A study on the symptoms, sleep quality and cognitive function of the women during menopause

Background: Menopause is the time that marks the end of your menstrual cycle. It is a natural biological process. But the physical symptoms, such as hot flashes, and emotional symptoms of menopause may disrupt your sleep, lower your energy or affect emotional health. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the pattern of symptoms among women during menopause. The secondary objective was to assess the sleep quality and cognitive function of the women during menopause and to create awareness and educate rural women regarding menopause. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was carried out in and around B. G. Nagar, Nagamangala, Mandya for 6 months. Results: A total of 504 women were enrolled in the study. Out of 504, 224 (44.4%) participants come under perimenopause, 117 (23.31%) participants come under perimenopause and 163 (33.34%) participants comes under post menopause. After filling out the questionnaire it was observed that there was a decline in cognitive function of postmenopausal women along with poor sleep quality. When the age group of the participants was compared with the different symptoms of menopause a significant relation was found between the age category of the participants and the somatic symptoms. A significant relation was found between the sexual activity and with the somatic symptoms (p=0.00**), psychological symptoms (p=0.00**) and urogenital symptoms (p=0.00**) of the participants. Conclusions: As women passes from premenopausal to perimenopause to post menopause menopausal symptoms were increased. The menopausal transition and postmenopausal years are associated with significant symptoms

Tuning the GENIE Pion Production Model with MINERvA Data

Faced with unresolved tensions between neutrino interaction measurements at few-GeV neutrino energies, current experiments are forced to accept large systematic uncertainties to cover discrepancies between their data and model predictions. In this paper, the widely used pion production model in GENIE is compared to four MINERvA charged current pion production measurements using NUISANCE. Tunings, ie, adjustments of model parameters, to help match GENIE to MINERvA and older bubble chamber data are presented here. We find that scattering off nuclear targets as measured in MINERvA is not in good agreement with scattering off nucleon (hydrogen or deuterium) targets in the bubble chamber data. An additional ad hoc correction for the low-$Q^2$ region, where collective effects are expected to be large, is also presented. While these tunings and corrections improve the agreement of GENIE with the data, the modeling is imperfect. The development of these tunings within the NUISANCE frameworkallows for straightforward extensions to other neutrino event generators and models, and allows omitting and including new data sets as they become available

Perbedaan Efektivitas Metode Demonstrasi dan Pemutaran Video Animasi dalam Meningkatkan Pengetahuan Cuci Tangan Pakai Sabun Siswa SDN 043/XI Koto Renah

Hand washing is one of the most important interventions which is effective in preventing the infection of various microbial diseases. Based on Riskesdas data (2018) the level of knowledge of CTPS in Indonesian society is still low, only 17% of school-age children are performing the correct CTPS. One of the ways to increase knowledge of CTPS is through health promotion. The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in the effectiveness of the demonstration method and animated video playback in increasing knowledge about CTPS among grade IV students of SDN 043/XI Koto Renah. This type of research uses a quasi-experimental approach with a two-group pre-post test design approach. The research population was all IV grade students of SDN 043/XI Koto Renah. The sampling technique used is total sampling. The study was conducted from June 3 to 4 June, 2021. Data were analyzed univariately in the form of frequency distribution and bivariate using dependent t-test statistical test and independent t-test. The results showed that there was no significant difference between the demonstration method and the animation video playback method. The statistical test results obtained a p-value of 0.229 > 0.005, meaning that the demonstration method and animated video playback were equally effective in increasing students' knowledge of CTPS

Modification of the Optimal Auxiliary Function Method for Solving Fractional Order KdV Equations

In this study, a new modification of the newly developed semi-analytical method, optimal auxiliary function method (OAFM) is used for fractional-order KdVs equations. This method is called the fractional optimal auxiliary function method (FOAFM). The time fractional derivatives are treated with Caputo sense. A rapidly convergent series solution is obtained from the FOAFM and is validated by comparing with other results. The analysis proves that our method is simplified and applicable, contains less computational work, and has fast convergence. The beauty of this method is that there is no need to assume a small parameter such as in the perturbation method. The effectiveness and accuracy of the method is proven by numerical and graphical results

Three-Dimensional Rotating Flow of MHD Jeffrey Fluid Flow between Two Parallel Plates with Impact of Hall Current

This article deals with three-dimensional non-Newtonian Jeffrey fluid in rotating frame in the presence of magnetic field. The flow is studied in the application of Hall current, where the flow is assumed in steady states. The upper plate is considered fixed, and the lower is kept stretched. The fundamental equations are transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). A homotopy technique is practiced for a solution. The variation in the skin friction and its effects on the velocity fields have been examined numerically. The effects of physical parameters are discussed in various plots

Cytomorphometric analysis: A possible adjunct for age estimation

Background: Age estimation plays a crucial role in identifying an unknown individual in the event of any mass disaster or crime. One of the important noninvasive procedures that may have an impact on determining an individual's age is exfoliative cytology. Aim and Objective: Exfoliated buccal mucosa cells were used in the study to determine the participant's age by assessing the changes in nuclear diameter (ND), nuclear–cytoplasmic (N: C) ratio, and cell diameter (CD). Materials and Methods: With the help of a moistened wooden spatula and a light scraping motion, buccal smears were taken from 100 healthy and normal individuals across various age groups. The samples were then preserved with 95% ethanol and stained using ultrafast Papanicolaou stain. Cell and nuclear diameter were measured for each of these cells using the ImageJ software, and N: C was calculated from the two parameters. The N: C was calculated from CD and ND for each subject. One-way ANOVA tests were used for statistical analysis. Results: A significant difference in the diameter of cell and nucleus with the individual's age (P < 0.05) was noticed. The N: C ratio reduces with increasing age but is not consistent. Conclusion: Buccal smears show age-related alterations that could be utilized as an effective tool for age estimation
