Published: July 2024

Introduction Caregivers play an important role in contributing to self-care in patients with heart failure (HF). To date, knowledge regarding factors associated with caregiver contributions to self-care remains limited, particularly in Thai patients with HF.
Objective This study aimed to 1) describe caregiver contributions to self-care, and 2) examine factors predicting caregiver contributions (self-care maintenance, symptom perception, self-care management) of patients with HF.
Design This correlational predictive study was guided by a situation-specific theory of caregiver contributions to heart failure self-care. Methodology The study included 128 caregivers of patients with heart failure, who were purposively selected based on the following inclusion criteria: aged at least 18 years, unpaid for their caregiving tasks, and living with the patients who attended the heart failure clinic and general internal medicine clinic at an outpatient department of a super-tertiary hospital from April to August 2023. Data collection was conducted using questionnaires and record forms, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, simple linear regression, and multiple linear regression.
Results The majority of the participants were female (75.78%), with an average age of 46.10 years (SD = 13.74). Caregiver contributions (CC) to symptom perception and self-care maintenance were found to be adequate, with means of 73.38 (SD = 14.83) and 72.72 (SD = 13.75), respectively. In contrast, self-care management was deemed inadequate, with a mean of 68.83 (SD = 16.56). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that health perception and self-efficacy together predicted CC for symptom perception, explaining 35.20% of the variance. Health perception, self-efficacy, and positive aspects of caregiving together predicted CC to self-care maintenance, explaining 31.50% of variance. Self-efficacy and comorbidities in patients together predicted CC to self-care management, explaining 21.20% of variance. While the status of caregivers to patients was not a statistically significant predictor of all three dimensions of CC to self-care in the patients with HF in this study.
Recommendation The results of this study can be utilized to develop specific programs aimed at enhancing caregiver contributions to the self-care of patients with HF, particularly in promoting self-efficacy, positive aspects of caregiving, caregivers’ health perception, and managing the comorbidities of the patients.

Published: July 2024

The present experiment was conducted to estimate themheterosis and dominance effects in the inheritance of fruitmyield and its contributing traits in cucumber by using ninem parents (6 lines and 3 testers) crossed in Line × Tester design. ANOVA for Line × Tester analysis revealed thepresence of sufficient genetic diversity for different traits in the experimental material. The mid parent heterosis among different genotypes was obtained in both positive and negative direction for different traits under study. Maximum average heterosis was observed for the yield per hectare followed by the seed vigour index II, number of marketable fruits per plant, severity of downy mildew, average fruit weight, harvest duration, severity of powdery mildew, node number bearing first female flower, fruit length, incidence of fruit fly, fruit breadth, seed vigour index I, total soluble solids, seed germination, days to marketable maturity anddays to first female flower appearance. Partial to over dominance effects were involved in the inheritance of the studied traits. Hybrids estimated positive or negative potence ratio with >1 value is the indication of prevalence of over dominance in desirable direction and scope for exploitation via heterosis breeding in cucumber. Experimental results revealed that among 18 crosses, five crosses naming LC-1-1 × K-75, LC-1-1 × Poinsette, LC-2-2 × K-75, LC-2-2 × Poinsette and CGN-20515 × Poinsette were found superior on the basis of overall mean performance and heterotic response for most of the traits. These hybrid combinations could be exploited commercially for the development of hybrids/varieties for better yield, quality (TSS), insect-pest & disease resistance and seed traits in cucumber.

Published: July 2024

This paper describes an efficient approach to fabricate Fe-Porphyrin thin film deposited on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite substrate (HOPG/FePP) via the dip-coating method serving as a novel electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in acidic medium. The electrochemical, morphological behaviors and surface structure at the molecular level of the HOPG/FePP as well as its catalytic activities were characterized upon employing a state-of-the-art toolbox including cyclic voltammetry (CV), atomic force microscopy (AFM), electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (EC-STM) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). Consequently, the HOPG/ FePP thin film exhibited a significantly enhanced catalytic activity for ORR under applied experimental conditions.

Authors: Tenkorang-Twum David , Atibila Fidelis , Gyapong Philimon 
Published: July 2024

Objective:
This paper aimed to evaluate hazards contributing to patient safety incidents within Ghana’s healthcare system using a human factors engineering model to trace risks across interacting domains.
Methods:
The Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS) model framed analysis of challenges within the dimensions of healthcare Personnel, Tasks, Tools/Technology, Environment, Organization and Processes. Over 25 studies provided multi-dimensional empirical evidence, with insights synthesized across domains to depict risk pathways enabling patient harm events.
Conclusions:
The analysis reveals a severely overburdened and constrained healthcare ecosystem unable to reliably deliver safe care processes – with risks stemming from financing limitations, infrastructure deficits, equipment failures, health worker shortages and skills gaps, supply variability, leadership prioritization, and information systems. Solutions require coordinated commitment across these interdependent aspects.
Recommendations:
Six priority actions are proposed spanning governance, culture, staffing, health IT, quality programs and financing – grounded in concrete evidence-based initiatives but connected through systems thinking.
Significance:
This systems analysis substantially advances understanding of patient safety threats in Ghana to motivate action. The model approach further demonstrates application of human factors engineering methods to diagnose healthcare quality challenges in limited-resource settings.

Published: December 2012

AbstractObjectiveThe aim of this study was to enhance public health preparedness for incidents that involve the large-scale release of a hazardous substance by examining factors likely to influence public responses to official guidance on how to limit their exposure.MethodsAn online demographically representative survey was conducted in the United Kingdom (n = 601) and Poland (n = 602) to test the strength of association of trust in authorities, anxiety, threat, and coping appraisals with the intention to comply with advice to shelter in place following a hypothetical chemical spill. The impact of ease of compliance and style of message presentation were also examined.ResultsParticipants were more likely to comply if at home when the incident happened, but message presentation had little impact. Coping appraisals and trust were key predictors of compliance, but threat appraisals were associated with noncompliance. Anxiety was seen to promote behavioral change. UK participants were more likely to comply than Polish participants.ConclusionsSuccessful crisis communications during an emergency should aim to influence perceptions regarding the efficacy of recommended behaviors, the difficulties people may have in following advice, and perceptions about the cost of following recommended behaviors. Generic principles of crisis communication may need adaptation for national contexts. (Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2013;7:65-74)
Resummation in nonlinear equation for high energy factorizable gluon density and its extension to include coherence
Authors: Kutak Krzysztof 
Published: December 2012

AbstractMotivated by forthcoming p-Pb experiments at Large Hadron Collider which require both knowledge of gluon densities accounting for saturation and for processes at a wide range ofptwe study basic momentum space evolution equations of high energy QCD factorization. Solutions of those equations might be used to form a set of gluon densities to calculate observables in generalized high energy factorization. Moreover in order to provide a framework for predictions for exclusive final states in p-Pb scattering with highptwe rewrite the equation for the high energy factorizable gluon density in a resummed form, similarly to what has been done in [1] for the BK equation. The resummed equation is then extended to account for colour coherence. This introduces an external scale to the evolution of the gluon density, and therefore makes it applicable in studies of final states.
Does parentification place Mexican‐heritage youth at risk for substance use? Identifying the intervening nature of parent–child communication about alcohol
Authors: Shin YoungJu , Hecht Michael L. 
Published: December 2012

ABSTRACTPast research on parentification suggests that adopting adult responsibilities to the point at which the child plays a parental role places children at risk for poor mental and behavioral health outcomes. Since family relations are particularly important in Mexican culture, two hypotheses were posed to examine the indirect effects of parentification on Mexican‐heritage youths' substance use via parent–child communication about alcohol, while examining the moderating effects of parent–child closeness. Mexican‐heritage youth (N = 697) from 23 public middle schools in Phoenix, AZ completed surveys at three waves. Structural equation modeling results provided partial support for the hypotheses. Mexican‐heritage youth experiencing problem‐solving parentification were more likely to talk with a parent about alcohol and, in turn, less likely to use substances. This mediation effect, however, was not found with respect to adult parentification, and parent–child closeness was not a significant moderator. Implications for the beneficial effects of problem‐solving parentification are discussed.
Empirical Evidence of Repertoire Size
Authors: Banelis Melissa , Riebe Erica , Rungie Campbell M. 
Published: December 2012

Empirical research over several decades has demonstrated that the average buyer in a repeat-purchase category purchases a repertoire of brands. While the commonality of this behaviour and its implications for managers are widely cited, little is known about the characteristics of a typical repertoire, and the market factors that may influence the make-up of the repertoire. Such knowledge would be a useful precursor to the implementation of marketing efforts for brands in such categories. This paper provides much needed descriptive knowledge of the typical repertoire (i.e. its size and how it varies across consumers, time and categories). We describe this for all brands in two data sets, one containing 48 consumer goods categories and one containing 74 consumer goods categories. Our research provides information on what is typical given specific market conditions for categories and brands within those categories and thus allows for managers to measure the impact that their activities have on repertoire buying behaviour.

AbstractObjectiveTo assess the determinants of sexual dysfunction among middle‐aged women.MethodsIn a cross‐sectional, questionnaire‐based study of middle‐aged women (aged 40–65 years) attending a public healthcare facility in Natal, Brazil, data on sociodemographic, clinical, and behavioral characteristics were collected between May and October 2011. The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), Blatt–Kupperman Menopausal Index (BKMI), International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), and WHO quality of life questionnaire (WHOQOL‐Bref) were used to collect data, which were analyzed by relative frequency and percentage of variables, followed by Pearson χ2 test and logistic regression analysis.ResultsAmong 370 study participants, 67% exhibited sexual dysfunction (FSFI ≤ 26.55). Women who were in the oldest age group (56–65 years) (P < 0.001), were divorced or separated (P < 0.001), were sedentary (P = 0.006), had undergone a hysterectomy (P = 0.016), had strong climacteric symptoms (P < 0.001), or had low quality of life (P < 0.001) had a significantly higher incidence of sexual dysfunction. Logistic regression showed that the eldest group of women (55–65 years) (95% CI, 3.4–15.7; P < 0.001), with the strongest climacteric manifestations (95% CI, 3.4–15.7; P < 0.001) and lowest quality of life (95% CI, 3.2–13.8; P < 0.001), were most likely to develop sexual dysfunction.ConclusionSexual dysfunction was found to be substantially influenced by sociodemographic, biologic, and behavioral variables.
