How does perceptions of social justice affect farmers’ political participation?—Evidence from China

Plos.org 
En

by Zijian He

Ronald Inglehart’s postmaterialist theory suggests that with the advancement of industrialization and economic prosperity, there will be a significant transformation in people’s societal values. Concurrently, their forms of political participation shift from conventional activities to unconventional politic activities. However, most research on this topic has been predominantly focused on Western countries. In fact, rural farmers in China serve as an excellent experimental group... Читать дальше...

BMI trajectory in adulthood in relation to all-cause and cause-specific mortality: A retrospective cohort study in Taiwan

by Po-Wei Chiu, Tsung Yu, Shikha Kukreti, Carol Strong

A dynamic change of weight over time has been known as an important factor that impacts mortality risk. The aims of this study were to identify the heterogeneity of BMI trajectory groups and to examine the association of the trajectories of BMI and all-cause and cause-specific mortality. The data for this study were obtained from a large prospective cohort study in Taiwan between 1998 and 2019 that was linked to the National Death Registry for death information. Читать дальше...

Quantifying confidence shifts in a BERT-based question answering system evaluated on perturbed instances

by Ke Shen, Mayank Kejriwal

Recent work on transformer-based neural networks has led to impressive advances on multiple-choice natural language processing (NLP) problems, such as Question Answering (QA) and abductive reasoning. Despite these advances, there is limited work still on systematically evaluating such models in ambiguous situations where (for example) no correct answer exists for a given prompt among the provided set of choices. Such ambiguous situations are not infrequent in real world applications. Читать дальше...

Psychosocial determinants of adolescent romantic relationship in Malaysia: Social media use, pornography surfing, sexual and reproductive health knowledge, and depression

by Muhammad Ikhwan Mud Shukri, Anisah Baharom

It is socially natural that adolescents engage in romantic relationship. However, there are negative health implications when they are not properly monitored and guided. The engagement in unsafe sexual practices has been reported to cause various adverse health and social implications affecting Malaysian adolescents. To date, why adolescents engage in romantic relationship has remained understudied. Prior studies on adolescent romantic relationship mainly focused on the western context. Читать дальше...



Comparing the effectiveness of mother-focused interventions to that of mother-child focused interventions in improving maternal postpartum depression outcomes: A systematic review

Plos.org 
En

by Divya Kumar, Waqas Hameed, Bilal Iqbal Avan

Background

Most empirically researched interventions for postpartum depression (PPD) tend to target mothers’ depression alone. Harmful effects of PPD on physical and mental health of both mother and child has led researchers to investigate the impact of interventions on PPD and child outcomes together. So far, the evidence is limited regarding how these interventions compare with those focusing only on mothers’ depression. This review compares... Читать дальше...

Dexamethasone induces sleep disturbance in a dose-dependent manner in mice

En

by Tomonobu Kato, Gento Okawa, Kenji F. Tanaka, Yasue Mitsukura

Synthetic corticosteroids, the most well-known anti-inflammatory drugs globally, are effective against inflammatory diseases despite their adverse effects that decrease a patient’s quality of life (QOL). One of these effects is sleep disturbance, which causes other health issues and further diminishes the QOL. However, the acute effects of steroid drugs on sleep-wake issues are not fully understood and must be clarified in detail using experimental animals. Читать дальше...

Shedding light on the dark genome: Insights into the genetic, CRISPR-based, and pharmacological dependencies of human cancers and disease aggressiveness

by Doris Kafita, Panji Nkhoma, Kevin Dzobo, Musalula Sinkala

Investigating the human genome is vital for identifying risk factors and devising effective therapies to combat genetic disorders and cancer. Despite the extensive knowledge of the "light genome”, the poorly understood "dark genome" remains understudied. In this study, we integrated data from 20,412 protein-coding genes in Pharos and 8,395 patient-derived tumours from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) to examine the genetic and pharmacological...
