If you already find talking with parents about injury prevention a frustrating exercise, you may not want to read the article on bucket-related drowning published in this issues of Pediatrics.1 However, for readers, the article will strike a familiar chord. Bucket drownings are reminiscent of other serious or fatal injuries occurring in superficially benign circumstances: children becoming entrapped in household appliances and picnic coolers,2 children and adults suffering serious and fatal injuries from toothpicks,3 and teenagers being crushed to death beneath commercial soda-vending machines.4 Now, add to this list reports of injury associated with more hostile-appearing fixtures and products: entrapment by electrically operated garage doors,5 piercing skull injuries due to law darts,6 and esophageal burns caused by caustic pipeline cleaner used on dairy farms.7

Despite a high and growing global average income, billions of human beings are still condemned to life long severe poverty, with all its attendant evils of low life expectancy, social exclusion, ill health, illiteracy, dependency, and effective enslavement. The annual death toll from poverty-related causes is around 18 million, or one-third of all human deaths, which adds up to approximately 270 million deaths since the end of the Cold War.

Full textAbstract:
A cohort of cases initiating tuberculosis treatment from May 2001 to July 2003 was followed in Recife, Pernambuco State, Brazil, to investigate biological, clinical, social, lifestyle, and healthcare access factors associated with three negative tuberculosis treatment outcomes (treatment failure, dropout, and death) separately and as a group. Treatment failure was associated with treatment delay, illiteracy, and alcohol consumption. Factors associated with dropout were age, prior TB treatment, and illiteracy. Death was associated with age, treatment delay, HIV co-infection, and head of family's income. Main factors associated with negative treatment outcomes as a whole were age, HIV co-infection, illiteracy, alcoholism, and prior TB treatment. We suggest the following strategies to increase cure rates: further training of the Family Health Program personnel in TB control, awareness-raising on the need to tailor their activities to special care for cases (e.g., literacy training); targeting use of directly observed therapy for higher risk groups; establishment of a flexible referral scheme to handle technical and psychosocial problems, including alcoholism; and increased collaboration with the HIV/AIDS program.

The article explores the civil and parish death records and analyses the circumstances of the formation of the district of Beija-Flor, which came to be called Bela Flor in 1895, which gave rise to the vila de Guanambi, in the backland of Bahia. In addition to the causes of death, it investigates aspects related to socioeconomic status, lack of medical care, illiteracy, local politics, gender, and ethnicity. It checks the extent of the district, identifying 71 places of death. The high occurrence of maternal deaths, neonatal tetanus, tuberculosis, and infections in general, including epidemic outbreaks in 1892 and 1896, as well as the high number of deaths of people under 50, reflect the precarious health conditions experienced between 1891 and 1913.

ABSTRACT Introduction Prevention of maternal deaths is one of our foremost goals to provide safety to motherhood and to avoid loss to the family, society, and the nation. Maternal mortality ratio (MMR) of Uttar Pradesh is very high as compared to national average. Within the state, there is wide variation in MMR. The explanations and answers to these regional variations are complex. This study was planned with the objectives to explore each and every maternal death that had occurred in Baba Raghav Das Medical College in the last 4 years (2011—2014). Materials and methods In this study, data were collected from records of all maternal deaths that had occurred in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Baba Raghav Das Medical College, Gorakhpur from March 2011 to December 2014. Records of all maternal deaths during this period were scrutinized for socio-demographic profile, obstetric history, antenatal care history, causes of maternal mortality, time trend, geographical or regional distribution, admission and death interval, condition of patients on admission, outcome of pregnancy, and reasons for delay. Records of number of maternal deaths and live births were also collected for previous 11 years (2004—2014). Results Maternal mortality ratio has dropped almost six times in the last 11 years. Early age at marriage, illiteracy, poor socioeconomic status, and multiparity were found to be important determinants of maternal mortality and can act as risk factors. The pattern of causes of maternal deaths in this institute (preeclampsia) is different from that found in the community (postpartum hemorrhage). Delay in seeking care because of unawareness and illiteracy and ignorance was found to be the major contributing factor for most of the maternal deaths.

Background: Child mortality is considered as a core indicator for child health and well-being. SRS (December 2016) has shown that maximum IMR is in Madhya Pradesh which is 50 per 1000 live births and U5MR is 77 per 1000 live birth (2011). The study was carried out with the objectives to list out and categorize medical as well as socio-economic factors associated with these deaths and to evaluate the current status of child deaths in terms of the provision of health services and gaps in planning and execution of these services.Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on 42 deaths which occurred in Home settings in Bhopal District. A team visited the identified household and conducted in depth interview regarding the entire event related to antenatal care, place of delivery, intranatal and postnatal care, accessibility of the health services and quality of care rendered that contributed to poor child health that resulted in the death of the child.Results: Out of 42 child deaths covered, 23 took place in the neonatal period, of which 21 were home deaths. 47.61% were attended by trained birth attendant. Breastfeeding was started immediately in 94.11% neonates whereas 5.88% were breastfed second day or later. 19 deaths took place in the post neonatal period, of which 17 were home deaths. (68.75%) were breast fed immediately within one hour of birth.Conclusions: A majority of home based child deaths are occurring in families with high illiteracy rates and those belonging to BPL families.

IUFD is an important indicator of maternal and perinatal Health in a given population. Fetal death from Intra partum asphyxia and Rh is immunization has almost disappeared. Toxaemia and GDM contribute significantly to fetal deaths. There is a significant decline in still birth from unexplained causes. Most frequent reported causes of fetal death earlier were prolapsed of cord, abruptioplacenta, Hydrocephalus and rupture uterus. If the causes of IUFD can be found, an effective strategy for prevention of IUFD can be materialised and complications can be prevented. Methods: Retrospective study in Tertiary Care Hospital. Results: 35 out of 38 of the patients are belong to the age group of 20-30 years. With history of reduced fetal moments, background of pre ecclampsia and anaemia contribute significantly to fetal deaths. Conclusions: to seek treating physicians with history of reduced fetal moments and aggressive treatment of PIH and anaemia can reduce the burden of IUD in this tribal belt. Illiteracy is a big burden to train and educate women to seek good antenatal care and advice.

This study aimed at identifying the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on higher education sector in Yemen and the requirements of fighting the consequences. To achieve this objective, the study followed the descriptive content analysis method. The population and sample of the study were (46) items selected from the literature. Major findings revealed consequences of Covid-19 included suspension of university study, death of some university staff, spread of fear and anxiety among academic community, administrative staff and students, inability of Yemeni universities to use an alternative e-learning system (due to the lack of institutional technology), lack of e-learning material, bad internet services and the spread of technological illiteracy among most of teaching staff and students. In light of these findings, the study is concluded with a set of recommendations as follows: the creation of a unified body under the supervision of the two parties in Sana'a and Aden to manage Covid-19 crisis; strengthening awareness of protection; supporting medical services; providing the staff of the Ministry of Higher Education with health insurance; building technological capacity of universities to overcome technology illiteracy; and developing e-learning.

Full textAbstract:
Critical voices have long pointed out that contemporary Western civilization has a
twisted relationship with death. Many scholars seem to agree on one point: we are
living in a culture of death denial, death phobia and death illiteracy. Death has the
gravity to break the cultural hypnosis of living a life without limits; thus it plays a
central cultural role in the meaning-making and identity-forming processes.
However, the argument that a death-phobic culture has removed death from everyday
life is not wholly accurate. At the same time that physical death has been removed
from everyday life, representations of death have become pervasive in contemporary
cultural representation, with seemingly endless depictions of graphic violence and
death. This cultural phenomenon of death in the media brings into question the
consensus that death denial is a central cultural attitude. Our relationship with death
and violence and their interplay points to a schism between the private and public
handling of death. Psychoanalytic theories of the death drive — or Thanatos — first
introduced by Sigmund Freud and then further developed by scholars such as Herbert
Marcuse and Jacques Lacan, offer an explanatory framework for understanding the
ambivalent role of death and violence in our culture and how this cultural framework
shapes identity.
Building on the psychoanalytic theory of the death drive, I argue that this
schism in our relationship with death produces a trait within the individual that is
constituted by the inability to think about death, coupled with an obsessional
relationship with violent death and an excessive materialism. The constant
reciprocity of the anxious individual and a death-phobic society creates a status quo
in which the absence of mortality contemplation accelerates selves that yearn to
generate meaning through materialism and yet are unable to meet the existential
limits of life and environment. I argue that consumerism is the prevalent death drive
in contemporary culture and that it entails marginalizing authentic awareness of
mortality for the sake of symbolic immortality. For Erich Fromm, the death drive is a
character trait of malignant aggression, or what he calls necrophilia. In this thesis I
put forward the idea of the necrophile self — the cultural trait of death phobia within
the individual. I argue that the sense of self in late capitalist society is constituted by
the very thing we deny and most fear; death (deadness) becomes us.Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, School of Humanities, 2018

Full textAbstract:
How are art, love, and politics related to each other in Romeo and Juliet? Building on Adorno’s cautious linking of the lyric poem to society, and on Badiou’s inclusion of love (along with politics, art and science) among his truth procedures, this chapter explores the play’s association of love with art, paying special attention to the pilgrim sonnet. It then goes on to discuss the Friar as a (failed) political mediator between the individual ‘event’ of Romeo and Juliet’s love and the broader transformation of society. The chapter then argues that the anonymous, illiterate serving-man (from whom Romeo learns about the Capulet feast) points us towards the many accidents of birth that demand political redress in Verona. There is more waste of life, love, and talent than is represented simply by the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Only when we recognize this general waste, and our own responsibility to redress it, can we do justice to the play’s imbrication of love, politics and art.

Full textAbstract:
Roma continue to face numerous challenges in Serbia, including disproportionately high rates of illiteracy and school dropout, poverty, unemployment, and discrimination. The Serbian government has pursued education policies relevant for Romani children and youth, but implementation efforts have not resulted in educational inclusion nor in raising the economic situation of the Roma citizens. This chapter presents participatory evaluation results of an alternative educational program in Belgrade, Serbia, that uses the positive youth development (PYD) framework to assist marginalized Roma youth to enroll in the mainstream educational system. This mixed-method study consisted of in-depth interviews with 80 respondents and an empirical analysis of an original survey of financial well-being used to assess the overall impact of the program. Perhaps most importantly, the voices of the real experts on poverty and educational needs—the Romani youth and their families who have experienced these realities—personally are brought forth. One important finding highlights the need for both education and labor market policies to be designed and implemented in concert with each other and taking into account the need of Roma youth to contribute to families’ total income. Mainstream compulsory education can inadvertently hurt the Roma family who, with no expectations of long-term returns on educational attainment, view their son’s or daughter’s time in school as a loss of essential family income. These realities—a policy mismatch between what Roma need and government’s inclusion efforts—are explored in depth in this chapter.

Full textAbstract:
Teachers play a significant role in developing writing. They are responsible for teaching the younger generations exposed to technology through various gadgets. This study aims to better integrate technology in teaching writing in the Foundation Phase (FP). The premise for this study is the need to integrate technology in the Foundation Phase in order to attain educational goals. A qualitative case study was conducted that involved semi-structured interviews and the draw and talk/write method to gain in-depth knowledge of integrating technology to develop writing skills. For this study, the cognitive theory of multimedia learning (CTML) and sociocultural theory of learning were used as a theoretical framework. The participants were four Grade 3 teachers and 12 learners from two primary schools. This study indicated the importance of integrating technology in teaching writing, which subsequently led to more positive learning experiences for the FP learners. The study’s key finding is that FP teachers are technologically illiterate. As a result, it is suggested that a set of curriculum guidelines based on the interests of this generation of learners be produced to enable teachers and students in successfully integrate teaching and technology in the FP.

Full textAbstract:
The perinatal mortality rate, which is one of the important adverse pregnancy outcome and includes stillbirths and infant death within first week of life is estimated to be nearly 40 deaths per 1,000 pregnancies in Gujarat. Also the infant mortality rates have been estimated to be 50 deaths before age of one year per 1,000 pregnancies. It is stated that children whose mothers are illiterate or belong to low socio-economic class have two and half times more chances to die within 1 year of their birth compared to those whose mothers have completed atleast 10 years of education or belong to high socio-economic class. There are nearly 13% of women who does not receive proper antenatal care and facility during pregnancy. In India, there are nearly half of the women (52%) who possess normal BMI range: rest are either underweight or overweight. Approximately 55% of the women of total population in India are anaemic. These maternal parameters directly affect the children causing 48% of the children to be malnourished and 43% to be underweight. Therefore, it is imperative to examine the association of pre-pregnancy Body Mass Index (BMI) as well as Gestational Weight Gain (GWG) with diverse pregnancy outcomes such as gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension and also with preterm delivery, caesarean delivery, etc. The present study was designed to investigate the prevalence, GWG, various pregnancy outcomes of underweight, overweight or obese pregnant women, and to explore the relationship between pre-pregnancy BMI as well as gestational weight gain during pregnancy and adverse pregnancy outcomes. This is a prospective, multi-centric study involving pregnant women with gestation week ≤20 weeks in Ahmedabad in Gujarat region. Our study observed that out of 226 women enrolled, 44 women (19.47%) were underweight, 137 women (60.62%) were normal, 30 women (13.27%) were overweight and 15 women (6.64%) were obese. The incidence of caesarean delivery (56.92%) was found more in nuclear family as compared to joint family (46.92%). It was found that in women taking no junk food at all, the chances of LBW were 16.39%, which was less as compared to mothers who had junk food. It was also observed that amongst women taking 1 glass milk daily (42.92%), about 55.67% of had normal type of delivery. Amongst women taking 1 fruit daily (57.52%), 53% women had normal delivery. Present study spotted decrease in risk of caesarean delivery with increase in maternal haemoglobin level from 9.0 gm/dl till 12.0 gm/dl. Average weight gain observed in underweight was 12.93 ± 1.90, in normal 12.32 ± 1.71, in overweight 10.23 ± 1.28 and in obese 9.6 ± 1.50. A negative correlation was found between GWG and pre-pregnancy BMI, i.e. as pre-pregnancy BMI increase, the GWG decrease. The incidence of pre-term delivery (9.49%) was much less in normal BMI range. The average infant birth weight observed in underweight women was 2.63 ± 0.47, in normal was 2.9 ± 0.49, in overweight was 2.92 ± 0.56 and in obese was 2.95 ± 0.86. It is observed that highest birth weight is obtained in obese women, which decreases as the maternal BMI range decreases. The incidence of LBW in normal and overweight women was 15.33 and 16.67%, which was low as compared to obese and underweight women. Our study reveals that parameters such as GWG, type of family, intake of milk, fruits and junk food, haemoglobin concentration directly affects the pregnancy outcomes such as term of delivery, type of delivery and infant birth weight.

Background: Cerebrovascular diseases represent the second leading cause of mortality in the world and Brazil occupies the leadership in the ranking of mortality in South America. Objectives: This study sought to analyze the sociodemographic profile and the time trend of the mortality rate from cerebrovascular disease in the Northeast of Brazil, 1996-2016. Methods: This is an ecological study of time series involving deaths from cerebrovascular diseases in the Northeastern of Brazil, 1996-2016. Sociodemographic variables (age, schooling, marital status, skin color, ICD category and federation units) were included and calculated crude and standardized mortality rates, according to gender and age group. A joinpoint regression model was applied for the temporal analysis, with a level of significance of 5%. Results: There were 490.433 deaths from cerebrovascular diseases in the Northeast of Brazil, 1996-2016. Of these deaths, 50,03% (n = 245.354) were women, 79,72% (n = 390.957) elderly, 46,66% (n = 228.851) brown, 51,81% (n = 332.439) illiterate and 37,93% (n = 186.014) were married. Of the causes of death, 56,63% (n = 277.741) resulted from stroke, not specified as hemorrhagic or ischemic (I64). In the Northeast, there was a predominance of the elderly population, with growth of 1.2% (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Standardized mortality increased in four states, being higher in Maranhão and Piauí, with a predominance of females and age equal to or above 60 years.
