Pemahaman dan Sikap Guru Wanita Tentang Informasi Balita Sehat dan Pola Pengasuhan Anak di Kota Kupang

This research aims to know the difference levels of knowledge and attitude of female teachers toward the examination of the information content of under- five's health and the children taking care pattern through interpersonal communication and mass media. This research was conducted by using pre-experimental design. In this experiment, the multistage sampling was used to determine the number of respondents. So there was 28 respondents. So there was 28 respondents which conducted to be tested. The pretest and posttest was used was used to know how far the levels of knowledge and attitude of the female teachers in achieving the information of the under-five's health and the children taking care pattern in Kupang Municipal. The research result shows that the levels and attitude of female teachers positively changed after conveying the information of the under-five's health and children taking care pattern through interpersonal communication and mass media. Besides that, there was the difference level of score of knowledge and attitude of female teachers in the information content which consists of giving nutrient to the children (PMA) and the actual pattern of taking care (PPA) of them

Imperador até morrer: antropologia dos ciclos temporais de uma escola de samba em Porto Alegre-RS

Este artigo tem por objetivo discutir as representações de tempo observadas entre um grupo de pessoas que trazem em comum sua ligação com o carnaval de Porto Alegre/RS. A antropologia há muito está preocupada com a questão das diferentes noções de tempo existentes entre as culturas. Da Matta (1983) aponta para, pelo menos, duas concepções clássicas; a uma representação do tempo linear, histórico - presente na ideologia ocidental dominante -, contrapõe-se uma outra forma de reconhecer, representar e viver a experiência temporal, percebendo-a dentro de uma cronologia cíclica. Imperadores do Samba1. Percebe-se que inúmeros participantes, ao vivenciarem o carnaval, colocam-se frente a uma experiência cíclica do tempo, singularizando sua percepção da temporalidade vivida, marcando-a por uma ordenação cronológica que não se orienta fundamentalmente por datas fixadas pelo calendário cristão. Para além de uma experiência individual, os carnavalescos orientam-se, temporalmente, por referenciais coletivos outros, próprios da sua cultura

Inter- and intrafractional 4D dose accumulation for evaluating ΔNTCP robustness in lung cancer.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Model-based selection of proton therapy patients relies on a predefined reduction in normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) with respect to photon therapy. The decision is necessarily made based on the treatment plan, but NTCP can be affected when the delivered treatment deviates from the plan due to delivery inaccuracies. Especially for proton therapy of lung cancer, this can be important because of tissue density changes and, with pencil beam scanning, the interplay effect between the proton beam and breathing motion. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this work, we verified whether the expected benefit of proton therapy is retained despite delivery inaccuracies by reconstructing the delivered treatment using log-file based dose reconstruction and inter- and intrafractional accumulation. Additionally, the importance of two uncertain parameters for treatment reconstruction, namely deformable image registration (DIR) algorithm and α/β ratio, was assessed. RESULTS The expected benefit or proton therapy was confirmed in 97% of all studied cases, despite regular differences up to 2 percent point (p.p.) NTCP between the delivered and planned treatments. The choice of DIR algorithm affected NTCP up to 1.6 p.p., an order of magnitude higher than the effect of α/β ratio. CONCLUSION For the patient population and treatment technique employed, the predicted clinical benefit for patients selected for proton therapy was confirmed for 97.0 % percent of all cases, although the NTCP based proton selection was subject to 2 p.p. variations due to delivery inaccuracies

Platform for automatic patient quality assurance via Monte Carlo simulations in proton therapy

For radiation therapy, it is crucial to ensure that the delivered dose matches the planned dose. Errors in the dose calculations done in the treatment planning system (TPS), treatment delivery errors, other software bugs or data corruption during transfer might lead to significant differences between predicted and delivered doses. As such, patient specific quality assurance (QA) of dose distributions, through experimental validation of individual fields, is necessary. These measurement based approaches, however, are performed with 2D detectors, with limited resolution and in a water phantom. Moreover, they are work intensive and often impose a bottleneck to treatment efficiency. In this work, we investigated the potential to replace measurement-based approach with a simulation-based patient specific QA using a Monte Carlo (MC) code as independent dose calculation engine in combination with treatment log files. Our developed QA platform is composed of a web interface, servers and computation scripts, and is capable to autonomously launch simulations, identify and report dosimetric inconsistencies. To validate the beam model of independent MC engine, in-water simulations of mono-energetic layers and 30 SOBP-type dose distributions were performed. Average Gamma passing ratio 99 ± 0.5% for criteria 2%/2 mm was observed. To demonstrate feasibility of the proposed approach, 10 clinical cases such as head and neck, intracranial indications and craniospinal axis, were retrospectively evaluated via the QA platform. The results obtained via QA platform were compared to QA results obtained by measurement-based approach. This comparison demonstrated consistency between the methods, while the proposed approach significantly reduced in-room time required for QA procedures
