Analysis of two decades of aid flows to higher education in Palestine: implications for rebuilding destroyed higher education in Gaza
Authors: Barakat Sultan , Heleta Savo , Cochrane Logan 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This research critically analyses foreign aid flows to higher education in Palestine during 2002–2022, with the aim of elucidating historical trends, patterns and donor priorities. The study systematically examines the types and volumes of aid allocated to higher education by donors reporting official development assistance to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. By exploring these aid dynamics, the research provides important insights into the aid trends to higher education in Palestine in the past and investigates whether the destruction of higher education in Gaza during prior conflicts has resulted in a significant increase in aid directed towards the sector’s reconstruction and recovery. The findings indicate that in the past, donors have prioritised the provision of international scholarships for Palestinians to study abroad while neglecting local higher education in Palestine. Aid directed to local higher education has been uneven, fragmented and sporadic, undermining the efforts to strengthen and/or rebuild local institutions. Most notably, foreign aid has not played a significant role in either the development and expansion of higher education in Palestine or the rebuilding of the institutions after destruction in previous wars in Gaza. This research highlights a pattern of neglect and advocates for a reassessment of donor strategies, emphasising the need to support strengthening and rebuilding local higher education to facilitate the sector’s role in post-conflict socio-economic recovery.
An Extra-Qualitative Alternative to the Qualitative Interpretation of Absolute Individuation
Authors: Liu Zixuan 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Husserl’s thesis of absolute individuation consists of two ideas: (1) unlike experiences and mundane entities, which are individuated via spatiotemporal position, the subject has its own principle of individuation and (2) even for non-subjects, the ultimate principle of individuation is their relationship with the subject. Absolute individuation is sometimes qualitatively interpreted (even by Husserl): owing to habituation, a subject’s personal character cannot be reinstantiated elsewhere. I argue against the qualitative interpretation for two reasons. The first is its inconsistency with Husserl’s account of the individuation of non-subjects. Maximally specific universals cannot individuate a non-subject because they can be multiply instantiated, at least in different phantasies. If multiple instantiation is also possible for personal characters, then this poses a problem for the qualitative interpretation. The second reason is that the qualitative interpretation cannot explain the subjective contribution to the individuation of non-subjects. I consequently propose an extra-qualitative interpretation: The relevant subject should be defined as one-off sic et simpliciter. It has no other determinations than one-offness and is, thus, pre-spatiotemporal. This can explain what individuates instances of maximally specific spatiotemporal universals, thereby addressing (2) above. It also highlights the need to recognize the respective contributions made by multiple notions of the subject. Husserl’s context-dependent distinction between constitutive determinations and principia individuationis may shed light on the qualitative/non-qualitative difference in contemporary metaphysics. The hierarchical model of individuation can also illuminate the debate around possible worlds and haecceitism.
Domestic and Family Violence Among Migrant, Refugee, and Asylum-Seeking Women in Australia: A Scoping Review of Experiences and Support
Authors: Robinson Kim , Afrouz Rojan , Dunwoodie Karen 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Purpose
The topic of women from migrant or refugee backgrounds who experience Domestic and Family Violence (DFV) and have restricted or limited access to public funds, legal and social support services is becoming more prominent in Australia. This scoping review explores, what lessons learned can be found in peer-reviewed literature and grey on the integration of the social support and legal interventions associated with DFV among migrant, refugee, and asylum-seeking women in Australia.

Methods
We adhered to the Arksey and O’Malley (2005) framework and PRISMA guidelines to provide evidence on the topic of DFV in Australia between 2000 and 2023 and found 550 articles in the initial search of key data bases such as, PubMed, PsycInfo, and Google Scholar. This was reduced to 200 when cross referenced with duplicates. Further screening against inclusion/exclusion criteria by two authors separately, resulted in 22 relevant articles meeting all criterion.

Results
Findings suggest three key themes including Lived experience of Domestic and Family Violence; Protective and Contributing Factors Supporting Women’s Decision Making; and Lack of an Intersectional Approach in Service Delivery. Results indicate there are multiple barriers preventing women from accessing social and legal support services, and urgent policy changes are required to prevent ongoing abuse to them and their children.

Conclusions
Recommendations include further development of culturally inclusive and holistic approaches in service delivery, research, and policy. It is an urgent requirement to enhance the capacity of service providers and professionals to effectively respond to the needs of migrant, refugee, and asylum-seeking women experiencing DFV.
Predicting Subjective Well-Being from Personality: The Effects of Suppression, Confounding, and Mediating Variables
Authors: Lai Catie Chun Wan , Brooks Kevin R. , Boag Simon 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This article presents a study examining 1) how personality predicts subjective well-being (SWB) and the possible suppression and confounding effects, and 2) the mediating role of fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption. This article addresses the lack of acknowledgment of suppressor variables in psychological research by illustrating the statistical methods and theoretical importance of identifying, classifying, and interpreting suppressor variables. This study employed a cross-sectional sample (N = 893) to identify and classify suppressor and confounding variables in the associations between Big Five personality (Big-5) and SWB. This study also examined the mediating role of FV consumption. The findings provided evidence for the suppression effect of openness and confounding effect of neuroticism in the associations between the Big-5 and SWB. The findings also demonstrated the importance of including all theoretically meaningful variables (including suppressor variables) in a model to accurately assess the contribution of each predictor. This study demonstrated that recognizing the presence of suppressor variables provided essential information for examining and interpreting the mediating role of FV consumption. This study also found that FV consumption significantly mediated the association from conscientiousness to SWB. Conscientiousness was positively associated with FV consumption, while FV consumption was positively associated with SWB. The findings provided preliminary support for targeting FV consumption as a form of intervention to enhance SWB, especially for those who are low in conscientiousness. This is the first article investigating suppression, mediating, and confounding effects in a single research article, and highlights the importance of accounting for these effects when testing models with multiple predictors.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Most adults experience age-related cognitive decline. However, “Positive-Agers” exhibit superior cognition compared to their age-matched peers. Distinguishing between those with superior cognitive performance and those with cognitive decline over time could better inform treatment therapies in older adults. We developed an algorithm called Optimal Cognitive Scoring (OptiCS) that accurately differentiates “Positive-Agers” from “Cognitive Decliners.” This study draws on a cohort of 5797 participants longitudinally enrolled in the UK Biobank. Using a predictive pipeline, OptiCS could strongly differentiate Positive-Agers versus Cognitive Decliners (area under the curve, or AUC of 83%). The top diffusion MRI attributes highlighted tracts implicated in pathological aging, including the fornix from the hippocampus, the tapetum from the splenium of the corpus callosum, and other key tracts. This study provides three key insights: (I) The proposed algorithm offers a robust cognitive scoring system for subtle cognitive changes, (II) OptiCS can use diffusion MRI to accurately gauge cognitive performance, and (III) OptiCS provides a predictive framework for early detection of cognitive decline.
A Hybrid Update of the Fe-Si System by DSC, Thermodynamic Modeling and Statistical Learning from Ladle Refining Data of Electrical Steels

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Electrical steels, also known as silicon steels, are essential materials in electrical applications due to their unique magnetic properties, which are enhanced by adding up to 3.5 wt pct Si. However, alloying with ferrosilicon FeSi75, a mixture of 25 wt pct Fe and 75 wt pct Si, during ladle refining faces steelmakers with metallurgical challenges, primarily due to the strong exothermic reaction during its dissolution in liquid steel. Here, solution thermodynamics of the Fe-Si system offer insights into the heat evolution and, therefore, superheating control for continuous casting. This study experimentally reassesses the binary Fe-Si system using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and High-Temperature Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy (HT-LSCM) to investigate phase equilibria between 0.50 and 12.50 wt pct Si and from 600 °C to 1550 °C. Thermodynamic modeling of the Fe-Si system was carried out in the CALPHAD framework, applying the Modified Quasichemical Model (MQM) for the liquid phase to consider the strong interactions between Fe and Si. In this way, the description of the liquid’s mixing enthalpy and the activities of Fe and Si agree well with literature values. Deviations in liquidus and solidus temperatures, as measured by DSC, were reduced to within ± 5 °C. Additionally, the solubility limits of Fe and Si in intermediate silicides were refined based on the most recently published measurements. A comprehensive statistical analysis of industrial ladle refining processes involving 172 t ladles revealed a heat increase of 4.73 °C per t of FeSi75, consistent with adiabatic thermodynamic calculations (5 °C per t FeSi75). These findings improve the precision of thermodynamic databases and provide valuable insights for optimizing heat management and process control in producing silicon steels.

Abstract
In the present study, physicochemical features and staling characteristics of fully egg-replaced gluten-free cakes with aquafaba derived from four different pulses, as kidney beans, chickpeas, haricot beans, and black-eyed peas, during two-week storage were elucidated. In this context, the a

w
, moisture content, and DPPH* (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging activity were decreased in all eggless gluten-free (ESGF) cakes throughout storage. The 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural contents in ESGF cakes ranged between 218.12 to 248.84 µg/kg and 97.0 to.28 µg/kg, respectively on the first day of storage. According to the volatile compounds, the predominated volatile group was acids in all ESGF cakes followed by aldehydes and alcohols on the 1st day of storage. Using aquafaba in gluten-free cakes accelerated the starch staling process, regarding staling kinetic parameters fitted to the Avrami model (n = 1). The consumption of control cake made with whole-eggs was not recommended after 7 days of storage at room temperature due to microbiological safety concerns whereas ESGF cakes could be consumed after 14 days of storage.

De-escalation for Human Papillomavirus-Positive Oropharyngeal Cancer: A Look at the Prospective Evidence
Authors: Chen Allen M. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Purpose of Review
Although it is now firmly established that the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) expression in oropharyngeal cancer is associated with a favorable prognosis, the implications with respect to treatment remain uncertain. However, the recognition that HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer is exquisitely sensitive to radiation and chemotherapy has raised questions regarding the appropriateness of historical treatment paradigms, and clinical trials have been conducted to assess whether patients can be treated with less intensive regimens. The fundamental goal of de-escalation is to preserve the high rates of cure and survival from traditional approaches while reducing the incidence of both short- and long-term side effects. However, the data reporting on de-escalation is relatively limited.

Recent Findings
While the evidence to date has been promising, the heterogeneity of the published studies particularly with trial design, de-escalation approach, inclusion criteria, and treatment selection has made drawing definitive conclusions difficult. The use of differing endpoints related to disease control and quality of life have also complicated the comparison of trials across the literature.

Summary
Multiple uncertainties continue to exist with respect to the current state of de-escalation for HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer, and how to consider the growing evidence in the context of clinical decision-making in the future is the subject of this review.
Life cycle costing of a milling plant: a case study in Italy
Authors: Casella Giorgia , Monferdini Laura , Bigliardi Barbara , Bottani Eleonora 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The scope of this study is to perform an economic analysis of a food system—a milling plant—through the Life cycle costing (LCC) approach. To be more precise, this paper illustrates the evaluation of the total cost of a stainless steel rollermill by means of an analytic model developed under Microsoft Excel™. The model takes into account the key cost components of manufacturing and using the milling plant throughout its life cycle (i.e. initial acquisition cost, operating cost, maintenance cost and end-of-life cost). The details of the computational procedure and its application are provided for all cost components of this food technology. The LCC analysis carried out on a 15, 30 and 45-year time horizon allowed the cost associated with the entire life cycle of the system to be identified and quantified. The set of analyses conducted shows that, although the initial acquisition cost remains unchanged, the operating and maintenance costs increase significantly over time, dominating the total cost. In turn, the most influential component of the operating cost is electricity, while for maintenance cost, prevention and planning activities play an increasingly important role with the increase in the duration of the lifetime. This study provides a clear and comprehensive view of costs over the entire plant cycle and helps to identify the most relevant cost components.

Evolving Contributions of Various Income Sources to U.S. Income Inequality Across Age Groups
Authors: Scharrer Christian 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This paper studies the age-group-specific evolutions of inequality of total income among highly and less educated females and males at ages 26–85 from 2005 to 2018 in the United States. In particular, it presents time series of Gini coefficients and associated decompositions by different income components to highlight the contributions of different income sources to inequality in different age groups over time. The results indicate, among others, that especially an increasing number of individuals with zero incomes contributed to the observed increases of inequality among less educated females and males aged 26–45 and 26–55 after the Great Recession, respectively.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Increasing evidence for the psychological, physiological and social multidimensional effects of Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome has made CDS a focus of interest for researchers. Understanding the effects of CDS is critical for individuals’ social and psychological well-being. The purpose of this study is to investigate the connections among Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (CDS), social anxiety, and social withdrawal. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 431 high school students in a province of Turkey. Data were collected using the Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome Scale, Hikikomori Questionnaire (HQ) and Social Anxiety Scale. Direct and indirect effects of CDS are discussed. It was also revealed that social anxiety mediated the relationship between CDS and social withdrawal and gender had a moderating effect. The relationship between CDS and social anxiety is stronger in female adolescents, and the indirect effect of CDS on social withdrawal is higher in females. The research results have important implications based on the effect of CDS on social interactions.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Ammonia is a promising zero-carbon alternative fuel. Direct ammonia fuel cells (DAFCs), as an efficient ammonia-fueled power system, have an extremely high application value in the field of transportation for decarbonization. Metals are essential components for catalysts and electrolytes in DAFCs, with catalysts being critical to their overall performance. Currently, ammonia-fueled solid oxide fuel cells with Ni-based catalysts have reached peak power densities exceeding 1000 mW·cm−2. In the case of anion exchange membrane fuel cells, platinum-group metal catalysts can achieve a peak power density of 410 mW·cm−2. Despite these advancements, further development of more efficient, stable, and cost-effective catalysts is necessary to meet the demands for high efficiency and power density in transportation power systems. This review comprehensively summarizes the recent advancements of metal materials in DAFCs, as well as the potential applications of DAFCs in the transportation sector.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
This paper presents an experimental study on developing and validating a simulation-ready aerodynamic model for the Skywalker X8 unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) using a hybrid output error method (OEM). Building on previous efforts, we introduce an updated 6-degree-of-freedom (DOF) nonlinear aerodynamic model and its linearized form. The key features of this work include the model’s identification in the stability frame, achieved using estimated angle of attack and sideslip angle, and the use of a propulsion system model to obtained the motor speed data. The stability frame parameterization allows for direct comparisons with a larger set of UAV models and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) results, often presented in terms of lift and drag analysis. Key advancements include a residual distribution analysis that was successfully applied to identify and correct weaknesses in the initial drag and side force models. Additionally, the paper addresses the unique combination of challenges faced during this study and describes strategies for managing strong winds during experiments, use of a propulsion system model to obtain motor speed data, and utilization of estimated aerodynamic angles. The resulting model is validated against a separate set of maneuvers comprising 10-s-long sequences that include estimated body states, force and moment coefficients, and estimated air data states, (
