Investigating perspectives on e-health interventions to enhance maternal mental well-being: Results of a stakeholder interview

Peripartum mental disorders are highly prevalent conditions and associated with adverse outcomes for the mother, the infant and the whole family. Despite the high burden, help-seeking is low. E-mental health interventions could overcome help-seeking barriers and thus improve perinatal mental health. However, usage and adherence are rather low. This study aims to assess attitudes and needs of different stakeholder groups and to identify relevant topics to develop an intervention meeting the needs of pregnant and postpartum women and thus, increasing utilization and adherence. Therefore, semi-structured interviews and focus groups with pregnant women (n = 3), mothers (n = 4), women who have suffered from a postpartum mood disorder in the past (n = 5), gynaecologists (n = 5), and midwives (n = 5) were conducted. All interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using a thematic analysis. Almost half of the stakeholders reported previous experiences with e-mental health services. Anonymity, flexibility, promoting help-seeking, or bridging waiting-time for treatment as usual were regarded as the main benefits. Concerns regarding the usefulness of e-mental health interventions, absence of face-to-face contact or lack of integration into routine care were considered as barriers. With regard to the desired program content, six main topics were identified: pregnancy and puerperium, peripartum mood swings and disorders, support options, self-care, partnership, and fatherhood. Regarding preferred characteristics of e-mental health programs, stakeholders mentioned customizability, individual guidance, evaluation of user-feedback and continuous adoption, as well as a responsive and user-friendly design. Overall, online interventions for perinatal mental health were mainly considered as beneficial. Stakeholders underlined the high need for education regarding the use and effectiveness of e-mental health, to overcome concerns and obstacles and improve acceptability. Furthermore, developing customizable and individually-guided interventions were considered as promising to increase utilization of and adherence to e-mental health interventions.
Contested terrain : the transformation of the workplace in the twentieth century

Fortunately for those who continue to place faith in representative government and to have doubts about the power of public sector unions, the author's methodology and findings leave more than a shred of hope. Clearly, it is ambitious to attempt to prove anything on the basis of a longitudinal analysis of experience in one school system. In addition, the author's interpretations of the results of his historical analysis are highly questionable. He presents data on average teacher salary, for example, that show an increase in money wages from about $3500 to about $7500 during the reform era (1946 -76) as compared with an increase from $7500 to $17,000 during the union era (1966 -78), resulting in real wage increases of about 67 percent during the reform era and 20 percent during the union era (p. 63), on the basis of which he concludes:

In particular it is intended as a summary of the authors own publications.
Alabama Highway Drainage Conservation Design Practices - Particulate Transport in Grass Swales and Grass Filters

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Alabama has been conducting research on the effectiveness of grass swales for stormwater sediment transport to quantify swale hydraulic and sediment transport under relatively small flows. This research was supported by the Water Environment Research Foundation and the University Transportation Center of Alabama (this reported research). Grass swales are vegetated open channels that collect and transport stormwater runoff, which can be used as alternatives to concrete gutters for stormwater management, because of their advantages of infiltration and filtration of stormwater. The objective of this research was to understand the effectiveness of grass swales in sediment transport and the associated effects of different swale and hydraulic variables, and to develop a predictive model. To achieve these objectives, experimental grass swales were constructed and tested in an indoor greenhouse facility. The variables tested in the experiments were slope, grass type, depth of flow, sampling time, and length of swales. A water-sediment mixture with a known sediment concentration of sieved sands and fine particles of silica was used to analyze the variables. During the preliminary set of controlled experiments, 108 samples were collected and analyzed for turbidity, total solids, and particle size distributions to investigate the effects of the experimental variables. After completing the initial tests, a second set of controlled experiments was conducted. During this second set of tests, 108 samples were collected and analyzed for turbidity, total solids, total suspended solids, total dissolved solids, and particle size distribution. To examine how the results obtained from the indoor swale experiments could be applied to full-scale swales, sediment samples were collected during storm events at an outdoor grass swale located near the City Hall of Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Sixty-nine samples collected during 13 storm events from August to December 2004 were analyzed for turbidity, total solids, total dissolved solids, and particle size distributions. The total suspended solids concentrations observed during rain events showed significant sediment reductions as a function of swale length. The particle size distributions of the suspended solids at the outdoor swale site showed preferential transport of small particles for all lengths of the swale, and preferential trapping of large particles.
Issues and Opinion on Structural Equation Modeling

In the past few years, the IS field has seen a substantial increase in the number of submissions and publications using structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques. Part of the reason may be the increase in software packages to perform such covariance-based (e.g., LISREL, EQS, AMOS, SEPATH, RAMONA, MX, and CALIS) and componentbased (e.g., PLS-PC, PLS-Graph) analysis. Viewed as a coupling of two traditions -an econometric perspective focusing on prediction and a psychometric emphasis that models concepts as latent (unobserved) variables that are indirectly inferred from multiple observed measures (alternately termed as indicators or manifest variables) -SEM has allowed social scientists to perform path analytic modeling with latent variables (Lvs), which in turn has led some to describe this approach as an example of “a second generation of multivariate analysis” (Fornell 1987, p. 408).
The Contents and Distributions of Copper,Zinc,Cadmium and Lead in Sediments of Kagoshima Bay

The acid decomposition sequential extraction procedure for determination of heavy metals has been applied to a marine sediments collected from Kagoshima Bay. This research was performed using flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). Copper, zinc, cadmium and lead in the sediments extracts were determined by FAAS, and we were investigated their distributions. The contents of copper, zinc, cadmium and lead in surface sediments were different in a small area. However, its vertical distributions showed higher concentrations excluding copper m the northern than in the southern area. A higher degree of positive correlation was found among the contents of copper, zinc, cadmium and lead in sediments of the southern area ; however, this type of closed correlation was not observed in the northern area. This was considered that factors such as urbanization activities around Kagoshima City, geological circumstances and submarine volcanic activity of northern Kagoshima Bay have produced significant changes in the sediments of Kagoshima Bay.
Pan-African age of the Gamburtsev Mountains?

40 Ar/ 39 Ar analyses of individual hornblende grains, laser ablation U-Pb analyses of individual zircon grains, and Nd isotope analyses of bulk sediments from downcore samples. Zircon U-Pb ages of samples with Eocene depositional ages (deposited by braided river systems prior to the build-up of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet) show a prominent population peak at 500-550 Ma, reflecting the pan-African orogeny, which resulted in the final amalgamation of Gondwana. Additionally a second tectono-thermal event is revealed at 850-1050 Ma, in agreement with published UPb zircon data on outcrop samples from the Prydz Bay area. Hornblende grains from the same samples have a clear panAfrican age cluster around 500 Ma. This age structure is found in modern diamicts around the Prydz Bay area and in Pliocene to Pleistocene diamicts at Site 1166. Neodymium isotopes at Site 1166 show a negative shift from values averaging eNd = –14.9 for alluvial and shallow marine sandstones of Oligocene to Eocene age to values around eNd = – 17.5 for Pliocene to Pleistocene diamicts. We suggest that our results exclude the likelihood that the Gamburtsev Mountains are a young (<500 Ma) volcanic orogen. From the current dataset we tentatively conclude a pan-African origin of the Gamburtsev Mountains.
The Geomorphology and Geoconservation Significance of Lake Pedder

Lake Pedder is important not just for its aesthetic, recreational, wilderness and biological values, but also for the intrinsic and scientific value of its landforms. This facet of the Pedder environment was never taken into account during the decision-making process prior to construction of the dams that inundated the area. The objectives of this paper are to provide an accessible documentation of those landform values, and to assess their geoconservation significance.
Reliability Studies of Nb/AlOx/Al/Nb Josephson Junctions Through Accelerated-Life Electrical Stress Testing

Reliability studies have been performed on Nb/AlOx/Al/Nb trilayer Josephson junctions with a critical current density of 100 μA/μm2 with emphasis on reliability of the thin AlOx dielectric tunnel barrier. High current stress tests at 4.2 K involving ramp-to-failure and time-dependent stress profiles have been used to accelerate the barrier degradation process while monitoring changes through dc characterization of the tunnel junctions. Tunneling characteristics of the junctions have been found to deteriorate with increasing stress magnitudes, suggesting breakdown mechanisms depending on the magnitude and polarity of the applied stress or the time-duration of applied stress. The typically observed stress effects can be ascribed to a reduction in the effective barrier thickness or increase in barrier transparency, and corresponding to the formation of conduction channels through the barrier above a threshold stress current. Significant stress current polarity dependence has been observed and described.
Redox processes in sulfide minerals

The mobility and availability of arsenite, As(III), in anoxic environments is largely controlled by adsorption onto iron sulfides and/or precipitation of arsenic in solid phases. The interaction of As(III) with synthetic mackinawite (FeSm) in pH 5 and 9 suspensions was investigated using high-angle annular dark field (HAADF) scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), STEM elemental mapping, high resolution TEM, and Xray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). At pH 5, arsenic sulfide phases precipitate among the FeSm particles as discrete particles that are an amorphous hydrous phase of arsenic sulfide. The oxidation state of As in the surface layers of the arsenic sulfide precipitates is ‘realgar-like’ based on XPS results showing that >75% of the As 3d peak area is due to As with oxidation states between 0 and 2+. Discrete, arsenic sulfide precipitates are absent at pH 9, but elemental mapping in STEM-EDX mode shows that arsenic is uniformly distributed on the FeSm, suggesting that uptake is caused by the sorption of

The apparatus makes a topographical map of the surface of a semiconductor wafer to identify a high area on the surface; positions polishing apparatus over and in contact with the elevated area; and, moves the polishing apparatus and/or the wafer to polish selectively only the elevated area of the wafer surface.
NOVEL THERMO-PVD CONSOLIDATION TECHNIQUE FOR SOFT SOILS

Previous research efforts on investigating the thermo-hydro-mechanical behaviour of fine grained soils as well as recent extensive experiments conducted on soft Bangkok clay have demonstrated that saturated fine-grained soils subjected to temperature less than boiling point of water (100OC) undergo volumetric and shear strength changes depending on the stress history. These features encouraged employing the thermal load only, up to 90OC, or in combination with mechanical loading as ground improvement technique. This paper addressed the applicability of this technique through a series of large oedometer tests conducted on soft Bangkok clay. Heating was achieved using flexible wire heater attached to the PVD point or using separate line heat source. The clay has been subjected to either thermal load or thermo-mechanical load. The test results show that a combination of the thermal and mechanical load gives promising results and is a viable technique since it accelerates the rate of consolidation and increases the amount of total settlement. This behavior can be attributed to the increase in the soil hydraulic conductivity as the soil temperature increases. Therefore, raising the soil temperature during the preloading period can enhance the performance of the PVD, particularly, by reducing the drainage retardation effects due to the smear zone around PVD.
An analysis of the hydrologic effects of proposed test drilling in the Winema National Forest near Crater Lake, Oregon

This paper describes the results of a preliminary study on the hydrologic regime underlying the Crater Lake Caldera, Oregon. The study was performed to provide a basis for evaluating the potential for polluting Crater Lake by drilling exploratory boreholes on the flanks of the mountain. A simple conceptual model of the hydrologic regime was developed by synthesizing the data from the region surrounding the Caldera. Based on the conceptual model, a series of numerical simulations aimed at establishing the basic groundwater flow patterns under and surrounding the lake were performed. In addition to the numerical simulations, we used simple volumetric techniques for estimating the distance that drilling mud would migrate away from the borehole if drilling proceeded without drilling fluid returns. Based on our calculations that show the regional flow of groundwater will oppose the flow of drilling mud toward the lake, and based on our volumetric estimate of drilling mud migration, our study concludes that drilling without returns will not pollute Crater Lake, nor will it affect the hydrologic regime in the immediate vicinity of the Crater Lake Caldera.
Obesity among Pff-reserve First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples in Canada’s Provinces: Associated Factors and Secular Trends

Aboriginal Canadians (First Nations, Metis, and Inuit) have the highest prevalence of overweight and obesity compared to other ethnic groups in Canada. In order to assess the evolution of the problem over time and to understand potential risk factors, three studies were conducted using nationally-representative survey data. Direct comparisons between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Canadians from the same surveys provide important perspectives on the magnitude of health disparities that cannot be obtained by small regional studies that dominate the current available literature. Body mass index (BMI) trajectories from 1994 to 2009 were estimated for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Canadians. Aboriginal Canadians experienced higher rates of BMI increase over the 14-year period between 1994 and 2009. Rate of BMI increase was specifically higher for Aboriginal adults born in the 1960s and 1970s when compared with non-Aboriginal adults, and later-born cohorts had consistently higher BMI compared with earlier-born cohorts. The role of potentially modifiable lifestyle factors in obesity among Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal youth was also investigated. Compared to non-Aboriginal youth, consumption of fruits/vegetables and dairy products was lower, and more Aboriginal youth were "high" TV watchers. Physical activity participation did not differ between "high" and "low" TV watchers for both groups, and was associated with lowered odds for obesity only among Aboriginal youth. The complex relationship between obesity and socioeconomic status for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Canadians was explored. Employment status was strongly and negatively associated with obesity among Aboriginal men and women. Aboriginal men of high socioeconomic status (SES) were most likely to be obese, whereas Aboriginal women of high SES were least likely to be obese. Important descriptive and analytical information on an emerging and serious public health issue among Aboriginal people in Canada can inform the design and planning of intervention programs and development of public health strategies targeted at obesity.
Prevalence and reasons to seek traditional healing methods among residents of two localities in North Kordofan State, Sudan 2022: A cross‐sectional study

Traditional medicines are one of Africa's primary response mechanisms to medical emergencies, while, in other communities, all healthcare decisions are based on indigenous traditions and beliefs. For millions of individuals who reside in rural areas throughout low‐ and middle‐income nations, those healers serve as their only primary healthcare practitioners. This study intends to examine the availability, preferences, and practices of traditional medicine seeking among the Sudanese of North Kordofan state.
Tselfatia formosa, téléostéen marin du Crétacé (Pisces, Actinopterygii), et la position systématique des Tselfatiiformes ou Bananogmiiformes

Tselfatia formosa, marine Cretaceous teleostes (Pisces, Actinopterygii), and the phylogenetic relationships of the Tselfatiiformes or Bananogmiiformes. Some osteological characters of Tselfatia formosa are revised. They confirm that Tselfatia belongs to the Tselfatiiformes or Bananogmiiformes. The phylogenetic relationships of this order are studied. The Tselfatiiformes are primitive Clupeocephala. They appear apomorphic in regard to the Crossognathiformes and represent the plesiomorphic sister-group of a clade including the Otocephala (Clupeomorpha and Ostariophysi) and the Euteleostei.
Disparities, distribution, and determinants in appropriate timely initiation, number, and quality of antenatal care in Bangladesh: Evidence from Demographic and Health Survey 2017–18

Like many other low- and middle-income countries, Bangladesh experiences a disproportionately higher number of maternal and neonatal deaths compared to high-income countries. Despite this, a majority of pregnant women in Bangladesh do not receive appropriate antenatal care (ANC). We investigated the disparities, distribution, and determinants of the timing, number, and quality of ANC in this country. This cross-sectional study analyzed Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) 2017–18 data on ever-married reproductive-age (i.e., 15-49-year-olds) women. After describing the study sample and proportions, multilevel logistic regression was applied to study determinants. The prevalence and odds of the studied outcomes were higher among women with higher parity, a higher education level, more highly educated husbands, urban residence, and residence in some administrative divisions (p<0.05). For instance, among women in the poorest, poorer, middle, richer, and richest wealth quintiles, the proportions of those who initiated ANC during the first trimester were 22.2% (95% confidence interval (CI): 19.6–25.0), 30.1% (95% CI: 27.1–33.2), 35.1% (95% CI: 31.7–38.6), 38.5% (95% CI: 35.2–42.0), and 61.0% (95% CI: 57.5–64.3). Then, compared to women in the poorest wealth quintile, the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) for ANC initiation was higher among those in the poorer (AOR: 1.3, 95% CI: 1.1–1.7), middle (AOR: 1.5, 95% CI: 1.2–1.9), richer (AOR: 1.4, 95% CI: 1.1–1.8), and richest (AOR: 2.7, 95% CI: 2.1–3.5) household wealth quintiles. Given the importance of appropriate ANC, it is crucial to increase awareness and coverage among women with low socioeconomic status and rural residence, among other factors studied.
