Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe epidemiology of viral hepatitis (including HAV, HBV and HCV) among men who have sex with men (MSM) aged between 18 and 45 years and living in Lazio, an Italian Region with about 5.9 million inhabitants whose main city is Rome. METHODS A sero-survey (cross-sectional study) was conducted as part of a screening and prevention campaign for improving control of viral hepatitis in Lazio. The study enrolled 1,100 MSM people participating to the campaign. Outcome measures were serology for HAV (anti-HAV IgG and anti-HAV IgM), serology for HBV (anti-HBs, anti-HBc and HBsAg), and serology for HCV (anti-HCV). Participants’ epidemiological features were assessed for potential association with outcomes. RESULTS We found a very low prevalence of immunity against HAV and a significant exposure to high-risk behaviours, suggesting that gay community of Lazio is an ideal setting for HAV outbreaks. Prevalence of different serology profiles for HBV suggests that waning immunity and escape to mandatory vaccination still represent a significant issue in patients older than 35 years. Moreover, waning immunity suggests that patients who were vaccinated at birth may show low antibody levels. Consistently with other studies, prevalence of HCV infection was very low among young MSM. CONCLUSION Tailored vaccine programme aimed at immunizing MSM are critical to improve control of HAV in our setting. Findings on HBV epidemiology suggest that there is a need to define a clear strategy to recover patients who escaped vaccination and inform clinicians on the need to booster subjects with low immunity and high risk of exposure, such as MSM. Finally, MSM in Lazio do not represent a special group for HCV neither in terms of risk of infection nor in terms of potential issues for therapy access.
Improving Clinical Translation of Machine Learning Approaches Through Clinician-Tailored Visual Displays of Black Box Algorithms: Development and Validation
Authors: Wongvibulsin Shannon , Wu Katherine C , Zeger Scott L 
Published: February 2020

Background
Despite the promise of machine learning (ML) to inform individualized medical care, the clinical utility of ML in medicine has been limited by the minimal interpretability and black box nature of these algorithms.

Objective
The study aimed to demonstrate a general and simple framework for generating clinically relevant and interpretable visualizations of black box predictions to aid in the clinical translation of ML.

Methods
To obtain improved transparency of ML, simplified models and visual displays can be generated using common methods from clinical practice such as decision trees and effect plots. We illustrated the approach based on postprocessing of ML predictions, in this case random forest predictions, and applied the method to data from the Left Ventricular (LV) Structural Predictors of Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) Registry for individualized risk prediction of SCD, a leading cause of death.

Results
With the LV Structural Predictors of SCD Registry data, SCD risk predictions are obtained from a random forest algorithm that identifies the most important predictors, nonlinearities, and interactions among a large number of variables while naturally accounting for missing data. The black box predictions are postprocessed using classification and regression trees into a clinically relevant and interpretable visualization. The method also quantifies the relative importance of an individual or a combination of predictors. Several risk factors (heart failure hospitalization, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging indices, and serum concentration of systemic inflammation) can be clearly visualized as branch points of a decision tree to discriminate between low-, intermediate-, and high-risk patients.

Conclusions
Through a clinically important example, we illustrate a general and simple approach to increase the clinical translation of ML through clinician-tailored visual displays of results from black box algorithms. We illustrate this general model-agnostic framework by applying it to SCD risk prediction. Although we illustrate the methods using SCD prediction with random forest, the methods presented are applicable more broadly to improving the clinical translation of ML, regardless of the specific ML algorithm or clinical application. As any trained predictive model can be summarized in this manner to a prespecified level of precision, we encourage the use of simplified visual displays as an adjunct to the complex predictive model. Overall, this framework can allow clinicians to peek inside the black box and develop a deeper understanding of the most important features from a model to gain trust in the predictions and confidence in applying them to clinical care.
Online Interventions for the Selective Prevention of Illicit Drug Use in Young Drug Users: Exploratory Study
Authors: Tomazic Tina , Jerkovic Olivera Stanojevic 
Published: February 2020

Background
Digital technologies have a major impact on the daily lives of young people and are also used to seek information on and help with drug-related issues online.

Objective
The aim of this article was to analyze current online interventions for young drug users in Slovenia, with the purpose of contributing to the development of guidelines and key recommendations for effective online interventions.

Methods
This study was part of the project Click for Support. We performed a keyword search, received input from national experts in the field of drug prevention, and conducted an assessment of recognized national online interventions through workshop-based discussions with the target group of 20 young drug users.

Results
The current online intervention services in Slovenia are satisfactory but are still not sufficiently recognized. The most important issues for young drug users were the design and functionality of the online intervention, presence of a clear structure, possibility of using it on smartphones, comprehensive and quick professional feedback, and data security. Playful elements and the ability to share (experiences) with other or former users were also recognized as important.

Conclusions
With effective online interventions, we can include more young drug users, facilitate access to a more affordable service, provide quick professional feedback on patterns of consumption, increase knowledge about the effects and consequences of drugs, and support the reduction or cessation of drug use. From the public health perspective, it is challenging to provide drug interventions broadly to the target group and, hence, decrease inequities.

Authors: Malviya Ashok Kumar , Bhargava Dr. Ajay 
Published: February 2020

Sea of Poppies is a historical novel based on human being's survive and fulfilment of dream. The novel is divided into three main parts, first one is land, second one is river and third one is sea, in which the whole novel is chronologically weave with the fulfilment of dream. The chief character in this novel is Deeti, a village married woman of India, who dreamed to travel in an ample vessel, quenched her desire in an unprecedented situation. One day, she saw a big ship sailing on the ocean, which she had never seen earlier even in her dream.
Sea of Poppies is a meditation in the guise of a novel, but such is the author's meticulousness in matters of research, and so firm is his grasp of the unexplored underbelly of the British Empire. Ghosh is the author of ten highly acclaimed works of fiction and non-fiction which include the booker- prize shortlisted Sea of Poppies. The novel, Sea of Poppies, told the history of Indian society, opened in 1838, on the eve of first opium war, the novel divided into three parts, Land, Water and Sea. The first part narrated the condition of the protagonist that made able to reach near the ship. The first part also described the economic and social states of the Indian society. The second part invited the characters to join the ship and being ready for their voyage to abroad. The third part, allowed the characters to sail for their new life in Mauritius.
Sea of Poppies, shows the chronicle of dreams through the eyes of an Indian village woman, named Deeti, in a different circumstances. The novel depicted the nascent desire of female protagonist, to fulfill her dream. She lived her life as a common Indian house lady, and left her village in an unpredicted situation that visualized the 19th and 20th century’s condition of Indian society. The novel, breaks the doors of caste description and colonialism, and reveals the new way of life, seeking freedom in a different condition.
Efecto de la distancia de plantación sobre la calidad de la pella y el rendimiento en dos híbridos de brócoli (Brassica oleracea var.Italica Plenk) en el Valle de Lerma (Salta)
Authors: Lozano Lelia , Tálamo Andrés , Artinian Ana Laura 
Published: February 2020

El brócoli es una hortaliza cuya producción y consumo deberían incentivarse por sus propiedades funcionales. Existen híbridos en Salta, y si bien para algunos se conocen aspectos de su calidad y rendimiento, no existe información sobre los efectos de distintos manejos culturales, tales como la distancia de plantación. El objetivo del trabajo fue evaluar si la distancia de plantación (15 y 30 cm) afecta la calidad de la cabeza y el rendimiento de los híbridos Formoso y Legacy. Éstos fueron sembrados el 14 de abril de 2016 en bandejas y trasplantados el 18 de mayo de 2016 en un diseño de parcelas divididas, registrándose distintas variables relacionadas con el crecimiento, calidad de las cabezas y rendimiento. El tiempo transcurrido hasta la formación de pella fue menor para Formoso (siendo más precoz que Legacy) y resultó independiente de la distancia de siembra. El número de floretes/pella no dependió de los híbridos ni de las distancias. La altura a pella fue mayor a 15 cm de distancia de trasplante solo para Formoso. El peso de las cabezas cosechadas fue mayor cuando se trasplantó a 30 cm, independientemente del híbrido. Finalmente, no se detectaron diferencias en rendimiento a las distancias comparadas. Debido a que una plantación a 15 cm insume más recursos y esfuerzos, y teniendo en cuenta que no mostró ser conveniente en cuanto al rendimiento, se recomienda plantar ambas variedades a 30 cm para maximizar el peso de las cabezas y satisfacer el deseo de los consumidores.
Influence of Couple Stresses and Thermophoresis on Free Convective Heat and Mass Transfer of Viscoelastic Fluid.
Authors: M. Eldabe N. T. , Ali Ahmed Refaie , Ali Shalaby Gamil 
Published: February 2020

A theoretical study has been developed to investigate the influence of thermophoresis and couple stresses on the steady flow of non-Newtonian fluid with free convective heat and mass transfer over a channel bounded by two permeable plates. The considered non-Newtonian fluid follows a viscoelastic model. The problem is modulated mathematically by a system of non-linear differential equations pertaining to describe the continuity, momentum, energy, and concentration. These equations involve the effects of viscous dissipation and chemical reaction. The numerical solutions of the dimensionless equations are found as a function of the physical parameters of this problem. The numerical formulas of the velocity (u), temperature Φ and concentration Θ as well as skin friction coefficient T*, Nusselt number(Nu) and Sherwood number(Sh) are computed. The physical parameter's effects of the problem on these formulas are described and illustrated graphically through some figures and tables. It is observed that any increase in the thermophoretic parameter T leads to reduce in velocity profiles as well as concentration layers. In contrast, the velocity increases with increasing the couple stresses inverse parameter.

Published: February 2020

Abstract

Background
Major depressive disorder (MDD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are the most common mental disorders following traumatic experiences. The aim of this study was to investigate the extent to which PTSD and depression co-occurred in Serbian general population at baseline and 1 year after the follow-up, as well as how this co-occurrence was associated with sociodemographic factors, personal distress, suicidality and quality of life.

Subjects and methods
The sample consisted of 159 subjects, who fulfilled the IES criteria for PTSD, and were taken from a larger sample of 640 participants, which was chosen by a random walk technique in five regions of the country affected by major trauma. The assessment was carried out by the following instruments: Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview 5 (MINI 5), Life Stressor Checklist-Revised (BSC-R), Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) and Manchester Short Assessment of Quality of Life Scale (MANSA). The follow-up study was carried out 1 year after the baseline.

Results
In the initial phase, PTSD was found in 100 out of 159 participants (62.9%), while 81 (51%) fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for MDD. Comorbidity of PTSD and depression was identified in 65 (40.9%) subjects of the sample. After 1 year, PTSD was found in 56 (35.2%) and MDD in 73 (45.9%) participants. Comorbidity of PTSD and depression in the follow-up phase was identified in 41 (25.8%) subjects of the sample. The subjects with comorbidity had significantly higher level of post-traumatic stress symptoms, general psychological distress as well as suicide risk and lower level of quality of life than participants with either condition alone.

Conclusion
PTSD–depression comorbidity is a common post-traumatic condition. Complex psychopathology, severity of symptoms and their consequences, both at individual and community levels, require attention to be paid to early diagnostics and treatment of affected persons.

Published: February 2020

Diabetes is a disease caused by an increase in blood glucose levels due to insulin secretion deficiency (type I diabetes) or impaired insulin activity (type II diabetes). More than 90% of people with this condition are diagnosed with type II diabetes. Due to the sharply prevalence of type 2 diabetes in recent years, the prognosis and early diagnosis of the disease have become even more important. In this study, a model for diagnosis of type II diabetes was developed using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) method. The execution of the Frequent Pattern Growth algorithm on medical data is difficult. Association rule-based classification is an interesting area focused that can be utilized for early diagnosis. The discretization phase is necessary to transform numerical characteristics. Pima Indians Diabetes Data Set is taken as an input. The execution time, a number of rules generation and the detection of outlier percentage are analyzed. The CFP-growth algorithm utilizes for finding frequent patterns where constructing the Minimum Item Support (MIS)-tree, CFP-array and producing frequent patterns from the MIS-tree. From the set of frequent itemsets found, create all the association rules that have confidence exceeding the minimum confidence. In this study, we aim to build a model that helps Physicians in predicting Diabetes early and accurately. Data were collected from the PIMA Indian data set. Consisted of 768 samples (268 diabetic and 500 non-diabetics). Levenberg-Marquardt back-propagation algorithm was used to train the network, and the accuracy of the prediction of whether a person is diabetics or not was 88.8%.
