Integrating Health Coaching With a Medical Fitness Program to Treat Chronic Health Conditions

Medical fitness and health/wellness coaching (HWC) are emerging health care trends but potential synergistic effects are yet to be studied. Purpose. To determine the impact of integrating HWC within a community-based medical fitness program for patients with chronic health conditions. Methods. A before and after clinical trial, examining 3 frequency levels of coaching sessions, with Journey-to-Wellness (J2W) participants (N = 1306) who were predominately female (76%), aged 12 to 87 years (mean ± SD = 53.54 ± 14.34 years), and referred by their health care provider. Over 3 months, J2W emphasized HWC, exercise, nutrition counseling, and group/interactive events. HWC averaged 4.4 ± 2.5 sessions and was analyzed at 3 levels (0-3; 4-6; 6+ sessions). Pre-post measures were Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Positivity, General Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), Dartmouth Quality of Life (QoL), Lifestyle Nutrition Behavior (LNB), Pain, exercise minutes, weight, waist circumference, and systolic/diastolic blood pressures. Results. J2W intervention significantly (P < .01) improved all outcomes. Between 20% and 43% improvements were observed for PHQ-9, GAD-7, QoL while LNB improved 7.5%, and biometrics between 1% and 2.2%. Greater frequency of HWC enhanced J2W effect for PHQ-9 and QoL with weight and GAD approaching significance. Conclusion. J2W programming produced measurable improvement in health metrics, with greater HWC frequency adding to these beneficial effects, providing a powerful community-based health intervention.

An Answer Extraction Algorithm Based on Syntax Structure Feature Parsing and Classification

Due to the feature and difficulty of Chinese natural language processing and the lack of related resources, some foreign mature techniques can not be applied in Chinese Question Answering (QA) system. For the Chinese factoid QA system, a new answer extraction method based on syntax structure feature parsing and classification is presented in this paper. With the method, the answer extraction is regarded as candidate answer classification problem,i.e. candidate answers are classified into correct and incorrect answer. According to the part-of-speech information of candidate answers corresponding to question types,the candidate answers and their features (both simple and syntactic) in sentences from snippets are firstly extracted. Then these features are used to train the classifier. Finally, the trained classifier is used to distinguish whether the candidate answer is correct or not. For Chinese factoid questions, comparing to currently typical pattern matching based answer extraction algorithm, the new method improves precision by 6.2% and MRR by 9.7%.
Power and supply chain integration

Hedendaagse economieen zijn gebaseerd op de sequentiele verdeling van taken tussen bedrijven. Bij een dergelijke verdeling van taken voegt elk bedrijf waarde toe aan een halffabricaat en verkoopt het door aan een volgend bedrijf totdat een product ontstaat dat gereed is voor de eindconsument. De literatuur noemt zulke netwerken van bedrijven waarde ketens (i.e. ‗supply chains‘). Academici benadrukken vaak dat bedrijven die onderdeel uitmaken van een waardeketen moeten integreren om de middelenstroom tussen hen te verbeteren. Echter is er onvoldoende begrip wanneer en waarom ketenintegratie daadwerkelijk ontstaat, en wat de (mogelijke) consequenties zijn voor de integrerende bedrijven. In dit proefschrift onderzoek ik de link tussen een belangrijke contextuele factor (i.e. macht) en ketenintegratie. Terwijl macht is erkend als factor die van grote invloed kan zijn op integratie tussen bedrijven in een waardeketen, is er maar weinig empirisch werk dat deze link onderzoekt (bijv. Casciaro & Piskorski, 2005; Gulati & Sytch, 2007). Daarnaast wordt integratie vaak als eendimensionaal begrip behandeld terwijl er veel verschillende aspecten van ketenintegratie zijn (Van der Vaart & Van Donk, 2008). Al met al begrijpen we dus onvoldoende hoe macht de verschillende aspecten van ketenintegratie beinvloedt, ondanks dat we weten dat dit een belangrijk vraagstuk is. Dit proefschrift probeert het begrip hieromtrent te vergroten. In hoofdstuk 1 geef ik een overzicht van literatuur over ketenintegratie. Gebaseerd op de classificatie van Van der Vaart en Van Donk (2008), onderscheid ik drie aspecten van ketenintegratie: opvattingen, praktijken en patronen. ‗Opvattingen‘ geven weer hoe kopende en leverende bedrijven over elkaar en ketenintegratie denken. Integratie is hoog als men vindt dat er bijvoorbeeld gemeenschappelijke doelen zijn en men elkaar vertrouwt. ‗Patronen‘ verwijzen naar interactieve patronen tussen een bedrijf en zijn leveranciers en/of klanten. Integratie is bijvoorbeeld hoog als bedrijven op hoog managementniveau met leveranciers overleggen over strategische zaken. ‗Praktijken‘ zijn tastbare activiteiten of technologieen die de uitwisseling van middelen tussen een bedrijf en zijn leveranciers en / of klanten faciliteren. Integratie is hoog als bedrijven geinvesteerd hebben in bijvoorbeeld elektronische data uitwisselingssystemen (i.e. ‗Electronic Data Interchange, EDI‘) of voorraadbeheer door de leverancier (i.e. ‗Vendor Managed Inventories, VMI‘). Gebaseerd op literatuur, betoog ik dat ketenintegratie niet altijd hoog moet zijn zoals dikwijls impliciet of expliciet door onderzoekers verondersteld wordt.
The Increased Cesarean Section Incidence - Is There a Clinical Justification?

The Increased Cesarean Section Incidence - Is There a Clinical Justification? Aim: The aim of this study is to overview the unrealistically high incidence of surgically completed deliveries through the frequency of deliveries completed by Caesarean section at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic in Kragujevac (Serbia) for the period from 1991 to 2010, the most common indications, frequency of vaginal delivery after Cesarean section and comparison of obtained results and indicators to world trends. Material and Methods: A retrospective study covering all deliveries completed by Cesarean section in the period between 1991-2010, indications as well as all vaginal deliveries after previous Cesarean section in the same period. The total perinatal and early neonatal mortality in the same period is processed. Results: The number of surgically completed deliveries in our clinic is very colorful and practically reflects many objective and subjective reasons for this trend. From 5% in the '90s to 15% in 2010, there is a big difference. Have we become less good obstetricians, or have become less patient, or the social trends have changes and the obstetrician has become interesting legally and in media, so that recently, more and more deliveries are completed surgically? Our clinic is still in the group of institutions with the lowest percentage of Caesarean section. Conclussion: The current epidemic of surgically completed deliveries is a complex problem and is difficult to solve unless all the factors that influence it are brought under control and not publicly discussed.
The quality of group childcare settings used by 3-4 year old children in Sure Start local programme areas and the relationship with child outcomes (Research report DFE-RR068)

"Influenced by research indicating long-term benefits of early childhood programmes for disadvantaged children, the Government of the time set up Sure Start Local Programmes (SSLPs) from 1998 to reduce child poverty and social exclusion. By 2004, 524 SSLPs targeted families with children 0-4 years of age in the 20% most deprived communities. In 2005 it was decided to develop SSLPs further by turning them into children’s centres and roll out the programme nationally, ensuring that comprehensive early education and family support services are available for every community. The National Evaluation of Sure Start has been undertaking research relevant to the development of SSLPs since 2001. This part of the study focuses on 150 SSLP areas from the first four rounds of SSLPs, which are all in deprived areas. " - Page iii.

Combined Numerical And PSO based Camera Calibration Focusing On Lens Distortion

— Camera calibration is one of the most important steps, recognized as a bottleneck, in 3D scanning devices that a very small error in the camera parameters can lead to imprecise 3D models. In the last two decades, different approaches have been taken and improved the precision of the calibration parameters; but still the desire for better precisions and more stability exists. In this work, we have used an easy-to-implement and cheap checkerboard as the calibration object. The initial data for calibration is obtained with only three images captured from the checkerboard. To optimize the non-linear camera equations, both numerical and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms together have been applied in order to increase the precision and reduce the sensitivity of the algorithm to noise and errors. Capability of combined numerical and PSO-based algorithm for camera calibration especially lens distortion is demonstrated using a criterion called re-projection error. This work is distinguished from the former works in the application of combined numerical and PSO-based optimizations together in camera calibration focusing on lens distortion. This paper shows that solving camera calibration equations using numerical and PSO algorithms in an integrated manner can lead to acceptable results.
The hymns of the Sâmaveda

The Samaveda, or Veda of Holy Songs, third in the usual order of enumeration of the three Vedas, ranks next in sanctity and liturgical importance to the Rgveda or Veda of Recited praise. Its Sanhita, or metrical portion, consists chiefly of hymns to be chanted by the Udgatar priests at the performance of those important sacrifices in which the juice of the Soma plant, clarified and mixed with milk and other ingredients, was offered in libation to various deities. The Collection is made up of hymns, portions of hymns, and detached verses, taken mainly from the Rgveda, transposed and re-arranged, without reference to their original order, to suit the religious ceremonies in which they were to be employed. In these compiled hymns there are frequent variations, of more or less importance, from the text of the Rgveda as we now possess it which variations, although in some cases they are apparently explanatory, seem in others to be older and more original than the readings of the Rgveda. In singing, the verses are still further altered by prolongation, repetition and insertion of syllables, and various modulations, rests, and other modifications prescribed, for the guidance of the officiating priests, in the Ganas or Song-books. Two of these manuals, the Gramageyagdna, or Congregational, and the Aranyagana or Forest Song-Book, follow the order of the verses of part I, of the Sanhita, and two others, the Uhagana, the Uhyagana, of Part II. This part is less disjointed than part I, and is generally arranged in triplets whose first verse is often the repetition of a verse that has occurred in part I.
Design Of Tsunami Detector Based Sort Message Service Using Arduino and SIM900A to GSM/GPRS Module

Tsunamis are one of the most unforeseen natural disasters, factors or signs of a tsunami occurring among others is the sudden reflux of seawater which is due to the broken plate of the underlying sea floor receding water, the plate fault is caused by seismic ground-based earthquakes, areas ever experienced a previous fault is likely to occur in the same quake place this is because the slabs can not coalesce or return like the original. for it needed a prototype system that can detecting the early detection of a tsunami that could cost many lives. The prototype system created is equipped with a fibration sensor to detect vibration and Ultrasonic sensors to detect distances, after of some varible detected then the data will be transmitted remotely via SIM900A as GSM / GPRS Module DOI : https://doi.org/10.26905/jeemecs.v1i1. 1982

A new approach for biomarker detection using fusion networks

In this thesis we propose a new approach for biomarker detection using single source and fusion networks. Our algorithm detects metastable regions with similar and high weights in networks. Standard methods for biomarker detection analyse the differentially expression, or other biological measurement, of genes, without taking any further biological knowledge into account. Network approaches include further insight into the analysis, nevertheless most of them are limited to the examination of one data type. With our fusion network algorithm we introduce a new and promising approach. We analyse breast cancer gene expression and methylation data using our fusion network approach. The proposed method detects known and novel biomarkers, which are highly supported by breast cancer literature, biological pathways, and classification power.
An ontology-based semantic similarity metric to empower semantic search

Heterogeneity in documents is a challenge for information Retrieval. The keyword search focuses on matching the keywords with web repositories. It does not consider the synonyms or semantically similar words. The heterogeneity of the content makes retrieval inadequate. Semantic search helps to capture more appropriate results using domain ontology. Keyword search is extended with the help of similar concepts of ontology. Similarity between the ontological concepts is recognized to get appropriate search results. Once the semantic similarity among the concepts is known, more relevant documents can be retrieved. In this paper, we propose a metric based on traditional methods, combined with computational techniques to measure the similarity between concepts. The paper gives the concept of DOT (Domain Ontology Tree). It uses conventional definitions of the Tree (Data Structure) for ontology and proposes a method of partitioning to calculate the similarity. The method is based on IS-A hierarchical relationship. We have implemented a prototype system for the support of the proposed method, and also compared it with existing methods, the results are encouraging.
Karel the Robot: A Gentle Introduction to the Art of Programming

From the Publisher: Karel the Robot teaches you the fundamental concepts and skills of programming - quickly and easily! By emphasizing logic and structure over calculation, it provides a nonthreatening introduction to the central ideas in programming - the same ideas that apply to all computer programming languages. This widely-praised guide begins by introducing KAREL, a literal-minded robot whose built-in capabilities allow him to explore his world and manipulate simple objects in it. It then introduces KAREL's programming language (a block-structured language similar to Pascal), which emphasizes logical deduction and spatial reasoning rather than calculation and algebraic reasoning. Once you learn the details of KAREL's deceptively simple programming language, you will soon be designing well-structured programs that instruct KAREL to perform surprisingly complex tasks. Along the way, you will be absorbing sophisticated programming concepts that will enhance your programming ability! A software simulator for KAREL's programming language and world is available on a wide variety of mainframes and microcomputers - details inside.
Learning-based resource allocation in wireless networks

This thesis investigates learning-based resource allocation techniques for future wireless networks (FWNs). Motivated by recent technological developments, two types of FWNs are studied: energy harvesting (EH) wireless sensor networks (WSNs), and high-capacity cellular networks (HC-CNs) with caching capabilities. In an EH-WSN, each node is powered by a rechargeable battery and harvests energy from the environment. First, a multi-access throughput optimisation problem is studied, when the access point schedules EH sensor nodes without the knowledge of their battery states. A low-complexity policy is shown to be optimal in certain cases, and a scheduling algorithm, which takes into account the random processes governing the energy arrivals in the system, is proposed, and compared to an upper bound. Second, a point-to-point communication system with an EH transmitter is considered. Since the characteristics of the environment in which the sensor will be deployed are not known in advance, we assume no a priori knowledge of the random processes governing the system, and propose a learning theoretic optimisation for the system operation. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared to that of two upper bounds, obtained by providing more information to the transmitter about the random processes governing the system. We then turn our attention to content-level selective o oading to an infostation terminal in an HC-CN. The infostation, which stores high data-rate content in its cache memory, allows cellular users in the vicinity to directly download the stored content through a broadband connection, reducing the latency and the load on the cellular network. The goal of the infostation cache controller is to store the most popular content such that the maximum amount of tra c is o oaded to the infostation. The optimal cache content management problem when content popularity is unknown is studied, and a number of algorithms to learn the content popularity pro le are proposed. The performances of these algorithms are compared to that of an informed upper bound, obtained when the content popularity pro le is known.
Comparing musical textsetting in French and in English songs

A strophic song is in general a sequence of repetitions of the same tune, one repetition for each stanza. Strophic songs in French have the following properties: when two stanzas have the same tune, they have the same number of lines, and for any i , the i -th line in one stanza has the same number of syllables as the i -th line in the other, and it also has the same distribution of melismas. These properties follow from a more general requirement on textsettings that we call Positional Parallelism. Whereas violations of Positional Parallelism are rather infrequent in traditional French songs, they are quite common in English songs. We propose to relate this difference between French and English songs with another difference in textsetting practice. English matches stress and musical beat anywhere in a line. French enforces the stress/beat match in a rigid manner only at the end of lines, which is presumably a reflection of the fact that in French, stress is easily perceptible only before major breaks.
Präzise Positionierung und Orientierung innerhalb vonGebäuden

Die vorliegende Arbeit entstand im Rahmen einer Forschungskooperation zwischen der Hochtief AG, dem Institut fur Baubetrieb der TU Darmstadt und dem Geodatischen Institut der TU Darmstadt. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, ein prazises, fur Baustellen geeignetes UWB Positionierungssystem zu entwickeln. Zusatzlich zu der Position sollte auch die Orientierung einer Digitalkamera bestimmt werden, um Bildaufnahmen wahrend der Ausfuhrungs- und Betriebsphase von Bauwerken zu verorten. Als eine optimale Erganzung und Unterstutzung fur die Positionierung wird ein auf quasistatischen Magnetfeldern basierende Positionierungsverfahren vorgestellt, dessen besonderer Vorteil darin liegt, dass es zusatzlich zu der Position die Orientierung ohne Einsatz von Antennenarray liefern kann. Ein wichtiger Schwerpunkt dieser Arbeit bestand zudem in der Entwicklung neuer Algorithmen fur die direkte Losung nichtlinearer geodatischer Probleme am Beispiel des raumlichen Bogenschnitts sowohl mit als auch ohne Uberbestimmung. Dazu wird mit Hilfe der Spektralen Theorie auch ein neues Verfahren zur Losung von raumlichen Streckennetzen vorgestellt
