Reachable Workspace as a Clinical Outcome for Upper Extremity Function: A Narrative Review

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Motion sensing technology can be utilized to capture detailed upper extremity (UE) motion to reconstruct an individual's three‐dimensional (3D) reachable workspace (RWS). The RWS can be quantified as relative surface area (RSA), providing an innovative surrogate measure to assess UE mobility and function.

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1697-1716, April 2025.
In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

Co‐Design to Capacity: An Instructional Design Approach for Indigenous Women Empowerment and Sustainable Technology Adoption

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The adoption of rural livelihood technologies is often hindered by a gap between participatory design and user capacity. This study addresses this challenge with a co‐designed lemongrass distillation system in rural India that remained unused due to a lack of community capacity, despite a successful design process.

Education for Problems of Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Cynefin framework for decision‐making categorizes problem environments into simple (known knowns), complicated (known unknowns), complex (unknown unknowns), and chaotic (unknowables). Simple and complicated problem environments enable best and good solutions, but complex and chaotic problem environments require emergent and novel solutions.

Localization of impaired kinesthetic processing post-stroke

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2016
Kinesthesia is our sense of limb motion, and allows us to gauge the speed, direction, and amplitude of our movements. Over half of stroke survivors have significant impairments in kinesthesia, which leads to greatly reduced recovery and function in ...

Robotic Hand‐Arm Coordinated Skill Learning for Tool Manipulation Tasks

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the specific scenario of tool manipulation and presents a novel framework enabling robots to acquire tool manipulation skills through learning from human demonstrations. While there have been numerous studies on robotic manipulation skill learning, most of them fail to fully leverage the combined advantages of coordinated

Objects of Affection: Deathly Encounters With Taxidermy, Stuffed Toys and Atmospheres

Children &Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores how children and young people relate to death through affective atmospheres and embodied, imaginative encounters with taxidermy and stuffed toy animals. Using arts‐based research (ABR), we explore how death, affective atmospheres, empathy and materiality entangle during multispecies relations.
