Extracting use Cases from Mobile Educational Applications Requirements

Abstract –The Unified Modeling Language is one of the popular traditional tools used for designing a model for software designing. But there are a few aspects which cannot be described by UML while developing the design model for mobile application development. So to describe all the aspects of mobile app model a modified version of UML is defined called M-UML. For initial design of the model use case are used to show the relationship between the various users in the project. The use case helps to depict the task done by various users and relationship of the task among each other graphically. In this paper, we will discuss the implementation of use case diagrams with detailed model of the project as a case study. Use case being the most basic step of creating a model for the project discusses in detail.

Transient flow arrest caused by induced Adenonsine administration has been used to facilitate microsurgical clipping in some cases of cerebral aneurysms. Here, we described our experience in two cases where adenosine induced flow arrest facilitate to place the clip in the neck of aneurysm without any complication, in cases where proximal control is not possible.
The Report of the First 12 Cases of Heart Transplantation among Children at Shahid Rajaei Heart Center

Purpose: In the present report, the baseline information and outcome of heart transplantation surgeries among 12 children in our hospital as the first referral heart center for this operation were described. Methods: Twelve patients aged less than 14 years that underwent heart transplantation from 2012 to 2015 at Shahid Rajaei Heart Center were retrospectively reviewed. Results: One of the transplanted patients was positive for cytomegalovirus antigen two months after the surgery that was successfully treated. Another patient was diagnosed as giardia-related diarrhea two weeks after grafting that was completely improved. One of the patients suffered renal aspergillus abscess 10 months later that was finally discharged after complete treatment. With respect to graft rejection, 2 cases suffered rejection that both improved fortunately and were discharged after treatment. Only one patient died early due to C and S proteins deficiency and coagulation problems. Although the patient was undertreated with ECMO protocol, he died due to brain death after a week of transplantation. Conclusion: In our short-term experience, we could achieve an appropriate procedural outcome with low death rate and controlled postoperative complications following heart transplantation in our required children.
Problems Pitfalls and Prospects for 00 Code Reviews

Software inspection is a well-known technique used for defect detection. For the most part, code inspections have been based on procedural languages, e.g. C, with minimal interest in the effect object-oriented code potentially has in complicating the process, and what can be done to help an inspector overcome these problems. This paper describes an investigation into the OO inspection process that focuses on defects and their associated detection rates It was found that several characteristics of OO defects, sending messages to objects, use of class libraries, data flow error, made certain defects more difficult to detect. The paper concludes by describing a selection of possible aids that could be used to help the inspector find the defects with these troublesome characteristics.
A study of dynamic behavior of a recurrent neural network for control

The dynamic behavior of a two-neuron recurrent network formulated from biological observations is studied. Different parameters that will affect the dynamic behavior of the network include decaying constant, synaptic weight, initial state of neuron, input to the system, and the activation function. The issues of stability, equilibrium state, and convergence time are explored. The convergence time is affected by the choice of decaying constant. In addition, the discontinuous activation function presents several favorable features over the continuous sigmoid function from the control point of view. Because of the discontinuity, equilibrium state can be separated into active region and inactive region. The active region can be triggered through the excitatory input, if the initial state is in the inactive region. The state of the equilibrium point is 'directly modulated by the input, which implies a unique input-output relationship. <<ETX>>
Awareness, Knowledge and Perception of In-Vitro Fertilization among Final-Year Medical Students in South-West Nigeria

Background: In-vitro fertilization is a component of Assisted Reproductive Technique. Objective: To evaluate awareness, knowledge and perception of final year medical students in In-vitro fertilization. Method: A semi-structured questionnaire was served to 126 participants in September 2015. Result: Mean [±SD] age of the 69 males (27.1 [4.2]) in the study was significantly difference (t=3.15; P-value=0.001) from that of the 57 females (25.1 [2.9]). In all, approximately 35%were sexually active 6 months prior to the survey, including 28% and 3% with one and with ≥4 heterogenous sexual partners respectively while almost 37% had never had sex. Three (5.3%) females and 2 (2.9%) males had their first heterosexual intercourse at age ≤15. Almost 63% of them heard of IVF during lectures. About 90% knew that IVF involves bringing egg and sperm together outside the body and putting fertilized egg back into the womb. While 84% regarded IVF babies as normal, 72% thought that it is too expensive, though 70% would opt for IVF in case of infertility. In all, 82% agreed that the wife is commonly blamed for infertility. Conclusion: Major source of information on IVF was during medical lectures. Most of the respondents knew of basic IVF procedure. Assisted Reproductive Technology should be stressed more in medical curriculum.

Creativity-Supporting Learning Environments: Two Case Studies on Teaching Programming

It is known that students’ learning approaches, types of motivation, and types of self-regulation are connected with learning outcomes. It is also known, that deep learning approaches, self-regulated learning, and intrinsic types of motivation are connected with creativity. However, in computing pedagogy there is a lack in empirically grounded analyses in integration of the varying educational theories to build learning environments that support creativity. The literature of programming education proposes a variety of theoretical, as well as practical viewpoints in relation to the teaching and learning situation. However, little e↵ort has been put on understanding cultural and contextual di↵erences in pedagogy of programming. Literature shows that education is highly context dependent, and that educational design should account for contextual di↵erences. In programming education, the nature and implications of those di↵erences are hitherto unclear. In this study, the paucity in research about creativity-supporting learning environments in computing education, and about contextual di↵erences in the pedagogy of programming are addressed through two case studies. In the first context (CUH) of this study (Department of Computer Science, University of Helsinki, Finland), a method of learning-by-inventing was designed and integrated into a robotics-based programming class, and its effects on students’ learning were investigated through qualitative analysis of 144 interviews. In the second context (CTU ) of this study (IT Department, Tumaini University, Iringa University College, Iringa, Tanzania) a number
Thyroid Nodule <1Cm and Low-Risk Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinoma: What are today’s Management Options?

The referred ATA Guideline [1] eliminates the biopsy from the management of the sub centimeter nodules, suggesting repetition of sonography every 6-12 months. The committee justified this action, to indicate FNAB only for suspicious nodules above 1cm, by the indolence of the papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) and because these tumors rarely present ETE, cervical lymph node or distant metastasis, especially in individuals over 60 years of age [patients younger than 40 years are at increased risk for tumor growth (5.9%) and cervical lymph node metastasis (2.2%), when compared to those over 60 years, 5.3% and 0.4%, respectively; p <0.05] [2].
Auswirkung verschiedener Percent-Tissue-altered-Werte auf das Behandlungsergebnis bei refraktiver Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (ReLEx SMILE)

Zusammenfassung Ziel Vergleich der Ergebnisse nach ReLEx-SMILE-Behandlung zwischen Augen mit niedrigen und hohen PTA-Werten (PTA: Percent Tissue altered) bis zu 3 Jahre nach OP sowie Untersuchung der Frage, ob hohe PTA-Werte bei der SMILE, ähnlich wie bei der LASIK, die Entwicklung einer frühen Keratektasie begünstigen können. Methode In dieser retrospektiven Analyse wurden die Ergebnisse von 313 Augen (189 Patienten) mit einem PTA-Wert von weniger als 40 % mit denen von 373 Augen (213 Patienten) mit einem PTA-Wert von mindestens 40 % verglichen. Präoperativ und bis zu 3 Jahre postoperativ wurden dazu die Refraktionswerte, der monokulare korrigierte (CDVA) sowie unkorrigierte (UDVA) Fernvisus und Wellenfrontdaten evaluiert. Ergebnis Ein bis 3 Jahre nach OP zeigte die Gruppe mit PTA < 40 % (PTA ≥ 40 %) in 1,1 % (0,0 %) der Fälle einen Verlust von 2 Zeilen im korrigierten Fernvisus. Verluste von 1 Zeile CDVA traten bei 1,1 % (3,6 %) der Augen auf. 97,7 % (96,4 %) blieben unverändert oder gewannen Zeilen hinzu. In Bezug auf die Vorhersagbarkeit lag das sphärische Äquivalent bei 92,0 % (78,6 %) der Augen im Bereich von ± 0,5 dpt und zu 97,7 % (92,9 %) im Bereich von ± 1,0 dpt. Die Gruppe mit hohen PTA-Werten wies eine signifikant größere Unterkorrektur von ca. 0,25 dpt auf. Es erreichten 74,4 % (71,8 %) der Augen einen unkorrigierten Fernvisus von mindestens 20/20 und 96,5 % (87,1 %) erreichten mindestens 20/25. Der mittlere UDVA war − 0,03 ± 0,10logMAR (0,01 ± 0,12logMAR) und der Unterschied zum präoperativen CDVA betrug 0,00 ± 0,09logMAR (0,03 ± 0,12logMAR). Schlussfolgerung Die ReLEx SMILE ist auch für PTA-Werte von 40 % und mehr eine sichere und effektive Behandlungsmethode in der refraktiven Hornhautchirurgie. Augen mit hohen PTA-Werten zeigten im Rahmen dieser Untersuchung bis zu 3 Jahre nach OP keine Anzeichen für die Entwicklung einer frühen Keratektasie.
Routine Preoperative Echocardiograms in Select Patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Rarely Show Abnormalities and do not Predict Adverse Cardiovascular Events

Study Design: Retrospective Objectives: The prevalence and clinical significance of cardiac abnormalities detected on ECHO in surgically treated AIS patients is unclear. Our goals were to determine the prevalence of cardiac abnormalities detected on echocardiography (ECHO) in patients undergoing surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Further, we aimed to determine whether preoperative curve magnitude is associated with abnormal ECHO findings and whether ECHO abnormalities are associated with perioperative cardiovascular complications. Methods: We reviewed clinical records of 619 patients aged 10 to 18 years with AIS who underwent spinal fusion from 2000 through 2015. Indications for ECHO were a major curve greater than 70o or recommendation by primary care providers. Major curve magnitudes were calculated using Cobb angles. We assessed for adverse perioperative cardiovascular events. Statistical significance was tested using Student t test with an alpha level of <. 05. Results: Forty-three (7 %) patients had a preoperative ECHO within 6 months before surgery (23 normal ECHOs, 16 normal variants (including trivial valvular abnormalities), and 4 abnormal ECHOs (all mild functional or structural abnormalities). There was no association between presence of cardiac abnormalities and major curve magnitude (p = .38). There were no documented perioperative adverse cardiovascular events in any of the 43 cases nor in the 576 patients who did not have preoperative ECHOs. Conclusion: Patients with abnormal ECHOs did not experience perioperative cardiovascular events. Curve magnitude was not associated with abnormal ECHO findings. Routine preoperative ECHOs in AIS patients based on curve magnitude did not change management in these patients.
Clinical Study on Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) In Patients with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma in YogyakartaReview of Life Expectancy and Cytokine Level

Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a malignancy in nasopharynx cavity originated from mucosal epithelial cell of nasopharynx. In Indonesia, nasopharyngeal carcinoma is the most considerable malignancy in head and neck area with the highest mortality rate. Objective: To perceive that photodynamic therapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma either residual or recurrence patients after receiving radiation or in chemo radiation therapy will yield a well-responded therapy, better life expectancy compared to those who didn't receive PDT, and inducing systemic anti-tumor response which was marked by the increased level of immune-response cytokines. Methods: This research took place in Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Faculty of Medicine University of Gadjah Mada/Dr Sardjito General Hospital Yogyakarta, Indonesia using cohort retrospective design. The subjects of this research are patients with residual or recurrence nasopharyngeal carcinoma who had received photodynamic therapies between the years 2005-2011. Pre and posttest examination were used to test the hypothesis of the cytokines level difference before and after photodynamic therapies. Results: As much as 58.1% patients were men, and 41.9% of patients were female. Most of the patients were above 40 years of age. As much as 21 out of 31 patients (67.7%) were previously diagnosed as nasopharyngeal carcinomas in late stages, in this case the given treatment was chemo radiation. The 5 years life expectancy of residual or recurrence nasopharyngeal carcinoma is 60.7%. This number was preferable compared to the life expectancy of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients who received standard therapy of either radiation or chemo radiation. Residual and recurrence nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients diagnosed between year 2009- 2013 without photodynamic therapy showed the 5 year overall survival rate as much as 22.9% with the median 23.6 months. There was a significant difference of life expectancy either clinically or statistically in patients with residual of recurrence nasopharyngeal cancer who received PDT compared to those who did not (p=0.004). Conclusion: In long-term observation, it was reported that photodynamic therapy (PDT) increased the 5 years survival rate in patients with residual or recurrence nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Patients who received PDT had life expectancy 5 years longer than patients who did not receive PDT.
Low phase noise millimeter-wave frequency sources using InP-based HBT MMIC technology

A family of millimeter-wave sources based on InP heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) monolithic microwave/millimeter-wave integrated circuit (MMIC) technology has been developed. These sources include 40-GHz, 46-GHz, 62-GHz MMIC fundamental mode oscillators, and a 95-GHz frequency source module using a 23.8-GHz InP HBT MMIC dielectric resonator oscillator (DRO) in conjunction with a GaAs-based high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) MMIC frequency quadrupler and W-band output amplifiers. Good phase noise performance was achieved due to the low 1/f noise of the InP-based HBT devices. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of millimeter-wave sources using InP-based HBT MMIC's.
Wearable Technology: If the Tech Fits, Wear It

“Wearable technology” and “wearable devices” are phrases that describe electronics and computers that are integrated into clothing and other accessories that can be worn comfortably on the body. Examples of wearable devices include glasses, watches, headbands, and jewelry. While these technologies show great influence in fashion and entertainment, they have the largest impact in the areas of health, medicine, and fitness. Librarians are also exploring wearable technology's potential for enhancing services and expanding outreach to their organizations.
Low memory decision tree method for text-to-phoneme mapping

Pronunciation models are commonly used in automatic speech recognition (ASR) as well as in text-to-speech (TTS) applications. Decision tree (DT) and neural network (NN) methods have been used for modeling the languages with irregular pronunciation. The DT based methods are usually more accurate and therefore they provide better recognition accuracy than the NN based methods. The main drawback of the DT based methods is their large memory footprint. In the paper, we propose three methods, i.e.: (1) a clipping approach to reduce the pronunciation variability in the aligned dictionary; (2) a revised DT structure; and (3) a Huffman coding scheme for efficient DT parameter storing that can jointly be applied to minimize the memory footprint of the DT models. The results obtained in the simulation experiments indicate that the memory requirements of the DT models can significantly be reduced without degrading the mapping accuracy. The applicability of the approach is also verified in the speech recognition experiments.
Advances in Automatic Detection of Body Condition Score of Cows: A Mini Review

BCS is a method to estimate body fat stores and accumulated energy balance of cows. This value influences productivity, reproduction, and health of cows. Therefore, it is important to monitor BCS to achieve a better animal response. In practice, this task is performed by expert scorers mainly visually, and could vary between scorers and be time-consuming. For this reason, several studies have tried to automate BCS by applying image analysis and machine learning techniques. An overview of selected studies is provided in this mini review.
Guaranteeing bandwidth and minimizing delay in packet-switched (ATM) networks

Future high-speed networks that will support integrated video, voice and data applications are expected to utilize the concepts of ATM fast packet switching. The concepts of isolating misbehaving users and sharing resources to achieve optimal delay performance are extremely important to consider when designing queue service policies for practical implementations. Most previous service policies have been designed to satisfy one, but not both, of these goals. We present a novel service policy that combines the desirable features of isolation and sharing to provide guaranteed bandwidth for real-time traffic while attempting to minimize system delay. This service policy, guaranteed-bandwidth minimum-delay (GBMD), operates in two phases. The first phase of the policy ensures that the requested guaranteed bandwidth is delivered to each flow. The second phase, which only occurs when excess bandwidth is available, optimizes given performance criteria (e.g., system delay) by appropriately serving packets. The GBMD policy is easy to implement and flexible to tune based on system requirements. Simulation results show that overall system performance is superior to several other service policies.
Policy-based service-driven dynamic planning of heterogeneous wireless networks

The commercial success of the future mobile networks relies largely on its flexibility in providing adaptive and cost-effective services. Based on the analysis of the basic architecture of Future Heterogeneous Wireless Networks (F-HWNs) and their implication on Dynamic Network Planning (DNP), a policy-based service-driven approach is proposed and its prototype implementation called PoDNP is presented in this paper. PoDNP especially advocates the context-aware adaptability of network planning via Policy-Based Management (PBM) method and the service-driven nature of DNP.
Effect of a nurse-led health talk on malaria prevention behaviors among primigravida women attending university of jos health centre, plateau state

Malaria is an infection of red blood cells with single cell parasites plasmodium that cause fever, malaise, enlarged spleen, chills, headache, nausea and anemia. The disease is acute and chronic protozoan infection transmitted female anopheles mosquitoes to human [1]. Globally, an estimated 3.3 billion people are at risk of being infected with malaria and developing disease, and 1.2 billion are at high risk. It has been documented that 198 million cases occur globally in 2013 which led to 584,000 deaths [2]. Nigeria accounts for 25% of the malaria burden in sub-saharan Africa [3]. Malaria is a risk for 97% of Nigeria’s population. The remaining 3% of the population live in the malaria free highlands. Malaria infection during pregnancy has been a major public health problem in endemic areas such as tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world [4].
