Background And Aims: Since adolescents spend the majority of their daily time at school, understanding the impact of school culture on their experiences seems to be crucial, as it shapes their educational environment and well-being. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the relationship between school culture and academic well-being (AWB) through the mediating role of the satisfaction of the basic psychological needs (SBPN) in students.
Methods: It was a correlational study. The statistical population of the study included all high school students in Kermanshah, Iran in the academic year 2020-2021, among whom 522 students were selected using cluster sampling to be a research sample. The research tools included Academic Well-Being, school culture and basic psychological needs questionnaires.
Results: The structural equations modeling was used in LISREL 8.8 software to analyze the data. The results of data analysis confirmed the appropriate fit of the overall model in sample of the study ( /df = 2.77, GFI = 0.92, IFI = 0.90, CFI = 0.99, RMSEA = 0.06). There was a significant relationship between students' relations and their AWB through SBPN, and also between educational opportunities and AWB through SBPN.
Conclusion: Based on the findings, interventions should focus on fostering a supportive school culture that enhances SBPN in students. This approach may improve students' academic well-being and overall educational experiences.

Intergenerational connectedness broadly encompasses relations among humans, lands, and all living and spiritual beings, and functions as an important part of Indigenous well-being. Many public health campaigns and interventions aim to promote connectedness to support holistic wellness and reduce health inequities. Currently, however, there are no measurement tools to assess intergenerational connectedness to support culturally grounded research and program evaluation.

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a frequent complication in injured patients. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) facilitates rapid identification of many respiratory pathogens prior to formal culture results. Our objective was to evaluate the effect of multiplex PCR implementation in a trauma intensive care unit (TICU) on antibiotic utilization and de-escalation.

Background: Domestic violence (DV) encompasses a pattern of psychological, physical, sexual, financial, and/or emotional abuse, manifesting through assault, threats, and intimidation. Economic and social stressors in conjunction with the COVID-19 pandemic escalated DV cases worldwide, including those in Albania. Socioeconomic vulnerabilities worsened the situation, with DV-related complaints to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Albania increasing by 60% between March and May 2020, compared to the same period in 2019.

Background: Nanomedicine offers a number of innovative strategies to address major public health burdens, including complex respiratory illnesses. In this work, we introduce a multi-drug nanoparticle fabricated using femtosecond laser ablation for the treatment of influenza, SARS-CoV-2, and their co-infections.
Methods: The SARS-CoV-2 antiviral, remdesivir; the influenza antiviral, baloxavir marboxil; and the anti-inflammatory, dexamethasone, were co-crystalized and then ablated in aqueous media using a femtosecond pulsed laser and subsequently surface modified with the cationic polymer, chitosan, or poly-d-lysine.

Background: This article discusses the ethical issues surrounding the integration of long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy (LA-ART) in the programmatic management of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). As the medical landscape evolves, implementing LA-ART introduces many ethical issues that should be considered for the success of scale-up in diverse settings.
Methods: This article examines key issues such as bioethical concerns around the rollout of LA-ART, including regulatory requirements, a person's autonomy, informed consent, privacy and confidentiality; the societal implications of providing LA-ART, including the impact on stigma and discrimination; ethics around who receives LA-ART, financial accessibility, equitable access, inclusive decision-making and cultural sensitivity; and the ethics of providing an expensive intervention, including cost-effectiveness, supply chain sustainability and resource allocation.
