title:  Il ruolo del CMC (Computer Mediated Communication) nell’insegnamento della lingua araba: il MSA come lingua franca.
Creators: name: Solimando, Cristina
Publisher: name: RomaTrE-Press
Year: 2018

description: L’insegnamento dell’arabo attraversa ormai da diversi anni una fase di grandi cambiamenti dovuti non solo al progredire delle tecniche didattiche ma anche alla nascita di nuovi strumenti di comunicazione che inevitabilmente influenzano il modo con cui i parlanti utilizzano la lingua. In tale ambito, la nascita e lo sviluppo di Internet e dei Social Network rappresentano un bacino immenso a cui attingere per indagare le trasformazioni in atto, sia per quanto riguarda le scelte linguistiche inerenti alla scrittura online, sia per quanto riguarda il materiale didattico che il Web mette a disposizione. Gli studi condotti finora, mostrano che gli arabofoni prediligono scrivere in varietà standard anziché in dialetto, ma l’uso che ne fanno è ricco di interferenza con le varietà colloquiali. Il presente contributo intende indagare l’utilizzo del MSA come lingua franca nel Computer-Mediated Communication con l’obiettivo di proporne l’adozione in ambito didattico.

Coach, therapist, or spiritual director?: An analysis of discourse about spirituality as used in professional coaching
Creators: name: Courville, William J
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Religion, General.

description: Professional coaching, a hybrid intervention melding western therapeutic counseling and spiritual traditions, has recently emerged as a new phenomenon in executive development. The dissertation makes four broad points: first, that the field of professional coaching has developed little theory of its own and is in need of academic theorizing; second, that professional coaching plays a significant role in personal and professional development; third, that there is a definite spiritual dimension -- both explicit and implicit -- to professional coaching, and fourth, that psychology of religion is uniquely positioned to serve as an academic home for the conceptualization and theorization of the field. To make these points, the thesis demonstrates that professional coaching has antecedents, in both form and structure, in depth psychology, humanistic psychology, pastoral counseling, and spiritual direction. It traces the history and development of spiritual discourse in professional coaching, showing that the application of ancient wisdom and other spiritual traditions was eventually "psychologized" and appropriated by traditional psychology for application to business and professional development. It explores coaching methods, models, concepts, and theories to show how the language of spiritual discourse is intertwined with therapeutic language as an integral part of the vocabulary of professional coaching. It illuminates both the explicit and implicit spiritual discourse found in professional coaching and suggests that making what is often an implicit discourse explicit might re-frame how practitioners and clients see themselves and the work they are doing. It discusses the concept of "spiritual intelligence" and corresponding research that attempts to link spirituality and neuroscience and considers its implications for professional coaching, executive development, and psychology of religion. And finally, this thesis demonstrates that the study of the interrelationships among psychology, spirituality, and business has a long tradition in the field of psychology of religion and suggests that professional coaching can be seen as an extension of that research. It proposes that the field of psychology of religion can contribute to the development of established and emerging professional coaching approaches by providing a set of methodologies with which to further develop knowledge of the psychospiritual processes involved in purposeful change.

The regulation of adrenomedullin and neuroglobin in adult zebrafish during exposure to hypoxia
Creators: name: Yorston, Jennifer K
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Biology, Animal Physiology.

description: During exposure to hypoxia, many vertebrates undergo behavioural, biochemical, and physiological changes in an attempt to overcome the lack of oxygen and thus maintain a constant metabolic rate. Numerous genes are known to be influenced by hypoxia in mammalian systems. Many of the genes that have been identified are similar to those found in fish. Two such genes are adrenomedullin and neuroglobin. Adrenomedullin is a multifunctional peptide that has shown to be expressed in a number of tissues. Neuroglobin is a recently discovered member of the globin family that is predominantly found in neuronal tissues and has a high affinity for oxygen. While the effects of hypoxia on these two genes are relatively well known in mammalian systems, they have not yet been examined in fish. To characterize the expression of both neuroglobin and adrenomedullin in different tissues and measure expressional changes during hypoxic exposure, adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) were exposed to hypoxic conditions (pO2 ∼23 torr or 3.07 kPa) for up to 24 hours. A variety of techniques were used, including in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, and real time PCR. Adrenomedullin was found to be present in all tissues examined except blood, the highest of which was found in the kidney and eye. Expression of neuroglobin was highest in the brain and eye; however, low levels of expression were also found in the gill, stomach and kidney. No significant changes in expression of either gene were observed following hypoxic exposure. In the brain, eye and gill, in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry techniques were used to characterize expression of both genes at the protein and mRNA levels. Adrenomedullin mRNA staining was observed in the inner plexiform layer, outer nuclear layer and pigment epithelium of the eye, the chloride cells on the lamellae and in the interlamellar regions of the gill, and throughout all regions of the brain. Immunostaining revealed the presence of adrenomedullin protein in inner plexiform layer, outer plexiform layer and the pigment epithelium of the eye, apical membrane of lamellar epithelial cells of the gills and throughout all regions of the brain. Neuroglobin mRNA staining was observed in the ganglion cell layer as and the outer and inner nuclear layers of the eye, the chloride cells of the gill, and throughout all regions of the brain. Immunostaining revealed the presence of neuroglobin protein in the ganglion cell layer, pigment epithelium and photoreceptor cells as well as in the inner and outer plexiform layers of the eye, specific cells found throughout the gill filament, and in large neuronal cells as well as surrounding blood vessels of the brain.
A spherical subspace tracker with adaptive rank estimation for detection of phase-modulated signals
Creators: name: Watson, Susan
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: In this thesis, detection algorithms for cellular wireless communication are presented, which track the dominant eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the multipath fading channel. A decision variable may be formed from these eigenvectors and eigenvalues which uses the multipath diversity inherent in the channel, as well as advantageously combines orthogonal (uncorrelated) signal components. The determination of the rank of the signal-noise subspace is effected in the algorithms in two different ways; in the first, by calculation of an information criterion giving the probable dimension, and in the second, by choosing the dimension which includes a given percentage of the signal energy. Realistic simulations using measured channel impulse response data show a small performance gain of the eigenanalysis detection algorithm over simple differential detection.
Community mobilization around street sex work in Ottawa
Creators: name: Rohde, Kristina
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Sociology, Criminology and Penology.

description: Over the last three years the issue of street sex work has emerged as a contentious one in the Ottawa area. Many agencies in the community such as the police, social services and the municipal government each seek to deal with the matter. In considering this situation, I utilize Social Movement Theory to critically analyse a state-initiated social movement. This thesis presents the findings of a case study of the community group "Together for Vanier" in the east area of Ottawa. Drawing on documents produced by or about the group, observations at community meetings and interviews with key community players, the author argues that absent in Social Movement Theory is a consideration of silenced voices, rendering movements to appear more cohesive than they actually are. This paper suggests that "Together for Vanier" is not an authentic social movement, but rather a state generated one. The thesis concludes by utilizing ideas from Governmentality and Foucault to argue that "Together for Vanier" represents a form of governing at a distance and is thus a site of contestation. Key words: community mobilization, social movement, street sex work

description: We study the topological properties of a twisted superconducting bilayer with spin-singlet pairings and Rashba spin-orbital coupling. By introducing the chirality basis, we obtain the effective odd-parity superconductors with the help of spin-orbital coupling. For the twisted bilayer with $d$-wave pairings, two non-Abelian topological phases with Chern number $C=-1$ and $C=-5$ are identified, and the analytical expressions for the boundary of non-Abelian phase are derived as well within the circular Fermi surface approximation. We perform numerical calculations at the twisted angle of Moiré lattice, which further verify the topological phase diagram from the effective odd-parity Hamiltonian. For the bilayer with $d$-wave and $s_{\pm}$-wave pairings, we reveal the second-order topological superconductor with Majorana zero mode on each corner, by analyzing the relative configuration of the pairing nodes of superconductors and the Fermi surface of normal state. It is found that the regions of second-order topological phase are narrowed when the bilayer is twisted.

description: Трудные дыхательные пути в акушерской анестезиологи до сих остаются камнем преткновения в учреждениях родовспоможения. Редкость проведения общей анестезии вместе с отсутствием возможности практических тренировок с использованием видеоларингоскопа или ларингиальных масок усложняет работу анестезиолога в учреждении родовспоможения. Преоксигенация является важным этапом подготовки к интубации, который может увеличить время до десатурации, там самым снизив риск развития гипоксии у роженицы.
Stratégie et consensus : les articulations stratégiques et consensuelles de la règle constitutive de langage comme structure processuelle de communication.

description: Notre these vise a decouvrir au fil d'une analyse de certaines theories philosophiques du langage et de la communication, une structure relationnelle persistante de communication. L'elaboration de ce fondement relationnel pose les exigences qui caracterisent la regle constitutive de langage. C'est-a-dire que nous tenterons de mettre en evidence la logique interne normative articulant par son actualisation meme un scheme relationnel qui s'inscrit d'ores et deja dans l'effectif du contexte interlocutif. Pour ce faire, nous presenterons, analyserons, et comparerons trois paradigmes de communication apprehendes de prime abord sous le mode de l'analogie: celle de la joute combative, du tribunal et de la dramaturge. Plus theoriquement, des philosophes de la communication nous permettent de developper notre these a partir de ces trois analogies en nous faisant decouvrir des structures de relations d'abord distinctives mais qui, selon nous, sont constitutives dans leur complementarite de la relation interlocutive. En fait, il s'agit pour nous de se reapproprier les diverses instances relationnelles presentees afin de les integrer a un scheme relationnel structural qui presente les caracteristiques de la logique interne d'un certain "rapport de force" tout en impliquant les exigences de "l'intercomprehension et de la consensualite" vecues par l'action effective d'une "reciprocite cooperative". Les auteurs qui nous permettent de mettre en place cette constitutivite de la relation interlocutive toujours effectuee dans le cadre processuel de la communication sont Jean-Francois Lyotard, Jurgen Habermas et Francis Jacques. Ces derniers nous proposent des schemes structurels de relations qui de prime abord semblent a opposer. Ainsi, la strategie de jeux de langage agonistique de Lyotard configure une structure de la relation qui semble une critique directe de la these d'Habermas dont l'axe central est la validite de la communication legitime par une consensualite universilante predeterminant l'action langagiere. Quant a Jacques, il radicalise davantage l'aspect relationnel comme fondement et le postulat de l'interaction langagiere. Pour cela, il reexamine a son point de depart la problematique qui posait une distinction entre la conception strictement strategique et la conception strictement consensuelle de la communication. Il integre plutot ces articulations relationnelles a la structure processuelle de la communication en reformulant une conception de la cooperation qui s'actualise dans l'effectif meme de la relation interlocutive.

description: В одном из учреждений родовспоможения произошел клинический случай развития гипертермии во время родов при эпидуральной анальгезии. Здоровая беременная без инфекционного анамнеза и акушерской патологии самопроизвольно вступила в роды. При открытии шейки матки 4 см ей был установлен эпидуральный катетер для обезболивания родов. Через 30 минут после начала анальгезии у роженицы отмечено повышение температуры до 40оС. С целью лечения была проведена инфузия парацетамола 1000 мг внутривенно капельно, после чего в течение 60 минут температура снизилась до 37,5 оС. Было принято решение закончить роды оперативно путем операции кесарева сечения. Был извлечен мертвый плод. Учитывая, что такая ситуация хоть и редко, но может возникнуть во время родов при эпидуральной анальгезии, врачам анестезиологам-реаниматологам следует знать о ее возможных причинах и неонатальных последствиях.

description: Breast cancer remains one of the leading malignancies in women of the developed world despite the extra efforts that have been deployed in the past decade or so to the study of this disease. It is well known that the degree of aggressivity of the tumor is related to the stage of differentiation. Transformation of a cell having a high proliferation potential will lead to a more aggressive tumor than transformation of a more differentiated cell. For this reason it is important to have a good understanding of the process of mammary differentiation. The work in this thesis was directed at finding novel genes that are involved in the normal development of the breast with the hope that these may open new avenues for breast cancer therapies. The approach used was to look for genes that are expressed during breast development in the living mouse. A promoter-trap retrovirus containing on oncogene as the promoterless indicator gene was introduced locally in the mammary glands of pubescent female mice. Integration of proviruses near an active cellular promoter lead to the expression of the oncogene from a cellular promoter which was detected by the formation of a tumor. To identify genes that are specifically active during differentiation of the breast tissue we looked for the appearance of tumors after the animals were mated. Two promoter-trap retroviruses were tested. The first one (COPT) was replication deficient and although it did work in vitro it did not give a high enough level of infection to be used in vivo. The second virus (PyT) was replication competent and was found to be a more suitable promoter-trap to be used in vivo. This was demonstrated by the isolation of a novel murine gene named TRAP1.

description: Western Australia goes to the polls in a little over two months, and public opinion polls indicate that a big swing to the opposition Labor Party is on the way. It may, or may not, be big enough to install leader Mark McGowan as premier. The last election, way back in March 2013, saw Labor’s worst result in decades. From that statewide two-party-preferred vote of just 42.7 per cent, the only way is up. Surveys consistently have Labor ahead, most recently on around 52 to the government’s 48. Plotting that swing on the electoral pendulum (assuming it’s a uniform swing, or more precisely a net uniform swing) produces a touch-and-go result.

description: We rigorously yet concisely prove the bulk-edge correspondence for general $d$-dimensional ($d$D) topological insulators in complex Altland-Zirnbauer classes, which states that the bulk topological number equals to the edge-mode index. Specifically, an essential formula is discovered that links the quantity expressed by Toeplitz algebra, i.e., hopping terms on the lattice with an edge, to the Fourier series on the bulk Brillouin zone. We then apply it to chiral models and utilize exterior differential calculations, instead of the sophisticated \emph{K}-theory, to show that the winding number of bulk system equals to the Fredholm index of 1D edge Hamiltonian, or to the sum of edge winding numbers for higher odd dimensions. Moreover, this result is inherited to the even-dimensional Chern insulators as each of them can be mapped to an odd-dimensional chiral model. It is revealed that the Chern number of bulk system is identical to the spectral flow of 2D edge Hamiltonian, or to the negative sum of edge Chern numbers for higher even dimensions. Our methods and conclusions are friendly to physicists and could be easily extended to other physical scenarios.

description: In this paper, we conducted a detailed analysis of optical turbulence in the Atmospheric Surface Layer (ASL) at Muztagh-ata site during on-site testing. We utilized ultrasonic anemometers positioned on a 30-meter tower to collect and process data at five height levels, obtaining data from October 1, 2021 to the present. We investigated the behavior of optical turbulence parameters (\(C_n^2\) and seeing \(\varepsilon\)) in the ASL. Nighttime \(C_n^2\) primarily fluctuated in the range of \(10^{-16}\) to \(10^{-14}\), exhibiting an exponential decrease with height. During the day, it showed a \(h^{-0.82}\) dependency, while at night, it displayed a \(h^{-0.48}\) dependency. Additionally, we presented the distribution of seeing across different layers within the ASL, showing a gradual decrease with increasing height, with a median seeing of 0.24 arcseconds at nighttime and 0.48 arcseconds at daytime between 6-30m. We investigated the relationship between surface temperature inversion, seeing in the ASL, and wind speed at the site. Our results show that under temperature inversion conditions, seeing significantly improves and is often accompanied by low to moderate wind speeds, while high wind speeds are usually associated with poorer seeing. Preliminary calculations and observational results, combined with the high altitude and unique geographical location, suggest that Muztagh-ata site has the potential to be an outstanding optical astronomical observatory in the western plateau of china.

1989: From the Global Moment to its Regional and National Memories
Creators: name: Middell, Matthias
Publisher: name: Leipziger Universitätsverlag
Year: 2020

description: The expectation expressed in 2009 that the many particular histories of 1989 would come together to form a great, coherent global history and that this would further deepen the interpretation established by the contemporaries witnessing a special moment in world history has not been fulfilled. Rather, different memories of 1989 are cultivated in different regions of the world, and most recent historiography is more concerned with the question of how the upheaval of 1989 in Eastern Europe is linked to the rise of populism. The article that introduces this thematic issue tries to offer some explanations for this development that can be seen as both an indicator and part of a departure from a certain ideology of globalization that has confused increasing connectivity worldwide with a neoliberal globalization project. Even if one limits oneself to the African continent, as most of the contributions in this issue do, it is already more than clear that this does not mean a withdrawal from global contexts and their memory, quite the contrary. In this respect, the reconstruction of some important moments of the African contribution to the global moment in 1989 is perhaps more illuminating for understanding this caesura than would be a further appropriation of the diversity of that year for a homogeneous narrative.

Cytoprotective effects of intracellular platelet activating factor acetylhydrolases

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Biology, Molecular.

description: Platelet activating factor (PAF) is a biologically active phospholipid implicated in the developmental brain disorder Miller-Dieker Syndrome (MDS) and purported to be a primary mediator of cell death in HIV-dementia, ischemia, and epilepsy. As part of my honour's thesis, I demonstrated that PAF can elicit cell death independently of its G-protein coupled receptor (PAFR) in PC12 cells. In my M.Sc. research, I have sought to identify how PAF-mediated cell death is regulated in PC12 cells. PAF is inactivated in brain by two intracellular PAF-acetylhydrolases (PAF-AHs): PAF-AH I and PAF-AH II. PAF-AH I is a trimeric complex composed of two catalytic subunits (alpha1 and alpha2) and one regulatory subunit (beta). Mutations in the Lis1 gene, coding for the beta subunit of PAF-AH I, are the genetic determinant of MDS. However, it is not clear whether these mutations impact on PAF-AH I enzymatic activity in MDS. Furthermore, it is not known whether cytosolic PAF-AH activity regulates the kinetics of neuronal loss following pathophysiological challenge. To begin to address these questions, I sought to identify an in vitro model system suitable for study of PAF-AH activity.* (Abstract shortened by UMI.) *This dissertation is a compound document (contains both a paper copy and a CD as part of the dissertation).

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Mechanical.

description: The reliability and income analyses of newly developed $k-out-of-(n + m):G$ (or $n, m, k$) type redundant systems subject to a combination of common-cause failures and independent failures are presented. The global goal was to evaluate the impacts of the standby activation policy and the system repair times on such relevant system performance indices as the reliability, long-run availability, mean time to failure, variance of time to failure and net income. To facilitate this investigation several possible repair policies are developed. Results obtained using typical and practical values of basic system variables indicate that the governing standby activation policy as well as the system repair time distribution affect profoundly the values of the afore-mentioned system performance indices. In addition, newly developed mathematical relationships that would enable the net incomes of $k-out-of-(n + m):G$ type systems to be maximized by the adoption of certain system repair rates are presented.

It argues that the events in Eastern Europe in 1989 should be juxtaposed against the fundamental changes in South Africa after a decades-long liberation struggle against the oppressive Apartheid regime. It shows how September 1989 proved to be as significant in South Africa as it was in Leipzig.F.W. de Klerk’s election as State President put South Africa on a path of unprecedented reform, including a decision to tear down Apartheid’s proverbial ‘nuclear wall’. The paper argues that while the decision of the De Klerk government to terminate and dismantle the indigenously developed nuclear weapons arsenal was triggered by a confluence of domestic and regional factors, the events in Eastern Europe also had an influence, not least being the impending fall of the Soviet Union, the Apartheid’s regime decades-long enemy. The decision to denuclearize furthermore had important repercussions beyond the region. This is exemplified by the phoenix-like rise of Pretoria’s leaders on the global non-proliferation scene, following the end of its programme and NPT accession.

Celebrating the Easter Vigil: What sort of theology of creation is shaped by our worship? A critical ecofeminist reading
Creators: name: Diston, Carmen
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Religion, History of.

description: This thesis explores celebration of the Easter Vigil as it shapes a theology of creation and asks whether it is liberating, life giving, for women and the earth. The exploration is firmly rooted in the centuries old adage lex orandi, lex credendi, lex vivendi. There is a dynamic relationship between praying, believing and living; to worship is to do theology and shape living. The Easter Vigil with its unique elements of Light, Word, Baptism and Eucharist is a privileged place for this exploration and offers breadth to the exploration through its temporal and cosmic dimensions, proclamation of the Word and celebration of initiation. There are two points of departure for this work: liturgical theology and ecofeminism. Aidan Kavanagh's approach to liturgical theology---in particular his attention to experience, his conviction that the church's prayer founds believing, his identification of two movements of theology ( theologia prima and theologia secundo)---supports this study.

Grid turbulence in compressible flow.
Creators: name: Zwart, Philip J.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Mechanical.

description: The flow downstream of a grid in a wind tunnel is of considerable interest for two reasons. Theoretically, it represents a good approximation to the idealized concept of homogeneous and isotropic turbulence, and therefore provides a benchmark to evaluate various analytical theories of turbulence. On the practical side, grids and screens are used extensively in the management of turbulence in a variety of applications. Experimental studies of grid turbulence are numerous in incompressible flow but far scarcer in compressible flow. The present study considers the characteristics of grid turbulence over a range of Mach numbers, M, ranging from the essentially incompressible (M = 0.16), through the moderate subsonic ($0.16 M 0.7)$ and high subsonic $(0.7 M 1.0),$ to the supersonic (M = 1.55). The experiments comprise flow visualization, performed with the shadowgraph method, and mean and fluctuating velocity measurements, made with a laser-Doppler velocimeter. Characteristics of the flow near the grid were visualized in a demonstration nozzle using the schlieren technique. In the moderate subsonic regime, flow visualization indicated that the flow near the grid underwent major changes as M increased. The turbulence intensity and decay characteristics were also found to be influenced, which was attributed to the changes in the flow near the grid. In the high subsonic regime, an unsteady quasi-normal shock was present in the test section. This induced relatively large velocity fluctuations and anisotropic turbulence. In the supersonic regime, stationary oblique shocks generated by the grid were present throughout the test section, which interfered with the turbulence and introduced errors in the measurement technique.
KIC 10855535: An elegant Delta Scuti pulsator with Amplitude and Phase Modulation

description: We investigated the pulsating behavior of KIC 10855535 using Kepler 4-year long cadence data. Two independent frequencies were detected: a pulsation frequency F0 = 17.733260(5)d-1 and a low frequency f8=0.412643(8)d-1 We identify F0 as the fundamental frequency, at which a equidistant quintuplet is centered, suggesting that the star orbits in a binary system. The fitted orbital parameters align well with those reported in previous literature. Long-term phase modulation caused by binarity has been confirmed by considering TESS light curve. Through adjusting light time via removing the light time effect, we measured a linear change in period of order $\dot{P}/P \simeq 1.44\times 10^{-7}yr^{-1}$, a value that could be indicative of stellar evolution. The star also exhibits a gradual and stable amplitude growth, thereby raising the possibility of structural changes during its evolution. We attributed f8 and its two harmonics to rotation and surface spots, with further analysis suggesting evolving characteristics over time. Based on the hypothesis, KIC 10855535 may rotate slowly for its type, with a speed of 37(2)km/s. Overall, KIC 10855535 presents an exceptionally clean spectrum and a relatively slow rotation as a δ Sct pulsator, exhibiting a single pulsation mode that undergoes both amplitude and phase modulation.

Post-1989 Cold War Diplomatic Shifts in Southern Africa
Creators: name: Scarnecchia, Timothy
Publisher: name: Leipziger Universitätsverlag
Year: 2019

description: This article evaluates new materials from British and US-American archives that have now become accessible and concern diplomatic negotiations on the end of the conflicts in Namibia, Angola and Mozambique as well as the end of apartheid in South Africa. Older interpretations that view the withdrawal of the Soviet Union as a betrayal of the old allies within the communist and liberation movements in southern Africa are supplemented by a more nuanced view that locates the beginning of this change in 1988 and in the negotiations over the withdrawal of Cuban troops from Angola and Namibian independence. The aim of Soviet foreign policy was no longer to give unconditional support to its allies, but rather to calm and stabilise the political situation in order to help the new world order that was seeking to break through. As a result, a democratic government for South Africa, supported by a majority vote of the electorate, also moved into the focus of Soviet policy, which in turn reduced fears on the US side of a socialist one-party system. From the consulted British and US sources it can also be seen that in a complicated process of rapprochement, the Soviet negotiators developed sympathies for capitalist development in South Africa and also saw opportunities emerging for their own country.

Study of the relationship of low birthweight with race and socioeconomic status at the Maternity Hospital, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: A case-control study.

description: Low birthweight of newborns is a major determinant of perinatal survival as well as postnatal morbidity. It represents major public health problem and is of great economic concern in developing countries. This study investigated the impact of four groups of risk factors: genetic and constitutional factors, namely infant sex, ethnic origin, maternal height and maternal pre-pregnancy weight; demographic/psychosocial and nutritional factors related to the mother, namely maternal age prior to pregnancy, maternal education, occupation, total family income, total gestational weight gain, use of iron and/ or vitamin supplements and haemoglobin level; obstetric factors such as parity, interpregnancy interval, gestational age of previous birth, prior spontaneous abortion, prior stillbirth, prior child death and period of gestation at delivery; and antenatal care (i.e number of antenatal care visits). To identify and quantify risk factors for low birthweight I conducted a hospital-based case-control study at the Kuala Lumpur Maternity Hospital, Malaysia. The case-control study of 295 low birthweights and 590 controls showed that Indian ethnic origin, previous premature birth, low maternal pre-pregnancy weight (46-50 kg), brief use of iron and/or vitamin supplements (2-4 weeks) and prematurity were significant independent risk factors for low birthweight. The results of this study showed that low maternal pre-pregnancy weight, premature birth, poor quality of antenatal care are important and potentially modifiable risk factors. Hence the results suggest that nutritional and health intervention programmes (i.e improvement in nutritional status and antenatal care) can reduce the incidence of low birthweight.
