A STUDY TO ASSESS KNOWLEDGE AND AWARENESS ABOUT THE HEPATITIS B AND C AMONG NURSING COLLEGE STUDENTS OF CENTRAL INDIA

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND: The lives of millions of adolescents worldwide are at risk because they do not have the information; skills, health services and support which they need to go through sexual development during adolescence. The epidemic of Hepatitis B/HCV is now progressing at a rapid pace among young people. AIMS& OBJECTIVE: To assess knowledge of nursing students towards Hepatitis B/HCV Awareness, Prevention & Control. To assess knowledge increase after educational intervention by means of lectures and discussions among nursing students. MATERIAL& METHOD: An educational interventional study was conducted in Kushabhau Thakre Nursing College, Kolar Road, Bhopal. Study population included all Nursing students. Sample size was 200 students. Inclusion Criteria included all Nursing students present at the time of pre intervention interview and who gave informed consent. The data was analyzed using appropriate statistical software (MS excel and SPSS version 20). Mc Nemar test was applied for statistical significance of knowledge improvement by intervention. RESULT: Most of the Nursing students (95%) were correctly known that Hepatitis B/HCV is a viral disease and an effective vaccine against Hepatitis B is available in the market but they are not able to differentiate between Hepatitis B and C, in fact they have a mis-conception that both are the same entity. After intervention 87% of the students were aware about preventive measures against Hepatitis B/HCV. Health care providers (55%), Teaching (25) and Mass media (22%) were main source of knowledge for them. More than two thirds of students had positive attitude towards Hepatitis B/HCV infected patients. CONCLUSION: The study revealed that although a significant proportion of students were aware of Hepatitis B/HCV, their knowledge on prevention modalities was low as majority of them are unable to differentiate Hepatitis B from Hepatitis C. Students also harbored misconceptions on the modes of Hepatitis B/HCV transmission. Television, newspapers and internet were quoted as the most common source of information.
The LISA Pathfinder interferometry

Preparations for the LISA Pathfinder mission have reached an exciting stage. Tests of the engineering model (EM) of the optical metrology system have recently been completed at the Albert Einstein Institute, Hannover, and flight model tests are now underway. Significantly, they represent the first complete integration and testing of the space-qualified hardware and are the first tests on an optical system level. The results and test procedures of these campaigns will be utilized directly in the ground-based flight hardware tests, and subsequently during in-flight operations. In addition, they allow valuable testing of the data analysis methods using the MATLAB-based LTP data analysis toolbox. This paper presents an overview of the results from the EM test campaign that was successfully completed in December 2009. PACS numbers: 99.55. Yn, 04.80. Nn, 07.60. Ly
Adult literacy programs in developing countries

In addition to the traditional education system targeting children and youth, one potentially important vehicle to improve literacy and numeracy skills is adult literacy programs (ALPs). In many developing countries, however, these programs do not seem to achieve these hoped for, ex ante, objectives and have therefore received less attention, if not been largely abandoned, in recent years. But, evidence shows that ALPs do affect other important socio-economic outcomes such as health, household income, and labor market participation by enhancing participants’ health knowledge and income-generating activities.
The Problem State: As a Bottleneck in Multitasking

In the area of multitasking, the main challenge is to predict when and how tasks interfere. Of the many theories, Threaded Cognition theory [Salvuci & Taatgen, ‘08] is a recently proposed integrated theory of multitasking. Based on this, here we study the role of problem state (PS) resource in causing interference. Problem state is the directly accessible intermediate information involved in mental transformation tasks. The prediction made is that interference is caused whenever two tasks require the problem state. To test the prediction, an experiment is carried out where subjects have to carry out a text entry and a subtraction task concurrently. Both the tasks have two versions: one that requires a PS and one that doesn’t. There is an over-additive interaction effect, indicative of interference when both the tasks involve a PS. To compare the observations, a cognitive computation model built by [Borst & Taatgen, ‘10] was used. The model too shows an over-additive interaction effect which confirms PS as a bottleneck.
Connecting the dots: a correlation between ionizing radiation and cloud mass-loss rate traced by optical integral field spectroscopy

We present an analysis of the effect of feedback from O-and B-type stars with data from the integral field spectrograph Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) mounted on the Very Large Telescope of pillar-like structures in the Carina Nebular Complex, one of the most massive star-forming regions in the Galaxy. For the observed pillars, we compute gas electron densities and temperatures maps, produce integrated line and velocity maps of the ionized gas, study the ionization fronts at the pillar tips, analyse the properties of the single regions, and detect two ionized jets originating from two distinct pillar tips. For each pillar tip, we determine the incident ionizing photon flux Q(0, pil) originating from the nearby massive O- and B-type stars and compute the mass-loss rate. (M)over dot of the pillar tips due to photoevaporation caused by the incident ionizing radiation. We combine the results of the Carina data set with archival MUSE data of a pillar in NGC 3603 and with previously published MUSE data of the Pillars of Creation in M16, and with a total of 10 analysed pillars, find tight correlations between the ionizing photon flux and the electron density, the electron density and the distance from the ionizing sources, and the ionizing photon flux and the mass-loss rate. The combined MUSE data sets of pillars in regions with different physical conditions and stellar content therefore yield an empirical quantification of the feedback effects of ionizing radiation. In agreement with models, we find that (M)over dot proportional to Q(0, pil)(1/2).
Impact of Mastectomy on Coping Strategies, Body Image and Self-Satisfaction for Egyptian Females

Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among Egyptian females. Mastectomy results in a series of disabling psychological, social and physiological stressors, which vigorously affect the mastectomiesed females' coping strategies, body image and self-satisfaction. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of mastectomy on coping strategies, body image and self-satisfaction for Egyptian females Design: A descriptive research design was utilized. Setting: The current study was conducted at the Oncology Institute outpatient clinics of Menoufia University Hospital, Menoufia Governorate, Egypt. Subjects: A convenience sample consisted of 120 Adult mastectomiesed female patients. Tools: 1.Participants' characteristics questionnaire was developed by researchers to assess patients' sociodemographic and medical data. 2. Cancer coping strategies questionnaire was adopted to assess perceived coping strategies used by mastectomiesed females. 3. Final Version of the Body Image after Breast Cancer Questionnaire (BIBCQ): It was adopted to assess changes in body image for mastectomiesed females regarding individuals’ appearance, feelings, and behaviors or any changes that may have resulted from the cancer or its treatment. 4. Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale was adopted to assess perceived self-esteem. 5. Self-confidence after mastectomy scale: It is a 5 points Likert scale was adopted to assess perceived self-confidence for mastectomiesed females. Results, the majority of the studied mastectomiesed females 95% and 78.3% respectively had mild coping and Poor self-confidence while, more than half of them 55.8% and 54.2% respectively had poor satisfaction with their body image and self-esteem. Moreover, statistical significance was observed regarding patients' sociodemographic characteristics in relation to total scores of coping strategies, self-esteem and self-confidence scales while no significance was observed for body image. Conclusion, the Egyptian mastectomiesed females experienced serious physical and psychological harm, which negatively affected their coping strategies and consequently resulted in, decreased satisfaction with their body and self. Therefore, it is highly Recommended that mastectomiesed females should receive a multidimensional management including all physical, psychological and social aspects of their life in all stages of treatment for encouraging them to cope, which consequently will increase their satisfaction with their body image and self.
A Gradient Descent Method for Matrix Factorization Using Latent Dirichlet Allocation

Recommendation of products plays a significant role in online service and social network nowadays. In order to discover unpurchased ones that a user may like, a consideration is to predict how he evaluates them after his purchasing according to his history feedbacks. Such feedback often includes a couple of numeric rating and textual review for a specific purchased product. A traditional technique to model user’s rating is matrix factorization, which uses latent factors to characterize both user’s interests and product’s properties. However, its ignorance of review brings some drawbacks, including incorrect latent factors learnt and mediocre performance. In this paper, we aim to combine the analysis of review into traditional matrix factorization and improve the learning of latent factors. The experimental results show that by using proposed method in matrix factorization model, latent factors are more accurately learnt and a more accurate prediction of rating for unpurchased products is realized. In the scene of prediction for unpurchased item’s rating, the improvement in term of Mean Absolute Error is up to 3.756%.
OPTH_A_200923 1267..1271

Luciana MC Soriano Nadyr A Damasceno Guilherme Herzog Neto Eduardo F Damasceno 1Department of Ophthalmology, Universidade Federal Fluminense, Niterói, Brazil; 2Department of Ophthalmology, Hospital Naval Marcílio Dias, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Purpose: To compare the clinical profile of patients with chronic dacryocystitis (CDC) with and without associated chronic rhinosinusopathies who had been submitted to external dacryocystorhinostomy (EDCR). Methods: This was a retrospective, observational, and longitudinal study that included all patients diagnosed with CDC who were submitted to EDCR at the Antonio Pedro University Hospital. Patients were divided into two groups, with and without rhinosinusopathies (Group I and Group II, respectively). The following variables were assessed to compare the Group I and Group II: age, ethnicity, epiphora, discharge by expression of the lacrimal sac, duration of the CDC, and previous history of CDC exacerbation. Results: The study included a total of 78 patients, 22 patients (28.2%) in Group I and 56 patients (71.8%) in Group II. The mean age was 64.3 (±19.7) years. In Group I and II predominated elderly, female, and White (p=0.93, p=0.38, p=0.77). In relation to the clinical characteristics, most of the patients presented epiphora and discharge by compression of the lacrimal sac in both Groups (p=0.61, p=0.44). In relation to a previous history of exacerbations of the CDC, six patients in Group I and four patients in Group II presented it as purulent discharge (p=0.04). Conclusion: Chronic rhinosinusopathies may favor episodes of exacerbations of chronic dacryocystitis in particular with the presence of purulent discharge.
High Myopia and Its Associated Factors in JPHC-NEXT Eye Study: A Cross-Sectional Observational Study

The increasing prevalence of high myopia has been noted. We investigated the epidemiological characteristics and the related factors of high myopia in a Japanese adult population. Japan Public Health Center-Based Prospective Study for the Next Generation (JPHC-NEXT) Eye Study was performed in Chikusei-city, a rural area in mid-east Japan, between 2013 and 2015. A cross-sectional observational analysis was conducted to investigate prevalence and related factors of high myopia. A total of 6101 participants aged ≥40 years without a history of ocular surgeries was included. High myopia was defined as a spherical equivalent refraction of ≤−6.00 diopters according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Potential high myopia-related factors included intraocular pressure (IOP), corneal structure, corneal endothelial cell density, age, height, body mass index, heart rate, blood pressure, biochemical profile, and current history of systemic and ocular disorders. The odds ratios of high myopia were estimated using the logistic regression models adjusted for the associated factors. The prevalence of high myopia was 3.8% in males and 5.9% in females with a significant difference. Age was inversely associated, IOP was positively associated, and none of other factors were associated with high myopia in both sexes. In conclusion, only age and IOP were associated with high myopia in this community-based sample.

Recycling a Pre-trained BERT Encoder for Neural Machine Translation

In this paper, a pre-trained Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) model is applied to Transformer-based neural machine translation (NMT). In contrast to monolingual tasks, the number of unlearned model parameters in an NMT decoder is as huge as the number of learned parameters in the BERT model. To train all the models appropriately, we employ two-stage optimization, which first trains only the unlearned parameters by freezing the BERT model, and then fine-tunes all the sub-models. In our experiments, stable two-stage optimization was achieved, in contrast the BLEU scores of direct fine-tuning were extremely low. Consequently, the BLEU scores of the proposed method were better than those of the Transformer base model and the same model without pre-training. Additionally, we confirmed that NMT with the BERT encoder is more effective in low-resource settings.
ICT and Knowledge Management for Organizational Competitiveness Understanding Policy and Practices

Globalization has inevitably forced organization including higher education institution to improve its competitive advantage. Recently, the notion of knowledge management has been gaining wide acceptance toward organizational enhancement. It includes the use of technology to support knowledge creation, storage, transfer and implementation. However, the utilization of advanced technology, for some organizations, likewise conveys some problems. This article investigates the Centre of Information Technology and Database (PTIPD) as a unit responsible for data management and the use of ICT as enabler for knowledge creation and dissemination among academia at Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic University Yogyakarta. This article studies the university’s policy in terms of technology implementation and its budgeting as well as its member’s perception on the technology implemented. A number of organization’s members participated in interviews of this qualitative study. The results of this study found that the use of ICT and the role played by PTIPD remain mediocre and should be improved to accommodate actual knowledge management system. Eventually, this article recommended the improvement of ICT implementation at Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic University. Furthermore, this study will be enlightening for researchers and practitioners of knowledge management particularly in relation to the use of ICT as knowledge enabler. Keywords—ICT, knowledge management, higher education, management information system.
Eccentricity Excitation and Apsidal Resonance Capture in the Planetary System υ Andromedae

The orbits of the outer two known planets orbiting υ Andromedae are remarkably eccentric. Planet C possesses an orbital eccentricity of e1 = 0.253. For the more distant planet D, e2 = 0.308. Previous dynamical analyses strongly suggest that the two orbits are nearly coplanar and are trapped in an apsidal resonance in which Δ, the difference between their longitudes of periastron, undergoes a bounded oscillation about 0°. Here we elucidate the origin of these large eccentricities and of the apsidal alignment. Resonant interactions between a remnant circumstellar disk of gas lying exterior to the orbits of both planets can smoothly increase e2. Secular interactions between planets D and C can siphon off the eccentricity of the former to increase that of the latter. Externally amplifying e2 during the phase of the apsidal oscillation when e2/e1 is smallest drives the apsidal oscillation amplitude toward zero. Thus, the substantial eccentricity of planet C and the locking of orbital apsides are both consequences of externally pumping the eccentricity of planet D over timescales exceeding apsidal precession periods of order 104 yr. We explain why the recently detected stellar companion to υ And is largely dynamically decoupled from the planetary system.
Development of Acceptability Rating Data for Japanese (ARDJ): An Initial Report

Many linguists rely on acceptability, or grammaticality in its special case, when they study language. It does not seem, however, that they fully understand what acceptability is and needs to be [2]. In fact, nobody has ever explored the entire acceptability space, i.e., the possibility (hyper)space of acceptabilities. We decided to fill this gap in the case of Japanese linguistics. This is why we are building the acceptability rating data of Japanese (ARDJ). We have recently finished a pilot study and obtained preliminary results. While Japanese is our targeted language, the methodology is easily applicable to other languages. This report gives some findings as well as the new methodology we adopted.
EFFECTIVENESS OF THE “IAAF KIDS' ATHLETICS PROJECT” IN LEVELLING CHANGES OF GENERAL PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE AMONG BOYS OF EARLY SCHOOL AGE

The study presents the results of general physical performance among 3rd grade pupils at an elementary school on Ďumbierska street in Banska Bystrica. Results were gained through the application of selected tests and EUROFIT and UNIFIT [5; 2]. The experimental group consisted of 16 subjects (boys), aged 8 – 9 years, who attended athletics preparation within the "IAAF Kids' Athletics" program. The control group accounted for 18 subjects (boys) ofthe same age. The research period lasted nine mesocycles from 15th October 2014 to 17th June 2015. All the results obtained in the input and output measurements were mutually compared and evaluated using statistical methods. The output measurements in the experimental group compared with the control group experienced statistically significant changes at p ≤ 0.05 in all tests performed. Effect size was confirmed in tests on two medium effects and two large effects.
Inhibition of Ptychopetalum olacoides on Acetylcholinesterase Isoforms in Brain of Mice

Objective To further characterize the acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChE-Is) pattern of Ptychopetalum olacoides ethanol extract (POEE) on the cytosolic globular monomer (G1) and membrane bound globular tetramer (G4) AChE isoforms in brain areas relevant for cognition. Methods The G1 and G4 AChE isoforms were prepared according to the reported methods and the determination of AChE activity used was adapted from colorimetric method. Results POEE mostly inhibited G1 in hippocampus (75%), and G4 in frontal cortex (58%) and striatum (75%) (P < 0.05). Kinetic analysis indicated that POEE-induced AChE inhibition in hippocampus was of a competitive nature for G1 but uncompetitive for G4. Conclusion Considering the high density of cholinergic projection to the cortex and striatum, and the usefulness of conserving cytosolic acetylcholine to replenish synaptic vesicles in a highly active cognition site such as hippocampus, we argue that this could be a desirable profile for a clinically relevant AChE-I.

Interrogating the Problems of Lone-living among Married Women of Absentee-Spouses in Benin City, South-South Nigeria

Abstract The paper was designed to investigate the challenges and coping strategies of married women, in Benin City Nigeria, whose husbands have traveled abroad for greener pasture. One-time Survey Design, with the aid of purposive sampling technique, was employed to sample women whose husbands are in abroad among the married women in Benin City for the study. 145 copies of questionnaires were administered and data was analyzed with the aid of simple percentage and frequency counts. Data revealed that the greatest challenge of these women is the problem of playing the role of parent-figures; and this affects decision-making and child upbringing. Loneliness, which generates emotional problems, creates the temptation to seek sexual gratification outside marriage among the women. Hence, individual coping strategies are cultural, socio-economical, psychological and religious. It concludes that constant communication can keep distant partners closer and partially helps the absentee spouse in making meaningful contributions to domestic decisions.
