Empirically Assessing the Effectiveness of the Pathways Programme: An Online Self-Help Intervention for Male Sexual Aggression at UK Universities
Authors: Hales Samuel T. , Rawers Caitlyn , Gannon Theresa A. 
Published: February 2024

AbstractThough contemporary evidence suggests that upwards of one-in-nine UK male university students engage in sexually violent behaviors (Hales and Gannon in Sexual Abuse 34:744–770, 2022), few evidence-based primary prevention strategies have been developed to prevent their perpetration. To help contribute to this evidence gap, this study evaluated the short and longer-term effectiveness of a novel psychoeducation-based online self-help intervention for university male sexual aggression called The Pathways Programme. Designed around current empirical understanding of university-based sexual harm in the UK, the program contains six modules that correspond with known risk factors for perpetration. Data were collected as part of a randomized control trial from 254 self-identified heterosexual male students enrolled at a UK university who reported a proclivity towards sexual aggression. Results showed that participants who took part in the program displayed moderate reductions in their self-perceived likelihood of sexual aggression (our primary treatment target) across testing points, as well as reductions in their self-reported levels of hostility towards women, rape myth acceptance, and problematic sexual fantasies (our secondary treatment targets). Control participants also displayed reductions in some domains over time, albeit to a lesser degree. Additional analyses probed the factors associated with participant drop-out, clinical and reliable change, and user feedback. Overall, our study provides preliminary evidence for the efficacy of The Pathways Programme at reducing UK university males’ risk of sexual aggression; however, we caution readers that more robust evaluation is necessary to support intervention rollout. We discuss our findings alongside the limitations of our study and provide suggestions for future research.
Unveiling competence in the classroom: A multidimensional assessment of computer science teachers’ self-efficacy in coding education
Authors: Sat Mustafa , Kadirhan Zafer 
Published: February 2024

AbstractThe significance of teachers’ self-efficacy in coding education within K-12 settings has grown substantially. However, the literature lacks subject-specific measurement tools tailored to assess teachers’ self-efficacy in coding instruction. This study adopted a mixed methods approach to develop a reliable and valid instrument for measuring computer science (CS) teachers’ self-efficacy in teaching coding. The scale development involved a rigorous process encompassing item generation, expert validation, and pilot testing. Importantly, this process unfolded in seven steps with two distinct phases, and each phase involved independent sample groups. Subsequently, a comprehensive survey was administered to two samples of CS teachers (n = 318, n = 295) to assess the scale’s psychometric properties. The results revealed robust internal consistency and construct validity of the 20-item Coding Teaching Self-Efficacy Scale (CTSES) with four intercorrelated dimensions: student motivation, subject knowledge, classroom management, and material development. Furthermore, additional analyses revealed the significant impact of teaching experience and self-reported coding knowledge level on teachers’ self-efficacy in teaching coding. The implications of this study hold significance for both practitioners and researchers to understand teachers’ self-efficacy in teaching coding and to explore its relation to teacher training, curriculum development, and the broader advancement of coding education within school settings.

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Purpose
Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is associated with an increased prevalence of open-angle glaucoma, attributed to variations of the pressure gradient between intraocular and intracranial compartments at the level of the lamina cribrosa (LC). As ocular biomechanics influence the behavior of the LC, and a lower corneal hysteresis (CH) has been associated to a higher risk of glaucomatous optic nerve damage, in this study we compared ocular biomechanics of iNPH patients with healthy subjects.

Methods
Twenty-four eyes of 24 non-shunted iNPH patients were prospectively recruited. Ocular biomechanical properties were investigated using the ocular response analyzer (Reichert Instruments) for the calculation of the CH, corneal resistance factor (CRF), Goldmann-correlated intraocular pressure (IOPg), and corneal-compensated intraocular pressure (IOPcc). Results were compared with those of 25 eyes of 25 healthy subjects.

Results
In iNPH eyes, the median CH value and interquartile range (IQR) were 9.7 mmHg (7.8–10) and 10.6 mmHg (9.3–11.3) in healthy controls (p = 0.015). No significant differences were found in IOPcc [18.1 mmHg (14.72–19.92) vs. 16.4 mmHg (13.05–19.6)], IOPg [15.4 mmHg (12.82–19.7) vs. 15.3 mmHg (12.55–17.35)], and CRF [9.65 mmHg (8.07–11.65) vs. 10.3 mmHg (9.3–11.5)] between iNPH patients and controls.

Conclusions
In iNPH patients, the CH was significantly lower compared to healthy subjects. This result suggests that ocular biomechanical properties may potentially contribute to the risk of development of glaucomatous optic nerve damage in iNPH patients.
The effects of self-video feedback on the eyedrop instillation techniques of glaucoma patients: a prospective randomized controlled trial
Authors: Lee Tae-Eun , Cho Youngri , Yoo Hyo Hyun 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Background
To evaluate the effectiveness of instillation technique education using self-video feedback in glaucoma patients.

Methods
Sixty-two patients who self-instilled glaucoma eyedrops were randomly assigned to the self-video feedback and control groups according to the block randomization. Each group of the patient was asked to instill eyedrops, and videos were recorded. For the control group, only an educational video was provided. In the self-video feedback group, the patients provided educational video and feedback using a recorded video of their own instillation. After 1 month of education, the patient's instillation techniques were video-recorded again. We divided the steps of instilling eyedrops into ten steps and evaluated whether each step was properly performed using the recorded images from each patient. The main outcome was the proportion of patients who properly instilled their eyedrops in each step.

Results
Before education, there was no significant difference in the proportion of patients who were properly instilled between the two groups. In the group that received video feedback, the proportion of patients who instilled the eyedrops correctly after education in some items was significantly higher than that of the control group, and in particular, the educational effect of 'avoids touching dropper to eyelid or eyelash' was superior.

Conclusions
In patients with glaucoma, education on the method of instillation was effective in improving the techniques of instillation. In the items that required accurate actions, the video feedback that allowed the patient to observe themselves had a better improvement effect compared to the traditional education method.

Applications of two kinds of Kudryashov methods for time fractional (2 + 1) dimensional Chaffee–Infante equation and its stability analysis
Authors: Tetik Duygu , Akbulut Arzu , Çelik Nisa 
Published: February 2024

AbstractIn this study, the beta time fractional (2 + 1) dimensional Chaffee–Infante equation used to describe the behavior of gas diffusion in a homogeneous medium is discussed. Generalized Kudryashov and modified Kudryashov procedures were used to discovered solitons of the equation. These methods can be easily applied and offer different solutions checked to other methods in the literature. At the same time, these two methods use symbolic calculations to better understand various nonlinear wave models and offer a powerful and effective mathematical approach. The solutions created in this article are different from those in the literature and will guide those working in the field of physics and engineering to better understand this model. Figures of the results were made values different from each other. The stability of the equations in applications has been demonstrated by testing the stability feature on some solutions obtained using the features of the Hamilton system. This work demonstrates the power and effectiveness of the methods discussed in applying many different forms of fractional-order nonlinear equations. The results obtained in this paper are original to our research and have the potential to be helpful in the fields of mathematical engineering and physics.
Similarities and Differences Between Study Addiction and Study Engagement and Work Addiction and Work Engagement: A Network Analysis

Published: February 2024

AbstractThis study aimed to investigate the relationships between symptoms of study addiction and their relationships with dimensions of study engagement. We used two samples in which study addiction was measured with the Bergen Study Addiction Scale and study engagement was measured with the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale for Students. The samples comprised Norwegian (n = 1107) and Polish (n = 776) students. The networks featured three clusters of nodes (two clusters of the study addiction symptoms and one cluster of the study engagement dimensions). Study addiction clusters were connected with study engagement cluster through positive edges between absorption and study addiction symptoms, negative edges which vigor shared with conflict and problems, and negative edge between dedication and mood modification. Among the symptoms of study addiction, problems, conflict, and withdrawal were the most central and salience, tolerance, and mood modification were the least central. Moreover, conflict was the most predictable and relapse was the least predictable symptom of study addiction. The results from the present study are similar to those of previous studies on work addiction and support the notion that study addiction may be a precursor to work addiction. Although based on cross-sectional data, the nuanced differences between work addiction and study addiction networks are discussed as they lay a foundation for further investigation of the potential differences in transition mechanisms from healthy engagement to compulsive behavior.

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Purpose
To describe a Delphi consensus for the realization of a structured radiology request form for patients undergoing musculoskeletal imaging.

Methods
A steering committee (four radiologists, a rheumatologist and an orthopedic surgeon) proposed a form to an expert panel (30 members, ten radiologists, ten rheumatologists and ten orthopedic surgeons). Through an online survey, the panelists voted on their level of agreement with the statements of the form using a 10-point Likert scale (1: no agreement; 10: total agreement) in a three-round process. A combination of two distinct criteria, a mean agreement level ≥ 8 and a percentage of at least 75% of responses with a value ≥ 8, was deemed as acceptable.

Results
The form achieved high median ratings in all the assessed key features. During the first round, all items met the threshold to be advanced as unmodified in the next round. Additional proposed items were considered and introduced in the next round (six items in Section 1, five items in Section 2, ten items in Section 3, 11 items in Section 4, six items in Section 5, eight items in Section 6, ten items in Section 7 and eight items in Section 8). Of these items, in round 3, only six reached the threshold to be integrated into the final form.

Conclusions
Implementation of a structured radiology request form can improve appropriateness and collaboration between clinicians and radiologists in musculoskeletal imaging.

Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis Secondary to Streptococcus Constellatus Pharynges
Authors: Jaramillo-Ángel Natalia , Saro-Buendía Miguel , Carreres Polo Joan , Mellidez Acosta Raul , Alamar Velázquez Agustín , Carceller Miguel Armengot 
Published: February 2024

AbstractStreptococcus constellatus pharyngis is a gram-positive commensal bacterium commonly found in the oropharynx, gastrointestinal and urogenital tracts. It might be an aggressive opportunistic pathogen causing invasive pyogenic infections in sterile areas, mostly as peritonsillar and orofacial abscesses. We report the case of a 6-year-old girl, who presented multiple head and neck abscesses and bilateral cavernous sinus thrombosis secondary to Streptococcus constellatus pharyngis. Cavernous sinus thrombosis, consequent to this microorganism, has not been reported to date in the literature. Due to the invasive features of this pathogen, a long-term antibiotherapy (up to 9 months) is required. Additionally, a surgical drainage is indicated in case of head and neck, or brain abscesses, larger than 20 or 25 mm respectively. Anticoagulation should be considered in case of venous thrombosis. The interest of this case is not only based on the rarity and severity of the disease, but also on the success of medical and surgical therapy (including long- term antibiotics, anticoagulation and two surgical procedures). This experience may serve as a guide to treat future cases.

Authors: Bell Diana 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Background
Poorly differentiated sinonasal small round cell tumors (SRCTs) are rare and heterogeneous, posing challenges in diagnosis and treatment.

Methods
Recent advances in molecular findings and diagnostic refinement have promoted better understanding and management of these tumors.

Results
The newly defined and emerging sinonasal entities demonstrate diverse morphologies, specific genomic signatures, and clinical behavior from conventional counterparts. In this review of SRCTs, emphasis is placed on the diagnostic approach with the employment of a pertinent panel of immunohistochemistry studies and/or molecular tests, fine-tuned to the latest WHO 5 classification of sinonasal/paranasal tumors and personalized treatment.

Conclusion
Specifically, this review focuses on tumors with epithelial and neuroectodermal derivation.
Exotic species in the Erbario Estense: new plants from the world to sixteenth-century Italy
Authors: Vicentini Chiara Beatrice , Buldrini Fabrizio , Romagnoli Carlo , Bosi Giovanna 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Renaissance herbaria may provide precious information on exotic plants known or even introduced in Italy during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries AD. In the Erbario Estense, preserved in the Archivio di Stato di Modena (northern Italy), there are 14 species considered as allochthonous neophytes or not present in the Italian flora. First, we accurately verified the taxa identification; then, we searched for the same species in the other coeval Italian Renaissance herbaria and collected the information present in the written sources of the second half of the 1500s (concerning, above all, the use of these species as medicinal plants); finally, we paid attention to their current uses in ethnobotanical tradition and their market value. For 12 taxa, we could confirm the former identification; whereas for 2, we came to a different conclusion; the comparison with other Renaissance herbaria, particularly Aldrovandi’s, greatly helped this evaluation process. The species treated here are not placed according to a precise order nor do they have particular medicinal values in common: probably, the specimens were simply added to the existing nucleus, as the species were known or were proven to be rather useful. We shall be able to gain further knowledge when it shall be possible to study all the remaining species. In any case, the Erbario Estense is an important testimony for sixteenth-century botany, that contains some of the most ancient specimens of exotic species that are of common use in large parts of the world today.

Advances in the study of autophagy in breast cancer
Authors: Yu Tang , Rui Liu , Jiumei Zhao , Ziwei Li , Ying Hu 
Published: February 2024

AbstractBreast cancer is the most prevalent malignant tumor among women, with a high incidence and mortality rate all year round, which seriously affects women's health. Autophagy, a well-conserved cellular process inherent in eukaryotic organisms, plays a pivotal role in degrading damaged proteins and organelles, recycling their breakdown products to aid cells in navigating stress and gradually restoring homeostatic equilibrium. Recent studies have unveiled the intricate connection between autophagy and breast cancer. Autophagy is a double-edged sword in breast cancer, demonstrating a dual role: restraining its onset and progression on one hand, while promoting its metastasis and advancement on the other. It is also because of this interrelationship between the two that regulation of autophagy in the treatment of breast cancer is now an important strategy in clinical treatment. In this article, we systematically survey the recent research findings, elucidating the multifaceted role of autophagy in breast cancer and its underlying mechanisms, with the aim of contributing new references to the clinical management of breast cancer.
Gerechtigkeit in der Dienstplanung: die Auswirkung auf die Arbeitszufriedenheit in der Pflege und die Sicht der Planungsverantwortlichen
Authors: Hofer Corinne , Schmid Elvira , Renggli Fabienne J. , Golz Christoph 
Published: February 2024

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Die Dienstplanung in der Pflege muss für eine höhere Arbeitszufriedenheit und eine längere Berufsverweildauer optimiert werden. Pflegende wünschen sich dabei mehr Gerechtigkeit. Aus der Perspektive der Planungsverantwortlichen stellt dieser Anspruch eine Herausforderung dar.

Ziele
Die Studie soll den Zusammenhang zwischen der subjektiv wahrgenommenen Gerechtigkeit der Dienstplanung unter Berücksichtigung soziodemografischer Merkmale und der Arbeitszufriedenheit untersuchen. Zudem soll der Umgang mit Gerechtigkeit aus Sicht der Planungsverantwortlichen beschrieben werden.

Methode
Im Rahmen eines parallelen Mixed-Methods-Designs wurden semistrukturierte Leitfadeninterviews mit Planungsverantwortlichen sowie eine Online-Befragung bei Planungsverantwortlichen und Pflegenden durchgeführt. Die Datenintegration erfolgte in der Synthese mittels Metainferenzen.

Ergebnisse
In die Analyse wurden 10 qualitative Einzelinterviews und 256 Fragebogen eingeschlossen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Dienstplanung in Bezug auf die Gerechtigkeit aufgrund der subjektiven Wahrnehmung herausfordernd ist. Weiter wird ersichtlich, dass die subjektiv wahrgenommene Gerechtigkeit einen signifikanten Zusammenhang mit der Arbeitszufriedenheit der Pflegenden und Planungsverantwortlichen aufweist (β = 13,7 95 %-KI [11,6, 15,8]).

Schlussfolgerung
Trotz der Bemühungen der Planungsverantwortlichen um eine ausgleichende Gerechtigkeit ist die Dienstplanung durch Subjektivität geprägt. Es werden optimierte, objektive Ansätze benötigt, um das Gerechtigkeitserleben und die Arbeitszufriedenheit zu verbessern.

Authors: Fittler M. , Fittler A. , Dergez T. , Radácsi A. , Katona K. , Sándor B. , Szántó I. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Purpose
This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge of Hungarian schoolteachers in the management of dental trauma injuries (TDI) of children between the ages of 3 and 18 and to illustrate a brief educational intervention on TDI management.

Methods
A 15-item questionnaire on dental injuries was distributed in our observational cross-sectional study to 2720 Hungarian educational institutions to explore and evaluate teachers’ knowledge in January 2019. Two years later, targeted information material was made accessible regarding TDI management. In the second post-intervention phase of the study, educator knowledge was re-evaluated using the same questionnaire. Statistical analysis (Mann–Whitney and Chi-square tests) was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 28.

Results
A total of 1426 answers were collected in the initial survey. Although more than half (51.9%) of the respondents previously witnessed TDIs, 86.5% still did not perceive themselves as adequately informed regarding TDI management. Most teachers submitted appropriate responses to the indicator questions relating to the urgency of referral to dental professionals (71.8%), immediate contact with parents (79.0%) or dentists (13.0%), and the solution for avulsed teeth (81.3%). However, only every second (56.2%) educator responded correctly regarding the proper cleaning method. Following accessibility to our educational material, 622 respondents completed the post-intervention questionnaire in the second phase of the study. The percentage of appropriate responses to the five indicator questions significantly increased by 5–20.6%.

Conclusion
Teachers’ knowledge of TDI was inadequate yet can improve with online education. Efforts among dental professionals, the media, and targeted interventions will ensure adequate knowledge while also improving children’s dental health.
