Direct writing of silver nanowire-based ink for flexible transparent capacitive touch pad

Printed electronics is an emerging field involving the fabrication of electronic devices by the patterned deposition of material inks. For many systems, producing stable printable inks is the key challenge. In this work, the formulation of a silver nanowire-based ink for printed transparent electrode applications is described. The nanowire length and rheology of the ink are adjusted for printing, with a single layer printed film having a sheet resistance of approximately 30 Ω/□ and a transmittance of 94% at 550 nm. The number of printed layers and volume per layer are optimized to get maximum transparency with good electrical conduction. A transparent capacitive touch pad, in the form of a 2 × 2 matrix is implemented, using this ink and with PDMS as the dielectric. The touch pad has a high degree of flexibility with a resistance variation less than 2% after 10 000 bending cycles. The formulated nanowire ink can be extended for other flexible and stretchable transparent sensing applications.
Mathematical Modeling of Drug Release in a Phase-Transient Temperature-Responsive Drug Delivery System in Spherical Coordinates

Abstract A sphere-shaped drug delivery system responsive to temperature, as a unique external stimulus, was introduced and its performance mathematically studied at the pseudo-steady state. The system is composed of three individual sections, including the drug core, phase-transient intermediate shell, and protective polymeric shell. An ON-OFF release of drug could be achieved by increasing or decreasing the environmental temperature around the melting point of the intermediate shell and the smartness of system is due to the solid-liquid phase transition of this shell. The ON-OFF response of the system was mathematically modeled by solving the governing heat and mass transfer equations at the pseudo-steady state. The results showed the lag time of the system in the ON state, the cumulative released drug in the ON state and the fractional undesired release of drug in the OFF state are strongly under the influences of different kinds of factors, including the geometrical characteristics of the system (e.g., the radius of the drug core and the thicknesses of the intermediate and polymeric shells), the physical properties of the system (e.g., the thermal conductivities and diffusion coefficients of the intermediate and polymeric shells), and the environmental and operation conditions.
P‐1.14: The Influence of Bottom gate Dielectric Roughness on the Performance of Double‐Gate a‐IGZO Thin Film Transistors

In this paper,double gate amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide thin film transistors (a‐IGZO TFTs)are investigated in which we use SiO2 deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(PECVD) as bottom‐gate dielectric with different roughness measured by AFM. Our results show that the devices with smaller roughness of bottom‐gate dielectric, which is able to decrease the interface scattering between a‐IGZO surface conducting channel and gate dielectric, can get much larger on state currents and bigger field effect mobilities.Besides,the devices still have good interface properties according to hysteresis curves.
The nature of King James VI/I’s medical conditions: new approaches to the diagnosis

It has been claimed that King James VI/I, an antecedent of King George III, suffered from acute porphyria, and that the disease was passed on to George III through his grand-daughter Sophie, mother of George I. The life of James is reviewed and previously-proposed diagnoses are considered. James’s medical history is discussed in detail and, where possible, examined with validated symptom scales. Using an online database of neurological diseases, the authors show that James’s symptomatology is compatible with a diagnosis of Attenuated (mild) Lesch-Nyhan disease; no evidence was found to support a diagnosis of acute porphyria. In addition, there is evidence of associated Asperger traits which may explain some of the King’s unusual behavioural and psycho-social features.
Conflict and Pressures Faced by Secondary School Athletic Trainers: A Comparison Across Employment Models

Context: Athletic training is a complex profession and can be influenced by the interrelationships required to perform the job effectively. Conflict is inevitable when values do not align, yet no validated instrument exists to assess this construct. Objective: To determine the factor structure of an organizational conflict scale developed for secondary school athletic trainers. Design: Cross-sectional survey Setting: Secondary school athletics Patients or Other Participants: We distributed the questionnaire to two cohorts of athletic trainers (n=6,245), with measures obtained from 1,048 athletic trainers. Intervention(s): Organizational conflict scale composed of 34 items (5-point Likert scale with ‘agreeableness’ (1=strongly agree, 5=strongly disagree) and ‘frequency’ (1=always, 5=never) anchors) related to perceived pressures and conflict over medical decision-making, along with workplace characteristics, including relationships and support. Main Outcome Measure(s): We performed an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) using one dataset (n=323), followed by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using a second dataset (n=725). Results: EFA results revealed a 5-factor solution accounting for 51% of the variance, and reduced the instrument from 34 to 24 items. Factor 1, Coaches, included 10 items which explained 34% of the variance; factor 2, Supervisors, included 3 items explaining 5.6% of the
Decision‐makers use social information to update their preferences but choose for others as they do for themselves

People’s risky decisions can be highly influenced by the social context in which they take place. Across three experiments we investigated the influence of three social factors upon participants’ decisions: the recipient of the decision-making outcome (self, other, or joint), the nature of the relationship with the other agent (friend, stranger, or teammate), and the type of information that participants received about others’ preferences: none at all, information about how previous participants had decided, or information about a partner’s preference. We found that participants’ decisions about risk did not differ according to whether the outcome at stake was their own, another agent’s, or a joint outcome, nor according to the type of information available. Participants were, however, willing to adjust their preferences for risky options in light of social information.
Dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and smoking-related chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study Investigators.

BACKGROUND Fish contain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, principally eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, which are known to interfere with the body's inflammatory response and may be of benefit in chronic inflammatory conditions. METHODS We studied the relation between the dietary intake of n-3 fatty acids and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in 8960 current or former smokers participating in a population-based study of atherosclerosis. Intake of fatty acids was estimated with a dietary questionnaire. The presence of COPD was assessed by a questionnaire on respiratory symptoms and by spirometry. Three case definitions of COPD were used: symptoms of chronic bronchitis (667 subjects), physician-diagnosed emphysema reported by the subject (185 subjects), and spirometrically detected COPD (197 subjects). RESULTS After control for pack-years of smoking, age, sex, race, height, weight, energy intake, and educational level, the combined intake of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid was inversely related to the risk of COPD in a quantity-dependent fashion. The adjusted odds ratio for the highest quartile of intake as compared with the lowest quartile was 0.66 for chronic bronchitis (95 percent confidence interval, 0.52 to 0.85; P < 0.001 for linear trend across the range of intake values), 0.31 for physician-diagnosed emphysema (95 percent confidence interval, 0.18 to 0.52; P for linear trend, 0.003), and 0.50 for spirometrically detected COPD (95 percent confidence interval, 0.32 to 0.79; P for linear trend, 0.007). CONCLUSIONS A high dietary intake of n-3 fatty acids may protect cigarette smokers against COPD.

Preferred Physical Therapist/Physical Therapist Assistant Relationship Content in a Doctor of Physical Therapy Curriculum: A Longitudinal Approach

Background and Purpose. e need for physical therapist (PT) students to graduate with strong teamwork knowledge and skills has never been greater. Although many PT educational programs are preparing graduates to work effectively in an interprofessional team environment, attention to the corresponding importance of collaborative intraprofessional (PT/PT assistant [PTA]) preparation for efficient, cost-effective patient care must not be lost. Method/Model Description. Starting in the first course of the program, learning experiences on the preferred PT/PTA relationship are woven throughout multiple courses over the 3-year Doctor of Physical erapy (DPT) curriculum. Students practice components of effective teaming, make decisions about the direction and supervision of a PTA, and deepen their understanding of the legal and ethical complexities of PT/PTA teams in practice. Specific learning activities on the PT/PTA relationship are described. Outcomes. Survey data and class learning experience and assignment feedback on the PT/PTA curriculum reveal multiple themes related to PT student learning using this model. emes include increased understanding and confidence in PTA knowledge, skills, and roles; recognition of the potential for increased efficiency and improved patient care with PT/PTA teaming; and the importance of PT/PTA communication and relationship. Most respondents to a 1-year postgraduation alumnae/i survey report the collaborative PT/PTA educational experiences helped prepare them for clinical practice with PTAs. Discussion. e need for physical therapy services is increasing, and as professionals, PTs have an obligation to meet this need in a cost-effective way. Using the skills of a PTA continues to be an effective strategy to address this issue. PT students are often not prepared to direct and supervise PTAs in the clinic due to insufficient educational preparation. Conclusion. is curricular thread model incorporates content pertaining to direction and supervision of PTAs and intraprofessional team building across a 3year DPT program to better prepare clinicians for practice.
Landscapes of Little Lhasa Materialities of the Vernacular, Political and Commercial in Urban China

This article problematizes the juxtaposition of place and identity. By analyzing diﬀerent dimensions of landscape, it asks how an ethnically diverse neighborhood in Chengdu, China, has become considered a Tibetan place. The article engages with and pushes John Brinckerhoﬀ Jackson's distinction between political and vernacular landscapes, introducing a third category: the commercial landscape. Each of these three dimensions of the landscape, which are deeply entangled but conceptually distinct, transforms multi-ethnic space into a Tibetan place. The vernacular emerges from the traces of quotidian life in the form of languages, bodily practices, sights, scents, and colors: it ‘feels’ Tibetan. The political relates to the securitization of Tibetan spaces and how people re-imagine the traces of state-led spatial management and organization. Finally, the commercial has to do with the appropriation of Tibetan aesthetics in the pursuit of proﬁting from a Tibetan Buddhist identity. I argue that these three diﬀerent landscapes are what enable us to recognize a multi-ethnic space as a Tibetan place.
Personality Traits and Consumption of Wine and Beer

Abstract Little attention has been paid to the effects of personality traits on the consumption of wine and beer. We used a survey to investigate the associations between personality traits and the differences in expected consumption frequencies of wine and beer for 3,482 Norwegian respondents. High scores on extraversion and openness to experiences increased the expected frequency of wine consumption, high score on agreeableness reduced the frequency of wine consumption, while scores on conscientiousness and neuroticism had no effects. For beer, there were no significant effects between personality traits and the frequency of consumption. (JEL Classification: D12, Q13).
The implementation of in-service training for English as a foreign language teachers (EFL) in universities in Yinchuan

Previous studies showed that the in-service training for EFL teachers did not draw much attention at university level in China. The EFL teacher’s needs, the curriculum designs, the implement of reflective practice, and training activities were rarely considered in service training. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the curriculum, reflective practice, and activities of in-service training, which are the predictors in-service training for EFL teachers as well as to investigate the teachers’ beliefs and the issues related to in-service training in universities in Yinchuan, China. In addition, mix-method approach was employed in this study. 128 EFL teachers were selected through a systematic sampling technique, using the on-line survey instrument in quantitative data collection; on the other hand, eight university’s EFL teachers were selected for interviews, using semi-structured questions in qualitative data collection. The results showed that the curriculum, reflective practice were the predictors of in-service training. Activities of in-service training was not the predictor of in-service training. It also found that in-service training should consider the needs of EFL teachers, focusing on subject and pedagogical content knowledge, transforming the traditional training into the reflective training way, and providing more training opportunities to EFL teachers. Interviewees showed that the key purpose of training was to build up the confidence of EFL teachers to teach English. The main issue was that no department was in charge of the in-service training in universities in Yinchuan. Finally, this study contributed to supporting Shuman’s theory of teacher knowledge and Wallace’s reflective practice as well as contributed to building the effectiveness of in-service training for EFL teachers in universities in Yinchuan, and providing new insights, using mix-method applied in this field.
Enhancing students’ engagement with abstract ideas through conceptual and theoretical frameworks

ABSTRACT The expectation for doctoral research to contribute to knowledge is closely related to examiners’ attention to conceptual and theoretical components in the thesis. These components require abstract thinking and familiarity with a number of research ideas that are difficult to teach and learn. We argue that these can be made more accessible to students using the constructs of conceptual and theoretical frameworks, which can tie them together when there is a clear understanding of ‘concept’ and ‘theory’. Our aim is to enable students to make informed decisions around the research process and enable them to defend or justify their position when utilising either conceptual or theoretical lenses to better understand the contribution of their thesis.
Sensory Design of Learning Environment for Autism : Architects awareness?

The designated learning environment should be created as a unique learning space for autistic children and consider the sensory issues to overcome their needs. This learning environment would help Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to continue their education in different environments to survive independently in the real world. This study used the variables of sensory stimulation, sensory sensitivity, sensory design, and physical learning environment to construct a questionnaire. It would distribute to architects towards achieving their level of knowledge and awareness. Findings are useful in the future for architects and designers when making decisions to provide conducive facilities for the autistic.

Mindfulness Interventions for Latinx Immigrant Couples: Contextual and Cultural Considerations

Abstract As Latinx are the largest minority and immigrant population in the United States, therapists are increasingly likely to work with this population. The high rates of psychological distress that Latinx face in response to ethnic-based discrimination, anti-immigrant sentiment, and/or acculturation-related stressors necessitate contextually and culturally appropriate treatment modalities. Emerging evidence suggests mindfulness practices can improve individual and relational well-being and reduce distress. Although these practices have not yet been applied to work with Latinx and other ethnic-minority populations, we suggest the present-time orientation and collectivist values inherent to mindfulness pair well with Latinx culture. This paper reviews the relevant literature on mindfulness practices and discusses the utility of mindfulness for use with Latinx couples, calling on cultural similarities and attending to contextual factors. Finally, a case example paired with interventions for therapists to adapt to their own practice is used to introduce relational mindfulness interventions and promote relational wellbeing, couple resilience, cultural pride, and connection.
Reciprocal Relation Between Authenticity and Career Decision Self-Efficacy: A Longitudinal Study

Research suggests that authenticity plays a positive role in one’s career decision-making process but little is known of how this role unfolds over time. In the present study, we argue that authenticity positively relates to career decision self-efficacy over time, and vice versa. We conducted a study characterized by a three-wave longitudinal design with 459 Chinese university students over 1 year and examined the reciprocal dynamic effects of authenticity and career decision self-efficacy. Using a cross-lagged approach, we found that authenticity positively relates to career decision self-efficacy over time, and conversely, career decision self-efficacy also positively relates to authenticity over time. Our findings contribute to the literature on authenticity and career decision self-efficacy by demonstrating that they reciprocally promote each other. Our findings also have implications for university students, as well as educators and counselors who assist in facilitating the career decision process.
Civic Agency and Political Engagement: Community Engagement’s Enduring Influence

Through in-depth interviews and focus groups with alumni from three institutions, the authors of this qualitative study explore the contours and desires of political engagement postgraduation. Giving credit to their respective community engagement programs, alumni illustrate their enduring commitments to civic and political action by participating in formal politics, integrating civic dimensions into their careers, and seeing community building as political action. Implications for practice are discussed.
INVESTIGATING THE IMPACT OF VIDEO GAMING ON CHILDREN’S MAGICAL THINKING IN EARLY CHILDHOOD

In our present time, young children are exposed to various forms of electronic media, in particular video games. Several studies have discussed the impact of video games on children’s behavior, and brain development; however, almost none have framed this impact in the context of magical thinking. By using a qualitative narrative inquiry approach and a grounded theory approach, this dissertation aimed at discussing the meaning three children (ages 4 and 5) made after playing a video game called Super Mario bros. This study answered two questions: (1) how is children’s thought processes related to the notion of reality (i.e., understanding what is real, and unreal in the video game) influenced and ultimately formed after playing a video game? (2) And as a result, how do video games impact children’s magical thinking? Findings revealed that video games have an impact on children’s thought process, and as a result, stimulate their magical thinking. A magical thinking model was created to understand the factors, which stimulate magical thinking in children. The implications of this study suggest more research needs to be done to understand the extent a child engages in a video game, and magical thinking.
