Neuware -Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) is an important intervention and entry point in the prevention, control and management of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV. But, the documentation process of VCT logbooks and dataset has given little attention on the identification of the VCT user¿s patterns and the outcome of the test results in Ethiopia. So, assessment of patterns in VCT outcomes using classification and association techniques of data mining is important for proper intervention. Based on the result of this study, physical status, reason to test, marital status, history of STIs,age and sex of the VCT clients are the optimal classifiers of HIV test result. From the association rules, females are more exposed for HIV infection and there is high HIV prevalence in 25-29 years age groups. Sothat data mining can apply to identify interesting patterns that help HIV and AIDS prevention and affected people care and support program. Thus, HIV care and support as well as prevention activities shall focus on attributes that are optimal and have high support and confidence with positive result and prevention activities shall focus on attributes associated with negative test results.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterised by recurrent, unprovoked seizures. It is the most common neurological disorder in sub-Saharan Africa. It has been found that people in developing countries have low levels of access to quality healthcare and appropriate medication. Moreover, these people may seek several kinds of alternative treatments before using conventional medication. A cross sectional study was undertaken, aiming at exploring the perceptions and treatment seeking behaviour of people with epilepsy and their caregivers with regard to treatment of epilepsy by alternative and/or conventional methods. In this study 75 people were interviewed (39 people with epilepsy, and 36 caregivers) during Epilepsy clinics at Chainama Hills Hospital and University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka, using a semi-structured questionnaire. Results of the study revealed that majority of the participants do seek alternative treatment for several years before resorting to conventional medication. The study also demonstrated that knowledge on Epilepsy as an illness still has misguided perceptions concerning its aetiology and classification.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The uncontrolled and unrestricted use of antimicrobials may lead to the accumulation of undesirable drug residues in the treated animals and their products. In the poultry industry of many developing countries such as Kenya there is lack of affordable, easy to perform antibiotic residues screening methods. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of Bacillus cereus and Bacillus subtilis as test organisms for assay of tetracycline and beta-lactam antibiotics in chicken meat. Microbiological detection was achieved by agar well diffusion. Results showed that oxytetracycline (OTC) and penicillin G (PEN G) were reliably detected below the maximum residue limits (MRLs), of 50ng/g in both liver and kidney for PEN G and 600ng/g in liver and 1200ng/g in kidney for OTC, by the two bacterial species. B. cereus and B. subtilis can therefore be used effectively for routine screening for residues of PEN G and OTC in chicken kidney and liver tissues. The screening test is technically simple and can be carried out in most laboratories in both the developed and developing countries.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -As our dependency on communication increases so is the demand for protecting these communication lines. To provide failure-safe connections in optical net- works, lightpaths can be protected. Protected lightpaths consist of a primary path and a backup path which are disjoint and ensure connection continuity in case of a single link failure. Optical networks consist of at least two layers, the optical layer and the physical layer. And although the primary and backup paths are disjoint in the optical layer, in the physical layer they may share the same fiber span or duct. These links are in the same Shared Risk Link Group (SRLG). If one link of a SRLG fails then all fail. Because of this, a single fail- ure at the physical layer can causes multiple failures at the optical layer and protected paths could get disconnected if both paths have fibers in the broken fiber span. This work proposes an exact algorithm which finds the shortest SRLG-disjoint protected path in a network through an iterative approach.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Oral Cavity cancer is the 10th most common malignancy globally. EGFR is a glycoprotein encoded by a gene located on chromosome 7p12. Stimulation of EGFR will activate an intracellular signalling pathway, leading to the inhibition of apoptosis, activation of cell proliferation and angiogenesis, as well as an increase in metastatic spread potential. In premalignant lesions EGFR can be considered as an early marker of a cell proliferation on cell differentiation as well as early marker of epithelial dysplasia and onset of cancer in oral premaligant lesions. Hence cancers of oral cavity can be prevented and progress of carcinogenisis may be stopped at a early stage. EGFR evaluation can be used as a Screening tool in premalignant lesions to determine its malignant potential. In Malignant it has been seen that there is better response to treatment when EGFR Inhibitor Gefitinib was combined to the standard regimen of CCRT in Locally advanced Oral cavity malignant lesions.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -The seventeenth century is important for the Dutch for many reasons. This century is considered as the golden age of economic affluence. During this period the Dutch achieved considerable success in maritime trade. This was also the century when many Dutch people made their journey overseas, especially to Asia as Company (VOC) soldiers, sailors, merchants, serviceman and missionary. This stimulated the interaction between the Dutch and the Asians in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. During their stays in Asia they engaged with the local society, culture, customs, and religion and so on. Through their interaction with local society they earned considerable knowledge of Asiatic regions. Upon their return home they began to publish their experiences on Asia. The book studies a specific seventeenth-century Dutch travel account titled Vervarelyke schip-breuk van¿T Oost-Indisch Jacht Ter Schelling written by a Dutch sailor Frans Jansz. van der Heiden. The book demonstrates that the seventeenth-century Dutch travel literature produced the bulk of knowledge on Asia, which can be used for reconstructing early modern history of Asia.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -A bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is among the most common crops grown for food security in Uganda and the entire world. Despite this significant role played by the beans in people¿s diet and economy, the beans can not be stored for long after harvest due to damage by storage pests. As such, beans cannot be available through out the year. It is envisaged that if these pests were controlled, the beans would be available for use as food through out the year. Also farmers would store them for long after harvest thus attracting good prices for their produce. The bean bruchid (Acanthoscelides obtectus Say) is one of the major storage pests that disturb beans in store and cause big and considerable losses. This research was aimed at finding out the most effective biorational that farmers can use to avoid the bruchids in the stored beans and more over biorationals are locally available, cheap and environmentally friendly. In this study biorationals (Tephrosia vogelii, Tagetes minuta, and cow dung ash) tested against Malathion 2% dust with the aim of determining their efficacy on bean bruchids.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.
