Factor Structure and Psychometric Properties of the L2 Savoring Beliefs Inventory

The rise of positive psychology (PP) in applied linguistics has led to a focus on the role of positive emotional functioning in second language (L2) learning and teaching. This field has identified key constructs from PP to understand how to replace negative emotions with positive ones in L2 learning. Despite these advancements, there is a need for a specific framework and scale to foster and measure positive emotions in this context. The concept of savoring, which involves recognizing and embracing positive emotions, addresses this need. The paper investigates the factorial structure and psychometric properties of the Language-Specific Savoring Beliefs Inventory (L2SBI) through exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM). The results revealed that the bifactor ESEM solution is the most suitable model for assessing L2SBI. In other words, the L2SBI can be better represented by a comprehensive general component of L2 savoring beliefs, distinct from the three specific factors of anticipating progress in learning English, savoring the moment while learning English, and reminiscing about experiences in learning English. The study confirms the consistency of the L2SBI across genders and language levels, offering insights into varying belief patterns among learners and explaining differences in positive learning outcomes.

Sub-nano porous graphene-based membranes enabled by in-situ-grown ZIF-8 for enhanced CO2 capture

Graphene oxide (GO) membranes hold promise for selective CO2 adsorption over N2 due to their carboxyl groups, making them attractive for flue gas CO2 capture. However, challenges such as limited carboxyl content, flexible nanosheets, and dense layer stacking hinder their N2/CO2 gas selectivity, pressure resistance, and permeability. In this study, we introduce a specific sub-nanometer framework structure within GO membranes by in-situ growing ZIF-8 nanocrystals. This novel approach, achieved through simultaneous infiltration of zinc nitrate and 2-methylimidazole precursors on both sides of the membrane, enhances CO2 capture and pressure resistance capabilities of resulting ZIF-8@GO composite membranes. Additionally, the incorporation of carboxylated wrinkled graphene (WG) and ethylenediamine (EDA) cross-linking agent molecules improves CO2 capture capability and introduces reinforced porous structures to enhance permeability. Experimental results demonstrate remarkable permeability, selectivity, and pressure resistance of the prepared ZIF-8@EDA-GO/WG composite membranes. Under a gas pressure of 0.2 MPa, permeability reaches 1850 GPU, with theoretical selectivity for N2/CO2 single gas and separation factors for mixed gases of 18.3 and 32.3, respectively, surpassing conventional GO membranes (3 GPU, 1.1, and 1.2). Even under elevated air pressure conditions (1.2 MPa), the composite membranes maintain a theoretical selectivity of 13.4. Our CO2 capture membrane design strategy not only advances the development of functional membranes but also contributes to mitigating CO2 emissions from flue gas, thereby combating global warming.

Implementing Board Rotation: A Potential Remedy for Nigeria’s “Boardroom Bubble”? Examining Benefits and Limitations

This article examines the potential and limitations of director rotation as a response to the "boardroom bubble" phenomenon in Nigerian companies. Gaining traction as a key corporate governance practice, director rotation seeks to mitigate stagnant decision-making within boards. The research explores how this approach can enhance corporate governance, accountability, and oversight. Our study suggests that while director rotation holds significant promise in reducing board entrenchment and strengthening corporate governance, it is not without drawbacks. These drawbacks include: Lack of independence among directors, reduced knowledge continuity on matters such as ESG (Environmental Social and Governance) factors or long-term strategies, difficulty finding suitable successors who share their predecessors’ characteristics (e.g., gender) as well as turmoil created when introducing inexperienced members onto Boards at times of crisis. Additionally, it does not address other important aspects of board diversity i.e., racial or ethnic background or educational achievements, which remain overlooked through this process alone. While acknowledging the benefits of rotation as a potential remedy for the “boardroom bubble,” this paper advocates for a nuanced approach to board rotation in Nigeria. Our research undertakes a comprehensive examination of Nigeria’s legal and regulatory landscape for implementing rotational boards, employing a rigorous doctrinal approach. The analysis delves into primary sources of data, such as the relevant Acts of the National Assembly and pertinent case law, while the secondary data are mainly books, journals, periodicals and web-based materials. In addition, the work proposes further research to explore specific regulatory frameworks and best practices tailored to the Nigerian context.

Viscosity calculation of bitumen system based on Debye-Stokes-Einstein (DSE) theory using an improved averaging strategy

From a molecular perspective, the viscosity of bitumen is determined by the motions of its molecules. Therefore, it is crucial to establish a relationship between different fractions of bitumen and their corresponding viscosities. In order to achieve this objective, the utilization of molecular dynamics simulation methodology proves to be promising. However, current practices indicate that there is no consensus on a specific simulation framework that can accurately simulate bitumen with predetermined fractions. Hence, this study proposes an improved averaging strategy as a modification to the existing simulation method. Specifically, the analysis focused on examining the rigidity and flexibility of pyrrole in bitumen to establish a foundation for vector selection. Furthermore, the influence of sampling time and interval was thoroughly discussed. To predict bitumen viscosity using the Debye-Stokes-Einstein (DSE) method, the modified Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts (mKWW) function was employed to fit self-autocorrelation functions. The findings revealed that neglecting the relative flexibility of branch chains would be inadequate when describing self-autocorrelation functions. Additionally, it is crucial to consider both sampling time and interval in order to obtain a more realistic representation of self-autocorrelation functions. This study demonstrates the feasibility of an improved averaging strategy for enhancing viscosity calculation accuracy.

An exploration of cultural competence in career services with international students

AbstractThis study reports on career development professionals’ (CDPs) understanding and use of cultural competence in their work with international students. The Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies guided the study as a conceptual framework based on the literature on international student experiences. The research team used an exploratory qualitative design informed by the community‐based participatory and social justice research approaches. The study included two phases: a survey (n = 33) and semi‐structured interviews (n = 12). The survey results indicated limited familiarity with specific competency frameworks and informed the semi‐structured interviews. Five themes emerged: (1) Awareness of intersectionality and systems of oppression; (2) the need for a holistic approach to career services; (3) specific cultural competence skills; (4) systemic barriers for both international students and CDPs; and (5) the need for advocacy on behalf of and with international students. The findings are discussed with implications for CDPs, institutions, and systemic change.

Assembly of Copper Alkynyl Clusters into Dimensionally Diverse Coordinated Polymers Mediated by Pyridine Ligands.

Surface ligands play crucial roles in modifying the properties of metal nanoclusters and stabilizing atomically precise structures, and also serve as vital linkers for constructing cluster-based coordination polymers. In this study, we present the results of the solvothermal synthesis of eight novel copper alkynyl clusters incorporating pyridine ligands using a one-pot method. The resulting compounds underwent characterization through elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD). Our observations revealed that distinct pyridine ligands with varying lengths and coordination sites exert significant influence on the structure and dimensionality of the clusters. The structural diversity of these clusters led to the formation of one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), or dimer arrangements linked by seven pyridine bridging ligands. Remarkably, these complexes exhibited unique UV-vis absorption and photoluminescence properties, which were influenced by the specific bridging ligand and structural framework. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated the capability of the conjugated system in the pyridine ligand to impact the band gap of clusters. This study not only unveils the inherent structural diversity in coordination polymers based on copper alkynyl clusters but also offers valuable insights into harnessing ligand engineering for structural and property modulation.

Exploring Child Grooming Sexual Abuse through Differential Association Theory: A Criminological and Legal Examination with Constitutional Implications

The rapid evolution of technology, particularly the ubiquitous presence of the internet, has brought about significant societal changes. While technological advancements have brought numerous benefits, they have also introduced new challenges and risks. Among these challenges is the alarming rise of child grooming, a form of sexual harassment perpetrated against minors, facilitated by the online environment. In Indonesia, the incidence of child grooming is increasingly prevalent, with several reported cases highlighting its emergence as a pressing societal issue. However, the absence of specific legal frameworks addressing this crime has posed significant challenges for law enforcement authorities tasked with its prevention and prosecution. The lack of dedicated legislation targeting child grooming underscores the need for a comprehensive legal response to effectively combat this form of exploitation. Currently, law enforcement officials rely on discretion in the absence of specific legal provisions, resulting in ad-hoc approaches to addressing these cases. This paper employs a normative juridical approach, utilizing The Statute Approach, to examine the legal landscape surrounding child grooming in Indonesia. By synthesizing existing literature and statutory regulations, this study aims to shed light on the legal complexities inherent in combating this emerging crime. In conclusion, while child grooming remains a relatively new phenomenon in Indonesia, its detrimental impact on minors necessitates urgent legislative action. By enacting dedicated laws and policies, the Indonesian government can provide law enforcement agencies with the necessary tools to effectively address and mitigate the prevalence of child grooming, ensuring the protection and well-being of the nation's youth.

РОЗШИРЕННЯ НАТО НА СХІД ЯК ЧИННИК ПОГІРШЕННЯ ВІДНОСИН МІЖ ЗАХОДОМ ТА РОСІЙСЬКОЮ ФЕДЕРАЦІЄЮ

2019 can be considered a symbolic year for the North Atlantic Treaty Organi- zation. On the one hand, the longest-lasting military-political block of modern times celebrated its seventieth anniversary; on the other hand, this circular date coincided with the thirtieth anniversary of the fall of the Iron Curtain. Indeed, the North Atlantic Alliance had something to be proud of: it managed not only to survive its geopolitical visage of the Cold War era – the Soviet Union – but also to accept new countries that were either part of the USSR or were in its sphere of influence. But it would be inappropriate to claim that the post-Cold War period has been an “easy walk” for NATO. Of course, there was an expan- sion of “Pax Atlantica” due to the entry of countries that were on the other side of the “Iron Curtain”. It is noteworthy, however, that precisely this step is often seen as one of the reasons for the gradual deterioration of relations between the West and the Russian Federation. Assessing the impact of the post-bipolar ex- pansion of the North Atlantic Alliance on the deterioration of relations between the West and the Russian Federation largely depends on the specific framework applied. On the one hand, political idealists see the NATO enlargement as the realization of each states’ natural right to choose its own foreign policy: in the end, the states of the former “socialist camp” themselves opted for Euro-At- lantic integration. On the other hand, supporters of political realism, for whom the balance of power and spheres of influence remain the main determinants of international relations, consider the enlargement of NATO to be a tool for asserting the U.S. global dominance after the collapse of the USSR. Some rea- lists argue that the post-bipolar enlargement of NATO, allegedly initiated and promoted by the United States, was perceived in the Russian Federation as an encroachment on its “legitimate” sphere of interests, hence contributing to the Kremlin’s turn to aggressive revisionism. However, the assertion that the United States should “recognize reality” and return to a policy of balance of power is overly focused on the geopolitical games of the so-called “great po- wers,” where other states, including Ukraine, are only objects whose interests are irrelevant. In any case, the question of NATO enlargement is not a defining issue, but merely a symptom of the underlying problems of the post-bipolar – or rather transitional – world order, whose transformation is a matter of time.

Multidimensional impact of sport types on the psychological well-being of student athletes: A multivariate investigation

The correlation between sports participation and psychological well-being is well-documented, revealing a complex interplay influenced by competition level and cultural context. This is particularly relevant in Korea, where the university sports culture significantly impacts student life. This study evaluates how competitive versus non-competitive sports affect Korean university students' psychological well-being using a quantitative approach with SmartPLS 4 for multi-group analysis. Findings reveal that competitive sports significantly enhance mental toughness and stress management through structured coping mechanisms and robust social support, improving coping strategy effectiveness by 34 % compared to non-competitive sports. Conversely, participants in non-competitive sports experience greater general well-being with a 40 % higher use of informal support. These insights suggest that university sports programs could benefit from targeted interventions incorporating specific coping strategies and social support frameworks tailored to the competitive context. This research underscores the need for precise stress management techniques and resilience-building exercises in sports curricula to optimize psychological well-being across different sports environments in Korean universities.

A novel framework for analyzing internet of things datasets for machine learning and deep learning-based intrusion detection systems

To generate a machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) architecture with good performance, we need a decent dataset for the training and testing phases of the development process. Starting with the knowledge discovery and data mining (KDD) Cup 99 dataset, numerous datasets have been produced since 1998 to be utilized in the ML and DL-based intrusion detection systems (IDS) training and testing process. Because there are so many datasets accessible, it might be challenging for researchers to choose which dataset to employ. Therefore, a framework for evaluating dataset appropriateness with the research to be conducted is becoming increasingly crucial as new datasets are regularly created. Additionally, given the growing popularity of internet of things (IoT) devices and an increasing number of specific datasets for IoT in recent years, it is essential to have a specific framework for IoT datasets. Therefore, this research aims to develop a new framework for evaluating IoT datasets for ML and DL-based IDS. The study's findings include, first, a novel framework for assessing IoT datasets, second, a comparison of this novel framework to other existing frameworks, and third, an analysis of five IoT datasets by using the new framework.

Accountants and Sustainability Reporting

This study enhances the understanding of sustainability reporting by examining Icelandic auditors’ readiness to engage with existing sustainability frameworks. In collaboration with the Association of Certified Public Accountants in Iceland, a survey was conducted in 2022. The results highlighted a significant gap in knowledge and experience among Icelandic auditors regarding eight specific sustainability frameworks—which, notably, lacked any legal audit requirements at the time. In a similar survey in the United States focused on auditors’ familiarity with sustainability reporting within financial statements and their practical experience in this area came to comparable conclusions. To build on these findings, future research could utilize qualitative interviews to delve deeper into auditors’ perspectives and practices, particularly within audit teams. Exploring how audit firms develop expertise in sustainability reporting practices could also yield important insights into effective strategies. This study points to a critical need for improved education and training in sustainability reporting. The recent requirement for mandatory audits of sustainability reports—introduced after our survey—underscores the urgency of addressing these educational gaps.

Determining value in the treatment of activated PI3Kδ syndrome in Spain: a multicriteria decision analysis from the perspective of key stakeholders

Introduction: Activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)δ syndrome (APDS) is an ultra-rare inborn error of immunity (IEI) combining immunodeficiency and immune dysregulation. This study determined what represents value in APDS in Spain from a multidisciplinary perspective applying multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) methodology. Methods: A multidisciplinary committee of nine experts scored the evidence matrix. A specific framework for orphan drug evaluation in Spain and the weights assigned by a panel of 98 evaluators and decision-makers was used. Re-evaluation of scores was performed. Results: APDS is considered a very severe disease with important unmet needs, including misdiagnosis and diagnostic delay. Current management is limited to treatment of symptoms with off-label use of therapies supported by limited evidence. Therapeutic benefit is partial, resulting in limited disease control. Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), the only potential curative alternative, is restricted to a reduced patient population and without evidence of long-term efficacy or safety. All options present a limited safety profile. Data on patients’ quality of life are lacking. APDS is associated with high pharmacological, medical and indirect costs. Conclusions: APDS is considered a severe disease, with limited understanding by key stakeholders of how treatment success is assessed in clinical practice, the serious impact that has on patients and the associated high economic burden. This study brings to light how MCDA methodology could represent a useful tool to complement current clinical and decision-making methods used by APDS experts and evaluators.

Capital Structure and Financing Decisions in Southeast Asia’s Property and Real Estate Sector: A Systematic Literature Review

This systematic literature review evaluates the existing research on capital structure and financing decisions within the property and real estate sector of Southeast Asia (ASEAN). Despite the sector's dynamic growth and substantial investments, the financial strategies specific to ASEAN remain minimally explored. A methodical review of scholarly articles from ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar spanning from 2000 to 2023. Our analysis identified prevalent themes and trends, notably the application of traditional capital structure theories such as pecking order and trade-off theories to more developed markets. However, the review highlights a significant gap in empirical research focusing on the unique economic, regulatory, and market conditions in ASEAN that crucially impact capital structure and financing choices in the region's property sector. The findings emphasize the need for more targeted empirical studies that account for the socio-economic diversity and specific institutional frameworks of ASEAN countries. These studies aim to enhance understanding of the financing behaviors in their property and real estate markets, thus aiding policymakers and investors in crafting informed strategies and policies.

A Current Design Approach for Ming Chairs

Ergonomics are key in the design and application of Ming-style chairs. However, there are presently few specific design frameworks to guide Ming-style chair design. Under this background, the present study developed a questionnaire on the ergonomic design of Ming-style chairs and assessed its validity and reliability. Fifty-two respondents involved in the design and manufacture of Ming-style chairs participated in this study. The statistics of the questionnaire were analyzed and yielded a significant reliability coefficient (α > 0.70, p < 0.01). This ergonomic design framework study of Ming-style chairs analyzed the domains of Chair Form, Aesthetics, Safety, Comfort, Ease-of-use, and Productivity. To assess the importance of various design elements, we used a five-point Likert scale to score items within each domain. This scoring system enabled us to prioritize features, allowing the designers to focus on the essential elements before beginning the design process. We found that designers and manufacturers focused primarily on the Four-headed Official Chair with Armrests form.

Unleashing capacity in the water sector: A framework for public entities

ABSTRACT Capacity development in the water sector is crucial to achieving universal, adequate, sustainable, and resilient services. It has been broadly recognized as a priority, connected with governance and management of water resources and water and sanitation services. Through a scoping review including 153 scientific articles and 103 other documents, complemented with a consultation of experts, this article presents how the concept of ‘capacity development’ has evolved, what levels it consists of, and which are the key elements of success for effective capacity development processes. The article finds that most existing frameworks do not conduct any in-depth analysis of the determinants that define capacity at different levels and that there is no specific framework for public water-related entities. To address this gap, a dedicated capacity development framework is proposed for the public water sector, defining the key determinants to be pondered in the analysis of the situation at different levels and types of interventions to achieve outcomes at each level. The framework will enable practitioners and policymakers to acknowledge the complexity and develop more systematic work on capacity development in water through various types of interventions that can support them.

A Methodological Approach to Quantifying Silent Pauses, Speech Rate, and Articulation Rate across Distinct Narrative Tasks: Introducing the Connected Speech Analysis Protocol (CSAP).

The examination of connected speech may serve as a valuable tool for exploring speech output in both healthy speakers and individuals with language disorders. Numerous studies incorporate various fluency and silence measures into their analyses to investigate speech output patterns in different populations, along with the underlying cognitive processes that occur while speaking. However, methodological inconsistencies across existing studies pose challenges in comparing their results. In the current study, we introduce CSAP (Connected Speech Analysis Protocol), which is a specific methodological approach to investigate fluency metrics, such as articulation rate and speech rate, as well as silence measures, including silent pauses' frequency and duration. We emphasize the importance of employing a comprehensive set of measures within a specific methodological framework to better understand speech output patterns. Additionally, we advocate for the use of distinct narrative tasks for a thorough investigation of speech output in different conditions. We provide an example of data on which we implement CSAP to showcase the proposed pipeline. In conclusion, CSAP offers a comprehensive framework for investigating speech output patterns, incorporating fluency metrics and silence measures in distinct narrative tasks, thus allowing a detailed quantification of connected speech in both healthy and clinical populations. We emphasize the significance of adopting a unified methodological approach in connected speech studies, enabling the integration of results for more robust and generalizable conclusions.

Topology Prediction of Gas-Separating Metal-Organic Frameworks with Low Symmetry Vertices.

Topology serves as a blueprint for the construction of reticular structures such as metal-organic frameworks, especially for those based on building blocks with highly symmetrical shapes. However, it remains a challenge to predict the topology of the frameworks from less symmetrical units, because their corresponding vertex figures are largely deformed from the perfect geometries with no "default" net embedding. Furthermore, vertices involving flexible units may have multiple shape choices, and the competition among their designated topologies makes the structure prediction in large uncertainty. Herein, the deformation index is proposed to characterize the symmetry loss of the vertex figure by comparing it with its ideal geometry. The mathematical index is employed to predict the shapes of two in situ formed Co-based metalloligands (pseudo-tetrahedron and pseudo-square), which further dictate the framework topology (flu and scu) when they are joined with the [Zr6O8]-based cuboid units. The two frameworks with very similar constituents provide an ideal platform to investigate how the pore shapes and interconnectivity influence the gas separation. The net with cylindrical channels outperforms the other with discreate cages in C3H8/C2H6/CH4 separation, benefiting from the facile accessibility of its interaction sites to the guests imposed by the specific framework topology.

Internet of Medical Things Security Frameworks for Risk Assessment and Management: A Scoping Review.

The massive expansion of the Internet of medical things (IoMT) technology brings many opportunities for improving healthcare. At the same time, their use increases security risks, brings security and privacy concerns, and threatens the functioning of healthcare facilities or healthcare provision. This scoping review aims to identify progress in designing risk assessment and management frameworks for IoMT security. The frameworks found are divided into two groups according to whether frameworks address the technological design of risk management or assess technological measures to ensure the security of the IoMT environment. Furthermore, the article intends to find out whether frameworks also include an assessment of organisational measures related to IoMT security. This review was prepared using PRISMA ScR guidelines. Relevant studies were searched in the citation databases Web of Science and Scopus. The search was limited to articles published in English between 2018 and 17 September 2023. The initial search yielded 1341 articles, of which 44 (3.3%) were included in the scoping review. A qualitative content analysis focused on selected security perspectives and progress in the given area was carried out. Thirty-two articles describe the design of risk assessment and management frameworks. Twelve articles describe the design of frameworks for assessing the security of IoMT devices and possibly offer a comparison of different IoMT alternatives. A description of the included articles was prepared from the selected security perspectives. The review shows the need to create comprehensive or holistic frameworks for operational security and privacy risk management at all layers of the IoMT architecture. It includes the design of specific technological solutions and frameworks for continuously assessing the overall level of information security and privacy of the IoMT environment. Unfortunately, none of the found frameworks offer an assessment of organizational measures even though the importance of the organization measures was highlighted in articles. Another area of interest for researchers could be the design of a general risk management database for IoMT, which would include potential IoMT-related risks connected to a particular device.

Trends in mathematics education and insights from a meta-review and bibliometric analysis of review studies

Review studies are vital for advancing knowledge in many scientific fields, including mathematics education, amid burgeoning publications. Based on an extensive consideration of existing review typologies, we conducted a meta-review and bibliometric analysis to provide a comprehensive overview of and deeper insights into review studies within mathematics education. After searching Web of Science, we identified 259 review studies, revealing a significant increase in such studies over the last five years. Systematic reviews were the most prevalent type, followed by meta-analyses, generic literature reviews, and scoping reviews. On average, the review studies had a sample size of 99, with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines commonly employed. Despite certain studies offering nuanced distinctions among review types, ambiguity persisted. Only about a quarter of the studies explicitly reported employing specific theoretical frameworks (particularly, technology, knowledge, and competence models). Co-authored publications were most common within American institutions and the leading countries are the United States, Germany, China, Australia, and England in publishing most review studies. Educational review journals, educational psychology journals, special education journals, educational technology journals, and mathematics education journals provided platforms for review studies, and prominent research topics included digital technologies, teacher education, mathematics achievement, and learning disabilities. In this study, we synthesised a range of reviews to facilitate readers’ comprehension of conceptual congruities and disparities across various review types, as well as to track current research trends. The results suggest that there is a need for discipline-specific standards and guidelines for different types of mathematics education reviews, which may lead to more high-quality review studies to enhance progress in mathematics education.
