International students comprise an increasingly larger proportion of higher education globally. Empirical evidence about the health and well-being these is, however, limited. We sought to examine international students, primarily from Asian countries, attending University Tasmania, Australia, using domestic as a comparison group. Ethics approval was given invite (via email) all currently enrolled participate in study by completing pilot-tested, online survey. The survey completed 382...

Based on the research results of conventional rigid support nonlinear energy harvesters, in this paper we conceive a kind structure with an elastic external magnet intent to keep system state bistable oscillation, even under low-intensity excitation conditions. It has been proved that systems have better power output performance than when excited at vibrations. In addition, harvesters do not need real-time adjustment interval towards variable-intensity random source, consequently achieving...

To overcome the defect of conventional nonlinear piezoelectric cantilever vibration energy harvesters, in this paper we conceive an elastic-support model to study performance converters under two types variable-intensity excitation conditions: filtered Gaussian noises and pink noises. When intensity is insufficient, thanks system's variable potential function, frequent bistable transition oscillations between wells occur systems, while only weak either well could be observed rigid-support...

Student performance predictive analysis has played a vital role in education recent years. It allows for the understanding students’ learning behaviours, identification of at-risk students, and development insights into teaching improvement. Recently, many researchers have used data collected from Learning Management Systems to predict student performance. This study investigates potential clickstream this purpose. A total 5341 sample students their click behaviour OULAD (Open University...

Background Colitis caused by checkpoint inhibitors (CPI) is frequent and treated with empiric steroids, but CPI colitis mechanisms in steroid-experienced or refractory disease are unclear. Methods Using colon biopsies blood from predominantly patients, we performed multiplexed single-cell transcriptomics proteomics to nominate contributing populations. Results showed enrichment of CD4 + resident memory (RM) T cells addition CD8 RM cytotoxic cells. Matching cell receptor (TCR) clonotypes...

Green finance (GFN) plays a critical role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, serving as key financial mechanism to promote green growth economic sustainability (ESS). This paper explores how GFN, along with fintech (FNT), environmental benefits (ENB), urbanization (URB), natural resource management (NRM), influences ESS E7 countries from 2000 2022. While fintech’s rapid technological advancements offer significant potential, they also introduce increased complexity...

Analyzing large volumes of real-world driving data is essential for providing meaningful and reliable insights into trips, scenarios, human behaviors. To this end, we developed a multi-level processing approach that adds new information, segments data, extracts desired parameters. Leveraging confidential but extensive dataset (over 1 million km), leads to three levels in-depth analysis: trip, scenario, driving. The trip-level analysis explains representative properties observed in while the...
