Pooled Prevalence and Determinants of Prelacteal Feeding Practice in Eastern Africa Evidence from Demographic and Health Survey Data: A Multilevel Study.

BackgroundDespite the benefits of breast milk and colostrum for the health and survival of children, early prelacteal feeding is commonly practiced worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pooled prevalence and determinants of prelacteal feeding in Eastern Africa.MethodsThis study was carried out within 11 East African countries from 2010 to 2018, a pooled study of prelacteal feeding was performed. For assessing model fitness and contrast, intra-class correlation coefficient, median odds ratio, proportional change in variance, and deviance were used. In order to identify possible covariates associated with prelacteal feeding in the study area, the multilevel multivariable logistic regression model was adapted. Adjusted Odds Ratio was used with 95% confidence interval to declare major prelacteal factors.ResultsThe pooled prevalence of prelacteal feeding in Eastern Africa was 12% (95% CI: 11.42–12.53%), with the highest prevalence of prelacteal feeding in the Comoros (39%) and the lowest in Malawi (3%). Multilevel multivariable logistic regression model; wealth index (AOR = 1.22; 95% CI 1.03–1.34), ANC visit (AOR = 1.42; 95% CI: 1.12–1.79), institutional delivery (AOR = 0.58; 95% CI: 0.58–0.64), small birth size (AOR = 1.14; 95% CI: 1.30–1.26), delivery type (AOR = 2.61; 95% CI: 2.30–2.96), and high community ANC visit (AOR = 0.90; 95% CI: 0.84–0.97) were significantly associated with prelacteal feeding in Eastern Africa.ConclusionIn East Africa, the magnitude of prelacteal feeding was still high. The possible determinants of prelacteal feeding in Eastern Africa were wealth index, birth interval, delivery mode, place of delivery, ANC visit, and community ANC visit. Structural improvements are required for women with caesarean births to achieve optimal breastfeeding practice in Eastern Africa.

GPS Tracking, QR code Scanner Based Application to Help the Health Workers and Common Citizens during Covid-19

At the end of 2019, a novel Corona Virus surfaced as a pathogen and eventually resulted in a pandemic situation. The infection rate unleashed havoc worldwide firstly affecting European nations then the US. So, in this paper we proposed a software application which intakes user data to calculate the threat based on the merits of reconducted survey which prompts the user to check if they are undergoing any of the medically proven symptoms and sends it to the local municipal clinic. This in turn will minimize the need for medical workers to visit door to door constantly at risk of getting infected. This software is equipped with features like GPS tracking, threat level predictor, contamination graph it also determines medicinal urgency etc. Basically, our system is supposed to assist the day to day workers and visit places in scenarios of maximum urgency. This proposed system is used to prevent allowing likely symptomatic as well as asymptomatic users to enter in the hotspot regions’ public places such as malls and markets. The application will generate a unique QR code for respective users which will depict their merit based on mandatory survey that whether that person is affected or not. The QR code can be used in order enter the public area places where scanners are placed.

Planinarski turizam - motivi i ponašanja - studija slučaja

Hiking is a physical activity aiming at recreation, training, and physical fitness. As a rule, people are engaged in this activity during vacations. However, very often, hiking is the main motive for travelling. This very fact allows us to refer to hiking as a distinct type of tourism, being the very reason to make a trip. In Greece, both Greeks and foreigners engage in this activity, following one of the two European long-distance footpaths (E4 and E6). This research aims at investigating motives, attitudes and behaviours of Greek hikers, members of the "Friends of Mountain and Sea Club", who undertake hiking tours in Greece and abroad. The research indicates that the main motive the hikers have, are contact with nature, wish to explore new places, and getting to know the civilization of different regions. On the way to their destination, hikers, in addition to hiking, also visit places and monuments of cultural interest. This form of tourism is environment friendly, as the majority of hikers respect and protect the natural and cultural environment.

Cross-regional Variation of Complex Pregnancy Problems in Ethiopia

Adverse pregnancy outcome is a complex outcome of pregnancy other than the normal live birth. It lead to serious health consequences to the mother or the baby. It also can be still major public health and socioeconomic status problems in developing countries where most pregnancies are unplanned, complications. There is disparity of adverse pregnancy outcomes rate from region to region in Ethiopia. Objectives: The main objectives of the study were to identify the important determinant of adverse pregnancy outcomes in Ethiopia. With this study the multilevel logistic regression models were used to explore the major risk factors and regional variations. Different stages of multilevel models like intercept model and slope model were employed to attain the goal of the study. The results indicated that out of 15683 reproductive age of women, 8412 (86.8%) not experiencing adverse pregnancy outcome while 1282 (13.2%) of women have experienced adverse pregnancy outcome at the time of the survey. From multilevel logistic regression, it was found that the random intercept model provided the best fit for the data under consideration. All the fitted models gave the same conclusion that, Age of mother, place of residence, antenatal care visit and delivery place, Parity, Education of mother, Marital status, Anemia level were found to be statistically significant. Conclusion: The random intercept multilevel model provided the best fit for the data under consideration. Furthermore, it is found that not having Antenatal care, residing in rural area, working occupational status, being anemic, increased educational level, never married, divorced, or separated marital status, being in age group of 15-24 or >35 years are associated with increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcome among reproductive age group women in Ethiopia.

ЗВЯЗКИ КДУ ІМ. Т. Г. ШЕВЧЕНКА З НАУКОВИМИ Й ОСВІТНІМИ УСТАНОВАМИ КРАЇН "СОЦІАЛІСТИЧНОГО БЛОКУ" (1944-1964 рр.)

International relations of Taras Shevchenko Kyiv State University with scientific and educational institutions of «Socialist Aiiiance» countries in 1944–1964’s are covered. It was found, that KSU started to establish these relations in the post-war period. Until the early 1950’s young people from communist Poland, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Romania and Albania studied there as students. They were involved in work on scientific circles. It is obvious, that the «de-Stalinization» and the onset and the Khruschew «thaw» had a positive effect on the further development of Kyiv University’s relations with scientific and educational institutions of the «Socialist Alliance» countries. As early as the middle of 1950’s the University became a place of visit for official delegations according to the protocol. It was also visited by delegations of workers, employees, teachers and others. Among the students the most frequent guests were East German students. In the second half of the 1950’s and early 1960’s rectors of Romanian, Czechoslovak, Bulgarian, Polish and Hungarian universities visited KSU to get acquainted with the organization of scientific and educational work. At the same time, scientists from the countries of the «Socialist Alliance» spoke at the KSU. Instead, scientific and pedagogical staff of the University made reports in scientific institutions and university of the countries of the «Socialist Alliance». They lectured at their universities. Students also underwent internships at universities in Poland and Czechoslovakia, and GDR enterprises. Polish, Czechoslovak and Bulgarian scientists underwent internships at KSU? And teachers improved their skills. From the early 1960’s, people from the countries of the «Socialist Alliance» entered the university to prepare and defend PhD theses. International book exchange took place systematically. Student sport competitions were held regularly. As of 1964, Taras Shevchenko Kyiv State University had bilateral agreements on cooperation with the Yan Komensky University of Bratislava, E. Purkine University of Brno (Czechoslovakia), L. Kossuth Debrecen University (Hungary), University of Zagreb (Yugoslavia), Karl Marx University of Leipzig (GDR), Jagiellonian University in Krakow (Pjland). However, the relations of Kyiv University with them during 1964–1984’s are the subject of further scientific research.

시공간 자료 지리적 시각화를 통한 코로나바이러스감염증-19 확진자 시공간 이동경로 분석에 관한 연구

Contact with the patient is an important transmission route for the transmission of infectious diseases, so an individual level information of activity can be used as an important index to determine risks of infection. The purpose of this study is to propose a method to understand the migration characteristics of COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) patients by using personal movement. To this end, a geovisualization prototype environment has been developed with the concept of time geography in order to analyze data on the movement route of corona patients in Seoul. In the geovisualization prototype, a three-dimensional path is used to visualize the visited places of COVID-19 patients by time period. In addition, visit time and stay time by place of visit are expressed in a cylinder reflecting the concept of the station so that it is possible to determine whether or not the visiting places are overlapped by the patients. The visualization method proposed in this study has the following advantages. First, it is possible to analyze the spatiotemporal movement characteristics by simultaneously visualizing the spatiotemporal ranges and characteristics of the movement of COVID-19 patients. Second, it is possible to identify the shared location of the infected patients through visualization of the station along the path of their movement.

Film tourism in Spain: Destination awareness and visit motivation as determinants to visit places seen in TV series

TV series have become one of the most successful types of audio-visual product. Their potential to cultivate massive loyal audiences makes them an excellent medium for promoting the places they depict, presenting them as attractive destinations, and inducing the phenomenon known as film tourism. The present study aims to shed light on the determinants behind viewers’ decisions to visit a destination they have seen in a TV series. More specifically, two aspects acknowledged as antecedents of travel decisions were considered: destination awareness and visit motivation. To this end, quantitative questionnaires were carried out with domestic tourists during their visits to destinations depicted in Spanish TV series. The collected data was analysed through tests of independence and a binary logistic regression, in which the respondents’ sociodemographic characteristics were used as control variables. The results corroborate that both factors significantly influence the decision to visit film destinations, whereas the effect of destination awareness is stronger.

A Produção Científica Brasileira Sobre Turismo Cinematográfico: Uma Análise Bibliométrica de 2011 A 2018

Film tourism is a segment whose main motivation is to visit places linked to audiovisual production, mainly films produced for cinema and television series. It is an expanding segment all over the world that gains attention from the localities due to its possibilities of spreading the image of the city and improve economic benefits. Thus, both the creation of new tourism products related to the audiovisual productions that had the locality as scenery for the filming, as well as the implementation of strategies to capture new productions capable of attracting more visitors. In spite of the worldwide trend of growth of the sector, in Brazil there is still an institutional and scientific gap on the subject, which leads to a low utilization of the potential of cinematographic tourism in the national scenario. Based on the above considerations, this research seeks to understand the state of the art of film tourism in Brazil, based on the analysis of the national scientific production.

사회관계망 분석을 활용한 방한 중 · 일 관광객 관광행동 패턴에 대한 연구

The purpose of this study is to compare tourism behavior patterns between Chinese and Japanese tourists visiting Korea. The study used the “2017 International visitor Survey” by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism for analysis. Netminer 4, a social network analysis program, was used to analyze the data. The following are the results. First, the analysis of network attributes confirmed that Chinese tourists visit more diverse tourist attractions than Japanese tourists, and that they have very close connection between tourist attractions visited by tourists from both countries. Second, the analysis of visiting patterns showed that Chinese tourists visit many places that are easy to shop, and Japanese tourists visit places that are easy to eat and shop. Third, according to the betweenness centrality analysis, both Chinese and Japanese tourists had the highest centrality in Myeong-dong. Fourth, as a result of the cluster analysis of visiting tourist attractions, Chinese tourists were divided into shopping/eating, tourism, culture/history, play and nature, while Japanese tourists were observed as shopping/eating, tourism, culture/history, play and nature.

PSYCHOSOCIAL RISKS FOR MENTAL HEALTH DURING A PANDEMIC

During the pandemic, many countries go through a period of so-called “self-isolation” or quarantine, during which people are forced for a long time not to see their loved ones, not to visit places of importance to them and experiencing constant anxiety and un­certainty due to changing living conditions. This has had a very negative impact on most people’s mental state. Analyzing data from many countries around the world, the World Health Organization (WHO) notes that the fear, loneliness, isolation, stress and anxiety experienced by all people during the COVID-19 pan­demic can cause great mental health problems and countries need to be prepared for them. Metaanalysis of studies evaluating the prevalence of mental and behavioral disorders, self-harming behavior, acts of family violence, and problematic substance use in the COVID-19 pandemic show that depression, drug and alcohol addiction, self-harm and suicidal behavior are expected to increase, requiring increased prepa­redness by mental health services.

Destinasyon Kavramının Yeniden Yapılandırılması Üzerine Düşünsel Bir İnceleme

Different expressions are used in the national and international literature regarding the concept of destination, which includes some touristic activities and directs tourism resources. Destination, which is a versatile concept with its complex structure, is used as a “distension” in our language based on the word “distension” from English, and its tried to be expressed with different definitions and words in the studies of authors and researchers in the national and international literature. The term “destination”, expressed in the Turkish Language Institution as “place to arrive”, is tried to be explained with concepts such as “tourism-related area”, “touristic region”, place of visit”, “touristic center”, and its exact counterpart is uncertain in the relevant literature. The aim of this study is to contribute to the definition complexity related to the concept of destination in the national and international literature, to develop a definition proposal and to contribute to the related literature. Within the scope of the study, secondary data were used and data were collected using the literature review technique. It has been tried to contribute to the definition of destination, which has a complex structure, with an attempt to define the difference in meaning and complexity in the national and international literature.

GP home visits: essential patient care or disposable relic?

The GP home visit has long been regarded as an integral element of NHS general practice that is needed to support both proactive and reactive care to patients in the community.1,2 There are increasing numbers of people living with multimorbidity and frailty, many of whom have complex healthcare needs and limited levels of social support. Now with the new challenges around providing care at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it could be argued that home visits or virtual consultations with patients in their homes are set to become a more essential element of general practice, including in the provision of acute care out of hours. Consulting with patients in their homes provides unique opportunities to develop insights into how illness affects their lives. However, with workloads in NHS primary care rising, and increasing pressures on the GP workforce, the place of home visits in core general practice provision is facing increasing challenge. The requirements of the current GP General Medical Services (GMS) contract in relation to home visiting are broad.3 The contract is not prescriptive about who should visit or where the visit should take place, and states that the decision to visit is dependent on the opinion and agreement of the GP contractor. In November 2019, the Local Medical Committee (LMC) conference debated the current contractual requirements and a motion was narrowly passed to instruct the General Practitioners Committee (GPC) (the negotiating arm of the British Medical …

Friendliness of route along the home-school journey for less privileged children in old city zone of Makassar

The home-school journey is a part of less privileged children’s daily routine in Makassar. Children’s repetitive engagement with elements of the street environment contributes to their growth and development. This study determines the actual friendliness of route for less privileged children along their homeschool journey that lead them to perceive the street as their play space. Participatory observation and behavior mapping were conducted to 10 less privileged children, aged 9 to 11. Their movement, social play, place of visit and preferred route were elicited during their journey from home to school and back. The site was a neighborhood in the old city zone of Makassar. The data was analysis using GIS heat-map. It is found that less privileged children perceive the home-school journey as a route to reach their school as well as a place space especially coming back from school to home. Utilized and shaped affordances of school to home journey were more than those gained from home to school. Boys practiced a longer journey than girls on their way back from school to home. It means that the geography of less privileged children at urban street generates spatial skill through social play.

Інститут омбудсмена як складник системи захисту прав дітей в україні

The urgency of the topic is due to the fact that children – a special age category, that needs specific protection. Ombudsmen have a special place in the system of protection of children's rights, whose purpose is to assist in the realization of their rights by children, to secure and protect the rights of children. The purpose of the article is to determine the place and role of the Ombudsman Institute in the system of protection of children's rights. It is established that the Commissioner for Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on Human Rights, exercising parliamentary control over the observance of constitutional rights and freedoms, can visit places where under the decision of a court or administration are forcibly detained by minors, as well as interrogate them regarding their treatment, the conditions of their detention, and to apply to the court for the protection of the rights and freedoms of persons who, because they are not of legal age, are unable to defend their rights independently. It has been found that scientists have a critical appraisal of the human rights potential of the Presidential Ombudsman, since this official is not endowed with real powers and is not independent in his activities. It is revealed that the Presidential Commissioner for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities has the right to visit the institutions of the system of rehabilitation of children with disabilities, educational institutions, health care institutions and other institutions and to take measures to eliminate violations of children's rights in these institutions. The protection of the right to education (the right to quality and accessible education, the right to receive lifelong education, the right to free education) is one of the powers of the educational ombudsman. It is concluded that the current Ombudsmen (Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine for Human Rights, Commissioner of the President of Ukraine for the Rights of the Child, Commissioner of the President of Ukraine for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Educational Ombudsman) within their competence, among other institutions and organizations of the state nature, organize activities aimed at ensuring the conditions necessary and sufficient for the realization of their rights by children, the protection of children's rights.

Editor's Note

Editor's Note Bruce R. Burningham The Year 2020 has been a tough one so far. As I write these words, we are still dealing with the impact of the COVID pandemic, which has certainly changed the way we all go about the business of teaching and researching the works of Cervantes and other early modern Iberian and Latin American authors. And this year has also seen the loss of two more eminent cervantistas: Luis Murillo and Manuel Durán. This Spring issue of the journal begins with a homage essay in honor of Murillo written by Jim Parr, while the Fall issue will include a homage essay written in honor of Durán written by Roberto González Echevarría. Both scholars were important to my own education and career, and I will add my own brief thoughts on each of them in turn (for Murillo, here in this current Editor's Note; for Durán in my Editor's Note in the Fall issue). ________ Regarding Luis Murillo, I will be forever grateful for the way he took me under his wing when I was a newly-minted assistant professor at USC. I used to come back from teaching class to find him waiting for me outside my office door with a sparkle in his eye, at which point we would head off to lunch somewhere nearby. He constantly gave me (and later mailed me) copies of essays he had just written on California history and culture, and I still reach for his edition of Don Quixote whenever I am doing research. He was famous for taking the LA mass transit system as he moved about the city, and I could never get him to accept a ride home. Yes, he would allow me to give him a lift, but only as far as the nearest bus stop or Metro station. After I moved away from LA, I always tried to visit Luis whenever I was back in Southern California. We usually started with brunch in Pasadena and then he would improve my education by taking me around to visit places he [End Page 7] thought I really ought to see. On one visit, he announced that he was taking me to see the library at Cal Tech. The last time I visited him, we toured the grounds of the Pasadena City Hall, where he (reluctantly) agreed to take a selfie with me. This photo, with City Hall set against the deep blue of the Pasadena sky, and with Luis sporting his signature buzz cut and a pair of wrap-around sunglasses, quickly became one of my favorites: he was, by far, the coolest cervantista in SoCal. Abrazos, Luis, y mil gracias. ________ Regarding this Spring 2020 issue of Cervantes, we begin with two essays on gender and sexuality by Mar Martínez Góngora and Stacey Parker Aronson. These articles are followed by two essays by David Boruchoff on Cervantes's "art of brevity" in Don Quixote and Jesús Botello on ekphrasis in Los baños de Argel. Following these two articles, we offer an interlude of sorts in the form of a magisterial essay by Howard Mancing on "The Amadís Phenomenon." We then conclude with a cluster of essays written by Eric Graf, David Castillo, and Charles Patterson on Cervantes's works within the context of contemporary society. In this regard, Graf examines Don Quixote against the backdrop of this year's Black Lives Matter protests. Castillo reads "El licenciado Vidriera" in the context of our "post-truth age." And Patterson examines Anglo-American modernity in Manuel Altolaguirre's Las maravillas. The Spring 2020 issue concludes with a single book review, written by Rogelio Miñana, of Stephen Haff's Kid Quixotes: A Group of Students, Their Teachers, and the One-Room School Where Everything Is Possible. Thanks, as always, to our Associate Editors and other peer reviewers for all their hard work, to Ana Laguna for curating the book reviews, and to John Beusterien for helping me manage the submissions process.

Del enfrentamiento histórico entre Estado e Iglesia en México, al aprovechamiento económico del conflicto cristero a través del turismo religioso

Este artículo analiza el conflicto armado entre diversos grupos sociales y el Estado de México (La Guerra Cristera, 1926-1929, cuyo origen fue la aprobación de un decreto nacional que limitaba la actividad y posesión de bienes por parte de la Iglesia Católica) asi como, el aprovechamiento económico de dicho conflicto a traves de la creación de un producto turistico “La Ruta Cristera” explotando el movimiento de peregrinación para visitar lugares relacionados con los 25 santos cristeros (personas canonizadas por la Iglesia Católica que fallecieron en dicha guerra) y que cada día tiene mas auge principalmente en el pueblo mexicano.

Maternal health care service utilization in post-war Liberia: analysis of nationally representative cross-sectional household surveys

BackgroundPost-war Liberia has a fast-growing population and an alarming maternal mortality ratio (MMR). To provide a better understanding about healthcare system recovery in post-war country, we explored the changes in maternal healthcare services utilization between 2007 and 2016.MethodsWe used 2007 and 2013 Liberia Demographic and Health Survey (LDHS) and the 2016 Malaria Indicator Survey (MIS) in this study. The outcomes of interest were: place of delivery and antenatal care visits. Univariate analysis was conducted using percentages and means (standard deviations) and multiple binary multivariable logistic models were used to examine the factors associated with the outcome variables.ResultsBetween 2007 and 2016, the percentage of adequate ANC visits increased from 71.20 to 79.8%, and that of facility-based delivery increased from 40.90 to 74.60%. The odds of attending at least four ANC visits and formal institutional delivery were low among women residing in rural area, but high among women with higher education, used electronic media, and lived in high wealth index households. Additionally, attending ANC at least four times increased the odds of facility-based delivery by almost threefold.ConclusionThe findings suggest that key maternal healthcare utilization indicators have improved substantially, especially facility-based delivery. However, a large proportion of women remain deprived of these life-saving health services in the post-war era. Greater healthcare efforts are needed to improve the quality and coverage of maternal healthcare in order to enhance maternal survival in Liberia.

Urban Design Project Focused On River Sports

Touristic activities are growing all-over the world. The number of people traveling abroad to visit places and having adventures is increasing. Even though the most popular cities and countries in touristic terms are the most visited places, the small cities in rural areas are also defining strategies in order to improve their performances in tourism. The Portuguese city of São Pedro do Sul, very well-known because of its thermal baths with roots in the Roman times, is not an exception on this domain. This is a high potential area for touristic purposes linking the consolidated urban fabric of the city with the river Vouga banks. Therefore, it has all required features to become a touristic spot focused on river sport activities. In this sense this paper aims to present an urban design project having has pivotal goal to promote the sport activities related with the river. This solution was the result of an international team background (Portugal, Slovakia, Brazil, Greece, Poland and Lithuania) with their different understandings about the sensitive areas such as the river banks in an urban context. The conclusions show that the historical buildings can have a new life and use, which was the case of the nineteen-century train station transformed into a multicultural centre. The proposal main strategy is the creation of a set of facilities and public spaces such as the camping or a nautical centre in order to promote the touristic activities related with the river.
