Exploring the implementation of whole school emotionally based school non-attendance (EBSN) guidance in a secondary school
Authors: Ward Sarah , Kelly Catherine
Published: June 2024

Aim:This research aims to explore the implementation of whole school guidance for Emotionally Based School Non-Attendance (EBSN).

Method/Rationale:School attendance is an area of increasing concern and many local authorities have produced guidance to support schools and others in their practice. How such guidance is implemented is likely to have a key influence on improving outcomes however, available implementation frameworks tend to focus on time-limited, specific universal or group programmes with little guidance on the implementation of more complex multi-component whole school approaches. Action research within a mainstream secondary school in the Northwest of England was used to explore the implementation of EBSN guidance through the following research question: What do school staff perceive as key factors (facilitators and barriers) influencing implementation of EBSN guidance in their school context?

Findings:Key factors identified as influencing implementation in the school context were leadership and compatibility of practice and expectations; staff knowledge, perceptions and attitudes; and resources. These themes require communication, cohesion and consistency, and they sit within the current context and its internal and external systems, including parents and the community.

Limitations:Initial stages of implementation are explored but timescales did not allow for exploration of how implementation of the guidance would be sustained.

Conclusions:Key reflections are explored, and findings are used to further delineate a recently developed framework relating to facilitators and barriers to implementing whole school approaches. Implications for practice and future research are outlined.

Authors: Smart Raechel , Adams Dawn , Simpson Kate
Published: June 2024

Aims:School distress or school refusal is the most common reason autistic children miss school. Qualitative investigation of school distress and school refusal in autistic children is limited in the literature. This study aimed to identify school refusal behaviours in autistic children and explore parent experiences supporting their children.

Method:Fifteen parents of school-aged autistic children completed semi-structured interviews. Directed content analysis was used to identify school refusal behaviours and inductive content analysis to explore impact on family systems.

Findings:Parents reported a range of school refusal behaviours, many of which occurred before school or outside of school settings on days when their child attends school. This may mean many indicators of school refusal are missed by school attendance or behaviour data.

Limitations:All participants were Australian and responded to an advertisement about autism and school refusal so had previously identified school refusal behaviours in their child.

Conclusion:School refusal impacts upon the child, their attendance and their outcomes, but also upon family systems and supports. Implications of these findings for supporting autistic children, schools, and families are discussed.

Published: June 2024

This study focuses on transforming abandoned wood waste into an innovative bio-sourced composite material utilizing date palm waste, specifically using date palm petiole fibers (Pt) as reinforcement and polyvinyl acetate glue (PVA) as the matrix. A range of combinations of these materials was analyzed to evaluate their physical, mechanical, and thermal properties, employing both hand paving and molding processes in the creation of the different composites. Comprehensive experimental tests were conducted to ensure that these composites not only provided excellent thermal insulation but also maintained robust mechanical properties. The results indicated that petioles are particularly well-suited for producing effective insulating materials compared to other parts of the date palm. Notably, the developed composite labeled Pt17 emerged as a standout due to its superior physical, thermal, and mechanical properties. This composite material exhibited remarkably low thermal conductivity, ranging from 0.11 to 0.12 W/(m∙K), and low thermal diffusivity, between 0.109 and 0.096 mm²/s, making it an excellent candidate for thermal insulation applications. Additionally, the Pt17 composite demonstrated ductile fracture behavior, with a flexural modulus (Ef) of 429.30 MPa and a bending strength (σ) of 2.01 MPa. Its low density value (0.3002 g/cm³), further underscores its suitability for use in the building industry, particularly in applications requiring lightweight and efficient thermal insulation materials.

Published: June 2024

A soldagem é um processo que visa a união de duas ou mais peças, de forma que seja assegurada na junta soldada a continuidade das propriedades físicas e químicas necessárias ao seu desempenho. Existem diversos processos de soldagem, dentre eles tem-se a soldagem por arco elétrico com eletrodo revestido. Neste processo, a união entre os metais é obtida aquecendo-os com um arco elétrico estabelecido entre um eletrodo metálico consumível e a peça a ser soldada. Durante o processo de soldagem ocorre alteração microestrutural na região próxima à junta soldada, denominada zona termicamente afetada (ZTA), que corresponde à região que não fundiu durante a soldagem, mas teve sua microestrutura e propriedades alteradas pelo calor induzido durante a execução da soldagem. Compreender as alterações microestruturais e mecânicas que ocorrem na zona de fusão, bem como na ZTA, são parâmetros de grande importância, pois afetam a resistência mecânica da junta soldada. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho é estudar o aço SAE 1020 soldado utilizando o processo de soldagem com eletrodo revestido, empregando eletrodo AWS E6013, e posteriormente submetido ao tratamento térmico de normalização a 900°C por 30, 60 e 120 min. A caracterização do material foi realizada utilizando microscopia óptica e medidas de dureza Vickers. Os principais resultados mostram que existe uma diferença microestrutural considerável entre a região da poça de fusão solidificada e a ZTA, sendo constituídas por grãos colunares e equiaxiais, respectivamente. O tratamento térmico de normalização causou alterações microestruturais significativas nas amostras soldadas, sendo que a microestrutura da poça de fusão solidificada passou a ser formada por grãos equiaxiais e a ZTA passou a ser constituída por grãos formados por ferrita acicular. Foram constatadas também diferenças significativas com relação à dureza das áreas analisadas.

This article provides empirical research about the environmental priorities, drivers, and barriers in the craft beer sector. It is based on a survey of 43 Massachusetts craft breweries. The authors found that the top three environmental drivers for the industry include: being an environmental steward (81%), saving money (67%), and maintaining a good reputation with the community (63%). The most significant challenges preventing craft breweries from adopting pollution prevention and environmental sustainability strategies include: lack of financial resource (74%), limited knowledge about their opportunities (67%), and lack of time (67%). The top three pollution prevention areas of interest to Massachusetts craft breweries include energy efficiency (88% of participants), water efficiency (76%), and using safer chemicals (67%). In addition, over 80% of participants expressed interest in a “Green Brewery” recognition, obtaining information about state and other incentives and grants, and preventing waste through reuse or recycling. Spent grain management, recycling, and waste prevention are the three areas where craft breweries perform best presently. Wastewater reduction and reducing the use of hazardous chemicals are the most challenging areas for them. The re-search also found some differences in the priorities and drivers when comparing nanobreweries (with a production of fewer than 1000 beer barrels (bbl)/year) and larger craft breweries (with a production over 1000 bbl/year). The study findings provide valuable insights for devising effective policies and actions to support the sector’s adoption of pollution prevention.

An architecture for a wireless network that is constantly developing, decentralized, and multi-hop is called a mobile ad hoc network. MANETs are able to function in many different contexts where regular networks are unable. As can be seen from the advantages listed above, these networks are well-suited for a wide variety of applications, some of which include military and commercial use, as well as applications relating to disaster management, rescue operations, and defense. Energy conservation is a standard factor that indicates the overall network lifetime in mobile ad hoc networks that operate on rechargeable or replaceable battery. This is because usage, battery power consumption in relation to transmission range, type of application running on each device, location, and other influences all play a part in determining the overall network lifetime. An earlier study used a method called ant colony optimization, which is a form of swarm intelligence enthused by the activity of foraging ants in colonies. The best possible travel plan was found using this strategy. Current MANETS routing systems face difficulties in load balancing and energy efficiency that must be overcome if optimal path convergence is to be achieved. When deciding on the next hop node, the IoT based AEEBLR method is recommended. The latency, energy consumption, congestion, and connection quality are all taken into account before making a final decision. The likelihood of selecting the next-hop node as the neighbor node is determined using these metrics. It is the following hop's probability that determines which ant agent goes forward and which goes backward. This paves the door for the creation of many paths, from which the most effective might be chosen for transmission. The results of the implementation show that the suggested AEEBLR technique outperforms the existing AESR approach when the number of packets, the number of nodes, and the mobility of nodes are all varied.
Understanding the Fate Views of Ming Dynasty Literati Through A Fortunate Man and Dongtinghong
Authors: Ou Yeye
Published: June 2024

In the Ming Dynasty, two distinct views on fate emerged among literati: predestination theory and changing fate theory. The former adhered to the acceptance of predestined fate, denying subjective agency, believing that fate cannot be altered by individual efforts. The formation of this perspective was closely related to the disillusionment of literati in their careers and the harsh reality brought about by the intense competition in the prosperous commodity economy of the Ming Dynasty. Analyzing this phenomenon is conducive to understanding the contradictions between Ming Dynasty monarchy and the development of the commodity economy, as well as the external manifestations of self-contradictory thoughts and influencing factors. Utilizing the method of literature review, this study primarily interprets the chapter A Fortunate Man and Dongtinghong from Amazing Tales-First Series, presenting new concepts and finding relevant supporting materials based on previous research.

Published: June 2024

As an effective marketing strategy that has been widely used at low cost, live-stream marketing is getting popular across the global world. However, live-streaming marketing is extraordinarily popular in China, and it is difficult to catch on in other regions. This paper examines why live-streaming marketing is so prominent in China through content analysis and comparative research methods. The paper suggests explanations of its prominence from three perspectives: the functional diversity of media, the need for low-cost sales of sellers, and the potential sinking market of consumers in China. We also examine why live streaming marketing is unpopular in other regions from three angles: the discount strategies and habits of consumers in different regions, the difference in logistics system, and the severity of advertising law between China and other countries. This article sheds light on understanding the differences between live-stream marketing in China and abroad and the reasons for the differences.

Authors: Kaothar Abuokraa
Published: June 2024

Electrolyte imbalances can significantly impact anaesthesia management, potentially leading to complications during procedures. Hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, and metabolic acidosis can disrupt crucial physiological processes required for safe anaesthesia, affecting nerve transmission and heart function. Maintaining the proper fluid and electrolyte balance is essential for the body to function normally, emphasizing the importance of monitoring electrolytes during anaesthesia to prevent complications. To investigate the effects of anaesthesia on blood electrolytes, a prospective Cross-sectional design; An observational study was conducted in four hospitals from May to September 2023, involving 50 patients. The study utilized statistical analysis with SPSS, using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to assess electrolyte levels before and after anaesthesia. A significance level of p<0.05 was considered significant in the analysis. The study sample comprised 50 individuals, with 66% females and 34% males, the majority of them were within the 18-60 age range, with the highest proportion in the 20-29 category. Blood tests conducted pre- and post-anaesthesia showed varying distributions: 58% under general anaesthesia, 34% under spinal anaesthesia, and 8% under local anaesthesia. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test results indicated no statistically significant differences in electrolyte means immediately after anaesthesia, suggesting that anaesthesia did not directly impact electrolyte levels. Maintaining correct electrolyte balance is crucial during anaesthesia to ensure normal physiological function and prevent complications that could influence patient outcomes. By recognising the significance of electrolytes, addressing imbalances, and leveraging advancements in research and technology, patient safety and surgical outcomes can be enhanced.

Authors: C. Balay-as Claire Irish , O. Bandoc Maureen Jane
Published: June 2024

Despite the emergence of several studies on online learning in Physical Education (PE) research, little has been mentioned about the assessment of learning outcomes in PE.  This qualitative research aimed to understand the challenges and intervention strategies of PE teachers in assessing learning outcomes in the online modality. Nine elementary PE teachers from the laboratory elementary schools in Baguio City, Philippines participated in a semi-structured interview. The findings revealed that elementary PE teachers were faced with challenges in assessing PE learning online, but made interventions to these challenges. Three themes surfaced to describe the challenges: challenges in viewing students’ output, challenges in trusting, and challenges in monitoring students. The two themes described the interventions as differentiating students’ requirements and collaborating with parents. In assessing the PE learning outcomes online, the participants found it difficult; however, they realized that finding ways to overcome these difficulties is part of what teachers should do. The findings offer valuable insights that can inform and guide PE teachers in effectively assessing students' learning outcomes in the online learning modality.

Introduction: Obesity represents a pandemic represented as a long-term chronic imbalance between calorie intake and energy expenditure, resulting in more than 30% of the world's population (over two billion people) being overweight or obese. Studies show that Tregs regulate inflammatory cells such as macrophages and T lymphocytes by reducing the production of cytokines IL-6, IL-10, etc., and microRNAs can regulate the gene expression of inflammatory cells. Probiotics have been increasingly studied for modulating the gut microbiota. Objective: It was to develop a systematic review to describe the main considerations of the relationship between gut microbiota, probiotics, and obesity, to list the cellular and molecular mechanisms for the activation of regulatory T cells and control of inflammatory processes. Methods: The PRISMA Platform systematic review rules were followed. The search was carried out from March to May 2024 in the Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: A total of 122 articles were found, and 40 articles were evaluated in full and 24 were included and developed in the present systematic review study. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, the overall assessment resulted in 25 studies with a high risk of bias and 22 studies that did not meet GRADE and AMSTAR-2. Most studies showed homogeneity in their results, with X2=78.7%>50%. It was concluded that probiotic therapy proved to be an important strategy associated with a nutritional change to improve the composition of the gut microbiota. In this context, the probiotics L. paracasei shirota, Akkermansia muciniphila, and Lactobacillus reuteri V3401 stand out, which are responsible for reducing inflammatory markers. Modulation of the gut microbiota through physical exercise, type of nutrients, and use of prebiotics, and/or probiotics have a positive effect on reducing inflammatory markers. Some miRNAs have been implicated in the control of body weight gain, glucose homeostasis, insulin resistance, and lipid metabolism, with crosstalk with the gut microbiota. Furthermore, an association was found between B. eggerthi abundance, miR-183-5p expression, and adiponectin levels. Expression of miR-15a-5p was found to be associated with H. parainfluenzae abundance and insulin levels.

The evaluation of groundwater quality is crucial for sustainable agriculture, as it is a primary water source for irrigation. This study discusses the results of examining the groundwater quality and its appropriateness for irrigation in Onikitinbi village, located in the Ogun waterside area of Ogun State, southwestern Nigeria. This was carried out using the irrigation water quality indices (hydrogeochemical and physio-chemical parameters). The indicators considered include the Magnesium Absorption Ratio (MAR), Kelly Ratio (KR), pH, Total Hardness (TH), Total Dissolved Solid, Stiff and Piper’s Diagram, and Kelly’s ratio. The values obtained were MAR (19.25 to 28.85%, mean of 6.95%), Kelly Ratio (0.11 to.016, mean of 0.13), and pH (6.83 to 7.08, mean of 6.95). Total Hardness (98 mg/L to 266 mg/L, mean of 183 mg/L) and Total Dissolved Solid (40 mg/L to 375 mg/L, mean of 207 mg/L). The Ca-HCO3 - and Ca-SO4 2- water types from Stiff diagram and Piper’s diagram shows that the water sample in the Onikitinbi are from freshwater and Industrial or agricultural sources respectively, while the Gibbs diagram suggests that the main factor controlling the water chemistry is the water-rock interaction. The calculated water indices indicate that the groundwater in the study area meets the required standards for agricultural purposes, specifically irrigation.

Six (6) samples were obtained from boreholes and monitoring wells in the vicinity of the Oke-Diya landfill sites in Sagamu, Ogun State. The pH, EC, TDS, Total Hardness, Chloride content, Total Alkalinity, and Nitrate content were examined in both the water samples gathered. The findings were examined and contrasted with the World Health Organization (WHO-2011) and the Nigerian Standard for drinking water quality (NSDWQ-2007). Certain levels of physio-chemical parameters at Oke-Diya dumpsite were discovered to be elevated, especially in EC and TDS, whereas Chloride levels indicated that OD-3 and OD-4 exceeded the established standards (WHO&NSDWQ). The elevated chloride levels found in groundwater samples OD-3 and OD-4 indicate that the contamination is likely originating from sewage sources. The study areas revealed that the pH levels in the ground water samples are slightly acidic in nature. This could be due to dense population and commercial activities in those regions. Total Alkalinity, Dissolved Nitrate, and Total Hardness levels in the water samples comply with NSDWQ and WHO standards except for Total Hardness in OD-4 which is above the permissible limit. The study suggests that poorly designed landfills and hazard waste disposal into water bodies may result in significant groundwater contamination, posing risks to human health and the environment. Hence, it is necessary for both community members and the government to work together to prevent careless waste disposal and to implement effective waste management and monitoring in locations where landfills exist
