Mesoscale Modeling of Extrusion and Solidification During Material Extrusion Additive ManufacturingAbstract
In this work, we apply a multiphysics approach to fused deposition modeling to simulate extrusion and solidification. Restricting the work to a single line scan, we focus on the application of polylactic acid. In addition to heat, momentum and mass transfer, the solid/liquid/vapor interface is simulated using a front-tracking, level-set method. The results focus on the evolving temperature, viscosity, and volume fraction and are cast within a set of parametric studies, to include the printing and extrusion speed, a [...] 1543 8004 |
Welcoming the “Metaverse” in Integrative and Complementary Medicine: Introductory OverviewAbstract
The digital transformation of healthcare is accelerating. At the forefront of this revolution is the development of the "metaverse." This multidimensional digital universe, where virtual and physical realities converge, is reshaping the potential of integrative and complementary medicine. In this special edition journal series, we explore how metaverse technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, avatars, digital twins, blockchain smart contracts, and more, are poised to revolutionize holistic healthcar [...] 1740 8614 |
Alone within the ALONESS of Covid-19: Developing Contemplative, Artistic Inner Friendship for Turbulent TimesAbstract
Art therapy, imaginal mindfulness, yoga, and meditation were personal and collegial necessities for surviving the emotional fallout of isolation during the Covid-19 pandemic. Combining these practices offered us credible resources for enhancing our social, cultural, and spiritual wellness when faced with the loneliness of lockdown living. This article applies an autoethnographic lens highlighting the value of these contemplative tools for managing pandemic related distress within myself and my professional peer gro [...] 1166 6376 |
Examining the Relationship between Attitudes Towards Genomic Technology and Genetic Entrepreneurial Intention among Egyptian Healthcare ProfessionalsAbstract
In the contemporary landscape, nurturing genomic entrepreneurial attitudes and intentions poses a substantial challenge for healthcare organizations. The present paper examines the factors affecting attitudes towards genomic technology and entrepreneurial intentions among Egyptian healthcare professionals. The study applied a quantitative approach and collected cross-sectional data from 276 health professionals using convenience sampling. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) through SmartPLS 4, the findings sug [...] 1115 6490 |
The Exploration of the Experience of Expressive Therapies in a Pediatric Medical Setting in the COVID-19 Pandemic through Arts-Based ResearchAbstract
The COVID-19 pandemic presented a host of issues for hospitalized patients including increased anxiety, fear, isolation, and depression [1]. Expressive Therapies have been used in the pediatric medical setting for decades to support patients and families with coping, expression, processing, and rehabilitation [2,3,4,5]. Additionally, some studies suggest that Expressive Therapies were effective in helping ease the increase in mental health symptoms that occurred during the pandemic. During the pandemic the expressi [...] 1077 5658 |
The Impact of Climate Change on Older Adults’ Mental Health: A Primer for CliniciansAbstract
Climate change is a major public health emergency. Natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, landslides, wildfires, and volcanic eruptions) have been increasing in frequency and severity and can cause lasting psychological sequelae. Older adults are highly vulnerable to the physical and mental health impacts of extreme weather and natural disasters. A narrative review was conducted to identify and summarize English-language articles focusing on the impact of climate change on older ad [...] 2467 17248 |
Technological Resources for Early Intervention in Cases of Dyscalculia: A Deductive-Inductive CategorizationAbstract
Dyscalculia is a math learning disability that significantly interferes with students' academic performance and math-related aspects of their daily lives. Early diagnosis and the design of intervention programs adapted to the needs of each case are essential. In this sense, multiple technological resources are created to address both issues. Still, it is difficult to identify which characteristics they share and which are more relevant regarding didactic suitability. Given this situation, this research proposes cat [...] 1995 15966 |
Using Hypnotic Techniques and Guided Imagery in Treatment of a Highly Hypnosible Woman with Slowly Progressing Chronic Organic Brain Disorder: A Case StudyAbstract
A therapeutic intervention combines guided imagery and hypnotic techniques (including self-hypnosis), direct and indirect suggestions, medical treatments, and highly improving patient condition. A variety of hypnotic intervention techniques were introduced to treat a highly hypnotizable patient suffering from an advanced organic brain disorder due to an autoimmune disease and resistant to traditional medicine, showing no improvement despite being highly motivated and cooperating with conventional measures. Progress [...] 1533 8351 |
Mutation Breeding in Horticultural Plant SpeciesAbstract
In the face of rapid population growth worldwide, humanity's need for plant and animal products is increasing. In this regard, the organizations in charge of production make production and consumption forecasts for the future and try to accelerate the work aimed at increasing production. There are various ways of increasing production. The first of these is the improvement of cultivation techniques, the expansion of irrigated agricultural areas, and the effective control of diseases and pests. The second is to find [...] 1745 15222 |
