“I’ll take them another day”: A qualitative study exploring the socio-behavioral complexities of childhood vaccination in urban poor settlements

Plos.org 
En

by Judy Gichuki, Ben Ngoye, Francis Wafula

Despite improvement over recent decades, childhood vaccination uptake remains a concern across countries. The World Health Organization observed that over 25 million children missed out on one or more vaccines in 2021, with urban poor and other marginalized groups being the most affected. Given the higher risk of disease transmission and vaccine-preventable diseases (VPD) outbreaks across densely populated urban slums, identifying effective interventions... Читать дальше...

Viral load suppression and its predictor among HIV seropositive people who receive enhanced adherence counseling at public health institutions in Bahir Dar, Northwest Ethiopia. Retrospective follow-up study

En

by Minyichil Birhanu Belete, Abebayehu Bitew, Kebadnew Mulatu

Background

For those HIV seropositive people with high viral loads, the World Health Organization recommends more counseling before changing ART regimens. A high viral load can lead to increased HIV transmission and lower survival rates. Clients with viral loads above 1000 copies/mL should receive enhanced adherence counseling for 3–6 months before switching. Despite enhanced adherence counseling programs, most countries struggle with viral load suppression. Читать дальше...

Bond performance between hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete and BFRP bars under freeze-thaw cycle

Plos.org 
En

by Yanming Su

This study applied the pull-out test to examine the influence of freeze-thaw cycles and hybrid fiber incorporation on the bond performance between BFRP bars and hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete. The bond-slip curves were fitted by the existing bond-slip constitutive model, and then the bond strength was predicted by a BP neural network. The results indicated that the failure mode changed from pull-out to splitting for the BFRP bar ordinary concrete specimens when the freeze-thaw cycles exceeded 50... Читать дальше...



Association between executive functions and COMT Val108/158Met polymorphism among healthy younger and older adults: A preliminary study

Plos.org 
En

by Zoltan Apa, Jessica Gilsoul, Vinciane Dideberg, Fabienne Collette

Background and objectives

Genetic variability in the dopaminergic system could contribute to age-related impairments in executive control. In this study, we examined whether genetic polymorphism for catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT Val158Met) is related to performance on updating, shifting and inhibition tasks.

Methods

We administered a battery of executive tasks assessing updating, shifting and inhibition functions... Читать дальше...

En

by Marthe Rys, Eveline Schollaert, Greet Van Hoye

Employer branding has emerged as a strategic imperative in the quest for talent. However, existing research has predominantly explored stable periods, overlooking the possible transformative impact of crises and the crucial role that HR managers play in crafting internal employer branding strategies. As such, this research addresses this by scrutinizing internal employer branding during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conducting in-depth interviews with 37 Belgian HR managers... Читать дальше...

Determinants of low birth weight among newborns delivered in public hospitals of North Shewa Zone, Amhara region, Ethiopia: A case-control study (2023)

En

by Beniyas Minda, Girma Bekele, Solomon Hailemeskel, Abera Lambebo

Background

Low birth weight (LBW), defined as a birth weight less than 2500 g, irrespective of gestational age, poses a significant health concern for newborns. Despite efforts, the incidence of LBW in sub-Saharan Africa has remained stagnant over the past decade, warranting attention from healthcare providers, policymakers, and researchers.

Objective

This study aimed to identify factors associated with LBW among... Читать дальше...

Advancing 100m sprint performance prediction: A machine learning approach to velocity curve modeling and performance correlation

Plos.org 
En

by Chung Kit Tam, Zai-Fu Yao

This study presents a novel approach to modeling the velocity-time curve in 100m sprinting by integrating machine learning algorithms. It critically addresses the limitations of traditional speed models, which often require extensive and intricate data collection, by proposing a more accessible and accurate method using fewer variables. The research utilized data from various international track events from 1987 to 2019. Two machine learning models, Random Forest (RF) and Neural Network (NN)... Читать дальше...

Effects of elastic band resistance training on the physical and mental health of elderly individuals: A mixed methods systematic review

by Aiying Li, Yan Sun, Meng Li, Dongyang Wang, Xiaofeng Ma

Objectives

Elastic band resistance training in elderly individuals can improve physical fitness and promote mental health in addition to other benefits. This systematic review aimed to review, summarize, and evaluate quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methodological studies on the use of elastic band resistance training in elderly individuals, and to investigate the influence of elastic band resistance training on the physical and mental health of elderly individuals...

The resolution of face perception varies systematically across the visual field

Plos.org 
En

by Anisa Y. Morsi, Valérie Goffaux, John A. Greenwood

Visual abilities tend to vary predictably across the visual field–for simple low-level stimuli, visibility is better along the horizontal vs. vertical meridian and in the lower vs. upper visual field. In contrast, face perception abilities have been reported to show either distinct or entirely idiosyncratic patterns of variation in peripheral vision, suggesting a dissociation between the spatial properties of low- and higher-level vision.

Driving force of value reversal in Chinese overleveraged firms: The mechanism and path of private placement

Plos.org 
En

by Xin Song, Xiaodi Liu, Huiyu Chen

To stimulate economic growth, China has launched multiple economic stimulus plans in recent years, intensifying corporate debt financing and subsequently elevating the leverage levels. Addressing and effectively reducing the leverage levels of our country’s enterprises has emerged as a pressing issue in the trajectory of our economic development. This paper primarily investigates the drivers, pathways, and mechanisms for reversing the over-leveraged values of enterprises. Читать дальше...
