The perspectives of stroke survivors and health professionals on the use of augmented reality for inpatient stroke rehabilitation: an anticipatory exploration

Abstract Background: Augmented reality is a novel technology with potential to overlay aspects or objects from the home environment into hospital-based training, which may increase relevance and motivation for hospital-based rehabilitation. Consultation with people with lived experience and clinician stakeholders is an important step when exploring possibilities for use of new technology in the hospital environment. Aims: This study sought to understand the need and acceptability of augmented reality from the perspectives of health professionals and stroke survivors during inpatient stroke rehabilitation. Methods: This qualitative descriptive study included stroke survivors (n = 4) and health professionals (n = 10) from a large metropolitan hospital. Data collection was undertaken via focus groups which were transcribed verbatim and analysed using qualitative content analysis. Results: Inductive content analysis revealed three themes: everything is computerised these days; the possibilities are endless…but what about? ; and bringing the outside into the hospital. Participants were open to the use of augmented reality for stroke rehabilitation; however there was uncertainty with pragmatic concerns and stroke survivors describing possible applications in building confidence and self-efficacy, and sharing experiences to enhance caregivers understanding. Conclusion: This research identified that there is potential acceptability for augmented reality in stroke rehabilitation. The needs identified by the participants may inform development of current and future technology.
Enamel surface damage during debonding of ceramic brackets: a brief review

Like general dentistry, the orthodontic speciality also felt the need for aesthetic orthodontic appliances due to increased demand among adult patients, which has led to the development of various aesthetically superior devices. Since the ceramic brackets (CB) were introduced to the orthodontic speciality, they have become an integral part of the armamentarium for this speciality. The makeup and clinical performance have greatly improved. Compared to conventional stainless-steel brackets (SSB), the superior aesthetics of CBare not only well accepted by the patient, particularly by adults. However, the brittle nature of CB has resulted in a high incidence of bracket failure like a fracture during debonding using different techniques. This review paper has reread the effectiveness of different debonding strategies for CB and appraises the enamel surface damages caused by it.

Efficacy of the CoronaVac® Vaccine in a Region of the Colombian Amazon, Was Herd Immunity Achieved?

Introduction. Currently, more than 1.8 billion doses of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines have been applied worldwide. However, some developing countries are still a long way from achieving herd immunity through vaccination. In some territories, such as the Colombian Amazon, mass immunization strategies have been implemented with the CoronaVac® vaccine. Due to its proximity to Brazil, where one of the variants of interest of SARS-CoV-2 circulates. Objective. To determine the efficacy of the CoronaVac® vaccine in a population of the Colombian Amazon. Methods. Between February 24, 2021, and May 19, 2021, a descriptive observational study was carried out in which a population of individuals over 18 years of age immunized with two doses of the CoronaVac® vaccine was evaluated. The study site was in the municipality of Mitú, Vaupés, in southeastern Colombia, a region located in the Amazon bordering Brazil. Results. 87% of the urban population of the Mitú municipality were vaccinated with CoronaVac®. To date, 2.1% of vaccinated individuals have become ill, and only 0.1% of these require hospitalization. No deaths attributable to COVID-19 have been reported among vaccinated individuals, and the vaccine has shown 97% efficacy against mild disease and 100% against severe infection. Conclusions. The herd immunity achieved through mass vaccination in this population has made it possible to reduce the rate of complicated cases and mortality from COVID-19 in this region of the Colombian Amazon.
The Diel Cycle of NH3 Observed From the FY‐4A Geostationary Interferometric Infrared Sounder (GIIRS)

Limiting excess atmospheric ammonia (NH3) is one of the great challenges for humanity in the 21st century but can only be achieved with adequate monitoring means in place. Here, we report the first NH3 measurements from the Geostationary Interferometric Infrared Sounder (GIIRS) onboard the Chinese FY‐4A satellite. The instrument scans almost all of Asia 10 times per day. We show that GIIRS′ unprecedented temporal sampling can be exploited to measure diurnal and nocturnal variations of NH3 and demonstrate this on two case studies over Punjab and the North China Plain. Day–night variations are found to be almost absent in winter, but can reach a factor 2–3 in the warmer months. These case studies are very promising given the future landscape of geostationary sounders, but also show that improved knowledge on lower tropospheric air temperatures and the vertical profile of NH3 is key to better exploit their measurements.
Comparison of sliding time of low-rank coal particles on air and oily bubble surfaces

ABSTRACT In the present communication, the sliding time of low-rank coal particles on air and oily bubble surfaces was investigated. From the analysis of a high-speed camera, it was found that the sliding time of hydrophilic low-rank coal particles attached to air bubble was limited by the maximum angle of contact at about 61º whereas the maximum touching angle for particles attached to oily bubble was about 85º. Meanwhile, the sliding time of particles attached to the oily bubbles was always lower than that of particles attached to air bubbles during the slip process. Moreover, due to the Marangoni effect on the rising oily bubble surface, half of the sliding time of low-rank coal particles passing from about 3º to the bottom of the oily bubble was more than that of particles sliding from about 85º to the bottom of the oily bubble. Furthermore, based on the same hydrodynamic environment, the difference in the sliding time of low-rank coal particles attached to air and oily bubble surfaces was not the same as the difference in induction time between air or oily bubble and particle beds.
Efficacy of Low-Intensity Cognitive Behavior Intervention for Chinese Delinquent Youth

Purpose: Recent literature has pointed out the seriously unmet treatment needs of delinquent youth with mental health problems in Hong Kong. This study pioneers to systematically develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a structured low-intensity cognitive behavioral intervention (LICBI) to concurrently address mental health issues and delinquent behaviors among Hong Kong Chinese youth. Method: A quasi-experimental controlled design was adopted with three assessments at baseline, postintervention, and 6-week follow-up. One hundred and eighty participants were recruited to the LICBI and 123 to the control group. Results: Multilevel modeling analyses showed that the LICBI might be effective in improving mental health–related factors (impulsivity, self-esteem, negative emotions, and loneliness) and delinquent behaviors. A mediation analysis suggested that LICBI might reduce participants’ delinquent behaviors through reducing their impulsivity and enhancing their self-esteem. Discussion: The results provide preliminary evidence for the effectiveness of LICBI for Chinese delinquent youth in a community social service setting.
Commercial Gold(I) and Gold(III) Compounds Supported on Carbon Materials as Greener Catalysts for the Oxidation of Alkanes and Alcohols

Strategies are presented for single‐pot efficient oxidative functionalization of cyclohexane and alcohols, under mild conditions, catalysed by Au(I) or Au(III) compounds supported on different carbon materials with three different surface treatments. The obtained materials were tested for the oxidation of cyclohexane under mild conditions (room temperature and atmospheric pressure), using an environmentally friendly oxidant (tert‐butyl hydroperoxide, TBHP, 70 % aqueous solution). All materials were very selective to the production of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone with no trace of by‐products detected. The catalysts were also tested in the selective oxidation of methyl benzyl alcohol, cyclohexanol, and 2‐octanol with TBHP, under microwave irradiation, to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones. In general, better results are obtained for the heterogenised complexes and that the most efficient support is CNT‐ox‐Na. This is the first report on the oxidation of C−H bonds using the mononuclear gold complexes used; only the oxidation of unsaturated units had been reported previously. The sp3‐C−H activation is much more difficult than the oxidation of unsaturated molecules with molecular oxidants.
Delusion-like experiences are related to negative perceptions of self and others in non-clinical individuals

ABSTRACT Background Delusions are a core feature of psychosis and are thought to exist on a continuum from healthy individuals to clinical populations. This study examined the relationship between delusion-like experiences, using the Peters Delusional Inventory (PDI), and two aspects of personal worldview: core schemas (positive and negative views of the self and others) and locus of control (LOC). Methods 258 healthy participants without a history of psychiatric illness completed an online survey assessing these constructs. Stepwise regression controlling for age and negative affect, revealed that negative self-schemas significantly predicted the presence of delusion–like experiences whilst negative schemas of others significantly predicted both the presence of delusion–like experiences and associated levels of distress and preoccupation. Results Positive schemas did not relate to delusions as measured by the PDI. Hierarchical regression demonstrated that LOC did not significantly predict delusion–like experiences. Discussion The findings highlight that negative schemas of others may be more critically related to delusional experiences than negative self-schemas. Replication in clinical samples is required, while some implications for future research and clinical interventions in prodromal psychosis are examined.
Preservation of late Paleozoic glacial rock surfaces by burial prior to Cenozoic exhumation, Fleurieu Peninsula, Southeastern Australia

The antiquity of the Australian landscape has long been the subject of debate, with some studies inferring extraordinary longevity (>108 myr) for some subaerial landforms dating back to the early Paleozoic. A number of early Permian glacial erosion surfaces in the Fleurieu Peninsula, southeastern Australia, provide an opportunity to test the notion of long-term subaerial emergence, and thus tectonic and geomorphic stability, of parts of the Australian continent. Here we present results of apatite fission track analysis (AFTA) applied to a suite of samples collected from localities where glacial erosion features of early Permian age are developed. Our synthesis of AFTA results with geological data reveals four cooling episodes (C1-4), which are interpreted to represent distinct stages of exhumation. These episodes occurred during the Ediacaran to Ordovician (C1), mid-Carboniferous (C2), Permian to mid-Triassic (C3) and Eocene to Oligocene (C4). The interpretation of AFTA results indicates that the Neoproterozoic−Lower Paleozoic metasedimentary rocks and granitic intrusions upon which the glacial rock surfaces generally occur were exhumed to the surface by the latest Carboniferous−earliest Permian during episodes C2 and/or C3, possibly as a far-field response to the intraplate Alice Springs Orogeny. The resulting landscapes were sculpted by glacial erosive processes. Our interpretation of AFTA results suggests that the erosion surfaces and overlying Permian sedimentary rocks were subsequently heated to between c. 60 and 80°C, which we interpret as recording burial by a sedimentary cover comprising Permian and younger strata, roughly 1 km in thickness. This interpretation is consistent with existing thermochronological datasets from this region, and also with palynological and geochronological datasets from sediments in offshore Mesozoic−Cenozoic-age basins along the southern Australian margin that indicate substantial recycling of Permian−Cretaceous sediments. We propose that the exhumation which led to the contemporary exposure of the glacial erosion features began during the Eocene to Oligocene (episode C4), during the initial stages of intraplate deformation that has shaped the Mt Lofty and Flinders Ranges in South Australia. Our findings are consistent with several recent studies, which suggest that burial and exhumation have played a key role in the preservation and contemporary re-exposure of Gondwanan geomorphic features in the Australian landscape.
Panel Data Modelling of COVID-19 Infected Cases

Background and Objective: The novel coronavirus pandemic, known as COVID-19, could not have been more predictable; thus, the world encountered health crises and substantial economic crises. This paper analyses the trends in COVID-19 cases in October 2020 in four southern districts of Tamil Nadu state, India, using a panel regression model. Materials and Methods: Panel data on the number of COVID-19-infected cases were collected from daily bulletins published through the official website www.stopcorona. tn.gov. in maintained by the Government of Tamil Nadu state, India. Panel data regression models were employed to study the trends. EViews Ver.11. Software was used to estimate the model and its parameters. Results: In all four districts, the COVID-19-infected case data followed a normal distribution. Maximum numbers of COVID-19-infected cases were registered in Kanniyakumari, followed by Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi and Tenkasi districts. The fewest COVID-19 cases were registered in Tenkasi, followed by Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi and Kanniyakumari districts. A random e2ffects model was found to be an appropriate model to study the trend.Conclusion: The panel data regression model is found to be more appropriate than traditional models. The Hausman test and Wald test confirmed the selection of the random effects model. The Jarque-Bera normality test ensured the normality of the residuals. In all four districts under study, the number of COVID-19 infections showed a decreasing trend at a rate of 1.68% during October 2020.
The Impact of Advertisements Placement in the Computer Game on the Effectiveness of Social Campaign Messages

: Purpose: The article focuses on two aspects, spatial location of advertisements and the engagement of the player during the gameplay and investigates, how they influence the effectiveness of advertising in the context of social campaign. Design/Methodology/Approach: The analyses are conducted based on data collected in the survey and recorded by EEG and eye-tracker devices. Findings: The results obtained for the memorization may indicate that message order (first or last) in a sequence of advertisements has major bearing on attention and recall. The computed outcomes of engagement indices show that, depending on the method of calculation, obtained results can differ. Moreover, research with the use of eye-tracking devices can allow for accurate predictions of advertising effectiveness, at least in terms of recall. Results allow to state that it would be recommended to place social advertisements in such spots where the player has less to do and is not distracted by any tasks required to achieve progress in the game. Practical Implications: The proposed solution of testing the effectiveness of computer games in presenting social campaigns messages can be used both by pracitioners that develop such campaigns and by scientists aiming to conduct advertising reserch. Originality/Value: Taking into account data from two different sources allows to capture both conscious and subconscious opinions about the social advertsising message in the game, which shows the comprehensive image of the advertisement’s effectiveness.
Soft Matter Sample Environments for Time-Resolved Small Angle Neutron Scattering Experiments: A Review

With the promise of new, more powerful neutron sources in the future, the possibilities for time-resolved neutron scattering experiments will improve and are bound to gain in interest. While there is already a large body of work on the accurate control of temperature, pressure, and magnetic fields for static experiments, this field is less well developed for time-resolved experiments on soft condensed matter and biomaterials. We present here an overview of different sample environments and technique combinations that have been developed so far and which might inspire further developments so that one can take full advantage of both the existing facilities as well as the possibilities that future high intensity neutron sources will offer.
Determinants of Corporate Sustainability Disclosure: The Case of the S&P/EGX ESG Index

The paper investigates the influence of the corporate board and the dissemination of a separate sustainability report on the corporate sustainability disclosure (CSD) level of corporations listed on the Egyptian sustainability index from 2016–2018. This study used the score-weighting scheme assigned by the Egyptian Stock Exchange (EGX) to evaluate, list, and rank companies in terms of their CSD. Empirical results reveal that boards with higher independence and larger size generate a higher CSD score. The results also support the assumption that the issuance of a separate sustainability report boosts the CSD score. The current study provides insights for policymakers and regulators in developing countries, in general, and in Egypt, in particular, regarding the role of corporate board and issuance of a separate sustainability report in promoting CSD. To the best of the researcher’s knowledge, no prior study has discussed the determinants of the level of CSD for corporations listed on the sustainability index in Egypt.
Protopectinase-se from Geotrichumklebahnii: Studies of the adsorption and pectin-solubilization capacity

Protopectinase SE (PPase-SE) is a polygalacturonase produced by Geotrichumklebahnii with the capacity to liberate pectin through protopectin hydrolysis. The protopectin cleavage is a typical heterogeneous-catalysis reaction whose interaction between the enzyme and the protopectin substrate from lemon albedo along with the release of the pectin-reaction product were the objectives of this investigation. The interaction between PPase-SE and protopectin depended on the particle size and the structure of the substrate as well as on the nature of the buffer. The adsorption kinetics follows, for small particles, a Langmuir isotherm pattern. The reaction exhibited Michaelis-Menten kinetics, giving respective apparent-Km and Vmax values of 30.2 g/l and 57.3 g/l.h. The better results in enzyme adsorption and pectin releasing were obtained with citrate and citrate-phosphate buffers. This report constitutes the first investigation in pectin solubilization involving a model for the substrate-binding mechanism within the pectinase-protopectinase system.
Inter-methodological quantification of the target change for performance test outcomes relevant to elite female soccer players

ABSTRACT Introduction Valid and informed interpretations of changes in physical performance test data are important within athletic development programmes. At present, there is a lack of consensus regarding a suitable method for deeming whether a change in physical performance is practically relevant or not. Methods We compared true population variance in mean test scores between those derived from evidence synthesis of observational studies to those derived from practioner opinion (n = 30), and to those derived from a measurement error (minimal detectable change) quantification (n = 140). All these methods can help to obtain ‘target’ change score values for performance variables. Results We found that the conventional ‘blanket’ target change of 0.2 (between-subjects SD) systematically underestimated practically relevant and more informed changes derived for 5-m sprinting, 30-m sprinting, CMJ, and Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Level 1 (IR1) tests in elite female soccer players. Conclusions For the first time in the field of sport and exercise sciences, we have illustrated the use of a principled approach for comparing different methods for the definition of changes in physical performance test variables that are practically relevant. Our between-method comparison approach provides preliminary guidance for arriving at target change values that may be useful for research purposes and tracking of individual female soccer player’s physical performance.
Too big to cheat? An empirical study of the impact of firm size on earnings management in Vietnam

: Earning management has been an ongoing problem throughout the world nowadays. Determinants of earning management and their impacts are still a controversial topic. This study therefore aims to measure the impact of firm size and sale growth volatility on the manipulation among corporations in Vietnam. Firm size is evidenced positively related to the misstatements, the larger the size is, the greater motivation they have with the earnings. Sale growth volatility, which has not been widely used before, is significantly associated with the earning management. Firms with unstable sales appear to engage in earning manipulation.
