Poetik der Visualität
Authors: Stolz Michael 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
In recent decades the poetics of the visual has attracted increased scholarly interest in cultural and historical studies; but so far, the topic has rarely been considered from intercultural perspectives. A revealing example of this is Wolfram von Eschenbach’s medieval poem Parzival, composed shortly after 1200, that suggests that his author was – at least to some extent – familiar with the arabian knowledge of his time, as transmitted through the Iberian translation Centre of Toledo. The metaphorical language of the poem evokes contrasts of light and darkness, the phenomenon of haziness and the play of colours. So far, hardly any attempt has been made to relate these motifs to contemporaneous Arabic theory of optics. Influential thinkers such as Alhazen (Ibn al-Haytham) studied the structure of the eye, the radiation of light, as well as the effects of reflection and refraction. Whereas these ideas would spread in occidental science only over the course of the 13th century (via Roger Bacon and others), Wolfram’s Parzival ‘reflects’ elementary components of Arabian optics already in an earlier period.

BACKGROUND
High-frequency (500Khz) direct segmental multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) accurately calculates total water mass and body fat% (BF%), but it is unknown whether higher frequencies (1000Khz) increase measurement accuracy. PURPOSE: This study compared BIA 500Khz, BIA 1000Khz, the Department of Defense DoD Circumference Method (CM), and the reference standard DEXA.

METHODS
A total of 62 participants from the military healthcare system (n=25 males, 38.8±11.4yrs, n=37 females 43.7±15.95yrs) were measured. BF% was estimated via DEXA, BIA 500, BIA 1000, and CM to identify the relationship between methods using Pearson Correlation, Intraclass Correlation Coefficients, and Bland Altman Plots (p &lt;.05).

RESULTS
CM BF% estimates displayed significant moderate correlations with BIA 500 (males r=.63, ICC=.76; females r=.77, ICC=.85), BIA 1000 (males r=.59, ICC=. 74; females r=.77, ICC=.85), and DEXA (males r=.62, ICC=.62; females r=.73, ICC=.82). BIA 500 BF% displayed significant strong correlations with BIA 1000 (males r=.99, ICC=.99; females r=.99, ICC=.99) and DEXA (males r=.93, ICC=.94; females r=.89, ICC=.89). Lastly, BIA 1000 BF% also showed a significant strong correlation DEXA (males r=.93, ICC=.94; females r=.84, ICC=.90). Evaluating proportional bias using a Bland-Altman analysis confirmed an overall mean bias of -1.72% (CM and DEXA) in the female group, indicating the tendency of DEXA to underestimate BF% compared to CM, limits of agreement from -14.24 to 10.8. There was an upward slope of .33 as the CM BF% decreased and the DEXA BF% increased. There was agreement of BF% to 32%, but after 32%, there was more dispersion from the mean and outliers and with a significant trend for a greater difference in BF% between CM and DEXA (p&lt;.05).

CONCLUSIONS
The correlation was higher between BIA 500 and BIA 1000 to DEXA when compared to CM. There was proportional bias between DEXA and CM in the female group with CM underestimating BF% compared to DEXA.When compared to BIA methods, BF% estimated via CM methods do not correlate well with BF% from DEXA. However, it does not seem as though higher BIA frequencies better predict BF%.

BACKGROUND
A new portable neurocognitive training tool that administers central and peripheral visual and cognitive drills using a 7-foot-wide touchscreen light-board technology is being introduced into the sport and therapy fields. The purpose of this study is to assess the validity of the Reflexion Edge cognitive assessments compared to the FDA-cleared, ImPACT Computer-based test and Sway Medical App assessment.

METHODS
22 healthy adults, 19-66 yrs, M = 23.54 + SD = 9.81, 54% male, have participated, however the target enrollment is 100 participants. Participants completed one each of Reflexion Edge assessment using a 7-ft by 3-ft touchscreen light-board, ImPACT test using a laptop, and Sway assessment using an iPhone.

RESULTS
Spearman’s Rho correlational analyses were administered to determine the relationship between the Reflexion Edge scales and the ImPACT computer-based and Sway Medical app scales. Findings showed Reflexion Edge scales demonstrated significant correlations with multiple ImPACT and Sway Choice Reaction Time & Speed Processing scales, r = + 0.448 to 0.660, p’s &lt; 0.05; ImPACT Attention & Memory scales, r = + 0.425 to 0.813, p’s &lt; 0.05; and Sway Executive Function scales, r = + 0.424 to 0.776, p’s &lt; 0.05. All analysis were conducted at an α of 0.05.

CONCLUSIONS
Despite a lack of statistical power, the Reflexion Edge cognitive measures demonstrated significant associations with several of the ImPACT computer-based and the Sway Medical app cognitive assessment measures. In addition, the correlational effect size (+ 0.362 to + 0.421) of several of the other Reflexion Edge scales suggested promising associations with the ImPACT and Sway app scales. The continuation of this study to increase the N and determine significant relevance is supported. In conclusion, Reflexion Edge may serve as a viable cognitive assessment tool based on its comparable association with established ImPACT Computer-based and SWAY Medical app assessments.

BACKGROUND
Body composition assessment is an important clinical and research tool. Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the ‘gold standard’ and useful in the research environment, however, it is expensive, reliant on a trained technician, requires a large space, and is immoveable. Bioelectrical impedance (BIA) measurements have improved with the application of 8-electrode multifrequency units and could offer faster, cheaper, and portable alternative if measurements are comparable. The purpose of this study was to determine how well bone mineral content (BMC), lean body mass (LBM), and fat mass measurements made with BIA compared to those made with DXA.

METHODS
46 (36 female) college students [avg 21.2 yr, 167.2 cm, 67.2 kg, 28.9% fat; 6 Asian, 4 Hispanic, 3 Black] had their BIA and DXA whole body composition measured within minutes of each other. Three compartments were compared BIA vs DXA: BMC, fat mass, and LBM. Pearson’s correlation coefficients were determined.

RESULTS
Absolute fat mass (r=0.95), lean mass (r=0.98), and BMC (r=0.91) were highly correlated between the assessment methods.

CONCLUSIONS
A quadripolar multifrequency BIA device can be a valid body composition surrogate in research environments using college students when a DXA machine is impractical to use.w
ASSESSMENT OF A SELF-PACED PROTOCOL FOR TESTING AEROBIC CAPACITY IN SCI INDIVIDUALS

BACKGROUND
Underwater treadmill (UT) exercise is a recent and sparsely tested modality that may be beneficial for those with incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI). Currently, VO2max and HRmax have not been assessed during UT exercise among those with iSCI. This study's purpose was to determine if a rating of perceived exertion (RPE) based max exertion protocol used with a motorized UT can elicit criterion-based max physiological responses among those with and without iSCI.

METHODS
Healthy adult males with iSCI (n=4; Age=49.8 +/- 3.9 yrs) and without iSCI (n=4; Age=50.0 +/- 7.2 yrs) participated. Borg OMNI RPE scale was used by participants to estimate intensity of exercise. Each participant reported to the lab on two occasions. On visit one, they completed informed consent papers and familiarization with the RPE scale and UT exercise. On visit two, they completed a speed-based, self-regulated incremental exercise test on the UT. Prior to all testing, the UT was filled and set to 92°F. Upon arrival, HR monitor and mask for gas collection were donned. Water height was modified to the xiphoid process. The test consisted of rest, warm-up, incremental exercise, and active recovery phases. For warm-up, treadmill speed was adjusted to 0.5 mph for 3 minutes. After walking 3 minutes, speed was increased to 0.75 mph for another 3 minutes. The incremental exercise phase consisted of four stages, 3 minutes in duration, totaling 12 minutes. For each stage, participants self-selected a speed perceived to correspond to RPE levels: 3, 5, 7, and 10. Treadmill speed was hidden from participants. At each stage's start, speed was only adjusted during the first minute until reaching the proper RPE. During the final stage, treadmill speed could be changed freely until volitional exhaustion. The test ended when volitional exhaustion was reached, at which point the speed was lowered for an active recovery. An independent samples t-test was used to compare time (minutes) until volitional exhaustion. Separate independent samples t-tests were used to compare the highest achieved HR and VO2 values.

RESULTS
All iSCI participants achieved a VO2peak. Only 1 participant without iSCI achieved a VO2max. Mean VO2 was significantly lower, t(6)=3.81, p=.027, for those with iSCI (13.88 +/- 10.57 mL/kg/min) than those without iSCI (34.50 +/- 2.38 mL/kg/min).

CONCLUSION
This study shows that the UT is a safe modality for graded exercise testing for those with and without iSCI. An RPE-regulated protocol may not be effective for eliciting criterion-based maximal aerobic results with the UT, but was well tolerated by those with iSCI. Those with iSCI may have lacked lower limb strength to achieve max workloads. Being able to use the UT to test peak aerobic fitness allows clinicians to track improvements in economy following UT training. More research of this modality is encouraged with larger samples to further evaluate potential testing protocols among this population.
A COMPARISON OF GUIDELINES FOR HEART TRANSPLANT CONSIDERATION BASED ON CPET DATA
Authors: Brawner Clinton A. , Ehrman Jonathan K. , Keteyian Steven J. 
Published: February 2024

https://youtu.be/tfol-46xG-o

BACKGROUND
The International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) recommends using peak oxygen uptake (VO2≤12 mL/kg/min), percent predicted peak VO2 (ppVO2≤50%), or the ventilation to carbon dioxide slope (VE/VCO2 slope&gt;35) to guide listing for heart transplantation (HTx) in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Data comparing the mortality rates between each of these thresholds is lacking. The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to describe the 3-year mortality rate among patients with HFrEF based on the ISHLT recommendations.

METHODS
This was a secondary analysis of a combined cohort of patients (≥18 years) with HFrEF from Henry Ford Hospital (n=1,063) and the HF-ACTION study (n=1,772). The cohort was limited to patients who completed a cardiopulmonary exercise test on a treadmill and were prescribed a beta-adrenergic blockade at the time of the test. The primary outcome was probability of all-cause mortality at 3 years based on Kaplan-Meier estimates. Patients were censored at the date of HTx, left ventricular assist device implant, or last known alive. Mortality rates were calculated for patients with a peak VO2≤12 mL/kg/min, ppVO2≤50%, and VE/VCO2 slope&gt;35. The cohort was stratified by sex, age, obesity (body mass index [BMI]&gt; 30 kg/m2), and peak respiratory exchange ratio (RER). Mortality rates were compared to the 3-year mortality post HTx reported by ISHLT.

RESULTS
In our combined cohort (n=2,775; age=57±13 y; 19% women; 48% non-white), 3-year mortality for peak VO2≤12 mL/kg/min, ppVO2≤50%, and VE/VCO2 slope&gt;35 was 30%, 31%, and 28%, respectively. Each of these are higher than the 3-year mortality post HTx (20%). Similar results were observed by age below/above 50 y, BMI &lt; versus &gt; 30 kg/m2, RER ≤ versus &gt;1.05, and within men. However, among women the 3-year mortality was 18% for peak VO2≤12 mL/kg/min, 25% for ppVO2≤50%, and 21% for VE/VCO2 slope&gt;35.

CONCLUSIONS
ISHLT recommendations to guide listing for HTx for peak VO2≤12 mL/kg/min, ppVO2≤50%, and VE/VCO2 slope&gt;35 are associated with a higher 3-year mortality than patients post HTx irrespective of age, obesity, and RER. However, among women only ppVO2≤50% and VE/VCO2 slope&gt;35 identify patients with 3-year mortality that is higher than HTx.
ARE CHANGE IN METS DURING CARDIAC REHAB RELATED TO CHANGE IN PEAK VO2 AND 6MWD?

https://youtu.be/x7wTd1TmxrA

BACKGROUND
Change in metabolic equivalents of task (METs) during exercise training is often used as a program outcome in cardiac rehabilitation (CR). The purpose of this study is to assess the correlation between the change in estimated exercise training METs during a CR program and the change in six-minute walk distance (6MWD) and change in peak oxygen uptake (VO2).

METHODS
This is a secondary analysis of data from the iATTEND trial- a randomized controlled trial that compared facility based CR versus hybrid CR. Subjects included in this analysis had a history of myocardial infraction, coronary revascularization, heart failure, or valve surgery and completed ≥12 sessions of CR. METs during exercise training were estimated using ACSM treadmill equations from the average of the second, third and fourth sessions of CR and the final three sessions of CR. 6MWD and peak VO2 was derived from a symptom limited graded exercise treadmill test with gas exchange were collected at baseline before starting CR and within 14 days of completing CR. Pearson correlation coefficient was determined between change in estimated exercise training METs and both change in 6MWD and in peak VO2.

RESULTS
The final cohort was n=237 (age=59±12 years; 35% women; 57% non-white race). The correlation between change in estimated exercise training METs and 6MWD was r=0.257, r=0.245, and r=0.235 among patients who completed ≥12 sessions of CR, ≥24 sessions of CR, and 36 sessions of CR, respectively. The correlation between change in estimated exercise training METs and peak VO2 was r=0.121, r=0.100, and r=0.136 among patients who completed ≥12 sessions of CR, ≥24 sessions of CR, and 36 sessions of CR, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS
Although change in estimated exercise training METs during a CR program, change in 6MWD, and change in peak VO2 have each been used to describe change in exercise tolerance for program outcomes, the association between these variables is low (r= &lt;0.3). This finding was independent regardless of the number of sessions completed. Further research is needed to better understand the relationship between the various methods of assessing change in exercise tolerance and program outcomes in CR.
The Effect of Ceftriaxone on Penicillin-Induced Epileptiform Activity in Rats: An Electrophysıologıcal Study
Authors: KASAP ACUNGİL Zeynep , ÖZSOY Şeyma 
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Epilepsy is a set of chronic neurological disorders characterized by seizures associated with abnormal and uncontrolled neuronal activity of the brain. Glutamate is the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Excitatory amino acid transporter-2 (EAAT2), one of the major glutamate transporters, is responsible for total glutamate intake. Ceftriaxone is a β-lactam antibiotic that increases EAAT-2 expression and functional activity. This study aims to investigate the effects of ceftriaxone on penicillin-induced epileptiform activity by using electrocorticography (ECoG) in anesthetized rats.
Materials and Methods: In this study, 35 Wistar male rats were used. The rats were divided into five groups of 7. In group 1, 2.5 μL 500 IU of penicillin intracranially (i.c.) and 1 ml saline solution and intraperitoneally (i.p.) were given, respectively. In group 2, 200 mg/kg, i.p. of ceftriaxone was administered 30 minutes after penicillin. In group 3, 400 mg/kg of ceftriaxone was administered i.p. 30 minutes after penicillin. 500 mg/kg of sodium valproate was administered i.p. following 30 minutes of penicillin in group 4. In group 5, 400 mg/kg, i.p. of ceftriaxone and 500 mg/kg, i.p. of sodium valproate were administered 30 minutes after penicillin. The rats were placed in a stereotaxic device after the procedure, and electrocorticogram recordings were captured for 180 minutes.
Results: The acute treatment of ceftriaxone reduced spike-wave frequency and spike-wave amplitude of penicillin-induced epileptiform activity in the rats.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that acute ceftriaxone had an anticonvulsant effect on penicillin-induced focal onset epileptic activity. Ceftriaxone may has an anti-epileptogenic potential.
Revisiting the Brownings’ Poetry in the Pages of Neo-Victorian Novels and their Russian Translations
Authors: Haltrin-Khalturina Elena 
Published: February 2024

The neo-Victorian novels of our time (by A.S. Byatt, Maggie Power, Laura Fish, et.al) reverberate with echoes from English poetry of the 19th century, and not in the least, from famous dramatic monologues (the genre, which came into existence thanks to Robert Browning and Alfred Tennyson). According to the present-day scholarship, the term &quot;dramatic monologue&quot; denotes the versified speech of a character, who suffers from a mental disorder and tries to combine the frankness of confession with the art of argument and seduction. This monologue is usually addressed to another character – a silent interlocutor, in front of whom the speaker, in a burst of eloquence, reveals the unsightly sides of his perverted doings or his character. In Victorian England, dramatic monologues featured the same marginal characters, which figured in sensation fiction. The article dwells on the ways dramatic monologues are employed in “Possession” (1990) by A.S. Byatt and “Strange Music” (2008) by Laura Fish. The writers not only include extensive quotes from R. Browning and E. Barret-Browning, but also create their own variations of dramatic monologues in verse and prose. Of particular interest are Victorian and neo-Victorian artistic approaches to the criteria of ‘normality’, to the rhetoric of justification, to the methods of argumentation.
Movie Recommendation using Multiple Data Sources
Authors: Roy Debashish 
Published: February 2024

<p> </p>
<p>Most of the recommender systems are built for the content or item providers. For example, Netflix recommends movies or TV shows, Amazon recommends books or other items being sold on Amazon, Facebook or Twitter recommends popular posts or tweets, Pinterest recommends related pins, YouTube recommends videos, etc. Most of these recommender systems are designed based on the usage data collected on their own websites.</p>
<p>However, sometimes it could be helpful if we could get information about recommended items from multiple data sources, providing multiple perspectives for users to make their decisions. In this research work, we study different approaches to integrate multiple data sources and the effect on the recommendation results when multiple data sources are used to recommend items. We propose a multiple data source-based movie recommender system that uses MovieLens rating data, YouTube movie trailer data, Netflix rating data, and tweets from Twitter. The user feedback data such as likes, dislikes, comments on movie trailers posted on YouTube can be helpful side information for movie recommender systems. In this research work, we study the effect of adding these side information to the movie rating data. Our proposed recommendation framework can integrate the trailer and rating data adopting various integration strategies: integrating all the trailer data as movie features, using sentiment scores derived from the trailer comments as a rating matrix to integrate with the movie rating matrix, and treating others as the movie features, or only integrating the sentiment score based rating matrix with the movie rating matrix. Our experiment shows that if we include the movie trailer data, recommendation accuracy is improved. We also find that the most accurate result is achieved if all the trailer feedback data is integrated as movie features. We use both Matrix Factorization (MF) and Deep Neural Network (DNN) Models to design our system. We find that the DNN model performs better than the MF model. Our results show that when we include multiple data sources to recommend items using the DNN model, the recommendation accuracy (F1 score) is increased by 41% on average comparing to the case when only one data source is used.</p>
