Time to breastfeeding cessation and its predictors among mothers of index children aged 2–3 years in Bedele Town, Southwest Ethiopia: a community-based retrospective follow-up study
No full textBackground Breastfeeding ensures the survival and health of a child. The WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months and continuing for up to 2 years. However, the duration of breastfeeding is below what is recommended globally. In Ethiopia, more than a quarter of mothers stop breastfeeding before the second birth date. Information on time to breastfeeding cessation and its predictors is needed to address this issue.Objective To assess the time to the cessation of breastfeeding and its predictors among mothers who have children aged two to 2–3 years in southwest Ethiopia, 2022.Methods: A community-based retrospective follow-up study was conducted among 471 randomly selected mothers with children aged 2–3 years in Southwest Ethiopia from 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2022. An interviewer-administered pre-questionnaire was used to collect the data. The collected data were entered into Epidata version 4.6 and exported to STATA version 14.1 for analysis. Both bivariate and multivariable survival models were fitted. The Weibull proportional hazard model was used to identify predictors for time to breastfeeding cessation.Result The overall incidence of early cessation of breastfeeding was found to be 11.05 per 1000 person-months of the follow-up period. Nearly a quarter (23.38%) of mothers ceased breastfeeding early. Educational status (diploma and above) (AHR=2.49: 95% CI (1.27, 4.90)), not bottle feeding (AHR=0.32, 95% CI(0.13, 0.76)), complementary feeding before 6 months (AHR=1.82, 95% CI(1.40, 2.37), ≥4 ANC follow-up (AHR=0.60; 95% CI (0.37, 0.96)), number of children (2–4) (AHR=2.82, CI (1.73, 4.61)) and (>4) (AHR=3.66, CI (1.36, 9.87)) were independent predictors of early cessation of breastfeeding.Conclusion The time to breastfeeding cessation was higher than that reported in previous studies. Therefore, strengthening maternal health education and breastfeeding counselling at both the health facility and community levels is recommended
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

Intimate Partner Violence, prevalence and its consequences: a community-based study in Gambella, Ethiopia
Get PDFAbstractIntroductionIntimate partner violence is defined as any behavior by a current or past male intimate partner during marriage, cohabitation, or any other formal or informal union that causes physical, sexual, or psychological harm. Men are the most common perpetrators of this against women. It affects almost one-third of all women worldwide.ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess the prevalence, consequences, and factors associated with intimate partner violence among partnered women in Gambella town.MethodsA community-based, cross-sectional study design was employed. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select the study participants. Data was collected using a pretested, structured questionnaire. The data were entered and analyzed using SPSS software version 25. The bivariate and multivariate logistic regression method was used to identify factors associated with intimate partner violence. Variables with a p-value <0.05 were considered significantly associated with intimate partner violence.ResultsThe overall prevalence of intimate partner violence in the lifetime and the last 12 months was 58.8, 95% CI (54.0, 63.6), and 51.8, 95% CI (46.7, 56.8), respectively. More than half (53.3%) of the violence resulted in physical injury, while 32.9% were separated from their partners whereas, mother’s history of exposure to IPV [AOR: 1.8, 95% CI (1.03–3.27), p < 0.05], respondent’s age [AOR: 3.4, 95% CI (1.8, 6.5), p < 0.001], substance use [AOR:2.5, 95% CI (1.5–4.1), p < 0.001], disagreement on sexual intercourse [AOR:3.2, 95% CI (1.8–5.7), p < 0.01], monthly family income [AOR:0.32, 95% CI: (0.16–0.63), p < 0.01] and family size [AOR:2.8, 95% CI: (1.6–4.8), p < 0.01] were significantly associated with IPV.ConclusionThe study indicated that the prevalence of intimate partner violence was very high. Age of the woman, family size, substance use, economic status, were among factors significantly associated with intimate partner violence. Therefore, responsible stakeholders should respond to the deep-rooted and highly complicated gender inequality by implementing preventive measures
