Introduction
Reduction of maternal mortality remains a global priority as highlighted by the third Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). This is critical in the case of Sierra Leone as the country is one of three (3) countries with the highest maternal mortality ratio globally, thus 1,120 per 100,000 live births. The approximate lifetime risk of maternal mortality in the country is 1 in 17, relative to 1 in 3,300 in high-income countries. These raise doubt about the quality of the continuum of maternal healthcare in the country, particularly antenatal care and as a result, the objective of the present study is to investigate the association between socio-economic disadvantage and quality antenatal care service utilisation as well as associated correlates in Sierra Leone.

Materials and methods
The study used data from the most recent Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) of Sierra Leone. Only women who had given birth in the five years preceding the survey were included, which is 6,028. Quality antenatal care was defined as receipt of recommended ANC services including uptake of recommended pregnancy drugs (e.g. Fansidar and iron supplement); injections (e.g. tetanus injection) and having some samples (e.g. blood and urine sample) and health status indicators (e.g. blood pressure) taken. An index was created from these indicators with scores ranging from 0 to 6. The scores 0 to 5 were labelled as “incomplete” and 6 was labelled as “complete” and this was used to create a dummy variable. In analysing the data, descriptive analysis was done using chi-square test as well as an inferential analysis using bivariate and multivariate models.

Results
Socio-economic disadvantaged [1.46 (1.09, 1.95), place of residence [2.29 (1.43, 3.67)], frequency of listening to radio [1.58 (1.20, 2.09)], health insurance coverage [3.48 (1.40, 8.64)], getting medical help for self: permission to go [0.53(0.42, 0.69) were seen to have significant relationship with quality of ANC utilized by women during pregnancy. Also, women Mende ethnicity are more likely to utilise quality ANC compared to women from the Temne ethnicity [2.58 (1.79, 3.72)].

Conclusion
Policy makers could consider measures to boost patronage of quality ANC in Sierra Leone by targeting the socio-economically disadvantaged women. Targeting these sub-groups with pro- maternal and child health (MCH) interventions would help Sierra Leone achieve Goal 3 of the SDGs.

Background
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients commonly report medicinal cannabis use (MCU). Personality has been independently associated with both RA-related outcomes and MCU, but there is no information available on how they interact in RA patients. This study aimed to investigate a potential association between personality traits and MCU in RA outpatients, as well as to identify additional factors associated with its use.

Methods
This cross-sectional study was performed between June 2020 and August 2021. Consecutive RA outpatients had standardized evaluations using an interview format to collect sociodemographic information, comorbidities, risk of recreational substance use, RA-related disease activity/severity, health-related quality of life, depressive and anxiety symptoms, five personality traits, and MCU in the 12 months before the interview. Multivariable logistic regression estimated adjusted odds ratios (aOR). The study was IRB-approved.

Results
180 patients were included; 160 (88.9%) were women with a mean age of 53.4 ± 13 years. Fifty-three (29.4%) patients reported MCU. Among them, 52 (98.1%) used topical formulations. Neuroticism had the highest overall score (x¯ = 3.47 ± 0.34). Openness to experience trait was higher in MCU patients in the comparative analysis (p = 0.007). In the multivariable regression, higher openness trait (aOR: 2.81, 95%CI: 1.11–7.10) along with moderate risk in tobacco use (aOR: 3.36, 95%CI: 1.04–10.7) and higher RA disease activity/severity (aOR: 1.10, 95%CI: 1.01–1.19) were independently associated with MCU.

Conclusions
In the current study, personality influenced the seeking of MCU for pain relief, associating dynamically with higher disease activity/severity and tobacco use. Contrary to other available information, it did not relate to psychopathology or the recreational use of cannabis. Proactive interdisciplinary clinical evaluations around MCU in RA outpatients should include personality, besides standard clinical assessments, to understand patients’ motivations for its use as they may reveal important clinical information.
Comunicación para la salud a través de TikTok. Estudio de influencers de temática farmacéutica y conexión con su audiencia
Authors: Martínez-Sanz Raquel , Buitrago Álex , Martín-García Alberto 
Published: January 2023

La consolidación de TikTok como una plataforma orientada al mero entretenimiento no ha limitado el empeño divulgativo de profesionales de muy diferentes ámbitos que han encontrado en esta red social una oportunidad para compartir de forma masiva conocimientos rigurosos, útiles y desmitificadores (Guiñez-Cabrera y Mansilla-Obando, 2022; Yalamanchili et al., 2022). A través de una metodología basada en el análisis de contenido, se examinan las publicaciones y las reacciones de los principales perfiles de temática farmacéutica en TikTok, profundizando en los recursos comunicativos, estrategias de interacción y temas con los que conectan con su audiencia. Los resultados revelan que, a diferencia de otros espacios digitales más propensos a la crispación y el enfrentamiento, los influencers farmacéuticos pueden exponer abiertamente su experiencia y opinión profesional, demostrando, además, un dominio de los recursos técnicos que ofrece TikTok para crear vídeos divulgativos sobre salud. El empleo de un lenguaje cercano y alejado de tecnicismos, sumado a un tono natural y con ciertas dosis de humor, representan sus señas de identidad y la clave de la buena acogida por parte de una audiencia que responde (79.696 comentarios analizados) de forma asertiva planteando dudas, relatando sus propias experiencias y, sobre todo, expresando apoyo a las tesis defendidas por el profesional. Ante un tema de interés general como es la salud, todo esfuerzo por emplear las herramientas y códigos de comunicación propios de la población joven contribuye a integrarlos en los nuevos circuitos de divulgación.
A note on second derivative estimates for Monge-Ampère-type equations
Authors: Trudinger Neil S. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
In this article, we revisit previous Pogorelov-type interior and global second derivative estimates of N. S. Trudinger, F. Jiang, and J. Liu for solutions of Monge-Ampère-type partial differential equations. Taking account of recent strict convexity regularity results of Guillen-Kitagawa and Rankin and following our earlier work in the optimal transportation case, we remove the monotonicity assumptions in the more general case of generated Jacobian equations and consequently in the subsequent application to classical solvability and global regularity for second boundary value problems.
Unravelling the genetic links between Parkinson’s disease and lung cancer

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Increase evidence from epidemiological studies have shown an inverse association between Parkinson’s disease (PD) and lung cancer. PD and lung cancer are both geriatric diseases, where these two diseases are sharing some common genetic determinants. Several PD-associated genes including alpha synuclein (SNCA), PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1), parkin, parkinsonism associated deglycase (DJ-1), leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2), F-box protein 7 (FBXO7) and ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCHL1) were reported to have altered expressions in lung cancer patients. This indicates that certain PD-associated genes might be important in conferring anticancer effects. This review aims to depict the physiological functions of these genes, and discuss the putative roles of these PD-associated genes in lung cancer. The understanding of the roles of these genes in the lung cancer progression might be important in the identification of new treatment targets for lung cancer. Gene therapy that aims to alter the expressions of these genes could be developed for future anticancer therapy. As a result, studying the roles of these genes in lung cancer may also help to understand their involvements as well as their roles in the pathogenesis of PD.
On numerical characterizations of the topological reduction of incomplete information systems based on evidence theory
Authors: Li Changqing , Zhang Yanlan 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Knowledge reduction of information systems is one of the most important parts of rough set theory in real-world applications. Based on the connections between the rough set theory and the theory of topology, a kind of topological reduction of incomplete information systems is discussed. In this study, the topological reduction of incomplete information systems is characterized by belief and plausibility functions from evidence theory. First, we present that a topological space induced by a pair of approximation operators in an incomplete information system is pseudo-discrete, which deduces a partition. Then, the topological reduction is characterized by the belief and plausibility function values of the sets in the partition. A topological reduction algorithm for computing the topological reducts in incomplete information systems is also proposed based on evidence theory, and its efficiency is examined by an example. Moreover, relationships among the concepts of topological reduct, classical reduct, belief reduct, and plausibility reduct of an incomplete information system are presented.

Optische Messung der Werkzeugablenkung in der inkrementellen Blechumformung
Authors: von Freyberg Axel , Terlau Marina , Stöbener Dirk , Fischer Andreas 
Published: January 2023

Zusammenfassung
Zum Umformen großer Bleche in kleinen Stückzahlen stellt die inkrementelle Blechumformung eine wirtschaftliche Alternative zum Tiefziehen dar. Auftretende Werkzeugablenkungen führen jedoch zu erhöhten Formabweichungen. Mit einer von der Maschinenkinematik unabhängigen In-Prozess-Messung der Werkzeugablenkung könnten diese kompensiert und somit die geometrischen Abweichungen minimiert werden. Deshalb wird ein optisches Multi-Sensorsystem konzipiert, um eine berührungslose Messung der Werkzeugposition mit der geforderten Messunsicherheit von 15 µm in einem Messabstand bis 2 m zu ermöglichen. Das Sensorsystemkonzept sieht eine Vielzahl preiswerter Sensoren vor, die jeweils einen Winkel zu einer Punktlichtquelle am Werkzeug erfassen. Basierend auf den gemessenen Winkeln aller zueinander kalibrierten Sensoren lässt sich die Position des Werkzeugs im dreidimensionalen Fertigungsvolumen per Multiangulation berechnen. Die mit dem Gesamtsystem erreichbare Messunsicherheit wurde mittels einer experimentellen Charakterisierung eines realisierten Angulationssensors sowie einer Unsicherheitsfortpflanzung abgeschätzt. Im Ergebnis erfüllt das Multi-Sensorkonzept sämtliche Anforderungen an die In-Prozess-Messung der Werkzeugablenkung bei der inkrementellen Blechumformung.

Authors: Borges Fabio , De Carvalho Rutz da Silva Sani , Midori Shimazaki Elsa , Mamcasz Viginheski Lúcia Virginia 
Published: January 2023

Context: Inclusive education for disabled people is an ongoing debate within schools, making it necessary for teachers and institutions to create methodological pathways that ensure an equitable and effective learning process for all pupils, regardless of their limitations. Objectives: To investigate the contributions of a tactile adapted version of the historical narrative “Eratosthenes and the Circumference of the Earth” in the formation of geometry concepts in visually impaired students and the challenges associated with the teaching process, this proposal is based on the application of an adapted didactic structure through Eratosthenes’ historical narrative, focusing on teaching the similarity of triangles and geometry. The study was based on Vygotsky’s cultural-historical theory and Galperin’s theory of the gradual formation of mental actions. Design: The methods are qualitative in nature via a case-study strategy. Environment and participants: The research was conducted with a class of 46 students, of which one is visually impaired, attending the first grade of high school at a public institution in the countryside of Paraná-Brazil. Data collection and analysis: Data were collected through activities performed in class and an evaluation questionnaire. Data were analysed through content analysis. Results: The results show that the intervention contributed to the assimilation of mathematical concepts by the visually impaired individual and other students, showing changes in the perceptions of key topics within plane geometry, previously demonstrated by the students as partial and non-scientific concepts. Conclusions: We can emphasise the need for research and studies targeting the construction of proposals and materials that enable an equitable and inclusive teaching process for all students.

Published: January 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é realizar uma análise bibliométrica da produção científica nacional sobre comércio justo em teses, dissertações e periódicos brasileiros, concentrados na grande área da Administração. Tal análise faz-se necessária, visto a crescente articulação do comércio justo nacional ao internacional, fomentando assim, amplas possibilidades de discussões a respeito das formas de atuação, desempenho e gestão das inúmeras organizações de produtores e distribuidores, além da compreensão dos fatores de consumo e perfis de consumidores vinculados ao movimento. A abordagem metodológica adotada foi a bibliometria, aplicada a partir de diferentes critérios de seleção das publicações, por meio do método PRISMA, sendo os dados analisados a partir de estatística descritiva. A partir da análise, as publicações puderam ser classificadas em quatro categorias: organização, movimento, certificação e consumo. Os principais resultados apontam a concentração de estudos qualitativos, discutindo características tanto do movimento Fair Trade quanto do impacto da certificação, sendo realizados em sua maioria a partir de estudos de caso de forma exploratória. Destaque das publicações na região Sudeste, onde estão localizadas a USP e UFLA, sendo instituições pioneiras em estudos voltados para agricultura no Brasil. O artigo contribui para a discussão sobre o Fair Trade nacional, ao construir um estado da arte para pesquisadores da área de Administração. Além disso, o estudo permite ampliar o debate a respeito da natureza, das práticas e das complexidades envolvidas nas organizações certificadas.
Post-quantum cryptographic algorithm identification using machine learning
Authors: Rocha Bruno Santos , Xexeo Jose Antonio Moreira , Torres Renato Hidaka 
Published: January 2023

This research presents a study on the identification of post-quantum cryptography algorithms through machine learning techniques. Plain text files were encoded by four post-quantum algorithms, participating in NIST's post-quantum cryptography standardization contest, in ECB mode. The resulting cryptograms were submitted to the NIST Statistical Test Suite to enable the creation of metadata files. These files provide information for six data mining algorithms to identify the cryptographic algorithm used for encryption. Identification performance was evaluated in samples of different sizes. The successful identification of each machine learning algorithm is higher than a probabilistic bid, with hit rates ranging between 73 and 100%.

Aim To analyze long-term outcomes by results of the prospective part of the Kuban registry of patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).Material and methods A prospective analysis of the incidence of hard endpoints and changes in the condition was performed for 260 patients with ICD successively added to the Registry of Patients with Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator” from 2015 through 2019.Results At the time of ICD implantation, all patients had chronic heart failure (CHF), mostly of ischemic etiology with a low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF); median LVEF was 30 (25; 36.5) %. 54 of 266 (21.9 %) patients died by 2021;  17 of them (31.5 %) died in the hospital; in 76.5 % of cases, death was caused by acute decompensated heart failure (HF). 139 (53.5%) patients were readmitted; 66 (25.4 %) hospitalizations were related with ICDs (lead revision or reimplantation); acute cardiovascular events developed in 38 (14.6 %) patients; 12 (4.6%) patients underwent percutaneous coronary interventions; orthotopic heart transplantation was performed for 4 patients. ICD shocks were recorded in 27 (10.4 %) patients. After the ICD implantation, median LVEF remained unchanged, 31 (25; 42) vs. 30 (25; 36.5) % (р>0.05). However, both objective and subjective HF symptoms worsened. Thus, the number of patients with IIB stage CHF increased from 29.6  to 88.8 % (р<0.01) and with NYHA III CHF from 24.2  to 34.5 % (p<0.05). 80 (30.8%) patients visited cardiologists on a regular basis. Only 7.3% of patients received an optimal drug therapy. During the observation period, the rate of beta-blocker treatment considerably decreased, from 90.6  to 64.3 % (р<0.01), and the rate of the mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist treatment decreased from 50.8  to 17.4 % (р<0.01). The rate of the diuretic treatment was inconsistent with the severity of patients’ condition.Conclusion Most of the problems the patients encountered after the ICD implantation were related with an inadequate treatment of the underlying disease. Since the majority of patients with ICD have a low LVEF, it is essential to focus on prescribing an optimal drug therapy and maintaining compliance with this therapy.
Does high-intensity laser therapy speed return to primary function in horses with suspensory ligament desmopathy?
Authors: Rushing James 
Published: January 2023

PICO question
In horses with a suspensory ligament branch injury, does high-intensity laser therapy (energy output greater than 500 mW) combined with conservative management, compared to conservative management alone, result in a faster return to primary function?

Clinical bottom line
Category research
Treatment.
Number and type of study deisgns reviewed
The number and type of study designs that were critically appraised were two peer-reviewed studies: a non-randomised controlled clinical trial and a randomised controlled experimental study.
Strength of evidence
Weak.
Outcomes reported
The outcomes reported are summarised as follows: the two appraised studies report positive effects of high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) on equine tendon and ligament injuries as measured by pain to palpation, lameness, swelling and ultrasonographic and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluation of HILT-treated lesions.
Conclusion
In view of the strength of evidence and the outcomes from the studies the following conclusion is made: the two appraised studies provide only weak evidence to show that horses treated with high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) and conservative management return to primary function sooner than horses treated with conservative management alone. Issues of design, methodology, statistical analysis and reporting reduce the reliability and external validity of these studies.

How to apply this evidence in practice
The application of evidence into practice should take into account multiple factors, not limited to: individual clinical expertise, patient’s circumstances and owners’ values, country, location or clinic where you work, the individual case in front of you, the availability of therapies and resources.

La traza del Vocabulario de mexicanismos de Joaquín García Icazbalceta: Estudio lexicográfico e historiográfico
Authors: Zamudio Mesa Celia , Cifuentes Bárbara 
Published: January 2023

El presente estudio analiza el Vocabulario de mexicanismos de Joaquín García Icazbalceta a la luz de las ideas planteadas por él mismo en el documento Provincialismos mexicanos, publicado como Prólogo del Vocabulario. Postulamos dos tesis que guiarían al autor en la consecución de su obra lexicográfica. La primera refiere a la naturaleza de los “provincialismos mexicanos”, a los que García Icazbalceta atribuye un origen prominentemente hispánico. La segunda puntualiza su concepción del español americano, su valor en cuanto expresión propia y legítima de los hispanohablantes de esta parte del mundo y, por consiguiente, la necesidad de documentar tanto su presente como su pasado.
Nuestro propósito es mostrar cómo García Icazbalceta materializó ambas tesis en la macroestructura del Vocabulario y, simultáneamente, destacar el carácter descriptivo de su diccionario y su valor historiográfico. En el análisis intentamos determinar, en la medida de lo posible, los criterios de selección léxica empleados por el autor; después, hacemos un recuento de todos los vocablos incluidos, las clasificaciones y marcación que les dio, la data que hizo de sus autoridades y su constatación en cuanto americanismos. Por último, presentamos una caracterización de la microestructura de los artículos en la que se evidencia el método seguido por el autor para desarrollarlos.
