    Abstract Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a common micronutrient deficiency worldwide in infants. Iron deficiency anemia, during infancy, can have long-lasting detrimental effects on the immune and neural systems; the damage is irreversible. This study aimed to build a prediction model to predict the potential risk of IDA among infants. To collect relevant information for model building, we recruited 528 infants from Fenglin Community Health Service Center in Shanghai, China, and collected the information of infants and their parents by using a structured questionnaire. We also got the blood routine examination results of the infants. Then, we used a multilayer perceptron model (MLP) of the neural network model in IBM SPSS Modeler 18.0 to construct the prediction model. Of the 528 included infants, 80 (15.2%) of them had lower hemoglobin values (<110 g/L) and were finally diagnosed with IDA. Based on the accuracy of different models, the model with the highest accuracy rate (97.3%) was chosen, and all the preselected 26 variables were included in the model. After the modeling, the results indicated that the number of months of exclusive breastfeeding was the most important predictive variable, followed by the mother having anemia during pregnancy, and then the number of months of feeding the infant with iron-fortified rice flour. The model has good sensitivity (100%) and specificity (100%). By using this model, we can predict the potential risk of an infant having IDA and can take the initiative to prevent iron deficiency through the improvement of feeding methods.

    Abstract The Integrated Bio-Behavioural Surveillance Survey of 2022-2023 among key populations report from Zanzibar has been released. The prevalence of HIV is estimated to be 21.1%, 11.4%, and 9.3% among Female Sex Workers, Men who have Sex with Men, and People Who Injected Drugs, respectively. This has prompted a closer examination of the factors contributing to this trend, with a particular focus on the low coverage of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis in these key populations. The current prevalence reported in December 2023 signals a critical turning point that necessitates a reevaluation of the barriers and facilitators of Pre Exposure Prophylaxis intervention to combat the epidemic. It is imperative to acknowledge the severity of the situation and take decisive action to prevent further spread of the virus in the Isles.

    Abstract Existing secure multiparty computation protocol from secret sharing is usually under this assumption of the fast network, which limits the practicality of the scheme on the low bandwidth and high latency network. A proven method is to reduce the communication rounds of the protocol as much as possible or construct a constant-round protocol. In this work, we provide a series of constant-round secure protocols for quantized neural network (QNN) inference. This is given by masked secret sharing (MSS) in the three-party honest-majority setting. Our experiment shows that our protocol is practical and suitable for low-bandwidth and high-latency networks. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first one where the QNN inference based on masked secret sharing is implemented.
