Abstract
Background Scant information exists on Iranian women's protective behaviors mainly constant condom use. This seems prevalent among women with drug abuse problems. We aimed to investigate risky sexual behaviors (RSBs) and condom use barriers in Iranian female with substance use disorders (SUDs).Methods In our cross-sectional study, we recruited 300 women who sought treatments for their SUDs from outpatient drug free (ODF) and Methadone Maintenance Therapy (MMT) centers. We selected active centers in Tehran, Iran (N#6). We use three batteries including demographic questionnaire, the Risky Sexual Behavior Questionnaire (RSBQ), and the Condom Barriers Scale (CBS). The statistical software R, analysis of variance post hoc and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) logistic regression tests were used in data analysisFindings we recruited 300 women who sought treatments for their SUDs from outpatient drug free (ODF) and Methadone Maintenance Therapy (MMT) centers. We use three batteries including demographic questionnaire, the Risky Sexual Behavior Questionnaire (RSBQ), and the Condom Barriers Scale (CBS). Analysis of variance post hoc and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) logistic regression tests were used in data analysisConclusion RSBs was prevalent among our study population. Our results suggest that RSBs and condom use barriers are significantly interwoven. The condom use barriers were highly associated with the types of sexual encounters such as group sex or casual sexual relations than specific mean of sexual performance (i.e anal sex). Gender-specific SRB, STIs/HIV/AIDS prevention program is recommended for women with SUDs.

Abstract
Background: Methotrexate (MTX) is an antifolate agent which is widely used in clinic for treating malignancies, rheumatoid arthritis and ectopic pregnancy. As reported, MTX has side effects on gastrointestinal system, nervous system and reproductive system, while its potential damages on oocyte quality are still unclear. It is known that oocyte quality is essential for healthy conception and the forthcoming embryo development. Thus, this work studied the effects of MTX on the oocyte quality. Results: We established MTX model mice by single treatment with 5 mg/Kg MTX. Both morphological and molecular biology studies were performed to assess the in-vivo matured oocytes quality and to analyze the related mechanisms. The in-vivo matured oocytes from MTX-treated mice had poor in-vitro fertilization ability, and the resulting embryo formation rates and blastocyst quality were lower than the control group. We found that the in-vivo matured MTX-treated mouse oocytes displayed abnormal transcript expressions for genes of key enzymes in the folate cycles. MTX increased the rate of abnormal chromosome alignment and affected the regulation of chromosome separation via disrupting the spindle morphology and reducing the mRNA expressions of MAD2 and Sgo1. MTX reduced the DNA methylation levels in the in-vivo matured oocytes, and further studies showed that MTX altered the expressions of DNMT1 and DNMT 3b, and may also affect the levels of the methyl donor and its metabolite. Conclusions: MTX impaired the in-vivo matured mouse oocyte quality by disturbing folate metabolism and affecting chromosome stability and methylation modification.

Abstract
Background: Prolonging working careers is a key policy goal in Europe, but reaching this goal is complex. Occupational health services are in the best position to contribute towards prolonging working careers, through preventing illnesses that cause work disability and early pensions. Impacting on the trajectory between illness and work disability requires continuity of care, enabled through identifying those at risk and their follow-up. We aimed to determine whether a combined educational and electronic reminder system could improve the recording of patient primary healthcare visits and follow-up of patients at risk of work disability or with work related illnesses in occupational health care, and through this, to impact on sickness absence rates. Methods: This study is a pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial using medical record data. An occupational primary healthcare provider’s units in Finland were randomized into an intervention group consisting of both education and electronic reminders, and a control group with usual care using minimization methods. Data on patient visits were extracted from routine patient registers collected by Pihlajalinna Työterveys from 2015 to 2017. Process indicators were collected from the electronic system. Data were cleaned and analysed intention-to-treat using ANCOVA. Results: There was no significant difference between intervention and control sites in terms of sickness absences of different duration. Process indicators suggested that there was a change in physicians’ practice following the educational component of the intervention. Conclusion: Education with an electronic reminder can change physicians’ practice, but longer term follow-up is needed to determine whether this impacts on patients’ sickness absences.

Abstract
Background Rapid control of cholera outbreaks is a significant challenge in overpopulated urban areas. During late-2017, Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, experienced an increase in cholera cases that showed potential to spread throughout the city. A novel targeted water and hygiene response strategy was implemented to quickly stem the outbreak. Methods We describe the first implementation of the cluster grid response strategy carried out in the community during the cholera outbreak in Kinshasa, in which water and hygiene response activities targeted cholera case clusters. Interventions, which focused on emergency water supply, household water treatment and safe storage, home disinfection and hygiene promotion, were organized using a grid approach. We also performed a preliminary community trial study to assess the temporal pattern of the outbreak, before and after response interventions were implemented. Cholera surveillance databases from the Ministry of Health were analyzed to assess the spatiotemporal dynamics of the outbreak using epidemic curves and cartography. Results From January 2017 to November 2018, a total of 1,712 suspected cholera cases were reported in Kinshasa. During this period, the health zones most affected included Binza Météo, Limeté, Kokolo, Kintambo and Kingabwa. Following implementation of the response strategy, the weekly cholera case numbers in Binza Météo, Kintambo and Limeté decreased by an average of 57% in two weeks and 86% in four weeks. The total weekly case numbers throughout Kinshasa Province dropped by 71% at four weeks after the outbreak peak. Conclusion During the 2017-2018 period, Kinshasa experienced a sharp increase in cholera cases that showed potential to rapidly spread throughout the city. To contain the outbreak, water and hygiene response interventions targeted case households, nearby neighbors and public areas in case clusters using a grid approach. Following implementation of the response, the outbreak in Kinshasa was quickly brought under control. A similar approach may be useful to quickly interrupt cholera transmission in other urban settings.
A Localization Scheme for Underwater Acoustic Wireless Sensor Networks using AoA
Authors: Toky Archana , Singh Rishi P. , Das Sanjoy 
Published: December 2019

Background:
Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UWASNs) have been proposed for the hard oceanographic application where human efforts are not possible. In UWASNs localization is a challenging task due to unavailability of Global Positioning System (GPS), high propagation delay and the dynamic mobility of the sensor nodes due to ocean dynamics.

Objective:
To address the issues related to the localization of the sensors for the network deployed under water. This paper presents a localization scheme specially designed for UWASNs.

Methods:
In this paper, we propose a localization scheme using Angle-of-Arrival (AoA) technique
for UWASNs. The proposed localization scheme is divided into Angle estimation phase, Projection
Phase and Localization phase. The angle estimation phase estimations the angle of the signal arriving
at the sensors. The projection phase converts the 3-Dimensional localization problem in equivalent
2-Dimensional by projecting the sensor nodes to a virtual projection plane. In the localization
phase, the position of the sensor nodes is estimated based on the Angle-of-Arrival and distance
from neighboring nodes information.

Results:
The simulation result shows that the proposed scheme provides a high localization ratio and Localization coverage with less energy consumption.

Conclusion:
A distributed range-based localization scheme for UWASNs using AoA technique is presented. The localization scheme projects the sensor nodes to a virtual plane and calculates the angle of signals initiated by the reference nodes. The scheme provides a great success in node localization and network coverage.
Development and Evaluation of an HIV-Testing Intervention for Primary Care: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study

Published: December 2019

Background
Late diagnosis of HIV fosters HIV transmission and may lead to hidden HIV epidemics. In Belgium, mathematical modeling indicates a high prevalence of undiagnosed HIV infections among men who have sex with men of non-Belgian origin and among sub-Saharan African migrants. Promotion of HIV testing facilitates early diagnosis, but diagnostic opportunities are missed in primary care.

Objective
The intervention study aims to enhance provider-initiated HIV testing by GPs. This protocol presents the conceptual development, implementation, and evaluation of an HIV-testing intervention for Flemish general practitioners (GPs).

Methods
A mixed methods evaluation design is used. Guided by a simplified intervention mapping approach, an evidence-based intervention was developed in collaboration, guided by an interdisciplinary advisory board. The intervention consisted of an evidence-based tool (ie, “HIV-testing advice for primary care”) to support GPs in provider-initiated HIV testing. A modified stepped-wedge design compare two different intervention levels: (1) online dissemination of the HIV-testing advice and (2) dissemination with additional group-level training. Both conditions were compared against a control condition with no intervention. The effect of the intervention was measured using Poisson regression for national surveillance data. The primary outcome was the number of HIV diagnoses made by GPs. Secondary outcomes were HIV diagnoses among groups at risk for undiagnosed HIV, distribution of new diagnoses by CD4 cell count, number of HIV tests prescribed by GPs, and rate of new diagnoses by tests. To evaluate the intervention’s implementation, the GPs’ fidelity to the intervention and the intervention’s feasibility and acceptability by GPs were assessed through (web-based) surveys and in-depth telephone interviews.

Results
The study was funded in 2016 and ethically approved in January 2017. The implementation of the intervention started in January 2017 and ended in December 2018. Data was completed in October 2019 and was the starting point for the ongoing data analysis. The results are expected to be published in the second half of 2020.

Conclusions
Results of the intervention study will provide useful information on the intervention’s effectiveness among Flemish GPs and can inform further development of official testing guidelines. Limitations of this real-life intervention approach are potential spill-over effects, delay in access to surveillance data, and little detailed information on HIV-testing practices among GPs.

Uso de Internet, partidismo y movilización cognitiva

Published: December 2019

<p>El presente artículo analiza el vínculo entre Internet –fuente abundante de información– y el apego partidista, a partir de la evaluación de tres encuestas. Los autores encontraron que efectivamente los elementos se relacionan; sin embargo, ese vínculo está mediado por la edad, lo que relega a Internet a ser más un medio que un factor. Siendo así, y tomando en cuenta un enfoque psicológico del voto, se puede asumir que los ciudadanos están relativamente poco informados y que el apego partidista determina su conducta electoral. No obstante, ante el arribo de nuevas tecnologías de información, otras teorías suponen que los votantes son más racionales</p>

Este trabalho descreve a primeira ocorrência de um granito peraluminoso na região de Porto Alegre, denominado Granito São Geraldo. Neste estudo foram realizadas análises petrográficas (microscopia óptica e eletrônica) e de química mineral (microssonda eletrônica) em lâminas delgadas oriundas de testemunhos de sondagem. O granito apresenta textura equigranular hipidiomórfica média e composição que varia de sieno a monzogranítica. Sua mineralogia é constituída por K-feldspato (37-48 %), quartzo (17-33 %), plagioclásio (23-28 %), muscovita + biotita (7-11 %) e, subordinadamente (< 1 %), granada, zircão, monazita, apatita, ilmenita e magnetita. A biotita, de origem primária, apresenta teores de elementos maiores (e.g. Al, Fe e Mg) compatível com as de granitos peraluminosos. A muscovita em geral é magmática, com composição similar a dos granitos fortemente peraluminosos (e.g. teores de Al, Fe, Mg e Ti). Os teores de Or do K-feldspato (ortoclásio) variam entre 86-97 %. O plagioclásio é predominantemente oligoclásico, subordinadamente apresentando composição albítica. Teores elevados de espessartina da granada (26-32 %) sugerem uma origem magmática. A apatita (fluorapatita) apresenta teores de F entre 3,0-4,5 %. O caráter peraluminoso deste granito o difere de todos os granitos descritos na região de Porto Alegre. Sua composição é similar a dos granitos com duas micas que compõem a Suíte Cordilheira (Batólito Pelotas), a qual engloba a maioria dos granitos peraluminosos tipo-S, sintranscorrentes a zonas de cisalhamento transcorrentes dúcteis encontradas no domínio oriental do Cinturão Dom Feliciano.
El intento suicida en zonas rurales como un desafío a los modelos explicativos vigentes: discusión de una serie de casos
Authors: Troya Carlos , Tufiño Andrea , Herrera Diego , Tulcanaz Karina 
Published: December 2019

Introducción: Existen diversos modelos explicativos de suicidio que enfatizan factores de riesgo como la predisposición genética o la presencia de enfermedades de salud mental en la explicación etiológica de la intención suicida. El modelo de Grito de desesperanza/huida sería hasta el momento una versión que recoge de mejor manera las variables de la ruralidad. Se expone además un tercer modelo explicativo que se acerque al fenómeno de la intención suicida desde una visión integradora y comprensiva mediante el re-enmarque.
Objetivo: Aplicar a una misma serie de casos de intención suicida de zonas rurales en Ecuador los aspectos relevantes de los distintos modelos de explicación del suicidio y discriminar las diferencias que cada modelo presenta a fin de desarrollar herramientas de salud mental que puedan ser aplicadas.
Metodología: La investigación tuvo un primer componente cuantitativo descriptivo en el cual se aplicó un cuestionario a las historias clínicas que tuvieron diagnósticos médicos relacionados con intención suicida. Posteriormente se administró una entrevista semiestructurada a los participantes que accedieron a hacerlo. Finalmente se aplicó los diferentes modelos expuestos a la serie de casos.
Resultados: El cuestionario se aplicó a un total de 35 historias clínicas de 35 personas (n=35). El 63% (n = 22) fueron del sexo femenino, con respecto a la composición etaria cerca del 60% (n = 21) eran menores de 18 años. Una tercera parte (n = 11) de los participantes correspondieron en el estado civil “No solteros”. Todas las personas que fueron atendidas tuvieron fácil acceso al uso de agroquímicos; en el 91% de los casos en estudio el detonante fue una discusión familiar con sus padres o sus cónyuges.
Conclusiones: Se necesitan modelos de comprensión de la conducta o intención suicida que contengan las variables propias de las zonas rurales. Los modelos actuales permiten comprender la problemática de manera parcial y aún con los sesgos de la enfermedad mental como el factor más relevante. Lo cual no siempre será acertado en zonas rurales.

Published: December 2019

Penelitian ini didasari oleh jumlah partisipasi pemilih pemula pada pemilihan kepala daerah Kota Padang pada tahun 2018 yakni 64,05%, dimana angka ini berada dibawah target dari Komisi Pemiliham Umum Kota Padang atau persentase Komisi Pemilihan Umum nasional yakni 70% pada pilkada serentak yang dilaksanakan pada tahun 2018. Kota Padang juga berada pada tingkat terendah diantara kota/ kabupaten di Provinsi Sumatera Barat yang melaksanakan pilkada serentak. Alasan peneliti menjadikan pemilih pemula sebagai objek penelitian ini dikarenkan pemilih pemula rentan dimobilisasi dan pemilih pemula juga belum terlalu memahami bagaimana peran mereka saat pilkada selain memberikan hak suara pada pilkada Kota Padang tahun 2018.
Komisi Pemilihan Umum sendiri telah memberikan sosialisasi politik bak kepada masyarakat umum ataupun pemilih pemula. Penelitian ini bertujuan melihat apa pengaruh sosialisasi politik Komisi Pemilihan Umum Kota Padang terhadap partisipasi pemilih pemula saat pilkada Kota Padang pada tahun 2018.
Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode asosiatif dengan pendekatan kuantitatif. Responden dalam penelitian ini adalah pemilih pemula dengan rentan um 17-23 tahun yang ada di kota padang yang diambil menggunakan tekhnik stratified random sampling. Hasil dari penelitian ini menjelaskan bahwa sosialisasi politik yang dilakukan oleh Komisi Pemilihan Umum Kota Padang terhadap partisipasi pemilih pemula memiliki pengaruh yang siginifikan (58%).
Hak Istri Menolak Rujuk Perspektif Islam dan Gender
Authors: Rufaida Arini 
Published: December 2019

Abstract:
Studying the problems of women in various fields, especially marriage, always faces its own challenges. The lack of wife's rights in marriage gets some contradictions from a gender perspective. Did not rule out the possibility of connection with the wife's right to refuse reconciliation. This paper synergizes Islamic and gender perspectives on the issue of wife's right to refuse reconciliation. Efforts are being made to identify the shifts related to the classical fiqh formulation into a more egalitarian formulation according to the guidance of modern times. In addition, the next effort is to identify a new business of reasoning from the abstract domain to concrete rules. There are two steps that can be done, namely by analyzing the problem using the theory of equality and gender justice and the theory of maslahah from the perspective of several competent figures in their fields. From this, this paper confirms the similarity of perception between the aims of Islamic teachings (maqasid ash-shariâ€™ah) and gender equality and human rights, that is the right for anyone to consider everything that will be done as long as it brings benefit.
