Epidemiologic Study of Cervical Swab Culture in Preterm Premature Rupture of Membrane (PPROM) at Ramathibodi Hospital

Objective To investigate the incidence and results of cervical swab culture in pregnant women with preterm premature rupture of membrane (PPROM) at Ramathibodi Hospital and their management. Study design Retrospective descriptive study. Setting Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University. Subjects 161 pregnant women who were diagnosed as PPROM and admitted into labor room at Ramathibodi Hospital during January 2003 and September 2006. Main outcomes Rate of cervical swab culture among cases of PPROM, types of organisms found and management compared with management protocol of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Ramathibodi Hospital. Results Cervical swab culture was done in 64.7% of pregnant women with PPROM and 82% of cases received antibiotics. The most common organism was Gardnerella vaginalis (34.8%). Group B Streptococcus (GBS) colonization was found in 6.8% of cases. One case of newborn was dead from GBS infection. Conclusion The rate of GBS colonization was low in comparison with other studies. The rate of performing swab culture and prescribing antibiotics were not consistent with management protocol of Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Ramathibodi Hospital. Management protocol should be improved in system implementation and compliance of personnel.
Genetic Mutations Associated with Breast Cancer in Pakistan

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide. Various environmental and genetic factors are involved in breast carcinogenesis. Mutations in autosomal dominant genes account for 5-10% of breast cancer cases. It is also the most common female malignancy in Pakistan and account for 35.6% of all cancers in women. BRCA1 and BRCA2 are the key genes associated with familial and early-onset breast cancer in Pakistan. However, mutation in TP53, RAD51 and CHEK2 genes play the marginal role. In this review, the spectrums of genetic mutations associated with breast cancer in Pakistan are discussed in detail. Handle: http://hdl.handle. net/20.500. 11903/mjmbr.v2n3. 20
Routine Health Management Information Use in the Public Health Sector in Tharaka Nithi County, Kenya.

Health information systems are foundations of health systems. Despite their essential benefits at facility level, health workers spend 40% or more of their time filling in HIS forms but may make little or no use of information for decision making. Health Information use is determined by multiple factors. This study aimed at establishing the technical, organizational and behavioral factors influencing Health Information use in the public health sector in Tharaka Nithi County. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 41 respondents in 16 public health facilities in Tharaka Nithi County. Data was collected using researcher administered questionnaires. Lack of staff competence, multiple HIS tools, lack of computers, lack of information use culture promotion, lack of support of staff training in HIS skills, lack of support supervision on information use, lack of staff motivation and recognition for well done job, were the factors influencing Health Information use. The study concludes: provision of technical, organizational and behavioral factors for health information use in fact-based decisions in Tharaka Nithi County.
Classroom Social Environment as Student Emotions' Antecedent: Mediating Role of Achievement Goals

Abstract In line with assumptions made by the control-value theory of academic emotions, it was hypothesized that the association between the classroom social environment, in terms of students’ perceptions of their teachers’ interpersonal behaviour, and students’ academic emotions was partially mediated by students’ achievement goals. The present study applied multilevel structural equation modelling on questionnaire data from a sample of 2000 Chinese secondary school students. As assumed, achievement goals partially mediated the association between the classroom social environment and student emotions. Further, results indicated that the classroom social environment was more closely associated with student emotions than student goals were. The findings of this study add to the understanding of the antecedents of students’ emotions in class.
Neurobiology of Sleep and Circadian Rhythms Comparing the cardiac autonomic activity pro ﬁ le of daytime naps and nighttime sleep

Heart rate variability (HRV) is a reliable technique to evaluate autonomic activity and shows marked changes across a night of sleep. Previous nighttime sleep ﬁ ndings report changes in HRV during non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM), which have been associated with cardiovascular health bene ﬁ ts. Daytime sleep, however, has been linked with both positive and negative cardiovascular outcomes. Yet, no studies have directly compared HRV pro ﬁ les during an ecologically-valid daytime nap in healthy, well-rested adults to that of nighttime sleep. Using a within-subjects design, 32 people took a daytime nap and slept overnight in the lab at least one week apart; both sleep sessions had polysomnography, including electrocardiography (ECG), recorded. We measured inter-beat intervals (RR), total power (TP), low frequency power (LF; .04 – .15Hz), and high frequency power (HF; .15 – .40Hz) components of HRV during NREM and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Compared to the nap, we found longer RR intervals and decreased heart rate during the night for both Stage 2 and SWS and increased TP, LF and HF power during nighttime Stage 2 sleep only; however, no di ﬀ erences in the LFHF ratio or nor- malized HF power were found between the nap and the night. Also, no di ﬀ erences in REM sleep between the nap and night were detected. Similar relationships emerged when comparing the nap to one cycle of nighttime sleep. These ﬁ ndings suggest that longer daytime naps, with both SWS and REM, may provide similar cardiovascular bene ﬁ ts as nocturnal sleep. In light of the on-going debate surrounding the health bene ﬁ ts and/or risks asso- ciated with napping, these results suggest that longer daytime naps in young, healthy adults may support cardiac down-regulation similar to nighttime sleep. In addition, napping paradigms may serve as tools to explore sleep- related changes in autonomic activity in both healthy and at-risk populations.
Subcellular localization of glypican-5 associates with dynamic cell motility and cell communication of the human mesenchymal stem cell line U3DT

Glypican-5 (GPC5) is a heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) localized to the plasma membrane. We previously reported that in the human mesenchymal stem cell line UE6E7T3, GPC5 is overexpressed in association with transformation and promotes cell proliferation by acting as a co-receptor for Sonic hedgehog signaling. In this study, we found using an immunofluorescence microscopy that in transformed cells (U3DT), GPC5 localized not only at primary cilia on the cell surface, but also at the leading edge of migrating cells, at the intercellular bridge and blebs during cytokinesis, and in extracellular vesicles. In each subcellular region, GPC5 colocalized with the small GTPase Rab11. These observations suggest that the colocalization of GPC5 with Rab11 is crucial for its function, and that its activity in each subcellular compartment promotes proliferation of U3DT cells. Our findings indicate that GPC5 plays active and essential roles in regulation of U3DT cell proliferation, and provides several insights into the functions of GPC5 that could be elucidated by future studies.

Evaluation of Implementation Program for Giving Additional Recovery Food for Bad Nutrition Children in the 2017 Manokwari District, Masni Health Center

Background: Masni Health Center is one of the Puskesmas in the Manokwari District Government area, with 98 underweight children (BB / TB <SD) as many children, and the highest in Manokwari district. While since 2011, the government through the Ministry of Health has issued Guidelines for the Supplemental Food Recovery for children with malnutrition with BOK funds. Before this, the provision of additional food for recovery had been carried out to improve the nutritional status of children under five. The aim of the study was to evaluate the implementation of an additional food recovery program for malnourished children in the Masni health center. The research methodology was a qualitative descriptive study with a case study approach, which took place at the Masni Health Center in Manokwari Regency, on October 9 to November 9, 2018, with 3 informants as main informants, and 2 triangular informants. The results of the research from the input aspect have been carried out in accordance with the guidelines of the Ministry of Health, 2011, only at the method stage which did not work in accordance with the guidelines. U for aspects of the process at the preparation stage is not maximal, in terms of determining foodstuffs and the formation of toddler groups. Foodstuffs used for PMT are not local food but manufacturers, at the stage of implementation and monitoring, have proceeded in accordance with the guidelines, the stages for recording and reporting, routine recording is carried out every month and reporting to the Puskesmas only, then reports to the Health Office are not smooth, often rapel. While for the output aspect of the activity scope, out of 21 children who received 100% PMT recovery received PMT for 3 months. In terms of targeting accuracy, distribution and time are in accordance with the guidelines.
“It’s more than just a game”: NCCAA Division II student-athletes’ perceptions of coach caring

The construct of care within the coach–athlete relationship has only recently been examined. However, this research has yet to include athletes’ perceptions of caring coaching practice. Thus, the primary purpose of the current study was to examine self-described Christian student-athletes’ perceptions of coach caring practices. Therefore, the guiding research questions were: (a) in what ways do student-athletes feel that their coaches demonstrate care? (b) In what ways have student-athletes’ religion/spirituality shaped the way they understand and perceive care? (c) Does proximity to a caring coach practice—that is, those who are still competing versus those who have graduated—influence the ways in which student-athletes view coach caring? Eleven current and former student-athletes (mean age = 26 years; seven males, four females) from four different sports (basketball, cross country, soccer, and tennis) at one NCCAA school were interviewed. Data analysis was conducted by a six-person research team using Consensual Qualitative Research. Five domains were constructed to represent Christian University 1 student-athlete perceptions of: (I) how they learned coach caring, (II) how they defined a lack of coach caring, (III) how they defined coach caring, (IV) how they perceived the expression of the caring climate, and (V) how they perceived the expression of the Christian caring climate.

Assessment of a multimodal analgesia protocol in goats undergoing claw amputation

Objective: To evaluate the anti-nociceptive, sedative and behavioral effect of multimodal analgesic drugs in goat's undergoing unilateral claw amputation. Design: A randomized experimental design. Animals: Sixteen goats were randomly assigned into 4 groups (4 bucks per group). Procedure: Animals used in this study were randomly assigned into 4 groups, four animals for each group. All goats were anaesthetized by intravenous regional anesthesia (IVRA) of the right forelimb cephalic vein with 2% lidocaine in a dose of 3mg/kg body weight (BW) before surgery. Administration of carprofen (50 mg/ml) at a dose 0.1 mg/kg BW took place before surgery on day 0 and was then repeated once daily for another 3 consecutive days postoperatively in groups Lidocaine (L), carprofen_lidocaine (CL), carprofen – romifidine - lidocaine (CRL), and carprofen – romifidine - butorphenol - lidocaine (CRBL). Heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), rectal temperature (RT), serum IL-6 level, sedation score, and lameness score were determined at preset time intervals and the animals’ behavior was recorded. Results: The mean average of HR, RR and RT in IVRA treated animals was significantly increased until the end of surgery followed by gradual decrease up to 90 min post-surgery. In CRL and CRBL it showed a significant decrease compared to controls. There was a significant decrease in lameness score in CRL and CRBL treated animals from 30 min until 2 hours and for 3 days post-surgery. After injection of romifidine it showed a significant decrease of IL-6 levels compared to lidocaine and CL treated animals. Conclusion and clinical relevance: It was concluded that, the use of romifidine and buterphanol in the analgesic protocol during claw amputation in goats, alleviate pain response and potentiate the analgesic effects of IVRA. Addition of carprofen to the analgesic protocol can be used for long- term treatment of orthopedic pain in goats without complications.
Religious education teachers’ perspectives on character education

ABSTRACT This article presents the findings of a qualitative interview study undertaken with RE teachers (n = 30), working in English schools with secondary status. Despite recent policy interest in character education, there is a lacuna of information about the extent RE contributes to character education. The present study focuses on teachers’ perspectives on virtue literacy, a theme identified across participants in response to open-ended prompts about RE, religion and character. The participants in the sample hold different worldviews and work across a range of schools, providing a variety of informative perspectives. There were clear differences between the responses of participants’ from faith and non-faith schools regarding the contribution of RE to pupils’ virtue literacy. These findings mark a distinctive contribution to our understanding of the differences between RE in faith and non-faith schools.
A novel coupled FDM‐DEM modelling method for flexible membrane boundary in laboratory tests

Difficulties are involved in discrete element method (DEM) modelling of the flexible boundary, that is, the membranes covering the soil sample, which can be commonly found in contemporary laboratory soil tests. In this paper, a novel method is proposed wherein the finite difference method (FDM) and DEM are coupled to simulate the rubber membrane and soil body, respectively. Numerical plane strain and triaxial tests, served by the flexible membrane, are implemented and analysed later. The effect of the membrane modulus on the measurement accuracy is considered, with analytical formulae derived to judge the significance of this effect. Based on an analysis of stress‐strain responses and the grain rotation field, the mechanical performances produced by the flexible and rigid lateral boundaries are compared for the plane strain test. The results show that (1) the effect of the membrane on the test result becomes more significant at larger strain level because the membrane applies additional lateral confining pressure to the soil body; (2) the tested models reproduce typical stress and volumetric paths for specimens with shear bands; (3) for the plane strain test, the rigid lateral boundary derives a much higher peak strength and larger bulk dilatation, but a similar residual strength, compared with the flexible boundary. The latter produces a more uniform (or ‘diffuse') rotation field and more mobilised local kinematics than does the former. All simulations show that the proposed FDM‐DEM coupling method is able to simulate laboratory tests with a flexible boundary membrane.
Cytologic and colposcopic evaluation of all symptomatic women at tertiary care centre

Background: Cervical cancer in India ranks as the 2 nd most frequent cancer among women and the 2 nd most frequent cancer among women between 15 and 44 years of age. Invasive carcinoma of cervix is preventable as it is associated with pre-invasive stage which occurs 10-15 years prior to it, thus permitting early detection by screening and leading to effective treatment and thereby reducing mortality rate with greater impact on lives saved. Objectives were to correlate the findings of Pap smear with colposcopy in evaluation of all symptomatic women; and to assess the utility of colposcopy in detecting the premalignant and malignant lesions of cervix. Methods: This was a prospective observational study of 200 symptomatic women attending the Gynecology OPD of Umaid Hospital Dr. S. N. Medical College Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India from February 2015 to October 2016. Evaluation of all symptomatic women done with Pap smear, colposcopy and biopsy in selected cases and findings were noted. Results: Commonest complaint was white discharge per vaginum in 58.5% followed by pelvic pain in 24% women. 8% women had abnormal pap smear findings with 4% of women had ASCUS, 0.5% had ASC-H, 3% had LSIL and 0.5% had HSIL,73% had inflammatory and 19% with normal smear. 38.5% had abnormal colposcopy with maximum 28% women had acetowhite lesions. Sensitivity of pap smear was 44.44% while sensitivity of colposcopy was 88.88%. Conclusions: Pap smear had poor sensitivity as compared to colposcopy. Hence simultaneous use of colposcopy has shown to increase in the rate of carcinoma cervix detection in symptomatic women.
Seasonal variations affect the physical and chemical parameters of inland waters: a case study of Warri River in Nigeria

The Niger-Delta area in Nigeria is rich with rivers, swamps and creeks that are often subject to various forms of pollution. The effect of seasonal variations on the physical and chemical conditions of Warri River was studied in 2015. Temperature and pH values across all seasons fell within the optimum range formost aquatic organisms. Meanwhile, total dissolved solids exceeded the World Health Organization (WHO) permissible limit, especially during the dry season; indicating possible pollution from inorganic salts, organic matter and other dissolved materials in the water. The low dissolved oxygen value recorded was expected due to the high levels of dissolved solids recorded in the river. Lastly, phosphate, nitrate and sulphate concentrations recorded were below the WHO permissible limits. The chemical and biological parameters recorded indicate that the Warri River poses minimal threat to human and animal life.
The Humboldtian ideal meets employability? University teachers and the teaching–research relationship in marketized higher education

This study examines how university teachers in two Swedish higher education institutions grapple with the challenge of connecting research and teaching. With the increasing pressure in higher education to improve graduate employability, teaching is expected to include skills-oriented, vocational training which may (or may not) conflict with the more traditional Humboldtian ideal, in which teaching is built on research. Drawing on the rich bodies of literatures on employability and the teaching–research relationship, the authors find that university teachers practice the relationship in four ways: by using scientific articles in the curriculum; by teaching students a critical research attitude; by lecturing about their own research results; and by relying on the formal skills of fellow teachers. These practices of establishing a close connection between teaching and research are, this study suggests, met with resistance from colleagues, who are perceived to favor vocational training and emphasize employability; from students, who are also perceived to worry about employability; and finally from other policies that target partially conflicting objectives, including those for employability.
ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK BASE SHORT-TERM ELECTRICITY LOAD FORECASTING: A CASE STUDY OF A 132/33KV TRANSMISSION SUB-STATION

Forecasting of electrical load is extremely important for the effective and efficient operation of any power system. Good forecasts results help in minimizing the risk in decision making and reduces the costs of operating the power plant. This work focuses on the short-term load forecast of the 132/33KV transmission sub-station at Port-Harcourt, Nigeria, using the Artificial Neural Network (ANN). It provides accurate week-ahead load forecast using hourly load data of previous weeks. ANN has three sections namely; input, processing and output sections. There are four input parameters for the input section which are historical hourly load data (in MW), time of the day (in hours), days of the week and weekend while the output parameter after the processing (i.e. training, validation and test) is the next week hourly load predicted for the entire system. The technique used is the artificial neural network with the aid of MATLAB software. It was proven to be a good forecast method as it resulted in R-value of 0.988 which gives a mean absolute deviation (MAD) of 0.104 and mean squared error (MSE) of 0.27.
