Cancer Care Providers’ Knowledge and Attitudes Towards Women’s Cancer in Peru
No full textThesis (Master's)--University of Washington, 2018Abstract Cancer Care Providers’ Knowledge and Attitudes Towards Women’s Cancer in Peru Lucia J Rodriguez-Alvizo Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Deepa Rao Department of Global Health In Peru, cancer is the second leading cause of death with an expected increase in new cases. Women comprise 64.4% of new cases with breast and cervical cancer having some of the highest prevalence, mortality, and morbidity. This study utilized mixed-methods to analyze cancer care providers’ knowledge and attitudes during a 2015 Pan American Health Organization’s conference on women’s cancers. Surveys measured knowledge, stigma, and fear as potential barriers to quality of cancer care before and after conference participation. In focus group discussions, providers identified barriers and facilitators to breast and cervical cancer detection and treatment. Paired t test analyses demonstrated an increase in knowledge after conference participation. In addition, providers identified individual (fear, shame, anticipated stigma), interpersonal (gender norms, marital relationships, and lived experience of social network), organizational (structural health system barriers and community based communication), community (stigma), and policy (Plan Esperanza) level barriers and facilitators. Thus, our study showed that educational conferences could be an avenue to increasing provider knowledge. Also, the providers highlighted the importance of social networks, family and social support when strengthening and developing efforts to engage women in care

Heterogeneous and tissue-specific regulation of effector T cell responses by IFN-gamma during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection.
No full textIFN-γ and T cells are both required for the development of experimental cerebral malaria during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection. Surprisingly, however, the role of IFN-γ in shaping the effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell response during this infection has not been examined in detail. To address this, we have compared the effector T cell responses in wild-type and IFN-γ(-/-) mice during P. berghei ANKA infection. The expansion of splenic CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells during P. berghei ANKA infection was unaffected by the absence of IFN-γ, but the contraction phase of the T cell response was significantly attenuated. Splenic T cell activation and effector function were essentially normal in IFN-γ(-/-) mice; however, the migration to, and accumulation of, effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in the lung, liver, and brain was altered in IFN-γ(-/-) mice. Interestingly, activation and accumulation of T cells in various nonlymphoid organs was differently affected by lack of IFN-γ, suggesting that IFN-γ influences T cell effector function to varying levels in different anatomical locations. Importantly, control of splenic T cell numbers during P. berghei ANKA infection depended on active IFN-γ-dependent environmental signals--leading to T cell apoptosis--rather than upon intrinsic alterations in T cell programming. To our knowledge, this is the first study to fully investigate the role of IFN-γ in modulating T cell function during P. berghei ANKA infection and reveals that IFN-γ is required for efficient contraction of the pool of activated T cells
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Corrections to “An Improved Harmonics Mitigation Scheme for a Modular Multilevel Converter” [2019 147244-147255]
No full textIn the above-named work, T. Deepa should have been listed as the second co-author of the article with the affiliation of (1): School of Electrical Engineering, Vellore Institute of Technology, Chennai 600127, India. The author's biography is also provided within this correction. Additionally, the correct zip code of affiliation (1) should be 600127, and the correct statement on financial support acknowledgement should be as follows: "This work was funded by the Renewable Energy Laboratory, Department of Communications and Networks Engineering, Prince Sultan University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia." It is necessary to mention the nature of funding provided by Prince Sultan University and to note the correction in the spelling of the university in the same statement in the published manuscript
Pelevin’s Trinity in the novel “t”: author – protagonist – reader
No full textThe article attempts to interpret Pelevin's artistic strategy in the novel "T" by exploring its subject organization and addressing the key problems of the author, the protagonist, and the reader as they are seen by the researcher. The article analyzes the peculiarities of constructing the narrative reality in the novel "T", and goes on to discuss Pelevin's philosophic models of the development of the humankind, and the emergence of his new anthropology
Measuring industry-science links through inventor-author relations: A profiling method
No full textIn this pilot study we examine the performance of text-based profiling in recovering a set of validated inventor-author links. In a first step we match patents and publications solely based on their similarity in content. Next, we compare inventor and author names on the highest ranked matches for the occurrence of name matches. Finally, we compare these candidate matches with the names listed in a validated set of inventor-author names. Our text-based profile methodology performs significantly better than a random matching of patents and publications, suggesting that text-based profiling is a valuable complementary tool to the name searches used in previous studies.innovation; industry-science links; text-based profiling;
