Sibling Experiences of Adverse Childhood Experiences: A Scoping Review

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are traumatic events during childhood known to affect health and well-being across the life span. The detrimental impact ACEs have on children and young people is well-established. It is also known that 85 to 90% of children have at least one sibling. Using this as the foundation for our inquiry, the purpose of this scoping review was to understand what we currently know about the experiences of siblings living with ACEs. Sibling relationships are unique, and for some the most enduring of experiences. These relationships can be thought of as bonds held together by love and warmth; however, they can also provide scope for undesirable outcomes, such as escalation of conflicts and animosities. This scoping review was conducted following Arksey and O’Malley’s (2005) methodological framework, complemented by the PAGER framework (Bradbury-Jones et al. 2021), offering a structured approach to the review’s analysis and reporting through presenting the Patterns, Advances, Gaps, and Evidence for practice and Research. In June 2020, we searched 12 databases, with 11,469 results. Articles were screened for eligibility by the review team leaving a total of 148 articles meeting the inclusion criteria. Included articles highlighted overwhelming evidence of older siblings shielding younger siblings, and the likelihood that when one sibling experiences adversity, other siblings will be experiencing it themselves or vicariously. The implications of this in practice are that support services and statutory bodies need to ensure considerations are given to all siblings when one has presented with experiencing childhood adversity, especially to older siblings who may take far more burden as regards care-giving and protection of younger siblings. Given that more than half of the included articles did not offer any theoretical understanding to sibling experiences of ACEs, this area is of importance for future research. Greater attention is also needed for research exploring different types of sibling relationships (full, step, half), and whether these influence the impact that ACEs have on children and young people.

Workplace Flexibility: Helping Talented Women Professionals Return to Work and Businesses Grow in an Agile Manner

The Future of Work is a familiar concept for most of us in the business world. It comprises several trends, many of which are already upon us; and it could be argued that the one trend that will have the most impact is that of workplace flexibility. It is a beautiful convergence of many technological, social and economic advances over the last few decades and contributes to the global effort behind the development of cutting-edge technology in the areas of AR and VR. Most importantly, it gives hope of a better tomorrow where every individual has meaningful occupation, is self-sustaining and pursues balanced holistic goals. In this article, we look at flexibility in work from the lens of various stakeholders but primarily the job seekers and job providers, and the kinds of benefits that it brings to each. We derive our data and insights from secondary sources, primary research conducted by us in the space, and insights that we have gleaned from the successful functioning of our company, FlexiBees.
Walking to a transport stop and its influence on commuting

The portion of people using individual transport is continuously on the rise in Czechia; however, public transport remains a very important mode of commuting. Public transport use is constrained by different factors, including the accessibility of transport networks. The situation concerning the accessibility of public transport stops has been studied in three selected NUTS3 units – the Usti, Vysocina and Moravian-Silesian Regions. The testing of accessibility is based on the selection of five employers in each district (95 employers altogether) as commuting destinations, public transport simulations (using existing connections) from all buildings in the region and the evaluation of obtained commuting time. The virtual commuter may select one of the five closest stops to his/her residence and similarly select a favourite stop to access the destination. Next, commuting parameters of the different choices are compared. This procedure makes it possible to select the best origin and destination stops. Finally, the degree of a stop’s use is calculated using the order of stops and the amount of walking time to the most useable stop as a share of the time needed for the entire journey.
NON-PARAMETRIC IDENTIFICATION TECHNIQUES FOR INTELLIGENT PNEUMATIC ACTUATOR

The aim of this paper is to present experimental, empirical and analytic identification techniques, known as non-parametric techniques. Poor dynamics and high nonlinearities are parts of the difficulties in the control of pneumatic actuator functions, which make the identification technique very challenging. Firstly, the step response experimental data is collected to obtain real-time force model of the intelligent pneumatic actuator (IPA). The IPA plant and Personal Computer (PC) communicate through Data Acquisition (DAQ) card over MATLAB software. The second method is approximating the process by curve reaction of a first-order plus delay process, and the third method uses the equivalent n order process with PTn model parameters. The obtained results have been compared with the previous study, achieved based on force system identification of IPA obtained by the (Auto-Regressive model with eXogenous) ARX model. The models developed using non-parameters identification techniques have good responses and their responses are close to the model identified using the ARX system identification model. The controller approved the success of the identification technique with good performance. This means the Non-Parametric techniques are strongly recommended, suitable, and feasible to use to analyze and design the force controller of IPA system. The techniques are thus very suitable to identify the real IPA plant and achieve widespread industrial acceptance.
OAEM_A_348378 41..49

Background: High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) is recommended for diagnosing non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS). While the guidelines recommend using the 0,1-hour (hr) and 0,3-hr hs-cTnT algorithms, their efficacy has not been clearly established in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. We aimed to assess the differential associations between the two algorithms mentioned above with significant coronary stenosis in CKD patients. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study. Patients aged ≥18 years who were diagnosed with NSTE-ACS and had undergone coronary angiogram were recruited. The differential association between significant coronary stenosis and being ruled in based on the 0,1-hr and 0,3-hr hs-cTnT algorithm was analyzed and reported. Results: There were 158 and 160 patients in the CKD and normal renal function groups. Among CKD patients, determinants of significant coronary stenosis were hypertension (OR = 2.68; 95% CI 1.10–6.50) and being ruled in by the 0,3-hr algorithm (OR = 3.65; 95% CI 1.27–10.52). In the normal renal function group, age (OR = 1.04; 95% CI 1.01–1.06), male sex (OR = 2.15; 95% CI 1.09– 4.22), and being ruled in by the 0,1-hr algorithm (OR = 3.12; 95% CI 1.20–8.10) were associated with significant coronary stenosis. Conclusion: Being ruled in according to the 0,3-hr algorithm was significantly associated with coronary stenosis in CKD patients, making this a likely algorithm of choice in these patients.
HEALTH COMMUNICATION MEDIUM AND NUTRITION KNOWLEDGE TO REDUCE STUNTING AMONG RESIDENTS OF PEOPLE'S HOUSING PROJECT IN KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA: A PRELIMINARY FINDING

Stunting is a subtype of undernutrition that often occurs in children under five years of age that can cause cognitive, physical, and metabolic developmental abnormalities, leading to poor intellectual ability and school achievement. Dietary diversity, which includes plant source foods, such as vegetables, fruits and staples, as well as animal source foods, and breast milk for infants, is vital for growth, development, and good health. This study attempts to investigate the health and nutrition knowledge and identify communication medium suitable for sharing health information among urban poor residents living in People's Housing Project flats in Kuala Lumpur. This study is a cross-sectional study, and respondents were selected by convenience sampling, consisting of heads of household (n=20), young married couples (n=3) and adolescents (n=19). They completed a self-administrated questionnaire, which assessed their preferred communication medium, socio-demography, maternal knowledge of stunting and healthy eating practices. The heads of household reported lower educational level and monthly household incomes (<RM 1500) than young married couples (>RM3500). WhatsApp and Facebook were the most favored communication media among all respondents. Most young married couples have heard of stunting (67%) and the first 1000 days of life concept (67%), while 65% of heads of household have heard of stunting. Heads of household reported that their baby was breastfed for 24 months (80%), while complementary feeding was introduced at six months of age (90%). A higher percentage of heads of household like to eat vegetables (70%) and drink fruit juice (80%) compared to adolescents. Both heads of household and adolescent respondents like to drink water and milk. In contrast, adolescents prefer to consume cereal with milk for breakfast (77%) compared to heads of household. Low socio-economic status and poor nutritional and health knowledge among families are possibly associated with increased stunting among urban poor living in low-cost flats in Kuala Lumpur. These findings have important implications for understanding how to communicate health and nutrition information to the residents of low-cost flats could support developing education modules and nutrition intervention frameworks to reduce stunting. The limitations of our study include that no dietary intake assessments were included, which limits the capacity to generalize valid conclusions between nutrition knowledge and dietary intake.
Stability Improvement of Battery Energy Storage System considering Synchronous Inductance Effect of Diesel Generator

This paper analyzes stability of current control in respect of four cases of battery energy storage system (BESS) in a stand-alone microgrid. The stand-alone microgrid is composed of BESS, diesel generator and controllable loads, where all of them have a rated power of 50kW. The four cases are considered as following: 1) BESS with a stiff grid 2) BESS with the diesel generator 3) BESS with passive damping + diesel generator 4) BESS with active damping + diesel generator, and their stabilities are analyzed in the frequency domain and discrete time domain. The comparative analysis for four cases are verified through simulation and experiments through demonstration site of the standalone microgrid, where the DC link is connected to a 115kW battery bank composed of 48 lead-acid batteries (400AH/12V). Experimental results show a good agreement with the analysis.
Ownership Structure and Corporate Social Performance

Recent global financial scandals have brought to light the importance of corporate governance and related issues. The rights of investors and other stakeholders have thus became vital. As we seek to improve the internal governance mechanism and enhance actions of corporate social responsibility, the shortage of updated literature on non-financial social performance greatly hinders the transparency to the problems stated above, making tasks relatively challenging. In this research we focus on a common characteristic shared by many publicly listed Taiwanese companies whose control shareholders hold key management positions. In other words, a central agency problem between major and minor shareholders arises. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether ownership structure is a significant factor in corporate social performance. The empirical results indicate that when companies have more deviation between control rights and cash flow rights of control shareholders, they are more likely to have negative corporate social performance. In addition, companies that have more cash flow rights from control stockholders are less likely to encounter negative corporate social performance.
Research Article: Improvement of Thalassiosira weissflogii as a high valuable nutritional feed

Recently, the rising demand for high-quality seafood has created a fresh look at the sustained and adequate aquafeed as a necessity. Considering the potential of microalgae cells, many companies are looking for practical methods to enhance the nutritional content of these microorganisms as valuable aquafeed. In this attempt, Thalassiosira weissflogii isolated from the Caspian Sea and identified with morphology and molecular characteristics. In order to improve lipid content, this strain was cultivated in normal and nitrogen deficiency F/2 medium for 18 and 30 days. The growth indices, total lipid, fatty acids profiles were measured in both cases. Growth of T. weissflogii during nitrogen deficiency conditions was associated with a sharp decline in cell growth and significant rise in lipid production such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Although the eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) level was reduced by half under nitrogen deficiency condition (8.8 to 3.23 % TFA), the amount of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) escalated during this situation (3.5 to 12.63 % TFA). Results showed that the concept of N-deficiency conditions along with prolonged culturing could improve PUFA n-3 content to provide highly valuable feed for shellfish and shrimp industries.
Morphology and Dynamics of the Endocytic Pathway in Dictyostelium discoideum□V

Dictyostelium discoideum is a genetically and biochemically tractable social amoeba belonging to the crown group of eukaryotes. It performs some of the tasks characteristic of a leukocyte such as chemotactic motility, macropinocytosis, and phagocytosis that are not performed by other model organisms or are difficult to study. D. discoideum is becoming a popular system to study molecular mechanisms of endocytosis, but the morphological characterization of the organelles along this pathway and the comparison with equivalent and/or different organelles in animal cells and yeasts were lagging. Herein, we used a combination of evanescent wave microscopy and electron microscopy of rapidly frozen samples to visualize primary endocytic vesicles, vesicular-tubular structures of the early and late endo-lysosomal system, such as multivesicular bodies, and the specialized secretory lysosomes. In addition, we present biochemical and morphological evidence for the existence of a micropinocytic pathway, which contributes to the uptake of membrane along side macropinocytosis, which is the major fluid phase uptake process.

Supplementary Material for Linguistically Routing Capsule Network for Out-of-distribution Visual Question Answering

As shown in Figure 1, we introduce the linguistically routing into the convolution layers within the 4 residual blocks. The questions and the words are embedded by a GRU. The words embedding are fused with the 14 × 14 × 1024 extracted image feature. The fused feature is fed into 4 residual blocks. Each block contains a linguistically routing convolution with 3× 3× 144 kernel, a batch normalization, a multiplication with the transformed question embedding, a ReLU activation, and a residual connection. The classifier convolves the 144-dimensional feature maps to 512 dimensions and feeds the result into two fully connected layers to predict the answer.
Measuring the usefulness of earnings announcement for uninformed traders-evidence from implied volatility in option market

In this research study, we develop a new measure based on the option market to address the information role of earnings announcement on uninformed traders. Enlightened by previous theoretical work by Kim and Verrecchia (1991, 1994) and empirical findings in Patell and Wolfson (1979, 1981), our measure might capture two advantages that informed traders have overall naïve investors. We apply three sets of validity tests and the evidence shows that firms with high disclosure score made by us experience improved market liquidity, less informed trading in stock and option market, less profitability earned by insiders, and more strongly response by analysts. These results indicate our measure does capture the disclosure quality from perspective of uninformed traders. Overall, we construct a financial information measure that could by widely applied and shows that the ability to reduce uncertainty through financial reports plays a significant role in market trading.
Belgium has a problem: Dioxin-tainted food

Belgium is facing what may well be one of the most expensive cases of tainted food ever. It has been forced to remove from the market and destroy huge amounts of polychlorinated biphenyland dioxin-contaminated chickens, dairy products, eggs, baked goods, and some pork and beef products. All the contamination springs from one batch of contaminated fat that was incorporated into animal feed sold in Belgium since the beginning of the year. Some of the feed found its way into France and the Netherlands, so some of their livestock were also contaminated. At a June 9 hearing in Brussels, two Belgian health officials said that 2 to 4 kg of a mixture of PCBs and dioxins, most likely Arochlor 1260—a technical PCB mixture once used as a transformer oil—was put into one 80,000-kg batch of animal fat. This fat was then mixed with 1.4 million kg of animal feed. Adding animal fat to livestock feed is .
Systematic review of determinants and consequences of bystander interventions in online hate and cyberbullying among adults

ABSTRACT Despite the substantial amount of literature concerning adolescent bystanders of online hate and cyberbullying, relatively little attention has been devoted to studying the same issue in adults. Similarly, the determinants of the effectiveness of different messages to support the victims or counter hate have also been understudied. The existing pieces of empirical research on these topics remained scattered and no systematic review was performed to check if there are any patterns with regard to determinants and consequences of adult bystanders intervening against hate online. To fill these gaps, we performed a literature review in accordance with the guidelines of the Cochrane Collaboration Handbook for Systematic Reviews. The results of the literature search and analysis yielded three important findings. First, personal and contextual factors determining bystander action in adults largely overlap with the factors identified in adolescent populations: empathy, prior victimisation, feelings of responsibility, severity, social norms, relationship with the victim and number of bystanders. Second, personal factors promoting bystander action seem to be interconnected via empathy and social norms, both of which can be facilitated through psycho-education. Third, there is a critical lack of studies on the effectiveness of different bystander interventions.

Silicon ring resonator add-drop multiplexers

Wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) using silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguides have become an attractive area of research to decrease the footprint of optical interconnects as well as to ensure high speed data transmission. Specifically, research into using SOI ring resonator add-drop filters for WDM applications have been increasingly pursued. A ring resonator coupled on both sides by straight waveguides enables one to add (multiplex) or drop (demultiplex) wavelengths. Using series-coupled ring resonators, with each resonator having a different length, enables better spectral performance than single ring resonators. In this thesis, we have analyzed the properties of SOI strip waveguides and directional couplers. We have compared different spectral properties of single and series-coupled ring resonators and showed the advantages of using series-coupled ring resonators. SOI strip waveguide series-coupled racetrack resonators exhibiting the Vernier effect were designed by us and fabricated at a leading edge foundry. The free spectral range was 36 nm, which is comparable to the span of the optical C-band. The drop port response showed interstitial peak suppression between 9 dB and 17 dB and minimal resonance splitting.
