Common among African-American women, patients suffering from them often arrive late to the hospital in our African regions. This study aimed to investigate the knowledge and perception of uterine fibroids among women who came to the gynecology-obstetrics department of the Regional Hospital Center (CHR) Tsévié. Methodology: It was a cross-sectional descriptive study, with data collection conducted from May 7th to 20th, 2024, using systematic sampling. The study included all women present in the Gynecology-Obstetrics Department of CHR Tsévié during the study period who willingly and informedly consented to participate in the survey. Results: 362 women participated in the study. Among them, 36.8% had a secondary level, and 72.9% were Christians. About 97.5% had heard of uterine fibroids. In 63.5% of cases, their entourage was the principal source of information. The diagnostic methods mentioned by the women were ultrasound in 94.6% of cases, while prayers and occultism were also cited in 28% and 33.3% of cases, respectively. While 91.9% of the women considered the hospital, the place for treatment, some indicated that treatment would require plant-based approaches (46.8%) and prayers (26%). The cost of treatment was an obstacle for 85.4% of women, and 61.3% expressed fear of dying during surgery. There was a statistically significant relationship between treatment choice and religion. Conclusion: The majority of women had heard of uterine fibroids but had incorrect information about the treatment.展开更多

A survey was conducted among 60 mango farmers in 7 districts in Sierra Leone between June and August, 2022, to assess their perceptions regarding fruit fly pest status and the current management options adopted for the control of this pest. Semi-structured questions designed in an open and closed-ended fashion were used for the study. The majority (83%) of the farmers were already aware of the fruit fly problem in the country with 62% perceiving it to be very severe. The majority (60%) of farmers, however, demonstrated poor knowledge of identifying fruit fly species, especially Bactrocera dorsalis, Ceratitis capitata, and Ceratitis cosyra. Farmers were more conversant about the direct damage symptoms to host fruits and the economic impact of fruit flies. A total of 32% of growers took no action to control fruit flies on their farms. Sixty-nine percent (69%) of the farmers adopted cultural control measures, like practicing prompt harvesting, collection and disposal of infested fruits, and weeding to maintain better sanitary conditions on their farms. Recommended fruit fly management strategies such as the use of botanicals and resistant varieties were either unknown or inaccessible to growers. A total of 52% applied chemicals that were not recommended for the control of fruit flies without considering their environmental and health risks. It is important to train fruit growers to improve their capabilities for fruit fly management through extension agents that are appropriate for helping them acquire basic knowledge of fruit fly pests and their management.展开更多

In humans, auditory processing differs physiologically between males and females, possibly true for SCA due to gender-specific disease pathophysiological changes. Objective: To investigate gender differences in psychoacoustical abilities, and speech perception in noise in SCA individuals and further compare with normal healthy(NH) population. Methods: 80 SCA and 80 NH normal-hearing participants aged 15-40 years were included and further grouped based on gender. Auditory discrimination for frequency, intensity, and duration at 500Hz and 4000Hz;temporal processing(Gap detection threshold & Modulation Detection Threshold) and Speech Perception In Noise(SPIN) at 0d BSNR tests were evaluated and compared between males and females of SCA and NH population. Results: SCA performed poorer compared to NH for all experimental measures. In the NH population, males performed poorer than females in psychoacoustical measures whereas within the SCA population, the reverse was true. Female participants performed better in the SPIN test in both populations. Conclusions: The adverse impact of SCA on the auditory system due to circulatory changes might cause poorer performance in SCA. Poorer performance by Female SCA is possibly due to the contrary impact of lower Hb level overlying Sickle disease.Estrogen levels and gender preference in auditory processing might lead to better performance by females within the NH population. SPIN performance depends on different attentional demands and sensorimotor processing strategies in noise beyond psychoacoustical processing may lead to better female performance in both populations.展开更多

Individuals from all of society, especially minority groups, feel that they are accepted and they show themselves in a way in the public space. Even though the perception and usage of public space have changed in time, people still feel free themselves in these areas. However, ‘terrorism’, which is a reality in today's world, is one of the cases which pose danger to the public spaces. Thus, the image of these areas has changed from “the areas where individuals they feel freer” to “the areas where people are vulnerable to many potential attacks”. This study tells you how the public perception has changed over time and examine the intended use of the public due to these changes. Terrorist activities increased all of the World and public spaces of the individual in the face of this reality, perception and Jane Jacobs, urban life and public relations with the charm of the terrorist phenomenon is one of the main problems the 21st century in the context of views on security are discussed. Also in this report, in order to provide a team recommendation for safe public space taking into account the author's views on security was available. For this purpose, the metropolis of Istanbul is selected as the study area were interviewed and the people living in Istanbul with internet environment. At the end of the 90s until today has changed the perception of how the public and in the public domain when individuals are discussed how they use.展开更多

Sixty-nine percent (69%) of the farmers adopted cultural control measures, like practicing prompt harvesting, collection and disposal of infested fruits, and weeding to maintain better sanitary conditions on their farms. Recommended fruit fly management strategies such as the use of botanicals and resistant varieties were either unknown or inaccessible to growers. A total of 52% applied chemicals that were not recommended for the control of fruit flies without considering their environmental and health risks. It is important to train fruit growers to improve their capabilities for fruit fly management through extension agents that are appropriate for helping them acquire basic knowledge of fruit fly pests and their management.
文摘The subcortical visual pathway is generally thought to be involved in dangerous information processing,such as fear processing and defensive behavior.A recent study,published in Human Brain Mapping,shows a new function of the subcortical pathway involved in the fast processing of non-emotional object perception.Rapid object processing is a critical function of visual system.Topological perception theory proposes that the initial perception of objects begins with the extraction of topological property(TP).However,the mechanism of rapid TP processing remains unclear.The researchers investigated the subcortical mechanism of TP processing with transcranial magnetic stimulation(TMS).They find that a subcortical magnocellular pathway is responsible for the early processing of TP,and this subcortical processing of TP accelerates object recognition.Based on their findings,we propose a novel training approach called subcortical magnocellular pathway training(SMPT),aimed at improving the efficiency of the subcortical M pathway to restore visual and attentional functions in disorders associated with subcortical pathway dysfunction.

文摘SARS-CoV-2,particularly the Omicron variant,often leads to flavor perception dysfunction in infected individuals,making a comprehensive understanding of its duration and recovery patterns a critical part of disease management.This study surveyed a cohort of 199 mildly-to-moderately affected SARS-CoV-2 Omicron-infected patients,focusing on the alterations in their olfaction,taste,and chemesthesis perception.Further,a subset of 36 participants(18 healthy and 18 infected)underwent sensory evaluations to check the variation of umami taste sensitivity.The results demonstrated that most of the infected cohort experienced chemosensory disorders,with the recovery period varying between one week and over a month.Intriguingly,the severity of flavor perception changes during infection significantly correlated with the length of the recovery period.Furthermore,this study explored the specific manifestations of flavor perception dysfunction,potential contributing factors,and potential mechanistic explanations for chemosensory disorders.These include local damage,inflammatory responses,and virus-induced neural damage.However,this study revealed no significant change(P>0.05)in umami taste sensitivity among infected patients 55 days post-infection.While this research faces limitations related to its self-reported,cross-sectional design,and regional focus,it offers valuable insights into the multifaceted impact of COVID-19,particularly the Omicron variant,on chemosensory perception.

文摘To elucidate the fracturing mechanism of deep hard rock under complex disturbance environments,this study investigates the dynamic failure behavior of pre-damaged granite subjected to multi-source dynamic disturbances.Blasting vibration monitoring was conducted in a deep-buried drill-and-blast tunnel to characterize in-situ dynamic loading conditions.Subsequently,true triaxial compression tests incorporating multi-source disturbances were performed using a self-developed wide-low-frequency true triaxial system to simulate disturbance accumulation and damage evolution in granite.The results demonstrate that combined dynamic disturbances and unloading damage significantly accelerate strength degradation and trigger shear-slip failure along preferentially oriented blast-induced fractures,with strength reductions up to 16.7%.Layered failure was observed on the free surface of pre-damaged granite under biaxial loading,indicating a disturbance-induced fracture localization mechanism.Time-stress-fracture-energy coupling fields were constructed to reveal the spatiotemporal characteristics of fracture evolution.Critical precursor frequency bands(105-150,185-225,and 300-325 kHz)were identified,which serve as diagnostic signatures of impending failure.A dynamic instability mechanism driven by multi-source disturbance superposition and pre-damage evolution was established.Furthermore,a grouting-based wave-absorption control strategy was proposed to mitigate deep dynamic disasters by attenuating disturbance amplitude and reducing excitation frequency.
文摘Background: Sickle cell anemia(SCA), a genetic hemoglobin disorder, suggests essential inner ear compromise and poor auditory processing. In humans, auditory processing differs physiologically between males and females, possibly true for SCA due to gender-specific disease pathophysiological changes. Objective: To investigate gender differences in psychoacoustical abilities, and speech perception in noise in SCA individuals and further compare with normal healthy(NH) population. Methods: 80 SCA and 80 NH normal-hearing participants aged 15-40 years were included and further grouped based on gender. Auditory discrimination for frequency, intensity, and duration at 500Hz and 4000Hz;temporal processing(Gap detection threshold & Modulation Detection Threshold) and Speech Perception In Noise(SPIN) at 0d BSNR tests were evaluated and compared between males and females of SCA and NH population. Results: SCA performed poorer compared to NH for all experimental measures. In the NH population, males performed poorer than females in psychoacoustical measures whereas within the SCA population, the reverse was true. Female participants performed better in the SPIN test in both populations. Conclusions: The adverse impact of SCA on the auditory system due to circulatory changes might cause poorer performance in SCA. Poorer performance by Female SCA is possibly due to the contrary impact of lower Hb level overlying Sickle disease.Estrogen levels and gender preference in auditory processing might lead to better performance by females within the NH population. SPIN performance depends on different attentional demands and sensorimotor processing strategies in noise beyond psychoacoustical processing may lead to better female performance in both populations.

文摘The SiO_(2) inverse opal photonic crystals(PC)with a three-dimensional macroporous structure were fabricated by the sacrificial template method,followed by infiltration of a pyrene derivative,1-(pyren-8-yl)but-3-en-1-amine(PEA),to achieve a formaldehyde(FA)-sensitive and fluorescence-enhanced sensing film.Utilizing the specific Aza-Cope rearrangement reaction of allylamine of PEA and FA to generate a strong fluorescent product emitted at approximately 480 nm,we chose a PC whose blue band edge of stopband overlapped with the fluorescence emission wavelength.In virtue of the fluorescence enhancement property derived from slow photon effect of PC,FA was detected highly selectively and sensitively.The limit of detection(LoD)was calculated to be 1.38 nmol/L.Furthermore,the fast detection of FA(within 1 min)is realized due to the interconnected three-dimensional macroporous structure of the inverse opal PC and its high specific surface area.The prepared sensing film can be used for the detection of FA in air,aquatic products and living cells.The very close FA content in indoor air to the result from FA detector,the recovery rate of 101.5%for detecting FA in aquatic products and fast fluorescence imaging in 2 min for living cells demonstrate the reliability and accuracy of our method in practical applications.

文摘In the heterogeneous power internet of things(IoT)environment,data signals are acquired to support different business systems to realize advanced intelligent applications,with massive,multi-source,heterogeneous and other characteristics.Reliable perception of information and efficient transmission of energy in multi-source heterogeneous environments are crucial issues.Compressive sensing(CS),as an effective method of signal compression and transmission,can accurately recover the original signal only by very few sampling.In this paper,we study a new method of multi-source heterogeneous data signal reconstruction of power IoT based on compressive sensing technology.Based on the traditional compressive sensing technology to directly recover multi-source heterogeneous signals,we fully use the interference subspace information to design the measurement matrix,which directly and effectively eliminates the interference while making the measurement.The measure matrix is optimized by minimizing the average cross-coherence of the matrix,and the reconstruction performance of the new method is further improved.Finally,the effectiveness of the new method with different parameter settings under different multi-source heterogeneous data signal cases is verified by using orthogonal matching pursuit(OMP)and sparsity adaptive matching pursuit(SAMP)for considering the actual environment with prior information utilization of signal sparsity and no prior information utilization of signal sparsity.

文摘Due to the development of cloud computing and machine learning,users can upload their data to the cloud for machine learning model training.However,dishonest clouds may infer user data,resulting in user data leakage.Previous schemes have achieved secure outsourced computing,but they suffer from low computational accuracy,difficult-to-handle heterogeneous distribution of data from multiple sources,and high computational cost,which result in extremely poor user experience and expensive cloud computing costs.To address the above problems,we propose amulti-precision,multi-sourced,andmulti-key outsourcing neural network training scheme.Firstly,we design a multi-precision functional encryption computation based on Euclidean division.Second,we design the outsourcing model training algorithm based on a multi-precision functional encryption with multi-sourced heterogeneity.Finally,we conduct experiments on three datasets.The results indicate that our framework achieves an accuracy improvement of 6%to 30%.Additionally,it offers a memory space optimization of 1.0×2^(24) times compared to the previous best approach.

文摘Accurate monitoring of track irregularities is very helpful to improving the vehicle operation quality and to formulating appropriate track maintenance strategies.Existing methods have the problem that they rely on complex signal processing algorithms and lack multi-source data analysis.Driven by multi-source measurement data,including the axle box,the bogie frame and the carbody accelerations,this paper proposes a track irregularities monitoring network(TIMNet)based on deep learning methods.TIMNet uses the feature extraction capability of convolutional neural networks and the sequence map-ping capability of the long short-term memory model to explore the mapping relationship between vehicle accelerations and track irregularities.The particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to optimize the network parameters,so that both the vertical and lateral track irregularities can be accurately identified in the time and spatial domains.The effectiveness and superiority of the proposed TIMNet is analyzed under different simulation conditions using a vehicle dynamics model.Field tests are conducted to prove the availability of the proposed TIMNet in quantitatively monitoring vertical and lateral track irregularities.Furthermore,comparative tests show that the TIMNet has a better fitting degree and timeliness in monitoring track irregularities(vertical R2 of 0.91,lateral R2 of 0.84 and time cost of 10 ms),compared to other classical regression.The test also proves that the TIMNet has a better anti-interference ability than other regression models.
文摘While people met in order to socialize on public spaces in the past, these areas are perceived as a ‘alone in the crowds’ by people who are in the loneliness of modern era, as well as these areas still serve as a social area. Individuals from all of society, especially minority groups, feel that they are accepted and they show themselves in a way in the public space. Even though the perception and usage of public space have changed in time, people still feel free themselves in these areas. However, ‘terrorism’, which is a reality in today's world, is one of the cases which pose danger to the public spaces. Thus, the image of these areas has changed from “the areas where individuals they feel freer” to “the areas where people are vulnerable to many potential attacks”. This study tells you how the public perception has changed over time and examine the intended use of the public due to these changes. Terrorist activities increased all of the World and public spaces of the individual in the face of this reality, perception and Jane Jacobs, urban life and public relations with the charm of the terrorist phenomenon is one of the main problems the 21st century in the context of views on security are discussed. Also in this report, in order to provide a team recommendation for safe public space taking into account the author's views on security was available. For this purpose, the metropolis of Istanbul is selected as the study area were interviewed and the people living in Istanbul with internet environment. At the end of the 90s until today has changed the perception of how the public and in the public domain when individuals are discussed how they use.

文摘Objectives:This study aimed to explore the perceptions and recommendations of multiparas and health-related professionals regarding appropriate birth intervals(Bis)and key determinants.Methods:In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted between April 1 and June 30,2022.Nine multiparas and thirteen health-related professionals were purposefully sampled until data saturation was reached.A thematic analysis approach was applied to the interview transcripts,utilizing dual independent coding and consensus validation in NVivo 12.0.Results:The data generated two overarching categories:1)balanced decision-making on the appropriate birth intervals and 2)internal and external determinants integrated with health and societal considerations.Four key themes emerged following the two categories:1)consistency and discrepancy between the actual and recommended birth intervals of multiparas;2)health-and developmentoriented professional recommendations;3)internal determinants related to individual-level factors;and 4)external determinants related to child-related factors,family support,and social security.Weighing women's reproductive health and career development,multiparas and health-related professionals perceived a length between 18 and 36 months as the appropriate Bl.Conclusion:Multiparas and health-related professionals shaped their balanced recommendations on a relatively appropriate birth interval ranging from 18 to 36 months,which was influenced by women's individual-level factors,child-related factors,family support,and social security.Targeted social and healthcare services should be offered to women and their families during the Bls.
文摘Gait,the unique pattern of how a person walks,has emerged as one of the most promising biometric features in modern intelligent sensing.Unlike fingerprints or facial characteristics,gait can be captured unobtrusively and at a distance,without requiring the subject’s awareness or cooperation.This makes it highly suitable for long-range surveillance,forensic investigation,and smart environments where contactless recognition is crucial.Traditional gait-recognition systems rely either on silhouettes,which capture the outer appearance of a person,or on skeletons,which describe the internal structure of human motion.Each modality provides only a partial understanding of gait.Silhouettes emphasize shape and contour but are easily distorted by clothing or carried objects;skeletons describe motion dynamics and limb coordination but lose discriminative details about body shape.This article presents the concept of Complementary Semantic Embedding(CSE),a unified framework that merges silhouette and skeleton information into a comprehensive semantic representation of human walking.By modeling the complementary nature of appearance and structure,the approach achieves more robust and accurate gait recognition even under challenging conditions.
