Female Sexual Dysfunction in Women After Treatment of Cervical Dysplasia
No full textINTRODUCTION: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer worldwide and accounted for approximately 570,000 new cancer cases and 311,000 cancer deaths in 2018. Despite advances in screening algorithms many US women undergo excisional cervical procedures for the treatment of cervical dysplasia. The effects of loop electrosurgical excisional procedure (LEEP) and cold knife conization (CKC) on sexual function are relatively unknown. OBJECTIVES: To conduct a comprehensive review of the literature regarding the effects cervical cancer screening and treatment on female sexual function and satisfaction METHODS: We conducted a review of the medical literature up to and including November 2021 on PubMED using search terms related to cervical dysplasia and sexual health. We identified 831 articles and selected 39 articles for inclusion in our review. Nine studies were included that specifically focused on the effect of loop electrosurgical excisional procedure (LEEP) on female sexual function. RESULTS: Multiple studies demonstrated adverse psychologic and sexual effects in patients with cervical dysplasia and after colposcopy. Some studies reported that women experience decreased arousal and interest 6 months following colposcopy. Several studies documented adverse effects on lubrication, sexual pain, and desire following LEEP. CONCLUSIONS: There is a lack of high quality research on the effect of LEEP and colposcopy on female sexual function. Important limitations in the review of the current literature include, a small sample size, inconsistent comparison groups, observer bias, and lack the use of standardized questionnaires. Clinicians should continue to provide patients education regarding the risks and benefits of different treatment modalities and potential for effects on sexual function should be included in comprehensive counseling.

Obstacles on the path: An exposition of the experience of car-free living
No full textThe contemporary focus by local and central government on the promotion of sustainable transport options has highlighted the need for commuting to move away from the current dependence on private cars to more public and active (walking and cycling) modes of transport. Given the prominence of the motor car in personal transport options however, choosing to live car-free in this car dependent culture appears at first glance to be an irrational choice. This research explores the lived experiences of a group of Hamilton residents who have made such a choice. Using a grounded theory approach, the thesis presents the results of interviews with nine car-free Hamilton residents who shared their personal transport stories, which include their childhood experiences, but focus on their current everyday practices and experiences. Through semi-structured interviews, the costs and benefits of a car-free lifestyle are articulated and analysed. Their motivations for choosing to forgo cars and their solutions for overcoming potential barriers to car-free living are also reported and explored. The collected data generated a range of themes which are presented in three chapters, each covering a specific aspect of the participants’ stories. The first group of themes relate to the public sphere, the second to the private realm and the final group emanates from specific elements of car-free living that the thesis sought to clarify through the participants’ stories. The key finding is that living car-free within Hamilton City is viewed by the participants as a well reasoned and eminently sensible choice, which produces multiple benefits. In addition to their reduced environmental footprints, the participants value the social interaction associated with active and public transport. Their consensus is that they are healthier, wealthier and more involved members of the community. The most problematic areas of living without a car were associated with recreational and social activities, which often do not coincide with public transport schedules or involve distances too great for active transport. The benefits far outweigh any disadvantages however, and ultimately, this thesis concludes that a motor car is not necessary for the everyday activities of urban living in Hamilton and any associated inconveniences are not as insurmountable as generally imagined
What Notice Did
No full textIn the 21st century, copyright protection is automatic. It vests in eligible works the instant that those works are first embodied in a tangible format. Many Americans are unaware of that, believing instead that registration and copyright notice are required to secure a copyright. That impression is understandable. For its first 199 years, United States copyright law required authors to take affirmative steps to obtain copyright protection. The first U.S. copyright statute, enacted by Congress in 1790, required the eligible author of an eligible work to record the title of the work with the clerk of the court in the author\u27s local district, deposit a copy of the printed title with the clerk\u27s office, cause a copy of the registration record to be printed for four weeks running in a newspaper, and deliver a copy of the published work to the Secretary of State. Twelve years later, Congress added an additional requirement: copyright owners must place a prescribed copyright notice on every copy of a copyrighted work. In 1909, Congress eliminated the registration and deposit pre‐requisites for protection, but retained until 1978 the requirement that accurate copyright notice appear on every copy of a work. For 176 years of United States copyright history, then, accurate copyright notice was essential to securing a copyright in almost all works. Publishing copies of a work without copyright notice, or with the wrong name in the notice, was fatal to copyright protection

No full textPeople value convenience and comfort features such as safe walking conditions, pleasant waiting areas, real-time vehicle arrival information and uncrowded transit vehicles. Travelers tend to place a high value on qualitative factors such as convenience, comfort, security and prestige. However, conventional transport planning practices tend to focus on quantitative impacts and undervalue qualitative impacts. This paper describes ways to evaluate qualitative impacts. Improved travel convenience and comfort tend to reduce unit travel time costs and so are equivalent in value to increased travel speed. Improved analysis of qualitative factors can expand the range of impacts and options considered in transport evaluation, leading to better planning decisions. It is particularly important for efforts to encourage use of alternative modes such as walking, cycling and public transit

The affiliation agreement in US broadcasting : The tie that binds
No full textThe affiliation agreement has historically been the mechanism through which television networks in the USA have solidified their power, erected barriers to entry for new networks, and taken over control of prime-time programming. While the FCC has modified certain contract terms, local affiliates still clear a staggering amount of network programmes. The central issue for public policy analysis is what can be done to take advantage of the economies of scale of networking without the accompanying side effects on new entry and programming decisions. The author explores what might happen if programme-by-programme bidding were substituted for the affiliation agreement.
