AbstractDespite documented associations between childhood area-level socioeconomic status (SES), residential mobility and health, studies in this domain rarely use lifecourse study designs. This study examined temporal patterns of four residential mobility typologies based on area-level SES exposure from birth to 16 years. We devised four main residential mobility typologies: advantaged stayers (remaining in high SES areas), disadvantaged stayers (remaining in low SES areas), advantaged or upward movers (moving between high SES areas or transitioning from low to high SES areas), and disadvantaged or downward movers (moving between low SES areas or transitioning from high to low SES areas). Secondly, the research examined selected sociodemographic characteristics associated with the residential mobility typologies and whether these associations varied by age. Data from the Christchurch Health and Development (CHDS) prospective birth cohort study were used to obtain individual (i.e., gender, ethnic) and family sociodemographic (i.e., family SES) characteristics, and home addresses from birth to 16 years. Geocoded home addresses were linked to area-level SES. Two-level multinomial logistic regression models examined associations between sociodemographic characteristics and residential mobility typologies and their variations by age. Disadvantaged stayers constituted over one-fifth of the cohort during most of childhood. Children with Māori ethnicity, younger mothers, family instability, and childhood adversity are more vulnerable to frequent moves coupled with exposure to low area-level SES. Our study paves the way for the exploration of childhood environmental exposures and later-life health within a spatial lifecourse epidemiology framework.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Considering data that suggests an overrepresentation of children/youth with disabilities in Residential Care Homes (RCH), placing them in a situation of accumulation of risk factors and increased vulnerability, this study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) focused on this target group. Research questions address prevalence rates, characteristics and outcomes of children/youth with disabilities in RCH; characteristics and practices of RCH, and evidence-based interventions; and recommendations to improve practices to support the development of quality indicators to improve the experience of children and young people with disabilities in RCH. Methodology followed PRISMA-P and the protocol was registered with PROSPERO. Five databases were used and 31 studies were included. Results demonstrate the need for clear definitions of disability to ensure consistent data and guide policymaking for RCH. Moreover, results show gaps in research on the experiences of children/youth with disabilities in RCH, and on specific interventions for this population. Based on the recommendations offered by the literature, this SLR contributes to the development of quality indicators that consider the needs of children/youth with disabilities in RCH and promote their participation in all areas of life.

Authors: Braet Filip , Cai Weidong 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
In modern biological microscopy, the explosion of data volume and complexity highlights the urgent need for specialised data management support roles. While traditional microscopy focuses on visual data presentation, the rapid increase in big data acquisition and data mining demands advanced handling and analysis. This gap underscores the need for “dry lab microscopists” or data experts skilled in microscopy data management, software interoperability, and AI-driven solutions. Job markets reflect this demand, pointing to the necessity for dedicated training programs. Integrating these specialists into research institutions is crucial for addressing digital data challenges and maintaining high standards in data integrity and analysis. Their role is essential for advancing research in the data-driven era.
Impact of school leadership on reading literacy in rural China: the differentiated models of principals’ self-report and teachers’ report
Authors: Zhu Haixue , Li Ling , Li Hui 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThe impact of school leadership (SL) on reading literacy (RL) has been extensively examined using either principals' self-reports or teachers' reports. However, principals and teachers might have divergent, even contradictory, views on the path from SL to RL. Therefore, this study aimed to explore and compare the principals’ self-reported and teachers’ reported models with teacher commitment (TC) as a mediator and collaborative culture (CC) as a moderator of the relationship between SL and RL. Whole group sampling was employed to sample the 106 junior middle schools in City X from western China. About 841 teachers from 80 classes/schools were successfully matched with their 3134 students (Mage = 14.84, SD = 0.74, female = 1673, male = 1461), and about 34 principals from 34 classes/schools were matched with their 1223 students (Mage = 15.35, SD = 1.28, female = 647, 52.9%; male = 576, 47.1%). The results indicated that: (1) there were significant differences between principals’ self-reports and teachers’ reports regarding SL and RL; (2) the direct impact of SL on RL was found in the principals' self-reports but not in the teachers’ reports; and (3) an indirect effect of SL on RL with TC as the mediator and CC as the moderator was found in the teachers' report model. The distinctive models in this study demonstrate principals' and teachers' different views on SL's impact on RL and provide empirical evidence to support both the original and the revised Claim # 1.

Abstract
Quantum computing (QC) and machine learning (ML), taken individually or combined into quantum-assisted ML (QML), are ascending computing paradigms whose calculations come with huge potential for speedup, increase in precision, and resource reductions. Likely improvements for numerical simulations in engineering imply the possibility of a strong economic impact on the manufacturing industry. In this project report, we propose a framework for a quantum computing-enhanced service ecosystem for simulation in manufacturing, consisting of various layers ranging from hardware to algorithms to service and organizational layers. In addition, we give insight into the current state of the art of applications research based on QC and QML, both from a scientific and an industrial point of view. We further analyze two high-value use cases with the aim of a quantitative evaluation of these new computing paradigms for industrially relevant settings.

Published: October 2024

AbstractIn this paper, we delve into the profound ramifications of noise on qubit teleportation between the esteemed figures of Alice and Bob, ruthlessly quantifying the negativity and distance of the transmitted information. Through the invocation of an audacious modification to the Hamiltonian of the Jaynes–Cummings model, incorporating the ferocious power of a kicked cavity and ultra-short laser pulses, we unleash a tempest that unrelentingly shapes the entanglement and quality of the teleported information. Moreover, we fearlessly venture into the treacherous territory of noisy channels, including the formidable adversaries of phase flip and double phase flip channels, as they mercilessly assail the teleported state, engendered by the tumultuous interaction within the unforgiving depths of the kicked cavity, only to be met with our resolute projection.

Published: October 2024

AbstractTypha domingensis (cattails) is an emergent invasive aquatic macrophyte; it belongs to Typhaceae family inhabiting multiple Egyptian water bodies like rivers, lakes, and wetlands. Due to the scarcity of food, the depletion of fossil fuels, population growth, and increased industrial development, sustainable renewable bioenergy production has gained a lot of attention lately. Typha is an excellent lignocellulosic biomass for biofuel production because it does not compete with food but rather endangers aquatic life and prevents water from flowing through drainage channels and canals, which rises evapotranspiration. Although it is beneficial in phytoremediation, its removal is a necessity due to previous reasons. Chemical pretreatment has been widely used to degrade complex chains of lignocellulosic materials. Enzymatic hydrolysis is used to enhance fermentable sugars production from cellulose. Fermentation process has been conducted by yeast for centuries. Saccharomyces cerevisiae tolerance to ethanol can be increased by mutation; it is induced either chemically, physically, or biologically. Geneticists frequently utilize gamma radiation, one of the physical mutagenesis mechanisms, to change the DNA of microorganisms. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) is concerned with examination and analysis of microstructure morphology and chemical composition. Changes in internal organelles of Saccharomyces cerevisiae after mutation has been tracked using transmission electron microscope (TEM) in order to distinguish between native and mutant yeast and to examine their ultrastructural changes.
Sustainable bioconversion of rice straw into indole-3-acetic acid by Streptomyces coelicoflavus using response surface methodology

Published: October 2024

AbstractRice straw is an abundant agricultural waste that poses environmental disposal challenges and can be utilized for biotechnological applications. This study investigates the potential of actinobacteria to enhance rice straw biodegradation and sustainable indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production, addressing the need for sustainable agricultural practices. Certain actinobacteria strains can effectively degrade rice straw while optimizing IAA production under controlled fermentation conditions. Twenty actinobacteria isolates were screened for lignocellulolytic enzyme activity, and ten were selected for rice straw biodegradation. IAA production was further optimized using response surface methodology based on temperature, pH, and agitation speed (RPM). Isolate S16 achieved a degradation rate of 68.75%, while S18 produced the highest IAA concentration (1040.625 μg/mL) under optimized conditions (25 °C, pH 9, 160 RPM). The purified IAA significantly improved Medicago sativa L. growth. Furthermore, the 16S rRNA gene sequence of isolate S18 was identified it as Streptomyces coelicoflavus strain NSH24 with accession number PP 320383.1. These findings underscore the potential of actinobacteria to efficiently convert agricultural waste into valuable bioproducts and promote sustainable farming practices. By transforming rice straw into high-value products like IAA, this approach contributes to a circular economy, offering an environmentally friendly solution for biomass utilization and agricultural sustainability.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Objectives
Socioeconomic status has a pervasive influence on one’s health and quality of life. Social support is known as a factor that can minimize the risk of maladaptive health outcomes while promoting greater quality of life. The purpose of this study was to examine the direct and indirect relationships between perceived socioeconomic status, social support, physical quality of life, and psychological quality of life among Black adults.

Methods
Participants were 304 (118 men, 186 women) adults who identified as African American or Black. Ages ranged from 18 to 75 (Mage = 37.62 years, SD = 12.39 years) and completed a battery of self-report questionnaires on perceived socioeconomic status, social support, physical quality of life, and psychological quality of life.

Results
Structural equation modeling analyses demonstrated that perceived socioeconomic status is associated with greater social support, physical quality of life, and psychological quality of life. Perceived socioeconomic status was also associated with higher physical quality of life and psychological quality of life indirectly through more social support.

Conclusions
These findings provide evidence that perceived socioeconomic status is directly associated with greater quality of life in Black adults. Social support acts as a partial mediator in the relationship between socioeconomic status and quality of life. This research brings to attention the influence that socioeconomic status and social support have on the quality of life of Black adults. These factors are of particular importance when considering social determinants of health in Black communities.
Exploring profiles of engagement in reading, numeracy, writing, and computer skills-use of U.S. adults with low literacy skills

Published: October 2024

AbstractThis study uses Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) data to examine latent profiles of engagement in reading, numeracy, writing, and computer skills-use for U.S. adults with low literacy skills. Additionally, we examine how these profiles relate to overall literacy performance and demographic heterogeneity. Results indicate five engagement profiles: High (8%), Average-High (44%), Average-Low (40%), and two generally Low profiles that are most differentiated on numeracy skills-use engagement (5.5%, 2%). High and Average-High engagement profiles had higher probabilities of adults scoring at a higher literacy level than the Average-Low profile and to a greater degree than the lowest engagement profile. Covariates of learning disability status, English speaker status, race, ethnicity, age, and educational attainment were also related to differences in literacy performance and skills-use engagement. Employment status was unrelated to differences in literacy performance and skills-use engagement. Generally, native English speakers, non-learning disabled adults, younger adults, those identifying as non-Hispanic and White, and adults with higher educational attainment (high school/some college and college degree or higher) had higher probabilities of higher literacy performance, particularly in the High and Average-High engagement profiles. Findings have implications for increasing skills-use engagement in daily life to increase literacy performance and suggest differences by demographic characteristics that may be of interest to adult foundational education programs.
Effect of Intercritical Austenitization and Starting Matrix on Martensite Start Temperature and Austenite Carbon Concentration in Ductile Iron
Authors: Machado Harold D. , Garcia-Mateo Carlos , Aristizábal-Sierra Ricardo 
Published: October 2024

AbstractIn this work, the effect of the intercritical austenitization temperature and time, Ni + Cu concentration and starting matrix (fully ferritic or fully pearlitic) on the volume fraction of austenite (fγ), martensite start temperature (Ms) and carbon concentration of the parent austenite (C0) in ductile iron was investigated using standard metallographic techniques and high-resolution dilatometry. The results showed that a fully pearlitic starting matrix gives higher fγ and C0 and lower Ms than a fully ferritic starting matrix at the same austenitization temperature under continuous heating. On the other hand, the austenitization time has an effect on the parameters under study only during the first minutes of intercritical austenitization. Finally, at the same intercritical austenitization temperature, the addition of Ni + Cu increases the volume fraction of austenite.

AbstractIn the present study, we examined the functional interrelationships between microRNAs and plant polyphenols in the regulation of ovarian cell functions. For this purpose, we compared the basic functions of porcine ovarian granulosa cells with or without transfection with miR-152 mimics that were cultured with or without quercetin. The expression levels of miR-152, cell viability, cell proliferation (accumulation of proliferating cell nuclear antigen, PCNA), apoptosis (accumulation of Bax) and the release of progesterone, estradiol, and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) were analyzed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‒qPCR), the Trypan blue exclusion test, quantitative immunocytochemistry, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). Transfection of cells with miR-152 mimics increased miR-152 expression, reduced cell viability, proliferation, apoptosis, and estradiol output, and promoted the release of progesterone and IGF-I. Quercetin decreased all measured parameters. Moreover, quercetin promoted the effect of miR-152 on cell viability, apoptosis, and estradiol and mitigated the effect of miR-152 on cell proliferation and IGF-I output. For instance, miR-152 mimics promoted the effect of quercetin on cell viability, apoptosis, and estradiol but prevented the effect of quercetin on PCNA. These observations demonstrated the involvement of miR-152 and quercetin in the control of ovarian cell functions and their functional interrelationships, mainly synergism, in the regulation of these functions.
Representation and inequalities involving continuous linear functionals and fractional derivatives
Authors: Jornet Marc , Nieto Juan J. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
We investigate how continuous linear functionals can be represented in terms of generic operators and certain kernels (Peano kernels), and we study lower bounds for the operators as a consequence, in the space of square-integrable functions. We apply and develop the theory for the Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative (an inverse of the Riemann–Liouville integral), where inequalities are derived with the Gaussian hypergeometric function. This work is inspired by the recent contributions by Fernandez and Buranay (J Comput Appl Math 441:115705, 2024) and Jornet (Arch Math, 2024).

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Modern society witnessed a remarkable surge in urban mobility with the proliferation of micro-mobility sharing services. However, this transformation has also led to a worrisome increase in severe accidents and injured users. In addition, conventional helmets are significantly lacking in sustainability. This research investigates the feasibility and safety aspects of a novel bicycle helmet concept using cork as a protective liner. In comparison to traditional synthetic foams, cork offers eco-friendly advantages, such as recyclability and superior protection against multiple impacts. The newly proposed helmet is designed to provide enhanced sustainability and convenience, maintaining compliance with the EN 1078:2012+A1 standard whilst offering the capability to flatten for easy storage and transportation. Numerical simulations were conducted to optimise the design concept, and impact tests, in accordance with the European standard, were performed using physical prototypes categorised into three types of design configuration. The results from the standard impact test were outstanding, with the best performing configuration demonstrating a performance 36.8% below the standard’s threshold. This falls within the average performance range of a regular bicycle helmet made entirely of petrol-derived materials. Furthermore, it exhibited safe head injury criterion levels, indicating a minimal risk of severe head injury.
Advances in the use of dexmedetomidine for postoperative cognitive dysfunction
Authors: Deng Meng , Wang Yuan , Zheng Beibei 
Published: October 2024

AbstractPostoperative cognitive dysfunction, a common neurological complication in the perioperative period, seriously affects patient survival and prognosis. Its high incidence has made the study of postoperative cognitive dysfunction challenging. Whether the clinical application of dexmedetomidine, a potential neuroprotective drug, can reduce the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction is controversial, although several potential mechanisms by which dexmedetomidine improves postoperative cognitive dysfunction have been identified; therefore, this remains an area in need of further exploration.
A next-generation holistic building design framework: a focus on integrating sustainable and vernacular design principles
Authors: Ayoobi Ahmad Walid , Inceoğlu Mehmet , Inceoğlu Gonca 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThe proliferation of sustainable design approaches and assessment methods has resulted in a vast array of indicators. However, this abundance often leads to confusion during interpretation and application. Additionally, rapid urbanization and environmental concerns sometimes overshadow social and economic considerations, emphasizing environmental impact reduction. This study addresses these challenges through an integrated approach that combines a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with a Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) analysis to provide a holistic model for sustainable building design. The SLR was carried out individually through a relative Structural Query Language (SQL) regarding sustainable building design and vernacular principle. The output of SLR was subjected to DEMATEL model to recognize the holistic indicators interconnection and validate the proposed model. The research identified 23 global indicators for building sustainability worldwide, with five—Energy, Materials & Resources, Sites & Ecology, Indoor Environmental Quality, and Water—emerging as the most prevalent. Additionally, 22 consistently applied indicators in vernacular design practices exhibited significant overlap with those in sustainable design. This model integrated two novel indicators—Vernacular Principles and Social—Culture—with common sustainable building indicators. These primary indicators complement the common and applicable sustainable building indicators, ensuring a balanced approach that considers global contexts. DEMATEL analysis confirmed the validity and interconnection of these indicators, emphasizing the critical role of vernacular principles in achieving true sustainability.
