Stuttering

description: Stuttering is a complex behavioral disorder. Previously, vague and unreliable terminology for classifying  stuttering behaviors has limited progress in delineating this intricate disorder. However, with the introduction of the Lidcombe Behavioral Data Language (LBDL) taxonomy, objective terminology has greatly improved reliability and the opportunity to examine stuttering behaviors across large populations, replicate previous research, and compare individuals across geographical regions. The purpose of the current study was to examine the distribution and characteristics of stuttering moments across a large sample of adult stuttering speakers to explore the possibility of subgroups or subtypes of stuttering. The notion of subtypes in stuttering has been discussed across a wide range of stuttering literature, and would have significant impact on the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and ultimately, prevention of stuttering. Archived speech samples from 95 individuals were used in the current study. A reading passage and conversational monologue were collected from each participant. Each speaking sample was analyzed and each stuttered moment was assigned one of the five core stuttering categories from the LBDL taxonomy. Results of the study indicated significant differences existed with respect to the relative distribution of stuttering among the subcategories of the LBDL across speaking tasks.

description: Background: Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools have reshaped education by opening new horizons for more efficient educational practices. With the advent of these in-novations, it has become essential to engage students by revealing their perceptions, especially as they are key stakeholders who play a pivotal role in the success of integration, development, and policy implementation processes. Purpose: This study aims to provide an analysis of stu-dents’ perceptions of the role of GenAI tools through five axes: 1) level of knowledge and awareness; 2) level of acceptance and readiness; 3) the role of GenAI in education; 4 (level of awareness of potential concerns and challenges; and 5) The impact of GenAI tools on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in education. Methods: A quantitative survey of 1390 stu-dents from 15 Saudi universities. Results: Students had positive perceptions of the GenAI in education. A relationship exists between students' perceptions of GenAI and their scientific specializations, as students in computer sciences showed greater awareness regarding concerns and challenges, whereas students in agricultural sciences showed greater awareness of the impact of GenAI tools on Sustainable Development Goals. The results also indicated a worrying trend in which participants did not pay enough attention to the importance of following ethical standards when using GenAI tools. Conclusions: The study offers valuable insights on GenAI adoption in higher education, there is an urgent need to consider developing appropriate use policies, spreading awareness, and creating systems capable of detecting unethical cases. Value: As studies on this field remain comparatively scarce, the study results contribute to further discussion on developing successful integration methods and adopting appropriate usage policies.

Effect of body temperature on the acute decrease of tryptophan hydroxylase activity induced by 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine

Subjects: Tryptophan

description: Brain tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) activity decreases within 15 minutes after a single administration of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA). The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of body temperature on the acute decrease of TPH activity and to elucidate the mechanism of the effect. Two hours after a single dose of MDMA (20 mg/kg, s.c), rats exhibited hyperthermia (38.7 °C) or hypothermia (35.8° C) when maintained at 25° C or 6° C, respectively. The rectal temperature of control animals maintained at 6° C was not altered. TPH activity measured in the hippocampus, striatum and frontal cortex of hyperthermic rats treated with MDMA was decreased to 61%, 65%, and 71% of control levels, respectively, 2 hours after drug treatment. However, in hypothermic rats, MDMA had no effect on TPH activity in the hippocampus, striatum or frontal cortex. This protection was not due to the increase of TPH activity caused by cold stress-induced phosphorylation. Non-drug-induced hyperthermia or hypothermia did not affect TPH activity. When tissue homogenates containing TPH were incubated in vitro with MDMA at 39.0° C, the drug had no effect on the enzyme activity. Since hypothermia may prevent the MDMA-induced decrease in TPH activity by reducing the formation of free radicals, the effect of a free radical scavenging agent, N-tert-butyl-alpha-phenylnitrone (BPN), was examined. BPN (200 mg/kg, i.p.) alone caused hypothermia but had no direct effect on TPH activity. Preadministration of BPN blocked the MDMA-induced hyperthermia and attenuated the drug-induced decrease in TPH activity in hippocampus, striatum and frontal cortex. The effect of MDMA on in vitro dopamine (DA) release at 35.5° C, 37.4° C or 39.0° C was examined. Incubation temperature had no effect on MDMA-induced DA release. These results suggest that body temperature affects the MDMA-induced rapid decrease in TPH activity in intact animals and this effect is not due to phosphorylation or altered in vitro DA release.  Free radicals might be involved in the rapid neurochemical changes induced by MDMA.

description: Haptic interactions with smartphones are generally restricted to vibrotactile feedback that offers limited distinction between delivered tactile cues. The lateral movement of a small, high-friction contactor at the fingerpad can be used to induce skin stretch tangent to the skin's surface. This method has been demonstrated to reliably communicate four cardinal directions with 1 mm translations of the device's contactor, when finger motion is properly restrained. While earlier research has used a thimble to restrain the finger, this interface has been made portable by incorporating a simple conical hole as a finger restraint. An initial portable device design used RC hobby servos and the conical hole finger restraint, but the shape and size of this portable device wasn't compatible with smartphone form factors. This design also had significant compliance and backlash that must be compensated for with additional control schemes. In contrast, this thesis presents the design, fabrication, and testing of a low-profile skin-stretch display (LPSSD) with a novel actuation design for delivering complex tactile cues with minimal backlash or hysteresis of the skin contactor or "tactor." This flatter mechanism features embedded sensors for fingertip cursor control and selection. This device's nonlinear tactor motions are compensated for using table look-up and high-frequency open-loop control to create direction cues with 1.8 mm radial tactor displacements in 16 directions (distributed evenly every 22.5°) before returning to center. Two LPSSDs are incorporated into a smartphone peripheral and used in single-handed and bimanual tests to identify 16 directions. Users also participated in "relative" identification tests where they were first provided a reference direction cue in the forward/north direction followed by the cue direction that they were to identify. Tests were performed with the user's thumbs oriented in the forward direction and with thumbs angled inward slightly, similar to the angledthumb orientation console game controllers. Users are found to have increased performance with an angled-thumb orientation. They performed similarly when stimuli were delivered to their right or left thumbs, and had significantly better performance judging direction cues with both thumbs simultaneously. Participants also performed slightly better in identifying the relative direction cues than the absolute.
A cross-sectional examination of the predictors of commitment in skateboarders

Skateboard

description: Approximately 7.7 million athletes participate in the sport of skateboarding. Skateboarding is one of a collection of sports that are often termed lifestyle, action, or alternative sports. By definition, lifestyle sports are sports in which athletes form exclusive social identities with the culture of the activity. The culture of the lifestyle sport of skateboarding is heavily influenced by music and art. Lifestyle sport athletes also prefer a sport structure that is participant-controlled as opposed to a structure organized and controlled by parents, coaches, and other authority figures. The Sport Commitment Model describes commitment as being theoretically predicted by enjoyment, personal investments, involvement opportunities, involvement alternatives, social constraints, and social support. The purpose of this study was to examine the theoretical determinants of commitment in a skateboard population. Additionally, atheoretical determinants (art, music, and sport structure) were examined as possible predictors of commitment unique to lifestyle sports. Skateboarders (n=68) were recruited at skate parks, a skateboard showcase, and by flyers posted at the university and local skate shops. Participants completed a modified and adapted Athletes' Opinion Survey designed to measure commitment and the determinants of commitment. Data were analyzed using hierarchical regressions. Enjoyment (β= .51) was the strongest predictor of commitment in the regression model. Secondly, social support (β=.23), personal investment (β=.31), and involvement opportunities (β=.29) significantly predicted commitment. Involvement alternatives emerged as a negative predictor of commitment (β= -.16). The constructs of art, music, and sport structure failed to significantly predict commitment. The findings from the regression analysis support prior research indicating enjoyment as the most influential predictor of commitment. The strength and direction of the additional determinants of commitment also support the theoretical model. These findings suggest that in order to foster commitment among skateboarders optimizing enjoyment, personal investments, social support, and involvement opportunities are key.

description: Smoothness-increasing accuracy-conserving (SIAC) filters were introduced as a class of postprocessing techniques to ameliorate the quality of numerical solutions of discontinuous Galerkin (DG) simulations. SIAC filtering works to eliminate the oscillations in the error by introducing smoothness back to the DG field and raises the accuracy in the L2-n o rm up to its natural superconvergent accuracy in the negative-order norm. The increased smoothness in the filtered DG solutions can then be exploited by simulation postprocessing tools such as streamline integrators where the absence of continuity in the data can lead to erroneous visualizations. However, lack of extension of this filtering technique, both theoretically and computationally, to nontrivial mesh structures along with the expensive core operators have been a hindrance towards the application of the SIAC filters to more realistic simulations. In this dissertation, we focus on the numerical solutions of linear hyperbolic equations solved with the discontinuous Galerkin scheme and provide a thorough analysis of SIAC filtering applied to such solution data. In particular, we investigate how the use of different quadrature techniques could mitigate the extensive processing required when filtering over the whole computational field. Moreover, we provide detailed and efficient algorithms that a numerical practitioner requires to know in order to implement this filtering technique effectively. In our first attempt to expand the application scope of this filtering technique, we demonstrate both mathematically and through numerical examples that it is indeed possible to observe SIAC filtering characteristics when applied to numerical solutions obtained over structured triangular meshes. We further provide a thorough investigation of the interplay between mesh geometry and filtering. Building upon these promising results, we present how SIAC filtering could be applied to gain higher accuracy and smoothness when dealing with totally unstructured triangular meshes. Lastly, we provide the extension of our filtering scheme to structured tetrahedral meshes. Guidelines and future work regarding the application of the SIAC filter in the visualization domain are also presented. We further note that throughout this document, the terms postprocessing and filtering will be used interchangeably.

Polymerase activity

description: Little is known about the kinetic limitations of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Advancements in chemistry and instrumentation have increased its speed and specificity. Further improvements will be facilitated by a more complete understanding of the rates of the individual reactions that comprise PCR. A continuous  fluorescent assay is developed to study DNA polymerase extension. Nucleotide incorporation is monitored with noncovalent DNA dyes using a defined hairpin template. The extension rate is measured in nucleotides incorporated per second per molecule of polymerase and has greater relevance to PCR than traditional activity methods. This assay was developed and validated on a stopped-ow instrument and subsequently adapted for real-time PCR instruments to extend its utility to any laboratory setting. The influences of a variety of buer components were determined and optimal conditions for fast polymerase extension are recommended. The incorporation rates of each nucleotide were determined and extension was found to depend on template sequence. When DMSO was included in the reaction to reduce inhibition from secondary structure, extension rates of random sequences were closely approximated by their base composition. Extension rates as a function of temperature were determined and were applied to a kinetic model. This model accounts for extension during temperature transitions and more accurately portrays fast PCR with rapid thermal cycling. A complete model of PCR based on differential equations derived from mass action equations is provided. This can be used to incorporate experimentally derived parameters obtained for the other reactions of PCR. Knowledge of the temperature and chemistry dependence of reaction rates will enable improved thermal cycling and solution conditions for more rapid and effcient PCR.

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the postnatal growth pattern of very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants who were fed parenterally. A retrospective design was implemented. Chart review was the data collection method. A total of 166 VLBW infants without major genetic/chromosomal anomalies, marked fetal malnutrition, and who were not either small or large for gestational age or infants of diabetic mothers were included in this study. Five weight groups were categorized based on birth weight differences. Data were collected from the 8th day of life to a maximum of the 56th day of life or when the enteral intake met 66.7% of total caloric intake. The growth curves of the five groups were similar overall. This new parenterally-fed growth curve found a similar growth velocity to the other two enteral-fed growth curves, except for our infants who weighed less than 750 g.

Characterization of the Genetic and Epigenetic Status of Fertile and Fertile Men
Creators: name: Hammond, Saher Sue
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2014

description: The incidence of infertility is rising and estimated to affect one in six couples, yet a significant number of couples have an undefined cause for their infertility. The search for causes of male infertility has been the focus of many recent investigations, however, many questions remain. We hypothesized that genetic and epigenetic states of the mature sperm are important for establishing proper germ cell identity, function, and developmental capacity. We reason that perturbations to the genome or epigenome may underlie a subset of idiopathic cases of infertility. This dissertation addresses some potential genetic causes of male infertility; focusing on the genetic causes of an abnomal protamine ratio. Our gene re-sequencing studies examined whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the untranslated regions of the protamine genes (Chapter 3) or in a transcriptional regulator of the protamine genes known as YBX2 (Appendix A) may account for the altered P1/P2 ratio in infertile men. We concluded that gene mutations in these two regulatory elements were a rare cause of male infertility. As an alternative we turned to examine whether epigenetic changes in the germline may underlie some cases of male infertility. Initially we focused on characterizing the sperm chromatin of fertile men. A comprehensive analysis of the sperm epigenome revealed novel biological features that revised our understanding of the potential role of sperm chromatin in the creation of a totipotent gamete (Chapter 5). We then assessed whether changes in the chromatin landscape associate with infertility or poor reproductive outcome. Interesting, we show significant changes in DNA methylation at a number of imprinted loci (Chapter 6 and 7) and subtle changes in the overall chromatin landscape (H3K4me and H3K27me) genome-wide that may have a detrimental effect on fecundity (Chapter 7). Taken together, these studies reinforce the dogma that infertility is a complex disease and that changes in the genetic and the epigenetic states of the mature sperm may account for some, but not all, cases of idiopathic infertility. Furthermore, these data suggest that germ cell chromatin may have a significant role in germ cell function and possibly contribute to early embryonic processes and infertility.

Regulation of Thioredoxin-Interacting Protein in Response to Changes in Metabolic and Energetic State

description: Thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) plays an important role in regulating glucose metabolism. The expression of TXNIP is directly regulated by the MondoA:Mlx transcription factor complexes in response to changes in metabolic and energetic state. MondoA:Mlx complexes activate TXNIP expression by sensing glucose-6-phosphate (G6P), the first intermediate of glycolysis. Here, we investigate how bioenergetic changes regulate MondoA:Mlx activity and TXNIP expression. We show that TXNIP expression is also stimulated by 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribofuranoside (AICAR) and adenosine. This effect of AICAR and adenosine is mediated by MondoA:Mlx transcriptional activity, but is independent of adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Consistent with the role of MondoA in glucose-dependent transcription, AICAR and adenosine effect on TXNIP expression depends on glucose availability. To activate TXNIP expression, AICAR and adenosine must enter into cells and be converted to adenine nucleotides. These findings suggest that MondoA:Mlx complexes sense the levels of adenine nucleotides as well as G6P. We also show that oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) inhibitors suppress adenosine-induction of TXNIP. This repressive effect of OXPHOS inhibitors is most likely mediated by increased glycolytic rate and decreased mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels, which might deplete G6P levels. The suppression of TXNIP by OXPHOS inhibitors was partially restored by combination of 2-deoxyglucose (2DG) and adenosine but not by iv 2DG alone, suggesting the involvement of mitochondrial ATP on TXNIP expression. In addition to transcriptional regulation, we show that TXNIP protein levels were reduced by AMPK activation with AICAR. High dose of AICAR treatment accelerates TXNIP protein degradation in an AMPK-dependent manner. With the fact that TXNIP negatively regulate glucose uptake, our findings imply that cells control TXNIP-dependent feedback loop of glucose flux by regulating TXNIP levels through MondoA and AMPK in response to metabolic and energetic changes. Thus, we propose that TXNIP is a critical mediator of integrating information about metabolic and energetic status to maintain energy homeostasis.

description: Using an indirect immunofluorescence assay with porcine ova, 11 of 69 (15.9%) women with infertility and 13 of  46 (28.3%) women with recurrent spontaneous abortion of undetermined etiology had anti-zona pellucida antibody titers of 1.4 or greater.  In contrast, none of 56 control individuals has positive anti-zona pellucida titers.  Forty-two infertility patients undergoing in vitro fertilization were fertilized for levels of circulating anti-zona pellucida antibodies.  Six of 42 patients (14.3%) had circulating antibody titers of 1:4 or greater.  In 16 of these patients, paired serum and follicular fluid antibody titers were compared.  Of these, five had positive serum titers (1:4 or greater).  Of these five, four were found to also have antibody in the follicular fluid at a titer of 1:2 or greater.  Of the remaining 11 samples that were negative for serum antibody, 5 of the corresponding follicular fluids were also negative and 6 were positive at undiluted only.  These results demonstrate that antibodies against the zona pellucia can pass from the serum into the follicular fluid, and suggest that there is a relationship between the presence of serum and intrafollicular autoantibodies against the zona pellucia. The success of in vitro fertilization was correlated to the presence of anti-zona pellucida antibodies.  Serum titers of 1:4 or greater, which have been suggested to be associated with infertility, did not prevent successful fertilization in vitro.  However, the patient with an anti-zona pellucida titer of 1:16 was also the only patient whose ovum was unfertilized by husband's or unrelated donor sperm.  In conclusion, antibodies to zona pellucia are found in the serum of some infertile women and with histories of recurrent abortion.  Also, antibodies against the zona pellucia are present in the follicular fluid at concentrations similar to those found in the serum.  Finally, specific antibody titers may have an effect on the outcome of in vitro fertilization.
