Exploring the Impact of Factors Affecting the Lifespan of HIVs/AIDS Patient’s Survival: An Investigation Using Advanced Statistical Techniques

This study investigates the impact of various factors on the lifespan and diagnostic time of HIV/AIDS patients using advanced statistical techniques. The Power Chris-Jerry (PCJ) distribution is applied to model CD4 counts of patients, and the goodness-of-fit test confirms a strong fit with a p-value of 0.6196. The PCJ distribution is found to be the best fit based on information criteria (AIC and BIC) with the smallest negative log-likelihood, AIC, and BIC values. The study uses datasets from St. Luke hospital Uyo, Nigeria, containing HIV/AIDS diagnosis date, age, CD4 count, gender, and opportunistic infection dates. Multiple linear regression is employed to analyze the relationship between these variables and HIV/AIDS diagnostic time. The results indicate that age, CD4 count, and opportunistic infection significantly impact the diagnostic time, while gender shows a nonsignificant relationship. The F-test confirms the model's overall significance, indicating the factors are good predictors of HIV/AIDS diagnostic time. The R-squared value of approximately 72% suggests that administering antiretroviral therapy (ART) can improve diagnostic time by suppressing the virus and protecting the immune system. Cox proportional hazard modeling is used to examine the effects of predictor variables on patient survival time. Age and CD4 count are not significant factors in the hazard of HIV/AIDS diagnostic time, while opportunistic infection is a significant predictor with a decreasing effect on the hazard rate. Gender shows a strong but nonsignificant relationship with decreased risk of death. To address the violation of the assumption of proportional hazard, the study employs an assumption-free alternative, Aalen’s model. In the Aalen model, all predictor variables except age and gender are statistically significant in relation to HIV/AIDS diagnostic time. The findings provide valuable insights into the factors influencing diagnostic time and survival of HIV/AIDS patients, which can inform interventions aimed at reducing transmission and improving early diagnosis and treatment. The Power Chris-Jerry distribution proves to be a suitable fit for modeling CD4 counts, while multiple linear regression and survival analysis techniques provide insights into the relationships between predictor variables and diagnostic time. These results contribute to the understanding of HIV/AIDS patient outcomes and can guide public health interventions to enhance early detection, treatment, and care.

Analysis of Krashen's Affective Filter Hypothesis

Affective filter hypothesis is one of Krashen's five hypotheses on Second Language Acquisition (SLA), and it states that a number of affective variables play a very important role in Second Language Acquisition. Based on the introduction of affective filter hypothesis, this paper will analyze the significance and shortcomings of this hypothesis.

Residual Stresses and Micro-Hardness Testing in Evaluating the Heat Affected Zone’s Width of Ferritic Ductile Iron Arc Welds

Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) in Ductile Irons (DI) is often required by foundries for practical manufacturing reasons. The mechanical properties of the welded structures are strongly dependent on their HAZ’s width. A model based on the behaviour of the ferritic matrix of high-Si DIs in order to make an approach in measuring their HAZ’s width is developed in this study. A series of thermal treatments on 3.35 and 3.75 wt% Si as-cast DIs and spot SMAWs is applied on these materials. The applied SMAWs are done on non-preheated and preheated samples (150℃ - 300℃). For welding we modify the amperage (100 - 140A). The micro-hardness Vickers changes in the ferrite of the as-cast samples and inside the HAZ of the welded ones can be attributed to the existence of residual stresses (RS) in the ferritic matrix and assist in estimating the HAZ’s width.

The Land Question and Catholic-Anglican Relations in Buha, Western Tanzania： The White Fathers and C.M.S. Experience, 1934-1959

Land was important--in the course of spreading and seeking new converts--for both Missionaries of Africa （White Fathers） and Church Missionary Society （C.M.S.） in Buha, Western Tanzania. This paper examines the land question as one of the challenges that the White Fathers encountered in their attempt to evangelize communities in Western Tanzania. I argue that the land question remained throughout the late-colonial period one of the unresolved issues, and at some mission stations, impeded the activities of the White Fathers and C.M.S. missionaries. This paper relies on archival documents first, to examine the land question and White Fathers-C.M.S. relations in Buha from 1934 to 1959. Second, I intend to demonstrate the fact that land issues remained at the heart of the missionary enterprise in Buha. Both Catholic and Anglican missionaries were determined to have more mission plots for medical, education and religious purposes.

Afracentrism in By the light of my father＇s smile

The novel, By the light of my father＇s smile, is the book which comprehensively embodies Alice Walker＇s womanist thoughts. In the novel, she describes a mixed tribe with both African and Indian ancestry. Through the mundo tribe with African features, she expresses her thoughts of Afracentrism. First of all, Alice Walker holds that African Americans should cherish the traditional African indigenous religion-animism, for it promotes equality and interrelateness among things. Furthermore, through Mundo people＇s cultural activities of making pots and their initiation songs, she intends to express such a womanist idea that survival and wholeness of entire race derives from that of each race, so those indigenous people who have been overrun by the powerful and wealthy western world are supposed to forgive the westerners＇ wrong doings, for only love can guide the entire race to achieve survival and wholeness.

My Father’s Eyes——天地父子情

父亲之爱相较于母亲的细致与唠叨,往往显得隐忍、含蓄。所以,我们常说严父慈母、父爱如山。对于儿女而言,很多人常常是长大成年甚至为人父母后才真正理解父爱的厚重与不易。但无论如何,有父爱就是幸福的,那是一种如钢似铁的精神支柱与寄托。然而,不是所有人都能幸运地享受到父爱。譬如英国摇滚布鲁斯歌手Eric Clapton,他一生未与父亲谋面,中年又尝丧子之痛,这种无父爱眷顾、亲情又无处安放的痛苦全都寄托在歌曲《父亲的眼睛》（My Father’s Eyes）里。

Parkinson’s disease and affective disorder: The temporal relationship

In relationship between the affective disorders and Parkinson’s disease (PD) it was found that comorbidity was higher than expected in the majority of the studies. Patients with PD are at increased risk of developing depression and, conversely, recent studies have shown that patients with depressive disorders have increased risk of incident PD. However, the temporal associations between the disorders are not fully elucidated. From this review it could be learned that the temporal aspects strongly suggest that a neurobiological association exists between affective disorder and PD. This is illustrated with hitherto unpublished data. Some of these issues may be investigated in case register studies, e.g. by linkage of registers of somatic and psychiatric illness, and suggestions for future research are given. For GP’s, psychiatrists, geriatricians, and neurologists these new findings will lead to a better understanding and better treatment for patients with complicated comorbid conditions. Here timing is important!
