Behavioural models of migration emphasize the importance of migration decision-making for the explanation of subsequent behaviour. But empirical migration research regularly finds considerable gaps between those who intend to migrate and those who actually realize their intention. This paper applies the Theory of Planned Behaviour, enriched by the Rubicon model, to test specific hypotheses about distinct effects of facilitators and constraints on specific stages of migration decision-making and behaviour. The data come from a tailor-made panel survey based on random samples of people drawn from two German cities in 2006-07. The results show that in conventional models the effects of facilitators and constraints on migration decision-making are likely to be underestimated. Splitting the process of migration decision-making into a pre-decisional and a pre-actional phase helps to avoid bias in the estimated effects of facilitators and constraints on both migration decision-making and migration behaviour.

Experiences of African women who migrate to a developed country and encounter intimate partner violence: a systematic review of qualitative evidence.
JBI Evid Synth

Objective: The objective of this review was to synthesize the available evidence on the experiences of African women who migrated to a developed country and encountered intimate partner violence (IPV).
Introduction: IPV is a significant public health issue, and migrant women living in developed countries are particularly vulnerable to IPV, experiencing disproportionately higher rates of IPV. Understanding the experiences of these women can inform health policy and decision-making in clinical practice to minimize IPV.

Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer globally, and has recently become the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women. BC is a heterogeneous disease comprising various histopathological and molecular subtypes with differing levels of malignancy, and each patient has an individual prognosis. Etiology and pathogenesis are complex and involve a considerable number of genetic alterations and dozens of alterations in non-coding RNA expression.

Immune cells are pivotal components in the tumor microenvironment (TME), which can interact with tumor cells and significantly influence cancer progression and therapeutic outcomes. Therefore, classifying cancer patients based on the status of immune cells within the TME is increasingly recognized as an effective approach to identify prognostic biomarkers, paving the way for more effective and personalized cancer treatments. Considering the high incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer (CRC), in this study, an integrated machine learning survival framework incorporating 93 different algorithmic combinations was utilized to determine the optimal strategy for developing an immune-related prognostic signature (IRPS) based on the average C-index across the four CRC cohorts.
