Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) booster doses decrease infection transmission and disease severity. This study aimed to assess the acceptance of COVID-19 vaccine booster doses in low, middle, and high-income countries of the East Mediterranean Region (EMR) and its determinants using the health belief model (HBM). In addition, we aimed to identify the causes of booster dose rejection and the main so
OBJECTIVE: To investigate potential associations between individual and country-level factors and medicalization of birth in 15 European countries during the COVID-19 pandemic.METHODS: Online anonymous survey of women who gave birth in 2020-2021. Multivariable multilevel logistic regression models estimating associations between indicators of medicalization (cesarean, instrumental vaginal birth [I
This review presents how the boreal and the tropical forests affect the atmosphere, its chemical composition, its function, and further how that affects the climate and, in return, the ecosystems through feedback processes. Observations from key tower sites standing out due to their long-term comprehensive observations: The Amazon Tall Tower Observatory in Central Amazonia, the Zotino Tall Tower O
Objective To describe the incidence and burden of illness at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, which was organised with strict COVID-19 countermeasures. Methods Daily illnesses were recorded via the web-based injury and illness surveillance system (teams with their own medical staff; n=81), and local polyclinic services (teams without their own medical staff; n=81). Illness proportion, incidence an
I argue that Lisa Shapiro’s rational reconstruction of Descartes’s provisional moral code in terms of a broad conception of morality supplies us with an interpretative framework that make historiographical sense of the reception of Descartes’s moral philosophy in an Anglophone context on three occasions: the appeal to Descartes made by Henry More, Henry Sidgwick’s abrupt dismissal, and the ensuing
The updated Consolidated Health Economics Evaluation Reporting Standards, CHEERS 2022, is considered the most comprehensive publication to assess reporting quality of economic evaluations (EEs) incorporating criteria of trial- and model-based studies, including emerging methods. However, it holds multiple criteria per item without clear decision rules on minimum requirements for complete reporting
Forest Canopy Height (FCH) is one of the key variables for understanding forest structure distribution and growth. Remotely sensed data such as the NASA Ice, Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) ATL08 provides accurate FCH measurements; however, its point-based nature limits spatial continuity. This study addresses the challenge by generating a continuous FCH map over the West Usambara
Engraved ochres and ostrich eggshells from the South African Blombos Cave and Diepkloof Rock Shelter are among the earliest expressions of human symbolic behavior. They appear to document a continuous practice of mark-making across ∼40,000 years. During this time, the engraved markings change from simpler, unstructured patterns to more complex markings such as cross-hatchings. Previous work examin
Objective: Childhood stunting is a significant health issue in Rwanda, particularly within the Northern Province. While demographic and socio-economic factors have been more extensively studied, the impact of environmental and climatic factors on stunting prevalence has received less attention. This study aimed to determine if these factors could be used to better predict localized variations in h
Purpose: Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among women, and digital mammography plays a key role in screening and early detection. The radiation dose on mammographic exams directly influences image quality and radiologists’ performance. We evaluate the impact of an image restoration pipeline—designed to simulate higher dose acquisitions—on the detectability of mic
Aims:Research on the role of art in alleviating mental health problems has increased dramatically. However, it remains unclear whether mental health benefits of the arts are the same across different social contexts of arts participation. The aim of the study is to investigate associations between two modes of arts participation, solitary and group-based, and psychological wellbeing (12-item gener
This study employs an approach to policy as discourse and examines the construction of gender equality in the EU Gender Action Plan II. Drawing from the poststructural premise that discourses affect how issues are being thought about and acted upon, the study seeks to scrutinize how gender equality is attributed with meaning by applying Carol Bacchi’s analytical methodology What’s the problem repr

We investigated how legacies of land use and climate affected the microbial use of organic matter (OM) along a tropical climate gradient in Ethiopia. Four levels of land-use intensity ranging from croplands to pristine forests were assessed along a gradient from cool and moist high altitude (MAT = 16°C, MAP = 2,200 mm) to hot and dry lowland sites (MAT = 20°C, MAP = 1,050 mm). We resolved the biom
