School violence can cause or exacerbate individual and collective trauma. Trauma-informed school approaches offer schools and educators guidance for how to respond. In this chapter, we provide an overview of trauma-informed school approaches and their contributions to healing individual and collective trauma. We begin this chapter by addressing the complex intersection of disability and trauma, and the unique implications of school-based violence for students with disabilities and their teachers. We then define trauma-informed care, describe current short- and long-term trauma-informed school approaches, and explain the aims of these approaches at individual and collective levels. Next, we locate trauma-informed responses to school violence in a context of systemic trauma and share considerations for disrupting the systemic conditions that perpetuate trauma and school violence. We discuss critiques of the trauma-informed care movement and conclude with recommendations for scholars pursuing research in this area.

Hydrogels with low viscosities tend to be difficult to use in constructing tissue engineering (TE) scaffolds used to replace or restore damaged tissue, due to the length of time it takes for final gelation to take place resulting in the scaffolds collapsing due to their mechanical instability. However, recent advances in rapid prototyping have allowed for a new technology called bioplotting to be developed, which aims to circumvent these inherent problems. This paper aims to present details of the process.

The paper demonstrates how by using the bioplotting technique complex 3D geometrical scaffolds with accurate feature sizes and good pore definition can be fabriated for use as biological matrices. PEG gels containing the cell‐adhesive RGD peptide sequence were patterned using this method to produce layers of directional microchannels which have a functionalised bioactive surface. Seeding these gels with C2C12 myoblasts showed that the cells responded to the topographical features and aligned themselves along the direction of the channels.

This process allows plotting of various materials into a media bath containing material of similar rheological properties which can be used to both support the structure as it is dispensed and also to initiate cross‐linking of the hydrogel. By controlling concentrations, viscosity and the temperature of both the plotting material and the plotting media, the speed of the hydrogel gelation can be enhanced whilst it is cross‐linking in the media bath. TE scaffolds have been produced using a variety of materials including poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), gelatin, alginic acid and agarose at various concentrations and viscosities.

This paper describes one of the very few examples of accurate construction of 3D biological microporous matrices using hydrogel material fabricated by the bioplotting technique. This demonstrates that this technique can be used to produce 3D scaffolds which promote tissue regeneration.

The establishment of a library by Robert Baikie in late 18th‐century Kirkwall is examined and the library′s subsequent history and current preservation outlined. The contents of the library are assessed in their contemporary cultural and social background.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of chief information officer’s (CIO’s) strategic knowledge and structural power on enterprise systems (ES) success in the context of systems usage.

Drawing upon knowledge-based view, this study links CIO’s strategic knowledge, structural power, ES assimilation and firm performance in an integral model. Sample data were collected in China and partial least squares technique was used to test the model.

Empirical results suggest that CIO’s strategic information technology (IT) knowledge, strategic business knowledge and structural power have significant influence on ES assimilation. While ES assimilation mediates the association between CIO’s strategic knowledge, CIO’s structural power and firm performance. Another interesting finding in the study is that the imbalance of CIO’s strategic business knowledge and strategic IT knowledge is negatively associated with ES assimilation.

This study enriches the extant literatures in IS leadership by showing the significant role of CIO’s knowledge balance and authority in promoting the assimilation of ES within the organization. The empirical findings can provide guidelines for the top executive to select a person who is familiar with both strategic business and IT knowledge to take charge of ES, also, to provide the person with appropriate structural power, in order to achieve the benefits of ES successfully.

This paper aims to show a series of hydrogels with adjustable mechanical properties, which can be cured quickly with visible light. The hydrogel is prepared conveniently with hydroxyethyl acrylate, cross-linker, gelatin and photoinitiator, and can be printed into certain 3D patterns with the direct ink write (DIW) 3D printer designed and developed by the research group.

In this paper, the authors designed a composite sensitization initiation system that is suitable for hydrogels. The concentration of photoinitiator, gelatin and cross-linker was studied to optimize the curing efficiency and adjust the mechanical properties. A DIW 3D printer was designed for the printing of hydrogel. Pre-gel solution was loaded into printer for printing into established models. The models were made and sliced with software.

The hydrogels can be cured efficiently with 405-nm visible light. While adding various content of gelatin and cross-linker, the mechanical properties of hydrogels show from soft and fragile (elastic modulus of 121.18 kPa and work of tension of 218.11 kJ·m⁻³) to rigid and tough (elastic modulus of 505.15 kPa and work of tension of 969.00 kJ·m⁻³). The hydrogels have high capacity of water absorption. With the DIW 3D printer, pre-gel hydrogel solution can be printed into objects with certain dimension.

In this work, a composite sensitization initiation system was designed, and fast curing hydrogels with adjustable mechanical properties had been prepared conveniently, which has high equilibrium water content and 3D printability with the DIW 3D printer.

This research addresses the challenge of polysemous words in word embedding techniques, which are commonly used in text mining. It aims to resolve word sense ambiguity by introducing a social network sense disambiguation (SNSD) model based on social network analysis (SNA).

The SNSD model treats words as members of a social network and their co-occurrence relationships as interactions. By analyzing these interactions, the model identifies words with high betweenness centrality, which may act as bridges between different word sense communities, indicating polysemy. This unsupervised method does not rely on pre-tagged resources and is validated using the IMDb dataset.

The SNSD model effectively resolves word sense ambiguity in word embeddings, proving to be a cost-effective and adaptable solution to this issue. The experimental results demonstrate that the model enhances the accuracy of word embeddings by accurately identifying the correct meanings of polysemous words.

This study is the first to apply SNA to word sense disambiguation (WSD). The SNSD model offers a novel, unsupervised approach that overcomes the limitations of traditional supervised or knowledge-based methods, providing a valuable contribution to the field of text mining.

The chapter examines the relevance of systematic inquiries as part of a holistic approach to safeguarding. Based on sociological approaches on silence in organisations and against the background of the concept of transitional justice, it is demonstrated that the importance of systematic inquiries for the development of a critical momentum is to be highly valued if sport organisations want to seize the chance to transform. Inquiries uncover voice-inhibiting and abuse-permissive structures in sports organisations and, in this way, help to initiate transformations in the sports system. For victims of abuse, inquiries play an important role in helping them to realise their right to receive the truth, as well as initiating a process of reconciliation. To achieve this, it is essential that inquiries pursue a survivor-based and participatory approach. This is demonstrated in the chapter, using the example of an inquiry conducted in Germany.

Purpose: This study examines the regulatory technology (RegTech) policies and practices in Bangladesh, highlighting barriers due to the slow adoption of RegTech and identifying opportunities amid the growing state of financial technology (FinTech).

Need for the Study: In response to the escalating complexity and volatility of regulatory requirements after the 2008 global financial crisis (GFC), RegTech has emerged worldwide. It harnesses the power of cutting-edge technologies to automate compliance, monitor regulatory changes, and provide real-time risk assessments. The development of RegTech solutions in developing countries is still in its nascent stages, and Bangladesh seems to be no exception.

Methodology: This study employs a secondary data-based research design, collecting data from the annual reports of the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) and various commercial banks from 2017 to 2021. The data analysis employs descriptive statistics and content analysis to measure FinTech growth and assess the effectiveness of RegTech policies adopted by banks.

Findings: The study found a 657% increase in registered users from 2014 to 2022, with transactions rising from BDT104.83 billion to BDT961.33 billion. Bangladesh has enacted strong policies against illicit financial activities, indicating that it is in the early RegTech 2.0 stage focusing on regulatory compliance.

Practical Implications: The analysis reveals that Bangladesh’s lag in RegTech adoption, which exacerbates money laundering and suspicious transactions due to the increased use of FinTech. Regulatory authorities should enhance technology, enforce policies, and raise awareness to detect financial non-compliance.
