AN ASSESSMENT OF INTIMATE PARTNER FEMICIDE IN THE NAME OF HONOUR IN TURKEY: A RETROSPECTIVE EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDY

Background: Honour killing (HK) is the most extreme form of domestic violence. Given the scarcity and reliability of data on the phenomenon, the present study focuses on the epidemiological pattern of HK in Turkey, where many cases of the HK are considered unreported or/and falsely described. Subjects and methods: Data for this retrospective epidemiological study was collected through newspaper reports on intimate partner femicide (IPF) that published between January 1st 2010 and December 31st 2015. The proportion of HK was estimated according to independent variables by means of regression analysis. Results: The femicide cases has increased during the study period. The proportion of the HK cases was 14%. Logistic regression analysis showed that being at the younger ages (odds ratio, OR=2.0, r=0.70, P<0.001) and using other methods such as strangulation, hanging, electrocution or poisoning were the factors associated with HK (OR=1.8, r=0.60, P=0.004). Conclusions: Given the continued increase in the rate of the IPF cases in Turkey, where HK related information is scarce, newspaper reports can be a good monitoring tool. Data collection and monitoring systems are crucial to find the best effective prevention strategies, particularly for HK. Policies to reduce the HK cases should be including support to women, especially at the younger ages

Turkish school teachers’ knowledge and attitudes toward HIV/AIDS

Aim To assess Turkish school teachers’ knowledge, attitudes, and misconceptions of HIV/AIDS. Methods This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in Sivas, Middle Anatolian province of Turkey, from January to May 2009. We selected and interviewed 898 teachers using a simple systematic sampling method. Results All respondents heard about AIDS. Most knew that it could be transmitted by infected blood (98.0%) and sexual contact (93.4%) and some (33.2%) thought that it could be transmitted by mosquitoes. Although the majority of them strongly agreed or agreed with the statement that “people with AIDS should be helped, supported and treated” (98.0%), about 40% and 70% of them, respectively, agreed or strongly agreed with the statement that infected people should be quarantined. Young teachers with a higher level of knowledge about HIV/AIDS had more positive attitudes. Conclusion This study provided basic information on school teachers’ AIDS knowledge and attitudes and showed that various misconceptions of HIV transmission were a matter of concern. A considerable number of respondents with undesirable attitudes toward HIV/AIDS indicates the need for education of teachers on the subject

Analisis Heat Loss pada Sistem Uap dan Performance Boiler Indomarine di PT. Eastern Pearl Flour Mills

Pada proses pembuatan pellet ini dibutuhkan uap panas yang dihasilkan dari mesin ketel uap atau boiler. Boiler atau ketel uap merupakan suatu alat penghasil uap panas yang di hasilkan dari proses pembakaran. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui heat losses sepanjang pipa distribusi uap. Metode pada penelitian ini, yaitu pengumpulan data pada obyek penelitian yang terdapat pada dokumen kontrol PT. Eastern Pearl Flour pada sistem distribusi pipa terutama sebagai penyuplai uap pada proses pembuatan produk pellet. Dari hasil analisa data pada penelitian ini, menemukan bahwa energi panas uap yang dihasilkan Boiler Indomarine (Est) mengalami kenaikan , diawali dari (tahun 2018) sebesar 32,58 KW, (tahun 2019) sebesar 32,68 KW dan (tahun 2020) sebesar 33,09 KW sedangkan Heat loses pada jalur pipa distribusi uap rata-rata sebesar 66,2 kW. Dengan hasil perhitungan yang dilakukan maka terlihat bahwa dari 100 % energi bahan bakar dapat menghasilkan energi uap yang berguna sekitar 2334311 kJ/Jam. Begitu pula dengan kesetimbangan massa fluida kerja yang terjadi, laju massa air umpan yang terpakai sebesar 1126,35 kg/jam, laju massa uap yang dihasilkan sebesar 934,35 kg/jam. Sedangkan sisanya dibuang melalui blow down sebesar 192 kg/jam.Kata Kunci : Boiler, Heat Losses, Kesetimbanga

LEVEL OF MOTHER-BABY BONDING AND INFLUENCING FACTORS DURING PREGNANCY AND POSTPARTUM PERIOD

Background: Bonding is the process of an emotional relationship between mothers and babies. Pregnancy and postpartum periods are most important of developing a mother–child bonding. Here we aimed to determine the level of mother-baby bonding and identify the influencing factors during pregnancy and the postpartum period and to examine the relationship between bonding level during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Subjects and methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study included twelve districts across a range of socioeconomic structures. Every district was selected by a simple random sampling method. Data were collected with Prenatal Attachment Inventory, Mother-to-Infant Bonding Scale, Center for Epidemiologic Studies’ Depression Scale and Beck Anxiety Inventory. The study included two home visits. The first visit at gestational age ????35 weeks and second visit on the seventh or eighth day of the postpartum period. The study was conducted with 227 pregnant women. Results: We found that, 50.7% pregnant women had prenatal depression and 36.6% pregnant women had postpartum depression. We detected a negative association between depression level during pregnancy and the postpartum period with motherbaby bonding in the postpartum period (r=0.174, p=0.009; and r=0.221, p=0.001, respectively). A negative correlation was detected between anxiety level and mother-baby bonding level in the postpartum period (r=0.151, p=0.023). It was found that when the prenatal attachment level increases, the level of postpartum bonding is also increases (r=0.297, p=0.000). Conclusions: Depression and anxiety levels were higher during pregnancy than the postpartum period. Depression level during pregnancy and postpartum period depression and anxiety level negatively affected mother-baby bonding in the postpartum period.
