The Phenomenon of School Dropouts in the Pujut, Mandalika SEZ: An Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis from the Perspective of Education Actors and Society

The development of the Mandalika Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Pujut district, while driving economic growth, has raised concerns about declining school interest and high dropout rates among local students. This qualitative study, employing interpretive phenomenological methods, explores the experiences and perceptions of education actors, including the vice principal for student affairs, counseling guidance teachers, Mongge madrasah teachers, and the Head of Sukadana Village, to understand the underlying factors. Findings reveal economic constraints as a primary cause of dropout, with many students from low-income families unable to afford education. Early marriage, particularly among female students, is another significant factor influenced by economic, social, and cultural pressures. Additionally, broken homes, unsupportive social environments, the negative influence of social media, and a lack of motivation contribute to the problem. Schools have responded with counseling, parental engagement, and restrictions on mobile phone use. However, deeper issues like early marriage and broken homes necessitate broader interventions involving government policies and socio-cultural change. This research illuminates the complexity of school dropout in the Mandalika SEZ and highlights the need for a comprehensive approach engaging all stakeholders to ensure educational access and success for all students.

Changes in 24-hour blood pressure profile after 12 weeks of dapagliflozin treatment in patients with diabetic kidney disease: an Italian multicenter prospective study.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) lower ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus; whether the same holds true in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is unknown. This information is critical to the knowledge of mechanisms of nephroprotection and safety of this therapy. This multicenter prospective study evaluates the changes in ABP after 12weeks of dapagliflozin 10mg/day in a cohort of patients with type 2 DKD and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) >25mL/min/1.73 m2. Primary endpoint was the change of nighttime systolic blood pressure (SBP). Changes of daytime SBP, prevalence of normal dipping (day/night SBP ratio <0.9) and changes in ABP patterns, that is, sustained uncontrolled hypertension (SUCH), white coat uncontrolled hypertension (WUCH), masked uncontrolled hypertension (MUCH) and controlled hypertension (CH) were secondary endpoints. Eighty-three of 96 patients completed the study [age 68.7±8.9 years, 73.5% males, GFR 49±17mL/min/1.73 m2, median albuminuria: 0.18 (interquartile range 0.10-0.38) g/24h]. After 12weeks of dapagliflozin, nighttime SBP declined by -3.0mmHg (95% confidence interval -5.2/-0.8mmHg; P=.010) with an improvement of nighttime SBP goal (<110mmHg) from 18.0% to 27.0% (P<.001). Similarly, the prevalence of normal dipping increased (from 31.3% to 50.6%, P=.005). A decrease in daytime (-2.4mmHg; P=.046) and office (-7.9mmHg; P=.009) SBP was also found. The decline of ambulatory and office SBP was associated with increased prevalence of CH (from 6.0% to 18.0%) and significant improvement of SUCH, WUCH and MUCH (P=.009). Albuminuria decreased (P<.001), whereas eGFR did not change (P=.297). Urinary tract infection (4.2%) and acute kidney injury (3.6%) were the main causes of drop-out. Only one patient showed a drop of nighttime SBP below 90mmHg. Dapagliflozin is associated with improvement in circadian blood pressure rhythm with no major safety signal related to excessive blood pressure decrease.

A MERN based Web Application for Analysing Student Dropout

The technological advancement has led to the rapid changes in education system, enhancing the student’s engagement and improving personalized education. However, one major challenge that is faced by the school is students leaving before completing their courses. The proposed system aims to address this issue by identifying the various factors that lead to the student dropouts. The user-friendly website developed in the proposed work allows both students and educational institutions to provide the reasons for student dropouts. The system is designed to analyse the collected data, extract valuable information, and identify hidden patterns. These insights are then presented as visuals, such as charts and graphs, to help better understand the underlying causes of dropouts. The primary objective of the proposed system, developed using MERN, is to create a more inclusive and supportive learning environment that focuses on both student academic achievement and safety. Ultimately, this system aims to reduce dropout rates and improve access to quality education for all students, regardless of their background or circumstances.

Causes of Dropout in Higher Education: An Analysis of Student Dropouts in Bachelor of Education from Marsyangdi Multiple Campus

Student dropout in higher education institutions (HEIs) is a serious problem in many developed and developing countries including Nepal. According to the University Grants Commission (UGC) report, many campuses are at risk and have a few number of students due to the high dropout rate. This paper aims to analyse student dropout in B.Ed. programme at Marsyangdi Multiple Campus (MMC) and explores the main causes of high dropouts with some measuring strategies to mitigate the problem. Following a quantitative survey through telephone interviews with 30 dropout students, I collected information and analysed it thematically in a narrative way. The findings of the study revealed that 65.47% of students left the campus before completing their degree. The study explored the major causes of high dropouts related to four indicators such as student, institutional, family, and community. Most of the students left their studies due to financial constraints, socioeconomic factors, institutional insufficiency, employment opportunities, study abroad, and early marriage and early pregnancy. The findings of the study apply to reducing the increasing number of dropouts from the university and other similar campuses. In addition to this, it implies formulating higher education policy and reforming the HEIs as per the demands of the time.

Analysing the dropout patterns of individual children in Nepal: relationship between school dropout and grade repetition/entrance age

PurposeUsing longitudinal data of children in Nepal, this study examines the relationships between dropouts, grade repetition and the causes of dropout, such as entrance age, to derive concrete recommendations to improve the basic education completion rates in Nepal, one of the targets of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4).Design/methodology/approachThe data for this study were drawn from school records kept in the target schools, home visit surveys and interviews with principals and teachers. After comparing the repetition experience and the frequency of repetitions between graduates and dropouts, the study analysed the dropout patterns of individual children. The study then examined the effects of repetition and entrance age on children’s schooling.FindingsThe results identified a large group of children who dropped out of school without any repetition, with only 15.9% of the children repeating a grade immediately before dropping out. The findings indicated that harsh family environments, being overage and low educational expectations were factors in sudden dropout.Originality/valueCollecting longitudinal data is difficult in developing countries, and few studies use such data. The question of access to education has been re-ignited by the COVID-19 pandemic; this study used longitudinal data to thoroughly analyse children’s dropout patterns and provide specific recommendations that will contribute to the achievement of SDG4.

Study on Dropout Rate of Tribal Female Secondary School Students

Education is a highly fundamental prerequisite for human progress. Education is essential for both individual and national growth. India has the largest tribal population. However, many underprivileged Indian tribes are still unable to complete their education. Dropout is a major problem in the globalised educational system. The present study has a significant role to study the dropout rate of female tribal students linked with the casuses. The simple random sample technique was adopted for the selection of the sample from five secondary schools of Nilgiri Block of Balasore District odisha. The present study had made a questionnaire, interview schedule and focus group discussion to collect data by descriptive survey method. The result highlighted that the total ST Girls dropout rate is 36.8%. The highest rate of dropout appeared in class-ix and lowest in class x. The causes of dropouts were categorized under socio-economic, academic and personal causes.

Reasons for school dropouts in suburban areas near Villupuram district: A retrospective study

Abstract Background: When a student leaves school or a college before completing their academic program, they are referred to as dropouts. A school dropout is anyone who does not receive their high school diploma. It is a serious issue that impacts students all over and can have negative outcomes in their lives. In general, those who struggle to engage behaviorally and/or academically drop out of school. Hence, we have chosen this study to find various reasons behind student dropouts in sub-urban areas of schools covered under Koliyanur block, Villupuram district. The objectives of this study were to determine the proportion and reasons for dropouts among school students in Koliyanur block, Villupuram district. Materials and Methods: It was a record-based retrospective study done among school students (1st–12th standard) who dropped out of school in July 2022. The secondary data on school dropouts (government and private) in the Koliyanur block of Villupuram district were obtained from the Chief Educational Officer of Villupuram. Out of 148 government and private schools, 36 schools had dropouts which were included in the study. Results: The prevalence of school dropouts among 36 schools was found to be 64 students. Migration, lack of interest, poverty, and lack of awareness remained the most common causes of dropouts in government schools, and fees not paid being the reason in private schools. Conclusion: Evidence generated from this study can aid education planners in the early identification of various reasons for school dropouts and take appropriate measures for their reduction.

PEMODELAN GEOGRAPHICALLY WEIGHTED REGRESSION TERHADAP FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG MEMPENGARUHI ANGKA PUTUS SEKOLAH MENENGAH KEJURUAN DI PROVINSI SUMATERA UTARA

The proportion of kids who are of school age but are no longer enrolled or did not complete their education at a certain level is known as the dropout rate. The majority of dropouts are from vocational high schools. One of the reasons why students leave school is because the causes of dropouts are not accurately identified. This issue persists in the field of education. One issue with geographic heterogeneity is dropout. the development of geographical effects or spatial heterogeneity as a result of variations in each region's features and the connection between their distances. Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) is one technique for analyzing spatially heterogeneous issues. The fixed kernel's weighting function and the adaptive kernel's weighting function in this research are both gaussian. The goal of this research was to choose the most appropriate model to utilize for the GWR model on the variables influencing the dropout rate for vocational high schools in North Sumatra Province. For each North Sumatra district or city, a distinct model is generated by this study. As compared to the multiple linear regression model with Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and the GWR model with fixed kernel weighting function gaussian, the GWR model with the adaptive weighting function of the gaussian kernel is the best model used to model the factors that influence the dropout rate for vocational high schools in North Sumatra Province. This is because it has the smallest AIC value of 321.7397 and the highest of 0.9756.

Evolution of perceptions of motivational climates in youth soccer development and a comparison of opinions between families and players

Motivation is one of the general variables with the greatest influence on behaviour, making it essential to understand the perspectives of various stakeholders as well as the theories that examine it. Furthermore, it stands as one of the primary causes of dropout in adolescent sports participation. The primary objective of this research is to ascertain the assessment of the motivational climate from both players and families in youth football development categories. Specific objectives include validating whether the adaptation of the SMS and AGSYS questionnaires yields congruent results, comparing the perspectives of families and players regarding the motivational climate, and finally, examining the opinions and evolution of the motivational climate among players across different age categories. The sample consisted of 143 individuals from the top-tier teams in youth development stages at the Cuarte Sports Club (Zaragoza, Spain). Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed using the SPSS 22.0 statistical software. The findings indicate that the adaptation of both questionnaires does not measure the same constructs, significant differences exist in the opinions of families and players, and lastly, cadet-level players demonstrate distinct opinions in comparison to other age categories.

The number of hepatocellular carcinoma foci as predictor of poor response to tumor-directed therapies in patients awaiting liver transplantation: a prospective cohort study.

Tumor-directed therapies (TDTs) are a constitutive part of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment in patients awaiting liver transplantation (LT). While most patients benefit from TDTs as a bridge to LT, some patients drop out from the waiting list due to tumor progression. The study aimed to determine the risk factors for poor treatment outcome following TDTs among patients with HCC awaiting LT. A total of 123 patients with HCC were evaluated with 92 patients meeting Milan Criteria enrolled in the prospective cohort study. Tumor response was evaluated using the modified Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors for HCC 1 month after the procedure. The risk factors for progressive disease (PD) and dropout were evaluated. After TDT, 55 patients (59.8%) achieved complete or partial response (44.6% and 15.2% respectively), 17 patients (18.5%) had stable disease, and 20 patients (21.7%) were assessed as PD. Multivariate analysis revealed a significant and independent association between the number of HCC foci and PD ( P = 0.03, OR = 2.68). There was no statistically significant association between treatment response and demographics, MELDNa score, pre-and post-treatment alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), cumulative tumor burden the largest tumor size, or TDT modality. PD was the major cause of dropout in our cohort. Pre-treatment AFP levels ≥200 ng/ml had a strong association with dropout after TDTs ( P = 0.0005). This study demonstrated the presence of multifocal HCC is the sole prognostic factor for PD following TDTs in HCC patients awaiting LT. We recommend prioritizing patients with multifocal HCC within Milan criteria by exception points for LT to improve the dropout rate.

Causes of dropout from health insurance program: An experience from Lumbini Province, Nepal

The Health Insurance Program (HIP) in Nepal is experiencing low enrolment and high dropout rates, but the causes of these issues have remained unknown. This study aimed to explore the causes of dropouts of the HIP implemented by the Health Insurance Board, Nepal.We employed an exploratory qualitative research design. We purposefully selected the informants for the data collection who had previously enrolled and currently not renewed their insurance scheme. We gathered qualitative information from 16 in-depth interviews, four key informant interviews, and four focus group discussion in Palpa and Bardia Districts of Lumbini Province, Nepal. The qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis.We identified two major themes and nine drop-out-related sub-themes. These were: unnecessary health insurance; negligence to renew; unable to pay the contribution amount; poor cooperation between institutions as well as insurees and insurers; limited coverage and ceiling amount; rigid processes to receive health services; health professionals' behaviors; poor quality healthcare services; inadequate information. Dropout-related factors were associated with personal or individual factors and institutional or policy-related (process-related) factors. The major causes/reasons for dropout include lengthy procedures, poor quality and unsatisfactory services, a lack of knowledge on health insurance norms and procedures, and health professionals' behavior towards insurees during treatment.Information, education, and communication programs related to health insurance are still necessary to make the insurees familiar with the insurance systems and its processes. These factors could be taken into account by policymakers while planning interventions to minimize the low enrollment and high dropout.

Causes of Non-Adherence to Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy: A Foundation towards a Patient-Personalized Approach.

Allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) is the only disease-modifying therapy for allergic conditions, resulting in a long-lasting tolerance beyond the duration of the treatment. Due to the strong relationship between the effectiveness, its optimal duration (at least three years) and the observation of the correct administration protocol, appropriate adherence to the plan of treatment represents a critical factor for the therapeutical success of AIT. Analysis of studies about the rate of adherence in subcutaneous and sublingual immunotherapy, which are the main routes of administration of AIT. There are different causes leading to a premature interruption of the therapy or to it being incorrectly carried out; the most reported include erroneous expectations of the effectiveness and the adverse effects, economic issues, inconvenience and unrelated clinical conditions. An attentive analysis of the main causes of dropouts may be useful to improve the management of these patients and to develop new strategies for a personalized approach. These strategies should be dynamic, involving attentive communication between the physician and the patient about all the possible criticalities, especially in the initial phase of the therapy, and facilitating, as much as possible, access to healthcare providers over the course of the maintenance phase, including by exploiting technological tools.

Academic and social integration and their relation to dropping out of teacher education: a comparison to other study programs

IntroductionAcademic and social integration have been identified as key predictors of the decision to drop out by higher education students. So far, there is limited knowledge about whether there are differences in the degree of integration between teacher education students and students in other academic programs, although these differences might affect the decision-making process of students and their likelihood of dropping out. Furthermore, it is still unclear if the reasons for students dropping out of teacher education programs differ from those in other academic programs.MethodsThis study aims to address this research gap by examining integration and dropout rates of 8,237 students who were studying to become teachers, compared to students in similar fields of study in German higher education. The data for the study were collected from the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS).ResultsThe results revealed significant differences between teacher education students and other students in peer and faculty social integration, but not in normative and structural academic integration. However, no moderation effect of the teacher education program on the association of integration and dropout was found.DiscussionThe findings contribute to the discussion on causes of dropout in teacher education by showing higher values in peer social integration and lower values in faculty social integration for teacher education students. These results complement previous research by providing new findings on the causes of students’ decision to drop out of initial teacher education. Practical implications on how to increase retention in teacher education programs are discussed.

The deficient factual basis of the main explanatory models of dropout in higher education

In the last 40 years in much of the western world dropout rates in higher education have remained almost unchanged. Although student retention seems to be the most studied and discussed aspect, nearly every empirical study on the causes of dropout in higher education and even more the impact of retention actions carried out by universities, in most cases have achieved modest results. This paper argues that this fact finds its explanation, to a certain extent, in the nature of the methodological approaches and factual supports of the empirical studies that most of those actions were based on. In this regard, there are strong arguments and empirical evidence that reveal the deficient nature of the factual basis of the most accepted models, theorizations and measurements on dropout in higher education. Among them are those that underlie the models proposed in 2012 by Vincent Tinto and Adam Seidman, the two main current references on the subject. The most significant questions point to the low reliability of the inferences produced from the application of surveys, especially the national survey of student engagement, very recurrently applied throughout the western world in empirical studies on dropout in higher education.

A Technology-Supported Guidance Model to Support the Development of Critical Thinking Among Undergraduate Nursing Students in Clinical Practice: Concurrent, Exploratory, Flexible, and Multimethod Feasibility Study.

There is widespread recognition and acceptance of the need for critical thinking in nursing education, as it is necessary to provide high-quality nursing. The Technology-Supported Guidance Model (TSGM) intervention was conducted during clinical practice among undergraduate nursing students and aimed to support the development of critical thinking. A major element of this newly developed intervention is an app, Technology-Optimized Practice Process in Nursing (TOPP‑N), combined with the daily guidance of nursing students from nurse preceptors and summative assessments based on the Assessment of Clinical Education. The main objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of a newly developed intervention, TSGM, among undergraduate nursing students, nurse preceptors, and nurse educators. Further objectives were to assess the primary and secondary outcome measures, recruitment strategy, and data collection strategy and to identify the potential causes of dropout and barriers to participant recruitment, retention, intervention fidelity, and adherence to the intervention. This study was designed as a concurrent, exploratory, flexible, and multimethod feasibility study of the TSGM intervention that included quantitative and qualitative data from nursing students, nurse preceptors, and nurse educators. The primary outcome measures were the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention. The secondary outcomes included the suitability and acceptance of the outcome measures (critical thinking, self-efficacy, clinical learning environment, metacognition and self-regulation, technology acceptance, and competence of mentors); data collection strategy; recruitment strategy; challenges related to dropouts; and hindrances to recruitment, retention, and intervention fidelity and adherence. Nursing students, nurse preceptors, and nurse educators had varied experiences with the TSGM intervention. We identified factors that make the intervention feasible and challenging and may influence the feasibility, acceptability, dropout rate, adherence, and fidelity of the intervention. We also identified areas for future improvement of the intervention. The use of a newly developed intervention, TSGM, is feasible and accepted by undergraduate nursing students, nurse preceptors, and nurse educators; however, refinement and improvement of the intervention and the TOPP‑N app, improvement in intervention management, and mitigation of negative factors are necessary before a randomized controlled trial can be performed.

Place of residence and coach-athlete relationship predictdrop-out from competitivecross-country skiing.

The current study investigated whether factors such as living residence, the coach-athlete working alliance, goal orientation, and intrinsic motivation could explain drop-out, and whether these factors differed between athletes included in the elite- vs. general sport programs during high school years. In total 257 cross-country skiers, graduated from three different Norwegian Top Sport schools during the period from 2015 to 2019, were recruited to retrospectively investigate their experiences related to the time period when they participated in programs for cross-country skiing at high school. In total 116 of these athletes completed an online survey including validated and standardized instruments for the assessment of the coach-athlete working alliance (CAWAI), goal orientation (GO), perceived satisfaction with their performances (PAP) and intrinsic motivation (IM). The results showed that 84% of the athletes had dropped out from cross-country skiing, while 16% were still active. The highest ranked fixed statements of causes for drop-out was "a natural choice" (3.79 ± 1.11), "priority of education or work" (3.61 ± 1.30), "lack of motivation" (3.49 ± 1.28), "negative performance development" (3.46 ± 1.18), and "challenges with health" (3.25 ± 1.54). There were significant differences between active and drop-out in scores for reciprocity between the coaches' and the athletes' perceptions of goals (CAWAI-goal; 5.87 ± .98 vs. 5.07 ± 1.15; p = .004), the coach-athlete relationship bond (CAWAI-bond; 6.08 ± .91 vs. 5.07 ± 1.38; p = .001), and tasks chosen to reach the defined goals (CAWAI-task; 5.61 ± .92 vs. 4.90 ± 1.09; p = .006). Furthermore, active athletes had higher mastery orientation (22.11 ± 2.88 vs. 20.00 ± 3.74; p = .010). A hierarchical binary logistic regression analysis showed that place of residence and the coach-athlete working alliance were significant predictors of drop-out while mastery and performance goal orientation or intrinsic motivation were not significant. All five predictors explained 23% of the variability in drop out from cross-country skiing. Overall, 58% and 42% of the athletes participated in the elite and general programs for cross-country skiing during high school, respectively. The athletes that took part in the elite programs reported significantly stronger coach-athlete working alliances (CAWAI-sum; 14.46±3.10 vs. 14.28±3.37; p = .000), higher mastery orientation (21.19±3.50 vs. 19.36±3.66; p = .008), and performance satisfaction (PAP; 19.17±5.98 vs. 15.69±5.19; p = .001) compared to the athletes attending general programs. The results are discussed in terms of existing knowledge on how place of residence, the coach-athlete working alliance, goal orientation, performances, and motivation might impact drop-out in cross-country skiing.

Factors contributing to university dropout: a review

IntroductionDropout is one of the problems that the university education system has to face every year. The educational community is involved in the reasons for its trajectory as a social problem, which does not exempt any student in the world. Its study and improvement of the education system is a key element in changing the course of university dropout and alleviating its rapid growth in society.MethodologyUsing a quantitative and qualitative methodology, an attempt is made to provide answers to the objectives pursued by the research.ObjectivesTo analyze student satisfaction, to specify the causes of dropout, and to determine the most appropriate authors on dropout by means of literature and different databases.ConclusionsIt is concluded that, are five main major components would be behind university dropout: student adaptation, personality, socio-economic level, teacher–student relationship, and quality in university education. With them come certain sub-causes that must be taken into account for a better understanding of the reasons for university dropout, such as demotivation, low self-esteem, frustration, pregnancy, among others, reasons why their study is essential for their future eradication.

School Dropout an Evil, who is Socially Responsible? A Study

School Dropout is a serious social evil which when unattended will have a long run impact in all the sphere of the society. This particular issue should be given utmost importance by the teachers in schools and parents and elders in families. The stakeholders should play a pro-active role in dealing with this problem.&#x0D; The major reason of dropout is widely hinted at the economic backwardness of the school children. Apart from this cause there are many other causes ranging from issues in the family, at home and even in schools, liking and disliking of schools and teachers also contribute to the cause of dropout. This issue of dropout has become more serious especially after the disaster of Tsunami in 2004.&#x0D; The issue of dropout has to be viewed in a different angle in fishing / coastal villages. The fishing occupation is no doubt a risky job but it has been lucrative. High lucrative in this profession is positively correlated with the investment in mechanised boats and fish nets. The scenario of this dropout problem took an ugly turn post Tsunami. Post Tsunami, relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction was well undertaken by the Government in a very large scale and equally by the Third Sector (NGOs). The relief was also in the form of Mechanised &amp; Fibre Boat (FRB) distributed by many NGO. Prior to Tsunami the number of FRB was very less in number, so the labour force required was also minimal. The number of FRB increased post tsunami which resulted in labour shortage. This also paved way for the entry of children in the profession of fishing saying goodbye to studies. Was this the starting point of School Dropout? At the backdrop of this scenario, the present research has been undertaken. The present research has taken care to highlight the socio-economic profile of the dropouts in the coastal/fishing villages of Karaikal District, Union Territory of Puducherry. The results support the following statement that “Disaster has a direct bearing on the Education of Children”.

Causes of Female High School Student Dropout in Bangladesh: An Exploration of the Pabna District in Familial, Economic and Institutional Contexts

Since ancient times, women in Bengal have been poorly treated and left without most of their rights. Moreover, that continuity still exists in some areas, education being one of them. Male and female enrollment in primary and secondary schools has recently reached the expected level. However, the rate at which female students drop out of secondary school is still alarming. The goal of this study is to find out why so many female students in Bangladesh, and especially in the Pabna district, drop out of high school. In carrying out this research, qualitative and quantitative data have been used almost equally, and a mixed-method approach has been applied to reach the aims and objectives of the research. Findings show that female students drop out of Western-style secondary education mainly because of structural-level barriers. Poverty among parents or guardians is the root cause of dropout among economic issues. And all the structural-level issues are interlinked with poverty. Though child marriage is the immediate process of the dropout, it is not the leading cause. It is a process. Research shows that it is impossible to stop female students from dropping out of high school if the poverty of their parents or guardians is not alleviated and the immediate process is not stopped. It is suggested that needy and educationally disadvantaged students receive a special financial incentive. In addition to getting support from the government administration, the school management committee must play a decisive role in meeting the problems and supporting female students in all aspects.

The Effects of Platelet Indices on Early Mechanical Complications of Peritoneal Dialysis

Mechanical complications are important causes of drop-outs from peritoneal dialysis. There is a need of determining factors associated with higher complications rates of mechanical complications of peritoneal dialysis. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of platelet indices on mechanical complications of peritoneal dialysis
