Emotional Writing In An Hiv+ Population: Assessing Two Scoring Methods Of Emotional/Cognitive Processing And Their Effects On Health Status, Physical Symptoms And Psychological Well-Being., Lindsay M. Bira

Open Access Theses

Objective: The purpose of the present study is to examine whether level of written emotional expression (EE) and emotional/cognitive processing (ECP) for traumatic events predict health status (CD4 and VL), Category B symptoms, depression and anxiety in an HIV+ population over four years. Specifically, two different scoring methods of two variables within ECP (cognitive appraisal and self-esteem) will be compared to see if a change score (SMCHANGE) or a final score (SMFINAL) better predict outcomes. The possible mediating role of ECP in the relationship between EE and outcomes will also be explored. Methods: This longitudinal study assessed 169 HIV+ and …

Modifying Hebbian Network For Text Cipher, Noor Adnan Ibraheem

Baghdad Science Journal

The objective of this work is to design and implement a cryptography system that enables the sender to send message through any channel (even if this channel is insecure) and the receiver to decrypt the received message without allowing any intruder to break the system and extracting the secret information. This work modernize the feedforward neural network, so the secret message will be encrypted by unsupervised neural network method to get the cipher text that can be decrypted using the same network to get the original text. The security of any cipher system depends on the security of the related …

Evaluation The Levels Of Plasma Interleukins (Il-8, Ifn-Γ, Il-10) In Preeclamptic Pregnancies, Suaad A. Brakhas, Amna N Jassim, Abbass M Rahmah

Baghdad Science Journal

This study is to evaluate plasma levels of several cytokines in preeclamptic pregnancies compared to those of healthy pregnancies.Ninety pregnant women with preeclampsia (37 mild & 53 severe) and thirty healthy pregnant women were enrolled in the study. Blood samples were taken and plasma levels of IL-8, IL-10, and IFN-γ were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Preeclamptic women and their severe cases but not mild caseshad significantly(P<0.05)increased levels of plasma IL-8, and IFN-γ as compared with healthy pregnancies. By contrast, plasma levels of IL-10 was significantly (P<0.05) increased in healthy pregnant women as compared to all groups of preeclampsia.Preeclampsia is associated with an imbalance between pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-8, IFN-γ) and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10), and these support oursuggestion of altered immune response in preeclampsia

User Choice Between Traditional And Computerized Methods: An Activity Perspective, Jun Sun

Information Systems Faculty Publications

Numerous computerized methods emerge to replace traditional methods in people’s personal, work and social lives, but many are hesitant to make the transition. This study examines the factors that influence human choice between different methods. According to Activity Theory, traditional and computerized methods are both tools that a person uses for a certain task. The situated experiences with various methods shape people’s attitude toward using them later in terms of tool readiness. The understanding leads to hypothesized relationships between user-, method- and task-specific factors and the dependent variable. The results from an empirical study support that method experiences have strong …

"Visual Vessels", Theresa Ornoff

Theses and Dissertations

In 1989 while our severely ill son lay in our arms my husband and I asked the surgeon what he would do if he were in our shoes. “Play the hand you’re dealt.” he replied. It was not this doctor’s only reference to the gamble life holds for each of us. Based on his advice to us I began to investigate the role that fate and predetermination play in our lives and consequently how much control we have on the outcome of life’s events. A cathartic family portrait piece laid the groundwork for a series of metaphorical portraits as I …

Effect Of Laser Irradiation On The Optical Properties Of Sno2 Films Deposited By Post Oxidation Of Metal Films, Souad G. Khalil, Majida A Ameen, Najwa J. Jubier

Baghdad Science Journal

Tin oxide films (SnO2) of thickness (1 μm) are prepared on glass substrate by post oxidation of metal films technique. Films were irradiated with Nd:YAG double frequency laser of wavelength (532 nm) pulses of three energies (100, 500, 1000) mJ. The optical absorption, transmission, reflectance, refractive index and optical conductivity of these films are investigated in the UV-Vis region (200-900) nm. It was found that the average transmittance of the films is around (80%) at wavelength (550 nm) and showed high transmission (~ 90 %) in the visible and near infrared region. The absorption edge shifts towards higher energies, which …
