Published: April 2024

Objectives
University students are regarded as the backbone of society, and their mental health during a pandemic may have a substantial impact on their performance and life outcomes. The purpose of this study was to assess university students’ mental health, specifically depression, anxiety, and stress, during Lebanon’s extended COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the sociodemographic factors and lifestyle practices associated with it.

Methods
An online anonymous survey assessed the rates of mental health problems during COVID-19, controlling for socio-demographics and other lifestyle practices, in 329 undergraduate and graduate university students. Instruments utilized were the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) for depression, the Beck Anxiety Inventory (21-BAI) for anxiety, and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) for stress. The study employed descriptive statistics and multiple logistic regression models to analyze the association between depression, anxiety, and stress with sociodemographic and lifestyle factors. Results were evaluated using adjusted odds ratios and confidence intervals, with a significance level of 0.05.

Results
Moderate to severe rates of depression, anxiety and stress among students were reported by 75.9%, 72.2%, and 89.3%, respectively. The odds of anxiety and stress were higher among women compared to men. Students who used private counseling services had higher odds of anxiety and stress than those who did not. Overall rated health was a major predictor of depression and anxiety, with the "poor" and "fair" overall-reported health groups having higher odds than the "Excellent" group. When compared to those who did not smoke, students who increased their smoking intake had higher odds of depression, anxiety and stress. Students who reduced their alcohol consumption had lower odds of anxiety compared to those who did not consume alcohol. Students who reduced their physical activity had higher odds than those who increased it. Finally, students who slept fewer than seven hours daily had higher odds of depression than those who slept seven to nine hours.

Conclusion
Our findings indicate a national student mental health crisis, with exceptionally high rates of moderate to severe depression, anxiety, and stress. Factors such as gender, university program, overall rated health, importance of religion in daily decisions, private counseling, smoking cigarettes, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and sleeping, were all found to have an impact on mental health outcomes. Our study highlights the need for university administrators and mental health professionals to consider targeted mental health programming for students, particularly for women and those with poor or fair overall perceived health.

Published: April 2024

This study focuses on the effect of an Investment Valuation technique (Consensus Analysts Target Price) on Stock Price Return of listed companies in the Nigerian Exchange between the period of 2011 and 2023. The ex-post facto research design was employed in this research due to the use of historic (secondary) data from the selected fifteen (15) companies across 3 major sectors on the Nigeria Exchange (NGX). Panel autoregressive distribution lag model was the estimation techniques and inference made on 5% significance level. Prior to the data analysis, a number or pre-estimation test were carried out such as co-integration, homogeneity, and cross-sectional dependence in addition to basis correlation and descriptive analysis. Findings from the short run reveals a significant negative coefficient (-0.273) for lagged Stock Price Return (L.STR), indicating a substantial short-term correction effect. Conversely, the lagged Consensus Analyst Target Price (L.CATP) shows a positive coefficient (0.141) without statistical significance, suggesting a modest positive relationship without an immediate impact on Stock Price Return. Transitioning to the long run, the highly significant negative coefficient (-1.273) for long-run Stock Price Return (lr_STR) emphasizes a robust and persistent negative adjustment effect. Over an extended period, Consensus Analyst Target Price (lr_CATP) introduces a marginally significant positive coefficient (0.077), implying a modest positive impact on Stock Price Return. Based on the results, one recommendation concerning Consensus Analyst Target Price (CATP) and Stock Price Return is to exercise caution in relying solely on CATP for short-term decision-making. Investors should be aware that, in the short term, deviations from the lagged return may not be significantly influenced by CATP. Therefore, considering additional factors or indicators alongside CATP could enhance the accuracy of short-term decision-making in understanding stock price movements.
Eight weeks of treatment with mineralocorticoid receptor blockade does not alter vascular function in individuals with and without type 2 diabetes

Published: April 2024

AbstractAldosterone has been suggested to be involved in the microvascular complications observed in type 2 diabetes. We aimed to investigate the effect of mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) blockade on endothelial function in individuals with type 2 diabetes compared to healthy controls. We included 12 participants with type 2 diabetes and 14 controls. We measured leg hemodynamics at baseline and during femoral arterial infusion of acetylcholine and sodium nitroprusside before and 8 weeks into treatment with MR blockade (eplerenone). Acetylcholine infusion was repeated with concomitant n‐acetylcysteine (antioxidant) infusion. No difference in leg blood flow or vascular conductance was detected before or after the treatment with MR blockade in both groups and there was no difference between groups. Infusion of n‐acetylcysteine increased baseline blood flow and vascular conductance, but did not change the vascular response to acetylcholine before or after treatment with MR blockade. Skeletal muscle eNOS content was unaltered by MR blockade and no difference between groups was detected. In conclusion, we found no effect of MR blockade endothelial function in individuals with and without type 2 diabetes. As the individuals with type 2 diabetes did not have vascular dysfunction, these results might not apply to individuals with vascular dysfunction.
Disciplinary tribes and the discourse of mainstream media expert opinion articles: evidencing COVID-19 knowledge claims for a public audience
Authors: Hafner Christoph A. , Jaworska Sylvia , Sun Tongle 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Much applied linguistic research has investigated how experts from different disciplines – different “disciplinary tribes” – present knowledge claims, drawing on taken-for-granted disciplinary ideologies and epistemologies. However, this research has mainly focused on specialist to specialist communication rather than specialist to non-specialist communication. This article aims to fill this gap by examining a corpus of mainstream media “expert opinion articles”, written by experts for members of the public, on the topic of the COVID-19 crisis and published in The Guardian and The New York Times. The corpus included articles by experts in Medical Science, Medical Practice, Science, Humanities and Social Sciences, Law, and Economics. Using corpus-based discourse analysis, we consider the effect of discipline on the way that experts present and evidence knowledge claims. We compare the kinds of experts, their content focus, and forms of evidentiality seen in verbal evidentials used in the articles. The analysis identifies four discourse strategies: (1) deriving knowledge from experience; (2) invoking the knowledge of the expert community; (3) invoking vernacular knowledge; and (4) raising claims in argument or critique. Differences in disciplinary epistemologies lead to systematic differences in presenting and evidencing knowledge claims, even in texts primarily intended for a wide public audience.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a relapsing inflammatory skin condition that has become a global health issue with complex etiology and mounting prevalence. The association of AD with skin and gut microbiota has been revealed by virtue of the continuous development of sequencing technology and genomics analysis. Also, the gut–brain–skin axis and its mutual crosstalk mechanisms have been gradually verified. Accordingly, the microbiota–skin–gut axis also plays an important role in allergic skin inflammation. Herein, we reviewed the relationship between the microbiota–skin–gut axis and AD, explored the underlying signaling molecules and potential pathways, and focused on the potential mechanisms of probiotics, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), coagulase-negative staphylococci transplantation, fecal microbiota transplantation, AMPs, and addition of essential fatty acids in alleviating AD, with the aim to provide a new perspective for targeting microbiota in the treatment of allergic skin inflammation.

statistic in ArcGIS Pro software. Trends in traffic accidents were analysed using the Mann-Kendall (MK) statistic. A certain trend in the number of traffic accidents, fatalities, and injuries was detected in 15 out of 45 municipalities. In two municipalities, the trend in the number of traffic accidents is decreasing, while in seven, it is increasing. In three municipalities, a decreasing trend in the number of traffic fatalities was observed. A decreasing trend in traffic injuries was identified in five municipalities. Hotspot analysis on the number of traffic accidents and traffic injuries revealed hotspots in seven municipalities, while no hotspots were detected in the number of traffic fatalities. In the traffic casualties weighted number, persons in tractors, hotspots were identified in two municipalities. This research has the potential to enhance traffic safety by directing targeted safety measures towards identified hotspots. Such measures could ultimately lead to a reduction in traffic accidents, consequently curbing the number of both fatalities and injuries.
Chinese Constitutonal Performance Unveiled: Text Mining Insights in Civil Litigations
Authors: Shui Bing 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This article presents a comprehensive examination of the role of constitutions in private disputes, with a specific focus on the Chinese Constitution. Utilizing an extensive dataset of digitized court adjudications, this study delves into a relatively unexplored area, yielding crucial factual and legal insights. The research reveals that the Chinese Constitution significantly influences civil adjudications, both implicitly and explicitly. Furthermore, court judgments emerge as pivotal forces shaping public awareness of constitutional principles. These findings hold profound implications for comprehending the role of constitutions in contexts beyond democratic frameworks, particularly within the private sphere. The study underscores how the capitalist market in China empowers individuals to assert and safeguard private rights, consequently affording the Constitution a protective role in this realm. Concurrently, the existing regime has systematically eroded the Constitution’s influence in public affairs, maintaining its symbolic and rhetorical role. Notably, the concept of judicial independence remains a sensitive subject in China, leading many civil courts to eschew constitutional provisions in favor of political expediency. This paradox underscores the necessity of establishing a reasonably independent judiciary as an integral facet of constitutionalism in such settings. In sum, this research challenges prevailing assumptions about constitutionalism’s contours. It transcends the conventional focus on political authority, illustrating how empirical investigations into constitutional performance within civil litigation can illuminate the emergence of constitutionalism in the shadows of non-democratic systems. These findings offer valuable insights into the role of constitutions in private disputes and pave the way for further exploration within this evolving scholarly domain. Ultimately, this study advances our comprehension of constitutional realities and their far-reaching impacts on the legal landscape and society within contemporary China.
Cognitive state detection with eye tracking in the field: an experience sampling study and its lessons learned
Authors: Langner Moritz , Toreini Peyman , Maedche Alexander 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
In the future, cognitive activity will be tracked in the same way how physical activity is tracked today. Eye-tracking technology is a promising off-body technology that provides access to relevant data for cognitive activity tracking. For building cognitive state models, continuous and longitudinal collection of eye-tracking and self-reported cognitive state label data is critical. In a field study with 11 students, we use experience sampling and our data collection system esmLoop to collect both cognitive state labels and eye-tracking data. We report descriptive results of the field study and develop supervised machine learning models for the detection of two eye-based cognitive states: cognitive load and flow. In addition, we articulate the lessons learned encountered during data collection and cognitive state model development to address the challenges of building generalizable and robust user models in the future. With this study, we contribute knowledge to bring eye-based cognitive state detection closer to real-world applications.

Authors: Jenkinson Allan , Krishnan Mirna , Davenport Mark , Harris Christopher , Dassios Theodore , Greenough Anne 
Published: April 2024

Abstract

Objectives
Infants with anterior abdominal wall defects (AWD) can suffer from pulmonary complications. Our aims were to determine if the chest radiographic thoracic areas (CRTAs) on day one differed between infants with exomphalos or gastroschisis, whether this related to differing severity of outcomes and if they were lower than those of controls indicating abnormal antenatal lung growth.

Methods
A review of infants with exomphalos or gastroschisis born between January 2004 and January 2023 was conducted. The control group was term, newborn infants ventilated for poor respiratory drive at birth. Chest radiographs on day one were analysed and the highest CRTA in the first 24 h after birth for each infant included in the analysis.

Results
The 127 infants with gastroschisis had a lower gestational age and birthweight than the 62 exomphalos infants and 130 controls (all p<0.001) The CRTAs of the controls were greater than the CRTAs of the exomphalos and the gastroschisis infants (p = 0.001). The median CRTA corrected for birthweight was lower in the exomphalos infants [688, IQR 568-875 mm2/kg] than the gastroschisis infants [813, IQE 695-915 mm2/kg] No gastroschisis infant developed bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). A CRTA of 1759 mm2 had a sensitivity of 81 % and specificity of 71 % in predicting BPD in infants with exomphalos.

Conclusions
Infants with gastroschisis or exomphalos had lower CRTAs than controls suggesting both groups had abnormal antenatal lung development. The CRTA was lower in the exomphalos infants who also had worse respiratory outcomes, hence CRTA assessment may a useful prognostic aid.
Diachronic evolution of the subordinator kak in Russian
Authors: Serdobolskaya Natalia , Kobozeva Irina 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
In Russian, the subordinator kak ‘how’ is both a manner question word and an eventive complementizer. The Russian linguistic tradition explains the colexification of the two functions in terms of a semantic shift from manner as characteristic of a situation to event description as a whole. Alternatively, a grammaticalization scenario from manner complements to event/propositional complements has been suggested: manner complements originally have a propositional frame, which is foregrounded concurrently with the loss of the manner meaning, giving rise to both eventive and propositional interpretations. This article is aimed at testing both hypotheses. We study several large Old Russian manuscripts, starting from the first available documents of the 11th century, and show that at the earliest documented period Old Russian kako/kakъ could be used in all types of complement clauses. It could introduce eventive, propositional, manner and irrealis purposive-like complements. Accordingly, the evolution of the subordinator kak in complementation involves a narrowing of its functional domain. We classify Old Russian texts based on the period and trace the gradual loss of particular functions during the centuries. Thus, we show that the Russian data supports the second grammaticalization scenario.
Presence of the crab-eating fox Cerdocyon thous in La Rioja, Argentina, and implications for its geographic and environmental niche modeling
Authors: Fariñas Torres Thamara , Schiaffini Mauro , Cirignoli Sebastian , Chemisquy María Amelia 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The crab-eating fox Cerdocyon thous is one of South America’s most common species of canids; its generalist habits and plasticity allowed the species to adapt to numerous habitats and human presence. In 2020, we registered a specimen of C. thous on a trap camera placed in the vicinity of the Huaco River in La Rioja Province, Argentina. This record was the starting point for evaluating past and present environmental niche models (ENMs) of the species throughout their entire distribution in South America. ENMs models suggest that the presence of C. thous in La Rioja has low suitability values and suggest that we may be facing a sink population scenario due to the low frequency of records in the province. Also, the model indicated that the parameters delimiting the areas with the highest suitability values are related to temperature, isothermality, and precipitation. Long-term studies in the region are needed to determine the population dynamics of C. thous in La Rioja.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
We provide a simple method that enables readily acquired experimental data to be used to predict whether or not a candidate molecular material may exhibit strong coupling. Specifically, we explore the relationship between the hybrid molecular/photonic (polaritonic) states and the bulk optical response of the molecular material. For a given material, this approach enables a prediction of the maximum extent of strong coupling (vacuum Rabi splitting), irrespective of the nature of the confined light field. We provide formulae for the upper limit of the splitting in terms of the molar absorption coefficient, the attenuation coefficient, the extinction coefficient (imaginary part of the refractive index) and the absorbance. To illustrate this approach, we provide a number of examples, and we also discuss some of the limitations of our approach.
Inverse design of compact silicon photonic waveguide reflectors and their application for Fabry–Perot resonators
Authors: Kim Yonghan , Hong Sung-Hoon 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Silicon photonic waveguide resonators, such as microring resonators, photonic crystal waveguide cavities, and Fabry–Perot resonators based on the distributed Bragg reflectors, are key device components for silicon-based photonic integrated circuits (Si-PIC). For the Si-PIC with high integration density, the device footprints of the conventional photonic waveguide resonators need to be more compact. Inverse design, which is operated by the design expectation and different from the conventional design methods, has been investigated for reducing the photonic device components nowadays. In this paper, we inversely designed the silicon photonic waveguide reflectors for two target wavelengths: one is 1310 nm and the other is 1550 nm. The silicon photonic waveguide reflectors have reflectance of 0.99993 and 0.9955 for the wavelength of 1310 nm and 1550 nm each with 5-μm-long reflectors. Also, we theoretically investigated Fabry–Perot resonators based on the inversely designed photonic waveguide reflectors. Q factors of the Fabry–Perot resonators have been calculated to be 1.3 × 105 for the wavelength of 1310 nm and 2583 for the wavelength of 1550 nm. We have expected that the inversely designed photonic waveguide reflectors and their applications for the Fabry–Perot resonators can be utilized for compact passive/active device components such as wavelength filters, modulators, and external cavity lasers.
A syntactic analysis of <no + event deverbal nominalization> in Spanish
Authors: Ros García Laura 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This paper addresses how the negative particle no interacts with Spanish deverbal nominalizations that denote an event. Firstly, it is pointed out that, when preceded by negation, these nominalizations only give rise to the inhibited eventuality reading, contrary to what happens with verbs, which give rise to both the inhibited eventuality reading and the negated eventuality reading. Secondly, it is shown that, when these nominalizations co-occur with no, their lexical aspect is modified, as they share properties with events, but with states as well. Thirdly, a proposal of analysis for <no + event deverbal nominalization> is presented. We claim that both the interpretation and lexical aspect of this construction follow from the interaction of negation with the syntactic configuration of the nominalization and, specifically, with the projection responsible for the triggering of the eventuality.
On the validity of the exchange principle in rotatory electrothermoconvection
Authors: Kumari Chitresh , Kumar Jitender , Prakash Jyoti 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The electrothermoconvection in a rotating dielectric fluid layer heated from below (or above) is studied analytically using linear stability theory. First, we derive the necessary conditions for oscillatory motion when the fluid layer is heated from below and from above. Then as a consequence, sufficient conditions for the validity of the exchange principle are derived for the two configurations in terms of the parameters of the systems alone. The results hold for free boundaries for all wave numbers and for rigid boundaries with some restrictions. Further, the results for electrothermoconvection without rotation, rotatory Rayleigh–Bénard convection and Rayleigh–Bénard convection are also obtained as special cases which validate the existing results. To the best of author’s knowledge such results are not reported in the literature as far as the domain of electrothermoconvection studies is concerned.
