Decomposition analysis of women’s empowerment-based inequalities in the use of maternal health care services in Ethiopia: Evidence from Demographic and Health Surveys

Plos.org 

by Gebretsadik Shibre, Wubegzier Mekonnen, Damen Haile Mariam

Background

The use of maternal health care services tends to rise with women’s empowerment. However, disparities in the use of maternal health care services in Ethiopia that are founded on women’s empowerment are not sufficiently addressed. In light of women’s empowerment equity stratifier, this study seeks to assess inequalities in the uptake of maternal health care services (early antenatal care, four or more antenatal care and postnatal care services).

by Andreas Jensen, Gorm Greisen, Thomas Hjuler, Lone Graff Stensballe

Objective

To assess if the overall utilisation of surgery in Danish children 0–5 years of age increased in the period 1999–2018 in line with the development within specialised medical services. The epidemiology on surgical procedures is scarce.

Methods

National register-based cohort study of all Danish children born 1994–2018 (n = 1,599,573) using data on surgery in public and private hospitals from The National... Читать дальше...

Socio-demographic, maternal, and infant characteristics associated with pacifier use among six-months old infants in Clark County, Nevada

Plos.org 

by Kaelia Lynn Saniatan, Smriti Neupane, Chad Cross, Gabriela Buccini

Background

Pacifier use can interfere with nurturing care practices such as breastfeeding, soothing, and sleeping. Due to contradicting beliefs, recommendations, and the high frequency of pacifier use, understanding its associations may support shaping equitable public health recommendations. This study explored the socio-demographic, maternal, and infant characteristics associated with pacifier use among six-months old infants in Clark County, Nevada. Читать дальше...



Industry involvement in evidence production for genomic medicine: A bibliometric and funding analysis of decision impact studies

Plos.org 

by Gillian Parker, Sarah Hunter, Stuart Hogarth, Fiona A. Miller

Background

Decision impact studies have become increasingly prevalent in genomic medicine, particularly in cancer research. Such studies are designed to provide evidence of clinical utility for genomic tests by evaluating their impact on clinical decision-making. This paper offers insights into understanding of the origins and intentions of these studies through an analysis of the actors and institutions responsible for the production of this new type of evidence.

Global-local least-squares support vector machine (GLocal-LS-SVM)

Plos.org 

by Ahmed Youssef Ali Amer

This study introduces the global-local least-squares support vector machine (GLocal-LS-SVM), a novel machine learning algorithm that combines the strengths of localised and global learning. GLocal-LS-SVM addresses the challenges associated with decentralised data sources, large datasets, and input-space-related issues. The algorithm is a double-layer learning approach that employs multiple local LS-SVM models in the first layer and one global LS-SVM model in the second layer. Читать дальше...

Public sentiment analysis on urban regeneration: A massive data study based on sentiment knowledge enhanced pre-training and latent Dirichlet allocation

Plos.org 

by Kehao Chen, Guiyu Wei

Background

Public satisfaction is the ultimate goal and an important determinant of China’s urban regeneration plan. This study is the first to use massive data to perform sentiment analysis of public comments on China’s urban regeneration.

Methods

Public comments from social media, online forums, and government affairs platforms are analyzed by a combination of Natural Language Processing, Knowledge Enhanced Pre-Training, Word Cloud, and Latent Dirichlet Allocation. Читать дальше...

Lovemarks and beyond: Examining the link between lovemarks and brand loyalty through customer advocacy in the automobile industry

Plos.org 

by Nayab Javed, Syed Haider Khalil, Amir Ishaque, Syed Majid Khalil

Purpose

Despite the potential for businesses, our understanding of lovemark brands and their consequences is limited. Numerous psychological and brand-related consequences are linked to lovemarks, but the role of influential underlining mechanisms is not fully understood. Inspired by the norms of reciprocity theory, the current study investigates the underlining role of customer advocacy in the relationship between perceived... Читать дальше...

Long-term projections of the impacts of warming temperatures on Zika and dengue risk in four Brazilian cities using a temperature-dependent basic reproduction number

Plos.org 

by Hannah Van Wyk, Joseph N. S. Eisenberg, Andrew F. Brouwer

For vector-borne diseases the basic reproduction number R 0, a measure of a disease’s epidemic potential, is highly temperature-dependent. Recent work characterizing these temperature dependencies has highlighted how climate change may impact geographic disease spread. We extend this prior work by examining how newly emerging diseases, like Zika, will be impacted by specific future climate change scenarios in four diverse regions of Brazil... Читать дальше...

Potential risk sites and their relationship with dengue cases, Campinas municipality, Southeast Brazil

Plos.org 

by Jessica Andretta Mendes, Sophie O. Vanwambeke

Background

Among the main activities of dengue and vector control recommended by the Ministry of Health of Brazil is the inspection and monitoring of properties identified as Strategic Points (SPs) and Special Buildings (SBs). SPs are properties associated to hazard, where there is a concentration of suitable egg-laying containers for Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, while SBs have greater importance for human exposure to the dengue virus.
