Impairments in reaching and grasping have been well-documented in patients with post-stroke hemiparesis. Patients have deficits in spatial and temporal coordination and may use excessive trunk displacement to assist arm transport during performance of upper limb tasks. Studies of therapeutic effectiveness have shown that repetitive task-specific practice may improve motor function outcomes. Mov...

current behavioral researches demonstrate that physical environments, i.e., patient rooms and hospitalization space have strong psychological effects on children conditions and cause them some behavioral changes. since children are usually unfamiliar with medical environments, being in such places can cause some sort of stress and anxiety in them. therefore, designing less-stressed environments...

the usage and production of polychlorinated biphenyls (pcbs) was banned in argentina in2002, approximately twenty to thirty years later than in other countries. a total of 29 sediment samples (upto 14 m deep) were analyzed for a mix of seven individual pcbs in a time series for over more than one year in twelve selected locations, including harbors, recreational docks and several industrialized...

Giant pedunculated liposarcoma of the esophagus is considered a rare entity. They impose difficulties in management, especially the surgical approach. We report a case of giant pedunculated liposarcoma of the esophagus in a 62-year-old male who underwent cervical excision of this large tumor, and made a full recovery. Hurthle cell thyroid cancer was found during the work-up, which was managed a...

gamma rays pose enough energy to remove electrons from atoms of absorbing material including human body and adversely affect human health. the external exposure of human beings to natural environmental gamma radiation normally exceeds that from all man-made sources combined. therefore, we monitored gamma dose rate in indoor environments and estimated corresponding annual effective dose in selec...

Centriolar satellites (CS) are small granular structures that cluster in the vicinity of centrosomes. CS are highly susceptible to stress stimuli, triggering abrupt displacement of key CS factors. Here we discover a linear p38-MK2-14-3-3 signalling pathway that specifically targets CEP131 to trigger CS remodelling after cell stress. We identify CEP131 as a substrate of the p38 effector kinase M...

By studying quantum information masking in non-Hermitian systems, we show that mutually orthogonal states can be deterministically masked, while an arbitrary set of cannot masked systems. We further demonstrate a linearly independent which are $\eta$-orthogonal by pseudo-unitary operator. Moreover, study robustness against noisy environments. The deterministic and probabilistic under different ...

The article defines the concept of "gender". Women's gender stereotypes in Ukrainian and Polish media environments are analyzed. Based on obtained results, comparisons were made conclusions made.

The rapid development of information and wireless communication technologies together with the large increase in number end-users have made radio spectrum more crowded than ever. Besides, providing a stable reliable service is challenging, as electromagnetic environments are evolving becoming sophisticated. Accordingly, there an urgent need for intelligent systems that can improve efficiency qu...
