Cannabis use by individuals with spinal cord injury in the UK: a call for improved patient education and physician awareness for pain and spasticity management

Study designProspective observational qualitative study.ObjectiveCannabis is used by patients for the treatment of chronic pain, spasticity, sleep issues or mood disorders such as anxiety and depression. Since 2018, it has been authorised in the United Kingdom for medical use as an unlicensed medicine. This study aims to determine if patients are using cannabis for the management of symptoms related to spinal cord injury, and if so, whether they are using medical or illicit cannabis.MethodsSpinal cord injury patients from the Yorkshire Regional Spinal Injuries Centre and SPINE Community in the United Kingdom were surveyed. Participants were sent a 7-point electronic survey. All results were anonymous, and confidentiality was maintained throughout the process.ResultsIn total, 223 patients completed the survey. Not all patients answered every question. Of those who responded 65.35% (n = 132) were paraplegic and 34.65% (n = 70) were tetraplegic. Patients were suffering from chronic pain (longer than 3 months), spasticity, loss of/difficulty in sleeping or anxiety/depression. Almost 15% (14.93%, n = 33 out of 221) used cannabis to manage their symptoms, out of those the majority used street cannabis (79.41%, n = 27 out of 34) were using street cannabis.ConclusionThis study demonstrates that there are spinal cord injury patients in the UK using cannabis to treat their symptoms. A majority appear to be using illicit cannabis. Given that cannabis can interact with other medications, and that the quality and content of illicit cannabis can be highly variable and at times dangerous, it is important for physicians to discuss cannabis use with their patients. This can inform prescribing and allow them to educate patients on the dangers of medical cannabis and potential alternatives.

ACTION-FRANCE: Insights into Perceptions, Attitudes, and Barriers to Obesity Management in France

Background/Objectives: ACTION-FRANCE (Awareness, Care, and Treatment In Obesity maNagement in France) aims to identify the perceptions, attitudes, behaviors, and potential barriers to effective obesity management in France and guide collaborative actions. Methods: ACTION-FRANCE is a cross-sectional survey of people with obesity (PwO) and healthcare professionals (HCPs) in France. The PwO and HCP survey questionnaire periods ran from 27 September 2022 to 1 February 2023 and from 19 December 2022 to 31 March 2023, respectively. Results: The study, encompassing 1226 PwO and 166 HCPs, reveals a shared recognition of obesity as a chronic condition. However, despite being requested by most PwO, weight-related discussions are surprisingly infrequent, leading to delayed diagnosis and care. PwO and HCPs held different views as to why: HCPs often attributed it to PwO’s lack of motivation or disinterest, whereas PwO avoided them because they felt weight management was their own responsibility and were uncomfortable discussing it. When weight was discussed, primarily with general practitioners (GPs), discussions mostly focused on physical activity and diet. However, results identified the strong psychosocial impact of obesity: 42% of respondents reported anxiety/depressive symptoms, and many more hesitated to engage in certain social activities because of their weight. Psychotherapy was only discussed by 55% of HCPs. Pharmaceutical options were also rarely discussed (19.5% of HCPs), though 56.1% of PwO reported they would want to. Conclusions: HCPs’ and PwO’s perceptions differed significantly and need to converge through enhanced communication. A holistic approach, integrating comprehensive training for GPs and recognizing psychological comorbidities, would help to bridge perceptual gaps effectively and foster more empathetic and effective patient care.

Toward effective secure code reviews: an empirical study of security-related coding weaknesses

Identifying security issues early is encouraged to reduce the latent negative impacts on the software systems. Code review is a widely-used method that allows developers to manually inspect modified code, catching security issues during a software development cycle. However, existing code review studies often focus on known vulnerabilities, neglecting coding weaknesses, which can introduce real-world security issues that are more visible through code review. The practices of code reviews in identifying such coding weaknesses are not yet fully investigated. To better understand this, we conducted an empirical case study in two large open-source projects, OpenSSL and PHP. Based on 135,560 code review comments, we found that reviewers raised security concerns in 35 out of 40 coding weakness categories. Surprisingly, some coding weaknesses related to past vulnerabilities, such as memory errors and resource management, were discussed less often than the vulnerabilities. Developers attempted to address raised security concerns in many cases (39%-41%), but a substantial portion was merely acknowledged (30%-36%), and some went unfixed due to disagreements about solutions (18%-20%). This highlights that coding weaknesses can slip through code review even when identified. Our findings suggest that reviewers can identify various coding weaknesses leading to security issues during code reviews. However, these results also reveal shortcomings in current code review practices, indicating the need for more effective mechanisms or support for increasing awareness of security issue management in code reviews.

Conclusions in this research include external marketing variables, internal marketing have a significant effect on the variable intention to revisit at Hospital X in Malang district, both simultaneously and partially dan the variable that more dominantly influences patient satisfaction is the internal marketing variable.

"Nobody does checkups back there": A qualitative study of refugees' healthcare needs in the United States from stakeholders' perspectives.

The number of refugees globally grew to 35.3 million in 2022, and many refugees are exposed to various health risks along their migration journey. As a result, they may arrive in host communities with numerous health issues, including communicable diseases and chronic and mental health conditions. Navigating the healthcare system in a host country proves to be a significant challenge for them, leading to delayed care. This qualitative study explored the convolute healthcare needs of refugees in the United States by soliciting insights from stakeholders involved in refugee resettlement and healthcare. In-depth interviews were conducted with fifteen stakeholders who work closely with refugees, including healthcare providers, cultural/clinical health navigators supporting refugees, staff from refugee resettlement agencies and governmental entities, and researchers studying refugee health. Following informed consent, interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and imported into MAXQDA 2022 (VERBI Software) for thematic analysis. The results revealed key themes, including the heterogeneity of refugee populations, limited awareness of preventive healthcare, high prevalence and suboptimal management of chronic conditions, complexity of the healthcare system, lack of follow-up, and language barriers. Further research is warranted concerning the long-term health of refugee populations in the United States. Additionally, more tailored programs involving peer educators are recommended to support refugee communities in navigating the complex healthcare system in the host country.

Analisis Kondisi Ekowisata Mangrove Belawan Sicanang di Kecamatan Medan Belawan, Kota Medan

Mangroves are plants that live in coastal areas which have great benefits, namely as abrasion barriers, wave breakers, as a food source for marine biota, absorbing carbon dioxide, and producing oxygen. Sicanang Mangrove Ecotourism is a mangrove forest that is open to the public to visit this ecotourism. The location is in Belawan Sicanang Village, Medan Belawan District, Medan City. Data collection techniques were used to obtain primary data and secondary data through observation, interviews and literature study. Research data was analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis. The research results show that since 2020, this ecotourism has been closed and is not being maintained to this day. The cause of the damage to ecotourism is due to the local community's lack of understanding about developing mangrove ecotourism in the area, such as cutting down mangrove trees for wood as furniture material. This causes damage to the mangrove ecosystem and the quantity of mangrove trees decreases. It was concluded that the damage was caused by a lack of attention to repairs from the government and management awareness from the local community.

Institutional Arrangement of Land Administration and Legal Frameworks for Providing Urban Land to Housing Cooperatives in Ethiopia: Evidence from Bahir Dar City

At global level, raising awareness of land management and institutional development plays an important role in building strong institutions for urban, regional, and national development, especially for housing. This can help the urban homeless by providing urban land when they need it. Hence, robust and well-structured urban land administration institutions are crucial for meeting planned housing land demand and achieving national, regional, and city-level objectives, contributing significantly to urban development. Because an effective urban land delivery system for housing favors low-income groups organized as housing cooperatives. However, substantial gaps in the current literature on land administration institutional structure have not been addressed in depth, notably in performing the land delivery process and utilizing communication as a tool between and within land administration functions and levels. The objective of this article is to investigate how an insufficient land administration institutional structure affects urban land supply to housing cooperatives as a capacity bottleneck. To achieve the study’s objectives, interviews and desk reviews were used as part of the mixed-methods approach to identify institutional structure challenges that limit effective communication and impede institutional performance in land delivery. The study found that inadequate institutional structures, conflicting roles, and poor communication channels were responsible for poor urban land delivery for housing cooperatives. Thus, without well-structured institutions in place, managing urban land may become an impossible mission, impeding progress towards sustainable development goals in cities. To this end, it is necessary to reform existing institutional structures to close current performance gaps related to institutional arrangements in urban land administration in general and land delivery for housing in particular. Ultimately, this conclusion calls for further research on responsible land stewardship and institutional arrangements, emphasizing the importance of understanding urban land institutions for housing developers in urban Ethiopia and analogous cities worldwide.

It is imperative to summarize the existing literature in this area to identify the key research topics and possible future directions. Our study is the first of its kind to use an efficient, scalable, data-driven review approach using structural topic modeling to identify the links between DTs and disaster management. The paper has analyzed peer-reviewed Scopus-indexed journal articles on DTs and disaster management published between 2011 and 2023. Nine key research topics were identified, including topics such as technology awareness and education in disaster management, Use of social media in crisis communication, Disaster management interventions through autonomous systems, Communication networks and data applications in disasters, and Disaster management modelling. The topics and future directions represent areas where research and exploration make an important contribution to disaster management by leveraging DTs for better preparedness, response, and recovery in crisis situations.

Awareness and Behavior of Residents on the Classification of Household Solid Waste in Trungmon, Vietnam

The classification of household solid waste (CHSW) in rural areas and areas beginning to urbanize in developing countries is very important. This not only helps reduce environmental pollution but also helps recycle and utilize resources effectively, while creating a healthy and sustainable living environment for the community. The pressure from household solid waste in large cities is an alarming signal that it is necessary to classify household solid waste in rural areas as soon as the urbanization process begins to accelerate strongly. Clearly, research to survey people's awareness and behavior about CHSW in Trung Mon commune, Yen Son district, Tuyen Quang province, Vietnam using sociological survey method through questionnaires is imperative. The findings revealed that residents have a good awareness of the CHSW policy and the majority consider classification necessary. Noticeably, attention is needed on encouraging the use of more environmentally friendly products and increasing education to reinforce awareness and positive habits in waste management to better CHSW practices. By building upon existing research and addressing the unique context of the study area, this research endeavors to provide insights and recommendations for enhancing CHSW practices in similar settings globally.

Early warning of systemic risk in stock market based on EEMD-LSTM.

With the increasing importance of the stock market, it is of great practical significance to accurately describe the systemic risk of the stock market and conduct more accurate early warning research on it. However, the existing research on the systemic risk of the stock market lacks multi-dimensional factors, and there is still room for improvement in the forecasting model. Therefore, to further measure the systemic risk profile of the Chinese stock market, establish a risk early warning system suitable for the Chinese stock market, and improve the risk management awareness of investors and regulators. This paper proposes a combination model of EEMD-LSTM, which can describe the complex nonlinear interaction. Firstly, 35 stock market systemic risk indicators are selected from the perspectives of macroeconomic operation, market cross-contagion and the stock market itself to build a comprehensive indicator system that conforms to the reality of China. Furthermore, based on TEI@I complex system methodology, an EEMD-LSTM model is proposed. The EEMD method is adopted to decompose the composite index sequence into intrinsic mode function components (IMF) of different scales and one trend term. Then the LSTM algorithm is used to predicted and model the decomposed sub-sequences. Finally, the forecast result of the composite index is obtained through integration. The empirical results show that the stock market systemic risk index constructed in this paper can effectively identify important risk events within the sample period. In addition, compared with the benchmark model, the EEMD-LSTM model constructed in this paper shows a stronger early warning ability for systemic financial risks in the stock market.

The Role of Literacy in Creasing Awareness of Waste Management

This research aimed to analyze the role of literacy in increasing awareness of waste management. This research utilized a qualitative method. The results indicated that addressing waste management issues also requires the integration of technology. Digital media usage significantly influences the shift in individuals' mindsets. Enhancing waste literacy can be achieved through social media platforms. Educational initiatives can leverage various features provided by these platforms. Tailoring educational approaches to the age group of the target audience is crucial for effective information delivery. Merely providing education and knowledge is insufficient to cultivate self-awareness among individuals. It would be advantageous if education is complemented by tangible actions, such as community service, outreach programs, and training sessions. These activities should be customized to suit different age groups and environments.

Crisis2Sum: An Exploratory Study on Disaster Summarization from Multiple Streams

Automatic summarization of natural and human-made disaster events is an important area to increase situational awareness for human response organizations and disaster management. However, the incorporation of multiple data sources poses a challenge to current summarization systems, as the typically large document collections exceed the input limits of neural models. Additionally, Large Language Models (LLM) often omit key information present at different positions in long context inputs. Furthermore, disaster reporting requires fine-grained information content and therefore relaxes the restriction to high compression rates, resulting into rather long summaries. In this work, we study different extractive and LLM-based abstractive baselines and highlight shortcomings in present approaches. Our experimental results on the CrisisFACTS datasets show that LLM-based approaches tend to fail in generating long informative summaries. Taking these limitations into account, we propose a disaster summarization framework and introduce query-focused extensions, which demonstrate advantages and superior performance over the baseline methods.
