description: Spherical and aspherical models are presented for two outbursts in 2012 of supernova 2009ip. Models are based on a scenario which suggests that the August 2012 outburst is caused by the explosive shell ejection from LBV-presupernova. The model predicts an emergence of an unobserved outburst in late July 2012 related to a shock breakout and a subsequent diffusive radiative cooling of the ejected envelope. The luminosity of the first observed outburst in August 2012 was presumably powered by the central source, whereas the second, more powerful outburst in late September 2012, was caused by the ejecta interaction with the circumstellar envelope. Models provide estimates of the ejecta energy and mass along with the mass of the circumstellar shell.

description: Reliability of measurement with acoustic NDT applied to timber structures improves in-situ assessments. The aim of this research is to carry out simulated in-situ measurements with acoustic NDT devices in order to analyse the influence of different sensor positions, repeatability and measurement lengths. Time-of-Flight and dynamic modulus of elasticity (MOEdyn) variability were quantified on the faces and edges of Scots pine timber from a sawmill. A comparison was also made of the models obtained at different distances between the sensors and a mean model independent of the distance between the sensors. Linear regressions between the static modulus of elasticity (MOEsta) and MOEdyn or wave velocity depending on the distance between sensors yielded coefficients of determination (R2) from 0.59 to 0.86 and residual standard errors (StE) from 737 to 1232 N mm−2. It was found that measurements taken at 1 m distance did not represent the piece as a whole, and that mean statistical models provided a better relationship, increasing by up to 14% in R2 and decreasing StE by up to 11%. It is concluded that in order to obtain a reliable model (MOEsta vs. MOEdyn) at least 2 measurements are required at different positions on each piece of the batch.

description: BACKGROUND: Nutrition and HIV are closely interlinked creating a vicious cycle. Malnutrition is a common condition in HIV-infected children; however, its effect on survival of HIV infected children after initiation of antiretroviral therapy is not well understood. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of malnutrition on survival of HIV infected children after initiation of antiretroviral treatment. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in HIV infected children starting antiretroviral treatment at Wolaita zone selected health facilities, Ethiopia. Demographic, nutritional, clinical and immunological data were extracted from the existing ART logbook and patient follow up records. Nutritional statuses of children were determined using the International Reference Population defined by the WHO. Height-for-age (HAZ), weight-forheight (WHZ), and weight-for-age (WAZ) Z-scores were calculated. Survival was defined as the time from nutritional and immunologic evaluation at the starting of ART to death. Data were analyzed by bivariate and multivariate analysis using Cox regression proportional hazard model. Survival were calculated and compared with the Kaplan Meier and log rank test. RESULT: A total of 228 records of children were taken from ART registry from February, 2006 to March 2014 in 2 Hospitals and 3 Health centers in Wolaita zone. The mean survival time for this cohort using Kaplan Meier analysis was 89.34 months (95% CI 85.707-92.97). The cumulative proportion of survival was 98%, 97%, 94%, 92% and 84% at 6,12,24,60 and 96 months respectively. The incidence of mortality rate 21.02 per 1000 person years of observation (95% CI 12.8-34.3). Overall nutritional status, 62.5% were stunted, 43.0% were underweight and 44.7% were wasted at baseline. In our study residence living in rural AHR 4.30 (95% CI, 1.25- 14.8), fair/poor of the first three month ART adherence AHR 8.95(95% CI 2.624-33.72) and Severe wasted children at baseline AHR 7.040 (95 % CI, 1.27-39.13) were predictors of reduce survival of children on ART. Age of children at starting ART also predictor for survival, children age as < 18 months than age 18 month-5 year, 5-14 years of age with AHR0.047 (95% CI, 0.006- 0.368 ), 0.145(95% CI 0.032-0.663) respectively. Incidences of mortality rate for severe wasted children were 3.77 (95% CI 1.2-13.8). CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: Our data analysis showed that Children on ART at initiation had high prevalence of malnutrition and malnutrition was found to be an important predictor of survival with residence, age of the children and first three month ART adherence.
Into the Bulk: A Covariant Approach

description: I propose a general, covariant way of defining when one region is "deeper in the bulk" than another. This definition is formulated outside of an event horizon (or in the absence thereof) in generic geometries; it may be applied to both points and surfaces, and may be used to compare the depth of bulk points or surfaces relative to a particular boundary subregion or relative to the entire boundary. Using the recently proposed "lightcone cut" formalism, the comparative depth between two bulk points can be determined from the singularity structure of Lorentzian correlators in the dual field theory. I prove that, by this definition, causal wedges of progressively larger regions probe monotonically deeper in the bulk. The definition furthermore matches expectations in pure AdS and in static AdS black holes with isotropic spatial slices, where a well-defined holographic coordinate exists. In terms of holographic RG flow, this new definition of bulk depth makes contact with coarse-graining over both large distances and long time scales.

description: Cluster substructure and ram pressure stripping in individual galaxies are among the primary evidence for the ongoing growth of galaxy clusters as they accrete galaxies and groups from their surroundings. We present a multi-wavelength study of the center of the Hydra I galaxy cluster, including exquisite new MeerKAT HI and DECam Halpha imaging which reveal conclusive evidence for ram pressure stripping in NGC 3312, NGC 3314a and NGC 3314b through compressed HI contours, well-defined HI tails, and ongoing star formation in the stripped gas. In particular, we quantify the stripped material in NGC 3312 and NGC 3314a, which makes up between 8% and 35% of the gas still in the disk, is forming stars at ~0.5 M_Sun yr^-1, and extends ~30-60 kpc from the main disk. The estimated stellar mass in the tails is an order of magnitude less than the HI mass. A fourth "ring" galaxy at the same velocity does not show signs of ram pressure in HI. In addition, we use the HI and stellar morphologies, combined with a Beta model of the hot intracluster medium, to constrain the real distances of the galaxies to the cluster center, and we use the chance alignment of NGC 3314b behind NGC 3314a to break the degeneracy between whether the galaxies are in front or in back of the cluster. The drag seen in the HI tails supports our preferred scenario that NGC 3312 and NGC 3314a are moving towards us as part of a foreground substructure which has already passed its pericenter and is on "out fall" from the cluster. The high surviving HI content of the galaxies may suggest that the substructure/intragroup medium can protect them from the harshest effects of ram pressure, or that in fact the galaxies are on more tangential orbits.

description: We discuss generation of subwavelength optical barriers on the scale of tens of nanometers, as conservative optical potentials for cold atoms. These arise from non-adiabatic corrections to Born-Oppenheimer potentials from dressed `dark states' in atomic $Λ$-configurations. We illustrate the concepts with a double layer potential for atoms obtained from inserting an optical subwavelength barrier into a well generated by an off-resonant optical lattice, and discuss bound states of pairs of atoms interacting via magnetic dipolar interactions. The subwavelength optical barriers represent an optical `Kronig-Penney' potential. We present a detailed study of the bandstructure in optical `Kronig-Penney' potentials, including decoherence from spontaneous emission and atom loss to open `bright' channels.

Assesment of Predictors of Survival in Patients living with Hiv/Aids after the Advent of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy in Addis Ababa Ethiopia
Creators: name: Bedru, Abdo
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2009

description: BACKGROUND: The introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy in 1996 dramatically improved survival and quality of HIV-infected patients in the industrialized world. This survival benefit of HAART in HIV infection has been well studied in the developed world. In resource-poor settings, where such treatment was started only recently, limited data exist on treatment results. More over mortality have been high particularly in the first month of initiating ART and factors contributing to this high mortality are poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: To asses predictors of survival in PLWHA after the advent of HAART. METHODS: A historical cohort study was conducted in Zewditu Hospital located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Patient's records enrolled between March, 2005 to July, 2008 were reviewed consecutively using patients ART unique identification number as a reference. Different documents for the same patient were triangulated in case of odd values, non logical or missed data. Deaths from all AIDS related cause occurring during the follow-up period were identified from physician reports or registration by drug adherence counselor. Univariate analysis was used to describe patient's baseline characteristics. Actuarial table was used to estimate survival after intiation of ART, and log rank test was used to compare survival curves. Cox proportional-hazard regression was used to calculate the bivariate and adjusted hazard rate and then determine independent predictors of time to death. RESULT; One thousand seventy patients on ART were followed for a median of 34 month (IQR 6, 36.25). The mean age was 36.4 and the median weight of the cohort at the initiation of ART was 51kg (IQR, 45-60kg).The median CD4 count was 94cells/μl (IQR, 46-154). The estimated mortality was 24.9%, 29%, 31.7%, 33.1%, 33.5, and 34% at 6, 12, 18, 30, and 48 months respectively. After adjustment, the independent significant predictors of not surviving in patients living with HIV/AIDS after initiation of ART remain poor ART adherence (AHR=3.92[95%CI=3.13, 4.90]),Advanced WHO staging (AHR=2.47[95%CI= (1.58, 3.81]), being unemployed (AHR=1.87[95%CI= 1.49, 2.34]), moderate anemia (AHR=1.86[95%CI=1.35, 2.56), and Low CD4 count (AHR=1.85[95%CI= 1.35, 2.52]). CONCLUSION; A careful monitoring of patients with low CD4+ ,advanced WHO staging, moderate anemia and unemployed particularly during the first 3 months of HAART is necessary. Tracing poorly adhered patients and giving them drug counseling is crucial to improve their survival.

description: Phosphorus atomic chains, the utmost-narrow nanostructures of black phosphorus (BP), are highly relevant to the in-depth development of BP into one-dimensional (1D) regime. In this contribution, we report a top-down route to prepare atomic chains of BP via electron beam sculpting inside a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The growth and dynamics (i.e. rupture and edge migration) of 1D phosphorus chains are experimentally captured for the first time. Furthermore, the dynamic behaviors and associated energetics of the as-formed phosphorus chains are further corroborated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The 1D counterpart of BP will serve as a novel platform and inspire further exploration of the versatile properties of BP.

The $e^+e^-\toωηπ^0$ cross section is measured for the first time. The cross section has a threshold near 1.75 GeV. Its value is about 2 nb in the energy range $1.8-2.0$ GeV. The dominant intermediate state for the process $e^+e^- \to ωηπ^0$ is found to be $ωa_0(980)$.

description: A new model atom of Sc II was constructed using the most up-to-date atomic data. For the testing purpose, the non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) calculations were carried out for three stars with reliably determined atmospheric parameters: the Sun, HD~61421 (Procyon), and HD~84937. Accounting for deviations from LTE leads to smaller abundance errors compared with the LTE case and consistent within the error bars abundances obtained from different Sc II lines. Solar non-LTE abundance log eps_Sun = 3.12+-0.05 exceeds the meteoritic abundance recommended by Lodders (2021), by 0.08~dex. But agreement within 0.02~dex with the meteoritic abundance is obtained for Procyon. Using high-resolution spectra, we determined the scandium LTE and non-LTE abundances for 56 stars in the metallicity range -2.62 <= [Fe/H] <= 0.24. The dependence of [Sc/Fe] on [Fe/H] demonstrates a similarity with the behavior of the alpha-process elements: scandium is enhanced relative to iron ([Sc/Fe] ~ 0.2) for [Fe/H] < -1, and [Sc/Fe] decreases with increasing [Fe/H] for the higher metallicity. There is a hint of a tight relation between abundances of scandium and titanium. The results obtained provide observational constraints to the scenarios of scandium origin.

description: We propose a new method for integrating metasurfaces in optical design using semi-analytical modelling of dielectric nanostructures. The latter computes the output phase of an electric field incident on the metasurface, allowing their use with ray-tracing software. This tool provides a method to use metasurfaces in optical systems while using built-in optimization processes to avoid time-consuming computation. To demonstrate the applicability and versatility of our method, we present variations of a triplet composed of refractive elements and a metasurface. For each of the systems, similar optical performances are achieved. Our unique and innovative approach to joining metasurfaces and ray tracing has the potential to promote the design of innovative systems by exploiting the richness of metasurfaces and the functionality of conventional lens design software.

description: Neutrino oscillation models involving one extra mass eigenstate beyond the standard three ($3+1$) are fit to global short baseline experimental data and the recent IceCube $ν_μ+\barν_μ$ disappearance search result. We find a best fit of $Δm^2_{41} = 1.75\; \text{eV}^2$ with $Δχ^2_{null-min}$ (dof) of 50.61 (4). We find that the combined IceCube and short baseline data constrain $θ_{34}$ to $< 80^\circ (< 6^\circ) $ at 90\% C.L. for $Δm^2_{41} \approx 2 (6)~\text{eV}^2$, which is improved over present limits. Incorporating the IceCube information provides the first constraints on all entries of the 3+1 mixing matrix.

Furthermore, we introduce n3loxs, a public, numerical program for the evaluation of inclusive cross sections at the third order in the strong coupling constant. Our tool allows to derive predictions for charged- and neutral-current Drell-Yan production, gluon- and bottom-quark-fusion Higgs boson production and Higgs boson associated production with a heavy gauge boson. We discuss perturbative and parton distribution function (PDF) uncertainties of the aforementioned processes. We perform a comparison of global PDF sets for a variety of process including associated Higgs boson production and observe $1σ$ deviations among predictions for several processes.

description: We experimentally investigate the quantum motion of an impurity atom that is immersed in a strongly interacting one-dimensional Bose liquid and is subject to an external force. We find that the momentum distribution of the impurity exhibits characteristic Bragg reflections at the edge of an emergent Brillouin zone. While Bragg reflections are typically associated with lattice structures, in our strongly correlated quantum liquid they result from the interplay of short-range crystalline order and kinematic constraints on the many-body scattering processes in the one-dimensional system. As a consequence, the impurity exhibits periodic dynamics that we interpret as Bloch oscillations, which arise even though the quantum liquid is translationally invariant. Our observations are supported by large-scale numerical simulations.

description: Both the three-dimensional density of red clump giants and the gas kinematics in the inner Galaxy indicate that the pattern speed of the Galactic bar could be much lower than previously estimated. Here, we show that such slow bar models are unable to reproduce the bimodality observed in local stellar velocity space. We do so by computing the response of stars in the Solar neighbourhood to the gravitational potential of slow and fast bars, in terms of their perturbed distribution function in action-angle space up to second order, as well as by identifying resonantly trapped orbits. We also check that the bimodality is unlikely to be produced through perturbations from spiral arms, and conclude that, contrary to gas kinematics, local stellar kinematics still favour a fast bar in the Milky Way, with a pattern speed of the order of almost twice (and no less than 1.8 times) the circular frequency at the Sun's position. This leaves open the question of the nature of the long flat extension of the bar in the Milky Way.

description: We investigate the dynamics of the cavitation bubble induced by 2.9 μm mid-IR laser pulses (10 ns, 10-50 μJ) resulting in a plasma-free direct fast heating of water due to a strong vibrational absorption. We establish a direct correlation between the laser fluence (up to 6 J/cm^2) and the maximum bubble radius (up to 200 μm). From experimental data, key parameters (threshold energy, internal pressure) can be retrieved by simulations including the water absorption saturation at 2.9 μm. At a fluence of 6 J/cm^2, we obtain 13 % of the laser energy converted to a bubble energy and we can predict that operating at higher fluence >10 J/cm^2 will lead to a maximum of 20 % conversion efficiency. This results open the door to bioprinting applications using direct absorption of the laser radiation without any additional absorber.

description: Background: - Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by the bacillus Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and it is a major cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. The link between tuberculosis and chronic diseases particularly diabetes mellitus have long recognized but underappreciated connection between the two revealing that diabetes makes substantial contribution to the burden of both incidence and prevalence of tuberculosis at the world wide level. People with diabetes have more than three times higher risk of developing active tuberculosis than people without diabetes. However, still there are a few studies on the burden of tuberculosis among diabetic patients in Ethiopia, particularly at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Teaching Hospital. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the magnitude and associated factors of tuberculosis among diabetic patients at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Teaching Hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Objective: - To assess the magnitude and factors associated with tuberculosis among diabetic patients in Tikur Anbessa Specialized Teaching Hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods: - Retrospective study was conducted at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Teaching Hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from January 2010-January 2014. A total of six hundred eight one known diabetic patients aged ≥ 18 years were included in the study. Data was collected using checklist. Data were analyzed using SPSS for window version 20. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, proportions, means, medians and standard deviations were calculated. A binary logistic regression model was used to identify associated factors of tuberculosis among diabetic groups. The results were expressed by using adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval a significant threshold was considered at p < 0.05. Results: - The magnitude of tuberculosis among diabetic populations was 3.8%, 95%CI (2.5%-5.3%). Age from 51-65 years (AOR=21.4; 95%CI; 1.2-385) , type-I diabetes mellitus (AOR=7;95%CI: 1.1-41.6) and age over 66 years (AOR=51; 95%CI: 3-877), body mass index less than 18 kg/m2 (AOR=27.6; 95%CI: 1.7-442), and prolonged duration of DM (AOR=5.1; 95%CI: 1-24) were significantly associated factors of tuberculosis among diabetic patients. Conclusion and recommendations: - In this study higher magnitude of tuberculosis was reported compared to other studies in developing countries. Age, low body mass index, type of diabetes mellitus and duration of diabetes were the significantly associated factors leading to occurrence of tuberculosis among diabetic patients. All diabetic patients should be screened for tuberculosis at their diagnosis time and they have regular follow up, and it is better to conduct further large scale epidemiological studies with large sample size and advanced tuberculosis diagnostic technologies.

description: A new way to study the spin-isospin dependence of the $ΞN$ interaction is explored through the energy levels of $ΞNα$ and $ΞNαα$ systems with $α$ being a spectator to attract the $ ΞN$ pair without changing its spin-isospin structure. By using the Gaussian expansion method (GEM) with the state-of-the-art $ΞN$ potential obtained from lattice QCD calculations, it is found that $ΞNαα$ has spin-doublet bound states with $J^π={1^-}$ and $2^-$ in both isospin triplet and singlet channels. The inversion of the $1^-$-$2^-$ spin-doublet between the iso-triplet and the iso-singlet is found to be strongly correlated with the relative strengths of the $ΞN$ interaction in the $^{11}{\rm S}_0, ^{13}{\rm S}_1,^{31}{\rm S}_0$ and $^{33}{\rm S}_1$ channels. The $(K^-, K^+)$ and $(K^-,K^0)$ reactions on the $^{10}$B target are proposed to produce those bound states.

description: State-preserving frequency conversion in the optical domain is a necessary component in many configurations of quantum information processing and communication. Thus far, nonlinear crystals are used for this purpose. Here, we report on a new approach based on coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) in a dense molecular hydrogen gas. This four-wave mixing process sidesteps the limitations imposed by crystal properties, it is intrinsically broadband and does not generate an undesired background. We demonstrate this method by converting photons from 434 nm to 370 nm and show that their polarization is preserved.

description: Strings on $AdS_3 \times S^3\times S^3\times S^1$ with mixed flux exhibit exact integrability. We wish to construct an integrable Neumann-Rosochatius (NR) model of strings starting with the type IIB supergravity action in $AdS_3 \times S^3\times S^3\times S^1$ with pure NSNS flux. We observe that the forms of the Lagrangian and the Uhlenbeck integrals of motion of the considered system are NR-like with some suitable deformations which eventually appear due to the presence of flux. We utilize the integrable framework of the deformed NR model to analyze rigidly rotating spiky strings moving only in $S^3\times S^1$. We further present some mathematical speculations on the rounding-off nature of the spike in the presence of non-zero angular momentum $J$ in $S^1$.

description: Based on regularities in rotational splittings, we seek possible multiplets for the observed frequencies of CoRoT 102749568. Twenty-one sets of multiplets are identified, including four sets of multiplets with $l=1$, nine sets of multiplets with $l=2$, and eight sets of multiplets with $l=3$. In particular, there are three complete triplets ($f_{10}$, $f_{12}$, $f_{14}$), ($f_{31}$, $f_{34}$, $f_{35}$), and ($f_{41}$, $f_{43}$, $f_{44}$). The rotational period of CoRoT 102749568 is estimated to be $1.34^{+0.04}_{-0.05}$ days. When doing model fittings, three $l=1$ modes ($f_{12}$, $f_{34}$, and $f_{43}$) and the radial first overtone $f_{13}$ are used. Our results shows that the three nonradial modes ($f_{12}$, $f_{34}$, and $f_{43}$) are mixed modes, which mainly provide constraints on the helium core. The radial first overtone $f_{13}$ mainly provides constraint on the stellar envelope. Hence the size of the helium core of CoRoT 102749568 is determined to be $M_{\rm He}$ = 0.148 $\pm$ 0.003 $M_{\odot}$ and $R_{\rm He}$ = 0.0581 $\pm$ 0.0007 $R_{\odot}$. The fundamental parameters of CoRoT 102749568 are determined to be $M$ = 1.54 $\pm$ 0.03 $M_{\odot}$, $Z=$ 0.006, $f_{\rm ov}$ = 0.004 $\pm$ 0.002, $\log g$ = 3.696 $\pm$ 0.003, $T_{\rm eff}$ = 6886 $\pm$ 70 K, $R$ = 2.916 $\pm$ 0.039 $R_{\odot}$, and $L$ = 17.12 $\pm$ 1.13 $L_{\odot}$.

Postfeminism and digital fitness cultures: Exploring parasocial virtual communities
Creators: name: Abades-Barclay, Fiona
Publisher: name: Loughborough University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis explores digital fitness cultures on social media, the growing popularity of online communities’ results in the need to understand how women communicate and connect through these spaces. Despite the importance which online communities uphold within digital postfeminist contexts, there remains a paucity of research into the way in which they enhance neoliberal and gendered modes of labour. This thesis advances the merging field of critical inquiry into women’s online communities and digital labour practices, by focusing on the parasocial relationships which are fostered between influencers and followers within these spaces. I have conceptualised these communities as ParaSocial Virtual Communities (PSVC). Building on the PSVC concept, I have created the PSVC model as a new analytical tool which investigates and reveals how the members of the community parasocially communicate and interact. Existing research has been primarily influencer focused, whereas the PSVC model proposes the importance of studying all members and the interaction beween and within the PSVC communities. The PSVC model has been applied to the case study of fitness influencer Kayla Itsines and her renowned global fitness community (which has over 40 million followers across her social media accounts). Examining one of the world’s most successful digital fitness communities, I explore the novel ways in which parasocial strategies and practices are being employed by influencers and followers alike in the construction of online communities. The findings contribute to research on social media and platform work in revealing the (para)social labour required to produce and maintain PSVC. At an intersection with postfeminism, the PSVC model reveals the contradictory ways in which these communities offer women a place for belonging, community building and empowerment, whilst also enforcing constrained notions of beauty and novel forms of online labour. Critically, postfeminist discourse plays an important role in blurring the parameters of production and consumption and of leisure and labour online. The PSVC model offers a conceptual lens and analytical device through which scholars might critically interrogate the contradictory and complex social media landscape and the ways in which it is reshaping and redefining the way people communicate and connect with each other.

description: Background: Malaria is a preventable and treatable mosquito-borne disease. Approximately 52 million people (68%) live in malaria risk areas in Ethiopia. Dembecha woreda annual report shows that malaria is responsible for 13,852 morbidities (10% of the community) (2012/13 EFY). Observation and rumors of not hanging nets at all, hanging nets in a wrong manner and place and not giving priority to children and pregnant mothers deserve close examination. Thus, this study tries to describe Insecticide Treated Bed Net ownership, utilization and factors affecting in Dembecha woreda, Amhara region, Ethiopia. Objective: The main objective of this study is to assess the ownership and factors affecting utilization of Insecticide Treated bed nets in Dembecha woreda, west gojjam zone, Ethiopia. Methodology:A Cross sectional study was used and interview was conducted using structured questionnaire to assess the ownership and factors affecting utilization of Insecticide Treated bed nets in Dembecha woreda, from January 2013 to March 2014. A total of 380 households were systematically selected from the study kebeles by using their respective household head name list which was obtained from kebele administration from four kebeles. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection. ITNs ownership will be assessed by interviewing and observation while net utilization by history of reported use of the net during last night. The data was entered and analyzed using EPI info version 3.5.1 and SPSS version 16. Result: Malaria was recognized as a major problem. Possession of at least one net was reported by 79.2% of the households is much better than other studies. However use under a net was 40.5%. The main reason showing the discrepancy goes to use of nets for other purposes than primarily intended(eg. used as clothe, used for transporting 'chid', used as curtain and the like. and leaving the nets in the package. Factors associated with use were: education, knowledge and getting health information. Conclusions and recommendations: Reasons for improper use were housing condition, and lack of awareness. Selection of control measures, should take into consideration local situation. Once chosen as methods of prevention, mosquito net distribution should have proper guideline and local capacities for doing so should be strengthened

description: People are sharing their opinions, stories and reviews through online video sharing websites every day. Studying sentiment and subjectivity in these opinion videos is experiencing a growing attention from academia and industry. While sentiment analysis has been successful for text, it is an understudied research question for videos and multimedia content. The biggest setbacks for studies in this direction are lack of a proper dataset, methodology, baselines and statistical analysis of how information from different modality sources relate to each other. This paper introduces to the scientific community the first opinion-level annotated corpus of sentiment and subjectivity analysis in online videos called Multimodal Opinion-level Sentiment Intensity dataset (MOSI). The dataset is rigorously annotated with labels for subjectivity, sentiment intensity, per-frame and per-opinion annotated visual features, and per-milliseconds annotated audio features. Furthermore, we present baselines for future studies in this direction as well as a new multimodal fusion approach that jointly models spoken words and visual gestures.

description: Magnetohydrostatic models of the solar atmosphere are often based on idealized analytic solutions because the underlying equations are too difficult to solve in full generality. Numerical approaches, too, are often limited in scope and have tended to focus on the two-dimensional problem. In this article we develop a numerical method for solving the nonlinear magnetohydrostatic equations in three dimensions. Our method is a fixed-point iteration scheme that extends the method of Grad and Rubin (Proc. 2nd Int. Conf. on Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy 31, 190, 1958) to include a finite gravity force. We apply the method to a test case to demonstrate the method in general and our implementation in code in particular.
