“Attitude is the fifth delay”: perspectives of obstetric near-miss survivors and health care professionals on continuity and coordination of maternal care
Authors: Mulongo Samuel M. , Kaura Doreen , Mash Bob 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background
Fragmentation in maternal healthcare contributes to preventable maternal deaths. Improving continuity and coordination can mitigate this issue by influencing interactions among providers, interdisciplinary teams, and patient-provider relationships. The obstetric near-miss approach has the potential to offer insights into continuity and coordination in maternal health. The aim of this study was to explore the perspectives of near-miss survivors and health care professionals on continuity and coordination of care in a primary health care system in Uasin Ngishu region, Kenya.

Methods
This was a descriptive qualitative single case study. Data was collected through individual interviews, focus group discussions, and observation.

Results
Four deductively identified themes emerged: sequential coordination, continuity, parallel coordination, and access. Sequential coordination was influenced by antagonistic relationships between healthcare providers in primary care facilities and the main referral hospital. Longitudinal and interpersonal continuity were driven by positive interactions between women and healthcare providers, characterized by availability, willingness to listen, and addressing personal issues. Parallel coordination was affected by heavy workloads and ineffective task shifting within primary care facilities. Finally, access-related issues included accommodation strategies such as telephone hotlines for pregnant women, out-of-pocket payments for specialist consultation, and alternative referral pathways different from the formal pathways in the health system.

Conclusion
To promote continuity and coordination in primary health care for pregnant women, there is a need to focus on social competencies and skills among health care professionals providing obstetric care, encourage accommodation strategies in facilities, reduce or eliminate out-of-pocket payments for referred women, address attitude and professional conflicts among midwives at different levels in the referral pathway and address workloads and task shifting in primary care facilities.
Communicating physical activity messages with adolescents: what works? A scoping review with stakeholder consultation
Authors: Grady Caera L , Murtagh Elaine , Ng Kwok , Bengoechea Enrique García , Woods Catherine B 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background
Global levels of adolescents’ physical inactivity are cause for concern, despite the well-documented health benefits of physical activity (PA). Addressing the messaging of PA is one approach to improve PA knowledge. While increased knowledge does not necessarily lead to behavior change, physically active students have better knowledge of the health benefits of PA. Recently, researchers have highlighted the need for an effective communication strategy for PA messages. This review aimed to summarize the state of the available evidence about the operationalization of communicating PA messages, the evaluation, and effectiveness of PA messages.

Methods
The Levac six steps and Joanna Briggs Institute methodological guidance for scoping reviews were followed. Five databases were searched up until April 8th 2024. Both title and abstract and full-text screening were piloted whereby 10% of the total articles were double-screened and the remainder were completed by CG. Data were extracted and a data-based convergent synthesis design was used following qualitative synthesis methods. Finally, a consultation with key stakeholders was held to confirm the findings concerning practical relevance.

Results
A total of 19,412 articles were identified from searches, 94 full texts were included in the final analysis, corresponding to 80 individual studies. The evidence confirms that there are many factors to consider when communicating PA messages and evaluating their effectiveness. Inconsistencies exist regarding the timing and frequency of message delivery and the evaluation of effective communication. When communicating PA with adolescents, messages commonly focus on the benefits of PA and strategies to overcome barriers and are commonly delivered in the school setting by researchers or school stakeholders i.e. teachers, peers. Messages should be concise, positively framed, support adolescent autonomy, and utilize different messaging platforms and techniques to avoid staleness.

Conclusions
There is a lack of a standardized approach to communicating PA messages with adolescents making evaluation and comparison challenging. Future research should focus on developing guidance to facilitate the effective communication of PA messages with adolescents.

Abstract
In the domain of rotating machinery, bearings are vulnerable to different mechanical faults, including ball, inner, and outer race faults. Various techniques can be used in condition-based monitoring, from classical signal analysis to deep learning methods in diagnosing these faults. Based on the complex working conditions of rotary machines, multivariate statistical process control charts such as Hotelling’s

and Squared Prediction Error are useful for providing early warnings. However, these methods are rarely applied to condition monitoring of rotating machinery due to the univariate nature of the datasets. In the present paper, we propose a multivariate statistical process control-based fault detection method that utilizes multivariate data composed of Fourier transform features that are extracted for fixed-time batches. Our approach makes use of the multidimensional nature of Fourier transform characteristics, which record more detailed information about the machine’s status, in an effort to enhance early defect detection and diagnosis. Experiments with varying vibration measurement locations (Fan End, Drive End), fault types (ball, inner, and outer race faults), and motor loads (0–3 horsepower) are used to validate the suggested approach. The outcomes illustrate our method’s effectiveness in fault detection and point to possible wider uses in industrial maintenance.
A segregated reduced-order model of a pressure-based solver for turbulent compressible flows

Published: February 2025

Abstract
This article provides a reduced-order modelling framework for turbulent compressible flows discretized by the use of finite volume approaches. The basic idea behind this work is the construction of a reduced-order model capable of providing closely accurate solutions with respect to the high fidelity flow fields. Full-order solutions are often obtained through the use of segregated solvers (solution variables are solved one after another), employing slightly modified conservation laws so that they can be decoupled and then solved one at a time. Classical reduction architectures, on the contrary, rely on the Galerkin projection of a complete Navier–Stokes system to be projected all at once, causing a mild discrepancy with the high order solutions. This article relies on segregated reduced-order algorithms for the resolution of turbulent and compressible flows in the context of physical and geometrical parameters. At the full-order level turbulence is modeled using an eddy viscosity approach. Since there is a variety of different turbulence models for the approximation of this supplementary viscosity, one of the aims of this work is to provide a reduced-order model which is independent on this selection. This goal is reached by the application of hybrid methods where Navier–Stokes equations are projected in a standard way while the viscosity field is approximated by the use of data-driven interpolation methods or by the evaluation of a properly trained neural network. By exploiting the aforementioned expedients it is possible to predict accurate solutions with respect to the full-order problems characterized by high Reynolds numbers and elevated Mach numbers.
Pressure propagation during hydraulic stimulation: case study of the 2000 stimulation at Soultz-sous-Forêts
Authors: Javani Dariush , Schmittbuhl Jean , Cornet François 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Hydraulic stimulation of pre-existing fractures and faults plays a significant role in improving hydraulic conductivity of the fracture network around injection and production wells in deep geothermal reservoirs. In present work, a three-dimensional distinct element method (3DEC, Itasca) is used to simulate the year 2000 hydraulic stimulation of GPK2 well of Soultz-sous-Forêts geothermal reservoir, where several major hydraulic stimulations have been performed and are well documented. The field scale numerical model of the reservoir (about 6000 × 4500 × 4500 m3) includes an explicit description of the main fault (FZ4770), was developed to constrain the large-scale hydromechanical properties of the fault, in particular, its behavior in terms of non-linear elastic response related to fault aperture changes. The first phase of the stimulation is modelled as a constant flow rate of 30 ls−1 of water injection into the center of a deformable fault at the depth of approximately 4.7 km. We observed that the fluid pressure front migration from the injection point along the fracture follows, under the in-situ stress condition and the moderate injection pressure, a pseudo-diffusion behavior as power-law function of time with a 0.5 exponent (√t) when the injection flow rate is constant. It is demonstrated that the dynamic evolution of aperture opening due to fluid injection into the fracture is responsible for the pressure propagation behavior, owing to a hydraulic aperture change rather than a fluid pressure diffusion process. This numerically observed propagation process is compatible with a high fault effective diffusivity of 13 m2/s as that observed in the field. In case of a linear increase of the injection flow rate, the pseudo-diffusion process disappears leading to a time dependent power-law migration of the pressure front with exponent of 0.75. The pressure propagation is shown to be strongly influenced by the injection scheme.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background
Injury and illness prevention practices in competitive snow sports must be better understood among stakeholders. In particular, there is a need for a greater understanding of what context-specific stakeholders require for prevention. Therefore, this study surveyed stakeholders’ current practices, needs, responsibilities and knowledge dissemination preferences related to injury and illness prevention in competitive snow sports and described the main commonalities and differences between stakeholder groups.

Methods
We conducted a cross-sectional study that used an online survey developed using Kipling’s principle (the “5W1H” method) and targeted athletes, coaches, team staff, ski racing suppliers, and representatives from all competition levels and all competitive snow sports governed by the International Ski and Snowboard Federation. The data were analysed following both quantitative and qualitative descriptive analyses.

Results
Most of the 436 respondents believed in and reported needing more information on injury and illness prevention. The participants stated that the main goal of prevention was to avoid injuries and minimise their time away from being on snow, and they stressed their different underlying motivations. Despite the differences across subgroups, participants highlighted knee and head injuries and concussions as their primary injury prevention targets and priorities for additional information. Respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses were reported as their main targets of illness prevention, but more information on all illnesses was reported. Current practices and priorities for additional information fell under athlete-, equipment-, snow/environment-, and course-related prevention areas. Moreover, stakeholders highlighted their need for more information on mental health and training. Shared responsibilities were identified across the development, dissemination, and implementation of prevention, along with stakeholders’ preferred communication channels.

Conclusions
Our study provides meaningful insights across athlete, equipment-, snow/environment-, and course-related prevention areas related to snow sports, roles, and competition levels. These insights may inform the development, dissemination and further implementation of any tailored and context-driven preventive measure by better addressing end-users’ needs. These findings may support successful future preventive interventions by providing key elements and a clear path to improve athletes’ health and safety.

Platform Competition and Interoperability: The Net Fee Model
Authors: Ekmekci Mehmet , White Alexander , Wu Lingxuan 
Published: February 2025

Is more competition the key to mitigating dominance by large tech platforms? Could regulation of such markets be a better alternative? We study the effects of competition and interoperability regulation in platform markets. To do so, we propose an approach of competition in net fees, which is well-suited to situations in which users pay additional charges, after joining, for on-platform interactions. Compared with existing approaches, the net fee model expands the tractable scope to allow variable total demand, platform asymmetry, and merger analysis. Regarding competition, we find that adding more platforms to the market may lead to the emergence of a dominant firm. In contrast, we find that interoperability can play a key role in reducing market dominance and lowering prices. Broadly speaking, our results favor policy interventions that assure the formidability of the competition that dominant platforms face. This paper was accepted by Joshua Gans, business strategy.

How Do Domestic and Foreign Firms Respond to a Reduction in Competition from the Public Sector? Evidence from Vaccine Markets in India
Authors: Adbi Arzi , Mishra Anant , Chatterjee Chirantan 
Published: February 2025

This study examines how domestic and foreign firms in the private sector respond to a reduction in competition from the public sector. Our analysis exploits the sudden suspension of production licenses of vaccine-manufacturing public sector units (PSUs) in January 2008 in India, home to more than 1.2 billion people at that time. Although the suspension presented a window of opportunity for private sector firms, the opportunity was laden with high uncertainty. Despite this uncertainty, we find that the suspension was associated with revenue gains driven by new product introductions and that these gains persist even after the supply suspension revocation in February 2010. Importantly, unlike domestic firms, foreign firms gain little. We explore potential mechanisms and find evidence consistent with one of them being the major reason for the differing impact: Domestic firms better navigate the challenges arising from political pluralism, an institutional feature characterized by a lack of political alignment between national and subnational governments. In the presence of political alignment, domestic firms do not have a comparative advantage over foreign firms. Our evidence thus highlights that even an uncertain and transitory window of opportunity arising from a controversial reduction in competition from the public sector can lead to a fundamental market restructuring in ways that can diverge from the intended policy objective. In particular, domestic firms’ ability to manage political pluralism is a core mechanism explaining their comparative advantage over foreign firms in the wake of a national crisis.

Published: February 2025

Background: Specialised outpatient paediatric palliative care (SOPPC) is vital for young people with life-limiting conditions and telehealth integration might improve this care. Aim: Evaluate the acceptance and challenges of implementing teleconsultations among SOPPC healthcare professionals. Methods: A questionnaire, tailored to various professions in SOPPC, was developed. After pilot testing, it was distributed to all healthcare professionals in SOPPC in the county of Lower Saxony, Northern Germany. Statistical analyses, using descriptive methods, ensured the reliability of the findings. Findings: The survey involved 96 participants from SOPPC teams. Teleconsultations were perceived as time-saving (physicians (80%), nursing (68%), psychosocial varied), facilitating patient-centred discussions (physicians (87%), nursing staff (72%), psychosocial had varied responses) and maintaining intensive contact during restrictions (85% agreement). Improved team communication (91%) and patient-family communication (physicians (80%), nursing (68%), psychosocial (62%) were perceived benefits. Concerns included language barriers (84%) and technical readiness (80%). While physicians and nursing professionals saw telehealth enhancing patient safety (64–95%), psychosocial professionals were more skeptical (38–62%). Conclusion: This study highlights telehealth's potential in SOPPC, stressing the need for tailored strategies. While nursing staff and physicians generally accept telehealth, psychosocial professionals express reservations. Overcoming barriers like language and technical readiness is crucial for maximising telehealth benefits.
The organisation of evaluations: the influence of the ministry of finance on evaluation systems
Authors: Andersen Niklas A. , Pattyn Valérie 
Published: February 2025

Background:
Despite increasing scholarly interest in the organisation of evaluations within different countries’ political-administrative landscapes, not much attention has hitherto been paid to the consequences of a specific institutional set-up for the function of evaluations within government.

Aims and objectives:
This article investigates how the organisational anchorage of policy evaluations within central administration shapes the function those evaluations primarily serve.

Methods:
We focus on the role of ministries of finance for coordinating countries’ evaluation systems, and study its influence in Denmark and the Netherlands through a combination of document analysis and interviews with centrally placed civil servants.

Findings:
Our analysis shows how the ministries of finance come to influence the evaluation activities of the whole central administration by constituting a specific economic outlook on evaluation, which (1) narrows down the applied evaluation methods and criteria; (2) inserts the ministry of finance as primary evaluation user; and hereby (3) furthers accountability rather than learning as the main function of evaluations within central administration. In both countries, the result is that the ministry of finance’s main role in the evaluation systems favours somewhat defensive qualities, where evaluations are primarily used for control and piecemeal changes in policies, rather than fundamental revisions or reflections on the appropriateness of specific policies.

Discussion and conclusions:
Our findings indicate that the influence of evaluation systems is not only dependent on the degree of institutional anchorage of evaluation activities, but also very much a matter of whom the evaluation systems is centred around.
Spatial distributions and determinants of intimate partner violence among married women in Ethiopia across administrative zones
Authors: Fetene Meseret Tadesse , Adgeh Senait Cherie , Fenta Haile Mekonnen 
Published: February 2025

Background
Intimate partner violence (IPV) against women is highly prevalent in the world, especially in low-middle-income countries including Ethiopia. Studies so far assessing risk factors for IPV often use the classical model without geographical location information and spatial effects. This study aimed to estimate the overall prevalence and associated risk factors of intimate partner violence among Ethiopian administrative zones.

Method
The 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS) data were used. The primary outcome of the study was the experience of different types of IPV: physical, emotional, and sexual by ever-married women aged 15–49 years. We adopted a generalized multilevel mixed model with IPV as an outcome variable and zones as random effects.

Results
The prevalence of physical, emotional, and sexual violence in Ethiopia are respectively 20.38%, 22.31%, and 7.58%. The result indicated that 1,423 (30.15%) of respondents had experienced at least one of the three types of IPV. Women who had older age had more children, had lower decision-making power, and had a husband who was a drinker and had controlling behavior were more likely to experience any forms of IPV. Significant zone-wise spatial variations of IPV were also observed.

Conclusions
The distribution of IPV in married women varies among Ethiopian administrative zones. Several factors were associated with IPV, therefore, interventions targeting the hotspot areas and specific determinant factors should be implemented by the concerned bodies to reduce IPV among married women in the population.
