Household costs of healthcare during pregnancy, delivery, and the postpartum period : a case study from Matlab, Bangladesh

A household survey was undertaken in Matlab, a rural area of Bangladesh, to estimate the costs incurred during pregnancy, delivery, and the postpartum period for women delivering at home and in a health facility. Those interviewed included 121 women who delivered at home, 120 who delivered in an ICDDR,B basic obstetric care (BEOC) facility, 27 who delivered in a public comprehensive obstetric care (CEOC) hospital, and 58 who delivered in private hospitals. There was no significant difference in total costs incurred by those delivering at home and those delivering in a BEOC facility. Costs for those delivering in CEOC facilities were over nine times greater than for those delivering in BEOC facilities. Costs of care during delivery were predominant. Antenatal and postnatal care added between 7% and 30% to the total cost. Services were more equitable at home and in a BEOC facility compared to services provided at CEOC facilities. The study highlights the regressive nature of the financing of CEOC services and the need for a financing strategy that covers both the costs of referral and BEOC care for those in need.This research was funded under the Cooperative Agreement No. 388-A-00-97-00032-00 with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) (ICDDR,B Grant No. GR-00089).

DNA wrapping around MWNTs and graphene: a SERS study

In recent years, carbon nanostructure as nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene are at the centre of a significant research effort due to the strong scientific and technological interest because of their unique physical and chemical properties: large surface area, excellent thermal and electric conductivity, high electron transfer kinetics and strong mechanical strength. Recently, a great attention has been paid to the interaction of DNA with carbon-based nanostructures such as C60, multiwalled-nanotubes (MWNTs), single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) and graphene. The development of these studies is motivated by a wide spectrum of possible use of these materials e.g. as biosensors, drug delivery agents and diagnosis tools. In this work, we applied surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to the study of DNA/MWNTs and DNA/graphene systems

GLOBAL CURRENT TRENDS IN NATURAL PRODUCTS FOR DIABETES MANAGEMENT: A REVIEW

Diabetes mellitus is a major health problem in the world. There is no cure for diabetes. It is, therefore, essential to practice effective methods of the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diabetes. With the increase in a number of newer drugs for diabetes, there is the possibility of a wide range of side effects that vary from one drug to another. Hence, the need to explore oral antidiabetic drugs of natural origin with minimal side effects is highly essential. This review provides a scientific perspective on the usage and research of natural and Indian traditional remedies in the management of diabetes while also providing insight into the advances in our understanding of diabetic pathology.Keywords: Diabetes, Hyperglycemia, Diabetic complications, Medicinal plant

Ion: This research aim to get picture USAge of method demonstrate to make-up of activity learn educative participant in study of IPA III SDN class 28 Atong. used by Method Research is deskriftif method. Its for research of class action having the character of kolaboratif with colleague as observer. Compiler date technique conducted by careful and direct observation of documentation, while date collector in the form of teacher observation sheet, student observation sheet, and test. This research is conducted in two teacher siklus. Ability design study at one cycle equal to 3,08 mounting to become 3,85 at two cycle, while ability of teacher execute study at one cycle equal to 3,12 and become 3,82 at two cycle. Aspect Activity perceived in the form of perceiving, enquiring, replying, collecting date and conclude date. At one activity mean cycle learn student 58%, at two cycle mount to become 88%. Result learn student at one cycle equal to 60% and become 100% at two cycle. This Matter of showing that USAge of demonstration method can improve result and activity learn student in study of IPA III SDN class 28 Aton

Effect of Dietary Consumption Pattern, Nutrition Status, and Hemoglobin Level on Academic Achievement among High School Students in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara

Background: A healthy diet has been reported to be associated with physical development, cognition and academic performance, and personality during adolescence. This study aimed to estimate the effects of dietary consumption pat¬tern, nutrition status, and hemoglobin level on academic achievement among high school students in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at Senior High School, Kupang district, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, from December 2014 to March 2015. A total sample of 206 students was selected for this study by simple random sampling. The dependent variable was academic achievement. The independent variables were type of food consumed, food consumed rate, protein intake rate, nutritional status, and hemoglobin level. The data were collected by interview. The data were analyzed by a multiple linear regression. Results: Academic achievement increased with hemoglobin level (b=1.27; 95%CI= 0.45 to 2.08; p=0.02), energy (b=0.01; 95%CI= 0.003 to 0.01; p<0.001), pro¬tein intake (b=0.09; 95%CI= 0.02 to 0.15; p=0.007), nutritional status (b=0.47; 95%CI= 0.15 to 0.78; p=0.004). Conclusion: Academic achievement increases with hemoglobin level, energy, protein intake, and nutritional status. Keywords: academic achievement, hemoglobin level, energy, protein intake, and nutritional status

Mausoleum of Khoja Akhmed Yassawi as the element of regional identity formation in modern architecture of Kazakhstan

The formation of a regional identity is a very important cultural and socio-political trend in the formation of an independent state. Against the background of the acculturation of the Soviet period, in post-Soviet conditions there is a search for the origins of the traditional spiritual and material culture of Kazakhstan. From this perspective, one of the most famous architectural monuments of Central Asia is of great interest – the Mausoleum of Khoja Akhmed Yassavi in the city of Turkestan. The architecture of the mausoleum reflects the local traditions of formation and has become a source of inspiration for architects of different periods. The article analyses the cultural and historical significance of the mausoleum and its role in the formation of regional identity in the modern architecture of Kazakhstan
