The Hidden Forces Driving Youth Participation in Climate Policy Among Korean Youth
Authors: Kang Woonsun 
Published: November 2024

Objective: This research explores the determinants influencing youth engagement in climate change policy, focusing on the roles of awareness, concern, self-efficacy, attitudes, and personal norms in shaping policy participation intentions. Additionally, it examines the mediating effects of concern, efficacy, attitudes, and personal norms within the relationship between awareness and intention.

Theoretical Framework: The research framework integrates the Theory of Planned Behavior, Risk Perception Theory, and Social Cognitive Theory, providing a multi-faceted perspective on the motivations for youth climate policy participation.

Method: Applying structural equation modeling (SEM) with a phantom model approach, this study analyzes survey data from 600 adolescents aged 14 to 19. The phantom model approach enables a precise evaluation of both direct and indirect pathways, allowing for the re-specification of indirect effects as total effects in independent models, yielding robust estimates and confidence intervals across mediation pathways.

Results and Discussion: The findings indicate that awareness alone does not directly catalyze intentions to participate. Instead, significant indirect effects are observed, with concern, efficacy, attitudes, and personal norms acting as critical mediators. This intricate interaction highlights the importance of fostering these psychological dimensions to facilitate youth engagement in climate policy efforts.

Research Implications: The study’s outcomes offer actionable insights for the development of climate education and policy initiatives that bolster youth agency. By cultivating self-efficacy and constructive attitudes, these programs may enhance youth contributions to climate governance.

Originality/Value: This study advances understanding of youth engagement in climate policy by examining a comprehensive model in which awareness shapes intentions indirectly through mediators such as concern, efficacy, attitudes, and personal norms.

The main objective of this article is to approach the task environment and the factors influencing the performance of firms in the BRICS countries during the recovery period after the 2008 financial crisis and the modeling of the effects of the task environment, market power, and competitive position of firms on performance. Partial Least Squares modeling was used to estimate the model parameters, and the sample is composed of companies in the manufacturing industry of the BRICS countries, in the period from 2012 to 2017. The key results are that market power and competitive position influence firm performance, and the task environment doesnot significantly influence competitive position, market power, and performance. Firms that increase their market power and improve their competitive position tend to perform better in different macroeconomic environments and degrees of competition.
Envisioning Ecofeminism and Youth Activism in Saving Sorya and Saving H'Non
Authors: Anderson Brianna 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Girl activism takes center stage in Trang Nguyễn and Jeet Zdung's comics Saving Sorya: Chang and the Sun Bear and Saving H'Non: Chang and the Elephant. The narratives follow Chang, a young conservationist, as she rehabilitates an orphaned sun bear and an abused elephant. The series diverts from conventional depictions of exceptional girl eco-heroes by emphasizing the importance of collaboration, grassroots initiatives, and environmental education. Moreover, the comics promote ecofeminist perspectives by highlighting the connections between environmental degradation, gendered violence, and social inequities. I explore how Nguyễn and Zdung use the multimodal comics form to promote ecofeminist values and educate young readers about global environmental issues. I also analyze how the comics invite readers to engage in transnational advocacy by modeling youth activism and providing resources.

Multimodal treatment paradigm for unstaged resection of a large cystic brain metastasis: illustrative case
Authors: Gharibi Loron Ali , Webb Kevin L. , Burns Terry C. 
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND
The management of cystic brain metastases remains challenging, with high recurrence rates following treatment with resection and/or stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). Tumor resection and adjuvant radiation provide superior outcomes in comparison to those for each therapy alone, but large cystic tumor en bloc removal is difficult. Cyst aspiration can be used to decrease the radiation target volume, enabling safer delivery of a therapeutic radiation dose with improved local tumor control. However, cysts can rapidly recur following aspiration. Herein, the authors present a case in which cyst aspiration, radiation, and resection were combined within a single procedure.

OBSERVATIONS
During a single anesthesia episode, a 70-year-old female underwent stereotactic cyst aspiration, single-fraction SRS, and resection of a 3.7-cm cystic temporal lobe breast metastasis. The lesion volume exceeded 40 cm3 before cyst aspiration, decreasing by 62.5% afterward.

LESSONS
Definitive management of large cystic brain metastases including aspiration, radiation, and resection is feasible under a single anesthesia session. This approach, compared to traditional management, could help minimize challenges associated with large cystic lesions, including recurrence and/or radiation necrosis.

Desmoplastic myxoid tumor of the pineal region, SMARCB1 mutant: illustrative case
Authors: Zhou Chengbin , Zhang Benyan , Wang Baofeng , Sun Yuhao , Bian Liuguan 
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND
Desmoplastic myxoid tumor (DMT) of the pineal region, SMARCB1 mutant is a newly proposed tumor in the 2021 World Health Organization classification of central nervous system tumors. Based on a comprehensive literature review, only 10 cases have been reported so far.

OBSERVATIONS
Here, the authors describe a 50-year-old female who presented with sudden headache and dizziness combined with paralysis of upward gaze. Imaging studies showed a pineal region mass with obstructive hydrocephalus. The patient underwent a pineal region tumor resection, and the pathological result confirmed the diagnosis of DMT, SMARCB1 mutant.

LESSONS
This case showed a patient with DMT, SMARCB1 mutant with a relatively low Ki-67 proliferation index (less than 1%), clinically combined with typical Parinaud’s syndrome. At the same time, the follow-up of this case may provide a better understanding of the prognosis of this specific kind of tumor.

Laser interstitial thermal therapy for treatment of a recurrent skull base chordoma: illustrative case
Authors: Chow William D. , Lehman Vance T. , Gompel Jamie J. Van 
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND
The authors applied laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) to a recurrent skull base chordoma, which has not been previously described.

OBSERVATIONS
A 63-year-old man was initially diagnosed with an 8-cm destructive clival chordoma, which was aggressively resected endoscopically but recurred despite multiple operations, proton radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. The patient underwent uncomplicated LITT for a subtemporal mass, which palliated the tumor for 10 months. However, it did not ultimately prevent the need for resection, although it may have delayed the surgery.

LESSONS
This case study demonstrates the feasibility and safety of LITT in treating these typically surgically challenging tumors.
