This article addresses child maltreatment during the period where COVID-19 entered our lives in 2020. Repeated lockdowns kept children at home, away from school, from their support systems, and from their routine. Economic difficulties and having to look after the children who were at home were quite onerous on parents. The article explores the reasons that ACE increased during that time, and highlights what can parents, teachers, and the educational system do about it.

Objective: To identify the risk factors for early neonatal death (NND) despite cesarean section (CS). Methods: This case-control study was carried out between 1st February and 31st May, 2019. Files of women whose newborns died within seven days following CS and those of women whose newborns were alive seven days after CS were examined. The main variables recorded included maternal age, educational level, gestational age at delivery, number of antenatal visits done, whether the woman was referred or not, intrapartum fever or hemorrhage, indication of CS, decision delivery interval, birthweight and sex of newborn. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0. Fisher exact test, t-test and logistic regression were used for comparison. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Our frequency of NND after CS was 4.8% (51/1053). Significant risk factors for NND after CS were birth weight <2000g (aOR 48.18, 95%CI 12.97-152.21), intra-partum hemorrhage (aOR 12.15, 95%CI 5.77-25.97), intra-partum fever (aOR 5.64, 95%CI 1.81-17.66), ˂4 antenatal visits (aOR 4.13, 95%CI 2.71-6.74), arrival ˃1h after referral (aOR 3.09, 95%CI 1.67-5.71) and primary school education level (aOR 2.39, 95%CI 1.16-4.92). Conclusion: From the risk factors identified above, we can recommend that women, especially those with primary school education level, should be counselled to attend at least four antenatal visits to allow the diagnosis and treatment of some diseases. Moreover, CS should be carried out as fast as possible in the cases of intrapartum hemorrhage. Women with intrapartum fever needs particular attention. Lastly, referral should be organized so that the woman arrives earlier.

Odontomas are benign odontogenic tumors subdivided morphologically into complex or compound odontomas. This paper describes the case of a complex odontoma in a 31-year-old male who complained of a painless swelling in right mandibular region which was diagnosed radiographically as complex odontome. Surgical enucleation of the lesion was done and sent for histopathological examination.

Stethoscope, the foundational clinical tool of medical profession, has been found to be a potential disseminator of infections in the healthcare settings (HAIs). Unfortunately, despite recognition of magnitude of the problem, its disinfection is an under-recognized, under-scored and grossly overlooked issue. The three life savior words “Wash your hands” were uttered, for the first time, by Hungarian Obstetrician Ignaz Semmelweis (1818-1865) at the podium of The Vienna Medical Society’s lecture hall on the historic day of May 15, 1850. Today, adequate hand hygiene has been recognized to be the single most important, feasible, doable, and least expensive tool in reducing the increasing toll of HAIs and the spread of antimicrobial resistance. However, efficacy of such a program would be undermined if the healthcare workers (HCWs) continue using unclean stethoscopes which have been found to harbor the same pathogens as on the hands of HCWs. WHO’s “Clean Care is Safer Care” guidelines promote hand hygiene before touching a patient. Likewise, the stethoscopes should be disinfected “before use on each patient”. The resultant synergistic effect would prevent the dissemination of identical pathogens among patients and the care of “clinician’s third hand” would certainly reduce burden of HAIs in healthcare settings.

Powerful, complex relationships exist between health and biology, genetics, and individual behavior, and between health and health services, socioeconomic status, the physical environment, discrimination, racism, literacy levels, and legislative policies. These factors, which influence an individual’s or population’s health, are known as determinants of health. Today, health disparity is taking an in depth look at the differences in health status between different social groups, gender, race, ethnicity, education, income, disability, and sexual orientation. While on the other hand, health inequality is looking at the unjust and unfair treatment one gets because of their socioeconomic status and demographic area. Such a wide array of differences in health inequality and disparity is what contributes to the United States ranking in the bottom of industrialized western nations when it comes to life expectancy rate, and infant mortality rate. Even though over the years there have been great improvements and changes, there is still more work to be done to make health and equality for all.

This baseline survey was aimed to: (Amare, A et al, 2014) assess the role of fisheries of Tekeze in improving fisher’s livelihood; (Andersson J., et al 1998) assess household and individual involvement in fisheries and their inputs used; (Asmare, E., 2015) recommend means of interventions for sustainable use of the fishery resource of Tekeze. Data was collected from September to October 2017 by preparing structured questionnaire and checklists. In addition, mixtures of purposive and random sampling methods were employed to collect the data from 302 sampled households. Finally, the collected data were analyzed by using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Fishing in the study area is the main source of immediate cash income for the household next to crop production. Because of this, 50.33% of the respondents involve in a part time basis and the remaining 32.78% and 16.89% involves in a full time and seasonal basis of fishing respectively. Fishing in the study area is practiced by using both monofilament and multifilament gill nets, hooks, and hook and lines. In addition, the fishing boat, which mostly used are steel boat and planked boat. Mostly, fishers actively participate in fishing starting from October to May and some fishers involves even up to June. A highly significant difference in fishing input ownership were also observed between zones (t = 12.5). Even though highly significant difference in total annual gain from fishing is observed between zones and regions (t = 8.8), fishing plays a considerably important role for fishers (80941.46 ETB per a year on average) including part-time seasonal fishers and crop producer. On the other hand, fishing in the study area is highly gender-biased activity, which makes women’s participation negligible. However, destructive way of fishing by using 4cm stretched mesh sized monofilament gillnets; resource equity problem; poor infrastructure such as; road; and market competition problem are among the main problems in Tekeze fishery.
这项基线调查旨在:(Amare, A等人，2014)评估Tekeze渔业在改善渔民生计方面的作用;(Andersson J. et al . 1998)评估家庭和个人对渔业的参与及其使用的投入;(Asmare, E.， 2015)建议可持续利用Tekeze渔业资源的干预手段。2017年9月至10月，通过编制结构化问卷和清单收集数据。此外，采用目的抽样和随机抽样相结合的方法，对302户抽样家庭进行数据收集。最后，对收集到的数据进行描述性统计和推理统计分析。在研究地区，捕鱼是仅次于农作物生产的家庭直接现金收入的主要来源。因此，50.33%的受访者从事兼职工作，其余的32.78%和16.89%分别从事全职和季节性捕鱼工作。在研究区域捕鱼采用单丝和多丝刺网、鱼钩、鱼钩和鱼线。此外，渔船，其中主要使用的是钢船和木板船。大部分渔民从10月开始到5月积极参与捕鱼，有些渔民甚至参与到6月。各区域之间在渔业投入物所有权方面也观察到非常显著的差异(t = 12.5)。尽管在不同区域和地区之间观察到捕鱼的年总收益有很大差异(t = 8.8)，但捕鱼对包括兼职季节性渔民和作物生产者在内的渔民(平均每年80941.46 ETB)起着相当重要的作用。另一方面，研究区域的捕鱼是高度性别偏见的活动，这使得妇女的参与可以忽略不计。然而，破坏性的捕鱼方式是使用4cm拉伸网大小的单丝刺网;资源公平问题;基础设施较差，例如;路;市场竞争问题是特克泽渔业面临的主要问题。

Introduction: The pressures of body image can be considered as demoralising, especially within the female sporting environment, where female athletes often express the greatest number of negative thoughts and feelings towards their own body shape, appearance, and dissatisfaction. Research surrounding body image, body composition and body mass index (BMI) has shown that when participants use visual impressions, for perceived body image (PBI) they have failed to produce realistic images and often lacked body stimuli with realistic weight manipulations (Madrigal, 2000). To portray more realistic statistically probable weight manipulations of a personalised stimuli, a 3D Avatar can be used to establish how female athletes perceive their body image. Therefore, the main objective of this investigation is to determine the correlation between actual and perceived BMI using a 3D Avatar within female athletes. Method:n =18 female participants between the ages of 18–23 years of age and competing in football and rugby at club and university level were recruited. Stretched stature (m) and body mass (kg) were taken and values used to calculate actual (kg/m²) and perceived BMI. A computer generated (Unity Player) 3D Avatar, with a visual slide from an underweight to average to obese continuum, was used to assess participants perceived BMI. P value was set at < 0.05 and a Paired Student t-Test was used to test for the difference. A Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient was then used to test the strength of the correlation between the actual and perceived BMI. Results: Actual BMI ranged from 19.5 - 36.9 (x̄ 25.1 ± 4.7), whereas the perceived BMI ranged from 23.2 - 30.8 (x̄ 26.7 ± 2.6). A Paired Student t–test set at P < 0.05 suggested a significant difference between actual and perceived BMI (P = 0.023), and a Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient test confirmed a strong correlation of r = 0.875. Conclusion: Results indicated that perceived BMI was higher than the participants actual BMI and suggested that female athletes competing in football and rugby have a large amount of body dissatisfaction.

Background: The physical science of biology and social sciences of psychiatry, psychology and religion address “self” as one of their main themes of investigation. Objective: to find out which self-described by these sciences represents “sapiens” distinguished from all other organisms because of having wisdom. Methodology: a representative text of biology was chosen and subjected to textual and statistical analyses and contrasted to those of psychiatry, psychology and religion. Results: Biology, psychiatry and psychology employ the eight-taxon structure of Linnaeus [1] in which wisdom has no role to play and thus “sapiens” are treated as if they were similar, if not the same as, all other species of plants and animals. Religion, however, divides “sapiens” to three types of self-based on whether they exercise their wisdom or not. Conclusion: Biology, psychiatry and psychology render all selves including “sapiens” subject to life on the earth and justify whatever they do in terms of securing and enjoying it. Religion, however, lifts “sapiens” to the vicegerency of God and holds them responsible for the type of self they choose to become by extending life to hereafter.
