Changing Trends

Emergency contraception is defined as the use of drugs or devices to prevent pregnancy after unprotected coitus. It is sometimes referred to as ‘morning after’ or postcoital contraception. Global rates of unintended pregnancy are alarming and would suggest that knowledge of, and access to, emergency contraception is an area that needs to be developed1. Emergency contraception has been called the best-kept contraceptive secret. Emergency contraception provides a safe and effective means of postcoital contraception and has been estimated to prevent at least 75% of expected pregnancy resulting from unprotected intercourse. Previous research shows that several regimens of postcoital contraception offer safe and effective ways for women to avoid pregnancy. Yet the methods are often unavailable to women in developing countries.

Introduction. Emergency or postcoital contraception is a method of contraception that is used within 72 hours after unprotected intercourse. It is very important that adolescents consider emergency contraception with awareness. It is not a regular method of contraception. The aim of this study was to examine the knowledge and attitudes of adolescents towards the use of emergency contraception. Material and Methods. The research was a cross-sectional study that used a specially designed questionnaire for adolescents intended to assess their knowledge about emergency contraception methods. The study included an intentional sample of 108 students attending the Medical High School ?Dr. Misa Pantic? in Valjevo. Participation in the study was voluntary and anonymous. Results. The largest number of students was informed about the indications for emergency contraception (80%, c2 = 0.004); the respondents agreed that emergency contraception is not a regular method of contraception and should be used in cases of sexual abuse (c2 = 0.019). Most of the respondents believe that they need additional education (N = 95, c2 = 0.032) regarding emergency contraception methods. Conclusion. The analysis of the results showed that the adolescents who participated in the study need additional education about the methods of emergency contraception. It is necessary to improve the strategies of health education of adolescents on this topic.

Voluntary work is considered one of important and effective means that is used to advance the status of societies and to meet necessary and urgent needs of its members, so its importance increases day after day, especially during circumstances' times, which society is exposed to destructive crises and wars. In developed or developing countries, they are able to meet and satisfy the needs of their members, so there was a need for another party to support and partner with government efforts and complement the role that government agencies play in meeting living, social, and economic needs, especially in conditions of instability, disintegration, and decrepitude that society experiences during crisis and disastrous wars that affect society and its members in various aspects of social, economic, security, and cultural life. The current study aims to identify the concept of voluntary work, its importance, types, and fields in society during wars and crises to identify the role that voluntary work plays within society in conditions of instability and cohesion that it suffers due to crises and wars.

 In developing countries like ours, environmental factors are not given that priority while managing solid waste. Poor planning and management is continuously resulting to environmental degradation and ecological imbalance. Composting, which is a traditional yet sustainable and environment friendly way of managing solid waste is being neglected. In this article, I have first tried to put forward the existing situation of waste management and waste disposal practices in our county and then to explain about how composting is being practiced in today’s scenario. I made field study in Sawal Bahal and Teku area and also referred to published information for this paper. I have tried to highlight the fact that composting, with a little effort from government side and each individual involved, it can prove to be a very effective means of managing solid waste. This practice will definitely help to boost the economic activities of the country. The later part of the paper explains the benefits of composting for each individual level to national level. Various factors whether it be environmental upgradation to new job opportunities or for best agricultural practices, composting can prove beneficial for all.Journal of the Institute of Engineering, 2017, 13(1): 215-220

Indications For Use

Aim.To find out the changing trends in indications for use of laparoscopy for diagnostic or operative procedures in gynaecology.Methods.This was a clinical audit of 417 women who underwent laparoscopic procedures over a period of 8 years from January 2005 to December 2012 in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at a tertiary care centre in Delhi.Results.A total of 417 diagnostic and operative laparoscopic procedures were performed during the period from January 2005 to December 2012. Out of 417 women, 13 women were excluded from the study due to inadequate data. 208 (51.4%) women had only diagnostic laparoscopy whereas 196 (48.6%) patients had operative laparoscopy after the initial diagnostic procedure. Change in trend of diagnostic versus operative procedures was observed from 2005 to 2012. There was increase in operative procedures from 10 (37.03%) women in 2005 as compared to 51 (73.91%) in 2012. The main indication for laparoscopy was infertility throughout the study period (61.38%), followed by chronic pelvic pain (CPP) (11.38%) and abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) (9.4%).Conclusion.Over the years, there has been a rise in the rate of operative laparoscopy. Though the indications for laparoscopy have remained almost similar during the years, laparoscopy for diagnosis and treatment of CPP and AUB has now increased.
