Meeting the sexual health needs of men who have sex with men in Senegal

Research conducted in many countries has highlighted the vulnerability of men who have sex with men (MSM) to HIV and other STIs. Yet in Africa, they receive little attention in HIV/AIDS programming and service delivery because of widespread denial and stigmatization of homosexual behavior. In Senegal, a study conducted by researchers from the National AIDS Control Program, Cheikh Anta Diop University, and the Horizons Program has provided valuable information about the needs, behaviors, knowledge, and attitudes of MSM that has important implications for program managers and policymakers working to stem the spread of HIV/AIDS. The researchers used ethnographic and survey methods to elicit information from MSM 18 years of age or older from several neighborhoods in Dakar. As noted in this brief, the research team examined their own preconceived notions about sexuality, working through prejudices and taboos, and stressing the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of informants. All interviews were anonymous and informants were asked to provide oral informed consent. Informants received a small stipend to cover travel costs, information on STIs and HIV/AIDS, and a referral for a free medical consultation and treatment.

Effectiveness of Using Costa and Kallick's Habits of Mind in Developing Achievement and Some Visual Thinking Skills of First Year Preparatory School Pupils

This research aims at investigating the effectiveness of using Costa and Kallick's Habits of Mind in developing achievement and some visual thinking skills of first-year preparatory school pupils. To achieve that, the researcher designed the following: a list of Habits of Mind in the light of Costa and Kallick and converting it into educational goals which can be achieved after teaching geometry for the first year prep school pupils; Teacher's guide and pupils worksheets for teaching "geometry and measurement" unit of the first year prep school pupils according to Costa and Kallick's Habits of Mind; an achievement test of "geometry and measurement" unit for the second term of the first year prep school pupils and finally, visual thinking skills test. The current research used quasi-experimental research through applying it to a group of female pupils of the first year prep school. The sample consisted of (100) female pupils of Beni Ahmed prep school (1) in Minia Governorate, Egypt. It was divided into two groups: the experimental and control group. The control group consisted of (50) pupils taught with the traditional method, while the experimental group consisted of (50) pupils taught using Costa and Kallick's Habits of Mind. The results have shown that pupils' grades of the experimental group are higher than other group grades on achievement and some visual thinking skills. The researcher introduced some recommendations such as the necessity to set up professional development programs for training mathematics teachers in order to develop pupils' Habits of Mind, the necessity also to train student teachers of mathematics in the faculty of education to develop Habits of Mind. Moreover, Geometric content in the preparatory stage should be enriched with different educational activities that contribute to developing learners' visual thinking.
Morphometric comparison of the growth curve in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) sexually reverted to masculinized and feminized

Aquaculture is an industry in development around the world that allows covering the nutritional demand with a high nutritional value. Within this industry, monosex crops of some species, such as the Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ), stand out. In this study, the effect of the administration of 17α-ethinyl estradiol and 17α-methyltestosterone on the morphometry of Nile tilapia at different times was evaluated. Nile tilapia were raised under controlled conditions and divided into three groups: control: no hormone treatment; feminized: treated with 17α-ethynyl estradiol and masculinized: treated with 17α-methyltestosterone. The measurements were made at 5, 10, 15, 25, 35, 40, 50, 60 and 70 days after fertilization with the morphometric technique “truss protocol. ” The data were analyzed using a general linear model of repeated measurements and analysis of variance of comparison of means. The growth curve was made using the Gompertz logistic model. The results showed that the masculinized larva presented a higher growth rate and increased daily gain of weight 2.05 -2 mg compared to the controls and feminized 1.67 -3 mg and 7.57 -4 mg, respectively. The sexual reversion of Nile tilapia with 17 α-methyltestosterone increases the growth curve of the masculinized organism and the uniformity of the final size.

Mathematics Learning Outcomes Based on Gender in the Inquiry Learning Model

Gender differences cannot be avoided under any circumstances. The same thing also happens in a classroom. This study aimed at analyzing students’ learning outcomes based on their gender in the inquiry learning model. This research used a quantitative descriptive study with a comparative causal method. The sample were fourth-semester mathematics students in IKIP PGRI Bali. The data were collected by using a learning result test with an essay test and direct observation of learning attitudes and oral presentation methods. Data analysis was performed descriptively and inferentially through the t-test. The results showed that female students got higher learning outcomes than male students did. Direct observations showed the average score of oral presentations and learning attitudes of female students was better than that of the male students’. It indicates that gender influences learning outcomes according to the model used. Therefore, learning should be done with an interesting model and provides opportunities for collaboration between different genders in one group. Keywords—inquiry learning model; gender; mathematics learning outcomes.

Objective(s): Assess the effectiveness of osteoporosis prevention instruction program on nursing college students’knowledge at Baghdad University.Methodology: A quasi-experimental design was used to assess the effectiveness of osteoporosis preventioninstruction program on nursing college students at University of Baghdad from April 2011 to September 2011. Arandom sample consisted of (40) females students from first year of Nursing College \ Baghdad University. The datawas collected by using constructed questionnaire, which consists of three parts. Part one: consists of demographicinformation and health characteristics . Part two: consists of students’ daily life behaviors which include, dietarybehaviors, and sport behaviors. Part three: consists of questions regarding students’ knowledge about osteoporosis,it contains three domains which are: Domain I: Anatomy and physiology of bones. Domain II: Nutritional elementsthose are necessary for bones building. Domain III: Osteoporosis. Reliability of the questionnaire is determinedthrough the pilot study and the validity through a panel of (14) experts. Descriptive statistical analysis proceduresand inferential statistical analysis procedures were employed for data analysisand all the statistical procedures weretested at P value ≤0.05. Results: The results revealed that 6 of 9 dietary behaviors of the students was good and the knowledge of thestudents concerning osteoporosis was low before implementation of the program but after implementation of theinstruction program the knowledge of the students are highly improved. The effectiveness of the program is notaffected by demographic characteristics and daily life behaviors, that means the program can be implemented for allfemales students and achieve the objectives of the program. Recommendations: The study recommended that science curriculums at all educational levels (pre-school,elementary, high school, college, and nursing schools) should be developed to address risk factors and preventivebehavioral health lifestyle related to osteoporosis. Future researches on osteoporosis prevention should focus on ayounger population, namely adolescents, to improve their knowledge of osteoporosis early enough to influence theirself-efficacy for their health lifestyle behavioral changes.
An Ontology-Based Representation of Vaulted System for HBIM

In recent years, many efforts have been invested in the cultural heritage digitization: surveying, modelling, diagnostic analysis and historic data collection. Nowadays, this effort is finalized in many cases towards historical building information modelling (HBIM). However, the architecture, engineering, construction and facility management (AEC-FM) domain is very fragmented and many experts operating with different data types and models are involved in HBIM projects. This prevents effective communication and sharing of the results not only among different professionals but also among different projects. Semantic web tools may significantly contribute in facilitating sharing, connection and integration of data provided in different domains and projects. The paper describes this aspect specifically focusing on managing the information and models acquired on the case of vaulted systems. Information is collected within a semantic based hub platform to perform cross correlation. Such functionality allows the reconstructing of the rich history of the construction techniques and skilled workers across Europe. To this purpose an ontology-based vaults database has been undertaken and an example of its implementation is presented. The developed ontology-based vaults database is a database that makes uses of a set of ontologies to effectively combine data and information from multiple heterogeneous sources. The defined ontologies provide a high-level schema of a data source and provides a vocabulary for user queries.
A Mathematical Model for the Interrogation of LPG Fiber Optical Sensors Based on Electrical Harmonic Analysis

This paper presents a mathematical model for the interrogation of long period grating (LPG) fiber optical sensor. The mathematical model is simple and robust, and it is based on an electrical harmonic analysis. The model calculates the harmonic amplitude equations in the electrical domain of a wavelength modulated optical signal as a function of all the spectral parameters of the LPG. In addition, this model takes into account any distortions that might have been introduced by the wavelength modulator and by any other source of distortion. The harmonic amplitude equations are obtained by expanding the demodulated signal in Taylor Series and by taking the Gaussian shape of the LPG absorption spectra into consideration. To validate the model, we implemented a simple interrogation setup to compare the measured electrical harmonic amplitudes with those obtained using the calculated harmonic amplitude equations. A dynamic range of 25 nm was achieved by shifting the resonant wavelength of the LPG with an accuracy better than 1 dB.
Lessons learned from the field on prevention and health campaigns.

The goal of this chapter is to discuss important lessons that the three authors have learned that relate to prevention and health communication campaigns. The editors asked us to coauthor the chapter because each of us has lived multiple lives within the health communication discipline. All three of us began our research careers within an academic setting and we worked together for several years as a research team at the same educational institution. Although we each had other research interests that we pursued for a period of time we all devoted much of our collaborative efforts to investigating the role of communication in preventing the spread of HIV. At the time none of us could have predicted that new paths would soon provide us with an incredible variety of experiences encompassing contexts we never had explored and audiences with which we were not familiar.

A neurofibromatosis type 1 family report with multiple cases in 3 consecutive Generations

_______________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Neurofibromatosis type1 (NF1) with the incidence of 1 in 3500 births, is the most common disorder which affects skin and peripheral nervous system. NF1 results from mutations in NF1 gene. The NF1 gene spans 350kbp and to date, nearly 2434 mutations in it were reported. The gene with 100 percent penetrance is located on chromosome 17 encoding neurofibromin protein. Recently, many challenges of its genetic analysis have been overcome through the application of new sequencing techniques. In present study patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 have been characterized from clinical symptoms such as presence of café au lait spot, plexiform neurofibroma, optic nerves involvement, presence of several patients in first degree relatives. These patients were in different ages including 73, 63, 44, 20 with different symptoms and severities of disease. In this communication, a NF1 family with 4 cases in 3 generations has been presented.
Crowdsourced Testing Ability for Mobile Apps: A Study on Mooctest

As an emerging trend of software testing, crowdsourced testing is increasingly attracting attention from various fields, such as education and industry. In this paper, we studied the ability of crowdsourced testing for teaching. We mainly aimed to find the relationship between students' crowdsourcing ability and their performance in software testing courses, so as to help schools devise a better teaching model and further improve teaching quality. Our study included two parts. First, we published crowdsourced tasks of a mobile application to students on a well-known crowdsourced testing platform. Then, we conducted a follow-up survey to collect more information about the students. We surprisingly found that the superiority of a student's grades can be reflected with higher crowdsourced testing skills to an extent, but not as an absolute measure. More importantly, practical crowdsourced testing is naturally complementary to purely theoretical teaching.
[OP.4A.08] A RANDOMIZED DOUBLE-BLIND PLACEBO CONTROLLED CROSSOVER STUDY TO COMPARE QGC001, A BRAIN AMINOPEPTIDASE A INHIBITOR, WITH PLACEBO IN PATIENTS WITH GRADE I/ II ESSENTIAL HYPERTENSION

Objective: To assess the hemodynamic and hormonal effects, the safety and tolerability of QGC001, a brain aminopeptidase A inhibitor, in hypertensive patients compared to placebo. Design and method: After 2-week period of discontinuation of current antihypertensive therapy and a 2-week placebo run-in period, patients with grade I to II hypertension confirmed by daytime ABPM (above or equal to 135 or 85 mmHg) were randomly assigned to two-periods of 4-week oral QGC001 (250 mg b.i.d. for 1 week uptitrated to 500 mg b.i.d. for 3 weeks) or placebo in crossover study. Safety biochemical parameters and plasma hormone concentrations (active renin, aldosterone, cortisol, copeptin and apelin) were measured at 09:00 (trough) before and after 4-week of QGC001 or placebo administration. The primary endpoint was the difference in the change from baseline in daytime ambulatory SBP (dASBP) after 4-week of QGC001 or placebo. Results: 50 patients were screened, 40 entered the run-in period, 34 were randomized (intention-to-treat population) and 30 completed the study (56.6 ± 9.1 years; 73.5% men; 88.2% white). dASBP, nighttime ambulatory SBP (nASBP), and office SBP (OSBP) results (mmHg) are shown in table 1. Figure. No caption available. There was no significant effect of QGC001 on any of the hormonal parameters. 14 patients (42.4%) had a total of 16 reversible adverse events (AE) of mild intensity during the study. A single episode of reversible macular rash with facial oedema occurred during the QGC001 period. There was no change in safety biochemical parameters. Conclusions: Four-week administration of 1000 mg/d QGC001 decreased dASBP by 2.7 mmHg and OSBP by 4.7 mmHg compared to placebo. QGC001 administration was safe, with the exception of occurrence of one episode of macular rash.
