Methods: From August 2022 to April 2023, an investigation was conducted among urban and rural elderly individuals aged over 75 years in Tangshan City using the Activities of Daily Living Scale, the Revised Community Elderly Fall Risk Assessment Tool, and the Loneliness Scale. Results: The study included 750 urban and 740 rural elderly individuals aged over 75 years. Matrix analysis revealed a significant proportion of fall safety care needs across various daily life and spiritual care requirements. Multiple factor analysis indicated that advanced age, lower education levels, a greater number of chronic diseases, and lower levels of family and social support were associated with higher care demands among the elderly in both urban and rural areas. These differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The elderly in urban and rural areas demonstrate a high demand for fall safety care. Particular attention should be given to individuals with lower education levels, those who are widowed, those with multiple chronic diseases, and those with low levels of family and social support to better meet the diverse care needs of this population.展开更多

Despite compulsory Chinese requirements (Level 4 HSK), a non-immersive environment often leads to motivation issues. Findings reveal that students perceive their needs as phased, homogeneous yet diverse, and not universal. Daily and professional communication demands, positive teacher-student relationships, and successful language application drive deep learning. Key strategies are proposed, including enhancing teacher quality, developing structured materials that bridge general and medical Chinese, implementing scenario-based teaching that prioritizes speaking/listening, and optimizing the curriculum for continuous exposure and a balanced workload. The ultimate goal is to cultivate competent communicators for medical practice and daily life in China.展开更多

Then, we revised the subject category of questions to analyze popular image needs. In addition, we conducted content analysis and descriptive statistical analysis to identify image-seeking motivations and image features used in the requests in terms of the two theories of image feature classification and image use. Findings： Among the 893 questions, the image searches for entertainment accounted for 47.59%, more than the searches for professional knowledge （37.40%） and personal daily activities （15.01%）. With regard to motivation, over 60% of the questions were identified as used for learning, which is well over the proportion of questions used for illustrating. Thus, these questions requested images as sources of data rather than sources of objects. Non-visual features （47.58%） were used most frequently in question descriptions, slightly higher than semantic features （45.96%）. Users who lacked domain knowledge tended to use general words rather than specific words to describe their requests. However, not many users used syntactic featm＇es when seeking images. Nevertheless, most of the users had a fairly clear idea about what the target image should look like. Research limitations： We studied only one question and answer （Q＆A） community using five pairs of simulated keywords. Practical implications： The findings should be helpful in strengthening the functionality of Q＆A systems, promoting the theories of image feature classification, and shedding light on information literacy training.Originality/value： This study is one of the first research efforts that discusses Chinese Web users＇ daily image searches and querying behavior in natural language in a Q＆A community, which should help to further the understanding of the principles of image-seeking behavior among Chinese Web users.展开更多

China is currently experiencing a social and technological transformation of great magnitude in terms of metamorphosing itself from a traditional society to one that is driven by information technologies. Our research study, taking this proposition into account, did a questionnaire survey on 954 library information users at five major public libraries. This research study has discovered that the information needs of public library users today reflect some of the peculiar characteristics of their society in changing times which is driven largely by the rapid development and application of new information technologies. It shows that there is a newly added demand emphasis on certain categories of library resources and services by the Chinese reading public. Our research findings have identified such needs basically in the following five functional areas of public libraries, namely, 1) Increased demands for economic resources, 2) rising expectations for more effective and efficient library services, 3) a convenient location and an amicable environment congenial to learning, 4) a suitable place for engaging in intellectual dialogues and in socialization, and 5) a few other technological amenities and information technology-based digital resources and facilities in addition to a rich repository of library materials in print format. Finally, our paper concludes its discussion with a few observation remarks about the changing trend of public libraries' visions, missions and operations vis-à-vis a contextual background of the ever heightened public expectations for getting quality information services in a timely manner in order for them to function effectively in an information-oriented society such as that of ours today.展开更多

Oral health status significantly impacts overall health and quality of life. Barriers to dental care affect children with special needs. This study evaluates the oral health status and treatment requirements of people with special needs. Methodology: This descriptive cross-sectional study in Kumasi, Ghana examined oral health status among people, 121 children with special needs over two months, in June-July 2022. Dental caries, periodontal changes, malocclusion, and trauma were assessed. The data was analyzed using SPSS 20.0. Results: The oral health status among people with special needs in this study was generally moderate, with a range from very good to very poor. The prevalence of dental caries was 37%, with a mean DMFT score of 2.82. Periodontal health showed unsatisfactory indicators such as mobile teeth, poor gingival health, high plaque scores, and the presence of halitosis. Conclusion: This descriptive study aimed to provide baseline data on the oral health status of special needs students in Kumasi, addressing the lack of knowledge in this area. It highlighted the importance of dental care in maintaining good oral health and overall well-being in individuals with special needs. Coordinated efforts by dental professionals are needed to provide dental health education and preventive interventions for these children.展开更多

文摘Background:Fundamental internal factors like self-construal and its influence on problematic online game use(POGU)remain underexplored.Hence,this study aims to investigate the effects of independent and interdependent self-construal on POGU,with the mediation of basic psychological needs satisfaction.Methods:The study surveyed 418 Chinese junior high school students(50.24%male;Meanage=12.68,SD=0.65),assessing their levels of self-construal,basic psychological needs satisfaction,and POGU.Aparallelmediationmodelwas tested.Results:The findings showed that autonomy and competence needs satisfaction fully mediated the negative impact of independent self-construal on POGU(B=−0.052,p<0.05;B=−0.094,p<0.01,respectively),while interdependent self-construal and relatedness needs satisfaction did not have a significant effect on POGU(B=0.005,p=0.758).Additionally,while independent self-construal positively correlated with the satisfaction of all three psychological needs,interdependent self-construal only positively associated with relatedness need satisfaction(B=0.152,p<0.001).Conclusions:The study demonstrates that independent self-construal serves as a protective factor against POGU,mediated by autonomy and competence needs satisfaction,while the effects of interdependent self-construal are more complex.These insights highlight the need for tailored interventions that promote adaptive self-construal and psychological needs satisfaction among Chinese adolescents to prevent POGU.
文摘This mixed-methods study presents a needs analysis to investigate the workplace English language needs of medical students in China who are learning and using English as non-native speakers,the circumstances in which the various language skills are required,and stakeholders’perceived workplace preparedness in the light of language-related instructional provision during medical training.A leading university in China was chosen as the study case.Altogether,294 online questionnaires were collected from undergraduate medical students,graduate medical students and recent graduates working as physicians,and 33 semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with undergraduate medical students,graduate medical students,recent graduates working as physicians,medical teachers,English for Medical Purposes(EMP)teachers,program leaders and English-speaking patients.Results showed that in addition to physicians experiencing pressure to publish scientific articles internationally,participants attached greater importance to physicians’oral English communication ability,especially in undertaking clinical consultations in English,working with medical interpreters or acting as ad hoc interpreters.The participants also reported a lack of relevant EMP courses or trainings available at this university.Given these communicative events that physicians face in China,EMP courses need to include training in these specific areas.
文摘Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma(IVLBCL),a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma,is classified as an independent subtype of extranodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL)in the 2008 World Health Organization(WHO)Classification(Turner et al.,2010).The 5th edition of the World Health Organization(WHO 2022)classification of hematolymphoid tumors retains this subtype(Alaggio et al.,2022).IVLBCL,which is characterized by neoplastic lymphocyte proliferation within the lumen of small blood vessels,tends to invade organs,such as the nervous system,skin,bone marrow(BM),and lung(D'Angelo et al.,2019;Satoh et al.,2019;Vasquez et al.,2019;Fukami et al.,2020).

文摘Purpose： In order to further the understanding of Chinese Web users＇ image-seeking behavior, this study explores the kinds of images that Chinese Web users seek online and how they express their requests.Design/methodology/approach： We used five pairs of simulated keywords to collect 893 image-seeking questions from Baidu Zhidao. Then, we revised the subject category of questions to analyze popular image needs. In addition, we conducted content analysis and descriptive statistical analysis to identify image-seeking motivations and image features used in the requests in terms of the two theories of image feature classification and image use. Findings： Among the 893 questions, the image searches for entertainment accounted for 47.59%, more than the searches for professional knowledge （37.40%） and personal daily activities （15.01%）. With regard to motivation, over 60% of the questions were identified as used for learning, which is well over the proportion of questions used for illustrating. Thus, these questions requested images as sources of data rather than sources of objects. Non-visual features （47.58%） were used most frequently in question descriptions, slightly higher than semantic features （45.96%）. Users who lacked domain knowledge tended to use general words rather than specific words to describe their requests. However, not many users used syntactic featm＇es when seeking images. Nevertheless, most of the users had a fairly clear idea about what the target image should look like. Research limitations： We studied only one question and answer （Q＆A） community using five pairs of simulated keywords. Practical implications： The findings should be helpful in strengthening the functionality of Q＆A systems, promoting the theories of image feature classification, and shedding light on information literacy training.Originality/value： This study is one of the first research efforts that discusses Chinese Web users＇ daily image searches and querying behavior in natural language in a Q＆A community, which should help to further the understanding of the principles of image-seeking behavior among Chinese Web users.

文摘Public libraries should be vigilant and responsive to the ever changing information needs of their clientele functioning in a society undergoing through rapid change due to technological innovations. China is currently experiencing a social and technological transformation of great magnitude in terms of metamorphosing itself from a traditional society to one that is driven by information technologies. Our research study, taking this proposition into account, did a questionnaire survey on 954 library information users at five major public libraries. This research study has discovered that the information needs of public library users today reflect some of the peculiar characteristics of their society in changing times which is driven largely by the rapid development and application of new information technologies. It shows that there is a newly added demand emphasis on certain categories of library resources and services by the Chinese reading public. Our research findings have identified such needs basically in the following five functional areas of public libraries, namely, 1) Increased demands for economic resources, 2) rising expectations for more effective and efficient library services, 3) a convenient location and an amicable environment congenial to learning, 4) a suitable place for engaging in intellectual dialogues and in socialization, and 5) a few other technological amenities and information technology-based digital resources and facilities in addition to a rich repository of library materials in print format. Finally, our paper concludes its discussion with a few observation remarks about the changing trend of public libraries' visions, missions and operations vis-à-vis a contextual background of the ever heightened public expectations for getting quality information services in a timely manner in order for them to function effectively in an information-oriented society such as that of ours today.

文摘Background: The most prevalent non-communicable disease worldwide is oral health-related disease, with dental caries and periodontal conditions being common. Oral health status significantly impacts overall health and quality of life. Barriers to dental care affect children with special needs. This study evaluates the oral health status and treatment requirements of people with special needs. Methodology: This descriptive cross-sectional study in Kumasi, Ghana examined oral health status among people, 121 children with special needs over two months, in June-July 2022. Dental caries, periodontal changes, malocclusion, and trauma were assessed. The data was analyzed using SPSS 20.0. Results: The oral health status among people with special needs in this study was generally moderate, with a range from very good to very poor. The prevalence of dental caries was 37%, with a mean DMFT score of 2.82. Periodontal health showed unsatisfactory indicators such as mobile teeth, poor gingival health, high plaque scores, and the presence of halitosis. Conclusion: This descriptive study aimed to provide baseline data on the oral health status of special needs students in Kumasi, addressing the lack of knowledge in this area. It highlighted the importance of dental care in maintaining good oral health and overall well-being in individuals with special needs. Coordinated efforts by dental professionals are needed to provide dental health education and preventive interventions for these children.
文摘Background:There are increasing concerns about the mental health needs of international students.Previous studies report that international students experience additional challenges and higher levels of stress compared to domestic students.This integrative review aimed to identify perceived stressors,coping strategies and factors that contributed to accessing mental health services of international students.Methods:A systematic search was performed between January 2010 and December 2023 using PubMed,CINAHL,ProQuest,the Cochrane Library,Scopus and PsycINFO databases.A manual search was also performed that included reference lists of included articles;data was extracted and reviewed by three reviewers.A total of 21 studies were included in this review with a total of 4442 international students recruited,with ages between 17 to 43 years.Nineteen studies reported international students’gender,there were more females(n=2205)than males(n=1022).Ethnicity was reported in 18 studies.They included Asia,Europe,Latin America,North America,South America,Africa,the Middle East and Pacific Islands.This review adopted Whittemore and Knafl’s five-stage approach,with specific steps for problem identification,literature search,data evaluation,data analysis,and presentation.Results:The Health Belief Model was used to explain relationships among independent and dependent variables and guide the findings of this review.Three identified progressive themes emerged including Theme 1:understanding cultural variations with perceived stress;Theme 2:coping strategies in dealing with stress and challenges in the new environment;and Theme 3:perceived threats and stress affecting how international students perceived barriers and benefits to access counselling support services and mental health services.This integrative review presents an overview of mental health needs and factors contributing to the mental health and well-being of international students via the inclusion of studies with different designs,providing an in-depth understanding of the study phenomenon.The findings of this review may help university health providers,mental health professionals,academic institutions and policymakers better understand the multifaceted needs of international students.Conclusion:This review demonstrates the importance of increased cross-cultural interactions between international students and domestic student counterparts to enhance belongingness and connection to host countries.This may facilitate adaptation to new living and learning environments.It is crucial academic institutions offer programs that can be effectively implemented and sustained to meet the unmet mental health needs of international students.University orientation programs,student counselling and health services may integrate cultural events,social support groups,leadership programs and resilience models of acculturation to promote mental health and well-being among international students.While these studies show promising results,there is a need for further robust evaluative studies to develop culturally sensitive mental health promotion programs for international students.
