Low birth weight infant mortality is one of the causes of high infant mortality (AKB) in Indonesia. Infant mortality can be prevented by improving the quality of the baby's health through growth and development. One of the efforts to improve the quality of baby health. The study aims to prove the difference in BBLR BB increase through Indian and Johnson way baby massage. The method used is Quasy Experimen with pretest-posttes design. The population is a low birth weight baby born in RSIA Pertiwi Makassar period July – September 2018. The study sample numbered fourteen that met the criteria. Seven babies were massaged the Indian way and seven babies were massaged johnson's way. Massage is done twelve times at intervals three times a week. Fifteen minutes at a time. The instruments used are baby scales and observation sheets. Univariate data analysis showed the average increase in BB for Indian way baby massage was fifty-one percent,while theaverage weight gain for Johnson's way of baby massage was fifty-three percent. Statistical tests with mann-Whitney U, showed that there was no significant difference in BBLR BB increases between indian and johnson massage. The conclusion of this study is the indian and Johnson way baby massage can both increase BB BBLR.

Abstrak Latar belakang : Angka Kematian Bayi (AKB) yang tinggi masih menjadi permasalahan di Indonesia. Berbagai upaya telah dilakukan untuk menurunkan angka morbiditas dan mortalitas. Salah satunya dengan pemberian ASI eksklusif. Namun, cakupan ASI eksklusif di Indonesia masih belum mencapai angka yang diharapkan. Pada tahun 2017 cakupan pemberian ASI eksklusif di Surabaya terendah berada di Kelurahan Sidotopo Wetan, yaitu sebesar 51,94%. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan frekuensi sakit bayi usia 6 – 12 bulan yang diberikan ASI eksklusif dan non ASI eksklusif. Metode : Jenis penelitian analitik observasional dengan rancangan penelitian cross-sectional. Sampel sejumlah 102 ibu yang memiliki bayi usia 6 – 12 bulan ( 53 bayi ASI eksklusif dan 49 bayi non ASI eksklusif). Sampling dengan cluster sampling. Variabel dependen adalah frekuensi sakit, variabel independen adalah bayi usia 6 – 12 bulan yang diberikan ASI eksklusif dan non ASI eksklusif. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah kuesioner. Analisis data menggunakan chi square(α = 0,05). Hasil : Bayi dengan ASI eksklusif sebagian besar memiliki frekuensi sakit yang jarang (79,2%), sedangkan bayi non ASI eksklusif sebagian besar memiliki frekuensi sakit yang sering (85,7%). Hasil uji chi square( p<0,001, OR=22,9), yang berarti bahwa terdapat perbedaan frekuensi sakit pada bayi usia 6 – 12 bulan yang diberikan ASI eksklusif dan non ASI eksklusif di Kelurahan Sidotopo Wetan, Surabaya. Kesimpulan : Bayi yang diberikan ASI eksklusif memiliki frekuensi sakit lebih jarang daripada bayi yang tidak diberikan ASI eksklusif.Abstract Background: High Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) is still a problem in Indonesia.

Background: Poor maternal health among Indian women is of global significance because India is home to 1/5th of the world’s births. 27% of these newborn babies in India are low birth weight (LBW), an important cause of high infant mortality. This study was conducted among puerperal women who delivered LBW babies in our hospital to know the various factors pertaining to socio-demographic, obstetric and anthropometric characteristics.Methods: this observational study was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Bhaskar medical college and hospital, Moinabad, Hyderabad from January 2016 to June 2017. The study sample were those who delivered LBW babies in our hospital and a set questionnaire was used to collect the relevant details.Results: 75% of these mothers were in the age group of 20-25 years, 73.5% had more than 10 years of schooling. About 64% of these women had their 1st antenatal visit in 1st trimester of pregnancy and 54% had their 1st ultrasound in 1st trimester. 36 babies had NICU admission, either at our hospital or at a level III NICU facility, and all had good neonatal outcome.Conclusions: The state must endeavor to make quality health free and easily accessible to pregnant women so that all can avail these services to better the maternal and neonatal outcomes. This will be helpful in improving the overall health of our population over the next few decades.

Despite high growth, nutritional deficiencies remain a critical problem, affecting infants, children, men and women in Bihar. Although, there is an improvement in the situation of malnutrition in the state, the agenda remains incomplete. Studies show that agriculture plays an important role in the improvement of nutritional levels. Though the state government has initiated schemes related to agriculture development in the region, the prevalence of malnutrition among children, the high infant mortality rate and the higher percentage of men and women with low body mass index (BMI) continues to raise serious questions about the connection between agriculture and nutrition in Bihar. Against this background, the present study seeks to identify linkages between agriculture and nutritional status in the state. The findings of this study is based on a correlation analysis and factor analysis, using cross-section data collected from secondary sources. The analysis indicates that a diversification in agriculture, an improvement in women’s literacy and women’s access to household resources have had a significant impact on the nutritional situation in Bihar.

The absorption of quality human resources is needed by companies along with the development of investment in Indonesia and industries that meet the domestic market and increase export production. In Indonesia alone, there are nearly 50 million workers with low levels of welfare such as street vendors, manufacturers, farmers. The quality of human resources itself is influenced by the level of poverty in the country. In this case the poverty rate affects education, training and the human resource environment which is an important basis for becoming a quality workforce. A total of 18 provinces that have a medium or low HDI category include Papua, West Papua and East Nusa Tenggara, among others. Access to technology and education as well as a fairly high infant mortality rate are the main causes of the low Human Development Index, including government policies that have not prioritized the development of the quality of human resources.

Abstract Background Nepal has a high prevalence of congenital anomaly contributing to high infant mortality. Ultrasound, an important tool to detect congenital anomalies and manage maternity-related risk factors, is not properly used in Nepal because Nepali doctors have limited opportunities for learning ultrasound techniques. Hence, we developed and implemented an ultrasound education program from 2016 to 2018. The objective of this study is to evaluate the education program using the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework. Methods We conducted a mixed-method study to evaluate each component of RE-AIM. The team collected quantitative data from administrative records, tests, surveys, and an online follow-up survey. Qualitative data were collected from individual in-depth interviews at least a year after the program. The proportions, means, and t-tests were used for quantitative data, and thematic coding for qualitative data. Results A total of 228 healthcare workers representing 27.3% of the districts of Nepal were reached from 2016 to 2018. The program improved participants’ knowledge (29.3, 8.7, and 23.8 increases out of 100, each year, p< 0.001, n=85) and self-confidence (0.6, 0.3, 1.3 increases out of 4.0, p< 0.01, n=111). The participants were highly satisfied with the program (4.2, 4.1, and 4.0 out of 5.0, n=162). Among the respondents of the online follow-up survey (n=28), 60.7% had used ultrasound in their daily practice after the education program, and a medical institution established an ultrasound training center. The absence of clear accreditation and practical guidelines in ultrasound use were presented as barriers for adoption and maintenance. Conclusion The program was successful in improving participant’s knowledge and self-confidence in ultrasound techniques and showed great potential for the adoption and maintenance of the techniques in their practice. Continuous implementation of the program and institutional policy changes to facilitate ultrasound use may increase the ultrasound use and improve ultrasound service quality in Nepal.

The study deals with the dilemma of son preference and its causes and consequences. The fieldwork was conducted in village 'Danyor' in Gilgit-Baltistan, for the period of six months. Socio-economic survey was conducted from seventy-five households, detailed in-depth interviews were taken from thirty respondents in addition to 35 case studies. The field findings revealed the prevailing perceptions are sons as powerful and socially strong, owner and successor of family property, old age security for parents, symbol of prestige, custodian of family strength and honor etc. On the contrary, daughters are considered as burden of dowry and financial dependency on parents. The study concludes that son preference results in many discriminatory practices against female child such as abortion of female fetus, high infant mortality, lower status of daughters bearing mother in the family, short birth spacing, high probability of husband's remarriage and increased chances of being divorced.

Secularization is accelerating. From 1981 to 2007, more than two-thirds of the publics for which we have data became more religious, but then a major shift occurred: from 2007 to 2020, more than four-fifths of these publics became less religious. Up to 2007 the U.S. showed little change, but since then it showed the largest shift of any country away from religion and now ranks among the world’s least religious publics. One generally overlooked reason for accelerating secularization is that, for centuries, most religions encouraged pro-fertility norms that limit women to producing as many children as possible and discourage any sexual behavior not linked with reproduction. These norms were needed when facing high infant mortality and low life expectancy but now are rapidly giving way to individual-choice norms supporting gender equality and tolerance of divorce, abortion, and LGBTQ people. Pro-fertility norms are so strongly linked with religion that abandoning them undermines religiosity.

Secularization has accelerated. From 1981 to 2007, most countries became more religious, but from 2007 to 2020, the overwhelming majority became less religious. For centuries, all major religions encouraged norms that limit women to producing as many children as possible and discourage any sexual behavior not linked with reproduction. These norms were needed when facing high infant mortality and low life expectancy but require suppressing strong drives and are rapidly eroding. These norms are so strongly linked with religion that abandoning them undermines religiosity. Religion became pervasive because it was conducive to survival, encouraged sharing when there was no social security system, and is conducive to mental health and coping with insecure conditions. People need coherent belief systems, but religion is declining. What comes next? The Nordic countries have consistently been at the cutting edge of cultural change. Protestantism left an enduring imprint, but 20th-century welfare added universal health coverage; high levels of state support for education, welfare spending, child care, and pensions; and an ethos of social solidarity. These countries are also characterized by rapidly declining religiosity. Does this portend corruption and nihilism? Apparently not. These countries lead the world on numerous indicators of a well-functioning society, including economic equality, gender equality, low homicide rates, subjective well-being, environmental protection, and democracy. They have become less religious, but their people have high levels of interpersonal trust, tolerance, honesty, social solidarity, and commitment to democratic norms. The decline of religiosity has far-reaching implications. This book explores what comes next.
