Abstract
Background
Prevention of antenatal and postnatal depression is crucial, given its high prevalence and severe consequences. Although several systematic reviews and meta-analyses have examined the effects of psychological interventions on the population at risk for perinatal depression, few studies have focused on universal prevention and none have focused specifically on universal prevention in pregnancy. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of psychological interventions with a universal prevention focus on perinatal depression during pregnancy by performing a systematic review and meta-analysis based on both the latest articles and a broader literature search.

Methods
The literature search will be conducted using the Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials (CENTRAL), Embase, PubMed and PsycINFO, from inception onwards. Randomized controlled trials that examined the association between psychological interventions and universal prevention of antenatal and postnatal depression among pregnant women will be included. Study selection, data collection, quality assessment, and statistical syntheses will be conducted following a priori defined methods in the protocol.

Discussion
The findings of this systematic review and meta-analysis will have both clinical and political importance in the context of perinatal mental health. In addition, this study will promote future studies and clarify the direction of research on universal prevention of perinatal depression.

Numerical approximation for the solution of linear sixth order boundary value problems by cubic B-spline
Authors: Khalid A. , Naeem M. N. , Agarwal P. , Ghaffar A. , Ullah Z. , Jain S. 
Published: December 2019

AbstractIn the current paper, authors proposed a computational model based on the cubic B-spline method to solve linear 6th order BVPs arising in astrophysics. The prescribed method transforms the boundary problem to a system of linear equations. The algorithm we are going to develop in this paper is not only simply the approximation solution of the 6th order BVPs using cubic B-spline, but it also describes the estimated derivatives of 1st order to 6th order of the analytic solution at the same time. This novel technique has lesser computational cost than numerous other techniques and is second order convergent. To show the efficiency of the proposed method, four numerical examples have been tested. The results are described using error tables and graphs and are compared with the results existing in the literature.
Emotion classification based on brain wave: a survey
Authors: Li Ting-Mei , Chao Han-Chieh , Zhang Jianming 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Brain wave emotion analysis is the most novel method of emotion analysis at present. With the progress of brain science, it is found that human emotions are produced by the brain. As a result, many brain-wave emotion related applications appear. However, the analysis of brain wave emotion improves the difficulty of analysis because of the complexity of human emotion. Many researchers used different classification methods and proposed methods for the classification of brain wave emotions. In this paper, we investigate the existing methods of brain wave emotion classification and describe various classification methods.

Abstract
Background
It has been estimated that approximately 15% of people who are incarcerated in the US have histories of opioid use disorder. Relapse to opioid use after release from prison poses a serious risk of HIV infection. Prison-initiated buprenorphine may help to reduce HIV infection given the association between opioid use and HIV-risk behaviors.

Methods
The present study is a secondary analysis of longitudinal data gathered from a randomized controlled trial of buprenorphine-naloxone for people who were incarcerated (N = 211) between 2008 and 2012. It compares the impact of assignment to initiate buprenorphine in prison (N = 106 randomized, N = 104 analyzed) versus in the community (N = 107 randomized, N = 107 analyzed) and whether or not participants entered community treatment on the frequency of HIV-risk behaviors in the 12 months following release from prison. Data were analyzed hierarchically and for each outcome variable, a multilevel, over-dispersed Poisson model was fit to the data. Outcome variables were the number of times the following behaviors occurred in the last 30 days: (1) having sex without a condom (2) injecting drugs (3) using unsterilized needles, and (4) sharing injection paraphernalia.

Results
Participants assigned to begin buprenorphine in the community experienced a greater decrease in injection drug use over time compared to participants assigned to begin buprenorphine in prison. There were no significant associations between treatment assignment or community treatment entry and instances of having sex without a condom, sharing injection paraphernalia, or using unsterilized needles.

Conclusions
Overall, the present study did not find support for the initiation of buprenorphine in prison (as opposed to the community) as a means to reduce incidences of HIV-risk behaviors. Avenues for future research in the nexus of HIV-risk reduction, criminal justice, and pharmacotherapy are discussed.

Authors: Gandomi Abolfazl , Reshadi Midia , Movaghar Ali , Khademzadeh Ahmad 
Published: December 2019

AbstractDue to the advent of new technologies, devices, and communication tools such as social networking sites, the amount of data produced by mankind is growing rapidly every year. Big data is a collection of large datasets that cannot be processed using traditional computing techniques. MapReduce has been introduced to solve large-data computational problems. It is specifically designed to run on commodity hardware, and it depends on dividing and conquering principles. Nowadays, the focus of researchers has shifted towards Hadoop MapReduce. One of the most outstanding characteristics of MapReduce is data locality-aware scheduling. Data locality-aware scheduler is a further efficient solution to optimize one or a set of performance metrics such as data locality, energy consumption and job completion time. Similar to all situations, time and scheduling are the most important aspects of the MapReduce framework. Therefore, many scheduling algorithms have been proposed in the past decades. The main ideas of these algorithms are increasing data locality rate and decreasing the response and completion time. In this paper, a new hybrid scheduling algorithm has been proposed, which uses dynamic priority and localization ID techniques and focuses on increasing data locality rate and decreasing completion time. The proposed algorithm was evaluated and compared with Hadoop default schedulers (FIFO, Fair), by running concurrent workloads consisting of Wordcount and Terasort benchmarks. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is faster than FIFO and Fair scheduling, achieves higher data locality rate and avoids wasting resources.
Differences in prevalence of hypertension subtypes according to the 2018 Korean Society of Hypertension and 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines: The Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2007–2017 (KNHANES IV-VII)

Published: December 2019

AbstractBackgroundThe significance of high systolic and diastolic blood pressure remains controversial. We assessed the differences in prevalence of hypertension and its subtypes according to the different hypertension diagnostic criteria embodied by the 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (2017 ACC/AHA) and 2018 Korean Society of Hypertension (2018 KSH) guidelines.MethodsWe used the 2007–2017 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) data to calculate guideline-specific hypertension prevalence among untreated, adult participants. By the 2017 ACC/AHA guideline, a mean SBP ≥130 mmHg, DBP ≥80 mmHg, or currently using antihypertensive medications were considered to have hypertension. Isolated diastolic hypertension (IDH) was defined as DBP ≥80 mmHg and SBP <130 mmHg, isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) as SBP ≥130 mmHg and DBP <80 mmHg, and systolic diastolic hypertension (SDH) as SBP ≥130 mmHg and DBP ≥80 mmHg. In a similar manner, by the 2018 KSH guideline, all hypertension and its subtype prevalence were calculated using the 140/90 mmHg cutoff. The two versions of all hypertension and its corresponding subtype prevalence were calculated among all study participants and separately by sex and age then compared via analysis of variance.ResultsThe prevalence of all hypertension increased from 25.9% (95% confidence interval (CI) 25.4–26.5) defined by the 2018 KSH guideline to 46.3% (95% CI 45.6–46.9) classified by the 2017 ACC/AHA guideline. Such increase was primarily manifested through substantial increase in IDH prevalence, from 5.2% (95% CI 4.9–5.4) defined by the 2018 KSH guideline to 17.9% (95% CI 17.4–18.3) defined by the 2017 ACC/AHA guideline, and was most notably observed in young age groups, 30-49 years. ISH prevalence showed minimal differences. SDH prevalence moderately increased from 3.5% (95% CI 3.3–3.7) defined by the 2018 KSH guideline to 11.1% (95% CI 10.7–11.4) defined by the 2017 ACC/AHA guideline, achieved primarily among participants aged 50 years or above.ConclusionsChanges in each subtype prevalence made differential contribution to additionally classified hypertension cases by the 2017 ACC/AHA guideline. Future studies should investigate the diastolic-associated cardiovascular risks and benefits of its long-term primary prevention in the young population.
Relationship between interest and mathematics performance in a technology-enhanced learning context in Malaysia
Authors: Wong Shu Ling , Wong Su Luan 
Published: December 2019

AbstractThe primary aim of this preliminary study is to examine a possible association between interest and mathematics performance among Malaysian students in a technology-enhanced learning environment. The Mathematics Interest Inventory was administered to 40 students to measure students’ interest towards mathematics, while a mathematics test was used to measure students’ mathematics performance. Results of the descriptive statistical analyses revealed that the students were relatively interested in mathematics. Correlational analyses showed that interest was not significantly correlated to mathematics performance among the students. Nevertheless, a significant relationship between interest and mathematics performance was found among students who had lower mathematics performance. The findings of this study pointed to the importance of igniting interest among students with lower mathematics performance given its strong link to mathematics performance. The Interest-Driven Creator theory served as an anchor in the theoretical framework of the study and it was discussed within the context of mathematics learning.
Potential activities of Bacillus simplex as a biocontrol agent against root rot of Nigella sativa caused by Fusarium camptoceras
Authors: Al-Sman K. Mohamed , Abo-Elyousr Kamal , Eraky Amal , El-Zawahry Aida 
Published: December 2019

AbstractThis study aimed to investigate the impact of two isolates of Bacillus simplex (PHYB1 and PHYB9) for controlling the root rot disease of black cumin (Nigella sativa) caused by Fusarium camptoceras (PHYF1) under greenhouse and field conditions at Assiut Governorate, Egypt. The highest reduction percentage of infection (22.5%) was recorded by the treatment of PHYB1 as suspension than the control (60%). Both isolates of Bacillus spp. provided the root and foliar dry weight under greenhouse and seed production in the field. The results showed that the isolate PHYB1 as a formulation gave the highest impact in the root dry weight (0.28 g/plant), followed by PHYB9 (0.22 g/plant), with insignificant difference between them. PHYB9 suspension also provided the highest seed production (27.97 g/plant), whereas PHYB9 as a formulation gave the lowest (24.08 g/plant). Studies on the interaction between Bacillus spp. on F. camptoceras by scanning electron microscope (SEM) revealed that both caused a complete mycoparasitism on the fungal growth. The bacterial growth was seen to adhere and colonize the hyphae, resulting in hyphal tissue maceration. Therefore, the use of both isolates of Bacillus spp. to control root rot disease of black cumin under greenhouse and field conditions can be recommended.

Authors: de Carvalho Geisiane Rodrigues , de Oliveira Elenderjane Andrade , Rocha Vitor Tigre Martins , Pereira Daniele Sirineu , Pereira Leani Souza Máximo 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Background
The World Health Organization reports that one of the main incapacitating conditions in older adults is osteomusculoskeletal disorders, and among these is low back pain. There are few instruments translated and transculturally adapted with psychometric properties evaluated for older adults with this health condition in Brazil. The Pain Response to Activity and Positioning (PRAP) questionnaire enables classification of older adults through functional performance. The objective of this study was to perform a cross-cultural adaptation and verify the reliability of the PRAP for older Brazilian people with chronic low back pain.

Methods
A cross-sectional methodological study from the international study “Back Complaints in the Elders”. We included individuals aged ≥60 years, with chronic lumbar pain complaints lasting ≥3 months. The transcultural translation and adaptation process followed the criteria proposed by Beaton and Guilhemeim, 1993. Reliability was tested using an unweighted Cohen’s Kappa.

Results
Thirty-six (36) older adults participated in the study (71.15 ± 7.23 years, 94.4% female). The intra-rater reliability for Low Back Pain (LBP) was between 0.50–1.00 and 0.23–0.84 for lower limbs, while the inter-rater reliability for LBP was between 0.25–0.63 and between 0.18–0.53 for lower limbs. The criteria for low back pain diagnosis showed intra and inter-rater agreement of 0.52 and 0.47, respectively.

Conclusion
The Brazilian version of the instrument showed adequate reliability and ability to classify older adults in the diagnosis of LBP by reporting the performance of daily activities, and is indicated for use in the context of research and clinical practice.

Trial registration
There is no trial registration. This is a methodological study.
Lumbar spine Schmorl's nodes; prevalence in adults with back pain, and their relation to vertebral endplate degeneration
Authors: Sadiq Israa Mohammed 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Background
In 1927, Schmorl described a focal herniation of disc material into the adjacent vertebral body through a defect in the endplate, named as Schmorl’s node (SN). The aim of the study is to reveal the prevalence and distribution of Schmorl’s nodes (SNs) in the lumbar spine and their relation to disc degeneration disease in Kirkuk city population.

Results
A cross-sectional analytic study was done for 324 adults (206 females and 118 males) with lower back pain evaluated as physician requests by lumbosacral MRI at the Azadi Teaching Hospital, Kirkuk city, Iraq. The demographic criteria of the study sample were 20–71 years old, 56–120 kg weight, and 150–181 cm height. SNs were seen in 72 patients (22%). Males were affected significantly more than the females (28.8% vs. 18.8%, P = 0.03). SNs were most significantly affecting older age groups. L1–L2 was the most affected disc level (23.6%) and the least was L5–S1 (8.3%). There was neither a significant relationship between SN and different disc degeneration scores (P = 0.76) nor with disc herniation (P = 0.62, OR = 1.4), but there was a significant relation (P = 0.00001, OR = 7.9) with MC.

Conclusion
SN is a frequent finding in adults’ lumbar spine MRI, especially in males; it is related to vertebral endplate bony pathology rather than discal pathology.
On proton charge radius definition
Authors: Trinhammer Ole L. , Bohr Henrik G. 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
We find a relation for the proton charge radius in closed form. The result 0.841235641(10) fm agrees with determinations from muonic hydrogen. Our relation is based on a mapping from an intrinsic configuration space for the proton to the observed size in laboratory experiments. The torus of the configuration space leads to periodic potentials in dynamical toroidal angles with the proton charge radius as a scale parameter in the mapping to laboratory space. The periodic potentials allow the introduction of Bloch phase factors which open for period doublings in the wave function. The opening of Bloch degrees of freedom is mediated by the Higgs mechanism. Thus, we find that pi times the proton charge radius equals twice the proton Compton wavelength.
The Causal Relationship of Circulating Triglyceride and Glycated Hemoglobin: A Mendelian Randomization Study
Authors: Hsiung Chia-Ni , Chang Yi-Cheng , Lin Chien-Wei , Chang Chia-Wei , Chou Wen-Cheng , Chu Hou-Wei , Su Ming-Wei , Wu Pei-Ei , Shen Chen-Yang 
Published: December 2019

Abstract

Context
The association between circulating triglyceride (TG) and glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), a biomarker for type 2 diabetes, has been widely addressed, but the causal direction of the relationship is still ambiguous.

Objective
To confirm the causal relationship between TG and HbA1c by using bidirectional and 2-step Mendelian randomization (MR) approaches.

Methods
We carried out a bidirectional MR approach using the summarized results from the public database to examine any potential causal effects between serum TG and HbA1c in 16 000 individuals of the Taiwan Biobank cohort. We used the MR estimate and the MR inverse variance–weighted method to reveal that relationship between TG and HbA1c. To further determine whether the DNA methylation at specific sequences mediate the causal pathway between TG and HbA1c, using the 2-step MR approach.

Results
We identified that a single-unit increase in TG measured via log transformation of mg/dL data was associated with a significant increase of 10 units of HbA1c (95% CI = 1.05−18.95, P = 0.029). In contrast, the genetic determinants of HbA1c do not contribute to the amount of circulating TG (beta = 1.75, 95% CI = –11.50 to 14.90). Sensitivity analyses, included the weighted-median approach and MR-Egger regression, were performed to confirm no pleiotropic effect among these instrumental variables. Furthermore, we identified the genetic variant, rs1823200, is associated with both methylation of the CpG site adjacent to CADPS gene and HbA1c level.

Conclusion
Our study suggests that higher circulating TG can have an affect on genomic methylation status, ultimately causing elevated level of circulating HbA1c.
Crime, Politics, and the Future of India's Democracy

Published: December 2019

Abstract
The review essays by Sunila S. Kale, Sandipto Dasgupta, and Michael J. Watts on Milan Vaishnav's When Crime Pays: Money and Muscle in Indian Politics and Steven Pierce's Moral Economies of Corruption: State Formation and Political Culture in Nigeria raise a number of theoretically interesting questions about corruption, criminality, and their historical embeddedness. In particular, they force a rethinking of the commonly accepted notion that in many contexts the state, far from being seen as the remedy to citizens' core grievances, is the very source of the grievance to begin with. Paradoxically, elected representatives who helm the state apparatus are often the only actors with the authority and delegated powers to reform the state, something that they have few incentives to do.
Reprogramming: identifying the mechanisms that safeguard cell identity
Authors: Brumbaugh Justin , Di Stefano Bruno , Hochedlinger Konrad 
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT
Development and homeostasis rely upon concerted regulatory pathways to establish the specialized cell types needed for tissue function. Once a cell type is specified, the processes that restrict and maintain cell fate are equally important in ensuring tissue integrity. Over the past decade, several approaches to experimentally reprogram cell fate have emerged. Importantly, efforts to improve and understand these approaches have uncovered novel molecular determinants that reinforce lineage commitment and help resist cell fate changes. In this Review, we summarize recent studies that have provided insights into the various chromatin factors, post-transcriptional processes and features of genomic organization that safeguard cell identity in the context of reprogramming to pluripotency. We also highlight how these factors function in other experimental, physiological and pathological cell fate transitions, including direct lineage conversion, pluripotency-to-totipotency reversion and cancer.
Awakening the regenerative potential of the mammalian retina
Authors: Martin James F. , Poché Ross A. 
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT
As with all glial cells, the major role of retinal Müller glia (MG) is to provide essential neuronal support. However, the MG of some non-mammalian species have the additional ability to generate new retinal neurons capable of sight restoration. Unfortunately, mammalian MG do not possess this ability. However, if we could understand the reasons why, we may be able to devise strategies to confer regenerative potential. The recent discovery that the Hippo signaling pathway acts as an intrinsic block to mammalian MG proliferation, along with reports of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based MG reprogramming and functional photoreceptor differentiation, may indicate a watershed moment in the field of mammalian retinal regeneration. However, as researchers delve deeper into the cellular and molecular mechanisms, and further refine MG reprogramming strategies, we should recall past misinterpretations of data in this field and proceed with caution. Here, we provide a summary of these emerging data and a discussion of technical concerns specific to AAV-mediated reprogramming experiments that must be addressed in order for the field to move forward.
