Detecting Mistakes in CPR Training with Multimodal Data and Neural Networks
Authors: Di Mitri Daniele , Schneider Jan , Specht Marcus , Drachsler Hendrik
Published: July 2019

This study investigated to what extent multimodal data can be used to detect mistakes during Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) training. We complemented the Laerdal QCPR ResusciAnne manikin with the Multimodal Tutor for CPR, a multi-sensor system consisting of a Microsoft Kinect for tracking body position and a Myo armband for collecting electromyogram information. We collected multimodal data from 11 medical students, each of them performing two sessions of two-minute chest compressions (CCs). We gathered in total 5254 CCs that were all labelled according to five performance indicators, corresponding to common CPR training mistakes. Three out of five indicators, CC rate, CC depth and CC release, were assessed automatically by the ReusciAnne manikin. The remaining two, related to arms and body position, were annotated manually by the research team. We trained five neural networks for classifying each of the five indicators. The results of the experiment show that multimodal data can provide accurate mistake detection as compared to the ResusciAnne manikin baseline. We also show that the Multimodal Tutor for CPR can detect additional CPR training mistakes such as the correct use of arms and body weight. Thus far, these mistakes were identified only by human instructors. Finally, to investigate user feedback in the future implementations of the Multimodal Tutor for CPR, we conducted a questionnaire to collect valuable feedback aspects of CPR training.

Published: July 2019

In recent years, wearable monitoring devices have been very popular in the health care field and are being used to avoid sport injuries during exercise. They are usually worn on the wrist, the same as sport watches, or on the chest, like an electrocardiogram patch. Common functions of these wearable devices are that they use real time to display the state of health of the body, and they are all small sized. The electromyogram (EMG) signal is usually used to show muscle activity. Thus, the EMG signal could be used to determine the muscle-fatigue conditions. In this study, the goal is to develop an EMG patch which could be worn on the lower leg, the gastrocnemius muscle, to detect real-time muscle fatigue while exercising. A micro controller unit (MCU) in the EMG patch is part of an ARM Cortex-M4 processor, which is used to measure the median frequency (MF) of an EMG signal in real time. When the muscle starts showing tiredness, the median frequency will shift to a low frequency. In order to delete the noise of the isotonic EMG signal, the EMG patch has to run the empirical mode decomposition algorithm. A two-electrode circuit was designed to measure the EMG signal. The maximum power consumption of the EMG patch was about 39.5 mAh. In order to verify that the real-time MF values measured by the EMG patch were close to the off-line MF values measured by the computer system, we used the root-mean-square value to estimate the difference in the real-time MF values and the off-line MF values. There were 20 participants that rode an exercise bicycle at different speeds. Their EMG signals were recorded with an EMG patch and a physiological measurement system at the same time. Every participant rode the exercise bicycle twice. The averaged root-mean-square values were 2.86 ± 0.86 Hz and 2.56 ± 0.47 Hz for the first and second time, respectively. Moreover, we also developed an application program implemented on a smart phone to display the participants’ muscle-fatigue conditions and information while exercising. Therefore, the EMG patch designed in this study could monitor the muscle-fatigue conditions to avoid sport injuries while exercising.
Mobile Phone Usage Detection by ANN Trained with a Metaheuristic Algorithm †
Authors: Mendez Efrain , Ortiz Alexandro , Ponce Pedro , Acosta Juan , Molina Arturo
Published: July 2019

Artificial neural networks (ANN) are widely used to classify high non-linear systems by using a set of input/output data. Moreover, they are trained using several optimization methodologies and this paper presents a novel algorithm for training ANN through an earthquake optimization method. Usually, gradient optimization method is implemented for the training process, with perhaps the large number of iterations leading to slow convergence, and not always achieving the optimal solution. Since metaheuristic optimization methods deal with searching for weight values in a broad optimization space, the training computational effort is reduced and ensures an optimal solution. This work shows an efficient training process that is a suitable solution for detection of mobile phone usage while driving. The main advantage of training ANN using the Earthquake Algorithm (EA) lies in its versatility to search in a fine or aggressive way, which extends its field of application. Additionally, a basic example of a linear classification is illustrated using the proposal-training method, so the number of applications could be expanded to nano-sensors, such as reversible logic circuit synthesis in which a genetic algorithm had been implemented. The fine search is important for the studied logic gate emulation due to the small searching areas for the linear separation, also demonstrating the convergence capabilities of the algorithm. Experimental results validate the proposed method for smart mobile phone applications that also can be applied for optimization applications.

Published: July 2019

It is important to discover novel antimalarial pharmacophores because of the widespread emergence of Plasmodium falciparum isolates resistant to the available drugs. Secondary metabolites derived from microbes associated with marine invertebrates are a valuable resource for the discovery of novel drug leads. However, the potential of marine microbes as a source of antimalarials has not been explored. We investigated the promise of marine microorganisms for the production of antimalarial activities by testing 2365 diverse microbial extracts using phenotypic screening of a multidrug resistant chloroquine resistant P. falciparum strain. We conducted counter screening against mammalian cells for the 317 active extracts that exhibited more than 70% inhibition at 1 µg/mL. The screen identified 17 potent bioactive leads from a broad range of taxa. Our results establish that the marine microbiome is a rich source of antiplasmodial compounds that warrants in depth exploration.
Zika Vaccine Development—Current Progress and Challenges for the Future
Authors: Maslow Joel N.
Published: July 2019

Zika virus is an emergent pathogen that gained significant importance during the epidemic in South and Central America as unusual and alarming complications of infection were recognized. Although initially considered a self-limited benign infection, a panoply of neurologic complications were recognized including a Guillain–Barré-like syndrome and in-utero fetal infection causing microcephaly, blindness, and other congenital neurologic complications. Numerous Zika virus vaccines were developed, with nine different vaccines representing five different platforms entered into clinical trials, one progressing to Phase II. Here we review the current landscape and challenges confronting Zika virus vaccine development.
Arboretum et dendroécologie : dépérissement du cèdre
Authors: Niederlender Laura , Badeau Vincent
Published: July 2019

The dendroecological analysis of cedars (Cedrus atlantica, Cedrus libani, Cedrus deodara) standing in the Domain of Barres and in the Arboretum of Amance made it possible to redraw the radial growth evolution of trees according to the climate and to understand the mechanisms of decay. The first visible signs of decay were noticed in 2007. The study highlights the major role of the exceptional drought in 2003, which seems to be the triggering factor of the decay process. We also noticed that once weakened, trees had to face a strong biotic stress with an attack of fir's scolytes (Pityokteines spiniden), since numerous bites were listed on the studied trees.
Reconstruction des températures estivales dans les alpes françaises au moyen de données dendrochronologiques (749-2008 AD)

Published: July 2019

To date, in the Alps, only three reconstructions extend back prior to 1000 AD. This lack is related to the scarcity of wood material in the western and southern parts of the Alps, especially during the early part of the last millennium. On the basis of a dense tree-ring width network (34 unpublished multi centennial larch chronologies), this paper attempts, for the first time, a reconstruction of the summer temperatures over the French Alps. This network combine 548 tree-ring width series from living trees, dead trees and construction wood. All sites sampled are located near tree-line in high-altitude forest stands. The Adaptative Regional Growth Curve standardization method was applied to preserve interannual to multicentennial variations in this high-elevation proxy data-set. The proxies are calibrated using the June to August mean temperatures from the last revised version of the HISTALP database. The method combines an analogue technique, which is able to extend the too short tree-ring series, an artificial neural network technique for an optimal non-linear calibration including a bootstrap technique for calculating error assessment on the reconstruction. About 50% of the temperature variance is reconstructed. The proxy record evidences a prolonged Medieval Warm Period persisting until 1500 with warm periods that resemble twentieth century conditions but also cold phases before 1000 synchronous to the Swiss glacier advances. The Little Ice Age is rather mild until 1660 if compared to other alpine reconstructions. Then, summers are 0. 7°C cooler than the 1961—1990 mean until 1920.
Étude de la relation entre la croissance du Pin cembro et le climat dans les Alpes Françaises depuis 500 ans
Authors: Saulnier Melanie , Edouard Jean-Louis , Corona Christophe , Guibal Frédéric
Published: July 2019

Les relations entre la croissance radiale du Pin cembro et le climat ont été étudiées sur 42 populations réparties le long d'un gradient latitudinal dans les Alpes françaises. Les deux méthodes complémentaires utilisées dans cette étude (années caractéristiques et fonctions de réponse) portent sur les variations de croissance de haute et de très haute fréquence. Les données climatiques intégrées se composent d'archives historiques et des données de la base HISTALP. Les résultats mettent en évidence une relation positive de la croissance radiale avec les températures estivales et les précipitations hivernales. L'étude révèle aussi l 'importance du gradient latitudinal dans la variation spatiale de la réponse des arbres au climat. Les populations les plus septentrionales apparaissent plus thermo-dépendantes tandis que les populations méridionales seraient plus pluvio-dépendantes. Cette différence s'explique probablement par l'action de masses d'air océaniques, continentales et méditerranéennes. De plus, une tendance à l'homogénéisation spatiale de la relation cerne-climat apparaît depuis la fin du XIXe siècle. Enfin, la complexité de la relation entre la croissance radiale du Pin cembro et le climat, révélée par cette étude, remet en question l 'utilisation de cette espèce dans les reconstructions et modélisations climatiques.

Published: July 2019

El presente artículo de reflexión, busca hacer una hermenéusis desde la perspectiva crítica – sistémica sobre el hacer investigativo con el propósito de plantear una regeneración social venezolana desde la visión decoloniar. La perspectiva filosófica tradicional de hacer ciencia e investigación en los ámbitos educativos universitarios, conserva procedimientos, enfoques y dinámicas que requieren ser trascendidos para poder aportar a la referida refundación patria, en la que son necesarios fundamentos epistemológicos, axiológicos, metodológicos y teleológicos propios, devenidos de nuestro hacer científico vivencial, en correspondencia con las particularidades de nuestra cultura, las necesidades que nos aquejen y el contexto ecosistémico del territorio donde vivimos, en perspectiva con la situación del planeta y la humanidad como totalidad, es decir, necesitamos nuestro propio lenguaje epocal. La metódica crítica – sistémica, partiendo de la investigación – acción colaborativa como método consolidado y aceptado universalmente, tiene su raíz histórica – científica en el método practicado por Carlos Marx y Federico Engels a lo largo de su magnánima obra. Marx (1962:53-54) explicita su metodología estructurándola en tres (03) dimensiones fundamentales en las cuales primero descompone la realidad problémica estudiada en perspectivas separadas para analizarlas crítica y profundamente. Luego las recomprende y presenta en el todo interconectado donde fueron abordadas, para posteriormente iluminar las relaciones entre las perspectivas y las partes de ese todo, desnudándolo, desmenuzándolo, comprendiéndolo, explicitándolo, para que pueda ser superado.

Luego de aplicar el instrumento se concluye que si no se maneja una gerencia que motive e impulse otras formas de ver la educación, simplemente se seguirá en solitario educando a un grupo de estudiantes donde sus aprendizajes no serán cónsonos con lo que se exige desde la comunidad y la familia. La alianza estratégica entre familia, escuela y comunidad debe iniciarse en la gerente a través de un liderazgo transformacional que permita una intervención e integración para beneficio de todos, especialmente cuando se hace referencia a un medio rural, donde la atención de todos es primordial.
An Investigation of the Effectiveness of Financial Development in Pakistan
Authors: Tahir Muhammad
Published: July 2019

This study attempts to discern the relationship between economic and financial development in Pakistan for the period 1973 - 2006. Vector error-correction modeling is used to identify the causality between economic and financial development and the exogeneity of the variable(s) in the model. These error correction terms have been derived from Johansen’s multivariate cointegrating procedure. Results indicate that, in the long run, economic development causes financial development. Furthermore, the real output variable is found to be exogenous. Thus, financial development is seen to be ineffective in terms of economic development determination in Pakistan.
Export-Led Growth Hypothesis in Pakistan: A Reinvestigation
Using the Bounds Test
Authors: Siddiqui Saima , Zehra Sameena , Majeed Sadia , Sabihuddin Butt Muhammad
Published: July 2019

Trade is presumed to act as a catalyst to economic growth. This
paper reinvestigates the export-led growth hypothesis in Pakistan by using
annual time series data on exports, imports, terms of trade, and the labor
force participation rate as explanatory variables and gross domestic
product (GDP) as the dependent variable for the period 1971-2005. The
study uses the more comprehensive and recent bounds test or autoregressive
distributed lag model (ARDL) proposed by Pesaran et al (2001) to examine
the existence of short-run and long-run relationships between exports and
economic growth, which is crucial in designing policy to enhance traderelated
potential in Pakistan. The results indicate that exports, labor force,
and imports have a positive effect on growth, while the terms of trade has
a negative effect. The proxy for trade liberalization has a positive impact
on economic growth. Finally, the chief finding of this study is that the
hypothesis of export-led growth in the Pakistan economy is supported in
both the short and long run. Economic growth in Pakistan is accompanied
by fluctuations in exports and imports both in the short and long run, but
the labor force participation rate has a negative effect only in the short
run. The terms of trade has the same effect in the short and long run.
The Geography of Poverty: Evidence from the Punjab
Authors: Cheema Ali , Khalid Lyyla , Patnam Manasa
Published: July 2019

The article is the first comprehensive attempt at estimating the
variation in the incidence, intensity and severity of poverty in the Punjab
at the level of sub-provincial regions and districts. This estimation has
been made possible because of the availability of the Multiple Indicators
Cluster Survey (2003-04), which has a sample that is representative at the
district-level. Estimates suggest the existence of a high poverty enclave in
the south and the west regions of the Punjab. The incidence and severity of
poverty in a majority of districts in this enclave, with a few exceptions, is
extremely high with one out of every two households being poor on average.
The high levels of poverty in this enclave contrast with the relatively low
poverty in the more urbanized north, where households are well integrated
into the national and international labor market. The paper also argues
that there is tremendous variation in the poverty experience of the districts
in the centre. Poverty incidence in the more urbanized and industrialized
northern districts of the centre contrasts sharply with the experience of
Kasur, Okara and Pakpattan, where the incidence and severity of poverty
is extremely high. Finally, we find that in nine districts rural households
do much worse in terms of poverty incidence than their urban
counterparts.
Pakistan’s Macroeconomic Situation
Authors: Sherani Sakib
Published: July 2019

As a result of policy inaction in addressing structural issues over a
protracted period and a wrong set of economic priorities followed over the
past several years, Pakistan’s economy faces a grave set of challenges.
Among the many issues, which range from high inflation to power deficits
and water stress, the most immediate and pressing is the need to restore
fiscal order. While pressure on the coalition government to reduce the
economic hardship of the electorate is understandably intense, the policy
response needs to balance the alleviation of palpable hardship in the short
term, with the ability to provide sustained benefits over the longer term.
Given the sharp constriction in available fiscal space, adopting a policy
course in the short run that raises expectations of “relief” may not be wise,
in either political or economic terms. In the longer term, however, it is a
misconception to view the available choices in purely binary terms, i.e.
that “macroeconomic stability” (a much-maligned term, loath to politicians
not just in Pakistan) is mutually exclusive to “pro-poor” agendas. Raising
revenues by broadening the tax base meaningfully, in conjunction with
rationalizing bloated government/public sector expenditures can free fiscal
resources, which can be diverted to targeted subsidy programs. Ignoring
macroeconomic stability, on the other hand, will eventually also undermine
the ability of the government to influence economic growth, as growing
fiscal and monetary constraints limit its ability to run appropriate policies.
An Exploratory Analysis of Inflation Episodes in Pakistan
Authors: Riazuddin Riaz
Published: July 2019

This paper explores the past 50 years of data on inflation, growth
rates of money and real GDP. It is found that inflation is primarily a
monetary phenomena; however, the quantity theory of money does not
hold in Pakistan below money supply growth rates of 9 percent. A simple
monetary rule is also derived by inspecting the maximum probabilities of
keeping inflation low (at most 6 percent); this rule is simply to keep
money growth rates below 12 percent. This paper also finds that food
inflation too is a monetary phenomena and there is no trade-off between
inflation and growth, which are independent in the sense of probability
measures. The findings are confirmed by the application of Fisher’s Exact
Test. The policy implication is that monetary policy should be pursued
independently of growth policies of government.
External Shocks in a Small Open Economy: A CGE -
Microsimulation Analysis
Authors: Ahmed Vaqar , O’Donoghue Cathal
Published: July 2019

This paper studies the impact of changes in the external balance of
Pakistan. We explain why the economic growth achieved during the past
decade was highly dependent on improvements in the external balance.
Between 2001 and 2007, Pakistan benefited from an increase in
remittances, foreign assistance from bilateral and multilateral sources, and
a relatively stable exchange rate. After 2007, this performance came under
pressure from external price shocks. The rise in the import prices of
petroleum, raw materials and other manufactured goods has the potential
to reduce the country’s growth performance, impacting the competitiveness
of the economy and threatening the gains achieved during past years. We
integrate a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model with a
microsimulation model to study the effects of changes in foreign savings
and import prices faced by Pakistan. An increase in foreign savings leads
to an increase in imports and a decrease in exports. The main sectors
facing a decline in exports are textiles, leather, cement, and livestock. In
this simulation food and oil prices decline and the factors of production
that gain are agricultural wage labor and nonagricultural unskilled wage
labor. The increase in import prices of petroleum or industrial raw
material leads to a reduction in exports. In this simulation the crop sector
is negatively impacted and returns to land and profits to farm owners
increase, showing a change in favor of agricultural asset owners, while
poverty and inequality increase.
Evaluation of Rice Markets Integration in Bangladesh
Authors: Ismail Hossain Mohammad , Verbeke Wim
Published: July 2019

The liberalization of the agricultural sector in general and the rice
subsector in particular has been a major component of Bangladesh’s structural
adjustment program initiated in 1992. However, the government has continued
to intervene in the rice subsector. This paper examines whether the
regional/divisional rice markets have become spatially integrated following the
liberalization of the rice market. Wholesale weekly coarse rice prices at six
divisional levels over the period of January 2004 to November 2006 were used to
test the degree of market integration in Bangladesh using co-integration analysis
and a vector error correction model (VECM). The Johansen co-integration test
indicated that there are at least three co-integrating vectors implying that rice
markets in Bangladesh during the study period are moderately linked together
and therefore the long-run equilibrium is stable. The short-run market
integration as measured by the magnitude of market interdependence and the
speed of price transmission between the divisional markets has been weak.
The Impact of Socioeconomic and Demographic Variables
on Poverty: A Village Study
Authors: Sharif Chaudhry Imran , Malik Shahnawaz , Abo ul Hassan Abo ul Hassan
Published: July 2019

Poverty is a complex phenomenon based on a network of
interlocking economic, social, political, and demographic factors. An
understanding of the extent, nature, and determinants of rural poverty is a
precondition for effective public policy to reduce poverty in rural Pakistan.
The present study attempts to analyze the impact of socioeconomic and
demographic characteristics of households on poverty, using primary data
collected in the village of Betti Nala in Tehsil Jatoi, district Muzaffargarh
in southern Punjab. We have used two distinct approaches: (i) a poverty
profile, and (ii) an econometric approach in our empirical analysis. The
results show that household size, dependency on household, participation,
landholdings, and number of livestock have a significant impact on poverty
incidence. Our final conclusion is that efforts should be made to improve
socioeconomic factors in general and demographic factors in particular to
alleviate rural poverty in remote areas of Pakistan, while land should be
allotted to landless households.
ORE CONTROL OF KHIZOVAARA STRUCTURE DEPOSITS
Authors: Nikiforov Alexander
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Ore-controlling factors determine the patterns of formation and localization of mineralization within ore regions and deposits. The need for this study arises from the importance of integrated assessment of mineral resources and improvement of metasomatic formation techniques. This is especially important for  geological materials which are mined for their direct commercial value (industrial materials). This article is devoted to the study of the ore control of complex industrial minerals. The Khizovaara structure belongs to the Tikshozero greenstone belt. Within the structure, a multistage metamorphism and metasomatism processes are manifested. The totality of lithological, structural and petrologic ore control factors determines the existence within the structure of several deposits. These are deposits of industrial minerals, such as garnet, quartz, muscovite, kyanite, staurolite. In almost all cases, the ores are complex. The following objects were studied: Southern Lens (kyanite + quartz) deposit, Northern lens (kyanite + quartz) deposit, East Khizovaara (muscovite + quartz) deposit, Vysota-181 (garnet + staurolite + kyanite + muscovite + quartz) deposit, ore occurence Fuxit (decorative rocks). For the ores of each site, the processes of regional metamorphism of the amphibolite facies of kyanite-biotite and muscovite-chlorite-kyanite subfacies are important. Metamorphism, tectonic regime and geological connection with rocks  has been studied as a ore control factor, based on this, data on the quantitative distribution of industrial minerals of metamorphic genesis have been obtained. Acidic and alkaline metasomatites of each site are considered. On the basis of these data, metasomatic processes that lead to the formation of complex ores are revealed. The process of superposition of metasomatosis products of the late stage on the products of early stage metasomatosis was studied. This process leads to the formation of complex ores of three or four minerals. The result of the work is a general scheme of metamorphic and metasomatic ores control
BIM AND BUILDING CONSTRUCTION DESIGN IN GLOBAL SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE
Authors: Fulop Susanna
Published: July 2019

Computer Aided Design (CAD) is the reality of today’s architecture. Building Information Modelling (BIM) technique is a great opportunity for communication and data management in virtual space. BIM cloud-based collaboration provides up-to-date information, where project data is at the centre of the process and delivered to the point of the work, makes building workflows more efficient and effective, especially combined with the representational, analytic, and reality capture capabilities. The powerful computer hardware and software can store, transmit and evaluate huge amount of information, but this virtual universe sometimes seems to be too much and too complicated for architects, engineers and contractors (AEC) as single individuals.

Widespread awareness of climate change, pollution, depletion of natural resources and huge amount of technical opportunities on global market have triggered professional demands for architects, in sustainable design. Adaptation is a crucial factor in sustainable architecture. Adequacy of decisions depends on the data applied. Systematization of all relevant information, aspects and tools from the very first design step is a crucial part of contemporary architecture.

Building design and construction use significant quantities of natural resources and materials and the products we select affect the quality of the spaces we inhabit. Careful consideration of environment and construction parameters from the earliest stage of the design process can have an enormous impact on reducing subsequent operating costs, protecting the nature and our health.

Sustainability in architectural design can be more effective based on a newly developing BIM managed integrated multilevel complex approach and database. It should consist of construction and material parameters, requirements and their qualification fitted to the design steps and systemized according to the performance based evaluation and building anatomy.
