“…In the present study, the comparison group deviated the REG more than the experimental group did, who deviated the REG more than the control group did, although, as noted, there were no statistically significant differences in HILO scores for the three groups. This is of interest because decline effects have been reported in previous REG studies (Broderick and Goertzel, 2015; Radin, 2019). Data were collected from the comparison group before data collection started for the experimental group.…”

The primary objective was to determine whether depression and anxiety influence the outcome of random microevents in a nonrandom manner in the absence of any physical intervention by using a random event generator (REG). The secondary objective was to correlate other dimensions of consciousness with the REG's output. The experimental group (n = 30) included individuals with depression, the control group (n = 15) included individuals without depression, and the comparison group (n = 10) included individuals with or without depression. It was hypothesized that those with depression or anxiety would significantly deviate the REG in the unintended direction but the whole sample did [t(49) = −2.37, p = 0.022, two tailed]. There was no significant difference between the group means [F(2, 50) = 0.12, p = 0.84] and no robust correlations between dimensions of consciousness and REG activity. Further analysis is needed to understand negative emotions in mind-matter interactions.

“…Abortion and premature birth are potential outcomes of severe maternal acute hepatitis. (2) Intrauterine growth retardation, with early cholestatic hepatitis in the newborn, has been also described. Newborns born to chronic hepatitis B-infected women have a 90% likelihood of developing chronic HBV infection and its persistence.…”

Background: Hepatitis B is the most common chronic viral infection and a significant contributor to morbidity and death globally. Based on the mother's hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) status, the probability of perinatal HBV infection in children delivered to mothers with HBV ranges from 10% to 85%.Aim: to determine the prevalence of hepatitis B virus infection among women of childbearing age in the eastern region of Algeria and investigate risk factors for infection to recommend ways to reduce the disease's impact on neonatal morbidity and mortality.Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in Sétif, Algeria, from 2005 to 2007 to assess the prevalence of Hepatitis B Surface Antigen among women of childbearing age. This study is the first and only one in Algeria. Data on risk factors, obstetrics, and sociodemographic were gathered using structured questionnaire; they were subsequently tested using an enzymelinked immunosorbent assay for HBsAg. The data collected were entered and processed using Epi info 3.3.2 software. Infection prevalence, sociodemographic, clinical, obstetric and risk factors variable frequency distributions were calculated. The student's t-test and Fisher's exact test were applied, at a significance level of 5%.Results: There are834 women of childbearing age's medical records were examined for this study. 1% of HBsAg test findings were positive. Positive HBsAg didn't significantly correlate with any other variables, including age, place of residence, municipality, marital status, occupation, parity, current pregnancy, reason for current consultation, transmission risk factors (blood transfusion, recent piercing, dental care, shared personal hygiene equipment, injection with multiple use equipment, tattoo, scarification, partner characteristics). However, history of jaundice has a significant protective effect against HBsAg positive.Conclusion: Although our results classify the two municipalities studied as low prevalence areas (< 2%). Prenatal HBsAg screening is strongly advised.
