[Research progress on global health competency and its models].

At present, the research on Global Health Competencies is mainly conducted in the field of the establishment of competency models and application of indicators. This review summarizes the research progress of the Global Health Competency and its models, and focuses on cutting-edge research from the aspects of target audience, purpose, content, classical model, methods and future development. The competency model is suggested to be adjusted and updated according to the practices of different countries and regions. The research and funding of the competency model in the field of public health is suggested to be strengthened, and the global health and diplomacy are suggested to be combined to enrich and improve the competency model. Finally, this review aims to promote Global Health Competencies research in China, especially to improve the global health talent training system and relevant policies in further research.

Effect of Sc contents on the mechanical properties and damping capacity of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr-Sc alloys with different grain structures.

Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr-Sc alloys with different Sc contents were fabricated by casting, deformation, and T6 treatment. Deformation methods including rolling and friction-stir processing (FSP) were used to design their grain structure. A low additive amount (0.1) of Sc cannot refine the grains of the alloy with rolling and T6 treatment, and it instead coarsened the grains. The reason was the non-uniform distribution of nanosize Al3(Sc,Zr) phases that led to the occurrence of abnormal grain growth during homogenization. Meanwhile, the alloy with only 0.1Sc exhibited finer grains after FSP and T6 treatment than the alloys subjected to the same process but with higher Sc additive amount. Alloys with rolling-induced elongated grain structure exhibited better mechanical properties, and alloys with FSP-induced fine equiaxed grain structure exhibited higher high-strain and high-temperature internal friction values. These features are important performance parameters for applications in fields where vibration and noise are sensitive. The optimum additive amounts of Sc for alloys with elongated and fine equiaxed grain structures were 0.25 and 0.1, respectively.
