Sleep and health during the first 1000 nights
Authors:   , Harskamp-Ginkel Margreet Willie
Published: September 2023

Given the importance of sleep for both our physical and mental health, developing good sleep health is pivotal. In the introductory chapter 1 we describe that the development of sleep starts during the period between conception and a child’s second birthday, in this thesis referred to as the first 1000 nights of life. In this period fetal brain structures develop, as is the child’s sleep-wake rhythm. The environment of the child is known to influence adaptive responses and potential epigenetic mechanisms. This was first hypothesized by Barker and is also known as 'fetal programming'. Emergent themes in fetal programming are effects of psychological or physiological stress during the first 1000 nights. Sleep health during this period could be one of these stressors and we therefore studied the association with later childhood sleep and health.
The overall theme of this thesis is a public health perspective on sleep during the first 1000 nights. The axiom is that developing good sleeping habits early on in life, may result in a life-long benefit, not only for sleep itself, but also for cognitive and behavioral development and cardio-metabolic health.
The first research question was ‘What is the association of sleep during early stages of life (between conception and the second birthday) and childhood cardio-metabolic health outcomes (age 4-12 years)?’
The second research question was ‘What are potential determinants and parental health care needs regarding sleep in early life (between conception and the second birthday)?’
Our main conclusions are:
A. Sleep and health of mother and child have a bi-directional relationship and are affected by multiple environmental factors during the first 1000 nights.
B. Infant problematic sleep is common and often coincides with excessive infant crying as well as mental complaints in parents.
C. Problematic sleep seems persistent from infancy to childhood.
Our findings support the hypothesis of fetal programming in the development of sleep health. Fetal programming is affected by the in-utero and early life environment. We found environmental determinants during pregnancy and infancy that had a strong association with later childhood sleep problems.

Our final conclusion is that infant sleep problems are common and often coincide with excessive infant crying as well as mental complaints in parents. During the first 1000 nights, sleep and health of mother and child have a bi-directional relationship. Sleep problems can originate from various environmental factors during the first 1000 nights and can be persistent from infancy to later childhood. Health care support should, in addition to alleviating infant crying or sleep problems, also address parental wellbeing.
On the estimation of parameters in observation-driven time series models
Authors:   , van Brummelen Janneke Neeltje
Published: September 2023

This thesis concerns parameter estimation for observation-driven time-series models.
In particular, the focus is on deriving asymptotic properties of (quasi) maximum likelihood estimators for the parameters of (quasi) score-driven models.
Before moving to this novel research, Chapter 2 offers an accessible introduction to score-driven models, with a focus on time-varying conditional location and scale models.

Then, Chapter 3 establishes conditions for consistency and asymptotic normality of the maximum likelihood estimator for a general class of stationary score-driven models, which is the first main contribution of the thesis.
The asymptotic results are global and are also derived under potential misspecification. Importantly, the conditions are formulated in terms of the basic building blocks of score-driven models, which allows anyone to apply them to their own score-driven models of choice.

The other main contribution is the proposal of two novel unit-root non-stationary (quasi) score-driven location models and the derivation of the asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators of these models in Chapters 4 and 5.
Thus far, no rigorous asymptotic theory was available for non-stationary score-driven models of this type.
In particular, Chapter 4 concerns a univariate score-driven location model, with a unit root location process, and with innovations from a mixture of normals distribution. This distribution offers considerable flexibility, and has not been considered for score-driven models before.
We establish consistency and asymptotic normality of the maximum likelihood estimator, and examine the model's filtering ability in a Monte Carlo simulation study and an application to electricity spot prices.
Chapter 5 considers a multivariate model where the observations are driven by a common univariate quasi score-driven location process with unit root dynamics. We propose a two-step estimation procedure, where the loading coefficients are estimated in the first step and the remaining parameters are estimated in the second step through quasi maximum likelihood estimation. We establish consistency of this two-step estimator and use a Monte Carlo simulation study to investigate its small-sample properties. To illustrate the model's use in practice, we consider an empirical application to diesel prices in different markets.

Green Bonds and Sustainable Fixed Income Investments: Performance and Risk Analysis
Authors: Sharma Dhruv Nath
Published: September 2023

In recent years, the landscape of finance has experienced a remarkable transformation, marked by the evolution of sustainable finance from a niche investment approach into a mainstream consideration for investors of all backgrounds. This shift has been propelled by several key factors: 1. Transition from Niche to Mainstream: Sustainable finance has shifted from being a specialized and relatively obscure investment strategy to becoming a central theme in the investment world. This transformation reflects changing investor attitudes and expectations. 2. Increased Awareness of Environmental and Social Challenges: A fundamental driver of this transformation is the growing global awareness of pressing environmental and social challenges. These issues encompass a broad spectrum, from climate change and pollution to social inequality and resource scarcity. This heightened awareness has led to a collective realization that addressing these challenges is not just a matter of ethics but also makes economic sense. Inaction on these fronts can lead to substantial financial risks and liabilities. 3. Recognition of Financial Opportunities: Investors have come to realize that sustainable investments are not a trade-off between financial returns and doing good for society and the environment. Sustainable finance has shown that aligning investments with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles can lead to competitive financial performance. This recognition has challenged the conventional notion that prioritizing sustainability in investments might come at the cost of profitability. 4. Emergence of Green Bonds: Within the broader realm of sustainable finance, green bonds have emerged as a notable and distinct financial instrument that encapsulates the ethos of sustainability.

Factors contributing to physical gender based violence reported at Ndola Central Hospital, Ndola, Zambia: a case control study
Authors: Ngonga Z.
Published: September 2023

Objectives: To determine socio-demographic factors associated with gender-based violence (GBV).

Design: A case control study was conducted at Ndola Central Hospital Casualty Department. The study was conducted from December 2015 to July 2016. A sample size of 85 cases and 85 controls was calculatedafter a pilot study of 30 cases and 30 controls was conducted. Out of the pilot study 60% of people who drink alcohol reported that they experienced GBV- physical assault while 27.6% of people who drink alcohol reported that they did not experience GBV- physical assault. Based on these outcomes the sample size was calculated using Stat. Calc in Epi-Info version 7 with the power at 80%.

Main outcomes: From the adjusted odds ratio alcohol drinking increases the likelihood of GBV- physical assault by 2.25 times. Those living in high density areas are 2.23 times more at risk of GBV physical assault. Females are 2.27 times at risk of GBV physical assault unlike males.

Measures: The dependant (outcome) variable is GBVphysical assault. The independent (predictor) variables are; alcohol abuse, income level, area of residence and gender. These were chosen because these are some of the risk factors of GBV-physical according to literature.

Results: Out of the 179 patients who participated in the study, 93(52%) reported to have experienced GBVphysical assault regardless of age. Morefemales 67(68.4%) experienced GBV physical assault than males 26(32.1%). More than 2/3 of those who reported alcohol drinking 51(69.9%) experienced GBV-physical assault and only 40(40.0%) among those who did not report the outcome. Those from high density 82(56.9%) reported having experienced more GBV physical assault compared to 5(23.8%) of those from low density areas.

Conclusion: There is need for healthy life styles to be encouraged such as control of alcohol consumption in order to reduce GBV – physical assault due to alcohol intake. Sensitization campaigns and educational programmesought to be intensified in order to address factors that make females more prone to GBV-physical assault than males. Living in a high density area is a risk factor of GBV- physical assault as compared to living in a low density area. Therefore more sensitization programmes should be put in place at a societal level to reduce GBV – physical assault in such communities.
Determinants of optimal adherence to antiretroviral therapy among people living with HIV/AIDS registered for antiretroviral therapy in Zimbabwe
Authors: Gonah L , Mukwirimba A
Published: September 2023

Background: Successful Antiretroviral therapy (ART) was shown to rely on high levels of medication adherence to enable maximum and durable viral suppression for the prolongation of life among people living with HIV/AIDS.

Objective: The study sought to determine individual and environmental factors that influence optimal adherence to antiretroviral therapy among HIV/AIDS patients registered at Morgester hospital.

Materials and methods: The study was a cross sectional study. Out of 515 registered patients, a sample of 330 HIV/AIDS patients on ART meeting the eligibility criteria was obtained from people seeking services from the Opportunistic Infection (OI) clinic at Morgenster hospital. Adherence was determined using the self-report 9 Item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS) with scores ranging from 0 to 13 where a score of 11 corresponds to 95% level dose adherence.

Results: The level of drug adherence (corresponding to 95% dose adherence) was 65% (n=215) among the study participants. Distance from the health institution, medication side effects and adolescence were associated with non-adherence (p = 0.029, p= 0.019 and p= 0.001 respectively). Demographic variables including sex, marital status, employment status and level of education had no association with non-adherence. Access to health education on the benefits and risks of non-adherence, and participation in ART support groups were seen to promote ART adherence among the study participants.

Conclusions: More research and interventions are required focusing on reasons and challenges of nonadherence to ART among adolescent HIV/AIDS patients, especially the social determinants of health surrounding ART adherence.
Determining treatment levels of comorbid psychiatric conditions in people with epilepsy attending selected local clinics in Lusaka, Zambia
Authors: Venevivi LB , Mbewe EK , Paul R
Published: September 2023

Background: Psychiatric co-morbidities occur more frequently in patients with epilepsy but are usually undertreated. Treatment of these disorders is key to reducing mortality via suicide and other causes. This study determined the levels of treatment of psychiatric comorbidities at clinics in Lusaka, Zambia.

Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study at 5 randomly selected clinics within Lusaka with 397 respondents. These were patients attending epilepsy clinic for over 6 months, aged 18years and older. The Brief psychiatric rating scale (BPRS) and a self-designed questionnaire for demographics and medical history were administered to determine how many needed treatment compared to those that were on actually treatment.

Results: Of the 397 participants enrolled, only 14(3.5%) had psychiatric disorders already diagnosed by the local staff and yet screening with BPRS showed that up to 158(39.8%) had comorbidity symptoms. 13(92.8%) of those pre-diagnosed with psychiatric comorbidity were on treatment. There was a significant association between male gender and psychiatry diagnosis (p=0.017).

Conclusion: The detection and treatment rate of psychiatric comorbidity in epilepsy stands at 3.5% of the epilepsy population and comorbidity prevalence at about 39%. Less than 10% of those eligible receive treatment.  This low treatment rate may contribute to poor treatment outcomes.

Authors: Nyaywa Mutale , Mutati G Chipalo , Chintu C
Published: September 2023

Objectives: To establish the presentation, management and short-term outcomes of retinoblastoma treatment at UTH from January 2006- December 2012. treatment outcomes 6 months after initiation of treatment at The statistical analyses were performed using the statistical package SPSS version 20.

Method: This was a retrospective case series study of the modes of presentation, management of retinoblastoma and UTH from January 2006- December 2012. The data was collected from registers for the eye unit inpatient and outpatient, histopathology laboratory, pediatric oncology department as well as patients' files. The data collected included demographics, clinical presentation, histopathology reports, treatment modalities, and treatment outcome at 6 months after initiation of treatment.

Results: There were 57 African participants in the study of which 26 (45.6%) were males and 31 (54.4%) were females. The youngest was 0.75 months old while the oldest was 132 month old. The average age of the participants was 31.1 months old (with a standard deviation of 21.96). The average time lag from the onset of symptoms to treatment at UTH was 9.27 months with a minimum of one month and a maximum of 36 months. 71.2% had unilateral retinoblastoma, 28.8% had bilateral retinoblastoma however no trilateral retinoblastoma was observed. The most common presentations were proptosis (47.3%), leukocoria (36.8%), phthisis bulbi (4%), hyphema (2%), orbital cellulitis (1%) and uveitis (1%). The common treatment regimens were enucleation and chemotherapy (28.8%), exenteration and  chemotherapy (15%), enucleation, chemotherapy and radiotherapy (3.4%). Moreover, 8.5% had enucleation only whilst 3.4% had exenteration, chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment regimen. In the study, the treatment outcomes 6 months post initiation of treatment were abandoned treatment 17.5%, while 49.2% died and 33.3% were alive.

Conclusion: The common presentation was proptosis (47.3%) and leukocoria (36.8%). The most common treatment outcome was death, alive followed by abandonment treatment. Treatment was completed in 22% of the participants. Delay in diagnosis of retinoblastoma remains a challenge as seen in the study by the high mean lag time and late presentation.

Inclusive development is becoming a mainstream development which is being promoted by many parties. This departs from the fact that there are still many people who are still marginalized in the development process, one of which is disability. Disability issues are always a hot topic to be discussed not only in developing countries but also in developed countries. This is because groups of persons with disabilities are a minority group whose fulfillment of their rights by the state often goes unnoticed. In order to support inclusive development, CSR PT PLN Indonesia Power Kamojang POMU conducted an empowerment program for Budidaya Jamur Bisabilitas (Bujali). The group that was empowered was the mushroom cultivation farmers group in Sudi Village, Ibun District. This group consists of persons with disabilities and non-disabilities who are pre-prosperous people. This research uses descriptive qualitative method. This research was conducted with the basic objective to find out how social inclusion is carried out in community empowerment programs. Data collection was carried out by means of literature studies, observations and interviews with groups, the CSR team of PT PLN Indonesia Power Kamojang POMU and drawing conclusions. The concept used is the concept of inclusive development and CSR empowerment. The results of the study from this study based on field data of the empowerment program carried out by CSR PT PLN Indonesia Power Kamojang POMU for disabled groups are inclusive empowerment patterns that lead to capacity building, fulfilling the community's economy, community participation and renewal or innovation developed in home industry commodities (industrial houses) that encourage group sustainability and independence.

Background

Incidence and mortality of colorectal carcinoma (CRC) worldwide varies widely (10 times). Ninety percent colorectal malignancies are adenocarcinomas. Expression SOX2 is associated with high tumor grade, invasion, metastasis as well as a prognostic predictor of colorectal adenocarcinoma. Objective: Analyze the association of SOX2 immunohistochemistry expression with histopathological grading, intramural and extramural vascular invasion in colorectal adenocarcinoma.

Methods

Analytical study using a cross-sectional approach on 35 samples from the Anatomic Pathology Unit, H. Adam Malik Hospital, Medan. Immunohistochemical staining of SOX2 mouse monoclonal antibody (Bioassay Technology Laboratory) was performed and expression assessed as low (0-3) and high (4-6). Differences in expression were analyzed by Chi-square and Mann-Whitney correlation tests.

Results

The most patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma were at age of 51-60 years (34.3%), male sex was more common (60%), the most tumor location was in the rectum (40%), the most depth of invasion was T3 (74.3%) , low grade was more common (60%), more intramural vascular invasion was found (40%), and the highest expression of SOX2 was found to high expression which mostly in the nucleus and cytoplasm (84.6%) There was no significant association between SOX2 expression and histopathological grading (p= 0.884) and there was no significant association between SOX2 expression and vascular invasion, both intramural and extramural (p= 0.390).

Published: September 2023

Background

The presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) has been widely explored as one of the factors that can affect the success of immunotherapy in various cancers. This study aims to investigate the TILs in various types of thyroid carcinoma (TC) and its association with the aggressive histopathological type compared to the less aggressive histopathological type of TC.

Methods

The population covered by this retrospective study was TCs diagnosed at the Department of Anatomic Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia/Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National Central General Hospital, period 2015-2019. The research sample was divided into group of TCs with aggressive histopathological type and less aggressive histopathological type with a total of 25 samples for each group. TILs was calculated in 10 high power fields (HPF) with 400 kali magnification. The analyses were conducted using Mann-Whitney and Kruskal Wallis test.

Results

TILs count was found with a median value of 43 (3-660) in the aggressive histopathological group and 36 (9-387) in the less aggressive histopathological group (p:0.96, CI:95%). The highest TILs was found in anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) and papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) with anaplastic components. TILs count was also found with a median value of 17.5 (3-75) in male and 48 (9-660) in female (p:0.02, CI:95%).

Conclusion

There was no significant association between TILs and histopathological types of TC (aggressive and less aggressive). However, there is a tendency for high TILs in ATC and PTC with anaplastic components. There is also a significant difference in TILs between male and female gender.
