Appraising Measurements of Affective Polarisation in Multiparty Systems: Comparative Insights from the Low Countries
Affective polarisation is increasingly viewed as a threat to democratic societies. However, the lack of consensus on measurement approaches hinders our understanding. This study assesses the concurrent validity of several affective polarisation measurements, challenging existing US-centric measurement approaches and advocating for a more nuanced understanding tailored to Europe’s diverse multiparty contexts. It leverages data from Belgium and the Netherlands (N = 2,174), two ideal-type multiparty systems to test various measurements of affective polarisation. Its novelty arrives from its examination of like-dislike and social distance measures in conjunction with social avoidance and out-group dislike. The findings reveal that while these measurements share common drivers, their outcomes differ substantially. Only out-group dislike and social distance are linked to decreased satisfaction with democracy, whereas affective polarisation as the difference between in- and out-group affect seems to stimulate voting intentions. Hence, this study cautions researchers against interchangeably using different measurements.

Published: July 2024

Objetivo: Apresentar e refletir sobre algumas práticas de intervenção pedagógica com alunos que apresentam Transtorno do Espectro Autista – TEA, analisando a aprendizagem pela resposta às intervenções aplicadas no processo escolar. Relato de Experiência: Em 2020 foi realizado um projeto de intervenções pedagógicas com alunos autistas no Centro Municipal de Educação Infantil Reynaldo Avellar Gonçalves, localizado na cidade de Piumhi-MG. As intervenções pedagógicas foram aplicadas em crianças autistas de 4 e 5 anos, não só no contexto teórico, mas no contexto crítico educacional incentivando a confecção e adaptação de materiais reutilizáveis/recicláveis que auxiliaram no processo de ensino aprendizagem, desenvolvendo aspectos cognitivos significativos como falar, brincar, compartilhar, socializar, interagir e aprender sobre o mundo que o cerca. Resultados: Os resultados revelaram que as crianças autistas adquiriram conhecimentos sobre psicomotricidade durante a aplicação das práticas de intervenção pedagógica, contudo eles tiveram grande dificuldade no item de escrita e leitura de palavras, como era esperado. Quando o aluno aprende com as intervenções, possibilita o seu processo de autoconhecer-se e permite que vá experimentando e descobrindo-se, lidando com suas habilidades, aprendendo a gerenciar o fracasso e a enfrentar obstáculos. Considerações finais: Alunos autistas, assim como os demais estudantes que apresentam necessidades educacionais específicas, precisam de adaptações curriculares para que possam acompanhar os colegas nas atividades e rotina escolar. Pode-se constatar que uma criança não desenvolve sua capacidade de aprendizagem sozinha, ela deve contar com o apoio de todos (família e educadores), a fim de que haja um diagnóstico e um tratamento individual, de acordo com o grau de dificuldade, além de criar um ambiente de receptividade e bem estar para o aluno com necessidades especiais, pois ele já convive com restrições psicossociais no dia-a-dia. Esses resultados traz a necessidade premente de um aprimoramento adequado e continuo por parte dos professores regentes unidos aos professores de apoio visando adaptações e intervenções mais robustas.

Authors: Priyoasmoro Cahyo Hardo , Zulkifli Djunaidi  
Published: July 2024

Background: The workplace risks faced at PT X oil and gas company, located offshore Natuna, are relatively high evidenced by fluctuations in accidents from 2018 – 2022. In 2018, recordable injury attributable to accidents was recorded, then in 2019-2020, there were no accidents, and the prevalence increased in 2021-2022. The company analyzed the main causes responsible for work accidents during this period and carried out intervention measures in Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) program to reverse the trend in 2023. By implementing OHS program, the number of accidents in recordable injury category fell from 4 (2021- 2022) to 1 (2023). This shows that the program has been successful in managing work accidents. Considering that the investigation and analysis identified unsafe acts as the direct causes, Human Factor Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) method was used to analyze other factors associated with accidents.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate OHS program actions at PT X in responding to increased work accidents in 2021-2022, and compare with recommendations for improvements from HFACS method.
Method: A qualitative design was used with secondary data, comprising 10 work accidents records and investigation reports for recordable injury cases from 2018 – 2022 available in PT X information system. Subsequently, the secondary data were then classified according to four failure stages in HFACS, namely unsafe acts, the precondition of unsafe acts, unsafe supervision, and organizational influence. This classification produced recommendations for improvement, which were then compared with the prevention intervention program for accidents at PT X.
Results: The results showed that OHS program intervention to reduce the number of accidents in 2023 was in accordance with the recommendations of HFACS analysis.
Conclusion: The application of HFACS in analyzing accidents records and investigation reports produced relatively comprehensive recommendations by focusing on the component stages. Several additional recommendations from the analysis of latent conditions will further improve OHS performance at PT X.

Background Tracheostomy, a common procedure performed in intensive care units (ICU), is associated with communication impairment and affects patient well-being. While prior research has focused on physiological care, there is a need to address communication needs and quality of life (QOL). We aimed to evaluate how different types of communication devices affect QOL, speech intelligibility, voice quality, time to significant events, clinical response and tolerance, and healthcare utilization in patients undergoing tracheostomy. Methods Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic review was conducted to assess studies from 2016 onwards. Eligible studies included adult ICU patients with a tracheostomy, comparing different types of communication devices. Data were extracted and synthesized to evaluate QOL, speech intelligibility, voice quality, time to significant events (initial communication device use, oral intake, decannulation), clinical response and tolerance, and healthcare utilization and facilitators/barriers to device implementation. Results Among 9,228 studies screened, 8 were included in the review. Various communication devices were employed, comprising both tracheostomy types and speaking valves, highlighting the multifaceted nature of interventions. Quality of life improvements were observed with voice restoration interventions, but challenges such as speech intelligibility impairments were noted. The median time for initial communication device usage post-intervention was 11.4 ± 5.56 days. The median duration of speech tolerance ranged between 30-60 minutes to 2-3 hours across different studies. Complications such as air trapping or breathing difficulties were reported in 15% of cases. Additionally, the median ICU length of stay post-intervention was 36.5 days. Key facilitators for device implementation included early intervention, while barriers ranged from service variability to physical intolerance issues. Conclusion Findings demonstrate that various types of communication devices can significantly enhance the quality of life, speech intelligibility, and voice quality for patients undergoing tracheostomy, aligning with the desired outcomes of improved clinical response and reduced healthcare utilization. The identification of facilitators and barriers to device implementation further informs clinical practice, suggesting a tailored, patient-centered approach is crucial for optimizing the benefits of communication devices in this population.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Objectives: To examine the effects of foot dominance and body mass on foot plantar pressures in older women of regular, overweight, and obese weights.
Methods: 96 female adults were divided into regular-weight group (68.30 ± 4.19 yr), overweight group (69.88 ± 3.76 yr), and obesity group (68.47 ± 3.67 yr) based on their body mass index scores. Footscan® plantar pressure test system was used to assess the dynamic plantar pressures, and parameters were collected from risk analysis, foot axis analysis, single foot timing analysis, and pressure analysis.
Results: (1) The local risks of lateral forefoot and midfoot, the minimum and maximum subtalar joint angles, the flexibility of subtalar joint, foot flat phase, as well as the average pressures on toes, metatarsals,, midfoot, and lateral heel, with the peak pressures on toe 2–5, metatarsal 2, metatarsal 5, midfoot, and lateral heel had significant within-subject differences. (2) The phases of initial contact and foot flat, the average pressures on toe 2–5, metatarsals, midfoot, and heels, with the peak pressures on metatarsal 1–4, midfoot, and heels exhibited significant between-subjects differences. (3) There was an interaction effect of foot dominance and body mass index on the flexibility of subtalar joint.
Conclusions: The non-dominant foot works better for stability, especially when touching on and off the ground. The dominant foot works better for propulsion but is more susceptible to pain, injury, and falls. For obese older women, the forefoot and midfoot are primarily responsible for maintaining stability, but the lateral midfoot and hindfoot are more prone to pain and discomfort.
Real-time path planning for autonomous vehicle off-road driving
Authors: Ramirez-Robles Ethery , Starostenko Oleg , Alarcon-Aquino Vicente 
Published: July 2024

Background
Autonomous driving is a growing research area that brings benefits in science, economy, and society. Although there are several studies in this area, currently there is no a fully autonomous vehicle, particularly, for off-road navigation. Autonomous vehicle (AV) navigation is a complex process based on application of multiple technologies and algorithms for data acquisition, management and understanding. Particularly, a self-driving assistance system supports key functionalities such as sensing and terrain perception, real time vehicle mapping and localization, path prediction and actuation, communication and safety measures, among others.

Methods
In this work, an original approach for vehicle autonomous driving in off-road environments that combines semantic segmentation of video frames and subsequent real-time route planning is proposed. To check the relevance of the proposal, a modular framework for assistive driving in off-road scenarios oriented to resource-constrained devices has been designed. In the scene perception module, a deep neural network is used to segment Red-Green-Blue (RGB) images obtained from camera. The second traversability module fuses Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) point clouds with the results of segmentation to create a binary occupancy grid map to provide scene understanding during autonomous navigation. Finally, the last module, based on the Rapidly-exploring Random Tree (RRT) algorithm, predicts a path. The Freiburg Forest Dataset (FFD) and RELLIS-3D dataset were used to assess the performance of the proposed approach. The theoretical contributions of this article consist of the original approach for image semantic segmentation fitted to off-road driving scenarios, as well as adapting the shortest route searching A* and RRT algorithms to AV path planning.

Results
The reported results are very promising and show several advantages compared to previously reported solutions. The segmentation precision achieves 85.9% for FFD and 79.5% for RELLIS-3D including the most frequent semantic classes. While compared to other approaches, the proposed approach is faster regarding computational time for path planning.
