Older adults’ mental health information preferences: a call for more balanced information to empower older adults’ mental health help-seeking

Abstract A small minority of older adults seek psychological help when they need it. Barriers to mental health service use among older adults include low mental health literacy and reduced opportunities for shared decision-making in health care. There is a gap in the literature examining the mental health information preferences of older adults. The objectives of this study were to describe the information preferences and predictors of preferences among older adults. In total, 229 adults aged 50 years and older in central Canada responded to a questionnaire investigating socio-demographic, psycho-social and health-related characteristics, as well as mental health information preferences. Descriptive analysis quantified participants’ ratings of information preferences and hierarchical linear regression analysis determined predictors of their preferences. Older adults rated all mental health content items as very important. Most participants preferred detailed information (two to six pages) on all treatment options (psychological, pharmacological, combined and self-help). Older adults significantly preferred discussion with a heath-care provider and written information, in comparison to other formats. Older adults also significantly preferred to consult family, friends and heath-care professionals over other sources. Socio-demographic and psycho-social characteristics accounted for some of the variance in predicting older adults’ information preferences. Findings highlight older adults’ desire to be involved in decisions concerning mental health supports. Providing balanced information concerning mental health treatment may increase empowerment in mental health help-seeking.

Implications for practice, research, and policy focus on interventions aimed at increasing persistence and fostering STEM career decision-making.
A Comparative Study of Spin Magnetic Moment, Spin Polarization and Curie Temperature of Heusler type Compounds (A2-X-YZy)Mnz (A = Ni, Pd, Pt And Z = Sb, Sn)

The Heusler type compounds (A2-x-yZy)MnZ (A = Ni, Pd, Pt; Z = Sb, Sn; x = 1, 0; and y = 0, antisite defects of Z atoms) are investigated to understand the induced magnetic properties. The structural phases C1b type half Heusler (x = 1, y = 0) compounds AMnZ and the corresponding L21 type full Heusler (x = y = 0) compounds A2MnZ and some disordered compounds (A1-yZy)MnZ and (A2-yZy)MnZ (y = 0.01, 0.05) were calculated using the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker Green’s function method. The antisite doping of 1% (5%) Sb retained (suppressed) the half metallicity at (Ni1-ySby)MnSb, whereas the other compounds were found to be gapless in both spin directions. The density of states at the Fermi level exhibits the explicit spin polarization in the compounds. The net magnetic moments of the compounds are closer in their values, wherein the manganese atom is responsible for the major contribution to the magnetic moments, which is much larger than the partial moment of the other constituents. The Curie temperature (TC) of the ordered ferromagnetic compounds was estimated using the mean-field approximation. The TC higher than the room temperature was found for the ordered compounds, except for the cases of Pt2MnSb and Pt2MnSn. No literature value of TC has been reported yet for these two compounds. Calculated spin moments and TC agree well with the experimental results, where available. J. Bangladesh Acad. Sci. 45(2); 217-229: December 2021
Student’s Preferences in the Selection of Online Shopping Goods Delivery Services

(The rise of e-commerce or online shops has made the number of shipping service companies increase. Delivery service companies need to analyze consumer preferences in selecting delivery services when shopping online so that they can continue to compete. This study aims to analyze the attributes or important factors that influence consumers and how much influence these factors have on consumer preferences. The AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) method is used to obtain the important factors and the discrete choice method with the multinomial logit model to analyze the influence of factors on consumer preferences. With the AHP method, three important attributes are obtained including cost with a value of 4.248, insurance with a value of 1.729, and delivery time with a value of 1.471. Judging from the influence on preferences, the cost factor and delivery time have a negative effect, which means that the lower the rate and the faster the time will increase customer satisfaction. While the insurance factor has a positive effect, which means that consumers prefer insurance. The most influential factor is cost with a parameter value of -1.97, then insurance with a parameter value of 1.66, and finally delivery time with a parameter value of -0.564. Based on gender, the results show that women's considerations of the cost attribute are higher than men's considerations. Meanwhile, based on allowance, the higher the allowance, the more important insurance and delivery time are considered.
Comparing the diagnostic accuracy of audiometric Weber test and tuning fork Weber test in patients with conductive hearing loss

Weber test is typically conducted using tuning forks, but an audiometer can also be used for a similar purpose. Compared to the tuning fork Weber (TFW) test, performing the audiometric Weber (AW) test offers many advantages. Nevertheless, AW and TFW tests' performance compared to pure‐tone audiometry (PTA) has yet to be studied. The present study aimed to determine the accuracy and agreement between the AW and TFW tests compared to PTA.
Strategy framing in the international arena: A cross-national comparative content analysis on the China-US trade conflict coverage

Strategy framing is usually studied in the context of news coverage about domestic Western politics. This study expands its application to news reports on the China-US trade war—an inter-state conflict including a democratic and one-party dominant system—thereby adding an international dimension to the study of strategy framing. Through a manual content analysis of news coverage from China, the US, Singapore, and Ireland (from January 2013 to January 2020; n = 1872), we investigate whether media independence, conflict involvement, and crisis phases influence the employment of the issue framing and strategy framing. For democratic countries, the more involved they are in the conflict, the more prominent strategy framing was in their coverage of the trade conflict; the inverse was observed for one-party dominant systems. Strategy framing that considers countries as contenders is more prevalent than the sub-frame that focuses on individual politicians. The presence of national-versus-personal level strategy framing was more balanced for directly involved countries than indirectly involved countries since news from directly involved countries accords relatively more space to politicians’ personal strategy.

A case of hypertensive nephropathy who died of piperacillin- tazobactam induced immune hemolytic anemia which aggravated renal dysfunction: complete follow-up of serology and disease course

Background: Severe drug-induced immune hemolytic anaemia (DIIHA) cases leading to death are very rare. Among the reported cases of DIIHA, the serological characteristics and course of the disease are rarely described completely. Piperacillin is a semi-synthetic penicillin against pseudomonas widely used in the treatment of bacterial infections. It is one of the most common drugs that cause DIIHA. Methods: In this study, a 79-year-old male patient with hypertensive nephropathy who developed severe hemolytic anemia during intravenous piperacillin-tazobactam anti-infective treatment due to lung infection, and worsened renal function. Serological tests included direct antiglobulin test (DAT), acid elution test, irregular red blood cell (RBC) antibody detection, and the drug-dependent antibodies associated with piperacillin or tazobactam were detected by the standard methods for the detection of drug-dependent antibodies both in the presence of soluble drug and with drug-coated RBCs. Fully described the patient's course of disease and the serological changes after stopping the administration of piperacillin-tazobactam.Results: Serological tests showed that the results of DAT for anti-IgG was positive (4+) and anti-C3d was negative. The IgG piperacillin-dependent antibodies (the highest titer reached 128) were detected in the plasma incubated with O-type RBCs and 3 mg/mL piperacillin. But the plasma or the acid eluent incubated with piperacillin-coated RBCs, or the acid eluent incubated with O-type RBCs and 3 mg/mL piperacillin did not detect antibodies. The patient was diagnosed as piperacillin-induced DIIHA. Although blood transfusion and continuous renal replacement therapy were given, the patient still died of multiple organ failure 15 days after the administration of piperacillin-tazobactam was stopped.Conclusions: DIIHA caused by piperacillin exacerbated renal damage and was an important cause of the patient's eventual death from multiple organ failure. Which has helped to deepen the understanding of DIIHA and draw lessons from it.
Points of View of Chilean Adolescents about Asking for Help and Suggestions to Prevent Dating Violence Based on an Ecological Systems Theory

While several programs have been developed to prevent dating violence, few have been evaluated. Likewise, few studies have documented adolescents’ viewpoints on how prevention should be done. The current qualitative study seeks to strategically fill a gap in knowledge regarding the points of view of Chilean adolescents about the strategies that are best suited to prevent this problem and what is relevant content for prevention programs. This paper is part of a broader study on adolescents’ social representations of dating violence. The study’s aim was to explore Chilean adolescents’ points of view about asking for help and their suggestions about how to prevent dating violence. The sample included 48 Chilean adolescents, 26 girls (54.1%) and 22 boys (45.8%) between 14 and 18 years old, recruited from public and private schools, who were interviewed with a focus group method. The study con-sisted of two phases; the results of the second phase are discussed in this ma-nuscript. The results are useful for the development of an appropriate so-cio-political response to this social and public health problem. Participants identified friends and parents as more common sources from whom to seek help than teachers and health professionals. The severity of dating violence and ensuing injuries are the main reasons for asking for help. In addition, gender is considered a central prevention issue in a changing Chilean cultural context. According to the ecological systems theory, prevention strategies based on the environment of adolescents at This article presents the results of a qualitative study on the social representations of DV in Chilean adolescents. The study objective was to explore Chilean adolescents’ points of view about asking for help and their suggestions about how to prevent DV. Using ecological systems theory, the results concerning requests for help and the prevention suggestions provided by the participants will be presented.
Gentrification and Food Retail Instability: A Census Tract Analysis of the Bronx, New York, 2008 and 2017

As food retailers open, close, and change ownership, the resulting instability in local food environments can affect food access and health. Gentrification, and its associated socioeconomic changes, can be a factor in destabilizing food environments. This study examined food retail in lower income, gentrifying, and higher income census tracts in the Bronx, New York, in 2008 and 2017 to analyze the level of instability of retailers over this period. We created an instability index and tested unweighted and weighted variants to examine disruptions in food retail over time, within and across different food retail segments. We argue that, compared to an unweighted version of the index, a weighted index better captures meaningful food environment changes. The results of this weighted index show that although the odds of food retail change varied among segments and census tract types, gentrifying neighborhoods were not particularly vulnerable to food retail changes in the Bronx compared to lower income and higher income neighborhoods. Our weighted instability index can be applied to other contexts and commercial sectors to track the status of retailers over time and across neighborhoods.

First-principles Calculations of the Electronic Structure and Optical Properties of Graphene-like InxAl1-xN Monolayers

This paper employs the Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof (HSE) function to research electronic structures of monolayer InxAl1-xN with different compositions (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1) based on the first-principles, and the optical properties of single-layer InxAl1-xN are calculated by Generalized Gradient Approximation-Perdew Burke Ernzerhof (GGA-PBE) function. The influence of the electronic structure on the properties has been analyzed. Then the influence of doping quantity on the characteristics has been summarized, which also indicates the trend of the complex dielectric function and absorption spectrum. The calculation results show that with the increase of x, the static dielectric constant increases, the electron transition ability increases, and the absorption peak intensity in the light absorption spectrum increases. It can conclude that the InxAl1-xN compound can theoretically achieve the adjustable Eg and photoelectric performance with x, which will apply in making various optoelectronic devices, including solar cells and sensors.
Invention and Clinical Application of an Oversleeve for Measuring Limb Volume in Postoperative Breast Cancer Patients

Background Lymphedema is a common complication of breast cancer treatment, affecting 1/5 of breast cancer survivors, but there is no reliable way to detect subclinical lymphedema. Objective The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility and reliability of using an oversleeve as a postoperative limb volume measurement tool in breast cancer patients. Methods Fifty patients were analyzed based on inclusion criteria. A body volume measurement kit was designed based on the drainage volume method and the circumference measurement method. Twenty-two normal healthy people were measured by the drainage volume (LV) and oversleeve measuring limb volume (OMLV) methods, so as to verify the accuracy of OMLV. Twenty-eight patients with lymphedema diagnosed by the circumdiameter measurement (CDM) method were measured with OMLV for comparison. The difference in measurements between OMLV and CDM was compared in 50 patients with early lymphedema diagnosed by the LV method. Results There was no significant difference between the sleeve method and the drainage volume method in the normal population (P = 0.74). All patients with lymphedema diagnosed by CDM met the diagnostic criteria by the OMLV method. In patients with early lymphedema diagnosed by LV, the diagnostic rate with OMLV was significantly higher than that with CDM (P = 0.008). Conclusion Similar to LV in the diagnosis of lymphedema, OMLV can effectively improve the diagnostic rate of early lymphedema, providing a new option for the diagnosis and treatment of lymphedema.
HAULING DAMAGES IN A MIXED BEECH OAK STAND

Beech represents a very valuable tree species in Greek Forestry with respect to its potential of wood production. Located at good quality sites, beech forests have a strong potential for further development in terms of wood quality and quantity with proper silvicultural treatments. The objective of this paper is to present the preliminary results from an extended research project conducted in beech stands of Northern Greece. This refers to the damages caused on trees along the skidding trails during the harvesting operations in a mixed beech oak stand. All trees in a width of 2m on both sides of the skidding trails in the study areas have been studied after wood extraction was completed. According to the results, 19.7% of the trees were injured or broken. The majority of the injured trees suffered at least one damage, whose area varied in a broad range. Removal of bark was evident in 38% of the injured trees whereas the combination of removed bark and destroyed wood tissues was found in 53% of the injured trees.
Comparison of Sprint Timing Methods on Performance, and Displacement and Velocity at Timing Initiation

Abstract Weakley, J, McCosker, C, Chalkley, D, Johnston, R, Munteanu, G, and Morrison, M. Comparison of sprint timing methods on performance, and displacement and velocity at timing initiation. J Strength Cond Res 37(1): 234–238, 2023—Sprint testing is commonly used to assess speed and acceleration in athletes. However, vastly different outcomes have been reported throughout the literature. These differences are likely due to the sprint timing method rather than differences in athlete ability. Consequently, this study compared different sprint starting methods on sprint time and quantified the velocity and displacement of the athlete at the moment timing is initiated. Starting in a staggered 2-point stance, 12 team sport athletes were required to accelerate 10 meters for 10 repetitions. During each repetition, 5 independent timing methods were triggered. The methods were (a) triggering a Move sensor; (b) starting 50 cm behind the line; (c) triggering a front-foot switch; (d) triggering a rear-foot switch; and (e) starting with the front foot on the line. Timing for each method was initiated at different points during the acceleration phase, and the displacement and velocity of the centroid of the pelvis at the point of timing initiation was assessed under high-speed motion capture. The Move sensor had the smallest displacement and lowest velocity at the point of timing initiation, whereas the front-foot trigger demonstrated the largest displacement and highest velocities. Trivial to very large effect size differences were observed between all methods in displacement and velocity at the point of timing initiation. Furthermore, small to very large differences in time to 5 m were found. These findings emphasize that sprint outcomes should not be compared, unless starting methods are identical. In addition, to detect real change in performance, consistent standardized protocols should be implemented.
Dynamic observation of 2H labeled compounds in the human brain with 1H versus 2H magnetic resonance spectroscopy at 9.4T

The metabolic pathway of [6,6’-2H2]-labeled glucose was investigated with two different techniques. The first technique used direct detection of deuterium applying Deuterium Metabolic Imaging (DMI). The second technique used the indirect detection of deuterium with proton MR spectroscopy (MRS) called Quantitative Exchanged-label Turnover (QELT) MRS. For the first time, time-resolved data was acquired for both techniques in the same healthy human subjects and directly compared. The time-curves were used in a kinetic model to estimate rates of the metabolic pathway of glucose. Two different kinetic models were compared. One included only DMI data, the second one combined DMI and QELT. For the first model, a tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle rate of 0.69 ± 0.10 μmol·min-1·g-1 was determined. For the second model, the estimated TCA cycle rate was 0.68 ± 0.12 μmol·min-1·g-1. In addition, the rate of glutamine synthesis from glutamate could be estimated with model 2 (0.51 ± 0.15 μmol·min-1·g-1). The sensitivity of both methods was evaluated and compared to alternative techniques.
