Nurses’ Attitude Towered Communicating Female Sexuality issues: A Road-Map for Better Communication in Nursing Practice

Background: Nursing as a holistic practice, discuss all dimension of human health including sexuality to identify any alteration of health. Aim: This study aims to explore nurse’s attitude towered communicate female sexuality issues. Subjects and Methods: A descriptive correctional research design was used to achieve the aim of the study. Sample: A purposive sample of 200 nurses working in different setting at teaching hospital affiliated to Cairo University was participated in this study. Tools: Data were collected through utilizing structured interviewing questionnaire tool and sexuality attitudes and beliefs Survey (SABS) tool. Results: The age range of the study samples ranged from > 30 and > 50 years (75 %) were diploma nurses. (50 %) have more than nine years' experience, (65 %) were married, (81 %) was staff nurse, The mean SABS scores varied from (3.14 to 4.70); 77.7% of the study sample viewed that sexuality as too private issue to discuss, 65.8 % agreed that they do not make time to discuss sexual issues, 63.4% of them assume that most hospitalized patients are too sick to be interested. Moreover, 74.8% reported work place limitation (72.8%) or sexuality care not being part of nursing routine work (68.3%). Years of experience, type of setting, educational level and marital status were statistically significant factors affecting communicating female sexuality issues in practice ( p= <0.05) . Conclusion and recommendation: Sexuality is a basic human right and fundamental part for quality of life and there are certain beliefs and attitude can affects nurses to communicate sexual issues in nursing practice so, Sexual education is needed in basic nursing education to equip nurses with the relevant knowledge and competent to discuss sexuality issues for women.

Polarization of Strong Ground Motions: Insights from Broadband

12 We perform an extensive study of the largest aftershock of the Mw6.3 2009 L’Aquila, Italy, 13 earthquake, based on low-frequency inversion and broadband simulation of strong-motion data. The 14 Mw5.4 aftershock occurred on 7th April at 17:47:37 UTC at 15km depth and it was recorded by 33 15 permanent and temporal accelerometric stations located within 50km from the epicenter. We carry 16 out inversion of low-frequency (0.1-0.5 Hz) data for centroid moment tensor and simple finite-fault 17 model. The event ruptured a 6x6km normal fault dipping NE at 60 degrees, antithetic to the 18 causative fault of L’Aquila mainshock. We build a broadband (0.1-10Hz) composite source model 19 with fractal number-size distribution of overlapping subsources on the identified fault. Full20 wavefield synthetic Green’s functions are calculated in 1D layered media in the full (0.1-10Hz) 21 frequency range, assuming shallow site-specific velocity profiles, wherever available, and a generic 22 profile for rock stations. At stations with weak site effects, the fit between synthetic and observed 23 data is generally good both in time and Fourier spectral domains. Comparison of observed and 24 synthetic data in terms of S-wave group polarization at high frequencies reveals a particular 25 Manuscript Click here to download Manuscript: LAquila-aftershock-v2-08_edited. docx
Integrated Assessment in a Multi-region World with Multiple Energy Sources and Endogenous Technical Change

Preliminary: not ready for circulation We construct an integrated assessment model with multiple energy sources– including fossil fuels and “green energy”– and multiple world regions. The energy sources are imperfect substitutes and their production involve structures that are endogenous. In particular, firms can decide to lower the marginal cost of producing one form of energy at the expense of the marginal costs of other energy sources: there is directed technical change. In the lowering of these marginal costs, there are also spillovers, which are international. We analyze how (potentially region-specific) taxes affect output and the climate with and without the endogeneity of technology. We emphasize the second-best nature of taxation when optimal world-wide technology subsidies are not implemented.
Translation, Validity and Reliability of Evaluation Process within Supervisory Inventory (EPSI) among Trainee Counselors in Public Universities in Malaysia

This study is carried out to translate the Evaluation Process Within Supervisory Inventory (EPSI) from English version to Malay language, then to test validity and reliability of the instrument. This EPSI is developed by Lehrman-Waterman & Ladany (2001) to measure the perception and experience of the trainee counselor towards the evaluation process in the clinical supervision. The translation procedure in this study uses the back-to-back translation method with the appointment of six experts from the counseling field. All these experts are proficient and fluent in both languages based on the local values and culture. The first phase involves three experts translating the EPSI into Malay language, whereas the rest of the experts retranslated the instrument back to English. For content validity, the EPSI already translated in Malay language is sent to the three other experts in the field for the evaluation of the item content and the sub-scale used in the instrument. The result indicates the coefficient value of content validity obtained for each item is high with maximum value =. 933 and minimum value =. 767, while the coefficient value for each sub scale also high with goal setting =. 890 and feedback =. 883. Finally, the reliability value of EPSI in the pilot study for goal setting ? =. 958 and feedback ? =955; whereas in the actual study, for goal setting ? =. 846 and feedback ? =. 840 respectively. These values indicate that EPSI is a consistent instrument. In conclusion, other than successfully translating the Evaluation Process within Supervisory Inventory into the local context, this study also proves that the instrument also has good validity and reliability. Hence, it can benefit and applicable for Malaysian trainee counselors.
On natural and probabilisic effects during acquisition of morphophonemic alternations

The acquisition of phonological alternations consists of many aspects as discussions in the relevant literature show. There are contrary findings about the role of naturalness. A natural process is grounded in phonetics; they are easy to learn, even in second language acquisition when adults have to learn certain processes that do not occur in their native language. There is also evidence that unnatural – arbitrary – rules can be learned. Current work on the acquisition of morphophonemic alternations suggests that their probability of occurrence is a crucial factor in acquisition. I have conducted an experiment to investigate the effects of naturalness as well as of probability of occurrence with 80 adult native speakers of German. It uses the Artificial Grammar paradigm: Two artificial languages were constructed, each with a particular alternation. In one language the alternation is natural (vowel harmony); in the other language the alternation is arbitrary (a vowel alternation depends on the sonorancy of the first consonant of the stem). The participants were divided in two groups, one group listened to the natural alternation and the other group listened to the unnatural alternation. Each group was divided into two subgroups. One subgroup then was presented with material in which the alternation occurred frequently and the other subgroup was presented with material in which the alternation occurred infrequently. After this exposure phase every participant was asked to produce new words during the test phase. Knowledge about the language-specific alternation pattern was needed to produce the forms correctly as the phonological contexts demanded certain alternants. The group performances have been compared with respect to the effects of naturalness and probability of occurrence. The natural rule was learned more easily than the unnatural one. Frequently presented rules were not learned more easily than the ones that were presented less frequently. Moreover, participants did not learn the unnatural rule at all, whether this rule was presented frequently or infrequently did not matter. There was a tendency that the natural rule was learned more easily if presented frequently than if presented infrequently, but it was not significant due to variability across participants.
Oceanic CO2 outgassing and biological production hotspots induced by pre-industrial river loads of nutrients and carbon in a global modeling approach

Abstract. Rivers are a major source of nutrients, carbon and alkalinity to the global ocean. In this study, we firstly estimate pre-industrial riverine loads of nutrients, carbon and alkalinity based on a hierarchy of weathering and terrestrial organic matter export models, while identifying regional hotspots of the riverine exports. Secondly, we implement the riverine loads into a global ocean biogeochemical model to describe their implications for oceanic nutrient concentrations, net primary production (NPP) and air–sea CO2 fluxes globally, as well as in an analysis of coastal regions. Thirdly, we quantitatively assess the terrestrial origins and the long-term fate of riverine carbon in the ocean. We quantify annual bioavailable pre-industrial riverine loads of 3.7 Tg P, 27 Tg N, 158 Tg Si and 603 Tg C delivered to the ocean globally. We thereby identify the tropical Atlantic catchments (20 % of global C), Arctic rivers (9 % of global C) and Southeast Asian rivers (15 % of global C) as dominant suppliers of carbon for the ocean. The riverine exports lead to a simulated net global oceanic CO2 source of 231 Tg C yr −1 to the atmosphere, which is mainly caused by inorganic carbon (source of 183 Tg C yr −1 ) and by organic carbon (source of 128 Tg C yr −1 ) riverine loads. Additionally, a sink of 80 Tg C yr −1 is caused by the enhancement of the biological carbon uptake from dissolved inorganic nutrient inputs from rivers and the resulting alkalinity production. While large outgassing fluxes are simulated mostly in proximity to major river mouths, substantial outgassing fluxes can be found further offshore, most prominently in the tropical Atlantic. Furthermore, we find evidence for the interhemispheric transfer of carbon in the model; we detect a larger relative outgassing flux (49 % of global riverine-induced outgassing) in the Southern Hemisphere in comparison to the hemisphere's relative riverine inputs (33 % of global C inputs), as well as an outgassing flux of 17 Tg C yr −1 in the Southern Ocean. The addition of riverine loads in the model leads to a strong NPP increase in the tropical west Atlantic, Bay of Bengal and the East China Sea ( + 166 %, + 377 % and + 71 %, respectively). On the light-limited Arctic shelves, the NPP is not strongly sensitive to riverine loads, but the CO2 flux is strongly altered regionally due to substantial dissolved inorganic and organic carbon supplies to the region. While our study confirms that the ocean circulation remains the main driver for biogeochemical distributions in the open ocean, it reveals the necessity to consider riverine inputs for the representation of heterogeneous features in the coastal ocean and to represent riverine-induced pre-industrial carbon outgassing in the ocean. It also underlines the need to consider long-term CO2 sources from volcanic and shale oxidation fluxes in order to close the framework's atmospheric carbon budget.
Smart Regularization of Deep Architectures

In this thesis I explored two “smart” regularization approaches for deep neural networks. The first one was about Spike and Slab priors; they provide a principled way of removing parameters from a model, thus leading to improved generalization. This greatly helps to combat overfitting, particularly on datasets where the number of instances is far less than the number of features. The second one was about “Invariant Representations”. The purpose here was to describe the generation of the data in such a way such that some “sensitive” or “irrelevant” observed factors of variation are “removed”. In other words, we transform the data to a new representation that fulfills two criteria: it is maximally informative about an observed random variable (e.g., class label) and minimally informative about the “sensitive” or “irrelevant” variables. This inductive bias would in turn better regularize the network and provide representations that are more appropriate for tasks such as Domain Adaptation or “Fair” Classification. The validity of both approaches is confirmed through extensive experimentation.
A Simple Theoretical Model Explains Dynein’s Response to Load

Recent experiment showed that cytoplasmic dynein 1, a molecular motor responsible for cargo transport in cells, functions as a gear in response to external load. In the presence of vanishing or small external load, dynein walks with 24or 32nm steps, whereas at high external load, its step size is reduced to 8 nm. A simple model is proposed to account for this property of dynein. The model assumes that the chemical energy of ATP hydrolysis is used through a loose coupling between the chemical reaction and the translocation of dynein along microtubule. This loose chemomechanical coupling is represented by the loosely coupled motions of dynein along two different reaction coordinates. The first reaction coordinate is tightly coupled to the chemical reaction and describes the protein conformational changes that control the chemical processes, including ATP binding and hydrolysis, and ADP-Pi release. The second coordinate describes the translocation of dynein along microtubule, which is directly subject to the influence of the external load. The model is used to explain the experimental data on the external force dependence of the dynein step size as well as the ATP concentration dependence of the stall force. A number of predictions, such as the external force dependence of speed of translocation, ATP hydrolysis rate, and dynein step sizes, are made based on this theoretical model. This model provides a simple understanding on how a variable chemomechanical coupling ratio can be achieved and used to optimize the biological function of dynein.
Linking Achievement Goal Theory to Adaptive Outcomes in an Undergraduate Major

Achievement Goal Theory has emerged as one of the prominent frameworks for understanding why students engage in successful achievement behaviors. Proponents of the mastery goal perspective suggest that educators should only promote mastery goals in the classroom, while proponents of the multiple goal perspective suggest that there are possible benefits to both masteryapproach and performance-approach goals. Theorists on both sides of the debate have asked for a broader list of outcomes to be linked to the different goals that students pursue. The primary objective of the current study was to help solve this debate. The secondary objective was to provide program evaluation to the undergraduate psychology department. Thus, a survey was created looking at learning goals and outcomes for the psychology major at developmental levels of learning. This survey was linked to an Achievement Goal Theory questionnaire, revised for our study. Participants were psychology major students in their last year of undergraduate education who were given the surveys through WebSurveyor, an online survey tool. Simple correlations and a series of multiple regressions were run to look for possible additive, interactive, and specialized effects linking the 10 learning goals at each of the four levels of learning to the Achievement Goals. It was found that mastery-approach goals generally had positive correlations and significant main effects, while mastery-avoidance goals had negative correlations. However, findings for performance-approach goals were null. Implications of the study as well as suggestions for future research are discussed.
Asymptotic behavior of solutions of reaction-diffusion equations with nonlocal boundary conditions

This paper is concerned with some dynamical property of a reaction-diffusion equation with nonlocal boundary condition. Under some conditions on the kernel in the boundary condition and suitable conditions on the reaction function, the asymptotic behavior of the time-dependent solution is characterized in relation to a finite or an infinite set of constant steady-state solutions. This characterization is determined solely by the initial function and it leads to the stability and instability of the various steady-state solutions. In the case of finite constant steady-state solutions, the time-dependent solution blows up in finite time when the initial function is greater than the largest constant solution. Also discussed is the decay property of the solution when the kernel function in the boundary condition possesses alternating sign in its domain. (~) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
The perceived Stressors and Coping schemes of Geriatric Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis in Egypt

Background: Adhering to the regimen of hemodialysis requires elderly individuals to cope with a countless physical and emotional unique stressors in addition to disruption in family roles and commitments. Older adults had different life experiences/backgrounds and at different developmental stage, and had much comorbidities which make their experience with HD are completely different. Aim: To identify the perceived Stressors and Coping schemes of Geriatric Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis in Egypt. Research design:a cross sectional descriptive research design was utilized Sampling and setting:A convenience sample of 60 patients with a mean age of 65.1 years was recruited at 2 dialysis centers in Northern Egypt (Alexandria and El-Bohaira Governorates). Tools:Data were collected using the Haemodialysis geriatric patients' Socio–Demographic and Clinical Data Structured Interview Schedule, Hemodialysis Stressor Scale and the Jalowiec Coping Scale. Results:the majority of older patients are bothered to a moderate deal by the hemodialysis imposed stressors. Psychosocial stressors are more bothering than physiologic one. Limitation of physical activity (90.0%), the cost (86.75%) of treatment and tiredness (85.50%) are among the prime reported bothers. hemodialysis geriatric patients had lowered mean percent score of both coping schemes' use (36.4 %) and coping schemes' perceived effectiveness (32.9 %). Optimistic and supportive coping schemes are the essentially used and the most effective for alleviatingstressors. Significant associations were between physiologic and psychosocial types of hemodialysis stressors, inverse correlation between psychosocial stressors and the coping use and perceived effectiveness, further, positive association between coping schemes use and coping effectiveness was found. Conclusion:Hemodialysis geriatric patients are moderately bothered by the hemodialysis related stressors with the mastering of the psychosocial distresses. The coping schemes' use is higher than the coping schemes' perceived effectiveness despite both are found to be lowered. Optimistic and supportive coping schemes were the frequently used and perceived coping manner. Older adults’ subjects’ experienced high stress had lower coping use, the coping schemes use and its perceived helpfulness were positively connected. Recommendations: The need of continuous screening for stressors of the geriatric patients throughout the course of hemodialysis treatment, in-service training program for gerontological nurses and proper support caring like stress management and financial affordable services should be provided.

Comparing with the standard noise level required for educational institution, University of Agriculture Makurdi requires immediate intervention to reduce the noise level to the acceptable limits for educational institutions.
Variability of Athletes' Perception of Their Coaches and the Importance of This Image in Their Relations

The aim of this study is characterizing the variability of the athletes’ perceptions of their coaches and understand how this image could affect their relations in the field. The study involved 228 athletes (171 males, 57 females), aged between 13 and 28 years old, provided from individual sports and team sports. We used the Portuguese version of Player Coach Interaction Inventory (Inventário da Interacção Treinador-Atleta). Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics, T-Student, ANOVA and Bonferroni test. The results showed that, globally, athletes had a very positive image of coaches and the factor with a high value was the personal qualities (sincerity, honesty, intelligence.) following by leadership. Several factors were significantly influenced by athlete’s gender, competitive level and type of sport practiced.
Anesthesia: Physiology and Postanesthesia Problems

Modern anesthesia is a complex art and science that involves use of various drugs and procedures in a controlled but safe environment. The overall risk of death from anesthesia is between 1 in 112,000 and 1 in 450,000 (1). Studies show that the most common adverse events are due to respiratory problems, followed by neural injury and damage due to regional anesthesia (2). Over the past years, there is an increase in problems related to cardiovascular issues with a decrease in respiratory events (3). Patients with anesthetic complications may require treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU).
