Validation of a genome-wide polygenic score in improving fracture risk assessment beyond the FRAX tool in the Women’s Health Initiative study
Authors: Xiao Xiangxue , Wu Qing 
Published: June 2023

Background
Previous study has established two polygenic scores (PGSs) related to femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD) (PGS_FNBMDldpred) and total body BMD (PGS_TBBMDldpred) that are associated with fracture risk. However, these findings have not yet been externally validated in an independent cohort.

Objectives
This study aimed to validate the predictive performance of the two established PGSs and to investigate whether adding PGSs to the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) improves the predictive ability of FRAX in identifying women at high risk of major osteoporotic fracture (MOF) and hip fractures (HF).

Methods
The study used the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) cohort of 9,000 postmenopausal women of European ancestry. Cox Proportional Hazard Models were used to assess the association between each PGS and MOF/HF risk. Four models were formulated to investigate the effect of adding PGSs to the FRAX risk factors: (1) Base model: FRAX risk factors; (2) Base model + PGS_FNBMDldpred; (3) Base model + PGS_TBBMDldpred; (4) Base model + metaPGS. The reclassification ability of models with PGS was further assessed using the Net Reclassification Improvement (NRI) and the Integrated discrimination improvement (IDI).

Results
The study found that the PGSs were not significantly associated with MOF or HF after adjusting for FRAX risk factors. The FRAX base model showed moderate discrimination of MOF and HF, with a C-index of 0.623 (95% CI, 0.609 to 0.641) and 0.702 (95% CI, 0.609 to 0.718), respectively. Adding PGSs to the base FRAX model did not improve the ability to discriminate MOF or HF. Reclassification analysis showed that compared to the model without PGS, the model with PGS_TBBMDldpred (1.2%, p = 0.04) and metaPGS (1.7%, p = 0.05) improve the reclassification of HF, but not MOF.

Conclusions
The findings suggested that incorporating genetic information into the FRAX tool has minimal improvement in predicting HF risk for elderly Caucasian women. These results highlight the need for further research to identify other factors that may contribute to fracture risk in elderly Caucasian women.

take care
Authors: Mitchell Karice 
Published: June 2023

take care is a photographic installation by artist Karice Mitchell, whose practice seeks to unapologetically represent blackness as a site of resistance. Historically, Black women’s sexuality was central to their exploitation. Their sexuality continues to be systematically constructed and controlled through the white gaze, casting Black women as undesirable and “other” in order to normalize violence against them. Due to the ways in which Black women have been stereotyped as hypersexual beings in an effort to preserve white supremacy, Black women are often deprived of exercising full sexual autonomy. By re-appropriating and reclaiming Black erotic imagery, Mitchell subverts this history to begin redefining and reimagining possibilities for Black sexuality to exist beyond its historical construction. The words “take care” gesture to the importance of carving space for Black women to take care of themselves while acknowledging a collective history. Through enacting care, healing can be fostered to imagine empowering possibilities for existence.

O antecedente de depressão está associado a desfechos maternos desfavoráveis. O objetivo foi analisar a aderência às prescrições médicas e às recomendações de profissionais de saúde relatadas por gestantes com história prévia de depressão, no Brasil, 2019. Os dados foram extraídos da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde-2019, um inquérito domiciliar coordenado pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística. Quase 90% das mulheres responderam ter recebido prescrições médicas para tratamento de depressão, mas quase 70% não usaram os medicamentos prescritos. O encaminhamento para profissional especializado foi indicado para 42% (N=24.733) das gestantes. Dentre as mulheres que receberam encaminhamento, quase 20% não conseguiram ir às consultas com o especialista. Tendo em mente as consequências não negligenciáveis da falta de aderência aos cuidados de saúde mental é crucial incluir o tema na agenda de saúde, criando alternativas para enfrentar os motivos que obrigam as mulheres a renunciar ao tratamento desse importante problema de saúde.

A hanseníase é uma doença infectocontagiosa (silenciosa), de caráter crônico, causada pelo agente Mycobacterium leprae. Provoca lesões na pele, perda de sensibilidade, comprometimento neural e incapacidades físicas. Estes são quesitos responsáveis pelo tabu e o preconceito que envolvem a doença. O objetivo desse trabalho foi o de realizar uma Análise da busca ativa em exames de contato de casos de hanseníase no município de Almenara/MG nos anos de 2017-2021, baseado na análise de informações notificadas no Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN), fornecidos pela Secretaria Municipal de Saúde. Empregou-se a revisão bibliográfica do tipo descritivo-exploratório de caráter qualitativo-quantitativo como método investigativo para obter informações pertinentes e coerentes para fundamentação teórica do problema. Os dados analisados no município de Almenara – MG e no distrito de Pedra Grande – MG são preocupantes, pois constatam que a classificação operacional multibacilar foi a mais prevalente. Foram evidenciados que há a predominância de casos do sexo masculino com hanseníase. Houve aumento de casos de recidiva, onde a maior causa é o tratamento PQT feito de forma inadequada ou incorreta. A média de contatos dos dados de 2017-2021 é de 3 a 4 pessoas por paciente notificado. A hanseníase constitui como um problema de Saúde Pública no Brasil, desta forma, faz-se necessário enfatizar a importância do profissional farmacêutico para o diagnóstico precoce. Diante desse estudo e dos estudos expostos neste trabalho, conclui-se que a busca ativa é um método primordial para a detecção precoce da doença. Quanto mais rápido a doença for diagnosticada, menor a chance de causar incapacidades físicas e comprometimento de nervos. Para isso, se faz necessário maior eficácia na busca de contatos intradomiciliares e social do paciente. Assim como, creches e escolas, para evitar casos ativos da doença na faixa etária de 00-15 anos.
Índice de vulnerabilidad social frente a desastres en el Departamento Diamante (Entre Ríos). El caso del deslizamiento de suelo en la localidad de Diamante
Authors: Medrano Melissa Anabella 
Published: June 2023

La localidad de Diamante (Entre Ríos) presenta áreas de importante inestabilidad de suelos, problemática que durante años ha afectado a un sector considerable de la población, por lo que se establece como una problemática de relevancia social. El índice de vulnerabilidad social frente a desastres (IVSD) se constituye como herramienta para el análisis de las condiciones socioestructurales que presentan los individuos desde un enfoque del riesgo como construcción social. Permite conocer las condiciones estructurales o de vida de la población afectada, a partir de ponderar los indicadores de tipo demográfico, laboral, educacional, habitacional y determinar para que sectores de la población la amenaza o peligrosidad, podrían convertirse en desastre. La aplicación del índice en el departamento Diamante permite evaluar los radios de interés de las tres localidades con mayor población, Diamante, Villa Libertador San Martin, General Ramírez y determinar qué características repercuten en mayor o menor medida en los niveles de vulnerabilidad de la población que reside en el área considerada de riesgo, atendiendo a que la problemática del deslizamiento de suelo sigue vigente.
¿Mejores o Iguales?

Published: June 2023

La democracia deliberativa surgió como una concepción de la legitimidad democrática que, contrariamente a la democracia agregativa, fuera sensible a las numerosas desigualdades que afectan los intercambios intersubjetivos entre ciudadanos y ofreciera alguna justificación para limitar que el poder social desigual se traslade al campo político. En un importante texto, “Democracia e Igualdad Política”, Graciela Vidiella especifica algunas condiciones de justicia social que deben cumplirse para que esta concepción honre su promesa. En este texto, intento mostrar - a través del problema de la tentación epistócrata y el problema del espacio deliberativo - que, si bien esas condiciones igualitarias tienen relevancia, el problema central del igualitarismo en la democracia deliberativa radica en la configuración de los espacios donde se produzcan los intercambios comunicativos.

Is individual competition in translator training compatible with collaborative learning? The case of the MTIE Translation Award
Authors: Tallone Laura , Ribeiro Sandra , Albuquerque Alexandra 
Published: June 2023

AbstractIn past years, translation education has shifted from a “transmissionist approach” to the unchallenged use of collaborative learning, with extensive recourse to teamwork and Project-based Learning. Students are encouraged to develop their translation and interpersonal skills in collaborative environments, focusing on translation as a process. Throughout this process, mistakes are valued as learning opportunities, and no translated text is seen as an authoritative version to which all others are unfavourably compared. This approach is somewhat at odds with an increasingly competitive job market, in which translators must be capable of autonomous and individual work, and translation is mainly viewed and evaluated as a final product. Although translation workflows involve a growing amount of group effort, translators still need to work alone and take responsibility for their own versions and translation choices. In order to prepare students to become professional translators, the annual Technical and Scientific Translation Award aims not only to give winners visibility before potential employers but also to work as an opportunity for young translation students and graduates to put their skills to the test. This paper focuses on the translation competences activated by the contest, as defined by the Competence Framework produced by the European Masters in Translation Network. It also discusses the potential of this initiative as a motivational tool for translation students and graduates, concluding that individual contests counterbalance the predominance of collaborative activities in the classroom and are therefore a relevant complement to academic training.
Minimum Wage Effects on Job Attachment: A Gender Perspective
Authors: García-Morán Eva , Jiang Ming-Jin , Rachinger Heiko 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
We examine whether the effects of the introduction of a minimum wage on low-pay employment duration in Germany in 2015 are heterogeneous by gender. In order to disentangle the effects on women and men, we estimate a duration model with unobserved heterogeneity in which we allow gender differences and differences before and after the introduction of the minimum wage. We find that the reform does affect women and men differently, in particular, it mainly increases men’s job attachment. These gender differences in job attachment are the strongest for full-time employment. In consequence, although the minimum wage may have been set up as a gender-neutral instrument, in an indirect way, it affects women and men differently. We discuss different mechanisms that could account for our result and carry out several robustness checks.

Published: June 2023

Abstract

Objectives
Perineal lacerations are a common complication of vaginal birth, affecting approximately 85 % of patients. Third-and fourth-degree perineal lacerations (3/4PL) remain a significant cause of physical and emotional distress. We aimed to perform an extensive assessment of potential risk factors for 3/4PL based on a comprehensive and current US population database.

Methods
Retrospective population-based cohort analysis based on the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Natality Live Birth online database between 2016–2020. Baseline characteristics were compared between women with 3/4PL and without 3/4PL by using Pearson’s Chi-squared test with statistical significance set at p<0.05. Bonferroni correction was used to account for multiple comparisons. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to evaluate the association between a variety of potential risk factors and the risk of 3/4P.

Results
Asians/Pacific Islanders had the highest risk of 3/4PL (2.6 %, aOR 1.74). Gestational hypertension and preeclampsia were associated with increased risk of 3/4PL (aOR 1.28 and 1.34, respectively), as were both pre-gestational and gestational diabetes (aOR 1.28 and 1.46, respectively). Chorioamnionitis was associated almost double the risk (aOR 1.86). Birth weight was a major risk factor (aOR 7.42 for greater than 4,000 g), as was nulliparity (aOR 9.89).

Conclusions
We identified several maternal, fetal, and pregnancy conditions that are associated with an increased risk for 3/4PL. As expected, nulliparity and increased birth weight were associated with the highest risk. Moreover, pregestational and gestational diabetes, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, Asian/Pacific Islander race, and chorioamnionitis were identified as novel risk factors.

Abstract

Objectives
Indirect methods for the indirect estimation of reference intervals are increasingly being used, especially for validation of reference intervals, as they can be applied to routine patient data. In this study, we compare three statistically different indirect methods for the verification and validation of reference intervals in eight laboratories distributed throughout Europe.

Methods
The RefLim method is a fast and simple approach which calculates the reference intervals by extrapolating the theoretical 95 % of non-pathological values from the central linear part of a quantile-quantile plot. The Truncated Maximum Likelihood (TML) method estimates a smoothed kernel density function for the distribution of the mixed data, for which it is assumed that the ‘‘central’’ part of the distribution represents the healthy population. The refineR utilizes an inverse modelling approach. This algorithm identifies a model that best explains the observed data before transforming the data with the Box-Cox transformation.

Results
We show that the different indirect methods each have their advantages but can also lead to inaccurate or ambiguous results depending on the approximation of the mathematical model to real-world data. A combination of different methodologies can improve the informative value and thus the reliability of results.

Conclusions
Based on routine measurements of four enzymes alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total amylase (AMY), cholinesterase (CHE) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) in adult women and men, we demonstrate that some reference limits taken from the literature need to be adapted to the laboratory’s particular local and population characteristics.
Integrated transcriptome analysis identifies APPL1/RPS6KB2/GALK1 as immune-related metastasis factors in breast cancer

Published: June 2023

Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the prognostic immune-related factors in breast cancer (BC) metastasis. The gene expression chip GSE159956 was downloaded from the gene expression omnibus database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were selected using GEO2R online tools based on lymph node and metastasis status. The intersected survival-associated DEGs were screened from the Kaplan–Meier curve. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genome (KEGG) annotation analyses were performed to determine the survival-associated DEGs. Immune-related prognostic factors were screened based on immune infiltration. The screened prognostic factors were verified by the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA). As a result, twenty-eight upregulated and three downregulated genes were generated by the survival analysis. The enriched GO and KEGG pathways were mostly correlated with “regulation of cellular amino acid metabolic process,” “proteasome complex,” “endopeptidase activity,” and “proteasome.” Six of 19 (17 upregulated and 2 downregulated) immune-related prognostic factors were verified by the TCGA database. Four immune-related factors were obtained after ssGSEA, and three significant immune-related factors were selected after univariate and multivariate analyses. Based on the risk score receiver operating characteristic, the three immune-related prognosis factors could be potential biomarkers of BC metastasis. In conclusion, APPL1, RPS6KB2, and GALK1 may play a pivotal role as potential biomarkers for prediction of BC metastasis.
Palm oil cluster resilience to enhance indigenous welfare by innovative ability to address land conflicts: Evidence of disaster hierarchy
Authors: Herdiansyah Herdis , Mamola Randi , Rokhim Rofikoh 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Recently, capacity building has been named the government’s target in evaluating strengthening land function cycle collaboration in reducing disaster conflicts due to palm oil expansion. Disaster conflicts over palm oil plantations are the main cause of the fundamental transition of environmental culture and customs, especially concerning the welfare capacity of indigenous people in Jambi Province, Indonesia. This article aims to combine information on decision hierarchies and Geographical Information System (GIS) imaging applications to assess complaints of disaster risk in the development of palm oil clusters on indigenous welfare factors due to the palm oil boom in eight Rokan hamlets, Jambi. The combination of the Analytical Hierarchy Process simulation and GIS method in the GeoDa density test is used synergistically to analyze the following criteria for disaster causes: land disputes, water pollution, habitat scarcity, drought/forest fires, floods, and crop failure. The results of the disaster hierarchy show that the priority criteria are land disputes followed by drought/forest fires and floods. Meanwhile, the answer to alternative stakeholder decisions is the regional government according to predictions from the findings of the frequency of resolution of conflicts that have occurred in the past. In addition, the GIS density results detected six Rokan hamlets in Jambi having very high and high conflicts, but two hamlets had no disaster conflict incidents. A capacity building approach in the social, economic, and environmental fields is one of the solutions in minimizing land conflicts caused by palm oil expansion.
Development of perceptual similarity and discriminability: the perception of Russian phonemes by Chinese learners
Authors: Yang Yuxiao , Chen Sunfu , Chen Fei , Ma Junzhou 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This study explored the perceptual assimilation and discrimination of Russian phonemes by three groups of Chinese listeners with differing Russian learning experience. A perceptual assimilation task (PAT) and a perceptual discrimination test (PDT) were conducted to investigate if/how L1–L2 perceptual similarity would vary as a function of increased learning experience, and the development of assimilation-discrimination relations. The PAT was analyzed via assimilation rates, dispersion K′ values, goodness ratings and assimilation patterns. Results revealed an intriguing phenomenon that the perceived Mandarin-Russian similarity first increased from naïve listeners to intermediate learners and then decreased slightly in relatively advanced learners. This suggests that L1–L2 perceptual similarity is subject to learning experience and could follow a potential “rise and fall” developmental pattern. The PDT results were mostly in line with the assimilation-discrimination correspondence with more experience bringing out better discriminability in general. Yet the overall sensitivity d′ values from the Chinese groups were relatively low, implying acoustic/articulatory effects on L2 discriminability aside from perceptual assimilation. The results were discussed under the frameworks of L2 Perceptual Assimilation Model, Speech Learning Model and L2 Linguistic Perception Model.
