    Abstract Introduction: Emergency Medical Language Services (EMLS) have played a crucial role in the COVID-19 pandemic. Research on the quality and its influencing factors of EMLS is necessary.
    Methods: This study used the SERvice QUALity (SERVQUAL) model to determine factors affecting the quality of EMLS during the pandemic. An online questionnaire was completed by 206 participants who received the service in 2021-2022. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) indicated that the service provider and service process significantly influenced the Service Results.
    Results: In the service process, the evaluation of service content and responsiveness were highly correlated, and both factors significantly affected user satisfaction. In the service provider, tangibility and reliability were highly correlated. The key factors for user willingness to recommend the service were service content and tangibility.
    Discussion: Based on the results of the data analysis, it can be inferred that EMLS should be improved and upgraded in terms of service organization, talent cultivation, and service channel expansion. To enhance service organization, an emergency medical language team should establish a close collaboration with local medical institutions and government departments, and an EMLS center should be established with the support of hospitals, government, or civil organizations.

    Abstract As one of the most abundant groups in marine fish families, Gobiidae fish are important fishery resources in China, and some are also invasive species in certain regions worldwide. However, the phylogenetic relationships of Gobiidae fish remain ambiguous, and the study of their invasion-related genes is still scarce. This study used high-throughput sequencing technology to conduct a whole-genome survey of five Gobiidae fish species:

    Abstract The integration of gamification into educational settings has gained recognition for its potential to boost student motivation, engagement, interest, and learning outcomes. Despite its popularity, research on gamification has produced mixed results regarding student learning outcomes. This meta-analysis aims to synthesize the existing empirical evidence on the effectiveness of gamification as a tool for promoting teaching and learning in educational settings. Forty-one studies with 49 independent samples involving more than 5,071 participants were included in our analysis. Results from random effects models showed an overall significant large effect size (

    Abstract Edible insects have been recognised as an alternative food or feed ingredient due to their protein value for both humans and domestic animals. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of both near- (NIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy to identify and quantify the level of adulteration of cricket powder added into two plant proteins: chickpea and flaxseed meal flour. Cricket flour (CKF) was added to either commercial chickpea (CPF) or flaxseed meal flour (FxMF) at different ratios of 95:5%

    Abstract The objective was to examine the pooled effects of antibiotic-probiotic combinations by examining the cure rate and recurrence rate for bacterial vaginosis (BV). A systematic literature search was conducted from electronic databases. All parallel randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that focused on the effects of antibiotics combined with intravaginal probiotics were included. Cure rate and recurrence rate were the primary and secondary outcomes to be analyzed. Meta-analysis was conducted following the Cochrane handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. As a result, of 923 studies identified, 11 articles involving 1,493 BV patients met the inclusion criteria and nine were available for meta-analysis. A meta-analysis of two studies evaluated the recurrence rate 12-16 weeks after treatment. Results showed a statistically significant difference favoring the antibiotics plus probiotics group vs the antibiotics plus placebo group (relative risk 0.62, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.45-0.85). The narrative review in one study indicated that the cure rate was higher in the antibiotics plus probiotics group, giving a significant HR ratio of 0.73 (95% CI 0.54-0.98) (

    Abstract Okamejei kenojei is an important economic species widely distributed in shallow coastal waters of the western North Pacific. In this study, the whole-genome survey analysis of O. kenojei was conducted to reveal its genomic characteristics. The genome size was estimated to be 2027.44 Mb, the repeat sequence content was 44.90%, and the heterozygous ratio was 1.04%. The mitochondrial genome excavated from the sequencing data was 16,974 bp, and it can form the closed circular molecule. The phylogenetic tree based on 13 protein-coding gene sequences supported the validity of Okamejei and assisted the conclusion that Raja porosa was the junior synonym of O. kenojei. Plenty of potential microsatellite loci were identified, and the distribution frequency was estimated to be approximately 236.3 SSRs per Mb. Among all motif types of microsatellites, the dinucleotide repeats were dominant (82.59%), followed by the trinucleotide repeats (8.05%), tetranucleotide repeats (5.80%), pentanucleotide repeats (2.83%), and hexanucleotide repeats (0.72%). The results of the present study could not only provide useful information for understanding the genome structure and functional characteristics of O. kenojei, but also lay the foundation for the subsequent mapping of the whole genome.

    Abstract Recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV) is recommended in the US for prevention of herpes zoster (HZ) in adults aged ≥50 years. Vaccination rates remain suboptimal for adults 50–59 years compared with adults ≥50 years overall. The objective of this study was to model changes in outcomes associated with improved RZV vaccination coverage in US adults 50–59 years. A multicohort Markov model compared a scenario using real-world vaccination coverage for US adults 50–59 years in 2020 versus scenarios assuming higher coverage. Outcomes, based on a lifetime horizon, included HZ cases and complications avoided, quality-adjusted life-years (QALY), and costs. Model inputs included HZ epidemiology, RZV vaccine efficacy, coverage, adverse events, and costs, based on published literature and US sources. Some inputs were updated from previous models, including real-world estimates of RZV coverage, series completion, and reflecting longer-term data on waning of vaccine efficacy. The model utilized a cohort size of 42,756,488 individuals based on the 2020 US population census. The model projected that increasing RZV coverage in adults 50–59 years from 7.3 % to 14.6 % (to coverage for adults 60–64 years in 2020) would avoid an additional 504,468 HZ cases, 42,077 postherpetic neuralgia cases, and 56,247 cases of other HZ-associated complications. The increase in vaccine coverage would result in higher vaccination-related costs of $1,172,411,566, but the avoided HZ cases and complications would be expected to result in direct cost savings of $721,973,386 and indirect cost savings of $593,497,480 from avoided productivity loss. Overall, a gain of 5,230 discounted QALYs and cost savings of $143,059,299 from a societal perspective would be realized. Modestly higher RZV coverage in US adults 50–59 years could reduce the clinical burden associated with HZ and may result in societal cost savings. These findings demonstrate the potential value of increasing RZV vaccination in this population.

    Abstract Background: Herd immunity (HI) is a key benefit of vaccination programs, but the effects are not routinely included in cost-effectiveness analyses (CEAs).
    Objective: This study investigated how the inclusion of HI in CEAs may influence the reported value of immunizations in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and illustrated the implications for COVID-19 immunization.
    Methods: We reviewed immunization CEAs published from 2000 to 2018 focusing on LMICs using data from the Tufts Medical Center CEA Registries. We investigated the proportion of studies that included HI, the methods used, and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) reported. When possible, we evaluated how ICERs would change with and without HI.
    Results: Among the 243 immunization CEAs meeting inclusion criteria, 44 studies (18%) included HI. Of those studies, 11 (25%) used dynamic transmission models, whereas the remainder used static models. Sixteen studies allowed for ICER calculations with and without HI (n = 48 ratios). The inclusion of HI always resulted in more favorable ratios. In 20 cases (42%), adding HI decreased the ICERs enough to cross at least one or more common cost-effectiveness benchmarks for LMICs. Among pneumococcal vaccination studies, including HI in the analyses decreased seven of 24 ICERs enough to cross at least one cost-effectiveness benchmark.
    Conclusion: The full value of immunization may be underestimated without considering a scenario in which HI is achieved. Given the evidence in pneumococcal CEAs, COVID-19 vaccine value assessments should aim to show ICERs with and without HI to inform decision-making in LMICs.

    Abstract The typical lake wetlands in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are important wintering sites of cranes in China. The spatiotemporal evolution of crane populations and their habitats has great value in clarifying the pivotal role of regional lake wetlands in biodiversity conservation. Therefore, 2562 data points of four crane species were selected in this study. The data reflected the distributional position of the cranes over the period 2000-2020. Twelve surrounding environmental factors were selected to investigate the spatiotemporal evolution in the study area by using the MaxEnt model. The Jackknife method was used to identify the main environmental factors affecting the choice of crane habitats. The results indicated that: (1) Developed land in the study area increased by 42,795.81 hm
