Estimation and Removal of Residual Motion Artifact in Retrospectively Motion-Corrected fMRI Data: A Comparison of Intervolume and Intravolume Motion Using Gold Standard Simulated Motion Data
Authors: Shin Wanyong , Taylor Paul , Lowe Mark J. 
Published: September 2024

Residual head motion artifact in motion-corrected resting-state (rs-) functional MRI (fMRI) and fMRI datasets reduces the temporal signal-to-noise ratio and leaves non-neuronal signal components in the data, which can induce false findings in these studies. While various residual motion nuisance regressors have been proposed to regress out residual motion artifact after motion correction, these validations have typically been conducted empirically in in vivo data, since realistic head motion–corrupted MR data are not available. Here, we generated motion-corrupted MR data by altering imaging plane coordinates before each volume and slice acquisition from an ex vivo brain phantom using the simulated prospective acquisition correction (SIMPACE) sequence. Testing SIMPACE motion-corrupted data with various intervolume motion patterns, we first investigated the mechanism of the residual motion signal after motion correction and also proposed a voxel-wise motion nuisance regressor, called the partial volume (PV) regressor. We also modified the slice-oriented motion-correction method (SLOMOCO) pipeline with 6 volume-wise rigid intervolume motion parameters (Vol-mopa), 6 slice-wise rigid intravolume motion parameters (Sli-mopa), and the proposed PV motion nuisance regressor. We then compared the residual signal after application of the modified SLOMOCO (mSLOMOCO) pipeline with two other methods: intervolume motion-correction method (VOLMOCO), and the original SLOMOCO (oSLOMOCO). We found that mSLOMOCO with 12 Vol-/Sli-mopa and PV regressors outperformed both VOLMOCO with 6 Vol-mopa and PV regressors and oSLOMOCO with 14 voxel-wise regressors. In tests of the 10 different motion patterns of SIMPACE datasets with 1× and 2× amplified intravolume motion, mSLOMOCO with 12 Vol-/Sli-mopa and PV regressors pipeline produced the average standard deviation (SD) of the residual time series signals in the gray matter (GM) smaller by 29% (1× amplified intravolume motion) and 45% (2× amplified intravolume motion) than VOLMOCO with 6 Vol-mopa and PV regressors pipeline. Also, mSLOMOCO with 12 Vol-/Sli-mopa and PV regressors pipeline outperformed oSLOMOCO with 14 voxelwise regressors pipeline, generating the average SD in GM smaller by 28% (1× amplified intravolume motion) and 31% (2× amplified intravolume motion) than oSLOMOCO with 14 voxel-wise regressors pipeline. The novel PV regressor also effectively reduced residual motion artifact as a motion nuisance regressor after both VOLMOCO and mSLOMOCO.

Published: September 2024

The paper examines the evolving landscape of energy sources within sports facilities. Traditionally reliant on electrical power and other forms of power from non-renewable resources such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas, these facilities face the inevitability of resource depletion and environmental repercussions. In response, this paper advocates for the adoption of new avenues, including energy conservation, emission reduction, energy recovery, and embracing renewable energy sources. A pioneering focus is on the implementation of a piezoelectric power generation system, tapping into typically wasted sources such as sound and human locomotion. An experimental approach explored the feasibility of such a system in order to ascertain its reliability, efficiency, and sustainability. With applications ranging from powering low-power electronic devices to environmental monitoring sensors, the successful integration of this technology promises a substantial advancement in the use of other renewable energy sources, diminishing reliance on non-renewable sources albeit on a small scale. The paper endeavours to shed light on the potential application of piezoelectric power generation in the electricity production field, aligning with the overarching objective of harvesting energy from unconventional sources and converting it into usable electrical energy. Moreover, it aims to shed light on the potential integration of piezoelectric and audio-electric generators in the energy or renewable energy mix of sports facilities, and address emerging technologies, societal impacts, and strategies to overcome barriers to adoption.

Published: September 2024

Introduction:Few studies have assessed athletic identity levels in young patients. This study examined athletic identity in adolescents and explored associations between athletic identity, patterns of sport participation, and coping skills.Methods:Patients aged 12 to 18 years who received sports medicine care completed a one-time, voluntary, anonymous survey. Surveys included demographics, sport participation information, Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS), and Athletic Coping Skills Inventory (ACSI). Statistical analysis included Fisher exact test, Studentttest, Wilcoxon rank sum test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Pearson correlation.Results:Three hundred thirty-four patients (mean ± SD age 15.0 ± 1.8 years, 64.7% girls) completed questionnaires. The mean AIMS and ACSI scores were 45.2 ± 11.5 and 50.2 ± 10.9, respectively. No notable differences were observed in AIMS scores between age groups or sexes. An increase in mean AIMS scores (higher athletic identity) was seen with greater weekly hours of sport participation (P< 0.001) and months per year of primary sport participation (P< 0.001). Multisport per season athletes had higher AIMS scores than single-sport athletes (48.2 ± 10.1 vs. 43.0 ± 11.9,P< 0.001). Team sport athletes reported higher athletic identities than individual sport athletes (47.0 ± 10.7, 41.4 ± 11.4,P< 0.001). Athletic Identity Measurement Scale scores positively correlated with ACSI scores (r = 0.31,P< 0.0001). Athletes with the highest athletic identity had markedly higher scores on ACSI subscales of Coachability, Concentration, Confidence and Achievement Motivation, Goal Setting and Mental Preparation, and Peaking Under Pressure than athletes with the least athletic identity. However, those with the highest athletic identities reported significantly lower scores on the ACSI Freedom From Worry subscale (P< 0.001).Discussion:Athletic identity did not differ among adolescents by age or sex. Athletic identity was higher in team sport athletes and those with increased sport participation volumes. While high athletic identity was associated with higher scores on favorable coping skill dimensions, these athletes may also worry more, potentially placing them at greater psychological risk after injury.

Introdução: Atualmente, a preocupação com a aparência da pele é cada vez mais comum entre as pessoas, gerando uma alta demanda por tratamentos estéticos que atendam ao desejo de manter um aspecto bonito, jovem e, acima de tudo, saudável. O peeling de fenol (PF) se destaca por proporcionar resultados eficazes, promovendo um rejuvenescimento facial intenso através de agentes químicos que penetram profundamente na pele, estimulando a renovação celular e a vitalidade. No entanto, como qualquer procedimento, o PF apresenta algumas possíveis contraindicações e riscos, apesar de suas muitas vantagens. Objetivo: Avaliar as tendências e perspectivas atuais do peeling de fenol na atualidade. Metodologia: Revisão sistemática da literatura, com base em artigos indexados nas bases de dados Scielo, PubMed e Google acadêmico, entre 2014 e 2024, em inglês e português. Resultados e discussão: O fenol é um composto tóxico que se infiltra facilmente na pele, sendo rapidamente absorvido pela corrente sanguínea, elevando o risco de toxicidade sistêmica. Vários estudos demonstram que, em diferentes concentrações, o peeling com fenol pode aumentar a frequência cardíaca, causar arritmias e elevar a pressão arterial. Ademais, esse procedimento pode ocasionar lesões cutâneas cáusticas e elevar os níveis de transaminases hepáticas em pacientes que o realizam. Portanto, é imprescindível que haja uma avaliação cuidadosa das características e possíveis vulnerabilidades do paciente antes do procedimento, além de uma atenção imediata após a sua aplicação. Conclusão: Apesar de estar sendo amplamente utilizado, ainda faltam estudos que analisem detalhadamente os efeitos relacionados ao emprego prolongado deste composto em tratamentos estéticos. Portanto, mais pesquisas são necessárias, visando a conseguir resultados consistentes sobre os riscos vinculados ao uso do fenol em procedimentos estéticos.

Published: September 2024

Study’s Excerpt

Analysis of the variability in tropospheric radio refractivity in Ogoja and Warri, Nigeria, was carried out by examining a 42-year dataset (1981-2022) of meteorological factors obtained from NASA.
The contributions of dry and wet terms to radio refractivity variations were identified and key parameters such as refractivity gradients and the effective earth radius (k-factor) for both locations were evaluated.
The radio wave propagation in the region is lowest during the dry season.

Full Abstract
Radio refractivity is the ratio of the velocity of radio waves in a specific medium to that in free space. Radio waves propagate according to variations in tropospheric radio refractive index. This study used the refractive index and other pertinent meteorological factors to calculate the radio refractivity of the seasonal troposphere and analyse its variability with monthly temperature, relative humidity, and atmospheric pressure measurements that were collected from the National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) for Ogoja and Warri over a forty-two-year period (1981 to 2022). We looked at the proportion contributions of the dry and wet term radio refractivity, the refractivity gradient, and the effective earth radius. The outcome signified that in the two locations, radio refractivity values were lowest for the dry season and highest during the rainy season. For Ogoja and Warri, the highest and lowest average radio refractivity values recorded in the wet and dry seasons are, respectively, 382.9085 N-units in May, 346.4311 N-units in January, and 390.9042 N-units in April, 370.3009 N-units in January. For Ogoja and Warri, the wet term (Nwet) provides 31.5210 % and 30.1793%, respectively, to the primary variation in radio refractivity's overall value, whereas the dry term (Ndry) adds up to 69.8207 % and 68.4790 %. Mean refractivity gradients of -43.8326 and -44.5326 N-units/km were found in the subject areas under examination. Furthermore, it was discovered that the mean effective earth radius (k-factor) for Warri and Ogoja were 1.3959 and 1.3873, respectively. The values provided represent the propagation conditions of superrefraction.

Published: September 2024

Relevance. The article reveals the peculiarities of teaching economic disciplines at the College of physical education. The article reflects the gradual formation of students' economic knowledge both within the frame-work of studying economic disciplines and performing practical tasks, and as a result of students attending seminars on economic literacy conducted within the framework of the scientific school of managers. Much attention is paid to solving various practical tasks and situational tasks of an economic nature.The purpose of the study is to form students' economic thinking, which contributes to the development of the ability to understand the meaning and motives of the activities of participants in the economic process, their mutual dependence in all phases of reproduction in order to achieve high results.Organization and methods of research. The study involved full-time students of the College of Physical Education and Sports. The need for the formation of economic knowledge among college students is determined not only by the living conditions in modern society, but also by the requirements of federal state educational standards of secondary vocational education. The future activities of graduates of a physical education college are primarily pedagogical in nature, but at the same time, possession of economic knowledge may be necessary for students in the performance of their official duties related to the preparation of estimates and other financial documents of a sports organization.The results of the study and their discussion. As a result of the conducted research on the development of economic literacy among students of a physical education college, a certain dependence can be noted: the more students complete practical tasks, the higher their level of knowledge and, as a result, the higher the level of preparedness to perform a certain activity.Conclusions. Summing up, it can be noted that effective teaching of economic disciplines is associated with the use of various teaching methods and techniques aimed at increasing students' interest in obtaining and mastering economic knowledge, using an integrative approach, as well as the need to involve students in solving problematic situations that arise not only within the educational process, but also and to solve the many problems that really exist in the economy of our country in this period of time.

Фінансові важелі (леверидж) відіграють вирішальну роль у допомозі приватним військовим компаніям керувати економічними ризиками та підтримувати фінансову незалежність. У контексті підвищення економічної стійкості приватних військових компаній використання левериджу покращує накопичення власних ресурсів та можливостей, дозволяючи краще протистояти появі фінансових ризиків.
Авторами взято до уваги, що приватні військові компанії часто працюють в умовах високого ризику, де вони стикаються з різними фінансовими труднощами, такими як коливання попиту на їхні послуги, геополітична невизначеність і нормативні зміни тощо. Завдяки залученню вільних коштів вони можуть отримати додаткові можливості для розширення своєї діяльності, інвестувати в передові технології та диверсифікувати свої пропозиції послуг. Така підвищена фінансова гнучкість може допомогти їм пережити неспокійні часи та зберегти свою конкурентну перевагу в галузі. Однак для цих компаній важливо ретельно керувати рівнем левериджу, щоб уникнути надмірного боргового тягаря, який потенційно може призвести до фінансових труднощів.
У статті представлено онтологію фінансових ризиків для приватних військових компаній: нестабільність геополітичної ситуації; правові та регуляторні зміни; підтримка ліквідності та управління грошовими потоками в умовах підвищеного ризику; мінливість попиту на послуги безпеки; кредитний ризик; операційний ризик. Для їх стримування можна використовувати деякі стратегії зменшення фінансових ризиків у приватних військових компаніях (наслідки левериджу), а саме: диверсифікація послуг та географічної присутності; впровадження суворих заходів кредитного контролю та проведення ретельної перевірки; інвестиції в надійну операційну інфраструктуру та системи управління ризиками.
Авторами наведено приклад розрахунку показника ефекту фінансового важеля для потенційної приватної військової компанії, що наочно відображає можливий загальний підхід до оцінювання фінансових можливостей таких компаній (за допомогою графічного методу визначено безпечний обсяг позикових коштів).
Результатами використання показника ефекту фінансового важеля для потенційної приватної військової компанії може стати не тільки поточне покращення її операційної діяльності, а й підвищення реалістичності довгострокового планування.

« C’était une fille de beaucoup de mérite, d’esprit et de vertu ». Femmes célibataires dans les réseaux épistolaires du xviie siècle
Authors: Eyméoud Juliette 
Published: September 2024

Cet article souhaite à la fois mettre en lumière l’histoire des « filles majeures » (femmes célibataires de plus de 25 ans) et réintégrer certaines d’entre elles dans l’histoire intellectuelle et littéraire du xviie siècle. Il se concentre sur les trajectoires de deux demoiselles, Catherine-Françoise de Bretagne (1617-1682) et Henriette de Conflans (1632-1712), chez qui l’activité épistolaire témoigne autant d’une condition sociale subordonnée que de véritables talents d’autrice. Les lettres permettent d’entendre les voix de deux femmes célibataires et d’obtenir des informations sur leur quotidien, leur entourage, leur façon de penser. Ces lettres sont aussi des sources pour étudier leurs engagements et leur inscription dans de prestigieux réseaux épistolaires. Une question émerge dès lors : quel lien peut-on tracer entre le célibat de ces femmes et leur geste d’écriture ?
Ikke helt A4!

Published: September 2024

Artikkelen tar utgangspunkt i en a/r/tografisk undersøkelse om samtidstegning som handling gjennom et undervisningsprosjekt med en gruppe barnehagelærerstudenter. Vår erfaring er at tegning i barnehagen ofte gjennomføres som bordaktivitet med ark i formatet A4. Det begrenser barns muligheter til å tegne med hele kroppen og låser tegneuttrykket til et lite og avgrenset format. Vi undersøker derfor andre og mer eksperimenterende innganger til en utvidet forståelse av hva tegning kan være. Hva skjer når vi inviterer studenter til utforskende, materielle og kroppslige tegneprosesser? Og hvilke kunnskaper produseres om tegning, og om det å tegne? I artikkelen diskuteres dette i relasjon til: 1) Kropp og materialer 2) Nærvær, temporalitet og rytme 3) Risiko og tilfeldighet. Avslutningsvis diskuteres hvordan utforskende, kroppslige og materielle tegnepraksiser kan utformes i barnehage og barnehagelærerutdanning.
