SOCIO-EDUCATIONAL CORRELATES OF BULLYING IN THE SCHOOL CONTEXT
Authors: Butnaru Simona 
Published: November 2021

Bullying is an increasingly common problem in schools, associated with negative educational outcomes for both bullies and victims. This study explored the socio-educational family and school variables related to bullying, victimization and positive behavior, such as age, gender, separation from parents, school results, and truancy. In this study 311 students (50.8% boys) have participated, they were aged between 6 and 16 years (M = 11.01, SD = 1.71), enrolled in primary school (47.3%) and in secondary school (52.7%), all were from urban areas. 43.8% of respondents were separated from one or both parents due to divorce (17.4%), parental death (6.1%), migration (20%) or abandonment (0.3%). Bullying, victimization and positive behavior were measured with one standardized scale; the data about school results and attendance of the students was collected from the school registers; family information was self-reported by participants. Because Cronbach’s Alpha for the positive behavior scale was 0.57, lower that 0.7, this scale was not considered for further data analysis. Empirical data for the study was collected before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Mann-Whitney U test showed significant age differences: secondary school students scored higher in aggression than primary school students. We also found significant gender differences in bullying behavior: boys’ reported higher level of aggression. The Independent Sample Student’s t-test indicated gender differences in school results: the boys obtained lower school results in Language and Mathematics than the girls. Separation from one or both parents did not lead to significant differences in bullying behavior, but pupils separated from their parents had fewer school absences than their colleagues not separated from their parents. Pearson’s correlation indicated that students with higher bullying scores, also scored higher on victimization and had higher number of school absences, but had scored lower grades in Language and Mathematics. One-way ANOVA indicated that victimization was influenced by age and bullying was influenced by gender. Also, one-way ANOVA indicated an effect of bullying on school results. Two-way ANOVA showed an interaction effect between gender and separation from parents on bullying. When living with both parents, boys had higher bullying scores, but under separation condition, the boys scored slightly lower than girls. The implications of the results for education and counseling are discussed.
Heterogeneous effects of eccentric training and nordic hamstring exercise on the biceps femoris fascicle length based on ultrasound assessment and extrapolation methods: A systematic review of randomised controlled trials with meta-analyses
Authors: Yagiz Gokhan , Akaras Esedullah , Kubis Hans-Peter , Owen Julian Andrew 
Published: November 2021

Objective
To systematically review the effects of eccentric training based on biceps femoris fascicle length using ultrasound assessment and extrapolation methods.

Design
Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

Data sources
CENTRAL, CINAHL Plus with full text, PubMed and OpenGrey databases were searched on 6 July 2021.

Eligibility criteria for selecting studies
Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) lasting at least four weeks and presenting data about biceps femoris (BF) fascicle length (FL) as an outcome.

Method
Searching databases, screening studies, performing risk of bias assessments and determining the level of evidence (LoE) for each meta-analysis were applied during the study. PRISMA 2020 statement and Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions were used as the guidelines of this systematic review.

Results
Eight randomised controlled trials included in meta-analyses. Based on the very low and low LoE, eccentric training has small (g = 0.29, 95% CI [-0.26, 0.85]), moderate (g = 0.72, 95% CI [0.17, 1.28]) and large (g = 2.20, 95% CI [0.99, 3.41]) effect sizes (ES) based on manual linear extrapolation (MLE), panoramic ultrasound scanning and trigonometric equation methods, respectively. Similarly, Nordic hamstring exercise (NHE) has small (g = 0.23 [-1.02, 1.47]), small (g = 0.38, 95% CI [-0.50, 1.27]) and large (g = 1.98, 95% CI [0.52, 3.44]) ES based on the MLE, panoramic ultrasound scanning and trigonometric equation methods, respectively.

Conclusion
ES of eccentric training, including NHE, vary between the MLE, panoramic ultrasound scanning, and equation methods. The relevant scientific community should have a consensus on measurement standards of the BF FL measurements. Further studies can be conducted to compare the effects of eccentric training based on the ultrasound assessment and extrapolation methods.
A Comparative Study of Network Securities

on Mobile Transaction
Authors: Tyolaha Geoffrey , Israel Moses 
Published: November 2021

In recent years, the number of mobile transactions has skyrocketed. Because mobile payments are made on the fly, many consumers prefer the method to the traditional local payment approach.
The rise in mobile payments has inspired this study into the security of mobile networks in order to instill trust in those who may be involved in the transaction in some way.
This report is a precursor to
explain and compare some of the most popular wireless networks that enable mobile payments, from a security standpoint, this research presents, explains, and compares some of the most common wireless networks that enable mobile payments. Threat models in 3G with connections to GSM, WLAN, and 4G networks are classified into four categories: attacks on privacy, attacks on integrity, attacks on availability, and assaults on authentication. In addition, we offer classification countermeasures which are divided into three categories: cryptographic methods, human factors, and intrusion detection methods. One of the most important aspects we analyze is the security procedures that each network employs.
Since the security of these networks is paramount, it gives hope to subscribers. In summary, the study aims to verify if mobile payments offer acceptable security to the average user.
Satirische Metabolistik: Jean Pauls Skizze „Über die Schriftstellerei“
Authors: Waszynski Alexander 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Jean Paul’s collection Grönländische Prozesse, oder Satirische Skizzen (1783–4/1821) has been scrutinized regarding its exuberant similes and its satirical wit, but ranked low compared to his novels. From the beginning, however, it exposes a groundbreaking strategy resonating in his more famous literary and theoretical works alike. The first sketch “On literary writing. An opusculum posthumum” converts a rhetoric of the known material world – with its diversity of life forms – into a materialistic-physiological writing (and vice versa). The text interchanges processes of transformation (e. g. ‘metabolic,’ ‘biotic,’ ‘chemical’) with techniques that are capable of changing things rhetorically. Pertaining to Jean Paul’s later analysis of antithetical wit, I suggest grasping the structure of this interchanging as a rhetorical process in itself, which can be pinpointed by the figure of antimetabole (or commutatio). Consequently, this complex dynamics is connected to transitions between ‘alive’ and ‘dead’. The status of “On literary writing” as a posthumously published draft and pseudo-poetological treatise, introduced by a fictive editor, thus exactly fits the rhetorico-physiological processes it stages and complements a genuinely anticipatory writing.

Abstract

Objectives
For the correct interpretation of test results, it is important to be aware of drug-laboratory test interactions (DLTIs). If DLTIs are not taken into account by clinicians, erroneous interpretation of test results may lead to a delayed or incorrect diagnosis, unnecessary diagnostic testing or therapy with possible harm for patients. A DLTI alert accompanying a laboratory test result could be a solution. The aim of this study was to test a multicentre proof of concept of an electronic clinical decision support system (CDSS) for real-time monitoring of DLTIs.

Methods
CDSS was implemented in three Dutch hospitals. So-called ‘clinical rules’ were programmed to alert medical specialists for possible DLTIs based on laboratory test results outside the reference range in combination with prescribed drugs. A selection of interactions from the DLTI database of the Dutch society of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine were integrated in 43 clinical rules, including 24 tests and 25 drugs. During the period of one month all generated DTLI alerts were registered in the laboratory information system.

Results
Approximately 65 DLTI alerts per day were detected in each hospital. Most DLTI alerts were generated in patients from the internal medicine and intensive care departments. The most frequently reported DLTI alerts were potassium-proton pump inhibitors (16%), potassium-beta blockers (11%) and creatine kinase-statins (11%).

Conclusions
This study shows that it is possible to alert for potential DLTIs in real-time with a CDSS. The CDSS was successfully implemented in three hospitals. Further research must reveal its usefulness in clinical practice.
A stochastic model, simulation, and application to aggregation of cadmium sulfide nanocrystals upon evaporation of the Langmuir–Blodgett matrix

Published: November 2021

Abstract
A stochastic model of nanocrystals clusters formation is developed and applied to simulate an aggregation of cadmium sulfide nanocrystals upon evaporation of the Langmuir–Blodgett matrix. Simulations are compared with our
experimental results.
The stochastic model suggested governs mobilities both of individual
nanocrystals and its clusters (arrays).
We give a comprehensive analysis of the patterns simulated by the model,
and study an influence of the surrounding medium (solvent) on the aggregation processes. In our model, monomers have a finite probability of separation from the cluster which depends on the temperature and binding energy between nanocrystals, and can also be redistributed in the composition of the cluster, leading to its compaction. The simulation results obtained in this work are compared with the experimental data on the aggregation of CdS nanocrystals upon evaporation of the Langmuir–Blodgett matrix. This system is a typical example from real life and is noteworthy in that the morphology of nanocrystals after evaporation of the matrix cannot be described exactly by a model based only on the motion of individual nanocrystals or by a cluster-cluster aggregation model.

The First Italian Farmers: The Role of Stone Ornaments in Tradition, Innovation, and Cultural Change
Authors: Pannocchia Cristiana Petrinelli , Vassanelli Alice 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
When the first farmers landed on the eastern coast of the Italian peninsula (end of seventh millennium cal BC), they brought with them a system of knowledge and technologies that quickly spread along both the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic coasts. The study of the material culture, therefore, assumes an important role in understanding the social and cultural identity of these incoming groups. Analyses of ornament production – involving manufacture technology, raw materials, and stylistic choices – may supply information about the cultural choices and the technical skills of human groups and shed light on the social and symbolic system of these ancient populations. Data obtained from this work show that the ornaments became symbols of a growing cultural identity, which began to be developed within Italian territory. In the ornamental assemblages of the newcomers, the relevance of shaped lithic items is clearly visible, and there was the development of types that will become more and more standardized during the Neolithic period. However, elements in the symbolic culture of these first settlers, such as the use of Columbella rustica and the exclusive production of hard animal matter ornaments in some sites, recall previous traditions. This study intends to extend our knowledge on the ornamental customs of the first Italian Neolithic communities. It will attempt to establish if the chronological and the geographical differences that emerge from our analyses reflect diversities in the cultural and symbolic systems of the incoming farmers and different possible interactions with the native population.

Published: November 2021

AbstractIn this paper we present the progress in development of a table-top version of the Kibble balance under the name Planck-Balance 2 (PB2). The PB2 is developed as a collaboration effort between the Technische Universität Ilmenau (TU Ilmenau) and Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) aiming for automatized mass calibration of the set of weights in the range from 1 mg to 100 g within the required uncertainties as stated by OIML recommendation R111 for weights of E2 class. We describe the design and the operational performance of the PB2 system in detail, the results of rigorous investigations of the error sources and subsequent improvements made since the beginning of the project in early 2017, the measurement data with the corresponding relative uncertainties and the preliminarily obtained uncertainty budget.

Abstract
Background; the brief fear of movement scale for knee osteoarthritis (b-FMSKOA) is a valid instrument for assessing fear of movement in individuals with OA. The objective of this study was to translate and culturally adapt the b-FMSKOA into Igbo language (b-FMSKO-I) and assess its validity and reliability in patients with knee osteoarthritis to promote its use in Igbo speaking parts of Nigeria.Methods; the original b-FMSKOA was translated and culturally adapted from English into Igbo following a standardized procedure according to Beaton et al., 2000 in seven separate processes of translation, back translation, committee review and pre-testing before being tested for psychometric quality. It was administered (within a 2day interval) to 15 consenting outpatients with knee OA who attended physiotherapy unit 3times a week in a selected South-eastern Nigerian hospital. The b-FMSKOA (English version) was correlated with the Igbo version. Results; the concurrent validity of the b-FMSKOA-I was found to be satisfactory and comparable to the original version. The correlation coefficient of the variables of interest were within the range of 0.441 and 0.998 and all showed significant correlation (p< 0.05) between the scores obtained from the English and Igbo version of the questionnaire except for the fourth item (r= 0.441; p=0.131) which showed no significant relationship. Cronbach’s alpha showed the questionnaire to reach acceptable reliability α = 0.85. The Pearson correlation coefficient of the variables of interest was within the range of 0.441 and 0.945 with the fourth and first item recording the lowest (r=0.441) and highest (r=0.945) correlation coefficient respectively. All variables showed significant correlation (p< 0.05) between the scores obtained from Igbo version of the questionnaires except for the fourth item (r= 0.441; p=0.131) which showed no significant relationshipConclusion; the b-FMSKO-I like the original version is a reliable, consistent and valid instrument that can be considered for use in South-eastern Nigeria for evidence based quality healthcare promotion in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
This study addressed the effect of unconventional by-products on growth performance, carcass characteristics, some blood parameters, and caecal activities in New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits. A total of 48 weaned NZW rabbits (748 ± 9.50 g BW, 6 weeks old), randomly assigned into three treatment groups (16 each, individually housed), were fed a basal diet containing BBP at 0.00 (Control), 1.00 (Broc1) or 3.00 (Broc2) % on a dry matter (DM) basis as feed additives, for 8 weeks. The Broc2 rabbits showed the highest (P < 0.05) body weight gain and feed intake followed by the Broc1 group compared to the control one. Feed conversion ratio and performance index did not differ (P > 0.05) among treatments. Nutrient digestibility was higher (P < 0.05) for Broc1 and Broc2 rabbits compared to the control. Both Broc1 and Broc2 rabbits showed higher (P < 0.05) empty edible carcass, giblets, dressing, head, liver, heart and kidney weights, but showed a lower non-edible carcass weight compared to the control. Blood proteins and liver function enzymes were increased (P < 0.05) whereas the glucose, total cholesterol, uric acid and creatinine were decreased (P < 0.05) in Broc1 and Broc2 rabbits compared to the control. The caecal concentration of total volatile fatty acids was increased (P < 0.05) but that of ammonia was decreased (P < 0.05) with Broc1 and Broc2 groups of rabbits compared to those of control. Thus, dietary supplementation of BBP at 3% of DM in rabbits’ diets could improve their growth performance, carcass traits, liver function and blood profile as well as the caecal fermentation parameters.

Abstract
Cardiac fibrosis is a pathological reparative process that occurs subsequent to myocardial injury. It is associated with cardiac systolic and diastolic dysfunction and reduced cardiac compliance that eventually leads to heart failure. Delaying or inhibiting the progression of pathological myocardial fibrosis is of great significance for the treatment of many cardiovascular diseases. The Wnt signaling pathway is closely related to the occurrence of organ fibrosis, and Notum is a highly conserved secreted feedback inhibitor of Wnt signaling. It has been shown that Notum acts as a regulator in many organs, such as the aging intestinal epithelium, adult ventricular-subventricular zone neurogenesis, and mouse tooth root development. However, the role and mechanism of Notum on cardiac fibrosis are not well-understood. In this study, we found that Notum significantly increased survival rate and improved cardiac function following myocardial infarction in mice. More importantly, Notum inhibited the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and senescence of cardiac fibroblasts, thereby decreasing the activation of cardiac fibroblasts, reducing the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix, and ultimately inhibiting the occurrence of cardiac fibrosis. Taken together, our findings demonstrated the anti-fibrotic effects of Notum on maladaptive cardiac fibrosis, and suggest that it may be a new strategy for the treatment of cardiac fibrosis.
