Efeitos dos exergames no desempenho motor e no tempo de reação de crianças com transtorno do neurodesenvolvimento: TEA e TDAH
Authors:   , Diniz Elizangela Fernandes Ferreira Santos
Published: June 2023

Esta tese teve como objetivo geral verificar os efeitos dos exergames no desempenho motor e no tempo de reação de crianças com transtorno do neurodesenvolvimento. Trata-se de um estudo quase-experimental com crianças entre 5 e 11 anos de idade com diagnóstico de Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) e, ou, Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade (TDAH). O estudo foi realizado em duas cidades do interior de Minas Gerais. Os participantes foram avaliados pela Escala de Desenvolvimento Motor, com a finalidade de mensurar o desempenho motor; e pelo teste Tempo de Reação Simples RT/S1, para aferir o tempo de reação. O processo de coleta de dados envolveu sete momentos: (i) Avaliação das crianças em pré-intervenção; (ii) Encontros de monitoramento durante oito semanas, com duração de 35 a 40 minutos; (iii) Avaliação das variáveis; (iv) Aplicação de mais oito semanas de monitoramento; (v) Reavaliação do desempenho motor e do tempo de reação; (vi) Execução das intervenções com exergames durante oito semanas, com um encontro semanal de 35 a 45 minutos; e (vii) Avaliação final dos participantes. Os dados foram analisados pelo método estatístico JT, recomendado para pesquisas de intervenção em pequenos grupos e sem grupo controle. Os principais resultados indicaram que os exergames contribuíram com Mudança Positiva Confiável (MPC) no Quociente Motor Geral (QMG pré : 87.5/QMG pós : 102.32) e na idade motora geral (IMG pré : 70/IMG pós : 88) do participante com TEA, sendo as áreas motoras equilíbrio (QM pré : 52,5/QM pós : 104,65) e esquema corporal (IM pré : 60/IM pós : 96), enquanto na criança com TDAH se identificou uma MPC no equilíbrio (QM pré : 59,45/QM pós : 71.79) após a aplicação dos exergames. Na variável tempo de reação, a intervenção não ocasionou MPC em nenhum dos dois transtornos. O tempo motor para o participante com TDAH apresentou mudança negativa confiável desde a primeira etapa de monitoramento. As descobertas sugerem que o uso dos exergames parece refletir em melhorias nos aspectos motores do TEA e em menor intesidade do TDAH para os participantes deste estudo, no entanto o tempo de reação não foi influenciado pela intervenção em nenhum dos transtornos.

The ADA/EASD consensus 2022 and its implications for Belgium

During the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) congress in Stockholm, the new consensus guideline for the treatment of hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes was presented. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the EASD plead for a holistic, patient-centered approach surrounded by a team of healthcare professionals. The consensus focuses on a patient-tailored pharmacological and non-pharmacological approach taking into account patient-specific comorbidities. Striving for sustainable weight reduction should be the cornerstone of any therapeutic intervention in type 2 diabetes. The early initiation of combination therapy is recommended to avoid therapeutic inertia and to increase the time to therapeutic failure. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) remain the first choice for patients with established cardiorenal disease or high-risk patients, possibly in combination with metformin. In the absence of cardiovascular or renal disease, the medication selection should be driven by weight control, obtaining glycemic control and the avoidance of hypoglycemia. Here again, SGLT2i and GLP1-RA shine because of their good safety profile and highly favorable effects on weight, glucose and blood pressure. Thanks to the b(l)ooming development of new antidiabetic medication for type 2 diabetes, adding insulin to the treatment plan can often be postponed to later stages of the disease. When insulin is required, the combined initiation with a GLP1-RA should be considered as they allow lower glycemic targets to be reached with a lower injection burden, a lower risk of hypoglycemia and lower weight gain than with insulin alone.
The Impact of Interest Rates on Bank Profitability: A Retrospective Assessment Using New Cross-country Bank-level Data
Authors:   Reserve Bank of Australia, Windsor Callan , Jokipii Terhi ,   Swiss National Bank, Bussiere Matthieu ,   Banque de France
Published: June 2023

This paper provides a retrospective assessment of the relationship between bank profitability and interest rates, focusing on the period when rates were very low or negative. To do this we use new confidential bank-level data covering about 1,500 banks operating in 10 banking systems, with most samples spanning the two decades up to the end of 2019. Our analysis confirms the empirical regularity that declining interest rates reduce banks' net interest margins. However, we find a smaller effect than in previous studies: on average across countries, a 100 basis point fall in short-term interest rates results in a 5 basis point decline in net interest margins in the short run. Notably, there are substantial cross-country differences, and, in some cases, the estimated effect is greater. Importantly, the effect of lower interest rates on net interest margins is larger than the effect on assets returns, suggesting that banks can shield overall profitability in the face of lower interest rates. For example, lower interest rates alleviate debt-servicing burdens and are associated with a fall in provisions set aside to cover losses on loans. There is therefore no one-size-fits-all result for the impact of low interest rates on overall profitability: in some jurisdictions banks maintained their level of profitability as the beneficial impact of lower rates on loan-loss provisions and other factors, including an increased focus on cost efficiencies and streamlining business models, materially offset the drag from lower interest margins.

Published: June 2023

Objective: One of the most prevalent abdominal crises is acute appendicitis (AA). Clinical diagnosis, even for skilled surgeons, is frequently challenging, as indicated by the high proportion of negative investigations. The purpose of this study was to see if serum TWEAK levels might be used to diagnose acute appendicitis.

Material and Methods: Between June 2017 and May 2019, all patients who had surgery with the original diagnosis of AA were included in the study. TWEAK, WBC, CRP, and bilirubin levels were compared.

Results: The levels of WBC, CRP, and bilirubin were compared to pathology. All three blood indicators increased significantly in AA patients. However, no statistically significant difference in the levels of all three blood indicators was seen between individuals with simple AA and those with severe AA. TWEAK plasma concentrations were considerably greater in patients with severe AA than in the healthy control and NAA groups. TWEAK levels were significantly greater in individuals with severe AA compared to patients with simple AA.

Conclusion: Serum TWEAK levels that are elevated may be used to diagnose acute appendicitis as well as prognostic indicators for the severity of appendicitis.

Authors: Wani Ab Hamid , Iqbal Javid , Parihar Satish
Published: June 2023

Objective: The aim of this study was to perform retrospective analysis of data collected from patients of gallbladder perforations for diagnosis, management and outcome.

Material and Methods: A retrospective analysis of data was carried out for 40 patients of gallbladder perforations from the hospital record of patients who were diagnosed preoperatively and intraoperatively as a case of gallbladder perforation over a period of 10 years and were managed in our surgery unit of a tertiary health care centre. Patients were included irrespective of sex except cases of trauma and patients of the paediatric age group.

Results: Among 40 patients, 26 were females and 14 were males. As per Anderson modification of Neimeier classification, 13 (32.5%) had type 1, 23 (57.5%) had type 2, and four (10%) patients had type 3 perforations and none of the patients had type 4 perforation. Twenty-three patients (57.5%) were found to have fundal perforation, followed by body in 11 patients (27.5%), three (7.5%) in Hartman’s pouch while in three patients (7.5%), there were multiple perforations. All patients of type 1 Neimer classification were diagnosed clinically as cases of biliary peritonitis, whereas most cases of type 2 Neimer classification were diagnosed preoperatively by CECT abdomen 12/23 patients (52%) and ultrasound abdomen 10/23 (43.47%). All patients underwent surgery, and there were three mortalities.

Conclusion: In our study, there was female predominance in patients having gallbladder perforation. Of the patients, 52.5% were diabetic and mean age was 55.9 years. CECT abdomen was the most useful modality for diagnosis of type 2 gallbladder perforations. Timely surgical intervention is mandatory for a better outcome of these cases.

Целью работы был мониторинг качественного состава сточных вод предприятий г. Уфы. Исследование показало, что сточные воды некоторых предприятий являются загрязненными по содержанию взвешенных веществ, нефтепродуктов, ионов аммония, ХПК. Выявлена значимая корреляция между ХПК и БПК, БПК и содержанием фосфат-ионов, БПК и содержанием ионов аммония, величиной рН и содержанием ионов аммония. Соотношение между показателями ХПК и БПК позволяет судить о составе сточных вод и является подсказкой при подборе наиболее оптимального метода очистки. Несущественная разница между данными параметрами указывает на целесообразность применения биологической очистки, ведь чем больше органики, тем выше показатели БПК. Значительное превышение ХПК, по сравнению с БПК, указывает на большое содержание стойких органических соединений, которые трудно подвергаются биохимическому взаимодействию, и в этом случае правильнее будет использование физико-химических способов очистки. В пробах выделены и идентифицированы грамотрицательные условно-патогенные бактерии семейства Enterobacteriaceae – Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella sp., Citrobacter sp., бороться с которыми эффективнее и экологически безопаснее методом ультрафиолетового обеззараживания.  Проведенный мониторинг может стать хорошей опорой при подборе наиболее оптимального метода очистки сточных вод.

Published: June 2023

Drones have recently gained in popularity and are now frequently used for a variety of purposes. The majority of commercially available drones are generally non-self-governing and require the assistance of a human operator. However, advances in computer vision and artificial intelligence in general have drastically altered the situation. The growing scale of warehouses, as well as the difficulty in hiring trained workers, rising demand for customer services, and the rise of e-commerce, have heightened the need for warehouse operations to be more efficient through automation. In warehouses, drones may be a feasible alternative to manual inspections and surveillance activities. They can also be used for intralogistics, such as transferring parts from warehouses to assembly lines in factories. Multiple organizations throughout the world have been doing product delivery studies, but the focus of this article will be on the use of drones in warehouses for inventory management, which is gaining traction every day. Inventory management, stock inspection, and visual feedback will be the project's main applications. Manually inspecting the condition of things or confirming the contents of a product is common. The system makes it possible to do so fast and efficiently. The method allows still photographs to be collected for subsequent processing or a live video feed for FPV viewing because the drones are equipped with cameras. The report contains a thorough examination of the done systems and their application in warehouse management
The Effects of Personal Propensity, Achievement Desire, and Start-up Preparation on Entrepreneurial Intention of Workers: Focusing on the Parallel Mediating Model of Recognition of Start-up Opportunity and Social Perception of Entrepreneurs
Authors:   The Korean Career·Entrepreneurship & Business Association, Kim Myoung-han
Published: June 2023

Despite the fact that career workers start a business the most, studies on entrepreneurship on workers are at a very low level, and extended research is needed. This study empirically analyzed the effect on entrepreneurial intention, focusing on the parallel mediating model of recognition of start-up opportunity and social perception of entrepreneurs, in order to induce competent career workers to start a business and to suggest improvements and promotion activities. A total of 447 valid questionnaires were used for the study with workers residing in Korea as the population, and the research analysis was verified with SPSS Ver.22.0 and PROCESS macro v3.5, and the multi-parallel mediation model was verified with PROCESS macro Model 4. The results of the study are as follows: First, it was confirmed that personal propensity(initiative, risk-taking) does not consistently affect entrepreneurship-related perceptions. Second, in a situation where the mediating variables(recognition of start-up opportunity and social perception of entrepreneurs) were controlled, personal propensity(initiative, risk-taking), desire for achievement(economic achievement, self-fulfillment), and start-up preparation were found to have an effect on entrepreneurial intention. Third, it was investigated that personal propensity(initiative, risk-taking) did not have a direct effect on entrepreneurial intention. Fourth, as a result of mediating effect analysis, it was found that recognition of start-up opportunity and social perception of entrepreneurs mediated between economic achievement, self-fulfillment, entrepreneurial preparation and entrepreneurial intention. It was found that there was no mediating effect between initiative and entrepreneurial intention, and it was also confirmed that social perception of entrepreneurs had no mediating effect between risk-taking and entrepreneurial intention. Risk-taking was not significant for entrepreneurial intention, but recognition of start-up opportunity had a complete mediating effect on entrepreneurial intention. Through this study, it is necessary to expand the contact point for entrepreneurship opportunities and increase the positive perception of entrepreneurs in order to activate entrepreneurship among workers, Since the effect on entrepreneurial intention is different depending on the degree of preparation for start-up, it suggests that preparation for start-up, such as specific items and capital procurement, is important to lead to actual start-up action.
A Case Study of University Startup Club Support Using Design Thinking and Lean Startup Process on Start-up Commercialization
Authors:   The Korean Career·Entrepreneurship & Business Association, Kim Jaehyun , Park Mun Su
Published: June 2023

This study analyzed how university start-up club activities expand university students' start-up intentions and commercialize them based on the problem that it is not clear why start-up intention or start-up performance is created through start-up club activities. The study conducted a case analysis of five teams that received start-up club support for two consecutive years from 2021 to 2022, and the implications of the start-up club support process were first, and the four-stage systematic start-up club support process was able to commercialize start-up clubs and improve start-up intentions. Second, it can be seen that not only the individual efforts of the start-up club but also the active support at the university level are essential for the commercialization of the start-up club and the improvement of the will to start a business. Finally, it was confirmed that advanced methodologies such as design thinking and lean startups are actively used in the university field. However, there is a difficulty in generalization due to the case analysis of five start-up clubs. However, this study means that it is valuable as an exploratory study for future quantitative research.

Published: June 2023

Although the corrosion of iron-based alloys by ionic liquids (ILs) has been reported, the influence of trace water in ILs on its corrosion mechanism is often ignored. In this work, we investigated the corrosion behavior of Q235 carbon steel (Q235 CS) and 304 stainless steel (304 SS) exposed to 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM]BF4) with trace water (0.5 wt% to 4.0 wt%) at 323 K. Electrochemical tests and surface analysis manifested that the increasing water content accelerated corrosion of the two iron-based alloys in [BMIM]BF4. A nontypical passivation zone was observed for Q235 CS, while 304 SS exhibited completely active dissolution and its corrosion situation was not as serious as Q235 CS. The occurrence of pitting corrosion is responsible for 304 SS behaviors in [BMIM]BF4. Some corrosion products accumulated on the surface of both iron-based alloys were similar, including FeF2, FeF3, FeO, Fe2O3, and/or FeOOH. Gas products during corrosion were also monitored to avoid the complicated cathodic depolarization process, and it was found to be composed of BF3, HF, and H2. Finally, the corrosion mechanism of iron-based alloys in ILs with trace water was proposed. The illustrated mechanism would be meaningful for understanding the similar corrosiveness to iron-based alloys.

We provide the results on the first systematic effort to study cave-dwelling crocodiles in central Belize. For nearly three decades, managers at Runaway Creek Nature Reserve have frequently observed crocodile tracks and trackways in caves, while subterranean observations of crocodiles were less frequent. We surveyed five caves previously identified as crocodile habitat by wading (up to waist deep) and kayaking; we also deployed trail cameras in five of six flooded caves. Crocodiles were directly observed in two caves and trail camera footage was captured of a crocodile exiting a third cave. Given that introgression between Morelet’s Crocodile (Crocodylus moreletii (A.H.A. Duméril & Bibron, 1851)) and the American Crocodile (Crocodylus acutus Cuvier, 1807) is high throughout their sympatric range and none of the crocodiles were captured, all individuals were identified as Crocodylus acutus x C. moreletii?. Additionally, in the five caves previously identified as crocodile habitat, we identified at least 16 potential prey species including two invertebrate, four fish, one turtle, one bird, several bat, and eight non-bat mammal species via direct observation and trail cameras. Capture, examination, and stomach flushes of cave-dwelling crocodiles, as well as continued monitoring of vertebrates via trail cameras, additional prey species surveys, monitoring of cave temperatures, and developing detailed cave maps of crocodile caves are highly recommended to obtain the information to both characterize crocodile cave use and optimally manage cave resources.

“Women, Slavery, and the Archive: Innovations in Slavery Studies and Contemporary Connections”

Early scholarship on slavery, abolition, and the British empire largely ignored the contribution of women of any race to the African Institution. British women who participated in boycotts, produced literary texts against African enslavement, and did the legwork of circulating petitions were relegated to footnotes until well into the twentieth century when women scholars began to create space in the canon for the unrecognized or under-recognized women writers. These new avenues of research evolved through decades to become more inclusive, more critical, and more ground-breaking in bringing the past into the present. I identify four important shifts in our understanding of British enslavement and abolition over the long eighteenth century: 1. recognition of (white) women’s work in the abolitionist campaigns; 2. recognition of the labor of enslaved women and their contributions to resistance; 3. recognition of women’s involvement in supporting as well as resisting slavery; 4. recognition of the erasure of people, and the violence of the archive that only validates recorded experiences. Recovering these various kinds of erasures has opened possibilities for new methods of analysis. The legacy of this work not only opened slavery studies to new methodologies of gender and intersectional analyses, but it also opened the archive to productive critique. The new avenues for slavery studies recovers the voices of silenced women and empowers scholar who wish to challenge established narratives. By reviewing the scholarly legacy of transatlantic slavery studies, we can also better appreciate the influence on the immediate present. Contemporary work on Black Lives Matter (abolition), 1619 Project, and the attempts to ban critical race theory address the importance of the transitions in scholarship and how their legacies can reshape the future.
It’s a Wonderful Life
Authors: Newton Michael
Published: June 2023

Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life is one of the best-loved films of Classical Hollywood cinema, a story of despair and redemption in the aftermath of war that is one of the central movies of the 1940s, and a key text in America’s understanding of itself. This is a film that remains relevant to our own anxieties and yearnings, to all the contradictions of ordinary life, while also enacting for us the quintessence of the classic Hollywood aesthetic. Nostalgia, humour, and a tough resilience weave themselves through this movie, intertwining it with the fraught cultural moment of the end of World War II that saw its birth. It offers a still compelling merging of fantasy and realism that was utterly unique when it was first released, and has rarely been matched since.

Michael Newton's study of the film investigates the source of its extraordinary power and its long-lasting impact. He begins by introducing the key figures in the movie’s production - notably director Frank Capra and star James Stewart - and traces the making of the film, and then provides a brief synopsis of the film, considering its aesthetic processes and procedures, touching on all those things that make it such an astonishing film. Newton's careful analysis explores all those aspects of the film that are fundamental to our understanding of it, particularly the way in which the film brings tragedy and comedy together. Finally, Newton tells the story of the film’s reception and afterlife, accounting for its initial relative failure and its subsequent immense popularity.
Point Blank
Authors: Wilson Eric G.
Published: June 2023

John Boorman’s Point Blank (1967) has long been recognised as one of the seminal films of the sixties, with its revisionary mix of genres including neo-noir, New Wave, and spaghetti western. Its lasting influence can be traced throughout the decades in films like Mean Streets (1973), Reservoir Dogs (1992), Heat (1995), The Limey (1999) and Memento (2000).

Eric Wilson’s compelling study of the film examines its significance to New Hollywood cinema. He argues that Boorman revises traditional Hollywood crime films by probing a second connotation of ‘point blank’. On the one hand, it is a neo-noir that aptly depicts close range violence, but, it also points toward blankness, a nothingness that is the consequence of corporate America unchecked, where humans are reduced to commodities and stripped of agency and playfulness.

He goes on to reimagine the film’s experimental style as a representation of and possible remedy for trauma. Examining Boorman’s formal innovations, including his favouring of gesture over language and blurring of boundaries between dream and reality, he also positions the film as a grimly comical exploration of toxic masculinity and gender fluidity.

Wilson’s close reading of Point Blank reveals it to be a film that innovatively inflects its own generation and speaks powerfully to our own, arguing that it is this amplitude, which encompasses the many major films it has influenced, that qualifies the film as a classic.
LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS FOR CIPHERS
Authors: Noever David
Published: June 2023

This study investigates whether transformer models like ChatGPT (GPT4, MAR2023) can generalize beyond their training data by examining their performance on the novel Cipher Dataset, which scrambles token order. The dataset consists of 654 test cases, and the analysis focuses on 51 text examples and 13 algorithmic choices. Results show that the models perform well on low-difficulty ciphers like Caesar and can unscramble tokens in 77% of the cipher examples. Despite their reliance on training data, the model's ability to generalize outside of token order is surprising, especially when leveraging large-scale models with hundreds of billions of weights and a comprehensive text corpus with few examples. The original contributions of the work focus on presenting a cipher challenge dataset and then scoring historically significant ciphers for large language models to descramble. The real challenge for these generational models lies in executing the complex algorithmic steps on new cipher inputs, potentially as a novel reasoning challenge that relies less on knowledge acquisition and more on trial-and-error or out-ofbounds responses.
PROCEDURAL GENERATION IN 2D METROIDVANIA GAME WITH ANSWER SET PROGRAMMING AND PERLIN NOISE
Authors: Xu John , Morris John
Published: June 2023

Designing metroidvania games often poses a unique challenge to video game developers, namely the difficulty of consistently preventing soft-locking, which hinders or blocks the player’s ability to traverse through levels effectively [1]. As a result, many turn to hand-making all levels to ensure the level’s traversability, but in the process often forsaking the ability to rely on procedural generation to lessen the time and burden on human game developers [2]. On the other hand, when developers rely on popular ways of procedural generation such as using perlin noise, they find themselves unable to control those procedural algorithms to guarantee certain characteristics of the outputs such as traversability [3]. Our paper aims to present a procedural solution that can also effectively guarantee the traversability of the generated level. Our method uses Answer Set Programming (ASP) to verify generation based on restrictions we place, guaranteeing the outcome to be what we want [4]. The generation of a level is divided into rooms, which are first mapped out in a graph to ensure traversability from a starting room to an ending boss area. The rooms’ geometry is then generated accordingly to create the full level. Using perlin noise, we were also able to create a demonstration of how traversability works in another form of procedural generation, and compare it with our methodology to identify strengths and weaknesses. To demonstrate our method, we applied our solution as well as the perlin noise algorithm to a 2D metroidvania game made in the Unity game engine and conducted quantitative tests on the ASP method to assess how well our method works as a level generator [5].
