With the very high incident of tuberculosis, Pakistan ranks fifth globally among the 22 high tuberculosis risk countries. Amongst other factors, socio-demographic factors play a significant role in determining “knowledge of tuberculosis” Objectives: This study used secondary data from the Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey to estimate the impact of socio-demographic factors determining the knowledge of tuberculosis and conception on how it is spread. Data Source: The relevant variables and the other parameters were extracted from the both pdf and SPSS files of PDHS. Study Design: Bi-variant cross tabulation was used to determine the level of association between the hypothesized variables using the Pearson chi-square statistic. Results: Age and wealth index showed a highly significant relationship (p<0.0001) in determining the knowledge of tuberculosis. Moreover, the increasing level of education showed a decreasing trend of misconception about the spread of TB. Conclusions: Though the results of the study indicated a highly significant relationship between the socio-demographic factors and knowledge of tuberculosis, there is a dire need to launch awareness campaigns by the public and private sector organizations to enhance the level of correct knowledge and conception of large masses.

Objectives: To determine the frequency of exclusive breast feeding among working women of Multan and to identify associations between socio demographic factors and exclusive breast feeding. Study Design: Descriptive cross sectional study. Setting: Public and private organizations of Multan city. Period: From 22-07-2017 to 25-05-2018. Material & Methods: The total 227 working women were enrolled by nonprobability purposive sampling technique. Data was collected on a predefined questionnaire. Results pertaining to rates were reported as frequencies and percentages. Post stratification Pearson chi square test was applied to identify significance of associations between socio demographic factors of working women and exclusive breast feeding. Result: Mean age of our study cases was 28.24 ± 9.01. The frequency of exclusive breast feeding was noted as 44.5%. Post stratification Pearson chi square test revealed statistically significant associations between of certain socio demographic factors and exclusive breast feeding. Working women of younger than 30 years of age, urdu speaking ethnicity, banker by profession, living in nuclear family, more than 36 hours of work in a week, more than three children and shorter than two years of inter pregnancy interval were less likely to practice exclusive breast feeding. Conclusion: The frequency of exclusive breast feeding was below the rate of exclusive breast feeding in the general population of Pakistan as well as below those recommended by World Health Organization (WHO). Evaluations of national health policy and awareness campaigns are needed to increase the rate of exclusive breast feeding in working women.

The Impact

The prevalence of dyslexia identification has increased significantly over the last two decades. Yet there is debate over whether there are distinct biological and cognitive differences between those with literacy difficulties and the subgroup of people identified as dyslexic. This is the first paper that provides evidence for this ongoing debate by investigating the socio-demographic factors, outside biology and cognition, that predict whether a child is identified as dyslexic in the UK. Using secondary data from the UK’s Millennium Cohort Study, this paper examines the socio-demographic factors that predict whether a child’s teacher identifies them as dyslexic at age 11. Gender, season of birth, socio-economic class and parental income are found to be significant predictors of the dyslexia label. Therefore, factors seemingly unrelated to the clinical aspects of dyslexia influence whether a child is identified as dyslexic in England and Wales. This suggests that label may not be evenly distributed across a population; furthermore, it may also indicate that resources for support may not be fairly allocated. The findings further support the argument that a ‘dyslexic sub-group’ within poor readers is created due to the impact of environmental factors. The results from this national-scale study thus questions the reliability, validity and moral integrity of the allocation of the dyslexia label across current education systems in the UK.

The impact of preeclampsia is low birth weight (LBW) and death in mothers. This study aims to study the relationship between distance of pregnancy and parity with the incidence of preeclampsia in RSUD dr. M. Yunus Bengkulu in 2018. This study uses an Analytical Survey approach with a case control design. The population is all non-primiparous maternity mothers in RSUD Dr. M Yunus Bengkulu In 2018 as many as 342 people consisted of 51 case variables of mothers who had preeclampsia taken in total sampling and 51 control variables of non preeclampsia mothers taken by systematic random sampling with multiples of 6.

This study examines the relationship between dynamic capabilities (experience, routine, skills, firm characteristics, knowledge and technology) and competitive advantage sustainability in the Egyptian pharmaceutical sector. The data was collected using primary and secondary data sources. Primary data was collected from questionnaires distributed to 160 top managers in 20 pharmaceutical firms. The secondary data about pharmaceutical firms like rankings, revenues and market share was collected from external sources such as Intercontinental Marketing Service (IMS). The questionnaires examine six independent variables based on a five-scale Likert scale. The methodology used in the study is non-probability sampling (judgmental sampling), Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient and Chi-square tests. The results support the notion that there is a significant relationship between four of the six dynamic capabilities (experience, skills, firm characteristics and knowledge) and the competitive advantage sustainability for pharmaceutical firms in Egypt. Designing the questionnaire and formulating the questions to target the required field was challenging, given that the topic is dynamic and the business scene in Egypt has witnessed drastic political changes since January 2011. The study should assist pharmaceutical companies in Egypt in directing their investments properly and in determining the weaknesses in their dynamic capabilities that need to be addressed.
