description: Background: Rohingya girls living in the refugee camps in Bangladesh are disproportionately vulnerable to child marriages and teenage pregnancies. This study examines the factors affecting child marriage and contraceptive use among Rohingya girls who have experienced child marriages. Methods: We collected and analysed quantitative and qualitative data from adolescent Rohingya girls (age 10-19 years) who experienced child marriages. The quantitative data (n=96) came from a cross-sectional survey, and the qualitative data (n=18) from in-depth interviews conducted in the world's largest refugee camp located in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. We also interviewed service providers (n=9) of reproductive healthcare services to gain their perspectives regarding contraceptive use among these young girls. We used descriptive statistics to characterise the girls’ demographic profiles, ages at their first marriages, and contraceptive use. Thematic analysis was used for the qualitative data to identify key factors influencing child marriage and contraceptive use among these girls. Findings: On average, the adolescent female participants had been 15.7 years old when they were first married. Over 80% had given birth during the two years before the survey or were pregnant during time of the data collection. The main factors that influenced child marriage were found to be perceptions regarding the physical and mental maturity for marriage, social norms, insecurity, family honour, preferences for younger brides and the relaxed enforcement of the minimum legal age for marriage. A third (34%) of the girls said they were using contraceptives on the week when the study was conducted. The desire for children, religious beliefs, misapprehension about contraception and long waiting periods in facility-based health services and current service provision were the main factors influencing contraceptive use. Depo Provera injections and pills were the dominant methods of contraception. Contraceptive use during the period between marriage and the first childbirth is rare. Interpretation: Girl child marriage is common in Rohingya camps. Contraceptive use is rare among newly married girls before they give birth for the first time. The involvement of female and male Rohingya volunteers for outreach services can be catalytic in promoting contraceptive use. Funding: La Trobe Asia, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia.

description: Breast cancer is one of the most widespread diseases with high incidence and mortality rate in females. The accurate biomarker discovery for the early detection of patients prone to breast cancer is crucial in the treatment and diagnosis of breast cancer. The current study employed a comprehensive approach to detect an epigenomic data pattern of breast cancer using meta-analysis and machine learning approaches. Meta-analysis is a precise method that combines the results of multiple experiments. On the other hand, integrating and combining the test results through machine learning algorithms can deal with data complexity and heterogeneity. The main purpose of the current study was to discover the patterns of epigenome changes in the treatment and prognosis of breast cancer. NCBI and EBI databases were searched for ChIP-Seq data regarding the effect of the drugs on breast cancer. There were ten investigations carried out, four of which were appropriate meta-analysis. NOV, JUN and ZBTB7A transcription factors were identified as the biomarkers of breast cancer. Finally, pattern recognition was performed using nine different attribute weighting algorithms. Fourteen genes were selected by the majority of attribute weighting algorithms as the most informative genes including KIP, TCF12, ABCC5, HDAC11, IPP, HIST1H2AM, ZNF33B, PHF2, ELAVL3, TBC1D9B, TMEM217, CD34, ARHGEF26, and CENPL. The selected genes play vital roles in the occurrence of neoplasms and breast cancer. In this study, using a combination of meta-analysis and data mining, more comprehensive and reliable information were derived compared to the individual studies.

description: Premature birth is the primary risk factor in neonatal deaths, with the majority of extremely premature babies cared for in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Mortality risk prediction in this setting can greatly improve patient outcomes and resource utilization. However, existing schemes often require laborious medical testing and calculation, and are typically only calculated once at admission. In this work, we propose a shallow hybrid neural network for the prediction of mortality risk in 3-day, 7-day, and 14-day risk windows using only birthweight, gestational age, sex, and heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR) information from a 12-h window. As such, this scheme is capable of continuously updating mortality risk assessment, enabling analysis of health trends and responses to treatment. The highest performing scheme was the network that considered mortality risk within 3 days, with this scheme outperforming state-of-the-art works in the literature and achieving an area under the receiver-operator curve (AUROC) of 0.9336 with standard deviation of 0.0337 across 5 folds of cross-validation. As such, we conclude that our proposed scheme could readily be used for continuously-updating mortality risk prediction in NICU environments.

description: Childhood overweight and obesity present formidable global public health challenges, with far-reaching consequences for individuals and societies. These conditions are influenced by a complex interplay of genetic, non-genetic, and environmental factors. In developed nations, the prevalence of overweight among adolescents, aged 15-19, exceeds 20% for both girls and boys, with obesity affecting around 8% of this population segment. Notably, adolescents from lower socio-economic backgrounds face a higher risk of overweight and obesity compared to their peers in more affluent areas.

The consequences of childhood overweight and obesity are profound, leading to severe health issues and psychosocial complications during childhood and into adulthood. These challenges encompass behavioral and emotional difficulties, reduced socialization, stigmatization, and decreased educational attainment. Furthermore, obesity in early life can set the stage for a range of long-term health and social issues. Understanding the determinants and consequences of childhood obesity is of paramount importance for public health initiatives and interventions

description: This study investigates market reactions to announcements of CEO turnover and finds that forced turnovers are not accompanied by positive returns, which contradicts the broad view that firing a CEO sends a positive signal to the market. This contradiction is further explored by focusing on the nature of not only turnover but also a firm’s past performance. This study finds that the market seems to incorporate both types of information in reacting to CEO turnover announcements. Firing an underperforming CEO is viewed as a positive signal, whereas firing an outperforming CEO is viewed as a negative signal. Rather than taking early action against CEOs for a deterioration in their performance, firms appear to be firing outperforming CEOs owing to their apparent nonperformance-related reasons. This study also explores reasons behind the decision to fire a CEO from different news databases and finds that giving no clear reasons for a CEO’s departure increases uncertainty in the market, thereby causing a negative market reaction. However, stating performance as the reason for the departure assures investors about the future trajectory of the firm and results in a positive market reaction.

description: PURPOSE To review the clinical course and spectrum of ocular injury in patients treated with radiation for malignant tumors of the head and neck. PATIENTS AND METHODS The charts of all patients seen at the King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital in the last 15 years with external beam radiation injury to the retina were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS Fourteen (9 men and 5 women) relatively young (mean age 35.9 years) patients were identified with radiation injury to the retina (14), cornea (2), lens (3), and optic nerve (6) secondary to radiation therapy (mean 6000 cGy) for nasopharyn­geal carcinoma (ten patients) and other brain, perinasal, and facial tumors (four patients). CONCLUSION Typical visual loss was not severe. The most profound visual loss occurred with radiation injury to the optic nerves and chiasm rather than retina alone. Visual function was usually maintained during the follow-up period with appropriate therapeutic intervention.

description: Objective To understand and report on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the everyday lives of frail older persons living in nursing homes by exploring their experiences of how the pandemic-related restrictions had influenced them and in what way. Design Empirical qualitative interview study. Setting A publicly run nursing home in an urban area in Sweden in June 2020. The nursing home had visitor restrictions, cancelled activities and physical distancing requirements since March 2020. Participants A total of 10 persons, 85-100 years, living in a Swedish nursing home during the COVID-19 pandemic, were recruited through nursing home management and interviewed in June 2020 using medically approved visors and physical distancing. Analysis Interviews were analysed using thematic analysis, which involves familiarisation, coding and definition of themes. Transcripts were coded into data-driven categories before being organised into categories that described and explained the data. Results The analysis resulted in the main theme 'It is like living in a bubble', that describes everyday life in the nursing home during the pandemic as a world of its own in which the older persons felt both protected and isolated. This is described in four subthemes: living 1 day at a time, without fear of the virus; feeling taken care of; having limited freedom and missing out on the little extras. Conclusions Contributing to the growing area of COVID-19-related research, our findings provide novel insights into how pandemic-related restrictions in nursing homes represent a risk of isolating older people from the outside world and diminishing their freedom. Put in relation to the previous research, these findings could be applied beyond the pandemic, to develop research and practice that puts focus on how to support older people to decide for themselves how to spend the rest of their lives.

description: To enable cumulative increases in aquaculture productivity, structured and efficient selective breeding programs are required. These are contingent on the management of genetic resources within the breeding population though the attainment of accurate pedigree information which can be provided by DNA-based parentage analysis. This study developed a SNP panel for greenlip abalone, Haliotis laevigata, from DArTSeq data produced from a genetic audit of greenlip abalone (n = 336) from five farms. The initial dataset consisted of 15,320 SNPs. Strict filtering on SNP quality control metrics was conducted to select the most informative 1,004 SNPs for the design of a DArTag™ genotyping panel for greenlip abalone. Sixteen broodstock and 1035 hatchery produced progeny were genotyped using the 1,004 SNP DArTag™ panel. The resulting genotypes were filtered, to produce 705 high performing SNPs. In silico parentage analysis using subsets of these SNPs (highest ranked by polymorphic information content) revealed that the inclusion of < 50 SNPs were satisfactory to resolve parentage for 10,000 simulated progeny to up to 200 candidate parents. The resolving power of the panel was also assessed under high levels of inbreeding (0–50 %) and relatedness (0–50 %) between candidate parents, and conditions of missing parental genotypes (10–50 %) in silico. Under all levels of inbreeding, relatedness and missing parental genotypes simulated, the panel was able to accurately assign parental pairs to the offspring. To validate these in silico results, parentage analysis of the hatchery produced progeny of the 16 candidate broodstock was conducted using both CERVUS and APIS. Complete parentage was assigned to all experimental progeny, with 100 % consensus between the two methods used. This study indicates this panel will serve as an efficient and cost-effective tool for accurate pedigree establishment for greenlip abalone.

description: Background Stakeholder engagement is essential to the design, implementation and evaluation of complex mental health interventions like peer support. Theory of Change (ToC) is commonly used in global health research to help structure and promote stakeholder engagement throughout the project cycle. Stakeholder insights are especially important in the context of a multi-site trial, in which an intervention may need to be adapted for implementation across very different settings while maintaining fidelity to a core model. This paper describes the development of a ToC for a peer support intervention to be delivered to people with severe mental health conditions in five countries as part of the UPSIDES trial. Methods One hundred thirty-four stakeholders from diverse backgrounds participated in a total of 17 workshops carried out at six UPSIDES implementing sites across high-, middle- and low-income settings (one site each in India, Israel, Uganda and Tanzania; two sites in Germany). The initial ToC maps created by stakeholders at each site were integrated into a cross-site ToC map, which was then revised to incorporate additional insights from the academic literature and updated iteratively through multiple rounds of feedback provided by the implementers. Results The final ToC map divides the implementation of the UPSIDES peer support intervention into three main stages: preparation, implementation, and sustainability. The map also identifies three levels of actors involved in peer support: individuals (service users and peer support workers), organisations (and their staff members), and the public. In the UPSIDES trial, the ToC map proved especially helpful in characterising and distinguishing between (a) common features of peer support, (b) shared approaches to implementation and (c) informing adaptations to peer support or implementation to account for contextual differences. Conclusions UPSIDES is the first project to develop a multi-national ToC for a mental health peer support intervention. Stakeholder engagement in the ToC process helped to improve the cultural and contextual appropriateness of a complex intervention and ensure equivalence across sites for the purposes of a multi-site trial. It may serve as a blueprint for implementing similar interventions with a focus on recovery and social inclusion among people with mental ill-health across diverse settings.

description: Study Region: The mountainous catchments in the Australian Alps are one of the highest water-yielding regions within a generally dry continent. Peatlands are critical water-regulating components of these catchments, and their response to a changing climate will impact all downstream environments and water availability for human uses. Study Focus: Mountain peatland ecohydrology, and in particular the role of evapotranspiration, remains incompletely understood. This study focused on evapotranspiration and biogeochemical regulation of “Alpine Sphagnum Bogs”, with a case study at Watchbed Creek peatland. Eddy covariance was used to quantify evapotranspiration and combined with Penman-Monteith-based evapotranspiration to calculate an ‘ecosystem vegetation coefficient’ (KESV). Base-flow evapotranspiration and analyses of Cl−, Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ in peatland stream water were used to assess biogeochemical processes. New Hydrological Insights for the Region: This work demonstrates that evapotranspiration is a major component of the water budget, 26% of annual precipitation. Further, we show how KESV calculated from direct measurements at one site may enable evapotranspiration to be modelled for other mountain catchments. The seasonally dependent nature of the biogeochemical regulation processes observed in this mountain peatland can be used as a reference to evaluate the condition of peatlands under similar synoptic weather conditions. In practice, this means that mountain ecosystem restoration can now be informed by a better understanding of the ecohydrology of these critical high mountain catchments.

Epistemic Logic and the Problem of Epistemic Closure
Creators: name: Quadrellaro, Davide Emilio
Publisher: name: Rivista Italiana di Filosofia Analitica Junior
Year: 2016

description: This paper argues that propositional modal logics based on Kripke-structures cannot be accepted by epistemologists as a minimal framework to describe propositional knowledge. In fact, many authors have raised doubts over the validity of the so-called principle of epistemic closure, which is always valid in normal modal logics. This paper examines how this principle might be criticized and dis- cusses one possible way to obtain a modal logic where it does not hold, namely through the introduction of impossible worlds..

A New Model for the Liar
Creators: name: Castaldo, Luca
Publisher: name: Rivista Italiana di Filosofia Analitica Junior

description: A new model for the language of arithmetic enhanced by the unary truth predicate T is presented, which extends Kripke’s minimal fixed point. The latter, it will be argued, does not adequately model the truth predicate, since no difference between Liars and Truth-tellers can be made. The new model, which contains an extension of Kripke’s in- terpretation of T along with a new 4-valued logic, overcomes this inadequacy. The gist of my proposal is that 'paradoxical' ought to be treated as a truth value: Liar sentences, unlike Truth-teller sentences, do not simply lack a truth value. They do posses one: they are paradoxical.

description: An experiment examined the potency of nostalgia—a sentimental longing for one’s past—to facilitate detection of death-related stimuli, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and behavioral techniques (i.e., judgmental accuracy, reaction times). We hypothesized and found that, at the neural level, nostalgic (relative to control) participants evinced more intense activation in right amygdala in response to death-related (vs. neutral) words. We also hypothesized and found that, at the behavioral level, nostalgic (relative to control) participants manifested greater accuracy in judging whether two death-related (vs. neutral) words belonged in the same category. Exploratory analyses indicated that nostalgic (relative to control) participants did not show faster reaction times to death-related (vs. neutral) words. In all, nostalgia appeared to aid in death threat detection. We consider implications for the relevant literatures.

description: Abstract Despite advances in the treatment and care of severe physical injuries, trauma remains one of the main reasons for disability-adjusted life years worldwide. Trauma patients often suffer from disturbances in energy utilization and metabolic dysfunction, including hyperglycemia and increased insulin resistance. White adipose tissue plays an essential role in the regulation of energy homeostasis and is frequently implicated in traumatic injury due to its ubiquitous body distribution but remains poorly studied. Initial triggers of the trauma response are mainly damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) such as histones. We hypothesized that DAMP-induced adipose tissue inflammation contributes to metabolic dysfunction in trauma patients. Therefore, we investigated whether histone release during traumatic injury affects adipose tissue. Making use of a murine polytrauma model with hemorrhagic shock, we found increased serum levels of histones accompanied by an inflammatory response in white adipose tissue. In vitro, extracellular histones induced an inflammatory response in human adipocytes. On the molecular level, this inflammatory response was mediated via a MYD88-IRAK1-ERK signaling axis as demonstrated by pharmacological and genetic inhibition. Histones also induced lytic cell death executed independently of caspases and RIPK1 activity. Importantly, we detected increased histone levels in the bloodstream of patients after polytrauma. Such patients might benefit from a therapy consisting of activated protein C and the FDA-approved ERK inhibitor trametinib, as this combination effectively prevented histone-mediated effects on both, inflammatory gene activation and cell death in adipocytes. Preventing adipose tissue inflammation and adipocyte death in patients with polytrauma could help minimize posttraumatic metabolic dysfunction.

description: Introduction There are personal and societal benefits from caregiving; however, caregiving can jeopardise caregivers' health. The Further Enabling Care at Home (FECH+) programme provides structured nurse support, through telephone outreach, to informal caregivers of older adults following discharge from acute hospital care to home. The trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of the FECH+ programme on caregivers' health-related quality of life (HRQOL) after care recipients' hospital discharge. Methods and analysis A multisite, parallel-group, randomised controlled trial with blinded baseline and outcome assessment and intention-to-treat analysis, adhering to Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials guidelines will be conducted. Participants (N=925 dyads) comprising informal home caregiver (18 years or older) and care recipient (70 years or older) will be recruited when the care recipient is discharged from hospital. Caregivers of patients discharged from wards in three hospitals in Australia (one in Western Australia and two in Queensland) are eligible for inclusion. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. The intervention group receive the FECH+ programme, which provides structured support and problem-solving for the caregiver after the care recipient's discharge, in addition to usual care. The control group receives usual care. The programme is delivered by a registered nurse and comprises six 30-45 min telephone support sessions over 6 months. The primary outcome is caregivers' HRQOL measured using the Assessment of Quality of Life - eight dimensions. Secondary outcomes include caregiver preparedness, strain and distress and use of healthcare services. Changes in HRQOL between groups will be compared using a mixed regression model that accounts for the correlation between repeated measurements. Ethics and dissemination Participants will provide written informed consent. Ethics approvals have been obtained from Sir Charles Gairdner and Osborne Park Health Care Group, Curtin University, Griffith University, Gold Coast Health Service and government health data linkage services. Findings will be disseminated through presentations, peer-reviewed journals and conferences. Trial registration number ACTRN12620000060943.

description: Peroxisomes are recognized as significant platforms for the activation of antiviral innate immunity where stimulation of the key adapter molecule mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) within the RIG-I like receptor (RLR) pathway culminates in the up-regulation of hundreds of ISGs, some of which drive augmentation of multiple innate sensing pathways. However, whether ISGs can augment peroxisome-driven RLR signaling is currently unknown. Using a proteomics-based screening approach, we identified Pex19 as a binding partner of the ISG viperin. Viperin colocalized with numerous peroxisomal proteins and its interaction with Pex19 was in close association with lipid droplets, another emerging innate signaling platform. Augmentation of the RLR pathway by viperin was lost when Pex19 expression was reduced. Expression of organelle-specific MAVS demonstrated that viperin requires both mitochondria and peroxisome MAVS for optimal induction of IFN-β. These results suggest that viperin is required to enhance the antiviral cellular response with a possible role to position the peroxisome at the mitochondrial/MAM MAVS signaling synapse, furthering our understanding of the importance of multiple organelles driving the innate immune response against viral infection.

description: Asmultimedia data sharing increases, data security in mobile devices and its mechanism can be seen as critical. Biometrics combines the physiological and behavioral qualities of an individual to validate their character in real-time. Humans incorporate physiological attributes like a fingerprint, face, iris, palm print, finger knuckle print, Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA), and behavioral qualities like walk, voice, mark, or keystroke. The main goal of this paper is to design a robust framework for automatic face recognition. Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) and Speeded-up Robust Features (SURF) are employed for face recognition. Also, we propose a modifiedGabor Wavelet Transform for SIFT/SURF (GWT-SIFT/GWT-SURF) to increase the recognition accuracy of human faces. The proposed scheme is composed of three steps. First, the entropy of the image is removed using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). Second, the computational complexity of the SIFT/SURF is reduced. Third, the accuracy is increased for authentication by the proposed GWT-SIFT/GWT-SURF algorithm. A comparative analysis of the proposed scheme is done on real-time OlivettiResearch Laboratory (ORL) and Poznan University of Technology (PUT) databases. When compared to the traditional SIFT/SURF methods, we verify that the GWT-SIFT achieves the better accuracy of 99.32% and the better approach is the GWT-SURF as the run time of theGWT-SURF for 100 images is 3.4 seconds when compared to the GWT-SIFT which has a run time of 4.9 seconds for 100 images.
