Authors: Kazmiruk S. , Pampukha I. , Blyzniuk N.
Published: September 2021

The year 2021 was proclaimed the year of the Euro-Atlantic transformation at the Department of Defense of Ukraine. The result of such transformational processes in the DoD of Ukraine and the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be the creation of the integrated Euro-Atlantic type defense institution that will ensure their obligatory transformation, together with the other subjects of the security and defense sector of Ukraine to the new standards functioning and the command and control procedure. In particular, the introduction of legal regulation of the use of the polygraph. Military security is one of the fundamental requirements to implement the right of the people of Ukraine on self-identification, preserve Ukraine as a state and secure its sustainable development. The protection of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine is the utmost valuable function of the State.

The fulfillment of this norm of the Constitution of Ukraine in terms of existential military threat to national security requires applying a number of measures and defensive actions that adhere to the principles and norms of international law. The main purpose of the Strategy of the military security of Ukraine is a preliminary prepared and comprehensively maintained all-encompassing defense of Ukraine based on the principles of deterrence, sustainability, and cooperation that ensures military security, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of the state by introducing innovative tools to detect hidden information. In the course of the Euro-Atlantic integration process, there is a critical moment to start carrying out specific, complex, and relevant tasks in the sphere of external political activity that facilitate the implementation of relevant directions in developing innovative systems aimed at identifying concealed and false information. Particularly, the linguistic support of events of defense and military cooperation in order to systematically implement the reforms of the security and defense sector that are directed to meet the international NATO-members' standards. It is also relevant to urgently implement the legal and ethical norms on the activity of the polygraph examiner's when performing a psychophysiological detection of deception using a polygraph.

Radiotheranostics is here to help
Authors: Rumyantsev Rumyantsev O.
Published: September 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic did not diminish interest in radiotheranostics. However, the demand for visualization of pathological processes using cross-sectional and hybrid imaging (CT, MRI, SPECT, and PET) is increased. Over the past 15 months, the world has seen an exponential increase in investment in new radiopharmaceuticals for radiotheranostics. The list of antibodies and ligands labeled with "medical" radioactive isotopes is expanding as the molecular mechanisms of regulation and implementation of metabolic processes become clearer. The range of diagnostic and therapeutic radioactive isotopes is also expanding, ultimately increasing the range and availability of radiotherapy in nuclear medicine centers worldwide. It is necessary to unite the efforts of physicists, radiopharmacists, chemists, biologists, doctors, and mathematicians to develop radio technology. Usage and improvement of personalized dosimetry for planning radionuclide therapy is also a priority. For example, the International Foundation Oncidium helps with information and exchange of experience, while the international diagnostic study NOBLE increases the availability and reduces the cost of PSMA receptor scintigraphy. An association for the development of theranostics was created to intensify the integration renewal of nuclear medicine.

Topology of ray surfaces in low-velocity zones
Authors: McMechan George A.
Published: September 2021

abstract

Plotting of three-dimensional ray surfaces in p-Δ-z space provides a means of determining p-Δ curves for any focal depth. A region of increasing velocity with depth is represented in p-Δ-z space by a trough, and a region of decreasing velocity, by a crest. Two sets of ray trajectories, the arrivals refracted outside a low-velocity zone, and the guided waves inside the zone, can be merged into a single set along the ray that splits into two at the top of the low-velocity zone. This ray is common to both sets. This construction provides continuity of the locus of ray turning points through the low-velocity zone and thus allows definition of p-Δ curves inside as well as outside the low-velocity zone.
Gravity meter observation of free modes excited by the August 19, 1977 Indonesia earthquake

Published: September 2021

abstract

Free modes with signal-to-noise ratio in the range of 40 to 55 dB were observed in the record taken by a vertical broadband quartz fiber gravimeter system opeating in Montreal following the event of August 19, 1977 in Indonesia. The large signal-to-noise ratio has permitted very stable Q estimates to be made for a number of the fundamental spheroidal modes. The very long-period band shows no definitive evidence of signal other than the expected tidal lines.
Democracy and Borderline Cases: Covid-19 Emergency
Authors: Caraffini Enrica
Published: September 2021

Since the primary mode of Covid transmission is person-to-person contact both through respiratory droplets produced by sneezing, breathing, coughing and direct contact with an infecting subject or indirect through hand-mediated transfer of the virus, governments had to limit the contact between individuals to reduce the risk of coronavirus infection. The effect has been a drastic reduction of human interactions, as these were “cut to the bone”. The strict rules the world population has been following, have brought about an urgent debate on the behaviour and regulations that governments have embraced. Fundamental questions about democracy and social theory have been raised by scholars and theorists seeking for a possible answer about why, how and whether the Covid-19 emergency has caused a transformation in a society and, if it is so which are the effects and where are we heading. The paper will be divided in two sections: the former is focused on different perspectives on the impact of Covid-19 and aims to understand whether a western democracy can handle a borderline case like this, or does it have to develop into some other social system. The latter section will focus on what the Covid emergency has been causing in a society and how governments have decided to control and face this situation.
When the Face Becomes a Carrier: Biopower, Levinas’s Ethics, and Contagion
Authors: Horton Sarah
Published: September 2021

In the midst of a pandemic, what does it mean to see the Other as Other and not as a carrier of the virus? I argue that in seeking a Levinasian response to the pandemic, we must be mindful of the implications of the mechanisms of surveillance and control that, presented as ways to protect the Other, operate by controlling the Other and rendering our relation to the Other increasingly impersonal. Subjected to these mechanisms, the Other becomes a dangerous entity that must be controlled, and the state that deploys them comes increasingly to mediate the relation between self and Other. The more we rely on such mechanisms for protection, the easier it becomes to regard the Other not as one who summons me to an infinite responsibility but as a vector of disease. Despite all the differences between Levinas’s and Foucault’s approaches, reading them in conversation shows that the control and surveillance of the population functions within a discourse that medicalizes and objectifies the Other in favor of the centralizing power that uses those technologies. In defiance of Levinas’s warning against imposing a narrative on the Other’s suffering, this discourse coopts that suffering as a justification for biopower.
Actitudes culturales ante la enfermedad y la muerte. Perspectivas desde la pandemia global
Authors: Bohórquez-Carvajal Julian
Published: September 2021

In the context of Covid-19 pandemic, this paper reflects on the effects of great epidemics on our cultural attitudes towards illness and death. First, through a parallel between the coronavirus pandemic and the medieval Black Death, I examine the impact of epidemics on our ways of thinking about reality and of responding collectively to the fear of dying. Based on the historical periodization of the different mentalities towards death, formulated by Philippe Ariès, I argue that epidemic phenomena modify the way in which the different cultures conceive and deal with finitude, and how this fact manifests itself in the contemporary society, characterized by the denial of death. I conclude that current pandemic can lead us to a thoughtful reappropriation of our mortality. Second, based on the reflections of American writer Susan Sontag, I analyze the negative impact of military metaphors associated with contagious diseases, and how these metaphors promote our fears and irrational attitudes in the face of crisis. Finally, I show that the emergence of new pathologies, such as coronavirus disease, is generating a conceptual change in medicine that leads to rethinking many of the traditional ideas regarding microorganisms and the infections they cause. I claim that this scientific revolution may contribute to a positive modification in our ways of understanding death and disease, and to the search for a more balanced relationship with the natural environment that also helps prevent future pandemics.
Em direção à compreensão das emoções na pandemia: a solidão e seu significado epistêmico
Authors: Williges Flavio
Published: September 2021

Emotions elicited by the threat of the coronavirus and social distancing measures are usually characterized in a negative way in the literature about the pandemic. This paper argues that this is not true for all emotions. Based on philosophical and empirical studies of loneliness, I contend that transient feelings of loneliness felt during the pandemic contribute to epistemically recognize what is significant or important to us in terms of social connection and fulfillment. Part of my argument depends on conceiving loneliness not only as an episodic “inner” emotion but rather as a pervasive emotion that involves psychic and bodily feelings, especially those related to how we apprehend the spatiality of the world. Finally, I also claim that the structure and content of loneliness help to explain why the pandemic should be seen as an epistemic transformative experience.
De-Centering Whiteness Through Revisualizing Theory in Social Work Education, Practice, and Scholarship
Authors: Crudup Chandra , Fike Chris , McLoone Claire
Published: September 2021

Institutions that frame social work education and prepare future practitioners are firmly rooted in hegemonic philosophies and practices that perpetuate colonization, oppression, and white supremacy. In recognizing that white supremacy is a mechanism of social control, that our current social structure is grounded in liberal-patriarchal capitalism, and that social work conforms to prevailing social norms, we, as social workers, must acknowledge our complicity in perpetuating a white supremacist master narrative (Pewewardy & Almeida, 2014). The white supremacist ideology inherent within Western social work literature, teaching methodologies, and practice strategies only serves to perpetuate an oppressive system. This structure does not envision social workers as agents of change, but rather as essential cogs of the status quo who foster client dependence on a system that is inherently marginalizing. One mechanism for disrupting the white supremacy that has become a master narrative in social work is to create a counter-narrative (Pewewardy & Almeida, 2014). This paper creates a counter-narrative by using the pyramid of white supremacy framework (Safehouse Progressive Alliance for Nonviolence, 2008; Tuzzolo, 2016) to critique social work and deconstruct post-racial fallacies ascendant within the profession, and re-visualizes ecological systems framework as a mechanism for de-centering whiteness in social work scholarship, practice, and education.
“Theory’s Cool, But Theory With No Practice Ain’t Shit…”
Authors: Maglalang Dale Dagar , Rao Smitha
Published: September 2021

As it stands today, social work education falls short in providing critical theories and frameworks that reflect the experiences of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). Such insufficiencies maintain racism and other forms of oppression that plague both social work pedagogy and praxis. To challenge and dismantle hegemonic curricula, social work education needs to do more to provide the knowledge and tools necessary for anti-racist social work. The purpose of this article is to present five critical theories and frameworks written by Indigenous and People of Color scholars that social work educators, researchers, and practitioners can integrate into their teaching and practice to raise the critical consciousness of social work students. These five postulations are Compa Love, Racial Triangulation Theory, Breath of Life Theory, kapwa, and cultural wealth. The article will also discuss implications for social work education and practice. Centering the voices of under-represented scholars whose epistemologies are rooted in the lived experiences and communities that the field of social work traverses provides a pathway for social work education and practice to be tailored towards self-determination for all.
Confronting Historical White Supremacy in Social Work Education and Practice
Authors: Del-Villar Zoila
Published: September 2021

Oftentimes, social work education is in denial of its seductive and pervasive relationship with White Supremacy, as if it is exempt in power relations rooted in racial formation. The present paper investigates the historical legacy of racial formation within the United States context and its inception in the field of social work. This paper provides comprehensive definitions of the key terms used in teaching social work practice from an anti-racist social justice lens. Whiteness theory is used to highlight the way social work has perpetuated White Supremacy in the evolution of the profession and Black feminist standpoint is used to examine the experiences of non-White women as they interface with racist and oppressive social systems. I advocate for the use of a social justice pedagogy in social work education to help students think critically and reflectively about their future practice to better understand the oppressive power structures in many of today’s agencies, organizations, and institutions.
The Politics of Resistance From Within
Authors: Duhaney Patrina , El-Lahib Yahya
Published: September 2021

Everyday racism embedded in all facets of society, coupled with ongoing injustices against racialized people globally, have reignited an urgent action to turn the gaze within social work education. There is a need to challenge and resist white supremacy that continues to institutionalize systemic racism and justify state control of social and political processes. These current realities are in direct contradiction to the neoliberal push for state withdrawal from social programming and essential services. Yet the interconnectedness between neoliberalism, white supremacy and fascist ideologies has gone undetected in social work circles resulting in a political and ideological vacuum in the profession. Within the social work curricula, there is a lack of attention and involvement to effectively dismantle white supremacy and racism that are perpetuated within and through the profession. The social work classroom has been a natural place to incubate a new wave of resistance that has the potential of changing the face of the profession. Considering the deleterious effects white supremacy has for racialized bodies within academic spaces, we assert the embodiments of resistance with a call to action for social work scholars, students, administrators and practitioners. These key actors must reject the legacy of white supremacy in our profession that acts as social control agents serving the state's interests and perpetuating its hegemony. We explore some of the ways in which we confront and disrupt white supremacy, which includes interrogating and dismantling dominant discourses, systemic and institutional academic racism (teaching, research and service), social work curriculum and priorities, and racist classroom dynamics that have been shaped by whiteness that continues to impact the interactions between racialized and white students and professors. We conclude with a call to infuse social work with practices and approaches that equip students with knowledge and tangible tools to enact change beyond academic spaces.

Authors: Kirkizlar Tugcan Alp , Aktuglu Mehmet Burak
Published: September 2021

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) has an increased fracture risk due to loss of bone quality and tendency to falling. The aim of the study was to analyze the incidence of osteoporosis and vertebral fractures (VF) in postmenopausal women with type 2 DM and to define the risk factors of VF in terms of clinical, metabolic characteristics and diabetes related microvascular complications.Methods: The 42 postmenopausal patients with type 2 DM were included to the study in Haseki Training and Research Hospital outpatient clinics.Results: Osteoporosis with regard to lumbar spine (LS) and femur neck (FN) was 8.4%, 19.4%, respectively. Vertebral fracture ratio was 31%. There was no statistical significance between vertebral fracture and osteoporosis. In logistic regression analysis, longer postmenopausal period, higher postprandial blood glucose (PBG), presence of peripheral neuropathy was found associated with vertebral fracture (p=0.04, 0.04, and 0.05, respectively).Conclusions: In this study we suggest to consider the length of postmenopausal period, PBG and peripheral neuropathy for assessing the risk of VF.

Authors: Sabbani Abhishek , Medidhi Keerthana
Published: September 2021

Background: Diabetes is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Early identification of complications and management of the same is important to prevent the morbidity and mortality. The objective of the study was to study the clinical profile of patients with diabetes.Methods: A hospital based cross sectional study was carried out among 25 diabetic individuals. Baseline demographic details, risk factors and complications were noted. Investigations like fasting blood sugar, lipid profile and blood pressure were carried out for all patients. Their treatment status was noted.Results: Majority (56%) belonged to age group of 40-59 years. Males were more (64%) than females (36%). Only 28% were normal weight. 52% admitted that they consumed alcohol. 72% were non-smokers and only 8% were tobacco chewers. Hypertension was the most common complication associated with diabetes in 64% of the cases. 4% each had coronary heart disease, stroke, and neuropathy. No one was found to have cataract. 12% had diabetic foot while 8% had kidney disease. Mean levels of total cholesterol was 164.76; mean level of triglyceride was 169.28; mean level of HDL was 45.08; mean level of LDL was 91.32; mean level of Fasting blood sugar was 186; mean Systolic blood pressure was 168.48 and mean Diastolic blood pressure was 114.4. Majority (76%) were on Oral hypoglycemic drugs only and only 4% were on insulin. 20% were on Oral hypoglycemic drugs + insulin.Conclusions: Males were affected more with diabetes. Hypertension was the most common complication. Significant number had developed serious complications and hence early screening for complications in all diabetes patients is required.

Published: September 2021

This paper compares classification performances of machine learning (ML) techniques for forecasting dispute resolutions in construction projects, thereby mitigating the impacts of potential disputes. Findings revealed that resolution cost and duration, contractor type, dispute source, and occurrence of changes were the most influential factors on dispute resolution method (DRM) preferences. The promising accuracy of the majority voting classifier (89.44%) indicates that the proposed model can provide decision-support in identification of potential resolutions. Decision-makers can avoid unsatisfactory processes using these forecasts. This paper demonstrated the effectiveness of ML techniques in classification of DRMs, and the proposed prediction model outperformed previous studies.

Published: September 2021

The purpose of this study is to reveal students’ perspective of the online learning media during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study is conducted in the University Negeri Surabaya with 118 respondents. A questioner used a Likert scale that can reflect the students’ perception on difficulties of media, attractiveness of media, convenience of media, easiness of material understanding, and satisfaction of media. This study shows that the tendency of lecturers to carry out online learning in the Covid-19 pandemic era is achieved through assignments and online meetings. Also, students’ assessments of online learning media used in this study fall into the good category, so the chosen online learning media are suitable for use in learning. This study implies that learning media combination is needed during the Covid-19 pandemic since not every student can effectively learn by the online system.

La Unión Europea, el Líbano y los refugiados sirios
Authors: Lion Bustillo Javier
Published: September 2021

El propósito de este artículo consiste en evaluar la coherencia de la acción exterior de la Unión Europea entre sus relaciones con el Líbano y su política hacia los refugiados sirios. Para ello, se llevará a cabo un contraste entre los objetivos de la Política Exterior y de Seguridad Común y los del Espacio de Libertad, Seguridad y Justicia. La primera declara promover la estabilidad en ese país, además de extender hacia él las ideas europeas en materia de democratización, derechos humanos y buen gobierno. El segundo busca que los refugiados permanezcan en países vecinos (como es el caso del Líbano) y que se evite su llegada a Europa. Los resultados de este trabajo subrayan que esta notable presencia de refugiados en un país con recursos limitados, con una administración pública ineficaz y clientelista, y con un sistema político inestable está conduciendo a evidentes tensiones, que se pueden ver reforzadas si buena parte de esos refugiados permanece indefinidamente en el país. De este modo, la obsesión por tratar a los refugiados como una amenaza a su seguridad debilita la coherencia de la acción exterior de la UE y perjudica el logro de sus otros objetivos.

Evaluación del desarrollo y la estabilidad de una emulsión de vainilla (Vanilla planifolia) a partir de un extracto no alcohólico
Authors: Garcia Galindo Hugo Sergio
Published: September 2021

La vainilla (Vainilla planifolia) es considerada como el saborizante de mayor importancia en el mundo. Sin embargo, su aplicación en alimentos está limitada, ya que se comercializa principalmente como extractos etanólicos, debido a su naturaliza lipofílica. El objetivo de este trabajo fue elaborar nanoemulsiones de vainilla libre de alcohol, a partir de un extracto natural mediante homogenización por altas presiones, como estrategia para mejorar su solubilidad y estabilidad. El efecto de la presión y el número de ciclos se evaluaron mediante un diseño factorial de 23*3. Las emulsiones óptimas se almacenaron a 15, 25 y 35 ° C durante 42 días. A las emulsiones obtenidas se les evaluó tamaño de partícula e indice de estabilidad (TSI). La formulación óptima para generar una emulsión estable sin azúcar requirió 5 ciclos a una presión de 40 MPa, mientras que para la emulsión con azúcar fueron necesarios 9 ciclos a una presión de 20 MPa; con una composición de 17 % de glicerol. La emulsión se mantuvo estable a 15 y 25 º C durante 42 días. Los hallazgos de este estudio conducirán a la posibilidad de que esta formulación se utilice como uno de los métodos para mejorar su solubilidad y estabilidad
Effect of dietary prebiotic inulin and probiotic Bacillus subtilis and Lactobacillus sp., on the intestinal microbiota of white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei
Authors: Peña Rodríguez Alberto
Published: September 2021

Juvenile Litopenaeus vannamei (1.05 ± 0.1 g) were fed during 4-week with four experimental diets: control (Ctrl), inulin as prebiotic (5 g kg-1) (Pre), Bacillus subtilis and Lactobacillus sp. as probiotic (1 x 105 CFU g-1) (Pro), and a mix of inulin + B. subtilis and Lactobacillus sp. (5 g kg-1 + 1 x 105 CFU g-1) (Syn). Shrimps fed Syn diet showed significantly better feed utilization and higher growth than those in control diet (P < 0.05). The probiotic employed induced higher intestinal bacterial richness, whereas inulin in feed induced higher bacterial diversity in shrimp intestine. The most dominant bacterial phylum in the shrimp intestine among treatments was Proteobacteria with abundance ranging between 80 and 84 %. Prebiotic diet (Pre) increased relative abundance of Firmicutes in shrimp intestine (2 %) compared to the rest of the treatments (0.6 %). Nevertheless, when probiotics were included in the feed (Pro and Syn), a reduction between 3 and 13 % in the relative abundance of Vibrio sp. in shrimp intestine was observed respect to the control treatment, which represent an advantage to control potential pathogens of this genus.

A Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis Based on MacLaurin Expansion of the Completed Zeta Function
Authors: Zhang Weicun
Published: September 2021

The basic idea is to expand the completed zeta function $\xi(s)$ in MacLaurin series (infinite polynomial). Thus, by $\xi(s)=\xi(1-s)$, we have the following infinite polynomial equation \begin{equation}\nonumber \begin {split} &\xi(0)+\xi^{'}(0)s+\frac{\xi^{''}(0)}{2!}s^{2}+\cdots+\frac{\xi^{(n)}(0)}{n!}s^{n}+\cdots\\ =&\xi(0)+\xi^{'}(0)(1-s)+\frac{\xi^{''}(0)}{2!}(1-s)^{2}+\cdots+\frac{\xi^{(n)}(0)}{n!}(1-s)^{n}+\cdots \end {split} \end{equation} which leads to $s=1-s$ with solution $s=\alpha \pm j\beta = \frac{1}{2} \pm j\beta$. It is obvious that the zeros of $\xi(s)$ are determined by $\xi(s)=\xi(1-s)=0$ which is a special case of $\xi(s)=\xi(1-s)$. Thus a proof of the Riemann Hypothesis can be achieved.

To understand the enhanced protection mechanism of CoCrNiAlY-YSZ-LaMgAl11O19 dou-ble-layer ceramic coating with aluminum plating, a finite element simulation method was used to simulate the distribution of thermal stress in the coating in all directions. The results show that in the air exposure of the un-aluminized coating, high temperature causes a large radial thermal stress on the surface of the LaMgAl11O19 (LMA) layer, and it increases with the increase in temperature, which is the main reason for the initiation of axial cracks. After arc aluminum plating, the aluminum plating layer effectively inhibited the volume shrinkage of the coating through good adhesion to the coating and internal diffusion, the thermal stress of the coating was considerably reduced, and the CoCrNiAlY-YSZ-LMA coating had an effective enhancement and protection effect; however, there was still a certain amount of shear thermal stress inside the LMA layer, the top of the crack, and the bottom of the crack. This thermal stress caused the initi-ation of radial microcracks in the LMA layer, which also becomes a risk point for the failure of the aluminum coating.

Background-The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic has affected the global economy from its starting. Indian economy is also affected by the pandemic and experienced a lot of economic damages. India has become the global hotspot of COVID-19 during the second wave of the pandemic and recorded the second-highest position in terms of positivity rate after China. The present study attempts to analyze the economic issues that emerged in the first and second waves of the pandemic in India. Method/Approach-There is no econometric tools or analytical models used in the present study. This study attempts to evaluate the two research questions which are formed on the basis of some previous studies by various organizations and researchers. The research questions are as follow, First, what are the sectors those are primarily affected at the time of the first COVID-19 outbreak? Second, which economic issues and impacts emerged in the second wave of the pandemic? Results/ Findings-From the study, it is found that the second wave of COVID-19 is not much affected by the Indian economy. At this time, no nationwide lockdown was announced by the Government. But so, it was much severe in the time of the first wave of COVID-19. Many sectors were affected by the pandemic like agriculture, MSMEs, Tourism, etc., and these resulted in substantial unemployment problems in the economy. The study is trying to analyze these problems and concluding it with a few policy recommendations for the economy of India.

Despite the importance of few-shot learning, the lack of labeled training data in the real world, makes it extremely challenging for existing machine learning methods as this limited data set does not represent the data variance well. In this research, we suggest employing a generative approach using variational autoencoders (VAEs), which can be used specifically to optimize few-shot learning tasks by generating new samples with more intra-class variations. The purpose of our research is to increase the size of the training data set using various methods to improve the accuracy and robustness of the few-shot face recognition. Specifically, we employ the VAE generator to increase the size of the training data set, including the basic and the novel sets while utilizing transfer learning as the backend. Based on extensive experimental research, we analyze various data augmentation methods to observe how each method affects the accuracy of face recognition. We conclude that the face generation method we proposed can effectively improve the recognition accuracy rate to 96.47% using both the base and the novel sets.

COVID-19 poses a significant burden to healthcare systems. Healthcare organisations with a better health innovation infrastructure have faced a reduced burden and achieved success in curbing COVID-19. In Saudi Arabia, digital technologies have played a vital role in fighting SARS-CoV-2 transmission. In this paper, we aimed to summarise the experience of optimising digital health technologies in Saudi Arabia as well as discuss capabilities and opportunities during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. A literature review was conducted up to September 2021 to retrieve peer-reviewed articles that critique the use of digital health technology platforms (DHTPs) in Saudi Arabia during the COVID-19 outbreak. A small but significant body of literature examined the digital response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Saudi Arabia. Health officials succeeded in optimising and maintaining a strategy to mitigate the spread of the virus via different digital technologies, such as mobile health applications, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. The quick digital response in Saudi Arabia was facilitated by governmental support and considering users and technology determinants. Future research must concentrate on establishing and updating the guidelines for using DHTPs.
Estimating Destination of Bus Trips Considering Trip Type Characteristics

In recent years, local governments have been using transportation card data to monitor the use of public transport and improve the service. However, local governments that are applying a single-fare scheme are experiencing difficulties in using data for accurate identification of real travel patterns, policy decision support, etc. because the information on alighting stops of users is missing. This policy limits its functionality of utilizing data such as accurate identification of real travel patterns, policy decision support, etc. Various studies to overcome this limitation have been conducted in South Korea and other countries to develop es-timation methodologies of alighting stops. Even existing studies introduce an advanced method, we found the margin for better accuracy by combining various estimation methodologies for estimating alighting stops. This study reviewed previously conducted studies to classify data with missing alighting stop information into trip types and then applied an appropriate alighting stop estimation methodology for the characteristics of each trip type by stage. The proposed method is evaluated by utilizing transportation card data of the Seoul metropolitan area and checked the accuracy for each standard of allowable error for sensitivity analysis. Furthermore, the number of trips, accuracy, and valid tag rate were checked for each type to examine the need for classifying the trip types. Finally, our evaluation also examines the impact of classifying trip types on estimation accuracy. The evaluation criteria are accuracy of the number of trips and valid tag rate. The analysis shows that the stage-by-stage estimation methodology based on the trip type proposed in this study can es-timate users’ destinations more accurately than previous studies. Furthermore, based on the construction of nearly 100% valid tag data, this study differs from prior studies.

Objectives. To explore associations between police stops, self-harm, and attempted suicide among a large, representative sample of adolescents in the United Kingdom.

Methods. Data were drawn from the 3 most recent sweeps of the UK Millennium Cohort Study (MCS), from 2012 to 2019. The MCS is an ongoing nationally representative contemporary birth cohort of children born in the United Kingdom between September 2000 and January 2002 (n = 10 345). Weights were used to account for sample design and multiple imputation for missing data.

Results. Youths experiencing police stops by the age of 14 years (14.77%) reported significantly higher rates of self-harm (incidence rate ratio = 1.52; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.35, 1.69) at age 17 years and significantly higher odds of attempted suicide (odds ratio = 2.25; 95% CI = 1.84, 2.76) by age 17 years. These patterns were largely consistent across examined features of police stops and generally did not vary by sociodemographic factors. In addition, 17.73% to 40.18% of associations between police stops and outcomes were explained by mental distress.

Conclusions. Police-initiated encounters are associated with youth self-harm and attempted suicide. Youths may benefit when school counselors or social workers provide mental health screenings and offer counseling care following these events.
