The Insects Visitor on Wild Israeli Grass Flowers (Asystasia gangetica (L.) T. Anderson)

Insects are invertebrate fauna that are important in various ecosystems and have high diversity and adaptability to various habitats. Insect diversity plays an important role (pollinator, pest control, or natural enemy) in several sectors, such as agriculture, ecology, human health, and natural resources. Apart from their beneficial role, the presence of insects can also be detrimental to humans; for example, insects can cause damage to agricultural products. Therefore, this research aimed to determine the diversity and role of insect visitors to the flowers of the Israeli grass plant (Asystasia gangetica). The research was carried out using a scan sampling survey method around community settlements, especially locations that various wild plants still cover. The research results showed that ten species and 255 individual insects visited Israeli grass flowers, which were divided into five orders, namely Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Diptera, and Hymenoptera. The order Lepidoptera is a flower-visiting insect species with the highest abundance and is a pollinator. Flowering plants that grow wild, such as Israel grass, benefit society indirectly by being used as traditional medicine. However, they also positively impact the diversity of flower-visiting insects. The presence of flower-visiting insects that work around grass indirectly has the potential to conserve beneficial grass plants but is underestimated by the community.

The value of home-uroflowmetry in evaluation of voiding function in children with overactive bladder

Overactive bladder (OAB) in children is clinically common and seriously affects the physical and mental health of children. The voiding frequency (VF) is an important basis for the diagnosis of OAB. The emergence of home-uroflowmetry (HUF) has allowed the patients to record the VF while recording the uroflowmetry at home, and the voiding at home can show the real voiding situation. However, the use of HUF to assess OAB in children and its clinical significance has not been reported in the literature. Thus, this study investigate the value of HUF in evaluation of voiding function in children with OAB and survey the VF of healthy children in Mainland China. From May 2021 to July 2023, 52 children with OAB aged 7-10 years, 48 age-matched volunteers (control group) accepted HUF. Daytime VF and nighttime VF, voided volume (VV) per time, 24-h voided volume (24h-VV), maximum flow rate (Qmax), voiding time (VT), and uroflow pattern were recorded and compute corrected maximum urine flow rate (cQmax). VF in 600 health pupils (7-10 years) from five primary schools in Henan Province China were selected for questionnaire survey by cross-sectional survey and multi-stage sampling methods. 52 children with OAB and 48 healthy children completed the available 48-h HUF recordings. 24-hour, daytime, and nighttime VF, and cQmax were higher in the OAB group than in the control group (P<0.05). However, average VV, Qmax, and VT were lower in the OAB group than in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in 24h-VV between two groups (P>0.05). A total of 502 questionnaires qualified for statistical analysis, and the 24h-VF was 6.3±0.95 times, daytime VF was 5.6±0.89 times, and nighttime VF was 0.7±0.59 times. There was no significant difference in the comparison of 24-h, daytime, and nighttime VF between boys and girls and in the comparison of VF by age (P>0.05). Compared with the results of the questionnaire, the difference of VF in HUF control group was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The VF in children is similar to that of adults and the HUF is a useful tool with the ability to more realistically record changes in voiding function in children with OAB.

How Teachers Contribute to the Sustainability of the University Brand: Evidence from China

A brand strategy is a powerful guarantee for a university to enhance its reputation and sustainable development. An internal brand is the foundation of a university brand. Based on three variables—internal market orientation, teachers’ organizational identity, and teachers’ brand support behavior, a research model is constructed on a university’s internal brand formation mechanisms. To summarize how teachers support the university’s internal brand building, we analyzed the relationship between the three variables. This study used a three-stage sampling survey method to distribute 500 questionnaires and recovered 419 valid samples. The data from the valid questionnaires were statistically analyzed using two software programs—SPSS 24.0 and Mplus 7.2. This survey and analysis found that the three internal market orientation dimensions (internal information collection, internal communication, and feedback) are significantly positively correlated with teachers’ organizational identity and brand support behavior. Teachers’ organizational identity is not only significantly positively correlated with brand support behavior, but also mediates the relationship between the three dimensions of internal market orientation and brand support behavior. Universities should pay attention to the key roles of teachers in brand building and regard internal market orientation as an important tool for internal brand building.

Comparison of Clinical Profile and Current Status of the Treatment Nonadherent Persons with Mental Illness: A Study from a Rural Community Mental Health Center in India

Abstract Background: Treatment nonadherence comprises a combination of individual, family, social, treatment center, and illness-related factors. In this context, the present study aims to compare the clinical profile and the current status of persons with mental illness who have discontinued their treatment at a rural community mental health center (RCMHC) in India. Materials and Methods: The persons who discontinued treatment with a diagnosis category of severe mental disorders (SMDs), common mental disorders (CMDs), and substance use disorders (SUDs) who sought treatment at RCMHC are the study population. The present study has followed a comparative research design that compares the clinical profiles of SMDs, CMDs, and SUDs. A survey method of sampling was adopted. A semi-structured interview schedule, clinical global impression (CGI), and errors in drug adherence schedule were used as measures in the study. A home visit approach, telephone contacts, and collateral information were followed to collect the data. Results: Out of the 80 respondents, only 16 (20.0%) reported improvement, and the remaining 16 (20.0%) are receiving treatment from various facilities. The rest of the 48 (60.0%) subjects were not on treatment despite being ill. The number of respondents who did not take their medication even for a day was 10 (12.5%), and another 34 (42.5%) subjects completely stopped their medication within a month. CGI-improvement highlights that nearly 47 (58.7%) respondents had shown much and very much improvement while they were on treatment. The CGI-severity of illness rating scale revealed that 54 (67.5%), i.e., nearly 2/3 of the respondents, were currently in the mild-to-extreme mentally ill category. Conclusion: Comprehensive psychosocial and community-based approaches will enhance treatment adherence in mental illness.

Cognition, affect, and behavioural changes among university students after 10 new guidelines were issued in China: An exploratory study

ObjectivesSince late 2019, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic has become a common public health concern globally. China has entered a new phase of prevention and control with the implementation of the 10 new guidelines epidemic prevention policy in early December 2022. The resurgence of the outbreak may cause negative consequences on the behaviour of university students. This study aimed to assess the relationship between cognition, affect, and behavioural changes among university students and the related influencing factors after 10 new guidelines were issued, as well as the difficulties or concerns encountered in the current epidemic prevention process. It also provides a reference for the government to formulate targeted epidemic prevention strategies. MethodsThis study is a cross-sectional investigation. Self-designed questionnaires were distributed to students of a university in Hangzhou between December 25, 2022, and March 13, 2023, using convenience and snowball sampling methods for online surveys. Data analysis involved descriptive analysis, non-parametric tests, correlation, multiple linear regression, and content analyses. ResultsUniversity students had a moderate to high level of cognition about COVID-19 and a medium level of affect. However, the level of behavioural changes was low and the average score was 2.33 (2.00, 3.00). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that female sex, higher grade, medical specialty, affective factor, and cognitive factor were influencing factors of behavioural changes, which accounted for 35.7% of the variance in behavioural change. Difficulties or concerns included apprehension (84.8%), lack of information (39.3%), and uncertainty about the future (55.1%). ConclusionsThe prevention behaviour of university students has slackened. Evidence-based tailored policy development is indicated. This study suggested that schools and the government can improve the effectiveness of epidemic prevention among university students by adjusting the strategy of epidemic prevention policy formulation, broadening the channels of epidemic prevention information dissemination, and improving the mechanism of "government-community-school-family" collaborative governance.
