Social connection in long‐term care home residents: A review of research on health outcomes and strategies during COVID‐19

AbstractBackgroundThe infection control measures enacted to prevent COVID‐19 in long‐term care (LTC) homes have highlighted the important role of social connection in the wellbeing and care of people living in these settings. Yet, issues of loneliness and social isolation in LTC home residents pre‐date COVID‐19, as does the research to address them.MethodWe conducted a scoping review of published research that quantified the association of any aspect of social connection among LTC residents with mental health outcomes. We also sought studies of modifiable risk factors and interventions that identified strategies that could be implemented and adapted by LTC residents, families and staff during COVID‐19. We searched eight databases from inception to search date (July 2019), extracted data and conducted a narrative synthesis of evidence. We involved knowledge users representing LTC residents, families and staff in priority‐setting (defining the review questions), analyzing data, interpreting and contextualizing the results, and disseminating the findings. In this presentation, to further characterize the evidence, we compare the measures used in these studies to those identified from an ongoing systematic review of measures developed specifically to assess social connection in people living in LTC homes.ResultWe located 61 studies that reported the association between social connection and mental health outcomes, including depression; responsive behaviors; mood, affect, and emotions; anxiety; medication use; cognitive decline; and, others. We located 72 studies that informed 12 strategies for building and maintaining social connection during COVID‐19; some strategies represented fundamental aspects of resident care whereas others that would need to be considered in context with a LTC resident’s and home’s needs and circumstances.ConclusionOur review identifies a body of research on social connection in LTC that pre‐dates the COVID‐19 pandemic. The evidence points to quality of social connection for residents being associated with better mental health, and we identified strategies that may help to build and maintain social connection in this setting. We found that the studies assessed numerous aspects of social connection, however, only some used measures developed specifically for this population.

Navigating toward net zero by 2050: Drivers, barriers, and strategies for net zero carbon buildings in an emerging market

Net zero carbon buildings (NZCBs) are a promising solution for decarbonizing the built environment, addressing climate change, and enhancing the quality of life for building occupants. However, the uptake of NZCBs has been slow, and the feasibility remains unclear, especially in emerging markets. This paper seeks to examine the feasibility of NZCBs by analyzing the drivers, barriers, and strategies in Ghana, a typical emerging market. First, a thorough literature review was conducted. Then, comprehensive opinions on the feasibility of NZCBs were gathered through a survey and an in-depth panel discussion with major construction industry stakeholders. The study systematically identified key drivers and barriers, covering economic, legislative, skills and knowledge, industry, market, and cultural factors. Economic drivers were perceived as the most significant for promoting NZCBs, followed by the legislative drivers. Moreover, financial barriers were identified as critical factors hindering the adoption of NZCBs, followed by skill and knowledge barriers. Interestingly, this study identified that skill and knowledge barriers are more critical than legislative ones, which have been prioritized in many previous studies. Enhancing industry and public awareness, adequate building regulations and policies, and capacity building were identified as essential strategies to stimulate the adoption of NZCBs. A comprehensive framework of strategies for promoting NZCBs development was proposed. The study's findings could aid policymakers and stakeholders in better understanding the NZCB concept in order to formulate adequate decarbonization action plans for the built environment. Moreover, the study offers valuable guidance for further research to explore the net zero built environment field.

Bayesian-Based Hyperparameter Optimization of 1D-CNN for Structural Anomaly Detection.

With the rapid development of sensor technology, structural health monitoring data have tended to become more massive. Deep learning has advantages when handling big data, and has therefore been widely researched for diagnosing structural anomalies. However, for the diagnosis of different structural abnormalities, the model hyperparameters need to be adjusted according to different application scenarios, which is a complicated process. In this paper, a new strategy for building and optimizing 1D-CNN models is proposed that is suitable for diagnosing damage to different types of structure. This strategy involves optimizing hyperparameters with the Bayesian algorithm and improving model recognition accuracy using data fusion technology. Under the condition of sparse sensor measurement points, the entire structure is monitored, and the high-precision diagnosis of structural damage is performed. This method improves the applicability of the model to different structure detection scenarios, and avoids the shortcomings of traditional hyperparameter adjustment methods based on experience and subjectivity. In preliminary research on the simply supported beam test case, the efficient and accurate identification of parameter changes in small local elements was achieved. Furthermore, publicly available structural datasets were utilized to verify the robustness of the method, and a high identification accuracy rate of 99.85% was achieved. Compared with other methods described in the literature, this strategy shows significant advantages in terms of sensor occupancy rate, computational cost, and identification accuracy.

Implementation outcomes and strategies for delivering evidence-based hypertension interventions in lower-middle-income countries: Evidence from a multi-country consortium for hypertension control.

Guidance on contextually tailored implementation strategies for the prevention, treatment, and control of hypertension is limited in lower-middle income countries (Lower-MIC). To address this limitation, we compiled implementation strategies and accompanying outcomes of evidence-based hypertension interventions currently being implemented in five Lower-MIC. The Global Research on Implementation and Translation Science (GRIT) Coordinating Center (CC) (GRIT-CC) engaged its global network sites at Ghana, Guatemala, India, Kenya, and Vietnam. Purposively sampled implementation science experts completed an electronic survey assessing implementation outcomes, in addition to implementation strategies used in their ongoing hypertension interventions from among 73 strategies within the Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change (ERIC). Experts rated the strategies based on highest priority to their interventions. We analyzed the data by sorting implementation strategies utilized by sites into one of the nine domains in ERIC and summarized the data using frequencies, proportions, and means. Seventeen implementation experts (52.9% men) participated in the exercise. Of Proctor's implementation outcomes identified across sites, all outcomes except for appropriateness were broadly assessed by three or more countries. Overall, 59 out of 73 (81%) strategies were being utilized in the five countries. The highest priority implementation strategies utilized across all five countries focused on evaluative and iterative strategies (e.g., identification of context specific barriers and facilitators) to delivery of patient- and community-level interventions, while the lowest priority was use of financial and infrastructure change strategies. More capacity building strategies (developing stakeholder interrelationships, training and educating stakeholders, and supporting clinicians) were incorporated into interventions implemented in India and Vietnam than Ghana, Kenya, and Guatemala. Although robust implementation strategies are being used in Lower -MICs, there is minimum use of financial and infrastructure change strategies. Our study contributes to the growing literature that demonstrates the use of Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change (ERIC) implementation strategies to deliver evidence-based hypertension interventions in Lower-MICs and will inform future cross-country data harmonization activities in resource-constrained settings.

Improving the Indoor Environment through an Indoor Green Curtain System

People are spending more and more of their lives indoors, making thermal comfort and air quality essential factors for their health and well-being. The use of natural elements within indoor spaces can improve the indoor environment and air quality, but can also bring multiple health and well-being, psychological, cognitive, and behavioral benefits due to its biophilic effect. Indoor vertical greenery strategy in buildings can give these benefits to the building occupants. In this study, a prototype of a living green curtain is assessed to evaluate the benefits that may derive when used as a shading device. The analysis evaluated the performance of the green curtain prototype compared to the other two scenarios, no curtains (control module) and external blind. Temperature, relative humidity, air quality, and solar radiation were measured in the indoor environment. Results indicate that the green curtain module was cooler by 0–4 °C than the control module during the peak solar radiation hours, and the difference even reached up to 8 °C on hotter days. Due to the evapotranspiration effect, the green curtain recorded the highest daily average relative humidity of 67%. This study demonstrates the potential ability of a green curtain to improve air quality and thermal comfort.

The strategies and challenges of community foundations in community building: The making of cloakroom communities

AbstractIn a volatile, uncertain, and heterogeneous world, community philanthropic organizations play critical roles in community building. Nevertheless, few studies have examined the strategies of community philanthropic organizations in community building and the tensions they encounter in fluid communities. This study investigated four community foundations in highly mobile and diverse suburban communities and found that the strategies of community building involved highlighting the distinctiveness of locality, protecting the integrity of localities against the control of the metropolis, ensuring geographic representation of foundation leadership, and building an inclusive community identity that acknowledges diversity. Nevertheless, with the concern of alienating donors of dispersed interests, community‐building efforts have only created what Zygmunt Bauman calls the “cloakroom community,” a substitute for genuine communities, where people come together for a time, but their individual concerns are not blended into group interests, and collective actions to address community issues do not occur. This deters community foundations from effectively engaging local people and creating long‐lasting social solidarity.

High suicidality predicts overdose events among people with substance use disorder: A latent class analysis.

Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in the United States and continues to be a major public health concern. Suicide risk is highly prevalent among individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders (SUD) and mental health disorders, making them more prone to adverse substance use related outcomes including overdose. Identifying individuals with SUD who are suicidal, and therefore potentially most at risk of overdose, is an important step to address the synergistic epidemics of suicides and overdose fatalities in the United States. The current study assesses whether patterns of suicidality endorsement can indicate risk for substance use and overdose. Latent class analysis (LCA) was used to assess patterns of item level responses to the Concise Health Risk Tracking Self-Report (CHRT-SR), which measures thoughts and feelings associated with suicidal propensity. We used data from 2,541 participants with SUD who were enrolled across 8 randomized clinical trials in the National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network from 2012 to 2021. Characteristics of individuals in each class were assessed, and multivariable logistic regression was performed to examine class membership as a predictor of overdose. LCA was also used to analyze predictors of substance use days. Three classes were identified and discussed: Class (1) Minimal Suicidality, with low probabilities of endorsing each CHRT-SR construct; Class (2) Moderate Suicidality, with high probabilities of endorsing pessimism, helplessness, and lack of social support, but minimal endorsement of despair or suicidal thoughts; and Class (3) High Suicidality with high probabilities of endorsing all constructs. Individuals in the High Suicidality class comprise the highest proportions of males, Black/African American individuals, and those with a psychiatric history and baseline depression, as compared with the other two classes. Regression analysis revealed that those in the High Suicidality class are more likely to overdose as compared to those in the Minimal Suicidality class (p = 0.04). Suicidality is an essential factor to consider when building strategies to screen, identify, and address individuals at risk for overdose. The integration of detailed suicide assessment and suicide risk reduction is a potential solution to help prevent suicide and overdose among people with SUD.

Reimagining communities of care in the performing arts: A call for a community-based task-sharing approach to address the mental health needs of performing artists

Performing artists are known for playing a critical role in the cultural and intellectual richness and wellbeing of society. Additionally, whereas engaging in art and performance can offer a myriad of mental health benefits, mental health and substance abuse disorders are common in this industry yet significant barriers, such as stigma, financial constraints, and lack of relevant training, appear to negatively impact access to mental healthcare. Moreover, the profound changes and uncertainty in the performing arts sector throughout the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need to enhance systems of mental health support in this community. Although changing perceptions around mental health and increasing access to care are complex and multi-faceted, approaches from global mental health may offer novel solutions to promote greater access and equity to mental healthcare for performing artists. In particular, capacity building strategies, such as task-sharing, may help to facilitate both the identification of individuals in need of care, and the delivery of basic forms of support, through training of individuals working in the performing arts community. If adopted, task-sharing approaches in the performing arts, could lead to the introduction of new roles that performers can adopt, which in turn, may lead to new job categories within this industry, while still contributing to the sociocultural fabric of the arts. Efforts to engage performing artists in the co-design and adaptation of materials and intervention strategies will play a critical role in the translation of current evidence-based and evidence-informed interventions to contexts and cultures within the arts. Importantly, while certain aspects of the entertainment industry have long been associated with poor mental health, movements among artists and performers are calling for a change in culture. Integrating scalable mental health strategies into the spaces in which the performing arts take place, may offer a critical framework for reimagining mental health support within the arts community.

Caring Character Building Strategies For Nursing Students; Opinion Of Hospital And Nursing Education Leaders

Nursing students must be able to build caring character during the learning process. The caring character of students who have been awakened is very useful in the nursing service process after becoming a nurse. The problem that exists today is that there has not been a strong caring character in some nursing students. This will have a negative impact, namely the low quality of nursing graduates, especially in aspects of caring behavior . The low caring behavior of nurse graduates can result in low quality of service and patient satisfaction. This problem needs to be solved immediately, in the form of a strategy to build caring character for nursing students. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the right strategy to build the caring character of nursing students. The purpose of the study was to explore strategies to build caring characteristics of nursing students. This study used qualitative design. Data was obtained through structured interviews with 13 leaders of nursing in hospitals, and leaders of educational institutions . Data analysis using content analysis. The results of the study obtained three major themes of strategies for building caring character of nursing students, namely 1) integrated caring learning in the educational curriculum, 2) training and menthorship caring 3). Application of problem base learning and role play in student clinical learning. The conclusion obtained from this study is that the caring character of nursing students can be built through integrated learning design in the educational curriculum, training process and continuous assistance, and the application of practical learning methods in the form of problem base learning and role play. Advice for educational institutions is that it is necessary to strengthen the caring character of students as outlined in the curriculum, learning process and through continuous training and mentoring activities.

Manipulating nest architecture reveals three-dimensional building strategies and colony resilience in honeybees.

Form follows function throughout the development of an organism. This principle should apply beyond the organism to the nests they build, but empirical studies are lacking. Honeybees provide a uniquely suited system to study nest form and function throughout development because we can image the three-dimensional structure repeatedly and non-destructively. Here, we tracked nest-wide comb growth in six colonies over 45 days (control colonies) and found that colonies have a stereotypical process of development that maintains a spheroid nest shape. To experimentally test if nest structure is important for colony function, we shuffled the nests of an additional six colonies, weekly rearranging the comb positions and orientations (shuffled colonies). Surprisingly, we found no differences between control and shuffled colonies in multiple colony performance metrics-worker population, comb area, hive weight and nest temperature. However, using predictive modelling to examine how workers allocate comb to expand their nests, we show that shuffled colonies compensate for these disruptions by accounting for the three-dimensional structure to reconnect their nest. This suggests that nest architecture is more flexible than previously thought, and that superorganisms have mechanisms to compensate for drastic architectural perturbations and maintain colony function.

Evolution of Urban Resilience from a Multiscale Perspective: Evidence from Five Provinces in Northwest China

As a new idea of urban risk management, building resilient cities with the ability to resist, eliminate, and adapt to uncertain risks is of great importance to mitigate risk impacts and promote sustainable urban development. Based on the adaptive cycle model and the characteristics of an urban system, this study analyzes the resilience levels of cities, urban agglomerations, and provinces and their adaptive stages. The results show that (1) the comprehensive resilience of cities in the five provinces of northwest China is on the rise and that the differences between cities are gradually narrowing. The development stages of the urban adaptive cycle can be divided into six stages: the rapid exploitation stage, exploitation-conservation stage, stable conservation stage, conservation-release stage, development reorganization stage, and reorganization-exploitation stage. (2) The spatial distribution of the comprehensive resilience of urban agglomerations is “high in the southeast and low in the northwest,” and the development stage of the adaptive cycle is consistent with its central city or central region. (3) The level of resilience varies greatly among provinces, and the development stage of the adaptive cycle is equivalent to the average level of all cities in the province and is closely related to their respective development forces and urban problems. These findings can provide reference for policymakers to formulate scientific resilience building strategies to achieve regional sustainable development.

Comparing economic benefits of HVAC control strategies in grid-interactive residential buildings

Energy consumption in buildings continues to rise with increased deployment of energy-consuming equipment such as Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) amid a growing world economy. Renewable energy is projected to comprise a majority of the future electricity supply, but the intermittent nature of renewables means that consumption must respond to dynamic supply for optimal utilization. This paper proposes a novel HVAC control strategy for residential buildings using the adaptive comfort model, considering occupancy through probability and real-time information, and optimizing the HVAC schedule to reduce cost, maintain thermal comfort, and respond to the dynamic availability of renewable energy while being generalizable to different situations. To validate this approach, the Universal CPS Environment for Federation (UCEF) co-simulation platform is used to connect advanced building controls with the building energy simulation software EnergyPlus. Simulations are performed for a residential building in Sacramento, CA during a typical summer week. Economic impacts, energy consumption, and thermal comfort are analyzed for traditional, adaptive, and occupancy-based control strategies under demand-based, tiered, and fixed electric tariff systems. Simulation results show that occupancy consideration, adaptive thermal comfort, and optimization can reduce cost by 50.1 %, electricity consumption by 52.9 %, and discomfort by 56.2 % compared to traditional fixed setpoints. The ability of the proposed HVAC control strategy to shift energy consumption away from peak times under a demand-based tariff system is qualitatively analyzed and findings suggest that maximum load-shifting on a grid-scale is attained using occupancy consideration with optimized control and demand-based pricing. For individual residential buildings, similar economic benefits can be gained using the less-complex adaptive HVAC control strategy with existing tiered or simple electric tariff systems.

Green Building Implementation Challenge for Housing from Developer Perspective in Indonesia

<p><em>The purpose of this study is to examine the challenges of implementing green building concepts for residential buildings from the developer's point of view. Nowadays, housing provision in Indonesia highly depends on the property developer. Hence, the role of property developers in implementing green building concepts in residential buildings is incredibly significant. Data collection was conducted by sending questionnaires to various developers in Indonesia. The result shows that the main challenges in executing the green building concept are the lack of forceful regulations followed by a lack of market technology and training. In addition, during the implementation process, it was discovered that all developers had applied certain green building strategies, such as green area provision, site selection close to public facilities, natural lighting design, and ventilation design.</em></p>

Technology Interventions of Daylight for Deep Plan Building

Abstract: Daylight is important for buildings because it provides numerous benefits to the occupants and the building. Firstly, natural light is essential for visual comfort and productivity. Secondly, daylight is a source of energy and reduces the reliance on artificial lighting, which can lower energy costs and carbon emissions. Moreover, daylighting has been shown to positively impact human health and wellbeing by reducing stress and improving mood. However, deep plan buildings fail to receive natural light which hinders the productivity as well as the aesthetics of the building. This paper explores the importance of daylight in deep plan buildings, where spaces are located further from the perimeter walls and rely heavily on artificial lighting. Daylight has a significant impact on the quality of indoor environments, including visual comfort, energy efficiency, and occupant health and wellbeing. However, designing for daylight in deep plan buildings requires a specific set of considerations and strategies. The paper discusses these strategies, including the use of different technologies for introducing daylight in such buildings and presents case studies of successful daylighting in the same. The paper concludes that incorporating daylighting strategies in deep plan buildings is crucial to creating healthy and sustainable indoor environments.
