Towards the Real-Life EEG Applications

Author(s):

Electroencephalogram (EEG) is one of the most popular approaches for brain monitoring in many research fields. While the detailed working flows for in-lab neuroscience-targeted EEG experiments conditions have been well established, carrying out EEG experiments under a real-life condition can be quite confusing because of various practical limitations. This chapter gives a brief overview of the practical issues and techniques that help real-life EEG experiments come into being, and the well-known artifact problems for EEG. As a guideline for performing a successful EEG data analysis with the low-electrode-density limitation of portable EEG devices, recently proposed techniques for artifact suppression or removal are briefly surveyed as well.

The aim of the article is to show how external factors influence social reality, what changes are taking place in public consciousness. One of the big factors was the COVID-19 pandemic and its attendant consequences. Complex, intricate dramatic processes are taking place that directly affect the real life of both people and communities and states. These changes, first of all, influenced the economic situation and hence, in general, the very social reality. The work uses the methods of comparative studies, phenomenology, hermeneutics. and a statistical approach to data analysis.

Learning contextual on IPA is learning of nature science who insists on the links between matter learning of surely clear. This study attempts to described and analyze learning model contextual IPA in SDN sumurjalak 2 plumpang, described and analyze outdoor learning in SDN sumurjalak 2 plumpang , and described and analyze learning model contextual IPA through outdoor learning in SDN sumurjalak 2 plumpang .This study adopted qualitative approaches that uses the design cases. The data collection was done through technique interview, observation, and documentation. Technique data analysis covering reduction data, presentation of data, and the withdrawal of conclusion. Informants in this research among others Headmaster, teachers, and school tuition. The results of research has done shown that: ( 1 ) learning science using contextual learning model it can enhance understanding drafts participants students.In learning use contextual teachers capable of mengondisikan students by stressing towards the process of full involvement students to own mengkostruksikan matter learned and connecting with the real life causing students to can use them in their lives.( 2 ) outdoor approach learning is an alternative to science suitable learning adventure and observation directly in the real environment around with link science, environment, and the technology.( 3 ) contextual learning model in learning science capable of learning constructive provides science and give meaningful study results for learners.Students can find arrange their own that they can be meaningful and unforgetable. Students get easier to understand the content of learning, they also have higher critical thinking and creative on question and answer session in learning science.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Hypoglycemia is the most common acute complication in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Episodes of mild or moderate hypoglycemia should be treated in adults with a dose of around 15–20 g fast-acting carbohydrates. However, this self-treatment of hypoglycemia in real-life condition is not well documented. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> The aim of this study wasto determine the characteristics of hypoglycemia treatment in adults with T1D in a prospective study design. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Individuals with T1D were advised to record information related to hypoglycemia episodes for a period of 14 days. Quantity and quality (including glycemic index [GI] and glycemic load) of carbohydrates consumed in every hypoglycemia episode and others factors related with hypoglycemia such as physical activity, fear of hypoglycemia, or hypoglycemia awareness were analyzed. <b><i>Results:</i></b> A total of 93 individuals (36.5 ± 16.2 years old, BMI of 24.9 ± 3.8 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, diabetes duration of 14.9 ± 10.4 years, and HbA1c levels of 7.3 ± 0.8%) were included in the study. A total of 483 episodes of mild or moderate hypoglycemia were reported, which supposed on average 2.7 ± 2.0 episodes a week. The quantity of carbohydrates consumed in all episodes of hypoglycemia was 25.9 ± 9.2 g. GI of food consumed in all episodes of hypoglycemia was classified as low (53.9 ± 8.3). Overtreatment of hypoglycemia, defined as ingestion of more than 20 g of carbohydrates, occurred in 50.3% of hypoglycemic episodes; even 22.3% of these episodes were treated with more than 30 g of carbohydrates. Fruit juice was the most popular option, chosen in almost 70% of the events. In addition, we observed other moderate or low GI foods such as milk, bread, cookies, and bakery products among the most consumed foods. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> A majority of the studied individuals with T1D does not manage hypoglycemia according to current American Diabetes Association guidelines, in most cases by overtreating, choosing foods with low glycemic effect, and not varying the dose of carbohydrates, depending on the physical activity performed.

Sensitive skin Syndrome (SSS) is a complex global clinical phenomenon that is defined by the self-reported presence of different sensory perceptions, including tightness, stinging, burning, tingling, pain and pruritus and often without objective signs. Due to the subjective nature of this clinical condition, the diagnosis is complex and there is often a disconnect between what subjects feel and what medical professionals can observe. This chapter reviews the known underlying physiology, some of the triggering factors associated with SSS, co-morbidities as well as the psychological impact on individuals suffering from this condition. The goal is to bridge the gap between the physicians’ understanding and the subjects’ perceptions of this real-life condition that affects so many.

 The 4-H Citizenship Project offers the opportunity to help 4-H members relate all of their 4-H projects and experiences to the world around them. The 4-H Citizenship manuals will serve as a guide for 4-H Citizenship experiences. To be truly meaningful to the real-life needs and interests of your group, the contribution of volunteer leaders is essential. Each person, neighborhood, and community has individual needs that you can help your group identify. This 14-page major revision of Unit IV covers the heritage project. Written by John Rutledge, Joy C. Jordan, and Dale Pracht and published by the UF/IFAS Extension 4-H Youth Development program. https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/4h019
