Comparative analysis of breast and lung cancer survival rates and clinical trial enrollments among rural and urban patients in Georgia

Objectives:Rural patients have poor cancer outcomes and clinical trial(CT)enrollment compared to urban patients due to attitudinal,awareness,and healthcare access differential.Knowledge of cancer survival disparities and CT enrollment is important for designing interventions and innovative approaches to address the stated barriers.The study explores the potential disparities in cancer survival rates and clinical trial enrollments in rural and urban breast and lung cancer patients.Our hypotheses are that for both cancer types,urban cancer patients will have longer 5-year survival rates and higher enrollment rates in clinical trials than those in rural counties.Methods:We compared breast and lung cancer patients’survival rates and enrollment ratios in clinical trials between rural(RUCC 4-9)and urban counties in Georgia at a Comprehensive Cancer Center(CCC).To assess these differences,we carried out a series of independent samples t-tests and Chi-Square tests.Results:The outcomes indicate comparable 5-year survival rates across rural and urban counties for breast and lung cancer patients,failing to substantiate our hypothesis.While clinical trial enrollment rates demonstrated a significant difference between breast and lung cancer patients at CCC,no significant variation was observed based on rural or urban classification.Conclusion:These findings underscore the need for further research into the representation of rural patients with diverse cancer types at CCC and other cancer centers.Further,the findings have considerable implications for the initiation of positive social change to improve CT participation and reduce cancer survival disparities.

The Impact of Demographics and Cultural Tourism on University Enrollments in Calabria, Italy

The decline in the birth rate,which has been uninterrupted in Italy since the mid-1960s,has had a significant impact on many aspects of society.As far as the educational system is concerned,this phenomenon has acted like a wave,first causing a decline in the population of the first school age groups,then in the other groups,until recently affecting the 19-25 age group,which includes the majority of university students.As a result,the majority of Italian universities have seen a decline over time in both enrollments(matriculations)and student numbers(enrollments),although the situation varies from one area to another.In the Mezzogiorno,this trend is even more pronounced,since an increasing number of resident students tend to favor universities in the Centre-North,creating a South-Centre-North movement,which could be compared to a particular form of cultural tourism,without a similar flow in the opposite direction.Finally,the study highlights the probable consequences of the recent demographic depopulation on the future trend of university enrollment of residents aged 19-25 in the Calabria region,using the most recent demographic projections of Istat and constructing two evolutionary scenarios.In the first scenario,we have assumed that in the near future university enrollment rates remain constant throughout the period considered;in the second scenario,these rates instead experience a gradual and continuous increase.These results could be useful if further forecasts of university enrollments were to be made at the level of individual Calabrian universities.

Policy-Driven Development and the Strategic Initiative of One-Million Enrollment Expansion in China’s Higher Vocational Education

Purpose:This article explores the relationship between governmental policy and the development of higher vocational education in China.Design/Approach/Methods:The article begins with a textual analysis of dozens of policy documents on higher vocational education issued by the Chinese government since 1999.Findings:The article argues that the development of higher vocational education in China has been largely policy-driven.This development can be divided into four stages:scale development,quality improvement,capacity building,and systemwide enhancement.The transition between each of these developmental stages was marked by new policy initiatives undertaken by the Chinese government.Originality/Value:The government’s recent efforts to expand higher vocational education enrollment by one million students have significant implications for China’s higher vocational education.Additionally,the proposed“1 + X”model—which attaches equal importance to academic education and skill training—may represent the beginning of a new stage in the development of higher vocational education in China.

Numerical simulation of particle formation and evolution in a vehicle exhaust plume using the bimodal Taylor expansion method of moments

The bimodal Taylor expa nsion method of moments (B-TEMOM) model scheme was developed to simulate the formation and evolution of vehicle exhaust particles. Two independent types of log-normal particle size distributions were selected in the B-TEMOM model scheme, comprising large and small particles to represent background (i.e., the surrounding environment) and vehicle exhaust particles, respectively. Concentration distributions of exhaust and background particles derived using this model scheme were verified against results from a moving secti onal method and the bimodal quadrature method of moments, showing excellent agreement. The effects of vehicle tailpipe ex 让 cond 让 ions (e.g., exhaust particle concentrations and velocity), sulfurcontent, and relative humidity on the evoluti on of particles were investigated numerically. Both two-dimensional and three-dimensional numerical simulations showed that tailpipe exit velocity and relative humid让y did not greatly affect the steady-state concentrations or the diameters of particles in urban atmospheres. Although an increase in sulfur content had little effect on the particle concentration, it led to background particles with larger geometric average diameter entering the environment. This coupled CFD-B-TEMOM numerical model provides a simple but accurate and efficient method for studying bimodal aerosol dynamics.

Feasibility Study of Enforcing Immunization Certificate Check Before Primary School or Kindergarten Enrollment in Guizhou Province, China

Objective To study the feasibility of enforcing immunization certificate check before children enroll in primary schools or kindergartens in Guizhou Province. Methods Quantitative and qualitative studies were conducted. The multi-stage and cluster sampling approach was adopted for the quantitative part of the study. A questionnaire was designed and 996 children and their keepers were interviewed. Principals, doctors or teachers of the primary schools, directors and child care nurses of kindergarten, and staff of immunization agencies were invited to take part in 12 focus group discussions; meanwhile, face-to-face individual in-depth interviews with 16 officials of the Health, Education and Governmental Departments at various levels were conducted. Results The total number of subjects was 996. 16.7% of the children in the study completed all the procedures of the National Immunization Programme. 34.3% of them had immunization certificates while the remainder 44.7% registered in immunization agencies. Factors, including the migrant children, doubt about vaccine efficiency, mother’s occupation and educational background, knowledge of the National Immunization Programme on targeted vaccines, played an important role in obtaining or not immunization certificates. 95% of the keepers interviewed thought the immunization certificates were useful; 94.8% of them considered the check was critical while only 3.6% of them thought it unnecessary. The first reason from those who found it unnecessary was that they feared that repeated immunization might affect their children’s health. The second reason was the cost of immunization, which some of them could not afford to pay. However, the Health Department expressed a favorable attitude to the checking scheme. Though the Education Department agreed that the scheme was essential, they worried that it would affect the enrollment rate.Conclusion In spite of the difficulty in administering immunization certificate check, the effort would be rewarding for raising the immunization coverage rate among the children in Guizhou Province.

What Is the Impact of Major Diversion Attitude on Undergraduates' Learning Gains?--The Mediating Role of Course Perception

Major diversion is an important part of the large-category student enrollment and training model.The degree to which undergraduates recognize the logic of the major diversion system,their satisfaction with the diverted major,and their major identity after diversion all influence their subsequent learning process and outcomes.The questionnaire survey of undergraduates in this study discovered that major diversion attitude has a significant positive effect on undergraduates'learning gains;the mediating effect test discovered that course perception plays a partially mediating role between major diversion attitude and learning gains.Therefore,under the large-category student enrollment and training model,it is necessary to improve the major diversion system in terms of formulation,major selection guidance,and major identity promotion.Furthermore,strengthening the logical connection and content coupling of different types of courses,dealing with the proportion,priority,and sequence of courses,optimizing the allocation of course resources,and reasonably planning and setting courses all play an important role in improving undergraduate learning gains.

Factors Influencing Students Decisions to Enrollment in Sudanese Higher Education Institutions

There is a growing body of literature that recognizes the importance of data mining in educational systems. This recognition makes educational data mining a new growing research community. One way to achieve the highest level of quality in a higher education system is by discovering knowledge from educational data such as students’ enrollment data. Many mining tools that aim to discover exciting correlations, frequent patterns, associations, or casual structures among sets of items in educational data sets have been proposed. One of the widely used tools is association rules. In this paper, the Apriori algorithm is used to generate association rules to discover the importance and correlation between factors that influence student’s decision to enroll in higher education institutions in Sudan. The algorithm is applied using a student’s enrollment data set that was created using a questionnaire and 800 students enrolled in governmental and private sector universities as a sample. This paper classifies factors that influence enrollment into: student’s demographic factors and four categories of enrollment related factors (Student and Society, Educational Institution, Admission, and Employment related factors), and determines the most influential factors in determining student’s decision to enroll in Sudanese universities. The analysis result shows that the Educational Institution related factors (50%) and Admission related factors (40%) are strongly influencing students’ enrollment decision, while the Employment related factors (10%) and Student and Society related factors (0%) have weak influence. The factors out of the 14 Educational Institution related factors that have a high impact are: reputation, diversity of study, quality of education, education facilities, and feasibility.

The Role of Recruitment and Retention in Clinical Trials

It is evident that both recruitment and retention play critical roles in clinical trials. Recruitment and retention models are beginning to be analyzed worldwide in an effort to assess how to conduct studies more efficiently, all the while, allowing researchers to provide sound and ethical data to help advance medicine through clinical studies. Sponsors and sites have recognized that clinical trial enrollment must become more diverse and inclusive. In this review, we address the important topics of recruitment and retention in clinical trials. Specifically, the obstacles in regard to recruiting vulnerable populations. Methodologies to improve both the understanding of the study population and community engagement are outlined. In particular, newer strategies such as use of social media and more reliable strategies such as trust and relationship building are described in detail. A strong focus on recruitment is becoming widely recognized as being of such importance that consideration is given to this key component even during initial protocol development. Attention to recruitment and retention in the strategic planning process of clinical trials can mitigate enrollment issues that clinical researchers are experiencing.

Awareness of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and treatment guidelines:What are physicians telling us?

BACKGROUND There is an acute need to raise awareness of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease/nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NAFLD/NASH)among primary care physicians,endocrinologists and diabetologists to improve patient identification and address the current difficulties in NASH clinical trial enrollment.We examined the extent of knowledge and practice regarding NASH diagnosis and management guidelines.A randomized online convenience survey of 12869 physicians drawn from a national physician database of primary care physicians(PCPs),and gastroenterology and endocrinology specialists were queried via online survey.Our results,based on a cohort of 185 respondents,showed gaps in knowledge and practice between these three groups of practitioners,with primary care providers having the lowest adherence to published guidelines for diagnosis of NASH.Without clear knowledge and patient identification at the point of presentation-which is often in primary care or with specialties other than hepatology–many patients with NAFLD and NASH will remain undiagnosed and untreated,and clinical studies will continue to struggle with patient recruitment,hindering clinical development and optimal patient care.AIM To determine knowledge base concerning NASH diagnosis amongst gastroenterologists,endocrinologists and primary care physicians to improve referrals into clinical trials.METHODS A randomized online convenience survey of 12869 physicians drawn from a national physician database of PCPs,and gastroenterology and endocrinology specialists was conducted yielding a sample of 185 respondents.RESULTS The survey revealed that many physicians are either unaware of testing options other than biopsy,or do not use them in practice.Only 46%of endocrinologists and 42%of primary care physicians indicated they would refer a patient for specialist workup if they suspected NASH.Risk(25%)and inconvenience to patients(18%)are given as reasons for not referring those with suspected NASH for biopsy.For standard diagnostic algorithms such as Fibrosis-4 score,18%of PCPs,30%of endocrinologists and 65%gastroenterologists reported using these tests in clinical practice.CONCLUSION Substantial gaps in knowledge of the differences between NAFLD and NASH exist between these physician groups,with knowledge being particularly low among primary care doctors and endocrinologists.The use of a simple noninvasive screening algorithm may help to identify the right patients for clinical trials,which in turn will be vital to the development of effective and welltolerated treatments for this increasingly ubiquitous condition.

Appeal of 3 ＋ 4 Program： Good Students are Few but Growing at Secondary Vocational Schools in Shanghai

Secondary vocational education in Shanghai continues to experiment in an attempt to find ways to solve the decline of student enrollment and adjust to rapidly changing social and economic environments. The 3 ＋ 4 Pilot Program （three-year secondary vocational education and four-year undergraduate education） has been under experiment since 2014. It has attracted more and more academically good junior middle school graduates to secondary vocational schools with the national and local favorable policies and laws. Except the three-year’s hand-on practice, what appeals most to the junior middle school graduates is the academic transfer under the Program, a breakthrough in history of vocation education in China. However, only initiating a new program is not enough. Shanghai government should map out a long-term plan to set up promotion to increase the public awareness to change the long prevailing outdated ideology in order to add more to its appeal of the Program. There is still much work to be done before expanding the scope of the Program.

Estimation of Cancer Progression Based Clinical Trial Subgroups

Cancer trials often start investigational therapy at diagnosis or after a selected number of relapses.These are the usual core inclusion criteria in clinical trials.Hence it is helpful when planning a trial to know the likely percentages of patients receiving standard therapy at clinics and hospitals who meet this key inclusion criteria of being newly diagnosed during a period or having just had their first,second or third relapse during an anticipated enrollment time frame.Often regulatory agencies will have approvals tied to the use of a therapy in a relapsed context or in a newly diagnosed context.We provide details on calculations to help those in clinical trial operations make realistic assessments on the number of sites and likely enrollment at clinical trial sites,and the enrollment time frames that might be needed to complete planned total patient enrollment.The estimates complement site feasibility questionnaires which are often sent to gauge patient availability and site interest.

Informed consent process: ethical and practical challenges in clinical trials regarding subject enrollment, protection, and informed consent in developing countries (India, Pakistan & Iran)

In this study,we are discussing the rationale behind informed consent in clinical trials in developing countries.It elaborates how informed consent has remained an ethical and practical issue.Poverty,endemic diseases,and a lack of investment in healthcare systems influence the ease of conducting and selecting trials that can benefit the people of developing countries.Differences in cultural perspectives,religious beliefs,a lack of formal training for clinical staff,children,time zone difference,literacy,vulnerable population,and language barriers for subject enrollment,protection,and informed are also challenges.This report doesn’t only highlight the right the wrongs of the past or reiterate cases where clinical trials have hurt subjects in developing countries.The current study investigates the conditions of human research in developing countries to make them more ethically sound.The extends proposals to investigators,scientists,governments,sponsors,and other groups who are interested where appropriate.
