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 The last two decades have seen a significant decrease in mortality for children

This review assessed the effectiveness of interventions for improving outcomes among street‐connected children and young people, and for reducing some important health‐related risks; and to improve access to and inte...

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...

This Campbell systematic review examines the impact of reducing the maximum duration of unemployment benefits on job‐finding rates. Seven studies were included in the review, all of which are from European countries. I...

Abstract Background Challenging classroom behaviors can interfere with student social and academic functioning and may be harmful to everyone in schools. Self‐management interventions within schools can address these c...

Abstract Background Anxiety and stress responses are often considered normative experiences, and children and adolescents may benefit from anxiety prevention programmes. One such programme is FRIENDS which is based on a ...

Abstract Background High rates of youth re‐offending indicate that young custody‐leavers face challenges when reintegrating into their communities. Aftercare and resettlement programs can occur pre‐, during, and po...

This Campbell systematic review assesses the effectiveness of school‐based decision‐making. The review summarises findings from 17 impact studies and nine studies of barriers and enablers. School‐based decision‐m...

Abstract Background Class size reductions in general education are some of the most researched educational interventions in social science, yet researchers have not reached any final conclusions regarding their effects. ...

Silver (SN) nanoparticles were re‐dispersed in aqueous solution of Pluronic F127 and complexed with the antioxidant, alpha‐ Lipoic acid (LA). The nanoparticle ‐ LA complex (SN‐LA) was characterize...

Abstract Background Video‐based interventions (VBIs) are an approach that can be used to promote social behavioural skills for autistic children and young people. Despite an abundance of literature in this area, previo...

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 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...

This paper presents a study of adsorption and vibrational features of folic acid, using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). A gold-capped silicon nanopillar (Au NP) with a height of 600 nm and a width of 120 nm was...

In this chapter, we will focus on a specific X‐raybased technique among those employed in surface science and which is especially suitable for the study of self‐assembled nanocrystals: Grazing Incidence Small Angle X...

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 ...

In this article, we report the measurement of underwater aerophobicity, through the captive-bubble method, for different polymeric coatings employed to protect microscale and nanoscale flexible electronic devices for sea...

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...

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...
