Age Of Menarche

Background: Population studies on characteristics of menstrual cycles are scarce. Knowledge on this variability is necessary for patient education and to guide clinical evaluation.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted and 622 school girls were selected randomly. A pretested questionnaire was used to gather data.Results: Mean age of participants was 16.9 ± 1 years. About 92.2% had attained menarche. Probit analysis of the status-quo data yielded median age at menarche of 14.8 (13.9-15.3) years and by recall method to be 15.8 ± 1 years. The mean age at menarche was, significantly, 0.3 years younger for urban females compared with rural ones. Cycle length between 21-35 days was observed in 70.3% of the girls. Mean duration of flow was 4 ± 1.3 days. Menstrual cycles were irregular in 42.8% of the subjects. Overall prevalence of dysmenorrhoea was 72%. and of PMS was 75.4%.Conclusions: Age of menarche was found to be significantly delayed. Considerable number of students complained of dysmenorrhoea and premenstrual symptoms.

The contingency plan was carried out for the seven highest villages in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region, as areas prone to eruption of Merapi Volcano. This contingency plan was prepared based on a scenario with a volcanic eruption index of 3, in the form of the collapse of a lava dome of 5 million cubic meters. The collapse of the lava dome formed a hot cloud that moved 6–9 km towards the Gendol River, Opak River, Kuning River, Boyong River and Krasak River. The number of exposed residents is 18,880. The emergency situation period is estimated to be 30 days, from the time the status is increased to Alert. This contingency plan was prepared in a participatory and collaborative manner, under the coordination of the Sleman Regency Regional Disaster Management Agency (RDMA). This process includes: (1) Updating the village level contingency plan as materials for the district level. (2) Formation of a substance team from local government, universities and non-governmental organizations, and (3) Conducting a series of workshops for related organizations to compile documents and equate perceptions on the adaptation of contingency plans with the Covid 19 health protocol. The preparation of this document also involves the participation of children, in order to express their opinions and needs in implementing emergency management.

AbstractThe swamp deerRucervus duvauceliiis the largest grassland-dwelling endemic cervid of India and Nepal. With a declining population trend across its range, this species is found in fragmented habitats of northern, north-eastern and central India and south-western Nepal. The northern swamp deer subspeciesRucervus duvaucelii duvauceliioccurs in small wetland patches across the states of Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh in India and has lost most of its habitat in the last century. Information about the distribution of the swamp deer in the upper Gangetic plains is limited, except in the Jhilmil Jheel Conservation Reserve in Uttarakhand and around the Bijnor barrage area of Hastinapur Wildlife Sanctuary in Uttar Pradesh. We surveyed the upper Gangetic plains between the Reserve and the Sanctuary, including some adjoining areas and three tributaries of the Ganges, to assess the status of these habitats, current swamp deer distribution and the threats faced by the species. We found several areas harbouring swamp deer within non-protected wetlands along the entire surveyed stretch of the upper Ganges and a previously unreported population in Uttar Pradesh. We documented major threats including habitat conversion, livestock grazing, poaching, conflict and other anthropogenic disturbances. We recommend community driven conservation and management ofRucervus duvaucelii duvauceliiin this fragmented landscape to ensure survival of this species and other threatened fauna of these wetlands and grasslands.

Underlying the nature of what is and is not a profession are education standards. Among the characteristics defining a profession’s specialized boundaries are the education standards comprising its academic programs. The status of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is explored for both emergency management and homeland security (EM/HS) at this point in time. The aim of this article is to increase the conceptual understanding of SoTL by discussing what SoTL is, explaining why it is important, exploring our current state of knowledge in this area, and by identifying current barriers and opportunities for improvement. Several possible means of better integrating SoTL into the EM/HS discipines are highlighted: Making SoTL a higher priority, increasing exposure to existing research, advancing knowledge within our own disciplines, sharing knowledge through publications and conferences, and applying knowledge in our teaching. Conclusively, the vital nature of SoTL research can more deeply establish the professional boundaries for both disciplines.

Background: Immunization is the effective method of preventing childhood diseases. One of the important elements for improving the immunization is cold chain and vaccine logistics management which are the left and right hands of immunization programme. Keeping this in mind, the present study was done with the objectives a) to ascertain the status of cold chain equipment and logistics management using GOI monitoring format and b) to ascertain the awareness and practice of cold chain handlers about cold chain equipment and logistics management in Durg district of Chhattisgarh, India.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among randomly selected 20 cold chain points (CCPs) of Durg district using standard GOI structured questionnaires.Results: Out of 20 cold chain points (CCPs), 20% CCPs, vaccine were found in frozen state. Functional thermometer was available in 75% CCPs, out of which 65% had temperature in the recommended range. Twice daily recording of temperature was found only in 95 % CCPs. Record of power failures and defrosting was noted in temperature log books in 70% CCPs. The correct placement of ice packs inside Deep freezer was observed in only one CCPs. T-series vaccine vials were placed properly in ILR in 85% CCPs. With respect to knowledge on freeze sensitive vaccine and shake test, 74 % and 53% of cold chain handlers had correct knowledge.Conclusions: The quality of immunization programme can be increased by proper maintenance of cold chain and management of vaccine logistics at every designated cold chain points. There is need to improve the knowledge level of CCHs regarding cold chain maintenances and handling practices.

Plane Crash

Background: There has been an increase in the incidence of disasters in many parts of the world. Similarly, Nigeria has witnessed a recent increase of man-made disaster events such as plane crash, fire incidents, flood, and building collapse, including bomb blast orchestrated by terrorists that often create emergency situations. Therefore, the aim of the study was to evaluate family emergency plan and preparedness among medical practitioners in Zaria.Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study (May-July, 2013) of medical practitioners in Zaria, Nigeria. The structured questionnaire sought the socio-demographic features of the respondents, the availability of emergency gate(s) in the house, education of safety measures within and outside the house, well-known located shut-off devices for gases, electricity, and water in the house, and written document/policy in the event of disaster. Also, planned orientations/drills/sensitizations, whether there is contact information of family members and supporting agencies.Results: Majority of the respondents were male 56 (80.0 percent) and fall within the age group of 46-50 years (20.0 percent). Only 8.6 percent admitted having an unwritten policy on emergency management in their houses. Similarly, only 8.6 percent do create time to teach their family members on emergency management. Only 27 (38.6 percent) had emergency supplies kits and among this group, water appears to be the most essential component that the respondents had paid attention to, leaving out special items. The communication plans of respondents to likely supportive services/agencies during disaster showed that majority had contact address or have affirmative plans for hospital and ambulance services than for radio and television stations.Conclusion: Family emergency plans and preparedness among medical practitioners in Zaria are extremely low. There is a gap between knowledge of what need to be done to enhance preparedness and internalizing preparedness recommendations in the study area.
