Association between Socialization and The Use of Maternity Waiting Home in East Aceh

Background: Maternity waiting homes are residential facilities where women who live remotely can wait before giving birth at a hospital or health centre. The aim of implementing a maternity waiting home strategy is to reduce maternal and perinatal mortality by improving access to skilled birth attendance and emergency obstetric care, particularly for women in rural and remote areas. This study aimed to examine the association between socialization and the use of maternity waiting home in East Aceh. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study carried out in four kesmas (community health center), in East Aceh. A sample of 130 pregnant mothers was selected for this study by stratified random sampling. The dependent variable was the use of maternity waiting home. The independent variable was socialization and family support. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multiple logistic regression. Results: Socialization was associated with an increased use of maternal waiting home (OR= 14.17; p= 0.002), after controlling from the effect of family support. Conclusion: Socialization is associated with an increased use of maternal waiting home, after controlling for the effect of family support. Keywords: maternity waiting home, socialization, family support

The Influence of the Use of the Approach of Blended Learning Model Rotation Based Moodle on Motivation and Cognitive Abilities of Students in the Subjects of Physics

Natural convection in a representative section of an ONAN distribution transformer

We present a 3D numerical modeling of an ONAN distribution transformer. We found that the 3D problem of natural convection in this thermohidraulic device can be studied by a numerical model that represents a 3D slice of an ONAN distribution transformer. The numerical study was carried out by applying the Finite Element Method to solve the 3D Navier-Stokes and heat equations using the in-house developed Par-GPFEP code. We compared the present results with those of other authors who used a similar approach with some differences in the solution method and in the simplifications considered. Also we compared the numerical temperature distribution with thermographies presented in a heating test performed in an ONAN transformer provided by Tubos Trans Electric S.A. The numerical results are also compared with velocity fields measurements taken in an experimental device that was built to simulate a representative slice of the transformer of interest. A PIV setup was used to obtain the flow velocity field. We found reasonable agreement between numerical and the preliminary experimental results, showing stratified temperature distributions and similar flow patterns in the studied region.Publicado en: Mecánica Computacional vol.

Bilateral HIV related ocular surface squamous neoplasia: a paradigm shift

A CAJM research article on HIV related ocular surface squamous neoplasia at an eye unit hospital in Zimbabwe.Four patients with bilateral ocular surface squamous neoplasia attended to at Sekuru Kaguvi Hospital Eye Unit are being presented to alert practitioners that OSSN is potentially a bilateral disease and its prevalence is likely to increase as the life expectancy of HIV infected patients is being positively affected by antiretroviral therapy. Reports on ocular diseases should be clear on laterality to avoid confusion between number of patients affected and number of eyes involved since the two cannot be used interchangeably

Cohabitation of settlements among crested porcupine (Hystrix cristata), red fox (Vulpes vulpes) and European badger (Meles meles)

In Italy, porcupines, badgers and red foxes share the same settlements. However, there is lack of informa-tion concerning their cohabitation. From 2012 to 2019, cohabitation by these three mammals was studied using camera-trapping and was found to occur only between porcupines and badgers, even in the presence of porcupettes. Cohabitation was associated with aggressive interaction between porcupines and badg-ers. Foxes were found to be scavengers of porcupine carcasses. Cohabitation among these semi-fossorial mammals and scavenging behaviour could play a role in disease transmission, including zoonotic diseases

Métodos implícitos en acoplamiento neutrónico-termohidráulico

La distribución espacial de la potencia generada en el núcleo de un reactor nuclear dependede parámetros físicos como la temperatura del combustible, la temperatura del refrigerante o la fracciónde vacío. Esta distribución, a su vez, es la fuente de calor requerida en el cálculo de transferencia decalor que permite obtener las temperaturas y densidades de los materiales. El cálculo neutrónico por tanto está acoplado a cálculos termohidráulicos. Los códigos de cálculo en general están validados para resolver solo una de estas partes y por tanto se requiere un acoplamiento entre ellos. Comúnmente este acoplamiento se resuelve mediante iteraciones de tipo Picard dentro de cada paso de tiempo. En general esta metodología toma demasiadas iteraciones. En base a resultados que hemos obtenido en trabajos previos analizando acoplamientos en sistemas fluidodinámicos compuestos, proponemos una técnica deacoplamiento implítica aplicada al problema neutrónico-termohidráulico. Esta técnica permite utilizar diferentes métodos iterativos que permiten resolver la dinámica del sistema completo acelerando la convergencia de los resultados.Publicado en: Mecánica Computacional vol.

Synthesis of large pores zeolite by soft templating strategy in the presence of novel organic template

Zeolites have a great importance in catalytic process such as isomerization and alkylation. Large pores mordenite zeolite was hydrothemally prepared by soft templating strategy using N,N-dimethylaniline as a novel structure-directing agent. The synthetized mesoporous mordenite was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), N2 physical adsorption (BET), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). XRD and FTIR have been used to inform on the mordenite structure. SEM shows the crystals morphology and expanded pore opening, and N2 physical adsorption confirms the presence of mesoporous channels. The results show that in presence of N,N-dimethylaniline as organic template, mesoporous mordenite can be succefully synthesized
