The Potential of Jack Bean (Canavalia ensiformis L.) Developed in Suboptimal Soil to Succeeding Food Sufficiency

/in /by

The more population grows, the more the food demand required. In this case, soybean, due to the less production compared to rice. In order to support food self-sufficiency and soybean demands, tropical legumes are cultivated due to its nutritional content which is similar to soybean.

It has quite unique adaptations which can grow its upright stems or grows vines, depends to the environment, and relatively shorter age than another type local bean plants. Jack bean seeds can be further processed into tempeh, powder, bakpia (Indonesian traditional sweet cake which using nuts for the filling), and various cakes as a substitute for soybean, mung bean, and wheat. Therefore, the jack bean plant has a great potential as food self-sufficient Indonesia’s program.

When life-threatening conditions occur during pregnancy or childbirth, Caesarean section (CS) is among the most important procedures for protecting the lives of mothers and babies [1]. Non-medical causes have been proposed as primary contributors to excessive CS [2]. Over the last few decades, global CS concentrations have gradually increased [3]. Aside from the potential for negative health consequences, unnecessary CS places a significant financial burden on individuals, families, and society as a whole.

The expenditure of post-pregnancy clinical consideration and cross as a result of prolonged CS is projected to be around US$ 2.32 billion globally. We looked at variables like education, occupation, wealth index, respondent’s media exposure, and child alive in this project, all of which have a major causal association with our dependent variable CS delivery. Based on the BDHS 2017-18 data, we used path analysis to look at the cultural and racial factors that influence the choice of CS in Bangladesh. For this, we used the SPSS AMOS program. Aside from binary logistic analysis, multivariate analysis was performed. Furthermore, correlation was used to identify the variables that had the greatest impact on the choice of CS.
