Summary: This study investigates the evolutionary impact of temporal periodicity and spatial heterogeneity on population ecology. By analyzing the dynamics of a competition-diffusion system with different interspecific competition coefficients, the study provides conditions for the interplay between diffusion intensities, interspecific competition coefficients, and their effects on coexistence and competitive exclusion.

Summary: This study incorporates stoichiometry into a chemostat culture model and examines the dynamics and competition results of single and multiple algae species. The results show that increased phosphorus input or slower dilution rate promotes the persistence of algae species, while stoichiometry facilitates coexistence of competing algae species. The study concludes that under low phosphorus input or fast dilution rate, competitive exclusion still occurs, but high phosphorus input or slow dilution rate enables the coexistence of multiple species.

Summary: Many species are annual breeders who consume resources and may die between reproductive events. A model for such life cycles needs to represent both the discrete- and continuous-time processes in the community. The dynamics of multiple discrete breeders on a single resource reveal coexistence mechanisms and complex dynamics.

Summary: The aim of this study is to assess the barriers and facilitators of the current Romanian HPV vaccination campaign. The results showed that the inclusion of HPV vaccination in the National Vaccination Program is the most important factor in promoting vaccination. On the other hand, vaccine hesitancy often stems from the high cost of the vaccine and a lack of proper information.

Summary: Genetic heterogeneity plays a crucial role in the interaction of microorganisms, and the competitive exclusion principle is the main governing principle for disease competition. This paper studies the dynamics of a two-strain SIS epidemic model on complex networks and derives the reproduction numbers associated with each strain. It is proven that the competitive exclusion principle holds globally and the endemic equilibrium uniquely and globally coexists.

Summary: A new SIVS epidemic model for HPV was proposed and its global dynamics were analyzed. It was found that the critical value of pulse vaccination for susceptible females needed to control HPV, and numerical simulations agreed with theoretical findings in showing a good impact on reducing the disease.

Summary: This review identified factors affecting HPV vaccine initiation in men, including sociodemographic factors, belief-related variables, family factors, community factors, variables related to needs, and environmental factors. Strategies targeting young males and their families, such as frequent visits to or contact with health care providers, should be implemented to increase HPV vaccination rates in men.

Summary: The cost, insurance coverage, and reimbursement of the HPV vaccine were commonly reported barriers. Barriers to adolescent HPV vaccination were related to parental concerns, beliefs, and insufficient knowledge about the vaccine. Personal barriers perceived by pharmacists were related to lack of information and knowledge about the HPV vaccine. System/organization level barriers included lack of time/staff/space, difficulty in series completion, tracking and recall of patients, perceived competition with providers, and prioritization of other responsibilities/vaccines.

Summary: A 16-year-old girl developed fever and renal abnormalities after receiving the HPV vaccine, and was diagnosed with secondary membranous nephropathy. Although HPV proteins were not detected in the vaccine, it is possible that the vaccine triggered a pre-existing HPV infection in the patient.

Summary: The HPV vaccination program in Tanzania was well accepted by community stakeholders in 18 councils, with adequate knowledge demonstrated by health workers and school personnel. However, continued technical support for integrating the vaccine into routine immunization activities and reinforcing basic knowledge about the vaccine in specific community groups is needed.

Summary: This cohort study found no association between HPV vaccination and primary ovarian insufficiency. While the risk of primary ovarian insufficiency did not significantly increase after vaccination, the possibility of a clinically relevant increase in diagnosis rate cannot be ruled out due to the rarity of the outcome in this study.

Summary: This study compared the colposcopic evaluation of vaccinated and unvaccinated women entering the organized cervical screening program. The results showed that the number of women positive for human papillomavirus 16/18 was lower in the vaccinated group. There was no significant difference in the detection of high-grade lesions between the vaccinated and unvaccinated women. Colposcopic examination remained a useful tool for vaccinated women participating in the cervical screening program.

Summary: This study investigated the attitudes of patients with a history of cervical dysplasia towards HPV vaccination and the counseling patterns of healthcare providers. The results showed that a small proportion of patients received the HPV vaccine, with a higher vaccination rate among White patients. The study also found that only a small number of patients received counseling regarding vaccination during their visits.

Summary: This paper critically examines and advances the evaluation of fidelity in need-adapted mental health care, using Open Dialogue as a case study. It raises a discussion on how fidelity should be evaluated in flexible, complex interventions, and identifies key questions that need to be asked by practitioners working in need-adapted mental health care to ensure they deliver these interventions as intended and in an evidence-based fashion.

Summary: The study highlights that the high prevalence of trachoma in Burundi is mainly attributed to insufficient implementation of environmental improvement factors. The model developed indicates that adequate environmental improvements are crucial for eliminating trachoma.
