The Use of Conditioning in Behavior Modification
Authors: Thompson-Bramwell Belinda , Mauzard Nicole 
Published: August 2022

Behavior modification has been an important topic of discussion in psychology for decades. This topic has generated much interest among parents, educators, marketers, clinicians and others. We all want to understand how to effectively help people to change undesirable behaviors. Behaviorists have developed a number of theories and have contributed significant insights into how the principles of these theories can be applied to modify behaviors. This paper reviewed three such theories: classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and contiguous conditioning. The articles reviewed suggested that the principles of these theories, when implemented, help to modify behaviors. However, not all can be depended on for lasting effects. Classical and operant conditioning remain effective only with reinforcements. When the reinforcements are removed, the response (behavior) goes extinct. Contiguous conditioning, on the other hand, proposes three approaches to behavior modification which seem to have a longer lasting effect on behavior modification.

While there are benefits of forming partnerships among Colleges of Teachers’ Education and schools, bridging the gap between theory and practices of trainees is one of the main established challenges. Other challenges include gaps between theoretical and practical parts of teacher education programs, lack of finance in implementing partnerships between the college and schools and lack of collaboration between college instructors and teachers. The study recommends that the Ministry of Education should allocate a budget for developing effective partnerships. The regional education office should give training to develop trust among partners. Training should be given to change the pattern of the top to down work order and solve the cultural differences between the colleges and schools.
Chern currents of coherent sheaves
Authors: Lärkäng Richard , Wulcan Elizabeth 
Published: August 2022

Given a finite locally free resolution of a coherent analytic sheaf $\mathcal F$, equipped with Hermitian metrics and connections, we construct an explicit current, obtained as the limit of certain smooth Chern forms of $\mathcal F$, that represents the Chern class of $\mathcal F$ and has support on the support of $\mathcal F$. If the connections are $(1,0)$-connections and $\mathcal F$ has pure dimension, then the first nontrivial component of this Chern current coincides with (a constant times) the fundamental cycle of $\mathcal F$. The proof of this goes through a generalized Poincar\'e-Lelong formula, previously obtained by the authors, and a result that relates the Chern current to the residue current associated with the locally free resolution.Comment: 26 pages. v5: Correct \'Epiga article number, no other change to v3

Introducción: el penfigoide de las mucosas (PM), antes llamado mucoso, cicatrizal o mucosinequiante, representa un grupo heterogéneo de enfermedades ampollares autoinmunes in amatorias crónicas que comprometen las mucosas o la piel, con tendencia a dejar secuelas cicatrizales.
Existen autoanticuerpos contra distintos componentes de la zona de la membrana basal (BPAG1, BPAG2, integrina α6β4, laminina 332, colágeno VII, entre otros), por lo que la inmuno uorescencia directa (IFD) es de suma importancia, así como la clínica, para su diagnóstico.
Objetivo: realizar una revisión de los casos de PM diagnosticados durante un período de 24 años (enero de 1997marzo de 2021) en el Sector de Enfermedades Ampollares del Hospital Ramos Mejía para determinar la epidemiología, la clínica y la terapéutica de esta enfermedad.
Diseño: estudio retrospectivo descriptivo y observacional, en el que se analizaron las características clínicas e inmunopatológicas de 34 pacientes con diagnóstico de PM atendidos en el Servicio de Dermatología del Hospital Ramos Mejía desde enero de 1997 hasta marzo de 2021.
Materiales y métodos: mediante las historias clínicas y los registros iconográ cos, se evaluaron las siguientes variables: prevalencia del diagnóstico de PM en los pacientes atendidos en el Sector, sexo, edad, antecedentes personales, mucosas afectadas, tiempo de evolución hasta el diagnóstico, hallazgos en la IFD, seguimiento clínico y tratamientos instaurados.
Resultados: se estudió la evolución clínica de 34 pacientes diagnosticados con PM (5,3% del total de pacientes evaluados en el Sector de Patologías Ampollares). El sexo más afectado fue el femenino y la edad promedio en el momento del diagnóstico fue de 64 años. El 70,6% de los pacientes presentaron comorbilidades asociadas como hipertensión e hipotiroidismo. La mayoría re rió algún evento emocional como factor desencadenante. El sitio más comprometido fue la mucosa ocular y la cavidad oral fue la segunda en frecuencia. El tiempo de evolución promedio hasta el momento del diagnóstico fue de 4 años y 11 meses. El hallazgo más frecuente en la IFD fue la IgG lineal. El 17,6% de los pacientes interrumpieron el seguimiento clínico. El tratamiento más utilizado fue el mofetil micofenolato, con el que se obtuvo buena respuesta terapéutica.
Conclusiones: el PM es una enfermedad autoinmune infrecuente que compromete las mucosas y, ocasionalmente, la piel. En este estudio, se observó que la principal mucosa afectada fue la conjuntival, a diferencia de lo referido en la bibliografía internacional dermatológica. El diagnóstico interdisciplinario temprano es fundamental para evitar las secuelas irreversibles.

Published: August 2022

Introduction: Ectopic pregnancy is a high-risk condition which can lead to mortality and morbidity if not diagnosed and managed promptly. Transvaginal Sonography (TVS) has a major role in diagnosing ectopic pregnancy. Certain signs if identified accurately on TVS examination can help predict or exclude ectopic pregnancy precisely.
Aims & Objectives: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of TVS examination in detecting ectopic pregnancy. It also aims to highlight the need of TVS examination in routine antenatal care during early pregnancy.
Place and duration of study: The study was carried out at Shaikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore with the collaborated effort of Radiology Department and Department of Gynae & Obs. It was conducted over the period of three years from 1-1- 2017 to 31-12-2019.
Material & Methods: In this observational study 160 women with suspected ectopic pregnancy were evaluated with ? - HCG levels and TVS examinations. Per-operative findings were taken as the gold standard for patients who underwent laparoscopy/laparotomy, and a trend of ?-HCG for patients with expectant/medical managements per RCOG guidelines. Statistical analyses were applied to find out diagnostic accuracy of TVS findings. The prospective study pattern with close follow-ups and a managing protocol according to the guidelines were required to reinforce the results.
Results: The sensitivity of TVS in diagnosing Ectopic Pregnancies (EPs) in clinically suspected patients were found to be 92.5%, specificity 84.62%, positive predictive value 94.91%, negative predictive value 78.57% and accuracy rate was calculated as 90.62%. Most frequent signs present were empty uterine cavity, blob sign and embryo with or without cardiac activity.
Conclusion: TVS examination is quite effective in predicting and excluding ectopic pregnancy in early gestation. Majority of patients with ectopic pregnancy had surgery as part of their management.

Introduction: Quality of health care services can be measured through assessing patients' satisfaction. Therefore, to evaluate the health care quality, it is important to measure patient's attendant perceptions. SERVPERF questionnaire is used to evaluate health care. It has five dimensions: assurance, empathy, reliability, tangibility, and responsiveness.
Aims & Objectives: This study aimed to measure the quality of health services provided to patients in the Pediatric Leukemia Center at Al-Kuwait University Hospital in Sana'a as perceived by patients' attendant using SERVPERF questionnaire.
Place and duration of study: Pediatric Leukemia Center, Al-Kuwait University Hospital, Sana'a, Republic of Yemen; for one year from 03/06/2018 to 02/06/2019.
Material & Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted after approval from Faculty of Medicine Sana'a University. Informed consent was taken from 145 participants. Modified SERVPERF questionnaire was used after validation (Cronbach's alpha 0.92). Response rate was 93.7% and 136 questionnaires were analyzed. The questionnaire had 11 questions related to the demographic data of the patient and attendant, followed by 38 questions (with scale from
1 to 5) related to five dimensions of quality health service; reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, and tangibility. Data was analyzed using SPSS 20.0.
Results: Mean±SD scores of the reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, and tangibility dimensions were 3.90±0.51, 4.20±0.56, 4.33±0.54, 4.03±0.7, and 3.57±0.73 respectively. The highest score was for the assurance dimension and the lowest was for the tangibility. There were no significant differences in patients' attendants perceptions attributed to gender, age and education.
Conclusion: This study shows high scores in the assurance, responsiveness, and empathy dimensions but lower scores in the reliability and tangibility dimensions. This indicates the need for logistic support, equipment, and medications for the center.
