Utilization of Information on Contagious Diseases through Twitter by Medical Students in Teaching Hospitals: A Case of Abia and Imo States.

Medical students of Abia and Imo States University teaching hospitals are believed not to be influenced by Twitter in the utilization of information on contagious diseases. To ascertain if they receive information on contagious diseases through Twitter formsthe bases for this survey. Thesurvey research methodwas adopted to studya population of 709 medical students of the two teaching hospitals under study. Structured questionnaires were used to collect information used for the analysis. Information was provided for the students to determine their level of agreement and the result shows that Twitter provides medical students with information on the pattern of the infection/ spread, information on how to avoid contracting an infection, It gives them news on the outbreak of contagious diseases and others. The paper, therefore, concludes that Twitter influences medical student‟s utilization of information on infectious diseases.

Implementing Botswana's National Cervical Cancer Prevention Programme: Providers' Fidelity to the See-and-Treat Algorithms

Precancerous cervical lesions can be easily prevented and treated. Yet, cervical cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed cancer and leading cause of cancer-related deaths for women in Botswana. To address this high burden, Botswana’s Ministry of Health (MOH) established the National Cervical Cancer Prevention Programme (NCCPP), which primarily focused on secondary prevention using the evidence-based, see-andtreat approach. See-and-treat is an alternative to Pap smear that combines screening (visual inspection with acetic acid, VIA) and treatment (cryotherapy) in a single visit approach. After successful pilot testing in the capital city of Gaborone, the program was scaled-up in 2014 to 5 additional sites (Lobatse, Selebi-Phikwe, Maun, Francistown, and Mahalapye). To achieve population-level reductions in cervical cancer, the goal of scale-up is to implement health innovations with high fidelity and achieve desired coverage. Therefore, the overarching goal of this dissertation was to comprehensively assess providers’ fidelity during scale-up of see-and-treat in Botswana. Fidelity was composed of two key aspects: (1) adherence, how well nurses’ treatment and referral choices aligned with the NCCPP see-and-treat algorithm and (2) competence, the level of skill maintained when nurses performed VIA screenings. Despite significant barriers to practice, results from this dissertation suggest that Botswana’s MOH accomplished a successful scale-up. Adherence was maintained during scale-up and competence was sustained over time. When controlling for covariates using log-binomial regression, adherence did not differ significantly between pilot and scaled-up sites (p=.2205). In addition, nurses at the pilot site achieved 75.4% sensitivity and 92.4% specificity when comparing their performance in conducting VIA to that of expert physicians, which was comparable to estimates attained in the pilot test. The quantitative data collected in this study has helped to identify problematic segments of the NCCPP see-and-treat algorithm. Future qualitative interviews will further elicit how and why providers experience implementation challenges in their daily practice and the implications for program fidelity. Botswana and other resource-limited countries can utilize these results to modify the see-and-treat algorithm, develop a fidelity instrument to facilitate ongoing monitoring, and/or test strategies to improve the scale-up process moving forward.

Peripheral and spinal mechanisms of somatic and visceral pain

■ Pain of deep and visceral origin is the most common form of pain produced by diseases. In contrast to the welllocalized and generally acute cutaneous pain, deep and visceral pain are aching, ill-localized and of chronic evolution. There is still no agreement on whether visceral pain is referred to the surface of the body or is simply vaguely localized by the higher centers of the nervous system. Some viscera are insen¬ sitive to noxious stimuli whereas others are extremely sensi¬ tive to them. The phenomenon of referred pain has been attri¬ buted to the convergence of visceral and somatic afferent fibers onto the same pool of sensory neurons in the spinal cord and subsequent cutaneous localization by the upper centers of the brain. There is no electrophysiological evidence of the exis¬ tence of specific visceral nociceptors. Some visceral afferent fibers enter the spinal cord via the ventral roots. Studies in the spinal cord have shown convergence of visceral and cu¬ taneous afferent fibers onto interneurons and neurons project¬ ing through several sensory ascending pathways including the spinothalamic tract. No pure visceral pathway has so far been found in the spinal cord. Data on the central nervous system representation of visceral information is scarce and inconclusive.
Low‐profile circularly polarized microstrip patch antenna with pattern diversity

This letter presents a two‐port circularly polarized pattern diversity microstrip patch antenna. The antenna is designed on a single layer with a low profile (0.021λ0, where λ0 is the free‐space wavelength at the central frequency). The broadside pattern and conical pattern of the antenna can be obtained by respectively exciting the fundamental mode of the inner circular patch and the high‐order mode of the entire circular patch. With four pairs of silts on the patch, the antenna achieves circular polarization for both broadside and conical patterns. A prototype of it is fabricated and measured. The measured overlapped bandwidth of 10‐dB return‐loss and 3‐dB axial ratio for both modes are 1.3% (1.569‐1.580 GHz) and 0.6% (1.565‐1.575 GHz), respectively. Moreover, the measured peak gain values are 6.4 and 3.7 dBi for broadside and conical modes, respectively. The satisfactory isolation (|S21| < −22 dB) is also achieved between the two feeding ports in the common impedance matching bands.

The Magic Circle

Abstract Compulsive gaming is a phenomenon seen with increasing frequency in recent years. In this article, the author develops insights gained through an intensive phenomenological analysis of his own relationship to games. Games offer individuals many things: a clear and explicit network of relationships, predetermined and inherently valuable goals, defined means to pursue said goals, space to creatively make use of these means, and an evaluative structure in the form of victory/loss conditions. The immediate connection between actions and outcomes found in games offers a sense of increased potency and agency. As such, games can seem superior to reality. The author argues that these qualities are especially powerful at the time of writing because of a marked cultural drift toward postmodern styles of thought, wherein traditional relationship structures and structures of value are challenged and deconstructed. This cultural drift is nested in the larger phenomenon of the Anthropocene, or the Age of Humanity; the author considers the Anthropocene in direct contrast to humanity’s longstanding dependence on, and opposition to, nature.
Discussing Modern Updated Criteria for Judging Autoimmune Disease

Witebsky’s criteria for autoimmune diseases were used for decades since 1957. His postulates are: 1. Direct demonstration of free circulating antibodies active at body temperature 2. Recognition of the specific antigen 3. Production of antibodies against same antigen in experimental animals 4. Experimental animal demonstrates same tissue changes in human. More updated and applicable criteria for autoimmune disorders are required due to recent advance in molecular immunology. Here, I propose new criteria. Possible criteria is HLA association. Probable criteria is HLA association plus TH subtype restriction without pathogen. Definite criteria is experimentally reproducible by autoantibody or self reactive T cell transfer. Optional criteria is Clinical or pathology clues. This new criteria is more practical. It should help to explore the actual disease pathophysiology and lead to better diagnosis and treatment strategies.
Autoría y estilo. Una atribución cervantina desde las humanidades digitales. El caso de La conquista de Jerusalén

Its effectiveness as a method for authorship attribution has been proven with cases in Spanish and other languages. This paper applies one of these digital methods for the clarification about the hypothesis of La conquista de Jerusalen , attributed to Miguel de Cervantes since its discovery
Improving Heat-Engine Performance by Employing Multiple Heat Reservoirs

The efficiencies of heat-engine operation employing various numbers ( ≥ 2) of heat reservoirs are investigated. Operation with the work output of the heat engines sequestered, as well as with it being totally frictionally dissipated, is discussed. We consider mainly heat engines whose efficiencies depend on ratios of a higher and lower temperature or on simple functions of such ratios but also provide brief comments concerning more general cases. We show that, if a hot reservoir supplies a heat engine whose waste heat is discharged and whose work output is totally frictionally dissipated into a cooler reservoir, which in turn supplies heat-engine operation that discharges waste heat into a still cooler reservoir, the total work output can exceed the heat input from the initial hot reservoir. This extra work output increases with increasing numbers ( ≥ 3) of reservoirs. We also show that this obtains within the restrictions of the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics.
CLINICOETIOLOGICALAND BIOCHEMICAL PROFILE OF NEONATAL CONVULSIONS

Neonatal seizures may present in 1-2% of term to almost 20% in preterm infants. Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, sepsis and bacterial meningitis are common causes. Biochemical abnormality and intra cranial bleed is also quiet common in this age. Aim of our study was to observe clinical presentation, to nd common etiological factors and analysis of associated biochemical abnormality in newborn presented with neonatal convulsions in our hospital. Prospective hospital based observational study. From January 2014 to December 2014, total 168 newborns admitted with convulsions or developed convulsions during hospitalization, 154 were included in the study. After taking complete history and appropriate physical examination, blood sample was collected before instituting specic therapy. Investigations advised to all were complete blood count, sepsis screen, blood sugar, serum electrolytes. CSF study, serum bilirubin, USG cranium, CT scan or MRI was also ordered when indicated. Cumulative frequency of neonatal convulsion in our study was 5.52%. Perinatal asphyxia was most common etiological factor in term or post term babies and presentation of seizures was early, intra cranial bleed and metabolic abnormality was common cause of convulsions in premature babies and presentation of seizure was somewhat late. Subtle seizure was most common type of ts followed by clonic type of seizures. Hypocalcemia was most common biochemical derangement. Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy was most common etiology of neonatal convulsions, presented with convulsions within 72 hours of life and subtle seizure and focal clonic or multifocal clonic was most common seizure type.
Experiences and Impact of Having Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder on the Lives of Their Korean-American Mothers

ABSTRACT A diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) changes family dynamics and impacts family members’ lives. Knowing family perceptions of ASD and understanding their experiences and challenges with children’s ASD provides more important context for socially valid intervention approaches. In particular, given the increased need for culturally responsive interventions, investigating the impact of ASD diagnosis on a particular cultural group offers meaningful preliminary evidence for efficient approaches for educators who seek to serve that population. In this study, the authors used naturalistic inquiry to explore how Korean American mothers experience their children’s ASD and how their cultural values and perceptions of ASD relate to their lives and their children’s education. Five Korean American mothers participated in this study. Using constant comparative analysis, four key themes were identified: (a) chains of emotional distress, (b) impact of ASD on family relationships, (c) lifestyle impact, and (d) cultural differences in navigating educational systems. These findings are discussed for future research and practice.
Factors Associated with Cholinesterase Level of Spraying Workers Using Paraquat Herbicide at Oil Palm Plantation in East Kalimantan, Indonesia

Latar Belakang: Organisasi Kesehatan Dunia pada tahun 2006 memperkirakan 1-5 juta kasus keracunan pestisida setiap tahun pada pekerja pertanian dengan kematian mencapai 220.000 korban. Sekitar 80% keracunan pestisida dilaporkan di negara-negara berkembang, termasuk Indonesia. Pada 10 tahun terakhir, luas perkebunan kelapa sawit di Kalimantan Timur meningkat sebesar 7,7%. Pada tahun 2017 perkebunan kelapa sawit di Kalimantan Timur mencapai 1,2 juta ha dengan jumlah pekerja mencapai 234 ribu orang. Hingga saat ini belum pernah ada kajian dampak paparan pestisida terhadap gangguan kesehatan dengan indikator kadar cholinesterase. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisis faktor yang berhubungan dengan tingkat keracunan penyemprot perkebunan kelapa sawit yang mengaplikasikan herbisida paraquat. Metode: Penelitian cross-sectional dengan metoda sampling acak sederhana telah dilakukan pada 326 penyemprot dari 10 perkebunan kelapa sawit yang menggunakan herbisida paraquat, untuk mengidentifikasi prevalensi keracunan dan faktor risikonya. Tingkat keracunan pestisida diukur berdasarkan kadar enzim cholinesterase darah menggunakan Tintometer kit. Usia, masa kerja, dan area penyemprotan per hari dikumpulkan dengan wawancara langsung. Data dianalisis menggunakan Uji Spearman. Hasil: Penyemprot herbisida sebagian besar berusia >26-34 tahun (31,9%), mempunyai masa kerja 26-34 years (31.9%), having working experience <5 years (76.1%), implementing a spray area per day of <4 ha (84%). A mild toxicity was experienced by 29 sprayers (8.9%). The prevalence of paraquat herbicide was correlated significantly with age ( p =0.000) and spraying area per day ( p =0.014). Conclusion: The prevalence of paraquat among herbicide sprayer at oil palm plantation was relative low. Application of herbicide with lower doses and reducing the spraying area are the necessary factors to be considered in order to prevent the herbicide poisoning become worst.
A new method for preparing needle-free cylindrical nozzle nanofibers

Aiming at the traditional single-needle electrospinning technology, a novel system for the efficient production of multi-production nanofibers through electrospinning is reported. The polymer solution is delivered to the liquid tank, and when the applied voltage exceeds a certain value, a plurality of nozzles is formed. In this paper, the electric field distribution of pinhole cylindrical spinneret structure is studied by simulating the electric field intensity with finite element software. The diameter and yield of the nanofibers were investigated by varying the center electrode voltage and the annular collector radius. The results show that the diameter and productivity of nanofibers are affected by the electric field intensity around the spinneret. Increasing the applied voltage and collecting distance has some significant effect on the diameter of nanofibers. The diameter of nanofibers increases with the concentration of the solution. The maximum yield of nanofibers is 3.1 g/h. It is noteworthy that this method not only greatly improves productivity but also significantly reduces the influence of solvent evaporation during electrospinning. This spinning method provides support for large-scale production of nanofibers in the future. This will be conducive to the further development of electrospinning, increase production, and more accurate control.
Three‐Dimensional Modeling of Spontaneous and Triggered Slow‐Slip Events at the Hikurangi Subduction Zone, New Zealand

At the southern Hikurangi margin, New Zealand, long‐term (duration of >1 year), deep (>25 km) slow‐slip events (SSEs) occur at intervals of approximately 5 years. In contrast, along the northern and central Hikurangi margin, short‐term and shallow (<10 km) SSEs (2‐ to 3‐week duration) occur at 1‐ to 2‐year intervals. However, it is not clear what controls these differences in SSE behavior. In this study, we simulate SSEs along the entire Hikurangi subduction zone using a 3‐D model of the plate boundary incorporating a rate‐and‐state friction law with a cutoff velocity to the evolution effect. Overall, our models are able to replicate the along‐strike and depth‐dependent variations in SSE behavior at the Hikurangi margin. Our models also show that the slip velocities of the deep, long‐term SSEs increase when the slip velocities at the deeper extension of the seismogenic zone increase during the latter half of the interseismic period. By imposing static stress changes induced by the Kaikōura earthquake in the SSE regions, we also reproduce patterns of triggering of deep, long‐term SSEs that followed the earthquake. Our results further suggest that the propensity for SSE triggering via static stress transfer depends on the amplitude of perturbation and the timing with respect to the SSE cycle. Overall, both spontaneous and triggered SSEs require larger values of effective stress for deep, long‐term events (~5 MPa) compared to the shallow, short‐term events (~1 MPa). Such low effective stresses can be explained by the existence of high pore fluid pressure in these SSE source regions.
Research on Application of Emergency Text Classification Based on Combination Model

Based on the powerful learning ability of the deep learning model, the text uses convolutional memory network (CLSTM) to process the text information of the emergency. Firstly, the convolutional neural network is used to learn the local spatial feature information of the text, and then the text is extracted by the long and short memory neural network. The time feature information is used to scale the feature information by using the Softmax layer to finally obtain the event text category. Through experimental comparison, the precision, recall and comprehensive values of CLSTM model reached 0.879, 0.877 and 0.848, respectively, which were significantly higher than MLP and CNN models.
Estimating the number of solutions on cardinality constraints

The main asset of constraint programming is its wide variety of algorithms that comes from the major areas of artificial intelligence, logic programming and operational research. It offers specialists a limitless range of possible configurations to tackle combinatorial problems, but it becomes an obstacle to the wider diffusion of the paradigm. The current tools are very far from being used as a black-box tool, and it assumes a good knowledge of the field, in particular regarding the parametrization of solvers.In this thesis, we propose to analyze the behavior of cardinality constraints with probabilistic models and counting tools, to automatically parameterize constraint solvers: heuristics of choice of variables and choice of values and search strategies.
Factors Correlated with Quality of Life of Gynecologic Malignancy Patients During First - Line Treatment

Objective To study factors correlated with quality of life (QOL) of gynecologic malignancy patients during first-line treatment Study design Cross-sectional analytical study Materials and Methods Two hundred and fifty-two gynecologic malignancy patients, during firstline treatment within 6 months after diagnosis, completed the general Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT-G) questionnaires (version 4, Thai version) in assessment of QOL. Univariate and multivariate linear regression analysis were used. Results In univariate analysis, patients with endometrial cancer, early stage, surgery and single modality of treatment had significantly higher total FACT-G percentage score. From multivariate analysis, early stage and single treatment were the two factors that still correlated with higher total FACT-G percentage score. Conclusion Higher QOL score of gynecologic malignancy patients during first-line treatment correlated with early stage of disease and single modality of treatment.
