Pilot and Numeric Relaying01:21

Pilot and Numeric Relaying

489
Pilot relaying is a type of differential protection used in power systems. It compares electrical quantities at the terminals of equipment via a communication channel instead of direct relay interconnection. This method is essential for transmission lines where the terminals are far apart, typically up to 80 km for lines with 69 to 115 kV ratings. Four types of communication channels are used for pilot relaying:

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity01:23

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

507
Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.
Parental Influence on Identity Development
Parents serve as primary guides and managers in an adolescent's life, offering support instrumental in decision-making and personal growth....

Cognitive Development During Adolescence

579
During adolescence, individuals experience significant cognitive development that enhances their understanding of others' emotions and thoughts, known as cognitive empathy. This period is marked by an increased ability to adapt to others' perspectives and a more nuanced understanding of others' mental states, a skill that is foundational for social problem-solving and conflict avoidance. The development of cognitive empathy relies heavily on the theory of mind — the...

Deleterious Substances in Aggregate

542
Deleterious substances in aggregates can be detrimental to the quality and durability of concrete. These substances include organic impurities like loam, which interfere with cement hydration and are usually present in the sand. These prevent a good bond between aggregate and cement paste. Organic impurities can be detected using the colorimetric test, where the darkness of a solution after agitation indicates the level of organic content.
Another type of impurity is clay and fine material that...

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep01:24

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

423
Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.
Understanding the concepts of physical dependence,...

Self-Help Support Groups01:28

Self-Help Support Groups

336
Self-help support groups are voluntary, community-based organizations that provide a platform for individuals with shared concerns to exchange support, insights, and practical strategies for coping with life challenges. Typically led by group members or paraprofessionals, these groups form a cornerstone of mental health care, especially in reaching populations that are underserved by traditional healthcare systems.
Accessibility and Cost-Effectiveness
One of the primary strengths of self-help...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Adolescent Health
  • Intervention Science

Background:

  • Training peer leaders (PLs) is an advanced strategy in prevention, yet lacks established support frameworks.
  • Text messaging offers a direct intervention channel with potential for supporting PLs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and pilot a conceptual framework for engaging, retaining, and educating adolescent PLs.
  • To test the feasibility and reception of text message-delivered support for middle school PLs in a substance use prevention program.

Main Methods:

  • A conceptual framework was developed to guide text message content, focusing on mission, identity, mentor connection, knowledge, and activity preparation.
  • Fifty eighth-grade PLs were recruited for a 4-month pilot program involving 34 text messages.
  • PL engagement (replies, participation) and outcomes (surveys) were tracked, alongside parent and staff feedback.

Main Results:

  • 85% of PLs responded to at least one text, with highest engagement for messages on activity preparation.
  • 95% of PLs read messages, and 83% felt texts helped them achieve their mission.
  • Texting was feasible, engaging, and well-received; response rates varied (22-56%), and texting was linked to better attendance in one school.

Conclusions:

  • A framework for supporting adolescent PLs via text messaging in network interventions is provided.
  • Automated text messaging is a feasible, engaging, and well-received method for supporting middle school PLs.
  • Future research should explore the impact of text support variations on implementation and engagement.
