Validación de un modelo explicativo del proceso de envejecer con éxito a partir de aspectos psicológicos, físicos, relacionales y de ocio
Authors: Oliver Amparo , Gutiérrez Melchor , Tomás José M. , Galiana Laura , Sancho Patricia
Published: February 2018

Cada vez más, la investigación sobre el proceso de envejecimiento tiende a adoptar una doble perspectiva emic (específico a una cultura) y etic (universal), necesitándose más estudios que atiendan un enfoque transcultural. El objetivo es obtener respuesta empírica a la pregunta de si un modelo de envejecimiento con éxito planteado desde un contexto diferente como es el taiwanés, es adecuado para representar este proceso en nuestros mayores. La muestra estuvo formada por 737 personas mayores. Se recabaron datos de variables socio-demográficas y diversas escalas para evaluar satisfacción con la vida, ocio, salud y apoyo social. Se puso a prueba un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales tomado de Lee et al. (2011), en el que ocio, salud y apoyo social predecían satisfacción con la vida. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron un ajuste adecuado. En concreto, se observó que, en el marco de otros factores que teóricamente influyentes -salud y apoyo social-, este novedoso aspecto sobre cómo las personas mayores gestionan su tiempo de ocio, aunque explicativo, no es un factor tan determinante como en el estudio de referencia.

Published: February 2018

El bienestar psicológico es un constructo de la máxima importancia en psicología, siendo el equivalente a la salud en términos médicos. Es un concepto multifacético. Que ha dado lugar a dos tradiciones, la hedónica y la eudaimónica. Por otro lado, un marco teórico útil en el que enmarcar un envejecimiento óptimo es el paradigma del envejecimiento con éxito. Rowe y Kahn (1998) articularon este paradigma proponiendo un modelo con tres características principales: salud física, función cognitiva y estar activo en términos de actividades productivas y relaciones sociales. El objetivo de este trabajo es ofrecer un modelo predictivo del bienestar, tanto hedónico como eudaimónico, empleando para ello el paradigma del envejecimiento con éxito y adicionalmente un componente de espiritualidad. Los resultados más relevantes de este modelo muestran que el apoyo social presentó un impacto relevante y positivo sobre la satisfacción y algo menor sobre el bienestar. La salud física también juega un papel relevante, especialmente al predecir satisfacción. La espiritualidad también tiene un papel protector sobre el bienestar. El porcentaje de varianza explicado de la satisfacción vital fue un 23.3%, y un 10.4% sobre bienestar.

Published: February 2018

Los efectos beneficiosos sobre la salud de la reexperimentación emocional mediante la utilización de la escritura expresiva de vivencias traumáticas están bien establecidos. La efectividad de la utilización de la reexperimentación parece verse afectada por ciertas condiciones. Entre las variables personales que han mostrado tener influencia sobre la recuperación de tales vivencias se ha destacado el optimismo y la alexitimia. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar los efectos de una intervención basada en la reexperimentación emocional sobre la salud mental. Se aplicó un diseño experimental intergrupo pre y posttratamiento. La muestra estuvo compuesta por un total de 60 participantes, de los que 40 llevaron a cabo un procedimiento de reexperimentación emocional mediante tres sesiones de escritura expresiva. El resto formaron el grupo control y escribieron sobre situaciones triviales. Todos fueron evaluados antes y después de la reexperimentación emocional en afecto positivo y negativo, ansiedad, depresión, pensamientos intrusivos y evitación cognitiva. Además, se controló el nivel de optimismo y la alexitimia. Los resultados mostraron la eficacia de la escritura expresiva sobre el afecto positivo y negativo y el nivel de depresión. Entre las covariables, únicamente el optimismo produjo un efecto significativo sobre las variables más emocionales. Se discuten las condiciones contextuales y personales que pueden favorecer el uso clínico de la reexperimentación emocional.

Published: February 2018

En este estudio se pretende poner a prueba un modelo hipotético para profundizar en la dimensionalidad del sentido numérico utilizando la técnica del Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio (AFC). Se ha llevado a cabo un estudio longitudinal con una muestra de 176 alumnos de primer curso de Educación Primaria de las Islas Canarias, a los que se les administró el instrumento Indicadores de Progreso de Aprendizaje en Matemáticas (IPAM) en tres momentos diferentes del curso escolar. El IPAM es un instrumento CBM compuesto por tres medidas alternativas o paralelas (A, B y C) que tratan de medir una misma estructura latente (i.e., sentido numérico). Estas medidas se aplican en tres momentos diferentes a lo largo del año escolar (i.e., noviembre, febrero, mayo). Su principal objetivo es el cribado universal y la evaluación del progreso de aprendizaje en matemáticas del alumnado de educación primaria mediante la evaluación de la fluidez en la resolución de diferentes tareas (i.e., comparación de magnitudes, operaciones de un dígito, operaciones de dos dígitos, series numéricas, y valor de posición). La fluidez es medida contabilizando el número de respuestas correctas que da el alumno en un tiempo dado. Los resultados del AFC confirman un buen ajuste del modelo propuesto para los distintos momentos de medida.

Authors: A.M Salih Haitham , Ammar Hany H
Published: February 2018

The growing complexity of modern software systems makes the performance prediction a challenging activity. Many drawbacks incurred by using the traditional performance prediction techniques such as time consuming and inability to surround all software system when large scaled. To contribute to solving these problems, we adopt a model-based approach for resource utilization and performance risk prediction. Firstly, we model the software system into annotated UML diagrams. Secondly, performance model is derived from UML diagrams in order to be evaluated. Thirdly, we generate performance and resource utilization training dataset by changing workload. Finally, when new instances are applied we can predict resource utilization and performance risk by using machine learning techniques. The approach will be used to enhance work of human experts and improve efficiency of software system performance prediction. In this paper, we illustrate the approach on a case study. A performance training dataset has been generated, and three machine learning techniques are applied to predict resource utilization and performance risk level. Our approach shows prediction accuracy within 68.9 % to 93.1 %.

Published: February 2018

Telemarketing is a type of direct marketing where a salesperson contacts the customers to sell products or services over the phone. The database of prospective customers comes from direct marketing database. It is important for the company to predict the set of customers with highest probability to accept the sales or offer based on their personal characteristics or behavior during shopping. Recently, companies have started to resort to data mining approaches for customer profiling. This project focuses on helping banks to increase the accuracy of their customer profiling through classification as well as identifying a group of customers who have a high probability to subscribe to a long term deposit. In the experiments, three classification algorithms are used, which are NaÃ¯ve Bayes, Random Forest, and Decision Tree. The experiments measured accuracy percentage, precision and recall rates and showed that classification is useful for predicting customer profiles and increasing telemarketing sales.

Semantic web is an addition of the previous one that represents information more significantly for humans and computers. It enables the description of contents and services in machine readable form. It also enables annotating, discovering, publishing, advertising and composing services to be programmed. Semantic web was developed based on Ontology which is measured as the backbone of the semantic web. Machine-readable is transformed to machine-understandable in the current web. Moreover, Ontology provides a common vocabulary, a grammar for publishing data and can provide a semantic description of data which can be used to conserve the Ontology and keep them ready for implication. There are many that used in feature based in semantic similarity. This research presents a single ontology of X-Similarity feature based method.

Authors: Roslan Rose Khairunnisa , Ahmad Azlina
Published: February 2018

Students need good visualisation skills to perform well in the field of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). However, two preliminary studies conducted with six teachers and fifty (50) Year 4 students at a local school showed that most of them are facing difficulties in visualizing 3D objects. From these findings and review of literature, we proposed a conceptual model called 3D Spatial Visual Skills Training (3D SVST) model. The 3D SVST model was applied as a basis to develop an application to improve 3D visualisation skills among elementary school students using a floating image technology known as hologram pyramid. In this paper, we report the findings from evaluation of studentsâ€™ performance in visualisation skills test using 3D SVST application. Fifty (50) Year 4 students from a local school in the state of Selangor participated in the study. Two types of tests were conducted on students; 3D visualisation skills test using paper and 3D visualisation skills test using hologram pyramid. The tests include Paper Folding Task (PFT), Mental Rotating Task (MRT) and Virtual Building Component (VBC). The results show that studentsâ€™ visualisation skills improved when using the hologram pyramid application.Â  The study also found that students performed better in PFT but lower in MRT and VBC. From the findings, we can conclude that hologram pyramid has a positive impact on visualisation skills of students. Therefore, it has the potential to be used in classroom to complement other teaching and learning materials

Published: February 2018

Image processing is known as the process of converting an image into a digital form so as to obtain an enhanced image and to extract useful information from it. This paper presents a simple step by step analysis of edges-based lane detection. Some of the known and common edge detection techniques such as Sobel, Canny, Prewitt and Roberts were studied and evaluated using image segmentation, morphology, image statistic and Hough Transform. The result indicated some similarities in the process as well as major differences. These differences were observed to be as a result of the high sensitivity of the edge detector in detecting noise such as cast shadows and unmarked lanes. This could be noticed in the case of canny edge detector. Also these data could be considered in the development of a multi-system edge detector, which could be used to analyze various road scenes and runs the appropriate edge detector best suited for the current situation.

Authors: Tulab Tali
Published: February 2018

Perkawinan adalah adalah salah satu dari sekian banyak sunah rasul yang sangat penting. Hal ini terbukti dari diturunkannya ayat-ayat muhakamah yang menjelaskan mengenai perkawinan ataupun pernikahan. Prosesi perkawinan sendiri memiliki beberapa syarat dan rukun secara syariat yang terdapat dari pada al-Qur�an dan Hadits. Dari sekian banyak syarat dan rukun perkawinan hal yang menjadi perbedaan pendapat antar ulama adalah mengenai hal wali nikah. Studi ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dalam rangka tercapainya tujuan dari studi ini. Pendapat Ulama Hanafiyah tentang wali nikah lebih sesuai dengan kesetaraan gender. Sebab menurut mereka wali nikah bukanlah syarat sah suatu perkawinan, tetapi sebatas syarat kamal atau kesempurnaan dengan catatan calon suami itu sepadan bagi wanita perwaliannya. Dalam pandangan demikian ini calon suami dan calon istri sebagai rukun utama (para pihak) yang akan mengikatkan diri dalam suatu perikatan yang agung dan sakral yaitu perkawinan dalam keadaan setara. Keduanya sebagai orang-orang yang dewasa dan berakal (berkecerdasan atau rusyd) adalah memiliki ahliyatul wujub (penerima hak) dan ahliyatul ada� (cakap melakukan perbuatan hukum) sekaligus. Karena itu selama tidak ada halangan mereka berhak melakukan sendiri atau langsung akad nikah tanpa harus mendelegasikan pada orang lain, termasuk orang tua atau kerabat yang lain, termasuk orang tua atau kerabat yang lain.

Content-based image search can use Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR). CBIR works by measuring the similarity of query images with all the images in the database so that the query cost is directly proportional to the number of images in the database. Limiting the range of image search by way of classification is one way to reduce the query cost on CBIR. Application of K-Nearest Neighbor method aims to classify the image as well as to measure the level of accuracy and time of classification. In this study built a software that can extract the color and texture features of an image by using the Color Histogram method and the Edge Histogram Descriptor. The results of the feature extraction process are then used by the software in the learning process and classification by the K-Nearest Neighbor method. The software is built with structured analysis and design methods then implemented using VB.net programming language The final result of classification is then tested with parameter level accuracy and classification time. The test results show that the combination of color and texture features provides a higher level of accuracy than classification based on features and textures but requires longer classification time.

The Quest for a Realistic Four-dimensional Cosmology
Authors: Neupane Ishwaree P
Published: February 2018

The existence of a small and positive cosmological constant attributed to gravitational vacuum energy (or dark energy) in the present-day universe appears to be the most pressing obstacle as well as opportunity to significantly improving the models of four-dimensional cosmology from fundamental theories of gravity, including string theory and modern Kaluza-Klein theories. In seeking to resolve this problem, one naturally wonders if the real world can somehow be interpreted as an inflating de Sitter "brane" embedded in a five or even higher-dimensional space-time described by warped or non-factorizable geometry. In this scenario, the four-dimensional cosmological constant may well be determined in terms of two length scales: one is a scale associated with the size of extra dimensions and the other is a scale associated with the expansion rate of the universe, which is also related to the warping of extra spaces.Key words: CosmologyThe Himalayan Physics Vol.1, No.1, May, 2010Page: 18-24Uploaded Date: 28 July, 2011

Theory of Shadow
Authors: K.C. Prabin
Published: February 2018

Generally, the opposite nature of brightness is supposed to be darkness i.e. shadow. For the formation of shadow, source of light; object and screen are required. We can see forming shadow, but we can not see the some rules of nature that governs the shadow. As for example- F=MA, This is the famous equation from the Newton's second law of motion. It shows the relationship among applied force F, mass of body M and acceleration produced on body A. This even helps to formulate the much famous equation E=MC². In the same way, 'Theory of shadow' also shows the relationship among the different factors. From the close observation, when the symmetrical point source is taken, object distance; area of object and shadow distance are interrelated to the nature and size of shadow. 'Theory of Shadow' focuses on how these different factors are interconnected, how do they rule the formation of shadow and finally give the whole conclusion in the beauty of equation. For this work, experimental; mathematical and geometrical procedures are being applied while in each and every trial, The 'Theory of Shadow' is found to be exactly proved.Key words: Point source; Area of object; Object distance; Area of shadow; Shadow distanceThe Himalayan PhysicsVol.1, No.1, May, 2010Page: 101-105Uploaded Date: 29 July, 2011

Identification of risk factors for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is important for both diagnostic and prognostic purposes. Among the platelet parameters- mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW) are thought to be risk factors of ACS. This quasi- experimental study was conducted from September 2011 to August 2012 in the Department of Clinical Pathology, in collaboration with Departments of Cardiology, Bangbandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka and Bangladesh Institute of Research and Rehabilitation in Diabetes, Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders (BIRDEM) . It was enrolled 79 patients with ACS, diagnosed based on clinical history, electrocardiographic changes and increased cardiac markers especially troponin I, and 63 subjects were enrolled as control. For determination of platelet parameters, the blood samples were obtained from all patients of ACS before anti-platelet therapy when patient attended in the cardiac emergency and after 5th day of ongoing anti-platelet therapy; and from control group on the 1st day and 5th day at outpatient department. The blood samples were taken properly and processed in haematology autoanalyser. In this study, the baseline characteristics of study patients were measured. Platelet counts were 273.1±50.15 x 109/L in patients with ACS and 290.78±74.86 x 109/L in control subjects in 1st sample and 284.56±41.93 x 109/L in patients with ACS in 2nd sample. In 1st samples, platelet counts were slightly low in patients with ACS compared to controls and 2nd samples. There were no statistical significant differences between the groups and the samples. MPV was 12.48±1.17 fl and 10.45±0.66 fl in patients with ACS and controls and 11.55±1.08 fl in 2nd sample in ACS cases. PDW was 16.23±2.56 fl, 11.89±1.42 fl and 14.29±2.11 fl in patients with ACS, controls and 2nd sample of ACS cases respectively. Both MPV and PDW were statistically significant between the groups and the samples (p<0.001). The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of platelet parameters of ACS cases were obtained from ROC curve and compared with controls. The best cut off value of platelet count, MPV and PDW were >225 x 109/L, > 10.7 fl and >12.7 fl respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive and negative predictive value of platelet counts, MPV and PDW were 83%, 28.1%, 42.3%, 37.6%, 64%; 90.6%, 49.4%, 64.8%, 51.6%, 89.8%; and 94.3%,52.8%, 69%,54.9%, 94.1% respectively. The study showed that PDW had higher sensitivity and specificity in contrast to MPV. Platelet parameters were increased in patients with ACS before anti-platelet therapy and gradually decreased after anti-platelet therapy. These two markers may used as predictor for early detection of ACS and risk stratification, when other cardiac biomarkers are negative.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a frequent cause of congenital infection in humans in all regions of the world. In contrast to most congenital viral infections, congenital CMV infection and disease have been consistently demonstrated in populations with a high seroprevalence. Three hundred pregnant women were studied prospectively in their 1st, 2nd and 3rd trimester to determine the seroprevalence and seroconversion of CMV in pregnancy. After birth, babies were also tested for anti CMV IgM to determine the rate of birth prevalence. Anti CMV IgG and IgM tests were performed by chemiluminescence methods. All 300 (100%) pregnant women were anti CMV IgG positive and 180 (60%) were subsequently anti CMV IgM positive during different trimesters of pregnancy. Birth prevalence of CMV IgM antibody was 1.3% among babies of anti CMV IgM positive mothers whereas none in CMV IgM negative mothers (OR 1.01, 95% CI .996-1.027).It may be concluded that CMV IgG seroprevalence is high among Bangladeshi pregnant women and the rate of CMV reactivation is also high during pregnancy. Despite protection by maternal immunity a certain percent of babies acquire congenital CMV infection.
