description: Two recently introduced model-based bias-corrected estimators for proportion of true null hypotheses (π0) under multiple hypotheses testing scenario have been restructured for random observations under a suitable failure model, available for each of the common hypotheses. Based on stochastic ordering, a new motivation behind formulation of some related estimators for π0 is given. The reduction of bias for the model-based estimators are theoretically justified and algorithms for computing the estimators are also presented. The estimators are also used to formulate a popular adaptive multiple testing procedure. Extensive numerical study supports superiority of the bias-corrected estimators. The necessity of the proper distributional assumption for the failure data in the context of the model-based bias-corrected method has been highlighted. A case-study is done with a real-life dataset in connection with reliability and warranty studies to demonstrate the applicability of the procedure, under a non-Gaussian setup. The results obtained are in line with the intuition and experience of the subject expert. An intriguing discussion has been attempted to conclude the article that also indicates the future scope of study.

description: BACKGROUND
Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and latent tuberculosis are at substantial risk for the development of active tuberculosis. As a public health measure, prophylactic treatment with isoniazid has been suggested for HIV-infected persons who have anergy and are in groups with a high prevalence of tuberculosis.
METHODS
We conducted a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of six months of prophylactic isoniazid treatment in HIV-infected patients with anergy who have risk factors for tuberculosis infection. The primary end point was culture-confirmed tuberculosis.
RESULTS
The study was conducted from November 1991 through June 1996. Over 90 percent of the patients had two or more risk factors for tuberculosis infection, and nearly 75 percent of patients were from greater New York City. After a mean follow-up of 33 months, tuberculosis was diagnosed in only 6 of 257 patients in the placebo group and 3 of 260 patients in the isoniazid group (risk ratio, 0.48; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.12 to 1.91; P=0.30). There were no significant differences between the two groups with regard to death, death or the progression of HIV disease, or adverse events.
CONCLUSIONS
Even in HIV-infected patients with anergy and multiple risk factors for latent tuberculosis infection, the rate of development of active tuberculosis is low. This finding does not support the use of isoniazid prophylaxis in high-risk patients with HIV infection and anergy unless they have been exposed to active tuberculosis.

description: Metabasic rocks of the ophiolitic sequences of the Glockner Nappe and Eclogite Zone in the south-central Tauern Window, Austria, reveal important insights into rifting and spreading of the Alpine Tethys. U–Pb dating of magmatic zircons yields a concordant 157 ± 2 Ma crystallization age for the precursor of a coarse-grained metagabbro from the Glockner Nappe. The Late Jurassic intrusion age is coeval with mafic plutonic activity in the Western and Central Alps. Although Penninic ophiolitic sequences in tectonic windows of the Eastern Alps are usually disrupted, an ocean–continent transition setting can be reconstructed for the Glockner Nappe, similar to many ophiolites in the Liguria–Piemont domain in the Western and Central Alps. Together, these observations strongly suggest a formation in the Liguria–Piemont branch of the Alpine Tethys and are inconsistent with a formation in the Valais domain. This finding has important implications for paleogeographic reconstructions of the Penninic realm in the Eastern Alps. Whereas the Glockner Nappe metagabbro and metabasalts clearly reveal their depleted mantle origin, the metabasic rocks of the Eclogite Zone record a more complex formation history involving depleted mantle melting and crustal assimilation in a continental margin setting.

description: Recently, uniaxial negative thermal expansion (NTE) has been observed in transition-metal zirconides including tetragonal (CuAl2-type) CoZr2 and orthorhombic (Re3B-type) CoZr3. Here, we report the observation of uniaxial NTE in tetragonal (V3S-type) IrZr3. With increasing temperature, the lattice parameter for the a-axis and volume of IrZr3 increase, but the lattice parameter for the c-axis decreases. IrZr3 is a superconductor with a transition temperature of 2.3 K. The present result suggests that uniaxial NTE and related anomalous axis thermal expansion occur in various transition-metal zirconides, which will be important for designing superconducting device robust to temperature cycles using zero-thermal-expansion superconductors.

description: We report the first hypervelocity star (HVS) discovered from the LAMOST spectroscopic survey. It is a B-type star with a heliocentric radial velocity about 620 km/s, which projects to a Galactocentric radial velocity component of ~477 km/s. With a heliocentric distance of ~13 kpc and an apparent magnitude of ~13 mag, it is the nearest bright HVS currently known. With a mass of ~9Msun, it is one of the three most massive HVSs discovered so far. The star is clustered on the sky with many other known HVSs, with the position suggesting a possible connection to Galactic center structures. With the current poorly-determined proper motion, a Galactic center origin of this HVS remains consistent with the data at the 1sigma level, while a disk run-away origin cannot be excluded. We discuss the potential of the LAMOST survey to discover a large statistical sample of HVSs of different types.

Subjects: Social determinants of health

description: Background Rural and urban populations have disparate socio-demographic and economic characteristics, which have an influence on equity and their health seeking behavior. We examined and compared the health care seeking behavior for perceived morbidity between urban and rural households in Southwest Ethiopia. Methods Analytic cross-sectional study was conducted among urban and rural households living in Esera district of Southwest Ethiopia. A random sample of 388 head of households (126 urban and 262 rural)were selected. A pretested and structured questionnairewas used for data collection with face-to-face interview. In addition to descriptive methods, binary logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with health seeking behavior at p value of less than 0.05. Results Of the sample household heads, 377 (97.2%) (119 urban and 258 rural)were successfully interviewed. Among these, 58.4% (95% CI, 53.3'63.3%) of the households sought care from modern health care that was lower among rural (48.1%) than urban (80.7%) households. The prevalence of self-treatmentwas 35.3% in urban and 46.1% in rural households. Among the factors considered for modern health care utilization, higher monthly income (AOR, 5.6; 95% CI, 2.04'15.4), perceived severity of disease (AOR, 2.5; 95% CI, 1.1'5.8), acute duration of disease (AOR, 8.9; 95% CI, 2.4'33.3) and short distance from health facilities (AOR, 3; 95% CI, 1.2'8.4) among rural and being married (AOR, 11.3; 95% CI, 1.2' 110.2) and perceived severity of disease (AOR, 6.6; 95% CI, 1.1'10.9) among urban households showed statistically significant association. Conclusions The general health seeking behavior of households on perceived morbidity was satisfactory but lower in rural compared to urban households. Self-medicationwas also widely practiced in the study area. The findings signal the need to work more on accessibility and promotion of healthcare seeking behavior especially among rural households.

description: This thesis investigates "losses disguised as wins", a design feature of electronic gambling machines in which a net loss is displayed in a manner that closely resembles a genuine win. In light of the evidence reviewed, and the experimental studies conducted as part of this PhD project, the thesis argues that these events are commonly mistaken for wins and reinforce habitual gambling despite being financial losses. The thesis then concludes by advocating for stricter regulation of this design feature in Australia as a means to address gambling-related harm associated with electronic gambling machines.

description: Nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithms, especially those based on swarm intelligence, have attracted much attention in the last ten years. Firefly algorithm appeared in about five years ago, its literature has expanded dramatically with diverse applications. In this paper, we will briefly review the fundamentals of firefly algorithm together with a selection of recent publications. Then, we discuss the optimality associated with balancing exploration and exploitation, which is essential for all metaheuristic algorithms. By comparing with intermittent search strategy, we conclude that metaheuristics such as firefly algorithm are better than the optimal intermittent search strategy. We also analyse algorithms and their implications for higher-dimensional optimization problems.

description: Over the past decade, limited attention has been paid to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic in the United States. The global epidemic — particularly the epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa, where approximately two thirds of the world's population living with AIDS resides — has rightfully received most of the focus. Meanwhile, however, the prevalence of HIV infection within some U.S. populations now rivals that in some sub-Saharan African countries.

description: This paper presents a Bayesian analysis of linear mixed models for quantile regression using a modified Cholesky decomposition for the covariance matrix of random effects and an asymmetric Laplace distribution for the error distribution. We consider several novel Bayesian shrinkage approaches for both fixed and random effects in a linear mixed quantile model using extended L1 penalties. To improve mixing of the Markov chains, a simple and efficient partially collapsed Gibbs sampling algorithm is developed for posterior inference. We also extend the framework to a Bayesian mixed expectile model and develop a Metropolis–Hastings acceptance–rejection (MHAR) algorithm using proposal densities based on iteratively weighted least squares estimation. The proposed approach is then illustrated via both simulated and real data examples. Results indicate that the proposed approach performs very well in comparison to the other approaches.

description: Introduction:

Modeling studies suggest intensified HIV testing, linkage-to-care and antiretroviral treatment to achieve viral suppression may reduce HIV transmission and lead to control of the epidemic. To study implementation of strategy, population-level data are needed to monitor outcomes of these interventions. US HIV surveillance systems are a potential source of these data.

Methods:

HPTN065 (TLC-Plus) Study is evaluating the feasibility of a test, linkage-to-care, and treat strategy for HIV prevention in two intervention communities - the Bronx, NY, and Washington, DC. Routinely collected laboratory data on diagnosed HIV cases in the national HIV surveillance system were used to select and randomize sites, and will be used to assess trial outcomes.

Results:

To inform study randomization, baseline data on site-aggregated study outcomes was provided from HIV surveillance data by New York City and Washington D.C. Departments of Health. The median site rate of linkage-to-care for newly diagnosed cases was 69% (IQR 50%-86%) in the Bronx and 54% (IQR 33%-71%) in Washington, D.C. In participating HIV care sites, the median site percent of patients with viral suppression (<400 copies/mL) was 57% (IQR 53%-61%) in the Bronx and 64% (IQR 55%-72%) in Washington, D.C.

Conclusions:

In a novel use of site-aggregated surveillance data, baseline data was used to design and evaluate site randomized studies for both HIV test and HIV care sites. Surveillance data have the potential to inform and monitor sitelevel health outcomes in HIV-infected patients.
Factors associated with glycemic control among adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A cross-sectional survey in Ethiopia Endocrine Disorders
Creators: name: Gesesew, Hailay
Publisher: name: Torrens University Australia
Year: 2022
Subjects: Health equity

description: Background: Even though the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus is swelling rapidly in Ethiopia, data regarding glycemic control, a key strategy for marked reduction of diabetes mellitus complications, is scant. We have assessed the status of glycemic control and its contributing factors among adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: This was a facility based cross-sectional survey of 325 adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus attending in Jimma University Teaching Hospital, South west Ethiopia. Data from all the patients were collected between February and April 2014. Glycemic level was assessed by using fasting blood glucose level, and 'poor glycemic control' was defined when fasting blood glucose level was above 130 mg/dL (7 mm/L). Analysis included both descriptive and inferential statistics, and SPSS version 20.0 was used for all analysis. Results: 309 respondents were included in the survey. More than two-third (70.9 %) of the patients had poor blood glycemic control. Patients who were illiterate (AOR = 3.46, 95 % CI 1.01-11.91) and farmer (AOR = 2.47, 95 % CI 1.13-5.39) had high odds of poor glycemic control. In addition, taking combination of insulin and oral medication (AOR = 4.59, 95 % CI 1.05-20.14) and poor medication adherence (AOR = 5.08 95 % CI 2.02-12.79) associated statistically with poor glycemic control. Conclusion: Majority of patients had poor glycemic control. Patients with low level of education, being employed, on combinations of insulin and oral medication, and lower adherence to their medication were likely to have poor glycemic control. Education and awareness creation could be a cross cutting intervention for the significant factors.

description: In his 2003 State of the Union Address, President George W. Bush asked Congress to commit $15 billion over the next 5 years for the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) to combat the global epidemic of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Thus was launched one of the largest international health-assistance programs in history. PEPFAR has since been both condemned as unilateral, paternalistic, narrowly focused, and distorted by a political agenda and lauded as groundbreaking, visionary, effective, and responsible for saving hundreds of thousands of lives. This year, Congress has had to consider the reauthorization of the program. On July 16, the Senate approved legislation that would increase the funding to $48 billion for the next 5 years, sending the measure into conference committee. Thus, this seems an appropriate time to examine PEPFAR's achievements, limitations, and lessons for the future.

description: Polariton chemistry has emerged as an appealing branch of synthetic chemistry that promises mode selectivity and a cleaner approach to kinetic control. Of particular interest are the numerous experiments in which reactivity has been modified by virtue of performing the reaction inside infrared optical microcavities in the absence of optical pumping; this effort is known as "vibropolaritonic chemistry." The optimal conditions for these observations are (1) resonance between cavity and reactive modes at normal incidence ($k=0$), and (2) monotonic increase of the effect with the concentration of emitters in the sample. Importantly, vibropolaritonic chemistry has only been experimentally demonstrated in the so-called "collective" strong coupling regime, where there is a macroscopic number of molecules (rather than a single molecule) coupled to each photon mode of the microcavity. Strikingly, efforts to understand this phenomenon from a conceptual standpoint have encountered several roadblocks and no single, unifying theory has surfaced thus far. This perspective documents the most relevant approaches taken by theorists, laying out the contributions and unresolved challenges from each work. We expect this manuscript to not only serve as a primer for experimentalists and theorists alike, but also inform future endeavors in the quest for the ultimate formalism of vibropolaritonic chemical kinetics.

description: The very hard $γ$-ray spectrum from distant blazars challenges the traditional synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) model, which may indicate that there is the contribution of an additional high-energy component beyond the SSC emission. In this paper, we study the possible origin of the hard $γ$-ray spectrum from distant blazars. We develop a model to explain the hard $γ$-ray spectrum from blazar 1ES 1101-232. In the model, the optical and X-ray radiation would come from the synchrotron radiation of primary electrons and secondary pairs, the GeV emission would be produced by the SSC process, however, the hard $γ$-ray spectrum would originate from the decay of neutral pion produced through proton-photon interactions with the synchrotron radiation photons within the jet. Our model can explain the observed SED of 1ES 1101-232 well, especially the very hard $γ$-ray spectrum. However, our model requires the very large proton power to efficiently produce the $γ$-ray through proton-photon interactions.

description: BACKGROUND
Several agents are effective in preventing Mycobacterium avium complex disease in patients with advanced human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. However, there is uncertainty about whether prophylaxis should be continued in patients whose CD4+ cell counts have increased substantially with antiviral therapy.

METHODS
We conducted a multicenter, double-blind, randomized trial of treatment with azithromycin (1200 mg weekly) as compared with placebo in HIV-infected patients whose CD4+ cell counts had increased from less than 50 to more than 100 per cubic millimeter in response to antiretroviral therapy. The primary end point was M. avium complex disease or bacterial pneumonia.

RESULTS
A total of 520 patients entered the study; the median CD4+ cell count at entry was 230 per cubic millimeter. In 48 percent of the patients, the HIV RNA value was below the level of quantification. The median prior nadir CD4+ cell count was 23 per cubic millimeter, and 65 percent of the patients had had an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-defining illness. During follow-up over a median period of 12 months, there were no episodes of confirmed M. avium complex disease in either group (95 percent confidence interval for the rate of disease in each group, 0 to 1.5 episodes per 100 person-years). Three patients in the azithromycin group (1.2 percent) and five in the placebo group (1.9 percent) had bacterial pneumonia (relative risk in the azithromycin group, 0.60; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.14 to 2.50; P=0.48). Neither the rate of progression of HIV disease nor the mortality rate differed significantly between the two groups. Adverse effects led to discontinuation of the study drug in 19 patients assigned to receive azithromycin (7.4 percent) and in 3 assigned to receive placebo (1.1 percent; relative risk, 6.6; P=0.002).

CONCLUSIONS
Azithromycin prophylaxis can safely be withheld in HIV-infected patients whose CD4+ cell counts have increased to more than 100 cells per cubic millimeter in response to antiretroviral therapy.

description: Premise Most phylogenomic library preparation methods and bioinformatic analysis tools in restriction site–associated DNA sequencing (RADseq)/genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) studies are designed for use with Illumina data. The lack of alternative bioinformatic pipelines hinders the exploration of long-read multi-locus data from other sequencing platforms. The Simple Long-read loci Assembly of Nanopore data for Genotyping (SLANG) pipeline enables locus assembly, orthology estimation, and single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) calling using Nanopore-sequenced multi-locus data. Methods and Results Two test libraries (Leucanthemum spp., Senecio spp.; Compositae) were prepared using an amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP)-based method to reduce genome complexity, then Nanopore-sequenced, and analyzed with SLANG. We identified 704 and 448 orthologous loci with 12,368 and 10,048 SNPs, respectively. The constructed phylogenetic networks were identical to a GBS network produced using Leucanthemum Illumina data and were consistent with Senecio species circumscriptions based on morphology. Conclusions SLANG identifies orthologous loci and extracts SNPs from long-read multi-locus Nanopore data for phylogenetic inference, population genetics, or phylogeographical studies. Combined with an AFLP-based library preparation, SLANG provides an easily scalable, cost-effective, and affordable alternative to Illumina-based RADseq/GBS procedures.

description: Internal migration in China during the last three decades, the largest in human history, offers a rare opportunity to understand inequalities in the making. Using data spanning 10 years from China’s largest metropolis, Shanghai, this study assesses how enduring state institutions interplay with the spread of market forces to shape income inequality between migrants and native urban workers. Though the wages of both Chinese migrants and urban workers rose considerably, economic restructuring during the decade under study resulted in diminished privileges for urbanites and subsequently increased collision between migrants and urban workers in the private sectors. These shifts, rather than substantially reducing inequality, have led to an evolving form of inequality, from an initial general blatant discrimination against migrants across the board, to a new and more subtle form of inequality characterized by substantial segmented discrimination against migrants within economic sectors, with the degree of inequality varying from sector to sector. We discuss how this changing inequality reflects complementary rather than competing roles of the state and market institutions in inequality creation and maintenance.

description: These Sessional Clippings books cover the period 1891 to 1972, and include newspaper accounts written by various legislative reporters who covered debates occurring in the British Columbia Legislative Assembly. Transcripts of debates of the Legislative Assembly (Hansard) were not published in B.C. until 1970; hence these "Sessional Clipping Books" augment the "Journals", the record of daily proceedings of the Legislative Assembly. Selected clippings from various newspapers including the Vancouver Sun, the Vancouver Province, the Colonist, and the Times newspapers, relating to the newspaper reports concerning activities of the Legislature. The original sessional clippings books comprise 351 ledger size print volumes, held at the Legislative Library in Victoria BC.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Human-Computer Interaction (cs.HC)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: As a standard keyboard is quite spacious many inventions try to use the space of keyboard to use for various activities. A modular keyboard is designed in such a way that the components of the keyboard can be attached and detached as per the need. This article illustrates 10 inventions on modular keyboard from US patent database. The objective of these inventions is to make a keyboard modular, so that the same keyboard can be made smaller by detaching some of its components and larger by attaching additional attachments. Some modular keyboards provide slots for external attachments like mouse, telephone, speakers, joystick and storage devices etc.

description: In an unpublished 2005 paper T. Rivoal proved a formula giving 4/pi as the infinite product of factors (1 + 1/(k+1)) to a power involving the integer part of the logarithm of k in base 2 and a 4-periodic sequence. We show how a lemma in a 1988 paper of J. Shallit and the author allows us to prove that formula, as well as a family of similar formulas involving occurrences of blocks of digits in the base-B expansion of the integer k, where B is an integer larger than 1.

description: A key tracer of the elusive progenitor systems of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) is the detection of narrow blueshifted time-varying Na I D absorption lines, interpreted as evidence of circumstellar material (CSM) surrounding the progenitor system. The origin of this material is controversial, but the simplest explanation is that it results from previous mass loss in a system containing a white dwarf and a non-degenerate companion star. We present new single-epoch intermediate-resolution spectra of 17 low-redshift SNe Ia taken with XShooter on the ESO Very Large Telescope. Combining this sample with events from the literature, we confirm an excess (~20 per cent) of SNe Ia displaying blueshifted narrow Na I D absorption features compared to non-blueshifted Na I D features. The host galaxies of SNe Ia displaying blueshifted absorption profiles are skewed towards later-type galaxies, compared to SNe Ia that show no Na I D absorption, and SNe Ia displaying blueshifted narrow Na I D absorption features have broader light curves. The strength of the Na I D absorption is stronger in SNe Ia displaying blueshifted Na I D absorption features than those without blueshifted features, and the strength of the blueshifted Na I D is correlated with the B-V colour of the SN at maximum light. This strongly suggests the absorbing material is local to the SN. In the context of the progenitor systems of SNe Ia, we discuss the significance of these findings and other recent observational evidence on the nature of SN Ia progenitors. We present a summary that suggests there are at least two distinct populations of normal, cosmologically useful SNe Ia.

Electric control of spin states in frustrated triangular molecular magnets

description: Frustrated triangular molecular magnets are a very important class of magnetic molecules since the absence of inversion symmetry allows an external electric field to couple directly with the spin chirality that characterizes their ground state. The spin-electric coupling in these molecular magnets leads to an efficient and fast method of manipulating spin states, making them an exciting candidate for quantum information processing. The efficiency of the spin-electric coupling depends on the electric dipole coupling between the chiral ground states of these molecules. In this paper, we report on first-principles calculations of spin-electric coupling in $\{V_3\}$ triangular magnetic molecule. We have explicitly calculated the spin-induced charge redistribution within the magnetic centers that is responsible for the spin-electric coupling. Furthermore, we have generalized the method of calculating the strength of the spin-electric coupling to calculate any triangular spin 1/2 molecule with $C_3$ symmetry and have applied it to calculate the coupling strength in $\{V_{15}\}$ molecular magnets.
(Why) Are Cognitive human factors missing from the blunt end in the oil and gas industry?

description: The International Association of Oil & Gas producers (OGP) prioritized "more
attention paid to HF" as one key issue after the Macondo disaster. We have explored if there is sufficient attention to HF in Norway and why HF is missing through HF verification of four control centers. Our assessment is that HF is poorly prioritized and HF experts and focus is often missing from user organizations. HF must focus on cognitive and organizational factors from the start and organizations should have competence to involve HF experts. Validation and verification from certified HF experts should be performed as early as possible.

description: Workplaces of universities are changing. The study analyzed and identified work, workplace needs and experiences of university staff at the beginning of a broad
building renovation. The university staff was profiled with different tasks, work specific needs and space requirements. The facilities supported well independent, individual tasks, but less collaboration and teamwork. The identified problems were related to the quality of indoor air, temperature and acoustics. The staff participated in workplace design through workshops. They submitted a great number of feasible development ideas with regard to the future working and learning environment.

description: We prove an intrinsic equivalence between strong hypercontractivity and a strong logarithmic Sobolev inequality for the cone of logarithmically subharmonic functions. We introduce a new large class of measures, Euclidean regular and exponential type, in addition to all compactly-supported measures, for which this equivalence holds. We prove a Sobolev density theorem through log-subharmonic functions, and use it to prove the equivalence of strong hypercontractivity and the strong log Sobolev inequality for such log-subharmonic functions.
Household Migration, Social Support, and Psychosocial Health: The Perspective from Migrant-Sending Areas

description: An extensive literature demonstrates various negative health consequences of family disruption in Western societies, which is largely due to marital dissolution. In developing settings, family disruption commonly arises in the context of labor out-migration. However, studies on household emigration often focus on the economic benefits from remittances, overlooking emigration as a source of stress and loss of social support. This research examines the psychosocial consequences of internal out-migration using longitudinal survey data collected in Indonesia between 1993 and 2007. Results demonstrate considerable psychosocial costs of out-migration, with adults left behind by migrants more susceptible to stress-related health impairments such as hypertension and to psychological distress such as depressive symptoms. These findings largely hold when specific relations are investigated, including spouses left behind and parents left behind by adult children. This study also finds some support for the stress-buffering role of social support from extended families and the differential psychosocial processes for men and women.
Serious play approaches in participative ergonomics

description: Recent years have seen the focus of research in Participatory Ergonomics (PE)
shift to the development of tools to support the PE process. The mechanisms and key theories underlying LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® (LSP) suggest that it is a suitable tool to support this process. The core of LSP is a facilitated workshop where participants respond to tasks by building symbolic and metaphorical models using LEGO bricks. LSP is an innovative, experiential process which has been shown to extend players’ awareness of problems and ideas, enhance creativity and enable teamwork. As such, LSP should be able to fulfill the requirements of PE in generating acceptable ergonomics solutions.
