Determinants of active trachoma among rural children aged 1–9 years old in Aw-Bare Wereda, Somali Region of Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study

IntroductionChronic and highly contagious, trachoma is a condition characterized by recurrent bacterial infection with ocular strains of Mycoplasma trachoma. It spreads through fingers, flies, and fomites, especially in situations where there is overcrowding. If untreated, the illness may result in blindness. Trachoma is an ancient disease and has previously been a significant public health problem in many areas of the world, including parts of Europe and North America. There are at least 400 million cases of active trachoma in the world, 8 million of which have resulted in blindness. Trachoma is a serious public health issue that is very common in Ethiopia. Therefore, the objective of this study is to identify the determinants of active trachoma among rural children aged 1–9 years old in Aw-bare woreda, Somali region of Ethiopia.MethodA cross-sectional community-based study involving children aged 1–9 who lived in six selected rural kebeles in the Awbare woreda Somali region and carried out using an ordinal logistic regression model. The study comprised 377 children in total. Our sample youngsters were chosen through a two-stage cluster sampling procedure. Then also chose our sample kebeles by simple random sampling. The main environmental, personal, and demographic factors that influenced the outcomes of active trachoma status were modeled using partial proportional odds modeling and descriptive statistics.ResultThe study showed that the prevalence of active trachoma was found to be 47.7%. The covariate secondary level of education of mother OR = 1.357; 95% CI (1.051, 1.75), P-value = 0.0192, Inside house cooking place of children family OR = 0.789:95% CI (0.687, 0.927), P-value = 0.0031, children stay at home OR = 2.203:95%CI (1.526, 3.473), P-value = 0.0057,rich income family OR = 1.335:95%CI(1.166,1.528),P-value = 0.0001,Amount of water fetched per day OR = 2.129,95%CI(1.780,2.547),P-Vaue = 0.0001 were significant effect on active trachoma. PPOM represents the best fit as it has the smallest AIC and BIC. It is also more parsimonious.ConclusionThe mother’s educational level, the location where the children spent the majority of their time indoors cooking, the fly density during the interview, the family’s income, the child’s age in years, the distance to the water source, the quantity of water fetched daily, and the number of people sharing a room have all been found to be significant predictors of the child’s active trachoma status. Thus, increasing maternal education, access to clean water, and socioeconomic position are all crucial measures in preventing trachoma. Preventing trachoma also involves reducing the number of kids in a room and enhancing activities linked to personal cleanliness, such as giving kids a thorough facial wash to remove debris and discharge from their eyes.

This research aims to analyze customer segmentation in energy resource companies using the K-Means Clustering method. In the era of increasingly fierce business competition, a deep understanding of customer preferences and behavior is crucial for companies to design effective marketing strategies. Customer data, including purchase frequency, customer service field, company type and geographic location, were collected and analyzed using the K-Means Clustering algorithm. The analysis results showed the formation of homogeneous customer groups, allowing the company to identify the distinctive characteristics of each group. Five main groups were formed from the processed customer data using SPSS. The first group consists of scarlett's facial wash lovers who are dominated by women with an average age of 31 years, earning an average income of Rp15 million per month who live outside Jakarta and work as private employees. This group recognizes the majority of scarlett products from Tiktok. The second group consists of scarlett serum lovers who are dominated by women with an average age of 32 years, earning an average income of IDR 23 million per month who live in South Jakarta and work as private employees. This group also recognizes the majority of scarlett products from Tiktok. The third group consists of scarlett's shower scrub lovers who are dominated by single women with an average age of 31 years, earning an average income of IDR 10 million per month who live in South Jakarta and work other than private employees. This group recognizes scarlett products mostly from Instagram. The fourth group consists of scarlett's body lotion lovers who are dominated by women with an average age of 32 years, earning an average income of IDR 19 million per month who live outside Jakarta and work as private employees. This group recognizes the majority of scarlett products from Instagram. The fifth group consists of scarlett's body scrub lovers who are dominated by women with an average age of 28 years, with an average income of IDR 6.5 million per month who live in South Jakarta and work as entrepreneurs. This group recognizes the majority of scarlett products from Tiktok. The implementation of marketing strategies based on the results of this analysis shows that Scarlett needs to use cluster 2 as its target segment in order to continue to increase its revenue. Because by choosing this cluster, Scarlett will find it easier to design its marketing strategy, namely by increasing social media strategies by involving creative content and collaboration on the Tiktok platform, offering promotions and special offers for customers who buy Serum. Scarlett could present a special bundle offer for the product or provide points that can be redeemed for further discounts or free products after reaching a certain amount and since cluster 2 is predominantly in the South Jakarta area, focus the marketing campaign in that area. Scarlett's value proposition lies in the use of brand ambassadors, digital marketing, product quality and brand trust. Thus, this study concludes that customer segmentation analysis using K-Means Clustering brings strategic benefits to scarlett sellers. A deeper understanding of customers enables sellers to improve the relevance of marketing strategies, achieve better customer satisfaction, and remain responsive to changes in the business environment.

Analyzing Gender-Related Factors Toward the Purchase Intention of Male Skincare Products in Indonesia

Male skincare products are growing in Indonesia along with the metrosexual phenomenon. However, Indonesian culture is not completely ready for metrosexual behavior and more Indonesian men do not identify themselves as metrosexuals, and yet still use skincare, at least facial wash. This study seeks to investigate gender-related constructs influencing the purchase intention of male skincare products. The exogenous variables in this research are the need for product gender congruence, purchase secrecy, and product attributes (focusing on packaging design and the “For Men” label only). 112 respondents who meet the criteria of 17 years and above, use skincare – at least facial wash, and care for their appearance but do not associate themselves with metrosexuals, are included in the analysis. PLS-SEM is employed in this study and the results support all the hypotheses tested.

Combining topical dermal infused exosomes with injected calcium hydroxylapatite for enhanced tissue biostimulation.

Exosome research continues to flourish. Subsequent knowledge surrounding indications, dose-response, safety, efficacy, and the ability to combine exosome treatment as a "skin primer"-for biostimulation modalities such as calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) is growing rapidly. The objective of this study was to develop safe, reproducible methods of improving topical exosome absorption to enhance the quality of skin either by themselves, or in combination with injectable CaHA. Under IRB Approval (International Cell Surgical Society: ICSS-2022-007), 40 patients were enrolled in this study. Twenty patients underwent facial biostimulatory dermal infusion alone, to determine if this method allowed adequate exosome absorption. Five patients underwent facial biostimulatory infusion followed immediately by Dilute CaHA injection (1:1 dilution) to the face. Five patients underwent exosome biostimulatory dermal infusion followed immediately by hyperdilute CaHA (dilution 1:4) injection to the neck. Five patients underwent Facial Dilute CaHA injection (1:1 dilution) alone, without dermal infusion. Five patients underwent neck hyperdilute CaHA injection (1:4 dilution) alone, without dermal infusion. All patients had pretreatment Quantificare 3-D photo-documentation and skin analysis (Quantificare, France). In all patients, the skin was first cleansed with a gentle glycolic acid facial wash (Gregory MD). To induce a "homing inflammatory environment" for the exosomes, sea salt exfoliation was performed (SaltFacial®, SaltMed, Cardiff, CA). A nitric oxide-generating serum (N101 Pneuma Nitric Oxide, Austin, TX) was then applied to act as an enhanced vehicle for absorption. A 3MHz ultrasound (SaltFacial®, SaltMed, Cardiff, CA) was then utilized to further deepen the absorption of the nitric oxide serum. A topical emulsion containing equal volumes (1.0cc containing 1 million) of exosomes (Kimera Labs, Miramar, FL), 25 units of botulinum toxin (Xeomin, Merz Aesthetics, Raleigh, NC) and hyaluronic acid (Belatero, Merz Aesthetics, Raleigh, NC) was mixed via back-and-forth propulsion in a 3-cc syringe. When adequately mixed, the emulsion was then applied to the treatment areas. The cavitating ultrasound was then used to aid in the absorption of the emulsion. The patients were then treated with high-intensity LED therapy (SaltFacial®, SaltMed, Cardiff, CA), utilizing the collagen restoration preset program of combination red (660 nm) near-infrared (930 nm) wavelength for 20 min. Post-treatment Quantificare analysis was performed at 15 and 30 days after treatment. Without exception, all dermal infusion alone and CaHA injection alone patients showed an improvement in the tone, quality, and texture of their skin. Quantificare results showed consistent improvement in wrinkles, pores, skin evenness, improved vascularity, and a reduction in oiliness and unwanted pigment. When employed as a skin primer prior to injections (CaHA), enhanced and more rapid results were seen. Biostimulatory dermal infusion can be achieved utilizing topical placental mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes. These exosomes can be used alone, or mixed with ancillary ingredients such as botulinum toxin, hyaluronic acid dermal filler, and CaHA to customize and personalize treatments based upon individual patient needs. Topical absorption is enhanced with sea salt exfoliation, a topical nitric oxide-generating serum, and 3MHz cavitating ultrasound. Post-absorption activity is enhanced with high-intensity LED treatment. The addition of CaHA injections after the topical exosome "priming of the skin" yielded enhanced skin quality faster than exosomes or CaHA alone.
