▼ Against a background of a high HIV prevalence among pregnant women and an absence of interventions to curb HIV transmission to children associated with high HIV infant and childhood mortality and morbidity in Africa, this study was undertaken to determine the social factors that influence infant feeding practices among HIV positive women in Kasama, Northern Province.This was a cross-sectional study and was descriptive in nature. The study was conducted in Northern Province, Kasama District at 2 clinics- the Kasama Urban clinic and the Location clinic. The study recruited HIV positive mothers under the MCH programs in Kasama from the 2 clinics. 196 pregnant mothers were systematically random sampled for the study from the two clinics.Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS. Data were presented in the form of tables and graphs with explanatory narratives in accordance with the study objectives and hypothesis. The Chi-square statistics was used to test possible relationships between the independent and dependent variables at the 5% level of significance.Results of the study showed that most mothers were exclusively breastfeeding as they should. Only 11% of the HIV positive mothers used mixed feeding on their infants. Current infant feeding practices was found not to be associated (p>0.05) with most of the demographic variables: maternal age, marital status of mother, level of education and employment status of mother, and religion. Neither were any of the economic factors associated with infant feeding practices. However, mothers who reported that they had received information about breast feeding practices in relation to MTC where more likely to breast feed their children (p< 0.05). Nurses also were found to influence mother’s choice of infant feeding practices (p< 0.05).The study concludes that infant feeding practices is affected by certain demographic and maternal factors. The relationship between maternal age and current feeding practices is not statistically significant, though the percentage of mothers who chose to exclusively breastfeed increased with age.

▼ Abstract Background Malnutrition remains one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality among children throughout the world. It is responsible about 60% cause of death in under age of 5 years Objective To assess knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of mothers feeding their under five children in a rural community Kellecha Tikka Kebele, of Sebeta Awas district, Surrounding Finfine special Zone, Oromia Region, 2014 G.C Methods and Materials: - A cross-sectional study design was conducted on 597 mothers to determine the level of knowledge, attitude and practice and their relation with socio-economic demographic characteristic in Kellecha Tikka Kebele. The data was manipulated and analyzed by using Epi.info version 3.4.3 and SPSS version 21.0. Result: - from the total of 597 mothers, 339 (56.8%) had no sufficient knowledge about child feeding and 258 (43.2%) had sufficient knowledge about child feeding. From the total of 597, 585 (98%) gave food or liquid before six months age and only 12 (2%) had not been given food or liquid. The mother had good practice 271 (45.5%) and poor practice 327 (54.6%) as well as good attitude 279 (46.6%) and poor attitude were 318 (53.3%). In multivariate analysis the mother who can read and write was less likely good practice than that learnt secondary school and above. The protestant followers had best practice towards child feeding than other religion followers Conclusion:- Generally the study showed that from the total of 597, 585 (98%) gave food or liquid before six months age and only 12 (2%) had not been given food or liquid. From 585 that gave liquid or fluid before six months of age 55 (9%) gave the water, 274 (47%) gave the butter, 235 (40%) gave the milk and 26 (4%) other food or liquid like tenadam for their children before ix six months of age. This low level of knowledge (56.8%) about child feeding and not know the time of EBF resulted that the study took place in the rural area and affected by another sociodemographic characteristics. From this result most of the mother reported as they knew EBF but when asked did they give food or fluid before six months of age 585 (98%) did that. The mother who can read and write was less likely good practice than that learnt secondary school and above. The protestant followers had best practice towards child feeding than other religion followers. Advisors/Committee Members: ATO HUSSIEN MEKONNIN (BSc, MPH, PhD fellow) (advisor).

▼ Exclusive Breast Feeding practice which is the best feeding practice for infants aged from birth to six (6) months, has been facing a lot of challenges. Although information on exclusive breast feeding was being given to mothers during Antenatal, Postnatal and children’s clinic, the practice still remained a challenge due to failure by mothers to sustain the practice. The purpose of this study was to establish levels of exclusive breast feeding practice among breast feeding mothers who had infants aged from birth to six months in Luangwa, a rural district of Lusaka Province. A descriptive cross section study design was used and a sample of 171 breast feeding mothers with infants aged from birth to six months, were randomly selected from five health facilities. The five facilities were randomly selected. The respondents were interviewed using a semi-structured interview schedule and to complement data from questionnaires, five focus group discussions were conducted one at each study site. Each group had seven participants. A focus group guide was used to facilitate the discussion. Quantitative data was analysed using SPSS computer software package version 16. The Fishers Exact test was used to test the association between the dependent and independent variables. Qualitative data from the focus group discussions were analysed using content analysis with the help of qualitative research computer software Nvivo. The study revealed that the prevalence of exclusive breast feeding practice was at 104 (61%). Majority of the respondents 116 (67.8%) started breast feeding within an hour of the infant’s birth. However, during the first week of the infant’s life, other foods such as plain water or glucose, formula milk and cereals or porridge were given to the infants. Most of the respondents 71 (41.5%) indicated that insufficient milk was the reason for having resorted to mixed feeding. During focus group discussions, it was revealed that infants cried due to hunger and that forced mothers to introduce other foods. The group also revealed that early introduction of other foods was a common practice. At the age of 5-6 months only 10 (16%) of the infants were exclusively breast fed. However, the study showed that there was an association between exclusive breast feeding and the age of an infant (p value = 0.000). The level of education was low among the respondents as most respondents 103 (60%) had only attained primary school education. During the focus group discussions some male participants stated that some mothers did not comprehend the infant feeding information given at the health facilities hence did not adhere to the practice. However, education level was not significantly (p value = 0.065) associated with exclusive breast feeding. In relation to knowledge on the benefits of breast feeding, majority 107 (62.6%) of the respondents were aware that breast milk had all the nutrients that an infant required in the first six months of its life. Out of the 107, 43 (40%) gave their infants other foods besides breast milk. During…

▼ The structure, function, and tissue specific expression profiles of neuropeptides involved in regulating eating behaviour are well researched in mammals, the corresponding literature on fish homologs however is scarce. The work presented here endeavoured to characterise the full coding sequences of peptide homologs in zebrafish as well as the expression profiles of said peptides under different energy states to elucidate their function in fish. Zebrafish were chosen as a model to represent fish species as they are amenable to molecular study. Conducting a literature and TBLASTn search, genes were identified in zebrafish that are known to be involved in affecting appetite and satiety in other vertebrates. Comparison of the translated sequences of these genes against fish and other vertebrates provided confidence in the identity of AGRP, GHRL, POMCb, CART1, CART3, and CART4 and all genes showed homology against mammalian transcripts through structural and syntenic comparison. RACE synthesis of the full coding sequence of these genes was attempted from isolated brain mRNA but only resulted in the production of a partial 3’ sequence for CART1 and CART4 which showed high identity against the predicted nucleotide but not the translated sequence. To observe the functional properties of a suite of genes, a qPCR analysis of the expression profiles of AGRP, GHRL, POMCa, POMCb, CART1, CART2, CART3, CART4, OXT, NPY, and AVPwas undertaken in 24 hour fasted zebrafish. The results were comparable to both other fish and mammals as AGRP was orexigenically upregulated in fasted zebrafish, while POMCb and OXT were anorexigenically downregulated. This is the first time that an expression study has been conducted across all of these genes together in a single species and, while the results are preliminary, they outline that the simultaneous analysis of the many genes thought to be involved in eating behaviour is a viable approach to discovering the functional roles of the range of genes, their interaction with each other, and how that relates to eating behaviour and provides some confidence in use of zebrafish as a model to highlight this.

▼ Concerns about feeding are among the most common behavioral problems reported to health care professionals, with approximately 24-45% of parents reporting this issue. Disruptions in feeding are associated with a number of negative behavioral and developmental outcomes in children, and may to lead to disruptive mealtime behavior, picky eating, less-than-optimal growth, and obesity. The Satter Feeding Dynamics Model (fdSatter) has been proposed to guide parents and professionals in optimizing the feeding relationship between parent and child. fdSatter is an authoritative model that proposes that parents guide the feeding process based on cues coming from the child, and as a result, the child will be competent with eating attitudes, food regulation and growth, food acceptance, and mealtime behavior. Maintaining a division of responsibility in feeding and trusting a child to grow and eat as intended is suggested to be an effective means of reducing child feeding problems. To evaluate and develop effective interventions, a tool that can capture the division of responsibility and can identify positive and negative feeding behaviors is needed. Among existing tools assessing child feeding, few are validated, and few assess the dynamics between the parent and child in the feeding relationship. To address this need, a prototype instrument was offered by Satter that addressed parent’s leadership and autonomy roles incumbent in adhering to the division of feeding responsibility as defined by fdSatter; this measure is the Satter Feeding Dynamics Inventory (fdSI). This project summarizes the iterative process of developing and testing the fdSI. Included in this summary are details and findings from 4 early phases and a fifth phase resulting in a version ready for construct validation and intensive psychometric analyses. The fifth phase was accomplished with cognitive interviews of 9 low-income and 5 middle-income parents of preschool aged children to assess comprehension of survey items using response mapping and thematic analysis. Findings revealed low respondent burden of the fdSI and led to revisions of 2 items and the elimination of one item. Eating competence (EC) was examined as a moderator of adherence to fdSatter by comparing fdSI scores to those on the Satter Eating Competence Inventory for Low-Income. Despite the small sample size of the fifth phase of testing, trends were apparent that supported EC as a moderating influence. Eating competent parents were more likely to perceive their child’s eating positively, compared to non-eating competent parents. Outcomes from the iterative fdSI testing plan supported cognitive testing as an essential step in readying an instrument for the validation and psychometric studies necessary to support its use in intervention assessment. Multi-phase and constant comparative testing have resulted in an instrument ready for validation as a measure of adherence to the division of feeding responsibilities as defined by fdSatter. Subsequent availability of this valid measure is essential for…

▼ A local community hospital in Montana expressed a desire to establish a written clinical guideline for transitioning preterm infants from enteral gavage feedings to oral feedings. This desire was prompted by a change in the method of quantifying breast milk intake of preterm infants when transitioning them from enteral gavage feedings to at-breast feedings in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The hospital changed from the practice of test-weighing as a clinical indicator to quantify breast milk intake to the "Salt Lake City Feed Plan". Procedures: Retrospective data from four consecutive years were collected from quality assessment chart audit data provided to the author in aggregate form. Twenty-nine records met the selection criteria. A descriptive presentation of the aggregate data follows. Results: The average number of total deliveries per year was 1,151. The average percentage of preterm deliveries that occurred between 32 - 37 completed weeks of gestation was 16.3 percent. Of the twenty-nine records that met the selection criteria, 17 were male and 12 were female. The birth weight ranged from 1.75 kilograms (kg) to 2.31 kg. Weight at discharge ranged from 2.66 kg. to 2.99 kg., indicating a weight gain of 0.68 kg. to 0.91 kg. at discharge. Number of days with an indwelling nasogastric enteral feeding tube ranged from 1 to 23 days. Length of hospital stay ranged from 7 to 29 days. The length of stay for exclusively bottle fed preterm infants ranged from 13 to 27 days, whereas the breastfeeding preterm infants who utilized test -weighing or the "Salt Lake City Feed Plan" ranged from 7 to 29 days. Breast fed preterm infants in whom test-weighing or the "Salt Lake City Feed Plan" was utilized had 4 to 4.315 fewer days of hospitalization compared to preterm infants who were exclusively bottle-fed. Conclusion: The literature review and the aggregate data collected by the rural community hospital provide baseline information to create, implement and support an evidence-based clinical guideline to transition preterm infants from enteral gavage feedings to oral feeding.

▼ The objective of this study was to investigate the knowledge, attitude and practice of breast and complementary infant feedings among mothers of Shinasha culture in Bullen Woreda. The study was undertaken in four kebeles (Metti, Bullen 02, Matta and Addias Alem) and 80 participants were selected by using convenient sampling as they are mothers who currently are feeding (breast and complementary foods) to their infants and Questionnaire, interview and focus group discussion were used to collect data. This study employed the combination of both qualitative and quantitative methods. In this mixed approach the researcher used quantitative methods of data collection as the dominant and qualitative methods are supplementary. The data were analyzed by using frequency, mean, percentage, Pearson’s correlation as well as one way ANOVA (one way analysis of variance). The result of analysis reveals that mothers were not given any information about infant feeding before birth of the infant and after birth of the infant mothers got information about breast and complementary infant feeding from elder mothers. The result also indicated that there is no significant difference among mothers on their knowledge, attitude and practice of breast and complementary infant feeding on the three categories of age. Mothers lacked sufficient knowledge about the importance of breast feeding for breastfeeding mothers and also biased in duration of breastfeeding between both sexes of their infants. Mothers showed positive attitude about breast feeding in such areas as: Self-initiated interest of breast feeding, enhancement of mother child interaction through breast feeding, enjoyable nature of breast feeding. Regarding the practices of breastfeeding mothers reported that they give fresh butter as pre-lactal food before breast milk during the time of birth. Concerning the knowledge of complementary infant feeding mothers reported that male infants should start complementary foods earlier than female infants. Mothers had positive attitudes about complementary infant feeding, so they reported that early introduction of complementary foods makes their infants healthy and strong. As far as mothers practices of complementary feeding is concerned, mothers practiced providing their infants about two- three times a day. It is concluded that there is no statistically significant difference among mothers on their knowledge level, attitude and practices on breast and complementary infant feeding on their age groups. Finally it was recommended that all concerned bodies of the community, health extension workers etc. should take their parts in educating and creating awareness for mothers about breast and complementary infant feeding.

▼ Background: Exclusive breast feeding for the first six months of life and appropriate introduction of complementary feeds is a key determinant of the nutrition status of children. Objective: To assess the feeding practices among children 6- 24 months of age and its relationship with their nutritional status at Mbagathi District hospital. Methodology: We conducted a case control study at the MDH pediatric emergency outpatient clinic between February and April 2013. Nutritional assessment was done using anthropometry weight for-height and height-for age; and examined the children for visible severe wasting as well as the presence of edema. Malnourished children who fulfilled the selection criteria and those who their parent accepted to participate in the study were consecutively enrolled into the study. And each case was matched with well-nourished controls of similar age. Results: A total of 220 children with their mothers were enrolled in the study in which 110 were cases and 110 were control. A significantly larger proportion of malnourished children (9.4%) than well nourished children (1.8%) were given pre-lacteal feeds (p=0.036; χ2-test. There was a trend toward statistical significance in time breastfeeding was initiated between cases and controls (p=0.07; χ2-test).Slightly higher proportional (80%) of control than cases (75%) were initiated on breastfeeding in the first one hour. A significantly higher proportion (90%) of mothers of children with normal nutritional status than (78%) mothers of malnourished children exclusively breastfed their children for longer periods (p=0.001; χ2-test).Malnourished children were introduced to complimentary feeds at a significantly lower mean age (3.6±0.8 months) compared with children with normal nutrition status (3.9±.4 months) (p=0.003; t-test). Conclusions/recommendations: An inappropriate feeding practice of infant and young children was associated with worse nutritional status. To reduce childhood malnutrition due emphasis should be given in improving the practice of parents on appropriate infant and young child feeding.

▼ Breast milk is superior and it is the biological norm for nourishing infants. Both early and more recent studies confirm that, exclusive breast fed infants are less likely to suffer from diarrhoea, malnutrition and acute respiratory infection. Early weaning is highly associated with morbidity and mortality due to diarrhoea, ARI and early malnutrition.The purpose of this study was to determine factors contributing to mothers introducing feeds to babies less than six months, in Lusaka.It was a cross-sectional descriptive study conducted in two government clinics and one private clinic, in Lusaka City, and one rural health centre, in Lusaka rural.The Target population were mother-baby pairs. The babies were between the ages of one month and six months.A total sample size of 238 mother-baby pairs, was randomly selected using a standard formula. An interview schedule and a questionnaire, were used to collect data from mothers and nurses, respectively.The questions aimed at eliciting information, on mothers' knowledge, attitude and practices of exclusive breast feeding, baby data on perinatal events, reasons for introducing feeds, intended duration of exclusive breast feeding, and reasons for termination of exclusive breast feeding.Data was analysed using EPI-INFO statistical package. The findings in the study suggest that, premature introduction of feeds to babies in Lusaka, is principally determined by personal characteristics of the mother and is conditioned by her knowledge of, affective responses to breast feeding. Socio-demographic characteristics such as mother's age, educational attainment, occupation, place of residence and household food income levels, were highly significant as to whether one gave feeds or did not give feeds.Knowledge levels about exclusive breast feeding, are still low and as a result, the exclusive breast feeding rates are low because, only a few mothers practice it.There seems to be a positive attitude towards exclusive breast feeding in these mothers, thereby creating a knowledge, attitude and practice gap.Concern about inadequate milk supply, was the major reason given for introducing feeds and terminating exclusive breast feeding. Majority in this study were poor, and maternal undernutrition could be highly associated with inadequate milk supply.Recommendations have been made in accordance with the findings.

▼ The experiments discussed in this dissertation manuscript investigated the effect of constant light or dark exposure on feeding behavior, spontaneous locomotor activity, and body composition in mice. C57BL/6 male mice lived in operant chambers with food pellets available via lever press and ad libitum water. Animals were maintained in 12:12-h light: dark (LD), 1-23-h light: dark (DD), or 12:12-h light: light (LL) and were given access to food at four 40-min discrete feeding opportunities (FOs) per day, starting at ~1200, 1800, 000, and 0600-h, during which time a 45-mg food pellet of either regular chow (experiments 1-2) or a palatable sweet diet (experiments 3-4) was delivered upon completion of 10 responses. Our data revealed that altering the photoperiod does not impact total daily food intake. However, this effect seems to be dependent on the nutritional profile of the diet provided. When fed a regular chow, mice maintained in LD, DD, and LL ate comparable amounts of food daily. In contrast, when a palatable diet was provided, mice in DD ate significantly more than those in LD. In addition, mice in LL ate significantly less than those in LD. Mice maintained in LD and DD exhibited sequencing in FO size with FOs 1 and 4 being smaller than FOs 2 and 3. They further showed a similar pattern of daily spontaneous locomotor activity. In contrast, mice in LL had a ~11-h shift delay in food intake compared to those in LD and DD. These data showed that one hour of light per day is sufficient to entrain the internal oscillator (s) and that constant light exposure disrupts circadian rhythmicity. Nonetheless, it provided further evidence to support the notion that restricted feeding schedules can entrain circadian rhythms of food intake and spontaneous locomotor activity.

▼ An exploratory study was undertaken for the purpose of identifying the mother and infant behaviors during the feeding-eating process, to produce a tool for recording such behavior, and to obtain information to serve as a basis for predicting which bottle feeding mothers will need outside assistance to successfully caring for their newborn infants. The sample included six primiparas, one of who was unwed, and multiparas. The mothers and infants were observed twice daily during their hospital stay beginning the first post-partum day and once at home. The total minutes of observation for the entire sample was 1058; the range of total observation lengths for single mother-infant pairs was 56 minutes for the shortest period and 124 minutes for the longest. The sample included two mothers with previous spontaneous abortions. One mother had aborted three times and the other mother had aborted once. The number of previous abortions correlated with more items than any other variable. There were positive correlations with the touching categories of fingering and no contact (P < 0.01) indicating the lack of contact the mother had with her baby. The care category of changing the diaper had a positive correlation (P > 0.01) indicating that the mother spent a relatively large amount of time during the feeding period in this activity. Holding the bottle had a negative correlation significant at the 0.001 level; thus the mother with previous abortions tended to prop the bottle. During ht observations the mother with three previous abortions was the only one who propped the bottle for long periods of time. Mothers with previous abortions perceived their infants as crying much of the time (P < .0.001); and stated they were uncomfortable during the observations periods (P < 0.001). The mother’s response to the baby’s crying and her secondary efforts to comfort the baby were both negatively correlated at the 0.05 level of significance, indicating that the mother used minimal levels of care to comfort the baby. The study was too small to draw any decisive conclusion. However, the mother’s contact with her infant, per perception of the amount of the infant crying, her method of handling the bottle, her initial and secondary responses to the infant’s crying and her comfort during the feeding observations are areas which should provide fruitful areas for investigation in the future.

▼ Objective: To explore factors influencing grandmothers’ feeding practices, barriers to feeding, and needs for nutrition education.Methods: After completion of a brief survey, twenty in-depth interviews were conducted with grandmothers, with partial or full responsibility for feeding their grandchildren, in an urban community clinic. Audio-recorded, in-depth interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using content analysis with NVIVO 10 software. Results: The average age of the grandmothers were 53 ± 6 years and 75% of them were African American. Grandmothers’ own and their grandchildren’s taste preferences, health condition, food availability at home, convenience, and cooking ability were major influencing factors for feeding their grandchildren. Their perception of healthy vs. unhealthy foods contributed to the formulation of rules or restrictions on feeding. Their health conditions were identified as a barrier to feeding their grandchildren along with a limited availability of foods. Grandmothers’ efforts to feed healthy foods were more for disease prevention than growth or development. Half of grandmothers reported either positive (healthier food selection, regular meal consumption, etc.) or negative (reduced portions, skipped meals, etc.) influences on their own diet from feeding grandchildren. Grandmothers rarely had concerns regarding their grandchild’s weight status but were concerned with overconsumption of sweets. Most grandmothers did not receive any education regarding how and what to feed their grandchildren; however, they were interested in acquiring knowledge and skills for adequately feeding their grandchildren.Conclusions: Taste preference, food insecurity, physical well-being and food availability were all factors which influenced the feeding practices of grandmothers for their grandchildren. Though grandmothers reported no prior education or advice for feeding their grandchildren, grandmothers expressed great interest in receiving nutrition education to improve upon their provision of nutritious meals for their grandchildren. Implications: Considering the revealed barriers and lack of received education for feeding, nutrition education targeting grandmothers should include guidance for feeding their grandchildren as well as coping strategies that address food insecurity and their own health conditions.

▼ With attention to parenting, mothering, and fathering in the academy and attention to pediatric nutrition in the sciences, this study meets at their intersection. Using a critical approach to study narrative, this inquiry examines pediatric nutrition instruction birth through 12-months that is targeted to parents. The aim of this study is to examine how pediatric nutrition instruction construct master (dominant) and counter narratives that determine what constitutes good parenting. Critical narrative analysis reveals that the maternal role is foregrounded and positions mothers as responsible for pediatric nutrition decisions based on expert recommendations. The master narrative, moderate naturalism, limits good decision making to breastfeeding in the first 4-6 months. The focus on breastfeeding within moderate naturalism highlights the postfeminist-individualization of the maternal role to self-educate about nutrition, self- diagnose breastfeeding problems, and self-govern the body. The totalizing role of mother is evidenced in the social expectations related to education, health enhancement, risk aversion, and cultivating a healthy eater. The two counter narratives, synthetic acceptance and strict naturalism, are in dialogue with yet resist the master narrative. First, synthetic acceptance resists ?breast is best? constraints on feeding by legitimizing formula feeding as acceptable but inferior. Mothers within synthetic acceptance enact totalizing motherhood through feeding education, control over the scene and feeding process/products, and formula-matching. Synthetic acceptance simultaneously seeks legitimization through maternal storytelling and delegitimizes itself through guilt discourse. Second, strict naturalism resists motivations for feeding choices and the characterization of the apolitical mother in moderate naturalism. Within strict naturalism the maternal role is politicized. Paradoxically, maternal feeding responsibilities reify traditional gender roles and promote domesticity, but they do so in a way that empowers women to enact environmental advocacy. Strict naturalism features mothers who are health literate, environmentally-active, equipped to make homemade organic baby food, and pursue environmental advocacy. By politicizing motherhood, counter narration has the potential to shift from post-feminist-individual frameworks within moderate naturalism to feminist-cooperative frameworks in counter narration. Practice-based recommendations are made to redress the totalizing implications of pediatric nutrition instruction on mothers, limitations on legitimate feeding choices, and neglect of paternal roles.

▼ Breastfeeding is widely considered the healthiest way to feed an infant. Promoting breastfeeding and increasing breastfeeding rates has become a global strategy to improve children’s health. However the latest rate of exclusive breastfeeding at six months in 2014 in China was 30% in rural areas and 16% in urban areas. Support from skilled practitioners can positively influence breastfeeding initiation rates, duration and women’s breastfeeding experience. This research aims to develop and evaluate a new breastfeeding training programme for professionals to improve support for breastfeeding mothers in China. Mixed research methods were used in the research which included qualitative and quantitative studies. Two qualitative studies provided the evidence for the importance of training professionals in two essential skills of positioning and attachment (P & A) and hand expression (HE). This study further applied a 15-minute breastfeeding DVD training intervention to train Chinese professionals in P & A and HE. At the meantime, the research developed two valid breastfeeding assessment tools, including knowledge assessment tool and confidence assessment tool. Two quantitative studies of the pilot study and RCT study evaluated the effectiveness of DVD training intervention on improving professionals’ knowledge and confidence before and after DVD training by the two breastfeeding assessment tools. The findings in both studies indicated that the DVD training intervention significantly improve the professionals’ knowledge and confidence in P & A and HE with a big effect size. The semi-structured interviews conducted after the RCT study showed the feasibility and applicability of DVD training for professionals in China. This first evidence-based new training programme is likely to be widely implemented in China due to its effectiveness, convenience and ease of access. However, the long-term effectiveness of the DVD training at improving professionals’ knowledge, confidence and breastfeeding outcome needs to be further examined in the future.

Antenna is one of the most critical component for wireless communication systems. The antenna must also be adaptive to act as a directional device to optimize or accentuate the transmitted or received energy in some directions while suppressing it in others. A good design of the antenna can be very useful in improving the overall system performance. Microstrip antennas have many attractive features which has considerable attention for wireless communication applications. Researchers are engaged in removing this limitation and many techniques have been proposed for the design of wideband antennas for wireless communication systems. Methods for increasing the bandwidth of microstrip antenna are continuously getting upgraded. Undoubtedly the simplest microstrip antenna configuration is rectangular microstrip parch antenna. Hence this investigation deals with rectangular microstrip antenna. The prototype antenna 2 demonstrates that a broadband rectangular microstrip patch antenna with narrow slots and parasitic element. This antenna is excited by an L-probe fed. The bandwidth is improved by two parallel narrow slots on the main patch and parasitic patch. The design provides a simulated impedance bandwidth of 71.33% with gain of 8.6dbi. It has been observed that additional gap-coupled parasitic element yields considerably wider impedance bandwidth. This antenna configuration can be used in applications where wider impedance bandwidths are needed and variations in the radiation pattern are tolerated. The main patch is excited by proximity coupling. This antenna provides a dual frequency response with the simulated impedance bandwidth of 63.35% and 33.48% with a gain of 6 dBi. The design demonstrates that all the three antennas overcome the inherent narrow bandwidth of the conventional microstrip antenna. The main advantages of these antennas are their improved bandwidth with the acceptable performance of low return loss, good gain and radiation characteristics. newline newline newline

▼ Background: In Ethiopia, 96 000 children under fifteen live with HIV, which is related to the prevalence rate of HIV/AIDS and mother to child transmission (MTCT) of the virus.Without intervention, the risk of MTCT of HIV is 15-30% in non breastfeeding populations; breastfeeding by an infected mother increases the risk by 5-20% to a total of 20-45%. Studies have also shown the variation in MTCT rates by duration of breastfeeding, exclusivity of breastfeeding, and the danger of mixed feeding. Objectives: This study was aimed at describing the levels and identifying determinants of knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of mothers about VCT and feeding of infants born to HIV positive women. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted using quantitative method on 876 mothers (231 pregnant and 645 lactating) residing in Jimma town in December 2004 to January 2005, and in-depth interviews on 12 health workers working in VCT/PMTCT service providing health institutions of the town. Results: Among the mothers (n=876), 38.8% had sufficient knowledge about MTCT (during pregnancy, labor, breastfeeding), 41.8% had sufficient knowledge about PMTCT, 30.5% had sufficient knowledge about infant feeding options recommended to HIV positive women, 62.4% had favorable attitude to wards VCT, 4.7% had favorable attitude towards the feeding options, 84.5% visited health institutions for antenatal care and 35.7% used VCT service during their last pregnancy. The lactating mothers (n=643) practiced mixed feeding 81%, exclusive breastfeeding 13.4% and exclusive replacement feeding 0.4%, and most (90.9%) of the pregnant mothers intended to mixed feed their infants of age 0-6 months. Based on logistic regression analysis, knowledge of the mothers about the infant feeding options was significantly associated with their address, age, husbands being important persons for mothers viii to decide on how to feed their infants, and counseling mothers on infant feeding during ANC. Mothers’ attitude towards the feeding options significantly associated with their address. Infant feeding practices of lactating mothers was also having a statistically significant association with their ANC use, place of delivery, and address. Most of the health workers (in-depth interview participants) provided directive advice about the infant feeding optios, and most didn’t include the options heat treated expressed breast milk and HIV negative wet nurse. The participants mentioned mainly failure to afford formula milk, fear of stigma/discrimination, and partners not involved in HIV test as reasons for non adherence of HIV positive mothers to exclusive replacement feeding; while the mothers’ sickness to exclusive breast feeding. In turn, the mothers shifted to mixed feeding. Conclusion: Mixed feeding increases the risk of non HIV diseases like diarrhea and malnutrition for infants of age 0-6 months, and for most of mothers didn’t know their HIV status potentially increases risk of MTCT of HIV. Therefore, strengthening counseling mothers on safe infant feeding… Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Fikru Tsfaye (advisor).

▼ Abstract Introduction: Empirical studies reveal that school feeding programs have significant positive impact on school participation. Such studies suggest school feeding programs are effective in encouraging school enrollment, enhancing class attendances, and lowering student drop-outs. To the contrary, few other studies reveal that there are no observable impacts of school feeding program on school participation Objective: Compare the difference in school participation; specifically on school enrollment, class attendance and drop-out of students of school feeding program beneficiary and nonbeneficiary children of primary school, in Bishoftu Town of East Shoa Zone, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia. Methods: Community based comparative cross-sectional study was employed to compare the difference in school participation of 428 respondents from school feeding program and 428 respondents from non school feeding program schools. Simple random sampling technique was employed to identify the schools and study participants; household questionnaire, key informant interviews and school record review were used to collect data. Collected quantitative data were analyzed using mean, proportion, independent sample test and bivariate correlation techniques . The study was carried out after getting permission from research and ethics committee of School of Public Health, Addis Ababa University College of Health Science. Results: Except enrollment (p=.001) the study found no significant positive effect of school feeding program on two of school participation indicators (attendance and drop-out), although it has some roles with regard to these objectives. The result also shows that the major factors affecting school enrollment are availability of school, school factor, distance to school, the availability of food incentives and safety concerns. Whereas, those affecting class attendance and student drop-out were illness, domestic work (29.3% for SFP and 21.41% for non SFP households), school hour hunger and distance to school. Besides, it has been determined that even among beneficiary (p=0.001) households, the older the household head is the higher likely that the children get enrolled. However, it is found that neither household head education nor household income have significant effect on student drop-out in beneficiary households. Conclusion: The study recommends that both the nutritional and economic values of school feeding program should be improved in order to significantly enhance school participation.

▼ Background: Strategies to respond to the global HIV epidemic include preventing new infections and providing care and support to infected individuals. Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission of HIV (PMTCT) is one of the strategies given high priority. In Ethiopia, 96 000 children under fifteen live with HIV, which is related to the prevalence rate of HIV/AIDS and mother to child transmission (MTCT) of the virus. Without intervention, the risk of MTCT of HIV is 15-30% in non breastfeeding populations; breastfeeding by an infected mother increases the risk by 5-20% to a total of 20-45%. Studies have also shown the variation in MTCT rates by duration of breastfeeding, exclusivity of breastfeeding, and the danger of mixed feeding. Objective This study was at determining the levels and identifying determinants of KAP of mothers about VCT and feeding of infants born to HIV positive women. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted by using quantitative data collection method with pre tested structured questioner on 300 mothers (79 pregnant and 221 lactating) residing in akaki kality sub city from April to may 2014. Study subjects were selected using simple random sampling. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 16. Descriptive statistics were used to describe characteristics of the study subjects and logistic regression model were used to predict the association of the independent and outcome variable. Results: Among the mothers (n=300), 38.8% had sufficient knowledge about MTCT (during pregnancy, labor, breastfeeding), 4 1.8% had sufficient knowledge about PMTCT, 30.5% had sufficient knowledge about infant feeding options recommended to HIV positive women, 62.4% had favorable attitude towards VCT, 4.7% had favorable attitude towards the feeding options, 84.5% visited health institutions for antenatal care and 35.7% used VCT service during their last pregnancy. Beside these lactating mothers (n=221) practiced mixed feeding 81.5%, exclusive breastfeeding 13.4% and most (91.1%) of the pregnant mothers intended to mixed feed their infants of age 0-6 months. Based on logistic regression analysis, knowledge of the mothers about the infant feeding options was significantly associated with their, age, husbands being important persons for mothers to decide on how to feed their infants, and counseling mothers on infant feeding during ANC. Infant feeding practices of lactating mothers was also having a statistically significant association with their ANC use, and place of delivery.Conclusion/ recommendat ion: Mixed feeding increases the risk of non HIV diseases like diarrhea and malnutrition for infants of age 0-6 months, and for most of mothers didn’t know their HIV status potentially increases risk of MTCT of HIV. Therefore, strengthening counseling mothers on safe infant feeding practices, and introducing an appropriately designed BCC program to the community on safe infant feeding Practices and importance of partners Involvement in HIV testing and counseling are mandatory Key words:… Advisors/Committee Members: TEFARI FITE ( RN,BSc,N MSc N) (advisor).

▼ Prosopis juliflora, a fast spreading and coppicing tree, was introduced in Kenya in 1973 to rehabilitate the degraded lands. The trees quickly replaced the natural grazing grasses, sedges, forbs and browse plants important for livestock feeding in Marigat and have been classified by International Union for Conservation of Nature as an invasive species. To understand Prosopis juliflora effect on plant species and to eventually develop mechanisms of minimizing its spread, necessitated an ecological study on the effects its progressive spread has on the biomass production, density and nutrient composition of grasses, sedges, forbs, shrubs and trees leaves and twigs species. Three sites based on terrain and vegetation cover were chosen for the study, largely described as riverine wooded grassland, plain wooded grasslands and hillslopes wooded grasslands. Areas with 0-30%, 31-64% and 65-100% Prosopis juliflora cover were selected in each site using ocular estimation and line-intercept method. Random 20m x 20m study plots replicated 4 times were demarcated and their GPS coordinates recorded. A 1m x 1m quadrat was tossed 3 times randomly within each plot to enable identification, counting, sample clipping and weighing of different grasses, sedges, forbs, dwarf shrub and tree leaves and twigs for determination of biomass, count and nutrient contents. Samples were collected 2 months into the dry season, between 18th December 2008 and 23rd January 2009 when diversity, growth and nutrient content were expected to be optimal. Chemical analyses of collected samples was done to determine crude protein, and Crude fibre content in the different plant species under the 3 canopy covers of Prosopis juliflora. The study revealed a decline of count for different plant species as canopy cover increased from 21%, 54% and least at 83%. However, annual grasses under canopy 54% increased. Biomass yield of different plant species and their categories of palatability declined as canopy cover increased from 21%, 54% and least at 83%. The density of key palatable plant species changed with canopy 21%, 54% and least at 83%. However, shading did not affect the levels of Crude Protein, Acid Detergent Fibre and Neutral Detergent Fibre. The canopy cover of Prosopis juliflora affected the total biomass production by reducing the palatable and unpalatable species and increasing the biomass production of the medium palatable species significantly (P<0.05). The results pointed out that reduction in grazing pasture and browse plants was the biggest problem followed by Prosopis juliflora shading effects on the vegetation they come in contact with, therefore reducing grazing land. There is need therefore to identify spread control measures for Prosopis juliflora, canopy cover control and grass reseeding while at the same time developing technologies for its utilization xv as animal feed and alternative land use systems. Definitions and operational terms were also defined. Key words: Prosopis juliflora, plant habit, biomass, count composition, protein,…

▼ The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of school feeding programme on pupils’ participation in primary schools in Ganze, Kilifi County Kenya. This was in the light of the fact that in Ganze sub-county, hundreds of pupils might be missing school due to hunger.Four research objectives were used to guide the study; to assess the influence of school feeding program on pupils' enrollment in public primary schools in Ganze sub-county Kilifi County; to establish the influence of school feeding program on pupils’ academic achievement in public primary schools; to establish whether school feeding program influences pupils’ class attendance in public primary schools and finally to establish the extent to which school feeding program influences retention rates in public primary schools. Target population was all the public primary schools with home grown school feeding program in Ganze sub-county, Kilifi County. Out of the 48 public primary schools, 24 were sampled out where 24 headteachers, 48 teachers and 120 standard seven and eight pupils were sampled through random sampling, purposeful random sampling and stratified random sampling respectively. The study used descriptive survey research design. The research instruments used included: questionnaires and interview schedule. Data from questionnaires were analyzed by help of SPSS programme version 21.0 while that of interview was analyzed according to the themes in the study variables. The study findings showed that home grown school feeding progrmme has positive influence on pupils’ participation in primary education in that there was an increase in enrolment in public primary schools in Ganze sub-county from 45940 pupils in 2014 to 47950 pupils in 2015.It is recommended that school management committee should be involved in the schools feeding programme so that they can sensitize parents on the need to get involved in the programme to avoid any failure incase of funding. It is also recommended that as it has been established that school feeding programme had an effect on pupils’ participation in primary education, the programme should be rolled out to other areas that are faced with pupil participation in schools. In addition it is suggested that a study on the influence of parental participation in school food programme on its success should be conducted.

▼ Background: Feeding of premature babies is a challenge and more so by teenage mothers. The challenges experienced by teenage mothers in regard to successful breastfeeding of premature babies are uniquely associated with their age and the surrounding environment (Smith, 2012). Objective: To determine the challenges faced by teenage mothers when feeding premature babies during the first six months of life. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive survey involving 167 teenage mothers whose babies were born prematurely and were within the age group of six weeks to six months was conducted among the teenage mothers attending Maternal Child Health (MCH) clinic at Pumwani Maternity Hospital, Nairobi. Both quantitative and qualitative data was collected using a semistructured questionnaire and a focus group discussion guide respectively. Quantitative data was analyzed using SPSS version 20 while the qualitative data was categorized and analyzed and references made based on the study themes. Descriptive statistics was used to examine quantitative variables. Person’s Correlation Coefficient was used to test the association and significance between the variables. Confidence interval was set at 95%, p value at <0.05. Results: Results were presented in form of frequency tables, charts, graphs and narrative explanation. Majority (68%, n=115) of the mothers used breastfeeding method to feed their babies. Teenage mothers aged 18 to 19 years were likely to exclusively breastfeed compared to those within the age bracket of 15 to 17 years. Majority (82.6%, n = 138) of the mothers fed the babies on demand. Feeding options of the babies were influenced by the health care providers, family members and peers. More than half (52%, n = 87) of the respondents reported insufficient breast milk supply as a challenge they faced when breastfeeding the baby among other challenges. Conclusion: Not all the babies were exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life. The babies were introduced to other feeds before attaining the age of six months. This is because teenage mothers perceive they have insufficient breast milk supply for the babies. The mothers’ decision on feeding options during illness dependents on advice they get from family members among other people around them. Recommendations: Creation of awareness among the teenage mothers and the significant members of their families on importance of breastfeeding exclusively before six months of age is necessary. Initiation of interventions that will improve lactation among teenage mothers is necessary. There is need for technical and positive family support to improve the feeding practices among teenage mothers at home
