1. Utilizing a discussion of the study's objectives, methodology, and Results: , participants will self-report the characteristics of patients seen by a palliative care team for advance care planning over five years in various clinical settings. 2. Utilizing a discussion of the study's pertinent findings, participants will identify potential differences in providing and receiving advance care planning among clinicians and patients. Along with expansion of our PC team over five years came an uptrend in completed ACP encounters. Despite practicing in an area with a large minority population, most patients seen were white and non-Hispanic. A mere third of the patients resided in areas of healthcare underutilization. Advance care planning (ACP) is central to high-quality end-of-life care since it allows patients to maintain an active role in their treatment. Previous studies have linked ACP with increased patient and family satisfaction with care, and less aggressive medical management near death. In 2015, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services introduced two Current Procedural Technology (CPT) codes allowing clinicians to bill for ACP based on time spent. To describe the characteristics of patients seen for ACP by palliative care clinicians from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2021. This was a retrospective cross-sectional study of patients seen by our growing team of palliative care clinicians within a large hospital system. All ACP encounters completed in various clinical settings (hospitals, outpatient clinics, nursing facilities and homes) and billed using the CPT codes "99497" and "99498" were included. We examined 12,575 encounters with 10,307 unique patients. The number of billed ACP encounters increased across the study period. Majority of patients were female (52%), white (74%), and non-Hispanic (96%). Roughly a third (32%) of patients lived in community outreach zones—zip code clusters of healthcare underutilization. Most patients were seen in the hospital setting (74%) and on regular nursing floors (75%). Most encounters (63%) were billed for 30 minutes. Along with expansion of our PC team over five years came an uptrend in completed ACP encounters. Despite practicing in an area with a large minority population, most patients seen were white and non-Hispanic. A mere third of the patients resided in areas of healthcare underutilization. These findings hint at potential differences in providing and receiving ACP. Future efforts could look at factors affecting ACP that involve clinicians, patients and communities.

Over the last half-century, the world's human population has doubled, impacting almost all ocean and land areas. The threats facing primates in the wild have never been greater or more complex. Primatologists have long been aware of these threats and, since the 1970s, have coordinated efforts to safeguard these threatened species, through the International Union for Conservation of Nature Species Survival Commission (IUCN SSC) Primate Specialist Group (PSG). In an effort to stem the threat of extinction to primates, this group of now 700 experts+ has published 17 conservation action plans since 1977. As we look toward the next half-century, we take stock of the history of primate action planning to better understand the costs and benefits of these plans as a conservation tool. Here, we reviewed all plans published by the IUCN SSC PSG. In total, they described USD 246 million in planned primate conservation programming and were cited 1657 times by others. We found that half of the plans had been assessed in regard to their implementation, although these assessments were not standardized. Those that had been assessed, showed evidence of positive impacts on awareness raising, collaboration, fundraising, project implementation and policy, although the impact varied by plan. For example, three of the plans directly resulted in USD 15.92 million in funds raised; four plans quantified implementation rates, which ranged from 38% to 74% of actions partially or completely achieved 5 years after plan publication; and four plans attributed the gazettement of 19 protected areas across 11 countries as indirect successes following the publication of plans. Considered together, we reflect on the 'return-on-investment' for developing these plans and consider a range of 'lessons learned' for future primate action planning efforts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The so-called health maps are an instrument for the promotion, democratization and right to public information in health. They have also been a tool for contextualizing and better targeting inequalities in the public health sector and other related sectors. This article aims to explain the elaboration of the health map of Mauritania, and its value in the planning and reordering of the supply of health services at all levels of the country's health pyramid in order to respond to the growing requests for information generated by various organizations, but mainly from the Mauritanian health sector. The methodology used to develop a participatory map of health assets in a specific African country is presented. The survey technique was used as a research procedure, as it allows data to be collected and processed quickly and efficiently. Geographic information systems were an important support to the work. The health map drawn up was a fundamental tool for the management and organization of the territory in terms of health planning for the following five years. It has enabled health resources to be organized in order to achieve a supply of services more suited to the needs of the population, avoiding duplication of care, while at the same time becoming a powerful instrument to support decision-making. This territorial knowledge of the country allowed and made possible the subsequent implementation of Health Development Plans in the regions with the greatest health inequalities.

Global economic restructuring since the 1970s, and the rollback of the welfare state in the Global North has been a major contributor to a reduction in the affordable housing stock. Similarly in the so-called Global South recent economic development has been accompanied by a lack of sustainable affordable housing and housing policies. In this short paper, I aim to analyse important policy papers from the central government of Turkey and local government of Istanbul focusing on the housing policies. I will use content and policy analysis to examine the legal and policy framework in the city of Istanbul and compare this with what is happening on the ground. These policy papers include Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Strategical Plan (2020–2024), Turkey 11th 5 year Development Plan Housing Politics (2019–2023), Urban Development Strategy (2010–2023) and Istanbul Regional Plan (2014–2023).

This article identifies the causes determining mediation's limited popularity among prospective users, whether public institutions, private sector companies, individual citizens, or civil society organizations. With such causes identified, the article then proposes a few options for the next steps that can lead to possible solutions for an increased understanding of, respect for, and use of mediation in Romania. The approach and analysisare structured around three main pillars - the demand for mediation, the supply for mediation, and the factors influencing the mediation activity. Specifically, the author maps out various means for recourse to mediation and analyses the components of the quality assurance mechanisms before looking at numerous entry points in the system that should be considered. A set of options for the next steps is offered, including the top-down Italian model based on the first mandatory meeting, setting up data gathering mechanisms, developing the supply side of mediation, conducting effective mediation promotion, implementing sector-specific mediation programs, and, most importantly, planning for and implementing mediation public policies and three to five years action plans. Finally, the article proposes a blueprint for breaking the deadlock in the field of mediation in Romania and moving it forward in implementing the best international standards and practices.

Background: The WHO roadmap for neglected tropical diseases includes yaws eradication requiring certification of elimination of transmission in all endemic and formerly endemic countries worldwide. A community-based programme for yaws control was considered to have achieved elimination of the infection in the endemic focus in Ecuador after 1993. We did a serosurvey of children in this focus to provide evidence for interruption of transmission. Methods: Survey of serum samples collected from children aged 2 to 15 years living in the formerly endemic and in geographically contiguous areas. A convenience sample of sera collected between 2005 were 2017 from non-yaws studies, were analyzed using immunochromatic rapid tests to screen (OnSite Syphilis Ab Combo Rapid Test) for Treponema pallidum-specific antibodies and confirm (DPP Syphilis Screen and Confirm) seroreactivity based on the presence antibodies to treponemal and non-treponemal antigens. Results: Seroreactivity was confirmed in 6 (0.14%, 95% CI 0.06–0.30) of 4,432 sera analyzed and was similar in formerly endemic (0.11%, (95% CI 0.01–0.75) and non-endemic (0.14%, 95% CI 0.06–0.34) communities. All seroreactors were of Afro-Ecuadorian ethnicity and most were male (4/6) and aged 10 or more years (5/6), the latter possibly indicating venereal syphilis. Only 1 seroreactor lived in a community in the Rio Santiago, that was formerly hyperendemic for yaws. Conclusion: We observed very low levels of treponemal transmission in both formerly endemic and non-endemic communities which might be indicative of congenital or venereal syphilis and, if yaws, would likely be insufficient to maintain transmission of this endemic childhood infection. Additional surveys of children aged 1 to 5 years are planned in Rio Santiago communities to exclude yaws transmission. Author summary: Yaws, caused by infection with the spirochete, Treponema pallidum pertenue, causes a chronic debilitating condition of skin, cartilage, and bone, and is transmitted during childhood through skin-to-skin contact. Yaws has been targeted for eradication as part of the WHO roadmap for control of neglected tropical diseases, requiring certification of elimination in all endemic and formerly endemic regions. Yaws in Ecuador has been restricted to a geographically isolated focus in a rainforest region of Esmeraldas Province in northern coastal Ecuador. Following a strategy of repeated 5-yearly clinical and serological surveys with mass-treatment and surveillance between surveys, yaws was assumed to have been eliminated by 1998. To provide the evidence base to certify the elimination of transmission in Ecuador, this study presents an analysis of stored sera collected from 4,432 children between 2005 and 2017 from formerly endemic and non-endemic communities. Screening and confirmation of seroreactors was done using two validated rapid tests for T. pallidum. Seroreactivity was observed in 6 samples (0.14%) and was similar in formerly endemic (0.11%) and non-endemic (0.14%) communities, possibly explained by background rates of congenital or venereal syphilis. Only 1 active infection was detected in formerly endemic communities. To our knowledge, this is the first study of yaws from the Americas to evaluate the elimination of transmission. Our data indicate that active yaws transmission is unlikely to be occurring in formerly endemic communities. Additional surveys of young children may be required to confirm interruption of transmission. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

China is facing multiple pressures from economic recovery, air quality standards, and the realization of 'dual carbon' goals in the post-pandemic period. Therefore, analyzing the synergistic effects of pollution control and carbon reduction and identifying their realization pathways are of great practical significance for China to promote its comprehensive green transformation of economic and so⁃ cial development. Based on the panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2001 to 2019, this article analyzed the synergistic effects, dy⁃ namic evolution process, and realization pathways of pollution control and carbon reduction policies with the panel regression model and intermediary effect model. The results showed that: ① China' s pollution control and carbon reduction policies had significant syn⁃ ergistic effects. Among them, the carbon reduction policy had almost the same effects on pollution control and carbon reduction, while the pollution control policy mainly focused on pollution control and carbon reduction as a supplement, but its inhibitory effect on air pol⁃ lutants and carbon dioxide emissions was greater than that of the carbon reduction policy. Moreover, we confirmed the robustness of the benchmark estimation results from three perspectives: endogenous problems, robustness of pollution control policy index design, and es⁃ timation methods. ② The synergistic effects of pollution control and carbon reduction policies demonstrated a clear dynamic change trend. Specifically, the carbon reduction policy had a significant synergistic effect on pollution control since the implementation of the policy, and the longer the implementation time of the policy, the stronger the synergistic effect on pollution control. The synergistic ef⁃ fects of carbon reduction and pollution control policies began to be significant after the introduction of the comprehensive plan for ener⁃ gy conservation and emission reduction in the 12th Five Year Plan (i.e., after 2011), and showed a changing trend of first rising and then falling. Therefore, the carbon market based the synergistic effects of carbon reduction policy was in the long run significantly larger than that of the pollution control policy, and thus the strategic layout of synergy should focus on the construction of carbon market. The con⁃ clusion just verified the rationality and foresight of China' s initiation of the national carbon emission trading market. ③ The effective⁃ ness and synergy of pollution control policies were mainly realized by optimizing energy consumption structure, reducing carbon emis⁃ sion intensity and promoting technological progress, while the effectiveness and synergy of carbon reduction policies were mainly real⁃ ized through the first two pathways. Based on the research conclusions, this article puts forward a series of policy recommendations to promote synergies between pollution control and carbon reduction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the 14th Five Year Plan, China clearly proposes to develop the automobile strategic industry, reduce the carbon emission intensity, and formulates the carbon emission peak plan by 2030. As the automobile is the most frequently used vehicle, weight reduction can achieve the purpose of energy-saving and emission reduction and help to achieve the peak of carbon emissions as soon as possible. The lightweight automobile steel is the research hotspot in the future, and the lightweight steel has attracted much attention in the automobile manufacturing industry. Fe-Mn-Al-C lightweight steel, with its high strength, good oxidation resistance at high temperatures, good fatigue performance, high elongation, and good energy absorption during a collision, etc., has attracted the attention of researchers in the field of automotive steel. It is found that the addition of micro-alloyed/alloyed elements to Fe-Mn-Al-C lightweight steel is of great significance to improve its properties. In this paper, the effects of micro-alloyed elements (Nb and V) and alloy elements (Si, Cr, and Cu) on the microstructure, properties, and κ-carbide of Fe-Mn-Al-C lightweight steel were reviewed. The main ways of improving the properties of Fe-Mn-Al-C lightweight steel by micro-alloyed/alloyed elements were summarized and the existing problems were analyzed to provide a reference for future research.

The purpose of this study was to examine factors that may influence the projected career plans of elementary general music teachers. Survey participants (N = 972) completed a questionnaire designed to elicit responses about multiple factors and projected career plans in 1 year and in 5 years. The vast majority of participants planned to remain in their position the following year, yet a little under half of them planned on remaining in their positions in 5 years. The variables associated with teacher migration or attrition in 5 years were issues of teacher support (i.e., participation in a mentoring program and recognition in the form of teaching awards), student race, and family responsibilities (i.e., number of children at home). Movers were also more likely to have received a teaching award than those who intended to stay in their current positions or those who planned to leave the profession. Implications for the profession as well as for practice and future research are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of the study was to analyze the satisfaction of patients treated with a protocol of six-implant-supported fixed prosthesis (6IFP) throughout 5 years of service. This retrospective study collected the data of all patients who had full-arch rehabilitations using 6IFP and followed them for 5 years. After applying the research inclusion/exclusion strategy, 37 cases were finally included in the study. All the patients had no previous complete dentures because they were partially edentulous, not interested in pursuing complete denture rehabilitation, had immediate dental extractions, implantation used the 2-stage protocol, and there was minor peri-implant socket grafting. Cases with severe bone loss that required extensive grafting were excluded. A total number of 222 implants were placed in the maxillary or mandibular arches in a total of 37 patients. The data presented the satisfaction outcomes concerning mastication, phonetics, and comfort during the first 5 years of the recall plan. The former was achieved based on the clinical record reviews, follow-up visits, and recall phone calls at the preoperative stage as well as annually thereafter. The mean satisfaction rate was 94.5%, with a mean record of 8.21 ± 1.7 out of 10, there was no gender predilection significance, and no age range variation significance was validated. Regarding the smoking status, the t-test score exhibited no significant effect on phonetics and mastication (p = 0.12, p = 0.16, respectively), whereas comfort was found to be significantly affected (p = 0.03). The comfort level was found to be slightly less at the immediate postoperative period among smokers when compared to non-smokers. In conclusion, partially edentulous patients who received the rehabilitation plan of arch dental extractions, six immediate implantations, and delayed prosthetic loading were found to be highly satisfied.

California's landmark 2014 Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) requires local officials to form new Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) and to write new groundwater sustainability plans capable of eliminating overdraft within 20 years. To assess progress achieved during SGMA's first five years of implementation, we surveyed officials who manage or participate in GSA governance. The most common obstacles to GSA formation have involved horizontal and network governance issues such as too many diverse interests or lack of trust among stakeholders. The most common obstacles to groundwater planning include a lack of financial resources and the requirement to coordinate plans among GSAs in the same basin. Respondents usually report that their own GSA performs well on seven measures of good governance, such as representing all major stakeholders, granting members sufficient power, and generating trusted data for decision making. On the other hand, many GSA managers acknowledge that some types of stakeholders remain underrepresented in the governing structure despite SGMA's mandate to "consider the interests of all beneficial uses and users of groundwater." Overall, most respondents are optimistic that SGMA will enhance groundwater sustainability locally and statewide. If successfully implemented and fully funded, SGMA could become a model worldwide for sustainable resource governance that combines top‐down mandates and local incentives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Synthetic Biology is considered as a key emerging technology. Globally regulating risks in Synthetic Biology is a contentious issue. Discussions on regulating Synthetic Biology and it's relevance for various treaties, conventions and protocols are on going in many fora, convened under, inter alia, Convention on Biological Diversity. Given it's ramifications, such discussions are inevitable. Regulating biosafety and biosecurity, and, liability for harm are key themes on which discussions are being held. This article describes these developments and their importance. In India the XII th Five Year Plan considered harnessing synthetic biology for national development and regulating it. India has a biotechnology regulatory regime. But develop a robust policy for synthetic biology, foresight and analysis are needed. The global developments on regulating synthetic biology are relevant for development and regulation of synthetic biology in India. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Since independence, India has embraced a mixed economy, recognizing the co-existence of private and public enterprises. The Planning Commission Established for the rapid economic development of the country. In the country with this, five year plans were started. As a result of this five year plans agriculture, energy, irrigation, transportation, communication, information technology, etc. are available in the country and it was tremendous progress was made in this field. But the rural areas were deprived of this progress. The main occupation in rural areas is agriculture which is seasonal and depend upon nature. Therefore, in addition to agriculture, farmers and agricultural laborers have to remain unemployed during the season and have to migrate to urban areas for unemployment. As a effect of this the population of the urban areas has increased and the stress on their basic and infrastructure problems has created. Therefore, people in rural areas need to create employment in the native village. For this, the Central and State Governments emphasized on the implementation of programs and schemes like Community Development Program, Jawahar Rozgar Yojana, Indira Awas Yojana for the eradication of poverty in rural areas. But these plans have not been successful and effective in achieving their objectives. Off this the only successful and effective scheme is Employment Guarantee Scheme. Employment has been started in Gadchiroli district since the inception of Employment Guarantee Scheme. There has also been an increase in the number of laborers due to the steady rise in wage rates. The participation of women has increased significantly due to equal pay rates for men and women. Also, the question of seasonal employment has been solved as a family gets 100 days employment guarantee in a financial year. With the creation of permanent and durable property in the village itself, the basic and infrastructural facilities have been disposed problem of economic, social, educational, cultural etc. in rural areas. The radical change that has taken place in the field. The main reason for Employment Guarantee Scheme it is the increase the wage rates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the present day of aggressive world excellence is the necessitate of the hour, inescapably more in achievement, i.e., excellence in production, marketing, finance, personnel & management. The companies that have achieved the most excellent ground-breaking routine are leveled as outstanding company, if they managed and provoked their possessions to achieve the best. An organization requires excellence in HR Practices so that best Human resourcelworliforce can be shaped, utilized and talented to encourage to get done the basic organizational goals. Now to accomplish organizational excellence a variety of administration paraphernalia and HR practices has been urban and Employee Empowerment is one of the apparatus in the hands of management. Modern organizations have to empower their employees for reasons of excellence and consumer approval. They have to put their employ~ees on jobs that improve their capabilities to work autonomously in potential. The saying "enjoyment in the job puts excellence in the work" well describes the word Empowerment. Electrical enelg)' is a necessary enelg)' input to maintain the financial actions of a country. This sector is one of the principal consumers of capital in the economy. Therefore, planned expansion of electricity generation, transmission and distribution at an ever growing scale has turn out to be an indispensable ingredient of the five year plans in the country. As it acting a central role in the Indian Economy, these undertakings require to initiate the contemporary concepts of Human Resources Management. Even though such concepts have emerged from the management practices of victorious commerce enterprises they do offer a meaningfUl structure for decision making in all sectors of financial system. The principal decision-making co'!front in public systems lies in achieving maximum utilisation of Human Resources and at the same time ensuring the assurance, motivation and development of Human Resources.

[Display omitted] • Methanol synthesis via carbon dioxide hydrogenation is reviewed. • Up to date review on high yield catalysts for methanol synthesis are discussed. • Catalytic performance parameters (temperature, Pressure, Support) are reviewed. • Policy framework towards renewable energy for China is extensively reviewed. • The catalytic mechanism and the role of promoters, bi-metallic catalyst is also discussed. A unified treatment of the renewable portfolio standards is given concerning direct methanol fuel. The current mechanism of electrocatalysis of methanol oxidation on platinum and non-platinum-containing alloys is summarized for the systematic improvement of the rate of electro-oxidation of methanol are discussed. Policy realignment under the five-year plan is discussed in length to demonstrate how policy, markets, and engineering designs contribute towards the development of model direct methanol fuel cells operational enhancement, and factors that affect critical performance parameters for commercial exploitation are summarized for catalytic formulations and cell design within the context of why this investment in technology, education, and finances is required within the global context of sustainable energy and energy independence as exposed by thirteenth the five-year plan. The prolog focuses on the way, whereas the section on methanol fuel cells on the how and the post log on what is expected post-COVID-19 era in science and technology as China pivots to a post-fossil fuel economy. China's industrial growth has been through internal market reforms and supplies side economics from the Chinese markets for fossil fuels except for petroleum. The latest renewable portfolio standards adopted have common elements as adopted from North American and the United Kingdom in terms of adaptation of obligation in terms of renewable portfolio standards as well as a realization that the necessity for renewables standards for the thirteen five year plan (from 2016 to 2020) need to less rigorously implemented due to performance targets that were met during the eleventh (06–10) and twelfth five-year plans (11–15) in terms of utilization of small coal-ire power plants, development of newer standards, led to an improvement of energy efficiency of 15 %, reduction of SO x /NO x by an average of 90 % and PM2.5 by 96 % over the last two five-year plans. The current phase of the plan has a focus on energy generation from coal and a slowing down of renewables or Renewable energy curtailment of approximately 400 T Wh renewables including 300 T Wh of non-hydro power, principally from Guangdong, and Jiangsu for transfer of hydropower and Zhejiang, Tianjin, Henan for non-hydro power transfer with Beijing and Shanghai playing important roles in renewables energy curtailment and realignment using an integrated approach to optimize each provinces energy portfolio. The realignment of the renewable energy portfolio indicates that the newly installed capacity in Sichuan, Yunnan, Inner Mongolia, and Zhejiang will account for less than 20 % of the current renewable energy portfolio but with the NO x SO x and PM 2.5 savings already accrued. The catalytic reduction of carbon dioxide to methanol (70 / 110 million metric tons from all sources in 2019 for China/world) is one technological approach to reduce global carbon dioxide emissions and suggests that catalytic methanol synthesis by CO 2 hydrogenation may be a plausible approach, even if it is more expensive economically than methanol synthesis by the syngas approach. This is because the CO 2 emissions of the synthesis are lower than other synthesis methodologies. The Chinese government has placed a premium on cleaner air and water and may view such an approach as solving the dual issues of fuel substitution and reduction of CO 2. Thus, the coupling of hydrogen generation from sustainable energies sources (Solar 175 / 509 GW) or wind (211/591.5 GW in 2019) may be an attractive approach, as this requires slightly less water than coal gasification. Due to the thermodynamic requirement of lower operating pressure and higher operating pressure, currently, there is no single operational approach, although some practice approaches (220 °C at 48 atm using copper) and zinc oxide/alumina are suggested for optimal performance.

The power industry in China is the foremost emitter of carbon, necessitating a clean transition in its power generation segment for successful decarbonization. Identifying and quantitative analysis the critical factors that shape the transition and their operational mechanisms will help achieve a secure low-carbon transformation of the energy system. Nonetheless, the body of extensive research in this particular field remains notably limited. To bridge this gap, this paper initiates by developing a comprehensive mechanism framework (REEP) for the transition towards cleaner power generation including Resource endowment (abbreviated as R), Electricity market (abbreviated as E), Economic development (abbreviated as E) and Policy implementation (abbreviated as P) four fields. This framework is based on monthly power generation data derived from four categories of power generation sources at the provincial level in China, spanning the years 2014–2019. It dynamically and quantitative elucidates the multifaceted impacts of various influencing factors on the evolution of the power generation structure. Based on the REEP framework, we observe the power generation structure evolution trends. The study's findings underscore the significance of resource endowment as a paramount internal factor influencing the clean evolution of the power generation structure, while economic development emerges as a pivotal external driving force propelling its transformation. Despite wind and solar power generation accounting for a relatively small proportion at the end of the 14th Five Year Plan period, it is imperative for China to continue promoting the extensive development of renewable energy. While we should coordinate national power transmission and distribution on the foundation of incentivizing technological innovation in emission reduction and the development of energy storage technology. This approach is essential to comprehensively advance the low-carbon and stable development of the energy system, ultimately facilitating the realization of the dual-carbon goal.
