Therapeutical Instrumental Music Performance (TIMP)®

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Therapeutic Instrumental Music Performance (TIMP) is a Neurological Music Therapy (NMT)® technique that is mostly applied in neurological motor rehabilitation. Musical instruments are used to help patients exercise the motor function of a deficient part of their body and to help regain functional patterns of movement to complete activities of daily living. In TIMP, musical instruments can serve both to define the parameters of the desired movement and as targets to which movement can be directed. The specific instrumental setup visually defines the parameters of the movement. Also, the patient receives both auditory and kinaesthetic feedback from successfully contacting the target instrument. This chapter provides a summary of current research on how basic neural principles like direct sensorimotor synchronization (entrainment) to auditory-rhythmic patterns are used in helping to initialize and regulate motor movements. It is followed by an overview of the outcomes of clinical studies using TIMP with patients suffering from various neurological impairments. At the end of the chapter, a catalogue of examples for group and single settings with thematic priority for single movements is given.
Stereoselectivity in N-Iminium Ion Cyclization: Development of an Efficient Synthesis of (±)-Cephalotaxine

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

A stereoselective N-iminium ion cyclization with allylsilane to construct vicinal quaternary-tertiary carbon centers was developed for the concise synthesis of (±)-cephalotaxine. The current strategy features a TiCl4-promoted cyclization and ring-closure metathesis to furnish the spiro-ring system. The stereochemical outcome in the N-acyliminium ion cyclization was rationalized by the stereoelectronic effect of the Z- or E-allylsilane. Two diastereomers arising from the cyclization were merged into the formal synthesis of (±)-cephalotaxine.

The contrasting social logics of sociality and survival: Cultures of classed be/longing in late modernity

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Late modernity has been characterized as a space, place and ‘series of flows’, marking conditions of complexity, contradiction and diversity as the global economics of capital restructuring reach down into the local/e to radically disorganize prior social forms of collective and political identity and allegiance (Giddens, 1998). Individualization implies a de-coupling of self from the weight of group, community and tradition, thus more local, idiosyncratic and syncretic trajectories are now said to structure ‘biographies of choice’. My starting points for reflecting on this are Bourdieu’s conceptualization of the ‘social logics of the individual’ conceived as a thoroughly social subject. I use this idea to frame how two contrasting locales shape the subject within their respective interpersonal relations. Gender and class are central terms of the following discussion examining the newly improvized identities of the digitally enhanced and networked middle class, alongside the survival identities impelled by those ‘muddling through’ within disconnected locales.

This system uses a wide-band two-dimensional horn-antenna mixer array (HMA) whose frequency response is between 50 and 110 GHz and the ECE signal is selected using a 95 GHz local oscillator and a 93 GHz high-pass filter.
Advance End-of-Life Treatment Planning

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The year 1996 marks the fifth anniversary of the federal Patient Self-Determination Act. The Patient Self-Determination Act required hospitals, nursing homes, and health plans to ask whether patients have advance directives and to incorporate them into the medical record. A "living will" is an advance directive by which a person tells caregivers the circumstances in which life-sustaining treatment is to be provided or forgone if the patient is unable to communicate. A "durable power of attorney for health care" enables one to designate a person to speak on his or her behalf if the author loses decision-making capacity. "Advance planning" is the process of reflection, discussion, and communication of treatment preferences for end-of-life care that precedes and may lead to an advance directive.

Single-Element Remote-PPG

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Camera-based remote photoplethysmography technology (remote-PPG) has shown great potential for contactless pulse-rate monitoring. However, remote-PPG systems typically analyze face images, which may restrict applications in view of privacy-preserving regulations such as the recently announced General Data Protection Regulation in the European Union. In this paper, we investigate the case of using single-element sensing as an input for remote-PPG extraction, which prohibits facial analysis and thus evades privacy issues. It also improves the efficiency of data storage and transmission. In contrast to known remote-PPG solutions using skin-selection techniques, the input signals in a single-element setup will contain a non-negligible degree of signal components associated with non-skin areas. Current remote-PPG extraction methods based on physiological and optical properties of skin reflections are therefore no longer valid. A new remote-PPG method, named Soft Signature based extraction (SoftSig), is proposed to deal with this situation by softening the dependence of pulse extraction on prior knowledge. A large scale experiment validates the concept of single-element remote-PPG monitoring and shows the improvement of SoftSig over general purpose solutions.
[Schistosomiasis cases at the Teaching Hospital Královské Vinohrady in Prague].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

In our paper we present the diagnosis of schistosomiasis at the Teaching Hospital Královské Vinohrady in Prague. This helminthiasis is imported to the Czech Republic by tourists and foreigners from subtropical and tropical regions of Africa, Asia, Central and South America. An unrecognized and thus untreated infection may have serious, even fatal consequences for the patient. In the period 2003 to 2005 in our parasitological investigations we have seen two cases infested with two fluke species imported from Africa. We submit the case histories of these patients.
The influence of crustal strength on rift geometry and development – insights from 3D numerical modelling

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Abstract. The lateral distribution of strength within the crust is non-uniform, dictated by crustal lithology and the presence and distribution of heterogeneities within it. During continental extension, areas of crust with distinct lithological and rheological properties manifest strain differently, influencing the structural style, geometry, and evolution of the developing rift system. Here, we use 3D thermo-mechanical models of continental extension to explore how pre-rift upper-crustal strength variations influence rift physiography. We model a 500×500×100 km volume containing 125 km wide domains of mechanically “strong” and “weak” upper crust along with two reference domains, based upon geological observations of the Great South Basin, New Zealand, where extension occurs parallel to the boundaries between distinct geological terranes. Crustal strength is represented by varying the initial strength of 5 km3 blocks. Extension is oriented parallel to the domain boundaries such that each domain is subject to the same 5 mm yr−1 extension rate. Our modelling results show that strain initially localises in the weak domain, with faults initially following the distribution of initial plastic strain before reorganising to produce a well-established network, all occurring in the initial 100 kyr. In contrast, little to no localisation occurs in the strong domain, which is characterised by uniform strain. We find that although faults in the weak domain are initially inhibited at the terrane boundaries, they eventually propagate through and “seed” faults in the relatively strong adjacent domains. We show characteristic structural styles associated with strong and weak crust and relate our observations to rift systems developed across laterally heterogeneous crust worldwide, such as the Great South Basin, New Zealand, and the Tanganyika Rift, East Africa.
Directed Accumulation of Anticancer Depsipeptides by Characterization of Neoantimycins Biosynthetic Pathway and an NADPH-Dependent Reductase

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Neoantimycins (NATs) are members of antimycin-types of depsipeptides with outstanding anticancer activities. We isolated NAT-A (1) and -F (2) from the fermentation extract of Streptomyces conglobatus. The NAT biosynthetic gene cluster ( nat BGC) was identified by genome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. nat BGC includes two nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) and one polyketide synthase (PKS) gene, and a gene cassette (10 genes), of which the encoded enzymes share high homology to the ones responsible for 3-formamidosalicylate (3-FAS) biosynthesis in the antimycin biosynthetic pathway. Heterologous expression of the partial nat BGC without the 3-FAS gene cassette in the antimycin producer, Streptomyces albus J1074, results in the production of 1 and 2, suggesting that the nat BGC indeed directs NATs biosynthesis. Targeted in-frame deletion of the reductase gene ( natE) abolished the production of 1 and 2 but accumulated two NAT derivatives, the known NAT-H (3) and a new NAT-I (4). Biochemical verification demonstrated that the recombinant NatE indeed catalyzes an NADPH-dependent reaction of 3 or 4 to 1 or 2, respectively. Compound 3 presented significantly stronger activities against eight cancer cell lines than the ones using cisplatin, the clinical chemotherapy medicine. In particular, 3 displayed 559- and 57-fold higher activity toward human melanoma and cervix epidermoid carcinoma cells, respectively, compared with cisplatin. The new derivative, 4, was 1.5- to 10.9-fold more active than cisplatin toward five cancer cell lines. The evaluation of NATs biosynthesis depicted here will pave the way to generate new NAT derivatives through rational pathway engineering.
Mata o Masiasi (Face of Shame): Resituating Paul’s Fool’s Speech Within the Contours of Samoan Rhetoric

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This essay offers an example of Pacific Island biblical contextual reading. My approach draws on ‘Western’ methods (specifically sociorhetorical interpretation) but adapts and locates them for a Samoan cultural context. In this context, humour and derision can help save face in situations where violence and disorder may occur. The phrase mata o masiasi (face of shame) is utilized in Samoan society for such a purpose. This is an essential aspect of Samoan rhetoric, especially in a community where nurturing and sustaining the va (space-in-between, betweenness) is the sine qua non. The va is the relational space that is foundational to all relationships in society. Resituating the fool’s speech of 2 Corinthians 11.1–12.10 within an indigenous Samoan-inspired framework leads to new questions regarding the biblical text with the goal of resituating the biblical text to make sense in my Samoan context.
Histologic analysis of the interface of a titanium implant retrieved from a nonvascularized mandibular block graft after a 10-month loading period.

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

The combined use of bone grafts and osseointegrated implants appears to improve the long-term prognosis of transplanted bone. One question pertaining to the use of grafted bone is whether the biologic reaction to implants placed in grafted bone is the same as that seen under nongrafted conditions. A mandibular discontinuity defect in a 63-year-old female patient was repaired with a nonvascularized block graft into which 3 titanium implants were placed. After a 10-month loading period, one of the implants was retrieved and treated to obtain thin ground sections. The histologic examination showed mature bone in close contact with the implant surface; no gaps, fibrous tissue, or inflammatory cells were seen at the interface. No resorption phenomena were present. The bone at the interface was highly mineralized. The features of the regenerated bone and the bone-implant interface in grafted bone were similar to those seen in nongrafted situations; no differences were found with results presented in the literature concerned with retrieved implants placed into vascularized grafts.
Effects of pasteurization and different concentrations of xanthan gum on honey beverage

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Development of ready to drink (RTD) beverage containing honey as a natural ingredient to replace sugary (high calorie) beverage using pasteurization is a new emerging market. However, the stability of the beverage may be affected due to sedimentation in the solution thus the addition of xanthan gum to improve the stability was proposed. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of pasteurization and different concentrations of xanthan gum (0.05% and 0.1%) on the shelf life and physicochemical properties of honey beverages during storage at 25±2°C. The honey beverages were analyzed for total soluble solids (TSS), pH, rheological behavior, total phenolic content (TPC) and total plate count after processing at a specified time interval until the samples were deteriorated. The beverage containing 0.1% of xanthan gum shows significantly (p<0.05) higher stability in terms of TSS and total plate count than honey beverages containing 0.05% xanthan gum. Both pasteurized 0.05% and 0.1% xanthan gum enriched honey beverages samples remain acceptable in terms of TSS, pH, TPC and total plate count during 10 weeks of storage. On the contrary, all unpasteurized honey beverages were deteriorated after the first week of storage. Thus, pasteurization and addition of xanthan gum of honey beverages are recommended for longer shelf life at room temperature.
Greedy energy points with external fields

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Abstract. In this paper we introduce several extremal sequences of points on locally compact Hausdorff spaces and study their asymptotic properties. These sequences are defined through a greedy algorithm by minimizing a certain energy functional whose expression involves an external field. Some results are also obtained in the context of Euclidian spaces Rp, p ≥ 2. As a particular example, given a closed set A ⊂ Rp, a lower semicontinuous function f: R → (−∞, +∞] and an integer m ≥ 2, we investigate (under suitable conditions on A and f) sequences {ai} ∞ 1 ⊂ A that are constructed inductively by selecting the first m points a1,..., am so that the functional X mX

Application of Fuzzy Logic in Land Consolidation Activities

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

One of the most important steps of land consolidation projects is land reallocation studies. In Turkey, the reallocation studies of land consolidation projects are made according to farmer preferences (interviews). In addition to an interview-based land reallocation model, previous optimization studies have also used mathematical models for the reallocation procedure. Recently, the fuzzy logic method, which can model the human mindset and be used where it is impossible to create other forms of mathematical models, has also been applied to the field of geomatics engineering, as well as in other branches of engineering. This study examined the applicability of a fuzzy logic method at the reallocation stage of land consolidation study where development of an accurate mathematical model was not possible. The results obtained from the fuzzy logic-based land reallocation model were compared with those obtained from the interview-based land reallocation model.
43 NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING MODEL-BASED SOLUTION FOR LABELING BRAIN METASTASIS IN RADIOLOGY REPORTS

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Brain Cancer Canada Travel Award Recipient Brain metastases (BM) far exceed primary CNS tumours and constitute the majority workload for neuro-oncology care providers. Canadian Cancer Registry captures ~2800 BM identified at the primary cancer diagnosis in stage IV cancer patients, while we estimated that ~10,000 Canadians are diagnosed with BM annually. We aim to develop a natural language processing (NLP) algorithm to scan radiology reports on cancer patients to capture BM diagnoses as they occur. Using the population-based cancer registry data in Alberta Canada, we identified a cancer cohort diagnosed between 2012–2019, with follow-up reports up to 2022. All radiology reports at and post-cancer diagnosis that are related to brain/head were identified for this cohort. A subset of 1817 samples was then manually labeled for BM (yes/no) as a training dataset. We trained two BioBERT models, one using the “Findings” section and the other using the “Impressions” section of these reports. We predicted the BM label as yes when the probability estimate of either model is greater than a threshold. For testing, 1585 reports containing both the “Findings” and “Impressions” sections were selected. These reports were independently labeled by an annotator for external model evaluation. Using a threshold of 0.4, our ensembled model achieved 94.3% accuracy on BM predictions. Our model yielded an F1 score of 0.788, positive predictive value of 0.702, and sensitivity of 0.898. Model performance is currently being evaluated with radiology reports in Ontario, with results expected by the end of May.
The influence of pellet size and density on the intake by calves of dried grass pellets given as supplements to hay

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT High (1·31 kg/1) or medium-density (1·17 kg/1) dried grass pellets of 9, 12 or 18 mm diameter were given to British Friesian male calves of 7 to 14 weeks of age as supplements to chopped hay (Experiment 1). Pellets were given ad libitum but with access limited to two periods of 1½ h per day, and hay was given ad libitum for the remaining 21 h. In Experiment 2, high (1·34 kg/1) or medium-density (1·14 kg/1) dried grass pellets of 18 mm diameter were given to British Friesian male calves of 26 to 30 weeks of age. Pellets were given as supplements to chopped hay as in Experiment 1. There was no effect of pellet size or density on total intake of organic matter or live-weight gain by calves in either experiment. With the exception of animals given pellets of 12 mm diameter in Experiment 1, animals in both experiments consumed less pellets of high density than of medium density, but they were able to compensate for low pellet intake by eating more hay. The coefficients of variation for intake were higher in Experiment 1 than in Experiment 2, and higher for the intake of pellets than for total intake. There was a progressive increase in the intake (g organic matter/kg M 0·75 per day) by calves in Experiment 1, whereas in Experiment 2 intake increased for the first 10 days and then remained constant. On average the proportion of pellets and hay consumed did not change in Experiment 1, but in Experiment 2 the proportion of pellets in the feed consumed increased from 53·5 to 60·6%.
Is OCIO superior in asset allocation performance?

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This study aims to empirically analyze the asset allocation capabilities of Outsourced Chief Investment Officers (OCIOs) in Korea. The empirical analysis used data from 35 funds that were evaluated by the Ministry of Strategy and Finance from 2012 to 2020. The results of the analysis are summarized as follows. First, this study found that funds that adopted OCIO improved their asset allocation performance. Second, the sensitivity between risk-taking and performance decreased for funds that adopted OCIO. Third, it is found that OCIO adoption improves a fund's asset management execution (tactical capabilities). This study has methodological limitations in which the methodology used in this study is not based on theoretical prior research, but on practical applications. However, considering the need to clearly analyze the capabilities of OCIO and the timeliness of the topic, this study is valuable and can provide meaningful information to funders who are considering adopting OCIO in the future.
