A Qualitative Inquiry Into Metacognitive Strategies of Postgraduate Students in Employing ChatGPT for English Academic Writing
Authors: Yao Yuan , Sun Yiwen , Zhu Siyu , Zhu Xinhua 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTRecent years have witnessed a growing application of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) technology in writing instruction. Students should mobilise their metacognitive strategies during this endeavour to maximise the benefits of GenAI while avoiding the potential negative impacts. Within the context of tertiary education in Hong Kong, this qualitative research investigates 13 postgraduate students' metacognitive strategies when utilising ChatGPT for English academic writing. Using data collected from audio recordings, semi‐structured interviews and human–GenAI chat logs, we explored students' metacognitive strategies within five dimensions, namely, planning, monitoring, evaluating, information management and debugging. The identified themes and subthemes within each dimension exhibited similarities to those observed in other educational settings. Meanwhile, certain metacognitive strategies (e.g., debugging) were found to be unique to the context of GenAI‐supported academic writing. This study contributes to the literature in two ways. Firstly, it provides a detailed and thorough understanding of metacognitive strategies, complementing the extensive quantitative research in this area. Secondly, this research expands the framework of metacognitive strategies to the context of GenAI‐supported academic writing learning.
Alone on the Bridge: The Intersectional Identity and Mediating Role of Israeli Educators of Ethiopian Descent
Authors: Binhas Adi 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTIntercultural mediation has developed significantly in recent decades in various public systems, including the education system. In Israel, hundreds of mediators from various social groups serve to bridge between the parents and community on the one hand, and the school on another. This role involves a personal and professional challenge given the mediators' intersectional identity as members of both a migrant group and the host culture, where they represent the Israeli education system. This study focuses on mediators of Ethiopian descent, and examines the following questions: (1) How are the mediators' two identities expressed? (2) How do they affect their personal and professional experiences? (3) What, in their experience, are the most effective tools for intercultural mediation in the school system? (4) How can a public system support the mediators' activity? The study was carried out in the Research Lab of the Center for the Advancement of a Shared Society at the Beit Berl College, with the funding of the Feldman Foundation TX.

AbstractThis study evaluated food preferences and eating behaviors of individuals with Dravet syndrome. Patients diagnosed with Dravet syndrome were recruited, as well as a control group composed of siblings of patients with epilepsy (any form). The Food Preference Questionnaire and the Child Eating Behavior Questionnaire were completed by caregivers along with two open‐ended questions regarding eating challenges. Seventy‐eight participants (45 with Dravet syndrome and 33 controls) were included. Compared to controls, mean scores for food preference were lower for fruits (p = .000099), meats and fish (p = .00094), and snacks (p = .000027) in Dravet syndrome. People with Dravet syndrome also had less emotional overeating (p = .0085) and food enjoyment (p = .0012), but more slowness in eating (p = .00021) and food fussiness (p = .0064). In a subgroup analysis of only pediatric (age <18 years) patients, similar results were observed for both food preferences and eating habits. In qualitative data, caregivers most commonly reported difficulties with fixation on specific foods. This study demonstrates specific food preferences and challenging eating behaviors in individuals with Dravet syndrome. These data provide potential avenues for nutritional interventions and behavioral therapies to increase the quality of life of patients and their families.
Few‐Shot Contrastive Learning‐Based Multi‐Round Dialogue Intent Classification Method
Authors: Wei Feng , Zhang Xu 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTTraditional text classification models face challenges in handling long texts and understanding topic transitions in dialogue scenarios, leading to suboptimal performance in automatic speech recognition (ASR)‐based multi‐round dialogue intent classification. In this article, we propose a few‐shot contrastive learning‐based multi‐round dialogue intent classification method. First, the ASR texts are partitioned, and role‐based features are extracted using a Transformer encoder. Second, refined sample pairs are forward‐propagated, adversarial samples are generated by perturbing word embedding matrices and contrastive loss is applied to positive sample pairs. Then, positive sample pairs are input into a multi‐round reasoning module to learn semantic clues from the entire scenario through multiple dialogues, obtain reasoning features, input them into a classifier to obtain classification results, and calculate multi‐task loss. Finally, a prototype update module (PUM) is introduced to rectify the biased prototypes by using gated recurrent unit (GRU) to update the prototypes stored in the memory bank and few‐shot learning (FSL) task. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms state‐of‐the‐art methods on two public datasets (DailyDialog and CM) and a private real‐world dataset.

ABSTRACT‘Water potential’ is the biophysically relevant measure of water status in vegetation relating to stomatal, canopy and hydraulic conductance, as well as mortality thresholds; yet, this cannot be directly related to measured and modelled fluxes of water at plot‐ to landscape‐scale without understanding its relationship with ‘water content’. The capacity for detecting vegetation water content via microwave remote sensing further increases the need to understand the link between water content and ecosystem function. In this review, we explore how the fundamental measures of water status, water potential and water content are linked at ecosystem‐scale drawing on the existing theory of pressure‐volume (PV) relationships. We define and evaluate the concept and limitations of applying PV relationships to ecosystems where the quantity of water can vary on short timescales with respect to plant water status, and over longer timescales and over larger areas due to structural changes in vegetation. As a proof of concept, plot‐scale aboveground vegetation PV curves were generated from equilibrium (e.g., predawn) water potentials and water content of the above ground biomass of nine plots, including tropical rainforest, savanna, temperate forest, and a long‐term Amazonian rainforest drought experiment. Initial findings suggest that the stored water and ecosystem capacitance scale linearly with biomass across diverse systems, while the relative values of ecosystem hydraulic capacitance and physiologically accessible water storage do not vary systematically with biomass. The bottom‐up scaling approach to ecosystem water relations identified the need to characterise the distribution of water potentials within a community and also revealed the relevance of community‐level plant tissue fractions to ecosystem water relations. We believe that this theory will be instrumental in linking our detailed understanding of biophysical processes at tissue‐scale to the scale at which land surface models operate and at which tower‐based, airborne and satellite remote sensing can provide information.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTObjectivesTo investigate oral problems experienced by patients with eating disorder (ED).MethodsA cross‐sectional study where ED patients (n = 48) at two Swedish specialised clinics filled out a questionnaire about perceived oral health problems and habits, and specific behaviours related to ED.ResultsThe majority exhibited poor eating and drinking habits, f.i. drinking light drinks (63%), and most of them were on medication (71%). The most common problems were hypersensitive teeth (three out of five) and perceived dryness of the mouth (almost four out of five). Likewise, pain in the teeth (38%) and the jaws (46%) was frequent. About one‐third had been binge eating and/or vomiting in recent weeks and these behaviours were associated with pain in the teeth and snacking. Almost two out of three participants were concerned about informing their dentist or dental hygienist about their vomiting.ConclusionsThe ED patients in this study experienced oral problems and exhibited many risk behaviours regarding oral health. Both dental staff and ED staff who meet ED patients should be aware of the risk of oral health problems and preventive measures should be taken.

Published: November 2024

AbstractGraphite/geopolymer composite is a promising smart material that can be used in various applications. This paper reports the design of strong self‐heating graphite/geopolymer composites with high graphite percentages up to 120 wt% of metakaolin. The physical, mechanical, electrical, and electrothermal performance of composites were investigated; the compressive strength was tested at various ages and the electrothermal performance was tested using AC and DC voltages. The results showed that a compromise between high compressive strength and high electrothermal conversion can be achieved when a specific balance between the percentage of the graphite and the water content is established. The current study specified the reason for the deterioration of the electrothermal performance of the graphite/geopolymer composites, that is, the formation of a barrier layer between the electrode and the sample surface; it has been found that this can be avoided by removing the free ions from the geopolymer via washing. A composite with 47 ± 1 MPa compressive strength and stable electrothermal performance of 98°C at 6 DC volts can be prepared using 90 wt% graphite and 57 mL water content. This work is a step in the future innovation of smart construction using self‐heating and antifreezing construction materials.
Privatization in mixed duopoly with vertical differentiation: Price versus quantity competition
Authors: Lu Yuanzhu , Choi Kangsik 
Published: November 2024

AbstractIn this paper, we investigate the issue of privatization in a mixed duopoly with vertical differentiation under Cournot and Bertrand competition. The public firm is assumed to produce a lower‐quality product with lower production costs. We find that under both Bertrand and Cournot competition, privatization is socially desirable (undesirable) if the quality level of the private firm is sufficiently high (low). However, if the quality of the private firm is intermediate, Bertrand and Cournot competition yields opposite policy implications: privatization is desirable under Bertrand competition while undesirable under Cournot competition. Therefore, under Bertrand competition, privatization is more likely to be welfare‐improving than under Cournot competition.
Juvenile hormone controls trehalose metabolism by regulating trehalase 2 activity in ovarian development of Helicoverpa armigera

Published: November 2024

AbstractTrehalase (Treh) is crucial for ovarian development as it directly regulates the energy supply by hydrolyzing trehalose into glucose. Juvenile hormone (JH) is also essential for ovarian development, but how it affects Treh2 activity remains unclear. This study, which employed Helicoverpa armigera as a model, showed that HaTreh2 transcription and enzymatic activity peaks coincided with the peak of JH titers (the 2 and 3 days after emergence). Compared to the dsGFP control, knockdown of HaTreh2 transcription severely impaired ovarian development. LC‐MS/MS and site mutation experiments demonstrated that JH triggered the serine 345 phosphorylation of HaTreh2 via the GPCR‐cAMP‐PKA pathway, thereby activating its enzymatic activity. Additionally, HaTreh2 is directly bound with trehalose transporter (HaTreT) under JH induction, thus controlling intracellular trehalose and glucose contents as well as the transcription of HaTreT. TreT controls the amount of trehalose, which serves as a substrate for Treh1, entering the cell. Treh2, on the other hand, uses extracellular trehalose as substrate, and the hydrolysis product glucose is further transported into the cell. Here, HaTreh2 regulated the substrate that HaTreh1 can act upon in the cell by directly binding with HaTreT during ovarian development when JH is induced. Therefore, JH systematically regulated trehalose metabolism during ovarian development through regulating the activity of HaTreh2. This study sheds light on the coordinated interplay between JH pathway and sugar metabolism in ovarian development.

AbstractMicroorganisms are integral to ecosystem functioning and host adaptation, yet the understanding of microbiomes in diverse beetle taxa remains limited. We conducted a comprehensive study to investigate the microbial composition of two red flat bark beetle species, Cucujus haematodes and C. cinnaberinus, and assessed the influence of host taxonomic relatedness and host tree species on their microbiomes. We sampled 67 larvae of two Cucujus taxa taken from 11 host tree species. 16S rRNA V4 fragment sequencing revealed distinct microbial communities associated with each Cucujus species, with host tree species significantly influencing microbiome composition. Alpha and beta diversity metrics indicated significant differences between microbial communities in both beetle and host tree species. Principal component analysis indicated distinct clustering based on host tree species but not for beetle species. This overlap could be attributed to the similar ecology of both Cucujus species. The detection of various bacteria, among which some have already been reported in saproxylophagous beetles, suggests that the red flat bark beetles ingest the bacteria via foraging on other wood‐dwelling invertebrates. Our findings show the complex interplay between host taxonomy, microhabitat and microbial composition in Cucujus, providing insights into their ecological roles and conservation implications. This research helps to fill the gap in understanding the microbial dynamics of saproxylic beetles, sheds light on factors shaping their microbiomes and highlights the importance of considering both host species and environmental conditions when studying insect‐microbe interactions in forest ecosystems.

ABSTRACTObjectivesThis systematic review aimed to assess the impact of printing orientation on the accuracy and properties of additively manufactured provisional restorations.Materials and MethodsA systematic literature search databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane) were conducted in July 2024 without language restrictions. The included studies were evaluated using the modified CONSORT checklist, and the effect measures and synthetic methods were employed to assess the accuracy of resin provisional restorations printed at various orientations.ResultsThe web search resulted in 8228 records, and 15 records were ultimately included in the analysis. The printing orientation of provisional restorations has an impact on various factors such as the internal and marginal gap, trueness, precision, and accuracy. To achieve optimal results, it is recommended to utilize printing orientations of 180°, 150°, and 210°, as they showed lower marginal and internal gaps and higher accuracy. Caution should be exercised during the virtual positioning of supporting pillars, as this may also influence the overall accuracy.ConclusionsHorizontally and slightly tilted orientations have demonstrated superior accuracy. To achieve optimal results, factors such as printing layer thickness, printing technology, materials, and supportive pillars should be taken into consideration, besides the printing orientations.Clinical SignificanceThe selection of the optimum printing parameters overall printing orientations, layer thickness, and supportive pillar position can generate prosthetic and restorative dental parts with a long survival rate, saving time and effort by avoiding fracture, loss of retention, and consequent clinical complications.

Published: November 2024

AbstractBackground and AimIn immunochemical fecal occult blood test (iFOBT) positive subjects, colonoscopy screening can detect colorectal cancers and advanced adenomas, yet most iFOBT‐positive subjects find no relevant lower gastrointestinal lesions. Limited data are available on upper gastrointestinal (UGI) cancer risk in iFOBT‐positive patients. This study investigated the incidence of UGI malignancies diagnosed within 3 years post‐colonoscopy after a positive iFOBT.MethodsRetrospective analysis of iFOBT‐positive patients aged 50–75 years who underwent a colonoscopy at a single institution. All patients with a diagnosis of UGI cancer within 3 years post‐colonoscopy were identified by linking with the Queensland Cancer Register. This was used to compare to the geographical population aged 50–74 years based on the Australian Bureau of Statistics and Queensland Cancer Council data.ResultsFrom 1748 eligible participants, 0.23% (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.06–0.58) were diagnosed with UGI cancer within 3 years post‐colonoscopy. This indicates an esophageal cancers rate of 114.42 per 100 000 (95% CI 100.56–298.28) and gastric cancer rate of 57.21 per 100 000 (95% CI 55.76–261.12). Of the patients with a UGI cancer, 75% would have had an unexplained iFOBT. Annual incidence for the same geographic region, ages, and period for the combined esophageal and gastric cancer was 36.08 per 100 000 (95% CI 32.87–39.52).ConclusionsAmong individuals with a positive iFOBT in a bowel cancer screening program, the rates of gastric and esophageal cancers were 2.7 and 7.5 times higher than the general population. Adding gastroscopy to a colonoscopy for iFOBT‐positive patients in cancer surveillance programs may be justifiable.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTBackgroundThe demand for aesthetic treatments targeting the middle and lower face is on the rise, especially because of changes in appearance associated with aging.AimThis study aimed to assess the use of a hybrid filler for sculpting and contouring of the chin, jaw, and malar region.Methods and MaterialsA retrospective analysis was performed on patients who underwent jaw and chin contouring and cheek augmentation using a hybrid filler (hyaluronic acid and dextranomer). The evaluation focused on the naturalness of appearance, enhancement in volume, and the durability of the results, employing a 5‐point scale. Both patient satisfaction and physician evaluations were measured using the Likert scale and the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS), respectively. Follow‐up with patients extended up to 6 months after treatment, during which any treatment‐related adverse events (AEs) were meticulously recorded and analyzed.ResultsNineteen patients participated in the study, receiving an average injection volume of 2.4 ± 0.9 mL to attain the desired outcomes. The evaluation of natural appearance, volumizing effects, and durability at the analyzed time point consistently scored above 4. All 19 patients' aesthetic improvement was evaluated as “very much improved” and “much improved”, at the GAIS score. All patients report improvement in their appearance, with 89.5% rating it as “very much improved” or “much improved” on the Likert scale. Only expected AEs such as mild pain and lower swelling were registered.ConclusionThe hybrid filler proved effective and safe for facial contouring, with significant patient satisfaction and minimal adverse effects.
Spatial Modesty: The Everyday Production of Gendered Space in Segregated and Assimilative Organizations
Authors: Chaudhry Shafaq , Priola Vincenza 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis article explores the relations between organizational spatiality, gender and religion‐informed cultural practices. Theoretically grounded in Lefebvre's spatial theory and informed by Islamic feminism, it examines the significance of Islamic spatial modesty in (re)constructing and sustaining gender (in)equalities in financial institutions in Pakistan. The analysis reveals that the work‐space of Pakistani banks is gendered in ways that reflect the practices of purdah (Islamic modesty), while being adjusted and resisted to fit with the cultural practices of the organization, in what we call ‘selective appropriation of spatial modesty’. The article advances gender and organizational space scholarship by critically assessing Lefebvre's theory of space through the lenses of Islamic feminism and offers a cultural‐religious understanding of space theory.
Consumers' Expectations of Liking, Emotional, Conceptual and Sustainability Characteristics of Dairy, Plant‐Based and Sustainable Yoghurts

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTAn online survey of consumers' liking, emotional, conceptual and sustainability expectations in response to traditional, plant‐based (PB), and sustainable yoghurt product names was conducted with 1206 New Zealanders. Results showed that consumers' sensory expectations are associated with hedonic and non‐sensory expectations. Consumers' sensory, emotional, conceptual and sustainability ideations and the impact of these variables on expected liking parallel the findings from recent tests of tasted yoghurts. Per cognitive theories of predictive processing, the results support the hypothesis that judgments of sensory expectations may provide important insights into likely product perceptions. The results also support the notion that surveys of consumer product expectations can be a tool to obtain consumer insights about new products, including PB and sustainable alternatives. Since sensory expectations were associated with non‐sensory expectations, modifying the sensory attributes of PB or other innovative yoghurt products may enhance consumers' conceptualizations of these products and improve their market acceptance.
