High-efficiency acid-base catalysts: ZrO, TiO, amine, and Br functionalized porous polymers for CO and epoxide to cyclic carbonate conversion.

The development of new materials capable of converting carbon dioxide (CO) into value-added products has emerged as a crucial strategy in addressing global climate change and promoting sustainable industrial practices. As CO emissions continue to rise, innovative catalytic systems that facilitate its utilization as a C1 carbon source are gaining significant attention. Such advancements not only contribute to carbon capture and utilization (CCU) efforts but also support the transition toward greener chemical processes by reducing dependence on fossil-derived feedstocks.

Preparation for implementation of evidence-based practices in urban schools: A shared process with implementing partners.

Background: Shifting organizational priorities can negatively affect the sustainment of innovations in community settings. Shifting priorities can present barriers to conducting clinical research in schools if a misalignment occurs between school district priorities and the aims of the study. Often this misalignment occurs due to a shift during the period between when the study is submitted for funding and when research activities begin.

Reducing disparities in behavioral health treatment in pediatric primary care: a randomized controlled trial comparing Partnering to Achieve School Success (PASS) to usual ADHD care for children ages 5 to 11 - study protocol.

Background: Integrating behavioral health services into pediatric primary care can improve access to care, especially for children marginalized by poverty and racial/ethnic minority status. In primary care, a common presenting concern is attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Services in primary care for marginalized children with ADHD typically include medication alone; therapy to improve skills and build relationships is less available.

Nonverbal Cognitive Skills in Children With Aicardi Goutières Syndrome.

Background And Objectives: Aicardi Goutières syndrome (AGS) is type I interferonopathy characterized by severe neurologic impairment. Although many children with AGS demonstrate motor and expressive language deficits, the magnitude of receptive language impairment is uncharacterized. We sought to characterize cognitive function in AGS-affected children using assessment tools with reduced dependence on motor abilities and compare cognitive testing outcomes with overall severity and parental assessment of adaptive behavior.

Implementation fidelity, student outcomes, and cost-effectiveness of train-the-trainer strategies for Masters-level therapists in urban schools: results from a cluster randomized trial.

Background: Little is known about the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of train-the-trainer implementation strategies in supporting mental health evidence-based practices in schools, and about the optimal level of support needed for TT strategies.

Methods: The current study is part of a larger type 2 hybrid cluster randomized controlled trial. It compares two train-the-trainer strategies, Train-the-Trainer (TT) and Train-the-Trainer plus ongoing consultation for trainers (TT +) on the delivery of a group cognitive behavioral treatment protocol for anxiety disorders.

The effects of Fe, Mg, and Pt-doping on the improvement of Ni stabilized on AlO-CeO catalysts for methane dry reforming.

Herein, the promotional effects of Mg, Fe, and Pt on Ni-based catalysts supported on AlO-CeO (Ni/AlO-CeO) were investigated in the dry reforming of methane (DRM) reaction. The interaction of a suitable amount of MgO and FeO with CeO stabilized in the catalysts was demonstrated by the temperature-programmed desorption of CO (CO-TPD). CeO has a high basicity for adsorbing CO, generating a monoclinic CeOCO species in the DRM reaction.

Motor training for young children with cerebral palsy: A single-blind randomized controlled trial.

Aim: To compare the effect of iMOVE (Intensive Mobility training with Variability and Error) therapy with dose-matched conventional therapy on gross motor development and secondary outcomes in young children with cerebral palsy.

Method: This single-blind, randomized controlled trial included repeated assessments of gross motor function (using the Gross Motor Function Measure) and secondary outcomes during a 12- to 24-week intervention phase and at three follow-up points after treatment. Treatment was delivered three times per week in both groups.

Exploration of Gross Motor Function in Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome.

Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a spectrum of motor abilities. While the Aicardi-Goutières syndrome severity score favors severely impacted individuals, there is an unmet need to define tools measuring function across the Aicardi-Goutières syndrome spectrum as potential outcome assessments for future clinical trials. Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88) and AGS Severity Scale were administered in individuals affected by Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (n = 71).

A comparison of two group cognitive behavioral therapy protocols for anxiety in urban schools: appropriateness, child outcomes, and cost-effectiveness.

Background: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for pediatric anxiety is efficacious for reducing anxiety symptoms and improving functioning, but many children are unable to access CBT for anxiety in community settings. Schools are an important setting in which children access mental health care, including therapy for anxiety. In this setting, therapy is usually delivered by Masters-level therapists.

Development of an Online Training Platform and Implementation Strategy for School-Based Mental Health Professionals in Rural Elementary Schools: A Mixed-Methods Study.

Children in rural settings are less likely to receive mental health services than their urban and suburban counterparts and even less likely to receive evidence-based care. Rural schools could address the need for mental health interventions by using evidence-based practices within a tiered system of supports such as positive behavioral interventions and supports. However, very few school professionals, with or without mental health training, have received training on evidence-based practices.

Analysis and process evaluation of metal dopant (Zr, Cr)-promoted Ga-modified ZSM-5 for the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane in the presence and absence of CO.

A systematic study of the comparative performances of 4% Ga-, 4% Zr-, and 1% Cr-impregnated H-ZSM-5 catalysts for oxidative dehydrogenation of propane in the presence and absence of CO is presented. It was found that methane, ethene, propene, butene, pentene, and BTX are the major products from all of these catalysts at various reaction temperatures (400-550 °C), WHSV, 4 kg s mol and feed gas, CH/N = 2.5/97.

Locomotor learning in infants at high risk for cerebral palsy: A study protocol.

Background: Physical disability in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) creates lifelong mobility challenges and healthcare costs. Despite this, very little is known about how infants at high risk for CP learn to move and acquire early locomotor skills, which set the foundation for lifelong mobility. The objective of this project is to characterize the evolution of locomotor learning over the first 18 months of life in infants at high risk for CP.

The interplay between leaders' personality traits and mentoring quality and their impact on mentees' job satisfaction and job performance.

This study focuses on examining the role of leaders' Five-Factor Model (FFM) personality traits in their mentoring quality and mentees' job satisfaction. It has also examined how leaders' mentoring quality impacts mentees' job satisfaction, leading to their job performance at the workplace. The study used an explanatory research methodology to determine the cause-and-effect relationship between mentors' FFM personality characteristics, mentoring quality, and mentees' job satisfaction and job performance.

Natural history and neurodevelopmental outcomes in perinatal stress induced hyperinsulinism.

Objective: To describe perinatal stress induced hyperinsulinism (PSIHI), determine the prevalence of neurodevelopmental differences, and identify risk factors for poor developmental prognosis.

Methods: Subjects with a history of hyperinsulinism (HI) and perinatal stress and in whom resolution of the HI was demonstrated were included. Medical record review, caregiver interview, and three validated developmental assessments were completed.

Clinical outcomes of fasting in patients with chronic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: A prospective analysis.

Fasting is a part of many world religions and in Islam fasting is obligatory for every adult Muslim during the month of Ramadan. Islam has exempted sick people from fasting; however, many people still partake in this activity. We investigated how Islamic fasting affects patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Visceral adiposity is related to insulin sensitivity and inflammation in adolescents with obesity and mild sleep disordered breathing.

Objectives: To evaluate the relationships between adipose tissue distribution, insulin secretion and sensitivity, sleep-disordered breathing, and inflammation in obese adolescents.

Methods: Cross-sectional study of 56 obese adolescents who underwent anthropometric measures, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, overnight polysomnography, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test. Correlation and regression analyses were used to assess relationships between adiposity, insulin secretion and sensitivity, measures of sleep-disordered breathing (oxyhemoglobin nadir, SpO; apnea hypopnea index, AHI; arousal index, AI; maximum end-tidal CO; non-REM sleep duration), and inflammation (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, hsCRP).

Development and evaluation of a remote training strategy for the implementation of mental health evidence-based practices in rural schools: pilot study protocol.

Background: An increasing number of schools in rural settings are implementing multi-tier positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) to address school-climate problems. PBIS can be used to provide the framework for the implementation of evidence-based practices (EBPs) to address children's mental health concerns. Given the large service disparities for children in rural areas, offering EBPs through PBIS can improve access and lead to better long-term outcomes.

Employees' Green Enterprise Motivation and Green Creative Process Engagement and Their Impact on Green Creative Performance.

Based on the recent surge in environmental degradation issues mainly caused by the manufacturing industry and the inadequacy of the measures taken to respond to them, this research focuses on investigating whether employees' motivation to protect the natural environment leads to their green creative performance (GCP) at work. It also examines the role of green creative process engagement (GCPE) as a mediator between green motivation (GM) and GCP. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is used to examine the hypotheses which indicated that employees' GCP appears to be significantly influenced by their GM.

The impacts of organizational green culture and corporate social responsibility on employees' responsible behaviour towards the society.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives and organizational green culture (OGC) play a significant role in developing organizations and society. However, the extent to which these activities encourage organizational employees to act socially responsible outside their workplace is yet to be explored. This study uses the Operant conditioning theory to examine the effect of OGC and CSR activities on employees' responsible behaviour towards the society (ERBS) outside their organizations.

Impact of Sleep Deprivation on Job Performance of Working Mothers: Mediating Effect of Workplace Deviance.

The current study takes its philosophical roots from organizational behavior and psychology domains to investigate the impact of sleep deprivation on the job performance of mothers working in primary, secondary, and higher education institutions (HEIs) of Pakistan. It also examines the mediating role of workplace deviance in the relationship between sleep deprivation and the job performance of working mothers. The authors followed the non-probability convenience sampling technique to study the relationship between sleep deprivation, workplace deviance, and job performance.

The Effects of Types of Service Providers on Experience Economy, Brand Attitude, and Brand Loyalty in the Restaurant Industry.

This study was designed to understand the relationships among the experience economy, brand attitude, and brand loyalty based on the type of service providers, such as robot servers and human servers in the restaurant industry. The data were collected from 296 people who experienced robot servers and from 294 people who experienced human servers and was analyzed through structural equation modeling (SEM), which indicated that the four sub-dimensions of the experience economy: education, entertainment, esthetics, and escapism, positively affect brand attitude, which in turn has a significant positive impact on brand loyalty. In addition, statistical differences were found with the average value of the six constructs based on the type of service providers, such as robot servers and human servers.

Study protocol: cluster randomized trial of consultation strategies for the sustainment of mental health interventions in under-resourced urban schools: rationale, design, and methods.

Background: The school is a key setting for the provision of mental health services to children, particularly those underserved through traditional service delivery systems. School-wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a tiered approach to service delivery based on the public health model that schools use to implement universal (Tier 1) supports to improve school climate and safety. As our prior research has demonstrated, PBIS is a useful vehicle for implementing mental and behavioral health evidence-based practices (EBPs) at Tier 2 for children with, or at risk for, mental health disorders.
