Background: Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), and may cause fever, nausea, headache, or meningitis. It is currently unclear whether the epidemiological characteristics of the JEV have been affected by the extreme climatic conditions that have been observed in recent years.
Objective: This study aimed to examine the epidemiological characteristics, trends, and potential risk factors of JE in Taiwan from 2008 to 2020.

Introduction: Faced with a backdrop of an increasing chronic disease burden from an ageing global population compounded with rising healthcare costs, health systems are required to implement cost-effective, safe and equitable care through efficient service delivery models. One approach to achieving this is through Starfield's 4Cs of primary healthcare (PHC), which delineates the key attributes of a high-performing PHC system that upholds the pillars of care coordination, first contact of care, continuity of care and comprehensive care. Therefore, this study aims to explore and elucidate the key themes and subthemes related to and extending beyond Starfield's 4Cs of PHC by integrating findings from a comprehensive literature review and a qualitative study.

Recent progress in Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) has facilitated their extensive application in recommendation, yielding notable performance gains. Nevertheless, existing GCN-based recommendation approaches are confronted with several challenges: (1) how to effectively leverage multi-order graph connectivity to derive meaningful node embeddings; (2) faced with sparse raw data, how to augment supervision signals without relying on auxiliary information; (3) given that GCNs necessitate the aggregation of neighborhood nodes, and the sparsity of these nodes can exacerbate the impact of noise data, how to mitigate the noise problem inherent in the raw data. For tackling aforementioned challenges, we devise a new hybrid propagation GCN-based method named S3HGN, incorporating a simplified self-supervised learning paradigm for recommendation.
