<p>As individuals age with HIV it is increasingly important to consider the health-related consequences of HIV and multiple morbidities, known as disability. We assessed relationships between four dimensions of disability among adults living with HIV. We conducted a structural equation modeling analysis using data from 913 participants in the Ontario HIV Treatment Network Cohort Study to determine relationships between four latent variables of disability in the <em>Episodic Disability Framework</em>: physical symptoms and impairments, mental health symptoms and impairments, difficulties with day-to-day activities, and challenges to social inclusion. Results indicated that physical symptoms and impairments, mental health symptoms and impairments and difficulties with day-to-day activities directly or indirectly predicted challenges to social inclusion for adults living with HIV. Challenges to social inclusion were directly predicted by mental health symptoms and indirectly by physical health symptoms via (mediated by) having difficulties carrying out day-to-day activities and mental health symptoms and impairments. These findings provide a basis for conceptualizing disability experienced by people living with HIV.</p>

Client or Volunteer? Understanding Neoliberalism and Neocolonialism Within International Volunteer Health Work
Authors: St-Amant Oona , Ward-Griffin Catherine , Berman Helene , Vainio-Mattila Arja 
Published: March 2024

<p>As international volunteer health work increases globally, research pertaining to the social organizations that coordinate the volunteer experience in the Global South has severely lagged. The purpose of this ethnographic study was to critically examine the social organizations within Canadian NGOs in the provision of health work in Tanzania. Multiple, concurrent data collection methods, including text analysis, participant observation and in-depth interviews were utilized. Data collection occurred in Tanzania and Canada. Neoliberalism and neocolonialism were pervasive in international volunteer health work. In this study, the social relations—“volunteer as client,” “experience as commodity,” and “free market evaluation”—coordinated the volunteer experience, whereby the volunteers became “the client” over the local community and resulting in an asymmetrical relationship. These findings illuminate the need to generate additional awareness and response related to social inequities embedded in international volunteer health work. </p>
The Increasing Prevalence of Children Home Alone in Ghana: The Importance of Considering Regional Inequalities
Authors: Ruiz-Casares Monica , Nazif-Munoz José Ignacio 
Published: March 2024

<p>Research from industrialized settings has linked inadequate child supervision with various negative consequences. Nevertheless, empirical research in lower- and middle-income countries about correlates of inadequate child supervision has been scarce. The few studies that exist tended to focus on individual- and household-level factors, and reported associations that are not significant or in mixed directions depending on the context. Structural factors are left underexplored, but taking a more macro-level lens in settings with high regional disparities can hold the key to explaining increases in prevalence of inadequate child supervision. Exploring the evolution over time of child supervision practices can also enrich this explanation. We use data from two rounds of Ghana Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys to examine factors associated with children left home alone, and employ regional analysis using strata-level mixed effects. We found that in Ghana, the prevalence of children left home alone without adult supervision increased by 8.5% between 2011 and 2018 – an increase of more than 500,000 children over seven years. Statistical analyses suggest that variation between regions likely are associated with the growth of inadequate child supervision in this country. Future research should pay closer attention to how structural conditions, proxied by regions, can serve as either barriers or facilitators to adequate child supervision practices, helping shed light on residual variance unexplained by individual- and household-level factors.</p>

The CARL Library Impact Framework: A Logic Model Approach To Impact Assessment For Research Libraries
Authors: Robertson Mark , Gottschalk Tania , Wheeler Justine 
Published: March 2024

<p>In December 2021, the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) released the <em>CARL Library Impact Framework</em> (CLIF). While library impact has been a topic of discussion for many years, CLIF offers a new contribution to the dialogue on the demonstration of impact of research libraries. The concept of impact pathways was borrowed from the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences report entitled <em>Approaches to Assessing Impacts in the Humanities and Social Sciences</em>. To realize the impact pathways concept, CLIF has adapted a logic model framework. This approach provides users of CLIF with a way to represent a more complete arc of influence of research libraries systematically and visually. By design, CLIF encourages the use of assessment techniques and tools beyond the quantitative data collection and descriptive statistics often used by research libraries. This paper provides an overview of CLIF, its genesis, intent, structure, and possibilities for its application in research libraries. </p>
Clustering and OFDMA-based MAC protocol (COMAC) for vehicular ad hoc networks
Authors: Hafeez Khalid Abdel , Zhao Lian , Liao Zaiyi , Ma Bobby Ngok-Wah 
Published: March 2024

<p>The IEEE community is working on the wireless access in vehicular environments as a main technology for vehicular ad hoc networks. The medium access control (MAC) protocol of this system known as IEEE 802.11p is based on the distributed coordination function (DCF) of the IEEE 802.11 and enhanced DCF of the IEEE 802.11e that have low performance especially in high-density networks with nodes of high mobility. In this paper, we propose a novel MAC protocol where nodes dynamically organize themselves into clusters. Cluster heads are elected based on their stability on the road with minimal overhead since all clustering information is embedded in control channel's safety messages. The proposed MAC protocol is adaptable to drivers' behavior on the road and has learning mechanism for predicting the future speed and position of all cluster members using the fuzzy logic inference system. By using OFDMA, each cluster will use a set of subcarriers that are different from the neighboring clusters to eliminate the hidden terminal problem. Increasing the system reliability, reducing the time delay for vehicular safety applications and efficiently clustering vehicles in highly dynamic and dense networks in a distributed manner are the main contributions of our proposed MAC protocol.</p>

Physical-Rules-Based Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inferential Sensor Model for Predicting the Indoor Temperature in Heating Systems
Authors: Huang Liang , Liao Zaiyi , Zhao Lian 
Published: March 2024

<p> Previous research demonstrated that inferential sensors-based control technology can significantly improve the energy efficiency of space heating systems. However, the performance strongly relies on the accuracy and robustness of the dynamic model upon which the inferential model is built. Traditional methods, such as simplified physical model, adaptive neurofuzzy inferential sensor- (ANFIS-) based model, were developed and tested in this research. In attempt to improve both the accuracy and robustness of inferential model, this study aims to investigate how to improve the performance of inferential sensors using physical-rules-based ANFIS in prediction of the hydraulic system temperature in order to adapt the good power needed in the dwellings. This paper presents the structure of this innovative method. The performance is tested using experimental data and is compared with that of previous methods using three performance measures: RMSE, RMS, and R<sup>2</sup>. The results show that the physical-rule-based ANFIS inferential model is more accurate and robust. The impact of this improvement on the overall control performance is also discussed. </p>
Weighted sum-rate maximization for multi-user SIMO multiple access channels in cognitive radio networks
Authors: He Peter , Zhao Lian , Lü Jianhua 
Published: March 2024

<p>In this article, an efficient distributed and parallel algorithm is proposed to maximize the sum-rate and optimize the input distribution policy for the multi-user single input multiple output multiple access channel (MU-SIMO MAC) system with concurrent access within a cognitive radio (CR) network. The single input means that every user has a single antenna and multiple output means that base station(s) has multiple antennas. The main features are: (i) the power distribution for the users is updated by using variable scale factors which effectively and efficiently maximize the objective function at each iteration; (ii) distributed and parallel computation is employed to expedite convergence of the proposed distributed algorithm; and (iii) a novel water-filling with mixed constraints is investigated, and used as a fundamental block of the proposed algorithm. Due to sufficiently exploiting the structure of the proposed model, the proposed algorithm owns fast convergence. Numerical results verify that the proposed algorithm is effective and fast convergent. Using the proposed approach, for the simulated range, the required number of iterations for convergence is two and this number is not sensitive to the increase of the number of users. This feature is quite desirable for large scale systems with dense active users. In addition, it is also worth noting that the proposed algorithm is a monotonic feasible operator to the iteration. Thus, the stop criterion for computation could be easily set up.</p>

Rotor-Flying Manipulator: Modeling, Analysis, and Control
Authors: Yang Bin , He Yuqing , Han Jianda , Liu Guang Jun 
Published: March 2024

<p> Equipping multijoint manipulators on a mobile robot is a typical redesign scheme to make the latter be able to actively influence the surroundings and has been extensively used for many ground robots, underwater robots, and space robotic systems. However, the rotor-flying robot (RFR) is difficult to be made such redesign. This is mainly because the motion of the manipulator will bring heavy coupling between itself and the RFR system, which makes the system model highly complicated and the controller design difficult. Thus, in this paper, the modeling, analysis, and control of the combined system, called rotor-flying multijoint manipulator (RF-MJM), are conducted. Firstly, the detailed dynamics model is constructed and analyzed. Subsequently, a full-state feedback linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controller is designed through obtaining linearized model near steady state. Finally, simulations are conducted and the results are analyzed to show the basic control performance. </p>
On the Relationship between Preferential and Multilateral Trade Liberalization: The Case of Customs Unions
Authors: Yildiz Halis , Saggi Kamal , Woodland Alan 
Published: March 2024

<p>This paper compares equilibrium outcomes of two games of trade liberalization. In the Bilateralism game, countries choose whether to liberalize trade preferentially via a customs union (CU ), multilaterally, or not at all. The Multilateralism game is a restricted version of the Bilateralism game in that countries cannot form CUs and can only undertake non-discriminatory trade liberalization. When countries have symmetric endowments, global free trade is the only stable equilibrium of both games. Allowing for endowment asymmetry, we isolate circumstances where the option to form CUs helps further the cause of multilateral liberalization as well as where it does not. (JEL F12, F13)<br>

<p>Duoethnography offers the narratives of first-generation Black women scholars who created a virtual community as a transformative safe space for peer mentorship and scholarship. Framed through a womanist epistemological lens, our narratives provide insight about challenges and triumphs of navigating the academy from female scholars of African descent. Unique to this chronicle, the development of an Accountability Sistah Circle in 2012 became an organic transformative community for personal and professional growth. Through the components of this model, which can be implemented with others living in the margins, we uncovered our authentic voices, shared resources, expanded social capital, and developed a ritual that provided a safety shield around us and ultimately helped enhance our academic fortitude.</p>

Aspectos psicológicos de la compra orgánica y la influencia del fatalismo: la palabra de los terapeutas
Authors: Bonisoli Lorenzo , Rubira-Criollo Kevin , Jaramillo-Enríquez Estefania 
Published: March 2024

El crecimiento en la demanda de productos orgánicos está intrínsecamente relacionado con las preocupaciones en torno a la salud y la sostenibilidad, manifestando la tendencia de individuos que adoptan un estilo de vida consciente. No obstante, la toma de decisiones en la adquisición de productos orgánicos no es exclusivamente una respuesta a estas consideraciones, sino que está fuertemente influida por factores de índole psicológica.
El objetivo primordial de la presente investigación es analizar de manera exhaustiva la compra de productos orgánicos y el impacto del fatalismo en dicho proceso. El fatalismo, caracterizado por la aceptación pasiva de eventos, tiende a predisponer a la resignación en lugar de fomentar la búsqueda activa de modificaciones. Para llevar a cabo este análisis, se ha desarrollado un estudio cualitativo que se enfoca en la realización de entrevistas con terapeutas clínicos. Estos profesionales se erigen como fuentes de conocimiento invaluables gracias a su experiencia en el análisis de los aspectos psicológicos que guían las decisiones humanas en respuesta a factores como la presión social, la ansiedad y el fatalismo.
Los resultados destacan la trascendencia de resistir las influencias de la presión social, favoreciendo la autoafirmación y mitigando las tendencias a una autoevaluación negativa. Asimismo, se examina la correlación existente entre la ansiedad y la exposición a información errónea, la cual puede distorsionar la percepción de la salud y el bienestar. En su conjunto, estos elementos psicológicos tienen un rol determinante en las elecciones de compra de productos orgánicos y en la salud mental, subrayando la importancia de comprender estas influencias con el fin de facultar a los individuos en la toma de decisiones informadas y en la búsqueda de un bienestar integral. Por último, este estudio enfatiza que el fatalismo puede ser superado mediante el apoyo adecuado y la aplicación de la terapia cognitivo-conductual, brindando un horizonte de esperanza para el cambio.
Eliminación de beneficios penitenciarios a personas privadas de la libertad por el tráfico de sustancias sujetas a fiscalización
Authors: Freire-Muicela Bryan 
Published: March 2024

Las sustancias catalogadas sujetas a fiscalización son aquellas que están plasmadas en la ley como no permitjdas, las cuales se clasifican en: Estupefacientes, Psicotrópicas, Precursores químicos, entre otras, estas sustancias se encuentran legamente prohibidas dentro del ordenamiento jurídico ya que no permiten que las personas actúen o se desarrollen de una manera normal y consiente, lo que ha llevado a las personas a cometer delitos a gran escala, el Estado a través de su legislación debe implantar sanciones más drásticas a personas que cometan conductas relacionadas con la venta de drogas, ya que es un delito que al dejar que siga operando tomara cada día más fuerza hasta llegar al punto de involucrase en las arcas políticas y operar desde el interior de un gobierno, como se ha visto en experiencias históricas comparadas en América Latina.
A demás de lo anterior el presente artículo considera, que el Estado deber eliminar los beneficios que existen en la actualidad para aquellas personas que son sentenciadas por operar en la de venta de "sustanc ias catalogadas sujetas a fiscalización " (COIP,2014:4) pues el beneficio penitenciario es el proceso de rehabilitación social de la o del sentenciado que cumple con los requisitos y normas del sistema progresivo para desarrollar su actividad fuera del centro de ejecución de penas de manera controlada por el Organismo Técnico. Partiendo de la teoría de la prevención general y especial del delito y de la teoría del Derecho penal del enemigo de hunter jaiko este artículo considera que los condenados por el delito de tráfico de estupefacientes no solo deben cumplir su codena completa sino que además no deben poder acceder a ningún beneficio por lo que el cometimiento de este crimen, abarca que se desate una gran cantjdad de delitos que vienen tras la venta de droga, el más considerable es que atentan contra la salud pública, un derecho consagrado en la constitución y al tratarse de una vulnerabilidad a un el derecho constitucional, no debe tener ningún benéfico que la ley otorgue.
