Background: Currently pregnant women with abnormal glucose screening test (GCT), performed at 26 - 28 weeks gestation with a subsequent normal glucose tolerance test (GTT) receive routine care. Could these women be at risk of adverse pregnancy? Objective: Compare rate of caesarean section (CS), induction of labour (IOL), macrosomia, admission to special care nursery and neonatal hypoglycaemia. Designs: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Ipswich Hospital, Ipswich, Queensland. Participants: Pregnant women having had the test at the hospital laboratory. Methods: Charts review of outcome measures including induction of labour, caesarean section, macrosomia, RDS and short-term neonatal morbidity. Results: We reviewed 882 charts (441 cases and 441 controls). There was a higher IOL rate among cases 21.1% versus 16.6% (OR and 95% CI 1.45; 1.03 - 2.06) and a higher CS rate, 30.4 versus 23.6 (OR and 95% CI 1.41; 1.05 - 1.91). Compared to women with BMI 18.5 - 24.9, women with BMI of 30 and above had a significantly higher IOL rate (47.1% versus 22.6%), higher CS rate (47.2% versus 25.7%) and higher rate of macrosomic baby (79.2% versus 4.2%). There were more women amongst the cases who were older, smoked, had a BMI 30 and above and had previous history of GDM. After adjusting for maternal age, BMI and smoking status, there was still an increased odds of CS, IOL and macrosomia, but this did not reach statistical significance. Conclusion: Abnormal glucose screening test in the absence of gestational diabetes is associated with adverse pregnancy outcome. This is largely contributed by maternal obesity.

Does Immigration Promote the Investment of the Monopolistic Firm?

In the present paper, we examine the effect of increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth on the optimal timing of investment of a firm that has a monopolistic power over the labor market. It is revealed that when the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is more than a threshold level, increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth accelerates the optimal timing of firms’ investment and enhances the economic growth, even if the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is formulated by the geometric Brownian motion, which is in sharp contrast to the standard result that an increase in the uncertainty postpones the optimal timing. With an increase in the immigrants over the past ten years, workforces in the host countries have been growing significantly to the extent that the immigrants represent 70% of the increase in the workforce in Europe, and 47% in the United States as OECD indicates. In the present paper, we attempted to investigate the effect of increased uncertainty caused by the growi...

Education Policy Implementation: A Mechanism for Enhancing Primary Education Development in Zanzibar

Education is one of the fundamental rights of individuals; therefore, the government of a country needs to develop and strengthen educational policy and quality as well as to ensure that everyone has equal access to basic education. The improvement of access and quality of education in the world is becoming as an essential factor in development, whereas the basic education (primary school), is acknowledged as a foundation of the higher educational development for every country. To fulfill this goal, governments introduce several policies and procedures; however, it requires some reforms and participation from the politician, policymakers, and other stakeholders to re-examine educational policy so that it can lead to multiplication and betterment of the reforms. Educational reforms actually focus on accountability. A positive educational development and reform is very challenging and needs more effort and strategy on how to use and utilize the resources effectively as such it can achie...
