![]() If the PCR test also returns a positive result, you and your family will have to self-isolate and follow the guidance from NHS Test and Trace. If ordering a PCR test yourselves, they should choose to visit a drive-through or walk-in test site if possible, as this is quicker than requesting and waiting for a home test.ĭuring this time, while they wait for the PCR result (via text / email), students will need to self-isolate. Woodbrook Vale School will be able to provide these PCR test kits to perform at home but we know it is faster if you can go to or call 119 to book a follow-up test. ![]() Students who test positive will need to take a further ‘PCR test’ on the same day (or as soon as possible). Guidance on safe travel and additional precautions will be provided along with test results. Participating students who test positive will be informed about their results and parents and carers will be notified at the same time. The tests have lower sensitivity but they are better at picking up cases when a person has higher viral load, hence the need to test frequently. We are told that in validation studies conducted by Oxford University and Public Health England, they were shown to be as accurate in identifying a case as a PCR test (99.68% specificity). The government has assured us that these tests work. You might also find the ‘Data Protection Frequently Asked Question for parents – COVID testing in We will be required to share the results with Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) digital services for the NHS Test and Trace purposes and a privacy notice explaining this can be found here. Results (which take around half an hour from testing) will be carefully recorded and where positive, parents and carers will be informed straight away and asked to collect their child. ![]() An instructional leaflet with some more information can be accessed here: How to do your test: COVID 19 instruction leaflet for schools () Staff will oversee the swab process and be kind and supportive of our students. The ‘lateral flow’ tests are quick and easy using a swab of your nose and throat. Trained staff will supervise all students taking the test. If you are willing to allow your child to be tested, please fill in the consent form via this link: Thereafter, serial contact testing will take place where we will only need to test a student again, if they are in the contact group for a positive case. The hope is that as many students as possible will be tested on their return with a test which is repeated after three to five days. We will be testing all students whose parents/carers have given consent, from week commencing 11 January 2021 for Year 11 and Keyworker/vulnerable students and 18 January 2021 for all other students. The test is voluntary, but I would encourage everyone to take it. By testing, we will help to stop the virus spread and help to keep our school open as safely as possible. Up to one third of people who have coronavirus experience no symptoms. Along with the other protective measures we are taking, these tests will help staff and students to remain in school safely. Testing for those without coronavirus symptoms is beginning across the country using new, quick COVID-19 tests known as ‘lateral flow tests’ (LFTs). ![]() Links Between Home & School Guide for Parents.

Worry has been associated with several negative outcomes, including general anxiety disorder (GAD) as a manifestation of excessive and uncontrollable worry ( Golden et al., 2011 Hirsch et al., 2013). Such excessive and uncontrollable worry, but not non-severe worry, was associated with depression and reduced quality of life ( Golden et al., 2011). Furthermore, 37.1% stated that they worried excessively, and 20.0% experienced excessive uncontrollable worry. (2011) found that 78.7% of the respondents worried during the previous month. ![]() In a study with community-dwelling elderly people, Golden et al. To think repetitively about such future uncertainties and dangers is quite common. Many people experience recurrent thoughts about possible risks and threats. Whether a general tendency to worry, in fact, represents an independent vulnerability factor for experiencing FCR/FoP needs to be investigated in a longitudinal research design. These results bring up the question of whether FoP is an expression of a general tendency to worry. The final model explained 74% of the variance.ĭiscussion: Fear of progression is strongly associated with daily worry and pathological worry. Clinical variables were not independently associated with FoP. Further significant determinants were younger age and depressive and anxiety symptoms. The level of FoP was most strongly associated with daily worry ( β = 0.514, p < 0.001), followed by pathological worry ( β = 0.221, p < 0.001). FoP and worry were significantly intercorrelated ( r = 0.58–0.78). Results: Mean age of the participants was M = 58.5 years (SD = 12.8), and 64.6% were men. The hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify factors independently associated with FoP. Furthermore, a structured clinical interview was conducted for the assessment of anxiety disorders. Depressive, anxiety, and somatic symptoms were measured with modules of the Patient Health Questionnaire. Patients filled out the FoP Questionnaire (FoP-Q), the Worry Domains Questionnaire (WDQ) for the assessment of daily worry, and the Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ) for the assessment of pathological worry. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that includes 328 hospitalized patients with cancer. This study aimed at investigating the associations among daily worry, pathological worry, and FoP in patients with cancer. However, worry can also become pathological appearing as a symptom of mental disorders. Actually, to worry is a common cognitive process that, in its non-pathological form, belongs to daily life. 2Institute of Psychiatric and Psychosomatic Psychotherapy, Central Institute of Mental Health Mannheim, University Medical Center Mannheim, Mannheim, Germanyīackground: Fear of progression (FoP), or fear of cancer recurrence (FCR), is characterized by worries or concerns about negative illness-related future events.1Department of Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychotherapy, Klinikum rechts der Isar, School of Medicine, Technical University of Munich, Munich, Germany.Andreas Dinkel 1 *, Birgitt Marten-Mittag 1 and Katrin Kremsreiter 1,2 ![]() So make sure you have installed this in your HA installation. It’s easiest to install the plugins through HACS (Home Assistant Community Store). I will name them where necessary again, but make sure you have installed the following plugins: We are going to use different Home Assistant plugins. The layout and style of the dashboard are based on the design of Dejan Markovic. If you have any questions, just drop a comment below. I am going to take you step-by-step through the process of making the dashboard. ![]() The button can start a flow in Homey, so this way we can start flows in Homey through Home Assistant. These triggers can then be added as a button (device) in Homey, which is then available in HA as an entity. I have created trigger variables in Homey with the help of the app Better Logic (Homey app). This way all devices that I have in Homey are also available as entities in HA. I have linked Homey with Home Assistant through MQTT. But sometimes you want to switch lighting scenes, turning the lights a bit brighter when playing a board game for example, so this is where the tablet comes in. We only need to turn the lights off at night with a single press on the button. I don’t have created any automations or scripts because Homey does pretty much everything automatically. So that you can create them for your smart home devices. In this article, I will try to explain how buttons, functions, and layouts are created and how they interact. You really need to write your own configuration files for your environment. With HA you can’t simply copy and paste configurations from other users. But it is better to separate it more into separate files with larger configurations. Home Assistant is configured in Yaml files, I have written pretty much everything into the ui-lovelace.yaml file to keep things clear and easy to follow. My goal for this dashboard was to get insight into my smart home and allow my family members to easily change scenes in the house. I am not a Home Assistant expert, I have seen dashboards that have really advanced (and nice) features, but are also complicated to make. For the dashboard, it doesn’t matter if HA is your controller or Homey. Home Assistant is only used to display the interactive dashboard. It’s good to know that I am using Homey as my Smart Home controller. And in this article, we are going to create a Home Assistant Dashboard. In the second article, we divide into setting up Home Assistant and MQTT. In the first article, I explained how we can use and mount a FireHD tablet as a smart home dashboard. This is the 3 rd article in a mini-series about creating my Smart Home dashboard with Home Assistant. But to control them, or to get insight into your smart home, you probably want to great a Home Assistant Dashboard. Home Assistant is a really versatile smart home system that allows you to connect all your smart home devices. ![]() Here, we’ll use the serveradmin command to view the settings of the DHCP service: /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/serveradmin settings dhcp The output is an array of subnets with different settings per subnet.

![]() However, knowing the difference is important if you’re a designer or branding professional, and where it really matters a lot is in font licensing and copyright. To most people, and in most situations, it really does not matter if you use these terms interchangeably. A typeface (or a font family) is the visual design of the letterforms and it consists of multiple font formats. But Roboto Bold is a specific font within the Roboto typeface. “If the typeface is the song, the font is the MP3 file” Nowadays, there are typefaces made up of one single variation such as “regular” or “bold” etc.Īlthough many people would call a typeface with a single variation a font, it’s actually a typeface and within that typeface a font, but we wouldn’t consider it a font family.Ī font is a variation of a typeface, a specific style or weight within a typeface comes in the form of a computer file, software or a program that instructs your device to display and/or print each letter in a particular way. Each of these variations is a font that share the overall design of the typeface, and together they form a font family. So, what’s the difference? Does the difference actually matter?įirst, we’ll go over what each term means.Ī typeface is the visual design of a set of characters, glyphs, and symbols that can include variations in weight or style. Vector graphic fonts became the standard with the introduction of higher- resolution displays, word processors, and laser printers.The terms typeface and font are often used interchangeably like they’re the same things, and that can sometimes be confusing. Since the character images are created by mathematical formulas, scaling and zooming will not change the appearance of the font, and the curved edge will appear smooth. Instead of relying on pixels to create characters, vector fonts were formed geometrically. The vector graphic font was created in the 1980s as a replacement for bitmap graphics. When enlarged or zoomed in, the character s individual pixel makeup became obvious, especially on curved edges, and they didn t retain the original look or shape. The main problem with these bitmap fonts was their scalability. Fonts would be displayed using pixels, which led to characters looking blocky and having irregular edges. One of the earliest types of digital font display styles used bitmap graphics. Instead of carving font blocks, typographers now design fonts digitally. Font technologyįont technology has come a long way since the days of printing presses and individually arranging typeset blocks. Within Times New Roman, however, there are many fonts to choose from, such as different sizes, italic, bold, and so on. Think of typeface as an entire typography family, and a font as a specific size, weight, and style of a typeface.įor example, Times New Roman is a typeface that defines the shape of each character. typefaceĪlthough they have different meanings, people often use the word font interchangeably with another typography term, typeface. It is important to be intentional when choosing fonts because they can affect readability, influence tone, and reflect professionalism all of which will influence how ideas are communicated. Font characters include letters, numbers, symbols, and punctuation marks. A font is the combination of typeface, size, weight, slope, and style to make up a printable or displayable set of characters. ![]() Antibody testing may be useful to support the diagnosis of COVID-19 illness or complications of COVID-19 in the following situations: During this interval, the sensitivity of detecting infection using NAAT or antigen detection testing decreases and the sensitivity of serologic testing increases. Persons suspected of having COVID-19 who test positive by direct viral detection methods for SARS-CoV-2 (e.g., NAAT or antigen detection tests) typically begin to develop measurable antibody 7–14 days after illness onset, and by 3 weeks most persons will test positive for antibody. The clinical applicability of semi-quantitative tests has not been established. ![]() Although the surrogate neutralization test exhibits correlation to a plaque reduction neutralization test, the clinical or public health applicability has not been established. Plaque reduction neutralization assays are considered the gold standard for detection of neutralizing antibodies, but require cells, infectious virus, and are difficult to standardize. Detection of persistent antibodies varies by the test used.įDA has issued an EUA for surrogate neutralization tests, which are qualitative binding assays that detect antibodies that block the interaction between the virus and the cellular virus receptor (ACE-2) without using cells or infectious virus.IgM antibody can persist for weeks to months following infection, though its persistence appears to be shorter than IgG’s therefore, detection of IgM could suggest relatively recent infection.Therefore, assays that measure total antibody or IgG could have higher sensitivity than IgM assays as more time passes since a person’s last infection. IgG levels appear to decrease more slowly over time than levels of other classes of antibody.Īntibody tests with very high sensitivity and specificity are preferred since they are more likely to exhibit high positive (probability that the person testing positive actually has antibodies) and negative predictive values (probability that the person testing negative actually does not have antibodies) when administered at least 3 weeks after the onset of illness.Īdditional considerations when selecting an antibody test include: The list of qualitative and semi-quantitative SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests granted an EUA by the FDA can be found on FDA’s website. Everyone, regardless of whether they have antibodies or not, should still take steps to protect themselves and others, including staying up to date on vaccination.Ĭhoice of antibody test and testing strategyįor all clinical and public health purposes, it is recommended to use one of the numerous antibody tests for SARS-CoV-2 that have been authorized by FDA. Antibody tests are not used for diagnosing a current case of COVID-19. ![]() Even after a person’s antibodies wane, their immune system may have cells that remember the virus and that can act quickly to protect the person from severe illness if they become infected.Īntibody tests can detect the presence of these antibodies in serum within days to weeks following acute infection or vaccination. As their antibodies wane, a person may become more vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2 infection. For many diseases, including COVID-19, antibodies are expected to decrease or “wane” over time. It is important to remember that some people with antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 may become infected after vaccination ( vaccine breakthrough infection) or after recovering from a past infection ( reinfection). Antibodies are just one part of a persons’ immune response.Īntibodies to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ( SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19, can be detected in the blood of people who have recovered from COVID-19 or people who have been vaccinated against COVID-19. How long this protection lasts can be different for each disease, each person, or influenced by other factors. Even if a person does get sick, having antibodies can protect them from getting severely ill because their body has some experience in fighting that disease. ![]() "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.

Solution Hence, shoes can be arranged on the shoe rack in 90 ways. This is an example of permutation with repetition because the elements are repeated and their order is important. The total number of pair of shoes = n = 6 How many different arrangements of shoes are possible? Solution He wants to put all these pairs of shoes on the shoe rack. Put the above values in the formula below to get the number of permutations:Įxample 3 John owns six-colored pair of shoes (two red, two blue and two black). This is an example of permutation with repetition because the elements of the set are repeated and their order is important. How many different flag combinations can be raised at a time? Solution ![]() Hence, the letters in the word EXCELLENT can be arranged in 30240 ways.Įxample 2 A ship must raise eight flags at one time (two red, two blue, and four green). Substitute these values in the formula below to get the number of ways in which the letters of this word can be arranged: Total number of elements in the word = n = 9 In how many ways can the alphabets of the word EXCELLENT be arranged? Solution We will substitute the above values in the formula below: In this example, the order of elements matter, and digits are repeated. How many eight-digit numbers can be formed with the numbers 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4? Let us solve the following example through the above formula to make the whole concept clearer. The formula that should be used while computing the permutations in such cases is given below: Since the items are repeated, therefore such scenarios are also examples of permutations with repetition. There is a separate formula to compute permutations in such problems. The question arises what shall we do in this case? Well, the answer is simple. Sometimes we are given a problem in which the identical items of type 1 are repeated "p" number of times, type 2 are repeated "q" number of times, type 3 are repeated "r" number of times, and so on. Hence, 10000 permutations are possible if we want to make a four-digit number from the set of the first 10 natural numbers. Therefore, we will get permutations by substituting the values in the following formula: The total number of elements in a set is 10 and the number of digits we want to select from this set is 4. Therefore, it means that it is an example of permutations with repetition. In all these numbers, one digit is repeated twice or thrice. Here, first, we need to determine whether we can choose a digit twice or not. How many different permutations are possible? K = number of elements selected from the setįrom the set of first 10 natural numbers, you are asked to make a four-digit number. The formula for computing the permutations with repetitions is given below: Permutations with repetition mean we can select one item twice. We know that in the permutations, the order of elements is important. In this article, we will specifically discuss permutation with repetition. It means that the selection of code from the first five whole numbers is an example of the permutation. If the order of the digits is changed, then the pin code will not work. Of course not, the order of the digits is important. Can he rearrange the digits as 3014 or 0143 etc.? Harry wants to make a pin code by choosing 4 digits from the set of first five whole numbers (0,1,2,3,4). You have already read an example of a simple combination above when three things are put in a bowl. In other words, we can say that the permutation is an ordered combination. ![]() The primary difference between the combination and permutation is that the order matters in permutation while it does not matter in combination. We always study combination with permutation in mathematics because there are many similarities between these two terms. The order of elements is not important in a combination. In mathematics, the combination means the number of ways in which different objects are combined to form a set. We are not concerned with the order in which these three things were put in the bowl. For instance, if anyone says that my bowl has a combination of apples, carrots, and bananas, then we immediately think that the bowl has three items. When we hear the word "combination" in our daily life, we immediately think about the collection of things in the form of a set or a group. ![]() ![]() ![]() “All of that, and the Oscar buzz, is nothing I focus on,” he says. (Consider one of the most famously challenging sections on your annual Oscar ballot a lock.) But pleased as he is with Piper’s warm reception, Barillaro doesn’t even want to talk about awards season. In fact, the whole short went over like gangbusters-and, given Pixar’s track record with snagging Academy Award nominations, Piper might be a safe bet in the best-animated-short category. I just wanted the audience’s imagination to go farther than I ever would.” That sequence-which mirrors some of Finding Dory’s themes about the dangers of the ocean-was received with audible gasps in my screening. But, in this case, Barillaro was right to ignore his family: “I felt like it was important, that little bit of fear and worry. I don’t like that character at all.’” They especially didn’t like a moment, halfway through the short, where it looks like the fluffy baby bird might be in real danger. “They let me know, ‘I don’t like that one. “The more we studied birds, it was apparent that all of the appeal required being in control of the feathers.”Ĭourtesy of Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.īarillaro’s three kids were also tough critics of Piper, all six minutes of it. “We had to come up with new techniques across the board to solve feathers,” he says, invoking the technology Pixar created to capture the flaming, bouncing curls of the heroine Merida in 2012’s Brave. Barillaro has been working in Pixar's animation department since the days of A Bug’s Life-but as part of the Pixar shorts program, he was encouraged to take “daunting” technical risks on this new short. With encouragement from Pixar chief John Lasseter and Finding Dory director Andrew Stanton, Barillaro set about turning the visuals into a story. It all started with an animation test based on the cute sandpipers Barillaro would see on his morning Bay Area runs. The dialogue-free film follows a baby bird as it learns to brave the shore and feed itself, making a friend or two along the way. It took three years for Barillaro to craft the six-minute short, using cutting-edge technology that could very well signal the future of the studio. When it comes to animating feathers, sand, and water, the general rule-according to director Alan Barillaro-is “pick one, not all three.” But all three elements are on display in the heartwarming, shockingly realistic new short Piper, which has landed a coveted slot in front of Pixar's highly anticipated Finding Nemo sequel, Finding Dory. |
