Studies on student engagement in adolescence: A scoping review

Research over recent decades has confirmed the critical role of student engagement in adolescent learning, achievement, and development. However, studies quantity and diffusion make further up-to-date systematization necessary. This study aims to contribute to this effort by focusing on multidimensional student engagement research, published in the last decade, focusing on adolescence. Following a previous protocol, a scoping review was conducted using eight scientific literature databases. From an initial set of 849 studies, 135 were selected. Results showed the increase of research in quantity and geographical breadth, the strive for consistency, the relevance of the threefold approach (behavioral, emotional, and cognitive), the value of student engagement for adolescents’ health and school adjustment, and the key role played by teacher-student relations, school environment, and individual strengths. In addition, suggestions highlighted methodological improvements, the study of new variables, and, regarding promotion, the balance between wide school approaches and attention to students’ specific needs.
Exploring Chinese Post-00s College Students Motivation to Learn a Second Foreign Language through Drnyeis L2 Motivational Self System

In the new era, there has been a steep rise in the number of people attempting to become bilingual or even multilingual, especially among the post-00s generation, which refers to individuals born after the Year 2000. In many cases, their multilingual language competence lets them stand out from their peers. Moreover, motivation is inalienable in language learning. Therefore, the present study explores the motivation of post-00s students with the formula of Drnyeis L2 Motivational Self System (L2MSS). The paper found that 322 post-00s college students have strong motivation to learn a second foreign language, especially the data driven by ideal self and learning experience. In addition, it was discovered that individuals have higher intended effort in L3 than in L2 (English). Nevertheless, the results do not demonstrate the interference between L2MSS and L3MSS constituents. Furthermore, it distinctly revealed only L3 ought-to self significantly correlates with ought-to ultimate language output based on the self-rated form. Hence, the paper sheds light on the relationship between L3MSS and L3 language proficiency might not be linear; some intervening variables might need further studies and investigation. In the final, some educational suggestions are provided according to current findings.
Near Infrared and bolometric properties of Type Ia supernovae

Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) are excellent tools for modern cosmology. Their calibrated peak luminosities have been used to discover the accelerated expansion of the universe. SN Ia are also interesting astrophysical sources as endpoints of stellar evolution. In this thesis, I analyse the near infrared and bolometric properties of SN Ia and use the properties of their light curves to derive estimates for global parameters, like the total Ni mass, and improve upon their use as distance indicators in cosmology.
A safety net against populism? An investigation of the interaction effect of political efficacy and democratic capacities on populist attitudes

ABSTRACT The paper interprets populism as a symptom of a mismatch between how the democratic polity operates and how citizens conceive their own aspirations, needs and identities vis-à-vis the polity. However, democracy requests certain attitudes and skills from citizens: political engagement, a reflective attitude, scrutiny of the power holders and balancing trust-based cooperation with critical reactions towards political authorities. In line with this, we investigate how external and internal political efficacy are associated with populist attitudes in the case of people who have and who do not have certain democratic capacities. Our findings drawing upon an original survey covering 15 European countries show that higher internal political efficacy is associated with more populist attitudes in the case of people with incomplete democratic capacities, but complete democratic capacities yield a ‘safety net’ against this effect. However, the negative relationship between external political efficacy and populist attitudes does not depend on these capacities: stronger dissatisfaction with the responsiveness of political elites leads to more populist attitudes irrespective of people’s democratic background. Nonetheless, our findings imply that a stronger emphasis on certain democratic practices and values in political socialization or civic education could prevent stronger political confidence would turn into populist views about politics.
Sampling-free Bayesian inversion with adaptive hierarchical tensor representations

A sampling-free approach to Bayesian inversion with an explicit polynomial representation of the parameter densities is developed, based on an affine-parametric representation of a linear forward model. This becomes feasible due to the complete treatment in function spaces, which requires an efficient model reduction technique for numerical computations. The advocated perspective yields the crucial benefit that error bounds can be derived for all occuring approximations, leading to provable convergence subject to the discretization parameters. Moreover, it enables a fully adaptive a posteriori control with automatic problem-dependent adjustments of the employed discretizations. The method is discussed in the context of modern hierarchical tensor representations, which are used for the evaluation of a random PDE (the forward model) and the subsequent high-dimensional quadrature of the log-likelihood, alleviating the ‘curse of dimensionality’. Numerical experiments demonstrate the performance and confirm the theoretical results.
Stabilisation of locally Lipschitz non-linear systems under input saturation and quantisation

This study addresses the control of locally Lipschitz non-linear systems under quantisation and input saturation non-linearities. The non-linear dynamics of the systems are taken to be locally Lipschitz, rather than the conventional globally Lipschitz counterpart, to consider a generalised form of the Lipschitz non-linear systems. An ellipsoidal region containing the origin is constructed, for which the non-linear dynamics satisfy the Lipschitz condition in contrast to the conventional approaches. Saturation and quantisation non-linearities are dealt using a generalised local sector condition and a bound on the quantisation noise. A regional control strategy for the stabilisation of non-linear systems using state feedback is devised by employing these conditions, which is further extended to attain robustness against external perturbations. The proposed control strategies guarantee convergence of the states of a non-linear system inside a bounded reducible region in the neighbourhood of the origin. In contrast to the conventional approaches, the present study considers ellipsoidally Lipschitz non-linear systems, supports various types of quantisers, ensures attenuation of the disturbances, and provides a clear picture of the region of stability. An example of the application of the proposed control strategies for a modified Chua's circuit is demonstrated.
Retrospective Analysis of Spectrum of Infections and Antibiotic Resistance Pattern in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis in a Tertiary Care Centre in North India

Introduction: Hemodialysis patients are at risk of infections. This study examines the spectrum of infections and antibiotic resistance patterns. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 586 hemodialysis patients from May 2018 to April 2020 in a tertiary care hospital in North India. Results: The study identified 99 episodes of confirmed infections. Urinary tract infections were the most common type of infections (55.5%), followed by catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) (definitive 21.2%). Other infections were pneumonia (8.1%), tuberculosis (6.1%), skin and soft tissue infection (4.0%), dengue fever (3.03%), and empyema thoracis (1.0%). Overall, Escherichia coli (33.3%) was the most common organism isolated. The most frequent uropathogens recovered were Escherichia coli (54%). In confirmed CRBSI, P. aeruginosa (23.8%) and MSSA (23.8%) were the most common pathogen isolated. K. pneumonia (37.5%) was the most common pathogen in pneumonia. Uropathogens showed the highest resistance to fluoroquinolones (93.3%–100%). Pathogens isolated in CRBSI showed maximum resistance to ciprofloxacin (100%). In pneumonia, the highest resistance was seen to third-generation cephalosporins (75%–100%). Conclusion: Though the bacterial spectrum remains the same over time, antibiotic resistance is changing in uropathogens. There is a trend of predominance of Gram-negative bacterial infections in CRBSI. Tuberculosis incidence rate was much higher than the general population. There is a need for nationwide and worldwide continuous surveillance.
Does algorithmic trading improve liquidity around dividend announcement? evidence from the stock exchange of Thailand

This study investigates the impact of the entry of algorithmic trading on Thailand’s stock market liquidity around dividend announcement during 2001 – 2016. We find some evidence to support that the entry of algorithmic trading in Thai stock market and their increase activities in the market help to provide more liquidity in term of trade volume in stock market liquidity especially after the dividend announcement releases. However, the rise of algorithmic trading tend to lead the market participants to consume liquidity in term of market depth at both best bid and bet offer rather than providing the standing orders in the market during period of high information asymmetry.
ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION TRANSFORMATION IN EARLY CHILDHOOD TRHOUGH HORSE RACING AT DOMPU TRIBE

This study aims to examine the role of traditional horse racing games in the tribes of the Dompu tribe, Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative approach with ethnographic methods. The subjects of the study were five young jockeys aged 4-8 years and seven horse owners. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation and focus group discussion (FGD). Data were analyzed using domain analysis techniques, taxonomic analysis, componential analysis and theme analysis. The results of the study indicate that the transformation of enviromental education in early childhood through horse racing games is done by growing children's concern for the environment and caring for animals, such as horses. During the process of horse racing, children are not permitted to damage nature and hurt animals. Therefore, horse racing becomes a means of enviromental education for children for the sake of the preservation of nature. Horse racing is also one of the most environmentally cared tourist destinations for local people. Another important finding is that the traditional horse racing game in the Dompu tribe has become a medium of transformation of enviromental education of for early childhood. This study informs that the transformation of environmental education can be done since children are aged 4 years through traditional horse racing games. This research can also be a reference for early childhood education practitioners to create a special school for children who have a hobby of riding horses.
Unsteady Three-Dimensional Dusty Couette Flow Through Porous Plates with Heat Transfer and Periodic Suction

The unsteady three-dimensional Couette flow of a viscous incompressible fluid between two porous flat plates with uniform injection and periodic suction has been investigated. Perturbation technique has been used to obtain approximate solutions for the velocity and temperature fields, skin friction and Nusselt number. The velocity and temperature profiles have been plotted to study the effects of different non-dimensional parameters on them. Increasing mass concentration parameter results in an increase in the main velocity. Increase in the frequency parameter results in flattening of the main velocity profiles. The effects of other non-dimensional parameters have also been studied. Furthermore, skin friction and Nusselt number have been tabulated for different values of the non-dimensional parameters.

From Ion Fluxes in Living Cells to Metabolic Power Considerations

Recently, the role of thermal resonance has been highlighted in living cells. As a consequence of this approach, the electrochemical potential was obtained in a partial differential equation concerning the cell membrane depth and its external temperature surface. In this paper, this last equation is studied and its solution’s consequences are discussed concerning the cells’ ion fluxes and their related entropy variation and power generation. Moreover, the metabolic power of the whole body is evaluated by using these previous numerical results.
Digital Cognitive Maps for Scientific Knowledge Construction in Initial Teacher Education

Interactive technology offers new opportunities to design dialogic learning spaces and scaffolds with the aid of visual icons. These technological environments can support the construction of open-ended visual cognitive digital maps, which portray an external representation of scientific knowledge that could foster the meaningful resolution of socio-scientific challenges. In this context, this research aims to study the impact of digital cognitive maps on: a) meaningful learning of scientific concepts and b) complex representation of scientific concepts in teacher education. A case study with multi-method analysis was designed. The cognitive maps of 47 teacher education students are analysed, both quantitatively and qualitatively, and before-after their participation in an educational experience that enhances the collaborative construction of digital cognitive maps in order to solve a socio-scientific challenge. The results show that the overall educational experience and, specifically, the scientific inquiry visual scaffolds embedded into the technological environment have a positive impact on learning scientific knowledge and inquiry skills. Furthermore, outcomes also indicate that the experience enriches the students’ representation strategies of complex scientific knowledge and that the construction of cognitive maps with a network architecture increases after the educational experience. Finally, educational implications on the use of interactive technology and cognitive maps for promoting significant learning of content knowledge in pre-service teachers are discussed.
THE CONCORDANCE OF BRIXIA AND RALE SCORES IN EVALUATION OF COVID-19 PNEUMONIA PATIENT USING RADIOGRAPHY IN INDONESIA REFERRAL HOSPITAL

The COVID-19 pandemic has put intense pressure on the healthcare systems. As the lung complication of COVID-19, pneumonia can be assessed by chest radiography which can be used to predict the severity of patient deterioration using Brixia and RALE scores. This research aims to assess the Radiologists' agreement on diagnosing pneumonia COVID-19 by RT-PCR in CXR using the Brixia and RALE score at Dr. Sardjito Central General Hospital from May 2020-January 2021. Two separate radiologists scored initial chest radiographs for RALE and Brixia independently. The analysis assessed included a descriptive analysis of demographic data, and Bland-Altman plots were used to visualize intra-observer agreement. A total of 332 samples were 162 men (48.8%) and 170 women (51.2%), with a mean age of 42.37. The ICC of Brixia score (0.855, CI:0.794-0.895) and RALE score (0.756, CI:0.662-0.812). Bland–Altman analysis revealed a bias of 5.08 ± 6.04 (95% limits of agreement of -6.760 and 16.929) for Brixia and RALE scores and significantly correlated (r=0.886 (p0.05)). The average score of Brixia (6.29±4.430) and RALE (11.56±9.997) in men was higher than in women. The agreement of Radiologists in diagnosing pneumonia COVID-19 using Brixia and RALE scores with the Bland Altman curve was significant or reliable.
Pricing American call options under a hard-to-borrow stock model

While a classic result by Merton (1973, Bell J. Econ. Manage. Sci., 141–183) is that one should never exercise an American call option just before expiration if the underlying stock pays no dividends, the conclusion of a very recent empirical study conducted by Jensen and Pedersen (2016, J. Financ. Econ. 121(2), 278–299) suggests that one should ‘never say never’. This paper complements Jensen and Pedersen's empirical study by presenting a theoretical study on how to price American call options under a hard-to-borrow stock model proposed by Avellaneda and Lipkin (2009, Risk 22(6), 92–97). Our study confirms that it is the lending fee that results in the early exercise of American call options and we shall also demonstrate to what extent lending fees have affected the early exercise decision.

Simulating gas-water relative permeabilities for nanoscale porous media with interfacial effects

Abstract This paper presents a theoretical method to simulate gas-water relative permeability for nanoscale porous media utilizing fractal theory. The comparison between the calculation results and experimental data was performed to validate the present model. The result shows that the gas-water relative permeability would be underestimated significantly without interfacial effects. The thinner the liquid film thickness, the greater the liquid-phase relative permeability. In addition, both liquid surface diffusion and gas diffusion coefficient can promote gas-liquid two-phase flow. Increase of liquid surface diffusion prefer to increase liquid-phase permeability obviously as similar as increase of gas diffusion coefficient to increase gas-phase permeability. Moreover, the pore structure will become complicated with the increase of fractal dimension, which would reduce the gas-water relative permeability. This study has provided new insights for development of gas reservoirs with nanoscale pores such as shale.

Women’s participation in political leadership: Standpoints from Central Asia and Central Europe

This article aims at determining the influence of power distribution within families on women’s views of politicians. The work represents the first cross-cultural study of gender stereotypes about political leaders embracing post-socialist Central Asian and Central European countries. The responses of 6,869 women to the Life in Transition Survey III were analyzed using a quantitative research study. A multivariate linear regression model and correlation coefficients allowed us to identify the relationship between patriarchal and patrilocal families with a high level of gender stereotypes and the impact of individual women's decisions on their lower bias. No positive effect of spouses’ mutual decisions on the level of gender stereotypes was revealed. The theoretical importance of the work lies in expanding the existing knowledge about the influence of family power on women’s internal beliefs, which broadens the understanding of the Western Role Congruity Theory in emerging economies.
Changes in soil organic carbon and nutrient pools in aggregate‐sized fractions along a chronosequence of wolfberry (Lycium barbarum L.) plantations in arid areas of Northwest China

Different land use and management actions can affect soil aggregates (SAs) and nutrient stocks, which are crucial for sustainable agriculture. The impacts of various chrono‐sequences on the soil aggregate structure, soil organic carbon (SOC) and nutrients associated with aggregate fractions in wolfberry (Lycium barbarum L.) plantations are still not fully understood. This study examined the composition and stability of SAs, SOC, total nitrogen (TN), available phosphorus (AP) and exchangeable cations (K+, Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+) in bulk soil and various aggregate‐size fractions from five wolfberry plantations with varying ages (1, 4, 6, 10 and 13 years) and a corn field (0 years) in the arid region of northwest Ningxia in China. The results indicated that silt–clay (<53 μm) fractions were dominant in the soil, accounting for 51%–66%, under different plantation ages. The proportion of the macro‐aggregates (>250 μm) increased significantly, by 40%–47%, over the 4 years of wolfberry plantation. Likewise, the soil aggregate stability was improved, and total exchangeable bases (TEB) along with numerous cations concentrations (K+, Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+) in SAs were significantly reduced as the wolfberry plantings became older. Both concentrations of SOC and TN in the soil aggregates peaked in the 13th year. The silt–clay fractions stored a considerable amount of SOC and nutrients. However, short‐term (under 6 years) cultivation of wolfberry reduced the stocks of SOC, TN and AP in the soil, while long‐term (over 10 years) cultivation increased them, particularly in macro‐aggregates. These findings indicated that long‐term wolfberry farming had several advantages, such as enhancing soil structure, accumulating SOC and nutrients and ameliorating alkaline soils, especially after 10 years, in the arid northwest of China.
