When population growth intensifies intergroup competition, female colobus monkeys free-ride less

Author(s): Arseneau-Robar TJ; Teichroeb JA; Macintosh AJJ; Saj TL; Glotfelty E; Lucci S; Sicotte P; Wikberg EC;

Intergroup aggression often results in the production of public goods, such as a safe and stable social environment and a home range containing the resources required to survive and reproduce. We investigate temporal variation in intergroup aggression in a growing population of colobus monkeys (C ...

A spatial perturbation framework to validate implantation of the epileptogenic zone

Author(s): Jaber K; Avigdor T; Mansilla D; Ho A; Thomas J; Abdallah C; Chabardes S; Hall J; Minotti L; Kahane P; Grova C; Gotman J; Frauscher B;

Stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) is the gold standard to delineate surgical targets in focal drug-resistant epilepsy. SEEG uses electrodes placed directly into the brain to identify the seizure-onset zone (SOZ). However, its major constraint is limited brain coverage, potentially leading to m ...

Comparison of parent-reported motivators of non-vaccination for children 5-11 years old in Australia and Canada: Results of the iCARE study

Author(s): Deslauriers F; Hoq M; Kaufman J; Enticott J; Lavoie KL; Bacon SL; Boyle JA; Danchin M;

Background: Despite COVID-19 infection being less severe in children compared to adults, vaccination for children from the age of 6 months onwards is recommended in many countries to reduce symptom severity and prevent severe disease. However, vaccination against COVID-19 for children remains controversial and uptake has been low. Aims: To assess and com ...

Optimism, pessimism, and physical health among youth: a scoping review

Author(s): Fairbank EJ; Borenstein-Laurie J; Alberts NM; Wrosch C;

Objective: High levels of optimism (and low levels of pessimism) are associated with improved physical health in adults. However, relatively less is known about these relations in youth. The present study aimed to review the literature investigating optimism, pessimism, and physical health in children and adolescents from populations with and without heal ...

A cross-cultural investigation of active transportation and community participation: Results from the WHO survey of Global Ageing and Adult Health

Author(s): Stroope J; Garn AC; Morin AJS;

Little is known about how the associations between active transportation and community participation may vary across national contexts. Using representative datasets from China, Ghana, India, Mexico, Russia, and South Africa collected in the Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health (N = 33,535), we estimated multi-group confirmatory factor analyses, tests ...

How we teach mindfulness matters: Adolescent development and the importance of informal mindfulness

Author(s): Mettler J; Zito S; Bastien L; Bloom E; Heath NL;

Given high levels of adolescent stress and educational institutions' key role in supporting students' mental health, mindfulness instruction is increasingly being implemented in schools. However, there is growing evidence adolescents find traditionally taught formal mindfulness (e.g., structured regular practice like meditation) challenging. Indee ...

Cognitive Speed in Neurodegenerative Disease: Comparing Mean Rate and Inconsistency Within and Across the Alzheimer's and Lewy Body Spectra in the COMPASS-ND Study

Author(s): Caballero HS; McFall GP; Gee M; MacDonald S; Phillips NA; Fogarty J; Montero-Odasso M; Camicioli R; Dixon RA;

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Lewy body disease (LBD) are characterized by early and gradual worsening perturbations in speeded cognitive responses. Objective: Using simple and choice reaction time tasks, we compared two indicators of cognitive speed within and across the AD and L ...

A fault isolation strategy for industrial processes using outlier-degree-based variable contributions

Author(s): Mu L; Sun W; Zhang Y; Feng N; Xue X; Li Q;

In industrial process monitoring, it is always a challenging and practical problem to analyze the causes of the system fault by isolating true fault variables from vast amounts of process data. However, the phenomenon of smearing effect occurs by using the traditional contribution analysis-based isolation methods since the defined isolation indices of dif ...

Improvements in Postural Stability, Dynamic Balance, and Strength Following 12 Weeks of Online Ballet-Modern Dance Classes for Older Women

Author(s): Chen EH; Bergdahl A; Roberts M;

Falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths among older adults and affect women at disproportionate rates. Dance has been used to improve postural stability, balance confidence and strength of older adults, but in-person classes are often inaccessible. This quasi-experimental pre-mid-post design study investigates whether 12 weeks of online dance ...

Simulating federated learning for steatosis detection using ultrasound images

Author(s): Qi Y; Vianna P; Cadrin-ChĂȘnevert A; Blanchet K; Montagnon E; Belilovsky E; Wolf G; Mullie LA; Cloutier G; ChassĂ© M; Tang A;

We aimed to implement four data partitioning strategies evaluated with four federated learning (FL) algorithms and investigate the impact of data distribution on FL model performance in detecting steatosis using B-mode US images. A private dataset (153 patients; 1530 images) and a public dataset ...

Characterization of muscle oxygenation response in well-trained handcyclists

Author(s): Furno Puglia V; Paquette M; Bergdahl A;

Purpose: Peripheral responses might be important in handcycling, given the involvement of small muscles compared to other exercise modalities. Therefore, the goal of this study was to compare changes in muscle oxygen saturation (?SmO2) and deoxyhemoglobin level (?[HHb]) between different efforts and muscles. Methods: Handcyclists participated in a Wingat ...
