“Accessibility”: A new narrative of healthcare services for people living with HIV in the capital city of Indonesia

Background The progress of the fight against HIV is highlighted by significant change. HIV of the past is different from HIV of the present. Healthcare services have played an essential role in achieving the optimal goals needed to end the HIV epidemic. However, people living with HIV and those at risk of catching it (PLWH) often misunderstand the rapid growth of HIV healthcare service options. Objective This study aimed to explore the experiences of PLWH in the healthcare services featured in this study. Methods A qualitative phenomenological approach was used. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in 2017 with 12 PLWH who engaged with healthcare services in Jakarta, Indonesia, by using a purposive sampling technique. Semi-structured questions were asked which related to their experiences of using the services. Stevick Colaizzi Keen method was used to extract the thematic analysis of the study. Results The study developed four essential themes of PLWH healthcare use. They were accessibility, availability at all healthcare levels, comprehensiveness of service, and affordability. Conclusion Providing accessible healthcare services is considered essential by PLWH. It is also pivotal to helping people feel positive about the community-related healthcare services on offer. Nurse-led HIV services must maintain this progress by continuously evaluating the quality-of-service outcomes and promoting the accessibility of the services to the broader population.
THREE DIMENSIONAL PARITY FORTCAM BASED FPGA FOR ERROR DETECTION AND CORRECTION

- Delicate mistakes are a significant concern for current electronic circuits and, specifically, for recollections. A delicate blunder can change the substance of the pieces put away in a memory and cause a framework disappointment. Ternary content addressable memories (TCAMs) are generally utilized in network gadgets to execute bundle characterization. They are utilized, for instance, for bundle sending.TCAMs are commonly implemented as standalone devices or as an intellectual property block that is integrated on networking application-specific integrated circuits. On the other hand, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) do not include TCAM blocks. In any case, the adaptability of FPGAs makes them appealing for SDN executions, and most FPGA sellers give improvement packs to SDN. Those need to help TCAM usefulness and, hence, there is a need to imitate TCAMs utilizing the rationale blocks accessible in the FPGA. As of late, various plans to imitate TCAMs on FPGAs have been proposed. Some of them take advantage of the large number of memory blocks available inside modern FPGAs to use them to implement TCAMs. The recollections can be secured with an equality check to identify mistakes or with a blunder revision code to address them, yet this requires extra memory bits per word. For detecting MBUs in the configuration frames of the FPGA, we propose a technique, namely, interleaved n dimensional (InD) parity. Furthermore, by carefully dividing the frames into several clusters, the proposed technique can detect and correct an
VALUE JUDGMENT: AN ENQUIRY INTO THEORETICAL WELFARE ECONOMICS

The welfare economists have been confronted with the controversies of interpersonal comparisons or of value judgments for a long period of time. Following Pareto most of the conventional theory of welfare economics rested on the assumed value judgment that if one person was better off and no one was worse off welfare was increased. But without the knowledge of utility or welfare function none can be sure that satisfying those conditions is better than violating them. Moreover Paretian value judgment did not apply to a situation where some persons were benefited and some were harmed by some policy change. Professor Amartya Kumar Sen in his article “Interpersonal Aggregation and Partial Comparability”, Econometrica 38, May1970, has made an attempt to provide a fairly rigorous presentation of a possible framework of interpersonal comparability. In this paper I have found out how far Prof. Sen’s partial comparability analysis suits our practical problem of evaluation of alternative social states in respect of social welfare. At the same time I have tried to point out unexplored part of the problems of measurement of social welfare and comparability. In course of my exploration I have kept it in my mind that both welfare and non-welfare information constitute the appropriate basis of social welfare
Susceptibility of Anopheles Mosquitoes to Deltamethrin and Bendiocarb Insecticides in Nasarawa Local Government Area, Nasarawa State Nigeria

Anopheles mosquito’s resistance to insecticides has been one of the major challenges in eradicating malaria. This study was carried out to determine the susceptibility status of Anopheles mosquitoes to Deltamethrin and Bendiocarb in some communities of Nasarawa Local Government Area of Nasarawa State for four months. The research was carried out at the insectary laboratory of Nasarawa State University Keffi. Center for Disease Control (CDC) bioassay bottle and WHO impregnated papers were used to test the susceptibility of Anopheles mosquitoes. The result shows that Anopheles mosquitoes exposed to Bendiocarb and Deltamethrin using CDC bioassay bottles were susceptible at 15mins, there was no mortality recorded from the control at 30 minutes of exposure. Anopheles mosquitoes exposed to WHO impregnated paper of Bendiocarb and Deltamethrin were susceptible at 60 minutes, mortality was recorded at 24h post exposure time from the control. χ2analysis of Bendiocarb and Deltamethrin insecticides exposed to CDC bioassay bottles was statistically insignificant p>0.05, while χ2 analysis of Bendiocarb and Deltamethrin exposed to WHO impregnated papers was also insignificant p>0.05. These results indicated susceptibility of Anopheles mosquitoes to Bendiocarb and Deltamethrin for the two methods of susceptibility test. The use of these synthetic insecticides in the control of malaria should be encouraged and made available.
THE APPLICATION oF TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT STANDARDS IN EGYPTIAN PHYSIOTHERAPY COLLEGES

Published online: June 2021 Abstract: Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the extent to which TQM standards applied to Egyptian physiotherapy colleges from the point of view of their administrative leadership, to determine whether there is difference depending on the type of faculty (government or private) and to determine the correlation between the number of experience years and the extent of TQM application. Methods: The study sample consisted of 12 administrative leaders (deans and vice deans) from 7 faculties. The study tool was a questionnaire consisted of 55 items with established validity and reliability; the questionnaire was divided into 7 fields, reflecting the total quality standards in education. Statistical analysis was performed using the means and standard deviations of the areas of the questionnaire, independent sample t tests and using Pearson's correlation coefficient. Results: although the overall average of the means of the scores was high, there is statistically significant difference between the means of the degree of application of TQM in the faculties of physiotherapy in favor of government colleges. Additionally, the results showed no correlation between the number of experience years of the study sample and the grades of their answers on the question axes. Conclusion: it is highly recommended to implement comprehensive quality programs in education while paying special attention to private colleges.
Tissue biomolecular and microstructure profiles in optical colorectal cancer delineation

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the 3rd most common and the 2nd most deadly type of cancer worldwide. Understanding the biochemical and microstructural aspects of carcinogenesis is a critical step towards developing new technologies for accurate CRC detection. To date, optical detection through analyzing tissue chromophore concentrations and scattering parameters has been mostly limited to chromophores in the visible region and analytical light diffusion models. In this study, tissue parameters were extracted by fitting diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS) within the range 350–1900 nm based on reflectance values from a look-up table built using Monte Carlo simulations of light propagation in tissues. This analysis was combined with machine learning models to estimate parameter thresholds leading to best differentiation between mucosa and tumor tissues based on almost 3000 DRS recorded from fresh ex vivo tissue samples from 47 subjects. DRS spectra were measured with a probe for superficial tissue and another for slightly deeper tissue layers. By using the classification and regression tree algorithm, the most important parameters for CRC detection were the total lipid content (f lipid), the reduced scattering amplitude (α′), and the Mie scattering power (b Mie). Successful classification with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve higher than 90% was achieved. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the potential tissue biomolecule concentrations and scattering properties in superficial and deeper tissue layers for CRC detection in the luminal wall. This may have important clinical applications for the rapid diagnosis of colorectal neoplasia.
Improving the crashworthiness of space frame based vehicles using composites

This research paper details the investigation into the capability of increasing the crashworthiness of a space frame based vehicle, by the implementation of a modern composite reinforcement technique. This study involves using quasi-static axial compression testing, which is performed on standard structural square and round tubular sample elements of a space frame and specimens of same dimensions which have been reinforced by an exterior cladding of three and five layers of prepreg composite carbon fibre. Each of these samples are presented in two different lengths of 100mm and 200mm, these lengths are chosen due to being longer and shorter than the critical length of the chosen type of tubing. This is to polarise between local and global buckling and is used to represent longer and shorter structural elements used as part of a space frame, which will undergo global and local buckling failure mode during a collision, respectively. Results from testing are then used to compare characteristics such as the energy absorbency, specific energy absorbency, maximum load and overall failure mode by processing the force / displacement data derived from the quasi-static compression testing, overall observation of testing and dissection and inspection of tested specimen samples. In addition to real life mechanical testing, FEA and first principle calculations have been utilised to maintain a scientific and critical approach. Upon analysis of data derived from mechanical testing, it was evident that the composite reinforcement technique played a very large role in increasing energy absorbency and specific energy absorbency of the specimen samples, the most notable being the longer sections which underwent global buckling in their plain, unreinforced state. The composite reinforcement enabled these longer sections to fail in a more desirable local buckling mode, increasing the SEA by up to 703%.
Comparison of clinical profile of leptospirosis patients during post flood and non-post flood periods

Background: Leptospirosis is a zoonotic infection with high mortality rates. The incidence of leptospirosis is more during floods. The aim of the study was to find the difference in clinical profile of leptospirosis during post flood and non-post flood periods.Methods: This was a cross sectional observational study comparing the clinical profile of leptospirosis patients admitted in Government Medical College Ernakulam, Kerala during the post flood period of 2018 with that of non-post flood period. The data with respect to clinical features and investigations were retrieved from the hospital records.Results: Out of the 42 patients studied 15 were from the post flood period and the rest 27 patients were from the non-post flood period. The mean age in the post flood group was 40 years and that in the non-post flood group 43 years. Myalgia, icterus and calf tenderness was significantly higher in the post flood group. The mean platelet count was significantly lower in the non-post flood period (p value=0.011). Mean serum urea and total bilirubin were significantly higher in the post flood group compared to non-post flood group (p value=0.001). Cardiac complications were seen only among the post flood group.Conclusions: The clinical profile and complications were different in leptospirosis patients during post flood and non-post flood periods. These findings help the treating physicians to formulate different approaches in treating patients during the post flood and non-post flood period.
SEMANTIC SEGMENTATION OF MOBILE LASER SCANNING POINT CLOUDS WITH LONG SHORT-TERM MEMORY NETWORKS: PRELIMINARY RESULTS

Although point clouds are characterized as a type of unstructured data, timestamp attribute can structure point clouds into scanlines and shape them into a time signal. The present work studies the transformation of the street point cloud into a time signal based on the Z component for the semantic segmentation using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. The experiment was conducted on the point cloud of a real case study. Several training sessions were performed changing the Level of Detail of the classification (coarse level with 3 classes and fine level with 11 classes), two levels of network depth and the use of weighting for the improvement of classes with low number of points. The results showed high accuracy, reaching at best 97.3% in the classification with 3 classes (ground, buildings, and objects) and 95.7% with 11 classes. The distribution of the success rates was not the same for all classes. The classes with the highest number of points obtained better results than the others. The application of weighting improved the classes with few points at the expense of the classes with more points. Increasing the number of hidden layers was shown as a preferable alternative to weighting. Given the high success rates and a behaviour of the LSTM consistent with other Neural Networks in point cloud processing, it is concluded that the LSTM is a feasible alternative for the semantic segmentation of point clouds transformed into time signals.
PREVALENCE OF SILENT CARDIAC ISCHEMIA IN TYPE II DIABETES MELLITUS

Objectives: To determine the frequency of silent cardiac ischemia in type II diabetes mellitus patients presenting to tertiary care facility. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted from 20 October 2017 to 20 April 2018 at Department of Medicine Jinnah Hospital Lahore. After a detailed history, measurement of height, blood pressure, weight, fasting blood sugar, body mass index of 237 patients were recorded, and electrocardiography (ECG) was done before and after exercise tolerance testing (ETT). Changes in ECG were assessed and person labeled as having silent cardiac ischemia or not depending on the outcome of the ECG. Results: Mean age was 54.9 ± 5.9 (range: 45 – 63) years. There were 144 male patients and 93 female patients The mean duration of type II diabetes mellitus in the study population was 10.0 ± 2.6 (range: 6 – 15) years. The frequency of silent cardiac ischemia was found to be 45.1%. Increasing age, prolonged duration of diabetes mellitus, history of smoking and hypertension, and increased body mass index were significantly related to silent cardiac ischemia (p-value< 0.05). Conclusion: Silent cardiac is quite prevalent in our population that demands urgent efforts to diagnose this condition earlier for better future outcomes.
Impact of Trans-Boundary Pollution (PM-2.5) on the Air Quality of Dhaka City in Bangladesh

Clean air is a basic need of human beings for its existence. In recent years, air pollution in city areas, especially in Dhaka and Chittagong, has become a significant threat to health and well-being. Dhaka is found to suffer a high level of pollution during the dry season, which is from November to April, especially for Particulate Matter, PM2.5, concentration. From December to February this situation is found to be the worst crossing the WHO guidelines and National Ambient Air Quality Standard. Bangladesh is surrounded by countries with the fastest-growing economy like India and China who use coal-burning technologies for different purposes such as producing power and running mills. They release the lion’s share of the air pollutants in South Asia and these pollutants easily get transported to neighboring countries. This is known as transboundary pollution. This study investigates the contribution of transboundary transportation of PM-2.5 in the air quality of Dhaka city. Ninety-Six hours of air mass back trajectories were computed using the Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT-4) model and those trajectories were grouped into 6 clusters. Probability calculation showed that Dhaka city air has a higher probability of getting pollutants from long-range sources when air masses traveled through North, West, and North-West direction covering the North Eastern and North-Western territories of India, Nepal, and its neighboring areas. Concentration Weighted Trajectory (CWT) analysis also supported that those areas could be potential sources of getting unwanted PM-2.5 on our atmosphere.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus risk assessment among doctors in Ondo state

Introduction Diabetes Mellitus (DM) has become a disease of public health importance in Nigeria. Early identification of DM risk is important in the reduction of this disease burden. This study assessed ten-year risk of developing type 2 DM among some medical doctors in Ondo State. Methods This was a cross-sectional study that assessed ten-year risk of developing type 2 DM among some doctors using the Finland Diabetic Risk Score form. Known diabetics were excluded from the study. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), blood pressure and total DM risk score were determined for each participant. Results One hundred and ninety-two doctors participated in the study with a male: female ratio of 1.3:1. Majority (92.2%) were below 55 years, 22 (11.5%) were obese, 32(16.7%) had central obesity, 46(24%) reported physical inactivity, 49(25.5%) had family history of DM, 141(73.4%) do not take fruits and vegetables regularly. Forty-three (22.4%) were found to have elevated blood pressure while 6(3.1%) had elevated blood glucose. Fifty-seven (29.7%) of the participants had increased ten-year DM risk. Significant predictors of increase DM risk were age ≥ 45 years (AOR:9.08; CI 3.13–26.33; p = <0.001); BMI ≥25kg/m2 (AOR:11.41; CI:4.14–31.45; p = <0.001); family history of DM (AOR:9.93; CI:3.25–30.39; p = <0.001); abdominal obesity (AOR:6.66; CI:2.08–21.29; p= < 0.001); and infrequent dietary intake of fruits and vegetable (AOR:3.11;CI:1.03:9.37: p = 0.04) Conclusion There was increased 10-year DM risk in about 30% of the participants. Lifestyle modification such as physical activity and regular consumption of fruits and vegetables should be encouraged among doctors.
Impact of Store Environment, Product Display and Promotional Activities on Impulsive Buying Behavior: Moderating the Role of Income

This study is based on applied research and investigates the effect of some vital retail marketing variables such as store environment, product display & promotional activities on consumers impulsive buying behavior. Within this relationship, the moderating role of income is also tested. Although previously there are several studies associated with the topic, but the subject matter has remained a persistent topic of interest to the marketers and firms alike. To gather the data, survey technique was employed, and the data was collected through secondary authentic sources from consumers visiting selected prominent retail shops from the study area. Thus, the ever-evolving consumers’ demand and the nature of the subject it is legitimate to consider the study as one of the pervasive in nature as the study is potent in increase of knowledge in the area of business as well as in academia. Moreover, as with all secondary data studies this study is also supplemented with some limitation as the data collected from developing country like Pakistan is not coherent with the other economies although the value of paper has not been overshadowed and this can be used for applicative reasoning. Similarly, the sample size for the study is 200 respondents and AMOS, SEM, CFA, SPSS & SMART PLS softwares are used for data analysis. As the major reason for the application of the software is theory building approach associated with the study. Relatedly, the paper is supported by descriptive as well as inferential analysis in order to make findings of the study potent and reliable. The use of the software indicated that there is a relationship between store environment, product display & promotional activity. Similarly, income plays a strong moderating role between the relationship under study.
