Este artículo discute la formación humana de la juventud bahiana, los rumbos de las políticas públicas para la formación profesional de la clase obrera, en el modo de producción capitalista, para debatir el proyecto histórico y los fundamentos que orientan el currículo de la Red Pública de Bahía, las posibilidades de superación en la lucha entre proyectos antagónicos, peleadas en las escuelas. Preguntamos ¿qué teorías, sus contradicciones y posibilidades de superación subsidian el currículo y el trabajo pedagógico en la formación profesional en Bahia, frente al proyecto de emancipación de la clase obrera? El objetivo es analizar en el currículo, la labor pedagógica del docente en la educación técnico profesional de nivel medio, los aportes en la escolarización de la juventud, y la emancipación de la clase trabajadora. Es una investigación descriptiva y los procedimientos de investigación son análisis de contenido de las fuentes documentales. La base teórica es la que explica el capital, escolarización profesional y proyecto histórico de emancipación de los obreros. Concluimos que, en condiciones objetivas adversas, en medio de contradicciones, los fundamentos curriculares de la teoría pedagógica histórico-crítica referenciada en el proyecto histórico de superación del capitalismo, son ejes estructurantes para la formación de los jóvenes.
Arab EFL Learners’ Writing Errors: A Contrastive Error Analysis Study
Authors: Abdelmohsen Moustafa Mohamed
Published: October 2022

The present study delved into the impact of students' L1 (Arabic) morphosyntactic system on their L2 writing skills; the influence of Arabic socio-cultural and educational context (where students learn L2) on students’ writing; students’ attitude towards L2 writing and EFL teachers’ perceptions and interpretations of students' writing difficulties. The study was conducted in 8 public higher education institutions in Oman. The participants of the study were 598 Omani EFL students who studied at The General Foundation Program and 54 EFL teachers. The study was underpinned by two theories: transfer of learning theory (Thorndike & Woodworth, 1901) and interlanguage theory (Selinker, 1972). The conceptual framework was arrived at by employing two models, contrastive analysis (CA) and error analysis (EA). A mixed-methods approach was used to collect quantitative and qualitative data employing a questionnaire, semi-structured interview, and a writing test (essay writing). The findings revealed that students’ intralingual (L2 rules) errors were larger than their interlingual (L1 interference) errors. It was also found that students had a positive attitude towards L2 learning. Further, the teachers’ interviews confirmed that teachers were cognizant of students’ writing errors but they could not identify and determine the sources of those errors.

This study aims at revitalization of the Nubian language which is at the risk of morbidity. The Nubian language is spoken in the Northern Sudan and Sothern Egypt. The Nubian who live in the area speak two dialects of the language: Matoki (Andandi) and Fadicca. The researchers collected the date by using two tools; semi-structured interviews and focus group. The participants are members of social groups, Facebook and WhatsApp. The findings of the study reveal that the Nubian language, despite being in danger of extinction, is still being used and the possibility of maintaining and is high= since the Nubians are aware of its importance in constructing their identity and maintain their heritage. The study is significant as it contributes to the ethnic diversity in the Sudan and the nation solidarity which may help in prevailing peace all around the vast country of multilingual and multicultural groups. It also adds to the academia in field of sociolinguistics.
Economic Growth Effects of the Interaction of Natural Resources and Institutional Quality by Source: Empirical Evidence from Africa
Authors: Bah Chernor Momodu , Dumbuya Unisa
Published: October 2022

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between natural resources by source, institutional quality by source, and economic growth in Africa using multiple co-integration analysis, the ARDL technique, and VECM granger causality. The findings show that various resources contribute to economic growth in different ways. Mineral rents (MR) have a negative impact on growth, while forest rents (FR) have a beneficial impact. The findings also show that forest rents contribute more to growth in the rule-of-law (ROL) model than in the market openness (MO) model. Among the institutional quality (IQ) variables, the rule of law has the most significant impact on the continent's economic growth. Furthermore, when IQ was added as an interaction variable in the models, both resources (MR and FR) ended up contributing favourably to development. The study recommends that resource-rich countries must specifically concentrate on improving the rule of law since robust outcomes are generated when interacted with natural resources.

Published: October 2022

This study established the contribution effect of the input-output model in studying the interconnectedness of industries in Nigeria’s economy, with the aim of channelling resources and policy framework to building industries with strong backward and forward linkages that can spur and stimulate industrial growth. The data was sourced from the NBS database of production statistics, labour statistics, and foreign trade statistics, as well as administrative, enterprise, and household surveys. The entire productive sector was aggregated into thirteen sectors with similar features and according to international industrial standard classification. The table constructed shows that the coefficient values have changed over the years since the last review. There are indications of slight positive changes in innovation, technology, and business activities that have sprouted up over the years. Furthermore, there were no negative values in the entire production matrix. The results of the impact analysis show that electricity and water have a strong production linkage and their positive impacts cut across income, value-added, and with a relatively lower impact on job creation from direct, indirect, and induced effects. It is undeniably one of the economy's major driving sectors, while agriculture, lodging and food service, transportation and storage, professional, arts, administrative, and public sectors (labour-intensive sectors) are at the forefront of employment and income generation. The manufacturing industry contributes less to per capita income and employment. This is a signal that the nation is still lacking behind in terms of industrial development, which is the key or bedrock of development and employment generation in developed nations of the world.

Roof inspections are simply inspections to determine the roof integrity, durability, and long life of roofs before they need to be replaced. Besides, the hazards presented by these features bring problems to roof inspectors as they face difficulty in performing rooftop inspection due to its high roof structure. The purpose of this study is to access defective buildings with visual inspection with the help of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), to classify roof building conditions using the CSP1 Matrix as a method of assessment and ultimately acquire the results of the roof condition between the two main chambers of Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia. The two main chambers were elected in the UTHM area namely the Sultan Ibrahim Hall (DSI) and Tungku Mahkota Ismail Hall (DTMI). The main equipment used is UAV while Condition Survey Protocol 1(CSP1) Matrix is a method for building inspections to analyze the assessment of building roof conditions and to identify the significance of defective buildings detected for each main hall. From the analysis, there are 20 and 21 defects for DSI and DTMI that have been recorded, respectively. The overall roof condition is calculated where for DSI is 2.3 (Green) while DTMI is 4.29 (Green) which indicates that the state of the building for DSI and DTMI is in a fair condition (score 1-4). The total defects recorded in these studies for both halls are 41 defects.

Published: October 2022

Cyclone separators are suitable to remove particles in extreme conditions with high pressure and temperature during the gas-solid separation process. The important performance of cyclone separators is determined by the separation efficiency and pressure drop. The inlet parameters including the number of inlets, inlet geometry and inlet gas velocity affects the performance of cyclone separators. In this paper, the experimental investigation has been conducted to determine the effects of dual inlet to the separation efficiency of cyclone separators. The cyclone separator was fabricated using the acrylic materials to accommodate the flow observation and trajectories inside the chamber. The experiments were conducted at 9, 11 and 13 m/s of inlet velocity using three particle sizes at 277.5, 42.5 and 625 um. Results showed that as the particle sizes increases, the separation efficiency also increases up to 94.5% for 625 um particles. The findings indicate that the dual inlet cyclone separators increases the performance of cyclone separators especially to remove fly ash in the biomass processing plant and other gas-solid process.

Published: October 2022

The recycled high density polyethylene (rHDPE)/ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA)/ eggshell composites using poly(vinylchloride)-maleic anhydride (PVC-MA) as coupling agent was compounded using Brabender internal mixer. The results showed that the compatibilization of rHDPE/EVA blends was enhanced by the addition of 6 phr of PVC-MA. Furthermore, the tensile, water absorption resistance, and interfacial adhesion properties were studied. Tensile properties such as tensile strength and Young’s modulus were improved, while the elongation at break was reduced by the addition of PVC-MA. The water absorption resistance was improved upon PVC-MA addition to the composites.

Published: October 2022

Previous parallel computing implementations for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) focused extensively on Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC). Parallel programming was incorporated into the previous generation of the Raspberry Pi Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC). However, it yielded poor computing performance due to the processing power limits of the time. This research focuses on utilising two Raspberry Pi 3 B+ with increased processing capability compared to its previous generation to tackle fluid flow problems using numerical analysis and CFD. Parallel computing elements such as Secure Shell (SSH) and the Message Passing Interface (MPI) protocol were implemented for Advanced RISC Machine (ARM) processors. The parallel network was then validated by a processor call attempt and core execution test. Parallelisation of the processors enables the study of fluid flow and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) problems, such as validation of the NACA 0012 airfoil and an additional case of the Laplace equation for computing the temperature distribution via the parallel system. The experimental NACA 0012 data was validated using the parallel system, which can simulate the airfoil's physics. Each core was enabled and tested to determine the system's performance in parallelising the execution of various programming algorithms such as pi calculation. A comparison of the execution time for the NACA 0012 validation case yielded a parallelisation efficiency above 50%. The case studies confirmed the Raspberry Pi 3 B+'s successful parallelisation independent of external software and machines, making it a self-sustaining compact demonstration cluster of parallel computers for CFD.

Published: October 2022

Soft clay often causes difficulty in construction operations with regards to strength and low hardness properties. Therefore, the need for soil stabilization is crucial in construction to ensure the stability of the soil strength and stiffness for each building to be built. This research was carried out to study the stabilization of clay in Batu Pahat using additional materials namely sodium silicate liquid and biomass silica powder. Soft clay samples were collected from the Research Centre for Soft Soils of Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia. The result shows that the liquid limit of the soil decreases while plastic limit increases with the addition of sodium silicate and biomass silica. As a result, the plasticity index reduces with the increment of both stabilizer's content. The strength increases at as early as 3 days after stabilization and constantly increases from 7 to 28 days curing period. The results of the unconfined compression strength test showed that the optimum amount of this stabilization process for the soil sample was three and nine percents of sodium silicate and biomass silica stabilizers, respectively. Additionally, the voids were filled with a stabilizing substance during the SEM testing. Cementation product was detected via the SEM test as a result of the stabilizer given to treated samples. The EDAX test established that the appearance of the Calcium element in the treated sample is a result of the stabilizer's chemical composition. This study demonstrates how biomass Silica significantly affected the increase in soil strength by creating cementation in the soft clay structure. Furthermore, sodium silicate plays a role in increasing soil strength, largely by acting as a binder between soil particles.
The Influence of Limiters on Davis-Yee and Harten-Yee TVD Schemes

Published: October 2022

TVD schemes have many selections of limiters, but the recommendation of limiters for specific cases is not available in the literature. This study focuses on incorporating two flux limiters as the extension of the TVD schemes proposed by Harten-Yee and Davis-Yee and extends the test case on external flows, blunt-body. The method used in this study is Harten-Yee Upwind TVD and Davis-Yee Symmetric TVD scheme with different limiter functions to simulate cases for two-dimensional compressible flow. The results show that all the limiter functions can capture shock waves when the flow passes through the geometry at Mach number . The flow features such as bow shock, oblique shock, shock wave reflection, interaction, and expansion wave can all be captured in the case of the bump in a channel and wedge. While in the case of the external supersonic flow passing through the blunt-body, the presence of a bow shock was captured. We discovered that Davis-Yee limiter number 2 performs significantly better than other proposed Davis-Yee and Harten-Yee limiters for the case in this study. Therefore, the Davis-Yee Upwind TVD method is recommended to be applied for the identical case on the expansion of this study
Optimisation of Solid Fuel In-furnace Blending for an Opposed-firing Utility Boiler: A Numerical Analysis
Authors: Mohammad Nurizat Rahman
Published: October 2022

Continuous research on the clean and effective use of coal is still necessary as coal will continue to play a key role in global energy supply for the foreseeable future. Hence, in the current study, the optimisation of in-furnace coal blending for one of Malaysia's opposed-firing utility boilers was numerically executed on the basis of hydrodynamics and combustion characteristics. The predicted FEGT from the numerical model was validated against the actual FEGT from the coal-fired power plant, revealing a difference of less than 10 %. Four (4) coal blended cases were tested, which included both bituminous (bit) and sub-bituminous (sub-bit) coals. The findings demonstrate that due to the difference in density between bit and sub-bit coals, the hydrodynamic performance is predicted to significantly improve when sub-bit coal is injected at the bottom burner as opposed to the upper burner. In terms of kinetics, the higher volatile matter (VM) of sub-bit coal in contrast to bit coal has been postulated to release a substantial amount of volatiles and improve the combustibility of bit coal. Furthermore, enhanced oxygen release from sub-bit coal volatiles can aggravate the gas-solid heterogeneous reaction during bit coal char combustion. As a result of the bottom burner's high temperature, it has been discovered that introducing sub-bit coals into those burners speeds up VM release and char combustion, which increases the rate of combustion. Thus, when combustibility rises, the peak temperature position moves downward, reducing the likelihood of delayed combustion and, consequently, the risk of heat exchanger pendant failure and ash deposition. In a furnace with a relatively long coal residence time, a considerable fraction (>20 %) of high gross calorific value (GCV) sub-bit coal (>5800 kcal/kg) is predicted to produce two peak flame temperatures exceeding 1600°C owing to the likelihood of enhanced char which created delayed combustion. Therefore, a furnace condition with a comparatively shorter coal residence time may aid in the rapid evacuation of residual char from the combustion/burner zone and minimise the potential for delayed combustion. Nonetheless, residual char escape may exacerbate the emission problem by releasing considerable unburned carbon. Overall, the current numerical model has the potential to be a reliable and cost-effective tool for investigating the combustion characteristics of coal blends in a power plant boiler.
Bingöl Karakoçan Ayrım Güzergâhında Yavaşlama Ön Uyarı ve Uyarı Yatay Trafik İşaretlerinin Taşıt İşletme Maliyetlerine Etkileri
Authors: Güzel İhsan
Published: October 2022

Ülkemizde bitümlü sıcak karışım (BSK) kaplamalı dönel kavşaklar trafik kaza riskini azaltmak için yatay yavaşlama ve ön uyarı (YÖU) çizgileriyle işaretlenmektedir. Belirli kalınlık ve genişlikte olan bu çizgiler kaplamanın Uluslararası Düzgünsüzlük İndeksi’ni (IRI) değiştirerek taşıt işletme maliyetlerini artırmaktır. Kavşaklarda bu maliyet değişimi Bingöl Karakoçan Ayrım güzergâhının BSK’lı 26,80 kilometrelik kesiminde, mevcut altı adet dönel kavşakta araştırılmıştır. Kavşakların statik seviye ölçüm metoduna göre hesaplanan IRI, güzergâh IRI’ni 0,042985 m/km artırmıştır. Güzergâhta yıllık ortalama günlük trafikte (YOGT) en fazla sayıda olan otomobillere 2021/Aralık ayında yapılan anket sonuçlarına göre IRI artışının faiz, genel giderler ve ekip maliyeti hariç otomobillerin hareketiyle ilgili işletme maliyetlerini yıllık yaklaşık 59,482 TL artırdığı hesaplanmıştır. Bu güzergâhta günlük 2581 adet otomobil için hesaplanan maliyet diğer taşıtlarda göz önüne alındığında, dönel kavşaklarda taşıt işletme maliyeti artışı daha fazla olacaktır. Bu nedenle IRI artışına neden olan YÖU çizgilerinin kalınlıklarının azaltılması ve kavşağa giriş hızına göre sayılarının belirlenmesinin maliyetlerde önemli azalmalar sağlayacağı tespit edilmiştir.

Du droit des exilés au droit d’asile : la naissance du droit d’asile moderne
Authors: Ghermani Naïma
Published: October 2022

Le droit d’asile est souvent présenté par l’historiographie contemporaine comme une invention de la Révolution française. Cette idée était particulièrement novatrice quand on sait que le droit d’asile a été au Moyen Âge et à l’époque moderne une immunité offerte à des délinquants et des criminels en fuite. Cet article propose d’interroger cette transformation du droit d’asile d’un droit mettant à l’abri des délinquants des poursuites judiciaires, à un droit protégeant les innocents persécutés. Le tournant s’opère au XVIIe siècle quand des flux massifs de réfugiés demandent l’asile dans plusieurs territoires protestants. S’élabore alors dans l’Empire allemand, haut lieu du Refuge, un jus exulum qui s’interroge sur la légitimité d’accueillir les réfugiés.

En France, le « droit d’asile » – entendu comme l’hospitalité et la protection octroyées par l’État à un étranger fuyant son pays « par un cas de force majeur » (Firmin Laferrière) – a été abondamment discuté tout au long du XIXe siècle. Réminiscence, sans doute, « du droit des gens », mais aussi héritage de la Constitution montagnarde de l’an I, première à proclamer que la France « donne asile » à certaines catégories d’étrangers, et enfin conséquence des arrivées aux frontières d’exilés politiques. Cette contribution enquête sur le « droit d’asile » qui, à défaut de renvoyer à un droit internationalement débattu ou reconnu, n’a cessé d’être employé dans le débat public en France autour des réfugiés étrangers. C’est en croisant plusieurs matériaux – archives parlementaires, corpus de circulaires administratives, opuscules juridiques et historiques, mais aussi articles de presse – que l’on mettra en évidence les temps forts de ce débat au XIXe siècle.
Pratique de l’asile et théories de l’exil à Rotterdam autour de la Révocation
Authors: Bost Hubert
Published: October 2022

Dans les années 1680, Rotterdam a joué un rôle déterminant dans l’accueil des exilés huguenots. Le ministère diaconal s’efforce de porter secours aux frères et sœurs dans la foi qui sont dans le besoin. Mais, avec la Révocation, l’afflux de réfugiés rend nécessaire l’organisation de secours d’une autre dimension. Rotterdam présente en outre la particularité d’avoir accueilli, en 1681, deux réfugiés huguenots qui prennent position par rapport à la question de l’asile : le pasteur Pierre Jurieu et le philosophe Pierre Bayle. Jurieu présente la France comme le lieu de la captivité que les fidèles doivent quitter en rejoignant l’asile des Provinces-Unies. Bayle cherche les principes permettant aux hommes de coexister malgré leurs divergences confessionnelles : la liberté de conscience ne peut être garantie que par un pouvoir neutre sur le plan religieux.
Banditismo e diritto d’asilo nella Repubblica di Venezia (secoli XVII-XVIII)
Authors: Povolo Claudio
Published: October 2022

Il saggio si sofferma sulle relazioni tra la pena del bando e il diritto di asilo. Alla persona bandita da una comunità o da un territorio era per lo più concessa una sorta di immunità al di fuori dei confini da cui era stata estromessa. A partire dal Cinquecento i poteri sovrani estesero la loro giurisdizione, rendendo assai più severa la pena del bando e la possibilità che il bandito potesse essere ucciso anche al di fuori dei confini territoriali. Dopo la pace di Westfalia e la creazione di una comunità di stati, ciascuno dei quali ambiva a possedere una propria sovranità, una nuova concezione del diritto d’asilo cominciò ad estendersi in tutta Europa. Nella Repubblica di Venezia il dibattito intorno all’immunità dei banditi emerse solo nella seconda metà del Settecento, rivelando comunque incertezze e contraddizioni.
L’État toscan et les présences étrangères sous la régence des Habsbourg-Lorraine (1737-1765) : protéger, rejeter, contrôler
Authors: Cifonelli Hugues
Published: October 2022

L’arrivée des Habsbourg-Lorraine en Toscane marque un tournant dans la politique de régulation des étrangers. Dès 1737, la surveillance des étrangers est cruciale du fait du contexte politique intérieur et de la situation délicate du grand-duché sur la scène internationale. Ainsi, une législation et des procédures administratives se perfectionnent et rendent possible une meilleure connaissance des étrangers de passage. L’encadrement des présences étrangères ne se limite pas à la surveillance ou à l’exclusion. Il doit être analysé à l’aune des réformes entreprises par la régence pour réaffirmer le pouvoir souverain du prince et relancer l’économie toscane. Par la tutelle des intérêts des étrangers résidents (décédés ou vulnérables), l’État entend écarter le risque de spoliation. Il contribue à définir un cadre économique plus sûr, condition nécessaire au retour de la prospérité économique.
Un asilo mediterraneo nel lungo Risorgimento. Malta, la libertà di stampa, l’esilio
Authors: Pulvirenti Chiara Maria
Published: October 2022

Negli anni del lungo Risorgimento l’arcipelago di Malta diventa l’asilo prediletto da numerosi esuli politici italiani provenienti soprattutto dal Regno delle Due Sicilie. La vicinanza geografica alla penisola, la vocazione al commercio marittimo, la sostanziale tolleranza del governo britannico nei confronti dell’immigrazione e la libertà di stampa rappresentano le ragioni decisive perché i cospiratori la scelgano come rifugio. Un’isola in larga parte abitata da una popolazione analfabeta, in cui imperano da secoli principi conservatori di matrice cattolica, diventa così un laboratorio di sperimentazione di nuovi linguaggi e di pratiche politiche moderne, utilizzate paradossalmente non soltanto dai sostenitori del liberalismo, ma dai più agguerriti supporters delle monarchie assolute e del papa.
L’amnistie comme mode d’administration de l’exil ?
Authors: Brice Catherine
Published: October 2022

S’intéresser à l’amnistie dans le cadre de recherches portant sur l’administration de l’exil se justifie à plusieurs titres. En effet, dans le cas d’une amnistie – ou des grâces –, le contrôle de l’exil est, dans une certaine mesure, renforcé puisqu’il intéresse en même temps, au plan administratif et politique, le pays de départ et le pays d’arrivée. Le contrôle est, de fait, renforcé dans la mesure où, on le verra, il ne s’agit pas seulement de compter, d’individualiser les exilés, mais aussi de les qualifier puisque certaines amnisties sont assorties de conditions et que l’exilé est jugé, considéré, dans un ensemble de paramètres qui peuvent être à la fois d’ordre politique et judiciaire. L’hypothèse examinée ici, à partir du cas des États pontificaux entre 1830 et 1850, postule qu’il s’agit là d’un processus cumulatif, mettant en jeu toute une série d’autorités et d’administrations, du pays de départ comme du pays d’accueil. En définitive, les amnisties, supposées pardonner et réintégrer les individus dans le corps social, s’avérèrent, dans les années 1831 à 1849, un efficace moyen de contrôle et de « fichage » politique, les critères des amnisties ayant changé d’une date à l’autre. Un peu comme une nasse se resserrant sur les opposants, les différents critères se cumulent.
«Esuli in patria»: gli italiani non regnicoli tra asilo e cittadinanza (1848-1870)
Authors: Cattane Michele
Published: October 2022

Dopo le rivoluzioni del 1848, il Regno di Sardegna divenne luogo di asilo per gli esuli politici da tutta la penisola italiana: un ruolo ereditato dopo il 1859-1861 dal Regno d’Italia, che continuò ad accogliere emigrati dalle cosiddette «province non ancora annesse» come il Veneto e il Lazio. Il saggio approfondisce la situazione di questi rifugiati, definiti «italiani non regnicoli»: considerati italiani per nazionalità, e dotati di speciali privilegi, essi restavano comunque stranieri davanti alla legge. In un’epoca di scarsa codificazione del diritto di asilo, conferire loro «in massa» la cittadinanza appariva come la più efficace forma di protezione, tanto sul piano internazionale che su quello interno. Le numerose iniziative della Sinistra liberale – in particolare di Benedetto Cairoli – non approdarono a risultati concreti, ma rappresentarono una delle più significative campagne per i diritti civili nel giovane Stato italiano.

Background

In the critical care setting, early recognition of clinical decompensation is imperative to trigger prompt intervention and optimize patient outcomes.

Local Problem

In a 20-bed surgical intensive care unit of an urban academic medical center, cases of clinical deterioration that highlighted opportunities to improve the communication process prompted a reassessment of health care provider roles and responsibilities.

Methods

A quality improvement initiative was implemented to enhance communication among intensive care unit clinical staff members, improve the timeliness of reporting clinical deterioration, and ensure implementation of timely, appropriate interventions to eliminate adverse outcomes.

Interventions

Nurses were surveyed to determine their perceptions of communication and collaboration among providers. Education was provided that focused on familiarizing nurses with clinical conditions necessitating direct notification of the attending surgical intensivist and included review of a case in which escalation of care did not occur. Multidisciplinary rounds were expanded to engage night-shift nurses in clinical discussions and decision-making. A template was created to document episodes of escalation in the electronic health record.

Results

Since implementation of the quality improvement interventions, no incidents of patient harm or death related to failure to escalate have occurred to date. A total of 16 episodes of escalation for clinical deterioration were documented in the electronic health record. Most nurses reported an increased level of confidence in understanding when to escalate concerns about clinical deterioration.

Conclusion

Implementing a multimodal program to empower nurses to escalate clinical concerns directly to the attending physician eliminated adverse events related to failure to escalate.

Dietary diversity is considered a key indicator in assessing access, utilization and quality of diet and lack of dietary diversity is strongly associated with an inadequate intake of essential micronutrients. A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the dietary diversity among adolescents aged 11-13 in the city of Colombo. A sample of 634 subjects was recruited using the multistage stratified cluster sampling technique. A three-day diet diary was used to collect types and quantities of food items consumed. The dietary diversity score was determined based on Food and Agriculture Organization nine (9) food groups and the food variety score was calculated by a simple count of the number of food items consumed in a single day. Socio-demographic data were gathered using a general questionnaire and height, weight and waist circumference were measured. Household food security status data were gathered using the United States Department of Agriculture 18-item questionnaire. The mean (±SD) dietary diversity score was 4.36 (±1.28) and the mean food variety score was 9.69 (±2.82). Dietary diversity score and food variety score were high among boys and adolescents in national schools who were food secure. Percentages of adolescents who consumed Vitamin A and Iron rich foods were 41.1 % and 78.2 % respectively. The dietary diversity of adolescents aged 11-13 years in the city of Colombo is adequate and categorized as medium dietary diversity.
Assessment of Knowledge and Practices regarding Iron Deficiency Anaemia among Pregnant Women in Kattankudy D.S. Division of Batticaloa District, Sri Lanka
Authors: Roshana M. R. , Mahendran T.
Published: October 2022

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and practices regarding anaemia among pregnant women in the Kattankudy D.S. division of Batticaloa district, Sri Lanka. A total of 352 pregnant women were enrolled on the study using a non-random sampling method. A semi-structured interview schedule was used to collect data. The descriptive analysis was used to study the sociodemographic and baseline data of the participants. Friedman’s test was used to determine the relationship between study variables. Baseline data indicated that 59.9% of the women were multigravida, and the majority of the pregnant women had pregnancy spacing for more than three years. The haemoglobin (Hb) level of the women showed that the majority of them (80.1%) had ≥11 g d/L (normal), and only 19.9% of them had <11 g d/L (anaemic). Most of the women i.e., 226 (64.2 %), knew pregnancy as the cause of anaemia, and the majority of respondents were unaware of the causes of anaemia like repeated pregnancy at a short interval i.e., <2 years (210 i.e., 59.7%), poor dietary habits (183 i.e., 52.0%), hookworm infection (210 i.e., 59.7%) and history of heavy menstrual flow (197 i.e., 56.0%). There was a significant relationship between pregnant women’s educational level and their knowledge regarding the causes of anaemia, according to the Friedman test (χ2 = 905.321, p<0.05). The majority of pregnant women were following good practices for the prevention of anaemia. The study indicated that pregnant women had poor knowledge of the causes of anaemia, and intervention is required to reduce the prevalence of anaemia during pregnancy.
