Linking physical violence to women’s mobility in Chile
Authors: Contreras Hugo , Candia Cristian , Troncoso Rodrigo , Ferres Leo , Bravo Loreto , Lepri Bruno , Rodriguez-Sickert Carlos 
Published: December 2023

AbstractDespite increased global attention on violence against women, understanding the factors that lead to women becoming victims remains a critical challenge. Notably, the impact of domestic violence on women’s mobility—a critical determinant of their social and economic independence—has remained largely unexplored. This study bridges this gap, employing police records to quantify physical and psychological domestic violence, while leveraging mobile phone data to proxy women’s mobility. Our analyses reveal a negative correlation between physical violence and female mobility, an association that withstands robustness checks, including controls for economic independence variables like education, employment, and occupational segregation, bootstrapping of the data set, and applying a generalized propensity score matching identification strategy. The study emphasizes the potential causal role of physical violence on decreased female mobility, asserting the value of interdisciplinary research in exploring such multifaceted social phenomena to open avenues for preventive measures. The implications of this research extend into the realm of public policy and intervention development, offering new strategies to combat and ultimately eradicate domestic violence against women, thereby contributing to wider efforts toward gender equity.
Adversarial Machine Learning in Recommender Systems
Authors: Merra Felice Antonio 
Published: December 2023

Recommender systems are ubiquitous. Our digital lives are influenced by their use when, for instance, we select the news to read, the product to buy, the friend to connect with, and the movie to watch. While enormous academic research efforts have been mainly focused on getting high-quality recommendations to reach maximum user satisfaction, little effort has been devoted to studying the integrity and security of these systems. Is there an underlying relationship between the characteristics of the historical user-item interactions and the efficacy of injection of false users/feedback strategies against collaborative models? Can public semantic data be used to perform attacks more potent in raising the recommendability of victim items? Can a malicious user poison or evade the image data of visual recommenders with adversarial perturbed product images? Is the family of model-based recommenders more vulnerable to multi-step gradient-based adversarial perturbations? Furthermore, is the adversarial training robustification still effective in the last scenario? Is this training defense influencing the beyond-accuracy and bias performance?
This dissertation intends to pave the way towards more robust recommender systems, beginning with understanding how to robustify a model, what is the cost of robustness in terms of reduction of recommendation accuracy, and which are the novel adversarial risks of modern recommenders. This thesis, getting inspiration from the literature on the security of collaborative models against the insertion of hand-engineered fake profiles and the recent advances of adversarial machine learning methods in other research areas like computer vision, contributes to several directions: (i) the proposal of a practical framework to interpret the impact of data characteristics on the robustness of collaborative recommenders [Deldjoo et al., 2020], (ii) the design of powerful attack strategies using publicly available semantic data [Anelli et al., 2020], (iii) the identification of severe adversarial vulnerabilities of visual-based recommender models where adversaries can break the recommendation integrity by pushing products to the highest recommendation positions with a simple and human-imperceptible perturbation of products' images [Anelli et al., 2021b], (iv) the proposal of robust adversarial perturbation methods capable of completely breaking the accuracy of matrix factorization recommenders [Anelli et al., 2021a], and (v) a formal study that examines the effects of adversarial training in reducing the recommendation quality of state-of-the-art model-based recommenders Anelli et al. [2021c].

Optimalisasi Penerapan Metode ARIMA dalam Mengestimasi Harga Emas di Negara Indonesia
Authors: Panjaitan Adne Sagita , Maretha M Rafly , Hilmiah  , Mardhotillah Bunga 
Published: December 2023

Tahun 2023 Indonesia tercatat sebagai negara pemilik cadangan emas terbesar nomor 6 di dunia. Dan menurut data yang diberikan Ditjen Minerba Kementerian ESDM pada tahun 2021 Indonesia menghasilkan 118,3 ton emas murni, menjadikan negara Indonesia sebagai penghasil emas nomor 9 di dunia. Keberadaan Indonesia dalam cincin api pasifik ditandai dengan aktivitas vulkanik akibat pergerakan lempengan bumi yang menghasilkan pergerakan tektonik di bawah permukaan bumi menjadikan potensi adanya pertambang di Indonesia sangat besar. Dimana menurut Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Indonesia memiliki sekitar 1.182.073,53 hektare tambang emas yang tersebar ke dalam 25 provinsi. Emas sendiri merupakan salah satu alat tukar menukar. Dimana menurut web www.goldprice.org di Indonesia pada bulan September 2022 sampai pada September 2023 mengalami peningkatan sebesar 12% namun pada bulan januari 2023 harga emas mengalami penurunan sebesar 7%. Adanya penurunan harga ini dapat mempengaruhi investor yang ingin menginvestasikan harta mereka ke emas. Maka dari ini penulis tertarik untuk menerapkan estimasi Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) dalam menghitung harga emas penulis memilih negara Indonesia sebagai tempat melakukan penelitian, dimana Indonesia merupakan salah satu penghasil emas terbesar ke 6 di dunia. Dengan ini penulis berasumsi diperlukan adanya penelitian dengan pemodelan matematika untuk menganalisis, memprediksi, dan mengidentifikasi estimasi harga emas kedepannya. Adapun pemodelan matematika yang penulis pilih untuk menganalisis, memprediksi dan mengidentifikasi estimasi harga emas kedepannya di negara Indonesia adalah pendekatan deskriptif kuantitatif dengan menerapkan metode Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) dalam perhitungannya. Dimana tujuan penulis sendiri melakukan penelitian adalah untuk mewujudkan SDGs dalam sektor ekonomi, yang harapannya dengan adanya penelitian ini dapat membawa banyak pengaruh untuk kedepannya terutama untuk negara Indonesia sendiri.
A República do Cruzeiro do Sul
Authors: Briúsov Valiéri , Zorattini Júlia 
Published: December 2023

Escrito por Valiéri Briúsov (1873-1924) e publicado em 1907, “A República do Cruzeiro do Sul” é um conto que descreve a devastação de uma cidade futurista (à primeira vista, uma utopia industrial) erguida sobre o Polo Sul, em virtude da epidemia de uma doença psíquica. Mesmo antes do desencadeamento da tragédia, a Cidade Estelar dificilmente poderia ser considerada uma sociedade ideal: as vidas de seus habitantes eram controladas nos mínimos detalhes por um despótico Conselho formado pelos diretores fabris locais. Trata-se, portanto, de uma narrativa distópica, antecessora de obras mais conhecidas do gênero, como Nós (1924), de Evguêni Zamiátin, e 1984 (1949), de George Orwell, e pioneira da longa e rica tradição da literatura de expressão russa de ficção científica. Briúsov, um dos expoentes do simbolismo russo, surpreende ao fazer uso de um estilo enxuto, mais adequado ao formato jornalístico em que é veiculado o conto. A descrição sintética e até mesmo brusca das atrocidades que se passaram na capital da República apenas intensifica a aversão sentido pelo leitor. Buscamos manter essa precisão na tradução[1]. Além desta versão, o conto também foi traduzido para as línguas inglesa, francesa, alemã, italiana e, mais recentemente, espanhola, tradução esta publicada na edição nº 5 da revista argentina Eslavia em 2020 e realizada por Eugenio López Arriazu.

Efficacy of neurofeedback training for improving attentional performance in healthy adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Kimura Ikko , Noyama Hiroki , Onagawa Ryoji , Takemi Mitsuaki , Osu Rieko , Kawahara Jun-ichiro 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the neurofeedback training (NFT) effects on attentional performance in healthy adults. Six databases were searched until June 2022 to identify parallel randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating attentional improvements after NFT. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration tool. We identified 41 RCTs for qualitative synthesis and 15 RCTs (569 participants) for meta-analysis. The overall NFT effect on attentional performance was significant (standardized mean difference = 0.27, 95% confidence interval = 0.10–0.44). However, no significant pooled effect was found within the trials comparing its effect with sham-NFT (eight RCTs). Additionally, variable effects were observed on individual subsets of attentional performance. Further sham-controlled RCTs are required to validate the improvement of attentional performance with NFT.

Introduction Patients with a history of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) have higher postoperative complication rates and mortality in many settings. Yet, it remains poorly understood how the opioid epidemic has affected patients undergoing major lower extremity amputation (LEA) and whether outcomes differ by OUD status. Methods We conducted a retrospective chart review of all 689 patients who underwent major LEA at a large tertiary referral center from 2015 to 2021. This study assessed patient characteristics and long-term postoperative outcomes for patients with preoperative OUD. Results 133 (19.3%) patients had a lifetime history of preoperative OUD. Preoperative OUD was associated with key characteristics, comorbidities, and outcome measures. OUD was significantly associated with younger age ( P < .001), black race ( P = .026), single relationship status ( P < .001), BMI <30 ( P = .024), no primary care provider ( P = .004), and Medicaid insurance ( P < .001). Comorbidities significantly associated with OUD include current smoking ( P < .001), Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV; P = .003), and history of osteomyelitis ( P < .001). Preoperative OUD independently predicted lower rates of 30-60-day readmission (odds ratio [OR] .54, P = .018) and 1-12-month reamputation (OR .41, P = .006). There was no significant difference in long-term mortality and follow-up. Conclusion This study demonstrates the prevalence of OUD in patients undergoing major LEA and reports associations and long-term outcomes. Our findings highlight the importance of recognizing OUD and raise questions about the mechanisms underlying its relation to rates of postoperative readmission and reamputation.
Associations Between Adult Attachment, Maternal Emotion Socialization and Child Behavior
Authors: Jing Bao , Michiyo Kato 
Published: December 2023

Background: Attachment theories suggest that the adult attachment styles of mothers may influence behavior problems among their children; however, empirical studies examining the direct role of maternal adult attachment styles and the mechanisms through emotion-related parenting are scarce. Objective: This study examined the influence of maternal adult attachment styles and emotion-related parenting on child internalizing and externalizing problems. Methods: The participants were 409 mothers with children aged 4–5 years. A questionnaire survey was conducted to obtain their adult attachment styles to their mothers, maternal emotion socialization, and their children’s behavior problems. Results: The results of structural equation modelling (SEM) analyses revealed that maternal adult attachment influenced child behavior problems directly and indirectly through maternal emotion socialization. (1) Maternal attachment anxiety directly affected child externalizing problems, and indirectly affected them via mothers’ higher unsupportive emotion socialization (dismissing and dysfunction). Moreover, attachment anxiety influenced child internalizing problems directly, and indirectly via mothers’ higher unsupportive emotion socialization (dysfunction). (2) Furthermore, attachment avoidance indirectly impacted child externalizing problems via mothers’ lower supportive emotion socialization (coaching). Conclusions: These results suggested that maternal adult attachment styles and emotion-related parenting have important implications for the development of child behaviors. Future interventions should target parental factors to mitigate the risk of behavior problems among preschoolers.
COVID-19 Response of the Journal Public Health Reports (PHR), March 2020–March 2023
Authors: Harada Noelle M. , Kuzmichev Andrey , Dean Hazel D. 
Published: December 2023

Objective: Publication science is the scholarly study of various aspects of the academic publishing process. Its applications to COVID-19 literature have been limited. Here, we describe COVID-19 submissions to, and resulting articles published by, the journal Public Health Reports ( PHR), an important resource for US public health practice. Methods: We reviewed PHR’s COVID-19 submissions and articles published between March 27, 2020, and March 27, 2023. We coded each article for article type, author affiliation, the categories listed in PHR’s call for COVID-19 papers, and the public health emergency preparedness and response capabilities from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Results: During the study period, PHR received 1545 COVID-19 submissions and published 190 of those articles in a collection, COVID-19 Response. The COVID-19 Response collection included 102 research articles, 29 case study/practice articles, and 24 commentaries. The corresponding author of more than half (52.1%; n = 99) of the articles was affiliated with academia. By the categories listed in PHR’s call for COVID-19 papers, 51 articles addressed health disparities, 38 addressed public health surveillance, and 34 addressed COVID-19 vaccination. By the CDC public health emergency preparedness and response capabilities, 87 articles addressed public health surveillance and epidemiologic investigation, 38 addressed community preparedness, and 32 addressed community recovery. The percentage of articles focused on policy/law was higher early in the pandemic (2020-2021) than later (2022-2023) (9.5% vs <3.0%). During the latter period, articles largely focused on vaccination (12.8%) and contact tracing (10.6%). Conclusions: Articles published in PHR’s COVID-19 Response collection covered a broad range of topics and were authored by contributors from diverse organizations. Our characterization of the COVID-19 output of a representative US public health practice journal can help academic publishing better address informational needs of public health responders.
“Our Teaching Transcends a Subject Matter”: Learning From Black Women Educators’ Beliefs about Literacy Instruction During Extraordinary Times
Authors: Francois Chantal 
Published: December 2023

Background: The Covid-19 pandemic, the United States’ racial reckoning, and nationwide educational “anti-woke” legislation—along with long-standing accountability policies—acutely constrained teachers’ experiences and have solidified public portrayals of educators as mistrustful and docile. Yet research suggests that, in the face of school and societal constraints, Black women educators develop and enact beliefs about teaching that challenge prevailing opinion to provide equitable and just learning experiences for their students. The 2020–2021 school year, an extraordinary moment in the United States, provided an important context to understand Black women educators’ developing beliefs about teaching secondary literacy, a politicized and contested subject. Purpose: This study builds off of historical and contemporary research on Black women educators to understand how two teachers developed their beliefs about teaching literacy in a middle school with a diverse student population during the Covid-19 pandemic and in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement. Drawing on Black feminist theory and asset-based pedagogies, it also sought to understand what individual and collective meaning they made out of their teaching experience. Research Design: The qualitative study centered on two Black women educators who taught seventh-grade English language arts and history during the 2020–2021 school year. The two teachers worked at a suburban middle school serving a racially diverse student population. The study involved three interviews with each participant and seven group discussions with both participants throughout the year. I employed grounded theory methodology to analyze the data and to develop themes about how the teachers developed their beliefs about teaching literacy. Findings: During an extraordinary moment in the United States—characterized by the Covid-19 pandemic, hybrid instruction, and a countrywide racial reckoning—the participants felt empowered to call out the deficit ideologies that their colleagues voiced. Calling out deficit ideologies informed three beliefs about teaching literacy: upholding students’ humanity, elevating classroom discussion, and teaching a complex narrative of people of Color. These findings affirm the mutuality between action and beliefs and emphasize a more socially and politically oriented conceptualization of literacy pedagogy. Recommendations: This study informs how educational leaders can support Black women educators with professional learning that positions culturally affirming school expectations and critical self-reflection as a precedent to the empowering literacy instruction teachers could enact in classrooms. Future research can examine school-level and social factors shaping teachers’ knowledge, beliefs, and practices.

Objective Black/African American women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) experience greater organ damage and at younger ages than white women. The objective of this study was to advance research on SLE inequities by identifying sociodemographic risk profiles associated with organ damage accrual specifically among Black/African American women. Methods Latent profile analysis was conducted among 438 Black/African American women with SLE living in Atlanta, GA and enrolled in the Black Women’s Experiences Living with Lupus (BeWELL) Study (May 2015 to April 2017). Proportional hazard and Poisson regression models examined prospective associations between sociodemographic profiles and the timing and degree of organ damage accrual over 2 years. Results Four profiles emerged: (1) “Younger/Lower SES with Uncontrolled SLE” (44.8%), (2) “Older/Lower SES with Uncontrolled SLE” (23.3%), (3) “Mid-SES with Controlled SLE” (19.6%), and (4) “Higher SES with Controlled SLE” (11.2%). Approximately 42% of participants experienced new organ damage during the follow-up period. Proportional hazard models indicated that “Older/Lower SES with Uncontrolled SLE” participants were at greatest risk of new organ damage (HR = 2.41; 95% CI = 1.39, 4.19), followed by “Younger/Lower SES with Uncontrolled SLE” participants (HR = 1.56; 95% CI = 0.92, 2.67), compared to those in the “Higher SES with Controlled SLE” profile. Poisson regression models revealed that these two groups also exhibited greater organ damage accrual (b = 0.98, SE = 0.24, 95% CI = 0.52, 1.44 and b = 0.72, SE = 0.23, 95% CI = 0.27, 1.17, respectively). Conclusions Black/African American women with fewer socioeconomic resources and uncontrolled SLE are at greatest risk for increasing disease severity over time. Social inequities likely contribute to racial inequities in SLE progression.

Introduction For patients with metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC), the outcomes of pembrolizumab in combination with a platinum agent and taxane as first-line therapy remain unknown. The purpose of this study is to characterize the impact of substituting the 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) backbone for a taxane in this chemoimmunotherapy regimen on safety/tolerability and survival outcomes. Methods This was an IRB-approved, single-center, retrospective, active comparator, new-user design study in adult patients with HNSCC treated between January 2018 and September 2021. The primary objective was to assess safety and tolerability of pembrolizumab in combination with a platinum agent and taxane against an active comparator arm of pembrolizumab in combination with a platinum agent and 5-FU. Safety and tolerability were evaluated by assessing differences in overall toxicities, with further secondary analysis evaluating differences in hematologic toxicities and pre-defined non-hematologic toxicities. Results There was no statistical difference demonstrated with the primary endpoint between the cohorts. Reduced toxicity rates were found in the taxane arm for mucositis and creatinine levels. No grade 4 non-hematologic toxicities were reported. Patients receiving 5-FU were more likely to have dose reductions upfront, discontinue treatment due to intolerances and had significantly higher mucositis. Conclusions This study helps to characterize the safety profile and activity of pembrolizumab in combination with a platinum agent and taxane derivative in HNSCC patients. Within our study, substitution of 5-FU with a taxane did not show an increased risk of toxicities, worsened survival, or decreased odds of achieving a response. Mucositis and elevated creatinine rates were significantly reduced within the taxane arm.
