Due to the relatively low incidence of Langerhans cell histiocytosis, there is currently no standard treatment protocol. Choosing the appropriate treatment method is a complex task, since treatment tactics can vary from dynamic observation to radical surgery. In this article, we share our experience in treating a 7-year-old child with eosinophilic granuloma of the L5 vertebral body, who underwent open biopsy of the formation with subsequent transpedicular fixation. After transpedicular biopsy of the lesion, followed by transpedicular fixation, the diagnosis of Langerhans cell histiocytosis was verified. The use of the transpedicular fixation method along with an open biopsy of the lesion to verify the diagnosis made it possible to prevent the development of a pathological fracture of the L5 vertebra, achieve complete bone remodeling of the lesion with regression of all patient complaints in the early and late postoperative periods.

Published: August 2024

Poverty is a social problem hindering a country's economic progress. This problem has spread widely and is increasingly complex throughout Indonesia, especially in Java Island, which has the fastest population growth and slow socio-economic development due to ongoing poverty. This research investigates the factors that influence poverty on Java Island in 2022. Using cross-section data from 119 districts/cities in Java Island and multiple linear regression analysis, this research measures poverty through the human development index, open unemployment rate, and minimum wage. The research results show that the open unemployment rate does not significantly affect poverty. In contrast, the human development index and regency/city minimum wages significantly negatively affect poverty. These findings suggest that improving human development in education, health, and decent living conditions is essential. In addition, the government needs to increase efforts in each region to tackle poverty effectively.

Authors: Liu Yaojie , Wang Xu
Published: August 2024

Mobile social activities are among the most popular forms of socialization today, and has become an integral part of people's daily lives. With advances in technology and the rise of affordable virtual reality devices, VR social interaction through avatar creation and support for advanced body tracking capabilities has the potential to lead the next revolution in the digitization of social activities. However, whether in VR or on mobile phones, user politeness and friendliness are always crucial factors influencing the user experience of social applications. While past research has examined online politeness, less attention has been paid to comparing politeness perceptions between social VR and mobile applications. In the meantime, given that the core characteristics of VR socializing is its heightened sense of presence, research by many scholars in the relevant field also indicates that presence often positively correlates with positive emotions. Therefore, this study will explore how people perceive and express verbal and non-verbal politeness behaviors in different social applications (VR chat, Soul app), as well as investigate how the sense of presence provided by the devices influences people's expression of politeness. The study's results identified the polite and impolite behaviors that people had perceived in VR and the mobile App. Lastly, the study also reported that VR applications that offer a heightened sense of presence can better facilitate politeness.

A Mirror for Men? Feminist Activism of #ImitatingGreasyMen in China
Authors: Liu Yaqi
Published: August 2024

With the evolution of social media, video-sharing platforms have emerged as new arenas for feminist activism. This article examines a new form of hashtag activism on Douyin (Chinese version of TikTok), where Chinese female vloggers satirically imitate certain male behaviors that are sexual aggressive to women. The term sexual aggression is used inclusively to indicate a continuum of manifestations of unwanted sexual behaviors that cover all acts of unwanted sexual contact from sexual harassment up to and including rape. Based on Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) of the top 20 most-viewed short videos tagged with #ImitatingGreasyMen, this study identifies two prevalent imitation archetypes: "Mansplainer'' and "Ordinary-But-Confident Men.", emphasizing the importance of social media platforms for women's expression of attitudes toward gender inequality using humorous language and gestures. Women can use social media platforms to mimic certain typical male behaviors through humorous language and actions in order to awaken women and stay tuned in society. The findings demonstrate a growing level of awareness and resistance to male chauvinist and patriarchal norms, suggesting a shift in traditionally male-dominated gender dynamics and the power of digital activism in challenging traditional gender norms and advancing feminist discourse in China's digital landscape.

The US-China BIT: Enhancing Dispute Settlement Mechanism
Authors: Meng Haoqing
Published: August 2024

This article critically examines the inadequacies of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) and the intricacies surrounding the divergent strategies employed by the United States and China in managing investor-state disputes. Given the lack of an explicit dispute resolution mechanism in the envisioned US-China Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT), the paper advocates for a comprehensive strategy for shaping future agreements. It proposes integrating UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules as an alternative to ICSID; the inclusion of ad hoc Arbitration Panels is recommended for tailored resolutions; and the incorporation of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms as pre-arbitration procedures is emphasized. This multifaceted strategy aims to address the deficiencies of a singular arbitration mechanism and foster a more adaptable and effective dispute resolution framework tailored to the specific needs of China and the United States, providing a balanced means of addressing the complexities inherent in investor-state disputes.

The Influence of the Composition of a Company's Capital on Financial Performance
Authors: Zhou Yicen
Published: August 2024

In the aftermath of a pandemic, companies struggle with survival and expansion issues. Companies are increasingly paying attention to their capital structure, which is vital for competitiveness, profitability, and financial stability. This paper looks at how long-term debt ratio (LTDR) and short-term debt ratio (STDR) affect return on equity (ROE) and return on assets (ROA). This paper wants to untangle the complex interactions among the financial profiles of S&P 500 firms covering the years 2010 to 2023. The findings suggest that while STDR adversely influences both, OLS regression shows LTDR's favorable relationship to ROA and ROE. Including firm size and liquidity (LQDT) improves the model's explaining ability. In the post-crisis age, financial stability and performance improvement depend on strategic capital structure decisions. Considering all factors, this article contributes to the ongoing discussion by examining how enhancing capital structures can boost businesses' resilience and performance in the wake of global events.

FPGA-based Sokuban-like fun logic learning program with combinatorial logic blocks
Authors: Wang Xinyuan
Published: August 2024

There are problems such as a high threshold of entry, difficulty understanding the architecture, and boring learning in electronics applications. In order to improve the readability of the structure and learning efficiency, the study proposes a Sokuban-like fun logic learning program based on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with combinational logic blocks displayed by VGA. Based on the logic of Sokuban, the program adds "subject", "predicate" and "object" logic blocks, so that the attributes of each object will change with the different combinations of logic blocks. This allows the properties of each object to change with the different combinations of logic blocks, ultimately realizing the process of achieving the same purpose in different ways. The study visualizes the process of writing code by using a specific code framework to transform syntax and entities into different logic blocks that can be changed in different locations. The design solves the problem of the learning process of logical thinking in electronics which is too abstract leading to difficulty in understanding in a relatively easier and more interesting way and can be used as a new way to represent dynamic changes in circuits. In the future, it will not only assist in learning, but can also be used as another new way to represent the output of circuits similar to schematic diagrams, Verilog and other codes, providing a new way of thinking about electronic design.

Published: August 2024

Este artigo objetiva apresentar um panorama da pesquisa sobre barreiras à inovação em PMEs, considerando o intervalo temporal de 2012 a 2022, como forma de preencher lacunas teórico-acadêmicas e apoiar a definição de ações de incentivo à inovação em larga escala. O método escolhido foi a Revisão Sistemática da Literatura. Adotamos o Protocolo Prisma, definindo e justificando critérios de inclusão e exclusão para 472 trabalhos capturados, a partir da base Scopus. Finalmente, 70 artigos foram selecionados para a leitura e análise integral. Verificou-se um aumento crescente de publicações de 2019 a 2022 e uma predominância de estudos teórico-empíricos desenvolvidos em países europeus. Houve pouca variação em relação às abordagens temáticas, que fundamentam a pesquisa sobre as barreiras à inovação nas últimas décadas. Foram identificados oito tipos de barreiras à inovação (financeiras, recursos humanos, técnicas, marketing, ambientais, políticas e legais, mercado e organizacionais), agrupando-os aos autores e exemplos mais realçados em cada tipo. Constatou-se que a tipologia das barreiras à inovação nas MPEs possui limites tênues, difusos e variáveis em função do contexto geográfico. Os aspectos que definem essas barreiras muitas vezes são coincidentes ou estão inter-relacionados. Dificuldades relacionadas a custos, limitações de recursos físicos, tecnológicos, humanos e financeiros, falta de regulamentos e apoio governamental, acesso à informação e gestão do conhecimento foram mais frequentemente mencionados nos artigos, como sugere uma “nuvem” de palavras e um esquema ilustrativo, apresentados como síntese das análises. Sugestões de pesquisas são apresentadas, como forma de orientar estratégias e políticas para potencializar a inovação em PMEs.

Participants with ≥ 3 previous miscarriages had significantly higher odds of all-cause preterm birth (OR = 8.19, p = 0.050), spontaneous preterm birth (OR = 6.38, p = 0.005), and induced preterm birth (OR = 4.64, p < 0.001) compared to those with 1 previous miscarriage. After adjustment, those with ≥ 3 previous miscarriages had higher odds of all-cause (OR = 4.92, p < 0.001) and spontaneous preterm birth (OR = 5.79, p = 0.005), but not induced preterm birth (OR = 5.63, p = 0.050). Conclusions: Our study results revealed a significant association between a history of previous surgical miscarriages and the probability of preterm births in subsequent pregnancies.  These findings underscore the need for clinical monitoring and interventions for women with a history of surgical miscarriages

Published: August 2024

This paper aims to establish the effect of instructional methods on students’ academic performance at the Catholic University of Ghana. A quantitative (generalized linear model-full factorial analysis) and a case study approach were employed. A total of 1,809 students’ data observations were analyzed. The findings postulate that blended instruction and the interaction between face-to-face and regular students significantly positively affect students’ academic performance. However, the interaction between face-to-face * regular students* science programs and the interaction between regular students* Science programs * Male students adversely affects students’ academic performance.
What impact does teaching in outreach activities have on medical students' own learning and teaching skills? A pilot study
Authors: Haque Enam , Kardasz Andy , Alldridge Louise
Published: August 2024

Widening Participation outreach activities in United Kingdom medical schools aim to build aspirations and support progression to medicine for those from under-represented groups. Medical student ambassadors (SAs) deliver much of the outreach work, but there is a paucity of literature
to show evidence that it benefits their own studies. This quick glance, mixed methods questionnaire study aimed to elicit the perceived benefits for SAs in terms of improving knowledge, skills and attitudes in their course. 14 SAs in two medical schools completed the anonymised online questionnaire.
They reported that the work improved their own learning, with increased knowledge in different subject areas, as well as improved their teaching skills and self-confidence. The authors plan to follow up these findings with a mixed method, multi-centre study to look for objective improvement
in assessments for SAs.
Nurturing belonging in a diverse student group: transition and transitioning innovations in the University of Opportunity
Authors: Hughes Julie , Walton Derek
Published: August 2024

The University of Wolverhampton prides itself on its contribution to the educational and economic outcomes of its region, which has suffered disproportionately from industrial restructuring. Widening participation is at the heart of what we do, and our 21,000 students lead complex lives
in a diverse region. Like many post-92 widening participation institutions we are concerned about access to study and about the retention, progression, achievement, and attainment gaps of our diverse students. We are also aware of the different needs and challenges that our Foundation Year
(FY) students present to us as an institution. This article will consider the University of Wolverhampton's response to this shifting new entrant landscape through exploring two transition initiatives: Graduate Teaching Assistants and Academic Coaches.
Innovative, interactive and individualised (i3) teaching and learning practice in higher and lifelong education

Published: August 2024

This article addresses contemporary approaches to learning and teaching in higher and lifelong education in the era of internationalisation and digitalisation. Drawing from our experience within the context of Psychology of Adult Learning (also known as PAL, our postgraduate
course offered at the University of Glasgow), we developed an innovative, interactive and individualised (i3) practice applicable for lifelong learning. This i3 approach emerged organically within the PAL teaching environment and echoes the work of researchers
calling for more balanced, personal, ethical and creative education (Robinson & Aronica, 2016; 2010; Craft, 2011). In the article we offer some insights into our PAL philosophy and structure, embedded in formal domains of lectures, seminars, workshops, and assessment, as well as less formal
learning support and opportunities, particularly needed in the recent and rapid shift to online practice. Our framework is demonstrated within a semi-flipped classroom approach, and more generally advocates structuring adult learning experiences flexibly and responsively, always underpinned
by ethical, inclusive, and sustainable principles for higher and lifelong education in the era of post-pandemic new normal.
Exploring different perspectives of flipped learning in a work-based context
Authors: Lawton Megan , Blower Zena , Gravestock Phil
Published: August 2024

This paper reflects on the accessibility of flipped learning from the perspective of two people: one with dyslexia and the other who identifies as being on the autistic spectrum. The paper draws on the continuing evaluation of a course on which all students are part-time work-based
learners. The course is designed to showcase how participants might develop their own practice through interaction and practical application. All students are either teaching or supporting learning at a university. The evaluation looks at both teacher and student perspectives on two different
flipped learning environments: online and face-to-face. The online environment offers a design model that allows for individual learning and has been appreciated by all participants; however, the face-to-face environment, focusing on peer-to-peer learning, has raised issues. The paper offers
two different perspectives on peer-to-peer group work within a work-based environment and concludes with recommendations for those involved in the design and delivery of inclusive work-based learning.
Studies on the association between maternal cardiometabolic health and the oral microbiota of mother-child pairs.
Authors:   , Maia Azevedo Maria João
Published: August 2024

A reciprocal interaction has been proposed to exist between cardiometabolic risk factors (CRFs) and the oral microbiota. However, the role of maternal CRFs on the oral microbiota in early life is not well understood. We hypothesized that the cardiometabolic background of the mother might affect the oral microbial composition of the child. Therefore, the main aim of this thesis was to evaluate the role of maternal CRFs on the oral bacteriome and mycobiome of mother-child dyads during pregnancy and early life. In order to achieve our goal, a cohort of women/mother-child pairs was followed from the third trimester of pregnancy, one month after delivery, and 6 months after delivery.
In summary, we can conclude that:
i) The oral bacteriome but not the mycobiome of women in our study population is associated with CRFs (including arterial hypertension). Some of the implicated genera are involved in the nitrate-nitrite-nitric oxide pathway, supporting the current evidence that oral bacteria may be linked to cardiometabolic health. Women with AH, one of the CRFs, presented higher levels of oral inflammation detected via oral proteome and oral health assessments. These were also linked to oral dysbiosis, highlighting a bidirectional relation between host and microbiota.
ii) The oral microbiota (bacteriome and mycobiome) of children was not associated with CRFs up to 6 months after delivery. Specific health, environmental, biological, and behavioral factors were associated with the oral microbiota of children up to 6 months after delivery. These may translate into protective and harmful effects on the microbiota of children, potentially having an impact beyond early life.
iii) There was a concordance in potential opportunistic and pathogenic oral bacteria and oral fungi isolates between mother child-pairs, with a similarity in the genotypes of fungi found in mother and children. Furthermore, the oral bacteriome of mothers and children became increasingly more similar over time. In sum, the mother had a significant impact on the oral microbiota composition of the child in early life.

Previous research has designed textbooks to use to provide support learning in the Merdeka curriculum on atomic structure material, which have been tested for validity and practicality, but have not yet been tested for effectiveness. The purpose of this study was for identification purposes how well textbooks that support student learning in the free curriculum on atomic structure material affect their learning outcomes. This quasi-experimental research is a continuation of research on Plomp's development model. This study was conducted using a pretest posttest nonequivalent control group design. The study involved 71 students in two groups, an experimental class and a control class. The results showed that the experimental class had an average N-gain value of 0.75 in the high category, and the control class had an average N-gain value of 0.65 in the medium category. The calculated t value of 9.43 and t table of 1.99 were found in hypothesis testing with t-test. The data analysis indicated that the textbooks used to teach atomic structure in the free curriculum may have contributed to improved learning outcomes for students.
