Ethnic variation in the prevalence of depression and anxiety in primary care: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
No full textPrimary care plays a key role in the detection and management of depression and anxiety. At present it is not clear if the prevalence of depression and anxiety in primary care differs between migrants and ethnic minorities (MI) and natives and ethnic majorities (MA). A systematic review and a meta-analysis of studies comparing the prevalence of depression and anxiety in MI and MA in primary care were performed. Studies were identified by searching MEDLINE, PsychINFO, EMBASE and through hand-search. We included 25 studies, most of which had a relatively small sample size. Significant variations were found in the prevalence of anxiety and depression across studies. Pooled analyses were carried out for 23 studies, based on random-effects models. Pooled RR of depression and anxiety in MI were 1.21 (95% CI 1.04-1.40, p=0.012) and 1.01 (95% CI 0.76-1.32, p=0.971), with high heterogeneity (I2=87.2% and I2=73%). Differences in prevalence rates among studies can be accounted for by inclusion criteria, sampling methods, diagnostic instruments and study design. Further research on larger samples and with culturally adapted instruments is needed to estimate the prevalence of depression and anxiety in MI seeking help for these disorders

No full textSqueezing Water from a Stone: {A} Bag of Tricks for Further Improving Cross-Encoder Effectiveness for Reranking
No full textWhile much recent work has demonstrated that hard negative mining can be used to train better bi-encoder models, few have considered it in the context of cross-encoders, which are key ingredients in modern retrieval pipelines due to their high effectiveness. One noteworthy exception comes from Gao et al. [13], who propose to train cross-encoders by adapting the well-known NCE loss and augmenting it with a “localized” selection of hard negative examples from the first-stage retriever, which they call the Localized Contrastive Estimation (LCE) loss. In this work, we present a replication study of LCE on a different task and combine it with several other “tricks” (e.g., replacing BERTBase with ELECTRABase and replacing BM25 with TCT-ColBERTv2) to substantially improve ranking effectiveness. We attempt to more systematically explore certain parts of the hyperparameter space, including the choice of losses and the group size in the LCE loss. While our findings, for the most part, align with those from the original paper, we observe that for MS MARCO passage, orienting the retriever used for hard negative mining with the first-stage retriever used for inference is not as critical for improving effectiveness across all settings.

Water quality assessment: A quali-quantitative method for evaluation of environmental pressures potentially impacting on groundwater, developed under the M.I.N.O.Re. project
No full textBackground: At global level, the vulnerability of aquifers is deteriorating at an alarming rate due to environmental pollution and intensive human activities. In this context, Local Health Authority ASL Lecce has launched the M.I.N.O.Re. (Not Compulsory Water Monitoring Activities at Regional level) project, in order to assess the vulnerability of the aquifer in Salento area (Puglia Region) by performing several non-compulsory analyses on groundwater samples. This first paper describes the quali-quantitative approach adopted under the M.I.N.O.Re. project for the assessment of environmental pressures suffered by groundwater and determines the number of wells to be monitored in specific sampling areas on the basis of the local potential contamination and vulnerability of the aquifer. Methods: We created a map of the entire Lecce province, interpolating it with a grid that led to the subdivision of the study area in 32 quadrangular blocks measuring 10 km × 10 km. Based on current hydrogeological knowledge and institutional data, we used GIS techniques to represent on these 32 blocks the 12 different layers corresponding to the main anthropic or environmental type of pressures potentially impacting on the aquifer. To each kind of pressure, a score from 0 to 1 was attributed on the basis of the potential impact on groundwater. A total score was assigned to each of the 32 blocks. A higher number of wells was selected to be monitored in those blocks presenting higher risk scores for possible groundwater contamination due to anthropic/environmental pressures. Results: The range of total scores varied from 2.4 to 42.5. On the basis of total scores, the 10 km × 10 km blocks were divided into four classes of environmental pressure (1st class: from 0,1 to 10,00; 2nd class: from 10,01 to 20,00; 3rd class: from 20,1 to 30,00; 4th class: from 30,01 to 42,50). There were 11 areas in the 1st class, 9 areas in the 2nd class, 8 areas in the 3rd class and 4 areas in the 4th class. We assigned 1 monitoring well in 1st class areas, 2 monitoring wells in 2nd class areas, 3 monitoring wells in 3rd class areas and 4 monitoring wells in 4th class areas. Conclusion: The methodology developed under the M.I.N.O.Re. project could represent a useful model to be used in other areas to assess the environmental pressures suffered by aquifers and the quality of the groundwater

Academic ex-votos from the miracle room of the Senhor of Bomfim in Salvador, Bahia: from documentation to folkcommunication
No full textThe research focuses on the analysis of the academic ex-votos “desobrigados” in the Room of Miracle of the Basilica of Our Lord of Bomfim, located in the capital of Bahia, with a time frame of 2021/2022/2023/2024 quadrennium, being the sampling worked, after field collection, by photography, aimed at the photographic category of the hybrid and uniform formats, both consisting of official documents, issued by higher education institutions, and also authorship of the devotees graced by the miracle, in this case with communications through graduation invitation cards. After the researcher’s trajectory had been traced and his choice of the object of study had been justified, procedures were adopted to the phenomenological method, which in this study analyzes the communicative dynamics of the Room of Miracle of the Basilica of Our Lord of Bomfim, Bahia, by observing the ex-votos that have their origin in the academic communicative system, which are influential in the expographic systematization that already borders on the museographic format. The approach to data analysis consists of a qualitative nature, as it proceeds with descriptions of the format and informative content of the medium communicators, including information sheets and inventory, as well as observations on the stages of transformation of the expographic device of the Room of Miracle of Bomfim. For this, the religious context of popular Catholicism is considered, but it also involves the university sphere, seeking to relate the communicative elements and their changes in the respective systems, folk and academic. So the investigation takes place in the surroundings of the objects “desobrigados” in the Room of Miracle of Bomfim, which testify to miracles about the victories of the blessed within the academy, that way the sampling was collected by photographic records, with data noted on cards, to the model of Appendix A, complemented by information about the ritual of “desobriga” and observations of the expography, all inserted in the files of Appendix B. The data on the pieces and the informative content conveyed were treated and classified, generating alphanumeric codes of the Decimal Museal Classification, adapted from a librarianship technique and which is contiguous to Museology. The theoretical basis had the selection of bibliographies in tune with the theme discussed here, in an attempt to establish connections between the communicative phenomenon of the Room of Miracle of Bomfim, through its expography, with the evolution of the Cabinets of Curiosities for Museums, therefore covering literature focused on: communicative systems, folkcommunication, museology and museological exhibition, power relations in museological spaces, ex-votos and the “desobriga” as a religious practice, the culture of the marginalized and the cabinets of curiosities. The proposal to use the information sheets, Table 1 and Table 2, being editions of the document that records the musealized pieces, with the original model in Annex A, allows the organization and custody of information that identifies the ex-votos, given their ephemerality in transit through this space, making it possible to follow the expographic transformations, establishing control by cataloguing and classification, in this case, observing the categorizations and typologies already disseminated by consolidated authors, for its subsequent inventory. So the general objective is to understand the expographic dynamics of the Room of Miracle of Bomfim based on the pieces “desobrigadas”, focusing on academic ex-votos, due to their confluence with communication. Finally, aware that the “desobrigadas” pieces reflect the expressions of communicated realities, unrelated to the appropriate channels by the mass media, their relevance as an inclusive alternative is justified, from the exhibition perspective and which is prevalent in popularly consecrated places.A pesquisa enfoca a análise dos ex-votos acadêmicos desobrigados na Sala de Milagres da Basílica do Senhor do Bomfim, localizada na capital baiana, com recorte temporal ao quadriênio 2021/2022/2023/2024, sendo a amostragem trabalhada, após coleta em campo, por fotografação, voltada à categoria fotográfica dos formatos híbrido e uniforme, ambos constituídos por documentos oficiais, emitidos por instituições de ensino superior, e também autorais aos devotos agraciados pelo milagre, neste caso com comunicações pelos cartões-convites de formatura. Após traçada a trajetória do pesquisador e justificada a sua opção de escolha pelo objeto de estudo, foram adotados procedimentos ao método fenomenológico, que neste estudo analisa a dinâmica comunicativa da Sala de Milagres da Basílica do Nosso Senhor do Bomfim, Bahia, pela observância aos ex-votos que têm origem no sistema comunicativo acadêmico, sendo tais influentes na sistematização expográfica que já beira o formato museográfico. Já a abordagem para a análise dos dados, se constitui por natureza qualitativa, por proceder com descrições quanto ao formato e conteúdo informativo dos medium comunicadores, inclusive por fichas informativas e inventariação, bem como das observações sobre os estágios de transformação do dispositivo expográfico da Sala de Milagres do Bomfim. Para isso é ponderado o contexto religioso do catolicismo popular, mas que também envolve a esfera universitária, buscando relacionar os elementos comunicativos e suas mudanças nos respectivos sistemas, folk e acadêmico. Então a investigação se dá no entorno dos objetos desobrigados na Sala de Milagres do Bomfim, e que testemunham milagres voltados às vitórias dos(as) agraciados(as) dentro da academia, de forma que a amostragem foi coletada por registros fotográficos, com dados anotados em fichas, ao modelo do Apêndice A, complementados por informações sobre o ritual da desobriga e observações da expografia, todas inseridas nas fichas do Apêndice B. Os dados sobre as peças e o conteúdo informativo veiculado foram tratados e classificados, gerando códigos alfanuméricos da Classificação Decimal Museal, adaptada duma técnica biblioteconômica e que é contígua à Museologia. O embasamento teórico teve a seleção de bibliografias afinadas à temática aqui tratada, na tentativa de estabelecer conexões entre o fenômeno comunicativo da Sala de Milagres do Bomfim, por sua expografia, com a evolução dos Gabinetes de Curiosidades aos Museus, portanto abarcando literaturas voltadas a: sistemas comunicativos, folkcomunicação, museologia e exposição museológica, relações de poder nos espaços museológicos, ex-votos e a desobriga como prática religiosa, a cultura dos marginalizados e os gabinetes de curiosidades. A propositura ao uso das fichas informativas, Quadro 1 e Quadro 2, sendo edições do documento que faz registro das peças musealizada, com modelo original no Anexo A, permite organizar e custodiar informações que identificam os ex-votos, dada a sua efemeridade no trânsito por este espaço, possibilitando acompanhar as transformações expográficas, estabelecendo controle por catalogação e classificação, neste caso, observadas as categorizações e tipologias já difundias por autores consolidados, para a sua seguinte inventariação. Então o objetivo geral está em compreender a dinâmica expográfica da Sala de Milagres do Bomfim a partir das peças desobrigadas, foco aos ex-votos acadêmicos, por sua confluência à comunicação. Por fim, cônscios de que as peças desobrigadas refletem as expressões de realidades comunicadas, alheias aos canais apropriados pelo mass media, é justificada a sua relevância como alternativa inclusiva, na perspectiva expositiva e que é prevalente nos locais popularmente consagrados
