Methods: Databases were searched for scholarly articles using keywords associated with transnational healthcare.
Background: Homestay accommodations aim to support a smoother transition for refugees; yet, the intricate nature of relationships between refugees and their hosting families can make this process complex, which, in turn, can affect their health and well-being. It is crucial to grasp the experiences of both refugees and their host families in order to foster effective settlement, integration, and well-being.
Objective: The purpose of this scoping review is to explore the dynamics of homestay or hosting with a focus on understanding the experiences of both refugees and their hosting families to identify gaps in the literature and propose directions for future research.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores how antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) change with the seasons in a wastewater treatment plant in Beijing, revealing significant seasonal patterns, especially in winter and spring when high-risk ARGs are most abundant.
- Advanced technologies, including metagenomics and machine learning models, were employed to understand the relationship between ARGs and bacterial communities, identifying key biomarkers linked to these seasonal variations.
- The research highlights the influence of specific bacterial genera, particularly those associated with human health risks, on the prevalence of high-risk ARGs, offering insights for better management of wastewater sludge disposal.
The COVID pandemic brought to light the pressing issues of social isolation and loneliness for older adults. Immigrant older adults' experience of loneliness is even more exacerbated by factors, such as, language barriers, and the loss of cultural community. Key determinants of loneliness in older immigrants are not clear in the literature.
