Voices from the Margins: Barriers and Facilitators to HPV Self-Sampling Among Structurally Marginalized People with a Cervix in the Greater Toronto Area and Ontario by Mandana Vahabi, Natasha Kithulegoda, Masoomeh Moosapoor, Aisha Lofters, Josephine Pui-Hing Wong, Abdolreza Akbarian, Jenna Hynes

“…Sex workers and formerly incarcerated people with a cervix face significant structural, interpersonal, and emotional barriers to cervical cancer screening, despite being at elevated risk for HPV infection. HPV self-sampling (HPV-SS) is a validated, user-directed method that has the potential to address these barriers, yet it remains excluded from Ontario’s organized screening program. …”

Do upper third molars provide more accurate age estimation in the adult based on the pulp-to-tooth ratio than lower third molars? A cone-beam CT study by Salah A. Al-Omoush, Abeer Alhadidi, Awni Al-Kayed, Hamza Saoud, Firas Alsoleihat

“…Aim: This study aims at using the mesio-distal (MD) pulp-to-tooth ratio taken at the cervix of upper third molars (UM3) to estimate age at the time of radiographic imaging. Materials and Methods: A set of 135 Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) radiographs of UM3s for a random sample of 135 Jordanian adults (65 females, 70 males; age range = 18–63 years, mean age = 34.4 years, SD = 11.2 years) were used. …”

Applying a diffusion of innovations framework to characterise diffusion groups and more effectively reach late adopters: a cross-sectional study on COVID-19 vaccinations in Canada... by Tyler Williamson, Jia Hu, Kate Zinszer, Reed Beall, Brian Steele, Ally Memedovich, Aidan Hollis, Taylor Orr, Charleen Salmon

“…A multinomial logistic regression model assessed the likelihood of participants being associated with each diffusion category (with the significance level set at p&lt;0.05).Results The final sample included 2131 respondents. Late adopters were significantly more likely to identify as non-white, live in rural locations and receive vaccinations at pharmacies. …”

METHOD FOR MEASURING ENERGY IN HEAT SUPPLY SOURCES by V. A. Bulanin

“…This study was aimed at determining the actual flow rate of a gaseous working fluid by the pressure drop in the constriction device with its changing parameters (speed, pressure, temperature, gas composition).Method. Since the pycnometric method provides high accuracy in determining the density and is simpler than the calorimetric method for determining the calorific value, the value of the latter can be checked using the dependence proposed in the article. …”
