A Systematic Review of the Literature on Veterans' Unanticipated Medical Retirement and Transition to Civilian Life | Chapter 5 | Selected Topics in Humanities and Social Sciences Vol. 6

Despite the fact that there is literature on the impact of unexpected medical retirement on veterans' transition to civilian life, there has been no systematic review of this literature by veterans. This systematic evaluation of literature looked into the impact of veterans' UMR on their transition to civilian life. Based on the application of a search strategy devised on the basis of six criteria for inclusion in accordance with the research phenomena, the researcher chose 15 papers for the systematic review. A summary of the included research revealed three key topics on the influence of veterans' UMR on transfer to civilian life: transition concerns (with two sub-themes of female veterans and identity), work experience, and sources of support. The findings of the review, which are based on a synthesis of contemporary literature, contribute to the body of knowledge on veterans' recovery. There were other practice-related repercussions, such as the need to confront veteran prejudice during employment searches after UMR and female veterans' isolation as a result of sexual trauma. Future researchers should narrow the scope of systematic reviews of veterans' post-UMR transition experiences to allow for meta-analysis, and undertake a systematic review focused entirely on female veterans' post-UMR transition experiences to emphasise their unique requirements even more.

Greening Regional Airports: A Vision for Carbon Neutral Infrastructure | Chapter 12 | Contemporary Perspective on Science, Technology and Research Vol. 3

 This study provides an overview of the energy demand of a regional airport, divided into individual time horizons. The electrification of aircraft systems raises the question of whether airports will be among the largest electricity consumers in our infrastructure in the future. Sustainability and especially emission reductions are significant challenges for airports that are currently being addressed. The Clean Sky 2 project GENESIS addresses the environmental sustainability of hybrid-electric 50-passenger aircraft systems in a life cycle perspective to support the development of a technology roadmap for the transition to sustainable and competitive electric aircraft systems. This article originates from the GENESIS research and describes various options for ground power supply at a regional airport. Potential solutions for airport infrastructure with a short (2030), medium (2040), and long (2050) time horizon are proposed. In addition to the environmental and conservation benefi...

Risk Factors for Postpartum Psychiatric Disorders. A Review of the Literature | Chapter 8 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the risk factors for the development of postpartum psychiatric disorders through international literature. Materials and Methods: Throughout many articles in PubMed, Google scholar and PsycInfo, a great amount of recent data was gathered to identify the disorders that are most common as well as their risk factors. Results: After childbirth, most commonly women experience postpartum depression, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder and postpartum psychosis. All the disorders have many similar risk-factors with the main one being preexisting psychiatric disorder and many similar symptoms too. Conclusions: Women after childbirth are at risk of experience many psychiatric disorders, such as postpartum distress, postpartum post traumatic stress disorder and even more rarely postpartum psychosis. It is important to provide comprehensive support to ensure the well-being of both the mother and the infant and this will b...

Alkali Element Modification of Glucose Molecules as a Method to Dissolve Cancer Cells | Chapter 12 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  The present study highlights about alkali element modification of glucose molecules as a method to dissolve cancer cells. The central regulation of the mechanisms governing cell proliferation has little effect on cancer cells. Cancer cells are entirely independent of the central command and divide and proliferate on their own, making it challenging to activate their response mechanism. Precisely, this is the reason why they are at risk to the health of humans and/or any biological entities. Instead of trying to reconnect the central command of the growth control mechanism to cancer cells that are already out of the range, we present a method of using the cancer cell’s own irresponsive and uncontrolled growth mechanism to their disadvantage and destroy the cancer cells. We found that this is achievable in an atomic/molecular level study of the glucose molecule, which is the primary food source used for growth and energy generation by all cells in the body, including the cancer cel...
