  • The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Thailand – 2010
    The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Thailand – 2010 Asoke Chapel During 2009 the chapel at Asoke was remodeled. The outside was not modified much at all, but the inside was re-furbished throughout, new lighting in the chapel, new tile in the cultural hall, new doors and door trim. The main entry was extended outward to almost then end of the roof overhang. The most used entry is now the side entry at the front of the building. The International ward was the first to move back into the building last November, followed more recently by the Asoke ward. The stake offices can still be found at the rear of the building. Attendance at the International ward was about 150, with several nationalities represented. It was the last Sunday Robert Griffiths and his family were in Bangkok. They moved to Washington D.C. in preparation for his new assignment next year in Shanghai, China. More Photo 1- Asoke Building Exterior recently Duane Hurst has also returned back to the United States from the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok. At the Asoke ward the attendance was about 90 people. Since Bishop Sarawut has been called as stake president the Asoke ward has a new bishop. Sherry and I had the opportunity to share our testimonies at the sacrament service. Elder McConkie translated for Sherry. Pakkret Chapel Under Construction Wisit Khanakham took us to the site of the new stake center size building being built in Nonthaburi province not far from the current church offices there.

Tel: 026 2320537 Fax. 026 2320537 Email: [email protected] August, 2016 i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction This description comprises six chapters. The first chapter introduces the Council of Kongwa focusing on land, climatic condition, agro-ecological zones as well as its people. Kongwa ward is the seat of the District Headquarter. The town started as a centre for German Colonial activities in 1942 following establishment of groundnuts estates. The choice of its location strategically made to fertile soil suitable for groundnuts cultivation and accessibility to road.

The administrative area comprises a total of 22 wards, 87 villages, 383 suburbs and 2 township authorities. The distribution of wards include Sejeli, Kongwa, Sagara, Chamkoroma, Pandambili, Lenjulu, Chiwe, Kibaigwa, Mtanana, Njoge, Ngomai, Mkoka, Matongoro, Makawa, Chitego, Hogoro, Songambele, Zoissa, Iduo, Mlali, Nghumbi and Ugogoni. The District Economy The main economic activities in the council are farming, livestock keeping and informal sector activities. Overall, the industrial sector has been in a gradual development and scaling up their activities.

  • Knowledge of Obstetric Danger Signs Among Recently-Delivered Women in Chamwino District, Tanzania: a Cross-Sectional Study Deogratius Bintabara1,2*, Rose N
    Bintabara et al. BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth (2017) 17:276 DOI 10.1186/s12884-017-1469-3 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Knowledge of obstetric danger signs among recently-delivered women in Chamwino district, Tanzania: a cross-sectional study Deogratius Bintabara1,2*, Rose N. M. Mpembeni3 and Ahmed Abade Mohamed4 Abstract Background: Low knowledge of danger signs has been shown to delay seeking obstetric care which leads to high maternal mortality and morbidity worldwide. In Tanzania about half of pregnant women are informed about obstetric danger signs during antenatal care, but the proportion of those who have full knowledge of these obstetric danger signs is not known. This study assessed the knowledge of obstetric danger signs and its associated factors among recently-delivered women in Chamwino District, Tanzania. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in January 2014 in Chamwino District, Tanzania. A woman was considered knowledgeable if she spontaneously mentioned at least five danger signs in any of the three phases of childbirth (pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum) with at least one in each phase. Multistage cluster sampling was used to recruit study participants. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were conducted. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to control for confounding and other important covariates. Results: A total of 428 women were interviewed. The median age (IQR) was 26.5 (22–33) years. Only 25.2% of respondents were knowledgeable about obstetric danger signs during pregnancy, childbirth/labour and postpartum. Significant explanatory variables of being knowledgeable about obstetric danger signs were found to be maternal education (AOR = 1.96; 95% CI: 1.01, 3.82), maternal occupation (AOR = 2.23; 95% CI; 1.10, 4.52), spouse occupation (AOR = 2.10; 95% CI: 1.02, 4.32) and counseling on danger signs (AOR = 3.42; 95% CI: 1.36, 8.62) after controlling for the clustering effect, confounding and important covariates.

    Section 3 Floods in Thailand that caused a significant impact on trade environment, etc. of neighboring nations/regions, including Japan 1. Cause of last year’s floods in Thailand and measures to be taken in the future (1) 2011: the year that the world suffered large-scale natural disasters Last year was a year in which the world suffered a number of large-scale natural disasters, including the Great East Japan Earthquake and floods in Thailand (Figure 2-3-1-1). According to Munich Reinsurance Company (Munich RE) (2012), natural disasters in 2011 exerted the costliest toll in history, resulting in $380 billion worth of economic losses (Table 2-3-1-2).41 Although the number of natural catastrophes that occurred globally in 2011 was 820, nearly the same as the last 10 years’ average (790), the year was characterized by a significant loss from geophysical events, such as the Great East Japan Earthquake (total loss of $210 billion: the largest on the list) and the earthquake in New Zealand (total loss of $16 billion: third on the list), with nearly 60% of 2011’s losses attributable to these earthquakes. What distinguishes 2011 from other previous years is that normally, weather-related natural catastrophes cause most of the economic losses, with geophysical events accounting for less than 10% of insured losses over the past 30 years).
