Determinants of Family Planning Method Use in Ilala Municipality, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania | Chapter 3 | New Ideas Concerning Arts and Social Studies Vol. 1

The widespread adoption of family planning methods (FPMs) represents one of the most dramatic changes of the 21st century. The growing use of contraception worldwide has increased the ability of couples to choose the number and spacing of their children and to have tremendous lifesaving benefits. This paper examines the use of family planning methods in Ilala Municipality, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. A total of 55 respondents were involved in the study. The study used both quantitative and qualitative techniques in collecting and analysing data. A questionnaire, in-depth interviews and documentary review were used to gather data. In-depth interviews with eleven including seven key officials, two street chairpersons, and two shop FPMs vendors were conducted to fill the study purposes.  The analysis of data obtained from the survey was analysed using a statistical tool known as Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS version 20). The findings indicated that modern family planning methods, such as condoms and oral contraceptives like postinor-2, morning-after pills, injection, and implants, were preferred over traditional family planning methods, such as withdrawals, calendar rhythm method and periodic abstinence. The factors influencing family planning methods were education, access to information, fear and unfounded ethical beliefs, number of siblings, children as an indicator of one’s high status, prestige, and children confirming one’s virtue. The trend of Traditional Family Planning Methods (TFPM) and Modern Family Planning Methods (MFPM) indicates an increase in the positive perception of the MFPMs to both educated and uneducated users. Generally, the use of family planning methods was determined by the socio-economic status of the users and environmental variables. Therefore, it is recommended that the stakeholders construct health centres and educate people on good family planning methods.

Use of Cochlear Implant among People of Jos, North Central Nigeria: Societal and Financial Challenges | Chapter 10 | Current Progress in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 This episode examined the challenges of Cochlear implants (CI) users in Jos, Nigeria. Cochlear implants (CIs) have convinced to be a useful situation option for things with severe-to-deep hearing loss by providing enhanced access to one's encircling auditory environment. CIs disagree from traditional audile amplification by providing information to the hearing system via energetic stimulation. Access to cochlear implants in underdeveloped countries is not without challenges. The study comprises 41 accused, 16 out of 30 Cochlear Implant consumers in Jos responded to the questionnaire. Thirteen (13) folks of the cochlear implant us- ers and twelfth (12) ENT personnel doctors and nurses formed the sample breadth. CICQ questionnaire was used to wrest data from the respondents. A plain percentage was used to analyze the dossier. The results revealed that 62.5% of the CI users lived beneath 100,000 Naira (USD244) as their yearly income. Cochlear Implant appurtenances such as batteries, extrinsic devices, cords, and services or repairs are very high-priced yet they don’t last long. We also should travel a long distance to access winding implant mapping that costs us a portion in terms of transport fares. The majority (93.75%) have harsh to profound hearing deficit bilaterally but used CI unilaterally.  The cost of CI accessories and presidency, as well as their accessibility, have an affect the economic, public, and psychological lives of CI users and their classification members. The demand for CI in their facility is completely strong, and managing CI consumers is very difficult due to lacking people, capital, and equipment, according to ENT organization.

Pharmacophylogeny of Medicinal Plants in Temperate Region | Chapter 9 | Novel Aspects on Pharmaceutical Research Vol. 3

 The primary breakthroughs of this research are to concentrate on common families of medicinal plants found in temperate climates around the world. Medicinal plants are thought to be rich sources of chemicals that can be employed in the development of pharmaceutical, non-pharmacopoeial, or synthetic medications. The plant chemicals are classified as primary or secondary metabolites. The use of herbal medicine has increased dramatically over the last two decades. Chemotaxonomy has grown in popularity due to advances in analytical tools for chemical analysis that can detect even small amounts of chemical substances. The purpose of learning about the families is to recognize the categories of each and every plant in that family, to recognize the existence of specialized phytochemical constituents, and to study the specific pharmacological activities commonly exhibited by the plants in the respective family. The study focused on the common 50 families of medicinal plants, and a review of their common phytoconstituents and pharmacological effects has been undertaken using numerous reputable studies as references. This assessment leads to the conclusion that research activities will be carried out under what class of herbals, which section of the study will be enhanced, the selection of phytoconstituents for herbal medication development, and the trade of a specific group of herbals. The results of chemotaxonomic investigations can aid taxonomists, phytochemists, and pharmacologists answer specific taxonomic difficulties.

The Relationship between Fasting and Obesity | Chapter 13 | Emerging Trends in Disease and Health Research Vol. 6

 The goal of this study was to see if there was a link between eating habits perceptions and obesity in Egypt during Ramadan. In 2015, data was obtained using a cross-sectional paper and pencil survey of people aged 18 and up in Egypt's Assiut Governorate. The dependent variable was obesity, as measured by the body mass index. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to fit the data. Individuals with poor religious orthodoxy had higher risks of obesity than those with moderate orthodoxy (AOR = 1.52, CI = 1.10, 2.09), and Ramadan eating habits were substantially associated with an opinion regarding obesity (AOR = 3.82, CI = 2.91, 5.00). The new study has made a significant contribution to our understanding of obesity by looking at how religious doctrine is understood and interpreted. This strategy is expected to be used in future studies on obesity and other health effects.

Trips and Readings from the Split House: Melville, Stone, Moby Dick, and Platoon | Chapter 8 | Modern Perspectives in Language, Literature and Education Vol. 9

In this essay, Oliver Stone's film Platoon is compared to Herman Melville's classic Moby Dick as stories in which two protagonists, Chris and Ishmael, leave their homeland on a perilous voyage. Ishmael joins the whaling Pequod, seeking whales in the world's oceans, while Chris goes to combat in the Vietnam woods. The conflicts of their split homeland, the United States of America, are present in both storylines. Platoon depicts the daily battle of a small unit in a military film where fighting sequences are central. Multi-ethnic troops conducting search and destroy operations reflect socioeconomic tensions in the US. Platoon is on the lookout for a tenacious and defiant foe of American science and military might. The novel Moby Dick is a metaphorical depiction of a divided America and Captain Ahab, who is obsessed with avenging himself on the White Whale. Platoon and Pequod are destroyed by American policy in Vietnam, much like Moby Dick. Using Michel Onfray as a guide, we view both stories as journeys that begin in a library and whose heroes imitate the Greek Achilles' gesture of fleeing a comfortable home life for the dangers of the world on their way to immortality. Whether in Pequod or Platoon, our heroes take the risk of eventually maturing with the help of a metaphorical family of brothers. Ahab and Barnes, their symbolic parents, are castrating, tyrannical, and oppressive. The heroes' complete independence occurs when they meet and eliminate their symbolic parents, bringing an end to their round trip back to the home from which they had set out.

The Persistence of Examination Misconduct in Nigerian Higher Education Systems: The Connection with the Degradation of the Family and Education Institutions | Chapter 1 | Modern Perspectives in Language, Literature and Education Vol. 6

 The continuance of test misconduct in Nigerian higher education systems was explored in this essay, as well as the dysfunctionality of families and educational institutions. The methodology used in the study was information gathered from a secondary source and content analysis. The longevity of examination misconduct has been connected to various issues, including bad parenting, a lack of good upbringing in the home, and corruption in educational institutions, according to R. K. Merton's idea of dysfunctionality. In its final observations, the report suggested that if families and educational institutions could actively execute their sociological responsibilities, the pace at which examination dishonesty is rising in tertiary institutions might be substantially reduced.

An Overview on Social Housing for Women Heads of Household in Congo Brazzaville | Chapter 3 | New Horizons in Education and Social Studies Vol. 7

 The findings of the general population census of 1974, 1984 and 2007 indicate a remarkable rise in the number of women and girls relative to men and boys. In the Republic of Congo, gender differences are still common, putting women and girls in a less desirable position than men and boys. There are less rights for women and girls, less knowledge, less access to all forms of resources, and more gender-based violence than their male counterparts. There are many single women in the population, divorced and widowed, who are the heads of their own households. Congo's decision-makers and policy partners are only shocked by the persistent urban housing crisis in Congo and the absence of a practical principle for the development of collective social housing. However, in order to permanently eliminate gender discrimination and restore the harm caused to women, how can marginalised female-headed households be housed? From four viewpoints, this article reviews the status of women and the current urban housing situation, including: form and size of household, housing content and surface area per member. The roots of the development of households, whose heads are invariably women, are celibacy, divorce and widowhood. In general, children's education and care for the elderly (senior citizens) are provided by women who have sufficient housing. The study proposes three key forms of social housing for women-headed households, with areas ranging from 25 m2 to 90 m2, on the basis of a literature review of population survey results. Thus, each member of the household profits from 8.50 m2 to 12 m2. The Delegation of the European Union to the Republic of the Congo, the Government of the Congolese Housing Bank (BCH) and the Sino Congolese Bank for Africa (BSCA) have been formed to play an important role in combating poverty and improving the living conditions of citizens.
