Exploring the Dynamics of Canine-Assisted Interactions: A Wearable Approach to Understanding Interspecies Well-Being

Canine-assisted interactions (CAIs) have been explored to offer therapeutic benefits to human participants in various contexts, from addressing cancer-related fatigue to treating post-traumatic stress disorder. Despite their widespread adoption, there are still unresolved questions regarding the outcomes for both humans and animals involved in these interactions. Previous attempts to address these questions have suffered from core methodological weaknesses, especially due to absence of tools for an efficient objective evaluation and lack of focus on the canine perspective. In this article, we present a first-of-its-kind system and study to collect simultaneous and continuous physiological data from both of the CAI interactants. Motivated by our extensive field reviews and stakeholder feedback, this comprehensive wearable system is composed of custom-designed and commercially available sensor devices. We performed a repeated-measures pilot study, to combine data collected via this system with a novel dyadic behavioral coding method and short- and long-term surveys. We evaluated these multimodal data streams independently, and we further correlated the psychological, physiological, and behavioral metrics to better elucidate the outcomes and dynamics of CAIs. Confirming previous field results, human electrodermal activity is the measure most strongly distinguished between the dyads’ non-interaction and interaction periods. Valence, arousal, and the positive affect of the human participant significantly increased during interaction with the canine participant. Also, we observed in our pilot study that (a) the canine heart rate was more dynamic than the human’s during interactions, (b) the surveys proved to be the best indicator of the subjects’ affective state, and (c) the behavior coding approaches best tracked the bond quality between the interacting dyads. Notably, we found that most of the interaction sessions were characterized by extended neutral periods with some positive and negative peaks, where the bonded pairs might display decreased behavioral synchrony. We also present three new representations of the internal and overall dynamics of CAIs for adoption by the broader field. Lastly, this paper discusses ongoing options for further dyadic analysis, interspecies emotion prediction, integration of contextually relevant environmental data, and standardization of human–animal interaction equipment and analytical approaches. Altogether, this work takes a significant step forward on a promising path to our better understanding of how CAIs improve well-being and how interspecies psychophysiological states can be appropriately measured.

Effect of bilateral carotid occlusion on cerebral hemodynamics and perivascular innervation: An experimental rat model

Abstract We aimed to investigate the effect of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion on cerebral hemodynamics and perivascular nerve density in a rat model. Bilateral common carotid artery (CCA) ligation ( n = 24) or sham‐operation ( n = 24) was performed with a 1‐week interval. A subgroup (ligated n = 6; sham‐operated n = 3) underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before the procedures and 2 and 4 weeks after the second procedure. After termination, carotids were harvested for assessment of complete ligation and nerve density in cerebral arteries that were stained for the general neural marker PGP 9.5 and sympathetic marker TH by computerized image analysis. Five rats were excluded because of incomplete ligation. MRI‐based tortuosity of the posterior communicating artery (Pcom), first part of the posterior cerebral artery (P1) and basilar artery was observed in the ligated group, as well as an increased volume ( p = 0.05) and relative signal intensity in the basilar artery ( p = 0.04; sham‐group unchanged). Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that compared to sham‐operated rats, ligated rats had increased diameters of all intracircular segments and the extracircular part of the internal carotid artery ( p &lt; 0.05). Ligated rats showed a higher general nerve density compared to controls in P1 (10%, IQR:8.7–10.5 vs. 6.6%, IQR:5.5–7.4, p = 0.003) and Pcom segments (6.4%, IQR:5.8–6.5 vs. 3.2%, IQR:2.4–4.3, p = 0.003) and higher sympathetic nerve density in Pcom segments (3.7%, IQR:2.8–4.8 vs. 1.7%, IQR:1.3–2.2, p = 0.02). Bilateral CCA occlusion resulted in redistribution of blood flow to posteriorly located cerebral arteries with remarkable changes in morphology and perivascular nerve density, suggesting a functional role for perivascular nerves in cerebral autoregulation.

EFFECT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON MUNGBEAN GROWTH AND PRODUCTIVITY UNDER EGYPTIAN CONDITIONS

In order tostudy the proper heat regime as one of the most important factors for climatechange, seeds of mungbean Kawmy-1 variety were exposed to variable extremewaves of temperatures (minimum - maximum oC ) through sowing the seeds on sixplanting dates, viz: D1 (15 - 22 oC),D2 (18 - 26 oC), D3 (22 - 32 oC), D4 (28 - 38 oC), D5 (27 - 37 oC) and D6 (15 - 22 oC). Mungbean planted in the heat regimes of (18- 26 oC), (22 - 36 oC) and (28 - 38 oC) could complete their life cycle andproduced reasonable yield. Other heat regimes seem to be unfavorable formungbean since either the seeds did not germinate (15 - 22 oC) or the growth was retarded and in turnno yield was obtained (15 - 22 oC).Mungbean plant sown in the heat regime of (22 - 32 oC) matured earlier, being taller, producinggreater number of leaves and branches with heavier weight than that in theother heat regimes. The reduction in minimum temperature by one degree causedreductions in total dry matter plant-1 by 13 and 6% while increasingminimum temperature over the optimum sowing temperature by one degree causedreductions in total dry matter plant-1 by 12.4 and 19.6%. Thereduction in minimum temperature by one degree in D2 (18 - 26 oC) caused reduction in seed yield ha-1by 10.3 and 9.6% per plant and per hectare, respectively. While the reductionin maximum temperature by one degree in D2 (18 - 26 oC) caused reduction in seed yield ha-1by 6.9 and 6.3 % per plant and per hectare, respectively. Meanwhile, increasingminimum and maximum temperatures by one degree in D4 (28 - 38 oC) caused reduction in seed yield ha-1by 10.2 and 9.8% per plant and per hectare, respectively. It could be concludedfrom this study that heat regime is crucial for mungbean planting in Egypt.Mungbean proved to be very sensitive to fluctuations in minimum and maximumtemperatures. The most favorable heat regime for mungbean production in Egypt isheat regime of (22 - 32 oC).

Analisis Pengaruh Penggunaan CDI Racing terhadap Performa Sepeda Motor Matic 115 cc

Replacing a standard CDI with a racing CDI is one way to improve ignition in a motorcycle engine and is expected to produce more complete combustion in the combustion chamber. The treatment in this study is the different types of CDIs used on motorcycles. The results show that the effect of CDI replacement on the power produced is a significant difference in power on standard CDI at RPM 5000 which is 5.7 HP while on CDI Rextor at RPM 8000 it is 7.3 HP. The significant difference in torque at RPM 1500 is 18.58 Nm while the CDI Rextor at RPM 2000 is 19.6 Nm. The power and torque produced by CDI Rextor are higher than the standard CDI. The amount of ignition produced by CDI Rextor greatly affects the size of the power and torque produced on the bicycle and the combustion pressure force will be maximized.

Environmental technology demonstrations at US DOE facilities: Observations regarding the current process and methods for improvement

Technology demonstrations to evaluate innovative processes prior to full-scale implementation is an important element in the overall US Department of Energy (DOE) strategy for the remediation of contaminated sites and/or the treatment of wastes. These demonstrations provide the opportunity to evaluate and compare multiple technologies on a side-by-side basis in order to choose the process that meets the treatment goals most effectively and economically. Technology demonstrations performed at DOE sites entail working under a unique set of constraints that are not typically encountered in the private sector. Not only do the contractors have to meet all applicable federal, state, and local requirements, but also they have the additional constraints of meeting all DOE Orders and specific and sometimes unique site requirements and interfaces. This paper will discuss the past demonstration experience of the authors and provide insight on how researchers and contractors may conduct demonstrations at a DOE facility.

Freedom, the good, and the metaphysics of morals: A critical assessment of phenomenological realism

This dissertation, shall explore—from a Thomistic perspective—phenomenological realism's interpretation of personal freedom and its proprietary speculation about the divergent paths that freedom takes in its encounter with the “good” (or, what phenomenological realism refers to as the category of “important”). Despite a mutual agreement on so many issues, phenomenological realism appears to be at odds with Thomism on certain epistemological, metaphysical, and ethical points, but particularly over issues surrounding Thomism's explicit equation of the “good” with the “appetible” or the “satisfying.” This paper will utilize the large body of Thomistic thought as the basis for a critical (but sympathetic) analysis of these areas where phenomenological realism's thought patterns diverge from Aquinas's way of thinking. Even though this critique will focus mainly on phenomenological realism's antagonism toward Aquinas's identification of the “good” with the “appetible,” other key positions taken by phenomenological realism will be critiqued as well. For instance, there is ostensible disagreement between the two schools concerning the importance of natural (usually corporeal) inclinations, the status of the moral agent's intention to satisfy himself in both ethical and epistemological situations, and the ways in which phenomenological realism's allegedly “normative” depictions of value response are, perhaps, overly prescriptive. The purpose behind this critique of certain positions taken by phenomenological realism is, first, to illuminate some conceivable deficiencies in phenomenological realism's approach and, second, to illustrate that a definite (but relatively subtle) symmetry of thought exists here even in spite of some obvious disagreements. An attempt will be made to describe these areas of symmetry and partial agreement in a way that is intuitively transparent, one that will enable the unaccustomed reader to see through the sometimes idiosyncratic terminologies to the common objective realities that these schools are presumably explaining. This attempt to find agreement on certain issues is designed to appeal to common sense even as it strives to strike a balance between the noble ideals which phenomenological realism will propose and the down-to-earth accounting of the human experience that is typical of Thomistic thought.

A Deterministic Almost-Linear Time Algorithm for Minimum-Cost Flow

We give a deterministic $m^{1+o(1)}$ time algorithm that computes exact maximum flows and minimum-cost flows on directed graphs with $m$ edges and polynomially bounded integral demands, costs, and capacities. As a consequence, we obtain the first running time improvement for deterministic algorithms that compute maximum-flow in graphs with polynomial bounded capacities since the work of Goldberg-Rao [J.ACM '98]. Our algorithm builds on the framework of Chen-Kyng-Liu-Peng-Gutenberg-Sachdeva [FOCS '22] that computes an optimal flow by computing a sequence of $m^{1+o(1)}$-approximate undirected minimum-ratio cycles. We develop a deterministic dynamic graph data-structure to compute such a sequence of minimum-ratio cycles in an amortized $m^{o(1)}$ time per edge update. Our key technical contributions are deterministic analogues of the vertex sparsification and edge sparsification components of the data-structure from Chen et al. For the vertex sparsification component, we give a method to avoid the randomness in Chen et al. which involved sampling random trees to recurse on. For the edge sparsification component, we design a deterministic algorithm that maintains an embedding of a dynamic graph into a sparse spanner. We also show how our dynamic spanner can be applied to give a deterministic data structure that maintains a fully dynamic low-stretch spanning tree on graphs with polynomially bounded edge lengths, with subpolynomial average stretch and subpolynomial amortized time per edge update.

INFORME DE UN CASO: QUISTE PARASITARIO MESENTÉRICO SUMADO A INSUFICIENCIA RENAL CRÓNICA SECUNDARIO A LUPUS ERITEMATOSO SISTÉMICO EN ADOLESCENTE.

Introduction Mesenteric cysts are abdominal tumors with a low incidence, the clinical presentation depends on the location and size of the cyst, the recommended treatment is surgical resolution. In next pages. Case description We present the case of a 17-year-old female adolescent with no significant personal pathological history, who initially presented nausea and incoercible vomiting, accompanied by fever and abdominal pain of 5 days of evolution, which caused moderate dehydration and consequently acute kidney injury and later chronic kidney failure that is aggravated by systemic lupus erythematosus that the patient develops during the clinical course. Concomitantly, the patient presents significant abdominal distention, so it is performed a CT scan (Tomography), which reveals the presence of a mesenteric cyst that displaces intra-abdominal organs, so it is made a reference to general surgery. Patient remains awaiting renal biopsy to determine histopathological classification for underlying autoimmune disease. The patient remains awaiting surgical resolution. Conclusion Mesenteric cyst is a rare entity, surgery is the treatment of choice and the only definitive diagnostic method for mesenteric cysts, the patient remains awaiting surgical resolution.

Talking Suicide

Abstract The present article discusses intimate conversations about suicide that are pursued on the Internet. Computer-mediated communication has made it possible for participants to remain anonymous and, simultaneously, enter into a public space to share personal thoughts about a stigmatized and taboo subject. This has also created new and unique opportunities to study a type of communication that was previously very difficult to access. Most of the participants on the studied forum are teenagers or young adults who communicate based on a need to recognize themselves in others, and to receive acknowledgement for their thoughts, feelings and experiences, thereby gaining acceptance and understanding. However, there are also destructive elements in the form of an exchange of suicide methods and participants exhorting each other to go ahead with their suicide plans. Moreover, participants are able to practise suicide behaviour in a mediated, conversational form, thereby making the act seem less fearful. The participants are furthermore involved in constructing and re-constructing a counter-discourse in which established society’s perceptions and values concerning suicide are questioned, as expressed in a critique against public institutions, mainly psychiatry.

Towards Physically Rendered Environments ; CU-

We present an early vision of a system that allows computer controlled rendering of physical surfaces, terrains, and environments by manipulating grids of “physical pixels” or rods whose heights can be raised and lowered on command. A user would be free to walk within such a dynamically deformable physically rendered environment (PRE). The system would be able to create on demand the floor, ceiling and sides of the “Holodeck” in which the person resides, and vary the slipperiness of the surfaces to provide authentic tactile feedback in real time. Ideally, the system would support discreet relocation while a person walked to create the impression of infinite distance. Such a system could be combined with immersive graphic visualization and futuristic programmable matter to convey realistic impressions of a walking tour of a remote site, the experience of climbing a steep mountain, or navigation through a maze. The potential applications of this system range from entertainment to police and infantry training to education, and extend as far as the imagination allows. We propose mechanisms with which we believe that such a vision could be implemented with the technology of today. This paper is an early work intended to raise interest in this idea, as opposed to presenting a finished solution for achieving the vision of a Holodeck.

The Isolation of Bioactive Substance Controlling the Plant Leaf-Movement of Albizzia julibrissin Durazz

Abstract Nyctinastic leaf-movement of the plant is controlled by a biological clock. The most difficult problem encountered in the chemical studies of nyctinasty, is the isolation of chemical signals controlling this movement. Now, we have established a good procedure for isolation of the chemicals causing leaf-movement. The separation of two inversely bioactive substances, causing leaf-closing and opening movement, by Amberlite XAD-7 chromatography was very effective. Final separation with HPLC using a combination of plural ODS columns enabled us to isolate the highly polar ieaf-closing and -opening substances of Albizzia julibrissin Durazz.

Risk indicators for dystocia in low-risk nulliparous women: A study on lifestyle and anthropometrical factors

We examined background information and course of labour from a cohort of 2,810 low-risk nulliparas to identify possible lifestyle and anthropometrical risk indicators for dystocia. Criteria for dystocia: cervical dilatation <2 cm over 4 h during labour's active phase, or no descent during 2 h (3 h with epidural) in the descending phase, or no progress for 1 h during the expulsive phase. After adjustments, athletics or heavy gardening > or =4 h per week appeared protective for dystocia (OR 0.63, CI 0.45-0.89), contrary to a non-significant finding of intensive physical training (OR 1.57, CI 0.84-2.93). Caffeine intake of 200-299 mg/day was associated with dystocia (OR 1.37, CI 1.04-1.80); also high maternal age (OR 2.25, CI 1.58-3.22), small stature (OR 2.18, CI 1.51-3.15) and pre-pregnancy overweight (OR 1.28, CI 1.02-1.61). No association was found between dystocia and alcohol intake, smoking, night sleep and options for resting during the day.

Mortality of two groups of women who manufactured gas masks from chrysotile and crocidolite asbestos: a 40-year follow-up

ABSTRACT Two groups of women were exposed to asbestos while manufacturing gas masks in Lancashire before and during the second world war. One group (in Blackburn) is believed to have been concerned almost exclusively with the manufacture of civilian respirators (containing chrysotile) while the other (in Leyland) made respirators for the armed Forces (containing crocidolite) and a much smaller number of civilian respirators. Excess mortality ascribed to lung cancer and ovarian cancer were found at the second factory (statistically significant at the 1% level) but not at the first. Mesothelioma was mentioned on the death certificates of five women who had worked in Leyland and one woman in Blackburn.
