COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy has become a major concern around the world. Recent reports have also highlighted in healthcare workers. Despite media and scientific publications, little is known about extent predictors of refusal among nurses. Thus, purpose this study was to assess vaccine rates nurses globally explore reasons for factors associated with uptake vaccines. A scoping review published literature conducted, final pool 51 studies (n = 41,098 nurses) from 36 countries included review. The overall pooled prevalence rate worldwide 20.7% (95% CI 16.5-27%). were higher March 2020-December 2020 compared January 2021-May 2021. concerns safety, side effects, efficacy; misinformation lack knowledge; mistrust experts, authorities, or pharmaceutical companies. acceptance vaccines were: male sex, older age, flu history.

As for other vaccines, vaccination hesitancy may be a determining factor in the success (or otherwise) of COVID-19 immunization campaign healthcare workers (HCWs).To estimate proportion HCWs Italy who expressed vaccine hesitancy, we conducted systematic review relevant literature and meta-analysis. Determinants compliance options suggested by these studies to address among were also analyzed. Seventeen included meta-analysis review, selected from scientific articles available MEDLINE/PubMed, Google Scholar Scopus databases between 1 January 2020 25 2022. The rate was 13.1% (95%CI: 6.9-20.9%). investigated before during 18.2% (95%CI = 12.8-24.2%) 8.9% 3.4-16.6%), respectively.

Applying Multivariate Analysis and Machine Learning Approaches to Evaluating Groundwater Quality on the Kairouan Plain, Tunisia

Water, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 15(19), С. 3495 - 3495

Опубликована: Окт. 6, 2023

In the Zeroud basin, a diverse array of methodologies were employed to assess, simulate, and predict quality groundwater intended for irrigation. These included irrigation water indices (IWQIs); intricate statistical analysis involving multiple variables, supported with GIS techniques; an artificial neural network (ANN) model; XGBoost regression model. Extensive physicochemical examinations performed on samples elucidate their compositional attributes. The results showed that abundance order ions was Na+ > Ca2+ Mg2+ K+ SO42− HCO3− Cl−. facies reflected Ca-Mg-SO4, Na-Cl, mixed Ca-Mg-Cl/SO4 types. A cluster (CA) principal component (PCA), along ionic ratios, detected three different characteristics. mechanisms controlling chemistry revealed water–rock interaction, dolomite dissolution, evaporation, ion exchange. assessment agriculture respect IWQIs, such as index (IWQI), sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), percentage (Na%), soluble (SSP), potential salinity (PS), residual carbonate (RSC), domination valuable agriculture. However, IWQI PS fell between high-to-severe restrictions injurious-to-unsatisfactory. ANN models robust predicting IWQIs. For example, ANN-HyC-9 emerged most precise forecasting framework according its outcomes, it showcased link prime attributes IWQI. nine this model hold immense significance in prediction. R2 values training testing data stood at 0.999 (RMSE = 0.375) 0.823 3.168), respectively. findings indicate XGB-HyC-3 accurate model, displaying stronger connection exceptional When IWQI, approximately model’s played pivotal role. Notably, yielded 0.001) 0.913 2.217) datasets, Overall, these offer significant details decision-makers managing can support long-term use resources.
