Prevalence and incidence of cancer amongst adults with intellectual disability — a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol
Authors: McMahon Martin , Wormald Andrew , Eustace-Cook Jessica , McCarron Mary , McCallion Philip , Smith Valerie 
Published: September 2023

Background: People with intellectual disabilities have poorer health and die earlier than their peers without identified disabilities. This difference represents a significant inequality. Until recently, it was considered that cancer was less common in this population, mainly because they did not live long enough to develop age-related cancers. However, recent evidence has identified that people with intellectual disabilities may be at an increased risk of developing cancer but more likely to present for medical treatment at a later stage when cancer has spread. Nonetheless, the evidence is lacking and there is a need to understand the prevalence and incidence of cancer and subtypes of cancer in adults with intellectual disabilities. Methods A systematic review and meta-analysis will be undertaken to investigate the prevalence and incidence of cancer and subtypes of cancer in adults with an intellectual disability. The JBI Systematic reviews of prevalence and incidence and the PRISMA-P (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines were followed to develop this protocol. Electronic databases will be searched using predefined search terms to identify relevant studies using the Condition Context Population (CoCoPop) framework. Eligible studies should be observational and have published baseline data that have estimated or presented data on the prevalence or incidence of cancer in adults with intellectual disability. To assess the methodological quality of studies included in this review a modified version of the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for Studies Reporting Prevalence Data will be used. Prevalence and incidence proportions will be analysed separately with individual study data being pooled using the DerSimonian-Laird proportion method and a random effects meta-analysis will be undertaken. Discussion: This review will advance the epidemiological evidence to identify where targeted cancer care interventions are needed to help reduce the inequalities that this population experiences.

Introduction: The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) evidence to decision (EtD) framework provides a structured and transparent approach for clinical guideline developers to use when formulating recommendations. Understanding how stakeholders use the EtD framework will inform how best to provide future training and support. This scoping review objective is to identify the key characteristics of how the GRADE EtD framework is used and identify studies on perception of use by those involved in developing clinical guidelines. Methods: JBI methodology for scoping reviews will be followed. This scoping review will consider both peer review published literature and grey literature. This will include empirical studies on the use of EtDs (including both quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods primary research articles) and discussion papers/ commentaries on the experience of using the EtD. It will also include a random sample of publicly available populated EtDs identified from databases and repositories of GRADE guidelines. The search strategy will aim to locate both published and unpublished documents. First, we will conduct an exploratory search of MEDLINE and Embase (Elsevier), supplemented with citation analysis of included articles. Populated EtDs will be identified through searches of databases and repositories of GRADE guidelines. Two researchers will independently screen, select, and extract identified documents. Data will be presented in tables and summarized descriptively. Conclusion: This scoping review will identify the key characteristics of how the GRADE EtD framework is currently being used in clinical guidelines. Review findings can be used to inform future guidance and requirements for using GRADE EtD, as well as training on how to consider the criteria in developing recommendations. Results will be disseminated through publications in peer – reviewed journals and conference presentations. We will present our findings to relevant stakeholders via the networks of the co-author team at a one-day workshop.
Engineering the thin film characteristics for optimal performance of superconducting kinetic inductance amplifiers using a rigorous modelling technique
Authors: Tan Boon-Kok , Boussaha Faouzi , Chaumont Christine , Longden Joseph , Navarro Montilla Javier 
Published: September 2023

Background: Kinetic Inductance Travelling Wave Parametric Amplifiers (KITWPAs) are a variant of superconducting amplifier that can potentially achieve high gain with quantum-limited noise performance over broad bandwidth, which is important for many ultra-sensitive experiments. In this paper, we present a novel modelling technique that can better capture the electromagnetic behaviour of a KITWPA without the translation symmetry assumption, allowing us to flexibly explore the use of more complex transmission line structures and better predict their performance. Methods: In order to design a KITWPA with optimal performance, we investigate the use of different superconducting thin film materials, and compare their pros and cons in forming a high-gain low-loss medium feasible for amplification. We establish that if the film thickness can be controlled precisely, the material used has less impact on the performance of the device, as long as it is topologically defect-free and operating within its superconducting regime. With this insight, we propose the use of Titanium Nitride (TiN) film for our KITWPA as its critical temperature can be easily altered to suit our applications. We further investigate the topological effect of different commonly used superconducting transmission line structures with the TiN film, including the effect of various non-conducting materials required to form the amplifier. Results: Both of these comprehensive studies led us to two configurations of the KITWPA: 1) A low-loss 100 nm thick TiN coplanar waveguide amplifier, and 2) A compact 50 nm TiN inverted microstrip amplifier. We utilise the novel modelling technique described in the first part of the paper to explore and investigate the optimal design and operational setup required to achieve high gain with the broadest bandwidth for both KITWPAs, including the effect of loss. Conclusions: Finally, we conclude the paper with the actual layout and the predicted gain-bandwidth product of our KITWPAs.

Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the level of subjective control of students with different types of cultural and value orientations. The relevance of the research is due to the fact that the phenomenon of the level of subjective control determines the responsibility of an individual, the direction of his actions, which is especially significant for modern society during the period of mastering the profession. The formation of the level of subjective control of a personality is influenced by its individual typological features, upbringing, social environment and culture. Therefore, in order to build strategies to optimize the professional training of modern students, it is important to know their belonging to a particular culture.
The purpose of the article is to consider the specifics of the relationship between the level of subjective control of students with different types of cultural and value orientations.
Methods: questionnaire of USK J. Rotter’s adaptation by E.F. Bazhin, S.A. Golynkina, A.M. Etkind; test of cultural and value orientations by J.Townsend’s adaptation by L.G. Pochebut.
As a result of the research, students belong to three types of cultures: traditional, modern and dynamically developing.The features of the indicators of internality of students of each type of culture in different spheres (achievements, failures, family, industrial and family relations) are identified and analyzed. It is proved that belonging to the type of culture has a statistically significant effect on the level of subjective control of the individual.

The data obtained as a result of the introduction of the developed conditions and means of pedagogical stimulation, as well as those obtained in the course of diagnostics during an empirical study, after appropriate adjustments to the content of education, confirm with a high degree of certainty the hypothesis of the study that the introduction of pedagogical support, conditions and means will be effective, and statistical processing of the obtained results testifies to their significance.
Operational Risk Management: Optimal Inspection Policy
Authors: Kim Youngsoo , Xu Yuqian 
Published: September 2023

Major banks around the world lost nearly $210 billion during the period of 2011–2016 due to operational risk events. To mitigate the severe consequences that can arise from such events, the Basel Regulatory Committee has mandated that financial institutions worldwide conduct inspections on operational risk. In light of the importance of operational risk and its current regulation in the industry, this paper proposes a continuous-time principal-agent model that explores the optimal inspection policy of a financial firm (principal) and the effort of its employees (agent) to reduce the occurrence of risk events. First, we characterize the optimal inspection strategy under two commonly used policies in practice, namely random and periodic policies. This characterization reveals the conditions for two different modes of inspection (effort inducement and error correction), as well as the nuanced interactions among the inspection frequency, the penalty charged for errors, and the wage paid to employees. Next, by comparing random and periodic policies, we find that the random policy outperforms the periodic policy if and only if the inspection cost is high. Furthermore, we propose a hybrid policy that strictly dominates the random policy and weakly dominates the periodic policy, suggesting that a proper reduction of the random element in the inspection policy, in the manner of our proposed hybrid policy, can always improve its performance. Finally, we examine the complete information benchmark (without moral hazard), supplemental mitigation strategies, and numerical studies to provide further insights and show the robustness of our main findings.

Community water fluoridation and the benefits for adults
Authors: Walmsley A Damien , Jones Colwyn M , Morris A John 
Published: September 2023

While community water fluoridation (CWF) is widely endorsed by public health bodies around the world as an effective and safe public health measure to reduce levels of tooth decay, much of the evidence underpinning this, and therefore much of the stated rationale, is centred on the benefits for children, despite dental caries in adults being a significant public health problem. In this article, we explore why this is and what the available evidence tells us about the impact of CWF on adults. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Fluoridation is an issue to consider when risk-assessing patients of all ages for dental caries.
Pre-eruptive intracoronal resorption: case report
Authors: Ondhia Amrisha , Eissa Nader , Chaudhary Mohsin 
Published: September 2023

This case describes the presentation of pre-eruptive intracoronal resorption affecting multiple permanent teeth in an 11-year-old female child. Pre-eruptive intracoronal resorption is a lesion that is often located within the dentine, adjacent to the enamel–dentine junction in the occlusal face of the tooth crown. Histological reports have shown the presence of resorptive cells in these lesions. Previous literature presents cases usually affecting a single tooth, in this case 10 permanent teeth were found to be affected. Clinicians should be aware of this diagnosis and its treatment modalities to ensure appropriate management is carried out. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This case highlights pre-eruptive intracoronal resorption for clinicians based in both primary and secondary care settings
Multiple supernumerary teeth: a sign of an underlying syndrome?
Authors: Amin Nima , Parker K , Acharya P 
Published: September 2023

Supernumerary teeth can be an important sign for early diagnosis of an underlying syndrome, and in some circumstances, may be one of the only presenting features. Dentists are best placed to detect supernumerary teeth and therefore, it is important to understand the syndromes associated with them to aid early diagnosis of any associated syndromes. Craniofacial, ophthalmological and gastro-intestinal findings are just a few of the characteristics that may cause a dentist to suspect an underlying genetic disorder. Although it is not within the scope for dentists to diagnose these rare associated syndromes, early referral to the general medical practitioner may in turn help patients access the interdisciplinary management they may need. CPD/Clinical Relevance: An awareness of the signs and symptoms of syndromes associated with supernumerary teeth can aid early diagnosis.

Einsatz von Cloud-Technologien und -ressourcen in der Co-Simulation
Authors: Wack Thorsten , Schröder Andreas 
Published: September 2023

ZusammenfassungSchnell veränderliche (gesetzliche) Rahmenbedingungen, volatile Märkte und immer stärker ausgeprägte Cross-industrielle Netzwerke machen den Einsatz von computergestützten Simulations- und Optimierungslösungen notwendig. Oftmals stellen die beteiligten Komponentenlieferanten ihre Teilmodelle jedoch nur als Black-Box bereit, um ihr geistige Eigentum zu schützen. In diesem Fall ist im Rahmen der Systemintegration eine monolithische Berechnung des Gesamtsystems nicht mehr möglich. Hier kann die Methode der Co-Simulation entscheidend weiterhelfen, mögliche Betriebszustände und Optima effizient zu ermitteln.Im vorliegenden Artikel wird beschrieben, wie diese Methode unter Einsatz von Multi-Cloud-Technologien und -Ressourcen in einem skalierbaren System implementiert wurde. Dabei werden sowohl Privacy-Aspekte der beteiligten Akteure als auch eine optimale Ausnutzung lokaler und in der Cloud verfügbarer Ressourcen unter Berücksichtigung von Performance- und Kostenaspekten betrachtet. Der Einsatz der ausgewählten Technologien erlaubt es, eine Vielzahl an Berechnungen parallel durchzuführen und so komplexe Parameterräume durch entsprechende Variationsrechnungen in kürzester Zeit abzutasten.
