Sociodemographic characteristics and health status of women with breast cancer and COVID 19 diagnosis by menopausal status a cross sectional study by Mohammadhossein Hajiebrahimi, Hussam Shihan, Ola Bratt, Huiqi Li, Fredrik Nyberg, Björn Wettermark

“…Varied socioeconomical and clinical conditions were more frequent among patients with a positive COVID-19 test compared to patients without a positive test among women with BC in pre- or post-menopausal status. We conclude that some characteristics of women such as unemployment, country of birth or health status measured by number of prescribed drugs were more prevalent among women who developed COVID-19 compared to women without COVID-19 diagnosis and either of menopausal status of breast cancer.…”

A Global-Scale Overlapping Pixels Calculation Method for Whisk-Broom Payloads with Multi-Module-Staggered Longlinear-Array Detectors by Xinwang Du, Chao Wu, Quan Liang, Lixing Zhao, Yixuan Xu, Junhong Guo, Xiaoyan Li, Fansheng Chen

“…However, because of the complexity of the instantaneous relative motion model (IRMM) of the whisk-broom imaging mechanism, it is really difficult to determine and verify the actual numbers of overlapping pixels of adjacent detector sub-module images and consecutive images in the same and opposite scanning directions, which are exceedingly crucial to the instrument design pre-launch as well as the in-orbit geometric quantitative processing and application post-launch. Therefore, in this paper, aiming at addressing the problems above, we propose a global-scale overlapping pixels calculation method based on the IRMM and rigorous geometric positioning model (RGPM) of the whisk-broom payloads with an MMS LLA detector. …”
