With a sample of 7478 men age 15-54 drawn from the 2015-16 Malawi Demographic and Health Survey (MDHS) this study examines determinants of risky sexual practices among men in Malawi. The study considers risky sexual behavior as having multiple non-marital non-cohabiting sexual partners and not using condoms during sexual intercourse with these partners. This risky behavior can have serious health consequences and carries medium-to-long-term health and socioeconomic implications for the youth of Malawi. The study examines male youth age 15-24 and adults age 25-54 who had sexual intercourse in the past 12 months preceding the 2015-16 MDHS by their marital status. Negative binomial and logistic regression analysis was used to identify determinants associated with their risky sexual behavior. The study found that religion was a key factor associated with having an increased number of non-marital non-cohabiting sexual partners. Also attainment of formal education was a consistent predictor that significantly reduced men’s high-risk sexual behavior. Thus education serves as the most important tool to facilitate behavior change among men in Malawi. Based on the findings this study proposes redesigning and implementing extensive pro-men sexual and reproductive health educational campaigns to tackle key health and demographic topics aimed at changing men’s attitudes and behavior toward engaging in sexual intercourse with multiple non-marital non-cohabiting partners and toward consistent and correct condom use. Such education campaigns must cut across the social fabric of Malawi’s society including religious institutions.","PeriodicalId":39279,"journal":{"name":"Studies on Ethno-Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46872188","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}

This paper presents the voices of early learners in a mountain learning ecology in Nigeria on the impacts of migration on their schooling and health care. The sample of the study consists of twenty-eight school-aged children and three teachers purposely selected in an alpine learning ecology in Nigeria. The study adopted a mixed method approach because it possesses both quantitative and qualitative dimensions. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the quantitative data, while the general trend from responses to key informant interviews were identified and examined. Results showed that migration of parents have an influence on the educational performance and health care of their children in mountain learning ecologies. The study argues for the inclusion of education and health care of school children in global mountain research initiatives.","PeriodicalId":39279,"journal":{"name":"Studies on Ethno-Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09735070.2017.1387387","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41707029","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 symptoms appear 3 – 14 days after mosquito bite and range from mild fever to very high fever. Based on these symptoms, a total of 178 referral cases were analyzed. Patients were asked to fill out a consent form which was followed by blood collection. Parameters that were analyzed amongst these patients include: Platelet count, transaminases, Dengue Real Time-PCR detection, gel-based dengue serotyping. An overall 12.36 percent (22/178) prevalence of dengue infection was detected in the post-monsoon season that is from October 201 6 to March 2017. Younger age groups of males were more affected (18.2%) amongst all groups. Patients who tested positive for dengue had markedly reduced platelet counts as compared to those of negative control cases. Altered serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) levels were also observed amongst patients with infection leading to liver dysfunction. The most common serotype prevalent was DENV-3 (45%), followed by DENV-4 (36%) and then DENV-2 (18%). No prevalence of DENV-1 was found. In the absence of targeted vaccination and medication for dengue fever, it is essential to study the epidemiology of it for controlling the spread of dengue during post-monsoon season.","PeriodicalId":39279,"journal":{"name":"Studies on Ethno-Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09735070.2017.1356046","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43978039","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}
