Comparison between Rapid Test and ELISA in Cytomegalovirus Detection among Pregnant Women in Kirkuk City
Authors: Muayad Zena , Youvuz Mohammed 
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Cytomegalovirus is member of herpes virus that has a phospholipid-rich membrane, capsids, and a network of DNA. As this virus affects many living cell in the body, people are at risk of acquiring it especially immuno-compromised patients like pregnant women and can transmit it to their fetus therefore the diagnosis of the virus is important for monitoring the infection in mother and prevent transition to the fetus. Aims: The purpose of this study is to compare two common methods for Cytomegalovirus diagnosis. Materials and method: CMV Rapid Test was performed to detect IgG & IgM Abs specific for CMV using CTK BIOTECH/USA kit. Second method was ELISA technique that performed for further validation using Bioactive/Germany kit. CBC test also performed to compare (WBC, Hb. Lymphocyte, platelet) count between patients and control groups. Results: By rapid test, all patients tested positive for IgG, however only (10.16%) of 128 patients tested positive for CMV IgM, according to ELISA, which shows that the number of IgM positivity was only (8.59%). According to complete blood count we indicated that there were significant differences between patients and control regarding to WBC count and lymphocyte count with P value (0.0001) and (0.0001) respectively. No significant differences observed in hemoglobin concentration and platelet level between two groups. Conclusions: Viral infections require accurate diagnosis to minimize negative outcomes and the results showed that Cytomegalovirus diagnosis in pregnant women via ELISA test is more accurate, specific and sensitive than rapid test.

This research is entitled "Analysis Politeness Strategy of Prabowo Subianto Speech on the CSIS Indonesia Event". This research aims to analyze the employment of politeness strategies by Prabowo Subianto in his speech at the CSIS Indonesia event using Brown and Levinson's theory as the analytical framework. The research design used was descriptive qualitative method. The results of this study identified four types of politeness strategies: 31 utterances using Bald on Record strategy (43.06%), 29 utterances using Positive Politeness strategy (40.28%), 6 utterances using Negative Politeness strategy (8.33%), and 6 utterances using Off Record strategy (8.33%). Based on the analysis, Bald on Record (43.06%) is the most dominant type of politeness strategy. From this finding, it can be concluded that Prabowo Subianto often expressed This shows that Prabowo tends to speak directly and firmly without paying much attention to aspects of gentleness or adjustments to the listener. This approach suggests that Prabowo Subianto may have a tendency to emphasize clarity and decision in his communication. He may prefer to deliver his message directly without much "playing around" with words or cloaking his intentions with various politeness strategies.

Study of the Value of π Probability Sampling by Testing Hypothesis and Experimentally
Authors: Kulkarni Sanjay B , Kulkarni Sandeep 
Published: May 2024

This study evaluated the value of π using the Monte Carlo Simulation Method and compared the results with experimental values. The experimental value of π was determined by considering a unit circle |z| = 1 centered at the origin, inscribed within a square with vertices (0, 0), (1, 0), (1, 1), and (0, 1). Points were randomly generated within the square, where points satisfying |z| ≤ 1 lay within the circle, and those with |z| ≥ 1 lay outside the circle but within the square. By selecting large numbers of random pairs and determining their positions relative to the circle, the ratio π = 4n/N was calculated, where N was the total number of points and n was the number of points within the circle. Larger sample sizes yielded values of π closer to the true value. The distribution of Monte Carlo Simulation results, using 20 triplets of random numbers, was examined with non-parametric tests such as Friedman’s Test. Ranks were assigned to the 20 random numbers row-wise for each triplet. The null hypothesis, asserting that all triplets had identical effects, was tested and showed significant differences at the 5% level. Additionally, the distribution was tested for goodness of fit using a Chi-Square Test at a 5% significance level. Results indicated that the triplets of random numbers conformed to the expected distribution.

THE INFLUENCE INTOLERANCE OF UNCERTAINTY ON CYBERCHONDRIA IN EARLY ADULT INTERNET USERS
Authors: Fadila Novi , Dwatra Free Dirga 
Published: May 2024

This study aims to determine the effect of intolerance of uncertainty on cyberchondria in early adult internet users. This research uses quantitative methods. The sample collection technique used in this study was purposive sampling. This study had a sample of 138 early adults in Padang City. The data collection method in this study used a questionnaire distributed via a google form link. The research instrument used is the cyberchondria scale that has been compiled which refers to the Cyberchondria Severity Scale (CSS) which is made based on the dimensions described by Mcelroy & Shevlin (2014) which were then modified by Aulia (2019) to become 30 items with a reliability of 0.899 and uses an uncertainty intolerance scale that refers to the IUS-12 (Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale- Short Form) which is made based on aspects that have been developed by Carleton et al. (2007) as many as 12 items, which were then adapted into Indonesian by Bagaskara (2009) and have a reliability of 0.735. The results of data analysis obtained using simple linear regression analysis show that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted with an r-square value of 0.189 which indicates that there is a positive influence between intolerance of uncertainty on cyberchondria The higher the intolerance of uncertainty felt by individuals, the higher the cyberchondria in individuals, and vice versa the lower the intolerance of uncertainty in individuals, the lower the cyberchndria that occurs in individuals.
La fugueuse chez Anne Hébert et chez Suzanne Jacob
Authors: Gryzbowska Aleksandra 
Published: May 2024

« La fugueuse chez Anne Hébert et Suzanne Jacob » a pour but de présenter les correspondances dans la construction des personnages féminins chez les deux grandes romancières québécoises. La fugueuse, figure centrale très aboutie chez Jacob, trouve peut-être, en partie, sa source dans l’oeuvre d’Hébert, par exemple chez les personnages d’Élisabeth d’Aulnières, de Catherine ( « Le printemps de Catherine » ), surtout de Lydie (L’enfant chargé de songes), et chez les deux principaux personnages féminins du Premier Jardin. Des parallèles dans la construction du personnage de la fugueuse dans les derniers romans d’Hébert et dans les premières oeuvres de Jacob sont présentés en trois volets : le portrait onomastique ou la femme-scrabble, le portrait relationnel ou la femme excessive, et le portrait spatial ou l’héroïne labyrinthique.
Stratégies des jeunes femmes dans un milieu régional égyptien pour affirmer leur individualité vis-à-vis du discours dominant sur le mariage
Authors: Haroun Amal 
Published: May 2024

Cet article aborde les stratégies des jeunes femmes progressistes dans un milieu régional égyptien, âgées de 20 à 40 ans, de formation universitaire, pour affirmer leur individualité vis-à-vis du discours conservateur dominant sur le mariage. Comment ces femmes, qui ont grandi dans un monde globalisé et un contexte local secoué par des mutations politiques et sociales et ayant un capital social considérable, un potentiel d’autonomie économique et de mobilité sociale, envisagent-elles le discours dominant, voulant que toute femme doive se marier ?

De quelle manière les dynamiques autour du mariage, qui reste central et représente la seule forme légitime du couple en Égypte, mènent-elles les vies des jeunes femmes ? Comment gèrent-elles les pressions sociales relatives au mariage et leurs aspirations individualistes, dans un contexte de chevauchement des dynamiques globales et locales ? Cet article avance que ces stratégies ont pour but de négocier un espace d’individualité qui repousse les bases du discours dominant sur le mariage dans une société où les élites politiques attachent la stabilité du pays à des représentations traditionnelles de ce que doit être la famille.

Published: May 2024

Background: Rapid growth in the use of alcohol home delivery services, combined with increases in home drinking during COVID-19, raises potential concerns around increased consumption. This paper aims to assess the relationship between alcohol home delivery use and consumption across levels of COVID-19 restrictions in New South Wales (NSW), Australia.
Methods: A 5-wave longitudinal survey of 586 NSW residents (Mage = 35; 65.3% female) conveniently sampled across 2020. Home delivery usage and the number of daily standard drinks consumed during a typical week were assessed with a survey. Logistic regression models were estimated within each wave to identify predictors of home delivery usage, and hierarchical logistic mixed effects models were estimated to predict purchase source (home delivery vs other) at the occasion level.
Results: From baseline, alcohol home delivery use rose significantly during lockdown (20% to 34%), with respondents using home delivery during lockdown and the partial re-opening wave consuming significantly more than those who were not. Use of home delivery was significantly higher during lockdown and the partial re-opening amongst people who drank more heavily, with respondents aged 36 or older more likely to use delivery services in all waves except lockdown.
Conclusions: Alcohol home delivery usage increased during lockdown suggesting restrictions impeding on-premise consumption coincided with an increase in home delivery. Associations between persons who drink more heavily and use of home delivery during lockdown and the partial re-opening suggest a subset of the population that may be at increased risk of harmful consumption when accessing alcohol delivery services.
Analysis of DNA Replication in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by Two‐Dimensional and Pulsed‐Field Gel Electrophoresis
Authors: Ide Satoru , Kobayashi Takehiko 
Published: December 2010

AbstractTwo methods to analyze DNA replication in budding yeast are described here. One is two‐dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis, which has been used to analyze replication intermediates in yeast. The other method is pulsed‐field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) that monitors the replication status of a chromosome. These are convenient and easy, and they do not require specialized equipment. Curr.

Highly Ordered Nanometer‐Scale Chemical and Protein Patterns by Binary Colloidal Crystal Lithography Combined with Plasma Polymerization

Published: December 2010

AbstractSurfaces with micro‐ and nanometer‐scale patterns have many potential applications, particularly in lifescience. This article reports on a versatile, straightforward, and inexpensive approach for the creation of chemical patterns using fabricated binary colloid crystals, consisting of small and large particles, as masks for the deposition of an amino‐functionalised ultrathin film by plasma polymerization. After removal of the binary colloidal mask, the characterization techniques [scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM)] reveal a surface contrast that depicts an ability of the small particles to allow diffusion of the plasma to the substrate. A plasma‐polymer film is created under the small particles and the region of substrate in direct contact with the large particle remains uncoated. Numerous types of patterns and feature heights can be produced with good fidelity over areas of several cm2 by appropriate tuning of the binary colloid crystal mask morphology and the plasma‐polymer deposition time. Finally, the amine groups of the patterned surface are used for covalent grafting poly(ethylene glycol) propionaldehyde (PEG‐PALD) by reductive amination under conditions of reduced solubility to produce a patterned surface for directed adsorption of protein. AFM investigations show that the proteins are preferentially attached to the nanometer‐scale regions of the pattern without PEG‐PALD.

AbstractBiocompatible‐ingestible electronic circuits and capsules for medical diagnosis and monitoring are currently based on traditional silicon technology. Organic electronics has huge potential for developing biodegradable, biocompatible, bioresorbable, or even metabolizable products. An ideal pathway for such electronic devices involves fabrication with materials from nature, or materials found in common commodity products. Transistors with an operational voltage as low as 4–5 V, a source drain current of up to 0.5 μA and an on‐off ratio of 3–5 orders of magnitude have been fabricated with such materials. This work comprises steps towards environmentally safe devices in low‐cost, large volume, disposable or throwaway electronic applications, such as in food packaging, plastic bags, and disposable dishware. In addition, there is significant potential to use such electronic items in biomedical implants.
Ionic Nanosystems: Large Space‐Charge Effects in a Nanostructured Proton Conductor (Adv. Funct. Mater. 23/2010)
Authors: Haverkate Lucas A. , Chan Wing K. , Mulder Fokko M. 
Published: December 2010

AbstractDecreasing the dimensions of heterogeneous mixtures of ionic conductors towards the nanoscale results in ionic conduction enhancements, caused by the increased influence of the interfacial space‐charge regions. For a composite of TiO2 anatase and solid acid CsHSO4, the strong enhancement of the ionic conductivity at the nanoscale also can be assigned to this space‐charge effect. Surprisingly high hydrogen concentrations in the order of 1021 cm−3 in TiO2 are measured, which means that about 10% of the available sites for H+ ions are filled on average. Such high concentrations require a specific elaboration of the space‐charge model that is explicitly performed here, by taking account of the large occupation numbers on the exhaustible sites. It is shown that ionic defects with negative formation enthalpy reach extremely high concentrations near the interfaces and throughout the material. By performing first‐principles density functional theory calculations, it is found that proton insertion from CsHSO4 into the TiO2 particles is preferred compared to neutral hydrogen atom insertion and indeed that the formation enthalpy is negative. Moreover, the average proton fractions in TiO2, estimated by the theoretical ionic density profiles, are in good agreement with the experimental observations.

Published: December 2010

AbstractThe Simpson–Golabi–Behmel syndrome (SGBS) is an overgrowth condition comprising “coarseness” of facial traits, supernumerary nipples, congenital heart defects, polydactyly and fingernail hypoplasia, and an increased risk of neonatal death and later neoplasia. Psychomotor development is usually normal. The syndrome is caused by mutation/deletion of the X‐linked gene GPC3. We describe a new case of SGBS, that led to the discovery of an extended family segregating a GPC3 mutation and, ultimately, of an affected relative forgotten, but not lost, in an anatomical museum, where he was classified as a macrosomic newborn, who was born probably around 1940 and died neonatally of unknown cause. This baby boy becomes the oldest case of SGBS on record. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Female philopatry and dominance patterns in wild geladas
Authors: le Roux Aliza , Beehner Jacinta C. , Bergman Thore J. 
Published: December 2010

AbstractCercopithecines have a highly conserved social structure with strong female bonds and stable, maternally inherited linear dominance hierarchies. This system has been ascribed to the pervasiveness of female philopatry within the typical multi‐male, multi‐female social groups. We examined the relationship between female philopatry, dominance hierarchies, and reproduction in geladas (Theropithecus gelada), a species with an unusual multi‐leveled society. During a 4‐year field study on a wild population in the Simien Mountains National Park, Ethiopia, we observed 14 units across two bands of geladas that underwent a number of events, such as male takeovers and female deaths, which could potentially disrupt female relationships and unit structure. First, we corroborate earlier reports that gelada females are natally philopatric: we observed no interunit migrations, and the female mortality rate was comparable to that of philopatric baboons (suggesting all female disappearances were indeed deaths). Second, contrary to previous reports, data from this long‐term study show that geladas exhibit the linear and stable dominance hierarchies typical of other Cercopithecines. Moreover, female ranks appear to be maternally inherited. Third, we found no evidence that alpha females aggressively target the lowest ranking individuals, nor did rank confer clear reproductive advantages to dominant females within our 4‐year observation period. As such, geladas fit the allostatic load model [Goymann & Wingfield, Animal Behaviour 67:591–602, 2004]. Our study confirms the importance of female philopatry in the kin‐based Cercopithecine dominance system. Am. J. Primatol. 73:422–430, 2011. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Effect of the cross‐linking process on the electrical resistivity and shape‐memory behavior of cross‐linked carbon black filled ethylene‐octene copolymer

Published: December 2010

AbstractThe electrical resistance of carbon black (CB) filled ethylene‐octene copolymer (EOC) was monitored during the compression molding step by means of conductivity sensors. It increases strongly during the cross‐linking process due to the de‐agglomeration of CB aggregates. After completion of cross‐linking reaction CB aggregates reagglomerate causing a decay of resistance. The electrically stimulated shape‐memory (SM) behavior was found to be strongly dependent on the extent of electrical resistivity and the rigidity of CB network, which is formed during compounding and subsequent cross‐linking process. The effect of amount of peroxide and cross‐linking conditions like time and temperature on resistivity and the related SM behavior was characterized. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
