The State Of Sport Photojournalism

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Based on a global survey of photojournalism and case studies of recent transformations in the use of photography in sport, this paper critically analyses current professional practices of sport photojournalists focusing on the contemporary challenges faced by this industry. Rhetoric proclaiming the death of the photographer in the age of video technology and self-mass communication of digital photographs has presented a major challenge to the survival of photographers and photography as a professional practice in news media. In the specific field of sport photojournalism, photographers have faced added challenges of accreditation to sport with the selective access to sporting venues or events through commercial licensing of &ldquo;preferred media partners&rdquo; and increasing management of &ldquo;image rights&rdquo; and anti-piracy measures. This has occurred at a time when sport images and the digital distribution of sporting images are greater than ever. The data for this article are taken from a World Press Photo Foundation&ndash;University of Stirling longitudinal project on photojournalism and represents the views and experiences of over 700 photographers who are engaged in sports photojournalism.
[Postoperative obstructions].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The intestinal obstructions after a laparotomy in adult may be caused by an inflammatory or a mechanic pathology; the incidence of the bowel obstruction in the early postoperative period is about 0.5 to 2% of all surgical procedures; these obstructions are often related to the degree of contamination or infection; contrary to postoperative paralytic ileus, they result in a reoperation, so as a peritonitis may be associated. In the later postoperative period intestinal obstructions may be caused by adhesions, internal strangulation or fibrosis bridles; these obstructions are frequent and they affect especially the small intestine (5% of laparotomies will be complicated by small bowel obstruction). The intestine volvulus due to bridles or adhesions is observed in approximately 10% of cases and the diagnosis must be conjured up in principle because it necessities an operation immediately; it's the same for the strangulation by incarceration. The absence of classic indicators of gangrene permits a non-operative treatment using a naso-gastric tube decompression during 24 to 48 hours: generally the causes of obstruction are small bowel adhesions, nevertheless it's important to eliminate a colonic obstruction. The management of chronic postoperative adherences is a difficult problem because the iterative operations increase the risk of intestinal obstructions; the video-laparoscopic surgery seems to be a promising technique to prevent and to treat (laparoscopic adhesiolysis) the post-operative adherences; its results are not evaluated.
Creating a culture of prevention in occupational safety and health practice: Perceived body discomfort in two sitting positions

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Prolonged sitting is one of the factors for back discomfort. Sitting in the same position for long periods of time is worse. This experimental based study was conducted to achieve three objectives. There were to 1) identify whether is there any differences between perceived body discomfort among respondents before and after upright sitting, 2) identify whether is there any differences between perceived body discomfort among respondents before and after slump sitting and 3) compare the level of perceived body discomfort among respondents after two sitting postures. Thirty young and healthy adults were recruited as study respondents. Each respondent was asked to sit in a posture either upright or slump for 30 minutes. Respondents were then rated their body discomfort using Borg CR-10 scale before and after sitting. Another sitting posture was carried out after one day interval. There is a significant difference between perceived body discomfort among respondents before and after upright and slump sitting. Body discomfort of upright sitting was shown significantly greater than slump sitting. Although, slump sitting caused less discomfort than upright, but it proven by previous studies did not provide benefit to occupational safety and health practice in preventing occupational health related disease.
P13.13: First trimester predictive model of small‐for‐gestational age newborn without pre‐eclampsia

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

To develop a predictive model of small for gestational age (SGA) newborn without pre-eclampsia (PE) during the first trimester of pregnancy. A prospective longitudinal study was carried out in 5,502 patients that attended to an 11 + 0 - 13 + 6 weeks ultrasound scan at the Fetal Medicine Unit University of Chile Hospital. We identified 265 patients that subsequently delivered a SGA newborn (4.8%). SGA babies related with PE were excluded. Of SGA newborns, 119 (44.2%) were classified as under 5th centile. Mean, highest and lowest pulsatility index (PI) of uterine artery Doppler (UtAD) was also assessed. PI UtAD was logarithmic transformed, adjusted by clinical variables and expressed as a MoM of the unaffected group. Finally, to determine the better predictive model of stillbirth we used a multivariate analysis and a ROC curve was created. PI UtAD was adjusted by maternal age and CRL, and expressed as a MoM of the unaffected group. Clinical risk factors significantly related with SGA were BMI decrease (OR = 0.96 [0.92 - 0-98]), nulliparity (OR = 1.5 [1.2 - 1.9] and chronic hypertension background (OR = 44.8 [8.7 - 232.0]). Lowest-PI UtAD MoM was significantly related with SGA newborns less than 10th centile (OR = 2.3 [1.6 - 3.2]). With a fixed false positive rate of 10% the predictive model based only in clinical factors demonstrated a sensitivity of 18%, but with the addition of UtAD the detection rate increases to 24%. The detection capacity of SGA newborns with a combined model using clinical history and biophysical parameters was not better for detection of newborns of less than 5th centile. This study confirms that first trimester prediction of SGA newborns without PE is low, and new biophysical and/or bioquemical parameters are needed to improve detection in the future.

Introducing LABVIEW to Students has a Positive Impact on their Education

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

At the Virginia State University, LABVIEW software was introduced to all electronics engineering technology (EET) students without adding additional courses. LABVIEW is an easy-to-use, interactive, graphical programming language that is ideal for engineers and scientists. In Fall 2004, junior level students performed an “Introduction to LABVIEW” exercise designed for Advanced Electronics Laboratory Course. Students performing the exercise obtained the amplitude frequency response of an RC circuit using a manually controlled function generator and a computer-controlled oscilloscope. During spring 2005, one EET senior student improved the LABVIEW to include measurement of phase and have more readable code for measurement and analysis functionality. He also built a complete design for a traffic light controller. In Fall 2005, an introduction to LABVIEW was performed again. The first week was the same as in the fall 2004. In the second week, a presentation focusing on the benefits of LABVIEW was delivered. A comparison of LABVIEW and other programming languages was delivered as well as a demonstration of their enhanced programming skills. More LABVIEW programs were written by students. During spring 2006, three EET senior students designed and built a PID controller. They implemented their design using LABVIEW to include measurement of speed, phase and error for analysis functionality and simulation. It has been a great experience for students to learn LABVIEW and apply in their work.
A Measure of Adaptive Behavior of Learning Disabled Students

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

This study investigated the level of adaptive behavior among groups of learning disabled and mildly mentally retarded students. Definitions of learning disabilities usually emphasize discrepancies in academic performance and intellectual functioning without concern for chronological age-appropriate adaptive behavior. Deficits in adaptive behavior are accepted as an integral component for identification of mental retardation. Concern for deficits in adaptive behavior among learning disabled students has focused on perceiving nonverbal social cues ( I ) , continuum of development of social skills ( 3 ) , rate of social interaction ( 2 ) , and parental reactions ( 4 ) . To ascertain levels of adaptive behavior among groups of learning disabled and mildly mentally rearded students, The Coping Inventory ( 5 ) was used. The term coping is used to describe the adaptive behaviors a child uses to meet personal needs and to adapt to environmental demands. This observational instrument was field tested on 1,119 children, aged 3 to 16 yr., and included 513 (45 .8%) handicapped children. Reliability was established using measures of internal consistency-alpha coefficient, interrater reliability, and standard error of measurement. The 48 items are scored on a continuum from maladaptive ( 1 ) to adaptive ( 5 ) . The subjects were 10 learning disabled students in a resource room and 10 mildly mentally retarded students in a self-contained class with limited interaction with normal students. There were equal numbers of 12and 13-yr.-olds in each group. For pooled variance a t-test estimated significance of ratings by the two teachers. The format used was prescribed by SPSSX. None of the t ratios reached 2.1, necessary for significance at p f .05. Values for the respective six factors and adaptive behavior index were: Self-productive ( t ~ = .08, learning disabled M = 3.35, SD = .50, mentally retarded M = 3.33, SD = . 6 2 ) ; Self-active ( t ~ = -.55, learning disabled M = 3.19, SD = 3 7 , mentally retarded M = 3.38, SD = . 6 7 ) ; Self-flexible ( t ~ = .41, learning disabled M = 3.3, SD = .69, mentally retarded M = 3.19, SD = . 4 9 ) ; Environment-productive (& = .66, learning disabled M = 3.72, SD = .43, mentally retarded M = 3.57, SD = . 5 8 ) ; Environment-active ( t ~ = 1.50, learning disabled M = 3.79, SD = .94, mentally retarded M = 3.25, SD = . 6 3 ) ; Environment-flexible ( t ~ = .84, learning disabled M = 3.35, SD = .75, mencally retarded M = 3.10, SD = . 56 ) ; Over-all adaptive behavior index (t18 = .65, learning disabled M = 3.5, SD = .63, mentally retarded M = 3.33, SD = . 5 2 ) . The lack of statistically significant differences in the adaptive behavior skills of the groups as rated by teachers requires cross-validation with larger numbers of subjects. Deficits in the adaptive behavior repertoire of the learning disabled students ought to be considered in terms of appropriate placement, instructional strategies and goals, and evaluation.
Design of a Decision Support System for Chronic Pain Management to Support and Empower Nursing Professionals

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Digital decision support systems (DSS) are playing an increasingly important role in healthcare, as they can reduce the burden on nursing professionals and improve the quality of patient care, particularly in chronic pain management. The N!CA project aims to unburden and empower nurses by providing evidence-based decision support. The goal of this work is the design of a DSS that assists nursing professionals in pain assessment and decision-making. The system is based on an algorithm that analyses pain characteristics while identifying critical cases. Its development followed a user-centred approach, actively involving nursing professionals and medical experts at multiple stages, including iterative prototyping to ensure practical applicability. The developed DSS has the potential to support nursing professionals by reducing documentation workload and promoting evidence-based decision-making, as well as enhancing patient safety. Key technical challenges encountered include algorithm optimisation and ensuring seamless integration with existing electronic health records. Future steps include clinical validation of the prototype and integration into other areas of nursing care.
[Autologous epidural blood patch and post-lumbar puncture headache. A review of a 1-year period at a central hospital].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

During a period of one year in which 609 spinal anaesthetics were performed, seven men and eight women complained of post lumbar puncture headache (PLPH). This form of headache was most frequently localized to the forehead and neck. The maximal intensities of the PLPH were assessed as "7-8" on a 10 cm visual analogous scale. All of these patients were treated with autologous epidural blood patch (AEBP). A mean volume of 17.8 ml autologous blood (range 10-20 ml) was injected into the epidural space. The injection was stopped as soon as low back pain occurred. The effect of AEBP occurred after a latent period with an average of two hours (range 0.5-6 hours). The effects of AEBP were indicated on a five-point ad hoc scale as "complete" or "nearly complete" in 13 out of 15 patients. Relapse occurred in one patient. No significant adverse effects were observed. AEBP is thus considered as a safe and effective form of treatment of PLPH.
Chinese Poplar Propolis Inhibits MDA-MB-231 Cell Proliferation in an Inflammatory Microenvironment by Targeting Enzymes of the Glycolytic Pathway

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Propolis is rich in flavonoids and has excellent antitumor activity. However, little is known about the potential effects of propolis on glycolysis in tumor cells. Here, the antitumor effects of propolis against human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells in an inflammatory microenvironment stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were investigated by assessing the key enzymes of glycolysis. Propolis treatment obviously inhibited MDA-MB-231 cell proliferation, migration and invasion, clone forming, and angiogenesis. Proinflammatory mediators, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6, as well as NLRP3 inflammasomes, were decreased following propolis treatment when compared with the LPS group. Moreover, propolis treatment significantly downregulated the levels of key enzymes of glycolysis–hexokinase 2 (HK2), phosphofructokinase (PFK), pyruvate kinase muscle isozyme M2 (PKM2), and lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) in MDA-MB-231 cells stimulated with LPS. After treatment with 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG), an inhibitor of glycolysis, the inhibitory effect of propolis on migration was not significant when compared with the LPS group. In addition, propolis increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential. Taken together, these results indicated that propolis targeted key enzymes of glycolysis to suppress the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells in an inflammatory microenvironment. These studies provide a molecular basis for propolis as a natural anticancer agent against breast cancer.

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Education is a difficult matter to avoid from a dynamic human life that is always moving forward. One of the important parts of education is learning. By creating a comfortable atmosphere, students will be enthusiastic and not bored when learning takes place. The argument is in line with quantum learning. Quantum learning is one of the methods that attracts students to learn with a comfortable and exciting atmosphere and conditions so that students will be free to discover new things in learning. The purpose of this study is to explain three important things, namely: how the model, framework and strategy of Quantum learning at the elementary school level. This research uses a literature study the reason for choosing the method is to describe simply the thesis of this study.
A novel ESG Materiality methodology combining criterion level and sector-based approaches.

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

As the ESG principles are rapidly becoming critical in the decision-making process of investment undertaking, companies must deal with ESG reporting either to fulfil obligatory requirements according to EU legislation or, to stay competitive and in line with the investing trends. In the market, several ESG rating methodologies exist consisting of numerous criteria and indicators that companies must consider in their reporting. Nevertheless, neither all ESG rating frameworks consider the same criteria, nor do all criteria have the same materiality weighting when estimating the final ESG rating. Thus, the establishment of a standardized and normalized ESG criteria materiality framework is considered crucial. This will enable the fine-tuning and calibration of the ESG evaluation, with materiality values that reflect accordingly the significance of the most important criteria. In addition, this methodology will enhance the comparability of the results of the different companies’ evaluations while creating a harmonized framework. The present manuscript introduces an integrated methodology for the estimation of the ESG materiality factors putting emphasis on the most frequent criteria of the main economic sectors. The methodology analyses data from several sources, including academic papers and methodologies, companies’ reports and globally established rating frameworks. The proposed approach results in the estimation of the materiality values for each criterion of a specific ESG rating scorecard, as well as introduces an overview of the materiality issues for each economic sector.
Towards an Ontology of the Food Artwork: On Heston Blumenthal’s “Bacon-and Egg Ice Cream” and Taste in the Age of its Technological Reproducibility

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In Jacques Rancière’s essay “The Distribution of the Sensible,” Rancière basically argues that any object may be used to make Art inasmuch as Art in the 21st century is no longer subject to essential criteria that condition how an object ought to be represented. While admittedly Rancière has had a minimal impact on Food Studies, the idea that any food object is Art is a central aesthetic-theoretical supposition within Food Studies and the food world at large. Employing Roman Ingarden’s central thesis in Ontology of the Artwork, namely, that particular artworks are intentional objects conditioned by their particular intentional sensate structures, I argue one must understand the “food artwork” as an absolutely particular ontological object that is conditioned by the intentional sensate structures of the food object and not its representational aims. In doing so, I also question what is traditionally thought to be the relation between ideas and sense-perception as well as the hierarchy of the senses in 18th century Western thought by way of an interpretation of Condillac’s Treatise on Sensations and a consideration of Michel Onfray’s La Raison Gourmande. To illustrate my argument, I consider two examples of what I deem to qualify as “food artworks,” namely, Chef Heston Blumenthal’s “Bacon-and-Egg Ice Cream” and, by way of considering Walter Benjamin’s writings on reproducibility and its relation to artworks, “Locavore dishes.”
ROBUST INTEGER HAAR WAVELET BASED WATERMARKING USING SINGULAR VALUE DECOMPOSITION

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper proposed a hybrid watermarking method that used dither quantization of Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) on average coefficients of Integer Haar Wavelet Transform (IHWT). The watermark image embeds through dither quantization process on singular coefficients value. This scheme aims to obtain the higher robustness level than previous method which performs dither quantization of SVD directly on image pixels value. The experiment results show that the proposed method has proper watermarked images quality above 38dB. The proposed method has better performance than the previous method in term of robustness against several image processing attacks. In JPEG compression with Quality Factor of 50 and 70, JPEG2000 compression with Compression Ratio of 5 and 3, average filtering, and Gaussian filtering, the previous method has average Normalized Correlation (NC) values of 0.8756, 0.9759, 0.9509, 0.9905, 0.8321, and 0.9297 respectively. While, the proposed method has better average NC values of 0.9730, 0.9884, 0.9844, 0.9963, 0.9020, and 0.9590 respectively.
Abstract 47: A case of Post-COVID-19 thyrotoxicosis and a cavalcade of complications

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Thyroid dysfunction has been reported following COVID-19 infection in the recent past. A 50 year old hypertensive female with no previous thyroid illness, developed features of thyrotoxicosis two weeks after a COVID-19 infection. There was no thyromegaly, neck pain or fever and her ESR was 15 mm/hour. She was initiated on propranolol and methimazole in an outside hospital. Ten days later, she presented to our hospital with fever, sore throat, cough and breathing difficulty. On evaluation she was found to be in neutropenic sepsis (WBC -820 cells/mm3, ANC-6 cells/mm3). Evaluation of thyroid functions showed: TSH- <0.00025 IU/ml, free T3 - 4.17 pg/ml, free T4- 3.59 ng/ml and Thyroid Receptor Antibody Levels (TRAb)- 2.53 IU/L. Following treatment with colony stimulating factors and antibiotics she recovered. The patient was commenced on lithium bicarbonate and cholestyramine, along with propranolol. On follow up in the OPD she is euthyroid with free T4 1.43 ng/ml (normal) levels. Post COVID-19 thyrotoxicosis in this case is likely due to Graves’ disease. Thyrotoxicosis following COVID-19 is now being recognised and is possibly due to infection induced molecular mimicry with activation of immune pathways causing autoimmune disorders.
The design and operation of TeraHertz sources based on silicon germanium alloys

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

During the past few years, vigorous studies have begun on semiconductor devices that generate and detect frequencies from 0.3 - 10 TeraHertz (1000 30 /spl mu/m). Previous THz sources were based on electrical methods using transistor oscillators (to 0.5 THz), diode frequency multipliers (to 2.5 THz), and femtosecond optical pulse switches. Infrared emitters such as the Quantum Cascade Laser in the III-V semiconductors have been difficult to extend to THz frequencies due to reststrahlen absorption by polar phonons. In contrast, Si has lower absorption and devices may be able to operate over a broader THz range than the III-V semiconductors. This report describes the fabrication and characterization of THz sources based on three different design approaches: intersubband transitions in Silicon Germanium quantum wells, resonant state transitions in boron-doped strained SiGe quantum wells, and dopant impurity transitions in doped Si layers.
