Authors: Lee Sun Yeop , Kim Woong-Han , Heo Jongho
Published: August 2023

Background A high burden of physical, mental, and occupational health problems among migrant workers has been well-documented, but data on undocumented migrant workers during the COVID-19 pandemic are limited and their well-being has rarely been compared to that of the general population. Methods Using data from a cross-sectional survey of migrant workers in South Korea in early 2021, we describe their physical, behavioral, psychological, and social well-being in a wide range of outcomes. The well-being outcomes were first compared between documented and undocumented migrant workers in generalized linear regressions adjusting for potential confounders. Then, the well-being of the migrant workers was compared against that of the general population using data from the Korean Happiness Survey, which is nationally representative of the South Korean general population and conducted in late 2020. The parametric g-formula was performed to adjust for potential confounders. Results We found inequalities of considerable magnitude in psychological, behavioral, and social well-being after adjusting for potential confounders. The undocumented migrants were less likely to be happy or engage in community participation, and much more likely to have anxiety or depression, smoke cigarettes, or drink alcohol than the documented migrants. When compared to the general South Korean population, an evident social gradient was observed for psychological well-being; the undocumented migrants experienced the worst outcome, followed by the documented migrants, and then the general population. Also, the undocumented migrants were more likely to smoke cigarettes than the general population and as likely to drink alcohol as the general population. Conclusion A stark social gradient in psychological and behavioral well-being exists among documented, undocumented migrant workers and the general population in South Korea, whose quarantine is considered relatively successful. Sociostructural factors are likely to be in action to make undocumented migrants psychologically unwell and isolated from the community and society at large. Policy-level interventions as well as interpersonal efforts are in urgent need to improve undocumented migrant workers’ behavioral, psychological, and social well-being.
Nested Entity Recognition Method Based On Multidimensional Features And Fuzzy Localization
Authors: Zhao Hua , Bai Xueyang , Zeng Qingtian , Zhou Heng , Bai Xuemei
Published: August 2023

Nested named entity recognition (NNER) aims to identify possibly overlapping named entities, which is a crucial and challenging sub-task in the field of named entity recognition. Traditional sequence labeling methods are unable to effectively deal with the NNER due to their linear structure; span-based methods require traversing and verifying every possible span, which leads to high complexity and data imbalance issues. To address these issues, this paper proposed a nested entity recognition method based on Multidimensional Features and Fuzzy Localization (MFFL). Firstly, this method adopted the shared encoding that fused three features of characters, words, and parts of speech to obtain a multidimensional feature vector representation of the text and obtained rich semantic information in the text. Secondly, we proposed to use the fuzzy localization to assist the model in pinpointing the potential locations of entities. Finally, in the entity classification, it used a window to expand the sub-sequence and enumerate possible candidate entities and predicted the classification labels of these candidate entities. In order to alleviate the problem of error propagation and effectively learn the correlation between fuzzy localization and classification labels, we adopted multi-task learning strategy. This paper conducted several experiments on two public datasets. The experimental results showed that the proposed method achieves ideal results in both nested entity recognition and non-nested entity recognition tasks, and significantly reduced the time complexity of nested entity recognition.

Published: August 2023

Machine learning approaches using structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) can be informative for disease classification, although their ability to predict psychosis is largely unknown. We created a model with individuals at CHR who developed psychosis later (CHR-PS+) from healthy controls (HCs) that can differentiate each other. We also evaluated whether we could distinguish CHR-PS + individuals from those who did not develop psychosis later (CHR-PS-) and those with uncertain follow-up status (CHR-UNK). T1-weighted structural brain MRI scans from 1,165 individuals at CHR (CHR-PS+, n = 144; CHR-PS-, n = 793; and CHR-UNK, n = 228), and 1,029 HCs, were obtained from 21 sites. We used ComBat to harmonize measures of subcortical volume, cortical thickness and surface area data and corrected for non-linear effects of age and sex using a general additive model. CHR-PS+ (n = 120) and HC (n = 799) data from 20 sites served as a training dataset, which we used to build a classifier. The remaining samples were used external validation datasets to evaluate classifier performance (test, independent confirmatory, and independent group [CHR-PS- and CHR-UNK] datasets). The accuracy of the classifier on the training and independent confirmatory datasets was 85% and 73% respectively. Regional cortical surface area measures-includingthose from the right superior frontal, right superior temporal, and bilateral insular cortices strongly contributed to classifying CHR-PS + from HC. CHR-PS- and CHR-UNK individuals were more likely to be classified as HC compared to CHR-PS+ (classification rate to HC: CHR-PS+, 30%; CHR-PS-, 73%; CHR-UNK, 80%). We used multisite sMRI to train a classifier to predict psychosis onset in CHR individuals, and it showed promise predicting CHR-PS + in an independent sample. The results suggest that when considering adolescent brain development, baseline MRI scans for CHR individuals may be helpful to identify their prognosis. Future prospective studies are required about whether the classifier could be actually helpful in the clinical settings.
Association between pharmaceutical industry payments to physicians and prescription of PARP inhibitors in the United States
Authors: Murayama Anju
Published: August 2023

Purpose
To evaluate the association between industry payments to physicians related to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) and physicians' prescribing behaviors for PARPis.
Methods
This cross-sectional study used the publicly accessible Open Payments Database and Medicare Part D database between 2017 and 2021. All physicians who reported more than 10 claims for either olaparib, rucaparib, or niraparib were included in this study. Non-research payments for the PARPis to the physicians from the PARPi manufacturers were extracted from the Open Payments Database. Associations between the physicians’ receipt of payments and likelihood of prescribing PARPis were assessed with logistic generalized estimating equations (GEEs). Dose-response associations between the number of payments and prescription volumes and Medicare expenditures were evaluated with linear GEEs.
Results
Of the 1,706 eligible physician prescribers, 68.1% received one or more non-research payments related to any of the three PARPis from the manufacturers between 2017 and 2021. Median annual payments per physician were $55 for olaparib, $40 for rucaparib, and $60 for niraparib. Receipt of payments for each PARPi was associated with higher odds of prescribing olaparib (odds ratio [OR]: 1.33 [95% CI: 1.17-1.52], p<0.001), rucaparib (OR: 2.25 [95% CI: 1.72-2.95], p<0.001), and niraparib (OR: 1.45 [95% CI: 1.20-1.76], p<0.001). Dose-response effects were observed between the number of annual payments and the number of prescriptions and/or Medicare expenditures for olaparib and rucaparib.
Conclusion
Non-research payments to physician prescribers of PARP inhibitors from the manufacturers were significantly associated with increased prescriptions and Medicare expenditures for olaparib and rucaparib in the United States.
Kernel Inference on the Weibull Distribution Parameters and Reliability
Authors: Maswadah M.
Published: August 2023

A new estimation technique based on non-parametric kernel density estimation is introduced as an alternative and reliable technique for estimation in life testing models. This technique estimates the parameters and reliability directly from the data without making any prior assumptions. The efficiency of this technique has been studied in comparison to Bayesian estimation of the parameters and the reliability of the Weibull distribution based on informative and informative conjugate priors, via Monte Carlo simulations. The simulation results indicated the robustness of the proposed method over Bayes’ method. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the densities and the inferential methods developed in this paper.

Relevant matters of standardisation of the terminology in risk management in railway transportation
Authors: Bublikova M. A. , Sazonov A. P.
Published: August 2023

In advance of the revision of GOST 33433-2015. Functional safety. Risk management on railway transport, a basic standard that defines the approach and general rules for managing risks in railway transportation that are associated with the functional safety of infrastructure facilities and rolling stock, it is imperative that we refine the definitions in the area of assessment and handling of risks associated with the operation of railway transportation as a technical system. This paper aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the key notions and their definitions as applied to risk management that have become part of national standards and regulatory documents in the Russian Federation. The risks that arise from the effects of various uncertainties on the achievement of the specified goals serve as a qualitative and quantitative estimation of the threats that manifest themselves in the process of technical systems operation. The absence of a single definition of risk and generally accepted concept of risk management complicates the introduction of the risk-oriented principles in business management and causes conflicts and misunderstanding between different levels of management and responsibility. Using the example of an analysis of regulatory support of risk management in railway transportation, the paper discusses the requirement of mutual coordination of the existing regulatory documents and guidelines that regulate the corporate risk management process as part of a single concept for the purpose of ensuring a single understanding of the conceptual and practical aspects of the used terms and concepts. The authors touch upon the definition of the basic concept of “risk”. They also discuss the harmonisation of the approaches and terminologies used in the Russian and foreign risk management standards.

Multiplexer Based Error Efficient Fixed-Width Adder Tree Design for Signal Processing Applications
Authors: Seethur Rashmi , Sudarshan Deeksha , Naik Vaibhavi , Masur Tushar , H K Shreedhar
Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND:

In copious mixed media applications, humans cannot necessarily discern error free or erroneous outputs, owing to the small range of perception abilities. Crucial information can still be obtained from marginally inexact outputs. Leveraging this, many algorithms such as Digital Signal Processing (DSP), Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), Motion Compensation (MC) use approximate calculations while still maintaining appreciable computation accuracy.

METHOD:

When data processing algorithms are taken into consideration, adders play an important role in the arithmetic module by managing the power and area utilization of the system. A fixed-width adder tree design for approximate calculations is proposed, that uses the trade-off between area and accuracy as the base for analysis. Our design uses 12.42%, 18.17% and 5.05% lesser area compared to the full width adder tree, FX- AT-PT and FX-AT-DT respectively. Additionally, when compared to FX-AT-DT, TFX-AT and ITFX-AT, the proposed design has an

RESULT:

To cope with the inaccuracy caused by truncation, the proposed design employs mux-based radix-4 addition coupled with bias estimation. Further, to examine the error performance we have incorporated the proposed design and a few other existing designs into the Walsh-Hadamard Transform (WHT), to process images with different metrics and compare the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) of the images.

CONCLUSION:

It was observed that the proposed design showed significant improvement in the PSNR score when compared to ITFX-AT and maintains a score similar to that of FX-AT-PT.

The chapter discusses the concept of risks in the economy and how it affects
the everyday operations of a company. Risks arising can result in economic losses,
damage to facilities and equipment, and, most importantly, workplace accidents. Risk
management nowadays has developed in both concept and practice and has become an
industry in countries with a functional market economy. The chapter emphasizes that
risk management is a crucial aspect of global management that requires information
from various fields, such as economic, technical, legal, statistical, and psychological, to
maintain the risk at the minimum level. Moreover, effective risk management can lead
to sustainable development for humans, the environment, and businesses.

Published: August 2023

In this work, limestone-calcined clay (LC2) is studied as an alternative supplementary cementitious material (SCM), combining two widely available resources – calcinated kaolinitic clay and limestone, to partially substitute portland clinker. The primary goal is to assess the potential of LC2 to produce moderate to high strength concretes with design compressive strengths of 20 to 50 MPa. For this purpose, 27 mixes with LC2 were prepared with a range of binder contents and water-binder ratios, and the performance was benchmarked against those of mixes having fly ash (PFA). In addition to the quantification of strength and concrete resistivity, life cycle assessment was performed for the concretes considering a typical situation in India. The efficiency of concretes made with LC2, PFA and ordinary portland cement (OPC) was analyzed using the energy intensity index (eics) and apathy index (A-index) as sustainability indicators. This framework establishes the sustainability potential of the LC2 with insights on the influence of strength on the indicators. It is concluded that the LC2 concretes with 45% replacement level, w/b≤0.45 and binder content lower than 400 kg/m3 possess the highest sustainability potential, among the concretes studied here.

Authors: Sharma Yashoda , Saha Anindita , Goldsack Jennifer C
Published: August 2023

UNSTRUCTURED

The pandemic provided a stark reminder of the inequities faced by populations historically marginalized by the health care system and accelerated the adoption of digital health technologies to drive innovation. Digital health technologies’ purported promises to reduce inefficiencies and costs, improve access and health outcomes, and empower patients add a new level of urgency to health equity. As conventional medicine shifts toward digital medicine, we have the opportunity to intentionally develop and deploy digital health technologies with an inclusion focus. The first step is ensuring that the multiple dimensions of diversity are captured. We propose a lexicon that encompasses elements critical for implementing an inclusive approach to advancing health care quality and health services research in the digital era.

Effect of Modifiable factors on Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) in Elderly Population: A study from a tertiary care hospital in Delhi
Authors: Singh Nikhil , Deniel Dr. Vivek
Published: August 2023

Hypertension (HTN) is a major public health problem in all age group but isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) is the commonest form of hypertension in elderly population and it is a better predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality compared to diastolic blood pressure. Aim of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of modifiable factors on systolic blood pressure (SBP) in elderly population on systolic blood pressure in elderly patients. This prospective observational study was conducted on the patient attending OPD & IPD of HAHC Hospital, Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi. All the elderly hypertensive with elevated systolic BP were included in the study, after explaining the details about the study and taking written consent data were recorded on a proforma. The patients were followed every regularly and the effect of drugs on SBP were assessed and recoded at monthly interval. Data were analysed by using IBM SPSSv20. This study documented that among the 220 hypertensive patients who completed the study 51% were female. The maximum numbers of patients were from of age group of 56 to 65 years (44.54%). This study also shows that 40.90% patients were tobacco user. Morbidity and mortality are increased by elderly hypertension. The number of elderly hypertension patients will increase for practitioners as the US aging population rises. Most ISH in elderly hypertension. Most difficult to treat. Evidence is quite strong for treating ISH. SBP management must come before DBP reduction. Clinical studies demonstrate that lowering SBP lowers cardiovascular and renal disease more than keeping SBP uncontrolled. Prioritizing elderly SBP management is necessary.

Gambaran perilaku kesehatan masyarakat  Kelurahan Nambo Kota Kendari di awal pandemi COVID-19 yang terkait dengan risiko penulran COVID-19 belum sepenuhnya baik karena disaat sakit tidak memilih fasilitas kesehatan sebagai tempat berobat, akan tetapi masyarakat di daerah peisir Kelurahan Nambo Kota Kendari sudah tidak mengunjungi fasilitas kesehatan jika tidak ada keluhan dan tidak melalukukan perjaalanan ke luar daerah diawal mas pandemi COVID-19 demi untuk mencegah penyebaran COVID-19. Oleh karena itu masih perlu upaya dari instansi terkait seperti puskesmas dan dinas kesehatan melakukan penyuluhan agar masyarakat mau memilih fasilitas kesehatan untuk berobat

Several oomycete species are pathogenic to plants or animals, including
humans, and cause economic and environmental damage, nevertheless no
effective molecules against these pathogens are available. Dimethomorph
(DMM), is a fungicide with high activity against plant pathogenic
oomycetes used to control downy mildew. The current study aims at
developing a transversal approach and to do that, we evaluated: 1) the
effect of two concentrations of DMM on in vitro mycelial growth on
Saprolegnia and Pythium isolated from fish and aquatic
environment; 2) the effect of DMM on hyphal morphology of S.
parasitica and on the sporangia and hyphae of a P. viticola
strain using Scanning Electron Microscopy. Results indicated that radial
growth of Saprolegnia species was reduced at 50 and 100 mg/L of DMM
after 24h of incubation. For P. viticola at 50 mg/L sporangia are rarely
present with respect to the control and in 100 mg/L are not present at
all. Moreover, a SEM protocol was developed, and allowed to observe how
the fungicide induced changes at the morphological level in both
oomycete species.
Using eDNA to survey amphibians: Methods, applications, and challenges
Authors: Sun Xiaoxuan , Guo Ningning , Gao Jianan , Xiao Nengwen
Published: August 2023

In recent years, environmental DNA (eDNA) has received attention from
biologists due to its sensitivity, convenience, labor and material
efficiency, and lack of damage to organisms. The extensive application
of eDNA has opened avenues for the monitoring and biodiversity
assessment of amphibians, which are frequently small and difficult to
observe in the field, in areas such as biodiversity survey assessment
and detection of specific, rare and endangered, or alien invasive
species. However, the accuracy of eDNA can be influenced by factors such
as ambient temperature, pH, and false positives or false negatives,
which makes eDNA an adjunctive tool rather than a replacement for
traditional surveys. This review provides a concise overview of the eDNA
method and its workflow, summarizes the differences between applying
eDNA for detecting amphibians and other organisms, reviews the research
progress in eDNA technology for amphibian monitoring, identifies factors
influencing detection efficiency, and discusses the challenges and
prospects of eDNA. It aims to serve as a reference for future research
on the application of eDNA in amphibian detection.

Functional Fish: Improving Nutrition for the Elderly
Authors: G Lippe
Published: August 2023

Elder people need highly digestible foods that can also provide health benefits even to those suffering from chronic diseases. Furthermore, such foods should be palatable as well as familiar for elder consumers. Fish is a high-protein, low-fat food that potentially provides a range of health promoting effects which may be further improved with suitable approaches in the production systems. The present mini-review intends to report possible aquaculture interventions to enhance the positive impact of fish on elder health and to promote its function in terms of prevention and recovery of specific diseases. Some fish species during their lifespan experience periods of food restrictions that can be mimicked in aquaculture without affecting fish welfare. Under these circumstances fish can modify the fatty acid profile and increase the use of muscle proteins to fulfill their energy requirements, by activation of muscle endogenous proteases. Degradation of muscle proteins can enhance their digestibility and possibly the release of encrypted bioactive peptides, showing a plethora of biological actions, including the antihypertensive activity. The degree of myofibrillar protein degradation and the fatty acid profile of fish fillet can then be managed by suitable and sustainable feeding protocols in the context of farming conditions.
