Objectives Recent publications suggest that fishing populations may be highly affected by the HIV epidemic. However, accurate data are scarce. The authors determined and syphilis prevalence associated risk factors in a population of Lake Victoria Uganda. Methods 10 188 volunteers aged ≥13 years from census carried out five communities between February August 2009 were invited to attend central study clinics established each community. After informed consent, 2005 randomly selected responded...

Covid-19 considered as a pandemic disease and spread very rapidly, the people are needed to respond this danger situation without becoming complacent because still there is no vaccine for it. The sample of cross - sectional descriptive study was consisted 1250 Kurdish male female, their ages ranged between 14- 76 years. main objective conducted assess people’s knowledge, attitude, practice (KAP study) toward COVID-19. data were collected during period April 4 up June 2020. A self-...
Background: HIV rapid tests (RT) are a quick and non-technically demanding means to perform voluntary counselling testing (VCT) but understanding their limitations is vital delivering quality VCT. Objective: To determine the sensitivity specificity of used for research at four sites in East Africa. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Masaka District, Uganda; sugar plantation Kakira, Coastal Villages Kilifi District Kenya; Urban slum Kangemi located West Nairobi, Kenya. Subjects: Six...
Background Anti-retroviral therapy (ART) regimes for HIV are associated with raised levels of circulating triglycerides (TGs) in western populations. However, there limited data on the impact ART cardiometabolic risk sub-Saharan African (SSA) Methods Pooled analyses 14 studies comprising 21 023 individuals, whom relevant factors (including TG), and status were assessed between 2003 2014, SSA. The association TG (>2.3 mmol/L) was analysed using regression models. Findings Among 10 615 a...
Background: Health-promotion is universally accepted as the effective method for modifying behavior of individuals towards ideal health.Thus, present cross-sectional predictive study determined predictors health-promoting behaviors among Kurdish Healthcare Providers in Iraqi Kurdistan.Methods: Demographic data were collected from a sample 460 healthcare providers instead standard questionnaire lifestyle profile-II.These analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and frequency) well...
The fractures geometrical characteristics can be calculated by various sampling methods in 1 dimension (1D) & 2 dimensions (2D).The Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) simulation results show some of the equations are suitable for calculation mean trace length and difference between actual value their values is less than 15%.Apparent density dependent on scale, but Mauldon's estimators independent scale despite variation fracture length.For all joint sets, apparent areal intensity samplings...

Abstract Several recovery processes have been proposed for heavy oil and sand reservoirs, depending on the reservoir fluid properties. Among these, steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is widely used, surface mining considered best approach in very shallow depths. However, deposits exist that are too SAGD but deep mining, requiring special techniques to recover hydrocarbon economically. In addition, significant reserves left behind as stranded reserves, well usually characterized with weak...

This study was designed to evaluate the association of COVID-19 quarantine with mental health outcomes in Kurdistan region Iraq according key measures this study. We conducted a matched case–control within cohort all quarantined persons from February 22 through March 31, 2020 (n=300) Iraq. Participants were on gender, age, marital status, and education level. Mental measured by General Health Questioner (GHQ-28), Impact event scale – revised (IES-R), Fear COVID-19(FC-19S) using an online...
In this paper a new systematic method to derive the equation of motion n-rigid robotic manipulators with revolute joints is considered. The for system obtained based on Kane formulation. Based developed formulation, an algorithm proposed that recursively and systematically derives motion. Finally, computational simulation manipulator three presented show ability in deriving solving high degree freedom systems.
