description: We have performed a survey for new members of the Upper Sco association that have circumstellar disks using mid-infrared photometry from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). Through optical and near-infrared spectroscopy, we have confirmed 185 candidates as likely members of Upper Sco with spectral types ranging from mid-K to M9. They comprise ~36% of the known disk-bearing members of the association. We also have compiled all available mid-infrared photometry from WISE and the Spitzer Space Telescope for the known members of Upper Sco, resulting in a catalog of data for 1608 objects. We have used these data to identify the members that exhibit excess emission from disks and we have classified the evolutionary stages of those disks with criteria similar to those applied in our previous studies of Taurus and Upper Sco. Among 484 members with excesses in at least one band (excluding five Be stars), we classify 296 disks as full, 66 as evolved, 19 as transitional, 22 as evolved or transitional, and 81 as evolved transitional or debris. Many of these disks have not been previously reported, including 129 full disks and 50 disks that are at more advanced evolutionary stages.

Androgen receptor phosphorylation, turnover, nuclear transport, and transcriptional activation : specificity for steroids and antihormones

description: Nuclear transport, phosphorylation, ligand binding, and degradation rate of the recombinant androgen receptor (AR) were analyzed in transfected COS cells in the presence of various steroids and antiandrogens. Transcriptional activation was assessed in CV1 cells by cotransfection with an androgen-responsive chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter vector. Hormone binding specificity of recombinant AR was essentially identical to endogenous AR. AR localized in the nucleus in the presence of methyltrienolone (R1881, a synthetic androgen), dihydrotestosterone, testosterone, hydroxyflutamide, cyproterone acetate, estradiol, progesterone, and RU486. In the absence of hormone or with the antiandrogen, flutamide, AR remained largely in the cytoplasm with a perinuclear distribution. AR was degraded rapidly (t1/2 = 1 h) except in the presence of androgen (t1/2 = 6 h) which accounted for an apparent 2-4-fold androgen-induced increase in AR phosphorylation, indicating that AR phosphorylation was not enhanced by androgen. CAT activity was stimulated by R1881, dihydrotestosterone, testosterone, cyproterone acetate, estradiol, progesterone, and RU486 in a dose-dependent manner. The antiandrogens, flutamide and hydroxyflutamide, lacked agonist activity and inhibited R1881-induced activation of CAT and androgen stabilization of AR. Steroids and antiandrogens with moderate to low affinity for AR promoted both nuclear transport and transcriptional activation but only at high hormone concentrations. Hydroxyflutamide acted as a true antiandrogen since it lacked agonist activity and was an inhibitor of androgen-induced transcriptional activation.

description: The Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha Spectro-Polarimeter (CLASP) is a suborbital rocket experiment that on 3rd September 2015 measured the linear polarization produced by scattering processes in the hydrogen Ly-$α$ line of the solar disk radiation, whose line-center photons stem from the chromosphere-corona transition region (TR). These unprecedented spectropolarimetric observations revealed an interesting surprise, namely that there is practically no center-to-limb variation (CLV) in the $Q/I$ line-center signals. Using an analytical model, we first show that the geometrical complexity of the corrugated surface that delineates the TR has a crucial impact on the CLV of the $Q/I$ and $U/I$ line-center signals. Secondly, we introduce a statistical description of the solar atmosphere based on a three-dimensional (3D) model derived from a state-of-the-art radiation magneto-hydrodynamic simulation. Each realization of the statistical ensemble is a 3D model characterized by a given degree of magnetization and corrugation of the TR, and for each such realization we solve the full 3D radiative transfer problem taking into account the impact of the CLASP instrument degradation on the calculated polarization signals. Finally, we apply the statistical inference method presented in a previous paper to show that the TR of the 3D model that produces the best agreement with the CLASP observations has a relatively weak magnetic field and a relatively high degree of corrugation. We emphasize that a suitable way to validate or refute numerical models of the upper solar chromosphere is by confronting calculations and observations of the scattering polarization in ultraviolet lines sensitive to the Hanle effect.

Association of the Mr 58,000 postsynaptic protein of electric tissue with Torpedo dystrophin and the Mr 87,000 postsynaptic protein

description: Dystrophin was purified by immunoaffinity chromatography from detergent-solubilized Torpedo electric organ postsynaptic membranes using monoclonal antibodies. A major doublet of proteins at Mr 58,000 and minor proteins at Mr 87,000, Mr 45,000, and Mr 30,000 reproducibly copurified with dystrophin. The Mr 58,000 and Mr 87,000 proteins were identical to previously described peripheral membrane proteins (Mr 58,000 protein and 87,000 protein) whose muscle homologs are associated with the sarcolemma (Froehner, S. C., Murnane, A. A., Tobler, M., Peng, H. B., and Sealock, R. (1987) J. Cell Biol. 104, 1633-1646; Carr, C., Fischbach, G. D., and Cohen, J. B. (1989) J. Cell Biol. 109, 1753-1764). The copurification of dystrophin and Mr 58,000 protein was shown to be specific, since dystrophin was also captured with a monoclonal antibody against the Mr 58,000 protein but not by several control antibodies. The Mr 87,000 protein was a major component (along with the Mr 58,000 protein) in material purified on anti-58,000 columns, suggesting that the Mr 58,000 protein forms a distinct complex with the Mr 87,000 protein, as well as with dystrophin. Immunofluorescence staining of skeletal and cardiac muscle from the dystrophin-minus mdx mouse with the anti-58,000 antibody was confined to the sarcolemma as in normal muscle but was much reduced in intensity, even though immunoblotting demonstrated that the contents of Mr 58,000 protein in normal and mdx muscle were comparable. Thus, the Mr 58,000 protein appears to associate inefficiently with the sarcolemmal membrane in the absence of dystrophin. This deficiency may contribute to the membrane abnormalities that lead to muscle necrosis in dystrophic muscle.

description: We calculate the quark part of the kernel of the generalized non-forward BFKL equation at non-zero momentum transfer $t$ in the next-to-leading logarithmic approximation. Along with the quark contribution to the gluon Regge trajectory, this part includes pieces coming from the quark-antiquark production and from the quark contribution to the radiative corrections in one-gluon production in the Reggeon-Reggeon collisions. The results obtained can be used for an arbitrary representation of the colour group in the $t-$channel. Using the results for the adjoint representation, we demonstrate explicitly the fulfillment of the ``bootstrap'' condition for the gluon Reggeization in the next-to-leading logarithmic approximation in the part concerning the quark contribution.

Beta gamma-subunit activation of G-protein-regulated phospholipase C
Creators: name: Waldo, GL

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1992

description: The availability of purified G alpha 11 and the G-protein-regulated phospholipase C from turkey erythrocytes has allowed an examination of the direct effects of G-protein beta gamma-subunit on the components of the inositol lipid signaling system. Reconstitution of purified turkey erythrocyte or bovine brain beta gamma-subunit into phospholipid vesicles containing G alpha 11 inhibited AlF4- induced activation of phospholipase C. However, beta gamma-subunit at higher concentrations increased phospholipase C activity. This stimulatory effect of beta gamma-subunit on phospholipase C did not require the presence of the alpha-subunit. G alpha o had no effect on the catalytic activity of phospholipase C. However, coreconstitution of G alpha o and beta gamma-subunit shifted to the right the concentration-effect curve for beta gamma-subunit-promoted activation of phospholipase C. As was observed with G alpha 11, the increase in activity observed in the presence of beta gamma-subunit occurred as an increase in the maximal activity and with no change in the apparent affinity for Ca2+ for phospholipase C activation. The concentration dependence of G alpha 11 for activation of turkey erythrocyte phospholipase C and bovine brain phospholipase C-beta, as well as the concentration dependence of the two enzymes for activation by G alpha 11, were very similar. In contrast, beta gamma-subunit was a much less effective activator of bovine brain phospholipase C-beta than the turkey erythrocyte enzyme. The observation of direct effects of free beta gamma-subunit on phospholipase C extend the possibilities for receptor-mediated regulation of this signaling pathway.

description: While binary pulsar systems are fantastic laboratories for a wide array of astrophysics, they are particularly difficult to detect. The orbital motion of the pulsar changes its apparent spin frequency over the course of an observation, essentially "smearing" the response of the time series in the Fourier domain. We review the Fourier domain acceleration search (FDAS), which uses a matched filtering algorithm to correct for this smearing by assuming constant acceleration for a small enough portion of the orbit. We discuss the theory and implementation of a Fourier domain "jerk" search, developed as part of the \textsc{PRESTO} software package, which extends the FDAS to account for a linearly changing acceleration, or constant orbital jerk, of the pulsar. We test the performance of our algorithm on archival Green Bank Telescope observations of the globular cluster Terzan~5, and show that while the jerk search has a significantly longer runtime, it improves search sensitivity to binaries when the observation duration is $5$ to $15\%$ of the orbital period. Finally, we present the jerk-search-enabled detection of Ter5am (PSR~J1748$-$2446am), a new highly-accelerated pulsar in a compact, eccentric, and relativistic orbit, with a likely pulsar mass of 1.649$^{+0.037}_{-0.11}$\,\msun.

description: We report the discovery of the super-Earth K2-265 b detected with K2 photometry. The planet orbits a bright (V_mag = 11.1) star of spectral type G8V with a period of 2.37 days. We obtained high-precision follow-up radial velocity measurements from HARPS, and the joint Bayesian analysis showed that K2-265 b has a radius of 1.71 +/- 0.11 R_earth and a mass of 6.54 +/- 0.84 M_earth, corresponding to a bulk density of 7.1 +/- 1.8 g/cm^3 . Composition analysis of the planet reveals an Earth-like, rocky interior, with a rock mass fraction of 80%. The short orbital period and small radius of the planet puts it below the lower limit of the photoevaporation gap, where the envelope of the planet could have eroded due to strong stellar irradiation, leaving behind an exposed core. Knowledge of the planet core composition allows us to infer the possible formation and evolution mechanism responsible for its current physical parameters.

description: The distribution of hadrons produced in deeply inelastic electron-proton collisions depends on the azimuthal angle between lepton scattering plane and hadron production plane in the photon-proton centre-of-mass frame. In addition to the well known up-down asymmetry induced by the azimuthal dependence of the Born level subprocess, there is also a non-vanishing left-right asymmetry, provided the incoming electron is polarized. This asymmetry is time-reversal-odd and induced by absorptive corrections to the Born level process. We investigate the numerical magnitude of azimuthal asymmetries in semi-inclusive hadron production at HERA with particular emphasis on a possible determination of the time-reversal-odd asymmetry.

Biochemical characterization of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator in normal and cystic fibrosis epithelial cells
Creators: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1992

description: Affinity-purified polyclonal antibodies, raised against two synthetic peptides corresponding to the R domain and the C terminus of the human cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), were used to characterize and localize the protein in human epithelial cells. Employing an immunoblotting technique that ensures efficient detection of large hydrophobic proteins, both antibodies recognized and approximately 180-kDa protein in cell lysates and isolated membranes of airway epithelial cells from normal and cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and of T84 colon carcinoma cells. Reactivity with the anti-C terminus antibody, but not with the anti-R domain antibody, was eliminated by limited carboxypeptidase Y digestion. When normal CFTR cDNA was overexpressed via a retroviral vector in CF or normal airway epithelial cells or in mouse fibroblasts, the protein produced had an apparent molecular mass of about 180 kDa. The CFTR expressed in insect (Sf9) cells by a baculovirus vector had a molecular mass of about 140 kDa, probably representing a nonglycosylated form. The CFTR in epithelial cells appears to exist in several forms. N-glycosidase treatment of T84 cell membranes reduces the apparent molecular mass of the major CFTR band from 180 kDa to 140 kDa, but a fraction of the T84 cell CFTR could not be deglycosylated, and the CFTR in airway epithelial cell membranes could not be deglycosylated either. Moreover, wheat germ agglutinin absorbs the majority of the CFTR from detergent-solubilized T84 cell membranes but not from airway cell membranes. The CFTR in all epithelial cell types was found to be an integral membrane protein not solubilized by high salt or lithium diiodosalicylate treatment. Sucrose density gradient fractionation of crude membranes prepared from the airway epithelial cells, previously surface-labeled by enzymatic galactosidation, showed a plasma membrane localization for both the normal CFTR and the CFTR carrying the Phe508 deletion (delta F 508). The CFTR in all cases co-localized with the Na+, K(+)-ATPase and the plasma membrane calcium ATPase, while the endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase and mitochondrial membrane markers were enriched at higher sucrose densities. Thus, the CFTR appears to be localized in the plasma membrane both in normal and delta F 508 CF epithelial cells.

description: We propose the determination of the CKM matrix element $|V_{ub}|$ by the measurement of the spectrum of $B \to D_s^+ X_u$, dominated by the spectator quark model mechanism $\bar{b} \to D_s^{(*)+} \bar{u}$. The interest of considering $B \to D_s^+X_u$ versus the semileptonic decay is that more than 50 % of the spectrum for $B \to D_s^+ X_u$ occurs above the kinematical limit for $B \to D_s^+ X_c$, while most of the spectrum $B \to l νX_u$ occurs below the $B \to l νX_c$ one. Furthermore, the measure of the hadronic mass $M_X$ is easier in the presence of an identified $D_s$ than when a $ν$ has been produced. As a consistency check, we point out that the rate $\bar{b} \to D_s^{(*)+} \bar{c}$ (including QCD corrections that we present elsewhere) is consistent with the measured $BR (B \to D_s^{\pm} X)$. Although the hadronic complications may be more severe in the mode that we propose than in the semileptonic inclusive decay, the end of the spectrum in $B \to l νX_u$ is not well understood on theoretical grounds. We argue that, in our case, the excited $D_s^{**}$, decaying into $D K$, do not contribute and, if there is tagging of the $B$ meson, the other mechanisms to produce a $D_s$ of the right sign are presumably small, of $O(10^{-2})$ relative to the spectator amplitude, or can be controlled by kinematical cuts. In the absence of tagging, other hadronic backgrounds deserve careful study. We present a feasability study with the BaBar detector.

description: Diffusion of electrons in two-dimensional disordered systems with spin-orbit interactions is investigated numerically. Asymptotic behaviors of the second moment of the wave packet and of the temporal auto-correlation function are examined. At the critical point, the auto-correlation function exhibits the power-law decay with a non-conventional exponent $α$ which is related to the fractal structure in the energy spectrum and in the wave functions. In the metallic regime, the present results imply that transport properties can be described by the diffusion equation for normal metals.

Cold dust and stellar emissions of dust rich galaxies detected with ALMA at z=2: a challenge for SED fitting techniques
Creators: name: BUAT Véronique
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Over the past few years the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) has detected dust-rich galaxies whose cold dust emission is spatially disconnected from the ultraviolet (UV) rest-frame emission. This represents a challenge for modeling their spectral energy distributions (SED) with codes based on an energy budget between the stellar and dust components. This could potentially weaken the solidity of the physical parameters measured with these modeling tools.
 We select 17 sources at z=2 in the Hubble Ultra-Deep Field (HUDF) and in the GOODS-South field detected with ALMA and {\sl Herschel} and for which UV to near-infrared rest-frame ancillary data are available. We fit the data with CIGALE exploring different configurations for dust attenuation and star formation histories, considering either the full dataset or one that is reduced to the stellar and dust emission. The fit of the stellar continuum alone with the starburst attenuation law can only reproduce up to 50% of the total dust luminosity observed by Herschel and ALMA. This deficit is found to be marginally consistent with similar quantities estimated in the COSMOS field and is found to increase with the specific star formation rate. The combined stellar and dust SEDs are well fitted when different attenuation laws are introduced. Shallow attenuation curves are needed for the galaxies whose cold dust distribution is very compact compared to starlight. The stellar mass estimates are affected by the choice of the attenuation law. The star formation rates are robustly estimated as long as dust luminosities are available. The large majority of the galaxies are above the average main sequence of star forming galaxies and one source is a strong starburst.

description: We present the first direct excitation of the presumably ultra-narrow $1001 \, \textrm{nm}$ ground state transition in atomic dysproium. By using resonance ionization spectroscopy with pulsed Ti:sapphire lasers at a hot cavity laser ion source, we were able to measure the isotopic shifts in the $1001 \, \textrm{nm}$ line between all seven stable isotopes. Furthermore, we determined the upper level energy from the atomic transition frequency of the $^{164} \textrm{Dy}$ isotope as $9991.004(1) \, \textrm{cm}^{-1}$ and confirm the level energy listed in the NIST database. Since a sufficiently narrow natural linewidth is an essential prerequisite for high precision spectroscopic investigations for fundamental questions we furthermore determined a lower limit of $2.9(1) \, μ\textrm{s}$ for the lifetime of the excited state.
Cell adhesion of integrin clustering increases phosphorylation of a focal adhesion-associated tyrosine kinase

description: We have recently shown that changes in tyrosine phosphorylation of a 130-kDa protein(s) (pp130) may be involved in integrin signaling (Kornberg, L., Earp, H.S., Turner, C., Prokop, and Juliano, R. L. (1991) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 88, 8392-8396). One component of the pp130 protein complex reacts with an antibody generated against p125fak, which is a focal contact-associated tyrosine kinase (Schaller, M.D., Borgman, C. A., Cobb, B. S., Vines, R. R., Reynolds, A. B., and Parsons, J. T. (1992) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 89, 5192-5196). Both antibody-mediated integrin clustering and adhesion of KB cells to fibronectin leads to increased tyrosine phosphorylation of p125fak. The phosphorylation of p125fak is coincident with adhesion of cells to fibronectin and is maximal prior to cell spreading. Tyrosine phosphorylation of p125fak is induced when KB cells are allowed to adhere to fibronectin, collagen type IV, or laminin, but is not induced on polylysine. When KB cells are subjected to indirect immunofluorescence microscopy, p125fak colocalizes with talin in focal contacts. These data provide additional evidence that tyrosine kinases are involved in integrin signaling.

description: The neutrino option is a scenario where the electroweak scale, and thereby the Higgs mass, is generated simultaneously with neutrino masses in the seesaw model. This occurs via the leading one loop and tree level diagrams matching the seesaw model onto the Standard Model Effective Field Theory. We advance the study of this scenario by determining one loop corrections to the leading order matching results systematically, performing a detailed numerical analysis of the consistency of this approach with Neutrino data and the Standard Model particle masses, and by examining the embedding of this scenario into a more ultraviolet complete model. We find that the neutrino option remains a viable and intriguing scenario to explain the origin of observed particle masses.

Characterization of the human blood coagulation factor X promoter
Creators: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1992

description: Blood coagulation Factor X is a serine protease required for both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of coagulation. The gene for Factor X spans 27 kilobases and is located on chromosome 13, in close proximity to the gene encoding Factor VII. Expression of Factor X is restricted to the liver. We have characterized the human Factor X promoter by mapping the start sites of transcription and carrying out a functional analysis of the promoter. The first 279 base pairs (bp) of 5'-flanking sequence upstream from the first AUG are sufficient to confer maximal promoter activity in HepG2 cells. Protein-binding sites within the 279-bp fragment are defined using gel mobility shift assays. Mutagenesis of two specific sequences within the 279-bp fragment (CCAAT at -120 to -116, and ACTTTG at -56 to -51), results in loss of ability to bind proteins from a HepG2 nuclear extract, and profound reduction in promoter activity of the 279-bp fragment. We conclude that these two protein-binding sites are critical for the activity of the Factor X promoter.

Characterization of the structure of a low Km, rolipram-sensitive cAMP phosphodiesterase. Mapping of the catalytic domain.

description: Considerable structural similarities are present in a region of approximately 270 amino acids in most known cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) sequences, opening the possibility that this region encodes the catalytic domain of the enzyme. To test this hypothesis, the structure of a high affinity cAMP PDE (cAMP-PDE) was analyzed by deletion mutations and site-directed mutagenesis. A ratPDE3 cDNA was mutated using a strategy based on fragment amplification by polymerase chain reaction. The effect of the introduced mutations was determined by expressing wild type and mutated proteins in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The level of expression of the PDE protein was monitored by immunoblot analysis using two specific cAMP-PDE polyclonal antibodies and by measuring the PDE activity. After removal of a 99-amino acid region at the carboxyl terminus flanking the conserved domain, the protein retains its catalytic activity even though its Km and velocity were changed. Internal deletions at the amino terminus of this PDE showed that the enzyme activity was increased when a 97-amino acid fragment (from Tyr49 to Lys145) was removed. Further deletions within the amino terminus produced inactive proteins. Within the domain that appears essential for catalysis, 1 threonine and 2 serine residues are conserved in all PDEs. Substitutions of the invariant threonine (Thr349) present in the most conserved region with alanine, proline, or serine yielded proteins of the correct size and a level of expression comparable to the wild type PDE. However, in both expression systems used, proteins were completely devoid of the ability to hydrolyze cyclic nucleotides, except when the threonine was substituted with a serine. Conversely, mutations of 2 other conserved serine residues (Ser305 and Ser398) present in the catalytic domain either had no effect or produced changes only in Km and Vmax, but did not abolish catalytic activity. In addition, 2 histidine residues (His278 and His311) present in proximity to Thr349 appeared to be essential for the structure of the catalytic domain, since any substitution performed in these residues yielded an inactive enzyme. Mutations of a serine residue (Ser295) in the region homologous to the cAMP binding site of the regulatory subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase demonstrated that this region does not have the same function in the two proteins. These data provide direct evidence that a 37-kDa domain, which in part corresponds to the region of conservation in all PDEs, contains the catalytic domain, and that threonine and histidine residues are probably involved in catalysis and/or are essential for the conformation of an active enzyme.

title: Analysing the implementation of antibiotic stewardship policies in China: a study of the Nationwide Special Rectification Campaign on Hospital Antibiotic Use
Creators: name: Li, L
Publisher: name: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
Year: 2019

description: China has been introducing antibiotic stewardship policies since the early 2000s to address the persistent and pervasive problem of irrational antibiotic use in hospitals. A recent set of antibiotic stewardship policies were set out between 2011 and 2013 in the Nationwide Special Rectification Campaign on Hospital Antibiotic Use (The Campaign). Drawing on implementation theories, this thesis examines the implementation of The Campaign in respect of factors pertinent to both its context and process, and how these factors interacted. The thesis is based on qualitative data gathered using indepth interviews and semi-structured interviews over two phases of fieldwork. Phase 1 analysed the perspectives of multiple actors at central (governmental organisations) and hospital levels (6 hospitals in urban Beijing, including a national tertiary hospital). Phase 2 – a case study focused on a single hospital – analysed the perspectives of actors from a typical secondary hospital in urban Shanghai. It was found that top-down implementation – characterised by clear line of accountability, target approach, punitive measures and redundancy of policies – was evident at both the central and hospital levels. However, The Campaign’s approach to focus on secondary and tertiary hospitals was strongly shaped by the organisation, delivery and financing of China’s healthcare system and its relevant reforms. Implementation at the hospital level was heavily influenced by contextual factors at system (healthcare system), organisation (hospital and clinical settings) and individual levels (prescribers and patients). Rational prescribing practices were driven in part by The Campaign’s interaction with some of those factors, but more crucially by frontline implementers’ active adaptation in response to the local context and needs. In recognising the potential of the top-down approach, the findings also highlight the need to better involve frontline implementers, align wholistic healthcare reforms and understand the complexity of policy interactions in the implementation of antibiotic stewardship.
title: Birth attendants' hand hygiene in maternity wards in low-resource settings: levels and determinants
Creators: name: Gon, G
Publisher: name: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
Year: 2019

description: Rationale: High levels of preventable infection still occur among mother and newborns. This burden is concentrated in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) where increasing numbers of women attend facilities for childbirth. Poor quality of care contributes to this burden. Birth attendants’ hand hygiene in healthcare facilities is a key infection prevention opportunity. Objectives and methods: To assess existing evidence on birth attendants’ hand hygiene compliance in LMIC facilities by systematically reviewing the literature. To describe the enabling environment for hand hygiene in Zanzibar maternity wards (Tanzania) using a mixed-methods cross-sectional survey. To develop a tool to capture the complex patterns of hand hygiene performed by birth attendants using time-&- motion methods. To assess the compliance of Zanzibar birth attendants to hand rubbing/washing, avoiding recontamination and glove use before aseptic procedures using time-&-motion methods and descriptive statistics. To assess the determinants of Zanzibar birth attendants’ hand rubbing/washing and of avoiding recontamination before aseptic procedures using time-&-motion, a survey, and analytical methods. Findings: We found only nine studies – often with poor methods and definitions – that quantitatively examine birth attendants’ hand hygiene in LMICs facilities; amongst the three with better definitions and sample sizes, compliance ranged from 1-28%. The HANDS at birth tool was developed using time-&-motion software, which allowed all birth attendants’ actions to be captured and operationalised. Only 9.6% of Zanzibar birth attendants hand rubbed/washed, donned gloves and avoided recontamination before aseptic procedures. Half of the time when rubbing/washing or glove donning was performed, hands were recontaminated. Analysis of determinants found rubbing/washing was associated with lower workload (Adjusted Odds Ratio= 29.39), and availability of single-use drying material (AOR=2.9). Avoiding glove recontamination was associated with less time elapsed since glove donning (AOR=4.49). Conclusion: Further research should examine the extent to which failure to avoid recontamination contributes to poor hand hygiene and what effective behaviour change strategies could tackle it.
