IntroductionSmile4life is Scotland's national oral health improvement programme for people experiencing homelessness, aimed at reducing oral health inequalities experienced by this population. This study forms part of an evaluation of how the Smile4life intervention was being implemented within Scottish NHS Boards. The aim was to investigate the influence of the Smile4life intervention upon the engagement behaviours of Smile4life practitioners.MethodsFocus groups were conducted with Smile4life practitioners, to provide an insight into how the Smile4life intervention affected their skills, attitudes and experiences while interacting with people experiencing homelessness and their services providers. A purposive sample of oral health practitioners, including dental health support workers, oral health promoters/educators, and oral health improvement coordinators working in three NHS Boards were invited to take part. One focus group was conducted in each of the three NHS Boards. The focus groups were audio-recorded and transcribed. The COM-B model of behaviour was used as a framework for analysis.ResultsEleven Smile4life practitioners took part in the focus groups. All had first-hand experience of working with the Smile4life intervention. The average focus group length was 67 min. Working on the Smile4life intervention provided the Smile4life practitioners with: (i) the capability (physical and psychological), (ii) the opportunity (to establish methods of communication and relationships with service providers and service users) and (iii) the motivation to engage with Third Sector homelessness services and service users, by reflecting upon their positive and negative experiences delivering the intervention. Enablers and barriers to this engagement were identified according to each of the COM-B categories. Enablers included: practitioners' sense of responsibility, reflecting on positive past experiences and success stories with service users. Barriers included: lack of resources, negative past experiences and poor relationships between Smile4life practitioners and Third Sector staff.ConclusionThe Smile4life programme promoted capability, provided opportunities and increased motivation in those practitioners who cross disciplinary boundaries to implement the Smile4life intervention, which can be conceptualised as “boundary spanning”. Practitioners who were found to be boundary spanners often had a positive mindset and proactive attitude towards the creation of strategies to overcome the challenges of implementation by bridging the gaps between the NHS and the Third Sector, and between oral health and homelessness, operating across differing fields to achieve their aims.

ObjectivesThe study aims to analyze factors that affect the postoperative health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) patients and explore the appropriate pelvic incidence minus lumbar lordosis (PI-LL) value for Chinese DLS patients.MethodsDLS patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in this study. General information, spino-pelvic parameters, and HRQOL were collected. Correlation analysis was used to explore the spino-pelvic parameters that affect the postoperative HRQOL. Thresholds of each parameter were obtained using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Regardless of the effect of age, DLS patients were classified into three groups according to the SRS-Schwab classification: group 0 means PI-LL &lt; 10°, group+means PI-LL = 10–20°, and group ++ means PI-LL &gt; 20°. Postoperative HRQOL was analyzed using variance methods. The ROC curve was used to measure the appropriate PI-LL threshold. When considering the effect of age, the patients with Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) &lt; 75% percentile were considered to have a satisfactory clinical outcome, which was drawn to an equation between PI-LL, age, and PI by multiple linear regression equation.ResultsA total of 71 patients were included. Compared with the control group, there were significant differences in both postoperative ODI and Scoliosis Research Society 22 (SRS-22) scores when the postoperative Cobb angle ≤11°, postoperative lumbar lordosis index (LLI) &gt; 0.8, postoperative sagittal vertical axis (SVA) ≤ 5 cm, postoperative T1 pelvic angle (TPA) ≤ 16° and postoperative global tilt (GT) ≤ 22°, respectively. Regardless of the effect of age, there was a statistical difference in postoperative HRQOL between group 0 and group ++. The PI-LL threshold derived from the ROC curve was 14.4°. Compared with the PI-LL &gt; 14° group, the PI-LL ≤ 14° group achieved a lower postoperative ODI score and a higher postoperative SRS-22 score. Considering the influence of age, the equation for ideal PI-LL was PI-LL = 0.52age + 0.38PI-39.4 (R = 0.509, p = 0.001).ConclusionsPI-LL was an important parameter that affects the postoperative HRQOL of DLS patients. Sufficient LL should be restored during the operation (LL ≥ PI-14°). The appropriate PI-LL value was affected by age. Smaller LL needed to be restored as the age increased.

IntroductionPatients undergoing craniotomy are at high risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality due to excessive inflammatory responses. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the prognostic utility of postoperative systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in patients undergoing craniotomy.MethodsWe performed a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent craniotomy between January 2011 and March 2021. SIRS was diagnosed based on two or more criteria (hypo-/hyperthermia, tachypnea, leukopenia/leukocytosis, tachycardia). We used univariate and multivariate analysis for the development of SIRS with postoperative 30-day mortality.ResultsOf 12,887 patients who underwent craniotomy, more than half of the patients (n = 6,725; 52.2%) developed SIRS within the first 7 days after surgery, and 157 (1.22%) patients died within 30 days after surgery. In multivariable analyses, SIRS (OR, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.12–2.21) was associated with 30-day mortality. Early SIRS was not predictive of 30-day mortality, whereas delayed SIRS was predictive of 30-day mortality. Abnormal white blood cell (WBC) counts contributed the most to the SIRS score, followed by abnormal body temperature, respiratory rate, and heart rate.ConclusionPostoperative SIRS commonly occurs after craniotomy and is an independent predictor of postoperative 30-day mortality. This association was seen only in delayed SIRS but not early SIRS. Moreover, increased WBC counts contributed the most to the SIRS score.

IntroductionThe family Mycobacteriaceae contains over 188 species, most of which are saprophytic non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). In wildlife, a variety of different NTM can be found, with different reports about their pathogenic potential. A pathogenic member of NTM is Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis (MAP), which can infect farmed and wild ruminants. It causes paratuberculosis which is an economically important chronic disease. Infected farm animals are considered to be the source of infection in wild animals. Wildlife, on the other hand, is thought to be a reservoir for certain members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), such as M. caprae, which causes tuberculosis in cattle and red deer.MethodsSwitzerland implemented a surveillance program for tuberculosis in wild animals in 2014. Here, we describe the results from the mycobacterial culture of lymph node samples collected from red deer, roe deer, chamois, ibex, and badgers collected within this surveillance program from 2020 to 2022. Overall, samples from 548 animals were checked macroscopically for tuberculosis-like lesions.ResultsIn total, 88 animals (16.1%), which either had lesions in their lymph nodes or were male and aged older than 5 years, were investigated using mycobacterial culture. In total, 25 animals (28.4%) were positive for NTM, while no MTBC was detected. The most often identified NTM was M. vaccae, followed by M. avium. Most animals positive for NTM did not show any macroscopic lesions. Furthermore, MAP was isolated from the head lymph nodes of two male red deer. Neither of the two MAP-positive animals had any macroscopic lesions in their head lymph nodes or any other signs of disease.DiscussionThe shooting sites of the two MAP-positive animals were located in Alpine pastures used for grazing of cattle during summer, which confirms that species transmission can occur when contaminated pastures are used by different species. In agreement with other studies, the occurrence of MAP in red deer was quite low. However, so far, MAP was mostly isolated from feces and intestinal lymph nodes of wild animals. This is the first detection of MAP in the head lymph nodes of red deer in Switzerland.

The sin²⁡ψ method is the general method for analyzing X-ray diffraction stress measurements. This method relies on the estimation of a parameter known as 12S2hkl, which is generally considered as a material constant. However, various studies have shown that this parameter can be affected by plastic deformation leading to proportional uncertainties in the estimation of stresses. In this paper, in situ X-ray diffraction measurements are performed during a tensile test with unloads on a low-carbon high-strength steel. The calibrated 12S2hkl parameter varies from 3.5×10−6 MPa−1 to 5.5 ×10−6 Mpa−1, depending on the surface condition and on the plastic strain state, leading to a maximum error on the stress level of 40% compared to reference handbook values. The results also show that plastic strain is responsible for 6 to 14% of the variation, depending on the initial surface sample condition. A method is then proposed to correct this variation based on the fit of the 12S2hkl evolution with respect to the peak diffraction width, the latter being an indication of the plasticity state. It is shown that the proposed methodology improves the applied stress increment prediction, although the absolute stress value still depends on pseudo-macrostresses that also vary with plastic strain.

The work included an analysis of the primary real estate market in Krakow in 2017‑2020. The above analysis was carried out on the basis of transactions obtained from the official register at the city hall. The results of the research made it possible to observe the changes taking place in the market: the prices grew moderately, and the number of transactions was between 8,000 and 11,000 each year. In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of transactions conducted dropped sharply. Despite the reduced interest of potential buyers, prices per square meter of residential space increased significantly during the period under review. Thus, the pandemic only affected the number of transactions and not the average price per unit of space.

Ketersediaan infrastruktur yang andal dan memadai mempunyai peranan substansial bagi pertumbuhan ekonomi nasional. Namun demikian kebutuhan dana untuk investasi di sektor ini sangat besar yang tidak mampu sepenuhnya ditanggung oleh Pemerintah sendiri. Di sinilah peran sektor swasta sangat diharapkan untuk menutup kesenjangan finansial yang ada melalui skema kemitraan-pemerintah-swasta dalam pembangunan infrastruktur di Indonesia, tetapi pembangunan infrastruktur tanpa ditunjang konsep pembiayaan yang baik akan menimbulkan debt trap bagi negara. Dari total kebutuhan pendanaan investasi strategis infrastruktur untuk kurun waktu 2015 s.d. 2020, Pemerintah hanya mampu menyediakan pendanaan kurang dari separuhnya saja. Indonesia perlu mencari alternatif sumber-sumber pendanaan lain dalam mendanai kebutuhan infrastrukturnya. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi sumber-sumber pembiayaan infrastruktur yang berpotensi menunjang pertumbuhan ekonomi . Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif dan kebijakan/regulasi yang terkait dengan permasalahan penelitian
