Individuals from all of society, especially minority groups, feel that they are accepted and they show themselves in a way in the public space. Even though the perception and usage of public space have changed in time, people still feel free themselves in these areas. However, ‘terrorism’, which is a reality in today's world, is one of the cases which pose danger to the public spaces. Thus, the image of these areas has changed from “the areas where individuals they feel freer” to “the areas where people are vulnerable to many potential attacks”. This study tells you how the public perception has changed over time and examine the intended use of the public due to these changes. Terrorist activities increased all of the World and public spaces of the individual in the face of this reality, perception and Jane Jacobs, urban life and public relations with the charm of the terrorist phenomenon is one of the main problems the 21st century in the context of views on security are discussed. Also in this report, in order to provide a team recommendation for safe public space taking into account the author's views on security was available. For this purpose, the metropolis of Istanbul is selected as the study area were interviewed and the people living in Istanbul with internet environment. At the end of the 90s until today has changed the perception of how the public and in the public domain when individuals are discussed how they use.展开更多

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the HPV test results from January 1, 2024, to November 30, 2024, at Beiliu Maternal and Child Health Hospital. We statistically analyzed the positive rates of different HPV genotypes and the co-infection status of multiple genotypes. Results: A total of 7558 individuals were tested, with 1103 positive cases identified, resulting in a positivity rate of 14.59%. Among these, HPV type 52 had the highest positive rate, accounting for 18.47%. The co-infection analysis showed that there were 788 cases with single genotype positivity, 236 with double genotype positivity, and 58 with triple genotype positivity, while cases with multiple genotypes simultaneously positive were relatively rare. Conclusion: The HPV infection rate among women of appropriate age in Beiliu City is relatively high, especially for high-risk HPV types. To reduce the future incidence of cervical cancer, it is recommended to enhance health education and vaccination efforts for this population.展开更多

文摘Teenage pregnancy has been acknowledged as a global public health concern,especially in low-and middle-income nations[1].This is predominantly because teenagers are more likely to experience pregnancy complications(viz.anemia,obstructed labour,etc.),higher rates of maternal mortality,and neonatal complications,including mortality[1,2].It is not unusual that many teen mothers have to experience exclusion from their families and communities,which limits access to quality healthcare services and is a major reason for emotional stress and mental health problems[2].
文摘BACKGROUND The coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)outbreak lasted several months,having started in December 2019.This study aimed to report the impacts of various factors on the depression levels of the general public and ascertain how emotional measures could be affected by psychosocial factors during the COVID-19 pandemic.AIM To investigate the depression levels of the general public in China during the COVID-19 pandemic.METHODS A total of 2001 self-reported questionnaires about Beck Depression Inventory(BDI)were collected on August 22,2022 via the website.Each questionnaire included four levels of depression and other demographic information.The BDI scores and incidences of different depression levels were compared between various groups of respondents.χ2 analysis and the two-tailed t-test were used to assess categorical and continuous data,respectively.Multiple linear regressions and logistic regressions were employed for correlation analysis.RESULTS The averaged BDI score in this study was higher than that for the non-epidemic periods,as reported in previous studies.Even higher BDI scores and incidences of moderate and severe depression were recorded for people who were quarantined for suspected COVID-19 infection,compared to the respondents who were not quarantined.The participants who did not take protective measures were associated with higher BDI scores than those who made efforts to keep themselves relatively safer.Similarly,the people who did not return to work had higher BDI scores compared to those managed to.A significant association existed between the depression levels of the subgroups and each of the factors,except gender and location of residence.However,quarantine was the most relative predictor for depression levels,followed by failure to take preventive measures and losing a partner,either through divorce or death.CONCLUSION Based on these data,psychological interventions for the various subpopulations in the general public can be implemented during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.Other countries can also use the data as a reference.
文摘Human immunodeficiency virus continues to pose a severe global and national public health threat.In Pakistan,human immunodeficiency virus incidence has risen alarmingly,with over 9700 new cases reported in the first nine months of 2024 alone.Transmission is fueled by unsafe sex,needle-sharing,and systemic healthcare lapses,including unscreened transfusions and reused instruments.Sociocultural stigma,limited awareness,and poor treatment adherence especially in rural and underserved areas compound the crisis.Men,transgender individuals,and children represent increasingly affected groups.The role of international bodies such as World Health Organization,United Nations Development Programme,and United Nations Women has been critical in expanding community-based care and education programs.Effective biomedical tools like preexposure prophylaxis and post-exposure prophylaxis offer preventive pro-mise but remain underutilized.Pakistan urgently needs an integrated,multispectral response i.e.,enhancing surveillance,ensuring antiretroviral therapy access,improving healthcare worker training,and promoting harm reduction and eliminating certain stigmas to control the epidemic and prevent further escalation.
基金This paper is a phased research outcome of the 2023 Beijing International Studies University Regional and Country Studies Special Research Project titled“Reading Promotion in Nordic Public Libraries and Its Implications for China’s National Reading Development”(Project No.QYGB23A003).
文摘Under the background of accelerated global cultural exchange and information dissemination,reading has become a crucial component of public cultural services.Public libraries in Nordic countries(Denmark,Sweden,Norway,Finland,Iceland)stand out by adhering to the core philosophy of“universal sharing and equal reading”,integrating reading promotion into national strategies,and constructing extensive service networks through sound legal guarantees and adequate financial support.This study identifies four key strategies for universality and equality in Nordic public libraries:covering all age groups,eliminating group differences,integrating digital and physical resources,and ensuring the right to read through legislative,financial,and other institutional support.These provide a reference for global public cultural services.
