Mindfulness-based coaching: Conceptualisation, supporting evidence and emerging applications
Authors: Virgili Mario 
Published: January 2023

Purpose:The present paper reviews the scholarly literature on mindfulness and coaching and explores the potential contributions to coaching psychology of empirically supported intervention approaches that are based on or incorporate mindfulness concepts or practices.Method:The main psychological mindfulness intervention approaches are described and their effects with non-clinical populations are reviewed. Evidence is then documented to suggest emerging applications of mindfulness interventions to coaching psychology.Results:The evidence reviewed suggests that mindfulness may enhance the well-being and effectiveness of coaches who have a personal practice of mindfulness; improves the well-being and psychological functioning of clients who are taught mindfulness skills; offers a rich repertoire of evidence-based techniques and strategies for facilitating change; and may contribute to theoretical base of coaching psychology, particularly with regards to understanding the process of individual change.Conclusions:This paper makes suggestions for coaching practitioners, discusses practical guidelines for integrating mindfulness into the practice of coaching, and makes recommendations for future research.
Increasing leaders’ self-concept-clarity in the authentic leadership coaching group
Authors: Fusco Tony , O’Riordan Siobhain , Palmer Stephen 
Published: January 2023

Introduction:It is suggested that authentic leaders can be distinguished by four self-related characteristics: ‘the salience of the leadership role in their self-concept, the level of self-concept clarity, the extent to which their goals are self-concordant, and the degree to which their behaviour is consistent with their self-concept’ (Shamir & Eilam, 2005, p.399). The aim of this research was to establish if and how authentic leadership group-coaching impacts a leader’s self-concept and self-concept clarity.Design:25 senior leaders participated in one of five authentic leadership coaching groups run over a two-year period. Each group met one day a month over three months to discuss how their past/present/future domains influence their leadership practice. The Self-Concept Clarity Scale (Campbell, Trapnell, Heine, Katz, Lavalle & Lehman, 1996) was administered at the beginning of day one and at the end of day three to see if there was any difference between pre-coaching and post-coaching scores.Results:Paired sample t-tests were conducted on the questionnaire data and results showed both statistical significance (p<.001) and a large Cohen effect size (d=1.01).Conclusion:This paper considers the relevance of the self-concept in the context of authentic leadership development and the results suggest that authentic leadership group-coaching works at a sufficiently deep level to increase participant’s self-concept-clarity. It examines how group-coaching can help individual’s achieve a greater clarity of their self-concept and proposes a combination of social psychology theories to explain why this group format may be so effective.

Published: January 2023

Se realizaron excavaciones en el patio del Cuartel General de Bomberos de Santiago con el objetivo de localizar restos arquitectónicos y artefactuales de la presencia inca en el sector de Plaza de Armas, de la ciudad de Santiago. Se encontró evidencia cerámica de ocupación Tawantinsuyu en distintos niveles, los que aparecieron mezclados con restos coloniales, situación que impidió determinar si correspondieron a restos prehispánicos, contemporáneos a los primeros conquistadores españoles o a ambos.
Con respecto a las ocupaciones coloniales, las excavaciones efectuadas entregaron material colonial coherente con la información documental registrada para los propietarios de las manzanas colindantes a la Plaza Mayor, a saber, gente de la clase alta de origen hispano, representada por mercaderes, militares de alto rango y autoridades (gobernadores). La presencia de restos de bienes de lujo, como porcelana china, mayólica, vidrio europeo, vestimentas de lujo (presencia de botones de bronce) y adornos apoyaron esta presunción. Los restos óseos indicaron que la carne consumida era mayoritariamente cabra, seguida por algunas aves de corral.
Durante los siglos posteriores, el sector siguió siendo utilizado por personas de la elite santiaguina, a juzgar por la elevada presencia de bienes de prestigio. Finalmente, los restos de un acueducto abovedado confirmaron que la propiedad estuvo inserta en las medidas sanitarias de mediados del siglo XIX.

Quality seed, water, labour scarcity, rising cost of cultivation, diminishing farm profits and indecisive weather conditions are major challenges faced by the farmers under intensive tillage based conventional rice-wheat productionsystem of eastern Indo-Gangetic plains (IGP). To address these challenges from last few years, conservation agriculture (CA) based crop management practices are being developed, demonstrated and promoted in the region. The fieldexperiments were carried out during the winter (rabi) season of 2012-13 and 2013-14 at Indian Institute of Seed Science, Kushmaur, Mau, Uttar Pradesh to evaluate the effect of different tillage practices and genotypes on yield attributes, seed yield, seed quality, and economics of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Experiment was laid out in split-plot design consisting of 3 tillage systems, viz. Zero tillage (ZT), conventional tillage (CT) and raised beds (RB) as main-plots and 6 genotypes (KRL 213, HD 2733, PBW 550, HD 2967, KRL 210 and DBW 39) as sub-plots treatments and replicated thrice. Results revealed that among the tillage methods, the highest mean seed and biological yield (4.82 and 10.36 tonnes/ha) were found under ZT followed by CT (4.68 and 10.25 tonnes/ha) and least in RB (3.34 and 7.61tonnes/ha), respectively. Among the genotypes, HD 2967 showed significantly higher mean seed and biological yield (4.72 and 10.28 tonnes/ha) over KRL 210 (3.76 and 8.92 tonnes/ha), PBW 550 (4.10 and 8.95 tonnes/ha) and HD 2733 (4.24 and 9.48 tonnes/ha), respectively. However, genotypes KRL 213 (4.46 and 9.88 tonnes/ha) and DBW 39 (4.42 and 9.42 tonnes/ha) were found on par with HD 2967. The highest tillers/m2 as well as effective tillers/m2 was recorded under ZT system with HD 2967 genotype. However, the highest seeds/spike, spike length and test weightwere found under RB system with genotype HD 2967. There were no significant differences between the tillage systems concerning seed quality parameters, viz. germination %, seedling length, seedling dry weight, vigour index I and II. Moreover, the genotype HD 2967 showed significant difference among all seed quality parameters except germination (%) which was on par with HD 2733, KRL 213 and PBW 550. The maximum mean net returns was recorded under ZT (Rupees 75 500/ha) followed by CT (Rupees 65 600/ha) and RB (Rupees 41 100/ha). The total net gain in income due to adoption of ZT system wasÂ Rupees 17 300 andÂ Rupees 39 400/ha as compared to CT and RB, respectively.
Interpolative fuzzy Z-contraction with its application to Fredholm non-linear integral equation
Authors: Jain Shobha , Radenovic Stojan 
Published: January 2023

The aim of this paper is to introduce the notion of interpolative fuzzy Z-contractive condition for a pair of self maps in a fuzzy metric space, which enlarges, unifies and generalizes the existing fuzzy contractions (by Gregori and Sapena [6]), ψ contraction (by Mihet [11]), fuzzy Z-contractions (by Shukla et al. [21]) and Tirado contraction (by Tirado [22]), which are for only one self map. Using this, we establish a unique common fixed point theorem for two self maps satisfying condition (S), which was introduced by Shukla et al. in [21] through weak compatibility. As an applications, we discuss fixed point theorem for Fredholm non-linear integral equation. The article also includes an example, which shows the validity of our results.

Authors: Ballico Edoardo 
Published: January 2023

Let F⊂ P2× P2v be the 3-dimensional flag. Let π1 F→ P2 and π2 F→ P2v be the projections. For all u,v ∈N\{(0,0)} let M(u,v) denote the set of all curves π1-1(F) ∪ π2-1(E) such that π1-1(F) ∩ π2-1(E)=∅, #F=v and #E=u. Any A∈ M(u,v) has u+v connected components, all of them smooth and rational and embedded as lines by the Segre embedding of F⊂ P2× P2v. In this paper we study the bigraded Hilbert function H0(IA(a,b)), (a,b)∈N2, for a general A∈M(u,v). We also give geometric properties of IA(a,b) (spannedness and a uniqueness result for non-general A∈ M(u,v)).

In this paper, we establish some inequalities for a more general class of polynomials P(S(z)), where P(z) = ∑ ajzj and S(z) = ∑ bjzj of degree n and m respectively. These results not only generalize the results due to Dubinin [ J. Math. Sci., 143 (2007), 3069-3076] but also refine a result due to Shah and Liman [ NFAA, 9(2004), 223-232].

Published: January 2023

This study aim to determine why high secondary and higher secondary school students are losing their interest in Chemistry. This comparative study polled 450 secondary and higher secondary school students from a private institute of Karachi East. Descriptive analysis was done Using SPSS, result showed that secondary school (grade 10) and higher secondary school (grade 11) students are less interested in chemistry but grade 12 students acted inconsistently. Most students of grade 12 were delighted with grade 11 chemistry's numerical-based themes, while others struggled with equations and IUPAC names in second year. The study began with interviews of first-year students (grade 11), only 10 out of 450 interviewees named chemistry as their favorite subject. Students find chemistry to be a tough subject and not career-related. Personal trait and choice decreased pupils' interest in Chemistry. Students believe that atomic structure, electron location, reaction mechanism, and orbital forms are hypothetical, making it harder to understand. They find experimental chemistry more intriguing because they can see what they are doing. The board syllabus experiments have distinct subjects from the theory syllabus. Audio-visual tools for conceptual learning, trained chemistry teachers, and seminars on "the professional scope of Chemistry courses" might assist improve students' interest in chemistry.
Redefining the Margins: Intertextual and Secondary Characters in Children’s historical novels.
Authors: Angelaki Rosy Triantafyllia 
Published: January 2023

The historical novel for children is the kind of Literature that transmits to young readers the historical knowledge in a pleasant and easy way, thanks to its entertaining and recreational character. The fictional heroes in most children's historical novels are social examples for the young readers, who adopt behaviors and motivations through observation. Additionally, the postmodern attestation of History as narration, with the appointment of microhistory - which is favored when the psychography of fictional heroes is on the forthground and when historical facts are interpreted from different perspectives and under various visual angles - spur many writers to provide marginal characters with space as well as speech.
Bearing in mind that the byzantine era is a common subject in Children’s Literature and contemporary novelists try to educate children and at the same time bring out Byzantium's charm either by highlighting neglected historic events or by examining already known faces and facts from a fresh angle and given the fact that the concept of intertextuality in literature is a way to build up interpretive communities among young readers, this paper examines Greek writer’s, Penelope Maximos, five historical novels for children entitled as In the years of Alexios Komninos, (Stochastis, 1984), The first crusaders in Byzantium; 1096-1099 AD (Stochastis, 1989), Emmanouil Komninos. The knight emperor (Stochastis, 1990), The downfall of Thessaloniki. In the years of Andronikos Komninos (Stochastis, 1987) and Close to Athenais (Astir, 1972). More specifically, we will focus on the way Maximos attempted to make “visible” fictional characters who were until recently considered of less or least importance; Minors and adults who were being oppresed during the Byzantine era, such as slaves, suddenly become protagonists surrounding historic characters and, thanks to their presence, make the plot roll smoothly. In this paper will be also pointed out the way the writer chose to present to young readers female characters and their efforts not only to express their emotions freely, but also to interfere with Byzantine society and fight for their rights, in order to point out to the juvenile readers paths, thoughts and life idealism.

BackgroundTurtle vocalizations play an important role throughout their lives by expressing individual information (position, emotion, or physiological status), reflecting mating preferences, and synchronizing incubation. The Chinese striped-neck turtle (Mauremys sinensis) is one of the most widely distributed freshwater turtles in China, whose wild population is critically endangered. However, its vocalization has not been studied, which can be the basis for behavioral and ecological studies.MethodsFive different sex–age groups of turtles were recorded underwater in a soundproof room. Cluster analysis and principal component analysis for classification of Chinese striped-neck turtle calls were unreasonable. The turtle calls were manually sought using visual and aural inspection of the recordings in Raven Pro 1.5 software and classified according to differences perceived through auditory inspection and the morphological characteristics of the spectrograms. The results of similarity analysis verified the reliability of manual classification. We compared the peak frequency of the calls among different age and sex groups.ResultsWe identified tenM. sinensiscall types, displayed their spectra and waveforms, and described their auditory characteristics. Most calls produced by the turtles were low-frequency. Some high-frequency call types, that are common in other turtle species were also produced. Similar to other turtles, the Chinese striped-neck turtle generates harmonic vocalizations. Courtship behaviors were observed when one of the call types occurred in the mixed-sex group. Adult females produced more high-frequency call types, and subadult males had higher vocalizations than other groups. These results provide a basis for future research on the function of vocalizations, field monitoring, and conservation of this species.

AbstractProstate‐specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a cell surface protein highly expressed in nearly all prostate cancers, with restricted expression in some normal tissues. The differential expression of PSMA from tumor to non‐tumor tissue has resulted in the investigation of numerous targeting strategies for therapy of patients with metastatic prostate cancer. In March of 2022, the FDA granted approval for the use of lutetium‐177 PSMA‐617 (Lu‐177‐PSMA‐617) for patients with PSMA‐positive metastatic castration‐resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have been treated with androgen receptor pathway inhibition and taxane‐based chemotherapy. Therefore, the use of Lu‐177‐PSMA‐617 is expected to increase and become more widespread. Herein, we describe logistical, technical, and radiation safety considerations for implementing a radiopharmaceutical therapy program, with particular focus on the development of operating procedures for therapeutic administrations. Major steps for a center in the U.S. to implement a new radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) program are listed below, and then demonstrated in greater detail via examples for Lu‐177‐PSMA‐617 therapy.
A Magneto‐Responsive Hydrogel System for the Dynamic Mechano‐Modulation of Stem Cell Niche

Published: January 2023

AbstractThe biophysical microenvironment of cells dynamically evolves during embryonic development, leading to defined tissue specification. A versatile and highly adaptive magneto‐responsive hydrogel system composed of magnetic nanorods (MNRs) and a stress‐responsive polymeric matrix is developed to dynamically regulate the physical stem cell niche. The anisotropic magnetic/shape factor of nanorods is utilized to maximize the strains on the polymeric network, thus regulating the hydrogel modulus in a physiologically relevant range under a minimal magnitude of the applied magnetic fields below 4.5 mT. More significantly, the pre‐alignment of MNRs induces greater collective strains on the polymeric network, resulting in a superior stiffening range, over a 500% increase as compared to that with randomly oriented nanorods. The pre‐alignment of nanorods also enables a fast and reversible response under a magnetic field of the opposite polarity as well as spatially controlled heterogeneity of modulus within the hydrogel by applying anisotropic magnetic fields. The mechano‐modulative capability of this system is validated by a mechanotransduction model with human‐induced pluripotent stem cells where the locally controlled hydrogel modulus regulates the activation of mechano‐sensitive signaling mediators and subsequent stem cell differentiation. Therefore, this magneto‐responsive hydrogel system provides a platform to investigate various cellular behaviors under dynamic mechanical microenvironments.

AbstractNon‐contact human‐machine interaction is the future trend for wearable technologies. This demand is recently highlighted by the pandemic of coronavirus disease (COVID‐19). Herein, an anti‐fatigue and highly conductive hydrogel thermocell with photo‐thermal conversion ability for non‐contact self‐powering applications is designed. Double hydrogen‐bonding enhanced supramolecular hydrogel is obtained with N‐acryloyl glycinamide (NAGA) and diacrylate capped Pluronic F68 (F68‐DA) via one‐step photo‐initiated polymerization. The supramolecular hydrogel can accommodate saturated electrolytes to fulfill the triple function of ionic crosslinking, heat‐to‐electricity conversion, and light response of thermocell. Eminently, the thermocell stands out by virtue of its high seebeck coefficient (‐2.17 mV K−1) and extraordinary toughness (Fatigue threshold ≈ 3120 J m−2). The self‐powering ability under the control of light heating is explored, and a model of a non‐contact “light‐remoted” sensor with self‐powered and sensing integrated performance remote‐controlled by light is constructed. It is believed that this study will pave the way for the non‐contact energy supply of wearable devices.

AbstractPhotoactivated Reversible Deactivation Radical Polymerization (RDRP) technologies have emerged very recently in the field of 3D printing systems especially at the macroscale in vat‐photopolymerization‐based processes such as digital light processing (DLP). Contrary to conventional free radical photopolymerization, photoRDRP in 3D printing leads to 3D objects with living character and thus confers them the unique ability to be post‐modified after fabrication. While 3D direct laser writing (3D DLW) by two photon polymerization has become a standard for fabrication of complex 3D micro‐objects, the use of RDRP and its associated benefits has so far been under‐investigated at that scale. Herein, a photoresist suitable for 3D DLW based on nitroxide mediated photopolymerization (NMP2) is developed. The photopolymerization efficiency for fabrication of micro‐structures and their subsequent post‐modification are investigated regarding the laser power and the wavelength of excitation. Moreover, highly tunable, precise, and successive surface patterning of 2D and 3D multi‐material microstructures are demonstrated thanks to the spatial and temporal control offered by the photo‐induced post‐modification. This work highlights new directions to be explored in order to accelerate the adoption of RDRP in 3D printing based on photopolymerization.
