“Doctors asked if we are sisters or friends”: Experiences of 2S/LGBTQIA+ couples in the context of medically assisted reproduction
Authors: Benoit Zoé , Rosen Natalie O. , Renaud Mathilde , Bergeron Sophie , Brassard Audrey , Péloquin Katherine
Published: December 2024

Although 20% of couples who seek medically assisted reproduction (MAR) identify as 2S/LGBTQIA+, MAR services are primarily based on a medical/cisgender definition of infertility, failing to account for 2S/LGBTQIA+ individuals’ experience of social infertility—that is, their inability to conceive due to their relationship status. Whereas the consequences of the MAR process on various aspects of mixed-gender/sex couples have been demonstrated (e.g., emotional, relationship, sexuality, social life), the generalization of this knowledge to the 2S/LGBTQIA+ community remains unexplored. This qualitative study aimed to explore the specific impacts of MAR on different aspects of 58 Canadian 2S/LGBTQIA+ couples’ lives. While participants were asked about the impact of their MAR journey on the various spheres of their lives, the thematic analysis revealed that what proved most central to their experience were the barriers they encountered to access sensitive and inclusive care, echoing themes from existing literature such as heteronormativity and cisnormativity, a lack of tailored services, psychological distress triggered by the MAR process, and experiences of stigma and discrimination. Other themes outside the healthcare context were also identified: financial burden, a lack of social models and support systems, the emotional toll of repeatedly coming out, and microaggressions from family members. These findings underscore the urgent need for targeted research and reforms in reproductive healthcare to better serve 2S/LGBTQIA+ couples and address the systemic barriers they face.
Sex-specific need fulfillment in relationships and sexual and relationship well-being

Published: December 2024

Sexual activity can provide important opportunities for fulfilling experiences that contribute to greater relationship satisfaction and overall well-being, yet young adults are reporting fewer partnered sexual interactions. According to self-determination theory, when people perceive their needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness are met in relationships, they report greater relationship and sexual well-being, whereas need frustration contributes to relationship dysfunction and dissatisfaction. In the current cross-sectional study, we extend these ideas to a sexual context. We hypothesized that sex-specific need satisfaction would be associated with higher sexual desire, sexual satisfaction and relationship satisfaction and lower sexual distress beyond that of general need satisfaction within one’s relationship. We expected opposite associations for sex-specific need frustration. Partnered individuals aged 18–29 ( N = 197) completed online measures of sexual and relationship need satisfaction and frustration, sexual desire, sexual and relationship satisfaction, and sexual distress. Controlling for need satisfaction within the relationship, which was associated with higher desire and satisfaction, multivariate regression analyses indicated that sex-specific need satisfaction was associated with higher sexual desire, higher sexual and relationship satisfaction, and lower sexual distress. Furthermore, sex-specific need frustration was associated with higher sexual distress. While need satisfaction in one’s relationship and sex life may have benefits for sexual desire and sexual and relationship satisfaction, promoting need satisfaction and minimizing need frustration specific to sex may be helpful in minimizing sexual distress. Implications for researchers and clinicians highlight the importance of distinguishing between psychological need satisfaction (and frustration) across different relational contexts.
MODELING APPROACH TO URBAN VULNERABILITY TO FLOODING IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA OF ANNABA
Authors: Salah Sid  , Boureboune Lamia
Published: December 2024

Historically, natural hazards have been a constant presence in Mediterranean regions. Earthquakes, eruptions, and floods frequently impact various territories, underscoring this reality. Consequently, governments have prioritized the establishment of prevention, management, and alert systems, making fundamental applied research essential for the ongoing development of these nations. Algeria has experienced numerous natural disasters in the past, particularly those associated with major earthquakes, such as the El Asnam earthquake on October 10, 1980, the Boumerdes earthquake on May 21, 2003, the Bab El Oued floods on November 10, 2001, and more recently, the Ghardaia floods on October 1, 2008.The general living conditions in Algeria, especially in urban areas, are characterized by insufficient management of various issues, largely due to rapid growth. This has at times led to unregulated and uncontrolled urban expansion, with developments on riverbeds, unstable slopes, and other high-risk areas. Such urbanization fails to consider the persistent presence of natural hazards, which are further intensified by climate change.Our objective is to identify the primary causes of natural risks and disasters in urban areas. This study includes an illustrative case in the intermunicipal area of Annaba, located in northeastern Algeria, where flood risk remains significant. The study aims to assess the impact of climate change and the support provided for crisis prevention and management within a sustainable framework.

Authors: Bomfim Maelise da Silva , Querino Ana Célia
Published: December 2024

Esta pesquisa pretende discutir o direito à educação da pessoa autista, buscando demonstrar suas necessidades e dificuldades encontradas no processo de inserção e inclusão no âmbito escolar. Trata-se de um trabalho bibliográfico-exploratório delimitando o conceito de autismo, perpassando pelo direito fundamental à educação na Constituição Federal/88 e no contexto do Estatuto da Pessoa com Deficiência, e, por fim, analisa-se a relação autismo-deficiência, bem como a importância da educação inclusiva nas escolas. Busca-se oferecer contributos à exegese da legislação brasileira acerca da garantia do direito à educação para pessoas portadoras de autismo e ainda, perscrutar mecanismos de efetivação de tal direito na situação do estudante com autismo, no ambiente da escola inclusiva. Para garantir que pessoas autistas recebam uma educação adequada, é importante uma colaboração entre pais ou responsáveis, professores e outros membros da comunidade escolar, além de políticas que garantam a inclusão e acessibilidade educacional. A pesquisa elucida que mesmo diante das legislações favoráveis, em virtude de políticas públicas pouco promissoras, ainda vemos barreiras e dificuldades a serem superadas, acreditando-se na educação inclusiva como direito fundamental e garantia do desenvolvimento pleno das pessoas autistas.

Published: December 2024

O presente artigo explora a interseção entre Direitos Humanos e arte, analisando como a arte e suas manifestações culturais podem refletir a realidade acerca das violações dos direitos humanos em dois diferentes cenários: o Brasil na ditadura da segunda metade do século XX, bem como no conturbado período da segunda guerra mundial em âmbito global e suas implicações na atualidade. Por essa razão, a metodologia inclui uma análise crítica de obras artísticas selecionadas como "Alegoria de Justiça" de Igor Vidor e músicas como "Cálice" de Chico Buarque., destacando o papel transformador da arte na sociedade. Como resultado, conclui-se que a arte pode transcender seu papel meramente estético, podendo atuar como uma ferramenta de resistência contra a violência do Estado, refletindo diferentes formas de compreensão dos Direitos Humanos.
Fake Officers/Real Police
Authors: Rodrigues Eduardo de Oliveira
Published: December 2024

Rio de Janeiro is notorious for police excess. Police are seen to operate beyond the law, garnering prestige and resources in the process. Yet this does not sully the status or desirability of the profession. Policing is a sought-after occupation, and many who apply for it cannot join. I examine one subset of these would-be officers, called pi-lícias, who make incursions into policing by impersonating officials. In contrast to the common view that impersonation threatens police authority, I show that pi-lícias extend the range of official policing and amplify its power. Taking fakeness as a force in itself, I argue that pi-lícias, precisely by lacking officialdom, allow for the thriving of extra-judicial powers on which the authority of the city's police is grounded.
Navigating Fiscal Federalism in Pakistan: Balancing Decentralization and Economic Stability Post-18th Amendment
Authors: Raza Muhammad Asif
Published: December 2024

This paper critically examines Pakistan’s fiscal federalism and highlights the challenges posed by the 18th Constitutional Amendment 2010. The research is contextualized within the broader theoretical framework of fiscal federalism. Although intended to decentralize power and grant fiscal autonomy to provinces, the amendment has created structural fiscal issues, especially within the National Finance Commission. Locking of the provincial NFC share, lack of consensus building on the NFC Award since 2009, stagnant fiscal space and tax-to-GDP ratio, vertical fiscal imbalance, and absence of a joint fiscal responsibility mechanism have a negative bearing on the macroeconomic stability of Pakistan. Limited fiscal decentralization to local governments further restricts equitable development at the grassroots level. Key recommendations include operationalizing the NFC Secretariat, revising fiscal frameworks, incentivizing provincial tax efforts, and enhancing collaboration through the Council of Common Interest to strengthen fiscal management and cohesion.
Materials of the Early Tulkhar necropolis in the light of the hypothesis of Andronovo population migration to the south: problems of chronology
Authors: Sotnikova Svetlana V.
Published: December 2024

The new materials and the new calibrated radiocarbon dates significantly amend the understanding of many processes that took place during the Bronze Age both in Central Asia and far outside of it. Materials of the Early Tulkhar Necropolis (South Tajikistan) are often used to prove active contacts between the steppe livestock-farming Andornovo people and the settled crop-farming Central Asia people. Andronovo influences in the first place are found in the cremated burials of this necropolis. E.E. Kuzmina considers these burials archaeological evidence of her hypothesis about the Andronovo people (Indo-Aryans) migrating across Central Asia (Bishkent culture) to the North-West Pakistan (Swat culture) and North India. The new materials and the new calibrated radiocarbon dates recently appeared. They prevent relating the Andronovo people and the cremated burials in the Early Tulkhar Necropolis. The South Urals Fedorovo culture stands out with cremated burials and dates back to 1742–1451 calBC according to the latest data. The Tulkhar cremated burials appeared a lot earlier, namely no later than in the early 3rd millennium BC. The new dates also throw a shadow of doubt over the Andronovo people participating in establishment of the Bishkent culture in Central Asia, in migration of the Bishkent culture southward and its contribution to Swat culture in the North-West Pakistan. Probably, the process went otherwise. The author believes that the cremated burials in the Early Tulkhar Necropolis can be associated with particular small groups of people moving from Balochistan (Kulli culture) or the North-West Pakistan (Swat culture). The new dates change the perspective of the process that used to be considered the result of the Andronovo culture influence of the Bronze Age livestock-farming and crop-farming cultures in Central Asia. Cremated burials in the Sapalli culture necropolises in Central Asia (Bustan VI, Djarkutan 4a) should not be directly associated with the impact or contribution of the Andronovo Fedorovo people. Furthermore, as a matter of a fact, particular groups of Andronovo people regularly entered Central Asia throughout the entire Andornovo culture period. This allows to assume that Central Asia is exactly the place to reveal the origin of the Andronovo cremation rite.
Genetic evaluation of Juniperus Communis var. oblonga (Cupressaceae) in Caucasus Regions of Russia based on nSSR Markers
Authors: Hantemirova E. V.
Published: December 2024

Ten populations of Caucasian juniper J. communis var. oblonga were analyzed using seven microsatellite nSSR loci to draw conclusions about migration routes and genetic relationships with populations in the northern part of their range. These new data were combined with data previously obtained from the main Eurasian range. The results of nSSR analysis confirm the data on the cpDNA structure of J. communis var. oblonga about the existence of a deep divergence between the populations of the eastern part of the Greater Caucasus and the populations of the main range, which is likely due to the long-term isolation of juniper in this part of the Caucasus. At the same time, the results indicate the existence of a juniper gene flow from the main range towards the Western Caucasus, which was more intense with seeds. The migration routes of birds established during interglacial periods contributed to the dispersal of seeds over long distances and contacts of juniper from the main part of its range with juniper in the western part of the Caucasus, which was reflected in the structure of nuclear DNA.

Published: December 2024

Volcanic sequences of bimodal basalt–trachyte–alkaline-rhyolite character with alkaline granites are widespread in the Central Mongolia. They outcrop within small sublatitudinal grabens scattered along the southern and western frame of the Khentey part of the Mongol-Okhotsk Belt. According to geochronological data, the bimodal magmatic activity occurred from the end of Triassic to start of Jurassic (220–195 Ma). Many rocks of bimodal sequences have high alkali content and rare metal signatures. Fractionation crystallization was the leading process causes an attainment of ore-level rare elements concentrations in the most differentiated melts. Mafic magmas enriched relative to the OIB in the majority of incompatible trace elements were primary melts for all rocks of these associations. At the same time, they show increased Ba and depleted Ta and Nb contents testify to participation of lithospheric mantle component in their source. The Nd and Sr isotopic ratios of the rocks corresponds to at least two magma sources identified as enriched asthenospheric mantle and subduction-modified lithospheric mantle. Bimodal magmatism in the Khentey segment of the Mongol-Okhotsk belt appeared ~30 Ma after the collision caused by the closure of the Ada-Tsag branch of the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean at about 250 Ma. Rifting occurred along the entire frame of the Khentey segment of the belt and controlled this magmatism. It was initiated by collapse of the orogen with delamination of its keel caused the involvement of asthenospheric mantle in the Late Triassic–Early Jurassic magmatism of the region.

Tomato are vegetable commodity with high economic value and widely consumed by Indonesian people. The increase in tomato consumption is not matched by an increase in production. Tomato production in Manggarai Regency has decreased due to excessive use of inorganic fertilizers. Providing organic materials with rice washing water and coconut water can reduce the use of inorganic fertilizers. This study aims to determine the effect of rice washing water and coconut water on tomato growth, and determining the appropriate concentration of rice washing water and coconut water to increase tomato growth. This study was conducted in September-November 2023 on the Food Security and Horticulture Demonstration Plot of Kodim 1612 Manggarai. This study used a non-factorial Randomized Block Design in the form of coconut water and rice washing water consisting concentrations with 4 levels (0 ml rice washing water + 0 ml coconut water; 250 ml rice washing water + 250 ml coconut water; 350 ml rice washing water + 150 ml coconut water; 450 ml rice washing water + 50 ml coconut water) and each treatment was four repeated. The study showed that the concentration of rice washing water and coconut water had a significant effect on plant height, number of leaves, leaf area and stem diameter in tomato plants, but had no significant effect on the number of branches. The concentration of 450 ml rice washing water + 50 ml coconut water can produce the tallest plant (155.24 cm) and the highest number of branches (11.65 branches), while a concentration of 250 ml rice washing water + 250 ml coconut water can produce the highest number of leaves (197.43 leaves), highest leaf area (36.23 cm2) and highest stem diameter (0.88 cm).

Published: December 2024

Literasi kesehatan gigi pada ibu merupakan salah satu faktor penting yang dapat mempengaruhi kesehatan gigi anak. Dalam komunitas dengan tingkat pendidikan dan kesadaran kesehatan yang rendah, risiko karies gigi pada anak cenderung lebih tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji hubungan antara literasi kesehatan gigi ibu dengan status karies gigi anak di wilayah kumuh Kota Makassar. Penelitian ini merupakan studi cross-sectional dengan melibatkan 101 pasangan ibu dan anak di Kota Makassar. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner literasi kesehatan gigi yang diisi oleh ibu, serta pemeriksaan indeks karies gigi anak menggunakan indeks def-t. Analisis statistik dilakukan untuk menilai hubungan antara tingkat literasi kesehatan gigi ibu dan indeks karies gigi anak, serta pengaruh faktor sosiodemografis. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian didapatkan tingkat literasi kesehatan gigi ibu pada penelitian ini terbagi menjadi tiga kategori, yaitu rendah (34,7%), sedang (34,7%), dan tinggi (30,7%). Hasil analisis menunjukkan tidak ada hubungan yang signifikan antara literasi kesehatan gigi ibu dan status karies gigi anak (p=0,113). Meskipun demikian, terdapat tren penurunan indeks karies gigi anak seiring meningkatnya literasi kesehatan gigi ibu. Selain itu, analisis komparatif menunjukkan adanya hubungan yang signifikan antara tingkat pendidikan ibu dan literasi kesehatan gigi (p=0,003). Kesimpulan pada penelitian ini adalah meskipun hubungan langsung antara literasi kesehatan gigi ibu dan status karies gigi anak tidak signifikan, peningkatan literasi kesehatan gigi tetap penting dalam upaya pencegahan karies gigi pada anak. Intervensi yang berfokus pada peningkatan literasi kesehatan gigi ibu, terutama di kalangan masyarakat berpendidikan rendah, diharapkan dapat menurunkan angka kejadian karies gigi pada anak-anak.
Uji Efektivitas Daun Alamanda (Allamanda cathartica L)Terhadap Larvasida Jentik Aedes aegypti

Published: December 2024

Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD) merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan masyarakat yang serius, terutama di daerah endemis seperti Indonesia. Penyakit ini dapat menyebabkan Kejadian Luar Biasa (KLB) dengan angka kematian yang tinggi. Berdasarkan data Kementerian Kesehatan, hingga 14 Juni 2021, terdapat 16.320 kasus DBD di Indonesia, dengan peningkatan sebanyak 6.417 kasus dibandingkan periode sebelumnya. Salah satu upaya untuk mengendalikan penyebaran DBD adalah dengan membunuh jentik nyamuk Aedes aegypti, vektor utama penyebar penyakit ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas ekstrak daun alamanda (Allamanda cathartica L.) dalam mematikan jentik Aedes aegypti, dengan menggunakan indikator Lethal Concentration 80 (LC80), yaitu konsentrasi yang mampu membunuh 80% populasi jentik.Penelitian ini menggunakan sampel sebanyak 250 ekor jentik Aedes aegypti dengan 3 replikasi untuk setiap perlakuan, yang terdiri dari konsentrasi ekstrak daun alamanda sebesar 35%, 45%, dan 50%, serta 0% sebagai kontrol. Jentik diamati selama 24 jam untuk mengetahui tingkat kematian yang disebabkan oleh berbagai konsentrasi ekstrak. Pada konsentrasi 35%, total rata-rata kematian jentik adalah 3 ekor (12%). Pada konsentrasi 45%, rata-rata kematian meningkat menjadi 5 ekor (20%), dan pada konsentrasi 50%, rata-rata kematian tetap sebesar 5 ekor (20%). Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa konsentrasi ekstrak daun alamanda yang digunakan tidak mencapai tingkat kematian 80%. Ekstrak daun alamanda pada konsentrasi 35%, 45%, dan 50% belum efektif untuk mematikan jentik Aedes aegypti karena persentase kematian yang dihasilkan masih jauh dari LC80. Penelitian lebih lanjut diperlukan untuk menemukan konsentrasi yang lebih optimal atau mengkombinasikan dengan metode lain dalam pengendalian jentik nyamuk.

Published: December 2024

Peningkatan beban kerja dan tuntutan produktivitas di sektor industri telah memengaruhi kesehatan fisik dan mental pekerja, khususnya pekerja lapangan yang menghadapi tantangan berat setiap hari. Pekerja lapangan yang seringkali menghadapi berbagai tantangan fisik dan mental setiap hari dapat berisiko mengalami masalah kesehatan salah satunya yaitu stres kerja. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi hubungan antara Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) dan kelelahan kerja dengan tingkat stres kerja pada pekerja lapangan di PT X. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah observasi analitik dengan pendekatan Cross Sectional. Sebanyak 151 pekerja lapangan di PT X diambil sebagai sampel dengan menggunakan teknik total sampling. Alat pengukuran yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kuesioner FAS (Fatigue Assessment Scale) untuk menilai tingkat kelelahan kerja, kuesioner workplace stress place untuk mengukur tingkat stres kerja serta data tinggi dan berat badan untuk menghitung Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) responden. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan uji spearman’s rank. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya hubungan positif yang cukup kuat antara IMT dan stres kerja, dengan koefisien korelasi Spearman sebesar 0,487 (p < 0,001). IMT yang lebih tinggi sering kali dikaitkan dengan masalah kesehatan seperti obesitas, yang dapat menyebabkan gangguan fisik seperti nyeri otot dan penurunan kapasitas fisik. Kondisi ini dapat memperburuk beban kerja fisik, meningkatkan risiko kelelahan, dan pada akhirnya mempengaruhi kesejahteraan mental pekerja. Selain itu, hubungan positif yang kuat juga ditemukan antara kelelahan kerja dan stres kerja, dengan koefisien korelasi sebesar 0,529 (p < 0,001). Kelelahan kerja yang berlebihan dapat menurunkan kemampuan pekerja dalam menghadapi tuntutan pekerjaan, memperlambat produktivitas, serta meningkatkan risiko kecelakaan di tempat kerja. Kondisi ini juga dapat memicu gangguan kesehatan mental seperti kecemasan dan depresi. Temuan ini menekankan pentingnya pendekatan dalam manajemen kesehatan di tempat kerja. Perusahaan perlu mempertimbangkan kesehatan fisik (IMT) dan kelelahan kerja sebagai bagian dari kesejahteraan karyawan untuk meminimalkan stres kerja.

Praca koncentruje się na przeglądzie nowoczesnych metod leczenia nowotworów, które nie wymagają stosowania tradycyjnych leków farmakologicznych. Omawia ona różnorodne podejścia, takie jak terapia genowa, immunoterapia, w tym przeciwciała monoklonalne i terapie CAR-T oraz nanotechnologia, skupiając się na przybliżeniu podstawowych mechanizmów działania poszczególnych terapii, produkcji terapeutyków oraz przykładów badań z ich wykorzystaniem.
Terapia genowa to zdolność do modyfikacji genetycznych w celu uzyskania ekspresji transferowanego genu, hamowania ekspresji lub modyfikowania ściśle określonego genu. W celu transfekcji terapeutycznego genu stosowane są wektory wirusowe lub nie wirusowe, które zostały szczegółowo omówione. Przeciwciała monoklonalne to immunoglobuliny, których celem jest zwalczanie patogenów, które wraz z rozwojem nauki zaczęto wykorzystywać w terapii nowotworów. Ich biosynteza odbywa się z wykorzystaniem myszy, a w celu zmniejszenia ich immunogenności zostają one poddane humanizacji. W przypadku terapii CAR-T, wykorzystywane są pobrane limfocyty T pacjenta w celu ich modyfikacji genetycznej i nadania komórce swoistości wobec danego antygenu, co powoduje zdolności do niszczenia komórek nowotworowych. Nanotechnologia stanowi odrębną metodę leczenia nowotworów poprzez precyzyjne kierowanie enkapsulowanego leku do komórek nowotworowych, jak również narzędzie wykorzystywane w terapii genowej. Obecnie w terapii stosowane są leki, za których produkcją stoją omówione w pracy biotechnologiczne metody ich otrzymywania.
W przypadku konwencjonalnych metod terapii nowotworów, pacjenci mierzą się z dotkliwymi skutkami ubocznymi farmakoterapii lub radioterapii, brakiem możliwości ingerencji chirurgicznej lub brakiem reakcji organizmu na terapię. Praca podkreśla potencjał nowoczesnych metod biotechnologicznych w stworzeniu terapii o mniejszych skutkach ubocznych, jednocześnie wskazując na konieczność dalszych badań nad ich bezpieczeństwem i efektywnością. Nowości zawarte w pracy to: Innowacyjne podejścia terapeutyczne, Nanotechnologia w leczeniu nowotworów, Potencjał terapii CAR-T, Zastosowanie wektorów wirusowych.
Draft Model Knows When to Stop: A Self-Verification Length Policy for Speculative Decoding
Authors: Zhang Ziyin , Xu Jiahao , Liang Tian , Chen Xingyu , He Zhiwei , Wang Rui , Tu Zhaopeng
Published: December 2024

Speculative Decoding (SD) has become an important technique in accelerating the inference speed of large language models. Conventional SD methods employ a fixed draft length, which ignores the token generation difficulty across tasks. Consequently, in this paper, we address such an issue and introduce SVIP - a difficulty-aware dynamic draft length policy for speculative decoding systems. Based on a theoretical lower bound of draft token acceptance rate and its inference-time approximation, SVIP adaptively determines the lengths of draft sequences based on the entropy of each draft token distribution. Experimental results on mainstream SD benchmarks and frameworks demonstrate the superior performance of SVIP, achieving up to 20% walltime speedup on SpecBench over baseline SD methods and 60% speedup on MT-Bench for long-form generation of up to 8K tokens. Moreover, SVIP is totally training-free and compatible with any existing SD methods that generate draft tokens autoregressively. Experimental results also show that SVIP yields consistent walltime improvement on top of GliDe & CaPE and EAGLE-2.
Increasing respiratory syncytial virus vaccination rates through a provider education program : a quality improvement project
Authors: Calabretta Emily
Published: December 2024

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) primarily affects the lower respiratory tract and can lead to severe respiratory illness, particularly in older adults and those with compromised immune systems. Currently, there is no cure for RSV; hence, prevention through vaccination is critical. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved single-dose vaccines for adults aged 60 years and older, recommended for administration prior to the RSV season. Methods. This quality improvement (QI) project aimed to assess the impact of an RSV vaccine informational session tailored to primary care providers on vaccination rates among adults aged 60 years and older attending a primary care clinic in Oakland, California. The intervention included a single informational session in June 2024, covering vaccination benefits, addressing vaccine hesitancy, and documentation guidelines. Chart reviews were conducted at two time points: April to June 2024 (T1) and July to September 2024 (T2), with 132 charts reviewed at each timepoint. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests were used for data analysis. Results. There were a total of 264 patients sampled, with no RSV vaccinations documented in T1 and seven (2.7%) documented in T2. There was a statistically significant increase in vaccination rates between T1 and T2 (p = .01). The use of provider-led discussion ICD-10 codes also increased significantly between T1 and T2 (p = .005). However, overall RSV vaccine uptake remained low. Conclusion. The RSV vaccine informational session improved vaccination rates and provider-led discussions. Despite these improvements, overall vaccination uptake was minimal, indicating the need for continued efforts to address vaccine hesitancy and enhance provider engagement in vaccine promotion. Future interventions should include electronic medical record (EMR) alerts to support vaccination eligibility identification and repeated educational sessions to sustain change over time.

Published: December 2024

The «Nature–Technology» closed-loop control system in the form of production and power enterprises is considered. The implementation of such a closed-loop control system is aimed at solving the general problem of minimizing pollutant emissions of production and power enterprises. This system is composed of the following main components: control object, converters, measuring devices, control devices, control laws, and actuators. This paper relies on the authors’ previous research into the interaction between production and power enterprises at a meta level. In this study, the authors propose macro-level mathematical models with the purpose of synthesizing the control system of production and power enterprises. The criterion for control synthesis is to minimize the control error of emissions commonly encountered in industrial production. The macro-level mathematical models are represented as a multidimensional control system. Control synthesis is reduced to a parametric synthesis of PID-controllers. Construction of the «Nature–Technology» closed-loop control system of production and power enterprises depends on the pollutant type and, along with the conventional links of a control system, includes absorbers, catalysts, chemical adsorbers, filters, and other actuator links.

Purpose of the work: Development of a method for measuring the elastic and piezoelectric properties of piezoelectric materials over the frequency range of several hertz to several kilohertz. Materials and methods: The object of the research is film-polymer piezoelectric materials of the PVDF type. A composite oscillator is used as a method of investigation, which consists of a bimorph cantilever piezoelectric element that performs bending vibrations. Results: Calculated ratios similar to those for a longitudinal complex oscillator have been obtained, allowing the resonant frequency of the main mode of vibration of the studied plate to be calculated from the frequencies of a reference plate and a bimorph as a whole. Conclusion: The results obtained are intended to study the properties of materials in the low-frequency range.
