This study investigates the factors influencing consumer acceptance of certain types of innovation in handicraft products.Another aim of the article is construct/scale development applicable to handicrafts because our study collected scale items from other studies and tried to develop constructs applicable to handicraft products.The descriptive ana
Extracellular vesicles from hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stromal cells: isolation, characterization and therapeutic potential for chronic wound healing
Abstract Background Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and their extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) have demonstrated to elicit immunomodulatory and pro-regenerative properties that are beneficial for the treatment of chronic wounds.Thanks to different mediators, MSC-EVs have shown to play an important role in the proliferation, migration and cell surv
Eye movement characteristics of emotional face recognizing task in patients with mild to moderate depression
ObjectiveDepression is a complex affective disorder characterized by high prevalence and severe impact, commonly presenting with cognitive impairment.The objective diagnosis of depression lacks precise standards.This study investigates eye movement characteristics during emotional face recognition task (EFRT) in depressive patients to provide empir
Crowd flow forecasting via agent-based simulations with sequential latent parameter estimation from aggregate observation
Abstract Unlike conventional crowd simulations for what-if analysis, agent-based crowd simulations for real-time applications are an emerging research topic and an important tool for better crowd managements in smart cities.Recent studies have attempted to incorporate the real-time crowd observations into crowd simulations for real-time crowd forec
Toward an application of automatic evaluation system for central facial palsy using two simple evaluation indices in emergency medicine
Frame Parts Abstract A stroke is a medical emergency and thus requires immediate treatment.Paramedics should accurately assess suspected stroke patients and promptly transport them to a hospital with stroke care facilities; however, current assessment procedures rely on subjective visual assessment.We aim to develop an automatic evaluation system f
