The prevalence of Mycoplasma hominis in Outpatients at a Tertiary Care Hospital in East India

Introduction Mycoplasma hominis (M. hominis) is the first Mycoplasma isolated from humans in the year 1937. Though regarded as a commensal of the urogenital tract, it has been implicated in various genital and extra-genital infections namely bacterial vaginosis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory diseases, pyelonephritis, premature rupture of the membrane in pregnancy, infertility, sepsis in newborns, etc. The pathogenesis, prevalence, and epidemiology of genital mycoplasmas in general and M. hominis in particular in Indian women have been studied very minimally. This study aimed to study the prevalence of M. hominis carriage among symptomatic and asymptomatic sexually active women attending to the outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital in East India with or without clinically suspected genitourinary infections and to compare the detection of M. hominis by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) as compared to that of culture. Methods In this observational study, sterile Dacron swabs were used to collect two samples each from the genitourinary tract of 110 sexually active women aged 15-45 years (80 cases and 30 control). One sample was inoculated in mycoplasma broth for culture. The other was used for PCR to detect the presence of the M. hominis gene. Results Culture positivity for mycoplasma was seen in 4/80 (5%) patients clinically suspected of genitourinary infection (cases) based on their presenting signs and symptoms. In those without such suspicion (control), all cultures were negative (p=0.021). PCR was positive for M. hominis in 22 (20%) samples. Considering the PCR as the gold standard the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of culture are found to be 18.18%, 100%, 100%, and 88.25% respectively. The highest prevalence of M. hominis was in the age group 20-24 years (9/24) and 50% of all detections (11/22) were among 25-29 years. Detections were more frequent among patients with multiparity, multiple sexual partners, intrauterine contraceptive devices, lower socioeconomic status, and lower educational status. Conclusion Our study results showed that the presence of M. hominis is significantly higher in cases than in the control group. The study also indicates the need for continued research on this bacterium both in patients with genital symptoms and in asymptomatic patients.
‘Missing girls’ in historical Europe: reopening the debate

ABSTRACT Recent research argues that discriminatory practices unduly inflated female excess mortality during infancy and childhood in historical Europe. This article reviews the existing evidence by (1) evaluating the sources that can be used to study this phenomenon; (2) providing a state-of-the-art account of the prevalence of these discriminatory practices, as well as the factors that explain them; and (3) outlining a research agenda that could fill in the gaps in the literature.
Magnetic moments in the presence of topological defects in graphene

We study the influence of pentagons and heptagons, dislocations, and other topological defects breaking the sublattice symmetry on the magnetic properties of a graphene lattice. It is known that vacancies and other defects involving uncoordinated atoms induce localized magnetic moments in the lattice. Within the Hubbard model the total spin of the nonfrustrated lattice is equal to the number of uncoordinated atoms for any value of the Coulomb repulsion $U$ according to the Lieb theorem. With an unrestricted Hartree-Fock calculation of the Hubbard model we show that the presence of a single pentagonal ring in a large lattice is enough to alter the standard behavior and a critical value of $U$ is needed to get the polarized ground state. Dislocations, Stone-Wales, and similar defects are also studied.
On the evolution of the velocity–mass–size relations of disc-dominated galaxies over the past 10 billion years

We study the evolution of the scaling relations between maximum circular velocity, stellar mass and optical half-light radius of star-forming disk-dominated galaxies in the context ofCDM-based galaxy formation models. Using data from the literature combined with new data from the DEEP2 and AEGIS surveys we show that there is a consistent picture for the evolution of these scaling relations from z � 2 to z = 0, both observationally and theoretically. The evolution of the observed stellar scaling rela- tions is weaker than that of the virial scaling relations of dark matter haloes, which can be reproduced, both qualitatively and quantitatively, with a simple, cosmologically- motivated model for disk evolution inside growing Navarro-Frenk-White dark matter haloes. In this model optical half-light radii are smaller, both at fixed stellar mass and maximum circular velocity, at higher redshifts. This model also predicts that the scaling relations between baryonic quantities (baryonic mass, baryonic half-mass radii, and maximum circular velocity) evolve even more weakly than the corresponding stel- lar relations. We emphasize, though, that this weak evolution does not imply that individual galaxies evolve weakly. On the contrary, individual galaxies grow strongly in mass, size and velocity, but in such a way that they move largely along the scaling relations. Finally, recent observations have claimed surprisingly large sizes for a num- ber of star-forming disk galaxies at z ' 2, which has caused some authors to suggest that high redshift disk galaxies have abnormally high spin parameters. However, we argue that the disk scale lengths in question have been systematically overestimated by a factor � 2, and that there is an offset of a factor � 1:4 between Hsizes and optical sizes. Taking these effects into account, there is no indication that star forming galaxies at high redshifts (z ' 2) have abnormally high spin parameters.
Thyroid status and severity or mortality of COVID-19

Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education The non-thyroidal illness syndrome is characterized by low triiodothyronine in people with normal thyroid status, commonly occurring in seriously ill patients or individuals with malnutrition. Several studies showed people with severe COVID-19 had much lower free triiodothyronine levels than the patients who had less sever COVID-19. Therefore, free serum triiodothyronine may become a predictor of the severity of COVID-19 and an indicator for its management.
On the self-propulsion of an $N$ -sphere micro-robot

Abstract The aim of this paper is to describe the self-propulsion of a micro-robot (or micro-swimmer) consisting of $N$ spheres moving along a fixed line. The spheres are linked to each other by arms with their lengths changing periodically. We use the asymptotic procedure containing the two-timing method and a distinguished limit. We show that self-propulsion velocity appears (in the main approximation) as a linear combination of velocities of all possible triplets of spheres. Velocities and efficiencies of three-, four- and five-sphere swimmers are calculated.
The smoothness of the stationary measure

We study the smoothness of the stationary measure with respect to smooth perturbations of the iterated function scheme and the weight functions that define it. Our main theorems relate the smoothness of the perturbation of: the iterated function scheme and the weight functions; to the smoothness of the perturbation of the stationary measure. The results depend on the smoothness of: the iterated function scheme and the weights functions; and the space on which the stationary measure acts as a linear operator. As a consequence we also obtain the smoothness of the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set and of the Hausdorff dimension of the stationary measure.
A MAGNIFIED VIEW OF STAR FORMATION AT z = 0.9 FROM TWO LENSED GALAXIES,

We present new narrowband Hα imaging from the Hubble Space Telescope of two z = 0.91 galaxies that have been lensed by the foreground galaxy cluster A2390. These data probe spatial scales as small as ∼0.3 kpc, providing a magnified look at the morphology of star formation at an epoch when the global star formation rate (SFR) was high. However, dust attenuates our spatially resolved SFR indicators, the Hα and rest-UV emission, and we lack a direct measurement of extinction. Other studies have found that ionized gas in galaxies tends to be roughly 50% more obscured than stars; however, given an unextincted measurement of the SFR we can quantify the relative stellar to nebular extinction and the extinction in Hα. We infer SFRs from Spitzer and Herschel mid- to far-infrared observations and compare these to integrated Hα and rest-UV SFRs; this yields stellar to nebular extinction ratios consistent with previous studies. We take advantage of high spatial resolution and contextualize these results in terms of the source-plane morphologies, comparing the distribution of Hα to that of the rest-frame UV and optical light. In one galaxy, we measure separate SFRs in visually distinct clumps, but can set only a lower limit on the extinction and thus the star formation. Consequently, the data are also consistent with there being an equal amount of extinction along the lines of sight to the ionized gas as to the stars. Future observations in the far-infrared could settle this by mapping out the dust directly.
Increasing OSH, Work Motivation, Employee Performance and Organizational Commitment of Hospital Employees

Empirically proving the effect of occupational safety and health (OSH), work motivation, and organizational commitment on employee performance is the aim of this study. The general hospital employees of the Lamandau area are the population in this study. The sample of this research is 100 respondents. Determination of the sample of this research is by purposive sampling. Multiple linear analysis with SPSS 22 program is the analytical tool. Sobel test is also used to determine and analyze the effect of mediation. The results showed that organizational commitment was not influenced by OSH. Work motivation significantly affects on organizational commitment. The other findings, OSH, work motivation, and organizational commitment significantly affect on employee performance. Organizational commitment did not mediate the effect of OSH on employee performance, organizational commitment mediates the effect of motivation work on employee performance. This research has theoretical and managerial implications. Received: 9 August 2022 / Accepted: 10 October 2022 / Published: 5 November 2022
ADHERENCE TO THE WHO GUIDELINES OF MANAGEMENT OF SEVERE ACUTE MALNUTRITION IN CHILDREN 6 MONTHS TO 5 YEARS

To evaluate the management of severe acute malnutrition according to WHO guidelines in children. A prospective study was conducted at Paediatrics Department of Mother and Children Complex DHQ Hospital Sheikhupura from August 2021- August 2022. A total of 200 children with age range between 6 months and 5 years were included in the study. Personal information of patients was supposed to be recorded along with malnutrition classification, diagnostic signs, treatment and its outcomes according to the WHO guidelines. All the data was assessed by SPSS version 22. The staff did not record complete information such as family history, health condition of the child, and diagnostic signs. The weight for height Z score was calculated in all patients (100%). The classification of malnutrition was also not in adherence with WHO i.e seven types were recorded instead of two. Laboratory tests other than blood film , blood sugar and hemoglobin concentrations were not performed in any of the children. 82 (41%) children received intravenous dextrose. Rehydration solution for malnutrition was not administered to any of the children. Poor adherence to WHO guidelines regarding severe acute malnutrition was observed in children younger than 5.
THE COSMOS-WIRCam NEAR-INFRARED IMAGING SURVEY. I. BzK-SELECTED PASSIVE AND STAR-FORMING GALAXY CANDIDATES AT z ≳ 1.4

We present a new near-infrared survey covering the 2 deg2 COSMOS field conducted using WIRCam at the Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope. By combining our near-infrared data with Subaru B and z images, we construct a deep, wide-field optical–infrared catalog. At Ks < 23 (AB magnitudes), our survey completeness is greater than 90% and 70% for stars and galaxies, respectively, and contains 143,466 galaxies and 13,254 stars. Using the BzK diagram, we divide our galaxy catalog into quiescent and star-forming galaxy candidates. At z ∼ 2, our catalogs contain 3931 quiescent and 25,757 star-forming galaxies representing the largest and most secure sample at these depths and redshifts to date. Our counts of quiescent galaxies turns over at Ks ∼ 22, an effect that we demonstrate cannot be due to sample incompleteness. Both the number of faint and bright quiescent objects in our catalogs exceed the predictions of a recent semi-analytic model of galaxy formation, indicating potentially the need for further refinements in the amount of merging and active galactic nucleus feedback at z ∼ 2 in these models. We measure the angular correlation function for each sample and find that the slope of the field galaxy correlation function flattens to 1.5 by Ks ∼ 23. At small angular scales, the angular correlation function for passive BzK galaxies is considerably in excess of the clustering of dark matter. We use precise 30-band photometric redshifts to derive the spatial correlation length and the redshift distributions for each object class. At Ks < 22, we find rγ/1.80 = 7.0 ± 0.5h−1 Mpc for the passive BzK candidates and 4.7 ± 0.8 h−1 Mpc for the star-forming BzK galaxies. Our pBzK galaxies have an average photometric redshift of zp ∼ 1.4, in approximate agreement with the limited spectroscopic information currently available. The stacked Ks image will be made publicly available from IRSA.
Conditional stability for a single interior measurement

An inverse problem to identify unknown coefficients of a partial differential equation by a single interior measurement is considered. The equation considered in this paper is a strongly elliptic second order scalar equation which can have complex coefficients in a bounded domain with C2 boundary. We are given a single interior measurement. This means that we know a given solution of the forward equation in this domain. The equation includes some model equations arising from acoustics, viscoelasticity and hydrology. We assume that the coefficients are piecewise analytic. Our major result is the local Hölder stability estimate for identifying the unknown coefficients. If the unknown coefficient is a complex coefficient in the principal part of the equation, we assumed a condition which we name admissibility assumption for the real part and imaginary part of the difference of two complex coefficients. This admissibility assumption is automatically satisfied if the complex coefficients are real valued. For identifying either the real coefficient in the principal part or the coefficient of the 0th order of the equation, the major result implies global uniqueness for the identification.

Rigidity of square-tiled interval exchange transformations

We look at interval exchange transformations defined as first return maps on the set of diagonals of a flow of direction \begin{document}$ \theta $\end{document} on a square-tiled surface: using a combinatorial approach, we show that, when the surface has at least one true singularity both the flow and the interval exchange are rigid if and only if \begin{document}$ \tan\theta $\end{document} has bounded partial quotients. Moreover, if all vertices of the squares are singularities of the flat metric, and \begin{document}$ \tan\theta $\end{document} has bounded partial quotients, the square-tiled interval exchange transformation \begin{document}$ T $\end{document} is not of rank one. Finally, for another class of surfaces, those defined by the unfolding of billiards in Veech triangles, we build an uncountable set of rigid directional flows and an uncountable set of rigid interval exchange transformations.
The Numerical Computation of Unstable Manifolds for Infinite Dimensional Dynamical Systems by Embedding Techniques

In this work we extend the novel framework developed by Dellnitz, Hessel-von Molo and Ziessler to the computation of finite dimensional unstable manifolds of infinite dimensional dynamical systems. To this end, we adapt a set-oriented continuation technique developed by Dellnitz and Hohmann for the computation of such objects of finite dimensional systems with the results obtained in the work of Dellnitz, Hessel-von Molo and Ziessler. We show how to implement this approach for the analysis of partial differential equations and illustrate its feasibility by computing unstable manifolds of the one-dimensional Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation as well as for the Mackey-Glass delay differential equation.
Bernstein-Zelevinsky derivatives: a Hecke algebra approach

Let $G$ be a general linear group over a $p$-adic field. It is well known that Bernstein components of the category of smooth representations of $G$ are described by Hecke algebras arising from Bushnell-Kutzko types. We describe the Bernstein components of the Gelfand-Graev representation of $G$ by explicit Hecke algebra modules. This result is used to translate the theory of Bernstein-Zelevinsky derivatives in the language of representations of Hecke algebras, where we develop a comprehensive theory.
On Clifford's theorem for singular curves

Let C be a 2‐connected projective curve either reduced with planar singularities or contained in a smooth algebraic surface and let S be a subcanonical cluster (that is, a zero‐dimensional scheme such that the space H0(C, ℐS KC) contains a generically invertible section). Under some general assumptions on S or C, we show that h0(C, ℐS KC)⩽pa(C)−½ deg (S) and if equality holds then either S is trivial or C is honestly hyperelliptic or 3‐disconnected.
Lie algebras of differential operators: Extensions

The aim of this note is to introduce the notion of a $\operatorname{D}$-Lie algebra and to prove some elementary properties of $\operatorname{D}$-Lie algebras, the category of $\operatorname{D}$-Lie algebras, the category of modules on a $\operatorname{D}$-Lie algebra and extensions of $\operatorname{D}$-Lie algebras. A $\operatorname{D}$-Lie algebra is an $A/k$-Lie-Rinehart algebra equipped with an $A\otimes_k A$-module structure and a canonical central element $D$ and a compatibility property between the $k$-Lie algebra structure and the $A\otimes_k A$-module structure. Several authors have studied non-abelian extensions of Lie algebras, super Lie algebras, Lie algebroids and holomorphic Lie algebroids and we give in this note an explicit constructions of all non-abelian extensions a $\operatorname{D}$-Lie algebra $\tilde{L}$ by an $A$-Lie algebra $(W,[,])$ where $\tilde{L}$ is projective as left $A$-module and $W$ is an $A\otimes_k A$-module with $IW=0$ for $I$ the kernel of the multiplication map. As a corollary we get an explicit construction of all non-abelian extensions of an $A/k$-Lie-Rinehart algebra $(L,\alpha)$ by an $A$-Lie algebra $(W,[,])$ where $L$ is projective as left $A$-module.
Geometrically frustrated GdInO$_3$: An exotic system to study negative thermal expansion and spin-lattice coupling

In this article, we report negative thermal expansion and spin frustration in hexagonal GdInO$_{3}$. Rietveld refinement of the XRD patterns reveal that the negative thermal expansion in the temperature range of 50-100K stems from the triangular lattice of Gd$^{3+}$ ions. At low temperature, the downward deviation of the inverse susceptibility ($\chi^{-1}$) vs. $T$ plot from the Curie-Weiss law indicates spin frustration which inhibits long-range magnetic ordering down to 2K. Magnetostriction measurements clearly demonstrate a strong spin-lattice coupling. Low temperature anomalous phonon softening, as obtained from temperature dependent Raman measurements, also reveals the same. Our experimental observations are supported by first principles density functional theory calculations of the electronic and phonon dispersion of GdInO$_3$. The calculations suggest that the GdInO$_3$ lattice is highly frustrated at low temperature. Further, the calculated normal mode frequencies of the Gd related $\Gamma$ point phonons are found to depend on the magnetic structure of the lattice, suggesting significant magneto-elastic coupling.
Abnormal Haematological Indices in Cirrhosis in a Tertiary Care Hospital

Background: The haematological changes are common in cirrhosis of liver the cause of which is multifactorial. It should be correlated by determining the underlying pathology accordingly. Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate the pattern of change in Haematological indices in Cirrhosis of liver. Methods: This is a cross sectional prospective study conducted on purposely selected (non-probability) hospitalized patients admitted to Medicine, Gastroenterology and hepatology departments of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh. A total of 100 cases of cirrhosis were selected as per inclusion and exclusion criteria. After selection clinical history, meticulous physical examination and rational investigations were done. Data were collected as per a structured standard questionnaire and checklist. Data analysis was done using statistical software package SPSS 22.0 and was compared with other studies. Results: Anaemia was found in 81 cases out of 100 patients. Anaemia was morphologically normocytic in 46% patients which is the highest number in this study group. It was microcytic in 40% patients and macrocytic in 14%. Regarding Leukocyte count it was normal in 70(70%) patients, Leukopenia in 12(12%) and Leukocytosis in 18(18%) patients. Regarding platelet count it was normal in 46(46%), thrombocytopenia in 51(51%) but thrombocytosis in 3(3%) of cases. The average platelet count in thrombocytopenic patients was 90 X 1091 ± 23 X 109/L. Lastly, pancytopenia was present in 14(14%) patients. Among them, 10 patients (71%) had splenomegaly. Iron Profile was done in all patients of microcytic anaemia and it revealed 68% of them were iron deficiency anaemia. Prothrombin time was done in all patients and it was prolonged in 54 (54%) and its average value was 16.13±. 2.9 seconds. Conclusion: Haematological changes are common in cirrhosis of liver, the cause of which is multifactorial. Iron deficiency anaemia is the common type (68%). Prolong prothrombin time (54%) and thrombocytopenia (51%) are the common features.
Quasi-shuffle algebras and applications

Quasi-shuffle algebras have been a useful tool in studying multiple zeta values and related quantities, including multiple polylogarithms, finite multiple harmonic sums, and q-multiple zeta values. Here we show that two ideas previously considered only for multiple zeta values, the interpolated product of S. Yamamoto and the symmetric sum theorem, can be generalized to any quasi-shuffle algebra.
FROBENIUS ACTIONS ON LOCAL COHOMOLOGY MODULES AND DEFORMATION

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Noetherian local ring of characteristic $p>0$ . We introduce and study $F$ -full and $F$ -anti-nilpotent singularities, both are defined in terms of the Frobenius actions on the local cohomology modules of $R$ supported at the maximal ideal. We prove that if $R/(x)$ is $F$ -full or $F$ -anti-nilpotent for a nonzero divisor $x\in R$ , then so is $R$ . We use these results to obtain new cases on the deformation of $F$ -injectivity.
