Magnitude and correlates of intimate partner violence against women and its outcome in Southwest Ethiopia.
No full textBACKGROUND: Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a major public health problem with serious consequences. This study was conducted to assess the magnitude of IPV in Southwest Ethiopia in predominantly rural community. METHODS: This community based cross-sectional study was conducted in May, 2009 in Southwest Ethiopia using the World Health Organization core questionnaire to measure violence against women. Trained data collectors interviewed 851 ever-married women. Stata version 10.1 software and SPSS version 12.0.1 for windows were used for data analysis. RESULT: In this study the life time prevalence of sexual or physical partner violence, or both was 64.7% (95%CI: 61.4%-67.9%). The lifetime sexual violence [50.1% (95% CI: 46.7%-53.4%)] was considerably more prevalent than physical violence [41.1% (95%:37.8-44.5)]. A sizable proportion [41.5%(95%CI: 38.2%-44.8%)] of women reported physical or sexual violence, or both, in the past year. Men who were controlling were more likely to be violent against their partner. CONCLUSION: Physical and sexual violence is common among ever-married women in Southwest Ethiopia. Interventions targeting controlling men might help in reducing IPV. Further prospective longitudinal studies among ever-married women are important to identify predictors and to study the dynamics of violence over time

‘Travellers of the Street’: Flãnerie in Beyene Haile's <i>Heart-to-Heart Talk</i>
No full textIn January 2008 the Eritrean capital of Asmara witnessed a theatre production that did not sit easily with the cultural imaginary of the country. Performed by a group of university graduates rather than the well-versed artists in government employ, Beyene Haile's Weg'i Libi, or Heart-to-Heart Talk, caused a stir among the local art-loving community in that it defied common strands of Eritrean theatre arts. Difficult to understand, with no clear plot or clear-cut message, it nonetheless drew crowds during the two weeks of its performance, largely because, as Christine Matzke suggests in this article, it allowed audiences to participate in the intellectual flânerie presented on stage. Basing her article on material collected in autumn 2008 and spring 2010, the author here provides an interpretation of the play and an outline and contextualization of its production process. Christine Matzke has spent well over a decade researching Eritrean theatre arts and cultural production. Her publications include the co-edited African Theatre 8: Diasporas (2009) and Postcolonial Postmortems (2006) on transcultural crime fiction. She teaches at the University of Bayreuth.</jats:p

Antimicrobial sensitivity pattern of Campylobacter species among children in Jimma University Specialized Hospital, Southwest Ethiopia
No full textAbstractBackground: Compylobacter species are the major causes of diarrhoeal illness in children in Ethiopia. Thus, updatedlocal information is very crucial in order to take effective control measures on this pathogen.Objectives: To determine the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of Campylobacter species in childrenyounger than 15 years of age.Method: A cross sectional study was conducted whereby stool specimens were collected from 430 children who haddiarrhoea and were investigated for presence of common enteric bacterial pathogens and intestinal parasites. Stoolspecimens were inoculated on Salmonella-Shigella agar and Campylo agar plates, and then isolation, biochemicalcharacterization, and antibiotic sensitivity testing were done in accordance with the standard methodology. Parasiteswere detected by direct stool microscopy.Result: Campylobacter species were isolated from 11.6% of the total patients. The isolation rates of Salmonella andShigella species were 5.8% and 4.9% respectively. Sixty five percent (283/430) of the children were found to beinfected by one or more parasites. Close contact with cats or dogs, duration and consistency of diarrhoea wereassociated with the isolation of Campylobacter species. The antimicrobial sensitivity study findings showed that alltested isolates were sensitive to chloramphenicol, gentamicin and kanamycin. A majority of the strains ofCampylobacter species were sensitive to tetracycline and erythromycin. The majority and half of the isolates wereresistant for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and ampicillin, respectively.Conclusion: The findings of this research indicate that Campylobacter species is an important etiological agent ofchildhood diarrhoea and therefore, it should be properly diagnosed in routine investigation and physicians shouldprescribe the appropriate drugs either after sensitivity testing or, in areas where there are no facilities for culturing,they have to refer updated information on local sensitivity pattern.
