Reliability and Validity Of Clinician Administered Post Traumatic Stres Disorder Scale For Children And Adolescents (CAPS-CA)

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of Clinician Administered Post Traumatic Stres Disorder Scale for Children and Adolescents (CAPS-CA) in Turkish children. Method: Fifty child and adolescent traumatic injury victims between ages 8-15 years were adminis¬tered Clinician Administered Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Scale for Children and Adolescents (CAPS-CA), Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School Age Children-Present and Lifetime VersionTurkish Version (K-SADS-PL-T) and Child Post-traumatic Stress Reaction Index (CPTSD-RI). Results: Thirty-four subjects (68%%) were diagnosed as having current PTSD and nine sub¬jects (18%) were diagnosed as having a lifetime PTSD. The analyses yielded a Cronbach alpha (inter¬nal consistency) of . 83 for the whole scale. Item-total score correlations ranged between . 59- . 92. The interrater reliability rate for PTSD was moderate (kappa= .63). The correlation of CAPS-CA with K-SADS-PL-T was . 78 and with CPTSD-RI was . 72. Discussion: The results suggested that the Turkish version of the CAPS-CA was a valid and reliable instrument for the assessment of PTSD in children and adolescents. It would be valuable to examine the validity and reliability of the CAPS-CA in larger samples and different trauma victims.
The Effect of Work on Health and Work Ability

textabstractIn many countries through the industrial world the population is aging. Despite an increased life expectancy, improved living conditions, and better health status, the average time people spend in paid work is decreasing. There are several mechanisms of withdrawal from the labor force among elderly workers. Workers may leave the work force due to disability, unemployment, and early retirement. Many health problems, work related factors, life styles and individual characteristics are involved with early leaving of the labor force. In recent years, promoting work ability has been considered as an affirmative means to decrease work-related disability and early retirement. The concept of work ability expresses the interrelations between the productive potential of a worker, the worker’s individual characteristics, and physical and psychosocial work related factors. Therefore, assessment of work ability should measure the ability of a worker to perform his/her job, taking into account the specific work-related factors, mental and physical capabilities, and health. The work ability index (WAI), a questionnaire-based method, constructed by Finnish researchers to operationalize the concept of work ability, has been promoted in recent years as a valuable tool in occupational health programs dedicated to decrease an early exit from the work force. The specific objectives of this thesis are: 1) To describe the associations between perceived health and specific diseases with early exit from the work force. 2) To evaluate the relative influence of individual characteristics, health, lifestyle factors, and physical and psychosocial work-related factors on work ability. 3) To investigate the effect of a poor work ability on productivity losses at work.
FUTURISTIC SCPOPE OF BIOMARKERS IN TUBERCULOSIS

ABSTRACT One of the major causes of the mortality from single infectious agent, tuberculosis (TB) is prevalent worldwide. India has the highest number of TB cases in the world. It is the leading cause of death, because of its high mortality and morbidity because of the disease. Reason lies in the emergence of multidrug-resistant TB strains, and the HIV infection, which reactivates the latent TB making it more severe. Moreover, failure to diagnose TB early remains one of the primary hurdles in controlling of the disease. TB is a potentially hazardous infectious disease attacks various organs, mainly affecting lungs. The bacteria causing TB are spread from one person to another. Tiny droplets released into the air via coughs and sneezes lead to the passage of infection. The disease is generally diagnosed by its symptoms, radiographic methods, and sputum smear microscopy and by cultivation of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is considered as gold standard. Current advances in molecular biology and molecular epidemiology and a better understanding of drug resistance in TB have given a new horizon to its rapid diagnosis. However, the cost-effective techniques, and their requirement for sophisticated equipment and skilled personals have excluded their implementation on a routine basis, especially in low-income countries.

Modeling surveillance and interventions in the 2014 Ebola epidemic

The 2014 Ebola epidemic in West Africa is the largest ever recorded, and understanding the interrelated dynamics of surveillance and intervention is a key concern, both for this and future epidemics. Moreover, as transmissibility and mortality are believed to increase as symptoms progress, intervention strategies may depend on individual’s stage of infection. To examine these issues, we developed a stage-structured model of Ebola, which includes a term for fraction of the population at risk, reporting rate, among other factors. We generated short term forecasts for Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, beginning October 1, 2014, which we have since validated using subsequent data. We examined the relative contributions of the stages of infection, and then expanded the model to consider Ebola treatment unit (ETU) dynamics and interventions, incorporating both stagedependent hospitalization rates and dynamic ETU capacity. We found that a wide range of forecasted trajectories fit well to the data. However, by estimating terms for surveillance and intervention, the best-fit models correctly forecasted the qualitative behavior for all three countries, both individually and for all countries combined. In particular, the models correctly forecasted the slow-down and stabilization in Liberia but continued exponential growth in Sierra Leone through October and November 2014. Because increasing intervention levels lead to improved reporting, interventions and reported cases/deaths can have a seemingly paradoxical relationship, in which increasing intervention levels result in apparent increases in cases and deaths (due to improved reporting), even though there has actually been a significant reduction in underlying total cases/deaths. These simulations suggest that some of the observed reductions in the growth rate of the epidemic are consistent with intervention effects. All three transmitting stages (early, late, and funeral) appeared to contribute significantly to transmission, with intervention on any single stage often insufficient to prevent an epidemic. However, parameter unidentifiability issues impede estimation of the relative contributions of each stage of transmission from incidence and deaths data alone, which poses a challenge in determining optimal intervention strategies, and underscores the need for additional data collection. For the ETU-based scenarios, basic treatment and isolation capacity acted as a prerequisite to other interventions, with early-stage isolation, increased staff and supplies, and reductions in funeral transmission only fully effective once sufficient ETU/isolation capacity was achieved.
Perfil del hiperfrecuentador de un centro de salud

OBJECTIVE To find the sociodemographic and family characteristics of our Health Centre's over-user, along with the connection between psychological malaise, family dysfunction and greater or lesser attendance. DESIGN We carried out a descriptive crossover study, after a prior simple random sampling. SETTING La Felguera Health Centre (Asturias) in 1993. PATIENTS We studied 276 over-users, defining as such someone who consulted 6 or more times during the year of the study (percentage > 75), with bureaucratic and scheduled visits being excluded. INTERVENTIONS We used personal interviews with questionnaires to find: Family function (applying the family Apgar Test); psychological malaise (using the Goldberg General Health questionnaire in its reduced 28-item version); and sociodemographic characteristics (with a test composed by ourselves). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Average age of the over-user was 54 +/- 19. They were mainly women (72.1%). 51.1% were house-wives and only 25.75% had more than a primary education. 67.8% belonged to nuclear families and 8.3% to dysfunctional families. We found psychological malaise in 40.7%, with a statistically significant relationship between this and women (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The profile of the over-user of our health centre is a middle-aged housewife with a low level of education, who is part of a nuclear family. A high proportion suffer psychological malaise, but family dysfunction is not determinant.

Two-component Fermi gas with a resonant interaction

We consider a two-component Fermi gas interacting via a Feshbach molecular state. It is shown that an important energy scale is E g = g 4 m 3 / (64 π 2 ) where g is the Feshbach coupling constant and m the mass of the particles. Only when E g ≫ ǫ F where ǫ F is the Fermi energy can the gas be expected to enter a universal state in the unitarity limit on the atomic side of the resonance where there are no molecules present. The universal state is distinct from the molecular gas state on the other side of the resonance. We furthermore calculate the energy of the gas for this universal state and our results are related to current experiments on 6 Li and 40 K.

Alcohol Expectancy and Sex Predict Alcohol Relevant Stroop Interference

ObjectivesThe present study introduced a novel paradigm that combined sex differences and alcohol expectancy within an information-processing framework. MethodsForty-seven men and 77 women undergraduates who consumed alcohol performed a disorder-salient Stroop task consisting of alcohol words. ResultsResults showed that men consumed alcohol 5.2 times per month and 6.9 drinks per typical drinking occasion; women consumed alcohol an average of 6.2 times per month and 4.3 drinks per typical drinking occasion. There was a statistically significant interaction between sex and alcohol expectancy on reaction time. DiscussionWomen with low alcohol expectancies tended to respond more slowly to alcohol cues than women with high alcohol expectancies. Men with high alcohol expectancies had a faster response time than men with low alcohol expectancies. There was also a significant difference for men with high alcohol expectancies versus women with high alcohol expectancies. Study findings suggest a need to target cognitions pertinent to the hazardous drinking to facilitate treatment progress.
ACUTE AND SUB-ACUTE DERMAL TOXICITY STUDIES OF MORINDA CITRIFOLIA L. FRUIT EXTRACT IN SPRAGUE DAWLEY RATS

Objective: Morinda citrifolia is one of the most significant plants that are used in traditional medicine. However, details of the dermal toxicity of M. citrifolia are still undiscovered. The objective of this study is to investigate the in vivo acute and subacute dermal toxicity of ethanolic extract of M. citrifolia fruit extract at doses 2000 and 5000 mg/kg in acute and 500, 1000 and 2000 mg/kg body weight in rats. Methods: In acute experiment, a total of 40 female rats were divided into eight groups, each group had five rats, and a total of 66 male rats were divided into 11 groups of six rats in sub-acute experiment. Results: The extract at a single dose of 2000 and 5000 mg/kg of body weight did not produce treatment-related signs of toxicity or mortality in any of the animals tested during the 14-day observation period. In the repeated dose 28-day study, the application of 500, 1000 and 2000 mg/kg of body weight/day of fruit extract revealed no significant change (p>0.05) in bodyweight, hematological and biochemical parameters compared with the control group. Similarly, grosspathology and histopathology examinations of liver, spleen, kidneys, and skin did not reveal any morphological alteration. Conclusion: Overall, the results recommend that the close application of M. citrifolia fruit extract did not deliver any critically dangerous impact in rats. Subsequently, the concentrate can be employed for pharmaceutical plans. Keywords: Morinda citrifolia, Acute dermal toxicity, Fruit extract, Sub-acute dermal toxicity
Unconditionally Secure Relativistic Quantum Bit Commitment

A new relativistic quantum protocol is proposed allowing to implement the bit commitment scheme. The protocol is based on the idea that in the relativistic case the field propagation to the region of space accessible to measurement requires, contrary to the non-relativistic case, a finite non-zero time which depends on the structure of the particular state of the field. In principle, the secret bit can be stored for arbitrarily long time with the probability arbitrarily close to unit.
Pobreza, desigualdad y tasa de suicidio en Colombia, 2012

Suicide is a complex issue of public health importance related to multiple determinants. However, less attention has been given to distal social determinants. The aim of this study was to estimate the correlation between poverty and inequity and the suicide rate in Colombia during 2012. An ecological study was designed for measuring the correlation between poverty rates, Gini coefficient (inequity) and suicide rates in Colombian departments. Information from 23 departments and Capital District were taken; Gini coefficients were observed between 0.452 and 0.616 (M=0.511, SD=0.037); poverty rates, 11.6 and 68.0% (SD=40.7, M=14.2); and suicide rates between 1.52 and 7.59 (M=3.99, SD=1.5). The correlation between poverty (r=-0.401, p=0.052) and Gini coefficient (r=-0.086, p=0.689) and suicide rate were not significant. It is concluded that suicide rate in the Colombian states during 2012 was independent of poverty rates and Gini coefficient for inequity. More research on the social determinants of suicide rates are needed.
Curriculum relevance and graduate career: a tracer study of Cemba, Cempa and industrial mathematics graduates

The study traced the graduates of CEMBA, CEMPA and MSc. Industrial Mathematics programmes in the distance learning mode at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi from 2010 to 2012. The descriptive survey method was used to assess the large and scattered graduate population. The main instrument used in gathering data was a questionnaire. A face to face interview with employers was also conducted in order to support data from graduate respondents. A total of 450 graduates participated in the study. The SPSS statistical software was used to generate results from the acquired quantitative data. The findings revealed that majority of the graduates in the three programmes were employed in the public sector, and mainly in the field of education. The Graduates found the content of their programme relevant to their career. The results also showed that job performance of graduates improved after their study. Work supervisors rated the graduates very high in terms of job performance indicators such as 'improved work competence' and 'team working ability'. Based on the findings, it is recommended that the Institute of Distance Learning and the Department of Mathematics utilise the findings/result of the study to review their curricula to meet workplace demands.

Performance evaluation of feature learning for stroke classification in a microwave-based medical diagnostic system

In recent years, stroke has become an important issue to consider medically and socially since it poses high rate of human mortality and disability worldwidely. It typically results from impaired blood supply in the brain. Pathologically, it can be classified into two types: ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. While early treatment can effectively save lives, the treatment to each type are different and wrong treatment may deteriorate patients’ condition. Therefore, it is necessary to diagnose the type of stroke before any treatment is performed. Medfield Diagnostics proposed a solution for stroke diagnostics in pre-hospital scenarios where a medical instrument called Strokefinder can be used to diagnose stroke type. This instrument uses microwave antennas to transmit and receive response signals and acquire the data for each patient. After that, machine learning algorithms are used to process the data and perform classification. Earlier methods already show high classification accuracy for predicting the correct type of stroke. This thesis is a successive research based on earlier development from Medfield Diagnostics and aims to investigate whether new methods would further improve the performance of stroke classification. Specifically, a methodology named feature learning will be evaluated. One of the common feature learning algorithms is autoencoder, which is a reconstruction-based unsupervised learning algorithm with the purpose of dimensionality reduction. Since the data from stroke diagnostic instrument is massive and high-dimensional, applying autoencoder before a classifier will lower the dimension of acquired data and may possibly improve the classification performance. The thesis starts with basic theory of autoencoder and support vector machine (SVM) classifier, introduces the complete pipeline for classification which includes preprocessing, autoencoder, SVM and performance evaluation. In addition to normal autoencoder, the idea of class-specific autoencoder will be brought up and implemented. Essentially, the performance of three schemes are compared in detail, which covers SVM without autoencoder, SVM with normal autoencoder and SVM with class-specific autoencoder. The performance results contain classification Accuracy and AUC with various cross-validation methods by testing stroke datasets from lab simulation in Medfield Diagnostics and other external datasets such as CIFAR-10 and MNIST.
