Individual Development Account Participation and Social Development among Native Hawaiians

Native Hawaiians face complex psychosocial and economic challenges. This longitudinal study examines the social development outcomes among 252 low-income Native Hawaiians who participated in an Individual Development Account (IDA) program. IDAs are matched savings accounts for the poor that encourage asset accumulation. Data were collected in a survey of participants on average of seven years following program enrollment. Regression results show that IDA graduation significantly predicts two of three indicators of social development— assets-to-debts ratio and home ownership—but failed to explain educational advancement. Findings indicate that asset-based social policies may promote social development of native hawaiians under certain conditions.
Evaluation of Health Promotion Programs for Older Adults: An Introduction

This article provides an overview of the evaluation of evidence-based health promotion programs for older adults and introduces an upcoming series of related articles in the Journal of Applied Gerontology. With an aging population, a growing demand for health promotion and chronic disease self-management programs, and limited resources, evaluators must provide leadership to identify positive outcomes for adult older clients, inform program planning, and provide accountability to funders. The article addresses the following topics: the need for assessing the effectiveness of programs; research-based foundations for evaluation, specifically the RE-AIM model; the role of the evaluator; and guiding principles for evaluation and theoretical models that drive measurement. It concludes with the description of a process for conducting program evaluation based on the Center for Disease Control's framework for program evaluation, which actively engages program and community stakeholders in tailoring evaluation to the unique needs, characteristics, and barriers present in a community.
A Framework for Automatic Algorithm Animation

Algorithm animation and data visualization have been shown to help people understand the behavior of algorithms and programs. Different approaches to algorithm animation and data visualization have been tried, but all the existing systems have drawbacks. On one hand, algorithm animation systems can generate nice animations, but users have to modify the original program and code the animation scenes by hand. On the other hand, data visualization systems are more automated, but they do not support smooth illustration of abstract operations and are not sufficiently general and flexible. This research proposes another approach to data visualization and algorithm animation. Through automatic insertion of code, the manual modification of programs is avoided. By analyzing programs at preprocessing time rather than run time, the program being monitored is made more efficient. By putting data objects and image objects into classes, the reusability of the animation methods and the flexibility of the whole system are increased. Finally, by automatically abstracting out high-level operations from low-level ones, high-quality algorithm animation is generated without analyzing the algorithm manually.
Evaluating the Developmental Stages of Digital Educational Programs: Challenges and Opportunities

The US Institute of Education Sciences (IES) currently provides a progressive series of education research grants that can support the development of innovative and creative educational programs, starting with exploratory grants, and progressing through developmental grants, efficacy trials, and finally, effectiveness studies. The IES further requires an evaluation component for each of these program developmental stages. In this article, the authors report on their experiences as evaluators of the developmental stage of a digital educational program called Scholar. Their reflections concentrate on what might be uniquely relevant to digital educational programs and to programs at the IES developmental stage. The key issues discussed include: (a) the challenge of assessing implementation fidelity and variability for a developmental project; (b) the challenge of assessing the program's reach to diverse program participants, especially those least well served in a given context; and (c) the challenges of securing sufficient and relevant implementation data, and of addressing pressures for gathering preliminary efficacy data. Interwoven through these discussions are snapshots of selected program participants' voices describing their own program experiences and views. The article concludes with the authors' reflections and commentary on future directions for evaluating comparable digital educational programs at the IES developmental stage.
3D Terrain Multiobjective Deployment Optimization of Heterogeneous Directional Sensor Networks in Security Monitoring

The traditional deployment research on wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has mainly focused on 2D plane and 3D full space; also, the sensors considered are almost always omni-directional sensors and are usually homogeneous. However, this type of research cannot fulfill the diverse requirements required for practical 3D environment. We study the deployment problem of heterogeneous directional sensor networks (HDSNs) on 3D terrain, which is more suitable for practical security monitoring requirements and has more practical significance. In this paper, we propose a novel uncertain comprehensive coverage model: a modified 3D directional sensing model is presented, and a non-probabilistic measure based fusion operator is utilized. We transform the deployment problem into a multiobjective optimization problem by comprehensively considering Coverage, Connectivity Uniformity and Deployment Cost, and we use various state-of-the-art multiobjective optimization algorithm based deployment approaches to address it. We conduct deployment experiments on three types of real-world 3D terrain data (plain, hill and mountain). Through the analysis of the deployment results, we obtain a deeper understanding and insight into the multiobjective deployment problem of HDSN. Meanwhile, we more clearly recognize the characteristics of the deployment approaches.
Visual Art, Archaeology and Gestalt

Archaeological excavation has much in common with the visual arts. Archaeological excavators and visual artists are involved in a process of image formation. They not only document and replicate the appearance of things, but also make ideas, concepts and experiences visible. The Gestalt principles of similarity, proximity, continuity and closure provide a way to understand how the mind orders and groups the complex visual relationships that are created and observed in a given field or environment. Gestalt research into figure-ground relationships finds correspondence in the archaeological concept of object-context. These ideas find a philosophical correspondence in the imagery and teachings of Taoism. Together they offer an interdisciplinary way to think about the shapes, patterns and structure of time and change.
The direct sample level compensation for symbol synchronization of Zigbee modem

the main issue of symbol synchronization in Zigbee modem is how to find low cost and low complexity synchronization method for Zigbee application. The traditional method is too complex for low cost Zigbee modem. So this paper introduces extremely low complexity symbol synchronization method named direct sample level compensation (DSLC). DSLC does not use band-pass filter, correlator, VCO as traditional symbol synchronization method. DSLC doesn't perform phase tracking. DSLC just estimates frequency offset during preamble period and compensates frequency offset on incoming signal samples. The frequency estimation performs through differential complex conjugated multiplication between incoming sample and delayed sample. This differential style receiver is common for non-coherent detection of Zigbee signal. Thus frequency-offset estimation doesn't need any additive component except receiver itself. Compensation is performed by one sample adding or discarding. This direct sample level compensation can be realized with 1-2 register for a control of samples and simple look-up table for determine control point. If we accept slight performance degradation compare to perfect symbol synchronization, this method would be best choice for Zigbee modem.

Rôle et valeur de la vision intérieure dans la création picturale

Partant d’une étude publiée en 1957, l’auteur étudie le problème de la vision intérieure dans la création picturale, à la lumière de nouvelles expériences et observations. Il en rappelle les caractères déjà établis: origine visuelle, séjour dans l’inconscient, transformations et prolongements éventuels, et retour à la conscience sous forme d’images extra-rétiniennes. C’est là un phénomène très courant, mais souvent inobservé, très précieux pour le peintre par sa double valeur métaphysique et formelle. Il ne garantit d’ailleurs aucun résultat. L’auteur montre que ces images émanent, par sélection, de toute notre vie intérieure, dont elles nous révèlent un aspect, ce qui les fonde et les limite. Il décrit différents cas d’apparitions spontanées, y compris celui des hallucinogènes, qui hi parait sans intérêt pour l’artiste. Il étudie sur des exemples comment la vision conduit progressivement à la peinture, et quel enrichissement on peut en attendre. Il examine la cas de l’automatisme et de rencontres occasionnelles avec des visions. Enfin il souligne que la vision intérieure est une forme et une réalité, ce qui est un appui très précieux pour le peintre, et confère à l’œuvre, dans l’évocation de la vie intérieure, un pouvoir particulier de conviction.
E-mail system

Provided is an electronic mail system that can ensure that a user can be notified of the contents of an electronic mail even in cases where the electronic mail sent to the user was undeliverable. An electronic mail sending unit (220) sends, to an actual mail address of a user, an electronic mail sent to an alternative mail address of the user, after setting a notification destination employed in cases where the electronic mail becomes undeliverable as a predetermined notification destination. If a notification indicating that the electronic mail sent to the user's actual mail address was undeliverable is received at the predetermined notification destination, an undeliverable mail data saving unit (230) stores undeliverable mail data indicating the undeliverable electronic mail in an undeliverable mail data storage unit (410). An undeliverable mail data sending unit (110) sends, to a terminal device being used by the user, the undeliverable mail data indicating the undeliverable electronic mail which is the electronic mail sent to the user's actual mail address.
The Development and Chronology of the Early Cycladic Figurines

The marble sculptures of the Cycladic Early Bronze Age have been recognized for nearly half a century as outstanding works of art. Their simplicity of form, their austerity of style and the intrinsic beauty of the raw material itself combine to invest these objects with a dignity and a directness of impact which is almost without parallel in prehistoric art. In recent years they have been much praised by art historians and greatly valued by collectors. ' Despite their considerable importance for the history of art, these small sculptures, or figurines, which vary in size from about 5 cm. to i.5 m. , have received little serious attention from archaeologists.2 In particular, there has been no analysis of the contexts in which the excavated examples were found. This lack of appreciation of the associated finds has
Kinetic Art: The Chromara, A Lumia Technique

The author presents in detail the technical aspects of his Lumia (kinetic painting with projected light) produced by various systems under his designation, Chromara. There is a discussion of Thomas Wilfred’s pioneering efforts in developing a form of this art for which he proposed the name Lumia (he called his particular instrument a Clavilux). Both cabinet-type instruments and large-scale wall or screen projection systems developed by the author are described and their characteristics evaluated. He comments on his experiments associating music and Lumia and, especially, the characteristics of the inherently different senses of seeing and hearing. Conclusions about kinetic art with light as an art form are not offered. However, he hopes others will benefit from his experience. L’auteur explique en détail les aspects techniques de ses Lumia (peintures cinétiques avec projection de lumière) qui peuvent être produits par divers systèmes qu’il désigne du nom de Chromara. Il rend compte des efforts de Thomas Wilfred pour développer cette forme d’art qu’il pensait appeler Lumia (Wilfred appelait ses propres oeuvres Clavilux). Il décrit d’une part ses objets cinétiques en forme de boîte, d’autre part ses systèmes de projection à grande échelle sur mur ou sur écran, et évalue leurs qualités esthétiques. Il commente également les expériences qu’il a faites dans le but d’associer la musique à des Lumia, et souligne en particulier les caractéristiques respectives de sens aussi différente que la vue et l’ouïe. Il ne tire pas de conclusion générale sur l’art cinétique, mais il espère toutefois que d’autres pourront bénéficier de ses efforts.
Improving Performance in Pattern Discovery Modification Applied In Algorithm for Time Series

Time series analysis is a recent field of studies. It studies the impact that time has on regular data. Therefore, it is possible to determine a certain rule to describe the time series mathematically. On the other side, in order not to focus on a certain rule, but to depend on randomness, a time series is described by motifs, which are patterns repeated throughout the time series. In their articles, Mueen et al. ([1][2][3][4]) presented four approaches to discover motifs in time series. Dhamo et al [5][6] presented an algorithm to improve accuracy and quality in motif detection and also compared distance such as CID [7] with Chouakria index[8] with CID [5], where a better performance was given by Chouakria index with CID. A successive improvement of this algorithm was presented in their article by Lin et al[9], which aimed to present the importance of normalization of subsequences in time series as a preprocess. In this article, we aim to improve in ulterior the quality in pattern discovery, independently from the indexes in subsequences. The use of Chouakria index with CID as similarity measure is used to provide more satisfactory results than others, such as CID, Euclid, etc. The criteria used for comparison is execution time, number of motifs discovered and mean distance of similar subsequences from the 1-motif. In all cases, the modification to the algorithm provided the same/better performance than the previous algorithm presented by Dhamo[5][6]. The codes and plots are made in R.

ANALYSIS OF DEFERASIROX AND DEFERIPRON USE IN CHILDREN WITH PEDIATRIC -THALASSEMIA MAJOR

b-thalassemia major is a genetic disease and a decline in production due to imperfect of hemoglobin. Clinical manifestations are anemia, treated with regular blood transfusions. Blood transfusions lead to an increase in iron in the body that can lead to organ complications. Iron chelation drug delivery is expected to reduce complications due to an increase in the amount of iron in the body by measuring serum ferritin. The study aims to analyze the use of deferasirox and deferipron in patients with b-thalassemia major children at Dr. Kariadi Hospital of January 1, 2012 until December 31, 2013 as well as the need for blood transfusions. Patients who met the inclusion criteria, ie patients with b-thalassemia major children, retrospectively conducted observations of medical records include basic data and laboratory data. After descriptive analysis was performed to determine the use of two types of iron chelating drugs. In this study, 9 patients included in the inclusion criteria. A total of 5 people using deferasirox and 4 using deferipron at baseline. There are 3 people who turned deferipron be deferasirox. Serum ferritin values at study entry was> 1200 mcg/L, and at the end of the study serum ferritin is> 1200 mcg/L. The mean dose of deferasirox study was 19 ± 4.3 mg, and the dose deferipron mean was 80.8 ± 7.7 mg. Mean hemoglobin levels before transfusion was 6.60 ± 0.89 mg/dL. The average number of blood transfusions given was 336.52 ± 73.85 ml. Type of blood transfusion is used Washed erythrocyte. Splenomegaly occurred in 2 patients. There is no change in renal function, and hepatic meaning. The final conclusion until the reduction target serum ferritin <1000 mg/L has not been reached. Deferasirox dose can be increased to achieve the expected serum ferritin.
Research of SLAM for Static Environment Based on Kinect

Intelligent mobile robots require autonomous navigation and localization in the environment. In order to realize the function of localization and navigation, the robot often needs to obtain the 3D map of the environment. The basic and key technology to achieve the intelligence is Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). In order to solve the problem of localization for mobile robots based on vision, a method of SLAM based on Kinect is proposed. Firstly, the continuous images are obtained by Kinect sensor. Secondly, to find the matching points between the two frames via SIFT feature matching method, then RANSAC algorithm is used to remove the errors of matching, and the relative motion transformations are computed via the PnP algorithm. Thirdly, loop closure detection and global graph optimization are used to eliminate the accumulated robot pose errors and achieve a continuous trajectory. Finally, the 3D map of the environment is obtained. Experimental results show the feasibility and effectiveness of this method.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF ADJECTIVES USED AS NOUNS IN THE HISTORY OF ENGLISH

This paper investigates the development of adjectives used as nouns (Nadjectives) in the history of English, and its relation to the loss of adjectival inflection and the rise of the prop-word one. The correlation among these historical events is confirmed by an investigation based on historical corpora, and it is shown to be explained in terms of the DP structure which contains a phonologically null pronominal, the availability of which depends on the interpretability of φ-features on adjectives, under the Agree system proposed within the recent Minimalist framework. *
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MODE OF DELIVERY AND POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION

Introduction: Postpartum period is the most vulnerable time for the onset of mood disorders including the blues, depression and psychosis. Depression is the most important mood disorder in the postpartum period that can be associated with mother-baby and family conflictual interactions and may lead to irreparable consequences if not addresses well. Regarding different etiologies of postpartum depression, among them mode of delivery, and the existence of numerous controversies about this matter, the present study was conducted to determine the relationship between mode of delivery and postpartum depression in pregnant women attending some selected Health Centers affiliated to Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in 2005. Materials & Methods: In this prospective analytical study, 258 pregnant women in their 3 trimester of pregnancy were evaluated for signs of depression within 8 months and about 50 people were excluded from the study because of depression (Getting more than 12 from Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, EPDS) and those not suffering from depression were included in the study. Subjects who had histories of quitting parents before the age of 15, abortion, infertility, complications during pregnancy, prolonged pregnancy, postpartum complications, chronic diseases, nervous diseases in the family, hospitalization of the mother or the neonate and those with fetal demise were excluded from the study too. During 2 to 6 weeks from delivery, study subjects completed EPDS, marital satisfaction and social support questionnaires, were divided into NVD (73 women) and CS (75 women) groups and were matched for confounding factors before statistical analysis. Data analysis was performed by SPSS software, version 13, and the significance level was considered 0.05. Results: The mean age of subjects was 22.71+3.15 years. Most of them had high school diplomas and were housewives. The prevalence of postpartum depression was 20.3%. 13.6%of the cases in NVD and 27.6% in CS groups scored more than 12 on EPDS and they were at risk for postpartum depression. There was a significant relationships between mode of delivery and postpartum depression (p<0.05) and a two fold risk for depression was seen in CS group (OR=2). Conclusion: According to the findings of this study that postpartum depression has been twice as much prevalent in the CS group compared to that of NVD group, it can be concluded that CS should be performed in women who meet the criteria for this procedure. Implementing this strategy can have an effective role in preventing postpartum depression and help reduce expenses from its proper practice.
