Published: February 2025

IntroductionHomelessness among women of reproductive age is a global problem. Several unique gender-based issues affect homeless women’s well-being, including reproductive health issues, their homelessness experiences, and a high rate of sexual violence. In this study, we aimed to describe women’s experiences of street homelessness in their own terms and their suggestions to address their unmet needs.MethodsThis photovoice study draws on photos, focus group discussions, and semi-structured interviews. We conducted the study in collaboration with women in their reproductive years experiencing homelessness (n = 9). A total of 80 photos were taken, and 40 were chosen to be discussed in interviews and further focus group discussions. The participating women selected photographs, explained their significance, and codified them based on how they related to their lives. Data from these discussions were then analysed using a reflexive thematic approach.ResultsFour themes were developed from the data: (a) deprivation of basic needs; (b) experiencing dependency, shame, and seclusion while dealing with the burden of street life; (c) the vulnerability and neglect of children; and (d) being resilient to harsh conditions. In this study, women’s street life was characterised by numerous unfavourable aspects, including unmet needs, human rights violations, social exclusions, substance use, and child protection issues. Participants provided suggestions for change and confirmed their belief that adequate housing represents one of the most urgent unmet basic needs of people experiencing homelessness. They also emphasised the critical need for employment opportunities, non-discriminatory provision of social support, treatment programs for substance misuse, and legal and social protection.ConclusionThis study contributes to understanding how women experiencing homelessness describe and articulate their living circumstances and what they perceive needs to be addressed. Based on participants’ proposal for change, comprehensive services are needed to address women’s multifaceted issues. However, the mitigation strategies and long-term effects of women’s homelessness require further research.

ObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate the epidemiological characteristics and risk factors associated with human psittacosis in Hangzhou city, eastern China.MethodsThe human psittacosis data from 2021 to 2024 were obtained from the China information system for diseases control and prevention infectious disease surveillance system. Epidemiological investigations were carried out on the patients' past medical history, clinical manifestations, chest CT results and treatment status. A community-based 1:3 matched case-control study was performed to investigate the risk factors associated with Chlamydia psittaci infection.ResultsDuring the study period, 137 confirmed cases of human psittacosis were identified through laboratory tests, of which 24 (17.52%) were classified as critical cases, including one fatality. The epidemic curve indicated that the majority of cases occurred between October and March. Among the cases, 48.91% were female, and the median age was 63 years. There were more female cases among those aged &lt;60 years, while there were more male cases among those aged ≥60 years. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the presence of bird habitats within 500 m of the living area [odds ratio (OR) = 3.81, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.19–6.61], parrots kept (OR = 2.95, 95%CI = 1.10–7.89) and poultry kept (OR = 2.15, 95%CI = 1.02–4.53) remained significantly associated with the risk of disease infection.ConclusionsHuman psittacosis has become a notable public health concern in Hangzhou city, with an increase in psittacosis cases reported in recent years. Exposure to poultry, birds, or environments contaminated with Chlamydia psittaci was associated with infection. Urgent actions to reduce psittacosis cases and mitigate the impact of outbreaks are needed, including strengthening surveillance, raising public awareness, and promoting collaboration between the agricultural and health sectors.
Using EEG technology to enhance performance measurement in physical education

Published: February 2025

IntroductionThe application of EEG technology in the context of school physical education offers a promising avenue to explore the neural mechanisms underlying the mental health symptom benefits of physical activity in adolescents. Current research methodologies in this domain primarily rely on behavioral and self-reported data, which ack the precision to capture the complex interplay between physical activity and cognitive-emotional outcomes. Traditional approaches often fail to provide real-time, objective insights into individual variations in mental health symptom responses.MethodsTo address these gaps, we propose an Adaptive Physical Education Optimization (APEO)model integrated with EEG analysis to monitor and optimize the mental health symptom impacts of physical education programs. APEO combines biomechanical modeling, engagement prediction through recurrent neural networks, and reinforcement learning to tailor physical activity interventions. By incorporating EEG data, our framework captured neural markers of emotional and cognitive states, enabling precise evaluation and personalized adjustments.Results and discussionPreliminary results indicate that our system enhances both engagement and mental health symptom outcomes, offering a scalable, data-driven solution to optimize adolescent mental wellbeing through physical education.

BackgroundInnovative strategies are essential to meet the World Health Organization's 90/70/90 cervical cancer elimination targets, aiming for 90% access to precancer treatment globally by 2030. In low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) where most cervical cancer cases occur, access to precancer treatment is severely limited. Scalable solutions like self-administered topical therapies can help close this gap. In a recent Phase I trial (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05362955), we demonstrated safety and adherence to self-administered intravaginal 5% 5-Fluorouracil (5FU) cream as an adjuvant therapy for cervical precancer among women living with HIV (WLWH) in rural Kenya. To understand women's experiences with self-administered 5FU, we evaluated the acceptability of this intervention among trial participants.MethodsAll 12 participants from the Phase I trial completed a structured questionnaire and in-depth semi-structured interviews in their preferred language, focusing on their experiences with 5FU self-administration, challenges faced, and overall acceptability of the intervention, including whether they would use it again or recommend it to someone who needed it. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. In the qualitative study, acceptability was defined as “the perception that a given treatment is agreeable, palatable, or satisfactory.” A thematic analysis was conducted using five dimensions of acceptability: content, complexity, comfort, delivery, and credibility.ResultsThe mean age was 43.9 years (SD 4.4), and seven (58%) had primary education or less. While some participants reported feelings of uncertainty when they started using 5FU, at the end of the study, all 12 participants strongly agreed that the cream was safe and were confident they used it correctly. Most participants (91.7%) experienced no discomfort with the vaginal applicator, and most reported using tampons overnight after 5FU use, as recommended. Qualitative findings revealed that favorable perceptions of self-administered 5FU were driven by its ease of use, the discrete nature of the treatment, and the comfort of home application. The main challenges included correctly measuring the study drug, finding a private place at home to self-administer, and the need to use condoms during treatment. Compared to their previous ablation or excision treatments, participants found 5FU to be less painful, and all would prefer a self-administered treatment instead of a procedure if it were an option.ConclusionSelf-administered intravaginal 5FU as an adjuvant treatment for cervical precancer among women living with HIV in Kenya was highly acceptable. Randomized studies of 5FU and other topical therapies in LMICs are needed to evaluate their use in closing the current precancer treatment gaps in these settings.

Published: February 2025

PurposeTo compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of Centerpiece plate and Arch plate fixation in cervical unilateral open-door laminoplasty.MethodsThis study included 102 patients who underwent cervical unilateral open-door laminoplasty with Centerpiece plate fixation (62 patients) or Arch plate fixation (40 patients) between September 2017 and September 2022. Clinical and radiological outcomes were evaluated.ResultsThere were no significant differences in operation time, blood loss, and lamina open angle between the two groups. Before surgery, the two groups had comparable Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scores and Pavlov's ratios. After surgery, the spinal drift distance and Pavlov ratio of the Centerpiece group were smaller than those of the Arch group. Both groups showed significant improvements in JOA scores after surgery and at the last follow-up compared to pre-surgery. At the final follow-up, the Centerpiece group's JOA scores and JOA score improvement rate were lower than those of the Arch group.ConclusionsBoth Centerpiece plate and Arch plate fixation can improve the patient's symptoms. Centerpiece plate fixation has a worse prognosis than Arch plate fixation in cervical unilateral open-door laminoplasty because the ventral prong in the Centerpiece plate may obstruct the spinal cord's backward movement.

Published: February 2025

Early detection and monitoring of invasive forest pests are crucial for effective pest management, particularly in preventing large-scale damage, reducing eradication costs, and improving overall control effectiveness. This study investigates the potential of machine learning models and remote sensing at various spatiotemporal scales to assess forest damage caused by the woodwasp Sirex noctilio in pine plantations. A Random Forest (RF) model was applied to analyze Planetscope satellite images of Sirex-affected areas in Neuquén, Argentina. The model’s results were validated through accuracy analysis and the Kappa method to ensure robustness. Our findings demonstrate that the RF model accurately classified Sirex damage levels, with classification accuracy improving progressively over time (overall accuracy of 87% for five severity categories and 98% for two severity categories). This allowed for a clearer distinction between healthy and Sirex-infested trees, as well as a more refined categorization of damage severity. This study highlights the potential of machine learning models to accurately assess tree health and quantify pest damage in plantation forests, offering valuable tools for large-scale pest monitoring.

Published: February 2025

Kafa>‘ah in Islamic law is the compatibility between men and women. Although it is not included in the valid requirements of marriage, it is important to pay attention to the concept of kafa>‘ah, which in this case is implicitly mentioned in the Qur'an. One of them is QS. An-Nur verse 26. It implies that a good woman will get a good man, and vice versa. This will be connected with what often happens among the habaib. Sharifah is not allowed to marry a non Sayyid. Kafa>ah how is meant in the verse when associated with this modern era. So this study will be studied about how the contextual meaning of QS. An-Nur verse 26 uses Abdullah Saeed's contextual interpretation. This type of research is library research (literature) and uses descriptive-analytical methods. It starts by explaining the meaning of kafa>‘ah, Abdullah Saeed's contextual interpretation theory, and applying the contextual theory to. This research reviews the meaning of kafa>‘ah in QS. An-Nur verse 26 with Abdullah Saeed's contextual approach. The results show that kafa>‘ah in marriage does not only include aspects of nasab, religion, morals, wealth, and position but also takes into account the feelings between partners. This allows them to understand, support, and appreciate each other in all aspects of life, facing trials and challenges together.

Financial ratios have weaknesses in assessing financial performance where good profit growth may not reflect good performance. Economic Value Added (EVA) is one of the relevant indicators in assessing financial performance. A good EVA indicates that the company is able to generate profits exceeding the cost of capital, so it can create added value for investors. The aim of this research is to examine the relationship between EVA and profit growth in consumer goods companies. The 57 selected companies have comprehensive financial reports for the period 2018 to 2022. The analysis was carried out using a quantitative descriptive approach to identify the influence between variables. The method used is linear regression using EViews software. Based on research findings, in terms of increasing profits, EVA has a positive but not significant effect. The coefficient of determination obtained is 3.34%, indicating that 3.34% of profit growth, can be explained by EVA. Meanwhile, profit growth of 96.66% was influenced by other factors. Companies and investors can consider the EVA value in making decisions and measuring the success of the company's future financial performance and maximizing profits.

Abstract
Nanodiamonds (NDs) are quantum sensors that enable local temperature measurements, taking advantage of their small size. Though model-based analysis methods have been used for ND quantum thermometry, their accuracy has yet to be thoroughly investigated. Here, we apply model-free machine learning with the Gaussian process regression (GPR) to ND quantum thermometry and compare its capabilities with the existing methods. We prove that GPR provides more robust results than them, even for a small number of data points and regardless of the data acquisition methods. This study extends the range of applications of ND quantum thermometry with machine learning.
Climate Change: The Urgent Need for Global Health Strategies to Counter Adverse Impacts on Human Health
Authors: Macnab Andrew John 
Published: February 2025

The environmental consequences of climate change have become a global health emergency. Reports and reviews continue to document multiple health impacts from increasing temperatures, rising sea levels and more frequent extreme weather events like severe drought, flooding and wildfires. The consequences of global warming on human health include heat-related morbidity and mortality, an increase in vector borne and infectious diseases, greater severity of respiratory diseases, adverse nutritional effects from food insecurity, higher rates of injury and multiple effects from financial, educational, social and psychological stressors. The extent to which climate change is impacting human health and lives is such that action by the public health community is urgently required to provide public education and define effective intervention, prevention and treatment strategies. Only in this way can the initiatives and policies be generated that are required to inform and engage everyone in society, and make people aware that action is needed to counter the dangers to health posed by climate change.
