“PrEP should be available all the time and everywhere”: A qualitative assessment of family planning and PrEP integration in Lesotho

Background Lesotho has a high HIV burden, with women disproportionately affected. Increased access points for HIV prevention services, including oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), should be considered. Using family planning (FP) settings for PrEP services may contribute to greater uptake of HIV prevention methods. Methodology This formative qualitative assessment was conducted in Maseru District, Lesotho and included in-depth interviews with 15 key informants, 10 FP providers in public facilities and community sites, and 15 FP and PrEP clients from facility and community sites. Interviews were audio recorded and in lieu of producing transcripts, teams completed semi-structured data extraction tables after each interview. Findings were compiled and synthesized by participant group into matrices and themes identified through deductive and inductive analysis. Results Policy makers were generally supportive of integration but felt hampered by lack of integration policies and separation of HIV and FP departments at Ministry of Health. Funders stressed the need for coordination among partners to avoid duplication of efforts. Partners felt clients would be interested in PrEP/FP integration and that PrEP demand creation and education were crucial needs. Most providers supported integration, stressing the potential benefit to clients. Barriers discussed included heavy workloads, staff shortages, training needs, separate registers for FP and PrEP, and commodity stock-outs. Providers discussed strengthening integrated services through training, increasing staffing, having job aids and guidelines, merging the FP and PrEP registers, and marketing services together to create demand for both. Clients were overwhelmingly willing to have longer visits to receive comprehensive services and were supportive of receiving PrEP services from FP providers. Clients not using PrEP expressed willingness and interest to use. Clients' suggestions for successful integration included consulting with youth, conducting community outreaches, and improving provider availability. Conclusions Existing FP platforms are established and well-utilized; thus providing opportunities for integrating PrEP. This assessment found support across all groups of respondents for providing PrEP within FP settings and identified a number of facilitators and barriers to integration. As PrEP rollout is relatively nascent in many countries, deepening the evidence base early will enable the utilization of findings to build stronger integrated programs with wider coverage.
A Read/Write Protocol Family for Versatile Storage Infrastructures (CMU-PDL-05-108)

The ideal storage infrastructure scales to meet new demands. Traditionally, the emphasis has been on the capacity and performance scalability of a storage infrastructure. Current trends towards massive storage infrastructures comprised entirely of commodity components demand broader forms of scalability. The next generation of storage infrastructures must scale to tolerate more and varied types of faults. Fault-scalability, the ability to tolerate large numbers of faults efficiently, is needed so that the simultaneous failures of multiple commodity components can be tolerated. Versatility, the ability to store objects with radically different resiliency (fault-tolerance) and performance requirements simultaneously and efficiently, is needed so that a deployed storage infrastructure can meet new demands as they are identified. This dissertation develops a set of related protocols for reading and writing data objects—called the Read/Write Protocol Family (R/W-PF)—that enables a versatile storage infrastructure to be built. The R/W-PF provides versatility: objects with different per-object resiliency requirements can be stored in the same storage infrastructure. The costs (response time, number of servers required, etc.) of storing an object are commensurate with its resiliency requirements. The R/W-PF incorporates versatile storage mechanisms, such as erasure codes, witnesses, and quorums, in its design, allowing the efficiency of read and write access to stored objects to be tuned to meet capacity and performance requirements. Measurements of PASIS, a prototype storage system based on the R/WPF, demonstrate its versatility. These measurements show that the R/W-PF
Prediction model for potential depression using sex and age-reflected quantitative EEG biomarkers

Depression is a prevalent mental disorder in modern society, causing many people to suffer or even commit suicide. Psychiatrists and psychologists typically diagnose depression using representative tests, such as the Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), in conjunction with patient consultations. Traditional tests, however, are time-consuming, can be trained on patients, and entailed a lot of clinician subjectivity. In the present study, we trained the machine learning models using sex and age-reflected z-score values of quantitative EEG (QEEG) indicators based on data from the National Standard Reference Data Center for Korean EEG, with 116 potential depression subjects and 80 healthy controls. The classification model has distinguished potential depression groups and normal groups, with a test accuracy of up to 92.31% and a 10-cross-validation loss of 0.13. This performance proposes a model with z-score QEEG metrics, considering sex and age as objective and reliable biomarkers for early screening for the potential depression.
Compensatory mechanism of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder recovery in resting state alpha rhythms

Alpha rhythms in the human electroencephalogram (EEG), oscillating at 8-13 Hz, are located in parieto-occipital cortex and are strongest when awake people close their eyes. It has been suggested that alpha rhythms were related to attention-related functions and mental disorders (e.g., Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)). However, many studies have shown inconsistent results on the difference in alpha oscillation between ADHD and control groups. Hence it is essential to verify this difference. In this study, a dataset of EEG recording (128 channel EGI) from 87 healthy controls (HC) and 162 ADHD (141 persisters and 21 remitters) adults in a resting state with their eyes closed was used to address this question and a three-gauss model (summation of baseline and alpha components) was conducted to fit the data. To our surprise, the power of alpha components was not a significant difference among the three groups. Instead, the baseline power of remission and HC group in the alpha band is significantly stronger than that of persister groups. Our results suggest that ADHD recovery may have compensatory mechanisms and many abnormalities in EEG may be due to the influence of behavior rather than the difference in brain signals.

Nutritional Requirements of Pasteurella tularensis for Growth from Small Inocula

SUMMARY: The ability of Pasteurella tularensis to grow from small inocula (less than 105 organisms) was found to be critically dependent upon the supply of materials produced by this organism (growth-initiating substance, GIS). In contrast, large inocula showed no requirement for added GIS. The growth-promoting activity of GIS was enhanced in the presence of blood. The evidence favours the conclusion that the inoculum-dependent growth characteristics of P. tularensis are attributable to a nutritional heterogeneity of the bacterial population. According to this interpretation, GIS is produced by a relatively small number of bacteria in the population and is excreted by them into the surrounding culture fluid. The excreted material enables growth of the GIS-requiring organisms which constitute a major proportion of the total population. This commensal relationship appears to account for the characteristic all-or-none type of growth response elicited by GIS.

Different types of screen-based sedentary time and anxiety in adolescents: Video games may be more important

Aim Evidence demonstrates the negative impact of excessive screen-based sedentary time (screen-based sedentary behavior; SSB) on mental health in adolescents. However, little is known regarding the associations between different types of SSBs and anxiety symptoms in adolescents. Thus, this study sought to explore the associations between different types of SSBs and anxiety symptoms in a sample of Chinese adolescents. Methods A web-based questionnaire survey was used to collect data. In total, 1,998 study participants conveniently recruited in Guangdong Province completed the questionnaire. Of them, 1,331 study participants provided valid data for variables of interest. SSB was categorized into television/movie time, video game time, and internet-surfing time. Anxiety symptoms were assessed using Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, a validated assessment in Chinese youth populations. Generalized linear models were used to explore the associations between different types of SSBs and anxiety symptoms. Results In adolescents, video game time of 6 or more h was positively and significantly associated with anxiety symptoms (odds ratio = 5.25, 95% CI: 1.86–14.84, p < 0.01). This association was also observed specifically in boys (odds ratio = 5.12, 95% CI: 1.56–17.44, p < 0.05); however, in girls, there were no associations between different types of SSBs and anxiety symptoms. Conclusion Interventions aiming at reducing video games in adolescents, especially in boys, should be designed to prevent anxiety symptoms. This kind of intervention should also take sex differences into consideration. Future studies are encouraged to confirm the veracity of the findings in this study.
How can we trust in the o-d matrix correction procedure using traffic counts?

Planning and design of transport systems are based on the application of systems of transport simulation models, whose forecast reliability and goodness of fit strongly influence the results and the quality of the planned/designed interventions. The implementation of a reliable and good system of models should be based on the disaggregate estimation of each one of the model components (supply, demand, assignment). The resulting estimated system of models should be then validated as a whole by comparing its output with corresponding observed measures (normally link flows). This validation generally fails for a number of reasons. Therefore, the observed measures are generally used to correct and to improve the model (usually the o-d matrix), normally through a GLS estimator. This procedure is so widely applied and trusted in practice that researchers and practitioners often adopt sub-models already estimated somewhere else, therefore leading to a further approximation. As a consequence, the model reliability is in practice almost entirely handled by means of the model correction through trafficcounts. In spite of that, few researchers have focused their attention ona systematic analysis of to what extent this procedure is able to correctthe whole system of models and consistently guarantee its forecast reliability.ents wherein a demand matrix, a supply and an assignment model as well as the corresponding link flows (i.e. resulting from demand assignment to the network) are all assumed to be "true". This allows carrying out a series of experiments wherein both the true o-d matrix and the whole set of(observed) unbiased link flows are available for the o-d matrix correction. For instance, the following issues can be deepened: (a) given a random perturbation of the true o-d demand, check the capability of different subsets of link flows to reproduce the starting true demand through the GLS estimator; (b) introducing a random perturbation of link flows in the previous experiment so to mimic assignment/sampling errors. The paper proposes a number of different experiments of this kind in order to explore the capability of the correction procedure to correct the o-d matrix in presence of different possible biases involving each demand choice dimension (generation, distribution, mode choice), and with reference to different levels of precision in the input data (i.e. perturbations in link flows for mimicking possible supply/assignment errors and approximations). Very interestingly, some preliminary results on a real network show the o-d matrix correction procedure to provide for a reliable demand correction only in very few specific cases.

Learning novel vowel contrasts: experimental methods in classroom applications

This dissertation reports on perceptual training of tense-lax vowel contrasts in the context of an advanced-level ESL pronunciation class for Chinese and Korean international graduate students. The vowel contrasts were trained under four training paradigms designed to examine the effects of variation due to multiple speakers, different speech rates and coda consonant. Training material consisted of nonce word minimal pairs used to mitigate task complexity related to lexical access and to circumvent the effects of frequency and top-down processing. Participants completed preand posttests on discriminating vowels in real word minimal pairs and nonce word minimal pairs. Vowel perceptual training took place over the course of six days wherein each day’s training consisted of 100 exemplars that students played as much or as little as they wanted; the number of sound files they played was tracked and recorded. Participants finished training at their own discretion and then were tested on a 25-member subset of that day’s training tokens. Chinese and Korean learners trained under one of four training paradigms; Training Paradigm A, multiple speakers, three speech rates; B, multiple speakers, one speech rate; C one speaker, three speech rates; D, one speaker, one speech rate. Chinese and Korean participants who trained in Paradigm A and B (but not C and D) made significant gains in their ability to identify vowel contrasts in real-word minimal pairs. Mandarin speaking participants made significant gains in the nonce-word post-test regardless of training paradigm; Korean participants made significant gains in nonce words in Paradigms A, B, and C but not D. Analysis of the test items indicated that Mandarin speakers made significant gains for tense vowels in training Paradigm A; lax vowels made significant gains in Paradigms B and D. Korean participants who
Nesprávná užívání statistické významnosti a jejich možná řešení

The use of significance tests in social sciences is widespread mainly due to simple computation via sta- tistical packages. Unfortunately the more social scientists use statistical significance estimates for making causal inferences the less they appear to understand about this influential concept. Statistical modelling results are usu - ally presented in terms of their statistical significance and little other information is provided. The goal of this article is to show the limits of using statistical significance as a sole means of making inferences; and to present al- ternative statistical fit indicators readily available within frequentist approach to statistics: confidence intervals, minimum sample size and power analysis. Multiple wor- king hypotheses are also explored together with two well known information criteria - AIC and BIC. This article provides practical information on how to undertake valid and reliable statistical analyses of social science data. Data a výzkum - SDA Info 2010, Vol. 4, No. 2: 77-104.

Title A cluster of 11 CBF transcription factors is located at the frost tolerance locus FrA m 2 in Triticum monococcum Permalink

Due to the adverse effects of cold temperatures on winter wheat, frost tolerance is an important trait for breeding programs in regions with severe winters. Frost tolerance locus Fr-A2 was recently discovered in diploid wheat (Triticum monococcum L.). This locus was mapped as a QTL on chromosome 5A in the same region as a QTL for the level of transcription of the coldregulated gene COR14b at 15 C. A CBF transcription factor was mapped in the center of these two overlapping QTLs. However, since the CBF gene family in wheat has numerous members, it was possible that multiple CBF genes were present at Fr-A2. To investigate this possibility we initiated a systematic characterization of the CBF family in T. monococcum. Here we report the molecular characterization of thirteen TmCBF genes. Nine of them were numbered according to the closest barley HvCBF gene, and the other four that have no clear barley orthologues were assigned numbers TmCBF15 to TmCBF18. TmCBF5 and TmCBF18 were mapped on T. monococcum chromosomes 7A and 6A, respectively, and are thus not candidates for the Fr-A2 gene. The remaining eleven TmCBF genes are clustered at the Fr-A2 locus within five different Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) clones. These BACs were mapped using a high-density map and recombination events were found between most BACs. Lines carrying these recombination events will be useful to identify which of the CBF genes is responsible for the differences in frost tolerance between the T. monococcum parental lines at the Fr-A2 locus.

Library Video Tutorials to Support Large Undergraduate Labs: Will They Watch?

Video tutorials were designed for students working on a General Chemistry scientific inquiry laboratory in 2008, as a supplement to in-class instruction from a librarian. In 2010, with no opportunity to provide in-class instruction, one of the videos was redesigned and offered to assist students with the exercise. In both years, students were asked to provide feedback on the usefulness of the videos and their willingness to watch library tutorials in general. This study compares feedback from 2008 (533 respondents) to 2010 (850 respondents). The changes in circumstances had little effect on student attitudes towards this mode of teaching.

The Semantic Field of Modal Certainty: A Corpus-Based Study of English Adverbs

This book provides a detailed account of the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic properties of modal adverbs of certainty in present-day English. Methodologically it relies on three types of data: monolingual corpora, translation corpora and informant testing. It is the first study in which the semantic field of certainty as realised by English adverbs is explored.
Network Coding for Multicasting

A method for recovering viscous hydrocarbons from subterranean formations involves injecting a hydrocarbon solvent into the formation at spaced intervals to produce permeable regions or streaks in the formation. The injection is preferably directed to those regions of highest oil saturation, i.e., those regions with lowest effective permeability. A subsequent introduction of a heated fluid then will enable recovery of the viscous hydrocarbons in the treated regions and the untreated zones therebetween.
