Abstract
Purpose
The aim of the present study was to co-design Healthy Living after Cancer Online (HLaC Online), an online intervention supporting cancer survivors to set and meet their healthy living goals.

Methods
Adapted from an initial telephone-delivered Healthy Living after Cancer program, wireframes (PDF black and white mock-ups) of the proposed online program were presented in a series of focus groups and interviews to our stakeholder group, which consisted of cancer survivors, oncology healthcare professionals, and representatives from cancer support organisations. Stakeholders were prompted for feedback on the wireframe and given end-user scenarios to encourage deeper engagement with the co-design process. Transcriptions underwent thematic analysis to determine which features of the program needed change or expansion.

Results
27 participants took part in one of 8 focus groups or 10 interviews. Five themes were identified relating to (a) website design elements, (b) promoting and maintaining long-term engagement, (c) relatability and relevance, (d) navigating professional support, and (e) family and peer support. Recommended changes, such as simple activities and guidance videos, were integrated into the HLaC Online prototype.

Conclusions
Involving end-users in the co-design process ensured the intervention’s relevance and specificity to the needs of cancer survivors. Next steps include feasibility testing the prototype, prior to commencing a national randomised control trial of HLaC Online.

Implications for Cancer Survivors
HLaC Online aims to support cancer survivors to improve their quality of life by making healthy lifestyle changes in their physical activity, healthy eating, weight management, mental health, and fatigue management.
Same but different? A qualitative analysis of the influence of COVID-19 on law enforcement and organized crime in Germany
Authors: Schreier Sarah , Leimbach Katharina 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Criminological research on COVID-19 and its repercussions on crimes, criminals and law enforcement agencies is still in its infancy. This paper fills that void with regard to the influence of COVID-19 on organized crime and the work of law enforcement agencies’ investigations of organized crime in Germany by presenting empirical findings from a nationwide qualitative interview study. Through the methodological combination of Grounded Theory and Situational Analysis, we find three central narratives (us vs. them, nationalization vs. internationalization, conservatism vs. innovation) that were provided by law enforcement personnel in terms of the way in which COVID-19 influenced both organized crime groups and their work in the investigation thereof. Following a reflexive approach, the implications of COVID-19 on the research process itself are also discussed.
Reactivity as a tool in emancipatory activist research
Authors: Koskinen Inkeri 
Published: November 2022

AbstractReactivity is usually seen as a problem in the human sciences. In this paper I argue that in emancipatory activist research, reactivity can be an important tool. I discuss one example: the aim of mental decolonisation in indigenous activist research. I argue that mental decolonisation can be understood as the act of replacing harmful looping effects with new, emancipatory ones.

Published: November 2022

AbstractCement sheath is an annular structure situated between casing and formation, which is designed to seal the formation and reinforce the borehole. However, owing to the surface irregularity and drilling mud residue, the interface between the cement sheath and the formation is one of the weakest parts for fluid leakage causing well integrity issues, which would also affect the reliability of the cement bond logs. To evaluate the cementation state and tensile properties of the cement-formation interface, rock-cement composite disc specimens are prepared, considering key factors such as lithology, interface irregularity, treatment of oil-based drilling mud contamination, and flushing fluid washing. Flushing efficiency of the drilling mud contaminated rock surface, interface cementation characteristic, referenced tensile strength, and tensile fracture morphology are acquired and analysed comparatively. Results show that (1) the flushing efficiencies of shale and sandstone are 74.1 ~ 61.9% and 52.4 ~ 28.4%, respectively, decreasing with the increase in surface irregularity. (2) The rock-cement interface gradually becomes poorly cemented as the surface cleanliness decreasing and the irregularity increasing. (3) Under the condition of drilling fluid contamination, there exists a transitional area at the cemented interface, where microcracks and pores are developed. (4) With the influence of drilling mud contamination, the referenced tensile strengths of shale-cement and sandstone-cement interfaces drop from 2.716 to 0.586 MPa and from 2.840 to 0.007 MPa, respectively. The effects of underground temperature and pressure environment are not particularly considered in this study and would be investigated systematically in future research.

AbstractCurrent measures mainly focus on how melatonin reduces physiological heat stress in animals, but its effects on reproductive damage to male dairy goats have been neglected. This study aimed to determine the protective effect of melatonin on male reproduction during heat stress in dairy goats and to further explore its mechanisms. A natural heat stress model of Saanen dairy goats was used to assess testicular tissue damage 7 days after heat stress and to examine semen quality changes during a spermatogenic cycle. RNA-seq, Western blot, RT–qPCR, and immunofluorescence staining were used to explore the mechanism by which melatonin protects against heat stress-induced reproductive damage and to validate the results. The data suggested that melatonin significantly alleviated the heat stress-induced decrease in sperm quality, protected varicose tubule structure, reduced the levels of heat shock proteins and apoptotic proteins and protected the spermatocytes and round spermatozoa, which are mainly affected by heat stress. RNA-seq results suggest that melatonin inhibits the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, reduces the level of p-AKT, and promotes elevated BCL-2. In addition, melatonin treatment could upregulate the gene expression of MT2 which was downregulated by heat stress and improve the change in extracellular matrix components and restore serum testosterone levels. Our results suggest that melatonin can protect against testicular and spermatogenic cell damage and improve semen quality in male dairy goats under heat stress. This study provides an important reference for subsequent studies on the molecular mechanisms of melatonin in protecting male reproductive processes under heat stress and using exogenous melatonin to prevent heat stress.
Relationship between emotional intelligence and self-efficacy among college students: the mediating role of coping styles
Authors: Sun Guifang , Lyu Bei 
Published: November 2022

AbstractNumerous studies have shown that college students have a lot of bad emotions due to their special status. Bad emotions cause many conflicts in college students’ lives and studies, resulting in a decrease in the quality of life and studies. However, few studies have examined the influence of the ability of self-regulation of emotions on the ability of college students to deal with daily life events. To explore the specific effects of emotional intelligence of college students’ self-control and social interactions on self-efficacy in terms of their ability to cope with stress, we explored the link between emotional intelligence and self-efficacy and the mediating role of coping styles on both. In this study, we recruited 800 Chinese university students for a questionnaire survey using a random sampling method. We only obtained a valid sample of 717 (M = 18.88, SD = 1.61). Each participant completed a series of questionnaires, including the Sentiment Scale, Self-Efficacy Scale, and Coping Style Scale. Afterwards, data analysis was conducted using SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 22.0 to develop structural equation models. The results showed that emotional intelligence not only directly affects self-efficacy, but also indirectly affects self-efficacy through coping styles. The results of the study indicate that college students who assess their self-efficacy based on their emotional state and who are able to manage their emotions will experience more positive feelings psychologically and behaviorally, and thus achieve higher self-efficacy in activities such as classes, internships, and employment interactions.

Published: November 2022

AbstractThe high specific impulse Alternative Low Power Ion Engine (alphie) is a gridded plasma thruster different from conventional (Kaufman) ion engines. In this disruptive concept, the ionization of the propellant neutral gas and the neutralization of ion outflow is achieved with only one cathode located in front and outside of the thruster. Electrons and ions move under the self-consistent field created by the DC voltage applied to its two planar grids together with the currents of charges flowing through them, unlike to conventional ion engines, where only ions move through its ion optics system. The stationary mesothermal flow of ions and electrons in the plasma plume is characterized with a retarded field energy analyzer in conjunction with Langmuir and emissive probes. The ion velocity distribution functions and the electron energy spectra for different operating conditions of the alphie thruster are discussed. The observed high ion temperatures are explained by the collisional interaction between the fast ionizing electrons and the neutral atoms that increases their average kinetic energy. Finally, the alphie delivers 0.8-3.5 mN throttleable thrusts giving specific impulses in the range of 14000-20000 s with estimated thruster efficiencies between 8% and 40%.

AbstractRecent research has increasingly focused on positive factors and supports for LGBTQ youth. This scoping review explores existing social support for LGBTQ youth in schools through the Ecological Systems Theory to respond to the following four objectives: (1) define social support systems in schools, (2) identify current research on outcomes for LGBTQ youth, (3) identify barriers to support LGBTQ youth in schools, and (4) identify areas for future research for LGBTQ youth and social support in schools. A systematic search (Arksey and O’Malley in Int J Soc Res Methodol 8(1):19–32, 2005) between 2007 through 2021 resulted in 94 articles. This review gave rise to an organizational framework to consolidate various systems of social support for LGBTQ youth in schools. Social support consisted of seven social support systems (family, curriculum, family, peers, school policies, GSAs and programs, and school climate) that are positively associated with the promotion of positive socioemotional, behavioural, and educational outcomes for LGBTQ youth. Though the literature has been clear surrounding the risks associated with LGBTQ youth, this scoping review provides a positive outlook on LGBTQ youth’s school experiences and how these systems of social support allow for LGBTQ youth to act as active participants to foster a positive school climate and sense of safety.

Published: November 2022

AbstractObjectives:This research evaluated the resilience of 6 tertiary and rural health facilities within a single Australian Health Service, using the World Health Organization (WHO) Hospital Safety Index (HSI). This adaptation of the HSI was compared with existing national accreditation and facility design Standards to assess disaster preparedness and identify opportunities for improvement.Methods:This cross-sectional descriptive study surveyed 6 hospitals that provide 24/7 emergency department and acute inpatient services. HSI assessments, comprising 151 previously validated criteria, were conducted by Health Service engineers and facility managers before being externally reviewed by independent disaster management professionals.Results:All facilities were found to be highly disaster resilient, with each recording high HSI scores. Variances in structure, architectural safety, continuity of critical services supply, and emergency plans were consistently identified. Power and water supply vulnerabilities are common to previously reported vulnerabilities in health facilities of developing countries.Conclusion:Clinical, engineering, and disaster management professionals assessed 6 Australian hospitals using the WHO HSI with each facility scoring highly, genuine vulnerabilities and practical opportunities for improvement were identified. This application of the WHO HSI, intended for use primarily in developing countries and disaster-affected regions, complimented and extended the existing Australian national health service accreditation and facility design Standards. These results support the expansion of existing assessment tools used to assess Australian health facility disaster preparedness and resilience.

AbstractObjective:To describe the clinical impact of healthcare-associated (HA) respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in hospitalized adults.Design:Retrospective cohort study within a prospective, population-based, surveillance study of RSV-infected hospitalized adults during 3 respiratory seasons: October 2017–April 2018, October 2018–April 2019, and October 2019–March 2020.Setting:The study was conducted in 2 academically affiliated medical centers.Patients:Each HA-RSV patient (in whom RSV was detected by PCR test ≥4 days after hospital admission) was matched (age, sex, season) with 2 community-onset (CO) RSV patients (in whom RSV was detected ≤3 days of admission).Methods:Risk factors and outcomes were compared among HA-RSV versus CO-RSV patients using conditional logistic regression. Escalation of respiratory support associated with RSV detection (day 0) from day −2 to day +4 was explored among HA-RSV patients.Results:In total, 84 HA-RSV patients were matched to 160 CO-RSV patients. In HA-RSV patients, chronic kidney disease was more common, while chronic respiratory conditions and obesity were less common. HA-RSV patients were not more likely to be admitted to an ICU or require mechanical ventilation, but they more often required a higher level of care at discharge compared with CO-RSV patients (44% vs 14%, respectively). Also, 29% of evaluable HA-RSV patients required respiratory support escalation; these patients were older and more likely to have respiratory comorbidities, to have been admitted to intensive care, and to die during hospitalization.Conclusions:HA-RSV in adults may be associated with escalation in respiratory support and an increased level of support in living situation at discharge. Infection prevention and control strategies and RSV vaccination of high-risk adults could mitigate the risk of HA-RSV.
Beamforming approaches towards detecting the 21-cm global signal from Cosmic Dawn with radio array telescopes
Authors: Price D. C. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe formation of the first stars and galaxies during ‘Cosmic Dawn’ is thought to have imparted a faint signal onto the 21-cm spin temperature from atomic Hydrogen gas in the early Universe. Observationally, an absorption feature should be measurable as a frequency dependence in the sky-averaged (i.e. global) temperature at meter wavelengths. This signal should be separable from the smooth—but orders of magnitude brighter—foregrounds by jointly fitting a log-polynomial and absorption trough to radiometer spectra. A majority of approaches to measure the global 21-cm signal use radiometer systems on dipole-like antennas. Here, we argue that beamforming-based methods may allow radio arrays to measure the global 21-cm signal. We simulate an end-to-end drift-scan observation of the radio sky at 50–100 MHz using a zenith-phased array, and find that the complex sidelobe structure introduces a significant frequency-dependent systematic. However, the$\lambda/D$evolution of the beam width with frequency does not confound detection. We conclude that a beamformed array with a median sidelobe level${\sim}-50$dB may offer an alternative method to measure the global 21-cm signal. This level is achievable by arrays with$O(10^5)$antennas.

Published: November 2022

AbstractRNA molecules play many functional and regulatory roles in cells, and hence, have gained considerable traction in recent times as therapeutic interventions. Within drug discovery, structure-based approaches have successfully identified potent and selective small-molecule modulators of pharmaceutically relevant protein targets. Here, we embrace the perspective of computational chemists who use these traditional approaches, and we discuss the challenges of extending these methods to target RNA molecules. In particular, we focus on recognition between RNA and small-molecule binders, on selectivity, and on the expected properties of RNA ligands.

Age effects in spoken second language vocabulary attainment beyond the critical period
Authors: Saito Kazuya 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe current study set out to examine to what degree age of acquisition (AOA), defined as a learner’s first intensive exposure to a second language (L2) environment, mediates the final state of postpubertal, spoken vocabulary attainment. In Study 1, spontaneous speech samples were elicited from experienced Japanese users of English (n = 41) using storytelling and interview tasks. The samples were analyzed using a range of corpus- and rater-based lexical measures and compared to the speech of inexperienced Japanese speakers (n = 40) and native speakers of English (n = 10). The results showed that most experienced L2 learners tended to demonstrate nativelike proficiency for relatively easy lexical dimensions of speech (i.e., richness), but that AOA appeared to play a key role in predicting the ultimate attainment of relatively difficult lexical dimensions (i.e., appropriateness). In Study 2, the findings were successfully replicated with experienced L1 Polish users of English (n = 50).

Published: November 2022

AbstractObjectives:To describe the epidemiology of severe bleeding in the immediate post-operative period in children who undergo cardiopulmonary bypass surgery using the Bleeding Assessment Scale for critically Ill Children (BASIC).Study design:Retrospective cohort study in a paediatric ICU from 2015 to 2020.Results:356 children were enrolled; 59% were male with median (IQR) age 2.1 (0.5–8) years. Fifty-seven patients (16%) had severe bleeding in the first 24 hours post-operatively. Severe bleeding was observed more frequently in younger and smaller children with longer bypass and cross-clamp times (p-values <0.001), in addition to higher surgical complexity (p = 0.048). Those with severe bleeding received significantly more red blood cells, platelets, plasma, and cryoprecipitate in the paediatric ICU following surgery (all p-values <0.001). No laboratory values obtained on paediatric ICU admission were able to predict severe post-operative bleeding. Those with severe bleeding had significantly less paediatric ICU-free days (p = 0.010) and mechanical ventilation-free days (p = 0.013) as compared to those without severe bleeding.Conclusions:Applying the BASIC definition to our cohort, severe bleeding occurred in 16% of children in the first day following cardiopulmonary bypass. Severe bleeding was associated with worse clinical outcomes. Standard laboratory assays do not predict bleeding warranting further study of available laboratory tests.
An Approach to Characterizing the Spatial Pattern and Scale of Regional Heat Islands Over Urban Agglomerations
Authors: Xie Z. Q. , Du Y. , Miao Q. , Zhang L. L. , Wang N. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractGreat difficulty in characterizing the spatial pattern and scale of regional surface urban heat islands (RSUHIs) over urban agglomerations is mainly attributed to the RSUHI extent exceeding urban boundaries and strong variations in the background climate state and land cover. A new method that successfully addresses these problems by applying the spatial similarity of the land surface temperature (LST) annual cycle in urban agglomerations is proposed to characterize the RSUHI spatial pattern and scale in the Yangtze River Delta of China. This method has good adaptability to complex terrain and climate variations and simultaneously identifies the RSUHI spatial pattern and scale. The RSUHI spatial extent averaged 3.7 × 104 km2 in 2003–2020, which is 1.5–2.0 times the urban extent, and had a fluctuating but increasing tendency. Rapid urbanization and the spatial pattern‐shifting LST anomalies were mainly responsible for the fluctuating RSUHI extent during 2003–2020.
