Equilibrium and transport properties of polyatomic gases
Authors:   , Toghiani-Doulatabadi Rebecca Kaye
Published: May 2024

The spherical shell intermolecular potential function was used to represent the properties of pure components and mixtures of gases. Parameters for this function were evaluated using second virial coefficient data and viscosity data. The representation of third virial coefficient data when the additive third virial coefficient computed with the spherical shell function was analyzed. Improved numerical integration methods were presented for both the reduced second and additive third virial coefficients. These methods were designed to integrate functions defined over a semi-open interval that change sign of slope over a small change in integration variable. These methods do not require integral truncation and provide an analytic estimate of the integration error. The Infinite Order Sudden approximation was used to describe the collision dynamics of two diatomic molecules and includes the identical particle symmetry. Expressions were developed for the quantum mechanical cross sections necessary to compute gas transport coefficients for a binary mixture and a pure gas.
Indexes of the influence of weather on corn yields in Missouri
Authors:   , Silva Donald Herbert
Published: May 2024

Aggregate measures of outputs and inputs are published periodically by the Bureau of Census, U.S. Department of Commerce, to help in understanding the changing economic situation. Two types of variation, systematic and random, exist in these measurements of economic phenomena. In agriculture, much of the data does include significant random effects. Weather is one of the primary causes of random variation in agricultural production and has a significant effect on yield data. In fact, this random element often exerts such a great influence upon yield data that changes in the yield effect of the systematic factor are difficult to identify. The primary object of this research was to construct a suitable measure of the influence of weather on corn yields in Missouri. The study was designed (1) to construct and evaluate Indexes of weather using existing techniques in a designated Central Missouri area, (2) to construct and evaluate indexes of weather in a designated area utilising the most recent findings from weather-related studies, (3) to construct weather indexes for the crop reporting districts and the State using the most suitable technique. The initial comparison of techniques was confined to seven counties in Central Missouri. Weather data and the necessary yield data were readily available for the region. Indexes constructed using Stallings' technique and experimental plot data explained thirty per cent of the total variation in corn yields for the seven county area. Weather indexes constructed using Shaw's technique and hybrid trial yield data explained fifteen per cent of the variation in yields for the area. The indexes constructed from climatological data explained fifty-five percent of the variation in the area corn yields. Since Stallings and Shaw use actual yield deviations from trend as a measure of the influence of weather, it is probable that these indexes are confounded with a weather-technology interaction factor. Deviations from trend may contain part of the yield effect of a changing weather-technology interaction. Some evidence was presented to support the belief that average experimental plot yields vary sore than mean yields for larger producing areas. Using actual yield deviations from the trend in plot data, as Stallings suggested, would provide a measure which would overestimate the influence of weather on corn yields for a large producing area. Weather indexes were constructed for corn in Missouri using climatological data. These indexes explained sixty per cent of the variation in Missouri corn yields from 1930 through 1962. Weekly precipitation was the weather basis for the indexes. If a suitable method can be discovered which would incorporate other meteorological factors, as well as precipitation, perhaps the weather indexes can be improved upon.
An analysis of record systems for farm management
Authors:   , Eriksen Douglas Coleman
Published: May 2024

This study was designed to provide information as to the efficiency of EDP farm record systems in meeting the record requirements of large multiple-enterprise farming operations. Because of the many questions raised about electronic farm record keeping systems an evaluation of EDP record keeping was considered desirable. The Mail-In Record System sponsored by the University of Missouri was selected for detailed analysis. The specific objectives were: (1) to evaluate the Missouri Mail-In Record Program and (2) to develop a meaningful, yet efficient, record system which would meet the management needs of managers of large commercial farms. To accomplish the above objectives it was first necessary to develop a basic framework in which the Missouri Mail-In Record System and any proposed system could be evaluated. The criteria were determined to be: 1. The system must provide information for management control, especially: a. production control b. revenue control c. cost control 2. The system must be one which produces meaningful information, so that operations may be compared on a valid basis. 3. The system must present a true picture of operating results. 4. The system must be economically feasible for planning activities. In addition to the above mentioned criteria a fifth, the providing of income tax information, was considered and rejected. The Missouri Mail-In Record System was evaluated using for standards the criteria as developed. The weaknesses of the program were pointed out and suggestions were presented for their correction. Even with changes, the program would still be unable to successfully meet all four of the criteria. Thus a need clearly exists for an entirely new program. A new program was proposed and presented in three areas-- recording procedures, valuation and cost allocation. Recording procedures were presented which would reduce the work load of gathering information and enable the establishment of better permanent records. The valuation problems encountered in a farm record program were investigated and solutions were set forth. The determination of the value of unpaid inputs was standardized by relating the value to externally determined values. The solution to the cost allocation problem was based upon the use of standards. Cost centers could be established in which related cost would be accumulated. These cost centers would be credited with a standard value for the services which are furnished. The residual balance in the cost center accounts at the end of the period would be treated as either a favorable or unfavorable variance. These variances would indicate the efficiency of the manager in the controlling of cost and meaningful comparisons could be established for inter-farm comparisons.

The density of existing internal and external school activities sometimes makes them forget to return books to the library, resulting in many books being held back. This condition causes losses for the borrower because they cannot borrow books that have not been returned. On the other hand, it also causes losses to the school because books that should be able to help in the learning process cannot be used. Another impact of the large number of books that have not been returned is that prospective borrowers must then regularly check whether the books are available or not. One of the causes of the above problems is the absence of a reminder of the borrowing time limit, causing many books to be returned late, and the unavailability of a communication platform between borrowers and librarian. From the description of the problem above, we need a web-based application that is able to provide return notifications, extend borrowing, and order books to be borrowed later.

Physical chemical milk is an emulsion of milk fat in an aqueous solution of proteins, milk sugar and mineral salts. The high molar conductivity of goat milk samples compared to cow's milk indicates a high content of mineral substances. That goat milk is rich in total proteins is also indicated by the protein content in the samples, which are higher than the cow's milk samples. However, higher fat content was recorded in cow's milk samples, which also results in higher surface tension of cow's milk. The freezing point and refractive index of goat milk are higher compared to literature data and cow milk samples. The acidity of goat's milk comes from the acidic properties of casein, citrate, phosphate, etc. it is lower than cow's milk and is in accordance with literature data. The viscosity of pasteurized goat's milk at all temperatures is also higher than that of cow's milk.
Prevalence of Gestational Diabetes and its Related Risk Factors among Rural Pregnant Women
Authors: Veerappan Pragadeesh Raja , Lenin Dharani , Sahaya Sona Thresa
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of gestational diabetes among rural pregnant women and to assess the related risk factors among gestational diabetes mothers in rural areas.
Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among antenatal mothers between 24 to 28 weeks of gestation in rural areas of Kancheepuram district, Tamil Nadu, for a period of one year from January 2017 to December 2017. Data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire through face-to-face interviews with antenatal mothers regarding their demographic profile, obstetric history, nutrition, and lifestyle. The level of stress was assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale. Oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) were performed after an overnight fast of at least 12 hours, with a 75 g glucose load administered, and venous samples were drawn after 2 hours. GDM was diagnosed using specific criteria.
Results: Out of 244 antenatal mothers, 36 (14.8%) were found to have gestational diabetes. The majority of gestational diabetes mothers were housewives (p=0.02). In the current study, most of the GDM mothers were from lower-middle-class families (p=0.04). GDM mothers with a family history of chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease (p=0.009), as well as those with an increased number of pregnancies, had a higher risk of gestational diabetes (47.6%), which was statistically significant (p=0.001). Patients with hypertension and thyroid disorders were also at an increased risk of developing diabetes during pregnancy (p=0.04). Past history of surgery (p=0.03), low calorie intake, and nutritional deficiencies in their diet (p=0.02) were other identified risk factors.
Conclusion: This study suggests that the prevalence of gestational diabetes is high among rural antenatal mothers. Therefore, these risk factors should be identified and managed through a risk-based approach to minimize the complications of GDM in both the mother and fetus.
Keywords: diabetes, pregnancy, stress.

Published: May 2024

Objective:  To assess the maternal and perinatal outcome in pregnant women with HIV infection and the role of Antiretroviral therapy in reducing complications of pregnancy.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from HIV-positive mothers receiving antenatal care at a tertiary care center between February 2015 and January 2020. The study examined various adverse pregnancy outcomes in relation to antiretroviral treatment. Statistical analysis employed chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests to determine differences in distribution proportions of patients on ART versus those not on ART across various antenatal and neonatal complications, with significance attributed to p-values <0.05.
Results: A total of 155 patients were found to be HIV positive. Out of this 58 were diagnosed before pregnancy and 97 during pregnancy. Miscarriage was seen in one (0.6%) patient on ART and two (1.2%) not on treatment (p-value 0.6). Sixteen (10.3%) patients underwent medical termination of pregnancy (MTP); all were given HIV-positive status and they were all on ART (p-value <0.001). Anemia was seen in eighteen (11.6%) patients out of which 14(9%) were on ART (p-value 0.01). One (0.64%) woman had thrombocytopenia and she was on ART (p-value 1). Two (1.2%) patients on ART had diabetes mellitus (p-value 0.4). One (0.64%) patient who was on ART developed polyhydramnios (p-value 1).  A total of 8 (5.16%) women had hypertensive disorders; out of which 4(2.58%) were on ART (p-value 1). 11(7.09%) patients who were on ART and 6(3.8%) not on ART had preterm labor (p-value 0.2). 12(7.74%) patients who were not on ART had intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and 2(1.29%) on ART had IUGR. A total of 6(3.87%) patients had Intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD), of which 3(1.93%) were on ART and 3(1.93%) were not (p-value 1).  Pre-labour rupture of membranes (PROM) was observed in 2(1.29%) women on ART and 11(7.09%) patients not on ART (p-value 0.004). All women (100%) had CD4 counts more than 500. All (100%) babies delivered at our center received antiretroviral therapy either with oral Nevirepine. Almost half the women (51.6%) had vaginal delivery. Almost one-fourth, 41(26.4%) had a cesarean section. All caesareans were done given obstetric indications. There were no instrumental deliveries. Our study had a total of 122 live births. All 122(100%) babies were exclusively breastfed. None of the babies delivered in our center developed HIV on follow up which was done at 6 weeks and 6 months. Nine (5.8%) patients had infections. None of these women were on ART(p-value < 0.001).
Conclusion: HIV infection during pregnancy is associated with various adverse outcomes, but ART plays a crucial role in mitigating these risks and preventing mother-to-child HIV transmission. Initiating ART in all HIV-positive mothers and their infants is essential regardless of HIV status.
Keywords: anemia, ART, HIV, MTP, Perinatal outcome,  PROM.
Successful management of an unruptured extrauterine pregnancy in a woman with a history of prior miscarriage in Indonesia: a case report
Authors: Mukti Achmad Fahrur Rozi , Tunjungseto Arif
Published: May 2024

Objective: To describe the prompt and successful treatment of an extrauterine pregnancy case in a tertiary-level hospital in Indonesia.
Methods: We report a case of prompt and successful management of unruptured tubal pregnancy in the dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya.
Results: Mrs. N (32 years old) presented with lower abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding several days before admission. She was sexually active, used no contraceptives, and had a history of miscarriage. On examination, she was hemodynamically stable. A bimanual exam revealed cervical motion tenderness and pain. A high human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) level (1,725 IU/L) and a left-sided mass, highly suspected as an extrauterine gestational sac without sign of free fluid in the abdomen nor fetal heart rate on ultrasound, prompted diagnostic laparoscopy. We found a tubal pregnancy located on the ampullae of the left fallopian tube with minimal hemoperitoneum (50 ml). A chromopertubation test was done to ensure a patent right fallopian tube, so we did a salpingectomy. The patient recovered well and was discharged home on day 2 post-procedure.
Conclusion: Early diagnosis is vital and feasible to prevent morbidity and mortality in women with ectopic pregnancy. All sexually active women complaining about painful abdomen or bleeding through the vagina must be examined for an ectopic pregnancy to enable early diagnosis and prompt treatment. A laparoscopic surgery done by a trained individual provided a safe and minimally invasive intervention to this case.

Bir Anakronizm Örneği el-Baḳara Suresi 205. Ayet ile er-Rūm Suresi 41. Ayetin Çevre Sorunlarıyla İlişkilendirilmesi
Authors: Eser Kadir
Published: May 2024

Fark edilen tehlikeye paralel olarak son yıllarda çevreyi konu edinen birçok çalışma kaleme alınmıştır. Bu çalışmaların bir kısmında yaklaşık 500 ayetin çevreye ve çevre sorunlarına işaret ettiği savunulmuştur. Çevre sorunlarına işaret ettiği söylenen ayetlerin başında el-Baḳara suresi 205 ve er-Rūm suresi 41’inci ayetler gelmektedir. Bu çalışmada bu iki ayetin çevre sorunlarıyla ilişkilendirilmesinin sıhhati kritik edilmiştir. Ayetlerin delalet ettiği manayı belirleyebilmek için kısaca çevre kirliliğinin tarihine değinilmiş, ulaşılan bilgiler nispetinde nüzul dönemi çevre şartları ve çevre insan etkileşimi tasvir edilmiştir. Modern dönemde hayat hızla değişmekte ve her geçen gün önümüze yeni soru ve sorunlar gelmektedir. Bu soru ve sorunları çözme gayreti bazen Müslüman zihinleri tarihsel ve metinsel bağlamı görmezden gelerek ayet lafızlarına, gelenekten ve Kur’an bütünlüğünden kopuk yeni manalar vermeye itmektedir. Bu yol takip edilerek ayet lafızlarına verilen manalar sözün sevk ediliş maksadından da son derece uzaktır. el-Baḳara suresi 205 ve er-Rūm suresi 41’inci ayetlerin ilk ve özgün anlamını ortaya çıkarma gayreti bu yöntemin elverişliliğini sorgulamanın yanında çevre hususunda üretilen fikriyatın gözden geçirilmesine de katkıda bulunabilir. Çalışmada kaynak taraması, betimleme ve analiz yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Çevre kirliliğinin tarihine ilişkin veriler alan uzmanlarının eserlerinden derlenmiştir. Nüzul dönemi çevre koşulları ise şehir tarihleri, siyer ve hadis kaynaklarıyla konuya ilişkin son dönemlerde yapılmış araştırmalardan faydalanılarak tasvir edilmiştir. Klasik dönemden günümüze önde gelen tefsir kaynakları taranarak geleneğin ayetler hakkında ürettiği yorumlar derlenmiştir. Alan uzmanlarının da ifade ettiği üzere çevre kirliliği sanayileşme sonrası ortaya çıkmış bir olgudur. Nüzul dönemi insanının çevre üzerinde sistematik bir tahribatından söz etmek mümkün değildir. Dolayısıyla el-Baḳara suresi 205’inci ayet münafıklardan gelen/gelebilecek tehlikelere karşı muhataplara yöneltilmiş bir uyarıdır. Er-Rūm suresi 41’inci ayette de inkârları sebebiyle müşriklerin başlarına gelen/gelebilecek musibetler dile getirilmiştir. Her iki ayet de insan eliyle çevreye verilen zararı yani çevre kirliliğini konu edinmemiştir. Bu bakımdan, söz konusu ayetlerin çevre sorunlarıyla ilişkilendirilmesi, doğru bir yaklaşım değildir, denilebilir.
Regional administrative data and their role in planning, programming and controlling at regional level

Published: May 2024

Regional administrative data may help public administrations in organizing their information, identifying problems, defining solutions and verifying results of the actions taken.
The objective of this work is to present the discussion output of the working group (GDL) “The use of regional pharmaceutical data to facilitate health planning and outcome monitoring” which was held during the Regional Pharmaceutical Policy Forum of 2023.
The GDL focused on identifying a model for planning, programming and monitoring health resources based on the data-driven approach and on the use of already existing regional administrative data, defining some gaps and developing proposals to implement this strategy. In particular, were highlighted the needs to adopt a broader perspective that considers healthcare costs as a whole (and not, specifically, oriented towards the governance of pharmaceutical assistance), to create ad-hoc training courses focused on the use of real-world data, and, similarly to some European Countries, to move towards an open access policy (accessible data) that can be useful to improve citizens’ health protection services, in compliance with the GDPR.
THE HUMANE MOTIVE AS A COMPONENT OF THE CRIMINAL MOTIVATION OF JUVENILE OFFENDERS
Authors: Ustinov Dmitrij
Published: May 2024

The article presents the results of a study of the criminal humane motive of juvenile offenders as an internal motivation aimed at bringing benefit, doing good to other people in a way prohibited by law, as well as diagnostics of other personal qualities and properties of juvenile offenders that influence the formation of a criminal humane motive. The results of comparing the data obtained with the corresponding indicators of law-abiding minors are demonstrated. As psychodiagnostic tools, a specialized author's technique for diagnosing potential motives of delinquent property behavior of minors and non-specialized methods for diagnosing general motivation are used: “Pyramid of Needs” (V. V. Skortsov), “Proverbs” (S. M. Petrova) and “Method for diagnosing the motivational structure of personality” (V. E. Milman). The results obtained are of practical importance in the development and implementation of rehabilitation and preventive programs by subjects of juvenile delinquency prevention.
Safe System in Practice: A Study of Practitioner Awareness, Support and Implementation
Authors: Green Michael , Muir Carlyn , Oxley Jennie , Sobhani Amir
Published: May 2024

In 2004, Australian jurisdictions adopted the Safe System approach to address road trauma. This approach seeks to prevent crashes on the road through harm minimisation principles that include a shared responsibility for safety. As an early adopter, the Victorian Government has encouraged practitioners, through guidance material and public policy, to implement Safe System. Yet, limited information exists regarding the degree of awareness of, or support for, the Safe System by individuals, whose role it is to influence and create the road safety outcomes expected by society. To understand practitioner awareness, perceptions and implementation of Safe System, an online survey was developed. Findings from completed surveys (n=469) indicate that one quarter of practitioners were unaware of the Safe System concept. Practitioners who had heard of Safe System, broadly agreed with the approach and believed that it positively contributed to their work. Importantly, practitioners believed that they were implementing Safe System and were likely to continue to do so in the future. A small subset of practitioners was not supportive of the approach, which alongside the low levels of awareness presents an additional challenge to policy implementation. Victoria’s experience highlights to other jurisdictions seeking to apply Safe System that active and sustained engagement with practitioners is required to ensure they are aware of the concept, collectively understand it and are clear when, where and how it is to be implemented.
Situational Action Theory to Understand Risky Driving Behaviours in Beach Environments
Authors: Anderson Levi , Love Steven
Published: May 2024

This study used Situational Action Theory (SAT) to investigate personal and situational factors affecting risky driving behaviours (i.e., speeding, drink driving, drug driving) on the beach. A survey was conducted with 42 drivers, aged 17-60 years, on Teewah/Noosa Northshore Beaches. Following the SAT framework, factors including participants’ morals, attitudes, behaviours, self-control, and situational influences were analysed. Results revealed that participants generally viewed offending driving behaviour on the beach as less risky, compared to on the road. Whilst participants reported a higher likelihood of drug driving on the beach, speeding was reported as more likely on the road. Correlational analyses indicated that participants’ beliefs about driving behaviours were generally aligned between beach and road environments, potentially confirming that the ‘person’ factor within SAT, also plays a key role in beach offending. Finally, cross-tabulations suggested that the dominant motivator for beach-based risky driving was a perceived lower level of social judgment for the risky behaviours on the beach (a perception others were not concerned about risky behaviours). Preliminary findings of this study suggest that SAT could be a useful theory for understanding risky driving in distinct environments, such as beaches. SAT emphasises the interaction of personal characteristics (e.g., morals and self-control), with situational pressures (e.g., peers) and deterrents (e.g., risks). Nevertheless, factors associated with high risk driving behaviours displayed variation between beach and road contexts. Incorporating qualitative research methods might offer a more in-depth understanding of the decision-making processes underlying these risky behaviours.

Improved industrial induction time-based technique for evaluating kinetic hydrate inhibitors

Published: May 2024

Kinetic hydrate inhibitor laboratory testing before field application is one of the key priorities in the oil and gas industry. The common induction-time-based technique is often used to evaluate and screen for kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs). However, the main challenge relates to the stochastic nature of hydrate nucleation observed in fresh systems, which often results in scattered data on hydrate formation with unacceptable uncertainties. A much more precise KHI evaluation method, called crystal growth inhibition (CGI), provides comprehensive insights into the inhibitory behavior of a kinetic hydrate inhibitor, including both hydrate formation and decomposition. Given that industry does not require this much information, it is not feasible to expend either much time or cash on this strategy. This study aims to provide a cost-effective technique that presents maximum data accuracy and precision with relatively little time and cost expenditure. Hence, the impact of water-hydrate memory on improving the accuracy and repeatability of the results of the induction-time-based technique (IT method) was examined. First, the concept of water-hydrate memory, which contains information about how it is created, was reviewed, and then, the factors influencing it were identified and experimentally investigated, like the heating rate of hydrate dissociation and the water-hydrate memory target temperature during heating. Finally, a procedure was developed based on the background information in the earlier sections to compare the consistency of the results, originating from the conjunction of water-hydrate memory with the IT technique. The results of replications at KHI evaluation target temperatures of 12.3–12.4°C and 11.5–11.7°C showed that more repeatable data were obtained by applying water-hydrate memory, and a more conclusive decision was made in evaluating KHI performance than with an IT method. It seems that combining the IT method with water-hydrate memory, introduced as the “HME method”, can lead to more definitive evaluations of KHIs. This approach is expected to gain in popularity, even surpassing the accurate but complex and time-consuming CGI method.

Published: May 2024

Objective

The effect of atrial fibrillation (AF) patterns on outcomes remains controversial. This study aims to evaluate the influence of AF type on the risk of cardiocerebrovascular events after left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) at long-term follow-up.

Methods

AF was categorized as paroxysmal AF (PAF) and non-PAF (NPAF). The baseline characteristics, procedural data, peri-procedural complications, and long-term outcomes between patients with PAF and NPAF after LAAC were compared.

Results

We analyzed 410 AF patients (mean age 74.8 ± 8.2 years; 271 male; 144 with PAF, 266 NPAF). The NPAF group tended to be older (≥75 years), male, and have chronic kidney disease (CKD) compared with the PAF group. The procedural data and peri-procedural complications were comparable. During 2.2 ± 1.5 years of follow-up, the incidences of thromboembolism, major bleeding, and device-related thrombus (DRT) did not differ between the two groups. The observed risk of thromboembolism and major bleeding was significantly lower than the estimated risk based on the CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED scores, respectively, in patients who underwent LAAC, regardless of the AF type. NPAF patients were associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality, non-cardiovascular mortality, and combined efficacy endpoints. This association disappeared after propensity score matching (PSM) analysis.

Conclusions

The risk of thromboembolism and major bleeding was lower in patients who underwent LAAC, regardless of the AF type. Although NPAF often coexists with multiple risk factors, it was not associated with worse long-term outcomes after LAAC when compared with PAF.

This paper details the comprehensive design and prototyping of a 3D-printed wearable device tailored for mouse models which addresses the need for non-invasive applications in spinal cord studies and therapeutic treatments. Our work was prompted by the increasing demand for wearable devices in preclinical research on freely behaving rodent models of spinal cord injury. We present an innovative solution that employs compliant 3D-printed structures for stable device placement on the backs of both healthy and spinal cord-injured mice. In our trial, the device was represented by two magnets that applied passive magnetic stimulation to the injury site. This device was designed to be combined with the use of magnetic nanoparticles to render neurons or neural cells sensitive to an exogenous magnetic field, resulting in the stimulation of axon growth in response to a pulling force. We show different design iterations, emphasizing the challenges faced and the solutions proposed during the design process. The iterative design process involved multiple phases, from the magnet holder (MH) to the wearable device configurations. The latter included different approaches: a “Fitbit”, “Belt”, “Bib”, and ultimately a “Cape”. Each design iteration was accompanied by a testing protocol involving healthy and injured mice, with qualitative assessments focusing on animal wellbeing. Follow-up lasted for at least 21 consecutive days, thus allowing animal welfare to be accurately monitored. The final Cape design was our best compromise between the need for a thin structure that would not hinder movement and the resistance required to maintain the structure at the correct position while withstanding biting and mechanical stress. The detailed account of the iterative design process and testing procedures provides valuable insights for researchers and practitioners engaged in the development of wearable devices for mice, particularly in the context of spinal cord studies and therapeutic treatments. Finally, in addition to describing the design of a 3D-printed wearable holder, we also outline some general guidelines for the design of wearable devices.
