Adolescent pregnancy and its consequences represent a major public health concern in many low-middle income countries of the world. The World Health Organization has recently developed evidence-based guidelines addressing six areas: preventing early marriage; preventing early pregnancy through sexuality education, increasing education opportunities and economic and social support programs; incr...

BACKGROUND The circumstances under which women obtain unsafe abortion vary and depend on the traditional methods known and the type of providers present. In rural Tanzania women often resort to traditional providers who use plant species as abortion remedies. Little is known about how these plants are used and their potential effect. METHODS Data were obtained among women admitted with incomp...

Intraoperative ventilatory failure is not an uncommon complication; however, acute endotracheal obstruction by a foreign body or blood clot can be difficult to quickly discriminate from other causes. Once the diagnosis is made, quick action is needed to restore ventilation. The ultimate solution is to exchange the endotracheal tube; however, there can be other ways of resolving this in situatio...

Segment reinforcement corrosion can cause bearing-capacity degradation of shield tunnel, which is unsafe for the metro operation. Therefore, a three-dimensional computational model was proposed in this paper to study rate and rust expansion form segment by combined action soil loading, chloride ion stray current. The results show that arch waist steel middle larger than ends. appears be an ecce...

Introduction: Every year 21.6 million women die due to unsafe abortions most of which are conducted unethically. Out of this 21.6 million women, 18.5 million women die alone in the developing countries and a further 47,000 women from complications of unsafe abortions each year. According to WHO, close to 13% of unsafe abortions is the main cause of all maternal deaths. (http://www.who.int/repro...

Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) can be significantly improved with effective driver action prediction (DAP). Predicting driver actions early and accurately can help mitigate the effects of potentially unsafe driving behaviors and avoid possible accidents. In this paper, we formulate driver action prediction as a timeseries anomaly prediction problem. While the anomaly (driver actions ...

A component of the software that controls traffic lights usually is devoted only to monitoring the state of the traffic junction, to assess its safety, and to take appropriate action if an unsafe state occurs. That component, the safety controller, should be reusable for many traffic junctions. We present the specification of such a safety controller in the specification language SZ, which comb...

BACKGROUND Because of the nature of their work, female sex workers are at risk of sexually transmitted diseases. Cross-border areas are places where this situation becomes worse. In Ethiopia, there has been a serious scarcity of studies on the time at which unsafe sexual practice starts and on factors which determine the practice among female sex workers there. Therefore, this study aimed to fi...
