A CONDOM UTERINE BALLOON DEVICE AMONG REFERRAL FACILITIES IN DAR ES SALAAM: AN ASSESSMENT OF PERCEPTIONS, BARRIERS AND FACILITATORS ONE YEAR AFTER IMPLEMENTATION

Abstract Background Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal death in Tanzania.The Every Second Matters for Mothers and Babies- Uterine Balloon Tamponade (ESM-UBT) device was developed to address this problem in women with atonic uterus.The objective of this study was to understand the barriers and facilitators to optimal use of

This paper focused on evaluating the effect of aggregate gradation and polymer modification on indirect tensile strength (ITS) and the static stiffness for hot asphalt mixtures.In particular, data from ITS tests have been processed to obtain stiffness measurements through the application of Hondros theory.The results showed that fine mixtures had a

Individual transferable quotas (ITQs) have become a popular management tool for fisheries.They have been promoted in some quarters and seriously criticized in others because of their social and economic impacts.A more serious problem is that ITQs provide exclusive access to public resources presumably in return for some public benefit, namely conse

The groundwater tracer injection and withdrawal tests are often carried out for the determination of aquifer solute transport parameters.However, the parameter analyses encounter a great difficulty due to the radial flow nature and the variability of the temporal boundary conditions.An adaptive methodology for the determination of groundwater solut
