Authors: Belice Tahir 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
The aim: İkigai, or well-being, has been associated with many positive outcomes in the physical and mental health of elderly people. In the present study, we conducted a validity and reliability study of the İkigai-9 scale in Turkish society and outlined its associations with facets of well-being.Methods: A translation, re-translation method was used to create linguistic equivalence of the İkigai-9 scale in the Turkish language. The correlations between the İkigai-9 Turkish version with the Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale Short Form and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) were studied. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with volunteers regarding the scale. Data were saved in excel files and analyzed with SPSS (IBM SPSS for Windows, ver.24).Results: The findings confirmed the validity and reliability of the İkigai-9 Turkish version using 382 participants. The total scores on the İkigai-9 Turkish version were correlated positively with mental well-being and negatively correlated with depression, anxiety, and depression (p<0.05). Moreover, the total İkigai-9 Turkish version scores had a positive correlation with age (p<0.05) but did not differ according to gender (p>0.05).Conclusions: İkigai and studies related to the concept of mental well-being should be widened and expanded across nations. These studies could be beneficial to healthcare providers to attenuate the impact of suffering from various diseases. We present the İkigai-9 Turkish version for further study in both in the national and international contexts that healthcare workers could compare their results in other countries.

Abstract
Background: Post-stroke depression (PSD) has a negative impact on neurologic outcomes and quality of life. Although depression after ischemic stroke has been studied clinically and preclinically, very little is known about the frequency and severity of depression after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Increasing evidence shows that exposure to an enriched environment (EE) after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury has neuroprotective effects in animal models, but its effects after ICH are unknown. Methods: In this study, we investigated the effects of an EE on long-term functional outcome in mice subjected to a collagenase-induced striatal ICH model. Mice were subjected to ICH only or ICH with EE for 6 h/day (8:00 am-2:00 pm). Depressive- and anxiety-like behaviors were evaluated on day 28 with the sucrose preference test, tail suspension test, forced swim test, and light-dark transition experiment. Results: EE exposure reduced brain edema, improved neurologic function, attenuated depressive- and anxiety-like behaviors, promoted spatial learning and memory, increased the expression of transcription factor Nrf2 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and inhibited glutaminase activity in the ICH brain. However, in Nrf2-/- mice with ICH, EE did not mitigate depression-like behaviors on day 28. Conclusions: These findings indicate that EE improves long-term sensorimotor, emotional, and cognitive-behavior outcomes after ICH and that the underlying mechanism involves the Nrf2/BDNF/glutaminase pathway.

Abstract
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating cerebral vascular disease which causes neurological deficits including long-term cognitive deficit. Demyelination of white matter is correlated with cognitive deficit in SAH. Electroacupuncture (EA) is a traditional Chinese medical treatment which protects against cognitive deficit in varies of neurological diseases. However, whether EA exerts protective effect on cognitive function in SAH has not been investigated. The underlying mechanism of remyelination regulated by EA remains unclear.This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of EA on cognitive deficit in a rat model of SAH. SAH was induced in SD rats (n = 70) by endovascular perforation. Rats in EA group received EA treatment (10min per day) under isoflurane anesthesia after SAH. Rats in SAH and sham groups received no treatment. The mortality rate, neurological score, cognitive function, cerebral blood flow (CBF), and remyelination in sham, SAH and EA groups were assessed at 21 d after SAH.EA treatment alleviated cognitive deficits and myelin injury of rats compared with that in SAH group. Moreover, EA treatment enhanced remyelination in white matter and promoted the differentiation of OPCs after SAH. EA treatment inhibited the expression of Id2 and promoted the expression of SOX10 in oligodendrocyte cells. Additionally, the cerebral blood flow (CBF) of rats was increased by EA compared with that in SAH group. EA treatment exerts protective effect against cognitive deficit in the late phase of SAH. The underlying mechanisms involve promoting OPC differentiation and remyelination in white matter via regulating the expression of Id2 and SOX10. The improvement of CBF may also account for the protective effect of EA on cognitive function. EA treatment is a potential therapy for the treatment of cognitive deficit after SAH.

To date, knowledge and practice of nurses towards catheter-associated urinary tract infection is still lower. However, in Ethiopia, there is no published scientific research describing the knowledge and practice of nurses on catheter-associated urinary tract infections prevention. Therefore, this study aimed to assess knowledge, practice and associated factors of catheter-associated urinary tract infection prevention among nurses working at university of Gondar comprehensive specialized hospital, northwest Ethiopia, 2021Methods: Institutional based cross sectional study was conducted at University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Referral HospitalfromApril 01 to May01, 2021 among 423nurses. Simple random sampling technique was used. Data were collected by using self-administered questionnaire then coded and entered into EPI- Data version 4.6 and then exported to SPSS version 23. All variables with P-value <0.25 in the binarylogistic regression analyses were included in the multivariable regression analysis. The degree of association was interpreted by using the adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals, and the significance level was declared at P-value <0.05. The Hosmer–Lemeshow test was used to check the fitness of the model.Results: The knowledge and practice of nurses towards CAUTI prevention was 53% and 50% respectively. Good knowledge was associated with sex [AOR=1.84, 95% CI (1.09, 3.11)], work experience [AOR=2.36, 95% CI (1.09, 5.10)], working unit [AOR=6.9, 95% CI (2.11, 22.52)], received training [AOR=2.33, 95% CI (1.17, 4.65)] and had guideline [AOR=2.78, 95% CI (1.59, 4.88)]. Good practice was significantly associated with sex, work experience, good attitude and good knowledge towards CAUTI prevention [AOR=2.19, 95% CI (1.23, 3.88)], [AOR= 5.44, 95% CI (1.66, 17.84)], [AOR=3.06, 95% CI (1.65, 5.67)], and [AOR=5.28, 95% CI (2.86, 9.76)] respectively.Conclusions:Inthis study nearly half of nurses had good knowledge and practice towards CAUTI prevention.

Abstract
Objectives: Food price is a determining factor in food choices. However, its relationship with diet quality is unclear in Chinese adults. This study aimed to examine daily energy-adjusted dietary cost (Chinese Yuan, CNY/2000kcal) concerning diet quality in northeast central Chinese adults. Methods: The food consumed by 680 Chinese adults from Henan province during the year 2020 was recorded by 24-h dietary recalls. Three dietary quality indices, namely the nutrient-rich foods (NRF) index, the mean adequacy ratio (MAR), and the energy density (ED), were adopted. Daily energy-adjusted diet cost was calculated by dividing the estimated daily diet costs (CNY/day) by the energy intake per day (kcal/day) and multiplying 2000. Results: Subjects who closely adhered to the NRF9.2, MAR, and ED paid daily ¥8.92, ¥13.17, and ¥14.34 more for food consumption, respectively, than those who weakly adhered to these dietary patterns. Furthermore, adjusted linear regression analysis revealed that an increase in ¥1 of the energy-adjusted diet cost per day was associated with a change of 0.494 units (P< 0.001), 0.003 units (P<0.001), and -0.018 units (P<0.001) in the NRF9.2, MAR, and ED, respectively. Conclusion: Higher energy-adjusted diet costs were associated with higher-quality diets. This might be of importance for public health policies in an effort to develop strategies to promote healthy diets by regulating food and diet costs.

Abstract
Background: Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections are becoming more common, but the epidemiologic characteristics of NTM in much of the world remain largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors for NTM infection in a southern coastal area of China.Results: 1759 individuals suspected of having tuberculosis were included in the analysis, of whom 140 (7.96%) had NTM isolated from their sputa. The NTM species identified by the Kraken 2/Bracken and Hain methods were highly consistent. M. abscessus complex bacilli were the most prevalent species isolated (n=58, 41.43%), followed by the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) (n=41, 29.29%). Residency in Shenzhen for more than 2 years (OR 4.205; 95% CI 1.851-9.552; P = 0.001) and a history of prior TB (OR 4.263; 95% CI 1.871-9.714; P = 0.001) increased the risk for NTM infections. Whole-genome sequencing data from many of the MAC isolates showed high genomic diversity and heterogeneity.Conclusion: M. abscessus was the most common causative NTM species found in symptomatic patients in this region. Living in Shenzhen for more than 2 years and having a previous history of TB were associated with an increased risk of NTM infection. MAC genomes are often heterogenous.

Abstract
In the present work, we studied the interaction of polyphenylsilsesquioxane with various β-diketonate complexes of titanium by mechanochemical activation. Polyphenylsilsesquioxane, bis-(2,4-pentanedionate) titanium dichloride, bis-(1-phenyl-1,3-butanedionate) titanium dichloride and bis-(1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propanedionate) titanium dichloride were used as starting reagents. Synthesis products were studied by various chemical and physicochemical methods of analysis. The composition of the obtained compounds has been determined. It is shown that under conditions of mechanochemical activation, high molecular weight products with a Si/Ti ratio different from the specified ones are formed. In addition, under the action of mechanical stresses, the initial titanium complexes (with the exception of acetylacetonate) polymerize with the formation of coordination high-molecular compounds, which are destroyed by the addition of ethyl alcohol. The work is fundamental and contributes to the understanding of the mechanisms of mechanochemical synthesis. The work is aimed at finding effective and environmentally friendly methods for the synthesis and modification of elementorganic high-molecular compounds.

Published: February 2022

Abstract
Background: Microsurgical free-tissue transfer has been a safe option for tissue reconstruction in the last decades. Reliable perfusion assessments must be performed to increase the safety of the procedure and facilitate decision-making regarding postoperative reinterventions. Therefore, the present study analyzed the diagnostic accuracy of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) after free-tissue transfer surgery.Methods: From January 2017 to October 2019, 42 consecutive free-flap surgeries were performed, and their outcomes were analyzed via HSI. Clinical examination of free-flap perfusion was initially performed. The clinical examination findings were subsequently compared with those of HSI. Next, decision-making and postoperative complications rates were analyzed. Potential venous congestion with subsequent necrosis was defined as a tissue hemoglobin index of ≥53%. To compare two sets of data a student’s t-test was used. The sensitivity and specificity for detecting flap failure were evaluated based on the dependence of time using the Fisher’s exact test. A p-value of ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: The success rate of microsurgical tissue transfer was 83.2%. Seven patients presented with venous congestion, causing total flap necrosis. All flaps required additional surgery, debridement, and tissue reconstruction. 124 assessments were made. HSI accurately identified 11 out of 13 pathological images. Three images were identified as false positive and two images as false negative. The sensitivity and specificity of HSI were 84% and 97%, with the positive and negative predictive values of 78% and 98%, respectively.Conclusions: A tissue hemoglobin index of ≥53% could predict a venous congestion after free-flap surgery within the first 72 h post operation. HSI could reasonably correlate with clinical observation. Until now, HSI does not show any superiority over any other monitoring modality.
An Innovative Method for Constraints Handling of Structural Optimization Problems Fuzzy-based Ideal Feasible Design Technique
Authors: Talatahari siamak , Azar B. Farahmand , Sadrekarimi N. 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
In this paper, a specified constraint-handling technique for structures is proposed and developed. This new technique is based on fuzzy-logic and some mechanical properties of structures. Compared to commonly used penalty techniques, it does not require pre-tuning in parameters and it shows more stable results and requires considerable fewer iterations to converge without reducing the solution quality. Therefore, the new technique is more user friendly. Also, successful convergence to feasible solutions removes the necessity of using final local search approaches which required the designer to execute some manual try-and-errors to achieve a feasible acceptable design for reporting. Robustness of the proposed fitness function, called Fuzzy Ideal-Feasible-Design (FIFD) technique, is verified on three large scale steel frames using different meta-heuristic methods. Brilliant results show that FIFD is a revolution in handling design criteria that might be a significant step in commercializing optimum design among the practical users in construction markets.

Abstract
Foot adaptation in the typically developed foot is well explored. In this study, we explore the form and function in an atypical foot, the Chinese Bound foot. We evaluate the foot shape and posture, gait plantar loading and bone density adaptation. The atypical foot with binding practice led to increased foot arch and vertically oriented calcaneus. This causes the tibia, which typically acts as a load transfer beam and shock absorber to extend its function all the way through the talus to the calcaneus. This is evident in the bound foot by (i) reduced Center of pressure movement in the medial-lateral direction, suggesting reduced supination-pronation; (ii) increased density and stress in the talus-calcaneus articulation; and (iii) increased bone growth in the bound foot at articulation joints in the tibia, talus, and calcaneus. Knowledge may provide insights into the understanding of bone resorption and adaptation in response to different loading profiles.

Abstract
Background: The diagnosis of a neurodegenerative disease (ND) produces profound changes in the quality of life of the affected families. Despite the vital importance of these processes, the scientific literature has addressed this topic almost exclusively relating to the main caregiver or using limited approaches. Thus, the main objective of this research is to achieve a deeper understanding of the quality of family life of people with a neurodegenerative disease, following a mixed-method approach that combines quantitative and qualitative methodology. Methods: The quantitative instrument was the Spanish version of the Family Quality of Life Survey – Neurodegenerative Disease (FQOLS-ND), which was completed by 300 participating families. The qualitative methodology was used in two focus groups with family caregivers, with a total of 21 participants. Results: On the one hand, confirmation of the dimensional structure of the scale in the focus groups was obtained and, on the other hand, the results of family quality of life in attainment and satisfaction were shown to be high for Family Relations and Careers and Planning for Careers and low for Support from Services and Leisure and Recreation. Conclusions: The results of this study, through the combination of quantitative and qualitative information, helps to identify key issues to optimize services that respond to the priority needs of families.

Abstract
Aiming at the problem that the government regulates the carbon emission of enterprises, this paper introduces the prospect theory to correct the revenue function of government and enterprise, considering the risk of air quality deterioration, built an evolutionary game model of government and enterprise based on prospect theory. According to the weight of the two sides on the probability of air quality deterioration under the equilibrium state, the risk of air quality deterioration is divided into three levels: low, medium and high. Analyzed the evolution strategy of government and enterprise under different levels. The results show that when the risk of air quality deterioration is low, the government tends to negative regulation and enterprises adopt traditional production. When the risk of air quality deterioration is high, government tend to be positive in regulation and enterprises are inclined to low-carbon production at the beginning. However, with the implementation of enterprises low-carbon production, government departments will turn to negative regulation. At the same time, there will be incentive paradox phenomenon in the process of government regulation of carbon emissions.In the long run, it is more effective to strengthen the punishment of government departments' ineffective supervision than to punish enterprises.
