Effect of Postpartum Lifestyle Interventions on Weight Loss, Smoking Cessation, and Prevention of Smoking Relapse: A Systematic Review

Postpartum lifestyle interventions are recommended for women after pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, and/or gestational diabetes, since they are at increased cardiovascular risk. To identify potential intervention strategies to reduce this risk, a systematic review of the literature is presented on the effectiveness of postpartum lifestyle interventions aimed at weight loss, smoking cessation, and smoking relapse prevention. The main characteristics of these postpartum lifestyle interventions are briefly described. The PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, PsychInfo, and Cinahl databases were searched for studies on the effects of postpartum lifestyle interventions on weight loss, and smoking cessation or prevention of smoking relapse, initiated for up to 1 year postpartum. No studies on the effectiveness of postpartum lifestyle interventions after the aforementioned specific pregnancy complications were found. However, 21 studies are included that describe existing postpartum lifestyle interventions, which were applied to unselected (on the basis of pregnancy complications) postpartum women. Six of 8 weight loss interventions, 4 of 5 smoking cessation interventions, and 4 of 8 smoking relapse prevention interventions were effective. Individually tailored counseling, group counseling sessions, and use of diaries or other correspondence materials were shown to be effective. Currently, postpartum lifestyle interventions tailored specifically for women who experienced the pregnancy complications are lacking. While awaiting their development, it seems reasonable to utilize existing lifestyle interventions shown to be effective in unselected postpartum women.After completion of this educational activity, the obstetrician/gynecologist should be better able to: counsel patients on how to apply existing postpartum lifestyle intervention strategies aimed at weight loss, smoking cessation, and smoking relapse prevention to lower future cardiovascular risk; and educate postpartum women who have experienced preeclampsia, intra-uterine growth restriction, and/or gestational diabetes about their increased cardiovascular risk later in life.Obstetricians & Gynecologists, Family Physicians.
Ion kinetics in Ar/H2 cold plasmas: the relevance of ArH+

The recent discovery of ArH+ in the interstellar medium has awakened the interest in the chemistry of this ion. In this work, the ion-molecule kinetics of cold plasmas of Ar/H2 is investigated in glow discharges spanning the whole range of [H2]/([H2]+[Ar]) proportions for two pressures, 1.5 and 8 Pa. Ion concentrations are determined by mass spectrometry, and electron temperatures and densities, with Langmuir probes. A kinetic model is used for the interpretation of the results. The selection of experimental conditions evinces relevant changes with plasma pressure in the ion distributions dependence with the H2 fraction, particularly for the major ions: Ar+, ArH+ and H3+. At 1.5 Pa, ArH+ prevails for a wide interval of H2 fractions: 0.3<[H2]/([H2]+[Ar])<0.7. Nevertheless, a pronounced displacement of the ArH+ maximum towards the lowest H2 fractions is observed at 8 Pa, in detriment of Ar+, which becomes restricted to very small [H2]/([H2]+[Ar]) ratios, whereas H3+ becomes dominant for all [H2]/([H2]+[Ar]) > 0.1. The analysis of the data with the kinetic model allows the identification of the sources and sinks of the major ions over the whole range of experimental conditions sampled. Two key factors turn out to be responsible for the different ion distributions observed: the electron temperature, which determines the rate of Ar+ formation and thus of ArH+, and the equilibrium ArH+ + H2 ⇄ H3+ + Ar, which can be strongly dependent of the degree of vibrational excitation of H3+. The results are discussed and compared with previously published data on other Ar/H2 plasmas.
Study on Accuracy Affected by the Proficiency of Body Measurement and the Characters of Points Related

Body measurement plays an important role in clothing manufacturing, especially in advanced clothing customization. [ The purpose of this paper is not only to offer some approaches to testing the size collected, but also to make sure that the accuracy of measurements are satisfied with clothing made. In this paper, ANOVA and orthogonal experimental are seen as mathematical model to analyze the accuracy of data measured by clothing made. Three factors selected to explore this question are surveyor (factor A), proficiency of work (factor B) and characters of points related to body measurement (factor C).This model can be used to evaluate the different effects on every factor alone, and to find some factors on which have a significant influence. According to the result, both factor B and factor C have significant influence on the accuracy. The creativity in this paper is making use of orthogonal experiment and ANOVA to find and test the factors related to the accuracy.

Effect of vine foliar treatments on the varietal aroma of Monastrell wines

The effects of four vine treatments, comprising the application of eugenol and guaiacol (individually or as a mixture) or whiskey lactones on the concentration of glycosidically bound aroma precursors, determined as glycosyl glucose content by HPLC-IR, in Monastrell grapes and their wines were studied. The impact of treatments on the free varietal wine aroma determined by SBSE-GC-MS and descriptive analysis after alcoholic and malolactic fermentations and six months of ageing were also determined. A synergistic effect was observed between the eugenol and guaiacol on the glycosidically bound aroma precursor fraction. The rate of release of such aroma precursors was time and treatment dependent. The impact on wines varietal aroma at the end of the alcoholic fermentation was reduced by treatments, whereas the opposite effect was observed in the following samplings. At a sensory level, the wood/oak notes were appreciated in all wines; however, the typicity of the Monastrell variety was especially enhanced at the end of the malolactic fermentation, in the wines from whiskey lactone treatment.
Microwaves and particle accelerators: A fundamental link

Summary form only given. John Cockcroft's splitting of the atom and Ernest Lawrence's invention of the cyclotron in the first half of the twentieth century ushered in the grand era of ever higher energy particle accelerators to probe deeper into matter. It also forged a link, bonding scientific discovery with technological innovation that continues today in the twenty first century. The development of radar and high power vacuum electronics, especially microwave power tubes like the magnetrons and the klystrons in the pre-second world war era, was instrumental in the rapid development of circular and linear charged particle accelerators in the second half of the twentieth century. We had harnessed the powerful microwave radio-frequency sources from few tens of MHz to up to 90 GHz spanning L-band to W-band frequencies. Simultaneously in the second half of the twentieth century, lasers began to offer very first opportunities of controlling charged particles at smaller resolutions on the scale of wavelengths of visible light. We also witnessed in this period the emergence of the photon and neutron sciences driven by accelerators built-by-design producing tailored and ultra-bright pulses of bright photons and neutrons to probe structure and function of matter from aggregate to individual molecular and atomic scales in unexplored territories in material and life sciences. As we enter the twenty first century, the race for ever higher energies, brightness and luminosity to probe atto-metric and atto-second domains of the ultra small structures and ultra-fast processes continues. These developments depend crucially on yet further advancements in the production and control of high power and high frequency microwaves and light sources, often intricately coupled in their operation to the high energy beams themselves. We give a glimpse of the recent developments and innovations in the electromagnetic production and control of charged particle beams in the service of science and society.
La génesis de la Economía de la Salud en Kenneth Arrow (1963)

Kenneth J. Arrow is one of the most prominent economists of the twentieth century. His concerns about competitive equilibrium and optimality under uncertainty conditions led him to publish what would be recognized as the seminal article on Health Economics, “Uncertainty and the welfare economics of medical care”. This essay pays tribute to Arrow’s work and discusses the intellectual foundations of the analysis of medical benefits in a welfare economics context, the validity of Arrow’s original approach and its main implications. Here, the validity of Arrow’s central hypothesis on the impossibility of reaching an efficient resource allocation through the market is defended, mainly because of the uncertainty associated to disease incidence. Also, implications of asymmetric information, moral hazard and social norms are discussed from Arrow’s perspective, as well as the roles of state and market.

Using CARR model and GARCH model to forecast volatility of the stock index: Evidence from China's Shanghai stock market

Generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity model (henceforth GARCH model) is a successful model for modeling and forecasting the volatility of financial market. But GARCH models use the closing price data of trading days to calculate the return on assets, without considering the asset price changes during the trading day. Especially when asset prices change greatly during the trading day, the volatility estimated by GARCH model is lower than real volatility. The conditional autoregressive range model (henceforth CARR model) use the range data, which is the difference between the highest asset price and lowest asset price during the trading day to study the volatility of asset prices. WCARR model can make full use of asset price change information during the trading day. We use the daily data of China's Shanghai composite index over the period 2002 to 2012 as the sample data and employ CARR model and GARCH model to model the volatility of Shanghai stock market in this paper. The empirical results show that both WCARR model and GARCH model do a great job in fitting the volatility of stock market. We use MZ regression equation, RMSE and MAE to compare the forecasting ability of WCARR model and GARCH-t model. The empirical results show that WCARR model is better than traditional GARCH model both in in-sample forecasting and out-of-sample forecasting.

High Temperature and Salinity Enhance Soil Nitrogen Mineralization in a Tidal Freshwater Marsh

Soil nitrogen (N) mineralization in wetlands is sensitive to various environmental factors. To compare the effects of salinity and temperature on N mineralization, wetland soils from a tidal freshwater marsh locating in the Yellow River Delta was incubated over a 48-d anaerobic incubation period under four salinity concentrations (0, 10, 20 and 35‰) and four temperature levels (10, 20, 30 and 40°C). The results suggested that accumulated ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N) increased with increasing incubation time under all salinity concentrations. Higher temperatures and salinities significantly enhanced soil N mineralization except for a short-term (≈10 days) inhibiting effect found under 35‰ salinity. The incubation time, temperature, salinity and their interactions exhibited significant effects on N mineralization (P<0.001) except the interactive effect of salinity and temperature (P>0.05), while temperature exhibited the greatest effect (P<0.001). Meanwhile, N mineralization processes were simulated using both an effective accumulated temperature model and a one-pool model. Both models fit well with the simulation of soil N mineralization process in the coastal freshwater wetlands under a range of 30 to 40°C (R2 = 0.88-0.99, P<0.01). Our results indicated that an enhanced NH4+-N release with increasing temperature and salinity deriving from the projected global warming could have profound effects on nutrient cycling in coastal wetland ecosystems.
New opportunities to enhance or extend (mobile) web survey data and get better insights

The expansion of the Internet and the development of a range of new active and passive measurement tools, particularly on mobile devices, present exciting opportunities for survey researchers, such as visual or geolocation data capture. Using these new measurement opportunities could reduce respondent burden, improve data quality, and extend measurement into new domains, allowing to answer questions that could not be answered so far and to improve the decisions of key actors (e.g. government). This could open the door to a whole range of completely groundbreaking research, providing new knowledge, and affecting key aspects of our societies.
While many people speak about these ideas, very little research has implemented such possibilities, and even less has assessed the data quality associated with such approaches. Thus, there is a huge need for further research in this area.
The main goal of this project is to investigate how some of these new measurement opportunities that the growing presence of mobile devices made possible can help scientists and practitioners to get more accurate and/or more complete insights, by addressing three crucial research questions:
1. Can we improve (mobile) web survey data quality by using new measurement opportunities?
2. Can we replace part of the (mobile) web survey data by using new measurement opportunities?
3. Can we achieve a more complete picture of the reality by combining new measurement opportunities with (mobile) web survey data? 
This project will focus on four new measurement opportunities: voice input, visual data, metered data, and in-the-moment surveys. It will present theoretical and practical outputs, developing the technical tools for making these measurements possible and easy to implement in (mobile) web surveys, as well as a general framework that can be used by practitioners and researchers. The methods developed will be illustrated by answering key applied questions in different areas (e.g. health or politics).
Palaeogeographic reconstructions of the natural environment in southeast Belarus during the Bathonian-Oxfordian ages

Palaeogeographic reconstructions of the natural environments in Southeast Belarus during the Bathonian-Oxfordian were carried out using the method of conjugate analysis of facies, sedimentology, paleontology, and geochemistry. The results show the existence of lagoon environments at the end of the Bathonian with a gradually growing sea gulf in the Early Callovian and general marine regime developed by the end of Early Callovian that continued during the Middle-Late Callovian and Oxfordian. Transgression of the sea and intervention of marine faunas occurred in three directions: from Western Europe, Ukraine, and Central Russia. Mollusc and ostracod faunas had mixed characteristics with dominance of the Tethyan elements over the Arctic ones. In the Early Oxfordian the Eastern Paleobasin of Belarus had a stable connection with the Middle Russian Sea.

A Case Study for Selecting a Proper Protection Method in Rapid Transit Underground Construction

Since the metropolitan rapid transit construction is mainly shield tunneling and deep excavation, it is important to select proper interruptive protection method to prevent the impact of its construction on the existing structures and vice versa. This research first determines the criteria and sub-criteria to be used in the initial assessment framework for the protection of the existing structures and tunneling excavation, and then it establishes the final assessing framework by using Delphi method. Furthermore, the Analytic Hierarchical Process is used to determine the relative weights of elements of each level in the hierarchical structure of assessment framework. Thereafter, an interruptive protection method scoring table can be established. Finally, the selection process is presented by using a study case.
