Does overreaching from endurance-based training impair sleep: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Murphy Conor , Svansdottir Steinunn Anna , Dupuy Olivier , Louis Julien 
Published: May 2024

Background
Overreaching is often linked to a deterioration in sleep quality, yet a comprehensive review is lacking. The aim of this systemic review and meta-analysis was to synthesise the literature and quantify the effect of overreaching from endurance-based training on sleep quality.

Method
The review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. The final search was conducted in May 2023 using four electronic databases (Web of Science Core Collection, MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Database, SPORTDiscus). Studies were included for a qualitative review, while random-effects meta-analyses were conducted for objective and subjective sleep.

Results and discussion
The search returned 805 articles. Fourteen studies were included in the systematic review; Three and eight articles were eligible for the meta-analyses (objective and subjective, respectively). On average, the overreaching protocols were sixteen days in length (6 to 28 days) and included exercise modalities such as cycling (number of studies [k] = 5), rowing (k = 4), triathlon (k = 3), running (k = 2), and swimming (k = 1). Actigraphy was the only form of objective sleep measurement used across all studies (k = 3), while various instruments were used to capture subjective sleep quality (k = 13). When comparing objective sleep quality following the overreaching intervention to baseline (or a control), there was a significant reduction in sleep efficiency (mean difference = -2.0%; 95% CI -3.2, -0.8%; Glass’ Δ = -0.83; p < 0.01). In contrast, when comparing subjective sleep quality following the overreaching intervention to baseline (or a control), there was no effect on subjective sleep quality (Glass’ Δ = -0.27; 95% CI -0.79, 0.25; p = 0.08). Importantly, none of the included studies were judged to have a low risk of bias. While acknowledging the need for more high-quality studies, it appears that overreaching from endurance-based training can deteriorate objective sleep without influencing the perception of sleep quality.

Protocol registration
This protocol was registered in The International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) on 21st November 2022, with the registration number CRD42022373204.

Authors: Sultana Sharmin , Muhammad Faisal , Chowdhury A. B. M. Alauddin , Mistry Sabuj Kanti 
Published: May 2024

Objective
This study aimed to identify the child-related factors associated with depressive symptoms among mothers of school-going children in Dhaka city of Bangladesh.

Methods
The study followed a cross-sectional design and was conducted between June and December 2019 among mothers of school-going children from Dhaka City, Bangladesh. A multistage sampling technique was adopted, and a total of 324 mothers of school-going children studying in the same school for at least six months were selected. Depressive symptoms of mothers were measured using a 20-item Self-Rating Depression Scale weighted to 100 percent, with 25–49 categorized as no depression and ≥ 50 as having depression. A binary logistic regression model was executed to identify the child-related factors associated with depressive symptoms among mothers. All statistical analyses were performed using the statistical software, Stata (Version 14.0).

Results
More than half of the participants (54.3%) were aged 40 years or above and had up to HSC level education (52.5%). The majority of the participants were homemakers (67.0%), mothers of a girl child (53.1%), and had a family income of 50,000 BDT or more (52.8%). Adjusted analyses revealed that the mother’s depressive symptoms were associated with their child’s frequent complaints of headaches or stomach aches (aOR = 13.19, 95% CI 3.03–57.37), having an injury (aOR = 4.05, 95% CI 1.44–11.41), and unfriendly relationship with mothers (aOR = 21.46, 95% CI 5.04–91.28).

Conclusion
The present study highlighted several child-related factors that are associated with depressive symptoms among mothers that need to be considered while designing any intervention to address depressive symptoms among mothers of school-going children. It is also important to counsel mothers and fathers of the children about the importance of having a sound mother-child relationship while addressing depressive symptoms among mothers.
Multimodal feedback is not always clearer, more useful or satisfying
Authors: Phillips Michael , Henderson Michael , Ryan Tracii 
Published: May 2024

Feedback comments on summative assessment tasks are an importnat part of students' learning experience. Recently, researchers have noted that digitally recorded comments can be beneficial for both students and educators. This paper compares the clarity, usefulness and satisfaction of digitally recorded and text-based feedback comments produced by 14 tutors in a large Master's level Education unit. A sample of 164 students completed the online survey. Initial analysis of the data reveal mixed results. When secondary variables are accounted for and outliers discounted it is revealed that digitally recorded multimodal feedback processes, in general, can be clearer, more useful and more satisfying. However, it is also clear that using technology such as video is not a silicon bullet to improving feedback. Several potential factors are identified and are discussed in terms of micro- and meso-level contextual conditions that need to be further researched.
Assessing the impact of an "Echo360-Active Learning Platform"-enabled classroom in a large enrolment blended learning undergraduate course in Genetics
Authors: Montpetit Colin , Sabourin Sonya 
Published: May 2024

In response to calls from the higher education science community to increase student engagement in learning, scientific teaching (reflecting the true nature of science by capturing the process of discovery in the classroom) and reflective teaching (or scholarly teaching), a genetics course was redesigned as a blended learning course. The new course model has provided several opportunities to engage students in the 5E learning cycle and to redefine the classroom experience. Despite the growing literature on effective design of blended courses, very little research has been conducted and very little is known about the impact of components of blended courses for large enrolment courses in relation to student learning outcomes. The goal of this investigation was to assess the impact of an Echo360-ALP enabled classroom on learning gains in a large enrolment blended learning course.

Published: May 2024

This paper explores how student journalists' adoption of digital technology during real world work-integrated learning (WIL) reporting projects, enabled authentic learning. Student journalists at a regional Queensland university interviewed the candidates for each of the four-yearly local government area elections, from 2008 to 2016, in Australia's second largest inland city and its surrounds. They published their multimedia stories on the Radio Journalism Online blog. This study considers the importance, when framing WIL projects for student journalists, of embracing the traditional and new technical skills and digital literacies that graduates will need to be job ready for multimedia newsrooms. It also considers the impact of recording and telling stories in the talents' or actors' own words on the students' perceptions of the accurcay and reliability of their election reports.

Abstract
Doped materials have received substantial attention due to their increased usefulness in photocatalytic applications. Within this context, the present study was dedicated to investigating the potential of the precipitation technique for producing La-doped tungsten oxide (WO3). To comprehensively characterize the synthesized La-doped WO3, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were judiciously employed. The focal point of the investigation encompassed an examination of the impact of varying La concentrations on multiple fronts: the photocatalytic activities (PCAs), as well as any associated structural and morphological modifications. This holistic approach aimed to uncover the intricate relationship between La incorporation and the resulting properties of the WO3 matrix. Through the degradation of Malachite green dye within an aqueous medium, PCA of the La-doped WO3 samples was quantitatively evaluated. Remarkably, over 180 min under irradiation of visible light irradiation, the achieved levels of dye degradation were remarkable, amounting to 81.165, 83.11, and 83.85% for the respective samples. These findings firmly underscore the potential of La-doped WO3 as a proficient photocatalyst, particularly in color removal from wastewater. This study paves the way for enhanced wastewater treatment approaches by utilizing doped WO3 materials.
A heavy-tailed model for analyzing miRNA-seq raw read counts
Authors: Krutto Annika , Haugdahl Nøst Therese , Thoresen Magne 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This article addresses the limitations of existing statistical models in analyzing and interpreting highly skewed miRNA-seq raw read count data that can range from zero to millions. A heavy-tailed model using discrete stable distributions is proposed as a novel approach to better capture the heterogeneity and extreme values commonly observed in miRNA-seq data. Additionally, the parameters of the discrete stable distribution are proposed as an alternative target for differential expression analysis. An R package for computing and estimating the discrete stable distribution is provided. The proposed model is applied to miRNA-seq raw counts from the Norwegian Women and Cancer Study (NOWAC) and the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases. The goodness-of-fit is compared with the popular Poisson and negative binomial distributions, and the discrete stable distributions are found to give a better fit for both datasets. In conclusion, the use of discrete stable distributions is shown to potentially lead to more accurate modeling of the underlying biological processes.
„Pártoljátok az árvák és özvegyek ügyét”
Authors: Mondovics Napsugár 
Published: May 2024

The prophetic exhortation quoted in the title calls for the learning of correct moral values, the conscious choice and pursuit of values that determine almost all manifestations of the individual and the community. The values set as a model and passed on to the younger generations have a normative impact on the inner life of the community, on the coexistence of rich and poor, donors and recipients, citizens and recipients. In my study I seek for an answer to the question of how the idea of social care is expressed in principles, customs and legal institutions throughout the legal order of the Old and New Testament. My aim is to collect the universal values that can form the basis of the social safety net adapted to the times.
Comments on Dante’s Conception of Value

Authors: Martins Ana Patrícia Sá , Sousa Leonardo Silva 
Published: May 2024

No ambiente escolar, ainda podemos identificar a falta de interesse dos estudantes por obras literárias, bem como as dificuldades de leitura e compreensão de textos independente do gênero textual trabalhado em sala de aula. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo, de natureza teórico-bibliográfica, tem como objetivo discutir a concepção de leitor-problematizador, sob a abordagem interdisciplinar entre Literatura e Filosofia[1], apresentando uma proposição ao ensino de leitura escrita, a partir da obra Quarto de despejo: diário de uma favelada, da escritora Carolina Maria de Jesus. Acreditamos que a construção do perfil leitor-problematizador pode oportunizar experiências de ensino-aprendizagem que fomentem a atividade de leitura e escrita enquanto experiência formadora e emancipatória do sujeito, visando à formação não apenas de leitores críticos de sua realidade, mas capazes de confrontá-la e transformá-la.
Calistenia constitucional: una futura integración del Acuerdo de Escazú con el derecho constitucional peruano
Authors: Gamboa Balbín César 
Published: May 2024

El presente artículo analiza las implicancias constitucionales de la futura vigencia del Acuerdo de Escazú (Acuerdo Regional sobre el Acceso a la Información, la Participación Pública y el Acceso a la Justicia en Asuntos Ambientales en América Latina y el Caribe) en el ordenamiento jurídico peruano. En segundo lugar, este artículo analiza si existe una consistencia entre el contenido de este tratado regional de derechos procedimentales ambientales y lo preceptuado por la Constitución del Perú. Ello implica analizar una serie de principios constitucionales asociados a la Constitución Ecológica, el principio de sostenibilidad, el derecho fundamental a gozar de un ambiente sano y el diseño constitucional de las tareas ambientales estatales. Por medio de un análisis documentario de fuentes normativas, jurisprudenciales y doctrinarias en materia ambiental, se describen los derechos procedimentales ambientales y se analiza su consistencia a nivel de la regulación constitucional con otros bienes constitucionales, como las libertades económicas. Finalmente, el Perú afronta diversos retos políticos para mejorar la gestión pública de sus recursos naturales y con ello definir su propio modelo de democracia ambiental. En ese sentido, el Acuerdo de Escazú representa tanto un reto como una oportunidad para dotar de mayor legitimidad el planeamiento de las decisiones públicas sobre los ecosistemas y el uso de los recursos naturales, y con ello evitar una posible afectación al derecho fundamental al ambiente sano.
Speak More, Students! Harnessing Technology for Active Students' Engagement in EFL English-Speaking Classes
Authors: Lokollo Natalia Christy Emy , Mali Yustinus Calvin Gai 
Published: May 2024

One of the factors that causes EFL speaking challenges is students’ lack of engagement in their English-speaking classes. In that situation, technology might have the potential to help EFL teachers engage their students to speak more enthusiastically. This study explores technology tools used by teachers in EFL speaking, how they use the technology to teach EFL speaking to different levels of students, and to what extent the use of technology by the teachers can engage their students when learning EFL speaking. To achieve those research objectives, the researchers approached the study qualitatively by conducting a semi-structured interview with three EFL teachers from a non-formal school in Salatiga, Central Java, related to the purposes of the study. Through a rigorous peer debriefing process between the researchers, the data analysis results indicated that the participants used simple and common technology tools (e.g., PowerPoint, an online website, Google Docs, and Zoom) to teach EFL speaking. Notably, the technology tools could support the participants in engaging their students in the class by providing authentic and interesting materials that are completed with pictures and related to the students' lives. Questions for future research explorations are presented.
