Ambiguity in Ethical Standards: Global Versus Local Science in Explaining Academic Plagiarism
Authors: Guba Katerina S. , Tsivinskaya Angelika O. 
Published: February 2024

AbstractThe past decade has seen extensive research carried out on the systematic causes of research misconduct. Simultaneously, less attention has been paid to the variation in academic misconduct between research fields, as most empirical studies focus on one particular discipline. We propose that academic discipline is one of several systematic factors that might contribute to academic misbehavior. Drawing on a neo-institutional approach, we argue that in the developing countries, the norm of textual originality has not drawn equal support across different research fields depending on its level of internationalization. Using plagiarism detection software, we analyzed 2,405 doctoral dissertations randomly selected from all dissertations defended in Russia between 2007 and 2015. We measured the globalization of each academic discipline by calculating the share of publications indexed in the global citation database in relation to overall output. Our results showed that, with an average share of detected borrowings of over 19%, the incidence of plagiarism in Russia is remarkably higher than in Western countries. Overall, disciplines closely follow the pattern of higher globalization associated with a lower percentage of borrowed text. We also found that plagiarism is less prevalent at research-oriented institutions supporting global ethical standards. Our findings suggest that it might be misleading to measure the prevalence of academic misconduct in developing countries without paying attention to variations at the disciplinary level.
Suprasternal approach for insertion of Impella 5.5 into the proximal right subclavian artery
Authors: Patel Jay A. , Hashmi Zubair A. 
Published: February 2024

AbstractThe Impella 5.5 (Abiomed) is a percutaneous, temporary left ventricular assist device (LVAD) that serves as an important method of treatment of acute cardiogenic shock refractory to medical management. The Impella 5.5 and 5.0 are commonly inserted through the right axillary artery; however, this may be limited by inadequate vessel diameter to accommodate the Impella and inadequate vessel quality. A central approach to Impella 5.5 incision has been described in the pediatric population, particularly via the innominate artery through a suprasternal and/or neck incision, with success. As an alternative to axillary Impella placement, we propose the usage of a limited suprasternal incision for Impella 5.5 insertion in the adult population, either through the proximal right subclavian artery or the distal innominate artery. This may offer multiple advantages, such as increased vessel diameter and quality of more proximal vessels, avoidance of partial sternotomy, avoidance of a second infraclavicular wound site if the patient progresses to require LVAD or transplant, avoidance of lymphatic and nerve injury through the axillary exposure, ease of manipulation for repositioning, and patient rehabilitation. Potential limitations include difficulty due to body habitus, potential risk of stroke with the innominate approach, and wound complications. A central approach is a reasonable alternative to axillary Impella placement in patients with inadequate axillary artery caliber, defined as less than 6–7 mm diameter, poor artery quality to accommodate anastomosis, and small body habitus, allowing for ease of exposure.
The effect of mindfulness-based art therapy on psychological symptoms and happiness levels in patients with migraine: a pilot study
Authors: Demir Volkan , Eryürek Selin , Savaş Esra 
Published: February 2024

AbstractThe aim of this study was to examine the impact of the Mindfulness-Based Art Therapy Program on the depression, anxiety and stress symptoms, and happiness of participants. This study is a quasi-experimental research with a pretest-posttest design. The independent variable of the study was the Mindfulness-Based Art Therapy Program, which was applied to the study group between the pretest and posttest. The dependent variables of the study were the depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms and happiness of the individuals included in the study group. The study group consisted of a total of 10 participants (8 females and 2 males) between the ages of 24 and 46, who met the inclusion criteria. The Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale (DASS-21) and the Oxford Happiness Scale Short Form (OHS-SF) were applied to the participants both at the beginning of the study and at the end of 8 weeks. A total of 8 sessions of the Mindfulness-Based Art Therapy Program were applied to the study group. Each session lasted 180 min. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test was used to analyze the data obtained to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. The analyses showed that the Mindfulness-Based Art Therapy Program was effective in reducing the depression and stress symptoms of the participants and increasing their happiness but was not effective in reducing their anxiety symptoms. In conclusion, although positive clinical findings were observed in this pilot study, more studies are needed to confirm these findings about the Mindfulness-Based Art Therapy Program as an alternative treatment method for patients with migraine.
Back to the roots of cause-related marketing – A systematic literature review of cooperation motives
Authors: Stötzer Sandra , Kaltenbrunner Katharina 
Published: February 2024

AbstractBased on a systematic literature review, this paper explores the motives for cooperation between nonprofit organizations (NPO) and companies as profit organizations (PO) in the context of cause-related marketing (CrM) partnerships. CrM is a marketing and fundraising tool which combines the purchase of products with a “good cause” and has already gained significant attention in theory and practice as a widespread practice of corporate social responsibility. However, research often focuses on specific aspects and primarily on the perspective of consumers (i.e., their purchase or support intentions), while only a few studies deal with the motives that NPO and PO pursue with such intersectoral collaboration. Overall, the findings indicate that research on the NPO’s view is particularly limited and that CrM is generally based on a bundle of motives or (both financial and non-financial) goals, with the self-interested perspective of PO appearing to be dominant. The paper suggests several avenues for further research and advocates a stronger focus on fundamental questions that were raised decades ago but have not been adequately answered since the origins of CrM.
Influence of Transition Metals on the Development of Semiconducting and Low Thermal Expansion TiO2-Borosilicate Glasses and Glass Ceramics
Authors: Al Kiey Sherief A. , Abdel-Hameed S. A. M. , Marzouk M. A. 
Published: February 2024

AbstractThis current investigation represents as well as discusses in detail the characterization of the thermal, mechanical, as well as electrical characteristics of titanium-based borosilicate glasses doped transition metal ions (3d) in addition to their corresponding glass–ceramics. The building structural units of the as-prepared glasses together with their glass – ceramic were characterized by the FTIR technique. FTIR spectra reveal characteristic silicate and borate groups vibrations, some of the TiO4 units are formed beside (TiO6) groups. The progressive enhancement in microhardness and thermal expansion values was recorded for glass – ceramic state that occurred as a result of the crystallization of nano-sized crystals throughout the glass matrix. The estimated electrical parameters which include permittivity (ε'), dielectric loss (ε''), AC conductivity (σac) capacitance (C), and dielectric loss demonstrated a distinctive variation in their values in accordance with the type of transition metal and /or the applied frequency. The prepared glass–ceramic was found to be suitable for use in electronics and solar cell applications based on its overall thermal and electrical properties.
Assessing primary school preservice teachers’ confidence to apply their TPACK in specific categories of technologies using a self-audit survey
Authors: Martin David A. , Carey Michael D. , McMaster Natalie , Clarkin Madeleine 
Published: February 2024

AbstractInternationally, university teacher educators have acted on the requirement that practising teachers need to be operational users of technologies. In response, coursework has been restructured to develop preservice teachers’ (PSTs) use and application of educational technologies for teaching and learning purposes. This paper presents the development and use of a self-audit survey designed to guide primary school PSTs’ self-directed learning and assessments in 10 specific categories of technologies, and to improve their confidence to apply their knowledge. The survey was administered to 296 PSTs in a pre- and post-course design and validated post hoc with Rasch analysis. Pre- and post-course comparison of responses showed significant increases in the PSTs’ self-assessed confidence in their abilities across all ability categories with medium to large effect sizes (r = .42–.82). The survey had utility, providing each PST with a customised report with which to identify their technology learning needs; it also provided PSTs with the agency to be self-directed in their learning. The survey has the potential to provide teacher educators with fine-grained information regarding which technological pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK) being currently taught can be adopted, adapted, or rejected to maximise PSTs’ TPACK development.
Supporting the inclusion of gender and sexuality diversity in schools: Auditing Australian education departmental policies
Authors: Ullman Jacqueline , Manlik Kate , Ferfolja Tania 
Published: February 2024

AbstractWhile school policies are not a panacea, gender and sexuality diversity-inclusive policies have the potential to relieve educators’ concerns about what they are ‘allowed’ to engage with in respect to GSD inclusivity and to guide their proactive efforts to support gender and sexuality diverse (GSD) students. Unfortunately, policies enabling educators’ proactive, positive support for GSD students are far from systematised in schools across Australia’s eight states and territories. This paper presents an audit of publicly available policy guidance for educators in Australia’s government schools, analysing these against an original evaluative set of best-practice criteria developed from research recommendations from the field of GSD-inclusivity in K-12 schools. Analyses for each state/territory are provided. Results from this audit highlight the unevenness in articulated policy support available to Australian educators and illustrate the criticality of developing Australian federal policy mandates with respect to GSD inclusivity and professional development for educators, including both articulated expectations for the creation/maintenance of a safe and affirming environment as well as pragmatic support for how to create school cultural change.
Solid phase microextraction arrow-ion mobility spectrometry for determination of selected pesticides in water
Authors: Seyed Khademi S. M. , Ilbeigi V. , Valadbeigi Y. , Tabrizchi M. , Telgheder U. 
Published: February 2024

AbstractIon mobility spectrometry with corona discharge ion source was used for the measurements of selected pesticides cybutryne, terbutryn, dichlorvos, and quinoxyfen in water. The analyses were carried out by (i) direct injection of the aqueous solution of the pesticides and (ii) extraction using solid phase microextraction by commercial SPME arrows. The instrumental and the experimental extraction parameters including the drift tube temperature, injection port temperature, and the SPME fiber type were studied and optimized to achieve the maximum signal intensity. The limit of detections obtained by the direct injection were about 0.1–1.0 mg L−1. Using the SPME arrow-ion mobility spectrometry method, the detection limits were improved 7–50 times and obtained as 0.01, 0.015, 0.05, and 0.1 mg L−1 for terbutryn, dichlorvos, cybutryne, and quinoxyfen, respectively. The recovery rate for analysis in surface water (real samples) was approximately 90–110% for both the direct injection and solid phase microextraction method. The capability of ion mobility spectrometry for the simultaneous detection of a mixture of the studied pesticides was assessed, and it was found that terbutryn, dichlorvos, and quinoxyfen can be detected simultaneously without peak overlapping.
Plasma wire arc additive manufacturing and its influence on high-carbon steel substrate properties
Authors: Moschinger Matthias , Vauderwange Thomas , Enzinger Norbert 
Published: February 2024

AbstractSteels with a high carbon content are considered to be difficult to weld. High carbon equivalent indicates not only problems when joining such steels but also when using them as substrate in additive manufacturing (AM). In this study, the possibility of manufacturing a high-strength steel structure on a high-carbon steel substrate using plasma wire arc additive manufacturing (PWAAM) is demonstrated. This study deals with the thermal history and its effects on the substrate resulting from a multilayer build-up. In-substrate temperature measurements as well as metallographic and hardness measurement will provide an understanding of the influence of the process on the substrate. Additionally, a local pre-heating concept using penetration depth induction (PDI) is considered. PDI also enables energy rearrangement in which energy is removed from the AM process and introduced directly into the substrate by PDI. These variants of the preheating concept are also being investigated concerning their effects on the substrate and its properties. A comparison of multilayer buildup without and with PDI is intended to show the differences but also the possibilities that can be achieved with the PDI approach. The investigations carried out are intended to create the basis for a quality AM structure on a high-carbon steel substrate as well as optimized properties of the substrate. It is also shown that the transition zone between the substrate and the AM structure is not trivial for such a material combination.

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Background
The intergenerational physical activity program aims to promote the health, social engagement, and well-being of older adults. It is essential to comprehend the barriers and facilitators that affect their involvement to develop successful intervention strategies. This systematic review critically examines available research to identify the factors that impact the participation of older adults in intergenerational physical activity programs.

Methods
This study retrieved 13 electronic databases (from January 2000 to March 2023) and used a social-ecological model to classify and analyze the identified facilitators and barriers.

Results
A total of 12 articles were included, which identified 73 facilitators and 37 barriers. These factors were condensed into 7 primary themes and 14 sub-themes in total.

Conclusions
The factors influencing the participation of older adults in intergenerational physical activities are multifaceted. These factors guide project developers, policymakers, and practitioners in developing and implementing intergenerational physical activity programs to help address global aging issues and promote intergenerational connections.

Dysregulation of acyl carnitines, pentose phosphate pathway and arginine and ornithine metabolism are associated with decline in intrinsic capacity in Chinese older adults
Authors: Pan Yiming , Li Yun , Chhetri Jagadish K. , Liu Pan , Li Bowen , Liu Zuyun , Shui Guanghou , Ma Lina 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Background
Intrinsic capacity is the combination of individual physical and mental abilities, reflecting the aging degree of the older adults. However, the mechanisms and metabolic characteristics of the decline in intrinsic capacity are still unclear.

Aims
To identify metabolic signatures and associated pathways of decline in intrinsic capacity based on the metabolite features.

Methods
We recruited 70 participants aged 77.19 ± 8.31 years. The five domains of intrinsic capacity were assessed by Short Physical Performance Battery (for mobility), Montreal cognition assessment (for cognition), 30-Item Geriatric Depression Scale (for psychology), self-reported hearing/visual impairment (for sensory) and Nutritional risk screening (for vitality), respectively. The serum samples of participants were analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based metabolomics, followed by metabolite set enrichment analysis and metabolic pathway analysis.

Results
There were 50 participants with a decline in intrinsic capacity in at least one of the domains. A total of 349 metabolites were identified from their serum samples. Overall, 24 differential metabolites, 5 metabolite sets and 13 pathways were associated with the decline in intrinsic capacity.

Discussion
Our results indicated that decline in intrinsic capacity had unique metabolomic profiles.

Conclusion
The specific change of acyl carnitines was observed to be a feature of decline in intrinsic capacity. Dysregulation of the pentose phosphate pathway and of arginine and ornithine metabolism was strongly associated with the decline in intrinsic capacity.

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Background
Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) is a burgeoning approach with the potential to significantly enhance cognition and functional abilities in individuals who have undergone a stroke. However, the current evidence lacks robust comparisons and rankings of various NIBS methods concerning the specific stimulation sites and parameters used. To address this knowledge gap, this systematic review and meta-analysis seek to offer conclusive evidence on the efficacy and safety of NIBS in treating post-stroke cognitive impairment.

Methods
A systematic review of randomized control trials (RCT) was performed using Bayesian network meta-analysis. We searched RCT in the following databases until June 2022: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), PUBMED, and EMBASE. We compared any active NIBS to control in terms of improving cognition function and activities of daily living (ADL) capacity following stroke.

Results
After reviewing 1577 retrieved citations, a total of 26 RCTs were included. High-frequency (HF)-repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) (mean difference 2.25 [95% credible interval 0.77, 3.66]) was identified as a recommended approach for alleviating the global severity of cognition. Dual-rTMS (27.61 [25.66, 29.57]) emerged as a favorable technique for enhancing ADL function. In terms of stimulation targets, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex exhibited a higher ranking in relation to the global severity of cognition.

Conclusions
Among various NIBS techniques, HF-rTMS stands out as the most promising intervention for enhancing cognitive function. Meanwhile, Dual-rTMS is highly recommended for improving ADL capacity.

Authors: Coelho-Júnior Hélio José , Calvani Riccardo , Álvarez-Bustos Alejandro , Tosato Matteo , Russo Andrea , Landi Francesco , Picca Anna , Marzetti Emanuele 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Background
Declining physical performance in old age is associated with a wide range of negative health-related outcomes. However, it is unclear which physical capabilities should be prioritized to obtain prognostic information in older adults.

Aims
To examine the associations between the performance on several physical function tests and falls, disability, and death in a well-characterized sample of very old Italian adults.

Methods
This was a prospective cohort study of older adults who lived in the mountain community of the Sirente geographic area in Central Italy. Physical performance was assessed using isometric handgrip strength (IHG), walking speed (WS) at a usual and fast pace, 5-time sit-to-stand test (5STS), and sit-to-stand power measures. Appendicular skeletal muscle mass was estimated from calf circumference using a validated equation. History of falls, incident falls, and disability status according to basic Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) were recorded over two years. Survival status was obtained from the participants’ general practitioners and was confirmed by the National Death Registry over 10 years from enrolment. Linear, binary, and Cox regressions were performed to evaluate the association between physical performance measures and health outcomes.

Results
The mean age of the 255 participants was 84.2 ± 5.1 years, and 161 (63.1%) were women.
Logistic regression indicated that IHG was significantly associated with incident ADL disability, whereas specific sit-to-stand muscle power was an independent predictor of death. No significant associations were observed between physical function and falls.

Conclusions
Our findings indicate selective associations between physical function tests and the occurrence of negative events in very old adults, with poor IHG predicting disability and specific sit-to-stand muscle power being longitudinally associated with death.
Examining Race-Based and Gender-Based Discrimination, Trust in Providers, and Mental Well-Being Among Black Women
Authors: Cuffee Yendelela L. , Preston Portia A. Jackson , Akuley Suzanne , Jaffe Rachel , Person Sharina , Allison Jeroan J. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Objectives
To examine experiences of discrimination among Black women, and to determine if experiencing race- and gender-based discrimination is associated with mental well-being and trust.

Methods
Data from the TRUST study were used to examine experiences of discrimination among 559 Black women with hypertension receiving healthcare at a safety-net hospital in Birmingham, Alabama. A three-level variable was constructed to combine the race-based and gender-based measures of the Experiences of Discrimination scale. Linear regression was used to examine the association between experiences of discrimination with mental well-being and trust.

Results
Women who reported no experiences of race- or gender-based discrimination were older and reported higher mental well-being scores and greater trust. Fifty-three percent of study participants reported experiencing discrimination. Compared to participants who did not experience race- or gender-based discrimination, participants reporting experiences of race- or gender-based discrimination and those reporting experiencing both race- and gender-based discrimination were more likely to report poorer mental health.

Conclusion
Reported experiences of gender- and/or race-based discrimination in this study were associated with lower mental health scores and less trust in health care providers. Our findings highlight the importance of examining experiences of discrimination among Black women, and the role of discrimination as a stressor and in reducing trust for providers. Incorporating an understanding and acknowledgement of experiences of discrimination into interventions, programs, and during clinical encounters may foster more trusting relationships between providers and patients.
