Parent perceptions of their child’s and their own physical activity after treatment for childhood cancer

PurposeParents are important facilitators of physical activity for children, yet little is known about the perceptions of parents of childhood cancer survivors. We investigated parent perceptions of their own and their child’s physical activity levels after cancer treatment and examined associations with clinical, demographic, and psychosocial factors.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional survey among 125 parents and 125 survivors. Parents reported on the perceived importance of their child being physically active and concerns regarding exercising after cancer treatment.ResultsParents and survivors self-reported median (range) of 127.5 (0–1260) and 220 (0–1470) min/week of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Most parents (n = 109, 98%) believed that physical activity was highly important for their child. Some parents (n = 19, 17%) reported concerns, most commonly regarding exercise safety (n = 7, 22%). Parents were more likely to perceive that their child should increase physical activity if their child was an adolescent and had high body fat percentage.ConclusionsPhysical activity levels varied widely among survivors, reflecting factors including parents’ lifestyles, limited understanding of exercise benefits and perceptions of risk. Given survivors’ insufficient physical activity levels and sedentary behaviour among families, embedding physical activity promotion into health systems and follow-up support could benefit the entire family unit.

Textile-based weft knit strain sensor: Experimental investigation of the effect of stretching on electrical conductivity and electromagnetic shielding

Recently, the research and development of textile-based sensors have attracted considerable attention. Changes in electrical conductivity (EC) and electromagnetic (EM) shielding effectiveness (SE) during external stimuli are the most frequently studied output. In this study, the EC and EM SE of an electro-conductive 1 × 1 rib knitted fabric made of metal-coated yarn were investigated during uniaxial and biaxial stretching. According to a theoretical survey, 2 main mechanisms are expected to influence the EC of the fabric under mechanical stress: the contact resistance at the junction of two yarns at low levels of applied force and the electrical resistance (ER) of yarn at high stress. Therefore, the electromechanical properties of single, single-loop, and multiloop yarns were also explored to explain the knitted fabric behavior during uniaxial and biaxial stretching. The SE of the knitted fabric varied from 63 to 47 dB based on the type and level of stretching. Using tests with yarns and crocheted chains, we confirmed that the effect of contact points and resistance on the entire ER textile unit prevails at low deformations. Further, the SE increased almost linearly with deformation during wale-wise stretching. The SE results correlate well with the ER values, which reflect the contact and longitudinal resistances of the knitted fabric. The higher the ER, the lower the SE. Notably, the porosity, which changes during stretching, needs to be considered in estimating SE. It was experimentally confirmed that the knit electro-conducite fabric could be used as a wireless strain sensors.

Well Log Interpretation and Petrophysical Modeling to Evaluate Zubair Reservoir in North-Rumaila Oil Field

This study uses well log interpretation and petrophysical modeling, which is one of the most influential tools for the evaluation of Zubair Reservoir in the X Oil Field. Understanding reservoir parameters and boosting output by picking the optimal location for future drilling candidates will be helped by these interpretations and modeling. 3D seismic and well log data were used to create and describe a petrophysical model in this investigation. Each parameter was upscaled when interpreting well logs and calculating petrophysical characteristics. The petrophysical model was created using geostatistical approaches such as Gaussian simulation, variogram, and Monte Carlo simulation. Techlog, Petrel, and HRS Software were used in this study. As a result, we analyzed porosity, shale volume, and water saturation for four wells named A, B, C, and C using a set of commercial software and applying the different well logs like; gamma-ray (gr) log, spontaneous potential log, porosity logs (Density Log, Neutron Log, and Sonic Log), and resistivity log. The range of porosity values is 0.23 to 0.30, the water saturation is around 10% in the crest and 60% in the flank, and Vsh is interbedded with sand and the value is decreasing 25% in the clean sand bed. This formation is characterized by clean sand and is interbedded with a sharp boundary. The sand in the main pay is characterized by homogeneous and uniform porosity patterns. The homogeneous nature of the sand leads to uniform saturation of water to fill this entire sand unit with oil and the absence of a transition zone.

Recursive multiscale homogenization of multiphysics behavior of fuzzy fiber composites reinforced by hollow carbon nanotubes

Fuzzy fibers are fibers enhanced in terms of multiphysics properties with radially oriented carbon nanotubes grown on their surface through the chemical deposition process. For the first time, this paper attempts to present two generalized zeroth-order asymptotic homogenization schemes aimed at identifying the homogenized and local response of fuzzy fiber-reinforced composites, accounting for both multiphysics piezoelectric effect and cylindrically orthotropic material behavior. The unit cell problems are solved using the multiphysics finite-volume and the multiphysics finite-element techniques, respectively. While the former approach is based on the strong form solution of the equilibrium and conservation equations in an averaged sense in the discretized domain, the latter is based on the minimization of the total potential energy over the entire unit cell. A recursive multiscale analysis algorithm is developed wherein homogenized moduli (or local fields) obtained from the homogenization (or localization) analysis at one scale are utilized in the calculation of homogenized moduli (or local fields) at the next scale. Numerical examples indicate that good agreement of the homogenized properties and local field distributions generated by the two approaches is observed hence confirming the accuracy of the new homogenization methods for fuzzy fiber composites with multiphysics behaviors.

MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF THE SURVIVAL OF THE ARTILLERY DIVISION DURING COMBAT

The article deals with the survivability of the artillery unit during the combat operation. The brutality of the artillery unit is regarded as a random process. In our view, this random process is a Markov process that depends on time. Mathematical model of survivability of artillery unit based on non-stationary Markov process described by Kolmogorov equation was developed. The mathematical model allows to change probability of impressions of the artillery unit, time of their presence in combat positions and time of determination of positions of the enemy, which allows to determine vitality of the artillery unit in time during combat operations. The article considers two cases of survivability of an artillery unit during hostilities. In the first case, the entire artillery unit begins to fight on the uncertain positions of the enemy's artillery unit. The latter for some time determines the exact position of the attackers and, despite the fact that they entered the battle later, inflicts significant losses on the former. In the second case, the artillery unit is divided into two parts. The first part also begins the battle on the uncertain positions of the enemy's artillery unit. The second part enters the battle after determining the positions of the enemy artillery unit. In this case, the overall survivability of the first unit will be greater than the enemy's artillery unit. Ways to increase the survivability of the artillery unit during combat operations were shown. In our view, this approach can be used to create an interactive simulation of the artillery unit’s command. Such a complex is applicable in the training of commanders of artillery units.

Study of operational modes of an "electric drive–turbomachinery–pipeline" technological complex

A developed mathematical model of an asynchronous motor – turbomachinery pipeline technological complex is presented. An analysis of starting conditions is carried out by a nonlinear differential calculus and graphic analytical method. The calculations for the model were performed using the MATLAB software package. The flow, head, efficiency of the pump mechanism and entire pump unit, stator current, angular frequency and torque of the asynchronous motor were calculated at pump start-up and with an increase of pipeline resistance coefficient by 2, 5, 10, and 1000 times. At an increase in the pipeline resistance coefficient by 10 times, the pump efficiency is shown to be reduced by 2.8 times, while the head is increased by 1.28 times; meanwhile, the torque, stator current, and rotational speed of the asynchronous motor change insignificantly. The torque and current decrease by 1.167 and 1.034 times, respectively, while the speed increases by 1.0046 times; the efficiency of the pump mechanism and pump assembly (including motor) decreases by 1.78 and 1.89 times, respectively. The start-up time of the pump motor equals 0.5 s; the maximum stator current at start-up exceeds the nominal value by 4.39 times; the steady-state stator current comprises no more than 59.3 % of the nominal value. The developed mathematical model of the asynchronous motor – turbomachinery – pipeline technological complex is established to allow the operational and energy parameters of the unit to be quantitatively estimated at start-up, while the pump capacity is capable of being controlled by throttling.

P-60443372-101 - Modifications of the osteomyocutaneous peroneal artery based combined flap for reconstruction of composite anterior-mandibular defects.

Purpose Reconstruction of composite anterior mandibular defect (CAMD) requires the challenging restoration of oral competence and function. This study aimed to evaluate two novel modifications of the Osteomyocutaneous Peroneal Artery-based Combined (OPAC) flap for CAMD with or without lip preservation. Methods CAMDs reconstructed using either of the modifications in a one-year period from February 2020 were studied. When the entire lower lip-chin unit was resected (lip-resected group) a chimeric, bipaddled OPAC flap was used with a Palmaris Longus sling. The larger, inner skin paddle reconstructed the floor of the mouth, alveolus and lower lip draping itself over the sling, while the chimeric paddle was used for the chin defect. Whenever a viable band of lip mucosa was preserved (lip-preserved group), a single large skin paddle covered the chin defect while the intact Crural septum recreated the oral lining with the residual lip intervening. Patients were prospectively evaluated for oral function, symmetry, flap complications and donor site morbidity at one and six months. Results 19 patients were included (8 lip-preserved;11 lip-resected). Mouth opening (mean-35.1 mm), subjective oral competence and facial symmetry were satisfactory at 6 months. Objective measures of speech, eating and aesthetics significantly improved at 6 months (p<0.01, compared to pre-operative). Complications (graft loss-3, wound dehiscence-2) were managed conservatively. Conclusion These modifications of the OPAC flap for CAMDs have the advantage of a single donor site, satisfactory oral competence, function and facial symmetry. Flap complication and donor-site morbidity are minimal. This is a prudent replacement to the current practice of double-free flaps in the reconstruction algorithm of CAMDs.

Teaching and Learning about Bee Extinction through Project-Based Learning (PBL): Its Impact on the Classroom Climate (CL) among Eighth Grader Students

Environmental education is essential in order to curb the current dramatic loss of biodiversity. Students’ commitment to protect local biodiversity is an important goal of education in order to develop and promote sustainable environmental education elsewhere. The main focus of biodiversity education has been to create the knowledge, interest, and skills needed to solve various problems in biodiversity with respect to the local context. This study, which investigated 8th grade students who were taught by the project-based learning (PBL) method, sheds light on the subject of biodiversity (specifically bee extinction); it shows its impact on the classroom climate (CL). This method combines many activities on the subject of bee extinction, such as extracurricular learning and watching videos, in addition to classroom activities where bee extinction is learned experientially; its impact on the CL was investigated. The research tool used was a structured questionnaire (WHIMC; What Happened In My Class); it consisted of 35 questions that examined students’ perceptions of the CL when they learned an entire study unit on bee extinction by the PBL method. The research results indicated that the PBL method, used in studying bee extinction, after performing the activity in all of its dimensions, had a very positive effect on the CL for the experimental group (N = 62), but not among the students in the control group, i.e., the group that continued to study by the traditional teaching method. This was shown, for example, regarding social cohesion (t(57) = 21.85; p &lt; 0.001); students’ perceptions in the experimental group (M = 4.56; SD = 0.32) were more positive than their perceptions in the control group (M = 2.41; SD = 0.42).

Implications of stock structure in understanding juvenile Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) habitat suitability in the Gulf of Maine

The misalignment between the spatial structure of biological stocks and management units can be a potentially significant obstacle to the recovery of collapsed stocks. This study examines how ignoring biological stock structure in habitat modeling can prevent the detection of spatially explicit habitat relationships, using juvenile Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) as an example. A recent reevaluation of cod stock structure found that there are likely two separate biological units in the eastern Gulf of Maine (EGOM) and western Gulf of Maine (WGOM) within the current Gulf of Maine (GOM) management unit. These two areas differ in their ranges of depth, bottom temperature, and sediment type, variables that influence habitat use by juvenile Atlantic cod (20–50 cm). When applying a Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) model within these distinct spatial areas, juvenile cod in the EGOM biological unit were found to occupy wider ranges of habitat, including deeper and colder waters, with larger seasonal differences in overall habitat quality than in the WGOM biological unit. When modeling HSIs over the entire GOM management unit and ignoring biological stock structure, results aligned closely with WGOM trends, but did not identify the same seasonal habitat suitability shifts, and the unique habitat associations in the EGOM were not identified. Juvenile survival may be more important than adult survival and fecundity in rebuilding cod stocks in the GOM, and can increase through the protection of quality habitat. Habitat conservation measures, such as area closures, may be implemented over suboptimal areas if spatially explicit habitat relationships are ignored, failing to slow population declines and further hindering recovery of collapsed stocks such as Atlantic cod.

Detection of subtle cartilage and bone tissue degeneration in the equine joint using polarisation-sensitive optical coherence tomography

To explore the ability of polarisation-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) to rapidly identify subtle signs of tissue degeneration in the equine joint. Polarisation-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) images were systematically acquired in four locations along the medial and lateral condyles of the third metacarpal bone in five dissected equine specimens. Intensity and retardation PS-OCT images, and anomalies observed therein, were then compared and validated with high resolution images of the tissue sections obtained using Differential Interference contrast (DIC) optical light microscopy. The PS-OCT system was capable of imaging the entire equine osteochondral unit, and allowed delineation of the three structurally differentiated zones of the joint, that is, the articular cartilage matrix, zone of calcified cartilage and underlying subchondral bone. Importantly, PS-OCT imaging was able to detect underlying matrix and bone changes not visible without dissection and/or microscopy. PS-OCT has substantial potential to detect, non-invasively, sub-surface microstructural changes that are known to be associated with the early stages of joint tissue degeneration.

Untangling the Mechanisms of Lattice Distortions in Biogenic Crystals across Scales.

Biomineralized structures are complex functional hierarchical assemblies composed of biomineral building blocks joined together by an organic phase. The formation of individual mineral units is governed by the cellular tissue component that orchestrates the process of biomineral nucleation, growth, and morphogenesis. These processes are imprinted in the structural, compositional, and crystallographic properties of the emerging biominerals on all scales. Measurement of these properties can provide crucial information on the mechanisms that are employed by the organism to form these complex 3D architectures and to unravel principles of their functionality. Nevertheless, so far, this has only been possible at the macroscopic scale, by averaging the properties of the entire composite assembly, or at the mesoscale, by looking at extremely small parts of the entire picture. In this study, the newly developed synchrotron-based dark-field X-ray microscopy method is employed to study the link between 3D crystallographic properties of relatively large calcitic prisms in the shell of the mollusc Pinna nobilis and their local lattice properties with extremely high angular resolution down to 0.001°. Mechanistic links between variations in local lattice parameters and spacing, crystal orientation, chemical composition, and the deposition process of the entire mineral unit are unraveled.

Adaptive area-preserving parameterization of open and closed anatomical surfaces

The parameterization of open and closed anatomical surfaces is of fundamental importance in many biomedical applications. Spherical harmonics, a set of basis functions defined on the unit sphere, are widely used for anatomical shape description. However, establishing a one-to-one correspondence between the object surface and the entire unit sphere may induce a large geometric distortion in case the shape of the surface is too different from a perfect sphere. In this work, we propose adaptive area-preserving parameterization methods for simply-connected open and closed surfaces with the target of the parameterization being a spherical cap. Our methods optimize the shape of the parameter domain along with the mapping from the object surface to the parameter domain. The object surface will be globally mapped to an optimal spherical cap region of the unit sphere in an area-preserving manner while also exhibiting low conformal distortion. We further develop a set of spherical harmonics-like basis functions defined over the adaptive spherical cap domain, which we call the adaptive harmonics. Experimental results show that the proposed parameterization methods outperform the existing methods for both open and closed anatomical surfaces in terms of area and angle distortion. Surface description of the object surfaces can be effectively achieved using a novel combination of the adaptive parameterization and the adaptive harmonics. Our work provides a novel way of mapping anatomical surfaces with improved accuracy and greater flexibility. More broadly, the idea of using an adaptive parameter domain allows easy handling of a wide range of biomedical shapes.

Jurassic palynoevents in the circum-Arctic region

Successions of Jurassic strata located in the Arctic region normally yield rich assemblages of terrestriallyderived and marine palynomorphs, reflecting relatively warm air and sea-surface temperatures. The land plant floras were prone to the development of local communities and regional provincialism, whereas the marine biotas thrived across extensive open marine areas with high productivity, resulting in the rapid evolution of dinoflagellate cysts (dinocysts) following their earliest fossil record in the Triassic. Dinocysts exhibit low taxonomic richness and provide low biostratigraphic resolution throughout the Lower Jurassic sections. By contrast, they are diverse in Middle and Upper Jurassic strata where they provide excellent biostratigraphic markers for correlating and dating both surface and subsurface sections. Over twenty formal and informal biozonations based on the firstand last occurrences of dinocysts have been erected in Alaska, Arctic Canada, the Barents Sea region, Greenland and northern Russia, many of which are correlated with macrofossils, including ammonites, that occur in the same sections. This paper presents a compilation of 214 Jurassic palynostratigraphic events (118 first occurrences and 96 last occurrences) that have regional chronostratigraphic value in the Circum-Arctic, based on their published records. Each event is correlated with the base of a chronostratigraphical unit (including formal stages and sub-Boreal ammonite zones), or as an estimated percentage above the base of the chronostratigraphical unit relative to the entire unit. The relationships of each event to stages and key fossil zonal schemes is shown on chronostratigraphic plots using the 2020 version of TimeScale Creator®.

Uninterrupted Actigraphy Recording to Quantify Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviors in Mechanically Ventilated Adults

Purpose: We evaluated the feasibility of quantification of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviors (SB) using actigraphy during an entire intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay. Methods: A prospective study was performed in a 12-bed ICU. Triaxial accelerometers were fitted on the right ankle of mechanically ventilated adults. Twenty accelerometers were available to guarantee uninterrupted actigraphy recording 24 hours/day. Data were analyzed: (1) between awakening and ICU discharge to quantify daytime PA/SB and (2) between admission and ICU discharge to quantify day/nighttime inactivity. Secondarily, we assessed the relationship between inactivity/SB and clinical variables. Results: Thirty patients were enrolled, obtaining 5477 recording hours. No patient reported discomfort or injury. The median (min-max) delay time between admission and accelerometer installation was 2.1 (0.0-11.9) hours. Actigraphy recording duration was 5.4 (2.2-34.4) days. The time spent in SB and PA (percentage of minutes per hour) was 94.7% and 5.3%, respectively. PA was stratified by light, moderate, and vigorous levels equating to 91.8%, 7.7%, and 0.5%, respectively. Inactivity time (r = 0.991, P ≤ .001) and SB (r = 0.859, P ≤ .001) were strongly correlated with ICU length of stay. Conclusions: Quantifying PA levels with continuous monitoring through actigraphy is feasible, demonstrating prolonged periods of inactivity/SB. This study highlights that uninterrupted actigraphy could contribute to pursuing the optimal dose and the intervention fidelity of the ICU mobilization in the subsequent clinical trials.

A Blend of Analytical and Numerical Methods to Compute Orthogonal Image Moments over a Unit Disk

Accurate image moment computation is critical because they are used in a variety of fields, including image reconstruction and object recognition. Orthogonal polynomials are frequently used to compute moments due to their numerous intersecting and important theoretical properties. In polar coordinate systems, orthogonal polynomials such as the Polar Harmonic Fourier Transform (PHFT) and Polar Harmonic Transformation (PHT) are defined. However, the images are defined by a Cartesian coordinate system. To obtain image moments, a double integration over a unit circle over the product of the PHFT or PHT and the image function must be performed. The choice of double integration techniques and domain for the double integral has a significant effect on the precision of the computed moments. We have proposed a method for using the entire unit circle as an integration domain in this study, for image reconstruction. We used the PHFT and PHT to apply this technique to computing moments for the reconstruction. The proposed method outperforms other state-of-the-art methods, including Gaussian quadrature numerical integration method (GQM) and zeroth order approximation (ZOA) on variety of scenarios using three benchmarked image sets. We have demonstrated experimentally that this technique significantly improves the accuracy of image moments in higher order moments, as measured by reduced mean squared error (MSE). Additionally, the proposed method significantly improved the moment’s rotational (an improvement of 1-3% as compared to GQM and an improvement of 37-93% as compared to ZOA) and scaling invariance (an improvement of 0-500% as compared to GQM and an improvement of 3-7000% as compared to ZOA).

Pre-Teaching in Physical Education for Students With Visual Impairments

Students with visual impairments do not have the same opportunity to see the equipment, activity, field, court, or game play as their sighted peers. Therefore, pre-teaching—the exposure to the entire upcoming unit before it starts—is warranted in order better support their inclusion in every activity with their peers at the same pace.

Families of Origin: The Experience of Parents of Single Military Members

Enlisting in the military is a career choice that impacts the entire family unit. Many research studies have examined the effect of military life on spouses and children of military members; however little research to date has examined the experience of parents of adult children, especially for those of single Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members. Given that many military members are often younger and not yet in stable romantic relationships, parents are often a primary source of emotional and instrumental support. Building on military family research, the current study was conducted to gain a greater understanding of parents’ experiences upon the enlistment of their adult children and adjustment to their military career. Parents of single CAF members’ experiences were examined through a series of semi-structured interviews and focus groups in seven major Canadian cities. The study group consisted of 55 participants with a mean age of 56 years. Thematic analysis was employed to identify common themes across interviews and focus groups. Results suggest that parents often experience fear and worry over their children’s wellbeing, loss of control, and uncertainty. They strive to maintain connection to their adult children and provide emotional, instrumental, and financial support. Over time, many parents are able to develop increased resilience and adjustment to their children’s careers, in part due to the development of military connections, informal and formal support, and adaptive coping methods. The findings are discussed in relation to improving parental resilience and how the CAF may best support them.
