Using subjective testing, we study the effect of the network parameters, delay and packet loss ratio, on the QoE of cloud gaming. We studied three different games, selected based on genre, popularity, content complexity and pace, and tested them in a controlled network environment, using a novel emulator to create realistic lognormal delay distributions instead of relying on a static mean delay, as used previously; we also used Parsec as a good representative of the state of the art. We captured user ratings on an ordinal Absolute Category Rating scale for three quality dimensions: Video QoE, Game-Playability QoE, and Overall QoE. We show that Mean Opinion Scores (MOS) for the game with the highest levels of content complexity and pace are most severely affected by network impairments. We also show that the QoE of interactive cloud applications rely more on the game playability than the video quality of the game. Unlike earlier studies, the differences in MOS are validated using the distributions of the underlying dimensions. A Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test showed that the distributions of Video QoE and Game Playability QoE are not significantly different.

AbstractThe Outcome Rating Scale (ORS) is an ultra-brief measure of well-being designed to track outcome in psychotherapy. This research studied the psychometric properties of the ORS in a Spanish clinical sample. One-hundred and sixty-five adult participants from different primary care centers of the city of Barcelona were recruited. The psychometric properties of the ORS in the sample were explored and described, comparing them to the properties of other instruments already validated in Spain. Our results showed good reliability (α = .91 [.88, .93]; α = .96; test re-test correlations from .61 to .84), good validity (convergent validity correlations with distress and symptoms measures from –.32 to –.76), and good sensitivity to change (pre-post comparison through Wilcoxon signed-rank test, Mdnpre = 31.0, Mdnpost = 19.6, z = –7.38, p < .05, r = .42). These results are consistent with previous findings in other countries. We conclude suggesting that the instrument can be applied to monitor outcome in psychotherapy and to test the effectiveness of treatments imparted with Spanish speaking clients. However, further research with the ORS in Spanish could provide more evidence of its psychometric properties.

Objective: Catatonia can be life-threatening unless timely identified and treated. Lorazepam’s ubiquitous response has led to its universal acceptance as being the first-line management of catatonia and alludes to catatonia’s neurobiological underpinnings. Lorazepam challenge test (LCT) is widely used to either confirm a catatonia diagnosis or determine lorazepam sensitivity. It has a proposed schedule for administering lorazepam. However, efficacy of recommended LCT doses lack systematic evidence, resulting in variable LCT doses used in clinical and research settings contributing to findings that are challenging to generalize or assist with developing standardized lorazepam treatment protocols for catatonia. Given the same, this study aimed to objectively compare the response between two groups receiving different LCT doses and factors influencing the same. Methods: The 6-month study in a psychiatric emergency setting at a tertiary neuropsychiatric center in India evaluated 57 catatonia patients, before and after administration of single 2 mg ( n = 37; LCT-2) or 4 mg ( n = 20; LCT-4) lorazepam dose, applying Bush Francis Catatonia Rating Scale (BFCRS), Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI 5.0) and obtaining sociodemographic, clinical data. Results: No between-group differences (LCT-2 vs LCT-4) for sociodemographic, clinical profiles or BFCRS severity score changes to lorazepam on Mann–Whitney U test were noted. Applying Wilcoxon signed rank test comparing individual sign severity demonstrated response variability, with significant response noted to both doses (stupor, mutism, staring, posturing, withdrawal, ambitendency, automatic obedience) and others selectively to 2 mg (echolalia, rigidity, negativism, mitgehen). Notably, sign resolution (present/absent) only to 2 mg was significant for stupor, mutism, staring, posturing, echolalia, rigidity, negativism and mitgehen. Conclusion: This study suggests 2 mg lorazepam may be an optimal LCT dose, given significant response to most catatonic signs thereby ensuring accurate detection and preventing misinterpretation of response. It offers future studies direction for standardizing lorazepam dosing schedules for catatonia management and exploring neurobiological underpinnings for individual catatonic signs that may be potentially different, given these findings.

Dismenore atau nyeri haid yaitu ketidaknyamanan yang sering dialami remaja khususnya perempuan. Dismenore pada remaja terjadi 60% - 90% dan mengganggu aktivitas sehari hari. (Lestari H. Metusala, J.&Suryanto, 2010). Dari hasil penelitian, di Indonesia angka kejadian dismenore sebesar 64,25%, diantaranya 54,89% dismenore primer, 9,36% dismenore sekunder (Ningsih 2011). Wanita membutuhkan obat untuk mengurangi rasa nyeri baik dengan farmakologi maupun non farmakologi. Pengobatan yang di butuhkan wanita yaitu pengobatan yang tidak bersifat invasive dan yang cocok dengan pasien nyeri yang memerlukan penanganan holistik untuk mengintervensi psikis serta mencegah terjadinya konsumsi obat-obatan analgetik yang tidak rasional, pengobatan tersebut yaitu hipnoterapi.( Lucas N.N&Sugianto,2017). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa efektifitas spiritual hipnoterapi terhadap penurunan disminore. Jenis Penelitian  ini adalah penelitian kuantitatif pra experimental dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Rancangan penelitian yang digunakan adalah one group pretest posttest, jumlah sampel 30 responden. Tekhnik sampling yang digunakan purposive sampling yang sesuai kriteria inklusi. Penelitian ini dilakukan bulan April sampai Oktober 2019. Intrumen yang digunakan adalah kuesioner penilaian nyeri Visual Analog Scale (VAS) dengan skala Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Hasil analisa data dengan Wilcoxon signed rank test didapatkan hasil p = 0,000<0,005 maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa spiritual hipnoterapi efektif dalam menurunkan nyeri dismenore pada mahasiswi Kebidanan. Dysmenorrhea or menstrual pain is discomfort that is often experienced by adolescents, especially women. Dysmenorrhea in adolescents occurs 60% - 90% and interferes with daily activities. (Lestari H. Metusala, J. & Suryanto, 2010). From the results of the study, in Indonesia the incidence of dysmenorrhea was 64.25%, including 54.89% of primary dysmenorrhea and 9.36% of secondary dysmenorrhea (Ningsih 2011). Women need drugs to reduce the pain, both with pharmacology and non-pharmacology, one of which is hypnotherapy. This study aims to analyze the spiritual effectiveness of hypnotherapy against decreasing dysminorrhea. This type of research is a pre-quantitative quantitative research with cross sectional approach. The research design used was one group pretest posttest, with a sample of 30 respondents. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling that matches the inclusion criteria. This research was conducted from April to October 2019. The instrument used was the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain assessment questionnaire with the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). The results of data analysis with the Wilcoxon signed rank test showed p = 0,000 <0.005, so it can be concluded that there is a meaningful effectiveness of spiritual hypnotherapy for the reduction of dysmenorrhea pain in Midwifery students.

Children with autistic disorder usually have some problems with their concentration. They feel difficult to focus in doing some tasks. Thus, it may have a huge impact when they are at school. This study  was aimed to determine the effects of lasy game in increasing autistic children’s  concentration level. This study used pre-experiment method with one group pretest-posttest design. Five children with autism in a therapy center were recruited as participants of this study. Independent variable is a game called lasy game and dependent variable is concentration level. Collecting data using an observation sheet (rating scale of concentration level) with statistic test using wilcoxon assigned rank test. The study result of Wilcoxon analysis Asymp. Sig (2 tailed) is 0,043, which can be said as a significant result because of Asymp Sig (2 tailed) 0,043 less than 0,05 (0,043< 0,05). This shows that there is a difference of concentration level between before and after the intervention of lasy game. It can be concluded from this research that the game has been produced for increasing concentration level among children with autistic disorder.

Abstract Objective Poor inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-specific reproductive knowledge is associated with concerns and medication noncompliance. Having shown an educational portal can improve knowledge, we evaluated its effectiveness for addressing IBD patients’ reproductive and medication concerns. Methods Adult IBD participants (aged 18 to 45 years) were invited to access an e-health portal providing information on heritability, fertility, surgery, pregnancy outcomes, delivery, postpartum, and breastfeeding in the context of IBD and IBD medications. At pre-, post-, and 6+-month postintervention, participants completed a questionnaire on IBD-specific pregnancy concerns, medication concerns from the Beliefs About Medicines Questionnaire (BMQ), and medication adherence via the Medication Adherence Rating Scale (MARS). The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare median differences between scores (95% confidence). Results Demographics for 78 (70.3%) participants completing postintervention questionnaires: median age 29.3 (interquartile range: 25.6 to 32.9) years; 54 (69.2%) Crohn’s disease; 21 (26.9%) ulcerative colitis; 63 (80.3%) females, 5 (7.9%) pregnant; and 19 (30.2%) previously pregnant. Postintervention, the median number of reproductive concerns decreased from 3 to 1, and remained stable 6+ months later (P &lt; 0.001*). The median BMQ score decreased from 28 to 25, and remained stable 6+ months later (P = 0.032*). Participants adherent to medications increased from 82.4% to 87.8% postintervention (P = 0.099). Conclusion Using an e-health portal may potentially reduce IBD-specific reproductive and medications concerns. An e-health portal is feasible as one component of managing IBD patient’s reproductive and medication concerns during preconception and pregnancy.
