A Prospective Study of Adverse Childhood Experiences and Illicit Drug Use in Adulthood
Authors: Kaufman-Parks Angela M. , Longmore Monica A. , Manning Wendy D. , Giordano Peggy C.
Published: June 2024

Previous research indicates that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) increase the risk for illicit drug use. Yet, much of this research relies on retrospective ACE reports and does not consider the wide array of more proximal life experiences that may impact adults’ substance use. The present research used two waves of data from the longitudinal Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study (TARS) to examine the impact of ACEs reported during adolescence on illicit drug use frequency in adulthood (average age 32) among 930 (403 men and 527 women) respondents. Findings indicated that ACEs had a cumulative effect on adults’ illicit drug use. Each additional ACE increased drug use frequency by 0.087 units (p < 0.05). Biological sex (b = -0.446, p < 0.001), number of biological children (b = -0.155, p < 0.01), anxiety symptoms, (b = 0.071, p < 0.001), adolescent drug use (b = 0.166, p < 0.001), and residing with other substance-using individuals (b = 1.127, p < 0.001) were also significant correlates of illicit drug use in adulthood. Mediation analyses revealed that respondents’ anxiety symptoms and adolescent drug use mediated the total effect of ACEs on adults’ drug use frequency. Based on these results, it is argued that clinicians and others working with those who are at risk for or who are presently using illicit substances should consider how early life adversity influences drug use, both directly and indirectly via proximal risks.

GRAVITY ENERGY STORAGE TECHNOLOGIES: A Review of the Solid Gravity Energy Storage Applications
Authors: Aslan Selda , Tekin Sezai Alper , Emir Recep
Published: June 2024

The use of renewable energy sources is increasing to reduce the carbon footprint. Renewable energy sources provide limited electricity generation and cannot meet the variable energy demand. Large-scale energy storage systems are needed for sustainability. The applicability of energy storage technology depends on many factors such as energy source, site availability, energy density, storage time, storage capacity, system cost, environmental impact, reliability, durability, and system integration capacity. Solid gravity storage technology is seen as a promising new alternative for large-scale energy storage. There are various types of SGES systems classified according to the application method. In this paper, studies on various SGES methods are reviewed. Studies on the applicability factors of SGES systems and their integration into the electricity grid are evaluated. SGES technology has advantages in terms of geographical compatibility, storage volume, security, and energy conversion efficiency. It has been observed that successful results have been obtained in the theoretical studies. However, there is a need for the development of physical simulations and more comprehensive techno-economic analyses.
Experimental Investigation of the Effects of Biodiesel/Methanol Mixtures on Diesel Fuel on Engine Performance and Emission Values in A Diesel Engine.
Authors: Bozkurt Alparslan , Çınar Gürsel
Published: June 2024

In internal combustion engines, operating conditions, engine design and fuel properties are closely related to efficiency. The alternative fuel used in diesel engines is expected to improve performance and emission values. Biodiesel is widely used to improve the fuel properties of alcohol and diesel. In this study, the effects of diesel, diesel-methanol, diesel-biodiesel, diesel-biodiesel-methanol mixtures are examined. Engine performance and exhaust emission tests were carried out on a three-cylinder, four-stroke diesel engine at a constant speed of 1500 rpm and five different loads: no load, 25%, 50%, 75% and 90%. Since constant speed and torque values could not be obtained in the no-load condition (T0) in the studies, the values at T0 were not used in the comparisons. As experimental data, thermal efficiency, CO, HC, CO2, NO emission values, in-cylinder pressure values and heat release rate values were examined. In experimental studies, the effects of adding different amounts of biodiesel and methanol on engine performance and emission values were compared with diesel.

Authors: Sinkala Happy , Özarslan Saliha , Benarous Abdallah
Published: June 2024

In this paper, the fundamental aspects of the effect of excess air ratio (λ) on emissions and engine performance in spark-ignition engines are reviewed. The pollutants examined under both lean and ultra-lean conditions are oxides of nitrogen, unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. There is usually a range of fuel to air ratios beyond which ignition will not take place, hence, among the many techniques, some significant technologies that enable a leaner combustion mode in spark-ignition engines exist, which include modifications in the engine design, operating parameters and improvement of the fuels. In this paper, mainly the most prominent, up to date, and effective technologies such as ignition strategy, injection strategy, fuel blending, pre-chamber addition, are included. In addition to the effect the excess air ratio has on emissions, engine performance and efficiency are reviewed. This is done through the analysis of the Indicated Mean Effect Pressure, Coefficient of Variation, Fuel Consumption and Indicated Thermal Efficiency. The topics discussed relate to the primary categories listed above, but they are not exclusive to them. Finally, a conclusion and recommendations for future work are considered.
An Efficient Way to Find Optimal Crossover Designs Using CVX for Precision Medicine
Authors: Li Yin , Wong Weng Kee , Zhou Hua , Chough Carriere Keumhee
Published: June 2024

Crossover designs play an increasingly important role in precision medicine. We show the search of an optimal crossover design can be formulated as a convex optimization problem and convex optimization tools, such as CVX, can be directly used to search for an optimal crossover design.  We first demonstrate how to transform crossover design problems into convex optimization problems and show CVX can effortlessly find optimal crossover designs that coincide with a few theoretical crossover optimal designs in the literature. The proposed approach is especially useful when it becomes problematic to construct optimal designs analytically for complicated models. We then apply CVX to find crossover designs for models with auto-correlated error structures or when the information matrices may be singular and analytical answers are unavailable. We also construct N-of-1 trials frequently used in precision medicine to estimate treatment effects on the individuals or to estimate average treatment effects, including finding dual-objective optimal crossover designs.
Percepción social del suicidio en los medios de comunicación españoles: un estudio cualitativo
Authors: Olivar-Julián Francisco Javier , Azurmendi Adarraga Ana
Published: June 2024

El número de fallecimientos por suicidio en España en 2020, año de la irrupción de la Covid-19, ha sido el más alto registrado hasta la fecha, muy por encima del número de víctimas mortales por accidentes de tráfico, que han supuesto menos de la mitad que las de suicidios. Con estos datos, parecería razonable que la sociedad estuviera informada sobre este grave problema de salud pública o, cuando menos, que se informara más de los casos de suicidio que de los accidentes de tráfico. Pero esto no es así. El objetivo del artículo es obtener evidencias sobre cómo perciben los ciudadanos la información existente en los medios de comunicación y las redes sociales sobre el suicidio. Para llevar a cabo la investigación se realizó una encuesta a través de la plataforma Google y se preparó un grupo de discusión utilizando la metodología habitual para los grupos focales. Los resultados revelan que, a juicio de las personas encuestadas o entrevistadas, los medios no suelen informar sobre el suicidio y, cuando lo hacen, se abusa habitualmente del morbo y del sensacionalismo, por lo que se debería contar con la ayuda de expertos, formar a los periodistas y considerar la utilización de un enfoque preventivo. También se han detectado diferentes visiones sobre el suicidio en los medios de comunicación por parte de los menores y los mayores de 40 años, siendo los más jóvenes los que más han insistido en la necesidad de una educación para el consumo mediático y para afrontar el tratamiento que se da al suicidio en redes sociales.

Software has become essential in all areas of scientific research, both as a tool for research, a product of research, and a research object in itself. In the quest to make research results reproducible, and pass knowledge to future generations, we must preserve three main pillars: the research articles that describe the results, the data sets used or produced, and the software source code that embodies the logic of the data transformation. Indeed, the preservation of software source code is as essential as preserving research articles and data sets. The main aim of this in-person half-day event, organized by the French Committee for Open Science on November 29th 2023, was to bring together high-level stakeholders from a variety of backgrounds, including researchers, research software engineers, research evaluation bodies, infrastructures, academic open source program offices (OSPOs), and financial backers, to share their experience and views on research software. The workshop featured three panel sessions, in which speakers focused on major dimensions of relevance to software in open science: − Acknowledgment of software as a key pillar for reproducible research; − Recognition and support for the dissemination of software; − Highlighting of the social impact of software.

Introduction: Health risk assessment (HRA) strategies are cornerstone for health systems transformation toward value-based patient-centred care. However, steps for HRA adoption are undefined. This article analyses the process of transference of the Adjusted Morbidity Groups (AMG) algorithm from the Catalan Good Practice to the Marche region (IT) and to Viljandi Hospital (EE), within the JADECARE initiative (2020–2023).
Description: The implementation research approach involved a twelve-month pre-implementation period to assess feasibility and define the local action plans, followed by a sixteen-month implementation phase. During the two periods, a well-defined combination of experience-based co-design and quality improvement methodologies were applied.
Discussion: The evolution of the Catalan HRA strategy (2010–2023) illustrates its potential for health systems transformation, as well as its transferability. The main barriers and facilitators for HRA adoption were identified. The report proposes a set of key steps to facilitate site customized deployment of HRA contributing to define a roadmap to foster large-scale adoption across Europe.
Conclusions: Successful adoption of the AMG algorithm was achieved in the two sites confirming transferability. Marche identified the key requirements for a population-based HRA strategy, whereas Viljandi Hospital proved its potential for clinical use paving the way toward value-based healthcare strategies.

Published: June 2024

Sosyal medya siyasal iletişimin öne çıkan araçları haline geldikçe bu platformların siyasal katılım için nasıl kullanıldığını anlamak önem taşımaktadır. Özellikle siyasi aktörlerin geleneksel yöntemlerle ulaşılması zor olan genç seçmenler üzerinde kamuoyu oluşturabilme ve nihayetinde gençlerin oy verebilme amacına ulaşmasına olanak sağlayacak sosyal medya araçlarından biri de TikTok’tur. TikTok, son dönemde gençlerin kullandıkları en popüler mecra olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Bu bağlamda siyasi aktörlerin seçim kampanyalarında TikTok’u siyasal katılım aracı olarak kullanmaları kaçınılmaz olmuştur. Bu çalışma, siyasi iletişim kampanyalarında adayların siyasal pazarlama çabalarına yönelik TikTok mecrasında nasıl yer aldıklarını belirlemeye yönelik dizayn edilmiştir. Çalışmada 2022 dünya genelinde seçimlerin ön planda olduğu bir yıl olması sebebiyle 30 Ekim Brezilya genel seçimleri ve 25 Eylül İtalya genel seçimlerinde aday olan siyasilerin TikTok kullanımları ele alınmıştır. Amaçlı örneklem yöntemiyle İtalya adaylarından Giorgia Meloni ile Silvio Berlusconi; Brezilya adaylarından ise, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva ile Jair Bolsonaro araştırmaya örneklem olarak seçilmiştir. İçerik analizi yöntemiyle siyasi adayların mesaj sıklıkları, mesaj içerikleri, sıklıkla kullandıkları hashtagler incelenmiştir. Çalışmada, TikTok’un özellikle Z kuşağına ulaşmada güçlü bir mecra olduğu tespit edilerek siyasi aktörlerin TikTok’un doğasına uygun hareket etme çabaları mesaj stratejilerine de yansımış, özellikle mizah odaklı siyasi paylaşımların tercih edildiği belirlenmiştir. Seçim kampanyalarının önemli bir aracı olan mitinglerle ilgili paylaşımların genç seçmenleri siyasal katılıma teşvik etme amaçlı daha çok tercih edildiği tespit edilmiştir. Ancak her ne kadar adaylar TikTok’u siyasi ifade platformu olarak kullansalar da mecranın sunduğu fırsatlardan tam olarak faydalanamadıkları görülmektedir.

Influence of Political Marketing on Voting Decision and Voter Behavior
Authors: Reddy Dr. E. Lokanadha , Naidu Dr.G. Rakesh
Published: June 2024

Political campaigning, a part of every electoral system, employs a range of communication strategies, including political marketing. In India, political marketing takes up a significant amount of campaign money compared to other strategies, and it is divided among multiple political parties. That being said, the attempts to utilize intensive advertising to educate the people and develop favourable action inclinations raise problems about the role of political marketing in India, where caste, creed, religion, and regional issues play a larger part in electoral races. The growing issue arises when advertising costs soar to astronomical proportions, sometimes even surpassing the annual budgets of major FMCG companies. Investigating whether political marketing is appropriate in the Indian context is the goal of this study. In terms of voting behaviour, the study investigates how individuals believe that political marketing affects their decision-making, attitude toward voting, and search and assessment of information.

Authors: Jacobs Carly , Everett Anne , Rimmer Leanne , Foster C-J , Ashby Jo
Published: June 2024

It is crucial that academic institutions offer support to their increasingly diverse student bodies. LGBTQIA+ students often report negative experiences in relation to campus climate and treatment. The aim of this qualitative research was to explore the experiences of LGBTQIA+ students who attend(ed) a collaborative (staff and student), departmentally located (psychology) virtual (synchronous and asynchronous online) Pride group. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with four LGBTQIA+ students who had attended one or more virtual group meetings. Interviews were transcribed and analysed using Braun and Clarke’s (2006; 2019; 2022) reflexive thematic analysis. Four themes were constructed: being and becoming authentic; safe and restorative spaces; community, and connections. Together these four themes relate to an overarching theme of belonging. Although the cohort was small, the emphatic and consistent findings point to the importance of visible representation of LGBTQIA+ academic staff and the need to provide joint Pride group spaces in academic settings.

Authors: Premkumar Preethi , Churchill Tony , Elward Rachael , Alford Arezoo
Published: June 2024

Student-Centred Active Learning Environment with Upside-down Pedagogies (SCALE-UP) is a set of collaborative learning techniques that are shown to reduce the continuation and awarding gaps between students of Black, Asian and other Minority Ethnicities (BAME) and White students when SCALE-UP is implemented throughout every module in an undergraduate course. The aim of this project was to evaluate the impact of SCALE-UP on a level-four Psychology module consisting of 140 students to inform considerations of wider implementation. Although the grades and gaps on this single module did not differ significantly from other modules, written feedback from students indicated that students appreciated the authenticity of interactions afforded by SCALE-UP. Staff recognised the growing confidence of their students when expressing their views in class, peer interactions and group activities. These are indicators of the potential benefits that large-scale implementation of SCALE-UP could contribute to closing or removing continuation and awarding gaps.
How does the curriculum contribute to the experiences of belongingness in higher education?
Authors: Amisi Alende , Bates Elizabeth A. , Wilbraham Susan J.
Published: June 2024

This paper is a critical discussion about how the curriculum contributes to the sense of belonginess within Higher Education (HE), and how the ongoing aim of decolonisation needs to incorporate a more consistent intersectional lens with the curriculum within psychology. Psychology as a discipline has been criticised for its focus on primarily conducting research with people from countries that are Western, Educated, Industrialised, Rich and Democratic (WEIRD; Henrich et al., 2010). This approach has neglected a number of social groups within the wider literature and has indeed marginalised the voices and experiences of many. Through the topic of decolonisation, there has been the discussion of the importance of belonging and belongingness, but the intersectional experiences of various social groups within the curriculum has been neglected. In summary, this discussion reveals that there are several key ways in which curricula and decolonial research can contribute to belonging: 1) communication of what (who) is important; 2) consideration of student learning needs; 3) appreciation of course content that is salient to students; 4) demonstration of alignment with a wider range of philosophical approaches; 5) promotion and celebration of cultural differences which allow students to be themselves; and 6) inclusion of a wide range of factors within teaching that contribute to belonging, for example the importance of place.

A Síndrome de Dravet é uma condição rara caracterizada por convulsões variadas, declínio cognitivo e anormalidades motoras e comportamentais. O tratamento visa reduzir a frequência de convulsões e minimizar a toxicidade dos medicamentos antiepilépticos. A Síndrome de Dravet progride em três fases distintas ao longo do desenvolvimento da criança: fase febril no primeiro ano, fase de agravamento até os 5 anos e fase de estabilização após os 5 anos, caracterizada por uma redução na frequência das crises. O canabidiol (CBD) surge como uma opção terapêutica devido aos seus efeitos anticonvulsivantes. Este estudo objetiva revisar a eficácia do canabidiol no tratamento da Síndrome de Dravet. Os descritores "Dravet Syndrome", "treatment" e "cannabidiol” foram empregados em 3 bases de dados, resultando em 4 artigos elegíveis. A eficácia do CBD na redução das crises epiléticas em pacientes com Síndrome de Dravet foi destacada nos estudos revisados, com reduções significativas na frequência de convulsões, variando entre 45% e 74% para crises convulsivas e de 44% a 84% para crises totais. Apesar dos efeitos colaterais relatados, os resultados indicam o potencial terapêutico do CBD como uma opção eficaz para controlar as convulsões nesses pacientes, embora mais pesquisas sejam necessárias para compreender completamente seus mecanismos de ação e sua eficácia a longo prazo. O estudo evidencia que o CBD é uma promissora opção terapêutica para pacientes com Síndrome de Dravet, proporcionando uma redução significativa na frequência de convulsões e melhorias na qualidade de vida. No entanto, são necessárias pesquisas adicionais, incluindo ensaios clínicos mais amplos e robustos, para compreender completamente os mecanismos de ação, a eficácia a longo prazo e as limitações do tratamento com CBD para essa condição neurológica.

Perturbation Augmentation for Adversarial Training with Diverse Attacks
Authors: Serbes Duygu , Baytaş İnci M.
Published: June 2024

Adversarial Training (AT) aims to alleviate the vulnerability of deep neural networks to adversarial perturbations. However, the AT techniques struggle to maintain the performance on natural samples while improving the deep model’s robustness. The absence of perturbation diversity in generated during the adversarial training degrades the generalizability of the robust models, causing overfitting to particular perturbations and a decrease in natural performance. This study proposes an adversarial training framework that augments adversarial directions from a single-step attack to address the trade-off between robustness and generalization. Inspired by feature scattering adversarial training, the proposed framework computes a principal adversarial direction with a single-step attack that finds a perturbation disrupting the inter-sample relationships in the mini-batch during adversarial training. The principal direction obtained at each iteration is augmented by sampling new adversarial directions within a region spanning 45 degrees from the principal adversarial direction. The proposed adversarial training approach does not require extra backpropagation steps in adversarial direction augmentation. Therefore, generalization of the robust model is improved without posing an additional burden on the feature scattering adversarial training. Experiments on CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, SVHN, Tiny-ImageNet, and The German Traffic Sign Recognition Benchmark consistently improve the accuracy on adversarial with an almost pristine natural performance.

Pediatric and Adolescent Distal Radius Fractures: Current Concepts and Treatment Recommendations
Authors: Liu David S. , Murray Martha M. , Bae Donald S. , May Collin J.
Published: June 2024

Distal radius fractures are the most common skeletal injuries requiring intervention in children. These injuries are classified by fracture pattern, location, displacement, and angulation. While each unique fracture pattern warrants slightly modified treatment plans and follow-up, the goals of treatment remain constant. Successful outcomes depend on restoration of motion and function, and attaining acceptable sagittal and coronal alignment is a necessary first step. For displaced fractures, closed reduction is often necessary to restore alignment; well-molded cast application is important to maintain fracture alignment. Fractures with bayonet apposition, if well aligned, may not need formal reduction in some patients. Special attention should be paid to the physis—not only for physeal-involving fractures but also for all distal radius fractures—given that the proximity to the physis and amount of remaining skeletal growth help guide treatment decisions. Casting technique is essential in optimizing the best chance in maintaining fracture reduction. Surgical intervention may be indicated for a subset of fractures when acceptable alignment is not achieved or is lost at subsequent follow-up. Even among experts in the field, there is little consensus as to the optimal treatment of displaced metaphyseal fractures, illustrating the need for prospective, randomized studies to establish best practices.

Introduction:

Although two-stage exchange has been the standard of care for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in the United States, single-stage exchange is emerging as an option in select patients. The purpose of this study was to compare outcomes of patients undergoing single-stage and two-stage exchange using strict surgical indications.

Methods:

We reviewed a consecutive series of 196 patients with diagnosed PJI undergoing revision total knee and hip arthroplasty from 2017 to 2021. Patients were excluded if they had PJI history, plastic surgery coverage, or extensive bone loss requiring endoprosthesis. We compared the number of patients PJI-free at 1-year follow-up using MusculoSkeletal Infection Society criteria and patients requiring re-revision between the single-stage and two-stage groups.

Results:

In total, 126 patients met inclusion criteria. Of 61 knee patients (48.4%), 22 underwent single-stage (36%) and 39 underwent two-stage (63.9%). Of 65 hip patients (51.6%), 38 underwent single-stage (58.5%) and 27 underwent two-stage (41.5%). At a mean follow-up of 1.95 ± 0.88 years, a higher rate of knee patients were classified as having treatment success in the single-stage group (77.3% versus 69.2%, P = 0.501), however with comparable septic failure rates (18.1% single-stage versus 17.9% two-stage; P = 0.982). At a mean follow-up of 1.81 ± 0.9 years, a higher rate of hip patients were classified as having treatment success in the single-stage group (94.7% versus 81.5%, P = 0.089), and more patients had septic failures in the two-stage group (18.5% versus 5.3%; P = 0.089). No differences were observed in the microorganism profile. More total complications (P = 0.021) and mortalities were found in the single-stage knee cohort than in the two-stage cohort (22.7% versus 2.6%; P = 0.011).

Conclusion:

Single-stage arthroplasty is a viable alternative to standard two-stage exchange in patients with PJI without a history of infection and with no bone or soft-tissue compromise. Additional studies with longer term follow-up are needed to evaluate its efficacy.

Individualized parenteral nutrition guideline: the challenge of trace elements
Authors: Barbosa Claudio de Lima
Published: June 2024

Parenteral nutrition (PN) is one of the pharmacological therapies that makes it possible to save lives previously condemned to death. PN entered clinical practice in the mid-1960s and was one of the most important advances in medicine after the discovery of anesthetics, antibiotics, and antisepsis methods. PN, however, is not without risks, as it is considered a high-alert medication that involves a significant risk of harm when used incorrectly. PN is the most complex existing pharmacological preparation with 20 to 40 active ingredients, the process of its application being transdisciplinary and its safety dependent on individual competence and reliable performance in each of its stages. The correct, individualized, and safe prescription of trace elements represents one of the biggest challenges in this process.
Retrospective analysis of dogs and cats with a mixed form of pulmonary hypertension and suspected pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis in comparison to animals with predomination of precapillary pulmonary hypertension
Authors: Arkadievich Oleynikov
Published: June 2024

Background:
Pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis (PCH) is an idiopathic disease with the anomalous proliferation of a small capillary-like vessel in the pulmonary tissue, which can lead to a severe form of PH. There are only several cases of PCH described in veterinary literature: 27 cases in dogs and 2 cases in cats. In veterinary medicine, PH is mostly recognized as a consequence of left heart failure as a progression of the postcapillary PH to the precapillary form. PCH is mostly described as a primary disease, but resistant postcapillary PH with the high possibility of pulmonary edema raises a speculation that PCH could be a secondary malformation to the left heart disease.
Aim:
Discover the features associated with the shift between left- and right-sided heart disease in the context of PH development
Methods:
Retrospective analysis of materials from cats and dogs with histological markers of PCH (sPCH) versus those with right heart failure (RHF).
Results:
Animals with histological and immunohistochemistry markers of PCH had previous history of disease with the left heart volume overload. There were no differences between the groups in radiography and gross pathology. Histologically, pulmonary fibrosis and arteriopathy could be found in RHF; in sPCH – a duplication of capillaries in alveolar septa and bizarre proliferation in surroundings structures.
Conclusion:
PCH could be a secondary pattern of vascular remodeling due to volume overload
