description: We report the results of our observations of HI absorption towards the central region of the rejuvenated radio galaxy 4C29.30 (J0840+2949) with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). The radio source has diffuse, extended emission with an angular size of $\sim$520 arcsec (639 kpc) within which a compact edge-brightened double-lobed source with a size of 29 arcsec (36 kpc) is embedded. The absorption profile which is seen towards the central component of the inner double is well resolved and consists of six components; all but one of which appears to be red-shifted relative to the optical systemic velocity. The neutral hydrogen column density is estimated to be $N$(HI)=4.7$\times10^{21}$($T_s$/100)($f_c$/1.0) cm$^{-2}$, where $T_s$ and $f_c$ are the spin temperature and covering factor of the background source respectively. This detection reinforces a strong correlation between the occurrence of HI absorption and rejuvenation of radio activity suggested earlier, with the possibility that the red-shifted gas is fuelling the recent activity.

description: In this paper, we propose an eXtended Virtual Element Method (X-VEM) for two-dimensional linear elastic fracture. This approach, which is an extension of the standard Virtual Element Method (VEM), facilitates mesh-independent modeling of crack discontinuities and elastic crack-tip singularities on general polygonal meshes. For elastic fracture in the X-VEM, the standard virtual element space is augmented by additional basis functions that are constructed by multiplying standard virtual basis functions by suitable enrichment fields, such as asymptotic mixed-mode crack-tip solutions. The design of the X-VEM requires an extended projector that maps functions lying in the extended virtual element space onto a set spanned by linear polynomials and the enrichment fields. An efficient scheme to compute the mixed-mode stress intensity factors using the domain form of the interaction integral is described. The formulation permits integration of weakly singular functions to be performed over the boundary edges of the element. Numerical experiments are conducted on benchmark mixed-mode linear elastic fracture problems that demonstrate the sound accuracy and optimal convergence in energy of the proposed formulation.

description: In practical applications of tomographic imaging, there are often challenges for image reconstruction due to under-sampling and insufficient data. In computed tomography (CT), for example, image reconstruction from few views would enable rapid scanning with a reduced x-ray dose delivered to the patient. Limited-angle problems are also of practical significance in CT. In this work, we develop and investigate an iterative image reconstruction algorithm based on the minimization of the image total variation (TV) that applies to divergent-beam CT. Numerical demonstrations of our TV algorithm are performed with various insufficient data problems in fan-beam CT. The TV algorithm can be generalized to cone-beam CT as well as other tomographic imaging modalities.

description: Groundwater resources are essential for the supply of drinking water in the European Union but significant uncertainties surround their quality. In this context, our article analyzes the factors that influence the cooperation of key stakeholders to prevent the risk of diffuse pollution from agriculture. We built on the institutional rational choice approach and the social-ecological system framework to design our analytical framework and hypotheses. We applied this analytical framework to two cases of cooperation involving drinking water suppliers and farmers in the management of the risk of non-point source pollution from agriculture in France. Our results show that cooperation emerges when the water resource is important for water suppliers to take on the leadership. Our results also characterize the role played by uncertainties and risk in getting stakeholders involved, and finally, suggest that cooperation depends on the size and predictability of the resource system.

description: Unruh radiation is the thermal flux seen by an accelerated observer moving through Minkowski spacetime. In this article we study Unruh radiation as tunneling through a barrier. We use a WKB-like method to obtain the tunneling rate and the temperature of the Unruh radiation. This derivation brings together many topics into a single problem - classical mechanics, relativity, relativistic field theory, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics and mathematical physics. Moreover, this gravitational WKB method helps to highlight the following subtle points: (i) the tunneling rate strictly should be written as the closed path integral of the canonical momentum; (ii) for the case of the gravitational WKB problem, there is a time-like contribution to the tunneling rate arising from an imaginary change of the time coordinate upon crossing the horizon. This temporal contribution to the tunneling rate has no analog in the ordinary quantum mechanical WKB calculation.

description: Emotions are generally considered to be important elements of consumer behavior, but little research has investigated the link between emotions and consumers’ adoption behavior relating to electric vehicles (EVs). To address this gap, this study examines the roles of emotions in EV adoption intention by focusing on pride and guilt and explores the impact of perceived value on these causal processes. We proposed a research model and empirically tested it using 405 survey responses collected from China. The structural equation modeling analysis results indicate that both pride and guilt significantly affect EV adoption intention, and the effect of pride is stronger than that of guilt. Perceived value mediates the relationships between emotions and EV adoption behavior. We also found differences between men and women. The findings of this study contribute to a better understanding of the role of emotions in consumers’ EV adoption behavior, and provide recommendations for the promotion of EVs.

description: We present detailed elemental abundances, radial velocity, and orbital elements for Patchick~125, a recently discovered metal-poor globular cluster (GC) in the direction of the Galactic bulge. Near-infrared high-resolution ($R\sim22,500$) spectra of two members were obtained during the second phase of the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment at Las Campanas Observatory as part of the sixteenth Data Release (DR 16) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We investigated elemental abundances for four chemical species, including $α$- (Mg, Si), Fe-peak (Fe), and odd-Z (Al) elements. We find a metallicity covering the range from [Fe/H] $= -1.69$ to $-1.72$, suggesting that Patchick~125 likely exhibits a mean metallicity $\langle$[Fe/H]$\rangle \sim -1.7$, which represents a significant increase in metallicity for this cluster compared to previous low-resolution spectroscopic analyses. We also found a mean radial velocity of 95.9 km s$^{-1}$, which is $\sim$21.6 km s$^{-1}$ higher than reported in the literature. The observed stars exhibit an $α$-enrichment ([Mg/Fe]$\lesssim+0.20$, and [Si/Fe]$\lesssim +0.30$) that follows the typical trend of metal-poor GCs. The aluminum abundance ratios for the present two member stars are enhanced in [Al/Fe]$\gtrsim +0.58$, which is a typical enrichment characteristic of the so-called `second-generation' of stars in GCs at similar metallicity. This supports the possible presence of the multiple-population phenomenon in Patchick~125, as well as its genuine GC nature. Further, Patchick~125 shows a low-energy, low-eccentric ($<0.4$) and retrograde orbit captured by the inner Galaxy, near the edge of the bulge. We confirm that Patchick~125 is a genuine metal-poor GC, which is currently trapped in the vicinity of the Milky Way bulge.

description: We report 7Li NMR studies of V-substitution effects on spinel oxide superconductor LiTi2O4 (Tc = 13.4 K). In LiTi2-xVxO4 (x = 0-0.4), the V substitution for the Ti site suppressed the relative volume fraction of superconductivity faster than Tc. From the observation of fairly homogeneous enhancement in a 7Li nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate, we conclude that the V substitution changes electron correlation effects through electron carrier doping from quarter electron filling 3d0.5 to 3d1.5 and then the antiferromagnetic correlation emerges.

description: My work is focused on George Friel, a distinguished Scottish writer known for his witty style
bristling with puns and more or less literary allusions. In particular I proposed an annotated
translation of what can be considered his masterpiece “Mr Alfred M.A.” in which wordplay has a
central role for its plot. In the first part of my thesis I outlined the fundamental features of Friel’s
writing: the wide variety of registers and styles, the rhythm and irony. Additionally I pointed out the
strategies that the translator has to face when translating this text.
Finally I identified the number of problems which may arise while translating Friel’s “Mr Alfred
M.A.” into Italian with particular concern on the strategies of supplementation and explicitation for
wordplay.

description: We consider a family of new Higgs-Chern-Simons (HCS) gravity models in 2n+1 dimensions (n=1,2,3). This provides a generalization of the (usual) gravitational Chern-Simons (CS) gravitaties resulting from non- Abelian CS densities in all odd dimensions, which feature vector and scalar fields in addition to the metric. The derivation of the new HCS gravitational (HCSG) actions follows the same method as in the usual-CSG case resulting from the usual CS densities. The HCSG result from the HCS densities, which result through a one-step descent of the Higgs-Chern-Pontryagin (HCP), the latter being descended from Chern-Pontryagin (CP) densities in some even dimension. A preliminary study of the solutions of these models is considered, with exact solutions being reported for spacetime dimensions d = 3, 5.

Subjects: SPS/10 Sociologia dell'ambiente e del territorio

description: The rationale behind this piece of research is to study the movement of people from
Bologna city centre to its outskirts and to find out what type of people are subject to move
and the reasons for this: are they forced into or do they choose to do so?
The present study will also consider how people commute from home to the city centre
and the effect this has on them. For the purpose of this work, attention will be drawn to the
possibility of these outer areas to develop in such a way that people will no longer need to
commute to the city in order to recreate the advantages this offers to them (e.g. shops, job
opportunities, ext). The theoretical framework this doctorial work is based upon concerns
historical, urbanist, sociological and demographic approaches, along with the fact that the
hegemony of the city centre has been benefiting has decreased. Historical centres and the
central poles of metropolitan systems have lost their functional and symbolic relevance.
More specifically, the Bologna Area is undergoing two tendencies: the first one is a
process of residential decentralization from the capital town, capable of involving a plurality
of social groups, which caused an enrichment of the social composition of "suburban"
population. The second process is a partial substitution of the population in the city centre
with new groups: this not only occurred with directional groups, but it has also interested
new parts of the “service worker” class and members of metropolitan underclass, causing,
consequentially, a growing complexity in central areas of the metropolitan system. The
need to increase knowledge of Bologna territory has become more and more relevant,
since the 70’s, when a series of important environmental transformations favoured a
research interest that did not exclusively stopped within the city centre boarders, but rather
encouraged the exploration of Bologna outer/suburban areas. Finally, in the
urban/suburban discourse, this piece of research has highlighted how the search for a
better quality of life (financial reasons, larger spaces, possibility to buy/rent for a better
price, environmental issues) determines the choice to leave the centre of the city in favour
of outer areas. The tendency that this doctorial work has brought to surface is the need to
match a more manageable standard of living to the proximity to the city, despite the fact
that this results in the stress caused to commuting and the lack of those cultural and
entertaining facilities offered by the city. The new suburban inhabitants do not regret
leaving the city, but, at the same time, do not feel emotionally attached to the new location
at a community level: what they seem to look for is a more comfortable environment where
to live in.

description: The chemical states of Ni, Zn, and W in microcrystalline NiWO$_4$-ZnWO$_4$ solid solutions were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The recorded spectra of the Ni 2p, Zn 2p, and W 4f photoelectron lines and Ni L$_2$M$_{23}$M$_{45}$, Zn L$_3$M$_{45}$M$_{45}$, and W N$_4$N$_{67}$N$_{7}$ Auger-transition lines show pronounced changes with increasing Zn concentration. The positions of the resolved photoelectron and Auger-transition lines were combined to construct so-called chemical-state plots (Wagner or Auger-parameter plots) for metal ions in solid solutions. With increasing Zn concentration, the Auger parameter increases for Ni and decreases for W, thus evidencing a lowering and an increase of the electronic polarizability around core-ionized Ni and W ions, respectively. At the same time, the character of Zn-O bonds and the local structure around Zn ions do not change. It is concluded that the dilution of NiWO$_4$ with Zn ions is accompanied by an increase of the Ni-O bond ionicity and an increase of the W-O bond covalency. These changes are attributed to the charge redistribution among [NiO$_6$] and [WO$_6$] structural units. We show that a careful in-depth analysis of XPS data obtained with a laboratory-based X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy system can give chemically sensitive, qualitative information on the changes in the first coordination spheres of each metal ion. This information is otherwise accessible only by synchrotron-based techniques (such as X-ray absorption spectroscopy).

description: Artificial intelligence AI can bring substantial benefits to society by helping to reduce costs, increase efficiency and enable new solutions to complex problems. Using Floridi's notion of how to design the 'infosphere' as a starting point, in this chapter I consider the question: what are the limits of design, i.e. what are the conceptual constraints on designing AI for social good? The main argument of this chapter is that while design is a useful conceptual tool to shape technologies and societies, collective efforts towards designing future societies are constrained by both internal and external factors. Internal constraints on design are discussed by evoking Hardin's thought experiment regarding 'the Tragedy of the Commons'. Further, Hayek's classical distinction between 'cosmos' and 'taxis' is used to demarcate external constraints on design. Finally, five design principles are presented which are aimed at helping policymakers manage the internal and external constraints on design. A successful approach to designing future societies needs to account for the emergent properties of complex systems by allowing space for serendipity and socio-technological coevolution.

description: The development of ferromagnetism in Mn-doped Bi2Te3 is characterized through measurements on a series of single crystals with different Mn content. Scanning tunneling microscopy analysis shows that the Mn substitutes on the Bi sites, forming compounds of the type Bi2-xMnxTe3, and that the Mn substitutions are randomly distributed, not clustered. Mn doping first gives rise to local magnetic moments with Curie-like behavior, but by the compositions Bi1.96Mn0.04Te3 and Bi1.91Mn0.09Te3 a second order ferromagnetic transition is observed, with Tc ~ 9-12 K. The easy axis of magnetization in the ferromagnetic phase is perpendicular to the Bi2Te3 basal plane. Thermoelectric power and Hall effect measurements show that the Mn-doped Bi2Te3 crystals are p-type. Angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements show that the topological surface states that are present in pristine Bi2Te3 are also present in ferromagnetic Mn-doped Bi2-xMnxTe3, and that the dispersion relations of the surface states are changed in a subtle fashion.
Associative intrusions in vocabulary performance of schizophrenic, nonschizophrenic and nonpsychiatric patients
Creators: name: Klinka, Jan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Recently (1973),Rattan and Chapman reported the use of the first testing instrument capable of separating specific from generalized human performance deficits and were able to show the presence of specific associative intrusion deficits in the vocabulary performance of chronic schizophrenics. The Rattan and Chapman Multiple-Choice Vocabulary Test which consists of subtests with and without associative distractors that are matched on discriminating power was administered in the present study to 84 hospitalized patients who were equally distributed into schizophrenic, nonschizophrenic, and nonpsychiatric patient groups. The patients in these groups were also divided on the basis of length of hospitalization into long- and short term samples. The subjects' vocabulary accuracy was analyzed in order to ascertain whether a heightened susceptibility toward associative intrusions can be found in patients other than chronic schizophrenics and whether length of hospitalization has any effect on the patients' vocabulary performance. The results showed that all long-term patients exhibited significant performance deficits on the subtest with associative distractors compared to their performance on the matched subtest without associative distractors. Of the short-term patients, only schizophrenics showed a tendency toward a similar susceptibility to associative distractors. These results, though supportive of the associative interference theory of schizophrenia, also indicate that this deficit is not peculiar to schizophrenia; rather, it may be related to prolonged institutionalization regardless of psychiatric or nonpsychiatric diagnosis.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND SELF-EFFICACY AMONG NURSING STUDENTS: AN EXPLORATORY CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY

description: Abstract

Background: Nursing students require emotional intelligence (EI) and self-efficacy (SE) to effectively manage patient care, communication, and professional growth. This study investigated the relationship between emotional intelligence and self-efficacy among nursing students. Methodology: A cross-sectional survey was carried out utilizing standardized instruments, namely the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale and the General Self-Efficacy Scale. A sample of nursing students from a university was recruited for the study, using a convenience sampling method. Participant emotional intelligence (EI) and self-efficacy scores were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Correlation analyses were conducted to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and self-efficacy in nursing students. Results: The majority of nursing students demonstrated a significant level of emotional intelligence (69.46%) and self-efficacy (57.94%). There was a notable correlation between emotional intelligence and self-efficacy. The strongest correlation was found between managing one's own emotions and self-efficacy (r = .604**), while the weakest correlation was observed between managing one's own emotions and perception of emotion (r = .545**). Conclusion: Nursing students must possess emotional intelligence and self-efficacy. This requirement has significant implications for education and training programs. Emotional intelligence and self-efficacy aid nursing students in effectively managing the intricate emotional and professional requirements of their profession, thereby enhancing patient care and job satisfaction.

description: Il lavoro eseguito comprende 3 differenti studi inerenti l’approfondimento di diversi aspetti della fisiopatologia della prostata, in particolare l’aspetto clinico, biochimico ed ormonale. 
Per quanto riguarda l’aspetto clinico è stato eseguito uno studio ecografico sull’accrescimento e sviluppo della ghiandola, a partire dai 4 giorni di vita all’anno di età del cane.
L’aspetto biochimico dell’organo è stato indagato nel secondo studio, analizzando l’eventuali differenze nel profilo proteico e nel profilo dello zinco, valutato con spettrofotometria ad assorbimento atomico, su campioni di plasma seminale di cani sani o cani affetti da iperplasia prostatica benigna sintomatica od asintomatica. Lo studio è stato eseguito allo scopo di valutare se l’approccio biochimico ai problemi prostatici possa essere d’aiuto nella diagnosi della più comune patologia della prostata, l’iperplasia prostatica benigna.
Il terzo studio inerente l’aspetto ormonale della prostata, completa lo studio precedente, analizzando le eventuali differenze ormonali (Testosterone, Estrogeni e Progesterone) riscontrabili fra due gruppi di cani: i cani sani e quelli affetti da iperplasia prostatica benigna.

description: We study the performance of the adaptive construction scheme for a Bayesian inference on the Quadratic GARCH model which introduces the asymmetry in time series dynamics. In the adaptive construction scheme a proposal density in the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm is constructed adaptively by changing the parameters of the density to fit the posterior density. Using artificial QGARCH data we infer the QGARCH parameters by applying the adaptive construction scheme to the Bayesian inference of QGARCH model. We find that the adaptive construction scheme samples QGARCH parameters effectively, i.e. correlations between the sampled data are very small. We conclude that the adaptive construction scheme is an efficient method to the Bayesian estimation of the QGARCH model.

description: The operation at the Z-pole of the FCC-ee machine will deliver the highest possible instantaneous luminosities with the goal of collecting the largest Z boson datasets (Tera-Z), and enable a programme of Standard Model physics studies with unprecedented precision. The data acquisition and trigger systems of the FCC-ee experiments must be designed to be as unbiased and robust as possible, with the goal of containing the systematic uncertainties associated with these datasets at the smallest possible level, in order to not compromise the extremely small statistical uncertainties. In designing these experiments, we are confronted by questions on detector readout speeds with an extremely tight material and power budget, trigger systems with a first hardware level or implemented exclusively on software, impact of background sources on event sizes, ultimate precision luminosity monitoring (to the $10^{-5} - 10^{-4}$ level), and sensitivity to a broad range of non-conventional exotic signatures, such as long-lived non-relativistic particles. We will review the various challenges on online selection for the most demanding Tera-Z running scenario and the constraints they pose on the design of FCC-ee detectors.

description: A main objective of the human movement analysis is the quantitative description of joint
kinematics and kinetics. This information may have great possibility to address clinical problems
both in orthopaedics and motor rehabilitation. Previous studies have shown that the assessment of
kinematics and kinetics from stereophotogrammetric data necessitates a setup phase, special
equipment and expertise to operate. Besides, this procedure may cause feeling of uneasiness on the
subjects and may hinder with their walking. The general aim of this thesis is the implementation
and evaluation of new 2D markerless techniques, in order to contribute to the development of an
alternative technique to the traditional stereophotogrammetric techniques.
At first, the focus of the study has been the estimation of the ankle-foot complex kinematics
during stance phase of the gait. Two particular cases were considered: subjects barefoot and
subjects wearing ankle socks. The use of socks was investigated in view of the development of the
hybrid method proposed in this work. Different algorithms were analyzed, evaluated and
implemented in order to have a 2D markerless solution to estimate the kinematics for both cases.
The validation of the proposed technique was done with a traditional stereophotogrammetric
system. The implementation of the technique leads towards an easy to configure (and more
comfortable for the subject) alternative to the traditional stereophotogrammetric system.
Then, the abovementioned technique has been improved so that the measurement of knee
flexion/extension could be done with a 2D markerless technique. The main changes on the
implementation were on occlusion handling and background segmentation. With the additional
constraints, the proposed technique was applied to the estimation of knee flexion/extension and
compared with a traditional stereophotogrammetric system. Results showed that the knee
flexion/extension estimation from traditional stereophotogrammetric system and the proposed
markerless system were highly comparable, making the latter a potential alternative for clinical use.
A contribution has also been given in the estimation of lower limb kinematics of the children
with cerebral palsy (CP). For this purpose, a hybrid technique, which uses high-cut underwear and
ankle socks as “segmental markers” in combination with a markerless methodology, was proposed.
The proposed hybrid technique is different than the abovementioned markerless technique in terms
of the algorithm chosen. Results showed that the proposed hybrid technique can become a simple
and low-cost alternative to the traditional stereophotogrammetric systems.

description: The Great Observatories All-sky LIRG Survey (GOALS) combines data from NASA's Spitzer, Chandra, Hubble and GALEX observatories, together with ground-based data into a comprehensive imaging and spectroscopic survey of over 200 low redshift Luminous Infrared Galaxies (LIRGs). The LIRGs are a complete subset of the IRAS Revised Bright Galaxy Sample (RBGS). The LIRGs targeted in GOALS span the full range of nuclear spectral types defined via traditional optical line-ratio diagrams as well as interaction stages. They provide an unbiased picture of the processes responsible for enhanced infrared emission in galaxies in the local Universe. As an example of the analytic power of the multi-wavelength GOALS dataset, we present data for the interacting system VV 340 (IRAS F14547+2449). Between 80-95% of the total far-infrared emission (or about 5E11 solar luminosities) originates in VV 340 North. While the IRAC colors of VV 340 North and South are consistent with star-forming galaxies, both the Spitzer IRS and Chandra ACIS data indicate the presence of a buried AGN in VV 340 North. The GALEX far and near-UV fluxes imply a extremely large infrared "excess" (IRX) for the system (IR/FUV = 81) which is well above the correlation seen in starburst galaxies. Most of this excess is driven by VV 340 N, which alone has an IR excess of nearly 400. The VV 340 system seems to be comprised of two very different galaxies - an infrared luminous edge-on galaxy (VV 340 North) that dominates the long-wavelength emission from the system and which hosts a buried AGN, and a face-on starburst (VV 340 South) that dominates the short-wavelength emission.

description: Electrification turned over a new leaf in aviation by introducing new types of aerial vehicles along with new means of transportation. Addressing a plethora of use cases, drones are gaining attention and increasingly appear in the sky. Emerging concepts of flying taxi enable passengers to be transported over several tens of kilometers. Therefore, unmanned traffic management systems are under development to cope with the complexity of future airspace, thereby resulting in unprecedented communication needs. Moreover, the increase in the number of commercial airplanes pushes the limits of voice-oriented communications, and future options such as single-pilot operations demand robust connectivity. In this survey, we provide a comprehensive review and vision for enabling the connectivity applications of aerial vehicles utilizing current and future communication technologies. We begin by categorizing the connectivity use cases per aerial vehicle and analyzing their connectivity requirements. By reviewing more than 500 related studies, we aim for a comprehensive approach to cover wireless communication technologies, and provide an overview of recent findings from the literature toward the possibilities and challenges of employing the wireless communication standards. After analyzing the network architectures, we list the open-source testbed platforms to facilitate future investigations. This study helped us observe that while numerous works focused on cellular technologies for aerial platforms, a single wireless technology is not sufficient to meet the stringent connectivity demands of the aerial use cases. We identified the need of further investigations on multi-technology network architectures to enable robust connectivity in the sky. Future works should consider suitable technology combinations to develop unified aerial networks that can meet the diverse quality of service demands.

description: Abstract

BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are primarily caused by atherosclerosis, which first manifests in children as damage to the arteries and its inner linings. Evidence suggested that childhood obesity and adult CVD risk factors are positively correlated. An independent CVD risk factor is the measurement of carotid intima-media thickness(cIMT), a noninvasive technique which is substitute or early marker for atherosclerotic changes. Its helps to find out the main risk factors that occurs mainly between obese children and teenagers who are more likely to experience an increase in cIMT. OBJECTIVES:  The aim was to assess the association between Carotid artery intima-media thickness (cIMT) and risk factors of cardiovascular disease such as body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting blood sugar, lipid profile among the study participants and to measure the cIMT among obese and overweight children of age 5 to 18 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS: It was a cross-sectional study in which 150 obese and overweight children of age group between 5 to 18 years seen in the OPD, Specialty Clinics and IP in various departments of the VMKV Medical College and Hospital over a period of 1 year and 10 months. Statistical analysis utilized windows 16.0. RESULT: The current study shows that 48% females and 52% males, which includes participants from age 5 to 18 years. The average age of the participants in the current study was 12.15 yrs. Participants in the part of study had a mean CIMT value of 0.58 and SD of 0.098.  There was association between carotid intima media thickness and BMI, waist circumference, BP and biochemical parameters such as triglycerides, total cholesterol, serum LDL and serum HDL. CONCLUSION: The study implies that cardiovascular disease risk factors may exist from early age group and should be tested for in children. Hence, evaluating carotid arteries by doing carotid ultrasound is a very safe, practical, trustworthy procedure that can reveal information about common and internal cIMT. Early identification of high-risk individuals by screening for dyslipidaemia and other relevant risk factors can help in developing a proper preventative measure for cardiovascular disease.
