Building trust in rural communities: recruitment and retention strategies in developmental science by Ava Reck, Lauren Holley, Kyle Bower, Sarah Whitaker, Caroline Hall, Courtney Brown, Alison Berg, Caroline Alvarado, Diane Bales, Katharine Suma, Kimberly Fowler, Charles Geier, Assaf Oshri

“…This manuscript examines the recruitment and retention strategies aimed to facilitate trust and engagement in a longitudinal study involving rural participants in Northeast Georgia.MethodologyThe continuum of community engagement model suggests that research recruitment efforts should involve more than direct participant outreach, toward a multifaceted, community-driven approach. The current study employs a mixed-methods framework to evaluate these strategies in fostering trust and participant engagement. …”

Effect of Protein Concentration on the Corrosion Behavior of Magnesium Alloys by MA Yucong, WANG Pengjie, OUYANG Zhengzheng, Mohd TALHA, LIN Yuanhua

“…When magnesium alloy is used in the human physiological environment， it will be affected by protein.In this work， the corrosion mechanism of a magnesium alloy in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing various concentrations of bovine serum albumin (BSA) (0，0.5， 1.0， 1.5， 2.0， 3.5 and 5.0 g/L) was systematically investigated.Surface characterisation was carried out by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)， scanning electron microscopy (SEM)，energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and contact-angle measurements，whereas electrochemical behaviour was evaluated through potentiodynamic polarisation， electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM).Complementary immersion tests were performed to corroborate the electrochemical findings.To elucidate the time-dependent effect of protein concentration， the electrochemical response and corrosion products of specimens immersed for 1， 3 and 7 d in solutions containing 0， 2.0 and 5.0 g/L BSA were also examined.Results showed that the presence of BSA up to 2.0 g/L reduced the corrosion rate， and the minimum corrosion current density occurred at 2.0 g/L，whereas a higher concentration (5.0 g/L) of BSA significantly accelerated localized corrosion of magnesium alloy surface.In the later stages of immersion， the overall corrosion resistance of the alloy deteriorated.When the BSA concentration was kept below 2.0 g/L， protein molecules formed a monolayer via chemisorption on the alloy surface， leading to a continuous decrease in corrosion rate with increasing BSA concentration.During prolonged immersion， this non-dense adsorbed layer was penetrated by the corrosive medium and consequently lost its protective effect.At 5.0 g/L BSA， protein molecules chelated the metal ions released from the alloy， forming soluble complexes that accelerated corrosion.With further immersion， the continual deposition， detachment and chelation of high-concentration BSA further intensified the dissolution of the magnesium alloy.…”

Exploring the relationship between vitamin B12, methylmalonic acid levels and all-cause mortality in heart failure populations: insights from the NHANES database by Wei Yu, Yao Wang, Yao Wang, Yao Wang, Yulu Zhou, Danyu Wu, Danyu Wu, Danyu Wu

“…Moreover, the correlation between MMA and mortality risk was more prominent in HF populations with poorer health status, such as advanced age, current smokers, hypertension, diabetes, overweight, or low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).ConclusionOur study indicated that a higher MMA level is associated with an increased all-cause mortality risk in HF populations, particularly in those aged 65 and above, current smokers, those with hypertension, diabetes, overweight, insufficient physical activity, or lower eGFR (<60 mL/min/1.73 m2).…”

ОРТАЛЫҚ АЗИЯДАҒЫ АДАМ ДАМУЫНЫҢ ПРОБЛЕМАЛАРЫ МЕН МҮМКІНДІКТЕРІ by Z. K. Chulanova, G. Kairatkyzy

“…In addition, economic-statistical methods were used, as well as rating, comparison, and generalization; data of the United Nations Development Program, the World Bank, the World Economic Forum, the Committee on Statistics of the Ministry of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan were used.Based on the analysis of the dynamics of indicators characterizing life expectancy, level of education, gross national income per capital, the place of Central Asian countries in the global HDI ranking is determined, the problems and factors affecting its formation are identified, competitive advantages, disadvantages and prospects of human development in the states of the region are determined.In particular, in Kazakhstan, despite the achievements in socio-economic development and increased welfare, among the priorities remains the need to implement a set of measures to expand the parameters of human development towards a qualitative change in this process in the context of the formation of an innovative economy.…”
