Abstract: In Indonesia, population growth in current decade is higher than that in previous decade. Low prevalence of contraceptive use as well as high prevalence of unmet need for Family Planning (FP) seems to be the main factors of high population growth.A case control study of 288 respondents who lived in district of Jember, Indonesia was performed. They were divided into unmet group and met need group equally.The results showed that social factor did not influencedirectlyon unmet need for FP, but it influence on unmet need for FP through women's autonomy and risk perception of contraceptive use. While women's autonomy and risk perception of contraceptive use as well as the contraceptive availability services effect directlyon unmet need for FP.

Abstract: Children with Down's syndrome have a higher prevalence of obesity than children without Down's syndrome. Obesity has a negative impact upon mortality and morbidity. Studies report that obesity is more prevalent in individuals with Down syndrome than individuals with intellectual disabilities not associated with Down syndrome. Aim was to evaluate the effect of healthy diet intervention program on anthropometric measurements and lipid profile of children aged 4-16 years with down's syndrome their IQ ranged from 50 – 70. The IQ level was taken from children' school file.

Abstract: Background: Clinical experience is the most important component of nursing education which must be acquired in appropriate environment. The quality of clinical learning environment (CLE) is a valid indicator to show the quality of nursing curriculum. Therefore, assessment of CLE is a duty of nursing education administrators who are facing problems in this assessment. Complex nature of CLE and lack of appropriate tools to measure the quality of this environment are two most common of these problems. Aim: The aim of the present study is to measure the degree of effectiveness of clinical learning environment for nursing faculty students at Main Mansoura university Hospital.

Abstract: Unplanned pregnancy and unsafe abortion are the major global women health problems. Of the 210 million pregnancies that occur each year about 46 million end in induced abortion. Timely use of emergency contraception (EC) after all contraceptive failures could prevent up to 50% of all unintended pregnancies. The current study aimed to find out knowledge and attitude regarding emergency contraception among higher secondary students. The design of this study was descriptive cross-sectional, probability stratified random sampling technique was used to select 166 sample and self administered questionnaire was administered. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS program version 17.

Abstract: A sorghum based designer rawawas produced containing 36 percent resistant starch (RS) with cyclic cooling and heating processing combined with de-branching enzymes. The effect of consumption of the designer rawaon fasting glucose, PP glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-C and LDL-C was studied using rice rawaas control food. A total of 14 healthy subjects (male -7, female -7) with age group ranging from 18-22 yrs were selected for the study. Single blinded cross over design was used, where the subjects were unaware about the food. Four types of most commonly used recipes were prepared using 50 g (18g of resistant starch) of either designer rawaor control rawa(5 g of Resistant starch) using standards procedures and supplemented for 21 days and after one week wash out period control food was supplemented for 21 days, during the study period the subjects were allowed to consume their regular foods. The studies on lipid profile revealed that there was a significant effect of RS food supplementation on TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C (P =0.001, 0.004, 0.00, 0.002). However the difference was not uniform in both the sexes. The study demonstrated that consumption of designer rawaalong with regular diet is beneficial in terms of lipid profile.

Abstract: This is a small base-line study where the researcher has made a unique attempt to disseminate the varying size of chapatti into the exchange list. Chapatti as it is a staple food of Pakistan and was assessed for its size and corresponding weight so that it could be incorporated as part of the carbohydrate exchange list. Though chapatti is served with the main course of every Pakistani cuisine yet its size and weight has not been standardized and difference in size and weight will lead to varying nutrient content and consequently number of exchanges. Chapattis of three different sizes were prepared in the Food Laboratory of Food Science & Human Nutrition Department,
