Vocal Instabilities in Untrained Female Singers.
J Voice
January 2025
Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, OH.
Objectives: This study aimed to identify voice instabilities across registration shifts produced by untrained female singers and describe them relative to changes in fundamental frequency, airflow, intensity, inferred adduction, and acoustic spectra.
Study Design: Multisignal descriptive study.
Methods: Five untrained female singers sang up to 30 repetitions of octave scales.
Unraveling the relationships among pandemic fear, cyberchondria, and alexithymia after China's exit from the zero-COVID policy: insights from a multi-center network analysis.

Article Synopsis
- China's end of the zero-COVID policy in late 2022 led to a healthcare crisis, increasing psychological stress among providers, including fear and health anxiety.
- A study with 4,088 nurses used surveys to investigate the relationships between pandemic fear, cyberchondria (excessive health-related internet searching), and alexithymia (difficulty identifying emotions).
- Results showed strong connections among these factors, with externally oriented thinking being a key link, suggesting that interventions should focus on fostering emotional awareness and effective coping strategies in healthcare settings.
Frictional Performance of Geometrically Modified Footwear Outsoles with Obliquely Oriented Tread Patterns.
IISE Trans Occup Ergon Hum Factors
January 2025
Centre for Biomedical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), New Delhi, India.
OCCUPATIONAL APPLICATIONSWe systematically examined the effect of obliquely-oriented shoe tread channels on traction performance, by manipulating tread angle, thickness, and gap width across 24 outsole designs. Through robotic slipping tribotesting and computational fluid dynamics modeling, outsoles with a tread inclination angle of 75 and 105 degrees, 2 mm tread thickness, and 5 mm gap width exhibited superior dry and wet traction. This work introduces experimental and computational techniques, offering potential for footwear manufacturers and those who prefer formal shoes to understand the effect of designs on the slip-resistance of a footwear for better safety.

However, approximately 10% of paediatric clinical trials discontinue before the trial has completed. If this premature termination is because the trial treatment(s) being investigated are identified to be ineffective or unsafe, it results in the abrupt discontinuation of the investigational medicinal product for participants.
