Spatial distribution and predictive factors of antenatal care in Burundi: a multilevel analysis and spatial baseline for the third Burundian demographic health survey

Background: The use of antenatal care by pregnant women enables them to receive good pregnancy monitoring.This monitoring includes counseling, health instructions, examinations and tests to avoid pregnancy-related complications or death during childbirth. To avoid these complications, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends at least four antenatal visits.Therefore, this study sought to understand the spatial distribution and predictive factors of antenatal care (ANC) among women aged 15 to 49 years with a medical doctor in Burundi. Methods: We used data from the Second Burundi Demographic and Health Survey (DHS). A descriptive and spatial analysis of ANC prevalence were done.The ANC prevalence was mapped by region and by province. In unsampled data points ,a cluster based interpolation of ANC prevalence was done using the kernel method with an adaptive window. Predictive factors of ANC were assessed using a fixed effects binary logistic regression.The dependent variable was antenatal care with a medical doctor and the explanatory variables were place of residence, age, education level, religion, marital status of the woman, household wealth index and delivery place of the woman.Data processing and data analysis were done using R software, version 3.5. 0. Results: The ANC prevalence varied from 0.0 to 16.2% with a median of 0.5%. A highest predicted ANC prevalence was observed at Muyinga and Kirundo provinces junction. Low prevalence was observed in several locations in all regions and provinces. The womans education level and delivery place were significantly associated with antenatal care with a medical doctor. Conclusion: Globally, the ANC prevalence is low in Burundi. It varies across the country. There is an intra-regional or intra-provincial heterogeneity in term of ANC prevalence.Womans education level and delivery place are significantly associated antenatal care.
Detection of activityamong unculturedActinobacteria in a drinking water reservoir

The abundance, identity and activity of uncultured Bacteria and Actinobacteria present in a drinking water reservoir (North Pine Dam, Brisbane, Australia) were determined using a combination of ﬂuorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) alone or with catalysed reporter deposition (CARD-FISH) with microautoradiography. The CARD-FISH technique was modiﬁed relative to previous described procedures and performed directly on gelatine cover slips in order to allow simultaneous combination with microautoradiography. Almost twofold higher numbers of microorganisms could be identiﬁed as either Bacteria or Actinobacteria using the CARD-FISH technique as compared with the traditional FISH technique. A combination of FISH or CARD-FISH with microautoradiography showed generally higher activity among the Actinobacteria than among all Bacteria . Another important observation was that many cells within the FISH-negative populations of both Actinobacteria and Bacteria were actively assimilating thymidine. Thus, great care should be taken when extrapolating the active fraction of a prokaryotic community to be equivalent to the FISH-detectable population in such environments. Bacterial groups within Actinobacteria produce the odours geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol, which lower the quality of surface water when used for drinking. The results indicate that combined microautoradiography and CARD-FISH may serve as an effective tool when studying identity and activity of microorganisms within freshwater environments.
Magnetospheric Magnetic Field Modeling.

Abstract : This report describes work that has been performed within the last year on the modeling of the disturbed magnetospheric magnetic field. The reasons for developing quantitative magnetospheric models are twofold: first, there are many model users who have practical needs. Their requirements are to specify and to predict such things as: radiation dose in the earth orbital environment, fluctuations in ionospheric electron density, variations in the earth's upper atmosphere density, and the impact of magnetic storms on loading changes in electrical power grids. The second set of model users have technical and scientific needs. They use the magnetic field models in studies of other magnetospheric, ionospheric, and upper atmospheric phenomena, or to understand the interactions of magnetospheric magnetic and electric fields with particle populations. This report should be the last of a series quantitatively describing the magnetospheric magnetic field. Some of the history of the magnetic field work that leads to the efforts pursued this last year is described. (Author)
Type 17 T Helper Cells in the Airways Priming and Its Polarization to Type 1 and Mediator in the Development of T Cell Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Is a Key

Chronic inﬂammatory airway diseases including asthma are characterized by immune dysfunction to inhaled allergens. Our previous studies demonstrated that T cell priming to inhaled allergens requires LPS, which is ubiquitously present in household dust allergens. In this study, we evaluated the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the development of T cell priming and its polarization to Th1 or Th17 cells when exposed to LPS-contaminated allergens. An asthma mouse model was induced by airway sensitization with LPS-contaminated allergens and then challenged with allergens alone. Therapeutic intervention was performed during allergen sensitization. The present study showed that lung inﬂammation induced by sensitization with LPS-contaminated allergens was decreased in mice with homozygous disruption of the IL-17 gene; in addition, allergen-speciﬁc Th17 immune response was abolished in IL-6 knockout mice. Meanwhile, in vivo production of VEGF was up-regulated by airway exposure of LPS. In addition, airway sensitization of allergen plus recombinant VEGF induced both type 1 and type 17 Th cell (Th1 and Th17) responses. Th1 and Th17 responses induced by airway sensitization with LPS-contaminated allergens were blocked by treatment with a pan-VEGF receptor (VEGFR; VEGFR-1 plus VEGFR-2) inhibitor during sensitization. These effects were accompanied by inhibition of the production of Th1 and Th17 polarizing cytokines, IL-12p70 and IL-6, respectively. These ﬁndings indicate that VEGF produced by LPS plays a key role in activation of naive T cells cytokines on FACSCalibur ﬂow cytometer (BD Biosciences) using CellQuest software.
THE NATURE OF ASTHMA: INCITERS AND INDUCERS

It is a great privilege to be invited to deliver the Colt lecture. The Colt Foundation, which this lecture honours, was founded by the O’Hea family to support research with the aim of reducing ill health caused by work. Their contribution provides the major charitable source of funding in the UK for investigatorinitiated research into the causes and consequences of occupational disease. It is a pleasure in giving this lecture to give public recognition to the O’Hea family for their unwavering commitment to occupational health research. I have chosen to focus on asthma and work, not only because this has been a major research interest of mine for more than two decades but, of more importance, because asthma is the most prevalent cause in the UK, and probably in the Western World, of respiratory ill health during working life. Now recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease of the bronchial airways, asthma is characterized by episodes of airway narrowing which can cause significant disability and impact on the ability to work. Increased lability of the airways, which is characteristic of asthma, allows provocation of acute airway narrowing by physical and chemical stimuli encountered at work. In addition, asthma can be induced by agents inhaled at work, both as a reaction to irritants inhaled in toxic concentrations and as the outcome of a hypersensitivity response to inhaled proteins and low molecular weight chemicals—occupational asthma. During the past 30 yr much has been learnt of both the causes of occupational asthma and its consequences. It has become clear that the risk of development of occupational asthma is determined less by individual susceptibility (genetic or behavioural) than by the level of exposure to its causes. We can now be reasonably certain that the higher the exposure the greater the risk, and sufficiently certain that, as with carcinogens, hazardous exposures need to be reduced to the extent that is technically feasible. It is also highly desirable that the effectiveness of such interventions be appropriately evaluated and the findings disseminated.
Neutralino dark matter scattering and $B_s \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ in SUSY models

It is pointed out that there is a strong correlation between the neutralino dark matter scattering cross section $\sigma_{\tilde{\chi} p}$ and the branching ratio for $B_s \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ within minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) and its extensions. This correlation arises mainly from $\tan\beta$ and heavy neutral Higgs mass dependence, and shows a nice interplay between vastly different two observables within supersymmetric models. Current upper limit on $B(B_s \to \mu^+ \mu^-) < 5.8 \times 10^{-7}$ excludes substantial parameter space where $\sigma_{\tilde{\chi} p}$ is within the CDMS sensitivity region.
Baleen whales in the Scotia Sea during January and February 2003

Different species of baleen whales display distinct spatial distribution patterns in the Scotia Sea during the austral summer. Passive acoustic and visual surveys for baleen whales were conducted aboard the RRS James Clark Ross in the Scotia Sea and around South Georgia in January and February 2003. Identified calls from four species were recorded during the acoustic survey including southern right (Eubalaena australis), blue (Balaenoptera musculus), fin (B. physalus) and humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae). These acoustic data included up calls made by southern right whales, downswept D and tonal calls by blue whales, two possible types of fin whale downswept calls and humpback whale moans and grunts. Visual detections included southern right, fin, humpback and Antarctic minke whales (B. bonaerensis sp.). Most acoustic and visual detections occurred either around South Georgia (southern right and humpback whales) or south of the southern boundary of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) and along the outer edge of the ice pack (southern right, blue, humpback and Antarctic minke whales). Fin whales were the exception, being the only species acoustically and visually detected primarily in the central Scotia Sea, along the southern ACC front. In addition to identifiable calls from these species, two types of probable baleen whale calls were detected: 50Hz upswept and pulsing calls. It is proposed that minke whales may produce the pulsing calls, based on their similarities with minke whale calls recorded in the North Atlantic Ocean. There was an overlap between locations of fin whale sightings and recordings and locations of 50Hz upswept calls in the central Scotia Sea, but these calls were most similar to calls attributed to blue whales in other parts of Antarctica. More study is required to determine if baleen whales produce these two call types, and if so, which species. The efficiency of acoustics and visual surveys varied by species, with blue whales being easier to detect using acoustics, Antarctic minke whales being best detected during visual surveys and other species falling in between these two extremes.

Empirical evidence for a boundary-induced nonequilibrium phase transition

A recently developed theory for boundary-induced phenomena in nonequilibrium systems predicts the existence of various steady-state phase transitions induced by the motion of a shock wave. We provide direct empirical evidence that a phase transition between a free flow and a congested phase occurring in traffic flow on highways in the vicinity of on- and off-ramps can be interpreted as an example of such a boundary-induced phase transition of first order. We analyse the empirical traffic data and give a theoretical interpretation of the transition in terms of the macroscopic current. Additionally we support the theory with computer simulations of the Nagel-Schreckenberg model of vehicular traffic on a road segment which also exhibits the expected second-order transition. Our results suggest ways to predict and to some extent to optimize the capacity of a general traffic network.
Groundmass of unaltered kimberlites of the Udachnaya-East pipe (Yakutia, Russia): a sample of the kimberlite melt

Introduction. The majority of the Siberian kimberlites (>90%), alike other kimberlites in the world, are variably affected by synand postmagmatic alteration. The alteration has mostly affected the mineral and chemical compositions of the kimberlite groundmass, so it is characterised by low-Si, high-Ca and high-Si, high-Mg endmembers, represented by calcite and serpentine, respectively. Although some studies claim findings of unaltered and macrocryst-poor kimberlite varieties (le Roex et al., 2003; Price et al., 2000), the groundmass of such kimberlites still remains dominated by abundant calcite and serpentine. The compositional effects, if any, of other groundmass phases are scarcely reported. Contrary to previous studies of group-I kimberlites worldwide, we record at least twenty magmatic minerals in the groundmass of the uniquely fresh kimberlites of the Udachnaya-East pipe. These phases are primarily responsible for so far unknown compositional features of kimberlites, such as low H2O contents, and highly elevated CO2, alkalies and chlorine (Kamenetsky et al., 2004; Kamenetsky et al., 2007b; Maas et al., 2005).
The Moderating Role Of Emotional Intelligence Between Academic Procrastination And Academic Achievement Among Male And Female University Students

The present research is designed to evaluate the relationship among emotional intelligence, academic procrastination and academic achievement in male and female University students. Further, to explore the moderating role of emotional intelligence between academic procrastination and academic achievement in male and female University students. Purposive sampling technique was employed based on cross-sectional design. Sample consisted 304University students (male students, n = 94; female students, n = 210). Two scales were employed toassess the academic procrastination and emotional intelligence in university students. The results revealed that Academic Procrastination was negatively correlated and significant with emotional intelligence (r = -.33, p < .001). However, non-significantly correlated with previous class GPA (r = -.05, n.s) and current class GPA (r = -.14, n.s) for male University students. The result also elaborated that Academic Procrastination was negatively correlated and significant with emotional intelligence (r = -.09, p < .001), but also non-significant correlated withprevious class GPA (r = .02, n.s) and current class GPA (r = -.03, n.s) for female male University students. Results further revealed that female students werepredisposed more emotional intelligence and academic achievement as compare to male students. On the other hand, results explained that male students were more inclined to have academic procrastination as compared to female students. Our analysis results revealed that emotional intelligence acted as a moderator between academic procrastination and previous class GPA in female students. The study acclaimedthat those female and male students who experienced academic procrastination, they get low marks in previous class with lower emotional intelligence as compare to those female and male students who exhibited higher emotional intelligence.Recommendations of the latest study are that male and female university students can equally be beneficial but male students can get more benefit by an intervention addressing to academic procrastination. This study would be helpful in educational settings to resolve the emotionalproblems of students that drag towardsreducing academic procrastination and improvement of the academic achievement.
Effect of Drying and in vitro Gastrointestinal Digestion on Antioxidant Activities of Orange and Purple Fleshed Sweet Potatoes

Colored sweet potato flesh is especially rich in bioactive compounds that exert antioxidant properties. Drying was applied to reduce moisture content of sweet potatoes for a safe storage. However, little is known how their antioxidant activity changes after drying and gastrointestinal digestion. In this research, orange (OFSP) and purple (PFSP) fleshed sweet potato were peeled, sliced and subsequently dried at three different conditions including 55 °C for 16 h, 70 °C for 10 h and 85 °C for 8 h to reduce moisture content below 8% (wb). Bioactive compounds in terms of total phenolic content (TPC), total carotenoid content (TCC), total anthocyanin content (TAC) and their associated antioxidant activities by Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assays were analyzed. In addition, the digesta obtained in each phase (oral, gastric and intestinal) of gastrointestinal digestion were used to determine all antioxidant activities, accordingly. Results showed drying at 70 and 85 °C tended to give negative effects since TPC and TCC of OFSP and TPC and TAC of PFSP decreased to a significant extent ( p < 0.05) compared to those of freeze dried samples. The exception was for PFSP dried at 55 °C that showed the increased TPC and TAC corresponding to the highest antioxidant activities either by FRAP and DPPH. Based on in vitro gastrointestinal digestion, a slight increase or decrease in TPC, FRAP and DPPH of both sweet potato varieties was observed during gastric and intestinal phases. Results suggested that low drying temperature at 55 °C was recommended for both OFSP and PFSP since it provided high antioxidant properties which were stable through gastrointestinal digestion. mgGAE/100 g db) than PFSP (330.91 mgGAE/100 g db) was observed. TCC measured in OFSP was 79.99 mg β CE/100 g db and TAC, a subgroup of TPC measured in PFSP was 8.04 mgCyE/100 g db. Tang et compared phenolics, carotenoids and antioxidative capacities among sweet potatoes of five colored varieties; white, yellow, orange, light purple and deep purple. The higher anthocyanin contents and antioxidant capacities were detected in purple sweet potato species, while higher carotenoid contents were detected in yellow and orange ones. The amount of TPC, TCC and TAC of this study were comparable to those reported in literature.
THE ROLE OF E LEARNING, SERVICE QUALITY AND UNIVERSITY BRAND IMAGE ON STUDENT SATISFACTION AT PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES IN BANDUNG DURING COVID-19

The COVID-19 outbreak experienced by all countries worldwide has a significant impact on all aspects of life. Higher education is shifting away from face-to-face practices and into online learning, also known as E-Learning. Many private universities in Indonesia, including those in Bandung, are vying to develop their E-Learning capability to recruit students to study on their campuses. This research aimed to look into E-Learning, technology service efficiency, and brand image on student satisfaction at private universities in Bandung. The study consists of students currently enrolled in numerous private universities. The study took a quantitative approach, with data evaluated using Smart PLS Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). This study's results show that Online study has a significant impact on student satisfaction. Student satisfaction is affected positively by the quality of electronic information technology services, and student satisfaction is influenced positively by the university's market identity. According to these reports' conclusions, private universities should follow these three criteria to compete in the highly fierce university rivalry.
Hands-on-Data: Artificial intelligence for the design of public policy in Latin America

Although data produced by governments are abundant, in developing countries data-informed public policy design and implementation is often more an aspiration than a reality. The Hands-on-Data (HoD) initiative is a successful practical experience that gathers several stakeholders (e.g., public servants, academia-and industry-based data scientists, and a multilateral financing institution) to prototype data science products addressing specific public sector needs in Latin American countries. The first edition of HoD took place in Argentina during the last quarter of 2018, and resulted in five prototypes that used artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to address narrowly defined public policy problems. Most importantly, HoD Argentina succeeded at organizing a seven-week task force consisting of public officials and data scientists, who extracted actionable knowledge from large datasets (e.g., administrative records) while ensuring anonymity and confidentiality of sensitive information. The policy domains analyzed in HoD Argentina were: work and labor, health, education, urban public transport, and accessibility in large cities. The short but intensive interaction between the public sector and data scientists sparked the interest of key stakeholders, and resulted in new co-creation initiatives that exceed the time frame of HoD. In this way, HoD acted as a stepping stone for new data collaborations. We discuss the relevant aspects behind the organization of this initiative, and we include summarized presentations of the five data science products that resulted from the first HoD.
Creating Teaching Module in PDF with Embedded Animations and Lecture Note

— The use of lecture video and animation has been increased especially for online and distance learning courses. There are two major problem when an online or a multipoint course is offered for the first time. First, producing lecture video and animation is not an easy task for instructors who are going to teach online course first time. Second, most instructors who are novice for producing such teaching modules rely on pre-existing learning resources. In many cases those pre-existing teaching resources are not matching with an individual instructor’s course level or pedagogy. This article shows detailed ‘how-to’ tutorials for mathematics instructors who is novice to produce (1) animation GIFs using GeoGebra, (2) PDFs with embedded animations, and (3) PDFs with embedded ‘paper-pencil’ style lecture videos with voice using smartpen as instructional tools.
