Authors: Konduru Laalithya , Dahia Simranjeet Singh , Kothari-Speakman Gargi 
Published: November 2024

Introduction
The coronavirus disease pandemic has worsened psychological distress in people experiencing homelessness (PEH). This study evaluates the impact of learning the Bhagavad Gita versus engaging in Kuchipudi dance on reducing psychological distress in PEH in Chennai and Dhanbad, India.

Methods and analysis
Participants will be allocated into Bhagavad Gita, Kuchipudi dance, Both interventions, or Control groups. The Kessler scale (K10) score, representing the primary outcome, will be measured at four time points: one day before intervention, one day after intervention completion, 40 days post-intervention, and 1 year post-intervention. The K10 scores will be analyzed using the Generalized Estimating Equation framework. Additionally, subgroup analysis based on participant demographics (e.g., age, education, religion, employment) will be conducted to explore potential differential effects using analysis of covariance. Statistical significance will be determined at p < 0.05 (two-tailed).

Dissemination
After study completion, findings will be shared at conferences, in peer-reviewed journals, and with stakeholders and community groups. Authorship will be granted to contributing researchers, with acknowledgment for others. The dataset will be publicly available upon publication. Efforts will be made to communicate results through infographics, plain language summaries, and tailored strategies, including community meetings and digital platforms, to engage and empower PEH in decision-making.

Trial registration
The trial has been registered with the Clinical Trials Registry of India (registration number: CTRI/2022/12/048416).
Risk factors for unintentional injury hospitalisation among Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children in Australia’s Northern Territory: A data linkage study
Authors: Su Jiunn-Yih , He Vincent Yaofeng , Lithgow Anna , Guthridge Steven 
Published: November 2024

Background
Unintentional injuries are a leading cause of hospitalisation for children. This study investigated the incidence and associated risk factors for unintentional injury hospitalisation (UIH) among Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children aged under 5 years in Australia’s Northern Territory.

Methods
This was a retrospective cohort study using linked data from a perinatal register, hospital admissions, school enrolment and child protection services. The outcome variable was a first UIH. Potential risk factors included gender, pregnancy and birth outcomes, maternal education level, child protection service contact and geographic remoteness. Modified Poisson regression was used for multivariate modelling.

Results
A cohort of 21,189 children (54.0% Aboriginal) born between 2000 and 2010 were followed to the age of 5 years. The overall incidence of first UIH was 25.8 per 1,000 person-years, which was 28.6% higher among Aboriginal than non-Aboriginal children (28.8 and 22.4 per 1000 person-years, respectively). Risk factors identified in the full model included: being male (incidence rate ratio (IRR) 1.26, 95%CI: 1.17–1.36); living in a remote (IRR 1.26, 95%CI: 1.14–1.40) or very remote area (IRR 1.44, 95%CI: 1.29–1.59); having a notification or substantiated notification for abuse (IRR 1.42, 95%CI: 1.27–1.58 and IRR 1.60, 95%CI: 1.41–1.82, respectively); or neglect (IRR 1.32, 95%CI: 1.17–1.48 and IRR 1.28, 95%CI: 1.11–1.47, respectively). After adjustment, there was no difference in UIH rates between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children. In both stratified models, being male, living in remote or very remote areas and having a notification or substantiated notification for child maltreatment were identified as risk factors.

Conclusions
Our study found high UIH incidence rates and evidence for an association between UIH and child maltreatment. This suggests child maltreatment and UIH have shared determinants and points to the need for clinicians to be aware of the overlap between these conditions and the importance of cross-agency collaboration in prevention and management.

Published: November 2024

Objective
This community-public-private-academic coalition project implemented and evaluated the effectiveness of a rural, community-based egg intervention that aimed to support the nutrition and health of children living in rural, poor communities from Intibucá, Honduras, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Design
This investigator-blind, non-randomized, controlled study was informed by a community health improvement process and participatory research. Women from 13 communities were given a microloan to start an egg farm that supplied 1 egg daily to 201 children ages 6–24 months for 1 year (intervention group). Control communities (n = 14) were selected from neighboring municipalities with similar sociodemographic backgrounds based on size. Sociodemographic-, anthropometric-, and morbidity data were collected biannually between January 2021 to January 2022. Outcome changes were compared with linear-, generalized- or Poisson- mixed models adjusted by sex, age, maternal education, breastfeeding status, assets, adults living at home, baseline outcomes, and community-cluster.

Results
Baseline to 6- and 12-month weekly frequency of egg intake significantly increased in the intervention vs. the control group: 6-month change = 1.86; 95%CI (1.61, 2.14); 12-month change = 1.63; 95%CI (1.42, 1.87 p<0.001), respectively. Baseline to 12-month changes in the intervention group were not significant for length/height-for-age-z-scores = 0.12, p = 0.187; weight-for-length/height-z-scores = -0.02, p = 0.78; and diarrhea prevalence, AOR = 1.69; 95%CI (0.53, 5.42), p = 0.378. Lower odds of respiratory infections were observed for the intervention vs. the control group at 6- and 12-month post: AOR = 0.28; 95%CI (0.12, 0.63), p = 0.002; AOR = 0.30; 95%CI (0.12, 0.75), p = 0.010, respectively.

Conclusions and relevance
Children in the intervention group reported consuming eggs more days per week relative to the control group. Lower odds of respiratory infections were observed in the intervention group throughout the study. Ongoing follow-up will offer more insights on the intervention’s effectiveness in linear growth, dietary diversity, food security, and other nutritional outcomes.
The Quiet Quote: Thoughts on Quotation Norms and Plagiarism in the Judeo-Arabic Culture of the High and Late Middle Ages
Authors: Ariel Neri Y. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In this paper, I strive to emphasize the phenomenology of quotation norms among Medieval Jewish scholars in an Islamicate context. The examined texts shed new light on the theme of plagiarism. The article ponders a fascinating connection raised in Jewish tradition between the legal normativity of quotation and the eschatological doctrine of deliverance. This research is both philological and comparative and stands at the intersection between law, literature, and philosophy. The last parts of the article show that the concept of plagiarism is a later phenomenon and that the discourse in this regard is modern by all means. It is connected with concepts such as intellectual property, which is mostly grounded in human rights discourse. In the appendix, I show the reductio ad absurdum of this phenomenon in modern times and address the heightened complexity of the issue in the technological era, with the promotion and growing influence of artificial intelligence.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Photometric study and light curve modeling for the systems V0876 Lyr, V3660 Oph, and V0988 Mon were carried out by means of their first charge-coupled device observations and the Wilson–Devinney code based on model atmospheres by Kurucz (1993. In: Milone, E. (Ed.), Light curve modeling of eclipsing binary stars. New York: Springer-Verlag. p. 93). The accepted models reveal physical parameters that show that all the primary components of the studied systems are more massive and hotter than the secondary ones. The systems V0876 Lyr and V0988 Mon were classified as over contact, with mass ratios of 0.8940 and 0.3904, respectively, while the system V366Oph was classified as detached, with a mass ratio of 0.1181. The evolutionary state of the system components was investigated, and their spectral types were adopted. Both components of the system V0876 Lyr and secondary components of the systems V3660 Oph and V0988 Mon show lower radii and luminosities than expected for Zero Age Main Sequence (ZAMS). Secondary components of the system, V3660 Oph and V0988 Mon, deviated from ZAMS and the Terminal-age Main Sequence (TAMS) with a higher radius and luminosity than expected for ZAMS and TAMS.
Synthesis of speed controllers by the polynomial equations method for an unstable electromechanical object
Authors: Markov Vladyslav , Honcharov Yevhen 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The article shows the possibility of synthesis of speed controllers by the polynomial equations method for a two-mass initially unstable object. The instability is caused by the non-linear nature of the friction load with so-called falling section. The low – order and full-order speed controllers with motor speed feedback which provide acceptable quality control indicators are synthesized. Analytical expressions for finding the parameters of the controllers are given, and computer simulations are also presented. A conclusion was made about the preference of using the low-order controller.

Abstract
This article presents a geospatial study case on electricity theft. The main objective is to identify the degree of correlation between exogenous variables and areas with a high density of irregular cases. Firstly, the geospatial study is carried out to asses the null hypothesis and check whether the data pattern presents clustering, for this the ANN method is applied, which ruled out the null hypothesis for the data set. Once the clustering pattern is confirmed, the spatial weight matrix is created to study spatial autocorrelation by applying Global Moran’s I and Local Moran’s I. Moran scatterplot is used to evaluate the degree of fitness, identify outliers, and local pockets of stationarity. The Local Moran index is used to determine the location of the clusters and the relationship between the points. In the data pre-processing step, spatial interpolation is implemented to the exogenous variables as a tool to better association of consumer units points and socioeconomic variables, the method utilized is IDW interpolation. The R-squared value of the spatial lag model after model tuning by feature selection was 87 % indicating that the model fit the observed data well.
Language learners, chess champions, and piano prodigies – insights from research on language contact and expert behavior
Authors: Barking Marie 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
One of the central assumptions in Cognitive Linguistics is that the cognitive mechanisms underlying our language use are domain-general and thus apply to human behavior beyond language. Examples of such cognitive mechanisms are, among others, our ability to focus attention, to memorize and categorize, as well as processes related to chunking, generalization, and inhibitory control. Testing this core assumption, however, is often difficult, as it requires us to move beyond linguistic research and to actively look for links between our language use and other areas of human cognition. This paper is an illustration of what such links could look like, particularly focusing on links between research on (Dutch-German) language contact and expert behavior. In doing so, it shows (a) that there are many shared links, for example, regarding the cognitive mechanisms of entrenchment and chunking, and (b) that these shared links (as well as potential differences across the fields) can be used to improve our linguistic theorizing. In particular, I argue that linguistic research can benefit from the insights from research on expert behavior, especially from its more advanced insights modelling individual variation, and that the shared links can help us to test the core assumption that the cognitive mechanisms underlying our language use are indeed domain-general.

Abstract
We consider an experiment with at least two stages or batches and

subjects per batch. First, we propose a semiparametric treatment effect estimator that efficiently pools information across the batches, and we show that it asymptotically dominates alternatives that aggregate single batch estimates. Then, we consider the design problem of learning propensity scores for assigning treatment in the later batches of the experiment to maximize the asymptotic precision of this estimator. For two common causal estimands, we estimate this precision using observations from previous batches, and then solve a finite-dimensional concave maximization problem to adaptively learn flexible propensity scores that converge to suitably defined optima in each batch at rate

These relatively weak rate requirements enable the investigator to avoid the common practice of discretizing the covariate space for design and estimation in batch adaptive experiments while maintaining the advantages of pooling. Our numerical study shows that such discretization often leads to substantial asymptotic and finite sample precision losses outweighing any gains from design.

Polizei: Vertrauen ist gut, Kontrolle auch
Authors: Piening Marie-Theres , Habermann Julia , Singelnstein Tobias 
Published: November 2024

Zusammenfassung
Den Bestrebungen zur Kontrolle der Polizei wird in der öffentlichen Debatte regelmäßig das hohe Vertrauen der Bevölkerung in die Institution gegenübergestellt, das eine intensivere Kontrolle polizeilicher Praxis entbehrlich mache. Vor diesem Hintergrund untersucht der vorliegende Beitrag anhand einer Quotenstichprobe Wahrnehmungen und Einstellungen in der Bevölkerung zu Problemen in der Polizei, zur Kontrolle der Polizei und zum Umgang mit Fehlverhalten sowie den Folgen für Legitimität und Vertrauen bezüglich der Polizei. Hierzu werden zunächst Legitimität, Vertrauen und Kontrolle bzw. Police Accountability in ihrem Verhältnis zueinander diskutiert. Anschließend wird die Kategorie des Vertrauens um die Dimension des gerechtfertigten Vertrauens erweitert, die sich an den Rechtfertigungsverhältnissen für wahrgenommene Probleme sowie dem Umgang mit diesen und deren Aufarbeitung bemisst. Die empirischen Befunde zeigen, dass die Gesellschaft zu einem differenzierten Blick auf die Polizei fähig ist: Kontrolle und Vertrauen stellen aus Sicht der Befragten keinen Widerspruch dar. Obwohl das Vertrauen (auch) in der vorliegenden Stichprobe hoch ist, werden Probleme in der Polizei wie Ungleichbehandlung, Rassismus und übermäßige Gewalt als solche gesehen und wird ein transparenter, gegenüber den Betroffenen sensiblerer Umgang mit Fehlverhalten favorisiert. Externe und unabhängige Police Accountability-Mechanismen wie etwa Polizeibeauftragte werden gegenüber innerpolizeilichen und sonstigen klassischen Kontrollmechanismen bevorzugt, während interne polizeiliche Ermittlungen und die Bearbeitung von mutmaßlichem Fehlverhalten durch die Judikative skeptisch bewertet werden.

The object of the study is the technological processes of high-quality crushing of stem feeds, due to the oriented feeding of stems into the grinding chamber and transportation of the crushed mass through a rectangular deflector.
A review of the literature sources has shown that at present, the design and technological scheme of a small-sized forage harvester has not yet been developed, which in turn ensures high-quality crushing of stem feeds and reduces operating costs in small farms.
As a result of theoretical studies, analytical expressions were obtained to determine the mass velocity at the deflector outlet and the range of mass ejection in the horizontal section.
The combine productivity when mowing alfalfa was equal to 6.22 t/h, the range of mass ejection in the horizontal direction was within 7.5...8.0 m (theoretical value – 7.8 m), the average size of crushed particles was 32.89 mm (estimated length – 33.5 mm), the difference between theoretical and actual values is 1.5 %.
The results of laboratory and field tests showed the efficiency of the forage harvester, the reliability of the analytical expressions obtained and the efficiency of the stem length orienter was determined. A distinctive feature of the research results is that a design and technological scheme of a small-sized forage harvester equipped with an orienter and a theoretical description of the feed transportation process through a rectangular deflector were developed.
According to the presented design and technological scheme, the deflector and orienter have a simplified design and good quality of crushing stem feeds. All this proves the practical significance and applicability of the developed forage harvester

Published: November 2024

This paper describes a mathematical model built for turbulent heat and mass transfer processes in the case of electron beam melting of titanium alloy ingots. The object of research is the conditions that ensure the quality of ingots. The model makes it possible to calculate the distribution of hydrodynamic flows in the liquid metal and temperature fields in the ingot, to determine the profile of the metal crystallization front, taking into account the interphase transition zones. The model solves the problem of finding the necessary melting regimes of ingots by calculation, in contrast to high-cost natural experiments. The thermal and hydrodynamic processes during the melting of a cylindrical ingot with a diameter of 110 mm of the newest titanium alloy Ti-6Al-7Nb for medical use were calculated and its melting parameters were determined. The small diameter of the ingot significantly facilitates its further machining. The geometry of the two-phase zone of the liquidus-solidus transition, which determines the crystallization front of the metal, was calculated. The position and geometry of this front greatly affects the quality of ingot formation and the concentration of the distribution of alloying elements and the homogeneity of the metal across its volume. A sufficiently flat crystallization front has been obtained, under which the given conditions are ensured. It was found that heat transfer in the liquid phase of the metal is mainly caused by heat and mass transfer due to its movement, and heat and mass transfer significantly depends on the power of the electron beam and its distribution on the surface of the bath. According to the calculated regimes, at the Institute of Electric Welding named after E. O. Paton, the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, high-quality ingots for the needs of the medical industry were smelted. The castings are used for the manufacture of light and ultra-strong endoprostheses and implants, which are chemically neutral and biologically and biomechanically compatible with the human body and do not cause rejection.
Determining working characteristics of the excess air pressure system in an emergency hatch based on jet water-gas ejectors
Authors: Hrynchak Serhii 
Published: November 2024

The object of this study is jet water and gas ejectors in the fire safety system of ships. The problem solved relates to the fact that in the event of a fire in the area of the exit from the ship's emergency room, the heat energy increases dangerously and a large amount of smoke spreads throughout the ship's rooms. These factors require immediate sealing of the emergency room, which limits the immediate access of emergency teams to the room. Installation of a local excess air pressure system in the emergency hatch on the basis of jet water and gas ejectors could make it possible to shield thermal energy and localize smoke gases in the emergency room without sealing it to ensure prompt access of emergency teams to it. The following results were achieved – the adequacy of theoretical studies of the processes of localization of flue gases in the emergency room without its sealing was confirmed by the experimental method. The investigated problem was solved by optimizing processes: the rate of change in the natural indicator of the weakening of environment during the start-up of the local excess air pressure system in the emergency hatch based on jet water and gas ejectors; the effectiveness of reducing the temperature of heated gases in the superstructure during the operation of the excess air pressure system in the emergency hatch based on jet water-gas ejectors. Special feature of the results was the formation of an air curtain obtained by the selection of a part of high-temperature flue gases in the housings of jet water-gas ejectors, their heat-mass exchange processing and output back into the flow. This created conditions under which thermal energy is shielded with an efficiency of 85–88 %. The scope and conditions of practical use of the results are shipbuilding and ship fire safety design
