Objectives: This study investigated the role of information and communication technology and women's empowerment in contraceptive discontinuation in Indonesia. Methods: The study used data from the 2017 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey and monthly contraceptive calendar data. A Gompertz proportional hazards model was used for analysis. Results: The 12-month contraceptive discontinuation rate was higher among women who had used the Internet in the past year, women who were mobile phone owners, and women who reported having fully participated in household decision-making than among their counterparts. These factors significantly impacted the risk of contraceptive discontinuation in Indonesia, even after controlling for contraceptive method, age, parity, contraceptive intent, education, work status, place of residence, and wealth status. Conclusions: After adjustment for the control variables, a higher risk of contraceptive discontinuation was associated with having used the Internet in the past year, owning a mobile phone, and not participating in household decision-making. Higher contraceptive discontinuation risk was also associated with using contraceptive pills, older age, lower parity, intent of spacing births, more education, current unemployment, and rural residence, and the risk was also significantly higher for those in the lowest household wealth quintile than for those in the fourth household wealth quintile. The association of contraceptive discontinuation with the use of modern information and communication technology and relatively disempowerment in household decision-making may imply that information regarding family planning and contraception should be conveyed via social media as part of setting up an eHealth system. This must include a strong communication strategy to empower and educate women in contraceptive decision-making.

본 연구는 전기 소형화물차에 대한 구매보조금이 환경편익의 측면과 총보유비용 동등성 측면에서 볼 때 적정한 수준인지에 대하여 분석하였다. 환경편익에 대해서는 발전믹스에 따라 발생하는 환경오염물질 배출량을 고려하였으며, 기온분포에 따른 전기차의 효율변화도 반영하였다. 소형화물차의 경우, 경유차 대신 전기차를 운행함에 따른 환경편익은 차량의 총운행기간에 걸쳐 217~530만 원 수준으로 추정되었다. 또한, 현행 구매보조금 제도하에서 경유차 대비 전기차의 총보유비용은 사업용은 약 360만 원, 비사업용은 약 660만 원 낮은 것으로 추산되었다. 즉, 환경편익의 관점에서든 총보유비용의 관점에서든 보다 효율적으로 재정을 활용하고자 한다면 같은 예산이라도 전기 소형화물차에 대한 구매보조금 단가를 낮추는 것이 합리적이다. 그 대신 남은 예산은 화물차 전용 충전기의 확보와 같이 충전인프라를 고도화하는 데에 좀 더 집중한다면 잠재적인 구매자들의 금전적인 부담뿐만 아니라 충전 관련 불편함까지 줄여 전기 소형화물차 보급에 더 비용효과적일 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, we study an special type of cyclic codes called skew cyclic codes over the ring ${\mathbb{F}}_p+v{\mathbb{F}}_p+v^2{\mathbb{F}}_p$, where p is a prime number. This set of codes are the result of module (or ring) structure of the skew polynomial ring (${\mathbb{F}}_p+v{\mathbb{F}}_p+v^2{\mathbb{F}}_p$)[$x;{\theta}$] where $v^3=1$ and ${\theta}$ is an ${\mathbb{F}}_p$-automorphism such that ${\theta}(v)=v^2$. We show that when n is even, these codes are either principal or generated by two elements. The generator and parity check matrix are proposed. Some examples of linear codes with optimum Hamming distance are also provided.

In this paper, we suggest GP operators based on tree structure considering tree distributions in structure space and structural difficulties. The main idea of the proposed genetic operators is to place generated offspring into the specific region which nodes and depths are balanced and most of solutions exist. To enable that, the proposed operators are designed to utilize region information where parents belong and node/depth rates of selected subtree. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach, experiments of binomial-3 regression, multiplexer and even parity problem are executed. The experiments results show that the proposed operators based on tree structure is superior to the results of standard GP for all three test problems in both success rate and number of evaluations.

In this paper the back-propagation algorithm through omitting redundant learning has been proposed to improve learning speed. The proposed algorithm has been applied to XOR, Parity check and pattern recognition of hand-written numbers. The decrease of the number of patterns to be learned has been confirmed as learning proceeds even in early learning stage. The learning speed in pattern recognition of hand-written numbers is improved more than 2 times in various cases of hidden neuron numbers. It is observed that the improvement of learning speed becomes better as the number of patterns and the number of hidden numbers increase. The recognition rate of the proposed algorithm is nearly the same as that conventional method.

In this paper, we suggest tree-structure-aware GP (Genetic Programming) operators that heed tree distributions in structure space and their possible structural difficulties. The main idea of the proposed GP operators is to place the generated offspring of crossover and/or mutation in a specified region of tree structure space insofar as possible by biasing the tree structures of the altered subtrees, taking into account the observation that most solutions are found in that region. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, experiments on the binomial-3 regression, multiplexor and even parity problems are performed. The results show that the results using the proposed tree-structure-aware operators are superior to the results of standard GP for all three test problems in both success rate and number of evaluations.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate whether the methane (CH₄) to carbon dioxide (CO₂) ratio (CH₄/CO₂) and methane-related traits obtained by the sniffer method can be used as indicators for genetic selection of Holstein cows with lower CH₄ emissions. Methods: The sniffer method was used to simultaneously measure the concentrations of CH₄ and CO₂ during milking in each milking box of the automatic milking system to obtain CH₄/CO₂. Methane-related traits, which included CH₄ emissions, CH₄ per energy-corrected milk, methane conversion factor (MCF), and residual CH₄, were calculated. First, we investigated the impact of the model with and without body weight (BW) on the lactation stage and parity for predicting methane-related traits using a first on-farm dataset (Farm 1; 400 records for 74 Holstein cows). Second, we estimated the genetic parameters for CH₄/CO₂ and methane-related traits using a second on-farm dataset (Farm 2; 520 records for 182 Holstein cows). Third, we compared the repeatability and environmental effects on these traits in both farm datasets. Results: The data from Farm 1 revealed that MCF can be reliably evaluated during the lactation stage and parity, even when BW is excluded from the model. Farm 2 data revealed low heritability and moderate repeatability for CH₄/CO₂ (0.12 and 0.46, respectively) and MCF (0.13 and 0.38, respectively). In addition, the estimated genetic correlation of milk yield with CH₄/CO₂ was low (0.07) and that with MCF was moderate (-0.53). The on-farm data indicated that CH₄/CO₂ and MCF could be evaluated consistently during the lactation stage and parity with moderate repeatability on both farms. Conclusion: This study demonstrated the on-farm applicability of the sniffer method for selecting cows with low CH₄ emissions.

Background: Assessment of the nursing staff knowledge, attitude and practices about cervical cancer screening in a tertiary care teaching institute of rural India. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional, descriptive, interview-based survey was conducted with a pretested questionnaire among 262 staff nurses of a tertiary care teaching and research institute. Results: In this study 77% respondents knew that Pap smear is used for detection of cervical cancer, but less than half knew that Pap smear can detect even precancerous lesions of cervix. Only 23.4% knew human papilloma virus infection as a risk factor. Only 26.7% of the respondents were judged as having adequate knowledge based on scores allotted for questions evaluating knowledge about cervical cancer and screening. Only 17 (7%) of the staff nurses had themselves been screened by Pap smear, while 85% had never taken a Pap smear of a patient. Adequate knowledge of cervical cancer and screening, higher parity and age >30 years were significantly associated with self screening for cervical cancer. Most nurese held a view that Pap test is a doctor procedure, and nearly 90% of nurses had never referred a patient for Pap testing. Conclusions: The majority of nursing staff in rural India may have inadequate knowledge about cervical cancer screening, and their attitude and practices towards cervical cancer screening could not be termed positive.
