Повний текст джерелаIn the United States the high rate of adolescent pregnancy is a cause for a concern. Previous research indicates that infants born to adolescent parents have negative social outcomes and are prone to repeat the cycle. For this reason, it is necessary and important to lower the adolescent pregnancy rates. The study examines factors that influence adolescent pregnancy and respondents' age when the first child was born (i.e., teenage pregnancy), consumption of alcohol, and sexually transmitted disease (STD) testing. The 2005 CHIS adult data set was used for the analysis; the sample used included only women less than 20 years of age at the time of interview (N = 390). There were no statistically significant findings, probably due to the small sample size.

Повний текст джерела[Objectives] Currently, HIV prevention strategies focus on promoting the modification of those individual behaviours that lead to an increase in susceptibility to and transmission of HIV infection. The focus on individuals in HIV voluntary counselling and testing frequently overlooks the fact that communication and collaboration between the sexual partners is required to effect any behavioural change within an intimate partnership. Developing HIV prevention strategies targeting couples is therefore noted to be increasingly relevant for improving HIV/STI risk reduction uptake. Couple HIV counselling and testing (CHCT) is a strategy that aims to bridge this gap by providing a safe environment for partners to be tested and counselled together. In this way, the burden of disclosing one's HIV status to one's partner is eliminated, and the difficulties experienced by the tested individual in negotiating risk reduction uptake are significantly reduced. There is a paucity of data regarding couples' experiences in and perceptions of CHCT within the South African setting. This study explores couples' experiences before, during and after CHCT; determines the socio-behavioural risk factors for HIV status in couples; explores the impact of couple HIV status on fertility desires, and lastly examines the reliability of inter-partner reports on sexual and other behaviours. [Methods] This was a cross-sectional study with baseline and follow-up components; in addition to a qualitative study component. Structured interviewer-administered questionnaires were applied to each member of the couple separately at baseline prior to CHCT (n=600 couples), immediately post CHCT, and at least 1 month post the CHCT process (n= 258 couples). In addition, in-depth qualitative interviews were done with each member of 27 couples at least one month post CHCT. [Results] Overall, the HIV prevalence in the study sample was 30% (24% in male and 35% in the female participants). Of the 600 couples tested for HIV, 354 (59%) were HIV concordant negative, 136 (23%) were HIV serodiscordant and 110 (18%) were HIV concordant positive. Of the HIV serodiscordant, 101(74%) were couples in which the female was the HIV positive partner and 35 (26%) had HIV positive males. Contextual factors such as community perceptions and levels of HIV-related stigma significantly influenced the couples' decision to test for HIV. Couples reported improved risk reduction uptake and improved communication as well as general improvements in other aspects of their lives at follow-up post the CHCT process. Factors such as community and family expectations as well as financial stability seemed to play a more influential role as determinants of fertility desire, compared to the couple HIV status. Comparison of couples' responses to some questions regarding sexual and other behaviours revealed that there was low inter-partner agreement particularly with respect to questions regarding communication behaviours. Key findings indicate that CHCT was acceptable to the couples who attended this process, and yet, making the decision to test was difficult for most couples. Partners devised various strategies to initiate the discussion on the need to test for HIV. However, after CHCT attendance, the process was highly rated, regardless of gender or resultant HIV status. [Conclusion] In order to increase the usefulness and effectiveness of CHCT, the process must be able to address pertinent uncertainties and concerns that couples might have with regard to HIV risk-reduction uptake and fertility desires.

Повний текст джерелаLa presente tesis doctoral se centra en el estudio de los factores de riesgo y el uso de la vitamina D como estrategia de prevención de la diabetes mellitus gestacional (DMG) en una población de alto riesgo participantes en el estudio DALI (Intervención de estilo de vida y vitamina D para la prevención de DMG) En el primer artículo, se describe el ensayo controlado aleatorizado DALI de vitamina D para la prevención de DMG. El ensayo controlado aleatorizado DALI evaluó la suplementación de vitamina D con 1600 UI/día, (+/- intervención combinada de estilo de vida), en una población de alto riesgo de DMG, desde <20 semanas de gestación hasta el parto. Los resultados primarios fueron las medidas subrogadas de DMG: glucemia plasmática en ayunas (GPA), HOMA-IR y aumento de peso intragestación. Hubo una pequeña mejoría en la GPA (-0,14 mmol/l; IC 95%: -0,28, -0,00) a las 35-37 semanas de gestación, pero no se observó mejora en ningún resultado primario a las 24-28 semanas. Un análisis post hoc identificó como variables independientes para la suficiencia de vitamina D: la etnia europea (OR 19,84, CI95 5,87-67,08), la estación del año de la extracción (OR verano vs. primavera 17,0, IC 95 1,84-157,5, ns para otras estaciones) y la toma de vitaminas (OR 11,1, IC 95 3,01-41,2). En el segundo artículo se describen los factores de riesgo de hiperglucemia gestacional (HG) en la población DALI, en diferentes periodos de la gestación y puntos de la sobrecarga oral de glucosa (SOG). Realizamos un sub-análisis observacional del estudio DALI, que incluyó a 971 mujeres, que se sometieron a una SOG a las <20, 24-28 y 35-37 semanas (criterios IADPSG/WHO2013). Una regresión logística multivariante seleccionó variables independientes (incluyendo características basales maternas y de la gestación actual) para HG. Las características clínicas asociadas de forma independiente con HG fueron: <20 semanas, intolerancia a la glucosa previa (odds ratio (OR): 3,11; IC 95%: 1,41-6,85), DMG previa (OR: 2,22; IC 95%: 1,20-4,11), circunferencia cervical (CC) (OR: 1,58; IC 95%: 1,06–2,36 para el tercil superior), frecuencia cardíaca en reposo (FCR, OR: 1,99; IC 95%: 1,31–3,00 para el tercil superior) y centro de reclutamiento; a las 24-28 semanas, mortinato previo (OR: 2,92; IC 95%: 1,18-7,22), FCR (OR: 3,32; IC 95%: 1,70-6,49 para el tercil superior) y centro de reclutamiento; a las 35-37 semanas, talla materna (OR: 0,41; IC 95%: 0,20-0,87 para el tercil superior). Las características clínicas asociadas de forma independiente con DMG/diabetes franca, diferían según el punto de tiempo de la SOG (por ejemplo, la CC se asoció con glucosa alterada en ayunas a <20 semanas, mientras que la FCR se asoció con la glucosa postsobrecarga a <20 semanas). En conclusión, en mujeres con sobrepeso / obesidad participantes en el estudio DALI, la suplementación con vitamina D no mejoró sustancialmente las medidas subrogadas de DMG definidas como resultados primarios (GPA, HOMA-IR, aumento de peso intragestación). Las concentraciones promedio de vitamina D al inicio del estudio fueron más altas de lo esperado y los principales predictores de la suficiencia de vitamina D fueron la etnia europea y la ingesta de multivitaminas. En esta población, los factores de riesgo de HG diferían según el período de la gestación y el punto de la SOG, y podrían ayudar a definir los criterios para la detección selectiva o los participantes de ensayos de prevención.
The present doctoral thesis focuses on the study of risk factors and the use of vitamin D as a prevention strategy for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in a high-risk population (pregnant overweight/obese women) enrolled in the DALI (Vitamin D And Lifestyle Intervention for GDM prevention) study. In the first article, the DALI vitamin D randomized controlled trial for GDM prevention is reported. The DALI vitamin D randomized controlled trial for GDM prevention tested vitamin D supplementation with 1600 IU/day, with or without combined lifestyle intervention in a high-risk population for GDM, starting at <20 weeks’ gestation until delivery. The primary study outcomes were the GDM surrogates, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), HOMA-IR and gestational weight gain (GWG). There was a small improvement in FPG (-0.14 mmol/l; 95%CI -0.28, -0.00) at 35-37 weeks’ gestation, but no improvement in any primary outcome was observed at 24-28 weeks’ gestation, when testing for GDM usually takes place. A post hoc analysis identified as independent variables for vitamin D sufficiency: European ethnicity (OR 19.84, CI95 5.87-67.08), season of measurement (OR summer vs. spring 17.0, CI 95 1.84-157.5, ns for other seasons) and taking vitamins (OR 11.1, CI 95 3.01-41.2). In the second article risk factors for hyperglycemia in pregnancy (HiP) in the DALI population, at different pregnancy periods and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) time points are described. We conducted an observational sub-analysis of the DALI study, including 971 women, who underwent an OGTT at <20, 24–28 and 35–37 weeks (IADPSG/WHO2013 criteria). A multivariate logistic regression selected independent variables (including baseline maternal and current pregnancy characteristics) for HiP. Clinical characteristics independently associated with HiP were: at <20 weeks, previous abnormal glucose tolerance (odds ratio (OR): 3.11; 95%CI: 1.41–6.85), previous GDM (OR: 2.22; 95%CI: 1.20–4.11), neck circumference (NC) (OR: 1.58; 95%CI: 1.06–2.36 for the upper tertile), resting heart rate (RHR, OR: 1.99; 95%CI: 1.31–3.00 for the upper tertile) and recruitment site; at 24–28 weeks, previous stillbirth (OR: 2.92; 95%CI: 1.18-7.22), RHR (OR: 3.32; 95%CI: 1.70-6.49 for the upper tertile) and recruitment site; at 35–37 weeks, maternal height (OR: 0.41; 95%CI: 0.20–0.87 for upper tertile). Clinical characteristics independently associated with GDM/overt diabetes differed by OGTT time point (for example, NC was associated with abnormal fasting glucose at <20 weeks, while RHR was associated with post-challenge glucose at <20 weeks and with both, fasting and post-challenge glucose at 24-28 weeks). In conclusion, in overweight/obese women enrolled in the DALI study, vitamin D supplementation did not substantially improve surrogate GDM measurements defined as primary outcomes (FPG, HOMA-IR, GWG) and did not modify secondary outcomes. Average vitamin D concentrations at baseline were higher than expected and major vitamin D sufficiency predictors were European ethnicity and multivitamin intake. In this population, risk factors for HiP differed by pregnancy period and OGTT time point and could assist in defining criteria for selective screening or participants of prevention trials.

Повний текст джерелаLos humedales construidos son una alternativa al tratamiento convencional de agua residual para pequeños municipios (hasta 2000 hab-eq) ya que son fáciles de operar y mantener y tienen un coste de explotación bajo. El mayor inconveniente a que se enfrentan los explotadores de sistemas de tratamiento con humedales subsuperficiales es la colmatación del lecho. Con el tiempo, la acumulación de sólidos de diversa naturaleza en los espacios intersticiales del medio filtrante, provoca la disminución de la conductividad hidráulica y la porosidad iniciales de la grava. Esto conduce al desarrollo de caminos preferenciales y cortocircuitos en el curso del agua que convergen en la aparición de agua en superficie. A la larga, esto puede comprometer la capacidad depurativa del sistema. Por ello, la colmatación supone el factor limitante de la vida útil de un humedal construido. Las estrategias para solventar la colmatación, una vez se ha producido, son costosas y pasan por realizar inversiones no despreciables. Generalmente la opción más extendida es el cambio del material granular. De ahí la necesidad de medir, de manera fiable, en qué grado un sistema está colmatado, identificar los factores que influyen en el fenómeno e indagar en nuevas configuraciones y estrategias que permitan retrasar el avance de la colmatación y consigo, aplazar las intervenciones necesarias para devolver al sistema un estado óptimo de funcionamiento. Los objetivos de esta tesis doctoral han de contribuir a establecer nuevos criterios de diseño y operación de humedales construidos de flujo subsuperficial horizontal para minimizar, o cuanto menos retrasar, la colmatación de estos sistemas, sin mermar la eficiencia de eliminación de contaminantes del agua residual. Por ello, los objetivos son cuantificar la precisión y exactitud de un método de medición in situ de la conductividad hidráulica, basado en el permeámetro de carga variable, para la determinación del grado de colmatación de un lecho y la distribución horizontal de la misma; estudiar la idoneidad de diferentes indicadores de la colmatación de un humedal de flujo subsuperficial horizontal; evaluar la incidencia de diferentes factores de diseño y operación de humedales de flujo subsuperficial horizontal en el proceso de la colmatación; y caracterizar (en términos de eficiencia de eliminación de contaminantes y de evolución de la colmatación) dos nuevas configuraciones de humedales construidos a escala piloto.
Els aiguamolls construïts són una alternativa al tractament convencional d’aigua residual per a petits municipis (fins 2000 hab-eq) degut, principalment, a la facilitat en llur operació i manteniment y a les reduïdes despeses d’explotació. L’inconvenient més important amb què es troben els explotadors de sistemes de tractament amb aiguamolls subsuperficials és la colmatació del llit. Al llarg del temps, l’acumulació de sòlids de diversa natura en els espais intersticials de la grava, provoca la disminució de la conductivitat hidràulica i la porositat inicials. Això condueix al desenvolupament de camins preferencials i curtcircuits en el curs de l’aigua a través de l’aiguamoll, que convergeixen en l’aparició d’aigua en superfície, i que, a llarg termini pot comprometre la capacitat depurativa del sistema. Per això, la colmatació suposa el factor limitant de la vida útil d’un aiguamoll construït. Les estratègies per a fer front a la colmatació, un cop s’ha produït, passen per realitzar inversions econòmiques gens menyspreables. Generalment, l’opció més extesa és la reposició del material granular. D’aquí neix la necessitat de mesurar, de manera fiable, el grau de colmatació d’un sistema, d’identificar aquells factors que influeixen en el fenomen y qüestionar noves configuracions y estratègies que permetin retardar l’avenç de la colmatació, i per tant ajornar les intervencions necessàries per tornar al sistema a l’estat òptim de funcionament. Per tot això els objectius d’aquesta tesi doctoral han de contribuir a establir nous criteris de disseny i operació d’aiguamolls construïts de flux subsuperficial horitzontal per tal de minimitzar la colmatació d’aquests sistemes, sense minvar l’eficiència d’eliminació de contaminants de l’aigua residual. Els objectius específics són quantificar la precisió i exactitud d’un mètode de mesura in situ de la conductivitat hidràulica, basat en el permeàmetre de càrrega variable, per a la determinació de l’estat de colmatació d’un llit així com la distribució horitzontal d’aquesta; determinar l’indicador més adecuat per avaluar la colmatació d’un aiguamoll construït de flux subsuperficial horitzontal; identificar nous paràmetres de disseny y operación susceptibles de causar o afavorir la colmatación del medi filtrant; i caracteritzar (en termes d’eliminació de contaminants i d’evolució de la colmatación) dues noves configuracions d’aiguamolls construïts a escala pilot.

Thesis, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11838/2490.
Повний текст джерелаCardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of global mortality, of which over 75% occurred in low- and middle-income countries such as South Africa. The lipid profile, specifically decreased levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), elevated triglyceride levels and the presence of small-dense low density lipoprotein (sdLDL) has been reported associated with CVD. An increased number of sdLDL is also common in metabolic syndrome (MetS), visceral obesity and diabetes mellitus, the last a known risk factor for CVD. The modification of low density lipoprotein (LDL) size, or number of sdLDL particles, has been reported to significantly reduce CVD risk, but not conclusively so and needs further investigation. In this regard, sdLDL particles are seldom estimated routinely for clinical use because of financial and other limitations. Currently, an alternative approach for estimating sdLDL is to use equations derived from routine lipid measures, as has been proposed by several groups. However, there is a need for extensive evaluation of this equation across different ethnic and disease groups, especially since reports showed an inadequate performance of the equation in a Korean population. The aim of this study was to assess the performance of a recently proposed equation for the estimation of sdLDL in healthy and diabetic mixed ancestry South Africans. Furthermore, we also investigated the role of sdLDL as a cardiometabolic risk factor, as measured against known risk factors such as the glycemic and lipid profiles.

Повний текст джерелаSubstance use and abuse has been a persistent challenge facing many communities around the world. In more recent times there has been particular focus on the gradual, yet alarming increase in the use and/or abuse of substance use among the students who are currently enrolled in institutions of higher learning. On the strength of such findings, relevant stakeholders and policy makers have since demarcated university students as being one of the most high-risk groups within a society when it comes to substance use and abuse. While substantial research has been done on the issue of alcohol use among adolescents on both a local and global scale, very little is known about the prevalence of substance use among university students in South Africa.
