AbstractThe REAl(Si,Ge) (RE = rare earth) family, known to break both the inversion- and time-reversal symmetries, represents one of the most suitable platforms for investigating the interplay between correlated-electron phenomena and topologically nontrivial bands. Here, we report on systematic magnetic, transport, and muon-spin rotation and relaxation (uSR) measurements on (Nd,Sm)AlGe single crystals, which exhibit antiferromagnetic (AFM) transitions at TN = 6.1 and 5.9 K, respectively. In addition, NdAlGe undergoes also an incommensurate-to-commensurate ferrimagnetic transition at 4.5 K. Weak transverse-field µSR measurements confirm the AFM transitions, featuring a ∼90% magnetic volume fraction. Zero-field (ZF) µSR measurements reveal a more disordered internal field distribution in NdAlGe than in SmAlGe, reflected in a larger transverse muon-spin relaxation rate λT at T ≪ TN. This may be due to the complex magnetic structure of NdAlGe, which undergoes a series of metamagnetic transitions in an external magnetic field, while SmAlGe shows only a robust AFM order. In NdAlGe, the topological Hall effect (THE) appears between the first and the second metamagnetic transitions for H ∥ c, while it is absent in SmAlGe. Such THE in NdAlGe is most likely attributed to the field-induced topological spin textures. The longitudinal muon-spin relaxation rate λL, diverges near the AFM order, followed by a clear drop at T < TN. In the magnetically ordered state, spin fluctuations are significantly stronger in NdAlGe than in SmAlGe. In general, our longitudinal-field μSR data indicate vigorous spin fluctuations in NdAlGe, thus providing valuable insights into the origin of THE and of the possible topological spin textures in REAl(Si,Ge) Weyl semimetals.

Abstract
Purpose
Within the Paediatric Rare Tumours Network—European Registry (PARTNER) project, we aimed to evaluate the situation on the registration and management of paediatric patients affected by very rare tumours (VRT) in the European low health expenditure average rates (LHEAR) countries.

Methods
A survey regarding infrastructure, organisation, and clinical decision-making information on VRT was designed. This survey was distributed to the representatives of LHEAR countries involved in the activities of the PARTNER Work Package 7.

Results
Eighteen answers from 17 countries were collected regarding the national organisation, methods of registration of VRT cases, the availability of medical experts in VRT, the access to updated diagnostic and therapeutic procedures (such as proton therapy, immunotherapy and, targeted therapies), and research on paediatric VRT. A high variability in the registration and management of patients with VRT has been observed with additional wide inequalities in pathology review, uniformity of clinical decisions, availability of selected procedures, and diagnostic and research tools.

Conclusion
In the majority of LHEAR countries, no clinical or research structures have been implemented for children and adolescents with VRT. Therefore, VRT still have an orphan status in these countries. These significant differences on the technology access and use between European regions need to be addressed.

Published: September 2024

AbstractThe current study examined the acculturation profiles among Turkish immigrant parents (n = 943) in England, Germany, the Netherlands, and Norway, hereby considering the different national integration policies. Using a data-driven approach by applying Latent Profile Analysis, we identified four acculturation profiles in the total sample as well as in the samples per country: assimilation, integration, separation, and marginalization. Although nearly complete metric measurement equivalence of the profiles across countries was established, one deviating profile was found in the Netherlands. The profiles across countries differed in size, which was tentatively related to the predominant integration policies of the countries. In England, characterized by a relatively multicultural national integration policy, the integration profile was more prominent compared to other countries, whereas in countries with a stronger emphasis on assimilation (the Netherlands, Norway regarding language education) or with a history of exclusion and segregation (Germany), the assimilation and separation profiles were relatively large. Implications for national and local policy are discussed in the light of the pressure on immigrants, especially parents, to assimilate into the majority society.
Reflecting Experiences of Regional Academic, Tourism, and Education Specialists in Geoheritage Evaluation for Fujairah, UAE and Southeast Arabia

Published: September 2024

AbstractIn Southeast Arabia (i.e. the United Arab Emirates [UAE] and Oman), geoconservation is a budding initiative, but to date, there has been limited evaluation of geoheritage sites in this region. Many geoheritage evaluation methods have been developed over the last 20 years, but the most popular methods reflect experiences from experts in Europe. The representativeness of these methods for different regional, cultural, and social contexts requires scrutiny. This study developed the first parametric method for geoheritage evaluation focused on Southeast Arabia, using Fujairah, UAE as a case study. The study applied a novel approach based on questionnaires completed by regional geoscience academics, local nature tourism professionals, and local science teachers. The preferences they expressed for scientific value, educational value, and touristic value, respectively, were used to develop the evaluation method. To test the requirements for informed decisions by tourism professionals and science teachers, the study compared results of questionnaires from two occasions: after a seminar on regional geoheritage sites, and after site visits. The resulting method deviates from previous methods in the relative weight it places on various criteria, substantiating the need to target wider regional voices in methods for geoheritage evaluation in Fujairah and Southeast Arabia. It reflects the need to consider cultural and societal differences, as well as curricular requirements for the educational value, that are not highlighted in existing evaluation methods. The applicability of the method was tested and confirmed by ranking geosites in Fujairah, and the method could be used at a regional scale in the future.
Statistics Evolution and Revolution to Meet Data Science Challenges
Authors: Wu Hulin 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThe advent of the Big Data era has necessitated a transformational shift in statistical research, responding to the novel demands of data science. Despite extensive discourse within statistical communities on confronting these emerging challenges, we offer our unique perspectives, underscoring the extended responsibilities of statisticians in pre-analysis and post-analysis tasks. Moreover, we propose a new definition and classification of Big Data based on data sources: Type I Big Data, which is the result of aggregating a large number of small datasets via data sharing and curation, and Type II Big Data, which is the Real-World Data (RWD) amassed from business operations and practices. Each category necessitates distinct data preprocessing and preparation (DPP) methods, and the objectives of analysis as well as the interpretation of results can significantly diverge between these two types of Big Data. We further suggest that the statistical communities should consider adopting and rapidly incorporating new paradigms and cultures by learning from other disciplines. Particularly, beyond Breiman’s (Stat Sci 16(3):199–231, 2021) two modeling cultures, statisticians may need to pay more attention to a newly emerging third culture: the integration of algorithmic modeling with multi-scale dynamic modeling based on fundamental physics laws or mechanisms that generate the data. We draw from our experience in numerous related research projects to elucidate these novel concepts and perspectives.
On the decomposition of the extensions of the Gini index that are based on the ‘metallic’ sequences of number theory
Authors: Bárcena-Martin Elena , Silber Jacques 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThe present paper extends the work of Subramanian (Econ Bull 41(4):2309–2319, 2021), as well as that of Creedy and Subramanian (Exploring a new class of inequality measures and associated value judgements: Gini and Fibonacci-type sequences, 2022), by showing how this new extension of the Gini index may be decomposed by income sources, income classes and population subgroups. It also gives an empirical illustration applying this extension of the Gini index to the analysis of the inequality in expenditure on social protection among European countries in 2018. In the decomposition by benefit function it appears that the housing function consistently exhibits the smallest contribution, due to its low expenditure weight, while the old-age function has the lowest inequality but the highest contribution, due to its substantial expenditure weight. The family/children function's contribution increases when a higher weight is given to lower expenditures, highlighting a pronounced inequality at lower expenditure levels. Conversely, the old-age function shows higher inequality among countries with higher expenditures. In the breakdown by welfare systems, we observe greater inequality between systems than within them.
Discrimination in Middle Eastern and North African Americans predicts Worse Mental Health as Mediated by Sleep
Authors: Rastegar Pedram , Zendels Philip , Peterman Amy 
Published: September 2024

AbstractDiscrimination is a salient stressor linked with a variety of health outcomes including depression and anxiety among Middle Eastern and North African Americans (MENA). Among other minoritized racial and ethnic groups, sleep difficulties have been identified as potential mechanisms that explain the relationship between discrimination and mental health. However, this has not been explored within MENA samples. Thus, the focus of this study is to examine if two sleep measures (e.g., sleep disturbance and sleep-related impairment) mediate the relationship between discrimination and two mental health outcomes: depression and anxiety. We recruited 126 MENA adults from across the USA through Prolific. Findings revealed that sleep-related impairment fully mediated the relationship between discrimination and mental health outcomes, whereas sleep disturbances only partially mediated these outcomes. Results suggest sleep difficulties are one pathway that could explain the relationship between discrimination and mental health among MENA. Future work should continue to explore this relationship, as well as investigate discrimination and sleep as possible places of intervention to protect the health of MENA individuals.

Authors: Kearney Matthew D. , Eaton Tiffany M. , Grabill Megan , Anderson Siani , Kumanyika Shiriki 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Background
Food and beverage (F&B) marketing practices that contradict health guidelines are particularly concerning for children and adolescents, who are developmentally more susceptible than adults to persuasive advertising and to Black communities, due to ethnically-targeted marketing, contributing to higher rates of obesity and other diet-related chronic diseases. Accordingly, here we evaluated Operation Good Food and Beverages (OGF&B), an online social marketing campaign calling for shifting toward more marketing of healthier F&B to Black youth and Black communities.

Methods
OGF&B was developed and implemented by a multidisciplinary team of academic, advocacy, and advertising partners and active for four months in 2022 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Primary campaign components were social media content (e.g., TikTok, Instagram), and an informational website with a signable petition and a social media toolkit. Our mixed-methods evaluation used qualitative data to contextualize quantitative metrics like online impressions, website visits, and petition signatures. Qualitative data consisted of analysis of social media content and thematic elements from 15 interviews with campaign advisors, youth consultants, and influencers.

Results
The campaign achieved 3,148,869 impressions, 3,799 unique website visits, and 1,077 petition signatures. Instagram Reels and content featuring people had higher engagement. Instagram Reels received more likes than static posts or TikTok videos. Interviewees who participated mentioned personal values and community welfare as key motivations. Social media influencers who declined participation noted time constraints and lack of compensation as barriers.

Conclusion
Despite pandemic-related restrictions that precluded in-person engagement, this brief campaign implementation period provided useful insights for leveraging OGF&B or similar campaigns.
Psychische Gesundheit und Burnout-Risiko bei weiblichen Beschäftigten verschiedener Berufsgruppen mit hohem Anteil an Interaktionsarbeit
Authors: Rother Janosch , Darius Sabine , Thielmann Beatrice , Böckelmann Irina 
Published: September 2024

Zusammenfassung
Interaktionsarbeit ist charakteristisch für Dienstleistungs‑, Gesundheits- und Sozialberufe, in denen der Austausch mit Kunden, Patienten, Klienten oder Schülern eine zentrale Rolle spielt. Sie umfasst ein breites Spektrum von Tätigkeiten, die sowohl emotionale als auch kognitive Fähigkeiten erfordern und oft die Bewältigung von emotionaler Arbeit beinhalten, wie das Management der eigenen Gefühle und die Beeinflussung der Emotionen anderer im Rahmen der beruflichen Rolle. Ziel der Studie war es, die psychische Gesundheit und das Burnout-Risiko von Beschäftigten verschiedener Berufsgruppen mit einem hohen Anteil an Interaktionsarbeit zu untersuchen und vergleichend zu analysieren. An der Untersuchung nahmen 309 Frauen aus drei verschiedenen Berufsgruppen (dialogisch-interaktive Erwerbsarbeit bei Erzieherinnen und medizinischen Fachangestellten sowie reine Interaktionsarbeit bei Bankkauffrauen) mit einem Durchschnittsalter von 43,1 ± 11,5 Jahren teil. Die psychische Gesundheit wurde mit dem General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) und das Burnout-Risiko mit dem Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) untersucht.
Der Gesamtwert des GHQ lag bei 12,2 ± 5,4 Punkten, wobei bei diesem Parameter kein statistisch signifikanter Unterschied zwischen den Interaktionsberufen festgestellt werden konnte. Lediglich in der MBI-Dimension „Leistungsfähigkeit“ fanden sich signifikante Unterschiede zwischen Erzieherinnen und Medizinischen Fachangestellten (p = 0,041), wobei die Erzieherinnen eine geringere Leistungsfähigkeit angaben. Weitere Unterschiede fanden sich zwischen den Berufsgruppen nicht. Insgesamt ergab sich ein hohes Burnout-Risiko von 4 % bei der Gesamtstichprobe, was in etwa der Lebenszeitprävalenz in Deutschland entspricht.
Das Fehlen signifikanter Unterschiede bei Burnout und psychischen Beeinträchtigungen zwischen Interaktionsarbeit im Dienstleistungssektor und in Gesundheits- und Sozialberufen lässt sich durch ähnliche Arbeitsanforderungen erklären, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die in beiden Bereichen zentrale Emotionsarbeit und soziale Interaktion. Die ständige Notwendigkeit, mit den Emotionen anderer umzugehen und die eigenen Gefühle zu regulieren, kann gleichermaßen zu emotionaler Erschöpfung führen – unabhängig von der Art der Interaktionsarbeit. Soziale Unterstützung am Arbeitsplatz und effektive Bewältigungsstrategien könnten in den untersuchten Berufsgruppen ähnlich ausgeprägt sein und somit die Auswirkungen der Interaktionsarbeit auf die psychische Gesundheit abmildern.
The PreDI matrix-a common terminology for offsite construction: definition, verification, and demonstration in environmental impact studies
Authors: Chaudhary Kaden , Pan Annika , Yin Hongxi , Qu Ming , Wang Cindy , Yi David 
Published: September 2024

AbstractGiven the increasing interest in offsite construction and the prefabricated components it produces, this paper aims to establish a common matrix, the PreDI, for the offsite construction industry. The effort is to enhance the comparability of research and practices in offsite construction, making it more universally understood. Offsite construction involves manufacturing components in a factory and then assembling them on-site. It is considered a more sustainable approach due to less material usage, energy consumption, and waste generation during component fabrication. However, the lack of common terminology for offsite construction poses many challenges in the industry and its research, hindering communication and research.The Prefabricated Dimensions and Integrations (PreDI) matrix, developed in the study, provides a solution for industry and research use. Thus, industry and academia can utilize the PreDI widely, accurately, and precisely in communication. This paper demonstrates the PreDI matrix’s application in life cycle assessment research on offsite construction, showcasing its utility and setting the stage for more robust research analyses in the future. Using the PreDI matrix in 24 U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon houses further highlights its potential in the industry. Finally, the paper concludes with a broader outlook on its impacts on offsite construction.

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Objective
This article sought to explore how older people maintained their health and managed chronic conditions during the 2019-2020 Black Summer bushfires, floods, and COVID-19 pandemic in Australia. This knowledge is important in the context of intersecting public health and environmental hazards.

Methods
Qualitative, semi-structured interviews were undertaken with 19 community-dwelling older people living in South Eastern New South Wales, a region significantly impacted by the successive disasters.

Results
Three themes summarized participants’ experiences. Participants described disruption to daily activities and social networks, delayed treatment and disruption to health services, and the exacerbation of health issues and emergence of new health challenges as
challenges to managing health and self-care
.
Strategies for staying healthy
were described as drawing on connections and relationships and maintaining a sense of normalcy. Finally, the
compounding nature of disasters
highlighted the impact of successive events.

Conclusions
Understanding older people’s experiences of self-care during disasters is critical for developing interventions that are better targeted to their needs. This study highlights the importance of social connectedness, habit, and routine in health and well-being. Results should inform policymaking and guide interventions in health care for older people.
The complex relationship between precipitation and productivity in drylands
Authors: Wang Lixin , Collins Scott L. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Drylands provide multiple essential services to human society, and dryland vegetation is one of the foundations of these services. There is a paradox, however, in the vegetation productivity–precipitation relationship in drylands. Although water is the most limiting resource in these systems, a strong relationship between precipitation and productivity does not always occur. Such a paradox affects our understanding of dryland vegetation dynamics and hinders our capacity to predict dryland vegetation responses under future climates. In this perspective, we examine the possible causes of the dryland precipitation–productivity paradox. We argue that the underlying reasons depend on the location and scale of the study. Sometimes multiple factors may interact, resulting in a less significant relationship between vegetation growth and water availability. This means that when we observe a poor correlation between vegetation growth and water availability, there are potentially missing sources of water input or a lack of consideration of other important processes. The paradox could also be related to the inaccurate measurement of vegetation productivity and water availability indicators. Incorporating these complexities into predictive models will help us better understand the complex relationship between water availability and dryland ecosystem processes and improve our ability to predict how these ecosystems will respond to the multiple facets of climate change.
Clive Palmer’s claims against Australia for billions renew pressure to remove investor rights to sue governments from trade agreements
Authors: Ranald Patricia 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThe Australian debate over Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) sharpened in 2023 because Australian mining billionaire Clive Palmer, having previously registered his mining company in Singapore, has claimed to be a Singaporean investor. He is using ISDS provisions in the 2012 ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement and the amended 2017 Singapore-Australia Free Trade Agreement to sue the Australian government for a total of A$410 billion in three separate claims. This article uses Cox’s critical theory framework developed by Schneiderman to explain the historical development and power dynamics of ISDS, the contest between its business supporters and social movement critics, and the impact of this contest on governments. It then analyses the Palmer claims and explores the global debate about ISDS, including its increased use by fossil fuel companies against government regulation of carbon emissions, which has led to increased resistance from social movements and governments. ISDS is also being reviewed by the United Nations and World Bank institutions which provide arbitrators for its tribunals and by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The conclusion assesses the debate over whether ISDS can be reformed and its future viability.
