The Role of Resilience in Fostering Late Adolescents’ Meaning-Making Process: A Latent Profile Analysis
Authors: Zambelli Michela , Ellena Adriano Mauro , Tagliabue Semira , Pozzi Maura , Marta Elena 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThe study presents an application of Latent Profile Analysis to sustain the existence of different profiles of meaning-making (i.e., the process of searching and finding meaning in life) within the late adolescent’s population, and to investigate the role of resilience in predicting profiles’ belonginess. 943 Italian senior high-school students (52% females) were clustered into two adaptive profiles, highly-engaged (high presence, average search) and balanced (average presence and search), and two maladaptive profiles, frustrated (average presence, high search) and disengaged (low presence and search). A multinomial logistic regression revealed that adolescents with robust resilience skills were more likely to show adaptive profiles, and less likely to fall into the disengaged group, suggesting that individuals with higher resilience are more prone to engage in search for meaning even when they perceive a lack of presence of meaning. Findings contribute to a nuanced understanding of meaning-making, calling the development of personalized interventions to foster adolescents’ ability to navigate life challenges during their transition toward adulthood.

AbstractCOSINUS is a new cryogenic observatory for rare event searches located in the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy. COSINUS’s first goal is to clarify whether the signal detected by the DAMA/LIBRA experiment originates from dark matter particle interactions or has a different nature. To this aim, sodium iodide (NaI) cryogenic scintillating calorimeters read out by transition edge sensors (TESs) are developed. To preserve the NaI crystal from the TES fabrication process, COSINUS implemented a novel design, the remoTES, where the TES is deposited on a separate wafer and coupled to the absorber through a Au-bonding wire and a Au-phonon collector. This design has reached baseline resolutions below 100 eV for Si, 200 eV for $$\hbox {TeO}_2$$

and 400 eV for NaI absorbers. These results show that the remoTES not only brings COSINUS close to its performance goal of 1 keV energy threshold, but also offers the possibility to employ delicate crystals previously excluded for cryogenic applications as absorbers and to avoid the exposure of the absorbers to the TES fabrication process. It therefore extends the choice of target materials of the rare event searches using TES. In this work, we will provide a detailed description of the remoTES design and present the results of the latest prototypes.
Investigating the impact of Accessible Pedagogies on the experiences and engagement of students with language and/or attentional difficulties

Published: August 2024

AbstractStudents with disability tend to report lower levels of school engagement. To date, research has focused on building students’ extrinsic motivation and self-regulation with limited consideration of the impact of instructional barriers. In this mixed-methods study, we investigated the effect of teachers’ participation in the Accessible Pedagogies™ Program of Learning on the classroom experiences and engagement of 56 Year 10 students with disabilities impacting language and information processing. When asked in interviews what their teacher did to help them pay attention and to understand, students described teachers’ increased use of practices that were the focus of the program. Self-report questionnaire data revealed a positive, statistically significant increase in cognitive engagement for students whose teachers participated in Accessible Pedagogies™. No increase was observed for a Comparison Group. Findings suggest that the reduction of extraneous language and cognitive load through teachers’ use of Accessible Pedagogies™ may have helped students deploy available mental effort to engage in learning, rather than expend that effort to overcome unnecessary instructional barriers. Future research will investigate the impact of Accessible Pedagogies™ with larger samples and a wider range of students.
Preservice Biology Teachers’ Beliefs About Evidence-Based Medicine and Alternative Medicine
Authors: Schmidt Elvira , Zeyer Albert , Kremer Kerstin 
Published: August 2024

AbstractHealth-related discussions in society and the media—specifically during the COVID-19 pandemic—showed that individuals are confronted with Alternative Medicine and Evidence-Based Medicine. When making reflective decisions about these treatments, both knowledge and beliefs are important. Previous research with preservice biology teachers has shown that they commonly use Alternative Medicine, although they have little knowledge about it. To date, systematic studies on preservice biology teachers’ beliefs about Alternative Medicine and Evidence-Based Medicine are lacking. Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior, the present study elicited German (N = 40) preservice biology teachers’ beliefs about these treatments via an open-ended questionnaire. Behavioral, normative, and control beliefs were categorized using qualitative content analysis. The results showed that the participants mentioned the efficacy, scientificity, and safety of treatments as important beliefs. For Alternative Medicine, beliefs were related to scientific evidence for its efficacy, naturalness and mild effects. These beliefs indicate that some preservice biology teachers do not have a clear understanding of Evidence-Based Medicine and Alternative Medicine, which can influence their decision-making. The results highlight the need to incorporate Alternative Medicine and Evidence-Based Medicine into health-related decision-making within biology education and biology teacher education and provide a basis for further research.

Published: August 2024

AbstractOral frailty can contribute to physical and mental health disorders. Previous research has shown an association between frailty and self-reported difficulty in chewing or swallowing. However, their combined assessment has obscured their specific impact on frailty-related outcomes. To investigate the independent associations between difficulty in chewing or swallowing and 1-year frailty outcomes, while also examining their interactions. This retrospective cohort study utilized the DeSC database to identify older adults aged ≥ 75 years who underwent health checkups between April 2014 and November 2022. Multivariate Cox regression analyses were conducted to assess the association between self-reported difficulty in chewing or swallowing and outcomes, including hospitalization due to aspiration pneumonia, all-cause hospitalization, and all-cause mortality within 1 year. Interactions between chewing and swallowing difficulties were also evaluated. Among 359,111 older adults, 39.0% reported oral function difficulties. Swallowing difficulty alone lacked significant outcome association. However, chewing difficulty alone was significantly associated with higher risks of hospitalization due to aspiration pneumonia (hazard ratio (HR), 1.35; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.15–1.58; P < 0.001), all-cause hospitalization (HR, 1.08; 95% CI, 1.05–1.11; P < 0.001), and all-cause mortality (HR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.14–1.44; P < 0.001) compared with no self-reported difficulty. A significant positive interaction between self-reported difficulty in chewing and swallowing was observed for all-cause mortality (P = 0.009). Self-reported difficulty in chewing was significantly associated with higher risks of hospitalization due to aspiration pneumonia, all-cause hospitalization, and all-cause mortality among older adults. Chewing and swallowing difficulties showed a synergistic effect, significantly increasing all-cause mortality risk.
The relations between soil hydrophobicity and vegetation in abandoned arable fields on sandy soil

Published: August 2024

AbstractThe study aimed to find the significant relations between the dominant plant species of secondary succession of lasting abandonment of agricultural fields on sandy soil in central Poland, and soil water repellency strength. The critical soil moisture content for hydrophobicity for individual sites ranged from 10.7 to 16.7%, and the differences were not statistically significant. After periods of prolonged drought, all abandonment agriculture fields indicated lower soil moisture content than critical threshold (10.7–16.7%) for soil water repellency. The soil water repellency was assessed as extreme class based on Water Drop Penetration Time (WDPT) test. The relationship between the main dominant species cover and WDPT test was diverse, with Agrostis gigantea agg. and Avena sativa as a species reaching highest cover within low values of WDPT. Inexpertly Betula pendula agg. (unexpectely) and Pinus sylvestris dominated sites with the highest values of WDPT test. The conducted research indicates that due to climate change, leaving sandy soils in warm temperate climate without an alternative management plan may pose a significant environmental risk.

Abstract
Previous studies have reported that the lateral meniscus (LM) has two regions, the popliteal hiatus area (PH) with a scarce blood supply and the roots with an abundant one. However, the description of its vascular anatomy remains insufficient. We hypothesized that the difference in the width of the meniscus hilum (MH) affects the scarcity and abundance of blood supply to the LM. The MH is a concept proposed by us and is the only site of entrance or exit of blood vessels and nerves associated with the meniscus. The purpose of this study was to provide a structural explanation for the disparity of blood supply to the LM using the concept of MH. Sixteen knees were examined to investigate the blood supply to LM. In most areas, the femoral joint capsule (FJC) and tibial joint capsule (TJC) continued to the cranial and caudal edges of the LM, respectively. In the roots, the FJC and TJC covered the femoral and the outer-femoral surfaces. In contrast, the FJC in the PH did not attach to the cranial edge and only the TJC there did to the caudal edge of the LM. Histochemical examination showed that the blood vessels enter the LM via the MH. In the PH, the MH at the caudal edge was extremely narrow; and in the roots, the MH on the outer-femoral surfaces was wide. The results suggest that the difference in the width of the MH affected the scarcity and abundance of blood supply to the LM.
Comparison of self-reported and device-based measured physical activity—a replication study
Authors: Fiedler Janis , Woll Alexander , Wunsch Kathrin 
Published: August 2024

AbstractComparing adherence to physical activity (PA) guidelines can be challenging due to the varying types of measurement and analysis methods used to quantify PA. Therefore, previous results of test–retest reliability, validity, and stability for self-reported (i.e., questionnaire and diary) and device-based measured (i.e., accelerometry with 10/60 s epochs) PA were replicated in 43 adults and 50 children from the SMARTFAMILY2.0 trial. Data were collected throughout two independent measurement weeks and descriptive values were reported and visualized. The relationships among and between all variables included during both measurement weeks for each quality criterion were analyzed using Spearman correlations, stratified by children and adults. This was done to illustrate the quality criteria, namely test–retest reliability, validity, and stability. Descriptive results showed the highest moderate and vigorous PA values for questionnaires and accelerometry showed the second highest results in moderate PA, while in vigorous PA the estimations by the diary were higher than those of accelerometry. As before, only accelerometry demonstrated preliminary evidence for reliable, valid, and stable results for both epoch lengths. Contrary to our previous findings, the diary showed higher correlation coefficients for the quality criteria than the questionnaire. Additionally, correlation coefficients were higher in moderate than in vigorous PA, and the patterns of significance differed partially between children and adults. The present results reinforce the findings and conclusions presented in the previous study and add information about PA questionnaire results in children. Comparing both studies, discrepancies exist in estimating vigorous PA in healthy adults by the Global and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire.

Abstract
Investigations into rail corrugation within metro systems have traditionally focused on specific mechanisms, thereby limiting the generalizability of proposed theories. Understanding the commonalities in rail corrugation across diverse metro lines remains pivotal for elucidating its underlying mechanisms. The present study conducted extensive field surveys and tracking tests across 14 Chinese metro lines. By employing t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) for dimensional reduction and employing the unsupervised clustering algorithm DBSCAN, the research redefines the classification of metro rail corrugation based on characteristic information. The analysis encompassed spatial distribution and temporal evolution of this phenomenon. Findings revealed that floating slab tracks exhibited the highest proportion of rail corrugation at 47%. Notably, ordinary monolithic bed tracks employing damping fasteners were more prone to inducing rail corrugation. Corrugation primarily manifested in curve sections with radii between 300 and 500 m, featuring ordinary monolithic bed track and steel-spring floating slab track structures, with wavelengths typically between 30 and 120 mm. Stick–slip vibrations of the wheel–rail system maybe led to short-wavelength corrugations (40–60 mm), while longer wavelengths (200–300 mm) exhibited distinct fatigue damage characteristics, mainly observed in steel-spring floating slab tracks and small-radius curve sections of ordinary monolithic bed tracks and ladder sleeper tracks. A classification system comprising 57 correlated features categorized metro rail corrugation into four distinct types. These research outcomes serve as critical benchmarks for validating various theories pertaining to rail corrugation formation.
Barite septarian concretions in the Albian (Cretaceous) of the Subbetic (Southern Spain)
Authors: Molina J. M. , Reolid M. 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThis works analyses the Albian barite septarian concretions of the Fardes Formation located in the Geopark of Granada within the Subbetic (Betic Cordillera, SE Spain) from a stratigraphic, textural, mineralogical and geochemical point of view. The early diagenetic conditions that favoured the development of the concretions and their septaria are interpreted, taking into account the importance of the organic-rich clay facies (black shales) in which they are found as well as the interruptions in the sedimentation rate. The barite concretions formed in different stages: (1) Sedimentation of black shales containing Ba of organic origin and deposited in low oxygen environments; (2) diffusion of seawater interstitial solutions containing Ba2+ mainly from organic matter and sulfate originating from the decomposition of organic matter by bacterial reduction; (3) crystallization of barite on nucleation sites and rapid growth of concretion at the water–sediment interface when the depth of the barite front stabilized at a few meters depth due to a very low or no sedimentation rate; (4) rapid growth of the concretions and sediment load favoured the formation of septarian cracks that were filled first with Sr-rich barite crystals and finally by calcite. The association of barite concretions and stratigraphic discontinuities can be very useful for the recognition of depositional hiatuses in thick monotonous clayey or marly sequences.
Variability of Winter Frosts in Central South America: Quantifying Mechanisms with Decision Trees
Authors: Collazo Soledad , García-Herrera Ricardo 
Published: August 2024

AbstractAgricultural production in Central South America (CSA) is substantially influenced by frost events. This study characterises and quantifies the physical processes leading to frost conditions in CSA from 1979 to 2022, focusing on three innovative aspects: regional frost properties, a novel multi-parametric upper-level jet description, and the quantification of underlying mechanisms through decision trees (DTs). The regionalisation analysis identifies five homogeneous frost regions in CSA. In all regions, the events tend to occur more frequently during the La Niña phase. Moreover, a significant increase in the frequency of widespread frost events has been observed in the Argentinean Pampas during the study period, primarily due to negative trends in minimum temperatures. Furthermore, the synoptic mechanisms triggering frosts, such as cold fronts and post-frontal anticyclones enhanced by subsidence near the subtropical jet (STJ) entrance, have not shown major long-term changes. To describe the jets, we compute six parameters for the STJ and seven for the polar front jet, including latitude, intensity, height, tilting, longitudinal extent, and branch number. DTs are used to identify key jet parameters linked to frost events, such as the latitude, longitudinal extent, and tilt of the Atlantic STJ. Frost likelihood increases when the STJ is north of 31°S, and the extension of the Atlantic STJ is longer than 35° and has a negative tilt. Finally, DTs focused on the onset and end of events highlight geopotential height anomalies and STJ extension as critical variables. These DTs provide concise and accessible information for agricultural decision-makers in CSA.

Published: August 2024

AbstractThe substantial increase in traffic data offers new opportunities to inspect traffic congestion dynamics from different perspectives. This paper presents a novel framework for the interpretable representation and customizable retrieval of traffic congestion patterns using causal relation graphs, which harnesses many of these opportunities. By integrating domain knowledge with innovative data management techniques, we address the challenges of effectively handling and retrieving the growing volume of traffic data for diverse analytical purposes. The framework leverages causal graphs to encode traffic congestion patterns, capturing fundamental phenomena and their spatiotemporal relationships, thus facilitating an interpretable high-level view of traffic dynamics. Moreover, a customizable similarity measurement function is introduced based on inexact graph matching, allowing users to tailor the retrieval process to specific requirements. This framework’s capability to retrieve customizable and interpretable congestion patterns is demonstrated through extensive experiments with real-world highway traffic data in the Netherlands, highlighting its value in supporting diverse data-driven studies and applications.
IT Service Well-being, in the Higher Education Ecosystem
Authors: Heidari Maryam , Torrisi-Steele Geraldine , Binnewies Sebastian 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThe holistic and systematic comprehension of service well-being is garnering increasing attention among scholars. The holistic understanding of Service well-being is significant since it helps to clarify the multi-actor and multi-level nature of complex services, such as IT services. The majority of research conducted in the IT service field primarily examines individual and micro-level interactions, neglecting the significance of a comprehensive and systemic perspective on service well-being. The study discussed in this article aims to overcome these constraints by examining the well-being of IT services from a “service ecosystem” standpoint. The research used an interpretative approach to construct a middle-range theory using a case study and grounded theory methodology within a higher education institution. The results uncover the factors that contribute to well-being and the effects on several levels of the IT service ecosystem (Micro, Meso and Macro) including Service encounter, Service facilitation, and Service integration levels. This study enhances the existing research on well-being in the IT service context by presenting a holistic framework for service ecosystem well-being which has significant theoretical and practical contributions.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Background
Obesity and sarcopenia are both viewed as pathological body composition issues and indicators of compromised nutritional status. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of sarcopenic obesity on short- and long-term clinical outcomes.

Methods
The clinical data of patients who underwent radical gastrectomy between 2013 and 2019 were prospectively collected. Sarcopenia is defined by European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2) and obesity is defined by the body mass index (BMI). To identify the independent predictors of postoperative complications and overall survival, we performed univariate and multivariate logistic and Cox regression analyses.

Results
In a total of 508 cases, 372 (73.2%) cases were diagnosed with non-sarcopenia, 112 (22.0%) with non-obese sarcopenia, and 24 (4.7%) with sarcopenic obesity. In the multivariate logistic regression, both of non-obese sarcopenia (OR = 2.305, 95% CI = 1.444–3.679, P < 0.001) and sarcopenic obesity (OR = 2.589, 95% CI = 1.088–6.156, P = 0.031) were independent risk factors for postoperative complications. In the multivariate Cox analysis, only non-obese sarcopenia (HR = 2.614, 95% CI = 1.882–3.631, P < 0.001) was independent risk factor for overall survival.

Conclusions
Sarcopenic obesity serves as an independent risk factor for postoperative complications, but not for overall survival.
