Risk and Influencing Factors for School Absenteeism among Students on the Autism Spectrum—A Systematic Review
Authors: Sasso Isabella , Sansour Teresa 
Published: September 2024

AbstractSchool plays an important role in the development of a child. The impact of school absenteeism extends beyond academic achievement, affecting one's ability to participate in life successfully. In particular, children with difficulties in communication and interaction are at risk of developing school absences. This systematic review therefore focused on school absenteeism among children on the autism spectrum and examined the risk and influencing factors contributing to school absences. Eighteen studies were included, thirteen of which used a quantitative design, two of which were mixed-method studies, and three of which had a qualitative design. Different studies had varying definitions of school absenteeism and employed diverse study designs, prompting the need for a narrative synthesis. We evaluated the data regarding the factors of individual, parental, and school based on the KiTes bioecological systems framework for school attendance and absence by Melvin et al. (2019). We identified the majority of risks and influences in relation to the school factor and identified interacting factors contributing to school absenteeism in all factors. We recognised research gaps and provided guidance for further research.
On the Influencing Factors of Non-asphalt Originated Rutting in Flexible Pavements
Authors: Vámos Máté János , Szendefy János 
Published: September 2024

AbstractRutting can substantially impact pavement serviceability and driving safety. Since most of the permanent deformation develops in the unbound layers beneath the asphalt course, the focus should be on these layers. In this research, rut depths were calculated and analyzed using the high-cycle accumulation model, where the resilient response and cyclic strain amplitude were determined through finite element analysis. Consequently, settlement depression curves were described for various subgrades and cross-sections. It was observed that grain size distribution, particularly the uniformity coefficient, plays a decisive role in rutting depth. Analysis of the relationship between settlements and axle loads indicates that the calculated settlements demonstrate a linear increase relative to the axle load. For various axle loads, the number of axle passes required to induce an equivalent settlement to the standard axle was established. The possibility to reduce the depth of ruts by increasing the thickness of the subbase was also investigated. It was found that the predicted rutting is highly influenced by the particle shape (angular, rounded, or mixed material) of the subbase. It was found that the primary portion of permanent deformations occurs within the subgrade.

Abstract
Objectives
Epidemiology showed that the falling incidences increased with advanced age, and recent findings found link between nutritional intake and risk of falls. Nevertheless, the relationship between different plant-based diets and the risk of falls in older adults remains unclear. Our investigation aimed to evaluate the correlation between various plant-based diet indices and the occurrence of falls.

Design
This study is a cross-sectional and post-hoc analysis from a national cohort study.

Setting and participants
We included individuals over 65 years from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) recruited in 2018 with information on falls and dietary assessments, finally 11,044 participants were eligible.

Measurements
Using food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), we calculated plant-based index scores categorized as unhealthy plant-based index (uPDI) and healthy plant-based index (hPDI). The primary outcome was falls obtained from questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed utilizing logistic regression model to investigate the relationship between the plant-based diet indices and falls. We also used the subgroup analysis to investigate the interaction of falls and plant-based diet index (PDI) among different status and used the restricted cubic spline (RCS) curves to investigate the connection between the PDI scores and falls risk.

Results
Among 11,044 participants included in our study, a total of 2493 fall cases were observed. The logistic regression analysis revealed that the plant-based index related to falls. In the adjusted model, per 10-unit increment of hPDI has a significant decreased risk of falls (odd ratio [OR]: 0.85, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.79–0.91, P for trend < 0.001) and per 10-unit increment in uPDI increased the risk of falls (OR: 1.21, 95% CI: 1.13–1.30, P for trend < 0.001). We also revealed an interaction between smoking status and falls among the uPDI group (Pinteraction = 0.012). Finally, we found that with plant-based index scores increased, the odds of falls among hPDI decreased (P for overall < 0.001, P nonlinear = 0.0239), and the odds of falls among uPDI increased (P for overall < 0.001, P nonlinear = 0.0332).

Conclusion and implications
We found significant association between the Plant-based diet index and the risk of falls, highlighting the key role of the consumption of nutritious plant-based foods on the risk of falls, which needed take into account in developing intervention and prevention strategies to decrease falls among older Chinese adults.

AbstractThe Learning Management Systems (LMS) have garnered attention in Higher Education due to their significant potential as a robust learning tool; however, their mere existence does not guarantee adoption and acceptance. The objective of this study was to analyze quantitative research on the intention and usage of LMS among university professors. The method employed was a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines. Databases such as Scopus, WOS, EBSCOhost, and SciElo were explored from 2013 to 2023. The results indicated that (a) the most frequent objective was to determine factors influencing LMS usage, (b) the average number of participants was 239, (c) the highest productivity (61%) was observed in Asia, (d) the most common limitation about the sample, (e) the most frequently used theoretical model (69%) was the Technology Acceptance Model, (f) the models also included other variables grouped into personal, technological, social, and institutional factors; (g) The predictive power of the models on LMS usage intention was moderate, while for current LMS usage, it ranged from small to moderate; (h) measurements were self-reported; (i) ultimately, the majority measured only the intention of LMS usage (54%), 15% measured only the current usage of LMS, and 31% measured both. In conclusion, limitations, future research directions, and recommendations for the integration and consolidation of LMS usage by faculty are presented.

AbstractThere is demand for the development of highly functional and flexible bone fillers to treat bone defects. This research aimed to fabricate calcium phosphate implants with a flexible porous design and sufficient compressive stress using a three-dimensional 3D printer. A mixed slurry of dicalcium phosphate, calcium hydroxide, photopolymerized resin, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) was prepared using a planetary ball mill. The slurry was formed into a porous model using a stereolithography-type 3D printer. Upon sintering, the resin and PEG evaporated and/or combusted, yielding a β- tricalcium phosphate (TCP) molding with porosity. This study proposes a novel method for freely molding calcium phosphate implants.
Mortuary rituals and social change from the Neolithic to the Iron Age in Thailand
Authors: Higham C. F. W. 
Published: September 2024

AbstractDisposal of the dead reflects decisions on many levels made by the living. Extensive area excavations in key sites located in Central and Northeast Thailand now present sufficient evidence for an assessment of social change over a period of ca. 3000 years, that began with late hunter-gatherers and continuing through the arrival of the first farming communities, their adoption of bronze metallurgy, to be succeeded by the Iron Age and its transition into early states. Throughout this ca 150 generational sequence, the men, women, infants and children were interred within settlements, usually in individual graves and associated with a range of mortuary offerings. These could be utilitarian, symbolic or exotica perceived as having intrinsic value. Dispersed, nucleated, and agglomerated burial patterns have all been identified, as well as graves within domestic houses. These patterns changed over time, but never indicated unidirectional progress towards increasing social complexity. By relating the pulses of change to the advent of new materials such as bronze and new climatic conditions, the evidence now suggests that the more nucleated the burials, the more likely they were to involve social aggrandizers. The most recent of these developed into the highly-ranked early states of Dvaravati and Chenla, where the aggrandizers were named and their actions recorded.

Published: September 2024

AbstractIn recent years, fluorescent sensors are enjoying a surge of popularity in the field of neuroscience. Through the development of novel genetically encoded sensors as well as improved methods of detection and analysis, fluorescent sensing has risen as a new major technique in neuroscience alongside molecular, electrophysiological, and imaging methods, opening up new avenues for research. Combined with multiphoton microscopy and fiber photometry, these sensors offer unique advantages in terms of cellular specificity, access to multiple targets – from calcium dynamics to neurotransmitter release to intracellular processes – as well as high capability for in vivo interrogation of neurobiological mechanisms underpinning behavior. Here, we provide a brief overview of the method, present examples of its integration with other tools in recent studies ranging from cellular to systems neuroscience, and discuss some of its principles and limitations, with the aim of introducing new potential users to this rapidly developing and potent technique.

AbstractThe applicability and accuracy of high‐resolution Real‐Time Meso‐scale Analysis (RTMA) system is assessed over India for the first time. The RTMA is a high‐spatial (2.5 km) and temporal resolution analysis system for near‐surface weather conditions. It is used to simulate near‐surface air temperature over India during the Heatwave (HW) period 12th to 20th April 2023. The verification analysis of temperature using the GLDAS gridded temperature shows reasonable improvement in the analysis from RTMA by capturing regional features compared to first‐guess. The spatial and temporal verification using the IMD station observations also confirms the value addition of RTMA in capturing the locations of recorded highest Tmax and their daily variations. The location‐specific heat stress analysis of RTMA shows high skill over many locations during HW days. Heat stress regions have been accurately brought out in the RTMA. Hence, the RTMA can be used for now‐casting and severe weather monitoring.
Opposing Changes in Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall Variability Produced by Orbital and Anthropogenic Forcing
Authors: He Jiazhi , Sun Weiyi , Wang Bin , Liu Jian , Ning Liang , Yan Mi 
Published: September 2024

AbstractFuture projections indicate that Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall (ISMR) faces a “wetter and more variable” climate. However, the reasons remain uncertain. The Last Interglacial (LIG) climate provides a potential analog for future warming. Investigating ISMR responses to these two warming scenarios could help understand the causes of ISMR changes. Using PMIP4 simulations, we find that ISMR became “wetter and more stable” during the LIG, contrasting the future climate. The opposing changes in ISMR variability are related to divergent changes in the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) amplitudes, ENSO‐ISMR relationships, and ENSO‐induced large‐scale atmospheric circulation anomalies. During the LIG, orbital forcing weakened ENSO variability and its impacts on ISMR. A westward positioning of ENSO shifted the atmospheric circulation anomalies westward, suppressing extreme ISMR anomalies. These processes are supported by atmospheric model simulations. Our results suggest that different warming patterns (dynamic effects) are more critical than moisture‐increasing effects in controlling regional climate variability.
Why Is Decadal Climate Variability Predominantly Observed in the Niño4 Region?
Authors: San Sieu‐Cuong , Tseng Yu‐Heng , Ding Ruiqiang , Di Lorenzo Emanuele 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis study investigates why observed decadal‐scale climate variability is predominantly pronounced in the Niño4 region compared to other equatorial Pacific areas using both observation and model sensitivity experiments. The initial shift to the negative phase of Tropical Pacific Decadal Variability (TPDV) is primarily driven by the upward and eastward migration of isopycnal negative temperature anomalies along the equator. Subsequently, the wind fields associated with the negative phase of the Pacific Meridional Mode (PMM) induce anomalous vertical currents in the equatorial Pacific. This leads to anomalous upwelling and downwelling of mean temperature in the Niño4 and Niño3 regions, respectively, thereby strengthening and weakening the corresponding subsurface‐produced sea surface temperature anomalies. Our findings clarify the roles of subsurface temperature anomalies in the phase reversal of TPDV and PMM in amplifying decadal variance, specifically in the equatorial central Pacific.

AbstractThis study investigates the intricate relationship between earthquake sources and seismogenic surface ruptures in a complex tectonic setting with active faults in the continental collision zone between the southern Tien Shan and the northern Pamir Mountains in Central Asia. The study focuses on the 2008 Mw 6.6 Nura earthquake along the Pamir Frontal Thrust, where the seismogenic surface rupture occurred unexpectedly within the footwall and 10 km away from the source thrust fault. This discrepancy raises questions about the interactions and potential trigger mechanisms between tectonic structures during earthquake rupture. Using unmanned aerial vehicle photography and field inspection, our investigation integrates detailed fault‐zone mapping with tectono‐geomorphic observations to unravel potential interactions between subsurface structures and surface‐deformation phenomena. Our findings suggest that a combination of slip along deep‐seated basement faults and remotely triggered flexural slip within folded Paleogene strata led to surface rupture of overlying Quaternary glacial deposits. Geomorphological and geochronological analyses coupled with systematic displacement measurements furthermore reveal evidence of similar past ruptures within the regional fault system, suggesting a recurrence interval of 1.7 kyr and a Holocene vertical offset rate of 0.4 mm/yr. The analysis of the Nura rupture zone contributes significantly to evaluate linkages between surface and subsurface structures regarding fault‐zone behavior and seismic hazard assessments. Importantly, our results highlight the critical role of on‐site investigations in regions with poorly defined surface ruptures, where misinterpretation may lead to the underestimation of the impact of seismic events and limitations in assessing earthquake history and strain accumulation.
Seeing invisible objects with intelligent optics

Published: September 2024

AbstractTransparent objects are invisible to traditional cameras because they can only detect intensity fluctuations, necessitating the need for interferometry followed by computationally intensive digital image processing. Now it is shown that the necessary transformations can be performed optically by combining machine learning and diffractive optics, for a direct in-situ measurement of transparent objects with conventional cameras.

Published: September 2024

AbstractThe demand for high-performance electromechanical resonators is ever-growing across diverse applications, ranging from sensing and time-keeping to advanced communication devices. Among the electromechanical materials being explored, thin-film lithium niobate stands out due to its strong piezoelectric properties and low acoustic loss. However, in nearly all existing lithium niobate electromechanical devices, the configuration is such that the electrodes are in direct contact with the mechanical resonator. This configuration introduces an undesirable mass-loading effect, producing spurious modes and additional damping. Here, we present an electromechanical platform that mitigates this challenge by leveraging a flip-chip bonding technique to separate the electrodes from the mechanical resonator. By offloading the electrodes from the resonator, our approach yields a substantial increase in the quality factor of these resonators, paving the way for enhanced performance and reliability for their device applications.
Impact of Kangaroo mother care on autonomic cardiovascular control in foetal-growth-restricted preterm infants
Authors: Tian Yueyang , Inocencio Ishmael M. , Sehgal Arvind , Wong Flora Y. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Background
Kangaroo mother care (KMC) is WHO-recommended for low-birth-weight infants, yet its impact on autonomic cardiovascular control in preterm foetal growth-restricted (FGR) infants remains unclear. We hypothesised that KMC would promote autonomic cardiovascular control, benefiting preterm FGR infants with reduced baseline autonomic function compared to appropriate for gestational age (AGA) infants.

Methods
Autonomic control was assessed via heart rate variability (HRV) in low frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF) bands using spectral analysis. Preterm FGR (n = 22) and AGA (n = 20) infants were assessed for 30-min before and 60-min during KMC. Comparisons were made between FGR and AGA infants; and between infants with baseline HRV below and above median.

Results
Overall, no significant HRV changes were observed during KMC for FGR or AGA infants compared to baselines. Infants with low baseline HRV LF showed increased HRV during KMC (p = 0.02 and 0.05 for the entire group and FGR group, respectively). This effect was absent in the AGA group regardless of baseline HRV. Infants with high baseline HRV had decreased HRV during KMC.

Conclusions
Infants with low baseline HRV, suggesting reduced autonomic control, are more likely to benefit from KMC with increased HRV. Further, this effect is stronger in FGR than AGA infants.

Impact

Kangaroo mother care (KMC) is WHO-recommended for low-birth-weight infants, yet its impact on autonomic cardiovascular control in preterm foetal growth-restricted (FGR) infants is unclear.

Preterm infants with low baseline heart rate variability (HRV) are more likely to benefit from KMC and increase their HRV suggesting improved autonomic control.

This effect is stronger in preterm FGR infants than those with appropriate growth for age.

Abstract
Background
Androgen-receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) have dramatically changed the management of advanced/metastatic prostate cancer (PCa). However, their cardiovascular toxicity remains to be clarified.

Objective
To analyze and compare the risks of cardiovascular events secondary to treatment of PCa patients with different ARPIs.

Methods
In August 2023, we queried PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases to identify randomized controlled studies (RCTs) that analyze PCa patients treated with abiraterone, apalutamide, darolutamide, and enzalutamide. The primary outcomes of interest were the incidence of cardiac disorder, heart failure, ischemic heart disease (IHD), atrial fibrillation (AF), and hypertension. Network meta-analyses (NMAs) were conducted to compare the differential outcomes of each ARPI plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) compared to standard of care (SOC).

Results
Overall, 26 RCTs were included. ARPIs were associated with an increased risk of cardiac disorders (RR: 1.74, 95% CI: 1.13–2.68, p = 0.01), heart failure (RR: 2.49, 95% CI: 1.05–5.91, p = 0.04), AF (RR: 2.15, 95% CI: 1.14–4.07, p = 0.02), and hypertension (RR: 2.06, 95% CI: 1.67–2.54, p < 0.01) at grade ≥3. Based on NMAs, abiraterone increased the risk of grade ≥3 cardiac disorder (RR:2.40, 95% CI: 1.42–4.06) and hypertension (RR:2.19, 95% CI: 1.77–2.70). Enzalutamide was associated with the increase of grade ≥3 AF(RR: 3.17, 95% CI: 1.05–9.58) and hypertension (RR:2.30, 95% CI: 1.82–2.92).

Conclusions
The addition of ARPIs to ADT increases the risk of cardiac disorders, including IHD and AF, as well as hypertension. Each ARPI exhibits a distinct cardiovascular event profile. Selecting patients carefully and vigilant monitoring for cardiovascular issues is imperative for those undergoing ARPI + ADT treatment.
