Authors: Adinda Sekar Khalishah , Ariyanti Nunik Sri , Dorly Dorly
Published: September 2023

The diversity of forage plant species for elephants can be analyzed by observing the anatomy of undigested plant fragments in the fecal. This study aims to identify forage plants from the fecal samples of Sumatran elephant in Way Kambas National Park. The research methods include collected fecal samples at Way Kambas National Park, prepared slide microscope of epidermis of the plant fragments using the whole mount method, observed the anatomical characters and identified the plant fragments based on data from previous studies and reference. The results obtained 34 types of epidermis which were differentiated based on the characteristics of epidermal cell, stomata and trichomes. These epidermis types were used to identify the plants forage by Sumatran elephants. We found leaf fragment of four families, namely Arecaceae, Cyperaceae, Poaceae and Zingiberaceae. The most common fragments found in the fecal samples were the leaf fragments of Poaceae (28 type epidermis). Anatomical study on the plant fragments in fecal can be used as an alternative method in studying plants consumed by elephant.

Authors: Vargas Camaño María Eugenia , Buendía López Yareli Odemaris , Garcés Flores Homero , Guzmán Vázquez Silvia
Published: September 2023

Objective: To understand the patient’s journey with HAE from symptom initiation to diagnosis, treatment allocation, follow-up, and the impact of the disease on their quality of life in Mexico.
Methods: A survey was administered to the patients with HAE. Participants completed a questionnaire covering five domains: patient journey; effects on productivity, school performance and daily activities; quality of life; anxiety and depression. Responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
Results: A total of 17 surveys were analyzed (15 women and 2 men, age range: 23-67 years). Type I HAE was most common (71%), normal C1 inhibitor HAE was 12% and 18% did not know their HAE type. The average disease evolution was 13.7 years and the time from symptom initiation to diagnosis was 20 years. 59% of patients knew of one or two treatments available, 12% knew 3 treatments and 18% were aware of 4 or more, 12% were not aware of any treatments. 53% had a job, 18% referred a severely anxious state, 41% were depressed and all patients referred some social impact due to HAE.
Conclusions: There is a need to reinforce the knowledge of general practitioners on HAE to promote an earlier diagnosis and awareness of rare diseases and their impact on quality of life among the general population and promote the removal of barriers to treatment.

Authors: Sehn Paulo André , Pina Daniel , Pappas Fernando
Published: September 2023

Considerando a necessidade de modernização do Setor Elétrico Brasileiro e os efeitos colaterais dos mecanismos de adequação de suprimento vigentes no Brasil, este artigo sugere um desenho de mecanismo que alinha incentivos dos geradores para a confiabilidade do sistema. Neste desenho com premissas e parâmetros aderentes à matriz brasileira, os geradores passam a ofertar num leilão centralizado opções de confiabilidade acionadas apenas na situação de escassez do sistema cuja contraparte contratual são os consumidores. Propõe-se neste
artigo um modelo racional de oferta dos geradores em leilão que considera os incentivos para participação de geradores existentes e novos, com ou sem contrato vinculante. Para emular efeitos da adoção de um mecanismo de opção de confiabilidade no Brasil, projetam-se curvas de oferta por fonte e a curva resultante no SIN baseadas em dados históricos de geração e de preço spot.

A alimentação, enquanto forma de explorar e experimentar o mundo, é
uma habilidade complexa, que engloba inúmeros fatores, como as
relações parentais, preferências pessoais, a fase de vida, os hábitos
alimentares familiares, condições de saúde, contexto sociocultural, o
nível de desenvolvimento, aspectos orofaciais e também o
Processamento Sensorial. Na primeira infância, a recusa de
determinados alimentos é considerada um comportamento típico desta
fase, porém, se caso persistam e aumentem de intensidade, podem ser
caracterizados como problemas alimentares. Os termos mais utilizados na literatura são Seletividade Alimentar (SA) e Dificuldades Alimentares (DA). Esta pesquisa trata-se de um estudo preliminar, de abordagem quantitativa, sobre a ocorrência de problemas alimentares
em crianças com Disfunção de Integração Sensorial. Os locais de
pesquisa foram escolhidos por conveniência, nas clínicas privadas em
que as pesquisadoras trabalham, localizadas nas cidades Manaus (AM)
e João Pessoa (PB). Participaram dessa pesquisa trinta crianças, de
ambos os sexos, de dois a seis anos e onze meses, que apresentam
Disfunção de Integração Sensorial. Com este estudo, foi possível
constatar que as Disfunções de Integração Sensorial apresentam
correlação com os problemas alimentares, contudo, foi identificado que
algumas DIS têm maior impacto no processo alimentar, observando
maior prevalência nas falhas de modulação em detrimento das de
discriminação e práxis. Assim, se faz necessário o Terapeuta
Ocupacional na composição da equipe interdisciplinar no tratamento de
crianças que apresentam problemas alimentares, tendo em vista ser o
profissional habilitado para intervir e direcionar nos problemas de
Integração Sensorial.

A Terapia Ocupacional é descrita como o campo da ciência preocupado
com a aplicação prática das ocupações. O foco desta prática é facilitar
a participação dos indivíduos nas suas tarefas experimentais e nos seus
diversos ambientes, reabilitar e aumentar as capacidades da pessoa
com ou sem deficiência, fornecer autonomia e independência aos
clientes que têm dificuldade de exercer sua participação ou execução
de seus papéis ocupacionais. Na prática da Terapia Ocupacional, a
Integração Sensorial tem sido utilizada para orientar a avaliação e
posterior intervenção com crianças que possuem dificuldades no
processamento de informações sensoriais, uma vez que estas
dificuldades restringem a participação nas suas Atividades da Vida
Diária (AVDs). Este estudo tem como objetivo entender como os pais
percebem a contribuição da intervenção da Terapia de Integração Sensorial para o desenvolvimento de seus filhos na execução das
AVDs. Esta pesquisa caracteriza-se como uma pesquisa de natureza
básica com abordagem quantitativa e amostra por conveniência. Para a
coleta de dados, utilizou-se um questionário com dez questões,
produzido pelas autoras, através do Google Forms, para verificar qual
a percepção dos pais/cuidadores acerca da contribuição da Terapia de
Integração Sensorial para a realização das AVDs por seus filhos. A
partir da análise dos dados, conclui-se que a maioria dos pais que
participou do estudo observou melhoras significativas na realização das
Atividades de Vida Diária, principalmente no que se refere ao
autocuidado, mas também obtendo influências positivas na alimentação
e vestuário. Dessa forma, pode-se afirmar que a Terapia de Integração
Sensorial assume um papel fundamental no tratamento e intervenção de
crianças com alguma Disfunção de Integração Sensorial,
principalmente crianças dentro do Transtorno do Espectro Autista,
assumindo 90% das amostras utilizadas na pesquisa.

Effectiveness of project-based learning in a junior high science classroom
Authors: McKinney Leena
Published: September 2023

Project-based learning (PjBL) is an instructional approach that promotes active participation and helps students develop their skills and knowledge through engaging in real-world problems or situations. The success of PjBL is dependent on a well-defined method or plan, such as the 21st-century project learning bicycle model or the engineering design model, both of which emphasize the importance of teacher-student relationships. PjBL can be used in any class size and has shown to be effective in building 21st-century skills and deepening students’ understanding of the learning content through real-world experiences. PjBL can be successfully integrated into STEM subjects, and research has shown positive changes in student perceptions, self-efficacy, critical thinking, experimentation, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. Case studies and research have demonstrated PjBL’s effectiveness, including the successful implementation of an 8th-grade integrated science photosynthesis unit in a suburban charter school. Overall, PjBL provides an effective teaching approach that prepares students for success in the 21st-century through hands-on learning experiences.

The rapid development of wireless network technology has an impact with a significant increase of users. Wi-Fi is one of the wireless technologies that is currently used widely by humans as a medium of transmission to exchange information. The increasing in the number of users is directly proportional to the increase the risk of crime occurring. In this case an attack on a Wi-Fi network aimed at taking certain advantage of the user or it’s victim was done by threatening aspects of information security. Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS) is a tool used to detect intrusions that occur against wireless network technology, one of it is Wi-Fi into the form of logs. Kismet is one of the wids that is free and opensource with complete WiFi attack detection capability. The implementation of WIDS Kismet applied to Raspberry Pi 4 was shown as an alternative wids device that has a low cost for use in small Wi-Fi network environments such as home networks or small enterprise. The analysis is done by calculating the performance of accuracy, precision, recall, and f-measure values from the implementation results using confusion matrix method. The result of the calculation obtained by the highest value for each calculated performance with 99.83% accuracy, 97.96% precision, 100% recall, and 98.9% fmeasure. The calculation aims to provide information that can be utilized for users who want to do a similar implementation and use it to detect Wi-Fi networks.
Data Mining berbasis Nearest Neighbor dan Seleksi Fitur untuk Deteksi Kanker Payudara
Authors: Setiawan Yohanes
Published: September 2023

Detecting breast cancer in early stage is not straightforward. This happens because biopsy test requires time to determine whether the type is benign or malignant. Data mining algorithm has been widely used to automate diagnosis of a disease. One of popular algorithms is nearest neighbor based because of its simplicity and low computation. However, too many features can cause low accuracy in nearest neighbor based models. In this research, nearest neighbor based with feature selection is developed to detect breast cancer.  Conventional k-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) and Multi Local Means k-Harmonic Nearest Neighbor have been chosen as nearest neighbor based models to experiment. The feature selection method used in this study is filter based, namely Correlation based, Information Gain, and ReliefF. The experimental result shows that the highest recall metric of MLM-KHNN and Information Gain is 94% with 5 features. In brief, MLM-KHNN algorithm with Information Gain can increase the recall of the prediction of breast cancer compared with the conventional K-NN algorithm and have been deployed into website using Streamlit such that the model can be used to detect breast cancer from chosen Wisconsin dataset features.
“Even the apocalypse isn’t the end”: Emotional Numbness and the Reconstruction of Interpersonal Bonding in Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah’s Friday Black
Authors: Villamarín-Freire Sara
Published: September 2023

This essay examines the role of waste as a categorizing mechanism in the formation of storyworlds in two of the short stories featured in Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah’s Friday Black (2018), “The Era” and “Through the Flash.” These two stories “waste” is a category defined according to the internal rules that govern their respective storyworlds, and in this case it arguably takes inspiration from preexisting classifications that have shaped, and continue to shape, the Black experience in the US under (late) capitalism. Analyzing how the relation between emotions, interpersonal bonding, and waste is constructed in each story, the essay demonstrates that understanding the power of waste as a classifying device helps shed light on mechanisms of oppression, which could contribute to dismantling the resulting classifications as well.

Going Viral: The Media Anthropology of the “Quarantine Subject” in the Context of Biopolitics and Psychopolitics
Authors: Nemes Márió Z.
Published: September 2023

This essay explores the outlines of the “quarantine subject,” a construct that has formed along the borderlines of viral, immunological, psychopolitical, and biopolitical metaphors. The focus is grounded in media archeology and media anthropology. Under media anthropology lies a basically German philosophical anthropological tradition that explores the convergence of biological and cultural dimensions. Helmuth Plessner and Arnold Gehlen have only recently been rediscovered in the English-speaking world.1 Hans Belting, for one, has elaborated a triple image anthropology that uses the triad of picture–medium–body in the interpretation of various aesthetic paradigms. This essay maps the convergence between the three dimensions emphasized by Belting and the digital-virtual turn driven by, among other factors, the COVID–19 pandemic and the ensuing lockdowns. The goal is the elaboration of a speculative “quarantine subjectivity model,” one that is determined by geographical and social factors, such as Internet access and technological integration, as well as a relatively “moderate” degree of quarantine measures.

REPRESENTAÇÃO ANIMAL EM TEXTOS EM PROSA: CONSIDERAÇÕES FEITAS A PARTIR DE EM BUSCA DE WATERSHIP DOWN
Authors: Saraiva Jefferson
Published: September 2023

O artigo é uma investigação sobre a representação de animais em textos literários. De forma mais específica, trata-se da formulação do animal no romance Em Busca de Watership Down (2017, publicado originalmente em 1972 como Watership Down) do escritor Richard Adams. A partir de estudos sobre a obra em relevo e à luz da zooliteratura, afirma-se que a busca pela autenticidade na representação literária da animalidade implica tanto na busca de textos científicos quanto no emprego criativo da linguagem. Por fim, sugere-se que tal modelo possa vir a auxiliar a leitura de outros textos em prosa que representem animais.

Two Paradigms of Pedagogy. A Phenomenological Enquiry of Education, to Recognise it as a Praxis of Hope

Using a phenomenological approach, the paper starts with the idea, that culture has come to an end. How could education react on this situation? In answering that question two paradigms of education were identified, one is called the optimistic-pessimistic, which tends to understand education as tradition. The other one accepts the disrupture of culture and insists on education as a cooperative praxis of children and educators, which gains an internal dynamic as a real basis of hope for future.
ANALYSIS OF THE MICRO PROFILE FORMATION OF MACHINE ELEMENT SURFACES AT MACHINING STAGES AND RUNNING-IN CONDITIONS OF BOUNDARY FRICTION
Authors: Fedorov Vladimir , Nagorkin Maksim , Smolentsev Evgeny , Kovaleva Elena
Published: September 2023

An approach is proposed which is based on the theory of random processes and which allows carrying out an objective comparative analysis of the results of forming of surface roughness profiles of sliding friction joint elements both after machining and during operational run-in. The research relevance is determined by the task of forming a surface roughness profile by various technological methods, which corresponds to or is close to the operational one formed during the running-in of the sliding friction joint elements, that would allow manufacturing products which would start operating in conditions close to normal wear. The studies evaluate the influence of technological factors on forming roughness profiles by turning options and round grinding methods followed by surface plastic deformation by diamond smoothing, electromechanical machining, etc., as well as the influence of the run-in processes carried out on the test bench. A qualitative assessment of the forms of amplitude-frequency characteristics of models forming element surfaces is accepted as the identity criterion of processes forming microprofiles of element surfaces. The paper presents a method of experimental verification of the surface roughness profile for stationarity and ergodicity, which can be used to analyze other random sequences appearing in the practice of tribotechnological research. The construction of autocorrelation functions of the surface roughness profile before and after running-in makes it possible to find out the influence of technological heredity on forming a microprofile while surface machining and running-in of parts. The calculation of indicators to evaluate the theoretical spectral densities of roughness profiles and the construction of amplitude-frequency characteristics of forming surface roughness by various technological methods and during run-in allows choosing an effective method of machining parts, which significantly reduces the run-in time of sliding friction pairs. Studies have shown that surface plastic deformation should be used as the finishing treatment of parts, which allows to obtain a roughness profile of sliding friction surfaces close to the operational one.
“When We Come to Your Class … We Feel Not Like We're in Prison”: Resisting Prison-School’s Dehumanizing and (De)Socializing Mechanisms Through Abolitionist Praxis
Authors: Annamma Subini A. , Cabral Brian , Harvey Brianna , Wilmot Jennifer M. , Le Annie , Morgan Jamelia
Published: September 2023

Education research increasingly conceptualizes how social interactions and contexts of public schools replicate practices found in prisons. Yet prison-schooling is often left out of education research. Concurrently, prison-schooling is where we educate a disproportionate amount of multiply marginalized youth, specifically disabled Girls of Color. The lack of attention to prison-schools has limited how teaching in youth carceral facilities can be examined for its challenges and supports of disabled Girls of Color. Centering the girls’ words from class observations, field notes, and interviews, this study describes and intervenes in dehumanizing and (de)socializing mechanisms in prison-school education. We explore attempts and impacts of countering prison-school education through a sociocritical literacy course infused with an abolitionist praxis. We end with discussion on the limits of countering prison-school through courses alone, suggesting abolition across multiple scales instead.
Machine learning empowered prediction of geolocation using groundwater quality variables over YSR district of India
Authors: MOGARAJU Jagadish Kumar
Published: September 2023

Machine Learning (ML) has been used in the prediction of geolocation with improved accuracies in this work. The pre-processed data was subjected to prediction analytics using 22 machine learning algorithms over regression mode. It was observed that Extra Trees Regressor performed well with better accuracies in predicting latitude, longitude, and Haversine distance, respectively. Regression models like CatBoost, Extreme Gradient boosting, Light Gradient boosting machine, and Gradient boosting regressor were also tested. The R2 values were computed for each case, and we obtained 0.96 (Longitude), 0.98 (Latitude), and 0.96 (Haversine), respectively. The evaluation of models was done using metrics like MAE, MASE, RMSE, R2, RMSLE, and MAPE and R2 is considered most important than others. The effect of data point was calculated using Cooks’ distance, and the variable fluoride has a significant impact on the prediction accuracy of Longitude followed by RSC, Cl, SO4, SAR, NO3, NA, Ca, EC and pH variables. In the prediction of latitude, the SAR variable played a significant role, followed by Na and TH. According to the t-SNE manifold, three longitude values were quite different from the others. This work is supported by some of the manifests like Cooks’ distance outlier detection, feature importance plot, t-SNE manifold, prediction error plot, residuals plot, RFECV plot, and validation curve. This work is done to report that the challenge of predicting both latitude and longitude on a common ground is solved partially, if not completely, and machine learning tools can be used for this purpose. Haversine distance can be obtained from latitude and longitude and can be used in the prediction of geolocation.

Published: September 2023

The purpose of the current study is to examine how consumers' preference-buying behaviours are influenced by their level of expertise and, ultimately, if preference-buying results in post-purchase pleasure. We conduct an empirical analysis based on the views of green product users. For our case study, we take organic foods into account. Environment protection has received more attention in recent years. Organizations have therefore placed a strong emphasis on creating green products. Consumer behaviour has changed in relation to green items as well. One of the focal points for strategic organisational decision-making has been green marketing. However, it is crucial to ask about how consumer behaviour is changing in this setting. In this study, we aim to find out answers to the following research questions such as: Are the customers be satisfied after purchasing the green products? Are the expertise level (EL) of the consumers is compelling for preference buying behaviour (PBB)? Is EL is acting as the predecessor of PBB? RQ4: Does PBB meets with post-purchase satisfaction (PPS) of the consumers? RQ5: Is gender acting as an influencer in the relationship of EL, PBB and PPS? 104 individuals from a variety of demographic backgrounds took part in our survey. To test our ideas, we discover the Kendall's tau-b and Somers'd. The link between EL, PBB, and PPS is supported by statistical analysis results. Additionally, we see that the link between EL, PBB, and PPS is influenced by women's gender.

Purpose: China is a middle-income developing country that is aging rapidly. Speech-language pathology (SLP) is a developing field in China. The article aimed to provide a brief overview of the current status of SLP in China.Method: In the past 40 years, thousands of researchers and clinicians in China have made extraordinary and outstanding contributions to the area. The authors consulted many therapists practicing as speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in China, summarised their work experience, and conducted a literature search in two major Standard-Chinese-based databases, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang Data. Result: The authors listed the achievements and barriers in the field of SLP in China. Favorable recommendations and the potential for improvement through the continued endeavors of researchers, clinicians, educators, governments, and other related organizations were presented.Conclusions: The field of SLP has substantially developed in the past 40 years, mainly attributable to the concerted efforts of researchers, clinicians, and educators. Despite this progress, several challenges confront SLPs in China, including the need for more educational programs, a shortage of practicing professionals, insufficient research evidence and tools, and unclear scope of practice.
The interplay of gender and class in social judgment across different cultural levels of (gender) inequality
Authors: Weißflog Marie Isabelle , Grigoryan Lusine , Hofmann Wilhelm
Published: September 2023

To reduce social injustice, we need to understand the social dimensions behind these issues, like gender, race/ethnicity, or class. Class and its intersections are relatively understudied in social psychology. We examine how class (operationalized as education, income, and occupational status) and gender shape person evaluation across different cultures. We present results from a factorial survey experiment in eight countries (Armenia, Australia, Brazil, Germany, India, Russia, UK, US) with different gender norms and levels of inequality. Women gained more approval for high education and income than men, and men lost more approval for low income and occupational status than women. In countries with conservative gender norms, these differences were stronger – men also lost more approval for low educational status as conservative gender norms increased. General inequality also impacted status- and gender-based evaluations. Our findings show that gender and class interact in shaping interpersonal attitudes, and this relationship differs across cultures. Keywords: Social Class, Intersectionality, Prejudice, Gender Role Attitudes, Economic Inequality

This model is developed for the cases of fixed and random demand at destinations of finished products.
Unpacking the ECHO Telementoring Model®: A Tool to Strategically Connect and Support Special Educators
Authors: Hirsch Shanna E. , Qualls Logan W.
Published: September 2023

Special educators must be prepared to meet the diverse needs of their students, yet they have few opportunities to collaborate with others in similar roles or receive targeted professional development. Therefore, practices that intentionally sustain special educators are needed. Such experiences have existed in the professional development world through learning communities and case-based learning. The core components of both models are featured in a relatively new method for supporting practitioners. In this article, the authors provide an overview of the ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) Model® as a mechanism to support special educators. The ECHO Model® addresses many of the shortcomings in professional development and the special education workforce (i.e., isolated teachers with limited opportunities to collaborate) by strategically building a community of practice.

This article gives a brief account of the two-hundred-year-old performance history of Hamlet at Elsinore Castle; this is followed by a discussion of Gertrude as portrayed in nine English or English-speaking Hamlets at Elsinore, beginning with Olivier and the Old Vic in 1937 and concluding with Cape Town Theatre Company eighty-five years later, in 2022. The article discusses different aspects of how Gertrude (as seen through the prism of these particular Hamlet productions) has been portrayed on stage, drawing attention to the fact that, particularly in productions with a star actor in the title role, Gertrude has often been neglected, ignored or marginalised by the director, or else objectified and sexualised for the benefit of the audience: aged down, dumbed down or otherwise commodified.
Varieties of Electoral Integrity Risk: Protecting Elections in Brazil - Case study
Authors: Tarouco Gabriela
Published: September 2023

This case study examines several kinds of risks to electoral integrity present in Brazil and the role that the Electoral Justice plays in preventing and combating them. Brazil’s capacity to confront risks and threats, and the limits thereof, relate to the institutional design of its electoral governance. This provides total autonomy from government and political parties while concentrating electoral management and electoral adjudication functions in the same institution (the Electoral Justice). Institutional risks are fully addressed in the risk management policy, while some electoral risks remain beyond the control of the electoral institution. This case study addresses the two kinds of risks, describing in each case the preventive policies as well as occasions on which some risks have materialized as threats. The paper also highlights some crisis management procedures in particular timely communication and proactive tools. Finally, the study concludes with some lessons learned and challenges to be faced.

Sol-gel is an excellent antibacterial agent carrier. Different researchers incorporated various antibacterial substances, including silver nitrate (AgNO3), quarternary ammonium chloride (QAC), and titanium dioxide (TiO2) in sol-gel. However, there is limited study on the influence of pH and acid hydrolysis time (ageing) to form sol-gel. Besides, few investigations have been made on the influence of fabric structure and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) incorporation into fabrics by the sol-gel method. This study also compared the light and heavy fabrics in terms of sol-gel application and the advantages of sol-gel over other AgNPs incorporation methods. The sol-gel-AgNPs incorporated fabric samples were characterized by Ultra Violet Spectroscopy (UV-VIS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and Energy Dispersion spectroscopy (EDS). For AgNPs synthesis in a green way, we used Calendula arvensis, a Mediterranean weed. This study found, that for sol-gel formation the minimum acid hydrolysis time was 5.30 hours, 6.30 hours, and 8.00 hours at 60 ºC, 25 ºC, and 3 ºC, respectively. After ageing, a minuscule amount of alkaline was needed for gelation. Seven different methods for incorporating AgNPs through sol-gel have been illustrated. The lower molarity of AgNO3, having a more significant portion in the sol-gel solution, had excellent antibacterial activity and wash fastness. Besides, the ex-situ method was better than the in-situ method. Among different types of cotton fabric, lightweight knit fabric showed much better antibacterial activity than heavier twill fabric.
Identifying perspectives of adults who stutter on therapeutic alliance in stuttering intervention
Authors: Byrne Emma , Connery Amy
Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND: Despite acknowledgement by various stakeholders that therapeutic alliance (TA) is an essential component of stuttering intervention, a comprehensive understanding of this concept is lacking in the field of speech and language therapy. There continues to be a significant gap in our knowledge regarding what adults who stutter (AWS) perceive to be the qualities and activities required by both themselves and the speech and language therapist (SLT) to facilitate an effective TA. Collection of such knowledge will support the establishment and maintenance of positive TA in clinical contexts and enhance treatment outcomes for those who stutter. OBJECTIVE: To explore the perspectives of AWS on the meaning of TA and the variables that influence its establishment and maintenance. METHODS: Semi-structured interviews were completed with eight AWS. The interview questions centred on three key topics: the conceptualisation of TA through the perspective of AWS; the activities and personal qualities of the SLT that influence TA; and the activities and personal qualities of the AWS that influence TA. RESULTS: Reflexive thematic analysis identified two overarching themes: ‘Recognising stuttering in a biopsychosocial context in order to enhance therapeutic alliance’ and ‘Person-related variables influencing therapeutic alliance’. In addition, five subthemes were identified which further illuminated each overarching theme. CONCLUSIONS: Findings of this study highlight the benefit of collecting patient-based evidence to support our understanding of TA. Results demonstrate the complexity of TA in stuttering intervention, and the impact that person-related variables have on its quality.

Background:

Cognitive decline is a key outcome of clinical studies in Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Objective:

To determine effects of global amyloid load as well as hippocampus and basal forebrain volumes on longitudinal rates and practice effects from repeated testing of domain specific cognitive change in the AD spectrum, considering non-linear effects and heterogeneity across cohorts.

Methods:

We included 1,514 cases from three cohorts, ADNI, AIBL, and DELCODE, spanning the range from cognitively normal people to people with subjective cognitive decline and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). We used generalized Bayesian mixed effects analysis of linear and polynomial models of amyloid and volume effects in time. Robustness of effects across cohorts was determined using Bayesian random effects meta-analysis.

Results:

We found a consistent effect of amyloid and hippocampus volume, but not of basal forebrain volume, on rates of memory change across the three cohorts in the meta-analysis. Effects for amyloid and volumetric markers on executive function were more heterogeneous. We found practice effects in memory and executive performance in amyloid negative cognitively normal controls and MCI cases, but only to a smaller degree in amyloid positive controls and not at all in amyloid positive MCI cases.

Conclusions:

We found heterogeneity between cohorts, particularly in effects on executive functions. Initial increases in cognitive performance in amyloid negative, but not in amyloid positive MCI cases and controls may reflect practice effects from repeated testing that are lost with higher levels of cerebral amyloid.

Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND: Biocompatibility describes the influence of materials on their biological environment. Implant material in the human body can cause a foreign body reaction and the formation of a capsule around the foreign material. Since capsular formation is the most frequent issue after breast-implant insertion, knowledge and awareness of biocompatibility is crucial, especially since worldwide, breast augmentation continues to be the most popular plastic surgery, with over 1.6 million procedures performed in 2020, according to surveys by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS). MATERIAL AND METHODS: This study includes 80 capsular samples of female patients who underwent revision surgery after breast-implant insertion at the University Hospital Regensburg. Capsules of breast implants with different surface structures (smooth, textured and polyurethane-coated) and shapes (round-shaped, anatomically-shaped) were analyzed histologically after hematoxylin-eosin-staining in respect to capsular thickness and layer formation. RESULTS: Capsular thickness and layering showed a statistically significant difference between polyurethane-coated and smooth as well as polyurethane-coated and textured implants. Capsules around polyurethane-coated implants presented greater thickness. However, the difference between smooth and textured implants was not statistically significant. Furthermore, the shape of the implants also indicated a statistically significant difference in capsular thickness. Implants of anatomical shape resulted in a thinner capsule than round-shaped breast-implants. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, this study demonstrated a thicker capsule around polyurethane-coated breast implants and no difference in capsular thickness between smooth and textured breast implants. Anatomically shaped breast-implants presented a thinner capsule than round shaped breast-implants.
