The authors have designed two variants of the "verbal projective test" (VPT) in view of the lack of a projective method genetically similar to the TAT, according to which, however, emotionally saturated, indefinite phrases as regards the content could be used as stimulus material. Theoretically, it could be of special interest in psychopathological cases associated with thinking disorders, as well as "compensate" for the tendency toward TAT aging. Using VPT 19 probands with little progressive neurosis-like schizophrenia and 19 probands with lingering neuroses were examined. The findings were estimated polyfactorially in terms of the main assumptions of TAT interpretation but with a mandatory inclusion into the analysis of the lexico-grammatical evaluation of the stories. It has been established in the course of the work that the leading differences in the delimiting of neuroses and little progressive neurosis-like schizophrenia are emotional disorders (their character and intensity) diagnosed, equally to certain thinking disorders, with the aid of the new method. It has been also shown that the new VPT is fit for analysis of the speech of the persons suffering from various mental disorders.

Background And Objectives: Numerous traditional and innovative approaches have been employed to understand and evaluate children's food preferences and food and nutrition knowledge, recognizing their essential role in shaping good nutrition. Drawing as a projective technique allows children to express their unconscious thoughts and preferences through visual representation, distinguishing it from other methods by providing an insight into their inner feelings and perceptions that may not be easily articulated through verbal techniques. The main goals of the study are to use drawing as a projective technique to gain insights into children's food preferences, and to examine the children's current nutrition knowledge and dietary perceptions.

Single view metrology poses a persistent challenge in extracting accurate quantitative information from individual images or video frames within the realm of forensic video analysis. Methods such as reverse projection, projective geometry, and photogrammetry have been used in the past with success but require validation and understanding of the limitations of each method. This study aims to conduct a preliminary validation of the subject height estimation feature in Amped FIVE software, which relies on the principles of single view metrology.

In response to escalating concerns about the indoor transmission of respiratory diseases, this study introduces a sophisticated software tool engineered to accurately determine contact rates among individuals in enclosed spaces-essential for public health surveillance and disease transmission mitigation. The tool applies YOLOv8, a cutting-edge deep learning model that enables precise individual detection and real-time tracking from video streams. An innovative feature of this system is its dynamic circular buffer zones, coupled with an advanced 2D projective transformation to accurately overlay video data coordinates onto a digital layout of the physical environment.

Consumer food preferences are constantly evolving, necessitating research to understand consumer intentions, habits, and attitudes. Dry aging was traditionally used for meat preservation and flavor enhancement. To assess current perceptions, an online questionnaire distributed via social media (snowball sampling) gathered data from 126 consumers.

This plays a critical role in applying diffraction enhanced imaging to biological and medical imaging. In this study, an improved diffraction enhanced imaging method is proposed to rapidly implement X-ray trimodal computed tomography.
