Provide a basis for the quality of life with atrial fibrillation. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between January 2020 to September 2021 on patients recruited from a tertiary hospital in Chengdu. The Medical Outcome Study 36-item Short Form (MOS SF-36), University of Toronto atrial fibrillation Severity Scale and personal information questionnaires was used as survey measurement. Participants with a physician diagnosis of AF, documented on medical records, were included in this study. Data was collected through a survey that was distributed to all eligible patients through face-to-face way. Results: There were slightly more female (65.1%) than male participants, with a mean (SD) age of 73.65 (11.08) years. Two symptom clusters were evident, including Fatigue symptoms cluster(shortness of breath at rest, shortness of breath with activity, exercise intolerance, fatigue at rest) and cardiac symptoms cluster (palpitations, dizziness，chest pain），There was a negative correlation between quality of life and the two symptom clusters. Multivariate linear analysis showed that fatigue symptoms cluster and cardiac symptoms cluster could significantly predict the quality of life of patients(P<0.01). Conclusion: Two unique atrial fibrillation symptom clusters were identified in this study population，which seriously affect the quality of life of patients. Nurses should timely evaluate patients' symptoms and actively manage patients' symptom clusters, so as to effectively improve the quality of life of patients.

Taiwan's Politics in Pixels: Analyzing the Democratic Progressive Party's Digital Rhetoric
Authors: Lu Yipei
Published: September 2023

Over seven decades of political stalemate, Taiwan's sovereign status vis-à-vis Mainland China remains an unresolved and volatile issue. The 21st century has witnessed spiraling cross-Strait tensions due to pro-independence endeavors by the Taiwanese Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), challenging the fundamental One China Principle. This delicate equilibrium has experienced further strain by the DPP's employment of digital campaigns to influence Taiwanese citizens' perceptions of Mainland China, while simultaneously bolstering ties with the US in support of autonomy. Amid this complex landscape, media and political propagandas have surfaced as the DPP's prominent instruments to sway its citizenry. However, the potency of digital media in sculpting public opinion and steering political discourse is met with a scarcity of research exploring the DPP's methodologies in advocating for an autonomous Taiwan. To address this gap, this paper offers a preliminary outlook by analyzing the DPP's deployment of digital media and political rhetoric as influential mechanisms to shape its citizens' perceptions of identity.
Municipal Solid Waste Management in Skardu: Current Status, and Corrective Measures
Authors: Imran Hussain  , Kacho Muhammad Imran Khan  , Salar Ali  , Muhammad Ayub  , Atia Fehmi  , Zakir Hussain
Published: September 2023

Solid waste management (SWM) is a marginalized sector in Gilgit Baltistan, causing a frightening situation, especially in the municipal area of district Skardu. The total municipal area of Skardu is about 4260 sq. km with a population of approximately 112996. In line with other government departments, the Gilgit Baltistan waste management company (GBWMC) is responsible for collecting and dumping solid waste. The current study was devised to calculate, characterize, and analyze the past status, and current position of municipal solid waste (MSW) production, so that necessary management practices and corrective measures can be carried out more efficiently in the study area. A series of interviews of concerned persons as well as extensive field surveys were conducted. The method used by GBWMC to collect waste was: door-to-door collection, placement of waste bins, and collection from the arterial roads. Waste was collected manually in polythene bags, handcarts, and baskets. The findings revealed that approximately 45-50 tonnes of waste was generated per day in the winter and in the summer it increases to 50-55 tonnes. The average waste generation was 0.43 kg per capita per day and is increasing at a rate of 2.28% annually. The main sources of waste were commercial and household waste contributing approximately 60 % and 40% of the total waste production respectively.  There was no scientific disposal system for the collected waste which is dumped on the dumping sites by utilizing available resources considering Environmental protection agency (EPA) regulations along the Indus River bank. Thus specific steps should be taken to develop a proper scientific disposal system of collected wastes by incorporating the experts' expertise and modern technologies.
THE ROLE OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF INDEPENDENT STATES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF EURASIAN INTEGRATION
Authors: Гришина Т.М.
Published: September 2023

Регионализация, проходящая сегодня в мире как ответ на попытку глобализации, стала возможной в результате крушения Советского Союза, бывшего одним из столпов биполярного мирового устройства. Деградация некогда единой геополитической и геоэкономической системы СССР поставила постсоветские республики перед необходимостью реализации интеграционных объединений. Первым и фундаментальным для всех интеграционных этапов стало создание Содружества Независимых Государств (СНГ). Политические противоречия помешали развитию экономического потенциала СНГ, однако на его площадке принимались эффективные решения, формировалась правовая база и выявлялись заинтересованные партнеры. Евразийское пространство стало исторической основой для развития интеграционного потенциала в межгосударственных отношениях. Исследование посвящено анализу современных процессов постсоветского пространства, изучению факторов, влияющих на объединение государств, имеющих общие исторические корни, на основе применения сравнительно-исторического метода в целях выявить дальнейшую тенденцию развития межгосударственного взаимодействия стран СНГ. В статье предпринята попытка переосмысления роли Содружества для постсоветского пространства, часто критикуемого за аморфность и низкую координационную дисциплину в исполнении собственных решений, а также анализа пройденных этапов интеграционного пути на основе исторического опыта и с учетом полученных уроков.

The regionalization taking place in the world today, as a response to an attempt of globalization, became possible as a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union, which was one of the pillars of the bipolar world order. The degradation of the once unified geopolitical and geo-economic system of the USSR has put the post-Soviet republics in front of the need to implement integration associations. The first and fundamental for all integration stages was the creation of the Commonwealth of Independent States. Political contradictions prevented the development of the economic potential of the CIS, however, effective decisions were made on its site, a legal framework was formed and interested partners were identified. The Eurasian space has become a historical basis for the development of integration potential in interstate relations. The study analyzes modern processes in the post-Soviet space, examines factors affecting the unification of states with common historical roots based on the use of the comparative historical method in order to identify the further trend in the development of interstate interaction of the CIS countries. The article attempts to rethink the role of the Commonwealth for the post-Soviet space, which is often criticized for amorphousness and low coordination discipline in the execution of its own decisions, as well as the analysis of the stages of the integration path on the basis of the historical experience and taking into account the lessons learned.
MIXED MARRIAGES AS A FACTOR OF INTERETHNIC INTERACTION IN A CISCAUCASIAN CITYIN THE 1890S - 1930S (ON THE EXAMPLE OF ARMAVIR)

Published: September 2023

Важнейшей причиной формирования многонационального облика Северо-Западного Кавказа во второй половине XIX – начале ХХ вв. был колонизационный приток переселенцев. Среди центров Предкавказья, имевших гетерогенный полиэтничный контингент жителей, заметно выделялся Армавир. Полиэтническая среда российских городов региона в целом способствовала формированию условий для роста числа смешанных браков. В настоящем исследовании процессы миксации рассматриваются на примере армавирской немецкой общины, выявлены случаи смешанных браков среди православного населения. Данный анализ дополнен статистикой динамики процессов миксации в среде народов Северного Кавказа в 1920-1930-е гг. Наши наблюдения показывают, что в среде городской этнообщины, существующей в иноэтничном окружении, со временем возрастает число смешанных браков. Этот процесс протекает более интенсивно, чем аналогичные процессы среди, например, автохтонных народов Северного Кавказа. Впрочем, относительно более высокий процент смешанных браков среди горожан наблюдался в первые десятилетия советской власти и среди этих народов. Наиболее подробно в статье затронуты процессы этнического размывания на примере немецкой общины города Армавира. В итоге авторы обосновывают вывод об интенсификации межэтнического взаимодействия на уровне родственных связей в первые десятилетия советской власти.

The colonization influx of migrants was a major factor in forming the multinational image of the North-Western Caucasus in the second half of the XIX - early XX centuries. Among the centers of Ciscaucasia with a heterogeneous multi-ethnic diversity of inhabitants, Armavir stood out noticeably. The multi-ethnic environment of Russian cities in the region as a whole contributed to the increase in the number of mixed marriages. In this study, the processes of mixing are considered on the example of the Armavir German community; cases of mixed marriages among the Orthodox population are identified. The analysis also provides statistics on the dynamics of mixing processes among the peoples of the North Caucasus in the 1920s-1930s. The analysis shows that in an urban ethno-community that exists in a different ethnic environment, the number of mixed marriages increases over time. This process is more intense than similar processes among, for example, the autochthonous peoples of the North Caucasus. However, the percentage of mixed marriages among these peoples was relatively higher in the first decades of Soviet regime. The article thoroughly examines the processes of ethnic erosion on the example of the German community of the city of Armavir. In conclusion, the authors prove the intensification of interethnic interaction at the level of family ties in the first decades of Soviet regime.

В данной статье приведены результаты социологического исследования профессиональных ориентаций выпускников самарских школ. Рассмотрены основные популярные специальности, которые выбирают выпускники при поступлении, мотивы выбора той или иной специальности, а также рейтинги Самарских ВУЗов. Востребованность определенных специальностей соотнесена с потребностями рынка труда Самарской области (на основе сравнения с официальными статистическими данными). В частности, было выявлено, что самарские старшеклассники в целом предпочитают гуманитарные вузовские специальности, тогда как на рынке труда наблюдается нехватка специалистов технического профиля. Также необходимо отметить существующий дефицит квалифицированных кадров со средне-профессиональным образованием. Потребность в данных специалистах в 2 раза выше, чем в специалистах с высшим образованием как на региональном, так и на муниципальном уровнях. Большинство выпускников самарских школ ориентировано на поступление в местные ВУЗы. Четверть опрошенных будет пробовать поступить в центральные ВУЗы страны, чуть более 10% - в высшие учебные заведения других городов, около 3% – в зарубежные ВУЗы. Автор делает обзор статей, в которых приводятся результаты исследований по схожей тематике и делает попытку триангуляции данных.

The article presents the results of the sociological study of the career counselling of Samara schools graduates. The article reviews the most popular specialisations that high school students choose when they go to universities, their motives for choosing one as well as the ratings of Samara universities. The demand for certain specialisations correlated with the needs of the regional labor market (compared with the official statistics). It was found that Samara high school students generally prefer the humanitarian specialisations, while there is a shortage of technical specialists in the labor market. It is also necessary to note the existing shortage of qualified workers with secondary vocational education. The need for these specialists is 2 times higher than for specialists with higher education both at the regional and municipal levels. Most of the graduates of Samara choose to enter local universities. A quarter of the respondents will try to enter the top universities of Russia, a little more than 10% - universities in other cities, about 3% opt for foreign universities. The author also reviews the articles in which the results of research on similar topics are presented and makes an attempt at triangulation of data.
A Fair Concern about ECDIS
Authors:   Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy, Sozonov Nikolay , Dimitranov Dilyan
Published: September 2023

Digital technology introduced a lot of benefits in the shipping industry but the relation between the equipment and the operator remains paramount and essential. Ship’s Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS), being recently a cornerstone for navigation, is not an exception. Not only scientific reviews and articles, but also marine officer’s opinion exchange, in other words, ashore and on board, point out that there is a gap, which should be addressed as soon as possible. Operation of the ECDIS by the human factor is essential for safe navigation. The shortage of training and knowledge always leads to near misses and incidents. The marine society, all over the world, has to take appropriate measures in order to “fill in the gaps” and keep the safer practices. These measures should be applied by the efforts of certain participants: the educational community, the shipowners, the manufacturers and the legal aspect, International Maritime Organization and Flag Administrations. All the mentioned parties may engage in a cooperative collaboration among themselves. The aim of this article is to research the main difficulties experienced on board by the ECDIS users and the way to rectify certain shortcomings related to the ECDIS.
Composing a Standard for Electronic Chart Display and Information System Type Specific Training
Authors:   Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy, Komitov Dimitar , Angelova Aleksandrina
Published: September 2023

Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) training is accepted as extremely important for safety in modern navigation. At present, two types of training are required for deck officers. Operational use of ECDIS is mandatory training for deck officers and it is conducted according to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Model course 1.27. This course provides general knowledge about ECDIS. Type specific training is indispensable for the officers to know all the capabilities, functions, and limitations of the ECDIS used onboard. The lack of regulations for this type of training allows the manufacturers of ECDIS to apply their own requirements. This can result in improper and insufficient training. Based on research of the opinion and experience of deck officers, the authors of the paper propose a model of a standard for type specific training.

Published: September 2023

El varamiento de especies marinas ocurre a lo largo de la zona costera del Pacifico y Caribe de Centroamérica. En el Pacífico de Nicaragua se reportan varamientos a lo largo del año, aumentando en los periodos de migración de especies marinas. No se cuenta con la información necesaria sobre cuáles son las especies, los periodos y su distribución espacial. Una excelente alternativa para registrar esta información es a través de la ciencia ciudadana, con ayuda de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y comunicación. El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar el comportamiento de los varamientos de especies marinas a través de la ciencia ciudadana. Se elaboró una aplicación Android alojada en la playstore de Google. Esta nos permite colectar la información en campo, la cual está conectada a la plataforma de ESRI. Cualquier ciudadano en las zonas costeras podrán reportar los varamientos y a la vez visualizar los registros a través de una aplicación web que contará con la localización, fotografías, especies y las fechas en las que se encontraron los organismos. Se han obtenido 8 reportes de varamientos, de los cuales 7 han sido de tortugas marinas (Lepidochelys olivácea y Chelonia mydas agassizii) y 1 reporte de Delfín. A través de las fotografías se identificó un varamiento masivo en la zona de San Juan del sur, donde se reportaron más de 10 tortugas muertas. La mayoría de los reportes fueron de organismos muertos y en su mayoría en estado de descomposición, a excepción del Delfín.

Las variables presentaron tendencias, ambas series presentan raíces unitarias en niveles, sin embargo, son estacionarias en primeras diferencias; a partir de las cuales se encontró una relación lineal significativa. Utilizando un modelo autorregresivo de rezagos distribuidos (ARDL) para considerar los efectos dinámicos de las variables, se identificó que las variables en estudio utilizadas se encuentran cointegradas por lo que existe una relación estable de largo plazo. Se determino que no existe una relación de corto plazo entre el interés y el índice de morosidad, aunque la relación de largo plazo si es significativa entre estas variables.
Os municípios brasileiros e a gestão ambiental: estrutura e articulação institucional
Authors: De Sousa Janaildo Soares , Caetano Francisco Aquiles De Oliveira , Sousa Érika Costa , Silva Andréa Ferreira
Published: September 2023

O estudo analisa os níveis de adoção dos instrumentos básicos de gestão ambiental nos municípios brasileiros. Para tanto, utiliza os dados da pesquisa Perfil dos Municípios Brasileiros – 2017, publicada pelo IBGE. Adota como estratégia empírica a criação de dois índices agregados: i) o Índice de Gestão Ambiental– IGA e ii) o Índice de Ocorrência de Impactos Ambientais – IIA para os municípios brasileiros. Os resultados ratificam o que estudos anteriores ressaltaram: há pouco interesse dos gestores municipais no que concerne a adoção dos instrumentos que balizam a gestão ambiental, como Plano, Conselho e Fundo Municipal do Meio Ambiente, o que pode ser explicado pelo fato da gestão ambiental ser sempre tratada como segundo plano. A partir da pesquisa, foi possível concluir que a ocorrência de impactos ambientais provoca a elevação nos níveis de gestão ambiental municipal, confirmando que os municípios assumem uma postura reativa, quando deveriam ter uma posturaproativa frente ao avanço dos problemas ambientais.

Published: September 2023

O estudo analisa o desempenho do Programa Nacional de Fortalecimento da Agricultura Familiar (PRONAF) no estado do Pará, no período 2000-2019. Os dados foram obtidos no Anuário e Matriz de Dados de Crédito Rural do Banco Central do Brasil (BCB). O comportamento da oferta de crédito foi caracterizado pelo método shift-share. O Índice de Gini mensurou a concentração dos recursos nas atividades agrícolas e pecuárias. Para mensurar o nível de especialidade produtiva nos municípios, foram calculados o Índice Normalizado de Crédito Rural (INCR) e o Índice Normalizado da Agricultura e Pecuária (INAP). Segundo as análises, foram realizadas 510.112 contratações equivalentes a R$ 7,5 bilhões, dos quais foram direcionados para a agricultura e pecuária, respectivamente, 28,11% e 71,89%. O shift-share revelou uma oferta de recursos muito associada aos aperfeiçoamentos feitos no Programa ao longo dos anos e, mais recentemente, ocorre certa tendência de diminuição na formalização de novos contratos. Os valores médios do Índice de Gini para a agricultura (0,76) e pecuária (0,75) indicaram alta concentração dos recursos em ambos os segmentos. O INCR apontou maior número de municípios especializados em atividades pecuárias comparativamente às atividades agrícolas, situação oposta aos resultados do INAP que manifestou uma maioria de municípios com maior retorno financeiro proveniente da agricultura. Os principais produtos financiados evidenciaram grandes quantias de recursos aplicados na aquisição e manutenção de animais e realização de melhoramentos nas explorações pecuárias. Na agricultura, recebem maior atenção as lavouras de soja, mandioca e abacaxi, bem como a formação de culturas perenes representadas pelo açaí, dendê e pimenta-do-reino.

Introdução: A doação e o transplante de órgãos e tecidos é um tema de interesse multiprofissional e pauta importante quanto à promoção de políticas de saúde pública referentes à aplicação dessa terapêutica. Objetivos: Apresentar uma análise do cenário da doação de órgãos e tecidos para transplante pós-morte na 16a Região de Saúde do estado do Rio Grande do Sul entre os anos de 2010 e 2020, com enfoque na avaliação das negativas familiares para a doação. Métodos: Foi realizado um levantamento censitário dos dados referentes aos protocolos de morte encefálica realizados no período, os quais foram tabulados no Microsoft Excel, analisados por meio da construção de séries temporais e relacionados utilizando o teste qui-quadrado. Resultados: A análise realizada na região evidencia uma maior proporção de negativas (57,8 %) em relação aos aceites (42,2 %) para doação de órgãos e tecidos. Porém, quando observados apenas os últimos anos do período, vê-se outra realidade: de 2017 a 2019 asafirmativas para a doação corresponderam a mais de 75 % das famílias entrevistadas. No ano de 2020, no entanto, de forma atípica, não foram concluídos protocolos de morte encefálica e, portanto, nenhuma família passou pela entrevista para doação. Conclusão: Há uma tendência de aumento nos percentuais de doação ao longo dos anos, tanto na 16a Região de Saúde do estado do Rio Grande do Sul como no restante do país, porém, a quantidade de transplantes realizados ainda é inferior à necessidade da população.

In the last few decades, researchers have been conducting various studies in search of alternative energy sources to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and anticipate future energy scarcity. One such alternative energy is hydrogen, which can be obtained through various methods, including electrolysis of water. Hydrogen possesses the characteristics of being flammable, odorless, colorless, and tasteless, necessitating the development of a rigorous monitoring and protection system to mitigate potential hazards. In this study, a monitoring and protection system was designed for the operation of an electrolyzer using a Dry Cell type HHO Generator. The system employs the concept of the Internet of Things, where data is connected through the internet network. The data received includes hydrogen concentration readings, electrolyzer operation automation, electrolyzer operating status, and hydrogen gas leak detection in the system. The research results obtained showed that the higher the concentration of electrolyte and the voltage supplied to the electrolysis process, the faster the production of hydrogen gas is accelerated, accompanied by an increase in temperature. If a leakage occurs in a system, the occurrence of the fire triangle will be faster when the concentration of electrolyte and the voltage supplied are greater.

Consumers are increasingly seeking healthier and more sustainable meat products. Rabbit meat is generally considered a healthier alternative to red meat because of its low fat and cholesterol content. However, people accustomed to consuming red meat may find it less visually appealing because of its pale appearance. Plants rich in beneficial phytochemicals like Sorghum bicolor (Sorghum) have been used to impart desirable colouration and sensory properties to processed foods. In this study, Rabbit Meat Floss (RMF) was prepared with graded levels of powdered sorghum stalks thus: Treatment 1/Control (RMF +0% Sorghum), Treatment 2 (RMF+ 1% Sorghum), Treatment 3 (RMF+2% Sorghum) and Treatment 4 (RMF+3% Sorghum). The RMF were analysed for Yield (%), Microbial load (logCFU/g), Lipid oxidation (mgMDA/kg), Proximate composition (%), and Sensory properties at intervals of 0, 10, and 20 days. The RMF analysed on days 10 and 20 were packed in Ziploc bags and kept at room temperature. The experimental design was completely randomised, and all analyses were done in triplicates. All treatments with Sorghum inclusion had higher yields than the Control, with Treatment 3 (RMF+2% Sorghum) having the highest yield (107.98). All RMF with sorghum had higher crude protein than the control. Treatment 2 (RMF+1% sorghum) had the highest crude protein at days 0 (50.67) and 20 (47.85). Ash content was also higher in RMF with sorghum, and Treatment 4(RMF+3% Sorghum) had the highest values at days 0 (9.00) and 20 (8.49). At day 0, Treatment 3 (RMF+2% Sorghum) was rated highest in tenderness (7.00) while Treatment 2 (RMF+1% Sorghum) was rated highest in juiciness, and Treatment 4 (RMF+3%Sorghum) rated highest in colour (8.10). On day 20, all RMFs with sorghum had higher colour scores, with Treatment 4 (RMF+3%Sorghum) having the highest score (8.10). There were no significant differences in microbial load during the study. The inclusion of Sorghum bicolor in rabbit meat floss significantly improved its crude protein and ash content. It also improved visual appeal, while overall acceptability was not severely comprised up to twenty days of storage.

AIDS-related Kaposi’s Sarcoma (KS) is a multi-centric angiogenic neoplastic proliferation predominantly seen in individuals with Human Immune Virus (HIV-1) infection and men who have sex with men. Although the incidences of aggressive KS have reduced following the introduction of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) in the treatment of HIV infection, the effect of HAART rollout in relation to population KS incidence in Zambia remains unclear as cases of the malignancy have continued to be reported. This study, investigated the trends of KS in the era of HAART in Zambia. The researchers conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study. Three hundred and twentycases of HIV-infected individuals on HAART that developed KS between 2008 and 2017 were reviewed. Data was retrieved from the Zambia National Cancer Registry (ZNCR). Of the records reviewed, the researchers observed a sharp increase in KS cases from 5.6 per cent in 2008 to 21.2 per cent in 2014; from 2015 to 2017, there was a general decline in KS cases countrywide in both sexes from 13.1 per cent to 9.4 per cent. KS was more prevalent in Lusaka Province, while Western Province had the least number of cases. For each province, there were more males affected by KS than females. The researchers further observed that 19.1 per cent of the cases reviewed developed KS while on HAART, while 80.9 per cent developed KS before the commencement of HAART. The age group with the highest number of KS cases was 21-40 years, while the age group ≥ 80 had the least number of cases. Our data has shown that although there has been a general decline in KS cases across the ten provinces of Zambia in recent years, more efforts are still required to mitigate AIDS-related KS incidence and improve KS prognosis. There is a need to encourage efforts aimed at HIV infection prevention, wide coverage of HAART across the country, and KS awareness and screening.

Digital therapeutics (DTx) are emerging as an innovative means of delivering evidence-based medical interventions via software to prevent, manage, and treat a variety of health conditions. This paper examines the potential of DTx to address major public health priorities and their integration into healthcare systems. DTx can increase access to care, lower treatment costs, provide personalized interventions, and facilitate remote monitoring. Studies demonstrate DTx efficacy for conditions like diabetes, mental health disorders, and smoking cessation. However, barriers to adoption exist including the digital divide, privacy concerns, limited evidence, and regulatory uncertainties. Thoughtful implementation of DTx into clinical workflows, leveraging capabilities for public health surveillance, and partnerships among stakeholders can maximize population health benefits. While not panaceas, DTx holds promise to complement traditional interventions by improving outcomes, promoting wellness behaviors, and supporting self-management of chronic diseases if vigilance is maintained regarding ethical risks and equitable access globally. Overall, DTx offers new avenues to reshape healthcare and public health, but require continued research, policy evolution, and collaborative efforts among technology developers, providers, regulators, and communities.

Intimate partner violence though not consistent with our cultural and traditional values and beliefs as a people, is becoming rampant and this is a misnomer. Intimate partner violence (IPV) especially among women is a global phenomenon and has become a major public health concern. The researcher adopted a descriptive cross-sectional study design to assess patterns and predictors of intimate partner violence among pregnant mothers attending healthcare Centre’s in Obio/Akpor L.G.A., River’s state. A self-structured survey was utilized to gather information from 416 systematically selected pregnant mothers with a response rate of 412(99%). Data was evaluated utilizing descriptive and inferential statistics at a 5% degree of significance. Findings showed that many of the respondents ages 23 – 31years, married, with tertiary education, of Christian faith, were into business and had two children. The prevalence of IPV before pregnancy was 21.4% while in current pregnancy it was 20.1%. The most common violence act was physical 83(20.1%), followed by verbal violence 79(19.2%), emotional violence accounted for 76(18.4%), psychological violence 68(16.5%) while the least reported was sexual violence with about 57(13.8%). Domestic and financial issues were the cause of most violent experiences accounting for 19.9% and 19.4%. Statistical analysis using multinomial logistic regression showed that educational attainment (p; 0.000) and lifestyle of the husband (p = 0.000) were the socioeconomic and sociodemographic factors respectively associated with IPV. It is recommended that screening for intimate partner violence among pregnant women should be provided as uniform care during antenatal visits.
