PERILAKU PENGGUNAAN KONDOM DALAM PENCEGAHAN PENULARAN HIV PADA MASYARAKAT UMUM DI TANAH PAPUA DAN PADA ICELOMPOK RISIKO DI INDONESIA, 2004-2006

Although Indonesia's HIV epidemic was classified as low epidemic in general, however since2000 in some high risk groups population classified as concentrated such asFSW (Female Sex Workers),IDUs (Injecting Drug Users) and transsexual, HIV prevalence tend to increase. While in Papua and WestPapua (Tanah Papua),the increase of the disease is growing further that have been reaching generalizedclassification namely 2.41% (g1%). This article examines the behaviour on usingcomdom amongcommunity in Tanah Papua and among risk groups namely FSW (Female Sex Workers), FSW clients,transsexual, Gay, Male Sex Workers and IDUs in Indonesia. The data were obtained from communitybased of the Integrated Behavioral and Biological Surveillance Survey(IBBS) 2006 in 10 districts in Tanah Papua.The other data were obtained from Behavioral Surveillance Survey (BSS) 2004-2005 ofFSW and FSW clients in 14 provinces, transsexual in four districts, Gay and Male Sex Workers in three districts andIDUs in five cities. This survey reveals that knowledge of three programmatically important ways toprevent from HIV transmission ABC: abstinent, being faithful and using condom is still concern. Theyoungest and the oldest ages know less the three ways to preventing from HIV transmission. It is verycorcern that always using condoms among risk groups when they commit commercial sexual activity werevery low, ranging from 3% to 56% for sex workers and their clients, 17% for IDUs. While amongcommunity in Tanah Papua ranging from 2% (highland) to 35% (easy land) when they commit the lastsexual activity with payment. Findings also show that the use in condoms is affected by condomavailability and frequency in suggesting condom use among sex workres. Therefore it is needed to maintainthe continuity of campaign on 100% condom use and provide condoms in work places of commercial sexworkers and also in all areas in Tanah Papua.
Sensitivity of the pseudo-global warming method under flood conditions: a case study from the northeastern US

Abstract. Intensified extreme precipitation and corresponding floods are the most relevant consequences of climate change over the northeastern US (NEUS). To evaluate the impacts of climate change or certain climate perturbations on future extreme weather events which are dynamically similar to historic analogs, the pseudo-global warming (PGW) method has been frequently employed; however, this method lacks precise definition and guidelines, thus limiting its application. More specifically, three key questions related to the application of the PGW method remain unanswered: at what spatial scale should climate perturbations be applied? Among the different meteorological variables available, which ones should be perturbed? And will PGW projections vary significantly when different perturbations are applied? To address these questions, we examine the sensitivity and robustness of conclusions drawn from the PGW method over the NEUS by conducting multiple PGW experiments with varied perturbation spatial scales and choice of perturbed meteorological variables. The results show that the projections of precipitation and other essential variables at the regional mean scale are consistent across the PGW simulations, with a relative difference of much less than 10 %; however, different perturbation modifications can cause significant displacements of the storm events being simulated. Several previously assumed advantages of modifying only the temperature at regional mean scale, such as the preservation of geostrophic balance, do not appear to hold. Also, for these experiments, we find the regional mean perturbation produces a positive precipitation bias because it ignores the land–ocean warming contrast, which is a robust regional response to global warming. Overall, PGW experiments with perturbations from temperature or the combination of temperature and wind at the grid point scale are both recommended, depending on the research questions. The first approach can isolate the spatially dependent thermodynamic impact, and the latter incorporates both the thermodynamic and dynamic impacts.
A New Perspective of Pacific–Japan Pattern: Estimated Percentage of the Cases Triggered by Rossby Wave Breaking

This study quantitatively examined the relative importance of Rossby wave breaking (RWB) east of Japan to a formation of the Pacific–Japan (PJ) pattern compared with that of tropical atmospheric and oceanographic variabilities. First, cases of the positive and negative PJ patterns are classified into those with and without the RWB occurrence. The result of the classification indicates that the cases of the positive PJ pattern triggered by the RWB account for approximately 20 % of the whole cases of the positive PJ pattern. The number of positive PJ cases with the RWB further accounts for approximately 80 % of those in the cases associated with the RWB. Results of a lag composite analysis and the related Q-vector diagnosis for the cases of the positive PJ pattern with the presence of RWB show that the RWB east of Japan promotes the formation of the PJ pattern through the southwestward intrusion of high potential vorticity air mass toward the subtropical western North Pacific (WNP) and the consequent dynamically induced enhanced convection over the region, consistent with results of previous studies. By contrast, the composite for the cases the negative PJ pattern accompanied by the RWB indicates that the RWB-related upper-tropospheric zonally elongated anomalous circulation and basin-wide sea surface temperature (SST) warming over the Indian Ocean can contribute suppressed convective activities over the subtropical WNP and the consequent formation of the negative PJ pattern although the RWB occurs. The composite for the cases of positive and negative PJ patterns with the absence of RWB further indicates that the convective activities over the subtropical WNP move northwestward with time, causing the formation of the PJ pattern. The formation of the PJ pattern with the absence of RWB is also closely associated with tropical SST and phase of the boreal summer intraseasonal oscillation, illuminating “pure” tropical impacts on the formation of a PJ pattern.
Early Ultrasound Screening for Fetal Malformations in the Second Pregnancy after Combined Modality Treatment for Hodgkin’s Disease: A Case Report

Introduction: Therapeutic progress in HD has led to a high rate of cure, but at the expense of some side effects. Abnormalities reported so far are: cardiac toxicity, pulmonary toxicity, endocrinal failure, second cancers and congenital malformations. Although several studies reported in the literature showed no or slightly increased risk of congenital abnormalities among newborns of women previously treated for Hodgkin’s disease compared with the general population, abnormalities do occur and sometimes they are very odd and difficult. This is the first report of delayed appearance of specific malformations found in the literature. Case Report: We report a case of female patient, 25 years old, macedonian, presented with Hodgkin’s disease, subtype nodular sclerosis, stage IIIA. The patient received chemotherapy according to ABVD protocol – 6 cycles. Thereafter she received mantle field radiation with 3600 cGy. The first and normal pregnancy occurred after 36 months. Second pregnancy occurred 87 months after completion of treatment. At 13th gestational week ultrasound assessment revealed malformations and induced abortion was performed. A male fetus with malformations on the head such as proboscis, cyclopia and omphalocele on the front abdominal wall containing liver and small bowels was found. Conclusion: I consider this case important in bringing the potential late side-effect to the attention of both patients and doctors. They should be alert for the risk of congenital abnormalities in newborns of women previously treated for Hodgkin’s disease, especially with combined modality treatment, and should check for them during pregnancy, at birth, in early childhood, or in adulthood. Thus, odd and difficult malformations could be avoided.
ATTITUDES RELATED TO OBESITY AMONG STUDENTS OF HIGHER TEACHER’S TRAINING COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF YAOUNDE

The prevalence of obesity is increasing throughout the world and in Cameroon especially with the high rate of nutritional transition. Its etiology is dependent on modifiable risk factors such as nutrition knowledge, level of physical activity, eating pract Therefore, it is a call of concern for everybody, mostly future civil servant such as higher teacher training students eating practices. obesity amongst students of the Higher Teacher Training College of Yaounde I was conducted among two hundred and eleven students (92 me and 40 years. A questionnaire related to identification and attitude related to eating disorders was filled, anthropometric and clinical parameters were also measured during the Higher Teachers’ Training College open days o significantly higher obesity were found not satisfactory, particularly in regard with the preference of sweet tas the main practices eating disorders consisted of high consumption of soft drinks (67.8%), low consumption of fruits and vegetables (34.6%) and munching between meals (54%). Although the prevalence of obesity was low in this studied population, the training programs of this institution in order to give adequate nutrition knowledge to those future civil servants.
Blood Flow Restriction Exercise Attenuates the Exercise-Induced Endothelial Progenitor Cell Response in Healthy, Young Men

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are a vasculogenic subset of progenitors, which play a key role in maintenance of endothelial integrity. These cells are exercise-responsive, and thus exercise may play a key role in vascular repair and maintenance via mobilization of such cells. Blood flow restriction exercise, due to the augmentation of local tissue hypoxia, may promote exercise-induced EPC mobilization. Nine, healthy, young (18–30 years) males participated in the study. Participants undertook 2 trials of single leg knee extensor (KE) exercise, at 60% of thigh occlusion pressure (4 sets at 30% maximal torque) (blood flow restriction; BFR) or non- blood flow restriction (non-BFR), in a fasted state. Blood was taken prior, immediately after, and 30 min after exercise. Blood was used for the quantification of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs: CD34+CD45dim), EPCs (CD34+VEGFR2+/CD34+CD45dimVEGFR2+) by flow cytometry. Our results show that unilateral KE exercise did not affect circulating HPC levels (p = 0.856), but did result in increases in both CD34+VEGFR2+ and CD34+CD45dimVEGFR2+ EPCs, but only in the non-BFR trial (CD34+VEGFR2+: 269 ± 42 cells mL-1 to 573 ± 90 cells mL-1, pre- to immediately post-exercise, p = 0.008; CD34+CD45dimVEGFR2+: 129 ± 21 cells mL-1 to 313 ± 103 cells mL-1, pre- to 30 min post-exercise, p = 0.010). In conclusion, low load BFR exercise did not result in significant circulating changes in EPCs in the post-exercise recovery period and may impair exercise-induced EPC mobilization compared to non-BFR exercise.
Onset of large-scale convection in wall-bounded turbulent shear flows

Abstract Large-scale coherent rolls are observed frequently in unstably stratified turbulent wall-bounded flows where they influence strongly the turbulent transport and the mean flow properties. Here we address the question of their genesis by means of a linear stability analysis of the turbulent mean flow where a model of turbulent Reynolds stresses is embedded in the linear stability operator. We use the unstably stratified turbulent channel flow as a testbed for the analysis. We show that the onset of large-scale convection is associated to the linear instability of the mean flow to large-scale streamwise-uniform coherent rolls of aspect ratio $A \approx 3\unicode{x2013}3.3$ when the friction Richardson number exceeds $|Ri_{\tau,c}|=0.86$. This corresponds to critical Rayleigh numbers that increase with the Reynolds number approximately as $Ra_c \approx 0.04\,Re_b^{1.8}$. These results are consistent with those obtained in recent direct numerical simulations performed in the same setting. It is also found that if turbulent Reynolds stresses are not modelled in the linear operator used in the stability analysis, then predictions are not consistent with direct numerical simulations results.
Do aesthetics dental needs interfere in the oral health-related quality of life and in the self-steem of patients seeking for treatment at University São Francisco Dental School?

Aim: The objective was to evaluate oral health-related quality of life (OHRQOL) in patients aging 18 - 60 years, considering oral health, dental aesthetic impact and self-esteem. Methods: The sample comprised 81 patients, regardless gender/ ethnicity, seeking for dental aesthetic treatment at University Sao Francisco, Braganca Paulista-SP. The instruments used to assess the OHRQOL were the questionnaires: 1. Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSS); 2. Oral Health Impact Pro le-14 Brazil (OHIP) and 3. Psychosocial Impact and Aesthetic Dental Questionnaire-Brazil (PIADQ). Data were analyzed by Spearman correlation (α=5%) and descriptive statistics. Results: The older the patient the worse the oral and general health conditions found (p<0.05). Moreover, the age showed signi cant correlation with OIHP and PIADQ questionnaires scores (p=0.000). The three questionnaires showed moderate positive correlations (p<0.05 r=0.461–0.685) among them. In addition, OHIP and QIPED questionnaires correlated with general health and oral health (p<0.05 r=0.230–0.558). Conclusion: It could be concluded that aesthetic dental needs interfere, in fact, in the oral health-related quality of life and in the self-steem of patients seeking for treatment University Sao Francisco Dental School.
Spectral asymmetry and Riemannian geometry. III

In Parts I and II of this paper ((4), (5)) we studied the ‘spectral asymmetry’ of certain elliptic self-adjoint operators arising in Riemannian geometry. More precisely, for any elliptic self-adjoint operator A on a compact manifold we defined where λ runs over the eigenvalues of A. For the particular operators of interest in Riemannian geometry we showed that ηA(s) had an analytic continuation to the whole complex s-plane, with simple poles, and that s = 0 was not a pole. The real number ηA(0), which is a measure of ‘spectral asymmetry’, was studied in detail particularly in relation to representations of the fundamental group.
Numerical Investigation of Internal Solitary Wave Forces on a Moving Submarine

A numerical model is developed to investigate the hydrodynamic characteristics of a moving submarine induced by internal solitary waves (ISWs) in continuously stratified fluids. A new numerical scheme for the generation of ISWs with a current is proposed, in which the forward speed of the submarine is equivalent to the current. The superposition of the velocity field obtained from extended Korteweg-de Vires (eKdV) theory and the velocity field of the current is taken as the initial velocity field in a numerical wave tank. Convergence analysis is conducted, while the present numerical model is validated by comparing it with experimental data. Then, the interaction between the moving submarine and the ISWs against different pycnocline thicknesses and different moving speeds is investigated. The proposed numerical model can produce accurate ISWs coupled with a current. It can be found that the hydrodynamic forces on the submarine decrease with the increment of pycnocline thickness. The moving speed of the submarine performs a significant effect on the horizontal force, but a light effect on the vertical forces and the torque. It is also found that the forces on the moving submarine cannot be considered as the linear superposition of the navigation resistance in still water and the forces induced by ISWs.
Self-esteem as a predictive factor in juvenile delinquency Self-esteem as a predictive factor in juvenile delinquency

Abstract Volumes of research have been written over the past forty years on factors related to delinquency. Theories on the causation of delinquency have been derived from three basic perspectives: biological, psychological, and environmental-sociological (Johnson, Bird, & Little, 1981; Empey, 1982). Biological causes include genetic and physical structure of the child. The psychological perspectives sees delinquency as a result of emotional instability. Environmental reasons include socio-economic status of the child's family, peer group pressure, and neighborhood cultural characteristics. The purpose of this paper is to review the relationship of self-esteem and delinquency and primarily focus on whether a low level of self-esteem is a predictive factor for delinquency. As a result there will be some theoretical overlap in this review.
Work Related Injuries and Associated Factors among Small Scale Industry Workers of Mizan-Aman Town

Abstract Background: Work place is a potentially hazardous environment where millions of employees pass at least one-third of their life time. However, hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are employed today in conditions that breed ill health and/or are unsafe for life. Objective: This study aims to assess the magnitude of work related injury and associated factors among small scale industrial workers in Mizan-Aman town, Bench Maji Zone, Southwest Ethiopia. Method: A cross-sectional study design was conducted from February to May, 2016. Data was collected using a structured face to face interview and observational checklist. A total of 219 individuals were involved in this study. The raw data collected from the field was entered to EPI Info-version 6.04 and exported to SPSS-version 21 for analysis. A logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with work related injuries. Result: A total of 219 employees from small scale industries were involved in the study. One hundred ninety eight (90.4%) were male. Prevalence of injury was 45.2% per year and the most common causes of injury was hit injury by manual tools (37.4%). Most of the occupational injuries sustained were on the upper and lower limbs. The multivariable analysis result reveals that cigarette smoking (AOD= 4.65: 95% CI 1.53, 14.20), alcohol consumption (AOD= 5.18: 95% CI 2.28, 11.73), working hours (AOD= 4.78: 95% CI 1.95, 11.68), working during night shift (AOD= 4.14: 95% CI 1.12, 15.25), occupational health and safety training (AOD= 0.25:95% CI 0.10, 0.63) and use of Personal Protective Equipment (AOD= 0.32: 95% CI 0.14, 0.75) were found to be significantly associated factors with occupational injury. Conclusion: Work-related injuries were high among small scale industry workers in the studied area. Cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, working for more than 8 hours and working at night had high odds of occupational injuries. Use of PPE and occupation health and safety training were preventive factors. Therefore, workers and industry owners need to work together to halt the problems. [Ethiop. J.

Temozolamide as an adjuvant in glioblastoma. How long? The experience of a cancer center in Colombia

Introduction: glioblastoma multiforme is considered to be highly lethal, for which the optimal duration of adjuvant temozolamide chemotherapy has not been determined. Objective: to evaluate survival according to the length of adjuvant chemotherapy based on the standard Stupp platform protocol. Materials and methods: a retrospective cohort analysis of 299 high-grade central nervous system tumors seen at Oncólogos del Occidente, focused solely on glioblastoma multiforme, according to clinical, treatment and outcome variables. Results: one hundred ninety-three patients with glioblastoma; 84 (44%) received standard Stupp platform treatment; mean age 54 years; 55% males; mean tumor size 28,793 mm 2 ; 48% right hemisphere; 21% crossed the midline; 33% had seizures and 42% neurological deficit; 55% Karnofsky less than 70% and 66% RPA IV classification; 77% received radiation with 60.00 Gy or more; 19% had complications; 79% partial resection and 12% total resection; 77% relapsed; at closure, 57% were alive, global survival of 26% and mean of 26 months, with a difference of 31 months for adjuvance of <or> 6 months and 30 months for adjuvance of <or> 12 months, without reaching a median in the 18 and 24 month groups, all of them favoring the group with the longest time. Conclusion: a clear increase in survival is shown with adjuvant temozolamide for periods longer than six months, as well as a tendency towards better results with increased duration of adjuvance.
Haemochromatosis: evaluating the effectiveness of a novel patient self-management approach to venesection as blood donation.

AIM We set out to evaluate the effectiveness of a new model of self management of haemochromatosis, whereby patients with stable ferritin control were discharged from the New Zealand Blood Service (NZBS) therapeutic venesection clinic and educated to manage their own venesection by regular blood donation and annual serum ferritin check by their general practitioner. METHOD Data regarding the frequency of blood donation and serum ferritin level were collected from the NZBS and Concerto records of haemochromatosis patients in the Wellington region who had been discharged back to the care of their general practitioner between January 2014 and June 2015. RESULTS Of the 107 patients, 93% continued to donate blood after discharge. A serum ferritin level was checked in 78% of patients by their general practitioner. The mean number of blood donations per year decreased after discharge, with a corresponding rise in the average ferritin level (difference 28 mcg/L; range 13-43 mcg/L; p<0.005). CONCLUSION The new model of self management was effective for the majority of patients who were discharged from the therapeutic venesection clinic. Longer follow up is required to assess the overall pattern of ferritin control in patients who self manage their haemochromatosis by regular blood donation.
New Surgical Technique for Pterygium:Conjunctival In situ Autograft

Background: Pterygium is mainly due to dysfunction of limbal stem cells with a proliferative and locally invasive front. Conjunctiva overlying body (pterygial conjunctiva) has fairly normal epithelium; hence this can be used as auto graft. Aim of the study is to analyse surgical and morphological outcome of new auto graft technique to treat pterygium, termed as Conjunctival in situ auto graft: CISAG. Methods: Include dissection of Pterygial conjunctiva from 1mm inside limbus, rest of the neck and apex were torn like rrhexis. Remaining fibrotic tissues were meticulously dissected from conjunctiva and sclera. Curuncular end of the graft was placed along limbus over bare sclera. Fibrin secreted from clotted blood helped to keep graft in place. Weekly follow up was done for 1 month and then monthly for a year. Apical pterygial conjunctiva was sent for HPE. Results included total 10 cases of primary pterygium, 2 recurrent pterygium and 2 cases of combined cataract and pterygium. No recurrence was observed during the follow-up period. Conclusion: This procedure requires no suture, no glue. No extra conjunctiva other than the affected is traumatized during surgery. Our results were similar to other auto graft techniques but this new technique named CISAG saves time, tissue and recurrence.
