UNSTRUCTURED Background: Severe Mental Disorders (SMD) have become a topic of increasing interest in research due to their serious consequences for the quality of life and functioning. In the pages that follow, it will be argued that the self-care ability and its influencing factors among SMD patients in Beijing, according to the questionnaire survey in 2019. Methods: The present study aimed to explore the factors influencing the self-care ability of SMD patients. Multi-stage sampling and proportioning sampling were used to take samples. The demographic characteristics of patients were obtained by questionnaires, and the self-care ability was measured by self-made scales. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors. Results: We surveyed 662 people and found that the deficiency of self-care ability is common in SMD patients. Significant relations were found between self-care ability and age, educated levels, guardian care, course of disease and physical disease (P<0.05). From a dimensional perspective, the daily basic activity was associated with educated levels and physical disease (P<0.05); the housework ability was associated with gender, educated levels, source of income, physical disease and medication adherence (P＜0.05); the social function was associated with age, educated levels, source of income, guardian care course of disease, physical disease and medication adherence (P＜0.05). Conclusion: The self-care ability of SMD patients is affected by many factors, including patient characteristics and social factors. Therefore, targeted interventions are needed to help patients restore their self-care ability, which requires the joint efforts of the government and the whole society.

Self-definition of ancient Greeks was created under the influence of socio-historical events, reflecting both, the relationship between Hellenes themselves and attitudes towards others. Greek wonder as a selfgenerated process yielded to a growing awareness that the drive towards advancement, observed in certain regions of Greece, was probably not possible without the external impetus of an extensively integrated Mediterranean world (Rollinger 2006, 197-226). The influencing factors for self-definition of ancient Greeks were a shared myth of descent, a shared territory, and a shared sense of history. Many scholars assume, that a sense of Greekness among Dorians, Ionians, Aiolians and others was finally crystallized throughout the number of military conflicts in which they were involved during the Classical period. Its seems probable that Athens played a major role both in the invention of the barbarian concept and in the substitution of cultural for ethnic criteria in the self-definition of Greeks. In their self-definition, Greeks seem to be deliberately stylized as antinomy to what they considered  to be typical for others. Similarly, as a response to the strong pressure from the Persians, the national awareness of the Anatolians was formed. Interestingly, in some cases local ethnic groups had chosen cultural elements that had been associated with Greeks or Persians for their self-definition.

Abstract Purpose To investigate the status quo and relationship between self-management efficacy and quality of life (QOL) of patients with breast cancer undergoing endocrine therapy, and to explore the influencing factors of QOL. Methods The convenience sampling method was used to select 240 patients who received endocrine therapy after breast cancer surgery in the First Hospital of China Medical University, the self-designed general data questionnaire, self-management efficacy questionnaire for breast cancer patients with endocrine therapy and quality of life scale for breast cancer patients were used to investigate. The frequency, percentage, mean ± standard deviation were used to describe patients' self-management efficacy and quality of life. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between self-management efficacy and quality of life, and univariate analysis and multiple stepwise regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of QOL. Results The scores of self-management efficacy and QOL of patients with breast cancer endocrine therapy were 125.21 ± 25.57 and 153.33 ± 19.31 respectively, which were at the middle level; self-management efficacy was significantly positively correlated with quality of life ( p < 0.01 ) ; multiple stepwise regression results showed that self-management efficacy, the number of physical symptoms, monthly family income and recurrence and metastasis were the influencing factors of QOL. Conclusion The self-management efficacy of endocrine therapy was positively correlated with QOL in breast cancer patients. The higher the self-management efficacy of endocrine therapy, the better QOL in breast cancer patients. Self-management efficacy is the main factor affecting the quality of life of breast cancer patients undergoing endocrine therapy. Improving the level of self-management efficacy can improve their quality of life.

Based on the maintenance requirement of seaport wharf, the glass tubes filled with TY-6638 polyester adhesive or cyanogen gel adhesive were embedded in the self-repairing concrete to make the simply supported beams. Through the third-point bending experiment, the repairing capability and its influencing factors of two kinds of adhesive beams were analyzed from loading capacity and flexibility. The results show the loading capacity of cyanogen gel adhesive beams and polyester adhesive beams can be restored averagely to more than 90.0% after repair,so self-repairing concrete for maintenance of seaport wharf is technically feasible, it deserves to be studied farther.

We examined the influencing factors of the undermet care needs of the Chinese disabled oldest old people when their children are both caregivers and are themselves older people. Data were obtained from a cross-sectional survey: the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) in 2018. The study participants included 1617 disabled oldest old people whose primary caregiver were their children or children-in-law and were aged 60 years and over. The results showed that the prevalence of undermet needs remained high, with 49.6% disabled oldest old people reporting undermet care needs. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that living in a rural area (OR = 1.309, 95% CI = 1.133–1.513) and a higher frailty index (OR = 1.103, 95% CI = 1.075–1.131) were significantly positively associated with higher odds for undermet care needs, while a higher annual household income (OR = 0.856, 95% CI = 0.795–0.923), more financial support from children (OR = 0.969, 95% CI = 0.941–0.997), higher care expenditures (OR = 1.044, 95% CI = 1.002–1.088), better caregiver’s performance (OR = 0.282, 95% CI = 0.196–0.407) and sufficient income to pay for daily expenses (OR = 0.710, 95% CI = 0.519–0.973) were significantly inversely associated with higher odds for undermet care needs. This evidence suggests the importance of policies to establish a community-based socialized long-term care system and supporting family caregivers of the disabled oldest old people.
