The Spillover Effect of Fraudulent Reviews on Product Recommendations
Authors: Adamopoulos Panagiotis (Panos) 
Published: March 2024

As the prevalence of user-generated reviews has been growing, the pervasiveness of fraudulent reviews has been increasing as well. In an effort to alleviate the consequences of fraudulent reviews, platforms have been using machine-learning algorithms for fraudulent review detection. However, the current business practice of simply removing fraudulent reviews might not be sufficient, as even their temporary presence might forge spillover effects propagating through other shopping tools. In particular, we examine and discover the persistence of long-lasting significant adverse impact of fraudulent reviews through their propagation to recommender systems, even long after successfully detecting and removing all fraud incidents. We conduct additional analyses further examining the intensity and evolution of the spillover effect over time across different dimensions, such as the cost of the fraudulent activity, the effectiveness and timeliness of the detection algorithms, and the quality of products. The results illustrate the gravity of the identified effect and highlight that the current business practice of just removing the fraudulent reviews is insufficient in the presence of recommender systems, albeit potentially sufficient in their absence in the long run. Such findings are timely as they might inform current regulatory and policy discussions. Finally, we also design a simple remedy that can be easily introduced to collaborative filtering algorithms to debias the recommender systems and demonstrate its effectiveness in alleviating the impact of the identified spillover effect.

Impact of Covid -19 incidence rate and government-initiated risk communication measures on individual’s NPI practices
Authors: Tefera Yifokire , Kumie Abera , Hailemariam Damen , Wakuma Samson , Abegaz Teferi , Tamire Mulugeta , Yirsaw Shibabaw 
Published: March 2024

Background
Non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI) are the most widely recognized public health measures recognized globally to prevent the spread of Covid-19. NPIs’ effectiveness may depend on the type, combination of applied interventions, and the level of proper public compliance with the NPIs. The expected outcome of behavioural practices varies relative to the intervention duration.

Objectives
This study aimed to assess the trend of community compliance to NPI with Covid-19 incidence and government-initiated interventions, and its variation by residence and sociodemographic characteristics of people.

Methods
A weekly non-participatory field survey on individuals’ NPI practices was observed from the 41st epidemiological week of October 5th, 2020, to the 26th epidemiological week of July 4th, 2021, a total of 39 weeks. The survey covered all 14 regional and national capital cities in Ethiopia. Data collection for the three NPI behaviours (i.e., respiratory hygiene, hand hygiene, and physical distance) was managed weekly at eight public service locations using the Open Data Kit (ODK) tool. The Covid– 19 incidence data and public health measures information from August 3rd, 2020 to July 4th, 2021 were obtained from the Ethiopian Public Health Institute (EPHI).

Results
More than 180,000 individuals were observed for their NPI practice, with an average of 5,000 observations in a week. About 43% of the observations were made in Addis Ababa, 56% were male and 75% were middle age group (18–50 years). The overall level of NPI compliance was high at the beginning of the observation then peaked around the 13th– 15th epidemiological weeks then declined during the rest of the weeks. The peak NPI compliance periods followed the high Covid-19 death incidence and government-initiated intensive public health measures weeks. Respiratory hygiene had the highest compliance above 41% whereas hand hygiene was the lowest (4%). There was a significant difference between residents of the capital city and regional cities in their level of compliance with NPI. Females comply more than males, and individuals had increased NPI compliance at the bank service and workplaces compared to those in the transport services at P = 0.000.

Conclusion
An increased level of compliance with NPI was observed following intensive government-initiated Covid-19 prevention measures and an increased Covid-19 death incidence. Therefore, the intensity of government-initiated risk communication and public advocacy programs should be strengthened, possibly for similar respiratory disease pandemics in the future.

Published: March 2024

Background
Factors contributing to the development of hypertension exhibit significant variations across countries and regions. Our objective was to predict individuals at risk of developing hypertension within a 5-year period in a rural Middle Eastern area.

Methods
This longitudinal study utilized data from the Fasa Adults Cohort Study (FACS). The study initially included 10,118 participants aged 35–70 years in rural districts of Fasa, Iran, with a follow-up of 3,000 participants after 5 years using random sampling. A total of 160 variables were included in the machine learning (ML) models, and feature scaling and one-hot encoding were employed for data processing. Ten supervised ML algorithms were utilized, namely logistic regression (LR), support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), Gaussian naive Bayes (GNB), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), k-nearest neighbors (KNN), gradient boosting machine (GBM), extreme gradient boosting (XGB), cat boost (CAT), and light gradient boosting machine (LGBM). Hyperparameter tuning was performed using various combinations of hyperparameters to identify the optimal model. Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technology (SMOTE) was used to balance the training data, and feature selection was conducted using SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP).

Results
Out of 2,288 participants who met the criteria, 251 individuals (10.9%) were diagnosed with new hypertension. The LGBM model (determined to be the optimal model) with the top 30 features achieved an AUC of 0.67, an f1-score of 0.23, and an AUC-PR of 0.26. The top three predictors of hypertension were baseline systolic blood pressure (SBP), gender, and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), with AUCs of 0.66, 0.58, and 0.63, respectively. Hematuria in urine tests and family history of hypertension ranked fourth and fifth.

Conclusion
ML models have the potential to be valuable decision-making tools in evaluating the need for early lifestyle modification or medical intervention in individuals at risk of developing hypertension.

AbstractThis paper is concerned with the relationship between paradigms of explication and the practice of conceptual engineering. It defends three interrelated claims: First, the predominant functionalist attitude in the present debate on conceptual engineering is due to its roots in Carnapian explication, which identifies the explicandum with a precursor concept. Second, alternative metaphysical paradigms of explication locate the explicandum in a part of a concept-independent reality (‘field explication’, as I will call it). Third, field explication may be a better paradigm than Carnapian functionalism for certain instances of socio-political conceptual engineering. In these instances, we adjust our concepts to more adequately capture differences in our concept-independent (felt) reality. To demonstrate this, I will contrast the metaphysical to the functionalist paradigm concerning the example ofHeimat.
Experimental and numerical studies of ballistic resistance of hybrid sandwich composite body armor
Authors: Khalaf Waad Adnan , Hamzah Mohsin Noori 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Defense mechanisms remain important and indispensable due to the different types of pistols and ordnance besides many guns. Hybrid composite sandwich panels are an attractive focus because of their ingrained characteristics, such as high stuffiness and high energy absorption. Hybrid composite sandwich panels are among the most important in armoring various structures. Despite the high density of these panels, they have significant qualities that qualify them to be the first selection for use in armored vehicles or body armor. Recently, there have been several types of structures, and selecting the appropriate structure as armor against the projectiles is very important. The study subjected three samples to the ballistic impact test using a 7.62 × 39 mm bullet. The first sample, S1, consists of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)/epoxy, unfilled honeycomb core, Kevlar/epoxy, unfilled honeycomb core, Kevlar/epoxy, and UHMWPE/epoxy; the second sample, S2, comprises Kevlar/epoxy, unfilled honeycomb core, Kevlar/epoxy, unfilled honeycomb core, and UHMWPE/epoxy, and the third sample, S3, comprises Al2O3, Kevlar/epoxy, unfilled honeycomb core, carbon/epoxy, unfilled honeycomb core, and carbon/epoxy. ABAQUS software was used to evaluate the ballistic impact numerically, and after that, the study examined the same armor samples experimentally. The results manifested that only the armor S3 succeeded in stopping the bullet. This is attributed to the structure of the cores, which helps compress and accumulate the cells under the projectile. The speeds of the bullet after penetration (residual velocity; VR) were 748.5 and 715.3 m/s for S1 and S2 armors, respectively, where the back face signature for S3 was 1.5 mm, which is optimum and within the allowed range. The total energy absorption of these armors S1, S2, and S3 is 344.65, 539.04, and 2585.66 J. Furthermore, the highest deviation between numerical and experimental approaches is about 2.04% in the VR.

Enhanced Young-type inequalities utilizing Kantorovich approach for semidefinite matrices
Authors: Bani-Ahmad Feras , Rashid Mohammad Hussein Mohammad 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This article introduces new Young-type inequalities, leveraging the Kantorovich constant, by refining the original inequality. In addition, we present a range of norm-based inequalities applicable to positive semidefinite matrices, such as the Hilbert-Schmidt norm and the trace norm. The importance of these results lies in their dual significance: they hold inherent value on their own, and they also extend and build upon numerous established results within the existing literature.
Daniel and Revelation: Blasphemy in the Cosmic Conflict
Authors: Kuryliak Bohdan , Kuryliak Ihor 
Published: March 2024

AbstractStudies of blasphemy in the book of Revelation are usually discussed in isolation from the book of Daniel, which provides an incomplete picture of this topic. This article investigates the meaning of blasphemy in the books of Daniel and Revelation. We argue that these apocalyptic books often describe the actions of the forces of evil in the Cosmic Conflict as blasphemy. The human dimension of blasphemy is expressed in the actions of kings and people (Dan. 1-6; Rev. 2:9; 16:9, 11; 21), while the eschatological dimension of blasphemy is expressed in the actions of the Antichrist (Dan. 7-12; Rev. 13:1, 5, 6; 17:3). We argue that the book of Revelation repeats and furthers the theme of blasphemy articulated in the book of Daniel.
Stability analysis of thermosolutal convection in a rotating Navier–Stokes–Voigt fluid
Authors: Sharma Sweta , Sunil  , Sharma Poonam 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This work presents nonlinear and linear analyses of the rotating Navier–Stokes–Voigt fluid layer that is simultaneously heated and soluted from below, considering different boundary surfaces. The energy method is used to form the eigenvalue problem for nonlinear analysis, whereas the normal mode analysis is used for the linear analysis. The Rayleigh number is numerically calculated by employing the Galerkin technique. Both nonlinear and linear analyses yield the same Rayleigh number, indicating the absence of subcritical regions and implying global stability. The Kelvin–Voigt parameter doesn’t affect the Rayleigh number for stationary convection. However, the crucial role of this parameter is established through an energy argument. The presence of rotation, Kelvin–Voigt parameter, and solute gradient give rise to oscillatory modes. Also, the effects of rotation and solute gradient are stabilizing on the system, whereas the stabilizing effect of the Kelvin–Voigt parameter becomes evident when convection exhibits an oscillatory behavior.

OBJECTIVES
Antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) restrict prescribing practices to regulate antimicrobial use, increasing the risk of prescribing errors. This quality improvement project aimed to decrease the proportion of prescribing errors in ASP-restricted medications by standardizing workflow.

METHODS
The study took place on all inpatient units at a tertiary care children’s hospital between January 2020 and February 2022. Patients &lt;22 years old with an order for an ASP-restricted medication course were included. An interprofessional team used the Model for Improvement to design interventions targeted at reducing ASP-restricted medication prescribing errors. Plan–Do–Study–Act cycles included standardizing communication and medication review, implementing protocols, and developing electronic health record safety nets. The primary outcome was the proportion of ASP-restricted medication orders with a prescribing error. The secondary outcome was time between prescribing errors. Outcomes were plotted on control charts and analyzed for special cause variation. Outcomes were monitored for a 3-month sustainability period.

RESULTS
Nine-hundred ASP-restricted medication orders were included in the baseline period (January 2020–December 2020) and 1035 orders were included in the intervention period (January 2021–February 2022). The proportion of prescribing errors decreased from 10.9% to 4.6%, and special cause variation was observed in Feb 2021. Mean time between prescribing errors increased from 2.9 days to 8.5 days. These outcomes were sustained.

CONCLUSIONS
Quality improvement methods can be used to achieve a sustained reduction in the proportion of ASP-restricted medication orders with a prescribing error throughout an entire children’s hospital.
Global Burden of Tuberculosis in Adolescents and Young Adults: 1990–2019
Authors: Shang Weijing , Cao Guiying , Jing Wenzhan , Liu Jue , Liang Wannian , Liu Min 
Published: March 2024

OBJECTIVE
Tuberculosis (TB) is a major health threat in adolescents and young adults. However, its burden in this population remains unclear. This study aimed to assess TB burden and changing trends in individuals aged 10 to 24 years from 1990 to 2019.

METHODS
All data were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. We calculated the percentage of relative changes in incident cases, deaths, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). The temporal trends of the incidence, mortality, and DALYs were assessed using estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs).

RESULTS
At global level, TB incidence (per 100 000 population) decreased from 144.12 in 1990 to 97.56 in 2019, with average 1.28% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.36%–1.19%) of decline per year. Similar decreasing trends occurred across sex, age, sociodemographic index regions, and in most Global Burden of Disease study regions and countries. TB incidence in female adolescents decreased faster than that in male. However, there was an increasing trend in the incidence of extensively drug-resistant TB (EAPC = 11.23, 95% CI: 8.22–14.33) and multidrug-resistant TB without extensive drug resistance (EAPC = 3.28, 95% CI: 1.73–4.86). South Africa had the highest increase in TB incidence (EAPC = 3.51, 95% CI: 3.11–3.92).

CONCLUSIONS
Global TB incidence, mortality, and DALYs in adolescents and young adults decreased from 1990 to 2019. However, the incidence of drug-resistant TB increased. TB remains a threat in adolescents and young adults worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries.
The impossible return home of Lucius in Apuleius' Metamorphoses
Authors: Freyburger Gérard 
Published: March 2024

AbstractIn this paper I wish to analyze the impossible return home, namely that of Lucius in Book XI of Apuleius' Metamorphoses. Isis had decided that this would be so because she wished to wrest her new follower from the self-destructive passions he had developed in his home country, Corinth. She inspired him to leave his homeland and to make an initiatory voyage to Rome, where he would henceforth have to live as a perpetual exile among the priests of Isis (although he thereafter was safe from the evil passions he contracted in Corinth). I want to analyze this story. First of all, we will focus upon these passions which so beset Lucius in his homeland, then we will follow the voyage he took to Rome and finally we will see how he lives as an exile in Rome and, in conclusion, what are the benefits he obtains from his renunciation of a return to his homeland.
Encyclia naranjapatensis Dodson (Orchidaceae), a new record for the Peruvian flora
Authors: Ocupa-Horna Luis , Agurto-Palomino Kelly D. , Chorres-Arica Ayrtón , Tamayo-Cen Iván 
Published: March 2024

Background: Encyclia, is a genus with more than 200 species in the Neotropics, eight of which have been previously reported from Peru. During the evaluation of the orchid flora in the forests of the Sicchez district, a small population of an Encyclia species was found that could not be unequivocally matched to any previously known species in the country.
Questions: Will the recent explorations of Northern Peru result in the reporting of new taxa for the country?
Studied species: Orchidaceae, Laeliinae, Encyclia Hook, Encyclia naranjapatensis Dodson
Study site and dates: Sicchez District, Ayabaca Province, Piura Department, Peru, 2022-2023.
Methods: Specimens were collected and determined by consulting botanical collections available online, taxonomic treatments, checklists, and specialized literature. The conservation status was assessed according to IUCN methodology.
Results: We report a novelty for Peru, Encyclia naranjapatensis, and an updated description including morphological information on relevant structures that will be used to diagnose this entity. In addition, E. naranjapatensis is part of a basal clade referred to as the E. diurna species group. The conservation status assessment results in Endangered and the species is linked to the Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest, an endangered ecosystem throughout the Neotropics.
Conclusions: The recent entity located in Peru correspond to Encyclia naranjapatensis. This discovery allows us to investigate the geographical limits, discuss the phylogenetic and ecological affinities, update the original description, and evaluate its conservation status.
