Preschoolers' anthropomorphizing of robots: Do human-like properties matter?

Author(s): Goldman EJ; Baumann AE; Poulin-Dubois D;

Prior work has yielded contradicting evidence regarding the age at which children consistently and correctly categorize things as living or non-living. The present study tested children's animacy judgments about robots with a Naïve Biology task. In the Naïve Biology task, 3- and 5-year-olds were asked if robots, animals, or artifacts possessed mechani ...

Design Principles in mHealth Interventions for Sustainable Health Behavior Changes: Protocol for a Systematic Review

Author(s): Yang L; Kuang A; Xu C; Shewchuk B; Singh S; Quan H; Zeng Y;

Background: In recent years, mHealth has increasingly been used to deliver behavioral interventions for disease prevention and self-management. Computing power in mHealth tools can provide unique functions beyond conventional interventions in provisioning personalized behavior change recommendations and delivering them in real time, suppo ...

Background Music and Memory in Mild Cognitive Impairment: The Role of Interindividual Differences

Author(s): Calabria M; Ciongoli F; Grunden N; Ordás C; García-Sánchez C;

Background: Recent research has shown that background music may improve memory consolidation and retrieval. Nevertheless, in the clinical conditions preceding dementia such as mild cognitive impairment (MCI), there is no current evidence speaking to what effect background music during memory tasks has on impaired cognition.

International Survey of Pediatric Oncologists' Beliefs and Communication Practices Regarding Symptom Self-Monitoring by Childhood Cancer Survivors

Author(s): Webster SN; Spunt SL; Cunningham SJ; Wakefield CE; Smith SM; Alberts NM; Palesh O; Simons LE; Heathcote LC;

Purpose: Childhood cancer survivors report self-monitoring for and worrying about symptoms of disease recurrence and secondary cancers, although symptom-related worry is associated with poorer health-related quality of life. This survey captured pediatric oncologists' beliefs and communicatio ...

A review on microfluidic-assisted nanoparticle synthesis, and their applications using multiscale simulation methods

Author(s): Agha A; Waheed W; Stiharu I; Nerguizian V; Destgeer G; Abu-Nada E; Alazzam A;

Recent years have witnessed an increased interest in the development of nanoparticles (NPs) owing to their potential use in a wide variety of biomedical applications, including drug delivery, imaging agents, gene therapy, and vaccines, where recently, lipid nanoparticle mRNA-based vaccines were developed to prevent SARS-CoV-2 causing COVID-19. NPs typical ...

A Community of Practice on Environmental Design for Long-Term Care Residents with Dementia

Author(s): Elliott J; Stolee P; Mairs K; Kothari A; Conklin J;

The use of communities of practice (CoP) to support the application of knowledge in improved geriatric care practice is not widely understood. This case study's aim was to gain a deeper understanding of the knowledge-to-action (KTA) processes of a CoP focused on environmental design, to improve how persons with dementia find their way around in long-t ...

Dense Sampling Approaches for Psychiatry Research: Combining Scanners and Smartphones

Author(s): McGowan AL; Sayed F; Boyd ZM; Jovanova M; Kang Y; Speer ME; Cosme D; Mucha PJ; Ochsner KN; Bassett DS; Falk EB; Lydon-Staley DM;

Together, data from brain scanners and smartphones have sufficient coverage of biology, psychology, and environment to articulate between-person differences in the interplay within and across biological, psychological, and environmental systems thought to underlie psychopathology. An important ne ...

Modeling and tracking control of dielectric elastomer actuators based on fractional calculus

Author(s): Wu J; Xu Z; Zhang Y; Su CY; Wang Y;

Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) show broad application prospects in the area of soft robots since they offer merits of fast response, large deformation, light weight and high energy conversion efficiency. Practical soft robot applications would usually require the study on the modeling and control of the DEA. However, the DEA has a memory property, ...

Using an Affordable Motion Capture System to Evaluate the Prognostic Value of Drop Vertical Jump Parameters for Noncontact ACL Injury

Author(s): Jason Corban, Nicolaos Karatzas, Kevin Y Zhao, Athanasios Babouras, Stephane Bergeron, Thomas Fevens, Hassan Rivaz, Paul A Martineau

CONCLUSION: Increased peak coronal angle and decreased peak sagittal angle during a DVJ were significantly associated with increased risk for noncontact ACL injury. Based on ROC analysis, initial coronal angle showed good prognostic ability, whereas peak coronal angle and peak sagittal flexion pr ...

Barriers and facilitators to diet, physical activity and lifestyle behavior intervention adherence: a qualitative systematic review of the literature

Author(s): Alysha L Deslippe

CONCLUSIONS: Lifestyle interventions that foster self-regulatory skills, opportunities for social engagement and personalization of goals may improve behaviour adherence. This can be achieved through inclusion of BCT, tapering off of intervention supports, identification of meaningful goals and anticipated barriers with participants.
