Published: June 2024

Background: Good service provision leads to client satisfaction which builds a ‘Social Pact’ between service providers and clients. To obtain a high level of client satisfaction; standards for service delivery need to be adhered to, it is believed that our service receivers have the right to expect. The Hospital is committed to good performance of health services to improve service delivery to the general public and other stakeholders across the border.
The purpose of this survey for client exit interview satisfaction was to gather valuable client feedback and to work on it to improve health services and sustain in areas of good performance identified.

Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study design was applied using a convenience approach to obtain a sample size of 387. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences. The survey was conducted between April and July 2023.

Results: All participants (100%) appreciated that the hospital was clean and items were in good order; most of the clients explained their diagnosis (97.9%), and surgical procedure (92%) and obtained the results of the ordered investigations (78.3%). 97.4% of clients returned for their appointment, despite not being reminded through phone calls (73.9%), during their visit majority were measured vital signs (94.8%) and that day's visit was satisfactory to them (98.7%). The areas where the patients took fewer minutes to wait for services were Nephrology, Oncology, Gastroenterology, and Reception.
The areas in which the patients took more minutes to wait for services were EMD (Emergency Medicine Department), Laboratory, and Internal Medicine.

Conclusion: There are some areas in which the Hospital has performed well and other areas in which the Hospital needs improvement to sustain and continue with the shining results. For example, some departments are still not aware of the guide for their service provision by following the time limitation available in the client charter.

This qualitative study sought to explore deaf students access to counselling services at the University of Education, Winneba. The study was underpinned by Murray’s system of needs theory, phenomenological research was adopted as the design and a purposive sampling technique was used to select twelve deaf students and two counsellors for the study. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically via verbatim transcriptions, coding, drawing of themes and discussions of findings. The findings of the study indicated that deaf students have unique counselling needs such as educational needs, financial, health and personal needs that are often not adequately addressed by the existing counselling services at the University of Education, Winneba. The findings again revealed that deaf students often perceived counselling as mere advise-giving, not relevant for the needs and is meant for the hearing students only. Deaf students however, as revealed by the students resort to accessing counselling services from lecturers, church leaders, peers and sign language interpreters who are most times closer to them and who again can communicate with them through sign language. Based on the study's findings, the study recommended collaboration between lecturers who offer counselling services and the University counselling professionals, lecturers should be aware of their role as facilitators and the limits of their counselling capabilities, The University Management in collaboration with Counseling Unit should recruit and train counselors who are proficient in sign language and have a deep understanding of deaf culture and experiences. The Counseling Unit should offer online counseling options with sign language interpretation for students who may face challenges accessing on-campus services.

Published: June 2024

Breast cancer has a lengthy history; the Egyptians were the first to record cases of the disease over 3500 years ago, around 1500 B.C. Worldwide, breast cancer is the most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women. Asia is the region responsible for 43% of newly diagnosed cases and 50% of all breast cancer deaths globally. Lung cancer is no longer the primary cause of cancer incidence worldwide; breast cancer in women has surpassed it entirely, accounting for 11.7% of all cancer cases with a projected 2.3 million new cases in 2020. With a prevalence incidence of 25.8 instances per 100,000 people, breast cancer is the most frequent cancer in India. In 2020, it will be responsible for 13.6% of all new cancer cases and around 13.3 fatalities per 100,000 people. In 2020, there was 13.3 fatalities per 100,000 persons. When breast cancer is discovered at stage IV as opposed to stage I, the survival rate drops by 2.7 times, and in 2020, about 90,408 Indian women lost their lives as a consequence. In developing nations, breast cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality for women. The consensus on the causes of cancer is that smoking and alcohol consumption are to blame. However, the reality remains that it is diverse, and if identified early on, it can be treated favorably with a better-than-expected prognosis and even a lower death rate. Additionally, a wealth of scientific evidence supports the notion that 30% of cancers are curable if identified early and treated promptly, 40% are preventable, and the remaining 30% of advanced cancers are treated with palliative care due to the necessity of effective pain relief measures. According to the American Cancer Society, 281,550 women are expected to receive a breast cancer diagnosis in 2021, and 43,600 women are expected to lose their lives to the disease in the US. Early identification of diseases is essential for Individuals with smaller tumors at the time of diagnosis have a much lower chance of dying and a greater survival rate, indicating an effective therapy and expected prognosis. Female breast cancer has surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, with an estimated 2.3 million new cases (11.7%), followed by lung (11.4%), colorectal (10.0 %), prostate (7.3%), and stomach (5.6%) cancers. Lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death, with an estimated 1.8 million deaths (18%), followed by colorectal (9.4%), liver (8.3%), stomach (7.7%), and female breast (6.9%) cancers.

Authors: - Anil Karn , - Anuradha Pandey Dubey , - Sudhakar More , - Madhuri Sharon
Published: June 2024

From the leaves of an Indian species of Ancistrocladus heyneanus, crude extract of mixed Naphthyl Isoquinoline alkaloids were tested against cytotoxicity and anti-cancer activity using MDCK 2 -cells and PLC/PRF/5 -cells. It showed >50% viability of MDCK 2 -cells, at all tried concentrations, showing it to be non-toxic to normal cells. Whereas, response to the viability of PLC/PRF/5 -cells at all concentrations of alkaloid exhibited a decrease in viability with increase in concentration, suggesting anti-cancer property of alkaloids. Since extract from leaves was a mixture of alkaloids, it was thought desirable to separate the alkaloids to see which alkaloid had anti-cancer property. We report anti-cancer property of separated Ancistrocline alkaloid. The alkaloids were separated using TLC, which showed 3-bands. Only middle band of the TLC bands, that has a molecular weight of 421 (as detected by LC/MS) and identified as Ancistrocline by NMR, has exhibited anti-cancer activity against PLC/PRF/5 -cells and was non-cytotoxic against MDCK 2 -cells

Authors: - Efren T. Belen, Jr. , - Elsie Lynn B. Locson
Published: June 2024

Background: Young people use vaping cigarettes to improve their social standing and become more popular with friends. Thus, anxiety has also been associated with vape cigarette use among young individuals. An increase in impulsivity has also been linked to increased smoking habits.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to bring the findings to the attention of policymakers and managers in our healthcare systems to recognize the severity of the situation thoroughly and lay the groundwork for the appropriate interventions to address the condition of our high school students.
Methods: The study utilized a non-experimental quantitative research design, specifically the correlational technique, through a validated questionnaire, mean, and Pearson r.

Results: Analysis of the results showed that the respondent's results for the indicator "Feel anxious after vaping" (0.014) were found to be significant with a p-value of less than 0.05, indicating that respondents' exhibiting emotional and social anxiety was significantly related to their feeling anxious after vaping.

Conclusion: This study found that vaping does not have a beneficial effect on the emotional, mental, and social aspects of the respondents, which would have resulted in diminished anxiety levels and improved moods. There was evidence of a statistically significant effect on the respondents' anxiety. Hence, further research is needed to determine the impact of vaping on anxiety levels.
Genese Et Evolution Du Cadre Normatif De La Participation Politique De La Femme
Authors: - Brigitte MUTEBA BYAMUNGU
Published: June 2024

La présente étude se propose de mettre en mélodie le fondement juridique de la participation politique de la femme. Ce fondement constitue le cadre normatif se situant à la fois au niveau international, régional et national. Il renvoie aux différents instruments juridiques supranationaux et nationaux de référence en matière de reconnaissance des droits politiques de la femme.
Ces droits politiques sont au cœur des préoccupations et luttes que mènent au quotidien plusieurs femmes engagées aussi bien au niveau associatif que politique. Rappelons que les droits de l’homme ou droits humains tels qu’on les appelle maintenant pour prendre en compte la dimension genre, sont l’ensemble des droits et libertés que chaque individu femme ou homme possède du seul fait de sa nature humaine et qui ont été proclamés le 10 décembre 1948 par un texte solennel appelé « Déclaration Universelle des Droits de l’Homme ». Trois valeurs clés constituent le fondement de l’idée des droits de l’homme : la dignité humaine, l’égalité et la liberté. Les droits humains sont des droits inaliénables que possède tout être humain, qu’il soit homme ou femme. Les femmes ont donc les mêmes droits que les hommes. Les droits politiques permettent la participation à la vie de la communauté et de la société. Ce sont : le droit de vote, le droit d’être éligible, le droit d’adhérer à un parti politique de son choix, etc.
Lexical Richness and Features in the Journal Entries of L2 Learners
Authors: - Maryann Rose A. Erandio , - Ana Cristina G. Fortes
Published: June 2024

Lexical richness is a measure of the quality of the language production in oral or written by the language user. It reflects how well a person can utilize diverse and sophisticated vocabulary in their communication. The level of lexical richness is often associated with effectivity and nuanced communication, enabling language users to express thoughts using their acquired lexicons. This study aimed to determine the extent of lexical richness and the features of journal entries of the L2 learners. Mixed method research design was utilized in this study to quantify and describe the lexical richness of L2 learners. To know the extent of the lexical richness of the journal entries of L2 learners the lexical density, diversity, and sophistication were determined using the lexical frequency profile of Laufer & Nation, (1995). The result was interpreted using the lexical density level scale of Ure (1971) and the AG scale of Naismith, et.al (2018) for lexical diversity and lexical sophistication.
The findings revealed that the L2 learners’ journal entries are low in lexical richness with an average of 27.70. Moreover, the journal entries featured a high percentage of high-frequency and basic lexicons which implies that the entries are easy to understand because the lexicons are common. Likewise, the entries consist of a high proportion of nouns which indicates that L2 learners have limited acquired descriptive words in L2. Therefore, regular language assessment per grade level may be conducted to track the progress of L2 learners in L2. Likewise, L2 learners may be given continuous exposure to diverse texts from different disciplines, featuring varying lexical levels.

Constraints and Driving Factors for Farmers’ Participation in the Futures Market: An Empirical Analysis
Authors: - Dr. Gouri Prava Samal , - Pranjali Das
Published: June 2024

The governments at central and state level have taken several steps to improve the market linkages for small farmers. More focus has been placed on improving small-scale farmers' access to markets and managing risks since the beginning of the 2000s. Commodity futures and forward markets have developed as a result of this market-oriented strategy. For welcoming advantages, an important proportion of small-scale farmers must participate in derivative markets, either directly or indirectly. Though agricultural producers, individually and in groups, can benefit from the the futures market's price discovery effectiveness in a variety of ways, they are typically hesitant to engage in derivative market activity perceiving it as risky. With this background, the current study was designed with the goal to identify the crucial elements that limit or motivate the engagement of Farmer Producer Organization (FPO) members within the market for commodity futures. Field investigation was carried out in the Nabarangpur district of Odisha. A multi-stage random sampling technique was used in the investigation and a total of 400 responses from farmer members were collected through a structured schedule. Statistical techniques like descriptive analysis, exploratory factor analysis, Pearson's correlation analysis have been used to test the hypotheses of the study. The results of study revealed that all the respondents are aware about the futures market and the two FPO offices are the major source of information on commodity futures market. The exploratory factor analysis discovered that the speculative trading information, spot and futures price discrepancy, minimal intervention of exchange officials for illegal transactions and insufficient contracts and delivery centres mainly obstruct participation of farmers in the futures market. Similarly, stable market for risk management, low transaction cost, availability of storage structure and structured financing with reasonable interest rate are the factors those motivate farmers to engage in the futures market. Finally, it is proved that the correlation between the problems faced by farmers for participating in the market for commodity futures and their respective socio-economic status is statistically insignificant. However, their socio-economic status is significantly correlated to the factors driving them to take part in the commodity futures market. The study's conclusions will undoubtedly provide guidance to lawmakers and regulators on how to proceed with significant changes aimed at enhancing farmers' involvement in the futures market through FPOs.

An Account on the Tribal Uprisings in Tripura (1860-1943): contemporary to the Freedom Movement in India.
Authors: - SUSMITA BANERJEE
Published: June 2024

During the British occupation, Tripura was a princely state that paid regular tribute to the British government. In 1871, the government appointed a political agent in the princely state of Tripura. However, the monarchs of Tripura not only encouraged planters from Noakhali and Chittagong to ensure a steady supply of cash from established farming, but they also desired Bengali people for administrative purposes. Furthermore, the monarchs encouraged Bengali farmers to inhabit forest tracts in their realm. Thus, the rulers harboured animosity against the non-indigenous, who were seen as 'outsiders' by the local indigenous since they took responsibility for their difficult predicament. The rulers of princely Tripura gradually began to encounter revolts from various tribal populations as royal officials attempted to levy massive taxes on them and reserve woods for the state capital. As a result, as the concept of nationalism was gaining traction in India and Indians revolted against British tyranny, indigenous communities in Tripura were also battling for their rights against British-supported royal authorities. My case study will provide insight on the causes and repercussions of Tripura's tribal uprisings, which also contributed to the transformation of the princely state's socioeconomic and political landscape.

Published: June 2024

The ceramic glaze method is not only done to add color aesthetics but also to increase the hardness of the glaze. Basalt is one of the raw materials developed as a ceramic glaze material because it is cheap, easy to find, and has good characteristics. This research aims to determine glaze characteristics by varying the concentration of basalt rocks from the Ababi area, Karangasem Regency, Bali Province. The experiment used basalt at 45%-61%, Feldspar 27%-37%, Kaolin 3%-8%, and ZnO 7%-10% as raw materials for glaze, not frit glaze. Heating the glaze material layer at 1,250 °C for 3 hrs. The product characteristics of glaze ceramics include chemical composition, crystal phase, microhardness, porosity, density, thermal expansion coefficient, and surface morphology. Basalt from Bali is characterized by its high Fe2O3 content, reaching 20.07 wt%. Compared to basalt in generally, it has a different impact on the physical and mechanical characteristics of the ceramic glaze produced. Based on the observation of ceramic glaze products, the glaze composition with 56% basalt, 32% feldspar, 5% kaolin, and 7% ZnO showed the best coating, with a yellowish-brown color and an average thickness of 79.82µm. The hardness value of the glaze layer is 6.5 GPa, exceeding the standard hardness value of glazes on the market. Glazed ceramics contain the minerals Gahnite (ZnAl2O4) and Coesite (SiO2), which can increase the hardness of the glaze. This research demonstrates the tremendous potential and added value of using basalt from Bali Province as a raw material for glazed ceramics.

Isti'arah is a pronunciation that is used inappropriately because of the 'alaqah in the form of imitation and the presence of qarinah that prevents from the original meaning. The principle of using isti'arah in the Qur'an aims to attract the attention of the listeners and readers of the Qur'an so that with the element of eloquence and the beauty of the words and meanings in it can touch the soul. This research focuses on how the isti'arah interpretation model of Ibn Asyur in Surah Yasin in the al-Tahrir wa al-Tanwir, as well as how he interprets the verses containing isti'arah in Surah Yasin, as well as the implications of the use of isti’arah on the interpretation of Ibn Asyur . The research method used is qualitative which leads to descriptive analysis, namely classifying verses that contain isti'arah and then explaining and analyzing their implications. The approach used is the balaghah science approach, precisely the science of parrots with data collection techniques through library research. From the results of the study it can be concluded that the interpretation model of Ibn Asyur's isti'arah includes three criteria, namely first, when interpreting the verse in the form of isti’rah, Ibn Asyur raises an explanation that the verse contains isti’?rah, either by using the word isti'arah or another sighat of isti'arah. Second, explain the type of isti'arah contained in the verse. Third, mention the meaning contained in the form of isti'arah in the verse. Then in Surah Yasin there are ten verses that contain isti'arah namely in the verse QS 8, 9, 11, 12, 29, 37, 52, 71, 74 and 78. The use of isti'arah in the Qur'an has implications for showing the superiority of the language of the Qur'an.
PEMBELAAN TERHADAP SAHIH AL-BUKHARI
Authors: Muhammad Muhammad
Published: June 2024

Artikel ini membahas kitab Taglig al-Ta’liq karya Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani yang berisi pembelaan terhadap Sahih al-Bukhari. Kitab Sahih al-Bukhari yang selalu dinarasikan sahih seluruh hadisnya ternyata tidak mutlak disepakati oleh sebagian ulama. Beberapa dari mereka melakukan telaah terhadap sejumlah hadis dalam Sahih al-Bukhari dan menghasilkan kesimpulan yang menyelisihi narasi kesahihan yang selama ini beredar. Secara khusus, terdapat tiga pertanyaan yang diajukan: pertama, apa saja kritik yang ditujukan pada Sahih al-Bukhari? Kedua, bagaimana Ibn Hajar membela Sahih al-Bukhari dari kritik yang ada? Ketiga, bagaimana implikasi dari pembelaan Ibn Hajar terhadap Sahih al-Bukhari? Dengan analisis kondensasi, penyajian, serta verifikasi data secara bersamaan, tulisan ini menunjukkan adanya kritik yang ditujukan pada Sahih al-Bukhari di abad pertengahan lebih ditekankan pada aspek kritik sanad yang memproblematisasi beberapa aspek seperti pribadi rawi, kredibilitas rawi, ketersambungan sanad, dan lain sebagainya. Pembelaan Ibn Hajar terhadap Sahih al-Bukhari cukup komprehensif sebab dapat diidentifikasi melalui kekayaan data dan argumentasinya, sehingga kitab Taglig al-Ta’liq  sendiri sangat referensial kaitannya dengan pembelaan terhadap Sahih al-Bukhari. Kehadiran kitab Taglig al-Ta’liq mampu mempertahankan otoritas hadis-hadis dalam Sahih al-Bukhari.
MENGKAJI QS. AL A'RAF AYAT 80-84 DENGAN PENDEKATAN MA'NA CUM MAGHZA SAHIROH SYAMSUDDIN
Authors: Hasibuan Alimuddin
Published: June 2024

Artikel ini akan membahas tentang makna pokok (maqasid al-syari’ah) mengenai LGBT, yang sampai saat ini masih menjadi perdebatan, tidak terkecuali di Indonesia. Pembahasannya bukan pada ranah normatif secara esensial tentang takdir Tuhan, namun akan dibawa dalam konteks universalitas al-Qur’an. Yang menjadi fokus utama dalam artikel ini adalah Q.S. al-A’raf ayat 80-84, menggunakan pendekatan ma’na cum maghza Sahiron Syamsuddin, dengan munasabah beberapa ayat yang membahas mengenai kisah Nabi Luth. Bagi peneliti, ada beberapa hal penting yang perlu dibahas terlebih dahulu, pertama, bahwa di dalam al-Qur’an, hanya terdapat kisah tentang liwath (hubungan sesama laki-laki), sedangkan sekarang ditemui ada beberapa kejadian tentang hubungan sesama perempuan (lesbi), menyukai dua gender sekaligus (biseksual), dan kecenderungan perilaku gender yang tidak sesuai dengan keadaan fisik (transgender). Kedua, untuk membahas mengenai bagaimana cara untuk merespon hal tersebut, karena jika melihat soal hasrat seksual yang murni dari Tuhan, tentu tidak ada yang bisa menolak, artinya, hal itu adalah sebuah keniscayaan. Sedangkan, hal semacam itu nampaknya banyak ditemui di masa sekarang. Walhasil, jika LGBT dipahami hanya sebatas seperti yang tertuang dalam kisah Nabi Luth, tentu sudah final. Namun, dalam artikel ini, akan mencoba membahas lebih universal.
PELESTARIAN DAN PERKEMBANGAN NAGHAM AL-QURAN
Authors: Lukita Jimmy
Published: June 2024

Nagham merupakan istilah dalam seni membaca al-Quran. Nagham semakin menunjukkan eksistensinya di tengah masyarakat muslim Indonesia. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan pelbagai pagelaran Musabaqah Tilawatil Quran (MTQ) yang selalu meriah setiap tahunnya. Banyak lembaga hingga instansi yang kini menjadikan nagham sebagai salah satu brandmark unggulan. Salah satunya adalah pondok pesantren Al-Quran Baitul Qurra di Tangerang Selatan. Bisa dikatakan hampir setiap harinya mereka mempelajari nagham al-Quran. Bukan lagi sebagai program pendukung, melainkan program utama yang menjadi banyak alasan para santri memondokkan dirinya di tempat tersebut. Lantas bagaimana para santri memandang dan memaknai nagham tersebut? Apa yang membuat mereka tertarik akan nagham?. Penelitian ini berjenis kualitatif, dan data yang didapat diperoleh dari studi kepustakaan (library research) dan studi lapangan. Kemudian penelitian ini diolah dengan pendekatan fenomenologi. Alhasil penulis mendapatkan bahwa nagham tidak hanya senandung semata. Arti praktik nagham dalam pembacaan al-Quran lebih dari sekedar keindahan. Berlatih nagham setiap hari menjadikan suatu kebiasaan baik, renungan, dan memperkuat daya ingat (hafalan). Para santri membawa harum banyak nama ketika melantunkan al-Quran dengan keindahan nagham yang dipelajari.
The Role of Exercise on Sleep Quality: An Observational Study in the Medical Student Community in Jakarta, Indonesia
Authors: Muhammad Naufal Razaan  , Lontoh Susy Olivia
Published: June 2024

Optimal sleep quality is very important for the health and academic performance of medical students. However, high academic demands often cause lack of sleep and sleep disorders. Exercise has been shown to have a positive effect on sleep quality in the general population, but research on the role of exercise on sleep quality in medical students is still limited. This study aims to identify the relationship between the level of physical activity (exercise) and sleep quality among medical students in Jakarta. This cross-sectional observational study involved 350 medical students from various universities in Jakarta. Physical activity data was collected using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), while sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the relationship between physical activity and sleep quality, by controlling for confounding variables such as age, gender and stress level. The results showed that medical students who were physically active had a lower risk of experiencing sleep disorders compared to students who were less active. Logistic regression analysis showed that moderate to vigorous physical activity was significantly associated with better sleep quality (OR = 0.56; 95% CI: 0.35-0.88; p = 0.012). Exercise has an important role in improving sleep quality in medical students. Exercise-based interventions may be an effective strategy to address sleep problems in this population.
Role of cholesterol homeostasis in MASH-driven hepatocellular carcinoma: not just a neutral fat
Authors: Ribas Vicent
Published: June 2024

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer and its death rate is rising faster than that of any other cancer, while we still lack effective treatments. The increasing incidence of liver cancer in western countries is closely associated with the growing prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) linked to metabolic diseases. While the contribution of lipids in the progression of MASH pathogenesis and its progression to HCC is well recognized, the specific contribution of cholesterol is subject to controversy. The liver plays a central role in cholesterol metabolism, where the majority of its biosynthesis, storage, excretion, recycling, and conversion into bile acids occur. Moreover, cholesterol is implicated in numerous hepatocyte cellular processes, encompassing endoplasmic reticulum function, formation of lipid microdomains in the plasma membrane, metabolism of lipoproteins, and mitochondrial function and performance. Therefore, it is not surprising that cholesterol plays key roles in initiation, promotion, and survival of HCC cells and there are several lines of evidence pointing to that cancer cells are subverting cholesterol metabolism to foster their proliferation and survival through various mechanisms. This narrative review provides a concise overview of the physiological and pathological roles of cholesterol in the transition from healthy hepatocytes to HCC, in the context of MASH. Gaining further understanding of how hepatic cancer cells disrupt cholesterol homeostasis and how these perturbations impact cancer progression will facilitate the identification of novel and more effective cancer treatment strategies in this complex and devastating disease.

This study aimed to determine maternal and fetal causes and risk factors associated with stillbirth. A descriptive retrospective study was performed, with data retrieved from files from January 2019 to December 2019. During the study period, 229 intrauterine fetal deaths were recorded out of 5,372 births, with the age groups 26–30, 31–35, and 36–40 accounting for the majority of stillbirth cases, 27.1, 21, and 14.4%, respectively. According to gravidity, about 34% of women were multigravida and 19.6% were primigravida. The majority of the cases of intrauterine fetal death were documented between the ages of 36-40, 31-35, and 25-30 weeks, with rates of 31.4, 27.5, and 20.1 %, respectively. Regarding birth weight, the highest percentage of less than normal birth weight was 65.5%. Fresh stillbirth was about three times higher than macerated stillbirth, with 78.2%. Prematurity remained significantly associated with stillbirth with 24.9%, multiple pregnancy (multigravida) with 16.6%, and primigravida with 11%, while pre-eclampsia, severe anemia, and gestational diabetes represented 9.6, 7.9, and 7%, respectively. In conclusion, stillbirth is associated with common causes and risk factors such as prematurity, preeclampsia, severe anemia, gestational diabetes, multiple, and some unidentified causes of pregnancy, which have increased in presence, lack booked of antenatal care, low resources in rural hospitals, and lack of mother education regarding intrauterine fetal death (IUFD). Efforts must be made to encourage pregnant women to schedule antenatal care to detect and determine the most common causes and risk factors of stillbirth since this information could aid in the development of strategies to avoid future stillbirths.
