combination with the characteristics of information literacy training in information-based libraries, uses virtual reality (VR) technology to produce verisimilar teaching resources and build a virtual reading environment and a virtual reading community, to enable readers to discuss, read and evaluate under a dynamic reading mode. Meanwhile, a new reciprocal teaching technique of “Rain Classroom” is also introduced innovatively. We first conduct a quantitative evaluation on information literacy using fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method, then verify and correct the evaluation results using data mining technology, so that objective and accurate results can be obtained for the evaluation of readers’ information literacy. After the implementation of this library learning mode, through a questionnaire survey and analysis, it is concluded that the proposed mode can help the library spread knowledge, improve the effect of information literacy.
The Incentive System of the Subject Librarians in the University Library
Authors: Wang Chunping , Song Lili
Published: February 2021

Based on the principal-agent theory, we introduce the specific task ability, construct the optimization model of the incentive system of the subject librarians, and discuss how to design the incentive system to achieve "win-win". According to the best incentive system, the variables are selected and measured by real data. An empirical model is established based on the econometrics theory, and the related theoretical conclusions are tested according to the empirical results. It is found that when the information is asymmetric, the best incentive system is composed of the optimal fixed income and the optimal value share. The higher the level of ability, managers should strengthen incentives and the subject librarians will increase the intensity of their efforts; the lower risk preference and the higher random selection, managers should weaken incentives and the subject librarians will reduce their efforts.
TermFrame: A Systematic Approach to Karst Terminology
Authors: Vintar Špela , Stepišnik Uroš
Published: February 2021

We describe a systematic and data-driven approach to karst terminology where knowledge from different textual sources is structured into a comprehensive multilingual knowledge representation. The approach is based on a domain model which is constructed in line with the frame-based approach to terminology and the analytical geomorphological method of describing karst phenomena. The domain model serves as a basis for annotating definitions and aggregating the information obtained from different definitions into a knowledge network. We provide examples of visual knowledge representations and demonstrate the advantages of a systematic and interdisciplinary approach to domain knowledge.

Potential of the Pentacam in Screening for Narrow Angles in Patients with Chronic Angle-Closure Glaucoma
Authors: Lartey Seth , Mohammed Abdul-Kabir , Appiagyei Emmanuel , Akuffo Kojo
Published: February 2021

Background: Chronic angle-closure glaucoma (CACG) is a visually destructive disease. Effective management of CACG requires identifying eyes with narrow angle.

Objective: To compare pentacam with gonioscopy in detecting narrow angles in eyes with CACG.

Method: We enrolled 101 eyes with glaucoma. Gonioscopy was performed on all eyes. Using Shaffer’s grading, subjects were classified into angle closure and open angle. Anterior chamber volume (ACV) and anterior chamber depth (ACD) were measured with the pentacam. Receiver operating curve was constructed for each parameter and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated.

Results: Ten eyes (9.9%) were classified as angle closure on gonioscopy. To detect narrow angles, ACV (AUC 0.956; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.894–0.987) performed similar to ACD (AUC=0.930, p=0.33). Using a cutoff of 102 mm3 , ACV had 100% sensitivity and 88.5% specificity for detecting narrow angles in CACG patients. With an ACV cutoff of 102 mm3 , the PPV for detecting angle closure was 48.9% (95% CI, 34.8–68.2), while the NPV was 100% (94.1– 100%), using 9.9% prevalence of angle closure from this study.

Conclusion: ACV and ACD measured by the pentacam have the potential to determine narrow angles in eyes with CACG.

Olive Schreiner, War and Pacifism
Authors: Stanley Liz
Published: February 2021

Some new primary sources make an important contribution to re-thinking Olive Schreiner’s ideas about war and pacifism and are discussed in depth and their analytic reverberations explored. Many previously unknown Schreiner letters and postcards to her niece Lyndall (Dot) Schreiner have become available; Schreiner’s open letters, essays and allegories written over the Great War period have been collected and published; and the manuscripts of her unfinished treatise on war, conscientious objection and pacifism, The Dawn of Civilisation, have been edited in a completed version. These sources throw much light on the interconnections between Schreiner’s personal relationships, writing, feminism and pacifism. Taken together, they show that over the period of the Great War she was led to a new conviction that the aspects of human nature responsible for violence, conquest and killing were intractable and could be changed only in the distant future.

A comparative study of ocean surface interannual variability in Northern Tanzania and the Northern Kenya Bank
Authors: Manyilizu Majuto , Sagero Philip , Halo Issufo , Mahongo Shigalla B.
Published: February 2021

The livelihoods of most residents of Tanga (Northern Tanzania) and Malindi (Northern Kenya), rely strongly on fishing activities in the East African shelf region. Thus, understanding variations in sea surface temperature (SST) and its related parameters such as thermocline depths and upper ocean circulation are crucial. This study applies a regional model to understand interannual spatial relationships between ocean circulation and SST off Northern Tanzania and on the Northern Kenya Bank. The results indicate slight differences in variations off the Northern Tanzanian shelf region and the Northern Kenya Bank. Such small variations might have local impacts on the human population through influencing primary productivity and fisheries. The coastal waters off Malindi indicate stronger variations, particularly in 1997 (cold SST) and 1998 (warm SST), than those off Tanga region. The SST anomalies seem to be associated with thermocline and sea surface height (SSH) off Malindi, while off Tanga they relate only to SSH. This information provides further understanding of parameters that may affect fishing activities in these regions and can be used for planning and management processes.

Published: February 2021

A socio-economic assessment was carried out at Amu and Shela in Lamu County and Ngomeni in Kilifi County on the coast of Kenya. The aim was to establish fisher perspectives on the livelihood impacts of changes in upwelling associated with the East African Coastal Current, and adaptations in fishing practices to determine the vulnerability, resilience and adaptation options for fisheries dependent communities in this upwelling region. Primary data and information were collected through direct observation, semi-structured interviews, key informant interviews and oral histories. Descriptive and non-parametric analysis was conducted for quantitative data and content analysis for qualitative data. The study covered 92 respondents out of which 90 were male. About 82.5 percent of the respondents had attained different levels of primary school education and below, and were therefore highly vulnerable to climate change impacts. Furthermore, 80.4 percent of the respondents were aged between 20 years and 49 years with a mean age of 40 years, thus falling into the economically active age category. In terms of livelihoods, fishing and fishing-related activities formed the primary livelihoods at the three study sites with fishing being the main occupation for 93 percent of the respondents. Fishing effort was higher during the north-east monsoon season. Fifty two percent of the respondents targeted small pelagic species. The main changes observed included increased fishing effort and a decline in the quantity of fish caught per fisher, and changes in the composition of fish species. Changes in the composition of fish species have further been compounded by a decline in rainfall over time, sea level rise, irregular wind patterns and increased temperatures. The decline in fish catch further led to a general decline in income and welfare. The climatic changes increased vulnerability of the fishing communities.
Biophysical modelling of coastal upwelling variability and circulation along the Tanzanian and Kenyan coasts
Authors: Halo Issufo , Sagero Philip , Manyilizu Majuto , Mahongo Shigalla B.
Published: February 2021

Ocean circulation, upwelling phenomena and chlorophyll-a concentrations were investigated within the framework of numerical model simulations with 1/12° nested horizontal grid-size, in the tropical western Indian Ocean, along the coasts of Tanzania and Kenya. Ekman driven upwelling exhibited high levels of spatial and temporal variability in the region, characterized by a more vigorous occurrence/intensification during the Northeast than the Southwest Monsoon season. A similar trend was observed for chlorophyll-a distribution, but with an additional strong contribution during the inter-monsoon period from March to April. Trend analysis of a SST-derived coastal upwelling index (CUI) computed over the Pemba Channel and offshore of the East African Coastal Current (EACC), for 24 years (1990 - 2013), revealed a general linear relation of the form CUI(yr) = 2.4x10-7yr – 285, with a steady small annual increase of the upwelling phenomena by 0.0024/year ≃ 4% during the whole period of the simulation, which could be attributed to documented increasing trends of wind intensity and water volume transport in the region. The CUI exhibited the two most dominant peaks of variabilities on the range of annual and semi-annual timescales. The wind-stress southward component and the easting/westing veering of the northward EACC at 6°S revealed that these parameters were moderate and significantly correlated with the CUI (r = - 0.53 and 0.52, p<0.05) respectively, further suggesting its intensification during the Northeast Monsoon season.

La educación actual está marcada por un proceso de actualización tecnológica, siendo la realidad aumentada (RA) una de las tecnologías con mayor proyección en el ámbito educativo. Se trata de una innovadora técnica que genera una realidad intermedia entre el entorno físico y el mundo virtual, a través de la conversión de objetos cotidianos a elementos digitales en 3D, permitiendo a sus usuarios interactuar con ellos a través de un dispositivo móvil. Esta tecnología permite adaptarse a cualquier situación, como aquellos momentos en los que un docente tiene que sustituir a otro durante la jornada escolar. El objetivo del presente estudio se centra en conocer la influencia que ejerce en el alumnado de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria la aplicación de una experiencia innovadora basada en la utilización de la RA como herramienta dinamizadora de las sesiones en las que el profesor titular de una asignatura se encuentra ausente y tiene que ser suplido por otro docente. Para ello se ha seguido un diseño no experimental de tipo descriptivo y correlacional, a través de un método cuantitativo. Se ha aplicado un cuestionario ad hoc en una muestra de 210 alumnos, de un centro educativo de Ceuta (España). Los resultados reflejan que la puesta en práctica de la experiencia ha contribuido al alcance de valores positivos en la motivación y participación discente, consecución de objetivos, competencia digital, clima de aula y todo ello con escasas dificultades en los discentes, hallándose diferencias estadísticamente significativas en cuanto al género y curso del alumnado.

Health care providers in Canada are expected to take care of people from a variety of cultural backgrounds, and it is difficult for health care providers to deeply understand the lived experiences of some individuals to provide them with culturally sensitive care. Syrian refugees comprise one such group of newcomers to Canada. This phenomenological study aimed to uncover the meaning of the lived experiences of Syrian refugees using Giorgi’s (2009) method. Seven participants’ descriptions were viewed through the lens of the social determinants of health model. Seven essences of the general structural description or the meaning Syrian refugees gave to their experiences of living in Canada were synthesized. Syrian refugees live paradoxical experiences that are both rewarding and less rewarding when viewed through the lens of the social determinants of health (social support, environment, culture, education, health services, employment, and income). These experiences have influenced their health in both positive and negative ways. This study highlights the need for more culturally sensitive health care interventions and assistance for Syrian refugees/newcomers in Canada. As a next step, an action research study involving Syrian refugees as co-researchers may help address the social determinant of health risks in this population.

intended postgraduate degree certificate.

Aim:  To investigate challenges faced by postgraduate nursing students, develop strategies for overcoming these challenges, and assessing face and content validity for the proposed strategies.

Methods: The study was carried out at the Faculty of Nursing at Ain Shams University using a methodological design. The sample consisted of two groups, namely postgraduate nursing students including all master and doctorate postgraduate students in different specialties at the last semester of their studies during the academic year 2017/2018; their total number was 236 students and a Jury group (25 professors and assistant professors from different nursing faculties). Three tools were used to achieve the aim of this study. They were a self-administered questionnaire for students to investigate challenges faced during their studies, an opinionnaire sheet to examine the face and content validity of the developed questionnaire, and an opinionnaire sheet to validate the proposed strategies.

Results: The student-related challenges revealed that the psychological-related challenges had the highest mean (2.5±0.4) among the student-related challenges, while the financial-related had the lowest mean (2.2±0.5). The administrative and academic challenges were the most challenging, with a mean (2.2±0.5) for the institutional-related challenges.

Conclusion: Based on the identified challenges and their prioritization, overcoming strategies were developed and were found to have high levels of the face, and content validity by experts' opinions and Content Validity Indicator CVI was (0.99). The study recommended that the developed strategies should be presented to and discussed with postgraduate students in the study setting to improve and ensure their acceptability.

This research was conducted to assist the school in terms of selection of creative students, especially those using Kurikulum 2013 or better known as K-13. We conclude that the subjective application of student achievement with the 2006 curriculum is more commonly referred to as Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan (KTSP) has been widely circulated schools. The limits given in the decision support system of selecting student achievement include the determination of criteria and using Profile Matching method which leads to the determination of GAP value, the smaller the gap value the greater the chance to be selected as a student achievement. In designing applications researchers use using tools such as UML ( Unified Modeling Language) in order to make it easier to move the concept of a system designed into the form of the program.

Moringa oleifera is used worldwide for its different pharmacological actions. In present study, the gastroprotective and antioxidant effects of M. oleifera were investigated in aspirin induced peptic ulcer in adult male mice. For that purpose, sixty healthy adult male mice were divided equally but randomlyinto 6 groups. Blood samples were drawn at 0 and 7 days of treatment. At the termination of experiment, the mice were slaughtered and stomach tissues were excised for histopathological examination. Statistical differences among treatment groups were determined by Duncan’s Multiple Range test at 5% level of significance. The results suggested that aspirin induced gastric mucosal damage significantly (P<0.05) increased the level of total oxidant status and malondialdehyde, while significantly (P<0.05) decreased catalase and total antioxidant capacity. It was concluded that M. oleifera leaves’ powder at the dose rate of 600 mg/kg is as efficacious as omeprazole by exhibiting gastroprotective and antioxidant effects against aspirin induced gastric damage in mice.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to determine women’s beliefs as influencing factors in the utilization of antenatal services.

Methodology: The quantitative cross sectional survey was conducted in both rural and urban areas of three townships of Chin State. The multi-stage sampling method was used to recruit 350 women who had given birth within the past year. They were interviewed using structured questionnaires relating to their socio-demographic characteristics, beliefs about the utilization of antenatal services, and the situation of received antenatal care. The X2 values and odd ratio with a 95% of CI were calculated to find out women’s beliefs as influencing factors in the utilization of antenatal services.

Findings: Among the 350 participants, the number who received antenatal care at least one time and four times were 303 (86.6%) and 222 (63.4%) respectively. There were only 98 (28.0%) who received antenatal care in first trimester. The number of women who showed awareness of life threatening risks of pregnancy was 135 (38.6%) whilst positive attitudes towards the effectiveness of antenatal care and accessibility of health care staff were 170 (48.6%) and 63 (18.0%) respectively. Women’s beliefs about the risks of pregnancy, effectiveness of antenatal care and accessibility of health care staff for antenatal care were statistically associated with the situation of receiving antenatal care at least four times and care in the first trimester but not associated with the situation of receiving at least one time.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Women in Chin State received late first antenatal care and lack of regular follow-up because of their beliefs about the utilization of antenatal services. Effective health education activities are needed to raise awareness about the utilization of antenatal services.
