Background: Young adults with autism often have problems with body awareness, also acknowledged by physiotherapists. This may interfere with various physiological and psychological responses, expressed in reduced movement quality. Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) may be suitable to address these difficulties, to enhance body awareness and movement quality to manage everyday life. Body Awareness

With the onset of climate change, adaptive action must occur at all scales, including locally, placing increasing responsibility on the public. Effective communication strategies are essential, and adaptation games have shown potential in fostering social learning and bridging the knowledge-action gap. However, few research efforts so far give voice to participants that engage with collaborative g

Background: Autistic persons exhibit poorer body awareness than neurotypical persons. Movement quality may be regarded as an expression of body awareness. Therefore, sound assessments of movement quality are essential to make reliable decisions about body awareness interventions.Purpose: To assess measurement properties of the Body Awareness Scale Movement Quality (BAS MQ) in persons on the autism

Incorporating fused benzene rings in backbones of anion conducting polymers may improve the properties of anion exchange membranes (AEMs). Here, we haveprepared and studied ether-free AEMs based on poly(arylene piperidinium)s containing up to 50% phenanthrene units. A series of terpolymers were prepared in superacid-mediated polyhydroxyalkylations of phenanthrene, p-terphenyl and N-methylpiperidon

Alkaline electrochemical energy conversion devices generally require anion exchange membranes (AEMs) which combine limited water uptake and swelling with high hydroxide conductivity and high resistance against attack by the ubiquitous hydroxide ions. In this context, zwitterionic AEMs may offer distinct possibilities to tune AEM properties in relation to purely cationic AEMs. Here, we report on th

On the basis of ethnographic fieldwork in Singapore, the article explores the tension between children's academic success and emotional wellbeing, and the ways in which middle-class parents navigate these conflicting aspirations.

This paper explores the dilemmas of upward social mobility from the perspective of opting out of conventional middle-class aspirations in search of better lives. East Asian education systems are globally renowned for their high academic standards and for producing students who score at the top on international assessment tests and rankings.

This introductory chapter argues that attention to the contemporary contexts in which Bibles abide provides a chance but also a challenge for biblical scholarship. It discusses the broader concerns at play in taking contemporary contexts seriously for any and all biblical interpretation, before turning to Contextual Bible Study as a specific approach to reading the Bible. The chapter foregrounds h

Although the information obtained from in vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) presents a complex-valued spectrum, spectral quantification generally employs linear combination model (LCM) fitting using the real spectrum alone. There is currently no known investigation comparing fit results obtained from LCM fitting over the full complex data versus the real data and how these resulAlthough the information obtained from in vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) presents a complex-valued spectrum, spectral quantification generally employs linear combination model (LCM) fitting using the real spectrum alone.

The Early and Middle Neolithic (3500–2300 [Before Current Era] BCE) Pitted Ware Culture (PWC) was a critical component of the historical trajectory of Scandinavia’s maritime history. The hunter-gatherer societies of the PWC were highly adapted to maritime environments, and they fished, hunted, travelled, and traded across great distances over water. Exactly what boat types they used, however, is s

Surface-subsurface flow models for hydrological applications solve a coupled multiphysics problem. This usually consists of some form of the Richards and shallow water equations. A typical setup couples these two nonlinear partial differential equations in a partitioned approach via boundary conditions. Full interaction between the subsolvers is ensured by an iterative coupling procedure. This can

Code review occupies a significant amount of developers’ work time and is an established practice in modern software development. Despite misaligments between users’ goals and the code review tools and processes pointed out by recent research, the code review tooling has largely stayed the same since the early 90s. Improving these tools, even slightly, has the potential for a large impact spread o

In this study, we contribute to research on the history of entrepreneurshipeducation scholarship in the 1990s and early 2000s byfocusing on the Internationalizing Entrepreneurship Education andTraining Conference (IntEnt conference). Acknowledging the pioneeringinitiative of the IntEnt conference in a formative phase ofthe development of entrepreneurship as a teaching subject, ourstudy delves into

Rationale: Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a life-threatening manifestation of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV). The PEXIVAS (Plasma Exchange and Glucocorticoids in Severe Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody-Associated Vasculitis) (NCT00987389) trial was the largest in AAV and the first to enroll participants with DAH requiring mechanical ventilation. Objectives
