Rationale
Conversion practices (CPs) refer to organized attempts to deter people from adopting or expressing non-heterosexual identities or gender identities that differ from their gender/sex assigned at birth. Numerous jurisdictions have contemplated or enacted legislative CP bans in recent years. Syntheses of CP prevalence are needed to inform further public health policy and action.

Objectives
To conduct a systematic review describing CP prevalence estimates internationally and exploring heterogeneity across country and socially relevant subgroups.

Methods
We performed literature searches in eight databases (Medline, Embase, PsycInfo, Social Work Abstracts, CINAHL, Web of Science, LGBTQ+ Source, and Proquest Dissertations) and included studies from all jurisdictions, globally, conducted after 2000 with a sampling frame of sexual and gender minority (SGM) people, as well as studies of practitioners seeing SGM patients. We used the Hoy et al. risk of bias tool for prevalence studies and summarized distribution of estimates using median and range.

Results
We identified fourteen articles that reported prevalence estimates among SGM populations, and two articles that reported prevalence estimates from studies of mental health practitioners. Prevalence estimates among SGM samples ranged 2%-34% (median: 8.5). Prevalence estimates were greater in studies conducted in the US (median: 13%), compared to Canada (median: 7%), and greater among transgender (median: 12%), compared to cisgender (median: 4%) subsamples. Prevalence estimates were greatest among people assigned male at birth, whether transgender (median: 10%) or cisgender (median: 8%), as compared to people assigned female at birth (medians: 5% among transgender participants, 3% among cisgender participants). Further differences were observed by race (medians: 8% among Indigenous and other racial minorities, 5% among white groups) but not by sexual orientation.

Conclusions
CPs remain prevalent, despite denouncements from professional bodies. Social inequities in CP prevalence signal the need for targeted efforts to protect transgender, Indigenous and racial minority, and assigned-male-at-birth subgroups.

Published: October 2023

Background
There are limited data about the association between body mass index (BMI), glycemic variability (GV), and life-related factors in healthy nondiabetic adults.

Methods
This cross-sectional study was carried out within our ethics committee-approved study called “Exploring the impact of nutrition advice on blood sugar and psychological status using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and wearable devices”. Prediabetes was defined by the HbA1c level of 5.7–6.4% and /or fasting glucose level of 100–125 mg/dL. Glucose levels and daily steps were measured for 40 participants using Free Style Libre and Fitbit Inspire 2 under normal conditions for 14 days. Dietary intakes and eating behaviors were assessed using a brief-type self-administered dietary history questionnaire and a modified questionnaire from the Obesity Guidelines.

Results
All indices of GV were higher in the prediabetes group than in the healthy group, but a significant difference was observed only in mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE). In the multivariate analysis, only the presence of prediabetes showed a significant association with the risk of higher than median MAGE (Odds, 6.786; 95% CI, 1.596–28.858; P = 0.010). Additionally, the underweight (BMI < 18.5) group had significantly higher value in standard deviation (23.7 ± 3.5 vs 19.8 ± 3.7 mg/dL, P = 0.038) and coefficient variability (22.6 ± 4.6 vs 18.4 ± 3.2%, P = 0.015), compared to the normal group. This GV can be partially attributed to irregularity of eating habits. On the contrary, the overweight (BMI ≥ 25) group had the longest time above the 140 or 180 mg/dL range, which may be due to eating style and taking fewer steps (6394 ± 2337 vs 9749 ± 2408 steps, P = 0.013).

Conclusions
Concurrent CGM with diet and activity monitoring could reduce postprandial hyperglycemia through assessment of diet and daily activity, especially in non- normal weight individuals.

Published: October 2023

Introduction
A critical step in understanding and preventing running-related injuries (RRIs) is appropriately defining RRIs. Current definitions of RRIs may not represent the full process of injury development, failing to capture lower levels of injury that many athletes continue to train through. Understanding runners’ description and management of the injury development process may allow for a more appropriate examination of all levels of injury. This study aimed to examine recreational runners’ description and management of the injury development process.

Methods
A qualitative focus group study was undertaken. Seven semi-structured focus groups with male (n = 13) and female (n = 18) recreational runners took place. Focus groups were audio and video recorded, and transcribed verbatim. Transcripts were reflexively thematically analysed. A critical friend approach was taken to data coding. Multiple methods of trustworthiness were executed.

Results
Runners describe injury on a nine-level continuum, ranging from injury-free to career-ending injury. There are lower and higher levels of injury. Each level of injury is described across four categories of descriptors; physical description, outcome (effect on running and daily life), psychological description, and management.

Conclusion
The Running Injury Continuum is a tool that can be used for injury surveillance (for healthcare professionals and researchers) and for research investigating RRI risk factors. Healthcare professionals, researchers and coaches must ensure they monitor the development of all levels of RRIs, across all categories of descriptors. Runners need to be educated regarding appropriate self-management strategies for lower level injuries, with access to evidence-based information being a critical management tool.

Published: October 2023

Purpose
To investigate the trends, prevalence and distribution of ocular trauma in a Zimbabwean Tertiary Teaching Hospital (Parirenyatwa).

Method
A hospital-based retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at the Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals, Sekuru Kaguvi Eye Department in Harare, Zimbabwe, to review medical records of patients with ocular trauma visiting for treatment at the outpatient department between January 2017 and December 2021. Information on patients’ demographics, presenting visual acuity, type of ocular trauma, and the number of eyes affected were collected and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics.

Results
A total of 863 patients (1007 eyes) were identified to have experienced ocular trauma of one kind or another, with the youth (18–35 years) reporting with most cases (331, 38.4%). About 71.2% of patients were classified as having open-globe injuries and of that number, 90% were caused by blunt trauma, while the rest were caused by penetrating, intraocular, and perforating injuries. Patients with open-globe injuries were about 10 times more likely to develop blindness than those with closed-globe injuries after adjusting for age and gender, and this was statistically significant (ARR = 9.65, 95% CI: 5.53–16.84, p < 0.001). The prevalence of distance vision impairment due to ocular trauma was 60.1% (95% CI: 56.8%-63.4%), with majority resulting in blindness (22.0%, 95% CI: 19.4%-24.9%).

Conclusion
There is a high prevalence of open-globe injuries in Zimbabwe with blunt trauma being the most significant cause. This suggests the need to promote and intensify public eye health awareness and sensitisation on safety strategies for the prevention of ocular trauma throughout the country.

Published: October 2023

INTRODUCTION:
Coronavirus Disease 2019 disrupted cancer-related care in early 2020.

METHODS:
We used population-based cancer registry data to estimate incidence and mortality rates of gastrointestinal cancers between 2016 and 2020.

RESULTS:
Incidence rates were unchanged from 2016 to 2019 but decreased in 2020, with the largest declines for colorectal cancer (rate ratio [RR] 0.88; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.87–0.90) and hepatocellular carcinoma (RR 0.85; 95% CI 0.82–0.88). Mortality rates of colorectal cancer (RR 1.06; 95% CI 1.04–1.08) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (RR 1.06; 95% CI 1.00–1.13) increased in 2020.

DISCUSSION:
Incidence and mortality rates of gastrointestinal cancers may increase in the future given pandemic-related delays in 2020.

INTRODUCTION:
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) has a major impact on emotional, social, and professional life. This study aimed to evaluate general life satisfaction, a subjective measure of well-being, in IBS patients, and to determine which factors are associated with higher life satisfaction.

METHODS:
IBS patients (n = 195, mean age 51.4 ± 16.5 years, 73.8% female) recruited from primary and secondary/tertiary care completed questionnaires regarding gastrointestinal symptoms, quality of life, psychological factors, and life satisfaction (Satisfaction With Life Scale, 5 items, range 5–35). A finite mixture model analysis was performed to identify latent classes. Multivariable linear regression was used to identify variables associated with life satisfaction.

RESULTS:
Overall, 71.3% of the patients were satisfied about their life (Satisfaction With Life Scale-score ≥21). Three latent subgroups could be identified with significantly higher life satisfaction in the subgroup with higher mental quality of life, fewer anxiety and depressive symptoms, lower gastrointestinal specific anxiety, and lower gastrointestinal symptom severity, compared with the other 2 groups. Multivariable linear regression showed that higher physical quality of life (B0.168, P < 0.001) and higher mental quality of life (B0.199, P < 0.001) were associated with higher life satisfaction. Using multivariable regression, no significant association was found between gastrointestinal symptom severity and life satisfaction.

DISCUSSION:
Higher physical and mental quality of life, but not gastrointestinal symptom severity, were independently associated with higher general life satisfaction in IBS. These findings reinforce the clinical need in IBS treatment to focus on the full extent of the disorder and not merely on gastrointestinal symptom improvement.

Introduction to “The visage as text”
Authors: Gramigna Remo , Leone Massimo 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This brief text introduces the main themes and topics of this collection of articles on “The visage as text: physiognomy, semiotics, and face reading from antiquity to artificial intelligence,” emphasizing the historical continuity of interest in the face as a surface to be scrutinized, investigated, and studied in order to know the individual’s intimacy or future. It points out the intertwining of semeiotic knowledge, which aims at capturing clues in the face to determine a patient’s state of health, and semiotics, which systematizes these inferences within the framework of the circumstantial paradigm. The introduction concludes by pointing out how the new digital technologies of the face are reviving and problematizing anew the semiotic interest in physiognomy understood not as a scientific discipline but as a field of sign attention directed at the face.

Authors: Kandil Islam A. , Awad Ahmed A. , El-Mewafi Mahmoud 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
PPP_Mansoura is a new software that can process multi-GNSS data work on MATLAB environment and linked with C# in the preprocessing stage. It gives highly accurate results and provides a results file for each epoch, and the users can choose the GNSS system they want to run with the primary systems (GPS or GLONASS) and all this with simple MATLAB Code. For testing the software, we processed the raw data (RINEX 3) from 17 MGEX stations for 24 h data during 1-week with a 30-s interval time and submitted it to the new software and PPPH software. The averaged positioning errors obtained from PPP_Mansoura and PPPH were 5.14 mm and 6.9 mm respectively, for the East direction, 11.6 mm and 14 mm for the North direction, and 14.56 mm and 20.4 mm respectively for the Up direction, the averaged convergence time obtained from PPP_Mansoura and PPPH were 35.3 min and 54.47 min, so the results show that PPP_Mansoura give results with high accuracy can be comparable with PPP standards results and PPP software results.
Analysis of differential code biases for GPS receivers over the Indian region
Authors: Sivakrishna Kondaveeti , Venkata Ratnam Devanaboyina 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The GPS Aided Geo Augmented Navigation (GAGAN) system provides the navigational services for single-frequency GNSS user via broadcasting the differential corrections with GEO stationary satellites. The significant differential correction contribution comes from ionospheric time delays and is necessary to be determined precisely. Dual-frequency GPS receivers measure the ionospheric time delays using GPS code and carrier phase measurements. The determination of absolute ionospheric Total Electron Content (TEC) requires the calibration of GPS satellites and receiver hardware biases due to different frequency-dependent signals (L1 and L2) due to environmental changes (Temperature and Humidity). In this paper, A receiver-based Differential Code Biases (DCB) algorithm is implemented to derive a joint estimation of TEC and RDCB parameters using the weighted Least Square (WLS) method. The daily averaged DCBs data for 26 GPS receivers are obtained for 3 years (2014–2016) from 26 GPS reeivers over Indian region. The receiver DCB algorithmis validated with the Fitted Receiver Biases (FRB) method. The correlation (R) between VTEC and RDCB is conducted to investigate the RDCB stability. The results would be useful for the accurate determination of ionospheric differential corrections to GAGAN users.
Language-History-Culture of Mongolia and Korea on the Issue of Affiliation
Authors: Davaajav Gundsambuu , Оtgon Tseveendorj 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Nowadays, Mongolia cooperates with the Republic of Korea in all spheres of social life. Due to the intensive cooperation between the two sides, the influence of Korean culture in Mongolia is relatively large. This is due to the important role played by the “Cultural Wave” in Mongolia, i.e. television series, K-pop music, and Korean language education. A positive understanding of Korea, formed through language and cultural relations, is of great importance for deepening mutual understanding between citizens and developing friendly relations between the two countries. However, research on things related to Mongolian cultural heritage in Korea is rare. In the future, things related to Mongolian cultural heritage in Korea should be studied more. It can affect the process of relations between the two countries and determine the future direction. Therefore, we considered the relationship between language, culture and history of Mongolians and Koreans.
Disassembling Descola: Phenomenological Intersections in Onto-Typological Anthropology
Authors: García-Labrador Julián , Vinolo Stéphane 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
One of the effects of the so-called ontological turn has been to take the other so seriously that radical difference has been conceptualized ontologically. This stance has given rise, in some authors, as Descola, to a typological classification. However, we would suggest the possibility of a non-onto-typological anthropology based on Marion’s phenomenology of givenness. With the phenomenology of givenness, from which phenomena are given to a gifted – and therefore secondary – subject, this new understanding of subject allows us to think of phenomena as significations much more than as representations and to replace the discontinuity of ontological categories with the continuity of hermeneutics.
Luxus – Ein Streifzug
Authors: Dederich Markus 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Der Beitrag nähert sich dem Phänomen des Luxus und seiner sehr unterschiedlichen, in Teilen auch unvereinbaren Deutungen. Ziel ist es nicht, eine bestimmte Konzeption als die überlegene oder letztendlich richtige herauszustellen, sondern die Vielfalt der Zugänge aufzufächern. Diese umfassen dezidiert kulturkritische bis kulturpessimistische Deutungen, scharfe Kontrastierungen von Luxus und Askese oder kapitalismuskritische Einsätze. Näher betrachtet werden Peter Sloterdijks historisch-anthropologische Hypothese, der zufolge der auf eine sehr spezifische Weise verstandene Luxus eine zentrale Bedingung für die Menschwerdung des homo sapiens ist; das u.a. von Thorstein Veblen vertretene soziologische Standardmodell, das Luxus funktional als Mittel zum Zweck fasst; Werner Sombarts Versuch, Luxus als Motor der Entwicklung kapitalistischer Gesellschaften zu rekonstruieren; schließlich Lambert Wiesings Phänomenologie des Luxus, die ihrerseits ganz eigene Wege beschreitet.
An Anatomy of a Crisis in Ecclesiastical Leadership: Isidore and Eusebius in Pelusium
Authors: de Bruyn Theodore 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This paper investigates a crisis in leadership in the Christian church after changes in imperial policy made it more acceptable socially and more advantageous financially to occupy clerical positions. For several decades in the early 5th century, Isidore of Pelusium and his network of friends reproached and lamented the venal conduct of Eusebius, bishop of Pelusium, and several clerics he had appointed. But their efforts to alter the situation had little effect. To understand why this was so, the paper considers the types of people who wrote letters lamenting the situation in order to understand the nature of their response in relation to their social or political position, and it explores reasons why Eusebius and the other clerics were not dislodged by the censure and even derision of their critics. The conflict, it is argued, exposes the limitations of παρρησία as a means of altering the actions of the powerful and qualifies the role of ascetic authority in the de facto exercise of episcopal office in Late Antiquity.

AbstractATPase family AAA domain‐containing protein 1 (ATAD1) maintains mitochondrial homeostasis by removing mislocalized tail‐anchored (TA) proteins from the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM). Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection induces mitochondrial fragmentation, and viral NS5B protein is a TA protein. Here, we investigate whether ATAD1 plays a role in regulating HCV infection. We find that HCV infection has no effect on ATAD1 expression, but knockout of ATAD1 significantly enhances HCV infection; this enhancement is suppressed by ATAD1 complementation. NS5B partially localizes to mitochondria, dependent on its transmembrane domain (TMD), and induces mitochondrial fragmentation, which is further enhanced by ATAD1 knockout. ATAD1 interacts with NS5B, dependent on its three internal domains (TMD, pore‐loop 1, and pore‐loop 2), and induces the proteasomal degradation of NS5B. In addition, we provide evidence that ATAD1 augments the antiviral function of MAVS upon HCV infection. Taken together, we show that the mitochondrial quality control exerted by ATAD1 can be extended to a novel antiviral function through the extraction of the viral TA‐protein NS5B from the mitochondrial outer membrane.

AbstractCell signaling is central to neuronal activity and its dysregulation may lead to neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. Here, we show that selective genetic potentiation of neuronal ERK signaling prevents cell death in vitro and in vivo in the mouse brain, while attenuation of ERK signaling does the opposite. This neuroprotective effect mediated by an enhanced nuclear ERK activity can also be induced by the novel cell penetrating peptide RB5. In vitro administration of RB5 disrupts the preferential interaction of ERK1 MAP kinase with importinα1/KPNA2 over ERK2, facilitates ERK1/2 nuclear translocation, and enhances global ERK activity. Importantly, RB5 treatment in vivo promotes neuroprotection in mouse models of Huntington's (HD), Alzheimer's (AD), and Parkinson's (PD) disease, and enhances ERK signaling in a human cellular model of HD. Additionally, RB5‐mediated potentiation of ERK nuclear signaling facilitates synaptic plasticity, enhances cognition in healthy rodents, and rescues cognitive impairments in AD and HD models. The reported molecular mechanism shared across multiple neurodegenerative disorders reveals a potential new therapeutic target approach based on the modulation of KPNA2‐ERK1/2 interactions.
