Systematic review of educational interventions to improve the menstrual health of young adolescent girls by Frances Griffiths, Bronwyn Harris, Chinwe Onuegbu, Rebecca Lane Evans

“…A meta-analysis was conducted on a subset of articles, and the effect size of the intervention was calculated using Cohen’s d. A logic model was constructed to frame the effect of menstrual education interventions on menstrual health.Setting Papers reporting on interventions in high-income and low-income and middle-income countries were sought.Information sources Seven electronic databases were searched for English-language entries that were published between January 2014 and May 2020.Participants The interventions were aimed at younger adolescent girls aged 10–14 years old.Interventions The interventions were designed to improve the menstrual health of the recipients, by addressing one or more elements of menstrual knowledge, attitude or practices (KAP).Eligibility criteria Interventions that had not been evaluated were excluded.Primary and secondary outcomes The most common type of output was a difference in knowledge or skill score ascertained from a pre and post test. …”

Methods of security situation prediction for industrial internet fused attention mechanism and BSRU by Xiangdong HU, Zhengguo TIAN

“…The security situation prediction plays an important role in balanced and reliable work for industrial internet.In the face of massive, high-dimensional and time-series data generated in the industrial production process, traditional prediction models are difficult to accurately and efficiently predict the network security situation.Therefore, the methods of security situation prediction for industrial internet fused attention mechanism and bi-directional simple recurrent unit (BSRU) were proposed to meet the real-time and accuracy requirements of industrial production.Each security element was analyzed and processed, so that it could reflect the current network state and facilitate the calculation of the situation value.One-dimensional convolutional network was used to extract the spatial dimension features between each security element and preserve the temporal correlation between features.The BSRU network was used to extract the time dimension features between the data information and reduced the loss of historical information.Meanwhile, with the powerful parallel capability of SRU network, the training time of model was reduced.Attention mechanism was introduced to optimize the correlation weight of BSRU hidden state to highlight strong correlation factors, reduced the influence of weak correlation factors, and realized the prediction of industrial internet security situation combining attention mechanism and BSRU.The comparative experimental results show that the model reduces the training time and training error by 13.1% and 28.5% than the model using bidirectional long short-term memory network and bidirectional gated recurrent unit.Compared with the convolutional and BSRU network fusion model without attention mechanism, the prediction error is reduced by 28.8% despite the training time increased by 2%.The prediction effect under different prediction time is better than other models.Compared with other prediction network models, this model achieves the optimization of time performance and uses the attention mechanism to improve the prediction accuracy of the model under the premise of increasing a small amount of time cost.The proposed model can well fit the trend of network security situation, meanwhile, it has some advantages in multistep prediction.…”
