The Whole “Kitten”-Caboodle: Perceived Differences in Veterinary and General Population Opinions Regarding Cat Behavior and Health

People’s attitudes towards animals are likely to impact their quality of care offered. Understanding perceptions of cats is important to identify potential cat welfare issues and to facilitate best care practices. An online survey was developed to gather information from 1172 U.S. residents on perceptions of cats and sources of cat welfare information. Demographic variables, information regarding respondents’ characterization, knowledge and beliefs of cats, their behavior, and welfare needs were collected. A subsample of cat owning households was surveyed regarding their opinions on cat behavior. Veterinarians were also surveyed to determine if they differed from general respondents in their views of and knowledge of cats and their care. The highest percentage of respondents in both groups identified veterinarians as the most accessible (52% veterinarian, 29% general public respondents) and most credible sources (veterinarians 76%, general public 29%) of information on cat behavior. In response to being asked about acceptable reasons to relinquish cats, more general respondents selected “convenience” (13% veterinarians, 3% general population). Several inconsistencies in perceptions and practices between and within members of the general public and veterinarians were observed. General respondents and veterinarians both indicated a lack of confidence in addressing behavioral issues in cats. Both groups disagreed that they (in the case of veterinarians) or their veterinarians provided useful resources on cat behavior or health. Opportunities exist for improvement in consistency between knowledge, attitudes and practices or services relative to cats. Improved competence and information transfer on both the behavioral and physical health aspects of cat welfare are also needed.
Using I.C.T. to promote Science in the World Around Us Curriculum

This investigation has been designed to determine the extent of science teaching in primary schools in Northern Ireland; and whether I.C. T. is a suitable method of promoting the teaching of science within the World Around Us curriculum. The context of this research is provided by an Education and Training Inspectorate (ETI) report, based on a survey carried out in January 2014 to evaluate the implementation of the World Around Us curriculum in primary schools. The main research questions for this investigation were: How much science is taught as part of the World Around Us curriculum What are the barriers, if any, to teaching science in primary school What is the role of I.C. T. in the promotion of science in the curriculum Could Fronter, a virtual learning environment, promote science in the curriculum? Questionnaires and interviews were undertaken in two schools in Newry, Northern Ireland. The researcher chose schools in two different settings in order to obtain a fairer representation and cross-section of school types and environment. Previous global studies correlate with the findings of this investigation, which show the main limiting factors for teaching additional science to be: · decline in the number of science specialist teachers, · lack of teacher confidence, · lack of resources · unsuitable topic choices Additionally it was found that the use of ‘ready-made’ Fronter courseware would be beneficial for the promotion of science in the World Around Us curriculum, although it was found that this may not be the best I.C. T. resource available. Further research could include investigating the methods for choosing topics within schools; the number and influence of science specialist teachers in primary schools; and other methods of delivering science through I.C. T.
Post-Traumatic Epilepsy: Review

Post traumatic epilepsy is defined by recurrent seizures secondary to brain injury following head trauma and represent the most frequent cause of epilepsy in young adults. Most post traumatic epilepsies start within two years from trauma, but in some cases may present several years after the brain injury. Severe traumatic brain injuries tend to correlate with an increased risk of developing early and late post-traumatic seizures. A cranial trauma creates a potentially epileptogenic brain damage through a number of different mechanisms. Several structural, physiological and biochemical modifications occur in a brain after a head injury that promote oxidative stress mechanisms and excitotoxic mechanisms. Current evidence shows that prophylactic use of antiepileptic drugs prevent the occurrence of early post-traumatic seizure but does not influence the incidence of post-traumatic epilepsy. Some authors propose treatment with antioxidant drugs in acute phase of severe traumatic brain injuries in order to prevent early tissue changes established in the traumatized tissue.
Land Use Classification With Point of Interests and Structural Patterns

In this paper, we present a framework for performing automatic analysis of Land Use Zones based on Location-Based Social Networks (LBSNs). We model city areas using a hierarchical structure of POIs extracted from foursquare. We encode such structures in kernel machines, e.g., Support Vector Machines, using a new Tree Kernel, i.e., the Hierarchical POI Kernel (HPK), which can take the importance of the individual POIs into account during the substructure matching. This way, HPK projects structures in the space of all their possible substructures such that each dimension corresponds to a semantic structural feature, weighted according to the discriminative power of POIs . We generated four different datasets for the following cities: Barcelona, Lisbon, Amsterdam and Milan, where we trained and tested our models. The results show that our approach largely outperforms previous work and standard baseline built on simple features, such as counts of different POIs. Finally, we apply a mining algorithm to extract the most relevant features (tree fragments) from the implicit TK space according to the weights the kernel machine assigned to them. Our approach can produce an explicit set of representative features that can be used to classify and characterize urban areas.
Determination of Resources Adequacy for Quality Assurance in Management of Secondary Schools in Enugu State

The decline in the quality of education received by secondary school students in Enugu State may be attributed to insufficient resources. This prompted the researcher to determine resources adequacy for quality assurance in the management of secondary schools in Enugu state. Two research questions guided the study. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprised 291 public secondary school principals in Enugu state. Cluster and stratified random sampling techniques were used to sample 130 principals for the study. The researcher-developed instrument titled ‘‘Resource Adequacy Checklist (RAC)’’ was used for data collection. The instrument was validated by three experts in Faculty of Education, Nnamdi Azikiwe University. Using Kappa coefficient for test of internal consistency, reliability indices of 0.76 and 0.77 were obtained for sections A to B respectively with an overall coefficient index of 0.76. The researcher together with five research assistants collected data for the study using direct administration method. A total of 126 out of the 130 copies of the instrument administered which is a 97% were retrieved. Ratio was utilized for the data analysis. The findings of the study revealed among others that non-teaching staff in secondary schools in Enugu state are inadequate. It was also found out that teaching staff in secondary schools in Enugu state are inadequate. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that Government should through mass media encourage parents, individuals and organization to support in recruitment of more teachers for quality assurance in schools.
Investigating the Relationship between Self-efficacy and Quality of Life in Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Chemical Therapy

Today cancer is considered as the second cause of mortality in developed countries and fourth cause in the developing communities.1 Moreover, breast cancer is the commonest among women and the most important death caused due to cancer in this gender. According to the global studies, the prevalence of cancer is about 12.5 % and it’s estimated almost one out of eight women suffers from this type of cancer.2 As the chronic nature of cancer, these patients have to deal with long-term treatments. There have been great achievements in breast cancer treatment which have led to better tumor reactions to treatments and higher survival rates; however, these treatments bring about side effects such as swollen lymph, weakness, pain, numbness, and psychological-social disorders which can reduce cancer patients’ abilities significantly.3 In another word, patients with breast cancer face with numerous physical, psychological, and social stressful situations and feel insecure about their future, as cancer will bring in many changes in their life style, family conditions, and their social situation. These women experience treatments such as chemical therapy, radiotherapy, and surgery while they have to challenge all their unfavorable side effects such as hair loss, nausea, and sexual problems. Long-term treatment will threat the ability of these women in playing their social roles, as a housewife, mother or daughter, or as a community work force. High level of stress has a negative long-term effect on their self-esteem which eventually imposes unfavorable effects on family performance, marital role and quality of life. Cancer affects patients’ quality of life in different degrees and they experience numerous challenges in the field of emotional performance during treatment and after it.4 Therefore, investigating on quality of life in these patients is considered and important therapeutic and care indicator over the world.5 For More than a decade, the topic “quality of life” has been considered as an important issue in healthcare services, especially in the field of chronic diseases.

Difference of Mortality and Morbidity Between Neonates in Adolescent Pregnancy and Young Adult Pregnancy

Adolescents are an important target population with close to half of the world's population that needs special attention because of their influence on the condition of health and well-being of society globally. Pregnancy in adolescents is one of the challenges in the health sector faced by all countries in the world including Indonesia. A retrospective cohort study was carried out in Department of Child Health Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung using secondary data and medical record with the aim of identifying neonatal morbidity and mortality born to adolescent mothers and young adults in RSHS from March-May 2018. Data was analyzed using logistic regression. Six hundred eighty-four neonates were studied, 306 born to adolescent mothers and 378 were born to young adult mothers. Logistic regression showed that neonates born to adolescent mothers are at a risk of experiencing stillbirth 2.7 times compared to neonates born to young adult mothers (RR 2.66 [95% CI: 1,402-5,047]) p = 0,002. The risk of neonates from adolescent mothers to experience low bith weight 1.25 times (RR: 1.25 [95% CI: 1.07-1.46]) p = 0.005, preterm infants 1.2 times (RR: 1.2 [95% CI: 1,200-1,502]) p = 0.008 and neonatal asphyxia 1.5 times (RR: 1.48 [95% CI: 1.15-1.91]) p = 0.002 compared to neonates of young adult mothers compared to neonates born to young adult mothers. Perinatal death and stillbirth, preterm infants, low birth weight, asphyxia in neonates born to adolescent mothers is higher than neonates born to young adult mothers.
The organisation of out-of-hours primary care in OECD countries

Out-of-hours (OOH) services provide urgent primary care when primary care physician (PCP) offices are closed, most often from 5pm on weekdays and all day on weekends and holidays. Based on a policy survey (covering 27 OECD countries) and the existing literature, the working paper describes the current challenges associated with the organisation of OOH primary care and reviews the existing models of delivering OOH primary care. The paper pays particular attention to policies which have been pursued to improve access and quality of OOH primary care. Findings of the paper show that most OECD health systems report key challenges to provide OOH primary care in an accessible and safe way. These challenges relate to (i) PCPs’ reluctance to practise due to high workload and insufficient remuneration; and (ii) geographical variations in access to OOH primary care within each health system. Together these challenges are leading sources of inappropriate hospital emergency department (ED) visits. Results also indicate that several models of OOH primary care exist alongside each other in the 27 OECD countries participating in the policy survey. Hospital EDs, rota groups and practice-based services remain the most common OOH arrangements, but there is a tendency to shift OOH primary care towards primary care centres and large-scale organisations known as general practice cooperatives (GPCs). A range of solutions have been implemented to improve access and quality of OOH primary care across OECD countries. These include providing organisational and financial support to PCPs; using other health care professionals (such as nurse practitioners), making OOH care participation compulsory, setting up a telephone triage system, using new technologies, and developing rich information systems.
Analysis of temporal patterns in animal movement networks

Understanding how animal movements change across space and time is a fundamental question in ecology. While classical analyses of trajectories give insightful descriptors of spatial patterns, a satisfying method for assessing the temporal succession of such patterns is lacking. Network analyses are increasingly used to capture properties of complex animal trajectories in simple graphical metrics. Here, building on this approach, we introduce a method that incorporates time into movement network analyses based on temporal sequences of network motifs. We illustrate our method using four example trajectories (bumblebee, black kite, roe deer, wolf) collected with different technologies (harmonic radar, platform terminal transmitter, global positioning system). First, we transformed each trajectory into a spatial network by defining the animal's coordinates as nodes and movements in between as edges. Second, we extracted temporal sequences of network motifs from each movement network and compared the resulting behavioural profiles to topological features of the original trajectory. Finally, we compared each sequence of motifs with simulated Brownian and Lévy random motions to statistically determine differences between trajectories and classical movement models. Our analysis of the temporal sequences of network motifs in individual movement networks revealed successions of spatial patterns corresponding to changes in behavioural modes that can be attributed to specific spatio‐temporal events of each animal trajectory. Future applications of our method to multi‐layered movement and social network analysis yield considerable promises for extending the study of complex movement patterns at the population level.
Multi-objective mixed-integer evolutionary algorithms for building spatial design

Multi-objective evolutionary computation aims to find high quality (Pareto optimal) solutions that represent the trade-off between multiple objectives. Within this field there are a number of key challenges. Among others, this includes constraint handling and the exploration of mixed-integer search spaces. This thesis investigates how these challenges can be handled at the same time, and in particular how they can be applied in the multi-objective optimisation algorithms. These algorithms are developed in the context of the optimisation of building spatial designs, which describe the exterior shape of a building, and the internal division into different spaces. Spatial designs are developed early in the design process, and thus have a large impact on the final building design, and in turn also on the quality of the building. Here the structural and thermal performance of a building are optimised to reduce resource consumption. The main contributions of this thesis are as follows. Firstly, a representation for building spatial designs in is introduced. Secondly, specialised search operators are designed to ensure only feasible solutions will be explored. Thirdly, data about the discovered solutions is analysed to explain the results to domain experts. Finally, a general purpose multi-objective mixed-integer evolutionary algorithm is developed.
EARLY VERSES DELAYED PRIMARY INTERLOCKING NAILING IN COMPOUND 3B TIBIA F RACTURES: A STUDY OF 100 CASES

Orthopedic trauma involving leg constitutes one of the commonly involved practice by every surgeon. With the advent of increasing motor vehicle accidents the practice is increasing day by day. The injury ranges from closed to open and may extend to degloving of skin. Fracture pattern may include simple to comminuted and may involved segmental fracture patterns. The study involves analysis of 100 cases presented with compound 3b tibia fracture between Feb. 2013 to Dec. 2013. Degloving injuries and segmental tibia fractures are being excluded from study. Patients were followed for about 1 yr postoperatively. The results are evaluated and analysed in terms of early and delayed complications and functional results of procedure. The results shows favourable outcome in cases operated early usually within 12 hrs. , of injury. The chief reason being the break in microbial exponential growth due to early debridement and closure of soft tissue defects. Repeated debridement can be beneficial but persistant open wounds predispose to added infections and has chances of increased soft tissue loss with time.

Effectiveness of Childbirth Education on Nulliparous Women’s Knowledge of Childbirth Preparation, Pregnancy Anxiety and Pregnancy Outcomes

Background: The emerging number of cesarean sections among nulliparous women due to high pregnancy-related anxiety is a major concern of maternity care providers. Childbirth preparations enable women to cope with pregnancy anxiety and enhance pregnancy outcomes. Limited studies evaluated the impact of childbirth educational interventions on pregnancy-specific anxiety and pregnancy outcomes. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of childbirth educational intervention on nulliparous women’s knowledge on childbirth preparation, pregnancy anxiety, and pregnancy outcomes. Methods: A randomized controlled trial approach with a two-group pretest/ posttest design was used among hundred nulliparous third trimester pregnant women. All participants were pretested for their knowledge on childbirth preparation and pregnancy anxiety level using knowledge questionnaire, state trait anxiety inventory, and pregnancy-specific anxiety inventory. The experimental group (n = 50) received three sessions of childbirth education. All participants were post- tested before delivery, and their pregnancy outcomes were noted from labor records. Data were collected from a major maternity hospital in Kerala, India. GLM repeated measures analysis and paired t-test were used for data analysis. Results: The experimental group demonstrated a significantly higher level of knowledge on childbirth preparation (P < 0.001), with high reported mean knowledge scores of (54.30 ± 3.86) childbirth preparation than the control group (31.08 ± 1.96). A lower mean scores of pregnancy-specific anxiety among experimental group (102 ± 4.65) (P < 0.001) compared to control group (139.96 ± 4.9) signifies the relevance of childbirth education in reducing pregnancy-specific anxiety. Significant reductions of caesarean birth (50%) among nulliparous women along with a 12% increase in newborn’s birth weights were the main positive birth outcomes. Conclusions: Childbirth education significantly reduced pregnancy-specific anxiety and the adverse pregnancy outcomes. The emerging number of cesarean sections on maternal request due to childbirth anxiety could be reduced by empowering nulliparous women through childbirth education.
