description: Abstract Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are associated with high services use, but European data on costs are scarce. Utilisation and annual costs of 385 individuals with ASD (aged 4–67 years; 18.2% females; 37.4% IQ < 85) from German outpatient clinics were assessed. Average annual costs per person were 3287 EUR, with psychiatric inpatient care (19.8%), pharmacotherapy (11.1%), and occupational therapy (11.1%) being the largest cost components. Females incurred higher costs than males (4864 EUR vs. 2936 EUR). In a regression model, female sex (Cost Ratio: 1.65), lower IQ (1.90), and Asperger syndrome (1.54) were associated with higher costs. In conclusion, ASD-related health costs are comparable to those of schizophrenia, thus underlining its public health relevance. Higher costs in females demand further research.

description: Purpose: This narrative review describes the application of negative control outcome (NCO) methods to assess potential bias due to unmeasured or mismeasured confounders in non-randomized comparisons of drug effectiveness and safety. An NCO is assumed to have no causal relationship with a treatment under study while subject to the same confounding structure as the treatment and outcome of interest; an association between treatment and NCO then reflects the potential for uncontrolled confounding between treatment and outcome. Methods: We focus on two recently completed NCO studies that assessed the comparability of outcome risk for patients initiating different osteoporosis medications and lipid-lowering therapies, illustrating several ways in which confounding may result. In these studies, NCO methods were implemented in claims-based data sources, with the results used to guide the decision to proceed with comparative effectiveness or safety analyses. Results: Based on this research, we provide recommendations for future NCO studies, including considerations for the identification of confounding mechanisms in the target patient population, the selection of NCOs expected to satisfy required assumptions, the interpretation of NCO effect estimates, and the mitigation of uncontrolled confounding detected in NCO analyses. We propose the use of NCO studies prior to initiating comparative effectiveness or safety research, providing information on the potential presence of uncontrolled confounding in those comparative analyses. Conclusions: Given the increasing use of non-randomized designs for regulatory decision-making, the application of NCO methods will strengthen study design, analysis, and interpretation of real-world data and the credibility of the resulting real-world evidence.

description: Researchers have developed missing data handling techniques for estimating interaction effects in multiple regression. Extending to latent variable interactions, we investigated full information maximum likelihood (FIML) estimation to handle incompletely observed indicators for product indicator (PI) and latent moderated structural equations (LMS) methods. Drawing on the analytic work on missing data handling techniques in multiple regression with interaction effects, we compared the performance of FIML for PI and LMS analytically. We performed a simulation study to compare FIML for PI and LMS. We recommend using FIML for LMS when the indicators are missing completely at random (MCAR) or missing at random (MAR) and when they are normally distributed. FIML for LMS produces unbiased parameter estimates with small variances, correct Type I error rates, and high statistical power of interaction effects. We illustrated the use of these methods by analyzing the interaction effect between advanced cancer patients’ depression and change of inner peace well-being on future hopelessness levels.

description: By activating self-regulation processes, prompts affect strategy use and learning outcomes. This study investigates the effects of cognitive and metacognitive prompts on strategy use and learning outcomes. Since enactive self-regulation processes represent the basis for self-efficacy judgements, we also investigated the effects of cognitive and metacognitive prompts on the development of learners’ self-efficacy. Alternatively, based on the concept of aptitude-treatment interactions, it is proposed that learners’ self-efficacy moderates the effects of prompts on learners’ self-reported online strategy use and their learning outcomes. While learning with hypermedia, N = 70 students either received cognitive and metacognitive prompts or learned without prompts. Self-efficacy was measured before, during, and directly after learning. Learning outcomes were assessed after learning. Strategy use was assessed via self-report and the quality of learning strategies in learners’ notes. Prompting had no effect on self-reported cognitive and metacognitive online strategy use, the quality of learning strategies, and learning outcomes but increased learners’ self-efficacy within the experimental group. Following the theoretical argumentation of aptitude-treatment interactions, moderation analyses indicated that the effect of prompts on learning outcomes was dependent on learners’ self-efficacy during learning. Thus, learners perceived self-efficacy during learning influenced the effectiveness of the prompts. Further research should investigate the interrelations between cognitive, metacognitive, and motivational factors to better understand how self-regulation can effectively be fostered in hypermedia environments.

description: A generic, facile, and waterborne strategy is introduced to fabricate flexible, low-cost nanocomposite films with room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) by incorporating waterborne RTP polymers into self-assembled bioinspired polymer/nanoclay nanocomposites. The excellent oxygen barrier of the lamellar nanoclay structure suppresses the quenching effect from ambient oxygen (kq) and broadens the choice of polymer matrices towards lower glass transition temperature (Tg), while providing better mechanical properties and processability. Moreover, the oxygen permeation and diffusion inside the films can be fine-tuned by varying the polymer/nanoclay ratio, enabling programmable retention times of the RTP signals, which is exploited for transient information storage and anti-counterfeiting materials. Additionally, anti-interception materials are showcased by tracing the interception-induced oxygen history that interferes with the preset self-erasing time. Merging bioinspired nanocomposite design with RTP materials contributes to overcoming the inherent limitations of molecular design of organic RTP compounds, and allows programmable temporal features to be added into RTP materials by controlled mesostructures. This will assist in paving the way for practical applications of RTP materials as novel anti-counterfeiting materials.

description: Introduction In hip preservation surgery, the term “borderline hip dysplasia” was used when the lateral center edge angle (LCEA), historically described by Wiberg, measured 18–25°. In recent years, several radiographic parameters have been described to assess the antero posterior coverage of the femoral head, for example, the anterior and posterior wall index (AWI and PWI). This allowed an increasingly comprehensive understanding of acetabular morphology and a questioning of the borderline definition. Material and methods A retrospective review of 397 consecutive hips was performed, all treated with triple pelvic osteotomy (TPO) due to symptomatic hip dysplasia. On all preoperative pelvic radiographs with a LCEA of 18–25°, acetabular index (AI), AWI and PWI were measured. With these values, the hips were categorized into laterally, antero-laterally and postero-laterally dysplastic and stratified by gender. Intra- and interobserver correlation of the parameters was analyzed by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results According to LCEA, 192 hips were identified as “borderline dysplastic”. Based on AWI and PWI, the categorization resulted in 116 laterally dysplastic (60.4%), 33 antero-laterally (17.2%) and 43 postero-laterally dysplastic hips (22.4%). Gender stratification revealed that male acetabula seemed to be slightly more postero-laterally deficient than female (mean PWI 0.80 vs 0.89; p = 0.017). ICC confirmed highly accurate and reproducible readings of all parameters. Conclusion The rather high proportion of symptomatic hips labelled borderline dysplastic suggested, that there might be substantial acetabular deficiency not recognizable by LCEA. Comprehensive deformity analysis using LCEA, AI, AWI and PWI showed, that 40% of these hips were deficient either antero-laterally or postero-laterally. Male acetabula were more deficient postero-laterally than female.

description: Polymer composite electrolytes (PCEs), i.e., materials combining the disciplines of polymer chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and electrochemistry, have received tremendous attention within academia and industry for lithium-based battery applications. While PCEs often comprise 3D micro- or nanoparticles, this review thoroughly summarizes the prospects of 2D layered inorganic, organic, and hybrid nanomaterials as active (ion conductive) or passive (nonion conductive) fillers in PCEs. The synthetic inorganic nanofillers covered here include graphene oxide, boron nitride, transition metal chalcogenides, phosphorene, and MXenes. Furthermore, the use of naturally occurring 2D layered clay minerals, such as layered double hydroxides and silicates, in PCEs is also thoroughly detailed considering their impact on battery cell performance. Despite the dominance of 2D layered inorganic materials, their organic and hybrid counterparts, such as 2D covalent organic frameworks and 2D metal–organic frameworks are also identified as tuneable nanofillers for use in PCE. Hence, this review gives an overview of the plethora of options available for the selective development of both the 2D layered nanofillers and resulting PCEs, which can revolutionize the field of polymer-based solid-state electrolytes and their implementation in lithium and post-lithium batteries.

description: Abstract Background It has been hypothesized that mental illness stigma differs according to what matters most to people, and that this results in value-based differences in stigma within societies. However, there is a lack of stigma measures that account for a broad range of values, including modern and liberal values. Methods For the development of the Value-based Stigma Inventory (VASI) a preliminary item-pool of 68 VASI-items was assembled by mental health and stigma experts. For psychometric evaluation, we tested the VASI in an online sample of the general population (n = 4983). Results Based on item-characteristics as well as explorative and confirmatory factor analyses, a final version of the VASI was developed, comprising 15 items and 5 subscales. The VASI shows good psychometric properties (item difficulty = 0.34 to 0.67; mean inter-item correlation r = 0.326; Cronbach’s α = 0.879). Medium to high correlations with established stigma scales (SDS, SSMI), medium associations with instruments assessing personal values (PVQ, KSA-3) and small to no associations with a social desirability scale (KSE-G) attest to good convergent and discriminatory validity of the new instrument. Normative values for the VASI subscales are presented. Conclusions The developed VASI can be used to assess public stigma of mental illness including personal stigma-relevant value orientations.

description: Abstract On‐site teaching at Ulm University was restricted in the summer semester (SS) 2020 due to the Corona pandemic. The biochemistry seminar “From gene to protein” in the 2nd preclinical semester, which had been successfully conducted as an Inverted Classroom (IC), had to be changed to an online concept. The aim of this study was to analyze the concept conversion in terms of students' satisfaction and knowledge acquisition. In the seminar, human medical students of the 2nd semester acquired biochemical and competency‐oriented learning content. In SS2019, the course was taught using the IC concept. For the conversion to the online format in the SS2020, alternative teaching materials were developed and used. Students' satisfaction was assessed by an evaluation questionnaire and knowledge acquisition was tested by a written biochemistry exam. For both teaching concepts a high level of satisfaction was detected. Individual evaluation criteria were evaluated similarly by the students for both concepts. The online concept led up to significantly higher biochemistry exam scores. Due to the high levels of students' satisfaction in both concepts and the results of the biochemistry exam, it can be concluded that online teaching offers a suitable substitute. Based on these results, it is worth to undertake further research on digitization of studies.

description: Ligand functionalisation resulting in unprecedented enhanced adsorption in a series of structurally similar, fluorinated metal-organic frameworks is studied using molecular computations and simulations. Strikingly anomalous experimental trends in the adsorption characteristics of the TKL FMOFs are investigated and understood here using classical and quantum chemical methods. Almost identical adsorption sites and energies for all the MOFs considered herein were observed. However, experimental isosteric heats and uptake amounts between these solids have been reported to be significantly different. Therefore, ab initio molecular dynamics simulations are performed to account for the drastic effects that flexible linkers can have on gas adsorption energetics, something that low-temperature crystallographic measurements cannot completely capture.

description: Metadata together with PIDs becomes the most important driver for research data reuse and sharing on one hand and for parametrization of data management workflows on the other hand. Whereus findability is improved by a rich and deeply structured metadata set, parametrization of worklows especially with many data sets needs simpler and much faster accessible metadata for efficiency reasons. Furthermore communities have often their own demands on valuable metadata from the scientific point of view as well as for instance for access regulation on recent generated research data. This often does not fit into predefined schemas and rises the need for community specific policies. All this can be covered by utilizing the database behind the Handle PID system to maintain so called PID information types (PIT), and aggregate them into community specific lists of mandatory and optional properties. The proposed talk will describe, how such PID Information Types can be defined in data type registries together with automatically generated schemas and how PIDs can be enriched with such type instances, and eventually how this can substantially improve the interoperability and richness of metadata between PID systems as well as the trustworthyness in the data policies of research data repositories.

description: This paper focuses on the effects of financial factors on manufacturing firms’ export participation in a panel of Egyptian manufacturing firms over the 2003–2008 period. Our main results show that financial constraints reduce export participation of Egyptian firms, while financial liquidity improves it. Moreover, financial constraints have a negative impact on alternative measures of export activity, namely, export intensity and the time the firm takes before starting to export. Consequently, adding to the scarce literature on developing countries, our results support an important impact of financial factors on Egyptian firms’ participation in international trade.

description: Background The measures against the COVID-19 pandemic are challenging for children and parents, and detrimental effects on child health are suggested especially from lock-down measures and school closings. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using a population based longitudinal (birth-) cohort study (SPATZ study) conducted in the South of Germany. Data included all 6 or 7 year old children for whom a questionnaire was completed during first grade of school. Consequently, we were able to analyze children being in first grade before the first lockdown in Germany (≤ 15th March 2020), as well as children being in first grade during the pandemic (> 15th March 2020). We conducted descriptive statistics and estimated the associations between the two time periods, before and during the pandemic, and various outcomes of child health using multivariable adjusted linear or logistic regression modeling. The analysis was stratified by gender. Results Results among n = 362 children aged six or seven years showed substantially lower mean scores of health-related quality of life (difference in means: − 5.5, 95% confidence interval (CI) − 9.0, − 2.0), and higher mean scores in total emotional and behavioral difficulties (difference in means: 2.0, 95% CI 0.2, 3.8) in girls during vs. before the COVID-19 pandemic using multivariable linear regression modeling. In addition, weekly screen-time was increased in boys by 3.5 h (95% CI 0.6, 6.4). We did not find substantial differences in sleep quality, physical activity, and time spent with books, neither in boys nor in girls, however, the limited sample size has to be considered. Conclusion Child health (and behavior) of first grade school children is possibly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic with adverse consequences possibly differing by gender.

description: This study investigates the role of emotional linguistic input in learning novel words with abstract and concrete denotations. It is widely accepted that concrete words are processed more easily than abstract ones. Several theories of vocabulary acquisition additionally propose a critical role of sensorimotor and emotional information during novel word learning. In this study, proficient adult speakers of English read novel words denoting concrete and abstract words (e.g. boat vs religion) embedded in informative passages with different emotional valence (positive, neutral, and negative). After five exposures to each novel word in an emotionally consistent context, participants were tested on orthographic and semantic vocabulary learning, and provided valence judgments of these novel words. A concreteness advantage was seen in both tasks measuring semantic learning. Critically, valence of linguistic contexts was more influential for novel words with concrete denotations. In line with previous reports, the transfer of context emotionality to novel words (i.e. semantic prosody) took place in concrete stimuli but it was not found in abstract stimuli, even though both were embedded in emotional contexts. An equal advantage was seen for semantic learning of novel words with both concrete and abstract denotations seen in positive contexts. These findings provide support for weak embodied theories of cognition, which propose experiential and linguistic information as critical for concrete and abstract novel word learning.

description: The study aimed to create a chitosan/graphite composite (CGC) using the impregnation method to optimize its adsorptive efficiency for methylene blue dye from synthetic waste water. The composite adsorbent material was synthesized using a chitosan to expanded graphite ratio of 5% and acetic acid and glutaraldehyde. Expanded graphite was prepared by reacting it with H2SO4 and H2O2 for 90 minutes at room temperature. The specific surface area of graphite increased from 1193.75 m2/g to 1223.648 m2/g. The composite adsorbent material was synthesized using the impregnation method, with chitosan to expanded graphite ratio of 75:25. The CGC was characterized using FTIR, XRD, BET, SEM, and point of zero charge analysis. The adsorption of methylene blue dye onto CGC was optimized by response surface statistical experimental design method to achieve a removal efficiency of 98.61% at 5.24 initial concentration, pH of 9.98, and 95.43-minute contact time. The Langmuir isotherm best fitted the adsorption process, with an R2 value of 0.9974 and adsorption capacity of 98 mg/g. The kinetics of adsorption were best fitted to pseudo-second order with K value 0.0378. The composite was found to be the best alternative adsorbent for removing methylene blue dye from textile wastewater.

description: Objective To investigate the association between neuropsychological deficits and psychological well-being in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Methods Subjective (Schedule for the Evaluation of the Individual Quality of Life-Direct Weighting, SEIQoL-DW) and global quality of life (QoL; Anamnestic Comparative Self-Assessment, ACSA) as well as depression (ALS-Depression-Inventory, ADI-12) as indicators for psychological well-being were measured in 214 patients with ALS and correlated with neurocognitive performance assessed by the Edinburgh Cognitive and Behavioural ALS Screen (ECAS). Primary caregivers evaluated behaviour. Patients were classified to be cognitively (ALSci) or behaviourally impaired (ALSbi) according to Strong criteria. Results ALSbi patients had poorer psychological well-being than patients without behavioural alterations, while the psychological well-being of patients with and without neurocognitive deficits was comparable. Conclusion The study provides evidence that minor neuropsychological deficits do not interfere with psychological well-being of ALS in contrast to alterations on behavioural level. Thus, abnormalities in individual cognitive domains have limited relevance for the patients’ everyday life in comparison to the impact of behavioural alterations.

description: Particular types of physical activity (PA) hold the potential to enhance brain structure and functions across various age groups. Active travel (AT), a non-motorised human-powered mode of transportation, might be a particularly important form of PA that may enhance neuropsychological development, benefit executive and visuospatial cognitive abilities, and contribute to preventing cognitive degeneration. Accordingly, this systematic review explores the associations between AT and cognitive outcomes in all age groups. Searches were conducted in five databases. Of 2401 initial hits, 11 studies met the inclusion criteria. The studies ranged from 36 to 2702 participants, examined diverse cognitive outcomes, and were predominantly with children or adolescents. No studies among adult ages 20- to 60-years were included, while only one study among older adults was included in the review. There was some evidence of positive associations between AT and spatial and reasoning abilities. Mixed results were identified between AT and executive functioning and processing speed, and no associations between AT and general intelligence. Limitations included reliance on self-reported AT, a focus mainly on school travel, and heterogeneity of cognition measures. Overall, this review reveals insufficient evidence for an association between AT and cognitive functions across the lifespan, underscoring the need for further investigation.
