Migrants' access and effective utilisation of settlement services depend on their level of settlement service literacy (SSL). However, SSL is multi-dimensional in nature and has many facets that are influenced by demographic and migration-related factors. Identifying factors that drive various components of SSL, and thus allowing for more focused development of specific dimensions, is critical. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between components of SSL and migration-related and migrants' demographic factors. Using a snowball sampling approach, trained multilingual research assistants collected data on 653 participants. Data were collected using face-to-face or online (phone and via video platforms such as Zoom and Skype) surveys. Our findings suggest that demographic and migration-related factors explained 32% of the variance in overall SSL; and 17%, 23%, 44%, 8%, 10% of the variance in knowledge, empowerment, competence, community influence, and political components of SSL respectively. SSL was positively associated with pre-migration and post-migration educational attainment, being employed in Australia, being a refugee, coming from the sub-Saharan region but negatively associated with age and coming from the East Asia and Pacific region. Across SSL dimensions, post-migration education was the only factor positively associated with the overall SSL and all SSL dimensions (except the political dimension). Employment status in Australia was also positively associated with competency and empowerment, but not other dimensions. Affiliating with a religion other than Christianity or Islam was negatively associated with knowledge and empowerment whilst being a refugee was positively associated with knowledge. Age was negatively associated with the empowerment and competency dimensions. The study provides evidence of the importance of some pre- and post-migration factors that can assist in developing targeted initiatives to enhance migrants' SSL. Identifying factors that drive various components of SSL will allow for more focused development of specific dimensions and therefore is critical.

Objective: This study explores a semi-supervised learning (SSL), pseudo-labeled strategy using diverse datasets such as head and neck cancer (HNCa) to enhance lung cancer (LCa) survival outcome predictions, analyzing handcrafted and deep radiomic features (HRF/DRF) from PET/CT scans with hybrid machine learning systems (HMLSs).
Methods: We collected 199 LCa patients with both PET and CT images, obtained from TCIA and our local database, alongside 408 HNCa PET/CT images from TCIA. We extracted 215 HRFs and 1024 DRFs by PySERA and a 3D autoencoder, respectively, within the ViSERA 1.

Metal halides are widely applied in solid-state lighting (SSL), optoelectronic devices, information encryption, and near-infrared (NIR) detection due to their superior photoelectric properties and tunable emission. However, single-component phosphors that can be efficiently excited by light-emitting diode (LED) chips and cover both the visible (VIS) and NIR emission regions are still very rare. To address this issue, (TPA)ZnBr:Sn/Mn (TPA = [(CHCHCH)N]) phosphors were synthesized by using the solvent evaporation method.

Aims: WNT signalling pathway dysregulation is often a critical early component in colorectal neoplasia, particularly the chromosomal instability pathway. Using two WNT reporters, and , we sought to assess whether these polyps demonstrate predictable expression patterns and if these patterns show diagnostic value.
Methods: We evaluated 23 adenomas (TA), 23 sessile serrated lesions (SSLs), 14 SSL with dysplasia and 38 traditional serrated adenomas (TSA).

Article Synopsis
- The increasing issue of stimulant use disorder (StimUD) in the US, particularly related to psychostimulants, has prompted California to implement a large-scale treatment initiative called the Recovery Incentives Program, utilizing contingency management (CM).
- The program employs the Science to Service Lab (SSL) approach, which includes training, feedback, and facilitation, enhanced with additional readiness assessments and ongoing monitoring of implementation fidelity.
- Initial findings suggest that the program is well-received by both treatment staff and participants, with plans for further evaluations to assess member progress and the ongoing effectiveness of the training and implementation strategies.
