    Abstract Previous work shows that in adults, illusory embodiment of a virtual avatar can be induced using congruent visuomotor cues. Furthermore, embodying different-sized avatars influences adults' perception of their environment's size. This study (N = 92) investigated whether children are also susceptible to such embodiment and size illusions. Adults and 5-year-old children viewed a first-person perspective of different-sized avatars moving either congruently or incongruently with their own body. Participants rated their feelings of embodiment over the avatar and also estimated the sizes of their body and objects in the environment. Unlike adults, children embodied the avatar regardless of visuomotor congruency. Both adults and children freely embodied different-sized avatars, and this affected their size perception in the surrounding virtual environment; they felt that objects were larger in a small body and vice versa in a large body. In addition, children felt that their body had grown in the large body condition. These findings have important implications for both our theoretical understanding of own-body representation, and our knowledge of perception in virtual environments.

  3. Article ; Online: The Alice Springs Hospital Readmission Prevention Project (ASHRAPP): a randomised control trial.

    Diplock, Gabrielle / Ward, James / Stewart, Simon / Scuffham, Paul / Stewart, Penny / Reeve, Carole / Davidson, Lea / Maguire, Graeme

    Abstract: ... from medical and surgical admissions to Alice Springs Hospital and will be followed for 12 months. The primary ...

    Abstract Background: Hospitals are frequently faced with high levels of emergency department presentations and demand for inpatient care. An important contributing factor is the subset of patients with complex chronic diseases who have frequent and preventable exacerbations of their chronic diseases. Evidence suggests that some of these hospital readmissions can be prevented with appropriate transitional care. Whilst there is a growing body of evidence for transitional care processes in urban, non-indigenous settings, there is a paucity of information regarding rural and remote settings and, specifically, the indigenous context.
    Methods: This randomised control trial compares a tailored, multidimensional transitional care package to usual care. The objective is to evaluate the efficacy of the transitional care package for Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australian patients with chronic diseases at risk of recurrent readmission with the aim of reducing readmission rates and improving transition to primary care in a remote setting. Patients will be recruited from medical and surgical admissions to Alice Springs Hospital and will be followed for 12 months. The primary outcome measure will be number of admissions to hospital with secondary outcomes including number of emergency department presentations, number of ICU admissions, days alive and out of hospital, time to primary care review post discharge and cost-effectiveness.
    Discussion: Successful transition from hospital to home is important for patients with complex chronic diseases. Evidence suggests that a coordinated transitional care plan can result in a reduction in length of hospital stay and readmission rates for adults with complex medical needs. This will be the first study to evaluate a tailored multidimensional transitional care intervention to prevent readmission in Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australian residents of remote Australia who are frequently admitted to hospital. If demonstrated to be effective it will have implications for the care and management of Indigenous Australians throughout regional and remote Australia and in other remote, culturally and linguistically diverse populations and settings.

    Abstract: ... with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in Alice town and its environs in South Africa.: Methods: This article adopted ... their insights and perceptions on the position of disclosure rate in Alice town and its environs.: Results ...

    Abstract Aim: This article investigated the underpinnings of low HIV disclosure among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in Alice town and its environs in South Africa.
    Methods: This article adopted qualitative methodologies of interviews and focus groups involving 38 selected stakeholders to tap their insights and perceptions on the position of disclosure rate in Alice town and its environs.
    Results: The findings indicated that disclosure rate was confounded by state of immense stigma; state of conflict faced by the PLWHA from their kins and community; PLWHA fearing job victimization; and lack of adequate psychosocial support.
    Conclusions: The article recommends that the disclosure process takes place amid an environment of equilibrium between the PLWHA's intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, as well as when environment promises adequate psychosocial support. Moreover, the role of the members of social service profession is critical in advocating and preparing PLWHA for disclosure, as well as putting a conducive environment to allow disclosure.

    Abstract The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is undergoing a major upgrade with the goal of increasing the luminosity as more statistics are needed for precision measurements. The presented work pertains to the corresponding upgrade of the ALICE Muon Trigger (MTR) Detector, now named the Muon Identifier (MID). Previously operated in a triggered readout manner, this detector has transitioned to continuous readout with time-delimited data payloads. However, this results in data rates much higher than the previous operation and hence a new Online-Offline (O2) computing system is also being developed for real-time data processing to reduce the storage requirements. Part of the O2 System is based on FPGA technology and is known as the Common Readout Unit (CRU). Being common to many detectors necessitates the development of custom user logic per detector. This work concerns the development of the ALICE MID user logic which will interface to the core CRU firmware and perform the required data processing. It presents the development of a conceptual design and a prototype for the user logic. The resulting prototype shows the ability to meet the established requirements in an effective and optimized manner. Additionally, the modular design approach employed, allows for more features to be easily introduced.

  8. Article ; Online: Responses of animals and plants to physiological doses of ethanol: a molecular messenger of hypoxia?

    Abstract Our viewpoint is that ethanol could act as a molecular messenger in animal and plant organisms under conditions of hypoxia or other stresses and could elicit physiological responses to such conditions. There is evidence that both animal and plant organisms have endogenous levels of ethanol, but reports on the changes induced by this alcohol at physiological levels are sparse. Studies have shown that ethanol has different effects on cell metabolism at low and high concentrations, resembling a hormetic response. Further studies have addressed the potential cellular and molecular mechanisms used by organisms to sense changes in physiological concentrations of ethanol. This article summarizes the possible mechanisms by which ethanol may be sensed, particularly at the cell membrane level. Our analysis shows that current knowledge on this subject is limited. More research is required on the effects of ethanol at very low doses, in plants and animals at both molecular and physiological levels. We believe that further research on this topic could lead to new discoveries in physiology and may even help us understand metabolic adjustments related to climate change. As temperatures rise more frequently, dissolved oxygen levels drop, leading to hypoxic conditions and consequently, an increase in cellular ethanol levels.
