Moreover, 13.8% of the participants left home, while 8% got divorced. Our data represented the significant impact of substance use on the legal aspect and social life of individuals. However, with a multi-dimensional treatment, rehabilitation, and social intervention approach, it is not impossible to overcome. Therefore, we believe it is imperative to focus on social awareness and to create a robust platform for health promotion and improve quality of life.Social workers have a prominent role in responding to cancer patients' mental health needs. Given the risk of mental health distress in cancer patients, and given that social workers are responsible for responding to these needs, the purpose of this study was to explore how social workers describe their role in responding to mental health distress and suicidality in people with cancer. The Grounded Theory method of data collection and analysis was used. Eighteen social workers were recruited and interviewed. Social workers saw themselves and acted as an interprofessional hub for their patients. This approach was based on the values of holistic care, multiple treatment modalities, interpersonal consultation, and continuity of care. From this standpoint, social workers offered their patients (and at times, their families) comprehensive services providing emotional, behavioral and practical support within the hospital setting, but also outside of it in the patient's communities. Consideration should be paid to promote systemic changes to acknowledge and compensate oncology socials workers' invisible labor that includes both emotional carryover and continuous engagement in their role as liaison and intermediaries for their patients.Based on a literature review and interviews with experts, the purpose of this article is to investigate the sustainable management of different systems for recycling end-of-life tyres (ELTs) in China. Systems for bicycles (including electric bicycles), electric motorbikes and cars are considered. The article finds there are differences in the price, handling costs, process costs and transport costs. Consequently, most of the recycled ELTs are from cars. Accordingly, an economic model is built to show the difference between the different systems. The results show that the recycling system for ELTs from cars works effectively, whereas that for bicycles and electric motorbikes does not work in China. In addition, a social welfare model is built to discuss the sustainable management of the different systems for recycling ELTs. Based on the results of the model, it is suggested that subsidies could be provided according to the weight of ELTs, and that if subsidies were to be granted specifically for recycling ELTs from bicycles and electric motorbikes this would promote the efficiency and the sustainable management of these recycling systems in China.Ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) is a famous Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is widely used to treat cardiovascular disease. Monascus ruber (M. ruber) is a fungus used in food and medicine fermentation, and lovastatin, its metabolite, is used extensively in the treatment of dyslipidemia. In this study, ginseng has been fermented by M. ruber, and the response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize fermentation parameters to obtain optimal fermentation system, with further exploring to lipid-lowering activity of P. ginseng C. A. Meyer-M. ruber fermentation products (PM). The concentration of ginseng, temperature, and rotating speed were set as variables and the lovastatin yield was optimized by a Box-Behnken design (BBD) analyzed by RSM. The binding capacity of PM for sodium taurocholate and sodium cholate was assayed by UV spectrophotometry. The highest content of lovastatin production (85.53 μg g-1) was obtained at a ginseng concentration of 1.96%, temperature of 30.11 °C, and a rotating speed of 160.47 rpm. PM exhibited bile acid binding capacity, which was stronger than unfermented ginseng. The RSM can be used to optimize the fermentation system to obtain the best fermentation process. In addition, the fermentation of ginseng by M. ruber can enhance the lipid-lowering effect.Objective To provide a proof-of-concept for a novel stroke-gait-specific augmented reality (AR)-guided treadmill intervention by evaluating its effect on temporospatial and functional outcomes of mobility. NVP-CGM097 datasheet Methods Two females with hemiplegia post stroke were recruited for participation in a 4-week intervention, and a single healthy control was recruited for baseline comparisons. The stroke-intervention (SI) participant (aged 54-years), completed 12 sessions of AR-guided treadmill intervention. The stroke-control (SC) participant (aged 59-years) completed 12 sessions of conventional treadmill intervention. Temporospatial and functional mobility were assessed pre-intervention, post-intervention, and at 1-month follow-up. Physical ACtivity Enjoyment Scale (PACES) was administered post-intervention. Results The SI participant showed clinically meaningful improvements in functional outcomes post-intervention and at 1-month follow-up (Berg balance score (BBS) +6 and +10 points; Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) +2 at post-intervention only; walking speed +0.19 and +0.24 m/s; 6-minute walk test (6MWT) +51.9 and +38.9) respectively. The SC showed clinically meaningful improvements in BBS (+3 and +3) and walking speed (+0.06 at post-intervention). The PACES scores showed that the SI participant had a significantly higher (23 points) enjoyment level during the intervention compared to the SC participant. The SI participant was more asymmetric compared to the SC participant at pre and post-intervention visits. Conclusions The SI participant showed greater improvement in functional assessments compared to the SC participant post intervention. The AR-guided approach may have added benefits compared to traditional treadmill training, while providing better customization, patient enjoyment, and engagement. Further investigation with a larger sample is warranted.The magnetic and convective nature of the Sun's photosphere provides a unique platform from which generated waves can be modelled, observed and interpreted across a wide breadth of spatial and temporal scales. As oscillations are generated in-situ or emerge through the photospheric layers, the interplay between the rapidly evolving densities, temperatures and magnetic field strengths provides dynamic evolution of the embedded wave modes as they propagate into the tenuous solar chromosphere. A focused science team was assembled to discuss the current challenges faced in wave studies in the lower solar atmosphere, including those related to spectropolarimetry and radiative transfer in the optically thick regions. Following the Theo Murphy international scientific meeting held at Chicheley Hall during February 2020, the scientific team worked collaboratively to produce 15 independent publications for the current Special Issue, which are introduced here. Implications from the current research efforts are discussed in terms of upcoming next-generation observing and high-performance computing facilities. This article is part of the Theo Murphy meeting issue 'High-resolution wave dynamics in the lower solar atmosphere'.The instrumental advances made in this new era of 4 m class solar telescopes with unmatched spectropolarimetric accuracy and sensitivity will enable the study of chromospheric magnetic fields and their dynamics with unprecedented detail. In this regard, spectropolarimetric diagnostics can provide invaluable insight into magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) wave processes. MHD waves and, in particular, Alfvénic fluctuations associated with particular wave modes were recently recognized as important mechanisms not only for the heating of the outer layers of the Sun's atmosphere and the acceleration of the solar wind, but also for the elemental abundance anomaly observed in the corona of the Sun and other Sun-like stars (also known as first ionization potential) effect. Here, we take advantage of state-of-the-art and unique spectropolarimetric Interferometric BIdimensional Spectrometer observations to investigate the relation between intensity and circular polarization (CP) fluctuations in a sunspot chromosphere. Our results show a clear link between the intensity and CP fluctuations in a patch which corresponds to a narrow range of magnetic field inclinations. This suggests the presence of Alfvénic perturbations in the sunspot. This article is part of the Theo Murphy meeting issue 'High-resolution wave dynamics in the lower solar atmosphere'.This paper presents the results of the analysis of three-dimensional simulations of solar magneto-convection that include the joint action of the ambipolar diffusion and the Hall effect. Three simulation runs are compared one including both ambipolar diffusion and the Hall effect; one including only ambipolar diffusion and one without any of these two effects. The magnetic field is amplified from initial field to saturation level by the action of turbulent local dynamo. In each of these cases, we study 2 h of simulated solar time after the local dynamo reaches the saturation regime. We analyse the power spectra of vorticity, of magnetic field fluctuations and of the different components of the magnetic Poynting flux responsible for the transport of vertical or horizontal perturbations. Our preliminary results show that the ambipolar diffusion produces a strong reduction of vorticity in the upper chromospheric layers and that it dissipates the vortical perturbations converting them into thermal energy. The Hall effect acts in the opposite way, strongly enhancing the vorticity. When the Hall effect is included, the magnetic field in the simulations becomes, on average, more vertical and long-lived flux tube-like structures are produced. We trace a single magnetic structure to study its evolution pattern and the magnetic field intensification, and their possible relation to the Hall effect. This article is part of the Theo Murphy meeting issue 'High-resolution wave dynamics in the lower solar atmosphere'.The solar surface is a continuous source of internal gravity waves (IGWs). IGWs are believed to supply the bulk of the wave energy for the lower solar atmosphere, but their existence and role for the energy balance of the upper layers is still unclear, largely due to the lack of knowledge about the influence of the Sun's magnetic fields on their propagation. In this work, we look at naturally excited IGWs in realistic models of the solar atmosphere and study the effect of different magnetic field topographies on their propagation. We carry out radiation-magnetohydrodynamic simulations of a magnetic field free and two magnetic models-one with an initial, homogeneous, vertical field of 100 G magnetic flux density and one with an initial horizontal field of 100 G flux density. The propagation properties of IGWs are studied by examining the phase-difference and coherence spectra in the k h - ω diagnostic diagram. We find that IGWs in the upper solar atmosphere show upward propagation in the model with predominantly horizontal field similar to the model without magnetic field. In contrast to that the model with predominantly vertical fields show downward propagation. This crucial difference in the propagation direction is also revealed in the difference in energy transported by waves for heights below 0.8 Mm. Higher up, the propagation properties show a peculiar behaviour, which require further study. Our analysis suggests that IGWs may play a significant role in the heating of the chromospheric layers of the internetwork region where horizontal fields are thought to be prevalent.
