Authors: Imani-Goghary Zahra , Balvardi Mohadeseh , Alavi-Arjas Fatemeh 
Published: December 2024

Background:
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) causes different symptoms and complications in infected individuals; various variants of coronavirus appeared and infected many people. This study investigated the epidemiology of hospitalization and mortality in patients with COVID-19 during five disease waves in Sirjan, Iran.

Materials and Methods:
This historical cohort study was done on all patients referred to the hospitals of Sirjan using the census method. Demographic and clinical characteristics of patients were extracted from their electronic medical records using a researcher-made checklist.

Results:
A total of 11851 infected people (47% of people with positive polymerase chain reaction test results) were hospitalized during five waves of COVID infection in the hospitals of Sirjan. The most mortality rate refers to the third and fifth waves, with a prevalence of 38.3% and 32.7%, respectively, while the most infection rate was reported in the fifth wave (59.7%). A higher percentage of patients required intensive care in the fifth and third waves (32.7% and 29.5%, respectively). About 50% of total infection among health-care personnel was reported in the third wave, which was significantly more than other waves (P < 0.001). A significant difference was seen in the mortality rate in patients with underlying medical conditions such as chronic disease (P < 0.001).

Conclusions:
The epidemic of COVID-19 caused a high rate of infection and mortality among residents of Sirjan. This rate was higher in the third and fifth waves. Factors such as a history of hypertension, diabetes and cardiac disease, older age, and delayed vaccination should be considered as risk factors for a severe form of COVID-19 infection. Hence, providing education and early care to at-risk patients can be effective in controlling infection and mortality rates.

Published: December 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
Adult immunization is an important but neglected health-care service. The adult population needs to keep their vaccination up to date because immunity provided through childhood vaccines weans off eventually making the adult and elderly prone to acquiring some of the vaccine-preventable diseases.

Objectives:
The objectives of this study were to assess the knowledge of postgraduate resident doctors regarding recommended adult vaccination.

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 261 postgraduate resident doctors of tertiary care medical institutions in Navi Mumbai. Participants were selected on the basis of eligibility criteria those who gave consent for the study. Prestructured and pretested questionnaires were used to assess the participants and their knowledge regarding adult immunization based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Guidelines(recommended vaccines for adults, others recommended vaccines based on age, life events such as pregnancy/international traveler/health care workers/immigrants, and health conditions).

Results and Conclusion:
About 27.6% of resident doctors did not even know that an adult immunization schedule exists. The best known to them were COVID-19 (98.3%, i.e. 57 residents) and hepatitis B vaccine (82.8%, i.e. 42 residents). Some of the special conditions were known to them, i.e. Td or TdaP during pregnancy. The lack of knowledge and practices were clearly observed during the study among postgraduate resident doctors. To implement and execute this idea of universal health coverage through the Universal Immunization Program, resident doctors must have basic knowledge regarding the adult immunization schedule. Primary care physicians and general public need to be more aware of the benefits and availability of adult vaccination.

Aligned with the theoretical foundations of consumer behavior and marketing effectiveness of digital technologies. The study aims to examine different characteristics of digital markeint and effectiveness, influencers, and quality of DM content can trigger consumers into adopting environmentally sustainable consumption practices.

Methodology: The study employs a quantitative methodology where structured questionnaires are administered to 500 digital consumers in China exposed to sustainability marketing communications. The survey instrument applied standardized and validated scales. Thus, the survey questions were developed on a 5-point Likert scale to measure the respondents' attitudes towards the tested variables. Therefore, data analysis used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Partial Least Squares (PLS), which enables analysis of direct and mediating effects within the model. The measurement model examined the internal consistency of the constructs and their convergent and discriminant validity. The structural model estimated path coefficients to test the hypotheses. A mediation analysis was conducted to test whether environmental awareness significantly mediated the relationship between digital marketing strategies and sustainable consumption behavior.

Results: Based on the research, it is possible to conclude that digital marketing communication strategies such as content relevance, content interest, and message association impact and modify sustainable consumption behavior and that environmentally oriented awareness is a mediating factor in this process. For the same reasons, it is expected that those e-marketing initiatives that delivered relevant, exciting, and credible content were more effective at persuading consumers to change their habits and embrace more sustainable behaviors. In addition, consumers with a higher level of environmental sensitivity indicated a stronger response to the promotion campaigns, underlining the significance of increasing people's environmental sensitization as a component of digital promotion strategies.

Conclusion: The current research enhances the knowledge of digital marketing and sustainability to comprehend how brands can shift consumer behavior towards eco-friendliness using digital technologies. The findings also hold useful managerial implications for marketers aspiring to integrate their roadmap with the spirit of the SDGs by encouraging a more sustainable fan practice.

A criança vem ganhando protagonismo nas pesquisas passando a fazer parte da investigação por meio de sua participação ativa. No entanto, quando se trata de políticas públicas, ainda são pouco ouvidas. Deste modo, esta investigação buscou evidenciar as perspectivas e sentidos que as crianças atribuem às práticas desenvolvidas junto a elas a partir da BNCC da Computação, no eixo de Pensamento Computacional. Como suporte teórico: Dahlberg; Moss; Pence (2019), Sarmento (2008) nos auxiliam na compreensão de criança como sujeito de direitos. Para refletir a relação das crianças e as mídias; Belloni (2009), Valente (2016) e Cordeiro (2021; 2023), para tratar do pensamento computacional; SBC (2019), CIEB (2020), Wing (2006; 2011), Brackmann (2017). Participaram da pesquisa 22 crianças da pré-escola de uma instituição pública de Parnamirim-RN. A pesquisa respalda-se na metodologia qualitativa, na qual as múltiplas linguagens das crianças foram analisadas por nuances da ATD. Seus interesses foram organizados em três categorias de análise que sustentam a ideia de que as crianças gostam de aprender com os meios digitais, com jogos e com a natureza. Os resultados apontam para a importância da participação infantil. A partir das suas múltiplas linguagens, as crianças nos revelam o que pensam, como compreendem e experimentam as vivências propostas no complemento da BNCC.

Published: December 2024

L’urbanisation galopante de la ville de Parakou et surtout son extension spatiale extraordinaire a bouleversé les pratiques de mobilité des populations. Le sous-équipement des périphéries a entrainé une forte demande de déplacements que l’offre de transport urbain de la ville n’arrive pas à satisfaire. Les populations ont alors recours aux deux roues motorisées personnelles et au taxi-moto. Le présent article a pour but de comprendre les motivations des choix modaux des populations pour une bonne planification de l’offre de transport urbain dans la ville.L’analyse des résultats des Enquêtes Ménages Déplacements (EMD) réalisées sur 384 ménages et 534 individus a montré une très forte mobilité à deux roues comme mode individuel de transport (45,45 %) suivie par la marche (33,33 %) et en troisième position le taxi-moto (13,68 %) qui s’impose dans la ville comme seul moyen de transport public. Cette répartition modale est déterminée par les facteurs socioéconomiques des populations. Ces résultats sont des repères pour la planification du transport urbain dans la ville.Mots clés : extension spatiale, mobilité, choix modal, Parakou, transport urbain

Published: December 2024

During the last decade, the use of nanotherapy as an emerging diagnostic and therapeutic tool for various diseases, especially cancer, has received much attention. So far, several approaches have been used to develop smart nanotherapies, which combine bioactive targeting to specific tissues and diagnostic properties. Nanotherapy can deliver therapeutic agents while simultaneously monitoring therapeutic response in real time. Therefore, the possibility of overdose or underdosing is reduced. Various non-invasive imaging techniques have been used to quantitatively monitor drug delivery processes. Radiolabelling of nanomaterials is widely used as a powerful diagnostic approach in nuclear medicine imaging. In fact, various radiolabelled nanomaterials have been designed and developed for imaging tumors and other lesions due to their effective characteristics. Inorganic nanoparticles, such as nanoparticles of gold, silver, silica or organic nanoparticles such as Polymers, liposomes, carbon-based nanomaterials have been described as multifunctional nanotheranostics. In this review, imaging modalities are summarized based on their use in different diseases, providing specific details on radiolabelling. In addition, the most common nanotheranosics classified by the nanomaterials used are also summarized. In conclusion, this review can be useful to the medical and pharmaceutical society, as well as material scientists working in the field of nanotheranostics, because they can use this research as a guide to produce newer and more effective nanotheranostics.

Danané, une ville ivoirienne située à 681 Km d’Abidjan, à l'ouest de la Côte d'Ivoire, à proximité du Libéria et de la Guinée, est une ville nichée dans la région du Tonkpi, appartenant au district des montagnes. Sa population estimée à près de 131586 habitants en 2021, selon le RGPH, connaît de sérieux problème en matière de mobilité urbaine. Cette étude a pour objectif de caractériser le secteur d’activité des motos taxis dans la ville de Danané. Pour y parvenir, l’appareillage méthodologique utilisé, est constitué de la recherche documentaire, des entretiens et d’une enquête de terrain. Cette démarche a permis de savoir que l’apparition des motos taxis est la conséquence de la crise militaro-politique. Cette activité informelle du fait du désordre urbain qu’il engendre, est essentiellement pratiquée par des non ivoiriens, des anciens rebelles, des jeunes déscolarisés. Elle connaît une croissance fulgurante dans la ville à cause du chômage, de la pauvreté, du mauvais état de la voirie, de la flexibilité des prix, mais aussi et surtout à cause de l’absence des taxis communaux. Cependant, ces mototaxis, apparus à la faveur de la crise, se singularisent par leur caractère toujours illégal, mais toléré jusqu’à présent.
