Don't Just SAY It Matters'' is an ongoing three-phase program that addresses ethnicity-based health inequalities in New Zealand. It aims to increase cervical screening among New Zealand's Maori (indigenous Polynesian) and Pacific women by creating an understanding of the importance of screening and enhancing the service to support uptake. Funded by the New Zealand National Screening Unit, the program was launched in September 2007 and is ongoing until 2013. Phase One aimed to start conversations about cervical screening, Phase Two aimed to motivate women to be screened, and Phase Three has built on this work with the introduction of further interventions. By April 2010, screening coverage was Pacific women - 60.90%, a relative increase of 31.25%; Maori women - 55.40%, a relative increase of 16.63%; and all women - 76.10% a relative increase of 7.94% (National Screening Unit, 2010; absolute change is defined as the difference from a previous value to a new value).

J Nazir, M; Rajatheva, N; Latva-aho, M Nazir, Mohsin; Rajatheva, Nandana; Latva-aho, Matti Bandwidth Resource Competition in Cooperative Cognitive Wireless Communications INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF WIRELESS INFORMATION NETWORKS English Article Cooperative communication; Cognitive radio; Resource competition LAW In this paper, we analyze the behavior of Cooperative Cognitive Wireless nodes for the bandwidth resource competition using the ecological models of mutualism. We transform our cooperative cognitive wireless communication (CCWC) system as mutually interacting species. The two types of species are primary and secondary users. The Primary users have under-utilized licensed bandwidth to be shared with the secondary users. On the other hand, secondary users are willing to behave as possible relays for cognitive primary users, in exchange of shared licensed bandwidth. So, instead of pricing model, the proposed system is analyzed with the traditional barter system (exchange of commodities). We analyzed our proposed system based on three ecological models. Our first model is based on the coalitional form of Lotka-Volterra equations, where predator-prey role of mobile nodes are replaced with cooperation as in symbiosis. The second model deals with the population dynamism of strategically interacting partner for conflicting bandwidth resource. The third model adds the dynamism for the varying amount of bandwidth to be shared among the individual mobile users. For each type, a mathematical model is derived and then simulated for the equilibrium position analysis. The obtained results show that sharing of bandwidth resource is essential for the existence of CCWC systems.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of diastolic dysfunction in a cohort of elderly patients referred to an echocardiographic examination for routine clinical indications and to compare the findings obtained by conventional Doppler with those obtained by TDI. Methods: A total of 457 elderly patients with preserved left ventricular (LV) systolic function (mean age 73 +/- 5 years, 45% men, 76% with hypertension) underwent a comprehensive echo-Doppler examination; diastolic dysfunction was defined by the following conventional and TDI criteria: E/A ratio (ratio between transmitral peak velocity of E andAwaves) <0.7 or >1.5 and lateral annular early diastolic peak velocity (Ei) < 8 cm/sec, respectively. Results: Diastolic dysfunction was present in 130 patients (28.4%) according to the conventional Doppler criterion, namely 119 (26.0%) because of E/A <0.7 and 11 because of E/A >1.5. A higher proportion of participants (60.1%) had LV diastolic dysfunction according to TDI. Notably, more than one-half of the patients with 'normal' diastolic function by conventional criterion exhibited an abnormal Ei value. Conclusions: A large proportion of elderly patients with normal E/A ratios may have more subtle alterations in LV diastolic mechanics characterized by a reduced annular motion velocity. Thus, evaluation of diastolic function by the simple E/A ratio may markedly underestimate diastolic abnormalities. This finding supports the view that diastolic function should be routinely assessed by comprehensive Doppler methodologies including both conventional and tissue Doppler measurements in order to improve the management of elderly patients seen in clinical practice.

J Nemirovsky, D Nemirovsky, Damian Membership to a Community: A Glimpse into the Jewish-Argentine Experience at Home and Abroad from the 1960s to the 1980s ERAS English Article This article historicizes the migration of Jewish Argentines to Mexico during the Argentine Dirty War" of 1976-1982 by exploring the legacy of early Jewish migration to Argentina and Mexico. Through an analysis of this history this article provides insight into the periodic waves of Argentine anti-Semitism, it examines how individuals have negotiated statelessness, and explores how Argentine-Jewish migrants have dealt wit their position as "others" in Mexico.
