Authors: Sudha Rameshwari K. , Arockia selvi P.
Published: June 2023

Liver ailment is one of the severe health issues all over the sphere. Hepatic damage or failure due to consumption and breathing of hepatotoxin is increasing worldwide. Rifampicin high dosage can cause severe injury to the liver. Today publics wish herbal drugs due to its high efficiency and absence of side effects. Herbal medicines are available for each and every disorder ranging from diabetes to rejuvenators. These facts promoted us to select a medicinal plant Glinus lotoides for the present study which is known as ‘Siruserupadai’ in Tamil. Amid the later ponder, ethanolic extricate was chosen for the anti-hepatotoxicity action; it has maximum numbers of phytoconstituents (Glycosides, saponins, proteins, alkaloids, and flavanoids). Five groups of animals were taken for the test named as control, rifampicin treated group, Silymarin treated group (10 mg/Kg), Ethanolic Extract of Glinus lotoides Linn. (EEGL) treated group (200 mg/Kg), EEGL treated group 400 mg/kg. Rifampicin effectively and particularly ties to RNA polymerase; it represses the amalgamation of all shapes of RNA. It induces fatty liver and finally cirrhosis which is exited by increment the action of serum biological catalysts like SGPT, SGOT and alkaline phosphatase. The hepatoprotective activities was appeared by bringing down the serum biochemical parameters (enzymes and bilirubin) within the rifampicin inebriated rats pre-treated with ethanolic extricate at 200 and 400 mg/kg. The prophylactic impact is reasonably comparable to that of Silymarin, suggesting the EEGL can be potential source of hepatoprotectives.

The aqueous extract of Lavandula stoechas (AqLs) is employed as a diabetic cure in Eastern Moroccan traditional medicine. The aim of this study was to confirm and search for the antidiabetic mechanisms of this plant. The goal of this research is to look into the in vitro antioxidant activity of L. stoechas’s aqueous extract which was analyzed by using two different techniques; 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate (DPPH), and β-carotene bleaching assay, with an IC50 = 0.031 ± 0.02 mg/mL and an IC50 = 94.33 ± 12.5 µg/ml respectively. Furthermore, the polyphenolic and flavonoid concentrations were calculated at 146.71 ± 0.53 mg GAE/mg of AqLs, and 721,21 ± 0,21 µg QE/mg of AqLs respectively. Besides, the in vitro research of glucose consumption by Peripheral glucose consumption reveals that the combination of this extract, plus insulin, enhances the activity of insulin and improves glucose utilization by the hemidiaphragm with 166.89 ± 23.56 mg/g/h. Finally, the in vitro hemoglobin glycosylation test validated L. stoechas antidiabetic efficacy with activity equal to 48.94 ± 3.67 mg/mL compared to the gallic acid. Consequently, the aqueous extract of L. stoechas was discovered to have promising antidiabetic and antioxidant properties in this research, which can be considered for more biological exploration.

Authors: Balasubramanian Arul , Ramalingam Kothai , Pachiappan Sudhakar
Published: June 2023

This study was intended to assess the effect of Gymnema sylvestre leaf extract on the AMPK-GLUT4 mediated signalling pathway on insulin resistance in polycystic ovarian syndrome-induced rats. For the induction of PCOS in rats, 1 mg/kg of letrozole was given orally for 21 days, after that metformin (300 mg/kg), Gymnema sylvestre leaf extract (200 mg/kg, and 400 mg/kg p. o.) were administered for further 28 days. Letrozole-induced PCOS rats illustrated significant estrus irregularity, and sex hormonal abnormality, and developed insulin resistance as indicated by increased fasting glucose levels, an increased rate of glucose clearance, and also decreases in GLUT4 and AMPK mRNA expression in ovarian cells. Ovarian histology in PCOS rats also showed many follicular cysts, atretic follicles, and the absence of the corpus luteum. These changes were significantly reversed by the treatment of G. sylvestre in a dose-dependent manner. It might be mediated through its insulin resistance modulating property by the activation of AMPK & GLUT4 expression on ovarian endometrial cells.

Published: June 2023

Infertility is a burning problem all over the globe. Many couples yearn to have babies in their life. Infertility is very common issue faced by many couples from years. They use conventional type of therapy for many years and then approach Ayurveda. Vandhyatva is term used in Ayurveda for sterility. This sterility comes due to many factors occurring inside and outside of the body. Rutu, Kshetra, Ambu and Beej are the Garbhautpadkar bhava (factors important for fertilization and implantation) which are immensely important for normal fertilization and attachment of the foetus in the womb. Disorder in any of the above factor can cause infertility. Kshetra means the site where the foetus will reside. It should be normal and healthy for its survival. Derangement or pathology in it may cause failure to conceive. There are various problems which causes pathology in uterus such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibrosis and atrophy are a few of them. In this case report, we have a 32 years old female patient with small uterus and an irregular menstruation. The cause for her infertility was long term use of hormonal therapy for contraception purpose. She was advised to do Panchkarma for eight days and herbomineral formulations were prescribed to her for five months. After 3 months, she got her regular menses. USG pelvis before and after treatment were advised to her and positive results were obtained with Ayurvedic treatment.
A Comprehensive Review on Plethora: Etiopathogenesis, Signs, Symptoms, and Complications from the perspective of the Unani Medicine
Authors: Ahmer S. M. , Fahad Ataullah , Javed Ali S.
Published: June 2023

The concept of Imtila (plethora) is defined vividly and scientifically in Unani classical literature. Imtila (plethora) is the most common humoral disease and has multiple etiology and clinical manifestations. The signs and symptoms associated with Imtila (plethora) are headaches, clogged eyes, pulsatile conduits, flushing of the face, puffiness of the face, inability to speak, heavy head and dark and dense urine, etc. Long-lasting effects of untreated Imtila (plethora) can lead to various co-morbidities, such as Jarayan al-Dam (Haemorrhage), Tashannuj (Convulsion), Sakta (Apoplexy), Falij (Paralysis), Junun (Insanity) Hidhayan (Delirium), Ghashi Imtila’i (Syncope), Ufunat-e-dam (infection in the blood), Dasoomat e Dum (dyslipidemia), etc. Therefore, it is essential to identify the symptoms of Imtila (plethora). Early detection will aid in obtaining urgent medical attention and treatment, which can reduce complications. Unani physicians used various methods to eliminate surplus, harmful, and undigested humour that might have further tainted the humour. Unani physicians prescribed various exercises and regimens in combination with food and drugs to restore the humoral balance of the body. The present review paper systematically emphasizes the proper understanding of Imtila (plethora) to understand its etiopathogenesis, signs, & symptoms, and complications. We have also discussed the course of treatment suggested by Unani physicians considering the physiopathology and clinical characteristics.

Authors: Ahmad Zamir
Published: June 2023

Dermatomycoses are the human’s oldest recognized and reported infections, which are the fastest growing infections of the skin, hair, and nails. These infections are a global concern due to their ever-increasing prevalence of about 25-27 %, high rate of relapse/recurrence, and resistance. The study was conducted in search of safer and more effective natural medicine. The effect of the standard drug, Terbinafine cream as control is compared with the test drug, Unani formulation in the paste form for local application, containing Kaththa (Acacia catechu), Hena (Lawsonia innermis), Mazu (Quercus infectoria), Kibreet (Sulphur), and Suhaga (Borax). The data on the effect of the control and test drugs on the various features of the dermatomycoses shows that the Unani formulation is almost similar to the standard drug in terms of Mycological cure and Clinical cure statistically. Hence, Unani formulation can be used in the treatment of dermatomycoses.

It Takes a Researcher to Know a Researcher: Academic Librarian Perspectives Regarding Skills and Training for Research Data Support in Canada
Authors: Rod Alisa B.
Published: June 2023

Objective – This empirical study aims to contribute qualitative evidence on the perspectives of data-related librarians regarding the necessary skills, education, and training for these roles in the context of Canadian academic libraries. A second aim of this study is to understand the perspectives of data-related librarians regarding the specific role of the MLIS in providing relevant training and education. The definition of a data-related librarian in this study includes any librarian or professional who has a conventional title related to a field of data librarianship (i.e., research data management, data services, GIS, data visualization, data science) or any other librarian or professional whose duties include providing data-related services within an academic institution.
Methods – This study incorporates in-depth qualitative empirical evidence in the form of 12 semi-structured interviews of data-related librarians to investigate first-hand perspectives on the necessary skills required for such positions and the mechanisms for acquiring and maintaining such skills.
Results – The interviews identified four major themes related to the skills required for library-related data services positions, including the perceived importance of experience conducting original research, proficiency in computational coding and quantitative methods, MLIS-related skills such as understanding metadata, and the ability to learn new skills quickly on the job. Overall, the implication of this study regarding the training from MLIS programs concerning data-related librarianship is that although expertise in metadata, documentation, and information management are vital skills for data-related librarians, the MLIS is increasingly less competitive compared with degree programs that offer a greater emphasis on practical experience working with different types of data in a research context and implementing a variety of methodological approaches.
Conclusion – This study demonstrates that an in-depth qualitative portrait of data-related librarians within a national academic ecosystem provides valuable new insights regarding the perceived importance of conducting original empirical research to succeed in these roles.

Published: June 2023

The use of natural fibers as a reinforcing product in the production of compressed earth blocks can be considered as an effective means for the environment and savings. This study presents a prediction a model- and simulation-based approach using artificial neural networks (ANN) to predict tensile strength and compressive strength. of earth-friendly concrete containing different types of natural fibers. A group of data with eight influencing characteristics; cement, fiber, sand, fiber length, fiber tensile strength, clay, silt, age used for model formation and validation were collected from the literature. The output was compressive strength and tensile strength. The combination of root mean square propagation and stochastic propagation gradient descent with the momentum method is used to train the ANN. Using various validation criteria such as coefficient of determination (R), root mean squared error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE), the ANN model was validated and compared to two machine learning (ML) Random Forest (RF) techniques and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP). A sensitivity analysis was also performed to validate the robustness and stability of these models. The experimental results showed that the ANN model performed better than other models and, therefore, it can be used as a suitable approach to predict the compressive strength of environmentally friendly earth concrete.
A relação literária dos leitores e as Humanidades Públicas. Reflexões a partir de um livro-álbum para crianças
Authors: Pereira Cláudia
Published: June 2023

O texto que se apresenta é uma reflexão que parte da análise de um livro-álbum editado a pensar num pré-leitor, A Manta. Uma história aos quadradinhos (de tecido) (Martins e Kono 2010), em que o tema da leitura de objetos se relaciona com a iniciação à leitura literária e dela beneficiando. Indo ao encontro da temática do presente dossiê, o espaço cultural em que a biblioteca pública tem por missão construir-se e que, não uniformemente, pratica como espaço de convívio entre pessoas e livros em que estes são, simultaneamente, trampolins e alvos, modificou-se durante os dois períodos de confinamento entre 2020 e 2021. O contacto com o livro enquanto objeto manipulável que facilita a aproximação ao ato de ler em consonância com a linguagem visual que a arquitetura dos livros infantis contempla com especial cuidado, parece ter obrigado a regressar à audição como sentido primeiro para estes pré-leitores. A nossa leitura deste livro-álbum infantil é um exercício-modelo, que poderá replicar-se em sessões que vão ao encontro das metodologias das Humanidades Públicas, em que, não nos distraindo com o que o texto literário evoca ou sugere, nos fará a ele voltar para nos focarmos no plano que nele nos interessa. No presente caso, foi a atenção dada às histórias sobre ausências várias, que os objetos trazem consigo e que a leitura da literatura presentifica, mesmo na ausência do livro

Authors: Hayat Elvan , Sözen Özden Afet
Published: June 2023

Unemployment is one of the greatest economic and social problems in Turkey, as well as it is in many other countries in the world. Unemployment is often explained by macroeconomic factors. However, demographic and individual characteristics also have an effect on the unemployment duration of individuals, in addition to the macroeconomic factors. The present study aims to find the factors that have an effect on the duration of unemployment of individuals in Turkey with count data regression models. Therefore, the present study examined Poisson Regression (PR) and Negative Binomial Regression (NBR) models, which are used in cases that the dependent variable is count data. The study also aims to determine the model with the best fit to the dataset among the estimated models. In the study, the number of months in which individuals were unemployed was modeled, using the data obtained from the Survey of Income and Living Conditions (SILC) micro dataset of the Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT) in 2019. 62713 people aged 15 and over participated in the SILC, of which 5889 reported that they were unemployed for one month or more. A model with the best fit and with the independent variables of marital status, education status, and general health status was determined among the seven models determined by the forward selection method. It has been determined that the model that best fits the dataset among the predicted models is the NBR model according to the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC).

Enerjide Dışa Bağımlılık Sorunu: Türkiye İçin Ampirik Bir Analiz
Authors: Yalçın Arman Zafer , Dogan Metin
Published: June 2023

Bir enerji kaynağı olarak fosil yakıt, Sanayi Devriminden itibaren üretimin en önemli unsurlarından biri olmuştur. Ancak fosil yakıtların dünyanın her yerinde eşit bir şekilde dağılım göstermediği görülmektedir. Bu durum bazı ülkeleri enerji ihracatçısı durumuna getirirken fosil yakıt kaynağı bulunmayan ülkeleri ise ithalatçı konuma getirmiştir. Yeterli enerji kaynağına sahip olmayan ülkeler üretim miktarını ve toplumsal refah düzeyini yükseltmek için ihtiyaç duydukları enerjiyi dış kaynaklardan tedarik etmek zorundadır. Bu durum enerji sektöründe bağımlılık ilişkilerinin gelişmesine neden olmaktadır. 2022’nin ilk aylarında başlayan Ukrayna-Rusya Savaşının ardından enerji bağımlılığı enerji arz güvenliği açısından bir risk unsuru olarak kabul edilmiştir. Bu yüzden Avrupa Birliği enerji bağımlılığının azaltılması için yenilenebilir enerjiye geçiş, enerji ithalatçısı ülkelerin çeşitlendirilmesi gibi yeni bir stratejiyi hayata geçirmiştir. Yoğun bir biçimde enerji ithalatına bağımlı bir ülke olan Türkiye’nin de enerji bağımlılığı konusunda adım atması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışma kapsamında yapılan ampirik analizden elde edilen sonuçlarda bu sonucu desteklemektedir. Analiz kapsamında yapılan Johansen eşbütünleşme testi sonucunda, 1990-2020 döneminde Türkiye’de birincil enerji arzı ve fosil yakıt tüketimi ile enerji bağımlılığı arasında kısa ve uzun dönemde pozitif bir ilişki vardır. Enerji verimliliği ile enerji bağımlılığı arasında negatif bir ilişki söz konusudur. Analizde yer alan diğer bağımsız değişkenlerden biri olan Gayri Safi Yurtiçi Hasıla ve enerji bağımlılığı arasında beklentinin aksine negatif bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Analizdeki son değişken olan yenilenebilir enerji ve enerji bağımlılığı arasında ise bu model kapsamında bir ilişki kurulamamıştır.

Authors: Timokhin I.Yu. , Anashkina A.A. , Kharakhonov G.A. , Ermolaev Ya.O.
Published: June 2023

The cutting force is an important parameter in control and management of the machining processes. A system for measuring and registering the cutting forces in the process of machining the complex profile ceramic parts for aviation purposes was designed, developed and tested making it possible to measure with reference to the machined area height (to the Z coordinate) on the existing numerical control system. KF5P1-5-200 strain gauges with a full-bridge connection scheme were selected as the deformation sensors. Deformation of the grinding spindle body of a special machine with the SA950S30F4K.01 numerical control exposed to action of the cutting force radial component was assessed, and the zone of maximum stresses was determined, where the strain gauges were installed. The system was calibrated to measure the cutting forces using the developed power frame and the reference dynamometer. Software was created that makes it possible to register and analyze the data obtained, as well as to visualize the process of measuring the cutting forces in real time during the ceramic parts machining. Based on the results of testing the developed system and software, the possibility was established to measure the cutting forces during machining the complex profile ceramic parts, to visualize, register and print the results. Such a system could be used in the scientific research laboratories and pilot production in the ceramic parts machining.
Computational analysis of the absorption and scattering of electromagnetic waves by a single particle of the condensed phase of combustion products of energetic condensed material
Authors: Shostov A.K. , Fedotova K.V. , Kozichev V.V.
Published: June 2023

At present, an important task is to determine the burning rate of energy condensed systems (ECS) with metal additives under non-stationary conditions. At the same time, a promising way to experimentally determine the law of the burning rate is the radio wave microwave method. However, the presence of a significant amount of condensed phase in the combustion products of metallized ECS complicates the tuning of the interference microwave diagnostic method. The article considers the interaction of an incident monochromatic electromagnetic wave with a single particle of the condensed phase in a closed volume without taking into account the influence of the result of the interaction of other particles with the incident wave. A mathematical model has been developed and scattering indicatrices have been obtained for various particle diameters in the range from 10 to 20 micrometers, generated radiation frequencies in the range of 9–15 GHz, and permittivities of condensed-phase particles in the range of 1.6–10. An analysis of the results of a numerical study demonstrates that an increase in the particle size leads to a sharp increase in the intensity of the scattered wave. Changing the frequency of the wave generated by the microwave generator is a priority method for amplifying the intensity of the scattered wave, which makes it possible to detect particles with smaller diameters up to several micrometers.

Authors: Ekemoruah Othuke Beauty , Oghounu Eric A. , Ovwigho Bishop Ochuko
Published: June 2023

The study was premised on the high incidence of marital maladjustment among teachers in the study area. The specific objectives were to explain the joint influence of sex, locations and level of education on marital maladjustment among married teachers, establish the relationship between sex and marital maladjustment, investigate the relationship between locations and marital maladjustment and determine the relationship between the level of formal education and marital maladjustment. Thus, the independent variables were sex, location and formal educational qualifications. In this study, marital maladjustment served as the dependent variable. The sample size was 357 married teachers consisting of both males and females. Data were analysed by use of analysis of variance, correlation and coefficient of determination as well as multiple regression. However, only sex had a significant relationship with marital maladjustment. Thus, it became empirically discernible that marital maladjustment is more related to the sex of the individual teachers than locations and level of formal education.

Published: June 2023

Disenfranchised grief is experienced during bereavement loss and after the loss of something personal, physical, or psychological in which a person lacks societal witnessing, empathy, or validation of their loss. A concept analysis was performed to identify the antecedents, attributes, and consequences of disenfranchised grief. A model case was developed to assist nurses in identifying patterns of disenfranchised grief. Grounded within the Unitary Caring Science paradigm, a new definition of disenfranchised grief was developed. Recommendations framed through the lens of Unitary Caring Science will guide nursing research and practice to enfranchise and humanize the grief experience.

Published: June 2023

Background: Although dental trauma has been reported at various frequencies worldwide, as far as we know there are few data regarding the frequency of dental trauma during the pandemic period. Purpose: This study aims to retrospectively evaluate the data of pediatric patients who were admitted to the Department of Pedodontics in a university hospital due to dental trauma during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Between April 2020 and December 2020, the clinical records regarding admissions to the Harran University Faculty of Dentistry Pedodontics clinic due to dental trauma were examined. The age and gender of the patient, type of trauma, teeth affected by the trauma, and treatment methods applied after the trauma were recorded. The data obtained were analyzed using the independent sample t-test for intergroup comparisons and Pearson chi-square test for categorical variables with the help of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 23.0. Results: The data of 43 patients (27 males and 16 females) aged between 1–13 years (mean age: 9.13±3.20) who were admitted to the clinic with trauma complaints during an eight-month period were evaluated. It was determined that the most common trauma types in the pandemic period were simple crown fracture (25.6%) and subluxation/lateral luxation (23.3%). During the pandemic, 34.9% of all cases were “falling at home”, while “falling at school” was 14.0% (using the Pearson chi-square test). Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic period has affected many aspects of social life as well as the number of patients who were admitted for dental trauma and the causes of trauma. Multicenter studies are needed for more accurate results.

Background: A good biocomposite is a structure that can provide opportunities for cells to adhere, proliferate, and differentiate. It is affected by the characteristics of a material. As bone tissue regeneration occurs, biomaterials must have a high swelling ability and low biodegradability. The high swelling capability will have a larger surface area that can support maximal cell attachment and proliferation on the biocomposite surface, which accelerates the regeneration process of bone defects. Purpose: The study aimed to analyze the characteristics of swelling and biodegradation of bovine amniotic membrane-hydroxyapatite (BAM-HA) biocomposite with various ratios. Methods: The BAM-HA biocomposite with a ratio of 30:70, 35:65, and 40:60 (w/w) was synthesized using a freeze-dry method. The swelling test was done by measuring the initial weight and final weight after being soaked in phosphate-buffered saline for 24 hours and the biodegradation test was done by measuring the initial weight and final weight after being soaked in simulated body fluid for seven days. Results: The swelling percentage of BAM-HA biocomposite at each ratio of 30:70, 35:65, and 40:60 (w/w) was 303.90%, 477.94%, and 574.19%. The biodegradation percentage of BAM-HA biocomposite at each ratio of 30:70, 35:65, and 40:60 was 9.43%, 11.05%, and 12.02%. Conclusion: The BAM-HA biocomposite with a ratio of 40:60 (w/w) has the highest swelling percentage while the 30:70 (w/w) ratio has the lowest percentage of biodegradation.

Published: June 2023

Background: The use of a bone graft in bone regeneration is challenging. Tooth graft material has been used as a bone graft alternative due to its similar composition of organic and inorganic materials close to the bone. Recently, nanotechnology has been used to improve bone graft quality. The osteoconduction rate in the defect area represents the bone graft quality. Purpose: This study aimed to compare the number of osteoblasts using nano-tooth grafts and micro-tooth grafts in Wistar rats. Methods: Wistar rats were divided into six groups: the negative control groups (examined on days 7 and 14), the micro-tooth graft groups (examined on days 7 and 14), and the nano-tooth graft groups (examined on days 7 and 14). The control group received nothing, the micro-tooth group received a micro-size tooth graft, and the nano-tooth graft group received a nano-size tooth graft on the injured femur. Histological observations of osteoblasts were carried out using a light microscope with 1000x magnification. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and least significant difference tests. Results: On day 7, the nano-tooth graft group showed a higher osteoblast number (11.75) than the micro-tooth graft group (7.5) (p = 0.039). There was no significant difference in the micro-tooth graft group compared to the control (p > 0.05). On day 14, the nano-tooth graft group showed a decrease in osteoblast number close to normal (control) (p > 0.05), while the micro-tooth graft group still experienced significant elevation. Conclusion: Nano-tooth grafts accelerate the stimulation of osteoblasts in the first stages of the healing process compared to micro-tooth grafts.

Published: June 2023

Background: Jaw fracture is the most common facial fracture in oral and maxillofacial bone and is usually caused by trauma. The fracture itself could lead to infection due to bone and tissue damage, which is the port of entry for microorganisms. Fracture-related infection (FRI) in the patient discussed in this study manifested as a submandibular abscess. The goals of fracture treatment were achieving the anatomic reduction of the fracture line and regaining acceptable occlusion. There are two methods for treating mandibular fractures: the closed method, also called conservative treatment, and the open method, which requires advanced surgery. Closed method treatment uses a maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) device in order to reduce and immobilize fracture fragments. Treatment of FRI should use a multidisciplinary approach to achieve an outstanding result, such as wound debridement, antimicrobial therapy, and implant retention. Purpose: The purpose of this article is to report a case of neglected mandibular fracture with a submandibular abscess, which was treated with a combination of the closed reduction method and incision drainage. Case: A 25-year-old female visited Nala Husada Hospital because of a submandibular abscess on the neglected mandibular fracture of the right parasymphysis and left corpus. Case management: The case was managed using an arch bar in the mandible and an eyelet in the maxilla while continuing with MMF and an extra oral drainage incision. Conclusion: Combination therapy (MMF and incision drainage) was needed to treat this case because of the occurrence of a submandibular abscess due to a neglected mandibular fracture.

Published: June 2023

Introduction : The child mortality rate in the world was still relatively high, which diarrhea was one of the main causes. In Indonesia, the incidence of diarrhea in children under five years was still quite high. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between socioeconomic factors and the diarrhea in toddlers. Methods : This study used secondary data taken from the 2017 Indonesian Health Demographic Survey dataset. The sample of this study was 13,830 mothers aged 15-49 years. The criteria inclusions were a mother who were completely interviewed, had children less than 5 years, last child and lived together, and was still alive. Data were analyzed using multiple logistic regressions. Results and Discussion : The results showed that there were 14.7% of mothers whose children were less than 5 years old experienced diarrhea recently. Husbands/partners with middle education had 17% higher odds of their children having diarrhea compared to husbands/partners with higher education (AOR=1.17 ; 95%Cl=1.02–1.33 ; p=0.024). Toddlers with very poor (AOR=1.39 ; 95%Cl=1.12–1.73 ; p=0.003), poor (AOR=1.36 ; 95%Cl=1.11–11.67; p=0.004), and rich (AOR=1.24 ; 95%CI=1,01–1.52 ; p=0.039) socioeconomic had 39%, 36%, 24% higher odds for their children to have diarrhea when compared to toddlers with very rich family backgrounds. Conclusion : The husband's/partners with lower education and lower socioeconomic status had higher risk for their children to experience diarrhea. Therefore, improving the welfare and economy of the community as well as improving the quality of education and public knowledge, especially regarding children's health, is urgently needed in efforts to prevent and reduce the diarrhea.
