Authors: Mohamadian Hashem , Rezaei Mehdi , Kordzanganeh Jafar 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Background: Divorce rates are increasing due to factors like cultural norms, education, and economic independence. In Iran, divorce rates have risen due to modernization, and women's empowerment. This study aims to identify factors contributing to the rise in divorce rates, focusing on the experiences and perspectives of women, judges, and counselors.
Methods:
The study examined divorced women in Ahvaz city from May to December 2022, focusing on the factors influencing their decisions. Participants were selected through purposive sampling and thematic analysis was used to identify themes. Data was collected through semistructured interviews at Ahvaz City Family Court and counseling centers. The study adhered to ethical considerations, and trustworthiness through interpretative rigor evaluation, data transferability, and peer reviews. The researchers utilized multiple data methods to provide a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon.
Results: This study involving 13 women seeking divorce, 5 judges, and 2 counselors identified 16 categories related to the divorce process. In Iran, divorce is considered a man's right, and women's ability to provide divorce attorneys is increasing due to changing social conditions. Family support institutions in Iran often perform poorly, premarital counseling often overlooked. In Khuzestan, reasons for divorce are rooted in traditional contexts, individuals often avoiding counseling due to the stigma and rejection of counseling centers. The pervasive culture of matrimony and desire for financial independence among women contributes to divorce. Violent culture and addiction among men also contribute to divorce. It emphasizes the importance of addressing family issues, recognizing cultural norms, and addressing the root causes of divorce in Khuzestan. Divorces can arise for various reasons, including expediency, economic problems, residential interference, family interference, lack of knowledge, lack of life skills, and the influence of virtual spaces.
Conclusions: Divorce in the Khuzestan region of Iran is taboo, due to cultural norms. However, various factors have led to an increase in divorce requests. Strategies to prevent divorce include enforcing stricter marriage rules, punishing foreigners who illegally marry women, providing married life skills training, promoting equality in marriage, and increasing counseling monitoring and joint meetings for volunteer married individuals and those about to marry.
SPS-UNet:A Super-pixel Sampling UNet for Extracting Buildings from High-resolution Satellite Images
Authors: Zhao Qiuquan , Li Jianyuan 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Fully convolutional networks in general perform well in automatically extracting buildings from high-resolution satellite images. However, we find experimentally that a variety of such methods have low robustness when extracting noisy buildings, which leads to intuitively unreasonable results such as broken segmentations or inaccurate boundaries. In this paper, we propose a super-pixel sampling UNet (SPS-UNet) for tackling this problem, which acts the MobileNetV2 as the backbone and replaces the traditional down-sampling operators with a new learnable super-pixel sampling module (SPSM). We also introduce an additional entropy loss item in the training phase to enhance the certainty of prediction results. Experimental results over two public datasets show that: (1) SPS-UNet outperforms the competing methods in terms of both segmentation accuracies and the robustness to noisy buildings; (2) by plugging SPSM in a variety of existing fully convolutional networks and replacing the traditional rule-based down-sampling operators, the semantic segmentation results can be consistently improved.

Abstract
Purpose: Evaluation and comparison of anterior segment parameters before and after uncomplicated phacoemulsification surgery using the Sirius–Scheimpflug system in patients with and without pseudoexfoliation.
Methods: This retrospective study included 35 eyes of 35 patients without pseudoexfoliation who underwent phacoemulsification surgery (Group 1) and 40 eyes of 37 patients with pseudoexfoliation who underwent phacoemulsification surgery (Group 2). Anterior segment parameters of the patients were evaluated preoperatively and at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months postoperatively using the Sirius–Scheimpflug device. Central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber volume (ACV), anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber angle (ACA), and corneal volume (CV) values were evaluated.
Results: Significant difference was observed between the preoperative and postoperative 1st week, 1st month, 3rd month, and 6th month values of ACA and CV between patients with pseudoexfoliation and the control group (p< 0.05). In CCT measurements, the difference between the preoperative and postoperative values at 1 week and 1 month was significant (p < 0.05), whereas no significant difference was found between the values at 3 months and 6 months.
Conclusion: Phacoemulsification surgery results in a significant reduction in intraocular pressure, an increase in ACD, ACH, and CV, and a widening of the ACA. In patients with pseudoexfoliation, the change in parameters is more dramatic due to the stress exerted on the endothelium by the exfoliative material. When comparing patients with pseudoexfoliation to normal subjects, significant differences were observed, both preoperatively and postoperatively, particularly in CCT, ACA, and CV values.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Referring Expression Comprehension (REC) system solves a task to localize objects in a given image, based on natural language expression. We pro- pose a novel approach to adapting the pre-trained REC model for the manufac- turing domain.
Introduction: Despite significant advances in REC research, current REC datasets fail to recognize objects from specific yet important domains such as manufac- turing due to the absence of domain-specific samples during training. Thus, we introduce a synthetic data-based domain adaptation approach for REC.
Methods: To adapt a REC model to the manufacturing domain, we generated a synthetic REC dataset RefMD that consists of two sub-datasets: 1) dataset for manufacturing object classification, and 2) dataset for REC adaptation to man- ufacturing. Each dataset serves as one step toward the REC adaptation. Adap- tation of the object classification network (visual backbone) is carried out by training ResNet50 on domain-specific labeled data, while the REC adaptation completes with the adaptation of modules in RealGIN altogether. The manufac- turing domain-adapted model is further enhanced with the capability to handle ambiguous referring expressions through human-in-the-loop (HITL) interaction.
Results: The experiments on 3D printed manufacturing objects demonstrate that the interactive REC model can accurately comprehend human instructions with an 82% accuracy.
Conclusion: This paper introduces an approach to facilitate domain adaptation using solely synthetic data for the specific case of the manufacturing domain. However, the proposed adaptation methodology can be applied to any other do- main by following the same synthetic data generation process.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Introduction
This case of congenital insensitivity to pain syndrome from Palestine, sheds light on the challenges of identifying and categorizing the condition. The patient's atypical symptoms including blindness, multiple amputations, and a recent spinal abscess causing tenderness provide new perspectives on the spectrum of HSAN-related disorders.
Case presentation
In this report, we describe the case of a 21-year-old male known to have congenital insensitivity to pain, who presented to the outpatient clinic complaining of fever, restlessness and new onset of back deformity. Further work-up revealed spinal abscess and destruction of multiple vertebrae leading to scoliosis. Treatment involved antibiotics for the spinal abscess, with subsequent resolution and discharge. However, the recurrence of fever prompted additional interventions, including a change in antibiotics and further imaging. Interestingly, the patient's family history showed a hereditary trend with a spectrum of symptoms amongst siblings, his condition resembles different HSAN types, though it does not fit into the classical classification. The patient displayed symptoms commonly seen in HSAN IV, but did not exhibit intellectual disability. The patient's intact ability to produce tears acknowledges the possibility of HSAN VIII.
Conclusion
This case demonstrates the complexities of congenital insensitivity syndromes and the challenges of diagnosing them. The unique clinical symptoms highlight the importance of comprehensive genetic testing for proper diagnosis and classification. Given the limited availability of genetic testing facilities in regions like Palestine, it is crucial to adopt a thoughtful approach to integrating them into regular healthcare practices. This highlights the importance of making diagnoses and conducting research on uncommon disorders such as congenital insensitivity to pain.
Association between Arsenic and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Non-diabetic Mothers: A Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies
Authors: Wu Xiaoli , Jiang Jing , Zhang Jingjing , Qiu Jun 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Objective
Environmental arsenic (As) exposure is a known risk factor for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM). However, there are inconsistent findings in exploring the relationship between As exposure and the occurrence of GDM. To clarify this issue, a systematic review and meta-analysis of epidemiological studies on the association between As and GDM in non-diabetic mothers are carried out.
Methods
PubMed, U.S. National Library of Medicine (MEDLINE), Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang Data were searched, and time interval ranged from database establishment to February 2022, so as to find eligible studies on GDM caused by As exposure. Based on MOOSE guidelines, the characteristics and results were extracted from papers. The determined As in blood, urine, toenail or hair were analyzed. Pooled risk ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were performed to investigate the source of heterogeneity.
Results
Among 315 retrieved items, 1 cross-sectional study, 3 case-control studies, and 6 cohort studies were selected. The results showed a positive correlation between maximum and minimum exposure of As concentration with a pooled odds ratio (OR) of 1.35 (95% CI = 1.09–1.67) and a moderate heterogeneity (χ2 = 40.19, I2 = 72.6%). According to a subgroup analysis, there was a positive correlation between GDM and As levels in blood (OR = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.10–1.65) and urine (OR = 1.33, 95% CI = 1.03–1.71).
Conclusion
The results indicate that As exposure in non-diabetic mothers is associated with an increased risk of GDM. However, due to heterogeneity, the data needs to be interpreted with caution.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
In Ghana, a staggering mental health treatment gap of 95–98% exists due to limited mental healthcare services. To address this gap, Ghana Somubi Dwumadie programme implemented district mental healthcare plans (DMHPs) in three demonstration districts. Collaborating with local stakeholders, the study followed the Programme for Improving Mental Healthcare model, establishing district mental health operations teams. These teams, with representatives from various sectors, utilized a Theory of Change approach to enhance mental health service accessibility. Key components included training non-specialist health workers and enrolling individuals in relevant healthcare programs. Results showed successful integration of mental health services in primary care, improved case detection and care through training sessions, and enrolment of 691 service users in mental health services. The study concludes that DMHPs, implemented with an integrated approach, can significantly reduce the care gap for individuals with mental health conditions, attributing success to committed leadership, resource availability, and stakeholder engagement.
Development of Lr_multi- Cross-validation Model for Prediction of an Imbalanced Dataset in Flood Susceptible Area
Authors: Ayinla B. I. , Oremei C. Akande 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Climate change has a profound impact on human well-being and health. It threatens the fundamental aspects of a good quality of life if not effectively managed. Changes in the frequency and intensity of heavy rainfall events can lead to shifts in the scale and occurrence of river floods, altering how floods happen. This results from warmer temperatures causing increased water evaporation from both land and oceans. However, situations like floods, droughts, and famines raise global concerns. These complex alterations entail calamities and necessitate comprehensive analysis for effective prediction and counteraction. Machine learning algorithms and cross-validation techniques have been employed in the past for flood forecasting by identifying patterns from various indicators. While traditional K-FOLD is an effective and commonly used cross-validation technique, novel adaptations like Multi Predicting Cross-Validation of K-fold, Stratified K-fold, and Repeated K-Fold could address overfitting in imbalanced datasets. Therefore, this study hybridized the application of Logistic Regression to check the distribution of data points for each fold from the three k-fold techniques and builds a Random Forest model for flood prediction. The area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC) was the critical metric due to data imbalance. The new hybridized model demonstrates a marked of improvement when the result was compared with the traditional KNN-based model. The Random Forest had 99% AUPRC, against the previous result of 84.96% from the traditional KNN model. This underscores the power of meticulous model validation in enhancing model selection.
Zero-mode diversity in photonic graphen with vortex distortion: nonlinear response and driving

Published: January 2024

Abstract

Zigzag boundary shaping of the rhombic photonic graphene lattice imparts the capability to selectively excite topologically protected edge modes with distinct spatial distributions. Concurrently, the introduction of a vortex sublattice distortion gives rise to novel vortex-pivoted zero modes. The resulting diversity of zero modes facilitates precise control over the propagation of light — an essential prerequisite for practical applications. We systematically investigate the dynamics of these zero modes in the presence of nonlinear lattice response and various types of disorder, revealing their remarkable resilience to weak nonlinearity and disorder, with negligible mode cross-talk. Furthermore, we establish the conditions of efficient vortex-zero mode lasing achieved through saturable-nonlinear driving from a background noise. The results indicate possibilities for multi-mode lasing in a rhombic lattice, as opposed to a hexagonal lattice, thus advancing a novel category of topological photonic lasers.
Strain-induced modulation of electronic and optical properties in hBN/InSe heterostructure
Authors: Šolajić Andrijana , Pešić Jelena 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Our study delves into the nuanced effects of strain on hBN/InSe heterostructures, known for their exceptional wide-spectrum absorption capabilities. Employing uniform biaxial strain in the range of -6% to 6%, our investigation reveals a powerful method for manipulating the band gap. Notably, intense tensile strain leads to the near-complete elimination of the band gap - an outcome with profound implications. Comparison with hBN/InTe and hBN/GaTe heterostructures underscores the unique behaviour of hBN/InSe, showing a striking resemblance to hBN/GaTe but achieving lower band gap values under tensile strain. These findings provide crucial insights for experimental work and serve as a guide for more intricate theoretical explorations. With its outstanding electronic properties, tunable band gap, and remarkable absorption characteristics, hBN/InSe emerges as a key player in the development of future novel devices.
An Alternative Formulation for the Lagrangian-Averaged Navier-Stokes Equations on Bounded Domains and Convergence to the Navier-Stokes Equations
Authors: Avrin Joel 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
We show that the unforced Lagrangian-averaged Navier-Stokes (LANS-α) equations on a general bounded domain Ω ⊂ R 3 with zero boundary values on ∂Ω = Γ can be written in the form (I + α 2 A)u t + νA(I + α 2 A)u + P (u ·)v + [u] T · v = 0 where P is the Leray projection onto the divergence-free vectors, A = −P ∆ is the Stokes operator, and v = (I + α 2 A)u. This is consistent with the equation derived in [8] on a periodic box, where A in that case is the operator −∆ restricted to the divergence-free vectors. Our formulation uses a result on powers of the Stokes operator developed in [1] and eliminates the pressure term in the traditional manner using the Leray projection P. The extra boundary condition Au = 0 that was originally imposed in [17], and is imposed here for the operator A 2 to be well-dened, was justied in [2] by showing rigorously that it is an inherent mathematical feature of the unforced Navier-Stokes equations. After verifying the global well-posedness of solutions, we establish on any time interval [0, T ] for which there is a common H 1-bound the strong convergence in H 1 (Ω) of our LANS-α solutions to a solution of the Navier-Stokes equations as α → 0. A proof of such convergence was sketched but not fully detailed in [17] for the original LANS-α system on local intervals of existence for strong solutions. The common H 1-bounds we assume also occur on arbitrary intervals [0, T ] in the case of global strong solutions with small initial data, and for larger data on domains with special geometries; additionally they are often assumed in computations.

Revisiting Public Outlay Determinants in African Economies: Fresh Insight from Sustainability Perspectives
Authors: Aladejare Samson Adeniyi 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The objective of this study centred on assessing the impact of sustainability in public outlay determination for 26 African countries. For robustness of analyses, the mean group (MG), feasible generalised least squares (FGLS), generalised linear mixed effects model (GLMM), and the novel method of moments quantile regression (MMQREG) techniques were employed on a dataset sourced between 1990 and 2022. Sustainability indicators were decomposed into economic, social, and environmental components. For the economic indicators, while inflation and revenue had adverse effects, the exchange rate accelerated government spending. The social measures demonstrated that urbanisation diminished public expenditure aside from the increasing impacts of human development and population growth. Similarly, the environmental indicators expressed that demand and supply of ecological resources adversely impacted public outlay in contrast to the enhancing effect of food production. Aggregating these effects suggests that, while the economic and environmental factors are mostly diminishing in impact, the social elements are more accelerating on real government spending. Nevertheless, the magnitude of these impacts varies with the existing size of government expenditure in African economies. Consequently, an encompassing rather than a selective preference for sustainability elements matters in government spending determination.
