    The use of puppets in children's grief groups: an exploratory study

    No full text
    Plan BThis exploratory study examines the effectiveness of children in grief groups using puppetry as a therapeutic tool. It addresses the following three specific questions: 1.) What types of feeling words do the children use when they act as puppeteer? 2.) Do children use more feeling words to express their grief when they use act as puppeteer versus when a facilitator acted as puppeteer? 3.) How can puppetry be used to develop new ways of helping bereaved children heal? In the review of the literature, these questions are examined by looking at how children grieve; therapeutic interventions currently used; how the cognitive and developmental stage of the child affects their grieving; the family dynamics of grieving; as well as the major contributions of play therapy and puppetry as therapeutic interventions. An example application of this therapeutic intervention is applied and reviewed. Finally, suggestions are made for further research in this area

    Hug Over a Distance

    No full text
    People in close relationships, who are separated by distance, often have difficulty expressing intimacy adequately. Based on the results of an ethnographic study with couples, a prototype was developed to test the feasibility of technology in the domain of intimacy. Hug Over a Distance is an air-inflatable vest that can be remotely triggered to create a sensation resembling a hug. Although the couples did not consider the vest to be useful in their daily lives, the prototype served to provoke and stimulate design ideas from the couples during participative design workshops. An additional and unexpected benefit was also found: the prototype enhanced the couples’ understanding of the researchers ’ methods, suggesting that prototypes can serve as tools to make participatory design volunteers aware of their importance in academic research.

    The Hug-up Test: A New, Sensitive Diagnostic Test for Supraspinatus Tears

    Background: The supraspinatus tendon is the most commonly affected tendon in rotator cuff tears. Early detection of a supraspinatus tear using an accurate physical examination is, therefore, important. However, the currently used physical tests for detecting supraspinatus tears are poor diagnostic indicators and involve a wide range of sensitivity and specificity values. Therefore, the aim of this study was to establish a new physical test for the diagnosis of supraspinatus tears and evaluate its accuracy in comparison with conventional tests. Methods: Between November 2012 and January 2014, 200 consecutive patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy were prospectively evaluated preoperatively. The hug-up test, empty can (EC) test, full can (FC) test, Neer impingement sign, and Hawkins-Kennedy impingement sign were used and compared statistically for their accuracy in terms of supraspinatus tears, with arthroscopic findings as the gold standard. Muscle strength was precisely quantified using an electronic digital tensiometer. Results: The prevalence of supraspinatus tears was 76.5%. The hug-up test demonstrated the highest sensitivity (94.1%), with a low negative likelihood ratio (NLR, 0.08) and comparable specificity (76.6%) compared with the other four tests. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the hug-up test was 0.854, with no statistical difference compared with the EC test (z = 1.438, P = 0.075) or the FC test (z = 1.498, P = 0.067). The hug-up test showed no statistical difference in terms of detecting different tear patterns according to the position (χ2 = 0.578, P = 0.898) and size (Fisher′s exact test, P > 0.999) compared with the arthroscopic examination. The interobserver reproducibility of the hug-up test was high, with a kappa coefficient of 0.823. Conclusions: The hug-up test can accurately detect supraspinatus tears with a high sensitivity, comparable specificity, and low NLR compared with the conventional clinical tests and could, therefore, improve the diagnosis of supraspinatus tears in clinical settings

    Comparative effect of mother�s hug and massage on neonatal pain behaviors caused by blood sampling: A randomized clinical trial

    No full text
    Background: The early experience of pain can lead to complications such as tachycardia, tachypnea and increased metabolic needs of the body, thereby exacerbation of the behavioral and physiological responses to pain in neonates. The current study aimed to compare the effect of a mother�s hug and massage on pain behaviors during and after blood sampling in neonates. Method: This study was a randomized clinical trial. A total of 135 healthy full-term neonates were selected by convenience sampling method. Samples were randomly assigned to a mother�s hug group, massage group or control group. In all three groups, the behavioral responses of the neonate were measured and recorded before, immediately and 5 min after blood sampling by Neonatal Infant Pain Scale. Heart rate, respiratory rate and blood oxygen saturation were recorded with pulse oximetry, and the crying period was measured from start to silence using a stopwatch. Results: The results showed that after 5 min, the pain and heart rate in the mother�s hug group decreased significantly compared to the massage and control groups (p 0.05). The duration of crying in the mother�s hug group had more reduction than that of the massage and control groups (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The placement of the baby in the mother�s hug during painful procedures is recommended due to the reduction of pain, the improvement of physiological symptoms and the promotion of neonatal health. © The Author(s) 2020.

    VIBRATIONAL RAMAN OPTICAL ACTIVITY DUE TO ISOTOPE SUBSTITION

    No full text
    Author Institution:It is shown that the vibrational Raman optical activity (VROA) of molecules which owe their chirality to isotope substitution provides basic insight into the mechanisms responsible for the generation of it in general. The VROA spectra of molecules in which individual H atoms have been replaced by 0 atoms prove the chirality of the normal modes to be more important than a chiral distribution of the electrons at equilibrium. These experimental findings are confirmed by a detailed direct calculation of VROA spectra, notably of 1,3-didsuterioallene. Conclusions from experimental data drawn on the size of the relative contributions of the three invariants aG1aG^{1}, γA2\gamma ^{2}_{A} and γG2\gamma ^{2}_{G} to the VRDA [1] are likewise supported. A general rule for the VROA of electronically symmetric compounds is presented. [l] W. Hug and H. Surbeck, Chem. Phys, Letters 60, 186 (1979

    Strahlung von Sendeanlagen und Gesundheit : Bewertung von wissenschaftlichen Studien im Niedrigdosisbereich (Stand: Dezember 2012)

    This report updates the assessment of the health effects of high-frequency radiation based on newly published studies on human beings in the period from October 2006 to December 2012. It takes account of experimental field studies, epidemiological studies of population groups in their everyday environment and experimental studies with short-term exposure under controlled conditions in the laboratory, in which the influence of high-frequency radiation from fixed facilities such as broadcasting transmitters and mobile telephone base stations was studied. In the past six years, approximately 50 studies on this topic were published. Generally speaking, exposure to high-frequency radiation from fixed transmitters is pleasingly low, and at this exposure level no harmful effects on health have been scientifically established to date. In view of this, there is no call for a modification of the ambient limit values specified in the Ordinance relating to Protection from Non-Ionising Radiation (ONIR). With respect to the nonthermal effects of high-frequency radiation, there are still many gaps in scientific knowledge. In particular, there are almost no methodologically sound long-term observations. It is therefore not possible to make a reliable assessment of any potential longterm risks at this time, and consequently caution is called for, especially with regard to long-term exposure to high-frequency radiation
