Double machine learning and design in batch adaptive experiments by Li Harrison H., Owen Art B.

“…By extending the framework of double machine learning, we show this rate suffices for our pooled estimator to attain the targeted precision after each batch, as long as nuisance function estimates converge at rate op(N−1⁄4){o}_{p}\left({N}^{-1/4}). …”

Influence of Thyroid Hormones on the Body’s Adaptive Capabilities (Review) by Yuliya A. Shatyr, Galina A. Sroslova, Ruslan I. Glushakov

“…There is data confirming the central role of thyroid hormones in the formation of exploratory behaviour and adaptive response. A more extensive investigation is required into the correlation between changes in the level of thyroid hormones and adaptive immune responses, as well as into the effect of thyroid hormones on the function of individual immune cells. …”

The cultural adaptation of the Friendship Bench Intervention to address perinatal psychological distress in Sierra Leone: an application of the ADAPT-ITT framework and the Ecologic... by Abdulai Jawo Bah, Abdulai Jawo Bah, Haja Ramatulai Wurie, Mohamed Samai, Rebecca Horn, Alastair Ager

“…Culturally relevant idioms, such as “poil at” and “mind not steady,” replace previous terms, and new screening tools, the Sierra Leone Perinatal Psychological Distress Scale (SLPPDS) and the Function Scale, have been introduced. The problem-solving therapy was simplified from seven to four steps, and training duration was reduced from nine days to two, using visual aids to enhance comprehension for those with low literacy levels.ConclusionThrough this systematic approach, we successfully culturally adapted the FBI for treating perinatal psychological distress in Sierra Leone. …”
