Introduction and objectives: Burnout syndrome (BOS) is seen amongst Medical students which leads to chronic stress and need coping mechanisms to overcome it. This study aims to determine the prevalence of BOS, associated factors and coping strategies adopted by students of the Faculty of Medicine, Jaffna. Methodology: This descriptive cross sectional institutional based study was carried out among first to fourth year medical students. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. BOS was measured using the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (Student version)1. Data was entered and analysed using SPSS version 26. Chi Squared was used to assess the associated factors. Ethical clearance was obtained from the Faculty of Medicine, Jaffna. Results: A total of 561 were considered and the response rate was 81%(455). Male Female ratio was 1:1.5. BOS was seen in 381(83.7%), 86.3% were females, 88.5% were Sinhalese and 88.8% lived in hostels. A total of 104(86.0%) had English difficulties, 85%(239) felt homesick, 84.3% spent <2hours in leisure activities and 86.6% missed main meals. BOS was significantly associated with year of study(p=0.048), performance at examination(p=0.019), Use of social media(p=0.021), dietary habits(p=0.027) and interaction with teachers(p=0.032). The coping strategies were being positive(88.1%), getting advice(75.6%), listening to music(77%), finding comfort in religious activities(77.4%) and getting emotional support(77.9%). Keeping feelings to one’s self and solving problems alone(54.5%) were commonly reported avoidant strategies. Conclusion: BOS among medical students is seen and some groups are more vulnerable. Year of study, performance at examination, dietary habits, use of social media and interaction with teachers contributed to the BOS.

Published: August 2020

Risk estimation and prophylactic treatment of maternal morbidity and mortality due to thromboembolism through a standard formal VTE risk assessment tool with numerical scoring is more effective in clinical decision making and management than not using a scoring system. This study was designed to assess the risk factors and prospectively measure the uptake of pharmacological prophylaxis for postpartum VTE before and after introducing a standard risk assessment scoring tool. MethodsThe study was conducted in 200 postpartum women aged 18–39 without randomization. They were prospectively followed before and after introduction of a standard formal venous thromboembolism risk assessment tool with numerical scoring. Individual risk scoring and the uptake of pharmacological prophylaxis for venous thromboembolism were analysed descriptively. Data was collected from the postpartum mothers’ case notes in the postnatal ward without interfering the clinical practice of the ward. ResultsOf the 100 postpartum mothers 43 were entitled for postpartum pharmacological prophylaxis for venous thromboembolism and of them 19% (8/43) were treated with enoxaparin when a risk assessment tool with numerical scoring was not used. This uptake rate was 74% (29/39) among the subsequent 100 postpartum mothers after a risk assessment tool with numerical scoring was introduced which was statistically significant. This significant improvement of the uptake of pharmacological prophylaxis was mainly observed in the group which scored 2 points than who scored ≥3 during the risk scoring. Among the 82 postpartum women who were entitled for pharmacological prophylaxis for postpartum VTE parity of ≥3 was the single most common risk factor being 40% and the elective and emergency caesarean section being 32% and 26%. ConclusionUptake rate of pharmacological prophylaxis for postpartum VTE in mothers can be significantly improved by using a standard risk assessment tool rather than using clinical judgement alone.

Published: August 2020

This study ascertained information needs of rice farmers on inorganic fertilizer use. One hundred and twenty rice farmers purposively selected from Ebonyi State, Nigeria constituted sample for the study. An interview schedule was used to collect data while percentage, mean scores and factor analysis were used for data analysis. Findings indicated that the majority (92.5%) of the respondents obtained information on inorganic fertilizer use from families and friends, all (100%) the respondents obtained fertilizer from the markets while 98.4% had no training on inorganic fertilizer use. Important areas that respondents required information on inorganic fertilizer use for rice production were on how to get fertilizer easily (x̄ =1.89), how to detect good or bad fertilizer (x̄=1086) among others. Institutional, technical, logistic and health constraints limited the farmers from using inorganic fertilizer in rice production. Provision of fertilizer subsidy by government (99.2%) and increase in accessibility of fertilizer by farmers (98.3%) were some of the strategies for improving inorganic fertilizer use on rice production. Extension should furnish farmers with information and training on where to get good fertilizer easily and how to use them in rice production.

Published: August 2020

This study assessed division of labour in rice production and processing across gender in Ogun state, Nigeria. Multistage sampling procedure was used in sampling 120 rice farmers who are both producers and processors. Primary data were obtained from the respondents with the use of structured interview schedule. Data were analysed using frequency, percentage, charts, mean and t-test statistic. The findings revealed that, in rice production; clearing of farm land (90.0%), de-stumping/packing (98.3%), and tilling of land (98.3%) were mainly carried out by men while women were more involved in activities such as planting (52.5%), weeding (50.8%), bird scaring (69.%), harvesting and packing (74.2%). In rice processing; men performed major activities in milling (95.8%), de-stoning (95.0%) and transportation (91.6%) while women were more involved in threshing (84.2%), sun drying (80.9%), and winnowing (87.5%). The result of t- test showed that, there was significant differences in the average quantity of rice (kg) produced by men and women in year 2012 (t=3.930; p≤0.05), 2013 (t=4.748; p≤0.05), 2014 (t=3.570; p≤0.05) and 2016 (t=3.096); p≤0.05) but there was no significant difference between the average rice produced by men and women (t=0.308; p>0.05) in year 2015. Interventions to address the rice production and processing in major energy require activities (like clearing, milling) should be tailored towards men while low energy activities (like planting, harvesting, marketing) interventions should be tailored towards women in order to enhance high productivity and quality processing.

Neonatal Mortality and Maternal/Child Health Care in Nigeria: An Impact Analysis
Authors: Ewere F. , Eke D.O. 
Published: August 2020

Reducing the rate of mortality in neonates to as low as 12 per 1,000 live births is one of the clearly spelt out aims of the third tenet of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) because of its importance to the dynamics of population. While there have been various studies focused majorly on the causes, rates and determinants of neonatal mortality in Nigeria, studies on the impact of maternal/child care characteristics on neonatal mortalityand the potential implication of failing to attain the SDG target for neonatal mortality have seemingly been neglected. In this study, we undertake an analysis of the impact of maternal / child care characteristics on neonatal mortality using the logistic regression model. Results from the study showed that antenatal care (P-value = 0.000, odds ratio = 0.546 for women who visited the hospital during pregnancy on more than 5 occasions), post natal care (P-value = 0.004, odds ratio = 0.402 for women who received early neonatal care from skilled medical personnel), place ofdelivery (P-value = 0.000, odds ratio = 0.592 for babies that were delivered in a government hospital) and skill of birth attendant (P-value = 0.000, odds ratio = 0.706 for babies who were delivered by trained doctors/nurses/midwives) had significant impact on neonatal mortality at the 95% confidence level implying that improved maternal health care: before, during and immediately after delivery as well as the quality of care to motherand child are both important and necessary to the reduction of neonatal mortality in Nigeria. To achieve the sustainable development target for neonatal mortality, it is therefore recommended that stake holders in the public health sector improve the quality of existing health care facilities and access to quality services.

Published: August 2020

This study investigated the effect of organic alternative scouring agents on structure of cotton/polyester blend fabric. A structural modification for a cellulose/polyester blend has been carried out using (COOH)2, CH3COOH and CH3CH2OH alternative scouring agents and NaOH was used as control. The scoured fabrics were then subjected to structural analysis using X-ray diffraction in order to expose the possible modifications on the pretreated fabrics. The samples showed possibilities of being highly competitive with the conventional agent. These inferences were drawn from the difference in the crystallinity index of scoured samples (10.10-60.03%), the crystallite size of scoured samples (6-9 nm) in the crystalline region (6-11 nm), in the amorphous region, inter-planar spacing of the scoured samples (0.340-0.350 nm) of the crystalline region and (0.360-0.390 nm) of the amorphous region of sample and number of crystalline planes of the scoured sample is (3-10) of the cellulose/polyester blend fabric samples via X-ray diffraction studies.

Tourism has established new opportunities for the female gender through generating and propagating independence and income, particularly in developing countries and rural communities. This study identifies socio-demographic characteristics, employment status and women empowerment initiatives at Idanre Hills, Ondo State, Nigeria. The study employed the use of structured questionnaire targeted randomly at 120 women residents of Idanre community. Data collected was analyzed using SPSS version 21 and results were presented descriptively; through charts, percentage tables and inferentially; through chi square. Results indicated that majority of the women are within age group of 36-45 years (36.7%) and have secondary education (50.8%). Also, highest percentage of the women are not employed by the ministry of tourism (89.2%) while majority of the women employed are cleaners (46.67%). The women are majorly basic food sellers (38.3%) at the tourism destination and this forms their role in tourism activities there. Furthermore, there is a significant relationship between employment status and socio-demographic characteristics of the women (p<0.05). Women are presently under-utilized and underempowered and should be involved more in core tourism activities at Idanre Hills.

As Estruturas Aditivas e a Aprendizagem da Matemática: uma atividade analisada à luz da Teoria dos Campos Conceituais
Authors: Meier Wander Mateus Branco , Rodrigues Carla Larissa , Paixão Fabrícia de Carvalho 
Published: August 2020

O processo de conceitualização das estruturas aditivas, realizado por meio da Teoria dos Campos Conceituais, nos auxilia a compreender como os estudantes constroem os conhecimentos matemáticos. Este trabalho objetivou analisar o enunciado de problemas e as produções dos alunos frente a uma atividade aplicada a 46 alunos de 2º e 4º anos do Ensino Fundamental. Os resultados evidenciam que os alunos apresentam dificuldades de interpretação dos problemas quando os enunciados são semanticamente incongruentes. A estratégia de resolução mais utilizada pelos alunos do 2º ano foi o desenho e, pelos alunos do 4º ano, o registro numérico. Alguns erros foram frequentes, tais como: de contagem, relacionados ao valor posicional e relacionados à operação inversa. Espera-se que esta pesquisa conduza os professores de matemática do Ensino Fundamental a perceberem a importância de contemplar as diferentes classes de situações-problema, que possibilitam a interpretação de enunciados semanticamente incongruentes e estratégias diferenciadas de resolução.

Đề tài nghiên cứu nhằm làm rõ được thực trạng sử dụng đất và sinh kế của người dân tái định cư để có cơ sở đề xuất giải pháp bố trí đất đai hợp lý cho việc phát triển sinh kế của người dân tái định cư thủy điện Bình Điền. Các phương pháp nghiên cứu đã sử dụng bao gồm: điều tra thu thập số liệu thứ cấp, sơ cấp; phỏng vấn chuyên gia và người am hiểu thông tin; phỏng vấn hộ gia đình; phỏng vấn sâu và phương pháp xử lý số liệu. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thầy việc di dân, tái định cư trong xây dựng thủy điện vừa đem lại những tác động tích cực như người dân tiếp cận cơ sở hạ tầng tốt và dịch vụ tốt hơn, nhưng khó khăn lớn nhất của đồng bào dân tộc thiểu số bị di dời là khôi phục và phát triển sản xuất thời kỳ hậu tái định cư khi mà đất đai mà người dân có thể tiếp cận rất ít hơn rất nhiều so với nơi ở cũ, đặc biệt là đất sản xuất nông nghiệp. Theo ý kiến của người dân tái định cư, ckhông phù hợp với các loại cây trồng truyền thống như sắn địa phương, lúa nương, ngô địa phương, và cây ăn quả có múi. Bài học kinh nghiệm là cần phải tính toán giao quỹ đất sản xuất trước khi di dời nếu không sau khi tái định cư hầu hết các hộ gia đình không được giao thêm đất sản xuất do quỹ đất này hiện nay đã giao ổn định cho cá nhân, tổ chức khác. Cần có chương trình đào tạo nghề và chuyển đổi nghề nghiệp cho thanh niên để thích ứng với điều kiện sống khi về nơi ở mới tại khu tái định cư tập trung.
ABSTRACT
The research project aims to clarify the current land use and livelihoods of resettled people for proposing reasonable land allocation solutions to the livelihood development of resettled people for the construction of Binh Dien hydropower. The research methods used the secondary and primary data collection survey; interviews of experts and key information people; household interviews; In-depth interviews and data processing methods. Research results showed that the displacement and resettlement in hydroelectricity construction have brought about positive impacts such as people have better access to infrastructure and better services, but the biggest difficulty of the displaced ethnic minorities is to restore and develop agricultural production in the post-resettlement period when the land that people can access is much less than the old place, especially agricultural land. The soil quality is not compatible with traditional crops such as local cassava, upland rice, local maize, and citrus. Lesson learned is that it is necessary to calculate the allocation of productive land fund before relocating otherwise after relocation most of the households are not allocated an additional productive land because this land fund is now being allocated stably to other individuals and companies. It is necessary for young people to have vocational transition training programs to adapt to living conditions at the new places in concentrated resettlement areas.
