Objectives: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has increased the workload of healthcare workers (HCWs), impacting their health. This study aimed to assess sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and identify factors associated with poor sleep among HCWs in Vietnam during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 1000 frontline HCWs were recruited from various healthcare facilities in Vietnam between October 2021 and November 2021. Data were collected using a 3-part self-administered questionnaire, which covered demographics, sleep quality, and factors related to poor sleep. Poor sleep quality was defined as a total PSQI score of 5 or higher. Results: Participants' mean age was 33.20±6.81 years (range, 20.0-61.0), and 63.0% were women. The median work experience was 8.54±6.30 years. Approximately 6.3% had chronic comorbidities, such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus. About 59.5% were directly responsible for patient care and treatment, while 7.1% worked in tracing and sampling. A total of 73.8% reported poor sleep quality. Multivariate logistic regression revealed significant associations between poor sleep quality and the presence of chronic comorbidities (odds ratio [OR], 2.34; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.17 to 5.24), being a frontline HCW directly involved in patient care and treatment (OR, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.16 to 2.16), increased working hours (OR, 1.84; 95% CI,1.37 to 2.48), and a higher frequency of encountering critically ill and dying patients (OR, 1.42; 95% CI, 1.03 to 1.95). Conclusions: The high prevalence of poor sleep among HCWs in Vietnam during the COVID-19 pandemic was similar to that in other countries. Working conditions should be adjusted to improve sleep quality among this population.

This paper reports a green and direct functionalization of poly(ethylene glycol)-graft-[furfuryl-graft-(poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride))] (PEG-PSMF) on the surface of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs)in aqueous media through Diels-Alder (DA) click reaction. Firstly, novel PEG grafted, furfurylfunctionalized copolymers were prepared by RAFT polymerization followed by ring opening reactions. The functional copolymer was simply grafted on SWCNTs by DA reaction at room temperature underultrasonication. The resulting hybrid materials were characterized by 1H NMR, GPC, UV–vis, FT-IR, TGA,TEM, and DLS. The hybrid materials possessed a high drug loading capacity (DLC) of doxorubicin (DOX),which could reach up to 279.9 wt.% of DLC. Moreover, in vitro drug release profiles showed that drugrelease rate at pH 5.5 under an acidic condition of tumor cell microenvironment was much higher than atpH 7.4 of the physiological condition. MTT assays demonstrated that the hybrid materials did not haveany practical cytotoxicity against the normal HEK293 cell line, while drug loaded hybrids displayed a highantitumor activity towards HeLa cancer cells. This strategy offers a promising SWCNT-based drug carrierfor tumor-targeted chemotherapy.
A Metadata-enabled Approach for Scalable Video Streaming in Heterogeneous Networks
Thang, Truong Cong,Le, Hung T.,Nguyen, Duc V.,Pham, Anh T. Korea Multimedia Society 2015 The journal of multimedia information system Vol.2 No.1
In today's pervasive computing environments, multimedia content should be adapted to meet various conditions of network connections, terminals, and user characteristics. Scalable Video Coding (SVC) is a key solution for video communication over heterogeneous networks, where user terminals have different capabilities. This paper presents a standard-compliant approach that adapts an SVC bitstream to support multiple users. The adaptation problem is formulated as an optimization problem, focusing on the tradeoff between qualities of different spatial layers of an SVC video. Then the adaptation process is represented by standard metadata of MPEG-21, which can be solved by universal processing to enable interoperable and automatic operation. Our approach provides the users with optimal quality, a wide flexibility, and seamless adaptation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that shows the adaptation tradeoff between spatial layers of a conforming SVC bitstream.

When ruminants consume dry forage, they also drink large volumes of water. The objective of this study was to clarify which factor produced when feed boluses enter the rumen is mainly responsible for the marked increase in water intake in the second hour of the 2 h feeding period in large-type goats fed on dry forage for 2 h twice daily. Six large-type male esophageal- and ruminal-fistulated goats (crossbred Japanese Saanen/Nubian, aged 2 to 6 years, weighing $85.1{\pm}4.89kg$) were used in two experiments. In experiment 1, the water deprivation (WD) control and the water availability (WA) treatment were conducted to compare changes in water intake during and after dry forage feeding. In experiment 2, a normal feeding conditions (NFC) control and a feed bolus removal (FBR) treatment were carried out to investigate whether decrease in circulating plasma volume or increase in plasma osmolality is mainly responsible for the marked increase in water intake in the second hour of the 2 h feeding period. The results of experiment 1 showed that in the WA treatment, small amounts of water were consumed during the first hour of feeding while the majority of water intake was observed during the second hour of the 2 h feeding period. Therefore, the amounts of water consumed in the second hour of the 2 h feeding period accounted for 82.8% of the total water intake. The results of experiment 2 indicated that in comparison with the NFC control, decrease in plasma volume in the FBR treatment, which was indicated by increase in hematocrit and plasma total protein concentrations, was higher (p<0.05) in the second hour of the 2 h feeding period. However, plasma osmolality in the FBR treatment was lower (p<0.05) than compared to the NFC control from 30 min after the start of feeding. Therefore, thirst level in the FBR treatment was 82.7% less (p<0.01) compared with that in the NFC control upon conclusion of the 30 min drinking period. The results of the study indicate that the increased plasma osmolality in the second hour of the 2 h feeding period is the main physiological stimulating factor of water intake during and after dry forage feeding in large-type goats.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>The main objective of this research paper is to investigate the positive influence of the stiffeners on the vibration of functionally graded plates based on an exact approach via Navier solution. The plate is reinforced by stiffeners in both longitudinal and transversal directions. The material properties of functionally graded materials (FGMs) media are distributed across the thickness based on a sigmoid-law form and are assumed to be temperature-dependent. By using the Hamilton's principle and the classical plate theory (CPT), the governing equations of motion are obtained. Based on the Navier solution, an exact solution is proposed for natural frequencies of simply supported rectangular plates. In addition, the effects of related parameters on natural frequencies are also addressed in detail. Finally, numerical examples are presented and compared with existing results.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> An exact solution for free vibration analysis. </LI> <LI> Plates are reinforced by longitudinal and transversal stiffeners. </LI> <LI> Based on the Kirchhoff's plate theory. </LI> <LI> Plates are made of sigmoid-functionally graded material (S-FGM). </LI> </UL> </P>

<P>Location awareness creates a new paradigm for distributing scalable multimedia data over wireless networks, enabling a variety of context-aware applications that require precise location information of network nodes. An emerging concept for robust and accurate network localization is to exploit cooperation and heterogeneous design for harnessing multimodal fusion of sensing measurements to extract location information. This article gives a brief introduction to vision- and radio-based positioning technologies, and then presents illustrative machine-learning methodology to successfully integrate vision information and radio time-of-arrival measurements for cooperative localization of ultra-wideband visual radios in harsh indoor environments.</P>

This paper presents an analytical approach to analyze the nonlinear static buckling of imperfect functionally graded carbon nano-reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) plates subjected to axial compression. The material properties of the FG-CNTRC are assumed to be graded through the thickness direction according to several linear distributions of the volume fraction of carbon nanotubes. The theoretical formulations are based on the classical plate theory (Kirchhoff plate) with von Karman-type of nonlinearity and the initial geometrical imperfection. The approximate solution is developed for simply supported and freely movable boundary conditions. By applying the traditional Galerkin method and the Airy stress function, the results for the critical load are obtained in closed-form solutions, which are convenient to be used in engineering design. Some illustrative examples are also presented in details to investigate the effects of the imperfection, carbon nanotubes, and geometrical parameters on the nonlinear static behavior the plates.
