What Aspects of Religion and Spirituality Affect the Physical Health of Cancer Patients? A Systematic Review

In recent years, the literature on the relationship between religion and spirituality (R/S) and the health of cancer patients has been flourishing. Although most studies focus on mental health, many study the physical health of these individuals. In order to summarize the findings of these studies, we reviewed the most recent research on this subject using the PubMed and PsycInfo databases. The objective of this systematic review was to recognize the primary R/S variables studied in research on physical health in cancer contexts. We found that spiritual well-being was the most-researched variable in studies of these characteristics, followed by R/S struggles and other variables such as religious coping; religious commitment or practice; or self-rated R/S. In general, R/S seems to have a positive association with the physical health of cancer patients, although the results are quite heterogeneous, and occasionally there are no relationships or the association is negative. Our results may assist in improving interventions that include spirituality in clinical settings as well as the development of holistic approaches, which may have a positive impact on the quality of life and well-being of cancer patients.
British Journal of General Practice Cervical screening in women over fifty: challenges and opportunities - a qualitative study

Background Cervical cancer is a preventable disease. Cases in women over 50 are predicted to rise by 60% in the next two decades, yet this group are less likely to attend for screening than younger women. Aim To seek novel solutions to the challenges of cervical screening in women over fifty by examining practitioner and service-user experiences. Design and setting Semi-structured interviews with 28 practitioners and 25 service-users over fifty, recruited via UK primary care networks in 2016-17, to explore experiences related to cervical screening. Methods Inductive thematic analysis was conducted to explore the data. Results Findings are presented under three key themes. Exploring the barriers examines the influences of sexuality and early experiences of screening on attendance, and how preventative health care becomes a low priority as women age. The role of relationships explores how peer talk shapes attitudes towards cervical screening, how teamwork between practitioners engenders investment in cervical screening, and how interactions between service-users and primary care over time can significantly affect intentions to screen. What constitutes good practice? describes practical and sensitive approaches to screening tailored to women over fifty. Conclusion Good practice involves attention to structural and practical challenges, and an understanding of the role of relationships in shaping screening intentions. Experienced practitioners adapt procedures to increase sensitivity, and balance time invested in problem-solving against the benefits of reaching practice targets for attendance. Building networks of expertise across multiple practices can increase practitioner skill in screening this age group.
Constellation Design for Energy-Based Noncoherent Massive SIMO Systems Over Correlated Channels

This letter concerns the constellation design problem in energy-based noncoherent massive single-input multiple-output (SIMO) systems over correlated channels. Thanks to the large number of receiving antennas, we approximate the detection error minimization problem by the maximization of the minimum Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence of the received signal vectors corresponding to different transmitted symbols. However, the max-min KL divergence problem is still difficult to solve. This is because the KL divergence expression involves summations of nonlinear functions of the transmitted signal powers induced by the channel correlation. We then resort to the Szegö’s theorem on large Hermitian Toeplitz matrices to simplify the formulated problem, which subsequently can be optimally solved by a one-dimensional bisection search. Simulation results demonstrate that the constellation designed by our approach outperforms its counterpart without considering the channel correlation, and the performance gain enlarges as the degree of correlation increases.
Synthesis of Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs)-Nanocellulose Composite and Its Thermal Degradation Studied by TGA/FTIR

At present, the synthesis methods of crystalline porous materials often involve powder products, which not only affects the practical application but also has complex synthesis operations and limited scale. Based on the mechanochemical method, we choose COF-TpPa-1, preparing TpPa-1-DANC composites. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a kind of crystalline material formed by covalent bonds of light elements. COFs possess well pore structure and high thermal stability. However, the state of synthesized powders limits their application. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are promising renewable micron materials with abundant hydroxyl groups on their surface. It is possible to prepare high-strength materials such as film, water, and aerogel. Firstly, the nanocellulose was oxidized by the sodium periodate method to obtain aldehyde cellulose nanocrystals (DANC). TpPa-1-DANC not only had the crystal characteristic peak of COFs at 2θ ≈ 5° but also had a BET surface area of 247 m2/g. The chemical bonds between COFs and DANC formed by Schiff base reaction appeared in FTIR and XPS. The pyrolysis behavior of the composite was characterized by TG-IR, which showed that the composite had good thermal stability. With the advantages of nanocellulose as a material in every dimension, we believe that this method can be conducive to the large-scale synthesis of COFs composites, and has the possibility of multi-form synthesis of COFs.
The Protective Role of Neurogenetic Components in Reducing Stress-Related Effects during Spaceflights: Evidence from the Age-Related Positive Memory Approach

Fighting stress-related effects during spaceflight is crucial for a successful mission. Emotional, motivational, and cognitive mechanisms have already been shown to be involved in the decrease of negative emotions. However, emerging evidence is pointing to a neurogenetic profile that may render some individuals more prone than others to focusing on positive information in memory and increasing affective health. The relevance for adaptation to the space environment and the interaction with other stressors such as ionizing radiations is discussed. In particular, to clarify this approach better, we will draw from the psychology and aging literature data. Subsequently, we report on studies on candidate genes for sensitivity to positive memories. We review work on the following candidate genes that may be crucial in adaptation mechanisms: ADRA2B, COMT, 5HTTLPR, CB1, and TOMM40. The final aim is to show how the study of genetics and cell biology of positive memory can help us to reveal the underlying bottom-up pathways to also increasing positive effects during a space mission.
Supply-side readiness to deliver HIV testing and treatment services in Indonesia: Going the last mile to eliminate mother-to-child transmission of HIV

Introduction Despite national efforts to integrate Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) of HIV services into antenatal care in Indonesia, the rate of mother-to-child transmission of HIV remains the highest in the world. A range of barriers to uptake and long-term engagement in care have been identified, but far less is known about health system preparedness to deliver PMTCT of HIV services. This study explored supply-side barriers to the delivery of PMTCT services in Indonesia and whether these factors are associated with the uptake of antenatal HIV testing. Materials and methods An ecological analysis was undertaken, linking data from the World Bank Quality Service and Delivery Survey (2016) with routine data from Indonesia’s HIV and AIDS case surveillance system and district health profile reports (2016). Supply-side readiness scores—generated from a readiness index that measures overall structural capacity and is often used as proxy for quality of care—were adapted from the WHO Service Availability and Readiness Assessment and presented by sector and geographic area. Univariate and multivariate regression analysis was used to explore factors associated with the uptake of antenatal HIV testing in public facilities. Results In general, public facilities scored more highly in most inputs compared to private facilities. Facilities located in urban areas also scored more highly in the majority of inputs compared to ones in rural areas. Readiness scores were lowest for PMTCT services compared to Antenatal Care and HIV Care and Support services, especially for the availability of medicines such as zidovudine and nevirapine. The national composite readiness score for PMTCT was only 0.13 (based on a maximum score of 1) with a composite score of 0.21 for public facilities and 0.06 for private facilities. The multivariate analysis shows that the proportion of pregnant women tested for HIV was more likely to be greater than or equal to 10% in facilities with a higher readiness score and a higher number of trained counsellors available, and less likely in facilities located outside of Java-Bali and in facilities supporting a higher number of village midwives. Discussion Despite targeted efforts by the Indonesian government and multinational agencies, significant gaps exist in the delivery of PMTCT that compromise the standard of care delivered in Indonesia. Future strategies should focus on improving the availability of tests and treatment, especially in the private sector and in rural areas.
Effect of Two Ergonomic Designs for Shuttlecock Buckets

Shuttlecocks serve as one of the necessary sporting equipment to play badminton. The standard Shuttlecock buckets sold on the market are equipped with a total of 12 Shuttlecocks and the bucket body is long, which makes it time-consuming to pick up and causes palmar flexion and other usage problems. In view of this, the two brand-new designed shuttlecock buckets are introduced. This research aims to compare traditional shuttlecock buckets with two kinds of new buckets in order to find out whether they can provide users with a better experience. The experiment was evaluated by measuring wrist flexion angle and user pickup time and adopting a subjective questionnaire. The result indicated that the two new designed buckets are superior to the traditional buckets due to that they can help reduce wrist flexion angle and improve ball pick up efficiency. All in all, this study helps manufacturers to design and produce more reasonable shuttlecock buckets as it provides a new perspective on shuttlecock buckets design.
Insecticides Do Not Affect Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) Response to Imazaquin and Imazethapyr

Field and greenhouse experiments evaluated interactions of soil-applied insecticides and imazaquin and imazethapyr on growth and development of cotton. Imazaquin and imazethapyr were applied PPI at 0 to 6 and 0 to 16 g ae ha−1, respectively, in the greenhouse (plus a no-insecticide control), and 0 to 72 g ha−1 in the field in combination with aldicarb, disulfoton, and phorate (without a no-insecticide control) applied in the seed furrow. Cotton shoot fresh weight in the greenhouse experiment decreased linearly as herbicide rates increased. Greater reductions in shoot fresh weight were noted with imazaquin than with imazethapyr. Compared with no insecticide, the methylcarbamate insecticide aldicarb and the organophosphate insecticides disulfoton and phorate did not affect cotton response to either herbicide. In the field, cotton injury increased while stand, yield, and maturity decreased as herbicide rates increased. Delayed maturity was due to a lower percentage of bolls produced on sympodia from main stem nodes four to nine. Imazaquin caused greater injury, greater reductions in stand, greater delays in maturity, and lower yields than did imazethapyr. Earlier maturity was noted with aldicarb-treated cotton. Compared with aldicarb, disulfoton and phorate did not alter cotton response to imazaquin or imazethapyr.
Post-Synapses in the Brain: Role of Dendritic and Spine Structures

Brain synapses are neuronal structures of the greatest interest. For a long time, however, the knowledge about them was variable, and interest was mostly focused on their pre-synaptic portions, especially neurotransmitter release from axon terminals. In the present review interest is focused on post-synapses, the structures receiving and converting pre-synaptic messages. Upon further modulation, such messages are transferred to dendritic fibers. Dendrites are profoundly different from axons; they are shorter and of variable thickness. Their post-synapses are of two types. Those called flat/intended/aspines, integrated into dendritic fibers, are very frequent in inhibitory neurons. The spines, small and stemming protrusions, connected to dendritic fibers by their necks, are present in almost all excitatory neurons. Several structures and functions including the post-synaptic densities and associated proteins, the nanoscale mechanisms of compartmentalization, the cytoskeletons of actin and microtubules, are analogous in the two post-synaptic forms. However other properties, such as plasticity and its functions of learning and memory, are largely distinct. Several properties of spines, including emersion from dendritic fibers, growth, change in shape and decreases in size up to disappearance, are specific. Spinal heads correspond to largely independent signaling compartments. They are motile, their local signaling is fast, however transport through their thin necks is slow. When single spines are activated separately, their dendritic effects are often lacking; when multiple spines are activated concomitantly, their effects take place. Defects of post-synaptic responses, especially those of spines, take place in various brain diseases. Here alterations affecting symptoms and future therapy are shown to occur in neurodegenerative diseases and autism spectrum disorders.
Optimum experimental design for model discrimination and generalized linear models

The main subject of this thesis concerns the optimum design of experiments for discriminating between two rival mathematical models. In addition, optimality of designs for parameter estimation is investigated although restricted to binary response models. Optimal design theory and generalized linear models form the background for this work. The former provides the tools for construction of the optimum designs whereas the latter provides the framework in which the methods are developed. For model discrimination the procedures which are proposed may not only be applied to compare two regression models but also to compare two generalized linear models as long as they belong to the same subclass. The principle of the so called T-optimality criterion, originally introduced for discriminating between two regression models, is extended to other classes such as generalized linear models. Within each context a theorem based on the General Equivalence Theorem from the optimal design theory is shown to hold thus allowing both constructing and checking optimum designs. Optimum experimental designs to estimate the parameters of a binary response model is the other subject of this thesis. Initially, well known link functions such as logit, probit and complementary log-log are considered. Later, this range is widened by introducing a family of link functions which includes the logit and the complementary log-log links as particular members. One common feature of these two problems is that classical optimal designs depend on the unknown values of the model parameters. Therefore, only locally optimal designs can be obtained unless observations may be taken sequentially, in which case several methods to search for the optimum are available in the literature. As an alternative to locally and sequentially optimal experiments, Bayesian designs are introduced for both model discrimination and parameter estimation.
The potential of arboreal pitfall traps for sampling nontargeted bee and wasp pollinators

Insect pollinators, including bees and wasps, are facing a marked decline in their native populations, caused mainly by human activities, such as forest fragmentation, urbanization, and the use of agrochemicals. To help mitigate the rapid decline of pollinators, new efforts towards understanding basic and applied aspects of these organisms are necessary. Among these efforts, there is a focus on increasing the sampling efficiency, including a broader range of targeted groups and collection methods. Although each method has its advantages and disadvantages, the pollinators' crisis calls for alternative methods to analyze bee and wasp diversity and population dynamics. Here, we assess the potential role of incidental captures of bees and wasps by a method widely used to collect ants but not targeted for bees: arboreal pitfall traps. We compared the sampling efficiency of human urine‐baited arboreal pitfall traps and two traditional methods for bee sampling: pan traps and scent traps. Arboreal pitfalls collected a high diversity of bees and sphecoid wasps, and when compared with pan traps and scent traps, they had the highest species richness and the second‐highest abundance. Although the three trapping methods shared most species, each method collected particular groups of species, and there were indicator species for each trapping method. When used in pairs with pan traps, arboreal pitfalls collected a higher species diversity than pan traps paired with scent traps. In addition, each trapping method responded differently to seasonal variation, and although arboreal pitfalls had lower diversity during the rainy season, scent traps detected differences only in species abundance, and pan traps detected no differences at all. Our study reinforces the importance of complementary methods in sampling bees and wasps and the use of non‐traditional methods to increase the sampling coverage of these insects.
The Lived Experiences of Women without COVID-19 in Breastfeeding Their Infants during the Pandemic: A Descriptive Phenomenological Study

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in 2020 has led to several changes and disturbances in the daily lives of the general public. Particularly for new (first-time) mothers, there has been a significant impact on the practices of raising and feeding their babies. Social distancing measures everywhere have made mothers hesitant to breastfeed their babies anywhere else but at home. Combined with the fear of being infected with COVID-19, the present situation has created unprecedented barriers for breastfeeding mothers to accessing various types of support: emotional, instrumental, informational, and appraisal. There has been no research on the influence of the pandemic on social support regarding breastfeeding in Hong Kong. This study aimed to explore the social support and impact of COVID-19 on mothers breastfeeding their babies. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 currently breastfeeding women in Hong Kong. Colaizzi’s seven-step method was used for data analysis. Two key themes emerged from the interview data: (1) positive influences on breastfeeding support during COVID-19 and (2) negative influences on breastfeeding support during COVID-19. Our findings may help mothers prepare to breastfeed their babies in places other than their homes.
How do the various components of interaction orientation affect export performance?

Abstract Interaction orientation is a key element in modern marketing practices because it emphasizes focusing on individual customers as opposed to emphasizing customer segments. However, the majority of the literature has examined its use only in a B2C context rather than in a B2B context. Interaction orientation is comprised of several components: customer concept, interaction response capacity and customer empowerment. To help improve our understanding of interaction orientation in a B2B context, we decompose the components and utilize PLS-SEM analysis to identify how each component influences satisfaction with export performance. We also investigate how the degree to which the exporter and importer have complementary capabilities influences the firm’s customer concept. Finally, we examine the moderating effect of exporter intensity on the relationship between the customer concept and satisfaction with export performance. Using a novel dataset based on a survey of 92 export managers in an emerging market, Romania, we find that the decomposed interaction orientation components have distinct effects on satisfaction with export performance. Specifically, we find that interaction response capacity positively influences customer empowerment, which in turn positively influences the customer concept. Moreover, the customer concept positively influences complementarity of capabilities, which is positively related to satisfaction with export performance. Our results further show that exporter intensity has a positive moderating effect on the relationship between the customer concept and satisfaction with export intensity. The theoretical and managerial implications of our findings are also discussed.
Analysis of Thermal Crosstalk in Photonic Integrated Circuit Using Dynamic Compact Models

Thermal modeling of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) is required for circuit design and the development of thermal control algorithms. In this work, we present a methodology for obtaining a compact dynamic thermal <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$RC$ </tex-math></inline-formula> model of a PIC. PICs are sensitive to thermal coupling, and in this article, it is shown that traditional resistive coupling does not suffice, and a new coupling method is derived. The case study to which the new methodology is applied is a dense wavelength-division multiplexing ring filter with eight channels. With the obtained <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$RC$ </tex-math></inline-formula> model, the computational time is reduced from 5.5 h for finite element simulation to < 1 s for a single-step response. Using the compact model, circuit-level analysis of frequency response is carried out. Because of its high computational efficiency, the compact model opens possibilities for simulating thermal tuning algorithms.
