Greek Traditional Dances Program and Self-Evaluated Effects and Changes in Life

─ The purpose of the present study was the evaluation of the effects of Greek traditional dancing programs on middle-aged people ’s life. Seventy one subjects (60 women and 11 men) 51.92+4.99 years old, members of different dance clubs, participated in the research. All the subjects participated in a group dancing program for learning and performing Greek traditional dances once a week. The effects and changes in life due to participation in the Greek traditional dancing program were measured through questions by Chewing, Yu Johnson B. htm#emotions). For data analysis were used the descriptive analysis and Pearson chi-square test of the SPSS version 17 for windows . From the results, it was proved that almost 90% of the subjects supposed that their participation in the Greek traditional dancing program had an effect on their lives. The bigger percentage declared that the participation in Greek traditional dances offered them joy, well-being and calmness (33.30%), as well as many effects on their bodies (33.30%), while a smaller percentage claimed that their participation in the program offered them sociability-participation in a group (16.70%) and activity increase (16.70%). In addition, more than 4/5 (86.50%) believe that their participation in the Greek traditional dancing program has changed their confidence concerning their mobility or possible falls. About three-quarters of the subjects (73.70%) consider that their participation in the program of Greek traditional dances influenced in any way their everyday activities. The majority (78.90%) believe that their physical activity has changed as a result of their participation in the program of Greek traditional dances. Finally, all people think they have been benefited from their participation in the Greek traditional dancing program, which is very important. In addition, the Pearson chi-square test showed a significant effect (x 2 =8.15, p<0.05) of the years that the subjects participated in Greek traditional dancing programs on the feeling of people's confidence in their mobility or possible falls. Thus, as the years of participation in Greek traditional dances are increasing, the feeling of people's confidence in their mobility or even the potential falls is increasing. From the results, it was shown that all the middle-aged people suppose that they have been benefited from their participation in the Greek traditional dancing program. The benefits concern their better emotional state expressed in joy, well-being, calmness and sociability-participation in a group, but also their better physical condition, confidence in their mobility and possible falls, increase in their physical activities and the effects on everyday activities. The importance of participation in Greek traditional dances is also worth mentioning. Thus, it could be said that the participation in Greek traditional dancing programs brings about effects and changes on life. Consequently, Greek traditional dances as a regular physical activity may be extremely useful for the quality of life of middle-aged people offering many benefits.

An integrated and strategic evaluation of automated blind controls to achieve energy and occupant’s comfort objectives

The adequate operation of external shading systems would signify an improvement of the thermal and visual interior environment. By controlling the direct sunlight admission, the solar gains can be maximized in winter and minimized in summer. Unfortunately, these advantages are conflicting with a discomfort glare reduction and usually actual control strategies either focus on thermal aspects or daylight maximization. To address this issue, a multi-objective optimization approach (MO) is implemented where key performance indicators (KPIs) for both energy and comfort are evaluated as a function of slats’ tilting angle. The proposed solutions are then compared to standard strategies that prioritize selected aspects of the performance: energy or daylight and visual comfort. In order to showcase our approach, the use of automated exterior blinds is tested by the way of computer simulations in an office room located in Martigny, Switzerland. The RADIANCE based 5-phase matrix multiplication method is employed for the prediction of work plane illuminance as well as for the HDR image generation to assess the glare risks, while thermal loads are evaluated using EnergyPlus. Tested under sunny and cloudy climate conditions, the MO strategy achieved the lowest energy consumption with a maximum of 10% reduction in energy terms and 9% in daylight and visual comfort KPIs. While the MO strategy revealed to be the best option for achieving both comfort and energy goals on the six tested days, future work implies a simulation over the whole year together with real monitoring to confirm its performance.

Procyclical Leverage and Crisis Probability in a Macroeconomic Model of Bank Runs

A macroprudential perspective posits a link between bank fundamentals and the likelihood of banking crises. We articulate this link by developing a dynamic general equilibrium model that features bank runs in a global game framework. The model endogenizes the probability of bank runs as a function of bank fundamentals, leverage in particular. The model generates procyclical leverage and shows that credit growth tends to precede banking crises, replicating the empirical finding of Schularick and Taylor (2012). Countercyclical leverage restrictions can improve social welfare by reducing the crisis probability despite dampening economic activities in normal times.

Introduction: Medical students’ attitudes and perceptions are crucial for designing an anatomy curriculum that meets the standards for safe medical practice. Objective: To assess the attitude and perception of medical students towards the clinical relevance of embryology at Debre Markos University. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Debre Markos University from March 10 to April 20, 2022. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire includes students’ attitudes, career choices, and perceptions of integration of embryology and teratology courses. All viewpoints were rated using a positive Likert scale ranging from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree”. Data were entered using EpiData version 3.1 and exported to SPSS version 25 for analysis. Results: A total of 246 medical students participated in the study. About 159 (64.63%) medical students perceived that embryology requires understanding in the clinics. More than half of the respondents, 169 (68.70%) perceived that embryology is most clinically relevant for all basic sciences. About two-thirds of medical students, 189 (76.83%) agreed that integration of embryology and teratology courses in the first and second years was better than teaching each discipline alone. More than half of medical students, 145 (58.94%) also preferred problem-based learning that combines embryology and teratology. About 201 (81.71%) medical students perceived that virtual reality is more effective than images in the textbook for teaching embryology. Conclusion: In this study, most of the medical students have a positive attitude toward the embryology course. The first-year curricular integration of embryology and teratology must be maintained, and great effort is required to improve students’ passion for developmental anatomy/embryology. These findings might be utilized as an additional motivation for the improvement of the embryology course, with a focus on the practical application of knowledge in a clinical context.
Suppression of Short-channel Effects by Double-gate Double-channel Device Design in Normally-off AlGaN/GaN MIS-HEMTs

ABSTRACT In this work, we have performed numerical simulations of normally-off AlGaN/GaN recessed Metal–Insulator-Semiconductor or MIS-HEMTs. A double-gate double-channel device design is proposed and analyzed using calibrated TCAD models. The dual-gate geometry is shown to provide an enhanced gate control over the double-channel, thereby suppressing the short-channel effects. The proposed device exhibits 72-mV/decade subthreshold slope, which is 50% improvement compared to the single-gate single-channel device with 3 µm gate length. Both the double-gate double-channel and single-gate single-channel structures are compared for their ability to counter short-channel effects in aggressively scaled MIS-HEMT devices. It is shown that, double-gate design is superior to single-gate single-channel device with 80% improvement in drain-induced barrier lowering at sub-micrometer gate lengths.
Study of B ---> phi phi K Decays

We report an observation of the decay B^\pm -> \phi \phi K^\pm and evidence for B^0 -> \phi \phi K^0. These results are based on a 414 fb^{-1} data sample collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider operating at the \Upsilon(4S) resonance. The branching fractions for these decay modes are measured to be Br(B^{\pm} -> \phi \phi K^\pm) = (3.2^{+0.6}_{-0.5} +- 0.3) * 10^{-6} and Br(B^{0} \to \phi \phi K^{0}) = (2.3^{+1.0}_{-0.7} +- 0.2) * 10^{-6} for \phi \phi invariant mass below 2.85 GeV/c^2. The corresponding partial rate asymmetry for the charged B mode is measured to be A_{CP}(B^\pm -> \phi \phi K^\pm) = 0.01^{+0.19}_{-0.16} +- 0.02. We also study the decays B^\pm -> J/\psi K^\pm and B^\pm -> \eta_c K^\pm, where the J/\psi and \eta_c decay to final states with four charged kaons. We find A_{CP}(B^\pm -> \phi \phi K^\pm) with the \phi\phi candidates within the \eta_c mass region is 0.15^{+0.16}_{-0.17} +- 0.02, consistent with no asymmetry.

Korean women and men at diabetes diagnosis, and asked what different kinds of cardiovascular risk factors were associated with increased CVD risk in women with diabetes compared to men in newly diagnosed Korean diabetic

In the general population, males show increased cardiovascular disease prevalence compared to females of similar age. However, evidence suggests women with diabetes might show similar or even increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to diabetic males of similar age. The aim of this study was to demonstrate if future CVD risk gender differences exist at the time of diabetes diagnosis, and to examine which CVD risk factors contribute to increased CVD risk in Korean women with diabetes compared to men with incident diabetes. CVD gender risk factor differences were investigated in subjects from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Surveys (KNHANES), 2007-2010, CVD risks were estimated using the Framingham risk prediction model, and the relative attribution power of CVD risk factors were analyzed by gender and risk groups. 402 subjects (1.8%) were drawn from 33,829 population-based subjects newly diagnosed with diabetes. There were no significant gender differences for 10-year coronary heart disease (CHD) and CVD risk at the time of diabetes diagnosis. Hypercholesterolemia, high LDL-cholesterol, low HDL-cholesterol and abdominal obesity prevalence were higher in newly diagnosed diabetic women than men in the CHD risk groups. The odds ratio for increased CHD risk for abdominal obesity was 4.656, higher LDL-cholesterol was 2.837, lower HDL-cholesterol was 2.958 and hypercholesterolemia was 1.940 in newly diagnosed diabetic women compared to men. In conclusion, abdominal obesity and dyslipidemia control can be the most important treatment strategy to reduce future CVD risk in newly diagnosed Korean diabetic women.
Estimating electromechanical oscillation modes from synchrophasor measurements in bulk power grids using FSSI

Multi-order stochastic subspace identification (MOSSI) has been extensively used to estimate the electromechanical oscillation modes from probing, ambient and ringdown data. It has been validated with good performances, while the computational burden is still a major obstacle. This study develops a fast iterative MOSSI (FSSI) approach for computational enhancement of MOSSI in mode estimation. In the proposed approach, an initial cluster of eigenvalues is formulated through FSSI with repetitive calculations (RCs), and electromechanical oscillation mode separation (EOMS) is utilised to discriminate the electromechanical modes. The RCs within the FSSI is calculated through changing the model order successively over the defined range given by a mean of singular values based order determination strategy. Additionally, the proposed approach is highly reliable against prevalent measurement noises owing to RCs and the EOMS. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated in Kundur's two-area test system by comparing with MOSSI, Prony and autoregressive moving average exogenous. Its applicability for both the ringdown and ambient data is also demonstrated with the phasor measurement units field-measurement data from the China Southern Power Grid. The results confirmed the accuracy, robustness and efficiency of the proposed approach for oscillation mode estimation.
