The Implementation of the Biopsychosocial Model: Individuals With Alcohol Use Disorder and Post‐Traumatic Stress Disorder by Fernando Hinostroza, Michele M. Mahr

“…Given that these disorders frequently coexist, we analyze mechanisms through which alcohol serves as a coping strategy for PTSD symptoms, particularly highlighting the drinking‐to‐cope self‐medication model, which suggests that alcohol use exacerbates PTSD symptoms and complicates recovery. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted across multiple databases, including PubMed and Google Scholar, to identify studies examining the intersection of the biopsychosocial model with PTSD, AUD, and associated neural alterations. …”

Evolution of Dry/Wet Climate in Xichang from 1961 to 2016 by XIAO Xiwen, ZHANG Yunlu, LIU Chunhong, WANG Yuefeng

“…Regional climate analysis can optimize and supplement global climate research,and it is of vital significance for predicting regional climate changes and extreme weather.Based on the daily temperature and precipitation data from 1961 to 2016 in Xichang city,this paper systematically reveals the characteristics of temperature,precipitation,and dry and wet climate changes at annual and inter-annual scales by using the cumulative anomaly method,nonparametric trend analysis of time series (innovative trend analysis (ITA) method and ITA-change boxes (ITA-CB) method) and standardized precipitation evaporation index (SPEI).The results show that:① The distribution characteristics of annual temperature and precipitation in Xichang are similar,with the maximum value of both appearing in July.Moreover,the minimum temperature and precipitation appear in January and February,respectively.The average inter-annual and inter-decadal temperatures increase obviously,and the average inter-decadal precipitation improves slowly.② For the past 56 years,Xichang has witnessed apparent dry and wet climate changes.SPEI has dropped in a fluctuating tendency.In addition,it is negatively correlated with temperature (p<0.05) but positively correlated with precipitation (p<0.01).As temperature increases significantly,the drought degree has become more and more serious since 2003,and the negative value of SPEI accounts for 78.6%.The proportion of drought to extreme drought has increased to 28.6% in 2010.③ The average annual precipitation increases in low-value regions but decreases in high-value regions.The average annual temperature rises both in low-value regions and high-value regions and basically maintains an increasing tendency in median regions.SPEI increases in low-value regions but decreases in median and high-value regions.The research results can provide a reference for Xichang in dealing with climate change and formulating disaster prevention and mitigation plans.…”

Review of how we should define (and measure) adherence in studies examining older adults' participation in exercise classes by C Todd, H Hawley-Hague, M Horne, D A Skelton

“…Adherence is poor and reporting of adherence differs considerably between studies.Objective To explore how adherence to exercise classes for older people is defined in the literature and devise a definition for pooling data on adherence in future studies.Design Methodological review of the approaches used to measure adherence.Methods A review of the literature was carried out using narrative synthesis, based on systematic searches of MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and PsychINFO. 2 investigators identified eligible studies and extracted data independently.Results 37 papers including 34 studies were identified. 7 papers (7 studies) defined adherence as completion (retention). 30 papers (27 studies) identified adherence using attendance records. 12 papers (11 studies) based adherence on duration of exercise and 5 papers (4 studies) specified the intensity with which participants should exercise. …”

RESEARCH ON FAILURE MECHANISM OF FRICTION-WEAR OF TUBING STRING IN 3 H CURVED WELL (MT) by GUO XiaoQiang, LI Xiao, LIU Jun, HUANG Liang, FANG DaKe, WEI AnChao

“…On this basis, the influence of production rate, well angle, well section length, packer position and centralizer position on wear characteristics of tubing is systematically analyzed. The safety control methods of tubing string were proposed, namely, which shown that, firstly, with the increase of production rate, the wear life of the string decreases, and there is a sudden value, which can be determine using the analysis method, so that the field production allocation should be far away from the sudden production rate. …”
