Factors Affecting Workability01:24

Factors Affecting Workability

409
The workability of concrete is a critical characteristic that influences the ease of mixing, handling, and finishing the concrete. It is affected by several factors including water content, aggregate properties, and admixtures like air entrainment. Water plays a fundamental role as it lubricates the concrete mix, facilitating easier movement and placement. However, the water requirement varies depending on the texture and shape of aggregates. Finer particles and angular, rough-textured...

Factors Affecting Perception

3.3K
Perception is influenced by perceptual set, context, motivation, and emotion. Perceptual set, or perceptual expectancy, refers to the tendency to perceive things in a particular way, influenced by previous experiences and expectations. This phenomenon affects the interpretation of stimuli, creating a set of mental tendencies and assumptions that impact sensory perceptions of sound, taste, touch, and sight.
An illustrative example of a perceptual set is the scenario where an airline pilot told...

Language and Cognition01:27

Language and Cognition

905
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Patients typically upgrade cochlear implant (CI) speech processors after about 5 years, often due to age or warranty expiration. While upgrades didn't significantly improve speech scores, many recipients reported satisfaction.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Cochlear implant (CI) speech processors evolve technologically, prompting patient upgrades for new features or device failure.
  • Understanding upgrade timelines and patient experiences is crucial for managing CI technology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Identify factors influencing the time to a speech processor upgrade.
  • Evaluate patient satisfaction and experiences post-upgrade.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cohort study of 46 CI surgeries.
  • Data collected: demographics, hearing loss, CI manufacturer, insurance, configuration.
  • Analysis of time to upgrade, reasons, satisfaction, and speech perception.

Main Results:

  • Mean time to upgrade was 5.13 years.
  • Primary upgrade reasons: device age (>5 years) and out of warranty.
  • 45.7% satisfied, 8.7% dissatisfied; no significant change in speech perception.

Conclusions:

  • Upgrade timing aligns with insurance medical necessity guidelines.
  • Demographics, insurance, and manufacturer did not significantly impact upgrade time.
  • Subjective patient satisfaction is notable despite no significant objective speech improvement.
