One year study of musculoskeletal disorders and their relation to occupational stress among office workers: a brief report

Background: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD s ) are the most common reported occupational health problem which cause high financial burden and reduce efficiency of workers. MSD s are often multifactorial. This study was done to determine the frequency of MSD s and their relation to occupational stress among office workers. Methods: 332 office workers were recruited in descriptive-analytical study. To assess the frequency of MSD s, we used Nordic questionnaires and to assess the occupational stress, we used the general Nordic questionnaire for psychological and social factors at work ( QPS N ordic +34 questionnaire). The collected data were processed and analyzed. Results: Our study showed that the frequency of MSD s among office workers was higher than the general population and the stress index was higher (P=0.002) among the office workers with MSD s than employees without it. Conclusion: This study showed that occupational stress was a risk factor for MSD s, especially in the upper extremities. Abstract
Study and Review of Hybrid Approach for Privacy Preserving Data Mining

– In today’s era of growing technology the data collected by organizations has the requirement to preserve the privacy of the individuals. It needs to maintain privacy of the individuals because users sensitive data is stored online over the centralized repository. The techniques like anonymization, randomization are used to achieve the privacy. But anonymization leads to certain level of information loss while preserving privacy. To overcome this drawback, hybrid approach is used. The proposed system involves combination of two techniques i.e anatomization and perturbation techniques. The quasi-identifiers like zip code, age, gender of a person does not seem to be very important to protect but these fields when linked with some other attributes can expose the identity or sensitive information of an individual. The hybrid method focuses on the goal of preserving privacy by anatomizing and perturbing the quasi identifiers in the sensitive data of customers stored on centralized data repository without causing any loss to the information
Sphered Support Vector Machine

We introduce an objective function for support vector machines (SVMs) which is scale invariant and leads to improved bounds on the generalization error. Standard SVMs and their margin bounds are not invariant under linear transformation. The new objective function leads to new SVM approach, called “Sphered Support Vector Machine” (S-SVM). The S-SVMs are kernelized and regularized but can be fast implemented by an incremental learning method and do not require kernel PCA like the approaches in (Chapelle and Sch¨olkopf, 2002). On real world benchmark datasets we compare the new S-SVMs to standard ν -SVMs, where the S-SVMs showed comparable to superior classiﬁcation performance to ν - SVMs.
Enable Batch Auditing for Secure Cloud Storage Using TPA

— In this paper we used cloud storage servers remotely in order to store and share the data and enjoy the on-demand high-quality applications and services from a shared pool of configurable computing resources, without communication challenges However, the fact that users no longer have physical control over outsourcing data in this connection data integrity over public cloud is a challenging task, thus this integrity will audited by trusted third party behalf of cloud without reviling any user privacy and also TPA executes multiple task simultaneously i.e batch auditing our proposed framework provides high security and high performance
WHF IASC Roadmap on Chagas Disease

Background: Chagas Disease is a neglected tropical disease caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, with some of the most serious manifestations affecting the cardiovascular system. It is a chronic, stigmatizing condition, closely associated with poverty and affecting close to 6 million people globally. Although historically the disease was limited to endemic areas of Latin America recent years have seen an increasing global spread. In addition to the morbidity and mortality associated with the disease, the social and economic burdens on individuals and society are substantial. Often called the ‘silent killer’, Chagas disease is characterized by a long, asymptomatic phase in affected individuals. Approximately 30% then go on develop chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy and other serious cardiac complications such as stroke, rhythm disturbances and severe heart failure. Methods: In a collaboration of the World Hearth Federation (WHF) and the Inter-American Society of Cardiology (IASC) a writing group consisting of 20 diverse experts on Chagas disease (CD) was convened. The group provided up to date expert knowledge based on their area of expertise. An extensive review of the literature describing obstacles to diagnosis and treatment of CD along with proposed solutions was conducted. A survey was sent to all WHF Members and, using snowball sampling to widen the consultation, to a variety of health care professionals working in the CD global health community. The results were analyzed, open comments were reviewed and consolidated, and the findings were incorporated into this document, thus ensuring a consensus representation. Results: The WHF IASC Roadmap on Chagas Disease offers a comprehensive summary of current knowledge on prevention, diagnosis and management of the disease. In providing an analysis of ‘roadblocks’ in access to comprehensive care for Chagas disease patients, the document serves as a framework from which strategies for implementation such as national plans can be formulated. Several dimensions are considered in the analysis: healthcare system capabilities, governance, financing, community awareness and advocacy. Conclusion: The WHF IASC Roadmap proposes strategies and evidence-based solutions for healthcare professionals, health authorities and governments to help overcome the barriers to comprehensive care for Chagas disease patients. This roadmap describes an ideal patient care pathway, and explores the roadblocks along the way, offering potential solutions based on available research and examples in practice. It represents a call to action to decision-makers and health care professionals to step up efforts to eradicate Chagas disease.
Effective Outsourcing Multiparty Computation Supporting Heterogeneous Keys

: These days, numerous associations outsource information storing to the cloud such that a part of an association (data owner) can share information or data easily among other members (clients). Because of the presence of security concerns in the cloud, both managers and clients are recommended to check the integrity of cloud information with Provable Information Ownership (PIO) before further use of information. Nonetheless, past strategy outsourcing the information and application to a gathering part causes the security and protection issues to turn into a discriminating concern. In that framework security and protection properties are not completely dissected. We have recognized five most illustrative security and protection qualities (i
Offshore Movements and Behaviour of the Razorbill ( Alca torda ) in Atlantic Canada

Little is known about Razorbill movements while they are away from the breeding colony or the factors that influence their distribution. I deployed Argos satellite transmitters on Razorbills (n = 8) breeding at Machias Seal Island from June 2006 to December 2006 to assess Razorbill movements while away from the breeding colony and determine the effects of four oceanographic characteristics on Razorbill spatial distribution. The Razorbills maintained a close distance to shore and were not observed outside of the Bay of Fundy. No correlation was observed between Razorbill distribution and either sea surface temperature or chlorophyll concentration, however there is evidence that Razorbill distribution is influenced by bathymetric depth and the slope of the ocean floor. The Razorbills in this study were associated with factors that influence upwelling and mixing but not with the effects themselves. Transmitter failure was confirmed in two cases and suspected in others.
Problems of Poverty

At our 1988 annual meeting of the National Federation of Catholic Physicians' Guilds, Bishop Carl Fisher, SSJ, Auxiliary Bishop of Los Angeles, spoke so eloquently of the demoralizing, demeaning, and dehumanizing effects of extreme poverty on the poor of our society. We live in one of the most affluent nations in the history of the world, and most of us share in its rewards and benefits. Yet, it is a social and moral scandal that almost 50 million people in this country live in poverty and the number is growing each year. They are the sick, the homeless, the hungry, the chronically malnourished, the unemployed. They have been subjected to deprivation, poor education, and dehumanizing treatment by our social agencies and welfare programs. Their health care is inadequate or totally lacking. In my own state, approximately one million of our citizens lack any form of health insurance. Medicaid reimbursement is so inadequate that physicians are increasingly reluctant to accept such recipients as patients. Our neighboring state officials estimate that 15 percent of the women of that state giving birth do so without adequate prenatal care. Poor nutrition, poor education, adolescence, faulty conceptions about pregnancy, and chemical abuse make these high risk pregnancies with an increased chance that the babies will be born with problems. It would seem that, with the richness of the earth and with a better use and more equal distribution of its resources, much of the misery of man
Effect of Spreading Sequence, Modulation Schemes, Number of Users and Detection Technique on the Performance of MC-CDMA System

In this paper the BER performance of the Multi Carrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) is evaluated over Rayleigh fading channel. MC-CDMA is a promising technique to full fill the high speed data transmission requirements of today’s diversified wireless networks. MC-CDMA system incorporates the advantage of two schemes which are Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) and the code division multiple access (CDMA). In this paper we present MATLAB simulation results to show the effect of various parameters such as: Spreading sequence, Modulation schemes, Number of users and Detection technique on the performance of the MC-CDMA system. Bit Error Rate (BER) and Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) are chosen as the performance metrics for comparison of the simulation results.
Thinking in Pictures Educational Services (TIPES): A Preliminary Report of an Intensive Behavioral Intervention for Children with Moderate to Severe Autism Spectrum Disorder

Introduction: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a potentially severely disabling exceptionality, and there is evidence of increasing incidence. In extreme cases major challenges can develop early in childhood for those individuals, their families and educational services. Social isolation, language problems, sensory and behavioural problems can all become entrenched if effective support is not provided. Interventions capable of delivering a recovery trajectory with transition to public/private education for children with moderate to severe ASD have been infrequently reported in the literature. Intensive behavioural intervention (IBI) as delivered within the Thinking in Pictures Educational Services (TIPES) has, as yet, not been tested as an intervention for children with moderate to severe autism. Methodology: IBI was delivered over a minimum of 12 months with 25-40 hours of individual therapy per week. Following a baseline memory paradigm assessment, a participant-specific IBI intervention was delivered. A combination of discrete trial training and ESDM, verbal behavior approach followed by direct instruction programs were used to improve language and social functioning. Baseline and end of intervention Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills-Revised (ABLLS-R) scores were recorded and compared to standard age adjusted mean childhood scores for educational ability. Each participant was assessed Assessment of Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC) in order to evaluate the impact of the intervention on the 4 domains of ASD (speech, sociability, sensory, behaviour performance). The primary end point was taken as the last score on the ATEC and ABLLS-R. The primary outcome was attendance in public and privately funded classroom settings. Results: All results within this study were significant. In terms of the primary outcome 9 out of 14 children with moderate to severe childhood ASD treated with IBI, using the TIPES method attended public/private funded sector education during the second year. There was an effect size (number needed to treat) of 2 indicating a very effective intervention. Basic language and learning skills as scored on the ABLLS-R significantly improved (p<0.000). Core characteristics of ASD as measured on the ATEC total scores significantly improved at end of treatment (p<0.012). All ATEC subscale scores significantly improved. Baseline mean speech scores significantly improved (p<0.006) as did sociability (p<0.005), sensory (p<0.078) and behaviour scores (p<0.041). Conclusion: This preliminary study indicated that educational attendance was possible for the majority of children with moderate to severe ASD who were accepted by TIPES and treated with an individualised combined IBI approach based on memory and learning capacity. If these results can be replicated this would be a highly cost-effective intervention.
Perceived depth inversion of smoothly curved surfaces due to image orientation

A relative depth judgement task was used to distinguish perceived reversals in depth due to image orientation from spontaneous reversals such as those observed with a Necker cube. Results demonstrate that inversion effects due to image orientation can occur for several different types of pictorial representation and that many of these effects are incompatible with traditional explanations involving a perceptual bias for overhead illumination. When this bias was neutralized by placing the light source at the point of observation, the effects of image orientation were just as large as with overhead illumination. Similar results were also obtained for surfaces depicted with texture or motion in which all relevant shading information was eliminated. These results can be explained by a perceptual bias for backward slanting surfaces, but additional evidence suggests that this bias can be attenuated by the presence of smooth occlusion contours.

Norms of Distribution of Readability Variables Selected to Develop Readability Formula for Kannada Language

Readability formula is a predictive device to determine the extent of readability of selected written material in general and agricultural publications in particular. The foremost purpose of every readability formula is to serve as a good yardstick to measure the readability level of the passage analysed and also to provide guidelines and procedures for the writers to make their writing readable. With this purpose in view, readability formula was specifically developed for the study. The developed readability formula was found appropriate to describe in detail the norms of distribution of the three readability variables with reference to different school levels. Word length, Average sentence length and Percentage technical words were the readability variables selected for the study. The norms of distribution in terms of mean, standard deviation and range of the three readability variables are presented for three categories viz., Primary school, Middle school, and High school level. Further it was also essential to know the relationship between the readability formula developed and the earlier formulae developed in Kannada language. For this purpose, 20articles were selected from KrishiVignana journal for illustrating the application of present formula and analyzed using the earlier readability formulae. Results revealed that there was a significant relationship between the developed readability formulae with the readability formula developed by earlier social scientists. The formula will be particularly helpful for prior testing of written material before publishing it for the benefit of readers in general and farmers in particular. The norms of distribution developed will be helpful to comprehend more accurately which type of words and sentence they can use while writing for a particular type of readers. K e y w o r d s
Comparison of routine hematological indicators of liver and kidney function, blood count and lipid profile in healthy people and stroke patients

Background and methods Stroke has become a major public health problem worldwide. In this article, we carried out statistical analysis, correlation analysis and principal component analysis (PCA) to evaluate the clinical value of routine hematological indicators in early diagnosis of ischemic stroke using R language. Results For the full blood count comparisons, stroke patients had obvious differences in the distribution width of red blood cells (RDW-CV), average distribution width of red blood cells (RDW-SD), mean hemoglobin concentrations, platelet large cell ratio, mean platelet volume and lymphocytes. Patients with ischemic stroke also exhibited different degrees of abnormalities in liver function test. With respect to renal function, stroke patients had obvious changes in uric acid and urea levels. Finally, when comparing the lipid profile, triglyceride concentrations were increased and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations were reduced in stroke patients. In addition, correlation analysis among these clinical indicators indicated that there were both common characteristics and differences between patients and health controls. Furthermore, the results of PCA indicated that these clinical indicators could distinguish patients from the healthy controls. Conclusion Conventional hematological clinical indicators, such as liver function, renal function, full blood count and lipid concentration profiles highly correlated with the occurrence of ischemic stroke. Therefore, the detection and analyzation of these clinical indicators are of great significance for the prediction of ischemic stroke.
An authority: Merchant Lock in to Meta storage

:- Expense and versatility advantages of Cloud storage administrations are evident. Notwithstanding, selecting a solitary storage service provider limits accessibility and versatility to the chose supplier and may further cause a merchant lock basically. In this paper, we introduce Meta Storage Capacity, an unified Cloud storage framework that can incorporate differing Cloud storage suppliers. Meta storage Capacity is a very accessible and versatile circulated hash table that imitates information on top of assorted storage service. Meta Capacity reuses instruments from Amazon's Dynamo for cross-supplier replication and thus acquaints a novel methodology with oversee consistency-inactivity tradeoffs by amplifying the customary majority (N; R; W) configurations to an (np; R; W) conspire that incorporates distinctive providers as an extra measurement. With Metastorage, new means to control consistency-inertness tradeoffs are presented.
The Effectiveness of Occupational Therapist Guided Remediation Through Handwriting Home Programs

There is extensive research on the evolution of handwriting instruction, programs, the neuromotor components, the complexity of performance, and the long term effects of both adequate and inferior performance to occupational performance. The research supports occupational therapy intervention as effective for remediation of poor handwriting. With occupational therapy services limited to only those who receive special education services in schools, supplemental handwriting instruction and remediation responsibilities fall to the teachers and parents. This also creates a large unserved segment of children who struggle under traditional instructional approaches. Parents and teachers have instructional support needs related to current evidence based practice handwriting methods. What has not been explored or researched, is the effect or role home programs can potentially play in improving skill mastery, with parents as the primary supplemental educators. Occupational performance coaching is a recognized and effective intervention, due to the emphasis on therapist and parent collaboration to improve student achievement. Despite extensive literature review, there are no current research studies that evaluate the effectiveness of parent coaching to improve kindergarten student’s alphabet letter formation. The purpose of this quasi-experimental research is to measure two preselected group pretest-posttest outcome measures of the effectiveness of an occupational therapist guided, home handwriting instruction program of student performance, with legible alphabet letter formation. This research is a significant first step in the attempt to improve student performance through the exploration of innovative service delivery models, parent involvement, team collaboration, and improved educational outcomes for the children, through legible handwriting.
