How interior design responds to neurodiversity: implementing wearable technologies in neurodesign processes

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This perspective article, looking through the lens of neurodiversity, discusses the benefits and challenges of implementing virtual environments and wearable technologies in interior design and related fields. While the relationship between human perception and built environments has long been studied in the environmental design disciplines, the direct impact on occupant performance related to neurodiversity has been underexplored in research, with a shortage of knowledge supporting how it can be applied in design practice concerning the end users. Individuals’ perceptual, cognitive, and affective responses to their surroundings vary, as neurodiversity plays a key role in the invisible, human-environment interaction. Thus, measuring, analyzing, and understanding affective, perceptual, and cognitive experiences is a challenging process in which various factors come into play, and no single method or measurement can adequately work for all. Due to such challenges, research has also utilized various biometric measurements and tools for immersive experiments in physical and virtual environments, e.g., eye tracking used in studies on gaze behaviors and immersive virtual reality (IVR) used in studies on the spatial perception of dementia patients. Along with empirical methods, studies have stressed the contribution of phenomenology to looking into the hidden dimension, the ‘why factors’ of perception, cognition, and affectivity. Concerning the methodological approach, this perspective article shares insights into a novel process model, Participatory Neurodesign (PND) framework, used in wayfinding research and design processes utilizing eye tracking and IVR. Opportunities for neurodesign research and design practice are also discussed, focusing on the health, safety, and wellbeing of end-users.
BMA says it will resist any new contract that is bad for junior doctors

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The BMA has said that it will resist the imposition of a new contract for junior doctors if it is “bad for patients, bad for junior doctors, and bad for the NHS.”

The statement came after the Department of Health for England announced that it would impose a new contract for junior doctors in England in August 2016, for both new starters and new appointees. Last month the BMA Junior Doctors Committee said that it would not re-enter negotiations with NHS Employers over a new contract.1 …
Complex Adaptive Team Systems (CATS): Scaling of a Team Leadership Development Model

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Complex adaptive systems (CAS) have been identified as being hard to comprehend, composed of multiple interacting components acting interdependently with overlapping functions aimed at adapting to external/environmental forces. The current theoretical model utilized the natural functions of teams, viewing teams as a complex adaptive system, to develop the structure of the theory of complex adaptive team systems (CATS). The CATS model was formulated around the components of complexity theory (interactions, nonlinearity, interdependency, heterogeneity, complex systems, emergence, self-organizing, and adaptability) to show its utility across multiple domains (the role of leadership, organizational learning, organizational change, collective cognitive structures, innovation, cross-business-unit collaborations). In theorizing the CATS model, a new level of analysis was implemented, the interactions between agents as a move toward emergence in complex systems. The CATS model ultimately provides a model for organizations/institutions to drive knowledge creation and innovation while operating in today's complexity.
A Vision and Language for Schoolwide Pedagogical Improvement

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Many educators are questioning the current direction being taken in Australian education, particularly when considering that a number of overseas national testing regimes have been abandoned in the light of a plateauing in school achievement (Fullan, 2009; Hargreaves & Shirley, 2009). An Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) (2006) report highlighted that 'reforms have ultimately come up against a wall, or rather a ceiling, beyond which further progress seems impossible' (p. 187). The report also noted that perhaps reform is not enough and that instead schools need to be 'reinvented'.
Nonadiabatic dynamics of polyatomic molecules and ions in strong laser fields

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Ionization and/or fragmentation of large organic molecules in strong laser fields can be quantitatively understood as a transition from adiabatic to nonadiabatic dynamics of the electronic degrees of freedom. Measurements of fragmentation patterns demonstrate regular trends as a function of the size and electronic structure of a molecule. A theoretical model is presented that agrees quantitatively with the measurements for a series of polycyclic aromatic molecules.
Hierophanies: A Hermeneutic Paradigm for Understanding Zionist Ritual

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The paper deals with the Zionist Church movement and its ritual as a context for hierophanies which provide a hermeneutic paradigm. For a better understanding of this premise the paper provides a functional definition of hermeneutics. The paper then goes on to focus on the meaning and interpretation of symbolism in the Zionist Church movement. Attention is paid to the following symbols: water, umoya (spirit), candles, celestial bodies, the Zionist staff, different colours, and communality. The paper suggests that Zionist religious practice derives from the African worldview and the life-centredness of African religiosity. The writer concludes that the symbols which are used in Zionist ritual are a text which cannot be ignored in the process of interpreting and understanding Zionism.
Analysis of Lifelong for Health of Middle-Aged Men by Using Machine Learning Algorithm

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

This study aims to find out important factors related to BMI (Body Mass Index) by using machine learning algorithms. BMI is highly related to the health of middle-aged men, such as various chronic diseases. 71 middle-aged men’s sleep data, step data, and body weight data were collected from a smartwatch device. Then the data divided into 3 groups by person’s height and analyzed by using regression and tree-based machine learning. Moreover, the results were visualized by using explainable AI, SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) to show positive and negative effect of each variable to BMI. In results, the factors have a close relationship with BMI were different in each height group and it shows that considering a method of clustering people into physical characteristics such as height is important to predict an individual’s BMI. Further, through results of this study, it is expected to contribute to a personalized health management for each individual.
Effect of L-carnitine on Growth Performance and Muscle Composition of Cyprinus carpio L. Fed Diets with Different Levels of Protein

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Growth and muscle composition of Cyprinus carpio L. fed diets with three levels of protein (28%, 32% and 36%) supplemented with L carnitine at 0, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 mg/kg were investigated. In each level of protein, the final body weights were biggest for fish when the diets were supplemented with 150?mg/kg of L carnitine. L carnitine significantly stimulated the growth of fish fed low protein diets. L carnitine supplementation increased the average muscle protein contents by 3.13% and reduced muscle fat content by 11.45% compared with control groups. These results suggest that L carnitine supplementation can improve the growth rate and muscle composition of juvenile common carp at different levels of dietary protein. And the growth rate and muscle composition can be comparable when carp is fed a low protein diet with inclusion of certain levels of L carnitine with when carp is fed a high protein diet.

Gloucester Beach

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Syracuse (Sarausa), the capital of the province of Syracuse, located in the southeastern region of the Island of Sicily in southern Italy, right by the Gulf of Syracuse, facing the Ionian Sea, is a historic city notable for its rich Greek history and culture, being a major city-state of the Magna Graecia. Located at the Neapoli Archaeological Park, where most of the Classic Greek and Roman monuments are found, an artificial grotto in the shape of a colossal ear auricle excavated in the 6th century BC or later, is situated. Surrounded by lush vegetation, the grotto is approximately 70 meters long and 23 meters high. Circa 1608, the famous Italian artist Caravaggio nicknamed the grotto, calling it the Ear of Dionysus, and the name stuck since. Since the nearby limestone quarries were used as prison compounds in Greek Times, a legend was born that this grotto was also utilized as a prison by Dionysus, the Tyrant of Syracuse, who used to eavesdrop to the prisoners' conversations due to the exceptional resonance and sound amplification attributed to the grotto due to its particular shape.
Dexa ile karşılaştırıldığında üç farklı yöntemle değerlendiren vücut kompozisyonundaki doğruluk

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The purpose of this study was to investigate differences among the percent body fat (%BF) values of Turkish sedentary male and female university students measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), skinfold (SKF), ultrasound (US) and hand to hand bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Two hundred eight Turkish university students (one hundred four males and one hundred four females) aged between 18 to 26 years old participants participated in this study voluntarily. %BF assessment was performed by the SKF, US, BIA and DEXA methods. Differences among DEXA, SKF, US and BIA were examined by applying a series of paired-t test. Multiple regression analyses were conducted to developed regression equations to predict %BF from SKF and US measurements. Results demonstrated that there were significant differences between DEXA and SKF, US, and BIA measurements for males and females. The mean %BF derived from DEXA was significantly (p<.001) greater than those of SKF, US and BIA for males and females. Multiple regression analyses showed that SKF and US measurement of subcutaneous fat at three-sites gave the best prediction to %BF for male and female separately. The multiple correlations using three sites simultaneously for men and women were r=0.92, SEE=2.4 and r=0.91, SEE=2.8 for SKF and r=0.93, SEE=2.3 and r=0.90, SEE=3.0 for US, respectively. In summary, with the new regression equation US appears to be a reliable, portable, and non-invasive tool which can be used by any field investigator on obese or thin individuals. Finally, new regression equations developed do not seem to be superior to those reported using calipers.
Pulse oximeter for breathing signal analysis

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Pulse oximeter has serves its purpose not only in the hospitals and clinics, but it is increasingly being used at home for self-checking as well. This is because pulse oximeter uses non-invasive technique to measure; it is compact, cheap, and easy to use. This project describes the collection and analysis of photoplethysmography (PPG) signal via the pulse plethysmography circuit amplifier. The circuit simply uses a finger probe to collect the PPG signal, which will be processed and digitized by the NI DAQ to LabVIEW and subsequently MATLAB for analysis. As several data parameters can be obtained from the PPG signal, occurrence of sleep apnea can be determined by comparing and observing the differences between a normal subject and subject with sleep apnea. The detection of sleep apnea from the signals is investigated using time-domain means, which is often used, and together with frequency-domain method for an improved and more accurate version
Ultrasound in Infertility

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT Evaluation of the complete cycle instead of only pre hCG scan is an essential for follicular monitoring. Using color Doppler in this assessment is mandatory because it allows to assess the functional status of follicle and endometrium. 3D ultrasound is useful for volume measurements, and 3D PD for assessment of global vascularity. Baseline scan is done to predict the ovarian reserve and response and decide the stimulation protocols for ARTs. Uterus is assessed for receptivity. But baseline scan also diagnoses PCOS. This is by counting antral follicles, stromal flows and stromal and ovarian volume. Ultrasound features of ovary on baseline scan can also be correlated closely with the baseline hormonal status of ovaries—LH, FSH and Androgen. Ultrasound is a key tool to decide follicular maturity and endometrial receptivity and to decide the time of hCG and time of IUI. Doppler plays a major role in correct decision making and 3D and 3D power Doppler add to the details and also improves the success rates of different ARTs. Luteal phase also can be better explained by the use of Doppler. Ultrasound to hormonal correlation in both preovulatory and luteal phase helps plan the ART for positivity.

EDMS Use in Local E-Government: Extent of Use and Overall Performance Mediated by

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This study analyzes the effects of several post-adoption behaviors (extent of use, routinization and infusion) on overall performance in using an Electronic Document Management System (EDMS). Furthermore, we test whether the routinization and infusion variables mediate the influence of the extent of use on overall performance. This research collects data from a survey answered by 2,175 employees (EDMS users) of Portuguese municipalities. The Partial Least Squares technique is applied to test the model. The results showed that routinization is directly predicted by the extent of use, whereas infusion is directly affected by the extent of use and also by routinization. Consequently, such post-adoptive behaviors are interrelated not only in a sequential process, but also in parallel. In addition, overall performance is directly influenced by routinization and infusion. Finally, an indirect effects analysis shows that routinization and infusion mediate the relationship between extent of use and overall performance.
Phase resetting of circadian peripheral clocks using human and rodent diets in mouse models of type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease

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

The expression rhythms of clock genes, such as Per1, Per2, Bmal1, and Rev-erb α, in mouse peripheral clocks, are entrained by a scheduled feeding paradigm. In terms of food composition, a carbohydrate-containing diet is reported to cause strong entrainment through insulin secretion. However, it is unknown whether human diets entrain peripheral circadian clocks. In this study, we used freeze-dried diets for type 2 diabetes (DB) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), as well as low-carbohydrate diets. After 24 h of fasting, PER2::LUC knock-in mice were given access to food for 2 days during inactive periods, and bioluminescence rhythm was then measured using an in vivo imaging system. AIN-93M, the control mouse diet with a protein:fat:carbohydrate (PFC) ratio of 14.7:9.5:75.8, caused a significant phase advance (7.3 h) in the liver clock compared with that in 24 h fasted mice, whereas human diets caused significant but smaller phase advances (4.7–6.2 h). Compared with healthy and high fat/sucrose-induced DB mice, adenine-induced CKD mice showed attenuation of a phase-advance with a normal diet. There were no significant differences in phase-advance values between human diets (normal, DB, and CKD). In addition, a normal-carbohydrate diet (PFC ratio of 20.3:23.3:56.4) and a low-carbohydrate diet (PFC ratio of 36.4:42.9:20.7) caused similar phase advances in peripheral clocks. The present results strongly suggest that scheduled feeding with human diets can cause phase advances in the peripheral clocks of not only healthy, but also DB and CKD mice. This discovery provides support to the food-induced entrainment of peripheral clocks in human clinical trials.
A ROLE FOR FERAL MAMMALS IN CONSERVING THE GENETIC DIVERSITY OF LIVESTOCK

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

SUMMARY The rationale for conserving breeds of livestock may be extended to free-living populations which are descended from domestic stock (= feral). An important management difference is that feral animals are not maintained as fixed breeds, but are free to vary and adapt. Many feral populations are pests, and threaten the status of native flora and fauna. This means that they continue to diminish as a result of control operations. Nevertheless, some populations and herds of goats, cattle, horses, sheep and pigs have now been protected. Positive values of commercial and scientific Interest are emerging as animals of feral extraction are studied. Further work is needed to assess the contribution that feral animals can make to the cause of conserving genetic diversity in the world's livestock.
Trade Integration in Turbulent Times

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The WTO has been going through an existential crisis, from which it is like that it will not exit unscathed. If it is to remain an organization of universal membership, it will have to content itself to shallow integration. Its continuing policy relevance, will largely depend on the choices it will make about the nature of its own integration process. The good news is that no one can simply walk away from globalization. The downside (for the WTO) is that globalization is being increasingly administered through bilateral contracts.
Mucin synthesis. The action of pig gastric mucosal UDP-GlcNAc:Galβ1-3(R1)GalNAc-R2 (GlcNAc to Gal) β3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase on high molecular weight Substrates

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

Membrane preparations from pig gastric mucosa were shown to transfer [ 14 C]GlcNAc from UDP-[ 14 C]GlcNAc to blood group A-negative porcine submaxillary mucin previously subjected to mild acid hydrolysis to remove terminal sialyl and fucosyl residues. O-Glycosyl oligosaccharides were removed from enzyme product by alkaline borohydride treatment and, after purification, were subjected to high resolution proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and methylation analysis. Two trisaccharide products were detected: [ 14 C]GlcNAcβ1-3Galβ1-3GalNAcOH and Galβ1-3([ 14 C]GlcNAcβ1-6)GalNAcOH. We have previously reported the in vitro synthesis of the latter compound, a branched trisaccharide, by UDP-GlcNAc:Galβ1-3GalNAc-R (GlcNAc to GalNAc) β6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase from canine submaxillary glands. However, this is the first report of the in vitro synthesis of the linear trisaccharide GlcNAcβ1-3Galβ1-3GalNAc. Pig gastric mucosal β3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase catalyzed the formation of this trisaccharide by incorporation of GlcNAc into the terminal Gal of Galβ1-3GalNAc-α-R when R was a polypeptide from either mucin or antifreeze glycoprotein, but not when R was o-nitrophenyl. We have previously reported the in vitro synthesis by pig gastric mucosa of the tetrasaccharide GlcNAcβ1-3Galβ1-3(GlcNAcβ1-6)GalNAc-α-R when R was o-nitrophenyl or benzyl. We show in this report that pig gastric mucosa can synthesize this tetrasaccharide in vitro when R is a polypeptide from either porcine submaxillary mucin or antifreeze glycoprotein. Pig gastric mucosa therefore contains a β6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase capable of converting Galβ1-3GalNAc-α-R to Galβ1-3(GlcNAcβ1-6)GalNAc-α-R and one or more β3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferases which can add GlcNAc in β1-3 linkage to a terminal Gal residue to form either GlcNAcβ1-3Galβ1-3GalNAc-α-R or GlcNAcβ1-3Galβ1-3(GlcNAcβ1-6)GalNAc-α-R where R is the polypeptide backbone of either mucin or antifreeze glycoprotein.
Abstract 14285: Comparison of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention-Related Adverse Cardiac Outcomes in Patients With In-Stent versus De Novo Chronic Total Occlusion: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Contemporary literature reveals a range of cardiac complications in patients who receive the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusion (CTO). Hypothesis: This study compared the adverse cardiac outcomes and procedural/technical success rates between the patients groups of in-stent (IS) CTO PCI and de novo CTO PCI. Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis compared odds for primary (all-cause mortality, MACE, cardiac death post PCI, stroke) and secondary (bleeding requiring blood transfusion, ischemia-driven target-vessel revascularization, PCI procedural success, PCI technical success, and target-vessel MI) endpoints between 2,734 patients who received PCI for IS CTO and 17,808 for de novo CTO. Odds ratios for outcome variables were calculated within 95% confidence intervals (CIs) via the Mantel-Haenszel method. The pooled analysis was undertaken for observational (retrospective/prospective) single- and multi-centered studies published between January 2005 and December 2021. Results: We found 57% higher, 166% higher, 129% higher, and 57% lower odds for MACE (OR: 1.57, 95% CI 1.31, 1.89, p <0.001), ischemia-driven target-vessel revascularization (OR: 2.66, 95% CI 2.01, 3.53, p <0.001), target-vessel myocardial infarction (MI) (OR: 2.29, 95% CI 1.70, 3.10, p <0.001), and bleeding requiring blood transfusion (OR: 0.43, 95% CI 0.19, 1.00, p = 0.05), respectively, in patients with IS CTO PCI as compared to that of the de novo CTO PCI. No statistically significant differences between the study groups were recorded for the other primary/secondary outcome variables. Conclusions: The findings from this study indicated a high predisposition for MACE, ischemia-driven target-vessel revascularization, target vessel MI, and a lower incidence of bleeding episodes among IS CTO PCI patients as compared to those with de novo CTO PCI. The prognostic outcomes in CTO PCI cases require further investigation with randomized controlled trials.
