The development of e-commerce in China and Brazil: Features and prospects
Authors: Koval Alexandra G. , Vorozhun Anastasia E.
Published: January 2023

E-commerce has recently become one of the most dynamically developing forms of international trade, accelerating the digitalization of national economies. In this regard, each country has its own features of the e-commerce development. China and Brazil represent leading emerging economies that strengthen regional leadership in e-commerce, and the PRC is also one of the world leaders in this field. The authors conduct the comparative analysis, which emphasizes patterns and trends in Chinese and Brazilian e-commerce and demonstrates what challenges countries face and which factors impact on the expansion of e-commerce on domestic markets and beyond. The paper identifies the dynamics, main players and product structure of e-commerce, features of mobile and social e-commerce, infrastructural problems and their solutions. That allows to highlight the key determinants and prospects for the expansion of e-commerce in the studied countries. The research pays special attention to revealing the specifics of the cross-border e-commerce between China and Brazil, how Chinese companies enter the Brazilian market through e-commerce, and what steps Brazilian firms are taking in this field. The Chinese and Brazilian experiences in the e-commerce certainly represent an important contribution for Russia, which, under the current conditions, looks for the routes to expand its trade flows. E-commerce could become an additional driver for the development of the Russian economic activity and the improvement of the Russian digital economy.

Abstract: The practice of bleaching teeth is very common, and various tools and methods have been developed specifically for this purpose. Whiten teeth, various approaches and products are available, each with a distinctive mode of operation. These include products used at home, such as toothpaste, gels, and films, and systems used in dental offices where products with highly concentrated bleaching agents are used under close supervision. Intrinsic and extrinsic staining are the two main types of tooth discolouration causes. Intrinsic staining, also known as internal staining, can be caused by a variety of things, including genetics, ageing, antibiotics, high fluoride levels, and developmental disorders. It can even begin before the tooth has fully emerged. The effectiveness of these various techniques depends on the specific tooth discolouration being treated. Dental bleaching procedures have emerged due to technical advancements to make the procedure easier to use and increase comfort, safety, and efficiency. External dental whitening is typically accomplished with hydrogen peroxide that has been photoactivated or not or carbamate. However, the teeth whitening process in the home and business leads to sensitivity. Certain risks associated with tooth whitenings, such as increased tooth sensitivity and gingival irritation, have been known to the public and professional communities. Recent research has identified other risks, including tooth surface softening and roughening, increased demineralization risk, dental restoration degradation, and unfavourable colour change. This article aims to review and synthesize the most recent research on tooth bleaching methods and side effects.

Abstract: The most common main headache disease in children and adolescents is migraine. Migraine in children and teenagers is still diagnosed clinically. The doctor requires a thorough headache history that focuses on the kind, location, intensity, and duration of the pain. Most children's migraines are frontal rather than temporal/occipital and bilateral rather than unilateral, which makes them slightly different from adult migraines. Pediatric migraine can be successfully treated with a personalized regimen combining nonpharmacologic and pharmaceutical treatments. Pediatric patients have succeeded with pharmacological treatments for migraine prevention, including beta-blockers, calcium channel antagonists, serotonin antagonists, antidepressants, and antiepileptics. The study summarises current evidence regarding the Prevalence and Risk Factors of Migraine in Children. For article selection, the PubMed database and EBSCO Information Services were used. All relevant articles relevant to our topic and other articles were used in our review. Other articles that were not related to this field were excluded. The data was extracted in a specific format that the group members reviewed. The frequency of family fights and the amount of free time are two important contributors to the emergence of chronic headaches. The way the parents react to their daughter's headaches appears significant for females. Anaemia, obesity, disorders of the abdomen, and early menarche are a few more health issues connected to childhood headaches. Children frequently experience recurrent headaches, which is a serious medical comorbidity. The findings indicated that chronic migraine significantly contributes to headaches in children and adolescents, with various age groups being more concentrated in terms of headache features and risk factors.

What explains the rural-urban inequalities in maternal health services utilization in Tanzania? a Fairlie decomposition analysis
Authors: Ntegwa Magashi J. , Mcharo Evaline G. , Mlay Joseph F.
Published: January 2023

Background: Maternal mortality remains a public health issue in
developing countries, with rural areas having higher rates compared to
urban areas. Since effective utilization of maternal health services has
the potential to reduce maternal mortality, this study measures the
factors contributing to the existing rural-urban differences in the
utilization of maternal health services in Tanzania Methods: We
used Tanzania Demographic and Health Survey 2015/2016 data. Multi-stage
stratified sampling was used to select study participants and we
estimated a Fairlie decomposition to understand factors that contribute
to inequality in maternal health services utilization between rural and
urban areas in Tanzania using Stata 17. Results: The study
findings revealed a considerably wide rural-urban disparity in the
utilization of maternal health services. As the findings indicated,
household wealth status is the major factor for that disparity. Other
factors are women’s exposure to the media, women’s working status, and
distance from the homesteads to the health facilities.
Conclusion: Therefore, any policy geared toward bridging the
gap between rural and urban areas in the utilization of maternal health
services should focus on empowering women in terms of household economic
status, media exposure, and employment.
The CsHSFA-CsJAZ6 module mediated high temperature regulates flavonoid metabolism in Camellia sinensis

Published: January 2023

High temperatures (HT) seriously affect the yield and quality of tea.
Catechins, derived from the flavonoid pathway, are characteristic
compounds that contribute to the flavor of tea leaves. In this study, we
first showed that the flavonoid content of tea leaves was significantly
reduced under HT conditions via metabolic profiles; and then
demonstrated that two transcription factors, CsHSFA1b and CsHSFA2 were
activated by HT and negatively regulate flavonoid biosynthesis during HT
treatment. Jasmonate (JA), a defensive hormone, plays a key role in
plant adaption to environmental stress. However, little has been
reported on its involvement in HT response in tea. Herein, we
demonstrated that CsHSFA1b and CsHSFA2 activate CsJAZ6 expression
through directly binding to HSE elements in its promoter, and thereby
repress the JA pathway. Most secondary metabolites are regulated by JA,
including catechin in tea. Our study reported that CsJAZ6 directly
interacts with CsEGL3 and CsTTG1 and thereby reduces catechin
accumulation. From this, we proposed a CsHSFA-CsJAZ6 mediated HT
regulation model of catechin biosynthesis. We also determined that
negative regulation of the JA pathway by CsHSFAs and its
homologues is conserved in Arabidopsis. These findings broaden
the applicability of the regulation of JAZ by HSF transcription factors
and further suggest the JA pathway as a valuable candidate for
HT-resistant breeding and cultivation.

Published: January 2023

Bioluminescence is used as marker e.g., in genetic or plant pathological studies. We developed a method to monitor bioluminescence at the whole plant level combined with phenotypic analysis of the plant. Using a CCD camera mounted in a cabinet shielding all external light we can image weak luminescence emissions from samples and map these to RGB images. Image processing delivers temporal and spatial data on the distribution of the luminescence together with phenotypic features of the plants. With this technology, microbial colonization of plants can be monitored. Arabidopsis plants were inoculated with Pseudomonas and Xanthomonas plant-pathogenic bacteria labelled with gene cassette for autonomous luminescence and disease progression was monitored over time. Luminescence imaging revealed accumulation of the bacteria in different plant tissues while the RGB images served to monitor plant growth and occurrence of disease symptoms. Applying this method, resistant plants could be selected from a mutant population. Disease responses of susceptible plants were compared to the responses of resistant plants. In the case of Pseudomonas, bacterial abundance reached its maximum during two to four days after inoculation, at a time when water soaking of the leaves could be observed as well with the RGB camera. At later stages-five to seven days after inoculation, disease symptoms in terms of leaf yellowing and tissue collapse occurred while bacterial populations appeared to decrease. With this method it was possible to monitor pathogen development and disease progression non-invasively at whole-plant level over time.

COVID-19, a predominantly respiratory infection, is demonstrated to
cause neurologic complications even in the recovery phase. This
systematic review aims to investigate the neuroimaging findings in
Acute/ Subacute and Chronic or Post-COVID-19 patients. We searched the
online databases of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, using relevant
keywords up to December, 2021. We included all observational studies
reporting neuroimaging findings in confirmed COVID-19 patients, during
acute/subacute or chronic phase. We included 25 studies in our study.
Structural and functional neuroimaging modalities, mainly magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI),
positron emission tomography (PET), and computed tomography (CT), were
applied in COVID patients with valuable findings to detect the neural
alterations in the brain. Hypometabolism in various regions of the
brain, especially the hippocampus, parahippocampus, entorhinal cortices,
cingulate, and frontal cortices as well as pons and thalamus were among
findings reported in post-COVID patients. In addition, anatomical
alterations in different areas of the brain including the thalamus,
pons, cingulate cortex, corpus callosum, and Globus pallidus were
reported. Such findings can justify several post-COVID neurological
symptoms or complications. Structural and functional neuroimaging in
COVID and post-COVID patients potentially can show alterations which can
help in follow up of patients.
Diagnostic accuracy of IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α cytokine levels in patients with mild cognitive impairment: Systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Aquino Alana , Alexandrino Kedma , Brito Letícia , Lima Luciana , Gomes Eneas , Andrade Suellen
Published: January 2023

Introduction: There is growing evidence suggesting an association
between Neurodegeneration and Inflammation playing a role in the
pathogenesis of age-associated diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease
(AD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). A systematic review and
meta-analysis were performed to verify evidence on the diagnostic
accuracy parameters of the inflammatory cytokines Interleukin-6 (IL-6),
Interleukin-10 (IL-10) and Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF-α). Method: A
search of Medline, Scielo, Web of Science and Science Direct databases
was performed and 9 observational studies associated with peripheral
inflammatory biomarkers in CCL were identified. Mean (± SD)
concentrations of these biomarkers and values of true positives (VP),
true negatives (VN), false positives (FP) and false negatives (FN) for
CCL and healthy controls (CS) were extracted from these studies. Result:
Significantly higher levels of IL-10 were observed in subjects in the
MCI group and Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores were lower
compared to CS. For the other investigations, no differences were found
between the groups. Our meta-analysis for the TNF-α biomarker revealed
high heterogeneity between studies in terms of sensitivity and
specificity. Limitations: Lack of essential data in observational
studies, which directly impacted the number of included studies.
Conclusion: These findings do not support the involvement of
inflammatory biomarkers for detection of MCI, although significant
heterogeneity was observed. More studies are needed to evaluate the role
of these cytokines in MCI, as well as in other stages of cognitive
decline and all-cause dementias.
Human-elephant Conflicts in trans-boundary ecosystems: The case of Nimule National Park, South Sudan
Authors: Bojoi Moses , Ruley Jane , Ocaido Micheal
Published: January 2023

Wildlife have over time threatened human safety and livelihoods but the
magnitude and extent of such threats varies spatially and temporarily.
This study assessed elephant crop-raiding in Nimule National Park
landscape situated at the South Sudan- Uganda border. Crop raiding was
assessed in both Magwi County in South Sudan and Adjumani District in
Uganda, given the near trans-boundary location of Nimule National Park.
A descriptive quantitative research design was adopted. Quantitative
data on social factors were collected from 62 farmers in Magwi County in
South Sudan and 96 farmers from Adjumani District in Uganda using a
researcher administered questionnaire. More quantitative data on the
incidence of crop–raids were collected using data logs. Olikwi in Magwi
county and Ogolo in Adjumani District were the most elephant invaded
villages in South Sudan and Uganda respectively. Most raided crops were
cassava (Manihot esculenta), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), sweet potatoes
(Ipomoea batatas), simsim (Sesamum indicum L.) and (Zea mays). Given
that Magwi and Adjumani are mainly occupied by farming households, their
livelihoods have been disrupted leading to conflicts. Much as the
auditory, visual and olfactory coping mechanisms have been adopted to
mitigate crop raiding elephants, the communities neighboring NNP might
also be forced to adopt retaliatory measures, given that the magnitude
of crop raiding has been increasing in the recent past. This accounts
for why the respondents were indifferent regarding possibility of
co-existing with elephants with majority casting doubt about any
possible benefits from elephant conservation and so, were unwilling to
engage in elephant conservation projects. It is recommended that
wildlife authorities in South Sudan and Uganda work out sustainable
restorative measures that are capable of catering for long run effects
of elephant crop raiding. This could also take form of benefits-sharing
arrangements and continuous community awareness programmes.

Published: January 2023

The aim of this study was to replace fish meal (FM) with soy protein
concentrate (SPC) in carp diets. During a carp feeding trial, the
replacement of FM with SPC in four diets 100% replacement (SPC100); 50%
replacement (SPC50); 25% replacement (SPC25), and; 0% replacement (SPC0) had
no negative effects on the feed conversion ratio or the feed efficiency
ratio of the live carp. However, significant differences in the specific
growth rate and condition factor were found. The data obtained showed the
four different carp diets led to differences in the chemical composition of
the resultant carp meat. Between dietary treatments, significant differences
were seen in the level of saturated fatty acids (FAs) in carp meat (P <
0.05). The levels of monounsaturated FAs and polyunsaturated FAs in carp
meat differed significantly between dietary treatments (P ? 0.05). Pearson?s
correlation coefficient indicates a statistically significant correlation
between the FA composition of the diet and the resultant carp meat. It is
possible to replace up to 25% of the FM with SPC. Diets SPC25 and SPC0 had
no significant FA composition and had amino acid balances that, more than
the other diets studied, closely met the requirements of the carp.

Plurilinguismo urbano in Istria. Qualche nota sul paesaggio linguistico di Pula/Pola
Authors: Matticchio Isabella
Published: January 2023

The part of the Istrian peninsula belonging to the Republic of Croatia is an officially Croatian-Italian bilingual county, where bilingualism is realized both de jure and de facto. Apart from Croatian and Italian, other Romance and Slavic varieties are spoken and the linguistic situation has therefore been described as that of a double diglossia or imperfect polyglossia (Milani Kruljac 1990). Research on the linguistic landscape in officially bilingual territories, such as the Istrian Region, can be particularly useful to study the relationship of language power and prestige, the implementation of language policies and the degree of openness of different languages and cultures (see Backhaus, 2007). In this paper, we will give a brief state of the art on the study of the linguistic landscape (LL) in Croatia, especially in the officially bilingual city of Pula/Pola and give some new data on the LL of the city. Following Ben-Rafael et al. (2006)’s definition both top-down and bottom-up signs were considered in order to document the variety of the linguistic repertoire. All the signs were coded by adopting the analytical coding categories suggested by Backhaus (2007). The results shed light both on the implementation of language policies and on the degree of multilingualism in the city.

The growth of technology this day makes it a necessity in daily human life such as electronic money. There are so many issuers that have been registered at Bank Indonesia. An issuer even tries to add Sharia features to its electronic money. Although the sharia label has become common in Indonesian society, there is still scepticism about sharia labels on some products. This study aims to determine the switching intention of millennials to use sharia electronic money in Indonesia using the UTAUT2 as a research model. The population in this study is all users of LinkAja electronic money. The sampling technique used purposive sampling; the number of samples was 168 users. Data analysis techniques used are Structural Equation Model and Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS), the data processing applications using Smart-PLS 3.0. The results of this study indicate that the two independent variables, social influence and facilitating conditions, do not affect the intention to switch. However, five other independent variables, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, hedonic motivation, price value, and habit, positively and significantly affect the intention to switch to using Sharia electronic money.

Published: January 2023

Carbohydrates are the major source of energy for the living cells, they  are the first cellular constituents that synthesized during photosynthesis from carbon dioxide and water by green plants through absorption of sun light. To be used as source of  energy,  carbohydrates  compounds should undergo series of enzymatic metabolic stages in the cell. Beside the energy productions, catabolism of carbohydrates provides different intermediates molecules for the synthesis of biomolecules like fatty acids, amino acids, DNA, and RNA. Among the three main examples  of monosaccharide (i.e: glucose, galactose, and mannose), glucose is considered as the central molecule in carbohydrate metabolism that all the major pathways of carbohydrate metabolism relate to it. Glucose is also an essential component of cellular metabolism in maintaining carbon homeostasis. Liver has shown to play a key role in monitoring and stabilizing blood glucose levels, therefore, it can be considered as glucostate monitor. In this article, we will review  the major metabolic pathways of carbohydrate metabolism, their biochemical role in cellular energy production, and latest development in the understanding in these fields. Also, we discuss about the factors that participate in regulation of blood glucose concentration. We believe understand these process is essential for control scarbohydrate-related human disorders.

This article is a theological interpretation of Jeremiah’s dispute and God’s answer in Jeremiah 12:1-13. In the midst of his frustration over Anatot’s assassination threat, Jeremiah questions the God’s wisdom. This is a fundamental question about what humans wish for and what they get. However, God’s answer is something unpredictable. In His wisdom, God gives a warning about what will happen in the future that will be even tougher. This Jeremiah’s passage will be read using the rhetorical criticism metho, that will stress the intention of the writer in using such a term or metaphor to deliver his theological message. Finally, it will be found that God’s wisdom is an effort to train Jeremiah and his reader to hold on and look for God in the time of suffering.
MENGHAYATI MISA VIRTUAL: MERAYAKAN HIPERREALITAS RELIGIUS MENJADI GEREJA VIRTUAL DI KATEDRAL JAKARTA
Authors:   Program Doktor Kajian Budaya Universitas Sanata Dharma Yogyakarta, Cornelius Iman Sukmana
Published: January 2023

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the government issued social distancing rules. As a result, religious life, including the Catholic Church, must adapt to these rules. For this reason, the Jakarta Cathedral Catholic Church is holding the online or live-streaming mass. This mass is experienced as a virtual mass, that is, the people experience a "mass" that is not concrete as if they are experiencing a real mass. This virtual mass experience is an experience of religious hyperreality, i.e. an experience that goes beyond the actual reality. This research uses the religious cultural phenomenology method through observation, interviews, literature study, and internet data browsing. The objects of this research are the virtual mass phenomenon and the experience of the people living in the virtual mass. The research results show that the virtual mass phenomenon is becoming more natural, reasonable, and normal, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. By participating in the virtual Mass, Catholics also become a Virtual Church.

Özellikle erken çocukluk gelişimi ve eğitimine yönelik içerik üreten sosyal medya hesaplarından biri olan Instagram’ın ebeveynler ve öğretmenler üzerindeki yansımasını betimlemek hem Instagram hesaplarının içeriğinin hem de ebeveyn ve öğretmenlerin bilgi, ilgi ve beklentilerinin ortaya konulması açısından gereklidir. Bu araştırmada; okul öncesi dönem çocuğu olan 14 ebeveyn ve 8 okul öncesi öğretmeninin Instagram’da takip ettikleri erken çocukluk gelişimi ve eğitimine yönelik paylaşımlar yapan hesapların ebeveynler ve öğretmenler üzerindeki yansımalarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma, nitel araştırma yöntemiyle desenlenen bir “fenomenoloji/olgubilim” araştırmasıdır. Bulgular ebeveynler ve öğretmenlerin Instagram hesaplarını sıklıkla bilgi edinmek, farklı etkinlik önerisi almak ve çocuklarla eğlenceli vakit geçirmek için takip ettiğini göstermektedir. Ebeveynler ve öğretmenlerin takip ettikleri Instagram hesaplarından beklentisi; iletişim dilinin sade, anlaşılır olması ve hesapların uygulanabilir öneriler sunmasıdır. Ayrıca bulgular ebeveyn ve öğretmenlerin hesapları takip ederken çoğunlukla içerik üreticisi hakkında bir araştırma yapmadıklarını göstermektedir.

One of the flagship Creating Share Value (CSV) programs by PT Biofarma in 2021 is the Re-Grass & Sustainability Village program. First, this program has been able to meet the demand for fodder for horses, which is one of the input rows in the production process at PT. Biofarma and also for the farming community around PT Biofarma’s operations. Even the fostered community is able to supply the needs of green fodder for several breeders in other areas through fermentation activities (silage) and pellet feed. Second, the CSR program to build animal feed security also received MURI records for productivity and high protein content. Third, the results of the evaluation by calculating the value of Social Return on Investment (SROI) show the value of Rp. 7,37. Based on the indicators, there are questions about what kind of communication was built into the program so that it was able to achieve a high level of success. Research with qualitative methods was conducted to answer the questions. The results of the research show that the communication activities carried out include the integration and coordination of various channels and sources of information, designing and implementing various communication techniques, and utilizing the nature and characteristics of communicators according to their respective positions. Implementation of information diffusion of green fodder is also supported by facilities that can simplify and reduce the risk of loss to the target group in adopting innovations.

For the last two years, Indonesia and all countries in the world have been engaged with the COVID-19 pandemic. The government issued various forms of policies to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including PSBB and PPKM. The West Java Police Public Relations, as part of the government, also communicated the program through their social media. One of the social media accounts used is the Instagram account @humaspoldajabar. However, the uploaded content has yet to achieve optimal results. The purpose of this study is to describe the management of Instagram social media @humaspoldajabar during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research uses qualitative research methods with the type of case study research and collecting data using observation and literature study. The result of this research is that the contents uploaded by the Public Relations Division of the Java Regional Police are content related to appeals, information, and policies for controlling the COVID-19 outbreak. Public Relations of the West Java Regional Police uploaded content that described humanist police activities accompanied by the positive imagery of officials within the West Java Regional Police. The West Java Police Public Relations should use brand influencers to optimize content and display content that suits the needs and characteristics of the public. Content in the form of positive imagery can actually threaten the image of the police themselves.
Computed tomographic lymphangiography following percutaneous intrahepatic injection of iopamidol in cats
Authors: Johnson Eric G. , Mayhew Philipp D. , Runge Jeffrey J.
Published: January 2023

OBJECTIVE

To determine if computed tomographic lymphangiography (CTL) after ultrasound-guided percutaneous injection of intrahepatic iopamidol (Isovue 370) in healthy cats would safely and effectively lead to opacification of the hepatic lymphatics, cisterna chyli, and thoracic ducts (TDs).

STUDY DESIGN

A prospective pilot study design with randomization of the sides of the liver injected.

SAMPLE POPULATION

6 purpose-bred cats.

PROCEDURES

Cats were anesthetized and based on random assignment, and the left or right liver was injected with iodinated contrast material. CTL images were taken at 5, 10, and 15 minutes postinjection to determine the quality of opacification of the cisterna chyli and TDs.

RESULTS

Eleven hepatic injections from 6 cats were available for review. One CT file was corrupted and unusable. Seven out of 11 hepatic contrast injections yielded a diagnostic study. Five out of 11 were graded as excellent, 0/11 were graded as good, and 2/11 were graded as fair. Opacification of the cisterna chyli and TDs was absent in 4/11 studies. Three out of 6 cats had mild to moderate increases in hepatocellular enzymes when assayed 3 months postprocedure. The hepatic lymphatics, cisterna chyli, and TDs were opacified in all studies deemed diagnostic.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Intrahepatic contrast injection offers a novel portal for thoracic duct lymphangiography that documents the hepatic contribution to the mesenteric lymphatics, cisterna chyli, and thoracic duct. The procedure may be helpful in the preoperative diagnostic evaluation of cats with chylothorax.

Moxifloxacin (MOX) is an important antibiotic commonly used in the treatment of recurrent Escherichia coli (E. coli) infections. The aim of this study was to investigate its antibacterial efficiency when used with solid lipid nanoparticles (SNLs) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) as delivery vehicles. For this purpose we designed two SLNs (SLN1 and SLN2) and two NLCs (NLC1 and NLC2) of different characteristics (particle size, size distribution, zeta potential, and encapsulation efficiency) and loaded them with MOX to determine its release, antibacterial activity against E. coli, and their cytotoxicity to the RAW 264.7 monocyte/macrophage-like cell line in vitro. With bacterial uptake of 57.29 %, SLN1 turned out to be significantly more effective than MOX given as standard solution, whereas SLN2, NLC1, and NLC2 formulations with respective bacterial uptakes of 50.74 %, 39.26 %, and 32.79 %, showed similar activity to standard MOX. Cytotoxicity testing did not reveal significant toxicity of nanoparticles, whether MOX-free or MOX-loaded, against RAW 264.7 cells. Our findings may show the way for a development of effective lipid carriers that reduce side effects and increase antibacterial treatment efficacy in view of the growing antibiotic resistance.

Objective: Depression appears to be common among the patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Therefore, how to comprehensively analyze the changes in depression and its impact on patient outcomes is an important research direction. The objectives of this study were to assess changes in depression and whether depression can be used to predict outcomes in patients receiving hemodialysis.

Methods: In a longitudinal study, 317 patients receiving hemodialysis from two hospitals were investigated. Depression was assessed using the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMDS) at baseline. Outcomes data (survival and mortality) were collected from baseline to the end of follow-up 2 years later. Mortality was assessed using Cox proportional hazards analysis.

Results: The HAMDS score and percentage of high scores increased at three time points. Moreover, the changes were statistically significant. Surviving patients had significantly lower HAMDS scores. Through multivariate Cox regression analysis, age and depression can be used to predict mortality (P < 0.05), and the relative risks (RRs) were 1.032 and 1.069, respectively.

Conclusions: Depression in patients receiving hemodialysis is worse. Moreover, baseline depression is an independent predictor of outcomes. Patients receiving hemodialysis should be focused on improving their psychological complications. A systematic and individual psychological health promotion plan must also be incorporated into the health education plan for patients receiving hemodialysis.

Objective: Family plays an important role in taking care of children with intellectual disabilities (IDs). Resilience supports coping strategies for caregivers with their children caring. However, factors influencing the resilience of caregivers with ID in Thailand are yet to be identified. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify the predictors of resilience in caregivers of children with moderate to severe ID.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was implemented in caregivers of children with ID aged 18 years and older who had children diagnosed with ID aged 6–18 years and classified as moderate to severe ID. Descriptive statistic and multiple linear regression were used for data analysis.

Results: The study sample consisted of 85 caregivers who took care of their children older than 5 years (95.30%). Depression, social support, cognitive function, and stigma could predict the resilience (F [4, 80] = 26.79, P < 0.001) and explain the variability of resilience by 57.3%.

Conclusions: Caregivers have to take care of their children for a long period, which could develop a burden to the caregivers. The resilience and influencing factors should be monitored and managed by developing a campaign to promote caregivers’ health and well-being.
