Background: Facial width-to-height ratio (fWHR) is a stable facial structure, and several studies investigated the predictive effects of fWHR on individual traits and behaviors. There is a dearth of data regarding the relationship between fWHR and success in business in terms of income level. The aim of this study was to correlate fWHR with monthly income of traders at kantin kwari market of Kano State. Materials and method: The participants were selected using simple random sampling technique with their consent and their Bio-data (age, sex, marital status, educational achievement, assets and other properties) and monthly income status were enquired for and recorded appropriately. The statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 20. A Pearson’s correlation was carried out on the entire study population as well as based on the number of children, and number of wives. Results: A significant inverse association between fWHR and income level among participants with ≤ 2 children was obtained (r= -0.29, P= 0.035). Conclusion: the number of children a participant has, is a moderator for the relationship between fWHR and monthly income and higher value for fWHR predicted lower monthly income.

SummaryThis paper presents an ecological analysis of the relationship between infant mortality and economic status by race in metropolitan Ohio, using census data on mother's residence, and economic status determined by the percentage of low income families living in each area. White–non-white comparisons for total infant mortality are examined for the US censuses of 1960, 1970, 1980 and 1990; and more detailed period- and broad cause-specific rates are presented for 1990. A pronounced inverse association is found between income status and infant mortality for whites, but not for non-whites. Non-white post-neonatal death rates were higher for the lowest income area, but for neonatal mortality, total infant deaths, and exogenous and endogenous cause-specific death rates, there was no discernible socioeconomic differential. It is concluded that low income whites and non-whites at all income levels have infant mortality rates that are substantially higher than the overall rate for the population. Policy implications are discussed.

Abstract Background There are limited data on the use of contraception by Thai Muslim women. Objectives To compare and explore the knowledge, attitudes toward, and practices (KAP) of contraception between Thai Muslim women living in Bangkok and those living in the Southernmost provinces. Variables associated with KAP were also examined. Methods This was a community-based cross-sectional study, which was conducted in the Muslim communities in Bangkok and those in the southernmost provinces of Thailand including Yala, Pattani, and Narathiwat. A multistage, cluster sampling technique was used to identify participants. Only literate Thai Muslim women who lived in their hometown, and aged between 15–49 years were included in the analysis. A self-administered questionnaire was used to assess participants’ KAP of contraception. Results Data from 423 participants were analyzed. Knowledge and attitude scores between the two groups were comparable. A higher proportion of women from the southernmost provinces used contraceptives. However, when a multivariate regression model was used to adjust for other variables, women’s geographical residence was not associated with higher knowledge and attitude scores, or contraceptive practices. College-level education and higher income level were independent factors associated with contraceptive knowledge. A higher knowledge score was independently related to a positive attitude towards contraception. Only number of children and income level were independently associated with contraceptive practices. Conclusions For Thai Muslim women, geographical residence was not significantly associated with KAP of contraception. The educational level, income level, and number of children of the women played major roles in KAP of contraception.

A study to assess the correlation between frustration and family climate among undergraduate students of selected colleges at Kollam. The objectives of the study were to: a) assess the frustration among undergraduate students of selected colleges at Kollam. b) assess the family climate among undergraduate students of selected colleges at Kollam. c) find out the association between frustration and selected demographic variables among undergraduate students of selected colleges at Kollam. d) find out the association between family climate and selected demographic variables among undergraduate students of selected colleges at Kollam. e) assess the correlation between frustration and family climate among undergraduate students of selected colleges at Kollam. A quantitative research approach was adopted. Sampling technique adopted was convenient sampling. Sample size was 100. The investigators assessed undergraduate college students using questionnaires on frustration and family climate. The study showed that 23% of students had high frustration, 46% had moderate frustration and 31% had low frustration. 29% of students had unfavorable family climate 52% had moderate family climate and 19% favorable family climate. There was no association found between frustration and selected demographic variables. But an association was found between family climate and selected demographic variables such as age, type of family and type of residence. There was no association found between family climate and selected demographic variables such as sex, education of parent, occupation of parent, monthly income of parent and type of course. The value of r was -0.09. So, there was a slight negative correlation between frustration and family climate. The relationship between the two variables is weak. That is when family climate become favorable frustration decreases and vice versa.

The study was undertaken to identify the factors influencing women empowerment, calculate empowerment index considering the trend of employment. In doing so, the study utilized the data collected by the field survey from Mymensingh districts of Bangladesh. A total number of 60 women respondents were selected using random sampling technique and were categorized into two groups, employed and non-employed, each group comprised equal number of respondents, i.e., 30 women. Data were analyzed using simple statistical techniques as well as OLS regression analysis. An analysis of the socioeconomic status of the women showed that average monthly income difference between employed and non-employed women was BDT 3916 such high difference in average monthly income enabled 70% of the employed women to be empowered whereas with negligible earnings, only 33% of the non-employed women were empowered. The result of the OLS method suggests that the number of children, age gap between husband and wife and income gap between husband and wife significantly affect women empowerment. The five domains of empowerment index indicated that in case of employed group the highest disempowered women (69.44%) in case of leadership domain followed by Production (35.56%), resource (32.41%), income (32.41%) and time domain (23.15%) and in case of non-employed group the highest disempowered women (35.19%) in case of resource domain followed by production (34.57%), leadership (32.10%), income (30.86%) and time domain (4.94%). Results showed that the employed women are more empowered than non-employed women. Therefore, this study strongly suggests that women should be given all the facilities to get involved with income generating activities.Progressive Agriculture 27 (3): 301-310, 2016

SummaryThis study presents an ecological analysis of the relationship between infant mortality and economic status by race in metropolitan Ohio, using census data on mother’s residence and economic status determined by the percentage of low-income families living in each area. The analysis updates previous studies as white–non-white comparisons for total infant mortality are examined for the US censuses of 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990 and 2000; and more detailed period- and broad cause-specific rates are presented for 2000. A pronounced inverse association is consistently found between income status and infant mortality for whites, while for non-whites this pattern first emerges in 1979–81, disappears during the 1980s and then returns more strongly during the 1990s. Similarly, the 2000 data reveal a consistent inverse pattern between income status and infant mortality for white and non-white neonatal and postneonatal death rates, as well as exogenous cause-specific death rates. It is concluded that low-income whites and non-whites have infant mortality rates substantially higher than the overall rate for the population. Policy implications are discussed.
