Personality‐sensitive pedagogies: A study of small group interactive behaviours among 9‐ to 10‐year‐olds
Authors: Witt Marcus , Knight Ben , Booth Tom 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThe learning and social development benefits associated with pupils collaborating in small groups have been well documented over recent decades; however, research exploring personality as a mediating factor in small group learning is sparse. In this study we identified pupils who self‐reported low levels of extraversion and/or high levels of neuroticism (tendency to worry) as personality traits and observed them working in small group collaborative learning situations. Using mixed methods social network analysis as a way of understanding group interactions, we combined a degree centrality measure and a novel concept of ‘provocatory participation’ with a qualitative analysis of group interactions. Data integration facilitated in‐depth interpretations of relationships between personality and pupil interactions. Findings suggest that low levels of extraversion and/or high levels of neuroticism can be, but are not always, associated with lower levels of participation and that a range of other factors, notably the personality traits of all pupils in a small group, affect participation. These findings are used to suggest ways that teachers could employ more personality‐sensitive pedagogies, particularly with respect to small group activities.

Published: August 2024

AbstractBullying remains a pervasive issue in educational settings worldwide. This study examined the effect of teacher training and self‐efficacy on teachers' responses to school bullying with the moderating effect of age. Drawing on data from 585 Taiwanese primary and secondary school teachers, the study revealed six distinct response patterns to bullying among Taiwanese teachers. The results underscore the critical role of self‐efficacy in enabling proactive responses to bullying, highlighting that training programs that boost teachers' self‐efficacy can be effective across different age groups. Furthermore, the research points to the necessity of differentiated training approaches that consider teachers' age to enhance responses of mediating involvers. This study contributes to the broader discourse on bullying prevention, emphasizing the importance of teacher training and the need for further research into the nuanced relationships between teacher characteristics, self‐efficacy, and intervention strategies in diverse cultural settings.

AbstractThe lingual nerve (LN) is a branch of the mandibular division of the fifth cranial nerve, the trigeminal nerve, arising in the infratemporal fossa. It provides sensory fibers to the mucous membranes of the floor of the mouth, the lingual gingiva, and the anterior two‐thirds of the tongue. Although the LN should rarely be encountered during routine and basic oral surgical procedures in daily dental practice, its anatomical location occasionally poses the risk of iatrogenic injury. The purpose of this section is to consider this potential LN injury risk and to educate readers about the anatomy of this nerve and how to treat it.
Development and initial validation of the me and my child interview to assess parental acceptance–rejection
Authors: Carrolino Adriana , Baptista Joana 
Published: August 2024

AbstractParental acceptance–rejection exerts a key influence on child psychological adjustment. The present study aimed to contribute to this topic by focusing on the development and initial validation of a new assessment tool—that is, the Me & My Child: The Parental Acceptance‐Rejection Interview. The study included 69 mothers with children aged two to 12 years. In addition to the interview, mothers completed the Me as a Parent questionnaire, which assessed parental self‐regulation to test for convergent validity, as well as the short version of the Mental Health Inventory, which assessed maternal psychological problems to test for discriminant validity. Significant associations were found between higher levels of maternal acceptance and self‐efficacy and self‐management. Furthermore, mothers exposed to more socioeconomic risk factors in the family showed lower levels of parental acceptance. Conversely, no significant associations were observed between maternal acceptance–rejection and mental health symptoms. The intraclass correlation coefficient was found to be excellent. Overall, the findings support the Me and My Child Interview as a helpful tool for assessing parental acceptance–rejection. However, further research is required, given the exploratory nature of this study.

Published: August 2024

AbstractHarnessing basic oxygen furnace gas (BOFG) from steel mills as an alternative carbon source is a promising option to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study explores two process concepts to purify CO from BOFG for subsequent phosgene synthesis: (i) vacuum pressure swing adsorption (VPSA) yielding pure CO, and (ii) CO2 separation via monoethanolamine (MEA) absorption producing CO‐enriched gas. By combining process optimization with life cycle assessment (LCA), process parameters are identified that minimize GHG emissions. The MEA concept can reduce emissions by up to 60 %, whereas the VPSA concept achieves a reduction of 47 %. Utilizing renewable energy enables further reductions, indicating additional environmental benefits in the future. Overall, both processes effectively produce low‐carbon CO for phosgene synthesis, with increasing environmental benefits in future energy systems.

Published: August 2024

AbstractThis paper proposes a common mode voltage (CMV) reduction method for power full‐bridge LLC converter. A detailed derivation of asymmetrical CMV source in energy transmission (ET) and dead time resonance (DR) is presented, and a common mode (CM) equivalent circuit model considering stray parameters of power devices and transformer for the high‐voltage power LLC converter is constructed. This study assesses the influence of asymmetric junction capacitances of power devices and stray capacitances of transformer on both the CMV source and the CM model. It also examines the impact of power level on the constituent elements of the CMV source. Additionally, a theory of asymmetric CMV source cancellation is deduced based on the nonideal power LLC converter, where asymmetric noise source and coupling pathway are taken into account, which helps mitigate it through matching circuit structure without extra components. Finally, a 30 kHz 2 × 50 kW prototype is constructed and validated to reduce the CMV where the experiments show that the output CMV within high‐frequency band could be reduced by 12.15 dB at rated operating conditions.
Implementation of digital MemComputing using standard electronic components
Authors: Zhang Yuan‐Hang , Di Ventra Massimiliano 
Published: August 2024

SummaryDigital MemComputing machines (DMMs), which employ nonlinear dynamical systems with memory (time non‐locality), have proven to be a robust and scalable unconventional computing approach for solving a wide variety of combinatorial optimization problems. However, most of the research so far has focused on the numerical simulations of the equations of motion of DMMs. This inevitably subjects time to discretization, which brings its own (numerical) issues that would be otherwise absent in actual physical systems operating in continuous time. Although hardware realizations of DMMs have been previously suggested, their implementation would require materials and devices that are not so easy to integrate with traditional electronics. Addressing this, our study introduces a novel hardware design for DMMs, utilizing readily available electronic components. This approach not only significantly boosts computational speed compared to current models but also exhibits remarkable robustness against additive noise. Crucially, it circumvents the limitations imposed by numerical noise, ensuring enhanced stability and reliability during extended operations. This paves a new path for tackling increasingly complex problems, leveraging the inherent advantages of DMMs in a more practical and accessible framework.

AbstractThe non‐psychoactive cannabinoids cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) are available on the market in different forms, mostly for their anti‐inflammatory and potential analgesic properties. These substances are prohibited during equine competitions. CBD and CBDA are naturally present in hemp straw, commonly used as a bedding substitute for wheat straw. Unfortunately, horses can eat it, which therefore could lead to a possible risk of positive findings for CBD/CBDA in biological samples after doping control tests. The goals of this study were, first, to provide recommendations on the use of hemp straw before competition and, second, to assess if discrimination between hemp bedding exposure and CBD oil administration is possible. Several CBD equine in vivo studies have been conducted, including one on hemp straw used as bedding and one after administration of CBD oil by topical and sublingual routes. In hemp straw, CBDA was detected in higher quantities than CBD, and other cannabinoids have been observed. After hemp straw exposure, CBDA was also detected in higher quantities than CBD in all urine samples. It appeared that hemp straw should not be used as bedding for equine competition except if a delay of at least 48 h is respected. Regarding the CBD oil product analysis, CBD was the main compound detected. After administration, 7‐hydroxy CBD was identified in the urine. In conclusion, based on these data, we highlighted that it could be possible to discriminate the exposure of a horse to hemp straw from an administration of a CBD oil product thanks to the main presence of CBDA.

Published: August 2024

AbstractBackgroundRetinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukoencephalopathy and systemic manifestations (RVCL‐S) is a rare autosomal dominant systemic microvascular disorder attributed to TREX1 (three‐prime repair exonuclease‐1) gene mutations, often proned to misdiagnosed.MethodsWe reported a case of RVCL‐S coexisting with systemic lupus erythematosus due to a mutation in the TREX1 gene. This study provided a summary and discussion of previously documented cases related to TREX1 mutations or RVCL‐S.ResultsA 39‐year‐old female patient visited the clinic due to progressive memory loss and speech difficulties. Magnetic resonance imaging results showed corpus callosum atrophy and multiple subcortical calcifications in both brain hemispheres. Genetic testing revealed a TREX1 gene mutation (c.294dupA). Treatment with immunosuppressive therapy for 2 months led to improvements in communication and mobility. We also summarized previously reported cases providing an overview of TREX1 gene mutation or RCVL‐S.ConclusionOur case establishes a compelling foundation for future RVCL‐S diagnosis and treatment paradigms. Notably, conducting systemic immunity screening in patients with RVCL‐S emerges as a strategic approach to prevent potential diagnostic oversights.
Water withdrawal and sustainability concerns in sugarcane cultivation in Western India: An application of the SURE model

Published: August 2024

AbstractThis study attempts to quantify farmers' response to output and input prices for irrigation water use to examine the issue of sustainability in sugarcane cultivation in Maharashtra, India. We used a seemingly unrelated regression estimator (SURE) to estimate a translog profit function model. Secondary data on production costs covering the period of 1971–2021 were used. The results show that the sugarcane price affects not only production but also irrigation demand. The elasticity of irrigation demand with respect to the output price is highly responsive (i.e. 1.94), which could be the main reason for groundwater extraction. The continuous increase in the guaranteed price of sugarcane and the relatively lower cost of irrigation motivate farmers to continue sugarcane cultivation. The findings of this study justify significant policy interventions for the sustainable production of sugarcane in Maharashtra.
A mediational theory of equivalence relations and transformation of function
Authors: Schlinger Henry D. , Blakely Elbert 
Published: August 2024

AbstractIn this article, we describe a mediational theory of emergent or derived relations resulting from matching‐to‐sample procedures that produce equivalence and transformation of function. According to a mediational theory, behaviors that occur at the time of reinforcement mediate subsequent behavioral relations referred to as “derived” or “emergent.” Such relations have been documented for decades in studies using mostly matching‐to‐sample procedures with humans and nonhumans. In both verbal human and nonhuman participants, the mediating behaviors consist of differential responding to the sample stimulus. In humans, such behaviors are mostly, but not necessarily, verbal; in nonhumans they include a variety of sample‐specific responses, sometimes called “coding.” The proposed mediational theory, based only on the four‐term contingency and the basic principles of operant learning, makes specific predictions and explains results from a broad range of experiments. There are at least three important implications of a mediational theory. First, if by “derived” or “emergent” one means untrained or unreinforced, then derived relations may not exist. Second, if there are no derived relations, then theories of such relations may not be necessary. Third, a mediational theory of relational responding has potentially important implications for clinical practice.

Published: August 2024

AbstractBackgroundLovastatin, a type of statin usually considered as a lipid‐lowering drug that lowers blood cholesterol and low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, has been rediscovered to have anticancer activity. Fewer studies exist regarding the effect of lovastatin on esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).MethodsHere, we report that lovastatin shows anticancer effect on ESCC By affecting the mitochondrial autophagy pathway. Moreover, based on proteomics and computer molecular simulations found that RAB38 and RAB27A may be a target of lovastatin.ResultsWe observed that autophagy of mitochondria is inhibited by lovastatin, affecting esophageal squamous cell proliferation. There is a possible link between the expression of RAB38, RAB27A and immune cell invasion in esophageal cancer.ConclusionsThese results demonstrate the huge potential of lovastatin as an RAB38, RAB27A inhibitor in esophageal cancer chemotherapy and chemoprevention.

AbstractContinuous pulse oximetry (cSpO2) monitoring use outside established guidelines is common in children hospitalized with bronchiolitis. We analyzed clinicians' real‐time rationale for continuous monitoring in stable children with bronchiolitis not requiring supplemental oxygen. Data for this study were collected as part a multicenter deimplementation trial for cSpO2 in children hospitalized with bronchiolitis. We analyzed 371 clinician responses across 36 hospitals; 258 (70%) responses did not include a clinical reason for monitoring (“nonclinical”; e.g., respondent forgot to discontinue monitoring, did not know why the patient was monitored, or was following an order). The remaining 113 (30%) responses contained a clinical reason for monitoring (“clinical”; e.g., recently requiring oxygen, physical exam concerns, or concerns relating to patient condition or history). Strategies to reduce unnecessary monitoring should include changes in workflow to facilitate shared understanding of monitoring goals and timely discontinuation of monitoring.

Published: August 2024

AbstractIntroductionTransgender women are at increased risk of acquiring HIV. Earlier studies reported lower retention in HIV care, antiretroviral therapy uptake, adherence and viral suppression. We assessed the stages of the HIV care continuum of transgender women in the Netherlands over an 11‐year period. In addition, we assessed new HIV diagnoses and late presentation, as well as disengagement from care, between 2011 and 2021.MethodsUsing data from the Dutch national ATHENA cohort, we separately assessed viral suppression, as well as time to achieving viral suppression, among transgender women for each year between 2011 and 2021. We also assessed trends in new HIV diagnoses and late presentation (CD4 count of <350 cells/µl and/or AIDS at diagnosis), and disengagement from care.ResultsBetween 2011 and 2021, a total of 260 transgender women attended at least one HIV clinical visit. Across all years, <90% of transgender women were virally suppressed (207/239 [87%] in 2021). The number of new HIV diagnoses fluctuated for transgender women (ptrend = 0.053) and late presentation was common (ranging between 10% and 67% of new HIV diagnoses). Of the 260 transgender women, 26 (10%) disengaged from care between 2011 and 2021 (incidence rate = 1.10 per 100 person‐years, 95% confidence interval = 0.75−1.61).ConclusionsBetween 2011 and 2021, less than 90% of transgender women linked to HIV care were virally suppressed. Late presentation at the time of diagnosis and disengagement from care were common. Efforts are needed to identify barriers to early HIV diagnosis and to optimize the different steps across the care continuum for transgender women.

AbstractIntroductionHIV self‐testing (HIVST) has been shown to increase the uptake of HIV testing and help achieve the UNAIDS 95‐95‐95 targets. This study assessed the acceptability, usability (ease of use and result interpretation) and the willingness to pay for HIVST kits distributed through three distribution models, namely the community‐based, PLHIV network‐led and private practitioners models, in India.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study was implemented across 14 states in India between September 2021 and June 2022. All participants could choose between blood‐based or oral‐fluid‐based test kits. Participants were shown a test‐kit usage demonstration video, and pre‐ and post‐test counselling was provided for all. Participants were followed‐up after testing, and if reported reactive, were further supported for linkage to confirmatory testing and antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation.ResultsAmong the 90,605 participants found eligible, 88,080 (97%) accepted an HIVST kit. Among the 87,976 who reported using an HIVST kit, 45,207 (51%) preferred a blood‐based kit, and 42,120 (48%) reported testing for the first time. For future testing, 77,064 (88%) reported preferring HIVST over other HIV testing methods. Among those who used the kit, 83,308 (95%) found the kit easy to use, and 83,237 (95%) reported that the test results were easy to interpret. Among those who preferred HIVST for future use, 52,136 (69%) were willing to pay for the kit, with 35,854 (69%) of those willing to pay less than US$ 1.20. Only one instance of social harm was reported, with a participant reporting suicidal tendencies due to discord with their partner.Out of 328 participants (0.4%) who tested reactive with HIVST, 291 (89%) were linked to confirmatory testing; of these, 254 were confirmed HIV positive, and 216 (85%) successfully initiated ART.ConclusionsOverall, we report that nearly all participants were willing to accept HIVST, found the test kits easy to use and interpret, and about two‐thirds were willing to pay for HIVST. Given the high levels of acceptance and the ability to reach a large proportion of first‐time testers, HIVST in India could contribute to achieving the UNAIDS first 95 and ending the HIV epidemic.
