Mental health of Chinese international students: narrative review of experiences in the UK
Authors: Magnusdottir Erla , Thornicroft Graham 
Published: October 2022

Background: Chinese international students are the largest group of international students in the UK. Although there is considerable research into acculturation and acculturation stress of these students, little is known about their mental health experiences. Methods: A narrative review of the literature was conducted looking at literature published between 2009 –2019 in order to learn more about the mental health experience of Chinese international students in the UK. Results: It is difficult to confirm whether Chinese international students in the UK experience heightened risk of psychological distress, as argued by studies on other countries. However, these students do seem less likely to seek formal mental health support compared to home students, but rather rely more on informal support from friends. While Western mental health models are likely to be favoured by these students, certain cultural beliefs around prevention and cause of mental ill health might be present. Conclusion: Chinese international students in the UK are diverse and we still do not understand enough about their mental health experiences, which is a concern given the continued growth of their numbers. Caution is necessary when interpreting how some cultural factors are reported. China has undergone vast changes in recent years so drawing on studies that date back too far might not accurately capture Chinese youth today. The literature acknowledges that there will be new aspects to the experiences of mental health of these students, including new societal pressures relating to studying abroad. This paper also discusses gaps in our knowledge and practical steps that can be taken to support Chinese international students’ psychological wellbeing while studying in the UK.

This study aims to determine the effect of tax administration, services to taxpayers, tax sanctions and tax incentives on land and building tax compliance. This research includes quantitative research. The population in this study were taxpayers for Land and Building Tax in Kartoharjo District, Madiun City, determining the number of samples in this study using the Slovin formula with a maximum tolerable error rate of 10% so that 100 primary data can be obtained in the form of a questionnaire. Data analysis using multiple linear regression.
The results of this study indicate that service to taxpayers and tax sanctions have a positive and significant effect on taxpayer compliance, while tax administration and tax incentives do not have a positive and significant effect on taxpayer compliance. Suggestions in further research are that it is necessary to hold counseling about the importance of paying taxes and the government creates a mobile application that contains information about land and building taxes, the government collaborates with minimarkets, postal or virtual payment applications to open land and building tax payment services so that it can make it easier for taxpayers to make payments, the government increases fines for taxpayers who violate it so that there is a more deterrent effect.
La gestión del patrimonio a través de las redes municipales: el GCPHE y la OCPM

Si bien la Convención de la UNESCO está firmada y aceptada por los Estados parte, son los municipios, las ciudades, los gobiernos locales en definitiva quienes suelen tener en última instancia la responsabilidad de la gestión y de la conservación del Patrimonio cuando la inscripción recae en un centro histórico. El ayuntamiento es por excelencia la administración y la institución de proximidad, la más cercana al ciudadano y la primera en recibir sus inquietudes. Son quienes mejor conocen las debilidades del Patrimonio y sus amenazas, pero también sus fortalezas y sus oportunidades. Es por ello que la gestión municipal tiene un papel fundamental en la correcta aplicación de los valores de la Convención del Patrimonio, un valor que se fortalece y potencia cuando las ciudades se unen en redes de cooperación municipal y aúnan esfuerzos, intercambian experiencias y conocen las buenas prácticas en la gestión del patrimonio. Veremos dos casos en los que la ciudad de Córdoba (España) viene trabajando intensamente desde hace más de 25 años tanto a nivel nacional como a nivel internacional: el Grupo de Ciudades Patrimonio de la Humanidad de España (GCPHE) y la Organización de Ciudades del Patrimonio Mundial (OCPM).

Las pinturas rupestres constituyen uno de los ejemplos de mayor interés dentro del patrimonio prehistórico. Se trata de manifestaciones que están sujetas a un proceso de deterioro continúo condicionado por su ambiente natural. A raíz de la declaración patrimonial de la Unesco de 1998, este tipo de manifestaciones ha venido estudiándose, catalogándose y conservándose de manera sistemática. De hecho, en los últimos años se está priorizando la implementación de sistemas de estudio no invasivo que puedan aportar datos de naturaleza conservativa o documental. El estudio con sistemas de imagen multibanda y multiespectral permitirá obtener información sobre las prácticas pictóricas; distinguir las secciones originales de las pinturas y descubrir superposiciones figurativas; o mejorar la visualización de pigmentos que, a menudo, se encuentran semi-borrados y por tanto resultan escasamente visibles.

In this research study, extensive literature searches on the compressive strength of concrete produced from the addition of fly ash (FA) and silica fume (SF) as extra constituents to the conventional concrete mixes, which gave rise to 330 mix points of concrete database. Due to the worrisome environmental impact of concrete production and usage in concrete activities, it has been pertinent to conduct the life cycle impact assessment of this procedure. Secondly, due to the over dependence of concrete production experts on laboratory exercise, there is also an urgent need to propose equations that reduce this dependence, that can be used in design, construction and performance evaluation of concrete infrastructure, hence the multi-objective nature of this research work. The results of the global warming potential (GWP) based on cement dosage show that Portland cement contributes about 90% of the total score. This is followed by the use of coarse aggregate contributing 6%, superplasticizer, 3% and fine aggregates, 2%. These show the functions of CO2 emissions and other greenhouses gas emissions in the entire system. Also, the result of the terrestrial acidification potential (TAP) for the concrete mixes in this study show that the lowest cement mix “C340-FAg658-FA0-SF15ˮ has a human toxicity, both carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic that showed an added impact of about 14 kg of 1, 4 equivalents of dichlorobenzene (DCB eq.). This result is 428% less impact than other studies found in the literature that used FA. Finally, it was found that the addition of FA and SF in concrete has a lowering effect on the environmental impact indicators due to reduced cement dosage. Furthermore, the results of the model predictions show that ANN with a performance index of 0.986 (4.8%) showed decisive superiority to predict the compressive strength of the FA-SF concrete over EPR, 0.951 (8.7%), GP, 0.94 (9.5%) and GEP, 0.93 (10%).

Using the microwave-assisted method, novel Fe3O4/Zn-metal organic framework magnetic nanostructures were synthesized. The crystallinity, thermal stability, adsorption/desorption isotherms, morphology/size distribution, and magnetic hysteresis of synthesized Fe3O4/Zn-metal organic framework magnetic nanostructures were characterized by XRD patterns, TGA curve, BET adsorption/desorption technique, SEM image, and VSM curve, respectively. After confirming the Fe3O4/Zn-metal organic framework magnetic nanostructures, its antimicrobial properties against Gram-positive bacterial, Gram-negative bacterial, and fungal strains based on minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) values were studied. The MIC values in antimicrobial activity for Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains, between 16–128 μg/ml, and for fungal strain, 128 μg/ml were observed. The results showed that the high specific surface area of Fe3O4/Zn-metal organic framework magnetic nanostructures caused the antimicrobial power of nanoparticles to be high, and the observed antimicrobial effects were higher than some known commercial antimicrobial drugs. Another advantage of the specific surface area of Fe3O4/Zn-metal organic framework magnetic nanostructures was its high catalytic properties in the three-component reaction of isatin, malononitrile, and dimedone. New spiro [indoline-pyranopyrimidines] derivatives were synthesized with high efficiency. The catalytic activity results of Fe3O4/Zn-metal organic framework magnetic nanostructures showed that, in addition to recyclability, derivatives could be synthesized in less time than previously reported methods. The results of investigating the catalytic activity of Fe3O4/Zn-metal organic framework magnetic nanostructures showed that the spiro [indoline-pyranopyrimidines] derivatives were synthesized in the time range of 10–20 min with an efficiency of over 85%. As a final result, it can be concluded that the microwave synthesis method improves the unique properties of magnetic nanostructures, especially its specific surface area, and has increased its efficiency.

Published: October 2022

BackgroundReintubation is a serious adverse respiratory event after Stanford type A aortic dissection surgery (AADS), however, published studies focused on reintubation after AADS are very limited worldwide. The objectives of the current study were to establish an early risk prediction model for reintubation after AADS and to clarify its relationship with short-term and long-term prognosis.MethodsPatients undergoing AADS between 2016–2019 in a single institution were identified and divided into two groups based on whether reintubation was performed. Independent predictors were identified by univariable and multivariable analysis and a clinical prediction model was then established. Internal validation was performed using bootstrap method with 1,000 replications. The relationship between reintubation and clinical outcomes was determined by univariable and propensity score matching analysis.ResultsReintubation were performed in 72 of the 492 included patients (14.6%). Three preoperative and one intraoperative predictors for reintubation were identified by multivariable analysis, including older age, smoking history, renal insufficiency and transfusion of intraoperative red blood cells. The model established using the above four predictors showed moderate discrimination (AUC = 0.753, 95% CI, [0.695–0.811]), good calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow χ2 value = 3.282, P = 0.915) and clinical utility. Risk stratification was performed and three risk intervals were identified. Reintubation was closely associated with poorer in-hospital outcomes, however, no statistically significant association between reintubation and long-term outcomes has been observed in patients who were discharged successfully after surgery.ConclusionsThe requirement of reintubation after AADS is prevalent, closely related to adverse in-hospital outcomes, but there is no statistically significant association between reintubation and long-term outcomes. Predictors were identified and a risk model predicting reintubation was established, which may have clinical utility in early individualized risk assessment and targeted intervention.

Published: October 2022

BackgroundFunctional vitamin B12 deficiency is common in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), such as heart failure and myocardial infarction. Methylmalonic acid (MMA) is a specific and sensitive marker of vitamin B12 deficiency. However, there are scarce data in regard to the relationship between MMA and CVDs.Materials and methodsIn this cross-sectional study, we analyzed data of 5,313 adult participants of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013–2014. Associations between MMA and other variables were assessed with linear regression models. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models were employed to explore the association between MMA and CVDs.ResultsThe weighted prevalence of CVDs was 8.8% in the general population of the USA. Higher MMA levels were found in participants with CVDs (p &lt; 0.001). Linear regression models revealed positive associations between serum MMA level and age (p &lt; 0.001), glycohemoglobin (p = 0.023), fasting glucose (p = 0.044), mean cell volume (p = 0.038), and hypertension (p = 0.003). In the multivariable logistic model adjusting for age, gender, ethnicity, smoking, hypertension, glycohemoglobin, body mass index (BMI), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), renal dysfunction and vitamin B12, serum MMA (adjusted odds ratio, 3.08; 95% confidence interval: 1.63–5.81, p = 0.002, per ln nmol/L increment) was associated with CVDs.ConclusionOur study demonstrated that elevated serum MMA levels were independently associated with the presence of CVDs and may be used to predict the occurrence of CVDs.

BackgroundThe targeted therapy for lung cancer relies on prognostic genes and requires further research. No research has been conducted to determine the effect of endothelin-converting enzyme 2 (ECE2) in lung cancer.MethodsWe analyzed the expression of ECE2 in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and normal adjacent tissues and its relationship with clinicopathological characteristics from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus database (GEO). Immunohistochemical staining was used to further validate the findings. GO/KEGG enrichment analysis and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of ECE2 co-expression were performed using R software. Data from TIMER, the GEPIA database, and TCGA were analyzed to determine the relationship between ECE2 expression and LUAD immune infiltration. To investigate the relationship between ECE2 expression levels and LUAD m6A modification, TCGA data and GEO data were analyzed.ResultsECE2 is highly expressed in various cancers including LUAD. ECE2 showed high accuracy in distinguishing tumor and normal sample results. The expression level of ECE2 in LUAD was significantly correlated with tumor stage and prognosis. GO/KEGG enrichment analysis showed that ECE2 was closely related to mitochondrial gene expression, ATPase activity and cell cycle. GSEA analysis showed that ECE2-related differential gene enrichment pathways were related to mitotic cell cycle, MYC pathway, PLK1 pathway, DNA methylation pathway, HIF1A pathway and Oxidative stress-induced cellular senescence. Analysis of the TIMER, GEPIA database, and TCGA datasets showed that ECE2 expression levels were significantly negatively correlated with B cells, CD4+ cells, M2 macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells. TCGA and GEO datasets showed that ECE2 was significantly associated with m6A modification-related genes HNRNPC, IGF2BP1, IGF2BP3 and RBM1.ConclusionECE2 is associated with m6A modification and immune infiltration and is a prognostic biomarker in LUAD.
