The origination of network and internet inspire people all over the world to use it’s full of benefits in their day to day work, wherever they are engaged in any types of activities. Everybody started internet as a tool own ease. With the development of social media networks and its' enormous impact on today's young generation, business organizations are changing their style into an online business mode in order to gain more profit. Different ways of online advertisements are making the attention of the youth while they chat with their friends using social media networks. Not only this kind of factors affects one’s attention in order to entice them, but also there are different popular words are being used by product advertising business organizations to attract youth like the best deal, instant discount and from 15% to 50% off are gaining more attention among younger generations now a days. Young generations are paying more attention and interested in online shopping due to more discounts they get from online business organizations and also less price than the maximum retail price of the companies. Therefore, in Sri Lanka, most young generations have been being attracted towards online shopping using social media networks.
Etude des structures MOSFET avancées sur SOI pour les applications basse consommation

Cette etude, a but prospectif, s'attache a concevoir et comparer differentes architectures mosfet dans la perspective d'applications basse tension et basse puissance. Un premier chapitre introductif met en evidence les enjeux de ces applications ainsi que les proprietes essentielles des materiaux et des structures mos soi. Dans le deuxieme chapitre, nous proposons un modele inedit du courant de recombinaison dans les diodes pin a simple et double grille, pouvant etre introduit sous une forme compacte dans les simulateurs de dispositifs, ou utilise en caracterisation fine de la qualite des interfaces et du materiau. Les effets de couplage bidimensionnel, ou effets de canal court, dans l'oxyde et le substrat enterres, ainsi que leur influence sur le courant de fuite du canal sont modelises dans le chapitre iii, en utilisant des outils mathematiques adaptes, et pour la premiere fois de maniere non empirique. Cette etude permet de suggerer des optimisations architecturales telles que : l'utilisation de films minces peu dopes, ou de plans de masse. Les transistors mos a film mince ou ultra-mince, permettant une reduction d'echelle encore plus poussee, presentent quant a eux des proprietes de conduction particulieres dues notamment a l'effet du confinement sur la repartition de la charge et de la mobilite. Cet effet du confinement dans des films d'epaisseur minimale de 3 nm est etudie analytiquement et experimentalement au chapitre iv. Enfin, le phenomene de tension de seuil dynamique, qui reduit notablement la tension de seuil de transistor mos a l'etat passant, est analyse au cours du chapitre v sur les structures dt-mos et partiellement desertee a substrat flottant. Pour ces derniers dispositifs, nous proposons une methode de mesure en frequence a courant moyen et mettons en evidence un phenomene transitoire de generation atypique, dont la dependance en frequence est mise en evidence.
Oral Tranexamic Acid in Hip and Knee Arthroplasty: A Prospective Cohort Study

Intravenous Tranexamic acid has been shown to decrease blood transfusion requirements in sur- gery. Little evidence exists regarding the much cheaper oral form. The objective of this cohort study was to evaluate whether oral tranexamic acid administration in patients undergoing elec- tive hip and knee replacement surgery resulted in decreased transfusion requirements. Methods: We assessed the transfusion requirements of 332 patients following unilateral total hip or knee arthroplasty, with the first 140 receiving no tranexamic acid and the next 192 given 1 g oral tranexamic acid one hour prior to and a further 1 g 4 hours post joint arthroplasty. Haemoglobin before and after surgery, the number of units transfused post-operatively and the incidence of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism were recorded. Results: In the first group, there were 22 instances of transfusion (15.7%) and a mean haemoglobin drop of 32.2 g/L, while the second (tranexamic acid) group had just 12 patients transfused (6.3%) and a mean haemoglobin drop of 24.6 g/L (both significantly less, p < 0.01). There was no significant difference in deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism rates between groups. Conclusions: This is the first prospective study to analyze the outcome of oral tranexamic acid administration in hip and knee replacement. We conclude that oral tranexamic acid administration is a safe and effective means to decrease transfusion requirements in joint arthroplasty and is a much cheaper alternative to intravenous preparations of tranexamic acid.
Wearable Performance Devices in Sports Medicine

Context: Wearable performance devices and sensors are becoming more readily available to the general population and athletic teams. Advances in technology have allowed individual endurance athletes, sports teams, and physicians to monitor functional movements, workloads, and biometric markers to maximize performance and minimize injury. Movement sensors include pedometers, accelerometers/gyroscopes, and global positioning satellite (GPS) devices. Physiologic sensors include heart rate monitors, sleep monitors, temperature sensors, and integrated sensors. The purpose of this review is to familiarize health care professionals and team physicians with the various available types of wearable sensors, discuss their current utilization, and present future applications in sports medicine. Evidence Acquisition: Data were obtained from peer-reviewed literature through a search of the PubMed database. Included studies searched development, outcomes, and validation of wearable performance devices such as GPS, accelerometers, and physiologic monitors in sports. Study Design: Clinical review. Level of Evidence: Level 4. Results: Wearable sensors provide a method of monitoring real-time physiologic and movement parameters during training and competitive sports. These parameters can be used to detect position-specific patterns in movement, design more efficient sports-specific training programs for performance optimization, and screen for potential causes of injury. More recent advances in movement sensors have improved accuracy in detecting high-acceleration movements during competitive sports. Conclusion: Wearable devices are valuable instruments for the improvement of sports performance. Evidence for use of these devices in professional sports is still limited. Future developments are needed to establish training protocols using data from wearable devices.
The Relation of Computer-Based Measures of Sperm Morphology and Motility to Male Infertility

We investigated the relation between various sperm characteristics, including morphometric parameters, and impaired fertility among 596 men who participated in a national study. Semen was collected and processed by using a standardized protocol, and sperm measurements were made using a computer- aided sperm analysis instrument. We defined infertility in two ways: (1) the inability to father a child after trying for a year or longer, and (2) the number of children fathered. We found that all measures of sperm motion were decreased among men with impaired fertility. After adjustment for the other motion parameters and various potential confounders, however, only the percentage of progressive cells was associated with infertility. One morphometric parameter, the mean length/width ratio, was. consistently associated with both measures of infertility, even after adjustment for potential covariates. This measure was also strongly associated with infertility among various subgroups defined by poor sperm concentration, motility, and morphology. The sperm length/ width ratio appears to be an important correlate of infertility in males. (Epidemiology 1992;3:239-246)

As one of the social entrepreneurship models which are successful and become innovation model is the empowerment of the community around the mosque. This research conducted in one of the amous mosque in Pasuruan, Cheng-Hoo Mosque. A method in this research uses Qualitative Four-D method from for the purpose of giving the socio-economic contribution and recommending mosque as social entrepreneurship model of Islamic Civilization Center from various aspects that are social activity, economy, and activity religion and culture.
Allergic patients have more numerous and prolonged respiratory infections than nonallergic subjects

Background: Allergic disorders are characterized by type 2 helper T cell (Th2)‐polarization, thus physiological type 1 helper T cell (Th1)‐dependent mechanisms involved in fighting respiratory infections (RI) may be defective. It has previously been reported that allergic children have more numerous and severe RI than nonallergic ones.
Nonmodifiable characteristics associated with nonadherence to immunosuppressant therapy in renal transplant recipients.

PURPOSE Relationships between adherence to immunosuppressant therapy and adult renal transplant recipients' age, time posttransplant, race, and sex were evaluated to identify factors that predict nonadherence. METHODS Pharmacy refill data were used to measure adherence. In a primary analysis, stepwise regression was used to assess the relationship between independent variables (age, sex, time posttransplant, and race) and adherence. In a secondary analysis to provide categorical summaries, stepwise regression was used to assess the relationship between independent variables (age quartiles, sex, time posttransplant quartiles, and race) and adherence. RESULTS In the primary analysis, age and time posttransplant were significant predictors of adherence rate (p < 0.05), with adherence rate decreasing as age and time posttransplant increased. In the secondary analysis, age quartile 4 (>or=60 years) and time posttransplant quartile 1 (<or=4 years) were significant predictors of adherence (p < 0.01), with adherence rates lower among age quartile 4 and higher among posttransplant quartile 1. CONCLUSION In patients who had received renal transplants, the rate of adherence to immunosuppressant therapy decreased as patient age and time since transplantation increased.
Jury is still out on the radiative forcing by black carbon

Peng et al. (1) conclude that a fast increase in the mass absorption cross-section (MAC) of black carbon (BC) in urban environments leads to significantly increased estimates of the BC radiative forcing (RF). Their chamber measurements are highly valuable and complement observations performed in ambient conditions, but their “enhancement factor” relative to an unspecified baseline may not be directly comparable to values used or simulated in global aerosol models. MAC, a key parameter in our understanding of the net BC climate impact, is indeed a more relevant quantity to examine. A fast MAC enhancement in polluted environments as the BC gets coated with organic and inorganic species is consistent with recent findings (2, 3). Global models used in AeroCom [table S1 in Peng et al. (1), ref. 4] have an average MAC of ∼8 m2 … [↵][1]1To whom correspondence should be addressed. Email: olivier.boucher{at}lmd.jussieu. fr.

HLA-A*0201, HLA-A*1101, and HLA-B*0702 Transgenic Mice Recognize Numerous Poxvirus Determinants from a Wide Variety of Viral Gene Products1

In virus models explored in detail in mice, CTL typically focus on a few immunodominant determinants. In this study we use a multipronged approach to understand the diversity of CTL responses to vaccinia virus, a prototypic poxvirus with a genome ∼20-fold larger than that of the model RNA viruses typically studied in mice. Based on predictive computational algorithms for peptide binding to HLA supertypes, we synthesized a panel of 2889 peptides to begin to create an immunomic map of human CTL responses to poxviruses. Using this panel in conjunction with CTLs from vaccinia virus-infected HLA transgenic mice, we identified 14 HLA-A*0201-, 4 HLA-A*1101-, and 3 HLA-B*0702-restricted CD8+ T cell determinants distributed over 20 distinct proteins. These peptides were capable of binding one or multiple A2, A3, and B7 supertype molecules with affinities typical of viral determinants. Surprisingly, many of the viral proteins recognized are predicted to be late gene products, in addition to the early intermediate gene products expected. Nearly all of the determinants identified have identical counterparts encoded by modified vaccinia virus Ankara as well as variola virus, the agent of smallpox. These findings have implications for the design of new smallpox vaccines and the understanding of immune responses to large DNA viruses in general.
The nuclei gemini. Two hitherto undescribed nerve cell collections in the hypothalamus of the rabbit

The division of the hypothalamus of mammals into different nuclei or areas has generally been based on cytoarchitec-tonic principles. The results are definite and not in dispute with regard to certain of the nuclei for example, the nucleus supraopticus and the nucleus paraventric-ularis. These nuclei are not only defined by the site of the nerve cells and their special cytological characteristics, especially their neurosecretory properties, but also by the intercellular histology and by the fact that the neurites of the cells have a common termination in the neurohy-pophysis. In the tuber cinereum itself and in the mamillary body, agreement has almost been reached in recent years on a subdivision
Effects of doubly fed wind generators on voltage stability of power systems

With increasing wind-power penetration, new types of generators are introduced in the power systems and their impact over the voltage stability must be analyzed. This paper is concerned with the effectiveness of voltage stability index in providing information about the proximity to instability of a power system that includes a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG). The study is carried out over a wide range of system operating conditions by changing the level of wind power penetration and the load of the system. The Western System Coordinating Council (WSCC) 9 bus modified system is used as a test case and simulation is performed using Matlab-based toolbox (PSAT). The results show that the voltage stability of the network can be improved at low levels of wind penetration and for that conclusion a voltage stability index can be used how an important tool.
Examination of Anomalous Self-Experience in First-Episode Psychosis: Interrater Reliability

Background: The growing research focus on early detection of schizophrenia has fostered an increasing interest in the nonpsychotic experiential anomalies that may antedate schizophrenia spectrum disorders and assist early differential diagnosis. The Examination of Anomalous Self-Experience (EASE) is a phenomenologically inspired checklist, specifically designed to support the comprehensive assessment of these characteristic subjective experiences. Aim: To assess the interrater reliability of the EASE. Sampling and Methods: Twenty-five first-episode psychosis (FEP) patients were interviewed with the EASE. Videotaped interviews were blindly reevaluated. Internal consistency, overall interrater correlation and item interrater agreement (Cohen’s kappa) were estimated. Results: The EASE showed good to excellent internal consistency across the two raters (Cronbach’s alpha above 0.87) and an overall inter-rater correlation above 0.80 (Spearman’s rho, p < 0.001). The average kappa of the EASE was 0.65, ranging from 0.51 to 0.73 over the 5 domains; kappa values at an item level were very good in 9 items, good in 20 items, moderate in 11 items and fair in 4 items. Conclusion: The EASE provides a reliable and internally consistent clinical tool for the assessment of subjective experience in FEP patients, suggesting that this instrument could usefully supplement standard clinical assessments during the onset phase of psychosis.
Antioxidant regulatory mechanisms in neutrophils and lymphocytes after intense exercise

Abstract The aims of this study were to assess the effects of a swimming session on the peripheral blood neutrophil and lymphocyte pro- and antioxidant system, identify any differences between the sexes and the regulatory mechanisms that might induce the immune cell adaptive response to exercise. Twenty-four swimmers (15 males, 9 females) participated in a one-hour swimming session at 75–80% of their maximal capacity. The session induced neutrophilia and decreased antioxidant enzyme activities and ascorbate levels in neutrophils. Malondialdehyde rose in neutrophils in males and females, whereas the carbonyl index only increased in males. Lymphocyte glutathione peroxidase activity was higher in males at baseline and rose as a consequence of exercise. The exercise decreased uncoupling protein-3 and Bcl-2 gene expression. The expression of PPARγ coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1α) correlated positively with that of sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) and catalase. In summary, a swimming session of one hour at 75–80% of maximal capacity produced oxidative damage in neutrophils and induced the antioxidant defences in lymphocytes. PGC-1α and SIRT3 appear to be key effectors of this adaptive response in lymphocytes. Both the neutrophil and lymphocyte response to exercise were slightly weaker in females than males.
A Case Study of E-commerce Adoption in Jordanian Small and Medium Enterprises ( SMEs )

Nowadays the adoption of electronic commerce in business operations is no longer a concession to large organizations. The SMEs also are trying to adopt e-commerce in their business operations to gain the benefits of using it. The SMEs is considered to be playing a major role in economic growth for most nations. The SMEs in Jordan, which is a developing country, made up the vast majority of the Jordanian enterprises where about 98% of the manufacturing and service enterprises are SMEs. Despite the enormous attention given to encourage the SMEs to adopt e-commerce by the government, e-commerce adoption level is still low. It is, therefore, the aim of this paper to identify the factors that contribute towards the adoption of e-commerce by SMEs in their business operations. A case study research was carried out to identify factors that determine the varying extent of e-commerce adoption in SMEs. The findings of the case studies showed that security, online payment, awareness of e-commerce and external IT support are barriers for e-commerce adoption in Jordan.
Identification of phonocardiogram signal based on STFT and Marquart Lavenberg Backpropagation

Auscultation is one of method that has been used by doctor in the process to identify heart disease. But with only using auscultation is not possible to obtain quantitative data, because relating to the skills, experience and subjectivity doctor, for it to be made a program that can help doctors to identify heart abnormalities. Short Time Fourier Transform is used to analyze the frequency and timing of the patterns of normal and abnormal heart sounds. With the method of Levenberg Marquardt Back propagation expected 10 class heart sound can be identified with a good. The results showed that the accuracy will be higher when the number of neurons increased. When neurons 25 produce more accurate results with accuracy percentage is higher and more stable for each class. Where the highest accuracy is on the holo diastolic murmur class and the Normal Heart class with accuracy up to 99,9999%.

Efficacy and Safety of Lansoprazole in Adolescents with Symptomatic Erosive and Non-erosive Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Objectives: To assess the efficacy and safety of lansoprazole in the treatment of adolescents with symptomatic, endoscopically proven, non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease and erosive esophagitis. Methods: Adolescents between 12 and 17 years of age with esophagitis were enrolled in this open-label trial and treated with lansoprazole 15 mg (non-erosive) or 30 mg (erosive) once daily for 8 weeks. If unhealed at week 8, those with erosive esophagitis were treated with an additional 4 weeks of lansoprazole 30 mg once daily. Results: Lansoprazole produced a significant reduction from baseline in the median percentage of days with reflux symptoms (91 to 43% in the 64 adolescents with non-erosive disease and 85 to 16% in the 23 adolescents with erosive esophagitis, P ≤ 0.001 for each comparison). At week 8, mucosal healing had occurred in 95% (21 of 22) of those with erosive esophagitis. Treatment-related adverse events were reported by 19% of patients with non-erosive and 4% of patients with erosive esophagitis. Headache (7%), abdominal pain (5%), nausea (3%) and dizziness (3%) were the most frequently reported adverse events. One patient discontinued treatment early because of dizziness and vomiting. An elevation in mean serum gastrin from baseline (59 pg/mL at pretreatment to 80 pg/mL at final visit) was observed. Conclusion: Lansoprazole 15 mg or 30 mg once daily reduced symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux in adolescents with non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease and erosive esophagitis, respectively. Lansoprazole 30 mg once daily for 8 weeks was effective in healing erosive esophagitis. Both treatment regimens were considered safe.
