Observing and modeling the effects of production infrastructure in electromagnetic surveys
Authors: Weiss Chester J. , Beskardes G. Didem , MacLennan Kris , Wilt Michael J. , Um Evan Schankee , Lawton Don C.
Published: February 2022

Electromagnetic (EM) methods are among the original techniques for subsurface characterization in exploration geophysics because of their particular sensitivity to the earth electrical conductivity, a physical property of rocks distinct yet complementary to density, magnetization, and strength. However, this unique ability also makes them sensitive to metallic artifacts — infrastructure such as pipes, cables, and other forms of cultural clutter — the EM footprint of which often far exceeds their diminutive stature when compared to that of bulk rock itself. In the hunt for buried treasure or unexploded ordnance, this is an advantage; in the long-term monitoring of mature oil fields after decades of production, it is quite troublesome indeed. Here we consider the latter through the lens of an evolving energy industry landscape in which the traditional methods of EM characterization for the exploration geophysicist are applied toward emergent problems in well-casing integrity, carbon capture and storage, and overall situational awareness in the oil field. We introduce case studies from these exemplars, showing how signals from metallic artifacts can dominate those from the target itself and impose significant burdens on the requisite simulation complexity. We also show how recent advances in numerical methods mitigate the computational explosivity of infrastructure modeling, providing feasible and real-time analysis tools for the desktop geophysicist. Lastly, we demonstrate through comparison of field data and simulation results that incorporation of infrastructure into the analysis of such geophysical data is, in a growing number of cases, a requisite but now manageable step.
Seismic monitoring of well integrity

Published: February 2022

Seismic tube waves, produced by flexure of the well boundary, pressure changes in the fluid in the well, and deformation of the material immediately surrounding the well, are particularly sensitive to variations in the state of the well. We evaluate a direct approach for generating and observing tube waves as a means of detecting well damage. While we find that it can be difficult to reliably excite observable tube waves without a very strong surface source, time-frequency techniques can be employed to increase the detectability of tube wave reflections. New technologies, particularly distributed acoustic sensing, hold great promise for evaluating well integrity by monitoring tube waves, temperature changes, and seismic noise due to well deformation and fluid leakage.

Authors: Oraki Kohshour Mojtaba , Papiol Sergi , Ching Christopher R. K. , Schulze Thomas G.
Published: February 2022

Background

To date, besides genome-wide association studies, a variety of other genetic analyses (e.g. polygenic risk scores, whole-exome sequencing and whole-genome sequencing) have been conducted, and a large amount of data has been gathered for investigating the involvement of common, rare and very rare types of DNA sequence variants in bipolar disorder. Also, non-invasive neuroimaging methods can be used to quantify changes in brain structure and function in patients with bipolar disorder.

Aims

To provide a comprehensive assessment of genetic findings associated with bipolar disorder, based on the evaluation of different genomic approaches and neuroimaging studies.

Method

We conducted a PubMed search of all relevant literatures from the beginning to the present, by querying related search strings.

Results

ANK3, CACNA1C, SYNE1, ODZ4 and TRANK1 are five genes that have been replicated as key gene candidates in bipolar disorder pathophysiology, through the investigated studies. The percentage of phenotypic variance explained by the identified variants is small (approximately 4.7%). Bipolar disorder polygenic risk scores are associated with other psychiatric phenotypes. The ENIGMA-BD studies show a replicable pattern of lower cortical thickness, altered white matter integrity and smaller subcortical volumes in bipolar disorder.

Conclusions

The low amount of explained phenotypic variance highlights the need for further large-scale investigations, especially among non-European populations, to achieve a more complete understanding of the genetic architecture of bipolar disorder and the missing heritability. Combining neuroimaging data with genetic data in large-scale studies might help researchers acquire a better knowledge of the engaged brain regions in bipolar disorder.
Evaluation of Female Fertility—AMH and Ovarian Reserve Testing
Authors: Cedars Marcelle I
Published: February 2022

Context

Evaluation of the infertile female requires an understanding of ovulation and biomarkers of ovarian reserve. Antimüllerian hormone (AMH) correlates with growing follicles in a menstrual cycle. Increasingly, AMH has been used as a “fertility test.” This narrative review describes how to integrate the use of AMH into diagnosis and treatment.

Methods

A PubMed search was conducted to find recent literature on measurements and use of serum AMH as a marker of ovarian reserve and in treatment of infertility.

Results

Serum AMH estimates ovarian reserve, helps determine dosing in ovarian stimulation, and predicts stimulation response. As such, AMH is a good marker of oocyte quantity but does not reflect oocyte health or chances for pregnancy. Screening of AMH before fertility treatment should be used to estimate expected response and not to withhold treatment. Low AMH levels may suggest a shortened reproductive window. AMH levels must be interpreted in the context of the endogenous endocrine environment where low follicle-stimulating hormone, due to hypogonadotropic hypogonadism or hormonal contraceptive use, may lower AMH without being a true reflection of ovarian reserve. In addition, there is an inverse correlation between body mass index and AMH that does not reflect ovarian response.

Conclusion

AMH is a useful marker of ovarian reserve in reproductive-aged women. Increased screening of noninfertile women requires a thorough knowledge of situations that may affect AMH levels. In no situation does AMH reflect oocyte health or chances for conception. Age is still the strongest driver in determining success rates with fertility treatments.

Authors: Oğuz Seda Hanife , Şendur Süleyman Nahit , İremli Burçin Gönül , Gürlek Alper , Erbas Tomris , Ünlütürk Uğur
Published: February 2022

Context

The number of reported cases with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine–induced subacute thyroiditis (SAT) and Graves’ disease (GD) is growing. However, active debate continues about managing such side effects and the safety of repeat or booster doses of the vaccines in such cases.

Objectives

This study aims to present long-term clinical follow-up of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine–induced SAT or GD cases and provide data regarding the safety of revaccinations.

Methods

Patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 vaccine–induced SAT or GD were included. Data regarding the long-term clinical follow-up of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine–induced SAT and GD cases and outcomes of repeat or booster SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations were documented. The literature, including cases of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine–induced SAT or GD, was reviewed.

Results

Fifteen patients with SARS-CoV-2 vaccine–induced SAT and 4 with GD were included. Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine (BNT162b2) was associated with symptoms in a majority of cases with SAT and all with GD. Median time from vaccination to symptom onset was 7 and 11.5 days, respectively, while 7 and 2 patients required medical treatment in SAT and GD groups, respectively. Remission was documented in 10 SAT patients, with a median time to remission of 11.5 weeks. No exacerbation/recurrence of SAT occurred in 7 of 9 patients who received a repeat vaccination dose, while symptoms of SAT worsened following the second vaccination in 2 cases. None of the patients experienced severe side effects that could be associated with revaccinations.

Conclusions

Revaccinations appear to be safe in patients with SARS-CoV-2 vaccine–induced SAT cases, while more evidence is needed regarding SARS-CoV-2 vaccine–induced GD.
An Approach to the Patient With Delayed Puberty
Authors: Harrington Jennifer , Palmert Mark R
Published: February 2022

Pediatric endocrinologists often evaluate and treat youth with delayed puberty. Stereotypically, these patients are 14-year-old young men who present due to lack of pubertal development. Concerns about stature are often present, arising from gradual shifts to lower height percentiles on the population-based, cross-sectional curves. Fathers and/or mothers may have also experienced later than average pubertal onset. In this review, we will discuss a practical clinical approach to the evaluation and management of youth with delayed puberty, including the differential diagnosis and key aspects of evaluation and management informed by recent review of the existing literature. We will also discuss scenarios that pose additional clinical challenges, including: (1) the young woman whose case poses questions regarding how presentation and approach differs for females vs males; (2) the 14-year-old female or 16-year-old young man who highlight the need to reconsider the most likely diagnoses, including whether idiopathic delayed puberty can still be considered constitutional delay of growth and puberty at such late ages; and finally (3) the 12- to 13-year-old whose presentation raises questions about whether age cutoffs for the diagnosis and treatment of delayed puberty should be adjusted downward to coincide with the earlier onset of puberty in the general population.
Imputation provides an opportunity to study filaggrin (FLG) null mutations in large population cohorts that lack bespoke genotyping
Authors: Paternoster Lavinia , Budu-Aggrey Ashley , Brown Sara J.
Published: February 2022

Background: Low frequency mutations within the filaggrin (FLG) gene are established genetic risk factors for atopic dermatitis. Studies of FLG have typically used sequencing or bespoke genotyping. Large-scale population cohorts with genome-wide imputed data offer powerful genetic analysis opportunities, but bespoke FLG genotyping is often not feasible in such studies. Therefore, we aimed to determine the quality of selected FLG null genotype data extracted from genome-wide imputed sources, focussing on UK population data.

Methods: We compared the allele frequencies of three FLG null mutations (R501X, R2447X and S3247X) in directly genotyped and genome-wide imputed data in the ALSPAC cohort. Logistic regression analysis was used to test the association of atopic dermatitis with imputed and genotyped FLG null mutations in ALSPAC and UK Biobank to investigate the usefulness of imputed FLG data.

Results: The three FLG null mutations appear to be well imputed in datasets that use the Haplotype Reference Consortium (HRC) for imputation (0.3% discordance compared with directly genotyped data). However, a greater proportion of null alleles failed imputation compared to wild-type alleles. Despite the calling of FLG mutations in imputed data being imperfect, they are still strongly associated with atopic dermatitis (p-values between 7x10-10 and 5x10-75 in UK Biobank).

Conclusions: HRC imputed data appears to be adequate for UK population-based genetic analysis of selected FLG null mutations.

Artykuł poświęcony jest obszarom badań nad zabytkowymi dewizkami, do których podstawą jest unikatowa kolekcja dewizek w zbiorach Muzeum Regionalnego Ziemi Limanowskiej. Złożone i dotąd niezbadane zagadnienia symboliki dewizek znajdujących się w kolekcjach muzealnych wymagają uważnych studiów dzięki którym będzie można zaprezentować w pełni że są to obiekty stanowiące istotny wyznaczniki przemian semiotycznych kultury materialnej. Już wstępna analiza dostępnych źródeł i nielicznych opracowań wskazuję na potrzebę weryfikacji funkcjonującej definicji. Sygnalizuje to również potrzebę pogłębionych studiów na temat związków między typologią, funkcją i znaczeniem dewizek w różnych okresach historycznych, a rozwojem kultury, dzięki czemu będzie można wypracować nowatorskie podejście badawcze nad biżuterią i kulturą materialną. Podstawą do tego jest założenie, że dewizka jak żadna inna biżuteria codziennego użytku stawała się wizytówką, znakiem rozpoznawczym, wyrazem postaw i wyznawanych wartości, ale też talizmanem i amuletem właściciela.

„Kogo stać?” – wystawa niestała w Muzeum Etnograficznego w Krakowie.Tekst wprowadza czytelników w kulisy zmian, jakie zaszły pod koniec 2020 roku na wystawie stałej Muzeum Etnograficznego w Krakowie. W dwóch pomieszczaniach ekspozycji prezentowanej w głównym gmachu Muzeum powstała osobna przestrzeń, zatytułowana „Kogo stać?”. Zamiast uogólniających wniosków na temat „kultury ludowej” i „ludu”, kuratorki proponują opowieść o różnych ludziach, utkaną z indywidualnych głosów, konkretnych ludzkich losów, bardzo różnych doświadczeń – przemilczanych, zapomnianych. W ten sposób etnograficzna kolekcja staje się kluczem do rozmowy o spuściźnie – nierzadko kłopotliwym spadku po przodkach oraz emocjach związanych z wchodzeniem w niejednoznaczną rolę spadkobierców.
On a Variation of Two-Part Tariff Pricing of Services: A Data-Driven Approach
Authors: Perakis Georgia , Thraves Charles
Published: February 2022

Problem definition: We present a data-driven pricing problem motivated from our collaboration with a satellite service provider. In particular, we study a variant of the two-part tariff pricing scheme. The firm offers a set of data plans consisting of a bundle of data at a fixed price plus additional data at a variable price. Most literature on two-part tariff problems focuses on models that assume full information. However, little attention has been devoted to this problem from a data-driven perspective without full information. One of the main challenges when working with data comes from missing data. Methodology/results: First, we develop a new method to address the missing data problem, which comes from different sources: (i) the number of unobserved customers, (ii) customers’ willingness to pay (WTP), and (iii) demand from unobserved customers. We introduce an iteration procedure to maximize the likelihood by combining the expectation maximization algorithm with a gradient ascent method. We also formulate the pricing optimization problem as a dynamic program (DP) using a discretized set of prices. From applying Sample Average Approximation, the DP obtains a solution within 3.8% of the optimal solution of the sampled instances, on average, and within 18% with 95% confidence from the optimal solution of the exact problem. By extending the DP formulation, we show that it is better to optimize on prices rather than bundles, obtaining revenues close to optimizing jointly on both. Managerial implications: The sensitivity analysis of the problem parameters is key for decision makers to understand the risks of their pricing decisions. Indeed, assuming a higher variability of customers’ WTP induces higher revenue risks. In addition, revenues are barely (highly) sensitive to the customers’ assumed WTP variability when considering a high (low) number of unobserved customers. Finally, we extend the model to incorporate price-dependent consumption.
A Theory of Auto-Scaling for Resource Reservation in Cloud Services
Authors: Psychas Konstantinos , Ghaderi Javad
Published: February 2022

We consider a distributed server system consisting of a large number of servers, each with limited capacity on multiple resources (CPU, memory, etc.). Jobs with different rewards arrive over time and require certain amounts of resources for the duration of their service. When a job arrives, the system must decide whether to admit it or reject it, and if admitted, in which server to schedule it. The objective is to maximize the expected total reward received by the system. This problem is motivated by control of cloud computing clusters, in which jobs are requests for virtual machines (VMs) or containers that reserve resources for various services, and rewards represent service priority of requests or price paid per time unit of service. We study this problem in an asymptotic regime where the number of servers and jobs’ arrival rates scale by a factor L, as L becomes large. We propose a resource reservation policy that asymptotically achieves at least 1/2, and under certain monotone property on jobs’ rewards and resources, at least [Formula: see text] of the optimal expected reward. The policy automatically scales the number of VM slots for each job type as the demand changes and decides in which servers the slots should be created in advance, without the knowledge of traffic rates.
MUSE: Multimodal Separators for Efficient Route Planning in Transportation Networks
Authors: Falek Amine Mohamed , Pelsser Cristel , Julien Sebastien , Theoleyre Fabrice
Published: February 2022

Many algorithms compute shortest-path queries in mere microseconds on continental-scale networks. Most solutions are, however, tailored to either road or public transit networks in isolation. To fully exploit the transportation infrastructure, multimodal algorithms are sought to compute shortest paths combining various modes of transportation. Nonetheless, current solutions still lack performance to efficiently handle interactive queries under realistic network conditions where traffic jams, public transit cancelations, or delays often occur. We present a multimodal separators–based algorithm (MUSE), a new multimodal algorithm based on graph separators to compute shortest travel time paths. It partitions the network into independent, smaller regions, enabling fast and scalable preprocessing. The partition is common to all modes and independent of traffic conditions so that the preprocessing is only executed once. MUSE relies on a state automaton that describes the sequence of modes to constrain the shortest path during the preprocessing and the online phase. The support of new sequences of mobility modes only requires the preprocessing of the cliques, independently for each partition. We also augment our algorithm with heuristics during the query phase to achieve further speedups with minimal effect on correctness. We provide experimental results on France’s multimodal network containing the pedestrian, road, bicycle, and public transit networks.
Esophageal Bullous Pemphigoid
Authors: Castelo Branco Catarina , Fonseca Tomás , Marcos-Pinto Ricardo
Published: February 2022

Bullous pemphigoid is a rare autoimmune dermatologic disease that usually occurs in the elderly. Mucous membrane lesions occur in about 10–35% of patients and are almost always limited to the oral mucous membrane. Esophageal involvement is very rare (4% of cases) and usually presents with chest pain, dysphagia, and odynophagia, though patients are frequently asymptomatic. We report the case of newly diagnosed bullous pemphigoid in a 76-year-old man with a past medical history of dementia. He presented with cutaneous manifestations but also severe gastrointestinal bleeding due to extensive esophageal involvement. Although bullous pemphigoid is mainly a skin disease, mucous membrane lesions should not be overlooked as they are associated with an even poorer outcome. A high index of suspicion for esophageal involvement is needed as its presentation can be fatal, as with our patient.

Published: February 2022

The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the process of transition from visual-actuating to visual-figurative thinking in children with violations of the intelligence of junior school age. Specificity of speech disorders and its correction in children with violations of intelligence are determined by the peculiarities of higher nervous work and their mental development. Children with violations of intellectual development may have different speech violations, which negatively affects the development of thinking processes, memorization, imagination, psycho-emotional, personal and communicative development. Consequently, the broadcast of children with intellectual violations require specially organized correctional and development work. Increase in intellectual development encompasses stable violations and delay in mental development. There is a certain degree of levels that develop the intellectual scope of the child. The article describes the psychological content of visual types of thinking, preconditions, mechanisms and dynamics of its development, stages of formation of on-eye thinking in ontogenesis. The role of broadcasting in the formation of visual-figurative thinking in children with violations of intelligence is revealed. The conducted research allowed to determine the qualitative features of insufficient formation of visual types of thinking in junior schoolchildren with violations of intelligence.

Published: February 2022

The article deals with the problem of the formation of the linguistic personality of the applicant for higher education in the context of vocational training. The different views of scientists and approaches to the analysis of the linguistic personality, which determine the main component of this concept, are analyzed. It was found that the concept of «linguistic personality» was introduced into wide scientific use by Yuriy Karaulov. One of the main tasks of the professional training of an applicant for higher education at the university is the formation of a linguistic personality who can freely and communicatively express their thoughts in any situation, observing the norms of the literary language. Attention is focused on the fact that the linguistic personality of the applicant for education develops in the process of communication, which requires not only knowledge of the language, but also the ability to use it. Speech competence plays a special role in the formation of a speech personality. It is noted that on the basis of the development of different types of speech activity, the professional speech competence of applicants for education is formed – an integral concept that covers a wide range of personal speech abilities, knowledge, skills and abilities that ensure the successful implementation of speech activity.

The article reveals the causes and features of burnout syndrome in specialists of inclusive resource centers. The main groups of factors that contribute to the formation of burnout are identified, which include: individual personality traits (characterological, self-esteem, education, etc.); organizational (content of work, work overload, working conditions); features of professional activity. There are also recommendations for prevention and assistance to specialists of inclusive resource centers in overcoming the burnout syndrome. The issue of psychoprophylactic measures to prevent and overcome this phenomenon due to the high probability of developing burnout is summarized, the main areas of preventive and rehabilitation care for specialists of inclusive resource centers to overcome, prevent and prevent burnout are summarized. It is proved that with a high probability of developing the syndrome of their professional burnout, the issue of psychoprophylactic measures of prevention and overcoming this phenomenon acquires relevance. There are two main areas of preventive and rehabilitation work. It is proved that the activity of specialists of inclusive-resource centers is characterized by high intensity, saturation of actions, frequent intervention of external factors, a wide network of contacts of different levels, the predominance of direct speech (oral) communication with other people. It is determined that the activity is saturated with many organizational and socio-psychological stresses. And the specifics of the activity causes the presence of various stress-genic situations that create preconditions for the occurrence of professional burnout syndrome. Consequently, professional burnout syndrome is an extremely harmful condition that negatively affects all areas of human activity. Therefore, this phenomenon requires timely diagnosis, individual and group work. It is important to prevent the occurrence of the main symptoms of professional burnout, as well as the formation of skills to effectively overcome professional stress.

Authors:   MI ", Yeromenko Olha ,   Kharkiv Humanitarian and Pedagogical Academy",   of the Kharkiv Regional Council
Published: February 2022

The paper deals with the issue of introducing digital innovations in the process of training primary school teachers. It has been identified that digital literacy is becoming a priority for teachers today, therefore particular attention in the training of primary school teachers should be focused on the formation of digital competencies. The paper describes the peculiarities of digitization of the process of training primary school teachers and identifies ways to organize work with students using digital tools and technologies within blended learning. The educational concept of blended learning has been considered. Emphasis has been placed on the implementation of the «flipped classroom» model, using a mixed synchronous educational environment, which means simultaneous work with students in the classroom and online connection for those who cannot be present in the classroom. It has been proposed by the author to use the method of self-organized educational space for the organization of students’ independent work with the use of digital technologies in face-to-face classes. It has been stressed that the teacher under such an arrangement of training plays the role of facilitator, whose primary task is to organize group activities. The conditions which determine the success of further digitalization of the process of primary school teacher training have been presented.

The article reveals the theoretical and practical aspects of mastering the words of the Ukrainian language by future primary school teachers. The study of accentuation norms is considered as an important component of the language and speech training of students. A review of significant works on Ukrainian accentology has been carried out, disclosed linguistic and methodological approaches to the definition of the concepts of «culture of speech», «norms of the literary language», «orthoepic norms», «accentuation norms», etc. A language norm is defined as a set of language means that in a given language usage at a certain historical stage are considered correct and exemplary. It is noted that accentological norms regulate the stress of words in the modern Ukrainian literary language. The peculiarities of the Ukrainian accent are highlighted: first, it is free, it is not fixed in some permanent place for all words; secondly, it is mobile, that is, it often changes its place in different forms of the same word. The article describes the patterns of Ukrainian accentuation and the main provisions of the methodology for their study by applicants for education. Exercises and tasks for increasing the level of accentuation literacy of students are presented, aimed at working out word-discriminating stress, normative accentuation of stressed types of various parts of speech, form-discriminating, double, interferential stress, stress of borrowed words, difficult cases of accentuation. In the future, it is planned to develop a methodology for future primary school teachers to study accentuation norms with a communicative approach, the inclusion of tokens illustrating different cases of emphasis in phrases, sentences, texts.

Abstract. Sholiqin M, Pramadaningtyas PS, Solikah I, Febriyanti S, Pambudi MD, Mahartika SB, Umam AF, Liza N, Setyawan AD. 2021. Analysis of the diversity and evenness of mangrove ecosystems in the Pacitan Coast, East Java, Indonesia. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 11: 84-94. Indonesia has a high mangrove diversity with 43 species of true mangrove plants. Mangrove grows along the coastline of Indonesia’s islands, one of which is situated on the southern coast of Java. Pacitan, which belongs to the south coast of East Java and has 70,709 km of coastline, is an area with the potential to have a diverse of mangrove vegetation. The existence of mangroves plays a role in carbon sequestration and the stability of coastal ecosystems. The aim of this study was to determine the mangrove diversity and evenness index in the southern coast of Pacitan. This research was conducted on November 2021 in three locations, namely the Teleng Ria, Grindulu Estuary, and Siwil Beach. Data was collected using a plot of 10 x 10 m2 for trees, 5 x 5 m2 for saplings, and 2 x 2 m2 for seedlings. The data obtained were analyzed using the Shannon Wiener and Evenness index to calculate the mangrove diversity and evenness value. There are 8 species of mangroves (7 species of major and 1 species of minor mangrove), and 2 species of associated mangroves, with the domination of Rhizophora stylosa. The Shannon Weiner diversity index shows that the mangrove diversity index in the research areas ranges from low to moderate. The Evenness Index presents that Teleng Ria Estuary possesses a high evenness value, indicating its stable mangrove condition.

Purpose of the article: The purpose is to verify that ERP system implementations are in accordance with the company growth. There is no doubt that the ERP system as a representative of digitalisation tools aims at optimisation of resources and processes, while also contributing to sustainability.Methodology/Methods: The article is based on processing and sorting of secondary data published by the Czech Statistical Office. All relevant data were issued in different formats and structures so they needed to be parsed, cleaned and unified. It would not be possible to achieve expected results without such data transformation requiring knowledge in the field. To ensure higher validity of the study, the dependence between two researched aspects was observed in the lowest possible detail of the data and then summarised into present the final result.Scientific aim: The aim is to identify the relationship between the ERP system implementations and company growth. The study assumes that companies are motivated to digital transformation if it helps them to increase their production or do not temporarily slow it down because of the lifecycle and consequences of the implementation covering investment, deployment and usage of the ERP.Findings: Although the number of Czech companies using an ERP system is not constantly growing, the enterprise production is increasing during the reference period. This phenomenon is noticeable in almost every NACE industry in years 2015, 2017 and 2019. Even though the number of firms using the ERP is not clearly growing, as there is a fall in 2017, the general trend between 2015 and 2019 is increasing.Conclusions: As there is no negative effect of implementation of the ERP system on company growth, enterprises are willing to invest into their digital transformation and thus to support sustainable development as a whole.

Adaptive care plans (ACPs) are an innovative method to providing care for children and adolescents with developmental disabilities who have challenging behaviors during healthcare encounters. ACPs take a family-centered approach to ensure that children with developmental disabilities are able to receive safe and appropriate healthcare by increasing communication and collaboration between caregivers and healthcare team members. Differing healthcare professionals are strategically involved in order to appropriately match the level of support to the patient's behavioral risk through a review of two case examples from the pediatric physical medicine and rehabilitation department. Specifically, case examples describe varying levels of accommodations and support provided to children with challenging behaviors, whose behaviors may have otherwise prevented them from receiving appropriate health interventions.

Amid the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, preprints in the biomedical sciences are being posted and accessed at unprecedented rates, drawing widespread attention from the general public, press, and policymakers for the first time. This phenomenon has sharpened long-standing questions about the reliability of information shared prior to journal peer review. Does the information shared in preprints typically withstand the scrutiny of peer review, or are conclusions likely to change in the version of record? We assessed preprints from bioRxiv and medRxiv that had been posted and subsequently published in a journal through April 30, 2020, representing the initial phase of the pandemic response. We utilised a combination of automatic and manual annotations to quantify how an article changed between the preprinted and published version. We found that the total number of figure panels and tables changed little between preprint and published articles. Moreover, the conclusions of 7.2% of non-COVID-19–related and 17.2% of COVID-19–related abstracts undergo a discrete change by the time of publication, but the majority of these changes do not qualitatively change the conclusions of the paper.
