Acceptability of the R21/Matrix-M malaria vaccine alongside existing malaria interventions in the trial context by Jayne Webster, Brian Greenwood, Daniel Chandramohan, Alassane Dicko, Issaka Sagara, Djibrilla Issiaka, Adrian VS Hill, Halimatou Diawara, Fatoumata Koita, Seydou Traoré, Jane Grant, Mehreen Datoo, Mala Sylla, Abdrahmane Boncane Dicko

“…A total of 33 in-depth interviews (IDIs), 12 focus group discussions (FGDs) and 45 exit interviews at the trial clinics were conducted with caregivers of trial participants, 18 IDIs and 8 FGDs were conducted with community members, 13 IDIs with community health workers and 8 IDIs with trial field staff. Data were coded using the constructs from Sekhon’s theoretical framework on acceptability.Results Acceptability of the R21/Matrix-M vaccine was driven mainly by the high burden of malaria in the highly seasonal study area and consequent demand for a malaria vaccine, a perceived high efficacy of the R21/Matrix-M vaccine, and a high level of trust and confidence in the trial and trial team. …”

A lightweight transformer based multi task learning model with dynamic weight allocation for improved vulnerability prediction by Lan Liu, Zhanfa Hui, Guiming Chen, Tingfeng Cai, Chiyu Zhou

“…To address this, we propose the MTLPT: Multi-Task Learning with Position Encoding and Lightweight Transformer for Vulnerability Prediction, a novel multi-task learning framework that leverages custom lightweight Transformer blocks and position encoding layers to effectively capture long-range dependencies and complex patterns in source code. The MTLPT model improves sensitivity to rare vulnerabilities and incorporates a dynamic weight loss function to adjust for imbalanced data. …”
