Older, Hypertensive, and Hypercholesterolemic Fairgoers Visit more Booths and Differ in Their Health Concerns at a Community Health Fair

The purpose of this study was to determine whether persons attending a community health fair had different health concerns and booth visitation patterns based on their risk factor profiles. All fairgoers were encouraged to complete an anonymous survey of demographic information, top 4 health concerns, and selected cardiac risk factors. Over the five-hour duration of the fair, 329 surveys were collected from about 450 fairgoers. There were no exclusion criteria for the survey. The fair was sponsored by the Maryland Chapter of the American College of Physicians, organized by medical students from the University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins University, and included 23 booths on a variety of health topics. Older fairgoers and fairgoers with a self-reported history of high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol showed an increased interest in hypertension and heart disease (p < 0.05). Older fairgoers also showed an increased interest in health topics related to aging, such as estrogen replacement therapy and geriatric medicine. Older, hypertensive and hypercholesterolemic fairgoers visited an increased mean number of total booths when compared to other respondents (p < 0.05). Most booths reported a higher percentage of older, hypertensive, and hypercholesterolemic visitors than the overall percentage of fairgoers who reported these risk factors. These results suggest that booth visitation patterns of health fair participants may be viewed as a deliberate attempt by at-risk populations to access health information particular to their needs.     

基于SPSS的高校学生对教师教学评价的定量分析

通过对我校经管学院学生对教师教学评价的数据用SPSS进行分析,得到了除总分排名外的更为细致的描述性的结果,同时进行了方差分析、因子分析、聚类分析,认为需要重视学生评价的结果,但是要做到对教师公平、公正、客观、人性化的评价需要做更多的工作。     

关于我国公立医院会计计量属性的思考

通过对《医院会计制度(1999)》和《医院会计制度》(征求意见稿)中的会计计量属性问题进行分析,认为我国公立医院应该在会计核算中逐步扩大公允价值的使用范围。建议最初可以先确认相关资产的未实现损失,此后可以确认相关资产的未实现利得。

中国古代的药市与当代的药交会

 目的:论述中国古代药市的形成及与当代药材交易会(药交会)的关系和它们的重要功能、作用。方法:考查了古代一般庙会与药王庙会对药市形成、发展的影响，当代药交会与古代药市的联来与区别。结果与结论:指出了不少的药市、尤其几大全国性药市，都由庙会转化而来;药业在药市建药王庙后，由行业组织承办药王庙会，使祭庆活动和药材交易更加专业化、制度化、规模化;当代药交会是古代药市的继承与发展;古今药市药交会是药业的一种重要市场形式，发挥了沟通中药产供销的桥梁作用。     

欧美单边气候立法及其对国际法的影响

当前,应对气候变化的多边国际法正面临生死存亡的巨大挑战,而以欧美为代表的发达缔约方确已在国内或区域内建成了体系完备的单边气候立法.欧美单边气候立法的确立和实施的过程中普遍以碳泄漏和公平竞争力为借口对抗既有国际法已经确立的“共同但有区别责任原则”下的国际机制.应对气候变化的国际机制的零和博弈有着深层次的法律经济学原因,虽然现行应对气候变化的国际法为欧美单边气候立法提供了框架性授权,然而,欧美单边气候立法却实际损害了多边机制发挥国际协调一致行动的能力,并引发了国际争端.

Culture and Sun Exposure in Immigrant East Asian Women Living in Australia

In this qualitative study, researchers examined cultural and attitudinal factors that might be related to sun-exposure behaviors among East Asian women living in Australia. Researchers asked Chinese (n = 20) and Korean (n = 16) immigrant women who participated in a larger cross-sectional quantitative study of vitamin D blood levels to volunteer to participate in an in-depth interview in 2010. These women reported a number of cultural factors related to their attitudes and behaviors with regard to sun exposure. They expressed preference for fair skin, a tradition of covering skin when outdoors, and no sunbathing culture. They believed that fair skin was more beautiful than tanned skin. They reported that beauty was the reason for active avoidance of sunlight exposure. Although they reported knowledge of the need for sun avoidance due to skin cancer risk, few reported knowledge about the benefits of sun exposure for adequate vitamin D levels. These findings may provide some reasons for vitamin D deficiency previously reported in these populations. Thus, researchers recommend that these attitudes of excessive sun protection and limiting sun exposure be further investigated as they may have implications for planning and delivery of health promotion programs to this growing population of immigrants in Australia.
