Published: January 2022

Objectives
To assess the cost-effectiveness of various combinations of urate lowering therapy (ULT) and anti-inflammatory treatment in the management of newly diagnosed gout patients, from the Dutch societal perspective.

Methods
A probabilistic patient-level simulation estimating costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) comparing gout and hyperuricemia treatment strategies was performed. ULT options febuxostat, allopurinol and no ULT were considered. Flare treatments naproxen, colchicine, prednisone, and anakinra were considered. A Markov Model was constructed to simulate gout disease. Health states were no flare, and severe pain, mild pain, moderate pain, or no pain in the presence of a flare. Model input was derived from patient level clinical trial data, meta-analyses or from previously published health-economic evaluations. The results of probabilistic sensitivity analyses were presented using incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs), and summarized using cost-effectiveness acceptability curves (CEACs). Scenario analyses were performed.

Results
The ICER for allopurinol versus no ULT was €1,381, when combined with naproxen. Febuxostat yielded the highest utility, but also the highest costs (€4,385 vs. €4,063 for allopurinol), resulting in an ICER of €25,173 when compared to allopurinol. No ULT was not cost-effective, yielding the lowest utility. For the gout flare medications, comparable effects on utility were achieved. Combined with febuxostat, naproxen was the cheapest option (€4,404), and anakinra the most expensive (€4,651). The ICER of anakinra compared to naproxen was €818,504. Colchicine and prednisone were dominated by naproxen.

Conclusion
Allopurinol and febuxostat were both cost-effective compared to No ULT. Febuxostat was cost-effective in comparison with allopurinol at higher willingness-to-pay thresholds. For treating gout flares, colchicine, naproxen and prednisone offered comparable health economic implications, although naproxen was the favoured option.

Published: January 2022

Objectives
This study is designed to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practice of food poisoning and its factors among postgraduate students in Universiti Putra Malaysia.

Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 212 respondents who were selected through simple random sampling. Data was generated using a validated and reliable self-administered questionnaire.

Results
The majority of the respondents are male, aged less than 35 years old, non-Malaysian, single, first-degree holders, not working, received a monthly income of less than 3264 Malaysian Ringgit, aware of food poisoning outbreak and the sources of their information of the food poisoning outbreak were television, the internet, newspaper, Online journals, friends, Facebook, community, nurse, drinking raw milk for the second time, information from their parents, relatives, restaurant, and radio. Majority had previous history of food poisoning illness but didn’t correctly confirm the causes of their food poisoning illness. Majority had poor knowledge, acceptable attitude, and good practice of food poisoning. A significant association was observed for citizen, marital status, awareness of food poisoning outbreak, and previous history of food poisoning illness with knowledge. Gender and awareness of food poisoning outbreak were significantly associated with attitude. Attitude and practice were significantly associated. Logistic regression revealed that being married, awareness of food poisoning outbreak, and previous history of food poisoning illness are predictors for good knowledge. Female respondents and awareness of food poisoning outbreak are predictors for acceptable attitude.

Conclusion
Documentation of the identified poor knowledge and factors affecting knowledge, attitude, and practice provides essential information on the baseline indicators towards the risk of food poisoning among the respondents. A relevant interventional program is highly recommended to prevent the potential risks of food poisoning outbreak among them.

Published: January 2022

ObjectiveSleep disturbances are common in pregnancy. Blocking blue light has been shown to improve sleep and may be a suitable intervention for sleep problems during pregnancy. The present study investigated the effects of blue light blocking in the evening and during nocturnal awakenings among pregnant women on primary sleep outcomes in terms of total sleep time, sleep efficiency and mid-point of sleep.MethodsIn a double-blind randomized controlled trial, 60 healthy nulliparous pregnant women in the beginning of the third trimester were included. They were randomized, using a random number generator, either to a blue-blocking glass intervention (n = 30) or to a control glass condition constituting partial blue-blocking effect (n = 30). Baseline data were recorded for one week and outcomes were recorded in the last of two intervention/control weeks. Sleep was measured by actigraphy, sleep diaries, the Bergen Insomnia Scale, the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale and the Pre-Sleep Arousal Scale.ResultsThe results on the primary outcomes showed no significant mean difference between the groups at posttreatment, neither when assessed with sleep diary; total sleep time (difference = .78[min], 95%CI = -19.7, 21.3), midpoint of sleep (difference = -8.9[min], 95%CI = -23.7, 5.9), sleep efficiency (difference = -.06[%], 95%CI = -1.9, 1.8) and daytime functioning (difference = -.05[score points], 95%CI = -.33, .22), nor by actigraphy; total sleep time (difference = 13.0[min], 95%CI = -9.5, 35.5), midpoint of sleep (difference = 2.1[min], 95%CI = -11.6, 15.8) and sleep efficiency (difference = 1.7[%], 95%CI = -.4, 3.7). On the secondary outcomes, the Bergen Insomnia Scale, the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale and the Pre-Sleep Arousal Scale the blue-blocking glasses no statistically significant difference between the groups were found. Transient side-effects were reported in both groups (n = 3).ConclusionsThe use of blue-blocking glasses compared to partially blue-blocking glasses in a group of healthy pregnant participants did not show statistically significant effects on sleep outcomes. Research on the effects of blue-blocking glasses for pregnant women with sleep-problems or circadian disturbances is warranted.Trial registrationThe trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03114072).
Metformin exposure, maternal PCOS status and fetal venous liver circulation: A randomized, placebo-controlled study
Authors: Grindheim Sindre , Ebbing Cathrine , Karlsen Henriette Odland , Skulstad Svein Magne , Real Francisco Gómez , Lønnebotn Marianne , Løvvik Tone , Vanky Eszter , Kessler Jørg 
Published: January 2022

Background
Metformin is prescribed to women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) to prevent pregnancy complications. Children exposed to metformin vs. placebo in utero, have increased head circumference at birth and are more overweight and obese at 8 years of age. Also, maternal PCOS-status seems to alter the long-term cardio-metabolic health of offspring. We hypothesized that the long-term effects of metformin-exposure and/or maternal PCOS may be mediated by circulatory adaptations during fetal life.

Material and methods
This is a sub-study of a larger double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial, where women with PCOS were randomized to metformin (2g/day) or placebo in pregnancy, a total of 487 women. A sub-group of participants (N = 58) took part in this sub-study and had an extended ultrasound examination at gestational week 32, including blood flow velocity and diameter measurements of the umbilical vein (UV), the ductus venosus (DV) and the portal vein (PV). Blood flow volume was calculated and adjusted for estimated fetal weight (EFW) (normalized flow). Metformin exposed fetuses were compared to placebo exposed fetuses. Fetuses of mothers with PCOS (metformin [n = 30] and placebo [n = 28]) were compared to a low-risk reference population (N = 160) by z-score statistics.

Results
There was no difference in fetal liver flow between metformin vs. placebo-exposed fetuses. Fetuses of mothers with PCOS had higher EFW (0.63 [95% CI 0.44–0.83] p<0.001), lower normalized UV, DV, PV, and lower total venous liver blood flows than the reference population.

Conclusion
Metformin during pregnancy did not affect fetal liver blood-flow. In our population, maternal PCOS-status was associated with reduced total venous liver blood-flow, which may explain altered growth and metabolism later in life.

Published: January 2022

Background
In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, many individuals have been found to endorse conspiracy beliefs. Socio-demographic variables, personality functioning, anxiety, and loneliness could be risk factors for this endorsement.

Methods
In a representative sample of the German population (N = 2,503) measures of conspiracy mentality, conspiracy-related beliefs toward COVID-19, personality functioning (OPD-SQS), anxiety (HADS), and loneliness (UCLA) were assessed. Pearson product-moment correlations and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted.

Results
Conspiracy mentality and conspiracy-related beliefs toward COVID-19 were strongly correlated. Regression analyses found younger age, male gender, lower education, and lower income to be associated with conspiracy mentality. The subscales relationship model and self-perception of the OPD-SQS were positively related to conspiracy mentality whereas interpersonal contact was negatively associated. Higher levels of anxiety were statistically predictive for conspiracy mentality.

Conclusion
Our findings indicate a contribution of personality functioning to the understanding of conspiracy mentality and thus to the advancement of interventions during the pandemic.

Inflation Targeting and Economic Performance: Application of the New Keynesian Small Open Economy DSGE
Authors: Habiby Salwa 
Published: January 2022

Bank Al-Maghrib aim to adopt the inflation targeting regime to keep pace with changes in the monetary policy environment. The challenge for the central bank is to meet the prerequisites of inflation targeting to ensure the anchoring of expectations, and thus achieve the inflation target and real stability.
The objective of this paper is to propose an optimal model for Morocco's successful transition to inflation targeting.
To do so, we build a New Keynesian Small Open Economy DSGE model, characterized by financial frictions, imperfect exchange rate pass-through, unemployment, fiscal rule and new shocks. The results of our simulations lead us to assert that it would be wise to choose the most complete model, since it provides credibility, stability and growth.
Keywords: anchoring expectations, inflation targeting, economic growth, DSGE, financial frictions.
Inferring case paradigms in Koalib with computational classifiers
Authors: Quint Nicolas , Allassonnière-Tang Marc 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThe object case inflection in Koalib (Niger-Congo) represents complex patterns that involve phoneme position, syllable structure, and tonal pattern. Few attempts have been made with qualitative and quantitative approaches to identify the rules of the object case paradigms in Koalib. In the current study, information on phonemes, tones, and syllables are automatically extracted from a Koalib sample of 2,677 lexemes. The data is then fed to decision-tree-based classifiers to predict the object case paradigms and extract the interactive patterns between the variables. The results improve the predicting accuracy of existing studies and identify the case paradigms predicted by linguistic hypotheses. New case paradigms are also found by the computational classifiers and explained from a linguistic perspective. Our work demonstrates that the combination of linguistic theoretical knowledge with machine learning techniques can become one of the methodological approaches for linguistic analyses.

Authors: Surówka Witold , Czubak Piotr 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
The new vibratory conveyor intended for the precise material dosage was investigated in the hereby study. The transport possibilities in the circum-resonance zone were tested analytically as well as by simulation. The optimal working point of the system, allowing to lower the vibration amplitude of the eliminator on its own suspension, was found. Transport velocities in dependence on the excitation frequency were determined by simulation. The results were verified on the specially designed industrial conveyor whose parameters were determined using analytical and simulation investigations, built according to the patent application.

Refining gentleness – a key to bulky CTMP
Authors: Berg Jan-Erik , Persson Erik , Hellstadius Börje , Edlund Henrik , Granfeldt Thomas , Lundfors Mikael , Engstrand Per 
Published: January 2022

AbstractChemithermomechanical pulp (CTMP) is often used in middle layers of multiply paperboards due to its high bulk at specified strength. Such a CTMP should consist of well-separated undamaged fibres with sufficient bonding capacity. The basic objective of this work is to examine the effect of refining on bulk, taking into account conditions such as temperature, sulphonation, refining gap and refiner size. First stage CTMP made from Norway spruce (Picea abies) were produced in pilot and mill scale trials. Two new parameters,Equivalent temperature related to softnessandRefining gentlenessare introduced that take into account refining conditions as actual temperature, softening temperature, bound sulphonate content, refining gap and refiner diameter. The results show that bulk increases linearly with refining gentleness.
Analysis of aeromagnetic filtering techniques in locating the primary target in sedimentary terrain: A review
Authors: Aina Oni Olubukola , Aizebeokhai Ahzegbobor P. , Oritsemamididasan Boyo Henry 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
This article analyzes some aeromagnetic filtering techniques for mitigating deceptive geophysical conceptions that may result in a distorted range of geological information from aeromagnetic data. The implication of using the aeromagnetic method, data processing, and enhancement to distinguish sediment-produced anomalies was considered. Two methods to locate buried faults in aeromagnetic data were compared: Edge and fault detection were considered using the magnetic contrast and horizontal gradient methods, whereas rapid depth estimation was considered using the Euler deconvolution method and Signum method. The general challenge to find the magnetic anomaly depth and delineate edges relies on geophysical filtering techniques discussed in order to maintain its geological relevance. The magnetic-contrast layer model signatures help clarify the existence of intra-sedimentary faults. The horizontal gradient approach relative to other derivative methods has better noise stability and fast adaptation to grids without modifying parameters. However, the Signum transform (ST) approach offers a more special solution in depth estimation than the Euler’s deconvolution approach whose solution relies on the required choice of default shape parameters and windows. The Euler deconvolution procedure may not be able to detect structures found by the ST approach and vice versa. As a result, these techniques may be used in conjunction with one another during analysis, as complementary interpretation tools. This review will however aid in the analysis of information used as a criterion for determining faults using various analytical techniques like ST or Euler deconvolution.
Fully Legendre spectral collocation technique for stochastic heat equations
Authors: Abdelkawy Mohamed A. , Ahmad Hijaz , Jeelani Mdi Begum , Alnahdi Abeer S. 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
For the stochastic heat equation (SHE), a very accurate spectral method is considered. To solve the SHE, we suggest using a shifted Legendre Gauss–Lobatto collocation approach in combination with a shifted Legendre Gauss–Radau collocation technique. A comprehensive theoretical formulation is offered, together with numerical examples, to demonstrate the technique’s performance and competency. The scheme’s superiority in tackling the SHE is demonstrated.
