Parental Perceived Usefulness on a School-Integrated App to Prevent Bullying and Eating Disorders

The prevalence of bullying and eating disorders among adolescents is alarmingly high. In response to these issues, a mobile application called “Searching Help” was designed to be incorporated into school environments. This study aims to understand parents’ views on a school-integrated app designed to prevent bullying and eating disorders. Additionally, it sought to identify potential gender differences in these perceptions. Utilizing a retrospective research approach, we gathered insights from 201 parents of Spanish adolescents aged 12–18. The findings highlighted that a school-integrated app to prevent bullying and eating disorders was positively received by parents. Regarding gender, mothers were more aware of eating disorders and had greater concerns about unauthorized data access compared to fathers. Conversely, fathers were more optimistic about the potential of the app in creating a secure school environment against bullying and eating disorders. Notably, it was observed that although parents had a decent understanding of the problems associated with bullying and eating disorders independently, their knowledge of the technological solutions available to address these issues was considerably limited. In conclusion, this research confirms the gender-specific variations in parents’ attitudes and views toward technology-based solutions in schools and emphasizes a need for enhanced awareness initiatives to familiarize parents with relevant technological solutions for their children’s safety.
Challenging Case: A Case Report on Crohn's Disease Emerging after The Initiation of Capecitabine for Colorectal Cancer

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the gastrointestinal tract. This group of disorders includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Diagnosis of IBD involves a comprehensive approach that combines medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, endoscopy, imaging, and occasionally biopsy of intestinal tissue. Patients with IBD have an increased risk of developing colorectal adenocarcinoma, a type of colorectal cancer. However, IBD induced by surgical resections of the intestines or chemotherapy drugs is extremely rare. Objective: This study aimed to throw the light on the importance of careful evaluation and accurate diagnosis in patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of both types of IBD. Subject and methods: This abstract presents a challenging case in which a patient was initially suspected to have chemotherapy-induced colitis but was ultimately diagnosed with IBD-associated colorectal cancer. Results: The case highlighted the importance of careful evaluation and accurate diagnosis in patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of both IBD, as the treatment approaches and prognoses can significantly differ between the two conditions. Conclusion: Capecitabine, commonly used in cancer treatment, can induce colitis with symptoms that overlap with those of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Distinguishing between capecitabine-induced colitis and IBD is challenging due to similar clinical presentations. Discontinuation of capecitabine often leads to symptom improvement, but in IBD cases, additional therapies like steroids and biologics may be necessary. Close monitoring and further evaluation are crucial for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment strategies in patients experiencing gastrointestinal toxicity from capecitabine-based chemotherapy.
Acceptance of "GM food" in Europe: What People Say and Do

It is often stated that consumers in Europe reject "GM food" - or that GM crops would be outright banned. While the latter is patently false, there is also little tangible evidence to support the assumption that Europeans wouldn't buy food that was produced using genetic engineering: The impression of a general rejection of GM crops by Europeans relies largely on the results of more or less rigorous surveys and the absence of labeled GM food in the mainstream food retail system - which may be more the result of power dynamics and incentives of other stake- holders than a deeper rejection of GM food by consumers. This paper reviews some of the more recent literature on the acceptance of GM food in Europe, draws tentative conclusions why labeled GM food in the European food retail market is largely absent, and highlights implications for the rest of the world.
Little Ice Age summer temperatures in western Norway from a 700-year tree-ring chronology

A ring-width Pinus sylvestris chronology from Sogndal in western Norway was created, covering the period AD 1240–2008 and allowing for reconstruction of monthly mean July temperatures. This reconstruction is the first of its kind from western Norway and it aims to densify the existing network of temperature-sensitive tree-ring proxy series to better understand past temperature variability in the ‘Little Ice Age’ and diminish the spatial uncertainty. Spatial correlation reveals strong agreement with temperatures in southern Norway, especially on the western side of the Scandinavian Mountains. Five prominent cold periods are identified on a decadal timescale, centred on 1480, 1580, 1635, 1709 and 1784 and ‘Little Ice Age’ cooling spanning from 1450 to the early 18th century. High interannual and decadal agreement is found with an independent temperature reconstruction from western Norway, which is based on data from grain harvests and terminal moraines. The reconstructed temperatures also correlate with other tree-ring-based temperature reconstructions from Fennoscandia, most strongly with data from central Sweden. Tree growth in Sogndal is correlated to the Scandinavian teleconnection index in the summer months, at least in the last half of the 20th century, and is positively correlated to the summer expression of the North Atlantic Oscillation in the early half of the 20th century. A significant response to major volcanic forcing in the Northern Hemisphere was found, and extreme years seem to be related to the dominance of high and low geopotential height that in turn represents variability in the path of the storm tracks over Fennoscandia. When compared with the variation in frontal positions with time of Nigardsbreen, an eastern outlet glacier from the Jostedalsbreen glacier in western Norway, cold summers in the early 18th century relates to the culmination of a rapid glacial advance that lead up to the 1748 ‘Little Ice Age’ maximum extent.
Nonpharmacological interventions and outcomes in the management of complications of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1-related myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis: A systematic review

Background: Human T-cell lymph tropic virus type 1 (HTLV-I)-related myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (TSP) is a progressive inflammatory process affecting the spinal cord that occurs as a result of HTLV 1. The use of nonpharmacological approaches has always been one of the treatment strategies in these patients, but disagreement about these interventions and their results has led to their limited use. Therefore, this study aimed to identify nonpharmacological interventions and their consequences in these patients. Materials and Methods: We followed the Cochrane Handbook for systematic reviews of interventions. The present report is organized according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. This study was conducted at PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus, among all published studies by December 30, 2021. Keywords were: HTLV-1, Human T-lymph tropic virus 1, HTLV-I-associated myelopathy, HAM/TSP, tropical spastic paraparesis, nonpharmacological intervention, nonpharmacological treatment, massage, physiotherapy, acupuncture, acupressure, and exercise. The quality of the studies was assessed using JADAD. Results: Of 288 articles, 11 were eligible for data extraction published between 2014 and 2021. 90/9% of studies were randomized clinical trials. 81/8% of articles were of high quality. The total sample size was 253 people, of which 137 (54/15%) were women. Approaches such as exercise and motion therapy, electrotherapy, behavioral therapy, and virtual reality can be used for these patients. With these interventions, results such as improved mobility and balance, physical condition, pain, quality of life, muscle spasticity, maximum inspiratory pressure, and urinary symptoms can be achieved. Conclusion: The most common physical therapy method used in studies was active and passive body movements, which are associated with positive results for patients. Due to the small sample size in this group of studies, it is necessary to conduct more clinical trials for more accurate conclusions. Furthermore, due to the limited number of studies that have used electrical stimulation or combined intervention packages, it is not possible to say with certainty what effect these methods have on patients. It is necessary to conduct more clinical trials.
DESIGN OF TEE FRAMING SHEAR CONNECTIONS

An analytical study was performed to establish the shear-rotation relationship that will exist in the connections of simply supported beams. A computer program was developed and used to simulate increased monotonic uniform loading of a beam supported by simple connections until the beam collapsed. The computer program was used to perform inelastic analyses of beams having all the cross sections from W16 to W33 that are listed in the AISC Manual. That realistic testing of tee connections indicates that considerable shear yielding occurs in the stem and flange of the tee prior to failure. Tee connections that were studied were flexible enough to be considered type II (simple connections). The limit states that were observed during the testing were: bolt shear fracture, tee stem yielding, tee flange yielding tee stem fracture, bolt hole bearing failure and weld fracture. Other study findings are presented and discussed.

On the field‐to‐current conversion factors for lightning strike to tall objects considering the finitely conducting ground

In this paper, we have studied the accuracy of field‐to‐current conversion factors (FCCFs) presented by Baba and Rakov (2007) for currents inferred from electromagnetic field produced by lightning strike to tall objects, considering the perfectly and finitely conducting ground, respectively. For the perfectly conducting ground, the different FCCFs for the initial peak current at the object top, the short‐circuit current peak, the largest peak current at the object top, and the peak current at the object bottom have different accuracy ranging from underestimation of 18% to overestimation of 10% for the reflection coefficients at the two ends of object ρt = − 0.5 and ρb = 1.0, and from underestimation of 25% to overestimation of 10% for ρt = − 0.5 and ρb = 0.7; and their accuracy decreases with the increase of current risetime RT. For the finite conductivity with 0.01 S/m and 0.001 S/m, FCCFs will cause many errors if we do not take into account the propagation effect along the finitely conducting ground, and their errors obviously increase with the decrease of the conductivity. For example, for ρt = − 0.5 and ρb = 1.0, the errors are about 20% when the conductivity is 0.01 S/m while the errors are about 55% when the conductivity is 0.001 S/m for lightning strike to the 168 m high object. Therefore, we revised FCCFs by considering the propagation effect of finite conductivity on the electromagnetic field radiated by lightning strike to tall objects and found that our revised FCCFs have much better accuracy for the lossy ground than that presented by Baba and Rakov (2007).
Faculty versus students: different perceptions of misconducts at university

Introduction Academic integrity is a goal to be achieved by university institutions, and student academic behavioral misconduct is a phenomenon to be fought and eradicated. Two of the main problems faced by universities in this area are: (1) the lack of consensus among students and faculty on the seriousness of acts considered academic misconduct; and (2) the difficulty of noticing and controlling certain student behaviors. The main aim of this paper is to assess the importance of these two problems. Methods For this purpose, the authors compare, on the one hand, students’ and teachers’ perceptions of the seriousness of different types of dishonest and inappropriate behaviors and, on the other hand, the frequency with which they report that these misconducts occur. Two samples were taken from the responses of students and teachers of the Economics and Business School of the University of Zaragoza. The first consisted of 333 students and the second of 72 teachers. The academic misconducts asked about were grouped into three categories: academic works, exams, and interpersonal relationships in the classroom. Nonparametric tests were used to study the significance of the differences observed in the responses of students and teachers. Results Results show that the greatest differences in the assessment of the seriousness of academic misconducts are in the group referring to interpersonal relationships. In terms of frequency, the study reveals that there is a serious problem of moral hazard in some of the behaviors analyzed, since the frequency with which teachers notice these practices is lower than that expressed by students. Discussion Based on these results, possible measures to be adopted in universities in order to eradicate the academic misconduct problem are discussed.
An Effective Fanout-Based Method for Improving Error Propagation Probability Estimation in Combinational Circuits

The downsizing of nanoscale circuits imposes new challenges for circuit reliability, including hard defects, soft errors and unsaturated voltage/current. Many studies on the reliability of digital circuits have focused on achieving accurate reliability estimation and more efficiency for larger circuits. To achieve accurate reliability estimation, it is necessary to address the issue of error propagation and consider correlated signals from reconverging paths in reliability calculations. In this paper, an error propagation probability model for each gate, which takes into account the probability of an unreliable logic gate’s input signal and relates it to the probability of the output signal is proposed. Additionally, we introduce an efficient approach that utilizes a new fanout matrix to tackle the reconvergent fanouts problem. Furthermore, to ensure an accurate estimation of combinational logic circuit reliability, the probabilities obtained for each fanout should be included in the calculations by defining a fanout probability matrix. To address this issue, a new method is proposed at each calculation stage, aiming to minimize computational complexity making it suitable for large circuits with a significant number of fanouts. We conducted various simulations to demonstrate the accuracy and scalability of the proposed method on the ISCAS 85 benchmark circuit and EPFL Benchmark. The results show less than 1% average relative error in reliability estimation and outperform state-of-the-art methods in reliability estimation and algorithm runtime.
Mutation of PTEN: Loss and Likelihood of Being a Non-responder to Trastuzumab in a Sample of Iraqi Her2+ Breast Cancer Patients

Introduction: PTEN controls upstream PI3K relatives, such as AKT. PTEN gene mutations have been documented to affect outcomes in main or distant malignancies, including breast cancer (BC). PTEN gene deletions are common in a variety of human cancers. A key factor in the response to this kind of therapy is genetic diversity. The purpose of this research is to determine whether a PTEN loss mutation influences a patient's propensity to not respond to trastuzumab (TRS) in cases of Her2+ BC. Methods: Diwaniya Teaching Hospital's oncology ward provided 60 patients with Her2+ BC who had been on TRS for at least 12 months for this study. Patients were split in half using the RECIST criteria for evaluating responses to therapy in solid tumors: responders and non-responders. A PTEN polyclonal primary antibody was used for the detection of PTEN in breast tissue in the current study. Results: This research employs a rating system based on eight specimens (26.67%) among non-responsive women who demonstrated PTEN loss compared with one specimen (3.33%) among responsive women. Statistically, PTEN loss varied significantly between the responsive and non-responsive groups. Loss of PTEN was also not linked to shifts in creatine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB), troponin T (TnT), or any other biomarker, or troponin I (Tn1) at baseline or after 12 months of TRS therapy. These results give us important information about how PTEN deletion mutations might work as a predictor for TRS response in women with Her2+ BC.
Using scanning electron microscopy and molecular data to discover a new species from old herbarium collections: The case of Phlomoideshenryi (Lamiaceae, Lamioideae)

﻿Abstract Phlomoides is one of the largest genera of Lamiaceae with approximately 150–170 species distributed mainly in Eurasia. In this study, we describe and illustrate a new species, P.henryi, which was previously misidentified as P.bracteosa, from Yunnan Province, southwest China. Molecular phylogenetic analyses revealed that P.henryi is found within a clade in which most species lack basal leaves. In this clade, the new species is morphologically distinct from P.rotata in having an obvious stem and, from the rest, by having transparent to white trichomes inside the upper corolla lip. In addition, micro-features of trichomes on the calyx and leaf epidermis can differentiate the new species from other species grouped in the same clade and a key, based on trichome morphology for these species, is provided. The findings demonstrate that the use of scanning electron microscopy can reveal inconspicuous morphological affinities amongst morphologically similar species and play an important role in the taxonomic study of the genus Phlomoides.
Human milk-derived versus bovine milk-derived fortifier use in very low birth weight infants: growth and vitamin D status

Background Human milk-derived fortifier (HMDF) coupled with human milk feeding in extremely premature infants reduces the adverse outcome risks of early exposure to bovine milk ingredients but may not provide enough nutrients for adequate catch-up growth compared with bovine milk-derived fortifier (BMDF). Objective This study aims to compare HMDF and BMDF effects on growth parameters and serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25OHD) levels in preterm very low birth weight (VLBW) infants during the first 8 weeks of life. Methods We present a retrospective chart review of inpatient VLBW infants with birth weight <1,500 g and gestational age <32 completed weeks who received either their mother’s milk or donor breast human milk fortified with HMDF or BMDF for the first 8 weeks. Weight, head circumference, length gain, and 25OHD level were calculated at 4 and 8 weeks of age. Results A total of 139 VLBW infants (91 HMDF + 48 BMDF) received fortified human milk without any supplemental premature formula from birth to 4 weeks of age, of whom 44 (37 HMDF + 7 BMDF) continued until 8 weeks of age. There was no statistically significant difference in the growth parameters between the two groups at 4 and 8 weeks of age. Serum 25OHD level in the HMDF group was significantly higher compared with that in the BMDF group at 4 weeks of age despite receiving lower vitamin D supplementation. Conclusion Similar gain in growth parameters in HMDF and BMDF groups at 4 and 8 weeks of age was observed, suggesting that HMDF provides adequate nutrients for growth in VLBW infants. A higher 25OHD level in HMDF may suggest better absorption.
