Abstract:

The issue of the visual attractiveness of interiors and their impact on the user is strongly emphasised in the professional preparation of real estate for sale or rental, known as home staging (IAHSP Europe, 2022). However, the issue is poorly researched scientifically. There is also a lack of a clear definition and scope of home staging activities. According to the Authors, the issue is important due to the marketing, economic and sales dimension in the design of architectural interiors. The following article is an overview. It is a summary of the current state of knowledge about the development of the concept of preparing real estate for sale in Poland and in the world. Its purpose is to define the author's definition of home staging based on bibliographic scientific, popular, industry sources and observations of the Polish market.

Abstract:

This article explores the relationship between the domestic position of Jewish bourgeois housewives and the larger Swedish, urban landscape at the beginning of the twentieth century. Examining the interior décor, shopping patterns, urban places, and the social, cultural and religious aspects of the domestic spheres of Irene Strauss and Jeannette Ettlinger, this article argues that they consciously used public spaces to establish their individual practices of Jewishness. By entering the gendered space of the Jewish home, accessible through private letters and receipts, this article portrays the bourgeois women as actors with social and economic power. They produced public spaces that communicated either cultural integration or orthodox distinctiveness, thereby constructing diverse strategies for Swedish belonging. These strategies demonstrate the growing religious, social and cultural diversity within the Jewish community in Stockholm during the three last decades before the Second World War.

Abstract:

Background The growing public interest and awareness regarding the significance of sleep is driving the demand for sleep monitoring at home. In addition to various commercially available wearable and nearable devices, sound-based sleep staging via deep learning is emerging as a decent alternative for their convenience and potential accuracy. However, sound-based sleep staging has only been studied using in-laboratory sound data. In real-world sleep environments (homes), there is abundant background noise, in contrast to quiet, controlled environments such as laboratories. The use of sound-based sleep staging at homes has not been investigated while it is essential for practical use on a daily basis. Challenges are the lack of and the expected huge expense of acquiring a sufficient size of home data annotated with sleep stages to train a large-scale neural network. Objective This study aims to develop and validate a deep learning method to perform sound-based sleep staging using audio recordings achieved from various uncontrolled home environments. Methods To overcome the limitation of lacking home data with known sleep stages, we adopted advanced training techniques and combined home data with hospital data. The training of the model consisted of 3 components: (1) the original supervised learning using 812 pairs of hospital polysomnography (PSG) and audio recordings, and the 2 newly adopted components; (2) transfer learning from hospital to home sounds by adding 829 smartphone audio recordings at home; and (3) consistency training using augmented hospital sound data. Augmented data were created by adding 8255 home noise data to hospital audio recordings. Besides, an independent test set was built by collecting 45 pairs of overnight PSG and smartphone audio recording at homes to examine the performance of the trained model. Results The accuracy of the model was 76.2% (63.4% for wake, 64.9% for rapid-eye movement [REM], and 83.6% for non-REM) for our test set. The macro F1-score and mean per-class sensitivity were 0.714 and 0.706, respectively. The performance was robust across demographic groups such as age, gender, BMI, or sleep apnea severity (accuracy 73.4%-79.4%). In the ablation study, we evaluated the contribution of each component. While the supervised learning alone achieved accuracy of 69.2% on home sound data, adding consistency training to the supervised learning helped increase the accuracy to a larger degree (+4.3%) than adding transfer learning (+0.1%). The best performance was shown when both transfer learning and consistency training were adopted (+7.0%). Conclusions This study shows that sound-based sleep staging is feasible for home use. By adopting 2 advanced techniques (transfer learning and consistency training) the deep learning model robustly predicts sleep stages using sounds recorded at various uncontrolled home environments, without using any special equipment but smartphones only.

Abstract:

Abstract Objectives We describe the development of a nursing home information technology (IT) maturity model designed to capture stages of IT maturity. Materials and Methods This study had 2 phases. The purpose of phase I was to develop a preliminary nursing home IT maturity model. Phase II involved 3 rounds of questionnaires administered to a Delphi panel of expert nursing home administrators to evaluate the validity of the nursing home IT maturity model proposed in phase I. Results All participants (n = 31) completed Delphi rounds 1-3. Over the 3 Delphi rounds, the nursing home IT maturity staging model evolved from a preliminary, 5-stage model (stages 1-5) to a 7-stage model (stages 0-6). Discussion Using innovative IT to improve patient outcomes has become a broad goal across healthcare settings, including nursing homes. Understanding the relationship between IT sophistication and quality performance in nursing homes relies on recognizing the spectrum of nursing home IT maturity that exists and how IT matures over time. Currently, no universally accepted nursing home IT maturity model exists to trend IT adoption and determine the impact of increasing IT maturity on quality. Conclusions A 7-stage nursing home IT maturity staging model was successfully developed with input from a nationally representative sample of U.S. based nursing home experts. The model incorporates 7-stages of IT maturity ranging from stage 0 (nonexistent IT solutions or electronic medical record) to stage 6 (use of data by resident or resident representative to generate clinical data and drive self-management).

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction Daily sleep tracking at home is growing in demand as more and more people are aware of the significance of sleep. The objective of this study is to propose a sound-based sleep staging model based on deep learning that works well in home environments with recorded audio data from general smartphones. Methods Three different audio datasets were used. A labeled hospital dataset (PSG and audio, N=812) and an unlabeled home dataset (audio only, N=829) were used for training. A limited number of labeled sound data from home (PSG and audio, N=45) were used for testing. Our proposed HomeSleepNet has three components: (1) supervised learning using the labeled hospital data that trains the model to make correct predictions in hospital environments; (2) unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA), which used both the labeled hospital data and unlabeled home data, and transferred the sleep staging power from hospital domain to home domain by adversarial training; (3) unsupervised data augmentation for consistency training (UDC), which augmented hospital data by adding home noise and trained the model to make consistent predictions on original and augmented data. After all training, HomeSleepNet is expected to make robust sleep staging despite the home noise presence. Results HomeSleepNet achieved 76.2% accuracy on the sleep staging task in home environments for the 3-stage classification case (Wake, NREM, REM). Specifically, it correctly predicted 63.4% of wake, 83.6% of NREM sleep, and 64.9% of REM sleep. The contributions of UDA and UDC were demonstrated by the following results. The accuracy of the model trained without both was 69.2%. Either addition of UDA or UDC training to the model improved the performance, with increased accuracy of 69.3% for UDA and 73.5% for UDC. As expected, using both UDA and UDC (i.e., HomeSleepNet) achieved the best performance, with a 7% increase in accuracy compared to the model trained without both components. Conclusion To the best of our knowledge, this is the first sound-based sleep staging study conducted in home environments. Moreover, the sounds were recorded by commercial smartphones and not through professional devices. Our proposed model introduced a reliable and convenient method for daily sleep tracking at home.

Abstract:

This article examines the dynamic interactions between Mexican women who sought to circumvent their sexual regulation at the U.S.-Mexico border, and U.S. immigration officials who enforced these regulations and policed these women's bodies in the early twentieth century. Using the transcripts of the board of special inquiry (BSI)—a panel that deliberated over the admission of excludable immigrants and oversaw accompanying interrogations—I contend that, while the BSI operated to encode corporeally Mexican female immigrants as sexually deviant, it simultaneously served as a stage for them to respond with their own performances of crossing. In the interrogation room, women performed a slew of admissible identities, including the devoted mother, aggrieved woman, and hard-working laborer. When those attempts to cross failed, women did not simply return home. Instead, many re-crossed until they reached their intended destination. Thus, the BSI served as a site for Mexican female border crossers to both uphold and challenge the production of heteropatriarchal notions of marriage. These findings contribute to the growing literature on U.S. border enforcement in the early twentieth century and uncover the (dis)order of a growing U.S. bureaucratic infrastructure based on sexual and gendered regulation.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction Sleep pathology is increasingly being recognized in many neuropsychiatric conditions, including those not traditionally associated with sleep medicine. Improved therapeutic strategies will benefit from EEG-based sleep analytics, but EEG is limited by cost and availability. Here we evaluate the performance and usability of a user operated dry-EEG electrode-based sleep monitoring headband (the Dreem 3S, D3S), which is intended to provide detailed brain EEG activity with automated sleep staging and longitudinal recording ability from the home environment. Methods Two prospective studies included 60 subjects who underwent either one overnight in-lab traditional polysomnography (PSG) while concomitantly wearing the D3S, or three nights at home with the D3S. At home, subjects self-applied the D3S. Device usability and automated sleep staging performance were evaluated. Results Overall agreement between D3S and PSG scoring was 85.6% across sleep stages. Intra Class Correlation (ICC) for Total Sleep Time (TST), Sleep Efficiency (SE), Latency to Persistent Sleep (LPS), and Wake After Sleep Onset (WASO) exceeded 90%, indicating excellent agreement between D3S and PSG. ICC ranged from 65% to 86% for automated machine learning interpretation of time spent in N1, N2, N3, and REM, comparable or superior to other devices and individual human performance. Usability evaluation demonstrated safe and comfortable use of the device in the home setting, with a System Usability Score (SUS) score of ≥ 68. Subjects were able to operate and record 2-3 nights of high-quality data without additional support or technologist intervention. Furthermore, 96.6% of each record was deemed to be of sufficient EEG signal quality to enable manual expert review. Conclusion The Dreem 3S provided accurate sleep-staging and sleep metrics from EEG data acquired in conjunction with in-lab PSG or multiple nights in the home setting. Results were comparable to in-lab PSG results. D3S therefore offers objective EEG-based sleep investigation that is not feasible with traditional PSG, such as longitudinal data acquisition in a patient’s home environment without need for expert technologist applications. Such technology enables expansion of EEG-based sleep analysis for novel conditions. Support (if any) This work was supported by Beacon Biosignals, which is a private company with ownership of the D3S.

Abstract:

We describe a novel approach to decompose a single panorama of an empty indoor environment into four appearance components: specular, direct sunlight, diffuse and diffuse ambient without direct sunlight. Our system is weakly supervised by automatically generated semantic maps (with floor, wall, ceiling, lamp, window and door labels) that have shown success on perspective views and are trained for panoramas using transfer learning without any further annotations. A GAN-based approach supervised by coarse information obtained from the semantic map extracts specular reflection and direct sunlight regions on the floor and walls. These lighting effects are removed via a similar GAN-based approach and a semantic-aware inpainting step. The appearance decomposition enables multiple applications including sun direction estimation, virtual furniture insertion, floor material replacement, and sun direction change, providing an effective tool for virtual home staging. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on a large and recently released dataset of panoramas of empty homes.

Abstract:

Background:Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) include agitation, apathy, hallucinations, and depression. These symptoms are a challenge to professional nursing care, resulting in frequent psychiatric hospitalization, which incur high costs to the national healthcare systems.Objective:To estimate the prevalence of BPSD in nursing home residents in 16 representative nursing homes in Berlin, Germany.Methods:In a cross-sectional clustered cohort study, BPSD were assessed using the Dementia Mood Assessment Scale (DMAS), the Neuropsychiatric Inventary (NPI) and the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI). Dementia stage severity was measured by Functional Assessment Staging (FAST) and the Mini-Mnetals State Examination (MMSE). Furthermore, the patients" history recording psychotropics and number of psychiatric hospitalizations were registered. The prevalence and incidence rates of BPSD as well the duration of hospitalization and the quantity of drug prescription were estimated.Results:BPSD are common above all in nursing home residents with dementia, exhibiting prevalence rates of above 60% of all nursing home residents suffering from dementia. The severity of BPSD was related to number of psychiatric hospitalizations, the amount of psychotropics prescribed, and caregiver burden (p < .05).Conclusion:The high prevalence rate of BPSD reflects a significant problem in nursing home care, and is related to negative health outcomes and caregiver burden. Thus, nursing home care could be improved by minimizing the severity of BPSD, as well as the amount of drugs prescribed and the frequency of demented patients" hospitalization.

AbstractAmong 75-90% of residents in Danish nursing homes are diagnosed with dementia. This article explore how a team of five 3rd semester bachelor's design students sought to improve quality of life for elderly people with dementia in a nursing home through a co-design process of a new sensory stimulation technology. Participatory Design researchers agree that it is important to involve diverse actors in the design process such as elderly with dementia, nursing home management, nursing staff etc. But when involving many different actors in designing new products, services and systems the challenge is to navigate the many perspectives and concerns of these actors, which is often conflicting and hence needs negotiating. ‘We draw upon the ANT framework to analyse how ‘matters of concern’ (MoCs) are negotiated and to discuss how designers navigate by staging and facilitating design interactions to support negotiation of MoCs among numerous actors during the design process.

Abstract:

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether indirect self-destructive behaviors predict mortality in nursing home residents. Method: This cross-sectional study with follow-up after 2 years and 3 months surveyed 593 residents in 10 nursing homes in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, Australia. The following instruments were used: Harmful Behaviors Scale (HBS), Behavioral Pathology in Alzheimer's Disease Rating Scale (BEHAVE-AD), Functional Assessment Staging Scale, Resident Classificatin Index, Cumulative Illness Rating Scale, Even Briefer Assessment Scales for Depression, and the suicide item from the Structured Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. Diagnoses of depression, dementia, and psychosis were obtained from nursing home records. Mortality data were obtained in August 1999. Results: At follow-up, 297 (50.1%) residents were still alive with a mean survival time of 565.4 days. Survival analyses found that mortality was predicted by older age, male gender, lower level of functioning, lower levels of behavioral disturbance on the BEHAVE-AD, and higher scores on the HBS “passive self-harm” factor-based subscale, which includes refusal to eat, drink, or take medication. Discussion: These results suggest that passive self-harm behaviors predict mortality in nursing home residents.

Abstract:

This essay attempts to show how contemporary South Asian American theater deals with a wide range of South Asian American experience and in so doing has created a “new aesthetic” within American theater. The South Asian American experience is a diaspora experience, but in the contemporary wider sense of the term. The plays under study are about the old and new home, about people assimilating into the mainstream or navigating between two cultures or even negotiating a transnational identity. They deal with contested ideas of nation, nationality and allegiance, and also explore the South Asian female body in the new culture. Central to my study are the works of emerging South Asian American playwrights. I have carefully chosen a full-length play by each of them, two only in the case of short plays, and paired them under separate rubrics in such a way as to argue how they represent the diverse yet connected, changing yet pervasive, historical, cultural and psychological tropes of the South Asian American diaspora. The essay, however, does not claim that the body of work chosen for the current essay – or the rubrics, for that matter – fully expresses “South Asian America” or its theater.

Optical-reflex treatment of patients with myopia and computer visual syndrome with a concomitant asthenic form of accommodation asthenopia seems relevant and not fully developed. The basic provisions that determine the tactics of treatment are monocular exposure in order to increase the absolute accommodation rate and staging (outpatient room, home conditions) of training. Measures aimed at improving the effectiveness of optical reflex treatment at home include the development of alternative instrumentation with reasonable (in accordance with the clinical and physiological characteristics of the functioning of the ciliary muscle of the eye) optical, amplitude and temporal parameters of the training process.

Abstract:

As a physiological phenomenon, sleep takes up approximately 30% of human life and significantly affects people’s quality of life. To assess the quality of night sleep, polysomnography (PSG) has been recognized as the gold standard for sleep staging. The drawbacks of such a clinical device, however, are obvious, since PSG limits the patient’s mobility during the night, which is inconvenient for in-home monitoring. In this paper, a noncontact vital signs monitoring system using the piezoelectric sensors is deployed. Using the so-designed noncontact sensing system, heartbeat interval (HI), respiratory interval (RI), and body movements (BM) are separated and recorded, from which a new dimension of vital signs, referred to as the coordination of heartbeat interval and respiratory interval (CHR), is obtained. By extracting both the independent features of HI, RI, and BM and the coordinated features of CHR in different timescales, Wake-REM-NREM sleep staging is performed, and a postprocessing of staging fusion algorithm is proposed to refine the accuracy of classification. A total of 17 all-night recordings of noncontact measurement simultaneous with PSG from 10 healthy subjects were examined, and the leave-one-out cross-validation was adopted to assess the performance of Wake-REM-NREM sleep staging. Taking the gold standard of PSG as reference, numerical results show that the proposed sleep staging achieves an averaged accuracy and Cohen’s Kappa index of 82.42% and 0.63, respectively, and performs robust to subjects suffering from sleep-disordered breathing.

Abstract:

The effects of short-term disturbances that result in changes to movement patterns and/or behaviour of wildlife are poorly understood. In this study the movements of seven koalas were monitored before, during and after a five-day music festival. During the monitoring program koalas occupied home-range areas of 0.6–13 ha with one or more core areas of activity. Aversive behaviour in the form of evacuation of known ranging areas was demonstrated by three koalas that had core areas within 525 m of the approximate centre of the festival area, the associated responses comprising movements that were perpendicular to and away from staging areas where music was played. Responses contained within known ranging areas were observed in three other koalas whose core areas were located up to 600 m away. The type of response appeared related to the proximity of koala home ranges to music-staging areas, while the maximum distance associated with an aversive response was 725 m. Six of the radio-tracked koalas returned to their home-range areas following the conclusion of festival activities. While the specific stimulus eliciting aversive behaviour was not identified, responses in all instances were initiated during the musical phase of the festival event. The potential for short-term disturbances such as music festivals to significantly influence the ranging patterns of koalas warrants recognition of possible longer-term ecological consequences for planning and management purposes.

Abstract:

The myth of Korean-ness is reconstructed via the figures of minorities in a documentary/performance, An Eternal Parting, performed by the South Korean performance group Movement Dang-Dang in 2011 and 2013. It showcases the phenomena of Korean diaspora, starting with the deportations of Korean exiles from Siberia under Stalin during the 1930s, and hinges on the presence of the descendants of exiled Korean ethnic populations in contemporary South Korea, including how they are both accepted and excluded by their countrymen. However, although An Eternal Parting tries to redefine the myth of Korean-ness from a marginal viewpoint, its fundamental ambivalence does not escape hegemonic Korean ideologies of nationalism, bloodline, family and home.

A major barrier for studying sleep in patients with dementia is the requirement for overnight polysomnography (PSG) to achieve formal sleep staging. This is not only costly, but also spending a night in a hospital setting is not always advisable in this patient group. As an alternative to PSG, portable electroencephalography (EEG) headbands (HB) have been developed, which reduce cost, increase patient comfort, and allow sleep recordings in a person’s home environment. However, naïve applications of current automated sleep staging systems tend to perform inadequately with HB data, due to their relatively lower quality. Here we present a deep learning (DL) model for automated sleep staging of HB EEG data to overcome these critical limitations. The solution includes a simple band-pass filtering, a data augmentation step, and a model using convolutional (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) layers. With this model, we have achieved 74% (±10%) validation accuracy on low-quality two-channel EEG headband data and 77% (±10%) on gold-standard PSG. Our results suggest that DL approaches achieve robust sleep staging of both portable and in-hospital EEG recordings, and may allow for more widespread use of ambulatory sleep assessments across clinical conditions, including neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic with its lockdowns and social distancing whirled theaters worldwide into an economic and cultural crisis. The San Francisco Playhouse, however, implemented an experimental theater genre based on computer-mediated communication (CMC) that proved to be highly productive and successful. The “Monday night Zoomlets” presented short plays by, among others, Indigenous authors, embedded in discussion by director, actors, and playwright, with a second reading of the play applying the insights gained. The presentations took advantage of technical finesses, as well as informality and humor, and the Zoom spectators in their home settings could interact via a chat function. This article analyzes three of the innovative Zoomlets focusing on crises in contemporary Native American families, crises that have arisen through the “slow violence” (Nixon) of centuries-long hegemonic colonization. DeLanna Studi’s Flight, Claude Jackson Jr.’s Cashed Out, and Lee Cataluna’s Funeral Attire. All these plays show young Native Americans attempting to reclaim rituals or knowledges through forms of “remembering,” a feature of twenty-first-century Indigenous theater according to engagé drama theorists Jaye Darby, Courtney Mohler, and Christy Stanlake’s Critical Companion to Native American and First Nations Theatre and Performance (2020). Relevant theories of transformations of chronotope, fourth wall, and third skin in performance within the Zoom environment are considered.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction The coronavirus pandemic has brought unprecedented changes to the health care system, including sleep medicine. Remote monitoring and telemedicine played a significant role in this shift. We anticipate these changes to continue in the future with internet-connected wearables (ICWs) playing an important role in measuring and managing sleep remotely. As these ICWs measures a small subset of signals traditionally measured during polysomnography (PSG), manual sleep staging becomes non-trivial and sometimes impossible. The ability to do accurate and reliable automatic sleep staging using different modalities of physiological signals remotely is becoming ever more important. Methods The current work seeks to quantify the sleep staging performance of Z3Score-Neo (https://z3score.com, Neurobit Technologies, Singapore), a signal agnostic, cloud-based real-time sleep analytics platform. We tested its staging performance on the CINC open dataset with N=994 subjects using various combinations of signals including Electroencephalogram (EEG), Electrooculogram (EOG), Electromyogram (EMG), and Instantaneous Heart Rate (IHR) derived from Electrocardiogram (ECG). The staging was compared against manual scoring based on PSG. For IHR based staging, N1 and N2 were combined. Results We achieved substantial agreement (all Cohen’s Kappa > 0.7) between automatic and manual staging using various combinations of EEG, EOG and EMG channels with accuracies varying between 81.76% (two central EEGs, one EOG, one EMG), 79.31% (EEG+EOG), 78.73% (EEG only) and 78.09% (one EOG). We achieved moderate agreement (accuracy: 72.8% κ=0.54) with IHR derived from ECG. Conclusion Our results demonstrated the accuracy of a cloud-based sleep analytics platform on an open dataset, using various combinations of ecologically valid physiological signals. EOG and EMG channels can be easily self-administered using sticker-based electrodes and can be added to existing home sleep apnea test (HSAT) kits significantly improving their utility. ICWs are already capable of accurately measuring EEG/EOG (Muse, InteraXon Inc., Toronto, Canada; Dreem band, Dreem, USA) and IHR derived from ECG (Movesense, Suunto, Finland) or photoplethysmogram (Oura Ring, Oura Health Oy, Finland) or through non-contact ballistocardiogram/radio-based measurements (Dozee, Turtle Shell Technologies, India; Sleepiz, Sleepiz AG, Switzerland). Therefore, a well-validated cloud-based staging platform solves a major technological hurdle towards the proliferation of remote monitoring and telehealth in sleep medicine. Support (if any):

Abstract:

In her article, the author analyses an example of a text and its staging brought about by the sudden death of a member of the playwright’s creative team. In his solo performance Inflammation du verbe vivre (Inflammation of the Verb To Live), created at the Paris Théâtre National de la Colline in 2015, Canadian-Lebanese playwright, director and actor Wajdi Mouawad interwove the ancient Greek literary and mythological heritage with a personal confession about the loss of his friend and professional colleague Robert Davreu, upgrading it with a socially critical depiction of the situation in today’s Greece. The performance was made as the penultimate part of a staging cycle of Sophocles’s seven preserved tragedies under the common title Le dernièr jour de sa vie (The Last Day of his Life). Mouawad had intended to direct the cycle in new translations by Davreu. Mouawad thus connected the process of mourning the death, which stopped the project, with the documentation of the writing process of the text that he later also directed and performed in the form of a peculiar theatre elegy. He fused the character of Philoctetes with the character of Odysseus; not the Odysseus from Sophocles’s tragedy who plots to steal Philoctetes’s bow, but the one from Homer who seeks his way home to Ithaca for ten years after the conquer of Troy and visits Tiresias’s shade in the underworld.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article will discuss how two major contributing factors, functional staging and perceived authenticity, have had and continue to have a powerful influence on the sound of record production across geographical boundaries and throughout history. Functional staging is a concept building on the idea of phonographic staging developed by William Moylan and Serge Lacasse and related to Allan Moore's ‘sound-box’. The staging of sounds in the record production process is considered to be functional if the reason for their particular placement or treatment is related to the practicalities of audience reception rather than to aesthetics. It is not a question of whether the music has a function or not but whether that function has influenced the staging of the recorded music. Thus the divergence of staging techniques used in dance music and rock music that began in the 1970s can be seen as resulting from the different functions the music was put to by the different audiences. Music that is played back through large speakers in a club for the purpose of dancing needs to maintain the clarity of the rhythmic elements and so the ‘drier’ techniques of drum and percussive instrument mixing that characterise dance music developed. Rock, however, was more frequently played back in the smaller, less ambient, home environment and so reverberation was added to simulate the atmosphere of the large-scale venue. At the same time, a variety of culturally constructed notions of authenticity have developed within different musical audiences. Why is it that Queen felt the need to inscribe ‘no synthesisers were used in the making of this album’ on their early records and yet Brian May felt entirely comfortable constructing multiple layered performance ‘patchworks’ of guitar tracks? Why might the use of one type of technological mediation be considered more or less authentic than another? Using examples taken from recordings from all around the world and from ‘art’ and ‘popular’ forms of music, this article will explore how audience-led cultural trends in recording and production practice have resulted in the particular ‘sounds’ of different recorded music genres.

Abstract:

Abstract Approximately 14.0% of Medicare beneficiaries are readmitted to a hospital within 30-days of home health admission. Individuals with dementia account for 30% of all home health care admissions and are at high-risk for rehospitalizations. Our primary objective was to determine the association between dementia severity at admission to home health and 30-day potentially preventable readmissions (PPR) during home health care. A secondary objective was to develop a dementia severity category from OASIS items based on the Functional Assessment Staging Tool (FAST). Retrospective cohort study of 124,119 Medicare beneficiaries receiving home health (7/2013 – 6/2015) and diagnosed with dementia (ICD-9 codes). The primary outcome was 30-day PPR during home health. The predictor variable of dementia severity was categorized into six levels (non-affected to severe). The overall rate of 30-day PPR was 7.6% (95% CI 7.4, 7.7) but varied by patient and health care utilization characteristics. After adjusting for sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, patients classified as stage 6 and stage 7 had 1.36 (95% CI 1.28, 1.45) and 1.90 (95% CI 1.59, 2.26) times higher odds to experience a 30-day PPR compared to patients classified as stage 1-2. Dementia severity in the later stages is associated with increased risk for PPR. Development of a dementia severity category based on OASIS items and the FAST is feasible. Future research is needed to determine effective strategies for decreasing PPR during home health for individuals with severe dementia. Future research is needed to validate the proposed dementia severity categories used in this study.

Abstract:

ObjectivesThere is growing concern regarding quality of work life (QWL) among care staff in nursing homes. However, little is known about the impact of QWL on nursing home residents’ functional performance. Recent literature suggests that job satisfaction and happiness of healthcare workers reflect their perceived QWL and impact the quality of their care. This study examined the association between job satisfaction and global happiness with change in functional performance of severely disabled elderly residents in nursing homes.DesignA retrospective cohort study of nursing home residents combined with a questionnaire survey of their care staff.SettingEighteen nursing homes in Japan.ParticipantsData were collected from 1000 residents with a required care level of 3–5 and from 412 care staff in nursing homes between October 2017 and March 2018.Outcomes and explanatory variablesFunctional performance was structurally assessed with ICF (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health) staging, composed of 52 items concerning activities of daily life, cognitive function and social participation, at baseline and 6 months later. Deterioration and improvement of functional performance were dichotomously defined as such change in any of the items. QWL of care staff was evaluated with a questionnaire including questions about job satisfaction and global happiness.ResultsFunctional performance deteriorated and improved in 23.0% and 12.7% of residents, respectively. Global happiness of care staff was associated with lower probability of residents’ deterioration (adjusted OR, 0.61; CI 0.44 to 0.84). There was no significant correlation between job satisfaction or happiness of care staff and improvement of residents’ functional performance.ConclusionThese results suggest that QWL of care staff is associated with changes in functional performance of elderly people with severe disabilities in nursing homes.

Abstract:

Abstract Objectives Scoring laboratory polysomnography (PSG) data remains a manual task of visually annotating 3 primary categories: sleep stages, sleep disordered breathing, and limb movements. Attempts to automate this process have been hampered by the complexity of PSG signals and physiological heterogeneity between patients. Deep neural networks, which have recently achieved expert-level performance for other complex medical tasks, are ideally suited to PSG scoring, given sufficient training data. Methods We used a combination of deep recurrent and convolutional neural networks (RCNN) for supervised learning of clinical labels designating sleep stages, sleep apnea events, and limb movements. The data for testing and training were derived from 10 000 clinical PSGs and 5804 research PSGs. Results When trained on the clinical dataset, the RCNN reproduces PSG diagnostic scoring for sleep staging, sleep apnea, and limb movements with accuracies of 87.6%, 88.2% and 84.7% on held-out test data, a level of performance comparable to human experts. The RCNN model performs equally well when tested on the independent research PSG database. Only small reductions in accuracy were noted when training on limited channels to mimic at-home monitoring devices: frontal leads only for sleep staging, and thoracic belt signals only for the apnea-hypopnea index. Conclusions By creating accurate deep learning models for sleep scoring, our work opens the path toward broader and more timely access to sleep diagnostics. Accurate scoring automation can improve the utility and efficiency of in-lab and at-home approaches to sleep diagnostics, potentially extending the reach of sleep expertise beyond specialty clinics.

Abstract:

More than twenty narrative films about street children have been produced in more than a dozen countries over the three decades since the UN International Year of the Child in 1979. This paper looks closely at seven of these films (Hector Babenco's Pixote, Mira Nair's Salaam Bombay!, Larry Clark's Kids, Nabil Ayouch's Ali Zaoua, Gerardo Tort's De la Calle, Siddiq Barmak's Osama, and Danny Boyle's and Loveleen Tandeen's Slumdog Millionaire), outlining a number of their recurrent themes and techniques, including the use of Neorealist principles of filming; the presence of screens in the profilmic space; the failure to complete traditional narratives; the abandonment by mothers; the staging of conditions of hunger, work, plenitude, and lack; the sexualisation of young people; and the rejection of institutional ‘homes’. The paper proposes that, collectively, the films demonstrate the impossibility of continuing to conceptualise childhood as a protected time and place of play and suggest the possibility that the street child is the emergent normative subject of global capitalism.

Full text

Abstract:

This article argues that, in The Barracks, John McGahern’s literary production of the domestic familial space charts the fractures and partitions within that supposed unified space to reveal the anaemic passivity and alienating nausea that overcomes individuals within a prescriptive and totalising hegemony. It will discuss McGahern’s decision to withdraw his first novel from publication, and the reformation of the unpublished text into The Barracks. It expressly considers McGahern’s shifting of the spatial setting from the recognisable trope of the country kitchen to a Garda barracks and the impact this has on Elizabeth’s position within the family home, and therefore society. This article argues that the novel’s form addresses the dislocation of non-hegemonic or alternative family structures. McGahern’s staging of the narrative in the unfit and fractured domestic space of the barracks subverts traditional conceptions of ‘home’. This undermines the supposed impenetrable primacy of the family unit and highlights the bad faith and comely delusion of mid-century Ireland.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction Fitness-based wearables and other emerging sensor technologies have the potential to track sleep across large populations longitudinally in at-home environments. To understand how these devices can inform research studies, limitations of available trackers need to be compared to traditional polysomnography (PSG). Here we assessed discrepancies in sleep staging in activity trackers vs. PSG in subjects with various sleep disorders. Methods Twelve subjects (age 41-78, 7f, 5m) wore a Fitbit Charge 3 while undergoing a scheduled sleep study. Six subjects had been previously diagnosed with a sleep disorder (5 OSA, 1 CSA). 4 subjects used CPAP throughout the night, 2 had a split night (CPAP 2nd half of the night), and 6 had a PSG only. Activity tracker staging was compared to 2 RPSGTs staging. Results Of the 12 subjects, eight subjects’ sleep was detected in the activity tracker, and compared across sleep stages to the PSG (7 female, 1 male, ages 41-78, AHI 0.3-87, RDI 0.5-94.4, sleep efficiency 74%+/-18, 4 PSG, 1 split, 3 CPAP). The activity tracker matched either tech 52% (+/- 13). The average difference in score tech and activity tracker staging for sleep onset (SO) was 16 +/- 15 minutes and wake after sleep onset was 43.5 +/- 44 minutes. Sensitivity, specificity, and balanced accuracy were found for each sleep stage. Respectively, Wake: 0.45+/-0.27, 0.97+/-0.03, 0.71+/-0.12, REM: 0.41+/-0.30, 0.90+/-0.06, 0.60+/-0.28, Light: 0.71+/-0.09, 0.58+/-0.19, 0.65+/-0.10, Deep: 0.63+/-0.52, 0.88+/-0.05, 0.59+/-0.49. Conclusion From this study of 12 subjects seen at a sleep clinic for suspected sleep disorders, activity trackers performed best in wake, REM and deep sleep specificity (>=88%), while they lacked sensitivity to REM and wake (<=45%) stages. The tracker did not detect sleep in 4 subjects who had elevated AHI or low sleep efficiency. Further analysis can identify whether discrepancies between the Fitbit and PSG can be predicted by distinct patterns in sleep staging and/or identify subject exclusion criteria for activity tracking studies.

Abstract:

Abstract Contemporary Britain is experiencing an enduring and devastating housing crisis spearheaded in 1980 by Margaret Thatcher’s introduction of the “Right to Buy” social housing and sustained by an enduring neoliberal hegemony. This article contextualises the housing crisis through data and information drawn from journalism, charities, and government. It then explores how the crisis is conveyed in two recent plays. Sh!t Theatre’s 2016 Letters to Windsor House focusses on company members Louise Mothersole and Rebecca Biscuit’s overcrowded and unsafe North London flatshare. Home is a verbatim show set in a hostel for homeless young people in East London, produced by the National Theatre and co-researched and directed by Nadia Fall in 2013. As well as exploring the shows’ narration of the devastating social and material impacts of the housing crisis, the article draws on urban theory’s concept of psychogeography alongside video documentation of both plays to explore how they affectively convey the spatial and emotional consequences of the crisis. The article shows how the spatialisation of theatre – not just its textual elements – helps articulate both the spatiality of the housing crisis in contemporary urban life in neoliberal Britain and, especially, how that spatiality feels. It makes the case for thinking psychogeographically about theatre in order to focus on the ways it braids spatial and emotional understanding – crucial factors for properly comprehending, and potentially changing, the UK housing crisis.

Full text

Abstract:

C. P. Cavafy‟s dramatic monologues “Going Back Home from Greece” and “Philhellene” are approached by way of their form: the genre of the dramatic monologue that the Greek poet adopted and adapted from Victorian sources, which delimits and historicises the poetic utterance by staging it in a dramatic frame. Drawing on a theory of Michel Foucault, the two texts‟ discursive context of Hellenism is construed as part of their speakers‟ binding situation, the social and historical environment (i.e. the literary representation of the Hellenistic and early Roman periods) that is shown to both condition and enable their respective utterances. Furthermore, it will be argued that the speakers‟ attempts to assert and/or construct their identities involves a complex, tense process of subjection and simultaneous resistance to restraining definitions inherent to the discourse of Hellenism that have persisted throughout the latter‟s long history, such as its self- constitutive, inexorable, division between Greek and barbarian.

Abstract:

Cancer is a critical health concern worldwide, and this chronic disease is gradually growing. In 2020 alone,19,292,789 new cases were reported globally; by 2025, this figure is expected to rise to 21,618,445. Among thevarious cancers, esophageal cancer is considered one of the most aggressive, with a poor survival rate. It currentlyranks eighth in incidence and sixth in mortality among all cancers, and its frequency and mortality are progressivelyincreasing, with 604,100 new cases and 5,44,000 deaths by 2020. Several staging systems have been proposedfor esophageal cancer, including the Ellis, Japan Esophageal Society, and AJCC/UICC systems. However, sincethe AJCC/UICC established their staging criteria, these have been the most widely used and accepted by themedical community.The different AJCC Cancer Staging Manual editions have progressively incorporated changes in the esophagealcancer staging as our understanding, which has been exponentially influenced by various conventional diagnosticmeans. The TNM staging system’s editions are updated periodically, but how much have they changedsince the first edition? What have been the main changes introduced in each edition concerning esophagealcancer? This narrative review aims to answer these questions through a thorough and comparative analysis ofeach TNM addition.The esophageal cancer staging has changed with each TNM edition, allowing a better understanding of itand applying better therapeutic methods. The last two editions have introduced significant changes with theincorporation of non-anatomical categories into the staging grouping and the addition of a classification for patientsundergoing neoadjuvant therapy.

Abstract:

Novel sensor solutions for sleep monitoring at home could alleviate bottlenecks in sleep medical care as well as enable selective or continuous observation over long periods of time and contribute to new insights in sleep medicine and beyond. Since especially in the latter case the sensor data differ strongly in signal, number and extent of sensors from the classical polysomnography (PSG) sensor technology, an automatic evaluation is essential for the application. However, the training of an automatic algorithm is complicated by the fact that the development phase of the new sensor technology, extensive comparative measurements with standardized reference systems, is often not possible and therefore only small datasets are available. In order to circumvent high system-specific training data requirements, we employ pre-training on large datasets with finetuning on small datasets of new sensor technology to enable automatic sleep phase detection for small test series. By pre-training on publicly available PSG datasets and finetuning on 12 nights recorded with new sensor technology based on a pre-gelled electrode grid to capture electroencephalography (EEG), electrooculography (EOG) and electromyography (EMG), an F1 score across all sleep phases of 0.81 is achieved (wake 0.84, N1 0.62, N2 0.81, N3 0.87, REM 0.88), using only EEG and EOG. The analysis additionally considers the spatial distribution of the channels and an approach to approximate classical electrode positions based on specific linear combinations of the new sensor grid channels.

Résumé This article explores how space gets mobilised in the performance of “family business”. The very concept of the “family business” collapses some deeply entrenched distinctions in Western modern societies, those between home and work, private and public, family life and business rationality, distinctions that are mapped over space through the creation of boundaries between work space and family space, home and office. The “family business”, especially when run from home, unsticks this ordered sense of space as familial images and business stages are collapsed. Our analysis of small family run boarding kennels focuses on the way space is used to frame different stages of action. In particular, we draw upon theatrical metaphors to explore the work that goes into the staging of identities and social relations. We first discuss the relationships between space, stages, performance and identity through a theatrical lens; we then draw upon material from our study of family run boarding kennels to explore how owner-managers use space as a malleable resource from which they carve out and assemble different stages to perform their business and themselves to different audiences. After going back into the theatre to discuss the role of stages in weaving together coherent stories in the family business or in drama, we close by exploring the limitations of the theatrical metaphor for the analysis of social life.
