Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Grekova-Kononova Alina
Published: August 2024

The article presents the results of changing the image of the personality’s world in a situation of experiencing the loss of a loved one. The longitudinal study, which included three measurements with a difference of three months, involved 80 people who had experienced the death of a loved one from 1 month to 2 years ago. To study the dynamics of the image of the world, we used: a modified version of the semantic differential of Ch. Osgood, the test of existential motivations by A. Langle, the technology “Depth of meaningfulness of life” by P. Ibersol, the questionnaire of post-traumatic growth by R. Tadeshi and L. Calhoun. Statistical methods: frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, content analysis, one-factor analysis of variance (ANOVA), nonparametric Friedman criterion. Results: 1. The dynamics of the image of the world in a situation of loss is characterized by heterochrony and unevenness: changes in the perceptual layer of the image of the world are quite local in nature and show that the most sensitive to changes is the characteristic “chaotic — ordered”; changes in the semantic layer of the image of the world turned out to be the most dynamic and associated with the transformation of attitudes towards other people towards openness, positivity, compassion; changes in the nuclear layer of the image of the world are more concerned with the emergence of a sense of new opportunities, new interests, a desire for change, increasing the value of life, gaining new life meanings. 2. With regard to the object, term and cause of loss, as well as age and gender, their situational influence in the process of experiencing loss on changes in the image of the world and its components can be noted.

Authors: Dang Tuan Minh Truong , Bui Ha Manh
Published: August 2024

This study evaluates the performance of the Internal Circulation eXperience (ICX) reactor in treating high-strength paper mill wastewater in the south of Vietnam. The ICX reactor effectively managed organic concentrations (sCOD) of up to 11,800 mg/L. Results indicate a volumetric loading rate (VLR) of 26.8 kg/m3 × day, achieving processing efficiency exceeding 81% while consistently maintaining volatile fatty acids (VFA) below 300 mg/L. The study employed Monod and Stover–Kincannon kinetic modeling, revealing dynamic parameters including Ks = 56.81 kg/m3, Y = 0.121 kgVSS/kgsCOD, Kd = 0.0242 1/day, μmax = 0.372 1/day, Umax = 151 kg/m3 × day, and KB = 175.92 kg/m3 × day, underscoring the ICX reactor's superior efficiency compared to alternative technologies. Notably, the reactor's heightened sensitivity to VFA levels necessitates influent concentrations below 1,400 mg/L for effective sludge treatment. Furthermore, the influence of calcium on treatment efficiency requires post-treatment alkalinity maintenance below 19 meq/L to stabilize MLVSS/MLSS concentration. Biogas production ranged from 0.6 to 0.7 Nm3 biogas/kg sCOD; however, calcium impact diminished this ratio, reducing overall treatment efficiency and biogas production. The study contributes valuable insights into anaerobic treatment processes for complex industrial wastewaters, emphasizing the significance of controlling VFA, calcium, and alkalinity for optimal system performance.

Authors: Cao Zexian , Yang Changhe , Zhang Wenqiang , Shao Huiliang
Published: August 2024

To achieve the purpose of treating waste by waste, in this study, a nitrogen-doped Fe/Mn bimetallic biochar material (FeMn@N-BC) was prepared from chicken manure for persulfate activation to degrade Bisphenol A (BPA). The FeMn@N-BC was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffract meter (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) and found that N doping can form larger specific surface area. Catalytic degradation experiments showed that Fe/Mn bimetal doping not only accelerated the electron cycling rate on the catalyst surface, but also makes the biochar magnetic and easy to separate, thus reducing environmental pollution. Comparative experiments was concluded that the highest degradation efficiency of BPA was achieved when the mass ratios of urea and chicken manure, Fe/Mn were 3:1 and 2:1, respectively, and the pyrolysis temperature was 800 °C, which can almost degrade all the BPA in 60 min. FeMn@N-BC/PS system with high catalytic efficiency and low consumables is promising for reuse of waste resources and the remediation of wastewater.

A Low Expression of NRF2 Enhances Oxidative Stress and Autophagy in Myofibroblasts, Promoting Progression of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Authors: Guan Pin , Cai Wentao , Zhong Chunrong , Jiang Fan , Wu Jinchan , Zhai Xin
Published: August 2024

Background:

The inflammation phenotypes are often closely related to oxidative
stress and autophagy pathway activation, which could be developed as a treatment
target.

Aims:

The aim of this study was to explore the underlying mechanism of inflammation
in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Methods:

The lung tissue single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) dataset of GSE171541
was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The marker
genes were obtained from the CellMarker database. “Seurat” and “harmony” R packages
were used for single-cell profiling analysis. Then, the “AUCell” R package was employed
to calculate the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and autophagy pathway scores.
Gene regulation network analysis was performed by applying the “SCENIC” package,
followed by conducting correlation analysis with Spearman’s rank correlation method.
The cigarettes were used to develop a traumatic model in mice, and the expression of relevant
genes was measured by qRT-PCR.

Results:

The scRNA-seq analysis classified 12 cell subgroups in which the contractility
of myofibroblasts was closely associated with the progression of COPD. Further analysis
showed that ROS and autophagy pathways were significantly activated in myofibroblasts
and that the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) and its mediated
oxidative stress pathway were inhibited in myofibroblasts. In addition, the downregulated
NRF2 gene was negatively correlated with the expression of autophagy and ROS activation.
In the traumatic mice model, NRF2 was downregulated in COPD mice but further
elevated in the COPD+NRF2 mice group. Interestingly, the mRNA levels of Kelchlike
ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), NADPH oxidase (NOX), and Cathepsin B (CTSB)
were upregulated in COPD group in comparison to the control group but they were
downregulated by NRF2. These results suggested that low-expressed NFR2 promoted
autophagy and ROS pathway activation in myofibroblasts for COPD progression.

Conclusion:

We identified a cell myofibroblast cluster closely associated with COPD
progression using the scRNA-seq analysis. The downregulated NFR2, as a key risk factor,
mediated myofibroblast death by activating the oxidative stress and autophagy pathway
for COPD progression.
Investigation of Fructus Ligustri Lucidi for Premature Ovarian Insufficiency based on a Network Pharmacology and Experiment Verifications
Authors: Cai Wang-Yu , Luo Xi
Published: August 2024

Introduction:

Premature ovarian insufficiency [POI] is a disease characterized by a
premature decline in ovarian function before the age of 40. In China, Ligustrum lucidum [FLL]
has long been used to improve ovarian function and treat POI.

Methods:

This study aims to verify the effect of FLL on POI through network pharmacology,
molecular docking, and in-vitro cell experiments.

Results:

A total of 13 active substances were screened in FLL, including including quercetin,
taxifolin, luteolin, kaempferol, and beta-sitosterol. Then, network analysis found that FLL may
exert effects on POI through 10 targets, including AR, ESR1, ESR2, KDR, CYP19A1, CLPP,
GC, MMP3, PPARG, and STS. According to GO and KEGG enrichment analysis, FLL is associated
with mechanisms related to estrogen, including steroid hormone biosynthesis, ovarian
steroidogenesis, and the estrogen signaling pathway. Molecular docking confirms the interaction
between the active ingredients of FLL and CYP19A1, which encodes aromatase. CCK8
experiment confirmed that quercetin and taxifolin can enhance the proliferation of KGN granulosa
cells, while quercetin, taxifolin, and kaempferol can inhibit the apoptosis of KGN granulosa
cells. ELISA experiments have confirmed that quercetin, taxifolin, luteolin, and
kaempferol can increase the synthesis of estradiol in KGN granulosa cells. WB confirms that
quercetin can increase the expression level of CYP19A1 in KGN cells.

Conclusion:

FLL can improve the proliferation, apoptosis, and synthesis of estradiol in ovarian
granulosa cells, and has the potential to treat POI.

Advanced Bioceramics: Properties, Fabrication and Applications
Authors: Abd El-Hamid Hanaa. K.
Published: August 2024

Bioceramics are engineered materials that achieve their applications in the medical
field. Bioceramics are promising inorganic materials to create scaffolds for bone regeneration
due to their desirable properties, such as biocompatibility, osteoconduction, and their similarity
with bone composition. Bioceramics can operate as tissue replacement and can be used for coating
metal implants to increase their biocompatibility. Bioceramics are classified into three types:
bioinert ceramics, bioactive bioceramics, and biodegradable ceramics. There are different methods
for the fabrication of bioceramics, they can be prepared by conventional powder processing
methods or by some new unconventional methods. Bioceramics can be fabricated by a sintering
process, which takes place through the hardening of the green bodies at a relatively high temperature
lower than their melting point. Nowadays, microwave sintering is excellent in both heating
efficiency, saving energy and time, and the concomitant processing cost. There are other methods
used to obtain bioceramics; such as sol-gel, gas-foaming, gel-casting, and freeze-casting
techniques. Recently, the CAD/CAM technique (computer-aided design/manufacture) was used
in the fabrication of bioceramics and is applied in the dentistry field. The application of bioceramics
connects to the repair of the skeletal system, which consists of joints, bones, and teeth,
as well as both soft and hard tissues. Bioceramics can be used to replace parts of the cardiovascular
system, especially heart valves.

Published: August 2024

Introduction

In the exquisite tapestry of hospitality, luxury hotels have always concentrated on the comfort of the customer. However, the shifting shades of time unfolded the art of managing customers' emotions to strengthen hotel-customer relationships.

Methods

This trend has resulted in luxury hotels focusing on customers' value co-creation behaviour by weaving the emotions of the customers into a collaborative service symphony and ensuring that customers self-identify themselves with the luxury hotel and its other customers as a tribe. There are scant studies on the contribution of customer value co-creation behaviour towards luxury hotels; therefore, this study aimed to examine the emotional psychology of customers and their behaviour by evaluating a model curated between emotional brand attachment, brand tribalism, and customer value co-creation behaviour. Data for the study were collected by facilitating structured questionnaires to 399 Indian customers of luxury hotels. The proposed model was empirically examined by the structural equation modelling technique.

Results

The results confirmed that emotional brand attachment and brand tribalism positively affect customer value co-creation behaviour. Emotional brand attachment also positively affects brand tribalism in customers of luxury hotels. The findings offer a fresh perspective for marketers, researchers, and academicians by validating that emotions play a vital role in promoting brand tribalism and inducing value co-creation behaviour in the customers of luxury hotels. Additionally, the study validates that brand tribalism affects value co-creation behaviour.

Conclusion

This study is unique as it provides a holistic view of factors that are crucial for luxury hotels in the competitive landscape to promote a collaborative spirit of the customers, progress on relational management, and understand the emotional psychology of the customer.

Demographical characteristics were explored by the method of descriptive analysis.

Results

TB cases reported in Fujian showed an overall downward trend from 2005 to 2021 (in 2005: n=32,728 and in 2021: n=15,155). TB case numbers showed obvious seasonal changes. The majority of TB cases were middle-aged and older adult male patients (45 years and older; n=150,201, 42.6%). Most of the TB cases were farmers (n=166,186, 47.1%), followed by houseworkers and the unemployed (n=48,828, 13.8%) and workers (n=34,482, 9.8%). Etiologically positive TB cases continue to be the main source of TB cases (n=159,702, 45.3%). Spatially, the reported TB cases were mainly distributed in cities in southeastern Fujian, especially at the county level. TB case numbers showed 2 spatial groups; cases within each group shared similar case characteristics. In terms of geographical distribution, TB showed obvious spatial correlation, and local areas showed high aggregation.

Conclusions

The TB incidence trend decreased annually in Fujian Province. TB cases distributed commonly in the male population, middle-aged and older people, and farmers. Etiologically positive cases are still the main source of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. TB incidence is higher in the cities with a developed economy and large population in the southeast. TB control should be strengthened in these populations and areas, such as via early screening of cases and management of confirmed cases.

Background

Although tobacco use has significantly declined in the general population, traditional tobacco use treatment uptake and success rates remain disproportionately low among people who identify as African American/Black, Hispanic/Latina/o, and American Indian/Alaska Native. Technology-based interventions (TBIs) for tobacco use are promising alternatives to traditional tobacco use treatments.

Objective

This scoping review aims to investigate the extent to which the use of digital TBIs in tobacco use treatment research promotes health equity among people who identify as African American/Black, Hispanic/Latina/o, and American Indian/Alaska Native.

Methods

This scoping review identifies US-based studies (between January 2000 and March 2021) that enlist TBIs for tobacco use treatment and include people who identify as African American/Black, Hispanic/Latina/o, and American Indian/Alaska Native at ≥50% of the sample when combined; features studies that are also race and ethnicity conscious; and highlights health equity–promoting insights from included studies.

Results

In 85% (22/26) of the studies, the largest proportion of the sample was African American/Black, most participants had low socioeconomic status, and recruitment was most commonly from medical settings. In total, 58% (15/26) of the studies were race and ethnicity conscious, and 67% (10/15) of these studies sought to partner with potential end users. An array of TBIs were represented; however, SMS text messaging was most prevalent. Most TBIs were combined with other evidence-based intervention components (eg, nicotine replacement therapy). Approximately one-third of the studies (8/26, 31%) required participants to have their own device or internet access. The majority were underpowered to detect substantial differences.

Conclusions

The modest number of studies, particularly for persons who identify as Hispanic/Latina/o and American Indian/Alaska Native, demonstrates the limited application of TBIs for tobacco use and that additional research is needed to determine the extent to which TBIs for tobacco use promote health equity among these populations.

A Serious Game for Enhancing Rescue Reasoning Skills in Tactical Combat Casualty Care: Development and Deployment Study
Authors: Zhu Siyue , Li Zenan , Sun Ying , Kong Linghui , Yin Ming , Yong Qinge , Gao Yuan
Published: August 2024

Background

Serious games (SGs) have emerged as engaging and instructional digital simulation tools that are increasingly being used for military medical training. SGs are often compared with traditional media in terms of learning outcomes, but it remains unclear which of the 2 options is more efficient and better accepted in the process of knowledge acquisition.

Objective

This study aimed to create and test a scenario-based system suitable for enhancing rescue reasoning skills in tactical combat casualty care.

Methods

To evaluate the effectiveness of the SGs, a randomized, observational, comparative trial was conducted. A total of 148 members from mobile medical logistics teams were recruited for training. Pre- and posttraining assessments were conducted using 2 different formats: a video-based online course (n=78) and a game simulation (n=70). We designed 3 evaluation instruments based on the first 2 levels of the Kirkpatrick model (reaction and learning) to measure trainees’ satisfaction, knowledge proficiency, and self-confidence.

Results

There were 4 elements that made up the learning path for the SGs: microcourses (video-based online courses), self-test, game simulation, and record query. The knowledge test scores in both groups were significantly higher after the intervention (t154=–6.010 and t138=–7.867, respectively; P<.001). For 5 simulation cases, the average operation time was 13.6 (SD 3.3) minutes, and the average case score was 279.0 (SD 57.6) points (from a possible total of 500 points), with a score rate of only 44% (222/500 points) to 67% (336/500 points). The results indicated no significant difference in trainees’ satisfaction between the 2 training methods (P=.04). However, the game simulation method outperformed the video-based online course in terms of learning proficiency (t146=–2.324, P=.02) and self-perception (t146=–5.492, P<.001).

Conclusions

Despite the high satisfaction reported by trainees for both training methods, the game simulation approach demonstrated superior efficiency and acceptance in terms of knowledge acquisition, self-perception, and overall performance. The developed SG holds significant potential as an essential assessment tool for evaluating frontline rescue skills and rescue reasoning in mobile medical logistics teams.

BACKGROUND

 Participating in surveys can shape the perception of participants related to the study topic. Administering a vaccine hesitancy questionnaire can have negative impacts on participants’ vaccine confidence. This is particularly true for online and cross-cultural data collection because culturally safe health education to correct misinformation is typically not provided after the administration of an electronic survey.

OBJECTIVE

 To create a culturally safe, online, COVID-19 vaccine confidence survey for Indigenous youth designed to collect authentic, culturally relevant data of their vaccine experiences, with a low risk of contributing to further vaccine confusion among participants.

METHODS

 Using the Aboriginal Telehealth Knowledge Circle consensus method, a team of academics, health care providers, policy makers, and community partners reviewed COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy surveys used in public health research, analyzed potential risks, and created a framework for electronic Indigenous vaccine confidence surveys as well as survey items.

RESULTS

 The framework for safer online survey items is based on 2 principles, a first do-no-harm approach and applying a strengths-based lens. Relevant survey domains identified in the process include sociodemographic information, participants’ connection to their community, preferred sources for health information, vaccination uptake among family members and peers, as well as personal attitudes toward vaccines. A total of 44 survey items were developed, including 5 open-ended items to improve the authenticity of the data and the analysis of the experiences of Indigenous youth.

CONCLUSIONS

 Using an Indigenous consensus method, we have developed an online COVID-19 vaccine confidence survey with culturally relevant domains and reduced the risk of amplifying misinformation and negative impacts on vaccine confidence among Indigenous participants. Our approach can be adapted to other online survey development in collaboration with Indigenous communities.
Co-design of a Digital Nutrition Application (DNA) Tool for identifying food preferences and malnutrition in older adults in care homes. (Preprint)
Authors: Connelly Jenni , Swingler Kevin , Rodriguez-Sanchez Nidia , Whittaker Anna C
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Malnutrition is a challenge among older adults and can result in serious health consequences. However, the dietary intake monitoring needed to identify malnutrition for early intervention is affected by issues like difficulty remembering or needing a dietitian to interpret the results.

OBJECTIVE

To co-design a tool using automated food classification to monitor dietary intake and food preferences, as well as food-related symptoms and mood and hunger ratings, for use in care homes.

METHODS

An advisory group co-designed the tool features. A small or medium enterprise (SME) developed a prototype tool where the user takes a photo of a meal pre- and post-eating, it links to a database of foods, and associates meals with symptoms and ratings. A second version was tested with older adults/care staff. Feedback refined a third version and a new advisory group suggested design adaptations for care homes. Four care homes tested this and identified barriers to usability and features to enhance value. Systematic text condensation was used to describe themes across the different types of data.

RESULTS

Key features identified included ratings of hunger, mood, and gastrointestinal symptoms that could be associated with eating specific foods, and a traffic light system to indicate risk. Issues included staff time, Wi-Fi connectivity, recognition of pureed food, and fortification. Different models for potential use and commercialisation were identified, including peer-use between residents to support less able residents, staff-only use of the tool, care home-personalised database menus for easy photo selection, and continued measurement in highest risk residents only using the traffic light system.

CONCLUSIONS

The tool was deemed useful for monitoring dietary habits and associated symptoms, but further design improvements that are needed were identified. These would need to be incorporated prior to formal evaluation of the tool as an intervention in this setting. Co-design was vital to help make the tool fit for the setting and users targeted.
