Abstract

An anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted among the Hungarian adolescents to establish their use of tobacco, alcohol and drugs in relation to sexual behaviours, knowledge of human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer, and beliefs and attitudes towards screening and vaccination. Results indicated that adolescent risk-taking health behaviours correlate with risky sexual behaviours. As risk-taking behaviours do not correlate with a better awareness of the risk associated with HPV infection, it is of crucial importance that HPV/cervical cancer preventing educational programmes shall be sensitive to this 'vulnerable' population and draw the attention of these adolescents to their increased risk of sexually transmitted diseases and undesired pregnancies. Well-designed behavioural change interventions may be effective when in addition to providing adolescents (both men and women) with clear information about the implications of an HPV infection, they also aim to improve safer sex behaviours: consistent condom usage, limiting the number of sex partners, as well as encouraging regular participation in gynaecological screenings and uptake of the HPV vaccine. As this study population demonstrated positive attitudes towards the primary and secondary prevention of cervical cancer, the free HPV vaccination for the 12-13-year-old girls in Autumn 2014 will hopefully increase the currently low uptake of the vaccine in Hungary.

364. Exact Equations for SIR Epidemics on Tree Graphs.

Subjects

Abstract

We consider Markovian susceptible-infectious-removed (SIR) dynamics on time-invariant weighted contact networks where the infection and removal processes are Poisson and where network links may be directed or undirected. We prove that a particular pair-based moment closure representation generates the expected infectious time series for networks with no cycles in the underlying graph. Moreover, this 'deterministic' representation of the expected behaviour of a complex heterogeneous and finite Markovian system is straightforward to evaluate numerically. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

365. Effect of Irradiation and Dielectric Heating on Soybean Ultrastructure, Trypsin Inhibitor, and Lipoxygenase Activities

Author

Kovacs, E., Lam, N. D., Beczner, J., and Kiss, I.

Subjects
dielectric heating, storage, trypsin inhibitor, irradiation, food and beverages, soybean, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), lipoxygenease, microbes, nutritive value, Food Science
Abstract

Scanning electron microscopy ( SEM) was used to observe the protein bodies of soybeans after irradiation (0 - 10 kGy dose range) , dielectric heating and storage . Microbiological changes , lip oxygenase and trypsin inhibit or activities and biological value were also studied after different treatments and storaee . There were no differences in the ultrastructure of control and irradiated ( 3, 6 and 10 kGy) soybeans immediately after irradiation . The effect of storage depended on whether whole or milled soybeans had been stored . There was no direct effect of dielectric he ating on soybeans ultrastruc ture , however , during storage it changed the same way as the milled and irradiated soybean . Irradiation reduced the number of microbes , but had no effect on the biological values or the activities of trypsin inhibitor and lipoxygenase (0- 10 kGy) . Dielectric heating had no effect on microbes , but inactivated the trypsin inhibitor and lipoxygenase and increased the biological values of the soybeans .
