The interactivity and independence of Recovery challenges and coping strategies for ICU survivors and their caregivers: a systematic review and Meta-synthesis

BackgroundThe post-ICU home recovery period requires patients and caregivers to confront recovery challenges and adopt coping strategies as a family dyad, necessitating effective dyadic interaction patterns. Existing qualitative research shows that the dyads face interactive or independent challenges and employs varying coping strategies, which may include strong communication or, conversely, avoidance. However, a single qualitative study alone might offer limited generalizability, and there is a lack of broader, more nuanced understanding about the recovery challenge and copings among ICU survivors and caregivers. This meta-synthesis aims to figure out the interactivity and independence of challenges and coping strategies during the recovery process for ICU survivors and caregivers.MethodsThis is a meta-synthesis of qualitative studies, which was guided by the Stress and Coping Framework. We systematically reviewed six electronic databases, including PubMed, Medline, the Cochrane Library, CINAHL, PsycArticles, and PsycInfo, for relevant qualitative studies published from inception to January, 2024. We utilized a content analysis approach for data analysis. Presentation of this synthesis adhered to the PRISMA guideline and the ENTREQ guideline.ResultsAfter full-text screening, 49 studies were included. Four themes with 16 sub-themes emerged from this synthesis including, interactivity of recovery challenges for ICU survivors and caregivers (subthemes: Life was turned upside down, Situational overstrain, Isolation without compassion, Empowerment conflicts, Marginalized support), independence of recovery challenges for ICU survivors and caregivers (subthemes: Recovery means silent suffering, Gap in memory, Sacrificing to caregiving), interactivity of recovery coping strategies for ICU survivors and caregivers (subthemes: Reorientation of mindset, Cultivating inner power, Sharing burden with an open-ear, Going through thick and thin together, Negotiating care level), and independence of recovery coping strategies for ICU survivors and caregivers (subthemes: Wearing a faked smile, Developing daily routine, Seeking respite).ConclusionsThe findings suggest that ICU survivors and caregivers experience overlapping yet distinct challenges during recovery, often involving shared coping strategies, alongside a need for individual space. These results support the presence of both interactivity and independence in recovery challenges and coping strategies for ICU survivors and their caregivers. Therefore, we call for future dyadic or family interventions to target both ICU survivors and caregivers, taking advantage of their interactivity and desire for gradual independence, so that fostered individualized coping strategies adapted to flexible contexts.

The role of chinese culture and strategic orientation in enhancing competitive advantage and firm performance in Indonesian chinese family companies

Chinese culture plays an important role in shaping the dynamics of family businesses in Indonesia, especially in the context of increasingly intense business competition. This study aims to address gaps in understanding the influence of Chinese culture, including guanxi culture, Confucian inheritance, and the succession process, as well as strategic orientation, namely entrepreneurial orientation and market orientation, on firm performance, with competitive advantage as a mediating variable. The research method used in this study is a quantitative method with a data analysis approach using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Data were collected through surveys distributed to 232 Chinese family businesses in Bekasi and DKI Jakarta. The sample was selected using a non-probability sampling technique with a purposive sampling approach, where companies were chosen based on certain criteria, such as family structure, years of operation, and family member involvement in management. The data collection instrument consisted of structured questionnaires containing questions about corporate culture, strategic orientation, competitive advantage, and firm performance. The results of the study show that competitive advantage significantly mediates the influence of the succession process, entrepreneurial orientation, and market orientation on firm performance. However, guanxi culture and Confucian inheritance do not show a significant influence on firm performance, either directly or through competitive advantage. These findings contribute theoretically with five novel models related to the relationship between Chinese culture, strategic orientation, and firm performance in Indonesia. The implications of this study suggest that Chinese family businesses need to focus more on innovation, market adaptability, and succession management to maintain competitiveness and enhance business performance, while traditional values such as guanxi and Confucianism may require further adaptation to remain relevant in the modern business context.

Assessment of UK Heavy Goods Vehicle drivers' lifestyle behaviours: a cross-sectional study.

Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) drivers face difficult working conditions, promoting unhealthy lifestyle behaviours which are associated with an elevated prevalence of long-term health conditions. 109 drivers across the UK completed an online survey investigating differences in lifestyle behaviours between drivers with (N = 54) and without obesity (N = 55), including differences on work and non-workdays using an exploratory data analysis approach. Drivers with obesity (49.6%) perceived more barriers to healthy eating and being active than drivers without obesity. Drivers with obesity reported choosing more unhealthy options as snacks, ate more often at fast-food chains, and fewer fulfilled the physical activity guidelines. Additionally, the two groups differed regarding food and beverage choices on work and non-workdays. HGV drivers with obesity exhibit various dietary and physical activity behaviours associated with overnutrition and poor cardiometabolic health.

From viral assembly to host interaction: AFM's contributions to virology.

Viruses represent a diverse pool of obligate parasites that infect virtually every known organism, as such, their study is incredibly valuable for a range of fields including public health, medicine, agriculture, and ecology, and the development of biomedical technologies. Having evolved over millions of years, each virus has a unique and often complicated biology, that must be characterized on a case-by-case basis, even between strains of the same taxon. Owing to its nanoscale spatial resolution, atomic force microscopy (AFM) represents a powerful tool for exploring virus biology, including structural features, kinetics of binding to host cell ligands, virion self-assembly, and budding behaviors. Through the availability of numerous chemistries and advances in imaging modes, AFM is able to explore the complex web of host-virus interactions and life-cycle at a single virus level, exploring features at the level of individual bonds and molecules. Due to the wide array of techniques developed and data analysis approaches available, AFM can provide information that cannot be furnished by other modalities, especially at a single virus level. Here, we highlight the unique methods and information that can be obtained through the use of AFM, demonstrating both its utility and versatility in the study of viruses. As the technology continues to rapidly evolve, AFM is likely to remain an integral part of research, providing unique and important insight into many aspects of virology.

A Comparative Study on the Destinations of Graduates from Sino-Foreign Cooperation in Running Schools

China-foreign cooperation in higher education is becoming more popular due to the rapid development of globalization and information technology in China. It is now a significant method of cultivating talents with an international perspective and the ability to communicate across cultures. The question of the destinations of graduates of Sino-Foreign co-operative education programs has also become a growing concern. This paper investigates the fundamental causes by comparing and analyzing the foreign study rate, the domestic advancement rate, and the direct employment rate of the graduates of Chinese-foreign cooperative education institutions and Chinese-foreign cooperative education projects. This study adopts a blend of quantitative and qualitative approaches of case study and data analysis, collects and collates relevant data on the destinations of graduates of Chinese-foreign cooperative universities over the past few years, quantitatively analyses the data, and finally analyses in-depth the specific phenomena in conjunction with cases. This trend reflects the advantages of Sino-Foreign cooperation in providing international education resources and facilitating further studies. The Sino-Foreign co-operation mode provides students with a broader international perspective and channels for further studies, but problems such as uneven teaching quality and insufficient competitiveness in the job market still require attention.

Role of Teacher’s Feedback in Master’s Level Thesis Writing

This study explores the pivotal role of teacher’s feedback and guidance in facilitating the accomplishment of thesis writing, identifying and analyzing common benefits or challenges faced by masters level students incorporating teacher feedback into their thesis writingprocess. This study is employed based on qualitative research principles, using a narrative inquiry approach. For this, I collected the data taking unstructured interview with the three purposively selected students, involved in Masters level thesis writing from TribhuvanUniversity (TU) affiliated universities. The collected information was thematically analyzed and interpreted using inductive approach of data analysis. The findings of the study reveal that the teacher feedback on the completion of the master’s thesis assumes many-sided traits. First, it greatly enhances the students’ academic writing skills by providing them with definite and workable guidelines on improving their writing skills. These include feedback on structure, coherence, argumentation, and proper use of academic language—all prime necessities for writing a good quality thesis. Second, teacher feedback enables knowledge acquisition through social interaction. This is usually followed by feedback discussion between the teacher and the learner, whereby learners can clarify their understanding of difficult concepts or get guidelines pertaining to the research methodology or even fine-tune ideas. Such interaction not only helps in the acquisition of knowledge but also in developing critical thinking skills. Thirdly, the research showed that teacher feedback begets self-invention—a process wherein learners began to believe more in themselves, and their sense of academic identity became stronger.This is significant in the context of writing a thesis, where independent research by students is expected, and they are supposed to add original ideas in the subject area. This research finally concludes that the relationship between the teacher and the student during the thesis writing process is, in itself, one of transformation. It is not only the quality of the thesis that is affected by this bond, but it has a telling effect on the overall academic and personal growth of the student. Teachers give constructive feedback, thus influencing the waya student approaches learning, research, and writing. Indeed, the findings of this study point to the importance of the nature of the communicative relationship between the teacher and student, and it is suggested that institutions be aware of the necessity of having a context that fosters positive, supportive relationships between students and their supervisors.

Balancing power and growth in start-ups: an investigation of founder control, board size, and fundraising efficiency

Purpose The purpose of this study is to scrutinize the relationship between the founder’s control level over the startup and the startup’s board size on fundraising efficiency, in addition to examining how these factors are influenced by different resource combinations that the startup attracts. Design/methodology/approach A sample of 1356 firm-year observations is collected from both the startup database of Business Next Media Corp. in Taiwan and the Company Registration and Business Registration Database of Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs’ Department of Commerce. The panel data analytic approach with fixed effect is used for hypothesis testing. Findings The founder’s shareholding negatively correlates with fundraising efficiency; such a negative relationship can be alleviated by incorporating foreign investors. The board size positively correlates with fundraising efficiency; such a positive relationship can be mitigated by the inclusion of external corporate directors. Originality/value While a conventional understanding posits that startups with diverse, multiplex and symmetrical boards can rapidly construct a diverse alliance portfolio, henceforth always being beneficial to growth, this research challenges this notion by probing the possible adverse effects of having an excessive number of outside corporate directors on a startup’s fundraising efficiency.

The Winter Foehn Footprint Across McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica Using a Satellite‐Derived Data Set‐AntAir v1.0

AbstractContinental‐scale mosaics of satellite‐based surface brightness temperature from thermal infrared band measurements and derived near‐surface air temperatures from geostatistical modeling provide new opportunities for understanding wintertime Foehn wind warming and its potential impacts on the valley floor warming. We have detected and assessed Foehn signatures using a combined data analysis approach from previously developed and validated Antarctic‐wide near‐surface Air temperature data set (AntAir), automatic weather stations from the McMurdo Dry Valleys, and regional climate model simulations at 10 km spatial grid resolution. Self‐organizing maps and data compositing methods on regional climate model outputs provided meteorological context for the AntAir‐derived surface climate information. We conclude that AntAir is suitable for surface climatological analyses and improvements are underway to enhance the spatial resolution to sub‐kilometer grid scales. Finally, by applying a Foehn detection algorithm over 13 years, we present the spatial climatological footprints of Foehn‐induced warming across the Dry Valleys of Antarctica for the first time over the austral winters.

The Reluctance of Member States in Implementation of the African Court of Human and Peoples’s Rights Decisions: Experience from Rwanda and Tanzania

It is trite understanding by almost all human rights lawyers that under International Human Rights Law, once a state ratifies a treaty and becomes party to the said international instrument; such a State is under obligations to promote; respect, protect and fulfil human rights. However, reports show that only one State has fully complied with the Court’s decision; some partially but many States against which judgments have been pronounced have not shown any endeavour to heed to the court’s decisions which is centrally to Article 30 of the Protocol. This study focuses on the reluctance of member States to the Protocol as among the factors that impedes implementation and compliance with the decisions and judgements of the Court as exemplified by Tanzania and Rwanda. Objectively, the research was centred on assessing the extent to which member States of the ACHPR comply with international legal commitments recalling the decisions and judgments of the Court with reference to Tanzania and Rwanda. The study employed qualitative research approach whereby 21 interview from the Office of Attorney General, Judiciary, Tanganyika Law Society, Legal and Human Rights Centre, Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, Legislature, and Law Reform Commission was conducted to collect primary. The data collected was subsequently analyzed qualitatively through narrative data analysis approach where the research question was affirmatively concluded. The findings underscore the necessity of member States to change their habit of being reluctant on implementation and compliance with the Court’s decisions and judgment in order to fulfil the legal accountability and enhance justice within the region. The study recommends that in order to effectively implement Court’s orders, member states must refrain from reluctance on heeding to what the Court has decided.

Investigating relationships between ridesourcing and public transit using big data analysis and nonlinear machine learning: A case study of Shanghai, China

Ridesourcing has transformed the landscape of passenger transportation systems in many cities worldwide, but whether it competes with or complements public transport (PT) is still debated, and the literature is limited. Therefore, this study aims to address this knowledge gap by measuring the relationships between the two systems and examining their determinants using a multisource big data analysis and nonlinear machine learning approach, with Shanghai, China, as the study case. First, we used the observed ridesourcing data in Shanghai to compute the fastest PT alternative for each ridesourcing trip based on the Amap open platform and subsequently compared the travel patterns (i.e., distance, duration, and generalized cost) of the two systems. Second, we propose a technical framework that considers the spatiotemporal availability and generalized cost acceptability of PT services, as well as the inclusivity of ridesourcing services, to accurately classify and identify the relationship between ridesourcing and PT systems. Finally, we explored the importance of four types of determinants, namely, ridesourcing characteristics, PT service, built environment, and weather, and their nonlinear effects on different relationships based on extreme gradient boosting and Shapley additive explanations. Our results show that the fastest PT alternative involves an average travel distance, generalized travel time, and generalized cost that are 1.16, 2.13, and 1.15 times greater, respectively, than those of ridesourcing. Competitive trips account for 36% of urban areas but only 16% in the suburbs. Furthermore, more than 70% and 10% of the ridesourcing trips in suburban areas are used to complement and integrate PT, respectively. The nonlinear machine learning framework identified the top three determinants of integration as travel cost, distance to the CBD, and travel time. Notably, determinants such as the distance to the CBD and temperature have nonlinear effects on these relationships. These findings offer valuable insights for designing multimodal transportation options that integrate the benefits of ridesourcing and PT.

Identification of Cancer Stem Cell (CSC)-Associated Genes, Prognostic Value, and Candidate Drugs as Modulators of CSC-Associated Signaling in Carcinomas Through a Multiomics Data Analysis Approach

Background: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a small subpopulation of cancer cells that have the potential for self-renewal and a strong proliferative capacity, and sustain tumorigenesis capabilities. This ability of CSCs to escape immune responses makes the CSCs a primary source of functionally altered, immune-resistant, chemoresistant, aggressive tumor cells. These characteristics determine the potential advantage of targeting CSCs for the treatment of solid tumors. Method: First, we downloaded different gene expression datasets of CSCs from the NCBI-GEO (National Center for Biotechnology Information–Gene Expression Omnibus) database and identified common genes by using a suitable Venn tool. Subsequently, we explored the prognostic significance of the particular genes in particular cancers and analyzed the expression of these genes at the protein level in human solid tumors by using KM plotter (Kaplan-Meier plotter) and an HPA (The Human Protein Atlas) database, respectively. Finally, using a comparative toxicogenomic database, we selected several important drugs or chemicals. Result: From this study, we identified APOC1 as a common upregulated gene in breast cancer and SLC44A5 and CAV2 as common up- and downregulated genes in lung cancer. In ovarian cancer, PRRG4 is a commonly upregulated gene, and ADCY7, AKAP12, TPM2, and FLNC are commonly downregulated genes. These genes also show prognostic significance in respective cancers. Several drugs that are capable of targeting the expression or signaling network of designated genes of CSC were also identified, which may contribute in CSC-targeted cancer therapy. Conclusion: Our study suggests a need for more in-depth experimental investigations to determine the actual functional activity and the mechanism of action of these CSC-associated genes.

Sharia-supervisory board’s characteristics and green banking disclosure: exploring from Islamic banking in MENA countries

Purpose This study aims to investigate the extent to which the characteristics of Sharia supervisory boards (SSB) in banking institutions impact the disclosure of information pertaining to green banking practices. Design/methodology/approach A comprehensive dynamic panel data analysis approach was applied to a data set comprising Islamic banks from 15 countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, covering the period from 2012 to 2022. In addition, a series of robustness and endogeneity analyses were conducted to ensure the consistency of the main findings. Findings This study shows that the characteristics of the SSB significantly impact the green banking disclosure practices of Islamic banks. Specifically, the proportion of board members who hold multiple SSB positions and the presence of foreign board members exhibit a negative and significant effect on green banking disclosure. Conversely, the size of the SSB is positively and significantly associated with green banking disclosure. Thus, the extent of green banking disclosure in Islamic banks is likely to increase with the size of the SSB. However, an increase in board members’ external commitments and a higher proportion of foreign board members are associated with a decline in green banking disclosure. Further analysis supports these findings, confirming their consistency across different contexts. Research limitations/implications The findings of this study highlight the critical role that the composition and characteristics of the SSB play in shaping the green banking practices of Islamic banks in MENA countries. These insights provide valuable guidance for policymakers and Islamic financial institutions aiming to strengthen sustainability practices while adhering to Shariah principles. As green banking becomes increasingly crucial in the global financial landscape, optimizing the SSB’s composition could be a key driver in advancing the environmental goals of Islamic banking in the MENA region. Practical implications Islamic banks in the MENA region should focus on optimizing their SSB composition to enhance green banking disclosure. Increasing the size of the SSB can positively influence disclosure practices. However, banks should manage board members’ external engagements to ensure they have sufficient focus on green initiatives. Strategic recruitment of foreign members with a commitment to sustainability, coupled with targeted training programs, can further improve disclosure. Originality/value Specific SSB characteristics such as size and foreign board members influence disclosure of green banking, which previous studies did not conduct research on.

A novel comprehensive approach to soil and water conservation: integrating morphometric analysis, WSA, PCA, and CoDA-PCA in the Naama sub-basins case study, Southwest of Algeria.

This research paper presents a detailed investigation into the morphometric characteristics of sub-basins within the Naama region of Algeria, aiming to prioritize areas vulnerable to soil erosion and runoff risks. Focusing on five key sub-basins that collectively represent 75% of the Wilaya of Naama, the study employs a comprehensive methodological framework, integrating morphometric analysis (MA), weighted sum analysis (WSA), principal component analysis (PCA), and the novel approach of compositional data analysis (CoDA). Through the rigorous evaluation of sixteen distinct morphometric parameters selected based on their relevance to hydrological and geomorphological processes that influence erosion and runoff, this research provides a nuanced understanding of the factors influencing erosion susceptibility within each sub-basin. The analysis reveals a clear hierarchy of sub-basins based on their calculated compound parameters, effectively classifying them into high, moderate, and low priority categories for targeted intervention and resource allocation. The results highlight the Ain Sefra and Wadi Er Rosafa sub-basins as the highest priority areas, collectively encompassing 31.51% of the wilaya and posing the most significant threats of runoff and soil erosion. This identification allows for the prioritization of conservation efforts and the implementation of tailored management strategies in these critical areas. Furthermore, the integration of multiple prioritization approaches, including the innovative application of CoDA, ensures a robust and comprehensive assessment of the sub-basin landscapes. This multi-faceted approach provides a more nuanced understanding of the complex interplay between various morphometric parameters and their influence on erosion and runoff potential. The findings of this research have significant implications for sustainable land and water resource management within the Naama region. By identifying and prioritizing vulnerable sub-basins, the study provides a crucial foundation for informed decision-making, enabling stakeholders to implement targeted interventions and mitigate the detrimental impacts of soil erosion and excessive runoff. Moreover, the methodological framework presented in this research paper offers a valuable blueprint for similar studies in other regions facing comparable challenges. The cost-effective and time-efficient nature of the approach makes it a practical tool for prioritizing erosion and runoff risks in arid and semi-arid environments worldwide, contributing to the broader goals of environmental sustainability and land degradation neutrality.
