Urinary incontinence among pregnant Turkish women

Objective: To investigate effect on quality of life and to determine the frequency and risk factors for urinary incontinence (UI) among pregnant Turkish women. Methodology: This was a descriptive and cross-sectional study which enrolled 502 pregnant women. Results: It was found that 40.4% of pregnant women reported urinary incontinence. 78.8% of pregnant women with UI had stress UI, 14.8% of them had mixed type UI and 6.4% of them had urge UI. 12.9% of pregnant women were aware of pelvic floor muscle exercises. It was found that 73.5% of pregnants feel discomfort, 75.3% of them think that their daily routines are affected, 69.3% think of getting assistance from a health institution, 52.6% of them avoid taking enough liquid with the anxiety of UI. Risk factors of UI among pregnant women were older age (odds ratio [OR] = 1.088, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.001-1.183) and spontaneous birth (OR=3.938, 95%CI 1.899-8.167). Conclusion: Urinary Incontinence is seen as a common health problem among pregnant Turkish women. Also, it has negative effect on their quality of life. Health care professionals should investigate pregnant women for UI in antenatal care and they should inform them about pelvic floor muscle exercises.
Relationships between breeding waterbird abundance, diversity, and clear water status after the restoration of two shallow nutrient‐rich Danish lakes

Breeding waterbird communities have suffered globally from the effects of anthropogenic changes in water quality (especially nutrient enrichment) in recent decades, but few studies have demonstrated the positive effects of restorative actions. Annual breeding waterbird surveys in the period 1977–2005 at two restored southern Danish lake basins (combining nutrient load reduction and biomanipulation) showed an up to five‐fold increase in abundance, and considerable changes in species richness and diversity, following restoration to clear water status in both lakes. Parallel surveys at a third lake, which retained clear water quality throughout, offering a form of natural ‘control', showed no such changes over the same time period. Consistent relationships between breeding waterbird abundance, species richness, and diversity with measures of water clarity (Secchi disc depth, chlorophyll a, and suspended matter) suggest that water clarity mainly drives the relationship; inverse relationships between these measures and total nitrogen and phosphorus were less consistent than for water clarity. The results suggest that an improvement in water clarity plays a key role in restoring breeding waterbird communities and suggest that breeding waterbirds can be indicators of the success of lake restoration projects, but more studies are needed to confirm their wider utility under a variety of conditions.
MINAT PENGGUNAAN ELEKTRONIK BANKING BANK SWASTA DI YOGYAKARTA

ABSTRACT Information systems and technology are increasingly developing. These developments have been utilized by banks to facilitate financial transactions by embarrassing innovation and implementing notional transactions, one of which is by implementing electronic banking. Research related to the analysis of factors that influence behavioral intention shows inconsistent results. Research related to the analysis of factors that influence interest and the level of using electronic private banks in Jakarta has never been done. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the interest and level of customer use using electronic banking services at Private Banks in Yogyakarta. The study was conducted with quantitative methods. Sampling is done by using an purposive sampling technique. Data is collected by a survey using a questionnaire. The study was conducted on 100 private bank customers in Yogyakarta who use electronic banking on November 2019. Data were analyzed using SEM-PLS analysis. The results show that effort expectations, perceived service quality, and hedonic motivation have a significant and positive effect on behavioral intention to use e-banking. Behavioral intention to use e-banking has a significant and positive effect on the level of e-banking usage. Performance expectations and social influence have no significant effect on behavioral intention to use e-banking. Keywords: behavioral intention, elektronic banking, intention to use, level of e-banking usage
Interpreting Facial Expression: A Challenging Study Using Existing Video

The study aims to investigate the challenging situation that might be faced when using an existing video to interpret facial expressions within the context of a classroom situation. Facial expressions, as part of non-verbal communication, are a crucial means of sending messages between the teacher and students. Most studies assess facial expressions using static rather than moving images. One way to examine facial expressions deriving from the interactions between teacher and students, which are always represented as moving images, can be carried out using existing video. This study utilizes literature to investigate the challenges in assessing facial expression using existing video and will contribute to the scope of knowledge on this topic. Keywords—interpreting; facial expressions; existing video; study literature

The author delivers a practical manual on a topic some perceive as overly technical by presenting the content in a very comprehensible manner. From the very first pages, this guide enables educators unfamiliar with the concept of a corpus to feel confident about exploring its various technological tools and methods.
Brief Communication Romiplostim for delayed platelet recovery and secondary thrombocytopenia following allogeneic stem cell transplantation

Delayed recovery of platelet count post allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) has been associated with worse transplant outcomes. Thrombopoietic agents have been successfully used in immune mediated thrombocytopenia or thrombocytopenia from bone marrow failure syndromes; however, the experience regarding their use after allo-HSCT is limited. Here we report on the safety and efficacy of romiplostim used in 3 consecutive patients with thrombocytopenia post allogeneic transplantation. Two patients had prolonged platelet recovery due to poor graft function while one had secondary failure of platelet recovery, likely immune mediated, post transplantation. Successful use of such agents post-transplant may improve platelet recovery, decrease rates of complications and potentially improve outcomes.
The journey to engaged customer community: Evidential social CRM maturity model in Twitter

We investigate the company use of Twitter as a platform for social customer relations management (SCRM) to find that message type and follower growth follow an identifiable maturity model. Studying longitudinal Twitter data from 73 Standard and Poor's companies, we find that companies map into one of two distinct maturity stages as reflected in the content of company‐generated messages. The first maturity stage consists of branding, where the focus is on customer acquisition up to a certain volume, at the expense of their engagement. The second is social care, where the focus is on retaining customers and increased engagement. We further find that companies have relatively little control over their maturity stage and that investing in social care in the first stage, aiming to increase engagement, is not effective. Proper understanding and recognition of the Twitter SCRM maturity model will allow companies to assess their methods and processes according to SCRM best practices.

Bioprospecting Halotolerant Bacteria for Useful and Promising Antimicrobial Compounds and Enzyme Inhibitors to Improve Quality and Shelf-Life of Agaricus Bisporus

Tyrosinase is the main enzyme responsible for enzymatic browning of fruits post-harvest and melanogenesis in mammals, an undesirable phenomenon. This encouraged researchers to seek potent tyrosinase inhibitors for application in the food and cosmetics industries. Despite an increased knowledge of tyrosinase inhibitors from plants and synthetic sources in the past few years, inhibitors of microbial origin are under-explored. Thus, this article surveys tyrosinase inhibitors produced by microorganisms and hence, serves as an updated database of tyrosinase inhibitors from microbial sources.

Characteristics of Obstetric Fistula in Kaduna Metropolis

Introduction: Obstetric fistula is prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa. In Nigeria, it is more prevalent in the North compared to the South; and mainly rural. Urbanization has had significant impact on global health. Rapid urbanization is predicted to intensify in developing countries where fistula is endemic, but the pattern of presentation of obstetric fistula in urban areas is yet to be described. Objective: The objective of the study was to find out if obstetric fistula exists in Kaduna metropolis, and if it does, to explore the pattern of presentation. Methodology: Women living with obstetric fistula were mobilized from Kaduna metropolis for free screening and repair. They were screened using direct dye and three swab tests. Consenting patients with confirmed obstetric fistula were included in the study. Their socio-demographic and clinical data were captured using Microsoft Access and analyzed with Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 17. Results: All twenty three consenting women confirmed to have obstetric fistula lived within Kaduna city and had phone contacts. A depreciating proportion of primiparous women presented with obstetric fistula in Kaduna metropolis as multiparous women were in majority. The women also appeared to have higher height and weight measures and majority of them had access to fistula repair. They married early and were mostly uneducated and illiterate. Conclusion: Obstetric fistula afflicts women living in Kaduna metropolis. Women living with fistula in Kaduna metropolis appear to present different socio-demographic features, suggesting an emerging trend related to urbanization.
Pathological patterns of endometrial curettage samples in women referred with abnormal uterine bleeding: A descriptive study

Introduction: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is among the most complex gynecological problems, especially during the middle and old age. The aim of this study was to assess the pathological findings in endometrial curettage samples of abnormal uterine bleeding and the risk factors associated with them. Methods: In our cross-sectional study, we included all the referring women with AUB complaint to Birjand’s Vali-e-Asr hospital gynecology clinic from August 2014 to February 2014. The data were collected via interviews and dilatation and curettage (D&C) pathologically evaluated. Results: A total of 152 patients were enrolled. The mean age of participants was 44.09 years. The most common manifestations were menorrhagia, metrorrhagia, and menometrorrhagia with frequencies of 66 (43.4%), 53 (34.9%), and 160 (10.5%), respectively. The most frequent pathological findings were normal pattern (51.7%, n=78), polyps and abnormal endometrial proliferation (29.1%, n=44), and hyperplasia (14.6%, n=22). No significant association was found between the pathologic results and age, bleeding on admission, number of pregnancies, contraception procedure, occupation, history of endometrial hyperplasia, history of ovarian cysts, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, hyperprolactinemia, hypertension, and diabetes. Conclusions: Overall, the most common causes of AUB involve non-organic causes, that is, natural causes although curettage is still an acceptable method for assessment of AUB, given the importance of AUB in diagnosis of endometrial cancers in women over 40 years old.
Speed Control of Segmented PMLSM Based on Improved SMC and Speed Compensation Model

A segmented control model including an improved sliding model control (SMC) and a speed compensation model is applied into the speed control of a segmented permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM) to improve the speed precision during the drive process and reduce the speed loss during the switch process. During the drive process of segmented PMLSM, an improved SMC with a disturbance observer (DOB) is used to suppress the speed fluctuation, and a DOB is added to suppress the oscillation caused by the switch part of SMC. During the switch process of a segmented PMLSM, a speed compensation model based on the position feedback of permanent magnet (PM) actuator is designed to reduce the speed loss of a segmented PMLSM, so the speed of PM actuator could be kept at the reference speed when the PM actuator absolutely quits the stator windings. Finally, the simulation and experiment are conducted to verify the control performances of proposed control model, the results indicate that the speed fluctuation of PM actuator and the speed loss during the switch process are mitigated. Therefore, this proposed control model could satisfy requirements of high-stability and celerity of segmented PMLSM in a long-distance automatic transportation system.
Patient Safety Culture in Primary Health Care Muscat, Oman

Background: Patient safety in primary care is an emerging field of research with a growing evidence base in western countries but little has been explored in the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries (GCC) including the Sultanate of Oman. This study aimed to review the literature on the safety culture and patient safety measures used globally to inform the development of safety culture among health care workers in primary care with a particular focus on the Middle East. Methods: A systematic review of the literature. Searches were undertaken using Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL and Scopus from the year 2000 to 2014. Terms defining safety culture were combined with terms identifying patient safety and primary care. Results: The database searches identified 3072 papers that were screened for inclusion in the review. After the screening and verification, data were extracted from 28 papers that described safety culture in primary care. The global distribution of the articles is as follows: the Netherlands (7), the United States (5), Germany (4), the United Kingdom (1), Australia, Canada and Brazil (two for each country), and with one each from Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. The characteristics of the included studies were grouped under the following themes: safety culture in primary care, incident reporting, safety climate and adverse events. The most common theme from 2011 onwards was the assessment of safety culture in primary care (13 studies, 46%). The most commonly used safety culture assessment tool is the Hospital survey on patient safety culture (HSOPSC) which has been used in developing countries in the Middle East. Conclusions: This systematic review reveals that the most important first step is the assessment of safety culture in primary care which will provide a basic understanding to safety-related perceptions of health care providers. The HSOPSC has been commonly used in Kuwait, Turkey, and Iran.
Preparation and Evaluation of Rosuvastatin Calcium Nanosuspension and Solid Dispersion Tablets by Wet Granulation and Direct Compression Techniques using Tamarind Gum as a Binder

The current investigation was attempted to enhance the solubility and dissolution of rosuvastatin calcium through nanosuspension and solid dispersion techniques using tamarind gum as a binder. Rosuvastatin calcium nanosuspension and solid dispersion were prepared using high shear homogenisation and melt fusion techniques, respectively. Various pre-compression tests were performed for the powder blends. Finally, tablets containing these nanosuspensions and solid dispersions were evaluated for various post compression quality control parameters. The nanosuspension had a particle size of 453.3±23.6 nm with a neutral surface charge. Using the lyophilised nanosuspensions and solid dispersion, tablets were prepared by wet granulation and direct compression techniques. The results of in vitro drug release studies in pH 6.8 buffer showed enhanced solubility and release of rosuvastatin calcium from the tablets containing nanosuspension and solid dispersion in 60 min, when compared to the control tablets and a marketed tablet. Additionally, the property of tamarind gum to enhance the release of drug was also observed.
Early Intervention for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in New Zealand: What Children Get and What Parents Want

ABSTRACT Research suggests that access to early intervention can improve a range of outcomes for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, little is known about the type and amount of intervention that is typically available to young children with ASD in the New Zealand community. There is also limited information about parent demand for types or amounts of early intervention services in New Zealand. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate parent reported use of, and demand for, early intervention services for young children with ASD in New Zealand. This information was gained from an online questionnaire which was completed by 64 parents/caregivers of preschool aged children with ASD living in New Zealand. It was reported that, on average, children were receiving 2 types of intervention and parents would like them to receive an additional 5 types. On average, children were reportedly receiving 8.7 hours of intervention per month and parents would like them to receive an additional 37 hours per month. The most common intervention that children were receiving was speech and language therapy. These findings suggest that parents would like a wider variety and more hours of educational early interventions than they are currently able to access.
Environmental and Management Considerations for Adopting the Halophyte Salicornia bigelovii Torr. as a Sustainable Seawater-Irrigated Crop.

Salicornia bigelovii Torr. is a potential new crop for coastal and saline lands, because of the oil content of its seeds, its properties as fresh vegetable, forage, and other uses. As a true halophyte, it can grow with seawater irrigation. The aim of this study was to determine the phenology and water requirements of Salicornia as a new plant resource in growing areas for salt-tolerant crops in coastal and saline lands, and elucidate scenarios of sustainability about these issues. Water requirements were estimated in experimental plots on the coastal line and fulfilled with drip irrigation connected to seawater aquaculture discharge ponds, 30 m from the sea. The recorded phenological events were germination, flowering, fructification, maturation, and physiological death. Results reflect the difficulty to adopt it as a new crop because of its long-life cycle, around nine months, contrasting with the life cycle of common crops, from three to four months. Irrigation needs reached a depth of 240 cm, significantly exceeding those of conventional crops. Such limitations are highlighted, but also its potential use as a biofilter of coastal aquaculture effluents, being a productive target-biomass, feasible to be used as a dual-purpose use of water and energy required in aquaculture farms.
Effect of Protocol Manipulation for Determining Maximal Aerobic Power on a Treadmill and Cycle Ergometer: A Brief Review

ABSTRACT THE DEVELOPMENT OF AEROBIC FITNESS IS CONSIDERED IMPORTANT FOR HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE. IN THIS SENSE, EVALUATION OF MAXIMAL AEROBIC POWER (MAP) BECOMES RELEVANT, NOT ONLY TO CLASSIFY AEROBIC FITNESS, BUT ALSO TO OBTAIN IMPORTANT INDICES RELATED TO MONITORING AND PRESCRIPTION OF EXERCISE, ESPECIALLY HIGH-INTENSITY INTERMITTENT EXERCISE. HOWEVER, IN THE LITERATURE, THERE ARE A VARIETY OF PROTOCOLS THAT MANIPULATE DIFFERENT VARIABLES, SUCH AS INITIAL LOAD, STAGE DURATION, INCREMENT LOAD, AND INCREMENTS BASED ON RATING OF PERCEIVED EFFORT. THEREFORE, THE AIMS OF THE PRESENT PAPER ARE TO ANALYZE STUDIES THAT MANIPULATE THE TEST PROTOCOLS AND THE EFFECTS ON INDICES RELATED TO MAP.
The co-location of innovation and production in clusters

ABSTRACT This paper quantifies the extent of co-location of innovation and production for industry clusters with varying knowledge intensity. If input-output, knowledge, and skill linkages are interdependent and geographically bounded, then we would expect innovation and production to be co-located in regional clusters. However, theory predicts that the degree of agglomeration benefits associated with co-location may vary across economic activities with different knowledge intensity. Using data from the U.S. Cluster Mapping Project, I develop measures of the co-location of innovation and production for 27 industry clusters, examining patterns across regions and over time (1998–2015) in the United States. I find that there is a significant co-location of innovation and production for many clusters, especially for those with higher knowledge intensity. This paper focuses on the Information Technology and Analytical Instruments cluster and the Automotive cluster to illustrate the co-location measures and the micro-geography of innovation and production.
