AbstractBrief, low‐cost growth mindset interventions improving academic‐related outcomes can be valuable. However, less is known regarding their effectiveness on learning motivation, behaviors, and academic performance in non‐Western cultures like China. This study aimed to examine the effects of a single‐session growth mindset intervention on Chinese junior secondary students during the COVID‐19 pandemic. We recruited 618 Chinese junior secondary school students from two schools and cluster‐randomly assigned them to be the intervention school (n = 311) or the control school (n = 307). Data was collected during the fall semester of 2019 and the spring semester of 2020. Compared with the control school, students in the intervention school reported stronger growth mindset (partial η2 = 0.02, p < .001), academic self‐efficacy (partial η2 = 0.02, p < .001), study engagement (partial η2 = 0.01, p = .041), and improved Chinese performance (partial η2 = 0.07, p < .001), with lower helpless attributions (partial η2 = 0.03, p < .001) over time. The intervention had direct and indirect effects (i.e., via the growth mindset) on helpless attributions and academic self‐efficacy, with an indirect effect on study engagement.The results support the effectiveness of the brief growth mindset intervention.
Effects of age on accuracy of advanced imaging modalities in identifying intervertebral disc extrusions in Dachshunds

Published: November 2024

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to ascertain whether patient age was a significant factor for the accurate identification of compressive intervertebral disc extrusions (IVDE) in Dachshunds using non‐contrast computed tomography (CT).MethodsThis retrospective analysis encompassed 150 Dachshunds evaluated for suspected IVDE at a referral hospital in south‐eastern Queensland, Australia. Each case underwent diagnostic evaluation by CT, either with or without myelography, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), followed by surgical intervention for an intervertebral disc extrusion.ResultsIn the <9‐year dog cohort, 94.7% (71/75) were diagnosed with IVDE via non‐contrast CT and proceeded to surgery. In contrast, the ≥9‐year dog cohort, only 56% (42/75) were diagnosed via non‐contrast CT, with the remaining 44% (33/75) necessitating CT myelography or MRI for diagnosis. The odds of requiring CT myelography or MRI increased 13.95‐fold (95% CI, 4.62–42.13) in Dachshunds aged 9 years or older. Furthermore, each additional year of age was associated with a 0.60 increase in the odds of undergoing these advanced imaging modalities (CT myelography or MRI) (95% CI, 0.49–0.74).ConclusionsAge significantly affected the efficacy of non‐contrast CT in diagnosing IVDE in Dachshunds. Dogs aged 9 years and above were substantially more likely to require CT myelography or MRI due to the reduced visibility of disc extrusions on non‐contrast CT. Veterinarians performing advanced imaging on older Dachshunds for suspected IVDE should be aware of the limitations of non‐contrast CT in obtaining an accurate diagnosis and localisation of IVDE, and be prepared to perform either CT myelography or MRI if required.
Ethical considerations for non‐procreative uterus transplantation
Authors: Lee J. Y. 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe growing demand for uterus transplantation (UTx) invites continued philosophical evaluation of the function of UTx (and what constitutes its ‘success’), as well as the recipient eligibility for UTx. Currently, UTx caters to partnered, cisgender women of childbearing age looking to get pregnant and give birth to a biogenetically related child. The medical justification for this—the treatment of uterine infertility—explains the primacy of this practice. However, this dominant conceptualization of UTx does not necessarily capture the diverse needs for which both cis‐ and transgender women might take interest in UTx that are not strictly procreative, such as bodily integrity and gender identity reasons. In this paper, I argue that non‐procreative motivations for uterus acquisition ought to be taken seriously as a matter of non‐discrimination and consistency.
Two‐year‐olds selectively seek help, but not based on helper maturity

Published: November 2024

AbstractHelp‐seeking is a strategy by which children signal their need for social learning. In three experiments, we examined when and from whom 2‐year‐old (N = 146 children; mean age = 31.4 months) US children from diverse ethnoracial and economic backgrounds (62% White; 9% Latine; 24% low‐income) seek help in problem‐solving contexts. In Experiment 1, children sought more help when unfamiliar (and thus unable to solve) than when familiar with a problem. In Experiment 2, children selectively sought help from knowledgeable as opposed to ignorant helpers. Against our prediction, children in neither experiment preferred mature (adult) over immature (infant or peer) helpers. In Experiment 3, children again did not prefer mature over immature helpers when helpers were depicted with realistic photos instead of line drawings (as in Experiments 1 and 2). We discuss the findings in relation to children's knowledge of their status as social learners.

AbstractPurposeExamine the development, implementation and evaluation of just‐in‐time adaptive interventions (JITAIs) in behaviour change and evaluate the quality of intervention reporting.MethodsA scoping review of JITAIs incorporating mobile health (mHealth) technologies to improve health‐related behaviours in adults. We searched MEDLINE, Embase and PsycINFO using terms related to JITAIs, mHealth, behaviour change and intervention methodology. Narrative analysis assessed theoretical foundations, real‐time data capturing and processing methods, outcome evaluation and summarized JITAI efficacy. Quality of intervention reporting was assessed using the template for intervention description and replication (TIDieR) checklist.ResultsSixty‐two JITAIs across physical activity, sedentary behaviour, dietary behaviour, substance use, sexual behaviour, fluid intake, treatment adherence, social skills, gambling behaviour and self‐management skills were included. The majority (71%) aimed to evaluate feasibility, acceptability and/or usability. Supporting evidence for JITAI development was identified in 46 studies, with 67% applying this to develop tailored intervention content. Over half (55%) relied solely on self‐reported data for tailoring, and 13 studies used only passive monitoring data. While data processing methods were commonly reported, 44% did not specify their techniques. 89% of JITAI designs achieved full marks on the TIDieR checklist and provided sufficient details on JITAI components. Overall, JITAIs proved to be feasible, acceptable and user‐friendly across behaviours and settings. Randomized trials showed tailored interventions were efficacious, though outcomes varied by behaviour.ConclusionsJITAIs offer a promising approach to developing personalized interventions, with their potential effects continuously growing. The recommended checklist emphasizes the importance of reporting transparency in establishing robust intervention designs.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTObjectivesThis retrospective study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes associated with zygomatic implant (ZI) rehabilitation in partially atrophic edentulous maxillae over a mean follow‐up period of more than 10.3 years.MethodsAll consecutive patients underwent ZI rehabilitation between 1999 and 2020, with a minimum follow‐up period of 3 years. The primary outcome was the implant survaival rate. Secondary outcomes included the prosthesis success rate, complications, and Oral Health‐Related Quality of Life.ResultsOf the 21 patients, treated with 27 ZIs and 48 conventional implants (CIs), 9 (42.9%) were females. The mean follow‐up was 10.3 ± 5.7 years (range 3.2–23.4). ZI and CI survival rates were 100% and 97.9%, respectively, with one CI that failed. Eleven patients received 12 CIs placed in the pterygoid and tuberosity region. Most of the implants (81.33%) were immediately loaded, with 17 patients (80.9%) receiving 21 acrylic bridges. Of the total of 26 definitive prosthesis, the success rate was 96.1%. Local inflammation (n = 2) and soft tissue recession (n = 1) were reported as complications, occurring at a mean follow‐up of 4.5 and 3.2 years, respectively. The mean score of the OHIP‐14 questionnaire was 1.19 ± 1.99.ConclusionsUnilateral ZI rehabilitation was a predictable option for patients with partially atrophic edentulous maxilla who have experienced previous graft or implant failures, or who require immediate loading. Splinting the ZI with CI for restoration appeared to be essential in unilateral ZI treatment. Complications were infrequent and could be managed effectively, with patient‐reported outcomes indicating normalization in quality of life.

ObjectiveWhether metal stents (MS) or plastic stents (PS) yield better outcomes for malignant biliary obstruction in endoscopic ultrasound‐guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS‐HGS) is controversial. We aimed to compare outcomes of initial EUS‐HGS performed with MS or PS.MethodsIn this single‐center retrospective study, we included patients (MS/PS groups: n = 151/72) with unresectable malignant biliary obstruction and performed multivariable analysis. The landmark date was defined as day 100 and used to evaluate the time to recurrent biliary obstruction (TRBO).ResultsThe clinical success rate was similar in both groups. The mean total bilirubin percentage decrease at week 2 was significantly higher in the MS group than in the PS group (−45.1% vs. −23.7%, P = 0.016). Median TRBO was significantly different between the MS and PS groups (183 and 92 days, respectively; P = 0.017). TRBO within 100 days was comparable in both groups but was significantly shorter only after 100 days in the PS group (adjusted hazard ratio 12.8, P < 0.001). Adverse events were significantly more common in the MS group (23.8% vs. 9.7%, P = 0.012), although they occurred relatively frequently even with PS in the cholangitis subgroup (Pinteraction = 0.034). After endoscopic re‐intervention, TRBO tended to be longer with revision PS (hazard ratio 0.40, P = 0.47).ConclusionsAlthough MS provided early improvement of jaundice and long stent patency, PS provided a better safety profile and comparable stent patency until 100 days. PS might also be an adequate and optimal palliation method in EUS‐HGS.

AbstractBackgroundThe role of sex in choosing between coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) disease has gained interest.MethodsRandomized controlled trials and adjusted observational studies comparing PCI versus CABG in ULMCA patients with outcomes by sex were included. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), with secondary endpoints being all‐cause mortality and repeated revascularization.ResultsTen studies (3 randomized, 7 observational) involving 22,141 ULMCA disease patients (13,411 PCI, 8730 CABG) with a median 5‐year follow‐up were included. Among males, PCI was associated with a higher risk of MACE (HR 1.18, 95% CI 1.01–1.38), while no significant difference was seen in females. However, moderator analysis showed no significant interaction between sex and revascularization strategy for MACE (p for interaction .422). No differences in all‐cause mortality were observed between PCI and CABG for either sex. Repeated revascularization risk was significantly higher with PCI for both sexes (HR 3.51, 95% CI 2.21–5.59 in males and HR 4.20, 95% CI 2.57–6.87 in females).ConclusionsIn males with ULMCA disease, CABG was associated with a lower risk of MACE compared to PCI, while no significant differences were seen in females. The lack of a significant interaction between sex and revascularization strategy suggests that these findings may not reflect true sex‐based effect modification. PCI was linked to a higher risk of repeated revascularization in both sexes compared to CABG.Trial registrationThe protocol was registered in the PROSPERO International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (ID: CRD42024537726).
The Adults Are Not Alright: Theorizing Adult Democratic Education from the Capability Approach
Authors: DeCesare Tony 
Published: November 2024

AbstractEducation‐related responses to our current democratic crisis have largely been focused on schooling children and youth. This narrow focus has foreclosed or diverted our attention from other possibilities for democratic education, especially as it relates to adult citizens and the ways in which such education can — and must — extend beyond schools and other formal educational institutions. In this paper, Tony DeCesare aims to theorize these possibilities in order to lay some philosophical groundwork for an idea of adult democratic education (ADE) that can help us combat our current democratic crisis and, more generally, strengthen our commitment to and practice of democracy. Drawing on the capability approach, he argues for prioritizing two related capabilities in our theorizing of ADE: (1) democratic capability, and (2) the capability to participate in ADE. These two capabilities are both deeply interconnected and central to a theoretical framework for ADE that is grounded in the capability approach.
Parents’ perceptions of cohesion in diverse stepfamilies

Published: November 2024

AbstractObjectiveThe goal was to assess how cohesive parents perceive their stepfamilies to be and to explain how cohesion relates to aspects of stepfamily structure.BackgroundCohesion is important to study as it can bolster the well‐being of stepfamily members. Prior research has mostly considered relationship qualities as predictors of cohesion. Little is known about differences in cohesion by family structure (i.e., whether parents have a shared child, whether the stepfamily is simple or complex, and in which households the respective children live).MethodWe analyzed data from a sample of Dutch divorced parents (N = 3,056) using linear regression.ResultsParents perceived their stepfamilies as very cohesive. Having a shared child with the current partner was associated with higher perceptions of cohesion, whereas having a stepchild was associated with lower perceptions of cohesion. Non‐ or part‐time residency of parents' biological child from their previous relationship or their potential stepchild was associated with lower perceptions of cohesion. Cohesion was lowest in complex stepfamilies in which parents' biological children and potential stepchildren followed nonaligning residence arrangements.ConclusionAspects of stepfamily structure appear to affect perceptions of stepfamily cohesion. These findings imply that well‐being of stepfamily members in complicated stepfamily structures might be lower.ImplicationsTo understand stepfamily cohesion and design therapeutic approaches for stepfamilies, it is crucial to look beyond relationship qualities and explicitly consider the role of stepfamily structure.
Fatigue Assessment of Copper‐Brazed Stainless‐Steel Joints for Plate Heat Exchangers
Authors: Hayta Yiğit , Kandemir Sinan 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTCyclic pressures can cause fatigue failure in the brazed joints and plates of the plate heat exchangers (PHEs). This study examines the fatigue behavior of PHEs made from 316L and 304L steels brazed with copper foils employing strain‐controlled fatigue tests to explore if 304L could replace 316L in the existing production line for cost reduction. Fatigue tests were conducted at four different load levels with a stress ratio of zero and a frequency of 5 Hz. Finite Element Analysis was used to assess strain distribution and estimate PHE lifespan based on generated strain versus number of cycles to failure curves. The microstructural analysis revealed that copper diffuses more easily into 316L than 304L, and using 50 μm thick foil causes more defects compared with 100 μm foil. It was shown that 316L joints have a significantly increased fatigue life compared with 304L. Both 316L and 304L met the 15‐year lifetime requirement set by manufacturers.
Further Understanding of Formation Mechanisms of Micropits and Microcracks on Precision‐Bearing Raceway Surfaces Under Light Load Condition

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTIn this study, precision‐bearing samples were tested on bearing test bench under light load condition for different time periods. Surface morphologies of damage bearing samples were characterized from two aspects (2D and 3D) by various methods. Numerous micropits can be observed on surfaces of raceways and steel balls. Combing with surface damage morphologies and thickness of oil films, it can be speculated that main formation mechanism of micropits is that the surface asperities puncture the oil film firstly and then squeezed into surface in contact with it. Potential effect of vibration during the formation process of micropits had been found by repetitive experiments on RCF test machine. Micropits can form more easily under higher vibration values. Surface microcracks can initiate and propagate with the synergistic effects of repeated plastic deformation and oxide‐assisted.
Bitcoin spillovers: A high‐frequency cross‐asset analysis
Authors: Leong Minhao , Kwok Simon 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis study examines the spillover of Bitcoin's jumps and diffusive variations to traditional assets using high‐frequency data. For our cross‐asset analysis, we detect positive spillovers from Bitcoin to risk assets and negative spillovers to defensive assets. We also find evidence of positive jump and diffusion spillovers from Bitcoin to U.S. equity sectors, particularly the financials, technology, consumer discretionary, and communication services sectors. By examining the source of these risk transmissions, we show that these spillovers are exacerbated by increased economic exposures to blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies by U.S. companies. The empirical findings reveal that the price fluctuations of an unregulated asset such as Bitcoin can materially affect the price dynamics of regulated assets.

ABSTRACTShifts in species distribution have far‐reaching implications across ecological, economic, and social dimensions. Pelagic fish, integral to global fisheries, have displayed notable euryhaline and eurythermal characteristics. However, a poleward range expansion trend has emerged in the northern hemisphere for certain Scomber species since the 2010s, attributed to sea surface temperature and food resource dynamics. Scomber colias, a principal pelagic fishery resource in Argentina, stands as an underexploited species with recent landings totaling approximately 14,800 tons. In the North Patagonian shelf waters, where S. colias resides at its southern distribution, there has been documented ocean warming. In this context, this study evaluates potential changes in the distribution and abundance of S. colias from 1991 to 2022 in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean (SAO). Drawing on two distinct data sources, the analysis reveals a poleward range expansion, extending to 48°5′S, exceeding historical limits by 278 km. This expansion is positively correlated with rising sea surface temperatures, with the most significant displacement observed during summer, when this species has a high feeding activity in the study area. The investigation further explores the relationship between S. colias presence and the abundance of its primary prey species between 2011 and 2022. This is highly possible, yet no significant results were uncovered. This study marks the first documented southward range expansion of S. colias in the SAO, providing essential quantitative insights for biological studies, fisheries management, and the canning manufacturing industry. The latter could benefit from year‐round access to fish, potentially generating employment opportunities and fostering economic growth within the local community.
Moving Beyond the Observable: What Distinct Values Contributed to Utah's Postsecondary Sector Changes in the United States?

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTResearch on higher education policy in the United States often seeks to understand commonalities across state contexts to understand broader concepts influencing decision‐making. However, this minimises the importance of abstract and distinct factors impacting policy processes within a state. While researchers in other fields attribute these non‐tangible characteristics to a state's culture, a similar concept has yet to emerge within the higher education policy context. By considering gaps within the literature, the current exploratory case study considers two statewide postsecondary sector changes in Utah that occurred in 2019–2020 and the distinct state‐level values that were commonly influential during these processes.
