Abstract Despite prolonged surveillance and interventions, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) influenza viruses continue to pose a global health burden. Thus, we developed chimpanzee adenovirus-based combination vaccine, AdC68-HATRBD, with dual specificity against SARS-CoV-2 virus. When used as standalone intranasal immunization AdC68-HATRBD induced comprehensive potent immune responses consisting of immunoglobin (Ig) G, mucosal IgA, neutralizing antibodies, memory T cells, which protected mice from BA.5.2 pandemic H1N1 infections. heterologous booster, markedly improved protective response licensed or vaccine. Therefore, whether administered intranasally booster this vaccine is valuable strategy enhance overall efficacy by inducing robust systemic responses, thereby conferring lines immunological defenses for these two viruses.

Introduction This study investigated the role of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing creative cognition design students, examining mediating effects self-efficacy and anxiety reduction. Methods A quantitative approach was employed, collecting data through online surveys from 121 students at universities southern China. The utilized scales for AI knowledge perception, self-efficacy, anxiety, cognition, adapted previous studies evaluated on 5-point Likert scales. Data analysis conducted using SPSS 24.0 exploratory factor PROCESS v3.5 mediation analysis. Results findings confirmed that positively impacted students’ innovative thinking (* β * = 0.610, p < 0.001). Self-efficacy (standardized 0.256, 95% CI [0.140, 0.418], 0.001) reduction 0.093, [0.018, 0.195], 0.05) mediated relationship between cognition. Additionally, a serial effect observed 0.053, [0.012, 0.114], 0.05). Discussion Our empirical demonstrates affects thinking, with serving as significant mediators. These provide valuable insights educators policymakers, suggesting AI-integrated curricula can significantly foster promote academic achievement, enhance designer capabilities. Understanding AI’s impact processes is crucial developing effective teaching strategies today’s evolving educational landscape.

Fear of side effects is the main motive for vaccine refusal. However, before COVID-19 pandemic, little attention had been paid to actual experience adverse events and its relationship with hesitancy. This scoping review aimed analyze impact VH on EAE vice versa. We reviewed 55 articles. Most studies focused vaccination employed cross-sectional surveys self-reported indicators. These identified significant correlations between VH. Social cognitive models shed some light influence VH, while converse usually explained by nocebo effect that predominately accounts converse. emerging research field hampered inconsistencies in theoretical explanations, assessments relationship, measurements these two phenomena. A more comprehensive consideration individual experience, both objective subjective, would help develop effective communication strategies improve pharmacological surveillance.

Objective To explore factors associated intention be vaccinated booster dose in Peru. Material Methods Cross-sectional study, using virtual physical surveys adults or doses vaccine, where dependent variable was (IBV) dose. We calculated prevalence ratios 95% confidence intervals, generalized linear models Poisson family robust varying, determining associations between sociodemographic, clinical, perception variables. Results Data from 924 were analyzed. IBV 88.1%. A higher being male (aPR = 1.05; CI [1.01–1.10]), having a good efficacy protective effect (PR 3.69; [2.57–5.30]) belonging health sector 1.10; [1.04–1.16]).

Taking booster vaccines plays a critical role to enhance the effectiveness of vaccine programs and their positive externalities community health. This study treats as value expands theory planned behaviour examine determinants behaviours take that among public. Mixed research methods are used in this study. While qualitative data from in-depth interviews support identification new themes serving development hypotheses measurement scales, quantitative 771 respondents all walks life employed provide generalized findings. The estimation results indicate five factors drive intention shots, including perceived behavioural control, subjective norms, switching costs, communication quality health concern. More interestingly, another follow-up survey about actual imply given existing intention, those who demonstrate good objective knowledge more likely shot practice. These findings draw important implications for policymakers encourage taking vaccines.
