Authors: Banarjee Subrata , Sadik Nasif , Sharmin Sumona 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The trafficking of women and girls represents a severe infringement upon fundamental human rights and has exhibited a concerning upward trend in various regions worldwide, including Bangladesh. The study addressed the effect of social class, poverty, empowerment, education and areas of residence for women trafficking in Bangladesh and identified the physical and mental sufferings of the victims. This study employed an exploratory qualitative research design and recruited participants from the Dhaka Metropolitan Area. The sample was selected from the victims who were repatriated from January 2020 to December 2021 by the reputed human rights organization Bangladesh National Women Lawyer Association, Dhaka. To maintain proper ethical guidelines, in-depth interviews were conducted through semi-structured questionnaires. The study's results indicate that women with lower socio-economic status and marginalized positions experience higher victimization. The trafficking of women in Bangladesh is facilitated by a range of factors, including poverty, limited access to education and employment opportunities, weak familial bonds, dysfunctional family dynamics, fraudulent job offers, the use of digital platforms, the presence of organized trafficking syndicates, and a complex nexus of factors in border areas. The study also identified that victims experienced severe physical and psychological maltreatment including sexual assault, coercion, physical abuse, and intravenous drug use. Victims also suffer from psychological trauma including threat, anger, depression, insomnia, vomiting, low self-esteem, self-blaming, and skipping meals. Stigmatization and victim blaming also occurred while they were successfully repatriated to their destination. The study concludes with the policy recommendation that the legal agencies of the state should increase the security and surveillance on the border, ensure the safety and security of the survivors, and provide mental support through service providers.
Host specificity of Cuscuta species: is it a cause or a consequence of the habitat preference?
Authors: Baráth Kornél , Lengyel Attila , Csiky János 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Aims
The genus Cuscuta comprises nearly 200 parasitic plant species. Sympatric Cuscuta species are considered to occur in different habitat types. We investigated the reasons for the observed habitat preference addressing the following questions: Can host specificity explain the habitat preference? Can soil characteristics influence habitat preference?

Methods
We sampled 543 vegetation plots and collected 56 soil samples from the habitats of C. europaea, C. campestris, C. epithymum, C. lupuliformis, and C. australis in Hungary. The percent cover, maximum height, and parasitism status of each species were recorded in every plot. The species composition and soil parameters of the habitats were compared using multivariate data analysis.

Results
Habitats of the examined parasites significantly differed from each other based on species number and composition, as well as vegetation cover and height. However, species compositions in the habitat of the same Cuscuta species also varied considerably in different localities. We also found that the host range of the same Cuscuta species differed greatly in different locations. None of the dodders had any essential host species without which they could not survive and develop. Additionally, the habitats of the examined Cuscuta species significantly differed from each other based on soil conditions.

Conclusion
Host specificity alone does not explain the strong preference of these host generalist parasites for certain habitats. Rather, the complex system of biotic and abiotic factors, including the mineral composition of the soil, determines the habitats of dodders.
The crafting for stress management coaching (CSMC) program
Authors: Kovács Dániel , Vikoler Thomas , Traut-Mattausch Eva 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In this article, we present a newly created coaching concept, which is derived from central work health models as well as previous forms of cognitive-behavioral and stress-related coachings. Our coaching program’s main goal is to enable the coachee to deal with stress in a more positive way by creating job crafting habits that allow to proactively change either job demands, job resources, or both. The said change should lead to a decrease in distress and an increase in eustress in the following. We explain the process and accompanying exercises so that the herein presented strategies can provide the best possible support in both the attainment of the coachee’s goals as well as their stress management. The description of the Crafting for Stress Management Coaching (CSMC) program follows its in-use structure by outlining each of the five sessions in detail. Future trends such as Ecological Momentary Assessments (EMAs) and Just-In-Time-Adaptive-Interventions (JITAIs) are discussed to provide a long-term outlook in terms of how the coachee can be supported more efficiently during the coaching process itself as well as after it has ended.
Comparative analysis of aromatic compounds steam reforming over Rh supported on γ-Al2O3

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The steam reforming of bio-oil can provide a sustainable means to produce hydrogen, while tar steam reforming can significantly enhance the efficiency of the biomass gasification process. Bio-oils and tars are highly complex mixtures, and while there has been extensive research on the reforming of small oxygenates and aliphatic hydrocarbons, there have been comparatively much less studies on aromatics reforming. In the current work, we present a comparative study of the steam reforming of hydroquinone, benzyl alcohol and toluene, selected as model compounds of the aromatic fraction of bio-oils and tars with different functional groups. The effect of temperature, partial pressure of reactants, and contact time is studied over a Rh catalyst supported on γ-Al2O3. Across the range of conditions studied, hydroquinone is found to be more reactive, followed by benzyl alcohol, and, lastly, toluene. The differences are attributed to the presence of hydroxyl groups in the case of the former two compounds, versus a methyl group in the case of toluene, effectively correlating activity with the O/C ratio in the compounds’ molecule. Nonetheless, similar pathways are observed, with methane, benzene, naphthalene and toluene (during hydroquinone and benzyl alcohol reforming) detected as products in addition to carbon oxides and hydrogen.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background
Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is increasingly offered to patients who have undergone lung resection for non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) as it can improve exercise tolerance and quality of life. However, designing and implementing such a complex multidisciplinary programme has its challenges.

Objective
This study aims to explore perspectives of patients offered PR services post-lung resection for NSCLC to gain an understanding of the potential barriers and facilitators behind implementing and designing PR programmes.

Methods
The PR programmes were offered in an outpatient rehabilitation gym at University Hospital Limerick, Ireland. Patients attending routine follow-up appointments post-lung cancer resection during the period of the study were identified and based on inclusion criteria were invited to participate in semi-structured interviews (focus groups). Interviews with patients who participated in the PR programme (n = 8) and those who declined (n = 4) were transcribed and major themes identified using normalisation process theory (NPT analysis) before interpretation of the themes in context.

Results
Across 4 focus groups that were conducted, the important barriers identified were the presence of comorbidities, location, perceived lack of benefit, and a fear of causing harm. Relevant facilitators included the prospect of acquiring new knowledge, optional access to psychological support, peer interaction/social support, individualised, tailored programmes, and a holistic approach to recovery as well as goal setting and accomplishment.

Conclusions
Patient participation in PR has been shown to be influenced by both external and intrapersonal variables. The barriers and facilitators experienced by the patients in this study contribute to the existing knowledge of the patient experience of pulmonary rehabilitation and can help to inform clinical practice and future research.
Impact of information disparity between individual investors on profits of meme stocks using an artificial market simulation approach
Authors: Matsumoto Miyuki , Hashimoto Ryuji , Suzuki Masahiro , Murayama Yuri , Izumi Kiyoshi 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The growth of social media recently has made individual investors more reliant on online media for information. This trend significantly affects investor behavior and information disparity. For instance, social media can lead to the phenomenon of “meme stocks," in which stock prices rapidly rise and fall. Despite increasing interest in meme stocks, few studies have focused on the information disparity. In this study, we model meme stocks focusing on investors who are influenced by social network information, leading to information spread. We combine the Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (SIR) model with a network model in an artificial market simulation to examine information disparity among individual investors. Our findings show that conventional investors generally profit, whereas social media investors incur losses. Additionally, the profits of social media investors are heavily affected by their network structure and their network distance from the information source. The results highlight the issue of information inequality in financial markets and offer important guidance for policymakers.

Abstract
The increased contamination of potentially toxic element (PTE) has posed remarkable ecological risks to environment. Application of functionalized biochar for the remediation of PTE contaminated water and soils are of great concern, and effective strategies are urgently needed to enhance the removal capacity of biochar for PTE. As a novel surface modification technology, the effect of layered double hydroxides (LDH) and sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS) on the remediation capacity of biochar for PTE polluted soils and water remains unclear. Sawdust biochar (SB) was coated with Mg and Fe to synthesize the Mg-Fe-LDH functionalized biochar (MFB); thereafter, the MFB was mixed with SDS solution to synthesize the organic-Mg-Fe-LDH biochar (MSB). The potential of SB, MFB, and MSB for remediation of Cd and Pb contaminated soil and water was evaluated in terms of adsorption capacity, immobilization efficiency, and stability. Loading of Mg-Fe-LDH into SB, along with SDS treatment created a regular micro-nano hierarchical structure and enhanced the surface roughness, aromaticity, and hydrophobicity of MSB as compared to SB. MSB exhibited a significantly higher maximum adsorption capacity (mg g−1) for water Pb (405.2) and Cd (673.0) than MFB (335.9 for Pb and 209.0 for Cd) and SB (178.2 for Pb and 186.1 for Cd). MSB altered the soluble fraction of Cd/Pb to the residual fraction and thus significantly decreased their mobilization in soil. The higher removal/immobilization efficiency of MSB could be attributed to its alkalinity, and the enhanced synergistic interactions including surface precipitation, ion exchange, complexation, and hydrogen bonding. The resistance to carbon loss by H2O2, thermal recalcitrance index R
50, and degree of graphitization in MSB were significantly improved compared to SB, indicating a more stable carbon fraction sequestered in MSB following aging in soil. These results indicate that MSB could be used for remediation of Cd and Pb contaminated soil and water.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The fourth annual conference of the Norwegian Network for Implementation Research (NIMP) was held on January 31st, 2024, in Oslo, Norway. This year’s conference focused on the role of context in implementation and called for innovations, methods, and practices that address and integrate contextual considerations in their implementation research and practice. A total of 137 people attended, and a majority attended for the first time. There was diversity in professional roles, and an increase in practice-oriented professions compared to past conferences. The conference program comprised three invited keynote speakers, Professor Aaron Lyon, Professor Henna Hasson, and Professor Gregory Aarons, twelve parallel session presentations, and eight poster presentations. The majority of presentations focused on understanding and/or explaining factors influencing implementation outcomes (n = 14), while fewer focused on describing and/or guiding the process of translating research into practice (n = 7) or evaluating implementation initiatives (n = 6). About half of the presentations were from implementation research, and the other half were from implementation practice or integrations of research and practice, indicating that the conference serves to connect implementation researchers and practitioners. In line with the call for abstracts, the role of context in implementation, approaches for community collaboration, and systems thinking were topics in several presentations, indicative of developments towards context-minded and systemic approaches to implementation in Norway. The conference saw little methodological work related to implementation measures and, similar to previous conferences, limited rigorous evaluations of implementation effectiveness and impact. NIMP should consider efforts to advocate for such studies to facilitate further advancement of implementation science and practice in Norway.
Experimental study on pressure relief blasting in rock-blast tunnel
Authors: Chen ZhenLin , Cai Wenjing , Wei Meng , Rutherford Cassandra J. , Zhu Xiao , Wang Zelin , Su Tao 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Rock burst is a difficult and urgent problem during the construction process of underground engineering in a zone with high surrounding rock pressure. Pressure relief blasting is one of the most effective methods for solving the problem. An in-situ blasting test was carried out in a tunnel under excavation, and the geology stress (geo-stress) of the surrounding rock was tested before and after the pressure relief blasting. The experimental results will be effective for further study of the law of pressure relief blasting and rock-burst prediction. An explicit stress analytic function is also employed to analyze the stress distribution of the tunnel surrounding rock after pressure relief blasting based on the propagation of the blasting stress wave. Furthermore, the stress attenuation coefficient and the variation of the geo-stress distribution of surrounding rock under the pressure relief blasting were discussed in detail with the in-situ blasting test data. Highlights. The main contribution of this paper is focused on: 1. This study measures the in-situ geo-stress of surrounding rock in the ‘Sang zhu ling’ tunnel, both before and after the pressure relief blasting. This data is crucial for ensuring the safety resilience of urban infrastructure. 2. A two-dimensional explicit equation of stress attenuation was derived based on the characteristics of stress propagation, providing a more accurate analytical tool for engineers and researchers, 3. The traditionally obtained stress attenuation coefficient is shown to require modification through further in-situ experiments. Future studies will refine this coefficient, contributing to the development of more reliable methods for safeguarding urban lifelines. These contributions align with the journal’s focus on advancing urban science and engineering by promoting innovative, data-driven solutions for urban safety.
Numerical analysis of the impact of release timing on trajectory in internal store separation
Authors: Türk S. , Güleren K.M. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This study investigates the influence of release timing on the trajectory of internal store separation through numerical solutions of continuity, momentum, energy equations and six degrees of freedom equations in a coupled manner. The internal store separation process in advanced fighter aircraft is analysed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and six degrees of freedom equations of motion. Initially, the equations of motion are validated by reenacting the Eglin Air Force Base study, an external store separation example with documented experimental results. Subsequently, validation is extended to the M219 cavity problem. In the internal store separation analysis, a cavity with an L/D ratio of 5, a freestream velocity of 0.85 Mach, and a generic store are utilised. Detached eddy simulation (DES) is applied using both static and dynamic mesh techniques in all numerical solutions. The generic store, positioned within a clean cavity with a 90-degree flap angle, was released at two distinct times, corresponding to the points of maximum and minimum gravitational forces. Interestingly, the results show that releasing the store when the normal force acting on it is at its maximum does not necessarily provide an optimal separation. Specifically, when the force coefficient was at its maximum (0.14), the store collided with the cavity door flap after 0.171465 seconds. In contrast, when the force coefficient was at its minimum (-0.04), the store contacted the cavity door after 0.170295 seconds at the same location. Despite the differences in force magnitudes, the trajectories were nearly identical, suggesting that the timing of the release may not have a significant effect on preventing collision. This further emphasises the need for flow control methods to ensure safe and effective store separation.
Probability that n points are in convex position in a regular κ-gon: Asymptotic results
Authors: Morin Ludovic 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Let

$\mathbb{P}_\kappa(n)$

be the probability that n points

$z_1,\ldots,z_n$

picked uniformly and independently in

$\mathfrak{C}_\kappa$

, a regular

-gon with area 1, are in convex position, that is, form the vertex set of a convex polygon. In this paper, we compute

$\mathbb{P}_\kappa(n)$

up to asymptotic equivalence, as

$n\to+\infty$

, for all

$\kappa\geq 3$

, which improves on a famous result of Bárány (Ann. Prob.27, 1999). The second purpose of this paper is to establish a limit theorem which describes the fluctuations around the limit shape of an n-tuple of points in convex position when

$n\to+\infty$

. Finally, we give an asymptotically exact algorithm for the random generation of

$z_1,\ldots,z_n$

, conditioned to be in convex position in

Adding Regularized Horseshoes to the Dynamics of Latent Variable Models
Authors: Binding Garret , Koc Piotr 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Dynamic latent variable models generally link units’ positions on a latent dimension over time via random walks. Theoretically, these trajectories are often expected to resemble a mixture of periods of stability interrupted by moments of change. In these cases, a prior distribution such as the regularized horseshoe—that allows for both stasis and change—can prove a better theoretical and empirical fit for the underlying construct than other priors. Replicating Reuning, Kenwick, and Fariss (2019), we find that the regularized horseshoe performs better than the standard normal and the Student’s t-distribution when modeling dynamic latent variable models. Overall, the use of the regularized horseshoe results in more accurate and precise estimates. More broadly, the regularized horseshoe is a promising prior for many similar applications.
Iconicity of grammatical tonal polarity and reduplication in Nigerian Pidgin
Authors: Akinbo Samuel Kayode 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This work focuses on a pattern of tonal alternation that is intertwined with a pattern of reduplication in Nigerian Pidgin. In the language, verbs are reduplicated to iconically express iteration. To convey that the iterated event occurs in an irregular or dispersive manner, the verb bears a low tone (L) on all its tone-bearing units (TBU), while the reduplicant bears a high tone (H) on all its TBUs. The resulting L-H tonal melody is considered the exponent of an irregular marker, while the intertwined reduplication is considered the exponent of an iteration marker. Due to the similarity between the exponent of the irregular marker and the iconic tonal melody of ideophones that express the semantic notions of irregularity across languages, the form-meaning mapping of the irregular marker is regarded as a grammaticalised form of the tone melody in the substrate ideophones. This suggests that ideophones can contribute to the emergence and expansion of grammar, as well as the typology of grammatical tone. Considering that perceptual resemblance between linguistic structures and the structural components of real-world elements is the basis of iconicity, the pattern of tonal alternation in Nigerian Pidgin suggests that the notion of perceptual motivation in linguistic theory is not purely phonetic and phonological but also includes the crossmodal perception of sensory imagery.
