The concept of social responsibility is being applied in universities. Because universities have goals that differ significantly from corporations, the notion of university social responsibility (USR) has emerged in the academic field. The Ministry of Education in Taiwan has regularly implemented USR practice plans since 2018 (Executive Yuan, Taiwan, ROC, 2019). The core values of these plans are \"local coalition\" and \"talent cultivation\". Moreover, these plans encourage universities to use the power of professional knowledge and creation to minimize the gap between learning and application for students and to integrate local resources and hands-on strategies to better collaborate with universities around the world and expand participation in international academic activities. Sustainable development (SD) is a core objective of both CSR and USR. The United Nations has advocated for sustainable development since 1987 and formalized the five-component paradigm (people, partnership, peace, planet, and prosperity, 5Ps) in 2015. UN Agenda 2030 addresses 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs), 169 targets, and 3,155 actions, encouraging all national governments to establish national SD action plans (United Nations, 2015). Based on the review of the literature and conceptual frameworks related to USR and SD (Bokhari, 2017), we integrate practice experiences and propose three suggestions for universities: 1) diversities universities could create a campus-wide climate of and comprehensive practice for social responsibility using their professional knowledge; 2) the social, economy, and environment are included in universities SD. The curriculum development of universities links to social practice activities to achieve the goals of talent cultivation to meet social needs; 3) The university projects include specific actions and timeline. The impacts and achievements of USR and SD may be appraised by internal and external experts. Fooyin University is a school of science and technology related to \"Big Health\". Based on the above theoretical frameworks, the outcome evaluation model of the Center for USR, the Ministry of Education, and the UN's SDGs, we implemented the \"Time Wheel Sustainable Model of Social Responsibility at Fooyin University\" (Figure 1) and began cooperating with private and government organizations. The model is an intervention and evaluation guideline for the time-dynamic wheel, with the target goal of cultivating health promotion and sustainable development talent. The outcomes and impacts of the model comprise four domains and sixteen indicators. Stakeholders of this model are students/alumni, teaching faculties and administration staff, communities, and the public. USR curriculum designs involve the School of Nursing, School of Medical and Health Sciences, School of Environment and Life Sciences, and College of Humanities and Management.

Our recent research showed that the accuracy of recognition related to tube feeding was 74.8%, and the completeness of tube feeding was 74.3%. After analyzing this situation, the reasons found to be significantly associated with the low rates of tube-feeding recognition accuracy and completion included: inconsistent treatment of gastric residual by nurses in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), lack of sufficient assessment tools in the NICU, out-of-date specialist care guidelines, and lack of a regular inspection system.\u0000\u0000\u0000PURPOSE\u0000Our aim was to improve tube-feeding-related recognition accuracy and completion to reduce the incidence of feeding intolerance.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESOLUTIONS\u0000The intervention included developing a guideline manual for feeding procedures and making a gastric residual color card as a clinical-care reference. Holding on-the-job training and monitoring the quality of nursing care can reduce the incidence of feeding intolerance in preterm.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000The accuracy of tube-feeding recognition increased from 74.8% to 93.7%.

The objective of this initiative is to develop an innovative model of social support and a new model for younger generations to work with older adults living in the community. The results of this survey project show better well-being in older adults to be associated with the following sets of traits: exercising regularly and lacking dental problems; engaging in daily laughter and holding positive aging perceptions; and having a higher subjective social status, more family support, and a sense of community attachment.

As a new tumor marker, the correlation between lncRNA and genomic instability is still worth exploring in bladder cancer. Methods: Therefore, combined with the lncRNA expression profile and somatic mutation profile of bladder cancer, we established a computing framework of lncRNA related to genomic instability and identified 58 new lncRNA related to genomic instability. Next, we identified a lncRNA signature (GILncSig), based on these 58 new genes, which divided patients into high-risk and low-risk groups. The clinical prognosis was significantly different and was further verified in an independent cohort of patients. Results: We confirmed that GILncSig is related to the genomic mutation rate of bladder cancer, suggesting that GILncSig can be used as an indicator of genomic instability. The results show that GILncSig has prognostic value independent of age, sex, grade, and stage, and plays an important role in evaluating clinical prognosis. To sum up, this study provides an important research basis and methods for further exploring the role of lncRNA in genomic instability of bladder cancer, and provides a theoretical basis for the identification of bladder cancer biomarkers related to genomic instability.","PeriodicalId":35672,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nursing","volume":"11 1","pages":"19-28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80416143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
