Background: Postnatal period is a vulnerable time, because most maternal and new born deaths occur during this period, especially immediately after childbirth. Postnatal care in the first hours and days after childbirth could prevent the great majority of these deaths. The objective of study was to assess the utilization of post-natal care and associated factors for low utilization in urban area of Jabalpur district.Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was carried 360 mothers who delivered in last one year in urban area of Jabalpur district. Sampling method was multistage sampling method. A total 36 wards with 10 mothers from each ward was selected. The questionnaire included information related to mode of delivery, post-natal checkups and visits of health care providers.Results: Among 360 mothers, 93.9% mothers received first postnatal check-up within 24 hrs. 1.11% of mothers between 2-3 days and 1.67% of mothers received first postnatal check-up between 4-7 days while 3.33% of mothers didn’t receive any postnatal check-up. Regarding number of post-natal visits, 58.33% mothers received 3 or more postnatal visits, 35% of mother received 2 PNC visits, while 3.3% did not receive a single postnatal visit. The education of mothers, joint type of family, high socioeconomic status, early registration of pregnancy, minimum 4 ANC visits and institutional deliveries were found significantly associated with utilization of postnatal check-up.Conclusions: Utilization of postnatal services is still poor in the urban areas even though the physical accessibility was adequate. In the present study, it was concluded that the role of education, especially of female education, is important contributing factor associated with utilization of postnatal care.

This work assessed the groundwater hydrogeochemistry and the drinking water quality of 10 wells supplying the urban area of Zamora, Michoacán, Mexico. Two sampling campaigns were conducted in May 2018 (dry season) and November 2018 (wet season) to describe the chemistry of the water and its interaction with the rock. Physical and chemical constituents (temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, color, turbidity, solids, total hardness, total alkalinity, chemical and biochemical oxygen demands), major components (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, SO42−, PO43−, HCO3−, CO32−, Cl−, N-NO3−, and N-NH3), as well as trace elements (As, Fe, Mn, Ba, Al, Sb, Co, V, Cu, Cd, Cr, Ni, Zn, Tl, Pb) were analyzed. Results showed groundwater with a slight tendency to alkalinity. The hydrogeochemical facies observed are Ca2+-HCO3− in all sites. Hydrochemical diagrams indicate immature, cold, non-saline, and uncontaminated water with short residence time. Water–rock interaction predominates. The water in the study area is appropriate for drinking use according to Mexican and international regulations with an excellent quality in 7 wells and good in the other 3.

This research aimed to analysis the competitiveness and government policy impact to the prospect of California Papaya horticultural commodity in peri-urban area. This research conducted in Talang Jambe Village of Sukarami Sub-district in Palembang on March 2018. Research location was selected by considering that Talang Jambe Village is central producer for California Papaya in Palembang. Sampling method were simple random sampling. Data analysed by using Policy Analysis Matrix. Research resulted that California Papaya horticultural commodity in peri-urban area had competitive advantage. California Papaya horticultural commodity had also comparative advantage. Government policy impact were profitable for California Papaya producer and consumer as well. The existence of government intervention on the output against the farming more profitable consumers because consumers buy lower price than the actual price. In other words the transfer of surplus occurs from the producers to the consumers and the farmers acceptance of output reduction occurred as the existence of government policy intervention. It indicate that there is a government policy that caused the private price is less than the social price. California Papaya horticultural commodity in peri-urban area only received 63% of the price the price that is supposed to received.

Background of the Study: The investors choose their investment avenues based on the expected return of that. More than that many unrevealed criteria were act at the rear on every individual investment value. This article explore investors saving motive, saving behaviour and their importance of saving which were collectively determined the investors investment value. Methodology: This is an exploratory study to know the impact of Saving behaviour, saving motive and importance on underlying investment value. This article purposively identified the salaried class people as a sample respondent of the study. Therefore, the researcher has adapted a non-probabilistic sampling method of Purposive sample. The sample size were 370 salaried class employees residing at urban area of Tiruchirapplli District. Research Instrument:. The questionnaire has comprised two sections. The first section includes personal and demographic factors and Core area of study was included in the second section of the questionnaire. Results and discussion: There is no direct causal effect of importance of saving on investment expected value and investors saving behaviour. However, there is a direct causal effect of investors saving motive on their expected investment value. Conclusion: The investor’s motive was the prime factor to make a preferred underlying investment based on their future need.

The diversity of the aeromycoflora in this study, based on the recovery of fungal propagules by the volumetric sampling method was conducted for 30 days using the Lanzoni sampler. The study showed that the most prevalent (major components) fungal spores in the air of Timisoara were Cladosporium spp., Drechslera/Helminthosporium spp., Alternaria spp. and Epicoccum spp. The abundant genera were Cladosporium, Fusarium/Leptosphaeria, Drechslera/Helminthosporium, Alternaria and Torula. Cladosporium was the most abundant fungal spore type (41%) collected throughout the period of study reaching.

The pollution of tap water and rain water with formaldehyde in Toyama Pref., Japan was investigated by means of a simple, rapid and cost-effective visual colorimetry developed by us. The levels of formaldehyde in three tap waters from different sources of dams on mountainside and a well-water pumped in urban area in Toyama Pref. were lower than 0.01 mg L−1 that was the detection limit of the colorimetry. On the other hand, rain waters were seriously polluted with formaldehyde. Rain waters were sampled from three different sites (urban area, top of hill and industrial area) in Toyama Pref. from autumn to winter in 2006. The levels of formaldehyde in the rain waters ranged from 0.07 to 0.30 mg L−1. The analytical results by the visual colorimetry were in good agreement with those obtained by GC-MS method. It was confirmed that the colorimetry is excellent for practical use for the determination of formaldehyde. It must be concerned about the pollution of rainwater with formaldehyde, when rain water is applied for tap water and miscellaneous purpose.

This research is aim at knowing farmer’s household knowledge to climate change in sub urban and rural area, knowing the farmer’s household is affected by exposure of climate change in sub urban and rural area, knowing adaptive strategy of farmer’s household to climate change in sub urban and rural area, and calculating the Livelihood Vulnerability Index (LVI) of farmer’s household to climate change in sub urban and rural area. This research was done in Gunungkidul Regency by purposive included sub urban and rural area.  There was 60 respondents of farmer’s household token by random sampling method and chose every 30 respondents in each area. This research used descriptive table analysis method and index calculation. The results of this research show that farmer’s household in sub urban and rural area of Gunungkidul Regency have low knowledge to climate change. The farmer’s household in sub urban and rural area of Gunungkidul Regency feels the rain more uncertainly and more difficult to determine the beginning of planting season. The farmer’s household in sub urban area is feels more climate change impact. The farmer’s household in sub urban area has more farming adaptive strategy to climate change. The farmer’s household in sub urban area is more expose and more sensitive to climate change but has more adaptive capacity to climate change. The farmer’s household in sub urban area is more vulnerable in climate change than rural area in both of LVI and LVI-IPCC calculation method.
