Published: January 2025

The implementation of modern technologies has transformed connectivity, information-sharing, and education, significantly influencing students' academic journeys. New technologies offer advantages and disadvantages, particularly impacting young students and leading to changes in habits and behaviors. While technology can improve learning efficiency through personalized approaches, excessive screen time can negatively affect communication and academic performance. Studies recommend limited screen time for children to mitigate adverse effects. Research highlights the benefits and risks of digital technology usage, emphasizing the influence on brain development and cognitive functions in younger users. Despite the positive aspects of technology, parental control is essential to safeguard children's well-being and academic performance. Integrating technology in education requires careful consideration to balance its benefits and potential risks, emphasizing the need for monitoring and regulation to optimize its impact on young minds and students.

Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Adolescent non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a pressing public health concern, with families playing a pivotal role in its management. Despite this, specific, evidence-based, and accessible family-based blended psychological interventions remain scarce.

OBJECTIVE

To develop a family-based blended psychological intervention specifically for NSSI in adolescents and evaluate its feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness.

METHODS

A quasi-experimental trial was conducted with 60 adolescents with NSSI and their primary caregivers recruited from a mental health center in Wuhan, China. Participants were assigned to either the intervention or control group based on their admission sequence. The intervention group received a family-based blended psychological intervention, integrating both internet-based and face-to-face components over six weeks, while the control group received routine care. Feasibility measures included recruitment and retention rates, intervention adherence, and acceptability. Primary outcomes included NSSI behavior, and secondary outcomes assessed emotional regulation difficulties, family function, depression, and anxiety. Data were collected at baseline and post-intervention.

RESULTS

Among 48 valid participants (intervention: 23, control: 25), recruitment and retention rates were 92.3% and 80.0%, respectively. Compliance rates for offline interventions were 65.2% (adolescents) and 78.3% (caregivers), while online compliance was 87.0% and 69.6%, respectively. Acceptability ratings were 82.6% (adolescents) and 87.0% (caregivers). The intervention group showed significant improvements in NSSI behaviors, emotional regulation, depression, anxiety, and caregiver anxiety (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS

The family-based blended psychological intervention is feasible, acceptable, and demonstrates preliminary effectiveness, providing a basis for further optimization of clinical interventions for adolescent NSSI behaviors.

Real-life home monitoring of malnutrition with digital and biological markers: A systematic review (Preprint)
Authors: Derouiche Abderrahim , Brulin Damien , Campo Eric , Steinmeyer Zara , Piau Antoine
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Malnutrition is a critical health issue in older people, leading to muscle loss, weakness, and increased mortality. Traditional monitoring methods often lack precision and practicality. These methods include dietary assessment, clinical and biochemical tests, functional assessments, and scores such as the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA). However, they are not suited for early detection and continuous monitoring in this vulnerable population, prompting the search for advanced solutions effectively managing and preventing malnutrition.

OBJECTIVE

This systematic review explores the current landscape of digital technologies and ‘conventional’ biomarkers for home monitoring of malnutrition in an older population.

METHODS

Following PRISMA guidelines, an extensive search on articles published between 2010 and 2023 was carried out using databases such as Medline, EMBASE, EBSCO and Google Scholar.

RESULTS

Thirty relevant studies were identified. They were divided into two categories: "digital biomarkers", which include motion sensors, cameras, and wearable devices, and "conventional biomarkers" such as blood and urine indicators. These technologies were sorted by key markers; feasibility, efficacy, strengths, and weaknesses. Digital biomarkers provide real-time data on eating habits and physical activity, while conventional biomarkers offer direct measures of nutritional status. However, despite their promising potential, digital biomarkers face challenges such as privacy concerns, user compliance, and difficulty adapting to home environments variability.

CONCLUSIONS

This review highlights the need for further research with increased sample sizes and interdisciplinary collaboration for better integration and effectiveness of these technologies in clinical practice. Moreover, these results highlight the potential benefits of combining the two types of biomarkers for a more comprehensive and accurate assessment of nutritional status.

INSIGHTS INTO THE MOLECULAR AND BIOCHEMICAL ROLE OF QUINIC ACID IN ALLEVIATING ETHANOL-INDUCED LIVER TOXICITY IN A RAT MODEL: EXPLORING OXIDATIVE STRESS, INFLAMMATION, AND APOPTOSIS SIGNALING PATHWAYS
Authors: GURUSAMY MUTHUKARUPPIAH  , NADANAM SARAVANAN
Published: January 2025

Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the effects of quinic acid, a natural bioactive compound, on tissue and circulatory antioxidant status, lipid peroxidation, and its anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory mechanisms in ethanol-induced hepatotoxicity in rats.
Methods: The rats were divided into four groups. Groups 1 and 4 were administered isocaloric glucose. Groups 2 and 3 received 30% ethanol at a dose of 5 g/kg body weight daily. In addition, Groups 3 and 4 were treated with quinic acid (50 mg/kg body weight) dissolved in 2% dimethyl sulfoxide.
Results: The results demonstrated significantly elevated levels of tissue thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), conjugated dienes (CD), and lipid hydroperoxides (LOOH), along with significantly reduced enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant activities, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione-related enzymes such as glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), and glutathione-S-transferase (GST), as well as reduced levels of glutathione (GSH), Vitamin C, and Vitamin E in ethanol-treated rats compared to the control group. Administration of quinic acid to rats with ethanol-induced liver injury significantly reduced the levels of TBARS, LOOH, and CD while markedly increasing the activity of SOD, CAT, GPx, GR, GST, and levels of GSH, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E in liver tissues compared to untreated ethanol-exposed rats. In addition, ethanol-treated rats showed increased mast cell accumulation, which was reduced by quinic acid treatment, along with elevated expressions of inflammatory and apoptotic markers, including Bax, Caspase-9, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, Nuclear factor kappa B, and interleukin-6, and a decreased expression of Bcl2 in the liver. Quinic acid supplementation in ethanol-fed rats reversed these ethanol-induced changes. Immunohistochemical studies further supported these findings.
Conclusion: Quinic acid, with its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties, may offer a therapeutic option for protecting against ethanol-induced hepatotoxicity

Published: January 2025

Objectives: The study aimed to describe the pharmacoepidemiological properties of high and low dexamethasone doses on patients from COVID-19 in Hodeidah, Yemen.
Methodology: A randomized clinical trial included 192/323 patients with COVID-19 (28/49 cases in the first wave 2020 and 164/274 cases in the second wave 2021), aged from 3 to 80 years old, confirmed by real time-polymerase chain reaction. All patients were admitted in the isolation department, Center of Tropical Medicine and Infectious Diseases, AL Thawara Public Hospital Authority, Hodeidah, Yemen. 28 patients received high dose of dexamethasone (20–10 mg daily for 10 days) with standard care in the first wave and 164 patients received low dose of dexamethasone (6–8 mg daily for 10 days) in the second wave with standard care.
Results: The results showed non-significant differences between the impact of dexamethasone in both waves with different doses of dexamethasone (X2: 1.70; p=0.91). On the other mean, the case fatality rate (CFR) in the first wave with high dose was 10.71% and CFR of the second wave with low dose was 22.29%. While the results showed significant differences between high dose and low dose group with mechanical ventilator “mechanical ventilation (MV)” (X2: 7.10; p=0.0076), the CFR of patients with MV and high dose was 37% and CFR of the second wave with low dose was 77% In addition, all admitted cases had acute respiratory distress syndrome and the onset date of symptom was 2 weeks before hospitalization. Old age, chronic diseases, and co-infection may be contributing factors to effect on dexamethasone efficacy and excess mortality among COVID-19 patients.
Conclusion: The study assessed the effectiveness of dexamethasone in high and low dose in treating patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in Hodeidah, Yemen and found difference between mortality and recovery outcomes with high and low dose where the high doses of dexamethasone had good outcome for critical cases with MV.

Published: January 2025

The article considers the results of a study of ideas about aggression and victimization of subjects of educational relations within the framework of the concept of school bullying, which includes mandatory components of the offender (aggressor) and his victim.
The purpose of the study: to identify the specifics of the ideas of adolescents and their parents about school aggressors and victims on a sample that included 70 adolescents, parents of adolescents (120 people) are presented.
It has been established that the ideas of the school aggressor and the school victim are signifi­cantly more universal among parents, and more individualized among adolescents, containing fewer stereotypical elements.
The image of the “aggressor” in the minds of teenagers is more positive than the image of the “victim”; the popularity of the status of the aggressor in school teenagers has been confirmed environment. In the representations of the parent community, the images of the victim and the aggressor are stereotypical; the victim is perceived mainly as endowed with positive personal qualities, and the school aggressor – with negative ones.

Published: January 2025

Raising foster children, and especially adolescents, is always difficult. At the same time, the majority of adolescents raised in foster families quite often show anxiety, conflict and aggression. This leads to difficult relationships with foster parents. Therefore, it is necessary to learn to understand the behavioral changes that occur in children and to build interpersonal relationships. Both parties need such support, which helps to focus correctly on complex problems and their solutions; to evaluate the process of adaptation of the adolescent in the family, rethinking the role of adults to the new “created system of family relations”.
The aim of the research is theoretical substantiation and experimental study of the process of organization of pedagogical support to substitute families raising aggressive adolescents. The article presents the organization and implementation of this pedagogical support of foster families.

Authors: Karpov Anatoly V. , Volchenkova Anastasia A.
Published: January 2025

The influence of digitalization on the personal development of adolescents and their relationships with parents is considered. A conclusion is made about the significant influence of digi­talization on the reduction of communicative functions of both children and parents, which in turn affects their relationships. Possible ways of facilitating communicative and social competencies of modern children and their parents are discussed. A new phenomenon, previously undescribed, has been established and interpreted — the syndrome of decreased communication skills under the influence of the digitalization factor. It complements the well-known syndromes of decreased cognitive ability and regulatory capacity and reveals its real, complex and significant influence on the developing psyche of a child and on the development of parent-child relationships. The practical significance of the results obtained in the study lies in the development, on their basis, of psychological tools for the prevention of deviant behavior in adolescents by educating parents on issues of harmonizing relationships.

Authors: Ermakov Pavel N. , Abakumova Irina V. , Pleshakova Elena V.
Published: January 2025

This theoretical review is intended to consider the strategies of choosing a marriage partner known in the subject field, their applicability to the implementation of this choice by women and to establish theoretical prerequisites for studying the level of meaningfulness of women using different strategies for choosing a spouse. The article analyzes the concepts of Russian and foreign authors, which are the basis for highlighting existing strategies and describes various criteria based on which the choice of a marriage partner is carries out. Semantic choice is also considered as a potential strategy for choosing a marriage partner. It is established that the value-semantic sphere of personality represents a certain common denominator for the well-known criteria for choosing a spouse, since it determines which criteria will be important for a woman as an individual. The analysis confirms the impossibility of developing a universal concept of choosing a marriage partner in general, since the formation of structures that determine the dominant categories in choosing a marriage partner occurs because of an individual's life path.

Published: January 2025

The article presents the results of an empirical study aimed at searching the value predictors of current and prospective family identity in adolescents with different trajectories of transition to adulthood. The study participants were 488 adolescents aged 13–18, demonstrating trajectories of confident, postmodern and infantile transition to adulthood, as well as an uncertain trajectory of transition to adulthood. Empirical data was collected using the "Who am I? Twenty sentences" by M. Kuhn and T. McPartland, a short version of the Value Questionnaire of Sh. Schwartz and a modified methodology for studying self-esteem by T.V. Dembo and S.Ya. Rubinstein. The results suggest that in the structure of adolescent identity, the current family identity prevails over the prospective one. The value of benevolence is a positive predictor of indicators of both current and prospective family identity. The value of self-direction is a negative predictor of the indicator of current family identity, the value of hedonism is a prospective family identity. The negative impact of the value of self-direction on the current family identity is most clearly in the subgroup of adolescents with a postmodern trajectory of transition to adulthood, the negative impact of the value of hedonism on the prospective family identity is in the subgroup of adolescents with confident transition to adulthood.
Billy-Buddy against Cyberbullying
Authors: Sulikeri Nishad Babu
Published: January 2025

Cyberbullying has become a pervasive issue in the digital age, affecting individuals across demographics and causing
significant psychological, emotional, and social harm. Despite various attempts to address this problem, existing solutions often
fall short in providing comprehensive support, particularly in victim care, privacy preservation, and real-time intervention. This
paper presents a holistic framework that integrates cutting-edge technologies such as Natural Language Processing (NLP),
machine learning, and secure data handling to combat cyberbullying effectively.
At the core of this framework is an empathetic AI-powered chatbot, “Billy,” designed to provide victims with real-time emotional
support and actionable guidance. Billy uses advanced sentiment analysis to detect distress and offers tailored responses, helping
victims navigate the emotional and procedural aspects of cyberbullying incidents. Additionally, the system facilitates anonymous
reporting of perpetrators, ensuring victims’ privacy and safety through robust encryption and secure data management.
The proposed framework includes a real-time cyberbullying detection mechanism capable of analyzing online interactions,
identifying harmful content, and providing immediate feedback. Statistical tools analyze incident data to identify high-risk
regions, enabling law enforcement to prioritize resources effectively. The system also incorporates educational initiatives to raise
awareness about cyberbullying, promote safe online practices, and encourage proactive prevention.

Authors: M. Kiran Myee  , M. Humera Khanam
Published: January 2025

Glaucoma is a major cause of blindness, often undetected in early stages due to lack of symptoms. Addressing this, research study developed a deep learning framework integrating Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) with Residual Neural Networks (ResNet) to enhance glaucoma detection from fundus images. Utilizing GANs for data augmentation, we enriched the training set with synthetic images that improve feature recognition, while ResNet, fine-tuned on this data, performed high-precision classification. The GAN's discriminator, trained using binary cross-entropy loss, concentrating to extract key indicators of glaucoma from these fundus images, with its performance assessed by its accuracy in distinguishing real from synthetic images. The GAN-ResNet channel exploited the discriminator's feature extraction coupled with ResNet's deep learning capabilities to classify the fundus images with refined accuracy. The proposed model final layer is fine-tuned for binary classification between glaucomatous and healthy images, with the loss function modified for medical dataset imbalances. Through wide testing, the GAN-ResNet model proven a remarkable 98% accuracy in analysing glaucoma, showing high predictive results. This validates that the proposed model is helpful in detecting glaucoma early. It highlights how well-advanced neural networks work for analysing medical images.

Published: January 2025

Designing the motion of a hexapod robot with 3 Degrees of Freedom (DOF) using the Inverse Kinematics method allows the robot to move by adjusting the angles of its leg joints according to the desired position and direction. This research involves the geometric and structural design of the hexapod robot and the development of an Inverse Kinematics algorithm to calculate the leg joint angles based on the target pose. The study uses the Inverse Kinematics method to design a hexapod robot for movement with 3 DOF. The testing results show an average Inverse Kinematics error of 1.56 mm on the X-axis, 0.88 mm on the Y-axis, and 0.78 mm on the Z-axis. During the forward and backward movement tests covering a distance of 100 cm, the average error was 2.58 cm and 12.38 cm, respectively. For the rotation tests, the average error was 3.6° for a 90° rotation to the right, 3° for a 90° rotation to the left, 13.2° for a 180° rotation to the right, and 3.8° for a 180° rotation to the left. The results indicate that the design of the 3DOF hexapod robot using the Inverse Kinematics method provides a sufficient level of accuracy in controlling movements along the X, Y, and Z axes. Despite some errors, the robot is capable of moving fairly accurately during forward, backward, and rotational movements.

Urban trees, integral to urban environments, demonstrate intricate responses to atmospheric pollutants like particulate matter (PM), tropospheric ozone (O3), and carbon dioxide (CO2). Notably, O3 induces oxidative stress in leaf tissues, while PM, consisting of fine airborne particles, interacts with urban trees through foliar deposition. This interaction is particularly interesting as tree canopies are highly effective filters, capturing and accumulating PM on their surfaces. The present study focused on silver birch, small-leaved lime, and Norway maple seedlings responses to elevated O3 and CO2 with and without PM. Maple seedlings exhibited the highest stem height increment, followed by lime and birch. Elevated O3 and CO2 without PM led to substantial height increments for lime and maple. Elevated O3 and CO2 without PM increased the total polyphenols in lime and maple leaves but decreased the content of total flavonoids in birch and lime leaves. Our findings underscore the adaptability of lime and maple seedlings to elevated O3 and CO2, positioning them as promising species for urban environments in the face of changing climates. Birch, while exhibiting biochemical changes, demonstrated less pronounced growth responses. This studyʼs insights into the intricate interactions between urban trees and multiple pollutants, particularly the species-specific responses, are of significant value for urban planning and environmental management.

Published: January 2025

Students experienced various challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, e.g., distance learning, which caused limited face to-face socialization opportunities with peers, leading to loneliness and anxiety. Loneliness and anxiety are known to be associated with psychological difficulties such as depression or lack of motivation, feelings of anxiety and difficulty concentrating on work, etc. COVID-19 also had an impact on the physical health of young people, such as back pain when sitting at the computer, eye pain and other difficulties. Although COVID-19 is no longer an issue, young people studying remotely during the pandemic are now our learners. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify the emotional state of school youth at the moment and the impact of COVID-19 on their mental health, as researches show that three-quarters of all mental disorders appear before the age of 24. At this age, there are rapid changes in the body as well as the formation of personal identity. Based on these considerations, the Nordplus project ‘Methods for working with young people to ensure learning process resilienceʼ was initiated, in which surveys of students and teachers were organized, and six different educational institutions from three Baltic states participated in the study. Results show that students feel tired, anxious, and angry and have too heavy workload. Teachers think that physical activity, sports and help with studies could reduce the mental health problems of students, but for students, it is most important to spend more time with friends.
Remarks on n-power quasinormal operators
Authors: Ko Eungil , Lee Mee-Jung
Published: January 2025

In this paper, we study properties and structures of n-power quasinormal
operators. In particular, we show that every n-power quasinormal operator
satisfies some local spectral properties. Finally, we consider the n-power
quasinormality of operator matrices.
Fixed points theorems for enriched non-expansive mappings in geodesic spaces
Authors: Ali Javid , Jubair Mohd
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this paper is to extend a class of enriched non-expansive
mappings from linear spaces to nonlinear spaces, namely, geodesic metric
spaces of non-positive curvature. We prove that an enriched non-expansive
mapping in complete CAT(0) space has fixed points. Moreover, we also propose
simplified Mann iteration process to approximate fixed points of enriched
non-expansive mappings by ? and strong convergence in CAT(0) spaces.
A finite graph is the Reeb graph of a Morse circle-valued function
Authors: Gelbukh Irina
Published: January 2025

We show that any non-trivial finite connected graph (allowing loop edges and
multiple edges) is isomorphic to the Reeb graph of a Morse circle-valued
function on a closed n-manifold of a given dimension n ? 2; this manifold
roughly resembles a thick version of the graph, we present its construction
and study its properties. In the case of surfaces (n = 2), we prove a
criterion for when a finite graph can be realized as the Reeb graph of such
a function on a given surface.

This article discusses on topics about the integral boundary value problems
with impulsive conditions. Using a generalized contraction, the existence of
solutions of an initial boundary value problem involving Atangana Baleanu
Capotu-fractional order (in Mittag-Lefler kernel sense) will also be
investigated and some important results will be presented. Two examples are
provided to illustrate the results.
Business and Labour as Central Activities of the Intelligence of Need
Authors: J Agusti Cullell
Published: January 2025

This essay explores human collective intelligence as the creative force shaping our lives. By collective I mean that intelligence
lies in its interaction, in relationship. Intelligence is beyond the individual or the collective. I focus on one of its two levels: the
intelligence of need, which centres on fulfilling humanity’s needs and interests and is crucial to economic processes. Business
are central to the current way of living, hence, from its good working depends human wellbeing With the rapid growth of
human populations and nature’s limited resources, we must cultivate a frugal intelligence of need that moves away from
viewing economic growth as synonymous with prosperity. As Socrates said: “The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in
seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.” My goal is to show that the effective operation of the intelligence of
need for everyone’s benefit requires it to work in harmony with a foundational yet often overlooked intelligence, which I call the
intelligence of freedom, or liberating intelligence. The reforms of the intelligence of need, in particular of the economy, usually
proposed are insufficient to ensure wellbeing for all. We need the awakening of the liberating intelligence, the intelligence of
freedom, beauty and love, on which I will insist along this essay

A field experiment was conducted at Agronomy Instructional Farm, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, North Gujarat, India during July to October, 2023 aimed to evaluate the effect of intercrops on the incidence of Antigastra catalaunalis (Duponchel) (Crambidae: Lepidoptera) infesting sesame. The trial was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with seven treatments viz., sesame (sole crop), sesame+black gram, sesame+pearl millet, sesame+cowpea, sesame+sorghum, sesame+cluster bean and sesame+marigold. The  six treatments of these different intercrops were compared with sole sesame on the incidence of Antigastra catalaunalis larval population, its web infestation, capsule damage and seed yield. The results of the study revealed that sesame+cowpea treatment was found most effective in terms of reducing the larval population (0.73 larvae plant-1), web infestation (0.42 webs plant-1) and capsule damage (3.42%) due to leaf webber and capsule borer. It was followed by sesame+pearl millet treatment recorded minimum larval population (0.87 larvae plant-1), web infestation (0.52 webs plant-1) and capsule damage (4.00%). These two treatments are found significantly superior and are at par with each other. The highest sesame equivalent yield was obtained from the treatments sesame + marigold (1467 kg ha-1), sesame+pearl millet (892 kg ha-1) and sesame+cowpea (881 kg ha-1), respectively.  These intercrops can be utilized for management of leaf webber and capsule borer, A. catalaunalis infesting sesame.
