Health Belief Model dan Analisis Jalur Tentang Faktor yang Mempengaruhi Kesediaan Tes Human Immunodeficiency Virus pada Ibu Hamil di Kota Kediri

Latar Belakang: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) merupakan retrovirus RNA yang dapat menyebabkan penyakit klinis, yang kita kenal sebagai Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Transmisi dari ibu ke anak merupakan sumber utama penularan infeksi HIV pada anak. Peningkatan transmisi dapat diukur dari status klinis, imunologis dan virologis maternal. Menurut beberapa penelitian, kehamilan dapat meningkatkan progresi imunosupresi dan penyakit maternal. Ibu hamil yang terinfeksi HIV juga dapat meningkatkan resiko komplikasi pada kehamilan.Subjek dan Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian jenis analitik observasional. Berdasarkan ada atau tidak ada perlakuan termasuk jenis penelitian expost facto (mengungkap fakta). Dengan pendekatan case control (kasus kontrol) subyek dipilih dengan menggunakan teknik Fixed deseases sampling.Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar responden (80%) menerima tes HIV. Faktor yang ditemukan berhubungan dengan penerimaan tes HIV oleh ibu hamil adalah faktor ancaman (koef 1.23;95%CI=0.09-2.73P0.035), manfaat (koef 1.83:95%CI= 0.68-2.98P0.002), kerentanan (koef 1.55;95%CI=0.42-2.69P0.007), keparahan (1.69;95%CI=0.68-2.59P0.001), isyarat bertindak (koef 1.25;95%CI=0.14-2.36P0.027). Faktor usia, pendidikan, pekerjaan, status perkawinan tidak berhubungan secara signifikan dengan kesediaan tes HIV pada ibu hamil. Alasan menerima adalah mengikuti anjuran petugas kesehatan, ingin tahu status HIV. Alasan tidak bersedia tes adalah takut diambil darah, takut hasil yang akan diterima, dan tidak mendapat persetujuan tes HIV dari suami.Kesimpulan: Simpulan dari penelitian ini adalah kerentanan, keparahan, hambatan, manfaat dan isyarat bertindak merupakan faktor yang berhubungan langsung dengan kesediaan tes HIV pada ibu hamil. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat berguna bagi petugas ksehatan di tempat pelayanan antenatal care dan dapat dipakai sebagai dasar penelitian lebih lanjut.Kata kunci: Health belief model, kesediaan tes HIV.
The FIR/Radio correlation of high redshift galaxies in the region of the HDF-N

The correlation between the far-infrared (FIR) and radio emission is well established for nearby star forming galaxies. Many applications, in particular the radio-to-submm spectral index redshift indicator, tacitly assume that the relation holds well beyond our local neighbourhood, to systems located at cosmological distances. In order to test this assumption I have constructed a sample of 20 HDF-N galaxies, all with measured spectroscopic redshifts, and all detected by both ISO and the WSRT at 15 micron and 1.4 GHz respectively. The galaxies span a wide range of redshift with a median value of $z \sim 0.7$. The ISO 15 micron data were k-corrected and extrapolated to the FIR (60 and 100 micron) by assuming a starburst (M 82) spectral energy distribution (SED) for the entire sample. An initial analysis of the data suggests that the correlation between the FIR and the radio emission continues to apply at high redshift with no obvious indication that it fails to apply beyond $z \sim 1.3$. The sample is “contaminated” by at least 1 distant ($z=4.4$), radio-loud AGN, VLA J123642+621331. This source has recently been detected by the first deep field VLBI observations of the HDF-N and is clearly identified as an outlier in the FIR/radio correlation.
Treatment satisfaction among men with concurrent benign prostatic hyperplasia and erectile dysfunction treated with tadalafil or other phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitor combinations

Objective Erectile dysfunction (ED) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) frequently co-occur in men aged ≥40, along with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to BPH. Given little real-world evidence on treatment use or satisfaction with treatment for concurrent BPH/LUTS and/or ED, this study examined medication regimens and differences in satisfaction and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) across regimens among men with concurrent BPH and ED. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted using an Internet survey of participants recruited through an online panel. Respondents (N=736) included men (aged ≥40) who self-reported a diagnosis of both ED and BPH with prescription treatment in the past 3 months for both conditions. Treatment satisfaction (eg, convenience and ease of planning) and HRQoL (eg, International Prostate Symptom Score, sleep quality) were self-reported. Generalized linear models examined the association of regimen with treatment satisfaction and HRQoL, adjusting for covariates (eg, age and comorbidities). Results Final analyses included participants (N=507) using: tadalafil once-daily monotherapy (22%), tadalafil for ED with an alternate BPH therapy (36%), or another phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitor (PDE5-I) combination (41%). These groups represented the major categories of treatment regimens found in the sample, excluded participants with ambiguous regimens, and were aligned with current standard of care for BPH and ED. Overall, patients reported moderate levels of BPH and a moderate-to-severe degree of ED. Tadalafil monotherapy patients had higher treatment satisfaction scores and greater reported ease of treatment planning and convenience than PDE5-I combination patients. No significant intergroup differences were found on HRQoL. Conclusion A majority of patients (59%) took tadalafil alone or in combination for BPH/ED treatment. Tadalafil monotherapy patients reported greater treatment satisfaction than patients taking PDE5-I combination therapy. Higher satisfaction for both effectiveness and convenience of once-daily tadalafil may inform both patient and clinician decisions regarding pharmacotherapy regimens.
Choosing between methods: analysing the user's decision space in terms of schemas and linear models

We offer an account of how users choose between alternative methods which take different times to accomplish the same task. Users offered a choice between two methods do not necessarily pick the faster. We argue that users reduce the complexity of the decision space by applying a 'simple compensation schema' acquired from everyday experience. Linear models of performance time enable us to predict how users will view the situation in terms of this schema, and how accurate assessment of the optimal choices within the schema-based assimilations can result in an apparent bias in favour of one method.
COMPASSION SATISFACTION, SECONDARY TRAUMATIC STRESS AND BURNOUT AMONG RESCUERS

Objective: To explore the level of and relationship between compassion satisfaction (CS), secondary traumatic stress (STS), and burnout (BO) and to find out significant predictors of compassion satisfaction among rescuers. Methodology: This study was based on cross-sectional survey research design. It was conducted in Faisalabad Division from September to December 2016. A sample of 185 men with mean age 32.45 ±5.64 paramedics (n=100) and firefighters (n=85) working in Rescue 1122 were selected with purposive sampling technique from Faisalabad and Chiniot City. Professional Quality of Life scale developed by Stamm (2009) was used to measure the level of CS, STS and BO among paramedics and fire fighters. Results: Significant positive relationship between CS and STS and significant negative relationship between CS and BO among rescuers were observed (p <0.01). Rescuers’ have moderate level of CS, STS and BO. Compassion satisfaction was significantly predicted from age group, marital status, living area, socioeconomic status, nature of job, STS and BO (F [7,177] =44.37, p =.001) R2 =. 64. Conclusion: Rescuers had average level of and significant relationship with CS, STS, and BO. Compassion satisfaction was significantly predicted from age group, marital status, living area, and socioeconomic status, nature of job, STS and BO.
Personalized POI Recommendation on Location-Based Social Networks Disseration Prospectus

The rapid urban expansion has greatly extended the physical boundary of our living area, along with a large number of POIs (points of interest) being developed. A POI is a specific location (e.g., hotel, restaurant, theater, mall) that a user may find useful or interesting. When exploring the city and neighborhood, the increasing number of POIs could enrich people’s daily life, providing them with more choices of life experience than before, while at the same time also brings the problem of “curse of choices”, resulting in the difficulty for a user to make a satisfied decision on “where to go” in an efficient way. Personalized POI recommendation is a task proposed on purpose of helping users filter out uninteresting POIs and reduce time in decision making, which could also benefit virtual marketing. Developing POI recommender systems requires observation of human mobile behavior w.r. t. real-world POIs, which is infeasible with traditional mobile data. However, the recent development of location-based social networks (LBSNs) provides such observation. Typical location-based social networking sites allow users to “check in” at POIs with smartphones, leave tips and share that experience with their online friends. The increasing number of LBSN users has generated large amounts of LBSN data, providing an unprecedented opportunity to study human mobile behavior for personalized POI recommendation in spatial, temporal, social, and content aspects. Different from recommender systems in other categories, e.g., movie recommendation in NetFlix, friend recommendation in dating websites, item recommendation in online shopping sites, personalized POI recommendation on LBSNs has its unique challenges due to the stochastic property of human mobile behavior and the mobile behavior indications provided by LBSN information layout. The strong correlations between geographical POI information and other LBSN information result in three major human mobile properties, i.e., geo-temporal patterns, geo-social correlations, and geo-content indications, which are neither observed in other recommender systems, nor exploited in current POI recommendation. In this proposal, we investigate these properties on LBSNs, and propose personalized POI recommendation models accordingly. Disseration Prospectus 2 Arizona State University
Oxytocin Reverses Osteoporosis in a Sex-Dependent Manner

The increase of life expectancy has led to the increase of age-related diseases such as osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is characterized by bone weakening promoting the occurrence of fractures with defective bone regeneration. Men aged over 50 have a prevalence for osteoporosis of 20%, which is related to a decline in sex hormones occurring during andropause or surgical orchidectomy. As we previously demonstrated in a mouse model for menopause in women that treatment with the neurohypophyseal peptide hormone oxytocin (OT) normalizes body weight and prevents the development of osteoporosis, herein we addressed the effects of OT in male osteoporosis. Thus, we treated orchidectomized mice, an animal model suitable for the study of male osteoporosis, for 8 weeks with OT and then analyzed trabecular and cortical bone parameters as well as fat mass using micro-computed tomography. Orchidectomized mice displayed severe bone loss, muscle atrophy accompanied by fat mass gain as expected in andropause. Interestingly, OT treatment in male mice normalized fat mass as it did in female mice. However, although OT treatment led to a normalization of bone parameters in ovariectomized mice, this did not happen in orchidectomized mice. Moreover, loss of muscle mass was not reversed in orchidectomized mice upon OT treatment. All of these observations indicate that OT acts on fat physiology in both sexes, but in a sex specific manner with regard to bone physiology.
Two Systems of Maintenance in Verbal Working Memory: Evidence from the Word Length Effect

The extended time-based resource-sharing (TBRS) model suggested a working memory architecture in which an executive loop and a phonological loop could both support the maintenance of verbal information. The consequence of such a framework is that phonological effects known to impact the maintenance of verbal information, like the word length effect (WLE), should depend on the use of the phonological loop, but should disappear under the maintenance by the executive loop. In two previous studies, introducing concurrent articulation in complex span tasks barely affected WLE, contradicting the prediction from the TBRS model. The present study re-evaluated the WLE in a complex span task while controlling for time parameters and the amount of concurrent articulation. Specifically, we used a computer-paced span task in which participants remembered lists of either short or long words while concurrently either articulating or making a location judgment. Whereas the WLE appeared when participants remained silent, concurrent articulation eliminated the effect. Introducing a concurrent attention demand reduced recall, but did not affect WLE, and did not interact with concurrent articulation. These results support the existence of two systems of maintenance for verbal information.
Registration Error Analysis for Augmented Reality

Augmented reality (AR) systems typically use see-through head-mounted displays (STHMDs) to superimpose images of computer-generated objects onto the user's view of the real environment in order to augment it with additional information. The main failing of current AR systems is that the virtual objects displayed in the STHMD appear in the wrong position relative to the real environment. This registration error has many causes: system delay, tracker error, calibration error, optical distortion, and misalignment of the model, to name only a few. Although some work has been done in the area of system calibration and error correction, very little work has been done on characterizing the nature and sensitivity of the errors that cause misregistration in AR systems. This paper presents the main results of an end-to-end error analysis of an optical STHMD-based tool for surgery planning. The analysis was done with a mathematical model of the system and the main results were checked by taking measurements on a real system under controlled circumstances. The model makes it possible to analyze the sensitivity of the system-registration error to errors in each part of the system. The major results of the analysis are: (1) Even for moderate head velocities, system delay causes more registration error than all other sources combined; (2) eye tracking is probably not necessary; (3) tracker error is a significant problem both in head tracking and in system calibration; (4) the World (or reference) coordinate system adds error and should be omitted when possible; (5) computational correction of optical distortion may introduce more delay-induced registration error than the distortion error it corrects, and (6) there are many small error sources that will make submillimeter registration almost impossible in an optical STHMD system without feedback. Although this model was developed for optical STHMDs for surgical planning, many of the results apply to other HMDs as well.
Convergence Results for Projected Line-Search Methods on Varieties of Low-Rank Matrices Via Łojasiewicz Inequality

The aim of this paper is to derive convergence results for projected line-search methods on the real-algebraic variety $\mathcal{M}_{\le k}$ of real $m \times n$ matrices of rank at most $k$. Such methods extend Riemannian optimization methods, which are successfully used on the smooth manifold $\mathcal{M}_k$ of rank-$k$ matrices, to its closure by taking steps along gradient-related directions in the tangent cone, and afterwards projecting back to $\mathcal{M}_{\le k}$. Considering such a method circumvents the difficulties which arise from the nonclosedness and the unbounded curvature of $\mathcal{M}_k$. The pointwise convergence is obtained for real-analytic functions on the basis of a Łojasiewicz inequality for the projection of the antigradient to the tangent cone. If the derived limit point lies on the smooth part of $\mathcal{M}_{\le k}$, i.e., in $\mathcal{M}_k$, this boils down to more or less known results, but with the benefit that asymptotic convergence rate estimates (for specific step-sizes.
The Gluten-Free Diet: Testing Alternative Cereals Tolerated by Celiac Patients

A strict gluten-free diet (GFD) is the only currently available therapeutic treatment for patients with celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder of the small intestine associated with a permanent intolerance to gluten proteins. The complete elimination of gluten proteins contained in cereals from the diet is the key to celiac disease management. However, this generates numerous social and economic repercussions due to the ubiquity of gluten in foods. The research presented in this review focuses on the current status of alternative cereals and pseudocereals and their derivatives obtained by natural selection, breeding programs and transgenic or enzymatic technology, potential tolerated by celiac people. Finally, we describe several strategies for detoxification of dietary gluten. These included enzymatic cleavage of gliadin fragment by Prolyl endopeptidases (PEPs) from different organisms, degradation of toxic peptides by germinating cereal enzymes and transamidation of cereal flours. This information can be used to search for and develop cereals with the baking and nutritional qualities of toxic cereals, but which do not exacerbate this condition.
Does Peer Ability Affect Education Choices

Classroom ability matters if children assess their own academic ability relative to their peers. I use detailed survey and administrative data on a cohort of Swedish 6th graders to estimate the effect of classmates’ ability on students compulsory school choices. Class ability appears to be as good as randomly assigned within schools, which allows to give causal interpretation to the estimates. I find that a one standard deviation increase in average class ability reduces by 2 percentage points the probability of taking an advanced math course in grades 7 to 9. Peer ability does not affect English course choices in grades 7 to 9, and whether students choose academic tracks in high school. I look at underlying mechanisms and show that peer ability negatively affects students’ assessment of own ability. The different reduced-form effects on math and English course choices reflect different spillovers in performance: students benefit much more from having high ability peers in English, an interactive subject, than they do in math. Finally peer ability does not seem to affect student’s motivation, class interaction and parental support, but positively affects teacher interaction.
Computational solution of stochastic differential equations

Stochastic differential equations (SDEs) provide accessible mathematical models that combine deterministic and probabilistic components of dynamic behavior. This article is an overview of numerical solution methods for SDEs. The solutions are stochastic processes that represent diffusive dynamics, a common modeling assumption in many application areas. We include a description of fundamental numerical methods and the concepts of strong and weak convergence and order for SDE solvers. In addition, we briefly discuss the extension of SDE solvers to coupled systems driven by correlated noise. WIREs Comput Stat 2013. doi: 10.1002/wics.1272
The good, the bad, and the random: an eye-tracking study of ad quality in web search

We investigate how people interact with Web search engine result pages using eye-tracking. While previous research has focused on the visual attention devoted to the 10 organic search results, this paper examines other components of contemporary search engines, such as ads and related searches. We systematically varied the type of task (informational or navigational), the quality of the ads (relevant or irrelevant to the query), and the sequence in which ads of different quality were presented. We measured the effects of these variables on the distribution of visual attention and on task performance. Our results show significant effects of each variable. The amount of visual attention that people devote to organic results depends on both task type and ad quality. The amount of visual attention that people devote to ads depends on their quality, but not the type of task. Interestingly, the sequence and predictability of ad quality is also an important factor in determining how much people attend to ads. When the quality of ads varied randomly from task to task, people paid little attention to the ads, even when they were good. These results further our understanding of how attention devoted to search results is influenced by other page elements, and how previous search experiences influence how people attend to the current page.
Community Involvement in Dengue Outbreak Control: An Integrated Rigorous Intervention Strategy

Background An explosive outbreak of dengue fever occurred in Guangdong Province, China in 2014. A community-based integrated intervention was applied to control this outbreak in the capital city Guangzhou, where dengue epidemic was mainly caused by imported cases. Methodology/Principal Findings We used a time series generalized additive model based on meteorological factors to assess the effectiveness of this intervention. The results showed that there was significant reduction in mosquito density following the intervention, and there was a 70.47% (95% confidence interval: 66.07%, 74.88%) reduction in the reported dengue cases compared with the predicted cases after 12 days since the beginning of the intervention, we estimated that a total of 23,302 dengue cases were prevented. Conclusions This study suggests that an integrated dengue intervention program has significant effects to control a dengue outbreak in areas where dengue epidemic was mainly caused by imported dengue cases.
Fully Pipelined Low-Cost and High-Quality Color Demosaicking VLSI Design for Real-Time Video Applications

This brief presents a fully pipelined color demosaicking design. To improve the quality of reconstructed images, a linear deviation compensation scheme was created to increase the correlation between the interpolated and neighboring pixels. Furthermore, immediately interpolated green color pixels are first to be used in hardware-oriented color demosaicking algorithms, which efficiently promoted the quality of the reconstructed image. A boundary detector and a boundary mirror machine were added to improve the quality of pixels located in boundaries. In addition, a hardware sharing technique was used to reduce the hardware costs of three interpolators. The very-large-scale integration architecture in this brief contains only 4.97 K gate counts, and the core area is 60 229 μm2 synthesized by using 0.18-μm CMOS process. Compared with the previous low-complexity designs, this work has the benefits in terms of low cost, low power consumption, and high performance.
