Specifically, the study determines the influences of gender norms on household food consumption patterns in pastoral communities, assessing household food consumption patterns associated with food choice in pastoral communities and identifying factors of food choice and gender norms in pastoral communities. A cross-section research design was adopted. Simple random sampling was used to acquire a total sample size of 96 pastoralist households, 57 households from the Maasai tribe,32 from Gogo,5 from Zigua, and 2 from Kamba. Data were collected through interviews administered questionnaires, and key informant interviews. Statistical Package for Social Science program (SPSS) was used for analyzing quantitative data, whereby descriptive statistics, cross-tabulation, and t-test analysis were carried out. The content analysis was used to analyze qualitative information. The findings show that the average household food consumption pattern, through 24-hour dietary recall results, showed that the average milk intake for every meal time was 36.5% and stiff porridge intake for dinner and lunch time was 76.0% in pastoral community members, both milk and stiff porridge intake have a high level of significant of 0.000 with compare mean with tribes and marital status of respondents. The Maasai tribe has some food taboos prohibiting the consumption of chicken and fish, limiting household food diversity. Man has higher priority in serving food first in high quantity and quality than women and children in the household of pastoral community. Food choice is based on the food availability factor and preferred cereal and meat for 100% and most foods eaten often by 100% are stiff porridge, beef, and fresh milk.","PeriodicalId":517644,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Innovative Science and Research Technology (IJISRT)","volume":"8 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141920833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accurately predicting the risk of hospital readmission is crucial for implementing targeted interventions and improving patient care. This study investigates the use of natural language processing (NLP) techniques, specifically the ClinicalBERT model, to predict the risk of hospital readmission using the first 3-5 days of clinical notes, excluding discharge notes. We compare the performance of ClinicalBERT to other machine learning models, including logistic regression, random forest, and XGBoost, to identify the most effective approach for this task. This study highlights the potential of leveraging deep learning-based NLP models in the clinical domain to improve patient care and reduce the burden of hospital readmissions, even when utilizing only the initial clinical notes from a patient's hospitalization. It can also provide information early to allow Clinicians to intervene in patients who are at high risk. The results demonstrate that the ClinicalBERT model outperforms the other techniques, achieving higher accuracy, F1-score, and area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. This study highlights the potential of leveraging deep learning- based NLP models in the clinical domain to improve patient care and reduce the burden of hospital readmissions.","PeriodicalId":517644,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Innovative Science and Research Technology (IJISRT)","volume":"10 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141921085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While generally small and painless, MP can become unsightly and uncomfortable as it enlarges. Giant molluscum pendulum of the vulva, a rare variant of MP, presents unique clinical challenges. The aim of this study is to present and analyze a rare case of giant molluscum pendulum (MP) of the vulva, highlighting its clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and treatment outcomes.  Case Presentation: We report a 51-year-old female with a progressively enlarging perineal mass over 3 years. Physical examination revealed a pedunculated mass on the left labia majora, measuring 55 x 30cm, soft, painless, and mobile. Surgical excision under general anesthesia was performed, and the resected specimen weighed 850 grams with a diameter of 5 x 3 cm. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of giant vulvar molluscum pendulum. The surgical margins were clear, and the patient experienced a favorable recovery with no recurrence during a one- year follow-up.  Discussion: Molluscum pendulum is a benign pedunculated skin tumor commonly found in flexion areas but rarely on the vulva. Giant vulvar molluscum pendulum is characterized by significant growth and can be mistaken for other vulvar conditions, including Bartholin’s cysts and lipomas. Accurate diagnosis through histopathological examination is crucial. While the large size of the tumor is usually benign, potential malignancy must be considered. Surgical excision remains the most effective treatment, with further management reserved for malignant cases.  Conclusion: Giant molluscum pendulum of the vulva is a rare benign tumor that can grow substantially. Accurate diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are essential for managing this condition effectively and preventing recurrence.","PeriodicalId":517644,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Innovative Science and Research Technology (IJISRT)","volume":"5 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141920306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Problems in this research area show a decrease in road performance which is characterized by frequent delays which cause traffic jams on the highway due to activity in the market, thus making traffic flow slightly hampered. There are 7 (seven) market points studied on the roads of South Borneo Province and Central Borneo Province Roads, namely Walangku Market in Hulu Sungai Tengah Regency, Kelua Market in Tabalong Regency, Pamarangan Market in Tabalong Regency, Pasar Panas Market in Tabalong Regency, Jaar Market in East Barito Regency, Dayu Market in Tabalong Regency. East Barito, Ampah Market in East Barito Regency and Patas Market in South Barito Regency. The aim of this research is to determine the extent of the influence of market activity and no market activity on traffic characteristics. The parameters observed are traffic volume (V) and speed (S) on the road section studied. The research methods used to analyze the mathematical relationship between volume, speed and density are the Greenshields Model, Greenberg Model, Underwood Model and Bell Model. And to analyze the influence of side obstacles on traffic characteristics using correlation analysis and multiple linear regression. Based on the results of the analysis using mathematical relationship models in both conditions, the best models are found in the Bell model for market days and the Grenberg model for normal days at each market location. And for the results of correlation analysis and multiple linear regression on market days, the factors that influence traffic characteristics are market area (X2), vehicles stopping or parking on the road shoulder (X3), and effective lane width (X5). Meanwhile, on normal days the influencing factors are market length (X1) and effective lane width (X5). An alternative to improving the performance of roads in market areas is by increasing the effective lane width by 2 meters and implementing signs that prohibit parking or stopping on the shoulder of the road when market activity occurs. So the results obtained in the capacity value increased compared to market days by 4% and the resulting speed also increased compared to market days, namely by 6% and density also decreased after improving the performance of the road section, namely down by 3%.","PeriodicalId":517644,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Innovative Science and Research Technology (IJISRT)","volume":"13 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141921008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
