Normative Beliefs and Values Shape Mother’s Care Seeking Behaviours for Skilled Birth Attendance (Sba) During Birthing in Africa: A Scoping Review Protocol

Background: Skilled birth attendance (SBA) during delivery has been associated with improved maternal health outcome. However, low utilisation of SBA during childbirth has continued in many developing countries including Zambia. An understanding of the beliefs and values and how mothers are influenced by relational normative motivations is critical in understanding some “hidden” barriers and facilitators to utilisation of SBA in health facilities.Methods: A scoping review of normative beliefs and values shaping care seeking behaviours for Skilled Birth Attendance by mothers in Africa will be conducted. Google scholar, PubMed, EBSCOhost, SCOPUS, Embase and WEB of Science will be searched for articles that meet the eligibility criteria. The primary search will include peer-reviewed articles. Further searches will be made on Research gate, including grey literature from university websites for dissertations and theses. We will also search reference lists for relevant articles and studies. Keyword searches will be used to identify articles. Two independent reviewers will begin screening for eligible titles, abstracts and full articles with a third reviewer to help resolve any disputes. During title and abstract screening, duplicates will be removed. Study selection will conform to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines, and the Mixed Method Appraisal Tool will determine the quality of included studies. Content analysis will be used to present the narrative Discussion: Understanding how individual mother’s health seeking behaviours for SBA and those close to them are influenced by their beliefs and values is critical to informing health systems on the possible “hidden” barriers and facilitators to utilisation of SBA in public health facilities. The review will complement evidence base on normative beliefs and values shaping care seeking behaviours for Skilled Birth Attendance by mothers in Africa.
Brain Dynamics Reflects Phonological And Semantic Top-Down Influences During Orthographic Processing Of Novel Word Forms

The acquisition of new vocabulary is usually mediated by previous experience with language. In visual domain, orthographically unfamiliar word-forms may already have corresponding phonological or even conceptual representations in linguistic system, which facilitates orthographic learning. The neural correlates of this advantage were investigated by recording EEG during reading novel and familiar words across three different experiments (n=22 each), manipulating the availability of previous knowledge for the novel written words. In Experiment 1, participants received no previous training before reading these stimuli; Experiments 2 and 3, however, provided a previous training (six exposures) in the phonology of novel words (auditory exposure) and in both phonology and meaning (auditory exposure + picture), respectively. During reading, a different pattern of ERP responses was found for the novel written words depending on their previous training, resembling cross-level top-down interactive effects during the process of vocabulary acquisition. Thus, whereas phonological experience produced a different modulation at early lexical (~180 ms) and post lexical (~520 ms) stages of visual recognition of novel written words, additional semantic training influenced their lexical processing at a later stage (~320 ms). Importantly, a clear lexicality effect was found at the early peak in experiment 1 (no previous training); however, neural responses for trained and familiar words were found indistinguishable at this latency regardless of the phonological or semantic nature of training, reflecting similar orthographic processing and word-form access. These results suggest the key role of phonology in orthographically transparent reading systems, in which bidirectional decoding mechanisms contribute to the rapid formation of novel word-form representations even in the absence of visual exposure.
The Adoption of e-Procurement and Its Impact on Corporate Success in Electronic Business

E-procurement encompasses a spectrum of buying applications, from simple Web-shopping on suppliers’ online interfaces or storefronts, participating in or organizing auctions to participating in or even actively operating buyside marketplaces, which can all be summarized as the “use of the Internet for purchasing and procurement”. The benefits from e-procurement, especially the potential savings, are often emphasized, and companies spend large sums on implementations. However, there is a lack of research providing broad empirical evidence on the effectiveness or business value of e-procurement at the corporate level. Based on a comprehensive theory background, we develop a research model for the adoption of e-procurement and its effect on corporate success in electronic business. Employing covariance structure analysis, we test our model against empirical data comprising 425 cases collected in a large-scale survey in the German-speaking market. We find that the perceived benefits are a driver for adoption, whereas the perceived effort is an inhibitor. Contrary to expectations, the perceived effort has a positive impact on the perceived benefits. While our results suggest that adoption rises with companies’ experience on the Web, no support can be found that adoption increases with company size. We also find that the adoption of e-procurement has a positive, but small impact on corporate success in electronic business.
Tactile Occupant Detection Sensor for Automotive Airbag

Automotive airbags protect occupants from crash forces during severe vehicle collisions. They absorb energy and restrain the occupants by providing a soft cushion effect known as the restraint effect. Modern airbags offer partial restraint effect control by controlling the bag’s vent holes and providing multi-stage deployment. Full restraint effect control is still a challenge because the closed-loop restraint control system needs airbag–occupant contact and interaction feedback. In this work, we have developed novel single and matrix capacitive tactile sensors to measure the occupant’s contact data. They can be integrated with the airbag surface and folded to follow the dynamic airbag shape during the deployment. The sensors are tested under a low-velocity pendulum impact and benchmarked with high-speed test videos. The results reveal that the single sensor can successfully measure occupant–airbag contact time and estimate the area, while the contact position is additionally identified from the matrix sensor.
A real-time FPGA-based cluster finding algorithm for LHCb silicon pixel detector

Starting from the next LHC run, the upgraded LHCb High Level Trigger will process events at the full LHC collision rate (averaging 30 MHz). This challenging goal, tackled using a large and heterogeneous computing farm, can be eased addressing lowest-level, more repetitive tasks at the earliest stages of the data acquisition chain. FPGA devices are very well-suited to perform with a high degree of parallelism and efficiency certain computations, that would be significantly demanding if performed on general-purpose architectures. A particularly time-demanding task is the cluster-finding process, due to the 2D pixel geometry of the new LHCb pixel detector. We describe here a custom highly parallel FPGA-based clustering algorithm and its firmware implementation. The algorithm implementation has shown excellent reconstruction quality during qualification tests, while requiring a modest amount of hardware resources. Therefore it can run in the LHCb FPGA readout cards in real time, during data taking at 30 MHz, representing a promising alternative solution to more common CPU-based algorithms.
Terahertz High-Q Absorber Based on Holes Array Perforated into a Metallic Slab

In this paper, we theoretically analyze and design a dual-narrowband terahertz (THz) absorber based on a hole array drilled into a metallic slab. A very high-quality factor (Q) is achieved at both of the resonance frequencies. A circuit model-based approach is developed for the analysis and design of the proposed absorber. The absorption peaks occur at 2.46 and 3.75 THz frequencies with 98% and 96% absorptions at normal incidence, respectively. The achieved quality factors are 149 and 144, at 50% absorbance for the two absorption bands, respectively.
Understanding the Consistency of Stack Overflow Code: A Cautionary Suggestion

Community Question and Answer platforms (CQA) use the power of online groups to solve or gain information about problems. Since these websites contain valuable information, high-quality data must be given on these pages, so that consumers may trust the data. Given the widespread usage of data in all parts of contemporary society, this is particularly important for software creation. Stack Overflow is CQA 's leading programmer platform, with a community of over 10 million contributors. Although research supports Stack Overflow's popularity, doubts have been posted about the consistency of the answers provided to stack overflow queries. Application fragments have been examined often found in these answers; nevertheless, the accuracy of these objects remains uncertain. It may present a challenge for the software development world, as data suggests that samples from Stack Overflow are widely included in both open source and commercial applications. By assessing the consistency of code snippets on Stack Overload, this work fills the void. I have discussed various facets of the quality of code excerpts, including usability and accordance with programming standards, readability, efficiency, and protection. Outcomes indicate variability in the consistency of Stack Overflow code snippets for the various dimensions; but generally, quality problems were not necessarily dangerous in Stack Overflow snippets. Vigilance with anyone that duplicate fragments of Stack Overflow code is urged.
Rotifer Diversity in Coal Mine Generated Pit Lakes of Raniganj Coal Field Area

The research looks at the rotifer diversity in five different coal mine generated pit lakes from Raniganj Coal Field Area (RCF), West Bengal, India. The collection methodology was involved monthly sampling (n = 120) to analyze the rotifer diversity using surface hauling with standard plankton net of mesh size 55 μm and water column at different depths (20 cm to 50 cm) for the periods of two years (February 2018 – January 2020). Analyzes of some limnological parameters and macrophytes were also performed following standard protocol. Statistical analysis based on the physicochemical parameters showed that Harabhanga and Dhandardihi 1 Pit Lakes were more similar while Dhandardihi 1 Pit Lake and Dhandardihi 2 Pit Lake were more alike in terms of rotifer community structure. Seventeen taxa of rotifers under the five families were found with varying densities and diversity indices. The highest diversity was observed in the Searsole Pit Lake, and the dominant species was Keratella tropica Apstein. The five pit lakes can be separated from each other based on the variations in rotifer diversity and water quality parameters, advocating the implementation of limnological management. Our results indicated different abiotic and biotic variables influencing the rotifer assemblages and diversity of the pit lakes studied.

However it fronts its own certain issues and problems at last, the outcomes are thought about and the best calculation for spam sifting for text informing is presented.
Customers’ Perception on Malaysian Street Food Quality

In a developed country like Malaysia, street food is an important culture that not only provide the means for income generation to the people, it is also a crucial part of culinary scene. However, over the years problem with foodborne illnesses involving this type of business has been identified as one of the main culprits, nevertheless the consumers still view street food as an essential provider for their daily meals. This study is conducted to identify the factors that influence Malaysian perceived quality regarding street food. A survey questionnaire among customers at three Pasar Malam has been undertaken with a total of 100 respondents where all the data were found usable. The survey was conducted at Kampung Baru Night, Taman Connaught and Little India, Brickfield. The results from descriptive analysis revealed that most of the respondents believe cleanliness is the most important factor in choosing the stall. The outcome also indicated that organization of the stalls will sway their decision in buying foods from certain vendors. Meanwhile service and the healthiness of the food offers is the least of their concern among these four factors.
Dose Effect of Caffeine Ingestion on Cardiac Parasympathetic Reactivation Following an Acute Bout of Anaerobic Performance Exercise in Recreational Athletes

Background: To examine the dose effects of caffeine ingestion on autonomic reactivation following anaerobic exercise. Methods: Recreationally active males (N=20; 24±2y) participated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study where participants ingested: (1) Control (CON; no supplement), (2) a non-caffeinated placebo (PLA), (3) 3-mg∙kg-1 of caffeine (CAF3) or (4) 6-mg∙kg-1 of caffeine (CAF6) prior to a Wingate testing. Parasympathetic (lnRMSSD, primary outcome) and global HRV (lnSDNN, secondary outcome) were assessed at rest (i.e., pre-ingestion), 45-min post-ingestion, and 5-min and 35-min post-exercise recovery. We used a GLM to assess mean (95% CI) changes from pre-ingestion baseline.Results: Overall, we observed a significant trend for lnRMSSD and lnSDNN (both, p=0.001, ηp2=0.745). Forty-five minutes after treatment ingestion, we observed a significant increase in lnRMSSD for CAF3 (0.15ms, 95%CI, 0.07,0.24) and CAF6 (0.16ms, 95%CI, 0.06,0.25), both being significant (both, p<0.004) vs. CON (-0.02ms, 95%CI, -0.09,0.04). Five-minutes after exercise, all treatments demonstrated significant declines in lnRMSSD vs. baseline (all, p<0.001). After 35-min of recovery, lnRMSSD returned to a levels not significantly different than baseline for CAF3 (0.03ms, 95%CI, -0.05, 0.12) and CAF6 (-0.03ms, 95%CI, -0.17, 0.10), while PLA (-0.16ms, 95%CI, -0.25, -0.06) and CON (-0.17ms, 95%CI, -0.28, -0.07) treatments remained significantly depressed. A similar pattern was also observed for SDNNConclusion: Caffeine ingestion increases resting cardiac autonomic modulation and accelerates post-exercise autonomic recovery after a bout of anaerobic exercise test in recreationally active young men. However, no differences between caffeine doses on cardiac autonomic reactivity were observed.
Predictors of dropout from maternal continuum of care in Ethiopia: evidence from the 2016 population-based health survey

IntroductionIntegrated primary health care service provided by skilled birth attendants is linked to safe childbirth and postnatal care, vitally improves maternal, newborn, and child health outcomes. Despite a significant reduction in maternal and neonatal mortality in Ethiopia, low maternal service utilization, and dropout from the maternal continuum of care continues to be a major challenge. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the individual and community predictors of dropout from the maternal continuum of care in Ethiopia.MethodsWe used data from the 2016 Ethiopian demographic and health survey (EDHS). Women who had a birth in the 5 years preceding the survey were included. Dropout from the maternal continuum of care was the outcome of this study. This includes, attending less than four antenatal care visits (<4 ANC), a dropout from skilled birth attendance (SBA) after having 4 or more ANC, and dropout from postnatal care (PNC) after having SBA. Multilevel logistic regression analysis was employed. The mixed effect and variation in the outcome were expressed by the intracluster correlation coefficient (ICC). ResultsHigher dropouts from SBA to PNC (85%) and from ≥4 ANC to SBA (43.4%) in the maternal continuum of care were observed. Women from the poorest wealth quantile (AOR=2.31,95% CI 1.69,3.16), not covered by health insurance (AOR=1.44, 95% CI, 1.01,2.06), and residing in a community with high poverty (AOR=1.28,95% CI, 1.01,1.63) were more likely to attend inadequate ANC. On the other side, distance from a health facility (AOR=1.45, 95% CI, 1.12,1.88), lower community media exposure (AOR=1.6, 95% CI, 1.14,2.23) and rural residency (AOR=3.03, 95% CI, 1.75,5.26) were associated with dropout from SBA after attending ANC visits. Living in Somali, Harari, and Dire Dawa significantly associated with drop out from the PNC after SBA.ConclusionThe pattern of dropout from the maternal continuum of care was higher in Ethiopia. Maternal education, wealth index, community media exposure, and distance from a health facility were the factors associated with dropouts from the maternal continuum of care. Home care strategies and contextual understanding of the barriers to the PNC service is needed.
Inexpensive 3D Stereo for Two Users Using a Single Display

Multiuser computer systems allow several users to collaborate on the same task. Medium sized displays, like workbenches or tabletops provide a shared view of the task and a set of input devices to interface with the system. Some of the existing installations also provide 3D stereoscopic viewing, often also shared by all the participants and therefore incorrect for all of them but one. In these cases a different stereoscopic view for each user is desirable. We implemented two hardware conﬁgurations that support independent stereo viewing for two users sharing a common display using a 120Hz monitor and a 120Hz projector. Our prototypes use off-the-shelf parts to create a functional, responsive and inexpensive two-user 3D stereo display system. We also apply our systems to a competitive game, where each user has a private stereoscopic view of the game table, and a two-user multimedia player, where each user can watch and hear a different video on the same display.
Robotic Edge Resource Allocation for Agricultural Cyber-Physical System

Cloud-aided robots are increasingly adopted in realizing Cyber-Physical-Social System (CPSS) to reduce human efforts and enhance the system performance with diverse robotic applications. However, the multi-hop distance from robot to cloud data centre elevates the data transfer delay that often inhibits the deadline-satisfied task execution of robotic applications. Thanks to edge computing, this issue can be well addressed by harnessing computing resources in proximity of data sources. As edge resources are constrained in energy and processing capacity, sharing resources among the tasks of multiple robotic applications is critical to ensure. Therefore, in this paper, we develop a congestion game-theoretic robotic edge resource allocation mechanism for CPSS, which not only maintains the Quality-of-Service (QoS) by meeting task completion deadlines but also satisfies the energy constraints of resources. Here, Agriculture 4.0 is considered as a use case for the proposed mechanism which can be extended for other domains. Nevertheless, the performance evaluation of proposed mechanism is conducted in an iFogSim simulated edge computing environment. In comparison with existing greedy, heuristic, and evolutionary benchmarks, our mechanism is proven to offer overall 20% improvement in deadline satisfaction, energy consumption, and resource utilization.
A Profile of Wild Pig Hunters in Texas, USA

Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) are a widespread exotic, invasive species that poses ecological, agricultural, and human health risks in invaded areas. Wildlife managers often manage wild pig abundance and expansion to mitigate these risks. The diversity of stakeholders involved in the issue of wild pig management complicates efforts to manage the species, and, to be successful, wildlife professionals should consider the human dimensions associated with wild pig management. The prevalence of privately owned lands in Texas, USA necessitates cooperation to enact effective management policies. In this study, we investigate the factors that affect a hunter’s likelihood to participate in wild pig hunting. Multiple factors affect participation in wild pig hunting activities. We found that participation in other types of big game hunting increased the likelihood of participation in wild pig hunting and that wild pig hunting does not deter individuals from participating in other types of hunting activities. Additionally, hunters’ attitudes toward wild pigs are important in determining the likelihood of participation in wild pig hunting. Finally, our results suggest that hunters are largely uninformed about wild pigs and do not hold the same perceptions, values, or tolerance levels of the species. The diversity of preferences among wild pig hunters necessitates that wildlife managers consider the desires of the public as well as natural resource needs in creating socially acceptable management plans for the species.
Application of Epoxy Resin in Synchronous Reluctance Motors With Fluid-Shaped Barriers for E-Mobility

This article deals with the design of a synchronous reluctance (SynRel) motor for full-electric vehicle applications. In particular, the design is focused on “premium” vehicles and aims at the development of rare-earth free electric motor technologies featuring low cost manufacturing. Different solutions are proposed and compared with focus on the rotor design; the investigated topologies employ asymmetric rotor structures with “fluid shaped” barriers without radial ribs to maximize the average torque and minimize the torque ripple. As this choice is very critical for the mechanical strength of the rotor core at high speed, it has been decided to fill the flux barriers with epoxy adhesive resin. The use of the resin requires accurate mechanical analysis in order to assess the rotor robustness at high speed. The article presents the performance of optimized designs without radial ribs and it is focused on the identification of the best properties for an epoxy resin able to enhance the mechanical integrity of the rotor. Moreover, experimental tests on resin cylinder samples have been carried out in order to verify the contact pressure between the resin and a laminated core. The results of this study could be a useful guideline for the designers interested in using this technology for high speed SynRel motors.
