Components of Small Area Variation in Fertility Rates in South India
ثبت نشده
چکیده
INDIA Health information system is needed at small area such as sub-centres (SC), Primary Health Centres (PHC) or district level for health planning. This includes monitoring of maternal and child health services, providing warning signals to identify specific problematic areas and improving them through necessary interventions. One of such problematic situations has been the high levels of fertility; Crude birth rate (CBR), General marital fertility rate (GMFR), Total fertility rate (TFR), Children ever born (CEB), Children surviving (CS) etc. and constant infant mortality. As there is no routine surveillance system, information on fertility rate at the local level is often based on specific sample surveys conducted by various Research Institutes / Organizations. Monitoring the fertility levels in a specified local area is therefore difficult. Studies on fertility rates and their differentials are many but they are based on the data at the state or country level.

Components of small area variation in fertility rates among married women in south India.
OBJECTIVE To adapt and develop a method for finding out what proportion of the variation among small areas in the number of births to married women is excess (systematic) variation over and above the chance (random) variation. METHODS We adopted a two-stage sampling procedure to select 20 sub-centres in south India. We contacted all households and collected information on recent births and so...
متن کاملSummer time variation and unexpected nocturnal peak in precursors related Surface ozone concentration in air over a tropical coastal regionof Southern Tamil Nadu, India
Surface ozone (Surface O3)is a secondary pollutant and there are only limited studies on ozone in South India. Studies have revealed a strong correlation between higher ozone levels and warmer days. Surface O3 along with its precursors like NO2, CO and CH4 are being measured at Kanyakumari (8.0780° N, 77.5410° E), TamilNadu, India and in this paper we present the summer time variation of ozone ...

Surface ozone (SOZ) can be very harmful if it exceeds the threshold limit. It can accumulate over sea and can return back to the land along with the breeze. Rural and vegetation rich areas often record elevated levels of surface ozone because of the variations in Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) levels, wind velocity and direction. Similarly methane is also an important greenhouse gas and plays ...

Studies of rainfall variation generally focus on large areas. For example, in India, the area average monsoon rainfall series of the whole country or meteorological subdivisions are used. This would be of no use for local agriculture, particularly in places where rainfall is very high or very low, especially for crops like small cardamom and vanilla which are very sensitive to soil moisture and...
