- Description: Graph learning is a popular approach for perfor ming machine learning on graph-structured data. It has revolutionized the machine learning ability to model graph data to address downstream tasks. Its application is wide due to the availability of graph data ranging from all types of networks to information systems. Most graph learning methods assume that the graph is static and its complete structure is known during training. This limits their applicability since they cannot be applied to problems where the underlying graph grows over time and/or new tasks emerge incrementally. Such applications require a lifelong learning approach that can learn the graph continuously and accommodate new information whilst retaining previously learned knowledge. Lifelong learning methods that enable continuous learning in regular domains like images and text cannot be directly applied to continuously evolving graph data, due to its irregular structure. As a result, graph lifelong learning is gaining attention from the research community. This survey paper provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in graph lifelong learning, including the categorization of existing methods, and the discussions of potential applications and open research problems. © 2005-2012 IEEE.

- Description: This article proposes a new grid impedance detection method incorporating the complex coefficient filter (CCF) with full-order capacitor current observer for a T-type three-level grid-connected inverter controlled by the inverter output current feedback. Compared with conventional CCF impedance detection algorithms, the proposed method reduces the number of current sensors and detects the grid impedance accurately. First, based on the sampled inverter output current and grid-connected voltage signals, the grid-connected current is estimated. Then, the CCF method is used to extract harmonics from the grid-connected current and voltage signals to calculate the grid impedance. Finally, the correctness of the full-order capacitor current observer is verified by simulation and the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm are verified experimentally based on a laboratory prototype. © 1986-2012 IEEE.

- Description: This article examines how resistance to stay-at-home orders was framed to congregants through sermons and in statements to media outlets. Using an approach informed by grounded theory, we analysed news articles of church behaviour and the YouTube videos of sermons from pastors that protested against COVID-19 guidelines from March 2020 to November 2020. We also draw on legal filings to identify churches that most actively resisted closures. In analysing these publicly available data, a relationship between church openings in the United States and an evangelical theology of resistance particular to non-denominational churches to public health efforts emerged. Our analysis found that ‘largely evangelical’ churches that are not considered part of a mainline evangelical denomination were more likely to seek ways to remain open in defiance of public health orders. We use the terms ‘largely evangelical’ and ‘mainline evangelical’ to distinguish these two very different denominational families. Evidence from this article suggests that evangelical Christian churches in the US that are not considered ‘mainline evangelical’ denominations (e.g. non-denominational, Pentecostal) were more likely to resist stay-at-home orders and more prepared to be legally active in resisting such policies and gather indoors (as opposed to Catholic churches and ‘mainline evangelical’ denominations). © 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

- Description: Big Data leveraged Human Resource Management Analytics (HRA) can enable HR professionals to make objective decisions in effectively managing key HR functions such as recruitment, training, development, compensation. Despite the abundance of benefits of using HRA to manage people in the organization more objectively than ever before, scholars and practitioners have been raising concerns over the potential misuse of HRA to discriminate against a particular group of people who may not be aware of disparate HR practices. As part of this bigger picture, this chapter investigates how HRA can leverage big data to minimize employee exploitation and promote employee welfare to sustain competitive advantage. This chapter provides comprehensive articulation of the key concepts related to HR analytics, Big Data and delineates how big-data-driven HR analytics can be (mis)used for people management. Our chapter draws on critical challenges HR professionals experience in adopting big data leveraged HR analytics. Finally, this chapter concludes with a set of proactive and reactive measures that are to be adhered to minimize HRA-related biases to uphold the philosophy of equity and diversity and sustain the organization's branding as an employer of choice. © Editors and Contributors Severally 2023.

- Description: Fake news spreads quickly on online social media and adversely impacts political, social, religious, and economic stability. This necessitates an efficient fake news detector which is now feasible due to advances in natural language processing and artificial intelligence. However, existing fake news detection (FND) systems are built on tokenization, embedding, and structure-based feature extraction, and fail drastically in real life because of the difference in vocabulary and its distribution across various domains. This article evaluates the effectiveness of various categories of traditional features in cross-domain FND and proposes a new method. Our proposed method shows significant improvement over recent methods in the literature for cross-domain fake news detection in terms of widely used performance metrics. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

- Description: Autistic people are more likely to report problematic alcohol and other substance use when compared to the general population. Evidence suggests that up to one in three autistic adults may have an alcohol or other substance use disorder (AUD/SUD), although the evidence base for behavioural addictions is less clear. Autistic people may use substances or engage in potentially addictive behaviours as a means of coping with social anxiety, challenging life problems, or camouflaging in social contexts. Despite the prevalence and detrimental effects of AUD, SUD and behavioural addictions in community samples, literature focusing on the intersection between autism and these conditions is scarce, hindering health policy, research, and clinical practice. We aimed to identify the top 10 priorities to build the evidence for research, policy, and clinical practice at this intersection. A priority-setting partnership was used to address this aim, comprising an international steering committee and stakeholders from various backgrounds, including people with declared lived experience of autism and/or addiction. First, an online survey was used to identify what people considered key questions about Substance use, alcohol use, or behavioural addictions in autistic people (SABA-A). These initial questions were reviewed and amended by stakeholders, and then classified and refined to form the final list of top priorities via an online consensus process. The top ten priorities were identified: three research, three policy, and four practice questions. Future research suggestions are discussed. •Little is known about the overlap between autism and addiction, yet both are common.•This priority-setting partnership identified the top research, policy and clinical practice questions regarding this overlap•Identification of these priorities will assist researchers and experts, and policy makers to address key knowledge gaps.

- Description: In this chapter, we investigate the ways in which academics’ identity factors can impact their work experiences and pedagogies in two Australian tertiary institutions. While there is a body of literature that interrogates the concept of diversity in higher education, most of the research focuses on diverse student populations rather than examining academic diversity. Current research does not explore in depth the ways in which intersections of identity factors such as gender, race, class, and able-bodiedness might impact academics’ experiences in the chiefly middle-class-institutions that comprise the Australian Higher Education landscape. The authors employed a mixed methods approach. To collect data for the project, we constructed an anonymous online Qualtrics survey and invited participation from academics working at one regional and one urban university. The survey consisted of a mixture of open and closed questions concerning the relationship between identity and teaching approaches within universities. Responses were coded, and common themes were examined by the researchers using an intersectional approach. The survey findings reveal that academics who identify as equity group members see these identities as a strength in teaching and interactions with students, however, these identities sometimes give rise to tensions with colleagues and can be seen as a barrier to career progression.

- Description: Accurate interpretation of stratigraphic profiles, the phreatic surface and the spatial variability of geomaterials are essential to produce representative behaviour of geomechanical systems through numerical simulations. When considering slope stability, variations in soil layer boundaries and the phreatic surface may result in misleading metrics such as the Factor of Safety (FoS) and the Probability of Failure (PoF). This paper presents an image-based technique for generating continuous stratigraphic profiles, including random fluctuations based on Brownian motion. Brownian bridges are used to produce random walks between known points on both soil layer boundaries and the phreatic level that overlap with the slope profile image. Quadtree decomposition is used to discretise the stratigraphy and the phreatic level through an automatic process using generated digital images for mesh generation while also integrating material properties. The Scaled Boundary Finite Element (SBFEM) is used to analyse the slope stability problem. Images based on random walks along an unknown stratigraphic material boundary and the phreatic surface are randomly generated and have many random possibilities, which are used to undertake probabilistic analysis to obtain PoF. This process is complex when using numerical methods, such as the Finite Element Method, as it requires mesh generation from different slope profiles with alternating material interfaces at each probabilistic instance. When the Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method is applied, probabilistic numerical analyses can be fully automated for randomly generated material interfaces. The feasibility of the proposed method is illustrated through several cases of a slope with multiple material layers, in addition to a slope incorporating a Brownian bridge phreatic surface formulation. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd

- Description: Recently, the modular multi-level converter (MMC) based HVDC has become a popular method for integrating offshore wind and other renewable sources into the AC grid. Several studies have reported the possible use of MMC-HVDC to enhance grid strength. However, the control concept, parameterization, and the non-linearity related to fault-ride through behavior of MMC-HVDC greatly affects the dynamics of the host AC system. With the increasing number of HVDC and the stochastic behavior of current power systems, it is essential to comprehensively assess the impact of various control concepts of HVDC and control parametrization on the AC system. An equivalent and modified model of the Great British system has been used for this analysis with the enhanced reactive power and voltage control model. The various tuning and parameterization of the phase-locked loop control system are considered. The simulations conducted using the DIgSILENT PowerFactory show the relations of the control parameterization with the rotor angle and the short-term voltage stability of the system. © 2023 IEEE.

- Description: Increasing the power harvested from magnetic field energy harvesters (MFEHs) without expanding their volumes is crucial. Conventional methods for improving power harvest, e.g., flux-shaping capacitor and transfer window alignment techniques, are not applicable under varying primary current and load conditions. To address this vital problem, in this article, we present a control strategy of MFEHs based on impedance-matching theory, which considers the nonlinear characteristic of magnetic energy sources and can track the maximum power under varying current and load conditions based on an active rectifier. A calculation formula is derived to determine the optimal initial operating point of the active rectifier circuit, which aims to adjust the equivalent impedance to achieve maximum power tracking. An experimental prototype is constructed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. It is found that the proposed method enhances the harvested power under different current and load conditions, particularly in deep saturation conditions. The experimental results show that the proposed MFEH can harvest an average power of 2.51 W on an 800

- Description: Introduction: Individuals with multiple physical and, or, mental health issues and, or, drug-related problems are known as complex patients. These patients are often recipients of poor-quality care. Compassionate nursing care is valuable to promote better care experiences among this patient population. Implementation strategies should be designed to enhance compassionate nursing care delivery. The study aimed to gain understanding of barriers to compassionate care delivery to propose implementation to promote compassionate nursing care of complex patients. Design: An exploratory sequential mixed methods study was conducted. Methods: Phase 1 was the qualitative component during which 23 individuals with multimorbidities were interviewed for exploring their perceptions of barriers to compassionate nursing care. The barriers were integrated with implementation science frameworks using the building technique during phase 2 to develop a Q-sort survey of implementation strategies for phase 3. Nurses, nurse managers, health care administrators, policymakers, and compassionate care experts responded to the survey by ranking the 21 implementation strategies, out of which five met the Q-factor analysis criteria. Results: Participant-perceived barriers to nurse compassion could be categorized under knowledge, intentions, skills, social influences, behavioral regulation, reinforcement, emotion, and environmental context and resources. The five highest-ranked strategies included facilitation, consultation with stress experts, involvement of patients and families, modeling compassion through shadowing, and utilizing implementation teams. Conclusions: Enablement and modeling were the integration functions represented by the highest-ranked implementation strategies. Enabling nurses to provide compassionate care through emotional support and mental health counseling, and, modeling compassion and compassionate care through shadowing were recommended and rated as highly relevant by the majority of stakeholders. Clinical Relevance: Enhancing nurses compassionate behaviors toward complex patients requires facilitating them in enacting compassion in practice through modeling and support from organizations and nurse managers. © 2023 Sigma Theta Tau International.

- Description: Excessive heating and power loss due to high-frequency switching are always alarming issues in the case of multilevel inverter (MLI) based applications such as solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and industrial drives. Both the heating and power loss of power semiconductor switches significantly rely on the switching pulse width modulation (PWM) scheme employed. This paper proposes an improved switching technique for a solar PV-fed grid-tied 5-level cascaded H-bridge (CHB) inverter, which also reduces the power semiconductor losses of the inverter in relation to several existing switching schemes. The proposed switching scheme employs a modified discontinuous standard mode signal to develop the modulating signal of the proposed method. Level-shifted triangular carrier signals are considered with the proposed switching signal to produce the gate pulses for the 5-level CHB inverter. The performance of the proposed switching scheme is validated through MATLAB/Simulink and PLECS computer simulation environments. © 2023 IEEE.

- Description: To model interactions among system expansion, controlled partitioning (CP), and observability, an integrated multi-period framework is developed in this paper for simultaneous planning of distribution systems and measurements with CP constraints (DSMP-CP) in unbalanced multi-phase networks. The proposed framework, employing the network AC model, is formulated as a mixed-integer quadratically-constrained programing problem. This problem minimizes investment costs (including the costs of feeder reinforcement, distributed generation (DG) placement, and allocation of micro-phasor measurement units and their measuring channels) and operation costs (including the costs of DG operation, energy purchased from the upstream grid (UG), re-dispatching of DG and UG injections, and energy curtailment). A phase-based observability function is also introduced to ensure the observability of all phases of buses. Furthermore, the concept of zero-injection (ZI) property is proposed for ZI groups considering physical connections and mutual impedances among phases to enhance observability efficiency and avoid suboptimal solutions. To enhance problem tractability and eliminate linearization errors, a duality-based solution approach is proposed employing an exactness loop with recursive re-linearization. The performance of the proposed framework is evaluated by testing it on the unbalanced IEEE 111-node and 256-node distribution test systems. © 2010-2012 IEEE.

Contemporaneously, they often highlight their commitment to social justice through international experiences, though it is not always clear how their educational activities fulfil this commitment. There has been little focus to date on the intersection of student mobility and the desire to include socially just pedagogy into university curricula. Drawing on narratives from semi-structured interviews with academics and professional staff, we explore the utilisation of study abroad within criminology. We argue that student mobility experiences have the potential to be socially just pedagogy through increasing access to new forms of education for a broad range of students. In turn, this positions mobility as a pedagogy for social justice by providing experiential learning opportunities that encourage critical engagement of students and increase their capabilities to act on social justice when in their home country. © 2020, © 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

Unlike the cyberstalking of strangers, less is known about the motives and perpetration of intimate partner cyberstalking. In this study, we explore how vulnerable narcissism, secondary psychopathy, and borderline traits (i.e., the "Vulnerable Dark Triad") and rejection sensitivity relate to the perpetration of intimate partner cyberstalking. Participants (N = 278; 58 percent women) were recruited through social media and completed an anonymous online questionnaire. Positive correlations were observed between vulnerable narcissism, secondary psychopathy, borderline traits, rejection sensitivity, and intimate partner cyberstalking. Borderline traits moderated the relationship between participant sex (men and women) and intimate partner cyberstalking, and women with high borderline traits were most likely to cyberstalk intimate partners. Lastly, there was a significant indirect effect of vulnerable narcissism on intimate partner cyberstalking through rejection sensitivity. These findings highlight the importance of relational insecurity and rejection sensitivity in intimate partner cyberstalking and provide useful directions for future research exploring cyberstalking behaviors in intimate relationships.

- Description: The aim of this scoping review was to critically review and synthesize the evidence concerning the relationship between traumatic peripheral lesions and cognitive impairments. Five electronic databases (Medline, Cinahl, Psycinfo, Embase, and Cochrane Library) were searched in their entirety using the two key words “cognition” and “trauma”. An additional manual search was conducted. All inclusion criteria comprised English language, an assessment of cognition, and the study participants experienced acute peripheral lesion or physical trauma and were aged between 18 and 65 years. The articles were screened for eligibility by two independent reviewers. Disagreements were resolved by discussion or consensus with a third author. A total of 11737 records were identified, of which 10 met the inclusion criteria. Whiplash injury, brachial plexus injury, soft tissue injury around the cervical spine, and fracture were found to be associated with cognitive impairments. The earliest cognitive assessment time point was one-month post injury, while the latest counterpart was 444 months. Cognition was assessed using 20 unique instruments, targeting nine distinct cognitive domains. An overall positive association was found between traumatic peripheral lesions and cognitive impairments. Therefore, further longitudinal research is needed to monitor the changes in cognitive functions post physical trauma.
