Background: Laser-Doppler Vibrometry (LDV) is a laser-based technique that allows measuring the motion of moving targets with high spatial and temporal resolution. To demonstrate its use for the measurement of carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, a prototype system was employed in a clinical feasibility study. Data were acquired for analysis without prior quality control. Real-time application, however, will require a real-time assessment of signal quality. In this study, we (1) use template matching and matrix profile for assessing the quality of these previously acquired signals; (2) analyze the nature and achievable quality of acquired signals at the carotid and femoral measuring site; (3) explore models for automated classification of signal quality.Methods: Laser-Doppler Vibrometry data were acquired in 100 subjects (50M/50F) and consisted of 4–5 sequences of 20-s recordings of skin displacement, differentiated two times to yield acceleration. Each recording consisted of data from 12 laser beams, yielding 410 carotid-femoral and 407 carotid-carotid recordings. Data quality was visually assessed on a 1–5 scale, and a subset of best quality data was used to construct an acceleration template for both measuring sites. The time-varying cross-correlation of the acceleration signals with the template was computed. A quality metric constructed on several features of this template matching was derived. Next, the matrix-profile technique was applied to identify recurring features in the measured time series and derived a similar quality metric. The statistical distribution of the metrics, and their correlates with basic clinical data were assessed. Finally, logistic-regression-based classifiers were developed and their ability to automatically classify LDV-signal quality was assessed.Results: Automated quality metrics correlated well with visual scores. Signal quality was negatively correlated with BMI for femoral recordings but not for carotid recordings. Logistic regression models based on both methods yielded an accuracy of minimally 80% for our carotid and femoral recording data, reaching 87% for the femoral data.Conclusion: Both template matching and matrix profile were found suitable methods for automated grading of LDV signal quality and were able to generate a quality metric that was on par with the signal quality assessment of the expert. The classifiers, developed with both quality metrics, showed their potential for future real-time implementation.

Published: January 2022

Background: Cinematherapy and video treatments are artistic therapeutic techniques by which the individuals are exposed to their psycho-physical difficulties through the stories of the characters on the screen who are coping with the same issues that the patients are. Although these techniques are increasingly common within modern art therapies, there are neither comprehensive classifications of the different approaches nor agreement on their effectiveness. We performed a scoping review, describing different methodological approaches and outcome measures in cinematherapy and video treatments.Methodology: We searched articles in PubMed, PsycINFO and Google Scholar. We included: (i) articles in which subjects were treated for their difficulties with videos or films, (ii) articles written in English. Review articles and papers describing a research protocol without data collection were not included.Results: We analyzed 38 studies. Thirty-six reported a positive effect of the treatment. Seven studies used classical cinematherapy, adopting a qualitative approach to measure the therapy outcome. Thirty-one studies used different video treatments, 8 of which were defined as randomized controlled trials with specific objective therapy outcomes. Studies were mainly focused on behavioral and psychological difficulties in Autism Spectrum Disorders and Schizophrenia.Conclusion: Studies using video treatments more often rely upon structured experimental designs; on the contrary, those who used classical cinematherapy produced descriptive results. A more standardized methodological approach in terms of experimental design, procedure, and objective outcome measure is needed to provide evidence on the effectiveness of these techniques, promoting its application in the clinical field.

Published: January 2022

Background: Our instructional team at the The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill led an innovative project that used IDEO.org's design thinking process to create a brand-new interdisciplinary graduate course, housed in the school of public health, titled Design Thinking for the Public Good. We offer our course design process as a case study of the use of design thinking for course design.Methods: We collected data and generated insights through a variety of inspiration, ideation, and implementation design thinking methods alongside members of our three stakeholder groups: (1) faculty who teach or have taught courses related to design thinking at our higher education institution; (2) design thinking experts at ours and other institutions and outside of higher education; and (3) graduate students at our institution.Results: We learned that interdisciplinary design thinking courses should include growth-oriented reflection, explicit group work skills, and content with a real-world application.Conclusions: Our course design process and findings can be replicated to design courses regardless of area of study, level, or format.
Understanding Girls' Motivation to Participate in Sport: The Effects of Social Identity and Physical Self-Concept
Authors: Murray Ross M. , Koulanova Alyona , Sabiston Catherine M. 
Published: January 2022

Introduction: Girls are often less motivated to participate in community sport compared to boys. Having a strong social identity with a sports team is positively associated with motivation to continue participation in sport, yet the mechanisms explaining this association are not well-known. In the current study, physical self-concept is tested as a mediator of the association between social identity and motivation.Method: Girl badminton athletes were recruited to examine how the team environment shapes physical self-concept, and whether this association relates to motivation to participate in sport. Ninety-two girls completed a self-report survey to measure social identity, physical self-perceptions, and motivation. Two mediation models were conducted to examine whether physical self-concept mediated the relationship between social identity and autonomous motivation and controlled motivation.Results: Physical self-concept partially mediated the relationship between social identity and autonomous motivation. The bootstrapped unstandardized indirect effect was, b = 0.05, 95% CI = 0.002 to.14. Physical self-concept fully mediated the relationship between social identity and controlled motivation. The bootstrapped unstandardized indirect effect was, b = −0.13, 95% CI = −0.30 to −0.01, p = 0.04.Discussion: These results highlight the importance of the group context in relation to individual physical self-concept and motivation. Overall, targeting aspects of the team environment in community-level sport may be an important strategy to improve girls' physical self-concept, and autonomous motivation to continue sport participation.

Abstract
The influence of the reflected waves at the bonding boundary on the resonance waveform and temperature characteristics was investigated using

α

-quartz (QZ). The double-layered resonator specimen was fabricated using 129.55°Y- and 0°Y-cut QZ substrates with the thickness ratio x = 0.520. The temperature characteristic of the 1st and 2nd resonance modes at the range from 100 °C to 300 °C was deviated from the calculated values estimated by the equations considering thickness ratio and electric flux density ratio proposed in the previous work. Considering the phase matching conditions, it was clarified that the reflected waves at the bonding boundary are in phase in the lower acoustic impedance substrate and out of phase in the other substrate for the 1st mode, so the temperature characteristics are mainly dominated by that of the lower acoustic impedance substrate. In contrast, these relationships are reversed for the 2nd mode.

Abstract
We demonstrate a second harmonic generation (SHG) of 116 mW at 461 nm in a periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide when the power of the 922 nm fundamental light is coupled into the waveguide was 350 mW. The waveguide is 12.5 μm wide, 12.0 μm thick, 22 mm long, and has a 1 mm long slab window at the output facet of the waveguide. The temperature acceptance bandwidth of the phase-matching curve of the SHG is approximately 0.5 °C. The SHG system demonstrates good beam quality and is reliable for cold atom experiments, including research on optical lattice clocks.

Abstract
This study presents the positive effects of proton/electron irradiation on the crystallinity of GaP-based dilute nitride alloys. It is found that proton/electron irradiation followed by rapid thermal annealing enhances the PL peak intensity of GaPN alloys, whereas major photovoltaic III–V materials such as GaAs and InGaP generally degrade their crystal quality by irradiation damage. Atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy reveal no degradation of structural defects. GaAsPN solar cell test devices are then fabricated. Results show that the conversion efficiency increases by proton/electron irradiation, which is mainly caused by an increase in the short-circuit current.

Published: January 2022

Abstract
The intensification effect of edge radiation due to the periodic alignment of three-pole wigglers was analytically and numerically investigated. The general equation of the electric field of the radiation from relativistic an electron passing through the alignment was obtained by using a simple model. The model consists of an alternating alignment of straight sections and large gradient orbit sections due to the three-pole wigglers. Based on the radiation equation, various radiation properties such as spatial distribution and spectrum structure were studied. The angular distribution of the radiation was concentrated on concentric circles with an opening angle of order of

1
/
γ

rad along the longitudinal axis of the periodic alignment. The peak intensity of the radiation in the opening angle area was roughly in the same order as that of the peak radiation of a planar undulator. The integrated intensity around the opening angle area was mostly equivalent to that around the peak area of the planar undulator radiation. The spectrum of the radiation had a characteristic structure that was rather similar to the higher harmonic structure of undulator radiation. Furthermore, a numerical study showed that a general planar undulator with a K value of

2

satisfies approximately the radiation intensification condition due to the periodic alignment of the three-pole wigglers. The intensified edge radiation effect is considered to be included in the radiation of the planar undulator.

Jalan raya sebagai salah satu sarana transportasi darat, kegunaannya dirasakan semakin penting untuk menunjang peningkatan perekonomian nasional. Salah satu solusi untuk membangun jalan ini adalah dengan mencoba penggunaan perkerasan aspal SMA (Stone Matrix Asphalt). Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) adalah beton aspal dengan campuran panas terdiri dari agregat kasar, agregat halus, bahan pengisi serta bahan pengikat (aspal). Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan Asbuton butir T.5/20 untuk perkerasan aspal Stone Matrix Asphalt terhadap karakteristik Marshall. Material yang digunakan pada campuran yaitu agregat kasar yang berasal dari pangkalan, agregat halus, aspal pen 60/70 serta asbuton butir T.5/20 yang berasal dari Pulau Buton Sulawesi Tenggara. Pengujian Marshall untuk aspal Stone Matrix Asphalt pada campuran agregat dengan kadar aspal 4,5%, 5%, 5,5% dan 6% diperoleh nilai kadar aspal optimum sebesar 5,75%. Setelah didapatkan kadar aspal optimum dilakukan modifikasi dengan penambahan asbuton butir T.5/20 pada campuran agregat sebanyak 2%, 2,5%, dan 3%. Semakin banyak penggunaan asbuton butir pada campuran maka nilai stabilitas yang didapatkan semakin meningkat nilai nya. Stabilitas merupakan indikator kekuatan lapis perkerasan dalam memikul beban lalu-lintas. Aspal Stone Matrix Asphalt didesain untuk mendapatkan kadar rongga yang besar, sedangkan persentase rongga VMA yang didapatkan nilainya semakin kecil dan tidak memenuhi syarat spesifikasi.

Published: January 2022

La hipertensión arterial (HTA) constituye un importante problema de salud pública, ya que es una enfermedad crónica y asintomática que requiere la adherencia de los pacientes al tratamiento de una manera permanente y sistemática para su control. El objetivo de este proyecto fue determinar el comportamiento de la adherencia terapéutica en pacientes con hipertensión arterial. Para ello se realizó un estudio descriptivo, sustentado en la revisión bibliográfica de investigaciones de tipo científico, relacionadas con el tema, seleccionándose para la investigación 39 publicados entre 2015 y 2020, entre los cuales están textos, páginas web, artículos de Medline Plus, Clinic Barcelona, Cuídate Plus, SciELO. La técnica utilizada fue la compilación bibliográfica. Los resultados que más destacan están los factores genéticos, socioeconómicos y su influencia negativa en la adherencia al tratamiento, debido al bajo nivel educativo y a la poca disponibilidad económica para cubrir los gastos que requiere el tratamiento; las características de la enfermedad crónica y frecuentemente asintomática dificulta la toma de conciencia; el ineficiente seguimiento a los pacientes y los insuficientes conocimientos sobre hipertensión arterial y su terapéutica, por parte de los profesionales, contribuyen a la falta de adherencia al tratamiento hipotensor.
