Published: February 2025

Abstract

Purpose
Replacing irrational or unhelpful thoughts with more rationale and helpful ones is a core skill in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, but there is limited research examining the neuropsychological mechanisms underpinning this process. This study examined age-differences in cognitive restructuring skill acquisition between children, younger adults and older adults; whether individual differences in cognitive flexibility influences the ability to learn cognitive restructuring across the lifespan; and whether cognitive flexibility explains age-differences in cognitive restructuring ability.

Method
Participants were 114 individuals with anxiety disorders, including 35 children (aged 7–12, M = 9.14, SD = 1.44), 32 younger adults (aged 18–53, M = 23, SD = 7.84) and 47 older adults (aged 61–78, M = 66.81, SD = 4.43). Participants completed neuropsychological measures of cognitive flexibility and learned cognitive restructuring, which was coded for quality and efficacy.

Results
More than half the participants of all ages showed good quality cognitive restructuring skill acquisition with only brief instruction. Older adults showed comparable cognitive restructuring skills to children, with slightly better skills among younger adults. However, after accounting for individual differences in cognitive flexibility, there were no age-differences in cognitive restructuring quality. Greater perseveration was associated with poorer cognitive restructuring skill acquisition in younger and older adults, and mediated age-differences in cognitive restructuring skill acquisition.

Conclusions
Among younger and older adults, individual differences in perseveration, rather than chronological age, underpins the ability to learn cognitive restructuring. There is little evidence that cognitive flexibility plays a role in cognitive restructuring skill acquisition among children.

Abstract
Bribery, including its various forms such as political contributions and gift-giving in return for favourable treatment in government tenders, present a challenge for law enforcement authorities around the world. While bribery undermines the well-being of people, the rule of law, and harms market competition around the globe, the vast majority of white-collar-crime research is Western focused. This paper is the first significant analysis of the profile and detection of bribery involving perpetrators convicted in South Korea. Based upon a sample of 174 cases involving 198 convicted individuals collected through searches of the media and other relevant sources, we explore the profile of both bribe payers and bribe takers. The paper finds that South Korean prosecuted bribers are predominantly male public administrators involved in cases with the monetary value associated with bribery within the $10,000 to $99,999 range. The South Korea policing authorities predominantly focus on policing bribery of their public administrators and there is only limited evidence that they are able to do the same on the supply side of bribery, and against their own corporations. Unlike in other countries such as the UK and Norway, the South Korean enforcement landscape is associated with higher prison sentences and monetary sanctions, and a high degree of secrecy with laws mandating a rapid destruction of case files, and therefore a very limited publicly accessible information about the detection source. The paper contributes to the economic criminology literature by offering insights into the characteristics of bribery in South Korea and South Korean anti-bribery response in a rarely researched area.

Abstract
The impact of cognitive biases, particularly biased self-assessment, on learning outcomes and decision-making in higher education is of great significance. This study delves into the confluence of cognitive biases and user experience in spreadsheet programming as a crucial IT skill across various academic disciplines. Through a quantitative analysis, we investigate whether structured learning in spreadsheet programming can counteract self-assessment biases among higher education students. Specifically, our focus is on scrutinizing the accuracy of self-assessment in Excel proficiency among professional STEM students at the University of Debrecen, Hungary, by comparing traditional written and digital assessments. Our findings reveal that while high-achieving students tend to exhibit more accurate self-assessments, many students have a pervasive tendency to overestimate their spreadsheet competencies. These results emphasize the necessity for educational strategies that acknowledge cognitive biases in self-assessment, with far-reaching implications for curriculum design and lean management in higher education, by integrating evidence-based approaches to enhance digital competencies. This study makes a valuable contribution to the broader dialogue on improving learning outcomes and user experience in spreadsheet programming. Additionally, the research provides valuable insights for educators and policymakers, advocating for pedagogical adjustments that can assist students in better evaluating their skills and knowledge, thereby promoting more precise self-assessment practices.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
In historic mining towns, where mining activities were abandoned many decades or even centuries ago, legacy contaminations can be remobilized and redispersed, representing a threat for the environment and human health. This study focuses on urban soils (n = 19) in the town of Jihlava, the Czech Republic, one of the medieval centers of silver mining in central Europe. The basic geochemical characterization of the soils was combined with mineralogical investigations to understand the solid speciation of the metal(loid) contaminants, oral bioaccessibility tests, and exposure assessment. The total concentrations of the metal(loid)s in the original soils were not excessively high (up to 45.8 mg As/kg, 19.2 mg Cd/kg; 205 mg Cr/kg; 91.8 mg Cu/kg, 163 mg Pb/kg, 253 mg V/kg, 262 mg Zn/kg), although, in some cases, they exceeded the regulatory guidelines for agricultural and/or residential soils. A substantial increase in the metal(loid)s contents was confirmed for the < 48-µm soil fraction that was later used for the bioaccessibility tests. Scanning electron microscopy and the electron microprobe showed that ore-derived primary sulfides were rare in the studied soils. Still, hydrous ferric oxides rich in Cu, Pb and Zn and fragments of metallurgical slags composed of metal-containing glass and silicates (olivine) were prone to dissolution during extraction in a simulated gastric fluid (SGF, glycine solution acidified to pH 1.5 by HCl). The maximum bioaccessible concentrations corresponded to 4.69 mg As/kg, 1.75 mg Cd/kg, 2.02 mg Cr/kg, 20.3 mg Cu/kg, 81.6 mg Pb/kg, 16.2 mg V/kg, and 233 mg Zn/kg. Exposure estimates were carried out for children (10 kg) as a target group and a conservative soil ingestion rate (100 mg/d). However, the daily intake of all the studied contaminants was far below the tolerable limits. Our results show that the human health risk based on incidental soil ingestion in the studied area seems limited.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
The Atlantic wolffish (Anarhichas lupus) is a cold-water species with the potential to diversify aquaculture in Northern countries. Few studies have investigated the stress physiology of Atlantic wolffish, and the current knowledge on stress in wolffish species is largely derived from the closely related spotted wolffish (Anarhichas minor). In the current study, Atlantic wolffish were exposed to handling stress mimicking common husbandry conditions in aquaculture such as repeated air exposure and net-chasing. Samples were taken prior to stress exposure (pre-stress; control) as well as 5- and 24-h post-stress. A series of primary and secondary acute stress response parameters were assessed: plasma cortisol, glucose and lactate levels, hematological indices (hemoglobin, Hb; hematocrit, Hct; mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, MCHC), and osmoregulatory capacity through plasma osmolality and gill Na+/K+ATPase (NKA) activity. Other secondary stress responses with implications for fish health and welfare are intestinal integrity and transport functions. These parameters were assessed using the Ussing chamber technique. The cortisol peak values were low in comparison to other fish species studied after acute handling stress and occurred as late as 24 h post-stress, suggesting that Atlantic wolffish is a slow and low cortisol responder. Plasma glucose remained stable, whereas lactate concentrations significantly decreased between 5 and 24 h after stress. There was no effect on pH, Hb, or Hct, although a significant increase in MCHC was found after 5 h and 24 h, originating from a small increase in Hb. This result suggests a minor increase in Hb synthesis after stress exposure. The intestinal integrity and transport functions as well as gill NKA-activity remained unchanged after stress exposure. In conclusion, Atlantic wolffish appears to exhibit a relatively moderate stress response, characterized by a slow and low primary stress response and minimal secondary effects following husbandry-related acute stress. These findings contribute to the understanding of the species’ potential for development as a candidate for marine, cold-water aquaculture.
Exporting the just transition? The European Investment Bank, the European Green Deal and environmental and social rules for green projects outside the EU
Authors: de Simone Sara , Nicolò Marco , Parks Louisa 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The European Union’s European Green Deal (EGD) aims for a just transition to carbon neutrality both within and beyond its borders. This contribution to the special issue on the external dimensions of the EGD focuses on the role of the European Investment Bank (EIB). As a newly declared climate bank and a major funder of ‘green’ projects, the EIB’s role in this vein deserves attention. Do the environmental and social principles the EIB uses to judge funding applications contribute to an environmentally just transition? We explore this question by identifying key issues in impact assessment processes in the literature, brought into focus through an original illustrative case study on the Gibe III hydroelectric dam inaugurated in 2016 in Ethiopia, and linking these to three central aspects of Environmental Justice: recognitional, procedural and redistributive justice. This forms the basis for an analysis of the EIB’s environmental and social statements over time, and a reflection on how far current rules address critical issues. While the EIB’s rules pay increasing attention to critical issues such as the content of Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIAs), and questions around inclusion, timing, and trust, their contribution to a just transition could be strengthened by sharing responsibility for impact assessments with funding applicants and including rules about their co-design. A bottom-up approach to environmental and social issues could contribute to building shared norms amongst funders and a more universal adoption of ESIAs, and to strengthening networks of grassroots expertise to tackle power asymmetries.

Authors: Bongiorno V. , Michailidou E. , Curioni M. , Lyon S. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
In this study, the use of unsupervised machine learning for grouping organic coatings performance during corrosion testing is evaluated. Coatings with various pigments and pigment volume concentrations (PVC) were applied to AA2024-T3 and cold-rolled mild steel. The coated specimens were immersed in selected environments and periodically monitored with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Post-testing, the specimens were classified into three performance groups based on their appearance. The KMeans algorithm was employed to group the systems using three datasets based on the electrochemical. Comparing KMeans results with performance-based groups yielded an accuracy of 73%, highlighting both the potential and limitations of this approach.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Purpose
Clomiphene citrate (CC) is often utilized as an adjunct in in vitro fertilization (IVF) protocols during the first 5 days of stimulation for endogenous FSH release. However, due to its antiestrogenic mechanism of action, CC may also effectively prevent the LH surge, and hence premature ovulation, if continued until the day of trigger. The objective of this study was to evaluate a “long CC” protocol, in which CC is continued throughout the entire cycle in-lieu of GnRH antagonist, and to compare IVF outcomes with a standard 5-day CC + GnRH antagonist protocol in patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) undergoing IVF with high-dose gonadotropins.

Methods
This is a retrospective cohort study of all CC-based IVF cycles at a single institution between 9/2020 and 9/2022. Mild stimulation protocols were excluded. The long CC group received CC throughout the entire cycle without GnRH antagonist. The CC + GnRH antagonist group received CC for the first 5 days of stimulation followed by GnRH antagonist when the lead follicle reached 14 mm. The primary outcome was mature oocyte yield.

Results
There were 361 cycles (77%) in the long CC group and 108 (23%) in the 5-day CC + GnRH antagonist group. Age and AMH levels were similar between the two groups. There was no significant difference in mature oocyte yield between the long CC and 5-day CC + GnRH antagonist groups (median 5 (IQR 5) vs. 4.5 (IQR 5), respectively, (P = 0.922)). MII oocytes/AFC did not differ (0.69 vs. 0.56, respectively, P = 0.16). Premature ovulation occurred in 0.3% of cycles in the long CC group vs. 3.0% of cycles in the 5-day CC + GnRH antagonist group (P = 0.019).

Conclusions
In DOR patients undergoing IVF, a long CC protocol is an effective and patient-friendly approach associated with non-inferior oocyte yield.
‘That’s just the Way it is’: The Experiences of Co-habiting Spanish Siblings of Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Baena Sofía , Hidalgo Victoria , Jiménez Lucía 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Although the literature has provided a large body of evidence about the impact of having a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), studies on how this influences typically-developing (TD) siblings are scarcer and less consistent in their findings. Moreover, fewer studies have included TD siblings from non-English speaking countries as informants from a qualitative perspective. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore the experiences of adolescents and adults with a sibling with ASD. The sample comprised 14 TD people from Spain aged between 12 and 29, currently living with a sibling with ASD. The thematic analysis revealed that participants identified seven domains of impact, grouped into three different levels: personal, dyadic, and family. The findings of the present study highlight the complexity and heterogeneity of TD sibling experiences and relationships among family members. This study presents topics that are of particular relevance to the Spanish context while identifying commonalities with other studies. These results highlight the importance of cultural factors in some family processes. In addition, results shed light on how TD siblings appraise differential parental treatment and potential protective factors for adjustment, incorporating the relevance of the individual parent-child relationship and certain parenting components as potential protective factors for TD siblings. Such information is important to develop more accurate and effective interventions and adjust the necessary resources to assist TD siblings.
Interpretable data-driven framework for life prediction of homogenous lead-free solder joints in ball grid array packages

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Designing reliable electronic devices depends heavily on the reliability of solder joints. However, due to the ongoing advancement of novel lead-free solder materials, assessing their reliability for various applications, particularly in extreme conditions, often involves costly and time-consuming tests. Multiple factors, including board, package, assembly parameters, solder material properties, and process parameters, all affect the reliability of solder joints. Leveraging the available reliability test data as well as the simulated data, an interpretable data-driven framework is proposed by integrating linear mixed-effects (LME) models and artificial neural network (ANN) with sensitivity analysis to achieve accurate life predictions of solder materials and improve interpretability for understanding new lead-free materials. Multiple linear regression (MLR) and decision tree (DT) models have also been included for comparison. For thermal cycling (TC) tests, ANN, LME, and MLR achieve high prediction accuracy (R-squared values of 88.95%, 91.79%, and 90.07%, respectively), which are approximately 10%, 14%, and 13% higher than DT. Moreover, the interpretation derived from the random effects of LME and the sensitivity analysis of ANN, along with the insights from MLR and DT, successfully extract valuable information about the life of solder materials, which aligns with experimental testing results and empirical physics knowledge. For instance, it is found that the impact of aging duration on reliability depends on the configuration of the tested electronic package. Furthermore, as the temperature range of the TC test increases, the significance of the solder alloy material’s influence on reliability decreases. This reduction in relevance is associated with a transition to the failure mode under more extreme temperature conditions. Therefore, the interpretable data-driven framework not only models the complex relationships among influencing factors and solder joint reliability but also enables understanding the solder joint reliability. This framework can contribute to accelerating the design and adoption of new lead-free solder materials in various electronic applications and utilizing data-driven models to assess the reliability of electronic packages in future research.
Recurrent Nipple Duct Obstruction in Two Breastfeeding Patients: A Case Report and Discussion of the Underlying Pathophysiology
Authors: Sadovnikova Anna , Greenman Susan , Young Bridget , Rosen-Carole Casey 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Nipple pain is a common reason for premature breastfeeding cessation. There exists anecdotal evidence that one cause of lactational nipple pain is a ductal obstruction, but there is no published literature describing this phenomenon. Herein we present two case reports for two patients who experienced breast and nipple pain concurrent with milk flow reduction. Both patients removed a small stone-like obstructing object from their nipple; this action was painful for one of the patients, resulting in immediate release of milk and relief from breast pain. Both patients experienced recurrence of stone formation in their nipple ducts. We analyzed the mineral composition of the obstructing objects and breast milk using inductively coupled mass spectroscopy. We use literature on teat obstructions in dairy cows and dacryolith and sialolith formation to propose hypotheses as to how the formation of obstructing objects in milk ducts might occur. Future research directions for determining the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and management of human nipple duct obstructions are discussed.
Parent-Adolescent Discrepancies in Perceiving Parental Psychological Control and Autonomy Support Predict Adolescents’ Psychological Adjustment: Does Adolescent Gender Make a Difference?
Authors: Zheng Jiayin , Chen Bin-Bin 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Few studies simultaneously examined how parent-adolescent discrepancies in reporting psychological control and autonomy support predicted adolescents’ adjustment and the moderation by adolescent gender remains unknown. This longitudinal study addressed these gaps using a Chinese sample of 310 adolescents (158 girls; M
age = 13.34, SD = 0.36) and their parents. Adolescents reported depression and resilience and dyads reported parenting. The latent difference scores analysis showed higher psychological control and lower autonomy support perceived by adolescents than parents and larger parent-boy discrepancies in psychological control. Psychological control discrepancies predicted higher adolescents’ depression and autonomy support discrepancies predicted lower boys’ depression. The results suggest that parent-adolescent discrepant perceptions of different parenting behaviors predict adolescents’ adjustment via different processes, which vary for boys and girls.
Decomposing the Law, Composting the Collectives: Indigenous Struggles for Lands and the Making of Life Beyond Rights
Authors: Porto Renan Nery 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
In the last two decades in Brazil, indigenous peoples have been struggling for their rights through the practice of what they call “retomada de terras” (reappropriation of lands), which consists of reoccupying ancestral lands that were invaded by farmers or other explorers. Inspired by indigenous perspectives, new social movements are struggling for land and territory. After years of reclaiming the legal demarcation of indigenous lands or agrarian reform without a resolution from the State, they decided to act directly in the building of their territories. Within this process, there is also a production of another space, another ecology, another relationship to the land. If Carl Schmitt is right when he says that the original movement that makes law arise is the taking of land, which produces an ordering of space and defines borders that establish internal and external relations, what happens when lands are retaken and borders are reshaped? If we conceive of law in a very modern and technical conception, solely linked to an institutional image, it cannot help us to answer this question. The practice of “retomada” by the Tupinambá people and the agroecological experience of the Web of the People (Teia dos Povos) in Brazil can be an interesting path to investigate how the conditions of existence can be produced beyond abstract rights and more-than-human arrangements can change the way we live together. These practices produce justice spatially in a given territory and bring conceptions of rights rooted in the entanglements of bodies and their territories.
