Published: July 2023

IntroductionThe contradiction among population, economy and urbanization has gradually intensified, and the Mountain Excavation and City Construction (MECC) project is one of the special solutions. Nevertheless, there are few comparative studies on the project index studies and effect of MECC projects on residential satisfaction. To remedy this deficiency, this study base on the Yan’an new district (YND) reconstruction project, attempting to analyze the specific influencing factors prerelocation and post-relocation from the perspective of residential satisfaction.MethodsAfter conducting reliability and validity analysis on each dimension, multiple linear regression and paired t-test were used to analyze and compare the questionnaire data.ResultsThe results show that the residential satisfaction index of the YND is indeed higher than that of the Yan’an old district (YOD). Concurrently, the decisive factors of residential satisfaction are also different. Specifically, the interpersonal communication, supporting facilities, community environment and economic income are significant in the YOD, but only the aspect of supporting facilities is negative significant. The supporting facilities, community environment, economic income and urban development are all positive significant in the YND. The satisfaction factors of middle-aged people in YOD and YND have the most significant differences, and the significance of each dimension is different.DiscussionThe research results of this study provide a comparative perspective at the micro-level for evaluating China’s urban construction, and it supplies specific directions for future urban development and the improvement of old cities through the new residential satisfaction index.

Published: July 2023

IntroductionSexual ill-health is an urgent public health issue with subsequent social and economic costs. There is, therefore, a need for more effective sexual health promotion interventions in an early stage of life. Previous research has focused on preventive sexual health interventions applying a risk perspective, and the limited and scattered evidence concerning school-based sexual health promotion interventions employing a health-resource perspective has not been compiled and synthesized. Hence, this study aimed to systematically review the current evidence on the effects of sexual health promotion interventions conducted in schools in Europe.MethodA systematic review based on the JBI and PRISMA standards was performed, encompassing searches in seven databases to identify sexual health promotion interventions conducted in European schools between 2012 and 2022. Data coding was performed according to a predetermined protocol and included information on study characteristics, intervention content, methods, and outcomes relevant to the current review. A narrative synthesis of the included studies was performed, highlighting the collective results.ResultSeventeen records were included in the review, reporting on 16 individual studies conducted in 7 European countries. Of the 16 included studies, 13 had a quantitative research design, and three had a qualitative design. All three studies with a qualitative research design described positive effects experienced by the participants. Six of thirteen quantitative studies showed statistically significant positive effects on at least one of the outcomes of interest. The outcomes of interest were grouped into five areas, and most studies focused on the area of attitudes toward sexual health.ConclusionThe findings indicate promising evidence of effect for interventions with a health promotion approach, highlighting the importance of strengthening sexual health resources related to respect, communication skills, attitudes, and other positive psycho-social aspects of sexual health. Most sexual health promotion intervention studies have focused on sexual health resource outcomes connected to attitudes and skills, whereas a comprehensive focus on the multi-dimensional sexual health literacy concept is less common and can be recommended to be included in future intervention research.

IntroductionWorkplace ergonomics should also be considered in the context of psychosocial factors affecting the worker, which have a real impact on occupational risk. The present study examined psychosocial risk factors in medical personnel in three domains: working hours, violence and substance abuse.MethodsThe purpose of the present study is to assess the current state of psychosocial ergonomics of medical personnels by measuring occupational risks in the domains of: working hours, violence and psychoactive substance abuse. The survey is consisted of two parts: socio-demographic information of participants and participants’ assements of psychosocial risk factors.ResultsIn more than half of the respondents (52%), increased risk was identified in the domain of working hours. Nearly half of the respondents (49.6%) have an identified high risk in the domain of violence, and more than half of the respondents (52%) are at high risk in the domain of psychoactive substance abuse.DiscussionOur findings show that the present psychosocial ergonomics of the Polish health system must be improved. The COVID-19 pandemic has been a compelling test to assess the current state. Our findings highlighted the fact that HCWs often worked overtime and that many cases of workplace violence and substance abuse were reported.

Published: July 2023

A brain-death-induced cytokine storm damages organs in an organ donor. However, a longer time period between declaration of brain death and organ procurement (procurement interval) is associated with improved outcomes in kidney, liver, heart, and lung transplantation. The aim of this study was to find the optimal procurement interval for pancreas transplantation. Association of procurement interval with pancreas graft outcomes was analyzed using multivariable models adjusted for variables possibly affecting procurement interval and outcomes. Altogether 10,119 pancreas transplantations were included from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients. The median follow-up was 3.2 (IQR 1.01–6.50) years. During the first year, 832 (9.0%) grafts were lost, including 555 (6.0%) within the first 30 days. Longer procurement interval was associated with increased death-censored graft survival in a multivariable model (HR 0.944 95% CI 0.917–0.972, per 10-h increase, p &lt; 0.001). A decreasing hazard of graft loss was observed also with 1-year, but not with 30-day graft survival. During 1-year follow-up, 953 (12.1%) patients had an acute rejection, and longer procurement interval was also associated with less acute rejections (OR 0.937 95% CI 0.900–0.976, per 10-h increase, p = 0.002) in the multivariable model. In conclusion, longer procurement interval is associated with improved long-term outcomes in pancreas transplantation.

Thermal stresses due to long running of spark ignition engine often results in wear and tear of cylinder near the top dead center (TDC). These high thermal stresses at TDC arise due to the high temperature gradient during spark ignition. This situation eventually decreases the life and efficiency of an engine. In this study, the numerical and analytical analysis was carried out on 1298 cc in line four stroke spark ignition (SI) engine having a power output of 63 kW to drop the peak temperature at TDC. to reduce the peak value of temperature, square pin fins were used on the surface of engine cylinder wall near TDC. A parametric study is performed to get an optimal solution for removal of the peak temperature load at TDC. The results showed that the fins with dimension of 4 × 4 × 4 mm3 along with uniform spacing of 2 mm provide the optimum solution. It has been observed that the peak temperature at TDC dropped down considerably from 160 °C to 133 °C (a percentage reduction of 16.87%) for the pin fins case as compared to without the fin case. Furthermore, the heat transfer effectiveness for the optimum case was calculated as 3.32, whereas for numerical and analytical study it was calculated as 3.43. The error recorded between both the values was limited to 3.2%.

Published: July 2023

BackgroundMost cancer diagnostic pathways start from primary care and several factors affect the diagnostic processes.AimTo analyse the associations between patient characteristics, symptom presentation, and cancer type and the GP’s assessment of the diagnostic processes.Design and settingGeneral practices in the North, Central, and Southern regions of Denmark were invited to participate in a questionnaire survey.MethodParticipating GPs received a list of patients with incident cases of cancer in the period between 1 March 2019 and 28 February 2021 based on administrative hospital data. A questionnaire was completed for each patient, addressing symptom presentation and the GP’s assessment of the diagnostic process both overall and in four subcategories (the patient’s role, the GP’s role, the transition between primary and secondary care, and the secondary sector’s role).ResultsA total of 187 general practices informed on 8240 patients. For 5868 patients, diagnostic pathways started in general practice. Almost half (48.3%, 2837/5868) presented with specific cancer symptoms. GPs assessed 55.6% (3263) and 32.3% (1897) of the diagnostic processes as ‘very good’ and ‘predominantly good’, respectively; 11.9% (700) were ‘predominantly poor’ or ‘very poor’ for these 5868 patients. Long symptom duration of ≥2 months prior to GP contact and presenting with non-specific or a combination of non-specific and specific symptoms were associated with a poor overall assessment of the diagnostic process. Assessment in the four subcategories showed that the patient’s role was assessed less positively than the other three categories.ConclusionA longer symptom duration and presenting without cancer-specific symptoms were associated with GPs assessing the diagnostic process as poor.

Published: July 2023

BackgroundGPs play an increasingly important role in proactively preventing dementia. Dementia in 40% of patients could be prevented or delayed by targeting 12 modifiable risk factors throughout life. However, little is known about how GPs perceive their role in dementia prevention and the associated barriers.AimTo explore the role of GPs in dementia prevention.Design and settingQualitative study among UK GPs.MethodSemi-structured online interviews were conducted with 11 UK GPs exploring their views regarding their role in dementia prevention. Data were analysed using thematic analysis.ResultsGPs reported that they never explicitly discuss dementia risk with patients, even when patients are presenting with risk factors, but acknowledge that dementia prevention should be part of their role. They advocate for adopting a whole team approach to primary care preventive practice, using long-term condition/medication reviews or NHS health checks as a platform to enable dementia risk communication targeting already at-risk individuals. Barriers included a lack of time and an absence of knowledge and education about the modifiable dementia risk factors, as well as a reluctance to use ‘dementia’ as a term within the appointment for fear of causing health anxiety. ‘Brain health’ was perceived as offering a more encouraging discursive tool for primary care practitioners, supporting communication and behaviour change.ConclusionThere needs to be a whole-systems shift towards prioritising brain health and supporting primary care professionals in their preventive role. Education is key to underpinning this role in dementia prevention.

BackgroundAdverse drug reaction (ADR) related to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) may negatively affect patients’ treatment outcomes.AimTo investigate the impact of ACEIs/ARBs-related ADR consultation on cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and all-cause mortality.Design and settingPropensity score-matched cohort study of ACEIs/ARBs between 2004 and 2019 using UK IQVIA medical research data.MethodADR consultations were identified using standardised designated codes. Propensity scores were calculated based on comorbidities, concomitant medications, frailty, and polypharmacy. Cox’s proportional hazard regression model was used to compare the outcomes between patients in ADR and non-ADR groups. In the secondary analysis, treatment- pattern changes following the ADR were examined and the subsequent outcomes were compared.ResultsAmong 1 471 906 eligible users of ACEIs/ARBs, 13 652 (0.93%) patients had ACEIs/ARBs- related ADR consultation in primary care. Patients with ACEIs/ARBs-related ADR consultation had an increased risk of subsequent CVD events and all- cause mortality in both primary prevention (CVD events: adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.22, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.05 to 1.43; all-cause mortality: aHR 1.14, 95% CI = 1.01 to 1.27) and secondary prevention cohorts (CVD events: aHR 1.13, 95% CI = 1.05 to 1.21; all-cause mortality: aHR 1.15, 95% CI = 1.09 to 1.21). Half (50.19%) of patients with ADR continued to use ACEIs/ARBs, and these patients had a reduced risk of mortality (aHR 0.88, 95% CI = 0.82 to 0.95) compared with those who discontinued using ACEIs/ARBs.ConclusionThis study provides information on the burden of ADR on patients and the health system. The findings call for additional monitoring and treatment strategies for patients affected by ADR to mitigate the risks of adverse clinical outcomes.

Published: July 2023

En un país donde la frontera agraria avanza rápidamente, la concentración urbana y la comodificación de las ciudades avanzan a la par y el espacio público se organiza en función del consumo y la producción, la pregunta sobre el ordenamiento socio-espacial deviene crucial. Los procesos de ordenamiento no son fijos, inmutables o unívocos, son procesos dinámicos que operan a la par del imaginario modernizador del ordenamiento territorial. El libro “Ordenar, regular, resistir. Disputas políticas por el espacio” ofrece un aporte a la literatura sobre la producción del espacio, propone que nos preguntemos sobre qué significa el orden y el desorden en la configuración espacial de los estados-territorios modernos.

The dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) algorithm is a widely used factorization and dimensionality reduction technique in time series analysis. When analyzing high-dimensional time series, the DMD algorithm requires extremely large amounts of computational power. To accelerate the DMD algorithm, we propose a quantum-classical hybrid algorithm that we call the quantum dynamic mode decomposition (QDMD) algorithm. Given a time series

and obtains a quantum state containing the main singular values and singular vectors of the decomposed matrix, then performs a low-sampling-frequency process on the obtained quantum state and computes the low-dimensional projection of the DMD operator through the sampling results. Finally, the algorithm computes the DMD eigenvalues and prepares the amplitude-encoding states of the DMD modes using the obtained classical information and

Published: July 2023

This research was made in order to see which method performance is better between the KNN (K-Nearest Neighbor) regression method and the multiple linear regression method on Boston Housing data. The method performace referred here is MAE, RMSE, MAPE, and R2. The KNN method is a method to predict something based on the closest training examples of an object. Meanwhile, multiple linear regression is a forecasting technique involving more than one independent variable. The comparison of the two methods is based on the results of the Mean Absolute Percent Error (MAPE). In this research the definitions of distance used are Euclidean distance and Minkowski distance. The K value in the KNN method defines the number of nearest neighbors to be examined to determine the value of a dependent variable, in this research we use K values from 1 to 10 for each test data and definition of distance. In this research, the percentage of test data used was 20%, 30%, and 40% for both methods. The best MAPE value obtained by the KNN regression method was 12,89% at K = 3 for Euclidean distance and 13,22% at K = 3 for Minkowski distance. Meanwhile the best MAPE value for the multiple linear regression method is 17,17%. The best method between the two methods is the KNN regression method as seen from the MAPE value of the KNN regression method which is smaller than the MAPE value of the multiple linear regression method.

Published: July 2023

There are several methods used for the classification problems. There are many different kinds of fields that can be used. Nowadays, Support Vector Machine (SVM) is a popular classification method that has been proposed by many researchers. Using the same method but different distribution methods for creating training and testing data in the same dataset can yield varying results in terms of prediction accuracy, which is crucial in classification. In this paper, we compare the prediction accuracy between SVM results and Logistic Regression results to determine the better method to classify the current condition of the patient after undergoing some treatment. Several treatments are used in this paper, including feature selection, feature extraction, separating the train and testing data using Holdout and K-Fold CV. Stepwise selection is done to reduce the features. Training and testing dataset is obtained using the five stratified and non-stratified holdout and five fold stratified and non-stratified cross validation. The result shows that the best method to classify the cancer dataset is five fold stratified cross validation SVM with radial kernel. The obtained accuracy is 81,816% with variance as much as 0,94%.
