Relationship between Vaccine Application and Climate Factors in Sheep and Goat Farms in Greece
Authors: Katsarou Eleni I. , Fthenakis George C.
Published: April 2023

The objectives of the present study were (a) to evaluate the importance of climate-related variables in the vaccination patterns applied in sheep and goat farms in Greece and (b) to assess potential interactions between these factors and previously established important health management- and human resources-related factors applied in the farms. Vaccination patterns against chlamydial abortion, clostridial infections, contagious agalactia, contagious ecthyma, foot-rot, paratuberculosis, pneumonia or staphylococcal mastitis were assessed. Climatic variables (2010–2019 and 2018–2019) were obtained for 444 locations with small ruminant farms throughout Greece. Patterns of vaccine administration in the farms were obtained through interviews with farmers. The following nine outcomes were considered: ‘vaccination against chlamydial abortion’, ‘vaccination against clostridial infections’, ‘vaccination against contagious agalactia’, ‘vaccination against contagious ecthyma’, ‘vaccination against foot-rot’, ‘vaccination against paratuberculosis’, ‘vaccination against bacterial pneumonia’, ‘vaccination against staphylococcal mastitis’ and ‘total number of optional vaccines administered’. Univariable and multivariable analyses were first performed to establish associations of each of the above outcomes with climatic variables. Then, the same approach was employed to assess the importance of climatic variables against health management- and human resources-related factors in the administration of vaccines in the farms of the study. Climatic variables had a higher association with vaccinations against infections in sheep flocks (26 associations) than in goat herds (9 associations) (p = 0.002) and in farms with semi-extensive or extensive management (32 associations) than in farms with intensive or semi-intensive management (8 associations) (p < 0.0001). In 26 cases (38.8% of all analyses evaluated), the climatic variables overshadowed the management- and human resources-related variables assessed as significant predictors for vaccination. In most cases, these referred to sheep flocks (nine cases) and farms with semi-extensive or extensive management (eight cases). For all eight infections, there were changes in the climatic variables found to be significant predictors from the 10-year dataset to the 2-year dataset. The results indicated that, in some cases, climate factors overshadowed factors traditionally considered for the formulation of vaccination programs. This points out the significance of taking into account climate conditions in the health management of small ruminant farms. Future studies can be focused on formulating vaccination programs in accordance with climate factors and also on setting the optimum season(s) for vaccination of animals based on the circulation of the pathogens, the risks for the development of diseases and the stage within the annual production cycle of the animals.

Two doses of mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccines elicit an attenuated humoral immune response among immunocompromised patients. Our study aimed to assess the immunogenicity of a third dose of the BNT162b2 vaccine among lung transplant recipients (LTRs). We prospectively evaluated the humoral response by measuring anti-spike SARS-CoV-2 and neutralizing antibodies in 139 vaccinated LTRs ~4–6 weeks following the third vaccine dose. The t-cell response was evaluated by IFNγ assay. The primary outcome was the seropositivity rate following the third vaccine dose. Secondary outcomes included: positive neutralizing antibody and cellular immune response rate, adverse events, and COVID-19 infections. Results were compared to a control group of 41 healthcare workers. Among LTRs, 42.4% had a seropositive antibody titer, and 17.2% had a positive t-cell response. Seropositivity was associated with younger age (t = 3.736, p < 0.001), higher GFR (t = 2.355, p = 0.011), and longer duration from transplantation (t = −1.992, p = 0.024). Antibody titer positively correlated with neutralizing antibodies (r = 0.955, p < 0.001). The current study may suggest the enhancement of immunogenicity by using booster doses. Since monoclonal antibodies have limited effectiveness against prevalent sub-variants and LTRs are prone to severe COVID-19 morbidity, vaccination remains crucial for this vulnerable population.

Published: April 2023

The integration of immunization with other essential health services is among the strategic priorities of the Immunization Agenda 2030 and has the potential to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and equity of health service delivery. This study aims to evaluate the degree of spatial overlap between the prevalence of children who have never received a dose of the diphtheria–tetanus–pertussis-containing vaccine (no-DTP) and other health-related indicators, to provide insight into the potential for joint geographic targeting of integrated service delivery efforts. Using geospatially modeled estimates of vaccine coverage and comparator indicators, we develop a framework to delineate and compare areas of high overlap across indicators, both within and between countries, and based upon both counts and prevalence. We derive summary metrics of spatial overlap to facilitate comparison between countries and indicators and over time. As an example, we apply this suite of analyses to five countries—Nigeria, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Indonesia, Ethiopia, and Angola—and five comparator indicators—children with stunting, under-5 mortality, children missing doses of oral rehydration therapy, prevalence of lymphatic filariasis, and insecticide-treated bed net coverage. Our results demonstrate substantial heterogeneity in the geographic overlap both within and between countries. These results provide a framework to assess the potential for joint geographic targeting of interventions, supporting efforts to ensure that all people, regardless of location, can benefit from vaccines and other essential health services.

Published: April 2023

The cell finishing process is the final stage in the production of a battery cell. Almost one third of the production costs of a battery cell are related to this part of the production. It includes a series of steps and technologies aimed at optimizing the battery cell’s performance, quality, and safety. The process is divided into three categories: pre-treatment, formation procedure, and quality testing. The order of the processes and the time required for each step can vary depending on the manufacturer and the cell format. Recent trends in optimizing the cell finishing process include the integration of a second filling process for larger prismatic cells and the optimization of the formation protocol or Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) as possible methods for quality inspection. Efforts are also being made to reduce the pre-treatment time and improve the degassing process to ensure cell performance, quality, and safety. In this paper, all process steps of the cell finishing process are presented, and their function and technological implementation in the industry are explained. Future innovations are analyzed in terms of time to market and the potential to optimize the process in terms of quality, time, and cost.

Published: April 2023

This study investigates the effects of a carbon fiber layer formed on the surface of an etched aluminum current collector on the electrochemical properties of the activated carbon electrodes for an electric double layer capacitor. A particle size analyzer, field-emission SEM, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherm analyzer are employed to analyze the structure of the carbon fiber layer. The electric and electrochemical properties of the activated carbon electrodes using a carbon fiber layer are evaluated using an electrode resistance meter and a charge-discharge tester, respectively. To uniformly coat the surface with carbon fiber, we applied a planetary mill process, adjusted the particle size, and prepared the carbon paste by dispersing in a binder. Subsequently, the carbon paste was coated on the surface of the etched aluminum current collector to form the carbon under layer, after which an activated carbon slurry was coated to form the electrodes. Based on the results, the interface resistance of the EDLC cell made of the current collector with the carbon fiber layer was reduced compared to the cell using the pristine current collector. The interfacial resistance decreased from 0.0143 Ω·cm2 to a maximum of 0.0077 Ω·cm2. And degradation reactions of the activated carbon electrodes are suppressed in the 3.3 V floating test. We infer that it is because the improved electric network of the carbon fiber layer coated on the current collector surface enhanced the electron collection and interfacial diffusion while protecting the surface of the cathode etched aluminum; thereby suppressing the formation of Al-F compounds.

This scientific work aims to compile a visual application of information about the Riau Malay Songket Weaving Motif, especially in the Siak area. By using the Visual Communication design method with visual application design on the device with the source of library materials, interviews, and questionnaires conducted on the community in the city of Pekanbaru, men and women aged 20-25 years. The result of the research is a visual design of the Riau Malay Songket Weaving Motif application on the Siak Malay Motif as a case study because there are so many types. Songket Siak fabrics have various motifs, colors, and meanings. The general public prefers the Malay Siak songket cloth from its beauty alone, the philosophical content that is very valuable on the Songket cloth is not much seen. Existing media information also discusses more in terms of the beauty of motifs and colors, less media contains information about the meaning of the Riau Malay Songket cloth, especially Songket Siak. The meaning of the Siak Malay Songket cloth as part of the identity of the Riau Malay community does not need to be known. By looking at the philosophical meaning of the Siak Malay songket motif, it can add to the love of Riau Malay culture and increase the pride of being a Riau Malay community, especially for the younger generation. It is hoped that the availability of this application can add information about the Riau Malay songket weaving motif, especially the Siak Malay Songket Motif for the younger generation.

A public accountant has an obligation in providing good audit quality but with the case of freezing the license of the public accounting firm karana violation of SPAP, the public began to doubt the quality of the audit itself. The purpose of this study is to empirically test the quality of audits influenced by audit fees and audit quality influenced by the audit agreement period. The methods used are descriptive and verifikative. The population is 16 Public Accounting Firms in bandung area, using saturated sampling techniques or census, while the respondents are senior auditors, partners. Statistical testing uses correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis, coefficient of determination and to test the hypothesis then used t test. The results showed that the quality of audit is influenced by the audit fee, between the quality of the audit and the audit fee has a positive relationship which means that when the audit fee is large, the quality becomes better. The quality of audit is also influenced by the period of auditor's alliance and has a negative relationship where when the alliance period becomes long, the audit quality becomes poor, the quality of the audit is also influenced by other factors that are not researched such as independence, competence, professionalism and so on. Based on the results of the study the authors suggest that when accepting work from clients, the approved audit fee must be adjusted to the audit fee structure so that the quality is better and the complexity of the services provided while the contracting period with the client should be the second year of auditing the auditing team of auditors in rotation to keep the audit quality good.
Queer Terror Management: The Effect of Death Attitudes on Gender Stereotypes
Authors: Stiller Mel , Di Masso Andrés
Published: April 2023

The present research aims to facilitate radical, intersectional psychosocial intervention in gender stereotypes. Queer terror management theory provides a theoretical framework for an effect of death attitudes on stereotypes about sex, gender and desire. An initial version of the theory assumed that death acceptance would inhibit the activation of gender stereotypes, depending on the moderating role of mortality salience. A quasi-experiment with Implicit Association Tests and explicit surveys was run to put the theory to an initial test. Results showed that a more positive death valence in wave 1 - not death acceptance or mortality salience - was associated with less implicit sexual identification, gender prejudice and homonegativity. Explicit results were not conclusive. Future research shall replicate the quasi-experiment and broaden its scope to further kinds of social prejudice.
On Leggings and Lemongrass Shots: How Momfluencing Perpetuates the Feminine Mystique
Authors: Clawson Annabelle
Published: April 2023

n this paper, I situate the Instagram ‘momfluencing’ industry within Betty Friedan’s framework of the feminine mystique, specifically the sexual sell. The sexual sell is the concept of targeting housewives for profit, promising identity and fulfilment in exchange for product purchase. I bring this into conversation with the momfluencing industry by integrating Friedan’s research on the impact of 1950s women’s magazines with modern research on the impact of social media advertisements (specifically through influencers) on women. Then, I apply my comparative work to some of the most popular momfluencers. I claim that while advertisements today do not appeal so explicitly to a woman’s rightful place in the home, the sexual sell has not been eradicated—it has mutated. What makes the momfluencer different (and more dangerous) than the straightforward magazines of the 1950s is her marketing approach: she is not just selling products. Rather, she brands herself and she is the product. Furthermore, I illustrate how momfluencing has armed and mobilized the sexual sell by exploiting the existing identity crises in women. Their lack of fulfilment is what feeds, and has always fed, the feminine mystique. I then state that because the momfluencer can only succeed at the financial and emotional expense of other women, the industry is ultimately destructive. While the momfluencing industry has the potential to be a powerful feminist play with its opportunities for women entrepreneurs, its rampant success must be interrogated: Why is the flawless housewife who ‘has it all’ still the picture of achievement for women? This leads to my conclusion that despite isolated empowerment to the momfluencer herself, the success of her industry limits the role of women everywhere because it squanders women’s identities while capping their potentials at housewifery, impeding progress that could be made otherwise. By showcasing unachievable domestic fantasies and capitalising on women’s lack of fulfilment, the momfluencing industry perpetuates Friedan’s feminine mystique.

Published: April 2023

Chemical micro-traces belong to the group of forensic traces. In the case of this type of traces, we are dealing with group identification. Nonetheless, they are a very valuable and often the only procedural source of information about a crime that has taken place, and their evidential significance increases, in particular, in situations where it has not been possible to secure forensic traces in the course of the conducted activities, which would allow for individual identification of a perpetrator. The purpose of this article is to show the importance of chemical micro-traces in clarifying the circumstances of an incident and identifying a perpetrator on the basis of an opinion made in 2020 at Forensic Laboratory of the Voivodeship Police Headquarters in Kraków concerning a road accident which resulted in the death of a young woman.

Jatropha curcas (Jatropha curcas) is a woody shrub that is widely found in tropical areas. This plant is known to be very drought tolerant and easily propagated by cuttings. The oil that comes from the fence is used as fuel (biodiesel). The object of research was to find out the influence of Root Up Growth Regulating Substance (ZPT) concentration on the growth of Jatropha stem cuttings. The method of research used is an experimental method using a Group Randomized Design (RAK) with the treatment of Root Up Growth Regulators (ZPT) concentrations of 0 mg, 20 mg, 25 mg, 30 mg, and 40 mg repeated 10 times. The observed variables are, number of roots, average length of roots, number of shoots, and average length of shoots. The results obtained from giving ZPT Root up with concentrations of 0 mg, 20 mg, 25 mg, 30 mg, and 40 mg had no significant effect on the growth of the number of roots, average root length, number of shoots, and average shoot length. No significant influence of concentration was found, but seen from DMRT there was a tendency for the P2 treatment with a concentration of 25 mg to show the best average shoot length.

Published: April 2023

The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between work-life balance, work commitment, leadership style, and job satisfaction during remote working among non-managerial workers at the workplace of a service organisation in Malaysia. A total of 169 respondents participated in the survey. The findings of the study indicated that a healthy work-life balance and a good work commitment have a significant positive relationship on employee's level of job satisfaction during remote working. Leadership does not have a significant influence on one's level of job satisfaction during remote working. Employees who report high levels of satisfaction in their jobs tend to be more dedicated and productive. The findings of this study can give a potential to make a significant contribution to previous investigations on the management and organisational behaviour of organisations when they wanted to apply work from home policy to their employees. As a direct consequence of this, it is much simpler to address conflicts in the organisation such as high employee turnover, unethical behaviour, low productivity, and excessive absenteeism. In addition, this study provides readers, future researchers, HR managers, and the government with information that can be helpful in gaining a better understanding of the factors in the workplace that can influence employee job satisfaction.

Authors: Zainol Noor Azimin , Mustafa Eshaby , Abdul Razak Roshita , Ahmad Rozila
Published: April 2023

As more new players enter the market, the Malaysian food and beverage industry is anticipated to have a bright future. Hence, it is becoming increasingly important to comprehend how food and beverage establishments make profits through cost control measures, an important aspect that is frequently overlooked academically. Limited studies have been conducted towards understanding cost control matters, especially in the Malaysian setting. This paper highlights the critical cost control techniques and ways to overcome issues in food service operations. An exploratory approach via qualitative study is deemed feasible to investigate cost control measures being practiced in their daily operations. Cost control techniques applied in the Malaysian food and beverage industry needs to be determined. Further, how managers overcome challenges in manning their food and beverage outlets needs exploration. Therefore, in answering the questions, semi-structured interview protocols were conducted on 25 foodservice outlet managers around the northern part of Malaysia. The findings suggested that most of the managers interviewed understand cost control techniques needed to operate outlets based on their routine experience of running their operations. In terms of overcoming the challenges, these managers depicted several solutions which reflected the survival of their business. Thus, some recommendations can be suggested to improve their daily operations to cultivate the correct application of cost control measures in food and beverage outlet operations.
Correct structures and similarity measures of soft sets along with historic comments of Prof. D.A. Molodtsov
Authors: Acharjee S. , Oza A.
Published: April 2023

After the paper of Molodtsov [Molodtsov D. Soft set theory — First results, Computers and Mathematics with Applications, 1999, vol. 37, no. 4-5, pp. 19-31.] first appeared, soft set theory grew at a breakneck pace. Several authors have introduced various operations, relations, results, etc. as well as other aspects in soft set theory and hybrid structures incorrectly, despite their widespread use in mathematics and allied areas. In his paper [Molodtsov D.A. Equivalence and correct operations for soft sets, International Robotics and Automation Journal, 2018, vol. 4, no. 1, pp. 18-21.], Molodtsov, the father of soft set theory, pointed out several wrong results and notions. Molodtsov [Molodtsov D.A. Structure of soft sets, Nechetkie Sistemy i Myagkie Vychisleniya, 2017, vol. 12, no. 1, pp. 5-18.] also stated that the concept of soft set had not been fully understood and used everywhere. As a result, it is important to revisit the quirks of those conceptions and provide a formal account of the notion of soft set equivalency. Molodtsov already explored many correct operations on soft sets. We use some notions and results of Molodtsov [Molodtsov D.A. Structure of soft sets, Nechetkie Sistemy i Myagkie Vychisleniya, 2017, vol. 12, no. 1, pp. 5-18.] to create matrix representations as well as related operations of soft sets, and to quantify the similarity between two soft sets.
On eigenelements of a two-dimensional Steklov-type boundary value problem for the Lamé operator
Authors: Davletov D.B. , Davletov O.B. , Davletova R.R. , Ershov A.A.
Published: April 2023

In this paper, we study a two-dimensional Steklov-type boundary value problem for the Lamé operator in a half-strip, which is the limiting problem for a singularly perturbed boundary-value problem in a half-strip with a small hole. A theorem on the existence of eigenelements of the boundary value problem under study is proved. In particular, we obtain estimates for the eigenvalues expressed in terms of the Lamé constants and a parameter that determines the width of the half-strip, and refine the structure of the corresponding eigenfunctions, which determines their behavior as their argument move away from the base of the half-strip. Moreover, explicit expressions for the eigenvalues of the limiting boundary value problem are found up to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. The results obtained in this paper will make it possible to construct and rigorously justify an asymptotic expansion of the eigenvalue of a singularly perturbed boundary value problem in a half-strip with a small round hole in powers of a small parameter that determines the diameter of the hole.
On some properties of *-integral
Authors: Derr V.Ya.
Published: April 2023

This work continues the author's research on the theory of regulated functions and *-integral. The possibility to express a regulated function as a sum of right-continuous and left-continuous functions (called $rl$-representation) is studied. A limit theorem for the *-integral is proved. It allows approximating discontinuous integrands and integrators by sequences of absolutely continuous functions. A new result on $\delta$-correctness of the solution of an ordinary linear differential equation with generalized functions in coefficients is proved. This solution is defined via a quasi-differential equation. A formula for the total variation of an indefinite *-integral of a $\sigma$-continuous function with respect to a function of bounded variation is given. It generalizes the well-known formula for computing the total variation of an absolutely continuous function. The formula is also interesting in the case of an indefinite $RS$-integral.
On essential values of Sergeev's frequencies and exponents of oscillation for solutions of a third-order linear differential periodic equation
Authors: Stash A.Kh.
Published: April 2023

In this paper, we study various types of Sergeev's frequencies and exponents of oscillation for solutions of linear homogeneous differential equations with continuous bounded coefficients. For any preassigned natural number $N$, a periodic third-order linear differential equation is constructively built in this paper, which has the property that its upper and lower Sergeev frequency spectra of strict signs, zeros and roots, as well as the spectra of all upper and lower strong and weak oscillation indices of strict and non-strict signs, zeros, roots and hyperroots contain the same set, consisting of $N$ different essential values, both metrically and topologically. Moreover, all these values are implemented on the same set of solutions of the constructed equation, that is, for each solution from this set, all the frequencies listed above and the oscillation exponents coincide with each other. When constructing the indicated equation and proving the required results, analytical methods of the qualitative theory of differential equations were used, in particular, methods of the theory of perturbations of solutions of linear differential equations, as well as the author's technique for controlling the fundamental system of solutions of such equations in one particular case.

In this study, we examined the typical cases of ∣N∣ ≥ 20 μV K–1 in the ferrimagnetic phase of semiconducting van der Waals layers MnBi2Te4 using first-principles calculations. A large enhancement in ∣N∣ was obtained by the Seebeck term for a wide range of carrier concentrations. The present results motivate further studies on the anomalous Nernst effect in intrinsically or doped magnetic semiconductors.

Commento e critica al parere sull'interpello 176 del 2023
Authors: Muritano Daniele
Published: April 2023

Tesi
La Risposta a interpello n. 176 del 2023 dell’Agenzia delle Entrate conferma che qualora un trust sia ritenuto fiscalmente interposto e successivamente il disponente muoia i beni in trust fanno parte dell’asse ereditario del disponente stesso.
Nel commento si sottopone a critica tale conclusione, sostenendo la tesi secondo cui l’interposizione ai fini fiscali non produce effetti sul piano civilistico se non a fronte di un accertamento giudiziale. I beni in trust, pertanto, continuano a essere di titolarità del trustee e non fanno parte dell’asse ereditario del disponente in caso di morte di quest'ultimo.
 
The author’s view
Reply to interrogation no. 176 of 2023 of Agenzia delle Entrate confirms that where a trust is deemed to be interposed for tax purposes and subsequent the settlor dies, the trust assets form part of the settlor’s estate.
The comment criticizes this conclusion, supporting the thesis that the interposition for tax purposes does not produce effects at a civil law level unless a judicial assessment is made. Trust assets therefore continue to be owned by the trustee and do not form part of the settlor’s estate in the event of his death.
Sulle funzioni del PSC Register, del Trust Register e del nuovo Register of Overseas Entities nel Regno Unito
Authors: Saffioti Antonio
Published: April 2023

Sunto
Il tema dei registri dei titolari effettivi e dei registri dei trust appare di grande attualità, specie dopo la recente sentenza della Corte di Giustizia europea del 22 novembre 2022 che ha sancito l’invalidità delle disposizioni della direttiva che rendono accessibili al pubblico le informazioni sui titolari effettivi. Mentre in Italia siamo ancora in attesa dell’attuazione di questi registri, il Regno Unito non solo li ha adottati da tempo, ma ha di recente istituito anche il primo registro al mondo dei titolari effettivi delle società proprietarie di immobili situati nel Regno Unito. Il presente contributo analizzerà i tre registri attualmente in vigore nel Regno Unito, con un occhio di riguardo a quelle strutture da ultimo controllate da trust e, quindi, alla eventuale comunicazione e pubblicità dei dati dei soggetti che ruotano attorno ad essi.

Representing the β bundles as an infinite fibre that when acts on the geometries been presented as -1 for hyperbolic or saddle curvature and +1 for elliptic or positive curvature with ±1 for both types of curvatures with the exception of 0 curvature Euclidean geometry can cause deformation or suspension η in the complex topological space T^* thereby creating genus g≥1 or with the  R_∩ formalism making the entire manifold M in the form of a suspended disc ∑D_Λ  to collapse as a ring M_R for non–intersection of infinite loops ∮_∞γ as the trivial assumptions for the extreme degrees of freedom.
Spatial dependency on flexibility value considering stacked transformer overload cost

Distribution grids in industrial areas are under pressure to increase the utilization of the existing grid and to build more grid due to electrification of existing industries and new power-intensive industries. Distribution system operators (DSOs) are currently considering if and how they can use power system flexibility, such as demand response, to simultaneously avoid overloading their grid assets and avoid investing in new grid. The DSO may choose to operate an asset, such as  a transformer, beyond its rated load. However,  this accelerates the aging of the transformer, hence decreasing its remaining life. In this work, a methodology is developed which relates the cost of transformer overload to the value of power system flexibility, to determine the DSO’s willingness to pay for a flexibility service. The methodology finds the spatial dependency of a flexibility services’ value by optimizing load shedding in the grid to minimize transformer loss of life (LoL). The methodology is demonstrated in a case study using real grid and load data measured in an industrial area in Norway that includes both medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) transformers.
Social and cultural computing for social and mental well-being

Published: April 2023

In today's fast-paced, technology-driven world, physical presence is no longer necessary, and since the covid-19 pandemic, most operations have been virtual, and with many people working from home, leading to social isolation, and there has been a steady decline in social interaction over the last few decades, which can adversely affect mental and physical health. The loss of a family member, the loss of a job, divorce, or financial hardship can all result in social isolation, discrimination, and a lack of social support. Due to these factors, many people suffer from depression, anxiety, and a variety of other diseases. To overcome this problem, we must be happier in our lives, engage in more social interactions, and be more culturally oriented. Encourage the patient to participate in the surrounding activities, events, functions and share with him the positive and happiest content that can be found on social media so that he can engage in those activities as well. In this chapter, we will discuss how robotic process automation and machine learning technology will improve the efficiency of this process. Robots will analyze social media videos, texts, and messages for sentiment analysis, user recommendations, and social network analysis, and share filtered happy context messages with emotionally depressed individuals. Virtual reality, online communities, and social media can facilitate mental health support, cultural engagement, and creative expression. As their mental health and happiness improve, they can make a greater contribution to society.
