Integration has become both a key policy objective related to the resettlement of refugees and other migrants, matter significant public discussion. Coherent development productive debate are, however, threatened by fact that concept integration is used with widely differing meanings. Based on review attempted definitions term, literature primary fieldwork in settings refugee settlement UK, paper identifies elements central perceptions what constitutes 'successful' integration. Key domains...
This paper uses the foundation of conceptual framework proposed by Ager and Strang (2004a, 2008) to reflect on focus findings papers in this special issue refugee integration other recent work. Arguing that ‘mid-level theory’ sort presented provides a strong basis for structuring academic debate dialogue with practitioners policymakers, we identify four key issues although some current interest warrant further attention. First, consider evidence from Europe elsewhere how prevailing notions...
Abstract This paper introduces super absorbent polymer valves and colorimetric sensing reagents as enabling components of soft, skin‐mounted microfluidic devices designed to capture, store, chemically analyze sweat released from eccrine glands. The valving technology enables robust means for guiding the flow an inlet location into a collection isolated reservoirs, in well‐defined sequence. Analysis these reservoirs involves color responsive indicator chloride concentration with formulation...
Research indicates that coactors performing cooperative tasks often exhibit spontaneous and unintended similarities in their physiological behavioral responses--a phenomenon referred to here as physio-behavioral coupling (PBC). The purpose of this research was identify contributors PBC; examine relationships between PBC, team performance, perceived attributes (e.g., cohesion, trust); compare a set time-series measures(cross-correlation [CC], cross-recurrence quantification analysis [CRQA],...
Abstract Merrigan, JJ, Strang, A, Eckerle, J, Mackowski, N, Hierholzer, K, Ray, NT, Smith, R, Hagen, JA, and Briggs, RA. Countermovement jump force-time curve analyses: reliability comparability across force plate systems. J Strength Cond Res 38(1): 30–37, 2024—Considering the growing prevalence of commercial plates providing automated analyses, understanding levels agreement systems is warranted. (CMJ) metrics Vald ForceDecks (FD), Hawkin Dynamics (HD), Sparta Science (SS) were compared....
Sweat is a biofluid with several attractive attributes. However, investigation into sweat for biomarker discovery applications still in its infancy. To add support the use of as non-invasive media human performance monitoring, volunteer participants were subjected to physical exertion model using treadmill. Following exercise, was collected, aliquotted, and analyzed metabolite protein content via high-resolution mass spectrometry. Overall, proteomic analysis illustrates significant...
Abstract Monitoring of sentinel species provides insight into the ecosystems in which they live. In Southern Ocean, penguins are one such indicator species, where only a limited number colonies have been monitored extensively for decades around Antarctica. As Ocean warms and commercial fishing continues, need expansion population monitoring has become paramount. Using Adélie ( Pygoscelis adeliae ) as model we reviewed methods to estimate colony size including ground aerial (occupied...
Objective: To determine employers' (clinic based ATs) perceived satisfaction of the academic preparation entry-level ATs, and to identify inadequacies (ATEP) curriculum. Design Setting: Athletic trainers employed in clinical setting completed an online survey instrument. Subjects: One-hundred-four ATs serving NATA defined employment who had supervised employee. Measurements: Participants evaluating their employee's didactic for on a 4-point scale 34 statements 5-point Likert ascertain across...
Introduction: The aim was to determine reliability and validity of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) compared dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Methods: Participants (n=93) were fasted euhydrated (confirmed with urine specific gravity, USG) underwent anthropometrics, DEXA scan (GE Prodigy), three repeated trials on each BIA device (i.e., InBody 770, SECA mBCA 514, FitTrack). A subset participants (n=36) re-tested 12-weeks later investigate longitudinal changes. Results: All...
Cyber security has been a growing focus within the human factors community. Over last several years, human-centered cyber research provided valuable insights into cognitive and collaborative work operations, but largely ignored how genesis, intentions, methods outcomes of attacks impact human-related outcomes. Leveraging from other, more technologically focused communities, goal this paper is to synthesize previous present unified, descriptive framework attacks. Our framework, which consists...
Postural stability is critical for our ability to engage in other behaviors and can be influenced by several factors, including changes optic flow. In situations where postural degraded prolonged periods of time, motion sickness commonly results. The current research examined how the complexity a stimulus coupling actions participant sway sickness. Differences incidence characteristics emerged across conditions. particular, participants who became sick was characterized increases magnitude...
Due to increased interest in the use of excreted sweat for biomarker discovery, data must be generated supporting sample collection and handling methods allow controlled, large-scale discovery studies performed. In this manuscript, twelve amino acids were quantitated from exercise-induced held at room temperature or a simulated body 37 °C up 90 min. The illustrate large dynamic range exists among sweat. Additionally, acid quantities vary across individuals same individual under different...
Abstract Achieving military mission objectives requires high levels of performance from Airmen who operate under extreme physical and cognitive demands. Thus, there is a critical need to establish scientific interventions enhance fitness performance—promoting the resilience aiding in success. We therefore conducted comprehensive, 12-week randomized controlled trial active-duty Air Force ( n = 148) compare efficacy multimodal intervention comprised high-intensity interval aerobic strength...
Nonlinear time-series measures provide an opportunity to examine temporal structure in team communications. In this experiment, Recurrence Quantification Analysis (RQA), a nonlinear measure that quantifies visual patterns recurrence plots, was applied verbal communication utterances produced 5-person air defense simulation. Communication were analyzed with three coding schemes – position, semantic content, and combined. No differences RQA percent determinism (%DET) driven by experimental...
As the demand for real-time exercise performance feedback increases, excreted sweat has become a biosource of interest continuous human assessment. For to truly fulfill this requirement, analyte concentrations must be normalized adequately assess day-to-day differences within and among individuals. In manuscript, data are presented highlighting use accurate localized rate as means ion global metabolomic normalization. The results illustrate large variability individuals over course two...
Communication is inherent to team coordination and performance. Nonlinear time-series measures, such as Sample Entropy (SEn), provide the opportunity examine temporal structure of communication. The aim for this experiment was develop a method applying SEn set categorically coded sequential verbal communications recorded during dyadic Air Battle Management (ABM) simulation. Results showed that deterministic regularity detected in communication three categorical coding schemes applied data –...
In today's high-intensity Air Force (AF) operations, Airmen are often required to perform demanding cognitive and physical tasks simultaneously, or in close concert (e.g., AF Explosive Ordinance Disposal) [1]. However, most training programs [e.g., squadron (PT)] do not account for these operational requirements, thus may optimally instill the combined skills that of their jobs efficiently effectively. To address this issue, we have initiated a research development program seeks create...
