La judicialización del parto. Un ejercicio de injusticia epistémica testimonial
Authors: Granero Ferrer Rebeca
Published: March 2023

La violencia obstétrica es un concepto internacionalmente reconocido bajo el que se concentran múltiples prácticas abusivas, entre las que se pueden encontrar desde agresiones físicas y abusos verbales, a retenciones en centros hospitalarios o esterilizaciones forzosas (OMS, 2014). La violencia obstétrica es una forma de violencia de género que reproduce una situación de discriminación estructural contra las mujeres (Šimonović, 2019). Resulta incomprensible que mujeres con plena capacidad y reconocimiento de derechos, experimenten diariamente estos abusos que, a pesar de su heterogeneidad, se ejercen en prácticamente todos los contextos gineco-obstétricos del mundo. Entre estos abusos, debemos enmarcar la judicialización del parto como una práctica compleja de violencia en la que los sujetos reproductivos son desestimados como sujetos de conocimiento y sujetos de derechos. A pesar de su escasez, las intervenciones judiciales durante el parto conllevan una vulneración de múltiples derechos fundamentales y limitan la capacidad de las mujeres para tomar decisiones sobre sus cuerpos y sus procesos reproductivos. Entre ellas se encuentra la reciente decisión del Tribunal Constitucional Español (STC 66/2022), popularmente conocida como «Caso Oviedo». Poniendo especial énfasis en la ausencia del principio de audiencia a lo largo del proceso judicial, la desestimación de este recurso de amparo marca una tendencia palpable en la que los sujetos reproductivos son configurados como sujetos de dudosa validez epistémica. El silenciamiento de las mujeres y la desautorización de sus testimonios en los ámbitos de salud reproductiva, así como en el sistema judicial y administrativo deben ser considerados como actos de injusticia epistémica testimonial. En la base de estas injusticias yace una falta de reconocimiento de las mujeres como sujetos epistémicos a partir un déficit de credibilidad constante que las sitúa en la periferia de la producción del conocimiento. Este desplazamiento debe ser entendido como un acto de opresión articulado por unas condiciones estructurales que mantienen a las mujeres fuera de los espacios retóricos donde, tanto la disciplina obstétrica como el derecho, determinan hegemónicamente quién sabe y qué conocimientos cuentan.
Los programas de cumplimiento frente a los principios del Derecho penal. Una misión imposible
Authors: Rodríguez Vázquez Virxilio , Torres Cadavid Natalia
Published: March 2023

En este trabajo se exponen las razones para pensar que los programas de cumplimiento suponen una quiebra de algunos de los principios orientadores del ius puniendi. Paradójicamente, esta quiebra no va en el sentido de permitir desbordar el ius puniendi, sino en el sentido de deslegitimar la acción punitiva del Estado. Primero, los programas de cumplimiento suponen una quiebra del principio de legalidad, tanto si se defiende un modelo de autorresponsabilidad como de heterorresponsabilidad de las personas jurídicas. Segundo, ponen en entredicho el principio de eficacia de la norma penal, en tanto en cuanto las posibilidades de su aplicación quedan condicionadas a la autogestión reguladora de los elemento de la responsabilidad penal de las personas jurídicas supone eludir el principio de lesividad o exclusiva protección de bienes jurídicos, particularmente así desde un modelo de autorresponsabilidad.

El trabajo “transnacional”. Retos presentes y futuros de la ejecución de servicios extraterritoriales
Authors: Fotinopoulos Basurko Olga
Published: March 2023

El objeto de este trabajo es realizar una reflexión sobre la problemática derivada de los conflictos jurídico-laborales que surgen de la prestación de servicios plurilocalizada no sujeta al modelo tradicional de trabajador que presta servicios con carácter habitual en un lugar físico-territorial en el que se va a insertarsocio-económicamente hablando. Así, se analizan desde la perspectiva de la Ley aplicable los supuestos de extraterritorialidad en la ejecución de servicios. Se parte del análisis de los supuestos clásicos de trabajos ejecutados en el dominio marítimo y/o aéreo, siguiendo con los supuestos de extraterritorialidad másrecientes ligados a la “cuarta o quinta dimensión” en el espacio digital o en el ciberespacio, para finalizar con la ejecución de servicios extraterritorial futura (o no tan futura) en espacios o ciudades marítimo-artificiales o en el espacio ultraterrestre.

Balance de la reforma de la negociación colectiva
Authors: Álvarez Cuesta Henar
Published: March 2023

Transcurrido un año de la publicación y entrada en vigor del RD-Ley 32/2021, procede realizar un balance de los efectos de la reforma laboral en materia de negociación colectiva, tanto con el fin de verificar el cumplimiento de los objetivos pretendidos como de explorar aquellas consecuencias no queridas por la norma. Para ello, es necesario, en primer lugar, conocer cuáles eran las dificultades detectadas y a las que pretendía poner remedio. En un segundo momento, se ha de comprobar la eficacia de las reformas en materia de concurrencia de convenios (art. 84.2 ET) a través del refuerzo del protagonismo del convenio de sector como eje vertebrador de la estructura negociar; el establecimiento de criterios a la hora de seleccionar el acuerdo de aplicación en caso de contratas (art. 42.6 ET); el mantenimiento de la ultraactividad de los pactos (art. 86 ET); y la llamada a la negociación sectorial a lo largo de su articulado.
En esta primera evaluación conviene tener en cuenta que los tiempos de la autonomía colectiva y sus resultados precisan de una mayor perspectiva, y las disposiciones transitorias de la propia norma impiden una mayor precisión en la valoración realizada, sin olvidar los impactos producidos por la coyuntura socioeconómica, capaz de afectar en este ámbito en igual medida que los cambios legales.
En fin, la valoración de los cambios es positiva, aun cuando los efectos están aún por determinar, no ha transcurrido el tiempo necesario para constatar resultados, pero sí para advertir líneas de tendencia capaces de marcar el camino del futuro mapa negocial.

Effect of a Simple Sugar-based Ingredient on Skin Moisturization: Biological Mode of Action and Clinical Effects
Authors: Garcia Christine , Valin Elodie , Hernandez Elsa , Kern Catherine , Roso Alicia
Published: March 2023

Purpose: The study aimed to investigate the effects of a sugar-based structure, i.e. XAX (Xylitylglucoside-Anhydroxylitol-Xylitol) on skin barrier function and moisturization, both in vitro and in vivo, and to compare its efficacy with that of glycerin.Methods: Expression of genes was investigated by RT-qPCR analysis on topically-treated human reconstructed epidermis. Ceramide neosynthesis was measured by chromatography in topically-treated human skin explants. Production of essential proteins was monitored in primary cell cultures: Chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid in fibroblasts, using chromatography; hyaluronic acid in keratinocytes, using ELISA. In vivo, epidermal microrelief, skin capacitance and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) were measured on 25 female volunteers with dry skin. Skin capacitance and TEWL were also measured, on hands, comparing hydroalcoholic gels.Results: XAX increased the expression of key moisturizing-related genes, such as enzymes, structural components or regulators of inter-keratinocytes junctions, cornified layer, desquamation process, as well as skin barrier function and hydration. It also increased the contents of ceramides, hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate. In vivo, XAX treatment at 3% decreased TEWL and increased skin capacitance, skin microrelief and desquamation. The combination of XAX+glycerin (1.5%+1.5%) showed interesting effects compared to glycerin alone.Conclusion: XAX promoted effects on the biological pathways involved in skin barrier function; epidermal and dermal water reserves; and epidermal water circulation. Its effectiveness, confirmed in vivo, alone and in combination with glycerin, makes it an interesting alternative to basic emollients, humectants and occlusives.

Published: March 2023

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the promoting effects of HX109 on hair growth.Methods: We prepared HX109 by extracting Taraxacum officinale, Cuscuta australis, and Nelumbo nucifera with 25% ethanol. The hair growth-promoting effects were measured in C57BL/6J mice which were orally administered HX109 (30, 100, and 300 mg/kg) with dorsal hair depilation. Western blotting was used to examine the protein expression in skin tissues (cyclin family, bax, and bcl-2). Moreover, the WST-1 assay was used to assess the cell viability of human hair dermal papilla cells (HFDPC). Flow cytometry was used to examine the change in the HFDPC cell cycle proportion.Results: In HX109-treated C57BL/6J mice, hair growth was increased in a dose-dependent manner compared with the vehicle-treated group. Specifically, 300 mg/kg of HX109 treated group showed significantly enhanced hair regrowth (p<0.01). Furthermore, HX109 significantly increased cyclin B1 expression and decreased the bax/bcl-2 ratio in the back skin of mice. HX109 also increased cell viability in HFDPCs in a dose-dependent manner by stimulating the S-G2/M phase transition.Conclusion: The mixed herbal extract HX109 has a hair growth-promoting effect by increasing HFDPC viability through regulation of the S-G2/M phase transition.

Highlights:

A genetic variable has been identified as an atrial fibrillation risk factor.
Rs2200733 is a type of SNP that increases atrial fibrillation risk, whereas rs3853445, rs6838973, and rs17570669 have the reverse effect.

Abstract:
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a highly prevalent arrhythmia. The involvement of molecular mechanisms in increased AF risk remains uncertain. However, the paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 2 or pituitary homeobox 2 (PITX2) gene has been linked to AF development. A comprehensive search was carried out to identify all eligible case-control studies in order to assess the association between five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PITX2 gene and the risk of AF. This meta-analysis employed the Review Manager (RevMan) software version 5.3 (Cochrane). There were 13 clinical studies, with a total of 11,961 subjects, that met the inclusion criteria. These subjects consisted of 4,440 patients with AF and 7,521 controls. The meta-analysis of five SNP types in the PITX2 gene was done using crude odds ratios (ORs). This revealed that rs2200733 increased the risk of AF (OR=1.80; 95% CI=1.53-2.11; p=0.0005; I2=80%). On the other hand, the other three SNPs decreased the risk of AF, namely, rs385344 (OR=0.75; 95% CI=0.59-0.95; p=0.002; I2=85%), rs6838973 (OR=0.64; 95% CI=0.51-0.81; p=0.0001; I2=73%), and rs17570669 (OR=0.80; 95% CI=0.65-0.98; p=0.03; I2=70%). However, there was no significant association between rs10033464 and AF (OR=1.21; 95% CI=0.97-1.50; p=0.13; I2=83%). In conclusion, depending on the type, SNPs in the PITX2 gene correlate with AF risk factors, either by alleviating or reducing the risk.

With the increasing concern due to climate change caused by a higher atmospheric concentration of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, reducing environmental impact is becoming more important for every part of society. Manufacturing is responsible for a significant amount of energy/material consumption and environmental burden and, therefore, has a great opportunity to reduce its impact through green manufacturing. Green manufacturing presents opportunities across the manufacturing enterprise to increase the efficient usage of energy and material resources. These opportunities include designing products to consume fewer materials and energy during manufacturing and use, incorporating more efficient manufacturing processes, streamlining and optimizing manufacturing schedules and plans, and circularizing products. The goal of this paper will be to provide a perspective from the authors on the opportunities that exist within green manufacturing for discrete products through a review of pertinent topics and future directions. The paper will focus on processes, manufacturing equipment, manufacturing systems, recovering value at a product’s end-of-life, and additional thoughts that include metrics and indicators, techno-economic assessment, and a discussion of efficiency and effectiveness. Key findings from this review include a need for social indicators and renewable energy considerations in scheduling and process planning, integrating Industry 4.0 into circular economy along with social and institutional dimensions, consistency in the ability to measure and conceptualize metrics and indicators, a detailed evaluation of the life cycle impacts and cost of Addit Manuf, and more human and environment-oriented considerations for smart manufacturing.
Review of fluorine removal methods from aqueous solutions

Published: March 2023

Introduction. The high-quality water conditioning problem does not disappear from the agenda of chemists, biologists, and ecologists. Fluoride content is an important water quality indicator, as fluoride can have both positive and negative effects on the human body. The purpose of this work is a critical review of methods for removing fluorine compounds from natural surface and underground waters, and from wastewater. An analysis of 77 modern scientific articles was performed, the advantages and disadvantages of such methods as precipitation and co-precipitation, methods using semipermeable membranes, dialysis and electrocoagulation, ion exchange and sorption methods were determined.

Results and discussion. It was determined that the precipitation and co-precipitation methods use of chemical reagents, so they are quite expensive, and the sediments formed in the defluoridation process are subject to disposal. Membrane methods do not require the chemicals addition, are highly efficient and easy to control, but at the same time, defluoridation removes other ions that are present in water and are important indicators of the drinking water quality. A significant disadvantage of membrane methods is that a major amount of brine is formed during the treatment process, which also creates a disposal problem. Dialysis and electrocoagulation methods have the advantages and disadvantages of electrochemical methods: they provide high quality water, but this is accompanied by increased electricity consumption, the use of limited service life electrodes. Along with the high degree of water defluoridation, ion exchange methods are characterized by high cost, as well as significant water consumption for such technological processes as loosening, regeneration and washing of ion-exchange resins. An additional problem is the flushing and rinsing wastewater disposal. Sorptive fluoride removal is the most promising and widely used method. The main advantages include the method simplicity, non-deficiency and availability of sorbents. Effective sorbents are natural minerals, foremost, clinoptilolite, nepheline, low-quality phosphorites and apatites, glauconite, basalt tuffs, which are abundant in the subsoil of Ukraine. Unlike other methods, the spent materials are easily disposed of, or can be used as additives in the production of silicate materials, for example, bricks.

Conclusions. Promising fluoride removal methods are sorption methods using natural mineral and modified sorbents.

Black rice generally has problems in cultivation such as relatively long plant life, high habitus and low productivity. Plant breeders use several methods in hybridization activities, such as backcross method that can lead to the development towards emphasizing the superiority of each parent. This research aimed to study and determined the success rate of the black rice lines F1 backcross and the parents’ performance. This research was conducted using F1 of promising lines, parental lines and the Jeliteng variety with 9 sets of crosses. Each line and variety were repeated 3 times, in total there were 57 experimental units. The observation parameters of this research were plant height, crossing success, weight of seeds, length and width of grain, flowering age, harvesting age also number of grains and unfilled spikelet. The results of this study showed that parents plant height was positively correlated with the number of productive tillers. The taller the plant, the more productive tillers and the more flowers can be crossed. The success of the cross can increase with the number of flowers crossed. The success of crosses between F1 black rice promising lines and their parents has a success rate range of 10.82% to 33.75%. The findings imply that F1 crossbreeding of black rice promising lines with their parents can be carried out to produce backcross offspring.

Lemon is one among the fruits of a highly respectable class known as citrus, well known for its nutritious juice and beverage products, rich with a range of micro and macro elements, and functional bioactives. After extraction of juice, the pomace left has great potential as a sustainable agricultural processing by-product, due to its vast application in the food, feed and pharma industries. Lemon pomace powder was prepared from the by-product obtained after the extraction of juice from the lemon. Dried lemon pomace powder contained fiber (60.12 g 100 g-1), moisture (10.67 g 100 g-1), protein (4.89 g 100 g-1), fat (2.17 g 100 g-1), sugar (4.81 g 100 g-1) and ash (3.21 g 100 g-1), indicating higher amounts of ash, fat and fiber contents than wheat flour. The water-holding and oil-holding capacities of lemon pomace powder were noticed 5.9 and 3.2 g, respectively. Lightness (L*) and yellowness (b*) of powder were decreased while redness (a*) was increased in powder as compared to raw pomace. Water activity was decreased, while dry matter and pH of pomace powder were significantly increased as compared to raw pomace. Microbiological analyses revealed lower mold, yeast and total viable counts in lemon pomace powder as compared to raw lemon pomace. Dried lemon pomace powder was replaced with wheat flour at concentrations of 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% in biscuits. The biscuits were evaluated for chemical and sensory properties. Data revealed that the incorporation of lemon pomace powder improved the chemical and sensory properties of biscuits significantly. Highly acceptable biscuits with good sensory properties were obtained by incorporating 10% lemon pomace powder, with the potential use of promoting health.

Usaha Kreatif Perempuan dalam Turbulensi Pandemi: Riset Longitudinal Wirausaha Industri Kreatif Perempuan 2018-2020
Authors: Rahmawati Aulia
Published: March 2023

Penelitian ini melihat bagaimana bisnis kreatif perempuan sebelum dan selama pandemi dengan membandingkan fase 2018 dan fase 2020. Duapuluh wirausaha kreatif perempuan telah diwawancarai ditahun 2018 dan kembali diwawancarai ditahun 2020 untuk melihat bagaimanakah kelangsungan bisnis kreatif tersebut. Hampir separuh dari partisipan telah menghentikan bisnis kreatifnya dengan alasan ‘burnout’ atau kelelahan dengan tugas-tugas domestik yang semakin berat saat pandemi, terutama yang berkaitan dengan pengasuhan dan pendidikan anak-anak. Partisipan lain yang masih bertahan menyatakan bahwa omsetnya menurun drastis dengan perkecualian tiga partisipan yang didukung penuh oleh partner rumah tangganya. Riset ini membuktikan dua hal, pertama, ketimpangan dalam pembagian tugas-tugas domestik masih menjadi penghalang terbesar terhadap akses perempuan dalam dunia usaha dan karir profesional. Kedua, masih minimnya usaha-usaha pemerintah maupun insentif yang responsif terhadap gender membuktikan bahwa industri kreatif masih menjadi industri yang masih jauh dari kata sempurna dalam hal pengarusutamaan gender. Beberapa laporan menunjukkan setidaknya membutuhkan waktu enam tahun atau lebih untuk kembali meraih kemajuan-kemajuan pengarusutamaan gender yang telah direnggut selama pandemi.

 
Predictors of early initiation of breastfeeding in women who birth in government hospitals in Sri Lanka: an assessment across socio-demographic and clinical measures
Authors: Lokeesan Laavanya , Martin Elizabeth , Miller Yvette
Published: March 2023

Introduction
Early initiation of breastfeeding can be predicted by socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of birthing women, and health care support for breastfeeding. However, the relative influence of many of these characteristics on early initiation of breastfeeding has not been established in Sri Lanka. Therefore, we aimed to identify predictors of early initiation of breastfeeding across a wide range of socio-demographic and clinical characteristics.
Methods
A cross-sectional survey was conducted with women who had a live baby across four government hospitals in Sri Lanka. Women who were 12 hours post-birth and still admitted to the hospital were invited to participate. Data were collected by eliciting quantitative data through participant interviews and extracting additional information from their medical records. Contribution of socio-demographic and clinical characteristics to explaining variations in early initiation of breastfeeding was estimated using binary logistic regression analysis with simultaneous adjustment.
Results
The response rate was 83.8%, with 302 women participating. The proportion of women who initiated breastfeeding within one hour of birth was 64.5% (n=195). Women were more likely to initiate breastfeeding within one hour of birth if their body mass index was < 18.5 kg/m2 (OR: 4.17; 95% CI: 1.23-14.05), and less likely if they gave birth by elective caesarean section (OR: 0.27; 95% CI: 0.14-0.51), were administered antibiotics (OR: 0.4; 95% CI: 1.05-4.73) and had a baby with respiratory distress (OR: 0.08, 95% CI: 0.01-0.57).
Conclusion
Current intrapartum care practices associated with elective caesarean and antibiotic administration, and immediate care of babies with respiratory distress, should be critically reviewed for understanding the mechanisms underlying their negative impact on breastfeeding initiation in Sri Lanka.
Minimum Wage and Income Ethnic-Gaps: Who are the winners?
Authors: CHAVEZ CESAR
Published: March 2023

This paper attempts to answer whether minimum wage increases help to close income gaps across ethnic groups in Peru. To answer this question, I study the period 2004–2019 in Peru and estimate the effects of minimum wage increases based on nominal minimum wage, real minimum wage, and Kaitz index terms. To estimate these effects, I use several econometric strategies, but mainly I rely on IV-OLS and IV-Probit. I find that the minimum wage has generally benefited whites, mestizos, and Andeans, but especially the latter, which has boosted the closing of ethnic income gaps. When I delve deeper into the types of workers, I find that these significant effects have been mainly on the Andean people in the lowest income bracket, that is, on the most vulnerable population or dependent on changes in the minimum wage. However, it has benefited a specific population group, the high-skilled mestizos, which indicates that while the gap is reduced on the lower side, it opens on the higher side. Finally, when I analyze the probability of being employed, having informal employment, and having stable employment, I find small and non-significant impacts in most of the estimates.

Inflows of Foreign Direct Investment and Its Influence on Primary Sector in India
Authors: Idris Mohamed
Published: March 2023

Till 1990s the paucity of capital is one of the major threats to the developing nations. Since they were not able to mobilize the requisite capital for investment which is very indispensible for economic development. There is always a gap between investment required and availability of investment. When India unwrapped its economy for globalization it gave a new panorama for the FDI in India and acts as a strong viaduct and acted as a bridge between investment required and savings available. The constant support of government of India facilitates in getting more amount of capital from foreign countries. Nevertheless still India is far behind in attracting inflow of FDI when comparing with other developing economies. The foreign direct investment was successful in attracting foreign investment into different sectors such as primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary. This paper attempts to ascertain the association between the inflows of FDI and its effect on primary sector in India. For this purpose primary sectors such as Metallurgical industries, Mining, Power, Non-conventional energy, Petroleum and natural gas and cement and gypsum sectors are taken into account for the research.
The Role of Trade in the Transmission of U.S. Recessions into Africa: Evidence from Nigeria
Authors: Ibironke Adesola
Published: March 2023

This paper examines the role of trade as a transmission channel of U.S. recessions into Africa, using Nigeria as a case study and time series data spanning 1981 to 2019. This involves examining how the impacts of U.S. recessions on Nigeria’s growth spread across time, based on an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) cointegration model. The main findings are: (i) When the trade channel is not controlled for in the analysis, U.S. recessions do not have statistically significant impacts on growth in Nigeria both in the short-run and long-run. (ii) When the trade channel is controlled for, the recessions have statistically significant impacts on growth via the channel, but only in the short-run and with a lapse of time. (iii) The positive impact of trade on growth occurs in the long-run, even in the face of the recessions. The key policy implication of these findings for African countries is that trade is indeed influential in them, but they need to diversify their trade away from large economies, such as the U.S., by increasing intra-Africa trade, in order to limit the effects of shocks from such economies and maximize the benefits of trade.

Interesting emergent behavior in quantum materials arises when the interaction of electrons with the lattice leads to localization and ordering. The triangular lattice of some transition metal dichalcogenides results in additional interplay of interactions involving spin, localized charge and lattice degrees of freedom. In the light of such complexity, the dominant mechanism that drives the formation of different orders is quite difficult to ascertain. Here we present a study of local symmetry breaking of the lattice structure in the prototype layered dichalcogenide material 1T-TaS2 to investigate the origin of the multiple charge and spin ordered phases. Remarkably, x-ray pair-distribution function measurements show symmetry-breaking polaronic distortions of the lattice structure around individual localized electrons at temperatures well above any of the known long-range ordered phases. The characteristic polaronic broken symmetry signatures remain present on cooling from 800 K to 15 K, through the purported quantum spin liquid (QSL) and charge ordered states, additionally revealing a new transition near 50 K to a state displaying partially restored symmetry and significant inter-layer dimerization. The appearance of locally broken symmetry and the associated order parameter at temperatures well above the appearance of long range order implies that charge ordering is driven by the Wigner crystallization of polarons, rather than Fermi surface nesting or conventional electron-phonon coupling. The local lattice distortions are consistent with a QSL state at intermediate temperatures where interlayer dimerization is incomplete. The breakup of the QSL state below 50 K is concurrent with the disappearance of domains in the charge order.
Adapting a Quality Improvement Collaborative to a new national context: A co-design and feasibility study to improve dementia care in Ireland
Authors: Sykes Michael , O'Mahony Lauren , Wiggin Daisy , Timmons Suzanne
Published: March 2023

Background: Adaptation seeks to increase intervention fit with context, an important influence upon implementation. People with dementia in acute hospitals in Ireland do not routinely receive best care. To improve care in Ireland, we sought to adapt an existing quality improvement collaborative, to support the improvement capabilities of recipients of feedback from the Irish National Audit of Dementia.
Methods: The study followed a staged process to co-design adaptations to reflect contextual differences between the English and the Irish healthcare systems, and to explore feasibility of the adapted Quality Improvement Collaborative in Ireland. We used co-design group meetings involving dementia clinicians from three hospitals, delivered the intervention virtually and interviewed healthcare workers from seven hospitals to adapt and explore the fidelity, affective response and reported appropriateness of the intervention.
Results: The intervention required adaptation to reflect differences in strategic intention, ways of working and hospital social structures. There was evidence that the adapted intervention generated a positive affective response, was perceived as appropriate and led to fidelity of receipt and enactment.
Conclusion: We describe implications for the adaptation of interventions to increase participants’ quality improvement capabilities and highlight the importance of socio-adaptive work. We propose further work to explore antecedents of senior positional leader engagement, to describe the delivery of intra-participant behaviour change techniques and to adapt the intervention to other clinical domains.

Background

Although many studies have been conducted on the efficacy of behavioral activation in depression, there are few sources that have evaluated the efficacy of this treatment in depressed patients with anxiety through telecare. The study is designed aiming to determining the Effects of a telenursing scheduled intervention of brief behavioral activation therapy on depression and anxiety symptoms of patients with mixed anxiety and depression Disorder (MADD).

Methods

The study was a randomized clinical trial in which 30 subjects with MADD were randomly assigned to an intervention and a control group based on inclusion criteria. The 8-session person-centered behavioral activation was delivered twice weekly via tele-nursing. Depression and anxiety symptoms severity were assessed using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale and the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale at baseline, end, and 1 month after the intervention. Data were analyzed by independent t-tests, chi-square tests, and repeated-measures tests using SPSS version 24.

Results

The results showed that after the implementation of the intervention, the depression score in the intervention group had decreased from 19.86 (± 8.56) to 17.21 (± 6.71). In contrast, it increased from 18.67 (± 9.72) to 19.47 (± 7.33) in the control group. For anxiety symptoms, there was a clinically significant decrease after the intervention only in the intervention group (p = 0.01).

Conclusion

The results showed the effects of brief behavioral activating tele-nursing on a non-significant reduction in depression symptoms and a significant clinical reduction in anxiety symptoms after the intervention in MADD patients. It seems that brief BA tele-therapy could be a good alternative for discharged patients and a good complementary method for long-term treatment in primary care nursing.

Objective To study the efficacy and safety of Arbidol hydrochloride tablets in the treatment of influenza-like cases. Methods A multicenter, randomized controlled, open study was conducted. 412 influenza-like cases were collected from 14 hospitals in 7 regions of Hebei Province from September 2021 to March 2022. They were randomly divided into 2 groups. 207 patients in the control group were given oseltamivir phosphate capsules for 5 days. 205 patients in the experimental group were given Arbidol hydrochloride tablets for 5 days. The primary endpoint was the time to normal body temperature, and the secondary endpoint included the time to remission of influenza symptoms, the incidence of influenza-like complications, and the incidence of adverse reactions.
Results 1) Before treatment, there was no significant difference between the two groups in general conditions, blood routine, body temperature and symptom severity.2) After treatment, there was no significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in the mean remission time of fever (59.24 ± 25.21) H vs. (61.05 ± 29.47) H and the mean remission time of influenza symptoms (57.31 ± 30.19) H vs. (62.02 ± 32.08) H. Survival analysis Logrank and Wilcoxon bilateral test showed that there was no significant difference in fever relief time and influenza symptom relief time between the two groups.3) Incidence of complications and adverse events: there was only 1 case of tracheitis in the control group. In the control group, nausea occurred in 1 case, vomiting in 1 case and dizziness in 1 case. In experimental group, nausea occurred in 1 case, vomiting in 1 case and drowsiness in 1 case. In addition, 1 patient in control group was hospitalized for urinary calculi.
Conclusion There is no significant difference between Arbidol hydrochloride tablets and Oseltamivir phosphate capsules in the treatment of influenza like cases, and Arbidol hydrochloride tablets have less adverse reactions and are safe to use.

In this work, we present a comprehensive theoretical and computational investigation of exciton fine structures of WSe2-monolayers, one of the best known two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMD's), in various dielectric-layer environments by solving the first-principles-based Bethe-Salpeter equation. While the physical and electronic properties of atomically thin nano-materials are normally sensitive to the variation of surrounding environment, our studies reveal that the influence of dielectric environment on the exciton fine structures of TMD-ML’s is surprisingly limited. We point out that the non-locality of Coulomb screening plays a key role to suppress the factor of dielectric environment and drastically shrink the fine structure splittings between bright exciton (BX) states and various dark exciton (DX) states of TMD-ML's.The intriguing non-locality of screening in 2D materials can be manifested by the measurable non-linear correlation between the BX-DX splittings and exciton binding energies with varying the surrounding dielectric environments. The revealed environment-insensitive exciton fine structures of TMD-ML's suggest the robustness of prospective dark-exciton-based opto-electronics against the inevitable variation of inhomogeneous dielectric environment.

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), defined as 2 or more pregnancy losses, affects 5-6% of
ever-pregnant individuals. Approximately half of these cases have no identifiable explanation.
To generate hypotheses about RPL etiologies, we implemented a case-control study comparing
the history of over 1,600 diagnoses between RPL and live-birth patients, leveraging the
University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and Stanford University electronic health record
databases. In total, our study included 8,496 RPL (UCSF: 3,840, Stanford: 4,656) and 53,278
Control (UCSF: 17,259, Stanford: 36,019) patients. Menstrual abnormalities and
infertility-associated diagnoses were significantly positively associated with RPL in both medical
centers. Age-stratified analysis revealed that the majority of RPL-associated diagnoses had
higher odds ratios for patients <35 compared with 35+ patients. While Stanford results were
sensitive to control for healthcare utilization, UCSF results were stable across analyses with and
without utilization. Intersecting significant results between medical centers was an effective filter
to identify associations that are robust across center-specific utilization patterns.
