BREASTFEEDING DURATION: A DESCRIPTIVE STUDY OF WOMEN RECEIVING LEVONORGESTREL INTRAUTERINE SYSTEM IMMEDIATELY AND 6 WEEKS POSTPARTUM
Creators: name: Charm, Samantha
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Objectives: Describe and compare the characteristics and breastfeeding duration of women receiving levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) immediately postpartum and 6 weeks postpartum Methods: This was a secondary data analysis of a completed randomized clinical trial. Women desiring a LNG_IUS postpartum were randomized to early post-delivery insertion or late insertion 6-8 weeks after vaginal delivery. Breastfeeding status was assessed at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months postpartum. Only women with continuous use of an IUS were included in this analysis. Results: Twenty-two women (7 early insertions, 15 late insertions) were included in this analysis. Seventeen (77.3%) and 13 (59.1%) of the women continued breastfeeding through 6 weeks and 6 months respectively. Women with longer durations of breastfeeding showed a trend toward being older, having higher income and stronger intention to breastfeed. Women with shorter durations of breastfeeding showed a trend toward being non-white. The rate of breastfeeding was slightly higher among continuous IUS users who received the IUS early after vaginal delivery, compared to the late group, at 6 weeks and 6 months but the difference was not significant. Conclusions: Among a group of women who received and used the LNG-IUS continuously either immediately after a vaginal delivery, or 6 weeks later, breastfeeding outcomes were similar. Many published trends in determinants of breastfeeding duration were seen among women receiving an LNG-IUS postpartum. There did not appear to be a difference in the breastfeeding duration of continuous users in the early insertion group compared to the late insertion group. The relationship between type and timing of postpartum contraception and breastfeeding should be explored further.
title: Violinists and violin music in Scotland, 1550-1750
Creators: name: McGregor, Aaron
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2020

description: This thesis explores the early history of the violin in Scotland from 1550 to 1750, principally through a study of performers and musical sources. The following research questions will be addressed: • How and when did the violin become established in Scotland? • What were the roles of violinists, and their place in Scottish society? • What were the violin’s range of repertoires, and how did these contribute to a Scottish national musical style and identity by the mid eighteenth century? Research undertaken during the years 2015-2019 has involved examining iconographical, documentary, and musical sources, tracing the biographies of performers, and investigating records of employment of musicians at court, burgh, church, landed estates, musical societies, theatres, and dancing assemblies. The most significant findings relate to the violin’s place at the sixteenth-century royal court, including the identity of several previously unknown groups of foreign violinists. Tracing a far earlier history of the violin in Scotland than formerly recognised, this thesis counteracts the commonly held notion that the violin arrived ‘around 1670’ and that its early repertoire was insular and unworthy of serious study. This thesis explores the full range of styles and genres played on the violin in Scotland in c. 1550-1750. A lack of pre-1670 musical sources specifically written for the violin has previously been taken as evidence for the instrument’s late arrival. This thesis presents a rich history of Scottish consort music dating back to the mid sixteenth century, closely related to violin band repertoire from England and France. Violin music in Scottish manuscript sources of c. 1670-1750 shows a continuity of vernacular elements, particularly in an underlying grammar of variation form. Each successive generation of players developed this tradition through interaction with contemporary musical styles, most notably in Italianate concert music in the eighteenth century. This thesis concludes that the violin had a far earlier history than previously recognised, stretching back to the mid sixteenth century. By 1750, it had become the dominant instrument in Scotland due to its facility for bridging socio-cultural and musical divides.

description: Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration in bone tissue, which leads to enhanced bone fragility and increased fracture risk. At present, the commonly used drugs include estrogen, bone formation promoter and bone resorption inhibitor, with obvious side effects. The traditional Chinese medicine turmeric extract curcumin has certain therapeutic advantages in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis, but there is a lack of evidence-based medical evidence.The purpose of this study was to explore the efficacy of curcumin in the treatment of osteoporosis and provide new treatment strategies. We will search the PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library Central Register of Controlled Trials, China national knowledge infrastructure database (CNKI), Wan fang database, Chongqing VIP information, and SinoMed from their inception to January 2022. All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of curcumin for the treatment of osteoporosis will be included. The improvement of trabecular bone parameters and bone mineral density (BMD) will be accepted as the primary outcomes. The meta-analyses will be performed by using the RevMan 5.3. This study evaluated the efficacy of curcumin in the treatment of osteoporosis from the aspects of bone mineral density, blood calcium level, blood superoxide dismutase level, blood malondialdehyde level and blood alkaline phosphatase level after treatment. This study will provide a reliable evidence-based basis for the application of curcumin in the treatment of osteoporosis.

description: We compute next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the gluon-induced production cross section of Higgs boson pairs in the large top quark mass limit using the soft-virtual approximation. In the limit of infinitely-heavy top quark we confirm the results in the literature. We add two more expansion terms in the inverse top quark mass to the $M_t\to\infty$ result. Since the $1/M_t$ expansion converges poorly, we try to improve on it by factorizing the exact leading order cross section. We discuss two ways of doing that and conclude that the finite top quark mass effects shift the cross section at most by about 10\% at next-to-leading order and by about 5\% at next-to-next-to-leading order.

description: We present the analysis of GAMA spectroscopic groups and clusters detected and undetected in the SRG/eROSITA
 X-ray map of the eFEDS (eROSITA Final Equatorial Depth Survey) area, in the halo mass range 10^13 − 5x10^14 Msol and at z < 0.2. We compare the X-ray surface brightness profiles of the eROSITA detected groups with the mean stacked profile of the undetected low-mass halos. Overall, we find that the undetected groups exhibit less concentrated X-ray surface brightness, dark matter, and galaxy distributions with respect to the X-ray detected halos. Consistently with the low mass concentration, the magnitude gap indicates that these are younger systems. The later assembly time is confirmed by the bluer average color of the BCG and of the galaxy population with respect to the detected systems. They reside with a higher probability in filaments while X-ray detected low-mass halos favor the nodes of the Cosmic Web. Because of the suppressed X-ray central emission, the undetected systems tend to be X-ray under-luminous at fixed halo mass, and to lie below the LX − M halo relation. Interestingly, the X-ray detected systems inhabiting the nodes scatter the less around the relation, while those in filaments tend to lie below it. We do not observe any strong relationship between the properties of detected and undetected systems with the AGN activity. The fraction of optically selected AGN in the galaxy population is consistent in the two samples. More interestingly, the probability that the BCG hosts a radio AGN is lower in the undetected groups than in the detected ones. We, thus, argue that the observed differences between X-ray detected and undetected groups are ascribable to the Cosmic Web, and its role in the halo assembly bias. Our results suggest that the X-ray selection is biased to favor the most concentrated and old systems located in the nodes of the Cosmic Web.

description: Pre-print
description: Background: Fentanyl is a potent, synthetic opioid at the centre of an international health crisis that has seen thousands of fatal overdoses. Most analytical methods focus on the detection of fentanyl in blood and/or urine (i.e., post-drug use). Harm reduction (including pre-screening before drug use) may be an effective strategy against fentanyl overdoses. Method: Paper spray-mass spectrometry (PS-MS) is an inexpensive, direct sampling strategy where a small volume of sample (<10 μL) is spotted onto a piece of paper that is then wetted and connected to high voltage. Ions are emitted from the paper and enter a mass spectrometer for sensitive and selective semi-quantitation using labeled internal standards. Results: We present the use of PS-MS for the direct measurement of fentanyl and norfentanyl using a custom PS interface, demonstrating that paper tip position and quality can significantly affect quantitative results. Furthermore, we observe comparable calibrations for fentanyl and norfentanyl (0.5 to 600 ng/mL) across a variety of complex matrices (methanol, diluted urine, analgesic slurry). Detection limits for fentanyl are as low as 0.049 ng/mL (0.4 pg total material) in methanol, and 0.66 ng/mL (5.3 pg total material) spiked in an analgesic slurry (illicit substance simulation). PS-MS was compared with liquid chromatography-MS for the analyses of real urine samples, with satisfactory results. Conclusion: PS-MS shows potential as a sensitive and selective direct measurement strategy for use in fentanyl harm reduction strategies, and may also be used for pre-screening in advance of or in combination with more conventional (i.e., chromatographic) analyses.

DATA SEARCH We will perform a comprehensive search through the ESC website, namely the Guidelines & Scientific Documents section (https://www.escardio.org/Guidelines) in September 2019. We will assess all the latest versions of ESC guidelines to identify those with recommendations regarding antithrombotic therapy (anticoagulants, antiplatelets and fibrinolytics). Then, in each of the selected guidelines, we will identify the relevant studies, which will then be looked up on PUBMED. DATA SYNTHESIS AND ANALYSIS The FI will be calculated through the online calculator from ClinCalc (by adding an event from the group with the smallest number of events and subtracting a non -event from the same group, so as to keep the total number of patients constant. Then, a 2 -sided Fisher exact test is recalculated. The process is automatically repeated by the calculator until the p-value is 0,05 or higher). Once the FI is known, we will calculate the FQ using a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. FI and FQ will be calculated for the RCT which underpin recommendations

The cortisol awakening response: neuropsychological correlates and implications for function in healthy humans
Creators: name: Law, Robin
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2017

description: In healthy individuals, cortisol secretory activity shows a marked circadian rhythm. This rhythm is characterised by a declining pattern across the day, reaching a nadir in the late evening and early part of sleep, before gradually increasing during late sleep to reach peak levels upon subsequent morning awakening. The focus of the present thesis is a distinct aspect of this circadian rhythm: the rapid increase in cortisol concentrations to reach the diurnal acrophase within the first 45 minutes after awakening, known as the cortisol awakening response (CAR). The CAR is a much studied but poorly understood aspect of the circadian pattern of cortisol secretion. Despite being considered a biomarker of health status in psychophysiological and neuroendocrine research, its precise function within the healthy cortisol circadian rhythm has yet to be elucidated, and results from CAR studies in clinical populations have often been inconsistent. The focus of this programme of research was to seek a role for the CAR in healthy functioning young adults, and to address methodological issues that may have contributed to the inconsistent and contradictory findings from earlier studies. The data presented here from healthy young adult participants demonstrate for the first time that the CAR predicts better performance on an index of executive function (EF) in the same day. This is first demonstrated in a detailed case study of a healthy young adult male, showing that state variation in the CAR predicts EF at 45-min post-awakening, and then in a sample of healthy young adults, demonstrating that CAR predicts EF in the afternoon of the same day. In a further study of healthy young adults, the magnitude of the CAR was found to positively predict the capacity to induce synaptic plasticity in the motor cortex on that same day by Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). This study demonstrates, for the first time, that the daily magnitude of the CAR may be responsible for some daily variation in synaptic plasticity, presenting a possible mechanism by which the CAR might influence cognitive function. The unique contribution of this thesis lies in its progression from previous studies of elderly and clinical populations by demonstrating a possible role for the CAR in healthy young adults, as well as the detailed examination of state variation in the CAR and the use of strict methodologies to ensure accuracy of measurement. This has the potential to lead toward a clearer understanding of the role of the CAR within the healthy cortisol circadian cycle, and therefore the consequences of dysregulation in a range of conditions. The findings are discussed with regard to their contribution to understanding the relationship between the CAR and cognitive function, and the implications for methodology and interpretation of the broad range of studies using the CAR as a trait biomarker.

Chaos and Violence: A LONGSCAN Analysis of the Effects of Childhood Environmental Instability
Creators: name: Bila, Mary Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Objectives - Using data collected through the Longitudinal Studies of Child Abuse and Neglect (LONGSCAN), this study compares the strength of relationships between adolescent violence perpetration as it is associated with both experiences of child maltreatment as well as childhood environmental instability. The study seeks to demonstrate that instability predicts subsequent aggression more strongly than previous victimization and that a higher intensity of chaos throughout one's youth increases the likelihood of perpetrating violence in adolescence. Methods - Researchers followed LONGSCAN participants from age four (or earlier) to eighteen years old (n=1354). Using Chi Square tests, predictive probabilities, and logistic regression, this study compares the relationships of child maltreatment to adolescent aggression and environmental instability to adolescent aggression. Indicators of household/environmental instability and violence perpetration were formed using instruments and questionnaires from interviews administered in adolescence. This analysis evaluates the association of instability and violence instigation more thoroughly by considering the effect of gender, the dose-response relationship, and the recency effect. Results - Multiple shifts in a young person's environment, such as moving homes, changing schools, and/or shifts in caregivers such as through parental separation or foster care, increases a teenager's likelihood of resorting to aggression or violence (OR: 1.68) whereas experiencing physical or sexual abuse or witnessing abuse in one's household as a child is not significantly associated with this outcome. Furthermore, as chaos increases, the odds of committing violent acts correspondingly rise. Gender moderates this relationship, as males are at greater risk of violence perpetration after experiencing an unstable childhood. Conclusions for practice- Exposure to chaos in one's family, living situation, and/or academic institutions during childhood can have detrimental effects on adolescents' wellbeing. This factor should be considered within therapy and behavioral modification programs.
Interplanetary particle transport simulation for warning system for aviation exposure to solar energetic particles

description: Solar energetic particles (SEPs) are one of the extreme space weather phenomena. A huge SEP event increases the radiation dose received by aircrews, who should be warned of such events as early as possible. We developed a warning system for aviation exposure to SEPs. This article describes one component of the system, which calculates the temporal evolution of the SEP intensity and the spectrum immediately outside the terrestrial magnetosphere. To achieve this, we performed numerical simulations of SEP transport in interplanetary space, in which interplanetary SEP transport is described by the focused transport equation. We developed a new simulation code to solve the equation using a set of stochastic differential equations. In the code, the focused transport equation is expressed in a magnetic field line coordinate system, which is a non-orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system. An inverse Gaussian distribution is employed as the injection profile of SEPs at an inner boundary located near the Sun. We applied the simulation to observed SEP events as a validation test. The results show that our simulation can closely reproduce observational data for the temporal evolution of particle intensity. By employing the code, we developed the WArning System for AVIation Exposure to Solar energetic particles (WASAVIES).

A késő ókori auktor legalább három művet írt, ezek közül azonban csupán az egyik munka maradt fenn az utókor számára, a latin nyelvű, az illyricumi elit politikai álláspontját tükröző, katolikus keresztény szellemiségű Krónika (Chronicon), amely Szent Jeromos 379-ig tartó krónikakompozíciójának előbb 518-ig, majd 534-ig eljutó folytatása. Marcellinus comes munkáját egy ismeretlen auktor később egészen 548-ig kibővítette, a modern szöveghagyományban pedig ez az additamentum is a Krónika részét képezi.

The effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms and mutations on congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura phenotype
Creators: name: Tate, Helena
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2017

description: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare, life-threatening disease with a reported incidence of 6 cases per million per year in the UK. It is characterised by episodes of microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia and thrombocytopenia, with the widespread presence of platelet-rich thrombi in the microcirculation, leading to end-organ damage. TTP is a clinically heterogeneous disorder caused by autoantibody inhibition or clearance or by a deficiency in activity or secretion of the von Willebrand factor cleaving protease (ADAMTS13). Over 100 mutations have been identified in ADAMTS13 yet, in some cases, these mutations in congenital TTP alone do not explain the disease phenotype, particularly in late-onset congenital TTP. One aim of this study was to analyse the effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), in conjunction with ADAMTS13 mutations, which have been identified in a cohort of TTP patients with varied clinical phenotype. Twenty mutant expression plasmids containing an ADAMTS13 mutation and/or SNP have been constructed by site-directed mutagenesis (SDM). Fourteen plasmids contained a new non-synonymous mutation (C3484T) which has been rectified by further SDM. After full sequencing of the plasmid ADAMTS13 insert, 24 clones were identified as viable and the resultant protein was expressed in HEK293T cells and analysed by Western blot and ADAMTS13 antigen ELISA. Blots were scanned by densitometry and the intensity of the protein species corresponding to ADAMTS13 determined using ImageJ. The predicted effects of mutations and/or SNPs were annotated by the in silico computational tools SIFT, PolyPhen2, I-Mutant 2.0 and SNPEffect 4.0.Results from this genotype study were compared to clinical phenotype by correlating data held within the TTP Registry at University College London. The resultant analysis showed the mutations located in the N-terminal end of ADAMTS13 protein induced more secretory defects and SNPs had less of an effect on phenotype. The p.R7W and p.A1033T SNPs showed more of an effect on secretion of ADAMTS13 when the mutation was located in the Cterminal end (p.R1060W) which is associated with late-onset phenotype. However, other environmental factors such as changes in the ADAMTS13-VWF axis during pregnancy and infection make a correlation between genotype and phenotype in TTP more challenging.
Testing equality of spectral densities using randomization techniques
Creators: name: Jentsch, Carsten

Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper, we investigate the testing problem that the spectral density matrices of several, not necessarily independent, stationary processes are equal. Based on an $L_2$-type test statistic, we propose a new nonparametric approach, where the critical values of the tests are calculated with the help of randomization methods. We analyze asymptotic exactness and consistency of these randomization tests and show in simulation studies that the new procedures posses very good size and power characteristics.

description: We study the diversities in the properties of the neutron stars arising due to the different choices for the cross-coupling between various mesons which governs the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy in the extended relativistic mean-field(RMF) model. For this purpose, we obtain two different families of the extended RMF model corresponding to different non-linear cross-coupling term in the isovector part of the effective Lagrangian density. The lowest order contributions for the $δ$ mesons are also included. The different models within the same family are so obtained that they yield wide variation in the value of neutron-skin thickness in the $^{208}$Pb nucleus. These models are employed to compute the neutron star properties such as, core-crust transition density, radius and red shift at canonical mass ($1.4M_{\odot}$), tidal polarizability parameter, and threshold mass required for the enhanced cooling through direct Urca process. Most of the neutron star properties considered are significantly different(10\%-40\%) for the different families of models at a smaller neutron-skin thickness ($\sim 0.15$ fm) in the $^{208}$Pb nucleus.

Empowerment e protezione: strategie complementari per la digital e media literacy negli Stati Uniti

description: Miliardi di dollari vengono spesi negli Stati Uniti affinché bambini e adolescenti dispongano di computer, proiettori e accesso a Internet nella scuola primaria e secondaria. Sono attualmente in corso molte sperimentazioni, essendo gli insegnanti impegnati a esplorare le modalità di utilizzo delle tecnologie primariamente intese come strumenti per conseguire i tradizionali risultati di apprendimento. L’educazione per lo sviluppo della digital e media literacy offre un modello alternativo che sposta l’attenzione sull’insieme delle competenze pratiche o per la vita necessarie per una piena partecipazione alla vita delle attuali società densamente mediatizzate. Le competenze legate alla digital e media literacy non sono necessarie solo al fine di rafforzare le capacità individuali di utilizzo delle informazioni per l’empowerment personale e sociale, ma anche per affrontare i potenziali rischi associati ai mass media e ai media digitali. La digital e media literacy viene definita come la capacità di: (1) effettuare scelte responsabili e accedere alle informazioni localizzando e condividendo materiali e comprendendo informazioni e idee; (2) analizzare messaggi in una varietà di formati identificando l’autore, la finalità, il punto di vista e valutando la qualità e credibilità del contenuto; (3) creare contenuti in una varietà di formati per scopi autentici, facendo uso del linguaggio, delle immagini, dei suoni, e dei nuovi strumenti digitali e tecnologici; (4) riflettere sulla propria condotta e i propri comportamenti comunicativi considerando la responsabilità sociale e i principi etici; e (5) intraprendere azioni sociali lavorando individualmente o in modo collaborativo per condividere conoscenza e risolvere problemi in famiglia, sul luogo di lavoro, in comunità, e partecipando in qualità di membro della comunità. Questo articolo si sofferma, da un lato, su alcune recenti iniziative federali negli USA, dall’altro sulla necessità di sviluppare strumenti di valutazione per misurare gli avanzamenti apprenditivi per queste competenze.

description: ObjectivesTo examine the association of women's socio-demographic factors and Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (DMPA) knowledge with current DMPA utilization.MethodsSecondary analysis of data from a cross-sectional study of women conducted via translator-administered questionnaire in Leogane, Haiti, in 2015 and 2016. Logistic regression was performed to analyze associations of key factors including age, parity, educational status, male partner cohabitation and a calculated composite DMPA knowledge score with current DMPA use.ResultsThe analysis sample consisted of 516 women of reproductive age (15-45 years) using modern family planning methods. DMPA use was reported in 18% of women (n=91). Over half of the women had high knowledge of DMPA (54 %, n=278). Adjusting for covariates, the odds of DMPA use among parous women was more than three times the odds in nulliparous women (AOR = 3.22, 95 % CI = 1.22 -10.18, p <0.05). Women who lived with a male partner had higher odds of DMPA utilization than women who did not (AOR = 1.85, 95 % CI = 1.08 - 3.23 p<0.05). Women with primary education had 2.72 times the odds of DMPA use compared to women with no education (AOR = 2.72, 95 % CI = 1.93-7.79, P <0.05). High knowledge of DMPA was not statistically significantly associated with its use.ConclusionsParity, cohabiting with a male partner and educational status were statistically significantly associated with current DMPA use. Increased utilization in parous women, in women living with a male partner and in women with primary education compared to no education, may arise from convenient access, issues of secrecy or privacy or cultural barriers that need further elucidation to meet women’s reproductive health needs.

Analisi critica vs. produzione creativa. Le nuove sfide della media education nell’era digitale

description: Il consumo dei media è ingrediente di base della vita pubblica e privata dei minori rivestendo un ruolo fondamentale nella costruzione della loro identità e socialità. Una dimensione cruciale delle loro esperienze mediali è costituita dal piacere e dal gioco. In questo contributo si vuole sostenere che se l’educazione formale non riconosce questo ruolo e questa dimensione, il suo divario con i «mondi vitali» dei ragazzi fuori dalla scuola è destinato ad allargarsi sempre più. L’introduzione della media education1 può ridurre questo divario, a condizione però che l’analisi critica venga combinata alla produzione creativa degli studenti in classe, e cioè aprendo uno spazio dove questi ultimi possono esplorare gli aspetti «piacevoli» delle loro esperienze mediali quotidiane e al tempo stesso affrontare criticamente la loro condizione di consumatori e cittadini nella cultura contemporanea e capire i modi in cui i piaceri che derivano dai media sono socialmente costruiti.
