Can open-defecation free (ODF) communities be sustained? A cross-sectional study in rural Ghana. by Caroline Delaire, Joyce Kisiangani, Kara Stuart, Prince Antwi-Agyei, Ranjiv Khush, Rachel Peletz

“…Multivariate regression analysis indicated that communities had higher toilet coverage when they were located further from major roads, were not located on rocky soil, reported having a system of fines to punish open defecation, and when less time had elapsed since ODF status achievement. Households were more likely to own a functional toilet if they were larger, wealthier, had a male household head who had not completed primary education, had no children under the age of five, and benefitted from the national Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) program. …”

BGATT-GR: accurate identification of glucocorticoid receptor antagonists based on data augmentation combined with BiGRU-attention by Watshara Shoombuatong, Pakpoom Mookdarsanit, Nalini Schaduangrat, Lawankorn Mookdarsanit

“…Therefore, this study proposes an innovative deep learning-based hybrid framework (termed BGATT-GR) that leverages a data augmentation method, a bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU), and a self-attention mechanism (ATT) to attain more accurate identification of GR antagonists. In BGATT-GR, we first employed AP2D, CDKExt, KR, Morgan, and RDKIT to extract molecular descriptors of GR antagonists and combined these molecular descriptors to generate multi-view features. …”
