Authors: Sharma Rohit , Yadav Vibhash , Singh Raghuraj 
Published: October 2023

Background:
Cloud services have become a popular approach for offering efficient
services for a wide range of activities. Predicting hardware failures in a cloud data center can minimize downtime and make the system more reliable and fault-tolerant.

Objective:
This research aims to analyze a predictive hardware failure model based on machine
learning that anticipates the required remediations for undiagnosed failures in a cloud computing
system serving multiclass requests.

Methods:
The model is tested on a carefully designed cloud data center that categorizes incoming
requests as web, compute, storage, and dedicated server requests. To demonstrate improved reliability, a carefully designed test case is run on ReliaCloud-NS, which is a simulator for creating a
CCS and computing its reliability.

Results:
The work found that using this model considerably enhanced the reliability of cloud
computing systems when compared to not using the model.

Conclusion:
Although various estimation methods are patented to evaluate the system reliability
of a cloud computing network, the emphasis of this study was mostly on improving the reliability
of request-segregated clouds upon failing hardware resources like CPU, memory, bandwidth, and
hard disc. Moreover, the prediction model might potentially be expanded to other system resources such as GPUs, software, and database packages.

Authors: Abousaid Samira , Benabbou Loubna , Dagdougui Hanane , Belhaj Ismail , Bouzekri Hicham , Berrado Abdelaziz 
Published: October 2023

Background:
In recent years, the integration of renewable energy sources into the
grid has increased exponentially. However, one significant challenge in integrating these renewable sources into the grid is intermittency.

Objective:
To address this challenge, accurate PV power forecasting techniques are crucial for
operations and maintenance and day-to-day operations monitoring in solar plants.

Methods:
In the present work, a hybrid approach that combines Deep Learning (DL) and Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) with electrical models for PV power forecasting is proposed

Results:
The outcomes of the study involve evaluating the performance of the proposed model
in comparison to a Physical model and a DL model for predicting solar PV power one day ahead
and two days ahead. The results indicate that the prediction accuracy of PV power decreases and
the error rates increase when forecasting two days ahead, as compared to one day ahead.

Conclusion:
The obtained results demonstrate that DL models combined with NWP and electrical models can improve PV Power forecasting compared to a Physical model and a DL model.

Published: October 2023

Background
As the life expectancy of individuals infected with HIV continues to increase, vigilant monitoring of non–AIDS-related events becomes imperative, particularly those pertaining to liver diseases. In comparison to the general population, patients infected with HIV experience a higher frequency of liver-related deaths. The CD4/CD8 ratio is emerging as a potential biomarker for non–AIDS-related events. However, few existing studies have been specially designed to explore the relationship between the CD4/CD8 ratio and specific types of non–AIDS-related events, notably liver damage.

Objective
This study aimed to investigate the potential association between the CD4/CD8 ratio and the development of liver damage in a sizable cohort of patients infected with HIV receiving antiretroviral treatment (ART). Additionally, the study sought to assess the effectiveness of 3 antiretroviral drugs in recovering the CD4/CD8 ratio and reducing the occurrence of liver damage in this population.

Methods
We conducted an observational cohort study among adults infected with HIV receiving ART from 2004 to 2020 in Guangxi, China. Propensity score matching, multivariable Cox proportional hazard, and Fine-Gray competing risk regression models were used to determine the relationship between the CD4/CD8 ratio recovered and liver damage.

Results
The incidence of liver damage was 20.12% among 2440 eligible individuals during a median follow-up period of 4 person-years. Patients whose CD4/CD8 ratio did not recover to 1.0 exhibited a higher incidence of liver damage compared to patients with a CD4/CD8 ratio recovered (adjusted hazard ratio 7.90, 95% CI 4.39-14.21; P<.001; subdistribution hazard ratio 6.80, 95% CI 3.83-12.11; P<.001), findings consistent with the propensity score matching analysis (adjusted hazard ratio 6.94, 95% CI 3.41-14.12; P<.001; subdistribution hazard ratio 5.67, 95% CI 2.74-11.73; P<.001). The Efavirenz-based regimen exhibited the shortest time for CD4/CD8 ratio recovery (median 71, IQR 49-88 months) and demonstrated a lower prevalence of liver damage (4.18/100 person-years).

Conclusions
Recovery of the CD4/CD8 ratio was associated with a decreased risk of liver damage in patients infected with HIV receiving ART, adding evidence for considering the CD4/CD8 ratio as a potential marker for identifying individuals at risk of non–AIDS-related diseases. An efavirenz-based regimen emerged as a recommended choice for recovering the CD4/CD8 ratio and mitigating the risk of liver damage.
Identifying Rare Circumstances Preceding Female Firearm Suicides: Validating A Large Language Model Approach
Authors: Zhou Weipeng , Prater Laura C , Goldstein Evan V , Mooney Stephen J 
Published: October 2023

Background
Firearm suicide has been more prevalent among males, but age-adjusted female firearm suicide rates increased by 20% from 2010 to 2020, outpacing the rate increase among males by about 8 percentage points, and female firearm suicide may have different contributing circumstances. In the United States, the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) is a comprehensive source of data on violent deaths and includes unstructured incident narrative reports from coroners or medical examiners and law enforcement. Conventional natural language processing approaches have been used to identify common circumstances preceding female firearm suicide deaths but failed to identify rarer circumstances due to insufficient training data.

Objective
This study aimed to leverage a large language model approach to identify infrequent circumstances preceding female firearm suicide in the unstructured coroners or medical examiners and law enforcement narrative reports available in the NVDRS.

Methods
We used the narrative reports of 1462 female firearm suicide decedents in the NVDRS from 2014 to 2018. The reports were written in English. We coded 9 infrequent circumstances preceding female firearm suicides. We experimented with predicting those circumstances by leveraging a large language model approach in a yes/no question-answer format. We measured the prediction accuracy with F1-score (ranging from 0 to 1). F1-score is the harmonic mean of precision (positive predictive value) and recall (true positive rate or sensitivity).

Results
Our large language model outperformed a conventional support vector machine–supervised machine learning approach by a wide margin. Compared to the support vector machine model, which had F1-scores less than 0.2 for most infrequent circumstances, our large language model approach achieved an F1-score of over 0.6 for 4 circumstances and 0.8 for 2 circumstances.

Conclusions
The use of a large language model approach shows promise. Researchers interested in using natural language processing to identify infrequent circumstances in narrative report data may benefit from large language models.
Refining Cultural Adaptations of a Behavioral Intervention for Latino Caregivers of People Living With Dementia: Qualitative Interview Study in Washington State (Preprint)
Authors: Garcia Celeste N , Duran Miriana C , Ramirez Magaly 
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND

In the United States, Latino caregivers of individuals with dementia face unique challenges and an elevated risk of adverse health outcomes. Despite the increasing prevalence of Alzheimer disease and related dementias among Latino adults, few evidence-based interventions are tailored to their cultural context. To address this gap, we examined the cultural adaptations required for the STAR caregivers (STAR-C) virtual intervention, an evidence-based intervention that educates family caregivers to manage behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia. While STAR-C has shown effectiveness, neither the original in-person nor the virtual intervention considered the distinct experiences of Latino caregivers, who often bring culturally significant values into caregiving interactions.

OBJECTIVE

This study’s objective was to test and refine the preliminary cultural adaptations of the STAR-C web-based training modules for Latino caregivers of people living with dementia.

METHODS

Through qualitative interviews with 15 Latino caregivers in Washington State, we identified key adaptations to enhance the cultural relevance of the web-based training modules.

RESULTS

The interviews highlighted 4 main themes for adaptation: the delivery of the STAR-C web-based training modules, comprehensive dementia education, simplified problem-solving strategies, and prioritizing caregiver well-being.

CONCLUSIONS

This study’s findings informed the development of culturally adapted STAR-C web-based training modules that aim to provide tailored support to Latino caregivers. While further research is needed to assess the efficacy of these adaptations, our work contributes to bridging the gap in dementia caregiving for Latino families, potentially reducing health disparities and enhancing health care services for this population.
Operationalizing Canonicity: A Quantitative Study of French 19th and 20th Century Literature
Authors: Barré Jean , Camps Jean-Baptiste , Poibeau Thierry 
Published: October 2023

This article delves into the literary canon, a concept shaped by social biases and influenced by successive receptions. The canonization process is a multifaceted phenomenon, emerging from the intricate interplay of sociological, economic, and political factors. Our objective is to detect the underlying textual dynamics that grant certain works exceptional longevity while jeopardizing the transmission of the majority. Drawing on various criteria, we present an operational framework for defining the French literary canon, centered on its contemporary reception and emphasizing the role of institutions, particularly schools, in its formation. Leveraging natural language processing and machine learning techniques, we unveil an intrinsic norm inherent to the literary canon. Through statistical modeling, we achieve predictive outcomes with accuracy ranging from 70% to 74%, contingent on the chosen scale of canonicity. We believe that these findings detect what Charles Altieri calls a “cultural grammar”, referring to the idea that canonical works in literature serve as foundational texts that shape the norms, values, and conventions of a particular cultural tradition. We posit that this linguistic norm arises from biased latent selection mechanisms linked to the role of the educational system in the canon-formation process.
Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic upon Iraqi women’s Sexual and Reproductive Health at Primary Health Care Centers
Authors: Ghafel Hawraa Hussein 
Published: October 2023

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic on the sexual and reproductive well-being of women.
Methods: Employing a descriptive design with a correlational approach, the study was conducted between November 2021 and July 2022. The sample consisted of (180) women within the reproductive age range of 17 to 49 years. This non-probability 'purposive sample' was chosen deliberately. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and correlational statistics.
Results: The investigation divulged significant findings. A considerable proportion of women (55.6%) reported being unable to access contraception during the pandemic. Moreover, (45%) experienced unintended pregnancies amid the pandemic. Additionally, concerns linked to the pandemic led to a lack of follow-up visits for (73.3%) of participants. The study also highlighted the distressing issue of domestic violence during COVID-19: Over half of the women (51.1%) reported exposure to domestic violence, attributing it to prolonged periods of their husbands staying at home. Furthermore, (51.7%) noted an escalation in domestic violence, and (38.3%) revealed that their husbands showed inadequate concern for their sexual well-being.
Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic detrimentally affected the sexual and reproductive health of women, manifested through challenges encountered during pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum phases, and family planning. Furthermore, a significant proportion of women faced an increased risk of domestic violence due to the pandemic and the extended presence of their husbands at home.
Zoos and Aquariums Can Pay Their Interns: Analyzing Financial Data from 501(c)(3)s
Authors: Marino Jordan 
Published: October 2023

The objective of this study was to compare the financial data of
AZA-accredited 501(c)(3) facilities with paid and unpaid internship
programs. Financial data was collected from each facility’s 2018 Form
990 found from the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Tool. The data were
analyzed to determine if there was a statistically significant
difference in the distribution of each facility’s primary sources of
revenue and expenses. Financial data was also collected and compared on
total revenue, net income, average employee salary, and highest employee
salary. There was no significant difference in the distribution of
revenue and expenses found between facilities with compensated intern
programs and uncompensated intern programs. There was also no
significant difference in the total revenue and net income between
facility types. The results indicate that all AZA-accredited 501(c)(3)s,
regardless of size and operating budget, have the potential to create a
compensated intern program. Facilities with compensated intern programs
had a significantly greater average employee salary, suggesting that
these facilities focus more on compensating staff overall. Facilities
with compensated intern programs were interviewed to collect information
on how these programs were created and funded. Most respondents said
compensation needs to be prioritized and built directly into the annual
budget. More research is recommended to determine why facilities are not
compensating interns and if compensating interns will provide accessible
pathways to zoo and aquarium careers.

Authors: Takure Augustine O. , Adewumi Bankole A. 
Published: October 2023

Background: There is misconception about male Infertility and erectile dysfunction (ED) with poor health seeking behaviour in our clime. This study aims at finding the association between erectile dysfunction and male infertility in Ibadan.
Methods: This was a retrospective comparative study that analysed records of all men with male infertility between May 2016 and April 2023 at the surgical outpatient in a tertiary hospital in Ibadan. Data included demography, social habit, the severity and prevalence of ED, and type of infertility. The data were analysed with a Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. Logistic regression analysed the association between male infertility and erectile dysfunction. A p-value of < 0.05 was regarded as statistically significant.
Results: A total of 109 cases of male infertility of which 65 (59.6%) had ED. The overall mean age for primary and secondary infertility were 37.62 ± 6.95years and 40.62 ± 8.322 years respectively (t=2.892; p< 0.004). The mean age for absence and presence of ED were 39.08 ± 6.61years and 39.56 ± 7.94years respectively (t=0.340; p= 0.734). There is association between alcohol consumption and ED (χ2=6.969; p< 0.008). Similarly, statistically significant association between the ED and the type of infertility as mild, mild-moderate, and moderate ED were commoner among men with primary infertility and all men with severe ED had secondary infertility (χ2=12.283; p<0.015).
Conclusions: The prevalence of erectile dysfunction among male infertility was 59.6% with statistically significant association between the severity of ED and male infertility. Public awareness is advocated.
