Effect of Cervical Cancer Education and Provider Recommendation for Screening: A Systematic Review

The incidence of cervical cancer in the world is still high as well as in Indonesia. This cancer affected women's physically, psychologically, socially, sexually functionally, and spiritually. The purpose of this review literature was to determine the effect of cervical cancer education and to identify the effects of provider recommendations for screening to eligible women, as a basis for developing new interventions for nurses. We used the PICO (Problem or Population, Interventions, Comparison and Outcome) framework to develop our search strategy. Searching for articles was done through four English databases namely CINAHL, Science Direct, Pubmed, and Proquest to identify articles published between 2009-2019. Of the 2,665 filtered research reports, 14 articles were found that met the requirements. The data synthesis and reporting was guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA). Results, there were eight randomized control trials, five quasi-experiment, and one mixed method involved in the analysis step. The interventions were cervical cancer screening methods (1 article), interventions to increase participation in cervical cancer screening (10 articles), postoperative cervical cancer nursing interventions (1 article), and interventions handling symptoms or problems due to cervical cancer (2 articles). Our findings supported the implementation of cervical cancer educational interventions to increase women's participation in cervical cancer screening programs. Nurses and midwifery have the opportunity to innovate interventions related to nursing, through research in order to improve the quality of nursing care for patients.

Effect of Gutcare and Enterogermina on humoral response of avian influenza immunization in broilers

Avian influenza is highly contagious disease in commercial poultry and wild birds. The disease has been reported in broilers despite of extensive inactivated influenza virus immunization. The incriminating factors of killed vaccine failure might be sudden genetic reassortment in influenza virus or short life span of broilers. The current study is undertaken to evaluate the immunomodulatory effect of commercially available probiotics to AI immunization in broilers. Total of 16 -day old broilers were divided into four groups. Probiotics administered by two routes, in their feed and drinking water. AI vaccinated birds of Group A and Group B were offered with Gutcare in feed and Enterogermina® through water respectively. Whereas, group D was kept as non-vaccinated control. Blood samples collected on 20 and 40 day post vaccination were subjected for Heamagglutination Inhibition (HI) test. On 20 day post vaccination anti influenza mean HI antibody titer of group A, B, C and D was 20+8.0, 20+8.0, 12+4.62 and 0.5+1.0. On 40 day post vaccination anti influenza mean HI antibody titer of group A, B, C and D was 96+36.95, 64+0.0, 56+16 and 0+0.0. Antibody titer of Gutcare was statistically higher as compare to Enterogermina® on 20 and 40 day post vaccination. Gutcare given through feed showed significantly better effect to that of Enterogermina® offered in drinking water.
Profiling Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria and Antibiotic Residues in Raw Chicken Products Sold around Kenyatta University, Kenya

76 Abstract Antibiotic resistant bacteria and antibiotic residues are a serious safety problem for animal food products. Poultry products have been long recognized as a reservoir for antibiotic resistant commensals and pathogens. Antibiotic residues ingested via food animal products expose gut micro-flora to low concentrations of antibiotics, which promote antibiotic resistance. However, there is limited knowledge regarding the potential of chicken products to act as a transmission corridor for the spread of the antibiotic resistant bacteria and antibiotic residues. The present study aimed at profiling antibiotic resistant bacteria and antibiotic residues in raw chicken products sold around Kenyatta University, Kenya. A total of 32 meat and egg samples were randomly collected from two study sites; KM and KU. Antibiotic residues in the study samples were detected using two microbiological techniques with Bacillus subtilis , Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli , and Salmonella typhi as test organisms. Selective and differential media were used to isolate Escherichia coli , Salmonella and Shigella from the samples. Antibiotic susceptibility testing of these isolates against commonly used antibiotics was done using Kirby-Bauer antibiotic discs diffusion method. Of the total samples tested, 87.50% meat and 100% egg samples showed presence of antibiotic residues. The mean colony forming units (CFUs) of meat samples from KM (190.25 x 102 CFU) was higher than that of KU (104.96 x 102 CFU). Eggs from KM showed contamination (158.88 x 102 CFU) than those sampled (108.29 x 102 CFU) within the university outlets. Escherichia coli , Salmonella and Shigella, were resistant to ampicillin. Escherichia coli showed intermediate resistance to tetracycline while Escherichia coli and Shigella showed intermediate resistance to amikacin. This study reveals the presence of antibiotic residues and antibiotic resistant bacteria in chicken meat and eggs sold in the study area. Knowledge generated from this study is helps to develops effective strategies to control antibiotic resistance. ISSN : 2580-2410 eISSN : 2580-2119
A longitudinal study of corporate social responsibility activities and brand equity in Malaysia

Purpose: This paper investigates the trend of corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities and brand equity over three years (2016-2018). Design/methodology/approach: A checklist was constructed to examine the CSR practices reported by Malaysian top 100 brands (public listed companies) annual reports. The extend of CSR was measured on a dichotomous basis (0,1), while the brand equity values of public listed companies (PLCs) were gathered from the Brand Finance Group. Findings: The results showed significant differences between the types of the business sector and CSR activities and brand equity. The results also revealed significant differences between the categories of CSR-related activities such as community, workplace, and marketplacerelated CSR. Research limitations/implications: Future studies should extend the time span and checklists for studying the differences of CSR-related activities and brand equity. Concentrate more on the quality of CSR-related activities rather than CSR disclosure could be an added value in the future. Practical implications: The managers of PLCs need to consistently or improve their investments on CSR-related activities and better formulate CSR-related activities to address these key stakeholders' needs. Originality/value: This paper is one of the few investigating the differences between the groups of year and business sector with CSR activities and brand equity.
Role of Follicle Size , IGF-I , Glucose and Hormones on Nuclear Maturation Events of Awassi Sheep Oocytes ( Ovis aries )

This experiment aimed to study the combined effect of each of the follicle size, insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I), glucose and hormones (growth hormone (GH) and luteinizing hormone (LH)) on different phases of in vitro nuclear maturation of Awassi sheep oocytes. Follicles diameters were divided into two main groups: small follicles (SF): 1-2 mm and large follicles (LF): >2 mm. The levels (μg/ml) of Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF-I), GH, LH and glucose (mM) were determined according to two increasing shared concentrations (A:5,5,1 and 50; B:10,5.5,5 and 100 respectively). The maturation events were monitored at 7-time intervals (0,3,6,9,12,21 and 27 hours). Before incubation (0 hour time interval), the oocytes in SF group outperformed their counterparts of LF group in the germinal vesicle phase (92.45% Vs 74.46%; p=0.01). Down to the 6hour time interval, the oocytes in B solution achieved the highest rates (24.52%; LF group), After 9 hours of incubation, the differences appeared clearly in the prometaphase -1(p=0.05) as half of the number of oocytes in B solution reached the stage (53.84%; LF group), the rates did not exceed 31.37% (A solution; SF group). In the 12 hour time interval, the pro -metaphase-1 rates across the four groups reached the values: 34.00% (A solution; SF group), 40.00% (B solution; LF group), 53.84% (A solution; SF group) and 58.49% (B solution; LF group) respectively. Upon 21hour time interval, oocytes across the different groups showed a significant difference in metaphaseI (p=0.01) with the superiority of oocytes of B solution (33.96%; LF group). At the 24hour time interval, the rates of oocytes involved in the metaphase-II were sub-intermediate and ranged between 20.00% and 36.00% without statistical significance. The final time interval (27hours of incubation) showed a significant difference in the rates of the metaphase-II (p=0.002), as the oocytes of B solution showed a great superiority (84.61%; LF group). It is concluded from this study that the maturation of oocytes derived from large follicles (>2 mm) in a mixture of IGF-I, GH, LH (μg/ml) and glucose (mM) with the levels 10,5.5,5 and 100 respectively led to a significant increase in the rates of metaphase-II. *Omar MARDENLI Orcid No: 0000-0002-6092-7604 *Faculty of Agriculture, University of Aleppo, SYRIA
A Quaternion Framework for Robust Color Images Completion

In this paper, we study robust color images completion and provide a rigorous analysis for provable estimation of color images from a random subset of their corrupted pixels. Our analysis is focused on the use of quaternion framework as a representation of color images. We solve a convex optimization problem, which minimizes a nuclear norm of quaternion matrix which is a convex surrogate for a quaternion matrix rank, and the l 1 -norm of sparse quaternion matrix entries. We show that under incoher-ence conditions that a quaternion matrix can be recovered exactly with overwhelming probability, provided that its rank is suﬃciently small and the corrupted entries are sparsely located. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate our theoretical results. The results of noisy color images completion are also given to show the performance of the proposed approach is better than the testing methods using the unfolding and performing image completion separately in each color channel.
Industry Integration and Stock Price Synchronicity

This paper examines the issue of disparity in international stock price synchronicity. Some major studies have shown that stock prices in countries that have poor track records of government protection of private property right tend to move more synchronously. Investors in these countries expend little effort to extract firm-specific information, thus causing price to be driven mainly by market-wide information. However, such information hypothesis has been challenged by new literature arguing that price synchronicity may be related to information efficiency in a more complicated way, or not at all. We attempt to ask the question if the negative relationship between price synchronicity and level of country proprietary right protection could be explained by factors other than the information hypothesis. Using empirical data that cover 40 countries over the period from 1995 to 2012, we show that after controlling for a number of structural variables and robust checking, both stock market volatility and firm size invariably have significant impacts on price synchronicity of stocks in every country. The capitalization effect is subtle and is apparent only at a disaggregated level of the economies across countries. We provide an alternative and complementary reason why the R 2 disparity occurs internationally by suggesting a noninformation explanation that has to do more with corporate and industry structures of integrations. A capitalization index is constructed which is less coarse than the Herfindahl indexes, and which enables us to capture the effects of industry compositions and intraindustry firm correlations. This index is able to explain cross-sectional variations in price synchronicity as well as variations in R 2 over time. It is shown that tighter industry integration leads to higher R 2 and under this explanation, the property rights factor becomes insignificant.

Suppression of El Nifio during the mid-Holocene by changes in the Earth's orbit

A number of recent reports have interpreted paleoproxy data to describe the state of the tropical Pacific, especially changes in the behavior of the El Nifio-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), over the Holocene. These interpretations are often contradictory, especially for the eastern tropical Pacific and adjacent areas of South America. Here we suggest a picture of the mid-Holocene tropical Pacific region which reconciles the data. ENSO variability was present throughout the Holocene but underwent a steady increase from the mid-Holocene to the present. In the mid-Holocene, extreme warm E1 Nifio events were smaller in amplitude and occurred less frequently about a mean climate state with a cold eastern equatorial Pacific and largely arid coastal regions as in the present climate. This picture emerges from an experiment in which a simple numerical model of the coupled oceanatmosphere system in the tropical Pacific was driven by orbital forcing. We suggest that the observed behavior of the tropical Pacific climate over the midto late Holocene is largely the response to orbitally driven changes in the seasonal cycle of solar radiation in the tropics, which dominates extratropical influences.
Practical Blind Membership Inference Attack via Differential Comparisons

Membership inference (MI) attacks affect user privacy by inferring whether given data samples have been used to train a target learning model, e.g., a deep neural network. There are two types of MI attacks in the literature, i.e., these with and without shadow models. The success of the former heavily depends on the quality of the shadow model, i.e., the transferability between the shadow and the target; the latter, given only blackbox probing access to the target model, cannot make an effective inference of unknowns, compared with MI attacks using shadow models, due to the insufficient number of qualified samples labeled with ground truth membership information. In this paper, we propose an MI attack, called BlindMI, which probes the target model and extracts membership semantics via a novel approach, called differential comparison. The high-level idea is that BlindMI first generates a dataset with nonmembers via transforming existing samples into new samples, and then differentially moves samples from a target dataset to the generated, non-member set in an iterative manner. If the differential move of a sample increases the set distance, BlindMI considers the sample as non-member and vice versa. BlindMI was evaluated by comparing it with state-of-the-art MI attack algorithms. Our evaluation shows that BlindMI improves F1-score by nearly 20% when compared to state-of-the-art on some datasets, such as Purchase-50 and Birds-200, in the blind setting where the adversary does not know the target model's architecture and the target dataset's ground truth labels. We also show that BlindMI can defeat state-of-the-art defenses.
Optimal Localization With Sequential Pseudorange Measurements for Moving Users in a Time-Division Broadcast Positioning System

In a time-division broadcast positioning system, a user device (UD) determines its position by obtaining sequential time of arrival or pseudorange measurements from signals broadcast by multiple synchronized base stations. The existing localization method using sequential pseudorange measurements and a linear clock drift model for the TDPBS, namely, LSPM-D, does not compensate the position displacement caused by the UD movement and will result in position error. In this article, depending on the knowledge of the UD velocity, we develop a set of optimal localization methods for different cases. First, for known UD velocity, we develop the optimal localization method, namely, LSPM-KVD, to compensate the movement-caused position error. We show that the LSPM-D is a special case of the LSPM-KVD when the UD is stationary with zero velocity. Second, for the case with unknown UD velocity, we develop a maximum-likelihood (ML) method to jointly estimate the UD position and velocity, namely, LSPM-UVD. Third, in the case that we have prior distribution information of the UD velocity, we present a maximum a posteriori estimator for localization, namely, LSPM-PVD. We derive the Cramér–Rao lower bound for all three estimators and analyze their localization error performance. We show that the position error of the LSPM-KVD increases as the assumed known velocity deviates from the true value. As expected, the LSPM-KVD has the smallest position error while the LSPM-PVD and the LSPM-UVD are more robust when the prior knowledge of the UD velocity is limited. Numerical results verify the theoretical analysis on the optimality and the positioning accuracy of the proposed methods.
Reconstructing Patchy Reionization with Deep Learning

The precision anticipated from next-generation cosmic microwave background (CMB) surveys will create opportunities for characteristically new insights into cosmology. Secondary anisotropies of the CMB will have an increased importance in forthcoming surveys, due both to the cosmological information they encode and the role they play in obscuring our view of the primary fluctuations. Quadratic estimators have become the standard tools for reconstructing the fields that distort the primary CMB and produce secondary anisotropies. While successful for lensing reconstruction with current data, quadratic estimators will be sub-optimal for the reconstruction of lensing and other effects at the expected sensitivity of the upcoming CMB surveys. In this paper we describe a convolutional neural network, ResUNet-CMB, that is capable of the simultaneous reconstruction of two sources of secondary CMB anisotropies, gravitational lensing and patchy reionization. We show that the ResUNet-CMB network significantly outperforms the quadratic estimator at low noise levels and is not subject to the lensing-induced bias on the patchy reionization reconstruction that would be present with a straightforward application of the quadratic estimator.
The Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury: Triangulum Extended Region (PHATTER). I. Ultraviolet to Infrared Photometry of 22 Million Stars in M33

We present panchromatic resolved stellar photometry for 22 million stars in the Local Group dwarf spiral Triangulum (M33), derived from Hubble Space Telescope observations with the Advanced Camera for Surveys in the optical (F475W, F814W), and the Wide Field Camera 3 in the near-ultraviolet (F275W, F336W) and near-infrared (F110W, F160W) bands. The large, contiguous survey area covers ∼14 square kpc and extends to 3.5 kpc (14′, or 1.5–2 scale lengths) from the center of M33. The PHATTER observing strategy and photometry technique closely mimics that of Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury, but with updated photometry techniques that take full advantage of all overlapping pointings (aligned to within <5–10 milliarcseconds) and improved treatment of spatially varying point-spread functions. The photometry reaches a completeness-limited depth of F475W∼28.5 in the lowest surface density regions observed in M33 and F475W∼26.5 in the most crowded regions found near the center of M33. We find the young populations trace several relatively tight arms, while the old populations show a clear, looser two-armed structure. We present extensive analysis of the data quality, including artificial star tests to quantify completeness, photometric uncertainties, and flux biases. This stellar catalog is the largest ever produced for M33, and is publicly available for download by the community.
