Assessing and Enhancing Movement Quality Using Wearables and Consumer Technologies: Thematic Analysis of Expert Perspectives.

Improvements in movement quality (ie, how well an individual moves) facilitate increases in movement quantity, subsequently improving general health and quality of life. Wearable technology offers a convenient, affordable means of measuring and assessing movement quality for the general population, while technology more broadly can provide constructive feedback through various modalities. Considering the perspectives of professionals involved in the development and implementation of technology helps translate user needs into effective strategies for the optimal application of consumer technologies to enhance movement quality. This study aimed to obtain the opinions of wearable technology experts regarding the use of wearable devices to measure movement quality and provide feedback. A secondary objective was to determine potential strategies for integrating preferred assessment and feedback characteristics into a technology-based movement quality intervention for the general, recreationally active population. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 12 participants (age: mean 42, SD 9 years; 5 males) between August and September 2022 using a predetermined interview schedule. Participants were categorized based on their professional roles: commercial (n=4) and research and development (R&D; n=8). All participants had experience in the development or application of wearable technology for sports, exercise, and wellness. The verbatim interview transcripts were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis in QSR NVivo (release 1.7), resulting in the identification of overarching themes and subthemes. Three main themes were generated as follows: (1) "Grab and Go," (2) "Adjust and Adapt," and (3) "Visualize and Feedback." Participants emphasized the importance of convenience to enhance user engagement when using wearables to collect movement data. However, it was suggested that users would tolerate minor inconveniences if the benefits were perceived as valuable. Simple, easily interpretable feedback was recommended to accommodate diverse audiences and aid understanding of their movement quality, while avoiding excessive detail was advised to prevent overload, which could deter users. Adaptability was endorsed to accommodate progressions in user movement quality, and customizable systems were advocated to offer variety, thereby increasing user interest and engagement. The findings indicate that visual feedback representative of the user (ie, an avatar) should be used, supplemented with concise text or audible instructions to form a comprehensive, multimodal feedback system. The study provides insights from wearable technology experts on the use of consumer technologies for enhancing movement quality. The findings recommend the prioritization of user convenience and simplistic, multimodal feedback centered around visualizations, and an adaptable system suitable for a diverse audience. Emphasizing individualized feedback and user-centric design, this study provides valuable findings around the use of wearables and other consumer technologies to enhance movement quality among the general population. These findings, in conjunction with those of future research into user perspectives, should be applied in practical settings to evaluate their effectiveness in enhancing movement quality.

EVOLUTION OF THE SYSTEM OF POWERS OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN

The author notes that most Kazakh authors in determining the powers of the head of state one way or another adhere to a functional approach. The term «function» itself is found in the constitutions of some States. However, both in the first Constitution of independent Kazakhstan dated January 28, 1993, and in the current Constitution, this term was not used. Nevertheless, some provisions of the Constitution of the Republic can be interpreted as descriptions of the functions of the highest official of the State. In the article, the author examines the groups of powers specified in the Constitutional Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan". The author examines the development of the powers of the head of state, taking into account all constitutional reforms since the adoption of the current Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan (amendments and additions in 1999, 2007, 2011, 2017, 2022 and 2023). The subject of the study is the legal acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the legal norms formulated in them and the practice of their implementation, program documents. The objectives of the work are to identify problems in the development of the system of powers of the President and to develop proposals for their solution. The article analyzes each group of powers of the head of state, including the constitutional and legal position of the President in the system of public authorities, analyzes the processes of development of relations between state bodies, identifies provisions that are insufficiently clear. The author draws attention in detail to the excessive detail of the powers of the head of state for each group of powers, including the inconsistency of some powers under the Constitution, Constitutional Law and other legal acts. In conclusion, an assessment is given of some provisions of the legal acts of Kazakhstan, recommendations are given on the expansion of powers.

User-tailored visualization of simulation and sensor data for efficient crisis management

The availability of all relevant data in a situation report is key for efficient crisis management. The digital twin concept allows for comprehensive data accumulation, both from real-world sensors as well as augmented by simulations. However, the excessive amount and detail of data can hinder usability and discourage users or impede efficient decision making. To still benefit from such emerging technologies, user-tailored data visualization with appropriate filtering and processing is recommended. This work promotes the use of a standardized data aggregation in order to optimize customized data processing through implementation into existing platforms for crisis management. The concept is showcased for three well-established platforms with data accumulated from a standardized digital twin representation of urban critical infrastructure and emergency units. Each of the examples focuses on different facets of visualization as typically demanded by the respective target user group.

A pragmatic review paper on the use of recycled aggregates in concrete

The incorporation of recycled aggregate into concrete may have a number of potential benefits, one of which is the maintenance of the natural environment, which also contributes to the expansion of the economy. In the not too distant future, recycled aggregates are destined to take the lion’s share of the market for construction materials. Recycled aggregate is rapidly being utilised as a kind of construction material in a broad variety of building projects throughout a number of nations in Europe, North America, and Asia. These building projects can be found in a variety of countries. These countries are among those that are taken into account: In an effort to increase the amount of recycled aggregate that is employed in building projects, several nations are relaxing some restrictions that regulate infrastructure. This is being done in an effort to improve the quantity of recycled aggregate that is used. Within the scope of this investigation, we will look at the fundamental characteristics of recycled fine aggregate in addition to recycled coarse aggregate. In addition to that, it investigates these properties by considering natural aggregates as a reference point. In this study, the researchers investigated a wide variety of treatment strategies, such as Cement treatment, mineral additives, modified concrete mixers, and mineral admixtures, warm mix asphalt and hydrated lime, CO2 curing technique, silica gel techniques, waste oil and asphalt emulsion, mechanical grinding or ball milling, thermal treatment, chemical and calcium metasilicate slurry, carbonation and wrapping methods, non materials, and super plasticizability. The researchers found that chemical treatment, mechanical The application of a ball mill, another kind of grinding equipment, or a certain kind of chemical method might be used. The particulars of each therapy approach, as well as the outcomes of employing each treatment strategy, are explained in a way that is simple to comprehend and does not delve into excessive detail.

Internetinės pažinčių programėlės: kaip vyro patrauklumo vertinimas priklauso nuo jo atsiskleidimo ir moterų vienišumo lygio

The link between self-disclosure and attractiveness is well-researched, yet studies often overlook the rater’s loneliness, a potentially vital aspect in this dynamic. The aim of this study is to examine how women evaluate a man’s social and physical attractiveness in dating app profiles based on disclosed personal information. Additionally, it explores the connection between women’s feelings of loneliness and their assessment of social attractiveness in this context. 90 students, aged from 19 to 26, participated in the study. Participants were randomly assigned to three groups. All groups were presented with the same two photographs of a man but differed in the amount and depth of information presented next to each one (high, optimal, and no exposure). The UCLA Loneliness Scale (version 3) was used to measure loneliness, and the Interpersonal Attractiveness Scale was used to measure attractiveness. The study discovered that women rated a man disclosing an optimal amount of information as more physically attractive than one sharing excessive details. There were no between-group differences in ratings of a man’s social attractiveness. Although social attractiveness ratings correlated negatively with women’s loneliness (r = -0.32), loneliness did not significantly influence social attractiveness ratings based on disclosure levels.

Assisting over thinkers to reframe cognitive processes

Overthinking refers to the process of dwelling on thoughts and ideas for an extended period of time, often leading to a feeling of mental exhaustion and anxiety. It involves analyzing and interpreting situations and events in excessive detail and repeatedly replaying scenarios in one's mind. We found that people who are experiencing an overthinking issue, are unable to make tough life decisions or when they are dealing with insecurities. Causes of this mental clutter are daily stress, the paradox of choices, too much stuff, and the negativity bias. We also found the SMART (which stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound) goals design approach during our literature study. Through our research paper, we try to solve this issue by employing Design Research Methodology (DRM). During this DRM, we did secondary research, conducted interviews with stakeholders as a part of our primary research, and talked with psychologists to deepen our knowledge in this domain which helped us to define our target users. The outcome of this research was a mobile application that aims to assist overthinkers in social interaction and achieving their individual goals while also assisting them to reframe their cognitive processes. Keywords—Anxiety, Cognitive process, Goals, Overthinkers, Stress.

Steady-state Approximations for Hodgkin-Huxley Cell Models: Towards Multi-scale Models of Uterine Smooth Muscle

The Tong, et al. 2011 publication presents a comprehensive mathematical model of electro- mechanical behaviour in a uterine smooth muscle cell. It incorporates ion channel currents into a classic Hodgkin-Huxley membrane voltage formulation as well as Ca2+ concentration dynamics with pumps and exchangers. Mechanical force generation by way of the Hai-Murphy smooth muscle cell model is computed based on the Ca2+ concentrations. The ‘full’ Tong, 2011 model (FTM) includes nineteen ordinary differential equations for the ion channel activation/inactivation variables out of a total of 105 equations overall. An effort at reducing the FTM into a smaller number of equations for computational efficiency – the ‘reduced’ Tong model (RTM) – aims at reproducing the overall behaviour of the FTM without excessive detail. We present here the CellML implementation of the RTM for simulating the FTM within the context of the reduced model’s primary publication as derived from the Tong, et al. 2011 model.

The principle of good faith and its manifestations in Russian law as a means of "smart regulation"

The author examines the essence of the category "good faith" and its implementation in specific legal institutions in the context of the concept of "smart regulation". Using the example of tax and civil law, it is investigated exactly how the category "good faith" is interpreted in the scientific literature, legislation and law enforcement practice, the main aspects of its direct and indirect application are analyzed. Based on the results of this analysis, the grounds for attributing the principle of good faith to the means of "smart regulation" have been identified, the main advantages of such categorization and recommendations for optimizing the use of the principle of good faith and its main manifestation in modern domestic tax law – the "anti-rejection rule" have been identified. Conclusions are drawn that the manifestations of "smart regulation" are not always innovative and poorly studied legal institutions. Finding them among the usual, ubiquitous legal means is no less important for the most effective, accurate use of the latter. For example, a correct understanding by the judicial authorities of the role of the general grounds for challenging transactions in bankruptcy (prevention and exclusive application) leads to the formulation of legal positions on their subsidiarity, preventing the use of this tool as ubiquitous. On the other hand, the consolidation of the anti-deviation rule in the tax legislation is generally correct, but not enough: there are no specific compositions of "evasive" offenses, which normalizes the widespread use of Article 54.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and the excessive detail and significance of the explanations of the tax authorities. The key assumption of the author is that the formation of an idea of these institutions as "smart regulation" will allow them to achieve the greatest effectiveness with the least legislative and law enforcement intervention.

Early Chorographical and Historical County Survey Writing in Wales, C.1550–1700

Private or state interests stimulated fresh mapping and 'chorographical' regional surveys in Elizabeth I's reign. In Wales there was more concern to promote the Galfridian British History, especially in national histories, though most trends and motivations, including the desire to produce county surveys, were shared with English counterparts. From c .1620 the chronological emphasis shifted, as High Anglican gentry authors produced county surveys concentrating on medieval aristocratic families, eschewing earlier times for lack of evidence. George Owen's interest in natural history in The Description of Pembrokeshire (c.1603) was taken up again in the 1690s by Edward Lhwyd. Though mocked for excessive detail, specialisation and rigour signalled a more critical approach by 1700.

The child abuse reporting guideline compliance in Korean newspapers

The rate of child abuse has sharply increased worldwide, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. As the media’s role in addressing child abuse cases is crucial, several international and formal organizations have established child abuse reporting guidelines. This study investigated how closely journalists follow reporting guidelines in addressing child abuse cases. Five major Korean presses and 189 articles from January 1, 2018, to January 31, 2021, were selected using the keyword “child abuse.” Each article was analyzed using a guideline framework consisting of 13 items regarding the five principles of the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare and Central Child Protection Agency reporting guidelines.This study identified a radical growth in media reporting on child abuse cases in South Korea; almost 60% of the articles analyzed came from 2020 and 2021. More than 80% of the articles analyzed did not provide abuse resources, and 70% did not provide factual information. 57.1% of the articles instigated negative stereotypes, and about 30% explicitly mentioned certain family types in the headlines. Nearly 20% of the articles provided excessive details about the method used. Approximately 16% exposed victims’ identities. Some articles (7.9%) also described victims as sharing responsibility for the abuse.This study indicates that the media reports of child abuse in South Korea did not follow the guidelines in many facets. The present study discusses the limitations of the current guidelines and suggests future directions for the news media in reporting on child abuse cases nationwide.

Explicit molecule-based reaction network simplification: Theory and application on catalytic reforming

The complex molecular reaction network may contain excessive reaction details, resulting in the difficulty in solving the model. To reduce the size of a complex reaction network, this work proposed a reaction network simplification algorithm. The explicit molecules can be determined from the network according to the molecular-level characterization information. The remaining non-explicit substances were defined as intermediate and terminal molecules, respectively. A reaction screening rule was proposed to select key reactions and reduce the reaction network. This work took naphtha catalytic reforming as a studying case, and a reaction network containing excessive details was generated via reaction rules. After the reaction network simplification algorithm was employed, a simplified network was obtained. The results indicate that the product yield and temperature distribution calculated through the reduced network has an excellent agreement with the complete network, and the product composition also can be computed accurately. Simultaneously, the computational efficiency is enhanced.

Peep show: a framework for watching how evidence is communicated inside policy organisations

Background:Seeing how governments formulate decisions on our behalf is a crucial component of their ability to claim democratic legitimacy. This includes being seen to draw on the knowledge and evidence produced by their civil service policy advisers. Yet much of the advice provided to governments is being increasingly withdrawn from public accessibility. Aims and objectives:To counter this diminishing transparency, I propose a framework for observing how evidence is made and used in the political decision-making process. Although my framework is constructed within the Australian context, I hope to encourage its use in other government and policy settings. Methods:Using an example from my own research into the language of rejected policy advice, I construct a framework for locating how policy actors formulate and communicate their evidence. With primary material drawn from Freedom of Information releases, my framework qualitatively examines three impact factors with which to situate policy advice: text, organisational influences and the interplay between the front and back regions of politics and policy. To counter releases’ limitations, they are contextualised with publicly available, contemporaneous statements. Findings:Text displayed excessive detail, inviting multiple interpretations. Organisational influences suggested an insular culture over-reliant on its reputation. Interplay linked to evidence as ostensibly authority-imparting but ultimately adding to the lack of transparency around how political decisions were made. Discussion and conclusions:Even when processes are hidden from public view, they can be found. By connecting an array of impact factors, my framework here illuminated a complex choreography of civil servants communicating with their government about a contentious policy issue and revealed the political affordances they enabled in the process.

MargaretCoombe (Ed. & Trans.): Reginald of Durham: The Life and Miracles of Saint Godric, Hermit of Finchale. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 2022; pp. 1072.

The Life of St Godric of Finchale is not well known. A small passage of that text was included in The Portable Medieval Reader (1979), edited by James Ross and Mary McLaughlin, because it describes how this twelfth-century hermit had once made his living “by learning how to gain in small bargains and things of insignificant price,” becoming in the process a successful merchant (p. 51). He travelled not just across England, but to Scotland, Denmark, and Flanders, in pursuit of profit. Through the efforts of Margaret Coombe, we now have access to both an edition and a highly readable translation of Reginald of Durham's Life of a rather unusual twelfth-century saint. This volume of more than 1,000 pages makes clear that there is much more to St Godric than presented in that compendium for students. Reginald, a monk of Durham, became a close friend of Godric, who maintained his independence from established religious life by living as a hermit. As we learn from Reginald's account, becoming a hermit provided a way for maintaining a way of life, free of the constraints of traditional monasticism. In her introduction, Coombe avoids going into excessive detail about Godric. She focuses on putting together what we know about Reginald of Durham, who tells us that he started to write this account during Godric's lifetime but completed it in the decade or so following his death on 21 May 1170. She explains how Reginald's core narrative about Godric and the miracles worked at his tomb survives in a single manuscript from Durham, but then generated a number of subsequent summaries in the later twelfth century. Though the introduction is informative about Reginald as a writer, there is much more that could be said about both his narrative, a challenge for any translator because of the richness of its detail, and the broader phenomenon of hermits in the twelfth century. As a genre, hagiography can become a wearisome compilation of how an individual conquered temptation for the sake of imitating the life of Christ. In this case, the reader gets a sense that though Reginald was clearly familiar with the genre, he was also fascinated by the many stories Godric could tell about his past life, as well as about his charismatic reputation in an English-speaking milieu, naturally suspicious of the Anglo-Norman elite which had established itself in the region of Durham. Reginald describes where Godric lived, next to a “fish-filled river” (the Wear), overlooked “by mountain peaks and vast banks of earth,” living austerely, initially without contact with the outside world (p. 133). Over time, however, Godric became known to the local population, acquiring a reputation for truth telling, and uncovering hypocrisy within those belonging to the aristocratic or clerical establishment. Reginald befriended Godric through being one of several monks who came to say mass for the hermit. The interaction between the two men provides a key thread throughout the narrative. Godric was clearly an individual who had travelled widely during his early life. His capacity for making astute judgements about kings and bishops suggests that he had a freedom of discourse that could not be regulated within a more conventional ecclesiastical milieu. There are many themes that deserve further study within this narrative. The reports of Godric's struggle with demons invite reflection on what was seen as an ongoing daily drama of temptation and redemption. His interactions with many senior figures in the monastic community at Durham suggests a capacity to communicate at the highest level, even though his primary language was that of English (in which he composed songs, we are told). In many ways, Godric can be seen as emulating the charismatic authority of Cuthbert, much revered at Durham. With such a large volume, it is perhaps to be regretted that the General Index is not more detailed. It is left to the reader to explore what this narrative has to offer. The volume is nonetheless a pleasure to read or simply dip into. This text deserves to become studied closely by all those interested in broadening our picture of religious life in twelfth-century England beyond the world of institutional monasticism.

Eucharistic Adoration After Vatican II by Edward Foley

Reviewed by: Eucharistic Adoration After Vatican II by Edward Foley Michael Brummond Edward Foley Eucharistic Adoration After Vatican II Collegeville, MN: Liturgical Press, 2022 123 pages. Paperback. $16.95. The Church in the United States is currently in the midst of a National Eucharistic Revival intended to deepen the faithful's understanding of Jesus' Eucharistic presence, and to intensify devotion to, and worship of, the Eucharistic Lord. This is therefore an opportune time to reflect on the relationship between Christ's presence in the liturgy and devotion to the Blessed Sacrament outside Mass, a question with a somewhat checkered history. Pope Benedict XVI wrote in Sacramentum Caritatis that, shortly after the reforms of Vatican II, "the inherent relationship between Mass and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament was not always perceived with sufficient clarity. For example, an objection that was widespread at the time argued that the eucharistic bread was given to us not to be looked at, but to be eaten. In the light of the Church's experience of prayer, however, this was seen to be a false dichotomy" (Sacramentum Caritatis, no. 66). Two years later, however, Fr. Richard McBrien could still write that, given the reformed liturgical rites now more accessible to the laity, "there is little or no need for extraneous Eucharistic devotions. The Mass itself provides all that a Catholic needs sacramentally and spiritually. Eucharistic adoration, perpetual or not, is a doctrinal, theological, and spiritual step backward, not forward" ("Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration," National Catholic Reporter, September 8, 2009). Edward Foley's Eucharistic Adoration after Vatican II continues this conversation, seeking to offer historical foundations and sound theological principles by which to ground liturgically centered Eucharistic spirituality and devotion in a post-conciliar Church. Fr. Foley is a Capuchin and retired professor of liturgy and music at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, and author of over thirty books. Much of his work is practical in orientation, directed toward liturgical praxis, and this book is no exception. Foley notes that while the council brought in its wake far-reaching liturgical reforms, "my multiple experiences of Benediction and other Eucharistic devotions [End Page 117] after the appearance of these innumerable reformed rites seems to be identical to what had been in place in the 1950s" (viii). This book is his attempt to articulate the relationship between Vatican II and contemporary Eucharistic adoration and other devotions. Unlike McBrien, however, for Foley, "a foundational belief behind this writing is that devotions of every kind contribute in a unique and essential way to my personal faith and that of the wider church" (ix). The book begins with a succinct history of Eucharistic devotions from the biblical and patristic ages through the reforms of Vatican II, considered both within the liturgy itself and as they eventually developed in extra-liturgical contexts. Written in a compelling and accessible manner, this chapter highlights not only the theological issues and controversies that prompted varied forms of Eucharistic devotion, but also the role played by cultural influences, other pious practices such as the veneration of altars and relics, and the desire of the lay faithful to see the consecrated host. In this historical survey, Foley naturally highlights the norms contained in Sacrosanctum Con-cilium. Unencumbered by excessive detail or minutiae, this historical review may be too concise for the trained academic, while being of greatest interest and value to the curious non-historian of liturgy. It is also refreshing that Foley generally refrains from value judgements regarding devotional excesses throughout history. "Instead, these ancient testimonies provide a vital context for pondering the present" (1). The chapter concludes with the pointed summary of the historical data, "Eucharistic devotions are honored preparations for and extensions of the Eucharistic liturgy" (34). The second chapter draws from the liturgy itself as a primary source, along with the dogmatic teachings of the Church, to formulate five theological principles to guide authentic Eucharistic devotion. Such devotions, Foley argues, will 1) center on Christ and 2) his Paschal Mystery as a visible sacrament of God's love; they will 3) have an ecclesial or communal dimension; and these devotions ought to 4) draw us to be missionary disciples, and 5) call us to reverence...

Japonisme in Russian Printed Graphics at the End Of the 19th – the Beginning of the 20th Century

Japonisme is a complex phenomenon, based on the pervasion of Japanese culture into Western culture. Russian artists comprehended it mainly in Europe at the same time as the latest trends in Western art. In their memoirs, the names of Hokusai, Hiroshige and Utamaro are often found: The acquaintance with the engravings of these masters had a great influence on the visual language of a generation of artists in Europe and Russia. Immersion in the technique of Japanese ukiyo-e woodcuts led to experiments, the result of which was the reception by Russian artists of several principles of graphic interpretation of depicted objects, spatial structure, and composition. One of the first Russian artists, who began to work in color engraving was M. V. Yakunchikova. In her works a fusion of various trends is noticeable, among which are the innovative ideas of European artists, and the influence of Japanese woodcuts, and the aestheticism of the “Mir Iskusstva”. The main features of Yakunchikova’s etchings are the conciseness and restraint of the compositions, the absence of excessive detail, the smoothness of the lines and the silhouette of the construction. A. P. Ostroumova-Lebedeva enriched Russian woodcut with color and abandoned the stroke, putting the silhouette and the generalized line in the first place. Her works are characterized by subtle lyricism at the same time as a strictly built composition. V. D. Falileev also worked in the technique of linocut. He created several talented works that demonstrated her wide visual capabilities. Along with recognized masters such as Yakunchikova, Ostroumova-Lebedeva and Falileev, lesser-known masters such as N. N. Zeddeler and A. P. Somova-Zeddeler. Until recently their works did not attract the attention of researchers, but at the beginning of the twentieth century their work was an integral part of artistic life. Despite the presence of a fairly large number of publications devoted to Japonisme and its influence on European art, this topic remains insufficiently studied in Russian art. Japonisme has become one of the important features of the Art Nouveau style, which is characterized by spatial convention, silhouette construction, the rhythm of color spots and other techniques aimed at creating laconic and decorative artistic images.

Topology-Preserving Simplification of OpenStreetMap Network Data for Large-scale Simulation in SUMO

Converting OpenStreetMap (OSM) data to a road network suitable for microscopic traffic simulation keeps being a challenging task: both missing information and excessive details, as well as wrong typologies present in the dataset frequently confuses automatic converters. In this paper, we present a method along with a reference implementation, Traffic Simulation Map Maker (TSMM), which aims at substantially increasing the automation level of road network prototyping by simplifying the OSM data while preserving important topology information. The main objective of this work is to enable the study of traffic simulation dynamics at scale using real-world road networks, while minimizing the need for solving the long tail of problems related to the road network generation. Our proposed approach yields what we believe is a good trade-off between precision and automation, making bold yet acceptable decisions that solve most of the errors at the source, i.e., the map. While there is definitely a loss in fidelity with respect to the real world, many properties of the road network are preserved. We argue that TSMM greatly improves the availability of arbitrarily large and usable road networks on top of available OSM maps by reducing the complexity for conversion tools and traffic simulation researchers alike. A proof-of-concept study using OSM data from Binjiang, China, demonstrates that TSMM is able to generate a road network with well-preserved topological information which avoids the many errors and deadlocks that occur when building the network using the original input sources.
