文摘The Global Health Network Conference 2022 addressed the critical need for expanded health research capabilities in low-and middle-income countries and low-resource settings,particularly in light of global health threats such as pandemics and climate change.This deficit often results in insufficient research to inform effective health interventions.Held in Cape Town,South Africa,the conference brought together a diverse group of health researchers,practitioners,and policymakers from over 50 countries to explore how health research can be embedded into every healthcare setting.The conference emphasized fostering leadership,integrating research findings into policy and practice,enabling research in all healthcare settings,and engaging communities through the research process.This article collates and considers the key findings and recommendations from the eight sessions.These sessions were designed to follow the research cycle,from setting the question to taking the findings into practice,with a focus on capacity building,data-driven decision-making,and tackling gender and societal disparities.Our aim is that by reporting these outputs we can share valuable experience and insights that can help research teams in their studies and through doing so,spark a shift in global health research through this remarkable collaborative effort in knowledge and methods sharing that continues through the Global Health Network community.The recommendations derived from this conference align with the World Health Organization's strategies for reinforcing health research systems and showcase the importance of empowering low-and middle-income countries to conduct research that addresses their unique health challenges.By advancing global health research through collaboration,innovation,and community involvement,the conference laid the groundwork for a comprehensive framework that supports the Sustainable Development Goals and promotes equitable healthcare for all.
文摘Background:A significant challenge regarding notable historical figures is determining the accuracy of the words and actions attributed to them with the limited available evidence,when their biographers have presented a biased life assessment.Lauded as a founding suffragette,the first female school principal,and the first white female practicing physician in Canada,Dr.Emily Stowe did not help historians.She destroyed her records,leaving her life story to be told by her daughter,who portrayed her as a heroine–a view that has persisted since the start of the 20th century.To improve the accuracy of assessing the life of Emily Stowe,as much information as possible about Stowe must be collected and interpreted.Methods:Presented is a narrative research method for analyzing historical figures that examines 22 life-changing events in the life of Stowe by answering six types of questions about each event:when,where,who,what,how,and why.Results:This narrative research,representing a psychoanalytic research process,finds that much of the repeated story of Stowe is either exaggerated or likely false.Conclusion:Following the example of Emily Stowe,this unique method is applicable for improving the historical accuracy in assessing the lives of other notable figures.It represents a method extendable to those currently alive,outside the public eye,searching to develop their own narrative.
文摘As a key sector in advancing China’s“carbon neutrality”goal,the machinery manufacturing industry has achieved remarkable development in recent years.Against this backdrop,the scientific and objective evaluation of the financial performance of machinery manufacturing enterprises has become a pressing issue in financial research.This topic is not only crucial for optimizing enterprise management and improving operational efficiency but also essential for enhancing overall industry performance and promoting sustainable development.This paper first introduces the concept of financial performance,followed by an analysis of related financial performance evaluation theories.It then focuses on the application of the entropy method in evaluating the financial performance of machinery manufacturing enterprises,detailing its analytical steps.Finally,a financial performance evaluation index system is constructed based on four dimensions:profitability,solvency,operational efficiency,and growth potential.

文摘In this paper,we consider the maximal positive definite solution of the nonlinear matrix equation.By using the idea of Algorithm 2.1 in ZHANG(2013),a new inversion-free method with a stepsize parameter is proposed to obtain the maximal positive definite solution of nonlinear matrix equation X+A^(*)X|^(-α)A=Q with the case 0<α≤1.Based on this method,a new iterative algorithm is developed,and its convergence proof is given.Finally,two numerical examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
