description: Η εγκεφαλική παράλυση είναι η πιο κοινή παιδιατρική σωματική αναπηρία. Για την αποκατάσταση των ατόμων που έχουν διαγνωσθεί με αυτή, έχουν αναπτυχθεί, με την πάροδο του χρόνου, ποικίλες μέθοδοι. Μία από αυτές είναι η Εξαναγκαστικά Προκαλούμενη Κινητική Θεραπεία ή αλλιώς CIMT. Στο πρώτο κεφάλαιο παρατίθενται πληροφορίες σχετικά με την Εγκεφαλική Παράλυση. Συγκεκριμένα γίνεται αναφορά στον ορισμός της, στα αίτια που μπορούν να οδηγήσουν σε αυτή, στο παθοφυσιολογικό υπόβαθρό της, στα επιμέρους είδη που ταξινομείται αλλά και στις μέχρι τώρα εφαρμοζόμενες θεραπείες. Στην συνέχεια στο δεύτερο κεφάλαιο ορίζεται η θεραπεία CIMT ενώ ταυτόχρονα διατυπώνεται ο στόχος της αλλά και οι αρχές στις οποίες βασίζεται. Ακόμα, γίνεται αναδρομή στις πρώτες εργαστηριακές μελέτες σε πειραματόζωα, που έθεσαν τις βάσεις της θεραπείας CIMT έως τις πρώτες εφαρμογές αυτής στον παιδιατρικό πληθυσμό. Στην τελευταία ενότητα παρουσιάζονται τα είδη του CIMT που εντοπίστηκαν αρθρογραφικά. Στον τρίτο κεφάλαιο γίνεται εκτενής αναφορά στην παιδιατρική εφαρμογή του CIMT. Αρχικά, δίνεται έμφαση στα χαρακτηριστικά που την διαφοροποιούν από την εφαρμογή της στους ενήλικες. Επιπλέον, απαριθμούνται και αναλύονται τα κριτήρια ένταξης των παιδιών στην θεραπεία καθώς και οι παράμετροι που διαμορφώνουν το πρωτόκολλο. Στις επόμενες δύο ενότητες προσδιορίζονται οι θεραπείες με τις οποίες βρέθηκε να έχει συνδυαστεί το P – CIMT αλλά και ο ρόλος της οικογενείας κατά την διεξαγωγή της παρέμβασης. Στο τέταρτο κεφάλαιο παρουσιάζονται τα εργαλεία αξιολόγησης, τα οποία έκαναν χρήση οι μελέτες που συμπεριλήφθηκαν στην παρούσα ανασκόπηση, αλλά και τα χρονικά σημεία στα οποία εφαρμόστηκαν. Έπειτα, γίνεται λόγος για την αποτελεσματικότητα της θεραπείας CIMT στην αποκατάσταση του ημιπληγικού άνω άκρου, μέσω της συγκέντρωσης των μετρήσεων όλων των ερευνών. Παρουσιάζονται οι αλλαγές που επιφέρει στο κεντρικό νευρικό σύστημα αλλά και τα κέρδη στους τομείς που καθορίζουν την λειτουργικότητα του μέλους.

description: Intensity interferometry exploits a quantum optical effect in order to measure objects with extremely small angular scales. The first experiment to use this technique was the Narrabri intensity interferometer, which was successfully used in the 1970s to measure 32 stellar diameters at optical wavelengths; some as small as 0.4 milli-arcseconds. The advantage of this technique, in comparison with Michelson interferometers, is that it requires only relatively crude, but large, light collectors equipped with fast (nanosecond) photon detectors. Ground-based gamma-ray telescope arrays have similar specifications, and a number of these observatories are now operating worldwide, with more extensive installations planned for the future. These future instruments (CTA, AGIS, completion 2015) with 30-90 telescopes will provide 400-4000 different baselines that range in length between 50m and a kilometre. Intensity interferometry with such arrays of telescopes attains $50 μ$-arcsecond resolution for a limiting visual magnitude ~8.5. Phase information can be extracted from the interferometric measurement with phase closure, allowing image reconstruction. This technique opens the possibility of a wide range of studies amongst others, probing the stellar surface activity and the dynamic AU scale circumstellar environment of stars in various crucial evolutionary stages. Here we focuse on the astrophysical potential of an intensity interferometer utilising planned new gamma-ray instrumentation.

description: Supervised field trials were conducted to study dissipation of combination product of beta-cyfluthrin and imidacloprid (Solomon) in various samples of lemon and onion. The pesticides were extracted and analysed using QuEChERS (with some modifications) based methods after validation of the method. Linearity, accuracy and precision data showed that the results were in the acceptable range as per SANTE 2019. The results of dissipation revealed that the initial accumulation of beta-cyfluthrin was 0.6 and 1.1 mg kg−1 in lemon and 0.24 and 0.97 mg kg−1 in onion samples at standard and double dose respectively. The residues of imidacloprid were 2.61 and 4 mg kg−1 in lemon and 0.36 and 0.53 in onion at two doses. The residues of beta-cyfluthrin followed first order dissipation in both the crops at standard dose and showed biphasic dissipation in double dose in both lemon and onion samples. Imidacloprid followed first-order dissipation in lemon in both the doses. Half-life of beta-cyfluthrin ranged from 3.6 to 23.2 days in lemon samples and that of imidacloprid was 15.1 and 21.5 days in two different doses. In onion the half-life ranged from 2.1 to 4.0 for beta-cyfluthrin and 2.8 to 5.2 days for imidacloprid in different doses. Theoretical maximum residue concentration (TMRC) was always less than maximum permissible intake (MPI) in all the samples suggesting that the use of combination product is safe.
Cosmic Deuterium Or A Hydrogen Interloper ?

description: Two groups have independently reported the possible detection of extragalactic deuterium in the absorption spectrum of the same high redshift, low metalicity QSO. Although the high value for the inferred deuterium abundance poses no problems for cosmology (i.e., big bang nucleosynthesis), it is in apparent conflict with solar system observations of deuterium and helium-3. This latter inconsistency is explained and made quantitative and it is shown that, unless the inferred D/H ratio is too high by a factor of three, these data challange our understanding of the stellar and galactic evolution of helium-3. This conflict is resolved if the observed absorption feature is, in fact, due to a hydrogen interloper rather than to high z, low Z deuterium.

description: Human hair is a filament rich in protein that grows from the follicles present in the scalp. It is considered to be a notable biomaterial consisting of β-keratin, which shows excellent catalytic activity in organic transformation. Keratin is a family of structural fibrous proteins rich in cysteine, which are abundantly present in human hair. Based on the template synthesis strategy, human-hair Keratin was used as a platform template to synthesise metal oxide nanoparticles. Here the aim was to synthesis hair protein supported CuO nanoparticles (HHP/CuONPs) and study their catalytic applications. Protein is extracted from the hair sample using the Shindai method. The HHP/CuONPs sample has been scrutinised using various characterisation techniques such as UV, FT-IR, SEM, TEM, EDX, Raman, XPS, and zeta potential. The synthesised HHP/CuONPs show photo-catalytic efficiency against coloured organic pollutants, 2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP), and amaranth dye. The degradation level has been found to be 96% in DNP and 94% in amaranth dye. Optimisation and reusability of hair protein-mediated copper oxide have been tested under various conditions.

description: Nowadays, enjoying national dishes is considered an essential component of any kind of tourism, as it gives experiences specific to the nation. In tourism, dishes are important to any target audience. There are many nationalities in the world, and they differ from one another in their specific culture and national cuisine. Since ancient times, rye bread has been the main food for Latvians. Today too, rye bread is one of the symbols of Latvian identity and a treat for everyone wishing to get introduced to Latvian culture. Cultural heritage and cultural values are, to some extent, stagnant if not revived and cultivated. Cultural and historical heritage could be learnt through upbringing and education as well as its incorporation in a tourism product. Rye bread, the traditions of baking it, organic and natural foods and the setting – a rural farmstead, a festivity and a bakery where to taste the foods and participate in preparing the foods – could be referred to as the most significant resources with potential for development. Gastronomic tourism is promoted in rural areas, and small enterprises and local governments, considering the economic development of their administrative territories, are particularly interested in the growth of it. The research employed content analysis to analyse the incorporation of bread-baking traditions in rural tourism products in Latvia. An analysis of information available on the websites of municipalities and tourism associations give insight into the awareness and the ways of popularisation of gastronomic tourism. The research aim is to examine the ways how bread-baking traditions are incorporated in rural tourism products in Latvia. Bread baking traditions-related tourism services are created by entrepreneurs, while local governments and the national government and the non-governmental sector are involved in popularising the offers in the Internet environment. Activities of the private and public sectors aimed at popularising gastronomic tourism involve cooperation, as many websites are interlinked.

The Relationship Between Performance On Cognitive Screening Tests And Everyday Functioning In Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment

description: Introduction: Occupational therapists (OTs) play an important role in evaluating the cognitive and functional abilities of older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in the acute hospital setting. Cognitive screening tools such as the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and the Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination (ACE-III) are regularly administered by acute hospital OTs to assist in predicting the functional capacities of individuals with MCI. However findings from clinical practice show that performance on cognitive screening tools is not always consistent with functional task performance. Aims and Objectives: The aim of the research was to explore the relationship between cognitive test performance and instrumental activity of daily living (IADL) function in older adults with MCI in the acute hospital setting. The objectives of the study were to determine which cognitive screening tool (MoCA or ACE-III) was most strongly related to IADL function, to determine the relationship between individual cognitive subdomains of the MoCA/ACE-III and IADL function and to explore the influence of various cognitive and demographic variables on IADL function. Methods: Forty older adults with MCI were recruited from an acute hospital setting for this cross-sectional study. All participants completed cognitive screening tests (MoCA and ACE-III) and an objective measure of everyday functioning (Executive Function Performance Test, EFPT). Correlation and regression analyses were conducted to explore the relationship between cognitive test performance and functional capacity. Results: The mean (±SD) age of the participants was 79.9 (±8.1) years with 52.5% (n=21) being female. A low correlation was found between EFPT total scores and MoCA total scores (r= -0.22, p Conclusion: Results demonstrated low-moderate relationships between performance on the MoCA/ ACE-III cognitive screening tests and IADL function as measured by the EFPT. It is evident that performance on cognitive screening tests alone does not provide the clinician with a definitive evaluation of the functional abilities of older adults with MCI in the acute hospital setting. Implications of Findings This research provides the clinician with a better understanding of the relationship between performance on cognitive screening tests and functional abilities in older adults with MCI in the acute hospital setting. It highlights the importance of examining cognitive subdomains of screening tests rather than just the overall score. It also supports the value of functional assessment for individuals with MCI. This study demonstrated that the ACE-III was more strongly related to IADL function than the MoCA and this indicates that the ACE-III should be used when assessing individuals with MCI.

description: Topological gravity is the reduction of Einstein's theory to spacetimes with vanishing curvature, but with global degrees of freedom related to the topology of the universe. We present an exact Hamiltonian lattice theory for topological gravity, which admits translations of the lattice sites as a gauge symmetry. There are additional symmetries, not present in Einstein's theory, which kill the local degrees of freedom. We show that these symmetries can be fixed by choosing a gauge where the torsion is equal to zero. In this gauge, the theory describes flat space-times. We propose two methods to advance towards the holy grail of lattice gravity: A Hamiltonian lattice theory for curved space-times, with first-class translation constraints.

description: It is well known that antibiotics’ residues in aquatic environments are a great threat to human health and ecology. Thus, it is vital to develop efficient strategies to overcome the mentioned threat and degrade the pointed out residues as much as possible. Herein, a novel Co-doped ZnO nanocomposite was fabricated and deposited on fluorine-doped tin oxide glass sheets (FTO) and eventually applied for the photoelectrocatalytic degradation of four sulphonamides (SAs), namely sulphacetamide (SCT), sulphathiazole (STZ), sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and sulphadiazine (SDZ) under visible light irradiation. In this regard, the effect of initial pH (3–11), applied current (0.5–1.5 mA/cm2), initial concentration of SAs (5–20 mg/L) were thoroughly investigated. The results indicated that under the optimal conditions (pH = 9, [SAs] = 5 mg/L and applied current = 1.5 mA/cm2), the degradation efficiencies obtained under a 90-min of reaction time were as follows: SCT (97.1%), SMX (95.8%), SDZ (93.2%) and STZ (91.8%). In addition, the degradation of the SAs by the applied photoelectrocatalytic process (PECP) followed the first-order kinetic model. Meanwhile, the applied PECP exhibited an excellent performance with regard to real samples. Finally, PECP is reckoned to be associated with ‘green’ technologies as electricity is involved and the used catalyst will not end up in the environment as secondary toxic materials.

description: In this article we show that the ultralocal state of gravity can be associated with the so-called crumpled phase of gravity, observed e.g. in Causal Dynamical Triangulations. By considering anisotropic scaling present in the Hořava-Lifshitz theory, we prove that in the ultralocal scaling limit ($z \rightarrow 0$) the graph representing connectivity structure of space is becoming complete. In consequence, transition from the ultralocal phase ($z=0$) to the standard relativistic scaling ($z=1$) is implemented by the geometrogensis, similar to the one considered in Quantum Graphity approach. However, the relation holds only for the finite number of nodes $N$ and in the continuous limit ($N\rightarrow \infty$) the complete graph reduces to the set of disconnected points due to the weights $w=1/N$ associated with the links. By coupling Ising spin matter to the considered graph we show that the process of geometrogensis can be associated with critical behavior. Based on both analytical and numerical analysis phase diagram of the system is reconstructed showing that (for a ring graph) symmetry broken phase occurs at $z\in [0, 0.5)$. Finally, cosmological consequences of the considered process of geometrogenesis as well as similarities with the so-called synaptic pruning are briefly discussed.

description: Degradation efficiency of 4-bromo-2-chlorophenol (BCP) containing both chlorine and bromine substituents in Co/PMS process was investigated in the light of a wide range of substrate, oxidant, catalyst concentrations and pH value. The effects of chloride ion (Cl−) on degradation kinetics, total organic carbon (TOC) removal and intermediates formation during BCP depletion in Co/PMS system were studied. The kinetics results demonstrated that the dual effect of Cl− on BCP depletion in Co/PMS system due to different mechanisms involved. High concentrations of Cl− (>5 mM) can significantly promote the degradation of BCP, but did inhibit BCP mineralisation to a certain extent which was closely related to Cl− content. High degradation rates but lower mineralisation rates were found in the laboratory experiments, owing to the fact that BCP was mainly transformed to new halogenated intermediates instead of complete mineralisation. Gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) data verified that a series of chlorinated by-products were formed during BCP decomposition process involving of the participation of Cl−. The proposed degradation pathways of BCP and its derivatives in presence of Cl− were discussed on the basis of intermediate products including the undesirable halogenated by-products recognised by GC-MS. These results might offer some new perspectives on the transformation fates of BCP by utilising Co/PMS regent.

description: Natural product drug discovery has traditionally been the corner stone of medicine having provided cures to many of today’s most common diseases. In particular, antibiotics have revolutionised healthcare and extended human lifespan. However, since their introduction into the clinic, resistance to these drugs has arisen. With the number of new antibiotics being discovered in recent years declining, and fewer drugs making it past clinical trials, we have reached the point where antibiotic resistant infections have become common place and a serious threat to health and society. There is now an urgent requirement for the discovery of new antibiotics and in particular those with unexploited mode of action. This thesis details the different areas of natural product drug development from discovery through to analogue generation. In Chapter one, the history of natural products as therapeutics is explored with a particular focus on antibiotics and how resistance arises against these agents. It outlines why the discovery of new antibiotics is so important and new methods used to facilitate this search. Chapter two follows with the development of a screening platform for antibiotic induction, using the model Streptomyces; Streptomyces coleiolor M145. A variety of culture additives are explored for their ability to induce secondary metabolism production. Chapter three then details the sampling and identification of microbes from a pseudo-marine environment and their screening for their ability to produce secondary metabolites with antibiotic properties. The second half of this thesis centres on the non-ribosomal peptide echinomycin. Collaborators Aquapharm supplied the marine derived strain AQP-4895, capable of producing echinomycin. Chapter four details the establishment of AQP-4895 culturing conditions and the shift observed in production profile. Next Chapter five looks at producing echinomycin analogues through precursor directed biosynthesis. A range of halogenated quinoxaline carboxylic acids are synthesised and fed to AQP-4895, and the respective echinomycin analogues monitored by LC-MS. Chapter Six then aims to direct biosynthesis of the halogenated analogues, using mutasynthesis. Due to the lack of genetic data available surrounding the strain, an unusual approach was taken, using iPCR to create a template for homologous recombination.

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Introduction Vestibular rehabilitation is used for decreased vestibular function and dizziness. Adaptation exercises are one aspect of vestibular rehabilitation and are recommended in the treatment of these conditions. These exercises are predominantly paper-based which may lead to difficulty in progression of the exercises and monitoring of compliance. Aims and Objectives The aim of the study was to assess the usability of an electronic tablet application; the Vestibular Rehabilitation Application (VRA) in patients with a complaint of dizziness who were undergoing vestibular rehabilitation. The objectives of the study were to assess usability under three main headings of effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction as recommended by the International Standardisation Organisation (ISO) in 1998 Methods A convenience sample (n=12) was recruited. Baseline assessments included age, Dynamic Visual Acuity Test, level of education, Dizziness Handicap Inventory, Visual Analogue Scale for dizziness and the length of time it took the participant to be trained up on the use of the tablet and VRA. The participant used the VRA for one week and then completed the System Usability Scale (SUS) and the Systems Usability Measurement Inventory (SUMI) along with a semi structured interview Results The length of time to train the participant, previous use of apps and age were the biggest predictors of usability. There were no correlations with usability and levels of dizziness. Participants noted decreased effectiveness and efficiency in their use of the app but would use the VRA in future rehabilitation. Conclusions This study suggests that training time, previous use of apps and age are the biggest predictors of usability. Implications of Findings The VRA was deemed as “usable” however there should be some changes to the app before further use in treatment.

description: An experiment for $p(^{14}\rm{C}$,$^{14}\rm{C}^{*}\rightarrow^{10}\rm{Be}+α)\mathit{p}$ inelastic excitation and decay was performed in inverse kinematics at a beam energy of 25.3 MeV/u. A series of $^{14}\rm{C}$ excited states, including a new one at 18.3(1) MeV, were observed which decay to various states of the final nucleus of $^{10}\rm{Be}$. A specially designed telescope-system, installed around the zero degree, played an essential role in detecting the resonant states near the $α$-separation threshold. A state at 14.1(1) MeV is clearly identified, being consistent with the predicted band-head of the molecular rotational band characterized by the $π$-bond linear-chain-configuration. Further clarification of the properties of this exotic state is suggested by using appropriate reaction tools.

description: Expected distance formulations are developed for a rectangle-shaped, unit-load warehouse having dock doors along one warehouse wall. Based on dock-door configurations treated in the literature and/or used in practice, three scenarios are considered: (i) equally spaced dock doors spanning a wall; (ii) equally spaced dock doors with a specified distance between adjacent dock doors, and an equal number of dock doors located on each side of the wall’s centerline; and (iii) equally spaced dock doors with a specified distance between adjacent dock doors and the first dock door located a given distance to the right of the left wall. Defining the shape factor as the warehouse width divided by its depth, the shape factor minimizing expected distance is determined. Single- and dual-command travel results from discrete formulations are compared with results from closed-form expressions using continuous approximations. The optimal shape factor depends on the number and locations of dock doors. When the distance between adjacent dock doors is a function of the warehouse’s width, previous research results are confirmed. However, when distances between adjacent dock doors are specified, our results differ from a commonly held belief the optimal shape factor is always less than or equal to 2.0.

description: A lack of globally applied standards for underwater acoustic measurements (soundscapes) means that different researchers make different choices for frequency ranges and time averaging windows, often referring to the resulting plethora of different quantities with identical names, making it difficult, and sometimes impossible, to compare like with like.
This document, the ADEON Underwater Soundscape and Modeling Metadata Standard, is the first of five standardization products. Its purpose is to specify a minimum metadata standard for measured and predicted OCS soundscapes in the US EEZ. It is intended to be used as a tool to facilitate direct comparisons between soundscapes reported by different projects. Compliance with this standard in no way precludes calculation of metrics not specified by the standard or of the same metrics in different frequency bands or averaging intervals.

description: Radionuclides and heavy metals/metalloids content in soils and shore sediments of Al-Negila area (Matrouh, Egypt) were determined to assess the associated environmental risks. A total of 46 soil and shore sediment samples were collected and analysed for natural and man-made radionuclides (238U series, 232Th series, 40K and 137Cs) and heavy metals/metalloids (Al, B, Ba, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Si, Sr, Zn, and Hg). Within the study area, the soil and shore sediments are mainly calcareous with sandy, sandy clay and silty clay sized textures. The radionuclides and metals/metalloids concentrations in the soil were higher than those in the shore sediments, meanwhile, they are within the safe world average values. The estimated average (±SD) activity concentrations of 226Ra, 228Ra, 40K and 137Cs were 20.3 ± 5.3, 17.8 ± 6.3, 353.1 ± 129.8, and 2.7 ± 2.7 Bq/kg, respectively. The activity concentration of 137Cs is characterised by the greatest variability characterising the fallout deposited radionuclides. The estimated average values of Raeq (72.9 ± 23.7 Bq/kg), air absorbed gamma dose rate (34.9 ± 11.4 nGy/h), annual effective dose (42.8 ± 14.0 µSv/y), and external hazard index (0.2 ± 0.1) are lower than the international averages reported by UNSCEAR 2008. The average concentrations (mg/kg) of heavy metals/metalloids in soil samples decrease in the following order: Mn (129.8) > Sr (95.0) > Si (28.8) > Ba (25.7) > Zn (25.1) > Cr (17.6) > B (10.0) > Ni (3.9) > Cu (3.3) > Co (0.5) > Cd (0.007) > Hg (7.0 µg/kg). According to the classes of pollution load and contamination degree indices, soils and shore sediments of Al-Negila area are generally uncontaminated. However, a few sampling sites were considered moderately contaminated with B, Cd, and Sr. The radionuclides and heavy metal/metalloid contents in the soil and shore sediments of the area should be observed and assessed regularly, especially for 137Cs.

description: Autonomous ridesharing systems (ARS) promise many societal and environmental benefits, including decreased accident rates, reduced energy consumption and pollutant emissions, and diminished land use for parking. To unleash ARS' potential, stakeholders must understand how the degree of passenger participation influences the ridesharing systems' efficiency. To date, however, a careful study that quantifies the impact of user participation on ARS' performance is missing. Here, we present the first simulation analysis to investigate how and to what extent user participation affects the efficiency of ARS. We demonstrate how specific configurations (e.g., fleet size, vehicle capacity, and the maximum waiting time) of a system can be identified to counter the performance loss due to users' uncoordinated behavior on ridesharing participation. Our results indicate that stakeholders of ARS should base decisions regarding system configurations on insights from data-driven simulations and make tradeoffs between system efficiency and price of anarchy for desired outcomes.

Affine Projection Tensor Geometry: Decomposing the Curvature Tensor When the Connection is Arbitrary and the Projection is Tilted

description: This paper constructs the geometrically natural objects which are associated with any projection tensor field on a manifold with any affine connection. The approaches to projection tensor fields which have been used in general relativity and related theories assume normal projection tensors of co-dimension one and connections which are metric compatible and torsion-free. These assumptions fail for projections onto lightlike curves or surfaces and other situations where degenerate metrics occur as well as projections onto two-surfaces and projections onto spacetime in the higher dimensional manifolds of unified field theories. This paper removes these restrictive assumptions. One key idea is to define two different ''extrinsic curvature tensors'' which become equal for normal projections. In addition, a new family of geometrical tensors is introduced: the cross-projected curvature tensors. In terms of these objects, projection decompositions of covariant derivatives, the full Riemann curvature tensor and the Bianchi identities are obtained and applied to perfect fluids, timelike curve congruences, string congruences, and the familiar 3+1 analysis of the spacelike initial value problem of general relativity.
