Guidelines for iron supplementation for Prophylaxis of Anemia in a National Programme - A Review

Recent National Family Health Survey-4 data shows that anaemia continues to be a major public health problem in India. In India much of the anaemia is due to iron deficiency, and women and children are at the greatest risk of anaemia. TheMinistry of Health and Family Welfare took a policy decision, in 2013, to develop the National Iron+ Initiative (NIPI) to address the prevailing iron deficiency anaemia. This initiative covered pregnant and lactating women, children and adolescents. However, the guidelines do not match the current World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for prevention of iron deficiency anaemia in these population groups. The background evidence for the WHO and NIPI is thus reviewed to come to a common consensus on the optimum recommendation of iron supplementation for the population, while taking into consideration the feasibility of the program, without burdening the groups with iron over-dose. However, from the present review, there is a need for increased number of trials in India that could qualify for a high grade of evidence to support the guidelines of NIPI.
Impact of parenting styles adopted by mother’s on academic achievement of elementary school children

Parenting styles are defined as set of attitudes; beliefs and goals parents have and put into practice in their daily interactions with their children. Baumrind (1971) has mentioned three types of parenting styles viz., authoritative/democratic, authoritarian and permissive parenting styles. The quality of the parent–child relationship influences how well children do in school. The present study was under taken to know the parenting styles adopted by mothers and impact on academic achievement of elementary students. The study sample were 200 (100 elementary school children from 3Goverment and 3 Private schools and 100 mother’s of sample children) of Kurnool town. Sample was selected by using multistage random sampling technique. Mothers were administered with Parenting Style Questionnaire and Academic performance of sample children were collected from school as a form of marks. Results revealed that Majority of the mothers were following authoritative parenting style. Sample children’s did not differ significantly in their academic achievement according to child variable like gender, age, birth order, type of school, and class of studying. Sample children differed significantly in academic achievement in relation with parenting styles adopted by mothers. Children perform high whose mother’s are using authoritative parenting style compare to other parenting styles. The t values (2.611 p<0.001) was significant.
Molecular water in nominally unhydrated carbonated hydroxylapatite: The key to a better understanding of bone mineral

Abstract Despite numerous analytical studies, the exact nature of the mineral component of bone is not yet totally defined, even though it is recognized as a type of carbonated hydroxylapatite. The present study addresses the hydration state of bone mineral through Raman spectroscopic and thermogravimetric analysis of 56 samples of carbonated apatite containing from 1 to 17 wt% CO3, synthesized in H2O or D2O. Focus is on the relation between the concentration of molecular water (as distinguished from hydroxyl ions) and the concentration of carbonate in the apatite. Raman spectra confirm the presence of molecular water as part of the crystalline structure in all the aqueously precipitated carbonated apatites. TGA results quantitatively document that, regardless of the concentration of carbonate in the structure, all hydroxylapatites contain ~3 wt% of structurally incorporated water in addition to multiple wt% adsorbed water. We spectroscopically confirmed that natural bone mineral also contains structurally incorporated molecular H2O based on independent analyses of bone by means of spectral stripping (subtracting the spectrum of collagen from that of bone) and chemical stripping (chemically removing the collagen content of bone prior to analysis). Taken together, the above data support a model in which water molecules densely populate the apatite channels regardless of the abundance of hydroxyl vacancies. We hypothesize that water molecules keep the apatite channels stable even when 80% of the hydroxyl sites are vacant (typical in bone), hinder carbonate ions from substituting for hydroxyl ions in the channels, and help regulate chemical access to the channels (e.g., ion exchange, entry of small molecules). Our results show that bone apatite is not a “flawed hydroxylapatite,” but instead a definable mineralogical entity, a combined hydrated-hydroxylated calcium phosphate phase of the form Ca10-x[(PO4)6-x(CO3)x](OH)2-x·nH2O, where n ~ 1.5. Water is therefore not an accidental, but rather an essential, component of bone mineral and other natural and synthetic low-temperature carbonated apatite phases.
Occupational Therapy in Primary Care -- Barriers, Pivots, and Outcomes: A pilot study

Purpose: Habits, roles, and routines are important behaviors that affect lifestyle and can lead to the development of chronic disease such as diabetes mellitus. Primary care physicians (PCPs) have limited time, suggesting an interprofessional team approach would be beneficial in helping patients modify behaviors for the prevention and treatment of chronic disease. Occupational therapists (OTs) specialize in addressing health behaviors, and literature supports including OTs on the primary care team to improve the self-management techniques of patients with chronic disease. This study was guided by Lifestyle Redesign®, an evidence-based program that addresses the health behaviors of patients with diabetes in primary care. We aimed to improve health outcomes by combining an OT-led lifestyle modification program with patient-centered treatment recommendations from an external interprofessional team. We hypothesized that the health outcomes of patients with diabetes in primary care would improve after participating in an OT-led interprofessional lifestyle modification program, and that reimbursement for services would be obtainable. Method: Two PCPs in community practice initially agreed to involve an OT on their primary care team. Due to reimbursement concerns, the PCPs later preferred to refer patients to receive the OT-led intervention at an offsite clinic, rather than onsite at the primary care practice. Health outcomes were measured pre- and post-intervention using industry standard assessments and biometrics. Descriptive and non-parametric statistics were used to evaluate change. Results: Thirty-one patients with diabetes were referred, and three (9.7%) participated in the offsite lifestyle modification program. While statistical significance was not achieved (p≥0.10), trends toward individual improvement were noted for occupational performance and satisfaction and empowerment, and reimbursement was received from the third-party payers. Conclusions: Patient participation in this study was consistent with participation rates for offsite behavioral health referrals. An offsite OT-led interprofessional lifestyle modification program demonstrated potential for meaningful change and services were reimbursed. These findings support practice redesign efforts to include OTs as part of an integrated primary care model. Offering onsite services will increase patient accessibility to care and improve referral completion rates, thus providing OTs the opportunity to further demonstrate the efficacy of delivering chronic disease management in primary care.
Synthesis, characterization, and evaluations of Cu-doped TiO2/Bi2O3 nanocomposite for Direct red 16 azo dye decolorization under visible light irradiation

In this study, a statistical analysis based on the response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to investigate the individual and interaction effects of critical operating and dopant concentration on photocatalytic decolorization of Direct Red 16 under visible-light by Cu-doped TiO2/Bi2O3. Cu-doped TiO2/Bi2O3 is a visible-light-driven nano-catalyst which was synthesized by applying the sol–gel technology for the removal of Direct Red 16. The studied operating parameters include the Bi2O3/TiO2 ratio, Cu/Ti ratio, and reaction time. The statistics-based experimental design and RSM were utilized to find a quadratic model as a functional relationship between the decolorization efficiency and the three operating parameters. Initially, the optimum ranges of Cu/Ti and Bi2O3/ TiO2 compounds on the removal of the dye pollution were experimentally obtained, which is 2, 4, and 6 wt. % for Cu/Ti ratio and 8, 9, and 10 wt. % for the Bi2O3/TiO2 ratio. Then, a set of TiO2/ Bi2O3-Cu nano-catalysts with various ingredients was synthesized based on the RSM method, and field emission scanning electron microscopy, diffuse reflection spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction were performed. The performed experiments on the removal of the pollution showed that the produced nano-catalyst with 6 wt. % Cu/Ti ratio, 8 wt. % Bi2O3/TiO2 ratio and reaction time of 3 h had the maximum removal efficiency of 99%. The regression analysis with an R2 value of 0.99 showed the right consistency between the model prediction and experimental data of the decolorization efficiency. Using the quadratic model of RSM, the optimum contents of the nano-catalyst was 5.9 wt. % Cu/Ti ratio and 8.0 wt. % Bi2O3/TiO2 ratio with a removal efficiency of 99.4% while the efficiency of the experiments was 99.0% ± 0.7% by application of this synthesized nano-catalyst.

Extended abstract Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed DoS (DDoS) attacks, with even higher severity, are among the major security threats for distributed systems, and in particular in the ﬁnancial sector where trust is essential. In this paper, our aim is to develop an additional layer of defense in distributed agent systems to combat such threats. We consider a high-level imperative and object-oriented language for distributed systems, based on the actor model with support of asynchronous and synchronous method interaction. This setting is appealing in that it naturally supports the distribution of autonomous concurrent units, and e�cient interaction, avoiding active waiting and low-level synchronization primitives such as explicit signaling and lock operations. It is therefore useful as a framework for modeling and analysis of distributed service-oriented systems. Our language supports e�cient interaction by features such as asynchronous and non-blocking method calls and ﬁrst-class futures, which are popular features applied in many distributed systems today. However, these mechanisms make it even easier for an attacker to launch a DDoS attack, because undesirable waiting by the attacker can be avoided with these mechanisms. We propose an approach consisting of static analysis. We identify and prevent potential vulnerabilities in asynchronous communication that directly or indirectly can cause call-based ﬂooding of agents. More precisely, we adapt a general algorithm for detecting call ﬂooding to the setting of security analysis and for detection of distributed denial of service attacks adding support for one-to-many and many-to-one attacks. The algorithm detects call cycles that might cause overﬂow in the incoming queues of one or more communicating agents. Each cycle may involve any number of agents, possible involving the attacked agent(s). The high-level framework considered here is relevant for a large class of programming languages and service-oriented systems. The
What About the Environment?: Exploring the Neglected Third Dimension of Antimicrobial Resistance

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most urgent and complex health risks of our time, with links to human health, animal health, and the environment. The majority of research and policy related to AMR, however, has been dedicated to human and animal health. The third dimension — the environment — has been relatively neglected. Conversations about this problem have begun, but gaps in understanding remain. This study explores the key barriers that have hindered developments related to the environmental aspect of AMR and some of the solutions that have begun to or could be utilized to overcome these barriers. A grounded theory approach was used to critically analyze qualitative data from expert interviews and field observations, quantitative data from the Global Database for Antimicrobial Resistance Country Self Assessment, and supplementary data from scientific and gray literature. While this study revealed many barriers — including characteristics of the issue like its complexity, gaps in research, conflict with existing norms and priorities, leadership failures, and country-level differences — just as many, if not more, solutions were identified. These included awareness-raising campaigns, emphasis of the links between AMR in the environment and other prominent issues like climate change to boost funding for research, increased surveillance, the introduction of policies to enhance coordination and collaboration among international agencies and national ministries, the inclusion of environmental leaders in the development and implementation of plans to combat AMR, and technical and financial support for developing countries. These and other solutions will be crucial not just to overcoming the neglect of the environmental aspect of AMR, but also to tackling this global health threat as a whole.
Effect of Indian classical music and pop music on heart rate variability: A comparative study

Background: Indian Classical Music (ICM) has a structured and combinational classification basis. It has a time tasted philosophy of different notes for different time and mood called, ‘Raaga’. Each ‘Raaga’ has unique combinational rules of notes, and it is associated with different essence, feeling, and emotions. Aim & Objective: The aim of the present study is to explore the effect of one popular ICM Raaga ‘Bhairavi’ on heart rate variability (HRV) as compared to the results with pop music of their choice. Settings & Design: HRV analysis was carried out in three cases; in silent environment, with classical music and with pop music for each subject on same time but different days. Methods & Material: Fifty three young adults participated in the non-invasive and benign study. Electrocardiogram (ECG) was recorded in silent environment and with classical and pop music and HRV parameters were extracted. Statistical analysis used: Student paired t test was used to compare the difference between HRV parameters during silent and music states. Results: The parasympathetic activity was increased whereas sympathetic activity decreased with classical music. Conclusions: Raaga ‘Bhairavi’ has been long considered as soft and soothing composition and thereby reducing stress, better compared to other popular music, like pop. The same study can be extended with other ‘Raagas’ using HRV parameters.
Gravel, Soil Organic Matter, and Texture in Fallowed Alfisols, Entisols and Ultisols: Implications for Root and Tuber Crops

Southwestern Nigeria is replete with soils that have high gravel contents within the subsoils. Most of these soils are being opened up for cultivation as other land uses (roads and housing) are competing for agricultural lands. It is imperative that these soils be properly studied and managed to prevent serious land degradation, which may over the long term militate against food production in most rural communities. Thus, the objectives of these investigations were to assess the soil profile gravel contents, texture, cation exchange capacity (CEC), soil organic matter (SOM), and SOM/silt + clay (or SSC ratio) of these soils; assess which of these pedons will be susceptible to degradation using the SSC ratio; and evaluate the relationship that exists, if any, among the aforementioned variables. A semidetailed survey was conducted on 810 ha of land (7° 40′ N and 7° 45′N; 4° 25′ E and 4° 30′ E) located in the rain forest (RF) agroecological zone (AEZ) of southwestern Nigeria. Eighteen soil types/pedons were identified. Subsequently, profile pits (1.50 m) were dug, and soil samples were collected, bagged, labeled, and air dried. These samples were used to determine the proportion of gravel (>2 mm) in the soil, and the <2-mm fraction was used for the determination of particle-size distribution, organic carbon contents (SOC), and CEC. The SOM was determined by multiplying the SOC by a factor of 1.729. The ratio (or SSC) was calculated as total SOM (g kg−1) divided by clay + silt (g kg−1) and multiplied by 100. Results showed that the soil separates (sand, silt, and clay), gravel contents, SOM, and the SSC ratio have high coefficient of variations (CV), which suggests that these soils are highly variable. The gravel contents in the subsoils increased with depth and were generally ≥126 g kg−1, except in pedons AP (Typic UstiPsamments/Ferric Arenosols), PEA (Typic Kanhaplustalf/Ferric Lixisol), BA (Gleyic Lixisol/Udic Kanhaplustalf), GEA (Typic Kanhaplustalf/Ferric Lixisol), and JGB (Tropaquent/Dystric Fluvisol), which had gravel contents of ≤54g kg−1. The SSC ratio ranged between 1.33 (IB,Typic Kanhapludalf) and 14.4 (PEA, Typic Kanhaplustalf) and of all these 18 pedons, only 3 out of 18 (or 16.67%) had an SSC ratio of ≤5 and such may be at the risk of being degraded when opened for cultivation. The correlation coefficients among texture, CEC, SSC ratio, SOM/clay, and gravel contents revealed significantly negative relationships.
Corporate Governance, Monitoring and the Ownership Structure of the Firm: an Overview

This paper provides an overview of the most recent attempts by the literature to explain the relationship between Corporate Control considerations, monitoring costs and the ownership structure resulting from a public offering. The empirical evidence currently available is analyzed. Two main theoretical paradigmas are identified and described. The “normative” approach tries to specify the market mechanism by which a previously privately held company becomes public as the device to cope with heterogeneity of investors, market-segmentation and the relationship between informed and uninformed trading, departing from the more general competitive Walrasian-type offering process. The “monitoring” approach, while maintaining the more traditional competitive structure for the capital markets, faces more explicitly the issue of corporate control, and the trade-off between monitoring, liquidity and risk-sharing as the main determinant of a large investor’s decision about whether to “raid” a company or not. The main results of the literature are explored and directions for future research are suggested.

Max-Stretch Minimization on an Edge-Cloud Platform

We consider the problem of scheduling independent jobs that are generated by processing units at the edge of the network. These jobs can either be executed locally, or sent to a centralized cloud platform that can execute them at greater speed. Such edge-generated jobs may come from various applications, such as e-health, disaster recovery, autonomous vehicles or flying drones. The problem is to decide where and when to schedule each job, with the objective to minimize the maximum stretch incurred by any job. The stretch of a job is the ratio of the time spent by that job in the system, divided by the minimum time it could have taken if the job was alone in the system. We formalize the problem and explain the differences with other models that can be found in the literature. We prove that minimizing the max-stretch is NP-complete, even in the simpler instance with no release dates (all jobs are known in advance). This result comes from the proof that minimizing the max-stretch with homogeneous processors and without release dates is NP-complete, a complexity problem that was left open before this work. We design several algorithms to propose efficient solutions to the general problem, and we conduct simulations based on real platform parameters to evaluate the performance of these algorithms.
