Fashion in the classroom II: Instructor immediacy and attire

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Results of a 2 (immediacy conditions) X 3 (attire conditions) experimental study indicated lesser effects of attire on person perceptions when studied in a live interaction context as opposed to responses to photographs, as has been typical in previous studies. Influence of attire was largely limited to ratings of instructor extroversion, while immediacy influenced perceptions of extroversion, composure, character, competence, homophily, and learning. There was no statistically significant interaction between attire and immediacy; i.e., there was no indication that strategic choice of attire bolsters student ratings of non‐immediate instructors, or that "non professional" attire hurts judgements of immediate instructors.
Towards machine learned generative design

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Machine learned generative design is an extension of the generative design process, addressing its inherent limitations, particularly those of interoperability. The proposed approach uses machine learning-based surrogate models, trained on computational model data, to replicate design evaluations and integrate them into a common environment. In this way, design alternatives can be generated and tested that satisfy all design requirements and considerations. The effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated by the design and optimisation of the enclosure structure for the New Robotic Telescope. Its complexity is characterised by multiple operating states that the enclosure can assume, in particular the closed state and the opening/closing state, each of which has a different structural behaviour. Using our approach, the results from each state were replicated with machine learning models and combined into a single evaluation model. This resulted in finding multiple solutions that outperformed the benchmark design. The results demonstrate not only the success of our method over conventional strategies, but also highlight its potential to redefine future design optimisation processes.
Endometrial picture at removal of Copper T devices.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The endometrial condition at removal of the copper-T 200 IUD was studied in 100 cases fitted with copper T devices as a method of family planning for a period ranging from 6 to 24 months. In all cases, the device was removed for medical or personal reasons. Detailed personal, menstrual, and obstetric histories were taken. A complete physical examination was performed with general, abdominal, and pelvic examination. An abnormal endometrial pattern was present in 64% of cases and was not related to age, parity or duration of device use. Abnormal findings had significantly increased in cases presenting pain, vaginal discharge and symptoms of pelvic inflammatory diseases. Chronic inflammatory cellular reaction was present in 23% of cases. 16% of the cases showed a minimal inflammatory reaction with stromal edema.

Calculation Method and Experimental Study on Circumferential Total Clearance of Cageless Bearings

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper addresses the issue of the frequent collision and grinding of rolling elements in cageless bearings during operation by proposing a method to calculate the total circumferential clearance. The calculation is based on the maximum orbital speed difference in the bearing rolling elements to determine the minimum clearance needed to prevent collision. The study analyzes the impact of the rolling element diameter, bearing pitch diameter, contact angle, and number of rolling elements on the total circumferential clearance. The discussion then focuses on optimizing the number of rolling elements in cageless bearings. The optimization results demonstrate that the proposed calculation reduces collisions between rolling elements and bearing stress. Additionally, a total circumferential clearance test was conducted on a logarithmic spiral bearing, showing significant improvements in wear, average temperature, and temperature rise when designed according to the method presented in this article. These findings offer valuable insights into the design of cageless bearings.
Speech acts and language function used by the participants in Reader's Digest's "Laughter, The Best Medicine"

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Speech acts is the basic unit of communication. If the addressee cannot catch what actually the addresser means or the addressee cannot catch the speech act of the addresser, it often causes misunderstanding that sometimes lead into humor. Speech act and language function cannot be separated because language function is used to high light speech acts. In this study, the writer wants to analyze the locutionary, illocutionary, perlocutionary acts, and the language function of the utterances in the illocutionary and perlocutionary acts. The writer is also curious to know what makes the conversations in ?Laughter, the Best Medicine? become humorous. She assumed that the humorous utterances were caused by misunderstanding between the participants. Thus, the writer uses Schiffrin?s theory (1994) of speech acts to explain the locutionary act, illocutionary act, and perlocutionary act. Moreover, the writer also uses Kennedy?s theory (2003) to explain the language function. The data were divided based on the edition of Reader?s Digest. After classifying the data, the writer analyzed the jokes that were in the form of dialogues only by describing the locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts. The next step was describing the language function for each utterance. Finally, the writer explained the cause of humor of those conversations. From her analysis, the writer found out that the types of illocutionary act occurred were informatives, directives, and expressives. Moreover, the cause of the humor was not only because the hearer failed to catch the intended meaning of the speaker, but also because the hearer successfully caught what the intended meaning of the speaker was.
Impact management, worst scenatrio: possible technological strategic options

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Analysis of the present situation and future predictions leaves no doubt of the inevitability of progressive degradation of the ecosytem. A worst scenatio is an option which has to be considered in any strategic planning. Mistaken assessment, focussing on modern technology as teh cause rather than the agent porducing the current devastation, has called for its drastic curtailment. This would not help matters—in fact, technology may yet save the situation: by building refuges, in attempting to reverse the processes which undermine it, and in helping adaptations to present conditions, not only throuht mechanical devices but also through bioengineering. concurrently the main reasons for the plight of the planet—over-population, overkill and waste—have to be tackled. This can only be accomplished by a complete change in ethical standards—the taming of the ’genetic ethics‘ of growth and dominance and the institution of a new mnorality.

Management of Hypertension in Patients with Pneumonia Covid 19: A Literature Review

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

COVID-19 is an infectious respiratory disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. Originating from Wuhan, China, it spread quickly to the entire world. In just 6 months, it's reported no less than 7.700.000 confirmed cases by June 2020. The cause is severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2. Many organs are affected by Covid-19, especially the heart and lungs. Cardiovascular damage is frequently detected in patients with this condition. We can find troponin and/or creatine kinase increasing. Cytocine storm in Covid-19 can result towards multiple organ failure (MOF), which is life threatening. Cytocine storm manifested in excessive inflammation, hiperferritinemia, a marked increase in proinflammatory cytokines, hemodinamic instability, and lastly, multi organ failure, which can be fatal. From clinical symptoms, many of the patients developed pneumonia and severe acute respiratory distress syndrome, which is the main death cause of Covid-19. Hypertension and heart problems appear to be the highest comorbidity in patients diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonia and health risk in the environment. Multisystem involvement of severe COVID-19 patients necessitates a holistic approach to managing COVID-19-associated hypertension.
Pharmacologically active microcarriers influence VEGF‐A effects on mesenchymal stem cell survival

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Abstract Resistance of transplanted mesenchymal stem cells ( MSC s) in post‐ischemic heart is limited by their poor vitality. Vascular‐endothelial‐growth‐factor‐A ( VEGF ‐A) as such or slowly released by fibronectin‐coated pharmacologically‐active‐microcarriers ( FN ‐ PAM ‐ VEGF ) could differently affect survival kinases and anti‐apoptotic mediator ( e.g . Bcl‐2). Therefore VEGF ‐A or FN ‐ PAM ‐ VEGF could differently enhance cell proliferation, and/or resistance to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) of MSC s. To test these hypotheses MSC s were incubated for 6‐days with VEGF ‐A alone or with FN ‐ PAM ‐ VEGF . In addition, MSC s pre‐treated for 24‐hrs with VEGF ‐A or FN ‐ PAM ‐ VEGF were subsequently exposed to H/R (72‐hrs 3% O 2 and 3‐hrs of reoxygenation). Cell‐proliferation and post‐hypoxic vitality were determined. Kinases were studied at 30‐min., 1‐ and 3‐days of treatment. Cell‐proliferation increased about twofold ( P < 0.01) 6‐days after VEGF ‐A treatment, but by a lesser extent (55% increase) with FN ‐ PAM ‐ VEGF ( P < 0.05). While MSC pre‐treatment with VEGF ‐A confirmed cell‐proliferation, pre‐treatment with FN ‐ PAM ‐ VEGF protected MSC s against H/R. In the early phase of treatments, VEGF ‐A increased phospho‐Akt, phospho‐ ERK ‐1/2 and phospho‐ PKC ε compared to the untreated cells or FN ‐ PAM ‐ VEGF . Afterword, kinase phosphorylations were higher with VGEF , except for ERK ‐1/2, which was similarly increased by both treatments at 3 days. Only FN ‐ PAM ‐ VEGF significantly increased Bcl‐2 levels. After H/R, lactate dehydrogenase release and cleaved Caspase‐3 levels were mainly reduced by FN ‐ PAM ‐ VEGF . While VEGF ‐A enhances MSC proliferation in normoxia, FN ‐ PAM ‐ VEGF mainly hampers post‐hypoxic MSC death. These different effects underscore the necessity of approaches suited to the various conditions. The use of FN ‐ PAM ‐ VEGF could be considered as a novel approach for enhancing MSC survival and regeneration in hostile environment of post‐ischemic tissues.
Determining the contralateral breast dose during radiotherapy of breast cancer using rainbow dosimeter

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

External beam radiotherapy is being used regularly to treat the breast malignancy postoperatively. The contribution of the collimator leakage and scatter radiation dose to contralateral breast is of concern because of high radio sensitivity of breast tissue for carcinogenesis. This becomes more important when the age of breast cancer breast patient is younger than 45 years and therefore the contralateral breast must be treated as organ at risk. Quantification of contralateral dose during primary breast irradiation is helpful to estimate the risk of radiation induced secondary breast malignancy. In present study contralateral breast dose was measured in forty cancer breast patients undergoing external beam therapy by cobalt-60 teletherapy machine. Post-operative radiotherapy was delivered by medial and lateral tangential fields daily, in addition to supraclavicular field with 200 cGy per fraction to a total dose of 5000 cGy in 25 fractions. The detectors of rainbow dosimeter were employed for these measurements.The dose at the contralateral breast measured by a rainbow dosimeter for tangential fields was between 5.34–6.40% whereas for supraclavicular field it is 1.2–1.75% of the dose. The contribution due to the medial tangential field is almost twice as that due to lateral tangential field so that maximum dose which contributes contralateral breast dose is due to medial tangential field. The goal of this investigation was to quantify the radiation dose to the contralateral breast after radiotherapy for primary breast cancer. Rainbow dosimetry is easy, accurate and convenient method to measure the contralateral breast dose. Keywords: Breast cancer, Secondary cancer, Contralateral breast, Radiotherapy
Tunable Exciton Dissociation and Luminescence Quantum Yield at a Wide Band Gap Nanocrystal/Quasi-Ordered Regioregular Polythiophene interface

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

A comprehensive understanding of the effect of polymer chain aggregation-induced molecular ordering and the resulting formation of lower excited energy structures in a conjugated polymer on exciton dissociation and recombination at the interface with a wide-bandgap semiconductor is provided through correlation between structural arrangement of the polymer chains and the consequent electrical and optoelectronic properties. A vertical diode-type photovoltaic test probe is combined with a field effect current modulating device and various spectroscopic techniques to isolate the interfacial properties from the bulk properties. Enhanced energy migration in the quasi-ordered (poly(3-hexylthiophene)) (P3HT) film, processed through vibration-induced aggregation of polymer chains in solution state, is attributed to the presence of the aggregation-induced interchain species in which excitons are allowed to migrate through low barrier energy sites, enabling efficient iso-energetic charge transfer followed by the downhill energy transfer. We discovered that formation of nonemissive excitons that reduces the photoluminescence quantum yield in the P3HT film deactivates exciton dissociation at the donor (P3HT) close to the acceptor (ZnO) as well as in the P3HT far away from the ZnO. In other words, exciton deactivation in its film state arising from the quasi-ordered structural arrangement of polymer chains in solution is retained at the donor/acceptor interface as well as in the bulk P3HT. Effect of change in the highest occupied molecular orbital level and the resulting energy band bending at the P3HT/ZnO interface on exciton dissociation is also discussed in relation to the presence of vibration-induced aggregates in the P3HT film.

The cellulases of Trichoderma viride : mode of action and application in biomass conversion

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Beet pulp and potato fibre were liquefied and saccharified with a combination of cellulase from Trichodermaviride and pectinase from Aspergillusniger . Cell wall polysaccharides were hydrolysed extensively. The application of a packed column reactor, connected with a hollow fibre ultrafiltration unit was investigated for the enzymatic hydrolysis of beet pulp. A high degree of polysaccharide hydrolysis of spent grain by the action of cellulases was obtained after pretreatment with sulfuric acid or sodium hydroxyde. Essentially only monomeric sugars were present in the enzyme digest of the acid pretreated material . Six endoglucanases, three exoglucanases and a β-glucosidase were purified from a commercial cellulase preparation of T . viride origin. These enzymes were characterized with respect to their activities on several cellulosic substrates as well as chemical and physical properties. The β-glucosidase showed no cellobiase activity . Random and less random acting endoglucanases were distinguished. Adsorption, kinetic and synergistic behaviours of these enzymes were investigated on crystalline cellulose. It was shown that an optimal ratio of endoglucanase to exoglucanase was needed in order to obtain a maximal degree of synergism. This ratio could be related to the adsorption behaviours of the cellulases, suggesting that synergism between endoglucanases and exoglucanases takes place in very close cooperation at the surface of the cellulose particle . From activity experiments on xylan specific and nonspecific glucanases could be demonstrated. However, the non-specific glucanases prefer to hydrolyse β-1,4-glucosidic linkages over β-1,4-xylosidic bonds.
The Eating Attitudes Test: an index of the symptoms of anorexia nervosa

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Synopsis Data on the development of a 40-item measure of the symptoms in anorexia nervosa are reported. The scale (EAT) is presented in a 6-point, forced choice, self-report format which is easily administered and scored. The EAT was validated using 2 groups of female anorexia nervosa patients ( N = 32 and 33) and female control subjects ( N = 34 and 59). Total EAT score was significantly correlated with criterion group membership( r = 0·87, P < 0·001), suggesting a high level of concurrent validity. There was very little overlap in the frequency distributions of the 2 groups and only 7% of the normal controls scored as high as the lowest anorexic patient. Female obese and male subjects also scored significantly lower on the EAT than anorexics. Recovered anorexic patients scored in the normal range on the test, suggesting that the EAT is sensitive to clinical remission.
Community, Connectedness, And Learning In Exercise Science: Does Classroom Context Matter?

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Exercise science programs require rigorous academic preparation often taught in traditional classroom and lab settings. However, situated learning theory views learning as action in a community of practice, where the elements of social interaction, connectedness, and authentic participation transform cognitive understanding into meaningful knowing. Situated learning can have a complex effect on exercise science students’ connectedness, understanding, theory application, and professional skills. Additionally, social networks (like Facebook) can provide a modern educative community in which to increase engagement and connection in the classroom. PURPOSE: The purpose of this quantitative research was to examine the relationship between learning environment type (situated versus traditional) and the use of Facebook on undergraduate exercise science students’ perceived sense of overall classroom community, connectedness, and learning. METHODS: 69 undergraduate exercise science students (age [yrs] = 22.5 ± 2.1, males = 37.7%; females = 60.9%) who had participated in either a traditional course, traditional course with Facebook, a situated course, or a situated course with Facebook completed Rovai’s (2002) Classroom Community Survey at the end of their course experience. Multiple Regression was performed to determine if there were any significant differences between the four groups (α = .05). RESULTS: Results demonstrated a situated learning classroom and a situated learning classroom with Facebook were significant positive predictors of students’ perception of overall classroom community (R2 = .181, F(3, 65) = 4.794, p = .004), connectedness (R2 = .130, F(3, 65) = 3.232, p = .028), and learning (R2 = .186, F(3, 65) = 4.965, p = .004). CONCLUSIONS: This research supports situated learning as a best practice for increasing classroom community in undergraduate exercise science programs. Students perceived higher levels of overall classroom community, connectedness, and learning when participating in a situated classroom and to an even greater extent a situated classroom with Facebook. Incorporation of these types of learning environments and teaching strategies in exercise science degree programs may enhance professional skill development and successful employment within the field.
