Published: June 2024

ObjectiveThis study investigated changes in the emotional availability of the parent and the child in the dyadic relationship, parental reflective functioning, and parental perception of the relationship with their child following treatment with an integrated family approach in adult and child mental health care services. The aim of the study was to investigate if an integrated family approach in treatment contributes to good practice in mental health care.BackgroundChildren of parents with a mental disorder are at increased risk for developing mental health problems themselves during lifetime. Infants are extremely vulnerable for environmental influences. Parents with mental disorders are at risk for mis-attuned behavior and non-optimal emotional availability. This increases the risk of adverse cascading effects on the parent-child relationship and child development. A secure parent-child relationship is an important protective factor against the intergenerational transmission of mental disorders. Although treatment of the parental mental disorder is important, it does not automatically change undesirable patterns in the parent-child relationship. Therefore, an integrated family approach to mental health treatment is recommended.MethodsThis study involved a mixed methods design using questionnaires, an observation instrument and semi-structured interviews. The variables examined were the quality of the parent-child interaction, the parental perspective on their relationship with the child, their problems with child upbringing, and on their parental reflective functioning. The clinical sample consisted of 50 patients with a variety of mental disorders and their young children.ResultsAfter finishing the integrated treatment the quality of the parent-child interaction had improved significantly. Likewise, we found a significant improvement in parental perception regarding the relationship with the child and the parental role. The majority of the parents interviewed showed that they were better able to mentalize about themselves, their child and their relationship with the child, but the data from the questionnaire showed mixed results regarding parents’ reflective functioning.ConclusionTreatment with an integrated family approach to mental health care in which the parental role of the patient, the young child, and the parent-child relationship are integrated in treatment, can be a valuable addition to the current practice of mental health care in which patients are commonly perceived as individuals.

BackgroundSchizophrenia (SZ) is a psychiatric condition that adversely affects an individual’s cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects. The etiology of SZ, although extensively studied, remains unclear, as multiple factors come together to contribute toward its development. There is a consistent body of evidence documenting the presence of structural and functional deviations in the brains of individuals with SZ. Moreover, the hereditary aspect of SZ is supported by the significant involvement of genomics markers. Therefore, the need to investigate SZ from a multi-modal perspective and develop approaches for improved detection arises.MethodsOur proposed method employed a deep learning framework combining features from structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and genetic markers such as single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). For sMRI, we used a pre-trained DenseNet to extract the morphological features. To identify the most relevant functional connections in fMRI and SNPs linked to SZ, we applied a 1-dimensional convolutional neural network (CNN) followed by layerwise relevance propagation (LRP). Finally, we concatenated these obtained features across modalities and fed them to the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) tree-based classifier to classify SZ from healthy control (HC).ResultsExperimental evaluation on clinical dataset demonstrated that, compared to the outcomes obtained from each modality individually, our proposed multi-modal approach performed classification of SZ individuals from HC with an improved accuracy of 79.01%.ConclusionWe proposed a deep learning based framework that selects multi-modal (sMRI, fMRI and genetic) features efficiently and fuse them to obtain improved classification scores. Additionally, by using Explainable AI (XAI), we were able to pinpoint and validate significant functional network connections and SNPs that contributed the most toward SZ classification, providing necessary interpretation behind our findings.
Identifying factors influencing local governments’ adoption of comprehensive smoke-free policies: an event history analysis based on panel data from 36 key cities in China (2013–2021)

IntroductionThe issue of tobacco control remains a significant concern for public health worldwide. In recent years, remarkable progress has been made toward adopting smoke-free measures in indoor public places. Although China has yet to introduce a national regulation, specifically for smoke-free public places, more than a dozen cities have successively approved and implemented comprehensive smoke-free regulations. Different cities in China have diverse attitudes and behaviors toward smoke-free policies; however, the reasons for these policy differences and the influencing factors have not received sufficient attention and research.MethodsOn the basis of the multiple streams framework, this study selects 36 key Chinese cities as research samples and uses a directed dyad-year event history analysis method to analyze the factors influencing the implementation of comprehensive smoke-free policies in cities.ResultsResults show that the adoption of such policies is positively influenced by scientific evidence, focal events, media coverage, institutional foundations, economic comparisons, and the influence of health departments and of tobacco control groups. By contrast, policy adoption is negatively affected by the differences in administrative levels, central policy signals, and the influence of the tobacco industry.DiscussionThis study contributes to understanding the internal logic behind local governments’ adoption of comprehensive smoke-free policies, offering insights for further advocacy at the city and national levels in China and providing experiences that can promote the global tobacco control movement.

Published: June 2024

BackgroundHealth is partly determined by the physical environment in which people live. It is therefore crucial to consider health when designing the physical living space. This requires collaboration between the social and physical domains within municipalities. Collaboration is not self-evident, however, and it is difficult to achieve due to barriers relating to culture, language and work processes. Additionally, improvements in collaboration are desperately needed to address complex health issues, and working according to the new Environment and Planning Act in the Netherlands requires more collaboration. One relevant question concerns how civil servants describe the current collaboration between the social and physical domain and the concrete improvements they propose to improve such collaboration to build a healthier living environment.MethodsIn this qualitative study, the Collaborative Governance framework was used to present data from semi-structured interviews with 21 civil servants in five Dutch municipalities. Respondents were asked to reflect on their current experiences with collaboration and suggest concrete opportunities for improving collaboration.ResultsThe results indicate that enhancing collaboration between the social and physical domains can be achieved by proceeding from the inhabitants’ perspective, as well as by encouraging aldermen and managerial personnel to take a more active and committed role in collaboration. This involves formulating and communicating a joint vision, in addition to guiding and facilitating collaboration through integrated assignments, forming multidisciplinary teams and appointing boundary-spanners. Civil servants see a clear role for themselves in the collaborative process. They recognize their own contributions to and obligations in enhancing collaboration by actively seeking contact, absorbing each other’s perspectives and pursuing common ground, starting today.ConclusionThere are many concrete opportunities to improve collaboration between the social and physical domains. This could be initiated immediately if civil servants, managers and aldermen approach collaboration as an essential part of their jobs and acknowledge the interdependency that exits.

Published: June 2024

BackgroundFatigue poses risks to occupational health and safety, affecting individuals' work efficiency, physical health, and social security, as well as human wellbeing and quality of life. Olfactory interventions, due to their low interference, are considered promising strategies for mitigating fatigue and reducing occupational health hazards.ObjectiveThe objective of this review is to bridge the current gaps in the literature by conducting a scoping review of olfactory interventions on human alertness. It aims to explore their application in various occupational settings and to provide comprehensive and practical guidance for the practical application of olfactory interventions in mitigating fatigue and reducing occupational risks.MethodsThe literature research was conducted in English using electronic databases such as Web of Science. Keywords related to scent and fatigue and the review followed PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews and PICO framework.Results28 studies were included in this work. Participant characteristics, fatigue measurement methods, and scent intervention methods, such as types of scents, intervention strategies, and scent presentation systems, are thoroughly investigated and discussed. Additionally, the study places a specific emphasis on the applications and research within the field of scent interventions for fatigue driving. Olfactory interventions have been applied to populations in various occupational fields, demonstrating beneficial effects on both physiological and psychological fatigue.ConclusionsOlfactory intervention is effective and promising for enhancing alertness and improving the occupational environment. To provide detailed and practical guidance for the actual application of olfactory intervention in fatigue relief and reducing occupational health and safety hazards, further research into the potential mechanisms, applications, and efficacy assessment systems of fatigue-related olfactory interventions is necessary.

Published: June 2024

BackgroundPebrine, caused by microsporidium Nosema bombycis, is a devastating disease that causes serious economic damages to the sericulture industry. Studies on development of therapeutic and diagnostic options for managing pebrine in silkworms are very limited. Methionine aminopeptidase type 2 (MetAP2) of microsporidia is an essential gene for their survival and has been exploited as the cellular target of drugs such as fumagillin and its analogues in several microsporidia spp., including Nosema of honeybees.MethodsIn the present study, using molecular and bioinformatics tools, we performed in-depth characterization and phylogenetic analyses of MetAP2 of Nosema bombycis isolated from Guangdong province of China.ResultsThe full length of MetAP2 gene sequence of Nosema bombycis (Guangdong isolate) was found to be 1278 base pairs (bp), including an open reading frame of 1,077 bp, encoding a total of 358 amino acids. The bioinformatics analyses predicted the presence of typical alpha-helix structural elements, and absence of transmembrane domains and signal peptides. Additionally, other characteristics of a stable protein were also predicted. The homology-based 3D models of MetAP2 of Nosema bombycis (Guangdong isolate) with high accuracy and reliability were developed. The MetAP2 protein was expressed and purified. The observed molecular weight of MetAP2 protein was found to be ~43–45 kDa. The phylogenetic analyses showed that MetAP2 gene and amino acids sequences of Nosema bombycis (Guangdong isolate) shared a close evolutionary relationship with Nosema spp. of wild silkworms, but it was divergent from microsporidian spp. of other insects, Aspergillus spp., Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and higher animals including humans. These analyses indicated that the conservation and evolutionary relationships of MetAP2 are closely linked to the species relationships.ConclusionThis study provides solid foundational information that could be helpful in optimization and development of diagnostic and treatment options for managing the threat of Nosema bombycis infection in sericulture industry of China.

Published: June 2024

Apesar do volume de recursos públicos investidos em educação no Brasil, não se pode afirmar que tal aporte resulte em ensino de qualidade. Em avaliações nacionais e internacionais a educação brasileira vem apresentando resultados insuficientes. Aliado a esse contexto, que evidencia a necessidade de uso eficiente dos recursos públicos, ocorre no Brasil, desde 2008, processo de convergência das normas vigentes de contabilidade do setor público às normas internacionais de contabilidade denominadas International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) com vistas a melhorar a qualidade das informações contábeis e o processo de tomada de decisão. Diante desse cenário, o objetivo do presente estudo é avaliar se a qualidade da informação contábil impacta a eficiência técnica em educação em âmbito estadual. A metodologia compreende a Análise Envoltória de Dados (DEA) para avaliação da eficiência técnica relativa dos estados em educação. Em seguida, relaciona-se a eficiência com a qualidade da informação contábil por meio de regressão OLS. Os resultados sugerem uma relação negativa entre a qualidade de informação contábil e eficiência em educação. Ademais, o estudo visa contribuir com as discussões acerca da relação entre a eficiência e a qualidade de informação contábil no âmbito do setor público brasileiro e, sobretudo, dos efeitos do processo de harmonização da contabilidade pública brasileira às IPSAS.

Authors: Al-Sharifi Ehan , Al-Mahmood Asia Abed , Al-Mahmood Abid 
Published: June 2024

Background: Bacteriuria is defined as the presence of bacteria in urine without the accompanying signs and symptoms of a urinary tract infection. The most common bacterium causing bacteriuria is E. coli. About 1-5% of healthy premenopausal women and 1.9-9.5% of pregnant women have bacteriuria. The most effective drugs based on urine culture results were Nitrofurantoin (98.3%), followed by Cefuroxime (89.3%) and Cotrimoxazole (20%).
Aim and objectives: To identify the distribution of bacteria according to drug resistance among adult women with bacteriuria in Samara city, Iraq, and to determine certain influencing factors.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on adult women (18-44 years) attending Samara General Hospital. Demographic information and investigation results were obtained and reported using an appropriate questionnaire. A patient with asymptomatic bacteriuria was identified when one species of bacteria grew in the urine with at least 100,000 colony-forming units (CFUs) per milliliter, regardless of the presence of pyuria, even in the absence of any UTI symptoms. Frequencies (number of cases) and percentages were used to statistically describe the data where appropriate. Comparison between the study groups was performed using the Chi-square (χ2) test. P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Results: The frequency of bacterial growth in the sample was 19%. The highest frequency of cases was among the age group 28-37 years (22.4%). Positive cases were more prevalent among pregnant women (21.4%) than non-pregnant women (13.3%). Staphylococcus was the most frequently identified bacterium (42%), followed by E. coli (39%), Klebsiella (11%), and Streptococcus (8%). The drug with the highest sensitivity to bacterial growth was Amikacin, followed by Meropenem.
Conclusions: The frequency of bacterial growth was 19%. The most frequently isolated bacteria from the culture were Staphylococcus, followed by E. coli. The most sensitive drug was Amikacin, followed by Meropenem.

Published: June 2024

Introduction: The zoonotic features and potential for transmission between animals and humans make the monkeypox (MPX) virus, a member of the orthopoxvirus family, a serious threat. Unfortunately, healthcare staff's lack of knowledge and readiness about MPX has made it harder to implement effective prevention and response plans. Our current understanding of the KAPs (Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices) among Jordanian clinicians could benefit from additional research.
Methods: This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the MPX KAP among 300 healthcare workers (HCWs) in two private hospitals in the Irbid governorate of Jordan. We employed descriptive statistics, such as percentages and frequencies, as well as an independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, and multiple linear regression (enter method) for data analysis.
Results: Although differences existed between demographic groups, the study found that participants had an average level of MPX knowledge proficiency. Out of a total of 300 participants, 196 were female and 104 were male, with 52.7% in the 20–30 age bracket. Compared to their female counterparts, male respondents exhibited higher levels of knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding MPX. Attitudes and practices towards MPX varied by age group and level of education, demonstrating how demographic factors impact these aspects of public health. Additionally, monkeypox attitudes were lower among women, those with a diploma degree, and those aged 31–40.
Conclusions: Healthcare staff require adequate training and continuous education to address their lack of knowledge and attitudes regarding MPX protection. Staying updated about new illnesses like MPX is crucial, as the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated. To effectively tackle global health concerns, continuous learning and up-to-date knowledge are essential.
