Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the various aspects of illness perceptions about breast cancer in affected patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study enrolled 140 patients with breast cancer in their chemotherapy period within 14 months. The revised Illness Perception Questionnaire (revised IPQ) was used to assess the disease representations of breast cancer. The ...

Abstract As most philosophers recognize, the body’s central role in touch differs from it plays other sense modalities. Any account of must then explain pivotal nature involvement touch. Unlike accounts touch, this paper argues that centrality is not phenomenological or experiential: body felt any special way tactile experiences. Building on Aristotle’s De Anima, I argue because medium percepti...

The human brain uses acoustic cues to decompose complex auditory scenes into its components. For instance to improve communication, a listener can select an individual "stream," such as a talker in a crowded room, based on cues such as pitch or location. Despite numerous investigations into auditory streaming, few have demonstrated clear correlates of perception; instead, in many studies percep...

Animal communication sounds contain spectrotemporal fluctuations that provide powerful cues for detection and discrimination. Human perception of speech is influenced both by spectral and temporal acoustic features but is most critically dependent on envelope information. To investigate the neural coding principles underlying the perception of communication sounds, we explored the effect of dis...

Green space is any green infrastructure consisting of vegetation. linked with improving mental and physical health, providing opportunities for social interactions activities, aiding the environment. The quality refers to condition space. Past machine learning-based studies have emphasized that littering, lack maintenance, dirtiness negatively impact perceived These methods assess spaces their ...
