The British Columbia Seniors' Brown Bag Clinic Pilot Project: Medication Problems Identified and Participant Assessments

RÉSUMÉ Les cliniques « Brown Bag » permettent aux pharmaciens participants de rencontrer les personnes âgées afin d'examiner les médicaments en leur possession et de corriger les situations qui pourraient mener à des réactions toxiques (DRAPEs — drug-related adverse patient events). Cent vingt-trois patients ont été en contact avec 30 pharmaciens lors des cliniques pilotes tenues dans sept communautés de la Colombie-Britannique. En moyenne, chaque patient a apporté plus de neuf médicaments (prescrits ou non-prescrits) et les cliniciens ont identifié 482 problèmes potentiels de médication (les médecins traitants de 39 patients ont été immédiatement contactés). Plus de 80 pour cent des patients ont considéré les cliniques « Brown Bag » comme étant utiles et ont manifesté le désir de participer à nouveau lors de futures cliniques. Les pharmaciens cliniciens, bien qu'en faveur des cliniques, sont cependant réticents à ré-offrir leur services de façon bénévole. Lors des cliniques de rappel conduites de six à 11 mois plus tard, les patients avaient oublié une bonne partie de l'information obtenue lors des premières sessions. ABSTRACT In Brown Bag Clinics, pharmacists review seniors' medications to identify and correct situations which could lead to drug-related adverse patient events (DRAPEs). Pilot Brown Bag Clinics were held in seven British Columbia communities, 123 clients interacting with 30 pharmacists. On average, each client brought more than nine medications (prescription and non-prescription) for review. Clinic pharmacists identified 482 potential medication problems, and immediately contacted clients' physicians regarding potential medication problems for 39 clients. Rating the Brown Bag Clinics as useful, over 80 per cent of clients expressed interest in participating in future clinics. Clinic pharmacists, supportive of the Brown Bag Clinics, indicated that they were nonetheless unlikely to continue to volunteer their services. Six to 11 months post-clinic clients had forgotten a significant amount of medication information provided at the clinics, suggesting that attendance at future clinics might be necessary.
Health Status Determinants: Lifestyle, Environment, Health Care Resources and Efficiency

This paper aims to shed light on the contribution of health care and other determinants to the health status of the population and to provide evidence on whether or not health care resources are producing similar value for money across OECD countries. First, it discusses the pros and cons of various indicators of the health status, concluding that mortality and longevity indicators have some drawbacks but remain the best available proxies. Second, it suggests that changes in health care spending, lifestyle factors (smoking and alcohol consumption as well as diet), education, pollution and income have been important factors behind improvements in health status. Third, it derives estimates of countries’ relative performance in transforming health care resources into longevity from two different methods – panel data regressions and data envelopment analysis – which give remarkably consistent results. The empirical estimates suggest that potential efficiency gains might be large enough to raise life expectancy at birth by almost three years on average for OECD countries, while a 10% increase in total health spending would increase life expectancy by three to four months. Determinants de l'etat de sante : style de vie, environnement socio-economique, ressources Ce document examine la contribution des soins medicaux ainsi que d’autres facteurs a l’etat de sante de la population et tente de determiner si les depenses dans le domaine de la sante produisent les memes resultats selon les pays de l’OCDE. En premier lieu, il s’interroge sur les avantages et les inconvenients des differents indicateurs de l’etat de sante et en conclut que, malgre leurs defauts, les indicateurs de mortalite et de longevite demeurent les meilleures approximations disponibles. Il suggere ensuite que les evolutions des depenses de sante, des modes de vie (consommation de tabac et d’alcool, regime alimentaire), du niveau d’education, de la pollution et des revenus ont ete des facteurs importants de l’amelioration de l’etat de sante. Enfin, il estime la capacite relative des differents pays a transformer les ressources medicales en accroissement de la longevite, en s’appuyant sur deux methodes differentes (regressions sur donnees de panel et analyse d’enveloppement de donnees) qui donnent des resultats remarquablement similaires. Les estimations empiriques suggerent que l’esperance de vie pourrait s’accroitre de presque trois ans en moyenne dans les pays de l’OCDE si les ressources medicales disponibles etaient utilisees plus efficacement, tandis qu’une augmentation des depenses totales de sante de 10% se traduirait par trois a quatre mois d’esperance de vie supplementaire.

Programa de estimulación con novas tecnoloxías e programa de estimulación multisensorial para maiores

O obxectivo deste traballo e desenar un programa de intervencion para a poboacion maior baseado en propostas de actualidade, tratando de estudar o efecto da estimulacion con novas tecnoloxias (Smartbrain e Nintendo Wii ®), da estimulacion multisensorial e do metodo Montessori. Os participantes desta investigacion son todos os usuarios do centro de dia das Neves (Consorcio Galego de Servizos de Igualdade e Benestar), divididos en tres grupos, en funcion do seu rendemento cognitivo. Os grupos 1 e 2 (sen deterioracion cognitiva e deterioracion levemoderada, respectivamente) reciben estimulacion a traves do programa de ordenador Smartbrain e a traves do xogo Wii Sports da videoconsola Nintendo Wii ®. Ademais, reciben estimulacion sensorial baseada en contextos snoezelen. O grupo 3 (deterioracion cognitiva grave ou moi grave) recibe estimulacion baseada en contextos snoezelen e no metodo Montessori. Aplicaronse algunhas sesions de proba, atopando unha boa aceptacion entre os participantes. Co programa Smartbrain, o rendemento dos participantes mellora co paso das sesions, indicando, unha mellora co manexo e unha habituacion. Co videoxogo, o numero de asistencias foi decrecendo co paso das sesions, o que reflicte un mellor manexo e unha maior comprension. A estimulacion multisensorial cos grupos 1 e 2 indica que os estimulos presentados resultan agradables e contribuen a inducir un estado de relaxacion. En canto a estimulacion multisensorial e Montessori co grupo 3, observouse unha alta participacion e alguns cambios na conduta positivos.
GDoF of Interference Channel with Limited Cooperation under Finite Precision CSIT

The Generalized Degrees of Freedom (GDoF) of the two user interference channel are characterized for all parameter regimes under the assumption of finite precision channel state information at the transmitters (CSIT), when a limited amount of cooperation is allowed between the transmitters in the form of ï€ DoF of shared messages. In all cases, the number of over-the-air bits that each cooperation bit buys is shown to be equal to either 0, 1, 1/2 or 1/3.
A placement driven methodology for high-level synthesis of sub-micron ASIC's

This paper proposes a novel methodology for automated data-path synthesis of deep submicron Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). In contrast to other approaches, we formulate interconnect area/delay optimizations as high-level synthesis transformations and use them during the synthesis to minimize impact of wiring on circuit characteristics. Experiments with 0.5 /spl mu/m and 0.25 /spl mu/m ASIC implementations of the DCT algorithm show that such formulation jointly with performance-driven floorplanning and "on-fly" module generation provides significant wiring delay reduction.
Analysis and Design of a Dependability Manager for Self-Aware System-on-Chips

The Dependability Manager (DM) is a coprocessor for SoCs that employs reconfigurable scan networks (RSN) to increase the dependability of the chip. The DM features a novel Retargeting Engine and Interrupt Management Unit to access IEEE 1687 (IJTAG) RSNs. A toolchain was developed to integrate PDL procedures into the dependability application. The architecture was proven in simulations and on a Cyclone IV FPGA.
A DSP-based vector control of five-phase synchronous reluctance motor

In this paper, the mathematical model of a five-phase synchronous reluctance motor (SynRel) is given. The well known winding function method is used to derive the winding inductances in order to develop the dynamic equations of SynRel in yhe natural frame of reference (a-b-c-d-e). The five-phase transformation from the stationary (a-b-c-d-e) reference frame to a rotating (d-q-D-Q-n) reference frame is developed to remove the angular dependency of the inductances. Later, voltage equations for the five-phase SynRel in synchronous rotating reference frame are developed. Based on the developed voltage equations, the equivalent circuits in the synchronous reference frame are also presented to better understand the operation of the motor drive. The torque in terms of currents is then obtained using the magnetic co-energy method. Indirect rotor flux field-oriented control is then developed for the five-phase SynRel motor followed by simulation results using Matlab/Simulink The control block diagram of the proposed indirect vector control is also given in this paper. A five-phase SynRel motor plus a five phase current regulated space vector PWM (SVPWM) inverter are designed and fabricated in the laboratory. The control method is implemented using the floating-point digital signal processor board TMS320C32 to verify the validity of the developed control strategy.
IoT Student Advisor and Best Lifestyle Analyzer (ISABELA)

This report is focused on the work made throughout the internship. The work carried consisted on the study of the technologies and protocols underlying the project, the study of IoT Student Advisor and Best Lifestyle Analyzer (ISABELA) and some similar case studies, the implementation of a proximity module through bluetooth operations and the study of Network Management Protocols and integration of the Lightweight machine-to-machine (LWM2M) protocol, that manages the various devices that are part of the project. The objective of this thesis is to continue and expand the work done on ISABELA so far. Therefore, one of the focal points of this thesis is the development of a proximity module developed to infer about sociability. The module is based on bluetooth operations to discover nearby devices, at all times, and know the amount of time a participant spends with the same people, amongst random people or alone. The platform was tested in a real-life context, with students at Department of Engineering Informatics (DEI), Instituto Superior de Contabilidade e Administração de Coimbra (ISCAC) and Escuela Politécnica Nacional (EPN), in Ecuador. One of the main objectives was achieved, as the system informs the participant when it detects “bad behavior”, through messages from the ChatBot. This module, also, served to better understand the platform and learn to work with its components. The other focal point of this thesis is the incorporation of a network management protocol to manage all the heterogeneous devices that complete ISABELA. The chosen protocol was LWM2M, a protocol design by Open Mobile Alliance SpecWorks for managing sensor networks and remote machine-to-machine devices. The integration of the protocol was made through two approaches: 1) Eclipse’s Leshan, where the management protocol is parallel to the ISABELA system and 2) FIWARE’s LWM2M IoT Agent, where the server is integrated on the project’s Internet of Things (IoT) middleware (FIWARE). Performances tests were made to evaluate the impact that the addition of the management protocol could provoke on the smartphone’s battery use. The results were favorable, culminating in that the battery use is not significantly higher for the application running ISABELA and the LWM2M client compared to the application only running ISABELA.
Micro-Expression Recognition by Leveraging Color Space Information

SUMMARY Micro-expression is one type of special facial expressions and usually occurs when people try to hide their true emotions. Therefore, recognizing micro-expressions has potential values in lots of applications, e.g., lie detection. In this letter, we focus on such a meaningful topic and investigate how to make full advantage of the color information provided by the micro-expression samples to deal with the micro-expression recognition (MER) problem. To this end, we propose a novel method called color space fusion learning (CSFL) model to fuse the spatiotemporal features extracted in di ﬀ erent color space such that the fused spatiotemporal features would be better at describing micro-expressions. To verify the e ﬀ ectiveness of the proposed CSFL method, extensive MER experiments on a widely-used spatiotemporal micro-expression database SMIC is conducted. The experimental results show that the CSFL can signiﬁcantly improve the performance of spatiotemporal features in coping with MER tasks.
Foundational High-level Static Analysis

A formal method (e.g., of software verification) is foundational if it proves program properties from the axioms of logic and from a low-level machine specification (ISA or transistors). The proofs should be machine-checked, because hand-checked proofs don't track real software systems well. With recent advances on several fronts (in static analysis, semantics, compiler verification) it is now feasible to put scalable, fully automatic program analyses (such as shape analysis of concurrent C programs) on a foundational foot- ing. This is an exciting time for the formal verification of soft- ware, in part because several threads of research, in progress for decades, have the potential to cohere. These threads in- clude a gradual revolution in the specification methods for operational semantics of programming languages (1994- 2008); progress in the specification of weak memory mod- els (1992-2008); steady progress in abstract interpretation (1978-2008); the maturation of mechanized proof assistants (1978-2008) and dependently typed logics (1988-2008); successes in compiler verification (1989, 2006); and finally, enough decades of Moore's law so that the proof assistants and the abstract interpretations finally have usable perfor- mance. Now we can achieve end-to-end guarantees: based on fully automated static analyses of source programs, we can efficiently obtain machine-checked proofs about the behav- ior of machine language. In this paper I will outline the ar- chitecture of one such end-to-end system for concurrent pro- grams. The system itself is not at present connected end-to- end; here I outline the possible, not report an achieved result. However, each of the components has been built, by differ- ent researchers at different institutions in different countries, and the method of connecting them has become clear. 1
Acute Kidney Injury in Premature Infants

With the advances in neonatal care, survival of small premature infants has improved at the expenses of increasedmorbidity related to the developmental immaturity of different organs. For instance the physiological limitation of lowglomerular filtration rate, along with the hostile extra-uterine environment leads to renal impairment in premature infants.The majority of the acute kidney injuries (AKI) in premature infants are pre-renal in origin with oliguria as the mostcommon presentation. Though AKI is commonly part of the multi-organ dysfunction, it has an independent associationwith mortality in premature infants. Since changes in serum creatinine and urine output, occur relatively late in the diseasecourse, early diagnosis of AKI through non-invasive biomarkers has been the subject of research in recent years. Principlesof AKI treatment in premature infants are mostly based on experience from pediatric and adult AKI cases. Peritonealdialysis, the main method of renal replacement therapy in neonates, is rarely used and often challenging in small prematureinfants. Due to the impaired postnatal nephrogenesis, premature infants especially with a history of AKI are at risk ofchronic kidney disease, thus deserve long term monitoring of renal function.
Understanding Stretch Shortening Cycle Ability in Youth

ABSTRACT EXTENSIVE RESEARCH HAS INVESTIGATED STRETCH-SHORTENING CYCLE (SSC) PERFORMANCE IN ADULTS; HOWEVER, TO DATE, ONLY A FEW STUDIES HAVE INVESTIGATED SSC ABILITY IN YOUTHS. YOUTHS UNDERGOING PUBERTY EXPERIENCE MANY PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES, WHICH INCLUDE CHANGES TO NEUROMUSCULAR AND MUSCULOTENDINOUS SYSTEMS. TO UNDERSTAND THE POSSIBLE DIFFERENCES IN SSC ABILITY, THIS REVIEW WILL (A) BRIEFLY DISCUSS MATURATION (BIOLOGICAL VS. CHRONOLOGICAL), (B) DISCUSS THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE ACTIVE AND PASSIVE COMPONENTS TO SSC ABILITY AND HOW THESE COMPONENTS MAY CHANGE WITH MATURATION, AND (C) REVIEW THE LITERATURE THAT HAS QUANTIFIED SSC ABILITY ACROSS MATURATION VIA COMPARISON OF COUNTERMOVEMENT AND SQUAT JUMP PERFORMANCE.

Search-Based Algorithm With Scatter Search Strategy for Automated Test Case Generation of NLP Toolkit

Natural language processing (NLP), as a theory-motivated computational technique, has extensive applications. Automated test case generation based on path coverage, which is a popular structural testing activity, can automatically reveal logic defects that exist in NLP programs and can save testing consumption. NLP programs have many paths that can only be covered by specific input variables. This feature makes conventional search-based algorithm very difficult covering all possible paths in NLP programs. A strategy is required for improving the search ability of search-based algorithms. In this paper, we propose a scatter search strategy to automatically generate test cases for covering all possible paths of NLP programs. The scatter search strategy empowers search-based algorithms to explore all input variables and cover the paths that require specific input variables within a small amount of test cases. The experiment results show that the proposed scatter search strategy can quickly cover the paths, which requires specific input variables. Many test cases and running time consumptions will be saved when search-based algorithms combine with scatter search strategy.
