An inclusive framework for automated web content accessibility evaluation
Authors: Ara Jinat , Sik-Lanyi Cecilia , Kelemen Arpad , Guzsvinecz Tibor 
Published: October 2024

AbstractSince 1996, web accessibility evaluation has been an important aspect of web development to increase social inclusion for people with special needs. Several web accessibility evaluation and testing tools have been developed to automatically evaluate websites in order to identify barriers for people with disabilities. The developed tools are significant since their aim is to effectively represent accessibility issues. However, a few issues with website accessibility cannot be identified through the existing accessibility testing tools due to several limitations, including (i) inappropriate guideline selection, (ii) ambiguities in guideline understanding, (iii) avoiding user and expert suggestions as evaluation criteria, (iv) limited consideration of semantic perspectives, and (iv) unwillingness to incorporate the updated engineering methods. Therefore, reported results may be unclear and inappropriate for some users. Such limitations are critical factors that reduce the effectiveness of the developed tools. These issues cause unwillingness to use a particular tool or possible adoption of other tools. In this situation, we must identify which aspects are important to incorporate in the development in order to make the developed solution more effective as it allows users to make their website accessible to people with disabilities. In this paper, first, we present a literature review of different existing solutions for web accessibility testing to identify their challenges and limitations. Following the reported findings, we propose an automated web accessibility evaluation framework addressing several accessibility aspects to improve the evaluation results by mitigating the limitations of existing solutions. The proposed framework is validated by comparing it with existing automated solutions considering their functional properties. The proposed accessibility framework might be beneficial for web developers, accessibility engineers, and other practitioners to incorporate into their development and research.
The effect of carbapenem-resistant versus carbapenem-susceptible Enterobacterales infections on patient outcomes at an academic medical center
Authors: Clark Justin A. , Burgess David S. , Moga Daniela C. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Objective:
We sought to compare patient outcomes between carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) and carbapenem-susceptible Enterobacterales (CSE) infections at our academic medical center.

Design:
We conducted a retrospective cohort study of adult patients with a positive culture of E. coli, E. cloacae, K. aerogenes, K. oxytoca, and/or K. pneumoniae admitted at UK HealthCare (January 1, 2010–December 31, 2019). Based on the type of pathogen on the date of the first culture (index date), patients were included in the CRE (i.e., exposed) group, or the CSE (comparator) group. Exclusion criteria were age < 18 years old, pregnancy, endocarditis, osteomyelitis, necrotizing fasciitis, or cystic fibrosis. We evaluated the impact of CRE vs CSE on a composite outcome of 30-day of all-cause mortality or discharge to hospice using Kaplan–Meier survival curves and Cox proportional hazard regression with inverse probability of treatment weights (IPTW).

Results:
Of 17,839 hospitalized patients, 128 and 6,953 patients were included in the CRE and CSE groups, respectively. Baseline differences existed in sex-assigned-at-birth, admission source, time-to-index culture, and infection type/severity. Most CRE index cultures observed (76%) only exhibited resistance to ertapenem. IPTW-adjusted HR [95% CI] of composite outcome was 0.99 [0.65, 1.51] after 30 days. Follow-up analysis in patients with carbapenem-non-susceptible Enterobacteralesbloodstream infections on index yielded an HR of 1.38 [0.85, 2.24].

Conclusions:
Risk of composite outcome was not estimated to differ between patients with CRE and CSE in the overall analysis. Although follow-up analysis identified an increased risk, we cannot statistically distinguish this from a null effect.
pH-Responsive textile with anthocyanin-laden hydrogel yarns: a colorimetric and feasibility study
Authors: Karastathi Nikoletta , Salmane Anete Krista , Parker Brenda 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Responsive materials can transform their visual appearance in reaction to environmental stimuli. One example of such responsiveness involves the use of plant-based anthocyanins as pH-mediated allochroic pigments. Despite the increasing interest and applications of this pigment, its applications in urban contexts are very limited. By using pH-mediated colour change as a phenomenon to trial a colourimetric quantitative framework, this study seeks to bridge smart material design with colour science approaches to enable future scale-up applications. The colour values of anthocyanins immobilised in sodium alginate-based hydrogel discs and yarns were measured in response to varying pH values. The colourimetric measurements in CIELAB colour space provided a device for setting independent colour values that demonstrated a clear pattern across the pH range of 1–12. The colour difference (ΔE00) of mean colour values was perceivably different across the pH scale, with a minimum value of 2.7. Key variables of the process have been summarised, and their relationships have been discussed. Finally, a proof-of-concept small-scale textile prototype encompassing anthocyanin-laden hydrogel yarns was developed. The findings of this study contribute towards the integration of non-destructive means of colour measurement as a quantitative tool for biochemical process evaluation.

Authors: Thuppanattumadam Ananthasubramanian Sangeeth , Arunachal Gautham , Padmanabha Hansashree , Mahale Rohan Ramachandra 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT:

Background:
Vanishing white matter syndrome is one of the leukoencephalopathies caused by recessive mutations in gene EIF2B1–5. Adult-onset EIF2B-pathies (clinical onset after age 16 years) have been reported to be less common.

Objective:
Description of the clinical, imaging and genetic profile of adult-onset EIF2B-pathies and comparison of Indian cohort with Asian and European cohorts.

Methods:
Report of two cases of adult-onset EIF2B-pathies and a comprehensive review of genetically confirmed adult-onset EIF2B-pathies since 2001 from Indian, Asian and European cohorts.

Results:
Two patients were females, with median age at presentation of 25.5 years (24–27 years) and onset at 19 years (18–20 years). The median duration of symptoms was 6.5 years (6–7 years). Both had cerebellar ataxia, spasticity, cognitive impairment and bladder involvement. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed leukoencephalopathy with rarefaction in both patients and corpus callosum involvement in one patient. Genetics showed homozygous missense variant in the EIF2B3 gene in both patients. The Indian cohort of seven patients had similar clinical and radiological features and common variants in EIF2B3 (n = 4). The Asian cohort had 24 cases, and the European cohort had 61 cases with similar clinical features, radiological features and common variants in EIF2B5.

Conclusion:
Adult-onset EIF2B-pathies have a distinct clinical profile of female predominance with cerebellar ataxia, spasticity and cognitive decline as the commonest triad of clinical manifestations and leukoencephalopathy with rarefaction on brain MRI. Variants in EIF2B5 were common in the Asian and European cohorts and EIF2B3 in the Indian cohort.

Anti-colonial raced capitalism in Malaysia: Contested logics, gendered repertoires
Authors: Choong Weng Wai Christopher 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This paper offers a non-Eurocentric account of raced capitalism in Malaysia, articulated as a developmental state project that has navigated the contested racial logics of British colonialism and Japanese imperialism. By historicising Malaysia’s experience, I provide a reading of the Malaysian developmental state as a project that has taken the form of anti-colonial raced capitalism. This is not meant to valorise raced capitalism as anti-colonial, but to suggest that decolonisation must also confront hegemonic elements engraved on the anti-colonial register of nationalised raced capitalism. In bringing a feminist critique to anti-colonial projects that leave capitalist relations uncontested, the paper makes three contributions. First, it recentres race and colonialism in its analysis of the developmental state, offering anti-colonial raced capitalism as a language that speaks to similar projects that enable, legitimise, and obscure new forms of racial/gender domination with counter-hegemonic frames. Second, it brings back politics to anti-colonialism, reestablishing it as a political space with competing visions, imaginations, and agendas, shaped by the geopolitics of empires. Third, it features gender, social reproduction, and the household as key sites to ground the politics of anti-colonialism, enacting the scaffolding for gendered understandings of raced capitalist development on the periphery of the global economy.
Examining generative AI–mediated informal digital learning of English practices with social cognitive theory: a mixed-methods study
Authors: Guan Lihang , Zhang Ellen Yue , Gu Michelle Mingyue 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This study explores the integration of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in informal digital learning of English (IDLE) practices, focusing on its potential to enhance language learning outcomes and addressing the technological challenges language teachers face in utilising AI-based tools to facilitate second language acquisition. Based on the research context of IDLE and holistic learning ecology and drawing on the theoretical frameworks of technological pedagogical and content knowledge and social cognitive theory, we performed a mixed-methods investigation with an empirical experiment to assess the effectiveness of GenAI followed by semi-structured interviews. The results suggest that the GenAI-mediated IDLE practices effectively improve college students’ oral proficiency in English from both technological and humanistic perspectives. However, results also indicate that the GenAI conversational partner alone is not adequate to provoke continuous extramural GenAI-mediated IDLE practices. We discuss the theoretical and pragmatic significance of GenAI-mediated IDLE in educational equity and reformation.

Published: October 2024

AbstractBackground:CHD is associated with considerable burden of care. Up to one-third of babies born with CHD require surgery or intervention during the first year of life with an associated increased risk of surgical site infection. Pediatric wound care is informed largely by adult data, with no national or international guidelines available.Aim:To examine pediatric cardiac surgical wound care practices reported by healthcare professionals Australia and New Zealand-wide.Methods:A bi-national cross-sectional survey exploring pre-, intra- and post-operative wound practices was distributed using Exponential Non-Discriminative Snowball Sampling. Data were subject to descriptive analysis using SPSS Statistics 22.0.Findings:Sixty-eight surveys representing all Australian and New Zealand pediatric cardiac surgical services were analyzed. Most respondents were experienced nurses. Pre-operative care varied greatly in practice and pharmaceutical agents used. Little consistency was reported for intra- and post-operative wound care. Nursing and medical staff shared responsibility for wound care. Wound photography was widely used, but only uploaded to electronic medical records by some.Discussion:These results highlight that wound care management is largely informed at an institutional level. The many practices reported are likely to reflect a range of factors including cardiac condition complexity, surgery, prematurity, and the presence of scar tissue. The importance of a research and training program, which is multimodal, available, and reflective, is highlighted.Conclusion:These findings call for the establishment of a nurse-led program of research and education. The resultant suite of cardiac wound strategies could offer an effective and consistent pathway forward.
Progress of surgical treatment of anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery
Authors: Wang Zhangwei , Ma Kai , Li Shoujun 
Published: October 2024

AbstractAnomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery is a rare CHD. It is the most common type of anomalous coronary origin. It may cause myocardial ischaemia or infarction, mitral regurgitation, congestive heart failure, and early death in infancy if left untreated. Surgery is the only treatment for anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery. In recent years, with advancements in surgical techniques and the widespread utilisation of extracorporeal cardiac assist devices such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, the treatment outcomes for anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery have demonstrated significant improvements. However, the surgical indications and methods of anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery, especially the surgical methods of anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery with intramural coronary artery, and whether to treat mitral regurgitation at the same time are still controversial. The long-term complications and prognosis remain discouraging simultaneously, with significant variations in outcomes across different centres. The present review specifically addresses these aforementioned concerns. Based on the literature published at home and abroad, we found that no matter what type of anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery patients, even asymptomatic patients, regardless of the collateral circulation between the left and right coronary arteries, should immediately undergo surgical treatment to promote the recovery of left ventricular function. Based on different coronary artery anatomical morphology and preoperative cardiac function, the long-term follow-up results of individualised surgical treatment of anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery children show good prognosis, and most children have significant improvement in cardiac function. Patients with moderate to severe mitral regurgitation should undergo mitral valve operation at the same time as anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery repair. Mitral valvuloplasty can quickly improve mitral regurgitation and promote the early recovery of cardiac function after operation, and does not increase the risk of operation. Mechanical circulatory support is a safe and effective means of early postoperative transition for children with severe anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery. Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery with intramural coronary artery is a rare anomaly. According to different anatomical types, different surgical methods can be used for anatomical correction, and satisfactory early and mid-term results can be obtained.

Abstract

Aims
Problem Management Plus (PM+) has been effective in reducing mental health problems among refugees at three-month follow-up, but there is a lack of research on its long-term effectiveness. This study examined the effectiveness of PM+ in reducing symptoms of common mental disorders at 12-month follow-up among Syrian refugees in the Netherlands.

Methods
This single-blind, parallel, controlled trial randomised 206 adult Syrians who screened positive for psychological distress and impaired functioning to either PM+ in addition to care as usual (PM+/CAU) or CAU alone. Assessments were at baseline, 1 week and 3 months after the intervention and 12 months after baseline. Outcomes were psychological distress (Hopkins Symptom Checklist [HSCL-25]), depression (HSCL-25 subscale), anxiety (HSCL-25 subscale), posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms (PCL-5), functional impairment (WHODAS 2.0) and self-identified problems (PSYCHLOPS).

Results
In March 2019–December 2022, 103 participants were assigned to PM+/CAU and 103 to CAU of which 169 (82.0%) were retained at 12 months. Intention-to-treat analyses showed greater reductions in psychological distress at 12 months for PM+/CAU compared to CAU (adjusted mean difference −0.17, 95% CI −0.310 to −0.027; p = 0.01, Cohen’s d = 0.28). Relative to CAU, PM+/CAU participants also showed significant reductions on anxiety (−0.19, 95% CI −0.344 to −0.047; p = 0.01, d = 0.31) but not on any of the other outcomes.

Conclusions
PM+ is effective in reducing psychological distress and symptoms of anxiety over a period up to 1 year. Additional support such as booster sessions or additional (trauma-focused) modules may be required to prolong and consolidate benefits gained through PM+ on other mental health and psychosocial outcomes.
Building Employee Engagement and Resilience Through Strengths-Based Leadership
Authors: Breevaart Kimberley , van Woerkom Marianne 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Modern careers are enacted in turbulent and stressful environments and workers face increasing uncertainty in navigating their careers. Therefore, it is essential to support workers in coping with stress by enhancing their resilience. We propose that strengths-based leaders help their workers to find their own unique pathway to developing resilience by building upon their pre-existing strengths. In turn, we propose that resilience allows workers to transform the support and opportunities provided by their strengths-based leader into the active state of work engagement. We conducted a two-wave time-lagged survey among a representative sample of 1,095 Dutch employees. Results of our structural equation modelling indicated that T1 strengths-based leadership was positively related to T2 employee work engagement and that T2 employee resilience mediated the relationship between strengths-based leadership (T1) and employee work engagement (T2). We conclude that strengths-based leadership might be a tool to develop a resilient and engaged workforce and make suggestions for developing strengths-based leadership.
Impact of moderate aerobic exercise on small-world topology and characteristics of brain networks after sport-related concussion: an exploratory study
Authors: Coenen Jessica , Strohm Michael , Reinsberger Claus 
Published: October 2024

AbstractSport-related concussion (SRC) is a complex brain injury. By applying graph-theoretical analysis to networks derived from neuroimaging techniques, studies have shown that despite an overall retention of small-world topology, changes in small-world properties occur after brain injury. Less is known about how exercise during athletes’ return to sport (RTS) influences these brain network properties. Therefore, in the present study dense electroencephalography (EEG) datasets were collected pre- and post-moderate aerobic exercise. Small-world properties of whole brain (WB) and the default mode network (DMN) were extracted from the EEG datasets of 21 concussed athletes and 21 healthy matched controls. More specifically, path length (LP), clustering coefficient (CP), and small-world index (SWI) in binary and weighted graphs were calculated in the alpha frequency band (7–13 Hz). Pre-exercise, SRC athletes had higher DMN-CP values compared to controls, while post-exercise SRC athletes had higher WB-LP compared to controls. Weighted WB analysis revealed a significant association between SRC and the absence of small-world topology (SWI ≤ 1) post-exercise. This explorative study provides preliminary evidence that moderate aerobic exercise during athletes’ RTS induces an altered network response. Furthermore, this altered response may be related to the clinical characteristics of the SRC athlete.
