Spatial terms such as "above" must be used and interpreted with respect to some frame of reference. Perceptual cues for verticality were varied in four experiments to investigate whether the comprehension and production of "above" is based on a viewer-centered (deictic) frame, an environment-centered (extrinsic) frame, or an object-centered (intrinsic) frame of reference. "Above" was usually interpreted with respect to an environment-centered reference frame, but there was a significant contribution from object-centered reference frames as well; the viewer-centered reference frame made no independent contribution to "above". The meaning of "above" appears not to specify a particular reference frame; rather, selection of a reference frame during spatial assignment determines how spatial terms such as "above" and "below" will be used and interpreted.

Hypothesis: Coherent structures by low-Stokes-number particles are induced within a closed flow, in which ordered flow regions known as Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser (KAM) tori emerge. A variety of structures with different spatial characteristics has been predicted by varying the Stokes number, whereas the coexistence of structures in flow suspending various types of particles has not been hitherto demonstrated.
Experiments: Half-zone liquid bridges of O () are prepared as a closed system to induce thermocapillary-driven time-dependent flow under normal gravity conditions.

African swine fever (ASF), a severe and highly contagious haemorrhagic viral disease of pigs, is becoming a major threat not only in Malaysia but around the world. The first confirmed case of ASF in Malaysia was reported in February 2021. Despite the emergence of ASF in Malaysia, genetic information on this causative pathogen for the local livestock is still limited.

Article Synopsis
- Emergency healthcare in remote locations faces unique challenges due to limited infrastructure and resources, making it vital to understand healthcare professionals' perceptions of risks in these settings.
- This scoping review aims to assess existing scientific evidence regarding risk perceptions among healthcare professionals in remote emergency contexts, using a structured approach to filter relevant literature.
- The study will incorporate data from several key databases and is ethical since it reviews existing peer-reviewed literature, without requiring new participant involvement.
Is low-value care for persistent musculoskeletal pain more common in rural than urban areas? A scoping review.

Background: Low-value care refers to the provision of health services that confer little or no benefit to patients, or have the potential to incur unwarranted harms. A breadth of literature exists investigating geographical variations in rates of potential low-value interventions for musculoskeletal pain. This scoping review aimed to examine the provision of low-value care for osteoarthritis and lower back pain by degree of rurality (e.
