Factors impacting hospitalisation and related health service costs in cancer survivors in Australia: Results from a population data linkage study in Queensland (COS‐Q) by Katharina M. D. Merollini, Louisa G. Collins, Andrew T. Jones, Joanne F. Aitken, Michael G. Kimlin

“…Methods A population‐based, retrospective, data linkage study was conducted in Queensland (COS‐Q), Australia, including individuals diagnosed with a first primary cancer who incurred healthcare costs between 2013 and 2016. Generalised linear models were fitted to explore associations between socio‐demographic (age, sex, country of birth, marital status, occupation, geographic remoteness category and socio‐economic index) and clinical (cancer type, year of/time since diagnosis, vital status and care type) factors with mean annual hospital costs and mean episode costs. …”

Effect of a mindfulness-based cognitive behavior therapy intervention on occupational burnout among school teachers by Netra Raj Paudel, Netra Raj Paudel, Prakash K. C., Prakash K. C., Clas-Håkan Nygård, Clas-Håkan Nygård, Subas Neupane, Subas Neupane

“…Teachers in the treatment arm (n=102) received MB-CBT, while those in the control arm (n=116) continued their regular activities. Linear regression models with generalized estimating equations were used to calculate the mean, mean change estimates, and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs).ResultsThe mean level of EE decreased during the post-test for both treatment (mean change -0.93, 95% CI: -2.56 to 0.70) and control (-1.71, 95% CI: -3.24 to -0.18) arms. …”

Transfert des connaissances sur la cryosphère entre les montagnes au niveau mondial : Une étude de cas des montagnes de l’Ouest canadien, des Alpes européennes et des Scandes.... by Emilie Stewart-Jones, Stephan Gruber

“…Cela permet de comprendre où les conditions du pergélisol peuvent être comparées et où de nouvelles recherches sont nécessaires.Dans cette application, nous concluons qu’un transfert direct des connaissances sur les régimes de température du sol et les modèles spatiaux des Scandes et des Alpes à l’ouest du Canada n’est pas approprié parce que (1) les régions de l’ouest du Canada reçoivent plus de rayonnement solaire que celles des Scandes, et moins que celles des Alpes, (2) les régions de l’ouest du Canada sont plus continentales que les Scandes et les Alpes, (3) les régions de l’ouest du Canada s’étendent dans des conditions beaucoup plus froides que les Scandes et les Alpes, et (4) le chevauchement des variables climatiques se concentre dans de petites régions. …”
