description: Abstract
                Background
                Vector-borne diseases are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the USA. Effective, convenient prevention methods are needed. Long-lasting permethrin-impregnated (LLPI) clothing can prevent tick bites, however, additional information is needed on the real-world effectiveness and safety of this preventative measure.
                Methods
                In this pilot study, we recruited state and county park employees from North Carolina to wear LLPI uniforms for three months during the summer of 2016. We collected spot urine samples for biomonitoring of permethrin metabolites at one week, one month and three months after first use of the LLPI uniform. Following three months of wear, we collected pants and socks and analyzed them for permethrin content and mortality to ticks and mosquitoes.
                Results
                Thirteen park employees were included in the analysis. Bioactive amounts of permethrin remained in all clothing swatches tested, although there was great variability. Tick mortality was high, with 78% of pant and 88% of sock swatches having mean knockdown percentages ≥ 85%. In contrast, mosquito mortality was low. Over the study period, the absorbed dosage of permethrin averaged < 4 μg/kg/d of body weight based on measurements of three metabolites.
                Conclusions
                LLPI clothing retained permethrin and bioactivity against ticks after three months of use in real-world conditions. The estimated absorbed dosage of permethrin was well below the U.S. EPA level of concern, suggesting that LLPI clothing can be used safely by outdoor workers for tick bite prevention.

description: The foundations of the inverse mean field method (Imefim) and its relation to traditional approaches are discussed. Imefim predicts the energy dependence of the real central (nuclear) part of the optical model potential to have the functional form (1 + eEp)‒3. Treating for the time being the constant e as an adjustable parameter, this prediction is shown to compare nicely with well-established formal and heuristic results. © 1983, Walter de Gruyter.

 This small and inconspicuous species has been largely overlooked, and this is probably why Rösler & Wranik (2003) wrote: “it seems relatively rare, because only few specimens have been recorded so far”. Most of the bibliographic data are from Hadiboh and the Hajhir massif, with just two exceptions: Homhil and Shu’ab (Schätti & Desvoignes, 1999; Rösler & Wranik, 2004). Haemodracon trachyrhinus has been reported up to at least 1000 m (Schätti & Desvoignes, 1999). We found Haemodracon trachyrhinus at only three sites at high altitude: Ma’alah Plateau (at 550 and at 580 m a.s.l), above Firmhin (780 m a.s.l.), and Menhem in the SW Diksam Plateau (870 m), but we also recorded it from several low altitude localities.
 Habitat. Our research proved that Haemodracon trachyrhinus is fairly common in different habitats including the widespread Croton bushes, barren stony plains, vegetated sand dunes, sparse and dense shrublands, wadi areas. During daytime it was found under stones, while at night it was observed active on the ground and also on the trunks of bushes and on Tamarix barks.

description: Intermetallic Pd-doped (Fe,Ni)$_3$P, that crystalizes in a non-centrosymmetric tetragonal structure with $S_4$ symmetry, has recently been discovered to host magnetic antiskyrmions, antivortex-like topological spin textures. In this material, uniaxial magnetic anisotropy and dipolar interactions play a significant role, giving rise to finely branched magnetic domain patterns near the surface of bulk crystals, as revealed by a previous magnetic force microscopy (MFM) measurement. However, small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) is a more suitable method for characterizing bulk properties and fractal structures at the mesoscopic length scale. In this study, using SANS and MFM, we quantitatively investigate the magnetic domain structure in bulk single crystals of (Fe$_{0.63}$Ni$_{0.30}$Pd$_{0.07}$)$_3$P. The SANS results demonstrate that the magnetic domain structure exhibits anisotropic fractal character on the length scale down to the width of the magnetic domain walls. The fractal features are gradually lost in magnetic fields, and different field dependences are observed at 300 K and 2 K due to a temperature-dependent anisotropy. This study quantifies the fractality of the highly anisotropic magnetic domain structures in an antiskyrmion material, and highlights the versatility of SANS for the study of fractal structures in magnetic systems.

 Hemidactylus dracaenacolus Rösler & Wranik, 1999: 252 —Locus typicus “Diksam, 695 m NN (Locus Typicus 12° 29.73N, 53°59.18’O), Sokotra ”.
 Hemidactylus dracaenacolus. — Rösler & Wranik, 2004: 511, Pl. 11.
 As indicated by the scientific name, Hemidactylus dracaenacolus is thought to be linked to the Dragon’s blood Tree (Dracaena cynnabari).
This recently described species was known from the two type specimens only, that have been both collected at Diksam at about 700 m a.s.l. (Rösler & Wranik, 1999, 2004).
 Habitat. We recorded many individuals in six localities of the Diksam plateau, the most distant locations are within 8.5 km from each other, the altitudes range between 762 and 1004 meters a.s.l. (Qaroni). The species was observed during the day under stones at the base of Dracaena trees, and at night active on the trunk, with only one specimen active on the ground.
 Original data. Fig. 6. Dheroh, Diksam plateau, SW Diksam.
 Bibliographic data. Rösler & Wranik (1999, 2003, 2004).
 General distribution. Apparently endemic to the Diksam Plateau of Socotra Island.
 Remarks. Up to now H. dracaenacolus was known only from the type locality. If further research will confirm that the distribution of this species is limited to a small area of the Diksam Plateau and to the Dracaena trees, Hemidactylus dracaenacolus should be considered as critically endangered due to the bad conservation status of the Dracaena trees on the island (Adolt & Pavlis, 2004; Attorre et al., 2007).

description: We introduce a temperature-dependent parameterization in the modified embedded-atom method and combine it with molecular dynamics to simulate the diverse physical properties of the δ- and ε- phases of elemental plutonium. The aim of this temperature-dependent parameterization is to mimic the different magnitudes of correlation strength of the Pu 5f electrons at different temperatures. Compared to previous temperature independent parameterization, our approach captures the negative thermal expansion and temperature dependence of the bulk moduli in the δ-phase. We trace this improvement to a strong softening of phonons near the zone boundary and an increase of the f-like partial density and anharmonic effects induced by the temperature-dependent parameterization upon increasing temperature. Our study suggests it is important to include temperature-dependent parameterization in classical force field methods to simulate complex materials such as Pu.

description: Abstract Background Services to treat tobacco dependence are not readily available to smokers in low-middle income countries (LMICs) where smoking prevalence remains high. We are conducting a cluster randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of two strategies for implementing tobacco use treatment guidelines in 26 community health centers (CHCs) in Viet Nam. Guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), prior to implementing the trial, we conducted formative research to (1) identify factors that may influence guideline implementation and (2) inform further modifications to the intervention that may be necessary to translate a model of care delivery from a high-income country (HIC) to the local context of a LMIC. Methods We conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews with CHC medical directors, health care providers, and village health workers (VHWs) in eight CHCs (n = 40). Interviews were transcribed verbatim and translated into English. Two qualitative researchers used both deductive (CFIR theory driven) and inductive (open coding) approaches to analysis developed codes and themes relevant to the aims of this study. Results The interviews explored four out of five CFIR domains (i.e., intervention characteristics, outer setting, inner setting, and individual characteristics) that were relevant to the analysis. Potential facilitators of the intervention included the relative advantage of the intervention compared with current practice (intervention characteristics), awareness of the burden of tobacco use in the population (outer setting), tension for change due to a lack of training and need for skill building and leadership engagement (inner setting), and a strong sense of collective efficacy to provide tobacco cessation services (individual characteristics). Potential barriers included the perception that the intervention was more complex (intervention characteristic) and not necessarily compatible (inner setting) with current workflows and staffing historically designed to address infectious disease prevention and control rather than chronic disease prevention and competing priorities that are determined by the MOH (outer setting). Conclusions In this study, CFIR provided a valuable framework for evaluating factors that may influence implementation of a systems-level intervention for tobacco control in a LMIC and understand what adaptations may be needed to translate a model of care delivery from a HIC to a LMIC.

description: Trustworthiness especially for service oriented system is very important topic now a day in IT field of the whole world. There are many successful E-commerce organizations presently run in the whole world, but E-commerce has not reached its full potential. The main reason behind this is lack of Trust of people in e-commerce. Again, proper models are still absent for calculating trust of different e-commerce organizations. Most of the present trust models are subjective and have failed to account vagueness and ambiguity of different domain. In this paper we have proposed a new fuzzy logic based Certain Trust model which considers these ambiguity and vagueness of different domain. Fuzzy Based Certain Trust Model depends on some certain values given by experts and developers. can be applied in a system like cloud computing, internet, website, e-commerce, etc. to ensure trustworthiness of these platforms. In this paper we show, although fuzzy works with uncertainties, proposed model works with some certain values. Some experimental results and validation of the model with linguistics terms are shown at the last part of the paper.

Als Untersuchungsmaterial dienten Nassholz-Restbestände des KUR-Projektes »Massenfunde in archäologischen Sammlungen«. Aus diesem Grund ist die Probenauswahl in Bezug auf die vertretenen Holzarten und Abbaugrade sehr unhomogen. Die Proben wurden im Abstand von vier Jahren gewogen und ihr
Volumen mithilfe eines Streifenlichtscanners bestimmt. Trotz der ungleichartigen Proben ließen sich gleichartige Erscheinungen beobachten. Bei einem Großteil der Objekte wurde ein Verlust von bis zu 5 % sowohl an Masse als auch an Volumen festgestellt.

The analysed objects were remainders from the KUR-Project »Mass finds in archaeological Collections «. For this reason, the selection of samples is quite inhomogeneous concerning the types of wood and the degree of degradation. The samples were weighed and
scanned with a structured-light scanner at intervals of four years. In spite of the inhomogeneous samples, homogeneous observations could be made. The majority of the objects showed a loss of up to 5 % of mass as well as volume.

description: Abstract Background Human papillomavirus (HPV) seroprevalence data have not previously been reported for different geographical regions of China. This study investigated the cross-sectional seroprevalence of antibodies to HPV 6, 11, 16, and 18 virus-like particles in Chinese women. Methods Population-based samples of women were enrolled from 2006 to 2007 in 3 rural and 2 urban areas of China. Each consenting woman completed a questionnaire and provided a blood sample. Serum antibodies were detected using a competitive Luminex immunoassay that measures antibodies to type-specific, neutralizing epitopes on the virus-like particles. Results A total of 4,731 women (median age 35, age range 14-54) were included, of which 4,211 were sexually active women (median age 37) and 520 virgins (median age 18). Low risk HPV 6 was the most common serotype detected (7.3%), followed by HPV 16 (5.6%), HPV 11 (2.9%), and HPV 18 (1.9%). Overall HPV seroprevalence to any type was significantly higher among sexually active women (15.8%) than virgins (2.5%) (P = 0.005). Overall seroprevalence among sexually active women gradually increased with age. Women from rural regions had significantly lower overall seroprevalence (Odds Ratio (OR) = 0.7; 95% CI: 0.6-0.9, versus metropolitan regions, P < 0.001). With increasing number of sexual partners, women were at higher risk of seropositivity of any type (OR = 2.6; 95% CI: 1.7-3.9 for > = 4 partners versus 1 partner, P < 0.001). Wives were at higher risk of seropositivity for HPV 16/18/6/11 when reporting having a husband who had an extramarital sexual relationship (OR = 2.0; 95% CI: 1.6-2.5, versus those whose husbands having no such relationship, P < 0.001). There was a strong association between HPV 16 seropositivity and presence of high-grade cervical lesions (OR = 6.5; 95% CI: 3.7-11.4, versus normal cervix, P < 0.001). Conclusions HPV seroprevalence differed significantly by age, geography, and sexual behavior within China, which all should be considered when implementing an optimal prophylactic HPV vaccination program in China.

description: Abstract Background Many studies examining the social correlates of tobacco use among adolescents fail to recognise theories of health behaviour and health promotion in their analysis. Using the Socio-Ecologiocal Model (SEM) we assessed the demographic and social factors associated with current cigarette smoking among adolescents in Thailand. Method A secondary analysis of cross-sectional data from the Thai Global Youth Tobacco Survey (Thai GYTS) 2005 was analysed to obtain prevalence of selected attributes and assess factors associated with current cigarette smoking. Current cigarette smoking was defined as having smoked a cigarette, even a single puff, in the last 30 days. Logistic regression was conducted to estimate the level of association between the explanatory variables and current smoking. Results Of the 18,368 respondents, 22.0% males and 5.2% females reported being current smokers (p < 0.001). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, current smoking was negatively associated with the perception that smoking is harmful to health (OR = 0.47; 95% CI [0.33, 0.66]) and positively associated with male gender (OR = 3.46; 95% CI [2.72, 4.86]) and having smoking parents (OR = 1.62; 95% CI [1.25, 2.11]) and friends (OR = 5.07; 95% CI [3.54, 7.25]) for some friends smokers and OR = 26.71; 95% CI [18.26, 39.06] for most or all friends smokers. Compared to subjects 11 = 12 year olds, those who were older were less likely to report smoking (OR = 0.49; 95% CI [0.36, 0.66] for 13 years olds, OR = 0.56; 95% CI [0.40, 0.79] for 14 years olds, OR = 0.59; 95% CI [0.41, 0.86] for 15 years olds). Conclusion Current cigarette smoking was associated with male gender, smoking parents or closest peers. Perception that smoking was harmful to health was associated with less likelihood of being a current smoker.

description: Using a nonlocal version of the Polyakov-loop-extended Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model, we investi- gate effects of a nonderivative vector-current interaction (relating to the quark-number density) at both real and imaginary chemical potentials. This repulsive vector interaction between quarks has the following impact on the chiral first-order phase transition: at imaginary chemical potential it sharpens the transition at the Roberge-Weiss (RW) end point and moves this critical point toward lower temperatures; at real chemical potential, the critical end point moves on a trajectory towards larger chemical potentials and lower temperatures with increasing vector coupling strength. The conditions are discussed at which the first-order phase transition disappears and turns into a smooth crossover.

description: Abstract Background Informal care, the health care provided by the patient’s social network is important in low income settings although its monetary value is rarely estimated. The lack of estimates of the value of informal care has led to its omission in economic evaluations but this can result in incorrect decisions about cost effectiveness of an intervention. We explore the use of contingent valuation methods of willingness to pay (WTP) and willingness to accept (WTA) to estimate the value of informal care provided to HIV infected women that are accessing antiretroviral therapy (ART) under the Option B+ approach to prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV in Malawi. Methods We collected cross sectional data from 93 caregivers of women that received ART care from six health facilities in Malawi. Caregivers of women that reported for ART care on the survey day and consented to participate in the survey were included until the targeted sample size for the facility was reached. We estimated the value of informal care by using the willingness to accept (WTA) and willingness to pay (WTP) approaches. Medians were used to summarize the values and these were compared by the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results The median WTA to provide informal care in a month was US$30 and the median WTP for informal care was US$13 and the two were statistically different (p < 0.000). Median WTP was higher in the urban areas than in the rural areas (US$21 vs. US$13, p < 0.001) and for caregivers from households from higher wealth quintile than in the lower quintile (US$15 vs. US$13, p < 0.0462). Conclusion Informal caregivers place substantial value on informal care giving. In low income settings where most caregivers are not formally employed, WTP and WTA approaches can be used to value informal care. Clinical trial number NCT02005835 .

description: In this exposition, we propose a notion of rank and rigidity of locally nilpotent derivations of affine fibrations. We show that the concept is analogous to the perception of rank and rigidity of locally nilpotent derivations of polynomial algebras. Our results characterize locally nilpotent derivations of $\mathbb{A}^3$-fibrations having slice by classifying the fixed point free locally nilpotent derivations in terms of their ranks.

description: Mn$_{3-x}$Ga (x = 0.1, 0.4, 0.7) thin films on MgO and SrTiO$_3$ substrates were investigated with magnetic anisotropy perpendicular to the film plane. An anomalous Hall-effect was observed for the tetragonal distorted lattice in the crystallographic D0$_{22}$ phase. The Hall resistivity $\varrho_{xy}$ was measured in a temperature range from 20 to 330 K. The determined skew scattering and side jump coefficients are discussed with regard to the film composition and used substrate and compared to the crystallographic and magnetic properties.

description: Dissolution testing is part of the target product quality that is essential in approving new products in the pharmaceutical industry. The prediction of the dissolution profile based on spectroscopic data is an alternative to the current destructive and time-consuming method. Raman and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopies are two fast and complementary methods that provide information on the tablets' physical and chemical properties and can help predict their dissolution profiles. This work aims to compare the information collected by these spectroscopy methods to support the decision of which measurements should be used so that the accuracy requirement of the industry is met. Artificial neural network models were created, in which the spectroscopy data and the measured compression curves were used as an input individually and in different combinations in order to estimate the dissolution profiles. Results showed that using only the NIR transmission method along with the compression force data or the Raman and NIR reflection methods, the dissolution profile was estimated within the acceptance limits of the f2 similarity factor. Adding further spectroscopy measurements increased the prediction accuracy.

 Hemidactylus forbesii, like other Abd al-Kuri endemics, is a very poorly known species with unclear phylogenetic relationships. It seems rather widespread across the island where it was found both close to the sea and in the inland. It is strictly nocturnal. In places where it is present, is rather numerous. In March 2010 we found very large eggs under fossil corals and in rock crevices and cracks. Our observations agree with those by W. R. Ogilvie-Grant (in Boulenger, 1903), who reported that the species was “ very common below stones”. Rösler & Wranik (2004) made few interesting behavioural observations including one individual that fled in the marine water and swam to a rock nearby.
 Original data. Fig. 8. Abd al-Kuri Island.
 Habitat. Rocks, piles of stones or corals close to the sea on sandy ground, among debris.

description: Abstract Background The dynorphin-kappa opioid receptor (KOR) system regulates glial proliferation after sciatic nerve injury. Here, we investigated its role in cell proliferation following partial ligation of infraorbital nerve (pIONL), a model for trigeminal neuropathic pain. Mechanical allodynia was enhanced in KOR gene deleted mice (KOR-/-) compared to wild type mice. Using bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) as a mitotic marker, we assessed cell proliferation in three different areas of the trigeminal afferent pathway: trigeminal nucleus principalis (Vp), trigeminal root entry zone (TREZ), and trigeminal ganglion (TG). Results In KOR-/- mice or norBNI-treated mice, the number of proliferating cells in the Vp was significantly less than in WT mice, whereas cell proliferation was enhanced in TREZ and TG. The majority of the proliferating cells were nestin positive stem cells or CD11b positive microglia in the Vp and macrophages in the TG. GFAP-positive astrocytes made a clear borderline between the CNS and the PNS in TREZ, and phosphorylated KOR staining (KOR-p) was detectable only in the astrocytes in CNS in WT mice but not in KOR-/- or norBNI-treated mice. Conclusions These results show that kappa opioid receptor system has different effects after pIONL in CNS and PNS: KOR activation promotes CNS astrocytosis and microglial or stem cell proliferation but inhibits macrophage proliferation in PNS. The trigeminal central root has a key role in the etiology and treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, and these newly identified responses may provide new targets for developing pain therapies.

description: We derive relations for baryon photo-decay amplitudes both for the Breit-Wigner and the pole positions. With an updated SAID partial wave analysis, technically similar to the earliest Virginia Tech analysis of photoproduction data, we compare photo-decay amplitudes at both resonance positions for a few selected nucleon resonances. Comparisons are made and a qualitative similarity, seen between the pole and Breit-Wigner values extracted by the Bonn-Gatchina group, is confirmed in the present study.

description: Abstract Background Mental health is a neglected area of health research and practice in most of sub-Saharan African countries where the largest burden of morbidity is from infectious diseases. This even occurs despite the fact that some mental health problems may arise from infectious diseases. Methods We conducted secondary analysis of the Uganda Global School-Based Health Survey-2003 to obtain the prevalence of, and assess factors that may be associated with suicidal ideation among school-going adolescents in rural Uganda. Assessment of association was conducted through both bi-variate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results Altogether 21.6% of the study participants, 21.3% males and 23.5% females had seriously considered committing suicide within the past 12 months. Loneliness, worry were positively associated with suicide ideation after adjusting for age, gender, smoking, drinking, and experience of having been bullied (OR = 1.59; 95% CI [1.12, 2.26] and OR = 1.19; 95% CI [1.12, 2.25]) respectively. Males were less likely to seriously consider committing suicide than females (OR = 0.70; 95% CI [0.50, 0.98]). Conclusion Adolescent suicidal ideation is a major public health issue in rural Uganda. Measures aimed to prevent adolescent suicides in Uganda should incorporate our understanding of factors that are associated with suicide in rural Uganda such the gender disparity and the association observed with substance use.
