Akinetopsia: a systematic review on visual motion blindness by Johanna L. Browne, Lydia Krabbendam, Jan Dirk Blom, Jan Dirk Blom, Jan Dirk Blom

“…Bilateral lesions to V5/MT most often coincided with global akinetopsia and chronicity, although we found that the severity of the condition also depends on surviving components of the visual motion network as a whole, and—in line with the dynamic parallellism theory—the speed of moving objects. Aetiologically, most cases were associated with structural neurological conditions such as stroke and neurodegenerative disease, and fewer with intoxications or paroxysmal neurological disorders such as epilepsy. …”

Socioeconomic disparities in risk perceptions and precautionary actions against COVID-19 among the working age population aged 18–59 in Japan: a cross-sectional study by Kyoko Shimamoto, Yoko Ibuka

“…Further, these risk perceptions and precautionary actions showed unexpected relationships with socioeconomic position and health status, contrary to existing evidence or theory, particularly among younger generations and worse health populations.Conclusions This evidence suggests that risk perceptions and precautionary actions do not always seem to align, and their disparities by socioeconomic group and health status have been underscored in Japan, which may suggest complex and distinct pathways by subpopulation group. …”

Effects of Contact Angle on the Hysteresis Effect of Soil-Water Characteristic Curves during Dry-Wet Cycles by Gaoliang Tao, Ziyue Li, Lisheng Liu, Yangyang Chen, Kai Gu

“…The results show that in the strong hysteresis zone, the hysteresis characteristics of the drying and wetting SWCCs are mainly resulted from the changes in the soil pore structure; in the weak hysteresis zone, the hysteresis characteristics are mainly influenced by the changes in the receding and advancing contact angles corresponding to the drying and wetting processes. The Young–Laplace theory is used to transform the changes of contact angle during the drying and wetting processes into the proportional relationship k of matric suction, and the corresponding wetting curve is obtained by smoothing the drying curve. …”
