Production of access services in immersive content: understanding the needs of audio describers

This article describes the development and the results of usability tests of an audio description web editor developed within the Immersive Accessibility (ImAc) project. The editor’s novelty is that it allows audio describers to produce audio description in 360° content, known also as spherical videos or omnidirectional videos. Such videos offer a 360-degree field of view horizontally and a 180-degree field of view vertically, which means that they differ from standard 2D content watched on rectangular screen in a way that users can explore the 360° sphere by head movements. The usability tests have been conducted with professional audio describers from different countries. In the first part of the article, the study is presented within a broader context, introducing the project and the main challenges related to providing access services in 360° content. Secondly, the main features of the editor, used both when editing standard two-dimensional content and specific to the medium under discussion are explained. Then, the methodological aspects of the test, such as measures, participants, materials, and experimental protocol, are discussed in detail. The discussion of the results is offered in the final part of the article, and it provides some insights on how professional describers approach new technologies, and what functions do they need to provide AD in an efficient way.
Biochemical Interrogation of Rare Cystic Fibrosis Mutations Informs Strategies for Future Therapeutic Intervention

There are over 2000 mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene associated with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) disease, and to date, the two recently FDAapproved drugs Kalydeco and Orkambi have been effective in rescuing functional expression of the two most common CFTR mutations, G551D and ΔF508, respectively, representing approximately 90% of the patient population worldwide. However, potential efficacy of these therapies for the remaining ~2000 mutations is unknown. Thus, biochemical characterization of each rare variant is needed to assess potential clinical benefit. My thesis attempts to understand molecular defects associated with less common CFTR mutations, mainly c.3700A>G (causing abberant splicing and subsequent translation of ΔI1234_R1239CFTR) and c. 2052_2053insA (Q685TfsX4-CFTR), with the goal of determining whether current CF therapies (specifically designed for G551D and ΔF508) could be used for these rare variants. Additionally, my work aims to identify unique molecular aberrations for these rare, mutant CFTR proteins in order to facilitate development of mutation-specific therapeutics. Through a collaborative initiative involving clinicians, biochemists and biophysicists, we found that ΔI1234_R1239-CFTR shared certain biochemical attributes with ΔF508-CFTR, however contained intrinsic defects which differed significantly (i.e. poorer interdomain assembly

Demands and Dental Treatment Needs among Children Attending the Clinic of Pedodontics, College of dentistry-Babylon University

Background: Demands and dental treatment needs were assessed among Children Attending the Clinic of Pedodontics, College of dentistry-Babylon University, for the first time. Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate dental demands and needs of group of children attending clinic of Pedodontics in the College of Dentistry, Babylon University. Methodology: A descriptive clinical study was done for random sample of children. The sample consists of 400 child (200 males and 200 females). The ages of those children were range between 5-15 years. Children were examined in the peadodontic and Preventive Dentistry clinic /College of Dentistry / Babylon University during the period of 1 march 2013 until 1 April 2013. Data were analyzed through using descriptive statistical analysis, which include (Percentage arithmetic mean and standard deviation). Results: The study showed that toothache 48.8% formed the most frequent demands, followed by dental trauma, orthodontics problems, and then preventive measures. Concerning treatment needs; 98.5% of children needed dental treatment because of dental caries, while 97.8 of children needed periodontal treatment. In addition, 20.8% of children needed treatment because of traumatic dental injuries, as well as 18.0% of children needed orthodontics treatment, while only 6.2% of children needed preventive measures. Furthermore, two or more surface restoration needed in 32.7% of children, while 27.2% of children needed pulp care, then 22.8% of children needed one surface restoration. Data of this study reflect that, the expressed need or demand for dental care falls short of the normative need among Iraqi children. Conclusions: There is a far distance between the normative requirements and demands for treatment, where that most parents came to visit dental clinic only after their children feel with severe pain. There was a lack of health awareness regarding oral and dental health in children and their parents. Recommendations: The study recommended the need for collaborative efforts made by the sectors of primary health care, in addition to the faculties of dentistry in order to raise the level of health awareness with regard to the health of the mouth and teeth and by increasing the efficiency of workers in this field through brought into the training courses and increase the efficiency of the quality of services provided, in addition to holding seminars periodically with the participation of media for the purpose of educating the people.

Effect of Surfactant, Oil:Water Ratio and Temperature on the Rheology of Emulsion-Suspension Complex Fluids: Implications for Oil-Based Drilling Fluids

Drilling fluids are non-Newtonian mixtures that play a critical role in the timely and successful completion of oil and gas wells. In the particular case of offshore operations, proper design of drilling fluids is of paramount importance in the constant quest to lower break-even prices. Most downhole problems are directly or in-directly related to the rheological and physical properties of drilling fluids, thereby calling for a better understanding of the underlying changes of these properties with respect to drilling fluid composition and external conditions. The current stance in the design of drilling fluids involves the selection of components and their concentration based on their known attributes. Surfactants and Oil:Water ratio are examples of typical parameters used in the design of drilling fluids. However, the laid emphasis on these attributes tends to overlook other effects of these components that equally affect their end rheology and physical properties, possibly greater extents. This project sought to assess the underlying effects of typical components used in the preparation of oil-based drilling fluids (OBM), through the investigation of oil-base complex fluids (OCF). Where OCFs refer to emulsion-suspension mixtures having oil as continuous phase. Surfactants and Oil:Water ratio were the composition variables investigated, with temperature as the external variable. The variables in the project were thus both qualitative and quantitative. Results of the experimental analysis found the underlying effects of both composition and external variables to significantly affect the flow curve, yield stress and stability of OCFs. Comparison between OCFs and OBMs showed similarities on the effect of composition and temperature on their flow and yield properties. Phenomena such as phase inversion, depletion flocculation and wall slip were equally found to affect the mechanical properties of both fluids, albeit to different extents.

Depth of an ideal on ZD-modules

Let R be a Noetherian ring, I an ideal of R and M a ZD-module. Let S be a Serre subcategory of the category of R-modules satisfying the condition CI, and let I contain a maximal S-sequence on M. We show that all maximal S-sequences on M in I, have the same length. If this common length is denoted by S-depth(I,M), then S-depth(I,M) = inf{i:ExtiR(R/I,M) ? S} = inf{i:HiI (M)? S}. Also some properties of this notion are investigated. It is proved that S-depth(I,M) = inf{depthMp : p ? V (I) and R/p ? S} = inf{S-depth(p,M) : p ? V (I) and R/p ? S} whenever S is a Serre subcategory closed under taking injective hulls, and M is a ZD-module.
The effects of leaf age and host plant on larval development of an endemic Fijian butterfly Papilio schmeltzi (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae)

The islands of the Fijian archipelago contain approximately 44 species of butterfly, five of which are thought to be endemic (Patrick & Patrick 2002; Prasad & Waqa-Sakiti 2007). The endemic Fijian swallowtail butterfly Papilio schmeltzi (Herrich-Schaeffer) is the only member of the Papilionidae to occur in Fiji. This species is usually found in forest or areas with dense vegetation and although widely distributed it is only ever locally abundant (Patrick & Patrick 2002 Prasad & Waqa-Sakiti 2007). Primarily due to habitat loss, forest fragmentation and habitat degradation, it is thought that P. schmeltzi is currently undergoing a severe population decline and significant reduction in geographic range (Chandra et al. 2013a).
WHO alcohol brief intervention training manual for primary care

Alcohol contributes significantly to the disease and mortality burden in the WHO European Region, and primary health care systems play an important role in reducing the impact of harmful alcohol use. Screening and brief interventions (SBIs) for alcohol are an evidence-informed approach to addressing the needs of the many patients presenting in primary care who may benefit from reducing their alcohol consumption. This manual provides information to plan training and support for primary care practitioners to confidently deliver SBI for alcohol problems to their patients. The manual outlines the background and evidence base for SBI, and gives practical advice on establishing an implementation programme as well as detailed educational materials to develop the knowledge and skills of participants in organized training sessions.
Mitochondrial solar sensitivity: evolutionary and biomedical implications

Depending on cellular demand or oxidative stress, mitochondria produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) or reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby controlling the entire scale of cellular energy supply or disease, respectively. While deficiency in ROS can compromise the immune system, excessive ROS levels contribute to a large number of pathological conditions, including retinal, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular disease as well as cancer. Aging is also a process accelerated by ROS.
Currency Crises Prediction Using Deep Neural Decision Trees

Currency crises are major events in the international monetary system. They affect the monetary policy of countries and are associated with risks of vulnerability for open economies. Much research has been carried out on the behavior of these events, and models have been developed to predict falls in the value of currencies. However, the limitations of existing models mean further research is required in this area, since the models are still of limited accuracy and have only been developed for emerging countries. This article presents an innovative global model for predicting currency crises. The analysis is geographically differentiated for regions, considering both emerging and developed countries and can accurately estimate future scenarios for currency crises at the global level. It uses a sample of 162 countries making it possible to account for the regional heterogeneity of the warning indicators. The method used was deep neural decision trees (DNDTs), a technique based on decision trees implemented by deep learning neural networks, which was compared with other methodologies widely applied in prediction. Our model has significant potential for the adaptation of macroeconomic policy to the risks derived from falls in the value of currencies, providing tools that help ensure financial stability at the global level.
How Gender and Working Conditions Affect Occupational Stress and Job Satisfaction of General Education’s Preschool and Elementary Teachers in Greek Public Schools

Stress is considered as an accretive psychosocial peril, which has its source in multiple factors and it is considered responsible for many serious diseases. Lately stress appears as a very important and complex problem that needs to be faced both in personal and working relations. There are few researches in Greece concerning teachers’ stress and job satisfaction. For that reason, in this particular study, we examined the working conditions’ effect on stress and therefore on job satisfaction of 172 Primary and Elementary teachers of General Education in Greek public schools using a relevant weighted questionnaire. In addition, we examined the correlation between gender and occupational stress. The greater purpose of the study was to shed light onto the relation of working conditions to stress and job satisfaction. The t-test showed that stress levels do not differ between the two genders in opposition to our primary hypothesis and previous studies. We used Pearson r coefficient, which did not confirm either the correlation between negative working conditions or the correlation between stress and low job satisfaction and that leads to the need of the matter’s further investigation. The fact that gender and working conditions do not affect occupational stress and job satisfaction may be indicative of the need of a more complex approach in understanding these variables.
Do Emotional Solidarity Factors Mediate the Effect of Personality Traits on the Inclination to Use Nonmonetary Peer-to-Peer Accommodation Networks?

This article focuses on nonmonetary peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodation networks, examining the way in which personality traits, emotional solidarity factors, and technology-related perceptions affect the inclination to participate in these networks. To test the theoretical framework, a structural equation model is validated, based on a representative online survey of German consumers (N=600). The findings confirm the explanatory power of the model components considered that directly or indirectly impact individual usage intention. A group analysis distinguishes between the guest and host perspective, providing further insights into the antecedents of the inclination toward P2P accommodation networks. Based on the study results, the present article develops managerial implications and suggests avenues for future research.
Perceptions and barriers of hands hygiene practice among medical science students in a medical school in Malaysia

Introduction: Hand hygiene is the single, most critical measure for reducing the risk of transmitting organisms to patients and health care providers. To our knowledge, none of such study on Malaysian university student exists in the literature. Therefore, the objective was to explore the perceptions and barriers of hand's hygiene practice among university students. Methods: Focus group discussion conducted in January-2010 among 40 medical science students from Management and Science University (MSU). Simple random sampling was used, and the ethics were obtained from participants. The students were divided into five focus groups; the number of each group ranged between 8-10 members. The data obtained were classified into various categories, and the data was analyzed manually. Results: The majority of the participants mentioned that they frequently washed their hands using soap. Some of the participants washed the hands only with plain water. However, the majority of the participants mentioned that the laziness was their main barrier of frequent hand washing, followed by lack of nearby water supply and then the feeling that their hands are not dirty enough to be infected. The majority of the participants agreed that hand washing is clinically significant in reducing the spread of infectious diseases; some of them disagreed. The Majority of the participants knew the hand washing technique in the university. Conclusion: Medical science students still have some misconception and negative attitude towards hand hygiene practice. Multidisciplinary strategies needed to improve hand hygiene among students.
