Addressing Decision Making in Progesterone Treatment for History of Preterm Delivery

Abstract Introduction The United States ranks 27th among nations worldwide for infant mortality with a rate of 6.1 deaths per 1,000 live births. The majority of perinatal morbidity and mortality is related to preterm birth, defined as delivery prior to 37 weeks' gestation. Among the risk factors for preterm birth is prior preterm birth, which is associated with a 1.5- to 2.0-fold increase in risk. At the present time, there is only one Food and Drug Administration approved treatment for the prevention of preterm birth among women with a history of prior spontaneous premature delivery, intramuscular 17-α-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17-OHP), administered once weekly from 20 to 36 weeks' gestation. However, many eligible pregnant patients decline this therapy. Methods This was a prospective, cohort study involving patients who were identified as candidates for 17-OHP treatment at their first obstetric visit and asked to complete a short survey regarding their history of preterm birth. Those patients who consented to a follow-up phone call were asked to participate in a focus group discussion regarding their experience with progesterone and the health care system. Results During the 1-year study period, 55 progesterone candidates were identified, 43 accepted treatment, 7 refused, and 5 either initiated prenatal care too late to receive injections or did not follow-up. Those who accepted treatment appeared to cope better with treatment side effects, and/or had traumatic emotional reactions regarding their prior premature birth outcomes. Women who declined treatment often cited pain with injection, had fatalistic beliefs regarding their care, and/or had personal concerns related to full-term pregnancy. Discussion Maternal health care providers should always discuss the implications of prematurity at the time of the index premature delivery and again at the first prenatal visit of the subsequent pregnancy. Providers need to be prepared to employ various techniques for patient counseling and education. Small changes in office practice, like having fewer care providers involved in patient care or providing distractions for children, may make the difference between a patient who is open or closed to treatment options.
Two New Reports of Ancient Rainforest Trees from the Azuero Peninsula, Panama

Abstract. Silicified woods are abundant on the Azuero Peninsula in Panama, but only five publications document Oligocene–Miocene occurrences in the region. In this article, we present two new fossil wood types from the Azuero Peninsula. The first one shares traits diagnostic of Prioria (Fabaceae). Characters supporting this identification include alternate minute intervessel pitting, vessel-ray parenchyma pitting similar to intervessel pits in size and shape, axial canals that are diffuse and in short lines, and rays that are 1–3 cells wide. Prioria was also reported from the Miocene Cucaracha Formation in the area of the Panama Canal. The second one belongs to the Malvaceae, however, we cannot place it in any known fossil or extant genus. We propose a new fossil genus, Veraguasoxylon, based on the occurrence of slight tangential arrangement of vessels, paratracheal axial vasicentric parenchyma, apotracheal axial diffuse parenchyma, rays that are 4–10 cells wide, and “Pterospermum″ type tile cells. These two new reports contribute to the diversity of plants known from Panama prior to the closure of the Central American Seaway. They also provide further evidence that Azuero hosted a diverse rainforest during the Oligocene–Miocene.
FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG BERHUBUNGAN DENGAN KEPATUHAN ASUPAN CAIRAN DAN NATRIUM PADA PASIEN GAGAL GINJAL KRONIK (Studi Kasus pada Pasien yang Menjalani Hemodialisis di RSUD Prof. Dr. Margono Soekarjo Purwokerto)

ABSTRACT This observational study using cross sectional design. Sampling method using purposive sampling and got 35 participants who were CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis in Prof. Dr. Margono Soekarjo Hospital, Purwokerto. The data of participant characteristic, length of time since the initiation of hemodialysis therapy, knowledge, attitude, and social support were collected by using questionnares. Patient’s compliance to fluid and natrium intake was collected by calculating fluid and natrium intake level. Data were analyzed using Fisher test. Most participants did not comply with fluid restriction, but complied with natrium restriction. All factors that have been analized had no correlation to fluid and natrium intake compliance (p > 0,05), except gender and social support factor that had correlation to fluid intake compliance (p < 0,05). Male patients needed an intensive assistance so that fluid intake compliance increased. Moreover, social support from family and others needed to achieve this goal.

Thermal dispersion model of cooling water discharges from industrial activities of steam power plants (PLTU) on the north coast of Paiton, East Java

Necessity electricity in the society especially in industrial activities every year there is an increase in demand. The technology that used in production electricity is one of the Steam Power Plant (PLTU), where Paiton Power Plant is one of the largest power plant in Indonesia and can distribute electricity to Java and Bali. The purpose of this research is to know the process of hot water waste distribution from PLTU Paiton either horizontally or vertically with observation method and numerical model. Tidal model validation with observation data has a high correlation value (r = +0,908). Validation model of hot water waste distribution on surface with observation result has RMSE value equal to (e = 0,96). The observation results show the temperature of the hot water waste in front of the outlet is recorded between 30 °C to 40 °C. Vertically, the distribution of hot water waste near the outlet reaches a depth of 5 m and horizontally the thickness becomes thinner at a distance of about 500 m from the outlet mouth. The model result shows that the distribution of hot water waste distribution occurs more broadly when the low tide.
Minimal model of charge and pairing density waves in x-ray scattering experiments

Competing density waves play an important role in the mystery of high-temperature superconductors. In spite of the large amount of experimental evidence, the fundamental question of whether these modulations represent charge or pairing density waves (CDWs or PDWs) is still debated. Here we present a method to answer this question using momentum and energy-resolved resonant X-ray scattering maps. Starting from a minimal model of density waves in superconductors, we identify distinctive signatures of incipient CDWs and PDWs. The generality of our approach is confirmed by a self-consistent solution of an extended Hubbard model with attractive interaction. By considering the available experimental data, we claim that the spatial modulations in cuprates have a predominant PDW character. Our work paves the way for using X-ray to identify competing and intertwined orders in superconducting materials.
The Correlation Between Quality Mentoring Relationships and African American Males' Overall Engagement and Academic Success

Mentoring has been the saving grace for many African American males. The positive influence of a caring adult, in many cases, shifted their academic path from danger to success. Programs such as Big Brothers Big Sisters of America have provided opportunities for students at-risk to form positive relationships along with a better outlook on life. The purpose of this correlational study is to determine if a relationship exists between quality mentoring relationships and attendance, behavior, and cumulative grade point average of African American males. The research questions guiding this correlational study are: 1) Is there a relationship between quality mentoring relationships and attendance among African American males? , 2) Is there a relationship between quality mentoring relationships and behavior among African American males? , and 3) Is there a relationship between quality mentoring relationships and cumulative grade point average among African American males? This correlational study sample will involve mentors of local mentoring agencies in the Upstate of South Carolina. The instrument used in this correlational study will be the Match Characteristics Questionnaire (MCQ). This instrument was developed by a research consulting team. The Match Characteristics Questionnaire (MCQ) is used to measure mentors’ points-of-view and match relationship quality. Data collection will come from attendance reports, discipline records, and report cards along with the Match Characteristics Questionnaire (MCQ) results. Data analysis will be conducted using a Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient for this correlational study.
Adjusting Ceptometer Data to Improve Leaf Area Index Measurements

Leaf Area Index (LAI) is an important plant parameter for both farmers and plant scientists to monitor and/or model the growth and the well-being of plants. Since direct LAI measurement techniques are relatively laborious and time-consuming, various indirect methods have been developed and widely used since the early 1990s. The LP-80 ceptometer uses a linear array of PAR (photosynthetically active radiation) sensors for non-destructive LAI measurements that is backed by 15 years of research. Despite this, considerable discrepancy can be found between the expert opinions regarding the optimal illumination conditions recommended for the measurement. The sensitivity of ceptometer-based LAI values to PAR was investigated, and a simple method was devised to correct raw ceptometer data collected under non-ideal light conditions. Inadequate light conditions (PAR < 1700 µmol m−2 s−1) could cause an underestimation of LAI. Using the corrected LAI values, the ceptometer data showed a significantly better fit (higher R2, smaller mean average error and closer to zero mean signed error values) to the destructive LAI data for both wheat and maize. With the help of the correction equations, the use of the LP-80 ceptometer could be extended to days when light conditions are not ideal.
Capability of Geomagnetic Storm Parameters to Identify Severe Space Weather

The paper investigates the capability of geomagnetic storm parameters in the disturbance storm-time (Dst), Kp, and AE indices to distinguish between severe space weather (SvSW) that causes the reported electric power outages and/or telecommunication failures and normal space weather (NSW) that does not cause these severe effects in a 50 yr period (1958–2007). The parameters include the storm intensities DstMin (minimum Dst during the main phase, MP, of the storm), (dDst/dt)MPmax, Kpmax, and AEmax. In addition, the impulsive parameter is derived for the storms that are automatically identified in the Kyoto Dst and USGS is the integral of the modulus of the Dst from onset of the MP (MPO) to the DstMin. TMP is the MP duration from MPO to DstMin. The corresponding mean values and are also calculated. Regardless of the significant differences in the storm parameters between the two Dst indices, the IpsDst in both indices seems to identify four of the five SvSW events (and the Carrington event) in more than 750 NSW events that have been reported to have occurred in 1958–2007, while all other parameters separate one or two SvSWs from the NSWs. Using the Kyoto IpsDst threshold of −250 nT, we demonstrate a 100% true SvSW identification rate with only one false NSW. Using the false NSW event (1972 August 4), we investigate whether using a higher resolution Dst might result in a more accurate identification of SvSWs. The mechanism of the impulsive action leading to large IpsDst and SvSW involves the coincidence that the fast interplanetary coronal mass ejection velocity V contains its shock (or front) velocity and large interplanetary magnetic field Bz southward covering .

Investigation of Socioeconomic Inequalities in Health-Related Quality of Life across Europe: A Systematic Review

Background: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a multi-dimensional concept that includes domains related to physical, mental, emotional, and social functioning. Recent research on health inequalities shows that social inequalities in health are a scientific, academic, research, political and social issue. Poverty reduction, effective health care for citizens and improved quality of life are long-term objectives for ensuring social and economic cohesion. The aim of the paper is to present the review of the literature of population and community studies that have used the SF36 tool to investigate the quality of life in the general population. Methods: Systematic review of articles in SCOPUS database collates the findings of the studies which have investigated the quality of life in the general population. The main inclusion criteria were: The use of SF-36, study being in Europe in-between 2011-2017. Results: Eighteen studies (n=18) met the inclusion criteria. The search revealed studies from different European countries. Most of the studies used cross-sectional design. The sample size and sampling varied between the studies. Factors that appear to be associated with low quality of life related to health included, female gender, older age, low education, lower occupational classes, reduced income and some health behaviors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, lack of physical activity and obesity. Conclusion: Inequalities affect everyone. Conditions that lead to marked health disparities are detrimental to all members of society. Public and community health nursing advocate for a healthy society established on a foundation of social justice.
Understanding people’s perception and attitudes towards mammalian fauna using qualitative data: a case study in Barail Wildlife Sanctuary, India

A concise interpretation of people’s perception and attitude towards wildlife helps in formulating better long-term conservation policies. In an attempt to understand people’s perception, we considered one of the threatened and least known ecosystems of northeastern India, the Barail range, mainly focusing on the Barail Wildlife Sanctuary, the only protected area of this range, and falls in the Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot area. The sanctuary is known for a high diversity of mammals, mainly primates (with seven reported species), and bears (with three of the eight globally known species—a diversity not met elsewhere in the globe). To protect its pristine wildlife wealth, it is essential that the perception of the local settlers is elucidated, and this prompted us to take up the present study. In this study, we used open- and close-ended questionnaire, which was then coded (yes/positive=1 and no/negative=0). Each response was thoroughly examined using logistic regression and variables like socio-economic factors, knowledge of the sanctuary, wildlife and forest management were found to generate positive perception towards the sanctuary and its wildlife, and vice-versa. Further, alternative means is suggested in terms of tourism, and the attitudes towards instigation of tourism were mostly favoured by the locals. Besides promoting tourism, providing alternative livelihood and vocational trainings for the locals and, timely compensation for the losses caused by the animals should be long-term strategies for the conservation of the mammals of the sanctuary. It has been increasingly recognized that involvement of locals is a prima facie requirement in the conservation of wildlife, and as such their perception is of great significance. While the study was conducted at the Barail Wildlife Sanctuary, the results may translate in other protected areas, and may be referred to as a model strategy for other protected areas having similar scenario.
Predicting At-Risk Students Using Clickstream Data in the Virtual Learning Environment

In higher education, predicting the academic performance of students is associated with formulating optimal educational policies that vehemently impact economic and financial development. In online educational platforms, the captured clickstream information of students can be exploited in ascertaining their performance. In the current study, the time-series sequential classification problem of students’ performance prediction is explored by deploying a deep long short-term memory (LSTM) model using the freely accessible Open University Learning Analytics dataset. In the pass/fail classification job, the deployed LSTM model outperformed the state-of-the-art approaches with 93.46% precision and 75.79% recall. Encouragingly, our model superseded the baseline logistic regression and artificial neural networks by 18.48% and 12.31%, respectively, with 95.23% learning accuracy. We demonstrated that the clickstream data generated due to the students’ interaction with the online learning platforms can be evaluated at a week-wise granularity to improve the early prediction of at-risk students. Interestingly, our model can predict pass/fail class with around 90% accuracy within the first 10 weeks of student interaction in a virtual learning environment (VLE). A contribution of our research is an informed approach to advanced higher education decision-making towards sustainable education. It is a bold effort for student-centric policies, promoting the trust and the loyalty of students in courses and programs.
The Effect of Satisfaction, Perceived Value, Image, and Perceived Sacrifice on Public Healthcare Service Institution’s Patient Loyalty

This research aims to investigate the simultaneous effect of satisfaction, perceived value, image, and perceived sacrifice on patient loyalty. This study is believed to be the first to develop and test patient loyalty model that includes satisfaction, perceived value, image, and perceived sacrifice. Quantitative research methodology was employed. We performed survey to collect the empirical data. The respondents are 162 patients of two health care service institutions in Bogor and Bekasi, Indonesia. The conceptual model and proposed hypotheses were examined using multiple regressions analysis. The findings showed that image has positive impact on patient loyalty. However, this research also found that satisfaction, perceived value, and perceived sacrifice do not have significant impact on patient loyalty. Thus, the management of public healthcare service institution should consider and manage the image of the institution proactively.
