Research results presented particularly for Permeability Coefficient (χ) obtained 1.00E-08; whereas the minimum value has only shown 2.00E-09 at 0.5 kg/cm2 and 8.0 kg/cm2 at 24.3m depths. On the other hand, the pore coefficient (ε) variations decreased gradually as the increasing depths; whereas the minimum value obtained 0.685 at 27.3m depth. Moreover, standards viscosity (B) and Compaction density (ζ) increased gradually as the depths increased gradually. From the analysis, simulation of the Pore water pressure with depths was calculated particularly with remarkable results, which as done by the Plaxis 3D software, so results presented in 360 kN/m2 at 4.0m and minimum value of 20 kN/m2 at 38.0m depth. In conclusion, research results can be applied and credited affections to the construction deformation. Moreover, research results can be used as useful references for engineers of Civil, Geology, researchers, and scientists in the future.","PeriodicalId":183831,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Sexual & Reproductive Health Research","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134120479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study employed a non-equivalent quasi‐experimental 2 x 2 factorial research design. Some 158 primary two pupils from 4 schools were used for the study. The English Achievement Test (EAT) was used to collect data. Three hypotheses were tested. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The results showed that there was a significant main effect for the mode of illustration on pupils’ achievement in phonics F(1,153) = 21.315, p=.000; there was no significant main effect of gender F(1,153) = 1.082, p =.300, and there was no significant interaction effect of mode of illustration and gender F(1,153) = .701, p =.404. The study recommended that since the children-generated illustrations were more effective in teaching phonics and enhancing pupils achievement in phonics, the Ministries of Education should ensure that textbook authors incorporate children-generated illustrations in the instructional materials for pupils in primary schools. Mode of illustration had no differential effects on male and female pupils achievement in phonics. As such the present system of teaching both males and females in the same class should be encouraged. Authors and publishers of children’s books should engage pupils’ in illustrating their books.","PeriodicalId":183831,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Sexual & Reproductive Health Research","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114830175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Youth is one of life’s most fascinating and complex life stages and accompanied by special sexual and reproductive health needs.Objective: - This study was aimed to determine; utilization status of sexual and reproductive health services and associated factors among high school students in Assosa Zone Western Ethiopia. Methods: - School-based quantitative cross sectional study was carried out among all students from systematically selected in high school of Assosa Zone. Total of 400 samples were proportionally allocated for the stratum and eligible students in were interviewed. Pretested structured questionnaires were employed to obtain quantitative data. The collected data was interred into Epidata version 3.1 and analysed using SPSS version 25 software.Results: - Over all utilization of sexual and reproductive health services by youth students was 32% in the past six months. Counseling services was the major (33.6%) service utilized and Private clinic was the major 73% place of sexual and reproductive health service utilized. Having pocket money [95 %CI (AOR=2.81(2.35, 5.09)], being sexually active [95 %CI (AOR=1.82(1.25, 3.26)], parental discussion [95 %CI (AOR=2.78(1.59, 4.67)], peer education was also significantly associated with utilization of sexual and reproductive health services. Conclusions: - Over all utilization of sexual and reproductive health service among youth students in the past six months was 32%. To improve youth’s sexual and reproductive health service utilization; increasing accessibility, awareness creation at all levels as well as making the service confidential should be interventional areas.","PeriodicalId":183831,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Sexual & Reproductive Health Research","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127912199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The binary logistic multivariable analysis result was obtained by STATA-14 software.

The higher proportion of experiencing early age sexual initiation among rural women was found in Amhara (18.63%) region.

However, stigma reduction among HIV positive young women may be a catalyst to new HIV infections. This study aimed at exploring the coping strategies used and influence of HIV-related stigma on new infections among HIV positive young women in a rural setting. MethodsA cross-sectional exploratory research design was used. HIV positive young women in the catchment area of Aboke Health Center IV were part of the study. In-depth interviews were used to collect data and analysis was done using thematic approach. ResultsThe results from the data showed that acceptance of counseling and social support are some of the ways HIV-positive young women coped up with stigma. The results also showed that While HIV-related reduction has influenced positively for some HIV positive young mothers, to others as HIV-related stigma reduces, young women living with HIV are likely to get involved in risky sexual activities like having unprotected sex thus increasing HIV transmission. ConclusionsHIV-related reduction has influenced positively for some HIV positive young mothers. However, to others as HIV-related stigma reduces, young women living with HIV are likely to get involved in risky sexual activities like having unprotected sex thus increasing HIV transmission. Based on the results, there is need to understand the negative effects HIV-related stigma reduction as this may have implications for further transmission and control of HIV pandemic. Also, further research is needed to understand whether lessening HIV-related stigma encourages risky sexual behaviors among young women.","PeriodicalId":183831,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Sexual & Reproductive Health Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130657686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
