Changing Occupations or Changing Companies—Predictors of Different Types of Premature Contract Terminations in Dual Vocational Education and Training Programs
Authors: Findeisen Stefanie , Ramseier Lukas , Neuenschwander Markus P. 
Published: October 2023

AbstractIn Switzerland, access to non-academic occupations requires the completion of a vocational education and training (VET) program. Over two-thirds of adolescents choose to start a dual VET program after compulsory education. However, this path from school to work is not always linear, and changes can be a means of adjusting wrong career choices. In the context of dual VET, two types of adjustments that occur frequently can be distinguished: (1) change of occupations and (2) change of companies. The present study aims to examine the predictors of each of those two types of changes. First, we are interested in the link between individuals’ intentions to change their career paths and actual changes. When changes are intended by the trainee and aimed at correcting wrong career choices, actual changes can generally be expected to be predicted by change intentions. Second, we are interested in the role of person-job fit (P-J fit) as well as trainees’ socialization and performance indicators. Third, we examine to what extent trainees’ decisions to change occupations or companies can be predicted by pre-entry factors (perceived P-J fit and effort during compulsory education before the transition to VET). We used a longitudinal sample of adolescents at the end of compulsory school and at the end of their first year in a dual VET program in Switzerland. This data set is combined with government data on actual changes regarding individuals’ training companies and their occupations. The two types of adjustments were examined in separate structural equation models that compared trainees without any types of adjustments during their training program (1) to those who changed occupations (N = 417) and (2) to those who changed training companies (N = 378). The results show that actual occupational changes and actual company changes of trainees are affected by the same work-context predictors (negative effect of trainees’ self-perceived work performance) and pre-entry predictors (negative effect of effort during compulsory education). However, in contrast to changes of training companies, changes of occupations are significantly predicted by trainees’ intentions to change. Moreover, while P-J fit during the VET program is the only direct predictor of trainees’ intentions to change occupations, intentions to change companies are not significantly predicted by P-J fit. Intentions to change companies are negatively affected by companies’ socialization tactics and positively affected by adolescents’ pre-entry effort. Overall, the results call for a more differentiated assessment of changes/ premature contract terminations in future studies. Whether change intentions are a valid proxy for actual change behavior seems to depend on the type of changes that trainees decide to make.

Abstract
Purpose
The use of internet for health-related purposes has increased in the past years; however, the overabundance of information led the world to a health “infodemic”. Little is known about the ways public health users seek health information online and how it influences the relationship between patients and healthcare practitioners. We aimed to investigate how public health users seek health information online and how this practice affects health encounters.

Methods
We conducted a qualitative study in a public secondary level healthcare facility. Thirty participants were interviewed using a semi-structured grid designed upon the definition of digital health literacy. Participants were mostly women with an average age of 50 years old and educational level equal to or lower than high school degree. Traditionally and digitally illiterate participants participated in the study. Data analysis was performed using a reflexive thematic analysis underpinned by critical theory.

Results
We identified three interrelated themes: (1) failing to be a digitally engaged patient, (2) health information on the internet resonates better with individuals’ literacy, and (3) vulnerability is welcomed on the internet. Themes explored power dynamics that appeared to be mediated by formal knowledge, sociocultural contexts, use of technical language, and the presence of emotional and affective domains.

Conclusion
Our findings suggest that health information online might facilitate the understanding of technical terms and fill an emotional gap often overlooked by healthcare practitioners. Findings may assist health professionals in developing ways of considering health information online as part of the health encounter.

AbstractWounds are usually accompanied by complications such as excessive bleeding and bacteria invasion. The design of wound dressings that rapidly stop excessive bleeding and inhibit bacterial invasion, is crucial to promoting accelerated wound healing. To meet the abovementioned requirements in wound dressings, topical gels were prepared from sodium alginate (SA) and carbopol. The wound dressings were loaded with an antifibrinolytic agent, tranexamic acid, and a variety of metal-based nanoparticles. The prepared topical gels displayed significant antibacterial efficacy against Gram-negative bacteria and moderate activity against Gram-positive bacterial strains. These gels exhibited good spreadability and viscosity, signifying suitability for skin application, and ease of application. Moreover, the prepared gels showed good cytocompatibility, promoted cell proliferation, and exhibited > 85% wound closure on day 3 compared to the untreated which showed a 38% wound reduction in vitro. Excellent blood clotting absorbance values were observed for the gels compared to the control, showing that they can promote blood clotting. Features presented by the prepared gels reveal that they are promising wound dressings for treating bleeding and infected wounds.

Published: October 2023

AbstractFire stations (FS) are typically non-uniformly distributed across space, and their service area is, in general, defined based on administrative boundaries. Since the location of FS may considerably influence the readiness and the effectiveness of the provided services, national and regional governments need research-based information to adequately plan where to establish firefighting facilities. In this study, we propose a method to reconfigure the fire stations layout using spatial point process models, clustering and space partitioning. First, modelling fire intensity variation across space through a point process model enables to replicate the process independently by simulation. Subsequently, for each simulation, thek-means algorithm is used to define a siting location, minimizing the total within distance between the fire occurrences and the new position. This method allows to obtain a set of locations from which the respective distribution is inferred. Assuming a bivariate normal spatial distribution, we further define confidence siting regions. Ultimately, new FS service areas are defined by Voronoi tessellation. To exemplify the application of the method, we apply it to reconfigure the fire station layout at Aveiro, Portugal.
Incorporating Multiple Textual Factors into Unbalanced Financial Distress Prediction: A Feature Selection Methods and Ensemble Classifiers Combined Approach
Authors: Li Shixuan , Shi Wenxuan 
Published: October 2023

AbstractTextual-based factors have been widely regarded as a promising feature that can be applied to financial issues. This study focuses on extracting both basic and semantic textual features to supplement the traditionally used financial indicators. The main is to improve Chinese listed companies’ financial distress prediction (FDP). A unique paradigm is proposed in this study that combines financial and multi-type textual predictive factors, feature selection methods, classifiers, and time spans to achieve the optimal FDP. The frequency counts, TF-IDF, TextRank, and word embedding approaches are employed to extract frequency count-based, keyword-based, sentiment, and readability indicators. The experimental results prove that financial domain sentiment lexicons, word embedding-based readability analysis approaches, and the basic textual features of Management Discussion and Analysis can be important elements of FDP. Moreover, the finding highlights the fact that incorporating financial and textual features can achieve optimal performance 4 or 5 years before the expected baseline year; applying the RF-GBDT combined model can also outperform other classifiers. This study makes an innovative contribution, since it expands the multiple text analysis method in the financial text mining field and provides new findings on how to provide early warning signs related to financial risk. The approaches developed in this research can serve as a template that can be used to resolve other financial issues.
Take up

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Why are take up rates incomplete or low when the relevant opportunities are unambiguously advantageous to people who are eligible for them? How can public officials promote higher take up of opportunities? All over the world, these are challenges of the first order. There are three primary barriers to take up: learning costs, compliance costs, and psychological costs. These costs lower the net expected benefit of opportunities, and reduce participation in otherwise advantageous programs. Fully rational agents would consider these costs in their take up decisions, and in light of behavioral biases, such costs loom especially large and may seem prohibitive. Experimental and other evidence suggest methods for reducing the barriers to take up and the effects of behavioral biases. Use of such methods has the potential to significantly increase access to a wide range of opportunities that would increase individual well-being and social welfare.

AbstractObjective:We investigated gender differences in psychosocial determinants that affect hand hygiene (HH) performance among physicians.Design:The survey included a structured questionnaire with 7 parts: self-assessment of HH execution rate; knowledge, attitude, and behavior regarding HH; internal and emotional motivation for better HH; barriers to HH; need for external reminders; preference for alcohol gel; and embarrassment due to supervision.Setting:The study was conducted across 4 academic referral hospitals in Korea.Participants:Physicians who worked at these hospitals were surveyed.Methods:The survey questionnaire was sent to 994 physicians of the hospitals in July 2018 via email or paper. Differences in psychosocial determinants of HH among physicians were analyzed by gender using an independent t test or the Fisher exact test.Results:Of the 994 physicians, 201 (20.2%) responded to the survey. Among them, 129 (63.5%) were men. Male physicians identified 4 barriers as significant: time wasted on HH (P = .034); HH is not a habit (P = .004); often forgetting about HH situations (P = .002); and no disadvantage when I do not perform HH (P = .005). Female physicians identified pain and dryness of the hands as a significant obstacle (P = .010), and they had a higher tendency to feel uncomfortable when a fellow employee performed inadequate HH (P = .098). Among the respondents, 26.6% identified diversifying the types of hand sanitizers as their first choice for overcoming barriers to improving HH, followed by providing reminders (15.6%) and soap and paper towels in each hospital room (13.0%).Conclusion:A significant difference in the barriers to HH existed between male and female physicians. Promoting HH activities could help increase HH compliance.
Is Data Science Transforming Biomedical Research? Evidence, Expertise, and Experiments in COVID-19 Science
Authors: Leonelli Sabina 
Published: October 2023

AbstractBiomedical deployments of data science capitalize on vast, heterogeneous data sources. This promotes a diversified understanding of what counts as evidence for health-related interventions, beyond the strictures associated with evidence-based medicine. Focusing on COVID-19 transmission and prevention research, I consider the epistemic implications of this diversification of evidence in relation to (1) experimental design, especially the revival of natural experiments as sources of reliable epidemiological knowledge; and (2) modeling practices, particularly the recognition of transdisciplinary expertise as crucial to developing and interpreting data models. Acknowledging such shifts in evidential, experimental, and modeling practices helps avoid harmful applications of data-intensive methods.
Little puritans?
Authors: Starmans Christina 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
I propose that young children may be a useful test case for Fitouchi et al.'s theory that certain seemingly harmless acts are moralized because they are seen as risk factors for future poor cooperation. The theory predicts that prior to the development of certain folk-psychological beliefs about self-control, children should be untroubled by violations of puritanical morality, and that an adult-like folk psychology of self-control should develop in tandem with disapproval of such violations.
Moral disciplining provides a satisfying explanation for Chinese lay concepts of immorality
Authors: Buchtel Emma E. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In our research on lay prototypes of immorality, we found that Chinese consider immoral behaviors to be more about showing coarse character, rather than being violent and harmful (called criminal behaviors). The target article provides a satisfying rationale for why this Chinese immorality concept, which has many similarities to the puritanical morality described here, is connected to the morality of cooperation.
Puritanism needs purity, and moral psychology needs pluralism
Authors: Graham Jesse , Atari Mohammad , Dehghani Morteza , Haidt Jonathan 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This account of puritanical morality is useful and innovative, but makes two errors. First, it mischaracterizes the purity foundation as being unrelated to cooperation. Second, it makes the leap from cooperation (broadly construed) to a monist account of moral cognition (as harm or fairness). We show how this leap is both conceptually incoherent and inconsistent with empirical evidence about self-control moralization.
‘I almost felt like I can be a little bit more honest’: experiences of a telehealth group for bipolar disorder

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Despite the increasing use of telehealth platforms to deliver cognitive behavioural group therapy programs, few studies have been conducted that explore the experience of using telehealth platforms for those living with bipolar disorder. The present study aimed to explore the impact of the telehealth platform on the delivery of a recovery-orientated well-being plan group program for participants living with bipolar disorder. A total of 19 participants completed the qualitative interviews (3 male, 16 female). Using content analysis, data were deductively coded in line with pre-existing codes and matrix categories with unexpected data that discussed the telehealth experience being coded using an inductive content analysis framework. Two themes were identified: (1) Social inclusion, which included the subthemes of (a) connection to others via telehealth and (b) feeling safe using telehealth; and (2) Barriers and engagement, which included the subthemes of (a) removing barriers by using telehealth and (b) symptom impacts to engagement using the telehealth platform. Participants reported increased connection with others using telehealth and feeling greater safety overall when using the telehealth platform; however, some noted that dominant personalities could contribute to feeling unsafe within the group at times. Overall, the platform reduced barriers and was easy to use with this being a convenient way to attend, even if in some instances the platform highlighted differences between the members.

Key learning aims

(1)
Telehealth platforms provide a unique opportunity for connection for those living with bipolar disorder.

(2)
Telehealth platforms may increase feelings of personal safety but may also increase feelings of difference between group members.

(3)
Symptoms may impact on engagement with anxiety and mood symptoms playing a role; however, telehealth may also decrease barriers to engagement.

AbstractIntermediate wheatgrass (IWG) is a cool-season perennial grass developed as a dual-purpose grain and forage crop. One barrier to adopting this crop is a lack of information on the effects of herbicides on IWG for grain production. An experiment was conducted to evaluate herbicide effects on IWG grain yield, crop injury, and weed control over 2 yr (2019 to 2021) at sites in Wisconsin, Minnesota, New York, and North Dakota. This evaluation included broadleaf herbicides registered for use on wheat: 2,4-D amine, clopyralid, MCPA, and a mixture of clopyralid + MCPA (all are categorized as Group 4 herbicides by the Weed Science Society of America). Each herbicide or mixture was applied at 1× and 2× the labeled wheat application rate to newly planted and established (1- to 5-yr-old) IWG stands in the fall or spring. Herbicides were applied during IWG tillering or jointing stages in the fall or during the jointing stage in the spring. Across site years, application timing, herbicide, and application rate showed no effect on IWG grain yield or plant injury. Broadleaf weed control ranged from 71% to 92% across herbicide treatments relative to the nontreated check at the Wisconsin site, whereas weed control at the Minnesota site was variable among treatments. At the New York site, herbicides were equally effective for broadleaf weed suppression, whereas weed pressure was very low at the North Dakota site and treatments did not affect weed cover. The results show that newly planted and established stands of IWG are tolerant to the synthetic auxin herbicides 2,4-D amine, clopyralid, and MCPA when applied during tillering or jointing in the fall or during jointing in the spring. Synthetic auxins represent a potentially useful tool for weed control in IWG cropping systems, especially for problematic broadleaf weed species.
Seismic Reflection Imaging of a Deep‐Penetrating Red River Fault in the Yinggehai Basin, Northwest of the South China Sea

Published: October 2023

AbstractThe Yinggehai Basin (YB) in the northwest of the South China Sea (SCS) has preserved the complete evolution of the Red River Fault (RRF), whose motion over time has largely contributed to shaping the current tectonic framework of the southeastern Tibetan Plateau and Indochina Block. Here we, for the first time, image the RRF, crustal architecture, and crust‐mantle boundary (i.e., Moho) in detail under the YB from two high‐resolution 40‐km‐depth seismic reflection pre‐stack migration profiles. Our seismic reflection images provide direct seismic evidence to support a deep‐penetrating RRF, most likely crosscutting the Moho. In this sense, the RRF was a large‐scale shear zone, along with the clockwise rotation of the Indochina Block, to accommodate the Indochina Block extrusion during Oligocene‐early Miocene and form the YB. We highlight that the material extrusion along deep‐penetrating faults dominated the Tibetan Plateau deformation in response to the India‐Asia collision at an early stage.

AbstractDetecting and tracking multiple moving objects in a video is a challenging task. For living cells, the task becomes even more arduous as cells change their morphology over time, can partially overlap, and mitosis leads to new cells. Differently from fluorescence microscopy, label-free techniques can be easily applied to almost all cell lines, reducing sample preparation complexity and phototoxicity. In this study, we present ALFI, a dataset of images and annotations for label-free microscopy, made publicly available to the scientific community, that notably extends the current panorama of expertly labeled data for detection and tracking of cultured living nontransformed and cancer human cells. It consists of 29 time-lapse image sequences from HeLa, U2OS, and hTERT RPE-1 cells under different experimental conditions, acquired by differential interference contrast microscopy, for a total of 237.9 hours. It contains various annotations (pixel-wise segmentation masks, object-wise bounding boxes, tracking information). The dataset is useful for testing and comparing methods for identifying interphase and mitotic events and reconstructing their lineage, and for discriminating different cellular phenotypes.
