This paper estimates the impact of government strategies that aimed at containing the spread of COVID-19, to the local economic activities of Cagayan de Oro - a highly urbanized city in the Northern region of Mindanao. In the absence of city-level measure for Gross Domestic Product (GDP), gross sales among the 20,626 registered businesses are utilized as an alternative determinant. GDP measures the amount of output produced of a certain area within a specific time-period. Cagayan de Oro is predominantly food sector dependent contributing to almost 80% of its local economic activities. BPO, however, is the fastest growing sector but the food industry is near second. The gross sales of BPO, Tourism and Construction recorded the highest increase for the past ten-years, which indicates that these sectors are massively growing within the city. Using a simple moving-average equation from the business registration data of the City Finance Office from 2010-2019, this paper discovers that the friction created to slow down economic activities cost the city P131, 704,672.26 of foregone sales per week. The estimated impact of a week-long lockdown in the food sector amounts to P645,296,177.66 or a per capita loss of income of P2,428.95. In other words, the impact of lockdown to one food company is around P2,000. Per-capita cost is bigger among medical (P6,631.40) and construction (P7,747.14) firms considering lumpy inputs and higher set-up costs. A one-week lockdown leads to a P104,840,708.03 and P84,954,117.49 of foregone sales in the medical and construction sectors, respectively. This paper also locates the business concentration landscape and potential of Cagayan de Oro City among its 80 barangays and calculates the estimated revenue loss of each sector located among these barangays.

This paper focuses on scientometric analysis and mapping of scientific publications on communication disorders by using VOSviewer. It aims to examine the use of various scientometric indicators on communication disorders. The study covers twenty years of publication data from 1999 to 2018 on communication disorder research. Nearly 141540 publications were retrieved and analyzed in the area of communication disorders. Harvard University published the highest number of 356 papers, with 21317 cited references and 340 total link strength in co-authorship with the organization. The USA shows 19005 articles and 621203 citations with country co-authorship. Langguth, Berthold (145) produced the highest number of papers with citation networks with other authors. K-S test Dmax value (0.1138) and critical value of D 0.05 and 0.1 levels. The chi-square test value is 2645141075. According to Price law, a single contributor, 4254 authors contributed at once, generated 4254 articles, and the square root value of each author is 1162. In the Pareto principle, 79272 authors contributed 24.02% of 141540 articles.

The study depicts that an average rural non-farm household spends Rs. 16,138.61 per year on consumption. The Bathinda district has the highest expenditure, followed by the Jalandhar and Gurdaspur districts. Rural non-farm households typically consume in a subsistence-oriented manner. Food goods account for a significant portion of these categories’ overall consumer spending. Rural non-farm households in the Bathinda district spend 1.20 times as much on consumption per person as non-farm households in the Gurdaspur district, and per-household consumption expenditure in the Bathinda district is 1.05 times the per-household consumption expenditure of non-farm households in Gurdaspur district. In comparison to the other two districts, the Gurdaspur district has a higher concentration of consumer expenditures. The average propensity to spend for non-farm families is less than one, however, for the lower four-income decile groups the non-farm households’ average consumption expenditure is larger than their average income.

In Sri Lanka, the occurrence of unsafe abortions remains a significant issue although the country only allows abortions when a woman’s life is at risk. The Female Factory Workers (FFWs are among the groups particularly susceptible to unsafe abortions. The objective of this research is to investigate the knowledge and practices of FFWs regarding unintended pregnancies and unsafe abortion. A structured questionnaire was administered by a team of trained interviewers among randomly selected 608 FFWs of reproductive age using multi-stage cluster sampling after receiving writing informed consent. The knowledge among FFWs regarding managing unintended pregnancies and unsafe abortion is relatively limited. In particular, the knowledge of younger respondents is significantly lower compared to adults, placing them at higher vulnerability if they engage in sexual activity. The occurrence of unintended pregnancies and unsafe abortions is not uncommon within the group of FFWs who have experienced pregnancy, with rates of 22% and 7.4% respectively. Nearly half (47%) of the pregnancies reported among young FFWs were unintended. Among the 22 women who had undergone an abortion, 5 had never utilized any form of contraception, while 20 had never used Emergency Contraceptives. Focused interventions are needed to address the issue. Improving FFW’s knowledge and access to resources can benefit both workers and management in long-run.
