Determinan Perilaku Seksual Berisiko pada Remaja Makassar (Studi Kasus Santri Darul Arqam Gombara dan SMAN 6)
Authors: Masni Masni , Hamid St. Fatima
Published: July 2018

Masa remaja adalah periode rasa ingin tahu yang besar dan ingin mencoba untuk meniru yang dilihat atau didengar. Rasa ingin tahu membuat remaja lebih permisif untuk melakukan perilaku seksual berisiko, namun diduga bahwa pemahaman  gama akan menjadi faktor pembeda. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui pengaruh pemahaman agama, peran orangtua, peran teman sebaya dan penggunaan media sosial terhadap perilaku seksual berisiko pada remaja dengan membandingkan antara santri Madrasah Aliyah di Pesantren Darul Arqam Gombara dengan siswa SMAN 6 Makassar. Penelitian observasional dengan rancangan cross sectional study, melibatkan 79 santri MA Darul Arqam Gombara yang dipilih secara keseluruhan dan 274 orang siswa SMAN 6 yang dipilih secara proporsional stratified random sampling. Analisis menggunakan analisis univariat dan bivariat dengan uji chi square dan uji phi. Hasil penelitian ditemukan ada pengaruh peran orang tua di MA Darul Arqam (p=0,000, φ=0,403) terhadap perilaku seksual berisiko santri sedangkan siswa di SMAN 6 tidak terdapat pengaruh orang tua (p=0,472) terhadap terhadap perilaku seksual berisiko. Adapun pengaruh pemahaman agama (p=0,027, φ=0,134), teman sebaya (p=0,000, φ=0,339) dan penggunaan media sosial  p=0,035, φ=0,128) di SMAN 6 terhadap perilaku seksual berisiko pada siswa sedangkan santri di MA Darul Arqam menunjukkan tidak ada pengaruh pemahaman agama (0,811), peran teman sebaya (0,702) dan media sosial (0,063) terhadap perilaku seksual berisiko pada santri.

ALMANCADA ÖNEKLİ FİİLLER: “EIN “ ÖNEKİ ÖRNEĞİNDE BİR İNCELEME
Authors: USLU Zeki , HABACI Huriye
Published: July 2018

Önekli fiiller Almancada çok
yaygındır. Ancak yabancı dil olarak Almanca öğretiminde yeterince ele
alınmamaktadır. Bu durum Almanca öğrencilerinin sözcük dağarcığında ve dil
kullanımında sorunlara neden olmaktadır. Gözlemler Almanca öğrencilerinin
çoğunlukla yalnızca temel fiilleri öğrendikleri ve önekli fiillerin
olanaklarından yararlanmadıklarını göstermektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı
Almancadaki önekli fiilleri “ein” öneki örneğinde incelemektir. Almancada
önekli fiiller ikiye ayrılır; öneki ayrılan fiiller ve ayrılmayan fiiller. “Ein”
ayrılan önektir ve birleştiği temel fiilin hem sözdizimsel hem de anlamsal
özelliğini etkilemektedir. Sözdizimsel olarak temel fiilin istemi ve
değerliğinde değişimlere neden olmaktadır. Anlam bakımından temel fiile bir
şeyin içine doğru yönelme, içine girme, içine yerleştirme ve yeni bir duruma
geçme gibi özellikler kazandırmaktadır. “Ein” önekli fiiller bu özelliklerine
göre sınıflandırılmış, Türkçe karşılıkları yazılmış ve örnek tümcelerle
gösterilmiştir. Çekimli bir dil olan Almanca ile sondan eklemeli bir dil olan
Türkçenin yapısal farklılıkları nedeniyle bu tür çalışmaların Almanca
öğrencileri için yararlı olacağı öngörülmektedir.

Authors: Shatte Adrian , Hutchinson Delyse , Teague Samantha
Published: July 2018

Objective This paper aims to synthesise the literature on machine learning (ML) and big data applications for mental health, highlighting current research and applications in practice. Materials and MethodsEight health and information technology research databases were searched using the terms “big data” or “machine learning” and “mental health”. Articles were assessed by two reviewers, and data were extracted on the article’s mental health application, ML technique, data type and size, and study results. Articles were then synthesised via narrative review.ResultsThree hundred papers focusing on the application of ML to mental health were identified. Four main application domains emerged in the literature, including: (i) detection and diagnosis; (ii) prognosis, treatment and support; (iii) public health; and, (iv) research and clinical administration. The most common mental health conditions addressed included depression, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s Disease. ML techniques used included support vector machines, decision trees, neural networks, latent dirichlet allocation, and clustering.Discussion and ConclusionOverall, the application of ML to mental health has demonstrated a range of benefits across the areas of diagnosis, treatment and support, research, and clinical administration. With the majority of studies identified focusing on the detection and diagnosis of mental health conditions, it is evident that there is significant room for the application of ML to improve other areas of psychological functioning. The challenges of using ML techniques are discussed, as well as opportunities to improve and advance the field.

INTEGRATED MEASUREMENT OF STUDENTS' ANALYTICAL THINKING SKILLS AND SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS
Authors: Irwanto Irwanto
Published: July 2018

The learning of chemistry which becomes increasingly complex in the 21 century demands the students to develop a number of cognitive as well as psychomotoric skills throughly. There are skills which students have to master such as analytical thinking skills and science processing skills. However, in reallity, there are many obstacles faced by the teachers to measure those two variables. Therefore, a test which is able to measure the ability of the students both in cognitive and psychomotoric and to optimalize the potency of the students is needed. The objective of this study is to solve the problem of assessment in chemistry learning which only measures thinking skills on lower level and gives little attention on science processing skills of students. The interview results conducted towards chemistry teachers in several SMA/MA in Yogyakarta, show that the teacher have not been fully assessed in correct manner in practical learning procces. On the other hand, one of competencies which teachers must possesed is to develop assessment instruments. Moreover, there are a lot of learning results, instruments used by the teachers which have not been able to measure the students analytical thinking skills and science processing skills effectively and efficiently. A good assessing instrument is an instrument which is able to develop the students‟s ability to solve the problems, to find solutions, as well as to increase their analytical thinking skills through chemistry learning based on science processing skills. Therefore, the measurement of analytical thingking skills and science process skills of the students integratively has to be conducted to embrace the demand of 21 century chemistry learning.

Komunikasi dan Konflik Sosial
Authors: Wuryanta AG. Eka Wenats
Published: July 2018

Dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat, manusia selalu dihadapkan pada dua modus eksistensi. Menurut Fromm, ada dua modus eksistensi manusia, modus pertama adalah kecenderungan untuk “memiliki” (to have) dan modus keduanya adalah kecenderungan untuk “ingin menjadi” (to be).1 Modus pertama mengarah kepada keinginan yang kuat untuk memiliki “to have” sesuatu dalam bentuk material dengan simbol-simbol statusnya, seperti merasa sebagai kelompok eksklusif yang terhormat. Sangat menarik dicermati karena obsesi kepemilikan ini justru lebih kuat pada status dan kekuasaan. Karena itu, nafsu memiliki ini menjadi tidak sehat dan bahkan menimbulkan letupan-letupan konflik di masyarakat.
The VIA Inventory of Strengths, Positive Youth Development, and Moral Education
Authors: Han Hyemin
Published: July 2018

The VIA Inventory of Strengths and the VIA model were originally developed to assess and study 24 character strengths. In this paper, I discuss how the VIA Inventory and its character strength model can be applied to the field of moral education with moral philosophical considerations. First, I review previous factor analysis studies that have consistently reported factors containing candidates for moral virtues, and discuss the systematic structure and organization of VIA character strengths. Second, I discuss several issues related to the VIA model, including a lack of previous studies that directly support the moral justifiability of the model and the presence of a fundamental virtue component required for optimal moral functioning in virtue ethics, phronesis, practical wisdom, in the model. Finally, I propose future directions for research on the VIA model in order to address the aforementioned issues and facilitate the application of the model in moral education.

Coral reefs provide important ecosystem services to coastal communities. The Archipelago of Tinhar?e andBoipeba, Bahia, Brazil, are mostly surrounded by fringing reefs, which have undergone several chronichuman impacts. The objective of the present study was to apply an ecosystem-based approach byanalyzing the ecosystem services provided by the coral reefs of the Archipelago of Tinhar?e and Boipeba inorder to support management actions and serve as a tool for coastal management. Ecosystem serviceswere assessed through the observation of environmental indicators of their occurrence and by using asuite of models from the Integrated Valuation of Environmental Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) softwarecombined with data from the Atlantic and Gulf Rapid Reef Assessment (AGRRA) protocol database. Theservices of greatest occurrence were food provision, habitat maintenance, shoreline protection andrecreation. While the main stressful factors were tourism activities, the absence of a sewage system andfisheries. The coral reefs presented potential for shoreline protection along 50.5% of the islands. Moreover,46.8% of the shoreline would present moderate to high vulnerability in case of coral reef disappearance.The coincidence of areas with high risk of loss in the capacity to provide services and highvulnerability in the scenario of absence of reefs is concerning. Thus, the current model for tourism usedin the area should be altered, as should new management strategies be implemented, which can bringbenefits and avoid reef decline.

Published: July 2018

Background: The study was designed to provide account of etiological agents of urinary tract infection in pediatric patients and the antimicrobial resistance pattern plus biofilm producing profile of the isolates.Methods: The prospective study was conducted in Alka Hospital, Nepal with 353 clean catch urine samples from children. It was obtained during July 2014 to January 2015 which were first cultured by semi-quantitative method, followed by antimicrobial susceptibility testing and biofilm production assay on Congo red agar. Multidrug- resistance, extensively drug- resistance and pandrug- resistance among isolates were considered as per international consensus.Results: Out of 353 samples, 64 (18.13%) showed positive growth in culture, confirming urinary tract infection. E. coli, 44 (68.8%) was the predominant organism followed by Klebsiella spp. 6 (14.1%). Most E. coli were sensitive to amikacin (93.2%) followed by nitrofurantoin (86.4%), and highly resistant to ampicillin (95.5%). Of 64 isolates, 23 (35.93%) were found to be multidrug- resistant strains. Biofilm was produced by 36 (56.25%) isolates.Conclusions: This study showed higher biofilm production and resistance to in-use antibiotics rendering ineffective for empirical use. Regular surveillance of resistance patterns should be done to regulate multidrug- resistant bugs and to ensure effective management of urinary tract infection in children in a tertiary care setups.

Published: July 2018

Pituitary tumors are one of the common brain tumors after gliomas, meningieomas and acoustic schwaanomas. It is commonly encountered in Nepal also as in other countries. Retrospective case series analytical study was done. The cases of pituitary adenoma from 2009 till 2015 were included. Types of pituitary adenoma, surgical technique, postoperative morbidities, mortalities and outcome were analyzed. Total 21 cases of pituitary adenoma were operated. All the cases were diagnosed by MRI, plain and contrast. In addition, thorough hormonal evaluation was done. All the cases were operated via transnasal transsphenoidal (TSS) approach. Microscope was used in all the cases whereas endoscope was used in selected cases. Preoperative lumbar puncture and CSF drain was not done in any case. Postoperative transient nasal CSF leak and diabetes insipidus were the most common surgery related morbidities in almost 50% cases which were totally cured with time. All the patients became asymptomatic and got better after surgery. Postoperative mortality and long term morbidity were nil. Recurrence was noted in one case after 3 years of surgery. Pituitary tumor surgery is safe and rewarding provided it is done carefully with skilled hands. TSS is a good approach with minimal postoperative complications. Better to have both microscope and endoscope for TSS.Nepal Journal of Neuroscience. Vol. 13, No. 2, 2016, Page:63-67

Social Work in Ghana
Authors: Avendal Christel
Published: July 2018

In contemporary Ghana, the traditional system and professional social work operate as two parallel systems within the field of social work. The aim of this study was to investigate if and how the teaching of contemporary professional social work in Ghana takes into account traditional actors and practices. The traditional system includes extended family members and traditional authorities such as chiefs or family heads. It formed the social institution that protected and cared for the vulnerable before (Western) social work was introduced as a formal profession in Ghana. A 10-week ethnographic field study was conducted at the Department of Social Work at the University of Ghana. The study employed a qualitative, social constructionist approach, interpreting the results within a theoretical framework of social world theory. The empirical material consisted of interviews with students and teachers, participant observation at lectures, and various documents. The main findings of the study were that professional social workers and traditional actors can be seen as members of two subworlds – the subworld of professional social workers and the subworld of traditional actors. Students and teachers discuss interventions from the perspective of social workers and traditional actors. Their ability to take different perspectives seems to be crucial for localisation – the process by which social work is made relevant to local culture and traditions. The interviewees’ accounts reveal how localisation is not only about culture, but also about social structures and practical considerations. The poor state of the social work profession in Ghana affects interventions in a profound way.

Authors: Bodor Ralph C. , Melnyk-Poliakiwski Carol
Published: July 2018

Recently, a one-time cohort of graduate-level social work students completed a unique MSW program. The program was delivered in partnership between the Faculty of Social Work, University of Calgary and Blue Quills First Nations College and, of the twenty four graduates; twenty-one were of First Nations or Me´tis ancestry. The program honored traditional knowledge and ways of learning combined with a critical analysis of Western perspectives of social work knowledge. Strong fiscal resources enabled the program to establish a formal support network for the students and to support the development of Indigenous curriculum and programming that encouraged success for the students. The program was fundamentally different than urban on-campus programs while still maintaining graduate level accreditation requirements. This analysis of the program required the use of Indigenous Research Methodology to collect and create an understanding of the program. Instructors commented on the centered, empowered, balanced, and congruent students. The formal and informal, concrete and invisible supports to the students ensured the success of this program and this cohort of students. As one student commented, the program started in ceremony, ended in ceremony, and could not fail within the context ceremony.
Implementing social policy
Authors: Grønningsæter Arne Backer , Kiik Riina
Published: July 2018

In this explorative article the relationship between social policy and social work will be in focus. The article discusses similarities and differences between Estonia and Norway.The empirical material consists of eight focus group interviews with social workers in the two countries. The aim of the study was to investigate to what extent the social work profession represents change agents in the social policy framework. The article looks at the differences and communalities in different years in the two countries. The authors conclude that social workers are important actors in implementing changes at the local level. They seem, however, to be more concerned about the daily encounters with the individual users than about the general policy framework.The main findings suggested that social workers in both countries see themselves as spokespersons for respect for and cooperation with the users while simultaneously arguing that social workers only to a very limited extent see the implementation of social policies as a part of their roles.

The result shows that the difference between the average value before and after obtaining credit is 3.97 (12.60 - 8.63), this is quite big. The difference in the average value of this very large, then the debtor who before getting a loan as additional capital to develop business and increase income. The result of t test analysis for income difference for debtor before and after obtaining credit, where t value counted as -16,0145, while t value of table shows 2,000, it shows that t empirical (count) bigger when compared with t table or -16.0145> 2.000 which means there is a difference of income between the debtor after receiving credit assistance with the debtor who before getting credit assistance from PT. Bank Mandiri (Persero) Tbk. Thus, the proposed hypothesis can be proven and true, that there is a difference between the debtor who after receiving credit assistance with before getting credit assistance.
Holy Grail or nice option: The meaning of penile-vaginal intercourse in “unconsummated” relationships
Authors: Bairstow Adrienne M. , Pillai-Friedman Sabitha , Crane Betsy , Milhausen Robin R.
Published: July 2018

Research to date on heterosexual couples that have never been able to engage in penile-vaginal intercourse (PVI) has been conducted almost exclusively outside of Canada and the United States and is primarily problem-focused, examining biomedical treatments of sexual dysfunction that cause the inability to have PVI (or unconsummated marriage as it is referred to in the literature). Almost nothing is known about the experience of the individuals affected by this phenomenon. This study used a phenomenological approach to answer the question: what is the lived experience of individuals in heterosexual relationships who have been unable to have penile-vaginal intercourse despite wanting to do so? The focus of this paper is on answering the following questions: (1) what is the meaning of PVI? and (2) what is the impact of the inability to have PVI on the relationship and sex life of individuals in heterosexual relationships who have been unable to have PVI? The study involved semi-structured interviews with 17 individuals residing in Canada and the United States. Study findings indicated that although all of the participants expressed a desire to be able to have PVI, the majority described satisfying relationships and sex lives without PVI. However, even participants who described satisfying sex lives tended to view PVI as having special significance over other sexual activities. Implications for healthcare providers and future research are discussed.

This study presents the results of an opinion pool among the users and residents of Mamirauá and Amanã Reserves in relation to the effectiveness of the communications broadcasted through the radio show “Ligado no Mamirauá” (Tunned into Mamirauá). This research was carried out between September and October 2004 aiming to support the planning of a new structure for this radio show, based on the perception of its main listeners. “Ligado no Mamirauá” has been broadcasted every Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30 to 8:00 p.m. by Tefé Rural Radio Station for more than ten years. This research was conducted among listeners at the age of 16 or older, residents and users of these two protected areas. Semi-structured questionnaires were applied to gather opinions about what listeners consider the most relevant subjects, their evaluation of the information offered by the broadcast, their preferences of time shifts and days of the week for a new broadcasting plan. Besides these pools, data about their access to current means of diffusion and information dissemination (radio and TV), and about the conditions of the equipment used were also registered in the individual interviews. The analysis has shown that “Ligado no Mamirauá” needs to broadcast more clear subjects, related to basic local needs, such as health, education, citizenship, and to give opportunity to popular participation during the programs so to strengthen its audience, providing means to establish a participative dialogue about social and environmental development of the protected areas, yet informing more frequently the local opinion (throughout community participation in the radio program) about the work and research carried out by Mamirauá Institute towards the improvement of life quality in the local communities, and about their strengthening as social actors, responsible for the conservation of their own environment.
RECENTES REGISTROS DE Bolitoglossa paraensis (UNTERSTEIN, 1930) (CAUDATA, PLETHODONTIDAE) NO CENTRO DE ENDEMISMO BELÉM
Authors: Estupiñán Ruth Amanda
Published: July 2018

In the red list of threatened species of Pará State, in Brazil, the salamander Bolitoglossa paraensis was listed as vulnerable. Initially the species was considered a synonym with Bolitoglossa altamazonica, but was recently revalidated. This note discusses the validity of the specimens from the west of the Brazilian Amazon identified as B. paraensis. It is also discussed the categorization of the species as vulnerable, and the records of the species was mapped in the Endemism area Belém. In order to establish a Private Natural Reserve (RPPN), a herpetological survey was carried out in different landscape units of the Nova Amafrutas, in Benevides (Pará), and the records of B. paraensis were mapped in these landscape units. By comparing the abundances recorded by Crump (1971) and those results of the present study, suggested that this species is tolerant to antropic “capoeira” forest (old fallows) next to undisturbed forest. More molecular phylogeographic studies are needed in order to establish a stable the taxonomy status for B. paraensis, and also the definition of its real endemic status in the Center of Endemism of Belém.

This study describes the frequency distribution of total length and estimates of the weight-length relationship for Colomesus psittacus in the estuary of the Caeté River, northeastern Brazil. This population had their biometric parameters compared with those of the Curuça River estuary, also in the northeastern Brazil. The sample of 150 individuals presented a total length for C. psittacus varying between 1,8 and 27 cm, with three modes (3 cm, 7,8 cm e 19,8 cm). Some significant differences were detected between the two populations, suggesting they represent two different stocks.

In order to characterize the fishermen of ornamental fish from the region of Tefé, the records of the monitoring program of shipments of ornamental fish from Tefé port were used. The permits issued by the local IBAMA office were also consulted in this survey. After which, representatives of four, out of ten ornamental fishermen groups were interviewed, encompassing 35 families directly involved in the activity at the area. Here the typical ornamental fisherman from Tefé region is described his its main aspects, such as origin, civil status, age, how he learned his skills and how he relates with the formal association of fishermen in the region, the “Colônia de Pesca de Tefé” (Z4). It is also analised the forms of social organization for the activity and the sharing of profits, where the importance of family relations are described and emphasized. Finally the most important variations of this type of fisheries are described, with their methodologies and the most important ornamental fish species targeted.
Ecotourism as an incentive to biodiversity conservation: the case of Uakari Lodge, Amazonas, Brazil.
Authors: Peralta Nelissa
Published: July 2018

O ecoturismo tem sido visto como uma estratégia de conservação da biodiversidade por gerar incentivos econômicos. Neste trabalho investigamos por meio de um estudo de caso, as tentativas de associar geração de renda e conservação em um empreendimento de ecoturismo em uma RDS na Amazônia brasileira. Usando dados qualitativos e quantitativos, o artigo mostra uma associação entre turismo e a preservação do sistema de Lagos Mamirauá. Nos primeiros anos de sua implementação, o turismo foi um incentivo aos esforços locais contra ameaças de agentes externos. Com relação às disputas internas, a associação entre turismo e preservação teve resultados ambíguos. Por um lado foi uma motivação para aqueles que se beneficiaram com turismo a manter o status de proteção total do lago, que viam como importante para a manutenção da atividade. Por outro lado, a associação foi uma das justificativas para a mudança de categoria do lago por parte daqueles que não se consideravam beneficiados com o turismo.
"Spirits Follow the Words”
Authors: Stolz Rosalie
Published: July 2018

A general conundrum for the Khmu of northern Laos is the persistent unknowability of spirits. The locals gauge the potency of spirits by keeping track of spirit stories. Spirit narratives can be conceived of as transient traces of intangible spirit phenomena, as will be exemplified by the story of a young man’s spirit affliction. Sharing and silencing spirit stories are a means of determining the strength of spirits, as well as an efficacious way to evoke them. Using works that embark from the fragmentary and experiential character of animist cosmologies, it will be shown that approaching spirit stories as traces of spirits will be a suitable way to address the perspectives of those who navigate a world that is not inhabited by humans alone.

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is the therapeutic process of placing washed spermatozoa transcervically into the uterine cavity for the treatment of infertility. IUI theoretically allows a relatively higher number of motile spermatozoa to reach the oocyte. This study is a cross sectional prospective study done on 52 cases in newly started Dhaka Medical College Hospital Fertility Care Centre from October 2015 to March 2016. Among the 52 cases 4 cases became pregnant by IUI (7.7%) which is equivalent to the success rate observed in other established centers. The outcome suggests that IUI is possible in a relatively new center with limited technology setting. It may be considered as a good treatment option for couples with unexplained infertility, male factor infertility, and anovulation related infertility. Further improvement of this infertility center can bring better outcome in the treatment of infertility in the public sector.J Shaheed Suhrawardy Med Coll, December 2016, Vol.8(2); 49-53

Background: Benign disorder of breast in female usually seen in reproductive period of life, is thought to be largely hormone induced and there is a dramatic fall in the incidence after menopause due to cessation of ovarian stimulation.Objectives: To find out the relationship between different types of benign breast disease and hormones acting on breast mainly oestrogen, testesteron and prolactin.Methodology: This is a prospective observational study conducted in the department of surgery, Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital. Total 150 female patients of reproductive age were included in the study. Serum levels of oestrogen, testosterone and prolactin were done in all patients. Other relevant radiological and cytological investigations were done accordingly where indicated.Results: Mean age of the study subjects were 28 ±8.46 years. Among the study subjects 64 (42.7%) patients used hormonal contraception, on the other hand 86 patients (57.3%) did not used hormonal contraceptive. 68 (45.3%) patients were non parous, 29( 19.3%) were primi parous and 53 ( 35.3%) were multiparous. 87 (58%) had positive history of breast feeding, 63 (42%) patients did not breast fed their babies. Fibrocystic disease was most common diagnosis among study group followed by fibroadenoma. 96 (64%) patients had fibrocystic disease followed by 38 (25.3%) had fibroadenoma. Mean oestrogen, testosterone and prolactin level was 71.16± 57.63 pg/ml, 0.59 ± 0.42 nmol/L and 22.61 ± 16.65 ng/ml respectively.Conclusion: With this small sample size it is difficult to conclude regarding relation between oestrogen, testosterone, prolactin and benign breast disease. But this study can be used as a base line document regarding benign breast disease, hormone profile, type, distribution and frequency of benign breast disease.J Shaheed Suhrawardy Med Coll, December 2016, Vol.8(2); 54-57

Published: July 2018

Background: Antepartum hemorrhage complicates 2-5% of pregnancies, whichapproximately one-third are due to placenta previa. Placenta previa is acondition derived to an abnormal implantation of the embryos in thelower uterine segment. In placenta previa hemorrhage is more likely to occur during third trimester,as a consequence of the development of the lower uterine segment and of the dilation of the cervix due to the uterine contractions; alsovaginal examination may lead to an antepartum hemorrhage. Risk factors for the development of placenta previa include prior cesarean delivery, pregnancy termination, intrauterine surgery, smoking, multifetal gestation, increasing parity, maternal age and the rising rates of Cesarean section. Placenta previa is associated with adverse consequences for both mother and children, such as Intra-Uterine Growth Restriction (IUGR), preterm birth, antenatal and intra-partum hemorrhage, maternal blood transfusion and emergency hysterectomy. Placenta previa has been diagnosed increasingly in recent decades, due to mostly to the widespread use of ultrasound (US). Apart from ultrasound a valid imaging modality to study and investigate placenta in antepartum period seems to be magnetic resonance (MR).Careful monitoring of high risk pregnancies is of utmost importance. Avoidance of unnecessary caesarean sections and early week’s pregnancy terminations can minimize the placenta previa. In diagnosed cases, preoperative planning, preoperative decisions and good postoperative management can safe a mother and child.J Shaheed Suhrawardy Med Coll, June 2017, Vol.9(1); 26-30
The Conservation Effects of Trade with Imperfect Competition and Biased Policymakers

Published: July 2018

In this paper, we study the effects of international trade on forest conservation and welfare in a two-country model with industry-biased policymakers and Cournot-competing firms. We find that opening up to trade increases the harvest taxes that the industry-biased governments impose compared to the autarky taxes. The tax increase is large enough to decrease the production levels, which leads to higher conservation levels. In addition, the numerical simulation predicts that increasing the industry-bias monotonically increases (i) the positive tax effect, (ii) the positive conservation effect, and (iii) the welfare gains from trade. The intuition behind the results is that industry-biased governments already degrade the environment under autarky, so even a highly-distorted trade outcome can be welfare-improving. We conclude that, even if industry bias decreases conservation, it does not have to increase the environmental costs of trade.
