Published: June 2023

Theurer et al (2020) suggests that peer mentoring may be defined as a strategy offered to peers that includes the provision ofongoing emotional support or shared empathy.
At the author's university it was recognised that the ongoing implications of a pandemic has impacted significantly upon healthcare students mental health, and anxiety levels were greatly increased.
Any strategies that may potentially assist students within their training program should be acknowledged and facilitated. Peer mentoring was suggested as an initiative that may help to reduce anxiety and promote mental wellbeing.
Failing a social work practice placement: Differences between male and female students across Ireland
Authors: Hayes Davy , Roulston Audrey , O'Connor Erna , Shore Caroline 
Published: June 2023

This paper reports findings of a secondary analysis of quantitative and qualitative data gathered during a larger study of social work students who failed a practice placement during the years 2015-2019 in four Irish Universities. The study highlighted an over-representation of males in the sample (Authors’ Own, 2021) but did not examine gender differences in detail. This paper sets out to address this deficit by exploring differences between male and female students who failed a practice placement.

The findings are limited in explaining the disproportionately high rate of fail outcomes for male students but do highlight some differences between males and females in terms of reasons for failure. Firstly, males had significantly fewer recorded reasons for failure than females. Secondly, different combinations of reasons for a fail recommendation were found between males and females. Moderately significant associations, for example, were found between being female and having poor written work and poor reflection cited as reasons for failure and males were more likely to fail due to poor professional conduct.

These findings are discussed with reference to previous studies, concluding that further research is required to better understand why males are more likely to fail practice placements than their female counterparts.

Authors: GULİYEV Ziyad , ÖZERDEN Kerim Emre 
Published: June 2023

The phonomenon of gamification and character-building is constantly evolving and transforming. With
the advancement of technology, narrative structures and means, individuals have expanded their ability to
construct fictional universes. New stages have been created in cyberspace through the use of multimedia tools
that were once used in theatre, cinema, and other areas of visual narration mediums. Social media platforms
now provide individuals with the opportunity to create their own stages and express themselves in reshaped
and narcissistic, ironic and critical ways. Through various filters and masks, users can rebuild themselves
in digital public environments. This research draws a comparison between Commedia Dell’Arte masks and
Instagram filters to analyze the theatrical effects of digital space as a stage for individuals in everyday life from
a conceptual perspective.
Within the scope of the research, two hypotheses will be tested. Firstly, the technical opportunities offered by
new media platforms have significant impact on the individual’s ability to create their own stage. Secondly,
the characteristics of comedy in the historical Commedia DellArte culture still exists in today’s digital world.

Published: June 2023

Subject of the research in the article is the evaluation of complex multifactor stochastic systems functioning effectiveness according to a variety of correlated criteria. The problem actuality is determined by the fact that an independent evaluation of system effectiveness for each of the mutually correlated criteria for the system under consideration is not informative. In well-known works in the direction of multiple correlation, a relatively simple problem of estimating the correlation between one resulting parameter and a set of influencing factors is considered, which is not enough for the analysis and management of multicriteria systems. In addition, the known results do not take into account possible significant differences in influencing factors mutual correlation values. Purpose of Work is to develop a methodology for a comprehensive assessment of system effectiveness according to a variety of interrelated criteria. Tasks to be Solved: splitting the set of system parameters into two subsets (parameters determining the effectiveness of system and parameters affecting it), forming additive convolutions of parameters included in subsets, developing a methodology for calculating the multiple correlation coefficient between the components of the selected subsets, developing a method for differentiating a scalar function from a vector argument by this argument. Applied Methods: nonlinear programming, multidimensional correlation analysis, method of differentiation of scalar functions by vector argument. These methods are used for forming and calculating a multiple correlation coefficient between the set of system effectiveness complex criterion components values and its control parameters set values. Results Obtained: proposed methodology provides the possibility of solving the problems of system management, taking into account the revealed relationship between the multi-criteria evaluation of system effectiveness and values of its controlled parameters. At the same time, an important advantage of the obtained result lies in the possibility that arises when using it to take into account the joint (group) influence of control variables on the complex criterion of system efficiency. The developed technology of scalar functions differentiation by vector argument has great practical importance which expands the arsenal of computational mathematics.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Because of high mutation rate, overrepresentation in genic regions, and link with various neurological, neurodegenerative, and movement disorders, GGC and GCC short tandem repeats (STRs) are prone to natural selection. Among a number of lacking data on those STRs, (GGC)3 and (GCC)3 STRs remain widely unexplored. In a genome-wide search in human, here we mapped GGC and GCC STRs of ≥3-repeats, and report islands of up to 45 of those STRs, populating spans of 1 to 2 kb of genomic DNA with extraordinary density and periodicity. RGPD4 and NOC4L harbored the densest (GGC)3 (probability 3.09061E-71) and (GCC)3 (probability 1.72376E-61) STR islands, respectively, and were human-specific. We also found a prime instance of directional incremented density of STRs at a specific locus in human versus other species, that was the FOXK2 (GGC)3 island (probability 5.93916E-12). The genes containing those islands significantly diverged in expression in human versus other species, and the proteins encoded by those genes interact closely in a physical interaction network. In conclusion, (GGC)3 and (GCC)3 STRs form unprecedented islands of extraordinary density and periodicity, which may be of evolutionary significance in human evolution. These islands remain to be explored in evolutionary, mechanistic, and functional platforms.
Does Environmental Quality React Asymmetrically to Unemployment and Inflation Rates? African OPEC countries' perspective
Authors: Djedaiet Aissa 
Published: June 2023

Abstract

Environmental degradation, inflation, and unemployment are unquestionably among the current global issues. However, there has not been an in-depth investigation of how unemployment and inflation rates impact environmental quality. This study uses the Panel NARDL model methodology to investigate how the environment (proxied by CO2 emissions) reacts to asymmetric shocks in inflation and unemployment rates. In addition to determining whether the environmental Phillips curve (EPC) hypothesis holds true in the context of African OPEC countries over the period 1990 to 2019. The study presents three interesting findings. First, CO2 emissions are adversely associated with unemployment and inflation rates, meaning that protecting a healthy environment would have to come at the expense of two undesirable outcomes: losing employment and a decline in purchasing power. Second, the asymmetry analysis demonstrates that both negative unemployment and positive inflation shocks have a larger effect on CO2 emissions than the opposite scenario. Finally, long-term evidence exists to support the presence of the EPC in these countries.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Benefiting from the superior capability in manipulating wavefront of electromagnetic waves, metasurfaces have provided a flexible platform for designing ultracompact and high-performance devices with unusual functionalities. As a typical functional device, multi-foci metalens can realize novel functions (i.e., the large field of view and fully reconfigurable imaging) that are extremely challenging or impossible to achieve with conventional lenses. However, a multi-foci metalens always shows inhomogeneous/chaotical intensity distributions between the multiple focal spots, which is a key challenge in metasurface design and limited to further applications. Here an iterative algorithm is proposed to automatically optimize the in-plane orientation (other than the shape) of each meta-atom in a multi-foci metalens that can generate a plethora of focal spots with uniform intensity distributions. As proof-of-principle examples, inversely designed metalenses for generating circularly-polarized, linearly-polarized, and multi-polarized images with homogeneous intensity distributions are proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The robust approach for simultaneously and accurately modulating the amplitude, phase, polarization as well as intensity distributions of terahertz waves to generate polarization-dependent and uniform intensity of focal spots will open a new avenue in developing compact imaging, face unlock, and motion sensing.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Food consumption can alter the biochemistry and redox status of human saliva, and the serving temperature of food may also play a role. The study aimed to explore the immediate (3 min) and delayed (30 min) effects of hot tea (57±0.5℃) ingestion and cold tea (8±0.5℃) ingestion on the salivary flow rate and salivary redox-relevant attributes. The saliva was collected from 20 healthy adults before, 3-min after and 30-min after the tea ingestion. The hot or cold deionised water at the same temperatures were used as control. The salivary flow rate and redox markers in hot tea (HBT), cold tea (CBT), hot water (HW) and cold water (CW) group wereanalysedand compared. The results demonstrated that neither the black tea nor the water altered the salivary flow rate; the black tea immediately increased the salivary thiol (SH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) content while reduced salivary uric acid (UA) significantly. The tea ingestion showed a tendency to elevate the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) in saliva, although not significantly. The water ingestion decreased the MDA content immediately and increased the UA level significantly. Cold water was found to induce a greater delayed increase in total salivary total protein (TPC) than the hot water. In conclusion, the black tea ingestion affects the redox attributes of human saliva acutely and significantly, while the temperature of drink makes the secondary contribution.
Spatial optimization of circular timber hubs

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Construction is responsible for 38% of CO2 emissions and 40% energy consumption. The reuse of construction materials has been receiving increasing attention, including regulations established by the European Union, and cities establishing goals to reuse construction materials. This is the case for Amsterdam, which established the goal of reusing 50% of construction materials in new construction by 2030. Part of the challenge of reuse of construction materials in urban areas is to optimize the waste-to-resource loops: finding the optimal scale and location for circular construction hubs—facilities that collect, store, and redistribute construction waste as secondary construction materials. In this paper, we use the supply and demand of timber construction materials in Amsterdam as a case study to find the optimal scale and location for construction hubs. We used the spatial simulated annealing algorithm as an optimization method for balancing the trade-off between small and large scale hubs, using cost-effectiveness to compare potential locations and identify the optimal solution. We found that the optimal number of hubs for our study area is 29, with an average service radius of 3 km. This study has implications for policymakers, urban planners, and companies seeking to implement circular economy principles.

Authors: SU Yuying , LI Wei , PAN Changbo , SHI Yu 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Aim
To identify the effects of strength and balance training on dynamic balance and patient reported outcomes in people with chronic ankle instability(CAI).
Method
Five databases(CNKI, WanFang, Web of Science, EBSCO-SPORTD and PubMed were searched in September 2022. The search was conducted on randomized controlled trials(RCTs) that the effects of strength training, balance training and combination of strength and balance training in people with chronic ankle instability compared to a control group. Using Review Manager 5.3 and Stata-SE 15 to conduct Meta-analysis on the included literature. methodological quality and risk of bias were assessed by using the PEDro scale.
Results
A total of 33 Chinese and English RCTs document were screened and 1154 patients with CAI were included in the study. Compared with control group, strength training, balance training and combination of strength and balance training demonstrated to be more effective in terms of improving patient reported outcomes(strength training: SMD = 0.80, 95%CI = 0.39–1.22; balance training: SMD = 0.79, 95%CI = 0.41–1.17; combination of strength and balance training: SMD = 1.28, 95%CI = 0.57, 1.99). Subgroup analysis: Intervention for 6 weeks, more than 3 times a week and more than 30 minutes each time were the best rehabilitation programs to improve CAI patientreported outcomes. Compared with control group, balance training demonstrated to be more effective in terms of improving Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT)((anterior: SMD = 0.71, 95%CI = 0.03–1.40; posterolateral: SMD = 0.84, 95%CI = 0.22–1.46; posteromedial: SMD = 0.88, 95%CI = 0.45–1.32). However, strength training and combination of strength and balance training had no improvement effects on SEBT.
Conclusions
Available evidence showed that, results of the comparison between balance training versus strength training suggest that the combination of strength and balance training achieves greater benefits for patient reported outcomes and balance training could bring greater benefits to dynamic balance. Strength training should be used cautiously in clinic to improve the dynamic balance in individuals with CAI.

War-related stress scale
Authors: Vargová Lenka , Jozefiaková Bibiána , Lačný Martin , Adamkovič Matúš 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Background
The current war in Ukraine has affected the well-being of people worldwide. In order to understand how difficult the situation is, specific stressors associated with war need to be measured. To address this, we have developed an inventory of war-related stressors, including its short form.
Methods
A list of potential war-related stressors was created, and the content validity of each item was assessed. The list, together with other validated scales, was administered to a representative sample of the Slovak population (effective N = 1851). Exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, convergent validity analysis, and network analysis were carried out to determine the optimal scale (long and short form) focused on war-related stressors.
Results
The full version of the scale consists of 21 items that can be further divided into three factors: society-related stressors, person-related stressors, and security-related stressors. The short version of the scale consists of nine items loaded onto one factor. These items cover fear for one’s safety and future, access to basic needs, potential worsening of the economic situation, and escalation of the conflict with the possibility of a nuclear threat. The results of the network analysis indicate that concern about escalation and fear of an economic crisis play a central role.
Conclusions
The scale attempts to cover a wide spectrum of areas that are affected by war and its potential consequences on people who live outside the conflict area. Given the complexity of the issue, we invite researchers to modify the scale and adjust it to cultural, geographical, and time-specific factors.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Background
Stroke necessitates interventions to rehabilitate individuals with disabilities, and the application of functional electrical stimulation therapy (FEST) has demonstrated potential in this regard.
Methods
We performed a systematic review according to the recommendations of the PRISMA checklist, searching MEDLINE, Cochrane, EMBASE, LILACS, and PEDro databases by July 2022, without any date or language limitations. Studies were selected using the following terms: stroke, electrical stimulation therapy, cycling, and clinical trials. Randomized or quasi-randomized clinical trials were included that investigated the effect and effectiveness of FEST combined with exercise programs and FEST alone for motor function and activity in subacute post-stroke individuals. The quality of included trials was assessed using the PEDro scores. Outcome data were extracted from eligible studies and combined in random-effects meta-analyses. The quality of evidence was determined according to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation system.
Results
Five randomized clinical trials involving 187 participants were included. Moderate-quality evidence indicates that FEST combined with exercise programs promotes relevant benefits in trunk control (MD 9 points, 95% CI 0.36 to 17.64) and walking distance (MD 94.84 meters, 95% CI 39.63 to 150.05, I = 0%), the other outcomes had similar benefits. FEST compared with exercise programs promotes similar benefits in motor function and activity.
Conclusion
This systematic review provides low to moderate-quality evidence that FEST combined with exercise programs provides similar or superior benefits in motor function and activity in early subacute post-stroke individuals.

Functional form or Machine-Learning-Based Ground-Motion Models? An application to the Italian dataset
Authors: Luzi Lucia , Felicetta Chiara , Lanzano Giovanni 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This paper examines the advantages and drawbacks of the use of a functional form in empirical ground-motion modelling compared to machine learning algorithms. Typically, models based on linear regression and predefined functional forms have limits in representing complex nonlinear behaviour of source, attenuation and site effects present in the data. We investigate the efficiency of different machine learning algorithms using the dataset of Italian strong motion records, consisting of 5,607 records relative to 146 earthquakes and 1,657 stations, employed to derive the most recent ground motion model for Italy. We quantify the differences in the predictive capabilities of both approaches in terms of standard deviation, which is broken down into between-event, between-station and event- and site-corrected components, implemented as random effects. When datasets are sufficiently large, various ML algorithms tend to provide more accurate estimates compared to the conventional linear regression-based method and the Gaussian Process Regression is the best-performing algorithm with the Italian dataset. The conventional regression-based methods are a better tool when limited data is available.
