Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication01:30

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

210
Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

Interference: Path Lengths01:10

Interference: Path Lengths

2.2K
Consider two sources of sound, that may or may not be in phase, emitting waves at a single frequency, and consider the frequencies to be the same.
Two special sources may be considered when they are in phase. This can be easily achieved by feeding the two sources from the same source. An example would be synchronizing the two speakers by feeding them with the same source, such as the sound waves produced by a tuning fork. This setup ensures that the two sources have the same frequency and are...

Bond Energies and Bond Lengths02:49

Bond Energies and Bond Lengths

31.6K
Stable molecules exist because covalent bonds hold the atoms together. The strength of a covalent bond is measured by the energy required to break it, that is, the energy necessary to separate the bonded atoms. Separating any pair of bonded atoms requires energy — the stronger a bond, the greater the energy required to break it.

Renal Drug Clearance: Comparison Between Renal Excretion Methods01:08

Renal Drug Clearance: Comparison Between Renal Excretion Methods

630
Renal clearance is a critical parameter encompassing kidney filtration, secretion, and reabsorption processes. It is calculated using a specific equation to determine the rate at which the kidneys clear a drug.
Renal clearance is often associated with the renal glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which represents the rate at which plasma is filtered through the glomeruli in the kidney. When drug reabsorption is minimal and there is no active secretion, renal clearance is closely related to the...

Uncertainty in Measurement: Significant Figures03:34

Uncertainty in Measurement: Significant Figures

83.7K
All the digits in a measurement, including the uncertain last digit, are called significant figures or significant digits. Note that zero may be a measured value; for example, if a scale that shows weight to the nearest pound reads “140,” then the 1 (hundreds), 4 (tens), and 0 (ones) are all significant (measured) values.

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

56.1K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Summary

Digital 3D stereophotogrammetry offers reliable digit length and ratio measurements comparable to traditional methods. While digit lengths align across techniques, direct anthropometry yields higher ratios than 3D imaging.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Anthropometry
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Accurate anthropometric measurements are crucial in various medical and research fields.
  • Traditional methods like direct anthropometry and 2D scanning have limitations in precision and reproducibility.
  • Digital 3D stereophotogrammetry presents a novel, non-contact approach for capturing detailed anatomical data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the accuracy and reliability of digital 3D stereophotogrammetry with direct anthropometry and 2D scanning for digit measurements.
  • To assess intraobserver agreement and inter-method agreement for digit length and second-to-fourth digit ratios.

Main Methods:

  • Digital 3D stereophotogrammetry, direct anthropometry, and 2D scanning were used to measure digit lengths.
  • The second-to-fourth digit ratio was calculated for each method.
  • Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and technical error of measurement (TEM) were employed to evaluate agreement.

Main Results:

  • All three methods demonstrated high intraobserver agreement for digit length (ICC > 0.97, TEM < 1 mm).
  • Direct anthropometry showed lower intraobserver agreement for digit ratios (ICC = 0.87) compared to indirect methods.
  • High agreement was found for digit length measurements across methods (ICC 0.93–0.98), but digit ratios differed, with direct anthropometry yielding higher values than 3D/2D methods.

Conclusions:

  • Digital 3D stereophotogrammetry provides reliable digit measurements with high intraobserver agreement, comparable to traditional techniques.
  • Digit length measurements are consistent across 3D stereophotogrammetry, 2D scanning, and direct anthropometry.
  • Discrepancies in digit ratios highlight potential differences in measurement protocols between direct anthropometry and indirect imaging methods.
