Background and aim: Colonoscopy with histopathological analysis of mucosal biopsy samples remains the gold standard procedure for diagnosing lower gastrointestinal disorders. This study aimed to determine the pattern of histopathological findings of mucosal biopsies obtained at colonoscopy over a 7-year period and to correlate the histological findings with the clinical profile of the patients.

Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted in a healthcare facility in southwestern Nigeria. The Histology reports from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2022, were retrieved from the histopathology department of the institution to obtain the following information for analysis: age, gender, year of the test, presenting complaint, provisional clinical diagnosis, colonoscopy diagnosis, and histological diagnosis.

Results: The data of a total number of 81 patients were analyzed; 51 males (63.0%) and 30 females (37.0%) with a male-to-female ratio of 1.7-1. The age range of the patients was 30-86 years with a mean (±standard deviations) age of 59.87 ± 14.44. The most common indication for colonoscopy was hematochezia (23 (28.4%)) followed by change in bowel habit (16 [19.8%]), constipation (11 [13.6%]), and tenesmus (10 [12.3%]). Large bowel masses suggestive of cancers were the most common colonoscopy finding in the study subjects (36 [44.4%]). Colorectal cancer was the most common histologic abnormality in the study subjects (26 [32.1%]) followed by chronic nonspecific colitis (8 [9.9%]), polyps (7 [8.6%]), adenomas (5 [6.2%]) and acute on chronic colitis (5 [6.2%]). Twenty-two (27.2%) patients had normal histologic findings. Patients aged between 45 and 64 years had the highest prevalence of colorectal cancer (13 [50.0%]).

Conclusion: Colorectal cancer was the most common histopathological finding in this study and the patients were mostly within the middle-age group. Early screening colonoscopy is therefore recommended and histopathological analysis of the mucosal specimens obtained is essential for early detection of premalignant lesions.

背景和目的：结肠镜检查和粘膜活检样本的组织病理学分析仍然是诊断下消化道疾病的金标准程序。本研究旨在确定 7 年间结肠镜检查获得的粘膜活检组织病理学结果的模式，并将组织病理学结果与患者的临床特征相关联：这是一项在尼日利亚西南部一家医疗机构进行的回顾性研究。从该机构的组织病理学部门调取了2016年1月1日至2022年12月31日期间的组织学报告，以获取以下信息进行分析：年龄、性别、检查年份、主诉、临时临床诊断、结肠镜检查诊断和组织学诊断：共分析了 81 名患者的数据，其中男性 51 名（占 63.0%），女性 30 名（占 37.0%），男女比例为 1.7-1；患者的年龄范围为 30-86 岁，平均年龄（±标准差）为 59.87±14.44 岁。最常见的结肠镜检查指征是血便（23 例 [28.4%]），其次是排便习惯改变（16 例 [19.8%]）、便秘（11 例 [13.6%]）和拉稀（10 例 [12.3%]）。大肠肿块提示癌症是研究对象最常见的结肠镜检查结果（36 [44.4%]）。大肠癌是研究对象中最常见的组织学异常（26 [32.1%]），其次是慢性非特异性结肠炎（8 [9.9%]）、息肉（7 [8.6%]）、腺瘤（5 [6.2%]）和急性慢性结肠炎（5 [6.2%]）。22名患者（27.2%）的组织学检查结果正常。45 至 64 岁的患者患结直肠癌的比例最高（13 [50.0%]）：结论：结肠直肠癌是本研究中最常见的组织病理学发现，患者大多为中年人。因此，建议及早进行结肠镜筛查，并对获得的粘膜标本进行组织病理学分析，这对及早发现癌前病变至关重要。

Slow fashion has emerged as a response to the environmental and ethical problems of fast fashion. Despite this trend, actual purchase behavior appears to lag behind. By employing the environmental sustainability consciousness framework and the knowledge‐attitude‐behavior model, this study specifically explores the impact of environmental sustainability consciousness, including knowingness and attitude, on Generation Z and Millennial's slow fashion practices. A total of 1966 responses were analyzed using the partial least square structural equation modeling. The measurement scales were validated through confirmatory factor analysis. The hypothesized relationships were confirmed. The study sheds light on the critical link between environmental consciousness and sustainable consumption practices in fashion, which is of paramount importance given the growing environmental and ethical concerns associated with fast fashion. Furthermore, the current study aims to bridge the gap between knowing/attitude and actual purchase behavior in the context of the emerging slow fashion trend.

慢时尚的出现是对快时尚的环境和道德问题的一种回应。尽管有这一趋势，但实际购买行为似乎滞后。通过采用环境可持续发展意识框架和知识-态度-行为模型，本研究专门探讨了环境可持续发展意识（包括知识和态度）对 Z 世代和千禧一代慢时尚实践的影响。研究采用偏最小二乘法结构方程模型分析了 1966 个回答。测量量表通过确认性因子分析进行了验证。假设的关系得到了证实。本研究揭示了环保意识与时尚界可持续消费实践之间的重要联系，这一点至关重要，因为与快速时尚相关的环境和道德问题日益严重。此外，在新兴的慢时尚潮流中，本研究还旨在缩小认知/态度与实际购买行为之间的差距。

Drawing on the attention‐based view and leadership theory, this study proposes a theoretical framework for the relationship between CEOs' attention load and firms' sustainability orientation, with supply chain leadership and CEOs' social capital playing mediating and moderating roles, respectively. We tested the theoretical framework by analysing panel data on 236 CEOs from 102 listed companies in the agricultural and food industries in China from 2012 to 2019. We find that (a) CEOs' attention load negatively affects firms' sustainable orientation; (b) this relationship is partially mediated by firms' supply chain leadership; and (c) CEOs' social capital positively moderates this mediating effect. Lower CEO attention loads are associated with increased supply chain leadership and higher sustainability orientation for the firm. Additionally, CEOs' social capital positively moderates the relationship between attention load and sustainability orientation. This study integrates the attention‐based view and leadership theory into sustainable development research, investigating the translation mechanism of CEO attention to a firm's managerial orientation towards sustainability. It contributes to leadership theory by extending sustainable and ethical leadership from an intra‐ to inter‐organisational context.

本研究借鉴注意力观点和领导力理论，提出了CEO注意力负荷与企业可持续发展导向之间关系的理论框架，其中供应链领导力和CEO的社会资本分别起到中介和调节作用。我们通过分析 2012 年至 2019 年中国农业和食品行业 102 家上市公司 236 位 CEO 的面板数据，对该理论框架进行了检验。我们发现：(a) CEO 的注意力负荷对企业的可持续发展导向有负面影响；(b) 企业的供应链领导力对这一关系起到部分中介作用；(c) CEO 的社会资本对这一中介效应起到积极的调节作用。首席执行官的注意力负荷越低，企业的供应链领导力就越强，可持续发展导向就越高。此外，首席执行官的社会资本会积极调节注意力负荷与可持续发展导向之间的关系。本研究将基于注意力的观点和领导力理论整合到可持续发展研究中，调查了首席执行官的注意力与企业可持续发展管理导向的转化机制。本研究将可持续和道德领导力从组织内部扩展到组织间，为领导力理论做出了贡献。

Corporate sustainability is a complex concept, creating ambiguity regarding what it means and entails in a given context. Especially in sectors such as the pharmaceutical industry, where there is little direct interaction between the company and its stakeholders, infomediaries such as the mass media play a pivotal role in framing corporate sustainability and providing social evaluations to the general public. This paper reports on a longitudinal frame analysis of the newspaper reporting on corporate sustainability related to two British pharmaceutical companies, AstraZeneca and GlaxoSmithKline, in the period between 2000 and 2020. It explores and explains dominant sustainability frames related to pharmaceutical industry. The findings suggest that newspaper frames prioritize social and economic sustainability dimensions, related to companies' core business activities and relationships with stakeholders, and neglect the environmental dimension. The paper contributes to the existing literature by exploring contextual media framing, sustainability complexity and, empirically, sustainability in the pharmaceutical industry.

企业可持续发展是一个复杂的概念，在特定情况下，其含义和内涵并不明确。特别是在制药业等行业，公司与其利益相关者之间几乎没有直接的互动，因此大众传媒等信息媒介在构建企业可持续发展框架和向公众提供社会评价方面发挥着举足轻重的作用。本文对 2000 年至 2020 年期间报纸上有关两家英国制药公司（阿斯利康和葛兰素史克）的企业可持续发展报道进行了纵向框架分析。它探讨并解释了与制药业相关的主流可持续发展框架。研究结果表明，报纸框架优先考虑与公司核心业务活动以及与利益相关者关系相关的社会和经济可持续性维度，而忽视了环境维度。本文通过探讨媒体框架的背景、可持续发展的复杂性以及制药业的可持续发展实证，为现有文献做出了贡献。

The incidence and magnitude of hazards in Africa are escalating. Extant knowledge base of disaster risk (DR) trends, factors, and hotspots is lacking for the continent. Here we applied random forest machine learning regressions, spatial stratified heterogeneity, and hotspot analyses on INFORM data to identify DR patterns, factors and interactions, and notable risk hotspots. We show that although DR is generally decreasing in Africa, the Eastern, Southern, and Western regions record increasing DR. Physical exposure to floods, epidemics, and violent conflicts are hazard drivers of DR in Africa. Other significant DR drivers are mostly clustered under vulnerable groups and poor infrastructural coping capacities. Human hazards interact with other factors, exhibiting the highest influences on DR. Precisely, 19 out of 53 African countries in this study are DR hotspots. Eritrea is identified as a new hotspot. Targeted policies, resilience building, vulnerability reduction measures and comprehensive sustainability‐infused solutions are required for DR reduction and sustainable development in Africa.

非洲灾害的发生率和严重程度不断上升。非洲大陆缺乏关于灾害风险（DR）趋势、因素和热点的现有知识库。在此，我们对 INFORM 数据进行了随机森林机器学习回归、空间分层异质性和热点分析，以确定灾害风险模式、因素和相互作用，以及显著的风险热点。我们的研究表明，虽然非洲的灾害风险总体上在下降，但东部、南部和西部地区的灾害风险却在上升。洪水、流行病和暴力冲突是造成非洲灾害风险的危险因素。其他重要的灾害风险驱动因素主要集中在弱势群体和应对能力差的基础设施上。人为灾害与其他因素相互作用，对灾害风险的影响最大。确切地说，在本次研究的 53 个非洲国家中，有 19 个国家是灾难恢复的热点地区。厄立特里亚被确定为一个新的热点国家。为减少灾害风险，实现非洲的可持续发展，需要制定有针对性的政策，建设抗灾能力，采取减少脆弱性的措施，并制定全面的、充满可持续性的解决方案。

Equalizing preprimary education is vital for promoting social welfare and aligns with the UN's 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 4.2 which advocates equal and adequate access to quality preprimary education for all children. We developed an accessibility‐based analysis framework to assess the SDG 4.2 progress at local scale, providing improved policy recommendations for local governments by considering spatiality, equality, and adequacy across different spatial scales. The Huff–G2SFCA model was used at the grid scale to capture progress and spatial heterogeneity in preprimary education facilities and parental preferences. We used the Gini coefficient to measure the resource distribution equality at the subdistrict and district scales. The adequacy of resources across districts was evaluated using the supply–demand ratio. Our findings in Nanjing highlight challenges due to inadequate and unequal allocation of preprimary education resources, hindering SDG 4.2 advancement. Approximately 8% of children face difficulties accessing quality preprimary education, and a Gini coefficient of 0.52 indicating educational inequality. Despite positive progress in Nanjing's central urban area, suburban, and rural regions, especially the Gaochun and Lishui Districts, face significant challenges of preprimary education resource adequacy and equality in their pursuit of SDG 4.2.

学前教育公平化对促进社会福利至关重要，与联合国 2030 年议程可持续发展目标相一致，尤其是可持续发展目标 4.2，该目标倡导所有儿童平等、充分地接受优质学前教育。我们开发了一个基于可达性的分析框架，以评估可持续发展目标 4.2 在地方范围内的进展情况，通过考虑不同空间尺度的空间性、平等性和充分性，为地方政府提供更好的政策建议。在网格尺度上使用 Huff-G2SFCA 模型来捕捉学前教育设施和家长偏好方面的进展和空间异质性。我们使用基尼系数来衡量分区和地区尺度上的资源分配平等性。我们使用供需比来评估各区资源的充足性。我们在南京的研究结果凸显了学前教育资源分配不充分和不平等所带来的挑战，阻碍了可持续发展目标 4.2 的推进。约8%的儿童难以获得优质学前教育，基尼系数为0.52，表明教育不平等。尽管南京中心城区取得了积极进展，但郊区和农村地区，尤其是高淳区和溧水区，在实现可持续发展目标4.2的过程中，面临着学前教育资源充足性和平等性的重大挑战。

Education is viewed as a critical keystone in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Specifically, Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is meant to enable everyone to contribute to sustainable development (SDG 4.7). This target is monitored using the global indicator 4.7.1 – mainstreaming of ESD in policies, curricula, training of educators and student assessment. Here, we offer a conceptual and methodological framework for assessments of SDG 4.7.1 (input‐level) that addresses both quality and depth of implementation and speed of change. The approach combines document analysis with external expert evaluation and is applied to 10‐year data (>11,000 documents) from all formal areas of education in Germany (early childhood education, school education, vocational education and training, higher education). Currently, ESD is mostly implemented in Germany as an “add‐on” to the educational system, with all sub‐indicators ranging from “isolated mentioning” of ESD and related concepts to “partial integration”. Across most areas of education, the sub‐indicator training of educators was evaluated as most deficient. With regard to the speed of change, it was found that the implementation of ESD is dynamic, with all sub‐indicators having been evaluated as increasing. The proposed framework can increase the validity, reliability, and comparability of both country reporting and scientific assessments of SDG 4.7.1. We argue for independent and integrative monitoring across input, process, output and outcome to complement self‐reporting and to support evidence‐informed policymaking on sustainability in education.

教育被视为实现可持续发展目标（SDGs）的重要基石。具体而言，可持续发展教育（ESD）旨在使每个人都能为可持续发展做出贡献（SDG 4.7）。这一目标通过全球指标 4.7.1 进行监测--将可持续发展教育纳入政策、课程、教育工作者培训和学生评估的主流。在此，我们为可持续发展目标 4.7.1（投入层面）的评估提供了一个概念和方法框架，该框架既涉及实施的质量和深度，也涉及变革的速度。该方法将文件分析与外部专家评估相结合，并应用于德国所有正规教育领域（幼儿教育、学校教育、职业教育与培训、高等教育）的 10 年数据（超过 11,000 份文件）。目前，可持续发展教育在德国大多是作为教育系统的 "附加部分 "来实施的，所有子指标的范围从 "单独提及 "可持续发展教育和相关概念到 "部分融入 "不等。在大多数教育领域，教育者培训这⼀分指标被认为是最不充分的。关于变化的速度，研究发现，可持续发展教育的实施是动态的，所有次级指标都被评为在增加。建议的框架可以提高可持续发展目标 4.7.1 的国家报告和科学评估的有效性、可靠性和可比性。我们主张对投入、过程、产出和结果进行独立和综合监测，以补充自我报告，并支持以证据为依据的教育可持续发展决策。

University‐business collaborations (UBCs) are widely recognised as a key component within the sustainability effort, yet the literature on how we articulate the value which collaborations contribute towards a wider sustainable regional development agenda remains fragmented and disorganised, lacking synthesis and cumulativeness. Based on a recognised need to critically assess the state of the field, this paper presents a systematic review of a wide body of literature that seeks to evaluate the contribution of UBCs to sustainable regional development. Using a lens of place and knowledge, 131 articles are analysed and a framework is developed based on emerging categories of localism/universalism and pluralism/sovereignty. The framework provides a basis for both navigating approaches to evaluation, as well as enabling both researchers and practitioners to engage in more constructive discussions around the challenges and opportunities when evaluating UBCs in the wider context of place‐based government agendas for sustainable regional development.

大学与企业的合作（UBCs）被广泛认为是可持续发展努力中的一个关键组成部分，然而，关于我们如何阐述合作对更广泛的可持续区域发展议程所做贡献的文献仍然是零散和无序的，缺乏综合性和累积性。基于对这一领域现状进行批判性评估的公认需求，本文对大量文献进行了系统回顾，旨在评估城市社区对区域可持续发展的贡献。本文以地方和知识为视角，分析了 131 篇文章，并根据新出现的地方主义/普遍主义和多元主义/主权等类别制定了一个框架。该框架既为指导评估方法奠定了基础，也使研究人员和从业人员能够在以地方为基础的政府可持续地区发展议程的大背景下，围绕评估城市社区的挑战和机遇开展更具建设性的讨论。

The bibliometric study based on the Scopus database aims to investigate the global literary development of “decent work” over a span exceeding two decades. The noticeable surge in publications since 2015 underscores the growing significance of the concept. Limited representation of lower‐middle and lower‐income countries, except India, among the top 10 contributors is observed, revealing a considerable research gap in the study of decent work. The research highlights five principal themes: the labor market's impact on economic development, corporate social responsibility and sustainable development, gender equality, governance, and social justice, as well as decent work, job quality, education, well‐being, and job satisfaction. The study also shows the importance of the topic in different fields. Future researchers may consider the variables or indicators identified for surveys and questionnaire construction.

基于 Scopus 数据库的文献计量学研究旨在调查二十多年来 "体面工作 "的全球文学发展情况。自 2015 年以来，出版物数量明显激增，凸显了这一概念日益重要的意义。除印度外，中低收入国家在前十名作者中的代表性有限，这揭示了体面工作研究中存在着相当大的研究缺口。研究强调了五大主题：劳动力市场对经济发展的影响、企业社会责任和可持续发展、性别平等、治理和社会公正，以及体面工作、工作质量、教育、福祉和工作满意度。本研究还显示了该主题在不同领域的重要性。未来的研究人员可以考虑将确定的变量或指标用于调查和问卷编制。

This article evaluates the present global condition of solar and wind energy adoption and explores their benefits and limitations in meeting energy needs. It examines the historical and evolutionary growth of solar and wind energy, global trends in the usage of renewable energy, and upcoming technologies, including floating solar and vertical‐axis wind turbines. The importance of smart grid technology and energy storage alternatives for enhancing the effectiveness and dependability of renewable energy is explored. In addition, the role of Electric Vehicles (EVs) in a modern smart grid has been assessed. Furthermore, the economic benefits, and most recent technological developments of solar and wind energy and their environmental and social ramifications. The potential of solar and wind energy to meet the increasing global energy demand and the problems and opportunities facing the renewable energy industry have shown excellent promise. Machine learning applications for solar and wind energy generation are vital for sustainable energy production. Machine learning can help in design, optimization, cost reduction, and, most importantly, in improving the efficacy of solar and wind energy, including advancing energy storage. This assessment is a crucial resource for policymakers, industry leaders, and researchers who aim to make the world cleaner and more sustainable.
