Caregivers of Stroke Survivors’ Perspectives on Stressful Caregiver Activities
Authors: Thomas Mary , Watson Julie 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Date Presented 03/26/20
The purpose of this phenomenological study was to gain insight into the caregiver stress experience when assisting with activities of daily living (ADL) for a person with a stroke. Caregivers reported physical and emotional or psychological stressors related to providing ADL assistance during the occupation of caregiving and requested more support at home. OT practitioners are uniquely suited to address the support needs of caregivers and have the potential to make a positive impact on their lives.

Authors: Grattan Emily , Hart Emerson 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Date Presented 03/26/20
Neglect is a common impairment following stroke. It is important that clinicians assess stroke survivors for neglect, but comprehensive assessment guidelines do not exist. This study provides evidence regarding the concurrent validity of behavioral and virtual reality neglect assessments. These findings can help clinicians select a valid, sensitive, and feasible assessment that can be used in clinical practice.

Published: September 2020

Abstract
Date Presented 03/27/20
In the emerging field of telerehab, OTs can provide rehabilitation in novel ways, such as by using apps or other technologies. Adherence to home exercise is a critical part of sustaining therapeutic gains, but often home exercise is not completed and function may decline after discharge. We show how an app was used to track home exercises, as well as facilitators of and barriers to use. Such information will be important for practitioners when considering using apps and other technologies.

Determination of genetic variation within the &lt;i&gt;DYRK2&lt;/i&gt; gene and its associations with milk traits in cattle
Authors: Mao Cui , Ju Xing , Cheng Haijian , Huang Xixia , Jiang Fugui , Yao Yuni , Lan Xianyong , Song Enliang 
Published: September 2020

Abstract. To speed up the progress of marker-assisted selection (MAS) in cattle
breeding, the dual-specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated kinase 2
(DYRK2), cadherin 2 (CDH2), and kinesin family member 1A (KIF1A) genes were chosen based
on our pervious genome-wide association study (GWAS) analysis results.
DYRK2 is a kinase that may participate in cell growth and/or development; it
shows phosphorylation activity toward serine, threonine, and tyrosine
fragments of proteins, and it is different from other protein kinases. The CDH2 gene
encodes a classic cadherin, which is a member of the cadherin superfamily. The
protein encoded by KIF1A is a member of the kinesin family and plays a role in
the transportation of membrane organelles along axon microtubules. We
detected insertion/deletion (InDel) variation in these three candidate genes
in 438 individual cattle (Xinjiang Brown cattle and Wagyu × Luxi
crossbreed cattle). Only DYRK2-P3-11 bp was polymorphic and genotyped. The
polymorphism information content of DYRK2-P3-11 bp was 0.336. Correlation analyses
showed that InDel polymorphism was significantly associated with six
different milk traits. These findings may aid future analyses of InDel
genotypes in cattle breeds, and speed up the progress of MAS in cattle
breeding.

Motivation et compétence à écrire au primaire : comparaison entre le clavier et le crayon
Authors: Deneault Joane , Lavoie Natalie 
Published: September 2020

L’usage du numérique en classe primaire et son potentiel pour soutenir la motivation et la compétence en écriture ont fait l’objet de plusieurs études, mais peu d’entre elles ont comparé les mêmes élèves selon qu’elles·ils écrivent au crayon ou au clavier. Cette étude a pour objectif de comparer la motivation et la performance d’élèves de 2e, 4eet 6eannée du primaire (N = 254) dans ces deux conditions. Les élèves ont réalisé deux tâches d’écriture et répondu à un questionnaire évaluant leur motivation. Les scores obtenus sur les indicateurs de motivation (4) et de performance (8) ont été soumis à des tests t pour échantillons appariés. Globalement, les élèves sont plus motivé·e·s pour écrire au clavier, mais leurs performances sont meilleures au crayon. Un portrait détaillé des avantages de ces deux outils d’écriture est brossé en considérant les différents indicateurs et les niveaux scolaires.
Pour une musique sans excuse
Authors: Guionnet Jean-Luc 
Published: September 2020

Partir d’un double constat : 1) la musique est une pratique du lieu qui pourtant 2) s’en échappe dès que possible par la trivialité de l’excuse, au sens de mise hors de cause – grosso modo la situation ne serait jamais appropriée. Partant, comment rester ici quand tous les moyens sont bons pour s’en sortir ? De là, questionner la différence entre composition et improvisation à l’aune de cette accusation de fuir les circonstances à tout bout de champ, en construisant l’analogie hypothétique suivante : l’improvisation est à la composition ce que la science-fiction ou l’anticipation est à l’utopie. Et aboutir finalement à ceci que moins l’excuse est possible plus la musique a lieu. Ou encore, rendre une musique possible peut revenir à se frayer une ligne entre les excuses. Ces méditations sont d’abord issues du grand nombre de discussions que j’ai pu avoir avant, pendant, ou après tel ou tel concert ; ce texte en garde la forme dialoguée tout en pariant qu’un impersonnel s’en dégage.
Effect of nest age and habitat variables on nest survival in Marsh Harrier (Circus aeruginosus) in a fishpond habitat
Authors: Zaremba Urszula , Kasprzykowski Zbigniew , Golawski Artur 
Published: September 2020

BackgroundOne important anti‐predator strategy adopted by birds involves nest site selection and timing of breeding. Nest-site selection by marsh-nesting birds often involves nest concealment and water depth as key features influencing nest survival. Marsh Harrier(Circus aeruginosus)is an obligate ground nester, which sets it apart from other raptors. The aim of the present study was to identify for the first time possible temporal and habitat factors affecting nest survival in Marsh Harrier. Understanding features which affect nest survival are essential for assessing relevant conservation strategies.MethodsTo understand the relative contributions of different temporal and habitat variables to brood losses, it is useful to determine the daily survival rate (DSR). We examined 82 Marsh Harrier nests located on fishponds in eastern Poland, where predation is the main cause of nest loss. Six habitat variables were measured for each active nest. DSR was calculated using known-fate models with the RMark package.ResultsThe best-supported model predicted that DSR decreased with nest age and was positively affected by the water depth and the diameter of reed stems, but not by the height or density of vegetation at the nest site. The distances of nests to the fishpond dyke and to open water received no support in the models. The chances of nest survival were lower if a neighbouring nest had been depredated. This result suggests that the Marsh Harrier is more susceptible to mammalian than avian predation and confirms the high level of predator pressure in fishpond habitats.

Published: September 2020

The study examined urban growth and land cover dynamics across Obio/Akpor, Local Government Area Rivers State. Landsat images were derived for the period of 1986 which was regarded as the base year, 2010 and 2018. The images were imported and analyzed using the spatial analysis tools in the ArcGIS environment to determine the extent of growth induced by change in features (water bodies, swamp forest, other forest, and Anthropogenic/built-up) coverage across the region. Findings revealed that there was a continuous decrease in the areas covered by water bodies, swamp forest, and forest between the periods of 1986 through 2010. It also revealed an increase in anthropogenic activities during the same periods of 1986 through 2018. As at 2018, as compared to 1986 which serves as the base year, there was a noticeable decrease in land area covered by water, in the tune of 13.946 sq km in 2018 as against 20.433 sq km in 1986 amounting to 68 percent decrease in surface covered by water bodies. Also, as at 2018, as compared to 1986 there is a noticeable decrease in the surface covered by swamp and other forest types in the tune of 18.102 and 99.693 sq km respectively as compared to 4.,986 and 17.498 sq km of surface cover respectively. On the other hand anthropogenic altered surfaces had a level of increase in the area covered by Anthropogenic/built-up developmental activities as at 2018 amounting to a tune of 14.399 sq km of surface area altered by anthropogenic activities as at 2018 as compared to 38.267 sq km of surface cover altered by human activities as at 1986 which when compared gave an increase in area covered by anthropogenic activities indicating an increase of over 100 percent between the base year of 1986 through 2018.

Ocular genetics in the genomics age
Authors: Walter Michael A. , Rezaie Tayebeh , Hufnagel Robert B. , Arno Gavin 
Published: September 2020

AbstractCurrent genetic screening methods for inherited eye diseases are concentrated on the coding exons of known disease genes (gene panels, clinical exome). These tests have a variable and often limited diagnostic rate depending on the clinical presentation, size of the gene panel and our understanding of the inheritance of the disorder (with examples described in this issue). There are numerous possible explanations for the missing heritability of these cases including undetected variants within the relevant gene (intronic, up/down‐stream and structural variants), variants harbored in genes outside the targeted panel, intergenic variants, variants undetectable by the applied technology, complex/non‐Mendelian inheritance, and nongenetic phenocopies. In this article we further explore and review methods to investigate these sources of missing heritability.
A novel independent harmonic tuned two‐port output network for efficiency enhanced RF power amplifiers
Authors: Banerjee Deepayan , Saxena Antra , Hashmi Mohammad 
Published: September 2020

AbstractThis article introduces a simple two‐port harmonic tuned output network‐based design of RF Power Amplifiers. The proposed output network facilitates mutual independence between the fundamental, second, and third harmonic impedances, which thereby eases the tuning process. The proposed two‐port harmonic tuning network has been synthesized, fabricated, and measured separately to demonstrate the harmonic independence behavior. Thorough graphical and analytical deductions are provided for the design scheme. The proposed design strategy has been validated with a Cree 10 W GaN HEMT based fabricated prototype at 2.4 GHz. The measured results show an obtained drain efficiency up to 82.3% and a gain of > 11.0 dB.

Published: September 2020

ABSTRACTObjectives:The objective of this study is to compare the various nonlinear and time series models in describing the course of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in China. To this aim, we focus on 2 indicators: the number of total cases diagnosed with the disease, and the death toll.Methods:The data used for this study are based on the reports of China between January 22 and June 18, 2020. We used nonlinear growth curves and some time series models for prediction of the number of total cases and total deaths. The determination coefficient (R2), mean square error (MSE), and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) were used to select the best model.Results:Our results show that while the Sloboda and ARIMA (0,2,1) models are the most convenient models that elucidate the cumulative number of cases; the Lundqvist-Korf model and Holt linear trend exponential smoothing model are the most suitable models for analyzing the cumulative number of deaths. Our time series models forecast that on 19 July, the number of total cases and total deaths will be 85,589 and 4639, respectively.Conclusion:The results of this study will be of great importance when it comes to modeling outbreak indicators for other countries. This information will enable governments to implement suitable measures for subsequent similar situations.

Abstract

Introduction
Biobanks are a valuable resource for creating advancements in science through cutting-edge omics research. Twin research methods allow us to understand the degree to which genetics and environmental factors contribute to health outcomes.

Methods
The Sri Lankan Twin Registry biobank (SLTR-b) was established in 2015 as part of Colombo Twin and Singleton Follow-up Study. Venous blood and urine were collected from twins and comparative sample of singletons for clinical investigations and biobanking.

Results
The SLTR-b currently houses 3369 DNA and serum samples. Biobank specimens are linked to longitudinal questionnaire data, clinical investigations, anthropometric measurements, and other data.

Discussion
The SLTR-b aims to address gaps in health and genetics research. It will provide opportunities for academic collaborations, local and international, and capacity building of future research leaders in twin and omics research. This paper provides a cohort profile of the SLTR-b and its linked data, and an overview of the strategies used for biobanking.
Place matters: government capacity, community characteristics, and social capital across United States counties
Authors: McCall Jamie R. , Bussing Austin , Hoyman Michele M. , Paarlberg Laurie E. 
Published: September 2020

AbstractCommunities with high levels of social capital enjoy an array of positive economic and community development outcomes. We assess the role of several key community characteristics, including the strength of government institutions, in explaining local social capital variation. The analysis draws on data from United States counties and includes regression modelling and a Blinder–Oaxaca decomposition to explore differences in social capital across an area’s metropolitan status and region. The data show social capital determinants vary by place both due to the endowment levels of these determinantsandthe productive value of their coefficients. For example, the coefficient productive values of government capacity explain some differences in social capital levels across metropolitan status (butnotacross region). Concurrently, variations in government capacity endowment levels help explain some differences in social capital levels across region (butnotacross metropolitan status).

Authors: Marrero Abrania , Tamez Martha , Rodríguez-Orengo José F , Mattei Josiemer 
Published: September 2020

AbstractObjective:Diminished diet quality in the Caribbean and other island settings may be related to a dietary transition from local foods towards imported products. The current study aimed to characterise the association between intentionally purchasing local foods (IPLF) and diet quality in Puerto Rico (PR).Design:Cross-sectional study.Setting:Primary care clinics in the PR metropolitan area.Participants:Data were obtained from adult participants (30–75 years; n 243) of the Puerto Rico Assessment of Diet, Lifestyle, and Diseases. IPLF was probed by asking: ‘How often do you purposely purchase foods from PR (like fruits, vegetables, meat and other products that are produced on the island rather than being imported)?’ Dietary intake was measured using a FFQ, and diet quality was assessed by the Alternate Healthy Eating Index (range 0–110; higher scores indicating higher diet quality). Multivariate-adjusted generalised linear models tested the association between IPLF and Alternate Healthy Eating Index 2010 (AHEI) and its component scores.Results:A third (33·9 %) of participants reported seldom, 33·5 % reported often and 30·6 % reported always IPLF. Compared with seldom IPLF, fully adjusted mean AHEI scores were 3·6 (P = 0·038) points higher among those often IPLF and 9·3 (P < 0·0001) points higher among those always IPLF. Compared with seldom IPLF, those who always IPLF had significantly higher fully adjusted mean component scores for vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts and legumes, trans fat and n-3 fats.Conclusions:Adults in PR who intentionally purchase local foods had higher diet quality, especially for intake of plant-based foods and healthy fats, highlighting potential dietary benefits associated with improved local food availability in PR.
