Authors: Pedrazzi Simone , Morini Enrico , Nasti Marika , Pizzileo Simone , Muscio Alberto , Tartarini Paolo
Published: August 2021

The future is moving towards an energy system different from the current one: highly efficient, renewable and immediate. For this reason, it is necessary to promote innovative technologies to pursue the development of a green economy connected to the environmental sustainability and the reduction of food waste. This study lays the basis of a different approach on the interaction between solar production and bio enhancement of organic residual flows of a fruit and vegetable market in Southern Italy. The proposed method consists in the installation of a photovoltaic system to cover the energy needs, including the electricity demand for the use of forklifts. This innovation is linked to the sustainable management of residual agri-food waste that, properly treated, allows the production of a soil improver usable in the early stages of the product life cycle. Therefore, the optimization of the entire agri-food chain permits the achievement of the requirements needed to obtain important environmental labels, signs of transparency and safety for the market products.  The results emerged from an economic analysis justify the investment for the realization of the system: the optimal exploitation of the renewable source allows an annual profit which drastically reduces the payback periods of the investment.

Published: August 2021

Nowadays about 20% of the worldwide energy consumption is attributable to refrigeration that is almost entirely based on vapor compression refrigeration. The elastocaloric refrigeration is being considered in the recent years as one of the most promising alternatives to vapour compression cooling technology. It is based on the latent heat associated with the transformation process of the martensitic phase, found in Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) when they are subjected to uniaxial stress cycles of loading and unloading. SMAs are characterized by the mechanical property of being able to return to the initial form once the uniaxial stress has been removed. Currently the prototypes of elastocaloric cooler developed in the world are less than ten units and they are not close to the industrialization and commercialization, yet. This contribution presents the design processes and the steps of development of the first Italian elastocaloric device: SSUSTAIN-EL. This research involves part of a bigger Italian project, called SUSSTAINEBLE, that involves three research institutes: University of Naples Federico II, University of Genoa and the National Research Council. The aim of research group is the developing of a demonstrative prototype of a continuously elastocaloric cooler, which can represent a fundamental step as "proof of concept".

Published: August 2021

The objective of this paper is to explain the design steps and performance analysis of a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned air vehicle (UAV) based on a Pilatus B4 glider scale model. Energy consumption, forces and thrust analyses are carry out to determinate the perfect match between low take-off weight and high aerodynamic performance. As a first approach a complete analysis of glider aerodynamic performances are settle to understand and design a proper support for VTOL conversion. Longitudinal static stability is fulfilled by evaluating the center of gravity location with respect to neutral position, nevertheless dynamic stability, and V-n diagram in VTOL configuration are evaluated to guarantee a correct behavior during fixed wing flight mode. In addition, power requirements, motor thrust capability and tilt-motors servo assisted system performance are determinate in perspective of flight performance to find out the perfect transition from multirotor take-off and landing mode to fixed-wing flying state. For these purposes a test bench has being designed to evaluate thrust, electrical absorption and rpm motor behavior along the throttle range. Finally, the assembly and preliminary tests are performed in order to validate the VTOL and Forward flight capability.
The Relationship between Menstrual Pattern and Menstrual Attitude Dimensions in Reproductive-age Women
Authors: Larki Mona , Salavati Azadeh , Azmoude Elham
Published: August 2021

Objective: Women's attitudes towards menstruation play a critical role in shaping their body and psychosocial integrity. Menstruation is affected by some bio-psychosocial factors; therefore, more in-depth understanding is needed to cope better with the consequent difficulties. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between menstrual patterns and menstrual attitude dimensions in reproductive-age women. Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted on 170 women referred to the urban health centers of Torbat Heydariyeh, Iran, from January 2019 to December 2019.  The Menstrual Attitudes Questionnaire (MAQ) and Verbal Multidimensional Scoring (VMS) systems were used to collect the required data. The features of the menstrual cycle were also recorded. Results: The overall response rate was 96.74%. Women with dysmenorrhea perceived menstruation as a more debilitating, bothersome, and predictable event and less denied any menstrual effect (p=0.001). The results also revealed that the subjective menstrual blood loss was associated with higher levels of perceiving menstruation as a natural (p=0.008), bothersome (p=0.026), and anticipatory event (p=0.021) and reporting less denial of any menstrual effect (p=0.001). Moreover, women rated menstruation as a more bothersome event by increasing the menstrual bleeding length (p=0.014). There was no significant relationship between the other features of the menstrual cycle with menstrual dimensions (p>0.05). Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that women's attitudes towards menstruation was associated with menstrual pain, length, and subjective volume of menstrual flow.  These factors could be used to modify women's attitudes towards the natural phenomenon of menstruation.

Authors: Hasan Kawa M , Elmeshhadany Ahmed Y , Shabila Nazar P
Published: August 2021

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ruxolitinib and compare it with the best available therapy in patients with primary myelofibrosis. Ruxolitinib is a Janus kinase inhibitor that is approved for the treatment of myelofibrosis. The therapeutic protocol has changed after the introduction of ruxolitinib. Methods: In this retrospective study, 72 patients with primary myelofibrosis were scrutinised from January 2012 to January 2018 at Nanakali Hemato-Oncology Teaching Centre in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan. The patients were divided into two cohorts: 26 of them were treated with ruxolitinib and 46 received the best available therapy. The patients’ characteristics, their response to the treatment and the outcomes were evaluated. The efficacy of the treatment in both groups was compared. Results: Most patients (n = 46; 63.9%) were in the high and intermediate-2 risk groups according to the international prognostic scoring system. At the time of diagnosis, no noticeable differences in the clinical characteristics and laboratory data were observed among the ruxolitinib and best available treatment groups. Ruxolitinib was found to be effective in reducing the size of the spleen and improving the overall survival rate when compared to the best available treatment group (P <0.001 and P = 0.008, respectively). The patients’ performance status had a significant effect on the overall survival in both treatment groups (P = 0.003). Conclusion: Ruxolitinib appears to have a significant role in reducing the spleen size and potentially affect the survival outcomes in patients with myelofibrosis.

Published: August 2021

Objective: To explore undergraduate nursing students’ perception and attitude toward the OSCE. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted between April-May 2020, among undergraduate nursing students in the College of Nursing at Sultan Qaboos University. Two self-administered questionnaires were employed to obtain data on students’ perception and attitude toward OSCE. Students’ feedback on OSCE was collected using open-ended questions about OSCE strengths, weakness, and recommendation for improvement. Surveys responses were based on a 5-point ordinal scale ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. Students’ Feedback on OSCE was analyzed as descriptive data by identifying the common themes and categorize them in groups. Results: A total of 160 students completed the study questionnaires. Most agreed that OSCE atmosphere is not good (66.3%) and it shouldn’t be the only mode of practical Examination (40.6%). Also, 64.4% of the students felt that timing allocated to complete the skills was not adequate. The data shows that 33.1% of the examinees felt that OSCE examination is more stressful than clinical examination. In addition, few students supported that OSCE has improved their communication skills and it increased their confidence level to perform nursing skills. Conclusion: The findings of this study appear alarming in regard to students’ perception about the overall process and the validity of OSCE examination as an assessment method. Nursing educators need to consider further evaluation and improvement of the OSCE in order to improve students’ acceptance and appreciation of OSCE as an important form of clinical learning and as an assessment method.

Can Medical Students Evaluate Medical Websites?
Authors: Loda Teresa , Masters Ken , Zipfel Stephan , Herrmann-Werner Anne
Published: August 2021

Objectives: This study aimed to discover the extent to which medical students can evaluate medical websites, evaluation criteria used, factors affecting their abilities and whether a teaching intervention could rectify problems. Medical students and practitioners are required to evaluate medical information available on the Internet. Most current medical students are familiar with the Internet, but their ability to evaluate material may require improvement. Methods: A class of undergraduate medical students evaluated an unreliable medical website, received a teaching intervention on website evaluation criteria and re-evaluated the same site. This mixed-methods study was conducted at Sultan Qaboos University, Muscat, Oman, from September to December 2018. Results: A total of 149 (response rate: 82.3%) students participated. Students spent, on average, 4.69 hours per day on the Internet. No significant correlations were found between demographic indicators and Internet time. On a 10-point Likert scale, students’ scores ranged from 5–6, with no significant differences between the pre- and post-intervention evaluations, except for increased polarisation away from the mean. Qualitative comments indicated an awareness of relevant criteria but an overall inability to critically apply them. Conclusion: The results indicate that one cannot make a blanket statement about medical students’ ability to evaluate medical websites despite their familiarity with technology. Moreover, website evaluation should be viewed primarily from the information perspective and that critical thinking ability may play a major role. Due to these overriding factors, short interventions are unlikely to have an impact, and other educational strategies should be developed. These are necessary to ensure that medical students can function independently as life-long learners and medical professionals.

Authors: BUDAK Esranur , ÜNLÜ Caner
Published: August 2021

Boron nitride quantum dots (BNQDs) are of high interest with their excellent photophsiycal and structural characteristics. BNQDs can be synthesized through hydrothermal synthesis methods with different nitrogen precursors, however, until now the optical properties of BNQDS synthesized with different nitrogen precursors have not been compared in details yet. In this study, BNQDS were synthesized through hydrothermal synthesis methods by using urea, melamine and thiourea as nitrogen precursors and optical properties of BNQDS were compared by comparing emission and excitation characteristics of each BNQD synthesized by different nitrogen precursor. Structural properties of BNQDs were compared through infrared spectrum of each BNQDs. Our results revealed that the change in nitrogen precursor causes significant differences in photophysical and structural properties of BNQDs.

Authors: Panciera Marina , Arns Pedro
Published: August 2021

Os pavimentos são construções fundamentais para a urbanização e o desenvolvimento de metrópoles, no qual integrou-se por todo o processo e história da humanidade. O principal objetivo do pavimento, além de proporcionar conforto e segurança, é dar suporte a demanda do tráfego solicitado, atendendo as especificações de projeto. Porém os solos naturais nem sempre atendem as especificações mínimas para as condições solicitadas, devendo ser tratados ou substituídos. Há no mercado vários materiais que podem ser utilizados no melhoramento de solos para uso em camadas de um pavimento. Alguns descartes inadequados de compostos pelo alto grau de agressividade, poderiam ser utilizados para esse fim, viabilizando o uso de um solo que não atende as especificações. Na região de Criciúma pertencente ao estado de Santa Catarina, cerca de 500 toneladas de areia de fundição são descartadas por mês. Devido a esse desperdício, o presente estudo visou avaliar a aplicabilidade da areia de fundição fenólica fina e a recuperada, de modo a conferir e comparar a estabilidade de um solo de Formação Geológica Serra Geral, com o objetivo de melhorar suas características físicas e mecânicas. Para isso foram preparadas quatro amostras de material: uma de solo natural e três percentuais de solo com substituição por areias de fundição fenólicas. Pelos ensaios de caracterização do solo natural, comparado aos das amostras com substituição por areia de fundição fenólica fina, verificou-se que não houve alterações significativas nas caraterísticas, sendo possível sua utilização para uso de subleito ou de material de empréstimo. Já a substituição com areia de fundição fenólica recuperada melhorou as características físicas e mecânicas para as substituições nos percentuais de 40% e 60%. Nestas dosagens as amostras mudaram seu comportamento argiloso para um solo arenosiltoso. Os melhores resultados obtidos, entre todas as amostras ensaiadas, foi a mistura em que houve uma substituição de 60% de solo por areia de fundição recuperada.

Published: August 2021

Mass media affects its consumers primarily in their cognitive dimension, by changing the image of the world - in this sense that the media becomes a vector of social influence, by changing the cognitions of individuals - but also by changing the shared social constructs within membership groups. The stated role of the media is to inform target audiences about events of interest in the field-specific to the activity of the media trust, but also to convey opinions, ideas, and views on those events in a way that is as complete and as complex as possible, allowing recipients to build their own opinions or adhere to one or another of the opinions expressed. This article deals with the ethics of mass communication when faced with a window of opportunity which allows an easier promotion of ideas or interests, taking into account the theory of life as a spectacle promoted by Erwin Goffman.
Przekształcenia siedzib gmin wiejskich w miasta – oczekiwania władz lokalnych w kontekście urbanizacji
Authors: Szymańska Justyna
Published: August 2021

Współcześnie urbanizacja jest coraz częstszym zjawiskiem. W wielu krajach stale wzrasta liczba miast oraz ludności miejskiej. Tematem wartym uwagi staje się więc poszukiwanie przyczyn przekształceń siedzib gmin wiejskich w miasta. Główne cele artykułu to rozpoznanie oczekiwań władz lokalnych, związanych z przekształcaniem siedzib gmin wiejskich w miasta, oraz ustalenie, w jakim stopniu ta zmiana wpływa na oczekiwane przez władze lokalne korzyści z niej wynikające. Motywacje do przekształceń oraz oczekiwane korzyści z nich płynące zostały przeanalizowane na przykładzie siedmiu gmin w Polsce: Urzędowa, Mielna, Wiślicy, Radoszyc, Otynia, Łagowa i Józefowa nad Wisłą. W tym celu dokonano charakterystyki wybranych gmin, a następnie przy użyciu wywiadu ustrukturyzowanego wskazano przyczyny zmiany siedziby gminy oraz oczekiwania władz tych miejscowości. Z przeprowadzonych badań wynika, że w większości przypadków władze lokalne oczekują głównie wzrostu prestiżu miejscowości oraz większych możliwości pozyskiwania nowych źródeł finansowania.

Celem artykułu jest ocena wpływu zmian kursu walutowego EUR/PLN na sferę realną polskiej gospodarki w latach 2010–2019. Okres ten charakteryzował się względnie stabilną sytuacją makroekonomiczną pomiędzy dwoma światowymi kryzysami ekonomicznymi. Polską gospodarkę można w tym czasie ocenić ponadto jako relatywnie silnie powiązaną handlowo, pieniężnie i koniunkturalnie ze strefą euro, co potwierdza przegląd literatury przedmiotu. W pierwszej części artykułu opisano zjawiska, które warunkują działanie kursu walutowego jako mechanizmu stabilizacji koniunktury w Polsce oraz przedstawiono wybrane wyniki badań w tym zakresie. Kolejną część pracy poświęcono na opis metodyki badania własnego. Następnie przedstawiono uzyskane rezultaty oraz zakończenie i wnioski. W badaniu wykorzystano model ekonometryczny VAR, za pomocą którego nie zaobserwowano statystycznie istotnej zależności pomiędzy zmianami kursu EUR/PLN a zmianami realnego PKB.

Published: August 2021

Helminth infections in Indonesia are most often caused by Soil-transmitted Helminths (STH) species. It turns out that STH infection has a protective effect against metabolic diseases by affecting glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. The effect related to the immune response that caused by STH infection. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between STH infection with insulin sensitivity in adults at Padang City. This study design was a comparative cross-sectional study with multistage random sampling technique. Stool samples were taken from 127 adults and there were 24 subjects (18.9%) infected with STH. Furthermore, We took another 24 uninfected subjects and compared their fasting blood glucose (FBG) and fasting insulin. Then, from the data We calculated it’s Homeostatic Model for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) score to assess insulin sensitivity. Unpaired T test and chi-square were used to analyze the data. The study result showed the average levels of FBG and fasting insulin were lower in STH-infected group than STH-uninfected group. However, there was no significant difference between two groups (FBG p=0.678; fasting insulin p=0.075). Also, STH-infected group tend to had good insulin sensitivity (66.7%) than STH-uninfected group (45.8%), but statistically, there was no significant relationship between STH infection and insulin sensitivity with p value=0.244. In conclusion, there is no relationship between STH infection and insulin sensitivity.

El proceso de la migración en relación con la educación del alumnado inmigrante en España
Authors: Esteban Frades Santiago , Romero Ureña Carmen
Published: August 2021

Las migraciones constituyen un problema de orden mundial sin resolver. Una visión únicamente educativa del tema sería insuficiente, es necesario tener en cuenta otras cuestiones como la estancia legal, el trabajo, la vivienda, la sanidad, el idioma, el ejercicio cultural y religioso, la participación social. Se revisa la situación de la escolarización del alumnado inmigrante desde una visión legal, pedagógica y documental. Existe el derecho a la educación para el alumnado inmigrante, pero se producen dificultades para su integración escolar como son unos rendimientos curriculares bajos, la concentración de este alumnado en ciertos colegios, cierto rechazo a los inmigrantes, escasa preparación del profesorado para dar una respuesta adecuada. La escolarización en nuestro país no presenta graves problemas y se ofrece en condiciones dignas, pero hay aspectos que mejorar. Como respuestas a esta problemática es necesario profundizar en la educación intercultural e inclusiva tal y como lo conciben organismos internacionales, principalmente la UNESCO.

Morte súbita no adulto
Authors: Nobusada Anderson Yoshio , Palhares Renata Bacic
Published: August 2021

Durante nossas vidas, apresentamos diversos sinais e sintomas que, invariavelmente, são indícios de que podemos estar a caminho de desenvolver uma ou outra determinada doença. Porém, várias patologias possuem evolução silenciosa e podem culminar com o óbito, sem que se tenha apresentado qualquer sinal ou sintoma prévio. Outras vezes, os sintomas podem ocorrer em curto espaço de tempo, em geral horas antes do evento morte. Esses casos são considerados como “morte súbita”.As causas de morte súbita no adulto são variáveis, sendo as de etiologia cardiovascular, de maior incidência. Outras etiologias frequentes são as epilepsias, as relacionadas a doenças respiratórias, as relacionadas a doenças infecciosas e a portadores de Síndrome Metabólica.

Published: August 2021

O traumatismo cranioencefálico (TCE) é uma das principais causas de morte violenta e ocorrência frequente na prática médico-legal. A compreensão dos mecanismos de trauma, o conhecimento dos diferentes tipos de lesão e a correta correlação com os elementos encontrados na perícia são fundamentais para a interpretação correta dos achados necroscópicos. Além dos casos em que há óbito imediato, o TCE é, muitas vezes, causa básica de morte metatraumática e muitas vítimas são submetidas a procedimentos neurocirúrgicos. O conhecimento das técnicas cirúrgicas comumente utilizadas para tratar o traumatismo craniano agrega elementos para elucidação do quadro necroscópico e uniformiza a nomenclatura da descrição dos achados decorrentes dos procedimentos cirúrgicos. Neste capítulo, aborda-se a classificação das lesões do ponto de vista médico legal, com exemplos de alterações morfológicas decorrentes de procedimentos cirúrgicos, cuja compreensão é fundamental para a correta interpretação de achados necroscópicos na perícia.

Published: August 2021

A coletânea e tradução dos Fragmentos da poesia épica e cômica da Grécia antiga & Vidas de Homero realizadas por Buzelli (Buzelli, 2019, ed. Odysseus) é, como o próprio autor ressalta, algo completamente atípico, seja pela abrangência do trabalho, seja pela incerteza para quem a obra se destina, entretanto, nessa resenha, gostaria de indicar não apenas a quem a obra possa interessar, mas especialmente para quem deve ser material obrigatório. Por atravessar os universos da literatura arcaica e clássica, da história e da filosofia, as “ruínas literárias” recolhidas e muito bem traduzidas por Buzzeli, constituem material valioso de pesquisa, por trazer vasta e qualificada informação para estudantes, professores e pesquisadores da literatura, história e filosofia, especialmente aos que dedicam à antiguidade arcaica e clássica.

Published: August 2021

Este artigo tem como principal objetivo discutir a construção e as funções do símile na poesia mélica arcaica. Para tanto, são apresentados alguns de seus aspectos formais e selecionou-se um corpus composto de um poema completo, o Epinício 5 de Baquílides (Maehler), e três fragmentos: o 96 de Safo (Voigt), o 19 de Estesícoro (Davies & Finglass) e o S151 de Íbico (Davies). Ao longo da argumentação, foram consideradas as dificuldades de análise desses símiles, geradas pelo estado fragmentário das canções e pelas diversas possibilidades de performance, e as particularidades das composições, que podem trazer tanto a linguagem poética tradicional do período, presente também nos poemas épicos, quanto imagens e mitos da tradição ressignificados.

Abstract Background: Postpartum depression is a psychological disorder during the postpartum period which is more dangerous than the baby blues. Postpartum depression can have a serious impact on the development of the baby as well as the social life of the mother. To anticipate the incidence of postpartum depression, it is necessary to have early detection. The purpose of this study was to describe the results of the seventh day postpartum depression screening at PMB S Malang City. Methods: The design of this research is descriptive quantitative with a population of 72 postpartum mothers, the number of samples is 57 people who are taken at simple random. Research instrument: EPDS questionnaire. Results: The results showed that postpartum mothers experienced postpartum depression in as many as 22.8%. Postpartum mothers who have an EPDS score 10 are mothers with the age group > 35 years, working mothers, high school education, nuclear family type, and the number of children 2 - 3 people. Conclusion: Even in small amounts, postpartum depression can have a negative impact on maternal mental health and child development in the future, so early detection efforts need to be cultivated.

During our previous research, we found that the grammatical ambiguity of most frequent words of European languages has a different distribution in comparison with less frequent ones. In the current research, we investigate in more details the reasons of such a phenomenon; we pay a special attention to the first thousand of most frequent tokens. Our investigation of modern disambiguation systems demonstrated that the increase of language diversity, we had found for most frequent words, leads to increase of number of mistakes made by those systems..

Robot therapy, a mental health care through interactions with robots, has attracted attention as a new method of dementia care. In particular, the therapeutic seal robot named “PARO” is being widely used. When using PARO in elderly facilities, caregivers called “handlers” encourage the elderly people to interact with PARO. However, the usage of PARO was left to the handlers itself. Therefore, there was no intended effect in certain cases. To solve this problem, this study aims to develop a method to record the behaviors of handlers and the reactions of elderly people during the robot therapy and a method to support planning by analyzing the recorded data. A Bayesian network was applied to analyze the relationship between the handler’s behavior and the elderly people’s reactions. To verify usefulness, the experiment was conducted at four elderly facilities between November 2019 and January 2020. The participants were 12 handlers and 21 elderly people. We observed the robot therapy using PARO for 20 min, and subsequently, conducted interviews. Consequently, a model that visualized the relationship between the handler’s behaviors and the elderly people’s reactions was obtained from 40 observed cases. The interviews confirmed that the model was useful for planning a robot therapy.

Medication is a key treatment for patients with schizophrenia. Patients with schizophrenia tend to easily decrease medication adherence with long-term treatment. However, there is a chronic shortage of specialists who provide medication support, such as visiting nurses. In addition, these patients do not often use smartphones or PCs in their daily lives. Thus, schizophrenic patients need a direct approach in the physical world because they are unfamiliar with cyberspace. This study aims to improve the home treatment environment using robot technology that can approach in the physical world of schizophrenic patients who need medication support. In this study, collaboration between psychiatric nursing specialists and medical engineers investigated the interaction between communication robots and patients. The results showed that the robot was accepted by patients with schizophrenia as a talking partner. The amount of robot talking seemed to affect the impression of the robot on schizophrenics. Utterance process analysis showed that the smoothness of the conversation affected the relationship between robots and schizophrenics.

We propose a system in which users can intuitively instruct the robot gripper’s positions and attitudes simply by tracing the object’s grasp part surface with one stroke (one drag) of the laser beam. The proposed system makes use of the “real world clicker (RWC)” we have developed earlier, a system capable of obtaining with high accuracy the three-dimensional coordinate values of laser spots on a real object by mouse-operating the time-of-flight (TOF) laser sensor installed on the pan-tilt actuator. The grasping point is specified as the centroid of the grasp part’s plane region by the laser drag trajectory. The gripper attitude is specified by selecting the left and right drag modes that correspond to the PC mouse’s left and right click buttons. By doing so, we realize a grasping instruction interface where users can take into account various physical conditions for the objects, environments, and grippers. We experimentally evaluated the proposed system by measuring the grasping instruction time of multiple test subjects for various daily use items.

Measurement of the sleeping state is useful for monitoring the health of a person being nursed. The sleeping state can be estimated from biological information such as respiration rate, heart rate, body motion, and lying posture. A heart rate measurement method that considers the harmonics of a respiratory signal is described herein. The harmonics of respiratory signals for heart rate measurement has not been considered hitherto. An unconstrained method is proposed for measuring respiration, heart rate, and lying posture using a Smart Rubber sensor, which is a rubber-based flexible planar tactile sensor developed for this study. Respiration and heart rates are measured by applying frequency analysis to time-series data of body pressure. The harmonics of a respiratory signal serves as noise in heart rate measurement. Therefore, the heart rate measurement is improved by eliminating the effects of harmonics. The average frequency error of the heart rate measurement by our proposed method is 0.144 Hz. Experimental results show that our proposed method enhances the precision of heart rate measurement. Hence, this method enables the accurate measurement of the sleeping state.

Rolling walkers are popular mobility aids for older adults. A rolling walker usually has two swivel front wheels and two non-swivel rear wheels. It is designed to improve stability while walking and reduce the risk of falling. However, a considerable number of users have come close to or experienced falling. We developed a user-adaptive brake assist system for the walker. In the system, the usage of a walker is modeled in combination with the walking speed and the distance from the walker to the user. A brake pattern is generated based on usage data interpolated using the inverse distance weighting method. The pattern is referenced to activate brakes with the corresponding strength while walking. The applicability was confirmed by analyzing the walking data of two older adults, and the usability was positively evaluated in experiments with seven young adults wearing elderly simulation suits.
