BackgroundSex work is a global driver of the HIV epidemic, and the risk of acquiring HIV is 13 times higher for female sex workers (FSWs) compared to the general population. The enrollment and retention of FSWs in HIV care is a challenge and has been a major contributing factor to increased new HIV infections.MethodsWe conducted a qualitative study among 30 FSWs and 21 healthcare workers (HCWs) working in antiretroviral therapy (ART) clinics at the selected three primary health facilities in Mbarara City, Southwestern Uganda. The study participants were enrolled by both purposive and snowball sampling techniques. We obtained informed consent from all the participants, and data were collected using in-depth interviews and thematically analyzed.ResultsThree themes emerged as facilitators toward enrollment and retention of FSWs into HIV care, namely, (1) good health living, (2) receptive HCWs and availability of health services, and (3) community outreach services and peer support. The barriers are summarized into four major themes: (1) stigma, community discrimination, and beliefs; (2) social obstacles; (3) adverse effects of ART; and (4) inadequate services at the health facilities.ConclusionFSWs are challenged by unsupportive environments and communities where they live and work, which hinders their enrollment and retention in HIV care. Creating awareness of the utilization of HIV care services and extending such services to hotspot communities could enhance the response of HIV-positive FSWs to ART.

Published: January 2023

IntroductionThe scarcity of resources have affected food production, which has challenged the ability of Iran to provide adequate food for the population. Iterative and mounting sanctions on Iran by the international community have seriously eroded Iran's access to agricultural technology and resources to support a growing population. Limited moisture availability also affects Iran's agricultural production. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of inflation, international sanctions, weather disturbances, and domestic crop production on the price of rice, wheat and lentils from 2010 to 2021 in Iran.MethodData were obtained from the statistical yearbooks of the Ministry of Agriculture in Iran, Statistical Center of Iran, and the Central Bank of Iran. We analyzed econometric measures of food prices, including CPI, food inflation, subsidy reform plan and sanctions to estimate economic relationships. After deflating the food prices through CPI and detrending the time series to resolve the non-linear issue, we used monthly Climate Hazards group Infrared Precipitation with Stations (CHIRPS) precipitation data to analyze the influence of weather disturbances on food prices.Results and discussionThe price of goods not only provides an important indicator of the balance between agricultural production and market demand, but also has strong impacts on food affordability and food security. This novel study used a combination of economic and climate factors to analyze the food prices in Iran. Our statistical modeling framework found that the monthly precipitation on domestic food prices, and ultimately food access, in the country is much less important than the international sanctions, lowering Iran's productive capability and negatively impacting its food security.

Published: January 2023

BackgroundTo date, the value of prophylactic abdominal drainage (AD) following appendectomy in patients with complicated appendicitis (CA), including adults and children, has yet to be determined. This paper presents a meta-analysis of the effects of prophylactic AD on postoperative complications in patients with CA, with the goal of exploring the safety and effectiveness of prophylactic AD.MethodsPubMed, Science Direct, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases were searched for relevant articles published before August 1, 2022. The primary outcomes were the complication rates [overall incidence of postoperative complications, incidence of intra-abdominal abscess (IAA), wound infection (WI), and postoperative ileus (PI), and the secondary outcome was the perioperative outcome]. The meta-analysis was performed with STATA V. 16.0A.ResultsA total of 2,627 articles were retrieved and 15 high-quality articles were eventually included after screening, resulting in a total of 5,123 patients, of whom 1,796 received AD and 3,327 did not. The results of this meta-analysis showed that compared with patients in the non-drainage group, patients in the drainage group had longer postoperative length of hospitalization (LOH) (SMD = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.01–1.35, P = 0.046), higher overall incidence of postoperative complications (OR = 0.50, 95% CI: 0.19–0.81, P = 0.01), higher incidence of WI (OR = 0.30, 95% CI: 0.08–0.51, P = 0.01) and PI (OR = 1.05, 95% CI: 0.57–1.54, P = 0.01), the differences were statistically significant. However, there was no significant difference in the incidence of IAA (OR = 0.10, 95% CI: −0.10 to 0.31, P = 0.31) between the two groups. The results of subgroup meta-analysis showed that in the adult subgroup, the overall incidence of postoperative complications in the drainage group was higher than that in the non-drainage group (OR = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.37–0.96, P = 0.01). However, there were no significant differences in IAA (OR = 0.18, 95% CI: −0.28 to 0.64, P = 0.45) and WI (OR = 0.13, 95% CI: (−0.40 to 0.66, P = 0.63) and PI (OR = 2.71, 95% CI: −0.29 to 5.71, P = 0.08). In the children subgroup, there were no significant differences in the incidence of IAA (OR = 0.51, 95% CI: −0.06 to 1.09, P = 0.08) between the two groups. The overall incidence of postoperative complications (OR = 0.46, 95% CI: 0.02–0.90, P = 0.04), incidences of WI (OR = 0.43, 95% CI: 0.14–0.71, P = 0.01) and PI (OR = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.10–1.39, P = 0.02) were significantly higher than those in the non-drainage group.ConclusionThis meta-analysis concluded that prophylactic AD did not benefit from appendectomy, but increased the incidence of related complications, especially in children with CA. Thus, there is insufficient evidence to support the routine use of prophylactic AD following appendectomy.
An early clinical comparative study on total knee arthroplasty with kinematic alignment using specific instruments versus mechanical alignment in varus knees
Authors: Wen Liang , Wang Zhiwei , Ma Desi , Zhao Xiaoxiong 
Published: January 2023

BackgroundThe kinematic alignment technique, as one of the alignment options for total knee arthroplasty, has attracted increasing attention from orthopedic surgeons and has been increasingly performed in the most populous countries in the world. The purpose of this study is to explore and compare the early clinical outcomes of total knee arthroplasty with KA using specific instruments vs. mechanical alignment in our nation.MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed on patients who underwent unilateral total knee arthroplasty for knee osteoarthritis with varus deformity. Depending on the alignment method, patients were divided into a kinematically aligned total knee arthroplasty (KA-TKA) group and a mechanically aligned total knee arthroplasty (MA-TKA) group. The hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle before and after surgery, the knee joint clinical score (KS-C), the knee joint functional score (KS-F) and the forgotten joint score (FJS) at 3 months and 2 years after surgery were recorded and statistically analyzed.ResultsA total of 126 patients were enrolled, including 65 in the KA-TKA group and 61 in the MA-TKA group. The mean follow-up period was 30.8 months. The postoperative HKA angle was not significantly different at the 2-year follow-up between the two groups (P &gt; 0.05). The KS-C, KS-F and FJS scores in the KA-TKA group were higher than those in the MA-TKA group at 3 months after surgery, and the difference was statistically significant (P &lt; 0.05). At the 2-year follow-up, the KS-C, KS-F and FJS scores in the KA-TKA group were higher than those in the MA-TKA group, and the difference in the KS-C and FJS scores was statistically significant (P &lt; 0.05).ConclusionPatients who underwent KA-TKA had a postoperative lower limb alignment similar to that of those who underwent MA-TKA. The clinical outcomes of KA-TKA were superior to those of MA-TKA in terms of clinical performance, knee function and subjective sensation up to 2 years after surgery.
Individualized surgical treatment of giant tuberculum sellae meningioma: Unilateral subfrontal approach vs. endoscopic transsphenoidal approach

Published: January 2023

ObjectiveGiant tuberculum sellae meningiomas (TSMs) are deeply located in the suprasellar region and extensively compressed or encased in the surrounding neurovascular structures, making gross total resection (GTR) without postoperative visual impairment challenging. The authors presented individualized unilateral subfrontal approach and endoscopic transsphenoidal approach (ETSA) in a series of patients and elaborated on their advantages and indications in resecting giant TSMs.MethodsA total of 38 patients with giant TSMs operated by a single surgeon between March 2012 and November 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients underwent unilateral subfrontal approach and ETSA according to preoperative imaging characteristics. Tumor characteristics, surgical details, preoperative symptoms, and neurological outcomes of TSMs patients were collected and analyzed.ResultsIn 31 patients operated with the unilateral subfrontal approach, total resection (Simpson grade I or II) was achieved in 27 patients (87.0%), while 6 patients (85.7%) achieved GTR in 7 patients using ETSA. The postoperative visual improvement was maintained in 22 (81.5%) and 5 patients (83.3%). Recurrence or progression was only observed in 2 (7.4%) patients operated with the unilateral subfrontal approach. There was no mortality in our series.ConclusionsPreoperative imaging and visual function are important for surgical approach selection. Maximum tumor resection and optic nerve protection can be achieved concurrently by taking advantage of these surgical approaches. The cerebral artery protection strategies and individualized surgical techniques provide great utility in improving a patient's quality of life.
Elena Rykova's “101% mind uploading”: On the Materialism, Theatre and Sonic Resonance
Authors: Ингельдеев Марат Рафаэлевич , Яковлева Татьяна Олеговна 
Published: January 2023

Настоящий текст является расшифровкой беседы о пьесе «101% mind uploading» композитора Елены Рыковой, состоявшейся на «антиконференции» Gnesin Contemporary Music Week 2021. Пьеса находится на стыке жанровых границ, представляя собой музыкальный перформанс, в котором исполнители проводят «операцию над роялем». В основном выступлении музыковед Марат Ингельдеев задается вопросом о том, как некоторые из теорий нового материализма, в том числе предложенные Биллом Брауном и Джейн Беннетт, могут находить отражение в проблематике тактильности и физического в пьесе Рыковой. Театровед Екатерина Кострикова и музыковед Анастасия Кожевникова предлагают трактовки произведения через призму перформативного и театрального восприятия, находя параллели с античным театром и ритуальностью восточных культур. Модератор и музыковед Татьяна Яковлева рассуждает о природе жанровой принадлежности «101% mind uploading» в сравнении с музыкой Джона Кейджа и Маурисио Кагеля. Участники приходят к выводу об особом значении понятия звукового резонанса в творчестве Рыковой.
This text is a transcript of a discussion, which took place during the Gnesin Contemporary Music Week 2021 anti-conference, on the musical piece 101% mind uploading, written by the composer Elena Rykova. The work is situated at the intersection of genres, being a musical performance art piece, in which the performers carry out a "surgery on the piano.” In the main section, musicologist Marat Ingeldeev explores how some of the new materialism theories, including the ones by Bill Brown and Jane Bennett, can be reflected in the issues of tactility and physicality in the composer's work. Theatre expert Ekaterina Kostrikova and musicologist Anastasiya Kozhevnikova propose some interpretations of the work through the lens of performative and theatrical perception, finding parallels with ancient Greek and Roman theatre traditions and the rituals of east Asian cultures. Discussion moderator and musicologist Tatyana Yakovleva speaks about the nature of genre labelling, comparing it with the music of John Cage and Mauricio Kagel. The participants come to some conclusions, regarding the special significance of Rykova's concept of sonic resonance.

Abstract
Observing ultrafast pulse-to-pulse dynamics of highly photoexcited materials could foster a comprehensive understanding of the initial stage of irreversible photoinduced events, such as phase change, structural deformation, and laser ablation. In this study, using high-repetition-rate single-shot spectroscopy and a laser microscope, the pulse-to-pulse ultrafast dynamics of energy relaxation in Ge2Sb2Te5 thin films are revealed under high-density photoexcitation that induces sequential events involving the crystalline-to-amorphous phase transition, melt and quench processes, and formation of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSSs). Above the threshold excitation density for LIPSS formation, the first excitation pulse induces the transient transmittance change of the crystalline phase in a picosecond timescale, and subsequent pulses provoke the amorphous phase energy relaxation with a long decay time of hundreds of picoseconds. We observed that the subsequent pulses gradually reduce the amplitude and decay time of the transient transmittance, leading to efficient energy relaxation and LIPSS formation in the photoinduced amorphous phase.

Рецензируемая монография посвящена пьесе А. П. Чехова «Татьяна Репина». Кратко характеризуется история создания и содержание пьесы, сюжет которой связан с трагической судьбой русской актрисы Евлалии Павловны Кадминой. Отмечено, что один из разделов рецензируемой монографии отражает личную и творческую биографию Е. П. Кадминой, основанную на воспоминаниях современников о ней. С привлечением новых архивных материалов в книге подробно представлена история самоубийства актрисы, положенная в основу сюжета пьесы. Рассматриваемая книга определяется как научная монография, разворачивающая перед читателями исторический и литературный контекст, в котором было создано драматическое произведение. Анализируется текст А. С. Суворина, ставший протопьесой чеховской одноактной драмы и размещенный в рецензируемом издании в качестве приложения. Предполагается, что новое исследование о чеховском творчестве будет способствовать росту читательского интереса к произведениям великого русского писателя и драматурга.
The monograph on Anton Chekhov’s play Tatyana Repina written by Olga Spachil, an associate professor of the Kuban State University, is reviewed. The author of the book reveals the details of the publication of the play: its first edition, published in three copies, is now an extreme bibliographic rarity. She briefly characterizes the history of the creation and the content of the play. The plot of the play is connected with the biography of the Russian actress Eulalia Pavlovna Kadmina. The book reflects not only the tragic fate of the actress, but also touches upon philosophical issues that are revealed through reflections on life and death. The book’s thematic aspect is connected with the perception of the play in other countries and in other historical times. One of the sections of the book reflects Kadmina’s personal and creative biography, based on the contemporaries’ memories about her. Using new factual material collected from the archives, Spachil describes in detail the story of Kadmina’s suicide, which formed the basis of the plot of the play. The author of the book has an individual, creative attitude to her protagonist. The reviewer defines the book as a research monograph that shows the reader the historical and literary context in which the play was created. The text of Aleksey Suvorin, which became the prototype of Chekhov’s one-act play and is placed in the book as an appendix, is analyzed. The reviewer notes the significance for the reviewed book of conferences on Chekhov’s oeuvre that are regularly held on Sakhalin. The reviewer expresses hope that this new book will contribute to the growth of reader interest in the works of the great Russian writer and playwright.
Story Point Estimation Using Issue Reports With Deep Attention Neural Network
Authors: Kassem Haithem , Mahar Khaled , Saad Amani A. 
Published: January 2023

Background: Estimating the effort required for software engineering tasks is incredibly tricky, but it is critical for project planning. Issue reports are frequently used in the agile community to describe tasks, and story points are used to estimate task effort.
Aim: This paper proposes a machine learning regression model for estimating the number of story points needed to solve a task. The system can be trained from raw input data to predict outcomes without the need for manual feature engineering.
Method: Hierarchical attention networks are used in the proposed model. It has two levels of attention mechanisms implemented at word and sentence levels. The model gradually constructs a document vector by grouping significant words into sentence vectors and then merging significant sentence vectors to create document vectors. Then, the document vectors are fed into a shallow neural network to predict the story point.
Results: The experiments show that the proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art technique Deep-S which uses Recurrent Highway Networks. The proposed model has improved Mean Absolute Error (MAE) by an average of 16.6% and has improved Median Absolute Error (MdAE) by an average of 53%.
Conclusion: An empirical evaluation shows that the proposed approach outperforms the previous work.
