Biological Signals

Microstratigraphy — the sequencing of detailed biological signals on site — is an important new approach being developed in the Çatalhöyük project. Here the authors show how microscopic recording of the strata and content of widespread middens on the tell are revealing daily activities and the selective employment of plants in houses and as fuel. Here we continue to witness a major advance in the practice of archaeological investigation.

This chapter examines how social and economic changes of recent years have led to a new consumer profile. Furthermore, it explores how current responsible concerns regarding consumption, as well as a greater concern for welfare sustainability and the environment, are affecting purchasing behavior. With these ideas in mind, this chapter analyses how organizations have to evolve towards a new marketing paradigm in order to link to their customers emotionally. In this regard, the evolution of the marketing concept is reviewed—departing from a Marketing 1.0 paradigm, passing through a Marketing 2.0 paradigm—in order to understand how the so-called Marketing 3.0 emerged. The chapter concludes by analyzing the different rules that guide this new approach and how companies in the distribution sector are applying them in their daily activities.

Function Assessment

Ongoing spirometry quality standards are difficult to bring into the daily routine of general practice. As a result, spirometry is rarely performed by primary care physicians. A new approach is proposed: exclusion spirometry. Acceptable and reproducible results are sought. However, the goal of the test is to try to reach values within normal limits, even if results do not reach quality standards. Normal results would be sufficient to exclude respiratory impairment, except in asthma. Abnormal results would require further testing in a diagnostic spirometry laboratory. The aim of the initiative is to enhance the compliance of general practitioners in using spirometers for screening.

The phenomenon of the need to complement the daily activities of urban communities in an area need to be responded to in a design strategy that can resolve various kinds of conflicts. This is happening in Jakarta where there were still problems with the lack of public space facilities that not reach the residential area. The issue that the region has its characteristics that also raises a variety of activities in addition to daily routine activities in the form of a variety of entertainment activities, commerce, and even some activities accommodate various events. The purpose of this study is to raise public space as a unifying space or transition from routine home (first place) and work (second place). Cross, trans, and dis programming methods are used by not eliminating or changing things that are already characteristic of the region, by studying activities that might be reactivated and then simulated, hypothetically Pasar Baru can play a role in realizing physical identity as the old city to continue to live and be sustainable. The step used is to insert certain events in an empty slot in a year with the program insertion method. The findings are that program events can continue to be connected at all times through embedded programs. The results of this third place project show that architecture can contribute to the development of the program. Keywords:  Program; Third Place; Transition AbstrakFenomena kebutuhan akan pelengkap aktivitas keseharian masyarakat kota di suatu daerah perlu untuk direspon ke dalam strategi desain yang dapat menyelesaikan berbagai macam konflik. Hal tersebut tentunya terjadi di kota Jakarta yang masih terdapat masalah minimnya fasilitas ruang publik dan kurang menjangkau area permukiman. Isu bahwa wilayah memiliki karakteristiknya sendiri yang juga memunculkan berbagai aktivitas selain kegiatan rutinitas sehari-hari berupa ragam kegiatan hiburan, niaga, bahkan ada kegiatan yang menampung berbagai event/acara-acara menjadi latar belakang studi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengangkat ruang publik sebagai ruang pemersatu atau transisi dari rutinitas rumah (first place) dan pekerjaan (second place). Metode programming cross, trans, dan dis digunakan dengan tidak menghilangkan atau mengubah secara total berbagai hal yang sudah menjadi karakteristik dari kawasan, dengan cara mempelajari aktivitas-aktivitas yang mungkin bisa diaktifkan kembali lalu disimulasikan. Secara hipotesis Pasar Baru dapat berperan kembali mewujudkan identitas fisik sebagai kota lama agar dapat terus hidup dan berkesinambungan. Langkah yang digunakan yaitu menyisipkan event tertentu pada celah yang kosong dengan metode penyisipan program. Temuannya berupa event program dapat terus terhubung di setiap waktu melalui program-program yang disisipkan. Hasil proyek tempat ketiga ini menunjukkan bahwa arsitektur dapat turut serta berkontribusi dalam mengupayakan pengembangan program.

The Impact

Abstract Tuberculosis (TB) is still a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The impact on patient’s life is significant, leading to physical, mental and social deconditioning, not only in active TB but also in post TB sequela. Although with specific antituberculous treatment sputum negativity can be achieved, TB extrapulmonary symptoms such as cachexia, muscle weakness and depression may persist for a long time. The pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) may be a useful tool in this patient’s therapy in active and also in sequela phase. The benefits of PR are: reducing symptomatology, improving the degree of functional independence and quality of life, and increasing the ability to perform daily activities. This article discusses the components of a PR programme in active TB and TB sequela, and the results obtained by studies so far.

Arthritic Knee

Current total knee replacements solve the problem of arthritic knee joints, but the evidence is that normal patterns of knee motions are not restored (1) In addition; paradoxical anterior sliding of the femur on the tibia can occur in the first half of the flexion range (2). Achieving natural motion is likely to be important for daily activities which involve higher angles of flexion, in terms of restoring normal soft tissue lengths and patello-femoral mechanics. Studies have shown the damaging effects of anterior femoral slide on the tibia affecting both the patella and the patellar tendon (3). Our paper examines new knee replacement designs which incorporate geometrical features to regain anatomical knee motion.

Purpose To compare ultrasound (US) measurements in the sagittal and axial plane of the plantar aponeurosis (PA) in healthy subjects. Materials and Methods PA thickness was measured in 40 healthy subjects (mean age: 34 years) by two radiologists using US in sagittal, axial medial and axial lateral planes. Subjects were classified according to gender (female and male) and age (18 – 35 versus 50 – 75 years). All measurements were compared and the interobserver agreement was calculated. Results The PA was medially significantly thicker than laterally (mean ± std 3.1 ± 0.7 mm versus 2.5 ± 0.5 mm respectively, P< 0.001). A significant difference was found between males and females (3.3 ± 0.7 mm versus 2.9 ± 0.6 mm medially and 2.7 ± 0.6 mm versus 2.3 ± 0.4 mm laterally, p < 0.05) and between the older and younger age groups (3.8 ± 0.6 mm versus 2.8 ± 0.4 mm medially and 3.1 ± 0.4 mm versus 2.3 ± 0.4 mm laterally, p < 0.001). Good interobserver agreement was detected (0.74). Conclusion Measurement of central and lateral fascicles of the plantar aponeurosis in both planes (sagittal and axial) is recommended in the daily routine. Key points  Citation Format

A lot has been said about the digital natives and their natural way of integrating the internet in their daily activities. Millennials have been considered a unique segment of consumers by researchers and practitioners alike, due to their ability and propensity to adopt and adapt new media to their daily routine. Although it is expectable that they are particularly keen on embracing IoT, extant literature is scarce on their views on the adoption of IoT to their home, work, and leisure activities. In this chapter, the authors analyze the potential of the millennial segment to IoT products and services. Results of a qualitative study with Portuguese consumers are included and provide interesting cues to marketers working with IoT offers.

Idiopathic Disease

  Depression is one of the most debilitating medical conditions in the world today, yet its etiologies remain imprecise, and current treatments are not wholly helpful. Depression is more than just a feeling of sadness. Depression can affect the daily routine of an individual disrupting work, play, and overall ability to concentrate. People with depression usually experience a lack of interest and enjoyment in daily activities, notable weight loss or gain, sleeplessness or excessive sleeping, lack of energy, inability to concentrate, feelings of worthlessness or shame, and recurrent thoughts of suicide (diagnostic and statistical manual-V). It is projected to be the second leading cause of disability worldwide by 2020. It is estimated that depression currently affects 350 million people from around the world. There are a number of drugs of different pharmacological classes being used in the treatment of clinical depression. Animal models are indispensable tools in the search to identify new antidepressant drugs and to provide insights into the neuropathology that underlies the idiopathic disease state of depression. Animal models of depression can be used for a variety of purposes, including use as a tool for investigating aspects of the neurobiology and pathophysiology of depression, as an experimental model for studying the mechanism of action of antidepressant drugs and for screening antidepressant activity. None of existing animal models currently fulfil the existing criteria for an ideal animal model, and therefore, demands an insight view of the existing models of depression. This article attempts to review the most widely used animal models and highlights their important features with respect to different pharmacological classes of antidepressant drugs.
