IntroductionDuring the communicable coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, organizational infection control measures (oICMs) were introduced in the workplace. The employees’ positive attitudes and active participation are relevant for full effectiveness regarding disease prevention. Therefore, we explore changes in employees’ attitudes toward oICM at work from August–October 2020 (T0) over January 2021 (T1) to October–November 2021 (T2). We further investigate the role an organization can play in supporting health-related preventive behavior.MethodsWe considered repeated cross-sectional and longitudinal panel survey data from 5,554 employees of a global supplier of technology and services in Germany. A total of 16 items constitute the attitude scores toward oICM (5-point Likert scale). Via mixed-effect model, aspects associated with employees’ attitudes toward oICM were explored. Via ‘extreme-group’ approach, we compared the 20% of participants with the largest changes into less favorable to the 20% with the largest changes into more favorable attitudes toward oICM over time.ResultsThe overall positive attitudes toward work-related oICM were more favorable at T1 (mean ± SD: 4.2 ± 0.6, median (IQR): 4.3 (0.8), n = 2,515) compared to T0 (4.1 ± 0.6, 4.1 (0.8), n = 2,417) but less favorable at T2 (3.9 ± 0.7, 4.0 (0.9), n = 2,062). Among others, feeling well-informed about possible work-related risks of infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), perceived psychosocial demands through work environment aspects, and perceived management’s commitment to safety and health were associated with long-term positive attitudes toward oICM. Individuals developing more favorable attitudes toward oICM reported feeling well-informed about possible work-related SARS-CoV-2 infection risks and improved COVID-19-specific resilience over time. Individuals developing less favorable attitudes toward oICM reported decreased perceptions of COVID-19-associated risks.ConclusionoICMs in the workplace were perceived appropriate even after COVID-19 vaccines were widely available although the perceived affective risks about SARS-CoV-2 decreased. Taken together, our findings highlight how organizations can support employees in adopting health-related preventive behavior. Among others, we found that feeling well-informed about possible work-related health risks was positively associated with long-term favorable attitudes toward work-related oICM. We expect that the results contribute to the development of interventions to prepare and adapt to future global public health concerns.

BackgroundThe low positive rate of blood cultures often leads to downstream consequences. We present a summary of multidisciplinary interventions implemented by a tertiary referral hospital to improve blood culture efficiency and optimize antimicrobial usage.MethodsWe evaluated the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of healthcare workers in a tertiary care hospital before and after intervention using a questionnaire. A multidisciplinary team was formed to implement the intervention, defining roles, standardizing procedures, continually improving education and feedback, and establishing incentive mechanisms. Regular quality control assessments are conducted on the responsible departments.ResultsFollowing the intervention, the median submission time for blood culture specimens was reduced from 2.2 h to 1.3 h (p &lt; 0.001). Additionally, the intervention group showed significant (p &lt; 0.05) increases in rates of positivity (9.9% vs. 8.6%), correct timing (98.7% vs. 89.6%), correct processing (98.1% vs. 92.3%), reduced contamination rates (0.9% vs. 1.4%), and disqualification rates (1.3% vs. 1.7%). The delivery rate of therapeutic antibacterial increased (16.1% vs. 15.2%), and the consumption of restrictive grade antimicrobial also significantly increased (26.7% vs. 22.9%). The intervention measures led to a substantial improvement in awareness and compliance with KAP of blood culture collection in the hospital. Hospital-wide antimicrobial usage deceased by 10.7% after intervention.ConclusionA multidisciplinary collaborative model proves effective in improving blood culture efficiency and optimizing antimicrobial usage.
How Green Space Justice in urban built-up areas affects public mental health: a moderated chain mediation model
Authors: Dong Tian , Zhong Qikang , Yue Bangguo 
Published: October 2024

BackgroundGreen and blue spaces, as crucial components of urban ecosystems, significantly impact the physical and mental health of residents. However, the mechanisms through which Green/Blue Space Justice influence residents’ health remain unclear.MethodsThis study aims to explore the impact of green spaces on public psychological responses, physical activity, and mental health from a justice perspective, and to examine the moderating role of blue spaces in this relationship. The research was conducted in selected communities within the Chang-Zhu-Tan urban agglomeration in Hunan Province, China. A total of 801 valid questionnaires were collected through field visits and online surveys. The study uses an improved Gaussian-based two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method to assess green space accessibility. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) and moderation effect analysis to reveal the relationships between variables.ResultsThe findings indicate that Green Space Justice has a significant positive impact on psychological responses, physical activity, and mental health; psychological responses and physical activity play crucial mediating roles between Green Space Justice and mental health; and Green Space Justice significantly affects mental health through a chain mediation path involving psychological responses and physical activity. Moreover, Blue Space Justice significantly moderates the impact of Green Space Justice on psychological responses and physical activity, but does not have a significant direct impact on mental health.ConclusionThis study enriches the theory of Green Space Justice by revealing the mechanisms through which it influences mental health via psychological responses and physical activity. It provides a scientific basis for the development of healthy cities. Additionally, it recommends that urban planning should prioritize the equitable distribution and high accessibility of both green and blue spaces to comprehensively enhance residents’ physical and mental well-being. Policymakers should consider prioritizing the accessibility of high-quality green spaces for vulnerable communities during urban renewal and expansion processes to reduce social health inequalities and promote broader public health outcomes.

IntroductionLong-duration commuting is widely recognized for its significant influence on health. However, while research has traditionally focused on direct impacts, there remains a critical need to explore the nonlinear dynamics of this relationship. This study aims to deepen our understanding of how behavioral preferences and built environments contribute to these complex interactions.MethodsThis study was conducted in Jinan, China’s most congested city, using data from the “Jinan Residents Commuting Survey” of 1,755 participants aged 19 to 59. We applied Generalized Propensity Score Matching (GPSM) to explore the nonlinear effects of commuting time on self-rated health, adjusting for participants’ sociodemographic characteristics. Variables related to active commuting, physical activity, and perceived built environment were also examined for their potential moderating effects.ResultsCommuting for less than 21 minutes enhances health, but negative effects intensify and peak at 60 minutes. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that women and older adults, especially those with higher incomes, are more susceptible to long commutes, experiencing a delayed onset of adverse effects. While active commuting offers health benefits, it may exacerbate health issues if prolonged. Conversely, regular physical activity consistently improves health outcomes related to commuting. Additionally, factors like residential greenery and walkability help alleviate commuting-related stress, improving the overall commuting-health dynamic.DiscussionThis study clarifies the commuting-health relationship by identifying key time thresholds and the positive effects of active commuting and physical activity on mitigating longer commute impacts. The findings inform healthier commuting behaviors and offer practical guidelines for urban planning and policy-making to enhance commuter well-being.

Published: October 2024

IntroductionForests are closely linked to human health, particularly about lung cancer incidence. However, there is currently limited research on how forest coverage and different types of forests influence lung cancer rates. This study aims to address this gap by examining how the coverage of various forest types impacts lung cancer incidence in Southwest China, thereby providing theoretical support for health-oriented forest structure planning.MethodsWe focused on 438 counties in Southwest China, employing spatial autocorrelation analysis (Moran’s I) and spatial regression models [including Spatial Lag Model (SLM), Spatial Error Model (SEM), and Spatial Durbin Model (SDM)] to explore the effects of forest coverage and internal forest structure on lung cancer incidence. We used ArcGIS to visualize lung cancer incidence and forest coverage rates across the study area.ResultsThe study found a significant negative correlation between forest coverage and lung cancer incidence. Specifically, for every 1% increase in forest coverage, lung cancer incidence decreased by 0.017 levels. Evergreen forests and mixed forests showed a significant negative impact on lung cancer rates, with evergreen forests having a particularly strong effect; a 1% increase in evergreen forest coverage was associated with a 0.027 level decrease in lung cancer incidence. In contrast, deciduous forests had no significant impact. Additionally, the study revealed a marked spatial heterogeneity in lung cancer incidence and forest coverage across Southwest China: higher lung cancer rates were observed in the eastern regions, while forest coverage was predominantly concentrated in the western and southern regions.DiscussionThis study demonstrates that increasing forest coverage, particularly of evergreen and mixed forests, can help reduce lung cancer incidence. This effect may be related to the ability of forests to absorb harmful gasses and particulate matter from the air. Furthermore, the spatial heterogeneity in lung cancer incidence suggests that regional economic development levels and urbanization processes may also play significant roles in the spatial distribution of lung cancer rates. The findings provide empirical support for the development of targeted forest conservation and development policies aimed at optimizing regional forest structures to reduce the risk of lung cancer.

Published: October 2024

ObjectiveTo measure the palatal soft tissue thickness and cortical bone density to determine safe regions for the placement of orthodontic mini-implants and to examine the influence of sex and age on soft tissue thickness and cortical bone density.Materials and methodsCone-beam computed tomography images of 42 patients (22 males and 20 females), including 21 adults and 21 adolescents, were examined in this study. The palatal soft tissue thickness and cortical bone density were measured at the coronal planes between the premolars (P4–5), between the second premolars and first molars (P5–6), and between the first molars and second molars (P6–7).ResultsThe thickness of the soft tissue revealed similar coronal planes, but the bone density varied. The mean thickness was 3.8 mm at 0°–60° and 1.5 mm at 60°–90°. P4–5 had the highest bone density (&gt;600 HU), decreasing toward P6–7 (&lt;600 HU). Bone density decreased from 90° to 0° coronally, whereas the soft tissue thickness increased. Age, sex, and their interaction affected bone and soft tissues.ConclusionsIn general, areas with a high bone density tended to have thin soft tissue coronally, thus the preferred implant site tends to be more anterior to the P4–5 plane and closer to 60°–90°. Considering individual variances, mapping of the recommended regions for palatal mini-implants is suggested.
Excess Thermodynamic Properties and FTIR Studies of Binary Mixtures of Toluene with 2-Propanol or 2-Methyl-1-Propanol
Authors: Naum Maria Magdalena , Dumitrescu Vasile 
Published: October 2024

Physical properties of the binary solutions, toluene with 2-propanol and 2-methyl-1-propanol, were measured at T = 293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15, and 313.15 K and P = 100 kPa. The experimental density values were tested with the Emmerling et al. and Gonzalez-Olmos–Iglesias equations. The results indicate that the equation by Emmerling et al. is the best to correlate the density for toluene + 2-methyl-1-propanol system, while for toluene + 2-propanol, both proposed equations are proper to correlate the density with composition and temperature. The viscosity results were verified with different models containing two adjustable parameters. The values of viscosity deviation (∆η), excess molar volume (VE), excess Gibbs energy (ΔG*E), partial molar volumes (V1¯ and V2¯), and apparent molar volume (Vφ,1 and Vφ,2) were calculated. The values of the excess molar volume were positive for both systems, while negative values were obtained for the viscosity deviation and the excess Gibbs energy. The excess properties of the mixtures were adjusted to the Redlich–Kister equation. The values of thermodynamic functions of activation of viscous flow were computed and analyzed. Additionally, the Prigogine–Flory–Patterson (PFP) theory was applied to calculate VE and then compared with experimental values. The values of the percentage absolute average deviation obtained suggest the validity of this theory. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra of the binary solutions studied in this work allowed for the understanding of the interactions between the molecules of these systems.

Key Points

Longer telomeres are associated with less cardiovascular mortality in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis.In patients with Balkan endemic nephropathy, telomere length was negatively associated with arterial stiffness and positively associated with survival.The association of Balkan endemic nephropathy with slower vascular aging and longer telomere length may partially explain this phenomenon.

Background
Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN) is characterized with later onset and milder forms of hypertension and lower pulse wave velocity than other ESKD. Longer telomeres are associated with better cardiovascular (CV) prognosis. Therefore, we hypothesized that telomere length (TL) could be longer in patients with BEN compared with other patients with ESKD.

Methods
A total of 124 patients undergoing hemodialysis (68 BEN, 56 non-BEN) were enrolled and followed-up for 72 months. TL was measured in leukocytes by Southern blot at inclusion.

Results
Age- and sex-adjusted TL was significantly longer in the BEN group (P < 0.001). TL was negatively associated with carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity in patients with BEN. Patients with BEN had significantly lower CV mortality than patients with non-BEN ESKD (P < 0.001). In the BEN group, shorter TL (1 kb change) was the only determinant of shorter survival (hazard ratio, 0.11). Using the TL threshold defined by receiver operating characteristic analysis (TL <6.21 kb), we showed in both groups significantly higher CV mortality in the presence of short telomeres (log-rank [Mantel-P < 0.001]).

Conclusions
Longer telomeres are associated with less CV mortality in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis. Patients with BEN had longer TL and longer survival than that of patients with other ESKD. In patients with BEN, TL was negatively associated with arterial stiffness and positively associated with survival. This study confirmed our hypothesis that BEN is associated with slower vascular aging and that longer TL may partially explain this phenomenon.

Народное искусство Хохломы, Палеха и Мстёры вызвало повышенный интерес советской поэзии конца 1960-х годов, благодаря новому туристическому осмыслению народной культуры. Доказывается, что образы народного искусства в этих стихах отражают то, как было принято говорить о них в советской критике, в которой литературные сюжеты понимались только как повод для соревнования мастеров в ремесле. Поэтому поэтов интересовали не художественные возможности ремесел, а способность мастера учесть предшествующую традицию, что усиливало историческую глубину стихов.
The folk art of Khokhloma, Palekh and Mstera aroused increased interest in Soviet poetry in the late 1960s, thanks to a new tourist comprehension of folk culture. It is proved that the images of folk art in these verses reflect the way it was customary to talk about them in Soviet criticism, in which literary plots were understood only as an occasion for the competition of masters in craft. Therefore, the poets were not interested in the artistic resources of crafts, but in the fitness of the master to take into account the previous tradition, which amplified the historical depth of the poems.
