Published: April 2024

Abstract

Phosphagermyenylidenes (R − P = Ge), as heavier analogs of isonitriles, whether in their free state or as complexes with a Lewis base, have not been previously identified as isolable entities. In this study, we report the synthesis of a stable monomeric phosphagermyenylidene within the coordination sphere of a Lewis base under ambient conditions. This species was synthesized by Lewis base-induced de-dimerization of a cyclic phosphagermyenylidene dimer or via Me3SiCl elimination in a phosphinochlorogermylene framework. The deliberate integration of a bulky, electropositive N-heterocyclic boryl group at the phosphorus site, combined with coordination stabilization by a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene at the low-valent germanium site, effectively mitigated its natural tendency towards oligomerization. Structural analyses and theoretical calculations have demonstrated that this unprecedented species features a P = Ge double bond, characterized by conventional electron-sharing π and σ bonds, complemented by lone pairs at both the phosphorus and germanium atoms. Preliminary reactivity studies show that this base-stabilized phosphagermyenylidene demonstrates facile release of ligands at the Ge atom, coordination to silver through the lone pair on P, and versatile reactivity including both (cyclo)addition and cleavage of the P = Ge double bond.
Discharge estimation in compound channels with converging and diverging floodplains using an optimised Gradient Boosting Algorithm
Authors: Sandilya Shashank Shekhar , Das Bhabani Shankar , Proust Sébastien , Shekhar Divyanshu 
Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT
River discharge estimation is vital for effective flood management and infrastructure planning. River systems consist of a main channel and floodplains, collectively forming a compound channel, posing challenges in discharge calculation, particularly when floodplains converge or diverge. In the present study, ML algorithms such as XGBoost, CatBoost, and LightGBM were developed to predict discharge in a compound channel. PSO algorithm is applied for optimization of hyperparameters of gradient boosting models, denoted as PSO-XGBoost, PSO-LightGBM, and PSO-CatBoost. ML model discharge predictions were validated with existing empirical models and feature importance was explored using SHAP and sensitivity analysis. Results show that all three gradient-boosting algorithms effectively predict discharge in compound channels and are further enhanced by application of PSO algorithm. The R2 values for XGBoost, PSO-XGBoost, CatBoost, and PSO-CatBoost exceed 0.95, whereas they are above 0.85 for LightBoost and PSO-LightBoost. PSO-CatBoost performance is better than other models based on findings of statistical performance parameters, uncertainty analysis, reliability index, and resilience index for prediction of discharge in a compound channel with converging and diverging flood plains. The findings of this study validate the suitability of the proposed models especially optimized with PSO is recommended for predicting discharge in a compound channel.
Effectiveness of a Web-Based Individual Coping and Alcohol Intervention Program for Children of Parents With Alcohol Use Problems: Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Wall Håkan , Hansson Helena , Zetterlind Ulla , Kvillemo Pia , Elgán Tobias H 
Published: April 2024

Background
Children whose parents have alcohol use problems are at an increased risk of several negative consequences, such as poor school performance, an earlier onset of substance use, and poor mental health. Many would benefit from support programs, but the figures reveal that only a small proportion is reached by existing support. Digital interventions can provide readily accessible support and potentially reach a large number of children. Research on digital interventions aimed at this target group is scarce. We have developed a novel digital therapist-assisted self-management intervention targeting adolescents whose parents had alcohol use problems. This program aims to strengthen coping behaviors, improve mental health, and decrease alcohol consumption in adolescents.

Objective
This study aims to examine the effectiveness of a novel web-based therapist-assisted self-management intervention for adolescents whose parents have alcohol use problems.

Methods
Participants were recruited on the internet from social media and websites containing health-related information about adolescents. Possible participants were screened using the short version of the Children of Alcoholics Screening Test-6. Eligible participants were randomly allocated to either the intervention group (n=101) or the waitlist control group (n=103), and they were unblinded to the condition. The assessments, all self-assessed, consisted of a baseline and 2 follow-ups after 2 and 6 months. The primary outcome was the Coping With Parents Abuse Questionnaire (CPAQ), and secondary outcomes were the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT-C), and Ladder of Life (LoL).

Results
For the primary outcome, CPAQ, a small but inconclusive treatment effect was observed (Cohen d=–0.05 at both follow-up time points). The intervention group scored 38% and 46% lower than the control group on the continuous part of the AUDIT-C at the 2- and 6-month follow-up, respectively. All other between-group comparisons were inconclusive at either follow-up time point. Adherence was low, as only 24% (24/101) of the participants in the intervention group completed the intervention.

Conclusions
The findings were inconclusive for the primary outcome but demonstrate that a digital therapist-assisted self-management intervention may contribute to a reduction in alcohol consumption. These results highlight the potential for digital interventions to reach a vulnerable, hard-to-reach group of adolescents but underscore the need to develop more engaging support interventions to increase adherence.

Association Between Sleep Efficiency Variability and Cognition Among Older Adults: Cross-Sectional Accelerometer Study
Authors: Sakal Collin , Li Tingyou , Li Juan , Yang Can , Li Xinyue 
Published: April 2024

Abstract

Background
Sleep efficiency is often used as a measure of sleep quality. Getting sufficiently high-quality sleep has been associated with better cognitive function among older adults; however, the relationship between day-to-day sleep quality variability and cognition has not been well-established.

Objective
We aimed to determine the relationship between day-to-day sleep efficiency variability and cognitive function among older adults, using accelerometer data and 3 cognitive tests.

Methods
We included older adults aged >65 years with at least 5 days of accelerometer wear time from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) who completed the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer’s Disease Word-Learning subtest (CERAD-WL), and the Animal Fluency Test (AFT). Sleep efficiency was derived using a data-driven machine learning algorithm. We examined associations between sleep efficiency variability and scores on each cognitive test adjusted for age, sex, education, household income, marital status, depressive symptoms, diabetes, smoking habits, alcohol consumption, arthritis, heart disease, prior heart attack, prior stroke, activities of daily living, and instrumental activities of daily living. Associations between average sleep efficiency and each cognitive test score were further examined for comparison purposes.

Results
A total of 1074 older adults from the NHANES were included in this study. Older adults with low average sleep efficiency exhibited higher levels of sleep efficiency variability (Pearson r=−0.63). After adjusting for confounding factors, greater average sleep efficiency was associated with higher scores on the DSST (per 10% increase, β=2.25, 95% CI 0.61 to 3.90) and AFT (per 10% increase, β=.91, 95% CI 0.27 to 1.56). Greater sleep efficiency variability was univariably associated with worse cognitive function based on the DSST (per 10% increase, β=−3.34, 95% CI −5.33 to −1.34), CERAD-WL (per 10% increase, β=−1.00, 95% CI −1.79 to −0.21), and AFT (per 10% increase, β=−1.02, 95% CI −1.68 to −0.36). In fully adjusted models, greater sleep efficiency variability remained associated with lower DSST (per 10% increase, β=−2.01, 95% CI −3.62 to −0.40) and AFT (per 10% increase, β=−.84, 95% CI −1.47 to −0.21) scores but not CERAD-WL (per 10% increase, β=−.65, 95% CI −1.39 to 0.08) scores.

Conclusions
Targeting consistency in sleep quality may be useful for interventions seeking to preserve cognitive function among older adults.
Time Efficiency, Reliability, and User Satisfaction of the Tooth Memo App for Recording Oral Health Information: Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study
Authors: Detsomboonrat Palinee , Pisarnturakit Pagaporn Pantuwadee 
Published: April 2024

Background
Digitalizing oral health data through an app can help manage the extensive data obtained through oral health surveys. The Tooth Memo app collects data from oral health surveys and personal health information.

Objective
This study aims to evaluate the evaluate the time efficiency, reliability, and user satisfaction of the Tooth Memo app.

Methods
There are 2 sections in the Tooth Memo app: oral health survey and personal oral health record. For the oral health survey section of the Tooth Memo app, different data entry methods were compared and user satisfaction was evaluated. Fifth-year dental students had access to the oral health survey section in the Tooth Memo app during their clinical work. The time required for data entry, analysis, and summary of oral health survey data by 3 methods, that is, pen-and-paper (manual), Tooth Memo app on iOS device, and Tooth Memo app on Android device were compared among 3 data recorders who entered patients’ information on decayed, missing, and filled permanent teeth (DMFT) index and community periodontal index (CPI), which were read aloud from the database of 103 patients by another dental personnel. The interobserver reliability of the 3 different data-entering procedures was evaluated by percent disagreement and kappa statistic values. Laypeople had access to the personal oral health record section of this app, and their satisfaction was evaluated through a Likert scale questionnaire. The satisfaction assessments for both sections of the Tooth Memo app involved the same set of questions on the app design, usage, and overall satisfaction.

Results
Of the 103 dental records on DMFT and CPI, 5.2% (177/3399) data points were missing in the manual data entries, but no data on tooth status were missing in the Android and iOS methods. Complete CPI information was provided by all 3 methods. Transferring data from paper to computer took an average of 55 seconds per case. The manual method required 182 minutes more than the iOS or Android methods to clean the missing data and transfer and analyze the tooth status data of 103 patients. The users, that is, 109 fifth-year dental students and 134 laypeople, expressed high satisfaction with using the Tooth Memo app. The overall satisfaction with the oral health survey ranged between 3 and 10, with an average (SD) of 7.86 (1.46). The overall satisfaction with the personal oral health record ranged between 4 and 10, with an average (SD) of 8.09 (1.28).

Conclusions
The Tooth Memo app was more efficacious than manual data entry for collecting data of oral health surveys. Dental personnel as well as general users reported high satisfaction when using this app.

Published: April 2024

The emergence of anime among university students has influenced the formation of a distinctive lifestyle, primarily through the imitation of concepts depicted in these anime. Consequently, this paper examines the impact of anime on the lives of university students in Banda Aceh, aiming to understand both the positive and negative effects of anime and Japanese culture on students' lifestyle changes. This qualitative research utilized observation, interviews, and documentation as data collection methods. The findings reveal various forms of lifestyle changes, including alterations in motivation, social interaction, the incorporation of the Japanese language into daily life, the adoption of anime fashion, imitative behaviors, and shifts in students' perspectives towards anime and Japanese culture. The positive impacts identified from anime include the development of Japanese language skills, anime serving as a source of inspiration, and anime facilitating social interaction among students. However, the study also highlights negative impacts, such as the excessive amount of time spent watching anime, experiences of hallucinations, and exposure to inappropriate content or content overly focused on sexuality.

Information Technology Capability, Managerial Ability, and Financial Reporting Quality: A Research Note
Authors: Mungai Ann N. , Lee Lorraine S. 
Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT
The role of a firm’s information technology (IT) capability and managerial ability on financial reporting quality has been documented in prior literature. However, scant empirical work exists on the moderating effect of managerial ability on a firm’s IT capability and its impact on financial reporting quality. Drawing on the resource-based view of the firm and a sample of firms from 2000 to 2013, we predict and find that InformationWeek 500 (IW500) firms with high-ability managers are associated with better financial reporting quality than non-IW500 firms. Specifically, we find that IW500 firms have better financial reporting quality and are less likely to restate their financial statements in subsequent periods and the interaction of IT capability and managerial ability improves financial reporting quality. Our findings document the importance of IT and the moderating effect of managerial ability on IT in influencing financial reporting quality.

Sequential Reporting Bias
Authors: Aghamolla Cyrus , Guttman Ilan , Petrov Evgeny 
Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT
Firms with correlated fundamentals often issue reports sequentially, leading to information spillovers. The theoretical literature has investigated multifirm reporting, but only when firms report simultaneously. We examine the implications of sequential reporting, where firms aim to maximize their market price and can manipulate their reports. The introduction of sequentiality significantly alters the biasing behavior of firms and the resulting informational environment relative to simultaneous reporting. In particular, a lead firm always manipulates more when reports are issued sequentially. Moreover, relative to simultaneous reporting, sequential reporting reduces the overall information available to the market about each firm, resulting in less efficient and less volatile prices. Additionally, we find that stronger correlation in firm fundamentals can amplify the lead firm’s incentive for manipulation under sequentiality, in contrast to simultaneous reporting. We offer further results regarding, for example, market response coefficients, and provide a number of empirical implications.

Published: April 2024

A produção de narrativas trazidas em conversas durante encontros virtuais com 'docentesdiscentes' nos períodos da pandemia e pós-Covid-19 possibilitou criar currículos, a partir das redes educativas que formamos e pelas quais somos formados. Ao narrar a vida e literaturizar a ciência, em vivências de ‘práticasteorias' com podcasts, via ambientes virtuais, criou-se um acervo de áudios com produções sensíveis, em um período de extrema necessidade de escuta, acolhimento e afetividade. Defendemos em nossas pesquisas que, nas conversas, currículos são fabulados nos cotidianos da pesquisa, narrativas e escutas se entrelaçam para novas criações. Neste artigo, vamos narrar essa história com a intercessão de Alves, Cavarero, Certeau, Deleuze, Ferraço e muitas outras vozes com as quais conversamos e que nos ajudam a fabular a criação de 'conhecimentossignificações'.
