Assessing the impact of migration on the happiness of household women left behind: evidence from Punjab, Pakistan

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract The concept of happiness is becoming an increasingly significant area of focus in the evaluation of overall quality of life. This research examines the impact of migration on the well-being of women who remain in their place of residence following the migration of their family members. The study employs data from the Multiple Indicators Cluster Survey (2017–2018) in Punjab, Pakistan, and addresses sample selection bias through Propensity Score Matching (PSM). Moreover, as the dependent variable is ordinal, the study employed ordered logistic regression to examine the correlation between migration and happiness, taking into account migration status and other variables. The findings indicate that women from migrant backgrounds tend to benefit from migrating, primarily in terms of enhanced financial resources. In order to gain insight into the varying effects of migration on women’s happiness, the study employed heterogeneity analysis, which revealed that the influence of migration on women’s happiness differs across various areas. In conclusion, the combination of propensity score matching (PSM) with ordered logistic regression and heterogeneity analysis represents a robust methodology for evaluating the impact of migration on women’s perceptions of happiness. The study demonstrates that migration has the potential to improve the quality of life of women who remain in their home countries, particularly those residing in financially disadvantaged households.
Quran's Vision toward Arab's Social Culture in Age of Ignorance

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Quran is Muslims’ Holy Scripture and came in an environment in which humans were bewildered and in a bias and ignorance having a culture composed of correct and incorrect elements. This environment of ignorance covered various tribes and different cultures and traditions. Those people whom were governed by a certain tribal system had a firm social and belief foundations. To understand the vision of Quran toward Arab’s ignorance culture, the present work is performed in social category. Quran’s vision in this regard can be classified into three classes: reject, modulation and confirmation of that culture. Research method is documentary and library which studies Quran’s vision using interpretations. Eight indices of Arab’s ignorance culture and Quran’s vision toward them are “covenant” confirmed by Quran, “slavery and group nemesis” modulated by Quran, “women in age of ignorance”, “burying girls”, “Arab’s food”, “Azlam and Meisar” and “wine” rejected by Quran.

Personal reflections on the early development of the EPDS

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Shortly after returning to the London Hospital from Uganda in 1974, and still jet-lagged and culture-shocked, I had an unexpected call from a Dr Kumar at the Maudsley Hospital whose name was then unfamiliar to me. Stephen Wolkind (Child Psychiatrist at the London Hospital working with Professor Pond) had informed him that I had completed a study of postnatal depression in East Africa and had used Goldberg’s Standardised Psychiatric Interview (SPI) translated into Luganda. Could we meet, and could I advise him on the use of the SPI? I was surprised, flattered and motivated by this request. We met in Turner St, London E1. This was the beginning of a friendly and mutually respectful collaboration, which facilitated the later development of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) (Cox et al. 1987), helped launch the 1980 meeting in Manchester, when the Marcé Society was founded, and motivated Phase One of the International Transcultural Postnatal Depression Study. Channi Kumar was a fine team player, and as a leader had that knack of making you feel respected and at ease. His greeting ‘Come in dear boy and have a seat’ when he ushered you to a chair piled high with research papers, was characteristic of his style and productivity. We would then talk, not only about screening scales, but about College matters and the Perinatal Special Interest Group (which later became a Specialty Section), as well as our ‘Blue Skies’ research programmes. My interest in perinatal psychiatry began when, as an impressionable medical student, I first met Brice Pitt at Claybury Hospital. He was carrying out a study of ‘atypical’ postnatal depression and was devising a self-report questionnaire to detect increases in depression scores after birth. This early experience, together with a postgraduate seminar some years later, must surely have been on my mind when I was asked by Allen German on my arrival in Uganda, what research I was planning to do. I replied that I wished to replicate Assael’s finding (1972) that a quarter of pregnant women at Kasangati had mental health problems, and I was curious to know whether African women experienced depression as described by Pitt (1968)—and if not, what were the differences.
Attitudes toward cosmetic procedures: a comparative study

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Objective: This study aimed to compare attitudes toward cosmetic procedures in the participants and their relatives who were non-applicants for cosmetic procedures. Method: This cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out on 100 applicants and 100 non-applicants of cosmetic surgery. An attitude towards cosmetic surgery checklist was used. Descriptive tests, Mann-Whitney U, Chi-square and multivariate logistic regression model by goodness-of-fit were used. Results: The mean (SD) of the general attitude towards cosmetic surgery among applicants was 64.93 (14.84) and among non-applicants was 63.08 (11.66). Applicants’ attitude was non-significantly more positive towards cosmetic surgery compared to the non-applicants (P= 0.26). Employed people had less tendency for cosmetic surgery compared with the students (p<0.001). High-income people were more eager to undergo cosmetic surgeries in comparison with lower-income people (p<0.001). Discussion: some factors are significantly related to the attitude toward cosmetic surgery. Conclusion: The results of this study point out the need for education and psychological intervention affecting attitude toward cosmetic surgery.
Absence of second Stokes in a Raman generator with no four-wave mixing

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

A simple one-dimensional model is given for Stokes-beam amplification and expansion in a Raman generator (i.e., a stimulated Raman scattering cell with no seed inputs or feedback) for those cases in which four-wave mixing is suppressed by phase mismatching. Expansion of the first Stokes beam decreases the gain for growth of a second Stokes beam. This model accounts for the absence of second Stokes observed experimentally by Carlsten et al. [Opt. Lett. 9, 353 (1984)].
Efficient Replication of Genotype 3a and 4a Hepatitis C Virus Replicons in Human Hepatoma Cells

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT Despite recent advances in the treatment of hepatitis C, the quest for pan-genotype, effective, and well-tolerated inhibitors continues. To facilitate these efforts, it is desirable to have in vitro replication systems for all major HCV genotypes. However, cell culture replication systems exist for only genotypes 1a, 1b, and 2a. In this study, we generated G418-selectable subgenomic replicons for prototype strains of genotypes 3a (S52) and 4a (ED43). Production of G418-resistant colonies by S52 and ED43 in Huh-7.5 cells required the amino acid substitutions S2210I and R2882G, respectively, cell culture adaptive mutations originally reported for genotype 1b replicons. RNA replication was confirmed by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR and detection of viral protein. Sequencing of multiple independent replicon clones revealed the presence of additional nonsynonymous mutations. Interestingly, all potentially adaptive mutations mapped to the NS3 protein. These mutations, when introduced back into original constructs, substantially increased colony formation efficiency. To make these replicons useful for high-throughput screening and evaluation of antiviral compounds, they were modified to express a chimeric fusion protein of firefly luciferase and neomycin phosphotransferase to yield stable replicon-expressing cells. Using these constructs, the inhibitory effects of beta interferon (IFN-β), an NS3 protease inhibitor, and an NS5B nucleoside polymerase inhibitor were readily detected by monitoring luciferase activity. In conclusion, we have established functional replicons for HCV genotypes 3a and 4a, important new additions to the armamentarium required to develop inhibitors with a pan-genotype activity.
Development of a Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Based Nomogram for Clinically Insignificant Prostate Cancer

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Purpose Various predictive tools have been developed to predict insignificant prostate cancer (PCa) for active surveillance, however, these models cannot reflect all the refinements of current medicine. Thus, we aimed to develop a novel model to predict clinically insignificant PCa incorporating these factors. Materials and Methods We developed a novel nomogram to predict the probability of insignificant PCa (total tumor volume less than 2.5 cm3, index tumor volume less than 1.3 cm3, organ confined disease and no Gleason pattern 4 or 5) using preoperative data of 790 Korean patients who underwent radical prostatectomy. To evaluate the predictive accuracy, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was calculated. Next, the predicted probability versus the actual probability was compared. This examination was performed by calibration plotting using 1,000 bootstrap resamples. Results Of the 790 patients, 668 (84.6%) had clinically significant PCa, and 122 (15.4%) had insignificant PCa. We developed a novel predictive model for clinically insignificant PCa using clinical stage less than T2a, biopsy Gleason sum less than 7, ratio of positive biopsy cores less than 10%, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) visibility, which discriminated patients with clinically insignificant PCa from those with significant PCa with an AUC of 0.9135 (95% confidence interval, 0.9127â0.9143). The calibration plot showed a well-calibrated prediction that had little over- or underestimation. Conclusions We proposed a novel predictive model for insignificant PCa to more accurately select patients for active surveillance using the results from mpMRI and prebiopsy laboratory marker. Key Words: Clinically insignificant prostate cancer; Magnetic resonance imaging; Nomogram.
2595 Efficacy and safety of avalglucosidase Alfa in participants with late-onset pompe disease after 145 weeks’ treatment: phase 3 COMET trial

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objectives

Report efficacy/safety of avalglucosidase alfa (AVAL) in participants with late-onset Pompe disease in the extended-treatment period (ETP) of COMET (NCT02782741) at 145 weeks from treatment initiation.

Methods

Following a 49-week primary-analysis period (PAP), participants could enter the ETP. 100 participants (age 16–78 years) enrolled in the PAP.

Results

All 51 who received AVAL 20mg/kg every 2 weeks (qow) in the PAP (AVAL-arm) continued this in the ETP. Of 49 who received alglucosidase alfa (ALGLU) 20mg/kg qow in the PAP, 44 entered the ETP switching to AVAL 20mg/kg qow (Switch-arm). Improvement or stabilization trends from Baseline to Week 145 were observed for primary and secondary outcomes of respiratory and motor function. Changes (LS mean[SE]) in upright forced vital capacity%predicted: AVAL-arm, +1.40(1.21); Switch-arm, +1.18(1.32) and 6-minute walk test distance: AVAL-arm, +20.65(9.60)m; Switch-arm, +0.29(10.42)m. Similar trends occurred in other Week-145 outcomes. Treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) in the ETP occurred in 49(96.1%) AVAL-arm and 43(97.7%) Switch-arm participants. Five discontinued during the ETP for 6 treatment-emergent AEs; 4 treatment-related (ocular hyperemia, erythema [in same participant], urticaria, respiratory distress) and 2 non-treatment-related (acute myocardial infarction, pancreatic adenocarcinoma). In the ETP, 13(25.5%) AVAL-arm and 12(27.3%) Switch-arm participants had treatment-emergent serious AEs (SAEs); 3 and 2 of them, respectively, had treatment-related SAEs. Switch-arm participants showed no safety/immunogenicity-related concerns.

Conclusions

Week 145 results show sustained treatment effect and continued benefit with AVAL beyond the PAP, and stabilization of treatment effect after switching from ALGLU to AVAL, supporting long-term maintenance of clinically meaningful outcomes with AVAL. Funding: Sanofi.
The effects of long-term diabetes on the haematological and uterine indicators and their association with neonatal nephrogenesis counter-protected by camel milk: A time dependent study

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The novelty of this project is to describe how chronic diabetes altered the haematological and uterine indicators in a time dependent-manner that were reversed by camel milk (CM) therapy in pregnant and nonpregnant rat models. Fifty-four female rats were divided into three groups: Placebo (N), diabetic control (DC) and diabetic treated (DT) with CM at 40 ml/kg/24 h for 90 days. A single intact male was introduced into every group for mating at day 60 of the experiment. The sample collection was undertaken at day 30 and 60 of the nonpregnant rats and at day 90 immediately after parturition for the pregnant rats. At every collection, the dam’s blood, as well as the uteri and neonatal kidneys were collected and subjected to a paraffin tissue preparation technique for a histological evaluation. The data revealed that at day 30, the uterine endo- and myometrium remained unaffected by diabetes, but at day 60, a significant reduction in the uterine indicators from diabetes was observed. However, the CM restored the uterine histology in the DT. At 90 day, chronic diabetes showed (P < 0.05) a harmful effect on the pregnant uterus which was reversed (P < 0.05) by the CM. The RBC (red blood cell) indices, platelets, and leucocyte counts were severely affected by the diabetes and protected by the CM at every point of collection. The kidney tissues of the neonate rats, delivered by the dams, in the DC presented a significant (P < 0.05) shrinkage in the cortex and glomeruli while the CM potentially reversed these changes. These results will help to understand the chronic diabetes effects on the uterus and neonate’s renal genesis, and the role of camel milk in the management of chronic pre-gestational diabetes

Polydimethylsiloxane Surface Modification of Microfluidic Devices for Blood Plasma Separation

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Over the last decade, researchers have developed a variety of new analytical and clinical diagnostic devices. These devices are predominantly based on microfluidic technologies, where biological samples can be processed and manipulated for the collection and detection of important biomolecules. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is the most commonly used material in the fabrication of these microfluidic devices. However, it has a hydrophobic nature (contact angle with water of 110°), leading to poor wetting behavior and issues related to the mixing of fluids, difficulties in obtaining uniform coatings, and reduced efficiency in processes such as plasma separation and molecule detection (protein adsorption). This work aimed to consider the fabrication aspects of PDMS microfluidic devices for biological applications, such as surface modification methods. Therefore, we studied and characterized two methods for obtaining hydrophilic PDMS surfaces: surface modification by bulk mixture and the surface immersion method. To modify the PDMS surface properties, three different surfactants were used in both methods (Pluronic® F127, polyethylene glycol (PEG), and polyethylene oxide (PEO)) at different percentages. Water contact angle (WCA) measurements were performed to evaluate the surface wettability. Additionally, capillary flow studies were performed with microchannel molds, which were produced using stereolithography combined with PDMS double casting and replica molding procedures. A PDMS microfluidic device for blood plasma separation was also fabricated by soft lithography with PDMS modified by PEO surfactant at 2.5% (v/v), which proved to be the best method for making the PDMS hydrophilic, as the WCA was lower than 50° for several days without compromising the PDMS’s optical properties. Thus, this study indicates that PDMS surface modification shows great potential for enhancing blood plasma separation efficiency in microfluidic devices, as it facilitates fluid flow, reduces cell aggregations and the trapping of air bubbles, and achieves higher levels of sample purity.
The Emotional Competence Assessment Questionnaire (ECAQ) for Children Aged from 3 to 5 Years: Validity and Reliability Evidence

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

In order to assess emotional competence in children, it is necessary to have psychometrically sound measures. To the best of our knowledge, there is no available tool to assess emotional competence in children from 3 to 5 years old that assesses the five emotional competences of the Bisquerra model and can be easily and quickly answered in the school environment. The objective of this study is to develop a measure, the Emotional Competence Assessment Questionnaire (ECAQ), and to provide evidence of its psychometric quality. Qualitative evidence was obtained from a systematic review, from two expert committees and from five discussion groups. On the other hand, quantitative validity and reliability evidence was obtained from a sample of 1088 students and other smaller subsamples. The results suggest that the ECAQ is a short and easy-to-use tool, easily understood by administrators. The quantitative results confirm a general factor of emotional competence adjusted for three specific factors. This factor has excellent internal consistency and test-retest reliability. The ECAQ has therefore been shown to be a promising tool for assessing emotional competence in children between 3 and 5 years of age.
A multichannel information-processing system is simpler and more easily tested

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The dance metaphor for the communication between two organisms may be an appealing image because it appears to capture the intricate synchronization of their interaction; however, it is neither parsimonious nor easily tested. Instead, a multichannel information-processing model, even one that can process only serial events, provides all of the flexibility required to account for the complex temporal coordinated action observed.
KEEPER and Protege: An Elicitation Environment for Bayesian Inference Tools

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this presentation we will discuss the role of Protege in a system designed for eliciting and reasoning with probabilistic models. Information Extraction and Transport, Inc. (IET) is developing the Knowledge Elicitation Environment for Probabilistic Event and Entity Relation (KEEPER) system, a tool for eliciting, storing, updating and implementing probabilistic relational models. A key feature of this tool, and focus of this presentation, is the KEEPER’s ability to elicit probabilistic relational models (PRMs or RPMs) from different sources including subject matter experts. The KEEPER elicitation component implements a single ontology for purposes of constraining and guiding elicitation and for purposes of providing the semantic bedrock for the reintegration of diverse sources and learning from diverse sources. This ontology guides and constrains the probabilistic models created by users. The KEEPER system also implements a first-ordering reasoning tool to support querying and learning and to facilitate the implementation of the PRMs in actual data scenarios. The KEEPER ontology, or tactical modeling language (TML), is stored in Protege and acts as the domain language within which all KEEPER knowledge is represented. The TML can be extended by users, but all terms used in the KEEPER knowledge base must be defined within the TML. However, in this presentation we focus on our utilization of Protege as a tool for the elicitation of PRMs and the implementation of those models in IET’s suite of uncertainty reasoning tools, Quiddity*Suite. We will address three distinct issues: • Implementing Probabilistic relational models in the
