Authors: Kilinc‐Ata Nurcan , Rahman Maya Puspa 
Published: June 2024

AbstractDigitalization has become a critical instrument in the struggle against pollution and has the potential to help society move toward a low‐carbon economy. However, how digitization affects the environment depends on how different economic actors collaborate and, consequently, interact with digitalization. In this regard, the current study investigates the role of digitalization in Malaysia's transition to green energy, a crucial strategy for curbing CO2 emissions and combating climate change by using the Bayesian auto‐regressive distributed lags (BARDL) approach for a period from 2000 to 2021. The research empirically demonstrates the positive impact of the digitalization sector on the transition to green energy, notably, variables related to this transition were statistically significant. The main contribution of the study to the literature is to reveal the role of digitalization in the transition to green energy. The findings also offer practical policy recommendations, supporting the development of renewable energy sources and aiding in achieving zero‐carbon targets. The empirical findings provide valuable insights for decision makers, emphasizing the importance of aligning the European Union regulations for Malaysia's successful transition to digital green energy.

AbstractAimsThe aim of the study is to report the clinical and pharmacological observations from a pregnant patient treated with erlotinib in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.MethodsMaternal and neonatal blood levels and safety of erlotinib and its metabolites were evaluated. Child development was monitored for 6 years.ResultsA 31‐year‐old woman with stage IV lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR exon19 deletion began treatment with erlotinib 150 mg/day at 17 weeks of gestation. Although foetal growth retardation and oligohydramnios were observed at several times during the pregnancy, treatment was continued due to the severity of the maternal presentation, with ongoing foetal monitoring. The foetus seemed to tolerate and recover well without specific interventions. A healthy baby boy was delivered at 37 weeks gestation. The child grew and developed without any obvious issues. At last follow‐up, at age 6 years, he was attending school at a grade appropriate for his age without health or developmental problems. Blood levels of erlotinib were 397–856 ng/mL at 18–37 weeks of gestation and 1190 ng/mL at 8 weeks postpartum. The blood concentration ratios of OSI‐413‐to‐erlotinib ranged from 0.167 to 0.253 at 18–37 weeks of gestation, excluding 24 weeks, and 0.131 at 8 weeks postpartum. The maternal‐to‐foetal transfer rate of erlotinib, OSI‐420 and OSI‐413 were 24.5, 34.8 and 20.3%, respectively.ConclusionErlotinib use during the second and third trimester of pregnancy did not seem to cause any untoward effects on the developing foetus, or any long‐lasting effects that could be detected during 6 years of follow‐up of the child.

Authors: Hoferichter Frances , Raufelder Diana 
Published: June 2024

AbstractBackground and AimsEducational neuroscience has emerged as an interdisciplinary field aimed at elucidating the neurobiological underpinnings of learning and educational outcomes. By synthesizing findings from diverse research endeavours, this Editorial aims to delineate the intricate interplay between neural processes and educational experiences, shedding light on the factors that shape cognitive development and learning trajectories in children.ResultsThis Editorial highlights significant advancements, spanning investigations into neural mechanisms, cognitive development and educational interventions on the basis of four exemplary topics and their effects on academic learning and achievement: student's academic self‐concept, (cyber‐)bullying, reading skills/dyslexia and a growth mindset intervention. Summaries of the four empirical contributions in this special issue are presented and discussed in relation to how they provide insight into the dynamic interplay between neural mechanisms and environmental influences, underscoring the role of early experiences in sculpting brain development and shaping educational outcomes. Furthermore, the integration of neuroscientific techniques (e.g., fMRI, eye‐tracking) with educational research methodologies has provided novel insights into the neural correlates of learning processes, executive functions and socio‐emotional development during childhood.ConclusionsIn conclusion, the pivotal role of Educational Neuroscience in bridging the gap between neuroscience and education is highlighted. By elucidating the neurobiological foundations of learning, this interdisciplinary field offers valuable insights for informing evidence‐based educational practices and interventions tailored to individual learning profiles. Moving forward, continued collaboration between researchers, educators and policymakers is essential to harnessing the full potential of Educational Neuroscience in promoting cognitive growth and academic success across diverse learner populations.
The intraindividual dynamics of university students' motivation and emotions: The role of autonomy‐supportive learning climates and learning activities
Authors: Lo Meng‐Ting 
Published: June 2024

AbstractBackgroundThe motivation and emotions of students are context dependent. There are specific moments when students may find their coursework more or less motivating, resulting in stronger or milder emotional responses. Identifying factors directly controllable by teachers empowers them to effectively address challenging situations characterized by lower motivation and increased negative emotions.AimsWe aimed to investigate how learning activities and students' perception of teaching practices fostering autonomy relate to competence and value beliefs, and emotions in the context of course participation within higher education.SampleSeventy‐seven Taiwanese university students provided 762 learning reports associated with their course participation experiences.MethodsThe experience sampling method (ESM) was used. Participants responded to ESM surveys on their phones for 14 days, reporting motivational beliefs, emotions and contextual characteristics of the course if they indicated active participation in a course upon receiving notifications from their phones.ResultsA significant portion of the variation is attributed to situational fluctuation, suggesting that academic emotions and competence and value beliefs vary within students across measurements. An increase in students' perception of an autonomy‐supportive learning climate correlates with higher competence beliefs, intrinsic value and positive emotions, coupled with reduced perceived costs and negative emotions. In contrast to lectures, engaging in independent hands‐on work, participating in group collaborative projects or interactive discussions appear to inspire motivation or evoke stronger emotional responses in students.ConclusionsTeachers' teaching practices and classroom learning activities play a pivotal role in shaping students' situational motivation and emotions.

AbstractAimThe aim of this work was to investigate the association between early postoperative anastomotic leakage or pelvic abscess (AL/PA) and symptomatic anastomotic stenosis (SAS) in patients after surgery for left colonic diverticulitis.MethodThis is a retrospective study based on a national cohort of diverticulitis surgery patients carried out by the Association Française de Chirurgie. The assessment was performed using path analyses. The database included 7053 patients operated on for colonic diverticulitis, with surgery performed electively or in an emergency, by open access or laparoscopically. Patients were excluded from the study analysis where there was (i) right‐sided diverticulitis (the initial database included all consecutive patients operated on for colonic diverticulitis), (ii) no anastomosis was performed during the first procedure or (iii) missing information about stenosis, postoperative abscess or anastomotic leakage.ResultsOf the 4441 patients who were included in the final analysis, AL/PA occurred in 327 (4.6%) and SAS occurred in 82 (1.8%). AL/PA was a significant independent factor associated with a risk for occurrence of SAS (OR = 3.41, 95% CI = 1.75–6.66), as was the case for diverting stoma for ≥100 days (OR = 2.77, 95% CI = 1.32–5.82), while central vessel ligation proximal to the inferior mesenteric artery was associated with a reduced risk (OR = 0.41; 95% CI = 0.19–0.88). Diverting stoma created for <100 days or ≥100 days was also a factor associated with a risk for AL/PA (OR = 3.08, 95% CI = 2–4.75 and OR = 12.95, 95% CI = 9.11–18.50). Interestingly, no significant association between radiological drainage or surgical management of AL/PA and SAS could be highlighted.ConclusionAL/PA was an independent factor associated with the risk for SAS. The treatment of AL/PA was not associated with the occurrence of anastomotic stenosis. Diverting stoma was associated with an increased risk of both AL/PA and SAS, especially if it was left for ≥100 days. Physicians must be aware of this information in order to decide on the best course of action when creating a stoma during elective or emergency surgery.
A systematic literature review on the ICT integration in teaching and learning: Lessons for an effective integration in Tanzania
Authors: Msambwa Msafiri Mgambi , Daniel Kangwa 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThis study is a systematic literature review on the use of Information and communication technology (ICT) in secondary schools and how it can improve student learning outcomes, motivation, engagement, skills development, and teachers' attitudes, practices, and beliefs about teaching and learning. After the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the sample included 40 eligible studies from Scopus and Eric databases. The research questions were thematically answered, and the findings were summarised into an ICT integration framework. The analysis indicates that effective ICT integration depends on students' and teachers' motivation and attitude change. Further, it proposes that ICT integration in secondary schools should not only be aligned with the curriculum and learning objectives but should also be sustained through the maintenance of ICT tools and appropriate ICT skills development for both learners and teachers. Therefore, effective ICT integration depends largely on capacity development, which should be focused on harnessing technological knowledge with pedagogical understanding in a conducive learning environment supported by all stakeholders. It is recommended that learning institutions aim at capacity building to enable students, teachers, and other experts to identify and address challenges efficiently.
Arabic text classification based on analogical proportions
Authors: Bounhas Myriam , Elayeb Bilel , Chouigui Amina , Hussain Amir , Cambria Erik 
Published: June 2024

AbstractText classification is the process of labelling a given set of text documents with predefined classes or categories. Existing Arabic text classifiers are either applying classic Machine Learning algorithms such as k‐NN and SVM or using modern deep learning techniques. The former are assessed using small text collections and their accuracy is still subject to improvement while the latter are efficient in classifying big data collections and show limited effectiveness in classifying small corpora with a large number of categories. This paper proposes a new approach to Arabic text classification to treat small and large data collections while improving the classification rates of existing classifiers. We first demonstrate the ability of analogical proportions (AP) (statements of the form ‘x is to as is to ’), which have recently been shown to be effective in classifying ‘structured’ data, to classify ‘unstructured’ text documents requiring preprocessing. We design an analogical model to express the relationship between text documents and their real categories. Next, based on this principle, we develop two new analogical Arabic text classifiers. These rely on the idea that the category of a new document can be predicted from the categories of three others, in the training set, in case the four documents build together a ‘valid’ analogical proportion on all or on a large number of components extracted from each of them. The two proposed classifiers (denoted AATC1 and AATC2) differ mainly in terms of the keywords extracted for classification. To evaluate the proposed classifiers, we perform an extensive experimental study using five benchmark Arabic text collections with small or large sizes, namely ANT (Arabic News Texts) v2.1 and v1.1, BBC‐Arabic, CNN‐Arabic and AlKhaleej‐2004. We also compare analogical classifiers with both classical ML‐based and Deep Learning‐based classifiers. Results show that AATC2 has the best average accuracy (78.78%) over all other classifiers and the best average precision (0.77) ranked first followed by AATC1 (0.73), NB (0.73) and SVM (0.72) for the ANT corpus v2.1. Besides, AATC1 shows the best average precisions (0.88) and (0.92), respectively for the BBC‐Arabic corpus and AlKhaleej‐2004, and the best average accuracy (85.64%) for CNN‐Arabic over all other classifiers. Results demonstrate the utility of analogical proportions for text classification. In particular, the proposed analogical classifiers are shown to significantly outperform a number of existing Arabic classifiers, and in many cases, compare favourably to the robust SVM classifier.
Student academic representation in the UK: An exploration of recruitment, training, and impacts
Authors: Winter Jennie , Turner Rebecca , Webb Oliver , Valle Luciana Dalla , Benwell Claire 
Published: June 2024

AbstractStudent academic representation is a staple feature in UK and international higher education. It provides a vital quality function whereby students, who are elected representatives of their programme, canvas the opinions of peers to inform quality assurance processes. In the UK, there is increasing regulatory pressure for universities and student unions to be dual owners of representation activity and much work has been done to enact this model. Nonetheless, little is known about the experiences of those serving as student representatives, despite this being a community of thousands of students across the UK, who hold an instrumental position in institutional quality assurance. We developed an instrument (SARA) to evaluate experiences of 773 active student representatives from 15 UK HE institutions. It explored key areas, including recruitment, training, working approaches and development outcomes. Data indicated low engagement in training in some key areas (e.g., representation of diverse groups and data gathering) and a narrow range of working approaches. These patterns may compromise the value of student representation both from the institutional perspective and that of individual representatives seeking to enhance their skills. Recommendations are suggested for enhancing future practice.
Lattice dynamics, Raman and IR vibrations of stable Al/Si‐containing MAB phases: An ab initio and experimental study
Authors: Lu Zhiyao , Qi Xinxin , He Xiaodong , Zhang Jinze , Fan Yun , Yin Hang , Song Guangping , Zheng Yongting , Bai Yuelei 
Published: June 2024

AbstractTo comprehensively understand the physical properties of the MAB phases, a systematic exploration into their lattice dynamics, Raman, and infrared vibrations is undertaken for 24 previously screened stable Al/Si‐containing MAB phases with six crystal structures using density functional theory, where Raman experiments on Cr2AlB2 and Mo2AlB2 as well as the previous work confirm the high accuracy of these calculations with an error <5%. With a strong dependence on the atomic mass and chemical bonding, all Raman‐ and infrared‐active modes for these types are identified, including the atomic motion and wavenumbers. Unlike the 222 and 512 phases, the A atoms in the 212, 314, 414, and 416 phases do not participate in Raman vibrations. Moreover, a linear relationship is found between the Raman wavenumbers of the MAB phase and m−1/2, where m is the mass of primary vibrating atoms. Furthermore, the high coefficient of certainty (>0.90) underscores the robust explanatory power of m−1/2 for the vibrational wavenumber.
Leading care close to the patient in community home care for older persons: A lifeworld hermeneutic study from nurses' perspectives
Authors: Claesson Maria , Ljungblad Cecilia , Lindberg Elisabeth 
Published: June 2024

AbstractAimTo explain and understand leading care close to older persons in community home care from the perspective of registered nurses (RNs).BackgroundLeading care close to older persons in home care is an overlooked and not well‐described phenomenon. In home care, specific demands are placed on the registered nurse, as responsible for leading care guided by the older person's expectations and desires.DesignA reflective lifeworld hermeneutic approach grounded in the philosophy of phenomenology and hermeneutics. The study followed the COREQ checklist.MethodsIndividual interviews were conducted with nine RNs working in community home care in a community in western Sweden. The data were analysed with a lifeworld hermeneutic approach.ResultsThe findings present four partially interpreted themes: leading with respect in a shared space, leadership that involves existential questions of life, balancing responsibility enables preservation of autonomy and challenges in maintaining a patient perspective. The partially interpreted themes conclude in a main interpretation: The patient perspective as an anchor when balancing responsibility for another person in an existential vulnerability of life.ConclusionLeading care means being both close to the patient and at a distance when caring is performed through the hands of others. Ethical demands are placed on RNs as they encounter the vulnerability of the older person.Relevance to Clinical PracticeThe findings can contribute to a greater understanding of the meaning of RNs as leaders and may have an impact for decision makers and policies to create conditions for leadership that contributes to dignified care for older persons in community home care.Patient of Public ContributionRegistered nurses working in community home care participated in data collection.
Which leadership style do more narcissistic subordinates prefer in supervisors?
Authors: Eck Jennifer , Schoel Christiane , Sedikides Constantine , Gebauer Jochen E. , Stahlberg Dagmar 
Published: June 2024

AbstractBackground and ObjectiveSubordinates in Western cultures generally prefer supervisors with a democratic rather than autocratic leadership style. It is unclear, however, whether more narcissistic subordinates share or challenge this prodemocratic default attitude. On the one hand, more narcissistic individuals strive for power and thus may favor a democratic supervisor, who grants them power through participation. On the other hand, similarity attracts and, thus, more narcissistic subordinates may favor an autocratic supervisor, who exhibits the same leadership style that they would adopt in a leadership position.MethodFour studies (Ntotal = 1284) tested these competing hypotheses with two narcissism dimensions: admiration and rivalry. Participants indicated the leadership style they generally prefer in a supervisor (Study 1), rated their own supervisor's leadership style (Study 2a: individual ratings; Study 2b: team ratings), and evaluated profiles of democratic and autocratic supervisors (Study 3).ResultsWe found a significantly weaker prodemocratic default attitude among more narcissistic subordinates: Subordinates' narcissism was negatively related to endorsement of democratic supervisors and positively related to endorsement of autocratic supervisors. Those relations were mostly driven by narcissistic rivalry rather than narcissistic admiration.ConclusionThe results help clarify the narcissistic personality and, in particular, how more narcissistic subordinates prefer to be led.
