Abstract Background Bullying and peer victimization are the most pressing social problems affecting the wellbeing of children and adolescents. This study attempts to estimate the prevalence and examine the association of bystander’s sex, her/his relationship with the victim and with the bully, and bystander’s reaction to school bullying in East Gojjam Administrative Zone, Ethiopia. Methods This study followed an explanatory mixed-method study design. For the quantitative phase, 612 participants were selected using multistage cluster sampling techniques and for qualitative phase, 18 participants were selected using purposive sampling technique. We used self-reported questionnaires and semi-structured interviews to collect data from students attending grades 7, 8, 9, and 10. Results This study revealed that 55% of bystanders remained passive while 38% of them defended the victim upon witnessing bullying incidents. Pearson Chi-Square test for independence indicated a significant association between bystanders’ relationship with the victim and/or bully, and bystanders’ reaction. In contrast, sex has no significant association with bystanders’ reaction. The semi-structured interview data also suggested that large number of bystanders most often stood by passively while some of them defended the victim. Conclusion The practice of defending among students attending their education in governmental primary and secondary schools in East Gojjam Administrative Zone was low. Close social relationships (being close friends, relatives, and classmates) with the victim and bully were significantly associated with the practice of defending.

Stunting is a form of malnutrition, as a proportion of children under 5 years old whose height is below minus 2 standard deviations based on the WHO Child Growth Standards. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship of individual child factors with the incidence of stunting of children aged 24-36 months in Serdang Bedagai District, Sumatera Utara Province, Indonesia. This type of research is a case control study. The sample of this study amounted to 120 toddler, namely 60 cases and 60 controls with cluster sampling technique. Data was collected by interview technique using a questionnaire, and stunting data is determined by anthropometric measurements. Data analysis used chi-square test with α = 5%. The result showed that breastfeeding history, birth weight and birth length were related to the incidence of stunting in children aged 24-36 months (p <0,05; OR=2.1). It is suggested that there will be cooperation from various parties in overcoming nutritional problems during pregnancy and breastfeeding periods, such as increasing attention in the first 1000 days of human life, attention to nutrition of pregnant women as prevention of low birth weight and low birth length, which in turn affects stunting, as well as attention increase breastfeeding in infants.

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to determine different factors explaining the intention of public in context of blood donation in the district of Jamshoro, Sindh. Methodology: The data were collected of 400 samples from four different tehsils of Jamshoro. The data was collected through well-structured questionnaire. The survey was conducted in 2019 and cluster sampling technique was used. The internal consistency of the questionnaire was examined, and Chi-Square test was applied for final analysis. Findings: The public's willingness to donate blood is limited, according to this study (χ2 (1) = 0.88, p=0.39). The media does not perform any significant role in awareness generating and educating the general public about the importance of donating blood (χ2 (1) = 24.35, p=0.001). Women make up a small percentage of blood donors in society (χ2 (1) = 0.05, p=0.82). This research also compares blood donors and non-donors based on gender and age. The contribution of blood donors in younger age was higher (χ2 (3) = 19.31, p=0.01) in males (χ2 (1) = 27.98, p=0.001). Conclusion: The awareness of blood donation was higher in males, higher education, and young age peoples (18-28) years. Furthermore, the awareness about blood donation should be made known through electronic and print media along with the educational programs at educational institutions. Blood bank lab assistants should be given training to keep up to date with the latest information on blood donation, samples, and screening tests.
