This study explores integrating foundational ethical principles from Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle to address these challenges. Socratic ethics, emphasizing continuous ethical inquiry and self‐knowledge, provides a framework for ongoing moral reflection. Platonic idea…
Agro-Ecological Transitions in Malawi
This research delves into the agro-ecological transitions occurring in Malawi, emphasizing sustainable agricultural practices that enhance food security and resilience in the face of climate change. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study integrates qualitative interviews with quantitative surveys targeting smallholder farmers across diverse regions in Malawi. Key findings reveal that agro-ecological practices, including intercropping and o…
The Art of Mimesis in Hospitality
While authenticity is a strategic concern in hospitality, prior research often reduces it to staged performance and subjective guest perception. Less explored is how authenticity can be intentionally designed through symbolic, emotional, and cultural representation. Drawing on Aristotelian mimesis, this study explores how hospitality environments re‐present local meaning via spatial, narrative, and sensory cues. Guided by a constructivist‐interpr…
Deconstructing Deception
This qualitative study examines the ethical challenges and authenticity issues in tourism marketing, focusing on the prevalence and impact of misleading practices. Through semi-structured interviews and focus groups with industry experts, marketers, and tourists, alongside content analysis of marketing materials, the research reveals significant emotional, financial, and social repercussions of deceptive marketing. Tourists report feelings of bet…
Causes and risk factors for deaths in young infants in South Asia
INTRODUCTION: Strategies for reducing infant mortality require accurate, local, population-level data. We conducted a population-based observational study in three countries in South Asia to describe risk factors, causes and rates of mortality in young infants. METHODS: Pregnancies, births and pregnancy outcomes were determined through household surveillance, and cause of deaths was ascertained by verbal autopsy. Cox regression was used to identi…
Pregnancy loss and its predictors among ever-pregnant women in Sub-Saharan Africa
Background Pregnancy loss is a significant maternal health issue in Sub-Saharan Africa. Africa has the highest rates of stillbirths globally, with an estimated 2.7 million stillbirths occurring each year on the continent. The pregnancy loss data are underreported and inconsistently recorded in Sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the number of pregnancy loss and its predictors among ever-pregnant women in Sub-Saharan Afric…
Determinants of Adverse Perinatal Outcomes in Ibadan, Nigeria
Adverse perinatal outcomes (APO) are unfavourable incidents of at least one of the following: low birth weight, preterm delivery, stillbirths, neonatal deaths, and perinatal deaths. They contribute significantly to neonatal and infant morbidity and mortality, developmental abnormalities, and long-term impairments. Studies are lacking on the influence of maternal lifestyle on APO in Nigeria. Hence, we investigated the determinants of APO using the…

Barriers and facilitators of compliance with infection prevention and control measures during the Covid-19 pandemic in health facilities in Kampala city, Uganda
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) was crucial to reduce the spread of the virus in health facilities. This study explored the barriers and facilitators of IPC compliance among healthcare workers (HCWs) during the COVID-19 pandemic in Kampala City, Uganda. Key informant interviews were conducted with 14 participants in 12 health facilities located in Nakawa division, Kampala City. Of these facilities, 3 were gove…
Quality of newborn care and associated factors
Kenya one of the African countries has pledged to reduce neonatal death as per the 2030 World Health Organization target. Providing high-quality newborn care is critical in minimizing neonatal mortality. This study aimed to determine the factors that influence the quality of newborn care in Kenya. Secondary data from 11,863 participants of the 2022 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey (KDHS) were analyzed. The participants were chosen using two-st…
Risk factors for community-acquired bacterial infection among young infants in South Asia
OBJECTIVE: Risk factors predisposing infants to community-acquired bacterial infections during the first 2 months of life are poorly understood in South Asia. Identifying risk factors for infection could lead to improved preventive measures and antibiotic stewardship. METHODS: Five sites in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan enrolled mother-child pairs via population-based pregnancy surveillance by community health workers. Medical, sociodemographic …
Sustaining stakeholder engagement for health research during the Covid-19 pandemic
Governments worldwide responded to the continual waves of the COVID-19 pandemic with unprecedented measures ranging from social distancing and cancellation of public events to border restrictions and complete closure of all but essential services [1]. Health research studies were suspended, becoming casualties of COVID-19-related lockdowns and distancing policies [2]. Engaging and involving stakeholders including patients, [...]
Covid-19 rise in Bangladesh correlates with increasing detection of B.1.351 variant
After several decades of debate, it is now widely acknowledged that apoptosis, also known as programmed cell death, is central to homoeostasis and normal development and physiology in all multicellular organisms, including humans. The dysregulation of apoptosis can lead to the destruction of normal tissues in a variety of disorders, including autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases (too much apoptosis) or the growth of tumors (too little apopto…
New waves, new variants, old inequity
box Bangladesh, a country of 166 million people, continues to be severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The first three cases of COVID-19 in Bangladesh were detected on 8 March 2020 among a group of travellers. Since then, the country has experienced two waves—in June 2020 and April 2021. In July 2021, less than 3 months after the second wave, Bangladesh is currently fighting its third and by far the deadliest wave. Like most other countries…
Predictors for detecting chronic respiratory diseases in community surveys
BACKGROUND: Our previous scoping review revealed limitations and inconsistencies in population surveys of chronic respiratory disease. Informed by this review, we piloted a cross-sectional survey of adults in four South/South-East Asian low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) to assess survey feasibility and identify variables that predicted asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS: We administered relevant translations of …
Validation of community health worker identification of maternal puerperal sepsis using a clinical diagnostic algorithm in Bangladesh and Pakistan
BACKGROUND: Puerperal sepsis (PP sepsis) is a leading cause of maternal mortality globally. The majority of maternal sepsis cases and deaths occur at home and remain undiagnosed and under-reported. In this paper, we present findings from a nested case-control study in Bangladesh and Pakistan which sought to assess the validity of community health worker (CHW) identification of PP sepsis using a clinical diagnostic algorithm with physician assessm…
