ObjectivesTo identify clinical characteristics and risk factors for pulmonary involvements in asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant by chest imaging analysis.MethodsDetailed data and chest computed tomography (CT) imaging features were retrospectively analyzed from asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic patients infected with Omicron between 24 April and 10 May 2022. We scored chest CT imaging features and categorized the patients into obvious pulmonary involvements (OPI) (score &gt; 2) and not obvious pulmonary involvements (NOPI) (score ≤ 2) groups based on the median score. The risk factors for OPI were identified with analysis results visualized by nomogram.ResultsIn total, 339 patients were included (145 were male and 194 were female), and the most frequent clinical symptoms were cough (75.5%); chest CT imaging features were mostly linear opacities (42.8%). Pulmonary involvements were more likely to be found in the left lower lung lobe, with a significant difference in the lung total severity score of the individual lung lobes (p &lt; 0.001). Logistic regression analysis revealed age stratification [odds ratio (OR) = 1.92, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.548–2.383); p &lt; 0.001], prolonged nucleic acid negative conversion time (NCT) (NCT &gt; 8d) [OR = 1.842, 95% CI (1.104–3.073); p = 0.019], and pulmonary diseases [OR = 4.698, 95% CI (1.159–19.048); p = 0.03] as independent OPI risk factors.ConclusionAsymptomatic and mildly symptomatic patients infected with Omicron had pulmonary involvements which were not uncommon. Potential risk factors for age stratification, prolonged NCT, and pulmonary diseases can help clinicians to identify OPI in asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic patients infected with Omicron.

IntroductionThe public health concern of tobacco smoking is more prevalent in low- and middle-income countries including Ethiopia. Various studies have investigated tobacco smoking in various parts of Ethiopia. However, the findings have been inconsistent and characterized by significant variability. Besides, there is no nationally representative data on the subject, which could deter the design of effective intervention strategies to reduce tobacco-related problems. Therefore, this study aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence of tobacco smoking and associated factors among adults in Ethiopia.MethodsThe study was conducted based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocols Guideline. A detailed search was conducted from international databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Science Direct, CINAHL, African Journals Online, HINARI, Global Health, and Google Scholar. The extracted data was analyzed using STATA 14 software. A random-effects model was used to estimate the effect size. The Egger regression test and I2 statistics were used to determine potential publication bias and heterogeneity among the reviewed articles, respectively.ResultsA total of 32 studies with 69,897 study participants were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of lifetime tobacco smoking among adults in Ethiopia was 16.0% (95% confidence Interval (CI): 13.6–18.39) and there was significant heterogeneity among the included studies (I2 = 99.1%, p &lt; 0.001). Male adults were three times more likely to smoke tobacco as compared with females [OR = 3.22 (95% CI: 2.06–5.03)]. Being an alcohol user [OR = 3.78 (95%CI: 1.27–11.24)] and having tobacco-smoking friends [OR = 7.21 (95%CI: 5.56–9.35)] are potential determinant factors for tobacco smoking.ConclusionThe pooled prevalence of lifetime and current tobacco smoking among adults in Ethiopia was high, which calls for urgent intervention. Therefore, prioritization of tobacco control strategies, such as creating awareness about the public health importance of tobacco smoking, can help prevent and mitigate the effects of tobacco smoking. Alcohol control law enforcement should also be strengthened.

Published: July 2024

BackgroundResidents’ health plays an important role in economic prosperity and national development.MethodsThe research analyzes data from 262 prefecture-level cities in China spanning the period from 2010 to 2021. Utilizing the implementation of green credit policy in China as a quasi-natural experiment, the paper employs the time-varying Differences-in- Differences (DID) model to evaluate the influence of green credit policy on residents’ health.ResultsThe paper results show that: (1) the green credit policy significantly improves residents’ health, and this conclusion still holds after a series of robustness tests. (2) Mechanism analysis reveals that the green credit policy affects residents’ health through the improvements of the environment and the elevation of public services standards in demonstration cities. (3) Heterogeneity analysis shows that the impact of green credit policy on residents’ health is more significant in the western cities and resource-based cities than in the central-eastern cities and non-resource-based cities. This paper explains the specific path and realization of green credit policy to enhance residents’ health, which provides a reference for further designing and improving effective green credit policy.DiscussionThe deficiencies within the green credit policy has resulted in limited improvements. It is recommended that China should broaden the ambit of the green credit policy and refine the criteria for its execution.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to determine the prevalence of medical student mistreatment in Lebanon, the framework of the incidents, and the extent of students’ knowledge on mistreatment characteristics.MethodsThis is a cross-sectional study conducted using an online-based survey among medical students who have performed clinical rotations in Lebanon.ResultsOut of 300 respondents, 48.7% reported being subjected to mistreatment during clinical practice, which was significantly associated with gender, type of university, and family income. The two most common sources of mistreatment were patients and their families/friends (77.4%), and attending physicians (52.7%), followed by residents (49.3%). Students mostly chose to be passive and pacifying. Additionally, 64.7% of students stated they were not trained about the ideal way to handle these incidents.ConclusionThis study showed that medical student mistreatment is highly prevalent in Lebanon. It also highlighted the lack of proper education on mistreatment characteristics and the necessity for investigating its effects.

Do Global Factors Drive Herd Behavior in Asymmetric: Evidence from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand
Authors: Gusni Gusni , Komariah Siti , Riantani Suskim 
Published: July 2024

The occurrence of several crises in recent decades has led to significant uncertainty in the capital market, potentially fostering tendencies for herd behavior. This conduct may manifest in situations of asymmetry when the market experiences varying conditions (market up and down). Herd behavior in asymmetric can be driven by a variety of global influences, such as the Federal Funds Rate and the world oil price. The aim of this research is to investigate whether herd behavior exists under asymmetric conditions, and to explore the influence of global factors on such behavior within the manufacturing sectors listed in the capital markets of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand using daily closing stock price information from January 2015 to December 2022. This research utilizes a cross-sectional dispersion methodology and incorporates a dummy variable within the standard model to accomplish its research objective. The findings denote that asymmetric herding tendencies are evident solely among manufacturing firms listed on the Indonesian stock market during downturns, contrasting with the absence of such behavior in Malaysia and Thailand during market fluctuations. In Indonesia, global factors do not play a significant role in prompting asymmetric herding, whereas in Malaysia and Thailand, are more influenced by the Federal Funds Rate.

Isomorphism in Literary Criticism: Reading in Two Poetical Verses of Imro' Al-Qais and Al-Mutanabi
Authors: جميل رامي 
Published: July 2024

This study investigates the concept of artistic isomorphism in literary criticism field that is based on proportional structure and contextualized words. Historically, isomorphism between two lines of the verse were argumentatively discussed by both classical and contemporary critics similar to argument related to two verses of Imro' Al-Qais and Al-Mutanabi. This concept was discussed from two aspects: the theoretical study resided on the artistic concept of isomorphism by analyzing comments by the critics and rhetoricians on the narrative collected to the Fiqh, isomorphic parts, consistent structure and others. The empirical part analyzed two poetical verses attributed to two renowned poets Imro' al-Qais and Al-Mutanabi to demonstrate the significance of isomorphism in the poetical structure as a critical tool for greater in-depth understanding of the text. The study concluded with a number of results, most importantly: First: Critics neither provided clear definition of artistic isomorphism, nor they dealt with it from a criticism approach. Instead, they viewed it as a poetical component and an essential artistic phenomenon of the poetical text structure; contrary to the rhetorical isomorphism that was clearly defined and elaborately discussed with evidence from the poetry.
Second: Artistic isomorphism was not viewed by critics and rhetoricians as only represented by symmetry and consistency; rather they semantically considered synonyms and antonyms as another form of artistic isomorphism.
Third: The order in which Imro' Al-Qais and Al-Mutanabi put their respective two poetical verses was true and consistent with artistic isomorphism doctrine, contrary to the view adopted by other critics and rhetoricians that the two poets were incorrect.
Fourth: Conceptually, the artistic isomorphism juxtaposes two components of the Arabian vertical poetry and complies with such concepts like textual coherence, cohesion, consistency and other concepts.
