Flexible usage of object and global scene information during human scene categorization.

The human ability to categorize scenes has been related to the usage of both object and global scene information. In three experiments (carried out in 2024), we compared the utility of these sources of information and assessed the time course of their usage by reducing scenes to single objects or visualizations of global scene information (textures). Experiment 1 showed that both types of information were of comparable utility under controlled viewing conditions and could be used concurrently. However, a simple combination of object and global scene information was not sufficient to explain fa

Health literacy in a community with low levels of education: findings from Chakaria, a rural area of Bangladesh.

BACKGROUND: Health literacy (HL) helps individuals to make effective use of available health services. In low-income countries such as Bangladesh, the less than optimum use of services could be due to low levels of HL. Bangladesh's health service delivery is pluralistic with a mix of public, private and informally trained healthcare providers. Emphasis on HL has been inadequate. Thus, it is important to assess the levels of HL and service utilization patterns. The findings from this study aim to bridge the knowledge gap. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The data for this study came from a cross-section

Matching the Genotype in Resolution: Innovative Ways of Phenotype Capture.

Social and spatial context are important determinants of morbidity and mortality. However, there is little clarity about the role of context for kidney disease specifically, particularly before the end stage. Meanwhile, research clarifying the clinical, cellular, molecular, and genetic causes of kidney disease is accelerating considerably. We postulate that without contextual information, even the most detailed biomedical information cannot fully capture the factors that ultimately drive the development and progression of kidney disease. The Nephrotic Syndrome Study Network is integrating deta

Exploring complementary medicine practitioners' attitudes towards the use of an immunization decision aid, and its potential acceptability for use with clients to reduce vaccine related decisional conflict.

While Australia boasts a high immunization rate, geographical pockets of low uptake still challenge herd immunity on a community level. For some parents, concerns about immunization lead to distrust of conventional sources of vaccine information and complementary medicine (CM) practitioners may be more readily trusted as a source of information about vaccines. Decision aids are common educational resources that are developed to support informed decision making. We interviewed CM practitioners to explore their attitudes to immunization decision aids in general and the acceptability of recommend

Information content and interpretation of CSD non-trivially depends on array density.

Objective.We aim to determine whether commonly-used current source density (CSD) estimation techniques provide valid results when used with recordings from the latest generation of high-density arrays and how the density affects signal interpretation.Approach.We first develop an analytic formulation for the contributions of Gaussian current sources to an estimated CSD as a function of current source position and array density. We then simulate local field potential recordings in a biophysically detailed model of a subvolume of rat somatosensory cortex, and compare estimated current source dens
