Elizabeth of Hardwick and epistolary negotiations : | author: Madeline Chatfield.: noblewomen and sixteenth-century English politics
Creators: name: Chatfield, Madeline
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis analyses the ways in which English noblewomen used epistolary conventions and letter-writing to engage as agents in the political sphere of sixteenth-century England. It provides a long-term historical context to current discourses, both public and scholarly, about the place and function of women as actors in the political sphere. This thesis presents a case study of one English noblewoman, Elizabeth of Hardwick, whose life marked a gradual ascent from the landed gentry to the heights of the English aristocracy, and who remains one of Tudor England’s most prolific letter writers. Through a close reading of Elizabeth’s correspondence, this thesis will demonstrate how it was possible for noblewomen toact as political agents in sixteenth-century England while simultaneously being historically disenfranchised individuals. I argue that Elizabeth of Hardwick utilised epistolary conventions such as gendered appeals to motherhood and textual structures based on the Ciceronian tradition of public political language in letters to members of her social network to maintain powerful political connections and to exert influence upon institutional political processes.

description: In some recent papers, the studies on biorthogonal Riesz bases has found a renewed motivation because of their connection with pseudo-hermitian Quantum Mechanics, which deals with physical systems described by Hamiltonians which are not self-adjoint but still may have real point spectra. Also, their eigenvectors may form Riesz, not necessarily orthonormal, bases for the Hilbert space in which the model is defined. Those Riesz bases allow a decomposition of the Hamiltonian, as already discussed is some previous papers. However, in many physical models, one has to deal not with o.n. bases or with Riesz bases, but just with biorthogonal sets. Here, we consider the more general concept of $\mathcal{G}$-quasi basis and we show a series of conditions under which a definition of non self-adjoint Hamiltonian with purely point real spectra is still possible.

Subjects: subject: Dynamical Systems (math.DS)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Let (M,d) be a compact metric space and f:M --> M an expansive homeomorphism. We define Lyapunov exponents L(f,m)_{max} and l(f,mu)_{min} for an f-invariant measure m. When L(f,m)_{max} > 0 and l(f,mu)_{min} < 0 can be interpreted as a weak form of hyperbolicity for f. We prove that if M is a Peano space then there is g>0 such that L(f,m)_{max} > g and l(f,m)_{min}< - g. We also show that the hypothesis that M is a Peano space is necessary to obtain the maximal Lyapunov exponent positive and the minimal Lyapunov exponent negative. Moreover we define Lyapunov exponents for K, a compact f-invariant subset of M and prove that if the maximal Lyapunov exponent of K is negative then K is an attractor. When f is a diffeomorphism on a compact manifold, these Lyapunov exponents coincide with the usual ones.

description: The near field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) is not only a tool for imaging of objects in the sub wavelength limit but also a prominent characteristic tool for understanding the intrinsic properties of the nanostructures. The effect of strong localized surface plasmon resonance absorption of excitation laser in the NSOM images for Au nanoparticles is observed. The role of electronic transitions from different native defect related energy states of AlGaN are also discussed in understanding the NSOM images for the semiconductor nanowire.

description: Reverse Monte Carlo modeling of liquid water, based on one neutron and one X-ray diffraction data set, applying also the most popular interatomic potential for water, SPC/E, has been performed. The strictly rigid geometry of SPC/E water molecules had to be loosened somewhat, in order to be able to produce a good fit to both sets of experimental data. In the final particle configurations, regularly shaped water molecules and straight hydrogen bonding angles were found to be consistent with diffraction results. It has been demonstrated that explicit use of interatomic potentials in RMC has a role to play in future structural modeling of water and aqueous solutions.

Ethno-tribal politics in Nigeria: colonial foundations, postcolonial reconstructions
Creators: name: Sulemana, Mohammed
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Nigeria is known for its perverse and ferocious web of ethno-tribal identity politics. Since the early post-independent years, problems associated with ethno-tribalism have posed a significant challenge to the country's progress. In searching for a political institutional response, Nigeria at independence adopted the federal spirit upon which imperial Britain founded its Nigerian colony in 1914. Federalism, an entirely foreign and novice political system, was to become not only a solution to the plethora of economic and political problems but just as importantly it was perceived as the sole remedy to the endless legacy of upheaval, disunity and conflict. However, after half a century of attempts, the country is plagued by intransigencies associated with ethno-tribal politics. From this background, this research brings a fresh perspective to Nigeria's protracted ethnic challenge by answering questions like: why has ethnicity continued to remain decisive in postcolonial Nigeria? And why has ethno-federalism done little to rid the Nigerian postcolonial state of the autocratic legacies of colonialism? The thesis employs an historical method, Africanist and postcolonial themes and draws from the frameworks of prominent authors such as Eric Hobsbawm, Benedict Anderson and crucially Mahmood Mamdani. This thesis argues that the federal solution to Nigeria's ethnic challenge failed because; firstly, its socio-legal character has glorified autocratic colonial traditions, and secondly, federalism represented an obsession with high politics to the detriment of how the socio-legal foundation of postcolonial institutions create ethnic sentiments on the low, everyday spheres of society. The thesis therefore argues that a policy that is meant to respond to the enduring and negative manifestations of ethno-tribalism must focus on the multiple political arenas of Nigerian society: a departure from measures applied thus far.

description: Background: Treatment success among HIV+ persons under an antiretroviral regimen strongly rely on individual factors. Objective: To test the variables of a psychological model and the influence of alcohol and drugs use in the prediction of medication-adherence behaviors. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 124 HIV+ persons recruited in an outpatient clinic in the state of Lara, Venezuela, who completed a self-administered questionnaire measuring psychological variables and medication-adherence behaviors, as well as an index of alcohol and drugs use. Moment-product correlation and structural equation modeling were applied for data analyses. Results: Current behavioral competencies showed a direct effect on medication-adherence behaviors, mediating the indirect effect of low alcohol and drugs use. The structural equation modeling demonstrated a good fit to the sample data: χ2 / gl = 1.42, GFI = 0.99, AGFI = 0.94, NFI = 0.98, CFI = 0.99, FD = 0.02 [FDMI = 1.13], PNCP = 0.01 [PNCPMI = 1.08], RMSEA = 0.05, RMSSR = 0.04. Conclusion: Behavioral competencies and low alcohol and drugs use were significant predictors of medication-adherence behaviors. Further research direction, including national wide of HIV+ persons from Venezuela and the development of interdisciplinary interventions that promote and sustain medication-adherence behaviors are discussed.

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Integrons are genetic elements that promote rapid adaptation in bacteria by capturing exogenous mobile gene cassettes. Recently, a sub-set of gene cassettes have facilitated the global spread of antibiotic resistance, however, outside of clinical settings, very little is known about the function and ecology of these cassettes. Here, I sequenced whole cassettes from soils sampled across Australia and Antarctica, and recovered 44,970 cassettes that encoded 27,215 unique proteins. This represents an order of magnitude more cassettes than previous sequencing efforts. Cassettes had extremely high local richness, with estimates ranging from 4,000 to 18,000 unique cassettes per 0.3 grams of soil. Gene cassettes exhibited a rapid spatial turnover and had a heterogeneous distribution across space. More than 84% encoded unknown proteins, 64% of which had no homologs in existing databases. These findings provide insights into gene cassette ecology, and highlight the diversity in this metagenome. This diversity can generate genomic complexity and drive bacterial evolution. I also explore the potential use of integron gene cassettes in accelerating the discovery of novel proteins. The gene cassette metagenome represents a huge untapped resource that provides an efficient means to shed light on the dark matter of the protein universe. This resource is thus of substantial biotechnological importance, particularly for developing small-molecule therapeutics and engineering molecular tools.

We write the Hamiltonian of this problem in terms of the boson generators of the $SU(1,1)$ group and the difference operator. We apply the tilting transformation to our results to exactly solve this Hamiltonian and obtain its energy spectrum and eigenfunctions. Then, by assuming that our Hamiltonian is an explicit function of time we calculate its Berry phase. Finally we obtain the Mandel $Q-$parameter of the photon numbers $n_a$ and $n_b$.

description: Background: Since its first detection in Manipur in the early 1990’s among a group of injecting drug users, HIV/AIDS has spread rapidly into the general population. Manipur is now one of the six high HIV/AIDS prevalence states in India. According to Manipur State AIDS control society (MSACS), HIV/AIDS is also a highly misunderstood and stigmatised disease in the state. Objective: The purpose of this study is to assess and understand knowledge, attitude, behaviour and practice towards HIV/AIDS in Manipur. Methods: A cross sectional descriptive study using random sampling was carried out among the local community in Chandel district, Manipur, India. A semi-structured interview on KABP was conducted among 100 study participants who were non-HIV. Data were analysed using SPSS 12.0. Results: The study found a good level of knowledge on HIV/AIDS transmission and prevention, but there were misconceptions. There was discrepancy between knowledge and attitude, and between knowledge and behaviour/practice. Sociocultural and religious misconceptions about the disease and towards people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA) was observed to take precedence over medical facts. In addition, local communities rely heavily on unreliable sources such as local gossip and church for HIV/AIDS information and this was found to be the main cause for misconception and stigmatisation against HIV/AIDS and PLHA. The study population was also found to be at risk for HIV infection as practice of safe sex was inconsistent and poorly maintained. Conclusion: The findings suggest that there is a strong need to address socio-cultural and religious misconceptions about HIV/AIDS in Manipur. Accurate and reliable information on HIV/AIDS is needed for the dissemination programmes. To help mitigate misconceptions and stigmatisation, socio-religious leaders who play an important role in influencing community’s perception and behaviour towards HIV/AIDS need to be properly educated about the disease. The study identified a need for connecting local communities with reliable sources of information pertaining to HIV/AIDS and to mobilise the communities to adopt safe sex practices.
Model microswimmers in channels with varying cross section

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: We study different types of microswimmers moving in channels with varying cross section and thereby interacting hydrodynamically with the channel walls. Starting from the Smoluchowski equation for a dilute suspension, for which interactions among swimmers can be neglected, we derive analytic expressions for the lateral probability distribution between plane channel walls. For weakly corrugated channels we extend the Fick--Jacobs approach to microswimmers and thereby derive an effective equation for the probability distribution along the channel axis. Two regimes arise dominated either by entropic forces due to the geometrical confinement or by the active motion. In particular, our results show that the accumulation of microswimmers at channel walls is sensitive to both, the underlying swimming mechanism and the geometry of the channels. Finally, for asymmetric channel corrugation our model predicts a rectification of microswimmers along the channel, the strength and direction of which strongly depends on the swimmer type.

Diagnostic potential of autofluorescence: an explorative study with human urine and stem cells
Creators: name: Perinchery, Sandeep Menon
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Most of the biological samples contain molecules, some of which fluoresce when excited by UV/Vis radiation of suitable wavelength (fluorophores). The fluorescence arising from these endogenous fluorophores is an intrinsic property of the sample and is called autofluorescence. In principle, autofluorescence may serve as a useful diagnostic indicator. In the past, autofluorescence has been used to diagnose various diseases including cancer. In this study, I have investigated the autofluorescence of human urine and stem cells, two medically relevant biological materials. With an estimated 150 million instances occurring every year globally and accounting for more than 6 billion dollars in direct health care expenditure, urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common infections in the human population. UTIs can differ in severity, and are treatable if detected early. Left untreated, they can cause lasting damage, chronic kidney disease, and even death from kidney failure. In recent years, several novel approaches have been attempted to diagnose the urinary tract infection. These include immuno-chromatography strips, real time PCR and biosensors. However, they have some limitations. For example, most of the techniques are reagent based, need sample preparation prior to diagnosis, have less sample throughput, are sensitive only to specific bacteria and are expensive. Human urine contains a large number of fluorophores (mostly tryptophan and its metabolites) which can fluoresce under UV excitation. Due to their presence, normal urine has strong fluorescence. Although pathological and physiological changes are known to alter the autofluorescence of urine, there is a shortage of studies investigating autofluorescence as a diagnostic tool for UTIs.
The relation between stretched-exponential relaxation and the vibrational density of states in glassy disordered systems

description: Amorphous solids or glasses are known to exhibit stretched-exponential decay over broad time intervals in several of their macroscopic observables: intermediate scattering function, dielectric relaxation modulus, time-elastic modulus etc. This behaviour is prominent especially near the glass transition. In this Letter we show, on the example of dielectric relaxation, that stretched-exponential relaxation is intimately related to the peculiar lattice dynamics of glasses. By reformulating the Lorentz model of dielectric matter in a more general form, we express the dielectric response as a function of the vibrational density of states (DOS) for a random assembly of spherical particles interacting harmonically with their nearest-neighbours. Surprisingly we find that near the glass transition for this system (which coincides with the Maxwell rigidity transition), the dielectric relaxation is perfectly consistent with stretched-exponential behaviour with Kohlrausch exponents $0.56 < β< 0.65$, which is the range where exponents are measured in most experimental systems. Crucially, the root cause of stretched-exponential relaxation can be traced back to soft modes (boson-peak) in the DOS.

Structure of liquid--vapor interfaces: perspectives from liquid state theory, large-scale simulations, and potential grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction

description: Grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) is a scattering technique which allows one to characterize the structure of fluid interfaces down to the molecular scale, including the measurement of the surface tension and of the interface roughness. However, the corresponding standard data analysis at non-zero wave numbers has been criticized as to be inconclusive because the scattering intensity is polluted by the unavoidable scattering from the bulk. Here we overcome this ambiguity by proposing a physically consistent model of the bulk contribution which is based on a minimal set of assumptions of experimental relevance. To this end, we derive an explicit integral expression for the background scattering, which can be determined numerically from the static structure factors of the coexisting bulk phases as independent input. Concerning the interpretation of GIXRD data inferred from computer simulations, we account also for the finite sizes of the bulk phases, which are unavoidable in simulations. The corresponding leading-order correction beyond the dominant contribution to the scattered intensity is revealed by asymptotic analysis, which is characterized by the competition between the linear system size and the X-ray penetration depth in the case of simulations. Specifically, we have calculated the expected GIXRD intensity for scattering at the planar liquid--vapor interface of Lennard-Jones fluids with truncated pair interactions via extensive, high-precision simulations. The reported data cover interfacial and bulk properties of fluid states along the whole liquid--vapor coexistence line. A sensitivity analysis demonstrates the robustness of our findings concerning the detailed definition of the mean interface position. We conclude that previous claims of an enhanced surface tension at mesoscopic scales are amenable to unambiguous tests via scattering experiments.

description: Sexual activity without protection predisposes HIV infected individuals to re-infection of different strains and faster progression to AIDS. With advance treatment and sense of well being, sexual activities among patients, continues. The present study using a multivariate design examined prevalence of sexual activity, unprotected sex and associated factors. HIV related factors (e.g.; drug use combination; knowledge of duration of HIV diagnosis) and Socio demographic factors (e.g.; multiple spouse; age, gender, ethnicity) were involved in a model of unprotected sex among HIV/AIDS patients seeking treatment in three tertiary Hospitals in Nigeria. Five hundred and two, (187(37.3%) males and 315 (62.7%) females) HIV/AIDS patients participated in the study. Mean age and mean time in months since diagnosis were 36.73 ± 9.38; 19.42 ± 23.12 respectively. Two hundred and sixty four (48%) were sexually active. One hundred and fifty three (58%) engaged in unprotected sex. Two variables: educational status and marital status were related to unprotected sex at (p<0.05). Median differences with KruskalWallis H tests showed highest level of education, p = 0.018), and being currently married, p = 0.009 were associated with unprotected sex. Intervention to reduce unprotected sex among married patients with higher education should evolve among PLWHAs in Nigeria.

description: We show how analogues of a large number of well-known nonlinear-optics phenomena can be realized with one or more two-level atoms coupled to one or more resonator modes. Through higher-order processes, where virtual photons are created and annihilated, an effective deterministic coupling between two states of such a system can be created. In this way, analogues of three-wave mixing, four-wave mixing, higher-harmonic and -subharmonic generation (i.e., up- and downconversion), multiphoton absorption, parametric amplification, Raman and hyper-Raman scattering, the Kerr effect, and other nonlinear processes can be realized. The effective coupling becomes weaker the more intermediate transition steps are needed. However, given the recent experimental progress in ultrastrong light-matter coupling, especially in the field of circuit quantum electrodynamics, we estimate that many of these nonlinear-optics analogues can be realized with currently available technology.

Subjects: Diseases

description: Patients with HIV represents a unique and often seemingly daunting challenge for nephrologists, as these patients often have many multi-system issues, and are on a mix of medications that are not well known or often prescribed by non-infectious disease specialists. HIV is a risk factor for acute kidney injury (AKI)/ chronic kidney disease (CKD), and there is a wide spectrum of renal disease that occurs in these patients, including those directly caused by the virus, and medication toxicities. Once the renal disease is advanced, these patients can also provoke difficult decisions regarding the issues of kidney biopsy, dialysis, and transplant. The nephrologist requires a working knowledge of the current state of overall HIV management, so that they can help with the prevention and treatment of acute and chronic kidney disease, within the multi-disciplinary HIV team.

description: The mechanical failure of amorphous media is a ubiquitous phenomenon from material engineering to geology. It has been noticed for a long time that the phenomenon is "scale-free", indicating some type of criticality. In spite of attempts to invoke "Self-Organized Criticality", the physical origin of this criticality, and also its universal nature, being quite insensitive to the nature of microscopic interactions, remained elusive. Recently we proposed that the precise nature of this critical behavior is manifested by a spinodal point of a thermodynamic phase transition. Moreover, at the spinodal point there exists a divergent correlation length which is associated with the system-spanning instabilities (known also as shear bands) which are typical to the mechanical yield. Demonstrating this requires the introduction of an "order parameter" that is suitable for distinguishing between disordered amorphous systems, and an associated correlation function, suitable for picking up the growing correlation length. The theory, the order parameter, and the correlation functions used are universal in nature and can be applied to any amorphous solid that undergoes mechanical yield. Critical exponents for the correlation length divergence and the system size dependence are estimated. The phenomenon is seen at its sharpest in athermal systems, as is explained below; in this paper we extend the discussion also to thermal systems, showing that at sufficiently high temperatures the spinodal phenomenon is destroyed by thermal fluctuations.

description: We select a sample of 1,437 active galactic nuclei (AGN) from the catalog of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) galaxy properties from the Portsmouth group by detection of the high-ionization [Ne V] 3426 Å emission line. We compare the fluxes of [Ne III] 3869 Å, [O III] 5007 Å, [O II] 3726, 3728 Å, and [O I] 6300 Å to that of [Ne V]. All four lines show a strong linear correlation with [Ne V], although lines from ions with lower ionization potentials have a lower correlation coefficient. We investigate the use of two forbidden-line ratio (FLR) diagnostic diagrams that do not rely on H$α$ in order to classify high redshift galaxies. These use the [Ne III]/[O II] line ratio plotted against [O III]/[O I] and [O III]/[O II] respectively. We use photo-ionization modeling to characterize the behavior of the narrow-line region in AGN and star-forming regions and test the validity of our diagnostic diagrams. We also use a luminosity cutoff of log L[OIII] [erg/s] = 42, which lowers the contamination of the AGN region by star-forming galaxies down to 10% but does not remove Green Pea and Purple Grape galaxies from the AGN region. We also investigate the OHNO diagram which uses [Ne III]/[O II] plotted against [O III]/H$β$. Using our new diagnostic diagrams, we are able to reliably classify AGN up to a redshift of z $\leq$ 1.06, and add more than 822 new AGN to the [Ne V]-selected AGN sample.

description: We establish some basic properties of quotients of projective Fraïssé limits and exhibit some classes of compact metric spaces that are the quotient of a projective Fraïssé limit of a projective Fraïssé family in a finite language. We prove the result for the arcs directly, and by applying some closure properties we obtain all hypercubes and graphs as well.

description: We show that the blocks of category O for the Lie superalgebra q_n associated to half-integral weights carry the structure of a tensor product categorification for the infinite rank Kac-Moody algebra of type C. This allows us to prove two conjectures formulated by Cheng, Kwon and Lam. We then focus on the full subcategory consisting of finite-dimensional representations, which we show is a highest weight category with blocks that are Morita equivalent to certain generalized Khovanov arc algebras.

The project was totally driven by students from Iraqi and Swedish universities.
Recursive decoding of Reed-Muller codes

Subjects: subject: Information Theory (cs.IT)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: New soft- and hard decision decoding algorithms are presented for general Reed-Muller codes $\left\{\genfrac{}{}{0pt}{}{m}{r}\right\} $ of length $2^{m}$ and distance $2^{m-r}$. We use Plotkin $(u,u+v)$ construction and decompose code $\left\{\genfrac{}{}{0pt}{}{m}{r}\right\} $ onto subblocks $u\in\left\{\genfrac{}{}{0pt}{}{m-1}{r}\right\} $ and $v\in\left\{\genfrac{}{}{0pt}{}{m-1}{r-1}\right\} .$ In decoding, we first try to find a subblock $v$ from the better protected code and then proceed with the block $u$. The likelihoods of the received symbols are recalculated in a way similar to belief propagation. Thus, decoding is relegated to the two constituent codes. We repeat this recursion and execute decoding only at the end nodes $\left\{\genfrac{}{}{0pt}{}{j}{1}\right\} $ and $\left\{\genfrac{}{}{0pt}{}{j}{j-1}\right\} $. The overall complexity has low order of $n\log n.$ It is shown that this decoding substantially outperforms other algorithms of polynomial complexity known for RM codes. In particular, for medium and high code rates, the algorithm corrects most error patterns of weight $d\ln d/2.$
Defining diversity in Mauretania's abolition movement

description: Meanings of identity and recognition are mobilising forces within Mauritania’s marginalised class of newly freed slaves (Black Moors or Haratine). This thesis explores the meanings and approaches to freedom and the abolition of slavery, within and alongside, the Haratine community and manifestations of agency in Mauritania, particularly around ideas of self-worth. The Mauritanian government officially ended slavery in 1981 (Marlin and Mathewson 2015, p.3) and since that time has failed to address structural racism, the existence of de-facto slavery, and religious attitudes toward inculcation of the Haratine. These external factors are additional to an already disenfranchised community. This ethnography examines narrations of empowerment and the embodiment of agency that go against societal and structural forces of discrimination, to demonstrate that human resilience and mobilisation are transformational meanings of identity.
Efficient Representation of Quantum Many-body States with Deep Neural Networks

description: The challenge of quantum many-body problems comes from the difficulty to represent large-scale quantum states, which in general requires an exponentially large number of parameters. Recently, a connection has been made between quantum many-body states and the neural network representation (\textit{arXiv:1606.02318}). An important open question is what characterizes the representational power of deep and shallow neural networks, which is of fundamental interest due to popularity of the deep learning methods. Here, we give a rigorous proof that a deep neural network can efficiently represent most physical states, including those generated by any polynomial size quantum circuits or ground states of many body Hamiltonians with polynomial-size gaps, while a shallow network through a restricted Boltzmann machine cannot efficiently represent those states unless the polynomial hierarchy in computational complexity theory collapses.

description: The most important strength of this study was the ability to collect data in three levels: individual patient level in clinics, private pharmacies dispensing patterns and public awareness about antibiotics. We could not collect data about the amount of antibiotics dispensed in terms of DDD because of limitation of sources. More studies needed to be conducted at both the national and individual levels to build up a database about antibiotic use for a better surveillance system.

description: Antiretroviral drugs reduce viral replication in pregnant women either by lowering plasma viral load or through postexposure prophylaxis in their new born. Mother to child transmission is the predominant mode of transmission of HIV in infants and young children. This transmission occurs during pregnancy, labour and delivery and breastfeeding. Providing all HIV positive pregnant women with lifelong ARVs regardless of CD4 count/disease stage is an effective strategy to avert MTCT of HIV. Eliminating vertical transmissions globally is still a challenge. In Busia district, the uptake of antiretroviral drugs by HIV positive pregnant women is about 41%. Despite the varied interventions employed to avert MTCT a number of exposed babies have been seroconversion. Objective: Factors influencing utilization of ARVs by HIV positive pregnant women. Methods: Cross sectional study was done through Purposive and random sampling. The study area and the HIV positive pregnant women were purposively selected. Quantitative approach was employed using standardized questionnaires. Exploratory data analysis was preceded by monovariate analysis. Results were summarized using tables and text. The quantitative data was analyzed by Statistics package of social science. Results: Percentage (30.6%) of women started ARVs in the 3rd trimester. Percentage (37.4%) hides while taking the drugs due to self-stigma and fear of husband. Percentage 57.9% took freely. Half of those who were not on ARVs indicated they were afraid of their husbands while the other half were not willing to take the ARVs. Conclusion: We found out 85% of the women had their first antenatal care visit in the second trimester while (30.6%) started ARVs in the 3rd trimester. ARVs taken for more than 17 weeks reduces the risk of MTCT. Disclosure of HIV status of pregnant women is essential. Male participation in antenatal care, treatment, counselling and testing for HIV, will increase use of interventions for eMTCT.
Procrastination: appraisal and the individual differences that influence delay

description: The aims of this dissertation were two-fold. The first aim was to conduct a literature review on stress appraisal and procrastination. The literature review first defines stress appraisal and procrastination, looks at how they may be related, then looks at conequences of, reasons for, and different types of procrastination, and finally reviews the literature on individual differences (i.e., negative affectivity, perfectionism, and goal orientation) and how they may affect the relationship between stress appraisal and procrastination. The second aim was to study how a person's stress appraisal affected his or her procrastination behaviour, and whether individual differences (i.e., negative affectivity, goal orientation and trait procrastination) affected this relationship. This was reported in a two-study paper. Study 1 looked at a student sample and how they appraised writing an essay; Study 2 looked at a workplace sample and how they appraised role ambiguity and role conflict. Both studies used online self-report questionnaires. Results showed that, for students, trait procrastination played a moderating role on the stress appraisal and procrastination relationship, and for employees, negative affectivity, avoidance goal orientation, and prove goal orientation moderated this relationship. In both studies, threat appraisal had the strongest link to increased procrastination and reasons for procrastinating.
