Given a passage classify if the passage has a definite objective/aim/goal or not. Output '1' if the passage has a defininte objective/aim/goal and output '0' if the passage does not have a definite objective/aim/goal.
question:
Spinally elicited peripheral nerve responses, commonly called neurogenic motor evoked potentials (NMEPs), are widely used to monitor spinal cord motor function during surgery. However, numerous evidence suggests that these responses are primarily sensory rather than motor. The collision technique was utilized to address this issue.', 'Collision studies were performed in 7 patients during surgery. An ascending volley of sensory (AS) and motor activity (AM) was elicited by posterior tibial nerve stimulation at the popliteal fossa. After a short time delay, high cervical spinal stimulation produced a descending volley of sensory (DS) and motor (DM) activity. The AM volley ascended only to the anterior horn cells whereas the AS and DS volleys collided in the spinal cord. The inter-stimulus delays were varied so as to affect the degree of spinal cord collision. The DS and DM activity which remained after collision was recorded from the posterior tibial nerves at the ankle.', 'Inter-stimulus delays of 18 ms or less resulted in no apparent peripheral descending volleys. These findings were consistent for all the patients studied.

question:
Hedonic hunger refers to consumption of food just for pleasure and not to maintain energy homeostasis. Recently, consumption of food for pleasure was reported to be associated with increased circulating levels of both the orexigenic peptide ghrelin and the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoyl-glycerol (2-AG) in normal-weight subjects. To date, the effects of hedonic hunger, and in particular of chocolate craving, on these mediators in obese subjects are still unknown.', 'To explore the role of some gastrointestinal orexigenic and anorexigenic peptides and endocannabinoids (and some related congeners) in chocolate consumption, we measured changes in circulating levels of ghrelin, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), peptide YY (PYY), anandamide (AEA), 2-AG, palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), and oleoylethanolamide (OEA) in 10 satiated severely obese subjects after consumption of chocolate and, on a separate day, of a non-palatable isocaloric food with the same bromatologic composition. Evaluation of hunger and satiety was also performed by visual analogic scale.', 'The anticipatory phase and the consumption of food for pleasure were associated with increased circulating levels of ghrelin, AEA, 2-AG, and OEA. In contrast, the levels of GLP-1, PYY, and PEA did not differ before and after the exposure/ingestion of either chocolate or non-palatable foods. Hunger and satiety were higher and lower, respectively, in the hedonic session than in the non-palatable one.

question:
The Duffy blood group (Fy) antigen functions as the receptor whereby the malarial parasite Plasmodium vivax invades reticulocytes. In this study, we evaluated an autologous blood donation model to measure Fy expression during the anticipated response to blood loss.', 'This study aims to examine Fy expression following anticipated reticulocytosis in response to blood loss from autologous whole blood donation.', 'Subjects were healthy blood donors presenting for planned collection of two or three autologous units. Whole blood (450 ml +/- 10%) was collected and processed. Blood samples for Fy testing were obtained from the donations. These were assayed by flow cytometry by measuring binding of a phycoerythrin-labelled anti-Fy6 antibody and compared against reticulocyte numbers. Reticulocyte numbers were measured using thiazole orange. Results were compared from baseline (first donation) with samples at second and, if available, third, donations. Phenotyping for Fy a and b antigens was performed.', 'Reticulocytes increased by a mean of 37% over baseline [0.93% (range 0.31-1.93) to 1.23% (0.32-3.51%)] following donation of two (n = 32) or three (n = 9) autologous whole blood units. Absolute reticulocyte count remained low. Mean and median Fy expression on mature red blood cells and reticulocytes did not change from baseline levels despite individual variation. No apparent relationship to serologically determined Fy a and/or b antigen status was present.
