Beliefs and perception about mental health issues: a meta-synthesis by Choudhry FR, Mani V, Ming LC, Khan TM

“…Mental health issues are increasing and are alarming in almost every part of the world, and hence compiling this review provides an opportunity to understand the different views regarding mental disorders and problems as well as to fill the gap in the published literature by focusing only on the belief system and perception of mental health problems among general population.Method: The methodology involved a systematic review and the meta-synthesis method, which includes synthesizing published qualitative studies on mental health perception and beliefs.Sample: Fifteen relevant published qualitative and mixed-method studies, regarding the concept of mental health, were identified for meta-synthesis.Analysis: All the themes of the selected studies were further analyzed to give a broader picture of mental health problems and their perceived causes and management. …”

Non-specific TVLA method based on two-sample KS test by Zhen ZHENG, Yingjian YAN, Juesong CAI, Yanjiang LIU

“…Test vector leakage assessment (TVLA) is prone to “false negative” when the power consumption sample size is small.To address this issue, it was found that for non-specific TVLA, when the power consumption sample size changes, the test statistic t-values obtained at the leakage sampling points in the power trace vary accordingly, while the t-values at the non-leakage sampling points do not significantly vary.Therefore, when there is leakage, the distributions of the t-values obtained under different sample sizes will be different.Based on this, it was proposed to implement non-specific TVLA under different sample sizes and perform two-sample KS test on the obtained t-value sequences to evaluate whether there was leakage.Verifications were carried out based on unprotected-aligned simulation power consumption, protected-aligned power consumption dataset DPA Contest v4_2 and protected-non-aligned self-collected power consumption respectively.The results showed that the sample size required by the proposed method on the aligned simulation power consumption and DPA Contest v4_2 was reduced by at most 46.1% and 39.0% respectively.And after the alignment, the required sample size of the proposed method on the self-collected power consumption is also smaller than that of other schemes, with a maximum reduction of 29.4%.Therefore, the proposed method can effectively reduce the probability of “false negative” when the power consumption sample size is small.…”
