Purpose: This study aims to understand how workplace bullying affects knowledge sharing among employees in Chinese scientific and technological enterprises.
Methodology: A convenience sampling method was employed to survey 275 employees from scientific and technological enterprises of Yangtze River Delta, China. The survey utilized a general information questionnaire, a workplace bullying scale, an organizational belonging scale, a knowledge sharing scale, and a forbearance scale.
Rapid corrosion in aqueous solutions of magnesium alloys is one of the major obstacles to their wide application, and coating plays a crucial role in their corrosion protection. Recently, protection- and function-integrated coatings have attracted much attention in the research field of magnesium alloys. In this work, a simple chemical conversion process is proposed to fabricate a composite coating on a magnesium-neodymium alloy through immersion in an aqueous solution made of Ca(OH) and NaHCO.

This study aimed to assess inter-rater reliability (IRR) in a retrospective electronic medical chart review to create high quality labeled data on comorbidities and adverse events (AEs).
Methods: Six registered nurses with diverse clinical backgrounds reviewed patient charts, extracted data on 20 predefined comorbidities and 18 AEs.
Background: Accessing health rights is an integral component of people's aspirations for a better life. Existing discussions and evaluations regarding the accessibility of health rights for minority rural migrants are insufficient. In comparison to objective health conditions, inequalities in health rights lead to chronic and long-term depletion of human capital among minority rural migrants.

Existing studies mainly discussed the factors affecting the social integration of rural migrants from the micro-individual and macro-system levels. Still, they seldom analyzed the differences between rural migrants' residential communities and the roles these differences play in their social integration, especially from the perspective of residential space.

Automated detection of falls using machine learning (ML) algorithms may aid in improving patient safety and reducing the occurrence of falls.
Objective: This study aims to develop and evaluate an ML algorithm for inpatient fall detection using multidisciplinary progress record notes and a pretrained Bidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformers (BERT) language model.
Changes in RNA editing are closely associated with diseases such as cancer, viral infections, and autoimmune disorders. Adenosine deaminase (ADAR1), which acts on RNA 1, plays a key role in adenosine to inosine editing and is a potential therapeutic target for these various diseases. The p150 subtype of ADAR1 is the only one that contains a Zα domain that binds to both Z-DNA and Z-RNA.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included adult patients (age ≥ 18 years) admitted to Calgary, Canada acute care hospitals who underwent primary total elective hip (THA) or knee (TKA) arthroplasty between Jan 1st, 2013 and Aug 31st, 2020.
Background: Measurement of SARS-CoV-2 antibody seropositivity is important to accurately understand exposure to infection and/or vaccination in specific populations. This study aimed to estimate the serologic response to SARS-CoV-2 virus infection and vaccination in children in Calgary, Alberta over a two-year period.
Methods: Children with or without prior SARS-CoV-2 infections, were enrolled in Calgary, Canada in 2020.
Background: Surveillance of hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPI) is often suboptimal when relying on administrative health data, as International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes are known to have long delays and are undercoded. We leveraged natural language processing (NLP) applications on free-text notes, particularly the inpatient nursing notes, from electronic medical records (EMRs), to more accurately and timely identify HAPIs.
Objective: This study aimed to show that EMR-based phenotyping algorithms are more fitted to detect HAPIs than ICD-10-CA algorithms alone, while the clinical logs are recorded with higher accuracy via NLP using nursing notes.

Purpose: Although paclitaxel is widely used in cancer treatment, severe side effects and drug resistance limit its clinical use. 10-gingerol (10-G) is a natural compound isolated from ginger, which displays anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiproliferative properties. However, the chemotherapy-sensitization effect of 10-G on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has not been fully clarified.

However, little is known about the overall performance of ML algorithms in predicting SSIs and how to improve the algorithm's robustness. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize the performance of ML algorithms in SSIs case detection and prediction and to describe the impact of using unstructured and textual data in the development of ML algorithms.

This study aimed to derive and validate a set of natural language processing (NLP)-based machine-learning algorithms to capture pCR from surgical pathology reports of breast cancer patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included all invasive breast cancer patients who underwent NAC and subsequent curative-intent surgery during their admission at all four tertiary acute care hospitals in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2017.
Background: The widely accepted microbiome-gut-brain axis (MGBA) hypothesis may be essential for explaining the impact of high-altitude exposure on the human body, especially brain function. However, studies on this topic are limited, and the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to determine whether high-altitude-induced working memory dysfunction could be exacerbated with gut microbiota disruption.

Taking the Anhui Province of China as an example, this study analyzed the impact of green agricultural science and technology innovation resource allocation on rural revitalization by constructing an econometric model. We found that the overall efficiency of the overall allocation of agricultural science and technology innovation resources in Anhui Province increased in the sample period, but the scale efficiency level was relatively low.

Employee direct involvement and indirect involvement have been identified as essential forms of an enterprise's democratic management in the digital economy. Research on the complementary effects of direct and indirect involvement is still in a blank state in China, which limits the external validity and accumulation of employee participation theory. The present study aimed to investigate the complementary effects of employee direct involvement and indirect involvement on the firm's financial performance.
