Assessment of Technology Readiness in Norwegian Older Adults With Long-Term Health Conditions Receiving Home Care Services: Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study
Authors: Bergh Sverre , Benth Jūratė Šaltytė , Høgset Lisbeth Dyrendal , Rydjord Britt , Kayser Lars
Published: February 2025

Background

With the increasing number of older adults globally, there is a constant search for new ways to organize health care services. Digital health services are promising and may reduce workload and at the same time improve patient well-being. A certain level of eHealth literacy is needed to be able to use digital health services. However, knowledge of technology readiness in this target group of older adults is unclear.

Objective

The aim of this study was to understand the technology readiness level of a group of older adults who were provided home care services in order to address the present and future needs of this group in relation to the implementation of digital health care services.

Methods

This quantitative cross-sectional study included 149 older adults from Norway receiving home care services. The participants completed the Readiness and Enablement Index for Health Technology (READHY) instrument, assessments of well-being (World Health Organization-Five Well-Being Index [WHO-5]), and assessments of demographic and clinical variables (sex, age, education, living situation, comorbidity, use of digital devices, and use of IT). Cluster analyses were used to group the users according to their technology readiness.

Results

The mean participant age was 78.6 (SD 8.0) years, and 55.7% (83/149) were women. There was good consistency within the assumed READHY scales (Cronbach α=.61-.91). The participants were grouped into 4 clusters, which differed in terms of READHY scores, demographic variables, and the use of IT in daily life. Participants in cluster 1 (n=40) had the highest scores on the READHY scales, were younger, had a larger proportion of men, had higher education, and had better access to digital devices and IT. Participants in cluster 4 (n=16) scored the lowest on eHealth literacy knowledge. Participants in cluster 1 had relatively high levels of eHealth literacy knowledge and were expected to benefit from digital health services, while participants in cluster 4 had the lowest level of eHealth literacy and would not easily be able to start using digital health services.

Conclusions

The technology readiness level varied in our cohort of Norwegian participants receiving home care. Not all elderly people have the eHealth literacy to fully benefit from digital health services. Participants in cluster 4 (n=16) had the lowest scores in the eHealth Literacy Questionnaire scales in the READHY instrument and should be offered nondigital services or would need extensive management support. The demographic differences between the 4 clusters may inform stakeholders about which older people need the most training and support to take advantage of digital health care services.
ChatGPT for Univariate Statistics: Validation of AI-Assisted Data Analysis in Healthcare Research
Authors: Ruta Michael R , Gaidici Tony , Irwin Chase , Lifshitz Jonathan
Published: February 2025

Background

ChatGPT, a conversational artificial intelligence developed by OpenAI, has rapidly become an invaluable tool for researchers. With the recent integration of Python code interpretation into the ChatGPT environment, there has been a significant increase in the potential utility of ChatGPT as a research tool, particularly in terms of data analysis applications.

Objective

This study aimed to assess ChatGPT as a data analysis tool and provide researchers with a framework for applying ChatGPT to data management tasks, descriptive statistics, and inferential statistics.

Methods

A subset of the National Inpatient Sample was extracted. Data analysis trials were divided into data processing, categorization, and tabulation, as well as descriptive and inferential statistics. For data processing, categorization, and tabulation assessments, ChatGPT was prompted to reclassify variables, subset variables, and present data, respectively. Descriptive statistics assessments included mean, SD, median, and IQR calculations. Inferential statistics assessments were conducted at varying levels of prompt specificity (“Basic,” “Intermediate,” and “Advanced”). Specific tests included chi-square, Pearson correlation, independent 2-sample t test, 1-way ANOVA, Fisher exact, Spearman correlation, Mann-Whitney U test, and Kruskal-Wallis H test. Outcomes from consecutive prompt-based trials were assessed against expected statistical values calculated in Python (Python Software Foundation), SAS (SAS Institute), and RStudio (Posit PBC).

Results

ChatGPT accurately performed data processing, categorization, and tabulation across all trials. For descriptive statistics, it provided accurate means, SDs, medians, and IQRs across all trials. Inferential statistics accuracy against expected statistical values varied with prompt specificity: 32.5% accuracy for “Basic” prompts, 81.3% for “Intermediate” prompts, and 92.5% for “Advanced” prompts.

Conclusions

ChatGPT shows promise as a tool for exploratory data analysis, particularly for researchers with some statistical knowledge and limited programming expertise. However, its application requires careful prompt construction and human oversight to ensure accuracy. As a supplementary tool, ChatGPT can enhance data analysis efficiency and broaden research accessibility.
AI and the Commodification of Health Data: Examining Participants' Perceptions of Data as an Economic Asset in Health Tech Ecosystems (Preprint)
Authors: Al Qwaid Marran
Published: February 2025

UNSTRUCTURED

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare service delivery through predictive analytics, precision medicine, and enhanced diagnostics, yet the commodification of health data presents complex ethical and social challenges. This study explores perceptions of health data commodification within AI-driven healthcare systems, focusing on Saudi Arabia's rapidly evolving digital healthcare landscape. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study surveyed and conducted in-depth interviews with 42 patients, 8 healthcare professionals, 3 insurance representatives, and 4 AI experts across themes of data privacy, perceived benefits of AI and perspectives on data commodification. Findings reveal that 61.90% patients view health data as a personal property, while 59.50% feel a lack of control over how their data is used. A deep trust deficit was evident, with 50% expressing low trust in AI systems to protect their privacy, especially among the older cohorts. However, financial incentivization strongly influenced willingness to share data, with 81% agreeing to share data if compensation is provided. Additionally, 64.30% agreed that healthcare providers should sell anonymized data to tech companies, provided safeguards are in place. These insights underscore the need for robust regulatory frameworks prioritizing informed consent, transparency, and ethical governance. The study emphasizes patient-centric policies, equitable compensation models, enhanced training and awareness programmes, and inclusive practices to build trust and ensure responsible AI deployment. By addressing these challenges, policymakers can align innovation with equity, privacy, and ethical healthcare delivery principles.
Comparative evaluation of jaw bone density in chronic areca nut chewers and non chewers using orthopantomogram indices as screening tool for osteoporosis (Preprint)
Authors: Tiwari Aakanksha , Dangore-khasbage Suwarna
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Jaw bone density can be altered due to various factors including ageing, pathologies of bone, hormonal levels, medications affecting bone densities, undue stress posed by parafunctional and adverse habits etc. Out of these factors, chronic areca nut chewing is commonly encountered adverse habit in patients which creates heavy load on jaw bones. Orthopantomogram (OPG) indices are easy and cost-effective method for evaluation of jaw bone density. Values of indices can also be used as screening tool for osteoporosis.

OBJECTIVE

To compare and evaluate jaw bone density in chronic areca nut chewers and non chewers using orthopantomogram indices as screening tool for osteoporosis

METHODS

Patients reporting to Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology in age range of 20-40 years, with and without history of chronic areca nut chewing will be recruited in the study. Orthopantomogram will be taken for all recruited patients. Mandibular cortical index (MCI), panoramic mandibular index (PMI), gonial index (GI), antegonial index (AI), antegoinal notch depth (AND) and mental index (MI) will be calculated.

RESULTS

Values of these indices will be used to assess and compare osteoporosis in chronic areca nut chewers and non-chewers. Data will be entered and displayed in a tabular format and results will be correlated for status of osteoporosis based on values of OPG indices.

CONCLUSIONS

Evaluation of jaw bone density in chronic areca nut chewers using OPG indices might prove to be a feasible and cost-effective technique for assessing osteoporotic bone changes. Though gold standard modlity is dual x ray absorptiometry (DXA), its cost and availability creates challenges for its use in common population. As osteoporosis of jaw bones do not present with symptoms usually, patient can be made aware of it using the finding of this evaluation. Hence, it will ultimately aid in early detection, prompt intervention therby halting the progress of the disease.

CLINICALTRIAL

As it is an observational study and no intervention is being done, it has not been registred in clinical trial registry

New data on distribution and harmfulness of soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines) in Amur region
Authors:   All-Russian Research Institute of Soybean, Kuzmin Alexander A. , Anisimov Nikolay S. ,   All-Russian Research Institute of Soybean
Published: February 2025

During 2019–2023, studies on the resistance of soybean plants to soy cyst-forming nematode (Heterodera glycines) were conducted. Several experiments were carried out using
the vegetative pots method. When comparing the reaction of All-Russian Research Institute of
Soybean breeding cultivars to infection with soybean cyst nematode, it was found that the most
resistant cultivars were Sentyabrinka and Evgeniya. When soybean plants of Sentyabrinka cultivar
were infected from one to three times during the growing season, it was noted that repeated infection, which occurred in the same way in the fields, provided that the pest was washed away by rainwater from elevations into drainless relief depressions, led to a higher concentration of Heterodera
glycines and the greatest yield losses. A study of the reaction of Sentyabrinka cultivar to a once
infection in different stages of the growing season showed that infection during sowing was more
harmful than during the flowering and pod formation phases. The reaction of Sentyabrinka cultivar
to infection with soybean cyst nematode from different populations was also compared. Heterodera glycines cysts from Amur region and Primorsky krai were used. The experiment showed that
the harmfulness of the soybean cyst nematode from Primorsky krai was greater. When studying the
influence of soil type on the degree of soybean resistance to soybean nematode infection, meadow
chernozem-like and brown forest soils of Amur region were used. It was found that when soybeans
were sown in less fertile brown forest soil, the impact of the pest was more harmful; the difference
in yield when sown in once infected soil and when sown in pest-free meadow chernozem-like soil
turned out to be insignificant.

The birch mushroom feed additive (chaga) in the dose of 20; 40 and 60 mg/kg of
live weight of broiler chickens applied in the form of 5.0% decoction per daily rate of compound
feed with subsequent drying to the initial moisture content was studied. It was found that of all the dosages, the optimal was the input rate of 20 mg, which during the growth period of the bird
contributed to an increase in the digestibility of crude protein by 4.05% at the age of three weeks
of broilers, by 3.17% at five weeks; crude fat by 1.92 and 4.15%, respectively. The calculation of
the deposition of nitrogenous substances of the feed in the bird's body showed that in this group of
broilers their retention was higher by 5.1–16.1%; with an increase in the rate of the feed additive,
the use of nitrogen in the bird's body was lower. It has been proven that the studied dosages did
not have a negative effect on the digestibility of crude fiber and the BEF group in the poultry body.
It has been established that the live weight of broiler chickens in the group with a low dosage of
birch fungus exceeded the control group by 5.0%, with an average input rate – by 3.4%, with a
high one – by 1.5%. The positive effect of a low dosage of the feed additive on improving the meat
qualities of the carcass of broiler chickens has been substantiated. An analysis of the economic
assessment of broiler chicken rearing has been conducted, which allowed us to conclude that the
chaga input rate of 20 mg increased the payment for feed in products by 4.9%, production profitability increased by 2.4%, feed costs decreased by 4.7%, while in other experimental groups the
difference was less pronounced.

Published: February 2025

Orang Asli (aboriginal people) in Malaysia are seen as marginalised, poor and without any proper education, and the Batek Hep of Taman Negara is not an exception. The Batek Hep is one of the eighteen tribes of aboriginal people of Malaysia and is from the Negrito subgroup. They are hunter-gatherers and foragers of forest produce. Batek is also considered an egalitarian society and dwells mostly along the main river in Taman Negara, Pahang as well as its tributaries. The paper intends to look at the changes that have taken place in the Batek society over the decade. The study is located in Taman Negara Pahang, and the focus is on education and culture. This paper uses the qualitative approach, and the data are taken from field observation notes, video recordings, semi-structured and informal interviews, as well as document analysis from previous research. The data collection period was from 2011- 2021, with visits to eight villages located in Taman Negara. Field observation notes and video recordings were taken during visits to the villages, and the interviews were conducted with the heads of villages, an adult woman, and young males. Over the ten years (2011-2021), it was found that the approach to education among the Batek has slowly changed, modernisation has influenced the younger generation but not the elders, the semi-nomadic lifestyle has changed, but the cultural values have been preserved. The paper ends with suggestions for the future direction of Batek Hep to elevate themselves from its current economic situation.
MAPPING MIGRANTS’ BUSINESSES IN THE KLANG VALLEY FROM FACEBOOK COMMENTS
Authors: Yaheya Farhana Izzati , Subramaniam Thirunaukarasu
Published: February 2025

This paper focuses on public opinion towards migrant businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Opening a business in Malaysia involves fulfilling various requirements, including high capital for foreign-owned companies’ registration. However, it was observed that several migrant workers who transformed into entrepreneurs were operating small to medium-sized businesses openly nationwide despite various restrictions; some are informal businesses, and some are legitimate businesses run under local owner’s registration. Comments posted on the Facebook pages of two (2) enforcement agencies and six (6) city councils related to the governance of migrants or businesses in Malaysia were observed, collected and analysed to create a mapping of migrants’ entrepreneurship through netnography. An observational study was conducted to thematically analyse Facebook comments which mentioned locations of migrants’ businesses in the attempts to answer the research question of `Where are the main locations of migrant businesses in the Klang Valley?’. Business premises in the Klang Valley were mainly observed in the outskirt areas of the city centre, particularly in Klang, Shah Alam, and Sungai Buloh. Other states such as Johor, Penang, and Sabah were observed to have many migrants’ businesses due to the high number of economic activities. Popular ethnic enclaves in the Klang Valley, such as Chow Kit and Petaling Street, were not mentioned as much as Klang District. This pattern showed the emergence of new ethnic enclaves in suburban areas. Active participation between authorities should be prioritised to solve the root cause of the issues, such as the demarcation and governance issues between city councils and other enforcement agencies.

Published: February 2025

Seagrass-gleaning fisheries are vital small-scale fisheries that significantly contribute to coastal livelihoods. Despite their significance, these fisheries are often overlooked in coastal management planning. This study investigates the seagrass-gleaning fisheries of the Kampung Perigi Acheh community in the Sungai Johor estuary, focusing on the activities, products, and implications of this fishery for local livelihoods. Ethnographic methods, including participatory mapping and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), were employed to identify six gleaning sites where fish, crabs, sea cucumbers, carpet anemones, seaweed, and shellfish are harvested. Gleaning methods encompass walking, swimming, and tool-based practices like the sagang and kilah techniques. While both men and women engage in gleaning, women play a vital role in sustenance, recreation, and cultural identity, strengthening community bonds and reflecting distinct gender roles. We recommend empowering communities in decision-making processes by enhancing the understanding of seagrass-gleaning fisheries, which is essential for safeguarding the sustainable livelihoods of coastal communities.

Authors: Lestari Wahyu , Andira Agustina Ayu , - Hartono
Published: February 2025

The researcher developed the Seguyub Lasem Dance (SLD) practice videos to increase students’ interest in dance learning and help teachers inculcate the Profil Pelajar Pancasila (P3) character or moral education in students of junior high schools. Agustina Ayu Andira created simple dance steps to present the multicultural society of Lasem (a sub-district in Rembang Regency) which has non-Muslims (including Buddhists and Hindus) and Muslim communities. The videos were uploaded to the YouTube website using the Agustina Ayu Andira channel. After showing the students, the SLD videos, the researcher tested the effectiveness of the dance videos on students’ moral and ethical understanding through the simple dance steps. In this regard, 162 students from five junior high schools in the Rembang Regency filled out an online questionnaire. The data gathered through the questionnaire was analysed with the help of Dick and Cary’s (1978) ADDIE model comprised of five research stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The dance video was tested for validity and reliability on a small scale to 32 SMP Negeri 1 Lasem students and tested on a large scale to 123 students in four schools. Students were asked to take part in learning using the SLD learning media, and scores were taken from the summative test. Student scores were first tested for normality using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov technique. The SLD’s effectiveness was tested using the One Sample T-Test test formula. Based on the study’s results, the researcher provides suggestions to dance educators so that dance learning media can be utilised in dance practice learning to increase students’ interest in dance practice learning, especially for male junior high school students.
PERFORMING LOCALISED HYBRIDITY IN THE 1960s MALAYSIAN POP YEH YEH
Authors: M. Ng Jocelyn , Manoharan Pravina , Tan Sooi Beng
Published: February 2025

The term ‘Pop Yeh Yeh’ refers to the genre of Malay popular music that emerged in the 1960s in Malaysia and Singapore. Notably influenced by Western pop groups of the era, such as The Beatles, The Shadows and The Rolling Stones from the United Kingdom (UK), the genre is characteristically known for its kugiran (an upbeat guitar band). The kugiran consists of three guitars and a drum set that mirrors the configuration used by Western bands of the time. However, musicians of the Pop Yeh Yeh genre were often criticised by veteran musicians as amateurs who lacked proper musical training, and producing poor-quality songs. This article shows that despite sharing many similarities with the music of popular bands in the 1960s UK, local musicians the likes of M. Osman & The Mods, as well as A. Rahman Hassan & Orkes Nirwana, were inspired to localise and make the Pop Yeh Yeh genre their own. Markedly, in integrating Malay asli (Malay dance music with ornamented melodies) vocal styles, the Malay language and lyrics about the Malaysian way of life with Western surf rock rhythms, vocal harmonies and musical forms. Likewise, the Malaysian fashion sense and images symbolic of Malaysia were also deliberately used on album covers. Therefore, this article demonstrates how these musicians used regional aesthetics of hybridity through which Malay elements are combined with Western and other elements in their attempt to localise the Pop Yeh Yeh genre. The results are collated from three different research methods. These include analysing the music of local musicians recorded on 45 rpm vinyl records, obtaining information from Malay entertainment magazines from the 1960s through the 1980s, and conducting interviews with people in the music industry.

Published: February 2025

The narrative regarding Maxwell Hill during the era of colonialism highlights the popular tourist destinations among the European community who lived temporarily in Malaya from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century. Advantages in terms of cool climate, scenic beauty, and availability of complete facilities and infrastructure have been the source of attraction in Maxwell Hill and indirectly contributed to the increase in the number of tourists from Europe. This article will explore the history of Maxwell Hill as a tourist destination and focus on the factors that make it so attractive to the European society of that era. This method uses historical qualitative methods to analyse primary sources such as records, government documents, and newspapers. Secondary sources are also used as support sources, namely the use of internet access methods to obtain resources in the form of e-books, and journal articles; quantitative methods are also used to analyse the data. This paper uses a descriptive analysis approach to describe the role of Maxwell Hill as a tourist destination for the European community from the end of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century. The results of this study found several other features such as natural attractions, European-style accommodation, the aesthetic value of the rose garden and stunning panoramic views, infrastructure facilities, which attracted visitors to Maxwell Hill before the Second World War, as well as the ease of interaction and culture. These were additional factors, apart from the accommodation facilities which were over-highlighted in previous studies. Overall, Maxwell Hill, until the mid-20th century, was indeed one of the hill stations with high popularity due to its unique features. The implications of this study may encourage management to re-evaluate the unique features available at this hill station to ensure sustainable development and preserve the inherited historical value.
O papel do soft power da Disney na disseminação da cultura norte-americana no Brasil durante a 2ª Guerra Mundial
Authors:   , Cassoni Laura Garcia
Published: February 2025

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar o papel do soft power exercido pela Walt Disney Company na disseminação da cultura norte-americana no Brasil durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. A pesquisa adota a teoria construtivista das Relações Internacionais para compreender como as produções culturais da Disney foram utilizadas como ferramenta diplomática no fortalecimento da hegemonia dos Estados Unidos no contexto da política de "Boa Vizinhança". Além disso, explora o conceito de indústria cultural para discutir a os estereótipos da cultura brasileira no filme “Alô, Amigos” (1942), destacando como essas representações serviram aos interesses políticos norte-americanos. Os resultados indicam que o filme atuou como um veículo estratégico de propaganda, promovendo narrativas de amizade e solidariedade entre Brasil e Estados Unidos, enquanto reforçava dinâmicas de poder desiguais. Apesar de sua eficácia como ferramenta diplomática, o filme perpetua uma visão estereotipada da cultura brasileira, priorizando elementos que atendiam aos objetivos norte-americanos. Assim, a pesquisa conclui que o soft power da Disney é um instrumento poderoso na diplomacia cultural americana, capaz de moldar percepções e fortalecer a presença dos Estados Unidos no imaginário coletivo global.
Uma análise da política externa brasileira para a Amazônia: os investimentos da Noruega e Alemanha no fundo Amazônia
Authors:   , Rebeca Ojeda Domingos
Published: February 2025

Com o avanço das conferências ambientais internacionais, o Brasil tem se destacado como líder nas questões ambientais, moldando sua política externa em torno desse tema. Em 2008, foi criado o Fundo Amazônia, com o objetivo de receber doações financeiras para combater o desmatamento, reduzir as emissões de gases de efeito estufa e promover o uso sustentável da Amazônia Legal. Atualmente, seus maiores contribuintes são a Noruega, a Alemanha e a Petrobras. A partir de um levantamento sobre o Fundo, este estudo busca analisar as influências dos principais doadores, que, embora defendam a preservação ambiental, controlam algumas das maiores empresas petrolíferas, de carvão e de minério de ferro do mundo. O trabalho examina como essas influências se refletem nas políticas brasileiras e na dualidade do discurso entre a política interna e externa. Além disso, explora a construção e preservação da soberania nacional e investiga a participação das comunidades locais nos projetos financiados pelo Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (BNDES), responsável por iniciativas voltadas à conservação das florestas, ao monitoramento ambiental e à recuperação de áreas desmatadas. Ao final, o objetivo é compreender como o Brasil pode desenvolver sua política externa por meio do Fundo Amazônia, preservando sua soberania, e identificar medidas que possam tornar suas ações mais eficazes e coesas.
Exploring the interplay between leadership styles, employee voice behavior, and job satisfaction: A scoping review

Published: February 2025

This scoping review examines the relationships between various leadership styles, employee voice behavior, and job satisfaction by systematically synthesizing existing quantitative studies. Utilizing preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines process and Arksey and O’Malley’s (2005) analytical framework, Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), Web of Science (WoS), JSTOR, and Scopus databases were systematically searched for relevant research up to October 2024. Extensive research resulted in the inclusion of 10 eligible scientific works. The analysis integrates theoretical frameworks such as resource conservation and social exchange theories, revealing that ethical and transformational leadership significantly influence employee voice and job satisfaction. These effects are mediated by employee behavior and satisfaction and moderated by cultural context and individual performance (Ilyas et al., 2021; Detert & Burris, 2007). Findings highlight the critical role of contextual and individual factors in the effectiveness of leadership practices, advocating for tailored leadership approaches that consider cultural specificities and employee resources. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies and more diverse samples to enhance the generalizability of these insights.

Published: February 2025

This research examined the properties of a nano web created using the
electrospinning technique, incorporating Halloysite clay nanotubes. The main
focus was to understand how different vibration speed affected the
characteristics of the nano web. By utilizing FESEM and elemental mapping,
it was confirmed that the Halloysite clay nanotubes were present and
provided valuable insights into the structure of the samples. The results
regarding electrical conductivity were remarkable, showing that the treated
specimens had higher crease recovery properties compared to the untreated
ones(more than 24%), thanks to the presence of Halloysite clay nanotubes and
the different vibration speed applied. In addition, the samples showed
improved UV blocking capabilities up to about 75%, as well as exceptional
strength (~33%) and resistance to abrasion (~93%). Overall, the
nanocomposite webs exhibited promising qualities that could have
applications in various industries.

Insulin regulates glucose uptake and metabolism in muscle via the insulin receptor. Here we show that Lrtm1 (Leucine Rich Repeats and Transmembrane Domains 1), a protein of unknown function enriched in insulin-responsive metabolic tissues, senses changes in insulin signaling in muscle and serves as a regulator of metabolic response. Thus, whole-body Lrtm1 deficient mice exhibit a reduced the percentage of fat mass, increased percentage of lean mass, and enhanced glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity compared to control mice, under both chow and high fat diet conditions. Lrtm1 whole-body deficiency also affects dopamine signaling in the brain leading to hyperactivity. The improvements in glucose and insulin tolerance, but not the behavioral or body composition changes, are also observed in skeletal muscle-specific Lrtm1 knockout mice. These effects occur with no change in classical insulin receptor-Akt signaling Thus, Lrtm1 senses changes in insulin receptor signaling and serves as a novel post-receptor regulator of metabolic and behavioral activity.
