Authors: Alonzo Dennis , Pelobillo Giovanni , Oo Cherry Zin , Lim Rex , Asih Ria , Ibale Rygin March 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTThis article provides a knowledge base on how teacher isolation was investigated, conceptualised and reported in the literature. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses, we extracted 23 relevant articles. Our analysis shows that 53 discrete elements, clustered into six dimensions, contribute to teacher isolation. In addition, two broad categories of strategies are implemented to support isolated teachers: school leader‐led and teacher‐led strategies. Furthermore, we have noted that the exploration of this construct is relatively limited in terms of research locale, aims and purpose. Our findings provide a more coherent conceptualisation of the construct. The multidimensionality of teacher isolation offers a better framework for understanding it and presents critical implications for practice and future research.

Authors: Wu Hao 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTIn this day and age, there is a need to create a modernised educational system, as well as to preserve and popularise the classical traditions of high art. Thus, it is important to study the problem of shaping professional academic singers in Europe and China. The purpose of this study was to explore the methods of developing the vocal apparatus of European and Chinese students in 21st century. This system includes a series of leading components responsible for preserving unique timbres, expanding the capabilities of the voice, and the reflection of Western and Eastern cultures. The following methods were used in the study: questionnaire, analysis, comparison and synthesis. The study involved 100 students from institutions and universities in Ukraine and China. Having studied modern methods of training singers, the authors have established the components of professional vocal education in China and Ukraine, as well as the common student training characteristics. The distinctive properties of the European and Chinese professional vocal schools manifested in national traditions were also determined. The results of the conducted student survey allowed academic vocal teachers to identify progressive vocal training methods commonly used in China and Europe.

AbstractBackground and purposeHealth disparities and inequities are an important and too long overlooked public health concern worldwide. These differences in health and health care can affect people with any disease, including neurological disorders. The aim of this systematic review is to provide an updated overview of the main health inequities faced by neurological patients worldwide, to plan valuable interventions.MethodsMain databases were searched systematically. Quality was assessed with the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. This review followed the standard guidelines of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses.ResultsA total of 1797 studies were obtained, of which 49 studies were included in the final round and subjected to quality appraisal. Quality assessment yielded scores ranging from 20% to 100%. The results were divided based on the nature of inequities: (i) socioeconomic disadvantage (n = 25); and (ii) access to care, treatment, and services inequities (n = 24). Most studies were conducted in high income counties (n = 46, 93.8%) and reported health inequities in persons with cerebrovascular diseases, especially stroke (n = 20, 40.8%), followed by multiple sclerosis (n = 8, 16.3%) and neurodegenerative disorders (n = 6, 12.2%).ConclusionsRacial and ethnic discrimination, economic issues, differences in disease management, educational level, and place of residence are the main inequities reported by neurological patients. The USA dominates the research panorama (n = 36, 73.4%), highlighting the need for more studies that cover other geopolitical contexts. Improving population health means improving health for everyone; however, historically disadvantaged groups continue to trail dramatically behind, and actions are needed to reduce the inequities.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTContext‐awareness is increasingly recognised as a fundamental principle in the development of ubiquitous computing and ambient intelligence. By leveraging contextual data about users and their environments, systems can gain a deeper understanding of the evolving user situation. This empowers them to dynamically adapt their operations, leading to optimised resource utilisation, enhanced decision‐making, and ultimately, greater user satisfaction. However, a critical challenge lies in effectively representing user situations with a high degree of expressiveness. While ontology‐based data models have emerged as a promising approach due to their ability to handle the inherent heterogeneity of context information, existing ontologies have limitations in terms of information coverage, data heterogeneity and uncertainties consideration, and reusability across various application domains. This paper addresses these limitations by proposing uCSN, an ontology that builds upon and extends the Data Privacy Vocabulary (DPV), Semantic Sensor Network (SSN) and W3C Uncertainty ontologies, to provide a rich and expressive vocabulary for representing diverse user situations. We evaluate uCSN based on its consistency, accuracy, clarity and performance.

Authors: Liu Xiaoyan , Jia Shuang , Zhang Chunqian 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTObjectiveDrawing on family communication patterns theory, introducing psychological capital and liking of school, this study explores the effect of family communication patterns on university student networking behavior.BackgroundIndividuals can establish, maintain, and develop social networks through a series of proactive networking behaviors, effectively leveraging their position within these social networks. In terms of resource acquisition, the utility of networking behaviors is not inferior to an individual's social network position. Therefore, networking behaviors have received extensive attention from scholars, but research on networking behaviors of college students on campus is limited.MethodMultiwave data were collected from 191 Chinese university students. Path analysis and bootstrapping methods were used to analyze data.Results and ConclusionWe found that conversation orientation positively related to psychological capital. Psychological capital is positively related to networking behavior and mediates the effect of conversation orientation on networking behavior. Furthermore, liking of school moderates the effect of psychological capital on networking behavior and the indirect effect of conversation orientation on networking behavior through psychological capital, whereby the two effects are stronger when liking of school is high.ImplicationsThe conclusion expands the research on family communication patterns and networking behavior on campus and provides practical enlightenment for parents and universities to improve college students' networking behavior on campus.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTThe reloading characteristics of slope projects such as water conservancy and hydropower in cold regions after excavation and unloading are the key to the long‐term stability problem of bank slopes in reservoirs. After pre‐peak unloading and freeze–thaw, uniaxial gradient loading creep test was carried out with marble, and the unloading creep mechanical behavior of marble under different temperature ranges and different numbers of freeze–thaw cycles was studied. The results show that the temperature range of freeze–thaw and the number of cycles control the reduction of creep damage stress and long‐term strength as well as the increasing trend of creep strain of marble, and the time‐mechanical response of unloaded marble under the action of freeze–thaw with large temperature difference is more obvious. Based on the traditional Burgers model, a non‐constant Burgers model considering freeze–thaw damage was proposed, and the applicability and rationality of the model were verified.

Published: November 2024

AimFrailty is highly prevalent in old age and is associated with a high risk of mortality. Few studies have evaluated frailty as a predictor of mortality in the oldest old. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aims to determine the mortality risk associated with frailty in this age group.MethodsAn electronic systemic literature search was performed in May 2023 on three databases (Medline/PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library) for studies investigating the risk of mortality with frailty. A meta‐analysis was done to calculate pooled mortality estimates.ResultsFrail participants had significantly lower overall survival (OS) compared with non‐frail participants (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.81; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.32 to 2.50; P < 0.01, I2 = 100%; risk ratio [RR]: 4.15; 95% CI: 2.50 to 6.88; P < 0.01, I2 = 97%). Among participants aged 90 and above, a higher percentage of male participants was associated with poorer OS in frail participants. While the pooled association of frailty with OS remained significant across studies in participants aged less than 90 years old (HR: 2.09; 95% CI: 1.55 to 2.82; I2 = 75%), frailty was not significantly associated with OS in studies for participants aged 90 and above. The pooled association of frailty with OS was only significant for the Fried Frailty Phenotype (HR: 2.73; 95% CI: 1.05 to 7.12; I2 = 93%) and not for the Frailty Index. The pooled association also remained significant among studies that adjusted for age (HR: 1.74; 95% CI: 1.50 to 2.02; I2 = 0%) and sex (HR: 1.77; 95% CI: 1.48 to 2.11; I2 = 94%) as a covariate.ConclusionsFrailty was significantly associated with a poorer OS in participants below the age of 90. This association was not statistically significant in those older than 90 years, with sex‐differentiated effects observed. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2025; 25: 102–107.

Authors: Andrew Sean , Currie Suzanne , Morash Andrea Jane 
Published: November 2024

AbstractWarmer and more variable temperatures have been implicated in the recent decline of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in Eastern Canada. To date, we know little on how ecologically relevant thermal fluctuations affect swimming performance in fishes. The goal of this study is to determine the effects of warm versus cool diel thermal variability on swimming efficiency and the speed limit for sustainable aerobically fueled swimming. We acclimated wild S. salar juveniles to a cool and a warm ecologically realistic diel thermal profile (16–21 and 19–24°C), and then tested individuals over a common acute change in temperature (16–24°C). We measured metabolic rate and swimming kinematics at a range of swimming speeds, at five temperatures (16, 18, 20, 22, and 24°C) and calculated swimming efficiency. Our temperature acclimation did not appear to significantly affect energetic and kinematic swimming efficiency, but acute exposure to high temperature did increase overall metabolic rate. It appears that wild S. salar can swim efficiently and sustainably during both acute cool and warm exposures, and after acclimation to diel thermal variation of 16–21 or 19–24°C.

AbstractBackground and AimOnly a few studies have investigated the efficacy and safety of different durations of vonoprazan and amoxicillin (VA) high‐dose dual therapy for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori. We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of 10 days versus 14 days of VA high‐dose dual therapy for H. pylori eradication.MethodsThis study was conducted in 14 centers in China. A total of 250 patients infected with H. pylori were randomly assigned to Group VA‐10 or VA‐14. Both groups received the VA dual therapy (vonoprazan 20 mg twice daily + amoxicillin 1000 mg three times daily). The primary endpoint was the H. pylori eradication rate. Secondary endpoints included adverse events and patient compliance.ResultsGroup VA‐10 achieved eradication rates of 89.60%, 91.06%, and 91.67% as determined by the intention‐to‐treat (ITT), modified intention‐to‐treat (MITT), and per‐protocol (PP) analysis, respectively. The eradication rates were similar to those in Group VA‐14: 91.20%, 93.44%, and 93.39%. The difference and 90% confidence interval boundary −1.60% (−7.73% to 4.53%) in the ITT analysis, −2.39% (−8.00% to 3.23%) in the MITT analysis, and −1.72% (−7.29% to 3.85%) in the PP analysis were greater than the predefined noninferiority margin of −10%, establishing a noninferiority of Group VA‐10 versus Group VA‐14 (noninferiority P = 0.001 in ITT analysis, P < 0.001 in MITT analysis, and P < 0.001 in PP analysis, respectively). No significant differences were observed in adverse events between the two groups.ConclusionsTen‐day VA dual therapy achieves comparable efficacy and safety to the 14‐day regimen in Chinese population, providing patients with greater convenience and economic benefits.

AbstractAimTo determine the effect of maternal egg consumption during lactation on the development of egg allergies in 12‐month‐old infants. We hypothesized that infants whose mothers consume larger amounts of eggs during the early lactation period acquire oral immune tolerance and are less likely to develop egg allergies at 12 months.MethodsThis study was a part of the Japan Pregnancy Eating and Activity Cohort Study. Mothers answered questionnaires on egg consumption, breastfeeding rates at 1 month, infants' eczema at 6 months, and the development of egg allergies among infants at 12 months. In order to assess the actual impact of maternal egg consumption on infants' egg allergy development, breastfeeding‐dependent egg consumption was calculated at 1 month by multiplying maternal egg consumption at 1 month with the breastfeeding rates at the same time. Logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the potential risk and protective factors.ResultsData from 420 infants were analyzed, of whom 27 had egg allergies at 12 months. No significant impact of breastfeeding‐dependent egg consumption was observed on infants' egg allergy development at 12 months. However, infants with eczema at 6 months showed a greater risk of developing an egg allergy at 12 months (adjusted odds ratio, 3.59; 95% confidence interval, 1.59–8.13).ConclusionThe results suggest that breastfeeding‐dependent egg consumption at 1 month did not contribute to sufficient oral immune tolerance in 12‐month‐old infants. Eczema at 6 months significantly impacted the development of an egg allergy, emphasizing the importance of preventing cutaneous exposure to egg allergens.

Published: November 2024

AbstractAdolescence is the peak period for the occurrence of mental health issues, particularly in the stage of junior high school. Depressive symptoms are among the most frequently experienced psychological problems. However, little is known about the symptom‐level interaction features of depressive symptoms and the roles of different symptoms across the junior high school stage. To address these gaps, this study conducted a three‐year longitudinal study that recruited 1301 Chinese junior high school adolescents (48.2% females; mean age = 12.46 ± 0.62, ranging from 11 to 14 in the first year). The Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale was used to assess depressive symptoms. The regularized partial correlation network and the cross‐lagged panel network models were used to explore the symptom‐level interaction pattern. In regularized partial correlation networks, “I felt depressed” was a stable central symptom throughout the junior high school stage. Besides, “I felt lonely” and “I felt that people disliked me” were the other central symptoms in grade 7 and grade 8, and “I felt everything I did was an effort” played a central role in grade 9. Within cross‐lagged panel networks, “I felt that people disliked me” and “I felt hopeless about the future” had important effects on predicting other depressive symptoms from grade 7 to 8 and from grade 8 to 9. By investigating the longitudinal interaction patterns of depressive symptoms among junior high school adolescents, the current study identifies core symptoms that could be potential prevention or intervention targets and provides a novel insight for understanding depressive symptoms during adolescence in depth.
How preschool education perpetuates social inequality: An ethnographic study of the practical conditions of symbolic violence
Authors: Croizet Jean‐Claude , Millet Mathias 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis article presents an ethnographic study conducted in French pre‐kindergarten and kindergarten classrooms, investigating how education establishes and reinforces relations of sociocultural dominance. Building on Bourdieu and Passeron's concept of symbolic violence, we seek to uncover the mechanisms through which school socialization encourages the acceptance of the hierarchies it generates. The data suggest that this persuasion relies on set of interrelated processes: Schools organize the unequal profitability of family cultural practices and knowledge, obscure the realities of learning, and foster a meritocratic myth that naturalizes these inequalities. Moreover, children actively participate in their own subordination without realizing it. By documenting these processes, the study provides critical insights into how everyday schooling practices not only perpetuate social inequalities but also shape early on the idea that students form of themselves as both students and individuals and intensify concerns about self‐worth.
A sensitive and reliable method for the quantitative determination of hydrogen peroxide produced by microalgae cells
Authors: Hejna Monika , Kapuścińska Dominika , Aksmann Anna 
Published: November 2024

AbstractOne of the reactive forms of oxygen is hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which has been investigated as a key component of growth processes and stress responses. Different methods for the determination of H2O2 production by animal and bacterial cells exist; however, its detection in algal cell cultures is more complicated due to the presence of photosynthetic pigments in the cells and the complex structure of cell walls. Considering these issues, a reliable, quick, and simple method for H2O2 detection is needed in phycological research. The aim of this methodological study was to optimize an Amplex UltraRed method for the fluorometric detection of H2O2 produced by microalgae cells, using a wild‐type strain of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as a model. The results showed that (i) potassium phosphate is the most suitable reaction buffer for this method, (ii) a 560 nm wavelength variant is the most appropriate as the excitation wavelength for fluorescence spectra measurement, (iii) a 50:50 ratio for the reaction mixture to sample was the most suitable, (iv) the fluorescence signal was significantly influenced by the density of the microalgae biomass, and (v) sample fortification with H2O2 allowed for an increase of the method's reliability and repeatability. The proposed protocol of the Amplex UltraRed method for the fluorometric detection of H2O2 produced by microalgae cells can yield a sensitive and accurate determination of the content of the test compound, minimizing measurement errors, eliminating chlorophyll autofluorescence problem, and compensating for the matrix effect. This method can be applied to the study of other microalgae species.
