Video Game Level Design
Authors: Salmond Michael 
Published: January 2022

Level design connects the player to the game through challenges, experiences, and emotions. This book is an invaluable introduction to the evolving practices of level designers across the games industry. The increasingly complex role of the level designer requires technical and creative skill as it brings together architecture, art, player psychology, interaction design, usability, and experience design. This book explores in detail the principles designers employ when planning levels and building engaging spaces for the player. As well as practical approaches to level design, the book delves into the theoretical underpinnings of the processes and charts a path towards thinking like a level designer.
Throughout the book you will be guided through the fundamentals of level design: each chapter builds on the types of research, ideation, best practices, and methodologies level designers employ when creating prototypes and shipped games. A series of interviews with designers and case studies from game studios examine the application of industry-wide expertise used to create triple-A and indie game titles. By the end of this book you will have gained valuable insight into the role of a level designer and be able to devise, plan, and build your own engaging and entertaining game levels.
Color It True
Authors: Pomerance Murray 
Published: January 2022

This often-startlingly original book introduces a new way of thinking about color in film as distinct from existing approaches which tend to emphasize either technical processes and/or histories of film coloration, or the meaning(s) of color as metaphor or symbol, or else part of a broader signifying system. Murray Pomerance’s latest meditation on cinema has the author embed himself in various ways of thinking about color; not ways of framing it as a production trick or a symbolic language but ways of wondering how the color effect onscreen can work in the act of viewing.
Pomerance examines many issues, including acuity, dreaming, interrelationships, saturations, color contrasts, color and performance (color as a performance aid or even performance substitute), and more. The lavender of the photographer’s seamless in Antonioni’s Blow-Up taken in itself as an explosion of color worked into form, and then considered both as part of the story and part of our experience.
The 14 chapters of this book each discuss a single primary color as regards to our experience of cinema. After opening the idea of such an exploration in terms of the history of our apperception and the variation in our experience that color germinates, Color It True takes form.
The Godfather
Authors: Lewis Jon 
Published: January 2022

Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather (1972) marked a transition in American film-making, and its success – as a work of art, as a creative ‘property’ exploited by its studio, Paramount Pictures; and as a model for aspiring auteurist film-makers – changed Hollywood forever.
Jon Lewis's study of The Godfather begins with a close look at the film's audacious visual style (the long, theatrical set pieces; the chiaroscuro lighting, the climactic montage paralleling a family baptism with a series of brutal murders). The analysis of visual style is paired with a discussion of the movie's principal themes: Vito and Michael's attempt to balance the obligations of business and family, their struggle with assimilation, the temptations and pitfalls of capitalist accumulation, and the larger drama of succession from father to son, from one generation to the next.
The textual analysis precedes a production history that views The Godfather as a singularly important film in Hollywood's dramatic box-office turnaround in the early 1970s. And then, finally, the book takes a long hard look at the gangster himself both on screen and off. Hollywood publicity attending the gangster film from its inception in the silent era to the present has endeavoured to dull the distinction between the real and movie gangster, insisting that each film has been culled from the day's sordid headlines. Looking at the drama on screen and the production history behind the scenes, Lewis uncovers a series of real gangster backstories, revealing, finally, how millions of dollars of mob money may well have funded the film in the first place, and how, as things played out, The Godfather saved Paramount Studios and the rest of Hollywood as well.
Components of 21 years (1995–2015) of absolute sea level trends in the Arctic
Authors: Ludwigsen Carsten Bjerre , Andersen Ole Baltazar , Rose Stine Kildegaard 
Published: January 2022

Abstract. The Arctic Ocean is at the frontier of the fast-changing climate in the northern latitudes, and sea level trends are a bulk measure of ongoing
processes related to climate change. Observations of sea level in the Arctic Ocean are nonetheless difficult to validate with independent measurements,
and this is globally the region where the sea level trend (SLT) is most uncertain. The aim of this study is to create a satellite-independent
reconstruction of Arctic SLT, as it is observed by altimetry and tide gauges (TGs). Previous studies use Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment
(GRACE) observations to estimate the manometric (mass component of) SLT. GRACE estimates, however, are challenged by large mass changes on land, which
are difficult to separate from much smaller ocean mass changes. Furthermore, GRACE is not available before 2003, which significantly limits the period
and makes the trend more vulnerable to short-term changes. As an alternative approach, this study estimates the climate-change-driven Arctic
manometric SLT from the Arctic sea level fingerprints of glaciers, Greenland, Antarctica and glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) with the addition of the
long-term inverse barometer (IB) effect. The halosteric and thermosteric components complete the reconstructed Arctic SLT and are estimated by
interpolating 300 000 temperature (T) and salinity (S) in situ observations. The SLT from 1995–2015 is compared to the observed SLT from altimetry and 12 selected tide gauges (TGs) corrected for vertical land movement
(VLM). The reconstructed estimate manifests the salinity-driven halosteric component as dominating the spatial SLT pattern with variations
between −7 and 10 mm yr−1. The manometric SLT in comparison is estimated to be 1–2 mm yr−1 for most of the Arctic Ocean. The
reconstructed SLT shows a larger sea level rise in the Beaufort Sea compared to altimetry, an issue that is also identified by previous studies. There is a
TG-observed sea level rise in the Siberian Arctic in contrast to the sea level fall from the reconstructed and altimetric estimate. From 1995–2015 the reconstructed SLT agrees within the 68 % confidence interval with the SLT from observed altimetry in 87 % of the
Arctic between 65∘ N and 82∘ N (R=0.50) and with 5 of 12 TG-derived (VLM-corrected) SLT estimates. The residuals are seemingly
smaller than results from previous studies using GRACE estimates and modeled T–S data. The spatial correlation of the reconstructed SLT to
altimetric SLT during the GRACE period (2003–2015) is R=0.38 and R=0.34/R=0.37 if GRACE estimates are used instead of the constructed
manometric component. Thus, the reconstructed manometric component is suggested as a legitimate alternative to GRACE that can be projected into the
past and future.

The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of combined one-stage reconstruction of extensive complex defects of lower limb tissues and to analyze postoperative complications.Material and methods. The research involved 25 patients with bone and soft tissue defects of lower extremities. The first group included 16 patients, where the replacement of bone and soft-tissue defects of the lower leg was carried out with one complex bone-skin graft. The second group consisted of 9 patients who, along with major defects of the tibia, had concomitant extensive damage of soft tissues. To replace bone and soft-tissue limb defects, the autotransplantation technique of 2 free flaps, bone and soft-tissue (combined) was used.Results and discussion. In our study, we analyzed early and late postoperative complications, as well as the average time of fusion of the graft with the recipient bed and restoration time of the lower limb supportability. In the second group of patients, we did not observe any critical complications in the early postoperative period that would affect the results of patient`s treatment. The increase in the incidence of vascular complications is not statistically significant. In the late postoperative period (30 days or more), stress fractures of the fibular graft, traumatic fracture of the fibular graft, delayed consolidation of the graft ends with the recipient bone lasting more than 6 months were observed in both groups of patients. The incidence of these complications was comparable in both groups, there were no statistically significant differences. The average time of fusion of the graft with the recipient bed and the time of restoration of the lower limb supportability did not have statistically significant differences.Conclusion. One-stage reconstruction of extensive deep limb tissue defects by using an appropriate combination of two vascularized complex grafts (bone and soft tissue) provides a complete reconstruction of complex limb tissue defects without increasing the time of bone consolidation and the frequency of occurrence of critical complications in the postoperative period (total necrosis of vascularized flaps and deep wound infection process).

El presente trabajo describe y analiza el tema de la pobreza alimentaria en el municipio de Chacsinkín, Yucatán. La metodología en la investigación de los problemas de la salud se ha desarrollado a partir de un enfoque cuantitativo y estadístico, dejando a un lado la parte cualitativa, en donde se toman en cuenta la ideología del sujeto/actor evaluado. Por este motivo, hacemos uso del método sociológico para tomar en cuenta la perspectiva de los sujetos participantes en la investigación. La sociología nos permite observar un universo de interpretaciones entre los diversos sujetos, a partir de las estructuras sociales predeterminadas, que convergen con las experiencias y acciones que viven los individuos y que producen las interpretaciones del mundo. Observaremos que ciertos fenómenos sociales guardan un fuerte vínculo con la pobreza alimentaria en Chacsinkin.

Published: January 2022

Poly-cystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is described as an endocrine disorderliness emerging from hormonal inequality and low form of inflammation. PCOS is a metabolic syndrome which includes complex medical treatments which are expensive and has many side effects. The purpose of review is to extract a literature that proves that diet has significant role in treatment of PCOS. After going through the published literature and initially 150 articles were included, which were after reducing 98 the duplicates, 22 irrelevant diseases were excluded. However, title and abstract 30-full text articles were eligiblewere relevant to topic role of seeds cycling containing omega 3 fatty acids on Pcos.Different review papers which contained data the role of different seeds i.e. flax seeds,sesame seeds,pumpkin seeds,sunflower seeds seperately then we came to conclusion that n-3 fatty acids were the main component among these seeds from plant sources which improves hormonal disturbances and insulin resistance in PCOS patients. This review literature is assessed from the precious data from Medline/PubMed, google scholar until November 2020. The present review is aimed to investigate the influence of n-3 fatty acid in balancing hormones, testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH) and insulin levels.
186 Reflections on Remote Simulation: What Does This Mean That Candidates Miss?
Authors: Taylor Jennifer 
Published: January 2022

Our organization has been running some courses remotely since autumn 2020. Sessions for medical students and foundation doctors have taken place, allowing those who are isolating or shielding to participate, and facilitating the training of those who are outside our organization. We are now writing many courses with remote learning in mind and creating our course materials in digital format. This means that we are not starting from scratch if changes in circumstance prevent face-to-face training in the future. The remote format involves candidates controlling an ‘avatar’ in-centre, supported by a confederate (in nursing or junior doctor role), with access to a digital notes bundle. The screen on Microsoft Teams has a relatively fixed room view taking up the majority of the screen, with a change in feed to a different camera if appropriate to the flow of the scenario – to focus on the defibrillator, for example, with observations in a corner, and results popping up when requested. There is no option for candidates to alter this view. During a dry-run of a scenario involving a simulated patient (played by a faculty member) with hallucinations due to delirium, the candidate struggled in their appreciation of how abnormal the patient’s behaviours were, as they were unable to see all the small movements that were evident to those of us in the room, and low volume speech and muttering might have been difficult to hear, despite the faculty member wearing a microphone, though may have been easier through headphones. We sought feedback on the format and the feasibility for the scenario from the candidate, and the phrase ‘I didn’t see/hear that’ was used a lot. This has led me to wonder how much detail our candidates are dialling in from home, particularly those who are using a tablet, phone or laptop with a small screen, and have been missing, and how that might have affected their behaviour and clinical reasoning. Submitted feedback makes little reference to missing things in the course of the scenarios, but some candidates seem to have had more issues than others. This may have been due to technical or connectivity problems but could be viewed as a limitation of the set-up in its current format. Reviewing the feedback, while some expressed frustration about technical issues, there are many more comments about how they had enjoyed the experience and hoped it will continue. The jury seems to be out, but there is much to work on as we move forward.
172 Student Perception of Skills and Simulation Delivery Within an Undergraduate Nursing Curriculum: Looking at the Creation and Introduction of a Skills and Simulation Delivery Framework
Authors: Browne Emily , Cust Fiona , Woodrow-Hirst Ben , Friend Amanda 
Published: January 2022

When developing our new undergraduate nursing curriculum, we wanted to ensure that it was simulation based; however, we were unable to find frameworks or direction of how to integrate this. Despite a wealth of evidence to support the use of simulation as an effective modality, there is no current literature that describes a system of integrating simulation in a standardized manner. Ferguson The aim of this research was to have both qualitative and quantitative data to support the hypothesis that a framework is needed to integrate skills and simulation with a healthcare education curriculum.For this study, there was no new addition of simulation; the aim was to look at what was in existence and gather student experience data.This study took a mixed methodology collecting both qualitative and quantitative data through a questionnaire. The questionnaire was designed to ascertain the student’s existing level of experience in skills and simulation, their opinion as to how effective the current method of delivery was. Opinion was also sought on thoughts in relation to changing the delivery of skills and simulation. All first- and second-year pre-registration nursing students were invited to take part. Ethical approval was sought and granted by the university ethics panel.Three main themes were generated and will be discussed. Communication: many students described their lack of confidence in communicating with senior staff and other members of the multi-disciplinary team (MDT). This was, they felt, linked with a lack of experience and a lack of exposure to working with more senior staff. Confidence within their role: Students felt that simulation did improve their confidence but that there should be much more of it within their curriculum. They discussed the fact that it was a much more powerful resource than ‘sitting in a lecture theatre’. Feeling stressed and intimidated: Students reported that although the high-fidelity simulation sessions and scenarios could prepare them for ‘real-life’ emergency situations they did find them rather stressful and intimidating.The results of this initial study demonstrated that students wanted more simulation and that their confidence and competence would be improved from more simulated practice. From the responses given, it was evident that the current delivery of clinical skills and simulation preparation was not effective and student satisfaction was poor. In response to these findings, we have developed a five-stage approach to create a scaffolding of learning bringing simulation into the curriculum from the very start allowing for a gradual cognitive load. The authors expect to find an improvement in the student perceptions of both their competence and confidence in relation to clinical practice.

Published: January 2022

A human factor-based simulation course is run for foundation doctors and nurses annually at a London teaching hospital. Simulation helps to improve technical and non-technical skills in a supportive environment The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of the course adaptations on the participants’ learning experience, delivery of learning objectives and quality of teaching.The course comprises simulated scenarios with facilitated debrief sessions. Post-COVID-19 changes comprised: moving to a half-day format, reducing the number of scenarios from five to three, reducing the number of participants per session, running multiple courses on 1 day and reducing debriefing time. Feedback was gathered pre- and post-course using SurveyMonkey. The questionnaires utilized free-text answers and Likert scales based on the Human Factors Skills for Healthcare Instrument Despite changes made, participants reported an improvement in clinical skills (Percentage of participants who reported feeling confident in clinical skillsPercentage of participants who reported that they could adequately do the following Human Factors Skills for Healthcare Instrument skillsCommon themes arising from participants’ feedbackThis course demonstrates that simulation can be delivered safely throughout a pandemic while maintaining education value. Participants continued to find simulation useful; the use of PPE did not affect debriefing and learning processes. Changes did arise as a result of the changes: increased workload on staff (multiple sessions), timing issues, repetition in scenarios delivered and ward pressures on participants. Moving forwards, some adaptations such as the use of PPE will remain, but the course will return to a full day. To further evaluate the impact of the changes made. We are currently obtaining feedback from faculty.
