Effectiveness of drug dependence treatment in preventing HIV among injecting drug users. Final draft.

The aim of this review is to consider the effectiveness of drug dependence treatment in preventing HIV among injecting drug users. It is one of a number of reviews of public health strategies for HIV prevention that have the overall aim of providing the best currently available evidence as to the value and benefit of different interventions to reduce the risk of HIV transmission. As such this paper aims to provide guidance on the effectiveness of interventions for injecting drug users in the context of a strategic approach to the prevention of HIV/AIDS. All types of drugs that are commonly injected (heroin cocaine amphetamines) and all forms of drug treatment (agonist pharmacotherapy abstinence-based and behavioural interventions either alone or in combination with pharmacotherapy) are within the scope of this review.

RUNX1 Mutation in Cytogenetically Normal Acute Myeloid Leukemia : Clinical Implications, Co-Mutation Analysis

Background and Objectives Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a cytogenetically and molecularly heterogeneous disease. In the recent decades, many genetic mutations and their clinical significances in AML have been identified with the development of new genomics technology. Based on these advances, new 2 entities were added to the WHO 2008 classification : AML with mutated NPM1 and AML with mutated CEBPA. Likewise, AML with RUNX1 mutation are now considered as a new provisional entity in the next update of WHO classification. In this work, we characterized patients with cytogenetically normal AML according to RUNX1 mutational status and analyzed several co-mutations by next generation sequencing. Patients and Methods A total of 419 patients were included in the present study who met the following eligibility criteria: 1) age ≥ 15 years; 2) a diagnosis of AML with normal karyotype confirmed by conventional cytogenetic analysis. Analysis of genetic mutations were performed using targeted resequencing by Illumina Hiseq 2000 (Sureselect custom probe set targeting 94 myeloid gene panel including RUNX1 mutation). Samples for the confirmation of first complete response were also analyzed in 163 patients. The majority of patients (97%) received 93+79 standard induction chemotherapy. Median age was 53(range 15-84). Results Overall, most common mutations for this cohort were NPM1 (33.9%), DNMT3A (30.3%), NRAS (20.2%), IDH2 (15.0%), FLT3 (12.2%), CEBPA (11.1%). RUNX1 mutations were found in 22 of 419 (5.4%) patients. 7 of 13 available samples in complete remission still had RUNX1 mutation. The patients with RUNX1 mutations were older than those with wild-type RUNX1. (p=0.006) and RUNX1 mutation had a trend of male preponderance. The WBC count and blast percentage of peripheral blood and bone marrow were not different according to RUNX1 mutational status. The complete response rate was significantly lower in RUNX1 mutated group compared with wild-type group. (57% vs. 84%, p=0.005) In univariable survival analysis, RUNX1 mutations were significantly associated with inferior event-free survival (EFS) (p RUNX1 mutation was not an independent prognostic factor for inferior EFS (hazard ratio(HR) 1.48, p=0.286), RFS (HR 2.15, p=0.057) OS (HR 1.14, p=0.716). Co-mutation analysis revealed that ASXL1 (26%,p=0.001), KRAS (26%, p=0.009), BCOR (16%, p=0.032) were correlated with RUNX1 mutation. None of the patients with RUNX1 mutation had NPM1 mutation and only one patient had CEBPA mutation. Conclusion In cytogenetically normal AML, RUNX 1 mutation is observed in 5.4% and is mutually exclusive of the NPM1 and CEBPA mutation. Older age and lower complete response rate is correlated with RUNX1 mutation. In univariable survival analysis, RUNX1 mutation is associated with poor clinical outcomes. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
Optimal Learning, Overvaluation and Overinvestment

Periods of technological revolution are usually associated with overvaluation of and overinvestment by innovating firms. This paper develops a model that explains this behavior in a frictionless rational setting. When fully rational innovating firms face uncertainty about the returns to scale of their production functions, overinvestment emerges as the optimal way to learn about the returns to scale. The optimal learning is also shown to produce overvaluation. The model is also able to generate what an observer ex-post would identify as bubbles followed by overcorrection, negative excess returns in early periods, negative autocorrelation in excess returns and market-to-book and size effects.

Syrian Refugee Women in Jordan: Family Planning Preferences and Barriers in a Host Community

The aims of this pilot study were to research and analyze the availability of birth control and family planning resources among Syrian refugee women at a reproductive age. This study took place in the host community of Karak, Jordan. Syrian women are a vulnerable population based solely on their gender. But being refugee women makes them more vulnerable and sometimes, their needs do not get met. This study is important because it will look into reproductive health aspects for this vulnerable population to ensure that there is satisfaction among women about their own health. This cross-sectional study sought to answer questions of accessibility to birth control, availability of support surrounding family planning, and overall satisfaction among Syrian refugee women about their current reproductive health care, specifically regarding birth control and family planning. The questions were answered by surveying a convenience sample of 13 Syrian women and by interviewing five Syrian women. The survey findings concluded that although 71% of the women surveyed found their reproductive health care provider to be extremely or somewhat trustworthy, nearly 86% of those women said their health care provider did not initiated a conversation about birth control, causing a lack of awareness. In regards to support mechanisms, only 36% of women surveyed had attended an informal support group. Many women interviewed stated that birth control was harder to access in Jordan than in Syria due to lack of affordability and health insurance. Limitations include small sample size and short time frame, which calls for further study on this topic. Although limitations were in place, this study suggests that birth control be more prevalent and discussed more in reproductive health clinics while being made more affordable.
Effect of Food Intake on Intravoxel Incoherent Motion and T2* in the Healthy Liver

Introduction: To evaluate the effect of increasing portal flow due to food intake on the parameters of Intravoxel Incoherent Motion (IVIM) and T2* relaxation time in healthy liver. Materials and methods: The subjects consisted of 15 healthy volunteers. We used a 1.5 T MRI system. All subjects received MRI three times as follows: after overnight fasting but before food intake, at 30 min, and at 4 h after food intake. MRI was repeated at a greater than 1 week interval. All subjects had 800 kcal of Calorie Mate. The echoplanar diffusion-weighted imaging was performed under free breathing and 10 b-values (0, 10, 20, 30, 50, 80, 100, 200, 400, 800 s/mm2) were obtained. T2*-weighted imaging with multi-echo gradient-echo sequence was performed with Siemens MapIt software under breath-holding. The portal flow measurement was performed with phase contrast sequence. The parameters of IVIM including ADC, DC, D*, and PF were calculated and T2* relaxation time was obtained using MapIt. Results: The portal blood flow increased significantly 30 min after food intake (P<0.0001). The ADC, DC, D*, PF and T2* values after overnight fasting, at 30 min, and at 4 h after food intake showed no significant differences after food intake. Conclusion: Increasing portal venous flow after food intake does not affect IVIM parameters and T2* of liver parenchyma in healthy volunteers.
To Come Out or Not to Come Out: Minority Religious Identity Self-Disclosure in the United States Workplace

Situated in communication privacy management (CPM) theory, this study found that anticipated risk was the strongest predictor of minority religious identity disclosure at work. Older workers who regarded non-Christian belief or non-belief as central to who they were and who worked in smaller organizations disclosed their identity more than other participants. The follow-up analyses also revealed that the degree of disclosure varied by ethnicity, geographic region, religion, job rank, and membership in the organization’s dominant religion. Religious accommodation policy and religious centrality were associated with increased anticipation of benefits, which in turn was linked to increased disclosure. Finally, sense of belonging was associated with increased anticipation of benefits and decreased anticipation of risks, which also indirectly impacted disclosure. This study added more depth to CPM privacy rules and provided a broader understanding of minority religious identity disclosure at work. Recommendations for creating a religiously inclusive workplace and directions for future studies are provided.
Millennials’ Purchase Intention and Its Effect On Purchase Decision of Eco-Friendly Cosmetic Products in Pekanbaru

Human awareness in protecting the environment has increased along with global environmental issues. This prompts companies to compete to make and sell green products to customers. This study aims to analyse determinants of consumer purchase intention and its effect on consumer purchase decision. Questionnaire from two hundred (200) respondents consisting of millennials in Pekanbaru have been gathered and analysed. Regression analysis method is used in this study by using validity, reliability and multicollinearity test. The result shows that green knowledge and green attitude do not influence consumer purchase intention significantly. However, environmental concern influences consumer purchase intention while consumer purchase intention influences consumer purchase decision significantly. From the result of this study, it is clear that The Body Shop needs to emphasize to customers on the importance of using eco-friendly products both for the environment and themselves.
More robust changes in the East Asian winter monsoon from 1.5 to 2.0°C global warming targets

This study investigates changes in the East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM) under 1.5 and 2.0°C global warming (1.5 and 2.0GW) targets using multi‐model results from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5). It is found that the surface air temperature increases over the Asian continent and Pacific, and the precipitation increases over the northern Asian continent in winter during the 1.5 and 2.0GW periods. For the 1.5GW period, large uncertainties can be found in the projection of EAWM system members (i.e., Siberian high, Aleutian low, low‐level winds over eastern Asia, East Asian trough [EAT] and East Asian jet stream [EAJS]). For the 2.0GW period, more than two‐thirds of the models show that the Siberian high, the EAT and the meridional shear of the EAJS are weakened, but the Aleutian low is intensified. In addition, the intensified Aleutian low enhances low‐level northwesterly wind along the coast of northeastern Asia. Compared to those in the 1.5GW period, the EAWM system members show more robust changes during the 2.0GW period, except for the low‐level winds at mid‐latitude eastern Asia. These conclusions are suitable for both the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios.
Populist online communication: Interactions among politicians, journalists, and citizens (Dissertation summary)

The recent rise of populist politicians in Western democracies is often associated with their allegedly successful use of digital media. However, for a long time, there has been little research specifically on populist online communication. To address this substantial research gap, the thesis pursues two major research aims: First, it investigates drivers of populist communication in politicians’ online self-presentation and online news media representation. Second, the thesis examines the effects of populist online communication on citizens’ behavior in the form of user reactions to politicians’ social media posts and reader comments on online news articles. Based on five internationally comparative studies and the overarching synopsis, the cumulative thesis demonstrates that populist online communication is driven by the reciprocal interactions among politicians, journalists, and citizens and is influenced by various factors on the macro, meso, and micro level. Furthermore, it shows that populist online communication resonates with citizens and is multiplied by them – specifically by citizens with prior strong populist attitudes. By analyzing the interactions of three key actor groups – politicians, journalists, and citizens – and by following a multimethod approach the dissertation connects research on both the supply and demand side of populism.
Nursing Interventions to Support Initiation and Continuation of Breastfeeding for Low-Income Mothers within a Community Setting

The purpose of this paper is to determine factors related to socioeconomic status that affect a mother’s ability to breastfeed and the role that nurses play in breastfeeding promotion within a community setting. Research is conducted through a review of the literature and interviews with licensed lactation consultants and Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) employees in order to determine various nursing interventions that are most effective in promoting breastfeeding of the specified population. Contributing factors that enhance breastfeeding rates will be included in the review of literature and discussion of findings. Current statistics suggest that there is a disparity in breastfeeding rates between the general population and those women enrolled in supplemental feeding programs such as Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). Per WIC, in 2015 only 30.9% of WIC infants were exclusively breastfed nationally and only 12.9% of those infants were exclusively breastfed until 6 months of age. This paper will examine the various influences that affect breastfeeding rates and how nurses can be utilized in community settings to support mothers of low socioeconomic status.
A comparison study of 2 mg versus 4 mg of dexamethasone combined with local anesthetic drug in increasing the analgesic duration of a single-shot supraclavicular brachial plexus block

Background: Addition of dexamethasone tolocal anesthetic can prolong the analgesic duration inperipheral nerve block. However, the proper addingdose of dexamethasone for brachial plexus blockcan not be concluded. Objectives: To compare theanalgesic duration of dexamethasone 2 versus4 mg added to local anesthetic drugs followingsupraclavicular brachial plexus block. Methods: Thisstudy was a double-blinded randomized controlledtrial. Fifty seven patients undergoing upper extremitysurgery were randomly assigned to 3 groups. Allpatients received 20 ml of 2% lidocaine withadrenaline 5 mcg/ml and 10 ml of 0.5% bupivacainefor supraclavicular brachial plexus block. Samevolume of normal saline, dexamethasone 2 mg anddexamethasone 4 mg were added to local anestheticsin C group, Dex2 group and Dex4 group, respectively.Results: Median and 95% CI of analgesic durationin Dex2 and Dex4 group were 620(440-837),894(652-960) minutes which were longer than C group[335(259-491)] significantly (p-value 0.001). Analgesicduration in Dex4 group was longer than Dex2 group(p-value < 0.05). Both of dexamethasone groups hadlonger duration of motor block than C group [Dex2group 525(441-720), Dex4 group 518(467-840),C group 420(310-483) minutes, p-value 0.0028). However, there was no difference in duration ofmotor block between Dex2 and Dex4 group.Morphine consumption in C group was more thanboth of dexamethasone groups. No adverse eventswere noted in all groups. Conclusion: Addingdexamethasone 4 mg in supraclavicular BPB haslonger duration of analgesia than dexamethasone2 mg with a comparable duration of motor block.
Using Physical Objects as a Portal to Reveal Academic Subject Identity and Thought

We are lecturers who help students studying subjects that use word-based writing, non-word based writing such as Mathematics, and non-text based language such as visual semiotics. To access examples of such language with subject lecturers we have found traditional interviews or focus groups ineffective, and realised that in these, although lecturers could talk about key psychological elements of the language, they had no focus to produce any examples of it. However, we suspected that providing a physical object to describe and discuss would create a context for lecturers to produce the language. Thus, we gave a brightly coloured teapot to Nursing, Psychology, Design, and Engineering lecturers to describe and evaluate in their subjects. This gave us almost instantaneous access to the subject context. For example, Nursing lecturers described and evaluated the teapot for hygiene and patient safety, Engineering lecturers did so for material properties and calculations required. Unexpectedly, many lecturers related how an identity underpinned their language. Thus, the teapot operated as a portal to reveal academic subject identity and thought. We relate how this has helped us in our teaching and suggest ways others can use physical objects in qualitative research to access and research identity and thought.

Number Sense and the Effects on Students’ Mathematical Success

This literature review’s main focus discussed how number sense effect students’ mathematical achievement and what strategies teachers can use to build students’ number sense. While researching number sense, it was often found that explicit instruction, teacher knowledge, and socio-economic status impacts students’ knowledge of number sense. It has been found that the earlier students start learning simple math skills the better it will be on their math development as they go into kindergarten and get older. In knowing the importance of number sense, teachers have to know what strategies they should use to support all students build number sense. A common instructional strategy used to teach number sense, is explicit instruction. A few of the many instructional strategies explained in more detail include: Five frames, number lines, think alouds, and concrete to abstract representations. Teachers need to have the knowledge of how strategies can be used to support students’ mathematical understanding. This literature review will also look at instructional strategies, future research, memorizing versus understanding, and the literacy connection of number sense.
Driving Behavior and the Price of Gasoline: Evidence from Fueling-Level Micro Data

We use novel microdata on on-road fuel consumption and prices paid for fuel in Japan to estimate short-run price elasticities of demand for gasoline consumption. We have three main findings. First, our elasticity estimates of roughly -0.37 are in orders of magnitude larger than previously estimated using more aggregate data. Second, we are one of the first papers to separately estimate both the price elasticities of miles driven (-0.30) and on-road fuel economy (0.07). Lastly, we find that on-road fuel economy is determined by recent prices than distant past prices paid, suggesting limited habit formation of fuel-conserving driving behaviors.
