Study Design: Methodological study design: translation and test-retest reliability testing.
Objectives: To translate International Spinal Cord Injury Quality of Life Basic Data Set (ISCIQoLBDS) Version 1.0 into Hindi language and conduct reliability testing of Hindi ISCIQoLBDS (hISCIQoLBDS).
Setting: The study was conducted at Indian Spinal Injuries Centre, New Delhi, India.
Methods: The study was done in two phases-translation of ISCIQoLBDS Version 1.0 into Hindi language and reliability testing of hISCIQoLBDS. In the translation phase, the data set was forward translated by two independent professional translators. Then backward translation was done by another pair of professional translators to ensure the essence of the data set. For their feedback, field testing of hISCIQoLBDS was done on ten individuals with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). After this, an expert panel reviewed their recommendations, and the final hISCIQoLBDS was administered on 50 participants with SCI for test-retest reliability of the data set.
Results: hISCIQoLBDS was found to be equivalent to ISCIQoLBDS Version 1.0 on back-translation. It showed high test-retest reliability for each item in the data set. Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (95% CI) for items of hISCIQoLBDS was within the range of (0.91-0.98).
Conclusion: The hISCIQoLBDS is a stepwise systematic Hindi translation of the ISCIQoLBDS Version 1.0 for the Hindi literate population with high test-retest reliability. It can facilitate international data exchange on the quality of life (QoL) of Hindi literate individuals with SCI.

Introduction: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a global health issue, and its nonspecific causes make treatment challenging. Understanding the neural mechanisms of CLBP should contribute to developing effective therapies.
Objectives: To compare current source density (CSD) and functional connectivity (FC) extracted from resting electroencephalography (EEG) between patients with CLBP and healthy controls and to examine the correlations between EEG indices and symptoms.

Immersive journalism is an innovative storytelling approach that aims to enable the audience to experience the event or situation in the news using virtual reality, unlike traditional news narration. In this study, the literature related to the subject was searched using the keywords Immersive Journalism, 360-Degree Video, Narrative journalism, Newsgame, VR Storytelling through the Web of Science database and a data set was created from 955 publications between 1999 and 2023. No filter was applied to the studies in the data set of the study and articles, books, and early access publications as well as book chapters, editorial materials or conference proceedings in the Web of Science database were included in the study.

Background: Cellular senescence is considered a new marker of cancer. It has been suggested that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) can be used to predict the prognosis of cancers. However, it remains to be seen whether the lncRNAs associated with cellular senescence can be used to predict the prognosis of gastric cancer (GC).

Studying nocturnal behavior is crucial for understanding the full scope of a species' behavioral flexibility so as to inform the conservation of wild populations and the care of captive individuals. However, this aspect of primate behavior is understudied, especially in great apes, which exhibit some of the widest documented behavioral diversity and flexibility. Our investigation is among the first to systematically compare the 24 h activity patterns and behavioral activities of captive chimpanzees (Saint Louis Zoo, USA) with those of wild chimpanzees (three sites across the Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park in the Republic of Congo) and a published data set of the nocturnal behavior of all chimpanzee subspecies.
