Interrelationships between social exclusion, mental health and wellbeing in adolescents: insights from a national Youth Survey by K. Filia, S. M. Teo, N. Brennan, T. Freeburn, D. Baker, V. Browne, A. Watson, J. Menssink, A. Prasad, E. Killackey, P. D. McGorry, S. M. Cotton, C. X. Gao

“…Young people who identified as gender diverse, Indigenous, living in a remote/rural or socio-economically disadvantaged area and with a culturally diverse background were more likely to report social exclusion. A strong association was seen between all domains of social exclusion and poor mental health (e.g., higher psychological distress and loneliness, reduced personal wellbeing, reduced sense of control over their life and a more negative outlook on the future). …”

The relationship between primitive reflex profile and development of vestibular maturity in early school years by Erzsébet Stephens-Sarlós

“…The children in the intervention group showed significant improvement in both primitive reflex profile and vestibular maturity: p <0.001; effect size: primitive reflex profile: 0.714; effect size: vestibular maturity: 0.664; while there was no significant improvement in the control group: effect size primitive reflex profile: 0.01; vestibular maturity: 0.06. We found a strong, significant correlation between the inhibition of primitive reflexes and vestibular maturity: r=0.000; rho (ρ)=0.000. …”

Detection of SSL/TLS protocol attacks based on flow spectrum theory by Shize GUO, Fan ZHANG, Zhuoxue SONG, Ziming ZHAO, Xinjie ZHAO, Xiaojuan WANG, Xiangyang LUO

“…Network attack detection plays a vital role in network security.Existing detection approaches focus on typical attack behaviors, such as Botnets and SQL injection.The widespread use of the SSL/TLS encryption protocol arises some emerging attack strategies against the SSL/TLS protocol.With the network traffic collection environment that built upon the implements of popular SSL/TLS attacks, a network traffic dataset including four SSL/TLS attacks, as well as benign flows was controlled.Considering the problems that limited observability of existing detection and limited separation of the original-flow spatiotemporal domains, a flow spectrum theory was proposed to map the threat behavior in the cyberspace from the original spatiotemporal domain to the transformed domain through the process of “potential change” and obtain the “potential variation spectrum”.The flow spectrum theory is based on a set of separable and observable feature representations to achieve efficient analysis of network flows.The key to the application of flow spectrum theory in actual cyberspace threat behavior detection is to find the potential basis matrix for a specific threat network flow under the condition of a given transformation operator.Since the SSL/TLS protocol has a strong timing relationship and state transition process in the handshake phase, and there are similarities between some SSL/TLS attacks, the detection of SSL/TLS attacks not only needs to consider timing context information, but also needs to consider the high-separation representation of TLS network flows.Based on the flow spectrum theory, the threat template idea was used to extract the potential basis matrix, and the potential basis mapping based on the long-short-term memory unit was used to map the SSL/TLS attack network flow to the flow spectrum domain space.On the self-built SSL/TLS attack network flow data set, the validity of the flow spectrum theory is verified by means of classification performance comparison, potential variation spectrum dimensionality reduction visualization, threat behavior feature weight evaluation, threat behavior spectrum division assessment, and potential variation base matrix heatmap visualization.…”

Health-related quality of life measures used with Indigenous children/youth in the Pacific Rim: a scoping review by Sue Crengle, Trudy Sullivan, Emma H Wyeth, Sarah Derrett, Vicky Nelson, Georgia McCarty

“…Thirty-three papers did not acknowledge Indigenous concepts of health, and only two measures were specifically created for use with Indigenous populations.Conclusions There is a paucity of research investigating HRQoL measures used with Indigenous children/youth and a lack of involvement of Indigenous peoples in the development and use of HRQoL measures. We strongly recommend explicit consideration of Indigenous concepts when developing, validating, assessing and using HRQoL measures with Indigenous populations.…”
