Originality/value The study fills the optimization techniques gap that exists in SC management bibliometric studies and presents a thematic map for the SCO research highlighting the various research foci.

Student veterans’ transition and reintegration into education: a transnational scoping review

ABSTRACT This scoping review focuses on student veterans’ transition and reintegration into education and presents key themes in international student veteran research. Grounded in a literature search in ERIC, Scopus, and Web of Science, our scoping review includes 137 articles across research disciplines. It covers publications from the last 15 years, with a transnational focus. Analysis of these articles resulted in two key themes: (1) Transition challenges of student veterans, including differences in military and academic learning, mental health challenges in class and on campus, and social interaction with non-veteran students and faculty. (2) Support efforts for student veterans, including becoming a veteran-friendly campus, academic support, mental health support, and social support. In addition to discussing these key themes across articles, we map prevalent conceptual frameworks, and discuss commonly used definitions of student veterans, veteran demographics, as well as descriptions of military education culture and academic education culture that we found in the literature. The subsequent discussion highlights that the academic success of student veterans often focuses on metrics, which highlights the qualification function of education, while disregarding the socialisation of veterans in education and their development of relative autonomy.

Moderate aerobic training enhances the effectiveness of insulin therapy through hypothalamic IGF1 signaling in rat model of Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurological condition that is connected with a decline in a person's memory as well as their cognitive ability. One of the key topics of AD research has been the exploration of metabolic causes. We investigated the effects of treadmill exercise and intranasal insulin on learning and memory impairment and the expression of IGF1, BDNF, and GLUT4 in hypothalamus. The animals were put into 9 groups at random. In this study, we examined the impact of insulin on spatial memory in male Wistar rats and analyzed the effects of a 4-week pretreatment of moderate treadmill exercise and insulin on the mechanisms of improved hypothalamic glucose metabolism through changes in gene and protein expression of IGF1, BDNF, and GLUT4. We discovered that rat given Aβ25–35 had impaired spatial learning and memory, which was accompanied by higher levels of Aβ plaque burden in the hippocampus and lower levels of IGF1, BDNF, and GLUT4 mRNA and protein expression in the hypothalamus. Additionally, the administration of exercise training and intranasal insulin results in the enhancement of spatial learning and memory impairments, the reduction of plaque burden in the hippocampus, and the enhancement of the expression of IGF1, BDNF, and GLUT4 in the hypothalamus of rats that were treated with Aβ25–35. Our results show that the improvement of learning and spatial memory due to the improvement of metabolism and upregulation of the IGF1, BDNF, and GLUT4 pathways can be affected by pretreatment exercise and intranasal insulin.

The first BILGENSA Research Network workshop in Zambia: identifying research priorities, challenges and needs in genital bilharzia in Southern Africa.

Female genital schistosomiasis (FGS) and male genital schistosomiasis (MGS) are gender-specific manifestations of urogenital schistosomiasis. Morbidity is a consequence of prolonged inflammation in the human genital tract caused by the entrapped eggs of the waterborne parasite, Schistosoma (S.) haematobium. Both diseases affect the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) of millions of people globally, especially in sub-Sahara Africa (SSA). Awareness and knowledge of these diseases is largely absent among affected communities and healthcare workers in endemic countries. Accurate burden of FGS and MGS disease estimates, single and combined, are absent, mostly due to the absence of standardized methods for individual or population-based screening and diagnosis. In addition, there are disparities in country-specific FGS and MGS knowledge, research and implementation approaches, and diagnosis and treatment. There are currently no WHO guidelines to inform practice. The BILGENSA (Genital Bilharzia in Southern Africa) Research Network aimed to create a collaborative multidisciplinary network to advance clinical research of FGS and MGS across Southern African endemic countries. The workshop was held in Lusaka, Zambia over two days in November 2022. Over 150 researchers and stakeholders from different schistosomiasis endemic settings attended. Attendees identified challenges and research priorities around FGS and MGS from their respective countries. Key research themes identified across settings included: 1) To increase the knowledge about the local burden of FGS and MGS; 2) To raise awareness among local communities and healthcare workers; 3) To develop effective and scalable guidelines for disease diagnosis and management; 4) To understand the effect of treatment interventions on disease progression, and 5) To integrate FGS and MGS within other existing sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services. In its first meeting, the BILGENSA Network set forth a common research agenda across S. haematobium endemic countries for the control of FGS and MGS.

Experimental research on the mechanical properties of alkali-resistant glass fiber concrete acting as tunnel seismic isolation layer under periodic cyclic dynamic loading

The installation of seismic isolation layer is an effective measure to ensure the safe operation of underground projects such as tunnels during extreme seismic activities. Material parameters, mechanical properties, and design patterns of the seismic isolation layer are key research topics in exploring effective reduction of seismic response. This study mainly focused on the dynamic performance of the seismic isolation layer in tunnels. A series of drop hammer impact tests and laboratory shaking table tests were performed to reveal the seismic features of the seismic isolation layer under periodic external loading. The test results indicated that all cracks in the specimen initiated from the center and dispersed outwards under the cycle impact of the drop hammer. The incorporation of alkali-resistant glass fibers in concrete (AR-GFRC) effectively provided "reinforcement " and "crack resistance" under cyclic loading of the drop hammer, and the minimum number and width of cracks were observed at a 0.75 % HD fiber content and a 0.5 % HP fiber content. In the x- and y-axis directions, the seismic isolation layer effectively mitigated peak acceleration, strain response, and displacement at the tunnel vault and invert, but significant nonlinearity was identified. When the thickness of seismic isolation layer was 10 mm, the peak seismic response of the lining were minimum at a 0.75 % HD fiber content and a 0.5 % HP fiber content. However, the thickness of the lining was not directly related to the destruction of the lining. The tunnel mainly experienced shear deformation in the x-axis direction, with significant deformations from the left arch waist to the right arch foot (45°-225°), resulting in transverse cracking. The tunnel primarily underwent tensile and compressive deformation in the y-axis direction, with significant deformations occurring in the inverted vault (0°-180°), resulting in tension and circumferential cracks. This research can provide valuable data support and reference for the design and construction of underground projects such as tunnels.

Returning to the teaching of human rights for social work. Lessons learned in Chile from the last 50-30-5 years

ABSTRACT How should we teach recent history to uncover the links between social work and human rights? To answer this question, we critically analyze recent events in Chile with an emphasis on the training process of social work students. A series of recent events have revived the debate on memory, the guarantee of non-repetition, and human rights. The estallido social (2019), attempts to reform the constitution inherited from the military dictatorship, and the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the coup (2023) all confirm the importance of training policies, remembrance, and teaching practices in transmitting to new generations the experience gained while assisting victims of human rights violations and crimes against humanity. We review three time frames, which we illustrate through interviews and examples of collaborative and teaching work that contextualize social work education in human rights, exploring possible ways to promote remembrance and support the search for truth, justice, and guarantees of non-repetition. Lastly, based on our findings, we propose key training and research topics that can be implemented in undergraduate and graduate education in the region.
