A psychophysical investigation was carried out to examine whether heat hyperalgesia exists within the secondary mechanical zone surrounding a capsaicin injection site on hairy skin. non-contact laser stimulator used deliver temperature controlled stimuli sites and outside of hyperalgesia. Heat testing before after intradermal 50 μg into volar forearm. The zones punctate stroking region flare were also mapped injection. pain thresholds inside hyperalgesic not significantly different from...

During the past decade there has been an increase in range and quantity of digital technologies available to use within classrooms (Casey et al., Citation2016; Gard, Citation2014; Lupton, Citation2015). It recognised that using ICT is important skill develop amongst children (Livingstone, Citation2012), can provide unique opportunities for developing high quality reflection feedback skills (Fabian & Maclean, Weir Connor, Citation2009). Qualitative data were collected from both specialist (n...

<title>Abstract</title> Virtual reality (VR) has the potential to be a popular stress management tool in workplaces, however its efficacy yet tested on content moderators (CMs). This study used an experimental design where CMs were randomly assigned either: 1) VR, 2) non-screen activity or 3) control condition for six-week period. Adherence data regarding further four-week period was also collected and focus groups conducted. The results demonstrated no significant differences trait anxiety...

For testing a survey metric introduced, research methodology explained. Finally, conclusion limitations are Findings model motivations use was adopted...

Gender inequalities and social exclusions in community-based forest management have garnered attention, particularly South Asia. Yet, framings that homogenize women marginalized groups fail to capture the nuanced processes by which such occur. Despite provisions for local community institutions, numerous constraints hinder their active participation governance. Understanding JFM requires attention not only gender, but also diversified interests experiences hold unequal power relations they...

Isotropic hyperviscous turbulence is modelled with a pseudospectral Navier-Stokes model and comparisons are made regular-viscosity isotropic turbulence. Two proposed means of measuring the (hyperviscous) turbulent Reynolds number presented critiqued, leading to proposal for measured as linear function L/λ. An analysis statistics velocity velocity-derivative fields leads comments on appropriate uses hyperviscosity in theoretical practical modelling research.

In this paper we explore current theoretical approaches available from the discipline of critical disability studies (CDS) for conceptualizing physical and advocate how these understandings can advance sociological research on sport. After reviewing a dominant “models” approach that has historically been employed, illuminate architecture provided by selected theorists (Pierre Bourdieu, Michel Foucault, Zygmunt Bauman) aesthetic, cyborg, new materialist help reveal conditions, sociocultural...

A large body of research has established that sport intervention programs can have social, emotional and health benefits for at-risk youth. While focused on the positive outcomes associated with these programs, little attention been given to program inputs. It is recognized community partnerships help achieve their goals. Yet, how are such formed what promote successful formation partnerships? This paper provides a detailed account partnership implementation process undertaken develop...

People with intellectual disabilities (IDs) are considered to be one of the most marginalized, isolated and disenfranchised groups in society. However, recent social prescription intervention programmes being introduced enhance physical mental well-being these individuals through participation leisure activities, thus increasing academic interest research within area. This article introduces theoretical methodological tensions applying mainstream scholarly thinking people IDs argues that by...

Abstract This study identified the relative pattern of performance on measures visual perception and executive functions in children with school-related occupational difficulties. The participants were 46 aged 5 to 10 years (M = 7.4, SD 1.3) referred an therapy clinic for difficulty performing tasks such as handwriting, cutting scissors. Children completed Developmental Test Visual Perception, 2nd edition (DTVP-2), parents teachers Behavior Rating Inventory Executive Function (BRIEF)....

This article describes how an interprofessional project in a London NHS Foundation Trust was undertaken to develop intranet—based medical device-related pressure ulcer prevention and management pathway for clinical staff working across adult critical care directorate, where life-threatening events require interventions using devices. The aim of this improve policies processes define key strategies provide clinicians with clear, standardised approach risk skin assessment, equipment use,...

This article presents the narrative accounts of six elite student-para-athletes attending higher education full time in UK. Whilst literature concerning student-athlete population UK is growing, there no research at present that brings to fore voices student-athletes who represent their country Paralympic sports. In addition, experiences students with disabilities heavily concerned experience learning as opposed more nuanced ‘being’ a university student. Accounts lived were gathered via...

Individuals become activists to affirm both themselves and their vision of the world, often prompted action by seeking out complementary individuals, groups or organisations that can help organise, research, promote solutions shared problems. A gap exists between research practice within field disability sport adaptive physical activity. In particular, academy is failing produce demonstrates what, how why theory misaligned problematic. This novel needed paper a reflexive ethnography...

Background Entomopathogenic Xenorhabdus bacteria are endosymbionts of Steinernema nematodes and together they form an insecticidal mutualistic association that infects a wide range insect species. produce arsenal toxins secondary metabolites kill the host. In addition, can induce production diverse phage particles. A few studies have focused on one integrated responsible for producing tail-like bacteriocin, associated with antimicrobial activity against other However, very little is known...
