Article Synopsis
- The study compares health literacy levels among Polish students aged 13-17 years from surveys conducted in 2018 and 2022, revealing a decline in health literacy scores and an increase in poor self-rated health post-pandemic.
- Data from nearly 6,000 students in 2018 and about 5,000 in 2022 showed that the percentage of students with low health literacy rose sharply from 9.85% to 23.67%, along with a greater disparity in health literacy levels across different schools.
- The research highlights how factors like gender, age, family affluence, and health status interact and influence students’ health literacy, suggesting that the pandemic may have played a significant
Mechanisms by which G-patch activators tune the processive multi-tasking ATP-dependent RNA helicase Prp43 (DHX15 in humans) to productively remodel diverse RNA:protein complexes remain elusive. Here, a comparative study between a herein and previously characterized activators, Tma23 and Pxr1, respectively, defines segments that organize Prp43 function during ribosome assembly. In addition to the activating G-patch, we discover an inhibitory segment within Tma23 and Pxr1, I-patch, that restrains Prp43 ATPase activity.

This article proposes an algorithm that determines the distance between two transceivers based on phase information collected in a specific frequency range. Even though we have focused on BLE technology, we do not necessarily adhere strictly to this standard regarding the procedures used to obtain phased samples. We assume that phase samples are given and propose an algorithm using a Bayesian approach to find delays in a multi-path environment.

The aim of the study is to assess the impact of the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic on the process of weight change among Polish adults.
Material And Methods: Two representative studies involving Polish adults aged 18-65 years were conducted, the first in June 2020 (N = 2527, from the perspective of the last 2-3 months), and the second a year later, in June 2021 (N = 2087, covering the last 12 months).
Article Synopsis
- - Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, many women and children have fled to Poland, making vaccination of these refugees crucial to prevent disease.
- - A study tested different messaging strategies to encourage Ukrainian mothers to vaccinate their children, finding that a message focused on the risks of not vaccinating significantly increased their intention to vaccinate.
- - Key factors influencing vaccination intention included the perceived importance of vaccination and trust in information from official health sources and social media, suggesting that targeted communication can effectively promote health measures among refugees.
