High levels of blood pressure among Brazilian overweight and obese children and adolescents

Background: Arterial hypertension (AH) is a growing problem globally, bringing various health consequences. Numerous surveys show that the risk of AH is higher in overweight and obese individuals than in eutrophic ones. However, the number of data that investigates blood pressure in obese pediatric populations is still small. Therefore, this study aims to assess the prevalence of hypertension in overweight and obese children and adolescents. Methods:Retrospective cross-sectional study with children and adolescents from two health services in different regions of Brazil and distinct socioeconomic profiles. All children and adolescents seen between 1998-2020, aged 5-17 years, with a body mass index greater than +1 standard deviation (Z-score), were enrolled in the study. Blood pressure was measured once with the patient lying down and at rest. American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines were used to classify the patient’s blood pressure levels. Results: 691 patients were evaluated (49% male). Of these, 47.6% had hypertension. The prevalences of hypertension among overweight and obese subjects were 38.8% and 51.5% (p = 0.002), respectively. In addition, obese people were 1.67 times more likely to have hypertension than overweight people. Males had a higher prevalence of hypertension (52.1% vs. 43.3%; p = 0.002) and were 1.3 times more likely to have high blood pressure values. Conclusion: The prevalence of hypertension was high in overweightand obese children and adolescents from two pediatric outpatient clinics. Males and subjects with obesity were at significantly higher risk of having hypertension.

Research and Optimization Suggestions of Infant Care Service System in East, Middle and Western Regions

The discussion on the aging society has always been a hot issue. How to solve the aging problem is related to the progress of the nation and the rejuvenation of the country. The succession of two-child and three-child policies all reveal the severity of this problem. Due to the unbalanced level of economic development in the middle, east and west regions of China, the demands of the public system of infant care service are different and the current situation is different, and the optimization measures of different regions are also differentiated. But the challenges facing the public system of infant care services are mostly the same across regions, and there are common ways to optimize them. In this paper, the infant care service demand as the entry point, combined with the existing public system of infant care services in different regions of the influence factors and development status, put forward targeted and universal development suggestions. Finally, we will make suggestions for the country and government, promote the development of infant care service systems in different regions in our country together, to help solve the aging population in our country.

Assessment of Multiple Ecosystem Services and Ecological Security Pattern in Shanxi Province, China.

The ecological security pattern construction could effectively regulate ecological processes and ensure ecological functions, then rationally allocate natural resources and green infrastructure, and, finally, realize ecological security. In view of serious soil erosion, accelerated land desertification, soil pollution and habitat degradation in Shanxi Province, the spatial distribution of six key ecosystem services, including water conservation (WC), soil conservation (SC), sand fixation (SF), carbon storage (CS), net primary productivity (NPP) and habitat quality (HQ), was analyzed by using multiple models. The comprehensive ability of multiple ecosystem services in different regions was quantified by calculating multiple ecosystem services landscape index (MESLI). Combined with ecosystem services hotspots, the ecological security pattern of Shanxi Province was constructed by using the minimum cumulative resistance model. The results showed that the spatial differences in ecosystem services in Shanxi Province were obvious, which was low in the seven major basins and Fen River valley, and high in the mountains (especially Taihang and Lvliang Mountains) for WC, SC, CS, NPP and HQ, while high SF was only distributed in the northern Shanxi. The MESLI showed that the ability to provide multiple ecosystem services simultaneously was low in Shanxi Province, with the medium and low grade MESLI regions accounting for 58.61%, and only 18.07% for the high grade MESLI regions. The important protected areas and ecological sources of the ecological security pattern were concentrated in the Lvliang and Taihang Mountains, which were consistent with the key areas of ecosystem services. The ecological corridors illustrated network distribution with ecological sources as the center, the low-, medium- and high-level buffers accounted for 26.34%, 17.03% and 16.35%, respectively. The results will provide important implications for economic transformation, high-quality development and ecological sustainable development in resource-based regions worldwide.

According to the data from the National Bureau of Statistics in 2021, China's population urbanization rate reached 64.72%. Large-scale urbanization has led to the expansion of cities, which has put enormous pressure on the ecosystems. The urbanization of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region (BTH) is the epitome and typical example of rapid urbanization development in China. In 2018, the urbanization rate of BTH has reached 65.8%. With the continuous advancement of urbanization, the natural ecosystem of the BTH has undergone a complex change, which posed a severe challenge to the sustainable development of the region. At the same time, the imbalance of regional development in the BTH is very serious. In this study, we analyzed the changes of urbanization and ecosystem services and the relationship between them in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region during 2000-2020. We also explored the scale effects and change patterns of this relationship at the grid scale, county scale, and municipal scale. The four urbanization indicators are nighttime light, urban land proportion, population density and GDP density, while the five ecosystem services indicators are water yield, food provisioning, soil conservation, carbon storage and habitat quality. In this study, the InVEST model was used to quantify the selected ecosystem services indicators, and the results of the four urbanization indicators were obtained by combining statistical data. Based on this, Pearson correlation analysis and geographically weighted regression were applied to test the relationship between them. The results showed that (1) the ecosystem services increased with the urbanization in the BTH, except for carbon storage, which decreased by 0.8%, with habitat quality increased by 0.8%, water yield increased by 68%, soil conservation increased by 35.7%, and food provisioning increased by nearly three times. (2) There was a significant correlation between ecosystem services and urbanization (P< 0.01), and the correlation was the most significant at the county scale. Water yield was positively correlated with the four urbanization indicators, while food provisioning, carbon storage, soil conservation and habitat quality were all negatively correlated with the 4 urbanization indicators. There was also a significant correlation between ecosystem services. Carbon storage, soil conservation and habitat quality showed a trade-off on the three scales. At the same time, this correlation would increase with time. (3) The results of geographically weighted regression showed that the fitting degree of urbanization indicators and ecosystem services was high only on the county scale, and had a clearly spatial agglomeration characteristic. Among them, the fitting degree of urban land proportion, carbon storage and food provisioning was the highest, which were 0.42 and 0.63, respectively. It suggests that using the county scale as the study scale is to some extent a more accurate response to the impact of urbanization on ecosystem services. However, some ecosystem services were more correlated with urbanization indicators at the grid and municipal scales, so different policies needed to be developed for the management of ecosystem services in different regions, and the scales could be adjusted dynamically as appropriate. The article clarified the impact of urbanization on ecosystem services, and focused on the scale effects between urbanization and ecosystem services relationships, providing a reference for ecosystem management in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. 参考文献 相似文献 引证文献

Contradiction between Supply and Demand of Public Sports Services and Coping Strategies Based on the Genetic Algorithm.

The current situation of China's sports public service is not very satisfactory. This research analyzes not only the operation characteristics of the public sports service supply mode but also the connotation mechanism of the public sports service collaborative supply. The article also constructs the mechanism elements and the index system of the public sports service collaborative supply from the perspective of the genetic algorithm. Taking the eastern and central regions as research cases, this paper analyzes the actual situation of the collaborative supply of public sports services, and further explores the gap between urban and rural public sports. It puts forward the ideas and strategic paths for the innovative development of the collaborative supply model of public sports services. This research uses descriptive statistical analysis on the evaluation results of public sports service quality to examine the actual performance value of public sports service quality in various regions and uses the characteristics of different fitness of genetic algorithms to select the optimal supply and demand of public sports services in different regions. By analyzing the characteristics of insufficient supply and demand of public sports services in various regions, an optimal genetic algorithm model is constructed, and then combined with the scope of the study area and the number of people in the area, the genetic algorithm is used to continuously optimize until a set of optimal solutions appears, thus completing the optimal configuration of public sports services. The optimal path for the development of public sports in different regions is obtained, so as to promote the development of regional public sports. The study found that the satisfaction of sports funds in primary and middle schools in the east and middle is not very high, and the satisfaction with sports funds in middle schools is higher than that in primary schools, but only 50% of schools choose that sports funds are basically sufficient. The difference in satisfaction with sports funding in middle schools in the eastern and central regions is not obvious, and the satisfaction with sports funding in primary schools in the eastern region is higher than that in the central region. Judging from the amount of sports expenditures filled in by schools, 2000–3000 yuan per school year for primary schools and 4000–5000 yuan for middle schools are more common. Based on the calculation of 1,000 students in a school, the per capita sports expenditure is less than 10 yuan, which is very limited for sports training. This research will help to change the service concept and scientific decision-making and change the supply mode of sports public services. It will establish not only a vertical, complete, and horizontally smooth organizational structure and coordination mechanism but also a clear strategy for equalization of urban and rural sports public services.

International Perspectives of Prehospital and Hospital Trauma Services: A Literature Review

Background: Evidence suggests that reductions in the incidence in trauma observed in some countries are related to interventions including legislation around road and vehicle safety measures, public behaviour change campaigns, and changes in trauma response systems. This study aims to briefly review recent refereed and grey literature about prehospital and hospital trauma care services in different regions around the world and describe similarities and differences in identified systems to demonstrate the diversity of characteristics present. Methods: Articles published between 2000 and 2020 were retrieved from MEDLINE and EMBASE. Since detailed comparable information was lacking in the published literature, prehospital emergency service providers’ annual performance reports from selected example countries or regions were reviewed to obtain additional information about the performance of prehospital care. Results: The review retained 34 studies from refereed literature related to trauma systems in different regions. In the U.S. and Canada, the trauma care facilities consisted of five different levels of trauma centres ranging from Level I to Level IV and Level I to Level V, respectively. Hospital care and organisation in Japan is different from the U.S. model, with no dedicated trauma centres; however, patients with severe injury are transported to university hospitals’ emergency departments. Other similarities and differences in regional examples were observed. Conclusions: The refereed literature was dominated by research from developed countries such as Australia, Canada, and the U.S., which all have organised trauma systems. Many European countries have implemented trauma systems between the 1990s and 2000s; however, some countries, such as France and Greece, are still forming an integrated system. This review aims to encourage countries with immature trauma systems to consider the similarities and differences in approaches of other countries to implementing a trauma system.

The Spatial Distribution and Optimization of Medical and Health Land from the Perspective of Public Service Equalization: A Case Study of Urumqi City

From the two aspects of land quantity and spatial distribution, this article studies the existing problems and ideas for optimizing the supply of medical and health (M&amp;H) land for municipal units to promote an equal supply of urban public services. Method: The existing problems were explored with the help of the kernel density, the spatial gravity model and the buffer zone analysis method, and the key optimization areas of M&amp;H land under the trends of population flow were explored by constructing a suitability evaluation system for the natural, social and ecological elements. Results: The total amount of M&amp;H land in the study area was lower than the standard. The characteristics of land supply that support hospitals and primary medical care are different, which makes it difficult for the population in different regions to obtain services from the two types of medical facilities. The supply of both types of land has room for improvement. Conclusion: The effect of public M&amp;H supply is greatly affected by the factors of land supply, which directly causes the problem of uneven medical services in different regions. The land-use layout should be scientifically planned according to the characteristics of different regions.

COVID impacts on U.S. youth workforce system: challenges and opportunities

ABSTRACT Youth who are not engaged in school or work face many challenges as they transition into adulthood. In the United States, federal policy provides funding and oversight to a complex, community-based system of workforce development for this youth population, as well as adults with barriers to employment. The COVID-19 pandemic caused extensive disruption to this system, as well as the overall employment and education sectors. This study examines the impacts of COVID on the delivery of workforce services to the youth population. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 61 respondents involved in planning and delivery of services in different regions of the U.S. Key themes from the interviews included: challenges of operating during the pandemic, adaptations to these challenges, and fears for impacts on young people. Although greatly impacted by the pandemic, respondents reported several innovations but continuing concerns regarding effects on vulnerable youth and widening societal inequalities related to poverty and race. Based on these data, we offer several ideas for further development in policy and practice to learn from the experiences reported.

THE MEDIATING ROLE OF THE ANXIETY LEVEL IN THE EFFECT OF TRUSTING CO-WORKERS ON HELPING BEHAVIOURS TO CO-WORKERS DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The main purpose of this study is to determine the mediating role of the anxiety level in the effect of trusting co-workers on helping behaviours to co-workers during COVID-19 pandemic. Hospital-based cross-sectional research design was used in the study. The population of the study consisted of nurses working in four different public hospitals providing secondary health services in different regions of Istanbul. Convenience sampling method was preferred in the study. The data were collected by the researchers themselves using the online questionnaire technique. The total number of questionnaires that were evaluated and used in the analysis of the data is 527. SPSS 26 and AMOS 24 package programs were used in the analysis of the data. Descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, ANOVA test and structural equation modeling were applied to the data. The findings obtained with the structural equation analysis showed that the construct validity of the model was provided. The empirical result of the study revealed that the outbreak of COVID-19 increased the anxiety levels of nurses. In addition, it has been determined that the effect of nurses' trust towards each other on their helping behaviour towards each other is partially mediated by COVID-19 anxiety. The COVID-19 anxiety levels of the nurses, who acted with a high sense of trust in their colleagues, decreased their helping behaviour towards each other.

Different impacts of cancer types on cancer screening during COVID-19 pandemic in Taiwan

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly become a major challenge for global health care systems and affected other priorities such as the utilization of population-based cancer screening services. We sought to examine to what extent the COVID-19 pandemic has affected cancer screening utilization in Taiwan, even the use of inreach and outreach screening services for different types of cancer screening and different regions.MethodsUsing nationwide cervical, breast, colorectal and oral cancer screening data, the percentage changes in screening participants at inreach and outreach services were calculated and compared between January to April 2020 (COVID-19 pandemic) and January to April 2019.ResultsThe average percentage change declined from 15% to 40% for cervical, breast, and colorectal cancer screening, with a nearly 50% decline in oral cancer screening. There was a greater preference for breast and colorectal cancer screening outreach services, which had greater accessibility and declined less than inreach services in most regions. The screening utilization varied in different regions, especially in eastern Taiwan where the less convenient transportation and lower risk of COVID-19 transmission had a positive change on four types of cancer screening outreach services.ConclusionThe COVID-19 pandemic may have had an effect not only in the utilization of different types of cancer screening but also in the preference between inreach and outreach services, and even in variations in screening services in different regions.

Relationship between the Population Aging and the Supply of Services in Different Regions in Lithuania

An aging population is defined in the scientific literature as changes in the structural age composition of the population, which leads to growth in the population of those who are 60 years and older. The aging of population is a social and economic problem that needs to be understood and addressed. Aging of the population has a significant impact on national economies, as well as within individual regions of the country. The old age index has a significant impact on regional supply of services. It is worth stressing that in order to improve a community’s quality of life and reduce disparities between regions, it is necessary to continually assess the level of development and regional development opportunities. Evaluation of the regional socio-economic situation should be performed periodically, so that regional policy measures can be directed to the areas of greatest need.

Does the Equalization of Public Services Effect Regional Disparities in the Ratio of Investment to Consumption? Evidence From Provincial Level in China

Insufficient equalization of public services and coexistence of high investment and low consumption are two major dilemmas facing the high-quality development of China’s economy. This study first evaluated the level of equalization of public services by provincial panel data from 2013 to 2017. Then econometric models were constructed to investigate the effect of the equalization of public services on the regional disparities in the ratio of investment to consumption (IC). Results show that the overall level of equalization of public services in China is low and there are large regional differences. Average values of the relative level of equalization of public services show an increasing trend in order of the eastern, central, northeastern, and western regions. The ratio of IC in China also exhibits large regional differences. Public education significantly negatively affects the IC in China, and the effects exist in the eastern and central regions. The seven evaluation criteria of equalization of public services in different regions have different effects on the ratio of investment to consumption. Therefore, according to the characteristics of the relationship between the equalization of public services and the ratio of investment to consumption at the whole or regional scales, a reasonable pathway should be selected to improve the current situation of high investment and low consumption and promote high-quality and sustainable development of the Chinese economy under the new normal.

Accessibility to Non-COVID Health Services in the World During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Review.

Background: COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV2 has seriously impacted the global economy. Medical facilities around the world were not prepared for the enormous challenges posed by the growing number of patients each day, the shortage of personal protective equipment, and insufficient numbers of medical staff. Governments have tried to counteract the impact of the pandemic, but the measures taken have not always been sufficient to maintain access to and quality of health services at the same level as before the pandemic. The disruption of health services has resulted in more and more research reports from different parts of the world on the accessibility of health services during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methodology: This review article presents 21 selected scientific studies on access to health services in different regions of the world. Articles were found in PubMed, GoogleScholar, Medline, and ScienceDirect databases, then grouped, and significant data were extracted from each article. The results were summarized in a table.Results: The range of limited health services included a variety of specialties, including primary care, psychiatry, orthopedics, cardiology, neurosurgery, and more. Methods used in the studies were based on retrospective analysis or on the subjective assessment of patients in the form of a questionnaire or interview. Most authors claimed a decrease in accessibility to health services during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period, including a decrease in planned surgeries, doctor appointments, patient admission to hospital or ER, and access to medicines. Additionally, some authors observed an increase in the mortality rate. One of the few medical services that have expanded rapidly during the pandemic was online appointments.Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic has most certainly affected the accessibility of health services worldwide. Lessons should be learned to prevent inaccessibility to medical services, especially as experts predict another wave of COVID-19 cases.

Impact of county-scale land use change on the value of ecosystem services: A case study in Nanping, Fujian, China

With the changing behavior of land use by explosive population growth, the ecological environment is constantly disturbed and destroyed by humans, and the value of ecosystem services is obviously degraded. After the introduction of the national new-type urbanization plan, counties have become the key areas to promote new-type urbanization, and county land use is exceptionally active. Therefore, it is especially urgent to grasp the impact of county land use changes on ecosystem service values. Based on remote sensing satellite image interpretation to obtain county land use classification data, the changes of ecosystem service values in County between 1995 and 2015 were thoroughly explored. The research results show that the total value of ecosystem services has increased in most regions during the 20 years, among which, the service value of Shunchang County has increased most significantly. In terms of the service values of different land use types in each region, woodland is the main contributor to ecological services in different regions. From different time periods, Jian’ou City had the highest value of woodland ecosystem services in 1995 and 2015. In contrast, Songxi County had a lower value of services for each ecosystem type during 20 years.

Elderly Users’ Satisfaction with Public Transport in Thailand Using Different Importance Performance Analysis Approaches

Due to the rapid increase in population and the change in age structure toward the elderly, the phenomenon of societal ageing is being witnessed in many countries. The elderly travel less than the adult population due to decreasing mobility with an increasing age. In this study, we aimed to analyze the expectations and satisfaction of public transport users in Thailand using traditional importance performance analysis (IPA), gap analysis, and IPA integrated with competitor performance. We aimed to explain the differences in the analysis results produced by the three methods. The data were obtained from surveying 2250 elderly and 450 non-elderly adults. This study presents guidelines for improving the public transport service quality in Thailand to meet user needs. The results of this research showed that each approach provides its own distinctive aspects and theoretical differences, which lead to different interpretations. The results from the three approaches showed that equipment that increases safety for public transportation service users is an important factor for all elderly passengers that must be improved. Public transportation services in different regions should be developed to provide more reliable and regular services.

Air transportation, population density and temperature predict the spread of COVID-19 in Brazil.

There is evidence that COVID-19, the disease caused by the betacoronavirus SARS-CoV-2, is sensitive to environmental conditions. However, such conditions often correlate with demographic and socioeconomic factors at larger spatial extents, which could confound this inference. We evaluated the effect of meteorological conditions (temperature, solar radiation, air humidity and precipitation) on 292 daily records of cumulative number of confirmed COVID-19 cases across the 27 Brazilian capital cities during the 1st month of the outbreak, while controlling for an indicator of the number of tests, the number of arriving flights, population density, proportion of elderly people and average income. Apart from increasing with time, the number of confirmed cases was mainly related to the number of arriving flights and population density, increasing with both factors. However, after accounting for these effects, the disease was shown to be temperature sensitive: there were more cases in colder cities and days, and cases accumulated faster at lower temperatures. Our best estimate indicates that a 1 °C increase in temperature has been associated with a decrease in confirmed cases of 8%. The quality of the data and unknowns limit the analysis, but the study reveals an urgent need to understand more about the environmental sensitivity of the disease to predict demands on health services in different regions and seasons.
