Background: This study sought to analyze the leakage rate, economic loss caused by leakage, leakage reasons, and usage of upright polypropylene infusion bags and non-polyvinyl chloride (PVC) infusion bags, two types of closed intravenous infusion containers used in pharmacy intravenous admixture service (PIVAS), to improve the product quality of drug infusion packaging materials, reduce drug and clinical economic losses, and reduce the safety hazards of medication.Method: A real-world study was used to collect statistics for these infusion containers. The study was conducted in 21 hospitals in China from September to December 2022. Upright polypropylene infusion bags or non-PVC infusion bags in PIVAS of these 21 hospitals were chosen as the research material.Results: In total, 2,349,899 upright polypropylene infusion bags and 3,301,722 non-PVC infusion bags were collected. Eleven cases of upright polypropylene infusion bag leakage occurred (with a the leakage rate of 0.05‱), and 394 cases of non-PVC infusion bag leakage occurred (with a leakage rate of 1.19‱). The leakage rate of non-PVC infusion bags was significantly higher than that of upright polypropylene infusion bags (p &lt; 0.01). The main reason for leakage in upright polypropylene infusion bags was sharp objects such as glass fragments or aluminum caps piercing the bag. The main reason for leakage in non-PVC infusion bags was squeezing, stacking, and uneven arrangement that causes folding of edges. For non-PVC bags, additional reasons for leakage included leakage at the nozzle joint, excessive manual or machine throwing force, and excessive dosage. The economic loss of upright polypropylene infusion bags was 1,116.56 CNY. The economic loss of non-PVC infusion bags was 32,210.86 CNY.Conclusion: Based on real-world study data on the leakage of upright polypropylene infusion bags and non-PVC infusion bags in multicenter PIVAS, it can be concluded that the leakage rates of upright polypropylene infusion bags are significantly lower than those of non-PVC infusion bags in PIVAS, and the economic losses due to upright polypropylene infusion bags are lower than those due to non-PVC infusion bags in PIVAS. Therefore, we can infer that upright polypropylene infusion bags are superior to non-PVC infusion bags.

ObjectiveMeaninglessness poses a significant psychological challenge for cancer patients, negatively affecting their quality of life and increasing the risk of suicide. Meaning-Centered Group Therapy (MCGP) is an intervention designed specifically to enhance the meaning of life of cancer patients. Extensive research has documented its effectiveness across various cultures and populations. However, limited research has been conducted on the subjective experiences and perspectives of participants engaged in MCGP. Thus, the purpose of this study was to employ a qualitative design to explore the experiences and viewpoints of Chinese cancer patients who have undergone MCGP.MethodsWithin a two-week timeframe following the conclusion of MCGP, semi-structured interviews were administered to twenty-one participants who had engaged in the therapy. The interview data were transcribed and subjected to thematic analysis.ResultsFour main themes were identified: (a) Self-perceived personal change, (b) Overall experience of group therapy, (c) Barriers to participation of MCGP, and (d) Suggestions for future interventions.ConclusionDespite the barriers to participation in the MCGP process, the overall experience for Chinese cancer patients undergoing active treatment is valuable and positive, providing multiple benefits. Future studies could explore the adaptation of MCGP to a broader range of cancer populations and diverse study populations.

ObjectivesThe main objective was to examine the relationship between weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) and the prevalence of hypertension among individuals aged ≥60 years who participated in the NHANES between 2011 and 2018 years.MethodsThe data for this study were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011–2018. In this population-based study, we focused on participants who were over 60 years old. Data were collected from the aforementioned survey, and the variable of interest was WWI, which was calculated as waist (cm) divided by the square root of body weight (kg). Multivariable logistic regression model was applied to calculate adjusted ORs with 95% CIs in order to explore any possible correlation between WWI and the prevalence of hypertension. Subgroup analysis were used to verify the stability of the relationship between WWI and the prevalence of hypertension. The interaction tests were also conducted in this research.ResultsResults revealed that adults aged ≥60 years who were in the highest WWI quartile had significantly higher chances of developing hypertension when compared to those in the lowest quartile, after adjusting for covariates and potential confounders (p &lt; 0.001).ConclusionThese findings suggest that there is a strong correlation between elevated levels of WWI and the risk of developing hypertension among older adults. As such, WWI could serve as a unique and valuable biomarker for identifying hypertension risk at an earlier stage in the older adults population.

Published: October 2023

BackgroundAs the population of older adult in China keeps growing, the degree of aging is becoming increasingly serious and the health of older adults is a growing concern. Comparing the personal characteristics and health levels of urban and rural older adults and determining the relationship between these factors are of great significance in maintaining their health. In addition, exploring how these relationships differ between urban and rural areas is important.MethodThis study conducted a literature review to examine the impact of various factors on the physical and mental health of older adults in urban and rural areas in China. Moreover, based on cross-sectional data from the 2017 Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS), urban–rural differences in the factors’ degree of influence on the perceived health of older adults were studied using multiple logistic regression.ResultsRegular physical exercise had a powerful protective effect on urban older adults’ physical and mental health, whereas regular participation in social activities had a positive impact on rural older adults’ health. Low income, low educational level, low social trust, lack of a partner, and having more than one child negatively affected the physical health of rural older people. Low socioeconomic status had a negative impact on rural people’s health both in mind and body. Overall, the rural adults’ health status was found to be relatively low and deserves more attention.ConclusionThis study demonstrated that older people’s physical and mental health levels can be significantly affected by the frequency of daily activities and individual and family characteristics. Furthermore, urban–rural differences were observed. These findings could provide feasible suggestions for governments, communities, and older adults’ family members to help alleviate health inequality.

BackgroundThis paper describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of a community of practice (CoP), HIV in MOTION (HIM), to advance physical activity rehabilitation interventions with adults living with HIV, clinicians, researchers, and representatives from community-based organizations. We attracted a diverse audience of geographically dispersed people living with HIV, clinicians, exercise personnel, and trainees to eight HIM community of practice events that featured the clinical, research, and lived experience of people living with HIV. HIV in MOTION had (a) a domain related to physical rehabilitation, exercise, and social participation for people living with HIV; (b) a community of diverse individuals; and (c) a practice, that is, a series of sustained interactions online and offline, synchronous, and asynchronous. Our team included six diverse people living with HIV, two coordinators, and three academic researchers who planned, prepared, implemented, and evaluated each online session. To evaluate the HIV in MOTION CoP, we employed an evaluation framework composed of five criteria: Goals and Scope, Context and Structure, Process and Activities, Outcomes, and Impact. We collected quantitative and qualitative evaluative data using online evaluation, audiovisual archiving, and participant observations during the debriefing with all members of our team.ResultsWe widened the Goals and Scope of the HIV in MOTION CoP to include the HIV narrative of lived experiences, including autopathography, and participant storytelling. In matters of Context and Structure, we received explicit satisfaction with our governance and leadership. Also, being flexible to fit online formats was a productive strategy that made the HIV in MOTION CoP sessions agile and amenable to audiovisual archiving. Our indicators of success in Process, Activities, and Outcomes included participant retention online, elicited verbal interventions and comments in the chat room, and a rate of three repeat visits online. The indicators of success of Impact were the presence of voluntary and unscripted autopathography, the patient storytelling and how it reportedly caused changes in the participants, and the “legitimate peripheral participation” of emerging research and clinical students. In conclusion, we recommend our form of CoP for mixing the knowledge of diverse persons in this area. However, we recommend considering budget and burnout as serious challenges to sustainability.

IntroductionDue to their capacity to release growth factors and cytokines, co-culture using mesenchymal stem cells has been considered a good alternative to promoting the maturation of the oocytes and the embryo’s development quality in vitro in different mammalian species. In this regard, we investigated the effect of feline Wharton’s jelly MSCs as feeders layer in oocyte maturation—consequently, the development of resulting embryos in co-culture.MethodsOocytes with dark cytoplasm and a few layers of cumulus cells were collected and subjected to in vitro maturation and embryo culture using commercial media with and without MSCs addition. The oocytes’ nuclear maturation and the degree of cumulus expansion in different groups were assessed after 24 h; the development of the embryo was evaluated every 12 h until day eight.ResultsAlthough MSCs increased the proportion of cumulus cells oocytes exhibiting cumulus expansion, there were no significant differences in the percentage of matured oocytes (metaphase II) among the groups (p &gt; 0.05). However, the embryo development differs significantly, with a higher cleavage, morula, and blastocyst percentage in oocytes matured with MSC co-culture conditions than in commercial media alone (p &lt; 0.05). Also, we observed higher morula and blastocyst rates in the embryos co-cultured with MSCs during the in vitro culture (p &gt; 0.05).ConclusionBased on our results, the co-culture with MSCs during the oocyte maturation resulted in better embryo development, as well as the MSCs addition during embryo culture returned an increased number of morula and blastocysts. Further research is needed to fully understand and optimize the use of MSCs in oocyte maturation and embryo development.

Authors: Liu Echu , Arledge Samantha A. , Cai Miao , Tao Donghua , Li Wei 
Published: October 2023

Objectives: This research examines the health insurance literacy and healthcare utilization of international students attending a university in the US Midwest.Methods: One hundred and forty-three undergraduate and graduate students attending a midsize metropolitan university in the Midwest completed an online survey in early 2022.Results: Many students surveyed could not identify the definitions of basic terms, such as copay. Furthermore, about 80% of students surveyed could not determine their financial responsibilities in two medical settings. Regression results show that the continent they are from and the length of their stay in the United States significantly predict their understanding of key health insurance terms. More than half of the international students surveyed indicated they often feel confused about their health insurance (57.34%). Only about 20% have delayed or skipped care due to unfamiliarity with the health insurance system.Conclusion: The health insurance literacy of most international students at the midwestern university we surveyed is not ideal. This and possibly other universities in the United States should take more initiatives to help their international students understand the health insurance system.

Published: October 2023

The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has emerged as a focal point in the realm of sustainable energy generation, offering the potential to produce clean hydrogen gas (H2) devoid of pollutants. The pursuit of stable HER electrocatalysts that can reduce our reliance on precious platinum, while still maintaining a high level of catalytic efficiency, presents a significant and ongoing challenge. In this study, we introduce the utilization of a binuclear nickel (II) Schiff base complex known as [Ni]2[L]2 2 for the purpose of HER electrocatalysis. The rational design of this electrocatalyst has yielded optimal HER performance, wherein the strategic placement of electronegative heteroatoms in proximity to the metal centers serves to enhance proton affinity. Consequently, this catalyst manifests outstanding HER activity, characterized by a nearly 100% faradaic efficiency (FE) at an overpotential potential of −0.4 V versus the reverse hydrogen electrode (RHE), sustained catalytic activity over an extended 80 h electrolysis period, and a commendable turnover number (TON) of 0.0006 s−1.
MODERN ASPECTS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE COURSE "METEOROLOGY AND CLIMATOLOGY" IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS OF STUDENTS IN THE DIRECTION OF PREPARATION 101 ECOLOGY

Published: October 2023

Modern meteorology is a very practical science necessary for social life. Most meteorologists model weather and climate forecasts, while others work for government and military organizations as well as private companies, providing forecasts for aviation, navigation, agriculture, construction, and radio and television broadcasting. In many countries, meteorology is often called "atmospheric physics", and ordinary meteorologists deal more with complex mathematical formulas and calculations that model physical and physico-chemical processes in the Earth's atmosphere. However, since the latter is closely related to all other envelopes, the work of meteorologists also has a distinct geographic element, since only geography needs to be taken into account for weather forecasting and modeling of atmospheric processes. In addition, the conditions of the atmosphere and the processes that take place in it differ in different parts of the globe due to geographic patterns (regions, altitude bands, etc.). Long-term weather conditions in a certain area are called climate. So, climatology is a science that studies such issues as climate formation, description and classification of the global climate, and the impact of human activity on the climate. By its nature, it is more closely related to other geographical disciplines.
Modern research in the field of meteorology and climatology is at the center of mass media reports, as it sheds light on the future of our planet and life on it in light of actual and potential climate change. This is their mission today. they can only answer questions posed as elements of the system of geographic science.
The article contains basic provisions on the environment, aspects of life in various regions, especially natural areas and objects subject to special protection. The work on environmental impact assessment is characterized. The article covers some issues of human bioclimatology, synrheological effects of individual meteorological variables and atmospheric factors and methods of assessing the complex impact of weather on the human body. The influence of climate warming on the health of the population and adaptation to climate change in Ukraine are mentioned.
FORMATION OF THE LEGAL COMPETENCE OF THE FUTURE MASTER OF MANAGEMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF HIS CONFLICT COMPETENCE
Authors: ZHDANOVA-NEDІLKO O. 
Published: October 2023

The article presents arguments regarding the relationship between the conflict-related competence and the legal competence of the future manager and the consideration of this circumstance during his professional training in the master's degree. The professionalism of the future manager, whose requirements are considered the specified task, is positioned as a complex and extensive phenomenon, which in its formation is not reduced to the acquisition by the student of education of a static list of personal and professional characteristics and is constantly adjusted by those changes that occur in the professional environment. The availability and constant updating of the experience of responding to conflicts, the flexibility and adequacy of responding to them are considered as one of the important conditions of managerial activity. Accordingly, the need for future managers to gain experience in operational identification of conflict situations and forecasting their development, determination of the consequences of management decisions that may be constructive or destructive, and the ability to act purposefully on the basis of moral, ethical and legal norms is substantiated.
The author suggests that the following should be included among the main principles of the formation of the conflict-related competence of the future manager: the principle of scientificity (the validity of the management's interpretation of the conflict situation by scientific provisions); logicality (rejection of excessive hypotheticality in interpretations in favor of the most logical explanation of existing and predictable events); objectivity (overcoming emotions caused by subjective experience, identifying oneself with conflict participants, and abstracting from personal qualities of opponents to their conflict positions); constructiveness (choice of conflict management strategy and tactics, oriented towards its constructive development from most perspectives); morality (compliance of management decisions with moral and ethical standards); legality (preventing decisions that contradict the legal principles of management and the rights of an employee, citizen, person).
WAYS OF TRAINING ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION THROUGH TONGUE TWISTERS: EXPERIENCE OF POLTAVA UNIVERSITY OF ECONOMICS AND TRADE

Published: October 2023

The article focuses on some new approaches to teaching Practical Phonetics of English for the students majoring in Philology on the university level. The formation of phonetic skills is an indispensable condition for adequate understanding of a language message, accuracy of expression of thought and performance of a communicative function in language. It is stated that the goal of teaching phonetic material means forming comprehension, pronunciation, rhythmic, and intonation skills.
One of the commonly applied algorithms of forming and improving students’ articulation skills is discussed but the authors focus on one of the stages of it and offer an example of using tongue twisters for practicing pronunciation of sounds. The research shows how to move from purely receptive exercises to receptive and reproductive ones, in which two goals are combined – the formation of listening and speaking skills.
Experience has shown that the application of this strategy deepens the knowledge of basic rules of pronunciation, helps to master the articulation of those sounds that are not typical for the student’s mother tongue, as well as increases the motivation of students to study English in general and makes them sound more natural while speaking English.
