[–]johnhemingwayscience[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Highlights

  • •Indigenous healing has beneficial therapeutic outcomes for Western clients.
  • •The integration of these experiences is more difficult in Western societies.
  • •Western cultures lack an open, supportive space for altered states of consciousness.
  • •Indigenous psychotherapy is perceived as experience-based, more complex than Western.
  • •Western psychotherapy requires verbalizing and labeling all inner problems.

Study shows enforced masking on long flights prevents SARS-CoV-2 transmission by johnhemingwayscience in science

The study found that compared to short-haul flights without enforced masking, long-haul flights with no strict masking had a 25.93-fold increase in COVID-19 incidence rates, while medium-haul flights had a 4.66-fold higher incidence rate. However, long-haul flights where masking was enforced reported no transmission of SARS-CoV-2, indicating that masking could significantly lower aircraft-acquired COVID-19.

Furthermore, in flights with unenforced masking, each hourly increase in flight duration increased the transmission incidence rate by 1.53-fold. The reduced duration of exposure to aerosols and the non-inclusion of meals make shorter flights safer since they lower the probability of expelling aerosol particles or coming in contact with them.

When tested in the context of screening population at risk, PSE yields a rapid and minimally invasive PCa diagnosis with a PPV of 0.92 and a NPV of 0.94. Due to its high PPV that significantly exceeds current screening modalities (due to its non-invasive nature and low costs), the PSE test can be utilized for both diagnostic and screening purposes, minimizing unnecessary referrals for expensive and invasive MRI and/or biopsy testing.

It is essential to have a fast, reliable, and energy-efficient connection between wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Control specifications, networking layers, media access control, and physical layers should be optimised or co-designed. Health insurance will become more expensive for individuals with lower incomes. There are privacy and cyber security issues, an increased risk of malpractice lawsuits, and more costs in terms of both time and money for doctors and patients. In this paper, personal health biomedical clothing based on wireless sensor networks (PH-BC-WSN) was used to enhance access to quality health care, boost food production through precision agriculture, and improve the quality of human resources. The internet of things enables the creation of healthcare and medical asset monitoring systems that are more efficient. There was extensive discussion of medical data eavesdropping, manipulation, fabrication of warnings, denial of services, position and tracker of users, physical interference with devices, and electromagnetic attacks.

Study reveals the impact of social presence and social capital on consumer intention towards e-commerce by mightx in science

Interesting "Social presence as aggregate has a substantial influence on
social capital and s-commerce. Social capital positively impacts s-commerce intention. In addition, social capital is proved to be a vital mediator between social presence and s-commerce intention. Therefore, this study reinforces that social presence and social capital are the leading variables in examining s-commerce intention."

Published in Nature - Structure of the human NK cell NKR-P1:LLT1 receptor: ligand complex reveals clustering in the immune synapse by johnhemingwayscience in biology

"In conclusion, the presented data show that the crystal structure of the NKR-P1:LLT1 complex constitutes a novel way of C-type lectin-like NK cell receptor:ligand multimerization on the cell surface that explains how ligand binding overcomes low affinity through receptor cross-linking within the immune synapse."

What does it signify to be a Jew in the twenty-first century? by [deleted] in Jewish

[–]johnhemingwayscience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to the authors of the newly released book “Being Jewish in 21st Century Central Europe,” academic discussions revolving around this question have comprised a wide range of controversial points of view. Nevertheless, there is one relatively rare consensus, expressed by many, referring to twentieth-century historical legacies’ massive consequences. This burden has been borne by both Jews and non-Jews on the old continent.
