Exploring awareness of obstetric fistula in Eastern and Northern Nigeria: perceived causes, symptoms, and availability of treatment services

BackgroundEvidence suggests that there are approximately two female genital fistula cases per 1000 women of reproductive age in sub-Saharan Africa. It is estimated that more than 200,000 women are affected by fistula in Nigeria, primarily due to obstetric causes. Awareness has been indicated as a risk factor for the development of obstetric fistula. This study explored the awareness of obstetric fistula such as causes, symptoms, and availability of and access to treatment services in southeastern and northwestern Nigeria.MethodsAn exploratory qualitative study design was used to conduct this research in Kano and Ebonyi states in northern and eastern Nigeria, respectively. A total of six (6) focus group discussions were conducted with three categories of participants: women who were successfully repaired and discharged (n = 2), community-married men (n = 2), and women (n = 2). Forty-four (44) In-depth interviews were conducted three categories of participants: 18 with women with fistula who were either awaiting repair or had been repaired; 6 family member caregivers accompanying fistula patients, and 20 health service providers at fistula repair centers. We developed a data analysis plan based on the emerging themes. The transcripts and field notes were imported into QSR Nvivo version 11 and coded accordingly. Content and thematic analysis was run by inductively drawing themes based on the elicited information from participants.ResultsThere was lack of knowledge of obstetric fistula and its causes among married men and women in the community, caregivers, and some patients were unaware of what caused their fistula for years. In this study, none of the community men and women nor caregivers correctly identified the causes and symptoms of a fistula or knew where to seek treatment. Knowledge about fistula was more common among women who had undergone repairs. Some repaired women attributed the cause of fistula to the providers who attended to them during delivery.ConclusionsFindings reveal a widespread lack of awareness of obstetric fistula onset and awareness of the availability of repair services at the community level. There is an urgent need to explore multi-pronged strategies for increasing awareness of obstetric fistula and available treatment services among women and other community members.

A Markovian analytical approach to a repairable system under the mixed redundancy strategy with a repairman

AbstractThe mixed redundancy strategy is one of the most powerful techniques for improving system performance. This novel strategy has, however, been mostly studied in non‐repairable redundant systems, while the present study aims to study, for the first time, its application to a repairable system with a repairman in availability and maintainability perspectives. In this system, a repairman is responsible for providing the repair services. The intended system simultaneously benefits from the repairman's vacation concept following different policies, namely: vacation interruption and multiple vacations. Moreover, the system consists of two types of repairs, specifically: regular and working vacation repair. Also, successive vacation times are governed by the Markovian arrival process. Accordingly, the system is analyzed by modeling a vector‐valued Markov process and several performance measures are derived in both transient and stationary regimes following the matrix‐analytic procedure. Finally, the performance of the proposed approach is verified using numerical examples that involve a system with three repairable non‐identical components under the mixed strategy as well as a micro‐grid system with three parallel subsystems as a real‐life case study.

A Study on the Effect of Housing Choice on Residential Satisfaction in Seoul Metropolitan Area : Focusing on Characteristics by Region, Life Cycle, and Income

The purpose of this study is to reveal the effect of housing choice factors and resident characteristics on housing satisfaction by region, income, and life cycle using data from the Korea Labor Survey Panel through regression analysis. As a result of the analysis, the following results and implications were derived. First, housing choice factors do not necessarily have a positive effect on housing satisfaction, and housing choice that expects an increase in real estate value has a negative effect on housing satisfaction. In addition, it is necessary to provide an equal educational environment and comfortable living environment for each living area, and to provide appropriate convenience facilities for living areas with low residential satisfaction. Second, affordable rental housing should be provided near employment sites or public transportation to increase employment accessibility for young people in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, while providing affordable housing for young people from low-income families. In addition, long-term rental housing and job support should be continued for the middle-aged and elderly, and housing repair and care services should be provided in areas densely populated with the elderly.

The potential of modular product design on repair behavior and user experience – Evidence from the smartphone industry

Innovation through modular product design is a promising strategy for product lifetime extension and material recyclability. Yet, sustainability benefits of the design do not automatically come into effect, but require additional process innovation through service activities that have to be attractive and made use of by users. This study investigates to what extent sustainability-focused modular product design in the smartphone sector promotes (1) self-repair versus use of repair service and (2) a positive user experience with repair instructions and services. It further analyzes how circular economy attitudes and perceived self-repairability moderate these effects. The quantitative analysis finds that, strengthened by higher perceived self-repairability, users of modular smartphones are more likely to use repair instructions. Also, modular smartphone design increases positive experience with repair instructions. Consequently, successful implementation and management of complementary product and service innovation are key to promoting product lifetime extension in the smartphone industry.

Bi-objective optimisation model and its exact solution method of profit and market share of novel repair-and-support ships based on game theory

Novel repair-and-support ships could provide spot systemic maintenance and repair (MR) services for damaged offshore platforms on a deep sea, competing against shipyards. Therefore, to wisely decide the optimal strategy for the repair-and-support ship to enter the MR market of offshore platforms, comparative and competition analyses are made between the repair-and-support ship and shipyard when providing MR services for damaged offshore platforms on a deep sea. Thereafter, a bi-objective optimisation model of profit and market share of the repair-and-support ship based on game theory is formulated, considering the characteristics of the repair-and-support ship as a compound player and its mixed motives in competition. In this model, dispatching and repair prices of the repair-and-support ship and the repair price of the shipyard are considered decision variables. Therefore, focusing on the particularity of this model, a solution method combining pricing game and bi-objective optimisation is designed to obtain a continuous and exact Pareto front, and its proof is provided. A closed-form expression of the Pareto front for profit and market share of the repair-and-support ship is derived. This solution method is compared with a decomposition-based weighted sum method and augmented e-constraint method. The results show that this solution method has advantages in Pareto front size and running time. Finally, some management insights are obtained through numerical simulation. The research results of this study are conducive to the operator of the repair-and-support ship to make wiser decisions on the trade-off between profit and market share.

Development of Ultra Low-Cost Data Acquisition System (DAS) for Developing Countries

The Data Acquisition System (DAS) is an important equipment in measurement systems especially in weather monitoring and also very crucial in many areas such as agricultural, communication, transportation, sport and industrial processes. This work proposes a weather monitoring system based on an Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller board. The microcontroller has the ability to monitor, record and display the information of atmospheric sensor parameters connected to its analogue and digital pins. The outputs of analogue sensors are connected to the microcontroller through separate ADC for sampling. An LCD attached to the microcontroller displays the measured parameters. For analysis, the data is stored in excel format and can be copied directly from microSD card. The DAS was tested and examined through intensive experimental work. The tables and plots obtained from the experiment for standardizing the sensors, it is clear that there is a close conformity between the data collected by the developed system and the existing standard systems. The need for extra cost baud rate and expensive third-party computer software for interfacing to download data from the logger have been eliminated. There is no need of internet for any linking or configuration. It is evident that the DAS is of better choice in terms of cost and maintenance. The system will be helpful in monitoring and recording of atmospheric parameters.
 HIGHLIGHTS
 
 Only a few weather monitoring stations in Nigeria are functioning as a result of the high cost, maintenance and repair services of imported DAS systems. Also, imported DAS devices are often not suitable for the tropical environment
 Other problems include: proprietary software that lacks flexibility, the necessity for third-party software to extract data and difficulties in getting usable parts and unexpected changes in production designs
 Developed DAS device offers a higher resolution compared to existing devices
 Low-cost and flexible meteorological DAS system with ease of installation
 Convenience in deployment for weather data acquisition and research purposes in relevant fields

IMPLEMENTASI METODE SIX SIGMA DALAM PENETAPAN STRATEGI PENINGKATAN KUALITAS JASA PERBAIKAN TURBIN

Companies that are involved in turbine repair service and maintenance often suffered from delayed work, which affected customer satisfaction and trust. Six-Sigma method is used to solve the delay issue. According to the research result, it is found that the capability of servicing process of a turbine in this company is 1.346s with DPMO of 560810.8. This condition is categorised as low, below the industry average in Indonesia of 2s with DPMO of 308.538. The main cause of the delay is with the unreliable work-hour prediciton, unreliability and unavailability of materials from suppliers, failure of the machines, and flawed scheduling. It is suggested to improve the service by work measurment to help predict the needs for repair schedule, rectifying the supply and maintenance system, as well as scheduling system according to the demands of repair service, repair time prediction, and the repair schedule of the machine itself

Optimization Analysis of the Emergency Logistics Identification Method Based on the Deep Learning Model under the Background of Big Data

Vehicle routing, which is effective and efficient, is a dominant aspect of supply chain management in general and deep learning (DL) in particular. It is also a right step towards the fuel conservation and environmental concern in disposing used commodities. Economics of logistics and transportation plays a major role in deciding the competitiveness of the product, either new or used, in the market. With the upward trends of fuel and logistics costs, manufacturing industries have little option other than keeping the cost of transportation the lowest. Many organizations now started implementing lesser expensive and proper transport modes to keep the maintenance of supply chain cost to the minimum. Proper handling of returned commodities to recover value without affecting the environment may need appropriate techniques or methodologies. This paper deals with the routing of vehicles with energy conservation as the agenda in the value recovering method named as repair service work. It is done through a big data-based deep learning model, in a multicommodity environment. Here, the transportation of commodities to repair service facilities is given an in-depth focus to reduce the energy use. The minimization of the distance traveled by the truck fleet reduces the energy consumption by the trucks. This article deals with the optimization of emergency logistic with the assistance of deep learning approach, whereas this approach attains 57.19 km with 6 optimized routes. The process of emergency flow control is attained effectively using deep learning approach.
