Lesbian, gay and bisexual people’s health in the UK: a theoretical critique and systematic review

Much has been written about the general relationship between social position and health. Far less is available on this relationship as it applies to the health of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGB&T) people. Whether the health of LGBT people is similar, better or worse in general than that of other members of the population, and the degree to which being LGBT contributes to health inequalities and inequities or intersects with other dimensions of social stratification and difference, is not well understood. As possibly as many as 6% of the UK population identify as LGBT, there could be important health consequences. This paper considers the theoretical aspects of social stratification, sexual orientation and health. It also reports the findings of a systematic review of physical and mental health research about LGBT people in the UK. This was analysed in the context of the relationship between health and social position. For the systematic review, MEDLINE, MEDLINE Inprocess, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Web of Science and Cochrane Library databases were searched between January 2000 andMay 2008. References were searched and experts were contacted. Included were UK studies enrolling LGBT participants with any physical or mental health measures, but not HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, sexual behaviour or health related to transitioning. Unpublished surveys involving more than 1000 participants were included. Inclusion decisions, data extraction and quality assessment were undertaken in duplicate. Quality assessment used established checklists appropriate to each study design. The results were tabulated and assessed narratively. From a total of2603 citations, five unpublished surveys and nine published papers were included. Studies were on transgender people’s health was available. The general trend of results for LGB people suggested worse health, particularly mental health and health behaviours. The lack of good-quality empirical information means that the interaction between the social position of LGBT people, other dimensions of social difference and the intersections between these dimensions and health outcomes is very difficult to describe. LGBT health needs are rarely highlighted beyond sexual health and HIV prevention, and adequate equity audit is not possible. This systematic review initiates improved consideration of the specific health needs of LGBT people and the th eoretical and empirical research that is needed to understand the health of LGBT people in the context of health inequalities.
Fuzzy Logic Control to Offer IntellectualTransfer Management Service & ProgressivePacket Arrivals for High-Speed Networks

In particular, we determine the conditions for optimality in terms of probability of successful delivery and mean delay and we devise optimal policies, so-called piecewise-threshold policies. We account for linear block-codes and rate less random linear coding to efficiently generate redundancy, as well as for an energy constraint in the optimization. We numerically assess the higher efficiency of piecewise-threshold policies compared with other policies by developing heuristic optimization of the thresholds for all flavors of coding considered.A dispersed traffic management framework, in which routers are deployed with intelligent data rate controllers to tackle the traffic mass. Unlike other explicit traffic control protocols that have to estimate network parameters (e.g., link latency, bottleneck bandwidth, packet loss rate, or the number of flows) in order to total the allowed source sending rate, our fuzzy-logic-based manager can measure the router queue size directly; hence it avoids various potential performance problems arising from parameter estimations while reducing much consumption of computation and memory resources in routers. As a network parameter, the queue size can be accurately monitored and used to proactively decide if action should be taken to regulate the source sending rate, thus increasing the resilience of the network to traffic congestion. The statement QoS (Quality of Service) is assured by the good performances of our scheme such as max-min fairness, low queueing delay and good robustness to network dynamics. Simulation results and comparisons have verified the effectiveness and showed that our new traffic management scheme can achieve better performances than the existing protocols that rely on the estimation of network parameters.

The effects of solo and combinatorial exposure to ethanolic extract of Annona squamosa Linn. leaves and mercuric acetate (MA) were studied in gestating ICR mice and their fetuses in-utero. Results show that mercuric acetate significantly increased maternal mortality and fetal resorption index while inducing decreased fetal size. Exposure of mercuric acetate and leaf extract doses significantly enhanced this effect. Solo exposure of ethanolic extract at 25 mg/kg body weight induced abortion and resorption of embryos to a lesser extent than combinatorial exposure. Lipid peroxidation assay reveal lower MDA values in liver and brain of maternal mice exposed to solo and combinatorial exposure but not with their fetal counterpart. Maternal mice and fetuses exposed to leaf extract of A. squamosa with MA show marked hepatic and neurologic histological injury similar to positive control. The results suggest that A. squamosa leaves have the potential to protect against mercuryinduced oxidative stress in maternal mice but may not be applied during gestation * Corresponding Author: Joycelyn C.

PROSOPIS CINERARIA LEAF EXTRACT PROTECT H2O2 INDUCED OXIDATIVE STRESS-INDUCED CELL DEATH IN SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE

Objective: Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells exposed to oxidant damage were used as in vitro model to assess the cytotoxic effect and apoptotic events in the presence and absence of the methanolic leaf extract of Prosopis cineraria. Methods: The cytotoxicity assays methyl - tetrazolium, sulforhodamine B (SRB) and lactate dehydrogenase and apoptosis related changes namely, morphological and nuclear changes by various staining techniques (Giemsa, propidium iodide [PI], ethidium bromide [EtBr] and 4’,6-diamidino‑2-phenylindole), and DNA damage (diphenylamine method) were assessed in S. cerevisiae cells with/without leaf extract and oxidant (hydrogen peroxide). Results: The results of the cytotoxicity assays and apoptotic study showed that H2O2 exposure in S. cerevisiae cells significantly decreased the viability of the cells. In leaf extract alone treated group, there was no significant reduction in the viability of the cells. When the leaf extract was co-treated with oxidant, there was an increase in the percent viability of the cells indicating that the extract was capable of protecting the cells from oxidative stress. Conclusion: The apoptosis-inducing effect of the oxidant was effectively counteracted by the presence of methanolic extract of P. cineraria leaves. Keywords: Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Oxidative stress, Cytotoxicity, DNA damage.

There is very little literature reporting about the natal or neonatal teeth in premature infants and its management. Through this article we wish to bring awareness about the presence of natal tooth and its complications in premature infants and why it needs immediate attention and prompt treatment.
A Comparative Analysis of Genetic Diversity in Genus Vigna savi Genotypes using ISSR

Molecular markers have great potential for use in quality control in breeding programme. The phylogenetic relationships of ten Vigna savi genotypes were analyzed by using inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) markers. The number of amplified fragments ranged from 5 (UBC 819) to 17 (UBC 821) which varied in size from 125 bp to 1500 bp. Amplification of genomic DNA of ten genotypes, using ISSR markers, yielded 37 fragments, of which 20 were polymorphic while the remaining were monomorphic in nature. Of the 37 amplified bands, 20 bands (54.05%) were polymorphic with an average of 6.66 polymorphic fragments per primer. ISSR based dendrogram indicated that ten genotypes were clustered into 3 clusters (I, II and III) with 6, 3 and 1 genotypes respectively. Cluster I comprised of 2 sub clusters that is Ia and Ib, thus all 6 genotypes are grouped together in cluster I. Cluster II comprised of 3 genotypes and cluster III comprised of only one genotype, that is, Vigna radiata (L) WilczekBM 4, which is significantly genetically different from all other Vigna radiata cultivars used in the present investigation and suggesting utilization of this species over others for improvement programme. In comparison to other species, Vigna radiata (L) WilczekNVL 1 showed better closeness with cluster Ia and Ib cultivars . The results of the present study can be seen as a starting point for future researches on the population and evolutionary genetics of these genotypes.

Bodily Changes And Coping Strategies Due To Adjuvant Anti-Hormonal Breast Cancer Therapy-A Focus Group Study Research

Breast cancer is the most common female cancer worldwide, and there has been an increase in incidence over the last decades (Stewart & Wild, 2014). The majority, up to 80 percent, of breast tumours are hormonereceptor positive, which means dependent on female sex hormones, to grow (Li, Daling, & Malone, 2003). In order to prevent recurrence, women with hormone-sensitive tumours are prescribed five or more years of antioestrogen treatment. Five years of treatment with tamoxifen reduces the recurrence rate by 39 percent over the first 10 years (Davies et al., 2011).

ADENOSINE DEAMINASE ACTIVITY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF TUBERCULOSIS PLEURAL EFFUSIONS: A DIAGNOSTIC ACCURACY STUDY

Background: the diagnosis of tuberculosis pleural effusion continues to be a challenge in clinical practice in many parts of the world. In part due to the use of diagnostic tools with poor sensitivity and specificity. Biomarkers of pleural effusion due to inflammation caused by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis such as adenosine deaminase activity has the potential to optimize the diagnostic approach of tuberculosis pleural effusion. Objective: to describe the diagnostic accuracy of adenosine deaminase activity among European Scientific Journal November 2014 edition vol.10, No.33 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e ISSN 18577431 98 adult patients with pleural effusion. Design: a chart-review cross-sectional study. Methods: we retrospectively reviewed patient charts from the Internal Medicine Department Ambulatory Center in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Buenos Aires, Argentina from june-1993 to december-1995. We included 91 patients with pleural exudates in which adenosine deaminase activity measurement was performed. We evaluated the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value, positive and negative likelihood ratios and accuracy of adenosine deaminase activity compared to the reference standard. Results: 34/91 pleural effusions were due to tuberculosis (39%). Mean +/SD pleural effusion adenosine deaminase activity levels were higher in the tuberculosis group vs. Non tuberculosis group (99.2 ± 37.4 U/l vs.51.6 ± 68.7, p< 0.0001). The best cutoff value for pleural fluid adenosine deaminase activity using ROC curve results (AUC=0,86) was 50 u/l yielding sensitivity (97%), specificity (70%), positive predicted value 67%, negative predicted value (97%), positive likelihood ratio (3.3) and negative likelihood ratio (.04). Conclusion: given the successful use of the adenosine deaminase activity test in pleural fluid, makes this test a highly recommended option for the diagnosis approach in tuberculosis pleural effusion.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CAPABILITY, ADOPTION, LOGISTICS SERVICE QUALITY AND THE PERFORMANCE OF THIRD PARTY LOGISTICS PROVIDERS

: The purpose of the study was to examine the relationships between IT capability, IT adoption, logistics service quality and performance of third party logistics firms in Uganda. The study was prompted by the delays in customs clearance; bureaucratic systems and lengthy cargo forwarding processes largely of manual nature that are evident among the activities of the third party logistics providers in Uganda. This could be attributed to lack of IT capability, low IT adoption and poor logistics service quality. A cross sectional data was collected from a sample of 80 registered clearing and forwarding firms in Uganda selected from a population of 109 firms using a simple random sampling technique. Data was collected using a close ended questionnaire. The results indicate significant positive relationships between IT capability, IT adoption, logistics service quality and performance of third party logistics firms. Findings also revealed that IT adoption and logistics service quality are significant predictors of the performance of the third party logistics providers. However, IT capability was found not to be a significant predictor of performance of third party logistics providers. Findings further revealed that IT adoption was a better significant predictor of the performance of third party logistics providers than logistics service quality. The research recommends that clearing and forwarding firms in Uganda need to adopt IT quicker and increase logistics service quality in order to improve on the performances of their clearing and forwarding operations especially in the areas of documentation, cargo tracking, warehousing, and shipment operations.

Lymph Node Tuberculosis

Lymph node tuberculosis (LNTB) is one of the commonest forms extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Though, the diagnosis is relatively easy because of accessibility, there are wide a wide differential diagnoses, which can mimic tuberculosis, that sometimes culture is required to diagnose tuberculous lymphadenitis. Amongst the older diagnostic tools mantoux test is a very important investigation for the diagnosis of LNTB. Availability of molecular technology has further improved the ease of diagnosis. Molecular techniques are also useful for the early detection of drug resistance. The diagnosis of mediastinal has also improved in the last decade due to advent of endobronchial ultrasound. The treatment is similar to pulmonary tuberculosis. However, paradoxical reaction, which is observed, in 10-15% of immune-competent and about 50% of human immunodeficiency virus positive patients needs a special mention for an appropriate management of LNTB.
The Impact of career development on employee commitment of Part-Time Faculty (PTF) in Hong Kong’s Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Sector

Aims: The development of knowledge-based economy in Hong Kong requires employees with higher education level and more up-to-date knowledge. Information and communication technology (ICT) industry has been growing rapidly which is important for building a knowledge-based economy by providing higher mobility of information, more efficient communication network and sharing of knowledge between business partners. In 2002 the HKSAR Government has set up a Continuing Education Fund to encourage employees in Hong Kong to improve their education and update their knowledge by enrolling into continuing professional development courses. This policy provides opportunities to courses providers to offer continuing professional development (CPD) courses. Since these CPD courses are provided after work so the courses are conducted by part-time faculty (PTF) and there is a need to recruit part-time staff in delivering these courses. Recruitment of PTF gives course providers the benefit of meeting their teaching needs economically and flexibly but educators have often expressed concern over whether Research Article British Journal of Education, Society & Behavioural Science, 4(1): 52-73, 2014 53 the performance of PTF is in anyway affected by the absence of career development opportunities. Study Design: This study was a quantitative study which used [1] five-component commitment model to examine the effects of the perception of value of career development (VCD) on the commitment components of PTF. Place and Duration of Study: The study was taken in Hong Kong between June 2011 and June 2012. Methodology: Sample data from a population of PTF working at the 450 registered CPD course providers in Hong Kong was collected from an online questionnaire. Finally 270 set of data collated together was analyzed by factor analysis, correlation tests and multiple regression respectively. Results: The results of this study suggest that perceived VCD was affirmed to have a significantly positive influence on employee commitment, while perception of the availability of career development opportunities was found to have a moderating effect on the association between perceived VCD and employee commitment. Conclusion: This study has both theoretical and managerial implications. The examination of the complicated relationship between career development and employee commitment of PTF in Hong Kong’s CPD industry can therefore serve as a useful reference point for both academic researchers and education managers. The findings can also help CPD institutes to formulate suitable human resource strategies for attracting and retaining well-qualified practitioners to become PTF.
Impact of small entrepreneurship on poverty alleviation and sustainable livelihood of street vendors

Street vendors go on an essential role to fulfill the demands of many urban rural dwellers as well as pedestrian across the country and all over the world. The aim of this study is to explore the dynamics of small entrepreneurship and its contribution to poverty alleviation and sustainable livelihood. A quantitative oriented qualitative mixed method has been applied in this study. The study reveals that a large number of people are directly and indirectly engaged with the street vendor profession and are contributing to the economy of Bangladesh. Three ideas constitute the central message of this study. Firstly, a large number of people are generating income through street vending by which the ways and means for developing street entrepreneurship. Secondly, this small entrepreneurship has a great contribution to poverty reduction and sustainable livelihood of many street vendors. Thirdly, this study has explored the obstacles faced by street vendors in Bangladesh. Some problems of city dwellers are created by street vending such as lack of formalization, weak management system, producing street garbage and gathering crowd on the footpath. By the implementation of the proper public management system, street vendors would become a role model for the national economy.

— Palmprint recognition has emerged as a substantial biometric based personal identification. Tow types of biometrics palmprint feature. high resolution feature that includes: minutia points, ridges and singular points that could be extracted for forensic applications. Moreover, low resolution feature such as wrinkles and principal lines which could be extracted for commercial applications. This paper uses 700nm spectral band PolyU hyperspectral palmprint database. Multiscale image transform: bandlet, ridgelet and 2D discrete wavelet have been applied to extract feature. The size of features are reduced by using principle component analysis and linear discriminate analysis. Feed-forward Back-propagation neural network is used as a classifier. The recognition rate accuracy shows that bandlet transform outperforms others.
Precooling techniques and applications for fruits and vegetables

after detachment from the parent plant. As living biological entities, they respire and transpire. Before harvest, when these perishable products are attached to the parent plant, losses due to respiration and transpiration are replaced by water, photosynthesis and minerals from the plant. After harvest, losses of respirable substrates and moisture are not replaced; therefore, deterioration occurs, soon followed by senescence. The physiological changes of respiration, transpiration and biosynthesis are affected by intrinsic (i.e. climacteric vs. Precooling techniques and applications for fruits and vegetables
