Le SIDA en Haïti : connaissances, attitudes, croyances et comportements de la population

Le SIDA est maintenant un des problemes majeurs de sante publique en Haiti. Nous proposons de rapporter une etude sur les connaissances, attitudes, croyances et comportements lies au SIDA. L’enquete a pour objectif de definir la distribution et les determinants socio-culturels des facteurs de risque de transmission du SIDA et de contribuer ainsi a l’orientation des efforts de prevention. Nous avons identifie en premier lieu les modeles de comportement et avons constitue des groupes de rencontres thematiques formes d’individus sexuellement actifs. Nous avons mis en place un questionnaire distribue a 1 300 hommes et a 1 300 femmes âges de 15-49 ans. Nous avons adopte un plan d’echantillonnage stratifie de menages, par grappes a trois niveaux. Le recrutement a commence en decembre 1989 et s’est termine en fevrier 1990. Les premiers elements revelent que 98,5 % de notre echantillon ont deja entendu parler du SIDA. En revanche, nous avons rencontre de nombreuses idees fausses concernant les modes de transmission. Les principaux resultats de cette etude concernent la multiplicite de partenaires sexuels, l’influence de la vulnerabilite economique des femmes sur leur comportement sexuel, et enfin l’impact des croyances locales : - 19 femmes, comparativement a 280 hommes, ont rapporte avoir eu plus d’un partenaire sexuel au cours du mois precedant l’enquete. Le comportement a risque le plus eleve est retrouve dans la population dont le niveau d’education est le plus eleve ; - 37 % des personnes interrogees imaginent que l’infection puisse etre transmise par un sort. Cette croyance est partagee par les hommes et les femmes avec une predominance chez les hommes. Le SIDA s’ajoute aux autres problemes de sante en Haiti. La prevention de cette maladie doit donc s’integrer a la strategie de soins de sante primaires deja en place. Il s’agit d’un engagement a long terme qui depasse largement les campagnes ponctuelles d’education ou de formation. La tâche qui reste a accomplir est immense et un effort concerte et national s’avere essentiel.

SPEECH- SYNCHRONIZED VISUAL CUES RELEASE SPEECH FROM INFORMATIONAL MASKING

Visual speech information, such as lipreading cues, assists listeners to segregate a target voice from competing voices. It is not clear whether a simple visual cue, such as the light flash that is synchronous to the onset of each syllable in target speech, is sufficient to release target speech from noise or speech masking. In this study, when target speech was of a constant rate, the speech-synchronized light flash had no unmasking effects. However, when the rate of target speech was artificially manipulated, the speech-synchronized light flash improved speech recognition when the two-talker speech masker but not the speech-spectrum noise masker was co-presented. Thus, under certain conditions, speech-synchronized visual cues can play a role in helping listeners attend to the target voice and follow the stream of target speech, leading to a release of target speech from informational masking.

FREQUENCY OF ATRIAL FIBRILLATION AND ITS COMMON CLINICAL OUTCOMES AMONG PATIENTS PRESENTING WITH ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION

Objective: To determine frequency of atrial fibrillation and its common clinical outcomes among patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction. Methodology: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar from 1st May to 31st October 2013. Patients who were admitted with Acute Myocardial Infarction( STEMI and NSTEMI) were included. These patients were closely monitored and any episode of AF was recorded. Those patients who developed AF were closely monitored for common clinical outcomes in the form of stroke, VT, VF, and death for maximum of 7 days during hospital stay. The collected data was stored and analyzed in SPSS version 10.0 for windows. Mean±SD was calculated for numerical variables like age. Frequencies and percentages were calculated for categorical variables like gender, AF, VT, VF, stroke, type of MI, and death. AF and its common clinical outcomes were stratified among age, gender, and type of MI to see the effect modifications. Results: Out of 241 patients with acute myocardial infarction, males were 137 (56%) while females were 104 (43.2%). The mean age of the patients was 60.47±9.79 years. 174 (72.2%) patients had STEMI, while 67 (27.8%) patients had NSTEMI. Atrial fibrillation was found in 22 (9.1%) patients out of which, 22.7% had VF, followed by VT in 18.2% patients, while 18.2% patients died, and 13.6% patients sustained stroke. Conclusion: Atrial Fibrillation complicating acute myocardial infarction is common in our population. Such patients should be identified and closely monitored as they have got higher rate of complications and mortality during hospital course.
Planning and Delivery of Health Services - An Article Review on Urban Aboriginal Mobility in Canada: Examining the Association With Healthcare Utilization

An article from Social Science and Medicine , written by Snyder and Wilson (2012), examined the use of healthcare services by urban Aboriginal populations in Canada. Using the Behavioural Model of Health Services Use (BMHSU), predisposing, enabling, and need factors were organized and used for data analysis. Specifically, a comparison was made between conventional (physicians and nurses) and traditional (traditional healers) health service utilization in Toronto and Winnipeg. In addition to the geographical and educational factors, the results of the research recognized mobility as a significant predisposing complement to healthcare utilization.

ABSTRACT Analysis, Design And Development Of A Computer Game For Educational Tropical Diseases And International Health: A Teaching Tool To Support The Teacher. It has been designed and implemented a virtual learning game, understood as an instrument to enhance the dissemination of various concepts related to Tropical Diseases and International Health, in an easy and enjoyable environment. The game is targeted to university students as a learning tool to support this teaching. During this time we have worked pedagogical and technical issues as a whole, developing the concept of Play-Learning in a scientific environment, so that the contents and teaching methods are disseminated through art technology but accessible. The design simulates a board game with dice and feed boxes with different levels of difficulty (low, medium and high), and random questions that the player must answer correctly to advance. The levels of difficulty make the game challenge within limits but not desperate. At the end students received and useful information on the subject of the game. It is designed to be multi-user (up to four players), bilingual (English/Spanish, with possibility of extending into other languages) and two implementation options: stand-alone and online. The game is to be expanded for use on mobile. Future adjustment to the different areas of knowledge only involves changing the user interface and the selection criteria of the questions.
Restricciones de desarrollo y selección natural: una perspectiva teórica y epistémica desde la teoría de la complejidad

espanolLa utilizacion del termino “restricciones” (constraints) en biologia incluye todos los niveles de organizacion y es aplicado a diversas disciplinas. Esto genera numerosas confusiones debido a la vaguedad del termino en referencia a las distintas particularidades en que es utilizado. Y en general, no se justifica de forma adecuada por que se utiliza este termino y en que sentido es usado. Asimismo, cuando se analiza el termino “restriccion” desde la perspectiva de la complejidad, asume un significado mas difuso. El objetivo del presente trabajo es realizar un analisis de los problemas teoricos que presenta el uso de las restricciones de desarrollo, su relacion con otros tipos de restricciones y con el concepto de seleccion natural. Se concluye que el termino “restriccion de desarrollo” es innecesario y polisemico. Asimismo, su capacidad explicativa es dudosa y no corroborable con los metodos cientificos actuales. EnglishThe use of the term “constraint” in biology has reached all the organization levels and it is applied to different disciplines. This has led to several confusions due to the vagueness of the term in reference to different particularities in which it is used. And, in general is not justified in an appropriate manner why is using this term and in what sense it is used. Also, when the term “constraint” is analyzed from the perspective of complexity, more diffuse is its significance. The objective of the present work is to make an analysis of the theoretical problems that presents the use of constraints of development, its relation with other types of constraints and with the concept of natural selection. It is concluded that the term “developmental constraint” is unnecessary and polysemic. Also, its explanatory power is questionable and can not be tested with current scientific methods.
An Artificial Neural Networks Forecasting for Malaysia’s Load

In this paper, two artificial neural networks models, namely the multilayer feedforward neural network and the recurrent neural network are applied for Malaysia's load forecasting. A half hourly load data is divided equally into three distinct sets for training, validation and testing. Backpropagation is selected as the learning algorithm whereas the transfer function for both hidden layer and output layer is sigmoid the function. The forecasting performances were compared between these two models. The results show that, the sum squared error (SSE) of multilayer feedforward neural network were the lowest hence the multilayer feedforward neural network is a better model for a half hourly Malaysia's load.
Evaluations on Triage Applications for Chemical Casualties in Chemically Contaminated Area Kimyasalla Kirlenmiş Sahadaki Yaralilar İçin Triyaj Uygulamalarinin Değerlendirilmesi

In mass casualty situation occurred due to attacks involving chemical weapons either in peacetime or in a battlefield, triage is absolutely required for categorizing the casualties in accordance with medical care priorities. While applying triage system for chemical casualties, in particular available medical resources and medical treatment facilities and also maximally utilization of medical assets should be taken into consideration by experienced triage officers who are most familiar with the natural course of the injury presented and have highly information on medical assets. There are several triage systems applied to chemical casualties but not standardized. An effective and excellent triage application would not only reduce the destroying effects of chemical weapons on people but also increase the casualty survival.

Cross Layer Optimization in Wireless Sensor Network

The wireless sensor networks are the future of the networks, which depends on the number of applications. As we are talking about the network we have to consider the protocol, which is to be used to increase the performance of the network. Most of the time protocol used is not only for wired media but also for wireless is OSI protocol stack. Now a days most of the researchers focusing on cross layer design to increase the performance of the network by sharing the information between different layers. In this paper we focus on proposed design issues of cross layer design. The approach is to investigate the effects of the wireless channel and the physical layer performance of a small-scale wireless sensor network (WSN) to develop insights that can be used in the design and development of the optimization agent in the proposed cross-layer framework.
Billy Graham, Elmer Gantry, and the Performance of a New American Revivalism

Dr. Ronald E. Shields, Advisor Throughout Billy Graham’s career, the evangelist sought performative manners to ensure that he would not be perceived as another “Elmer Gantry”, or huckster preacher out to win money, fame, and favor. Graham’s intent was to grow a ministry that would form a new performance paradigm for American revivalism. Graham prepared as an actor to use his gifts, train his voice and body, to write a different style of script, to capitalize on celebrity, and to embrace new media forms that would bring his message around the world thus creating a “New” revivalism while at the same time distancing himself from being seen as the character in Sinclair Lewis’ novel Elmer Gantry and subsequent Richard Brooks directed movie version of Elmer Gantry starring Burt Lancaster as a Graham-like Gantry. This project reintroduces a familiar figure to recent history and elucidates the social and performative transitions constitutive of Billy Graham’s journey to cast himself as a desirable evangelist. Graham’s public performance is viewed, specifically from before the Los Angeles crusade of 1949 to Graham’s reaction following the Academy Awards when the movie version of Elmer Gantry won three statues (1961). The example of Graham in performance as preacher, as well as the type of evangelical faith he proffered and represented, sheds critical light on the way in which Graham created a new revivalism based on a new performance paradigm.
Hybrid Model for Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment Using Data Mining Techniques

------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT---------------------------------------------------Medical special treatment is today expanding so quickly to the amount that even experts have difficulties in following the latest new results, changes and treatments.Computers improve on humans in their ability to remember and such property is veryprecious for a computeraided system that enables advances for both diagnosisand treatments. A Computer Aided System or Decision Support System thatcan suggestknowledgeable human logic or serve as an assistant to a physician in themedical domain is gradually important. In the medical area diagnostics, grouping and treatment are the key tasks for a physician. System developmentfor such a purpose is also a popular area in Artificial Intelligence research.Decision Support System that bearsresemblances with human reasoning have benefits and are often easily accepted by physicians in the medical domain. Electronic health data supervision is characterized by high pressure and timely access. Retrieving patient data needs that all services and objects are connected to make data from different health care bases available. Clinical data warehouses in this contextual facilitate the analysis, link and access of the data obtained in the patient care process to progress the quality of decision making.This paper proposesthe plan of a real time adaptive framework thatshields the improvement of predicting, responding andmonitoring strange behaviors in patient data in adata warehouse environment.
View-dependent visualization for analysis of large datasets

Due to the impressive capabilities of human visual processing, interactive visualization methods have become essential tools for scientists to explore and analyze large, complex datasets. However, traditional approaches do not account for the increased size or latency of data retrieval when interacting with these often remote datasets. In this dissertation, I discuss two novel design paradigms, based on accepted models of the information visualization process and graphics hardware pipeline, that are appropriate for interactive visualization of large remote datasets. In particular, I discuss novel solutions aimed at improving the performance of interactive visualization systems when working with large numeric datasets and large terrain (elevation and imagery) datasets by using data reduction and asynchronous retrieval of view-prioritized data, respectively. First I present a modified version of the standard information visualization model that accounts for the challenges presented by interacting with large, remote datasets. I also provide the details of a software framework implemented using this model and discuss several different visualization applications developed within this framework. Next I present a novel technique for leveraging the hardware graphics pipeline to provide asynchronous, view-prioritized data retrieval to support interactive visualization of remote terrain data. I provide the results of statistical analysis of performance metrics to demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach. Finally I present the details of two novel visualization techniques, and the results of evaluating these systems using controlled user studies and expert evaluation. The results of these qualitative and quantitative evaluation mechanisms demonstrate improved visual analysis task performance for large numeric datasets.
Learning lexical-syntactic biases: An fMRI study on how we connect words and syntactic information

Language processing often involves learning new words and how they relate to each other. These relations are realized through syntactic information connected to a word, e.g. a word can be verb or a noun, or both, like the word ‘run’. In a behavioral and an fMRI task we showed that words and their syntactic properties, i.e. lexical items which were either syntactically ambiguous or unambiguous, can be learned through the probabilities of co-occurrence in an exposure session and subsequently used in a production task. Novel words were processed within regions of the language network (left inferior frontal and posterior middle temporal gyrus) and more syntactic options led to higher activations herein, even when the words were shown in isolation, suggesting combined lexical-syntactic representation. When words were shown in untrained grammatical contexts, activation in left inferior frontal cortex increased. This might reflect competition between the newly learned representation and the presented information. The results elucidate the lexical nature of the neural representations of lexical-syntactic information within the language network and the specific role of the left inferior frontal cortex in unification of the novel words with the surrounding context.
