Green buildings are supposed to provide a sustainable solution for energy usage, but their low performance raised some questions in the literature. The researchers determine that occupants are the key factor for this energy deficiency. In the last two decades, a stream of research focuses on the greening of occupants, but a synthesis of findings and results are absent in the literature. In this study, we reviewed the literature on green buildings and occupants. Based on the findings we classified four classes. The first class consists of green occupants and green buildings, which is the ideal solution for high-energy efficiency. The second class is of brown occupants and green buildings and is the prime reason behind outperformed green buildings and yields negative-medium level efficiency. The third class comprises green occupants and brown buildings and yields positive-medium level efficiency, which helps to start the journey towards sustainability. The fourth class is the combination of brown buildings and brown occupants and has the lowest efficiency and worst impact on the environment throughout the lifecycle. Further, we link these classes with the energy-saving efficiency of buildings and finally recommended an efficient solution for second and third world countries. The study contributes to green building literature and packed with managerial implications to gain the maximum benefits of green buildings.

This paper discusses a gallery of useful results in connection with integrating factors that are often left as problems for discovery learning and are generally not taught in typical Ordinary Differential Equations courses. Most often than not the approach earlier writers employ is to give a possible form for an integrating factor that may results in an integrating curve without practical prove as far as the subject matter is concerned. In this write-up, an attempt is made by solving the resulting partial differential equation emanating from an underlining general differential equation of a non-exact form, by the use of the ratio theorem to establish various intricate possibilities of integrating factors that are seldom and often relegated to the background, even though they may be equally be applied as a function of a unitary variable or a linear combination of both the dependent and independent variables under certain conditions. Granted an integrating factor is found and such a function applied, the benefit is enormous especially the non-exact differential equation reduces into a known type which may be identified as exact, homogeneous, and or separable that yields a solution.

Published: January 2022

Neurological involvement was common in children and adolescents with Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) related hospitalization and is mostly transient. A spectrum of life-threatening neurologic involvement infrequently occurred and was associated with more extreme inflammation and severe sequel. We reported a patient male, seven months old with chief complaint of fever since 1 month before admission. The patient was diagnosed by confirmed case COVID-19 with a positive RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 swab. He had some contact with his parents that had confirmed with COVID-19 before. The patient also complained with focal seizures in the left extremity with decreased of consciousness. The seizure always repeated every day for 1 week with the same pattern. Patient also complain of nausea and vomiting every time he has been breastfed. There is no changes of the lips and oral cavity, no cutaneous rash, no red eyes, no swelling or edema on extremities. Non-contrast head CT-Scan revealed large area of acute cerebral infarction. Echocardiography revealed mild loculated pericardial effusion and cerebrospinal fluid cultured result revealed Pseudomonas stutzeri. After 3 weeks discharged from the hospital, the patient underwent a head MRI examination and the results revealed chronic ischemic cerebral infarction and communicating hydrocephalus. The patient was planned to undergo a VP shunt as a treatment for hydrocephalus. The neurological involvement can occur in children and adolescents with COVID-19. The range of severe neurologic complications including peripheral nerve disorders, focal CNS disease and diffuse CNS involvement, make it likely that multiple mechanisms underlie this wide spectrum of disease.
The interdisciplinary nexus between art and science and the play of the aesthetic
Authors: Daniel Shorkend
Published: January 2022

It is usually assumed that each discipline ranging from the humanities to the sciences forms a neat, separate and irreducible mode of analysis and area of expertise. The great body of knowledge accumulated over time, is a testimony to the many advances in each field. Often new fields and sub fields are established, but in the main there appears to be a separation between the humanities and the sciences; two cultures as it has often been described. While this is a useful partition, it may be but a fiction. For whether one is talking about either such disciplines, it remains human knowledge all the same and therefore subject to the same perceptual apparatus and history, albeit science claims neutrality and objectivity, while the humanities and the arts, the subjective and more imaginative domain. Nevertheless, such distinctions may be spurious and shortsighted. My endeavor is to suggest some rudimentary language, albeit far from a written system of codification or discipline, but described as a more holistic conception of the “state of knowledge” as it were. It is here that one may speak of the inter-disciplinary and I do this by some philosophical speculations wherein art and science can share a common language of sorts.

The oil and gas industry of today is undergoing rapid digitalization. This implies a massive effort to transform standard work procedures and workflows into more efficient practices and implementations using machine learning (ML) and automation. This will enable geoscientists to explore and exploit vast amounts of data quickly and efficiently. To address these current industry challenges, we propose a pilot well-log database in HDF5 (Hierarchical Data Format version 5) format that can be continuously extended if new data become available. It also provides versatility for data preparation for further analysis. We show an alternative way to store and use log files in a hierarchical structure that is easy to understand and handle by research institutes, companies, and academia. We also touch upon well-log depth matching, a long-standing industry challenge, to synchronize data from different logging passes to a single depth reference. Having a robust automated solution for depth matching is important to facilitate the use of all available data in a depth interval for analysis by ML. We propose an automatic well-log depth-matching workflow capable of handling multiple log types simultaneously and its integration with the database. The updated depth-matched logs are added to the database with their corresponding metadata, giving the geoscientist full control. We implemented two algorithms—classical cross correlation combined with a scaling factor to simulate stretch-squeeze effects and a constrained dynamic time warping (DTW). Our results indicate that the classical cross correlation outperforms the warping for both robustness and speed when the DTW is constrained to avoid excessive signal distortion and when the number of processed curves increases, respectively. Some limitations of our approach are related to large changes in the log patterns between the runs, as well as the assumption of negligible depth shift between log types within the same run. The cross correlation also allows a consistent application of depth matching to the metadata. This prototype workflow is tested using two wells from the Norwegian North Sea. We see the potential for extending this automatic database-processing workflow to give geoscientists access to all the data to improve interpretation.

Published: January 2022

The Delaware Basin of the greater Permian Basin system has been the focus of continually increased attention in the exploration, appraisal, and development phases of unconventional oil and gas potential over the past decade. While the industry continues to drill horizontal wells for the exploitation of producible hydrocarbon, subsurface disciplines continue to investigate the rock and fluid properties of the stratigraphy through the application of various technological tools. In this study, we focus on five wells spatially covering Loving, Ward, and Reeves Counties in West Texas, where whole core samples were acquired and investigated to compare variations in the Bone Spring and Wolfcamp Formations across varying geological contexts. Samples taken from the whole conventional core were investigated in the laboratory setting, and a series of measurements were acquired on each sample. The laboratory measurements distinguished trends and changes in the rock property volumes (i.e., porosity, saturation, total organic carbon) over stratigraphic intervals. The utilization of nuclear magnetic resonance, as well as acquired geochemical data, allows an innovative approach and application of a correction factor to be applied to the saturation quantification. Integration of geological context with measured laboratory data constraints and petrophysical wireline-log-based interpretation links predictive trends from the defined rock and fluid property distributions and may aid in predicting hydrocarbon vs. water production.

The purpose of this study was to determine the level of emotional intelligence and the level of student achievement, as well as to determine whether there is a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and student achievement in social studies subject class IX SMP Negeri 10 Samarinda in the academic year 2021/2022. Sampling in this study used a probability sampling technique with proportional random, namely 78 students from 326 students of class IX SMP Negeri 10 Samarinda. The type of research used is quantitative research with a correlational approach. In an effort to collect data (research instruments), the author uses a Likert scale, namely the emotional intelligence scale which refers to the 5 (five) elements of emotional intelligence and documentation of student report cards to determine the value of learning achievement. Testing the validity of items and elements on the emotional intelligence scale was carried out by expert validation. To find the correlation between the two research variables, Pearson's Poduct Moment correlation was used and the analysis used the computer-assisted SPSS 23 for Windows program. Based on the results of the study, it showed that there was a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and student achievement in class IX of SMP Negeri 10 Samarinda. From the results of the calculation analysis, the value of sig = 0.000 and rcount = 0.407 means that the value of sig 0.000 < 0.05 and rcount is consulted with the rtable of product moment known to be at a significant level of 5% = 0.222, which means the value of rcount = 0.407 > rtable = 0.222. Thus the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted.

No presente trabalho descrevo e analiso o debate sobre a posse de armas letais por agentes da Guarda Civil Municipal de Niterói. A partir do material construído com base na etnografia realizada, decidi por estabelecer uma análise da experiência em Niterói tomando como caso de contraste o processo de debate no Rio de Janeiro. A linha de indagação que guia este trabalho pode ser entendida como um olhar que tangencia as questões sobre o processo de militarização da instituição com a busca concomitante pelo “respeito” da população. Transformando o debate sobre o uso de armas letais pela Guarda como um fator determinante para, de um lado, fortalecer a identidade da Guarda como uma instituição civil, rompendo com os simbolismos e práticas militarizadas, e para, do outro lado, (re)construir a imagem no imaginário da população, desligando-se de uma identidade percebida e vivida pelos guardas como inferiorizada, ou, nas palavras deles, da imagem de “guardinhas”.

Published: January 2022

The article recreates the pages of history of rail transport in Siberia and the Far East in the period of acute social conflict in Russia in 1918-1922 years. The Trans-Siberian and the Chinese Eastern railway had access to the main ports of Russia in the Pacific. The Amur and Ussuri Railways were seized by white guards and interventionists who carried out punitive actions against railway workers and civilians. As a consequence of this occupation policy in Primorye, the Amur region and Transbaikalia developed guerrilla movement. The authors cite numerous facts that show that during the years of the civil war, the Railways suffered greatly, being destroyed by a number of active participants in those events – the whites, the interventionists, the guerrillas, and the People's Revolutionary army.

Meteotsunami observed in Japan following the Hunga Tonga eruption in 2022 investigated using a one-dimensional shallow-water model
Authors: Sekizawa Shion , Kohyama Tsubasa
Published: January 2022

On January 15, 2022, the volcano Hunga Tonga about 8000-km away from Japan explosively erupted. Following the eruption, tsunami-like sea-level fluctuations were observed in Japan, much earlier than expected based on the oceanic long-wave propagation from Tonga. By contrast, atmospheric pressure disturbance presumably due to the eruption was also observed about 30 minutes before the sea-level change. Therefore, the observed sea-level fluctuations can be considered as meteotsunamis forced by the pressure perturbation rather than tectonically forced by the eruption, but the mechanism is not yet fully understood.This study attempts to understand the nature of this meteotsunami by using a simple one-dimensional shallow-water model. The results show that the time and amplitude of the observed sea-level changes are consistent with the simulated sea-level changes forced by the atmospheric forcing. A set of experiments with different bathymetry profiles also reveals the importance of amplification due to near-Proudman resonance over deep basins and the shoaling effect over the continental slope, while extremely deep and narrow topography such as trenches is of second-order importance.
Climate-Catchment-Soil Control on Hydrological Droughts in Peninsular India

Published: January 2022

Most land surface system models and observational assessments ignore detailed soil characteristics while describing the drought attributes such as growth, duration, recovery, and the termination rate of the event. With the national-scale digital soil maps available for India, we assessed the climate-catchment-soil nexus using daily observed streamflow records from 98 sites in tropical rain-dominated catchments of peninsular India (8 - 25° N, 72 - 86° E). Results indicated that climate-catchment-soil properties may control hydrological drought attributes to the tune of 14-70%. While terrain features are dominant drivers for drought growth, contributing around 50% variability, soil attributes contribute ~71.5% variability in drought duration. Finally, soil and climatic factors together control the resilience and termination rate. The most relevant climate characteristics are potential evapotranspiration, soil moisture, rainfall, and temperature; temperature and soil moisture are dominant controls for streamflow drought resilience. Among different soil properties, soil organic carbon (SOC) stock could resist drought propagation, despite low-carbon soils across the Indian subcontinent. The findings highlight the need for accounting feedback among climate, soil, and topographical properties in catchment-scale drought propagations.
Parent-Child Communication, Relationship Quality, and Female Young Adult Children’s Well-Being in U.S. and Finland
Authors: Cui Ming , Janhonen-Abruquah Hille , Darling Carol A.
Published: January 2022

Parent-child communication and parent-child relationship quality could influence young adult children’s well-being. Further, the associations between parent-child communication and relationship quality and young adult children’s well-being could differ in various cultural environments. In this study, we examined the associations among these constructs and potential cultural differences with two large samples of female college students from the U.S. ( N = 393) and Finland ( N = 264). Several major findings from structural equation modeling were revealed. For the U.S. sample, better parent-child communication, but not relationship quality, was related to female young adults’ better well-being (i.e., lower levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms and higher levels of life satisfaction). For the Finnish sample, however, better parent-child relationship quality, but not communication, was related to fewer problems in female young adults’ well-being. Further model comparisons suggested that the association between parent-child communication and well-being was much stronger among American female young adult children whereas the association between parent-child relationship quality and well-being was much stronger among Finnish female young adult children. In addition, parental divorce was negatively associated with parent-child communication and parent-child relationship quality. Other covariates included young adult children’s age, living arrangements, and family income. The models revealed similar patterns for mothers and fathers. Cultural implications were discussed.

THE CONTENT OF BLENDED LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
Authors: Svyrydiuk Olha
Published: January 2022

The article analyzes the content of the blended learning model. Four key elements of blended learning have been identified, namely, full-time, digital or online learning, allowing students to control the pace, location, mode and / or timing of learning, and integrating full-time and online learning. The main components of blended learning include face-to-face meetings, online content, collaboration, evaluation, and reference materials. In blended learning, face-to-face and online learning elements work together to diversify learning, rather than simply duplicating course content in different formats. The advantages and disadvantages of blended learning, the use of optimal methods in working with freelance students have been considered. It has been noted that most blended learning programs use these four learning models: rotation, Flex model, a la carte, extended virtual model. The advantages and disadvantages of blended learning have been analyzed. The author emphasizes that video was and remains the most common technology used in blended learning. For many teachers, the use of video in a blended learning environment is the primary means of providing blended learning content. The analysis showed that the problems of blended learning include: dependence on technology, students who are not used to working independently, reducing face-to-face communication, patterned tasks. A blended approach to learning can have a huge impact on engaging and retaining student knowledge. Research has shown that “blended learning” reduces failure rates, improves learning, and increases engagement. Blended learning combines the best aspects of full-time teaching and online learning so that students can learn at their own pace. The blended learning model can help to incorporate the principle of individualization based on time, teaching methods and even personal preferences, but the introduction of the blended learning model requires major changes in teachers' perceptions of learning.
Keywords: blended learning; digital learning; distance learning; online content; online learning; laboratory rotation; individual rotation; inverted class; Flex model; a la carte.

Proceedings of the workshop on integrating reproductive tract infection case management in LGU health centers
Authors:   Population Council
Published: January 2022

This report documents the proceedings of a training workshop on reproductive tract infection (RTI) case management for physicians, nurses, and midwives in selected health centers of the Philippines. The training started with presentation of focus group discussion results emphasizing existing beliefs and perceptions of the community regarding RTIs. The results of the situation analysis served as an eye opener for many in that clients with RTI-related symptoms were found to be rather rare and not systematically managed in the health clinics. Many providers report that since they are not trained to handle such cases, they refer whoever comes with symptoms to the hospital or to private practitioners. The open forum sessions revealed preconceived notions and initial confusion regarding RTI management held by service providers. Participants were trained in history taking, physical examination, and management of RTIs. To guide service providers on giving appropriate messages to the client and the community, sessions on integrated RTI/FP counseling and community awareness were included. Training of service providers in RTI management is the first of several components of the RTI integration study.
Getting men involved in family planning: Experiences from an innovative program
Authors:   Directorate of Family Planning,   National Institute of Population Research and Training,   Population Council
Published: January 2022

This study was designed to determine the effect of interventions on accelerated proactive male involvement in family planning (FP) and factors influencing acceptance of male contraceptive methods. It was observed that a program can be successful if management cadres can be motivated and involved in the process. Other findings suggest the importance of education and communication materials, supply of information, orientation of fieldworkers, and mobilization of resources including hands-on refresher training. Misconceptions about male contraception (particularly vasectomy) are rampant in traditional Bangladeshi society, thus ideas should be positively expressed through visual aids. Among the various communications materials, at least one must be for service providers. According to this report, motivation is important in getting men involved in FP, as are efforts to create a male-friendly service delivery system at existing service delivery centers. Specially scheduled hours should be set aside for the provision of information and services to men, from the Health and Family Welfare Centers and at the community level.
A Collaborative Approach to Assuring Standards: Using the CEFR to Benchmark University Pathway Programs’ English Language Outcomes
Authors: Roche Thomas , Booth Sara
Published: January 2022

The past decade has witnessed growing interest in Higher Education (HE) achievement standards and the comparability of program learning outcomes. The HE sector has historically focused on assuring academic standards through two key approaches: standardized educational testing and external peer review of assessment. Both approaches are resource and time intensive. In particular, the English Language Teaching (ELT) sector, which provides international students with Direct Entry (DE) pathways to English medium university study, has been predominately focused on high stakes English language testing. Commercially available tests enable providers to demonstrate clear evidence of ELT DE program standards in terms of internationally recognised scores. English language tests, however, represent only one type of external reference point for assuring standards. This paper provides an overview of a sector-led, collaborative approach to external review of assessment across 20 Australian university operated DE English programs. Twenty-eight ELT units were benchmarked by sixty individual assessors using consensus moderation against the newly expanded Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), a validated language proficiency framework. This case study demonstrates that collaborative benchmarking using the updated CEFR can effectively ensure DE ELT program standards to the benefit of staff and students globally.
„Vater Staat“: ein vorhersehbares Comeback. Staatsverständnis und Staatstätigkeit in der Moderne
Authors: Schimank Uwe
Published: January 2022

Die theoretische Reflexion der Staatstätigkeit, die ich im vorliegenden Beitrag präsentieren möchte, stellt einen für moderne Staatlichkeit konstitutiven funktionalen Antagonismus heraus. Ein funktionaler Antagonismus ist ein strukturiertes Gegeneinander von Handlungsorientierungen und -wirkungen, das sich aber trotz aller Konflikthaftigkeit nicht destruktiv, sondern produktiv auswirkt. In der im ersten Teil anzusprechenden historischen Semantik der Moderne stellt sich der funktionale Antagonismus als Gegeneinander eines reduktionistischen und eines emergentistischen Staatsverständnisses dar. Diese Beschaffenheit des Denkens und Redens über den Staat ist eine wichtige Prägung der Staatstätigkeit. Ihre strukturelle Prägung erhält sie allerdings daraus, dass – wie ich im zweiten Teil erörtern werde – der moderne Staat Teil einer zugleich funktional differenzierten und kapitalistischen Gesellschaft ist. Deshalb unterliegt die Staatstätigkeit einem funktionalen Antagonismus von demokratischem Staat und Steuerstaat.
Die richtige Aufführung auf der falschen Bühne? Das Bundesverfassungsgericht und die Politisierung der europäischen Integration
Authors: Auberger Tobias , Lamping Wolfram
Published: January 2022

Das Bundesverfassungsgericht hatte mit seinem Urteil zur Klage gegen den Lissabon-Vertrag zwar am EU-Reformwerk selbst wenig auszusetzen, umso mehr jedoch am Umgang von Bundestag und Bundesrat mit diesem. Der Artikel untersucht den Ratifizierungsprozess im Hinblick auf die Frage, inwieweit die erzwungene Revision des Begleitgesetzes den Prozess der schleichenden Selbstentpflichtung des Parlaments zugunsten der Exekutive unterbrochen hat. Dabei wird argumentiert, dass das Urteil des Verfassungsgerichts neue Punkte strategischer Unsicherheit in die deutsche Europapolitik eingeführt hat: Zum einen ist zu erwarten, dass durch die multiplen Parlamentsvorbehalte einer Politisierung europäischer Verfassungspolitik im Bundestag der Weg bereitet worden ist, die sich in Kontestierbarkeit und gesteigerten Rechtfertigungsbedarfen äußert. Zum anderen kann jedoch auch davon ausgegangen werden, dass die den Regierungsvertretern tatsächlich angelegten europapolitischen Zügel „elastisch“ ausfallen werden und die Position des Bundesverfassungsgerichts als Hüter über die europäische Integration gestärkt worden ist.
Freiwillige Regulierung zwischen Staat und Markt: Der Deutsche Corporate Governance-Kodex (DCGK)
Authors: Töller Annette Elisabeth
Published: January 2022

Vor dem Hintergrund der aktuellen Diskussion über die Managervergütung und die Vorstandshaftung betrachtet der Aufsatz den 2002 verabschiedeten und seither kontinuierlich weiterentwickelten Deutschen Corporate Governance Kodex (DCGK) als besonders interes¬santes Beispiel für freiwillige Regulierung. Dabei untersucht er die Regulierungsmuster, also die Art der Regulierung und ihrer Verlinkung mit dem Gesetzesrecht, er fragt nach den Ursachen für die Verwendung freiwilliger (statt gesetzlicher) Regulierung, untersucht, inwiefern die Regelung tatsächlich im Schatten der Hierarchie oder des Marktes steht, und betrachtet schließlich den Erfolg der Regelung. Letztlich geht es auch darum, ob und wie der Staat in solchen Arrangements in Erscheinung tritt.
Wessen loyale Diener? Wie die Große Koalition die deutsche Ministerialbürokratie veränderte
Authors: Ebinger Falk , Jochheim Linda
Published: January 2022

Dieser Beitrag präsentiert die Befunde der Elitestudie Politisch-Administrative Elite 2009 (PAE 2009) über Zusammensetzung und Politisierung der bundesdeutschen Verwaltungseliten. Diese dritte nationale Replikation der Comparative Elite Studies bringt überraschende Entwicklungen unter der großen Koalition 2005-2009 ans Licht: Die Zahl der bekennenden Parteimitglieder fiel stark, dagegen stieg die funktionale Politisierung der Akteure sowie die Akzeptanz illoyalen Verhaltens gegenüber einer Regierung deutlich. Bedeutet dies den Abschied von den letzten Überbleibseln des weberianischen Idealbildes eines loyalen Beamtentums?
Brain Age Difference at Baseline Predicts Clinical Dementia Rating Change in Approximately Two Years
Authors: Tseng Wen-Yih Isaac , Hsu Yung-Chin , Kao Te-Wei
Published: January 2022

Background: The Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) has been widely used to assess dementia severity, but it is limited in predicting dementia progression, thus unable to advise preventive measures to those who are at high risk. Objective: Predicted age difference (PAD) was proposed to predict CDR change. Methods: All diffusion magnetic resonance imaging and CDR scores were obtained from the OASIS-3 databank. A brain age model was trained by a machine learning algorithm using the imaging data of 258 cognitively healthy adults. Two diffusion indices, i.e., mean diffusivity and fractional anisotropy, over the whole brain white matter were extracted to serve as the features for model training. The validated brain age model was applied to a longitudinal cohort of 217 participants who had CDR = 0 (CDR0), 0.5 (CDR0.5), and 1 (CDR1) at baseline. Participants were grouped according to different baseline CDR and their subsequent CDR in approximately 2 years of follow-up. PAD was compared between different groups with multiple comparison correction. Results: PADs were significantly different among participants with different baseline CDRs. PAD in participants with relatively stable CDR0.5 was significantly smaller than PAD in participants who had CDR0.5 at baseline but converted to CDR1 in the follow-up. Similarly, participants with relatively stable CDR0 had significantly smaller PAD than those who were CDR0 at baseline but converted to CDR0.5 in the follow-up. Conclusion: Our results imply that PAD might be a potential imaging biomarker for predicting CDR outcomes in patients with CDR0 or CDR0.5.
Neurophysiological Correlates of Motor and Cognitive Dysfunction in Prodromal and Overt Dementia with Lewy Bodies

Published: January 2022

Background: The neurophysiological correlates of cognitive and motor symptoms in prodromal and overt dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) are still to be elucidated. Objective: To evaluate if cognitive and motor features of patients with prodromal and overt DLB are associated with the impairment of specific neurotransmitter circuits, evaluated in vivo with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Methods: Fifty-one patients with DLB (twenty-five prodromal; twenty-six with dementia) underwent neuropsychological and clinical evaluation, with twenty-five patients having at least one follow-up evaluation. All patients were assessed with TMS at baseline, with protocols assessing cholinergic circuits (short latency afferent inhibition, SAI), GABAergic circuits (short interval intracortical inhibition, SICI), and glutamatergic circuits (intracortical facilitation, ICF). Results: Compared to HC, SICI, ICF, and SAI resulted significantly impaired in both prodromal and overt DLB, with the latter showing a reduced SICI and SAI also compared to prodromal DLB. There was a significant correlation between motor deficits, evaluated with the UPDRS-III, and the impairment of GABAergic (SICI) (r = 0.729, p < 0.001) and glutamatergic (ICF) (r –0.608, p < 0.001) circuits; global cognition, evaluated with the Mini-Mental State Examination, correlated with the impairment of cholinergic (SAI) circuits (r=–0.738, p < 0.001). Worsening of cognitive functions at follow-up was associated with reduced cholinergic functions at baseline (R2 = 0.53, p < 0.001). Conclusion: These results suggest that motor and cognitive dysfunctions in prodromal and overt DLB depend on specific and independent neurotransmitter circuits.
