Background and Objectives:Sub Saharan Africa region is considered as one of the deprived regions of this world and women from this part of the world are suffering from intimate partner violence. This study was undertaken to assess the impact of intimate partner violence on utilization of antenatal care services among the ever married women.Materials and Methods:This is a descriptive cross-sectional study design. The data used in this research was extracted from the Tanzania Demographic Health Survey 2015-16. A total of 13, 266 women were interviewed.Results:The mean age of the respondents is 28.69 years. About 74% women visited antenatal care services more than 4 times. Logistic regression results indicate that the middle-aged adult women (35-49 years age group) were identified having lower odds (Odds ratio: 0.807, 95% CI: 0.693-0.940, P<0.001) than women in younger age group. Women who did not complete their secondary education were less likelihood to experience IPV (Odds ratio: 0.705, 95% CI: 0.540-0.922, P<0.010).Conclusion:Intimate partner violence is one main challenge to women’s health and wellbeing during pregnancy period. Proper implementation and community based interventions to support pregnant women to seek antenatal care services and to raise awareness regarding intimate partner violence are advocated.

A palavra letramento adquiriu uma polissemia que a afasta da noção de processo sócioistórico e a associa à codificação-decodificação da escrita. Sob essa concepção, não teríamos nada a acrescentar. Defendemos neste artigo, sob o enfoque da análise do discurso pêcheutiana e da psicanálise lacaniana, a concepção de letramento como fenômeno que influencia indiretamente culturas e indivíduos que não dominam a escrita, por ser um processo mais amplo do que a alfabetização. Como evidência dessa proposta, analisamos o texto de um aluno, que, instado a escrever sobre um tema distante da realidade em que vive, mobiliza lugares do arquivo e de sua memória particular, indicando um conhecimento da cultura escrita, mesmo que seu produto mostre a interpenetração de formas orais e escritas da língua, fato este que não é aceito por aqueles que defendem uma concepção a-histórica de letramento. Discutimos que sua escrita escapa das malhas redutoras de uma ideologia pedagogizante e reflete coerência discursiva estrutural ao desafio que lhe foi colocado. Propomos, ao final, que os educadores, em suas práticas, favoreçam a emergência da autoria de seus alunos.Palavras-chave: Letramento. Análise do discurso. Ideologia.

Education norms have been altered over the years; however, marginalization problems in linguistic education have not changed. A contemporary approach to linguistic education is taken in which individuals with brain injury or dysfunction are not observed isolatedly from the operations that structure them. This chapter is a study on the signification processes that are constituted during enunciation by subjects who, due to brain dysfunction, appropriate reality and produce conscience of themselves in a particular fashion. Linguistic monitoring articulated with neurolinguistics is suggested in order to promote rhythmic, lexical, and syntactic modifications in such subjects' discourse so as to place the significant chain in order as regards its oral or written production. Hence, subjects with brain dysfunction can develop authorship characteristics as concerns both language appropriation and the subjective aspect, thus showing unicity under the form of coherence: such subjects' creative imagination is imposed, ordinating and coordinating the content expressed.
