The study was entered into the German Clinical Trials Register (Deutsches Register Klinischer Studien) prospectively, on November 2, 2022, under registration number DRKS00030629. The study's record is available within the World Health Organization's International Clinical Trials Registry Platform Search Portal, indexed by its corresponding number in the German Clinical Trials Register. The utilization of multiple quantum dots (QDs) in white light emitting diodes (WLEDs) confronts a critical challenge due to their low luminous efficiency and the issue of quenching. Using a microwave hydrothermal process, we produced the AgInS2 QDs/zeolitic imidazolate framework-70 (AIS/ZIF-70) composite, as detailed in this paper. Thanks to its high porosity and stability, ZIF-70 successfully avoids the quenching issues associated with the accumulation of quantum dots. Because of the chemical linkage between ZIF-70 and QDs, the ZnS layer's formation effectively mitigated surface defects, resulting in a quantum yield of 2149% in an aqueous solution. At a molar ratio of AgIn/Zn equal to 18, representing a 526% molar fraction of ZIF-70, the assembled AIS/ZIF-based WLED's luminous efficiency (LE) was significantly reinforced, increasing by a factor of 68. The AIS/ZIF-based WLED's color rendering index (CRI) and correlated color temperature (CCT) measurements of 843 and 3631K, respectively, point to its potential application in solid-state lighting. Investigating the exercise experiences of HIV-positive women, focusing on i) the frequency and type of exercise, ii) the key aspects of their exercise journeys, iii) the factors that support or hinder their participation, and iv) strategies for maintaining and continuing their exercise routines. A descriptive qualitative study was conducted via online, semi-structured interviews. Toronto, Canada, provided access to women living with HIV through recruitment efforts at a specialty hospital, a community-based organization, and a medical clinic. Of the ten HIV-positive women, the extent of their exercise routines is uncertain. Utilizing a semi-structured interview guide, we elicited narratives from participants concerning their experiences with exercise, encompassing the contributing elements, hindrances, and approaches to enhancing uptake. We electronically collected data from participants using a demographic questionnaire to understand their personal details, HIV status, and physical activity. The interview data underwent descriptive thematic analysis, alongside a descriptive analysis (medians, frequencies, and percentages) of the questionnaires' responses. Six interwoven components contributed to women's exercise experiences: (1) cultural contexts, (2) gendered realities, (3) social stigma related to HIV, (4) HIV's intermittent presence, (5) the pursuit of community, and (6) their perspectives on exercise. Exercise was encouraged by aspirations of a healthy lifestyle, the use of exercise for mental distraction, the company of a workout partner, and financial aid from local community groups to facilitate participation. Exercise was frequently impeded by a combination of factors, including a lack of community-based resources (mental health support and fitness facilities), financial constraints, restrictions on gym hours and access, and the effects of cold winter weather. Increasing exercise participation was achieved through strategies involving creating social connections, offering online exercise classes, educating people about the significance of exercise, and providing substantial practical support. Personal and environmental factors mutually shaped the exercise experiences of HIV-positive women. Results have the potential to shape the personalized design of exercise rehabilitation programs for women living with HIV, promoting exercise engagement and improving overall health. Women living with HIV encountered exercise challenges shaped by a fusi
