Abstract:

Personality is often defined as the behaviour of individual animals that is consistent across contexts and over time. Personality traits may become unstable during stages of ontogeny from infancy to adulthood, especially during major periods of development such as around the time of sexual maturation. The personality of domesticated farm animals has links with productivity, health and welfare, but to our knowledge, no studies have investigated the development and stability of personality traits across developmental life stages in a mammalian farm animal species. Here, we describe the consistency of personality traits across ontogeny in dairy cattle from neonate to first lactation as an adult. The personality traits ‘bold’ and ‘exploratory’, as measured by behavioural responses to novelty, were highly consistent during the earlier (before and after weaning from milk) and later (after puberty to first lactation) rearing periods, but were not consistent across these rearing periods when puberty occurred. These findings indicate that personality changes in cattle around sexual maturation are probably owing to major physiological changes that are accelerated under typical management conditions at this time. This work contributes to the understanding of the ontogeny of behaviour in farm animals, especially how and why individuals differ in their behaviour.

Abstract:

Filled pauses are widely considered as a relatively consistent feature of an individual's speech. However, acoustic consistency has only been observed within single-session recordings. By comparing filled pauses in two recordings made >2.5 years apart, this study investigates within-speaker consistency of the vowels in the filled pauses uh and um, in both first language (L1) Dutch and second language (L2) English, produced by student speakers who are known to converge in other speech features. Results show that despite minor within-speaker differences between languages, the spectral characteristics of filled pauses in L1 and L2 remained stable over time.

Abstract:

Double-blind, randomised controlled studies represent the gold-standard approach to determine the safety and efficacy of therapeutic interventions. In chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), long-term data are vital to confirm maintenance of effect and identify potential safety signals. The recent introduction of numerous biological therapies for RA has been followed by various long-term extension (LTE) studies. Although useful, the design and method of analysis in such studies vary significantly, partly due to their complexity. This viewpoint highlights general considerations needed when undertaking a LTE study and illustrates the lack of consistency in studies of RA to date. It addresses issues of selection bias, patient discontinuation and missing data. Although used for safety reporting, the lack of adequate powering makes LTE studies of limited benefit. Ethical considerations and challenges are highlighted, including potential conflicts of interest. Finally, the authors suggest the need for consensus to ensure more reliable interpretation and application of data for clinical practice. Following the development of guidelines on reporting of clinical trials in RA and more recently, registry data, a similar approach for LTE studies would be a useful endeavour.

Abstract:

AbstractIt was the purpose of this study to assess the consistency of selected animal-based welfare parameters for dairy cattle throughout a one-year period. Eight cubicle-housed dairy herds were visited five times, at two-monthly intervals. At each visit, lameness, injuries to the carpal and tarsal joints, cleanliness, social behaviour and the avoidance distance towards an unknown person were assessed by the same observer in a random sample.At herd level, lesions of the carpal joints, udder cleanliness and frequencies of agonistic and cohesive behaviour showed low consistency. However, correlations between consecutive recordings as well as between single visits and the average were moderate to satisfactory for lameness prevalence, lesions of the tarsal joints, cleanliness of the hind leg and avoidance distances towards an unknown person in two different locations. The integration of these parameters into on-farm welfare assessment protocols seems to be justified.

Abstract:

Individual prey often exhibit consistent behavioural differences in responses to risk. Here, we assess whether such behavioural consistency is linked to morphological changes that are known to result in differences in vulnerability to predators. Some fishes increase their depth-to-length ratio when under increased risk of predation, thereby reducing their risk to gape-limited predators. However, the development of these defences is limited by available resources. We asked whether behavioural tendencies associated with shelter seeking and activity are linked to differences in growth patterns. Common carp classified as ‘active/non-sheltering’ or ‘passive/sheltering’ based on their movement patterns and shelter use, showed consistency in behaviour over a 10-month period with active/non-sheltering fish developing a greater depth to length ratio than passive/sheltering fish. The effectiveness of anti-predator strategies in animals is an integrative function of both behaviour and morphology. Our works highlights a fascinating link between behavioural consistency and the development of adaptive morphologies.

Abstract:

Abstract Tests of long-term consistency in personality differences are not abundant. We studied personality in common waxbills (Estrilda astrild) from one Autumn to the next, and also from Autumn to a subsequent Spring, using a behavioural assay for their proactive-reactive personality axis (mirror test) and for tonic immobility. From one Autumn to the next, individual differences were consistent and the population median behaviours did not change, indicating long-term stability of personality differences. From Autumn to Spring, behavioural differences remained consistent, despite the population shifting to more proactive behaviour and individual differences being accentuated in the proactive-reactive personality axis. This increase in personality differences was not found between the two previous Autumns, suggesting a seasonal rather than longitudinal change, and a possible role for personality differences during the Spring breeding season. We conclude that waxbill personality differences are stable in the long term, despite changes in behaviour between Autumn and Spring.

Abstract:

This paper proposes LTC-Mapping, a method for building object-oriented semantic maps that remain consistent in the long-term operation of mobile robots. Among the different challenges that compromise this aim, LTC-Mapping focuses on two of the more relevant ones: preventing duplicate instances of objects (instance duplication) and handling dynamic scenes. The former refers to creating multiple instances of the same physical object in the map, usually as a consequence of partial views or occlusions. The latter deals with the typical assumption made by object-oriented mapping methods that the world is static, resulting in outdated representations when the objects change their positions. To face these issues, we model the detected objects with 3D bounding boxes, and analyze the visibility of their vertices to detect occlusions and partial views. Besides this geometric modeling, the boxes are augmented with semantic information regarding the categories of the objects they represent. Both the geometric entities (bounding boxes) and their semantic content are propagated over time through data association and a fusion technique. In addition, in order to keep the map curated, the non-detection of objects in the areas where they should appear is also considered, proposing a mechanism that removes them from the map once there is evidence that they have been moved (i.e., multiple non-detections occur). To validate our proposal, a number of experiments have been carried out using the Robot@VirtualHome ecosystem, comparing its performance with a state-of-the-art alternative. The results report a superior performance of LTC-Mapping when modeling both geometric and semantic information of objects, and also support its online execution.

Abstract:

Motor learning involves reorganization of the primary motor cortex (M1). However, it remains unclear how the involvement of M1 in movement control changes during long-term learning. To address this, we trained mice in a forelimb-based motor task over months and performed optogenetic inactivation and two-photon calcium imaging in M1 during the long-term training. We found that M1 inactivation impaired the forelimb movements in the early and middle stages, but not in the late stage, indicating that the movements that initially required M1 became independent of M1. As previously shown, M1 population activity became more consistent across trials from the early to middle stage while task performance rapidly improved. However, from the middle to late stage, M1 population activity became again variable despite consistent expert behaviors. This later decline in activity consistency suggests dissociation between M1 and movements. These findings suggest that long-term motor learning can disengage M1 from movement control.

Abstract:

The international stability is viewed as corollary of the sustainable growth. This has only technology-driven solution, at global village extension, with required appropriateness and shared acceptation. The survey, on such guess, looks at the robot age potential, as supplementary aid in the balanced world deployment that adds to the socio-economic and politico-legal frames. The analysis moves from the globalisation issues, at the known (economic) global and (ecologic) no-global pictures, to outline the traits of the post-global robot age, consistent with the sustainable growth, international stability, and grounded on the force of the law. Stability based on the law of the force was the past option, even allowing steady truces. In this analysis, globalisation makes this choice unfit, having doubtful economic and social sustainability and not achieving ecologic sustainability consistently and for the long term.

Abstract:

The dynamics of vegetation cover plays an important role in global environment evaluation. Due to the spatial, spectral and radiometric differences among different remote sensing platforms, building long-term and consistent vegetation index (VI) time series is desired to derive comparable vegetation health. In this paper, an approach called Min_Max stretch transformation (MMST) was proposed to generate long-term and consistent VI series based on spatio-temporal association analysis between AVHRR NDVI and MODIS EVI. The proposed approach intended to map AVHRR NDVI to MODIS EVI level and thus both VI products provided consistent VI series. The consistency of the transformed dataset was further evaluated.

Abstract:

Background: Previous research focused on relationship commitment as the outcome of high satisfaction, poor alternatives, and high investments. We propose that commitment is a prerequisite in highly satisfied couples, fostering relationship maintenance behavior such as positive dyadic coping. Method: Structural equation models identified the relationship between commitment, relationship satisfaction, and dyadic coping with data from 201 heterosexual couples with an average relationship length of 34 years. Results: The common fate model confirmed that relationship satisfaction mediated the effects between commitment and dyadic coping on a latent dyadic level. Additional analyses revealed that women’s satisfaction was mainly responsible for mediating effects between both partners’ commitment and dyadic coping. Conclusions: Findings support the essentiality of commitment for couples’ maintenance strategies and for consistency in long-term relationships.

Abstract:

A critical dimension of Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) activity in long-term care is an analysis of the care environment, that is, the way care and services are organized. The purpose of this study was to develop and pilot test a psychometrically sound tool that long-term care staff could use to assess the care environment and guide performance improvement activity. Focus groups with 57 interdisciplinary participants in five nursing homes developed initial items, with excellent content validity (item content validity index = 1.0) evaluated by an expert panel. Pilot testing of internal consistency of the Care Environment Scale–Long-Term Care (CES-LTC) was conducted in a web-based administration of the items by 425 interdisciplinary staff members in 30 nursing homes and four assisted living facilities. The CES-LTC is internally consistent (Cronbach’s alpha = .90) and accounts for approximately 71.6% of the total variance. The three factors extracted from the exploratory factor analysis are Institutional Values ( k = 6), Access to Resources ( k = 10), and Person-Centered Approaches ( k = 12). Intrarater reliability in a subsample of 66 registered nurses revealed good test-retest results (overall intraclass correlation coefficients [ICC] = 0.78). The CES-LTC appears to be a valid and reliable measure of staff perceptions of the care environment and may be used to actively engage staff in QAPI endeavors including root cause analyses and improvement activity.

Abstract:

Abstract Small, individually owned long-term care facilities experienced unique challenges to accessing infection prevention knowledge and resources during the COVID-19 pandemic. Three data sets were analyzed: 1) Multi-state qualitative interviews with public health and regulatory staff in spring 2021; 2) Online survey of Washington state adult family home providers on infection control knowledge and practices in fall 2020; 3) Non-regulatory Infection Control Assessment and Response evaluations conducted between March 2020 and January 2021. Consistent findings across datasets were ongoing difficulty obtaining personal protective equipment (PPE), inability to implement isolation precautions and high vulnerability to staffing shortages. Small facilities showed strengths in consistency of leadership and engagement with public health outreach. Facility size is a key factor in infection prevention disparities for older adults living in residential care. Promising policy interventions are prioritization of small facilities for PPE distribution and increasing the availability of public health infection prevention expertise.

Abstract:

An information-theoretic measure of language consistency is constructed from the text of 13 years of trade journal articles on the biotechnology industry. This measure is then related to the trading volume of a representative portfolio of biotechnology stocks. Findings indicate that language consistency and trading volume have a joint (positive) influence on each other over the long term; however, sharp drops in consistency are also predictive of transient spikes in trading volume. The significance of these findings is discussed in relation to modern theories of legitimation and the economics of surprise.
