How I Feel About My School: Cross-Cultural Invariance for Self-Reported School Well-being among Young Children in Hong Kong, Mainland China and England
Authors: Katus Laura , Fink Elian , Wong Siu Ching , Xu Chengyi , Hughes Claire
Published: September 2023

The importance of early child well-being is widely recognised, but developmentally appropriate self-report measures remain scarce. In response, Allen et al. (2018) developed a new measure “How I Feel About My School” [HIFAMS] with parallel child- and adult-report versions. In Study 1, we assessed the suitability of the HIFAMS across cultural contexts, via online interviews with 1,610 children (Mage = 5.2 years, SD = .59, 47.7% girls) across England, Hong Kong, and Mainland China. Parents completed the HIFAMS and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (Goodman, 1997). Across sites: (a) child and parent responses on the HIFAMS showed configural, metric and scalar invariance, supporting the validity of cross-cultural comparisons; (b) response profiles indicated consistent differences between child and parent ratings; and (c) child and parent HIFAMS total scores showed only modest associations. In Study 2, we examined the comparability of HIFAMS responses gathered in remote interviews by conducting individual school-based in-person interviews with an additional 550 children in Hong Kong. Full measurement invariance across in-person and online assessments confirmed the comparability of responses across testing modality. We discuss these findings in light of recent work emphasising the value of gathering young children’s own views and feelings about school.

Published: September 2023

Despite extensive investment, the development of effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been largely unsuccessful. To improve translation, it is crucial to ensure the quality and reproducibility of foundational evidence generated from laboratory models. Systematic reviews play a key role in providing an unbiased overview of the evidence, assessing rigor and reporting, and identifying factors that influence reproducibility. However, the sheer pace of evidence generation is prohibitive to evidence synthesis and assessment. To address these challenges, we have developed AD-SOLES, an integrated workflow of automated tools that collect, curate, and visualise the totality of evidence from in vivo experiments. AD-SOLES is a publicly accessible interactive dashboard aiming to surface and expose data from in vivo experiments. It summarises the latest evidence, tracks reporting quality and transparency, and allows research users to easily locate evidence relevant to their specific research question.Using automated screening methodologies within AD-SOLES, systematic reviews can begin at an accelerated starting point compared to traditional approaches. Furthermore, through text-mining approaches within the full-text of publications, users can identify research of interest using specific models, outcomes, or interventions without relying on details in the title and/or abstract. By automating the collection, curation, and visualisation of evidence from in vivo experiments, AD-SOLES addresses the challenges posed by the rapid pace of evidence generation. AD-SOLES aims to offer guidance for research improvement, reduce research waste, highlight knowledge gaps, and support informed decision-making for researchers, funders, patients, and the public.

Published: September 2023

Exploration involves actively engaging with the environment to acquire new knowledge. Here, we hypothesize that the cognitive mechanisms underlying exploratory behavior may differ across individuals depending on personal characteristics such as autistic traits. In turn, this variability might impact successful exploration. To investigate this, we collected self- and other-reports of autistic traits from university students, and tested them in an exploration task in which participants could learn the hiding patterns of multiple characters. Participants could freely change what character to engage with at any moment, providing information on what they explored and when. We quantified participants’ prediction errors and learning progress (i.e., the decrease in prediction error) with a hierarchical reinforcement learning model. We found that participants with lower scores on insistence-on-sameness and general autistic traits were less persistent, primarily relying on learning progress during the initial stages of exploration. Conversely, participants with higher scores were more persistent and relied on learning progress in later phases of exploration, resulting in better performance in the task. This research advances our understanding of the interplay between autistic traits and exploration strategies, emphasizing the importance of individual traits in learning processes and highlighting the need for personalized learning approaches.

Published: September 2023

The generation and distribution of hyper-partisan content on social media has gained millions of exposure across platforms, often allowing malevolent actors to influence and disrupt democracies. The spread of this content is facilitated by real users’ engaging with it on platforms. The current study tests the efficacy of an ‘inoculation’ intervention via six online survey-based experiments in the UK and US. Experiments 1–3 (total N = 3276) found that the inoculation significantly reduced self-reported engagement with polarising stimuli. However, Experiments 4–6 (total N = 1878) found no effects on participants’ self-produced written text discussing the topic. The implications of these findings are discussed in the context of the literature on polarisation and previous interventions to reduce engagement with disinformation.

The relevance of the subject under study is to increase the yield of dry biomass of giant miscanthus plants by using fungi and bacteria in its cultivation technology. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of mycorrhization of the root system of this crop by fungi and symbiosis with bacteria on the growth and development of plants and the formation of their productivity. Field studies were conducted at the Veselopodilska Experimental Breeding Station of the Institute of Bioenergy Crops and Sugar Beet of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine (Poltava region) during 2017-2019 on saline and slightly saline black soil. The significance of the deviation between the experimental variants was determined by the P-level calculated according to the Student’s test. The use of symbiosis of fungi and bacteria with the root system of giant miscanthus contributed to positive results in improving plant growth, development and dry biomass yield. The use of biological products Mycofriend, Mikovital, and Florobacillin (fungi Glomus VS. and Trichoderma harzianum Rifa, Tuber melanosporum Vittad and bacteria Bacillus subtilis Cohn) significantly increased the area of the leaf apparatus (by 6.9-19.0%), the weight of the root system (by 4.1-16.3%), increased plant height (by 3.7-13.6%), and the number of stems (by 5.7-15.1%) compared to the control. At the same time, there was an improvement in the soil’s moisture-holding capacity by 10.3-23.7% and its structural and aggregate state – the proportion of clods 0.25-10.0 mm in size was 3.2-5.7% higher than in the control. The use of mycorrhizal fungi and nitrogen-fixing bacteria contributes to an increase in the yield of dry plant biomass by 1.82-6.11 t/ha compared to the control, which is of practical importance in increasing the raw materials for biofuel production

Researchers want to get a more real and definite picture of who is behind the power in the process of preparing the Regional Government budget. how their life and behavior; how they think and make decisions; as well as other people around them. All of these aspects may very well influence the behavior of the executive and legislature in the practice of decision-making in the process of drafting the Regional Government budget that has been running so far. Based on the problems above, the goal to be achieved is "understanding the behavior of the executive and legislature in the process of preparing the Government budget" and the importance of understanding symbols when someone uses Symbolic Interaction theory. Symbols are social objects in an interaction. It is used as representation and communication which is determined by the people who use it. These people give meaning, create and change the object in the interaction. These social symbols can be in the form of physical objects (objects that are visible to the eye), words (which are used to represent physical objects, feelings, ideas, etc.), and actions (whatever people do). often gives meaning to communicate with others).

Advances In the Study of Hypoxia Inducible Factors and Prognosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Development
Authors: Si Weichen
Published: September 2023

Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF) plays a major role in the regulation of hypoxia. It occurs not only under normal physiological conditions but also under pathological conditions such as some inflammatory reactions and tumor diseases. Studies have shown that the mechanisms of hepatocarcinogenesis include cellular molecules signaling pathways and gene levels in which Hypoxia-inducible factors play an important role. At present, surgical resection liver transplantation and chemotherapy are still the main treatment methods in the clinical treatment of patients with liver cancer but conventional chemotherapy drugs have toxic side effects on human body and the prognosis is poor. HIF is not only involved in reducing the efficacy of radiotherapy chemotherapy and targeted therapy but also closely related to angiogenesis and immune escape. In this article, we will focus on the Hypoxia-inducible factors of liver cancer and discuss its relationship with the development and prognosis of liver cancer and provide new ideas for the precise treatment of malignant liver tumors.
Does the Schema of top Peer Pressure and its Relationship with Achievement Change from Junior High School to University?
Authors: Khodadady Ebrahim
Published: September 2023

Background: The schema of top peer pressure (TPP) consists of nine hierarchical cognitive taxa measured by the Top Peer Pressure Scale (TPPS): domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species and word. The TPPS taken by undergraduate university students’ (UUSs) has shown that their TPP consists of eight taxa among which four, i.e., domain, kingdom, class, and family associate negatively with their university achievement. Objective: To find out what taxa constitute the TPP of junior high school students (JHSSs) and which taxa associate with the JHSSs’ English and school achievement. Methodology: The TPPS was administered to 304 male HSSs. Following the designers of the TPPS, JHSSs’ responses were subjected to Principal Axis Factoring and Varimax with Kaiser Normalization to extract and rotate the factors underlying the TPPS. The factors represented cognitive taxa other than the domain, species and word empirically. Results: Six rotated factors were extracted from JHSSs’ responses on the TPPS representing their cognitive taxa of kingdom, phylum, class, order, family and genus. Among these taxa the kingdom associated significantly with both English language and school achievement. The taxon of family associated significantly only with the English language achievement. Conclusion: The schema of TPP helps JHSSs achieve not only in English language but also in other courses offered in school at its kingdom taxon. UUSs pathologically manipulate the items comprising the schema not only at its kingdom taxon but also at the taxa of phylum, class and order to justify their low university achievement.

Authors: Gundom Thidaporn , Amnuaikit Thanaporn , Panichayupakaranant Pharkphoom
Published: September 2023

Objective: A phenylbutenoid extract (PE) was obtained from Zingiber cassumunar rhizomes. Phenylbutenoids; namely DMPBD, compound D, and compound D acetate, have been identified as major anti-inflammatory and analgesic constituents. This present study aimed to formulate a gel containing PE that could be used as an alternative ultrasound gel for acute or chronic inflammatory treatment. Material and Methods: Gel formulations containing 0.5, 1, and 2% w/w PE were prepared using Carbopol 934 and hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC 4,000) as gelling agents. The contents of phenylbutenoids were quantified by a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). PE gels were studied on physicochemical properties and accelerated stability tests. The PE gels, F2 and F5, were used to evaluate the release of phenylbutenoids using a modified Franz diffusion cell. In the skin permeation study, the 2% PE gels were applied either with or without a 0.8 W/cm2 intensity ultrasound for 2, 5, and 10 min. Results: Based on physicochemical properties and accelerated stability tests, F2 and F5 formulations showed good stability. The release kinetics of 0.5% and 1% and 2% w/w PE of both formulations were best fit to Higuchi’s model and zero-order model, respectively. In the skin permeation study, PE gel combined with ultrasound application for 2 min exhibited higher phenylbutenoids in the skin and also a shorter lag time than PE gel application alone. Conclusion: The gel containing 2% w/w phenylbutenoid extract was suggested as an alternative ultrasound gel containing an anti-inflammatory agent for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders in phonophoresis.
Quality indicators of antifreeze and their correlation with electrical conductivity during the intercity buses operation
Authors: Nahliuk Mykhailo , Pavlenko Viacheslav , Kuzhel Volodymyr , Chernenko Pavlo
Published: September 2023

The article deals with the issues of rational use of petroleum products, special liquids and antifreezes, which become especially relevant in the context of continuously changing prices for them. Short service life of antifreeze leads to its unreasonable overspending, long - to a decrease in operational reliability and durability of parts of the engine cooling system. The best solution in this situation is to carry out periodic monitoring, which will allow you to predict the life of the antifreeze in the engine, referring to its actual state.

The purpose of the work: to establish a correlation between standard indicators of antifreeze quality and electrical conductivity, in order to use the latter as an express indicator of the quality of a bus coolant.

The topic of the work is revealed by studying the issue of periodic monitoring of working antifreezes, which in most cases is not carried out, losing sight of the fact that antifreeze contacts simultaneously with many surfaces of engine parts made of various materials and alloys. In working condition, the antifreeze in the cooling system ensures the nominal thermal regime of the engine. Thanks to this, the technical resource of the engine, incorporated in its design during design and manufacture, is rationally used. With the appearance of certain malfunctions in the engine, antifreeze can lose its performance within a very short period of time and become one of the causes of failure.

Ultimately, the paper considers the replacement periods for bus antifreezes recommended by manufacturers, which are not always justified due to the use of engines of various models and modifications operating under different operating conditions. Experimental studies of the quality indicators of spent antifreezes of buses were carried out and the coefficients of their correlation with the value of the electrical conductivity index were calculated.

Published: September 2023

The article examines the problems of the operation of the enterprise's logistics system, which are relevant and require immediate resolution by optimizing logistics costs and improving the operation of this system as a whole. The connection between the optimization of logistics costs and the strengthening of the company's competitive advantages due to the successful selection of contractors, optimal product distribution channels, modeling of logistics systems and chains, and the creation of conditions for resource conservation is substantiated. The quality of logistics processes is reflected in the effective indicators of the transport company's activity, as costs aimed at the use of labor, means and labor items are minimized.

The logistics system of a modern company is increasingly becoming the subject of scientific research and development as a key form of automation, integration, optimization and management of material resources and information flows circulating in business units. The issue of optimization of logistics costs of production enterprises is characterized by incompleteness and requires further scientific research.

The quality of logistics processes is reflected in the effective indicators of the enterprise's activity due to the minimization of costs for the use of labor, funds and labor items. The main types of logistics costs were analyzed in the article.  And also the need to determine the presence of hidden types of logistics costs was noted. It was outlined that the complexity of determining logistics costs is caused by the influence of internal and external environmental factors. Changes in the structure of logistics costs were analyzed based on the data of the investigated enterprise. The impact of labor costs on logistics workers of the selected enterprise was considered and the dynamics of costs associated with the provision of logistics services on the total amount of logistics costs was analyzed. It was determined that the relationship between the total logistics costs and the set of their factor characteristics is a close direct one. Correlation-regression analysis to identify influencing factors on the behavior of logistics costs of the analyzed enterprise was performed.

It was substantiated that the definition of factors and their influence on logistics costs make it possible to influence the costs of the enterprise and ensure the attractiveness of the product for consumers. The influence of logistics levers on the profitability of the enterprise was schematically displayed. The indicators of logistics cost management assessment, which provide an opportunity to form a qualitative description of the state of the enterprise's logistics system, were given in the article.

Published: September 2023

This study aimed to systematically review studies conducted on the application of sonoelastography (SE) to evaluate lumbopelvic muscle stiffness in patients with low back pain (LBP). All relevant articles were retrieved from the available electronic databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, EMBASE, Cochrane library, and CINAHL, using the keywords â€œSonoelastographyâ€, â€œElasticity Imaging Techniqueâ€, â€œMuscle Stiffnessâ€, â€œModulus Elasticityâ€, â€œLow Back Painâ€. After initial searches, studies that met the inclusion criteria (i.e., published in English and sonoelastography were used to assess lumbopelvic muscle stiffness in both patients with LBP and healthy individuals) were enrolled. Also, any animal research, abstract of the seminar and/or conference, and/or non-English-language article were excluded. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale. In total, eight relevant studies were selected for review. Three studies were considered to have excellent quality, and five were considered fair quality using the PEDro scale. All reviewed studies have reported that SE can be considered a non-invasive method for quantifying changes in lumbopelvic muscle stiffness. Muscle stiffness was significantly higher in LBP patients compared to healthy persons, as well as across subgroups of LBP patients in various test postures (PË‚0.05). Only one study was conducted on the reliability of SE in healthy individuals, while another examined the validity of SE imaging. The results of the present systematic review indicated that SE imaging is a reliable and valid tool to identify muscle changes that occur in patients with LBP and evaluate the effects of rehabilitation treatment.

Cardiovascular diseases are a major cause of death worldwide, and coronary heart disease (CHD) is a prevalent cardiovascular condition and a significant health burden for the population. In this disease, insufficient blood flow to the heart due to plaque accumulation in the coronary arteries causes chest pain, heart attack, and even death. So, it is vital to identify risk factors, prevention, appropriate treatment, and rehabilitation. Nurses play an indispensable role in managing and caring for patients with CHD. Indeed, they possess a deep understanding of the disease and its complexities, enabling them to provide comprehensive care to patients. Nurses monitor vital signs, administer medications, and perform diagnostic tests, ensuring patients receive timely and appropriate interventions. They also educate patients and their families about CHD, emphasizing lifestyle modifications, medication adherence, and self-care practices. Moreover, nurses offer emotional support, guiding patients through the physical and psychological challenges associated with CHD. Their expertise, compassion, and dedication significantly improve patient outcomes and overall quality of life. Nurses are responsible for assessing, diagnosing, and counseling patients on how to manage their disease, making them the front line of defense in preventing and addressing this serious condition. In the current study, we reviewed the literature to consider the best practices and emerging trends in nursing interventions and care strategies for patients with CHD.
Siedem sztuk wyzwolonych w "Etymologiach" Izydora z Sewilli
Authors: Krynicka Tatiana , Wilczyński Adam
Published: September 2023

Kanon siedmiu nauk wyzwolonych należy do szczytowych osiągnięć antycznej kultury. Starożytni myśliciele postrzegali je jako nauki godne człowieka wolnego, uprawiane w wolnym czasie, bez zaangażowania wysiłku fizycznego oraz nie w celu otrzymania korzyści materialnej. Dla autorów chrześcijańskich to nauki prowadzące do poznania prawdy, która wyzwala; Kasjodor podkreśla, że są one przekazywane w książkach oraz stwierdza, że mają  fundamentalne znaczenie dla rozwoju człowieka. Izydor z Sewilli również wprowadza swego czytelnika w świat wiedzy o Stwórcy i stworzeniu przez bramy siedmiu nauk wyzwolonych, którym poświęca pierwsze trzy księgi Etymologii. Centralne miejsce w jego wykładzie zajmuje gramatyka (ks. 1); studium nauk literackich (ks. 1-2) jest bardziej szczegółowe niż prezentacja dyscyplin matematycznych (ks. 3). Wykład materiału, zaczerpniętego z pism poprzedników, jest przemyślany, usystematyzowany, poniekąd oryginalny (ks. 1); choć w niektórych partiach (zwłaszcza tych poświęconych gramatyce) niekiedy chaotyczny i niespójny. Podsumowanie roli poszczególnych nauk wyzwolonych dokonane zostaje w końcowym rozdziale ks. 4, traktującej o medycynie.

On passive verbs with the marker -ra / -rye in Tundra Nenets
Authors: Stenin Ivan
Published: September 2023

The article deals with the verbs formed with the unproductive marker -ra / -rye in Tundra Nenets. Such verbs are intransitive, perfective, and are inflected, as a rule, in the forms of the reflexive conjugation. Morphosyntactically, the function of this marker in combination with transitive verbs can be considered passive. The addition of the marker is also possible for some intransitive verbs and nominal stems. Denominal verbs show a double manifestation of “passive” morphology and allow to promote into the subject position a participant that is absent in the argument structure. Semantically, the majority of passive derivatives are united by their use mainly in adversative contexts. The emergence of adversative usage may be related to the presence of causative-passive syncretism and P-lability.

Introdução: Os médicos de família assumem um papel fulcral na identificação e gestão das necessidades de medicina física e de reabilitação. Uma vez que não existe um registo centralizado de informação não é possível conhecer com rigor o universo dos utentes utilizadores. Objetivos: Caracterizar a prescrição de medicina física e de reabilitação em quatro unidades de saúde familiar da Administração Regional de Saúde do Norte, no ano de 2019. Método: Foi realizado um estudo observacional, analítico e retrospetivo numa amostra aleatória de 400 prescrições de primeira consulta de medicina física e de reabilitação, pertencentes a quatro unidades de saúde familiar, no ano de 2019. Resultados: Das prescrições analisadas mais de metade era de indivíduos do sexo feminino, que tinham em média 58 anos, um nível de escolaridade igual ou inferior ao primeiro ciclo do ensino básico e uma situação profissional não ativa. A maioria das prescrições estava relacionada com patologia do sistema músculo-esquelético (71%), seguindo-se causas gerais e inespecíficas (17%) e o sistema nervoso (5%). De entre os motivos músculo-esqueléticos, 43% relacionaram-se com patologia degenerativa, 21% com patologia inflamatória e 8% com patologia traumática. Dos pedidos analisados, 61% não foram seguidos de requisições subsequentes. Conclusões: Com este estudo foi possível definir as características de uma população de utentes utilizadores dos cuidados da medicina física e de reabilitação em quatro unidades de saúde familiar. Verificou-se que a patologia do foro músculo-esquelético foi a que mais frequentemente motivou tratamento. A maior parte da amostra estudada tinha um baixo grau de escolaridade e encontrava-se reformada/desempregada, apesar da idade ativa. Mais de metade das primeiras prescrições não foi renovada. Este estudo pode ser um ponto de partida para mais investigação e uma melhoria da qualidade dos serviços prestados neste âmbito.

Introdução: O vínculo profissional-paciente baseia-se na comunicação que respeita aspectos verbais e subjetivos. Entretanto, o conjunto de formas gestuais, conhecido como Língua Brasileira de Sinais (LIBRAS), não é compreendido por grande parte dos profissionais da área da saúde, comprometendo a qualidade e satisfação do atendimento ao paciente surdo. Objetivo: Avaliar o atendimento e a capacidade comunicacional de médicos e enfermeiros a pacientes surdos na atenção primária à saúde (APS) numa cidade de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Método: Estudo transversal quantitativo, de campo, observacional e descritivo, com uma amostra de 69 médicos e enfermeiros atuantes na APS num município no sul de Minas Gerais, Brasil. O questionário foi adaptado para a visão dos profissionais de saúde. Resultados: Observou-se que 86,9% (n=60) dos profissionais possuem «Nada/Quase nada»” de domínio da LIBRAS, impossibilitando a compreensão da queixa do paciente surdo, observada em 43,5% (n=30) dos entrevistados. Assim, em consequência dessa dificuldade comunicacional, a procura por profissionais da saúde por parte dos surdos não é significativa, uma vez que 33,3% (n=23) dos profissionais nunca ou raramente os atendeu. Conclusão: Conclui-se que a comunicação é a principal barreira na interação profissional-paciente surdo, dificultando a criação de vínculo, informação de diagnóstico e adesão ao tratamento.
