Year: 2025

description: The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the recruitment and selection process has revolutionizedthe way organizations hire and manage talent. AI technologies such as machine learning, predictiveanalytics, and chat bots are increasingly being used to streamline operations, enhance decision-making,and improve the candidate experience. This paper examines the impact of AI on the recruitment processfrom the employee’s perspective, focusing on the opportunities and challenges it presents. On the onehand, AI offers increased efficiency, better candidate matching, personalized experiences, and improveddiversity and inclusion. On the other hand, it introduces concerns related to bias, lack of transparency,job displacement, and the dehumanization of recruitment. The paper highlights the need for ethical AIdeployment, emphasizing transparency, bias mitigation, and human-AI collaboration to ensure that therecruitment process remains both effective and fair. By addressing these challenges, organizations canharness the full potential of AI while enhancing employee engagement and ensuring equitable hiringpractices.

description: Environmental DNA (eDNA) is a highly sensitive and cost-effective tool that is increasingly being applied to studies of biodiversity and species detection. This non-invasive method relies on the collection of environmental samples that contain genetic material being shed into surrounding environment by the target organism/s. While forensic science has a long history of using molecular tools for collecting DNA from the environment, the detection of human DNA from environmental water samples has been limited. This study investigated the detection and degradation rates of human eDNA in water samples under controlled laboratory conditions. Using a human-specific qPCR assay targeting the ND1 region of human mitochondrial DNA, eDNA degradation over time in water spiked with human blood was assessed. Recovery of nuclear DNA was investigated by determining if routine DNA short tandem repeat (STR) profiles of the blood source could be generated. Results demonstrated that human eDNA remains detectable for up to 11 days under laboratory conditions in environmental water and up to 35 days in distilled water. Partial STR profiles could be recovered from environmental water only up to 24 h, while, in distilled water, partial profiles continued to be recovered up to 840 h. These findings demonstrate that sampling human eDNA from aquatic samples can provide reliable human DNA detection within relatively short time windows, assisting law enforcement agencies by providing information about the potential time an individual may have been present in an area or assisting in the detection and location of a body or remains in aquatic environments.

description: Background: Family-based lifestyle interventions (FBLIs) are an important method for treating childhood weight problems. Despite being recognized as an effective intervention method, the optimal structure of these interventions for children’s overweight and obesity has yet to be determined. Our aim was to better understand participants’ (a) implementation of behaviour strategies and long-term outcomes, (b) perceptions regarding the optimal structure of FBLIs, and (c) insights into psychological concepts that may explain the success of these programs. Methods: Purposive sampling was used to recruit participants. We conducted focus groups as well as one-to-one interviews with parents (n = 53) and children (n = 50; aged 7–13, M = 9.4 yr, SD = 3.1) three months following their involvement in a 10-week, multi-component, FBLI involving education and activities relating to healthy nutrition, physical activity, and behavior modification. Using an interpretivist approach, a qualitative study design was employed to examine participant experiences. Results: We identified three higher-order categories: (a) participants’ program experiences and perceptions (b) lifestyle changes post-program, and (c) recommendations for optimizing family-based programs. Themes identified within these categories included (a) support and structure & content, (b) diet and physical activity, and (c) in-program recommendations and post-program recommendations. Conclusions: We identified several challenges that can impair lasting behavior change (e.g., physical activity participation) following involvement in a FBLI. On optimizing these programs, participants emphasized fun, interactive content, interpersonal support, appropriate educational content, and behavior change techniques. Concepts rooted in motivational theory could help address calls for greater theoretical and mechanistic insight in FBLIs. Findings may support research advancement and assist health professionals to more consistently realize the potential of these interventions.

description: BACKGROUND: Foot disorders may limit independence and reduce quality of life for older adults. Obesity is a risk factor for foot conditions; both mechanical load and metabolic effects may contribute to these conditions. This study determined cross-sectional associations between inflammatory markers and foot disorders. METHODS: Participants were drawn from the Framingham Foot Study (2002-2008). C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) were each examined for associations with foot pain, forefoot pain, hindfoot pain, hallux valgus, hallux rigidus, and toe deformities (claw, hammer, or overlapping toes). Unadjusted and adjusted (age, body mass index, physical activity, smoking status) sex-specific logistic regression was performed. RESULTS: Of 909 participants, 54% were women (mean age 65 [Formula: see text] 9 years), 20% had foot pain, 29% had hallux valgus, 3% had hallux rigidus, and 27% had toe deformities. In unadjusted models, higher CRP (OR [95% CI] = 1.5 [1.1, 2.0]) and IL-6 (OR [95% CI] = 1.8 [1.2, 2.6]) were associated with foot pain among men; higher CRP was associated with foot pain (OR [95% CI] = 1.3 [1.0, 1.5]) among women. Higher CRP (OR [95% CI] = 1.9 [1.1, 3.2]) and IL-6 (OR [95% CI] = 2.4 [1.2, 4.7]) were associated with forefoot pain in men. Higher CRP was associated with hindfoot pain ([95% CI] = 1.8 [1.2, 2.6]) in women. After adjustment, CRP ([95% CI] = 1.5 [1.1, 2.0]) and IL-6 ([95% CI] = 1.8 [1.2, 2.6]) remained associated with foot pain in men, and IL-6 with forefoot pain ([95% CI] = 2.9 [1.4, 6.1]) in men. No associations with structural foot disorders were observed. CONCLUSIONS: Inflammation may impact foot pain. Future work assessing whether inflammation is part of the mechanism linking obesity to foot pain may identify areas for intervention and prevention.

description: The fungus Gnomoniopsis smithogilvyi is a significant threat to the production of sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa) nuts in Australia and worldwide. The pathogen causes nut rot, which leads to substantial production losses. Early and accurate diagnosis of the disease is essential to delineate and implement control strategies. A specific and sensitive multiplex PCR was developed based on the amplification of three barcode sequences of G. smithogilvyi. The assay reliability was enhanced by including the amplification of a host gene as an internal control. Primers were thoroughly evaluated in silico before assessing them in vitro. Primer annealing temperature and concentration were optimised to enhance the assay sensitivity and specificity. The assay detection limit ranged between 0.1 and 1.0 pg (5 and 50 fg/μL) of genomic DNA per reaction. No cross-reactivity was observed with genomic DNA from closely and distantly related fungal species. We also characterised Australian G. smithogilvyi isolates phenotypically and genotypically and found significant differences in morphologic and virulence traits of the isolates. An understanding of the virulence of G. smithogilvyi and the availability of a reliable and accurate diagnostic technique will enable earlier detection of the pathogen, which will contribute to effective control strategies for the disease.

description: This paper aims to present the result of commonly used extreme wave analysis distribution methods applied to a long-term wave hindcast at a point in the Arabian Gulf near the coastline of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The wave data were hindcasted for a total period of 40 years, starting from 1 January 1979 to 31 December 2018. This analysis aims to support the design, repair, and maintenance of coastal structures near the Dubai coast. A 2.5 m threshold is selected using the Peak Over Threshold method to filter the storm data for the extreme wave analysis. Different distribution methods are used for this analysis such as Log-normal, Gumbel, Weibull, Exponential, and Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD). The significant wave heights are predicted for different return periods. The GPD distribution appears to fit the data best compared to the other distribution methods. Many coastal projects are being planned near the Dubai coastline. Hence, the analysis presented in this paper would be useful in designing safe and efficiently designed projects.
Job Satisfaction Challenges in Lebanese Educational NGOs: Is Transformational Leadership the key?

description: Purpose: Lebanon’s 2019‑2024 poly‑crisis devastated educators’ purchasing power; fresh‑dollar decrees in 2023‑2024 restored a livable wage, yet morale remained flat. This paper explores, through a purely qualitative lens, whether transformational leadership (TL) can address the non‑salary stressors that now dominate educators’ work lives in Lebanese educational NGOs.

Design/methodology/approach: A qualitative critical‑interpretive synthesis (CIS) of 68 peer‑reviewed and grey documents (January 2023–March 2025) was undertaken. Texts included interview‑based studies, case narratives, policy briefs and NGO learning reports. Following Noblit and Hare (1988) meta‑ethnographic steps, first‑order (participant) and second‑order (author) constructs were re‑translated into overarching third‑order themes.

Findings: Three interlocking wounds recur across the literature: capability anxiety (teachers narrate “tech shame” and fear of hybrid platforms), complexity overload (accounts of “Excel avalanches” and “audit‑visible reporting”), and purpose drift (staff speak of “mission ping‑pong” as donor KPIs rotate). In crisis settings from Nepal to Argentina, Transformational Leadership behaviors; especially risk‑sharing, vision narration and peer‑learning rituals appear to transform these wounds into sources of collective agency (Bass and Riggio, 2006; Cummings et al., 2018; Judge and Piccolo, 2004).

Research limitations/implications: Although this study integrates a wide array of qualitative evidence; interview transcripts, focus-group narratives, case vignettes drawn from both published and unpublished sources, it did not include new primary fieldwork in Lebanese NGOs. Future research should complement this conceptual synthesis with in-situ ethnographic interviews and participant observation to test and refine the proposed Transformational Leadership micro-practice model.

Practical implications: A five‑step, low‑cost Transformational Leadership (TL) for‑Learning‑Quality Toolkit is proposed; every practice is traceable to successful examples in the reviewed literature.

description: Despite its crucial role in initiation of cytotoxic immune responses, the molecular pathways underlying antigen cross-presentation remain incompletely understood. The mechanism of antigen exit from endocytic compartments into the cytosol is a long-standing matter of controversy, confronting two main models: transfer through specific channels/transporters or rupture of endocytic membranes and leakage of luminal content. By monitoring the occurrence of intracellular damage in conventional dendritic cells (cDCs), we show that cross-presenting cDC1s display more frequent endomembrane injuries and increased recruitment of endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT)-III, the main repair system for intracellular membranes, relative to cDC2s. Silencing of CHMP2a or CHMP4b, two effector subunits of ESCRT-III, enhances cytosolic antigen export and cross-presentation. This phenotype is partially reversed by chemical inhibition of RIPK3, suggesting that endocytic damage is related to basal activation of the necroptosis pathway. Membrane repair therefore proves crucial in containing antigen export to the cytosol and cross-presentation in cDCs.

description: Background: The present study aimed to investigate how often and to what degree older adults living in an area of Gujarat, Western India, enact traditional and modern eating behaviors. Specifically, we aimed to determine which facets of traditional eating are enacted rarely and which facets of modern eating are enacted often. Moreover, we hypothesized that urban older adults show a higher level of modern eating behaviors than rural older adults. Furthermore, we examined which traditional eating behaviors are more prevalent in rural older adults, and which are more prevalent in urban older adults. Methods: A trained research assistant administered a questionnaire in a face-to-face situation with 120 older adults in a rural and an urban area of Gujarat, Western India. Participants were asked how often and to what degree they perform 57 traditional and modern eating behaviors. Results: Overall, our sample of older Gujaratis reported a high level of traditional eating behaviors and a low level of modern eating behaviors. However, we also found, for example, a low level of the traditional eating facet of men getting preferential treatment and a high level of the modern eating facet of food being readily available. Moreover, most modern eating facets were more pronounced in the urban than in the rural sample. This was also the case for half of all traditional eating facets. Conclusion: Our sample of older adults living in an area of Gujarat displayed more modern eating behaviors in urban than in rural areas. At the same time, however, the urban sample showed also more traditional eating behaviors, such as eating more fruits, possibly because of better food availability. Altogether, results might hint at some signs of modernization among older adults in this area of Gujarat with regard to changing gender roles and better food availability.

description: Although machine learning models have been employed for the compressive strength (CS) of cement-based mortar containing metakaolin, it is difficult to understand how they work due to “black-box” nature. In order to explain the involved mechanism, Categorical Gradient Boosting (CatBoost) model with feature importance, feature interaction, partial dependence plot (PDP) and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) is proposed in this paper. A dataset consisting of 424 samples with six input variables is used to build the CatBoost model, which has optimal performance by tuning a set of seven hyper-parameters using sequential model-based optimization. Five quantitative measures (R2, MAE, RMSE, a10-, a20-index) are employed to evaluate the accuracy and the obtained results are superior to the previous study. It is from feature importance that the most significant input variable involving the CS is water-to-binder ratio, followed by age of specimen and cement grade. The strongest feature interaction is between water-to-binder ratio and metakaolin. A comprehensive parametric study is carried out via SHAP and PDP to investigate the effects of all input variables on the CS of cement-based mortar.

description: Aim: In 2020, the European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) published a new creatinine-based equation to estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) to overcome known limitations in existing equations. The aim of this study is to model the potential impact on service referral and health expenditure of routine reporting of eGFR using the EKFC equation as compared to the CKD-EPI equation in a Western Australian population. Methods: eGFR was calculated for 760 614 patients with 2 368 234 creatinine results using the CKD-EPI and EKFC formulas. Patients were grouped into a CKD cohort if they had at least two eGFR results of <60 ml/min/1.73 m2 from tests at least 90 days apart. The impact of each equation on the reclassification of CKD stages, CKD cohort classification, the rate of change in eGFR and direct health costs were assessed. Results: About 90.66% of patients had a lower eGFR when calculated using the EKFC equation. About 12.6% of individuals were classified into a different CKD stage using the EKFC equation with 97.43% of these patients classified into a higher (more advanced) stage. There was a 25.9% increase in the number of patients identified as having CKD when calculated using the EKFC equation. Direct health costs also increased with the use of EKFC reporting. Conclusion: Use of the EKFC equation will increase population prevalence of CKD and will result in a shift to higher stages of CKD. This has implications for monitoring and referral of patients within specialist services and has the potential to increase the need for multidisciplinary care.

description: Introduction: The number of Australian residents with dementia is projected to double by 2058, with 28% currently being migrants from non-Anglophone countries. There will be growing demand for professional interpreters for cognitive assessments and dementia-related health consultations in the future. Interpreting cognitive assessments can be challenging for interpreters; inaccurate interpreting can influence assessment outcomes. The Improving Interpreting for Dementia Assessments (MINDSET) project will upskill interpreters through an online training course in dementia and cognitive assessments. The training has been co-designed with key stakeholders from the interpreting sector, dementia-related services, and family caregivers, and has been user-tested with 12 interpreters. The training aims to improve the quality of interpreter-mediated communication during cognitive assessments, and thereby improve the accuracy and acceptability of cognitive assessments with older people who have limited English proficiency.
Methods: We are conducting a single-blinded randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of the training. We aim to enroll 150 interpreters, and allocate them to equal parallel groups. The intervention group will receive access to the MINDSET training, which comprises 4 hours of resources covering five domains: dementia knowledge, cross-cultural communication, briefings and debriefings, interpreting skills, and interpreting ethics. The control group will be assigned to a wait list, and will receive access to the training after the trial. Participants will be assessed according to the five domains, via the Dementia Knowledge and Assessment Scale, multiple-choice questions, video-simulated assessments, and ethical scenarios. Assessments will occur at baseline (prior to the intervention group completing the training), 3 months after enrollment, and 6 months after enrollment.
Results: The trial is ongoing. Recruitment began in June 2022.
Discussion: This is the first time a training resource for interpreters in dementia has been trialed. If successful it may represent a technologically innovative way to offer training to both trainee and practicing interpreters.

description: Introduction: Alcohol is a leading risk factor for death and disease in young people. We compare age-specific characteristics of young people who experience their first (‘index’) alcohol-related hospitalisation or emergency department (ED) presentation, and whether age at index predicts 12-month rates of readmission. Methods: We used a retrospective linked-data cohort of 10,300 people aged 12–20 years with an index alcohol-related hospital and/or ED record in New South Wales, Australia from 2005 to 2013. Age group (early adolescent [12–14 years], late adolescent [15–17 years], young adult [18–20 years]) and diagnosis fields were used in logistic regression analyses and to calculate incidence rates with adjustment for year of index event, sex, socioeconomic disadvantage and residence remoteness. Results: People who experienced their index event in early adolescence (adjusted relative risk ratio [ARRR] 0.45 [95% confidence interval 0.39, 0.52]) or late adolescence (ARRR 0.82 [0.74, 0.90]) were less likely to be male compared to young adults. Early adolescents (ARRR 0.60 [0.51, 0.70]) and late adolescents (ARRR 0.84 [0.76, 0.93]) were less likely to have a hospitalisation index event. Early adolescents (adjusted incidence rate ratio 1.40 [1.15, 1.71]) and late adolescents (adjusted incidence rate ratio 1.16 [1.01, 1.34]) were more likely than young adults to have a subsequent 12-month non-poisoning injury ED presentation. Discussion and Conclusions: We identified preventable hospital events in young people who have previously experienced an alcohol-related ED presentation or hospitalisation, with age-specific characteristics and outcomes that can be used to inform future health policy and service planning.

description: The single freshly skinned muscle fibre technique was used to investigate Ca2+- and Sr2+-activation properties of skeletal muscle fibres from elderly women (66–90 years). Muscle biopsies were obtained from the vastus lateralis muscle. Three populations of muscle fibres were identified according to their specific Sr2+-activation properties: slow-twitch (type I), fast-twitch (type II) and hybrid (type I/II) fibres. All three fibre types were sampled from the biopsies of 66 to 72 years old women, but the muscle biopsies of women older than 80 years yielded only slow-twitch (type I) fibres. The proportion of hybrid fibres in the vastus lateralis muscle of women of circa 70 years of age (24%) was several-fold greater than in the same muscle of adults (< 10%), suggesting that muscle remodelling occurs around this age. There were no differences between the Ca2+- and Sr2+-activation properties of slow-twitch fibres from the two groups of elderly women, but there were differences compared with muscle fibres from young adults with respect to sensitivity to Ca2+, steepness of the activation curves, and characteristics of the fibre-type dependent phenomenon of spontaneous oscillatory contractions (SPOC) (or force oscillations) occurring at submaximal levels of activation. The maximal Ca2+ activated specific force from all the fibres collected from the seven old women use in the present study was significantly lower by 20% than in the same muscle of adults. Taken together these results show there are qualitative and quantitative changes in the activation properties of the contractile apparatus of muscle fibres from the vastus lateralis muscle of women with advancing age, and that these changes need to be considered when explaining observed changes in women’s mobility with aging.

description: Background: Mental health problems are important public health issues among college students and are associated with various social factors. However, these influencing factors were scarcely summarized in Chinese college students comprehensively. This study aims to assess the associations between socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyles, social support quality (SSQ) and mental health among Chinese college students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Wuhan, China, from October 2017 to February 2018. College students from 18 colleges or universities were randomly recruited using multi-stage cluster sampling method. The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support scale and 12-items General Health Questionnaire were used to estimate students’ SSQ and mental health statuses, respectively. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the associations between socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyles, SSQ and mental health problems. Results: A total of 10,676 college students were included. Among them, 21.4% were identified as having possible mental health problems. Students being a female, aged 18–22 years old, whose mother held college degrees and above, and drinking alcohol were more likely to have mental health problems (P < 0.05). Contrarily, having general or higher household economic levels, work-rest regularly, and sleeping ≥ 7 h were preventive factors (P < 0.05). Especially, a decreasing trend in the risk of having mental health problems with the improvement of SSQ was identified. Conclusion: Besides socio-demographic and lifestyle factors, social support is a critical factor for mental health among college students. Improving SSQ, especially which from the family, could be an effective method to prevent mental health problems among college students.

description: We write this essay collaboratively because, as father and son, we have firsthand experience of different generations interpreting popular media texts in different ways. However, like Deleuze and Guattari (1987, p. 3), we understand the limits and opportunities of writing together: “Since each of us was several, there was already quite a crowd.” Each of us is indeed several, but we agree that some things might be better said with one voice.

description: Accessibility is commonly assessed using indicators calculated from spatial data. Comparatively perceived accessibility cannot be adequately reflected by these calculated measures because it involves the perception to participate in spatially dispersed opportunities. This highlights the need to understand and consider perceived accessibility for planning and evaluation of transport systems from a complementary perspective. Therefore, this study aims to offer a systematic review concerning the interpretations of perceived accessibility in transport, its concept, major social drivers, barriers, evaluation methods and key influencing factors. This review also highlights the importance of perceived safety and service quality in public transport and their relationship with perceived accessibility in daily travel. The paper argues that perceived accessibility with due consideration of perceived safety and service quality will contribute to the development from mobility-based to accessibility-based planning.

description: Background: A considerable number of studies have suggested that there is a strong correlation between 25-hydroxyvitamin D or vitamin D levels and overall health, with reported impacts ranging from mental health and vital organ health to musculoskeletal health. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency and identify its associated factors among patients with musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) currently seeking medical attention. Methods: A total of 143 patients with MSDs were randomly selected for blood sample collection to measure serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of the study participants. Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to compute the adjusted odds ratio. Results: Overall, 53.1% of patients had vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency was more prevalent among patients with higher body mass index, a bachelor’s degree, lower sun exposure time, and lower serum calcium levels and those living in an urban setting. The multiple logistic regression model suggested that the duration of weekly sun exposure and living location were the independent predictors of vitamin D deficiency. Conclusion: It is recommended for patients with MSDs to participate in routine physical exercise, consume calcium- and vitamin D-enriched foods, and have regular sun exposure for minimizing the risk of vitamin D deficiency.
