Preexposure Prophylaxis Implementation in a Reproductive Health Setting: Perspectives From Planned Parenthood Providers and Leaders

Integrating pregnancy and HIV prevention services would make reproductive health care settings an optimal venue for the promotion and delivery of preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to cisgender women. However, these settings have been slow to adopt PrEP. Planned parenthood clinicians and leaders possess critical insight that can help accelerate PrEP implementation in reproductive health care settings and elements of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (i.e., relative priority of the intervention to staff, implementation climate, available resources to implement the intervention, and staff access to knowledge and information about the intervention) can shed light on elements of Planned Parenthood’s inner setting that can facilitate PrEP implementation. In this study, individual 60-min interviews were conducted with clinical care team members (n = 10), leadership team members (n = 6), and center managers (n = 2) to explore their perspectives on PrEP implementation and associated training needs. Transcripts were transcribed verbatim and thematically analyzed. Despite having variable PrEP knowledge, participants (100% women, 61% non-Hispanic White) expressed positive attitudes toward implementing PrEP. Barriers and facilitators toward providing PrEP were reported at the structural, provider, and patient levels. Participants desired PrEP training that incorporated culturally competent patient-provider communication. Although participants identified ways that Planned Parenthood uniquely enabled PrEP implementation, barriers must be overcome to optimize promotion and delivery of PrEP to cisgender women.
Self-care at Work Matters: How Job and Personal Resources mediate between Self-Care and Psychological Well-being

The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between self-care activities (mindfulness and physical exercise) and the use of personal and work resources and their relationship with well-being. The sample consisted of 294 workers recruited from 20 organizations from different socioeconomic sectors in Spain. Results showed that mindfulness is positively related to well-being through the mediating role of work resources and personal resources. However, whereas personal resources showed a full mediating role in the hypothesized model, work resources did not show a significant relationship with mindfulness. Finally, results showed positive and significant relationships between the mindfulness x physical exercise interaction and all the dependent variables, and also the interaction between physical exercise and mindfulness had a significant effect on each of these three dependent variables.
Zombie: Middleboxes that Don't Snoop

Zero-knowledge middleboxes (ZKMBs) are a recent paradigm in which clients get privacy while middleboxes enforce policy: clients prove in zero knowledge that the plain-text underlying their encrypted traffic complies with network policies, such as DNS filtering. However, prior work had im-practically poor performance and was limited in functionality. This work presents Zombie, the first system built using the ZKMB paradigm. Zombie introduces techniques that push ZKMBs to the verge of practicality: preprocessing (to move the bulk of proof generation to idle times between requests), asynchrony (to remove proving and verifying costs from the critical path), and batching (to amortize some of the verification work). Zombie’s choices, together with these techniques, reduce client and middlebox overhead by ≈ 3 . 5 × , lowering the critical path overhead for a DNS filtering application on commodity hardware to less than 300ms or, in the asynchronous configuration, to 0. As an additional contribution that is likely of independent interest, Zombie introduces a portfolio of techniques to encode regular expressions in probabilistic (and zero-knowledge) proofs. These techniques significantly improve performance over a standard baseline, asymptotically and concretely. Zombie builds on this portfolio to support policies based on regular expressions, such as data loss prevention.
Translation, Cross-cultural adaptation and Validation of the Nigerian Pidgin English version of the Rosenberg Self-esteem and Leprosy-adapted Internalized Stigma for Mental Illness Scales among Persons Affected by Leprosy in Southern Nigeria

Background: Measuring self-esteem and internalized stigma among persons affected by leprosy is important to monitor stigma-reduction interventions. While the English versions of the Rosenberg self-esteem scale (RSES) and Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale (ISMI) as originally developed have been validated and widely used in many settings, to date, no cross-culturally adapted or validated Nigerian Pidgin English version exists. We describe the translation, cross-cultural validation and adaptation of the Nigerian Pidgin English versions of the RSES and ISMI in Cross River state, southern Nigeria. Methods: The Nigerian Pidgin English version of the RSES and ISMI was developed systematically following the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines on the process of translation and adaptation of instruments. The cultural equivalence of the instruments including their conceptual, item, semantic and their operational equivalences were evaluated using qualitative methods through the process of forward and back-translation, expert panel review, pre-testing and cognitive interviewing to generate the final version. A cross-sectional study of 56 participants with leprosy (Hansens disease) enrolled from rural and urban communities in 3 local government areas (Boki, Obubra and Calabar-South) in Cross River state, southern Nigeria was undertaken to assess the psychometric equivalence of the tools. After 2-weeks interval, one-third of them (16 participants) had a re-test. Results: The conceptual, item, semantic and the operational equivalences of the Nigerian Pidgin English versions of the RSES and ISMI scale showed adequate fit with all items identified as important in the context of the Pidgin speaking population. There was a negative inverse correlation between the mean total scores of the RSES and the ISMI scale (r = -0.57; p <0.001); confirming the construct validity of the two scales. The exploratory factor analysis for the scales indicated good fit as one-dimension scale. The Cronbach alpha values representing internal consistency were 0.82 and 0.95 for the RSES and ISMI scale respectively. The test-retest reliability intra-class correlation coefficient for the RSES and the ISMI scale was 0.98 and 0.67, respectively. There were no floor or ceiling effects in the distribution of the responses to the RSES and the ISMI scale. Conclusion: The Nigerian Pidgin English version of the RSES and ISMI scales were successfully developed and showed evidence to be reliable and valid instruments for the assessment of self-esteem and internalized stigma respectively among Nigerian Pidgin English speaking population of southern Nigeria.
The night-time sleep and autonomic activity of male and female professional road cyclists competing in the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes.

Objective. The objective of this study was to examine the capacity of male and female professional cyclists to recover between daily race stages while competing in the 109th edition of the Tour de France (2022) and the 1st edition of the Tour de France Femmes (2022), respectively. Methods. The 17 participating cyclists were 8 males from a single team (aged 28.0 {+/-} 2.5 years; mean 95% confidence interval) and 9 females from two separate teams (aged 26.7 {+/-} 3.1 years). Cyclists wore a fitness tracker (WHOOP 4.0) to capture recovery metrics primarily related to night-time sleep and autonomic activity. Data were collected for the entirety of the events and for 7 days of baseline before the events. The primary analyses tested for a main effect of stage type - i.e., rest, flat, hilly, mountain or time trial for males and flat, hilly or mountain for females - on the various recovery metrics. Results. During baseline, total sleep time at night was 7.2 {+/-} 0.3 h for male cyclists and 7.7 {+/-} 0.3 h for female cyclists, sleep efficiency (i.e., total sleep time as a percentage of time in bed) was 87.0 {+/-} 4.4 % for males and 88.8 {+/-} 2.6 % for females, resting heart rate was 41.8 {+/-} 4.5 beats{middle dot}min-1 for males and 45.8 {+/-} 4.9 beats{middle dot}min-1 for females, and heart rate variability during sleep was 108.7 {+/-} 17.0 ms for males and 119.8 {+/-} 26.4 ms for females. During their respective events, total sleep time at night was 7.2 {+/-} 0.1 h for males and 7.5 {+/-} 0.3 h for females, sleep efficiency was 86.4 {+/-} 1.2 % for males and 89.6 {+/-} 1.2 % for females, resting heart rate was 44.5 {+/-} 1.2 beats{middle dot}min-1 for males and 50.2 {+/-} 2.0 beats{middle dot}min-1 for females, and heart rate variability during sleep was 99.1 {+/-} 4.2 ms for males and 114.3 {+/-} 11.2 ms for females. For male cyclists, there was a main effect of stage type on recovery, such that heart rate variability during sleep was lowest after mountain stages. For female cyclists, there was also a main effect of stage type on recovery, such that the percentage of light sleep in a sleep period (i.e., lower-quality sleep) was highest after mountain stages. Conclusions. Some aspects of recovery were compromised in cyclists after the most demanding days of racing, i.e., mountain stages. Overall however, the cyclists obtained a reasonable amount of good-quality sleep while competing in these highly demanding endurance events. This study demonstrates that it is now feasible to assess recovery metrics in professional athletes during multiple-day endurance events using validated fitness trackers.
A capabilities approach: re-envision addressing substance misuse

ABSTRACT The Capabilities Approach provides an alternate lens to conceptualize substance misuse that embraces human dignity. This paper provides an overview of the Capabilities Approach, describes three overarching areas of substance misuse that hurt people who use substances, and explains how a shift to a Capabilities Approach would reduce that burden. These include (1) the stigmatizing effects of attributing substance misuse to personal responsibility while minimizing structural contributing factors; (2) the fragmented, siloed services separating micro and macro approaches; and (3) a rigid, prescriptive view of recovery based on 12 step philosophy with the sole outcome of abstinence thus not supporting a person-centered, multiple pathways approach, and in turn, self-determination. Finally, implications for Capabilities guided approaches to social work practice highlight person-in-environment, integrated practice, and a client-centered focus while replacing policies such as the War on Drugs with harm reduction and drug
An evaluation of prison-based theological education: current and former students’ perspectives

Abstract Increasing access to higher education in prison is a topic of growing concern among researchers and correctional staff. The current evaluation analyzed data collected from 109 interviews in California, Texas, and Kansas with currently incarcerated students of a prison-based theological education program called The Urban Ministry Institute (TUMI) and with formerly incarcerated graduates who had participated in the program while they were incarcerated. In addition, 157 surveys were collected from individuals in California, Texas, Kansas, and Colorado who were currently incarcerated and formerly incarcerated program graduates. This study highlighted participants’ perceived impact of TUMI, particularly on how they perceive overall program quality, areas for improvement, self-rated psychological well-being, and evaluation of prosocial thinking, behavior, and relationships, all of which contribute to identity change and desistance.
Linear quadratic optimal control for time-delay stochastic system with partial information

ABSTRACT This paper is concerned with the linear quadratic optimal control problem for the time-delay stochastic system with partial information. The main contribution is to derive the equivalent solvability condition and give the explicitly optimal controller under partial information in terms of the Riccati equations. The key is to explicitly solve the forward and backward stochastic difference equations with partial information, which is derived from the stochastic maximum principle.

Examining the Psychometric Properties of the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale-Plus

ABSTRACT College student athletes are at risk for mental health difficulties. Athletic identity – the degree of strength and exclusivity to which a person identifies with the athletic role – is associated with health risk behaviors and mental health concerns broadly among student athletes. Given a variety of barriers to college athletes disclosing mental health difficulties, measuring athletic identity may be an indirect way to screen athletes for being at-risk for mental health concerns. The current study examined the factor structure of an increasingly popular measure of athletic identity (the AIMS-Plus) across two samples of self-identified athletes (Nstudy1 = 201; 60.2% male; 61.19% White; 21.39% Hispanic; NStudy2 = 175; 45.29% male; 70.86% White; 20.57% Hispanic) to offer a peer-reviewed validation of the measure. Results suggest that the factor structure of the AIMS-Plus was not supported; however, both a modified version of the AIMS-Plus (the AIMS-Plus-R) and the 7-item AIMS may be acceptable. Continued work refining measures of athletic identity is needed.
Finite-frequency fault detection based on derandomisation for Markov jump linear system

The fault detection filter design for Markov jump linear system (MJLS) in finite-frequency domain based on derandomisation is proposed in this study. By means of generalised Kalman–Yakubovich–Popov (GKYP) lemma, the finite-frequency fault detection problem for deterministic systems can be easily solved. However, MJLS is a multi-mode system jumping among different modes stochastically. Consequently, its performance in finite-frequency domain cannot be directly achieved by GKYP lemma. Therefore, the derandomisation technique is introduced to transform stochastic multi-mode systems to deterministic single-mode systems. Then based on the transformed deterministic system, a fault detection filter for MJLS with both fault and noise in specific frequency ranges is designed. To demonstrate the superiority of the authors' theoretical results, a numerical example and a real application with engineering background are presented.
Secondary electron emission from textured surfaces

In this work, a Monte Carlo model is used to investigate electron induced secondary electron emission for varying effects of complex surfaces by using simple geometric constructs. Geometries used in the model include: vertical fibers for velvet-like surfaces, tapered pillars for carpet-like surfaces, and a cage-like configuration of interlaced horizontal and vertical fibers for nano-structured fuzz. The model accurately captures the secondary electron emission yield dependence on incidence angle. The model shows that unlike other structured surfaces previously studied, tungsten fuzz exhibits secondary electron emission yield that is independent of primary electron incidence angle, due to the prevalence of horizontally-oriented fibers in the fuzz geometry. This is confirmed with new data presented herein of the secondary electron emission yield of tungsten fuzz at incidence angles from 0–60°.
Network Autocorrelation Modeling: A Bayes Factor Approach for Testing (Multiple) Precise and Interval Hypotheses

Currently available (classical) testing procedures for the network autocorrelation can only be used for falsifying a precise null hypothesis of no network effect. Classical methods can be neither used for quantifying evidence for the null nor for testing multiple hypotheses simultaneously. This article presents flexible Bayes factor testing procedures that do not have these limitations. We propose Bayes factors based on an empirical and a uniform prior for the network effect, respectively, first. Next, we develop a fractional Bayes factor where a default prior is automatically constructed. Simulation results suggest that the first two Bayes factors show superior performance and are the Bayes factors we recommend. We apply the recommended Bayes factors to three data sets from the literature and compare the results to those coming from classical analyses using p values. R code for efficient computation of the Bayes factors is provided.
Optimization of Multiple Jet Arrays for Helium-Cooled Finger-Type Divertors

Abstract The leading candidate for the DEMO divertor is the helium-cooled modular divertor with multiple jets (HEMJ) design, which is to date the only design that has been experimentally shown to accommodate incident steady-state heat fluxes greater than 10 MW/m2. In the HEMJ, the divertor target plates are cooled by 25 jets of different diameters that impinge upon a curved tungsten (W)-alloy surface brazed to a hexagonal W tile. Given the difficulties in manufacturing such a complicated geometry in W and W-alloys, numerical simulations were performed to determine if simplified versions of the HEMJ design could provide similar thermal-hydraulic performance. Parametric studies were performed at fully prototypical conditions using one-way coupled thermo-mechanical and fluid dynamics simulations in ANSYS® Workbench® to determine the effect of varying the jet-to-cooled surface distance, the number, diameter, and spacing of the jet holes (the jets were all assumed to have the same diameter), and the curvature of the cooled surface on the thermal-hydraulic performance. The results for the evaluated 75 different jet array configurations suggest that similar and even superior thermal-hydraulic performance can be provided by several designs. These HEMJ variants with fewer jets and larger holes may reduce fabrication costs and improve reliability. For example, the simulations suggest that a configuration involving flat surfaces with six holes surrounding one central hole, all with a diameter of 1.18 mm at a jet-to-cooled surface distance of 1.25 mm provides a 6.6% higher average heat transfer coefficient (HTC) at a 4.8% lower pressure drop when compared with the HEMJ. The maximum temperature of the outer shell and cooled surface stress are also lower for this design. In all cases, the simulations also suggest that the jet-to-cooled surface distance decreases by approximately 0.2 mm when the temperature increases from ambient to prototypical conditions due to differential thermal expansion of the jets cartridge and the W-alloy pressure boundary.
Sluicing as sharing

It seem plausible that the sluicing site (indicated by the underscore) contains something like ‘Kyle insisted on eating nattō’ by virtue of being identical to the clause in the first conjunct, but what is less clear is whether this identity relation is a syntactic or a semantic one. One type of argument that is frequently used in this respect revolves around mismatches between the ellipsis site and its antecedent: if they can be shown to differ in form, but not in meaning, then this is an argument in favor of a semantic identity requirement, while if a change in form with no effect on the meaning results in ill-formedness, the identity relation is arguably formal-syntactic in nature. An area where such mismatches are readily detectable concerns (apparent) violations of the Preposition Stranding Generalization (PSG; Merchant 2001: 92):
Vertical almost-toric systems

This paper introduces vertical almost-toric systems, a generalization of semi-toric systems (introduced by Vũ Ngo.c and classified by Pelayo and Vũ Ngo.c), that provides the language to develop surgeries on almost-toric systems in dimension 4. We prove that vertical almost-toric systems are natural building blocks of almost-toric systems. Moreover, we show that they enjoy many of the properties that their semi-toric counterparts do.
Muscular strength decrease and maximum endurance time assessment for a simulated truck pulling task

Abstract Assessing both the muscular strength decrease and maximum endurance time (MET) is essential in job design in industry. The objective of this study was to assess the muscular fatigue progress in simulated truck pulling tasks via examining the decrease in the pulling strength and the MET of the tasks. The pulling strengths and subjective ratings of physical exertion of 20 male subjects were measured after they pulled a simulated truck stick under two loaded and time period conditions. Exponential function-based models of muscular strength and MET were established. The pulling strength after handling the simulated truck stick was significantly affected by the load (p < 0.001) and time period (p < 0.0001). The MET values between the two loaded conditions were significantly different (p < 0.0001). The pulling strengths were negatively correlated (r = −0.45) with the subjective ratings of physical exertion. Developing of muscular fatigue in simulated truck pulling was discussed.
On the n-Color Weak Rado Numbers for the Equation

ABSTRACT For integers k, n, c with k, n ⩾ 1, and c ⩾ 0, the n-color weak Rado number is defined as the least integer N, if it exists, such that for every n-coloring of the integer interval [1, N], there exists a monochromatic solution x1, …, xk, xk + 1 in that interval to the equation with xi ≠ xj, when i ≠ j. If no such N exists, then is defined as infinite. In this paper, we determine the exact value of some of these numbers for n = 2 and n = 3, namely , for all c ⩾ 0 and for all c > 0. Our method consists in translating the problem into a Boolean satisfiability problem, which can then be handled by a SAT solver or by backtrack programming in the language C.
TiO2 nanotube/chitosan‐bioglass nanohybrid coating: fabrication and corrosion evaluation Maryam SafaviPour1 · Hamidreza Mokhtari1 · Mohammad Mahmoudi1 · Sajjad Fanaee1 · Zahra Ghasemi1 · Mahshid Kharaziha1 · Ali Ashrafi1 · Fathallah Karimzadeh1

In present work, the effect of titania (TiO2) nanotubes formation incorporated with chitosan-58S bioactive glass (TNT/ Chitosan-58S BG) on physiochemical properties of titanium substrate was studied. Samples were characterized by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Corrosion behavior of the coated samples was investigated in Ringer solution through Tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. Results represented that TiO2 nanotubes orderly formed on titanium substrate through electrochemical anodizing process. Moreover, Chitosan-58S BG coating was formed on the TNT layer with appropriate adhesion strength, owing to the mechanical interlocking. Variation of applied voltage (25 and 30 V) and duration of anodizing process (30, 60 and 120 min) resulted in the formation of TiO2 nanotubes with various diameters in the range of 89–99 nm. Furthermore, electrochemical evaluations illustrated that the presence of titania nanotubes and Chitosan-58S BG on Ti substrate significantly ameliorated the corrosion resistance of Titanium substrate through reducing corrosion current density (3.486 vs. 2.854 μA cm− 2), as well as, increasing total resistance (40.417 vs. 96.875 kΩ cm2). In addition, our study revealed that the surface hardness of Ti substrate improved after two step surface treatments. In summary, appropriate mechanical and electrochemical characteristics make the TNT/Chitosan-58S BG coating, a proper choice for biomedical applications. * Fathallah Karimzadeh karimzadeh_f@iut.ac. ir 1 Department of Materials Engineering, Isfahan University of Technology, Isfahan 84156-83111, Iran 178 Journal of Applied Electrochemistry (2023) 53:177–189 1 3 Graphical abstract
