Sexual behaviour in male patients with genital ulcers attending dermatology outpatient department and sexually transmitted infections clinic

Objective To analyze the sexual behaviour of male patients with genital ulcer disease (GUD) - both sexually acquired or transmitted (STU) and non-sexually transmitted ulcers (non-STU). Methods Male patients presenting with genital ulcer(s) to Dermatology out-patient department and sexually transmitted infections (STI) clinic of a tertiary care centre of eastern India were subjected to a pretested open-ended questionnaire. Illiterate patients were interviewed and their response was recorded. The study was conducted over a period of one year and at the end of study period, data was analyzed. A total of 110 patients were included in study for analysis and relative incidence rate of male genital ulcers (MGU) was found to be 4.88 per 1000. Results A total of 110 patients were included in study for analysis and relative incidence rate of MGU was 4.88 per 1000. Majority of MGU (65.4%) was contributed by non-STU. Positive history of sexual exposure was found in around 53.1%, 97.4% and 22.2% of MGU, STU and non-STU patients, respectively. Mean number of partners was more in cases of STU and majority of the sex partners were commercial sex worker (CSW), (69.5%, 78.9%, and 68.7% in MGU, STU, and non-STU, respectively). Knowledge of condoms and its protective role in STI was found in 68.5%, 56.4%, and 75% in MGU, STU and non-STU patients, respectively. It was significantly higher in non-STU group. Irregular use of condom was found in a large number of patients (25.23%, 48.72%, and 12.5% in MGU, STU, and non-STU, respectively). Of note, irregular use of condom was found in a significant higher number of STU patients. Conclusion Non-STU was responsible for majority of GUD in our study. History of sexual exposure and sex with high risk group (CSW) was noted in both STU as well as non-STU. Hence, high risk sexual behaviour alone should not bias us towards the diagnosis of STU. Awareness of protective benefits of condoms against STI/ HIV is high, but it does not necessarily lead to consistent use of condoms.
Patient Decision Making in the Choice of a Referral Hospital in Hospital of Subulussalam City in 2018

The choice of referral hospital from Hospital of Subulussalam City based on a preliminary survey is varies. Inpatients are referred to Class A hospitals are on average 65%, Class B hospitals are 30%, and Class C hospitals are 5%, while outpatients are referred to Class A hospitals are on average 49%, Class B hospitals are 28%, class C hospitals are 23%. This type of research is qualitative with a phenomenological approach obtained by conducting in-depth interviews with 13 informants consisting of 3 specialist doctors, 3 general practitioners, 3 patients, 3 patient's family and 1 BPJS verifier in Hospital of Subulussalam City. The study was conducted from February to October 2018. The results showed that during the referral hospital decision-making process there was an interaction between the doctor, the patient and the patient's family, the final decision was on the patient and bearing down the consequences if the hospital's choice was not recommended by the doctor. The determinants of decision making for referral hospitals consist of perceived quality in the form of referral hospitals accepting patients referred from Hospital of Subulussalam City, emergency conditions for patients by choosing the closest hospital, facilities in the form of supporting tests and complete medical devices and additional facilities, the availability of specialist doctors and subspecialty according to the patient's condition, geographical constraints due to the long distance to the referral hospital, references from doctors to patients and vice versa, learning in the form of doctor and patient experience in the previous referral process, not all doctors consider peer relations to be a determinant of choosing a referral hospital due to the BPJS system, social factors in the form of a family in the area of ​​a referral hospital, the same religion and culture as a patient in a referral hospital area make the patient feel comfortable. Suggestions in this study is the management of Hospital of Subulussalam City to confirm and coordinate the referral hospital and make a referral MOU.
A Bilateral Double Sternalis Muscle in a Korean Cadaver

cadavers, an overall of around 7.8% (7.5% in male, 8.6% in fe-male) in the general population. Prevalence does race, the in the Asian population The reported prevalence within Korean cadavers ranges 5% to 12.9% (13/101) Clinical re-A Abstract : Although the sternalis muscle has been well known to anatomists, it is quite unfamiliar to clinicians. During routine educational dissection, we came across a well-defined bilateral double sternalis muscle innervated by the intercostal nerve, respectively. The right sternalis muscle 1) became tendinous to insert into the sternum and 2) crossed midline and then intermingled with the left pectoralis major muscle, which could be classified into a double with single cross based on Snosek et al.’s criteria. The left sternalis muscle was composed of two bellies, which were combined at the midway, and became tendinous to insert into the contralateral manubrium, which could be classified into a bicipital diverging with double cross based on Snosek et al.’s criteria. The detailed knowledge on the sternalisis is important for clinicians as well as for anatomists, since the clinical importance of the sternalis muscle has been highlighted in recent years.
Context Aware Energy Disaggregation Using Adaptive Bidirectional LSTM Models

Energy disaggregation, or Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM), describes various processes aiming to identify the individual contribution of appliances, given the aggregate power signal. In this paper, a non-causal adaptive context-aware bidirectional deep learning model for energy disaggregation is introduced. The proposed model, CoBiLSTM, harnesses the representational power of deep recurrent Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural networks, while fitting two basic properties of NILM problem which state of the art methods do not appropriately account for: non-causality and adaptivity to contextual factors (e.g., seasonality). A Bayesian-optimized framework is introduced to select the best configuration of the proposed regression model, driven by a self-training adaptive mechanism. Furthermore, the proposed model is structured in a modular way to address multi-dimensionality issues that arise when the number of appliances increases. Experimental results indicate the proposed method’s superiority compared to the current state of the art.

The Effect of Parental Economic Expectation on Gender Disparity in Secondary Education in Ghana: A Propensity Score Matching Approach

Ghana, like most sub-Saharan African countries, continues to face gender disparity at the higher levels of the educational hierarchy. This paper seeks to investigate whether gender disparity in senior secondary schools in Ghana is influenced by the economic expectations that parents have for their children’s education. Using data from Ghana Living Standard Survey round 6 (GLSS 6), the study employs Propensity Score Matching in its analysis. Intra-household income inequality was used as a for measure parental expectations of the economic returns of education. The results revealed that, on the average, Ghanaian parents expect their male children to reap more economic benefits from education than girls. This attitude culminates in higher investment in boys’ education to the disadvantage of their female counterparts at senior secondary schools. It is therefore recommended that appropriate policies should be implemented to ensure that the barriers that prevent women from occupying high-earning positions in the labor market are expunged. With this, parents will believe that girls can have the same economic opportunities as boys and hence will invest equal resources in children’s education irrespective of their gender.
Smooth adaptive hybrid impedance control for robotic contact force tracking in dynamic environments

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to take transient contact force response, overshoots and steady-state force tracking error problems into account to form an excellent force controller. Design/methodology/approach The basic impedance function with a pre-PID tuner is designed to improve the force response. A dynamic adaptive adjustment function that combines the advantages of hybrid impedance and adaptive hybrid impedance control is presented to achieve both force overshoots suppressing and tracking ability. Findings The introduced pre-PID tuner impedance function can achieve more than the pure impedance function in aspects of converging to the desired value and reducing the force overshoots. The performance of force overshoots suppression and force tracking error are maintained by introducing the dynamic adaptive sigma adjustment function. The simulation and experimental results both show the achieved control performance by comparing with the previous control methods. Practical implications The implementation of the controller is easy and convenient in practical manufacture scenes that require force control using industrial robots. Originality/value A superior robot controller adapting to a variety of complex tasks owing to the following characteristics: maintenance of high-accuracy position tracking capability in free-space (basic capabilities of modern industrial robots); maintenance of high speed, stability and smooth contact performance in collision stage; and presentation of high-precision force tracking capability in steady contact.

ANTIFUNGAL EFFECT OF PHOTOCATALYTIC NANO -TITANIUM DIOXIDE INCORPORATED IN SILICONE ELASTOMER:

INTRODUCTION: Titanium dioxide nanoparticles may improve the antifungal properties of silicone elastomer prosthetic materials. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the photocatalytic antifungal activity of silicone elastomer incorporated with titanium dioxide nanoparticles against Candida albicans. MATERIALS AND METHODS Titanium dioxide nano-particles (Aeroxide® TiO2 P25, Sigma Aldrich, USA) were characterized using xray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), uv-vis spectrophotometeric analysis, methylene blue degradation efficiency test and direct contact test. Sixty six disc shaped specimens (6 mm diameter x 1mm thickness) of silicone elastomer (SE) (MED-4210, Factor II, USA) were included and divided into 6 groups based on the concentration of nano-TiO2 in silicone elastomer (0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%) (W/W). Impregnated culture test was used to evaluate the antifungal activity of all SE samples against candida albicans as colonies forming units (CFUs) of treated aqueous suspension of candida albicans were measured at 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 min follow‑up under UVA light. The dispersion of TiO2 within SE matrix was analysed by Laser scanning microscopy (LSM). RESULTS: Data were analysed using ANOVA test and Tuckey's Post Hoc test. Nano-TiO2 characterization tests confirmed the crystalline structure (85% anatase and 15% rutile), shape (irregular faceted), size (22nm), absorption spectrum (320-400nm) and the photocatalytic antifungal ability of the as-purchased Aeroxide TiO2 P25. Planktonic cultures of candida albicans exposed to SE/TiO2 samples reduced candida albicans count by 4% - 99.99%, depending on the nanoparticles concentration and follow-up time. The candida albicans counts did not decrease in group I without TiO2. LSM of SE specimens showed finer dispersion of TiO2 within SE matrix in group II, III and IV than that in group V and VI. CONCLUSIONS: Incorporation of TiO2 P25 within SE (MED-4210) shows promising inhibitory activity against candida albicans.
Depression among patients with diabetes: A community-based study in South India

Background: Depression is one of the more common mental health conditions found among people suffering from chronic diseases. Its presence in patients with type 2 diabetes could hinder the adherence to and effectiveness of treatment. Most studies on depression among patients with diabetes are hospital-based suggesting the need for a community-based study to assess the correlates of depression among patients with diabetes. Aim: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and to identify the factors influencing depression among patients with type 2 diabetes in Udupi taluk situated in southern India. Subjects and Methods: This study recruited 200 patients with type 2 diabetes from both rural and urban areas. Demographic, clinical, and diabetes-related information were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire. Depression was assessed using Patient Health Questionnaire-9; a standardized questionnaire developed in the United States of America and validated in the Indian population. Results: The prevalence of depression among patients with diabetes in the community was found to be 37.5%. Most frequently, depression was mild (42, 21%) in nature with severe depression (9, 4.5%) seen the least. Several factors were found to be positively associated with depression including female gender, rural residence, unemployment, and the status of being unmarried. The presence of diabetic complications and other chronic diseases such as hypertension and obesity also were found to be associated with depression. Conclusion: Depression was found to be particularly high among the study population. Since depression could significantly hinder patient's adherence to treatment, there is an urgent need for early diagnosis and treatment. This calls for the integration of mental health care into the management of diabetes.
Ethnographic studies in international human resource management: Types and usefulness

This article provides a first conceptual discussion of the usefulness of ethnography for International Human Resource Management. In line with its original anthropological meaning, ethnography is understood as a multi-paradigmatic mindset involving five interrelated strands, all of which have the potential to contribute to International Human Resource Management studies. Structural-functionalist ethnography enables deep comparison and can thus contribute, for instance, to meeting the structural and institutional integration challenges of International Human Resource Management. Interpretive ethnography sheds light onto the hidden realities of International Human Resource Management and can thus help, for example, to acknowledge the diversity of employee and stakeholder experiences. Critical, postmodern, and postcolonial ethnography reveal the power-inequalities associated with diverse frameworks, practices, and work experiences in a global context. They can thus help overcome the inherent power-inequalities of International Human Resource Management and might utilize previously marginalized knowledge for the development of alternative International Human Resource Management strategies and practices. Yet, leveraging the full potential of ethnography for International Human Resource Management studies requires International Human Resource Management scholars not to borrow pre-selected ethnographic approaches, such as interpretive ethnography, from related disciplines, such as International Business and Cross-Cultural Management, because these might not fit the specific needs of International Human Resource Management. For facilitating this goal, this article provides a first multi-paradigmatic discussion of the development and principles of ethnography in anthropology, and its present and potential contributions to International Human Resource Management studies. It is not a guide of how to do ethnography, but a roadmap enabling future International Human Resource Management researchers to choose their ethnographic research strategy consciously, reflexively, and as their research interest demands for.
Food hygiene practice among mothers and its association with occurrence of diarrhea in under-five children in selected rural community area

Background: Diarrhea is the condition of having at least three loose or liquid bowel movements each day. Diarrhea is the main cause of death among under-five children in India. It often lasts for a few days and can result in dehydration due to fluid loss. Mothers basic knowledge of diarrhea depends on various factors such as educational status, prior experience of managing the disease, and food hygiene. Diarrheal diseases remain an important cause of mortality and morbidity among children, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Objective: The main aim is to measure the food hygiene practice among mothers and occurrence of diarrhea in under-five children. Materials and Methods: A non-experimental descriptive research design was conducted among 186 under-five children, mothers were selected using convenient sampling technique who fulfill inclusion criteria from the rural area of Doiwala block. Information was collected with the help of structure questionnaire on child feeding hygiene practice and practice checklist on food hygiene. Ethical permission and written consent were taken from the ethical committee of university and participants. Results: The research finding highlights that less than half of mothers (44.6%) use bowel spoon for feeding to their child. Majority of mothers (84.9%) wash his child hand with soap. Most of the mothers (74.2%) were not wash vegetables after cutting. Only 63% had check expiry of the food material before giving it to the child. Most of mothers (97.3%) wash hand of child before eating food. Nearby 38.2% of children had diarrhea in the past 6 months due to the unhygienic food practice. Conclusion: The investigator observed that there is a need to improved food hygiene practice among under 5-year children mothers because diarrhea is directly related to unhygienic food condition. The under-five children are totally depend on the mothers. If mothers will not improve food hygiene practice, then children will suffer from the diarrhea disease again and again.
Assessment of changes in concentrations of selected criteria pollutants in the Vaal and Highveld Priority Areas

Ambient air pollution has important impacts on a variety of environmental issues, particularly on human health and ecosystem processes. A key tool for understanding the impacts of atmospheric pollution is through the long term measurement of the ambient concentrations of criteria atmospheric pollutants. Monitoring of ambient pollution concentrations has been conducted in the National Air Quality Priority areas since 2009. During this time period, significant changes in the management of air pollution have occurred, including the adoption of the ambient air quality standards, and the implementation of section 21 emission standards. This paper examines the long term evolution of ambient concentrations for PM, SO2 in the Vaal Triangle Airshed Priority Area 2007-2017 and Highveld Priority Area. These trends will be evaluated against the implementation of management interventions and highlight the variation in the measured concentrations and emerging areas of concern.
Primary Brain Tumor Research Productivity in Southeast Asia and Its Association With Socioeconomic Determinants and Burden of Disease

Background There is an unmet need to assess research productivity from southeast Asia (SEA) regarding primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors. The country’s economy, landscape of neurology practice, and disease burden are hypothesized to correlate with scientific output. This study aimed to objectively measure the impact of published studies on primary brain tumors in SEA and to assess for correlation with socioeconomic determinants and burden of disease. Methods We systematically searched electronic databases for relevant articles from SEA on primary CNS tumor until July 31, 2020. Bibliometric indices were reported and subjected to correlational analysis with population size, gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, percentage (%) GDP for research and development (R&D), total number of neurologists, disease incidence, deaths, and disability-adjusted life years. Results A total of 549 articles were included, consisting primarily of case reports (n=187, 34.06%) and discussed gliomas (n=195, 35.52%). Singapore published the most number of the articles (n=246, 44.8%). Statistical analysis showed a positive correlation between %GDP for R&D and total publication. Additionally, negative relationships were noted between burden of disease and total neurologist with most bibliometric indices. However, GDP per capita was not correlated with measures for research productivity. Conclusion The low impact of scientific output on primary CNS tumors in SEA does not address the growing epidemiology and burden of this disease. An increase in the GDP growth and financial and manpower investment to R&D may significantly improve research productivity in SEA.
