Hope, Cat. "Electronic Scores for Music: The Possibilities of Animated Notation." Computer Music Journal 41, no. 3 (2017): 21–35. http://dx.doi.org/10.1162/comj_a_00427.
Full textAbstract:
This article argues that animated notations are the most exciting new direction for music notation since the conception of the real-time score. The real-time score revolutionized performance practices in new music, with the composer Gerhard E. Winkler calling it a “third way” between improvisation and fixed scores. Developing upon the idea of dynamic notation epitomized by the real-time score, animated notation features movement as its foundation, and may be presented as an interactive program, video, or application environment generated in real time or preset. It extends the possibilities presented by graphic notations, engaging the processing power of computing toward new complexities of shape, color, movement dynamics, form, synchronicity, and the very performability of music scores. Beginning with a brief historic overview of trends and background that may have informed the development of animated notation, I then examine contemporary practices and their application to a range of music. I will argue that animated notation brings particular benefits for scoring music featuring electronics and aleatoric elements.

Full textAbstract:
Background/Aims: Participant understanding is a key element of informed consent for enrollment in research. However, participants often do not understand the nature, risks, benefits, or design of the studies in which they take part. Research on medical practices, which studies standard interventions rather than new treatments, has the potential to be especially confusing to participants because it is embedded within usual clinical care. Our objective in this randomized study was to compare the ability of a range of multimedia informational aids to improve participant understanding in the context of research on medical practices. Methods: We administered a web-based survey to members of a proprietary online panel sample selected to match national US demographics. Respondents were randomized to one of five arms: four content-equivalent informational aids (animated videos, slideshows with voice-over, comics, and text) and one no-intervention control. We measured knowledge of research on medical practices using a summary knowledge score from 10 questions based on the content of the informational aids. We used analysis of variance and paired t-tests to compare knowledge scores between arms. Results: There were 1500 completed surveys (300 in each arm). Mean knowledge scores were highest for the slideshows with voice-over (65.7%), followed by the animated videos (62.7%), comics (60.7%), text (57.2%), and control (50.3%). Differences between arms were statistically significant except between the slideshows with voice-over and animated videos and between the animated videos and comics. Informational aids that included an audio component (animated videos and slideshows with voice-over) had higher knowledge scores than those without an audio component (64.2% vs 59.0%, p < .0001). There was no difference between informational aids with a character-driven story component (animated videos and comics) and those without. Conclusion: Our results show that simple multimedia aids that use a dual-channel approach, such as voice-over with visual reinforcement, can improve participant knowledge more effectively than text alone. However, the relatively low knowledge scores suggest that targeted informational aids may be needed to teach some particularly challenging concepts. Nonetheless, our results demonstrate the potential to improve informed consent for research on medical practices using multimedia aids that include simplified language and visual metaphors.

Introduction: Cases of anaphylaxis in children are often not appropriately managed by caregivers. We aimed to develop and to test the effectiveness of an education tool to help pediatric patients and their families better understand anaphylaxis and its management and to improve current knowledge and treatment guidelines adherence. Methods: The GEAR (Guidelines and Educational programs based on an Anaphylaxis Registry) is an initiative that recruits children with food-induced anaphylaxis who have visited the ED at the Montreal Children's Hospital and at The Children's Clinic located in Montreal, Quebec. The patients and parents, together, were asked to complete six questions related to the triggers, recognition and management of anaphylaxis at the time of presentation to the allergy clinic. Participants were automatically shown a 5-minute animated video addressing the main knowledge gaps related to the causes and management of anaphylaxis. At the end of the video, participants were redirected to same 6 questions to respond again. To test long-term knowledge retention, the questionnaire will be presented again in one year's time. A paired t-test was used to compare the difference between the baseline score and the follow-up score based on percentage of correct answers of the questionnaire. Results: From June to November 2019, 95 pediatric patients with diagnosed food-induced anaphylaxis were recruited. The median patient age was 4.5 years (Interquartile Range (IQR): 1.6–7.4) and half were male (51.6%). The mean questionnaire baseline score was 0.77 (77.0%, standard deviation (sd): 0.16) and the mean questionnaire follow-up score was 0.83 (83.0%, sd: 0.17). There was a significant difference between the follow-up score and baseline score (difference: 0.06, 95% CI: 0.04, 0.09). There were no associations of baseline questionnaire scores and change in scores with age and sex. Conclusion: Our video teaching method was successful in educating patients and their families to better understand anaphylaxis. The next step is to acquire long-term follow up scored to determine retention of knowledge.

ObjectiveWe examined Theory of Mind (ToM) abilities in adolescents with early-onset schizophrenia (EOS) and their correlation with clinical findings and Executive Functions (EF).MethodsThe ToM abilities of 12 adolescents with EOS were compared with those of healthy participants matched in age and educational level. The Moving Shapes Paradigm was used to explore ToM abilities in three modalities: random movement, goal-directed movement and ToM – scored on the dimensions of intentionality, appropriateness and length of each answer. EF was tested using Davidson’s Battery and the clinical psychopathology with the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS).ResultsAdolescents with EOS were significantly more impaired than controls in the three dimensions evaluated for the goal-directed and ToM modalities. Regarding the random movement modality, the only difference was in appropriateness (p<0.01). No correlation with age or level of education was evident for ToM skills. Total PANSS score was negatively correlated with appropriateness score for the goal-directed (p=0.02) and ToM modalities (p=0.01). No correlation existed between performance in the ToM Animated Tasks and positive, negative or disorganisation PANSS subscores. No correlations were found among the three scores in the Moving Shapes Paradigm and any measures of the accuracy of the three tasks assessing EF.ConclusionOur results confirm previous findings of ToM deficits in adult individuals with schizophrenia and attest the severity of these deficits in patients with EOS.

Full textAbstract:
The introduction of angklung music especially for deaf students is done by replacing numeric notes with various hand movements by the teacher. It takes two teachers to produce harmonious music with one teacher focusing on melody and the other teacher focusing on chords. However, hand movements are still limited to ordinary notes. The teacher's hand movements do not yet include the crescendo and decrescence notes. In addition, if one of the teachers is unable to attend, it cannot produce a harmonious music. To overcome this, multimedia-based angklung learning aids and android-based applications are made, where multimedia allows an angklung game to be carried out without the help of a trainer. So that it can replace the score that is usually designated by a trainer, it can be replaced with an animated color change (colouring score) when the angklung tone is played. In this study using the Development Research method, the procedures in this study are (1) determining the concept (concept), (2) Media Design (Design), (3) Material Collection (Material Collecting), (4) Manufacturing Process (Assembly) , and (5) (Testing) .In this study identified the needs of users (trainers and angklung players), designing application story boards that are used as a reference at the implementation stage.This learning activity does not replace the role of the trainer, but only as a media alternative in carrying out angklung training activities.

Full textAbstract:
Background Physical functioning of patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis is measured by self-report questionnaires and performance-based tests. However, performance-based tests often are not feasible. Objective The aim of this study was to develop a computer-administered questionnaire (ie, the Animated Activity Questionnaire [AAQ]) to measure physical functioning in patients with hip or knee OA. By showing animations of activities, the influence of the patient's own reference frame is minimized. The AAQ measures the same aspects of physical functioning as performance-based tests do. Design This was a development and preliminary validation (cross-sectional) study. Methods A pilot version of the AAQ was developed using motion capture to analyze the movement of a person performing 7 daily activities. Different animations of the same activity were made with 2 to 5 levels of difficulty. For each activity, participants were asked to choose one animation that best corresponds to their own way of performing the activity. A preliminary validation study was performed to compare the AAQ with validated self-report questionnaires (Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, and questionnaires on walking, stair climbing, and rising and sitting down) and performance-based tests (walking, Timed “Up & Go” Test, Timed Stair Test) in 33 patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis. Results As expected, the AAQ showed a correlation above .70 (.79, 95% confidence interval=.61–.89) with the total score of the performance-based tests. On the subscore level, the results were partly as expected. Fifty-eight percent of the participants preferred the AAQ over self-report questionnaires and performance-based tests. Limitations The findings need to be replicated in larger samples of patients because the sample size of the study was rather small. Conclusion The AAQ might be a good alternative for measuring physical functioning of patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis. The AAQ can easily be adapted for use in other patient populations. However, further development and validation are needed.

Objective: Developed and validate educational videos addressing the female and male indwelling catheterization techniques in adult patients.Methods: Methodological study divided into two stages: development and validation of a script and the filming, editing and validation of videos. The script was written in the storyboard format, which was validated by eight nurse experts using the Delphi technique. The educational videos were filmed according to this validated script and were validated by 71 undergraduate nursing students using a five-point Likert scale.Results: The final script was composed of eight items: concept, reasons, material, instructions, male and female indwelling catheterization, indwelling catheter care, and complications. Five rounds were needed for the script to be validated by experts, a process that lasted nine months. The scenes were filmed, edited and inserted in the animated texts. The final versions were watched by 71 first-year undergraduate nursing students from a public university located in São Paulo. The mean scores assigned by the students to the eight items were greater than four. The item that obtained the highest mean was “complications related to indwelling catheterization”, with a mean score of 4.80. The item with the lowest score was “reasons” with a mean of 4.38. Assessment of the set of items (“did you understand this video?”) also obtained a mean score of 4.38. Agreement among students was also significant (p < .001).Conclusions: The script was developed and validated by experts, while the educational videos that resulted from this script were validated by first-year undergraduate nursing students.

2067 Background: A patient’s understanding of surgery is often limited, especially in the setting of complex oncologic procedures. A recent review found that interventions such as the use of written materials, videos, and websites, improve patients’ knowledge of the procedure and their satisfaction with decision making. We sought to determine if a video-based approach in patients undergoing robotic endometrial cancer staging improves satisfaction with perioperative counseling. Secondary objectives were physician satisfaction, patient comprehension, and visit length. Methods: From 2018-2019, patients were randomized to standard physician education or multimedia-based education, which included watching two novel animated videos followed by focused physician counseling. Basic demographic information was collected. Patient satisfaction was assessed using the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8 (CSQ-8, a validated satisfaction survey, scored 8-32) and a global satisfaction score (10-point scale). Physician satisfaction was assessed using a global satisfaction score. Comprehension was assessed with a 9 question survey at 3 time points. Descriptive statistics were used to compare groups. Results: Of 76 patients randomized, the majority were Caucasian (68%), 50-70 years old (70%), and had at least some college education (75%). Most patients had undergone prior surgery (83%) and one fourth had a prior cancer diagnosis. Demographic variables and surgical history were similar between groups. The video patients reported higher satisfaction on the CSQ-8 (31.57 ± 1.02 vs 30.62 ± 2.09, p < 0.05) and global satisfaction score (9.95 ± 0.23 vs 9.74 ± 0.55, p < 0.05). There was no difference in comprehension scores between groups at either the initial or postoperative visit. At the time of surgery, comprehension scores were higher in the standard education group compared to the video group (p < 0.01). There was no difference in physician satisfaction between groups. Among the video group, there was improvement in physician satisfaction between the first and second half of patients enrolled (p < 0.05). There was no difference in visit length. Conclusions: While multimedia education improved patient satisfaction in the preoperative setting, this was not clinically significant. Provider satisfaction improved over time with the use of a video aid. Multimedia education may be implemented in perioperative counseling based on provider preference and consideration should be made for further study of satisfaction after the initial implementation period.

ObjectivesTo describe: (1) how we developed a concussion module and (2) whether the concussion module is feasible (in terms of relevance, added value and suitability) and enhances knowledge and changes attitude of professional footballers about concussion.Developing the concussion moduleWe developed the concussion module based on two structured and systematic processes. First, our needs assessment (questionnaire and interviews) in professional football (especially players) revealed that a 5–10 min concussion module was needed, ideally disseminated during club visits. Second, the objectives were defined (from published literature and by experts) as to disseminate essential information about what concussion is (definition), how to recognise it and the importance of removing a player with (suspected) concussion from the football field. We included an introductory video featuring a high-profile professional footballer and an animated educational component on defining concussion, recognising it and removing affected players from the field.Feasibility and effectA quasiexperimental study (pretest post-test design) was conducted among 61 professional footballers. These players were asked to complete two questionnaires related to knowledge about and attitude towards concussion and feasibility of the module: one before and one after viewing the concussion module. Potential increase in knowledge and attitude was explored by comparing the pretest and post-test scores of the Rosenbaum Concussion Knowledge and Attitudes Survey with the non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test (p<0.05). The mean knowledge score of the participants was stable between tests (Z=213; p=0.16), while mean attitude score increased significantly (Z=331; p=0.01). Nearly all participants (85%–100%) were positive about the relevance, added value, duration and form of the concussion module.ConclusionThe developed educational concussion module leads to better attitude of professional footballers towards concussion.

Full textAbstract:
Many people wishing to learn a musical instrument opt to learn using alternative or informal methods instead of the traditional Master–Apprentice model that requires a greater cognitive load. This paper presents an augmented reality (AR)-based application designed to teach and train guitar chords, with the novelty that it is also used to teach short melodies consisting of four chord transitions so that users have to change hand and finger positions. The app uses high-quality 3D models of an acoustic guitar and animated hand to indicate correct finger positions and the movements required when changing from one chord to another. To follow the animated instructions, the learner overlaps the 3D model onto the neck of the physical guitar and his or her own hand. A system usability scale (SUS) questionnaire was used to measure the usability of the application. A score of 82.0 was obtained, which is higher than the average of 68 points that indicates the application is good from a user experience perspective, thus satisfying the purpose for which it was created. Having analysed the data for both groups—individuals with no prior experience of playing a musical instrument versus individuals with prior experience—it was concluded that the application provided a useful learning approach for all participants involved in the study, regardless of experience. That said, those possessing prior experience of playing an instrument learnt faster. It should be noted that the research revealed significant difference in learning by gender, with male participants learning faster than female participants. Similar results have been detected in other research performed in the field of music, as well as in other fields. As this study required spatial reasoning when viewing the 3D model, the differences identified this case may well have arisen as a consequence of differences in men and women’s spatial awareness, thereby leaving open an alternative line of research.

low activity and student learning outcomes in a class are influenced by several factors, one of which is because the behavior and learning models used by the teacher are not yet correct in implementing a learning process. These problems can affect the activity and completeness of student learning outcomes, so there needs to be special instruments that make them more active, especially on the subject of biology which contains many scientific names such as on the subject of Plantae. The purpose of this study was to determine the collaboration of three discussion instruments with the task of learning media products in the form of power points to increase student activity and student learning outcomes of class X MIPA-1 on the subject of Plantae. This research method uses comparative descriptive analysis with a qualitative approach using simple formulas in the form of calculating averages and percentages. The results of this study indicate that the class average score is 83.64 with the completeness of learning outcomes 90.91% with this value the completeness criteria can be categorized as achieved with student activity increasing from 73.21% to 96.63% with the criteria categorized as very good

Full textAbstract:
When seeing people perform actions, we are able to quickly predict the action's outcomes. These predictions are not solely based on the observed actions themselves but utilize our prior knowledge of others. It has been suggested that observed outcomes that are not in line with these predictions result in prediction errors, which require additional processing to be integrated or updated. However, there is no consensus on whether this is indeed the case for the kind of high-level social–cognitive processes involved in action observation. In this fMRI study, we investigated whether observation of unexpected outcomes causes additional activation in line with the processing of prediction errors and, if so, whether this activation overlaps with activation in brain areas typically associated with social–cognitive processes. In the first part of the experiment, participants watched animated movies of two people playing a bowling game, one experienced and one novice player. In cases where the player's score was higher or lower than expected based on their skill level, there was increased BOLD activity in areas that were also activated during a theory of mind task that participants performed in the second part of the experiment. These findings are discussed in the light of different theoretical accounts of human social–cognitive processing.

DNA is a structurally plastic molecule, and its biological function is enabled by adaptation to its binding partners. To identify the DNA structural polymorphisms that are possible in such adaptations, the dinucleotide structures of 60 000 DNA steps from sequentially nonredundant crystal structures were classified and an automated protocol assigning 44 distinct structural (conformational) classes called NtC (for Nucleotide Conformers) was developed. To further facilitate understanding of the DNA structure, the NtC were assembled into the DNA structural alphabet CANA (Conformational Alphabet of Nucleic Acids) and the projection of CANA onto the graphical representation of the molecular structure was proposed. The NtC classification was used to define a validation score called confal, which quantifies the conformity between an analyzed structure and the geometries of NtC. NtC and CANA assignment were applied to analyze the structural properties of typical DNA structures such as Dickerson–Drew dodecamers, guanine quadruplexes and structural models based on fibre diffraction. NtC, CANA and confal assignment, which is accessible at the website https://dnatco.org, allows the quantitative assessment and validation of DNA structures and their subsequent analysis by means of pseudo-sequence alignment.

Released in September, 2020, Mulan, a live-action film starring Liu Yifei, was adapted by Disney from the Ballad of Mulan[1]. The film was produced from its animated version Mulan (1998) which hit global box office amounting to 304 million with marvelous reputation. However, the live-action movie Mulan did not continue the brilliant results of the previous work. Instead, Mulan (2020) disappointed most Chinese audience[2] because historical facts and cultural values about Mulan were excessively appropriated, rewritten and alienated. Applying theories of Postcolonialism, this essay analyzes the live-action movie Mulan revealing the ethnocentric abuse of the target culture as the “other”: arbitrary appropriation, rewriting and distortion of its historical events and traditional values. Also, theories of popular culture will be used to analyze the cultural industry strategies applied in this unsuccessful film.[1]the Ballad of Mulan (Chinese: 木兰辞; pinyin: Mù lán cí), a famous folk song of the Northern Dynasty in China.[2]The investment in the live-action film Mulan is as high as US$200 million (about 1.4 billion RMB). As a result, the global box office is less than US$70 million. Also, the score in Douban is only 5.0 points.

7040 Background: Many acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients harbor misunderstandings about their illness, overestimating both their likelihood of cure and risks of intensive therapies. Decision aids (DA) can improve illness understanding and reduce decisional conflict, but are not routinely used in AML. Methods: We developed an AML DA with input from patients, caregivers, clinicians, and laypersons, via the International Patient Decision Aids Standards (IPDAS) process. It includes 10 short animated videos with voiceovers, covering AML basics, etiology, outcomes, treatment paradigms, and risks/benefits of various treatment approaches. We enrolled 20 patients in a pilot feasibility and efficacy trial, with pre/post survey assessments of AML knowledge via an 18-item questionnaire, decisional conflict (Decisional Conflict Scale; DCS), anxiety (State Trait Anxiety Inventory, Short Form; STAI-6), and measures of DA usability and satisfaction. Results: Participants were a mean of 62.4 years old, 12 (60%) were male, 17 (85%) white, and 15 (75%) had newly-diagnosed disease. Mean time since AML diagnosis was 145 days (median 31; range 2-1092). 16 (80%) exhibited high-school-level understanding of medical terms per the REALM-SF, and participants on average exhibited moderate numeracy (mean score of 4.1 on the Subjective Numeracy Scale). All participants completed the study, exceeding our pre-determined feasibility threshold. AML knowledge scores generally improved, from a mean of 11.8 correct items on pre-test, to 15.2 on post-test assessment (p < 0.0001), with 80% of participants achieving improved scores. Struggles remained regarding patients’ understanding of the role that genetic tests play in AML care. There was no increase in anxiety after watching the videos, but decisional conflict was significantly reduced, from a mean of 28.5 at baseline to 22 in the post-test (p = .019). Participants reported high satisfaction and usability scores for the DA. Conclusions: Our AML decision aid exhibits favorable performance characteristics, with high satisfaction and usability, a marked increase in patient knowledge, and reduced decisional conflict. Further testing is warranted in a randomized trial. Clinical trial information: NCT03442452.

Full textAbstract:
During the pandemic babies should get breast milk because it has a high risk compared to the general population. Knowledge of lactation management during the pandemic is very necessary because it will determine the success of mothers in breastfeeding. However, in a pandemic situation direct counseling on lactation management cannot be done because it must keep a distance. Therefore, effective media is needed for counseling without making direct contact. The purpose of the research is to find out the most appropriate media to provide counseling on lactation management during the pandemic. This research is based on methods including correlation studies with quantitative approaches. Respondents in the study used 30 nursing mothers in Padengo Village and Poowo Village, Bone Bolango Gorontalo Regency. Respondents were taken randomly. The measuring instrument uses 30 questions that have been conducted validity and reliability tests. Respondents were given three different media for counseling on lactation management while breastfeeding, namely books, leaflets and powerpoints. Then knowledge is measured by questionnaires. As a result, the average knowledge of mothers who are given counseling using animated book media is better than leaflets and powerpoints. The results of the data analysis using Anova Test averaged the value of maternal knowledge given by the book media had the highest score of 23.90. Which means books are better for improving breastfeeding mothers' knowledge of lactation management compared to leaflets and powerpoints.

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of Kahoot! compared with a traditional teaching approach as a tool to summarize the essential content of a medical school class in the aspects of final examination scores and the perception of students regarding aspects of their learning environment and of process management. Methods This study used an interrupted time series design, and retrospective data were collected from 85 medical students. Of these 85 students, 43 completed a Kahoot! quiz, while 42 students completed a paper quiz. All students attended a lecture on the topic of bone and joint infection and participated in a short case discussion. Students from both groups received the same content and study material, with the exception that at the end of the lesson, students in the Kahoot! group completed a quiz summarizing the essential content from the lecture, whereas the other group received a paper quiz with the same questions and the teacher provided an explanation after the students had finished. The students’ satisfaction was evaluated after the class, and their final examination was held 2 weeks after the class. Results The mean final examination score in the Kahoot! group was 62.84 (SD 8.79), compared to 60.81 (SD 9.25) in the control group (P=.30). The students’ satisfaction with the class environment, learning process management, and teacher were not significantly different between the 2 groups (all P>.05). Conclusions In this study, it was found that using Kahoot! as a tool to summarize the essential content in medical school classes involving a lecture and case discussion did not affect the students’ final examination scores or their satisfaction with the class environment, learning process management, or teacher.

Purpose: Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is a distressing, underrecognized effect of treatment that can occur in up to 80% of patients. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to evaluate the impact of implementation of a standardized nausea assessment tool, the Baxter Animated Retching Faces (BARF) scale, on nursing compliance with nausea assessment and the frequency and severity of patient-reported CINV for children with cancer. Method: The Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle was used to implement this practice change. With stakeholder support and hospital governance council approval, the BARF scale was introduced into the electronic medical record. Nurses were provided education about the assessment tool and were given badge buddy cards to prompt use of the tool, and workstation reminders were created. A root cause analysis was conducted to provide feedback for continuous quality improvement. Results: Retrospective, aggregate electronic medical record data from May 2018 to April 2019 were analyzed for assessment compliance, total number of admissions with vomiting episodes, and average BARF score. Over the 12-month implementation period, run charts demonstrated a shift in nursing practice with increased compliance in documented nausea assessments during the second 6-month period. There was not a significant decrease in patient-reported CINV. Conclusion: The use of standardized nausea assessments based on patient self-reporting can provide useful and consistent feedback for nurses and health care providers. This quality improvement project demonstrated increased compliance with nausea assessment documentation. Further studies are needed to demonstrate that improvements in nausea assessment may reduce the frequency and severity of CINV.

Background:Adherence to prescribed urate-lowering therapy (ULT) among gout patients is considered to be among the poorest of all chronic conditions. eHealth programs can be a possible opportunity to foster ULT adherence.Objectives:This study describes the development and usability evaluation of a web-based tool to support ULT adherence among gout patients, specifically designed for a complement to usual care.Methods:The Integrated Change (I-Change) model was used as theoretical basis for the development. The model combines various socio-cognitive theories and differentiates between three phases: a pre-motivational, a motivational, and a post-motivational phase. In practices, the I-Change gout tool contains three sessions, following the three phases of the I-Change model. Patients receive tailored feedback based on their answers in the form of animated videos and text messages after each session, and are prompted to set specific goals and action plans for their ULT adherence. The content and development of the I-Change gout tool was determined along an iterative process within a steering group of clinicians and researchers, supported by patient interviews and gout specific literature related to key aspects of medication adherence behavior. A cross-sectional mixed methods design was used to test usability of the support tool consisting of a think aloud method and a usability questionnaire.Results:The steering group decided on the content of the three sessions of the I-Change gout tool. Depending on the intention to change ULT adherence behavior patients were navigated through the I-Change gout tool, patients with a low intention go through all 3 sessions and patients with a high intention go through the pre- and post-motivational session (figure 1). In total, the I-Change gout tool contains three sessions with 80 questions, 66 tailored textual feedback messages, and 40 tailored animated videos.Figure 1.Flowchart of the computer-tailored I-Change gout tool for urate-lowering therapy adherence.Twenty gout patients and seven healthcare professionals participated in the usability tests. The program end score rating for the gout tool was on average 8.4±0.9 (range 6-10) for patients and 7.7±1.0 (range 6-9) for healthcare professionals. Furthermore, participants reported a high intention to use and/or recommend the program in the future. Yet, participants identified some issues for further improvement of the systems user-friendliness by addressing barriers (e.g. more explicitly navigation) and weaknesses (e.g. technical and health literacy). The I-Change gout tool was updated according suggestions of improvements of the participants.Conclusion:This study provides initial support for the usability by patients and healthcare professionals of a ULT adherence I-Change gout tool. Further studies need to be conducted to assess its efficacy and (cost-) effectiveness in daily practice.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

SummaryBackground: Medical treatment in patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease is very difficult as dose-finding is mainly based on selective and subjective impressions by the physician.Objectives: To allow for the objective evaluation of patients’ symptoms required for optimal dose-finding, a telemonitoring system tracks the motion of patients in their surroundings. The system focuses on providing interoperability and usability in order to ensure high acceptance.Methods: Patients wear inertia sensors and perform standardized motor tasks. Data are recorded, processed and then presented to the physician in a 3D animated form. In addition, the same data is rated based on the UPDRS score. Interoperability is realized by developing the system in compliance with the recommendations of the Continua Health Alliance. Detailed requirements analysis and continuous collaboration with respective user groups help to achieve high usability.Results: A sensor platform was developed that is capable of measuring acceleration and angular rate of motions as well as the absolute orientation of the device itself through an included compass sensor. The system architecture was designed and required infrastructure, and essential parts of the communication between the system components were implemented following Continua guidelines. Moreover, preliminary data analysis based on three-dimensional acceleration and angular rate data could be established.Conclusion: A prototype system for the telemonitoring of Parkinson’s disease patients was successfully developed. The developed sensor platform fully satisfies the needs of monitoring patients of Parkinson’s disease and is comparable to other sensor platforms, although these sensor platforms have yet to be tested rigorously against each other. Suitable approaches to provide interoper-ability and usability were identified and realized and remain to be tested in the field.Citation: Piro NE, Baumann L, Tengler M, Piro L, Blechschmidt-Trapp R.

AbstractDespite their potential benefits, teacher-created animated cartoons have not found much room in second-language (L2) research, probably due to some technical challenges involved in creating them. This paper reports the findings of a mixed-methods embedded experimental study, designed to test the impact of tailor-made animated cartoons on the correct use of common punctuation rules in English. The participants were 112 Turkish-first language (L1) learners of English, assigned to either the treatment or control group through random cluster sampling. The instructional materials in the treatment group included teacher-created animated cartoons, exercises designed using SCORM-compliant software, and a forum for discussions in Moodle. The participants in the control group, on the other hand, used PowerPoint presentations (PPTs) instead of animated cartoons and completed the same follow-up activities. Quantitative results suggested that the treatment and control groups’ post-test and late post-test scores significantly differed in favour of the former. Moreover, qualitative data from semi-structured interviews and document analysis revealed that the participants, especially those in the treatment group, viewed this learning experience highly positively. The findings globally imply that tailor-made animated cartoons might facilitate the learning of punctuation and help raise students’ awareness of it.

Minimalist lines often show up in philosophical and theoretical writings to diagram accounts of human perspective. But they also show up to do the opposite: to diagram the possibility of structures that precede or exceed a human perspective. By inhabiting scored lines as bodies in performance and simultaneously imagining what it is to score these lines from above, choreography can animate philosophical and theoretical approaches to perspective to reveal how multiple even minimal lines can become.

Abstract The objective was to determine effects of interlocking rubber floor matting in slatted indoor cattle feeding facilities on cattle locomotion. In experiment 1, Fall-born Angus × Simmental steers (N = 206; BW = 228 ± 34 kg) were blocked by weight and assigned to 32 pens. Pens were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatments: new Max Grip Animat matting (MG), new Animat Pebble matting (PEB), old Animat Pebble matting (OLD), and no matting/concrete slating (CONC). Steers were fed a common diet for 209 d with an average stocking density of 3.70 m2 per steer. Locomotion scores were assigned by two trained staff using a 0–3 scale of the Step-Up® Locomotion Scoring System (Zinpro, Eden Prairie, MN) throughout both experiments. There was no treatment by day interaction (P = 0.88) observed. Treatment affected (P &lt; 0.01) locomotion scores with CONC being the greatest and MG, PEB, and OLD being lesser and not different from each other. Locomotion scores also increased (P &lt; 0.01) over time. In experiment 2, Fall-born Angus × Simmental steers (n = 189; BW = 352 ± 43 kg) were blocked by weight and assigned to 21 pens. Pens were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatments: new Animat Pebble matting (PEB2), old Animat Pebble matting (OLD2), or no matting/concrete slating (CONC2). Steers were fed a common diet for 152 d with an average stocking density of 2.64 m2 per steer. There was no treatment by day interaction (P = 0.42) observed. However, both treatment and day affected (P ≤ 0.02) locomotion scores. Steers on CONC2 had the greatest locomotion score, while PEB2 and OLD2 were not different from each other. Locomotion scores were the greatest on d 152. Overall, results suggest new and old rubber floor matting improved locomotion scores of feedlot steers in slatted indoor cattle feeding facilities.

<p><em>This research is based on the problems that occurred at SDN Margaluyu. Through observations that have been made at SDN Margaluyu that the learning process is less attractive without the use of media. The scores of students in social studies subjects are still much below the KKM with KKM IPS scores of 75. In connection with these problems, the researchers conducted research with the aim of improving learning outcomes in social studies using animated video media. The population of this study was grade IV students, amounting to 26 students. The sampling technique used was random sampling of 10 students. The method used is classroom action research. The data collection technique used multiple choice test sheets. Obtained from the results of the analysis in cycle I, the number of students who met the KKM was 6 students or 60%, while the results of the analysis in cycle II had an increase in all students completing the KKM or 100%. So it can be concluded that learning using animated video media can improve student learning outcomes in social studies subjects on economic activity material in class IV SDN Margaluyu.</em><em></em></p>

Sophisticated three-dimensional animation and video compositing software enables the creation of complex multimedia instructional movies. However, if the design of such presentations does not take account of cognitive load and multimedia theories, then their effectiveness as learning aids will be compromised. We investigated the use of animated images versus still images by creating two versions of a 4-min multimedia presentation on vascular neuroeffector transmission. One version comprised narration and animations, whereas the other animation comprised narration and still images. Fifty-four undergraduate students from level 3 pharmacology and physiology undergraduate degrees participated. Half of the students watched the full animation, and the other half watched the stills only. Students watched the presentation once and then answered a short essay question. Answers were coded and marked blind. The “animation” group scored 3.7 (SE: 0.4; out of 11), whereas the “stills” group scored 3.2 (SE: 0.5). The difference was not statistically significant. Further analysis of bonus marks, awarded for appropriate terminology use, detected a significant difference in one class (pharmacology) who scored 0.6 (SE: 0.2) versus 0.1 (SE: 0.1) for the animation versus stills group, respectively ( P = 0.04). However, when combined with the physiology group, the significance disappeared. Feedback from students was extremely positive and identified four main themes of interest. In conclusion, while increasing student satisfaction, we do not find strong evidence in favor of animated images over still images in this particular format. We also discuss the study design and offer suggestions for further investigations of this type.

This quantitative study aims to determine the improvement of student learning outcomes in blended learning through the use of animated videos. The study was conducted on 35 students of Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia in the Business Mathematics course. Pretest and posttest are given to subjects to determine learning outcomes before and after treatment. Obtained the average pretest and posttest amounted to 29.4 and 80.4, respectively. Based on the results of Man-Whitney tests, it can be concluded that the mean pretest and posttest scores differ significantly. This means that the use of animated videos in learning Business Mathematics can improve student learning outcomes.

This paper presents a study focused on comparing real actors based scenarios and animated characters based scenarios with respect to their similarity in evoking psychophysiological activity for certain events by measuring galvanic skin response (GSR). In the experiment, one group (n=11) watched the real actors’ film whereas another group (n=7) watched the animated film, which had the same story and dialogue as the real actors’ film. The results have shown that there is no significant difference in the skin conductance response (SCR) scores between the two groups; however, responses significantly differ when SCR amplitudes are taken into account. Moreover, Pearson’s correlation reported as high as over 80% correlation between the two groups’ SCRs for certain time intervals. The authors believe that this finding is of general importance for the domain of simulation-based tutoring systems in development of and decisions regarding use of animated characters based scenarios.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This article provides a survey of Soviet animation and analyses the thematic and stylistic course of its development. Soviet animated film emerged and materialised in synch with the fluctuations of the region’s political climate and was directly shaped by it. A number of trends and currents of Soviet animation also pertain to other Eastern European countries. After all, Eastern Europe constituted an integrated cultural space that functioned as a single market for the films produced across it by filmmakers who interacted in a professional regional network of film education, events, festivals, publications etc. Initially experimental, post-revolutionary Russian animation soon fell under the sway of the Socialist Realist discourse, along with the rest of Soviet art, and quickly crystallised as a didactic genre for children. Disney’s paradigm became its major source of inspiration both in terms of visual style and thematic scope, despite the fact that Soviet Union was regarded as the ideological opposite of the Western way of life and mindset. The Soviet animation industry was spread across different studios and republics that adopted slightly varied production practices and tolerated different degrees of artistic freedom. Studios in the smaller republics, such as Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in particular, stood out for making films that were more ideologically complicated than those produced in Moscow.
