Postnatal Factors

Background: The postpartum period is a time of tremendous emotional and physical change for most women as they adapt to new roles and alteration in their physiology. Postpartum depression has seen its rise lately. Multiple factors might be responsible for causation. Symptoms include depression, tearfulness, emotional liability, guilt, anorexia, sleep disorders, feeling inadequate, detachment from the baby, poor concentration, forgetfulness, fatigue, and irritability.Methods: We have conducted a study in 225 postpartum females and assessed them for depression and associated postnatal depression. The 10-question Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was used for assessing depression.Results: Depression was evaluated as 6%. It was also found that 2% mothers with IUD babies developed postnatal depression. 1.33% cases with babies having congenital anomaly developed postnatal depression. 1.33% cases with babies having nursery admission developed postnatal depression.  This has been correlated with many other studies.Conclusions: It is found that perinatal factors do affect postnatal depression as it is found in mothers who have an adverse perinatal outcome. Further research is implicated in this field.

Physical Changes

This article reports on the types of views and misconceptions uncovered after assessing 155 freshman general chemistry students on the concept of particle position during the reversible physical change of melting, using the Melting Cycle Instrument, which illustrates particulate-level representations of a melting–freezing cycle. Animations involving particulate-level representations of phase changes including melting and freezing were viewed and discussed, and the students were assessed a second time, on the concept of particle position during the reversible physical change of dissolving, using the Dissolving Cycle Instrument, which illustrates particulate-level representations of a dissolving-solvent evaporation cycle. Overall, the results of the assessments showed that some misconceptions did remain after viewing and discussing the animations, and that the use of the animations had no effect on the students' views on the movement of particles within the liquid.

Overall Effectiveness

The suitability of the humidity chambers known as Evaporative Cooling System (ECS) developed by Nigerian Stored Products Research Institute as storage structures for mangoes were compared for nine days between June-July 2012. Ambient and ECS Temperature throughout the storage period ranges between 27?C- 31?C and 20?C-27?C respectively, while the corresponding relative humidity was 51%-58% and 70%-81% respectively. Colour change and Weight loss were observed as a physical change to determine effect of each selected ECS on the stored mangoes. There is significant range of ripening in tin-in-pot which led to early deterioration of the stored mangoes. Pot in-pot affects the freshness of the stored mangoes. The overall effectiveness of the tested ECS shows that tin-in-pot is better for the storage of mangoes since for five days, it retains the freshness of the stored mangoes but cannot be used for long due to its natural reaction with the stored fruits.

Increasing Demand

Sri Lanka, under the British from the early 19th century to 1948, saw a rapid growth in urban areas and the emergence of metropolitan bourgeoisie. Increasing demand for housing was met through housing schemes and private houses on smaller plots. Previous colonials, the Portuguese and the Dutch, adapted and continued the traditional house forms where outdoor transitional spaces such as verandas and courtyards remained as an integral part responding to climate and socio-cultural needs. However, the British period saw the advent of two noteworthy types of housing—a smaller re-adapted traditional house and an imported version of an all-enclosed house. This study evaluates the shift in socio-spatial role of the outdoor transitional spaces of single-unit houses from pre-colonial time up to independence using graphical analysis of the plan form combined with interviews on use of space.

Abstract The present work brings information on threats to the subterranean fishes in Brazil. Currently, at least 36 species are known, 22 of which are already formally described. Endemism is the rule for most of them. Regarding their conservation, these fishes are in general considered threatened: and most of the already formally described species are included in national lists of threatened fauna, and only four of them are included in the global list of the IUCN. Regarding habitats, Brazilian subterranean fishes occur in alluvial sediments (part of the hyporheic zone), shallow base-level streams, flooded caves, lakes in the water table, upper vadose tributaries, and epikarst aquifers. We detected 11 main threats, mainly related to agriculture, pasture, and hydroelectric plans, but unmanaged tourism and pollution are also significant threats. Two threats affect a high number of species (physical change of the habitat and food restriction). The river basins with the higher number of identified threats are the upper Tocantins (eight) followed by the upper Paraguaçu (six). Effective proposals to protect this neglected component of the Brazilian biodiversity are still scarce, such as monitoring projects and their function in the subterranean communities, besides education projects aiming to develop public awareness.

The paper discusses strength-time relation of unfired soil-lime bricks in presence of different water content of soil as one of principal materials for the brick making. Two batches of soil-lime bricks were made with a mixture of lime, soil and water with a mass proportion of 1: 5.7: 1. Water contents of the first and second batch of soil are 30% and 40.581% respectively. Both batches of brick underwent compression and three point bending test. Absorption and physical change of bricks were also evaluated. Experimental investigation reveals that for both batches of bricks, up to 90 days compressive strength decreases a little but modulus of rupture rapidly decreases with time. The study shows that unfired soil-lime bricks with lower soil water content resulted in better strength performances compared to those with higher soil water content.
