Low contraceptive uptake among men remains significant issues in Indonesia. Hence, this study seeks to understand the association between socio-demographic factors and men’s contraceptive use in Indonesia by utilizing the 2012 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS), couple dataset. Bivariate analysis was conducted by performing a chi-squared test of independence to analyse the relationship between selected socio-demographic factors and the dependent variable. A binary logistic regression model was considered to identify the effects of covariates. Place of residence, husbands’ approval on family planning, husbands and wives knew family planning from newspaper/magazine, and the perception that contraception is woman’s business were significant predictors according to the IDHS. Programs related to gender-sensitive campaign about family planning and gender-sensitive curricula in schools are needed for encouraging men to use contraception.

This study aimed to determine the factors influencing the use of spacing contraceptive methods in India, particularly from men’s perspective. Data were obtained through a semi-structured interview schedule from 2687 married men aged between 18 and 40 years from central Mumbai City, India, during 1999. Chi-squared tests and binary logistic regression analysis was carried out to determine the relationship between various variables and the likelihood of a couple using spacing contraceptive methods. Of the 2687 couples, 1395 (51·9%) were using one or other method of spacing contraceptives and 1292 (48·1%) were not using any method at the time of survey. Male participation in contraceptive use was 23% (condom and withdrawal). The results indicate that the use of spacing contraceptive methods was significantly higher among those couples where the men desired one or two children (OR=4·3), had knowledge of five or more contraceptive methods (OR=1·9) and discussed with their wives obtaining family planning information (OR=3·2), spacing (OR=2·7) and permanent (OR=2) contraceptive methods. Age, income, desired number of children, knowledge of a greater number of contraceptive methods, inter-spouse communication regarding obtaining family planning information, spacing and permanent methods were found to be strong predictors of the use of spacing contraceptive methods. The study underlines the importance of intervention programmes aimed at promoting a small family norm, increasing the number of contraceptive choices available and encouraging inter-spouse communication. Hence, policymakers and programme managers should encourage interventions in this direction, targeting couples to enhance the use of spacing contraceptive methods.

Background: Knowledge of family planning (KFP) and contraceptive use play a vital role in controlling the level of fertility. The association between indigenous women's KFP and contraceptive use was badly found in inadequate studies. This study aimed to determine the factors that connect contraceptives use as well as gathering KFP of indigenous women.Methods: This study was carried out among purposively selected six Upazilas of Dinajpur district, where most of the indigenous peoples live. About 223 respondents were randomly selected for data collection by using a structured questionnaire. Univariate and bivariate analyses were used to describe the individual variables, and to find the associations among the variables. Binary logistic regression analysis was applied to determine the effects of selected socio-demographic factors on KFP and contraceptive use. Results: The results acknowledged that contraceptive use was found higher among school attended women (69%) and women (75%) of service holder husbands. Women who were involved in higher working status also use more contraceptives and are concerned about KFP. Pill and injections were more used among modern methods. Location, school attendance, educational and occupational status of the respondent and their husbands were found to be significantly associated with KFP and use of contraception among indigenous women.Conclusions: KFP and contraceptive use among women defined a gap was identified. By creating educational and employment opportunities for women to be enhanced the KFP and contraceptive use. Also, the socio-demographic factors needed to be taken into consideration in formulating policies and implementing programs among women.

The Empirical Analysis

Rural economies in developing countries are often characterized by credit constraints. Although few attempts have been made to understand the trends and patterns of male out-migration from Uttar Pradesh (UP), there is dearth of literature on the linkage between credit accessibility and male migration in rural Uttar Pradesh. The present study tries to fill this gap. The objective of this study is to assess the role of credit accessibility in determining rural male migration. A primary survey of 370 households was conducted in six villages of Jaunpur district in Uttar Pradesh. Simple statistical tools and a binary logistic regression model were used for analyzing the data. The result of the empirical analysis shows that various sources of credit and accessibility to them play a very important role in male migration in rural Uttar Pradesh. The study also found that the relationship between credit constraints and migration varies across various social groups in UP.

Background: The study of adolescents’ behaviours and attitudes is crucial to define interventions for the containment of deviance and social discomfort. New ways of social interaction are crystallising violent behaviours which are moving more than ever on a virtual sphere. Bullying and cyberbullying share a common behavioural matrix that has been outlined through specific environmental and individual characteristics. Methods: A survey carried out in Italy in 2019 on a statistical sample of 3273 students highlighted the influence of several social and individual variables on deviant phenomena. Risk and protective factors in relation to the probability of involvement in bullying and cyberbullying have been shown through a bivariate analysis and a binary logistic regression model. Results: The study shows that presence of stereotypes and social prejudices, tolerance to violence and high levels of self-esteem have resulted as the main risk factors. On the other hand, low levels of tolerance related to the consumption of alcohol and drugs, high levels of trust towards family and friends and being female have been identified as protective factors. Conclusions: This research confirms the validity of several theories on bullying and cyberbullying phenomena. Furthermore, it identifies specific risk and protective factors and their influence on deviant behaviours, with a focus on environmental characteristics which appear as the key field of work to enhance adolescents’ well-being.

INTRODUCTION: By examining the relationship between changes in maximum mild-expiratory flow( MMEF) and specific airway conductance(sGaw), parameters with the change in FEV1 when evaluating the spirometer test and the bronchodilator response, we investigated their diagnostic contribution to the bronchodilator response in those with partial responses to FEV1. METHODS: The retrospective study sample consists of data from 112 patients between Jun 1, 2019, and Feb 1, 2020 who applied to the pulmonary function laboratory with a pre-diagnosis of bronchial hyperreactivity as well as body plethysmography test performed together with the reversibility test. RESULTS: MMEF% and ▲sGaw were linearly correlated with ▲FEV1 (respectively r = 0.752; p <0.001, r = 0.611; p <0.001). While there was a significant difference between ▲MMEF% and ▲sGaw between reversible, partially reversible, and irreversible groups (P <0.001), there was no significant difference in ▲sGaw between partial reversible and reversible groups in post-hoc comparisons (P> 0.05). In the binary logistic regression model created between the partially reversible and reversible groups, demographic characteristics, MMEF% and ▲sGaw variables, ▲MMEF was an independent predictor [OR: 1.132; 95% CI (1.036-1.238), p = 0.006]. The 24% threshold for absolute reversibility or partial reversibility calculated with MMEF% was significant, indicating significance at 86.2% sensitivity and 80.8% specificity (AUC: 0.811, 95% CI: 0.686-0.936; p <0.001). This value we found defined 81% of the partially reversible group as reversible. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: We observed that ▲sGaw alone didn' have a determinant contribution for determining reversibility in bronchodilator response, which showed partial reversibility with respect to FEV1 change. We believe that ▲MMEF% can be an independent predictor between these two groups and the calculated threshold value of 24% can be used as a criterion for determining the reversibility in cases where FEV1 is not determinant.

The recent incident, the gang rape and murder of a 19-year-old woman in Hathras, a small village in Uttar Pradesh of India, once again sparks a debate on links between sexual violence and castes in India. This article aims to examine the links between sexual violence and castes in India. This study utilizes the national representative National Family Health Survey 4 (NFHS-4, 2015–16) data. A bivariate analysis was carried out to analyse the data. A binary logistic regression model was applied to predict the effect of explanatory variables, viz. type of place of residence, years of schooling complete, economic status in terms of wealth index and finally castes on predicted variable, i.e. sexual violence. The binary regression model indicates that there were links between sexual violence and castes. For secured and dignified life of women, caste-based sexual violence must be annihilated.

Background: Teen age pregnancy is associated with adverse labour outcome. Analysis of teenage pregnancy shown it was related to a range of social back ground, family and individual factors. Objective: To study the socio demographic factors related to teenage pregnancy and its complications. Methods: A cross sectional observational study was performed over a period of one year (September 2009- August 2010) at the obstetrics department of Chittagong Medical College Hospital. Consecutive six hundred pregnant mothers admitted for delivery that were fulfilled inclusion criteria included in study group. Among them 300 were teen aged (13- 19yrs) belongs to group A and 300 were adult (20-29 yrs) belongs to group B. Socio demographic factors like habitation, religion, family income, education, occupation, contraceptive use, pregnancy plan and antenatal care enquired. Labour complications i.e. prolong or obstructed, fetal distress, mode of delivery, stillbirth, birth weight and birth asphyxia was recorded on a preformed questionnaire and statistical analysis done by using SPSS package for windows version 12. Results: Teenage mother has significant lower mean age at delivery than adults (18.61-+72 vs. 23.87-+ 2.8yrs. P<.001) among teen mothers74% were Muslim, 69% from rural area and slum. 92% were house wife 7.3% service holder and 64.7% had primary education which almost similar as comparison group. Most of the teen mothers from low income group than adult (70% vs.30%).In group A planned pregnancy were (18.7% vs.24.7%) and contraceptive use ( 21.3% vs.72%) which significantly less in comparison to group B. Regular antenatal check up also(10% vs.26%, P<001) less in them. Teen mothers found more anemic (47% vs. 30%). Obstructed labour (14.2% vs. 10.6%) Eclampsia( 3.9% vs.2.1%) and fetal distress (24.2% vs.17.1%) more in A group whereas Prolong labour( 45.5% vs. 55.3%) and Hemorrhage(5.2% vs.14.2%) less in comparison with group B. Caesarean sections and instrumental deliveries significantly higher (59.3% vs.48.7%,) & (6% vs.2.3%) and fetal outcome adverse in teen mothers in comparison to adult mothers. Conclusion: Low socioeconomic condition, limited education, religious and cultural factors all appeared to be related with teenage pregnancy and its adverse outcome.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/cmoshmcj.v13i3.21017

Abstract Background: The diagnosis of keratoconus in the early stages of the disease is necessary to initiate an early treatment of keratoconus. Furthermore, to avoid possible refractive surgery that could produce ectasias. This study aims to describe the topographic, pachymetric and aberrometry characteristics in patients with keratoconus, subclinical keratoconus and normal corneas. Additionally to propose a diagnostic model of subclinical keratoconus based in binary logistic regression models Methods: The design was a cross-sectional study. It included 205 eyes from 205 patients distributed in 82 normal corneas, 40 early-stage keratoconus and 83 established keratoconus. The rotary Scheimpflug camera (Pentacam® type) analyzed the topographic, pachymetric and aberrometry variables. It performed a descriptive and bivariate analysis of the recorded data. A diagnostic and predictive model of early-stage keratoconus was calculated with the statistically significant variables Results: Statistically significant differences were observed when comparing normal corneas with early-stage keratoconus/ in variables of the vertical asymmetry to 90º and the central corneal thickness. The binary logistic regression model included the minimal corneal thickness, the anterior coma to 90º and posterior coma to 90º. The model properly diagnosed 92% of cases with a sensitivity of 97.59%, specificity 98.78%, accuracy 98.18% and precision 98.78%Conclusions: The differential diagnosis between normal cases and subclinical keratoconus depends on the mínimum corneal thickness, the anterior coma to 90º and the posterior coma to 90º.

Non Audit Services

The rapid development of non-audit services (NAS) has jeopardized the independence of auditors, which has led many Western countries to enact regulations that restrict the provision of NAS. While in China, NAS have just emerged, and its development in China is far less mature than in Western countries. The purpose of this paper is to explore whether NAS in China have damaged auditor independence and whether Chinese regulators need to emulate Western countries and strongly limit the provision of NAS. In order to achieve this objective, 213 Chinese listed companies are selected in this study. The audit opinions issued by the auditors are used as substitute variables for auditor independence (dependent variables), and the ratio of non-audit service fees to the total of audit service fees and non-audit service fees as a substitute variable for the provision of NAS (independent variable), and meanwhile some suitable control variables are also selected. Analyse these data by building a binary logistic regression model. The results show that there is no evidence in China that NAS can undermine auditor independence and there is no need for China to enact regulations to prohibit the provision of NAS.
