The Secondary Luxury Consumer: An Investigation into Online Consumption
Authors: Slaton Kelcie , Pookulangara Sanjukta
Published: October 2022

The secondary luxury market is a recent phenomenon attributed to changing consumer beliefs that influence their consumption process. The purpose of this study was to explain consumption behaviors of secondary luxury consumers by investigating secondary consumer beliefs and purchase intention, specifically in the context of online shopping. An online survey was created in Qualtrics to collect data. After a preliminary analysis, structural equation modeling was used to conduct a confirmatory factory analysis and to test the hypothesized relationships. The findings revealed that all consumer beliefs, including environmental, frugality, online retailing, and fashion consciousness, positively influenced consumers’ attitudes and subsequent purchase intention for second-hand luxury items from online secondary luxury retailers. This study added to the literature by utilizing the Theory of Planned Behavior framework and incorporating the secondary luxury consumer beliefs. Ultimately, the researchers were able to better understand this online secondary luxury consumer and what influences the consumer to purchase secondary luxury goods from online retailers such as The RealReal.

Published: October 2022

The comprehensive resource and environment carrying capacity (RECC) evaluation is an important method for measuring the rationality of the population, resource, and environment allocation, which is an important scientific guidance for scientific research and the judgment of regional economic and social development potential and the optimization of the national land spatial pattern. This paper constructs a comprehensive evaluation index system of the RECC under the new situation of climate policy and high-quality economic development; it analyzes the factors influencing the RECC, the overall level, the spatial difference, and the carrying status by using the TOPSIS model based on the entropy weight method, and it identifies the shortcomings; then, it analyzes the characteristics of regional dynamic change and sustainable development trend, and finally, it simulates the optimal spatial pattern under the scenario simulated by the FLUS model. The conclusions are as follows: ① the resource factors have the greatest influence on the carrying capacity of the resources and the environment, followed by economic factors. Among them, per capita water resources, forest coverage rate, and health institutions have the highest impact on RECC. ② The overall level of comprehensive RECC from 2015 to 2020 shows an upward trend, and although the positive impact of resource-led provinces on the level of economic development power and RECC is greater than the negative one, the environmental support is the shortcoming of the future development of the regional economy. ③ The overall spatial performance of RECC is characterized as being high in Guanzhong, second in northern Shaanxi, and low in southern Shaanxi. The northern area of Yulin in the Guanzhong Plain City Cluster, which is an important national energy chemical base, is the core of the national-level urbanization development areas, and the northern area of the Guanzhong Plain City Cluster is the key choice of the provincial-level urbanization development areas. The area along the west bank of the Yellow River in the Qinba Mountain area in southern Shaanxi and the Baiyu Mountain area in northern Shaanxi can be positioned as national key ecological function areas.

Published: October 2022

This study aimed to develop the Addis Ababa Driving Cycle (DC) using real-time data from passenger vehicles in Addis Ababa based on a neural network (NN) and principal component analysis (PCA) approach. Addis Ababa has no local DC for automobile emissions tests and standard DCs do not reflect the current scenario. During the DC’s development, the researchers determined the DC duration based on their experience and the literature. A k-means clustering method was also applied to cluster the dimensionally reduced data without identifying the best clustering method. First, a shape-preserving cubic interpolation technique was applied to remove outliers, followed by the Bayes wavelet signal denoising technique to smooth the data. Rules were then set for the extraction of trips and trip indicators before PCA was applied, and the machine learning classification was applied to identify the best clustering method. Finally, after training the NN using Bayesian regularization with a back propagation, the velocity for each route section was predicted and its performance had an overall R-value of 0.99. Compared with target data, the DCs developed by the NN and micro trip methods have a relative difference of 0.056 and 0.111, respectively, and resolve the issue of the DC duration decision in the micro trip method.

Published: October 2022

An aggregate analysis shows that undertaking fewer work and leisure trips during the pandemic had negative effects on mental health, but reducing trips to grocery shops, pharmacies and parks had the opposite effect, but there is a lack of studies on the effects of behaviour change on mental health using a disaggregate analysis. Beside mental health, a lockdown is assumed to cause social isolation, which is hypothesised to also deteriorate social health due to reducing one’s time spent socialising. This study fills these research gaps and examines the effects of behaviour change on social and mental health during the pandemic. Travel restraints have been relaxed and tightened several times, but no study has investigated the behaviour changes and discrepancies in social and mental health between Malaysia’s strict and relaxed periods. Around 438 respondents reported their behaviour changes during two different travel restraint periods and before the pandemic. This study confirms that the relaxation period caused a significant increase in the number of discretionary trips in Malaysia; however, the increase in discretionary trips did not have any significant effects in improving mental and social health. A disaggregate analysis showed that grocery shopping and socialising trips had negative effects on mental health, as opposed to previous studies using an aggregate analysis. Socialising trips, however, helped to improve the social health conditions.

Published: October 2022

A novel adsorbent copper-based organic skeleton/silicon dioxide (HKUST-1/SiO2) composite nanofiber, which can effectively remove Cr (VI) under synergistic action, has been prepared by embedding growth technique. This adsorbent was characterized by embedded growth of HKUST-1 on inorganic SiO2 electrospun nanofibers, which can remove Cr (VI) in water with the help of adsorption and membrane separation under synergistic action. The results revealed that HKUST-1 was successfully embedded between the pores of SiO2 electrospun nanofibers. The factors affecting the adsorption performance of the composite nanofibers were studied, and the result displayed that the concentration of Cr (VI) solution was 120 mg/L, the best range for pH was 3~7, the adsorption equilibrium was about 45 min, and the maximum adsorption amount was 62.38 mg/g. Compared with the SiO2 fiber without HKUST-1 growth, the adsorptive property of the composite fiber was significantly increased by 15 mg/g. The adsorption process was spontaneous and belonged to the heat absorption reaction, which was consistent with Langmuir adsorption and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. In addition, HKUST-1/SiO2 NFs can be used for the recovery of chromium resources because the HKUST-1/SiO2 NFs captured Cr (VI) can be calcined and recovered in the later stage, which reduces the consumption of desorption liquid, simplifies the recovery steps, and is conducive to energy saving and emission reduction. Therefore, HKUST-1/SiO2 NFs are expected to be applied in the field of hexavalent chromium wastewater purification and resource recovery.
Soft Computing Approach for Predicting the Effects of Waste Rubber–Bitumen Interaction Phenomena on the Viscosity of Rubberized Bitumen
Authors: Lanotte Michele
Published: October 2022

The ability to anticipate the effects of the interaction between waste rubber particles from end-of-life tires and bitumen can encourage the use of rubberized bitumen, a material with proven environmental benefits, in civil engineering applications. In this study, a predictive model of rubberized bitumen viscosity is presented for this purpose. A machine learning-based approach (Multi-Gene Genetic Programming—MGGP) and a more traditional multi-variable least square regression (MLSR) method are compared. The statistical analysis indicates that the robustness and the capability of the MGGP algorithm led to a better estimation of the rubberized bitumen’s viscosity. Additionally, the MGGP analysis returned an actual equation that could be easily implemented in any spreadsheet for an initial tuning of the production protocol based on the desired level of interaction between the rubber and bitumen.

Optical atomic clocks are currently one of the most sensitive tools making it possible to precisely test the fundamental symmetry properties of spacetime and Einstein’s theory of relativity. At the same time, the extremely high stability and accuracy of compact transportable optical clocks open new perspectives in important fields, such as satellite navigation, relativistic geodesy, and the global time and frequency network. Our project aimed to develop a compact transportable optical clock based on a single ytterbium ion. We present the first prototype of the Yb+ clock (298 kg in 1 m3) and present several solutions aimed to improve the clock’s robustness to approach the demands of a space-qualified system. We present spectroscopic studies of a 435.5 nm quadrupole clock transition with Fourier-limited spectra of 25 Hz. The estimated instability of the output frequency at 1 GHz, which was down-converted with an optical frequency comb (OFC), is at the level of 9×10−15/τ, and the long-term instability and inaccuracy are at the level of 5×10−16. As the next steps, we present a new design for the clock laser and the OFC.
Peculiarities of Electron Wave Packet Dynamics in Planar Nanostructures in the Presence of Magnetic and Electric Fields
Authors: Starodubtseva Darya , Tikhonova Olga
Published: October 2022

Currently, spatially localized electron densities and currents are considered to be candidates for use in the encoding of quantum information. For this reason, the control of their temporal dynamics is an important task. In this work, the spatiotemporal evolution of an electron wave packet in planar nanostructure in the presence of transverse magnetic and lateral electric fields is investigated by direct analytical solution of the non-stationary Schrödinger equation. Methods to control and manage the dynamics of the spatially localized electron density distribution are developed. The production of photon-like quantum states of electrons opens up opportunities for applications similar to quantum optical and quantum information technologies but implemented with charge carriers. Quantum control of the trajectory of the electron wave packet, accompanied by dramatic suppression of its spreading, is demonstrated. This study discovered methods to manage spatially localized electron behavior in a nanostructure that allows a controllable charge quantum transfer and gives rise to new prospects for quantum nanoelectronics technology.

Authors: Zhang Yu , Wang Zi-Tong , Jiang Hong-Di , Chen Xin
Published: October 2022

Based on the boson realization of the Euclidean algebras, it is found that the E(n) dynamical symmetry (DS) may emerge at the critical point of the U(n)-SO(n+1) quantum phase transition. To justify this finding, we provide a detailed analysis of the transitional Hamiltonian in the U(n+1) vibron model in both quantal and classical ways. It is further shown that the low-lying structure of 82Kr can serve as an excellent empirical realization of the E(5) DS, which provides a specific example of the Euclidean DS in experiments.

Published: October 2022

Pathogens and mycotoxins are serious public health risks for humans and food safety in milk. This study concentrated on detecting Staphylococcus aureus and Ochratoxin A (OTA) in 210 pasteurized milk from ten urban Beijing districts to suggest the co-occurrence of S. aureus with toxin-producing genes and OTA in milk and the possible risk. S. aureus was identified by physiological and biochemical experiments and molecular biology experiments, and enterotoxin genes were identified by PCR. OTA was detected by LC-MS/MS. The study found 29 isolates of S. aureus, of which 17.24% had the sea gene encoding enterotoxin A. OTA was detected in 31 out of 120 samples and the maximum amount of detection was 18.8 μg/kg. The results of this study indicate that when failing to guarantee the cold chain, the presence of S. aureus with enterotoxin genes in milk will present a risk to food safety. Furthermore, the high detection rates and levels of OTA in milk suggest that OTA is a hidden risk. The co-occurrence of S. aureus and OTA in milk is a food safety concern and there is a need to control the occurrence of these two biohazards in milk.

Published: October 2022

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is one of the most hazardous viruses, which causes huge economic losses in the cattle industry around the world. In recent years, there has been a continuous increase in the diversity of pestivirus worldwide. As a member of the genus Pestivirus in the Flaviviridae family, BVDV has a wide range of host animals including cattle, goat, sheep, pig, camel and other cloven-hoofed animals, and it has multi-tissue tropism as well. The recognition of their permissive cells by viruses via interaction with the cellular receptors is a prerequisite for successful infection. So far, little is known about the cellular receptors essential for BVDV entry and their detailed functions during BVDV infection. Thus, discovery of the cellular receptors involved in the entry of BVDV and other pestiviruses is significant for development of the novel intervention. The viral envelope glycoprotein Erns and E2 are crucial determinants of the cellular tropism of BVDV. The cellular proteins bound with Erns and E2 potentially participate in BVDV entry, and their abundance might determine the cellular tropism of BVDV. Here, we summarize current knowledge regarding the cellular molecules have been described for BVDV entry, such as, complement regulatory protein 46 (CD46), heparan sulfate (HS), the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor, and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17). Furthermore, we focus on their implications of the recently identified cellular receptors for pestiviruses in BVDV life cycle. This knowledge provides a theoretical basis for BVDV prevention and treatment by targeting the cellular receptors essential for BVDV infection.

Published: October 2022

The gonorrhoea caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae remains a major global public health problem with high morbidity. Gonorrhoea can affect both women and men, being more prevalent in sexually active young individuals. Even after infection from N. gonorrhoeae, many patients may remain asymptomatic, making the diagnosis and adequate treatment of the disease difficult. The treatment and control of gonorrhoea have been difficult in recent years in most populations, being an example of how behavioural, social, and demographic factors can influence the epidemiology of an infectious disease. The emergence of strains of N. gonorrhoeae resistant to multiple antimicrobials, especially to extended-spectrum cephalosporins, indicates that gonorrhoea has the potential to become untreatable in the current reality of treatment options, especially in places that have a high prevalence of gonococcal infections. The loss of available and effective treatment options can lead to significant increases in new cases of the disease, as well as increased morbidity and mortality. This review provides an overview of current therapeutic options for gonorrhoea, as well as ongoing experimental studies and clinical trials with new antigonococcal agents.

Published: October 2022

The performance of stabilization/solidification(S/S) monoliths is vital for the long-term effectiveness of potentially toxic-element-contaminated soil treatments, which arevulnerable to environmental conditions (e.g., strongly acidic or alkaline conditions). This study numerically investigated the long-term performance of S/S monolith materials in erosive environments with pHs ranging from 2.65 to 10.00 over three years. It was found that the leachability and availability of Pb decreased continually over the three years due to the transformation of the chemical fractions of Pb from acid-soluble fractions to reducible and oxidizable fractions. Environmental pH greatly affected the strength and permeability of the S/S monoliths, which increased in weakly acidic and alkaline conditions (e.g., pH 5.00–10.00), while they were significantly reduced in strongly acidic conditions (e.g., pH 2.65–3.65). The strength of the S/S monolith decreased from 19.7 MPa to 0.2 Mpa after three years when the environmental pH was 2.65. A model was established to predict the long-term strength evolution of the S/S monolith. The dissolution of hydration products in the S/S monolith materials caused by acid erosion directly attenuated the strength and permeability of the S/S-treated soils. Long-term exposure to acidic environments could lead to the failure of S/S treatments. Thus, more attention should be paid to the long-term effectiveness of S/S monoliths in erosive environments.

Published: October 2022

Due to the insufficient number and uneven distribution of urban rainfall stations, research on urban flooding disasters is limited. With the development of big data research, many scholars have applied big data to natural disaster research. In this paper, we analyzed the reliability of unstructured data from the urban rainfall patterns studies using the measured rainfall data for Zhengzhou City. First, web crawler technology was used on Sina Weibo, one of China’s largest social platforms, to obtain the unstructured data related to rainfall. The fuzzy recognition method was used to analyze the rain patterns of the measured rainfall data and the unstructured data, which verified the reliability of the unstructured data in the analysis of the urban rainfall patterns. Taking Zhengzhou City as an example, it was found that the matching degree of rain pattern recognition results was 45%, between the unstructured data and measured data. This showed that the application of the unstructured data in the analysis of the urban rainfall patterns has a certain degree of reliability.

Published: October 2022

The complex and extensive mechanism of landslides and their direct connection to climate change have turned these hazards into critical events on a global scale, which can have significant negative influences on the long-term sustainable development of nations. Taiwan experiences numerous landslides on different scales almost every year. However, Typhoon Morakot (2009), with large-scale landslides that trapped people, demonstrated the importance of an early warning system. The absence of an effective warning system for landslides along with the impossibility of its accurate monitoring highlighted the necessity of landslide rainfall threshold prediction. Accordingly, the prediction of the landslide rainfall threshold as an early warning system could be an effective tool with which to develop an emergency evacuation protocol. The purpose of this study is to present the capability of the deep learning algorithm to determine the distribution of landslide rainfall thresholds in a potential large-scale landslide area and to assess the distribution of recurrence intervals using probability density functions, as well as to assist decision makers in early responses to landslides and reduce the risk of large-scale landslides. Therefore, the algorithm was developed for one of the potential large-scale landslide areas (the Alishan D098 sub-basin), Taiwan, which is classified as a Type II Landslide Priority Area. The historical landslide data, maximum daily rainfall, 11 topographic factors from 2004 to 2017, and the Keras application programming interface (API) python library were used to develop two deep learning models for landslide susceptibility classification and landslide rainfall threshold regression. The predicted result shows the lowest landslide rainfall threshold is located primarily in the northeastern downstream of the Alishan catchment, which poses an extreme risk to the residential area located upstream of the landslide area, particularly if large-scale landslides were to be triggered upstream of Alishan. The landslide rainfall threshold under controlled conditions was estimated at 780 mm/day (20-year recurrence interval), or 820 mm/day (25-year recurrence interval). Since the frequency of extreme rainfall events caused by climate change is expected to rise in the future, the overall landslide rainfall threshold was considered 980 mm/day for the entire area.

The health and well-being of children is in the first place in the social policy of any state. In relation to children with chronic diseases, a lot of state support measures are being developed, including preferential drug provision. What is more, the availability and volume of benefits for each individual child may affect the further prognosis of the disease, as well as the social and economic efficiency of the taken measures. The study showed that there are restrictions at all stages of the preferential drug provision. Most parents have low awareness of the child's right to benefits, as well as low legal activity in situations where the child's right is violated. A third of parents prefer not to use the benefit, fearing obstacles to its implementation. The availability of drug coverage is significantly higher for children eligible for a federal benefit than for those with a regional benefit.

According to the results of brain MRI, it seemed that the motor deficit in the left limbs was irreversible due to the absence of brain tissue in the right hemisphere. This clinical case is indisputably unique and not standard and contains inexplicable changes that contradict the laws of anatomy and physiology and require further study. A young patient diagnosed with post-traumatic encephalopathy after suffering a severe open craniocerebral injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and intracerebral hematoma in the right hemisphere, complicated by purulent meningoencephalitis, developed severe sensorimotor aphasia, gaze paresis, left-sided plegia, hypesthesia, and hemianopsia. The patient was discharged from the hospital with a very poor prognosis. However, parents and close relatives continued to activate the patient with the help of passive and active kinesiotherapy. The result was unexpected for doctors, since the neurological sensory and motor deficit gradually partially regressed with the improvement of the cognitive brain functions. In our opinion, the regression of the neurological deficit in the absence of a morphological substrate and neurophysiological recovery in the affected hemisphere is due to the high plasticity of the brain, represented by compensatory activation and reorganization of the ipsilateral sensory and pyramidal tracts.

En el presente artículo se aborda la cuestión de la formación humanística y comprometida socialmente de los profesionales, lo que constituye para la universidad actual un motivo tanto de preocupación como de ocupación.Para ello se desarrolla el tema de la superación del enfoque simple de las competencias profesionales en virtud del cual las mismas se entienden como cualidades aisladas, fundamentalmente de índole cognitiva y predeterminantes del éxito profesional en escenarios laborales concretos, hacia un enfoque personal y dinámico cuya atención está centrada no en dichas cualidades aisladas, sino en la participación del profesional que, como persona integral, construye, pone en acción e incorpora sus cualidades motivacionales y cognitivas para poder desarrollar una actuación profesional eficiente, cualquiera sea el ámbito en el que deba desempeñarse.De este modo, la atención se centra cada vez más en el estudiante como persona que se construye en el proceso de aprendizaje profesional, lo cual exige comprender la necesaria interrelación entre competencias genéricas y específicas en el proceso de formación profesional universitaria. En este sentido, se presentan las reflexiones de un grupo de docentes y egresados universitarios bolivianos y cubanos, acerca de la importancia de las competencias genéricas y su desarrollo en el contexto universitario.
Políticas centradas en el profesorado: realidades y desafíos. Presentación
Authors: López Rupérez Francisco , Moraleda Ruano Álvaro
Published: October 2022

Las políticas centradas en el profesorado reposan, esencialmente, en dos pilares fundamentales que, junto con sus interacciones, configuran una panoplia de ámbitos de actuación relevantes: El acceso a la profesión docente y el desarrollo profesional. El primero no solo incluye lo relativo a la formación inicial, sino también lo concerniente a su conexión con los procedimientos de habilitación para el ingreso en la profesión, sea cual fuere la naturaleza pública o privada de su destino laboral. El segundo comporta las políticas de formación permanente, de evaluación del desempeño, de incentivos y de promoción. Pero ambos pilares esenciales no pueden ser considerados independientes como etapas sucesivas del cursus docente, sino que es aconsejable, en aras de su efectividad, adoptar un enfoque sistémico que se beneficie de una visión global o integrada de ambos tipos de políticas críticas para el éxito educativo y la mejora escolar.

Published: October 2022

The fundamental defects around the p–n interface were analyzed based on low temperature photoluminescence measurements to determine the origin of the various defects around the n-CdS/p-SnS structure in tin sulfide (SnS) solar cells. Particularly, the effects of Cd, S, and Na atoms on PL at the interface of a CdS layer and various treated SnS layers were examined. The PL peaks at 1.08 and 1.23 eV in the CdS/SnS structure, which were observed using the Cd partial electrolyte-treated SnS film, were associated with the formation of Cd-related defects. Furthermore, the PL peak at 1.27 eV in the CdS/SnS structure, which was observed using the sulfurized-SnS film and the excess Na-diffused SnS film, was associated with the formation of S-related defects such as OS defects. These findings present considerable potential for improving the efficiency of SnS solar cells.
MRRT: Modeling of multiple reflections of radiation between terrains applied on the lunar surface region
Authors: Liu Yunfei
Published: October 2022

The lunar surface has a stable luminosity. To use the Moon as a calibration standard, the Robotic Lunar Observatory (ROLO) program models the integration of the radiance of the entire lunar surface. However, the albedos of the mare and the highlands are very different. The modeling based on the lunar global irradiance/reflected radiance is bound to result in higher uncertainty. In contrast, if the local calibration of the lunar surface is adopted, the lunar complex topography effect cannot be ignored. This paper presents a new model for quantifying multiple reflections of radiation between terrains (MRRT). The relationship between the bidirectional reflectance factor (BRF) of the observed pixel and the true microtopography reflectance is established, which shows that the BRF is mainly influenced by the true topography reflectance, the terrain undulation, the incident irradiance on the topography surface, and the masking in the observation direction. The new model applied on the lunar surface obtains clearer terrain details. The inversion reflectance of the Chang'e-3 landing area is closer to the reflectance measured in situ, and the reflectance curves of the Apollo 16 landing area are almost consistent under different illumination observation geometries. This shows that the MRRT model can effectively eliminate the topographic effect. Compared with the ROLO model, the MRRT model does not restrict the specific selection, so it can select a region with a uniform material distribution, small albedo difference, and low topography undulation to establish the lunar surface radiometric calibration field with the advantage of providing stable radiation characteristics.

A novel power hardware-in-the-loop interface algorithm, the Virtual Shifting Impedance, is developed, validated and demonstrated in this paper. Building on existing interface algorithms, this method involves shifting a part of the software impedance to the hardware side to improve the stability and accuracy of PHIL setups. However, compared to existing approaches, this impedance shifting is realized by modifying the command signals of the power amplifier controller, thus avoiding the requirement for hardware passive components. The mathematical derivation of the Virtual Shifting Impedance interface algorithm is realized step-by-step, while its stability and accuracy properties are thoroughly examined. Finally, the applicability of the proposed method is verified through PHIL simulation results.

Integrated Fuzzy FUCOM And Fuzzy MARCOS Approaches for Housing Location Problem
Authors: Emeç Şeyma
Published: October 2022

When choosing a housing, the region in which it is located is as important as the quality of the housing. Depending on a number of factors such as the socio-cultural structure of that region, the services offered, and the opportunities in the surrounding area, the choice of housing location may change. In this context, the aim is to investigate which district is the most suitable when buying a house by evaluating customers' preferences for housing location in Erzurum province. In the case study, 3 alternative regions (Palandoken, Yakutiye ve Aziziye) and 6 criteria (transportation accessibility, housing price, population density, noise and air pollution, infrastructure safety, social and cultural activity areas) were defined and the criteria weights were calculated using the Fuzzy Full Consistency Method (F-FUCOM). Then, the Fuzzy Measurement Alternatives and Ranking According to Compromise Solution (F- MARCOS) method was used to evaluate the alternatives. The results of the research have shown that the most important criterion is the price of the house, while the least important criterion is noise and air pollution for customers to buy a house. In addition, the results have shown that Yakutiye district is the best alternative for choosing housing districts in Erzurum province. The other alternatives are Palandoken and Aziziye respectively.

Objective: The purpose of the study was to determine whether diabetes related depression and distress arethe same thing among type 1 diabetic.Study Design: A cross sectional study.Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted from June 2019 to September 2019 in the community of Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan.Materials and Methods: The data was collected from community dwelling population. Quantitative Researchwas designed to determine the prediction of diabetes related depression and distress through level of bloodsugar i.e., Glycosylated Haemoglobin. Secondly, occurrence of depression and distress along with subtypes wasalso calculated in diabetic patients. Demographic sheet, DDS17 Questionnaire and PHQ-9 (Mobile App) wereused for the collection of data from the patients.Results: Diabetes related distress, but not diabetes related depression, was associated with worse glycemicmanagement. Only 8% of the patients with diabetes related depression experience no distress. More than 75%of screening positive for depression also had diabetes related distress. Majority of the patients endorseddiabetes related distress compared to depression.Conclusion: From the analysis of the obtained results it was concluded that diabetes related depression anddistress are not the same thing and should not be considered synonymous expressions. As both distress anddepression are altogether different phenomenon and demand different interventions, hence should be treateddifferently.How to cite this: Javed S, Pasha QU, Kiani S, Haider A.

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the major health problems we face in the 21st century. Nowadays we cannot understand global health without the interdependence between the human, animal and environmental dimensions. It is therefore logical to adopt a “One Health” approach to address this problem. In this review we show why a collaboration of all sectors and all professions is necessary in order to achieve optimal health for people, animals, plants and our environment.
