Science - Abstract
Abstract Climate change is currently one of humanity’s greatest threats. To help scholars understand the psychology of climate change, we conducted an online quasi-experimental survey on 59,508 participants from 63 countries (collected between July 2022 and July 2023). In a between-subjects design, we tested 11 interventions designed to promote climate change mitigation across four outcomes: climate change belief, support for climate policies, willingness to share information on social media, and performance on an effortful pro-environmental behavioural task. Participants also reported their demographic information (e.g., age, gender) and several other independent variables (e.g., political orientation, perceptions about the scientific consensus). In the no-intervention control group, we also measured important additional variables, such as environmentalist identity and trust in climate science. We report the collaboration procedure, study design, raw and cleaned data, all survey materials, relevant analysis scripts, and data visualisations. This dataset can be used to further the understanding of psychological, demographic, and national-level factors related to individual-level climate action and how these differ across countries.

Abstract This paper describes an approach for developing strategic cycle network planning tools. Based on our experience developing and deploying the Cycle Route Uptake and Scenario Estimation (CRUSE) Tool for Ireland, we outline the underlying methods, including disaggregation of origin–destination data with the open source ‘odjitter’ software, incorporation of additional trip purposes, routing, scenario generation, and development of an intuitive user interface that is tested and used by practitioners. Commissioned by the national infrastructure agency Transport Infrastructure Ireland, CRUSE provides estimates of current and potential future cycling levels under ‘snapshot’ scenarios to inform investment decisions. The publicly available results at https://cruse.bike/ enable planners, engineers, and other stakeholders to make more evidence-based decisions. CRUSE goes beyond previous work by: modeling networks at high spatial resolution; simulating multiple trip purposes (social, shopping, personal utility, recreational, and cycle touring), supplementing official origin–destination datasets on travel for work and education; and providing estimates of ‘quietness’ (a proxy for cyclist comfort and route preference) at the route segment level. Three network types—‘Fastest’, ‘Balanced’, and ‘Quietest’—help plan both arterial and residential cycle networks. Workshops with stakeholders were used to inform the development of the tool. Feedback shows that the tool has a wide range of uses and is already being used in practice to inform urban, inter-urban, and rural cycle network designs. The approach is flexible and open source, allowing the underlying ideas and code to be adapted, supporting more evidence-based and effective cycling policies and interventions internationally.

There is a growing movement in Canada towards youth homelessness prevention. One such response, called shelter diversion aims to move young people into safe and supportive housing as quickly as possible. The objective of this project is to assess how, and in what ways, shelter diversion operates and whether this intervention permanently or temporarily diverts youth from homelessness. Our project is grounded in principles of community-based participatory research including community/university partnerships and an advisory committee of lived-experience experts. Our team is utilizing mixed methods to capture the outcomes of diversion programs. Data collection began in September 2022 and ended in May 2024. Quantitative and qualitative data analysis is underway. Preliminary results show differences in how diversion is defined and implemented across organizations. There are also differences in staffing models and program budgets. The findings from this study will contribute to a recommendation for a national definition and adaptable program model for shelter diversion, easily accessible to support the expansion of diversion programs into youth-serving organizations across Canada. This study is the first in Canada to examine the effectiveness of shelter diversion as an early intervention strategy to prevent youth homelessness on a national scale.

Abstract Background Incorporating genomic data into risk prediction has become an increasingly popular approach for rapid identification of individuals most at risk for complex disorders such as PTSD. Our goal was to develop and validate Methylation Risk Scores (MRS) using machine learning to distinguish individuals who have PTSD from those who do not. Methods Elastic Net was used to develop three risk score models using a discovery dataset (n = 1226; 314 cases, 912 controls) comprised of 5 diverse cohorts with available blood-derived DNA methylation (DNAm) measured on the Illumina Epic BeadChip. The first risk score, exposure and methylation risk score (eMRS) used cumulative and childhood trauma exposure and DNAm variables; the second, methylation-only risk score (MoRS) was based solely on DNAm data; the third, methylation-only risk scores with adjusted exposure variables (MoRSAE) utilized DNAm data adjusted for the two exposure variables. The potential of these risk scores to predict future PTSD based on pre-deployment data was also assessed. External validation of risk scores was conducted in four independent cohorts. Results The eMRS model showed the highest accuracy (92%), precision (91%), recall (87%), and f1-score (89%) in classifying PTSD using 3730 features. While still highly accurate, the MoRS (accuracy = 89%) using 3728 features and MoRSAE (accuracy = 84%) using 4150 features showed a decline in classification power. eMRS significantly predicted PTSD in one of the four independent cohorts, the BEAR cohort (beta = 0.6839, p=0.006), but not in the remaining three cohorts. Pre-deployment risk scores from all models (eMRS, beta = 1.92; MoRS, beta = 1.99 and MoRSAE, beta = 1.77) displayed a significant (p

Abstract Background Despite continuing advancements in treatments for opioid use disorder (OUD), continued high rates of relapse indicate the need for more effective approaches, including novel pharmacological interventions. Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) provide a promising avenue as a non-opioid medication for the treatment of OUD. Whereas GLP-1RAs have shown promise as a treatment for alcohol and nicotine use disorders, to date, no controlled clinical trials have been conducted to determine if a GLP-1RA can reduce craving in individuals with OUD. The purpose of the current protocol was to evaluate the potential for a GLP-1RA, liraglutide, to safely and effectively reduce craving in an OUD population in residential treatment. Method This preliminary study was a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial designed to test the safety and efficacy of the GLP-1RA, liraglutide, in 40 participants in residential treatment for OUD. Along with taking a range of safety measures, efficacy for cue-induced craving was evaluated prior to (Day 1) and following (Day 19) treatment using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) in response to a cue reactivity task during functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and for craving. Efficacy of treatment for ambient craving was assessed using Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) prior to (Study Day 1), across (Study Days 2–19), and following (Study Days 20–21) residential treatment. Discussion This manuscript describes a protocol to collect clinical data on the safety and efficacy of a GLP-1RA, liraglutide, during residential treatment of persons with OUD, laying the groundwork for further evaluation in a larger, outpatient OUD population. Improved understanding of innovative, non-opioid based treatments for OUD will have the potential to inform community-based interventions and health policy, assist physicians and health care professionals in the treatment of persons with OUD, and to support individuals with OUD in their effort to live a healthy life.

Abstract Importance Large-scale estimates of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) are warranted for adequate prevention and treatment. However, systematic approaches to ascertain rates of BPD are lacking.

Abstract Background Despite wide scale assessments, it remains unclear how large-scale severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination affected the wastewater concentration of the virus or the overall disease burden as measured by hospitalization rates. Methods We used weekly SARS-CoV-2 wastewater concentration with a stratified random sampling of seroprevalence, and linked vaccination and hospitalization data, from April 2021–August 2021 in Jefferson County, Kentucky (USA). Our susceptible ( $$S$$ S ), vaccinated ( $$V$$ V ), variant-specific infected ( $${I}_{1}$$ I 1 and $${I}_{2}$$ I 2 ), recovered ( $$R$$ R ), and seropositive ( $$T$$ T ) model ( $${SV}{I}_{2}{RT}$$ S V I 2 R T ) tracked prevalence longitudinally. This was related to wastewater concentration. Results Here we show the 64% county vaccination rate translate into about a 61% decrease in SARS-CoV-2 incidence. The estimated effect of SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant emergence is a 24-fold increase of infection counts, which correspond to an over 9-fold increase in wastewater concentration. Hospitalization burden and wastewater concentration have the strongest correlation (r = 0.95) at 1 week lag. Conclusions Our study underscores the importance of continuing environmental surveillance post-vaccine and provides a proof-of-concept for environmental epidemiology monitoring of infectious disease for future pandemic preparedness.

This pilot randomized controlled trial protocol aims to (1) assess the impact on the wellbeing of Syrian refugee young adults (18–24 years) of being a community mental health worker (CMHW) implementing WHO's evidence-based psychosocial intervention - Problem Management Plus (PM+) - with adults in their community, and (2) identify the mechanisms associated with the outcomes of enhanced wellbeing and coping, and reduced stress among these CMHWs. Over 108 million people have been forcibly displaced as of the end of 2022. Mental health consequences of these displacements are significant, yet human resources for health are not sufficient to meet the needs. A large proportion of refugee populations are youth and young adults (YA). Evidence indicates their engagement in supporting their communities leads to their own enhanced wellbeing and that of their community. This trial trains Syrian refugees to serve their communities as CMHW (n=19) or tutors (n=19) and compare wellbeing, stress and coping outcomes between these two groups and a control group (n = 40). We will also assess 7 mechanisms as potential pathways for the interventions to influence outcomes. Surveys will assess outcomes and mechanisms, hair samples will measure stress cortisol. The primary analysis will use a Bayesian Hierarchical Model approach to model the trajectories of the mechanisms and primary study endpoints over time for individuals in each of the arms. Our results will elucidate critical mechanisms in which engagement of young adults to support their community enhances their own wellbeing.

A educação digital tem se feito presente de forma cada vez mais diversa e consistente, desde o ensino formal até a produção de conteúdos educacionais em redes sociais. Nessas práticas, ganham destaque materiais de ensino-aprendizagem, dentre os quais destacamos os recursos educacionais digitais – ou recursos educacionais abertos (REAs). Por outro lado, a discussão acerca dos gêneros do discurso tem ganhado cada vez mais relevância e experimentado novos desdobramentos. Assim, considerando a importância que os REAs têm contemporaneamente na educação e a sua complexidade textual e discursiva, este trabalho tem como objetivo geral discutir a sua caracterização no quadro dos gêneros do discurso, mais especificamente sua constituição como gênero ou como hipergênero. Para isso, são mobilizados conceitos teóricos acerca do campo da educação e tecnologia, a exemplo de Castro Filho et al (2008), Santos (2013) Santana, Rossini e Pretto (2012), e dos estudos do texto e do discurso, como Marcuschi (2008), Távora (2008), Bonini (2011) e Bakhtin (2011). Os exemplares usados para análise são REAs produzidos no âmbito do Projeto EPTrilhas, desenvolvido pela Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina em parceria com a Secretaria de Educação Profissional e Tecnológica (SETEC) do Ministério da Educação. Essa análise evidenciou, pelas características do gênero, mídia e suporte, que os REAs multimodais em suporte virtual possuem características que os identificam como hipergêneros.

31. Triangulating on Developmental Models with a Combination of Experimental and Nonexperimental Estimates

Wan, Sirui, Brick, Timothy R., Alvarez-Vargas, Daniela, and Bailey, Drew H.
- Abstract
Plausible competing developmental models show similar or identical structural equation modeling model fit indices, despite making very different causal predictions. One way to help address this problem is incorporating outside information into selecting among models. This study attempted to select among developmental models of children's early mathematical skills by incorporating information about the extent to which models forecast the longitudinal pattern of causal impacts of early math interventions. We tested for the usefulness and validity of the approach by applying it to data from three randomized controlled trials of early math interventions with longitudinal follow-up assessments in the United States (Ns = 1,375, 591, 744; baseline age 4.3, 6.5, 4.4; 17%-69% Black). We found that, across data sets, (a) some models consistently outperformed other models at forecasting later experimental impacts, (b) traditional statistical fit indices were not strongly related to causal fit as indexed by models' accuracy at forecasting later experimental impacts, and (c) models showed consistent patterns of similarity and discrepancy between statistical fit and models' effectiveness at forecasting experimental impacts. We highlight the importance of triangulation and call for more comparisons of experimental and nonexperimental estimates for choosing among developmental models.

- Abstract
This paper reports on the rationale for the implementation of a pilot project using a scenario-based Virtual Reality (VR) resource, originally developed by Health Sciences at Coventry University and now being repurposed for Italian language learning as a collaborative project with Modern Languages and Linguistics at the University of Southampton. The original aim of the resource was to prepare health care students for home visits by allowing them to experience a semi-linear conversation with a virtual Non-player Character (NPC). The authors will discuss how they are planning to repurpose the resource for Italian language learning and teaching and will analyse the potential pedagogical uses within the modern language curriculum, including emotional language, employability skills, and the year abroad.

- Abstract
A Meta-analysis of selected studies on the effectiveness of gamification method for children. Multiple gamification methods are used to motivate students to improve their learning outcomes. Yet, this method is still very rarely used in learning for children aged 6-10 years. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to objectively determine the effectiveness of gamification method in increasing knowledge, skills and attitudes of children aged 6-10 years.The data were obtained from the ERIC, Emerald and Elsevier databases published between 2014-2018 using the keywords of "gamification on education", "gamification methods", and "children". In the chosen systematical analysis, 6 studies were then reviewed using a meta-analysis. The effect summary showed a value of 1.01 with confident interval of 0.98-1.05, which indicates that gamification method is statistically effective in improving students' knowledge, skills, and children's attitudes. The Z test with a value of 0.68 and a significance level of 5% also showed a significant effect of this method calculated by random-effect models.

IntroductionVolunteering in the community is thought to provide unique benefits to people who experience limited engagement in society. In the global South, volunteer programs are often framed as empowering women and benefiting the poor, without empirical evidence or systematic investigation of what this means from a local perspective. For this reason, it is critical to represent stakeholder knowledge, understand how change happens systemically, and reduce cultural bias in scientific inquiry and public policy. As such, efforts to respect diverse narratives and problem-solving approaches are key to science diplomacy – they help us understand cultural relevance, program efficacy, and for whom a program is considered transformative.Methods and resultsThis study shows how Syrian refugee and Jordanian women, living in resource-poor families, articulated (i) concepts of empowerment and life satisfaction and (ii) the benefits of engaging in community-based volunteering programs. Through engaging in a participatory methodology known as Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping, women generated visual representations of these constructs and cause-and-effect reasoning. They identified several dimensions of empowerment (e.g., cultural, financial, and psychological empowerment) and several meanings of life satisfaction (e.g. adaptation, acceptance, and contentment). They also mapped connections between variables, identifying those that might catalyze change. We were specifically interested in evaluating understandings of We Love Reading, a program that trains volunteers to become changemakers in their local community. In simulations, we modelled how employment, education, money, and volunteering would drive system change, with notable results on cultural empowerment.DiscussionThrough visual maps and scenarios of change, the study demonstrates a participatory approach to localizing knowledge and evaluating programs. This is key to improving scientific enquiry and public policy.

The 2019 London Extinction Rebellion was the first attempt by environmental protesters to create prolonged large-scale disruption in a Western capital city. The effects on public opinion were difficult to predict because protests seen as extreme can reduce support, but protests seen as justified can increase support. We studied longitudinal opinion changes in a nationally representative sample (n = 832) before, during, and after the rebellion, in conjunction with experimental analysis of the causal effects of media reports (n = 1441). The rebellion was longitudinally associated with national increases in environmental concern, and activist media increased dissatisfaction with current government action. Reports from different media sources caused activism intentions and support to move in different directions, contributing to longitudinally increased polarisation in attitudes to activism. The rebellion had minimal effects on belief in whether ordinary people can produce relevant change (based on collective efficacy and support for a Citizens’ Assembly). The rebellion thus apparently succeeded in strengthening general environmental attitudes without polarising them, and probably somewhat grew the pool of engaged activists, but did not lead to major growth in collective mobilisation or improved environmental policy.

Abstract Background and Aim C‐reactive protein (CRP)‐to‐albumin ratio (CAR) is a novel score with prognostic value in inflammatory conditions. This study assessed the performance of CAR as an objective marker of disease activity and prediction of subtherapeutic infliximab trough levels in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Methods A retrospective study was conducted on three different patient cohorts with IBD: patients who had (i) fecal calprotectin (FC) measurements; (ii) Mayo Endoscopic Scores; and (iii) infliximab trough levels available. The relative performances of CAR, albumin, and CRP were compared in predicting disease activity (based on FC or Mayo Endoscopic Score) and infliximab trough levels. Results In both the FC (n = 289) and endoscopy (n = 65) cohorts, albumin and CAR correlated with objective disease activity. CAR (area under the curve [AUC] 0.70) was only marginally better at detecting active disease, measured by FC, compared to CRP (AUC 0.68). A CAR >0.15 was able to detect Mayo 3 disease (AUC 0.83, sensitivity 81%, specificity 89%). Albumin (r = 0.38) and CAR (r = −0.42) correlated with infliximab trough levels (n = 204). The optimal CAR for detecting subtherapeutic infliximab trough levels was >0.08 (AUC 0.70, sensitivity 66%, specificity 64%). Both albumin and CAR were independent predictors of subtherapeutic infliximab trough levels but correlated poorly with infliximab trough levels longitudinally in the same patient. Conclusion CAR was only a modest discriminator of subtherapeutic infliximab levels and offers little more than CRP in detecting active disease. CAR has potential to detect severe Mayo 3 disease and could be calculated in patients admitted with suspected acute severe ulcerative colitis.

In psychological science, replicability—repeating a study with a new sample achieving consistent results (Parsons et al., 2022)—is critical for affirming the validity of scientific findings. Despite its importance, replication efforts are few and far between in psychological science with many attempts failing to corroborate past findings. This scarcity, compounded by the difficulty in accessing replication data, jeopardizes the efficient allocation of research resources and impedes scientific advancement. Addressing this crucial gap, we present the Replication Database (https://forrt-replications.shinyapps.io/fred_explorer), a novel platform hosting 1,239 original findings paired with replication findings. The infrastructure of this database allows researchers to submit, access, and engage with replication findings. The database makes replications visible, easily findable via a graphical user interface, and tracks replication rates across various factors, such as publication year or journal. This will facilitate future efforts to evaluate the robustness of psychological research.

- Abstract
This paper will report on a pilot Virtual Reality (VR) project which repurposes an existing scenario-based VR asset for health sciences. The original scenario aims to prepare health care students for home visits by allowing them to experience a semi-linear conversation with a virtual Non-Player Character (NPC). This provides a safe, non-threatening environment for students to hone the necessary skills they will need once they begin their professional careers. The NPC's simulated emotional state and reactions are changed based on the student's choice of responses. The original scenario was written in English but the opportunity to convert it into an Italian language learning resource by changing the audio files was identified and implemented. The scenario involves learners to be recurrently selecting from a number of possible responses in order to help the virtual character with his grievances regarding his father's care package.

40. Enhancing Learners' Professional Competence via Duolingo Classroom

Brick, Billy and Cervi-Wilson, Tiziana
- Abstract
Coventry University Institution Wide Language Programme (IWLP) offers beginners language learning modules to approximately 3,000 students. Each module is taught over 11 weeks for a total of one hour and 40 minutes and two of the weeks are used for in class tests, so tutors generally agree that students need to practise their skills outside the classroom in order to pass the module. One way of doing this was to use the language learning app, Duolingo, which helps students to gradually broaden their linguistic, professional competence, and digital fluency through increased learner autonomy. How effective this approach is, however, has never been measured. The project ran from January to April 2018 and explored whether a correlation exists between regular use of the app by IWLP learners at Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) level A1 of French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish, and achieving a high formal coursework assessment mark. The views of both learners and tutors of their experiences of using the software, and the tutor tools provided by Duolingo Schools, will also be canvassed. A virtual classroom was set up within Duolingo Schools for each participating cohort of students and they were encouraged to use the app on a regular basis. The tutor tools allowed the monitoring of how many days learners were active, how many lessons they completed, how many courses they completed, and how many points they were awarded while using Duolingo. These statistics were compared with the overall formal assessment grades on modules and further data was collected at the end of the project from a representative sample of learners (182) and tutors (ten) to establish whether the software influenced module marks.

Abstract Background Critically unwell babies in intensive care units may develop acute renal failure. Options for renal replacement therapy are limited by their small size and available technology. Objectives To determine the clinical efficacy, outcomes and safety profile of the NIDUS® (a novel infant haemodialysis device) for babies under 8 kg, compared with current renal replacement therapy. Design A clinical investigation using a non-blinded cluster stepped wedge design with paediatric intensive care units randomised to sequences. Setting Paediatric intensive care units in six UK hospitals. Participants Children under 8 kg who required renal replacement therapy for fluid overload or biochemical disturbance. Interventions Continuous renal replacement therapy was provided by the usual methods: peritoneal dialysis and continuous haemofiltration (during control periods) and by the NIDUS (during intervention periods), a novel device designed for babies with a smaller circuit and filter and volumetric control of ultrafiltration. Main outcome measures Primary outcome was precision of ultrafiltration compared with prescription; secondary outcomes included biochemical clearances, accuracy of reported ultrafiltration and mortality. Data sources Bedside study data collected by weighing bags of fluid entering and leaving the device were entered into the study database along with case descriptors. Some secondary outcome data was collected via the Paediatric Intensive Care Audit Network. Results Ninety-seven participants were recruited by study closure, 62 to control and 35 to intervention. The primary outcome was obtained from 62 control but only 21 intervention patients, largely because of technical difficulties using NIDUS. The analysis comparing the available primary outcomes showed that ultrafiltration with NIDUS was closer to that prescribed than with control: standard deviations controls 18.75, intervention 2.95 (ml/hour), adjusted ratio 0.13, 95% confidence interval (0.03 to 0.71); p = 0.018. The mean clearances for creatinine, urea and phosphate were lower on peritoneal dialysis than NIDUS, which were in turn lower than continuous veno-venous haemofiltration. The variability in the clearances was in the same order. Of the 62 control patients, 10 died (2/62 on peritoneal dialysis; 7/13 on continuous haemofiltration) before discharge from paediatric intensive care unit (16%), compared with 12 out of 35 (34%) in the NIDUS group: p = 0.04, 95% confidence interval for difference (0 to 36%). Harms No important adverse events occurred and the NIDUS has an acceptable safety profile compared with other renal replacement therapies in this critically ill population with multi-organ failure. Mortality was lowest for Peritoneal Dialysis, highest for continuous haemofiltration, with the NIDUS in-between. Only one serious adverse device event which was reported to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. Conclusions NIDUS works effectively, delivering appropriate blood clearances and accurate, controllable fluid removal (ultrafiltration), indicating that it has an important place alongside other dialysis modalities for infant renal replacement therapy. Future work Findings from this study indicate some modifications are required to NIDUS to improve usability. Further studies on use of the NIDUS device in other populations of babies for example those with chronic renal failure, and long-term outcomes are required. Trial registration This trial is registered as ISRCTN 13787486. Funding This award was funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Efficacy and Mechanism Evaluation Programme (NIHR award ref: 14/23/26) and is published in full in Efficacy and Mechanism Evaluation; Vol. 11, No. 1. See the NIHR Funding and Awards website for further award information. Plain language summary Why do this study? Some children in intensive care are so poorly that their kidneys do not work well, and they need help, called dialysis, to get rid of fluid and chemicals from their blood. For babies, we currently use peritoneal dialysis, where fluid is cycled in and out of the tummy, or adapted machines designed for bigger children (continuous veno-venous haemofiltration). A new machine, the NIDUS® (Allmed, www.allmedgroup.com), was developed specifically for babies weighing under 8 kg with much smaller tubing. NIDUS worked well when studied in Newcastle but needed testing elsewhere. What was the question? How well does NIDUS work compared to other dialysis methods? What are the problems? What did we do? The study was done in six paediatric intensive care units who used their usual dialysis methods (=control) in the first part of the study and then later swapped to using the NIDUS (=intervention). What did we find? We recruited 97 participants, 62 to control (49 peritoneal dialysis, 13 continuous veno-venous haemofiltration) and 35 intervention (NIDUS). We found NIDUS provided much better control of fluid removal. The CVVH machines were more efficient at blood cleaning than NIDUS, which was better than peritoneal dialysis. What does this mean? We learnt a lot about babies needing kidney support in paediatric intensive care units and that all methods have advantages and disadvantages. We showed that NIDUS could be very useful for some participants because it cleans blood effectively and gives accurate, controllable fluid removal. We have gathered important information to help us improve NIDUS to make it easier to use and run. Many parents responded to our questionnaire and most told us they felt it was acceptable to be approached about taking part in research despite the circumstances. This is very important for future research studies. We are very grateful to families for their generosity in becoming involved in this study. Scientific summary Background Critically unwell babies in paediatric intensive care units (PICUs) may develop acute renal failure and require management with renal replacement therapy. Although mortality and morbidity vary and are related to the underlying diagnosis, survival of babies in paediatric intensive care is worse for those with fluid overload. Babies requiring renal replacement treatment present specific therapeutic challenges because of their small size and the current technology available. Difficulties with vascular access and blood flows, fluid balance, loss of circuits, filter clotting and hypotensive episodes at initiation are all described in the literature. The need for new solutions and improved technology is well recognised. Continuous veno-venous haemofiltration (CVVH) machines in use in the UK at the time of this study are not approved for use in babies weighing 80%) were similar. The median (IQR) age in controls 10.5 (7, 38) days was similar to that in the intervention group 11 (7, 61) days; the range of age of participants was between 1 and 477 days (approximately 15 months). The median (IQR) weights 3.2 (2.9, 3.9) and 3.7 (3.1, 5.6) kg were similar between control and intervention. Availability of primary outcome The primary outcome was available on all 62 control patients but only 21 of the 35 intervention patients. This was due to a range of reasons including difficulties in obtaining the information needed to compute the UF rate (accurate timing and weighing data) and technical difficulties using the NIDUS: full details are in the report. Precision of UF Analysis comparing the 62 control patients with the 21 intervention patients with a primary outcome showed that UF with the NIDUS was closer to that prescribed than with control: standard deviations (SDs) controls 18.75, intervention 2.95 (ml/hour), adjusted ratio 0.13, 95% confidence interval (0.03 to 0.71); p = 0.018. For the NIDUS and CVVH devices, an important measure was to compare the difference between the actual fluid removal measured and that reported by the device. This had a mean closer to zero for the NIDUS than CVVH (means −0.44 vs. 11.6 ml/hour, respectively), with less variation in NIDUS than CVVH (SDs 3.2 vs. 28.4 ml/hour). Biochemical clearances The initial intention was to compare clearance rate on NIDUS with the control group. However, for these variables combining PD and CVVH in this way proved to be misleading because NIDUS clearances rates were intermediate between those of PD and CVVH. The clearance for creatinine on PD was smaller and less variable (mean 0.08, SD 0.03 ml/min/kg) than on the NIDUS (mean 0.46, SD 0.30 ml/min/kg), which was in turn smaller and less variable than for CVVH (mean 1.20, SD 0.72 ml/min/kg). The pattern was repeated for urea: PD (0.12, 0.06), NIDUS (0.48, 0.30) and CVVH (1.15, 0.67), all in ml/min/kg, and also for phosphate: PD (0.07, 0.04), NIDUS (0.44, 0.27) and CVVH (1.16, 0.71), all in ml/min/kg. All pairwise treatment comparisons of means and of SDs gave p

- Abstract
Background: Adolescents with intellectual disabilities are insufficiently physically active. Where interventions have been developed and delivered, these have had limited effectiveness, and often lack a theoretical underpinning. Aim: Through application of the COM-B model, our aim is to explore the factors influencing adolescent physical activity within schools. Methods: A qualitative methodology, using focus groups with students who have mild/moderate intellectual disabilities, their parents'/carers' and teachers'. The COM-B model provided the lens through which the data were collected and analysed. Results: We identified of a range of individual, interpersonal, and environmental factors influencing physical activity, across all six COM-B constructs, within the context of the 'school-system'. Conclusion: This is the first study to use the COM-B model to explore school-based physical activity behaviour, for adolescents with intellectual disabilities. Identification of such physical activity behavioural determinants can support the development of effective and sustainable interventions.

- Abstract
During the immediate period following psychiatric hospitalization, adolescents are at increased risk for suicide attempts and rehospitalization. Because most adolescents return to school during this time, school-related experiences are important considerations during the transition from inpatient hospitalization. This study sought to understand how adolescent perceptions of school may change following hospitalization, and how these changes may predict recovery from a suicide-related crisis. Participants included 155 adolescents (M[subscript]age = 15.2 years; 68.6% female, 65.4% White; 14.7% Hispanic/Latinx; grades 7-12) hospitalized for a suicide-related crisis assessed 3 weeks and 6 months following discharge. Results from Latent Change Score models indicated a worsening of perceptions of teacher relationships (mean change ([delta]) = 1.52), connectedness to learning ([delta] = 1.55), parent involvement ([delta] = 1.82), and academic satisfaction ([delta] = 1.34), as well as higher frequency of perceived bullying victimization ([delta] = 0.71) following hospitalization. Poorer perceptions of teacher relationships and higher frequency of perceived bullying victimization during hospitalization ([beta] = 0.31 and 0.34), as well as worsening changes of teacher relationships and increased frequency of perceived bullying victimization following hospitalization ([beta] = 0.48 and 0.41) were associated with higher levels of suicidal ideation severity 3 weeks following discharge. Poorer and worsening perceptions of teacher relationships were associated with higher levels of suicidal ideation intensity at 3 weeks ([beta] = 0.37 and 0.54). Poorer perceptions of connectedness to learning during hospitalization emerged as a significant predictor of higher levels of suicidal ideation intensity 6 months following hospitalization ([beta] = 0.20). Results reinforce the importance of fostering positive adult relationships and preventing bullying both prior to and immediately following psychiatric hospitalization.

- Abstract
Humanitarian research with Syrian refugees can be difficult to conduct in-person, due to COVID-19 containment, security, and logistics issues. We assessed whether the online implementation of a brief, culturally grounded resilience measure would yield reliable responses for use with children and adolescents in the Middle East region. We implemented an online survey screening for socio-economic status, insecurity, prosocial behaviour, and resilience (using the Child Youth Resilience Measure, CYRM) with 119 Syrian refugees (14-18 years old; 74 male, 45 female) living in Jordan. Responses were compared with in-person data, available for a separate cohort of 324 Syrian refugees, previously sampled in Jordan with the same survey instruments. The online CYRM produced reliable and valid responses, as shown by analyses of internal reliability, convergent and divergent validity, and 7-day test-retest consistency. We reflect on logistic, ethical, and methodological challenges of online surveys, and suggest ways to plan and execute online research with hard-to-reach, crisis-affected communities.

47. Assessing Psychological Well-Being in Early Adulthood: Empirical Evidence for the Structure of Daily Well-Being via Network Analysis

- Abstract
The transitional years of early adulthood, with key tasks of identity and intimacy development, engender both opportunities and risks for well-being. We propose that the conceptualization and measurement of early adults' well-being can be improved through (a) an integration of ideas from developmental and psychological science on well-being, (b) the use of short, daily momentary assessments of well-being, and (c) a developmentally-informed examination of the structure of well-being within (and not just across) time. We developed a daily assessment of well-being based on the PERMA model (Seligman, 2011) and used network analysis to gain understanding from this data. Using Ecological Momentary Assessments, we assessed the five PERMA elements in college students' daily life and their network properties. Consistent with the PERMA model, network analysis showed items clustered around theorized elements and formed a unitary network of well-being. Consistent with developmental theory, we found that having positive relationships and positive emotion were most central to early adults' daily well-being.

The venom-containing barb attached to their ‘whip-like’ tail provides stingrays a defensive mechanism for evading predators such as sharks. From human encounters, dermal stingray envenomation is characterized by intense pain often followed by tissue necrosis occurring over several days to weeks. The bioactive components in stingray venoms (SRVs) and their molecular targets and mechanisms that mediate these complex responses are not well understood. Given the utility of venom-derived proteins from other venomous species for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications, we set out to characterize the bioactivity of SRV extracts from three local species that belong to the Dasyatoidea ‘whiptail’ superfamily. Multiple cell-based assays were used to quantify and compare the in vitro effects of these SRVs on different cell lines. All three SRVs demonstrated concentration-dependent growth-inhibitory effects on three different human cell lines tested. In contrast, a mouse fibrosarcoma cell line was markedly resistant to all three SRVs, indicating the molecular target(s) for mediating the SRV effects are not expressed on these cells. The multifunctional SRV responses were characterized by an acute disruption of cell adhesion leading to apoptosis. These findings aim to guide future investigations of individual SRV proteins and their molecular targets for potential use in biomedical applications.

- Abstract
This paper reports on a study that explored five student-teachers' beliefs regarding the usability of three digital flashcard websites that can be used in a blended learning approach in English Language Teaching (ELT) classrooms. These student-teachers, who had previous teaching experience, were students on a year-long Master of Arts (MA) programme at Coventry University. Adopting a mixed-method research design, this study incorporated aspects of both surveys and case studies to explore different variables that could have an effect on the use of digital flashcards in blended learning classrooms. The websites' design features appeared to create two extreme reactions in student-teachers, suggesting it might be a significant factor in shaping their beliefs.

- Abstract
Recent developments in mobile technologies have increased the ways in which languages can be learnt, both within and beyond the classroom. Whereas the use of mobile technologies seems to challenge traditional knowledge and skills acquisition, research shows that foreign language study can be enriched through easy access to resources selected to suit individual interests or needs (KukulskaHulme, 2013). This chapter reports on an Italian language learning game, "ImparApp," developed with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT) "TaleBlazer" location-based game-authoring tool. Players interact with virtual characters, objects, and data as they move around their real physical location whilst attempting to solve a time travel mystery. This chapter presents data collected through a case study of how learning a language can take place beyond the traditional classroom in new and challenging ways. The chapter summarises the way learning activities were integrated into the app and discusses how the learning challenges were designed across the scenes, episodes and settings. It also presents data collected from the 'play-test' sessions and discusses initial findings of the pilot project.
