Mathematical anxiety is associated with reduced visuospatial working memory: the impact of emotional and spatial distracting information
Authors: Ashkenazi Sarit , Danan Yehudit , Okon-Singer Hadas 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe attentional control theory posits that anxiety may shift attention towards threatening stimuli and/or affect general attentional control mechanisms. The spatial theory suggests that mathematical anxiety (MA) originates from weakness in spatial processing mechanisms such as visuospatial working memory. Accordingly, MA may negatively influence (1) attentional mechanisms in anxious states and/or (2) general attentional control or working memory mechanisms. The current study examined the associations between MA, attention mechanisms, and working memory. To this end, we validated a new set of math-related pictures and used a math-related modified version of a flanker task. Two groups of college students with low (N = 35) and high (N = 31) MA were asked to perform a central task and ignore math-related and neutral distracting pictures. After we controlled for general anxiety, participants with high MA exhibited a larger location congruency effect in the modified flanker task. Moreover, visuospatial short-term and working memory fully mediated the relationship between MA and performances. These results suggest that general visuospatial deficits constitute the main difficulty among individuals with MA. Taken together, the findings shed light on the unique difficulty of individuals with HMA ignoring distraction, and suggest that reduced visuospatial abilities are at the basis of this difficulty. These findings are discussed in the context of their theoretical and treatment-related potential implications.
Children’s Perceived Economic Disadvantage and Social Relationships in School: Family Relationships as a Mediating Factor
Authors: Hautala Helena , Lehti Hannu 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
We investigate how perceived economic disadvantage is associated with social relationships in school among children aged 9–14 years and the mediating effect of family relationships in the association. We measure economic disadvantage through both perceived financial concerns and the child’s estimate of the amount of money he or she has compared to friends. Social relationships are measured through the experience that teachers care and trust that other children will help if needed. Family relationships are measured through three variables measuring a child’s experiences of communication with parents and having a good time with family. As data, we use the Finnish sub-survey from the third wave of the international survey Children’s Worlds, The International Survey of Children’s Well-being (ISCWeB) for 2018–2019 (N = 1684), which we analyze using linear probability regression models. Results show that both measured dimensions of perceived economic disadvantage are negatively associated with the experience that teachers care and the trust that other children help. Family relationships mediate the association of financial concerns with relationships with both teachers and other children in school. Having less money than friends is associated with relationships with both teachers and other children, regardless of family relationships. Attention should be paid to the socio-emotional well-being of economically disadvantaged children in school, especially children who are exposed to vulnerability in family relationships as well. It is important not only to promote economic equality but also to be aware of hierarchies built on economic grounds among children.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Protein loops and structural domains are building blocks of molecular structure. They hold evolutionary memory and are largely responsible for the many functions and processes that drive the living world. Here, we briefly review two decades of phylogenomic data-driven research focusing on the emergence and evolution of these elemental architects of protein structure. Phylogenetic trees of domains reconstructed from the proteomes of organisms belonging to all three superkingdoms and viruses were used to build chronological timelines describing the origin of each domain and its embedded loops at different levels of structural abstraction. These timelines consistently recovered six distinct evolutionary phases and a most parsimonious evolutionary progression of cellular life. The timelines also traced the birth of domain structures from loops, which allowed to model their growth ab initio with AlphaFold2. Accretion decreased the disorder of the growing molecules, suggesting disorder is molecular size-dependent. A phylogenomic survey of disorder revealed that loops and domains evolved differently. Loops were highly disordered, disorder increased early in evolution, and ordered and moderate disordered structures were derived. Gradual replacement of loops with α-helix and β-strand bracing structures over time paved the way for the dominance of more disordered loop types. In contrast, ancient domains were ordered, with disorder evolving as a benefit acquired later in evolution. These evolutionary patterns explain inverse correlations between disorder and sequence length of loops and domains. Our findings provide a deep evolutionary view of the link between structure, disorder, flexibility, and function.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
This study explores the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on brand communication within corporate social networks, analyzing its benefits, ethical and technical challenges, and proposing responsible implementation strategies enriched with new theoretical contributions. To achieve this, a systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted based on the SPAR-4-SLR methodology by Paul et al. (2021), using 57 studies from Scopus and Web of Science over the past six years. This approach was complemented with recommendations from Kitchenham and Charters (2007) to ensure rigor and thoroughness in the analysis. The study reveals that artificial intelligence transforms interactions within corporate social networks by enabling effective personalization, optimizing customer experience, and enhancing satisfaction. Benefits include precise segmentation, predictive analytics, and customer service optimization through chatbots. However, significant ethical challenges also emerge, such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and a lack of transparency in AI models. The necessity for responsible practices and regulations that foster user trust and mitigate risks associated with the implementation of AI in digital communication strategies is emphasized.

Published: November 2024

AbstractSulfonamide derivatives as semiconductor materials for organic optoelectronic devices, including photovoltaic (PV), have received considerable interest. In the present work, the synthesis of novel pyrogallol-sulfonamide derivatives based on a molecular hybridization approach yielded N-((4-((2,3,4-trihydroxyphenyl)diazenyl)phenyl)sulfonyl)acetamide (N-DPSA). The techniques of spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), and mass spectrum were utilized to identify the structural composition of the synthesized N-DPSA. The new N-DPSA was investigated by Hall-effect measurement to prove the positive charge carrier (hole mobility) with mobility and conductivity of 2.39 × 103 cm2/Vs and 1.76 × 10–1 1/Ω cm, respectively. Consequently, N-DPSA could be proposed as a strong candidate as a p-type semiconductor (hole transport layer (HTL)). The optical energy gap was computed at 2.03 eV, indicating the direct optical transition nature of N-DPSA. The elaborated molecular semiconductor's thermal features, molecular modelling, and electronic energy levels were also investigated. The new N-DPSA at various concentrations provided easy synthesis, cheap cost, high performance, and a straightforward design approach for a possible HTL in effective perovskite solar cells (PSCs). A PCE of 7.3% is shown for the N-DPSA-based PSC at its optimal concentration.

Published: November 2024

AbstractNew electrolytes are necessary for the development of eco-friendly and cost-effective solid-state magnesium batteries. Methylamine borane-magnesium borohydride Mg(BH4)2-CH3NH2BH3 combined with MgO is suggested as a novel solid state electrolyte. In fact, Mg(BH4)2-CH3NH2BH3 0.33–0.67 (molar fraction) is a viscous liquid at room temperature, but it can be stabilized in the solid state after the incorporation of 75 wt% of MgO. The obtained composite exhibits remarkable Mg2+ conductivity, achieving approximately 10–5 S cm-1 at 25 °C and 10–4 S cm–1 at 65 °C.

Abstract
Objective
Adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) experience high rates of poor mental health and challenges accessing timely and high-quality services. There is limited interprofessional training on mental health care for this population.

Methods
A virtual, synchronous program based on the Project Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) Ontario IDD Mental Health program was developed for health and social service trainees. Participants represented 10 disciplines across 12 Canadian university or college programs. The program was taught by a team of health and social service providers together with individuals with lived experience and included didactics and case-based discussions. Program evaluation utilized a pre-, post-, and 12-week follow-up survey design with feedback surveys following each session.

Results
Fifty participants registered for the program; 34 (68%) completed baseline measures and attended at least two sessions. Overall, participants reported high session satisfaction (average rating of 4.47 of 5). Participants demonstrated significant improvement in self-efficacy regarding communication (p < 0.001), management of mental health needs (p < 0.001), and working across systems (p < 0.001). Participants self-reported feeling more knowledgeable about common comorbidities (p < 0.001), assessing behavioral challenges (p < 0.001), the role of interdisciplinary professionals (p < 0.001), and community resources (p < 0.001). Improvements were maintained at follow-up across outcomes.

Conclusion
The pilot Project ECHO for health and social service trainees in adult IDD mental health demonstrated high participant satisfaction and positive impact on trainees’ self-efficacy and knowledge. Interprofessional educational interventions can be effectively implemented using virtual technology to teach about other mental health populations requiring multisector care.
Collaborative actuation of liquid crystal elastomer unit cells as a function design platform

Published: November 2024

AbstractAs future soft robotic devices necessitate a level of complexity surpassing current standards, a new design approach is needed that integrates multiple systems necessary to synchronize the motions of soft actuators and the response of signals, thereby enhancing the intelligence of flexible devices. Herein, we propose a liquid crystal elastomer unit cell-based platform that organizes the cells in a group to create expandable functions. One unit cell behaves like a flexible module that can expand biaxially into a specific, stable, and controllable pattern. Collaborating the unit cells in different manners results in an adaptable soft grasper, a half-adder for information processing, and a tunable phononic bandgap. This implies a high level of reconfigurability and scalability in both structures and functions by elegantly reassembling the unit cells. This design strategy has the potential to integrate multiple functions that traditional soft actuators cannot accommodate, providing a platform for developing intelligent soft robotics.
Comparing Ethereum fungible and non-fungible tokens: an analysis of transfer networks
Authors: Loporchio Matteo , Di Francesco Maesa Damiano , Bernasconi Anna , Ricci Laura 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe increasing adoption of tokens on the Ethereum blockchain has given rise to many distinct economic communities whose activity history is publicly accessible. In this paper we study the communities of Ethereum fungible and non-fungible tokens, regulated, respectively, by the ERC-20 and ERC-721 standards. In particular, we focus on token transfers and consider the top 100 largest ERC-20 and ERC-721 ecosystems by number of transfers, modeling them as networks where nodes correspond to participants and edges represent token transfers. We analyze their main topological properties and conduct a clustering-based study to identify groups of graphs with similar topologies. Subsequently, we classify the networks based on the application domain of their corresponding token and investigate whether graphs with similar topologies correspond to tokens within the same domain. We also conduct a temporal analysis of token popularity based on the historical transfer activity. Our findings highlight the existence of common topological properties (e.g., absence of small world effect) across both types of tokens. In contrast, the clustering analysis indicates no evident connection between the token application domain and the structure of the induced transfer networks, with the exception of non-fungible tokens associated with spamming activities.

The analysis reveals the diverse impact of Design Thinking on team interactions, skills, tasks and activities, values, emotions and mindset, and team composition as well as performance. Furthermore, this study explores how Design Thinking's influence on teams can contribute to cultural change within organizations and discusses both the limitations and prerequisites of this method. Suggestions on how future research can proceed are provided, and practical implications that can enhance the implementation of design methods in organizations are highlighted.
Digital Psychology: Introducing a Conceptual Impact Model and the Future of Work
Authors: Walter Yoshija 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe present review is the first of its kind to form a conceptual discussion about a novel field, here referred to as digital psychology. The result is a conceptual impact model of digital psychology (in short: CIMDP) highlighting the bidirectional relationship between human psychology (consisting of affect, cognition, and behavior) and digital transformation (driven by datafication, algorithmization, and platformization). The findings of the CIMDP are applied to a relevant field in economy and business development, namely, to the digital future of work, which appears to be mediated by organizational behavior and governed by managerial decisions. The resulting model may be used to provide orientation in a new research domain and to guide future studies in psychology, cognitive science, digital transformation, human–computer interactions, organizational behavior, and business management.
External and Internal Barriers to Urban Circular Economy Transition in an Early Phase: The Case of Critical Raw Materials
Authors: Valkokari Katri , Petänen Päivi , Valkama Pekka , Arnold Mona , Anttiroiko Ari-Veikko 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis article contributes to expanding the literature on and understanding about urban circular economy (CE) transitions towards circular cities, with a particular focus on the circularity of critical raw materials (CRMs), by identifying barriers in the transition’s exploration phase. We collected our empirical research data from 7 Finnish cities by interviewing 14 administrative officers responsible for procurement and for CE development and strategies. According to our findings, financial, institutional, policy and regulatory, technical, knowledge, and social factors are both internal and external barriers that city governments face in preventing urban CE transition of CRMs. Our findings suggest that an overarching problem with the identified barriers is regarding knowledge. Furthermore, we argue that intervening in local transformation paths towards circular cities requires the understanding and development of multilevel interactions between actors and their possibly conflicting interests. This contributes to the current understanding of early phases of urban CE transitions, that is, how knowledge deficits between multilevel systemic urban CE transitions should be addressed.

Published: November 2024

AbstractThe advent of 3D printing technologies has led to a new era in tissue regeneration, offering unparalleled precision and versatility in fabricating scaffolds for various biomedical applications. Robocasting and stereolithography stand out among these technologies for their distinct advantages in engineering complex tissue structures. Robocasting, an extrusion-based 3D printing technique, has shown significant promise in cartilage tissue engineering. Its ability to precisely deposit biomaterials layer-by-layer allows the creation of porous scaffolds with encapsulated cells and bioactive molecules that improve mechanical properties and biological functionality. These scaffolds support the proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes or mesenchymal stem cells, facilitating the regeneration of damaged cartilage. Stereolithography, a light-based 3D printing technique, offers remarkable resolution and accuracy with highly detailed structures that closely resemble the complex architecture of tissues. This makes it particularly suitable for new treatments for injuries and diseases of cartilage and ocular tissue regeneration. Integrating robocasting and stereolithography presents a synergistic approach to replicating cartilage and ocular tissues' complex physical and biological environments, offering innovative regenerative therapies. This review highlights the recent advancements and potential of robocasting and stereolithography in regenerative medicine, focusing on their applications in cartilage and ocular tissue regeneration.

Published: November 2024

ZusammenfassungDas korrekte Vorgehen bei der Totenbeschau nach einem vollzogenen assistierten Suizid (AS) sorgte in Österreich nach Inkrafttreten des Sterbeverfügungsgesetzes am 01.01.2022 für Verwirrung. Da die Gesetzgebung zur Totenbeschau in den Bundesländern unterschiedlich geregelt ist, wird das Hinzuziehen der Polizei, die darauffolgende Meldung bei der Staatsanwaltschaft und eine evtl. notwendige gerichtliche Obduktion unterschiedlich gehandhabt. Da der AS in den meisten „Todesart-Dokumentationen“ noch keine eigene Entität mit einer nachfolgend klar definierten Handlungsanweisung ist, ist vor allem in Bundesländern, wo gesetzlich zwischen einer natürlichen und unnatürlichen Todesart unterschieden wird, die Verständigung der Polizei bei einem AS gefordert, obwohl der AS nicht illegal (=straffrei gestellt), aber eben eine unnatürliche Todesart ist. Es wird von den politischen Akteur:innen eine bundesländerübergreifende einheitliche Regelung in Österreich angestrebt. Um die korrekte Dokumentation eines AS zu verbessern, müssen Arbeitgeber:innen medizinischer Einrichtungen aller Art jedenfalls dringlich für ihre Todesfalldokumentation die Dokumentation eines stattgehabten „AS als eigene Todesart“ einräumen.

AbstractThe western Bay of Bengal is particularly susceptible to the harmful impacts of increasing coastal pollution, as coastal population and urban development are occurring at unprecedented rates. The rapid urbanization and industrialization along the east coast of India coupled with the transfer of contaminants into the Bay of Bengal through riverine systems, causing a direct impact on marine ecosystems. In the present study, an attempt has been made to understand the heavy metal distribution on shelf sediments in the western part of the Bay of Bengal to infer their source, processes, and historical changes in marine pollution. Three short sediment core samples were collected and analysed for sediment texture, organic matter, and heavy metals. Cores 1 and 2 contain a high amount of sand content, representing shallow marine with moderate to high-energy conditions, and were deposited at a recent time. Core 3 was dominated by muddy sand to sandy mud, which denotes calm sedimentation without any turbulence, and these sediments were deposited under relatively low-energy conditions. The higher concentration of organic matter in the top layers of the core indicates both marine and terrestrial input. The heavy metal contents show quite heterogeneous and variable distributions from one element to another and from one core to another. The calculated pollution indices such as Contamination Factor (CF), and Geoaccumulation Index (Igeo) and Pollution Load Index (PLI) values indicate that all the core sub-samples are severely enriched and highly polluted by Cd and moderately polluted by Pb. The increased heavy metal concentration in the upper portion of the sediment cores and moderate to considerable ecological risks indicate that these metals have been deposited in the study area for the past few decades.
