AbstractObjectivesTo assess the impact of the transition from film to digital mammography in the Australian national breast cancer screening program.Study designRetrospective linked population health data analysis (New South Wales Central Cancer Registry, BreastScreen NSW); interrupted time series analysis.SettingNew South Wales, 2002–2016.ParticipantsWomen aged 40 years or older with breast cancer diagnosed during 2002–2017 who had been screened by BreastScreen NSW and for whom complete follow‐up information until the end of the recommended re‐screening interval was available.InterventionTransition from film to digital mammography; 2009 defined as transition year (digital mammography becomes dominant screening modality).Main outcome measuresPopulation rates of screen‐detected cancer, interval cancer, recalls, and false positive findings.ResultsThe study cohort comprised 967 573 women; of the 2 741 555 screens, 1 535 184 used film mammography (2002–2010) and 1 206 371 used digital mammography (2006–2016). The screen‐detected cancer rate was 4.86 (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.75–4.97) cases per 1000 screens with film mammography and 6.11 (95% CI, 5.97–6.24) cases per 1000 screens with digital mammography (unadjusted difference, 1.24 [95% CI, 1.06–1.41] cases per 1000 screens). The interval cancer rate was 2.56 (95% CI, 2.48–2.64) cases per 1000 screens with film mammography and 2.84 (95% CI, 2.75–2.94) cases per 1000 screens with digital mammography (unadjusted difference, 0.27 [95% CI, 0.15–0.40] cases per 1000 screens). With the transition to digital mammography, the screen‐detected cancer rate increased by 0.07 per 1000 screens, the sum of the decline in the invasive cancer rate (–0.21 cases per 1000 screens) and the rise in the ductal carcinoma in situ detection rate (0.28 cases per 1000 screens); during 2009–2015, it increased by 0.18 cases per 1000 screens per year. With the transition to digital mammography, the interval cancer rate increased by 0.75 cases per 1000 screens (invasive cancer: by 0.69 cases per 1000 screens); during 2009–2015, it declined by 0.13 cases per 1000 screens per year. The recall rate increased by 8.02 per 1000 screens and the false positive rate by 7.16 per 1000 screens following the transition; both rates subsequently declined to pre‐transition levels.ConclusionsThe increased screen‐detected cancer rate following the transition to digital mammography was not accompanied by a reduction in interval cancer detection rates.

In response to the rise in mental health problems among youth during the COVID-19 pandemic, we conducted a qualitative study in March 2022, using a user-centered design approach guided by ecological theories, to adapt group support psychotherapy into tele-support psychotherapy (TSP) via mobile phones. The development of a call platform, informed by the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology, was integrated into the Medical Concierge Group’s (TMCG) telehealth services under Rocket Health Africa. This platform included a dedicated toll-free line for psychotherapy, connecting users with lay counselors. An open-label randomized controlled trial (PACTR202201684613316) was conducted to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of TSP in combination with standard mental health services (n = 154) compared with standard mental health services alone (n = 146) among youth with mild to moderate major depression in Kampala. Participants commonly equated mental health with mental illness and reported significant challenges, including financial stress, substance abuse, and family dysfunction. Although digital interventions were largely accepted, some participants preferred in-person services. The adapted TSP maintained gender sensitivity and used folk tales, stories, riddles, and creative visualizations to facilitate emotional expression, acquisition of coping strategies, and income-generating skills, addressing both emotional and socio-economic needs.
Legal and Ethical Dimensions of Islamic Microfinance in Poverty Alleviation: A Critical Analysis
Authors: Olaitan Abdulkabir Oladapo  
Published: January 2025

According to the World Bank’s (2019) study, poverty accounts for more than 70% of the total population in Nigeria, implying that over 130 million people in the country, live in poverty. This pathetic situation is further aggravated by financial exclusion whereby low-income people are neglected away from the financial system because they are considered uneconomical to serve or too difficult to reach. According to the World Bank’s Global Findex, 1.7 billion adults globally are financially excluded, living without formal credit or savings (FINCA International, 2024). Recently, microfinance has emerged as an important instrument of poverty alleviation in the developing countries with more than 7000 micro lending institutions providing loans to more than 25 million poor individuals across the world (Dahiru and Hassan, 2008). Despite the number of microfinance banks in Nigeria with over 800 of them in the country, Microfinance banks’ contribution to Nigeria’s economy is less than 1% (National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), 2020). The question now is, where lies the problem? Through a doctrinal approach, it is observed that the system of operation and management of Microfinance banks in Nigeria has eroded their primary objective (financial inclusion). This is mainly due to the imposition of high interest rate by Microfinance Institutions, poor risk management mechanism, weak organizational structure, insufficient capital, shortage of experts, among others. With its success in some parts of Nigeria such as Al-Barakah Microfinance Bank in Lagos state, Islamic microfinance is recommended to be the real solution in achieving financial inclusion through its products that are interest-free and customer-friendly to the poor and middle-class citizens, in a bid to ensure optimum poverty alleviation in a well regulated and ethical business environment.

A New Paradigm for Server-Aided MPC
Authors: Scafuro Alessandra , Verber Tanner 
Published: January 2025

The server-aided model for multiparty computation (MPC) was introduced to capture a real-world scenario where clients wish to off-load the heavy computation of MPC protocols to dedicated servers. A rich body of work has studied various trade-offs between security guarantees (e.g., semi-honest vs malicious), trust assumptions (e.g., the threshold on corrupted servers), and efficiency.
However, all existing works make the assumption that all clients must agree on employing the same servers, and accept the same corruption threshold. In this paper, we challenge this assumption and introduce a new paradigm for server-aided MPC, where each client can choose their own set of servers and their own threshold of corrupted servers. In this new model, the privacy of each client is guaranteed as long as their own threshold is satisfied, regardless of the other servers/clients. We call this paradigm per-party private server-aided MPC to highlight both a security and efficiency guarantee: (1) per-party privacy, which means that each party gets their own privacy guarantees that depend on their own choice of the servers; (2) per-party complexity, which means that each party only needs to communicate with their chosen servers. Our primary contribution is a new theoretical framework for server-aided MPC. We provide two protocols to show feasibility, but leave it as a future work to investigate protocols that focus on concrete efficiency.
Lattice-based Multi-Authority/Client Attribute-based Encryption for Circuits
Authors: Cini Valerio , Lai Russell , Woo Ivy 
Published: January 2025

Multi-authority/input attribute-based encryption (MA-/MI-ABE) are multi-party extensions of ABE which enable flavours of decentralised cryptographic access control. This work aims to advance research on multi-party ABE and their lattice-based constructions in several directions:
- We introduce the notion of multi-client (MC-)ABE. This can be seen as an augmentation of MI-ABE with the addition of a ciphertext identity (CID) in the syntax, or a specialisation of multi-client functional encryption (MC-FE) to the ABE setting.
- We adapt the 2-input (2I-)ABE of Agrawal et al. (CRYPTO'22), which is heuristically secure yet without a security proof, into a 2-client (2C-)ABE, and prove it satisfies a variant of very-selective security under the learning with errors (LWE) assumption.
- We extend Wee's ciphertext-policy (CP-)ABE (EUROCRYPT'22) to the MA setting, yielding an MA-ABE. Furthermore, combining techniques in Boneh et al.'s key-policy ABE (EUROCRYPT'14) and our MA-ABE, we construct an MC-ABE. We prove that they satisfy variants of very-selective security under the evasive LWE, tensor LWE, and LWE assumptions.
All our constructions support policies expressed as arbitrary polynomial-size circuits, feature distributed key generation (for MA) and encryption (for 2C/MC), and are proven secure in the random oracle model. Although our constructions only achieve limited security against corrupt authorities/clients, the fully distributed key generation/encryption feature makes them nevertheless non-trivial and meaningful.
Prior to this work, existing MA-ABEs only support up to NC1 policies regardless of their security against corrupt authorities; existing MI-ABEs only support up to constant-many encryptors/clients and do not achieve any security against corrupt encryptors/clients; and MC-ABEs only existed in the form of MC-FEs for linear and quadratic functions.
On Loopy Belief Propagation for SASCAs

Published: January 2025

Profiled power analysis is one of the most powerful forms of passive side-channel attacks. Over the last two decades, many works have analyzed their impact on cryptographic implementations as well as corresponding countermeasure techniques. To date, the most advanced variants of profiled power analysis are based on Soft-analytical Side-Channel Attacks (SASCA). After the initial profiling phase, a SASCA adversary creates a probabilistic graphical model, called a factor graph, of the target implementation and encodes the results of the previous step as prior information. Then, an inference algorithm such as loopy Belief Propagation (BP) can be used to recover the distribution of a target variable in the graph, i.e., sensitive data/keys.
Designers of cryptographic implementations aim to reduce information leakage as much as possible and assess how much leakage can be allowed without compromising security requirements. Despite the existence of many works on profiled power analysis, it is still notoriously difficult to state under which conditions a cryptographic implementation provides sufficient protection against a profiling attacker with certain capabilities. In particular, it is unknown when a BP-based attack is optimal or whether tuning some heuristics in that algorithm may significant strengthen the attack.
This knowledge gap led us to investigate the effectiveness of BP for SASCAs by studying the modes of failures of BP in the context of the SASCA, and systematically analyzing the behavior of BP on practically-relevant factor graphs. We use exact inference to gauge the quality of the approximation provided by BP. Through this assessment, we show that there exists a significant disparity between BP and exact inference in terms of guessing entropy when performing SASCAs on several classes of factor graphs. We further review and analyze various BP improvement heuristics from the literature.

Background: Multimorbidity, the presence of two or more chronic conditions in an individual, presents significant challenges in primary care, including fragmented care, higher healthcare costs, and difficulty in care coordination. Integrating nursing professionals into primary care teams has been proposed as a strategy to enhance access, improve care quality, and address these challenges. However, limited attention has been given to understanding patients’ perspectives, particularly those with multimorbidity, regarding the inclusion of health care staff in primary care practices. Methods: This qualitative descriptive study utilized semi-structured interviews to explore the perceptions of patients with multimorbidity toward the integration of health care staff in primary care settings. Participants were recruited from diverse healthcare environments, ensuring varied experiences with collaborative care models. Patients with five or more chronic illnesses were purposefully sampled, with interviews focusing on their experiences and expectations of health care staff involvement in primary care. Thematic analysis of interview transcripts was conducted using NVivo software, employing both inductive and deductive coding methods. Results: 28 participants with diverse chronic conditions were interviewed, with most expressing openness to health care staff involvement in primary care. Three central themes emerged: Expectations of Enhanced Care: Participants anticipated improved accessibility and continuity of care through health care staff integration but highlighted concerns about reduced access to physicians. Perception of the Health care staff ’s Role: While many viewed health care staff in supportive roles, others recognized their broader responsibilities in patient education, chronic disease management, and medication monitoring. Trust in health care staff ’ competence varied, with participants favoring physician oversight for complex tasks. Conditions for Effective Integration: Patients emphasized the need for clear role definitions, robust communication between health care staff and doctors, adherence to protocols, and continuity of care with the same health care staff to build trust. Conclusion: Patients with multimorbidity generally support the integration of health care staff into primary care teams, recognizing potential benefits in accessibility and care coordination. However, successful implementation requires clear delineation of roles, effective communication, and strategies to build trust. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating patient perspectives into healthcare system reforms to ensure collaborative care models meet their needs effectively.

Refrigeration systems play a critical role in various sectors of Nigeria’s economy, particularly in food preservation, healthcare, and industrial processes. However, the use of conventional synthetic refrigerants, which contribute significantly to global warming and ozone depletion, poses environmental challenges. This study presents a thermodynamic analysis of single-stage vapor compression refrigeration systems in Nigeria, focusing on the use of natural refrigerants as eco-friendly alternatives to identify eco-friendly refrigerant alternatives for Nigeria’s climate. This study conducts a thermodynamic analysis of single-stage vapor compression refrigeration systems in Nigeria, evaluating natural refrigerants such as ammonia (R-717), propane (R-290), and isobutane (R-600a) as alternatives to synthetic refrigerants that contribute to global warming and ozone depletion. Using Engineering Equation Solver (EES) software, the study assesses the impact of varying operational conditions on the coefficient of performance (COP) for each refrigerant The effect in the variation of five operating parameters of refrigeration system such as Condensing Temperature (TC), Evaporating Temperature (TE), Subcooling Temperature (TSub), Superheating Temperature (TSup) and refrigerant mass flow rate ( ) on the Coefficient of Performance (COP) of are R-600a, R-600, R-717 and R-290 refrigeration systems were investigated and performance comparison was made to get the most suitable replacement for the older systems. The results showed that R-717 yields the highest coefficient of performance of 3.858 when evaporating temperature (TE) is 0oC while R-290 (Propane) gave the lowest Coefficient of Performance of 3.555 when evaporating Tempearture (TE) is 0 o­­C. The results showed that as TC increases from 30 oC to 80 oC, COP decreased for all the four refrigerants. As TE decreases, COP reduced, also COP increased as TSub increases from 0 oC to 20 oC. COP of R-717 is consistently higher than that of the other three natural refrigerants. Findings reveal that R-717 yields the highest COP under Nigerian climatic conditions, positioning it as a promising, eco-friendly replacement. This research supports efforts to adopt sustainable refrigerants in Nigeria, contributing to climate goals and guiding policy and industry stakeholders in selecting efficient refrigerants for high-temperature regions.
