The Effect of Prenatal Self-Care Based on Orem's Theory on Preterm Birth Occurrence in Women at Risk for Preterm Birth

Background: Preterm birth is increasing as a major cause of perinatal complications and mortality in Iran. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of prenatal self-care based on Orem's theory on preterm birth occurrence in women at risk for preterm birth. Materials and Methods: The present clinical trial was conducted on 176 pregnant women at 24–26 weeks at risk for preterm birth in Mashhad, Iran, from December 2015 to October 2016. A multistage sampling method was used in this study. The intervention group (88 pregnant women) received individual self-care education but the control group (88 pregnant women) received only common prenatal care. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between intervention and control groups in terms of preterm birth occurrence (6.80% vs 20.50%) (χ2 = 6.90, df = 1,p = 0.008). The incidence of preterm birth in the intervention group was approximately three times higher than that in the control group. Conclusions: Given that educational interventions could reduce the incidence of preterm birth, it is suggested that the women at risk for preterm birth are trained for prenatal self-care.
Parental Experiences about the Sexual and Reproductive Health of Adolescent Girls with Intellectual Disability: A Qualitative Study

Background: Intellectually disabled persons, as compared with normal people, experience different changes during the adolescence period including the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics. However, owing to their low intelligence quotient, these changes are usually accompanied by more problems and challenges. The present study was conducted to determine the experiences of parents regarding the sexual and reproductive health of educable intellectually disabled adolescent girls. Materials and Methods: This qualitative study was carried out on 52 participants (adolescent girls, parents, teachers, healthcare providers, and managers) who were selected via purposeful sampling in Isfahan between July 2016 and April 2017. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions and field notes, and analyzed using conventional content analysis. Results: Five sub-categories were extracted: “unawareness about sexual needs of the adolescent girl and her potential vulnerability,” “inappropriate actions in directing the sexual behaviors of the adolescent,” “insufficient supervision and care over the adolescent's sexual health,” “inappropriate actions toward marrying off the adolescent,” and “inappropriate actions regarding the menstrual and genital health” which formed the main category of “parents' inefficiency in maintaining adolescent girls' sexual and reproductive health. ” Conclusions: Based on the results, parents face different challenges about the sexual and reproductive health of intellectually disabled adolescent girls. Hence, empowering the parents especially mothers through teachers and healthcare providers with the knowledge and skills to maintain the sexual and reproductive health of intellectually disabled adolescent girls would make them emboldened to find the ability to protect themselves in different situations.
Field Vole Microtus agrestis abundance and Hen Harrier Circus cyaneus diet and breeding in Scotland

In many parts of the global range, voles form an important part of the diet of Hen Harriers Circus cyaneus, and breeding numbers are correlated with the abundance of these small mammals. In Scotland, however, little information is available on harrier diet in the spring and our understanding of causes of variation in harrier breeding density is complicated by human interference. In this paper we explore the relationship between Field Vole Microtus agrestis abundance and harrier spring diet, density and productivity in southern Scotland. Over three years, voles occurred on average in 67% of pellets, and 79% in years of high and intermediate vole abundance. From 1992, the number of breeding harriers increased following protection from illegal persecution. After accounting for this trend, harrier numbers correlated strongly with vole abundance. Harrier clutch size was also correlated with vole abundance. Although fledging success tended to be greater in years of vole increase than in years of vole decline, fledging success was not significantly correlated with the relative abundance of voles, or with the abundance of Meadow Pipits or Red Grouse chicks.
Predicting bug report fields using stack traces and categorical attributes

Studies have shown that the lack of information about a bug often delays the bug report (BR) resolution process. Existing approaches rely mainly on BR descriptions as the main features for predicting BR fields. BR descriptions, however, tend to be informal and not always reliable. In this study, we show that the use of stack traces, a more formal source, and categorical features of BRs provides better accuracy than BR descriptions. We focus on the prediction of faulty components and products, two important BR fields, often used by developers to investigate a bug. Our method relies on mining historical BRs in order to predict faulty components and products of new incoming bugs. We map stack traces of historical BRs to feature vectors, weighted using TF-IDF. The vectors, together with a selected set of BR categorical information, are then fed to a classification algorithm. The method also tackles the problem of unbalanced data. Our approach achieves an average accuracy of 58% (when predicting faulty components) and 60% (when predicting faulty products) on Eclipse dataset and 70% (when predicting faulty components) and 70% (when predicting faulty products) on Gnome dataset. For both datasets, our approach improves over the method that uses BR descriptions by a large margin, up to an average of 46%.
Investigating the relationship between evolutionary coupling and software bug-proneness

While designing a software system, minimizing coupling among program entities (such as files, classes, methods) is always desirable. If a software entity is coupled with many other entities, this might be an indication of poor software design because changing that entity will likely have ripple change effects on the other coupled entities. Evolutionary coupling, also known as change coupling, is a well investigated way of identifying coupling among program entities. Existing studies have investigated whether file level or class level evolutionary couplings are related with software bug-proneness. While these existing studies have mixed findings regarding the relationship between bug-proneness and evolutionary coupling, none of these studies investigated whether method level (i.e., function level for procedural languages) evolutionary coupling is correlated with bug-proneness. Investigation considering a finer granularity (i.e., such as method level granularity) can help us pinpoint which methods in the files or classes are actually responsible for coupling as well as bug-proneness. In this research, we investigate method level evolutionary coupling through mining association rules and analyze whether this coupling is correlated with software bug-proneness. According to our investigation on thousands of commit operations from the evolutionary history of six open-source subject systems, method level evolutionary coupling generally has a good positive correlation with software bug-proneness. Our regression analysis indicates that evolutionary coupling and bug-proneness mostly have a linear relationship between them. We also observe that methods that experience bug-fixes during evolution generally have a significantly higher number of evolutionary coupling links than themethods that do not experience bug-fixes. We realize that minimizing method level evolutionary coupling links can help us minimize bugs in software systems. Our prototype tool is capable of identifying highly coupled methods along with their coupling links so that programmers can find possibilities of minimizing those links for reducing bug-proneness of software systems.
SENSIBILIDAD ANTIMICÓTICA DE DIFERENTES ESPECIES DE HONGOS AISLADOS DE PACIENTES CON MICOSIS UNGUEAL EN LA CIUDAD DE MANIZALES (CALDAS, COLOMBIA)

The onychomycosis is the main cause of nail injury and affects between 2.5 and 14% of the population; the election of treatment is based primarily on the identification of the causative agent by culture. The disease has a high rate of recurrence and therapeutic resistance defined by lack of clearance of at least 25% of the nail or the isolation of fungus, determinable only until the end of treatment or months later. Antifungal susceptibility testing has not been established as a routine laboratory method; its implementation could reduce the risk of drug toxicity by unnecessary administration, raise the rate of response to treatment, measure the rate of resistance of fungi to antifungal agents available, use of antifungal against which there is sensitivity by the mycotic agent and reduce costs. Objective: To determine the in vitro susceptibility of three antifungal drugs in etiologic agents isolated from fungal nail lesions. Study type: Descriptive. Reference population: Adults with a clinical diagnosis of nail mycosis in the city of Manizales, Caldas, Colombia from whom different species of mycotic agents were isolated. Materials and Methods: To perform tests with antifungal agents, the methods proposed by the CLSI in the M27-A2 and M27-S3 protocols for yeasts and M38-A2 for mycelial fungi were used. The statistical analysis was done using the SPSS program, applying Student's test for frequency analysis and non-parametric tests for the results obtained with antifungals. Results: The dermatophytes (T. rubrum, T. mentagrophytes and T. tonsurans) showed increased sensitivity to terbinafine and itraconazole with MIC50 of 0.0156 mg/ml and 0.0625 mg/ml respectively. Yeasts and no dermatophytes mycelial fungi had elevated MICs for all three drugs. The highest rate of resistance in vitro (fluconazole 100%, terbinafine 25%, itraconazole 67%) was observed in the group of non-dermatophyte filamentous fungi (Fusarium spp., Penicillium spp., Helminthosporium spp., Aspergillus spp., Scopulariopsis spp. and Acremonium spp.). Conclusions: Although to date breakpoints applicable to clinical practice do not exist and clear correlation of the results with the clinical outcome is not clear either, the standardization of the antifungal susceptibility test in vitro opens the possibility to make comparisons with other studies and surveillance of emerging resistance.
RE-KINECT

Supplemental digital content is available in the text. Abstract Purpose/Background RE-KINECT (NCT03062033) was designed to assess the presence and impact of possible tardive dyskinesia (TD) in antipsychotic-treated outpatients. Methods/Procedures The study included adults with 3 or more months of lifetime antipsychotic exposure and 1 or more psychiatric disorder. Based on clinician observation and assessment, patients were assigned to cohort 1 (without involuntary movements or with non-TD involuntary movements) or cohort 2 (with involuntary movements confirmed by clinician as possible TD). Baseline assessments included the following: patient characteristics; location/severity of involuntary movements; and impact of possible TD on health-related quality of life, including the EuroQoL 5-Dimensions 5-Level questionnaire. Findings/Results Of 739 eligible patients, 204 (27.6%) had clinician-confirmed possible TD (cohort 2). Compared with cohort 1, patients in cohort 2 were significantly older (P < 0.0001), more likely to have schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder (P < 0.0001) and longer lifetime exposure to antipsychotics (P < 0.0001), and less likely to be working or studying, based on clinician perception (P = 0.0010). Clinician- and patient-rated severity of possible TD movements was significantly correlated in each of 4 body regions (head/face, neck/trunk, upper extremities, lower extremities), for maximum severity in any region, and for total number of affected regions (P < 0.001 for all correlations). For the patient-rated EuroQoL 5-Dimensions 5-Level, the health state visual analog scale score was significantly lower (worse) in cohort 2 versus cohort 1 (66.8 vs 69.7; P = 0.0002), as was the utility index score (0.71 vs 0.76; P < 0.0175). Implications/Conclusions Results from this real-world population indicate that TD occurs frequently and can significantly reduce quality of life in patients with a psychiatric disorder.
Agrupamento de acessos e cultivares de três espécies de Brachiaria por RAPD - DOI: 10.4025/actasciagron.v30i4.5298

The aim of this work was to determine intra and intergenetic similarity among three Brachiaria species for germplasm accesses and commercial cultivars using RAPD markers. Seeds were used as DNA source. 10 decamer ‘primers’ were selected among 120 ‘primers’, and 107 polymorphic bands were used to perform the analysis of molecular variance (Amova), Jaccard similarity coefficient and species fixation index. 24.4% of the total variability was contained between species and 75.6% within species, with a species fixation index (FST) of 0.24. The tree showed that two major branches were formed: one with the three outgroup species and another with the species, the latter split into three minor branches: one with all B. ruziziensis samples; another with all B. decumbens accessions and three of B. brizantha; and the last with two B. brizantha accesses , all commercial cultivars and B. decumbens cv. ‘Basilisk’. It was possible to group, through RAPD, Brachiaria accesses and cultivars. The genetic variability index between species was considered low, and somewhat low when compared with autogamous species. B. brizantha showed the highest genetic variability and the lowest FST, which means that there is a higher intra specific genetic flux than the others.
Morphological research on indigenous Sambucus species pollen.

The pollen grains have a definite shape, size, colour, structure for each species, genus and family and these characters are useful for systematical botany. The pollen has nutritive properties due to its content: proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins, hormones and minerals. In the Romanian flora vegetate three species of Sambucus, but only S. nigra L. (elder or black elder) supplies a vegetal medical product, Sambuci flos or elder flowers, whereas the others species S. ebulus L. (dwarf elder) and S. racemosa L. (mountain elder or red elder) are considered adulterations. The pollen of Sambucus species were already studied using optical microscopy (Tarnavschi et al.), but the images are in one single layout, therefore the structure details cannot be easily notice. In this context the pollen grains of the three species already mentioned above were studied by SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy). The results demonstrated that this pollen have a small-middle size, oblat-sphaeroidal-prolat shape, threecolpat and the exine adornments are of reticulate type, haemitectate with sticks in the meshs of polygonale net. The flavonoids content is lower than in others species (0.146-0.564 %). The SEM analyse of Sambucus pollen allow a reliable identification of the genus but less for the species.
BARRIERS AND MOTIVATORS FOR LOW-INCOME BRAZILIAN WOMEN IN METROPOLITAN BELO HORIZONTE: INSIGHTS FOR AIDS PREVENTION

Effective health campaigns are essential for combating the spread of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, prevention campaigns aimed at certain groups often are not successful. One of the primary reasons for these failures is that the socioeconomic and cultural context of the target audiences has been neglected by the campaigners. My purpose in this study was to identify both the barriers against and the motivators in favor of behavioral changes in AIDS prevention among low-income urban women. The theoretical foundation for this study is provided by gender schema and self-efficacy theories. From my results I offer specific insights concerning how further and better communication regarding AIDS prevention might be achieved in urban Brazilian communities.
Impact of Clinical Alarms on Patient Safety: A Report From the American College of Clinical Engineering Healthcare Technology Foundation

Clinical alarms warn caregivers of immediate or potential adverse patient conditions. Alarms must be accurate, intuitive, and provide alerts that are readily interpreted and acted on by clinicians in an appropriate fashion. Clinical alarms and their shortcomings have been the topic of numerous studies and analysis in the literature. The Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations established a National Patient Safety goal in 2002 to improve the effectiveness of clinical alarms. This goal was removed for hospital organizations in 2004 and incorporated into the standards of the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. Despite the technological and healthcare improvements related to efforts to meet the National Patient Safety goal, adverse patient events related to alarm system design and performance, care management, and the complexity of the patient care environment continue to occur. In 2004, the American College of Clinical Engineering Healthcare Technology Foundation (www.acce-htf.org) started an initiative to improve clinical alarms. This article presents the results of that initiative through reviews of the literature related to clinical alarm factors and analyzes adverse event databases. Efforts to improve alarms through technological, standards, and regulatory means are also reviewed and evaluated. Forums, meetings, and a survey of 1327 clinicians, engineers, technical staff, and managers provided considerable feedback regarding alarm issues. Of particular value is the response from nursing staff who represented most of the respondents to the survey. Observations and recommendations have been developed to improve the impact of clinical alarms on patient safety. Future directions are aimed at increased awareness, a focused effort toward the reduction of false alarms, and soliciting all constituents involved in clinical alarms to meet and develop action plans to address key issues.
Induced variability for fatty acid profile and molecular characterization of high oleate mutant in cultivated groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)

With 3 figures and 2 tables Abstract Groundnut is an important oilseed crop grown extensively in tropical and subtropical regions in nearly 100 different countries. Monounsaturated fatty acid like oleic acid is known to have beneficial health effects. Hence, recent research efforts are directed towards an improvement of oleic acid in groundnut genotype, TFDRG 5. In the present study, 47 true breeding mutants with various morphological traits were isolated at M3 through gamma rays and/or sodium azide mutagenesis. These mutants were characterized for oil and fatty acid compositions at M8 and M9 generations. Of them, TGM 192M had nearly 27.3% improvement in oleic acid content which in turn increased the oleic/linoleic acid (O/L) ratio to 5.5 from 2.0 in parent. Sequencing of mutated ahFAD2A gene detected several point mutations in the coding region. Restriction digestion with Hpy99I and in silico translation of the mutated sequence further confirmed the G to A transition is responsible for high oleate trait in this mutant seed.
Germany after a Decade of Social Democrats in Government: The End of the Continental Model?

In this paper, it is argued that Germany has undergone a series of large-scale institutional changes under 11 years of Social Democratic governance, weakening all of its core Continental principles and effectively triggering a process of regime hybridisation. Elements of these reforms include the recalibration of its labour market governance system, as well as a two-fold path-correction toward (a) a Nordic ideal type through the introduction of an activation pillar, a comprehensive, state-led childcare strategy, and a desire to improve lifelong learning opportunities, and (b) a liberal welfare ideal type through the curtailment of status-preserving privileges, increased benefit conditionality, and (more hesitantly) a move toward a relaxation of employment protection legislation, especially for labour market ‘outsiders’. As the path corrections toward the Nordic ideal type came far too late in the Social Democrats' reign, the party leadership lost the trust of many voters, its party base, and the union movement.
ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITY OF SOME PLANT EXTRACTS AGAINST IMPORTANT SEED BORNE PATHOGENS OF ASPERGILLUS SP

Aqueous extract of fifty-two plants from different families were tested for their antifungal potential against eight important species of Aspergillus such as A. candidus, A. columnaris, A. flavipes, A. flavus, A. fumigatus, A. niger, A. ochraceus, and A. tamarii which isolated from sorghum, maize and paddy seed samples. The test fungi were mainly associated with seed biodeterioration during storage. Among fifty-two plants tested, aqueous extract of Acacia nilotica, Achras zapota, Datura stramonium, Emblica officinalis, Eucalyptus globules, Lawsonia inermis, Mimusops elengi, Peltophorum pterocarpum, Polyalthia longifolia, Prosopis juliflora, Punica granatum and Sygigium cumini have recorded significant antifungal activity against one or the other Aspergillus species tested. A. flavus recorded high susceptibility and hence solvent extracts viz., petroleum ether, benzene, chloroform, methanol and ethanol extracts of all the twelve plants were tested for their antifungal activity against it. Among the solvent extracts tested, methanol gave more effective than ethanol, chloroform,benzene and petroleum ether, except for Polyalthia longifolia, where petroleum ether extract recorded highly significant antifungal activity than other solvent extracts.
A soil-based method to screen for zinc efficiency in seedlings and its ability to predict yield responses to zinc deficiency in mature plants

Nutrient efficiency measures the ability of a plant to grow and produce grain when the availability of a nutrient is low. Seedling tests for nutrient efficiency will be most useful if the results correlate well with grain yield responses. In two experiments, a diverse range of barley genotypes was screened for zinc (Zn) efficiency at the seedling stage and the relationship between vegetative and grain measures of Zn efficiency was examined. In Expt 1, 54 barley and 4 wheat genotypes were grown at 2 levels of Zn (0.02 and 0.8 mg/kg soil) for 21 days. Zinc efficiency ranged from 18% to 52%. The visual symptoms of Zn deficiency varied considerably between genotypes and was significantly correlated with Zn efficiency. Root:shoot ratio was increased by Zn deficiency and varied between genotypes, but these differences were not related to Zn efficiency. Zinc concentration and especially Zn content at 0.02 mg Zn/kg were significantly related to Zn efficiency. In Expt 2, 15 genotypes, selected on the basis of their response in Expt 1, were grown to maturity at either 0.1 mg Zn/kg or 2.4 mg Zn/kg. Zn efficiency, based on relative grain yield, ranged from 5% to 54%. High efficiency was associated with a large number of grains per plant and high kernel weight. Rankings of Zn efficiency in the experiment were significantly correlated with the rankings for visual scores in Expt 1. The 2 experiments suggested that deficiency symptoms at the seedling stage can identify efficient genotypes and could be useful for routine screening for Zn efficiency. Independent data from multisite comparisons over 8 years were used to examine the long-term performance of efficient and inefficient genotypes in the field. Hierarchical cluster was used to define efficient and inefficient groupings within the 56 genotypes examined in Expt 1, based on their responses to Zn. The Zn-efficient genotypes tended to yield more than the Zn-inefficient genotypes. The data provide prima facae evidence that high Zn efficiency may contribute to improved adaptation of barley in South Australia.
