ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess the financial impact of different adoption rates of insulin glargine (IGlar) treatment compared to isophane protamine (neutral protamine hagedorn [NPH]) insulin treatment for patients with type-2 diabetes (T2D) and severe hypoglycemia in Thailand from the payer’s perspective.MethodsThe budget impact analysis (BIA) model over a period of 5 years was used to estimate the net budget impact (NBI) of IGlar treatment by comparing the total budget expenditures under two scenarios: scenario 1 involved only NPH insulin and scenario 2 included the introduction of IGlar. The total budget included either the cost of insulin or a combination of the costs of insulin and the expense related to severe hypoglycemia. Scenario 2 started at 20% uptake of IGlar and a yearly increase of 20%. NBI was calculated as the difference between the total budgets of scenarios 1 and 2. NBI and one-way sensitivity analyses were conducted for evaluation.ResultsConsidering only the cost of insulin, the use of IGlar for patients with T2D and severe hypoglycemia resulted in a yearly average NBI of 174.9 million Thai baht (THB) (5.1 million USD). However, when the cost related to severe hypoglycemia was included, the total budget incurred from scenario 2 was less than that of scenario 1, leading to a negative NBI or cost savings.ConclusionThe NBI of IGlar adoption would be substantial when considering only the cost of insulin; however, the significant benefit of IGlar in terms of a lower rate of severe hypoglycemia compared with NPH insulin would clearly offset the additional cost of IGlar.

IntroductionHIV self-testing (HIVST) is an innovative strategy that has been shown to increase uptake of HIV testing compared to conventional facility-based testing. HIVST implementation with digital-based supports may help facilitate testing accessibility and linkage to care after a reactive self-test. Economic evidence around community-based implementation of HIVST is growing; however, economic evidence around digital-based HIVST approaches remains limited.MethodsWe used previously published cost and efficacy data from HIVST interventions, with the specific intervention model differing between scenarios. Digital-based interventions included text messaging campaigns and online websites that promoted uptake and linkage to HIVST care. Community-based interventions included door-to-door distribution, peer-incentivized distribution, and mobile testing units. Using data obtained from the literature, we parameterized a combined Markov and decision analytic model to evaluate the cost-utility of digital-based HIVST implementation across Malawi, South Africa, and Brazil compared to both community-based HIVST and facility-based testing.ResultsWe found that HIVST was cost-effective compared to facility-based testing in all settings investigated. Our scenarios predicted that digital-based HIVST was associated with an incremental cost in the range of $769–$17,839/DALY (disability-adjusted life year) averted compared to facility-based testing across Malawi, South Africa, and Brazil. Digital-based HIVST cost savings had an incremental cost of $7,300/DALY averted compared to community-based HIVST. The main drivers of cost-utility included HIV test and treatment costs, HIV test-positivity, rates of linkage to care, and antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation rates. Digital-based supports were associated with an increased cost compared to facility-based testing, but they also had increased utility, which led to favorable cost-utility estimates.DiscussionHIVST with digital supports has the potential to be a highly cost-effective approach, with the potential to make HIV testing more available and accessible, thereby increasing overall uptake and coverage of HIV testing. Digital supports can also support linkage to care, which we have identified as a major driver of cost-utility. Strategies to improve cost-utility include reducing testing costs, targeting key populations with increased rates of HIV test-positivity, and ensuring strong support for linkage to care.

Published: January 2025

BackgroundThis study aimed to investigate and analyze the current status of oral disease treatment among the older adult in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, while also assessing the continuing medical education (CME) needs of dental institution personnel regarding oral diseases in this population.MethodsConvenience sampling was used to investigate the oral disease treatment among older adults and to assess CME needs of dental institution personnel regarding oral diseases in this population across various oral medical and health institutions in Guangxi.ResultsA total of 754 valid questionnaires were collected, of which 70.3% were from non-public oral health institutions. Out-of-pocket costs for older adults were as high as 91.3%. The per capita cost of older adult patients was beyond 500 yuan in 51.6% of the oral health institutions. In terms of CME training, 32.8% of dental institution medical personnel have participated in CME courses specifically on oral diseases in the older adult. Meanwhile, 69.9% of institutions have expressed a need for CME training on oral diseases in the older adult.ConclusionNon-public oral health institutions account for a significant proportion, and the older adult primarily pay out-of-pocket for oral disease treatment in these facilities. The high cost of treatment may pose a significant barrier to the older adult seeking oral healthcare. Increasing CME programs targeted at geriatric oral diseases can help enhance the treatment capabilities of dental healthcare workers and improve oral health outcomes for the older adult population.

ObjectiveTo examine the current landscape of public health functions and the level of cognition among medical staff across various medical institutions in Jiangsu Province, ultimately aiming to provide a theoretical framework for constructing a hospital public health work model under the integrated medical and defense system.MethodsA mixed-methods approach involving questionnaires and semi-structured interviews was employed to assess the establishment and operational status of public health departments within medical institutions, staffing scenarios, comprehension of public health tasks, and the degree of emphasis placed on them.ResultsOur findings reveal that 70.6% of medical institutions possess standalone public health departments, with a median of 5 full-time public health personnel, predominantly from the nursing profession. Significant disparities were observed in the demographics, educational backgrounds, majors, job classifications, and titles of public health personnel across different medical institution levels. Additionally, 68.4% of institutions have formed public health management committees, and 77.2% shoulder ≥10 public health responsibilities. Notably, 99.2% of medical staff endorse the importance of public health work within medical institutions, and 98.3% advocate for the support of disease control agencies. Interviews further unveiled a predominantly positive stance among medical institution leaders toward the integration of public health and medical prevention.ConclusionMedical institutions of Jiangsu Province necessitate enhanced public health staffing, improved organizational structure and responsibility divisions for public health work, and a boost in knowledge levels to effectively carry out public health responsibilities. Furthermore, policy support and multi-stakeholder engagement are crucial to mobilize hospitals to take proactive initiatives.

Published: January 2025

BackgroundAutism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent challenges in social communication and restricted, repetitive behaviors. Emotion recognition deficits are a core feature of ASD, impairing social functioning and quality of life. This meta-analysis evaluates emotion recognition accuracy and response time in individuals with autism spectrum disorder compared to neurotypical individuals and those with other neurodevelopmental disorders.MethodsThis systematic review with a meta-analysis was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. A comprehensive literature search across PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science identified 13 studies published between 2006 and 2024. Data on emotion recognition accuracy and response times were synthesized using standardized mean differences in random-effects models. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 statistic, and sensitivity analyses were performed to ensure robustness.ResultsIndividuals with ASD exhibited significantly lower overall emotion recognition accuracy compared to TD individuals (SMD = −1.29, 95% CI: −2.20 to −0.39, p &lt; 0.01) and NDDs (SMD = −0.89, 95% CI: −1.23 to −0.55, p = 0.02). Response times were significantly prolonged in ASD compared to TD individuals (SMD = 0.50, 95% CI: 0.36–0.63, p &lt; 0.01) but not when compared to NDDs. Emotion-specific analyses did not consistently reveal significant differences across emotions (fear, anger, happiness, sadness, disgust, surprise), with substantial heterogeneity observed across studies (I2 &gt; 50%).ConclusionsThis systematic review with a meta-analysis highlights significant impairments in emotion recognition accuracy and processing speed among individuals with autism spectrum disorder, particularly compared to neurotypical individuals. These findings underscore the importance of developing targeted interventions to address these deficits, which are foundational to improving social cognition and quality of life in autism spectrum disorder. Future research should prioritize standardized methodologies and explore cultural and contextual factors influencing emotion recognition abilities.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/display_record.php?RecordID=627339, PROSPERO (CRD42024627339).
Effects of grazing on alpine grassland soil available nutrients across the Tibetan Plateau
Authors: Zhou Tongyong , Yang Hui , Du Yangong 
Published: January 2025

IntroductionAlpine grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau are increasingly affected by grazing, resulting in complex changes in soil nutrient availability.MethodsThis meta-analysis evaluates the effects of different grazing intensities on soil available nitrogen (AN), phosphorus (AP), and potassium (AK), and identifies key environmental drivers.ResultsResults show that grazing significantly increased AN by 11.9% and reduced AK by 14.5%, while its impact on AP was negligible. Light grazing (LG) and moderate grazing (MG) both significantly enhanced AN, with increases of 6.88% and 17.90%, respectively, whereas heavy grazing (HG) reduced AN by 1.52%. LG and MG also positively affected AP, whereas HG caused a substantial decline of 11.04%. In terms of AK, LG led to a slight increase (2.05%), but MG and HG both caused significant reductions of 11.01% and 10.35%, respectively. Temperature emerged as a critical factor, reducing AN and increasing AK, highlighting its importance under climate change scenarios.DiscussionThese findings emphasize that grazing intensity plays a pivotal role in regulating soil nutrient levels, with LG showing the most consistent positive effects on nutrient availability. Thus, managing grazing intensity, particularly favoring light grazing, is crucial to maintaining soil fertility and supporting the long-term productivity of alpine grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the impact of globalization processes on the media space of the Caspian region. The specificity of information flows generated by the press is studied when covering the relations between Russia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Iran. Globalization affects most areas of activity of various social institutions, including the mass media. Mass media, social networks, digital platforms are considered as actors of multicultural interaction of the Caspian states. The Caspian region, which is distinguished by a strategically important cultural, historical, political, economic geolocation, is reaching the level of acquiring a single media space. It is concluded that the strategic importance of the Caspian macroregion is growing every year, so the importance of information broadcasting of the interests of each of the five border states becomes obvious. They are increasingly entering into an open dialogue with each other in order to consolidate the efforts of mutually beneficial cooperation in the Caspian macroregion. At the same time, interaction in the media field is simultaneously carried out between several parties, since multipolar communication prevails in the modern world.

Abstract
This work discusses network architecture, network training method, and a quantization method for achieving a low-energy and high-energy-efficient system, aiming at equipping robots and automobiles such as Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) with Computation-in-Memory (CiM) and performing 3D object detection with low energy consumption. Augmented Point Cloud VoxelNet (APCVN) is a network that improves inference accuracy by allowing a slight increase in computational complexity. Multi-Stage Quantization Aware Training (MSQAT) and U-Quantization (UQ) are a learning method and a quantization strategy, respectively, that improve the quantization tolerance of APCVN. Furthermore, quantitative calculations are conducted to estimate ADC energy consumption per inference, operations per second, energy efficiency, memory array area, memory capacity, and latency per inference in the assumed CiM system. Results show that by applying proposed methods, ADC energy consumption per inference is reduced by 8.7% and energy efficiency is improved by 1.6 times while maintaining high inference accuracy.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The laser heterodyne photothermal displacement (LH-PD) method, a recently developed photothermal technique, enables the measurement of absolute surface displacements, which are otherwise challenging to measure with other photothermal methods. This method offers significant potential for quantifying physical properties that are difficult to achieve with traditional photothermal methods. In this study, we aimed to estimate the thermal diffusivity and carrier lifetime of Si using a machine-learning model based on the time variation of the displacement obtained using the LH-PD method. By leveraging the machine learning model, we generated predictive mappings of thermal diffusivity and carrier lifetime of a pattern-etched Si wafer from the displacement mappings. Furthermore, our findings demonstrated that fine-tuning the model enabled accurate predictions of the carrier lifetime. While traditional simulations require tens of hours to estimate the material parameters, machine learning reduced this process to only a few seconds.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The presence of hydrogen-incorporated defects in silicon nitride (SiN) films has been reported to degrade device properties, such as NAND flash memory. Therefore, controlling the amount of hydrogen defects in SiN films to achieve high device reliability is important. This study investigated hydrogen desorption using hydrogen plasma treatment to reduce hydrogen-incorporated defects in SiN films. Secondary ion mass spectrometry measurements showed that the hydrogen concentration in SiN films does not change significantly pre- and post-treatment. However, the trap levels in SiN films determined using the Poole–Frenkel analysis of hole currents showed a clear deepening after the plasma treatment. Angle-resolved hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements suggested that hydrogen plasma treatment decreases the ratio of silicon to hydrogen or nitrogen to hydrogen bonds as a function of treatment time.
Comprehensive analysis of determining factors of the effective work function of TiAlC/TiN metal gates for advanced gate-all-around CMOS integration

Published: January 2025

Abstract
We have examined the determining factor of the effective work function (EWF) for an n-channel MOSFET (n-type EWF) in TiAlC/TiN metal gates on high-k gate dielectrics (HK). From electrical and physical evaluations of the bottom TiN between HK and TiAlC (BTM-TiN), the obtained results suggest that the dominant factor for the n-type EWF of TiAlC/TiN metal gates is not the fixed charge in the gate dielectric but the vacuum work function of BTM-TiN. It was found that TiN with low oxygen content has a vacuum work function of 3.8 eV, suitable for an n-channel MOSFET although TiN has been believed to be suitable for a p-channel MOSFET. We also found that its vacuum work function increases with increasing oxygen content. Based on these results, we proposed an oxygen scavenging from BTM-TiN(O) by Al in TiAlC as a novel mechanism for the n-type EWF for TiAlC/TiN metal gates.
