BackgroundHealth-seeking behavior (HSB) is a choice taken by an individual to maintain, achieve, or restore good health and prevent diseases. The purpose of this study is to examine the determinants of HSB among the Iraqi population.MethodsThis cross-sectional study in the Rusafa and Karkh districts of Baghdad investigated determinants of HSB from 2022 to 2023. With a sample size of 993 participants meeting inclusion criteria, data were collected through a self-reported questionnaire, utilizing four indicators to measure HSB. The study employed various statistical methods especially logistic regression models, facilitated by Stata 17 software.ResultsResults highlights that married individuals consistently have higher odds of having HSB compared to their single counterparts, with an odds ratio (OR) of 2.09 (95% confidence interval: 1.41–3.10). This relationship remains robust even after controlling for other variables. Furthermore, individuals with higher social class exhibit stronger connections to HSB, although the OR is 1.69 (95% CI: 0.47–6.13), indicating a wide confidence interval. Regarding underlying diseases and their duration, the results indicate that chronic diseases are associated with a higher likelihood of HSB, with an OR of 2.05 (95% CI: 1.35–3.11). Additionally, a longer duration of diseases in terms of years is also linked to a stronger association with HSB, with an OR of 2.86 (95% CI: 1.32–6.23).ConclusionIn conclusion, this work provides important insights into HSB. Married people are continuously more likely to engage in HSB than single people, highlighting the importance of customized interventions. Furthermore, persons from higher social classes have stronger ties to HSB, highlighting the importance of socioeconomic considerations. The link between HSB and chronic diseases, combined with longer disease durations, emphasizes the importance of early detection and thorough healthcare management. These findings give critical guidance for healthcare providers, marketers, and politicians developing effective initiatives to promote HSB.

Published: June 2024

BackgroundIntersectional approaches are needed to disaggregate the complex interaction of social identities contributing to (mental) health disparities. Health anxiety represents an overlooked public mental health issue. Therefore, intersectional inequalities in health anxiety were examined using multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (MAIHDA).MethodsAnalyses are based on cross-sectional data of the adult population living in Germany (N = 2,413). Health anxiety was assessed with the Whiteley Index-7. Applying intersectional MAIHDA, health anxiety in the intersectional strata of gender, history of migration, and income was predicted. Discriminatory accuracy was assessed via the intra-class correlation and the proportional change in variance.ResultsAnalyses revealed additive social inequalities in health anxiety with greatest impact of low income but no clear intersectional gradient. Most affected by health anxiety were females who immigrated themselves with low income, males whose parent(s) immigrated with low income, and males who immigrated themselves with medium income.ConclusionIntersectional approaches contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of (mental) health disparities. In addition to general efforts to counteract health inequalities, combining universal screening and targeted psychotherapeutic treatment seems promising to specifically reduce inequalities in health anxiety.

Thinning is a crucial approach to the near-natural conversion of plantations, contributing to the sustainability of forest management. However, over a rotation, the effects of thinning on tree growth, structure, and species diversity, as well as their scale-dependent outcomes, remain unclear. Ten years after conducting individual tree thinning in a Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook.) monoculture in southwest China, we analyzed the thinning effects within the influence zone (r = 0–2.5 m) centered around stumps and center trees. The results indicate that (1) individual tree thinning did not significantly promote the increment of diameter at breast height, volume, and biomass of Chinese fir. The four nearest Chinese fir around stumps and center trees were in a state of random distribution, high mixing, and dominance; (2) individual tree thinning significantly promoted the formation of species abundance and richness at r = 2–2.5 m. With increased scale, more species were found, leading to increased stability in diameter and species distribution. Linear and nonlinear relationships between diameter classes, mingling, and dominance became more stable; (3) later-coming populations within both modes exhibited a common characteristic of random distribution, high mixing, and disadvantage at each scale, but with significant differences in species composition (kj = 0.22–0.61). These results suggest that individual tree thinning has limited impacts on the growth and structure of retained trees in Chinese fir plantations but significantly enhances the formation of species diversity, demonstrating scale effects. This underscores the feasibility of individual tree thinning in the near-natural conversion of plantations.
From Unemployment to Self-employment, an Investigation into the Profile of ‘this’ Entrepreneur

Published: June 2024

Richard Cantillon, who in 1734 introduced the term ‘entrepreneur’ into economic literature, described entrepreneurship as ‘‘Self-employment of any and every sort" (Long 1983 P 48) Self-employment is entrepreneurship at its simplest form. According to O’Kane (1997) entrepreneurship is “The dynamic process of creating wealth, undertaken hy people who assume a risk in terms of money, energy, time and/or career commitment, and creating value through the provision of some product or service. ” (O’Kane 1997 P 6) Entrepreneurship is nothing new. Men without wealth have always been attracted by the prospect of attaining it and the opportunities, which it affords. (Bruce 1986). A large proportion of the labour force would like to be their own boss. Self- employment presents an opportunity for the individual to set his own schedule. Entrepreneurs can work when they like, they answer to nobody and ultimately perhaps it is the way to become rich. The entrepreneur is the key to the successful launch of any business. He perceives a market opportunity and has the motivation, drive and ability to mobilise resources to meet it. Unfortunately on the downside, if the business fails it may take with it the entrepreneurs employment, their savings and their home. Governments on the other hand frequently see entrepreneurship as a route out of poverty and disadvantage and for this reason the transition from unemployment to self-employment is seen as an answer to high unemployment levels. Active labour market policies in many industrial countries aim "To shift people out of the unemployment status and to reduce the level of unemployment" (Pfeiffer and Reize 1998 PI) An individual’s decision to establish a business may depend on the attractiveness of the available alternatives for making a living. In Ireland the transition from long term unemployment to self-employment is supported by Area Development Management Companies and Area Allowance Enterprise/ Back To Work Allowance Scheme.
Design For Signal Integrity In High Frequency, High Density Circuit Boards
Authors:   ,   Cork Institute of Technology, Martinez Juan 
Published: June 2024

The electronics market is continually seeking fast and small high performance products. The clock frequency in computer systems is often above 2GHz and new generations of laptops have considerably reduced in size. These features make printed circuit board (PCB) design more difficult than in the past. This thesis is an investigation of the current design of high speed PCB. The complexity of this type of circuit makes the designer needs an extensive knowledge of the techniques used to generate a reliable signalling, in other words, signal integrity. To achieve this objective, the design community has to overcome several problem related to the performance of passive components at high frequencies. For this reason high speed designers use CAD programs where electromagnetic field solver tools guarantee a reliable performance for simulations in the frequency and time domain. The disadvantage of this method is the length of time required. New philosophy used for designing high-speed boards is to approach the solutions of field solvers to develop the boards. These solutions are called "rules of thumb". The research of this thesis is focused on the study of "rules of thumb" developed by the design community. An additional objective of this thesis is to collect the "rules of thumb" from different sources of information used by designers in a CAD tool. This program has been designed to provide useful information and quick calculator of rules of thumb to high speed design community and undergraduate students.

The purpose of this study was to determine the number and factors that influence fish consumption in Tamannyeleng Village, Barombong District, Gowa Regency. This research was conducted from June to July 2021 in Tamannyeleng Village, Barombong District, Gowa Regency. The type of research used is a type of survey, which is research that takes samples from a population in the field and is used as basic data. The sampling technique used is non probability sampling. The technique of non-probability sampling is that each member of the population has zero chance. That is, sampling is based on certain criteria such as judgment, status, quantity, voluntariness and so on. The results of the study obtained were the amount of fish consumption before Covid-19 and after Covid-19 there was a difference. Before the existence of COVID-19, there were several who consumed fish as much as 0.5 kg per week, 1 kg per week, 2 kg per week and there were respondents who no longer consumed fish per week during Covid-19. It can be seen that the people of Tamannyeleng Village feel that during this Covid-19 period they are experiencing difficulties. Meanwhile, the factors that affect fish consumption of vulnerable people in Tamannyeleng Village, Barombong District, Gowa Regency consist of income, education, taste, number of family members, fish prices and fish substitution prices.

Published: June 2024

Desde a Constituição Federal de 1988, o discurso sobre participação social vem sendo incorporado, gradativamente, nas narrativas oficiais da gestão pública e, com esse direcionamento, espaços formais vêm sendo estabelecidos, como é o caso dos conselhos de unidades de conservação. Tendo como foco os parques nacionais, o artigo objetiva analisar, preliminarmente, como se efetiva o processo participativo na gestão do Parque Nacional da Serra da Bocaina e qual o significado atribuído Ã participação no âmbito do conselho consultivo dessa área protegida. A pesquisa teve enfoque qualitativo, envolvendo: pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, complementada por observação direta nas reuniões do conselho e pela realização de uma oficina com os atores locais. Os resultados da pesquisa indicam que os canais de comunicação são os principais meios facilitadores de participação na gestão. No entanto, ainda é necessário o aprimoramento desses canais para que seja possível um diálogo efetivo e sistemático entre a gestão do parque e os atores envolvidos e para que se possa avançar no sentido de um processo qualificado de participação social. Ademais, a principal estratégia identificada para estimular o processo participativo foi a apresentação de exemplos tangíveis de iniciativas da gestão do parque com a inclusão das populações locais no processo de tomada de decisão, visando Ã cogestão com as populações locais e também por meio de parcerias entre o poder público e a sociedade civil. Isso porque, no âmbito do conselho consultivo, participação significa, sobretudo, estar presente e ser paciente para dialogar e contribuir com propostas no processo de gestão.
A Comparative Analysis of Two Peculiar Gamma-Ray Bursts: GRB 230307A and GRB 211211A
Authors: Peng Zhao-Yang , Chen Jia-Ming , Mao Jirong 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
GRB 211211A is a peculiar long gamma-ray burst (GRB) with very high brightness and short burst properties. Its full light curve consists of three emission episodes, i.e., a precursor, a main burst, and an extended emission. We find that a recently detected long-duration GRB 230307A also includes the three consistent emission episodes. Furthermore, the two bursts have similar redshifts, 0.076 and 0.065, respectively. We perform a detailed temporal and spectral analysis of the two GRBs to compare their temporal and spectral properties. Our analysis shows that the two bursts share great similarities for both the whole emission and the three corresponding emission phases, which are listed as follows: (1) they have near zero spectral lag; (2) they have very short minimum variability timescale (MVT); (3) they lie in the same region of in the MVT–T
90, Amati relation and hardness–T
90 planes; (4) the three phases are quasi-thermal spectra; (5) both the peak energy and the low-energy index track the flux; (6) the time-resolved spectra are much wider than those of the blackbody predicted by the model; (7) there are strong correlations between thermal flux and total flux and the correlation coefficients, and the slopes for the corresponding stages are very consistent; and (8) the photosphere emission properties are very consistent. Other investigations and observations suggest that the two GRBs indeed belong to a short burst with a compact star merger origin. Therefore, we think that GRB 230307A and GRB 211211A are rare and similar GRBs, and the photospheric radiation can interpret their radiation mechanisms.
Les recettes de cuisine dans Châtelaine : des indices d’évolution au regard des normes du bien manger (1960 à 2009)
Authors: Laperrière Jean-Philippe 
Published: June 2024

Au XXe siècle au Québec se développent les médias de masse, notamment la presse féminine. Celle-ci est très importante pour transmettre aux familles les nouvelles manières de faire modernes d’une société en pleine croissance. D’ailleurs, les médias sont souvent perçus comme des vecteurs importants de normes et de comportements. Or, il y a lieu de croire que les pratiques alimentaires sont davantage le produit des représentations de ces normes et les médias de masse sont excellents à en produire. C’est dans cet esprit que sont étudiées les recettes de cuisine des chroniques culinaires de Châtelaine, le plus vieux magazine du genre. Celles-ci nous permettront de savoir comment, à travers des représentations simples, elles transposent les normes alimentaires officielles publiées par le gouvernement canadien. Nos analyses montrent que les recettes de cuisine transposent des normes alimentaires, mais aussi d’autres, plus sociales, qui sont liées à des styles de vie encouragés par la bourgeoisie des sociétés modernes.
D’un antipode à l’autre, trajectoire de trois sculptures architecturales kanak
Authors: Adamski Marie 
Published: June 2024

Cet article s’attache à retracer la provenance et la destinée de trois éléments d’architecture kanak, collectés par le pasteur Rey Lescure en 1931-1932 sur la côte est de la Nouvelle-Calédonie, pour le compte du Musée d’ethnographie du Trocadéro (MET) à la demande de Paul Rivet et Georges-Henri Rivière, alors à la tête du musée. Ils y acquirent le statut « d’objets-témoins » avant que le responsable des collections océaniennes, Charles van den Broek, décide de les utiliser comme monnaie d’échange en 1938-1939, au moment où le MET devient Musée de l’Homme. Il convient avec Serge Brignoni, un artiste surréaliste suisse installé à Paris, de les lui céder avec une autre sculpture contre six objets mélanésiens. Les sculptures kanak, qui intéressent leur nouveau propriétaire surtout pour leur valeur esthétique, intègrent alors une importante collection « d’art nègre ». Aujourd’hui conservées au Museo delle Culture Extraeuropee qui abrite la collection de l’artiste à Lugano en Suisse, elles retrouvent finalement un écrin muséal. À travers la biographie singulière de ces objets, nous analyserons les changements de statut des œuvres et les intérêts différents qu’elles suscitent au fil du temps, depuis leur création en Nouvelle-Calédonie jusqu’à leur exposition à Lugano en passant par Paris.
