Abstract Objectives: Parentification, a role reversal where children assume age-inappropriate duties in the family, is a significant childhood adversity often linked to disrupted developmental trajectories and poor mental health outcomes. Yet the complexity of parentification, influenced by various contextual factors, obscures a comprehensive understanding of its psychological consequences and its mental health aspects. The paper aims to map up-to-date research, synthesize key findings, and identify critical knowledge gaps. Methods: To that end, a systematic search was performed in Scopus, PsycINFO, PubMed, and EBSCO databases, and data was extracted and reviewed by two reviewers. The search yielded 29… More >

Abstract Robust numerical tools are essential for enabling the use of hybrid rocket engines (HREs) in future space applications. In this context, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) transient simulations can be employed to analyse and predict relevant fluid dynamics phenomena within the thrust chamber of small-scale HREs. This work applies such techniques to investigate two unexpected behaviours observed in a 10 N-class hydrogen peroxide-based hybrid thruster: an uneven regression rate during High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) fuel tests, and non-negligible axial consumption in the ABS test case. The present study seeks to identify their… More >

Abstract This review provides a comprehensive overview of natural rubber (NR) composites, focusing on their properties, compounding aspects, and renewable practices involving natural fibre reinforcement. The properties of NR are influenced by the compounding process, which incorporates ingredients such as elastomers, vulcanizing agents, accelerators, activators, and fillers like carbon black and silica. While effective in enhancing properties, these fillers lack biodegradability, prompting the exploration of sustainable alternatives. The potential of natural fibres as renewable reinforcements in NR composites is thoroughly covered in this review, highlighting both their advantages, such as improved sustainability, and the challenges they More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract A combined experimental and numerical research study is conducted to investigate the complex relationship between the structure and the aerodynamic performances of an Archimedes spiral wind turbine (ASWT). Two ASWTs are considered, a prototypical version and an improved version. It is shown that the latter achieves the best aerodynamic performance when the spread angles at the three sets of blades are α = 30°, α = 55°, α = 60°, respectively and the blade thickness is 4 mm. For a velocity V = 10 m/s, a tip speed ratio (TSR) = 1.58 and 2, the maximum C values More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract As the COVID-19 pandemic swept the globe, social media platforms became an essential source of information and communication for many. International students, particularly, turned to Twitter to express their struggles and hardships during this difficult time. To better understand the sentiments and experiences of these international students, we developed the Situational Aspect-Based Annotation and Classification (SABAC) text mining framework. This framework uses a three-layer approach, combining baseline Deep Learning (DL) models with Machine Learning (ML) models as meta-classifiers to accurately predict the sentiments and aspects expressed in tweets from our collected Student-COVID-19 dataset. Using the… More >

Abstract Torquigener albomaculosus, also known as the white-spotted pufferfish, is known for creating circular nests in the underwater sand as part of the mating ritual. The nests are built by the males to attract females through the nest’s impressive design and related ability to gather fine sand particles. As the fluid-dynamic processes associated with these unique nests are still almost completely unknown, in the present study, an analysis has been conducted to investigate how the geometric parameters related to the nest design influence the fluid velocity in its center. For this reason, a geometric model of More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract People utilize microblogs and other social media platforms to express their thoughts and feelings regarding current events, public products and the latest affairs. People share their thoughts and feelings about various topics, including products, news, blogs, etc. In user reviews and tweets, sentiment analysis is used to discover opinions and feelings. Sentiment polarity is a term used to describe how sentiment is represented. Positive, neutral and negative are all examples of it. This area is still in its infancy and needs several critical upgrades. Slang and hidden emotions can detract from the accuracy of traditional… More >

Abstract Topological indices (TIs) have been practiced for distinct wide-ranging physicochemical applications, especially used to characterize and model the chemical structures of various molecular compounds such as dendrimers, nanotubes and neural networks with respect to their certain properties such as solubility, chemical stability and low cytotoxicity. Dendrimers are prolonged artificially synthesized or amalgamated natural macromolecules with a sequential layer of branches enclosing a central core. A present-day trend in mathematical and computational chemistry is the characterization of molecular structure by applying topological approaches, including numerical graph invariants. Among topological descriptors, Zagreb connection indices (ZCIs) have much More >
