Use of Extrinsic Motivators to Improve the BMI of Obese or Overweight Adolescents: Systematic Review
Authors: Gonçalves Ana , Simões Pedro Augusto , Sousa-Pinto Bernardo , Taveira-Gomes Tiago 
Published: October 2024

Background
The prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing at an alarming rate in children and adolescents worldwide. Given the dimensions of the problem, the treatment of childhood obesity is considered extremely important. Current evidence indicates that behavioral and cognitive behavioral strategies combined with diet and physical activity approaches may assist in reducing adolescent obesity.

Objective
The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the use of extrinsic motivators for improving the BMI of obese or overweight adolescents.

Methods
The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) overweight or obese adolescents, (2) intervention using extrinsic motivators, and (3) outcome variables related to weight status. The exclusion criterion was the presence of an associated chronic disease. The search process was conducted in PubMed and Web of Science (last searched on April 23, 2023). The risk of bias was evaluated independently by 2 authors using Cochrane tools (RoB2 [randomized controlled trials], ROBINS-I, and ROBINS-E).

Results
From 3163 studies identified, 20 articles (corresponding to 18 studies) were included in the analysis. The studies differed in terms of study design, sample size, follow-up duration, outcomes reported, and extrinsic motivators used. Most of the studies had videogames or apps as interventions. Of the 18 studies, 9 (50%) reported a statistically significant decrease in BMI. The most used extrinsic motivators were “motivation” (n=13), “feedback” (n=10), and “rewards” (n=9). Among the motivators, “reminders” (100%) and “peer-support” (80%) appeared to have high impacts on BMI reduction.

Conclusions
The heterogeneity of the included studies made analysis difficult. No study evaluated extrinsic motivators in isolation. Most of the studies had a moderate or high risk of bias. The extrinsic motivators “reminders” and “peer-support” appeared to be useful. Further studies are needed, and these should include well-designed randomized controlled trials and studies involving homogeneity in BMI measures, consistent extrinsic motivator definitions, and longer durations to better understand the long-term impacts of extrinsic motivators on weight management success.
A Study on the E-C Translation of Daily Chemical Advertisements from the Perspective of Communicative Translation Theory
Authors: Xin Tingting 
Published: October 2024

Advertising can not only build the image of a brand, but also increase the visibility of the product. Today, as the global economy becomes more and more interconnected, more and more products are pouring into the international market, in which advertising translation plays an irreplaceable role. Due to the differences between Chinese and Western cultures, this paper mainly studies from the perspective of communicative translation theory, and selects naturalization strategies as theoretical guidance, including paraphrasing, additive translation, transcreation, imitation translation and retranslation methods to conduct research on the Chinese translation of advertising slogans for daily chemical products. It is found that when translating daily chemical product advertisements, translators should not only follow the three principles of advertising slogan translation, but also flexibly adopt different translation methods for different texts, so as to continuously increase the cultural value and commercial value of daily chemical product advertising. The purpose of this paper is to provide inspiration for the translation of advertising slogans in the future, and to better promote cross-cultural business communication.
The association between depression and cannabis use with technology multitasking among Finnish university students – a pilot study
Authors: Hylkilä Krista , Männikkö Niko , Laconi Stéphanie , Kääriäinen Maria 
Published: October 2024

Multitasking with technology – the simultaneous use of two or more media devices – has increased in recent years. However, to date, little research has been done on the subject, and it is therefore important to gain more information on its effects. The aim of this preliminary study was to examine associations between technology multitasking, depression symptoms and cannabis use among Finnish university students; background factors which affect technology multitasking were also considered.
The study was a cross-sectional study. Participants were Finnish university students (n = 260) and the data were gathered through a survey. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, correlation coefficient and linear regression analysis.
The results demonstrated that specific background variables are associated with technology multitasking, whereas there was no significant association between depression symptoms and cannabis use with technology multitasking. It transpired that female gender, age and daily mobile phone use related significantly to technology multitasking.
The study identified certain background factors which affect technology multitasking; technology multitasking was more common among girls and younger participants. There were no significant associations between technology multitasking and depression symptoms or cannabis use, but the results should be interpreted with caution due to the small study population. Instead, higher daily internet use was significantly associated with increased depression symptoms. Technology multitasking is a very recent subject for research, so it is important to improve our knowledge and gain new insights. The results can be used to design various health promotion projects, and multiple actors such as municipalities or organizations can use the data to e.g., plan targeted interventions.
A Weierstrass approach to the analysis of rarefaction solitary waves in tensegrity mass-spring systems
Authors: Motta Julia de Castro , Placidi Luca , Charandabi Rana Nazifi , Fraternali Fernando 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The Weierstrass‘ theory of one-dimensional Lagrangian systems and a quasi-continuum approach are employed to study the propagation of solitary waves in tensegrity mass-spring chains, which exhibit softening-type elastic response in the large displacement regime and are subject to external pre-compression. The presented study analytically derives the shape of the traveling rarefaction pulses, and limiting values of the speeds of such pulses. Use is made of a tensegrity-like interaction potential that captures the main features of the real force-displacement response of the examined units. The Weierstrass approach is validated through numerical applications that establish comparisons between the theory developed in the present work and previous results available in literature.
Enhancing Math education for visually impaired students: alternative text implementation in LATEX, MathJax, MathML and LAMBDA
Authors: Rossi Giampaolo , Fornaro Claudio 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This article outlines an innovative procedure to improve the accessibility of Mathematics for secondary school students with visual impairments. Using LATEX, a widely used typesetting system, a transformative approach is developed that converts traditional mathematical content into three accessible formats: PDF, MathJax and LAMBDA. Central to this system is the integration of alternative text, which offers full descriptions of images and mathematical formulae and promotes a richer understanding of its content. The broader implications of this project include the introduction of novel teaching models for educators, enhanced accessibility of Mathematics programmes, and the potential to encourage the enrolment of visually impaired students in science degree courses. Ultimately, this work contributes to the creation of the conditions for the development of an inclusive and barrier-free learning environment in Mathematics education.
Financial Transparency and Marital Satisfaction
Authors: Baek H. Young , Chenail Ronald , Neymotin Florence 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT
Previous studies suggest that financial distress, financial management, and financial counselling can impact relationship satisfaction among married couples. Utilising a unique Financial Transparency Scale (FTS), we examine the relationship between couples’ financial transparency and their marital satisfaction. We demonstrate that couples who jointly engage in financial partnership activities, such as making joint financial decisions, financial planning, and budgeting, experience a higher level of relationship satisfaction. We additionally find a positive association between a married person’s relationship satisfaction and the degree to which their partner is financially transparent. Our ordinal regression results highlight the importance of financial trust and open financial discussions.
Wenn das Böse von Gott kommt…
Authors: Klein Johannes 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The article begins by noting a discrepancy between systematic-theological discourse of God, which speaks of ideal qualities, and biblical discourse of God, which does not refrain from associating God with evil, and analyzes this in more detail in a first section. The argument then turns to biblical texts and establishes that, especially where hopes rest on Yhwh as the only God, the authors of biblical texts seem to assume that God is also behind evil. Since most of the texts that see evil together with God are fictional narratives, the lessons drawn are pragmatic in the sense that they are warnings against abuse of power (Saul), aggression and attempts at destruction (Noah and Jonah) and insight into the background of evil (evil spirit, Satan, human culpability, omnipotence and uniqueness) rather than systematic considerations of the attributes of God.
Signes et emblèmes culturels et religieux dans l’espace public en France et en Allemagne : trente ans d’évolutions contrastées
Authors: Toscer-Angot Sylvie 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Seit der Jahrhundertwende betrifft die Forderung nach religiös-weltanschaulicher Neutralität des Staates immer mehr Akteure und Räume, was zu einer Verschiebung der Grenzen der Neutralität führt. Frankreich und Deutschland werden zwar häufig als zwei Länder gegenübergestellt, die jeweils durch eine “laizistische” Kultur und eine christliche Leitkultur gekennzeichnet sind. In jedem der beiden Länder ist aber eine deutliche Entwicklung der spezifischen Regulierungsweise religiöser und kultureller Pluralität zu beobachten. Der vorliegende Artikel analysiert aus einer vergleichenden Perspektive die Dynamiken, die seit etwa zwanzig Jahren zwei umgekehrte Ansätze zur Regulierung religiöser Pluralität geprägt haben. Ziel ist es, herauszufinden, welche Artikulation sich in dieser Hinsicht zwischen Kultur und Religion herausbildet.
Depuis le tournant du XXIe siècle, l’exigence de neutralité confessionnelle de l’État concerne des acteurs et des espaces de plus en plus nombreux, conduisant ainsi à déplacer les frontières de la neutralité. Si on oppose souvent la France et l’Allemagne comme deux pays marqués respectivement par une culture laïque et une culture de référence chrétienne, on constate une évolution significative des modes spécifiques de régulation de la pluralité religieuse et culturelle dans chacun des deux pays. Le présent article analyse, dans une perspective comparative, les logiques qui ont façonné depuis une vingtaine d’années deux approches inversées en matière de régulation de la pluralité religieuse et vise à déterminer quelle articulation se dessine entre culture et religion de ce point de vue.
Since the turn of the 21st century, the demand for denominational neutrality of the State concerns more and more actors and spaces, thus leading to shifting the boundaries of neutrality. Although France and Germany are often contrasted as two countries marked respectively by a secular culture and a culture of Christian reference (Leitkultur), there has been a significant evolution in the specific ways in which religious and cultural plurality is regulated in each of the two countries. This article analyzes, from a comparative perspective, the dynamics that have shaped two inverted approaches to the regulation of religious plurality over the past twenty years and aims at determining the emerging articulation between culture and religion in this respect.

Published: October 2024

Objetivo: O estudo investigou os atributos biológicos, químicos e granulométricos do solo e a incidência do Amarelecimento Fatal (AF) na palma de óleo.

Referencial Teórico: O AF ataca inicialmente o sistema radicular da planta, degradando as raízes mais finas. Fatores abióticos, como topografia e excesso de água, estão associados à sua incidência. Disfunções metabólicas e deficiências nutricionais nas plantas também podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento da doença.

Método: Foi aplicada uma abordagem geoestatística para analisar dados biológicos, químicos e granulométricos em uma plantação de dendê. A coleta ocorreu em 100 pontos e utilizou a análise BioAS da Embrapa. A localização de plantas com e sem AF foi georreferenciada, e os dados interpolados via krigagem ordinária, e comparados com o teste de Mann-Whitney.

Resultados e Discussão: As áreas afetadas pelo AF apresentaram maiores teores de argila, magnésio e potássio, além de maior atividade biológica no solo, menores altitudes e baixos níveis de fósforo. A discussão sugeriu que a biologia e os nutrientes do solo estão ligados ao AF, com análise também da topografia e umidade.

Implicações da Pesquisa: O estudo fornece evidências sobre a relação entre fatores do solo e a incidência do AF, sugerindo a necessidade de pesquisas adicionais para aprofundar o entendimento dos mecanismos da doença e desenvolver estratégias de manejo eficazes.

Originalidade/Valor: Este estudo contribuiu para o avanço da pesquisa ao integrar a bioanálise de solo com métodos geoestatísticos na investigação do AF, fornecendo novos dados sobre a relação entre os atributos do solo e a doença.
Регламентация толщин ледового пояса судов

Published: October 2024

Безопасная работа судов во льдах в значительной мере связана с толщинами обшивки ледового пояса. Но увеличение этих толщин ведет к существенному росту массы корпуса и стоимости судов. Доля обшивки в массе усиленной конструкции может доходить до 70%. Поэтому регламентация толщин обшивки с учетом специфики её усилений имеет ключевое значение. Отечественная и мировая практики ледовых подкреплений судов имеют особенности. Одной из них является то, что кроме основных шпангоутов для подкрепления обшивки могут применяться промежуточные шпангоуты другого профиля и меньших размеров. Условия работы обшивки при этом существенно меняются, что должно учитываться при регламентации толщин. Однако обзор и анализ Правил разных классификационных обществ не выявляет такого учета. В итоге широкий спектр конструктивных проектных решений может приводить к неверным выводам и опасным последствиям в эксплуатации, в частности при переклассификации судов иностранной постройки в российские условия. В работе на основе анализа моделей разного уровня показаны особенности напряженно-деформированного состояния обшивки под ледовой нагрузкой и сделаны предложения по регламентации её толщин.
The safe navigation of ships in the ice is strongly related to the thickness of the ice strake. But an increase in these thicknesses leads to a significant increase in the weight and cost of ships. The proportion of the plating in the weight of the reinforced structure can reach up to 70%. Therefore, the regulation of the thickness of the shell plating, taking into account the specifics of its reinforcements, is crucial importance. Russian and international experiences of ice reinforcement of vessels have their own peculiarities. One of them is intermediate frames of a different profile and smaller sizes in comparison with main frames can be used to strengthen the plating. At the same time, the working conditions of the plating change significantly, which should be taken into account when regulating thicknesses. However, a review and analysis of the Rules of different classification societies does not reveal such accounting. As a result, a wide range of constructive design solutions can lead to incorrect conclusions and dangerous consequences in operation, in particular when reclassifying foreign-built vessels to Russian conditions. Based on the analysis of models of different levels, the paper shows the features of the stress-strain state of the plating under forces from interaction with ice and makes suggestions for regulating its thicknesses.

Mapping Student-Generated Learning Objectives Against USMLE Core Content
Authors: Yoder Lauren Mica , Flanagan Michael , Thompson Britta , Stephens Mark 
Published: October 2024

Purpose:
To compare the content covered by student-generated, case-based, learning objectives with United States Medical Licensing Exams (USMLE) core-content guidelines, both in terms of range of topics covered and time spent with different topics. Secondarily, to examine the impact of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic on the content covered by student generated learning objectives (SGLOs).

Methods:
The data used in this study was drawn from university records of SGLOs over the course of five years, including approximately 1,600 individual SGLOs, organized by semester and year. SGLOs were coded to correspond to topics on the USMLE core content guidelines. Two lists of core content provided by the USMLE were used in this study. The first consisted of 18 broad topics and 222 nesting subtopics tested on STEP 1. The second consisted of 11 broad topics with a corresponding percent range of how many questions on STEP 1 address that topic.

Findings:
Percent Coverage: 50-60% of USMLE core content topics are covered within the first year. Multiple regression analysis showed this number remaining consistent between first year classes, between semesters, and during COVID.
Topic Weight: 7 out of 11 broad topics fell within the same ranges of the USMLE, with Social Sciences being the greatest outlier (significantly more coverage). 2 out of 11 topics were addressed less by SGLOs than by the USMLE.
Gaps: 53 individual USMLE core content sub-topics were not addressed by a UP first year class in any learning objective. Notable trends in the identified content gaps included topics relating to congenital disorders, embryonic development, male and female reproductive systems, endocrine disorders (other than thyroid disorders and diabetes), normal ageing and age-related changes, psychiatric disorders and behavioral health, and drug adverse effects.

Conclusions:
SGLOs covered consistent amounts of material from year to year, suggesting curricular stability over time. The same standard of SGLO creation was also maintained during online COVID 19 activities. The agreement in weighting of topics between our student-driven curriculum and the USMLE core content indicate that students prioritize topics effectively. Identified gaps in coverage represent areas for improvement. This study further supports successful collaborations between faculty and medical students in regards to curriculum development and execution.

Conflicts of Interest: None.
