Factors affecting the failure of exclusive breastfeeding practice: a scoping review

Background: In some countries, exclusive breastfeeding is practiced in a limited number of cases and for a short period of time; on an international scale in 2012, only 39% of six-month-old babies were exclusively breastfed. This breastfeeding rate falls short of the World Health Organization's recommended threshold (WHO). According to WHO, to reach the global level by 2025, which is 50% of mothers must exclusively breastfeed for 6 months after giving birth, a strategy must be developed to encourage and facilitate the initiation and continuation of breastfeeding. So, it is hoped that with the target set by WHO, mothers can give breast milk exclusively to their babies for 6 months optimally. Exclusive breastfeeding (ASI) is the ideal nutrition for babies in the first 6 months of life, with continued breastfeeding being recommended for up to 2 years of age. The health benefits of self-feeding are dose dependent, and infants with longer periods of exclusive breastfeeding have better health outcomes. The benefits of breastfeeding are dose dependent, and children have better health outcomes when they are breastfeeding exclusively for longer periods of time, but exclusive breastfeeding has not yet reached its aim due to a variety of factors that contribute to failure.Objectives: To identify factors affecting the failure of exclusive breastfeeding practice.Method: The method employed was scoping review, which starts with identifying scoping review questions using the PEO’S framework; selecting relevant articles based on inclusion and exclusion criteria; and finally, evaluating the results. utilizing databases such as Pubmed, Willey Online Library, ProQuest, and Google Scholar to conduct literature searches; Select articles with a PRISMA Flowchart that describes the search process; execute data charting and critical appraisal; compile and report results.Result: 10 relevant articles have grade A and grade B out of the 103 items that were selected using confidence. Quantitative and qualitative research were used to create these articles. Several factors that influence the inability of exclusive breastfeeding include education knowledge, age parity, nipple pain, workplace, work facilities, workload, support culture.Conclusion: Internal and external factors influence the success of exclusive breastfeeding, the internal aspects including education and knowledge, age and parity, and nipple pain. Workplace, work facilities, workload, support, and culture all are external factors.

Domestic water improvement behaviour: the probability determinants and policy implications

Although water is important for human livelihoods, access and use of improved domestic water for households in most developing countries is still a major problem. Households adopt several domestic water improvement mechanisms to improve the quality of their water before consumption. However, the drivers of the probability to engage in this behaviour have not been adequately explored in developing countries. Therefore, this study investigates the factors that determine the probability of choosing to improve domestic water quality before consumption, with data from a household survey implemented in Ghana. Using the Logit econometric model with its associated margins, this study shows evidence that environmental knowledge, age, gender and wealth are key drivers of the probability of engaging in a water improvement behaviour. Based on the identified drivers, practical lessons are discussed to inform policy decisions on quality water supply.

Estudo – prática da liderança na era do conhecimento: a teoria da complexidade é a mais adequada? / Essay – the practice of leadership in the knowledge age: the complexity theory is the most suitable?

Na era do conhecimento, que é caracterizada por um novo cenário impulsionado pelo avanço tecnológico, globalização, desregulamentação, democratização e competitividade acirrada, as organizações para sobreviverem dependem muito mais do seu ativo intelectual do que seu ativo físico. Diante desta nova era a liderança tem um papel importantíssimo no direcionamento das organizações, assim como dos seus agentes, estimulando a inovação contínua e a captura de conhecimento. Apesar do avanço no estudo da liderança, os críticos afirmam que as pesquisas nos esclarecem pouco sobre o assunto e a duração de suas utilidades são curtas, o que leva muitos a questionar se a abordagem que vem sendo utilizada nos estudos sobre liderança está correta e se é adequada para este novo cenário. Partindo da hipótese de que a teoria da complexidade é a perspectiva mais adequada para o estudo e a prática da liderança na era do conhecimento, neste ensaio teórico foi realizada uma revisão na literatura e análise teórica, com foco na relação entre a abordagem da teoria da complexidade e o estudo da liderança, com objetivo de identificar fatores que respondam por que a abordagem mais adequada para o estudo e prática da liderança na era do conhecimento é a teoria da complexidade.
