The data was collected using interview method? by pre-structured questionnaire. Multi-variable logistic regression model was developed considering EBF practice as dependent and the significant independent variables. Results were reported as Crude Odds! Ratio [COR] or Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] with 95% Confidence Intervals [CIs]


Results: Prevalence of exclusive breast feeding [EBF] was 166 [41.5%]. EFB practice was significantly less in doctors and bankers as compared to nurses and teachers [p-value <0.001 ]. Women working as nurses and j teachers, having one or two children and short working hours had higher prevalence of exclusive breast j feeding. Women having prior knowledge about EBF; training of EBF and women who had previously heard j about EBF had five time higher rate of breast feeding. Women having knowledge of colostrum had three j times higher EBF practice [odds ratio: 3.02 [1 .86-4.91 ]]. Women having knowledge about hazards of bottle ! feeding had 12.7 times higher prevalence of EBF [odds ratio: 12.72 [5. 70-28. 38]]. Those who knew about expression of breast milk had three times higher prevalence of EBF [odds ratio: 3.0 [1.98-4.55]]. Mothers working in organizations that support EBF had 4.1 times higher prevalence of EBF [odds ratio: 4.1 [2.67-6.21 ]]. And proper training of mothers about correct expression technique of breast milk had 12 time [odds ratio: 11.06 [4.97-19.13]] Mgher prevalence of EBF


Conclusion; Lon% working hours, baakm% profession, facxvily icicome ajid tack of proper exclusive breast feeding are responsible for non-EBF practice ia working wocxxea. Proper Kcxowledie and awareness about exclusive breastfeediaeaad provision of facilities for exclusive breastfeeding

Résumé

Dental evidence is valuable in identification of individuals, especially following mass disasters; estimation of age at death of skeletonised remains and establishing guilt in cases of criminal injury by biting. Mandibular canines are found to exhibit the greatest sexual dimorphism amongst all teeth. To investigate the accuracy with which gender can be differentiated by using the mandibular canine index in the Punjabi - Pakistani population. Independent Medical College and Punjab Medical College, Faisalabad. Dec. 2008 to Dec. 2009. The present study was performed on 200 students, between the age group of 18-25 years, randomly sampled with informed consent [Through 3rd party]. Mandibular canine width and intercanine distance were measured with the help of Vernier caliper after observing aseptic conditions. MandibuIar canine index was calculated and the observed MCI was compared with the standard MCI value. The data was then analyzed using student's "t" test. No significant statistical difference was noted between the right and left mandibular canines amongst males and females [same sex] but when comparing between males and females, there was highly statistical significant difference [P < 0.001]. The calculated standard MCI for canines of males and females found to be 0.2504. With these calculations we could predict sex correctly at 75.97% in this study [Male: 71.67% and Female: 78.72%]. MCI is a quick and reliable method for sexual identification when a standard for the population is available. With these calculations, we could predict the sex correctly at 75.97% in this study. This method can be used as adjunct to other available tools for sex determination. DNA studies can reveal sex accurately. Availability of comprehensive database with "NADRA" can also be used as adjunct to "MCI" to enhance the accuracy in determination of sex and identity of the person in Pakistan
