MOM TO MOM: ONLINE BREASTFEEDING ADVICE

OF DISSERTATION MOM TO MOM: ONLINE BREASTFEEDING ADVICE Exploring online support groups has gained more and more popularity in the last decade. Investigating the type of support messages users send each other has broadened the already extensive social support framework built in the last forty years. Mothers utilize online support for various topics, and a very common topic is breastfeeding. The perception of breastfeeding has changed throughout history with shifting beliefs and societal norms coupled with solid facts about its importance in the sustaining of infants. Online breastfeeding support has been previously explored through the categorization of types of support and themes within the interactions. This study extended this by investigating deeper into the advice solicitation patterns and directness of advice patterns. Results indicated that informational support most commonly was responded to support seekers. Support seekers utilized the requesting an opinion or information solicitation type most often when posting to the discussion board. Mothers most commonly offered storytelling as responses to posts and embedded advice within the stories.

Pediatric Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma Risk Factor For Analysis For Disease Free Survival

Abstract Context:The context of this study was epidemiology pediatric thyroid cancer in Bandung, Indonesia. Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate clinical characteristics and outcome between children and young adult patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) treated in our hospital. Settings and Design:This was a cohort retrospective study. Materials and Methods: The medical records of 144 patients with DTC who underwent thyroid surgery followed by radioiodine and thyroid hormone suppression were retrospectively reviewed. Thyroid cancers were diagnosed between January 2007 and December 2010. Participants consisted of 43 patients who were younger than 21 years old and 101 young adult patients (older than 21 years old but younger or equal to 40 years). The clinical characteristics and outcomes were analyzed and compared, and then, recurrence-free survival was evaluated using Kaplan–Meier methods. Statistical Analysis Used: Software R 3.3. 0 version for Windows was used in this study. Results: Female has higher tendency to have thyroid cancer than male (P = 0.006). Based on histopathology report, classic papillary thyroid cancer is the most common cancer type in children than young adult. However, there was no significant difference between two groups regarding thyroid cancer size and multifocality (P = 0.815 and P = 0.370). The risk of recurrent ratio of children to young adults is 3.88 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.38; 10.91). A similar result trend has been shown for sex type, histopathology type, number of nodules, surgical technique, and metastasis parameters (adjusted hazard ratio = 7.91, 95% CI 2.11; 29.67). Conclusions: DTC in children shows more aggressive behavior compared to young adult patients.
Consumption taxes, income distribution and poverty: Evidence from Kenya

No Poverty' and 'Reduced Inequalities' are two out of the 17 sustainable development goals of the United Nations. Nowadays, Kenya faces high levels of poverty and inequality: 36 percent of the population live below the poverty line and the Gini coefficient was 0.445 in 2015. Against this background, this paper investigates how consumption taxes can be used to reduce poverty and promote income equality in Kenya. Using econometric models we show the effect of consumption taxes on income inequality and on GDP per capita. In line with the literature, our findings confirm that consumption taxes are regressive. Thus, fiscal policy could reduce this consequence by using differentiated tax rates with lower rates applied to basic goods on which the poor spend a higher share of their disposable income. In Kenya, consumption tax revenue is positively related to the GDP per capita. This might point to a successful fiscal policy in Kenia that uses consumption tax revenue to provide essential facilities for the poor leading to an increase of overall welfare.
Personality Classification through Social Media Using Probabilistic Neural Network Algorithms

Today the internet creates a new generation with modern culture that uses digital media. Social media is one of the popular digital media. Facebook is one of the social media that is quite liked by young people. They are accustomed to conveying their thoughts and expression through social media. Text mining analysis can be used to classify one's personality through social media with the probabilistic neural network algorithm. The text can be taken from the status that is on Facebook. In this study, there are three stages, namely text processing, weighting, and probabilistic neural networks for determining classification. Text processing consists of several processes, namely: tokenization, stopword, and steaming. The results of the text processing in the form of text are given a weight value to each word by using the Term Inverse Document Frequent (TF / IDF) method. In the final stage, the Probabilistic Neural Network Algorithm is used to classify personalities. This study uses 25 respondents, with 10 data as training data, and 15 data as testing data. The results of this study reached an accuracy of 60%.
Comparison Of Effectiveness Of Antipsychotics In Schizophrenia: Second-Generation Versus The Irstgeneration.

BACKGROUND The choice of the antipsychotic medication is based upon the risks, benefits and the cost. There has been still a debate that which group of antipsychotics is overall better amongst the two so we planned this study with the objective to compare the efficacy of the 1st & 2nd generation antipsychotics for the treatment of schizophrenia. METHODS This RCT was conducted at in/out patient department of Psychiatry at a tertiary care hospital of Pakistan over the time period of six months. All the patients of schizophrenia between 18-50 years of age of either gender and all the socioeconomic groups were included in the study. Each patient was assessed with the Simpson-Angus Scale (SAS) for the EPS and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) for the schizophrenia at the baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks after starting the designated medication. RESULTS The mean age of the 350 patients included in the study was 34.25±16.74 years. One hundred and forty-eight (42.3%) patients were female and 202 (57.7%) were male. The overall response of 1st Generation & 2nd Generation antipsychotics was 51 (140) 36% and 135 (210) 64% respectively (p-value=0.00024). Sixty-three (45%) patients who were taking 1st Generation Antipsychotics had relapse of the disease as compared to the 29 (13.7%) patients who were taking the 2nd Generation antipsychotics. Dryness of mouth, sedation and EPS were the common side effects with the 1st generation antipsychotics while dryness of mouth, cardiac arrhythmias, and sexual dysfunction were the common side effects with the 2nd generation antipsychotics. CONCLUSIONS This study concluded that the 2nd generation antipsychotics were superior to the 1st generation antipsychotics among the patients of schizophrenia in terms of the success rate, relapse rate and the tolerability.
The effect of anesthetic (2-phenoxyethanol) application on some biochemical and hematological parameters in Russian sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii) and Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii) during transport

Experiments were carried out to determine the effect of 2-phenoxyethanol to reduce stress response during the transportation of Russian and Siberian sturgeons. In transportation experiment 1 (TE$_{1}$), Siberian sturgeons (687.2 ± 17.41 g) were stocked in tanks and transported for 90 min (stocking density = 65 ± 0.71 kg/$m^{3}$). Before transport, 0.5 mg/L 2-phenoxyethanol was applied to the first group (TE$_{1-A}$, n = 285) but not to the second group (TE$_{1-B}$, n = 287). In transportation experiment 2 (TE2), Russian sturgeons (1873 ± 159 g) were divided into two groups and stocked in tanks as they have a density of 60 ± 0.23 kg/m3 water. Before transport, 0.6 mg/L of 2-phenoxyethanol was applied to the first group (TE$_{2-A}$, n = 99), the second group (TE$_{2-B}$, n = 101) was left without application. During the 10 h of transport period (at the 2, 4, 6, and 8 h), 0.6 mg/L 2-phenoxyethanol was applied to the fish in the first group (TE2-A) every 2 h. The results revealed that plasma glucose and cortisol reached their highest level in the anesthetic-free groups (TE$_{1-B}$ and TE$_{2-B}$) during transportation in both experiments. There was no difference in the protein levels between anesthetic and anesthetic-free groups. In the TE$_{1-B}$ and TE$_{2-B}$, red blood cells and hematocrit decreased, neutrophils and white blood cells increased. However, no changes were observed in eosinophils and mean corpuscular volume between groups in both experiments. Lymphocyte increased in TE1-B in comparison to TE$_{1-A}$ and TE$_{1-BT}$, (before transport anesthetic-free fish in TE1). In addition, there was no change in levels of monocyte, hemoglobin, mean hemoglobin concentration (MCH) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) between TE$_{1-BT}$, TE$_{1-A} $, and TE$_{1-B. }$ Monocyte, hemoglobin, MCH, and MCHC increased in TE2-B compared with TE2-BT (before transport anesthetic-free fish in TE$_{2}$) and TE$_{2-A}$ but the lymphocyte count did not change. The results indicated that the use of anesthetic agent 2-phenoxyethanol during transfer reduced mortality rate (0% and 12.89% in TE$_{1-BA}$ and TE$_{1-B}$, respectively, and 2.02% and 15.84% in TE$_{2-A}$ and TE$_{2-B}$, respectively) and physiological stress in sturgeons.
Distributed output feedback control of decomposable LPV systems with delay and switching topology: application to consensus problem in multi-agent systems

This paper presents distributed output feedback control of a class of distributed linear parameter varying systems with switching topology and parameter varying time delay. To formulate the synthesis conditions for the distributed controller in terms of LMIs, the delay dependent bounded-real lemma based on parameter-dependent Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals is used. The efficacy of the result is illustrated by applying it to two real-world examples pertaining to the consensus problem of multi-agent systems.
Intrinsic and environmental stability issues of perovskite photovoltaics

Recent years have witnessed the fast development of perovskite photovoltaics and achievement of efficiency increase (now to over 25%). However, stability issues must be satisfactorily dealt with before its real application and commercialization. Environmental stability issues include moisture, oxygen, light, and heat. Moisture was the first recognized stability problem, and has been vastly investigated and successfully strategized in device design and fabrication. Unlike what people believed in the past, light and oxygen do affect the microstructure, electrical and photo-physical properties of perovskites and thus affect stability. Advanced encapsulation techniques might solve some of the stability issues (moisture and oxygen). However, the thermal stability issue has not yet been properly addressed. In addition, the intrinsic molecular dissociation and ion migration inside perovskites are also key issues affecting long-term stability of perovskite photovoltaics. This paper gives a timely review on the recent progress of all these intrinsic and environmental stability issues for perovskite photovoltaics and corresponding possible solutions.
Brachiopods from the Byrd Group (Cambrian Series 2, Stage 4) Central Transantarctic Mountains, East Antarctica: biostratigraphy, phylogeny and systematics

Brachiopods from Cambrian Series 2, Stage 4 carbonate strata of the Byrd Group in the Central Transantarctic Mountains, East Antarctica, are described for the first time. These include six lingulate, one paterinate and one rhynchonelliform taxon, including the new lingulate brachiopod Plicarmus wildi gen. et sp. nov. The biostratigraphy correlates closely to the brachiopods recently reported from the Xinji Formation (Shuiyu section) in North China, as well as brachiopods recovered from the Dailyatia odyssei Zone across the Arrowie Basin of South Australia. These findings also support the previously identified close palaeobiogeography of these regions. The first unambiguous example of the acrotretid brachiopod Eohadrotreta zhenbaensis Li & Holmer outside South China is also identified in the context of its ontogenetic stages. Well‐preserved specimens of the acrotheloid Schizopholis yorkensis (Holmer & Ushatinskaya) facilitate a new reconstruction of its musculature and visceral region. These data are synthesized into a new cladistic analysis that resolves Acrotheloidea as a well‐supported monophyletic clade and supports previous hypotheses of a morphocline in acrotheloid evolution.
Perspective of New Public Management and Governance toward Local Governments Accountability in Indonesia

This research review local governments accountability from the perspective of new public management (NPM) and governance. NPM risks to leave the function of public services for the poor and marginalized, therefore, a governance perspective improves weaknesses of the NPM movement. The New Public Management paradigm without accountability will risk it to leave the public interest. Accountability as a basic pillar of the Good Governance paradigm will overcome weaknesses that found in the previous paradigm. The main component to succeed the public accountability is the existence of an information transparency system. This transparency information is the basic capital that can be used to assess the performance of the public sector and to evaluate the accountability of public sector executors toward all their decisions and actions in which to which extent of the results/outcomes and impacts that are beneficial to the public. Keywords—NPM; governance; accountability
Experimental analysis of received signals strength in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and its effect on distance and position estimation

Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) is the measurement of the power in the radio signal and a parameter for distance‐based measurements. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is an advance implementation for Internet of Things (IoT). BLE beacons‐based indoor positioning systems provide an easy and energy‐efficient, low deployment cost solution for wide variety of applications including smart phones. This paper presents an in‐depth experimental study of BLE RSSI in a dense indoor environment. Due to noise, fluctuations in RSSI occur, which produces distance estimation error, which ultimately affect position estimation accuracy. The main objective of this paper is to know the variations in RSSI and develop a radio propagation model in order to minimize the distance estimation and position estimation error. Based on our real‐time experimental analysis using BLE modules, there is an average 1.32‐m position estimation error in the presence of 10‐dBm variation in RSSI. Moreover, we also observed that environmental specific radio propagation constants greatly affect distance and position estimation accuracy in BLE modules.
Analysis of differences in vegetation phenology cycle of abandoned farmland, using harmonic analysis of time-series vegetation indices data: the case of Gwangyang City, South Korea

ABSTRACT Globally, countries have experienced substantial increases in farmland abandonment. Although vegetation phenology is a key factor for the classification of land use, understanding of the phenological change of abandoned farmland is lacking. Using harmonic analysis of NDVI and NDWI extracted from Landsat imagery, this study investigates the distinctive phenological characteristics of abandoned farmland, which contrasts with that of three other agricultural types (paddy, agricultural field, orchard) in the study site of Gwangyang City in Jeollanam Province, South Korea. The results suggest that abandoned farmland has higher overall greenness coverage and overall water content in vegetation than the other uses. In terms of both indices, abandoned farmlands changed with relatively less fluctuation than those of other uses, suggesting the existence of constant and unmanaged vegetation from ecological succession, which differs from crop fields that undergo cultivation procedures. The significant harmonic components differed among agricultural types and vegetation indices. In paddy, NDVI was explained with multiple, higher-order harmonic components, while in other types only first-order components met the 5% statistical significance level. With NDWI, land types were more clearly discernible, because of the different cultivation procedures involving water: wet-field method (paddy), dryland farming (orchard, agricultural field), and no cultivation (abandoned farmland). The analysis confirms that harmonic analysis could be useful in discerning abandoned farmland among areas of active agricultural use and shows that the statistical significance of harmonic terms can be employed as indicators of different agricultural types. The observed pattern of the geographic distribution of abandoned farmland has policy implications for the promotion of sustainable reuse of marginal farmland.
Effect of phototherapy on serum calcium levels in neonates receiving phototherapy for neonatal jaundice

Background: To study the occurrence of hypocalcaemia in neonates with physiological unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia after 48 hours of phototherapy or at the end of phototherapy, in case duration of phototherapy was less than 48 hours. Methods: This prospective study was conducted on 100 term neonates (61 males and 39 females) admitted to Neonatal intensive care unit of Teerthankar Mahaveer Medical College, Moradabad with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia and requiring phototherapy. Total Serum bilirubin levels and serum calcium levels were checked before and after phototherapy. Neonates were assessed for clinical features of hypocalcemia i.e. jitteriness, irritability/excitability, lethargy and convulsions. Results: After phototherapy, there was hypocalcemia in 35.0% neonates. The difference between pre and post phototherapy serum calcium levels were found to be statistically significant (p <0.001). 2.86% of neonates developed jitteriness among those who had hypocalcemia. Hypocalcemia was more in subjects who received phototherapy for longer duration. Conclusions: Hypocalcaemia is a common complication of phototherapy. Therefore, calcium supplementation should be done in all neonates undergoing phototherapy.
Mechanisms and evolution of prezygotic reproductive isolation in the parasitoid wasp genus Nasonia

Reproductive interference is a common phenomenon in nature. During reproductive encounters, females and males of different species frequently engage in interspecific reproductive behaviours resulting in fitness costs for either one or both of the two individuals. Reproductive interference usually involves mistakes made by the individuals in the process of species recognition during mate choice. These mistakes include, among others, the attraction of the wrong mating partner owing to signal interference, misdirected courtship owing to false male mate recognition, and interspecific copulation owing to mistakes in female mate discrimination. In insects, species recognition is largely based on chemical messengers, but may also involve acoustic or visual cues. The costs resulting from reproductive interference include the time and energy wasted in interactions with inadequate mating partners and the production of unfit or nonviable offspring. As a consequence of these costs, individuals that are able to avoid them should be favoured by natural selection. The evolution of strengthened prezygotic reproductive isolation mechanisms through natural selection is called reinforcement and includes a variety of mechanisms such as, among others, temporal or spatial divergence of mating, divergence in male reproductive behaviour, increased species discrimination and a shift in the messengers used during mate recognition. In this thesis, I investigated the mechanisms and evolution of prezygotic reproductive isolation by reinforcement in species of the parasitoid wasp genus Nasonia (Hymenoptera, Pteromalidae). I show that the Nasonia species differ in various aspects of their reproductive behaviour and communication. The behaviour of males at the natal host patch differs profoundly among the Nasonia species and is characterised in detail in the two species N. vitripennis and N. giraulti. I further show that males of these two species use different chemical messengers to recognise conspecific mating partners. In addition, I show that females of N. longicornis, but not those of N. vitripennis, are able to adjust their mate acceptance behaviour in response to the actual presence or absence of heterospecific males. Finally, I investigated reinforcement directly by establishing artificial sympatry between the two naturally allopatric species N. longicornis and N. giraulti. I argue that species differences observed at present have likely evolved by reinforcement of prezygotic reproductive isolation in the past and discuss how divergent species characteristics likely help the species to co-exist in microsympatry in nature.
