Urinary Tract Infection and Associated Factors among Pregnant Women Receiving Antenatal Care at a Primary Health Care Facility in the Northern Region of Ghana

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is frequently encountered during pregnancy and is associated with adverse maternal, fetal, and neonatal effects. However, very little information is available on the prevalence of UTI among pregnant women in the northern part of Ghana, a region with a high birth rate. This study employed a cross-sectional analysis of the prevalence, antimicrobial profile, and risk factors associated with UTI in 560 pregnant women attending primary care for antenatal check-ups. Sociodemographic obstetrical history and personal hygiene information were obtained using a well-structured questionnaire. Afterward, clean catch mid-stream urine samples were collected from all participants and subjected to routine microscopy examination and culture. Of 560 pregnant women, 223 cases (39.8%) were positive for UTI. There was a statistically significant association between sociodemographic, obstetric, and personal hygiene variables and UTI (p < 0.0001). Escherichia coli (27.8%) was the commonest bacterial isolate followed by CoNS (13.5%) and Proteus species (12.6%). These isolates exhibited greater resistance to ampicillin (70.1–97.3%) and cotrimoxazole (48.1–89.7%) but were fairly susceptible to gentamycin and ciprofloxacin. Gram-negative resistance to meropenem was up to 25.0%, and Gram positives resistance to cefoxitin and vancomycin was up to 33.3% and 71.4% respectively. The current findings extend our knowledge of the high frequency of UTIs and associated risk factors in pregnant women with E. Coli being the predominant and usual isolate. Variation existed in the resistance pattern of isolates to various drugs, underscoring the need to perform urine culture and susceptibility before treatment.
Comparing the success rate of external dacryocystorhinostomy with anterior flap versus flap excision in managing chronic dacryocystitis

Background: Nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) is characterized by epiphora and recurrent episodes of acute dacryocystitis. Despite the temporary effect of antibiotics in the acute phase, it is primarily managed by dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR). There is a new modification of external DCR that is performed without either anterior or posterior flaps. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of flapless and single-flap external DCR in adult patients with chronic symptomatic dacryocystitis secondary to NLDO. Methods: In this retrospective, non-randomized, interventional, comparative study of patients with chronic dacryocystitis secondary to primary acquired NLDO, we compared the surgical outcomes and complication rates of flapless external DCR to those of external DCR with only anterior flap suturing. We excluded patients who declined participation and those with soft stops, nasal problems, lid margin abnormalities, lid malposition or laxity, previous lacrimal surgery, lacrimal fistula, trauma involving the lacrimal drainage system, lack of adequate follow-up, or severe septal deviation or turbinate hypertrophy. Anatomical and functional success rates were determined at the last follow-up visit and were compared. Postoperative complications were recorded and compared between groups. Results: We included 53 patients with a male-to-female ratio of 16 (30.2%) to 37 (69.8%); 25 eyes underwent flapless DCR (group 1) and 28 eyes underwent anterior flap suturing DCR (group 2). The two groups had comparable demographic characteristics (all P > 0.05). Furthermore, anatomical (92.0% in group 1 and 92.9% in group 2) and functional (84.0% in group 1 and 92.9% in group 2) success rates at final follow-up were comparable between groups (both P > 0.05). At the one-month postoperative examination, premature tube extrusion was more often reported in group 1 (12.0%) compared to group 2 (7.1%). At the two-month follow-up examination, tube extrusion was noted in 4.0% in group 1 and 0.0% in group 2, yet the difference failed to attain statistical significance (P > 0.05). Conclusions: We found that neither surgical method was superior in terms of anatomical or functional success rate at a maximum of one year after external DCR. Flapless DCR is a simple, effective, and reproducible alternative to the single anterior flap suturing technique for managing NLDO in adults with chronic dacryocystitis. However, further randomized clinical trials with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods are recommended before generalization can be justified.
The sustainability awareness of banking institutions in Indonesia, its implication on profitability by the mediating role of operational efficiency

PurposeThis study aims to propose a solution to accelerate financing support low carbon (circular economy) transition. The authors developed a sustainability governance (SGOV) model and a sustainability governance (SGOV) index as a proxy for the diffusion of sustainability innovation. This study investigates the effect of SGOV practices on profitability with the mediating role of operational efficiency.Design/methodology/approachThe SGOV index consists of 32 and 122 sub-items, constructed using content analysis of annual and sustainability reports published by banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2010 to 2020 (404 bank-year observations). FindingsBanks are at a moderate level of sustainability innovation. They are prioritizing the balance aspects of financial, social and environmental. SGOV practice negatively affects profitability. However, operational efficiency plays a positive mediating role that is robust.Research limitations/implicationsThe measurement of the SGOV index uses criteria that have not been tested in previous studies. There is the potential subjectivity in interpreting qualitative data, although this has been minimized by cross-checking the analysis of five raters.Practical implicationsThis study gives feedback for the Indonesia sustainable finance (SF) journey phase I to proceed into SF journey phase II.Social implicationsThe SGOV model can be applied in other industry sectors to know the readiness for entering low carbon (circular economy) transition.Originality/valueThe uniqueness of the scoring technique assuming a step-by-step innovation model to sustainable finance.
Hyperfine and vibrational structure of weakly bound levels of the lowest 1g state of molecular 87Rb2

Photoassociation resonances in the ${}^{87}$Rb${}_{2}$ ${1}_{g}$ state dissociating to $5{\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}}^{2}S+5{}^{2}{P}_{1/2}$ were produced by the excitation of colliding ${}^{87}$Rb atoms in a far-off resonance trap. Levels down to 31 cm${}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ below the dissociation limit were measured with resonance linewidths of 15 to 20 MHz, and have been located to a one-sigma combined systematic and statistical uncertainty of 50 MHz relative to the $5{\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}}^{2}S+5{}^{2}{P}_{1/2}$ limit. Electron and nuclear spins were fixed to a space-fixed axis by circularly polarized optical pumping, so that only states with total nuclear spin $I=3$ were excited, thereby greatly simplifying the spectrum. The analysis of the data yielded hyperfine coupling parameters $A(v)$, vibrational $G(v)$, and rotational $B(v)$ parameters. The $G(v)$ parameters could be fit to an rms accuracy of about 0.01 cm${}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ to a potential constructed from current ${C}_{3}$ and ${C}_{6}$ long-range dispersion parameters plus an ab initio potential that was adjusted in depth and with quadratic terms in the internuclear distance added to the inner wall.

Motivation can affect the success of students’ learning. Teachers need a valid instrument to measure students’ motivation while learning physis. This study aims to describe the process of developing and validating of physics learning motivation survey (PLMS) for senior high school. Research and development approach is implemented in this study by following stages: define, design, develop, and disseminate. In the previous study, the survey has been generated 40 items with eight factors including teachers’ factor, carrier plan, learning strategy, self-efficacy, instructional media, learning environment, learning interest, and online/offline instruction. The present study is to validate empirically the survey using Rach analysis by involving 947 senior high school students in Kalimantan Barat. The results from Rach analysis show that 35 items are acceptable which have infit and outfit mean square value from 0.5 to 1.5 logits. Then item reliability and person reliability are 0.99 and 0.91 respectively. This indicates that the PLMS is valid and reliable to measure students’ motivation in learning physics
Fluence to Effective Dose Conversion Coefficients for Electrons from 1 MeV to 100 GeV

Fluence to organ dose and effective dose conversion coefficients have been calculated for electrons from 1 MeV to 100 GeV using an anthropomorphic phantom and the EGS4 code. The conversion coefficients were calculated for six typical irradiation geometries taking electromagnetic cascade shower and photonuclear reactions into account. The contribution to the absorbed dose due to the photonuclear reactions in energies up to 140 MeV was evaluated to be less than 0.2%. Even at energies above 140 MeV the dose contributions of the photonuclear reactions were insignificant.

Influence of Meteorology on Ambient Air Quality in Morogoro, Tanzania

The influence of meteorological parameters on air quality was investigated for a rural background site in Morogoro. Precipitation, temperature, relative humidity and wind speed were measured during wet and dry seasons of 2005 and 2006 period and their relationship with reported mass of particles of aerodynamic diameter smaller than 10 μm (PM10) for the site was assessed. The results show that higher PM10 mass concentrations (45 μg/m3) were obtained during the 2005 dry season and the lowest (13 μg/m3) during the 2006 wet season. It is interpreted that reasons for the higher levels of the particulate matter mass in the dry season are due to temperature inversions and absence of rain wash-down. The observed particulate matter levels are also affected by the variations in sources strengths and in meteorological conditions such as mixing height, precipitation, relative humidity, wind speed and direction as supported by air mass trajectories.
A recipe for multi-metric gravity

In this thesis, we look for theories of interacting multiple gravitational fields. In general, interaction among gravitational fields generates extra degrees of freedom, which turn out to have negative kinetic energy and are called BD-ghosts. Thus, for a long time, it had been thought that healthy theories are impossible. However, recent progress in non-linear massive gravity has opened a way. A generalization of massive gravity leads to a theory of interacting two gravitational fields. Interaction models which contain more gravitational fields are also proposed, but whether or not they contain BD-ghosts is not completely resolved. Hence, in this thesis, we determine when a system of multiple interacting gravitational fields becomes ghost-free.
Turkish Version of the Sleep Self-Report Scale: Factorial Structure and Psychometric Properties for 8-12-Year Old Children.

BACKGROUND Appropriate diagnosis of sleep problems is crucial, given the importance of sleep in childhood development. The Sleep Self-Report Scale (SSRS) is used to assess children's sleep problems in the United States and Spain, and this study aimed to expand the usability of this instrument by evaluating its validity and reliability in Turkish children. METHODS Between March 2019 and December 2019, this methodological, descriptive, correlational study was conducted on 1138 children. The sociodemographic information form and the SSRS were used to collect data. Factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha, and item-total score analysis were used for data analysis. RESULTS The scale consists of 23 items and 3 sub-dimensions. Three sub-dimensions were observed to explain 58.79% of the total variance. All goodness of fit indices were >0.90 and the root mean square error was <0.08 in the confirmatory factor analysis. For the entire scale, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient is . 94. CONCLUSIONS The SSRS was found to be a valid and reliable instrument to identify sleep problems. The factorial structure supported by exploratory and confirmatory analysis examines the most relevant areas of sleep in children.
An overview of network structures and node importance in the global aviation system from the year 2011 to 2022

The aviation system is an essential constituent for human mobility in the 21st century. Accordingly, better understanding the underlying - possibly hidden - characteristics is one of the key challenges in air transport research. Network science has developed into a key domain for analyzing complex, inter-connected systems, with many studies having used network science techniques to dissect the universal patterns by the abstraction into a network-like structure. After more than two decades of aviation network analysis - the earliest influential papers date back to the early 2000s, providing a synopsis of the existing techniques and assessing the relevant characteristics on the global aviation system is judicious and helpful for the entire air transport community. In this study, we make three major contributions. First, we review the existing literature on complex network analysis of aviation system, having appeared in the past two decades, identifying key trends in the analysis and their results. Second, we provide a data-driven, network science-based analysis of the global aviation system and two of its variants for period from 2011 to 2022, leading to one of the most comprehensive studies in the literature. At the core of our analysis is the task of identifying node importance and answering the question how well complex network-based methods help to reveal the critical nodes in the system. Third, we derive a set of relevant research directions which we deem instrumental for advancing our understanding of global aviation and its subsystems through the lens of network science. We believe that our study provides a unique combination of biographical synopsis and data-driven analysis for the evolution of our global aviation system.
Experiences of intensive care nurses working with patients with COVID-19: A qualitative study in Turkey

Background & Aim: The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted healthcare systems. Nurses were deeply affected physically, psychologically, and socially. This study was conducted to examine the experiences and perceptions of intensive care nurses who provide care for patients with COVID-19 during the pandemic process. Methods & Materials: This qualitative study was conducted using the content analysis approach. This research was carried out with 11 nurses working in the intensive care unit and caring for COVID-19 patients between May and September 2021. A purposive sampling method was used to include nurses in the study. The data of the research were collected with an eight-question semi-structured interview form and in-depth interview technique. The data were analyzed by using the content analysis method. Results: The six main categories identified in this study were challenging working conditions, tiredness, isolation and loneliness, fear, and helplessness, lack of management support, and expectations and needs. Conclusion: This study has shown that intensive care nurses who care for COVID-19 patients in Turkey are greatly adversely affected physically, psychologically, and socially by the pandemic process. In this process, it is extremely important to improve the financial and moral support for nurses. Policymakers and managers should try to reduce the physical, psychological, and social impacts of the pandemic on nurses by focusing on their experience and taking appropriate action.
Local and Non‐Local Biophysical Impacts of Deforestation on Global Temperature During Boreal Summer: CMIP6‐LUMIP Multimodel Analysis

Biophysical effects of forest cover changes are often neglected by climate policies and recent state‐of‐the‐art climate models exhibit wide spreads in simulating the biophysical impacts of deforestation. By using the CMIP6‐LUMIP simulations, here we examined the biophysical impacts of deforestation on global temperature and attributed deforestation‐induced surface temperature change to different biophysical effects (i.e., radiative forcing, aerodynamic resistance, Bowen ratio and atmospheric feedbacks) at regional scales. Results show that models agree on the sign of temperature responses to different biophysical factors in the tropics, but exhibit wide divergence in the extratropical regions. Among the three local biophysical factors (i.e., radiative forcing, aerodynamic resistance, and Bowen ratio), aerodynamic resistance contributes largely to local surface warming in models. As the local effects rarely affect the areas away from the deforested regions, much of the modeled discrepancies result from non‐local atmospheric feedbacks in the middle and high latitudes. Our results suggest that climate responses to deforestation have a large spread in current models and highlight the need to improve our understanding and modeling of non‐local effects in the biophysical impacts of deforestation.
Stochastic comparisons of random minima and maxima

Let X 1, X 2,… be a sequence of independent random variables and let N be a positive integer-valued random variable which is independent of the Xi. In this paper we obtain some stochastic comparison results involving min {X 1, X 2,…, XN ) and max{X 1, X 2,…, XN }.
Erratum: Detection of Departures from Additivity in Mixtures of Many Chemicals with a Threshold Model

We have recently discovered an error in the dosing values of one of the chemicals used in the mixture studied in Gennings, Schwartz, Carter, and Simmons (1997). This note provides corrected tables and figures for that manuscript. Table 1 provides a listing of dose levels (mMoles/kg), mean SDH responses, standard deviations of the responses, and sample sizes. The correction is that the dose levels of CDBM in this Table 1 are twice those reported in the original paper. With the corrected dose levels, the additivity model (Gennings et al. 1997, Equation (1.1)) is estimated to have a lower background parameter (3o), which also affects the slope parameters for the other three chemicals. The quasi-likelihood ratio test of no dose response for any of the chemicals was rejected (p < 0.001). The threshold parameter, 6, is not significantly different from zero (Table 2, p = 0.953). The point estimates and 95% confidence intervals for the threshold for each chemical are provided in Table 3. All four intervals include zero. The fitted curves from the additivity model for each single chemical are provided in a new Figure 3. Using the additivity model given in Equation (1.1) and parameter estimates in Table 2, the predicted SDH response under additivity at x = (0.208,0.084,0.568, 0.012) for (BDCM, CDBM, CHCl3, CHBr3) (i.e., the Krasner mixture) is y = 40.5 with a standard deviation of 2.46. The large sample 95% interval constructed under the assumption of additivity associated with x is [31.9, 51.9]. Here, the observed sample mean response, y = 43.9, is included in the prediction interval. Therefore, these data provide no evidence of departure from additivity at the combination point of interest.
Adoption of the Urban Air Mobility System: Analysis of technical, legal and social aspects from a European perspective

As the demand for mobility and traffic in European urban areas continues to grow, innovative transportation solutions, particularly Urban Air Mobility (UAM), are gaining increasing prominence. UAM takes advantage of the third dimension to reduce ground traffic by integrating low-noise electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles (eVTOLs). Nonetheless, the successful implementation of UAM necessitates not only technological advancements but also the legal framework and social considerations to guarantee effective and safe operations. Holistic investigations of UAM are scarce, especially in the European context. Therefore, this study discusses the developments and challenges of UAM from technical, legal, and social perspectives and derives a set of UAM-tailored design drivers for the effective deployment of UAM in Europe. A comprehensive literature review is conducted on the state of the art of UAM technologies, regulations, and public attitudes. Various eVTOL configurations are compared, taking into account pertinent system factors such as energy efficiency and suitability for short- or long-duration missions. Besides, the cost-effectiveness of eVTOL configurations for a specific mission is evaluated through a cost-optimization analysis: the total cost is calculated to be around 2 € per payload-kilometer, which is approximately tenfold the current price for road transport. The regulatory activities of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency are discussed for the period 2017-2022, during which several systematic improvements to the regulations have been introduced. Typical factors for assessing the public acceptance of UAM are identified, and a survey is conducted across European medium-sized cities to gain insights into public opinion. The survey results indicate that 59\% of the respondents are moderately positive toward UAM deployment, representing a more cautious attitude compared to findings from studies conducted in metropolitan cities or countries. Furthermore, 56\% of respondents are willing to try out delivery services with aerial vehicles, while, 32\% would use air taxis. This is in contrast with studies conducted in metropolitan areas or at the country level. Based on the proposed holistic investigation of UAM, the set of design drivers can be identified to reduce uncertainty in UAM adoption and ensure a flawless deployment.
