Epistolary skill and discourse management: the use of metapragmatic utterances in 18th-century Scottish letters
Authors: Elsweiler Christine
Published: December 2024

Studies using present-day English data have demonstrated that speakers and writers show reflexive awareness of their own language use by employing metapragmatic comments to monitor and organise their discourse. This study explores to what extent this also applies to historical data and therefore investigates the use of metapragmatic utterances for discourse management purposes in 18th-century Scottish letters. It establishes the different types of metapragmatic utterances attested in the correspondence data and, moreover, assesses the influence of the letter-writers’ epistolary skills on the use of such utterances. The study finds that 18th-century writers applied metapragmatic utterances, mostly realised as set strategies, to prevent misunderstandings by clarifying and structuring their own discourse for the addressees and by judging the appropriateness of their own communicative acts. The findings further indicate that writers were aware of the conventional requirement to employ such metapragmatic utterances irrespective of their level of epistolary skill.

„Es ist eine Sprachbarriere.“
Authors: Jeltsch Claudia
Published: December 2024

Im Beitrag wird der Zusammenhang von Identität und Sprache anhand von Aussagen untersucht, die 31 Personen in Interviews über ihre sprachliche Identität und das Thema Heimat getätigt haben. Allen befragten Personen ist gemeinsam, dass sie aus Familien stammen, deren einer Elternteil Finnisch und deren anderer Elternteil Deutsch als Muttersprache hat. Nach der Einführung folgt ein Abschnitt über den Forschungsstand zum Thema sprachliche Identität im Zusammenhang mit Migration, danach ein Abschnitt über die Datenerhebung und Analysemethode. Die Analyse erfolgt mit der Methode der qualitativen Einstellungsanalyse, die international vor allem in der Tradition von Goffmanns Frame analysis sowie den Forschungsarbeiten von Billigs und Kärkkäinens Stance/stand taking steht. Zentrale Forschungsfragen sind, wie sich die Interviewten zu ihren Sprachen positionieren, welche Begründungen sie dafür liefern, mit welchen Einschränkungen. Eines der zentralen Ergebnisse ist, dass eine selbstzugeschriebene finnische Identität nicht unbedingt finnische Sprachkenntnisse erfordert, jedoch um so wahrscheinlicher ist, desto bessere Finnischkenntnisse vorliegen. Subjektiv fehlende Finnischkenntnisse erschweren es den Befragten, sich selbstbewusst eine finnische Identität zuzuschreiben. Grund dafür könnten die Konzepte einer idealisierten Muttersprache und eines idealisierten Native speaker sein. Einige der Befragten verwenden große Mühe und viel Energie in das Projekt, Finnischkenntnisse zu erwerben.
Formulae, gender and writing experience in Renaissance Florence
Authors: Serra Eleonora
Published: December 2024

With private letters having become a genre of choice in historical sociolinguistics, epistolary formulae have attracted increasing attention. Cross-linguistically, studies showing that women letter-writers relied heavily on formulae have hypothesised that formulae served primarily as aids for little experienced writers. However, other studies have shown that formulae could perform different functions, related to group practices and self-representation. I investigate this issue in the context of sixteenth-century Florence, where letter-writing was becoming increasingly codified. Drawing on little-known archival material and focusing on the epistolary closing, this article tracks the use of formulae across the private letters of three women from subsequent generations of one family, the Ricasoli, and compares it to the use of their brothers. These three women differed markedly in their degree of writing experience, in keeping with the increase in female literacy that was affecting the patriciate. The results show that the woman of the last generation used more formulae, suggesting that these items functioned more as social conventions than formulation aids. The comparison with men’s letters further suggests that different models were available to women and men, and that upper-class women might have been more receptive to the new epistolary model that was promoted in those years.

Published: December 2024

Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) are used in nutrition service delivery and realizing Universal Health Coverage. Nevertheless, poor nutrition outcomes still exist in households under the care of CHVs, resulting in high rates of malnutrition and deaths. Guided by the Health Belief Model (HBM) the researcher established the relationship between the service delivery of CHVs and the nutrition outcomes of households with children aged 6-59 months in Alego Usonga Sub-County, Siaya County, Kenya. A cross-sectional study design was used.  The sample size was determined using Krejcie and Morgan's formula to arrive at 353 participants. The researcher then used purposive, multi-stage, and systematic sampling strategies to reach the participants. Data was collected using structured questionnaires. The target population was households with children 6-59 months in Alego Usonga, Siaya County. SPSS software was used to analyze data, after that, the relationships were tested using Fisher’s Exact Test. Results: significant association between frequency of household visitation by CHVs and MDD, growth monitoring and promotion clinic attendance, deworming in the past six months, and availability of kitchen gardens in the households (p-values<0.05, FET); significant association between referral for immunization and FIC at 11 months (p-value 0.022, FET), referral for growth monitoring and promotion, and the number of children attending growth monitoring and promotion clinics (p-value 0.002, FET); significant association between counseling on complementary feeding and other foods consumed by children 6-23 months other than breast milk (p-value 0.047, FET), counseling on complementary feeding and MDD and MMF (p-values 0.014 & 0.003, respectively, FET), counseling on growth monitoring and promotion and attendance of growth monitoring and promotion clinics (p-value 0.001, FET), and counseling on the importance of kitchen garden and availability of kitchen gardens in the households (p-value 0.000, FET). Therefore, a significant relationship exists between household visitations, referrals, follow-ups, and counseling services conducted by CHVs, and the nutrition outcomes of households with children aged 6-59 months. Following these findings, the researcher recommends that the government continue supporting the CHVs by providing timely motivation and adequate resources. However, other experimental study designs with stronger statistical significance should be deployed to directly evaluate the CHVs’ service delivery and nutrition outcomes at the household level.

TRANSPORTE INTER-HOSPITALAR NEONATAL: DESAFIOS E FATORES QUE IMPACTAM A SEGURANÇA DO PACIENTE - UMA REVISÃO BIBLIOGRÁFICA
Authors: Mata Ticiana Alves da , Nobre Luciana Lemos
Published: December 2024

O transporte inter-hospitalar neonatal é um processo complexo e essencial para garantir a sobrevivência e a qualidade de vida do recém-nascido crítico. Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar os fatores que comprometem a segurança do transporte inter-hospitalar de neonatos, com ênfase na importância dos cuidados prévios na unidade de origem. A justificativa do estudo reside na necessidade de aprimorar protocolos e treinamentos, minimizando riscos de agravos e assegurando uma transferência segura. A metodologia utilizada foi uma revisão sistemática da literatura, com buscas realizadas nas bases de dados PubMed, SciELO, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e Google Acadêmico, cobrindo o período de 2018 a 2023. Foram utilizados descritores como “transporte do neonato crítico”, “agravos” e “cuidados pré-transporte”, aplicando critérios rigorosos de inclusão e exclusão. As evidências apontam que falhas nos cuidados prévios ao transporte, como a ausência de protocolos bem definidos e a insuficiência de recursos, estão diretamente associadas ao aumento de agravos clínicos, como instabilidade térmica e hemodinâmica. Dados recentes indicam que até 25% dos neonatos transportados apresentam complicações evitáveis durante o deslocamento. Para mitigar esses riscos, é fundamental que as equipes do hospital de origem estejam preparadas por meio de protocolos claros, treinamentos regulares e disponibilização de equipamentos adequados para estabilizar o recém-nascido antes da transferência. Como resultado esperado, espera-se contribuir para a elaboração de práticas baseadas em evidências que reforcem a segurança e a qualidade do transporte inter-hospitalar neonatal, reduzindo morbimortalidade e promovendo melhores desfechos para os neonatos críticos.

Published: December 2024

A emissão de vapores inflamáveis derivados dos aditivos a base de óleo são um risco recorrente no processo de produção produtos de borracha. Somado a este fato, há ainda o risco atrelado à saúde do trabalhador do setor. No entanto, alguns óleos podem ser alternativas de substituição uma vez avaliadas suas propriedades e mantida a qualidade do produto. Neste estudo foi avaliada a alteração do ponto de fulgor do óleo de processo utilizado na produção de compostos de borracha na Titan Pneus do Brasil, buscando reduzir emissões de fumos e aprimorar a segurança ocupacional e a performance do processo. Foram analisados dois óleos de diferentes pontos de fulgor. O estudo incluiu a caracterização dos óleos, fabricação dos compostos com ambos os óleos e testes para avaliação das propriedades físicas e reológicas. Os resultados demostraram que a mudança para um óleo com ponto de fulgor mais elevado aumentou a segurança do processo, reduzindo o risco de ignição de vapores sem comprometer as propriedades do composto, mantendo-se dentro dos padrões de qualidade exigidos. Entretanto, apesar de não ter sido observada a redução de emissões de fumos esperada, as emissões se mantiveram dentro dos limites de segurança estabelecidos por normas internacionais.

Published: December 2024

Abstract. Accurately characterizing the vertical distribution of aerosols and their cloud-forming properties is crucial for understanding aerosol-cloud interactions and their impact on climate. This study presents a novel technique for retrieving vertical profiles of aerosols, cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), and ice nucleating particles (INPs) by combiningmicropulse lidar, radiosonde, and ground-based aerosol measurements. Herein, the technique is applied to data collected by our team at Texas A&M University during the Tracking Aerosol Convection Interactions ExpeRiment (TRACER) campaign. Aerosol size distribution and CCN counter data are used to estimate the value of the aerosol hygroscopicity parameter, κ. The derived κ, together with Mie scattering theory and the relative humidity profiles from the radiosonde, are then used to estimate how much the aerosols have grown at each altitude. This estimate is applied inversely to the aerosol backscatter coefficient profile to produce a dry aerosol backscatter coefficient profile. The dry aerosol backscatter coefficient profile is used to linearly scale surface measurements of aerosol, CCN, and INP concentrations. Combining lidar and ground-based aerosol measurements reduces the assumptions typically needed in lidar-based aerosol retrievals, resulting in a more accurate representation of vertical distributions of aerosol properties. The method could be readily applied to measurements in future field campaigns.
Assessing the Feasibility of Markerless Close Range Photogrammetry in Industrial Inspection: A Foundational Study
Authors: Prieto Ines , Puerto Pablo , Leizea Ibai , Herrera Imanol
Published: December 2024

Abstract. As large-volume metrology gains significance in industrial applications, ensuring high-accuracy measurements (±0.1 mm) with cost-effective and user-friendly technologies becomes increasingly challenging. This study evaluates the performance of Markerless Photogrammetry (MP) against industry standards such as Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM), Laser Trackers (LT), and Marker-based Photogrammetry (MbP) to identify the potential of MP in addressing industrial challenges. While CMM and LT offer high accuracy, their applicability is limited by the size of large workpieces and cost. MbP offers high work ranges, flexibility and ease of use, but it is restricted to sparse measurements and lacks the accuracy of traditional methods. Despite its lower accuracy, the results indicate that MP may present a viable solution for cases where cost-effectiveness and ease of use are crucial with the drawback of high computational cost.

Published: December 2024

Abstract. Knee arthroplasty benefits significantly from computer-assisted navigation, which improves the accuracy of prosthesis placement. However, current methods require invasive optical locators to track the position of the knee, which carries risks such as infection and prolonged healing times. To address these limitations, this work uses markerless trinocular SLAM to achieve accurate 3D reconstruction of the knee during surgery. The approach integrates SuperGlue for robust feature matching and incorporates segmentation to mask the knee, improving reconstruction accuracy despite challenges such as low-texture surfaces, reflections and spotlight illumination. The accuracy of the handheld trinocular camera system is evaluated under dynamic conditions, simulating camera movement during surgery to ensure accurate reconstruction during real-time surgery. In addition, a robot-guided dataset will be used to assess the repeatability and robustness of the SLAM approach. This research focuses on positional accuracy in motion and aims to advance real-time, non-invasive navigation solutions for knee arthroplasty, contributing to safer and more efficient surgical outcomes.

Published: December 2024

Abstract. The increasing demand for accurate 3D coordinate measures in industry, medicine and environmental sciences often comes with multiple constraints regarding the object distance, required accuracy and object signalization. While many systems are specialized in one domain, there are only few systems that operate in close-range applications with extremely high accuracy and are also capable of monitoring deformations at a distance of a few hundred meters. Therefore, a measurement system based on the astro-geodetic observation system QDaedalus is introduced using two combined image-assisted total stations (IATS) Leica NOVA TS60. By combining exact collimation, camera calibration and spatial intersection we show in several close-range experiments that our system is capable of measuring various kind of targets with a 3D point accuracy below 0.01 mm.
Using Hyperfocal Distance in Close-Range Photogrammetry for Indoor Modelling
Authors: Sommer Etienne , Koehl Mathieu , Grussenmeyer Pierre
Published: December 2024

Abstract. Photogrammetry has recently gained in popularity for surveying buildings and exterior structures, thanks in particular to the use of drones, terrestrial or aerial imagery, and other devices that allow quality images to be obtained with sufficient distance. These approaches are ideal for capturing exterior architectural details where space allows greater flexibility to take pictures. However, when it comes to indoor surveys, spatial constraints and limited distance make it difficult to acquire quality data. In confined spaces, control of depth of field becomes an essential parameter for obtaining sharp images, which are essential to generate accurate 3D models.In this context, the hyperfocal distance is used and demonstrated as an effective approach for optimizing terrestrial and indoor photogrammetry. Hyperfocal distance enables depth of field to be maximised without the need for frequent optical adjustments or changes in position during shooting. This technique is particularly advantageous in limited spaces where recoil is difficult to adjust, thus avoiding constant intervention on lens parameters and enabling it to be properly calibrated. Thanks to this approach, it is possible to obtain a homogeneous sharpness on each shot, for elements at different distances, enhancing the accuracy of the data and the quality of the 3D models generated.This method has been applied to the throne room at Trifels castle in Germany. By using the hyperfocal distance, complex details were captured on site, enabling optimized data processing afterward. The model obtained is compared with surveys carried out by laser scanners, both terrestrial and mobile, enabling to validate the accuracy and repeatability of this method in a heritage documentation and conservation context.Finally, the various potential applications for the obtained data are explored, depending on the final objectives, whether for analysis or for display and communication to the general public. This processing and optimisation stage is part of an approach to enhance the value of built heritage, making old architectural elements accessible and understandable, while ensuring faithful digital conservation.
A Global Image Orientation Method of the Self-Rotating Pan-Tilt-Zoom Camera for Photogrammetric Applications
Authors: Xiao Teng , Hu Qi , Kang Junhua , Zhang Qi , Ye Zhiwei , Deng Fei
Published: December 2024

Abstract. Pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras are widely used in surveillance systems due to their wide field of view and high resolutions. However, the lack of accurate orientation information limits their full utilization in photogrammetry. Therefore, for photogrammetric applications, the primary task for PTZ cameras is to achieve image orientation. Cameras mounted on gimbals can only self-rotate around the base, resulting in acquired images that are nearly purely rotated. Current conventional structure from motion (SfM) pipelines assume pixel parallax exists between matching correspondences and generate object points through 3D triangulation. Applying these methods to estimate the interior and exterior orientation parameters of images from a self-rotating PTZ camera is challenging. To address this issue, this paper employs the concept of global SfM and proposes an improved global image orientation method for the pure rotation motion of PTZ cameras. Initially, a subset of image pairs is selected for internal orientation, and the internal orientation parameters of the images are estimated. Subsequently, global external orientation is performed on all images to estimate their external orientation parameters. Finally, bundle adjustment of the collinearity equation without object points optimizes both the internal and external orientation parameters. Experiments on synthetic and real-scene datasets demonstrate the practicality and accuracy of this method. For synthetic datasets, the estimated focal length of our method deviates from the true value by within 1 pixel, and the mean location error of the principal points is 0.93 pixels. For real-scene datasets, the mean reprojection error of the checkpoints of our method is 2.72 pixels, with a maximum of 4.66 pixels. In contrast, Agisoft Metashape's mean reprojection error is 4.73 pixels, with a maximum reaching 8.06 pixels. This shows that our method can accurately determine the image orientation parameters of PTZ cameras and achieve higher accuracy compared to the popular commercial software Agisoft Metashape.

Published: December 2024

Abstract. This paper introduces a custom-built low-cost camera ring device designed for automatic cast synthesis, able to accurately and instantly scan body parts. The scanned mesh will be used as a backbone model for the cast design and 3D printing. The system is based on the multi-view active stereo principle and it is composed of a circular array of 16 synchronized cameras (Fig. 1) and 4 equally distributed IR pseudo-random laser pattern projectors. We employ a custom multi-view stereo reconstruction pipeline based on (Schönberger et al., 2016), which guarantees optimal results without the downsides of the supervised data-driven multi-view stereo algorithms, i.e. data collection and ground truth labeling. Additionally, inspired by (Duda and Frese, 2018), we propose a novel, automated calibration system to extract intrinsic and extrinsic camera parameters which are required to perform robust multi-view stereo reconstructions.
Eccentricity Correction Methods for Circular Targets in Perspective Projection
Authors: Liebold Frank , Maas Hans-Gerd
Published: December 2024

Abstract. In a perspective projection, a circular target appears as an ellipse for an oblique view. The ellipse center as a result of the image coordinate measurement differs from the projection of the circle center. This discrepancy is called eccentricity and may lead to systematic errors. This contribution discusses four different correction methods that can be applied on the observation or the model side. The last method includes the determination of the circle radius and thus also offers a possibility to define the scale. The correction procedures are applied in an experiment with high eccentricities where the remaining error is significantly reduced. In another experiment, the precision and accuracy of the scale definition is investigated.
Leveraging LiDAR Reflectance Images for Sparse Odometry

Published: December 2024

Abstract. Accurate odometry is essential for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), yet traditional methods relying on geometric features struggle in feature-poor environments such as tunnels. Our work addresses this issue by leveraging LiDAR reflectance data to develop a robust odometry technique. This approach generates reflectance images, extracts 3D keypoints, and employs an IMU-based outlier detection process eventually refined by RANSAC algorithm. Unlike geometry-based methods, our solution can operate in highly symmetrical environments, producing consistent trajectories even where geometric methods fail. Our evaluations highlight the capacity of our approach to maintain trajectory coherence in GNSS-denied and geometrically degenerate scenarios. This robustness underscores its potential for reliable navigation and mapping when traditional SLAM solutions are inadequate.
¿Es posible un encuentro fructífero entre Marx y Foucault?
Authors: Domínguez González David J. , Domínguez Sánchez-Pinilla Mario
Published: December 2024

El impacto generado por Vigilar y castigar no ha dejado de crecer desde su aparición en 1975. En este artículo se abordan las estrategias de investigación que subyacen a su análisis de la prisión, la cual pasó en poco tiempo de ser un elemento marginal de la penalidad a constituir la forma privilegiada de castigo. La hipótesis de Foucault es que su rápida aceptación por parte del sistema jurídico se debe a la generalización previa de las disciplinas esparcidas por todo el cuerpo social. El problema estriba en que una hipótesis como esta, pese a su evidente originalidad, alberga sin embargo un defecto constitutivo en el análisis propuesto, al no explicitar las precondiciones que hicieron posible dicho proceso. El propósito del artículo es identificarlas en el análisis de Marx en torno a la acumulación originaria. De esa manera, destacamos los elementos de agregación y complementación, así como las posibles disputas entre ambos autores, logrando postular cómo se enmarca la microfísica del poder en la generalización de la forma mercancía y el dominio del capital.

Celiac disease (CD) is a gluten intolerance autoimmune disorder which its symptoms involve the gastrointestinal tract and sometimes the other organs. It is one of the most prevalent health problems rising in many populations as statistics show that in every 100 people about one person is suffering from CD. It has been observed that the persons who genetically contain the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) DQ2 and HLA DQ8 genes involved in the immune system haplotypes are more prone to develop an allergy to gluten. The only treatment currently available for CD is a strict gluten-free diet. However, recent research has shown promising new insights into the herbal-based treatments of CD. New insight on CD is now offering various prospects to manage its treatment, diagnosis, and serving in the development of advanced therapies. Several herbs and botanical extracts have demonstrated anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and gut-healing properties that make them potential candidates for the management of CD. Here, we provide an updated review on pathogeneses and managements of CD.

Authors: Nguyen Bao Thien , Chen Yau-Jane
Published: December 2024

The current study aims to investigate how Vietnamese high school teachers and students perceive the implementation of mobile learning (M-learning) in classrooms. In this exploratory qualitative study, using a transcendental phenomenology approach, five teachers and six students were invited for semi-structured interviews. The data was then analysed using an analytic tool that was developed from the Framework for the Rational Analysis of Mobile Education (FRAME) model. The findings show that the key prerequisites for M-learning adoption in Vietnamese secondary schools were met, which potentially entail several benefits, including instant feedback, differentiated teaching, increased student involvement and 21st century competencies. Inadequate facilities, negative influences from external variables, instructor incapacity and a lack of student discipline were the barriers to the viability of M-learning in the classroom environment. The suggestions highlighted the responsibilities of the authorities, teachers and the autonomy of the students. Several theoretical and pedagogical implications for policymakers and future research are also discussed.

Kasa, a condition resembling allergic bronchitis in children, is characterized by irritation of the respiratory mucosa leading to coughing. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Balchaturbhadra Churna in managing Kasa in children aged 3 to 10 years. A total of 10 children with mild persistent allergic bronchitis were enrolled in a single-arm, open-label trial. The drug was administered for 30 days, with dosage determined using Young's formula. The primary endpoints were alleviation of subjective symptoms (e.g., chest pain, dry cough, hoarseness) and improvement in objective parameters (e.g., CBC, ESR, WBC). Significant improvements were observed in both subjective symptoms, such as reduced chest pain (55% relief), and objective parameters, including a reduction in ESR (45.35% relief) and eosinophils (34.5% relief). The therapy demonstrated statistically significant results in reducing symptoms of Kasa, with no adverse effects reported during the study. Thus, Balchaturbhadra Churna was proved to be a safe and effective treatment for managing Kasa in children.

Healthcare has made significant progress in the last century; however, its carbon footprint has negatively impacted the health of the planet. The intensive care unit (ICU) is called the ‘carbon hotspot’ of the hospital, as it contributes significantly towards the carbon footprint while delivering the care. We need to put in collaborative and continuous efforts from various stakeholders to make ICUs environmentally sustainable.

Published: December 2024

Cow dung and fermented goat urine POC were applied to soybean plants (Glycine max LMerryl) in order to increase the growth process and production results. This study was conducted to determine the effect of using cow dung and fermented goat urine POC on the growth and production of soybean plants (Glycine max LMerryl). This study used a Factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) consisting of 2 factors. The first factor of cow dung fertilizer administration consists of S0 = 0 kg / plot, S1 = 1kg / plot, S2 = 2kg / plot, S3 = 3kg / plot. The second factor of fermented goat urine POC administration consists of K0 = 0 ml / L water / plot, K1 = 100 ml / L water / plot, K2 = 200 ml / L water / plot, K3 = 300 ml / L water / plot. The results showed that the provision of cow dung fertilizer had a very significant effect on the parameters of plant height, number of pods per sample, number of pods per plot and weight of pod production per plot and had a significant effect on the weight of 100 seeds per plot. The provision of fermented goat urine had a significant effect on the parameters of plant height, number of pods per sample, number of pods per plot and weight of pod production per plot and had a very significant effect on the weight of 100 seeds per plot. The interaction between cow dung fertilizer and fermented goat urine was not significantly different in all observations.

Giriş: Lomber disk herniasyonlarının tedavisinde diskektomi cerrahisi en sık kullanılan cerrahi yöntemlerdendir. Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı lomber diskektomi cerrahisi geçirmiş bir hastanın cerrahi sonrası 3. ayda yürüyüşünde meydana gelen değişiklikleri incelemektir. Yöntem: Bu çalışmada tek seviye diskektomi cerrahisi uygulanan 54 yaşında bir kadın hasta değerlendirildi. Değerlendirmeler cerrahiden 3 ay sonra yapıldı. Hastanın demografik ve klinik bilgileri kaydedildikten sonra, ağrı şiddeti Vizüel Analog Skalası ile (VAS), özür durumu Oswestry Özürlülük İndeksi ile ve yürüme parametrelerinde meydana gelen değişiklikler G-Walk Yürüme Analiz Sistemi ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Hastanın cerrahi sonrasında yürüme parametrelerinde meydana gelen değişiklikler incelendiğinde; yürüme kalitesinin simetrik olmadığı, kadansın ve yürüme hızının düştüğü belirlendi. Ayrıca duruş fazının sağ ve sol ekstremitede arttığı, sallanma fazının ise sağ ve sol tarafta azaldığı bulundu. Çift destek periyodunun arttığı, etkilenen ekstremitede tek destek fazının azaldığı ve adım uzunluğunun arttığı tespit edildi.
Tartışma ve Sonuç: Lomber cerrahiler sonrasında cerrahi geçiren hastalarda yürüme parametrelerinde önemli düzeyde değişiklikler meydana gelmektedir. Cerrahi geçiren hastalarda postoperatif dönemde normal ve simetrik bir yürüyüş paterninin kazandırılması için rehabilitasyon programında yürüme eğitimi verilmelidir.

The study examined the perception of Anambra state residents toward media campaigns against the consumption of uncertified herbal medicine. The essence of the study was to determine the extent of exposure of the residents to media campaigns against the consumption of uncertified herbal medicine. Study adopted two theoretical frameworks, and a survey research method was used. The study found, among others, that a majority of the respondents were moderately exposed to media campaigns against the consumption of uncertified herbal medicine; radio was the medium through which most of the respondents accessed media campaigns against the consumption of uncertified herbal medicine. Further findings revealed that the media campaigns against consumption of uncertified herbal medicine among the residents have not been so effective. The study concluded that the media campaigns against the consumption of uncertified herbal medicine convey uncertainty, a grey area by Anambra state residents. Thus, the study recommended that media should actively shed light on the dangers of consuming uncertified herbal medicine, committing themselves to features, editorials, radio presentations, news programmes, call-in-programs, and documentaries, among others.
