description: This guide specifies principles for determining the use of units in digitised communication of machine-readable data. These principles form the basis for all applications that transmit or require measurement data according to the specifications of the Système International d'Unités (SI). Basic principles for harmonised, clear, easy to understand and secure digital communication of metrological data are defined for real, complex, vector and constant quantities. The metadata model described is essential for the exchange of metrological information in all fields of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). In terms of content, the model takes into account essential international metrology guidelines and standards. For the first time, in conjunction with the globally established SI, measures are defined which are essential for an easy, secure, harmonised and unambiguous exchange of metrological data. The handling of non-SI units and the requirements for conversion between SI and non-SI quantities are taken into account. In addition, a classification for the suitability of metrological data for interoperability and machine readability is made (medal system). The classification results from the use of SI units as defined in the 9th edition of BIPM's SI brochure. Finally, this guide is the second edition of "SmartCom Digital System of Units (D-SI) Guide for the use of the metadata-format used in metrology for the easy-to-use, safe, harmonised and unambiguous digital transfer of metrological data". It adds a comprehensive appendix with rules for using the D-SI and an improved reference to the XML implementation for the D-SI.
description: The development of the uniform metadata format for the exchange of measurement data in ICT applications is part of the research project EMPIR 17IND02 (Title: SmartCom). This brochure is the result of Deliverable 1. The project was funded by the EMPIR programme co-financed by the participating countries and by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.

description: Despite the growing need for security cleared employees, there is a dearth of research in pre-employment security vetting practices. Interviews are perhaps the most vital and subjective aspect of vetting, and this process relies on the candidate's willingness to self-disclose risk- relevant information. This thesis attempts to measure the effects of interview context and interviewer feedback on risk-relevant self-disclosure. Chapters 1 and 2 respectively contain a literature review and the novel methodology used in the experiments. Chapters 3 and 4 report two between-subject experiments that explored the impact of interview contexts on self-disclosure outcomes. Experiment 1 compared self-disclosure in four contexts: Home, Office, Public, and Online. Results found that Home and Online interviewees self-disclosed at similarly high rates, and both significantly more than Public interviewees. Experiment 2 used a 2x2 factorial design, (Medium: Face-to-face, Virtual-mediated; Location: Home, Office) and found that Face-to-face Home interviewing yielded significantly more self- disclosure over all other conditions. An interaction effect was found for Location, such that Virtual-mediated Home interviewees disclosed significantly more than Virtual-mediated Office interviewees. Chapters 5 and 6 report two multi-part experiments which compare self-disclosure outcomes in groups that receive (self- and other-generated) information about themselves prior to the interview. Experiment 3 found that experimental groups who received a "profile" about themselves (mobile phone activity or personality traits) self-disclosed more than a control group. Experiment 4 compared self-disclosure outcomes between a control group and a group aware of referee reporting on their personality; no differences in self-disclosure were found. Chapter 7 presents a summary of the main findings, outlines limitations, and addresses theoretical and practical implications. This work provides evidence for the phenomenological significance of the home as a space conducive to risk-relevant self-disclosure and supports the notion that the personalisation of interviewer feedback can influence self-disclosure outcomes.

description: Rewards system and employee engagement is the hot issues for today's management. Employee's motivation has been in discussion for years, different compensation plans and strategies were adopted over years to make employees more productive. Recently, the introduction of employee engagement as a new construct to business, management, and human resource management fields make it an imperative to adopt in organizational settings. Many studies made indirect link between reward system and employee engagement. Moreover, reward elements expressed in terms of Intrinsic and Extrinsic are often considered a useful tool for employee engagement. But very few studies investigated the direct relationship between the two. This study tried to investigate the relationship between Rewards system and employee engagement. Moreover, the study also examined the impact of intrinsic and extrinsic rewards on employee engagement. In order to fulfill the research purpose, quantitative study was adopted. Questionnaires were designed using 5 point likert scale. 110 questionnaires were collected from employees of Commercial Bank of Ethiopia – Credit Management staffs. Subsequent to this SPSS was used to perform the required test of descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, bivariate correlation, ANOVA test and multiple regression analysis. The results of SPSS revealed that strong agreement of respondents to positive relationship between intrinsic rewards and employee engagement, and extrinsic rewards and employee engagement. Four intrinsic elements namely interesting work, job appreciation, Job satisfaction v | and stress, and four extrinsic elements namely job security, attractive Salary, promotion & growth and recognition were considered crucial by respondents for engagement. Finally, from the findings it is concluded that there is positive relationship between intrinsic rewards and employee engagement, and extrinsic rewards and employee engagement. Furthermore, it is also resulted that intrinsic rewards has strong positive impact on employee engagement than extrinsic rewards among credit management staffs. In addition to this, it is also concluded that the relationship and impact of intrinsic rewards was stronger on employee engagement as compared to extrinsic rewards. The study will enrich the current literature of rewards system and employee engagement. On practical level this study will not only help practitioners and consultants but also bank management will also be equipped with useful information regarding reward system and employee engagement in organizational settings.

title: MARKET FAILURES IN E-COMMERCE AND THE NEED FOR CONSUMER PROTECTION IN NIGERIA
titleType: Other

Publisher: name: University of Dundee
Year: 2023

description: Electronic commerce (e-commerce) is increasingly being adopted across the world as a convenient and beneficial form of transaction for the buying and selling of consumer goods and services. Whilst e-commerce is beneficial for transacting parties and the global economy, there are marketplace failures and risks that can potentially undermine its growth and economic prospects. These risks and failings of the electronic marketplace also undermine the confidence of consumers to engage with e-commerce because they consider e-commerce to be unsafe and unpredictable.

This thesis argues that consumers are not adequately protected when engaging with e-commerce in Nigeria which is one of Africa’s leading economies. The thesis illustrates this problem by using a market failure analysis to systematically outline specific risks and failings impacting on consumers engaging with e-commerce in Nigeria, and ascertaining the extent to which consumers are protected by market solutions and public regulation. The aim of this approach is to provide an evidence-based perspective for ascertaining the necessity of further interventions to protect consumers engaging with e-commerce in Nigeria, and to make some suggestions as to what these might be.

The thesis also draws lessons for effective regulation from international legal instruments like the United Nations Guidelines for Consumer Protection 2015 and the Recommendation on Consumer Protection in E-commerce 2016 by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). In a regional context, lessons are drawn from an analysis of European Union’s Consumer Law regime as a robust regulatory model for consumer protection. The Model Law for Consumer Protection in Africa 1996 and the Electronic Transaction Act 2010 of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) are also discussed to reflect notable regional interventions that could potentially benefit the development of Nigeria’s Consumer Law regime.

The findings from the analysis of Nigeria’s regime for consumer protection in e-commerce are discussed in the context of best practices and lessons for effective protection from notable international and regional legal instruments. The findings are also systematically analysed using the OECD Consumer Policy Toolkit 2010. The thesis concludes with a recommendation for regulatory intervention in Nigeria that comprises a hybrid model of private and public enforcement mechanisms.

description: Exploiting the fact that most arrival processes exhibit cyclic behaviour, we propose a simple procedure for estimating the intensity of a nonhomogeneous Poisson process. The estimator is the super-resolution analogue to Shao 2010 and Shao & Lii 2011, which is a sum of $p$ sinusoids where $p$ and the frequency, amplitude, and phase of each wave are not known and need to be estimated. This results in an interpretable yet flexible specification that is suitable for use in modelling as well as in high resolution simulations. Our estimation procedure sits in between classic periodogram methods and atomic/total variation norm thresholding. Through a novel use of window functions in the point process domain, our approach attains super-resolution without semidefinite programming. Under suitable conditions, finite sample guarantees can be derived for our procedure. These resolve some open questions and expand existing results in spectral estimation literature.

description: Hard ticks pose a threat to animal and human health. Active life stages need to feed on a vertebrate host in order to complete their life cycle. To study processes such as tick-pathogen interactions or drug efficacy and pharmacokinetics, it is necessary to maintain tick colonies under defined laboratory conditions, typically using laboratory animals. The aim of this study was to test a membrane-based artificial feeding system (AFS) applicable for Amblyomma ticks using Amblyomma tonelliae as a biological model. Adult ticks from a laboratory colony were fed in a membrane-based AFS. For comparison, other A. tonelliae adults were fed on calf and rabbit. The proportions of attached (AFS: 76%; calf/rabbit: 100%) and engorged females (AFS: 47.4%; calf/rabbit: 100%) in the AFS were significantly lower compared to animal-based feeding (p = 0.0265). The engorgement weight of in vitro fed ticks (𝑥̲ = 658 mg; SD ± 259.80) did not significantly differ from that of ticks fed on animals (p = 0.3272, respectively 0.0947). The proportion of females that oviposited was 100% for all three feeding methods. However, the incubation period of eggs (𝑥̲ = 54 days; SD ± 7) was longer in the AFS compared to conventional animal-based feeding (p = 0.0014); 𝑥̲ = 45 days; SD ± 2 in the rabbit and (p = 0.0144). 𝑥̲ = 48 days; SD ± 2 in the calf). Egg cluster hatching (𝑥̲ = 41%; SD ± 44.82) was lower in the AFS than in the other feeding methods (rabbit: 𝑥̲ = 74%; SD ± 20; p = 0.0529; calf: 𝑥̲ = 81%; SD ± 22; p = 0.0256). Although the attachment, development, and the hatching of AFS ticks were below those from animal-based feeding, the method may be useful in future experiments. Nevertheless, further experiments with a higher number of tick specimens (including immature life stages) and different attractant stimuli are required to confirm the preliminary results of this study and to evaluate the applicability of AFS for Amblyomma ticks as an alternative to animal-based feeding methods.
Transformer-based Transfer Learning for Breast Cancer Detection via Digital Breast Tomosynthesis

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Breast cancer has emerged as the most prevalent form of cancer worldwide and the leading cause of mortality from any cancer in women, emphasising the critical need for its early detection. Traditional 2D mammography has long been the cornerstone of breast cancer screening, given its proven efficacy in early prognosis and reduction of mortality. However, the limitations of this modality have precipitated the development and adoption of more advanced imaging techniques, such as Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT), which yields a 3D view of the breast. The application of deep learning to classify these scans is paramount to increasing the efficiency and efficacy of screening. However, this task presents arduous challenges such as high computational demands, scarcity of diverse data, and generalisation across varying demographics and imaging equipment. Transfer learning has proven to be effective in overcoming these challenges by enabling models to leverage pre-existing knowledge and adapt to new tasks. However, its application to DBT has been confined to Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures. Meanwhile, the Transformer paradigm, which has revolutionised various deep learning domains and shown promise in traditional mammography, has yet to be explored in the context of DBT via transfer learning, highlighting a notable research gap. This study thus investigates the performance of a pre-trained Transformer model, fine-tuned on a public DBT dataset, comparing it with a fine-tuned state-of-the-art CNN. While the Transformer outperforms the convolutional architecture, the results reveal severe challenges posed by the imbalanced dataset, with models developing biases towards the majority class. Data augmentation, while beneficial, could not fully address the issue, and the need for more diverse datasets became clear. Moreover, the results underscore the importance of preserving the high resolution of DBT images, with fine-grained details, such as subtle changes in breast tissue captured at higher resolutions, proving to be pivotal for accurate diagnosis. Finally, a comparative analysis between CNNs and transformer-based models revealed that Transformers excel in recognising broader patterns across the entire image, which aids to mitigate overfitting. By using pre-trained transformers and fine-tuning them on this dataset, their effectiveness was highlighted, suggesting they can match or even surpass CNNs in breast cancer detection via DBT.

description: In spite of the key role that individual rights play in the EU legal system from its origins up to this day, the lack of effectiveness of those rights is a major problem for the functioning and the legitimacy of this system. This paper argues that enhancing rights consciousness across society can help make individual rights more effective and strengthen individual and collective confidence in the EU’s legal system. The paper follows the following structure: firstly, a brief reminder of the nature, function and value of rights in the EU legal system; secondly, a discussion of rights consciousness as a precondition for rights effectiveness; thirdly, an overview of the EU’s current – uneven – efforts at enhancing rights consciousness. A few suggestions are formulated as to how to progress towards this objective. Keywords: individual rights, rights consciousness, effectiveness, due diligence, rule of law culture

description: Entanglement and entropy are key concepts standing at the foundations of quantum and statistical mechanics, respectively. In the last decade the study of quantum quenches revealed that these two concepts are intricately intertwined. Although the unitary time evolution ensuing from a pure initial state maintains the system globally at zero entropy, at long time after the quench local properties are captured by an appropriate statistical ensemble with non zero thermodynamic entropy, which can be interpreted as the entanglement accumulated during the dynamics. Therefore, understanding the post-quench entanglement evolution unveils how thermodynamics emerges in isolated quantum systems. An exact computation of the entanglement dynamics has been provided only for non-interacting systems, and it was believed to be unfeasible for genuinely interacting models. Conversely, here we show that the standard quasiparticle picture of the entanglement evolution, complemented with integrability-based knowledge of the asymptotic state, leads to a complete analytical understanding of the entanglement dynamics in the space-time scaling limit. Our framework requires only knowledge about the steady state, and the velocities of the low-lying excitations around it. We provide a thorough check of our result focusing on the spin-1/2 Heisenberg XXZ chain, and considering quenches from several initial states. We compare our results with numerical simulations using both tDMRG and iTEBD, finding always perfect agreement.

description: Helium atom is the simplest many-body electronic system provided by nature. The exact solution to the Schrödinger equation is known for helium ground and excited states, and represents a workbench for any many-body methodology. Here, we check the ab initio many-body GW approximation and Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) against the exact solution for helium. Starting from Hartree-Fock, we show that GW and BSE yield impressively accurate results on excitation energies and oscillator strength, systematically improving time-dependent Hartree-Fock. These findings suggest that the accuracy of BSE and GW approximations is not significantly limited by self-interaction and self-screening problems even in this few electron limit. We further discuss our results in comparison to those obtained by time-dependent density-functional theory.

description: PURPOSE: To present a systematic approach to the reirradiation special medical physics consult (ReRT-SMPC) process. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An in-house reirradiation committee of physicians and physicists was formed to develop a streamlined and well-documented approach to ReRT-SMPCs. Dosimetric goals and considerations for tissue repair were generated by the committee with input from the literature, clinical trial guidelines, and physician experience. Procedural workflow was also defined. RESULTS: The total number of ReRT-SMPCs performed in our department in 2018 was 401, corresponding to 369 unique patients and 16% of the total number of patients receiving external beam radiation in our department that year. This constituted a large increase over the 183 ReRT-SMPCs performed in 2017. We have found that a standardized ReRT-SMPC workflow helps to safeguard patients, documents the clinical decision-making process for medical and legal purposes, and facilitates the peer-review process. The data being collected from each consult along with toxicity and outcomes data can be used to help inform future re-treatment guidelines. CONCLUSIONS: As the number of patients returning for additional courses of radiation continues to increase, a uniform method for the ReRT-SMPC workflow and analysis is a powerful tool for ensuring patient safety, understanding and predicting treatment toxicity, and refining reirradiation dosimetric limits.

description: We study how much data a Bayesian observer needs to correctly infer the relative likelihoods of two events when both events are arbitrarily rare. Each period, either a blue die or a red die is tossed. The two dice land on side $1$ with unknown probabilities $p_1$ and $q_1$, which can be arbitrarily low. Given a data-generating process where $p_1\ge c q_1$, we are interested in how much data is required to guarantee that with high probability the observer's Bayesian posterior mean for $p_1$ exceeds $(1-δ)c$ times that for $q_1$. If the prior densities for the two dice are positive on the interior of the parameter space and behave like power functions at the boundary, then for every $ε>0,$ there exists a finite $N$ so that the observer obtains such an inference after $n$ periods with probability at least $1-ε$ whenever $np_1\ge N$. The condition on $n$ and $p_1$ is the best possible. The result can fail if one of the prior densities converges to zero exponentially fast at the boundary.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of selected human resource management practices on employee turnover intention of the Civil Employees of the Federal Police Commission Specifically, it looked at how "Selection", "Remuneration, Reward and Recognition", and "Training and Career Development", affect turnover intention. The study was carried out in the Head Office in Addis Ababa and Sendafa. Managerial and Non-Managerial employees, Janitors, Laborers, Cooks and Physicians and Health Professionals were included in the sample. Multistage sampling was used to select a sample size of 291 employees from the five sectors in Addis Ababa and Sendafa. Both descriptive and inferential statistical techniques were used to analyze the data. A multiple regression analysis was conducted to test how well the selected human resource management practices could predict turnover intention. The findings highlight the fact that the selected human resource management practices; selection, training and career development, have been found vital to employees and indeed influence turnover intention. To improve employees' turnover intention, it is recommended that, the Commission should examine the effectiveness of its selection process and conducting better remuneration reward and recognition scheme and the training and career development practice of the organization needs to be re-established for the civil employees

description: We consider the design of a revenue-optimal mechanism when two items are available to be sold to a single buyer whose valuation is uniformly distributed over an arbitrary rectangle $[c_1,c_1+b_1]\times[c_2,c_2+b_2]$ in the positive quadrant. We provide an explicit, complete solution for arbitrary nonnegative values of $(c_1,c_2,b_1,b_2)$. We identify eight simple structures, each with at most $4$ (possibly stochastic) menu items, and prove that the optimal mechanism has one of these eight structures. We also characterize the optimal mechanism as a function of $(c_1,c_2,b_1,b_2)$. The structures indicate that the optimal mechanism involves (a) an interplay of individual sale and a bundle sale when $c_1$ and $c_2$ are low, (b) a bundle sale when $c_1$ and $c_2$ are high, and (c) an individual sale when one of them is high and the other is low. To the best of our knowledge, our results are the first to show the existence of optimal mechanisms with no exclusion region. We further conjecture, based on promising preliminary results, that our methodology can be extended to a wider class of distributions.

description: The intention of this study is to provide new insights into post-tonal music through exploration of cell functions in the solo piano music of three composers—Béla Bartók, Chen Yi, and George Crumb. This study surveys the application of pitch cells in contrasting compositional contexts that range from authentic folk tunes to more abstract material. Two of these works—Chen’s Northern Scenes and Crumb’s Eine Kleine Mitternachtmusik—have not been previously analyzed in scholarly documents. Cells have provided a new means of pitch organization in post-tonal music in place of triadic harmonies of the traditional major/minor system, serving as points of departure and return. They provide a new means of progression as pivots between larger pitch collections. Bartók can be seen as a kind of father figure to the two living composers, Chen and Crumb, both of whom explicitly stated him as influential in their compositional development. In Bartók’s music, cellular pivots occur in compositions heavily influenced by traditional folk material, as exemplified by Eight Improvisations on Hungarian Peasant Songs, Op. 20. Chen often relies on the absorption of Chinese folk material, as in Duo Ye, Guessing, Ba Ban, and Ji-Dong-Nuo. In contrast, Crumb’s use of cells is almost entirely within an abstract context, as shown in Makrokosmos, Volume I and A Little Suite for Christmas, A.D. 1979, his Eine Kleine Mitternachtmusik based on Monk’s jazz tune. Other more abstract compositions include Bartók’s Mikrokosmos and Out of Doors and Chen’s Northern Scenes. These traditional and abstract contexts include a range of constructions from pentatonic, diatonic/modal, polymodal, and Romanian folk mode, to whole-tone, octatonic, and chromatic materials, all integrated through cellular pivots. This study of a relatively small body of works is a microcosmic reflection of the compositional techniques of many Contemporary-era composers, including Debussy, Scriabin, Stravinsky, Schoenberg, de Falla, and Babbitt. The study provides insights into all-encompassing concepts and principles that occur in the post-tonal era and reveals a broader evolution of the musical language as represented by the three composers

description: Effective employees training minimize the gap between actual required skill to do the job and existing skills in new employees. The main purpose of training and development is by improving the employee competencies so that organizations can maximize efficiency and effectiveness of their human assets. The problem related to training in many organizations is that the outcomes of training are not properly evaluated.Therefore; the objective of the study was to assess the effect of training and development on employee performance in context of Gulelle Sub-city administration sector. Training design, objective and delivery style are used as a variable. This paper is quantitative in nature. The study use survey research design.The research is based on primary data. The primary data was collected using self-administered questioners distributed to 141 respondents taken as sample size from different sectors. The researcher used SPSS 20, descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analysis to analyze the data collected and to evaluate the relationship between the two variables. The result of the study signifies that there is a positive and significant relationship between training and employee performance in the context of Gulelle Sub-city administration sector's training and development was found to be a positive predictor of employee performance, administrators should engage in increasing the qualities and quantities of the training program so as to increase their employee's performance

description: Es de nuestro interés estudiar las interacciones verbales y extra verbales que se dan, dentro del templo, entre el pastor y los feligreses; es decir, ver la selección de procesos retóricosdiscursivos a través de los cuales, el pastor revela las intenciones comunicativas que usa para transmitir dichos mensajes y cómo éstos son comprendidos por los feligreses, quienes, en última instancia, construyen el sentido del discurso transmitido. En un sentido general, analizáremos las estrategias discursivas utilizadas por el pastor, de la Iglesia Cristiana Evangélica Misión Boston, Álvaro Vanegas; las cuales, tienen como fin persuadir, atraer y mantener a la comunidad que lo escucha (feligreses), dentro y fuera de su congregación. Más específicamente, identificaremos las estrategias discursivas que se dan dentro del discurso religioso de la Iglesia Cristiana Evangélica Misión Boston; además, identificaremos cómo desde la retórica se estructuran las estrategias discursivas, para construir un discurso religioso persuasivo. También, describiremos y explicaremos las interacciones que se dan, entre el pastor y el público-oyente, al momento de transmitir el discurso religioso; y, finalmente, interpretaremos las influencias del contexto dentro del mensaje. Para esto, tendremos en cuenta la estructuración de los mensajes, el estilo que usa el pastor en su puesta en escena y el contexto situacional donde se transmite este discurso. De acuerdo con lo esbozado anteriormente, vale la pena formularse el siguiente interrogante: ¿Cuáles son las estrategias discursivas utilizadas por el pastor de La Iglesia Cristianas Evangélica Misión Boston, Álvaro Vanegas, para persuadir, atraer y mantener a la comunidad que lo escucha (feligreses), dentro y fuera de su congregación?

description: Since the early days of computers and programs, the process and outcomes of software development has been a minefield plagued with problems and failures, as much as the complexity and complication of software and its development has increased by a thousandfold in half a century. Over the years, a number of theories, laws, best practices, manifestos and methodologies have emerged, with varied degrees of (un)success. Our experience as software engineers of complex and large-scale systems shows that those guidelines are bound to previously defined and often narrow scopes. Enough is enough. Nowadays, nearly every company is in the software and services business and everything is - or is managed by - software. It is about time, then, that the laws that govern our universe ought to be redefined. In this context, we discuss and present a set of universal laws that leads us to propose the first commandment of software engineering for all varieties of information systems.

description: Herein, we aim to explore the efficiency of graphene in scavenging the carcinogenic methane diazonium ions (CH3N2+) which are capable of methylating DNA and other biomolecules readily. Therefore, methylation of graphene (pristine and S-doped) by CH3N2+ was investigated theoretically using density functional theory. Our calculations show that graphene (both pristine and S-doped) can be readily methylated by CH3N2+. However, as S-doped graphene exhibited better reactivity than pristine graphene, we believe that the former would act as a better scavenger for CH3N2+ than the latter one.

description: Background Postpartum depression is a major public health concern, which is associated with negative consequences for both mothers and children. Unfortunately, many affected women neither understand the warning signs of postpartum depression nor do they know where to seek help. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of SmartMoms, a German mobile web application (web app) designed to inform women about postpartum depression, support them, and provide an easily accessible self-screening instrument. Methods After its development, SmartMoms was distributed through healthcare providers and social media. Feasibility was assessed by examining (1) the experience of postpartum women with the web app, (2) user behaviour, and (3) the experience of healthcare providers with the web app and its distribution. A mixed methods approach was used, including online surveys, usage data, and interviews. Results Most women used SmartMoms to prevent postpartum depression and rated the web app as good (on average 4.36 out of 5 stars). The majority of women (62.2%) accessing the self-screening instrument showed a risk for postpartum depression (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression scale score ≥ 12). Most providers (n = 12/13) felt supported through SmartMoms in discussing postpartum depression and considered it a useful offer. Suggestions for improvement were provided. Conclusions SmartMoms meets the needs and expectations of mothers and healthcare providers interested in postpartum depression but should be further adapted to include more specific support options and additional information for professionals.
