Transport Number01:31

Transport Number

The transport number is the fraction of the total current carried by an ion in an electrolyte solution. It is defined as the ratio of the current carried by a specific ion to the total current flowing through the solution. The transport number, t, is central to understanding ionic mobility, which describes how fast an ion moves under the influence of an electric field. This link connects the physical behavior of ions in solution to the chemical processes that occur during electrochemical...
Measurement: Standard Units03:38

Measurement: Standard Units

Every measurement provides three kinds of information: the size or magnitude of the measurement (a number), a standard of comparison for the measurement (a unit), and an indication of the uncertainty of the measurement. While the number and unit are explicitly represented when a quantity is written, the uncertainty is an aspect of the errors in the measurement results.
Inertial Frames of Reference01:03

Inertial Frames of Reference

Newton’s first law is usually considered to be a statement about reference frames. It provides a method for identifying a special type of reference frame: the inertial reference frame. In principle, we can make the net force on a body zero. If its velocity relative to a given frame is constant, then that frame is said to be inertial. So, by definition, an inertial reference frame is a reference frame where Newton's first law holds valid. Newton's first law applies to objects with constant...
Units and Standards of Measurement01:10

Units and Standards of Measurement

A physical quantity is defined either by specifying its measurement method or by stating how it is calculated from other measurements. For example, consider a metallic cube. We might define its mass and dimensions by specifying methods for measuring them, such as using a weighing machine and a meter scale. Then, we could define the volume by stating that it is the cube of its side, and we could calculate the density as the mass divided by the volume.

SI Units: 2019 Redefinition

Measurement is an indispensable part of analytical chemistry. The result of measurement helps quantify a substance's physical property and compare it with the physical property of another substance. Each measurement comprises two components - a number indicating the magnitude and a unit of measurement as a standard for comparison. Further, the same quantity can be measured using different units of measurement, which leads to differences in magnitude.
A standard set of units has been defined to...

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology and Rehabilitation
  • Health Sciences
  • Disability Studies

Background:

  • Existing instruments for assessing function and mobility in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) lack comprehensiveness.
  • A standardized framework is needed to describe the full spectrum of functioning impairments in AS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a comprehensive International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Core Set for ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
  • To establish a standardized list of relevant ICF categories for describing functioning in AS.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework.
  • Selected 80 ICF categories identified as typical and relevant for ankylosing spondylitis (AS).

Main Results:

  • The Comprehensive ICF Core Set for AS includes 80 specific ICF categories.
  • This set acknowledges the importance of physical functioning, mobility, and contextual factors (environmental and personal) in AS.
  • It reflects a bio-psycho-social model of health and functioning.

Conclusions:

  • The Comprehensive ICF Core Set for AS provides a novel reference for clinical practice and research.
  • It enhances understanding of the complexity of functioning in AS.
  • Serves as a foundation for developing new instruments to assess global or specific aspects of functioning in AS.
