Effectiveness and Acceptability of a Nutrition Intervention Targeting Chinese Adult Immigrants With Type 2 Diabetes in Canada: A Study Using Mixed-Methods Analysis.

Objectives: Although culturally tailored diabetes treatment is recommended, there is a lack of relevant dietary resources for the Chinese population in Canada. In this study, we assessed the feasibility and efficacy of a culturally tailored menu plan combined with nutrition education on clinical outcomes, diet quality and qualitative outcomes among Chinese immigrants with type 2 diabetes.

Methods: Participants were 17 Chinese immigrants living with type 2 diabetes in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

A Hybrid SVD-Based Denoising and Self-Adaptive TMSST for High-Speed Train Axle Bearing Fault Detection.

Fault detection of axle bearings is crucial to promote the safe, efficient, and reliable running of high-speed trains. In recent decades, time-frequency analysis (TFA) techniques have been widely used in mechanical equipment fault diagnoses. Time-reassigned multisynchrosqueezing transform (TMSST), as a novel time-frequency representation (TFR) algorithm, is more suitable for dealing with strong frequency-varying signals.

Sparse representation of parametric dictionary based on fault impact matching for wheelset bearing fault diagnosis.

Wheelset bearing is one of the crucial rotating elements in the train bogie. Detection of wheelset bearing defect comes with many challenges due to complex wheel/rail excitation and the horrible working condition. The parametric dictionary sparse representation provides a practical path to detect the weak fault of wheelset bearing.

Nutrition Interventions for Type 2 Diabetes in Chinese Populations: A Scoping Review.

Developing culturally appropriate diabetes nutrition interventions for immigrants could be facilitated knowing what is successful in the home country and other relevant countries. The primary purpose of this scoping review was to identify the design and delivery methods of nutrition interventions for Chinese populations with type 2 diabetes, in their home countries and as immigrants to western countries. A total of 14 articles was retrieved and included.

Acculturation, Dietary Acceptability, and Diabetes Management among Chinese in North America.

Immigrants to a new country face many challenges when diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, a chronic disease with a complex treatment involving both medical and behavioral interventions. These challenges will depend upon the extent to which the patient has adapted to the new country's social and cultural norms, as well as individual factors such as age, education, and gender. This adaptation is termed acculturation.
