Use of evaluation tools to evaluate symptoms and changes in climacteric women in the Czech Republic and abroad

Aim: The paper surveys empirical research on the use of evaluation tools with the purpose of evaluating symptoms and changes in climacteric women in the Czech Republic and other countries. In order to evaluate the range of individual symptoms, a great number of standardized questionnaires and measuring scales have been created, which are logically designed for clear statistic evaluation, and are used on a global scale to measure the severity of disorders, or quality of life of women. Design: A literature review. Methods: In outline, the article is an overview making use of content analysis of studies published in scientific databases, e.g. EBSCO, PubMed, ProQuest, and ScienceDirect, during the years 2012 to 2018. The overview focuses on articles dealing with the use of evaluation tools in connection with menopause. After screening for eligibility, 25 articles were eventually analyzed. Results: Following analysis of the results of foreign empirical research, it was apparent that the most common evaluation tool for defining the types and level of symptoms in climacteric women was the Menopausal Rating Scale. Besides this tool, other tools, such as the Greene Climacteric Scale, the Kuperrman index, the Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire, the Womenʼs Health Questionnaire, and the Utian Quality of life Scale were used in this field. Two studies focusing on the Czech Republic were analyzed. The standardized tool used in these cases was the Menopausal Rating Scale. Conclusion: A number of foreign studies have been conducted regarding climacteric women monitoring symptoms and changes in psychological condition and behaviour, and changes in their cognitive and emotional states, or evaluating their quality of life. However, only two such studies have been undertaken in the Czech Republic.
Analysis of Cost Overruns in Saudi Arabia Construction Projects: A University Case Study

Public projects in Saudi Arabia have been experiencing low construction project performance for the past decade. Studies have identified the low-bid delivery method as an important factor in causing such delays. In addition, low bids for contracts have not reflected the actual project cost. A case study was conducted at a university campus in northern Saudi Arabia in which the actual project costs for four projects were examined. The study found that all four projects’ costs were higher than the original bid. In addition, a large survey was conducted of 804 classified contractors and universities representatives who identified change orders as the most common factor causing cost overruns in Saudi Arabia. Previous studies showed that some contractors aim to submit low bids for winning the competition then change orders to reduce their losses. Consequently, low bids also lead to cost overruns. In a comparison using the result of a case study and the results of the Performance Information Procurement System (PIPS), Saudi Arabia’s delivery system was identified as a potential cause of project performance issues.
A microbiological assessment of peri-implant sites and implant-abutment interfaces in diabetic and healthy individuals

Although diabetes has been postulated as a risk factor for peri-implantitis, research on this subject has been very limited. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the microbiological profiles in peri-implant sites and the implant-abutment interface in diabetic and healthy implant recipients. The same root-form implant was used in all the participants. 360 samples were collected at 4 different time points (2, 14, 30, and 90 days after surgery) from 2 different locations (the peri-implant site and the implant-abutment interface) in triplicate. In the collected samples, 4 pathogens associated with both periodontitis and peri-implantitis were counted using quantitative polymerase chain reactions. At the peri-implant sites, no statistical differences in the number of the investigated species were observed between the healthy and diabetic patients at any time point. The number of bacteria in the implant-abutment interface increased with the implantation time. However, no significant difference was observed between the healthy and diabetic patients at the implant-abutment interface. The profiles of the major pathogens in the peri-implant site and the implant-abutment interface were not affected by diabetes. These findings are in accordance with previous studies.

The Qualitative Report The

Abstract As many colleges and universities continue to increase their enrollment and diversification of their student body, the number of first-generation college students of color will continue to rise. Colleges have been charged with the challenge of not only enrolling this student population but also ensuring that they are connected to the university and persist to graduation. The purpose of this phenomenological qualitative study was to examine the lived experiences of first-generation college students of color at a Predominantly White Institution (PWI). This study utilized individual in-depth interviews and a focus group to examine how first-generation students of color experienced college at a PWI. Four major themes were revealed: a college degree is a means to a better lifestyle; money always matters; a heightened sense of safety concerns exists; and there is a desire for a supportive multicultural campus environment. The findings of this study may aid institutional leaders in understanding the first-generation college student of color experience at a PWI and assist in establishing and maintaining academic and social support programs that are geared towards these students.
The Many Difficulties and Subtleties in the Cognitive Assessment of Chronic Hepatitis C Infection

Since the discovery of HCV in 1989, several diseases have been related to chronic infection by this virus. Often, patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) complain of cognitive impairment even before the development of hepatic cirrhosis, which they described as “brain fog. ” Several studies have proposed a link between chronic HCV infection and the development of cognitive alterations, but the inclusion of confounding factors in their samples significantly limits the analysis of the results. In this article, we will give an overview about cognitive dysfunction in patients with HCV.
Fabrication & Characterisation of Mg- MWCNT & AZ31-MWCNT Nanocomposites

This paper discus with manufacturing of Mg-MWCNT & AZ31-MWCNT based nanocomposites by Stir casting route. MWCNTs with variable percentage of 0.33 wt%, 0.66 wt%, and 0.99 wt % into Mg alloy AZ31 matrix. The effects of varying percentages of MWCNTs on Mg-MWCNT & AZ31-MWCNT are studied by using mechanical properties such as density, porosity and hardness. The characterization reveals gives the better mechanical properties for AZ31-0.99 wt% MWCNT amongst all composites. The reason behind the increase is due to proper mixing of MWCNT into Mg alloy matrix. The density and hardness measurements show that lighter nanocomposites can be produced with the incorporation of MWCNT into Mg & AZ31 alloy with higher strength.
Climate Change: Global Indicators, Socio-economic Implications and Mitigation

Climate change which is the variation in the climate condition over comparable periods has some indicators like surface temperature, atmospheric carbon and greenhouse gases (GHGs) and ozone layer area. This paper seeks to examine the state of the climate change indicators, their effects and how climate change can be mitigated. A review of data sources and literature reveal that global average temperature has increased more than 0.8oC above the pre-industrial baseline over the past 100 years with 2016 and 2017 being the warmest years. Fossil carbon emissions also reached up to 41.5 billion tons in 2018. The extent of depletion of the ozone reduced to an area of 24.8x10 6 km 2 in 2018 as against its value of 28.2 x10 6 km 2 and 29.6 x10 6 km 2 in 2015 and 2006 respectively. The effects of climate change on the socio-economic development were identified to include; natural disasters, food insecurity, diseases, human mobility and population displacement. To mitigate the adverse effects of climate change, minimizing our dependence on petroleum and fossil fuels by using cleaner and renewable energy sources, carbon capture and sequestration, proper management of land, forest and the entire ecosystem was highlighted. If these options are explored, climate change will drastically reduce while fostering global economic, environmental and social well-being.

Assessment of serum zinc, copper and copper/zinc ratio in adult patients with psoriasis

Background: Psoriasis is an immune-mediated, chronic inflammatory disease of genetic basis, which affects mainly the skin, although it has systemic pathological effects. The most severe forms have been associated with several diseases that have similar pathogenic factors. Many studies showed that trace elements play vital role in some inflammatory responses such as psoriasis. The aim of current study was to estimate the levels of serum trace elements (zinc, copper and Cu/ Zn ratio) in psoriatic patients and evaluate the impact of these values on the severity and pathogenesis of psoriasis. Methods: In this case-control study, (50) patients with psoriasis were divided into three subgroups (mild, moderate and severe) and (50) healthy controls were examined. PASI score for each patient was calculated. Serum levels of Cu and Zn were measured by Flameless Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer and Cu/ Zn ratio was calculated. Results: After measurements and comparisons between psoriatic patients and age-, and gender-, matched control group, results showed significant differences in copper and Cu/ Zn ratio among these groups, but no significant differences in serum zinc were showed. There was significant increase in serum copper and Cu/ Zn ratio (P value = 0.017 and 0.032 for copper and Cu/ Zn ratio, respectively) for psoriatic patients as compared with control group. Results also showed no significant differences in serum zinc between psoriatic patients and control group. No significant differences in the concentration of serum copper were observed between females and males of patients group, but highly significant increase of serum zinc in female as compared with males of psoriatic patients. Conclusion: increased serum copper may play a major role in Al-Sultany et al (2020): Profile of patients with psoriasis January 2020 Vol. 23 (I) ©Annals of Tropical Medicine & Public Health S391 increasing the inflammatory response in psoriatic disease. No apparent relationship was observed in our study between psoriasis pathogenesis or severity and level of serum zinc. In addition, Cu/ Zn ratio is a good marker for measuring severity of psoriasis.
IMPACT OF SOME INHIBITORS ON FUNGI GROWTH DURING RAS CHEESE STORAGE

The growth of fungi on cheese surface causes significant economic losses for producers in addition to the negative impact on the consumers health as a result of their exposure to mycotoxins, especially that produced by Aspergillus spp. The present study is a trail to protect Ras cheese from fungal attack. The cheese wheels was coated with a water suspension of 50% of bentonite clay, sprayed with 5% of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) solution or wrapped with plastic membranes treated with 5% solution of NaHCO3 and compared with control cheese wheels (without treatment) during 6 months of ripening and cold storage. The results showed in vitro growth inhibition effect of of Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger and Penicillium requeforti cultivated in PDA medium amended with bentonite clay (50%) or NaHCO3 (5%) solutions. These two treatments were found to prevent fungal growth on cheese surface without affecting the chemical and the sensory properties of cheese.
Behavioural effects of cage enrichment in single-caged adult cats

Behavioural observations were made of 10 six-month-old male, individually caged cats in their 56 x 63 x 67 cm cages with or without the additional stimuli of a log, a ball or both objects. Each cat was observed for 5 days in each condition. Placing objects in the cages caused a decrease in inactivity and self-play activities and the cats sniffed and played with the log and ball. Whereas modified behaviours associated with the log decreased over days, a high level of activity was maintained in association with the ball. The importance of the movement caused by the stimulation of the objects is discussed and improvements in the husbandry of isolated cats are suggested.
Educational Social Network Group Profiling: An Analysis of Differentiation-Based Methods

Social media communities are usually formed by similarities among users. In educational social networks, several factors propitiate the user group generation, e.g. share the same academic environment or interested in common curricular. In order to explain the group formation resulted from educational social network, we applied two group proﬁling methods based on differentiation. Wilcoxon rank-sum test and PART rules algorithm were applied to a dataset available, the OJE educational social network. The performed experiments showed that the methods were effective to group proﬁling generation, characterizing 81.81% and 100% of groups, respectively.
Characteristics of the root system in two Brazilian upland rice varieties which exhibit contrasting behavior towards drought tolerance

Root system architecture plays a fundamental role in the adaptation of rice to environments subjected to abiotic stresses. This study aimed to characterize the root architecture and morphology of two Brazilian upland rice varieties which display contrasting behavior towards drought tolerance: the tolerant Catetao and susceptible Mira varieties. Two experiments were carried out under greenhouse and growth chamber conditions. The experimental design was completely randomized in a 2 × 2 factorial scheme (varieties × drought stress conditions) with four replicates. Rice varieties were subjected to control and drought conditions for 14 days. Drought stress was applied either by withholding water until the desirable soil tension was achieved or by addition of 20% polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG) to the nutritive solution. After harvest, the dry weight, root architecture, as well as physiological and root features were assessed. Under drought stress, a higher root biomass was recorded in Catetao compared to Mira. A higher ratio of deep rooting (RDR) was observed for Catetao, while Mira remained stable in response to drought stress. The evaluated physiological features showed that the Catetao variety is less likely to compromise membrane integrity and lipid peroxidation during drought stress. Moreover, analyzed root features exhibited a significant increase in lateral root emission and root density for Catetao in response to drought treatment, which may be considered an important feature when selecting for superior genotypes.
Kyphoplasty for osteoporotic fractures: Experience of a single center

Osteoporosis increases the risk of spontaneous fractures of skeleton by enhancing the microstructure of the bones. Kyphoplasty is preferred for decreasing the pain and disability in treatment of spinal fractures. We aimed to report our clinical experience in kyphoplasty for spinal frac - ture treatment and to express a brief literature review. We performed balloon kyphoplasty in 14 patients with osteoporotic spinal fractures between January 2012 and July 2015. Nine of the patients were women and 5 were men. Age of the patients ranged between 59 to 81 years. We think that spinal fractures should be initially treated with conventional methods, however, kyphoplasty should be done without a delay because it is very effective in pain and other complications of the fracture and a relatively safer method than other interventions.
Merging regional and global AOD records from major available satellite products

Satellite instruments provide a vantage point for studying aerosol loading consistently over different regions of the world. However, the typical lifetime of a single satellite platform is on the order of 5-15 years; thus, for climate studies, the use of multiple satellite sensors should be considered. Discrepancies exist between aerosol optical depth (AOD) products due to differences in their information content, spatial and temporal sampling, calibration, cloud masking, and other algorithmic approach/assumptions. Users of satellite-based regional AOD time-series are often confronted with the challenge of choosing 25 an appropriate dataset for the intended application. In this study, 16 monthly AOD products obtained from different satellite sensors and with different algorithms were intercompared and evaluated against Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) monthly AOD. Global and regional analysis indicates that products tend to agree qualitatively on the annual, seasonal and monthly time scales, but may be offset in magnitude. Several approaches were then investigated to merge the AOD records from different satellites and create an optimized AOD 30 dataset. With few exceptions, all merging approaches lead to similar results, indicating the robustness and stability of the merged AOD products. In this paper, we introduce a gridded monthly AOD merged product for the period 1995-2017. We show that the quality of the merged product is as least as good as that of individual products. Optimal agreement of the AOD merged product with AERONET further demonstrates the advantage of merging multiple products. This merged dataset provides a long-term 35 perspective on AOD changes over different regions of the world, and users are encouraged to use this dataset.
Executive Function performance in patients with obesity: A systematic review

Executive dysfunction is associated with the inability to control aberrant behaviors, such as chronic overeating (Moore, Sabino, Koob, & Cottone, 2017). Obese individuals often report great difficulties controlling eating behaviors, despite a desire to successfully lose weight (Dohle, Diel, & Hofmann, 2018). However, current literature lacks a systematic review about the relationship between executive dysfunction and Obesity. The aim of this study is to present the most important findings about this matter. First, a bibliometric analysis shows the evolution of the topic. Then, the Tree of Science tool is used to show a chronological review that provides a general description of the roots and current perspectives of the state of literature. Finally, clustering analysis of the co-citation network was employed to identify the different perspectives of the topic. The main findings suggest four approaches: (1) effects of body mass index on 1 Psicólogo. Magister en Neuropsicología.

Investigating the synergistic effect of pomegranate ( Punica granatum L.) peel extract and quercetin on Calu-6 human lung carcinoma cells

: Background: Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers. Herbal compounds have been considered for the treatment of cancer due to anticancer effects. Peel of Pomegranate ( Punica granatum L.) has antioxidant and anticancer properties due to its phenolic compounds. Quercetin is a herbal flavonoid that can inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. The present study compared the anti-proliferative effects of pomegranate’s fruit peel extract and quercetin on the calu-6 human lung carcinoma cell line and their co-effects in inhibiting the proliferation and migration of cancer cells. Material and Methods: Calu-6 cell line was purchased from Pasteur institute and cultured in RPMI1640 medium containing 10% FBS and 1% antibiotic. To determine the survival rate of t-cells, MTT assay was performed. Type of cell death was determined by flow cytometry, and scratch test was used to determine the migration rate of the cells. Results: The results showed that pomegranate fruit peel extract and quercetin inhibited the proliferation of lung cancer cells. Also, quercetin and pomegranate extract induced apoptosis in calu-6 cells individually and simultaneously so that the level of expression of annexin-V in quercetin and pomegranate peel extract was 18.20% and 15.59%, respectively, and increased by 25.51% during the co-treatment that difference was significant at P <0.05 The results of the scratch test also indicated that pomegranate peel extract and quercetin inhibited metastatic activity in calu-6 cells. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that quercetin and pomegranate peel extract have anti-cancer effects and can be considered as a complementary medicine of lung cancer.
Survey on Attention Neural Network Models for Natural Language Processing

: Natural language processing(NLP) task like machine translation, sentence summarization,sentence pair modeling, paraphrase identification, natural language inference, question answering etc typically learn the sentence embedding for representation of context and further to transform the text for providing the solution using neural network encoder decoder architecture. The models typically used are Long Short Term Memory(i.e.LSTM), Convolution Neural Network (i.e.CNN), RNN Recurrent Neural Natwork (i.e RNN) etc. These neural network models performance degrades if length of the sentence is over 30 words is fed as input for NLP task in general. Attention models have shown better performance for large sentences. Attention mechanisms have recently attracted wide interest in NLP community due to its ability to perform parallel computation, requires significantly less training time, and flexibility in modeling context dependencies. This paper is a comprehensive survey of attention models for natural language processing task.
