Maternal antecedents to adolescent girls’ neural regulation of emotion
No full textCurrent research on adolescent brain development has uncovered individual differences in patterns of functional connectivity during the regulation of emotions, reflecting differences in psychological and emotional functioning. The purpose of this study was to identify possible contributors to these individual differences by investigating the role of maternal emotional resources, in the form of adult attachment and emotional awareness. Participants included 35 adolescent girls (M age = 15.51, SD = 0.37) who completed an implicit emotion regulation task (Lieberman et al., 2007) during an fMRI scan following 9th grade. Mothers reported on the quality of their adult attachment when youth were in 3rd and 4th grades and reported on their emotional awareness when youth were in 4th and 5th grades. We found that higher levels of maternal anxious attachment and lower levels of maternal emotional awareness were significantly correlated with more positive (i.e., ineffective) amygdala-right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (rVLPFC) connectivity. Further, path analysis revealed that there was an indirect effect of maternal anxious attachment on adolescent functional connectivity through maternal emotional awareness. These results suggest that exposure to compromised maternal emotional resources in childhood may be linked to the development of ineffective neural processing of emotions, highlighting one pathway for the intergenerational transmission of disrupted emotion processing.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-12-01The student, Haina Modi, accepted the attached license on 2018-11-19 at 09:33.The student, Haina Modi, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2018-11-19 at 09:42.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2018-11-26 at 11:59.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13098 on 2019-02-07 at 14:17:36Made available in DSpace on 2019-02-07T20:35:58Z (GMT).

Evaluation of Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Partnership Schemes under the Revised National Tuberculosis Program (RNTCP) in Gujarat, India
No full textBackground: Government of India has started NGO schemes under RNTCP since 2001. However, there are no details available to show the impact or effectiveness of such interventions. The study was conducted to evaluate the NGO partnership schemes under RNTCP and to identify challenges and probable solutions for improvement of the same.
Methods: Mixed methods design: Quantitative data collection followed by Qualitative phase (personal interviews) during year 2016-17 across the Gujarat. 25% NGOs were selected from each scheme by two-stage random sampling.
Results: Most NGOs were enrolled in Scheme 1 and 2 (advocacy and slum). No NGOs enrolled in Scheme 10 and 11, while only 1 NGO was enrolled in Scheme 7, 8 and 9. All the NGO have registration number, submitted financial documents and 96.5% NGO were registered in NGO portal. Only 41.4% NGOs attended regular monthly DTO meeting. Almost 80% NGO shad organized sensitization meeting among high risk groups. Sputum positivity was more than 5% in most NGO. Defaulter retrieval was high but actual number of patients was low.
Conclusion: NGO scheme under RNTCP are useful to reach the objectives, however they are underutilized and focused only in selected schemes/ geographic areas. RNTCP need to revise existing schemes to ensure more NGOs involved and work in larger geographic areas
Evaluation Of Public Private Partnership Model for Newborn Care Services at Trust Hospitals in High Priority Talukas of Gujarat, India
No full textIntroduction: This study evaluated performance of Public Private Partnership (PPP) model adopted to improve infant mortality.
Methodology: For quantitative assessment, analysis of data from labor room records and Newborn Stabilization Unit (NBSU)/ Specialized Newborn Care Unit (SNCU) records, availability and training status of human resource and availability and functional status of equipment. For qualitative assessment, all specialist Doctors and Staff Nurses at all four Trust Hospitals were assessed for knowledge and skills.
Result: Most of the equipment critical for running NBSU/ SNCU were available and functional. Higher admission rate in SNCU were seen in two Hospitals where full time Pediatrician was available. There was high variation for the neonatal mortality, referral and Left Against Medical Advice (LAMA) among four hospitals, with no information regarding outcome among referrals and LAMA neonates. Most of the healthcare providers scored moderate to good in knowledge and skill assessment with wide inter-hospital variation.
Conclusion: Utilization and effectiveness of NBSU/ SNCU depends on availability of specialist doctors and para-medical staff, their training and skills and well equipped facility. The centers need to work in close coordination with local public health officers for following up neonates in the field
En Modi-fierad demokrati : En kvantitativ innehållsanalys gällande amerikansk nyhetsrapportering om Indien
No full textThe Swedish independent research institute V-Dem, which measures democracy around the world, declared in their most recent report on the issue that India was no longer classified as a democracy, but an electoral autocracy. Amongst other things, V-Dem draws the conclusion that the election of the Hindu nationalist leader Narendra Modi in 2014 has been a strong contributor to the decline in democracy in India. At the same time, The U.S. Department of State declares that the U.S.-India partnership is founded on a shared commitment to freedom and democratic principles. With India as a close ally, friction could arise. This thesis aims to explore how India is portrayed in American media, to get a broader understanding of how Americans view India and Narendra Modi. Many scholars believe policy is based on people’s opinions, and people’s opinions are largely based on how the media portrays certain issues. The author also draws a comparison between American right-leaning media outlets and left-leaning media outlets to examine if there are any differences regarding the depiction of India between them. By performing a quantitative content analysis, the author aims to examine how American media portrays India, its leaders, and democracy. The layout of the study is based on exanimating 175 published articles about India and coding them via a codebook designed to measure democratic values and the depiction of Narendra Modi, his government, and party BJP. The findings suggest that when democratic values are depicted in articles about India, it is mostly in negative terms. On the other hand, the portrayal of Narendra Modi, his government, and his party are more balanced. The findings also suggest that right-leaning and left-leaning media have a very similar way of portraying India, its democracy, and Narendra Modi
Psychological treatments in schizophrenia: II. Meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials of social skills training and cognitive remediation
No full textBackground. Social skills training and cognitive remediation are psychological techniques with considerable face validity for the treatment of negative symptoms of schizophrenia and their consequences. This paper provides a meta-analytical review of these treatments. It includes an appreciable number of randomized controlled trials, using comparisons against both standard care and other active interventions. However, the assessment of particular outcomes sometimes had to be based on single studies.Method. A detailed search strategy was used to identify randomized controlled trials of social skills training and cognitive remediation, primarily employing electronic databases. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that met predefined criteria were then subjected to meta-analysis on a variety of outcome measures.Results. There was no clear evidence for any benefits of social skills training on relapse rate, global adjustment, social functioning, quality of life or treatment compliance. Cognitive remediation had no benefit on attention, verbal memory, visual memory, planning, cognitive flexibility or mental state.Conclusions. Social skills training and cognitive remediation do not appear to confer reliable benefits for patients with schizophrenia and cannot be recommended for clinical practice
Performance analysis of machine learning applications on rapid: a highly parallel computer architecture
No full textOver the past few years, the interest and application of machine learning algorithms has risen exponentially. Machine learning has found extensive use in diverse fields like self-driving cars, speech recognition, image processing, computer vision, molecular biology, security etc. A lot of recent research involves evaluation of machine learning applications on different architectures. In this thesis, we evaluate the performance of six common machine learning algorithms: K-Means, K-Nearest Neighbors, Linear Regression, Latent Dirichlet Allocation, Deep Neural Network, and Radix Sort on RAPID. RAPID is a highly parallel computer architecture developed at Oracle Labs for accelerating and improving the performance of database analytic workloads. We find that the RAPID platform performs well on the performance-per-watt metric i.e. it is a power-efficient architecture. Moreover, the machine learning applications can be easily scaled to hundreds of nodes of the RAPID architecture, thereby making it suitable for distributed machine learning applications. However, we find certain bottlenecks in the micro-architecture, memory system and network of the RAPID architecture and propose optimizations to make it a more performance efficient architecture for machine learning applications.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2019-05-01The student, Aakash Modi, accepted the attached license on 2017-04-26 at 12:22.The student, Aakash Modi, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2017-04-26 at 12:30.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2017-04-26 at 16:22.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #11087 on 2017-08-10 at 14:32:41Made available in DSpace on 2017-08-10T19:52:24Z (GMT).

Comparison Of Neonatal Morbidity and Mortality Among Late Preterm and Term Neonates at Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Gujarat
No full textBackground: Late preterm infants are physiologically less mature and have limited compensatory responses to the extra-uterine envi- ronment, compared with term infants. Although late preterm infants are the largest subgroup of preterm infants, there has been little re- search on this group until recently.
Aims: The present study is an attempt to obtain actual data on pat- tern of early neonatal morbidities and mortality among late preterm infant.
Material and Methods: This hospital based retrospective study was carried out by enrolling live newborns admitted during January 2014 to December 2014 in the neonatal intensive care unit at Civil Hospit- al, Gandhinagar, Gujarat. With ethical permission from Institutional Ethical Committee and administrative permission from medical su- perintendent files of the neonates were retrospectively reviewed.
Results: Mean weight in term neonates is more (3.14±0.48) than late preterm neonates (2.35±0.43). Chance of any morbidity is almost 3 times higher in late preterm compared to term neonates. Proportional death rate is more than double in late preterm neonates (13.79%) compared to term neonates (6.25%).
Conclusion: Late preterm neonates are at higher risk of different morbidities and mortalities so they required extra care and special attention for prevention of any adverse effect
MODi: A powerful and convenient web server for identifying multiple post-translational peptide modifications from tandem mass spectra
No full textMODi (http://modi.uos.ac.kr/modi/) is a powerful and convenient web service that facilitates the interpretation of tandem mass spectra for identifying post-translational modifications (PTMs) in a peptide. It is powerful in that it can interpret a tandem mass spectrum even when hundreds of modification types are considered and the number of potential PTMs in a peptide is large, in contrast to most of the methods currently available for spectra interpretation that limit the number of PTM sites and types being used for PTM analysis. For example, using MODi, one can consider for analysis both the entire PTM list published on the unimod webpage (http://www.unimod.org) and user-defined PTMs simultaneously, and one can also identify multiple PTM sites in a spectrum. MODi is convenient in that it can take various input file formats such as .mzXML, .dta, .pkl and .mgf files, and it is equipped with a graphical tool called MassPective developed to display MODi's output in a user-friendly manner and helps users understand MODi's output quickly. In addition, one can perform manual de novo sequencing using MassPective. © The Author 2006. Published by Oxford University Press. All rights reserved
