Published: April 2024

IntroductionAnxiety disorder is one of the most common mental disorders. This cross-sectional research aimed to determine anxiety literacy (A-Lit) psychometric properties among the Iranian population in 2022.MethodsThis research was conducted on 690 people in Iran in 2022. In this study, people were selected by proportional stratified sampling, and the validity and reliability of the A-Lit designed by Griffiths were assessed. Validity of A-Lit was assessed by face validity, content validity, and confirmatory factor analysis. Reliability of A-Lit was evaluated by the McDonald’s omega coefficient, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, and test– retest. In analytical sections, the tests of One-way ANOVA, Chi-squared test, and independent samples t-test were used.ResultsThe rates of S-CVI/Ave and CVR for A-Lit were 0.922 and 0.774, respectively. In confirmatory factor analysis, three items were deleted because the factor loading was less than 0.4, and goodness-of-fit indexes (Some of goodness-of-fit indexes: χ2/df = 4.175, GFI: 0.909, RMSEA = 0.068, PCFI = 0.745, AGFI = 0.883) were confirmed as the final model with 19 items. For all items, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.832, the McDonald’s omega coefficient was 0.835, and the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.874. According to the results of this study, 1.3% (n = 9) did not answer any questions correctly and 8.4% (n = 58) were able to answer 1–6 questions correctly. Approximately 72% (n = 495) were able to answer 7–12 questions, and eventually only 18.6% (n = 128) were able to answer 13 questions and more. There was a significant relationship between sex, age group, occupation status, marital status, and get information related to mental illness with A-Lit level (p &lt; 0.05).ConclusionThe Persian version of A-Lit was confirmed with 19 items, and this scale is a reliable tool for measuring A-Lit in the general population. The results also showed that a few people have a higher level of anxiety literacy and that educational and intervention programs need to be designed and implemented for the public population.

Published: April 2024

BackgroundAt the beginning of the year 2023, the Chatbot Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) gained remarkable attention from the public. There is a great discussion about ChatGPT and its knowledge in medical sciences, however, literature is lacking to evaluate the ChatGPT knowledge level in public health. Therefore, this study investigates the knowledge of ChatGPT in public health, infectious diseases, the COVID-19 pandemic, and its vaccines.MethodsMultiple Choice Questions (MCQs) bank was established. The question’s contents were reviewed and confirmed that the questions were appropriate to the contents. The MCQs were based on the case scenario, with four sub-stems, with a single correct answer. From the MCQs bank, 60 MCQs we selected, 30 MCQs were from public health, and infectious diseases topics, 17 MCQs were from the COVID-19 pandemic, and 13 MCQs were on COVID-19 vaccines. Each MCQ was manually entered, and tasks were given to determine the knowledge level of ChatGPT on MCQs.ResultsOut of a total of 60 MCQs in public health, infectious diseases, the COVID-19 pandemic, and vaccines, ChatGPT attempted all the MCQs and obtained 17/30 (56.66%) marks in public health, infectious diseases, 15/17 (88.23%) in COVID-19, and 12/13 (92.30%) marks in COVID-19 vaccines MCQs, with an overall score of 44/60 (73.33%). The observed results of the correct answers in each section were significantly higher (p = 0.001). The ChatGPT obtained satisfactory grades in all three domains of public health, infectious diseases, and COVID-19 pandemic-allied examination.ConclusionChatGPT has satisfactory knowledge of public health, infectious diseases, the COVID-19 pandemic, and its vaccines. In future, ChatGPT may assist medical educators, academicians, and healthcare professionals in providing a better understanding of public health, infectious diseases, the COVID-19 pandemic, and vaccines.

Published: April 2024

BackgroundIn China, little is known about the hope level of older people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA).1 This study was to examine the hope level of older PLWHA in China and identify related factors.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in Sichuan province in China among older PLWHA.2 A standardized self-report questionnaire, the Herth Hope Index, was adopted. Multiple linear regression was used to identify factors influencing hope level. p-values &lt;0.05 were considered statistically significant.ResultsThere were 314 participants with an average age of 64.5 (SD ± 8.7). Most of the participants were males (72.6%), primary school and below (65.9%), rural household registration (58.6%) and married (64.3%). More than half of the older adults had pension insurance, had a monthly income of more than RMB 1,000 and considered themselves to be in good health. About 80% confirmed being diagnosed for more than a year and disclosed their HIV status to family and friends. The majority of the population had low medium social support (79%). More than 80% had moderate and severe HIV stigma. Many older PLWHA had medium and high levels of hope, with an average score of 34.31 (SD ± 4.85). Multiple linear regression showed that having pension insurance (β = 1.337, p = 0.015), longer diagnosis (β = 0.497, p = 0.031), better self-reported health (β = 1.416, p&lt;0.001) and higher levels of social support (β = 2.222, p &lt; 0.001) were positively associated with higher levels of hope. HIV stigma (β = −1.265, p &lt; 0.001) was negatively correlated with hope level.ConclusionThe hope level of older PLWHA is good, but there is still room for improvement, and its hope is related to multiple factors. Therefore, the AIDS-related healthcare sector should pay special attention to the hope of older PLWHA, help them to improve their health, provide financial assistance and social aid to those with financial difficulties, and take measures to reduce HIV stigma, improve family support for the older adults, and guide the older adults to adopt a positive approach to life.

IntroductionDespite the potential health risks associated with feeding raw and non-traditional diets, the use of these diets in dogs is increasing, yet the health outcomes associated with these diets is not well understood. This study investigates the effect of feeding dogs a kibble or raw meat-based diets on fecal microbiota composition, serum metabolomics and inflammatory markers.MethodsClinically healthy dogs with a history of consuming either kibble (KD, n = 27) or raw meat-based diets (RMBD, n = 28) for more than 1 year were enrolled. Dogs were fed a standardized diet of either a single brand of KD or RMBD for 28 days. Serum and fecal samples were collected for analysis of microbiota, metabolomics, and inflammatory markers. Multiple regression analysis was performed for each of the metabolites and inflammatory markers, with feed group, age and BCS included as independent variables.ResultsThe fecal microbiota composition differed between the KD and RMBD groups. Beta-diversity and some indices of alpha-diversity (i.e., Shannon and Simpson) were different between the two diet groups. Sixty- three serum metabolites differed between KD and RMBD-fed dogs with the majority reflecting the differences in macronutrient composition of the two diets.Fecal IAP, IgG and IgA were significantly higher in RMBD dogs compared to KD dogs, while systemic markers of inflammation, including serum c-reactive protein (CRP), galectin, secretory receptor of advanced glycation end-products (sRAGE), haptoglobin, and serum IgG were similar in dogs fed either diet.DiscussionDiet composition significantly affected fecal microbiota composition and metabolome. Although it had a potentially beneficial effect on local inflammatory markers, feeding RMBD had no impact on systemic inflammation. The influence of these changes on long term health outcomes provides an area for future study.

In this paper, samples of mosses, lichens and cryptogams (mosses mixed with lichens) collected from Słowiński National Park (northern Poland) were studied for water bears (Tardigrada). In total, 27 tardigrade taxa were identified: 21 to the species level, one identified as „cf.” and three to the genus level, with six species (Eremobiotus ginevrae, Hypsibius dujardini, Hypsibius scabropygus, Milnesium beasleyi, Minibiotus intermedius and Notahypsibius pallidoides) being new records for Poland. Two possibly new for science species were also found, belonging to genera Diphascon and Mesobiotus. Additionally, a very rare eutardigrade Pseudohexapodibius degenerans has been found in the samples analyzed in the present study for the first time outside of the type locality. The effects of habitat and substrate on species richness were also investigated and showed no significant differences between mosses and lichens, as well as all substrates except for concrete walls.

Background
Opioids are frequently prescribed for persistent non-cancer pain despite limited evidence of long-term effectiveness and risk of harm. Evidence-based interventions to address inappropriate opioid prescribing are lacking.

Aim
To explore perspectives of people living with persistent pain to understand barriers and facilitators in reducing opioids in the context of a pharmacist-led primary care review, and identify review components and features for optimal delivery.

Design & setting
A multi-method qualitative study undertaken in the primary care setting in the UK.

Method

Adults with experience of persistent pain and taking opioids participated in semi-structured interviews (
n
= 15, 73% female) and an online discussion forum (
n
= 31). The Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) provided a framework for data collection and thematic analysis, involving deductive analysis to TDF domains, inductive analysis within domains to generate sub-themes, and sub-theme comparison to form across-domain overarching themes. The behaviour change technique taxonomy (v1) and motivational behaviour change technique classification system were used to systematically map themes to behaviour change techniques to identify potential review components and delivery features.

Results
Thirty-two facilitator and barrier sub-themes for patients reducing opioids were identified across 13 TDF domains. These combined into the following six overarching themes: learning to live with pain; opioid reduction expectations; assuming a medical model; pharmacist-delivered reviews; pharmacist–patient relationship; and patient engagement. Sub-themes mapped to 21 unique behaviour change techniques, yielding 17 components and five delivery features for the proposed PROMPPT review.

Conclusion
This study generated theoretically informed evidence for design of a practice pharmacist-led PROMPPT review. Future research will test the feasibility and acceptability of the PROMPPT review and pharmacist training.

India is one of the important oilseeds grower and importer of edible oils. Oil crops are rich sources of oils, proteins, minerals, vitamins and dietary fibers. Oilseed crops like groundnut, sesame and sunflower are the second most important determinant of agricultural economy, next to cereals within the segment of field crops India stands fourth in oil production next to USA, China & Brazil. Drying of seeds plays a major role in maintaining the quality of seeds. Drying of Rabi harvested Groundnut as well as Sesame seeds is a very big challenge as far as Tindivanam is concerned. Since the seeds were exposed to very hot sun, it leads to cracking of seed coat which in turn leads to poor germination. Hence, to avoid exposing the groundnut as well as sesame seeds to very high temperature, the seed drying method is to be standardized for each seeds. To find the suitable seed drying methods for Groundnut TMV 13 and Sesame TMV 7, the seeds of Groundnut TMV 13 and Sesame TMV 7 were subjected to three methods of drying viz., Sun drying (Completely under sun), Shade drying (under tree shade)and Partial shade drying (morning under shade and evening under sun). The pods were dried to the uniform moisture content of 9% and packed in cloth bags and stored under ambient condition for ten month at Oilseeds Research Station, Tindivanam. The seeds were evaluated for Moisture content, Germination percentage, Shoot length, Root length, Vigour index, Dry Matter production, Electrical Conductivity and Field Emergence at monthly interval. Seed storage studies revealed that the decrease in germination was faster in seeds groundnut seeds. The germination per cent decreased from 95.7 to 49.3 per cent during 10 months of storage. The vigour parameters like root and shoot length, dry matter production of seedlings, vigour index values and field emergence per cent decreased with increase in storage period. The seeds dried under shade registered maximum germination percent (79.4 percent), vigour index (2098), Dry matter Production (2.89 mg/seedling), Electrical Conductivity 0.312 ds/m and Field emergence (72.5 percent). Similar trend has been observed for Sesame seeds also. In sesame, Minimum fluctuation in seed moisture content was observed in sesame seeds under different drying methods. The shade dried sesame seeds with initial moisture content of 8 per cent, stored in cloth bag recorded the highest germination (83.8 per cent), longest root and shoot length, maximum dry matter accumulation (34.4 mg), maximum vigour index (1219) and field emergence (80.8 per cent) at end of tenth month of storage.

Неминучість переходу архітектурно-будівельної діяльності в Україні на BІМ-технології в процесах проектування, будівництва та експлуатації будівель і споруд обумовлю-ється низкою причин: все більш широке застосування засобів доповненої віртуальної реально-сті, необхідність створення єдиної інформаційної платформи, поширення моніторингу оцінки і аналізу стану конструкцій та систем життезабезбепечння. Аналіз поточного розвитку оцифровування показав необхідність взаємодії всіх ланок керування об'єктами капітального будівництва. На рівні державних органів керування перехід до оцифровування проводиться за рахунок ведення електронного документообігу та видачі дозвільних документів на будівництво в електронному вигляді. Замовник повинен за допомогою оцифровування проектних і будівельних робіт бачити поточний стан справ на кожному етапі будівництва. Генеральний підрядник зацікавлений у моніторингу роботи підрядних організацій та зниженні матеріальних витрат. Проектна організація, що розробляє єдину цифрову інформаційну модель будинку, спрощує процеси створення креслеників, специфікацій і виправлення помилок суміжних відділів. Оцифровування провадження робіт дозволить прискорити процеси контролю постачання вантажів, роботи виконавців і механізмів, полегшить ведення журналів робіт і виконавчої до-кументації, призведе до поліпшеної взаємодії учасників. Показано, що основними перешкодами розповсюдження цифрових технологій у будівництві є недостатня інформованість щодо ефе-ктивності ВІМ технологій, відсутність досвіду проєктування і будівництва в інформаційному середовищі, непевність у взаємодії всіх учасників на різних рівнях керування об'єктами капіта-льного будівництва, матеріальні труднощі, які пов'язані з навчанням працівників, технічним поліпшенням обладнання, покупкою нових програмних продуктів, побоювання розпорошення конфіденційної інформації із хмарних сховищ та ін. Швидке та ефективне відновлення пору-шеної війною інфраструктури держави, сталий розвиток економіки сьогоденні немислиме без цифрової трансформації будівельної галузі та втілення BІМ-технологій.

Este trabajo tiene como finalidad responder las siguientes preguntas de investigación ¿De qué depende que el Gobierno de México del Gobierno elabore su Programa para la Seguridad Nacional? ¿De qué depende que el Gobierno de México adopte en su Programa para la Seguridad Nacional amenazas que también reconoce el Gobierno de Estados Unidos en sus estrategias de Seguridad Nacional? Por lo que se sostiene la hipótesis por ignorancia en la materia, la actual administración del Gobierno de México carece de un Programa para la Seguridad Nacional, es por ello por lo que no se puede establecer cuál es el rumbo estratégico del Estado Mexicano en materia de seguridad Multidimensional, por lo que se concluye que lo anterior se ve agravado con la salida de Trump y la llegada de Biden, ya que se generaron cambios en la estrategia para la Seguridad Nacional de EE. UU. que impactan la manera en que se gestiona la seguridad nacional en México.
