AbstractA growing number of evidence-based services are available for fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), but few focus on caregiver psychoeducation. Despite new guidance in the UK requiring FASD services, the evidence base for effective interventions is currently lacking. An FASD caregiver training program would be a novel and valuable addition to service provision. SPECIFiC (Salford parents and carers education course for improvements in FASD outcomes in children) was developed using an evidence-based logic model with input from clinicians, families, and the charity sector. The course was delivered online to a small number (n = 9) of families in a mixed-methods, exploratory pre-feasibility study. Families were represented by either one or two caregivers, all of whom were adoptive parents or special guardians of a child with FASD. Parent perceptions were assessed using semi-structured interviews. The performance of proposed outcome measures (stress, psychological functioning, parenting self-efficacy, knowledge of FASD, and child behavioral difficulties) was evaluated. Pre- and post-measures were acceptable and showed promise as outcome measures for a future trial. Participants spoke positively about the course, welcomed the opportunity to discuss their own situations with other FASD caregivers, found the advice to be immediately useful, and described the course as therapeutic. Suggestions for improvements tended to focus on timing and technical issues. Based on a small sample, SPECIFiC was shown to be an acceptable and feasible psychoeducation program. Further evidence from a randomized controlled trial is needed to evaluate whether SPECIFiC can lead to reduced stress in parents, improved parenting self-efficacy, and ultimately a reduction in children’s behavioral difficulties.
An Evolution Model for Polygonal Tessellations as Models for Crack Networks and Other Natural Patterns
Authors: Bálint Péter , Domokos Gábor , Regős Krisztina 
Published: July 2023

AbstractWe introduce and study a general framework for modeling the evolution of crack networks. The evolution steps are triggered by exponential clocks corresponding to local micro-events, and thus reflect the state of the pattern. In an appropriate simultaneous limit of pattern domain tending to infinity and time step tending to zero, a continuous time model, specifically a system of ODE is derived that describes the dynamics of averaged quantities. In comparison with the previous, discrete time model, studied recently by two of the present three authors, this approach has several advantages. In particular, the emergence of non-physical solutions characteristic to the discrete time model is ruled out in the relevant nonlinear version of the new model. We also comment on the possibilities of studying further types of pattern formation phenomena based on the introduced general framework.

AbstractThe aim of the current study was to examine whether students’ perceptions of teacher support at an individual-level, teacher support and well-functioning class climate at classroom-level, and teacher support and well-functioning class climate at school-level were associated with peer victimization. Data were obtained from a Student School Survey administered by the selected Swedish municipality. Multilevel analyses were based on 5,646 students in 277 classes and 27 schools. At the individual-level, girls and students who perceived greater teacher support than their classmates were victimized less often by their peers. In addition, students in schools with classes characterized by greater cooperation, cohesion, working atmosphere and respect toward their teachers tended to score lower on peer victimization. Within schools, students belonging to classes with a more well-functioning class climate than what was average in the school, and students belonging to classes that scored their teacher as more caring, fair and respectful compared to other classes in the school, were less likely to be targets of peer victimization.
A point mass proposal method for Bayesian state-space model fitting
Authors: Llewellyn Mary , King Ruth , Elvira Víctor , Ross Gordon 
Published: July 2023

AbstractState-space models (SSMs) are commonly used to model time series data where the observations depend on an unobserved latent process. However, inference on the model parameters of an SSM can be challenging, especially when the likelihood of the data given the parameters is not available in closed-form. One approach is to jointly sample the latent states and model parameters via Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and/or sequential Monte Carlo approximation. These methods can be inefficient, mixing poorly when there are many highly correlated latent states or parameters, or when there is a high rate of sample impoverishment in the sequential Monte Carlo approximations. We propose a novel block proposal distribution for Metropolis-within-Gibbs sampling on the joint latent state and parameter space. The proposal distribution is informed by a deterministic hidden Markov model (HMM), defined such that the usual theoretical guarantees of MCMC algorithms apply. We discuss how the HMMs are constructed, the generality of the approach arising from the tuning parameters, and how these tuning parameters can be chosen efficiently in practice. We demonstrate that the proposed algorithm using HMM approximations provides an efficient alternative method for fitting state-space models, even for those that exhibit near-chaotic behavior.
Exploring Relationships Between Nonprofit Participation and Political Participation in Asian Context
Authors: Liu Helen K. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractOne essential role of nonprofits (NPOs) is to provide opportunities for people to participate in movements and resolve collective issues. This study investigates how NPO participation affects participation in political activities in Asian countries. Specifically, we ask how nonprofit engagement fosters active political activities in Asia. Using the Asian Barometer Survey, which provides information on NPO participation, political contact, and political participation activities, this study empirically examines the correlation between nonprofit participation and political participation in Asia. Our findings confirmed a positive relationship between nonprofit participation and political participation in Asia when controlling individual characteristics, location, and time fixed effects. Furthermore, our analyses further verify moderating effects of political regimes on this relationship, especially for the authoritarian and hybrid regimes. Our findings suggest that regulations, policies, and self-governance should be designed to cultivate a healthy NPO sector in terms of growth, diversity, and accessibility to citizens.
HURI: Hybrid user risk identification in social networks

Published: July 2023

AbstractThe massive adoption of social networks increased the need to analyze users’ data and interactions to detect and block the spread of propaganda and harassment behaviors, as well as to prevent actions influencing people towards illegal or immoral activities. In this paper, we propose HURI, a method for social network analysis that accurately classifies users assafeorrisky, according to their behavior in the social network. Specifically, the proposed hybrid approach leverages both the topology of the network of interactions and the semantics of the content shared by users, leading to an accurate classification also in the presence of noisy data, such as users who may appear to be risky due to the topic of their posts, but are actually safe according to their relationships. The strength of the proposed approach relies on the full and simultaneous exploitation of both aspects, giving each of them equal consideration during the combination phase. This characteristic makes HURI different from other approaches that fully consider only a single aspect and graft partial or superficial elements of the other into the first. The achieved performance in the analysis of a real-world Twitter dataset shows that the proposed method offers competitive performance with respect to eight state-of-the-art approaches.

AbstractEpidemiological studies in recent years have identified an association between exposure to air pollutants and acute myocardial infarction (AMI); however, the association between short-term ozone (O3) exposure and AMI hospitalization remains unclear, particularly in developing countries. Therefore, this study collected information on 24,489 AMI patients, including daily air pollutant and meteorological data in Henan, China, between 2016 and 2021. A distributed lagged nonlinear model combined with a Poisson regression model was used to estimate the nonlinear lagged effect of O3 on AMI hospitalizations. We also quantified the effects of O3 on the number of AMI hospitalizations, hospitalization days, and hospitalization costs. The results showed that single- and dual-pollution models of O3 at lag0, lag1, and lag (01–07) were risk factors for AMI hospitalizations, with the most significant effect at lag03 (RR = 1.132, 95% CI:1.083–1.182). Further studies showed that males, younger people (15–64 years), warm seasons, and long sunshine duration were more susceptible to O3. Hospitalizations attributable to O3 during the study period accounted for 11.66% of the total hospitalizations, corresponding to 2856 patients, 33,492 hospital days, and 90 million RMB. Maintaining O3 at 10–130 µg/m3 can prevent hundreds of AMI hospitalizations and save millions of RMB per year in Henan, China. In conclusion, we found that short-term exposure to O3 was significantly associated with an increased risk of hospitalization for AMI in Henan, China, and that further reductions in ambient O3 levels may have substantial health and economic benefits for patients and local healthcare facilities.

Prognosis of post-neoadjuvant therapy patients who underwent immediate breast reconstruction: a SEER-based, propensity-matched study
Authors: Pan Jiahao , Peng Liying , Tong Xiuwen , Chen Xipei , Xu Xinyun , Zhang Jian 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Objective
The application of immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) for post-neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) patients was controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term survival outcomes of IBR for these patients.

Methods
Data between January 2010 and November 2017 were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to reduce the influence of confounding factors between the mastectomy alone group (MA) and the mastectomy with IBR group (IBR). The rates of 5 year breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) were compared by Kaplan–Meier curves with log-rank test.

Results
The IBR was associated with improved 5-year BCSS in the IBR group before PSM (88.5 vs. 79.1%, P < 0.001). The proportion of IBR increased from 21.5% in 2010 to 28.2% in 2017. After PSM, a total of 9,610 patients were enrolled for survival analysis (4,805 in each group). In the complete response (CR) group, the 5-year BCSS rates did not differ (93.4 vs. 95.6%, P = 0.16). In the non-CR group, the 5-year BCSS rate was higher in patients who received IBR (82.5% 79.4%, P = 0.034).

Conclusion
In general, the application of IBR among post-NAT patients has steadily increased from 2010 to 2017. In the CR group, survival outcomes of post-NAT patients who received IBR were similar to those who received mastectomy alone. In the non-CR group, IBR was associated with potential survival benefits. More studies are expected to validate our findings.
Nutrition in the Management of ADHD: A Review of Recent Research
Authors: Lange Klaus W. , Lange Katharina M. , Nakamura Yukiko , Reissmann Andreas 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Purpose of Review
Various nutrients and diet quality have been suggested to be involved in the pathophysiology of ADHD. The purpose of this review was to examine data from recent cohort studies and dietary interventions to determine whether nutrition may play a role in the management of ADHD.

Recent Findings
Preliminary evidence suggests that minerals might have beneficial effects on ADHD symptomatology. Probiotics might offer novel strategies to prevent or treat ADHD. Inverse associations between adherence to “healthy” diets and ADHD symptoms have been observed. Children with ADHD responding to the few-foods diet (or oligoantigenic diet) with an elimination of individually identified food items show substantially improved behavior and cognitive functioning.

Summary
Evidence from recent research does not allow any recommendations regarding the use of micronutrients or probiotics in the management of ADHD. The few-foods diet may become an additional therapeutic option for children with ADHD.
Emerging Conflict of Interests for the Rhinologic Surgeon Entrepreneur
Authors: Carney A. Simon 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Purpose of Review
Many rhinologists are inspired thinkers and come up with ideas that have the potential to create novel technology or devices which are worthy of introduction into the commercial arena. There are many ethical, financial, sociological and academic problems which need to be considered in this complex legal arena.

Recent Findings
Research fraud is now an increasing reality which makes investors and colleagues cynical of initial claims of effectiveness. Doctors are also bound by ethical obligations which do not necessarily apply to others in the medical device and therapeutic industry. Whilst individuals may dream of the “get rich quick” outcome because of their intellectual property, unfortunately, the reality could not be further from the truth.

Summary
In this article, we will attempt to talk through all the various pitfalls that may be encountered and suggest some ways of minimising ethical, psychological, financial and academic pitfalls which may trip up our budding rhinological entrepreneur along the way.
Liquid superlubricity of lubricants containing hydroxyl groups and their aqueous solution under rolling/sliding conditions
Authors: Poláček Tomáš , Šperka Petr , Křupka Ivan 
Published: July 2023

AbstractMacroscale rolling/sliding conditions are in the superlubricity, a little-studied topic so far. The purpose of this paper is to examine the formation of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) films by water-based lubricants (glycerol and polyethylene glycol (PEG)), providing superlubricous friction. Experiments were carried out on an optical ball-on-disc tribometer under rolling/sliding conditions. The film thickness was measured by the thin film colorimetric interferometry, and the viscosity of liquids was measured by rotational and high-pressure falling body viscometers. The results show that tribochemical reactions are not the mandatory reason for friction to reach the superlubricity level when using the water-based lubricants. The studied liquids themselves are almost Newtonian. With the addition of water, the signs of shear thinning behavior disappear even more. Suitable conditions for this type of lubricant can be predicted using the known Hamrock–Dowson equations. An anomaly in the thickness of the lubricants was observed as an abrupt change at certain conditions. The more PEG there is in the lubricant, the higher the thickness at the beginning of the jump.

AbstractThe passivation of hydrogen atoms and the conformation of textured surfaces under oil-lubricated conditions are effective strategies to obtain amorphous carbon (a-C) films with extremely low friction. It is critical to understanding the influence mechanism of selective surface hydrogenation on the tribological behaviors of textured a-C film under oil-lubricated conditions. In particular, the interactions of hydrogen atoms and lubricants are confusing, which is enslaved to the in situ characterization technique. The reactive molecular dynamics (RMD) simulations were conducted to analyze the friction response of textured a-C films with selective hydrogenation surfaces under oil-lubricated conditions. The results indicate that the existence of hydrogen atoms on specific bump sites significantly decreases the friction coefficient (μ) of textured a-C film, which is highly dependent on the surface hydrogen content. The repulsion between hydrogen atoms and lubricant molecules prompts the formation of a dense lubricant film on the surface of the mating material. Interestingly, with the enhancement of the surface hydrogen content, the passivation of the friction interface and the repulsion between hydrogen atoms and lubricants play dominant roles in reducing the friction coefficient instead of hydrodynamic lubrication.
Zufriedenheit mit den Arbeitsbedingungen und das Burnout-Risiko der Pädagogen an den Musikschulen: ein Altersvergleich
Authors: Böckelmann Irina , Kirsch Marieke 
Published: July 2023

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Die Belastungssituation und das Burnout-Risiko im Beruf eines Musikpädagogen an Musikschulen wurde bisher kaum untersucht. Wie ist die Arbeitszufriedenheit und die Erholungsunfähigkeit von Musikpädagogen sowie das Burnout-Risiko in dieser Berufsgruppe, sind die Fragen, die altersbezogen mit Hilfe einer Online-Befragung untersucht wurden.

Methodik
Insgesamt nahmen 205 Musikpädagogen (davon 33,7 % männlich und 66,3 % weiblich) an der Online-Befragung teil. 12,8 % befanden sich in der Altersgruppe bis 35 Jahre, 15,8 % waren 36–45 Jahre alt und 71,4 % waren 46 Jahre und älter. Der Fragebogen beinhaltete Fragen zur Zufriedenheit mit den Arbeitsbedingungen, zum Faktor Erholungsunfähigkeit aus dem Fragebogen zur Analyse belastungsrelevanter Anforderungsbewältigung und dem Maslach-Burnout-Inventar.

Ergebnisse
Die Zufriedenheit mit den Arbeitsbedingungen, Erholungsunfähigkeit und das Burnout-Risiko der Pädagogen an den Musikschulen sind in drei hier untersuchten Altersgruppen statistisch vergleichbar. Die Häufigkeit vom manifesten Burnout-Risiko entsprechend des Maslach-Burnout-Inventars liegt bei 8,6 % der Musikpädagogen. Die außerhalb der Norm ermittelte Erholungsunfähigkeit zeigt sich bei 30,5 % der Musikpädagogen.

Diskussion
Im Vergleich zu den Lehrern an allgemeinbildenden Schulen liegt die Häufigkeit von Burnout-Symptomen bis hin zum manifesten Burnout-Risiko bei Musikpädagogen etwas höher. Im Rahmen der ganzheitlichen arbeitsmedizinischen Vorsorge bei Musikpädagogen sollte eine individuelle Risikoanalyse und individuumsbezogene Beratung zu Problemen und Gefährdungen bei ihrer Tätigkeit erfolgen.

Detection of spatial and temporal precipitation patterns using remotely sensed data in the Paranapanema River Basin, Brazil from 2000 to 2021
Authors: Manzione Rodrigo Lilla 
Published: July 2023

AbstractPrecipitation is the major input of the hydrological cycle in tropical regions. Changes in the spatial and temporal patterns of precipitation should be investigated in order to provide in-time information for both water and land use planning. Climate and land use changes have been influencing modification in the water cycle, demanding adaptations and increasing the vulnerability of water-dependent systems. This study investigated spatial and temporal changes in precipitation patterns in the Paranapanema River Basin (PPRB), Brazil. The PPRB region is an important agricultural and hydroelectric power generation hub and has been suffering from water crises in recent years, and more intensely in the last 5–10 years. The analysis used remote sensing precipitations data from September 2000 to August 2021 (summing up twenty-one hydrological years) at 0.1° resolution. Exploratory Spatial and Temporal Data Analysis (ESTDA) were applied to verify spatial local autocorrelation and hot/cold spots clusters, and temporal trends, homogeneity, and change points in the time series at Hydrological Planning Unit (HPU) scale level. The significant results were discussed based on statistical tests and land use cover change data. There is a strong presence of precipitation spatial patterns in the PPRB. Also, the PPRB presented modifications in the precipitation regime over the analyzed period, with significant change points around 2015—2017. Further monitoring is recommended in order to confirm these results in the long term, however, the provided information can already be used as an award to local and regional water bodies installed in the river basin, supporting informative water management.
