A DFT study of natural-based materials kaempferol and apigenin for hazardous CO and CO2 gas detection

In this research, the chemical and structural attributes of two flavonoid compounds, Kaempferol and Apigenin, have been investigated employing DFT. These compounds are considered the most promising options for high-sensitivity gas sensors. Applying DFT computations, the adsorption behaviour of typical gas molecules over Kaempferol and Apigenin was studied. Apigenin (Kaempferol) could respond to physisorption of CO and CO2 molecules sensitively due to their considerable charge transfer (CT). Particularly, notable progress in transport performance is induced by absorption of both CO and CO2, which makes Apigenin (Kaempferol) an appropriate option to detect CO and CO2 molecules sensitively. In order to examine potential application of natural products in sensing toxic gases, we deeply believe that this work supplies guidance for research groups.

Time cooperative guidance law based on neural network

In response to the issue of coordinated guidance for vehicle groups, a neural network-based time-to-go prediction method has been designed. The influence of the motion state of both the vehicle and the target on the prediction results has been considered in this method. Compared with the classical method, the prediction error of the moving target is obviously reduced. A guidance law with a time synergy coefficient is proposed. This method adjusts the flight trajectory of the vehicles by the time-to-go error, ensuring that the cluster of vehicle arrive at the target simultaneously. According to the simulation results, the prediction error of the neural network is less than 0.4 s, and the maximum coordination error is 0.2 s, which achieves the effect of cooperative interception.

Cultivating Practical Skills in Dance Therapy Professionals within Vocational Education

The concept of "Dance Therapy" originated in the field of dance therapy in the United States, integrating elements of dance and psychology, emphasizing the philosophy of unity of body and mind. Dance therapy is not only an art form but also a therapeutic method. Through dance movements, rhythm, and expression, it helps individuals explore themselves, release emotions, and enhance social and cognitive abilities. In vocational education, the training of dance therapy professionals is of great significance. They can apply the concepts and methods of dance therapy to provide effective guidance and support for patient groups, promoting their rehabilitation and healing. To cultivate professionals with practical skills in dance therapy, it is necessary to study the value of dance therapy deeply. By analyzing its functions, we can understand how dance therapy helps individuals progress in social, cognitive, and personal qualities. Therefore, training dance therapy professionals in vocational education is a task of great importance. Through research and practice, the theory and methods of dance therapy can be continuously refined, offering effective help and support to more people.

Analysis of Policy Strategy for Empowerment of Fisherman in Teluk Village, Labuan Sub-District, Pandeglang Regency

The community empowerment approach is sought to provide guidance for the sustainability of the livelihoods and lives of the fishing communities of Teluk Village, Labuan District, Pandeglang Regency, especially after being hit by the tsunami (22/12/2018) and the Covid-19 pandemic. Ecosystem preservation also requires commitment from stakeholders. The policy strategy is the government's task that needs to be analyzed, while the community has strong social capital, as a form of survival in facing opportunities, challenges and threats in the management of marine and fishery resources. This study aims to analyze the policy strategy for empowering fishermen in Teluk Village, Labuan District, Pandeglang Regency. The key theory used is the concept of strategy according to Hunger-Wheelen (2003: 9), through observing the external environment to describe opportunities and threats, then observing the internal environment of the organization to describe strengths and weaknesses known as Strengths, Weaknesses (weaknesses). Opportunities (opportunities), and Threats (threats). The approach used in this research is descriptive qualitative. Through this approach it is intended to be able to take a full picture of various phenomena that aim to describe, summarize various conditions, various situations or various social realities of empowering the fishing community in Teluk Village, Labuan District, Pandeglang Regency. The results of the study show that the policy strategy for empowering fishermen in Teluk Village refers to strengthening the internal and external sources of the Pandeglang Regency Maritime Service organization, including efforts in the field of empowering fishermen by carrying out various fisheries business development programs, carrying out fishermen technical guidance for business groups with fishermen. Furthermore, monitoring and evaluation, as well as carrying out reports. The suggestion that the researchers put forward is to increase various efforts to empower fishermen in the Bay Village by encouraging fishermen's involvement in accessing various institutional fishermen empowerment programs and revitalizing various facilities and infrastructure that require development and repair due to the tsunami disaster.

Responding to avian influenza A H5N1 detection on a hospital property in Maine-An interdisciplinary approach.

The risk of infection with avian influenza A viruses currently circulating in wild and domestic birds in the Americas is considered low for the general public; however, detections in humans have been reported and warning signs of increased zoonotic potential have been identified. In December 2022, two Canada geese residing on the grounds of an urban hospital in Maine tested positive for influenza A H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b. Given the opportunity for exposure to staff and hospital visitors through potentially infected faeces on the property, public health authorities determined mitigation efforts were needed to prevent the spread of disease. The ensuing response relied on collaboration between the public health and animal health agencies to guide the hospital through efforts in preventing possible zoonotic transmission to humans. Mitigation efforts included staff communication and education, environmental cleaning and disinfection, enhanced illness surveillance among staff and patients, and exposure and source reduction. No human H5N1 cases were identified, and no additional detections in birds on the property occurred. Hospital staff identified barriers to preparedness resulting from a lack of understanding of avian influenza A viruses and transmission prevention methods, including avian influenza risk in resident wild bird populations and proper wildlife management methods. As this virus continues to circulate at the animal-human interface, this event and resulting response highlights the need for influenza A H5N1 risk awareness and guidance for facilities and groups not traditionally involved in avian influenza responses.

Leadership Coaching to Improve Nursing Unit Practice Councils Effectiveness

Nursing shared governance (SG) provides an opportunity for alignment between frontline team members and nursing leadership. A department of nursing had a mature SG program with many thriving departmental-based SG groups. However, structural processes and guidance for unit-based SG groups were lacking and demonstrated a need for improvement. The General Theory of Effective Multilevel Shared Governance framework provided an opportunity to refocus and improve unit practice councils (UPC). Results demonstrated that UPC leadership competencies can be improved through focused 1:1 leadership coaching by identifying a UPC area of opportunity and utilizing evidence-based tools and resources.

10 Paediatricians’ Awareness of Canadian Screen Time Guidelines, Perception of Screen Time Use, and Counseling during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract Background Paediatricians are essential for guiding families on screen time use as digital media become increasingly prevalent, particularly through the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is no literature on paediatrician awareness of Canadian guidelines or on perception of these guidelines during the pandemic. Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and comfort of paediatricians with the Canadian Paediatric Society’s (CPS) screen time guidelines, specifically during the COVID-19 pandemic. Design/Methods Our survey was developed by a paediatric resident and paediatric endocrinologist, reviewed by local experts, and sent electronically to members of the Community and Developmental Paediatrics Sections of the CPS. Results All 53 respondents were aware of current CPS screen time guidelines, and the majority had fair to excellent knowledge of guidance for both age groups (<5 years, and school-aged children and adolescents). Over 80% noticed increased screen time use during the pandemic, and 98% were somewhat or very concerned about screen time use and their patients’ health or well-being. Qualitative data indicated paediatricians were concerned about associations between increased screen time with worsening behaviour, mental health concerns, obesity, and sedentary lifestyle. The greatest implementation barrier was perceived to be insufficient motivation or support from caregivers/families. Conclusion Our study demonstrates that paediatricians are highly knowledgeable and comfortable with current screen time guidelines, and frequently counsel their patients accordingly. Despite this, paediatricians are increasingly concerned with negative health outcomes associated with screen time use. We hope these results empower paediatricians to continue counseling patients and encourage further local advocacy and public education around increased screen time and related health risks in children.

Overview of Research on the Guidance of Preschool Family Education in China

The introduction of the "Family Education Promotion Law" pointed out that the state and society should provide guidance, support and services for family education. It can be seen that family education guidance has aroused great attention of the state, and the society is in urgent need of relevant research on family education guidance as a theoretical basis. Through the literature review, it is found that the current research mainly focuses on the investigation and research of the status quo of family education guidance for young children, family education guidance for special groups and the guidance model of family education for young children. It is found that the existing research has limitations such as single research method, narrow research perspective, and insufficient research depth. This paper believes that future research directions can be explored by combining qualitative research and quantitative research, conducting research from different angles, and building new guidance models.

Introduction of new superior varieties and Jajar Legowo Super cultivation technology to increase rice productivity in Central Sulawesi

The agricultural sector must receive serious attention today since it faces many challenges such as the small size of land ownership and the low interest of the younger generation for doing this business. Various efforts have been made, including the agricultural technology park program and other programs for increasing production and farmer welfare. All those agricultural programs need to be supported by technology and model to get properly development. This study aims to increase the productivity and income of farmers in the agricultural development area. The research activities include potentials and problems of farm identification by a Forum Group Discussion and research implementation using a factorial randomized completely block design with four new high yield varieties and one existing variety. The results showed that farmers were very enthusiastic and responsive to the use of new high yield varieties which combined with Jajar Legowo Super technology. The highest yields in the first and second planting season were consistently reached by Inpari 30 variety. It was carried out both in Batui and South Batui District and there was an increase in production around 1.7-2 t/ha. Crop yields and farmers’ incomes have increased. The guidance and assistance for farmer groups has not shown best results, however, collaboration between the breeder group and the off taker (PT Pertani) has been formed, while the development of premium rice has not been optimally implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Investigating rates and risk factors for hepatitis C virus reinfection in people receiving antiviral treatment in England.

England has committed to the World Health Organization target to eliminate hepatitis C virus (HCV) as a public threat by the year 2030. Given successful treatments for HCV in recent years, it is unclear whether HCV reinfection will impact England's ability to achieve HCV elimination. We aimed to estimate the HCV reinfection rate among a cohort of patients receiving antiviral treatment using available surveillance data. Linkage between a treatment dataset from 2015 to 2019 and an HCV RNA testing dataset were used to identify people who experienced reinfection using three criteria. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to determine risk factors associated with HCV reinfection among a cohort who received treatment and had follow-up HCV RNA testing. The reinfection rate among those receiving HCV treatment was 7.91 per 100 person-years (PYs, 95% confidence interval (CI) 7.37-8.49) and highest among current injecting drug users (22.55 per 100 PYs, 95% CI 19.98-25.46) and people who had been in prison (20.42 per 100 PYs, 95% CI 17.21-24.24). In the adjusted model, women had a significantly reduced risk of reinfection. Being of younger age, current injecting drug users, and receipt of first treatment in prison were each significantly associated with increased risk of reinfection. Two-fifths of those with reinfection (43%, n=329/767) were linked to treatment after reinfection, and of those starting treatment, three quarters (75%, n=222/296) achieved a sustained virologic response. Guidance for testing groups at risk of reinfection and harm reduction strategies to minimize transmission should be implemented if England is to achieve HCV elimination targets.

Evaluation of EDISON's data science competency framework through a comparative literature analysis

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>During the emergence of Data Science as a distinct discipline, discussions of what exactly constitutes Data Science have been a source of contention, with no clear resolution. These disagreements have been exacerbated by the lack of a clear single disciplinary 'parent.' Many early efforts at defining curricula and courses exist, with the EDISON Project's Data Science Framework (EDISON-DSF) from the European Union being the most complete. The EDISON-DSF includes both a Data Science Body of Knowledge (DS-BoK) and Competency Framework (CF-DS). This paper takes a critical look at how EDISON's CF-DS compares to recent work and other published curricular or course materials. We identify areas of strong agreement and disagreement with the framework. Results from the literature analysis provide strong insights into what topics the broader community see as belonging in (or not in) Data Science, both at curricular and course levels. This analysis can provide important guidance for groups working to formalize the discipline and any college or university looking to build their own undergraduate Data Science degree or programs.</p>

Design and implementation of a health messaging protocol employed for use within a COVID-19 health dissemination platform.

AZCOVIDTXT, a bilingual, two-way information sharing platform was created in April of 2020 in response to rising COVID-19 cases in Arizona. The aim of this paper is to delineate the protocol and processes used to develop and disseminate health messaging to serve as guidance for other groups, universities, or public health programs in the implementation or enhancement of health communication services. Health messaging formats included website articles, published on the system's website (azcovidtxt.org), infographics posted on social media, and SMS. Social media and SMS infographics were intended to highlight and augment the topics covered in the weekly website articles, to create a seamless multimodal source of reliable COVID-19 information for AZCOVIDTXT enrollees and the broader public. All health messaging information, text message and social media content was planned and reviewed collaboratively by the AZCOVIDTXT team topic experts for accuracy, efficacy, and content consistency. As of July 2021, AZCOVIDTXT provided weekly COVID-19-related health communication to 3,747 participating households located across 225 Arizona zip codes. AZCOVIDTXT has developed and sent 446 unique, bilingual SMS for a total of 271,977 contact points. The team has produced and published 179 website articles, which averaged a combined 7,000-page views per month, and 173 social media posts were made available to 268 followers across three platforms. Several programmatic aspects were deemed essential to the success of AZCOVIDTXT. These included (1) addressing community specific needs, (2) creating timely and relevant content, (3) developing an adaptable system, and (4) prioritizing system automation where possible, (5) having an interdisciplinary team approach to identifying and crafting key messages.

Retrospective summary analysis on the results of oral health epidemiological investigations in China.

ObjectiveComparative analysis of the results of the four national oral health epidemiological investigations conducted in 1983, 1995, 2005 and 2015 respectively, to understand the changes in the oral health status of the Chinese people with economic development, and provide a scientific basis for the country to formulate effective oral health defense measures.MethodsCollect the data of four large-scale oral health epidemiological investigations conducted in the past 40 years, make a retrospective summary and comparative analysis of the list below to understand the changes in Chinese oral health-related indicators such as dental caries and analyze the reason.ResultsSince 1995, the preventive counseling rate was increased. Since 1983, the incidence of caries has decreased, but it has increased in children aged 5 and 12 in the last ten years. Four investigations have examined gingivitis and the situation has not improved significantly. Tooth loss was mainly concentrated in the old group, the repair rate of denture was significantly increased. There are significant differences between the gender and urban and rural distribution of oral health.ConclusionsThere is an imbalance in the degree of oral health knowledge of Chinese people, and the incidence of caries and periodontal diseases is still relatively high. It is necessary to strengthen hygiene guidance for different age groups, focusing on prevention and combining prevention and treatment to jointly promote oral health.

Guidance for community groups around the Unhas Education Forest needs to be carried out to encourage increased public awareness about the importance of preserving the forest without losing its benefits of the forest. Furthermore, the community can use the number of visits, both individually and in groups, to the Unhas educational forest for various purposes as a market opportunity to increase income. One of the commodities cultivated by the local community is the oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus). Overall, this community service activity is carried out through a series of activities, including lectures, focus group discussions, training and demonstrations, and workshops. This activity is expected to make the community feel the benefits of the forest and play an active role in conserving the forest. In addition, it can improve the welfare of the people living around the forest. The activity results showed that after participating in the training, 75 per cent of the participants were able to explain the stages of mushroom cultivation.

Nutritional and health behaviour predictors of the weight gain during the COVID-19 pandemic

PurposeThis study aims to examine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the body weight, nutritional habits, physical activity, and food consumption of adults living in Turkey and evaluate the effects of changes in these health behaviours on body weight.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with an online questionnaire. Data were collected through social media platforms using the snowball sampling method. A self-reported questionnaire included socio-demographic information, anthropometric data, dietary habits, food consumption, and lifestyle changes. In this study, 4181 people were included. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the variables associated with the increase in body weight.ResultsThe findings obtained in this study showed that the bodyweight of 58.5% of the participants increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, and this increase was the highest (66.3%) among the obese. The rate of those who stated that their physical activity decreased was 69.5%. The foods consumed the most by individuals were homemade desserts (54%), nuts (53.8%) and fresh fruits (52.3%). Those whose serving size increased [OR = 4.98 (3.76–6.60)], those whose physical activity decreased or increased [OR = 2.94 (2.38–3.63) or 2.52 (1.84–3.45), respectively], and those whose number of main meals consumed increased [OR = 2.17 (1.72) − 2.75)], those with increased consumption of white bread (OR = 1.63 (1.20–2.22) and those with increased consumption of packaged sweet products [OR = 1.53 (1.23–1.89)] were more likely to gain weight.ConclusionThe results of this study show that there are significant changes in the body weight, physical activities, and eating habits of the participants during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is necessary to provide and follow-up specific guidance and support services for different groups to protect public health, improve and prevent nutrition-related diseases.

Dynamics of the Asian shipping network in adjacent ports: Comparative case studies of Shanghai-Ningbo and Hong Kong-Shenzhen

The evolution of adjacent container ports enhances the Asian port system. This study analyzes the dynamics of the Asian shipping network in adjacent ports, a case study of Shanghai-Ningbo and Hong Kong-Shenzhen ports. The competition between the adjacent port groups, assessed by offset growth rate is analyzed using the Shift-Share model. The dynamics of port centrality and connection are then analyzed using the complex network index. Additionally, the dynamics of the external links of the ports in the network are analyzed using an interlocking network model. The results highlight that the container throughput of Shanghai and Ningbo ports increases simultaneously, while the container throughput of Hong Kong and Shenzhen presents the trade-off phenomenon. The two adjacent port groups generate geographically dispersed networks of container flow in the Asian region. International route patterns and port coverages of Shanghai and Ningbo have a high degree of similarity, while that of Hong Kong and Shenzhen are different. Interestingly, Shanghai-Ningbo demonstrate a dramatic growth pattern, whereas Hong Kong-Shenzhen exhibit a shifting pattern. The findings of this study can be used by the sector to understand the evolution process of the port system and provide useful guidance for adjacent port groups to improve their efficiency.

Family resilience as a potential family situation in realizing the welfare of life. This discourse needs to be introduced to teenagers of marriageable age to form their identity as potential family subjects. This community service focuses on efforts to build family resilience through marriage guidance for groups of married-age teenagers who live in a rural village where household problems often occur. This community service uses a Problem based Service Learning method model with an effort to provide problem solving to community partners. The conclusive results of this service show that: (1) marriage guidance for adolescents of marriageable age is a relevant effort to form identity in building family resilience; (2) marriage guidance through socialization of the Marriage Law with religious teachings that are more easily absorbed by rural communities of the religious type; (3) the provision of marriage guidance activities with collaboration between service learning actors and community partners is better able to increase community participation

How Industries Use Direct-to-Public Persuasion in Policy Conflicts: Asymmetries in Public Voting Responses

Industries use persuasion strategies to gain public support when challenged by activist groups on consumer-relevant issues. This marketing practice, termed “direct-to-public persuasion,” has received limited attention in the field, and thus we have little understanding of when such campaigns fail or succeed. This research introduces a theoretically derived and empirically supported framework that draws from multiple areas, including marketing persuasion, political campaign strategy, sociopolitical legitimacy, and perceptual fit, to identify important differences in the effectiveness of these persuasion strategies on attitudes and voting behavior. The multimethod approach includes a field study of ballot measure voting during a national U.S. election and three experimental studies. The findings contribute new knowledge of asymmetries in public response to industry and activist arguments. Stronger arguments from both sides lead to more favorable outcomes, but activist groups benefit most. Suspicion of activist arguments weakens the impact on attitudes and voting; industry argument suspicion has limited impact, though it does increase the likelihood of voter switching. A financial argumentation strategy works best for the industry side, while societal argumentation is more effective for the activist side. The insights offer guidance for industries and activist groups as argument strategy success is contingent on the side that uses it.
