“…Bad experiences from previous illnesses have also been identified as a determinant of the severity assessment [ 8 ]. Several authors have documented the underestimation of signs of severe illness in neonates attributable to maternal educational level [ 8 , 13 , 17 , 22 , 23 ]. The findings in this study contradict those of several studies conducted in rural communities of Africa and Asia where fever and jaundice were seen as danger signs requiring immediate medical intervention [ 8 , 14 , 24 ].…”

Background Neonatal mortality continues to be a challenge in Nigeria, where low-quality care, caregivers’ ignorance of signs of neonatal illnesses, and prevalent use of unorthodox alternatives to health care predominate. Misconceptions originating and propagating as traditional practices and concepts can be linked to adverse neonatal outcomes and increased neonatal mortality. This study explores the perceptions of causes and management of neonatal illness among caregivers in rural communities in Enugu state, Nigeria. Methods This was a cross-sectional qualitative study among female caregivers of children residing in rural communities in Enugu state. A total of six focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted; three in each of the communities, using an FGD guide developed by the researchers. Using pre-determined themes, thematic content analysis was used to analyze the data. Results The mean age of respondents was 37.2 ± 13.5 years. Neonatal illnesses were reportedly presented in two forms; mild and severe forms. The common causes of the mild illnesses reported were fever, jaundice, eye discharge, skin disorders, and depressed fontanelle. The severe ones were convulsion, breathlessness/difficulty or fast breathing, draining pus from the umbilicus, and failure-to-thrive. The caregivers’ perceptions of causes and management of each illness varied. While some believed these illnesses could be managed with unorthodox treatments, others perceived the need to visit health centers for medical care. Conclusions Caregivers’ perception on the causes and management of common neonatal illnesses in these communities is poor. Obvious gaps were identified in this study. There is a need to design appropriate interventions to dispel the myths and improve the knowledge of these caregivers on neonatal illnesses towards adopting good health-seeking behaviours.

“…It found that, because they are aware of reduce, recycle, and reuse, the majority of households, about 71%, are willing to utilize recyclable materials to transport vegetables, grains, and other items from entire shops/markets (R3). A higher level of community participation in trash reduction at the source through scientific campaigns was required (Kumar & Nandini, 2013). Another study in Malasiya checked the education level and peoples perception.…”

The study was done from January to June of 2018 in Belbari Municipality with the aim to estimate the total waste production, quantity of biodegradable and non-biodegradable, some parameters of solid waste and to detect the common methods adopted in waste management and the relation of economic level in waste production and relation of the education level of people and their ideas or degree of satisfaction for the existing management system. Direct fieldwork was done for the quantification and sorting of the wastes. pH was tested according to Pathak (2017). The temperature was measured according to Daniel (1987) and moisture content by the method of Trautmann (1996). The total waste from Belbari Municipality produced per day was 17.500 tons. The waste contained 62.83% biodegradable and 37.17% nonbiodegradable. The moisture content of dumped wastes was 66.64%, the temperature was 3.33°C, higher than the atmosphere. The average pH of all months was 5.05. On the basis of Chi-square test, there was no relation between the economic level and type of wastes (Biodegradable and non-biodegradable) (p>0.05). The most of the respondents (48.5%) revealed that they manage the waste by dumping with cattle dung. On the basis of the Chi-square test, there was no relation between education level and opinion on the demand for new waste management project (p>0.05).
