Indonesia is vigorously implementing a healthy community movement and participate in efforts to improve the hygiene and health of Indonesia's population that has the largest population of 46.497.175 million people, due to the fact Indonesia's health profile according to expert health experts in 2010 the average households with category of Clean and Healthy Behavior (PHBS) reached 35.68%. The spearhead of health development for the community through counseling in , health services in schools through the Government's attention to the movement of healthy Society, especially to further optimize School Health Enterprises in Public School expected to be improved, not least in Special School. Implementation of UKS in Special Education Schools certainly requires good management along with the complexity of learners in the Special Education Schools Heterogene type of abnormality (Blind, Deaf, Mental Retardation, Autism, disability, social behavior and Double Handycape), the needs of each level of education from the basic level to the level medium. The management of learning in Special Needs Education the implementation of the UKS program requires entrepreneurial spirit from the principal who is very objective and specific, especially in preparing the program, implement it. The entrepreneurial spirit is built with innovation, working hard, cooperating with related parties such as Puskesmas, Medical team and health experts to UKS program in Special Education schools done and implemented in the Implementation Plan both individual and classical learning. The management of entrepreneurship in West Bandung Special School to improve School Health Enterprises is expected to be a change agent in providing the teaching resources of students in Special Needs Education so as to reduce the number of morbidity, acquire health knowledge, implementing Clean and Healthy Behavior in daily life, although still with the guidance of teachers and parents should be done gradually and continuously so that the community environment can accept their existence without feeling awkward.
Intervenantes et intervenants tiers dans les dynamiques de collaborations école-familles immigrantes-communauté : négociation d’une place à (re)définir

Published: February 2024

Les politiques de plusieurs pays et la recherche reconnaissent la contribution d’intervenantes et d’intervenants tiers pour soutenir le développement de collaborations entre les familles immigrantes et l’école. Néanmoins, il semble que ces intervenantes et intervenants rencontrent certains défis pour se faire une place dans le triptyque école-famille-communauté. Selon une démarche qualitative, cet article propose une métasynthèse à partir de quatre recherches, dont deux ont été conduites au Québec et deux en Suisse. Pour ce faire, les personnes auteures ont réanalysé leurs résultats en ressortant ce qui a trait à la négociation du rôle d’intervenantes et d’intervenants école-familles immigrantes-communauté (IEFIC) à travers les espaces où il se met en oeuvre : à l’école, auprès des familles et dans la communauté. Cet article fait le pari original d’utiliser une typologie construite dans le domaine de la santé pour éclairer des résultats issus du domaine de l’éducation et les trois configurations du rôle des IEFIC que nos analyses ont permis de dégager. Nos résultats laissent croire que, tant en contexte suisse que québécois, la mise en oeuvre du rôle est fortement influencée par la place prise par l’institution scolaire et son fonctionnement, guidé par des cadres et des normes.
« Être soi-même ou s’ajuster au cadre » : le poids de la fatigue raciale pour des personnes noires enseignantes et directrices d’école à Montréal
Authors: Lafortune Gina , Kanouté Fasal 
Published: February 2024

Cet article analyse les expériences de 13 personnes noires occupant des postes de direction et d’enseignement dans des écoles publiques de Montréal. Il vise à comprendre comment la condition de minoritaire influence la carrière enseignante, un domaine où les minorités racisées sont sous-représentées malgré les politiques éducatives ciblant depuis plusieurs décennies l’objectif d’une meilleure représentation de la diversité dans les différents corps d’emploi du monde scolaire. La méthodologie repose sur des entretiens réalisés de février à juillet 2020, période marquée par la pandémie de COVID-19 et la mort de George Floyd. Ces évènements semblent avoir accentué la sensibilité des personnes participantes aux injustices et au racisme dans leur milieu professionnel.
Les témoignages mettent en lumière les défis rencontrés par ces professionnels, notamment le dilemme entre rester fidèle à soi-même ou se conformer aux normes établies. L’article s’appuie sur les théories critiques du racisme pour explorer les stratégies adoptées par ces personnes face aux relations de pouvoir teintées de questions raciales, contribuant ainsi à une meilleure compréhension des obstacles et éventuellement des facteurs d’attraction et de rétention pour les minorités racisées dans l’enseignement.

Epidemiological data about chronic infection with Hepatitis C virus (HCV) are limited in Bulgaria. The aim of this study was to determine the Viremic Rate and the distribution of HCV genotypes in one centre for diagnosis and treatment of chronic liver diseases. Geographic patterns of genotype distribution and associations of genotype with viral load, gender and age were investigated.
Serum samples from 1731 individuals with a positive HCV Antibody Test, collected between 2016 and 2019, were analysed. HCV RNA levels were determined by HCV quantitative RNA real time polymerase chain reaction. Individuals with detectable HCV RNA further underwent HCV genotyping analysis using the Versant HCV Genotype Assay (LiPA) 2.0.
The mean age of all patients was 52.9±15.3 (17–87). Among those, 54.1% were men and 45.9% women. Most patients came from the south-western region of Bulgaria (21.7%). Viral load was proven in 1385 out of 1731 individuals (VR=80%). Genotype 1 (G1) was the predominant genotype (89.8%), followed by G3 (8.5%), G2 (0.9%), G4 (0.6%) and G5 (0.1%). Among individuals with G1, infection with subtype 1b was seen in 77.4% and with subtype 1a in 22.6%. Viral load was not found to be dependent on age or gender. Viral load was higher in patients with G1 compared to G3 ($$p=0.001$$). Finally, patients with G1b were significantly older than patients with G1a ($$p<0.001$$) and G3 ($$p<0.001$$).
VR in the studied population (80%) appears to be higher than the VR reported for Central Europe (73.3%). In Bulgaria, the most prevalent genotype is G1 (89.8%). This is a higher rate in comparison to the observed G1 rate in Central Europe (70%). The second most prevalent genotype is G3 (8.5%), with fewer cases identified than in Central Europe (21%).

The aim of our study was to investigate the efficacy and reproductive outcome after bipolar hysteroscopic resection of intrauterine polyps and submucous myomas in patients with infertility.
A randomized clinical trial was conducted in a total of 181 patients with a history of intrauterine pathology and concomitant infertility problems of which 134 patients were diagnosed with an endometrial polyp and 47 – with a submucous intrauterine fibroid structure. Modern endoscopic methods were used to determine the perioperative and operative behaviour, such as diagnostic hysteroscopy with a 6-mm hysteroscope, as well as a hysteroscopic resection with a 9-mm hysteroscope.
Successful pregnancy rate in the postoperative period was 62.4% as compared to the complete absence of successful pregnancies in the preoperative period. In the group of women with previously diagnosed submucous myomas, 74.4% of women conceived in the postoperative period as a result of the hysteroscopic procedure. As far as patients with a previously diagnosed endometrial polyp were concerned, successful pregnancies were accomplished in 60.4% of women.
Based on the results of the present study, it can be concluded that the elimination of existing intrauterine pathology, especially the one which leads to changes in the contour of the uterine cavity, significantly increases the chances of pregnancy in patients with previous infertility.
Distance between consecutive elements of the multiplicative group of integers modulo n
Authors: Brown Steven 
Published: February 2024

For a prime number $p$, we consider its primorial $P:=p\#$ and $U(P):={\left(\ZZ{P}\right)}^\times$ the set of elements of the multiplicative group of integers modulo $P$ which we represent as points anticlockwise on a circle of perimeter $P$. These points considered with wrap around modulo $P$ are those not marked by the Eratosthenes sieve algorithm applied to all primes less than or equal to $p$. In this paper, we are mostly concerned with providing formulas to count the number of gaps of a given even length $D$ in $U(P)$ which we note $K(D,P)$. This work, presented with different notations is closely related to [5]. We prove the formulas in three steps. Although only the last step relates to the problem of gaps in the Eratosthenes sieve (see Section 3.2.2) the previous formulas may be of interest to study occurrences of defined gaps sequences. <ul>	<li>For a positive integer $n$, we prove a general formula based on the inclusion-exclusion principle to count the number of occurrences of configurations<sup>1</sup> in any subset of $\ZZ{n}$.

Background
Cancer-related anemia (CRA) is a functional iron deficient anemia, and the early diagnosis will improve the prognosis of the patients. This prospective study aimed to investigate the utility of mean reticulocyte volume (MRV) in the early diagnosis of CRA.

Methods
A total of 284 first-diagnosed cancer patients were enrolled, and the subjects were assigned anemia and non-anemia groups by hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations. The mature RBC and reticulocyte indices were detected with BC-7500 blood analyzer, and the MRV, reticulocyte hemoglobin (RHE) content, and reticulocyte production index (RPI) were obtained. ROC curves were constructed in identifying anemia diagnosed by the combination of RHE and RPI. An adjusted multivariate analyse and quartiles were used to assess the associations of MRV with early CRA diagnosed by combining RBC indices (MCV, MCH and MCHC), respectively.

Results
No statistical differences were observed in MCV, RHE and MRV levels between anemia and non-anemia subjects (p > 0.05). MRV exhibited a complete or high correlation with the RHE levels (r = 1.000, p < 0.001), or MCV, MCH, and MCHC in anemia patients (R: 0.575–0.820, p < 0.001). ROC curves analyse indicated a highest area under curve of 0.829 (95% CI [0.762–0.895]) and 0.884 (95% CI [0.831–0.936]) for MRV in identifying anemia in male and female patients, respectively (p < 0.001). When the optimal cutoff values of MRV were set at 100.95 fl in males and 98.35 fl in females, the sensitivity and specificity were 1.00 and 0.68, and 1.00 and 0.73, respectively. The regression analyse showed that, when being as a categorical variable, MRV showed an odds ratio of 19.111 (95% CI [6.985–52.288]; p < 0.001) for the incidence of CRA. The incidence of overall anemia demonstrated a more significant decrease trend along with the increase of MRV quartiles (p-trend < 0.001).

Conclusion
This study revealed that the MRV can be used as a convenient and sensitive index in early diagnosis of cancer-related anemia, and decreased MRV level may be the powerful predictor of overt anemia in cancer patients.
Single‐Cell Analysis of Lipid Rafts in Lymphocytes and in T Cell–Containing Immunoconjugates
Authors: Lee William T. , Watson Andrew R. O. 
Published: March 2006

AbstractWithin the plasma membranes of many different cell types, certain membrane lipids, including cholesterol and sphingolipids, form lateral assemblies surrounded by unsaturated glycerophospholipids. The concentration of such membrane lipids and associated proteins results in the formation of microdomains termed lipid rafts” (or glycolipid‐enriched membranes or detergent‐insoluble glycosphingolipid‐enriched domains). Proteins that possess saturated acyl chains are generally associated with lipid rafts. Lipid rafts are believed to be involved in a number of cellular processes including cell activation. When material is limiting, raft‐associated proteins may be identified on single cells using microscopy. This unit describes the application of this technique in an immunological example, examining the location and movement of signal transduction complexes in single T lymphocytes and in interactive conjugates between T cells and antigen‐presenting cells (APCs).
Perspective‐taking vs. mental rotation transformations and how they predict spatial navigation performance
Authors: Kozhevnikov Maria , Motes Michael A. , Rasch Bjoern , Blajenkova Olessia 
Published: March 2006

AbstractIn Experiment 1, participants completed one of two versions of a computerized pointing direction task that used the same stimuli but different spatial transformation instructions. In the perspective‐taking version, participants were to imagine standing at one location facing a second location and then to imagine pointing to a third location. In the array‐rotation version, participants saw a vector pointing to one location, were to imagine the second vector with the same base as the first pointing to a second location, to mentally rotate the two vectors, and finally to indicate the direction of the imagined vector after the rotation. In Experiment 2, participants completed the perspective‐taking, mental rotation, and four large‐scale navigational tasks. The results showed that the perspective‐taking task required unique spatial transformation ability from the array rotation task, and the perspective‐taking task predicted unique variance over the mental rotation task in navigational tasks that required updating self‐to‐object representations.

Determination and quantification of the release of inorganic contaminants from municipal waste incineration ash

Published: March 2006

AbstractVarious leaching experiments applied to municipal waste incineration ash were compared in order to find the best available procedure to measure the total mass flow caused by natural leaching (source strength) of the material. The results of various batch experiments and two different laboratory column experiments run under water‐saturated conditions were compared with water‐unsaturated field‐scale column experiments (lysimeter). The results of the batch experiments were not transferable to the column and field experiments. But, very good accordance could be observed between the breakthrough curves of the two column experiments conducted in the laboratory under water‐saturated conditions and the water‐unsaturated field‐scale columns, with few exceptions. The results show that batch experiments are not sufficient to predict the source strength and its changes over time. Instead, column experiments are essential for a realistic risk assessment. For most inorganic parameters, a laboratory column experiment lasting less than 5 days is sufficient for a risk assessment in the foreseeable future.
Matrix effects on the photocatalytical degradation of dichloroacetic acid and atrazine in water
Authors: Ziegmann Markus , Doll Tusnelda , Frimmel Fritz H. 
Published: March 2006

AbstractThe effect of different organic and inorganic aqueous matrices on the photocatalytical degradation of dissolved atrazine and dichloroacetic acid (DCA) with immobilized TiO2 was investigated. Two series of experiments were carried out at pH values around 7.1 for the degradation of atrazine and around 5.3 for the degradation of DCA. It is shown that the effects of the water constituents are completely different for the various substances and pH ranges. In pure deionized water 95% of the initial amount ρ = 1 mg/L of atrazine were degraded within 24 hours. Tap water as matrix led to a distinct lower degradation rate (factor 3). The single additives chloride, sulfate, phosphate, carbonate and DOC showed no decrease in the degradation rate. Especially in the case of phosphate and carbonate there was even a significant promoting effect. DEDIA, the doubly desalkylated and not dechlorinated product, occurred in higher concentrations than in the experiment without additives. In pure deionized water ρ0 (DCA) = 1 mg/L was completely degraded within 330 min. By addition of any tested substance, organic or inorganic, the degradation rate of DCA, which is strongly dependent on the adsorption on the TiO2 surface, decreased clearly. In the case of tap water the degradation rate decreased by a factor of 7.5. From the checked inorganic ions phosphate showed the strongest effect followed by sulfate, chloride and carbonate. Added DOC also had a significant influence on the degradation rate.

Correlation between the morphology and dynamic mechanical properties of ethylene vinyl acetate/linear low‐density polyethylene blends: Effects of the blend ratio and compatibilization
Authors: Moly K. A. , Bhagawan S. S. , Groeninckx G. , Thomas S. 
Published: March 2006

AbstractThe effects of the blend composition and compatibilization on the morphology of linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE)/ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) blends were studied. The blends showed dispersed/matrix and cocontinuous phase morphologies that depended on the composition. The blends had a cocontinuous morphology at an EVA concentration of 40–60%. The addition of the compatibilizer first decreased the domain size of the dispersed phase, which then leveled off. Two types of compatibilizers were added to the polymer/polymer interface: linear low‐density polyethylene‐g‐maleic anhydride and LLDPE‐g phenolic resin. Noolandi's theory was in agreement with the experimental data. The conformation of the compatibilizer at the blend interface could be predicted by the calculation of the area occupied by the compatibilizer molecule at the interface. The effects of the blend ratio and compatibilization on the dynamic mechanical properties of the blends were analyzed from −60°C to +35°C. The experiments were performed over a series of frequencies. The area under the curve of the loss modulus versus the temperature was higher than the values obtained by group contribution analysis. The loss tangent curve showed a peak corresponding to the glass transition of EVA, indicating the incompatibility of the blend system. The damping characteristics of the blends increased with increasing EVA content because of the decrease in the crystalline volume of the system. Attempts were made to correlate the observed viscoelastic properties of the blends with the morphology. Various composite models were used to model the dynamic mechanical data. Compatibilization increased the storage modulus of the system because of the fine dispersion of EVA domains in the LLDPE matrix, which provided increased interfacial interaction. Better compatibilization was effected at a 0.5–1% loading of the compatibilizer. This was in full agreement with the dynamic mechanical spectroscopy data. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
