A Literature Review on Male Involvement in HIV Testing and Counseling among Pregnant Women in Sub-Saharan Africa
Creators: name: Uehara, Manami
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Male participation in maternal and child health may have a significant positive impact on prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV in Malawi. However, there is little data available on the role of males in Malawi in prenatal healthcare and effects on PMTCT. This literature review describes studies conducted in other African settings and other regions of the world which have assessed men’s perception on participating in PMTCT, pregnant women’s willingness and acceptance of testing for HIV and disclosure of HIV status to the male partners. This review attempts to translate how male involvement in antenatal care may influence women’s decision to be tested for HIV through the perinatal period in Malawi. The review showed that supportive male participation, such as spousal approval or willingness to be tested for HIV with their partner, influence the acceptance of HIV testing among pregnant women. Male participation has the potential to increase the numbers of HIV testing during prenatal period, but one challenge is that male involvement in antenatal care remains very low in Sub-Saharan Africa. In addition to this challenge, little research on male involvement has been conducted in Malawi. The review concluded with recommendations that may help increase male involvement in antenatal care. These recommendations include: disseminating information and written invitations to HIV testing and counseling; expanding community outreach; and promoting community mobilization.

description: We present our study of the renormalization of the chromomagnetic operator,O(CM), which appears in the effective Hamiltonian describing Delta S = 1 transitions in and beyond the Standard Model. We have computed, perturbatively to one-loop, the relevant Green's functions with two (quark-quark) and three (quark-quark-gluon) external fields, at nonzero quark masses, using both the lattice and dimensional regularizations. The perturbative computation on the lattice is carried out using the maximally twisted-mass action for the fermions, while for the gluons we employed the Symanzik improved gauge action for different sets of values of the Symanzik coefficients. We have identified all the operators which can possibly mix with O(CM), including lower dimensional and non gauge invariant operators, and we have calculated those elements of the mixing matrix which are relevant for the renormalization of O(CM). We have also performed numerical lattice calculations to determine non-perturbatively the mixings of the chromomagnetic operator with lower dimensional operators, through proper renormalization conditions. For the first time the 1/a**2-divergent mixing of the chromomagnetic operator with the scalar density has been determined non-perturbatively with high precision. Moreover, the 1/a-divergent mixing with the pseudoscalar density, due to the breaking of parity within the twisted-mass regularization of QCD, has been calculated non-perturbatively and found to be smaller than its one-loop perturbative estimate. The QCD simulations have been carried out using the gauge configurations produced by the European Twisted Mass Collaboration with Nf = 2 + 1 + 1 dynamical quarks, which include in the sea, besides two light mass degenerate quarks, also the strange and charm quarks with masses close to their physical values.

Maternal Pre-Pregnancy Body Mass Index and Maternal Morbidity in the United States: New data from the Birth Certificate, 2015
Creators: name: Saleh, Iman
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Objective: To investigate the effect of maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index on maternal morbidity in the United States.Methods: Maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index was categorized as follow: underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5-24.9), overweight (25.0-29.9), and obesity (≥30). The odds ratio (OR) and 95% CIs of maternal morbidity by pre-pregnancy BMI were estimated by multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models.Results: There were 355 cases of maternal morbidity. Compared with obese women, the adjusted ORs (95%CIs) for maternal morbidity in underweight, normal, and overweight women were 0.47 (0.21- 1.08), 1.00 (0.78-1.30), 0.81(0.60-1.08) respectively.Conclusion: Obese women had the highest maternal morbidity.

description: In the framework of the ERTBP, we study an example of the influence of secondary resonances over the long term stability of Trojan motions. By the integration of ensembles of orbits, we find various types of chaotic diffusion, slow and fast. We show that the distribution of escape times is bi-modular, corresponding to two populations of short and long escape times. The objects with long escape times produce a power-law tail in the distribution.

description: Eotomaria umbilicata n.sp. PI. 5 figs 1-3 Description. Shell of about 4 whorls, very small, low spired, rotelliform, and widely phaneromphalous. Protoconch simple, first 1Vz whorls smooth, the remainder with faint reticulate ornament, with spiral and collabral cords appearing on the third whorl. Teleoconch with whorls increasing in size rapidly; whorl profile inflated with area above selenizone rather flat; sutures moderately deep; ornamentation of strong regularly spared collabral cords with lighter spiral threads, collabral cords orthocline below suture, but curved backward towards upper margin of selenizone; cords more finely spaced below selenizone with strong sinus extended to the base. Selenizone wide, bordered by raised spiral thread; lower margin of selenizone on whorl periphery slightly concave, ornamented with curved lunulae. Aperture simple, inner lip thin, arcuate; outer lip with a deep sinus culminating in a moderately deep slit above periphery. Types. Holotype (F78379) and 2 figured paratypes (F78380). There are 42 unfigured additional specimens (F7838l) from the type locality. Type locality. 150 m west of 'Marohn', homestead, on the Scone-Gundy roadside, 4 km south-west of Gundy, NSW (Locality 28). Stratigraphic position. In bioclastic limestone, upper part of the Dangarfield Formation. Additional material. 12 specimens from various horizons of the Dangarfield Formation, east of Glenbawn Dam (Localities 29-31). Geographic distribution. Glenbawn area. Geological age. Late Tournaisian. Etymology. Referring to umbilicus. Remarks. This species is characterised by a low spired shell with strong sinuous collabral cords and an exceptionally wide umbilicus. This form resembles the type species Eotomaria canalifera Ulrich in Ulrich & Scofield from Tennessee, in having a coeloconoidal, sublenticular shell with deep sinus and selenizone above the periphery, but differs from in having round whorl profile and round aperture. This is different from any known species of the Australian euomphaloideans.

description: The dynamics of a population undergoing selection is a central topic in evolutionary biology. This question is particularly intriguing in the case where selective forces act in opposing directions at two population scales. For example, a fast-replicating virus strain outcompetes slower-replicating strains at the within-host scale. However, if the fast-replicating strain causes host morbidity and is less frequently transmitted, it can be outcompeted by slower-replicating strains at the between-host scale. Here we consider a stochastic ball-and-urn process which models this type of phenomenon. We prove the weak convergence of this process under two natural scalings. The first scaling leads to a deterministic nonlinear integro-partial differential equation on the interval $[0,1]$ with dependence on a single parameter, $λ$. We show that the fixed points of this differential equation are Beta distributions and that their stability depends on $λ$ and the behavior of the initial data around $1$. The second scaling leads to a measure-valued Fleming-Viot process, an infinite dimensional stochastic process that is frequently associated with a population genetics.

It’s all relative: the small craft museum's contribution to intangible cultural heritage
Creators: name: Cordes, Kelly
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2018

description: The Heritage Crafts Association’s Radcliffe Red List of Endangered Crafts illustrates the importance of perpetuating the intangible cultural heritage of heritage crafts in the UK. This study considers the ways in which small craft museums contribute to the UK’s intangible cultural heritage. This is achieved through the exploration of five small heritage craft museums: The Clockmakers’ Museum, The Fan Museum, The Lace Guild Museum, The Quilt Museum and Gallery, and The Stained Glass Museum. This study seeks to elucidate the characteristics of these individual organisations, each of which serve two separate yet mutually dependent purposes that are atypical for most museums; 1) the perpetuation of their specific heritage craft and 2) the support of the individual communities of people that have a connection to the craft and without whom the specific craft practice could face extinction. This thesis is concerned with the importance of these heritage crafts in so far as they are the ‘raison d’être’ of each of these small museums, rather than a definitive exploration of the minutia and skills required for the individual handcrafts. This thesis demonstrates that small heritage craft museums offer an important avenue for the continuous transfer of explicit and tacit knowledge between craft practitioners and non-practitioners and an important resource for practical and social interaction through their communities of practice. The continued viability of these museums and their heritage crafts is contingent upon inspiring future generations to actively engage in perpetuating the intangible cultural heritage of these crafts.
Dark matter searches with asteroseismology

description: High-precision asteroseismic data provides an excellent opportunity to test theories of stellar evolution and new physics, such as the properties of the dark matter (DM) of the Universe. Here we will show that some models of DM lead to changes in the classical scenario of stellar evolution. The accumulation of DM in the core of low-mass stars reduces their central temperatures and inhibits the formation of small convective cores in 1.1-1.3 Ms stars. We review the asteroseismic constraints that have been set to the characteristics of the DM particles, obtained comparing the oscillations of the star Alpha Cen B with modified stellar models. To conclude, we discuss the prospects to use CoRoT and Kepler data on main-sequence stars and red giants to further constrain the nature of DM.

description: Deuteron-gold ($d$ + Au) collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider provide ideal platforms for testing QCD theories in dense nuclear matter at high energy. In particular, models suggesting strong saturation effects for partons carrying small nucleon momentum fraction ($x$) predict modifications to jet production at forward rapidity (deuteron-going direction) in $d$ + Au collisions. We report on two-particle azimuthal angle correlations between charged hadrons at forward/backward (deuteron/gold going direction) rapidity and charged hadrons at midrapidity in $d$ + Au and $p$ + $p$ collisions at $\sqrt{S_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV. Jet structures observed in the correlations are quantified in terms of the conditional yield and angular width of away-side partners. The kinematic region studied here samples partons in the gold nucleus with $x$ $\sim 0.1$ to $\sim 0.01$. Within this range, we find no $x$ dependence of the jet structure in $d$ + Au collisions.

description: In this paper, we introduce an approach to overcome the low accuracy of the Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) (when using the global features). To increase the accuracy, we use Harris-Laplace detector to identify the interest regions of image. Then, we build the Region-Based Image Retrieval (RBIR). For the efficient image storage and retrieval, we encode images into binary signatures. The binary signature of a image is created from its interest regions. Furthermore, this paper also provides an algorithm for image retrieval on S-tree by comparing the images' signatures on a metric similarly to EMD (earth mover's distance). Finally, we evaluate the created models on COREL's images.

description: The dielectric engineered tunnel field-effect transistor (DE-TFET) as a high performance steep transistor is proposed. In this device, a combination of high-k and low-k dielectrics results in a high electric field at the tunnel junction. As a result a record ON-current of about 1000 uA/um and a subthreshold swing (SS) below 20mV/dec are predicted for WTe2 DE-TFET. The proposed TFET works based on a homojunction channel and electrically doped contacts both of which are immune to interface states, dopant fluctuations, and dopant states in the band gap which typically deteriorate the OFF-state performance and SS in conventional TFETs.

description: The main objective of this thesis was to identify facilitators of strong maternal affective attachment bonds to children. First, a systematized review of the literature was conducted to gather and synthesize all the research over the last 25 years that has identified correlates and predictors of maternal affective attachment. The review found 26 articles relevant to the research question, and main findings from the existing literature were summarized. The main study of the thesis was built upon the findings of the review using data collected through an online survey of Canadian mothers. First, a latent profile analysis (LPA) was used to cluster mothers into maternal profiles based on their patterns of responses to measures of previously identified correlates and predictors of the maternal affective attachment; symptom distress related to symptoms of depression and anxiety, the dimensions of avoidance and anxiety in mothers’ adult romantic attachment, and mothers’ sense of parental efficacy and satisfaction in the maternal role. Then, a MANOVA was conducted to determine whether profile membership would account for a significant portion of the variance in the maternal affective attachment bond to children. Results indicated that maternal profiles characterized by lower symptom distress, lower romantic attachment avoidance and anxiety, and higher efficacy and satisfaction in the parental role reported higher affective attachment, and perceived more closeness and less conflict in their relationships with their children. The results of this thesis help to inform the scholarship of motherhood by identifying salient maternal experiences associated with positive family outcomes.
Green Acres: A proposal to provide an intervention within a rural low-income majority African American and Latino community
Creators: name: Williams, Joy T.

description: In the past 30 years, obesity has more than doubled for children ages 2-5, has tripled among children ages 6-11, and more than tripled among 12-19 years; and out of these age groups, rural low-income African American and Latino populations are affected the most. The most accepted method of addressing obesity is through individual or small group physical activity and nutrition but is likely to only produce modest changes of 5% to 10% of initial body weight, and produce minimal long-term success. Increasing evidence shows that a multilevel approach (family, community, schools, and policies) is needed. To address the problem of childhood obesity in a rural African American community in NC, we propose to combine a community participatory approach with a multilevel framework to develop a program called Green Acres.

description: Only one third of depressed patients experience a beneficial therapeutic effect after using a first-line medication, leaving two-thirds of patients without effective treatment. It has been shown that a combination of two drugs with different modes of action result in an increase in the number of patients responding to treatment. One of the most effective strategies is the addition of low doses of an atypical antipsychotic. In depth evaluation of the neurobiological properties of atypical antipsychotics have revealed that these agents produce antidepressant effects and enhance the therapeutic response of first-line medications through antagonism of the 5-HT2A, 5-HT2C, 5-HT1B/D, 5-HT7 receptors and NET; agonism of the 5-HT1A receptor; and/or D2/3 partial agonism. The present experiments focused on determining the mode of action of this combination of drugs to help design better antidepressant treatment in the future. A series of electrophysiological experiments were proposed to assess 5-HT and NE neurotransmission in the rat hippocampus, as well as DA transmission in the rat forebrain.
Learning to Talk: Men's Management of Distress Through Disclosures
Creators: name: Pye, Ian
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2018

description: As a result of social stigma and male normative gendered expectations, many men continue to conceal their problems from others and are reluctant to seek help. Such behaviour is assumed to contribute to these men getting fewer health consultations, having high suicide rates and the associated large number of avoidable male deaths. As a group, men in mid- and later-life have largely been neglected in research practice and appear to be particularly vulnerable as this group has shown a recent rise in suicide rates. This study aimed to increase understanding into how and why men in mid- and later-life weigh up decisions to disclose or conceal when suffering under mental-distress. Studying the decision making behaviour of men in mid- and later-life not only addresses a group which is underrepresented in research, but further poses potential for identifying the development of distress disclosure behaviour in connection with phases in life. Within a life-course framework, and using in-depth interviews, this study enquired into past decision-making behaviour of 20 men aged between 45-86 years of age when having had to cope with serious issues. A subsequent thematic analysis of results revealed four factors relevant for understanding this problem. 1) For many men, as boys, the act of distress disclosure was suppressed within the family. Boys were discouraged from acknowledging forms of distress and disclosing distress was associated with weakness and ungratefulness. For most men, these associations remained largely unchallenged well into adult life. 2) For a large number of men, their social network does not appear to provide adequate possibilities for disclosure, being either too small or inadequate in nature. 3) Ensuring high levels of confidentiality and professionality and minimising the time and effort needed to be invested in the help-seeking process can ease the act of disclosure towards professionals and lay people for men in distress. 4) Certain personal developments, such as those acquired through illness or psychotherapy can enable men to overcome stigma in later life and disclose to others when necessary. Suggestions for application and further research are discussed.

description: Based on homodyne detection, we discuss how the presence of an event horizon affects quantum communication between an inertial partner, Alice, and a uniformly accelerated partner, Rob. We show that there exists a low frequency cutoff for Rob's homodyne detector that maximizes the signal to noise ratio and it approximately corresponds to the Unruh frequency. In addition, the low frequency cutoff which minimizes the conditional variance between Alice's input state and Rob's output state is also approximately equal to the Unruh frequency. Thus the Unruh frequency provides a natural low frequency cutoff in order to optimize quantum communication of both classical and quantum information between Alice and Rob.

Play Time Monitoring

description: Ending a gaming session can be challenging for children and parents/guardians. Although many tools exist to monitor and restrict playtime, many do not adequately communicate session progress to children, and do not efectively involve guardians in the process. This is a missed opportunity for families to develop media literacy, and can also lead to conficts and fghts about playtime. To open up conversation about playtime management as a shared responsibility between children and guardians, we present “Schlusslicht” – an ambient display that seeks to facilitate a shared awareness of progression of a gaming session and remaining time between guardians and children, and can be leveraged to further explore how we can best support children when disengaging from play sessions.

description: This paper presents a case study of formalizing a normalization proof for Leivant's Predicative System F using the Equations package. Leivant's Predicative System F is a stratified version of System F, where type quantification is annotated with kinds representing universe levels. A weaker variant of this system was studied by Stump & Eades, employing the hereditary substitution method to show normalization. We improve on this result by showing normalization for Leivant's original system using hereditary substitutions and a novel multiset ordering on types. Our development is done in the Coq proof assistant using the Equations package, which provides an interface to define dependently-typed programs with well-founded recursion and full dependent pattern- matching. Equations allows us to define explicitly the hereditary substitution function, clarifying its algorithmic behavior in presence of term and type substitutions. From this definition, consistency can easily be derived. The algorithmic nature of our development is crucial to reflect languages with type quantification, enlarging the class of languages on which reflection methods can be used in the proof assistant.

description: The origin and dispersal of the Sino-Tibetan has been one of the most concerned question in historical comparative linguistics. It noted that the comprehensive analysis of archaeological defined cultures and genetically attested population relationships showed accurate illustration in Sino-Tibetan research, providing multidisciplinary evidence for the origin and dispersal from northern East Asia. Focus on “Farming-language/ethnic dispersal Hypothesis”, linguistic and archaeological studies outlined the migration route of proto-Sino-Tibetan originated from the North China and then dispersed to middle and upper Yellow River area, Southwest China and the Southeast Asia, and supported the hypothesis of “Tibetan-Yi Corridor” in Southwest China since Neolithic Period. By capitalizing on time transects of ancient DNA research in East Asia, we observed the strong genetic affinity between millet-farming-related ancients and modern Sino-Tibetan, which is consistent with the cultural links reflected in linguistic and archaeological studies. Furthermore, from genome-wide ancient DNA perspective, we observed large-scale genetic contribution in modern Sino-Tibetan associated Yangshao and Majiayao Culture ancients, suggesting continuous genetic flow from northern China millet farmers. Therefore, the population migrations in Tibetan-Yi Corridor in southwest East Asia supported by paleogenomicsevidences are coincident with the linguistically and archaeologically attested proto-Sino-Tibetan expansions associated with “Farming-language/ethnic dispersal Hypothesis”.

description: This school meals case study forms part of a collection led by the Research Consortium for School Health and Nutrition’s "Good Examples" Community of Practice. Developed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the School Meals Case Study of Japan serves to document how the national school meals programme is organized, funded, and monitored throughout the country. The objectives of this case study include presenting an introduction to the country profile, outlining the design and implementation of school feeding programmes, describing their monitoring and evaluation processes, and highlighting lessons learned, best practices, and challenges. This case study is written as a working paper, and can be updated to reflect evolving circumstances. The ‘Good Examples’ Community of Practice supports the evidence generation of the Research Consortium for School Health and Nutrition, the evidence-generating arm of the School Meals Coalition. The Research Consortium’s objective is to carry out independent research across diverse sectors and generate solid, compelling, and actionable evidence regarding the benefits of school food programs to inform evidence-based decision-making on school health and nutrition policies and practices.

description: We introduce a new approach for computing the monodromy of the Hitchin map and use this to completely determine the monodromy for the moduli spaces of $L$-twisted $G$-Higgs bundles, for the groups $G = GL(2,\mathbb{C})$, $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$ and $PSL(2,\mathbb{C})$. We also determine the twisted Chern class of the regular locus, which obstructs the existence of a section of the moduli space of $L$-twisted Higgs bundles of rank $2$ and degree $deg(L)+1$. By counting orbits of the monodromy action with $\mathbb{Z}_2$-coefficients, we obtain in a unified manner the number of components of the character varieties for the real groups $G = GL(2,\mathbb{R})$, $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$, $PGL(2,\mathbb{R})$, $PSL(2,\mathbb{R})$, as well as the number of components of the $Sp(4,\mathbb{R})$-character variety with maximal Toledo invariant. We also use our results for $GL(2,\mathbb{R})$ to compute the monodromy of the $SO(2,2)$ Hitchin map and determine the components of the $SO(2,2)$ character variety.

description: Objectives: To explore service provision to survivors of sex trafficking in Mumbai, India by two non-governmental organizations.Objectives: To explore service provision to survivors of sex trafficking in Mumbai, India by two non-governmental organizations. Methods: Interviews with staff were conducted (n=13) to determine client needs, program services, and challenges in service provision. Interviews were coded and common themes were explored. Results: Client needs were identified that are consistent with previous research. Programming is focused on trauma-focused counseling, building economic self-sufficiency, and supporting reintegration. Challenges include lack of trained service providers, strained relationships with government aftercare homes, and insufficient time to provide needed services. Conclusions: Aftercare for survivors of sex trafficking provides an opportunity for sustainable recovery and rehabilitation for this population. Research should be directed at identifying and evaluating evidence-based practices. National and global policies should support expansion of aftercare services.
Lost Voices, Fragile Warriors: Social Capital, Reconciliation and the Reintegration of Former Combatants in Sierra Leone

description: It is one thing to rebuild the physical structure of society after conflict; however rebuilding social capital is quite another feat. Social capital is the rebuilding of social relations through reconciliation and cohabiting together. Effective social reintegration of former combatants, which is understood to mean a return of social and psychological wellbeing of citizens - is a complex and subtle process, which is an essential element of peace-building mechanism in post-conflict societies. Traditionally, reintegration was seen as impossible unless founded on the re-establishment of trust between members who were previously in conflict, and based primarily on conventional measures of reintegration like economic and political indicators. This thesis offers an alternative perspective to reintegration of former combatants by assessing the impacts of conflict on social capital, and exploring ways in which the effective social reintegration of former combatants may facilitate the restoration of social capital destroyed through the course of the conflict in Sierra Leone, and promote the achievement of sustainable reintegration and reconciliation. Using workshops and training courses, detailed literature review and six-month fieldwork in Sierra Leone as ethnographical research methods, this study investigates how civil-conflict disrupts social capital and how the successful social reintegration and reconciliation of former combatants can restore it. It shows that where reintegration occurs without reconciliation built on trust, coexisting peacefully might be an alternative to trust. The study finds that bridging and bonding social capital has evolved in Sierra Leone, and that trust appeared as some kind of transitionary mechanisms that initiated with peaceful coexistence at the local level. It also finds that social reintegration does not rely solely on conventional measures like economic and political indicators, but may also benefit from using alternative perspectives and methods. The study enhances current understandings of social capital dynamics and generates functional conclusions that can be used to create a fuller response to the changing dynamics of social capital as a result of civil-conflict in the future - and generate hope and aspiration for post-war Sierra Leone.

description: In this paper, a synthesis method for distributed estimation is presented, which is suitable for dealing with large-scale interconnected linear systems with disturbance. The main feature of the proposed method is that local estimators only estimate a reduced set of state variables and their complexity does not increase with the size of the system. Nevertheless, the local estimators are able to deal with lack of local detectability. Moreover, the estimators guarantee H-infinity-performance of the estimates with respect to model and measurement disturbances.
