Perkembangan dunia teknologi yang begitu pesat membuat pertukaran data dalam komunikasi global sangatlah penting. Agar pertukaran data antar perusahaan dapat berkomunikasi satu dengan lainnya menggunakan perangkat yang memiliki nilai biaya rendah dan kehandalan yang tinggi, maka menerapkan metode routing Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) menggunakan Free Range Routing (FRR). FRR merupakan software yang dibuat dari kolaborasi antara cumulus foundation dan linux foundation yang difungsikan berjalan di layer network dan dapat menjalankan routing protocol BGP. Penelitian ini menggunakan protokol User Datagram Protocol (UDP) untuk memeriksa kualitas jaringan topologi 1 (4 FRR) dan topologi 2 (6 FRR) di berbagai ukuran data, yaitu 10 MB, 20 MB, 30 MB, 40 MB, dan 50 MB dengan menggunakan skenario tanpa failover dan failover. Pengujian topologi 1 dengan skenario tanpa failover menunjukan nilai rata-rata throughput 10,805 Mbps, rata-rata delay 3,441 ms, rata-rata jitter 0,747 ms, rata-rata packet loss 0%, pada skenario failover nilai rata-rata throughput 10,754 Mbps, rata-rata delay 100,039 ms, rata-rata jitter 0,928 ms, rata-rata packet loss 0,349%. Pengujian topologi 2 dengan skenario tanpa failover menunjukan nilai rata-rata throughput 10,797 Mbps, rata-rata delay 124,786 ms, rata-rata jitter 1,132 ms, rata-rata packet loss 0%, pada skenario failover dengan rute failover terbaik menunjukkan nilai rata-rata throughput 10,734 Mbps, rata-rata delay 445,864 ms, rata-rata jitter 1,096 ms, rata-rata packet loss 0,341%. Pada dua topologi pengujian, hasil dari parameter Quality of Service (QoS) menggunakan topologi 1 lebih baik daripada topologi 2. Hasil pengujian dikategorikan performa “sangat baik” pada skenario tanpa failover dan dikategorikan performa “sangat baik” hingga “sedang” pada skenario failover.
The substitution of the prepositional infinitive phrase and the ellipsis of ‘for’ with the noun phrase in the for-to-infinitive construction based on the material of the English-language economic discourse
Authors: Dyakonova Stanislava Arkadyevna
Published: September 2023

The aim of the study is to determine how substitution and ellipsis are used within the syntax of the English-language economic discourse as exemplified by the English-language magazine ‘The Economist’. The scientific novelty of the study lies in identifying the substitution of the prepositional infinitive phrase in the active voice by the passive attributive infinitive and in detecting the ellipsis of the preposition ‘for’ with the noun phrase in the for-to-infinitive construction with the active infinitive expressing passive relations. As a result, the researcher identified possible words in the prepositional infinitive phrase in the active voice replaced by the passive attributive infinitive: ‘for everybody’ / ‘for no matter who’ / ‘for all persons in general’ / ‘for anybody who is going to (wants)’ / ‘for anybody’ + to + the active infinitive. In addition, the explicates for the ellipted ‘for’ with the noun phrase in the for-to-infinitive construction were also identified: ‘for the one/ones in question’, ‘for the one/ones concerned’, ‘for the one/ones involved’. The use of the attributive infinitive expressing passive relations was systematised. The rule for choosing the voice for the post-attributive infinitive expressing passive relations was formulated: the retroactive infinitive is used if the subject performing the action expressed by the infinitive is known; if there is no information about the doer, the passive infinitive is used.
Evaluation in the semantics of the lexemes “life” and “death”
Authors: Lappo Marina Aleksandrovna , Putilina Tatiana Gennadievna
Published: September 2023

The aim of the research is to identify evaluative components in the structure of the lexical meanings of the pair of words “life” – “death”. The work uses a set of methods of linguistic analysis. The scientific novelty of the research lies in analysing evaluative components in the semantic structures of the pair of antonyms “life” – “death”, namely, in describing asymmetry and symmetry in the pragmatic macro-component of the meaning of these words: asymmetry manifests itself in the direction of pragmatic evaluation of the phenomena denoted by the words “life” and “death”, the former is correlated with something very good, goodness, the latter is correlated with something very bad, evil, misfortune; symmetrical linguistic behaviour is manifested in both lexemes in the derived values with the semantics of common evaluation and in the derived values that determine that life and death are the object of regular evaluation. In addition, the paper is the first to demonstrate that a certain ratio of positive and negative semes in the meaning of these lexemes marks the type of discourse (everyday, religious-philosophical, art criticism, artistic). As a result, it has been proved that not only the individual connotations of a word affect the development of its semantic structure, but also the pragmatic components of one lexeme from a pair of antonyms have an impact on the semantic variability of the other. Studying evaluation in the semantics of these units makes it possible to trace the dynamic processes in the semantic structures of the words, as well as common and different features in their linguistic behaviour.
The author’s linguistic personality in the metatextual perspective of autobiographical discourse
Authors: Goryacheva Elena Dmitrievna
Published: September 2023

The aim of the research is to determine the communicative and pragmatic specifics of implementation of a linguistic personality’s linguocreative competence in autobiographical discourse through metatextual inclusions. The scientific novelty of the research lies in considering B. L. Pasternak’s autobiographical discourse as a semiotic-pragmatic phenomenon, which makes it possible to qualify the author’s linguistic personality as not only elitist, but also discursive, focused on a constant dialogue with the reader. This dialogue is capable of turning into polyphony on the basis of the author’s comparison of his current self with his past self, as well as due to the broad inclusion of the author’s evaluation of various cultural facts in the semantic space of autobiographical texts. As a result, it has been found that metatext in B. L. Pasternak’s autobiographical discourse is characterised by a set of functions, among which the text-forming and structure-forming functions, as well as the aesthetic fiction are of prime importance. The author employs various linguistic ways of metatext realisation – such are lexemes and lexical combinations with the meaning of speech, thought, creativity, subjunctive mood forms, parenthetical words and constructions, while metatext itself in B. L. Pasternak’s prose is mainly innective.
Linguoculturological potential of the presuppositional component of lexical units in the modelling of cultural space (based on the material of the German language)
Authors: Oleynik Marina Alexeevna , Gorbatovsky Alexandr Sergeevich
Published: September 2023

The paper examines the linguocultural features of the influence of presupposition on the modelling of the cultural space of a literary text. The analysis of the presuppositional component of linguistic units expressed by various lexico-semantic means contributes to the identification of extralinguistic information in the text. The aim of the research is to determine the linguocultural potential of presupposition in the text based on the analysis of the features of lexical units and their contextual relations reflecting the specifics of culturally relevant elements in Daniel Kehlmann’s novel “Tyll”. The scientific originality of the research lies in applying the theory of presupposition to the linguistic modelling of the cultural space of a literary text. The research findings showed that the presupposition of culture-specific lexical units contextually interacts with other intra- and inter-lexical means and participates in the formation of a model of the cultural space of the text as a hierarchically structured system of culturally contingent meanings. The combination of the denotative, connotative and other types of semantic meaning of lexemes determines the isolation of linguoculturemes in a literary text, which makes it possible to gradually explore the cultural space of the analysed German historical novel.

Introdução: A neoplasia pseudopapilífera sólida pancreática (tumor de Frantz), é uma neoplasia maligna de baixo grau do pâncreas, de apresentação rara, representando menos de 3% de todos os tumores pancreáticos. Relato de Caso: Mulher, 50 anos, admitida em unidade de pronto atendimento com história de plenitude e desconforto em região epigástrica com três meses de evolução. No exame físico, apresentava massa palpável endurecida e dolorosa em topografia de epigástrio e hipocôndrio esquerdo. Exames de imagem apontaram uma grande massa tumoral ocupando boa parte do hipocôndrio esquerdo, deslocando estruturas adjacentes, com provável invasão de artéria e veia esplênica e lesão nodular no baço. Foi submetida a laparotomia, com ressecção do tumor retroperitoneal, pancreatectomia corpocaudal e esplenectomia, com retirada da peça em monobloco. Paciente apresentou boa recuperação e pós-operatório com exames demonstrando o sucesso da escolha terapêutica. Apesar das proporções do tumor no momento do diagnóstico e da sua adesão e compressão em relação às estruturas adjacentes, o seu avanço não implicou em pior prognóstico. Sendo a ressecção cirúrgica deste tipo de tumor o único tratamento curativo e com baixas taxas de recidivas. Conclusão: A neoplasia pseudopapilífera sólida de pâncreas (tumor de Frantz), apesar de rara, deve ser considerada no diagnóstico diferencial de tumores de pâncreas, já que o tratamento cirúrgico apresenta boas chances de cura mesmo em tumores de grandes dimensões.

Online learning media is one of the tools which can support the teaching and learning process. Kahoot, Quizizz, Padlet, and learning Apps are examples of online learning media.  Hence in this study, the researchers wanted to find out about the students' perceptions of online quiz applications or better known as Kahoot. This study employed a descriptive quantitative approach because the researchers described students' perceptions of Kahoot as an online quiz for teaching and learning English in class. Thirty-nine English Department, Lambung Mangkurat University students were selected as the samples in this study from the 2019 Intensive English Class. The instruments used in this study consisted of questionnaires with five answers: strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, and strongly disagree. The questionnaire was made and spread online by using Google Forms. The data was analyzed quantitatively using the implementation of a Likert scale. The findings show that the students' perceptions of Kahoot as an online quiz tool are positive. It can be seen from the score of instruments distributed by the researchers. The score gets 2.192 from 2.730 as the maximum score. The maximum score was gotten from (Q1: number of students, K: maximum score for each question and Q: number of questions) = 39 x 5 = 195 x 14 = 2.730, which means that Kahoot is a good online quiz application for teaching English in Intensive English Class based on students' perceptions. Most of the students agree that the process of teaching and learning via Kahoot as an online quiz tool is interesting, motivating, and fun. They also agree that they feel a positive effect on using its application and try to repeat to play Kahoot.

Authors: Fortinasari Paulina Besty , Karma Carolus Prima Ferri , Winarsih Dwi
Published: September 2023

No one denies that currently teaching becomes more challenging. One of the ways to produce competent and qualified English teacher is by conducting microteaching class. Microteaching class is one of the prerequisites courses before the student teachers take the real teaching practice done in senior or junior high schools. This paper focuses on the self-reflective feedback done by the student teachers in microteaching class and how the student teachers respond to the application of self-reflective feedback in Microteaching Class. The data gathered from online reflection form, online questionnaire and interview showed that self-reflective feedback is helpful for the student teachers in assessing and analyzing their teaching performances. The student teachers also gave positive responses on the use of self-reflective feedback in the Reflective Microteaching Class. In addition, the student teachers need guidance from the lecturer in doing self-reflective feedback and therefore, their understanding and competencies in teaching are more developed.
Anatomical observations on formation and development of adventitious root primordium in canes of Vitis sp.
Authors: GÖKBAYRAK Zeliha , ENGİN Hakan
Published: September 2023

Understanding the anatomical aspects of adventitious root primordium formation can provide valuable insights into the improvement of propagation techniques, rootstock selection, and overall vineyard management practices in Vitis spp. This work was carried out to investigate anatomical root primordium formation in the rooted cuttings of Cabernet Sauvignon (CS, Vitis vinifera L.) and the rootstock Kober 5BB (Vitis berlandieri x V. riparia) with their relationship to stem anatomy. One-node cuttings were grown under temperature-controlled conditions for 8 weeks. After removal of the roots and calli, the stem parts were fixed in a fixative solution. A revised method of safranin staining was applied to the 90 µm thick cross-sections made with a hand microtome. It was observed that root primordia were derived from the two different regions of the cane tissues: from the groups of cells close to the outside of the conductive tissue system and from the cell groups in the deeper site, close to the pith. Cultivars showed significant differences in terms of the regions where they had their root primordial initials. Number of potential root primordia was statistically higher in CS. Both CS and 5BB had root angles in the range of 83° to 86°. It was concluded that grapevine cuttings had only induced root primordia and the capacity to produce them was dependent on the genotype. Formation and development of root primordia and the anatomical differentiation of the cell groups were similar in Cabernet Sauvignon and 5BB.

NPIPB9 is differentially expressed in central nervous system metastasis in human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: September 2023

Metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that nuclear pore complex-interacting protein family member B9, encoded by NPIPB9, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. NPIPB9 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Modulation of NPIPB9 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

Dances, Duets, and Debates: Analysing political communication and viewer engagement on TikTok
Authors: Umansky Natalia , Pipal Christian
Published: September 2023

Launched in 2017, TikTok has rapidly gained global popularity, extending beyond entertainment to become a hub for ideological formation and political activism, revolutionizing the way politicians interact with constituents. Yet, despite extensive research on politicians’ use of social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook, TikTok’s distinct platform-specific languages and features have received limited attention. Its short video clips, algorithmic content recommendations, and mobile-first interface present new challenges and opportunities for politicians aiming to communicate effectively with society. This paper addresses this gap by providing a first examination of the ways in which U.S. politicians embrace and adapt to the TikTok platform. Employing a multimodal approach that studies video, text, and audio, we collect and analyse a novel dataset of TikTok videos created by U.S. Governors and Members of Congress to understand how they use comedic, documentary, communal, explanatory, interactive, and meta communication styles to connect with their audience. Our analyses reveal that U.S. politicians primarily use TikTok as a platform to communicate about political issues, often adopting explanatory and documentary styles to articulate their policies. However, the comedic style significantly boosts engagement, especially for female politicians, who see a fourfold increase in engagement when producing comedic content compared to male counterparts. This presents a challenge for politicians: balancing humor's allure with the seriousness expected from them. Our findings provide valuable insights into digital political communication on emerging platforms like TikTok and the role of multiple message modalities in harnessing online attention and engagement.

Digital Interventions for Public Health: A Systematic Planning Approach
Authors: Bruinsma Jeroen , Crutzen Rik
Published: September 2023

This chapter outlines the Intervention Mapping (IM) approach, a planning framework for systematic development, implementation, and evaluation of health promotion interventions. IM is a comprehensive approach for intervention development in general. This chapter describes the six steps of IM and emphasizes using it for digitally supported interventions within the context of public health specifically. The chapter starts with describing Core Processes, a systematic way of answering planning questions to safeguard the use of available evidence and insights from theory. Subsequently, this chapter zooms in on understanding behavior as this is key during the development of health promoting interventions that aim to establish behavior change. Successively, the steps of IM are discussed separately, and illustrated by examples of interventions that use digital technology in the context of public health. This chapter guides readers through the six IM steps and hopes to inspire them to learn more about IM and behavior change principles, and their use for digital interventions.
Home or Abroad? Mapping Attention to Spatial Dimensions of Environmental Degradation in Parliamentary Speeches
Authors: Presberger David
Published: September 2023

Over the past few decades, the public debate on environmental issues has changed from a discussion primarily focused on local environmental degradation to a discourse in which global environmental issues and those affecting the environment abroad have gained increasing levels of attention. The links between local environmental degradation and global economic dynamics have become increasingly visible. However, in political debates, some parties tend to ignore the international dimension of environmental issues, while others appear to increase their attention to this topic. Who are the parties that focus on the international dimension of environmental degradation and why? Are (traditional) economic left/right positions a meaningful predictor of parties' willingness to focus on international rather than domestic environmental issues? In this study, I map the attention to domestic and international environmental issues in parliamentary speeches and examine the factors that drive it. To this end, I employ a quantitative text analysis of speeches in the British House of Commons and the German Bundestag between 1991 and 2018. My findings indicate that the (traditional) economic left-right alignment does not influence attention to the international dimension of environmental issues, whereas the sociocultural left-right alignment does. Furthermore, the findings indicate that the party system affects the direction of the effects. In the multi-party system of Germany, socioculturally left-leaning parties speak more about international environmental issues, whereas right instead of left-leaning parties do the same in the two-party system of the United Kingdom. The findings imply that future research should take a closer look at the party system and country-specific factors when examining how parties speak about the environment in parliamentary debates.

Chapter 4. Bacterial and archaeal DNA from lake sediments
Authors: Vuillemin Aurèle , Coolen Marco , Kallmeyer Jens , Liebner Susanne , Bertilsson Stefan
Published: September 2023

General microbial patterns of biogeography can be established based on sedimentary DNA (sedDNA) retrieved from diverse inland aquatic ecosystems, provided that certain variable environmental factors are taken into consideration in order to trace the admixture of prokaryotic sedDNA preserved in lacustrine sediments from source to sink. These include several watershed characteristics, such as climate and mineralogy in the catchment and degree of urbanization, which in turn determine the lake regime, productivity and geochemistry of the water body, redox conditions at the sediment-water interface, sedimentation rates and organic matter content over time.Records of environmental conditions through the preservation of prokaryotic sedDNA will partially be obscured by the presence of a subsurface biosphere that remains active during burial. Sediment colonization and selective growth of specific sub-populations of the resident microbiomes are inherent to the substrates available in lacustrine deposits. Microbial guilds reflective of respiration types and organic matter decomposition usually go hand-in-hand with the geochemical gradient that develops in the sedimentary column during early diagenetic processes, but may also prevail in specific stratigraphic intervals. Thus, the correct attribution of prokaryotic sedDNA sources to an environmental context is essential for resolving past and modern ecosystem functioning. Because the succession of microbial taxa pre-adapted to gradual depletion of electron donors and acceptors is relatively well known, sources of sedDNA inherent to resident microbial communities can be discriminated and provide evidence of diagenetic processes during burial. In contrast, ancient sources of sedDNA that persist in microbially active sediments are exposed to a constant turnover, leading to preferential preservation of dormant stages over free sedDNA.Bacteria and archaea are tremendously diverse, and therefore there is the need to rigorously assign their metabolic functions and assess their degree of activity along sediment archives. Beyond taxonomic surveys and geochemical profiling of the subsurface biosphere, novel procedures are being customized to sort, target, sequence and assemble sedDNA fragments of interest to unravel specific biogeochemical interactions in lacustrine ecosystems pertaining past and actual ecological changes at the local and global scale.
Burning neuroscientific questions about etiological models of psychopathy
Authors: Deming Philip
Published: September 2023

Numerous etiological models have been proposed for psychopathy, a disorder that leaves a devastating impact on society. There is a need for developing treatments that target the relevant mechanisms proposed by these models. But first, there is a need to refine the etiological models. Toward this aim, I pose three questions guided by what is known about the architecture of the human brain, and how that architecture shapes function. In question 1, I ask whether the paralimbic hypothesis implicates the whole brain. Given its myelo- and cytoarchitecture, paralimbic cortex sits atop multiple neural hierarchies. This position allows paralimbic cortex to send feedback signals down these hierarchies, shaping sensory signals from the body and world before they arrive. In question 2, I ask what the low fear theory predicts about brain function. Most previous neuroscientific applications of this theory have posited low amygdala activity as the brain basis of psychopathic individuals’ purported fearlessness. I emphasize the need for a new neuroscientific application of the low fear theory, one that accounts for the distributed and context-specific brain activity that creates fear. In question 3, I ask how the brain creates goal states, and I explore implications for two models of psychopathy that assign a prominent role to goal states. Evidence from the field of reinforcement learning shows that the brain adaptively employs a spectrum of behavioral control strategies, ranging from model-free (i.e., habitual) to model-based (i.e., goal-directed). Psychopathic people may have difficulty adaptively implementing primarily model-based strategies.

Both children and adults can use sophisticated pragmatic inferences to acquire word meanings. An intriguing hypothesis is that words actively acquired via pragmatic inference (as opposed to simpler and more direct word-to-world mapping) might be better retained over time. On this hypothesis, to the extent that socio-cognitive skills support pragmatic computation, such socio-cognitive skills should also support inferentially-driven word learning outcomes. In the current study, we compared adults’ immediate attainment and later retention of novel word meanings acquired through either direct mapping or pragmatic inference. We found that pragmatic inference facilitated the retention of novel words compared to direct mapping (Experiment 1). Moreover, better socio-cognitive skills, measured by the Mind-in-the-Eyes task, were associated with better retention specifically for meanings that were inferred but not for meanings acquired through direct mapping (Experiment 1). Furthermore, when social cognition was taxed before word learning, the advantage of pragmatic inference for meaning retention in the same paradigm was diminished (Experiment 2). In conclusion, pragmatic processes supported by social cognition affect both encoding and memory consolidation of novel word meanings.

Anxiety prepares us to deal with unpredictable threats, such as the approaching of an unknown person. Studies have shown our innate tendency to see approaching motion in ambiguous walkers in what was termed facing-the-viewer (FTV) bias. Here we investigated if anxiety states further contributed to this bias, hypothesizing that such states would increase overall FTV biases. Throughout three Experiments, we asked participants to judge the direction of ambiguous point-light walkers and measured their respective FTV biases under safe and anxiety-related conditions induced via imagery (Experiment 1), screaming sounds (Experiment 2), and threat of shock (Experiment 3). Across all experiments, we showed that anxiety does not affect our tendency to perceive an approaching behavior in ambiguous walkers. Based on our findings, and the discrepancies found in the literature, we emphasize the need for future studies to paint a clearer picture on the nature and aspects capable of affecting this bias.
Mediation Analysis in the Two-Group Pretest-Posttest Design: A New Approach Based on Treatment as a Moderator of Time Effects

An intervention, such as a form of therapy or a diet program to lose weight, is perceived as effective by a person if that person experiences a change (in thoughts, emotions, behavior) following the intervention. Scientific and statistical processes evaluate intervention based on differences in change over time between those who do and do not experience the intervention. In this paper, we provide a new approach to mediation analysis in the two-group pretest-posttest designs that coincides with such within-person psychological experience of change. Our method, the treatment as moderator (TAM) approach, focuses on differences between two conditions (i.e., between those who do versus do not receive an intervention of some kind) in the indirect and direct effects of the passage of time on an outcome variable, with the indirect effect operating through change over time on a mediator. We provide an example of the analysis and interpretation using data from a study examining the mediating role of emotional impulsivity on the effect of an online intervention designed to reduce aggression, while describing implementation with the MEMORE macro available for SPSS and SAS as well as in a structural equation modeling framework using the lavaan package in R.
Memory control immediately improves unpleasant emotions associated with autobiographical memories of past immoral actions

The ability to stop unwanted memories from coming to mind is theorised to be essential for maintaining good mental health. People can employ intentional strategies to prevent conscious intrusions of negative memories, and repeated attempts to stop retrieval both reduces the frequency of intrusions and improves subsequent emotions elicited by those memories. However, it is still unknown whether memory control can improve negative emotions immediately, at the time control is attempted. It is also not clear which strategy is most beneficial for emotion regulation; clearing the mind of any thoughts of negative memories via direct suppression, or substituting memory recall with alternative thoughts. Here, we provide novel evidence that memory control immediately regulates negative emotions associated with autobiographical memories of morally wrong actions. Repeated control significantly improved negative emotions over time, regardless of the strategy used to implement control. Thought substitution involving either positive diversionary thinking or counterfactual thinking both induced positive feelings, whereas direct suppression neutralised emotions, regardless of whether memories were positive or negative. These empirical findings have implications for clinical practice as they indicate that memory control strategies could be effective emotion regulation methods for real-world intrusive memories.

Mindfulness-based programmes (MBPs) are increasingly offered in work settings, often in online self-guided format. However, the evidence on MBPs' effect on work performance (WP) is inconsistent.This pragmatic randomised controlled feasibility trial assessed procedural uncertainties, intervention acceptability and, preliminary effect sizes of a MBP on WP, relative to an alternative intervention, to inform a later-stage trial.241 employees from 8 employers were randomised (1:1) to complete a four-week, self-guided, online MBP or a light physical exercise programme (an active control). Feasibility and acceptability measures were of primary interest. For the preliminary assessment of effect sizes, the primary outcome was WP at post-intervention measured using the Work Role Functioning Questionnaire. Secondary outcomes assessed depression, anxiety, stress, and cognitive processes hypothesised to be targeted by the MBP, including decentering and cognitive control. Outcomes were collected at baseline, post-intervention (PostInt), and 12-week follow-up (12wFUP). The trial protocol was pre-registered (NCT04631302).87% of randomised participants started the course. Both courses had high acceptability. Regarding procedural feasibility, retention rates for outcome collection were typical for online trials (64% at PostInt and 30% at 12wFUP). The MBP, compared to the control, offered negligible benefits for WP at PostInt (d = 0.06, 95% CI -0.19 to 0.32) and 12wFUP (d = 0.02, 95% CI -0.30 to 0.26). We observed small effect sizes (ds = -0.09-0.04, 95% CIs -0.15 to 0.17) for the difference between the MBP and the control for mental health and cognitive control secondary outcomes. Both interventions improved mental health outcomes from pre- to post-intervention (ds = -0.40-0.58, 95% CIs -0.32 to 0.18).The trial is feasible and interventions are acceptable, but results provide little support for a later-phase trial comparing an MBP to a light exercise control. To inform future trials of online MBPs, we summarise procedural challenges. Results suggest MBPs are unlikely to improve work performance relative to light physical exercise. Although the MBP improved mental health , other active interventions may be just as efficacious.
