description: Background: Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. In Ethiopia breast cancer is becoming the first common cancer and higher maternal deaths in the country. The finding from this study will have a significant benefit in promoting prevention and early control mechanisms, conscious the policy makers and national programs about the need of preventive, treatment, diagnostic and palliative care facilities and shows the way to address it on the system. Objectives: The aim of this study is to ass's prevalence and factors contributing to late diagnosis of breast cancer among women attending at Tikur Anbessa Specialized hospital, oncology unit, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2017. Methods: Facility based quantitative cross-sectional study was employed from March 2017. Systematic sampling technique was used involving 215 study participants. Data was collected using structured questionnaire for interview and supported from medical records. Collected data was cleaned for incompleteness and inconsistencies using Epi info 3.1. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS 20 version. Descriptive statistics including, frequencies, proportions and measures of central tendency was employed. Bivariate and multivariate analysis using Odds ratio (OR) was utilized to evaluate association between dependent and independent variables. P-value less than 0.05 were considered as level of significance for associations. Result: In this study the prevalence of late diagnosis of breast cancer is 184(88.89%) with the remaining 23(11.11%) study participants early stage. According to this study, around 77 (52%) of the respondents mentioned lack of awareness about breast cancer symptoms as a reason for late diagnosed also 61 (41.2 %) of them reported as breast cancer relieve by itself, and 57 (38.5 %) difficult to make decision to go to health facility for help seeking as the reasons for late diagnosis related with the patient. Occupation was only variable significantly associated with late diagnosis of breast cancer among the socio-demographic characteristics {AOR=0.2; 95% CI (0.001-0.80)}. Others such as Health facility, consulted before being referred to TASH and breast examination done in initial consultation was significantly associated with late diagnosis of breast cancer {AOR=1.10; 95% CI (2.50-4.85)}, {AOR=3.32; 95% CI (2.97-5.86)} respectively. Conclusion and recommendation: The study revealed that almost three fourth of the women were diagnosed for breast cancer at late stage. Awareness of breast cancer patients about early detection methods was low. Increase knowledge of women on different types of breast cancer symptom in order to increase early detection. Key Words: late diagnosis, factor and breast cancer.

description: Two data sets on the cytotoxicity of diverse chemicals to topminnow (Poeciliopsis lucida) hepatoma cell line (PLHC-1) were modelled with quantitative structure–toxicity relationship (QSTR). The data sets are based on 3-amino-7-dimethylamino-2-methylphenazine hydrochloride (NR) and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assays representing lysosomal damage and metabolic impairment, respectively. The descriptors were calculated with DRAGON 6 and SPARTAN 10 software packages. Descriptor selection was made by ‘all subset’ and genetic algorithm-based features implemented in QSARINS software. The proposed QSTR models were validated both internally and externally. For both endpoints, statistically satisfactory QSTR models were generated with nTr = 39; r2Tr = 0.782; RMSETr = 0.466; nTest = 18; r2Test = 0.799; RMSETest = 0.360 for NR-based model and nTr = 32; r2Tr = 0.775; RMSETr = 0.460; nTest = 10; r2Test = 0.864; RMSETest = 0.290 for MTT-based model. Additionally, the QSTR models generated for NR and MTT endpoints were used to predict the cytotoxicity of an external set of 657 and 652 diverse chemicals with structural coverage of 98.6% and 98.3%, respectively. A moderate correlation was observed between the experimental in vivo and predicted in vitro values for external set chemicals. The QSTR models may provide an initial, rapid screening and prioritization of these diverse chemicals for the acute fish toxicity assessment and reduce the need for extensive in vivo toxicity testing.

description: Introduction Invasive listeriosis is a rare foodborne disease with a large public health impact, because of the severity of its clinical manifestations and high fatality rate. In this study, we provide a snapshot of epidemiology of listeriosis in Lombardy Region, Northern Italy, reviewing enhanced surveillance data collected over fourteen years, after the implementation of a voluntary laboratory-based surveillance system for the referral of clinical isolates of Listeria monocytogenes to a regional reference laboratory, since 2005. Methods Invasive listeriosis cases data from 2005 to 2018 were extracted from the regional laboratory-based surveillance system database and compared with the regional mandatory notification disease system data. Results Over the fourteen period under study, 533 Listeria monocytogenes isolates were detected by the laboratory surveillance system, 55 of which from pregnancy-related cases. The median age of non-pregnancy-associated patients was 71 years, with 64.6% of cases observed in the elderly. Cases with underlying medical risk conditions accounted for 92.1%, and the fatality rate was 26.2%. By integrating data from the two sources, a total of 935 cases were recorded. The collection of data through the laboratory surveillance system allowed to increase the surveillance sensitivity by 18%. Conclusions Our results documented the growing epidemiological relevance of listeriosis through the analysis of two information sources. The data we obtained were consistent with the literature, except for pregnancy-related cases, which are often underdiagnosed. This study highlighted the importance of laboratory-based surveillance system, which led to a significant increase in the sensitivity of the mandatory notification system.

description: Introduction: The magnitude of or determinants underlying socioeconomic inequalities in the use of dental floss is poorly understood in Iran. This study aimed to measure and decompose socioeconomic inequalities in dental flossing in Ravansar, Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study used data of 10002 individuals aged 35-65 years obtained from the Ravansar Non-communicable Disease (RaNCD) cohort study located in Kermanshah province, west of Iran. Socioeconomic status was measured through an asset-based method and principal component analysis was carried out to determine the socioeconomic status (SES). The concentration index and curve were used to measure socioeconomic inequality in dental flossing. Decomposition analysis was also used to determine the main determinants that contribute to inequalities in dental flossing. Findings: Of 10,002 participants, 11.74% were found to use dental floss. The normalized CI for use of dental floss was 0.327 in the entire population, 0.323 in females and 0.329 in males, indicating that the use of dental floss is more concentrated among high-SES individuals. The decomposition analysis indicated that SES (50.58%) and level of education (44.90%) respectively contributed the most to this inequality. Place of residence (10.55%) and age group (2.7%) were the next main contributors, respectively. Conclusion: There are a low prevalence and a relatively high degree of pro-rich socioeconomic-related inequality in dental flossing among Iranian adults. Socioeconomic status, level of education and place of residence contributed the most to the observed inequalities in dental flossing. Policy interventions should consider these factors to reduce inequality in the use of dental floss and increase the prevalence of dental flossing.

description: Indirect detection of dark matter is a major avenue for discovery. However, baryonic backgrounds are diverse enough to mimic many possible signatures of dark matter. In this work, we study the newly proposed technique of dark matter velocity spectroscopy\,\cite{speckhard2016}. The non-rotating dark matter halo and the Solar motion produce a distinct longitudinal dependence of the signal which is opposite in direction to that produced by baryons. Using collisionless dark matter only simulations of Milky Way like halos, we show that this new signature is robust and holds great promise. We develop mock observations by high energy resolution X-ray spectrometer on a sounding rocket, the Micro-X experiment, to our test case, the 3.5 keV line. We show that by using six different pointings, Micro-X can exclude a constant line energy over various longitudes at $\geq$ 3$σ$. The halo triaxiality is an important effect and it will typically reduce the significance of this signal. We emphasize that this new {\it smoking gun in motion} signature of dark matter is general, and is applicable to any dark matter candidate which produces a sharp photon feature in annihilation or decay.

description: Introduction: In spite of traditional cardiovascular risk factor, the different occupations can play an important role in cardiovascular disease (CVDs) incidence. We aimed to assess the correlation between the occupational classes, based on the International Standard Classification of Occupation (ISCO), and CVDs in Iran as a developing country. Methods: We followed the 2440 men, aged 35-65 years and without history of CVDs over fourteen years; 2001 to 2015 during the Isfahan Cohort Study. ISCO was used to classify occupations into 10 categories. Incidence rates of ischemic heart diseases and stroke were recorded. Socioeconomic demographic data including marital state, income and place of living and metabolic risk factors were also recorded. Results: The mean age was 46.97±8.31 years old. 257 cardiovascular events (CVEs) were recorded that unstable angina was the highest recorded with 52% prevalence and the fatal stroke had the lowest outbreak (1%). The unemployed/jobless group and elementary occupations (9th ISCO category) had higher and lower relative frequency in CVEs respectively. There was non-significant decrease in CVEs in all of categories except of 4th (cleri­cal support workers) and 10th (armed forces) groups in comparison to unemployed/jobless subjects (P>0.05). After considering of the group 7 as a reference group (most absolute CVEs frequency), in fully adjustment analysis group 4 had significant risk for CVEs (P=0.04). Conclusion: This study indicates that working as cleri­cal support workers (4th ISCO category) is associated with higher significant risk for IHD and stroke incidence in comparison to craft and related trades workers (7th group of ISCO).

description: Educational leaders understand the importance of establishing trust with stakeholders and its positive effects on a school’s success. This study addressed a stakeholders’ lack of trust in a school’s administration, partly due to a breakdown in the process of building trusting relationships and effective communication. Educational leaders face many challenges such as diverse stakeholder groups, time, and past experiences. The purpose of this study was to use a trust framework of benevolence, reliability, competence, honesty, and openness to establish trust with stakeholders. Two plan-do-study-act cycles were conducted focusing on reliability and openness to provide professional recommendations to educational leaders on how to effectively build trust with teachers and parents. The results indicated that trust can be built, however, gaining someone’s trust is complex, depending on experiences and relationships.

description: Blood clots usually prevent bleeding when people injure themselves however they can also adversely affect people when dislodged into unwanted regions such as the brain causing a stroke. Blood clots form differently whilst exercising or resting and can vary greatly amongst individuals. A greater understanding of the formation of these blood clots is provided taking into account the clotting behaviour of the individual. The research shown gives great insight into the underlying mechanisms which drive blood clot formation so that future medications can be specific and tailored towards an individuals clotting behaviour.

description: History of Medicine is not a discipline destined to culturally enrich only those who work in the health sector. All historians know very well how some medical events have influenced the course of history. In particular, infectious diseases, being interconnected with political, social, economic and war issues, have an important historical significance. Microbial agents are invisible enemies ready to undermine mankind and to find prosperity in human misery. Tuberculosis, better than other, is well suited to study the epistemological path of medical thought, from its origins to the present day. From the Hippocratic and Galenic thought to the anatomo-clinical method, from the advent of microbiology to the antibiotic era up to the postantibiotic era, recognizing the timeless need to implement valid social policies and effective preventive medicine actions to achieve satisfactory results.

Prevalence of Stunting and Associated Factors Among Children Aged 6-59 Months in Merhabete Woreda North Showa, 2017
Creators: name: Abeway, Shiferaw
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Background: - Stunting reflects chronic under nutrition during the most critical periods of growth and development in early life. Children whose height-for-age Z-score was below minus two standard deviations from the median of the World Health Organization reference population were considered short for their age (stunted), or chronically malnourished. Children who were below minus three standard deviations were considered severely stunted. Height-for-age, therefore, represents the long-term effects of malnutrition in a population and was not sensitive to recent, short-term changes in dietary intake. Objectives: - The study was aimed to assess the magnitude of stunting and associated factors among children aged 6-59 month in Merhabeta woreda, North Shewa, Ethiopia. Methods: - A community based cross-sectional study was conducted among 410 children aged between 6-59 months. Systematic random sampling technique was employed to select study subject. Interviewer administered structured questionnaires was used to collect data. The data was entered using EPI INFO version 3.5.1 and analysis was done by SPSS version 20 and ENA, 2007software for anthropometric calculation. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis was used. Statistical significance was declared at p<0.05 and 95%CI. Result: - The overall magnitude of stunting was 52.4 95%CI (47.6-57.2). Among the total number of stunted children, 110(51.2%) were female. In multiple logistic regression analysis factors that were significantly associated with stunting were, sex of the child, age of the child, educational status of the mother, ANC visits of the mother, didn't have timely initiation of complementary feeding and birth weight Children within age group 24-59 months were 4 times more likely to be stunted AOR (95%CI) 4(1.88-8.42), children who did not timely initiation of complementary feeding practice were AOR (95%CI (2.4(1.27-4.61) and 0.01(1.27-4.61) respectively. and mothers who had no ANC follow up were 3.2 times more likely to be stunted than mothers had for tines ANC follow up AOR (95%CI) 3.2(1.405- 7.100). Conclusion: - Stunting was a highly prevalent problem in the study area with child's age. Mother's education, age of complimentary food started, size at birth, sex of children, age and antenatal care follow up were found to be associated factors of stunting. Recommendation: - in the study area, need to plan nutrition interventions to effectively address the nutritional conditions with participation of stakeholders and community at large Key Words: Stunting, Healthcare, Diet, Children, Merhabete

description: In this paper we study typical distances in the configuration model, when the degrees have asymptotically infinite variance. We assume that the empirical degree distribution follows a power law with exponent $τ\in (2,3)$, up to value $n^{β_n}$ for some $β_n\gg (\log n)^{-γ}$ and $γ\in(0,1)$. This assumption is satisfied for power law i.i.d. degrees, and also includes truncated power-law distributions where the (possibly exponential) truncation happens at $n^{β_n}$. We show that the graph distance between two uniformly chosen vertices centers around $2 \log \log (n^{β_n}) / |\log (τ-2)| + 1/(β_n(3-τ))$, with tight fluctuations. Thus, the graph is an \emph{ultrasmall world} whenever $1/β_n=o(\log\log n)$. We determine the distribution of the fluctuations around this value, in particular we prove that these are non-converging tight random variables that show $\log \log$-periodicity. We describe the topology and number of shortest paths: We show that the number of shortest paths is of order $n^{f_nβ_n}$, where $f_n \in (0,1)$ is a random variable that oscillates with $n$. The two end-segments of any shortest path have length $\log \log (n^{β_n}) / |\log (τ-2)|$+tight, and the total degree is increasing towards the middle of the path on these segments. The connecting middle segment has length $1/(β_n(3-τ))$+tight, and it contains only vertices with degree at least of order $n^{(1-f_n)β_n}$, thus all the degrees on this segment are comparable to the maximal degree. Our theorems also apply when instead of truncating the degrees, we start with a configuration model and we remove every vertex with degree at least $n^{β_n}$, and the edges attached to these vertices. This sheds light on the attack vulnerability of the configuration model with infinite variance degrees.

description: Introduction Inaccurate information leads to increased scepticism concerning vaccinations among health care workers. Therefore, a proper education of medical students on vaccination is important. Methods During summer term 2015, we performed a paper-based survey to identify the knowledge and attitudes of medical students on vaccinations against measles, influenza and HPV in seven medical schools in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Results Altogether, 3652 questionnaires were analyzed. Knowledge of country-specific public recommendations increased significantly with the number of semester of medical studies. Concerning the knowledge about vaccinations against measles, influenza and HPV, one third of the answers were given correctly. Again, a strong correlation between the knowledge and the semester of medical studies could be observed. The attitudes concerning vaccinations in general and especially for HCWs were highly positive. Conclusion This study provides some important arguments for the development of a comprehensive vaccination education for medical students.

description: Objectives: Activation and migration of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) are key mechanisms in the development of ARDS and MODS. The bone marrow (BM) plays an important role in these processes by the mobilization of young neutrophils in response to tissue damage. We recently identified three PMN[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]

description: We investigate the relationship between the poles of Igusa zeta integrals and the unextendability of semi-invariant distributions. Under some algebraic conditions, we obtain an upper bound for the order of the poles of Igusa zeta integral, and by using the order of the poles we give a criterion on the unextendability of semi-invariant distributions. A key ingredient of our method is the idea of generalized semi-invariant distributions.

description: Herein, we propose models for predicting fish early-life stage (ELS) toxicity from acute Daphnia magna toxicity and various molecular descriptors. Specifically, eight models were developed with fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) data and were validated against Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) data because the quantity of available Japanese medaka data is much smaller than the quantity of fathead minnow data. The training data set for the models consisted of ELS fathead minnow toxicity data for 77 chemicals; data for 67 of the 77 chemicals originated from the OPP Pesticide Ecotoxicity Database of the US Environmental Protection Agency. The training data were biased toward pesticides. A simple quantitative activity–activity relationship (QAAR) model based on the correlation between fish ELS and acute Daphnia magna toxicities showed good predictivity for the chemicals in the external validation data set relative to the predictivities of the other models in this study. However, goodness-of-fit and robustness were better for quantitative structure–activity–activity relationship (QSAAR) models that included molecular descriptors (such as pesticide-related atoms and substructures as well as molecular weight and three-dimensional-structure-based parameters). A battery approach involving the use of both the QAAR and the QSAARs might enhance the reliability of the estimated values and prevent underestimates.

description: Diesel engines are widely favored in transportation owing to their high operating efficiency and high reliability. However, they are known to contribute to harmful smoke and nitrogen oxides. Carbon nanoparticles as fuel additives could be a solution to mitigating diesel emission issues due to their free-metal compounds and remarkable attributes. This thesis explores the viability of carbon nanoparticle additives and describes the development of optimum formulation of carbon nanoparticle additives for a light-duty diesel engine.
Infinite S-Expansion with Ideal Subtraction and Some Applications

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: According to the literature, the S-expansion procedure involving a finite semigroup is valid no matter what the structure of the original Lie (super)algebra is; However, when something about the structure of the starting (super)algebra is known and when certain particular conditions are met, the S-expansion method (with its features of resonance and reduction) is able not only to lead to several kinds of expanded (super)algebras, but also to reproduce the effects of the standard as well as the generalized Inönü-Wigner contraction. In the present paper, we propose a new prescription for S-expansion, involving an infinite abelian semigroup $S^{(\infty)}$ and the subtraction of an infinite ideal subalgebra. We show that the subtraction of the infinite ideal subalgebra corresponds to a reduction. Our approach is a generalization of the finite S-expansion procedure presented in the literature, and it offers an alternative view of the generalized Inönü-Wigner contraction. We then show how to write the invariant tensors of the target (super)algebras in terms of those of the starting ones in the infinite S-expansion context presented in this work. We also give some interesting examples of application on algebras and superalgebras.

description: Sisal natural fiber - recycled pet bio composite is a composite material produced from sisal fiber and polyethylene Tere Phthalate (PET) injection pressing and by using hot pressing. The recycled pet has been utilized as the matrix and the natural sisal fiber acts as reinforcement in the course of the production of the composite material. The composite material has been made for the house ceiling application. In the investigation the physical properties and optimization the process parameters of the bio composite synthesized from recycled Polyethylene Tere Phatalate (pet) and Agave Sisalina (sisal) plant fiber for house celling applications, the ratio of the fiber and the pet were15/85, 25/75and 35/65 and Press times for all sample taken 10 minutes. The sisal fiber treated with 10, 15, 20 % alkali solution with treatment time 24, 48 and 72 hours. The effects of treatment time, sisal to pet ratio and concentration of alkali on internal bonding and flexural bending were investigated by using a full factorial design using Design Expert 7.0.0 and determined the optimal value. Characterization of the physiochemical properties of the bio composite was analyzed and the results obtained from experiments that internal bonding 1.36N/mm 2, flexural strength 520 N/mm 2 and the fiber has been characterized as 0.75% cuticle, 8% dry matter, 13.1 % moisture content, density of the fiber 1.33g/m , tensile strength 600-700 Mpa, yongus modulus 10.40 GPa, elongation of 2-3 % and 0.9 % ash content. 3 The obtained products were tested for their physical and mechanical properties such as density, internal bonding (IB) according to German DIN 52352 Standard and flexural bending test. The results indicated that all properties of test were coinciding with wood related particleboards. The optimal value of the internal bonding strength and flexural bending strength of the composite at sisal to pet composition ratio of 25/75 in %, treatment time at 72hr , alkali concentration 20% and plate temperature of 246 respectively.

Scots in Ireland under the Union: the boundaries of Britishness c.1800-1925

description: The aim of this study is to contribute towards historical understanding of how Scottishness, Irishness, and Britishness were constructed and operated within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, c.1800-1925. It seeks to move beyond existing comparative work concerning Scottish and Irish engagement with the British union state by focussing on direct interactions between the two groups. The thesis focuses on the activities and experiences of different groups of Scots on the island of Ireland during this period: soldiers in the Scottish regiments; Scottish politicians holding Irish office; Scottish farmers and agriculturists involved on Irish land; and the membership of Dublin’s Saint Andrew Society. It argues that in each sphere of research Scots articulated distinct versions of Scottish identity in Ireland and were correspondingly recognised as distinctly Scottish by the Irish. Whilst the elements of Scottish identity articulated by different individuals in differing contexts does not necessarily point to a consistent and coherent interpretation of Scottishness; Scottishness was, crucially, consistently deployed as a claim to expertise or superiority in areas crucial to British interests in Ireland and the wider empire. I argue that this functionality is reflective of the leading role Scots had played in defining and maintaining interpretations of Britishness which worked to privilege their own place within the union state and empire. By seeking to rigidly adhere to and enforce their interpretations of Britishness in Ireland, Scots were significant contributors to the failure of the union state to develop a version of British identity capable of including all of the inhabitants of Ireland.
