This Campbell systematic review assesses the effects of psychosocial interventions for school refusal. The review summarizes the findings from eight studies. Medium quality evidence shows that cognitive‐behavioural the...

The aim of this systematic review was to assess the effects of programs comprising organized visits to prisons by juvenile delinquents (officially adjudicated or convicted by a juvenile court) or predelinquents (children...

Platinum nanoflowers (Pt NFs) composed of an ordered assembly of nanoparticles were synthesized by an ethanol reduction of [PtCl6]2– under a reflux condition (85 °C) at pH 2.5 in the presence of PVP (molecular weight ...

Microring resonators (MRRs) are the important devices for the development of silicon-based optoelectronic integrated chips. Their composition of optical modules, such as optical modulators, switches, and optical logic ga...

Abstract Background Depression is a public health problem and common amongst adolescents. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is widely used to treat adolescent depression but existing research does not provide clear con...

Abstract Background Globally, almost 1.6 billion individuals lack adequate housing. Many accommodation‐based approaches have evolved across the globe to incorporate additional support and services beyond delivery of ho...

In the present work, the synergistic effect of multiwalled carbon nanotubes and glycidyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes on the compression after impact behaviour of multifunctional carbon fibre–reinforced epoxy ...

Silver colloid based nanostructures are a very common means of achieving strong SERS signals. This is due to the hot spots that are formed in between the nanoparti‐ cles, as well as their ease of synthesis. They are fr...

Raw TiO2 nanoparticles were prepared using the hydroly‐ sis of TiCl4. The nanoparticles were subjected to a surface treatment in diluted sulphuric acid and, subsequently, calcined at different temperatures. Then, a typ...

Along with the increasing requirement for efficient organic conversions using green chemistry, there is a need to develop highly efficient and eco-friendly catalytic reaction systems. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-based nan...

Abstract Background Globally, children are legally obliged to attend school at a certain age (ranging from 4 to 7 years old). Developmental differences are rarely considered at school entry nor are they always reflected ...

What makes three dimensional semiconductor quantum nanostructures so attractive is the possibility to tune their electronic properties by careful design of their size and composition. These parameters set the confinement...

The catalytic conversion of palm oil was carried out over four zeolite catalysts—Y, ZSM-5, Y-ZSM-5 hybrid, and Y/ZSM-5 composite—to produce jet biofuel with high amount of alkanes and low amount of aromatic hydrocarb...

Executive summary/Abstract Background In the field of terrorism research, the violent radicalisation of individuals towards perpetrating acts of terror has been the subject of academic enquiry for some time. One core foc...

In this article, we report modeling, simulation, and analysis of shifting 2D photonic crystal cavity side holes in GaN-AlN-sapphire layered structure. The design was simulated with Lumerical finite-difference time-domain...

Graphite was exfoliated to graphene by tip sonic using sodium cholate as a surfactant in the presence of Millipore water as a medium. The use of water as a solvent for exfoliation purposes is very important due to its en...

ABSTRACT Background: Climate change and widespread environmental degradation have increased the risk of natural hazards in recent decades. Hydrological, meteorological, and climatological disasters have become more frequ...

Abstract Background Frailty, social isolation, loneliness, and poverty may render older adults vulnerable to social or health stressors. It is imperative to identify effective interventions to address them especially in ...

Cognitive‐behavioural therapy can prevent criminal offenders from continuing their criminal careers. However, some treatment programmes work better than others. This Campbell review shows that a small number of factors...

This Campbell systematic review synthesizes the existing published and non‐published empirical evidence on the effects of focused police crime prevention interventions at high‐activity crime places and will provide a...

Abstract Background Adequate housing is a basic human right. The many millions of people experiencing homelessness (PEH) have a lower life expectancy and more physical and mental health problems. Practical and effective ...

A simple technique of seed-mediated growth has been successfully performed to grow anisotropy gold nanoparticles on solid substrates. The growth of the gold nanoparticles has been carried out in the presence of a binary ...

The synthesis of silver nanoparticles of varying size has been achieved using different molar concentrations of NaOH while the effect of changing the temperature has been studied. AgNO3, gelatine, glucose and NaOH are us...
