Emergency Contraceptive Use among Female Students of Aksum University, Aksum, Northern Ethiopia
Abstract: Unintended pregnancy is a public health problem among young women in developing countries like Ethiopia. Emergency contraceptives (ECs) can be used as a backup in case regular contraception is not used, misused or failed. However, little is documented about sexual experiences and EC use in highly religious areas like Aksum where sexual rights may not be exercised freely. Therefore, this study was aimed at assessing sexual experiences and EC use …

A Comparative Study of Timed Up and Go Test and Tinetti Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment in Predicting Falls in Hemiparetic Stroke Patients
Abstract: Hemiparesis following stroke is the most frequent cause of adult disability. Falls in stroke survivors are a consequence of stroke related locomotor deficits or balance deficits or gait disturbances. Falls are common following stroke but knowledge about predicting future fallers is lacking. The purpose of this study was to compare Timed Up and Go test (TUG) scores and Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA) scores for predicting falls in Hemiparetic patients …

A Study to Assess the Behavioural Problems of Children Among Mothers Living in Nuclear and Joint Families in Selected Areas, Sri Ganganagar
Abstract: Background of the Study: The nuclear family, rather than the extended family, is more common in the developing world. Other families are frequently thousands of miles distant, and their economic links are shaky at best. In this case, the family is more of a consuming unit than a development unit, with parenting being the "single largest predictor involved in childhood sickness and deaths, underage pregnancy and drug dependence, truancy, school …

Uncommon Occurrence of Gastric Adenocarcinoma Occurring in a Patient with Common Variable Immunodeficiency Syndrome
Abstract: Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) belongs to the diagnostic category of primary immunodeficiency (PID). They are characterized by a heterogeneous group of disorders that include recurrent infections, autoimmunity, granulomatous diseases and malignancies. The incidence of malignancy in CVID patients is around 1.5–20.7% and usually occurs during the 4th–6th decade of life. Non-hodgkin lymphoma is the most frequent malignancy, followed by epithelial tumors of stomach, breast, bladder and cervix. Patients with CVID …

Correlation of Ki-67 Score with Nottingham Histological Grading in Carcinoma Breast: A Single Institution Experience
Abstract: Though it is reasonably well established that Ki-67 positivity is an independent predictor of ultimate prognosis and course of carcinoma breast and its recurrence, many lacunae exist. Ki -67 score correlation with histological grading will establish importance of nuclear antigen Ki-67 as prognostic factor in Indian population. This study was aimed to assess histological grading of breast carcinoma by Nottingham Grading System (Modified Scarff- Bloom- Richardson system) and to correlate …

Evaluating the Role of Arterial Duplex Ultrasound in Diabetic Foot Ulcer Patients with Normal Ankle Brachial Pressure Index and Peripheral Pulses
Abstract: Background: Requesting a arterial duplex scan has been a recent trend in management of diabetic foot ulcer, as it is considered the gold standard modality of investigation for diagnosing peripheral arterial diseases. Nevertheless, increased burden of the diabetic foot ulcer patients and limited availability of the facilities and trained radiologists prompts us to use this investigation judiciously. Most of the studies focus on role of abnormal ABPI as a predictor …

Graph Neural Networks for Molecular Scale Property Prediction and Inverse Design of Thermoset Polymer Nanocomposites: A Computational Framework
Abstract: Thermoset polymer nanocomposites exhibit properties that are highly sensitive to molecular scale formulation decisions, yet the vast design space remains largely unexplored because of the high cost of experimental characterisation and fully atomistic simulation. This paper presents TNC GNN, a dual mode graph neural network framework developed for the computational design of thermoset nanocomposite formulations. The forward module employs an attention augmented Message Passing Neural Network with 3D geometric encoding …

Human–Nature Relationships and Sustainable Development: Insights from Environmental Studies
Abstract: The accelerating environmental crisis highlights the need to re-examine the fundamental relationship between humans and nature. Conventional development models often promote a utilitarian view of nature, leading to ecological degradation, biodiversity loss, climate change, and unsustainable resource use. The research problem addressed in this study is the inadequate integration of human–nature relationship perspectives within sustainable development frameworks, despite growing recognition that environmental sustainability depends not only on technological innovations and …

A Novel Approach for Confidence Estimation using Support Vector Machines for More Accurate Value Prediction
Abstract: Data dependencies create hurdles in exploiting instruction-level parallelism (ILP) among instructions. To overcome them, data value predictors are used which guess instructions’ result before it is actually executed. Thus, future instructions which depend on the outcome of that instruction executes sooner. But, since value prediction accuracy is very crucial in determining the amount of parallelism that can be exploited, confidence estimation is used along with it to lessen the value …
