Complications from preterm birth are a leading cause of infant mortality, with long-term implications for morbidity and quality of life of preterm infants. There are many important risk factors for preterm births however in this article, we focus on the maternal infection etiological pathway, given its significance in low-to-middle income countries. In high preterm birth settings such as sub-Saharan Africa, maternal HIV infection and antiretroviral therapy (ART) use have been associated with an increased risk of preterm births. Consequently, we highlight methodological considerations related to selection and measurement bias in preterm birth research. We further illustrate the potential impact of these biases in studies investigating the relationship between HIV/ART and preterm births. We also briefly discuss issues related to population-level estimations based on routinely collected clinical or civil registration data. We conclude by emphasizing the importance of strengthening of antenatal care services to improve quality of population data as well as optimizing current and future study designs, by taking into account the important methodological considerations described in this article.

AbstractComplete or improving civil registration systems in sub-national areas in low- and middle-income countries provide several opportunities to better understand population health and its determinants. In this article, we provide an assessment of vital statistics in Kerala, India. Kerala is home to more than 33 million people and is a comparatively low-mortality context. We use individual-level vital registration data on more than 2.8 million deaths between 2006 and 2017 from the Kerala MARANAM (Mortality and Registration Assessment and Monitoring) Study. Comparing age-specific mortality rates from the Civil Registration System (CRS) to those from the Sample Registration System (SRS), we do not find evidence that the CRS underestimates mortality. Instead, CRS rates are smoother across ages and less variable across periods. In particular, the CRS records higher death rates than the SRS for ages, where mortality is usually low and for women. Using these data, we provide the first set of annual sex-specific life tables for any state in India. We find that life expectancy at birth was 77.9 years for women in 2017 and 71.4 years for men. Although Kerala is unique in many ways, our findings strengthen the case for more careful attention to mortality records within low- and middle-income countries, and for their better dissemination by government agencies.

Previous studies have indicated gender-based discriminatory practices as a result of son preference up to the first half of the 20th century in Greece. Demographic indices calculated from published vital statistics, such as sex ratios at birth and at childhood, were distorted to such an extent that certain scholars suggest that this distortion was due to sex-selective infanticide and neglect of the girls. Although we cannot exclude this possibility, the aim of this paper is to assess to what extent under-registration of female births (in the civil registration system) and under-enumeration of females (in censuses) accounted for the skewed sex ratios and to pinpoint that gender-based discrimination was not the same all over Greece. There were areas in insular Greece, notably the Ionian islands and the Aegean Archipelago, and one area in mainland Greece (Epirus) where demographic indices imply that gender inequalities were less acute. On the other hand, there were areas in mainland Greece, notably in Thessaly, where sex-differential mortality denotes extremely unequal treatment of girls.

The appointment and the dismissal of the Head of Department of Population and Civil Registration as a Primary High Officer Position in regency are under the authority of the Minister of Home Affairs, not the Regent. The regent is only authorized to make proposals for appointment (and dismissal) through the Governor and includes proposals for three names of candidates for appointment,  then one of them be elected by the Minister, stipulated by a Ministerial Decree, and inaugurated. The appointment and the dismissal of officers in Disdukcapil carried out by the Regent of Muratara Regency is illegal, considering that the dismissal of the head of Disdukcapil Department (Kadisdukcapil) and his new appointment in 2016 was carried out by the Regent, not by the Minister. Besides, there are no reasons and considerations (including the proposal for the appointment of an official candidate) for the dismissal of the previous Kadisdukcapil as stipulated in Permendagri Number 76 of 2015.

The Balikpapan Population and Civil Registration Office has implemented service automation by using an information system to support the population and civil registration administration services in Balikpapan, Indonesia. The information system implemented is called The Population Administration Information System (SIAK). The office has previously implemented an information system similar to SIAK, namely the Population Administration Organizing System (SPAK). One of the office aims is to improve the quality of SIAK. SIAK quality is improved in order to achieve optimal service. As a step of achieving vision and mission, implementing work functions and optimizing the utilization of information systems, the comparison of information system performance between information systems that have been used with information systems that have previously been used. The guidelines used in assessing the performance of both systems are Information System Functional Scorecard (ISFS) theory. The data collected by questionnaires then conducted Paired-T Test so that the results of the two systems were obtained differences and can be compared to know which system is superior. SIAK is an information system that is declared superior to SPAK. Furthermore, the comparison results become a reference in providing recommendations for SIAK performance improvement based on the performance comparison results with SPAK.

Data collection techniques used through documentation studies, interviews and observations. The data analysis of this research is data reduction, data presentation, conclusion drawing and verification</p><p>The widespread use of touts' services are still found in population administration services. This happened because people feels that services in population administration must go through complicated and long bureaucratic procedures. In fact, as bureaucratic reforms and government policies progressed, population administration services became easy, simple and free. On the other hand, using the services of touts makes management costs expensive and becomes an illustration of the low quality of service. Based on these problems, we need a new innovation that is "INFO CEPAT, INFO KILAT", by utilizing the WhatsApp application with the automatic reply method and as a means that can be used to find information about village counter services and can conduct consultations on population document issues. Hoped with this innovation, that the Loket Desa innovation service can be free from touts.</p>
