A tape-pack carrier for a continuous loop tape cartridge comprises a hub for receiving the tape as a pack coiled therearound and to be mounted non-rotatively within the cartridge and an opening in the peripheral wall of the cartridge for the tape to be pulled through from the innermost turn of the pack causing the pack to rotate around the hub. A supporting means extends radially from the hub for supporting the tape pack over one side of the pack, particularly while the tape is being wound onto the hub. Cartridges into which the tape-pack carrier is non-rotatively fitted include guide means for guiding the tape along a fixed path from the innermost turn of the pack and back onto the pack as the outermost turn.

National EPI coverage survey report in Ethiopia, 2006

Abstract Background: Routine EPI reports have shown an upward trend in immunization coverage in recent years in Ethiopia, however, regional disparities exist. Objective: To determine regional coverage of child and TT immunization and assess reasons for not utilizing immunization services. Methods: The revised 2005 WHO-EPI regional coverage cluster survey method was used to determine the sample size for the study. Regional immunization status of 12-23 months of children and mothers with 0-11 months of infants for child immunization and TT immunization respectively were taken as the unit of analysis. A sample of 6,903 children between 12-23 months and 6,952 mothers with infants between 0-11 months from 468 clusters in 11 regions of the country were surveyed in June 2006. Results: The weighted national immunization coverage assessed by card plus history for children aged 12-23 months vaccinated before the age of one year was BCG 83.4%, DPT1 84.3%, DPT3 66.0%, measles 54.3%, and fully immunized children 49.9%. The weighted national TT2+ coverage and rate of Protection at Birth (PAB) assessed by card plus history was 75.6% and 63.0% respectively. Conclusion: The survey showed a 10 percentage point of increment in DPT3 coverage compared to 2001 survey coverage. However, progress was not uniform in all regions of the country. Despite the improvement in the access to immunization in the country, DPT3 coverage was less than 30% and dropout rate remained very high in three emerging regions. Effective behavioral change communication (BCC) strategies need to be designed and implemented to tackle high dropout rate in the program. Besides, health workers training program on interpersonal communication and Reaching Every District (RED) approach should be fully implemented to increase and sustain high level of immunization coverage in Ethiopia.

Nutrition knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors among Latinos in the USA: Influence of language

The objectives of this study are to: (a) assess Latino's nutrition knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and sources of nutrition information, and (b) examine the association of these with language use at home. Household‐to‐household interviews were conducted in five predominantly Latino neighborhoods in Hartford, Connecticut in households with at least one child ≤ 12 years of age. The typical Latina respondent was a woman in her early 30s who was the mother of at least one child living in the household (N = 426). The vast majority of Latinos were Puerto Rican (95.8%) and they spoke only Spanish (41.8%), only English (6.1%) or both English and Spanish (52.1%) at home. As many as 73.9% of respondents received food stamps and only 9.2% had more than high school education. Respondents were familiar with the USDA's Food Guide Pyramid (93.4%) and with food labels (93.7%). Fifteen percent knew the recommended servings for breads and cereals and 18.3% reported reading food labels always. Respondents had a positive nutrition attitude but lacked specific knowledge of terms such as “saturated fat” and “neural tube defects”, and were unable to identify good food sources of folate, calcium, and vitamin A. Friends/relatives, doctor, WIC, and television were the main sources of nutrition information. Speaking only Spanish at home (vs English or English and Spanish) was associated with nutrition knowledge and attitudes, and a more traditional pattern of food consumption.
Prevalência de maloclusão em escolares do município de Campinas, São Paulo

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence and types of malocclusion in schoolchildren in the municipality of Campinas, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Method: Six hundred and sixty schoolchildren at three schools in the municipality of Campinas were examined. The age bracket ranged from 6.5 up to18.1 years (mean ± s.d. = 12.2 ± 2.3 years) The intraoral clinical exams were performed by four duly trained and calibrated dentists, consisted of visual inspection using only disposable wooden spatulas and millimetric probes, performed in rooms provided by the schools, with good conditions of visibility and natural lighting. The criteria adopted for classifying normal and malocclusion were those stipulated by Andrews1, Angle2 and Maia3. Results: The data obtained indicated that there was no statistically significant difference between the genders. Malocclusion was found in 87.4% of the schoolchildren examined, in agreement with the majority of Brazilian and International studies. Class I malocclusion was the most prevalent (39.7%) among the schoolchildren examined, followed by Class II, with 36% of the cases, and there was higher prevalence of Class II division 1 (22.7%) in comparison with Class II division 2 (13.3%). Class III malocclusion was present in 11.7% of the sample. Conclusion: There is high prevalence of malocclusion, irrespective of gender, in the studied population of schoolchildren. The most prevalent malocclusion was Class I, followed by Class I division 1. Indexing terms: students; malocclusion; prevalence.

Barren in the Promised Land: Childless Americans and the Pursuit of Happiness

In a current medical news release, French researchers claim that normal human embryos can be obtained by the injection of round spermatids into oocytes. Authors believe that many patients with hitherto untreatable and unexplained azoospermia will be able to benefit from this new technique of assisted fertilization. 1 Thus, the new specialty of infertility continues its rapid advance since the astonishing announcement in 1978 of the birth of Baby Louise as a result of in vitro fertilization by Drs Patrick Steptoe and R. Edwards of England. 2 Judging from the title of Elaine Tyler May's Barren in the Promised Land: Childless Americans and the Pursuit of Happiness , and the fact that her father, Dr Ed Tyler, Jr, was a prominent pioneer and leader in infertility at his Los Angeles Tyler Clinic, where he launched his specialty in the early 1950s, I expected that her book would detail the rapid and
Racial and Ethnic Variations in Mental Health Care Utilization Among Children in Foster Care

Although children placed in foster care have an elevated need for mental health services, little is known about the extent to which their needs are met and the factors associated with their utilization of such services. In this study we examined racial and ethnic differences in caregiver-reported mental health service utilization rates among a sample of 659 youth ages 2-17 years in foster care. Results indicate that White American youth were significantly more likely to receive services compared to African American and Latino youth, even when the effects of possible confounding variables were controlled. Possible explanations and implications for racial and ethnic disparities in service utilization are discussed.

In this study, the molecular basis for the antiinflammatory property of IVIG was investigated in a murine model of ITP. Methods. ITP was induced in mice through the injection of an …
Production and physical composition of Priangan male sheep carcass supplemented by Pasak Bumi peptide (Eurycoma longifolia Jack).

Pasak Bumi ( Eurycoma longifolia Jack/ELJ) is frequently claimmed to increase expression of masculinity, including inducing the lean growth. This study was aimed to determine the effect of ELJ peptide supplementation on yield and physical composition of lamb carcasses. Sixteen Priangan rams about 1 year old with average weight of 30.43±1.41 kg were maintained in individual cages. The experimental rams were divided into 4 treatments i.e. T0, T1, T2, and T3. In T0, T1 and T2 treatments, the experimental rams were administered: 0, 1.5, and 3 mg ELJ peptide/kg BW, respectively. In the T3 treatment, the experimental ram were administered 1 mg/kg commercial product eurypeptide ® . The ELJ peptide and commercial product were administered first in the morning prior to feeding. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design of four treatments and four replications. Data were covariance analyzed with an empty body weight as covariate for carcass weight and the right carcass weight as covariate for carcasses physical composition. The results showed that the weights of dissection body fat of T2 and T3 were lower than T0 (P < 0.05) and T1 (P < 0.01). Fat weight reduction was found in all parts of the carcass and more apparent in the fore saddle. Lean weights were higher ( P < 0.05) in T3 and T2 as compared to T1 and T0. The pattern of lean weight differed among treatments in the wholesale cuts that follow the total lean weight eventhough it was not significant. ELJ peptide treatment did not significantly affect either bone weight or wholesale cuts weight. In conclusion, T2 and T3 can improve carcass composition with equal ability.

Speeding up Data Distribution of BitTorrent-Like P2P Systems

Data distribution is the basic behavior of P2P applications ( le sharing and stream- ing service) and it is a key element a ecting the performance of P2P systems. However, there are few research works that focus on data distribution of P2P applications from the view of whole system. In this paper we study the data distribution in P2P applications in terms of de- creasing the system distribution load. We de ne the distribution load of P2P systems formally and analyze how to decrease the system load quickly by means of mathematical analysis. More- over, we give a feasible fast distribution algorithm according to our theoretic conclusion. The experimental results show that our algorithm has signi cant improvement on data distribution speed and load balance.
Les îles Éparses : vingt-cinq ans de recherche sur les tortues marines

Depuis le milieu des annees 70, les activites de recherche sur les tortues marines des iles Eparses se sont developpees de maniere constante. Elles ont mis en evidence l’importance des quatre iles Eparses emergees (Europa, Juan de Nova, Glorieuses et Tromelin) qui font partie des principaux sites de ponte des tortues vertes (Chelonia mydas) de l’ocean Indien et qu’elles appartiennent a 2 stocks genetiques differents pour l’espece. Mais ces iles ne sont pas que des reservoirs de generations futures. Plus recemment, il a ete montre qu’elles sont egalement des habitats primordiaux pour le developpement des Tortues vertes et imbriquees (Eretmochelys imbricata) immatures qui y trouvent une protection contre les predateurs et de la nourriture. L’ensemble des programmes passes, presents et a venir, permettra d’avoir une vision regionale de l’etat de conservation et des risques potentiels pour les individus nidifiant dans ces iles et ainsi de contribuer a la mise en place d’un plan francais de conservation pour ces especes dans le sud-ouest de l’ocean Indien.
Verificação dos efeitos da Levodopa na deglutição de pacientes com doença de Parkinson

Purpose : To evaluate the effects of Levodopa on the swallowing of patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Methods : The study was carried out in the Pro-Parkinson Program of the Hospital das Clinicas of the Federal University of Pernambuco. Twenty patients with idiopathic PD and 12 normal subjects (control group) were studied. The surface Electromyography (sEMG) was recorded over the suprahyoid musculature during swallowing of 3 ml and 10 ml of water and yogurt. Each volume was repeated five times. This protocol was carried out on the group with PD before and after the medication, off and on periods, and on the control group, a single time. Results : The amplitude of the sEMG was significantly greater for subjects of the control group than for the patients with PD (off), regarding swallowing of each volume of water. The duration of the sEMG was significantly greater for the swallowing of 3 ml of water and yogurt in patients with PD (off). During the on phase, no significant differences were noted. Conclusion : The administration of Levodopa on patients with PD seems to influence the amplitude and duration of the sEMG of suprahyoid muscles, approximating the variables to the values of normalcy.
Prosedur Penelitian : Suatu Pendekatan Praktik

Buku ini menjadi suatu pegangan wajib bagi mahasiswa dan pemula yang akan melakukan penelitian. Buku ini memberikan gambaran yang jelas tentang langkah-langkah serta membahas semua aspek yang lazim dilakukan dalam penelitian. Membeli serta memiliki buku ini tidaklah menjadi suatu hal yang merugikan. Buku ini merupakan revisi dari buku Prosedur Penelitian Edisi Revisi VI. Pada revisi kali ini terdapat penambahan. Penambahan tersebut yaitu: Pertama: satu cara penelitian, yang semula hanya: operation research (action research) dan penelitian eksperimen (experimen research), penulis menambahkan satu cara penelitan lain yakni penelitian deskriptif (description research). Kedua, penambahan satu bab yang membahas tentang Penelitian Evaluatif. Penelitian evaluatif ini memang masih kurang populer, namun mempunyai keistimewaan yakni penelitian jenis ini dapat dilakukan untuk semua jenis program kegiatan dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan kualitas dari program yang dievaluasi. Selain itu buku ini disajikan dengan pendekatan praktik, artinya sesuai dengan kegiatan nyata yang dilakukan oleh peneliti di dalam praktik. Urutan penyajian dengan pemusatan perhatian yang dimulai dari Bab IV itulah yang sesuai dengan penelitian. Buku ini tidak dapat dipakai lepas dari buku-buku statistik dan evaluasi karena penelitian. Statistik dan evaluasi memang merupakan satu rumpun ilmu yang berhubungan dengan penelitian. Keterbatasan-keterbatasan yang ada pada penulis, terpaksa membatasi pengintegrasian ketiga bidang tersebut.
A Linear Multi-User Detector for STBC MC-CDMA Systems based on the Adaptive Implementation of the Minimum-Conditional Bit-Error-Rate Criterion and on Genetic Algorithm-assisted MMSE Channel Estimation

The implementation of efficient baseband receivers characterized by affordable computational load is a crucial point in the development of transmission systems exploiting diversity in different domains. In this paper, we are proposing a linear multi-user detector for MIMO MC-CDMA systems with Alamouti’s Space-Time Block Coding, inspired by the concept of Minimum Conditional Bit-Error-Rate (MCBER) and relying on Genetic-Algorithm (GA)-assisted MMSE channel estimation. The MCBER combiner has been implemented in adaptive way by using Least-Mean-Square (LMS) optimization. Firstly, we shall analyze the proposed adaptive MCBER MUD receiver with ideal knowledge of Channel Status Information (CSI). Afterwards, we shall consider the complete receiver structure, encompassing also the non-ideal GA-assisted channel estimation. Simulation results evidenced that the proposed MCBER receiver always outperforms state-of-the-art receiver schemes based on EGC and MMSE criterion exploiting the same degree of channel knowledge (i.e. ideal or estimated CSI).
Prevalence of protein - energy malnutrition in Maiduguri, Nigeria

Nutritional disorders are common in young children in developing countries and constitute a major public health problem. In this study, the relationship between the dietary pattern of malnourished children on hospital admissions to the socio economic and educational status of the parents was investigated in one hundred and twenty (70 male and 50 female) children (6 – 24months) at the paediatric wards of the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital and the State Specialist Hospital, Maiduguri, Nigeria. Laboratory findings showed all the children had one or more form of infections associated with PEM. (41.6%) had gastro-enteritis 26 (21.7%) malaria, 18 (15%) pneumonia, 8 (6.6%) measles, 6 (5.0%) Pulmonary TB, and 12 (10%) had associated iron-deficiency anaemia. The results indicated the prevalence of marasmus was highest in the age group of 6 to 12 months in both sexes (34.3% and 36% for males and females, respectively while Kwashiorkor was highest among the children in the 13 to 18 months age group in both males and females. The results did not show any statistically significant sex difference in the prevalence of PEM. Educational and socioeconomic status of parents (especially mothers) of the children bearing age showed that 80% of the mothers of the malnourished children had no formal education, 8.3% attended primary school, 1.7% had Islamic education only, while 10% had post-primary school education. None had higher education. The implications of these findings were discussed.
Nurse Physician Relations: A Qualitative Case Study in the Emergency Department of a Hospital in Ankara, Turkey

In this qualitative study, physician-nurse relationships are examined under the light of existing literature by focusing on conflicts and their solutions at work. The main purpose of the study is to understand and interpret social relationships in one hospital organization in Turkey. According to focus group discussions, there are not only gender-based conflicts among physicians and nurses, but there are also conflicts due to the personal, professional, economic and gender-based inequalities of society. Therefore, psychological, cultural and structural factors play an important role, as do organizational and professional issues in the process of physician-nurse working relationships. Although in this study female physician-female nurse conflict challenged existing findings, nurses’ interventions with respect to physicians’ treatments and, thereby, ability to control power distribution, are also to be considered challenging findings.
