Baby Incubator Based on PID Control With Kangaroo Mode (Kangaroo Mode and Humidity)

Baby Incubator is one of the electromedical equipment used to provide protection to premature babies or low birth weight. Baby care in the baby incubator causes separation of mother and baby. A new innovation in the care of premature babies who bring their babies and mothers closer is Kangaroo Method Management (PMK). Kangaroo method treatment aims to create emotional attachment to the baby, so that the mother will confidently take care. The research and manufacture of this module uses a method of treating baby incubator by adding a reading of the room temperature when the kangaroo mode runs at a setting of 34 ° C - 37 ° C with the effect of room temperature at 18 ° C, 24 ° C, and 30 ° C and setting the humidity control automatically by measuring at a temperature of 32 ° C, then measuring the results immediately. Sensors used to detect temperature are LM35 sensors and sensors used to detect humidity using DHT22. Based on the measurement results obtained uncertainty values ​​on the measurement of humidity 2.1, the measurement of temperature stability can be seen from the results of the graph which shows that the room temperature is not too influential at the temperature of the baby incubator. This study has shown the development of baby incubators to help mothers who have babies born prematurely so that they can have a good bond with how to treat skin to skin. This study has proven that its accuracy is appropriate to be used to stabilize the condition of babies born prematurely and help to treat PMK in some hospitals. In the future, this research can be made and used in small clinics in villages at low costs.
Morphological Studies on of Chemically Deposited EuX Thin Films

Abstract The Europium chalcogenide (EuX) thin films have been deposited bare glass substrates by chemically spray pyrolysis technique at different substrate temperatures, in aqueous medium. The films synthesised were studied morphologically. The effect of substrate temperature on morphological properties has been investigated. The XRD studies reveal that the films are polycrystalline in nature and the deposited material was europium sulphide. The SEM analysis conform the formation of small grains on overall substrate.
Concentration of skim milk by reverse osmosis: characterization and flow decline modelling

Abstract In this paper the physicochemical characteristics and the flow decline occurring during the reverse osmosis of skim milk, were analysed. The flow decline was evaluated using the resistances in series, the blocked pore models and a second conjugated model that combined the blocked pores with the development of a filter cake. The main resistance found was the concentration by polarization, which was mainly influenced by the complete blocking of the pores. The conjugated model was capable of predicting the flow decline of the process. With respect to the physicochemical properties, more than 98% of the lactose, protein, oils and fats were retained, demonstrating the efficiency of the process.
The Prevalence of Asthma and its Related Risk Factors among the Children in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Background: The prevalence of asthma has increased considerably in the last few years. This study aimed at assessing the prevalence of asthma and its related risk factors among children in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross sectional prospective study was carried out. Pretested well-designed questionnaires were distributed during the period from May to October 2016. Results: Parents of 1700 children out of 4000 have completed the questionnaire with a response rate of 42.5%, 1082 (63.6%) of them were male. Asthma prevalence among girls (14.4%) was higher than boys (12.4%), but this difference was insignificant. Asthma prevalence was significantly higher among Saudi participants (14.4%)compared to non- Saudi (5.9%). Nature of residency, the presence of a plant or presence of pets at home had no significant effect on asthma prevalence. A smoking of family member and a history of asthma in the family had an important association on asthma prevalence rate. The highest prevalence of asthma (29.7%) was among the younger children (<3 years). Symptoms of asthma enhanced during exercise. The positive association between asthma and both cough and breathlessness was noted. Asthma had no effect on schools absenteeism, visiting or admission to hospitals. Body mass index had no effect on the prevalence of asthma. Conclusion: The asthma prevalence rate among children was 13.1%, whereas, smoking and a history of asthma in the family increased this rate. Further studies are recommended to investigate asthma prevalence based on clinical and laboratory diagnosis to explore the link between asthma and obesity.

Efficacy of Short and Mono segment Spinal Fixations in Traumatic Incomplete Thoracolumbar Burst Fractures

Background: Controversies still mount over the long segment, short segment and mono segment screw fixation for traumatic thoracolumbar spine burst fractures. This article aims to provide our initial experience of the effectiveness of these management modalities with additive focus on their potential benefits upon preventing the loss of correction over time. Methods: We included all operated cases of thoracolumbar fractures presenting with the ASIA grade of above ‘C’ between December 2014to December 2017 in a retrospective manner in terms of operative time, estimated intra-operative blood loss, any post-operative surgical wound complications, implant cost, average time lapse for the patients to return to physiotherapy and the follow up radiological imaging at 6 months. Results: Long segment fixation is comparatively more time consuming with considerable blood loss and high incidence of postoperative wound complications. We observed that both short as well as mono segment crew fixations had similar incidences with regards to the common complications pertaining to the spinal implant placement procedures. Conclusions: Both short and mono-segment fixation procedures resulted in comparable short and long term results. Though long segment fixation is comparatively more stable, it is, however, expensive with a higher incidence of other postoperative complications.

INFORMATION-SEEKING BEHAVIORS OF PRACTICING DENTAL HYGIENISTS IN VIRGINIA

INFORMATION-SEEKING BEHAVIORS OF PRACTICING DENTAL HYGIENISTS IN VIRGINIA By Joan M. Pellegrini, R.D. H. , Ph.D. A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Virginia Commonwealth University. Virginia Commonwealth University, 2008 Major Director: Dr. John J. Kregel, Professor and Chair Special Education and Disability Policy School of Education This study explored how currently licensed, active dental hygiene practitioners in the Commonwealth of Virginia, retrieve, validate and process new knowledge in the discipline which provides a basis for clinical decisions on selection of dental hygiene interventions for patients. The research design was a nonexperimental, correlational design using mail survey methodology. A self-developed questionnaire was mailed to 500 practicing dental hygienists in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The survey contained questions on demographics of the respondent, current methods of retrieving new information in the discipline, and preferences for information retrieval. The completed surveys that were returned yielded a 52. 7% response rate, and provided descriptive data for analysis concerning the variables of interest in the research questions. The analyses conducted in this study focused on the sample characteristics, including gender, ethnicity, years since graduation, membership in the professional organization, actual information-seeking methods used, access and frequency of use of the Internet, preferences for information retrieval, and critical assessment of the new information in the discipline. In general, the findings indicate three areas of relationship between graduation era (before and after 1990) and online continuing professional education, Internet retrieval of new evidence on which to base decisions for clinical patient care, and contacting a dental or dental hygiene educator for new information in the discipline. Traditional resources for receiving new knowledge in the discipline were favored, with the greatest number in professional journals received at home, followed by face-to-face continuing education lectures. Online continuing education led the preferred Internet or computerized retrieval sources. Almost two-thirds of the respondents indicated they evaluate new knowledge retrieved from the Internet, and the same number indicated agreement that they question the source and content of nontraditional information resources prior to incorporation and translation of the new knowledge into clinical decisions for patient care. The author concludes with additional findings, continuing professional education opportunities for practicing clinicians and implications for critical thinking skills and information retrieval in the dental hygiene education curriculum.

Development of mammalian fast muscle

plasma and urine testosterone incremental changes after 4 days ofHCG for all patients, suggesting either urine or plasma testosterone measurements under these conditions are suitable indices of testicular function. Basal levels of urine testosterone were no direct guide as to expected response to 4 days of HCG. Eight children with normal pubertal development on follow-up and 3 children with constitutional delayed puberty had base-line plasma testosterone and 4-hour levels after a single injection of HCG (1500 units), directly proportional to their maturational status (Tanner I-V). The less mature (Tanner I-II) had very low basal plasma testosterone levels which did not change significantly at 4 hours. Good responses 24 to 48 hours after the single injection ofHCG were, however, shown. This may be a useful altemative test of gonadal function to the 4-day stimulation test.
Financial literacy and entrepreneurial risk aversion

ABSTRACT We explore the interaction effects of financial literacy and risk aversion on becoming an entrepreneur. We use two independent datasets to provide evidence that the difference in risk aversion between entrepreneurs and wage earners is conditional on their financial literacy. First, we use the De Nederlandsche Bank’s Household Survey and find lower risk aversion only for entrepreneurs with lower financial literacy. The difference disappears for entrepreneurs with higher financial literacy. Second, we show that the results are robust in a fully incentivized field experiment with high-tech startups from three European countries. The results reveal a potential channel of how financial literacy can promote entrepreneurship.
Language as Raw Material, Scripts as Tools and Conversations as Product: Effects of Linguistic Production on Job Categories in Outsourced Call Centres

The article shows how linguistic criteria have become central when defining job categories in the outsourced call centre sector in Spain. Language occupies a central role in the production processes of informational capitalism: in call centres, language functions as the raw material, scripts as tools and conversations as a product. Yet the ways in which linguistic production affects key elements of job categories have received little attention. Drawing on in&#8208;depth interviews in the call centre sector, the analysis of scripts and collective agreements, this article shows how trade unions and workers are pushing to adapt Fordist arguments based on job autonomy to informational production, arguing that job categories may depend on linguistic autonomy from the scripts during the labour process.
Interventions to Improve Movement and Functional Outcomes in Adult Stroke Rehabilitation: Review and Evidence Summary

Background Patients who have had a stroke may not be familiar with the terminology nor have the resources to efficiently search for evidence-based rehabilitation therapies to restore movement and functional outcomes. Recognizing that a thorough systematic review on this topic is beyond the scope of this article, we conducted a rapid review evidence summary to determine the level of evidence for common rehabilitation interventions to improve movement/motor and functional outcomes in adults who have had a stroke. Objective The objective of this study was to find evidence for common rehabilitation interventions to improve movement/motor and functional outcomes in adults who have had a stroke. Methods Medline Complete, PubMed, CINAHL Complete, Cochrane Database, Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine Source, Dissertation Abstracts International, and National Guideline Clearinghouse, from 1996 to April of 2016, were searched. From 348 articles, 173 met the following inclusion criteria: (1) published systematic reviews or meta-analyses, (2) outcomes target functional movement or motor skills of the upper and lower limbs, (3) non-pharmacological interventions that are commonly delivered to post-stroke population (acute and chronic), (4) human studies, and (5) English. Evidence tables were created to analyze the findings of systematic reviews and meta-analyses by category of interventions and outcomes. Results This rapid review found that the following interventions possess credible evidence to improve functional movement of persons with stroke: cardiorespiratory training, therapeutic exercise (ie, strengthening), task-oriented training (task-specific training), constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT), mental practice, and mirror therapy. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) (ie, functional electrical stimulation) shows promise as an intervention for stroke survivors. Conclusions Most commonly delivered therapeutic interventions to improve motor recovery after a stroke possess moderate quality evidence and are effective. Future research recommendations, such as optimal timing and dosage, would help rehabilitation professionals tailor interventions to achieve the best outcomes for stroke survivors.
3 Cases of Systemic Strongyloides in Human Immunodeficiency Virus–Infected Patients

Abstract Strongyloides stercolaris is an intestinal nematode that is endemic in tropical and subtropical areas. In immunocompromised individuals such as individuals with human T-lymphotrophic virus 1 or history of corticosteroid use, Strongyloides (SS) infection can accelerate to hyperinfection or disseminated infection, conditions which are associated with high mortality. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is not considered to be a risk factor for systemic SS infection; however, dozens of cases of HIV patients that have developed SS in the absence of recognized risk factors have been described in the literature. Although the burden of SS in HIV patients is not as high as would be expected if HIV was an equivalent risk factor to human T-lymphotrophic virus 1 or steroid usage, the number of reported cases indicates that there may be a relationship between HIV and SS. We report 3 additional cases of HIV patients with SS infections that presented at a major metropolitan county hospital in Houston, Tex.
COMPACT, PICOSECOND, KW-CLASS THIN-DISK LASER PERLA FOR HI-TECH INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

Ultrashort-pulse, high average power thin-disk lasers matured and became efficient tools for precise material processing and hi-tech laser applications. Hilase centre developed a diodepumped thin-disk laser platform for Yb:YAG regenerative amplifiers delivering pulse energy >40 mJ, pulse repetition rate up to 400 kHz, nearly diffraction-limited output beam, and average power reaching of >500 W. The platform called Perla is based on a chirped-pulse amplification system (CPA) consisting of a fiber-based front-end, and a thin-disk regenerative amplifier followed by a compact pulse compressor. The system generates pulses <2 ps in duration. A TRL 7 (technical readiness level) version of the system with average power reaching up to 100 W is ready for customers, a 0.5 kW version exists like a laboratory prototype (TRL 4). The Yb:YAG system emitting at 1030 nm can be alternatively equipped by a frequency conversion stages to visible, UV, or mid-infrared (1.5 – 3 um) spectral regions. We demonstrate capabilities and construction details of the Perla platform.
Tests of Normality of Functional Data

The paper is concerned with testing normality in samples of curves and error curves estimated from functional regression models. We propose a general paradigm based on the application of multivariate normality tests to vectors of functional principal components scores. We examine finite sample performance of a number of such tests and select the best performing tests. We apply them to several extensively used functional data sets and determine which can be treated as normal, possibly after a suitable transformation. We also offer practical guidance on software implementations of all tests we study and develop large sample justification for tests based on sample skewness and kurtosis of functional principal component scores.
