To extend work careers, it is important to focus on all working-aged people including young adults. The aim of this study was to identify typical patterns of work participation among young adults after their first entry into the labour market and to examine whether the timing of entry together with parental and own socio-economic position and health predict early work participation. More in-depth understanding of early careers and their early determinants is important to plan targeted interventions and to promote more stable work participation among young adults.
We used the Finnish Birth Cohort 1987 including data from several registers from all 59,476 children born in 1987 as well as their parents, followed until 2015. We estimated a mixture Markov model that allowed for joint identification of latent classes of labour-market attachment, estimation of labour-market transitions within classes, and prediction of class membership using childhood social and health-related determinants.
We observed that the first entry into the labour market as measured by six months in continuous employment was not a permanent entry for many, not only due to negative reasons such as unemployment and ill health but also due to more voluntary reasons such as studies. Individuals entering the labour market at a later age were more likely to be in continuous employment thereafter. More advantaged background predicted exits due to studies or – when following a late entry – stable employment, while disadvantaged background factors predicted more unstable work and long-term exits from the labour market.

Abstract

Objectives
Bilateral inferior petrosal sinus sampling (BIPSS) is a useful test for differential diagnosis of central vs. ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-dependent Cushing’s syndrome (CS). We provide a description of the protocol used in our Center and an analysis of its diagnostic accuracy.

Methods
A retrospective study was conducted of 28 patients who underwent BIPSS combined with corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) stimulation. The procedure is performed in an interventional neuroradiology suite, involving a multidisciplinary team of neuroradiologists, endocrinologists and laboratory professionals. The two petrosal sinuses are catheterized and a peripheral blood sample is obtained simultaneously, at baseline and at 3, 6 and 10 min following stimulation. ACTH and prolactin are determined by immunochemiluminescence.

Results
A total of 19 cases of Cushing’s disease (CD) and 1 case of ectopic CS were confirmed. In all cases, BIPSS provided accurate diagnostic guidance, with a sensitivity and specificity of 100%. In 8 patients, remission was not achieved after surgery. In 84% of catheterizations, ACTH ratio peaked at 3–6 min following stimulation. Patients with histologically-confirmed CD exhibited higher sinus ACTH ratios and values. Prolactin ratio helped us identify and exclude 28.6% of the samples with inconsistent results.

Conclusions
In our series, BIPSS combined with CRH stimulation demonstrated to be a safe, effective procedure. Prolactin emerges as a useful marker of correct catheterization. The participation of a multidisciplinary team is essential.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
The influence of iron sulfide on the rate of cathodic and anodic processes of steels with ferrite, perlite and ferrite perlite structure was shown. It was established that the hydrogenation and corrosion rate of steels with different structures depends not only its structure, but also the nature of sulfide-containing products of corrosion. The well-known scheme of the influence of hydrogen sulfide on the processes of corrosion and hydrogenation of steel was supplemented by reactions of formation iron sulfides. They can affect the rate of recombination of hydrogen atoms and, respectively, its molation and absorption by metals.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
In this study, the motion characteristics of bubbles in a vertical rectangular glass groove were investigated using image-processing techniques. A new metric (bubble offset) to evaluate the level of solution disturbance was proposed. The motion characteristics, such as the trajectory, bubble diameter, rise velocity, and coalescence, during the bubble rise were studied using different NaCl concentrations and airflow rates. The functional relationship of the bubble diameter and velocity with height was obtained by least-squares fitting (correlation coefficient R2 ≥ 95%), and fits the power-law distribution. The results showed that the bubble motion characteristics were positively correlated with the airflow rate and negatively correlated with the NaCl concentration in the solution. The solution disturbance was closely related to the bubble offset, and the size of the bubble offset can be used to characterize the degree of the solution disturbance. The disturbance of the solution affects the bubble trajectory, rising velocity and coalescence. The bubble offset changed periodically with height, and its functional relationship was obtained. The accuracy of the functional relationship was verified using experimental data. The study of bubble motion characteristics is crucial for understanding phenomena such as heat and mass transfer and multiphase cooling.
Theoretical and numerical analysis of a prey–predator model (3-species) in the frame of generalized Mittag-Leffler law
Authors: Almalahi Mohammed A. , Abdo Mohammed S. , Abdeljawad Thabet , Bonyah Ebenezer 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
In the present paper, a new fractional order predator–prey model is considered. The applied fractional operator is a generalized Atangana–Baleanu–Caputo (ABC) derivative, which does not require any restrictions on the initial conditions as in the case of classical ABC fractional derivatives. On the theoretical aspect, we prove the existence, uniqueness, and Ulam–Hyers stability results by using some fixed point theorems and nonlinear analysis techniques. The numerical aspect discusses the approximation solutions for the proposed model by applying the generalized scheme of the Adams–Bashforth technique. At the end, we explain the behavior of the solution to the studied model through graphical representations and numerical simulations.
How Russian speakers express evolution in Pokémon names: an experimental study with nonce words
Authors: Kumagai Gakuji , Kawahara Shigeto 
Published: October 2022

AbstractSound symbolism, systematic and iconic relationships between sounds and meanings, is now a topic that is very actively explored by linguists, psychologists and cognitive scientists. As a new research strategy to study the nature of sound symbolic connections across different languages, a number of scholars have started using Pokémon names, a research paradigm that is now dubbed “Pokémonastics.” The previous Pokémonastics studies have experimentally explored how the evolution status is symbolically expressed by native speakers of English, Japanese and Brazilian Portuguese. Building on these studies, the current experiment examined the sound symbolic knowledge of Russian speakers, and found that they are more likely to associate large, post-evolution Pokémon characters with names containing voiced obstruents than with names containing voiceless obstruents, and that they are also more likely to associate post-evolution characters with names containing [a] than with names containing [i]. The experiment also revealed that Russian speakers are less likely to associate post-evolution characters with names having labial consonants than with names having coronal or dorsal consonants. Overall, the current results show that Russian speakers generally have knowledge of sound symbolic associations that is similar to that of English, Japanese and Brazilian Portuguese speakers, suggesting that some sound symbolic patterns hold robustly across multiple languages.
The electrostatic wave modes and formation of dust voids in an externally magnetized cylindrical dusty plasma
Authors: Dasgupta Chitrita , Maitra Sarit 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
A system of dusty plasma, containing negatively charged dust particles, Boltzmann distributed electrons and ions, is considered in a cylindrical set up and electrostatic wave modes have been studied in the presence of an external magnetic field. The dust particles are of two different sizes such that small grains are present in significant amount. Using Fourier transformation along temporal and azimuthal directions, linear dispersion relation is derived, which indicates the existence of two distinct wave modes for the stable case. Among the breathing and rotation modes, density profiles have been observed numerically for the rotation mode corresponding to the stable case. The density fluctuation of small grains is noticed to be more prominent than that of the big grains. In the presence of external magnetic field, large grains contribute very negligible magnitude of dust number density in those regions, where voids are generated by the small grains only. The effect of mode number on the dust density fluctuation as well as on the structure of density profile is observed. The magnetic field effect on dust void formation is also studied.
Screening and identification of fungi isolated from batik wastewaters for decolorization of Remazol Black B dye and batik effluent
Authors: Ayu Yasinta Swastika , Kasiamdari Rina Sri 
Published: October 2022

Azo dyes are the most commonly used dyes in the textile industry and is classified as reactive dyes, including remazol dyes. Remazol dye creates additional reactions with fibrous substrates to produce ester bonds that give the fabric a bright colour. Remazol Black B (RBB) is a reactive dye from the Azo group. Remazol, also called a reactive vinyl sulfone dye which is widely used in the batik industry with black B, is its kind of colour. One of the biological treatments uses bioremediation techniques using fungi as a bioremediation agent. Therefore, this study aimed to screen and identify potential fungi that could degrade RBB using tannic acid as a qualitative screening and quantitative screening using a liquid medium containing various concentrations of RBB dye (250 ppm, 500 ppm, 1000 ppm, 1500 ppm). The results showed among ninety-eight fungal isolates, and six isolates were positive for laccase assay using tannic acid. Two of the six fungal isolates were identified as <em>Aspergillus </em>sp.1<em> </em>(74BRT) and <em>Aspergillus </em>sp.2<em> </em>(105PDL), which were selected for further study based on their high efficiency in decolourising RBB dye (96.89% and 91.21%). BLAST analysis of sequence data showed the identity of isolate 74BRT as <em>Aspergillus tamarii, </em>and isolate 105PDL<em> </em>as <em>Aspergillus sclerotiorum</em>. The efficiency of <em>A. tamarii</em> and <em>A. sclerotiorum</em> to decolourise the batik effluent was up to 37.47% and 42.09%, respectively. The laccase assay of these two isolates showed that <em>A. tamarii</em> had the highest enzyme activity at 120 h, reaching 12.23 IU mL<sup>-1,</sup> while <em>A. sclerotiorum</em> reached 9.34 IU mL<sup>-1</sup>.

Authors: Kitjaroonchai Nakhon , Phutikettrkit Chomphunut 
Published: October 2022

The article reported a case study investigating the scaffolding strategies of twelve Asian EFL learners in four small groups’ scaffolding strategies during two online collaborative writing (OCW) tasks in a composition course using Google Docs as a writing platform. Of interest was how EFL learners with different L1 scaffold each other while co-constructing OCW tasks, and also if scaffolding strategies used during OCW tasks influence writing performance. Data collection included pre-test and post-test writing, two OCW tasks on descriptive and argumentative essays, learners’ use of scaffolding and non-scaffolding negotiations during OCW tasks observed through Google Docs revision history, and student reflection. The findings showed that learners in small groups employed both scaffolding and non-scaffolding dialogues to jointly construct their OCW tasks by giving advice, providing suggestions, responding to questions or requests, asking questions, or clarifying ideas. Learners who contributed more texts directed their team and initiated both scaffolding negotiations and non-negotiations while performing group work. The study results also revealed that members who employed more scaffolding negotiations during their OCW processes likely produced a better quality of writing in their post-test. Nevertheless, these findings indicated that members in small groups benefited from both scaffolding and non-scaffolding negotiations as they helped in task revisions. The findings contributed to research that has investigated online scaffolding strategies in EFL learners’ collaborative writing tasks.

Published: October 2022

To enhance the current postgraduate educational learning environment, this quasi-experimental case study examined the implementation of the Pedagogy-Andragogy-Heutagogy (PAH) Continuum as an instructional framework for developing basic competencies and learner autonomy among 50 postgraduate students. This is in response to the high attrition rates and students’ failure to graduate on time, afflicting the quality of postgraduate education in Malaysia. Data were collected via pre and post-tests, a questionnaire, and focus-group interviews. The findings revealed significant improvement in the students’ critical reading and research skills, while their learner autonomy level was moderate due to personal and cultural limitations.
