A 2-Day Postpartum CBT-Based Training for Nurses.

Public health nurses (PHNs) are often a first point of contact for postpartum individuals seeking mental health support, but report limited training related to mental health. To determine whether a two-day cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)-based training program focused on postpartum maternal mental health can improve PHN perceptions of their ability to deliver CBT techniques, their confidence working with distressed clients, and with managing client resistance to treatment recommendations. A convenience sample of 45 PHNs working in the Family Health Division of Niagara Region Public Health in Ontario, Canada were assessed before and after they received a two-day CBT-based training program. Before attending training, PHNs reported their current professional position, years of experience working in public health, and any previous mental health training. Their confidence in delivering CBT techniques, working with distressed clients, and with managing client resistance to treatment recommendations was assessed pre- and post-training. Participants also rated their satisfaction with the training. Statistically significant improvements were seen in confidence using CBT techniques, and in supporting and managing distressed or resistant clients. The two-day training was highly rated overall by participants. Medium to large effect sizes were found for changes in confidence-related questions. Providing PHNs with brief CBT-based mental health-related training can increase their confidence in this aspect of their practice, and could potentially improve the quality of care they provide.

Impact of Gender-Affirming Surgery on Craniofacial Exposure for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Training: A Preliminary, Single-Institution Study

Objective: Current available plastic surgery positions in craniofacial surgery are not commensurate with the growing number of trained plastic surgery residents and fellows interested in the field. Despite this, there is growing demand for surgery in other areas of the craniofacial field, such as facial gender-affirming surgery (GAS), in which academic plastic surgery programs can increase resident and fellow case exposure. The present study sought to characterize the increase in craniofacial surgery exposure with the introduction of a GAS rotation among plastic surgery residents at one academic medical center. Methods: A single-center retrospective review of ten plastic surgery resident case logs between 2013 and 2021 was carried out. Case logs were evaluated for case frequency per year in craniofacial surgery and breast reconstruction surgery, which was used as a control. Case frequency was compared before and after the introduction of the GAS rotation in 2017. Results: Craniofacial surgery exposure increased from an average of 26 to 45 cases per resident per year after the introduction of a GAS rotation and overall increased from 17 to 29 cases per year. The average breast reconstruction caseload remained similar at the same time, from an average of 37 to 36 cases per year per resident. Conclusions: The introduction of a GAS rotation at one institution increased craniofacial surgery exposure for plastic surgery residents. Increasing craniofacial surgery exposure is crucial in the competitive landscape for job opportunities, further increasing resident exposure to the transgender and gender-diverse population, and expanding care for this patient population.

The Construction and Application of a Digital Coal Seam for Shearer Autonomous Navigation Cutting.

Accurately obtaining the geological characteristic digital model of a coal seam and surrounding rock in front of a fully mechanized mining face is one of the key technologies for automatic and continuous coal mining operation to realize an intelligent unmanned working face. The research on how to establish accurate and reliable coal seam digital models is a hot topic and technical bottleneck in the field of intelligent coal mining. This paper puts forward a construction method and dynamic update mechanism for a digital model of coal seam autonomous cutting by a coal mining machine, and verifies its effectiveness in experiments. Based on the interpolation model of drilling data, a fine coal seam digital model was established according to the results of geological statistical inversion, which overcomes the shortcomings of an insufficient lateral resolution of lithology and physical properties in a traditional geological model and can accurately depict the distribution trend of coal seams. By utilizing the numerical derivation of surrounding rock mining and geological SLAM advanced exploration, the coal seam digital model was modified to achieve a dynamic updating and optimization of the model, providing an accurate geological information guarantee for intelligent unmanned coal mining. Based on the model, it is possible to obtain the boundary and inclination information of the coal seam profile, and provide strategies for adjusting the height of the coal mining machine drum at the current position, achieving precise control of the automatic height adjustment of the coal mining machine.

International political aspects of OPEC+ activities in the context of energy diplomacy of Russia and Saudi Arabia before and after the start of the special military operation

The growing interstate rivalry sweeps more and more areas of international relations, including energy issues. While the ‘traditional’ oil and gas exporters are trying to maintain or even strengthen their current positions, new players in the oil and gas market are trying to challenge the status quo. The changing situation on the oil market due to the ‘price war’ between the United States and OPEC countries serves as a clear manifestation of this trend and encourages the OPEC members to coordinate their policies more closely with external partners. This paper aims to identify the prerequisites and assess the dynamics of cooperation between Russia and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) within the OPEC+ framework. The first section of the paper examines the logic behind the OPEC+ agreement in the context of the development of energy cooperation between the Russian Federation and the KSA before the outbreak of the Ukrainian crisis. The authors note that the new format demonstrated stability within the first years of its existence and generated closer cooperation between the hydrocarbon exporting countries. The second section examines the development of OPEC+ in the face of increased geopolitical pressure from the United States and its allies. The authors conclude that the efforts of Washington and oil importing countries to undermine energy cooperation within the OPEC+ format have not succeeded, on the contrary the international stance of the group members has only strengthened. In conclusion, the authors emphasize that OPEC+ not only contributes to the stability of energy prices, but also brings tangible political benefits to its members. At the same time, according to the authors, the future of this format largely depends on the dynamics of international environment and, particularly, on the scale of the US-Russian confrontation.

Enhancing quantitative capacity for the health sector in post-Ebola Liberia, a tracer study of a locally developed and owned coding and biostatistics program

Background Despite the demonstrated value of quantitative research in understanding and responding to public health events, analytics capability is not always prioritized or available in settings that would greatly benefit from it. In Liberia, there are no university degree-granting programs in biostatistics or mathematical modeling, promoting dependence on external technical assistance. To address the gap, a local NGO, Quantitative-Data for Decision-Making (Q4D), was founded to enhance capacity and opportunities for analyzing quantitative data among Liberians. Methods To understand the relevance, utility, and impact of the skills being taught at Q4D, a tracer study was undertaken with current and former students. Participants completed an online survey that evaluated how often and in what ways they are applying course skills, as well as any personal or professional advancement they have attributed to their learning of coding and/or biostatistics through the program. Results Among 43 participants, 81% reported a high level of confidence in independently applying skills learned through Q4D classes in their jobs and/or academic programs. Most participants (81%) responded that they were actively demonstrating the skills they acquired; 74% were teaching the skills to others. Among the 83% of employed participants who reported using the skills currently in their jobs, 56% rated the skills they learned as very or extremely useful in their current positions. Several students attributed salary increments, consultancy opportunities, and scholarships to the skills gained through the program. Conclusions Program skills are being applied by students employed in health-related sectors, suggesting that the training content is relevant and useful for addressing some of the workforce’s analysis needs. Moreover, skills built through the program have positively impacted students by preparing them with the skills required for additional employment and training opportunities to advance in-country health research capacity and reduce inequities.

The work is devoted to assessing the perception of scientific and practical conferences by secondary medical professionals as one of the forms of continuing professional education based on the analysis of the results of a survey of 67 study participants, including 9 main, 31 senior, 27 procedural and ward nurses. The average age of the respondents who voluntarily filled out the questionnaires was 48.2±2.24 years, the total length of service was 28.1±5.7 years, and the length of service in the current position was 9.8±3.5 years. Everyone was satisfied with the quality, the form of presentation, the novelty of the information, noted the high methodological level, thorough planning and strict compliance with the regulations.Most of the study participants noted the need for electronic resources for continuing medical education, but noted the importance of face-to-face conferences, including for the exchange of experience.

ASEAN Defence Ministers MeetingPlus: Institutional structure, specific features, and evolution (2010–2022)

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is one of the key multilateral structures in Asia-Pacific. Throughout its history, the organization has established a system of external partnerships. In 2010, a specific security-related dialogue format has been introduced into this system, — the ASEAN Defence Ministers Meeting-Plus (ADMM-Plus). In order to provide a better understanding of the legal nature of the ADMM-Plus as an international grouping, and to discuss the dynamics of its evolution, as well as the practical results of its work, this paper examines the Meeting’s activities in the recent years (2010 to 2022) and identifies the stages of its institutional development. The author notes that, unlike other similar fora, ADMM-Plus has a strictly limited number of participants. It could seem counterproductive, however, both ASEAN and its dialogue partners keep up to the closed nature of the grouping, beware of the potential contradictionsincaseofitsexpansion.Theauthoralsoconductsthediscourse analysis of the ADMM-Plus documents and member statements, highlighting +-the views of the participants and identifying the current international positioning of the forum. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes that, in the context of the fundamental changes in the world order, ASEAN has proven its ability to control the sensitive agenda of the ADMM-Plus, and stays committed to its principles of multi-faceted policy. At the same time, the affinity of Russian and ASEAN approaches towards the development of Asia-Pacific is displayed. While other dialogue partners, primarily the United States and China, are pressurising ASEAN in order to ‘win over’ the Southeast Asian countries to their side, Russia consistently promotes an equal, practice-oriented dialogue, and adheres to the principles of non-interference in internal affairs and in local conflicts. The author concludes that, in spite of the low-profile practical achievements of the ADMM-Plus, the Meeting remains suitable for all its participants, as the main effect of its activity represents the maintenance of contacts and negotiations in the defence area in the face of the new regional security challenges.

Impact of primary dressings on healing of venous leg ulcers: a French cohort study from the healthcare insurance database.

Multicomponent bandages (MCBs) are recommended by the French Authority for Health (Haute Autorité de Santé) as first-line treatment for venous leg ulcers (VLUs). A first analysis of the data collected from the French administrative healthcare database (Système National des Données de Santé (SNDS)) on 25,255 patients with a VLU supported superiority of MCBs versus short stretch bandages when considering the healing outcomes and costs associated with closure of these wounds. The aim of this study was to assess how beneficial the primary dressing (technology lipido-colloid nano-oligosaccharide factor (TLC NOSF) or control dressing group (CDG)) could be, when used in combination with MCBs in the treatment of VLUs. Data from the SNDS were collected for patients meeting the following inclusion criteria: treatment for a VLU with MCBs and with the same dressing type (TLC-NOSF or CDG) during the whole treatment period. Healing outcomes were documented on the global cohorts and propensity score-matched cohorts. The mean healthcare cost and the ecological impact were calculated for those patients healed within the study period. In total, 12,507 patients met the criteria for treatment with both MCBs and TLC-NOSF dressings (n=1134) versus MCBs and CDG (n=11,373); with 1134 and 2268 patients per group following propensity score matching. Healing outcomes were favourable for the TLC-NOSF group in the global cohort and were enhanced in the propensity score-matched cohorts. At every point of the analysis, the adjusted healing rates were significantly higher in the TLC-NOSF group than in the CDG group (p<0.001). In the propensity score-matched cohorts (n=3402), the healing rate at three months was 52% in the TLC-NOSF group versus 37% in the CDG group (p<0.001). The median healing time was 87 days versus 125.5 days in the TLC-NOSF and CDG groups, respectively (p<0.0001). TLC-NOSF dressings significantly reduced the average treatment cost per healed ulcer (€2099) by 23.7% compared with dressings without TLC-NOSF (€2751) (p<0.001), as well as the resources used. This SNDS analysis confirms, in the largest real-life study performed in VLU management, the superiority of the TLC-NOSF dressings versus those not impregnated with the NOSF compound. Better clinical outcomes associated with cost savings and a positive ecological impact support the combination of MCBs and TLC-NOSF dressings and should be considered as an optimal standard of care for the global management of VLUs. These outcomes reinforce the current positions of the international guidelines on the use of NOSF impregnated dressings (UrgoStart range; Laboratoires Urgo, France) in this pathology.

Prescribed-Time Network-Based Deployment of Nonlinear Multiagent Systems: A Discrete-Space PDE Method.

This article attempts to design the prescribed-time time-varying deployment schemes for first-order and second-order nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs). We assume that all agents can obtain the information of their current and final relative positions with their neighbors, and the final absolute velocities (as well as their current and final relative velocities, the final absolute accelerations for the second-order MASs) through a communication network, whereas two boundary agents are able to obtain their current and final absolute positions (as well as their current and final absolute velocities for the second-order MASs). The neighbor relationship of all agents is described by a spatial variable and two static-feedback controllers are introduced, which can be expressed as a second-order space difference of the spatial variable. Then, the deployment of MASs can be transformed into the stabilization of discrete-space partial differential equation (PDE) systems. Three virtual agents are introduced to constitute the Dirchlet and Neumann boundary conditions. Several algebraic inequality criteria are derived to guarantee that the prescribed-time time-varying deployment can be achieved within a prescribed time under the Dirchlet and mixed boundary conditions. Unlike the published results, our results are derived based on the discrete-space PDE systems instead of continuous-space PDE systems, which is consistent with the discrete spatial distribution of agents. Finally, two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of our results.

The influencing factors of nurses' job engagement in tertiary, A grade hospitals in East China: A cross-sectional study.

To explore the effects of demographic characteristics, mental workload, and Adversity quotient (AQ) on the job engagement of nurses in East China. A quantitative and cross-sectional study. The survey collected questionnaire data on mental workload, adversity quotient, and job engagement from 473 nurses selected working in 12 Grade-A tertiary hospitals based on informed consent in East China between July 2020 and March 2021. The total score of mental workload was 78.24 ± 11.65, the adversity quotient score was 128.26 ± 15.84, job engagement score was 42.32 ± 7.79. Job engagement has a remarkable positive correlation with adversity quotient (r = 0.613, p<0.001), and a negative correlation with mental workload (r = -0.499, p<0.001). Mental workload has an apparent negative correlation with adversity quotient (r = -0.291, p<0.001). Labor-management relationship with current organization, department, study to get a degree or diploma in spare time, attitude towards a career in Nursing, attitude towards the current career position, satisfaction with marriage, social support, load feelings, self-assessment, control, and endurance could predict 70.9% of job engagement of nurses. The mental workload of nurses was higher, the AQ was at a medium level, and the job engagement of nurses was also slightly higher. Labor-management relationship with current organization, department, study to get a degree or diploma in spare time, attitude towards a career in Nursing, attitude towards the current career position, satisfaction with marriage, social support, load feelings, self-assessment, control, and endurance had predictive effects on nurses' job engagement. It is necessary to take a variety of measures according to the social-demographic characteristics, improve the adversity quotient, and evaluate the mental workload correctly, to improve the job engagement of nurses. The epidemic situation and other emergencies make the work pressure of nurses in Grade-A tertiary hospitals increase suddenly. It should pay attention to the influence of different demographic factors, and pay attention to the correct guidance of work demand-mental workload, as well as the cultivation, and improvement of job resource-AQ, which can improve the job engagement of nurses to some extent. No patient or public contribution.

Assessment of Indonesia’s Position on the Net Zero Emission

Abstract The research aims to answer the questions of Indonesia’s current position and condition concerning NZE compared to other countries globally. The research design employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology, adhering to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol, which shows Indonesia’s absence of a national NZE strategy in the face of international imperatives calling for country-specific strategies. While multiple NZE roadmaps exist in Indonesia, an official roadmap tailored for national purposes is imperative. Environmental degradation tends to intensify during the initial phases of economic development. However, as per capita income exceeds a certain threshold, this degradation tends to diminish with increasing income levels. It is crucial to recognize that low-income countries, including Indonesia, may face significant challenges during the transition. This underscores the importance of global and national collaboration to address these issues effectively. There is a pressing need for establishing or formalizing an institution specifically dedicated to charting the roadmap for achieving NZE in Indonesia. Ultimately, it is essential to prioritize both energy security and affordability as overarching goals while continuing to advance sustainable energy initiatives.

Parameter identification of thermoelectric modules using enhanced slime mould algorithm (ESMA)

This paper sets pioneering research which investigates the parametric identification of thermoelectric modules (TEMs) through the employment of enhanced slime mould algorithm (ESMA). The proposed method incorporates a pair of modifications to the standard slime mould algorithm (SMA). Primary modification encloses computation of random average position between the slimes' current individual position and best individual position towards resolution of local optima issue. Subsequent modification then involves substitution of an exponential function to the existing tangent hyperbolic function within formula p of the standard SMA in enabling improved probability variants via the selection of updated equations. Competency of the proposed algorithm in generating the optimal parameters for TEMs was appraised based on 21 benchmarked design parameters, following the objective of root mean square error (RMSE) minimization between the temperature of both actual and estimated models. Acquired results which demonstrate lower values of RMSE and parameter deviation index against the standard SMA and other preceding algorithms such as particle swarm optimization, sine cosine algorithm, moth flame optimizer and ant lion optimizer ultimately verified ESMA’s efficacy as an effective approach for accurate model identification.

Bioactive Natural Leads and Traditional Herbal Plants in the Management of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: A Brief Review

: Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic relapsing disorder that causes chronic inflammation and ulcers in the GIT. Depending upon the location, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease come under IBD. The exact etiology of IBD is still unknown. Over 8 lakhs of people were affected by inflammatory disease yearly, and the death rate increased daily. Depending upon the severity of the disease, JAK inhibitors, anti-TNF agents, and immunosuppressants can be used to manage ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. However, these treatments have been associated with harmful adverse effects, which cannot be ignored. To treat inflammatory diseases safely, various herbal medicines and their bioactive are preferred as game changers. Recently, the effectiveness of herbal plants has been recommended as the treatment against IBD, as shown by various in vivo models and clinical trials. The various herbal plants reported in the literature include gallic acid, lupeol, and curcumin aloe vera. This review focused on medicinal plants' anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-ulcer properties. Over 1.2 million healthcare practitioners are using herbal bioactive and have the advantages of lower side effects. Therefore, it is estimated that in Europe, the demand for plant-based products/formulations has risen by millions in 2020, showing the current position of herbal-based products in consumer health awareness.

A New Member of BRICS — Egypt

The article analyzes the political, economic and cultural development of Egypt over several millennia. It is claimed that Egypt is an ancient civilization, the «heart» of the Arab world and a recognized regional leader. The author explores the history of various state entities that existed on the territory of modern Egypt in the era of the Ancient World, Antiquity, the Middle Ages and Modern times. The emphasis is consistently placed on the rule of the pharaohs, Egypt’s presence in the Persian and especially the Greco-Roman world, the periods of the Arab conquest, Ottoman and British rule, the functioning of the independent Kingdom of Egypt and the Arab Republic of Egypt that succeeded it in 1953. The article contains a detailed overview of key events in the country’s internal life over the past 70 years, as well as Cairo’s activities in the international arena, including participation in the Arab-Israeli wars, relations with global and regional actors in the second half of the XX – early XXI centuries, the current position of the state as one of the leaders of the African continent. It is indicated that Egypt ranks first in Africa in terms of GDP, third in terms of population, has serious scientific and technical potential and advanced financial system by regional standards, actively attracts foreign investment and new technologies. In the field of foreign policy, Egypt, while maintaining relations with Western powers, is intensely cooperating with new centers of power, including Russia. The author concludes that today the Arab Republic of Egypt is a powerful regional actor that is diversifying its foreign policy and economic ties, as reflected by the country’s entry into the BRICS.

The UK NHS cervical screening information leaflet: discourse, purpose and potential for change

Background: Cervical cancer screening prevents unnecessary deaths, yet rates of attendance have been dropping in the United Kingdom. Leaflets communicate screening information in invites to everyone eligible to attend. However, these information leaflets are known to be hard to understand and inaccessible. Aim: To understand how cervical screening is constructed in information leaflets and how this might impact engagement with screening programmes. Method: Discourse analysis of the current UK information leaflet, and a version redesigned with a public and patient involvement group. Result: The current leaflet uses discourses of neutrality and patient autonomy, with design akin to scientific texts. The redesigned leaflet presents a simplified, step-by-step guide to screening that aims to motivate and persuade readers. Discussion: The current information leaflet positions intended audiences as rational agents who have responsibility to make a choice to attend screening based on scientific information. The public’s redesign positions the state as responsible for simplifying and convincing people to attend screening. The disjuncture may be due to different underlying ideologies – neoliberalism versus ‘welfarism’. Conclusion: Shifting the current discourse to simplified and clearer language which emphasises choice in the process could help people make an informed decision to engage in screening.

DIGITAL COMPETENCE OF STUDENTS AS A FACTOR OF THE FORMATION OF SOCIO-POLITICAL ATTITUDES

In the presented article, the authors consider the political and ideological intentions of the student youth associated with the activation of the network environment in order to predict the socio-political sustainability of civil society and assess possible risks. The process of political socialization of young people has undergone serious transformations in recent years: with the advent of new technologies, the forms of political activity and interaction have changed, the geopolitical situation has caused the activation of socio-political and patriotic movements. This led to a gradual transition even of the early stages of political socialization from a family environment to a social network environment. The changes also affected the processes of formation of civic culture, which are closely related to political socialization. The picture of the future of Russian society depends on how this has affected the specifics of the political worldview of students who are deeply immersed in the online environment. Based on the data of the All-Russian sociological research, an assessment was made of the dependence of the vector of socio-political attitudes of student youth on the level of their digital competence and network activity. As the analysis showed, students with increased network activity and developed digital competencies also have a great potential for dissatisfaction compared to a group of less digitalized students. Given the demand for labor personnel with skills to work in the digital environment, there is a need to take steps to reduce possible risks and channel them into positive forms of manifestation, since the current positioning of student youth can contribute to the growth of tension in society.
