The cerebellum is known to support motor behaviors, including postural stability, but new research supports the view that cerebellar function is also critical for perception of spatial orientation, particularly because of its role in vestibular processing.

Many countries, including Sri Lanka, are taking steps to integrate sex education into their educational systems to combat child abuse. However, this effort is often met with skepticism in Asian nations, including Sri Lanka. This study takes a unique approach by applying the criteria of the health belief model to predict the quality of reproductive health (SRH) education in Sri Lanka, offering a fresh perspective on this issue.

The subjective visual vertical (VV), the visually estimated direction of gravity, is essential for assessing vestibular function and visuospatial cognition. In this study, we aimed to investigate the mechanisms underlying altered VV perception in stroke participants with unilateral spatial neglect (USN), specifically by examining their eye movement patterns during VV judgment tasks. Participants with USN demonstrated limited eye movement scanning along a rotating bar, often fixating on prominent ends, such as the top or bottom.

Rev Sci Instrum
January 2025
Article Synopsis
- Capacitive sensors are essential for superconducting gravimeters due to their precision and minimal drift, prompting the development of a cryogenic front-end circuit to address parasitic capacitance issues.
- The new circuit includes a noiseless superconducting transformer and a low-noise cryogenic preamplifier, significantly boosting the transfer coefficient and reducing displacement noise compared to circuits operating at room temperature.
- Testing of the cryogenic front-end circuit with a superconducting gravimeter showed that the gravity data aligned well with theoretical models, indicating its effectiveness and stability over time.

Background: The number of patients with neurological disorders and severe disability is increasing globally. These patients often need help with positioning and the amount of support varies with their level of impairment. High rates of work-related musculoskeletal disorders are observed among healthcare professionals (HCP) with patient contact due to injuries during manual handling.

Article Synopsis
- Desertification poses a significant challenge to sustainable development globally, but the Mu Us Sandy Land has successfully reversed it through effective national policies, showcasing positive ecological, economic, and social outcomes.
- Long-term monitoring data is currently lacking, making it hard to fully understand the ongoing dynamics and factors driving these changes; thus, there's an urgent need for quantitative assessments of ecological restoration efforts.
- Using Google Earth Engine and remote sensing data, this study produced a high-accuracy dataset showing a 69.45% decrease in desertification from 1986 to 2020 in the Mu Us Sandy Land, along with improvements in vegetation growth, demonstrating the effectiveness of restoration policies.
