Physical Education's Role in Public Health

The 1991 paper, "Physical education's role in public health" described the importance of physical education in addressing public health problems. On its 20th anniversary, this article reviews accomplishments in improving the health impact o...

Evidence-Based Public Health: A Fundamental Concept for Public Health Practice

Despite the many accomplishments of public health, a greater attention to evidence-based approaches is warranted. This article reviews the concepts of evidence-based public health (EBPH), on which formal discourse originated about a decade ...

Hypertension and diabetes patients’ perspective of challenges and their coping mechanisms in Mukono and Buikwe districts in Uganda – a qualitative study

Background: In sub-Saharan Africa, the burden of non-communicable diseases is steadily rising amidst a high prevalence of communicable diseases stretching the healthcare system. This study explored hypertension and diabetes patients’ perspe...

Study on PM2.5 pollution and the mortality due to lung cancer in China based on geographic weighted regression model

Abstract Background PM2.5 has become a major component of air pollution in China and has led to a series of health problems. The mortality rate caused by lung cancer has reached the point where it cannot be ignored in China. Air pollution i...

Trauma is a public health issue

Exposure to trauma is pervasive in societies worldwide and is associated with substantial costs to the individual and society, making it a significant global public health concern. We present evidence for trauma as a public health issue by ...

Electrorefining behavior of a multicomponent copper alloy derived from waste printed circuit boards

Efficient recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is a major priority for the circular economy and sustainable resource management. This study proposes and investigates an integrated mechanical, pyrometallurgical, and ...

A DFT Study on the Electronic Structures and Conducting Properties of Rubrene and its Derivatives in Organic Field-Effect Transistors

Abstract We systematically studied the electronic structures and conducting properties of rubrene and its derivatives reported recently, and disscussed the influences of electron-withdrawing groups and chemical oxidation on the reorganizati...

CoCO3 from one-step micro-emulsion method as electrode materials for Faradaic capacitors

Abstract Faradaic capacitor (FC) has been widely investigated during the past few decades, and dozens of prototypes have been proposed. However, it has not reached its full potential. In this work, we demonstrate a kind of FC comprising of ...

Spin dynamics in permalloy nano-ellipses for honeycomb and square lattices

We report experimental and theoretical studies of spin dynamics in lattice structures of permalloy (Ni80Fe20) nano-ellipses, with four different types of networks including honeycomb and square lattices. The lattices are patterned at the ce...

Improvement in energy absorption properties of aluminum foams by designing pore-density distribution

In the present work, effect of structural design on the mechanical properties of aluminum foams was studied. Aluminum foams with a relative density in the range of 0.28–0.48 with uniform and graded pore frequency were fabricated through pow...

Graph neural networks for materials science and chemistry

Machine learning plays an increasingly important role in many areas of chemistry and materials science, being used to predict materials properties, accelerate simulations, design new structures, and predict synthesis routes of new materials...

Wild immunology

In wild populations, individuals are regularly exposed to a wide range of pathogens. In this context, organisms must elicit and regulate effective immune responses to protect their health while avoiding immunopathology. However, most of our...

Mcm5 mutation leads to silencing of Stat1-bcl2 which accelerating apoptosis of immature T lymphocytes with DNA damage

Abstract Mutation in genes involved in DNA replication continuously disrupt DNA replication and give rise to genomic instability, a critical driver of oncogenesis. To prevent leukemia, immature T lymphocytes with genomic instability often u...
