Hatshepsut and Tuthmosis III were represented as seemingly equal kings on the side walls of the Second Room of the Main Sanctuary of Amun in the Temple of Hatshepsut in Deir el-Bahari. Iconographic analysis reveals the relationship between the two rulers, demonstrating the different and discreet ways in which Hatshepsut emphasized her dominant position and Tuthmosis’s secondary one during their co-rule. The quality of the representations is just as crucial as their number for understanding their relationship. Hatshepsut used among others the symbolism of the cardinal points, orientation of figures and the hierarchy of attributes to emphasize the difference in their positions. The four scenes in question are the most representative examples of these fixed rules in the Deir el-Bahari temple.

Background. Patients (pts) diagnosed with congestive heart failure (HF) have been reported to have more frequent depression and worsened health related quality of life (HRQOL). Although depression is more common in women than men in this condition, the impact of HF on depression and HRQOL in men versus women is unclear. We sought to examine the relationship between pt sex, HF diagnosis, and pt-perceived depression and HRQOL. Methods. Depression (PHQ-9) and HRQOL (EQ5D) data were collected using tablet computers from pts presenting for routine outpatient cardiovascular assessment at our institution between November, 2010 and December, 2011. Demographic, clinical, and historical data was collected as per routine. We examined the association of pt sex and clinical diagnosis of HF with instrument results after adjusting for potential confounding information using mutliple linear regression. Results. Of 3046 pts (age 61±15), 39% were female and 8.7% were diagnosed with HF. Overall, PHQ-9 was greater, and minor or major depression (PHQ-9≥10) was more frequent, in women than men (4.6±4.6 vs. 3.3±4.4; 14.0% vs. 8.9%, both p<0.05) and in HF pts than pts without HF (5.9±5.6 vs. 3.6±4.3, 22.0% versus 9.6%; both p<0.05). Similarly, HRQOL was worse in women than men (EQ-5D 0.80±0.18 vs. 0.87±0.16; p<0.01) and in HF pts than no HF (EQ-5D 0.76±0.18 vs. 0.85±0.17; p<0.01). However, the difference in PHQ-9 between pts with versus without HF was greater in men (6.23±6.06 vs. 3.02±4.06, p<0.01) than women (5.43±4.85 vs. 4.55±4.58, p=0.09). After adjusting for cardiovascular diagnoses, comorbidities, clinical and demographic data, multivariable modeling of PHQ-9 revealed a significant interaction between pt sex and HF diagnosis (p=0.001; see Figure) such that women had greater PHQ-9 scores compared to men without HF, but in the setting of HF, mens' PHQ-9 scores were greater. Modeling of EQ-5D also revealed that after risk-adjustment an interaction between HF diagnosis and sex was present with a similar pattern of findings. Conclusion. Although depression is more frequent and severe in women compared to men, and in pts with versus without HF, HF appears to impact depression severity more in men compared to women.

As the information reflection of social economy, the quality of accounting information is closely related to economic development and market operation system. And accounting conservatism is one of the important standards to measure of quality of accounting information. As the maker and executor of the financial strategy of the listed company, the CFO’s different personal characteristics will affect its choice of different accounting policies, thus affecting the accounting conservatism of the enterprise. Therefore, this paper selects CFOs of A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2016 to 2018 as research objects, respectively discusses the influence of CFO’s natural attributes and social attributes on accounting conservatism, and analyzes the moderating effect of property rights and CFO’s power on the relationship between them. The results show that the CFO’s age, tenure, education, professional skills, salary and number of part-time jobs are negatively correlated with accounting conservatism. The female CFO, shareholding and concurrent director are significantly positively correlated with accounting conservatism. The difference of property right nature and CFO power moderates the relationship between CFO characteristics and accounting conservatism to some extent. On this basis, this paper puts forward corresponding suggestions on how to improve accounting conservatism and promote economic development.

Background: Little is known about the relationship between the opinions of inpatients and the degree to which hospitals are improving in performance over time. The aim of this study was to determine the personal assessment level of inpatients or their representatives regarding aspects of health care in an internal medicine ward.Methods: We carried out a questionnaire in September 2011 with 284 discharged patients and patient representatives, focusing on their opinions about the department, health professionals and amenities, with response options ranging from 1 (very bad) to 5 (very good). The relationships between domains from the questionnaire and socio-demographic factors were examined using a t-test and one-way ANOVA.Results: The response rate was 78%. The patients showed a slightly higher mean score (m) for factors in the medical care domain than did the patient representatives (m = 4.51 vs. m = 4.27; p = 0.014). The mean score of all the items in all domains was 4.24; this allowed us to determine the difference from the overall mean (DIFM) for medical care (DIFM = 0.18; p = 0.000), foods (DIFM = –0.31; p = 0.000), diagnostic tests (DIFM = –0.15; p = 0.036) and transport (DIFM = –0.41; p = 0.000). Respondents with a medium or higher educational level gave lower scores to the domains food (m = 3.74; p = 0.004), diagnostic tests (m = 3.72; p = 0.04) and transport (m = 3.62; p = 0.025) than those with lower educational levels. The domains facilities (m = 2.4; p = 0.04) and diagnostic tests (m = 3.63; p = 0.009) were given lower scores by those aged <50 years compared with older respondents.Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the evaluation of the responders will allow the hospital management to make improvements in the quality of care.

Embedding Rate

The least-significant-bit based approach is a popular type of stenographic algorithms in the spatial domain. However, we find that in most existing approaches, the choice of embedding positions within a cover audio mainly depends on a pseudorandom number generator without considering the relationship between the audio content itself and the size of the secret message. In this paper, we expand the least significant bit matching revisited audio stegnography and propose an edge adaptive scheme which can select the embedding regions according to the size of secret message and the difference between two consecutive pixels in the cover audio. For lower embedding rates, only sharper edge regions are used while keeping the other smoother regions as they are. When the embedding rate increases, more edge regions can be released adaptively for data hiding by adjusting just a few parameters. New scheme can enhance the security significantly compared with typical least significant bit-based approaches as well as their edge adaptive ones, such as pixel-value-differencing-based approaches, while preserving higher visual quality of stegno audios at the same time.

This study was conducted to determine the relationship between problems regarding mothers’ own care in the postpartum period and baby care, and quality of life. Sample size of the study conducted in descriptive type was found to be 176. Mothers consulting Family Health Centers (FHC) in the 4-6 weeks postpartum were taken in the sample group in the province of Konya.To collect data, a 21-item questionnaire formed by the researcher and Maternal Postpartum Quality of Life Questionnaire (MAPP-QOL) were used. The mean scale of the mothers’ (MAPP-QOL) was lower among those who experienced trouble bathing, among those who experienced trouble nourishing, among those who experienced trouble dealing with emotionality, among those who experienced trouble in the care of the perineum, among those who experienced trouble in breast care, among those who experienced trouble breastfeeding, and among those who experienced trouble in the care of other children than the ones who did not experience any trouble. The difference between mothers’ having trouble or not in their own self-care in the postpartum period and MAPP-QOL mean scores was found statistically significant (p<0.05).MAPP-QOL mean scores of mothers was determined lower among those who experienced trouble in their baby’s sucking, among those who experienced trouble in their baby’s sleeping, among those who experienced trouble in their baby’s among those who experienced trouble in their baby’s umbilical cord care, among those who experienced trouble in their baby’s gas pain, among those who experienced trouble in their baby’s skin care and dressing, among those who experienced trouble in their baby’s following of the vaccination than among those who did not experience trouble. The difference between mothers’ having trouble or not in baby care in the postpartum period and MAPP-QOL mean scores was found statistically significant (p<0.05). It was seen that the quality of life score of mothers not experiencing trouble in baby care was higher.It was indicated that mothers encountered many troubles in their own care and infant care in the postpartum period, and so those troubles experienced affected adversely the  quality of life of mothers in the postpartum period. When nursing care for the prevention of these factors includes appropriate support and training, both mother and baby’s health is protected and developed and compliance with the process of mother is facilitated, and it will raise the quality of life of mother in the postpartum period. ÖzetBu çalışma doğum sonu dönemdeki annelerin kendi bakımları ve bebek bakımına yönelik yaşanan sorunlar ve yaşam kalitesi ile ilişkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Tanımlayıcı türde yapılan çalışmanın örnek büyüklüğü belirlenerek 176 olarak bulunmuştur. Konya il merkezinde Aile Sağlık Merkezlerine (ASM) başvuran doğum sonu 4-6 haftalarında olan anneler örneklem grubuna alınmıştır.Verilerin toplanmasında araştırmacı tarafından oluşturulan 21 soruluk anket formu ve Doğum Sonu Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği kullanılmıştır (DSYKÖ). Annelerin DSYKÖ puan ortalamasının, banyo yapmada sorun yaşayanlarda, beslenmede sorun yaşayanlarda, duygusal baş etmede sorun yaşayanlarda, perine bakımında sorun yaşayanlarda, meme bakımında sorun yaşayanlarda, emzirme sorunu yaşayanlarda ve diğer çocukların bakımında sorun yaşayanlarda düşük olduğu, sorun yaşamayanlarda yüksek olduğunu saptanmıştır. Annelerin doğum sonu dönemde kendi öz bakımlarında sorun yaşayıp yaşamaması ile DSYKÖ puan ortalamaları arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur (p<0,05).Annelerin DSYKÖ puan ortalamalarının, bebeğinde emme sorunu yaşayanlarda, bebeğinde uyku sorunu yaşayanlarda, bebeğin göbek bakımında sorun yaşayanlarda, bebeğinde gaz sancısı sorunu yaşayanlarda, bebeğin cilt bakımı ve giydirilmesinde sorun yaşayanlarda, bebeğinin aşılarının takibinde sorun yaşayanlarda, sorun yaşamayanlara göre daha düşük olduğu saptanmıştır. Annelerin doğum sonu dönemde bebek bakımında sorun yaşayıp yaşamaması ile DSYKÖ puan ortalamaları arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Bebek bakımında sorun yaşamayan annelerin yaşam kalitesi puanının daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür.Doğum sonu dönemdeki annelerin kendi bakımları ve bebek bakımında birçok sorunla karşılaştıkları, yaşanan bu sorunların annelerin doğum sonu yaşam kalitesini olumsuz etkilediği belirlenmiştir. Bu faktörlerin önlenmesine yönelik hemşirelik yaklaşımının; uygun destek ve eğitimi içermesi, hem anne, bebek sağlığı korunup geliştirilmesi hem de annenin doğum sonu sürece uyumunu kolaylaştıracak ve doğum sonu yaşam kalitesini yükseltecektir.

  Abstract This leukodepleted PRC (PRC-LD) is considered capable of preventing reactions related to blood transfusions because it contains only a small number of leukocytes. The blood component of PRC-LD has also been shown to prevent or reduce transfusion reactions. Leukodepleted is a procedure to reduce the number of leukocytes in the blood or blood components to be transfused to a minimum of <1x106 leukocytes/unit (European standard) or reduce the number of leukocytes >99%. The purpose of this study was to see the difference in leukocyte values ​​in the PRC and PRC-LD components. The method used is analytic, namely research that aims to determine the relationship between variables within the scope of the laboratory. The method used is a comparative study. This study used 30 samples of PRC products and 30 samples of Leucodepleted PRC products at UTD PMI Surabaya City with 450 cc bags. The study was conducted in October - December 2019. The result was that the leukocyte value in the PRC blood component contained blood quality that did not meet the specifications as many as 30 bags (100%) had leukocyte levels >1x106 per bag. Meanwhile, the blood component of PRC-LD contains blood quality that meets the specifications as many as 30 bags (100%), having leukocyte levels <1x106 per bag. Conclusion The quality of PRC Leukodepleted blood component products, the quality of leukocyte levels that meet the specifications, there are 30 blood bags (100%).

Gait difficulties and falls are commonly reported in people with Parkinson disease (PD). Reduction in gait speed is a major characteristic of Parkinsonian gait, yet little is known about its underlying determinants, its ability to reflect an internal reservation about walking, or its relationship to falls. To study these issues, we selected age, disease severity, and nonmotor factors (i.e., depression, quality of life, balance confidence, and exercise beliefs and attitudes) to predict self-selected (SELF), fast-as-possible (FAST), and the difference (DIFF) between these walking speeds in 78 individuals with PD. We also examined gender differences in gait speeds and evaluated how gait speeds were related to a retrospective fall report. Age, disease severity, and balance confidence were strong predictors of SELF, FAST, and, to a lesser extent, DIFF. All three parameters were strongly associated with falling. DIFF was significantly greater in men compared to women and was significantly associated with male but not female fallers. The results supported the clinical utility of using a suite of gait speed parameters to provide insight into the gait difficulties and differentiating between fallers in people with PD.
