Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Women towards Exclusive Breastfeeding and Mixed Feeding In Gubalafto Woreda, Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Gellaw, Mitiku
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: Background World health organization (WHO) and United Nations Children's fund (UNICEF) recommends breastfeeding children exclusively the first six months, and continuing breast-feeding along with complementary foods up to 2 years or beyond is important. Despite the recommendations, national exclusive breastfeeding prevalence in many countries remained very law which ranges from 30%-67% only. This study was intended to provide relevant information for government and nongovernmental organizations' (NGOs) officials on magnitudes and gaps on breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding in particular. This will help for appropriate and relevant interventions. Objective To assess knowledge, attitude, and practices of mothers on exclusive breast-feeding and mixed feeding and indicate areas of interventions for relevant stakeholders. Methodology This study was designed as an institution based cross-sectional study supplemented with qualitative method. A structured and semi structured questionnaires were used for quantitative and qualitative data collection respectively. Results Proportion of women with good knowledge and good exclusive breastfeeding practice was 259(65.1%) and 311(78.1%) respectively. Prevalence of mixed feeding practice was 73(18.3%). In the hierarchical analysis; their spouse being educated, maternal age >35 years, married mothers, being a housewife remained significant predictors of EBF knowledge. Mothers who were formally educated and being a housewife were significant predictors of good EBF practice. Conclusions and Recommendations Even though mothers who visit health clinics are expected to have better knowledge status, their knowledge status regarding EBF recommendations remained very low. Their EBF practice level was still unsatisfactory. Their spouse being educated, mothers being married, being a housewife and mothers' illiteracy negatively affected their knowledge and practice status on EBF. A ii support from family, health care providers, health policy makers and health project implementers is imperative to improve appropriate breastfeeding practice among breastfeeding mothers.

description: Results are presented from a search for CP violation in top quark pair production, using proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data used for this analysis consist of final states with two charged leptons collected by the CMS experiment, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. The search uses two observables, $\mathcal{O}_1$ and $\mathcal{O}_3$, which are Lorentz scalars. The observable $\mathcal{O}_1$ is constructed from the four-momenta of the charged leptons and the reconstructed top quarks, while $\mathcal{O}_3$ consists of the four-momenta of the charged leptons and the b quarks originating from the top quarks. Asymmetries in these observables are sensitive to CP violation, and their measurement is used to determine the chromoelectric dipole moment of the top quark. The results are consistent with the expectation from the standard model.

description: In a view for a simple model where natural selection at the individual level is confronted to selection effects at the group level, we consider some individual-based models of some large population subdivided into a large number of groups. We then obtain the convergence to the law of a stochastic process with some Feynman-Kac penalization. To analyze the limiting behavior of this law, we exploit a recent approach, designed for the convergence to quasi-stationary distributions. We are able to deal with the fixation of the stochastic process and relate the convergence to equilibrium to the one where fixation implies extinction. We notably establish different regimes of convergence. Besides the case of an exponential rate (the rate being uniform over the initial condition), critical regimes with convergence in 1/t are also to notice. We finally address the relevance of such limiting behaviors to predict the long-time behavior of the individual-based model and describe more specifically the cases of weak selection. Consequences in term of evolutive dynamics are also derived, where such competition is assumed to occur repeatedly at each de novo mutation.

description: We conclusively show that the entanglement- and the mutual information-based measures of quantum non-Markovianity are inequivalent. To this aim, we first analytically solve the optimization problem in the definition of the entanglement-based measure for a two-level system. We demonstrate that the optimal initial bipartite state of the open system and the ancillary is always given by one of the Bell states for any one qubit dynamics. On top of this result, we present an explicit example dynamics where memory effects emerge according to the mutual information-based measure, even though the time evolution remains memoryless with respect to the entanglement-based measure. Finally, we explain this disagreement between the two measures in terms of the information dynamics of the open system, exploring the accessible and inaccessible parts of information.

description: In human-robot collaboration (HRC), operators work side by side with collaborative robots (cobots), a new type of machines able to function safely on tasks shared with humans. Despite the increasing presence of cobots in factories, the quality of experience associated by workers with HRC is an underexplored topic. This review is focused on the mental workload (MWL) reported by operators interacting with cobots, its major sources, and the potential solutions to optimize it during HRC. Out of 165 papers identified, 23 were selected as specifically devoted to the exploration of workers’ MWL in a HRC activity. Cobot motion, predictability, task organization and communication patterns emerged as the major factors contributing to operators’ MWL during HRC. Endowing cobots with the capacity to meet both task demands and human needs through modulation of motion rhythm, flexible physical interaction, and more efficient communication patterns may contribute to mitigating workers’ MWL.

description: An inclusive search for long-lived exotic particles decaying to a pair of muons is presented. The search uses data collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV in 2016 and 2018 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 97.6 fb$^{-1}$. The experimental signature is a pair of oppositely charged muons originating from a common secondary vertex spatially separated from the pp interaction point by distances ranging from several hundred $\mu$m to several meters. The results are interpreted in the frameworks of the hidden Abelian Higgs model, in which the Higgs boson decays to a pair of long-lived dark photons Z$_\mathrm{D}$, and of a simplified model, in which long-lived particles are produced in decays of an exotic heavy neutral scalar boson. For the hidden Abelian Higgs model with $m_\mathrm{Z_D}$ greater than 20 GeV and less than half the mass of the Higgs boson, they provide the best limits to date on the branching fraction of the Higgs boson to dark photons for $c\tau$(Z$_\mathrm{D}$) (varying with $m_\mathrm{Z_D}$) between 0.03 and ${\approx}$0.5 mm, and above ${\approx}$0.5 m. Our results also yield the best constraints on long-lived particles with masses larger than 10 GeV produced in decays of an exotic scalar boson heavier than the Higgs boson and decaying to a pair of muons.

description: In the spirit of the Schur-Weyl duality, we study the connections between the Racah algebra and the centralizers of tensor products of three (possibly different) irreducible representations of su(2). As a first step we show that the Racah algebra always surjects onto the centralizer. We then offer a conjecture regarding the description of the kernel of the map, which depends on the irreducible representations. If true, this conjecture would provide a presentation of the centralizer as a quotient of the Racah algebra. We prove this conjecture in several cases. In particular, while doing so, we explicitly obtain the Temperley-Lieb algebra, the Brauer algebra and the one-boundary Temperley-Lieb algebra as quotients of the Racah algebra.

description: The planning, construction and commissioning of multi-purpose physics detectors for the LHC proton-proton collider at CERN poses new challenges to the involved institutes regarding scientific, technological and organizational aspects of the process. In the case of the central vertex tracking systems, very complex assemblies have to be produced in large numbers and integrated into a device reliable enough to function for a planned experimental lifetime of at least ten years and in a radiation environment up to doses of several hundred kGy and fluences well above 1014 1MeV neutron equivalents/cm2 for the innermost parts of the tracking system. A quality assurance plan has to be implemented to ensure high quality of all parts according to the necessary performance parameters, define technical specifications accordingly and provide a good understanding of particle-detector interaction and the physical properties of the detector to extrapolate detector behaviour during the experiment. This thesis gives a detailed overview of the motivation, physics and organizational aspects and results of the quality assurance program for the silicon sensor used in the pixel subdetector for the ATLAS multi-purpose experiment. The sensor design used is shown to be well suitable for assembly and long term operation within the ATLAS experiment, and the quality plan implemented for sensor production has proven highly indicative for monitoring crucial aspects of sensor quality. In addition, problems within sensor production could be pinpointed at an early stage and further insights into the physical properties of sensors and parameters of their operation could be gained.

description: Robust estimators and different filtering techniques are proposed and their impact on the determination of a wide range of turbulence quantities is analysed. High-frequency water level measurements in a stepped spillway are used as a case study. The studied variables contemplated: the expected free surface level, the expected fluctuation intensity, the depth skewness, the autocorrelation timescales, the vertical velocity fluctuation intensity, the perturbations celerity and the one-dimensional free surface turbulence spectrum. When compared to classic techniques, the robust estimators allowed a more accurate prediction of turbulence quantities notwithstanding the filtering technique used.

description: The Voyager 2 Radio Science Subsystem occultations of the Uranian alpha and beta rings exhibit quasi-periodic optical depth variations with radial wavelengths that vary with longitude. These patterns may be wakes from small moonlets orbiting exterior to these rings. Based on the observed structures in the rings, we estimate that the moonlets would need to be located about 100 km exterior to the rings' semimajor axes and be 2-7 km in radius. Such moonlets could help keep the rings confined. Due to their small radii and presumed low albedo, the expected brightness of these moonlets is on the order of the noise in Voyager 2 images.

description: BackgroundAttention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects 3-4% of adults worldwide. ADHD is characterised by developmentally inappropriate and impairing levels of inattentive, hyperactive and impulsive symptoms. Waiting times for ADHD services in England are unacceptably long, delaying diagnosis and treatment access.AimTo inform future studies and ADHD clinical care pathways by:1) Interviewing a subset of the general population Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey (APMS) using the Diagnostic Interview for Adult ADHD (DIVA);2) Assessing the validity of ADHD screening measures used in the 2014 APMS;3) Providing statistics on comorbidity of ADHD and other psychiatric conditions; and4) Providing statistics on factors associated with ADHD.MethodsThe APMS programme is a probability-based sampling survey of community-based adults living in England, conducted every 7 years, to provide information on complex mental health conditions. The 2014 APMS, for the first time, made use of a systematic clinical evaluation of adult ADHD, by extending the Schedules for Clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (SCAN) currently used to assess psychosis in the APMS. Using the DIVA as the ‘Reference Standard’, the ADHD screening tools were validated and comorbidity, risk and protective factors were explored.ResultsUsing 67 adults from phase III of the 2014 APMS, covering a full range of baseline ADHD scores, the SCAN ADHD screener proved to be a good discriminator of ADHD (AUC=0.84); whereas the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) screener showed to be a fair discriminator. Individuals who screen positive for ADHD have higher comorbidity for several mental health conditions, poorer outcomes and the proportion of diagnosed and/or recognised ADHD is low.ConclusionsThe SCAN ADHD screener is a good general population discriminator of ADHD and therefore has potential to be used in health service assessment settings to improve the efficient identification and management of ADHD in primary and secondary healthcare.

description: Background: Cervical cancer is the second most prevalent cancer among women in the developing countries including Ethiopia. Identifying the factors associated with cervical precancerous lesion may help us to address the cervical cancer related problem. Studies on the issues of factors associated with cervical precancerous lesion in women are limited in Ethiopia. Objective: To determine factors associated with cervical precancerous lesion among women screened for cervical cancer in Addis Ababa. Methods: Hospital based unmatched case control study was conducted in selected health facilities of Addis Ababa city from March to April 2016. Data was collected from 114 cases and 229 controls using interviewer administered questionnaire and entered to Epi Info version 7 and exported to SPSS version 20 for analysis. The odds ratio with their 95% confidence interval and two-tailed P value were calculated. Variables with P value ≤ 0.2 in the bivariate analysis were included in the multivariate logistic regression. Statistical significance was declared if P value < 0.05. Result: The magnitude of cervical precancerous lesion was 12.8%. Being in the age group of 40-49 years (44.9%) were significantly associated with cervical precancerous lesion than being in age group of 30-39 years (39.07%) (AOR=2.40, 95%CI (1.27-4.54)). Women having history of sexually transmitted infections (18.08%) were significantly associated with cervical precancerous lesion than those who did not have history of sexual transmitted infection (81.92%) (AOR=3.20, 95%CI (1.26-8.10)). Women who had two or more lifetime sexual partners (AOR= 2.17 95%CI (1.01-4.67)) and those whose husband had two or more other lifetime sexual partners (AOR=3.03, 95%CI (1.25, 7.33) were significantly associated with cervical precancerous lesion. Conclusions: Age group of 40-49 years, lifetime history of sexual transmitted infections, two or more life time sexual partners of the women and two or more other lifetime sexual partners of the husband were increasing risk of cervical precancerous lesion. Women above the age of 40 years, with history of sexually transmitted infections and history of multiple sexual partners should be encourage to be screened for cervical cancer. Key Words: cervical cancer, cervical precancerous lesion, Addis Ababa and Ethiopia.

description: This Letter presents a search for direct production of charginos and neutralinos via electroweak interactions. The results are based on data from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb$^{-1}$. The search considers final states with large missing transverse momentum and pairs of hadronically decaying bosons WW, WZ, and WH, where H is the Higgs boson. These bosons are identified using novel algorithms. No significant excess of events is observed relative to the expectations from the standard model. Limits at the 95% confidence level are placed on the cross section for production of mass-degenerate wino-like supersymmetric particles $\tilde{\chi}_1^\pm$ and $\tilde{\chi}_2^0$, and mass-degenerate higgsino-like supersymmetric particles $\tilde{\chi}_1^\pm$, $\tilde{\chi}_2^0$, and $\tilde{\chi}_3^0$. In the limit of a nearly-massless lightest supersymmetric particle $\tilde{\chi}_1^0$, wino-like particles with masses up to 870 and 960 GeV are excluded in the cases of $ \tilde{\chi}_2^0\to$Z$\tilde{\chi}_1^0$ and $ \tilde{\chi}_2^0\to$H$\tilde{\chi}_1^0$, respectively, and higgsino-like particles are excluded between 300 and 650 GeV.

description: We present an algorithmic framework for quantum-inspired classical algorithms on close-to-low-rank matrices, generalizing the series of results started by Tang's breakthrough quantum-inspired algorithm for recommendation systems [STOC'19]. Motivated by quantum linear algebra algorithms and the quantum singular value transformation (SVT) framework of Gilyén, Su, Low, and Wiebe [STOC'19], we develop classical algorithms for SVT that run in time independent of input dimension, under suitable quantum-inspired sampling assumptions. Our results give compelling evidence that in the corresponding QRAM data structure input model, quantum SVT does not yield exponential quantum speedups. Since the quantum SVT framework generalizes essentially all known techniques for quantum linear algebra, our results, combined with sampling lemmas from previous work, suffice to generalize all recent results about dequantizing quantum machine learning algorithms. In particular, our classical SVT framework recovers and often improves the dequantization results on recommendation systems, principal component analysis, supervised clustering, support vector machines, low-rank regression, and semidefinite program solving. We also give additional dequantization results on low-rank Hamiltonian simulation and discriminant analysis. Our improvements come from identifying the key feature of the quantum-inspired input model that is at the core of all prior quantum-inspired results: $\ell^2$-norm sampling can approximate matrix products in time independent of their dimension. We reduce all our main results to this fact, making our exposition concise, self-contained, and intuitive.

description: Background HIV counseling and testing is the critical entry-point for engagement into treatment and care as well as for primary and secondary HIV prevention efforts. Despite the importance of this step, most HIV-infected patients globally, and particularly in resource-poor settings, are unaware of their HIV status and the uptake of Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) services is relatively limited. Missed opportunities for addressing HIV testing remain unacceptably high when patients seek medical care in the period before their HIV diagnosis. HIV counseling and testing is increasingly shifting from the client-initiated towards other modalities, especially provider-initiated testing and counselling. Objectives: The objective of this study was to asses the magnitude of PITC acceptance and disclosure and factors related to them among out patient department patents. Methods: A facility based cross sectional quantitative survey was conducted from Dec. 1 to Jan. 10 on 414 clients attending out patient department in Debre Birhan Referral Hospital. Data were collected using structured questionnaire, entered into EPI info version 3.5.1 and analyzed by SPSS version 16. Logistic regression model was used to assess factors associated with PITC acceptance and disclosure of test result. Result: A total of 414 subjects (response rate, 100 %) responded to the questionnaires. Acceptance of PITC among OPD patients was 83.6%. Adjusted correlates of PITC acceptance included female gender (AOR=2.27, 95% CI=1.16-4.42) and knowledge of HIV transmission (AOR=4.08, 95% CI=1.98-9.91). Individuals with protestant religion were less likely to accept PITC (AOR=0.21, 95% CI=0.06-0.72). Key barriers to accept PITC included being apparently healthy (25%), being tested before (22.1%) and fear of stigma and discrimination (19.1%). The vast majority 120 (90.5%) of the married respondents who had ever been tested for HIV disclosed their result to at least one person. Of 346 respondents, who accepted PITC, 288 (83.2%) had a plan to disclose their result to any other person. Compared with the age group 45 and above, subjects 15-24 years old were less likely to disclose their HIV status (AOR=0.16, 95% CI=0.04-0.62). Disclosure of test result was associated with occupation (AOR=5.42, 95% CI=1.44-20.43) and test result negative (AOR=4.00, 95% CI=1.53-10.47). The reasons for non disclosure were fear of stigma 37 (62.7%) followed by fear of blame 8 (13.6%). Conclusion and recommendation: In this study, PITC acceptance was promising and should be expanded to other health facilities. Efforts should be strengthened to decrease factors which impede HIV test result disclosure.

description: Decays of the Higgs boson into a Z boson and a J/$\psi$ or $\psi$(2S) meson are searched for in four-lepton final states with the CMS detector at the LHC. A data set of proton-proton collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$ is used. Using the same data set, decays of the Higgs and Z boson into quarkonium pairs are also searched for. An observation of such decays with this sample would indicate the presence of physics beyond the standard model. No evidence for these decays has been observed and upper limits at the 95% confidence level are placed on the corresponding branching fractions ($\mathcal{B}$). Assuming longitudinal polarization of the Higgs boson decay products, 95% confidence level observed upper limits for $\mathcal{B}$(H $\to$ J/$\psi$) and $\mathcal{B}$(H $\to$ Z$\psi$(2S)) are 1.9$\times$10$^{-3}$ and 6.6$\times$10$^{-3}$, respectively.

description: The exclusion of the LGBTQ+ community from the public institutions has been a fact for many years in the majority of countries around the world. The discussion of gender identity and visual representation is undoubtedly more than ever updated and what needs to be examined is the way the traditional masculinities are connected with the notion of nation and military. In a society that is gradually changes, like the Greek one, it is a challenge to investigate on the issue of inclusion of the LGBTQ community in the Armed Forces, focusing on the perceptions of active military officers, comparing to European colleagues. Moreover, the potential impact on the military performance on the grounds of discipline, cohesion and combat effectiveness is also thoroughly examined.

description: We report the existence of a universal trimer state induced by an impurity interacting with a two-component spin-orbit coupled Fermi gas in two dimensions. In the zero-density limit with a vanishing Fermi sea, the trimer is stabilized by the symmetry of the single-particle spectrum under spin-orbit coupling, and is therefore {\it universal} against the short-range details of the interaction potential. When the Fermi energy increases, we show that the trimer is further stabilized by particle-hole fluctuations over a considerable parameter region. We map out the phase diagram consisting of trimers, dimers, and polarons, and discuss the detection of these states using radio-frequency spectroscopy. The universal trimer revealed in our work is a direct manifestation of intriguing three-body correlations emerging from a many-body environment, which, in our case, is cooperatively supported by the single-particle spectral symmetry and the collective particle-hole excitations.

photon photon --> tau+ tau-
5020 GeV-cms/nucleon

description: We present an observation of photon-photon production of $\tau$ lepton pairs in ultraperipheral lead-lead collisions. The measurement is based on a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 404 $\mu$b$^{-1}$ collected by the CMS experiment at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV. The $\gamma\gamma\to\tau^+\tau^-$ process is observed for $\tau\tau$ events with a muon and three charged hadrons in the final state. The measured fiducial cross section is $\sigma(\gamma\gamma\to\tau^+\tau^-)$ = 4.8$\pm$ 0.6 (stat) $\pm$ 0.5 (syst) $\mu$b, in agreement with leading-order QED predictions. Using $\sigma(\gamma\gamma\to\tau^+\tau^-)$, we estimate a model-dependent value of the anomalous magnetic moment of the $\tau$ lepton of $a_\tau$ = 0.001$^{+0.055}_{-0.089}$ at a 68% confidence level.

description: Mice were maintained in the specific pathogen-free environment on a 12:12-h light/dark cycle (ZT0, 6 am, light on; ZT12, 6 pm, light off) and were used for collagen-induced Arthritis (CIA) experiments. For feeding time restriction experiments, CIA mice were given access to food only during the light phase (ZT0-ZT12) or only during the dark phase (ZT12-ZT24) for 4 weeks until the end of this experiment.
Texture analysis using deterministic partially self-avoiding walk with thresholds

description: In this paper, we propose a new texture analysis method using the deterministic partially self-avoiding walk performed on maps modified with thresholds. In this method, two pixels of the map are neighbors if the Euclidean distance between them is less than $\sqrt{2}$ and the weight (difference between its intensities) is less than a given threshold. The maps obtained by using different thresholds highlight several properties of the image that are extracted by the deterministic walk. To compose the feature vector, deterministic walks are performed with different thresholds and its statistics are concatenated. Thus, this approach can be considered as a multi-scale analysis. We validate our method on the Brodatz database, which is very well known public image database and widely used by texture analysis methods. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method presents a good texture discrimination, overcoming traditional texture methods.

description: We give a comprehensive account of the flavour physics of Beyond-Standard-Model (BSM) effects in $b \to c \bar{c} s$ transitions, considering the full set of 20 four-quark operators. We discuss the leading-order structure of their RG mixing with each other as well as the QCD-penguin, dipole, and FCNC semileptonic operators they necessarily mix with, providing compact expressions. We also provide the first complete results for BSM effects in the lifetime observables $ΔΓ_s$ and $τ(B_s)/τ(B_d)$, as well as for the semileptonic CP-asymmetry $a_{sl}^s$. From a global analysis, we obtain stringent constraints on 16 of the 20 BSM operators, including the 10 operators $Q^{c\prime }_{1 \dots 10}$ involving a right-handed strange quark. Focussing on CP-conserving new physics, the constraints correspond to NP scales of order 10 TeV in most cases, always dominated by exclusive and/or radiative $B$-decays via RGE mixing. For the remaining four operators, including the two Standard-Model (SM) ones, larger effects are experimentally allowed, as previously noted in arXiv:1701.09183. We extend that paper's scope to the CP-violating case, paying attention to the impact on the decay rate and time-dependent CP-violation in $B_d \to J/ψK_S$. We show that quantifiable constraints arise for new physics in either of the two SM operators, with the uncertain non-perturbative matrix element of the colour-suppressed operator determined from the data. For new physics in the SM suppressed coefficient $C^c_1$ we find two perfectly viable, narrow bands of complex Wilson coefficients. Somewhat curiously, one of them contains a region where the fitted matrix element for the colour-suppressed operator is in agreement with naive factorization, contrarily to a widely held belief that large non-factorizable contributions to $B_d \to J/ψK_S$ are implied by experimental data.

description: A precise measurement of the invisible width of the Z boson produced in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV is presented using data recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.3 fb$^{-1}$. The result is obtained from a simultaneous fit to kinematic distributions for two data samples of Z boson plus jets: one dominated by Z boson decays to invisible particles and the other by Z boson decays to muon and electron pairs. The invisible width is measured to be 523 $\pm$ 3 (stat) $\pm$ 16 (syst) MeV. This result is the first precise measurement of the invisible width of the Z boson at a hadron collider, and is the single most precise direct measurement to date, competitive with the combined result of the direct measurements from the LEP experiments.
