Analysis of the Reduction in the Duration of Sick Leave for 32,512 Psoriasis Patients Following the Integration of Targeted Therapies for Psoriatic Disease into the Brazilian Healt... by D'Almeida LFV, Duarte GV, Godinho MP, Cariello LH, Sousa GJB, Gomes CM

“…The availability of these therapies was associated with earlier cessation of sick leave in our proportional hazards model (targeted therapies for PsA: hazard ratio (HR) = 1.90, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.82– 2.00; targeted therapies for psoriasis: HR = 1.63, 95% CI = 1.54– 1.70).Conclusion: This study highlights a remarkable reduction in costs and sick leave duration due to the implementation of therapies for psoriatic disease by the Brazilian Unified Health System, which underscores the importance of considering detailed indirect cost data when evaluating new health technologies for large populations.Plain Language Summary: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting more than 60 million people worldwide. …”

An improved combined method of creating control forces and moments for an unmanned aerialvehicle by A. V. Lopuhov

“…improved combined (aerodynamic and gas-dynamic) method of creating control forces and moments.The objectives of the study are to analyze the basic model of the combined control method and the possibility of using an improved model of the combined control method, at which the invariability of the mass and dimensional characteristics of the upgraded control object will be achieved with a simultaneous increase in the target quality (reduction of the final miss).Research is based on the use of an improved method for creating control forces and moments, where the optimization of mass characteristics is made, for using of a smaller number of micropulse motors (only at the stages of acceleration and braking), and when setting the balancing position (maintaining a steady angle of attack), instead of impulse engines, a steering drive is used standard onboard stabilization system of an unmanned aerial vehicle aerodynamic control channel. …”

Extent and control standards of grouting reinforcement for underwater karst shield tunnels by Peng Xu, Xiangshuai Song, Lei Cao, Heng Sun

“…The total potential energy of the rock mass between the karst and tunnel is calculated, leading to the development of an instability and catastrophe model for the surrounding rocks. The proposed grouting reinforcement control standards are mainly dependent on factors such as the distance of the karst, characteristics of the reinforced surrounding rocks, shield machine support force, material properties post-reinforcement, and karst size.…”
