Decreasing COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy is an urgent challenge in the US. This study aimed to examine COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among U.S. adults with a history of using tobacco products or marijuana. Data were collected online in 2020-2021 including respondents' willingness to accept a COVID-19 vaccine, factors that may promote vaccine acceptance, and prior history of influenza vaccination. Logistic regression models were conducted to estimate the associations between vaccine hesitancy and demographic characteristics, substance use, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and prior influenza vaccination. Among 387 respondents, 49.1% were willing to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, 26.0% were unwilling, and 24.9% were "not sure." Blacks, suburban or rural residents, those who lived by themselves or with a family with five members or above, those who were not stressed because of the COVID-19 pandemic were more likely to say "no" to a COVID-19 vaccine. Respondents who never, only once, or during some years received an influenza vaccine were 7.0, 6.2, and 5.2 times more likely to say "no" to a COVID-19 vaccine than respondents who received an influenza vaccination every year or almost every year. The use of cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and marijuana, as well as heavy drinking of alcohol, were not associated with COVID-19 hesitancy. The associations between demographic factors and vaccine hesitancy were roughly similar for COVID-19 and influenza vaccines. Although various demographic groups have different levels of vaccine hesitancy and also have different factors to increase their acceptance, addressing misinformation related to COVID-19 vaccines, particularly concern about the safety of the vaccines is crucial in general.In the present study Isospora feroxis Berto, Luz, Flausino, Ferreira & Lopes, 2009 is redescribed from the photosyntypes and from new samples from a short-crested flycatcher Myiarchus ferox (Gmelin), which is the type-host in the type-locality, the Marambaia Island in Southeastern Brazil. In addition, the yellow-olive flycatcher Tolmomyias sulphurescens Spix is recorded as a new host for this species, in a new locality, the Itatiaia National Park, in the interior of Southeastern Brazil, providing a preliminary genotypic characterization via sequencing of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI) gene. Micropyle and rough oöcyst wall are added to the description of I. feroxis, in addition to other details. This is the sixth species identified from suboscine birds (Tyranni) to have a COI gene sequence deposited in GenBank and, although it is not yet possible to make conclusions on the phylogeny of Isospora spp. from Passeriformes by the COI gene, the molecular analysis confirmed the differences between coccidian species from tyrant-flycatchers.Turnover in community mental health clinics threaten the delivery of quality behavioral health services; recovery orientation has been shown to be associated with lower levels of burnout but its relationship with actual turnover has not yet been examined. This study aimed to examine the relationship between provider perceptions of recovery orientation and 12-month turnover status among community mental health providers. Secondary data analyses were conducted with data collected from 224 community mental health providers from ten organizations across 14 clinic sites participating in a larger effectiveness-implementation trial. Chi square analyses were used to examine between-site variation in 1-year turnover rates among the ten organizations. Logistic regression was used to examine effects of perceptions of recovery orientation along with known predictors of turnover among community mental health providers. Results revealed no between-site variation in organizational turnover rates. The logistic regression model was statistically significant, χ2(17) = 47.64, p  less then  .0001 and explaining 30% (Nagelkerke R2) of within-site variance and correctly classifying 79% of cases. Perceptions of recovery orientation emerged as the sole significant predictor of 12-month turnover status, with higher levels of recovery orientation significantly associated with lower odds of turnover at 12 months [B = .90, p = .008, OR 2.47 (95% CI 1.23, 4.82)]. Perceptions of recovery orientation was protective against 12-month turnover status suggesting that a more person-centered and empowering approach to care may improve the provider experience. More research is needed to further understand how recovery orientation can contribute to workforce stability.Employing natural or artificial sunscreens is essential to protect the skin from ultraviolet radiations that cause premature aging and develop melanoma and other forms of skin cancer. The 2-Phenylbenzimidazole-5-sulfonic acid, commonly known as ensulizole is a water-soluble artificial sunscreen that absorb UV-B (280 nm - 315 nm) radiations and protects the skin against the harmful effects of these radiations. We have measured steady-state photoluminescence (SSPL) spectra and photoluminescence (PL) kinetics of this compound in various conditions. Steady-state absorption indicates a strong absorption feature at 303 nm and a weak one at 316 nm that have been identified as π → π* and n → π* transitions, respectively. The spectra of PL induced by these absorptions indicate that the PL of ensulizole is less Stokes-shifted in polar solvents and more Stokes-shifted in non-polar solvents. The average PL lifetime of ensulizole is longer in non-polar solvents than in polar solvents and it exhibits the shortest PL lifetime in aqueous medium that maximize its transition efficiency in water. This suggests in non-polar solvents intersystem crossing is the dominant mode of relaxation of the excited ππ* state. Furthermore, an increase of pH of ensulizole solution decreases the PL intensity and the lifetime. Stern-Volmer equation is employed to evaluate bimolecular quenching rate constant kq. The evaluation result suggests the diffusional dynamic mode of PL quenching is operative.This study is devoted to the development of a methodological approach to mathematical analysis and data interpretation of blood serum phosphorescence intensity in cancer patients for determining the pathological states and differential diagnostics of oncological process stages. Bozitinib in vivo The purpose of the study is blood serum phosphorescence research in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and stomach adenocarcinoma (SAC) and determination of the ultraweak luminescence role for diagnostics of the disease, determining its stages, control of pathogenetic therapy efficiency and forecast of recovery. The values of phosphorescence intensity of blood serum films in patients with CRC and SAC are significantly higher than the corresponding values for the control group. Contrary to the absolute intensity, the relative intensity increase compared to the control group is much more informative for oncoprocess diagnostics, since it exhibits three times increase even at the first stage of tumoral process. Serum phosphorescence intensity continues to increase with progressing of the disease.
