Use of Mid Upper-Arm Circumference (MUAC) as screening tool in an urban township in the Eastern Cape: rationale for testing changed cut-off values to identify malnutrition by McLaren, Shawn, Steenkamp, Liana, Venter, Danie

“…The least squares regression formula (Y = 15.409 + 0.803x (males); Y = 15.13 + 0.83x (females)) was then used to predict where WHZ = -2 is most likely to correspond with a MUAC value in cm. The new predicted MUAC values of 13.8 cm (males) and 13.5 cm (females) were subsequently tested for sensitivity and specificity. …”

Xunzi's concern for yu (desire) and ritual approaches for its moral transformation by Zhou,Yalin

“…One’s pleasure-based liking is not merely painted by joy but a configuration of the more variable affective experiences, including the feeling of an 安 (security; at ease) and the feeling of comfort in fortunes and anxiety in misfortunes, and involves the higher and lower pleasures; and the potent force of wanting is normatively grounded in the general goal of living a truly happy life. …”

Prevalence of West Nile virus in domesticated mammals (cattle, goat, horse and pig) in selected areas of Peninsular Malaysia by Mohammed, Mohammed Nma

“…Among the species, pigs were more likely to be WNV seropositive. In the cattle, location of sample collection was associated with WNV seropositivity, whereas in the goat, age was associated with WNV seropositivity. …”

Advanced attack and defense techniques in machine learning systems by Zhao, Mengchen

“…Based on the observation of the transferability, we develop a defense algorithm to identify the data points that are most likely to be attacked. Empirical studies show that PGA significantly outperforms existing baselines and linear learning models are better substitute models than nonlinear ones. …”

#Hooked? Extending the social cognitive model in examining the antecedents of problematic social network sites use among Singaporean adolescents and adults by Lee, Edmund Wei Jian

“…Most notably, a nuanced difference in how paternal and maternal relationships were associated with adolescents’ problematic SNSs was found—adolescents who had poor relationships with their fathers were more likely to depend on SNSs for identity formation—which had the strongest association with deficient self-regulation. …”

Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) for idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) by Tudor, Katarina Ivana, Tudor, Mario, McCleery, Jenny, Car, Josip

“…Of the 26 patients in the VP shunting group, 5 developed subdural hematoma postoperatively, while there were no complications among the 16 patients in the ETV group (OR 0.12, 95% CI 0.01 to 2.3, n = 42), but the estimate was too imprecise to determine whether this was likely to reflect a true difference in complication rates. …”

Prioritising conservation areas in Southeast Asia: highlighting zoological biodiversity hotspots and assessing spatiotemporal patterns of the felids guild by Chiaverini, L

“…I highlighted that the most suitable habitats for this group of species showed often pronounced differences with the hotspots for terrestrial vertebrate biodiversity modelled in the first two chapters of this thesis, likely due to the fact that small felids are more specialised than the pool of species used to model biodiversity hotspots, and they require larger and more intact habitats. …”
