Background
The relationship between lifetime abuse (i.e., childhood abuse, intimate partner violence) and risky behaviors is well established. One proposed mechanism is poor emotion regulation and executive functioning, as a potential mechanism that may explain the relationship between lifetime abuse and risky behaviors. However, research on executive functioning and emotion regulation as mediators of this relationship has been limited. In the present study, we examined this association. We hypothesized that lifetime abuse would be significantly associated with executive function and emotion regulation which in turn would be associated with greater alcohol use and risky sex.

Methods
This cross-sectional study included 150 women with a history of lifetime abuse who were assessed for hazardous alcohol use using the AUDIT Score; emotion regulation was measured using the Difficulties with Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS); risky sex was measured using the question: "in the last 90 days, how many people did you have anal or vaginal sex without using a condom? Executive function was assessed using the NIH Toolbox.

Results
The mediation model followed the self-regulation theory, which proposes executive function as the higher-order cognitive process. Results showed that executive function deficit and poor emotion regulation significantly mediated the relationship between lifetime abuse and hazardous alcohol use (indirect effect = .097, SE .031, 95% CI = .035 to .158).

Conclusion
Our findings suggest a higher-order cognitive process with executive function promoting emotion regulation as a potential mechanism for alcohol problems in women of color who experienced lifetime abuse.
Barriers and facilitators to health during prison reentry to Miami, FL
Authors: Mohammad Sofia , Bahrani Ahzin , Kim Minji , Nowotny Kathryn M. 
Published: October 2023

Background
People face numerous barriers to reentry and community integration following incarceration, and these obstacles manifest themselves as barriers to economic stability, housing security, healthcare, community acceptance, and educational attainment, ultimately leading to poor health. This study aims to understand healthcare needs of reentrants post release within the unique political and service context of Miami Dade County, FL, and seeks to uncover the structural facilitators and barriers to sustaining health during reentry.

Methods
We report on a subset of data from a larger reentry asset mapping project. We conducted a qualitative thematic analysis based on 12 semi-structured interviews with community stakeholders, including reentrants who were released in the past year (n = 5) and with community providers who have provided support services to returning citizens for at least one year (n = 7). Narratives were coded through an iterative process using NVivo software and were analyzed using the general inductive approach.

Results
Three themes emerged from the analysis: (1) social and structural barriers and facilitators to health during reentry, (2) challenges with medical care following release, and (3) long-term impacts of receiving poor healthcare in prison. Reentrants describe the carceral environment as non-conducive to health and cite an urgent need for systemic change within correctional institutions to promote their well-being. Respondents identified substance use disorder (SUD) treatment, trauma informed therapy, and chronic disease management as the primary healthcare needs of reentrants, and cite social support, stable housing, education, and employment as the key social and structural needs upon release.

Conclusion
This study identifies prevalent resource gaps in Miami Dade County during reentry. Respondents advocate for more inclusive governmental housing programs, Medicaid expansion, and more holistic reentry programs to support reentrants. Understanding the barriers and facilitators to health during reentry can inform future interventions to better support reentrants in their transition post-incarceration.

IntroductionCancer causes a substantial burden to our society, both from a health and an economic perspective. To improve cancer patient outcomes and lower society expenses, early diagnosis and timely treatment are essential. The recent COVID-19 crisis has disrupted the care trajectory of cancer patients, which may affect their prognosis in a potentially negative way. The purpose of this paper is to present a flexible decision-analytic Markov model methodology allowing the evaluation of the impact of delayed cancer care caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in Belgium which can be used by researchers to respond to diverse research questions in a variety of disruptive events, contexts and settings.MethodsA decision-analytic Markov model was developed for 4 selected cancer types (i.e. breast, colorectal, lung, and head and neck), comparing the estimated costs and quality-adjusted life year losses between the pre-COVID-19 situation and the COVID-19 pandemic in Belgium. Input parameters were derived from published studies (transition probabilities, utilities and indirect costs) and administrative databases (epidemiological data and direct medical costs). One-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses are proposed to consider uncertainty in the input parameters and to assess the robustness of the model’s results. Scenario analyses are suggested to evaluate methodological and structural assumptions.DiscussionThe results that such decision-analytic Markov model can provide are of interest to decision makers because they help them to effectively allocate resources to improve the health outcomes of cancer patients and to reduce the costs of care for both patients and healthcare systems. Our study provides insights into methodological aspects of conducting a health economic evaluation of cancer care and COVID-19 including insights on cancer type selection, the elaboration of a Markov model, data inputs and analysis.
Regulative raumordnungsbezogene Optionen für eine Beschleunigung (nicht nur) der Energiewende: Ebenen, Verfahrensschritte und Bindungswirkungen
Authors: Von Seht Hauke 
Published: October 2023

The urgency of the energy transition is in conflict with delaying effects and options that are not optimally used in the complex, multi-stage German planning system. This also applies to the law and procedures of spatial planning, as well as the interaction of spatial planning with construction planning and sectoral law. Here, fundamental reform options have not yet been exhausted, despite many current legislative projects. Some procedural steps and options for legislative deviations can be eliminated altogether, the interaction of planning and decision-making levels can be made more effective, and subject-related certain hierarchical levels in the planning system could be omitted on a topic-specific basis. Based on a brief analysis of the initial situation for spatial planning, this paper first provides corresponding general considerations on such far-reaching acceleration options and their consequences. This is followed by the presentation of numerous specific spatial planning-related optimisation options.

Published: October 2023

Abstract

Objectives
The present study is designed to explore the process of epileptic patterns’ automatic detection, specifically, epileptic spikes and high-frequency oscillations (HFOs), via a selection of machine learning (ML) techniques. The primary motivation for conducting such a research lies mainly in the need to investigate the long-term electroencephalography (EEG) recordings’ visual examination process, often considered as a time-consuming and potentially error-prone procedure, requiring a great deal of mental focus and highly experimented neurologists. On attempting to resolve such a challenge, a number of state-of-the-art ML algorithms have been evaluated and compare in terms of performance, to pinpoint the most effective algorithm fit for accurately extracting epileptic EEG patterns.

Content
Based on intracranial as well as simulated EEG data, the attained findings turn out to reveal that the randomforest (RF) method proved to be the most consistently effective approach, significantly outperforming the entirety of examined methods in terms of EEG recordings epileptic-pattern identification. Indeed, the RF classifier appeared to record an average balanced classification rate (BCR) of 92.38 % in regard to spikes recognition process, and 78.77 % in terms of HFOs detection.

Summary
Compared to other approaches, our results provide valuable insights into the RF classifier’s effectiveness as a powerful ML technique, fit for detecting EEG signals born epileptic bursts.

Outlook
As a potential future work, we envisage to further validate and sustain our major reached findings through incorporating a larger EEG dataset. We also aim to explore the generative adversarial networks (GANs) application so as to generate synthetic EEG signals or combine signal generation techniques with deep learning approaches. Through this new vein of thought, we actually preconize to enhance and boost the automated detection methods’ performance even more, thereby, noticeably enhancing the epileptic EEG pattern recognition area.
Die Zukunft sozialer Rechte
Authors: van Dyk Silke , Kip Markus 
Published: October 2023

Zusammenfassung
In Anbetracht multipler Krisendynamiken wird gegenwärtig um eine Neuausrichtung des Kapitalismus und neue Formen der Marktbegrenzung gerungen. Dabei geht es grundlegend um das Verhältnis von (Privat-)Eigentum, Demokratie und sozialen Rechten. Zugleich bleibt die Eigentumsfrage ein auffälliges Desiderat der Sozialpolitik- und Wohlfahrtsstaatsforschung, die seit Jahrzehnten die Frage der Verteilung gegenüber der Verfügungs- und Gestaltungsmacht priorisiert. Um diese Lücke zu schließen erweist sich die Arbeit des Soziologen Robert Castel als instruktiv, der soziale Rechte als Sozialeigentum der Bürger:innen fasst. Allerdings ist sein Konzept eng mit dem Normalarbeitsverhältnis der fordistischen Wachstumsökonomien verbunden und eigentumstheoretisch nur rudimentär ausgearbeitet. Der Beitrag zielt ausgehend von einer ausführlichen Rekonstruktion darauf, das Konzept des Sozialeigentums analytisch ernst zu nehmen, es mit Blick auf öffentliche Infrastrukturen zu erweitern und sein demokratisches Potenzial zu entfalten.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
This study examines the preferences of young people from the majority group and minority ethnic groups in Germany regarding partnerships with recent refugees from Syria and Afghanistan. On the basis of a factorial survey experiment implemented in the year 2022 in the 9th wave of the CILS4EU-DE data, we demonstrate that young people in Germany – both with and without migration background – are much less favourable to partnerships with refugees compared to partnerships with native Germans. Of all respondents, young people who either themselves or whose parents come from Turkey are most opposed to partnerships with refugees. Particularly those who tend to extensively consume Turkish media and those who identify more strongly with their origin country are more negative about partnerships with refugees.
(Fehlende) Anwesenheit bei Begutachtungsprozessen: Zum Wandel der sozialen Interaktionen im virtuellen Format
Authors: Paruschke Laura , Barlösius Eva , Philipps Axel 
Published: October 2023

Zusammenfassung
Sozial ausgehandelte Interaktionsordnungen bestimmen wesentlich den Ablauf sozialer Situationen. Bei Begutachtungen mit Vor-Ort-Begehungen existieren unterschiedliche soziale Situationen, welche in ihrer Gesamtheit dazu beitragen, formal korrekte und vertretbare Entscheidungen zu produzieren. Doch wie gestalten sich die Interaktionen, wenn Begutachtungsverfahren in die Virtualität überführt werden? Welche Folgen ergeben sich für den Begutachtungsprozess? Anhand von qualitativen Leitfadeninterviews wird die Bedeutung der sozialen Situationen und der ihnen inhärenten Interaktionsordnungen für die Beteiligten von Begutachtungen im präsenten sowie im virtuellen Format anhand zweier Förderprogramme der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass virtuelle Sitzungen die Interaktionsmöglichkeiten unter allen Beteiligten einschränken. Problematisch ist im Besonderen, dass Situationen mit einer situativ geregelten Interaktionsordnung fehlen, denn laut der Beteiligten sind sie essentiell dafür, dass Begutachtungsprozesse reibungslos und so ablaufen, dass alle relevanten Aspekte einbezogen werden können.

Published: October 2023

Objective
The European Registries for Rare Endocrine Conditions (EuRRECa, eurreb.eu) includes an e-reporting registry (e-REC) used to perform surveillance of conditions within the European Reference Network (ERN) for rare endocrine conditions (Endo-ERN). The aim of this study was to report the experience of e-REC over the 3.5 years since its launch in 2018.

Methods
Electronic reporting capturing new encounters of Endo-ERN conditions was performed monthly through a bespoke platform by clinicians registered to participate in e-REC from July 2018 to December 2021.

Results
The number of centres reporting on e-REC increased to a total of 61 centres from 22 countries. A median of 29 (range 11, 45) paediatric and 32 (14, 51) adult centres had reported cases monthly. A total of 9715 and 4243 new cases were reported in adults (age ≥18 years) and children, respectively. In children, sex development conditions comprised 40% of all reported conditions and transgender cases were most frequently reported, comprising 58% of sex development conditions. The median number of sex development cases reported per centre per month was 0.6 (0, 38). Amongst adults, pituitary conditions comprised 44% of reported conditions and pituitary adenomas (69% of cases) were most commonly reported. The median number of pituitary cases reported per centre per month was 4 (0.4, 33).

Conclusions
e-REC has gained increasing acceptability over the last 3.5 years for capturing brief information on new encounters of rare conditions and shows wide variations in the rate of presentation of these conditions to centres within a reference network.
Significance statement
Endocrinology includes a very wide range of rare conditions and their occurrence is often difficult to measure. By using an electronic platform that allowed monthly reporting of new clinical encounters of several rare endocrine conditions within a defined network that consisted of several reference centres in Europe, the EuRRECa project shows that a programme of e-surveillance is feasible and acceptable. The data that have been collected by the e-reporting of rare endocrine conditions (e-REC) can allow the continuous monitoring of rare conditions and may be used for clinical benchmarking, designing new studies or recruiting to clinical trials.

Authors: Akinci Yasin , Ateş Bahar 
Published: October 2023

Background. School-based physical activity interventions contribute positively to children’s general health, wellness, and quality of life. The present study aims to investigate the effect of a 12-week handball training intervention on the ingredients of physical fitness and physical performances of primary school children.
Materials and methods. In this quasi-experimental study, students participating in school-based handball training constitute the intervention group (IG) (n=15, aged 12.3 ± 0.96) and those who do not participate (n=17, aged 12.1 ± 0.83) constitute the comparison group. The linear speed (T30m), change of direction speed (T-test time), lower extremity power (standing long jump (SLJ)), muscular strength and endurance (30-sec curl-ups and push-ups), and estimated maximum oxygen uptake (VO2 max) (YYIRTL-1) were measured at the beginning and end of the handball training session. Independent samples t-test was conducted to test the significant differences in pretests between groups. Paired samples t-test was carried out to analyze statistically significant differences within groups.
Results. The results revealed that, except for SLJ test scores, the pre-tests IG performed statistically significantly higher than the CG. In post-test scores, the IG performed statistically significantly higher than the CG in all test scores. In addition, physical fitness performance levels of the IG significantly changed between pre- and post-test (p<0.05) but not in the control group (p>0.05).
Conclusions. In conclusion, school-based handball intervention can positively affect students’ physical fitness and performance characteristics.

Authors: Shevra Chhaya , Kumar Himanshu 
Published: October 2023

Struma ovarii is a highly specialized form of mature ovarian teratoma in which the ovary contains &#62;50% of thyroid tissue. It accounts for 1 – 3% of benign teratomas of the ovary. Malignant transformation is observed in 5-37% cases of struma ovarii. Peak age of incidence 4 - 5th decade with excellent prognosis. We report a rare form of malignant struma ovarii, composed of a follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma with capsular invasion. A65-year-old hypertensive postmenopausal female presented with complaints of pain in abdomen, pelvic mass, frequent micturition, since 3 days. A pelvic sonogram showed an enlarged heterogenous right ovarian mass of sized 12 x 9 x 5 cm, with solid cystic lesion. Left ovary was unilocular and cystic of sized 5.5 x 4 x 3 cm. The uterus and cervix appeared to be normal. She underwent an exploratory laparotomy, and a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Based on histopathological and radiological features an impression of follicular variant of papillary carcinoma of thyroid with capsular invasion was favoured. : The patient was successfully treated with total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy. There are no sign of recurrence and metastasis two months after surgery. Patient is under regular follow up. : Malignant struma ovarii is a medical rarity and very few studies have been reported.
Sexual function and sexual satisfaction in individuals undergoing infertility: A systematic review
Authors: Firoozi Armin , Kashani Farah Lotfi , Vaziri Shahram 
Published: October 2023

Background: Although sexual function (SF) and sexual satisfaction (SS) are the essential factors influenced negatively by infertility and may be associated with delaying or disrupting infertility treatment, no systematic review has assessed the results of these studies so far.
Objective: The present study aimed to systematically review published interventional research regarding SF and SS among infertile individuals.
Materials and Methods: In this systematic review, the databases of PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, PsycInfo, Google Scholar, and SID were searched to retrieve the relevant studies in Persian and English languages up to August 2021.
Results: 23 interventional studies were included in this systematic review, of which only 2 were low quality based on the critical appraisal skills program checklist. The interventions of the included studies were classified into 2 main categories: educational and psychological interventions for increasing the SF and SS among infertile women or couples.
Conclusion: There was no clear evidence to understand the most effective method for increasing SF and satisfaction among couples with infertility. Based on the results of the included studies, all of them showed the effectiveness of the various interventions performed on sexual health dimensions among couples with infertility. This systematic review showed that most SF studies were educational, whereas the SS were more psychologically interventional. Conducting standardized and high-quality randomized controlled trials focusing on SF and SS is recommended.
Key words: Sexual health, Sexual satisfaction, Psychological intervention, Early intervention, Educational.
