The Ws of Parental Help-Seeking: When, Where, and for What Do Parents Seek Help for Child Mental Health
Authors: Sawrikar Vilas , Van Dyke Cheryl , Smith Slep Amy M. 
Published: March 2024

AbstractParental help-seeking preferences may help explain the treatment gap in child mental health. This study examined mothers’ and fathers’ help-seeking behaviors for child mental health to further understand their individual preferences for treatment. A total of 394 mothers and fathers completed questionnaires assessing the types of help sought for mental health concerns for a target child (age 3–7 years), as well as measures representing illness profile, predisposing characteristics, and barriers/facilitators proposed to influence help-seeking. Parents often sought informal rather than professional help. Regression modelling indicated mothers’ different help-seeking behaviors were significantly associated with illness profile (marital quality, child mental health, parental education), predisposing factors (parental attributions, child age), and family income, while fathers’ different help-seeking behaviors were significantly associated with child demographics (age, gender). The results support expanding treatments into nonclinical settings and improving child mental health literacy to improve appropriate parental help-seeking for child mental health concerns.

AbstractIn 2021, national leaders in the United States declared a “national youth mental health crisis.” Still, only 1-in-4 children receive adequate mental healthcare access. Patient Navigator Programs (PNPs) can improve children’s referral-to-connection to mental health services. We examined patient- and community-level factors associated with pediatric mental healthcare access. Pediatric Support Services (PSS) is a PNP that triages mental and behavioral health referrals within a large health system in a southeastern state. This study analyzes PSS data from September 2017-March 2023 and Child Opportunity Index 2.0 state-normed zip-code level data to assess social drivers of health estimates. Structural equation modeling was conducted between patient- and community-level factors and connection to mental health services. Overall, 62.7% of children connected to mental health services since PSS’ inception. Regardless of SDOH, as children get older, they are more likely to connect with mental health services (β = .053, SE = .010, p < .001). Children with greater number of referral needs are more likely to connect with mental health services (β = .034, SE = .011, p = .002). Further, children who live in communities with higher opportunity levels are more likely to connect with mental health services (β = .016, SE = .008, p = .040), suggesting that children who live in low-income communities experience more barriers to mental healthcare. Social drivers may inform referral practices and tiered navigation support for optimal mental healthcare access among children. Further research should demonstrate the effectiveness of PNPs integrated within healthcare and community-based settings.
The Criminological Analysis of Communal Motives on Corrective Rape in African Communities: A Case Study of Pietermaritzburg, Kwa-Zulu Natal
Authors: Ngongoma Sindiswa , Maweni Vuyelwa 
Published: March 2024

AbstractCorrective rape can be defined as a hate crime that entails the rape of any member of a group that does not conform to gender or sexual orientation norms, where the motive of the perpetrator is to “correct” the individual, fundamentally combining gender-based violence and homophobic violence. In South Africa, this type of discriminatory act is more common in rural townships, where women have less independence, education and support systems in place. It is estimated that at least 500 lesbians yearly are victims of corrective rape in South Africa; however, these statistics stand to be inaccurate as societal homophobia keeps many from reporting the crime. This study was completed to ascertain the role of communal motives in corrective rape in African communities, studying the community of Pietermaritzburg which is a city situated in Kwa-Zulu Natal (KZN). A qualitative study was adopted which aimed to analyse and establish the communal motives of African communities in normalizing the practice of corrective rape as a cure to convert homosexuals into heterosexuals. The study took place in the gay–lesbian network centre in Pietermaritzburg where data were gathered from the LGBTIAQ community. The objectives of the study were to assess the nature of the crime, to assess the influence of culture on the normalization of corrective rape as a cure for same-sex sexual attractions, to determine the effects of corrective rape on the LGBTI community, to establish the causes of corrective rape in the community and to determine if the rural community is enlightened about the rights of the LGBTIAQ community. The study also makes use of theoretical framework, including the victim precipitation theory, lifestyle exposure theory and social learning theory to explain and argue the research problem.

Published: March 2024

AbstractThis study involved a pilot implementation of an evidence based school readiness intervention in new community contexts. The Head Start Research Based, Developmentally Informed (REDI) program was implemented in preschools on and near a Native American reservation with both indigenous and non-indigenous students and teachers. The REDI curriculum involved 5 subcomponents targeting children’s literacy skills and social-emotional development. Teachers were provided with inperson and on-line training and in-person implementation support from a REDI coach. Implementation fidelity included ratings of of curriculum dosage and child engagement, as well as coach ratings of teaching quality using a modified version of the Classroom Assessment Scoring Scale (CLASS). Teachers indicated which adaptations they made to the curriculum and the reasons for these adaptations. Teachers also completed qualitative, post-implementation interviews to obtain their impressions of REDI and the need for planned modifications in their context. Analyses included measures of implementation fidelity and qualitative evaluation of adaptations. Results indicated that teachers found the REDI program both feasible and helpful for their students. Suggestions for planned adaptations included more STEM activities and the freedom to choose the dialogic reading books. Many spontaneous adaptations were noted. Teachers indicated that pragmatic issues, such as lack of time, were the main reasons for adapting the program, and deletions and substitutions of curricular activities were the most common types of changes. Implementation of program subcomponents improved gradually over the course of the school year. Some subcomponents were more likely to be adapted than others.
A long-term shift to include students’ first language in the mathematics teaching practice: socialization events and learning opportunities

Published: March 2024

AbstractThe notion of multilingual students’ first language has been advocated as a resource in mathematics learning for some time. However, few studies have investigated how implementing students’ L1 in the teaching practice impacts multilingual students’ mathematics learning opportunities. Based on a 9-month-long ethnographic study conducted in Iran, we investigate what a long-term shift from mathematics teaching in the language of instruction (Persian) to mathematics teaching that includes students’ first language (Turkish) may mean in terms of learning opportunities. In language positive classrooms, students’ socialization into mathematics and language includes using students’ first languages and paying explicit attention to different aspects of language use in mathematics. Among other things, socialization events provide possibilities to share explanations of mathematical thinking. The results of this study suggest that using students’ first languages may reinforce other language positive socialization events and provide mathematics learning opportunities during individual assignment activities. Furthermore, the results suggest that the conceived value of mathematics education in the local communities changed with the introduction of students’ L1 in the teaching practice. Consequently, this study indicates that using students’ first languages in mathematics classrooms may be a key issue in multilingual contexts.
Role of three-dimensional vortex motions on horizontal eddies in an open-channel cavity
Authors: Dong Wenhao , Uchida Tatsuhiko 
Published: March 2024

AbstractLateral cavities are a popular object of study in hydraulic research as they are widely found in rivers and hydraulic facilities and significantly impact flow patterns, sediment transport, and water quality in aquatic ecosystems. While the effects of open-channel cavities on various aspects including characteristics of three-dimensional structures have been extensively studied, the role of vertical flow structures in the cavity has not been focused on. This study examines the relationship between the shallowness parameter and the three-dimensional flow effects on the dynamics of an open-channel lateral cavity flow with horizontal vortex motion, comparing the conventional two-dimensional model (2DC), advanced depth-integrated models including general bottom velocity calculation method (GBVC) with the ability to consider vertical flow structures, simplified bottom velocity calculation method with the shallow water assumption (SBVC), a three-dimensional model (3DC), and experimental data. The comparison results demonstrate that the three-dimensional flow effect significantly impacts the velocity distribution and vortex evolution in the cavity. The GBVC model demonstrates a good agreement with the flow patterns by the 3DC model and experimental results in the cavity, whereas the 2DC and SBVC models are unsuitable for deep-water conditions.

AbstractThe global water crisis, an enormous concern according to the World Economic Forum, poses a significant challenge to long-term sustainability, exacerbated by the high energy demand associated with water supply and treatment. As the renewable energy sector grows, the need for green technologies to support the water-energy nexus becomes evident. However, mere technological advancements are insufficient to address complex water-related challenges. This paper presents a transdisciplinary collaborative effort involving engineers, geographers, management researchers, and environmentalists working with practitioners in a cross-border network. The study explores through action learning research how, in a transdisciplinary partnership, network action learning influences the exploration and implementation of novel green technology and the development of innovation capabilities. The research is structured around three themes: green technology platforms, policy support and guidance, and dissemination and collaboration. It identifies the factors impacting technology exploration and application and how concurrently green innovation capabilities are developed. The study emphasizes the significance of transdisciplinary collaboration and offers valuable insights into addressing UN Sustainability Goals related to clean water, sustainable industry, and partnerships. It contributes to innovation capability theory and provides practical guidance to researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, emphasizing the need for holistic approaches to address the water-energy crisis and achieve sustainable development.
The impact of agriculture, energy consumption and economic growth on ecological footprint: testing the agriculture-induced EKC for Türkiye
Authors: Boluk Gulden , Karaman Suleyman 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThe main purpose of the current study is to empirically analyze the impact of agriculture, energy consumption, and economic growth on environmental degradation in Türkiye for the period of 1968–2020. Against the backdrop, we tested agriculture-induced EKC hypothesis employing Ecological Footprint (EFP) instead of emissions because EFP better represents the sustainability. Our results from ARDL model indicate the validation of the EKC hypothesis for Türkiye. Hence environmental deterioration worsens with economic growth and improves with higher level of GDP. Moreover, increase in both the agricultural value added per capita and energy use per capita increases the EFP per capita. In other words, agricultural production, and energy usage are important drivers for environmental quality. The causality results show the presence of growth hypothesis between agriculture and GDP and energy-EFP for Türkiye. Therefore, government should envisage the policies towards sustainable economic growth as discussed under the conclusion part.
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD): Organizational Control and Justice Perspectives
Authors: Lam Helen , Beckman Terry , Harcourt Mark , Shanmugam Sandra 
Published: March 2024

AbstractBring your Own Device (BYOD) is an increasingly popular phenomenon at work, with several potential benefits (e.g., cost reduction, convenience and flexibility) and concerns (e.g., security risk, blurring of work-life boundary, and privacy infringement). Yet, systematic research incorporating theoretical perspectives on BYOD has been limited. This paper analyzes BYOD by integrating organizational control and justice frameworks. For control, approaches advanced by Hopwood, Ouchi and Edwards were adopted, covering simple control, administrative/bureaucratic control, technical/technological control, social control, and self control. The justice framework includes both distributive and procedural fairness. It is posited that justice/fairness mediates the effects of the control mechanisms. Practices under various controls that are seen as fair or unfair are discussed and recommendations provided.
Fertilisation strategies and their influence on nutrient flows in organic apple orchards
Authors: Lepp Birgit , Zikeli Sabine , Hartung Jens , Möller Kurt 
Published: March 2024

AbstractIn organic fruit production, permitted fertilisers contain multiple nutrients with stoichiometries differing from the nutrient offtakes of the fruit trees. Furthermore, some pesticides contain nutrients resulting in additional inputs. These conditions may cause unbalanced nutrient supplies and thereby influence the long-term sustainability of the system. An analysis of nutrient management practices in organic apple farms was conducted in three Southern and one Northern German apple-growing region. Data on nutrient inputs (via fertilisers and pesticides) and outputs (via fruit) per orchard were collected along with soil samples from up to five orchards per farm on 19 farms. On average, farmers fertilised 37 kg N and harvested 23 Mg apples per ha and year. Nutrient budgets showed imbalances for N (+ 25 kg ha−1 year−1), P (+ 3 kg), K (− 4 kg), Ca (+ 37 kg), Mg (+ 4 kg), S (+ 53 kg), Na (+ 4 kg) and Cl (+ 3 kg). Base fertilisers like compost or manure contributed to higher nutrient inputs due to a larger P and K-to-N-ratio. Commercial organic fertilisers such as keratins or vinasse contained much lower ratios. The main S input sources were pesticides (46 kg). N inputs by base (p = 0.06) and commercial (p = 0.37) fertilisers had no significant effect on the yield. Balanced nutrition can best be achieved by applying a combination of 20% of the total N demand via base fertilisers, complemented with commercial fertilisers with low element-to-N-ratios (e. g. keratin fertilisers, vinasse or biological N2 fixation). No correlation was found between soil nutrient status and nutrient budgets. Site conditions and internal field nutrient flows (transfer of the inter-row biomass via mulching into the tree row) had a stronger influence on the soil nutrient content than fertilisation strategy. In addition, fruit orchards showed a spatial differentiation of soil nutrient contents. Elevated P and K contents above the recommended range in the tree row were found in 67% of the orchards, while tendencies of depletion were found in the inter-row area. Mulching schemes which transfer biomass from the inter-row area to the tree row need to be adapted to this condition.

AbstractInternational Guidelines consider left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) as an important parameter to categorize patients with heart failure (HF) and to define recommended treatments in clinical practice. However, LVEF has some technical and clinical limitations, being derived from geometric assumptions and is unable to evaluate intrinsic myocardial function and LV filling pressure (LVFP). Moreover, it has been shown to fail to predict clinical outcome in patients with end-stage HF. The analysis of LV antegrade flow derived from pulsed-wave Doppler (stroke volume index, stroke distance, cardiac output, and cardiac index) and non-invasive evaluation of LVFP have demonstrated some advantages and prognostic implications in HF patients. Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) is able to unmask intrinsic myocardial systolic dysfunction in HF patients, particularly in those with LV preserved EF, hence allowing analysis of LV, right ventricular and left atrial (LA) intrinsic myocardial function (global peak atrial LS, (PALS)). Global PALS has been proven a reliable index of LVFP which could fill the gaps “gray zone” in the previous Guidelines algorithm for the assessment of LV diastolic dysfunction and LVFP, being added to the latest European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging Consensus document for the use of multimodality imaging in evaluating HFpEF. The aim of this review is to highlight the importance of the hemodynamics multiparametric approach of assessing myocardial function (from LVFP to stroke volume) in patients with HF, thus overcoming the limitations of LVEF.
Effects of oligotrophication and Dreissena littoral-pelagic coupling on littoral invertebrate and fish communities: insights from stable isotopes of archived samples

Published: March 2024

AbstractChanging nutrient concentrations and introduction of non-native species affect the energy and nutrient fluxes in aquatic ecosystems. As a response, invertebrate communities could be altered, and ‘novel’ trophic communities could develop. Lake Constance (Europe) experienced pronounced nutrient variation caused by cultural eutrophication (prior 1980s) and oligotrophication (post-1980) and experienced many neobiota invasions. We used archived samples to investigate the impact of oligotrophication and invasive species on carbon and nitrogen isotope signatures of littoral macroinvertebrates during spring and autumn periods from 2000 to 2015 and of littoral fish species in 2018. Isotopic signatures of invertebrate and fish species were in the same range and showed similar seasonal differences and clear patterns in respect to littoral vs pelagic food sources and trophic level. Oligotrophication did not strongly alter isotopic values and only δ15N values of invertebrates declined weakly with oligotrophication. In contrast, interannual variability of stable isotope signatures was related to abundances of the invasive Dreissena polymorpha suggesting interannual differences in the importance of benthic-pelagic coupling due to Dreissena pseudofaeces for the nutrition of littoral invertebrates. This study illustrates how stored samples can be used to detect the importance of oligotrophication and benthic-pelagic coupling on the stable isotope signatures of a benthic community.
Digital Game-Based Inquiry Learning to Improve Eighth Graders’ Inquiry Skills in Biology

Published: March 2024

AbstractThis research focuses on BioScientist, a digital game-based, inquiry-based learning program embedded in the biology curriculum that develops inquiry skills in 8th-grade students. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate a combination of elements of digital game-based learning (DGBL) with inquiry-based learning (IBL) through BioScientist and to report on its implementation. We examined whether inquiry skills and biology learning motivation change due to BioScientist. A total of 257 eighth graders participated in the research (Nexp. = 132, Ncontrol = 125). Students in the experimental group used BioScientist at home and in the classroom. The teachers in the control group did not change their teaching practices. Students’ inquiry skills were measured using the Inquiry Skills Test, and their biology learning motivation was measured using the Biology Motivation Questionnaire II. The experimental group and teachers were asked to evaluate BioScientist. The results indicated BioScientist digital game is suitable for developing inquiry skills, with the effect size being close to medium (Cohen’s d = 0.46). However, biology learning motivation was not developed. Student feedback on the BioScientist game and its use for learning is favourable. Based on the teachers’ responses, BioScientist can be used well in teaching biology. This research provides evidence that combining elements of digital game-based and inquiry-based learning is effective in developing inquiry skills. The game can be effectively integrated into the teaching practice, in line with the content of the biology curriculum.
