Pluralistic Ignorance and Non-Use of Modern Contraceptives in Southwestern Nigeria: A Qualitative Study Using the Social Norms Theory
Authors: Binuyo Olutomiwa A. 
Published: May 2023

Background: The 2018 National Demographic Health Survey (NDHS) revealed that out of the current non-users of contraceptives amongst married women, only 38% of them made their own decision to abstain. The remaining 62% either decided jointly with their partner or the partner solely decided for them. This elicits the notion that social expectations within reference networks could influence the use of modern contraceptives (MCs) in Nigeria.
Methods: 16 structured qualitative interviews were used to gather the beliefs, attitudes and social expectations of the respondents as regards the non-use of MCs between March and June 2020. Through snowballing sampling method, residents in the Ibadan Metropolis, southwest Nigeria responded to the hypothetical scenarios presented by the vignettes during interviews. Data were analysed using the Social Norms Analysis Plot framework. This framework serves as the checklist for the reporting of findings. Basic ethical principles were upheld throughout the study.
Results: Seven categories and five main themes emerged from this study. These categories include gender norms, social influence, peer pressure, myths, misconceptions, awareness and pluralistic ignorance. The themes were generated using the Social Norms Analysis Plot framework and they include empirical expectation, normative expectations, sanctions, sensitivity to sanctions and exceptions. The majority of the respondents strongly believe that most women in their community will not use contraceptives simply because of their male partners and friends. Out of those who do not use MCs due to social expectations, it was seen that the majority personally support its use.
Conclusion: To promote the uptake of modern contraceptive use in Southwest Nigeria, it is important to update people’s social expectations. The findings of these study studies are relevant for policymakers and civil society organizations in designing effective intervention reproductive health programs in different regions of Nigeria (especially areas of lower use of modern contraceptives).

RESUMO:
Mastite puerperal é uma condição inflamatória da glândula mamária bastante associada ao período de lactação seguida de um estágio não infeccioso para uma mastite infecciosa. O trabalho objetivou delimitar os fatores associados a maior e menor propensão de mastite no puerpério, através de uma revisão de literatura realizada nas base de dados PubMed, Cochrane e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, com os descritores "mastitis”, "puerperal mastitis" e “breast infection after childbirth”. Artigos incompatíveis com o objetivo foram excluídos e foram selecionados artigos entre 2015 e 2021. É comum ocorrer nas primeiras seis a oito semanas de pós-parto. Foram identificados 42 fatores de risco potenciais divididos em três categorias: relacionados aos comportamentos, relacionadas às características maternas e relacionadas ao puerpério, sendo a lesão mamilar o principal. Práticas como aumentar a frequência das mamadas, alternar as mamas em que se inicia a amamentação e autocuidado das mamas após o aleitamento diminuem p risco da patologia. Fica explícito que grande parcela dos fatores de risco e protetores para mastite são comportamentais, logo sendo possível modificá-los para que haja uma diminuição progressiva da sua incidência.
PALAVRAS CHAVES: Mama; Mastatis; Fatores de Risco; Período Pós-Parto; Doenças Mamárias.

Published: May 2023

It is yet unknown how the formation of aneurysm inside the human body occurs. Thus, the understanding and analysis of the Coanda effect will result in a better overview of the overall fluid mechanics that develops inside such a structure, leading not only to better treatment plans, but also to diminished postoperative risks.
This paper presents how the fluid behaves in this situation, and takes into consideration how this physical phenomenon influences the hemodynamics inside numerous anatomical regions, located in the central nervous system, where aneurysms usually develop.
Analyzing the three main areas in which cerebral aneurysms form the Coanda effect can potentially lead to the rupture of the aneurysm, by changing the blood flow trajectory, it should be taken into consideration when choosing a treatment plan, especially in postoperative care. In addition, there are other factors that can influence the evolution of an aneurysm such as shape, size, localization and the patient’s health condition.
Understanding and analysis of the Coanda effect will result in a better overview of the overall fluid mechanics that develops inside such a structure, leading not only to better treatment plans, but also to diminished postoperative risks.

Феофил Коридаллевс о природе логики и её отличии от риторики
Authors: Спиридонова Лидия Валентиновна , Курбанов Андрей Викторович 
Published: May 2023

Феофил Коридаллевс (1574–1646), глава Патриаршей школы в Константинополе, был одним из ярких представителей одновременно как падуанской, так и греческой школы. Первое сочинение в своём логическом компендиуме Коридаллевс целиком посвящает исследованию природы логики. В первую очередь, он доказывает, что логика не может являться эпистеме (ἐπιστήμη / scientia), а только техне (τέχνη / ars). Для этого он делает подробный обзор значения данных понятий у Аристотеля, чем показывает различие в их понимании современными и латинскими авторами. Коридаллевс не признаёт выделения практической (utens) и теоретической (docens) логики, что позволяло схоластам относить последнюю к scientia. Коридаллевс также не соглашается с положением стоиков, согласно которому логика является частью философии, он считает её инструментом философии. Подробным образом он останавливается на предмете (ὑποκείμενον) логики, а точнее — её материи (поскольку логика является техне, то она имеет материю), а также её целях, т.е. родительном и дательном телосе (τέλος), которые выделял Аристотель на основании грамматических особенностей греческого языка. Таким образом, Коридаллевс пришёл к выводу, что логика — это инструментальная техне философии, чью материю составляют понятия (νοήματα), выраженные словами (φωναί), означающими вещи; она даёт нам правила, с помощью которых из значащих слов составляются логические инструменты — это и есть её родительный телос, в свою очередь этими инструментами пользуется философия, что позволяет реализовать дательный телос — различение истины от лжи. Риторика, чью материю также составляют слова, отличается образом действия, узостью предмета и иной целью, которой является убеждение аудитории. Отсюда риторика, выходящая из «Топики», является инструментом практической философии, целью которой является благо, тогда как логика — это инструмент теоретической философии, целью которой является познание истины.
Emulating emotional quotient – an augmented BELBIC based strategy for harmonic recession in photovoltaic microgrids
Authors: Brislin Joe , Maruthachalam Sundaram 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
For the harmonic suppression in photovoltaic microgrids, two interdependent control loops: primary current control loop and secondary voltage control loop is necessary. In this paper, an intelligent secondary controller depicting brain emotional learning based intelligent controller (BELBIC) is suggested. The primitive nature of mammalian brain to learn using emotional quotient is the underlying theory of BELBIC. The original BELBIC is augmented with state awareness knowledge and an upgraded a-BELBIC is proposed in this paper. The proposed controller acquires intelligence through emotional learning and gives promising results in state detection and harmonics deduction. It is also intended to resolve harmonic surge caused by redundant control actions, without compromising on the dynamic response of system. Additionally, it also remains unaffected by insignificant variations during the steady state and reduces the overwork of the primary current controller due to weather deviations. It is completely model-free and is proved to handle computational complexity, system ambiguity and non-linearity. It is compared with PI and NN controller to prove its excellence in harmonic recession and combating subharmonics Moreover, the primary controller administering current control in the inner loop is carried out by the finite control set based model predictive control (MPC). Comprehensively, the validation of robust primary controller and proposed intelligent secondary controller for diversified test cases is assessed using simulations performed in MATLAB/Simulink mathematical engine and tested for hardware-in-loop efficacy using dSPACE DS1104 RTI. The proposed a-BELBIC is observed to reduce the settling time by 18.75%, overshoot by 17.05% and the execution time by 75% in comparison to NN Controller.

Abstract
Poor bone quality (BQ) is a major factor in skeletal fragility in the elderly. Molecular mechanisms establishing and maintaining BQ, independent of bone mass, are unknown but are thought to be primarily determined by osteocytes. We hypothesize that the age-related decline in BQ results from suppression of osteocyte perilacunar/canalicular remodeling (PLR), which maintains bone material properties. We examined bones from young and aged mice with an osteocyte-intrinsic repression of TGFβ signaling (TβRIIocy-/-) that suppresses PLR. Control-aged bone displayed decreased TGFβ signaling and PLR, but aging male TβRIIocy-/- bone did not worsen existing PLR suppression. This epistatic relationship impacted collagen material behavior at the nano and tissue scale in macromechanical tests. The effects of age on bone mass, density, and mineral material behavior were independent of osteocytic TGFβ. We determine that the decline of BQ with age arises from lost osteocyte function and maintenance of collagen integrity in a TGFβ-dependent fashion.
Behind Political Affiliation: How Moral Values, Identity Politics and Party Loyalty Have Affected COVID-19Vaccine Uptake
Authors: Fortunato Piergiuseppe , Lombini Alessio 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This paper examines the association between political partisanship, moral values, and willingness to vaccinate against COVID-19 across U.S. counties. It shows how vaccine hesitancy has been strongly associated with political affiliation since the early stages of the vaccination campaign, with higher differences recorded in historically partisan counties. These differences are shown to be partly explained by the moral values that underpin political preferences, in particular those linked to altruism and fairness, that are more diffused in the Democratic electorate. The paper also unveils significant differences that emerged within the Republican field, uncovering the specific role plaid by the populist right-wing of the Party, and examines loyalty effects related to the presence of co-partisan state governors. All the results remain qualitatively unaffected when taking into consideration differences in the timing of vaccination campaigns across states and the potential endogeneity of political preferences.

Abstract
Recent studies on pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (pAML) have revealed pediatric-specific driver alterations, many of which are underrepresented in the current classification schemas. To comprehensively define the genomic landscape of pAML, we systematically categorized 895 pAML into 23 molecular categories that are mutually distinct from one another, including new entities such as UBTF or BCL11B, covering 91.4% of the cohort. These molecular categories were associated with unique expression profiles and mutational patterns. For instance, molecular categories characterized by specific HOXA or HOXB expression signatures showed distinct mutation patterns of RAS pathway genes, FLT3, or WT1, suggesting shared biological mechanisms. We show that molecular categories were strongly associated with clinical outcomes using two independent cohorts, leading to the establishment of a prognostic framework for pAML based on molecular categories and minimal residual disease. Together, this comprehensive diagnostic and prognostic framework forms the basis for future classification of pAML and treatment strategies.
Retrofitting an Existing Multi-Span Continuous Reinforced Concrete Highway Bridge by Using the Concept of Weakening and Viscous Damping

Published: May 2023

Abstract
It's crucial to keep bridges safe and operational all the time. They may require immediate seismic retrofitting before or after an earthquake. A solution could be using the concepts of weakening and damping, which have not been widely used in bridge applications. The weakening is achieved by isolating piers with Elastomer Bearings (EBs), and viscous dampers are added for the damping part. Since a proper damping coefficient distribution and velocity exponent are required for the concept, the study investigated an optimal velocity exponent and presented a novel iterative-based design approach for viscous damper distributions. The results revealed that Sys1 (EBs + nonlinear viscous damper) and Sys2 (EBs + linear viscous damper) lowered the maximum bending moment of the most affected pier between 77% and 89%, and 82% and 90.5%, respectively when compared to the “pier fixed” system (i.e., the piers are fixed to the deck). For the maximum deck shear force, Sys1 increased the forces between 70% and 155%, whereas Sys2 increased the forces between 17% and 77%. In conclusion, Sys2 outperformed Sys1 by lowering the piers' bending moment and resulting in lower deck shear forces. Deck shear forces could also be decreased to a tolerable level by selecting a bearing with different mechanical properties (such as a lead rubber bearing).

Published: May 2023

Abstract
Background Hearing voices groups (HVGs) are an alternative way of treating acoustic-verbal hallucinations. Although they have been developing in France for the last decade, they have lagged behind their international expansion. The representations that circulate about their functioning and their effects are likely to influence the referral to these groups by mental health professionals.Aims We created and used a questionnaire to survey mental health professionals’ representations of voice hearing groups.Method We surveyed 79 French health professionals using a questionnaire with 19 closed items. 7 additional items allowed us to specify the professional status and familiarity of the participants with the HVGs.Results Professionals generally shared positive representations of HVGs but had very approximate knowledge of them. The subgroup of the most familiar professionals (N = 45) differed significantly on 7 items from the subgroup of non-familiars (N = 35).Conclusions HVGs are represented as one medical offer among others, of little clinical use and indicated only for psychotic voice-hearing patients, which seems to be a misunderstanding in every case. However, our study also shows that these opinions evolve with the degree of familiarity with HVGs. Certain representations need to be corrected so that quality information can be circulated about HVGs and improve their integration into their ecosystem.

Abstract
Molecular mechanisms transducing physical forces in the bone microenvironment to regulate bone mass are poorly understood. Here, we used mouse genetics, mechanical loading, and pharmacological approaches to test the possibility that polycystin-1 and TAZ have interdependent mechanosensing functions in osteoblasts. We created and compared the skeletal phenotypes of control Pkd1flox/+;TAZflox/+, single Pkd1Oc-cKO, single TAZOc-cKO, and double Pkd1/TAZOc-cKO mice to investigate genetic interactions. Consistent with an interaction between polycystins and TAZ in bone in vivo, double Pkd1/TAZOc-cKO mice exhibited greater reductions of BMD and periosteal MAR than either single TAZOc-cKO or Pkd1Oc-cKO mice. Micro-CT 3D image analysis indicated that the reduction in bone mass was due to greater loss in both trabecular bone volume and cortical bone thickness in double Pkd1/TAZOc-cKO mice compared to either single Pkd1Oc-cKO or TAZOc-cKO mice. Double Pkd1/TAZOc-cKO mice also displayed additive reductions in mechanosensing and osteogenic gene expression profiles in bone compared to single Pkd1Oc-cKO or TAZOc-cKO mice. Moreover, we found that double Pkd1/TAZOc-cKO mice exhibited impaired responses to tibia mechanical loading in vivo and attenuation of load-induced mechanosensing gene expression compared to control mice. Finally, control mice treated with a small molecule mechanomimetic MS2 had marked increases in femoral BMD and periosteal MAR compared to vehicle control. In contrast, double Pkd1/TAZOc-cKO mice were resistant to the anabolic effects of MS2 that activates the polycystin signaling complex. These findings suggest that PC1 and TAZ form an anabolic mechanotransduction signaling complex that responds to mechanical loading and serve as a potential novel therapeutic target for treating osteoporosis.

Abstract
A facile technique was reported for fabricating high conductivity and improved strength of linear low-density polyethylene/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (LLDPE /MWNTs) composite films by the ultrasonication anchoring technique and compression molding treatment. Thermal property, mechanical property, electrical conductivity, microstructures, optical property and organic vapor sensing behaviors of the MWNTs/LLDPE composite films were studied. The MWNTs are uniformly anchored onto the surface of LLDPE matrix and the conductive networks are easily formed by the ultrasonication anchoring technique. After compression molding treatment, the incorporation of MWNTs causes an easier formation of LLDPE extended-chain, which is wrapped around of MWNTs shish. The MWNTs/LLDPE composite films exhibit excellent conductivity of 2.79×105 Ω∙cm with 0.15 wt% MWNTs anchored. Meanwhile, the tensile strength of the composite films reaches 18.9 MPa. Interestingly, transparency is not significantly reduced. The sensitivity and reversibility to two typical solvents, i.e., acetone and xylene, during exposure-drying runs have been demonstrated. This work opens a new orientation to optimize the conductivity of MWNTs/LLDPE composite films with a wide range of prospect in the field of vapor sensor.
Identification of stable QTLs and candidate genes associated with plant height and spike length in common wheat
Authors: Sardouei-Nasab Somayeh , Mohammadi-Nejad Ghasem , Nakhoda Babak 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Three RIL mapping populations derived from bi-parental crosses between a common parental line Roshan (Triticum aestivum L.) and three cultivars: Sabalan, Falat and Superhead. RILs were grown over three years at five separate locations under water stress and well-watered condition. Plant height and spike length were collected at each experiment. Genetic map distances among markers were carried out using DArT markers. Single-environment and multi-environment analyses were performed using inclusive composite interval mapping (ICIM). Epistasis and epistasis × environment interactions were also performed through an epistatic QTL analysis in Ici-Mapping 4. Single locus analysis allowed the detection of 32 main effect QTL (M-QTL) in the three populations. Three novel stable and non-epistatic QTL, one QTL for plant height (qPH1D, in Sabalan background) and two QTLs for spike length (qSL1D and qSL1B.3, in Falat and Superhead backgrounds, respectively) were identified. 191 candidate genes were predicted in the physical interval between the flanking markers on chromosomes 1B, 1D and 4B. 20 genes were highlighted as putative candidate genes with probable role in plant height and spike-related traits in wheat. These results would lay a good foundation for fine mapping of QTLs/genes for molecular marker-assisted breeding in wheat in the future.
