description: Background: The purpose of this systematic review was to examine the relationships between sedentary behaviour (SB) and health indicators in children aged 0 to 4 years, and to determine what doses of SB (i.e., duration, patterns [frequency, interruptions], and type) were associated with health indicators. Methods: Online databases were searched for peer-reviewed studies that met the a priori inclusion criteria: population (apparently healthy, 1 month to 4.99 years), intervention/exposure and comparator (durations, patterns, and types of SB), and outcome/health indicator (critical: adiposity, motor development, psychosocial health, cognitive development; important: bone and skeletal health, cardiometabolic health, fitness, risks/harm). The quality of the evidence was assessed by study design and outcome using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) framework. Results: Due to heterogeneity, meta-analyses were not possible; instead, narrative syntheses were conducted, structured around the health indicator and type of SB. A total of 96 studies were included (195,430 participants from 33 countries). Study designs were: randomized controlled trial (n = 1), case-control (n = 3), longitudinal (n = 25), longitudinal with additional cross-sectional analyses (n = 5), and cross-sectional (n = 62). Evidence quality ranged from “very low” to “moderate”. Associations between objectively measured total sedentary time and indicators of adiposity and motor development were predominantly null. Associations between screen time and indicators of adiposity, motor or cognitive development, and psychosocial health were primarily unfavourable or null. Associations between reading/storytelling and indicators of cognitive development were favourable or null. Associations between time spent seated (e.g., in car seats or strollers) or in the supine position, and indicators of adiposity and motor development, were primarily unfavourable or null. Data were scarce for other outcomes. Conclusions: These findings continue to support the importance of minimizing screen time for disease prevention and health promotion in the early years, but also highlight the potential cognitive benefits of interactive non-screen-based sedentary behaviours such as reading and storytelling. Additional high-quality research using valid and reliable measures is needed to more definitively establish the relationships between durations, patterns, and types of SB and health indicators, and to provide insight into the appropriate dose of SB for optimal health in the early years.

description: In this work we present a new open source software package offering a unified framework for the real-time adaptation of fMRI stimulation procedures. The software provides a straightforward setup and highly flexible approach to adapt fMRI paradigms while the experiment is running. The general framework comprises the inclusion of parameters from subject’s compliance, such as directing gaze to visually presented stimuli and physiological fluctuations, like blood pressure or pulse. Additionally, this approach yields possibilities to investigate complex scientific questions, for example the influence of EEG rhythms or fMRI signals results themselves. To prove the concept of this approach, we used our software in a usability example for an fMRI experiment where the presentation of emotional pictures was dependent on the subject’s gaze position. This can have a significant impact on the results. So far, if this is taken into account during fMRI data analysis, it is commonly done by the post-hoc removal of erroneous trials. Here, we propose an a priori adaptation of the paradigm during the experiment’s runtime. Our fMRI findings clearly show the benefits of an adapted paradigm in terms of statistical power and higher effect sizes in emotion-related brain regions. This can be of special interest for all experiments with low statistical power due to a limited number of subjects, a limited amount of time, costs or available data to analyze, as is the case with real-time fMRI.

description: Hybridization-based target enrichment protocols require relatively large starting amounts of genomic DNA, which is not always available. Here, we tested three approaches to pre-capture library preparation starting from 10 ng of genomic DNA: (i and ii) whole-genome amplification of DNA samples with REPLI-g (Qiagen) and GenomePlex (Sigma) kits followed by standard library preparation, and (iii) library construction with a low input oriented ThruPLEX kit (Rubicon Genomics). Exome capture with Agilent SureSelectXT2 Human AllExon v4+UTRs capture probes, and HiSeq2000 sequencing were performed for test libraries along with the control library prepared from 1 µg of starting DNA. Tested protocols were characterized in terms of mapping efficiency, enrichment ratio, coverage of the target region, and reliability of SNP genotyping. REPLI-g- and ThruPLEX-FD-based protocols seem to be adequate solutions for exome sequencing of low input samples

description: An experimental study was conducted to examine the behaviour of reactive and non-reactive systems by displacement experiments of light paraffin oil/decane mixtures by water in a range of mobility ratios. Displacement experiments were performed in a Hele-Shaw cell, simulated a quarter of a reversed five-spot pattern. Displacement patterns produced by reactive and non-reactive systems were compared. It showed that the displacement patterns in the case of the reactive system were completely different from the non-reactive system. The recovery in the reactive system was always higher than in the non-reactive system. The recovery at breakthrough for both the reactive and non-reactive systems increased with the decrease in viscosity of oil. In the non-reactive system, total recovery at one hour after breakthrough increases with the decrease in oil viscosity, while in reactive system total recovery after one hour is nearly constant and independent of oil phase viscosity. Displacement experiments were performed for both favourable and unfavourable mobility ratios. In another series of displacement experiments, a slug of alkaline solution was injected followed by viscous water-glycerine solution. It was found that for all oil solutions, the breakthrough recovery for both reactive and non-reactive systems was lower in the case with a viscous backup. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: We present measurements of the specific star-formation rate (SSFR)-stellar mass relation for star-forming galaxies. Our deep spectroscopic samples are based on the Redshift One LDSS3 Emission line Survey, ROLES, and European Southern Observatory, ESO, public spectroscopy at z=1, and on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) at z=0.1. These datasets cover an equally deep mass range of 8.5<~log(M*/Msun)<~11 at both epochs. We find that the SSFR--mass relation evolves in a way which is remarkably independent of stellar mass, as we previously found for the star-formation rate density (SFRD)--mass relation. At higher masses, such as those probed by previous surveys, the evolution in SSFR--mass is almost independent of stellar mass. At higher masses (log(M*/Msun)>10) the shapes of the cumulative cosmic SFRDs are very similar at both z=0.1 and z=1.0, both showing 70% of the total SFRD above a mass of log(M*/Msun)>10. Mass functions are constructed for star-forming galaxies and found to evolve by only <35% between z=1 and z=0.1 over the whole mass range. The evolution is such that the mass function decreases with increasing cosmic time, confirming that galaxies are leaving the star-forming sequence/blue cloud. The observational results are extended to z~2 by adding two recent Lyman break galaxy samples, and data at these three epochs (z=0.1, 1, 2) are compared with the GALFORM semi-analytic model of galaxy formation. GALFORM predicts an overall SFR density (SFRD) as a function of stellar mass in reasonable agreement with the observations. The star formation timescales inferred from 1/SSFR also give reasonable overall agreement, with the agreement becoming worse at the lowest and highest masses. The models do not reproduce the SSFR upturn seen in our data at low masses, where the effects of extinction and active galactic nuclei feedback should be minimal and the comparison should be most robust.

description: Background: It is important to engage stakeholders and end users in the development of guidelines for knowledge translation purposes. The aim of this study was to examine stakeholders’ (experts in pediatric and family medicine, physical activity knowledge translation, and research) and end users’ (parents and early childhood educators) perceptions of the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for the Early Years (0–4 years). Methods: Stakeholders (n = 10) engaged in telephone interviews and end users (n = 92) participated in focus groups (n = 14) to discuss perceived clarity and need for the guidelines, potential barriers to implementation, identification of credible messengers, and methods for dissemination of the guidelines. A thematic analysis was conducted. Results: The proposed guidelines were very well received by both stakeholders and end users. A clear need for such guidelines was identified, and most believed the guidelines were achievable. Stakeholders and end users identified several potential barriers to uptake, including low awareness of current guidelines; ‘daily challenges’ such as allure of screen time, lack of time, and competing priorities; and challenges in the context of shifting social norms. A range of methods and messengers of dissemination were identified. Medical and child care settings were the most frequently cited places for dissemination, and physicians and early childhood educators were the most common suggestions for messengers. Conclusions: There was consistent support for the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for the Early Years (0–4 years) from both stakeholders and end users. Moving forward, it is important to dedicate appropriate support and funding toward dissemination efforts in order to reach end users, particularly parents and early childhood educators.

description: This study investigated the effects of transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) on social-emotional functioning and sensory processing in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Twenty children with ASD underwent either active tVNS or sham stimulation concurrently with occupational therapy for 4 weeks. Measures of facial emotion recognition, emotional reactivity, and sensory processing patterns were assessed pre- and post-intervention. Results showed significant improvements in facial emotion recognition, emotional regulation, sensory registration, fine motor skills, and reductions in sensory-seeking behaviors in the tVNS group compared to controls. This research provides evidence for the potential of non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation as a novel therapeutic approach for addressing core deficits in ASD, supporting the interoceptive model of autism and highlighting the role of the vagus nerve in mediating social-emotional and sensory difficulties.

description: We use the wide-field capabilities of the 2 degree field fibre positioner and the AAOmega spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) to obtain redshifts of galaxies that hosted supernovae during the first 3 years of the Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS). With exposure times ranging from 10 to 60 ks per galaxy, we were able to obtain redshifts for 400 host galaxies in two SNLS fields, thereby substantially increasing the total number of SNLS supernovae with host galaxy redshifts. The median redshift of the galaxies in our sample that hosted photometrically classified Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) is z ~ 0.77, which is 25% higher than the median redshift of spectroscopically confirmed SNe Ia in the 3-year sample of the SNLS. Our results demonstrate that one can use wide-field fibre-fed multi object spectrographs on 4-m telescopes to efficiently obtain redshifts for large numbers of supernova host galaxies over the large areas of the sky that will be covered by future high-redshift supernova surveys, such as the Dark Energy Survey.
The Renaissance sense of sleep in Shakespeare's plays, together with some modern critical interpretations.

Subjects: subject: Theater.

description: The thesis, "The Renaissance Sense of Sleep in Shakespeare's Plays, Together with Some Modern Critical Interpretations," examines Shakespeare's use of sleep in his plays. Shakespeare uses sleep to denote physical action, the personalities of characters, and the dramatic situation and general condition of the drama and of those involved in the drama. He uses natural sleep for physical recuperation to indicate a character's previous action, such as a tiring journey or excessive drinking. He uses unnatural sleep induced by magic or supernatural power to control and determine dramatic development. He makes use of extensive meanings of the peace and serenity of sleep in the sense of the age old concept of the immortality of the soul, commonly held, also, by Renaissance writers who considered life and death as a state of peripheral transition in the infinity of eternal peace. In keeping with the sense of sleep as a lack of consciousness or awareness of reality, Shakespeare often depicts the state of dull sensibility as a sleep to reveal unnatural states, such as a character's "distracted mind" or "madness." This thesis contains eight chapters: the first chapter deals with an overall general view of Shakespeare's use of sleep, and the following seven chapters present detailed analyses of the use of sleep in selected major tragedies and romance-comedies. Generally, Shakespeare presents the fortunate soul possessed of the serenity and peace of sleep and the unfortunate, sorrowful, or tormented soul wanting such serenity and peace. In his later plays, Shakespeare uses sleep more pervasively, extensively, and figuratively than in most of the early plays. He uses sleep to reveal the responsive awareness or unawareness of characters in their dramatic condition. He uses it to denote temporary or permanent peace that can be obtained by undergoing figuratively purgatorial sleep. In the final romance-comedies, he uses the unnatural sleep caused by the intervention of supernatural powers to render consolation and provide for the restoration of orderly peace and blissful harmony. Shakespeare uses the concept, action, and consequences of sleep denotatively and connotatively, functionally and pervasively, in the dramatic development of the play itself.

description: During the research, the operation of the DSU control cabinet was analyzed, and a controller was selected for the modernization of the control cabinet in the market of DSU controllers manufactured in China. As a result, it was revealed that this industry has great potential both due to the number of manufacturers and production capabilities, and due to the introduction of new technologies in the field of electronics and automation. The modernization of the control cabinets of marine diesel generator sets is an important step towards improving the overall efficiency and safety of marine vessels. The results obtained and the proposed recommendations can be useful for shipbuilding and shipping companies seeking to find various alternatives, innovate and improve their technical and operational characteristics.
The effects of algae and their products on heavy metal binding.

Subjects: subject: Environmental Sciences.

description: Using ion-specific electrode and atomic absorption spectroscopy the heavy metal (HM) binding capacities of four Ottawa area natural water systems supporting algal blooms were examined, and the effects of HM ions and Anabaena 7120 on each other were studied. The HM binding capacities of the natural water systems studied during 1975 were much higher than those reported previously for Ottawa River water. The HM binding capacities of at least two systems had not decreased several months after the blooms disappeared. Ultrafiltration of the water did not decrease the HM binding capacities of the waters indicating that the HM binding substrate had a molecular weight of less than 500. Complete aching of the water samples removed the Hg 2+ binding capacity, indicating that organic carbon compounds formed the predominant HM binding substrate in the four water systems. Concentrations of 10-3M and 10-4M Cu(NO3)2 and Cd(NO3)2 completely inhibited growth of Anabaena 7120 in GO medium. Copper and cadmium concentrations below 10-4M produced an elongated lag phase compared to cultures with no HM ions present in the medium. When 10-5M nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) was added to the medium with equal concentrations of Cu(NO3)2 or Cd(NO 3)2 the lag phase was further elongated. An elongated lag phase in Anabaena 7120 cultures was produced by 10-5M to 10-7M Pb(NO 3)2. Growth was not inhibited by 10-3, 10-4 or 10-8M Pb(NO3) 2 in GO medium. A heavy white precipitate formed in GO medium containing 10-3M and 10-4M Pb(NO3) 2. Atomic absorption analysis of Anabaena 7120 culture grown in GO medium containing 10-5 Cd(NO3) 2 had the same cadmium concentration associated with the cell fraction after the lag phase as at the beginning. In contrast, copper was almost completely released from the cells at the end of the lag phase.

description: We study the interplay between gas phase metallicity (Z), specific star formation rate (SSFR) and neutral hydrogen gas (H i) for galaxies of different stellar masses. Our study uses spectroscopic data from Galaxy and Mass Assembly and Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) star-forming galaxies, as well as H i detection from the Arecibo Legacy Fast Arecibo L-band Feed Array (ALFALFA) and Galex Arecibo SDSS Survey (GASS) public catalogues. We present a model based on the Z–SSFR relation that shows that at a given stellar mass, depending on the amount of gas, galaxies will follow opposite behaviours. Low-mass galaxies with a large amount of gas will show high SSFR and low metallicities, while low-mass galaxies with small amounts of gas will show lower SSFR and high metallicities. In contrast, massive galaxies with a large amount of gas will show moderate SSFR and high metallicities, while massive galaxies with small amounts of gas will show low SSFR and low metallicities. Using ALFALFA and GASS counterparts, we find that the amount of gas is related to those drastic differences in Z and SSFR for galaxies of a similar stellar mass.

description: Fifty-one frost mounds were examined in Wolf Creek, Yukon Territory (60°30'N, 135°13'W) at an elevation of 1235 m a.s.l. Cryostratigraphic analyses and aerial photographic interpretation were undertaken to investigate the origin and longevity of the mounds, and to assess their utility as climatic indicators. It was determined that 37 mounds were palsas, as evidenced by their dimensions, cryostructure of segregated ice and location within a fen; one mound was a frost blister, as evidenced by its core of intrusive ice; one mound may have been a compound form, with segregation and possibly intrusive ice; and 12 mounds were termed aggradational permafrost mounds as their cores were of segregated ice but they did not fit the locational requirements to be palsas. Aerial photographs, spanning the period from 1946 to 2001, showed that palsas at the study site have been aggrading and degrading continually over the past 55 years, and are continuing to do so.

description: Augmented Reality (AR) is a powerful user interface paradigm which enhances a user's perception by incorporating computer-generated information into the real world. Mobile computing, typically realized by a wearable computer, allows users to access and manipulate information anytime, regardless of location. Computer supported collaborative work allows the computer to be used as a medium for human communication. The combination of these three technologies, called mobile collaborative augmented reality, promises exciting new applications. Training costs are a considerable part of development expenses in many industries, especially when the customers or employees need to learn to use devices that are expensive and costly to repair. The problem is compounded when the trainers are far from the would-be trainees. This thesis describes a prototype developed for collaborative industrial teletraining, based on mobile collaborative augmented reality. The prototype enables trainees to engage in a real environment and do a training exercise on task performance.

description: Advances in smart home technological innovation over the years has seen an increase in consumer interests. However, research contexts for smart homes tend to skew towards “traditional” living and housing situations. Through my Ph.D. research, I raise awareness of the need to consider other user contexts and living situations. I do this by exploring opportunities for smart home innovation with elderly women who live alone. I work with the elderly women to understand their values, needs, and collaboratively create new smart home devices. The outcome of my research would be smart home devices that support the lives and contexts of elderly women living alone.

description: Wearable technologies have the potential to integrate information that has meaning for people as they go about their everyday lives. In particular they can reflect aspects of the social environment, extending the periphery of the person and allowing them to experience social encounters with greater depth. This research concerns the indicative qualities of interactive clothing to support social relations in informal settings.
A Bayesian framework for panoramic imaging of complex scenes
Creators: name: Brunton, Alan
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: This thesis presents a Bayesian framework for generating a panoramic image of a scene from a set of images, where there is only a small amount of overlap between adjacent images. Dense correspondence is computed using loopy belief propagation on a pair-wise Markov random field, and used to resample and blend the input images to remove artifacts in overlapping regions and seams along the overlap boundaries. Bayesian approaches have been used extensively in vision and imaging, and involve computing an observational likelihood from the input images and imposing a priori constraints. Photoconsistency or matching cost computed from the images is used as the likelihood in this thesis. The primary contribution of this thesis is the use of and efficient belief propagation algorithm to yield the piecewise smooth resampling of the input images with the highest probability of not producing artifacts or seams.

description: We present observations of 18 galaxies from the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey made with the SPIRAL optical integral field unit (IFU) on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. The galaxies are selected to have a narrow range in stellar mass (6 × 109 < M* < 2 × 1010 M⊙) in order to focus on the effects of environment. Local galaxy environments are measured quantitatively using fifth nearest neighbour surface densities. We find that the total star formation rates (SFR) measured from the IFU data are consistent with total SFRs measured from aperture correcting either GAMA or Sloan Digital Sky Survey single-fibre observations. The mean differences are SFRGAMA/SFRIFU = 1.26 ± 0.23, σ = 0.90 and for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey we similarly find SFRBrinchmann/SFRIFU = 1.34 ± 0.17, σ = 0.67. Examining the relationships with environment, we find that off-centre and clumpy Hα emission is not significantly dependent on environment, being present in 2/7 (29+20−11 per cent) galaxies in high-density environments (>0.77 Mpc−2), and 5/11 (45+15−13 per cent) galaxies in low-density environments (<0.77 Mpc−2). We find a weak but not significant relationship of the total SFRs of star-forming galaxies with environment. Due to the size of our sample and the scatter observed we do not draw a definitive conclusion about a possible SFR dependence on environment. Examining the spatial distribution of the Hα emission, we find no evidence for a change in shape or amplitude of the radial profile of star-forming galaxies with environment. If these observations are borne out in larger samples, this would infer that any environment-driven star formation suppression must either act very rapidly (the ‘infall-and-quench’ model) or that galaxies must evolve in a density-dependent manner (an ‘in situ evolution’ model).

Subjects: public abstract

description: Online calibration embeds pretesting into operational computerized adaptive test(CAT) to collect calibration samples for pretest items. Different sampling strategy can be applied in online calibration, such as random sampling design and adaptive sampling design. In this dissertation, the simulation study was conducted to evaluate different designs of online calibration sampling method with regards to pretesting performance of pretest items.
description: In the study, the initialization strategy as well as the accuracy of initialization in adaptive sampling design were manipulated. In total, five online calibration sampling designs were investigated, including random sampling design, two adaptive sampling with provisional estimates designs, and two adaptive sampling with two-stage designs. The interaction between online calibration sampling design and total sample size was also considered into investigation. Eight different calibration sample sizes, representing small, medium, and large samples, were applied to each sampling design.
description: Findings showed that random sampling design produced high pretesting completion rate and relatively good absolute error (AB), standard error (SE), root mean square error (RMSE), and average coverage of 95% confidence interval (CI) for item parameter estimates. For adaptive sampling design, overall, the initialization strategy of provisional estimates outperformed two-stage design. Compared to random sampling design, adaptive sampling design tended to yield smaller RMSE when calibration sample sizes were relatively small and when pretest items had very low or very high difficulty. The results of the study help with decisions of practitioners on online calibration design and implementation.

description: La propagation dans les canaux de radiocommunications mobiles représente un défi considérable pour les concepteurs de systèmes de télécommunications. Les variations temporelles du canal engendrent des fluctuations de puissance du signal reçu qui peuvent s'étendre sur plusieurs dizaines de dB. Dans les cas extrêmes, le signal peut être atténué au point où sa puissance est en deçà du seuil de sensibilité du récepteur. Pour pallier à ce problème, on peut recourir à des techniques de diversité. Celles-ci visent à transmettre la même information sur plusieurs voies pour diminuer la probabilité de perte du signal au récepteur. Parmi ces techniques, deux, assez récentes, peuvent être considérées comme étant intrinsèques car elles exploitent, en quelque sorte, une forme du redondance contenue dans le signal. Ce sont la diversité Doppler et la diversité de l'espace signal. Elles font l'objet du présent travail. Les concepts de base sont expliqués, et on présente les résultats de simulations dans des canaux à évanouissements de Rayleigh et de Rice.
Examining the mechanisms of silver ion intoxication and detoxification in Staphylococcus aureus
Creators: name: Brochon, Helene Kelly
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2024

description: The antimicrobial properties of silver (Ag) have been known and applied to fight infections for thousands of years. Silver shows promise as an antimicrobial because it can impact several cellular processes simultaneously. However, the mechanism by which the silver inactivates the cellular processes and how the cell combats this toxic effect is largely unknown. As the antibiotic resistance crisis continues to accelerate, human bacterial pathogens such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are becoming increasingly prevalent with rising mortality rates highlighting the need for additional antimicrobials. To effectively administer an antimicrobial, it is important to understand its mechanism of action. This study investigates how the cytosolic accumulation of silver ions alters the physiology of S. aureus. Specifically, we examine the pathogen’s response to Ag, examine how it detoxifies Ag, and demonstrate that Ag toxifies cells by altering carbon flux through the pentose phosphate pathway. Additionally, mutations identified from a suppressor screening show that inhibited transcriptional and translational functions promote survival in the presence of silver ions.

description: Zusammenfassend weisen die Lebertransplantation und die Leberteilresektion verschiedene Vor- und Nachteile auf, die einen differenzierten Einsatz beider Verfahren für die kurative Therapie des HCC begründen. Ein hohes Alter ist per se keine Kontraindikation für eine Lebertransplantation. In der Tat ist die Lebensqualität älterer Organempfänger nach Lebertransplantation vergleichbar mit der junger Organempfänger. Für die immunsuppressive Therapie nach Lebertransplantation ist es entscheidend, das Alter des Organspenders und des Organempfängers zur berücksichtigen, da die Immunseneszenz zu einer veränderten allogenen Immunantwort führt. Die laparoskopische Leberteilresektion kann als konkurrierendes Verfahren zur Lebertransplantation für die Therapie des HCC eingesetzt werden. Der Vorteil der Leberteilresektion besteht in der hohen Verfügbarkeit in den jeweiligen spezialisierten Zentren, da in Zeiten des ubiquitären Organmangels kein passender Spender gefunden werden muss. Auffallend ist, dass die onkologischen Ergebnisse nach Leberteilresektion in den letzten Jahren deutlich verbessert worden sind und die revolutionierenden laparokopischen Techniken die chirurgischen Standards der Leberteilresektion neu definieren.

description: N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and its substitute N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone (NEP) are aprotic solvents used in many technical applications, but also in carpets, and consumer products such as cleaning agents, and cosmetics. NMP and NEP are classified as reproductive toxicants. As a substance of very high concern (SVHC), NMP is included in the European REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation of Chemicals) candidate list for authorisation. NMP and NEP metabolites were measured in more than 2100 urine samples of 3- to 17-year-old children and adolescents, participating in the population-representative German Environmental Survey for Children and Adolescents 2014-2017 (GerES V). The two NMP metabolites 5-hydroxy-N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (5-HNMP) and 2-hydroxy-N-methylsuccinimide (2-HMSI) could be detected and quantified in all urine samples, and the two NEP metabolites 5-hydroxy-N-ethylpyrrolidone (5-HNEP) and 2-hydroxy-N-ethylsuccinimide (2-HESI) in 32% and 87% of the urine samples. Geometric mean concentrations were 103.1 (my)g/L (88.21 (my)g/gcreatinine) for the sum of NMP metabolites and 11.86 Ìg/L (10.15 (my)g/gcreatinine) for the sum of NEP metabolites, thus remaining below the current health-based human biomonitoring values. For NMP, highest exposure was found in young children, but exposure pathways could not be revealed. Exposure to NEP was highest in adolescents and participants with low socio-economic status or migration background. Associations to usage of personal care products suggested the choice of products to have a distinct impact on NEP exposure. The presented data can be used by the German Human Biomonitoring Commission to derive new reference values (RV95) for NMP and NEP for children and adolescents in Germany. This will facilitate to recognise changing exposure levels in this population group in Germany. © 2020 The Author(s).

description: Background: Dysphagia following prolonged intubation after cardiovascular (CV) surgery is common occurring in 67% of patients; however, this population’s swallowing physiology has never been prospectively evaluated using standardized methods. Hence, prior to conducting a larger study, our primary objective was to determine the feasibility of assessing swallowing physiology using instrumentation and validated interpretation methods in cardiovascular surgical patients following prolonged intubation. Method: From July to October 2011, we approached adults undergoing CV surgery at our institution who were intubated > 48 h. Those with a tracheostomy were excluded. Videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFS) and nasendoscopy were completed within 48 h after extubation. Feasibility measurements included recruitment rate, patient participation, task completion durations, and the inter-rater reliability of VFS measures using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). VFSs were interpreted using perceptual rating tools (Modified Barium Swallow Measurement Tool for Swallow Impairment™© and Penetration Aspiration Scale) and objective displacement measurements (hyoid displacement and pharyngeal constriction ratio). Results: Of the 39 patients intubated > 48 h, 16 met inclusion criteria with three enrolled and completing the VFS. All refused nasendoscopy. Across all VFSs, rating completion time ranged from 14.6 to 51.7 min per patient with ICCs for VFS scales ranging from 0.25 (95% CI − 0.10 to 0.59) to 0.99 (95% CI 0.98 to 0.99). Conclusions: This study design was not feasible as recruitment was slow, few patients participated, and no patient agreed to all procedures. We discuss necessary methodological changes and lessons learned that would generalize to future research.

description: Helicopter flight in degraded visual environments (DVEs) is one of the leading human factors causes of accidents in flight (FAA, 2022). Visual cues are partially or fully lost in DVEs due to natural conditions, leading to a high pilot workload. When pilots fly in DVEs, the chance of human error increases and the pilot's perception of spatial orientation is reduced (Hoh, 1990). Traditional attempts to improve safety in DVEs involve adding symbology in a helmet-mounted display's (HMD’s) central field of view (FOV) (Münsterer, 2016). However, the peripheral FOV is responsible for 80% of a human's perception of orientation in space (Stott, 2013). To evaluate the effect of peripheral vision, the Operator Performance Laboratory (OPL) used a wide FOV (WFOV) HMD in helicopter flight and measured standardized cognitive workload (SCOWL), flight technical errors and subjective ratings of pilots with two HMD configurations. OPL, in conjunction with the United States Test Pilot School (TPS), evaluated two maneuvers: hover taxi and LLT.
description: When pilots flew the hover taxi maneuver with the WFOV HMD, improvements were seen in height above ground error (17% reduction in error, p<0.001), ground speed error (15% reduction in error, p<0.001), and SCOWL (20% reduction, p<0.001). The WFOV condition most closely resembled the Good Visual Environment (GVE) condition ("best-case"). This may indicate a possible better mental FOV when the pilots used the WFOV HMD. Results from the LLT indicated pilots had lower SCOWL and improved situation awareness with the WFOV HMD, alongside a 52 ft reduction in cross track error.
