Abstract
Background Treatment of depressive symptoms in older adults is a growing public health concern. Collecting patient-reported outcomes (PROs) may facilitate efficiently scaling psychotherapy for older adults but user-specific tailoring is needed to improve completion.
Objectives This study investigates (1) the effect of updating PRO collection tools for middle-aged and older adults with depressive symptoms through a user-centered design process on user completion of PRO questions, (2) what sociodemographic factors correspond with participant completion, and (3) how completion of PRO questions change during the course of a psychotherapy intervention.
Methods Analysis was conducted on 139 middle-aged and older adults with depressive symptoms from three clinical trials at the Weill Cornell ALACRITY Center. Overall response percentages to daily PRO questionnaires were compared before and after the implementation of findings from a multiphase user-centered design process. Grouped least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) was employed to examine which baseline factors correspond with patient completion and linear regression was conducted to explore the association. Changes in daily dichotomized completion over time were analyzed with mixed-effect logistic regression.
Results After user-centered updates, there was a significantly higher (p < 0.001) percentage of completion (mean [standard deviation (SD)] percentage, 67.0 [35.6]%) than before (mean [SD] percentage, 24.9 [28.9]%). Additional years of education, age, and total annual household income greater than $25,000 were significant with completion percentage. Mixed-effects logistic regression showed that the odds of high completion increased each day (OR = 1.019 [95% CI: 1.014, 1.023; p < 0.001]).
Conclusion This study has shown that user-centered technology tailoring may be associated with increased PRO completion among middle-aged and older adults with depressive symptoms. PRO-supported psychotherapies are promising for middle-aged and older adults with depressive symptoms. Likewise, this study has demonstrated the potential benefits of employing a rigorous user-centered design process with PRO technology.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Objectives This study explores the results of a rapidly implemented no-cost gratitude intervention designed to address student distress during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This intervention focused on shared gratitude journaling with a postimplementation survey of well-being using elements of Seligman's PERMA (Positive emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment) model of well-being.
Methods Journaling took place from November 2020 to April 2021 using a convenience sample (N = 57) from the Master of Science in Health Informatics program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. An online postimplementation survey was conducted to evaluate students' perceptions of how the intervention influenced their well-being. Quantitative analysis was conducted to understand student well-being after two semesters of using an online shared gratitude board. Qualitative analysis was conducted to identify themes in the content of the student posts.
Results Relative to the PERMA elements, the majority of students agreed or strongly agreed that posting to the gratitude board led to improvements in Positive Emotion (85.72%), Engagement (77.2%), Relationships (67.7%), Meaning (77.2%), and Accomplishment (60%). Students who would recommend the board outweighed the number of students who would not by over 25%.
Discussion The gratitude board represented an opportunity to rapidly implement a no-cost opportunity based on the science of gratitude and well-being to support students' mental health and wellness. Meta-inferences gleaned from the quantitative and qualitative findings suggest that students found gratitude in different areas, that having things to do was helpful, that being able to connect with people was important, that students derived purpose from effort, and that they felt a sense of accomplishment by completing objectives.
Conclusion Our findings suggest that adopting an attitude of gratitude helps stimulate positive emotion to facilitate growth and learning. While this study was conducted with students in a graduate Health Informatics program, it has widespread generalizability to other programs and in other environments, especially at times when there is emotional distress.
Service selection and switching decisions: user behavior in high-interoperability environments
Authors: Pecher Johannes , Syrmoudis Emmanuel , Grossklags Jens 
Published: November 2024

AbstractCurrent legislation and market dynamics require and encourage systems to become more open and interoperable. Given this shift, the challenge arises as to how service providers can navigate such environments and whether and how known platform economics are affected by that change. In this context, our work investigates behavior when users interact with services in highly interoperable environments, examining the influence of service attributes and platform economics on service selection and switching decisions, with a focus on the role of transaction cost and time, onboarding time, privacy, ownership, and community. For this purpose, we designed and conducted an extensive survey study with more than 500 respondents that combined a conjoint study with an experimental part on switching scenarios. Our findings suggest that transaction features such as cost, time, and privacy are the main factors in service selection with part-worth utilities being 2.1 to 14.7 times higher than non-transactional features. Additionally, building a strong community and offering ownership opportunities to users are effective strategies for customer retention. Further, we observe that rational choice theory does not explain switching decisions in many cases. Our study has important implications for both industry practitioners and policymakers. Practitioners can use our results to carefully manage effective customer retention strategies, while policymakers can use them to better regulate digital markets.
Revisiting jobs-housing balance: unveiling the impact of housing subsidy policy on residential locations across different income groups
Authors: Wang Yiqian , Li Yibin 
Published: November 2024

AbstractAs many countries recover from COVID-19 without constraints with travelling issues, in which citizens’ travelling and commuting behaviours and patterns are reemphasised. However, as for low-income households who are relatively disadvantaged and excluded from the labour and housing markets, research on their commuting behaviours and movement patterns has been underestimated, though they play an important role in improving social equality and ensuring the long-term sustainability of welfare systems. This study explores and predicts the extent to which jobs-housing balance can be understood and interpreted here by capturing dynamics in low-income households’ commuting behaviours and patterns influenced by subsidy housing preferences. A Spatial General Equilibrium Model is adopted based on the census data and a large-migrant survey in 2010–2020, China. The findings indicate that low and middle-low income households influenced by policy preferences adjust to their commuting behaviours by decreasing the commuting times and distances among different districts, showing a better jobs-housing balance. Low-income households tend to have a higher elasticity of jobs-housing balance than middle-low income households. Policy preferences contribute to improving jobs-housing balance and reducing commuting costs, and it is largely attributed to the quality of local transport infrastructure. Policy implications and limitations are also drawn.

Indium–gallium–zinc oxide (IGZO) as a star material has been broadly applied in multiple functional devices, including planar displays, flexible electronic devices, and photoelectronics. In recent years, the development of artificial intelligence and great data also extends the application of IGZO-based thin film transistors (TFTs) to memory, memristors, and neuromorphic computing. Thus, the research of high performance and reliable IGZO TFTs attracts tremendous attention worldwide. Herein, a high-quality IGZO thin film was deposited via atomic layer deposition, and a dual-gate (DG) IGZO TFT was fabricated. Comprehensive electrical characterization was conducted on the fabricated DG IGZO TFTs, revealing that DG IGZO TFTs exhibited good performance for reliability analysis. The reliability and degradation mechanism of the DG IGZO TFT was systematically investigated under bias stress at room temperature and elevated temperatures of 350, 400, and 450 K by the comprehensive electrical characterization. Results indicate that the defects of the dual gate insulators and the interfaces majorly influence the degradation under bias stresses, while the carrier scattering of the IGZO channel is the major degradation mechanism under elevated temperatures. These findings highlight the degradation mechanism of the DG IGZO TFT under bias stress and elevated temperatures from a novel viewpoint, which provides a utilizable reference to its application in circuits.

Published: November 2024

It is widely known that porous structure design is an important way to reduce the weight of matrix materials. However, there is still a lack of systematic understanding of how factors such as the shape, size, and concentration of pores affect the dynamic response of materials. This study investigated the elastic–plastic behavior and failure characteristics of nanoporous Al from a molecular dynamics perspective, taking into account columnar voids with a diameter of 2–18 nm and two types of arrangement configurations. The results show that all samples undergo elastic deformation for a strain range of ∼−4% to 5%. In this range, the amplitude of temperature and stress changes with strain decreases sequentially as the sample density decreases. The corresponding yield stress of the void sample under compression and tension is calculated according to the virial theorem. During the compression process, local plastic deformation and collapse mechanisms of voids can occur in low porosity samples, while strain localization and slip thickening mechanisms can occur in the transverse ligaments between large voids. During the stretching process, local plastic deformation and lateral expansion mechanisms of voids can occur in low porosity samples, while strain localization and necking fracture mechanisms can occur in the transverse ligaments between large voids. Finally, the transformation law of deformation mechanism with porosity was given based on the amount of plastic deformation.

Published: November 2024

In this paper, we investigate the resistive switching (RS) behavior of Cu/ZnO/ITO devices subjected to various rapid thermal annealing (RTA) temperatures under vacuum. Current–voltage characteristics reveal that following the application of a positive electroforming voltage, both unannealed ZnO films and those annealed at 200 °C exhibit bipolar RS, consistent with the electrochemical metallization mechanism (ECM). However, films annealed at higher temperatures exhibit RS with both positive and negative electroforming threshold voltages and coexistence of switching in both polarities. Ultimately, these films display RS behavior aligned with the valence change mechanism (VCM), dominated by a negative electroforming voltage and RS on the negative bias side, while positive electroforming voltage and RS vanish for films annealed at 600 °C. Curve fitting analysis was conducted for Schottky emission (SE), space-charge limited current, and Poole–Frenkel (PF) emission mechanisms, with SE and PF emission providing better fits. These results demonstrate the tunability of ECM and VCM RS modes and the polarity of the forming bias, underscoring the potential of vacuum RTA in advancing ZnO-based memory device development.

The long half-life and the high decay energy of beta sources play a critical role in improving the performance of betavoltaic micro-nuclear batteries. In this study, the pure beta source 14C in the form of powder, which can be transformed into an ultra-thin film by using (14C6H5NH)2CO, was selected to design planar 4H-SiC p–n junction betavoltaic batteries. A comprehensive model was developed utilizing the Monte Carlo code and the COMSOL Multiphysics code to predict the output performance. As a result, based on a 100 μm-thick (14C6H5NH)2CO source with a maximum power density of 1.86 μW/cm2 and the current fabrication technology of 4H-SiC p–n junction, we optimized the thicknesses of the p−-type region (4.2 µm) with a doping concentration of Na = 3 × 1016 cm−3 and the n−-type region (5.8 µm) with a doping concentration of Nd = 2 × 1014 cm−3. The corresponding predicted performance values included the short-circuit current density of 0.1 μA/cm2, the open-circuit voltage of 2.15 V, and the maximum power density of 0.2 μW/cm2. Moreover, the energy conversion efficiency of the semiconductor converter can reach 10.6%, while the overall battery efficiency was determined to be 2.9%. Therefore, this research provides a feasible structure for a planar 4H-SiC p–n junction energy converter utilizing the (14C6H5NH)2CO source and presents a powerful model for predicting the performance of planar betavoltaic batteries.

Context Understanding the interaction between breeder age and environmental stressors, such as cold, is crucial for poultry production. Previous research has highlighted the impact of these factors on chick development, but there is limited information on how breeder age specifically influences stress resilience and growth performance in broilers, particularly under suboptimal conditions. Aims The study aimed to assess the impact of broiler breeder age and 8-h exposure to cold stress on chicks during the first 7 days of rearing. Methods A total of 600 male chicks from two Cobb flocks were divided into groups based on breeder age (29 or 42 weeks) and rearing temperature (thermoneutral or cold-stressed for 8 h/day during the first week). Key results Chicks from 42-week-old breeders exhibited faster yolk sac absorption under thermal comfort conditions (P < 0.05). Corticosterone levels were higher in chicks from 29-week-old breeders exposed to cold stress (P < 0.05). Cold-exposed birds showed elevated heterophil/lymphocyte ratios regardless of breeders’ age (P < 0.05). Feed intake and weight gain were superior in birds from 42-week-old breeders up to 35 days, whereas cold stress negatively impacted the feed conversion ratio (P < 0.05). Viability was lower in chicks from 29-week-old breeders and those subjected to cold stress (P < 0.05). Conclusion Although cold stress did not affect weight gain at 35 days, it impaired the feed conversion ratio. Moreover, chicks from 29-week-old breeders were more susceptible to cold stress during the first week of life compared with those from 42-week-old breeders. Implications The study reveals that breeder age significantly influences chick resilience to cold stress, with older breeders (42-week-old) producing more robust offspring. The findings suggest that optimizing the management of thermal conditions is critical for enhancing feed efficiency, growth performance and overall viability in broiler production.

Context Omega-3 in pasture-fed beef and lamb is related to its availability in the forage species grazed. The variation in omega-3 content of several forages has been examined in the USA and UK, but not in south-eastern Australia across different stages of maturity. Aims This study aimed to determine the change in omega-3, at different stages of plant development, in four species of forage commonly grazed by ruminants in south-eastern Australia. Methods Four species, oats (Avena sativa L. cv. Eurabbie), annual ryegrass (Lolium perenne L. cv. Rambo), phalaris (Phalaris aquatica L. cv HoldfastGT) and subterranean clover (Trifolium subterrraneum L. cv. Coolamon) were grown in a replicated pot trial and harvested at seven stages of maturity corresponding to early vegetative, late vegetative, stem elongation, boot, anthesis, soft dough and ripening for oats, phalaris and ryegrass, or relative to day of flowering in clover. Proximate analysis and the concentration of fatty acids including C18:3n-3 and C18:2n-6 as well as the ratio of n-6:n-3 was determined. Key results The mean (±s.e.) proportion of C18:3n-3 was highest in clover (50.6 ± 0.8), and higher in ryegrass (45.1 ± 0.5) and phalaris (44.0 ± 0.6) compared with oats (39.4 ± 0.5). Omega-3 proportion decreased with increasing maturity for oats (13.9 ± 0.86 vs 64.3 ± 0.68), ryegrass (17.3 ± 0.86 vs 68.2 ± 0.65) and phalaris (21.6 ± 1.63 vs 65.1 ± 0.79) but not to the same extent for sub clover (41.5 ± 1.38 vs 57.4 ± 0.79). The proportion of omega-3 was positively correlated with crude protein content. Conclusions Omega-3 levels decreased in forages during development and was positively related to crude protein content, which is likely associated with total leaf chloroplasts. Although crude protein content remained higher for clover compared with other species, this did not translate to a higher proportion of omega-3 for any crude protein level. Implications Grazing forages at earlier stages of maturity and maximising the amount of crude protein available for growth will increase the amount of omega-3 in plant material. The availability of this omega-3 for incorporation into meat and milk should be examined.
Problematizing and reexamining the notion of taking another introductory-level language class at
college
Authors: Liu Hsuan-Ying 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Existing literature shows that discrepancies between the expectations of students and language instructors might
discourage high school students from progressing in their language learning at college. This study aims to address such
discrepancies by examining students who studied Chinese in high school but were still taking an introductory-level language course
at college, with the intention of declaring a minor or major in Chinese Studies at a Midwestern university in the United States.
Drawing on the concept of identity and investment, a qualitative research method was employed to address the time- and
context-sensitive nature of identity and investment. Data were collected from interviews and reflection journals to reveal their
investment in Chinese language learning and how they coalesced their identities as Chinese language learners in high school and
college. Findings show that they firmly fought against the stereotypical assumption that taking another introductory-level class
at college was for an easy A, as current world language education policy and implementation rendered them voiceless in the
top-down implementation process. This present study provides new insights into the connections between investment and articulation
in world language education, and invites stakeholders to reevaluate the predominant emphasis placed on language proficiency in
foreign language research and education.
Is variation a sign of decreolization?
Authors: Kainz Emma 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The sociolinguistic situation in Guyana is one in which Creolese has intensive contact with its lexifier language,
English, creating a continuum of varieties in which the acrolect varieties behave much like Standard English (Rickford 1987a). The
creole continuum has been associated with decreolization following the pidgin-creole lifecycle (Hall 1962). Decreolization is the theory of contact induced change wherein a creole becomes more similar
to its lexifier language over time (Bickerton 1980). Many researchers (e.g. Mayeux 2019, Patrick 1999b) call into question the existence of decreolization as separate
from regular language change. This study will add evidence to these critiques and challenge the association of the creole
continuum with decreolization and thus language change. Using a meta-analysis of the habitual marker doz and
singular pronouns in Guyanese Creolese over a nearly twenty-year period, this paper will investigate whether the linguistic
variation observed on the creole continuum shows evidence of loss of creole variants. The findings of this paper help to support
earlier critiques of decreolization, and arguments against its usefulness in describing diachronic change observed in creole
languages.
An eye-tracking study on the cognitive processing, reception, and perception of swearword translation in
films
Authors: Jiang Qihang , Doherty Stephen 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Technological advances lead to an increasing array of widely accessible online audiovisual (AV) products. However, translating
these AV products poses challenges, especially for culturally sensitive content like swearwords. Using eye-tracking, this study
investigates how audiences cognitively process translated swearwords in films from English to Chinese. The experiment involved 150
participants distributed among five different subtitling groups, with each group (n = 30) exposed to four clips
under a distinct translation strategy for swearwords. While cognitive processing measures showed no significant differences across
strategies, the mean fixation duration was notably higher in the softening strategy group during gunfight scenes, suggesting
heightened audience engagement. Pre- and post-questionnaire responses revealed participants’ functional awareness of swearwords
and a preference for literal translation. Additionally, no significant differences were found in immersion, satisfaction,
enjoyment, comprehension, or perceived offensiveness across film clips. This study contributes empirically and methodologically to
understanding subtitling practices, offering insights into audience reception.
