Writing metacognitive strategy-based instruction through flipped classroom: an investigation of writing performance, anxiety, and self-efficacy
Authors: Khosravi Rahele , Dastgoshadeh Adel , Jalilzadeh Kaveh 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThis study aimed at exploring the effect of implementing writing metacognitive strategies via flipped classrooms on the Iranian EFL learners' achievement, anxiety, and self-efficacy in writing. The study involved 45 intermediate learners of both genders, selected using a random convenience sampling method. The participants' English proficiency was measured by the Preliminary English Test, and they were placed in two groups: experimental group (23 learners) and control group (22 learners). In the former group, the students were exposed to 5 distinct types of metacognitive strategies over the course of 10 flipped classroom sessions, while the latter group received writing metacognitive strategy-based instruction in a traditional classroom setting. The data collection process involved administering the Second Language Writing Self-Efficacy Scale, two intermediate writing tasks, and the Second Language Writing Anxiety Scale. The collected data were analyzed using a one-way ANCOVA. The findings evidenced considerable enhancement in the writing performance of the students who underwent instruction through flipped classrooms in comparison to those in the traditional classroom refsetting. Furthermore, the results demonstrated that the utilization of writing metacognitive strategies in flipped classrooms resulted in a substantial rise in students' writing self-efficacy, while simultaneously leading to a decrease in their writing anxiety.
Recent progress in research on source processes of great earthquakes using tsunami data
Authors: Tanioka Yuichiro , Yamanaka Yusuke 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThis paper provides an overview of inverse studies that estimate earthquake source processes using tsunami-related data. Methods and techniques developed with those data associated with the 2004 Sumatra and 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquakes were reviewed. These events significantly impacted subsequent studies that focused on great historical earthquakes. Thus, recent advancements from studies on great historical earthquakes (M > 8) using old tsunami data, including documents and non-digital tsunami waveforms, have been reviewed. Another key earthquake was the 1700 Cascadia earthquake, and its source process was revealed using geological tsunami deposit data, which have led to a recent surge in prehistorical earthquake studies using tsunami deposit data. Considering this, the advancements in prehistorical earthquake studies have been reviewed. Finally, expected advancements in earthquake source process studies using tsunami-related data in the near future have been discussed.

Abstract
Background
Insulin pump therapy (IPT) improves glucose control in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) compared with multiple daily injections (MDI). However, their size, the tethered insulin infusion set, intrusiveness when operating the device and the need to disconnect during showering limit their acceptance to many who may benefit. The Omnipod DASH® Insulin Management System is a small waterproof tubeless device which is wirelessly controlled by a handheld device which may be an acceptable alternative. However, there are no randomised controlled trials focusing on the impact on user perceptions of tubeless insulin pump therapy. This pilot study aims to assess study feasibility and acceptability of patch pump therapy compared with usual care in adults with T1D in Australia to inform power calculations and progression to a large-scale multi-site randomised controlled study.

Methods
A pilot multi-site parallel randomised controlled study will be conducted in sixty-four adults with T1D who are managed on MDI or IPT and self-monitoring with finger-stick blood glucose from four specialist diabetes centres in Victoria, Australia. Following carbohydrate counting education, participants will be randomised to use Omnipod DASH® System (Omnipod group) or continue usual care (usual care group) for 12 weeks, followed by a 12-week extension phase where all participants will use Omnipod DASH® System. The primary outcome measure is feasibility determined by study completion rates with a threshold of 0.80. Acceptability of the intervention (Omnipod DASH® System) will be assessed by the difference in Diabetes Technology Questionnaire ‘current’ (DTQ-current) score at 12 weeks post-randomisation compared to baseline. Secondary outcomes will include other measures of user acceptance, process outcomes, resource outcomes, participant-centred outcomes, healthcare professional perceptions and glycaemic outcomes.

Discussion
This pilot study will provide insights regarding the feasibility of the study design and the first data regarding user acceptance of insulin patch pump technology in Australian T1D adults. We anticipate that this study will provide information informing the design of a larger study evaluating the impact of patch pumps on subjective outcomes that are of significance to the person living with T1D.

Generic attacks on small-state stream cipher constructions in the multi-user setting

Published: October 2023

AbstractSmall-state stream ciphers (SSCs), which violate the principle that the state size should exceed the key size by a factor of two, still demonstrate robust security properties while maintaining a lightweight design. These ciphers can be classified into several constructions and their basic security requirement is to resist generic attacks, i.e., the time–memory–data tradeoff (TMDTO) attack. In this paper, we investigate the security of small-state constructions in the multi-user setting. Based on it, the TMDTO distinguishing attack and the TMDTO key recovery attack are developed for such a setting. It is shown that SSCs which continuously use the key can not resist the TMDTO distinguishing attack. Moreover, SSCs based on the continuous-IV-key-use construction cannot withstand the TMDTO key recovery attack when the key length is shorter than the IV length, no matter whether the keystream length is limited or not. Finally, we apply these two generic attacks to TinyJAMBU and DRACO in the multi-user setting. The TMDTO distinguishing attack on TinyJAMBU with a 128-bit key can be mounted with time, memory, and data complexities of $$2^{64}$$

, respectively. This attack is comparable with a recent work on ToSC 2022, where partial key bits of TinyJAMBU are recovered with more than $$2^{50}$$

Published: October 2023

AbstractLow-cost Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) devices offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional GNSS systems, making GNSS technology accessible to a wider range of applications. Nevertheless, low-cost GNSS devices often face the challenges in effectively capturing and tracking satellite signals, which leads to losing the observations at certain frequencies. Moreover, the observation peculiarities of low-cost devices are in contradistinction to those of traditional geodetic GNSS receivers. In this contribution, a low-cost PPP-RTK model that considers the unique characteristics of different types of measurements is developed and its performance is fully evaluated with u-blox F9P receivers equipped with three distinctive antenna configurations: vertical dipole, microstrip patch, and helix antennas. Several static and kinematic experiments in different scenarios are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results indicate that the mixed-frequency PPP-RTK model outperforms the traditional dual-frequency one with higher positioning accuracy and fixing percentage. Among the three low-cost antennas tested, the vertical dipole antenna demonstrates the best performance under static conditions and shows a comparable performance as geodetic antennas with a positioning accuracy of 0.02 m, 0.01 m and 0.07 m in the east, north, and up components, respectively. Under low-speed kinematic scenarios, the helix antenna outperforms the other two with a positioning accuracy of (0.07 m, 0.07 m, 0.34 m). Furthermore, the helix antenna is also proved to be the best choice for vehicle navigation with an ambiguity fixing rate of over 95% and a positioning accuracy of (0.13 m, 0.14 m, 0.36 m).

Abstract
Background
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic neuro-inflammatory disease of the brain and central nervous system. We aimed at assessing the cognitive functions present in adult patients with multiple sclerosis in remission phase of the disease comparing them to healthy control group.

Results
This is a cross sectional study using Penn Computerized Neurocognitive Battery (CNB) to measure performance accuracy and speed on specific neurobehavioral domains comparing MS group to healthy group. The MS group showed lower statistically significant difference in the accuracy of spatial memory, the motor speed, Non-verbal reasoning, Spatial orientation, social cognition, and working memory. Also, MS group showed statistically significant longer reaction time in facial memory, attention, spatial orientation, and non-verbal reasoning.

Conclusions
Attention, spatial orientation, non- verbal reasoning, Facial memory, working memory, social cognition and spatial memory were affected in patients with MS during their remission phase. cognitive evaluation should constitute a major part of the clinical examination in MS, especially when impairment seems likely.
Coexistence of mutations of Gilbert’s syndrome and Crigler-Najjar syndrome in an infant with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia—a case report
Authors: Rangan Ramya Srinivasa , Shah Shagun , Deshmukh C. T. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Background
Jaundice in the newborn period is a very common entity; rare inherited causes are often forgotten. Persistent unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia in the intermediate levels with non-hemolytic features must prompt the necessity for evaluating for genetic defects in bilirubin metabolism.

Case presentation
Three-and-a-half-month-old first-born girl of consanguineous marriage presented with jaundice from day 5 of life. Dark yellow color urine or pale stools were not present. Antenatal and birth history was normal. She had mild pallor and icterus and no hepatosplenomegaly. Total serum bilirubin was 8.2 mg/dl, and direct was 0.4 mg/dl. Workup for hemolytic anemia, thyroid function test, and sonography of abdomen was normal. Syrup phenobarbitone was started, and bilirubin levels after dropped to 2 mg/dl. Crigler-Najjar type II syndrome (CN II) or Gilbert’s syndrome (GS) was suspected. Next-generation sequencing for UGT1A1 gene mutation showed homozygous missense mutation consistent with CN II and 7 TA repeats in the promoter region consistent with GS. Bilirubin levels gradually fell after starting oral phenobarbitone syrup, and at 5 years of age, a trial of withholding phenobarbitone was given, and bilirubin levels remained lower, and she is asked to follow-up with bilirubin levels every 15 days to assess the need for reintroducing the therapy. Parents are planning for a second pregnancy, and a preconception genetic counseling has been done.

Conclusion
Genetic confirmation of coexistence of mutations causing GS and CN II have an implication on long-term neurological complications of unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia in stress or crisis situations. Prenatal diagnostic testing must be advised for detecting homozygous UGT1A1 mutations to diagnose CN II and Gilbert mutations for each of the future pregnancies. Considering the side effects of long-term phenobarbitone therapy, the decision can be taken on case-to-case basis of stopping the therapy while monitoring TSB levels.

Abstract
Mini abstract
This work studies the direct cost of hip fractures in Egypt. The direct cost was calculated based on the incidence of hip fracture in Egypt retrieved from the national database. The result of this work raises red flags to the policy makers in Egypt that such fragility fractures are preventable, should appropriate approaches be implemented.

Background
This study provides an analysis for the healthcare system in Egypt. It was carried out to assess the direct annual cost incurred to the Egyptian healthcare system in 2023 as a result of fragility hip fractures in older adult Egyptians.

Results
The direct costs of hip fractures incurred during the first year after the injury were estimated at 1,969,385,000 Egyptian pounds (US $63,734,142.4). Time from fracture to surgery was 2.2 + 0.5 days. The average hospital stay after hip fracture surgery was 5.2 + 2.6 days. 4.5% of patients died after surgery, on average 2.3 + 0.4 months. After being discharged from the hospital, all patients needed home care.

Conclusion
Hip fractures have a significant clinical and financial impact on patients and the healthcare system. This study raises red flags for the healthcare policy makers in Egypt, as the financial burden due to the direct costs of hip fractures justifies extensive prevention programs for osteoporosis and fragility fractures. There is an urgent need to implement diagnostic approaches and validated management protocols for bone health disorders and its associated fractures in Egypt.
The influence of vehicle dynamics on the time-dependent resonances of a bridge
Authors: Mostafa Neda , Di Maio Dario , Loendersloot Richard , Tinga Tiedo 
Published: October 2023

AbstractIn bridge structural health monitoring, the response of the bridge while the vehicle is on the bridge, is called a vehicle-bridge interaction (VBI) response. If the vehicle and the bridge are dynamically coupled, the VBI response depends on the bridge’s and the vehicle’s dynamic properties. Therefore, the damage detection techniques based on the bridge resonances become questionable due to the dynamic coupling between the bridge and the vehicle. This study investigates the influence of vehicle dynamics on the bridge’s time-dependent resonances. Vehicle-Induced Delta Frequency (VIDF) represents the changes in the bridge’s time-varying resonances resulting from the vehicle-bridge interaction, while Damage-Induced Delta Frequency (DIDF) accounts for the additional alterations caused by bridge damage. The dynamic interaction between vehicles and bridges (VBIs) is characterized by the frequency ratio between the vehicle (super-system) and the bridge (sub-system). The vehicle frequency is influenced by its dynamics, particularly the suspension systems. Two vehicle models, single suspension and dual suspension vehicles representing passenger trains and freight trains, respectively, are analyzed to assess the significance of vehicle dynamics on VIDF and DIDF. The results demonstrate that both vehicle models experience resonance, which magnifies the dynamic response to damage. However, not all types of vehicles possess the desired dynamic characteristics for effective bridge health monitoring. Trains with single suspension systems exhibit more pronounced changes in the bridge’s frequency response. This characteristic makes them more suitable for effective bridge health monitoring and damage detection.

Diante dos desafios impostos pela pandemia causada pelo SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19), a comunidade científica mundial tem gerado importantes avanços nas pesquisas e, com isso, consolidou-se uma ponte entre a ciência e a sociedade. Segundo Miranda (2021), a pandemia evidenciou a necessidade de vigilância constante a eventuais situações que apresentem risco para a sociedade, assim como criou uma aproximação entre o mundo científico e social.Esse cenário aponta para a necessidade de práticas e de gestão ética que garantam, de algum modo, apossibilidade de se avaliar, criticamente, o desenvolvimento e os rumos do conhecimento e ciência contemporâneos, tendo em vista suas implicações cada vez mais preocupantes para a vida. De fato, conforme o editorial da Revista de Ciência e Educação (REVISÃO..., 2015), a expressão 'ciência e ética' torna-se uma preocupação, em face dos problemas éticos enfrentados por pesquisadores em suas atividades relacionadas à instituição ciência consagrada à produção do conhecimento universal, objetvio, neutro e, pretensamente, sem fronteiras.A integridade da investigação diz respeito, entre outros, à conduta do investigador no tratamento dos dados e na publicação da pesquisa. Neste bojo, delineiam-se as orientações e normas que buscam evitar fraudes. Além disso, chamamos a atenção para as questões ligadas à ‘Ética na Pesquisa’, procedimentos de proteção a seus participantes, diante dos riscos das pesquisas que envolvem seres humanos (LA FARE; CARVALHO; MACHADO, 2014).Em vista do exposto, saudamos a todos com a edição de 2021-3, da Revista Gestão em Análise - ReGeA, na qual estão contempladas essas e outras temáticas do campo da ciência, da pesquisa e, especificamente, da gestão. Ao todo, são dezesseis artigos, um recorde em publicação em uma única edição da ReGeA sob nossa editoria. Tal feito é um reflexo do compromisso em oferecer ferramentas e informações necessárias no contexto de relevância crescente da pesquisa científica e, consequentemente, da importância da presença da ética tanto do pesquisador, como da gestão das organizações. O caminho para o desenvolvimento de uma ‘boa Ciência’, certamente passa pela colaboração de todos, o que tende a conduzir a uma perspectiva de desenvolvimento sustentável.

Background Intimate partner violence (IPV) against women is an important global health and human rights concern, with significant prevalence in Rwanda. This study aimed to identify predictors of IPV among women of reproductive age in Rwanda, providing essential insights for targeted interventions. Methods Data from the Rwanda Demographic Health and Survey 2019-20, a nationally representative survey, were analyzed. The study included 14,634 women aged 15-49. Descriptive statistics, chi-square analysis to check the experiences of IPV by background characteristics of the women and logistic regression were used to explore associations between background characteristics and IPV. Results The study revealed that women's educational status, wealth index, witnessing parental violence, husband or partner's drinking habit, and fear of husbands or partners were significantly associated with IPV. Women with higher education and those from wealthier households were less likely to experience IPV. In contrast, women whose partners consumed alcohol and those who feared their partners faced higher risks of IPV. Conclusion This study highlights the importance of addressing social determinants such as education, economic status, and alcohol consumption patterns in efforts to reduce IPV in Rwanda. The findings show up the urgency of comprehensive interventions and policies aimed at promoting gender equality and preventing intimate partner violence.
