Estimating the proportion of modern contraceptives supplied by the public and private sectors using a Bayesian hierarchical penalized spline model [PDF]
Quantifying the public/private sector supply of contraceptive methods within countries is vital for effective and sustainable family planning (FP) delivery. In many low and middle-income countries (LMIC), measuring the contraceptive supply source often relies on Demographic Health Surveys (DHS).

Hormonal Male Contraception: Getting to Market
Rates of unplanned pregnancies are high and stagnant globally, burdening women, families and the environment. Local limitations placed upon contraceptive access and abortion services exacerbate global disparities for women. Despite survey data suggesting

Utilizing a Mathematical Model to Estimate Abortion Decline Scenario [PDF]
Abortion is one of the biggest causes of maternal deaths, accounting for 15% of maternal deaths in Southeast Asia. The increase in and effectiveness of using contraception are still considered to be the effective method to reduce abortion rate. Data pertaining to abortion incidence and effective efforts to reduce abortion rate in Indonesia is limited ...

In the blood–testis barrier, occludin is crucial for tight junctions. This study demonstrates that occludin‐targeting short peptides disrupt junction integrity, inducing immune cell infiltration, tumor necrosis factor‐α/interleukin‐6 secretion and mitochondrial dysfunction, ultimately triggering apoptosis.

Generate Descriptive Social Networks for Large Populations from Available Observations: A Novel Methodology and a Generator [PDF]
When modeling a social dynamics with an agent-oriented approach, researchers have to describe the structure of interactions within the population. Given the intractability of extensive network collecting, they rely on random network generators that are supposed to explore the space of plausible networks.

The large sample coverage probability of confidence intervals in general regression models after a preliminary hypothesis test [PDF]
We derive a computationally convenient formula for the large sample coverage probability of a confidence interval for a scalar parameter of interest following a preliminary hypothesis test that a specified vector parameter takes a given value in a general regression model.
