Methodological and Ethical Considerations in Research Involving Adult Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse : A Reflection
Authors: Nurul Eka Hidayati  , Fentiny Nugroho  , Sali Rahadi Asih  
Published: January 2023

The number of reported incidents of sexual violence continues to increase in Indonesia, giving rise to deep concerns and calls to prevent sexual violence from occurring in the future. Some experts call it “the Silent Epidemic” because it is estimated that the actual number of events is much higher than reported. Therefore, research on this issue needs to be continued to get input on the cause and effect, impact and prevention efforts. Researches on child sexual abuse and the impact throughout the lives of the survivors is highly important in providing scientific evidences for developing the interventions in social work practice. However, it also comes with very specific challenges when conducting a research on this issue. There are no specific guidelines regarding ethics and methodology in carrying out research on survivors of sexual violence. Therefore, in the future it is important to consider the methodological and ethical aspects before embarking on a research involving survivors of sexual violence. Based on the experience of carrying out this research, the aspects that potentially harm or put participants and researchers at risk can be minimized or even avoided. This experience can also provide reinforcement that research involving trauma survivors can benefit both the affected population as well as social work scientists and practitioners. This manuscript discusses the current thinking on these issues.
Les ressources pédagogiques pour l’enseignement des musiques traditionnelles d’ici et d’ailleurs dans les écoles primaires du Québec
Authors: Bélisle Rita 
Published: January 2023

Les outils pédagogiques pour l’enseignement de la musique dans les écoles primaires du Québec ont suivi les transformations des réalités scolaires, elles-mêmes accentuées par les mouvements migratoires internationaux. Ceux-ci ont amené les pédagogues à développer l’éducation interculturellequi promeut l’ouverture culturelle et favorise l’égalité des chances pour les élèves de tous les horizons. Cette approche s’est étendue à l’enseignement de la musique, qui se sert des musiques traditionnelles comme moyen d’intégration pour faire découvrir aux élèves des cultures variées et les aider à construire leur identité. Cependant, il semble que les ressources pédagogiques pour ce répertoire soient peu nombreuses ou mal connues des enseignants. Cet article a donc pour objectif de brosser le portrait du matériel pédagogique disponible en français au Québec pour enseigner les musiques traditionnelles d’ici et d’ailleurs. L’analyse du contenu de 850 ressources (manuels, livres, partitions, enregistrements sur CD et vidéos, sites internet et autres ressources électroniques) s’est appuyée sur les critères admis en éducation musicale interculturelle : présence de musiques traditionnelles et région d’origine ; principes de justice sociale, réduction des clichés ethnocentriques ; mise en contexte ; authenticité, arrangements ou métissages ; modes de transmission (partition, oreille ou imitation) ; choix des instruments pour l’interprétation et l’appréciation ; éléments pour guider l’enseignant. Cette analyse a permis de constater que 28,7 pour cent du corpus de départ présente des musiques traditionnelles ou des airs qui en sont inspirés, mais que seulement un dixième remplit tous les critères. Autre constat, plus préoccupant : les musiques d’ici sont sous-représentées, par conséquent les enseignants sont mal outillés pour transmettre ce patrimoine musical.

Published: January 2023

Alternate bearing (AB) is a phenomenon, common in fruit crops, is a concerned plant or branch or orchard does not bear a regular crop year-after-year rather heavy yields are followed by extremely light yield and vice versa. Based on the alternate bearing index, it is divided in four groups viz., no alternation, less alternate, high alternate, severe alternate. There are mainly two factors are responsible for alternate bearing i.e., exogenous and endogenous factors. Alternate bearing can be managed by cultural practices, selection of rootstocks, and selection of cultivars, chemical application and pruning at right time. Scrutiny of all of the factors are presented in this review to achieve consistent success in induction of flowering in perennial fruit crops. The information may pave way for better regulation of flowering shoots to enhanced fruit productivity in various fruit crops.

Published: January 2023

This study investigated the effect of audit committee characteristics on share price reaction of listed Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. Specifically, the study sought to examine the effect of audit committee independence, expertise, size, frequency of meetings and gender diversity on share price reaction of listed DMBs in Nigeria. The study adopted the ex-post facto research design. The study used a sample of 12 DMBs from a population of 14 DMBs listed on the Nigerian Exchange Group using the filtering method. Data were sourced from annual reports and accounts of the sampled DMBs in Nigeria. The study period covered ten (10) years from 2011-2020. Pooled Auto Regressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) Model was used for data analysis. The results of the study suggested that audit committee independence, size, frequency of meetings and gender diversity have a perverse and significant effect on share price reaction of DMBs listed in Nigeria. The result of the study also established that audit committee financial expertise positively but insignificantly affects share price reaction of DMBs listed in Nigeria. The study, therefore, recommended that financial expertise of the audit committee members should be given utmost attention by the board since it exerts a positive effect on share price reaction. This is supported by the requirements of CAMA 2020 which states in section 404 subsection (5) that all audit committee members should be financially literate and at least one of them should be a member of a professional accounting body established by an Act of the Nigerian Parliament. The study also recommended that DMBs should strive to maintain a small audit committee size below the stipulated maximum number of 5 as stipulated by CAMA 2020 for effective performance.

Background: Mothers who give birth to low birth weight or premature babies who are therefore highly delicate may experience shock and depression as a result of having their newborns hospitalised in NICUs. This kind of hospitalisation ruins the family dynamic and throws the parents of these infants into chaos and distress. These difficulties span a variety of domains, including social, economic, physical, and psychological ones. For mothers of preterm infants, there are no support groups where they may talk about their suffering, interact with other women who have similar issues, or share experiences. Overall, whilst the issue of preterm births may be getting worse, the Ghanaian environment does not adequately capture it.
Purpose: This study attempts to analyse the importance of social support system on maternal experiences.
Methods: The study, which targeted women with preterm newborns receiving care at the Northern Regional Hospital, used a descriptive design and was carried out in Tamale Metropolis. The purposive sample strategy was utilised to recruit participants for the study. Face-to-face interviews with participants were conducted using a semi-structured interview guide, and the findings were examined using theme analysis.
Results: The study's conclusions showed that when participants received knowledge on how to care for their preterm baby and were also shown how to offer the caring activities, they became more confident in doing so.
Conclusions: Support from the staff, other newborn mothers, and the participants' families made it easier for them to cope and encouraged bonding. In order to facilitate newborn care and reduce the length of time preterm hospitalised infants spend in the neonatal intensive care units, management should supply enough logistics and supplies to all neonatal intensive care centres.

Published: January 2023

AbstractMolecular doping is a powerful and increasingly popular approach toward enhancing electronic properties of organic semiconductors (OSCs) past their intrinsic limits. The development of n‐type dopants has been hampered, however, by their poor stability and high air‐reactivity, a consequence of their generally electron rich nature. Here, the use of air‐stable carboxylated dopant precursors is reported to overcome this challenge. Active dopants are readily generated in solution by thermal decarboxylation and applied in n‐type organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs). Both 1,3‐dimethylimidazolium‐2‐carboxylate (CO2‐DMI) and novel dopant 1,3‐dimethylbenzimidazolium‐2‐carboxylate (CO2‐DMBI) are applied to n‐type OFETs employing well‐known organic semiconductors (OSCs) P(NDI2OD‐T2), PCBM, and O‐IDTBR. Successful improvement of performance in all devices demonstrates the versatility of the dopants across a variety of OSCs. Experimental and computational studies indicate that electron transfer from the dopant to the host OSC is preceded by decarboxylation of the precursor, followed by dimerization to form the active dopant species. Transistor studies highlight CO2‐DMBI as the most effective dopant, improving electron mobility by up to one order of magnitude, while CO2‐DMI holds the advantage of commercial availability.

Published: January 2023

AbstractWhile calcium‐overload‐mediated therapy (COMT) is a promising but largely untapped therapeutic strategy, combinatory therapy greatly boosts treatment outcomes with integrated merits of different therapies. Herein, a BPQD@CaO2‐PEG‐GPC3Ab nanoplatform is formulated by integrating calcium peroxide (CaO2) and black phosphorus quantum dot (BPQD, photosensitizer) with active‐targeting glypican‐3 antibody (GPC3Ab), for combinatory photodynamic therapy (PDT) and COMT in response to acidic pH and near‐infrared (NIR) light, wherein CaO2serves as the reservoir of calcium ions (Ca2+) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Navigated by GPC3Ab to tumor cells at acidic pH, the nanoparticle disassembles to CaO2and BPQD; CaO2produces COMT Ca2+and H2O2, while H2O2makes oxygen (O2) to promote PDT; under NIR irradiation BPQD facilitates not only the conversion of O2to singlet oxygen (1O2) for PDT, but also moderate hyperthermia to accelerate NP dissociation to CaO2and BPQD, and conversions of CaO2to Ca2+and H2O2, and H2O2to O2, to enhance both COMT and PDT. After supplementary ionomycin treatment to induce intracellular Ca2+bursts, the multimodal therapeutics strikingly induce hepatocellular carcinoma apoptosis, likely through the activation of the calpains and caspases 12, 9, and 3, up‐regulation of Bax and down‐regulation of Bcl‐2 proteins. This nanoplatform enables a mutually‐amplifying and self‐reinforcing synergistic therapy.

Published: January 2023

AbstractDentin is a natural extracellular matrix, but its availability in bone grafting and tissue engineering applications is underestimated due to a lack of proper treatment. In this study, the concept of extrafibrillar demineralization is introduced into the construction of dentin‐derived biomaterials for bone regeneration for the first time. Calcium chelating agents with large molecular weights are used to selectively remove the extrafibrillar apatite minerals without disturbing the intrafibrillar minerals within dentin collagen, resulting in the formation of an extrafibrillarly demineralized dentin matrix (EDM). EDM with distinctive nanotopography and bone‐like mechanical properties is found to significantly promote cell adhesion, migration, and osteogenic differentiation in vitro while enhancing in vivo bone healing of rat calvarial defects. The outstanding osteogenic performance of EDM is further confirmed to be related to the activation of the focal adhesion–cytoskeleton–nucleus mechanotransduction axis. Overall, this study shows that extrafibrillar demineralization of dentin has great potential to produce hierarchical collagen‐based scaffolds for bone regeneration, and this facile top‐down fabrication method brings about new ideas for the biomedical application of naturally derived bioactive materials.

Published: January 2023

AbstractFunctional restoration by the re‐establishment of cellular or neural connections remains a major challenge in targeted cell therapy and regenerative medicine. Recent advances in magnetically powered microrobots have shown potential for use in controlled and targeted cell therapy. In this study, a magnetic neurospheroid (Mag‐Neurobot) that can form both structural and functional connections with an organotypic hippocampal slice (OHS) is assessed using an ex vivo model as a bridge toward in vivo application. The Mag‐Neurobot consists of hippocampal neurons and superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPIONs); it is precisely and skillfully manipulated by an external magnetic field. Furthermore, the results of patch‐clamp recordings of hippocampal neurons indicate that neither the neuronal excitabilities nor the synaptic functions of SPION‐loaded cells are significantly affected. Analysis of neural activity propagation using high‐density multi‐electrode arrays shows that the delivered Mag‐Neurobot is functionally connected with the OHS. The applications of this study include functional verification for targeted cell delivery through the characterization of novel synaptic connections and the functionalities of transported and transplanted cells. The success of the Mag‐Neurobot opens up new avenues of research and application; it offers a test platform for functional neural connections and neural regenerative processes through cell transplantation.

Published: January 2023

AbstractActive fabrics, responding autonomously to environmental changes, are the “Holy Grail” of the development of smart textiles. Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) promise to be the base materials for large‐stroke reversible actuation. The mechanical behavior of LCEs matches almost exactly the human muscle. Yet, it has not been possible to produce filaments from LCEs that will be suitable for standard textile production methods, such as weaving. Based on the recent development of LCE fibers, here, the crafting of active fabrics incorporating LCE yarn, woven on a standard loom, giving control over the weave density and structure, is presented. Two types of LCE yarns (soft and stiff) and their incorporation into several weaving patterns are tested, and the “champions” identified: the twill pattern with stiffer LCE yarn that shows the greatest blocking force of 1–2 N cm−1 , and the weft rib pattern with over 10% reversible actuation strain on repeated heating cycles. Reversible 3D shape changes of active fabric utilize the circular weaving patterns that lead to cone shapes upon heating. The seamless combination of active LCE yarns into the rich portfolio of existing passive yarns can be transformative in creating new stimuli‐responsive actuating textiles.
