The emergence and popularity of dockless bike-sharing systems have attracted extensive attention due to the associated environmental and health benefits. However, little consideration has been given to the potential individual social implications of dockless bike-sharing. Our knowledge about whether dockless bike-sharing systems have the ability to facilitate individuals' engagement in daily activities is limited. The goal of this study is to gain more insight into how individuals' personal characteristics and neighborhood environment features influence perceived access to different types of activities by dockless bike-sharing. Using survey data collected from residents in Beijing, we employed four ordinary least squares (OLS) regressions to assess the effect of individual and spatial attributes on the role dockless bike-sharing plays in users' perceived accessibility to activities overall as well as to three different categories of activities—subsistence, maintenance and leisure. The results indicated that male users reported enjoying more benefits in accessing activities. Dockless bike-sharing users' perceived benefits in accessing activities largely relied on their social support from their family and friends and their attitudes towards environmental and health concerns of travel. Additionally, users who agreed that dockless bike-sharing has helped them access bus stops and metro stations perceived higher benefits of dockless bike-sharing on activity participation. Our analysis also highlighted that dockless bike-sharing users in Beijing benefited most in their commuting trips, and to a lesser degree, when attending maintenance and leisure activities. The percentage of cycling paths within the home neighborhood tended to be positively associated with individuals' perceived accessibility to subsistence activities.
To investigate the effectiveness of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) combined with eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) on the esteem, anxiety, depression, posttrauma stress disorder (PTSD), and posttraumatic growth in patients with facial trauma.A total of 92 facial trauma patients in Wenzhou People's Hospital from January 2017 to December 2019 were enrolled in this study. The patients were randomly divided into control group (n = 46) and intervention group (n = 46). Both of the control group and the intervention group received routine treatment, while the intervention group further received CBT combined with EMDR. Questionnaires were used to explore and record the general patient information. The Self-Esteem Scale (SES), Self-Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-Depression Scale (SDS), Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist Civilian Version (PCL-C), Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), and World Health Organization Quality of Life-brief (WHOQOL-BREF) scores between the two groups were compared.After CBT combined with EMDR intervention, the SDS and SAS scores in the intervention group were significantly decreased compared with the scores before intervention with statistically significance (P < 0.001). Furthermore, the PCL-C score in the intervention group showed significant decrease in comparison with the control group (P < 0.001), while the PTGI score in the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group (P < 0.001). The WHOQOL-BREF scores were increased after treatment in the two groups compared with the scores before treatment, and the scores in the intervention group were higher than those in the control group after treatment (P < 0.01).Psychological intervention therapy can effectively alleviate the anxiety, depression, and PTSD and improve the life quality and the recovery of facial trauma patients.
Abstract Co‐catalysts are commonly employed as catalytic centers to activate reactants and intermediates for driving redox reactions with photogenerated carriers during photocatalysis. Herein, a group of electronically inverted perovskite‐type nitrides Cu x In 1− x NNi 3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) are reported as novel and versatile co‐catalysts for the significantly enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen production performance on various photocatalysts, such as metal sulfides (CdS, ZnIn 2 S 4 ), carbon nitride (g‐C 3 N 4 ), and metal oxide (TiO 2 ), respectively. The hybrid photocatalyst Cu 0.5 In 0.5 NNi 3 /CdS exhibits an optimal activity up to 6945 µmol g −1 h −1 and a remarkable enhancement factor of 6146% compared with that of pristine CdS. Besides, a high reaction stability with repetitive photocatalytic cycles is achieved. The obvious improvement of activity can be ascribed to the promoted charge separation of energetic carriers due to the metallic properties of Cu x In 1− x NNi 3 and abundant Ni active sites. A near‐zero Gibbs free energy of adsorbed atomic hydrogen on the Ni‐site is thermodynamically favorable for hydrogen evolution, which can be regulated by electronic states of A‐sites (Cu/In). This work not only demonstrates the great potential of perovskite‐structured nitrides as a universal platform for enhanced photocatalysis but also addresses the importance of exploring new catalytic applications for unique perovskite‐derivatives with cations/anions exchanged in coordinated sites of polyhedral.
Abstract: Chronic bleeding disorders, allergy to implants, and chronic infections are all complicating factors when considering neuromodulation therapies. The American Society of Pain and Neuroscience (ASPN) determined a need for clinical guidance in these special patient populations that have increased risk of complications, in order to ensure patient safety and optimal outcomes with device implantation. The purpose of this publication was to review the published literature and explore the unique clinical challenges encountered among several special patient populations with relation to spinal cord stimulation. The executive board of the ASPN appointed a diverse group of well-established physicians to develop best practice guidelines regarding spinal cord stimulation implantation in these special populations. The physicians used the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) structured guidelines for grading and level of certainty to make evidence-based recommendations about clinical practice. Where sufficient evidence was lacking to justify a USPSTF ranking, the physicians queried experts in neuromodulation and achieved consensus. These best practices and interventional guideline found the evidence for the use of neuromodulation in specialized patient populations to be relatively modest.
