Enhancing hydrogel predictive modeling: an augmented neural network approach for swelling dynamics in pH-responsive hydrogels
No full textAbstract
The pH-sensitive hydrogels play a crucial role in applications such as soft robotics, drug delivery, and biomedical sensors, as they require precise control of swelling behaviors and stress distributions. Traditional experimental methods struggle to capture stress distributions due to technical limitations, while numerical approaches are often computationally intensive. This study presents a hybrid framework combining analytical modeling and machine learning (ML) to overcome these challenges. An analytical model is used to simulate transient swelling behaviors and stress distributions, and is confirmed to be viable through the comparison of the obtained simulation results with the existing experimental swelling data. The predictions from this model are used to train neural networks, including a two-step augmented architecture. The initial neural network predicts hydration values, which are then fed into a second network to predict stress distributions, effectively capturing nonlinear interdependencies. This approach achieves mean absolute errors (MAEs) as low as 0.031, with average errors of 1.9% for the radial stress and 2.55% for the hoop stress. This framework significantly enhances the predictive accuracy and reduces the computational complexity, offering actionable insights for optimizing hydrogel-based systems

Communication about sexuality for adolescents with cerebral palsy and complex communication needs: A scoping review with framework synthesis
No full textAbstractAimTo understand communication about sexuality for adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) and complex communication needs.MethodWe systematically searched primary research on adolescents aged 10 to 24 years with CP and/or complex communication needs. We coded the primary evidence against themes derived from a theoretical framework analysis. Consumer research partners were involved throughout.ResultsMost of the 16 identified papers described adolescents with CP who could speak. While these adolescents engaged in some discussions with peers about sexuality, they also reported an absence of desired communication with peers and health professionals. The evidence about adolescents with complex communication needs centred on communication with teachers and parents or carers, and on vulnerability to abuse and socially appropriate masturbatory behaviours, rather than positive aspects of sexuality.InterpretationGiven the complexity of their disabilities, adolescents with CP and complex communication needs probably require support to understand and express themselves as sexual and gendered beings. Our findings reveal a sexuality evidence base that fails to address the needs of adolescents with CP during this critical life phase, emphasizing the need for more inclusive, communication‐aware sexuality research

Exploring children’s meaning-making as they interact with digital artworks through play at a museum exhibition
No full textMany museums have begun to integrate digital technologies as a way of providing opportunities for children to play, explore, and make meaning of artworks. However, little is known about the specific ways children interact with digital artworks in museum spaces. This paper presents findings from a study that explored young children’s interactions with digital artworks at the

exhibition, held at ACMI (formerly known as the Australian Centre for the Moving Image) in Melbourne, Victoria. Data was collected from 22 Years one and two children, aged 6–8 years, from a primary school located in regional Victoria. Qualitative data were generated from video recordings of children’s verbal and non-verbal interactions as they engaged with the digital artworks, researcher observations, and focus groups with the children after the exhibition. Transcripts of children's interactions were deductively coded for pretend play abilities and play elements. Three main themes were identified in relation to the contexts in which the children interacted with the artworks: (1) as individuals, (2) with their peers about the artwork, and (3) as characters within the artwork. Findings showed the different play elements and pretend play abilities evident as the children interacted with the selected artworks. The findings highlight the unique ways to observe, document and analyse children’s interactions and meaning making as they participate in museum spaces, and adds insights into the growing body of research around the affordances of digital museum spaces in fostering children’s learning through play, particularly pretend play
