Childbirth Preparation using Behavioral-Cognitive Skill in Childbirth Outcomes of Primiparous Women

Childbirth Preparation using Behavioral-Cognitive Skill in Childbirth Outcomes of Primiparous Women M Khoursandi, K Vakilian *, M Torabi Goudarzi, M Abdi Abstract: (1870 Views) BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To create new developmental tasks, such as motherhood, pregnancy is a critical period for woman. Nowadays, due to the stress of birth, womens desire to cesarean delivery has increased. This research is designed to identify the effect of educational coping skills on labor outcome . METHODS: In this interventional study, 64 primiparous women were included in this study by cluster method and were randomly divided into two groups of case and control (32 subjects in each group). The experimental group attended eight coping skills sessions in 18-22 weeks of pregnancy and control group received routine antenatal care. Labor outcome were evaluated and compared in two groups. FINDINGS: Mean age in case and control groups was 20.25±1.40 and 20.43±1.86 years, respectively. There was a significant difference between two groups in requesting cesarean delivery [ 3 subjects (10%) in case group versus 12 (48%) in control group] (p=0.002). However caesarean rate, low birth weight and preterm neonate in case group were less than control group, but the difference was not significant. CONCLUSION: According to the results, childbirth preparation using behavioral-cognitive skill is a suitable method in decreasing childbirth outcomes including requesting cesarean delivery. Keywords: Coping skills, Stress, Normal delivery.
Gasvormige emissies uit het melkveebedrijf van de familie Spruit. III. Mestopslag buiten de stal

Dit rapport is deel III van het project die door Agrotechnology and Food Innovations werd uitgevoerd om de gasvormige emissies van het melkveehouderijbedrijf van de familie Spruit te meten. Hier worden de ammoniakemissies uit de mestopslag buiten de stal gepresenteerd. Naast de mestopslag onder de roostervloer van de ligboxenstal wordt een deel van de mest, afkomstig van de grupstal en de jongveehuisvesting op stro, opgeslagen in een vaste mestopslag. De bereiding van het uiteindelijke bemestingsproduct (gecomposteerde vaste mest) bestaat uit het regelmatig omscheppen van de mest waarbij deze gemengd wordt met mengmest vanuit de ligboxenstal, aangevoerde paardenmest en koolstof. Naast de vorming van ammoniak kan bij compostering ook een aanzienlijke hoeveelheid methaan en lachgas vrijkomen. Hieraan zijn ook metingen uitgevoerd.
Clinical evaluation of virechana and Nisha loha in the Management of Pandu roga w.s.r. To Iron deficiency Anaemia

Pandu roga (Anaemia) is one of the commonest and most prevalent diseases known to humans. It is a multifactorial disease involving multiple facet, different srotus, dhatus and ojas, hence require a multi-dimensional treatment modality in the form of Shodhana and Shamana. The cardinal feature of Pandu is Pandutha, which causes for the impairment of the colour and the complexion of the person. Though the pandu correlated with Iron Deficiency Anaemia, it is not merely deficiency of a mineral but various factors are involved in the absorption, conversion, utilisatiion where liver plays a major role. Therefore classical sneha panoktha virechana has been evaluated as its treatment modality along with Nisha Loha, which is a drug having Loha bhasma as its major ingredient. 50 patients of pandu roga of different age and sex have been selected for the present study among which 25 patients were given Dadimadi ghrutha snehapana and Trivruth churna virechana followed by Nisha Loha and 15 patients were given Nisha Loha without shodhana.
Robust and secure image transmission in Wireless Sensor Networks using enhanced compression and encryption

Security in Wireless Sensor Networks has become very much important as sensor networks are being used for sensitive applications like weather forecasting, military, medicine etc. In Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) the base station collect data from the sensor nodes and is then transmitted to the Service provider via internet. Several Imaging Sensors are also used in WSN for environmental monitoring, biomedical applications etc. Image compression and image encryption are pivotal to proper storage and transmission of images in WSN. The severe resource constraints in a sensor node make it very challenging to secure sensor networks using existing strong security mechanisms. Asymmetric cryptographic algorithms are not much suitable for providing security in wireless sensor networks due to limited computation, power, and storage resources available on sensor nodes. Therefore, the energy-efficient security protocol proposed in this paper uses symmetric cryptographic algorithms to support security. Enhanced and energy efficient image compression and encryption proposed in this paper aims at achieving enhanced bandwidth utilization and security.
XenMon: QoS Monitoring and Performance Profiling Tool

The goal of this short paper is twofold: 1) it briefly describes a new performance monitoring tool, XenMon, that we built for the Xen-based virtual environment, and 2) it presents a performance case study that demonstrates and explains how different metrics reported by XenMon can be used in gaining insight into an application’s performance and its resource usage/requirements, especially in the case of I/O intensive applications.
Sonographer-Identified Barriers and Facilitators to Prenatal Screening for Congenital Heart Disease

Background: Fetal ultrasound screening for congenital heart disease has high detection rates in efficacy studies but not in practice. We investigated sonographers’ perspectives on barriers to screening and their association with intermediate measures of cardiac imaging. Methods: Barriers to fetal heart screening were identified in focus groups with obstetric sonographers. A web-based survey measured reported barriers and sonographers’ ability to interpret fetal heart screening images. Generalized linear random effect models assessed associations between barriers and image interpretation. Results: Four themes were identified: intrinsic barriers (self-efficacy), external barriers (time), informational needs, and provider and patient expectations. Among 224 sonographers surveyed, an average of 77.6% of fetal heart images were interpreted correctly. Perceptions about self-efficacy (P = .03) and ease of performing imaging (P = .01) were associated with accuracy of image interpretation. Conclusions: Several sonographer-identified barriers associated with image interpretation may be novel targets for improving prenatal detection of congenital heart disease.
Abstract P285: Diastolic Dysfunction After Estrogen Loss is Linked to Cardiac Chymase in WKY but Not SHR Rats

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) develops in response to hypertension and estrogen (E2) loss and is consequent to heart failure in women. To understand the mechanisms underlying the development of LVDD as a result of the interaction between E2 loss and the cardiac RAS, we compared the relationships of LV tissue RAS components and E/e′ between adult SHR (n=13) and WKY (n=9) female rats after ovariectomy (OVX) or sham surgery (intact). In intact rats, E/e′ was higher in SHR vs. WKY rats (P While relationships between RAS enzymatic activities and E/e′ were not significant in SHRs with respect to estrogen status (data not shown), OVX-induced increases in E/e′ were significantly linked to increases in chymase gene expression and enzymatic activity in the WKY strain (Figure). These data indicate that 1) the altered diastolic function in SHR is relatively insensitive to loss of estrogen while the opposite is true in WKY rats, and 2) OVX-induced LVDD in WKY is directly related to increases in cardiac chymase activity. Further elucidation of the interplay between an activated cardiac chymase-mediated RAS metabolism and LVDD following estrogen loss in normotensive subjects is warranted.

Frame Stories for Writing the History of French Silent Cinema

Abstract This essay has two objectives. First, to survey the kinds of historical writing that have taken French silent cinema as their subject, especially over the past ten to twenty years. Here the focus is not only on the results of researching new archive sources but on a paradigm shift in how historians address André Bazin's famous question, ‘What is cinema? ’ This section covers work ranging from studies of the French film industry as well as neglected film-makers and stars to work on exhibition, audiences, and reception. Second, to sketch several new directions for researching and writing the history of French silent cinema. These include a re-examination of what exactly is ‘French’ about French silent cinema (in what ways can it be called a ‘national’ cinema? ), an investigation into how Pathé-Frères films in particular created an early form of what Miriam Hansen has called ‘vernacular modernism’ (readable throughout the world) that then was superseded by the ‘classical Hollywood cinema’, and an exploration of how the global penetration of French films (especially those of Pathé-Frères) before the Great War created conditions for the emergence of ‘national’ cinemas in such different countries as the USA and Russia, Tunisia and Mexico.
Doctors’ health: stigma and the professional discomfort in seeking help

I describe the needs for and impediments in provision of psychological support services for doctors. Morbidity and the resistance in the profession to addressing their own health needs are discussed. I also explore the principles of bespoke services for doctors, with particular emphasis on overcoming stigma and facilitating therapeutic engagement. I argue that triage is an inappropriate service model of care for doctors.
Autonomic Ontologies for Governamental Knowledge Base

Ontologies are used as models to represent the semantics of the underlying data. The increasing am ount of semantic data brings along important technical chal lenges for development and maintenance of domain ontologies. O ur approach aims to provide the ontologies with capaci ty to evolve through the follow characteristics: (1) have a direct connection with the real world; (2) be able to execute actions in response to external stimuli; (3) execute actions faster tha n the human response. In other words, a system with proactive b ehavior must detect symptoms and must be able to handle suc h situations without human supervision. The paper des cribes the governmental knowledge base constructed from Brazil ian laws and how it is linked and managed by domain ontologi es through the autonomic computing paradigm to implement the proactive behavior. The autonomic characteristics were obtained through architecture that treats ontologies as knowledge that requires a management system to moni tor known symptoms and execute specified actions on und esirable scenarios. The existing ontologies in the SIOP-LEGI S [3] repository are currently monitored for symptoms presented in this paper and it reached the ability to recommend actions for domain ontologies ́ evolution. We envision the autonmic architecture will be able to take actions regarding Service Level Agreement (SLA) and improve the human/system interaction. Keywords-Knowledge base; Linked Data; Autonomic Computing; Ontologies.
Property Enforcement for Partially-Observed Discrete-Event Systems

Property Enforcement for Partially-Observed Discrete-Event Systems by Xiang Yin Chair: Stéphane Lafortune Engineering systems that involve physical elements, such as automobiles, aircraft, or electric power pants, that are controlled by a computational infrastructure that consists of several computers that communicate through a communication network, are called Cyber-Physical Systems. Ever-increasing demands for safety, security, performance, and certification of these critical systems put stringent constraints on their design and necessitate the use of formal model-based approaches to synthesize provably-correct feedback controllers. This dissertation aims to tackle these challenges by developing a novel methodology for synthesis of control and sensing strategies for Discrete Event Systems (DES), an important class of cyber-physical systems. First, we develop a uniform approach for synthesizing property enforcing supervisors for a wide class of properties called information-state-based (IS-based) properties. We then consider the enforcement of non-blockingness in addition to IS-based properties. We develop a finite structure called the All Enforcement Structure (AES) that embeds all valid supervisors. Furthermore, we propose novel and general approaches to solve the sensor activation problem for partially-observed DES. We extend our results for the sensor activation problem from the centralized case to the decentralized case.
Conceptual modelling of behaviour in a virtual environment

Now, the design of a Virtual Reality (VR) application is still a specialised and time consuming task. Many techniques and software tools have been created facilitating the development process. However, they require considerable knowledge of VR technology. Furthermore, modelling the behaviours of the objects in a Virtual Environment (VE) requires programming skills. For this reason, we have developed an approach called 'VR-WISE' that allows specifying a VR application at a conceptual level, free from implementation details and from the viewpoint of a domain expert, allowing non-VR experts to participate in the design of VEs. This approach uses ontologies, incorporating domain knowledge and high-level modelling concepts for describing the VE. In this paper, we explain how object-behaviour can be described at a conceptual level. We show how simple behaviours can be combined for composing complex behaviours. We illustrate the different modelling concepts by means of examples.
Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Glycopyrrolate in the Horse

Glycopyrrolate is a muscarinic receptor antagonist typically used in veterinary medicine to inhibit gastrointestinal motility and block the effects of vagal stimulation during anesthesia. It is reportedly used in horseracing to reduce bronchial secretions despite the fact that it is a prohibited substance. Regulating legitimate medications in horseracing relies on the development of industry threshold limits and recommended withholding times. Therefore pharmacokinetics studies are important for determining drug plasma and urine concentrations following a typical often clinically relevant dosage.
EVALUATION OF RESULTS OF WIDE RESECTION AND RECONSTRUCTION USING NON - VASCULARISED IPSILATERAL PROXIMAL FIBULA FOR GIANT CELL TUMOR OF LOWER END OF RADIUS

BACKGROUND: Giant cell tumour of bone can occur at lower end of Radius and it is the third common site. The tumour has to be treated properly to prevent recurrence. Various methods of treatment are available and resection and reconstruction using ipsilateral upper end of fibula is one of the methods available. METHODS: The patients who had GCT lower end of Radius and attended the hospital for treatment were taken in this retrospective study. The tumour was evaluated clinically and with X-ray and MRI. The tumour was confirmed by FNAC or biopsy. The tumour was resected and reconstruction of the Radius was done using non-vascularised ipsilateral fibula. RESULTS: There were ten patients in this study, six males and four females with age varying from 25 to 41 years and follow up period varied from 36 to 60 months. The results were assessed by musculoskeletal tumour society score. Average grip strength was 65% of normal and over all functional range combined movements was 155 degrees which is comparable to published reports. The result was good in eight patients and in two cases there was mild subluxation of wrist joint which was graded as fair. There was no recurrence of tumour. CONCLUSIONS: GCT of lower end of Radius treated with resection and reconstruction using nonvacularised ipsilateral fibula gives good result cosmetically and functionally.
A View from the Bridge: How Administrators Perceive Theatre and GenEd Reform

In 1991 I found myself appointed to a task force engaged in the development of a new college core curriculum funded by a grant from the Association of American Colleges and Universities. It was during this time that I became aware of developments in national curriculum reform and new models of learning designed to meet the changing needs of contemporary American society. While theatre studies is not an active player in curriculum reform initiatives, I remain involved in General Education issues mainly because the initiatives established by GenEd guidelines share common ground with the philosophies that support our theatre and drama programs. Through a series of conversations with administrators, I discovered some reasons why innovative general education programs often disregard theatre arts courses. I want to offer my findings in an effort to encourage theatre faculty to consider the importance of their programs becoming more aggressively involved in curriculum reform on their campuses.
Spooning Good Singing Gum: Meaning, Association, and Interpretation in Rock Music

Since at least the early 1950s, scholars and critics from widely varying backgrounds have attempted to come to terms with the musics collectively known as "rock," returning again and again to the issue of meaning. Predictably, their answers to the implied question are as varied as their intellectual standpoints. Some scholars, for example, have viewed rock through the lenses of mass and youth culture, drawing on the work of Theodor Adorno and a large body of sociological writing. Others, coming to rock from cultural studies and literary theory, have conceptualized it as a series of "texts" that comment on and reflect current debates on cultural identity, hegemony, resistance, gender and sexuality (Frith and Goodwin 1990; Hesmondhalgh 1996). Writers for the popular press, meanwhile, have tended to focus on issues of authenticity, originality and rebellion, particularly in canonizing iconic figures like Elvis Presley, Sid Vicious, or Kurt Cobain. In reading all this work, some fans or aficionados of rock (including scholars and critics) are likely to be dissatisfied. To them it might seem that (other) rock commentators are either focusing on too narrow a portion of the musical landscape-discussing it in ways that ren­ der it nearly unrecognizable-or missing the point of the music alto­ gether. Whatever the point, to such fans rock is potentially about more than youth culture, the (re)production of ideology, or authenticity and rebellion. 2 The question, of course, is what "more" there might be and, relate dIy, how one gains access to and talks about it. In previous attempts to discern rock's meanings, three approaches have tended to dominate: content analysis of rock lyrics; study of rock's relation to varied social, historical, and cultural contexts; and examination of rock's formal and stylistic parameters. While each approach has the potential to illuminate different aspects of what rock might mean and how it achieves its effects, each is also manifestly incomplete. Their individual short­ comings cannot be addressed merely by producing analyses that combine them. To do so, in fact, would be to assume naively that in themselves those approaches exhaust all the questions that one might ask about rock. Getting at what rock means requires asking a different, but related, set of

Buñuel, Eisenstein, and the ‘Montage of Attractions’: An Approach to Film in Theory and Practice

The now abundant amount of criticism dedicated to Luis Buñuel can generally be divided into two categories: (1) treatment of his filmography; and (2) biographical criticism that is preoccupied with the director’s personality and life, particularly with his connection to the Residencia de Estudiantes from 1917 until the early 1930s, when he coincided (briefly) with Salvador Dalı́ and Federico Garcı́a Lorca, and with his affiliation to the Paris Surrealist group from 1927 up through the 1930s. Film critics naturally tend to concentrate on Buñuel’s cinema, its formal and thematic aspects, while Hispanists appear to be more concerned with his biography, especially as it connects to other important Spanish literary figures of the day (Alberti, Gómez de la Serna, Lorca, Dalı́, Hinojosa, Larrea, Moreno Villa, etc.) and the Surrealist group (Breton, Ernst, Aragon, etc.). Rarely do these two scholarly fields overlap, although the work of Agustı́n Sánchez Vidal stands out as a notable exception. Because of this division of labour, Buñuel’s cinema is rarely studied in the light of his experiences during these formative years.
