Allied health management of technology‐related musculoskeletal complaints among children and adolescents

Background/aim Children and adolescents are prolific users of information and communication technologies ( ICT ) in learning, leisure, and social communication activities. High exposure to ICT is associated with musculoskeletal injuries in adults; however, the management of ICT physical complaints in children is not well‐understood. Methods An online survey of allied health professionals (occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and chiropractors) was undertaken to determine (i) the number of children and adolescents in Perth, Western Australia who accessed treatment for musculoskeletal complaints related to use of technology; (ii) the typical frequency and duration of service provision; and (iii) the nature of treatment provided. Costs associated with service provision were estimated. Results Data from 101 identified the most commonly treated musculoskeletal complaints among children and adolescents included: non‐specific neck pain; thoracic postural pain disorder; non‐specific low back pain; and lumbar postural pain disorder. Approximately 1445 children were treated in the previous 12 months; with one‐third of chiropractors each reported treating 31+ children. Most common treatments were soft tissue release, mobilisation, flexibility and conditioning exercises, soft tissue massage and kinesio‐taping. Verbal education about healthy use of technology was provided by most clinicians (88%), with some inconsistent recommendations. The estimated cost of treatment was AUD $1,057,715; of which AUD $544,886 was health system funded. Conclusions Children and adolescents received allied health treatment for a range of musculoskeletal complaints associated with ICT use. The potential long‐term impacts on their health and wellbeing, and the economic burden associated with this health issue warrant the development of systematic risk reduction strategies.

Chemotaxonomy of <i>Aster</i> species from the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau based on metabolomics

Abstract Introduction The genus Aster plants have been widely used for thousands of years in the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau for the clearing of heat, detoxification, and the treatment of seasonal pandemic diseases. Although the presence of several flavonoid compounds in Aster has been reported by previous studies, the diversity of secondary metabolites within and among species is relatively unknown. Objective The metabolite profile of one Aster species was systematically compared with those of other taxa to find potential chemotaxonomic markers, delimit species, and assess chemodiversity. Method Samples of the above‐ground parts of 11 Aster species were collected and their metabolites were analysed by ultra‐high performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection and quadrupole time‐of‐flight tandem mass spectrometry. Unsupervised principal component analysis, supervised orthogonal partial least‐squares discriminant analysis, heatmap analysis, and hierarchical cluster analysis were employed to analyse 95 representative samples from 11 Aster species and determine species‐specific chemical markers based on a metabolomics database. Results Six phenolic acids and flavonoids were detected and quantified in all Aster species, suggesting that these compounds may be common constituents in the Aster genus. Metabolite analysis showed terpenoid compounds to be potential chemical markers for interspecies differentiation. Ent‐ kaurane‐type diterpenoid glycosides were the main class of compounds in all Aster species except for A. farreri , which mainly contained oleanane‐type pentacyclic triterpenoids. Diterpenoid glycosides were low‐content chemotaxonomic markers and were detected for the first time in Aster species from the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau. Conclusion Chemotaxonomy and metabolomics were used to support the phylogenic relationships of the Aster genus.

OpenCV image stitching analysis

Computer vision software has been widely used in the area of Photography creating an amazing effect. One of the tools that has been developed and widely used in the digital camera is the panoramic image, where multiple images are “stitched” together. In this project, the analysis was carried out on the open source library OpenCV and two of its feature detectors ORB and AKAZE. Three programs were built or updated from the old version of OpenCV to the newer version to carry out the experiments. One is the ABS-DIFF program which calculated the absolute difference between two images. The program is used to measure the difference between the original image and the “stitch” image. The second draw matches program was also developed to highlight the “matched” points when we stitch two images together. This program helps us to understand the stitching software better as it shows the matching points of the reference and target image side by side. The third program is an image stitcher which was modified and updated from an old version to verify the stitching process and runtime. A number of experiments were carried out to compare ORB and AKAZE. It is concluded that ORB has a better performance in terms of computation time requirement and AKAZE has better performance in the cumulative absolute difference value.

The European Monetary Union nominal convergence and real sectoral volatility

The European Monetary Union (EMU) requires member economies follow similar business cycles. In 1992, the Maastricht Treaty (MT) created numerical targets for EMU member inflation, government bond yields, government debt and government deficits designed to facilitate member economy nominal convergence. Nominal convergence is purported to facilitate convergence in the real economy so that member economies respond to shocks in a similar way. The European Sovereign Debt Crisis (ESDC) of 2010-12 was the first assessment of real business cycle synchronisation, or symmetric shock response, in the EMU since the Euro was adopted in 1999. Economies experienced marked volatility over this period, which is associated with a welfare loss. This study investigates three research questions over the sample period 1999 to 2013. Firstly, has the nominal convergence process impacted sectoral real volatility? secondly, has nominal convergence occurred? and thirdly, has real convergence occurred? The first question was approached using regression analysis. This study finds that changes in bond yields have a negative relationship with volatility in the Construction sector and the total economy. There is also a negative relationship between public deficits and Construction sector volatility. Next, using methodology developed by Marshall (1990) which jointly considers time and cross-sectional dimensions, the underlying trend in the variables were estimated, crucially accounting for the correlation between units in cross- sectional time series data that is inherently characteristic of a currency area such as the EMU. The “stochastic cycle” was then recovered from this estimated stochastic trend. Absolute convergence was assessed using cointegration tests developed by Engle and Granger (1987)on the trend and its stochastic cycle for each variable. There is evidence of absolute convergence in the cyclical component of inflation over 1999 to 2013 whereas there is no evidence of real absolute convergence; that is, convergence in real volatility. This suggests that the transmission of nominal to real convergence is weak over the sample period. The joint consideration of time and cross-sectional dimensions inherent in the method developed by Marshall (1990)provides efficiency gains, even despite the short time dimension of 15 years, relative to a univariate analysis (Marshall, 1990).

сисOptimization of the state information policy of Ukraine in the conditions of contemporary modernization processes

The article discusses the different concepts of the State information policy, its purpose and content. Notes that existing concepts, strategies, etc. in information sphere are unfortunately still fragmented (focused above all on the creation of scientific-technical and technological base of the transition to the information society, in particular through the development of information and communication infrastructure and advanced information technologies) and the lack of systematic integrity of regulatory documents. According to this, in all of greater relevance is the question of development and approval of Unified Code of public documents regarding the management sphere. The strategic weight of today become the issue of legislative regulation of various aspects of its development of information-communicative sphere of Ukraine, in accordance with international practice, where already successfully tested the relevant legislative technology of solving them, not only by the approval of amendments to existing laws or the development of new, and by codification – the development and adoption Of Code of Ukraine. However, still conceptual appropriateness of adopting an information code in Ukraine has not found adequate technological support, that negatively affects the development of information-communicative System State. Today in Ukraine is a strategic document that at the national level to govern the main priorities, directions, principles, principles and ways of realization of the State policy on implementing its information and communication functions. Moreover the communicative component state is not clearly separated from the information, and therefore does not have the proper conceptual, technological and functional software, also destablzacjno affects the livelihoods of its public sector.

Structural Symmetry and Optical Properties of Dielectric Multilayers

We have investigated the structural symmetry and optical properties of the dielectric multilayers. By using the transfer-matrix method, the propagation of electromagnetic wave in the dielectric multilayer film is obtained. It is shown that if a mirror symmetry is induced to the structure, perfect transmissions will definitely happen. And the perfect transmission can be controlled at certain wavelengths if the special structure with symmetry is achieved. Experimental observations are in good agreement with the theoretical predictions. This finding will have potential applications to optoelectric devices, such as the wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) system.

Structural anthropometric measurement of Atlantic offshore workers

This study provides information on structural dimensions of offshore workers with and without a helicopter passenger suit. Forty-one structural measures, with and without a helicopter passenger suit, were obtained from 42 subjects (38 M, 4 F). The structural dimensions of the subjects demonstrate an increase with suit, circumferences increased by as much as 246 mm, vertical measures (stature) increased by 14 mm to 41 mm, and horizontal measures (breaths) increased by 15 mm to 37 mm. The difference (suit vs. no suit) in waist circumference is less for a larger subject compared to a smaller subject indicating suit sizes need further consideration.

Effect of (1→3)(1→6)-Β-Glucan Containing PLGA Scaffold on Human Dermal Fibroblast Attachment and Proliferation

The effect of β-glucan-reinforced PLGA scaffold on cell proliferation was investigated. The PLGA scaffolds were prepared by salt-leaching method. The prepared scaffolds were grafted with (1→3) (1→6)-β-glucan in various ratios after plasma treatment on the surface. The surface of the scaffold was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The HDFs (Human dermal fibroblasts, 1105 cells/scaffold) were used to evaluate the cell proliferation on PLGA scaffold before and after plasma/β-glucan treatment. In results, in the β-glucan treated scaffolds, the pores seemed to become narrower and even looked like closed form. The result of cell proliferation showed that the plasma/β-glucan treated scaffolds had narrower pores because the β-glucan was attached in the pores that would not be allowed the cells to penetrate into the inner areas. Consequently, cell proliferation was not effective in the plasma/β-glucan treated scaffolds in this study.

Cytogenetic analysis of choriocarcinoma cell lines.

Five permanent cell lines were established in vitro from patients with gestational choriocarcinoma. Chromosome study with Q-band technique showed a modal chromosome number per cell in the hypotetraploid range in all cell lines. There were unidentifiable, structurally altered chromosomes in each cell line. BeWo cell line from choriocarcinoma following delivery of a normal male baby lost identifiable Y chromosome, whereas Jar cell line following delivery of a normal male did have a Y chromosome. One of the two cell lines following complete hydatidiform mole had a Y chromosome. The significance of this finding is discussed.

MODEL FOR CALCULATING THE LEVEL OF CYBER SECURITY OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE FACILITIES

The growing number of cyberattacks on critical infrastructure facilities in Ukraine is a steady trend that necessitates systematic improvement of approaches to cybersecurity. The issue of improving the security of information and communication systems and information resources of critical information infrastructure facilities is of particular relevance. Despite the existence of certain mechanisms in Ukrainian legislation for assessing the state of cybersecurity of such facilities, their practical implementation remains difficult and resource-intensive. In many cases, critical infrastructure owners and operators do not have sufficient capacity to effectively implement the established requirements, which necessitates the development of more accessible and adaptive assessment models. At the current stage in Ukraine, the process of identification and protection of critical infrastructure is at an initial level, which creates risks for national security and the functioning of important social systems. The article proposes a model for calculating the level of cybersecurity of critical information infrastructure facilities, which provides for the possibility of expanding the system of characteristics by applying a set-theoretic approach. The formalization of subsets of criteria (classes of cybersecurity measures) and the corresponding system of parameters is carried out, which allows for a quantitative assessment of the level of security of the object. The proposed model has the potential for practical use as a tool for monitoring and improving the effectiveness of cybersecurity measures. In further research, it is planned to use the proposed model to develop a method for improving the level of cybersecurity.

Partial Prior Information and Decisionmaking

In a desionmaking situation if prior information is vague, indecision may result. A model for partial prior information is established and from this arises the notion of a set of feasible decisions. The existence of more than one feasible decision represents the existence of indecision. In many practical situations the partial prior information may be given by linear inequalities on the prior probabilities in which case there is a computationally attractive method for determining the set of feasible decisions.

Smith, Alex G. ; Lebo, G. R. ; Six, N. F., Jr. ; Carr, T. D. ; Bollhagen, Heins ; May, Jorge ; Levy, Jorge Abstract A final reduction has been made of extensive observations of Jupiter conducted during 1961 and 1962 in the radio-frequency range 5-31 Mc/s. Both probability-of-emission and intensity studies have been made of the several decametric "sources." It appears that a change in the apparent rate of rotation of the sources occurred in 1960. Both the over-all Jovian activity and the apparent widths of the sources have increased as the solar cycle declined, although the gross source geometry remains much the same as in previous years. Television techniques have been used in a search for optical activity correlated with the Jovian outbursts. Venus and Mars have shown no detectable decametric activity, while Saturn remains, as before, a dubious source.

death-dying-and-end-of-life-care-in-the-us-and-the-netherlands-a-scoping-review

Introduction: The aim of End of Life (EOL)-care in any setting is to improve the quality of life of patients and families through medical or non-medical interventions. The study aims at identifying gaps in the literature produced on the topic and informs areas for future research in the field.\n\nObjective: To identify articles that discuss death and dying, with the elderly &gt; = 70, living at home, or in nursing homes, in assisted living, or community centres, in hospice or palliative care, in hospitals or emergency care.\n\nMethods: A scoping review of studies in the U. S. and in the Netherlands. Using the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the selected studies were analysed and categorized by themes, and then summarized based on positive, negative and ambiguous views on death discussions at all four (4) levels of discussion.\nResults: From a total of one hundred and fifty-nine studies, twenty-five studies passed the selection criteria. Twenty-one were for the U. S., and four were for the Netherlands. The selected studies were analysed and categorized by themes.\n\nConclusion: The review pointed to a dearth of material that measured the outcome of discussions on the subject of death and dying with the elderly. Future studies could consider discussions on death and dying from the perspective of patients’ anxiety and distress, instead of concerns over financial support, religious and ethnic issues, ethical and legal parameters, and extra medical training.

Vapor-Phase γ-Radiolysis of Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, and the Xylenes

Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and the three xylenes have been irradiated in the vapor phase with gamma rays. Products and yields have been compared with those in liquid-phase radiolysis. G values for disappearance in the vapor phase range from 6 to 10, more than five times greater than in the liquid phase. The principal product in each case is "polymer." All of the identified products are also found in the liquid phase, but relative yields are markedly different. The high yields of acetylene and some other products in the vapor phase suggest that ionic processes are more important here than in the liquid phase.

Low overhead anonymous routing

Privacy is one of the main concerns for Internet users. In many situations, users would like to conceal their identities when accessing the Internet. Some would want to hide their identities when accessing specific services, and others may even want to be anonymous to other hosts they are communicating with. Anonymity is sometimes a must for applications like electronic voting, and in other situations it is optional such as the case of Web browsing. Moreover, hiding the identities of communicating parties helps alleviate problems related to traffic analysis. In this paper, we propose two anonymity models to ensure the privacy of communicating parties and to protect the sender address during the routing process and hence render such sender unidentifiable and untraceable. The results analyses show that our models have anti-spoofing capability and high anonymity degree even when some nodes on the path are compromised. In the first proposed model, the request and the reply can be linked, however, in the second model they cannot be linked at an additional overhead cost. The measurements showed that the additional incurred delay on each collaborative router varies between 1.35 and 3.3 ms, and hence the end-to-end delay is negligible for typical Internet paths.
