Single-Use Wearable Wireless Sensors for Vital Sign Monitoring
Authors: Clark Michelle , Bailey Sharon
Published: November 2023

What Is the Issue?

The monitoring of vital signs is a key component of patient care. Metrics such as heart rate, body temperature, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation allow health care staff to monitor the well-being of their patients.

What Is the Technology?

Single-use, wearable devices for vital sign monitoring have a variety of designs that are embedded with sensors that allow for continuous monitoring. They transmit data wirelessly to a base unit within a health care setting or a home.

What Is the Potential Impact?

For patients in the hospital, single-use wearable monitors can allow for fewer interruptions to rest. For patients leaving the hospital, the wearable monitors can allow for peace of mind and earlier discharge because the individual continues to be monitored remotely. In out-of-hospital settings, vital sign monitoring can signal when a person should seek additional care. The potential impacts may extend to caring for older adults at home.

What Else Do We Need to Know?

This Horizon Scan summarizes information regarding the effectiveness, safety, cost, and other considerations should there be a broad implementation of emerging wearable devices for the remote measurement of vital signs.

Published: November 2023

Background: Vulnerability assessment and analysis have gained increasing significance as they provide essential data to guide governments on food insecurity issues. Aims: This review was aimed at establishing the use and influence of food and nutrition security vulnerability assessment and analysis data and reports in Zimbabwe. Methods: A total of 18 databases and search engines were explored. The inclusion criteria were English articles published after 31 December 2016 to 15 February 2022. Results: A final list of 65 scientific publications and 32 grey literature documents was found from the literature search. From the academic publications citing the Zimbabwe Vulnerability Assessment Committee (ZimVAC) reports or products, the most popular thematic areas were food and nutrition security (36%, 24/67), climate change 18% (12/65), Nutrition 9% (6/65), Resilience 9% (6/65) and Livelihoods 9% (6/65). Regarding grey literature documents citing ZimVAC products, most were humanitarian response appeals by the United Nations Representative Office in Zimbabwe and the Government of Zimbabwe. In scientific literature there was use of ZimVAC information for both conceptual and symbolic purposes and in grey literature it was used mainly for instrumental and symbolic purposes. The results also revealed that several food and nutrition security programs in Zimbabwe have been informed by VAA information presented in the ZimVAC products. Conclusion: The findings in this paper show that VAA data and products are well-cited in both scientific and grey literature. However, as food and nutrition security appear to be the most important theme informed by ZimVAC data, ZimVAC needs to speak to a wider spectrum of policymakers and programmers by illuminating other themes, such as risk reduction and resilience. VAA tools must be adaptable and take into consideration topical issues such as pandemics with evidence generated for policy and programming in real-time.

Platelets have an important role in hemostasis, namely the formation and stabilization of platelet plugs. There are several methods in the counting of platelets. They can be carried out in a direct and an indirect manner. The direct method can be carried out in an automatic and automatic way. The automatic method uses an hematology analyzer which functions to measure and examine blood cells in blood samples. Counting the number of platelets is done automatically by two methods, namely optical and impedance which have different principles. The optical method is based on cell size and morphology, while impedance is based on cell size only. Hypochrome is a condition where the Hb concentration is less than normal so that the central achromia widens (> 1/3 of the cell) and there is a decrease in the color of the erythrocytes, namely an increase in the diameter of the central pallor above normal so that it looks paler. Microcyte is a condition where the cell size is smaller than normal. The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in the number of platelets in the hematology analyzer using the impedance method and the optical method in the case of microcytic hypochromic anemia (based on erythrocyte index) with a descriptive analytical research design. The test used is the paired t-test with a total sample of 30 samples. The results of platelets using the impedance method have an average of 339.37 * 103 / uL with a standard deviation of 120.294. The results of platelets using the optical method have an average of 314.70 * 103 / uL with a standard deviation of 113.569. A significant value of 0.000 significant value of (sig. < 0.05) can be concluded that there is a difference between the results of platelets on the hematology analyzer using the impedance method and the optical method in cases of microcytic hypochromic anemia (based on erythrocyte index). Keywords : Trombosit, Hipokrom Mikrositer, Hematology analyzer, Impedance, Optik.

Published: November 2023

O HTLV é um vírus progressivo, que pode causar disfunções diversas se tiver seu tempo de incubação sem interrupção por algum tratamento. O objetivo do trabalho foi informar a importância da divulgação do vírus. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, onde foram pesquisados artigos científicos nas plataformas Scielo e Google Acadêmico, nos períodos de 2013 a 2023. Os problemas causados pelo HTLV podem ser irreversíveis. A sintomatologia da doença não é específica, portanto, não  evidencia a  ação do agente tornando difícil o  diagnóstico. É um vírus que o organismo humano tem dificuldade para combater, por conta dele destruir  as células de defesa de proteção, podendo fazer estragos e deixar o organismo vulnerável para outros agentes patológicos. Apesar de não ter  preferência pelas pessoas, o HTLV  atinge grande parte da população mundial, sendo o Brasil o país com maior número de casos entre os países do mundo. Da família do HIV, muito conhecido por todos, o tipo HTLV-I, atinge mais pessoas do que o próprio HIV e também outras doenças conhecidas como a tuberculose e hepatite C. Por ser uma doença que causa vulnerabilidade aos seres humanos a diversas doenças, onde muitas delas, a ciência ainda não elucidou por completo, é salutar que profissionais de saúde em geral tenham conhecimento para que possam passar informações corretas para seus pacientes, e ter diagnósticos mais efetivos e certeiros. Tudo isso contribui para que nenhuma doença se espalhe a ponto de matar milhares e deixar dezenas de pessoas sequeladas e doentes no mundo todo.

Published: November 2023

Abstract. Temperature and water vapor profiles are essential to climate change studies and weather forecasting. Hyperspectral instruments are of great value for retrieving temperature and water vapor profiles, enabling accurate monitoring of their changes. Successful retrievals of temperature and water vapor profiles require hyperspectral radiometer measurement accuracy. In this study, the radiometric accuracy of an airborne hyperspectral microwave radiometer, High Spectral Resolution Airborne Microwave Sounder (HiSRAMS), and a ground-based hyperspectral infrared radiometer, Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI), is simultaneously assessed by performing radiative closure tests under clear-sky conditions. As an airborne instrument, HiSRAMS has two radiometers measuring radiance in the oxygen band (49.6–58.3 GHz) and water vapor band (175.9–184.6 GHz) for zenith-pointing and nadir-pointing observations. AERI provides ground-based, zenith-pointing radiance measurements between 520 and 1800 cm-1. A systematic warm radiance bias is present in the temperature-sensitive channels in AERI observations in the window band. Upon removal of this bias, improved radiative closure was attained in the window band. The brightness temperature (BT) bias in nadir-pointing HiSRAMS observations is smaller than at the zenith. A novel but straightforward method is developed to diagnose the radiometric accuracy of the two instruments in comparison based on the relationship between radiometric bias and optical depth. Compared to AERI, HiSRAMS demonstrates similar radiometric accuracy for nadir-pointing measurements but exhibits relatively poor accuracy for zenith-pointing measurements, which requires further characterization. Future work on temperature and water vapor concentration retrievals using HiSRAMS and AERI is warranted.
Precipitation reconstructions for Paris based on the observations by Louis Morin, 1665–1713 CE
Authors: Pliemon Thomas , Foelsche Ulrich , Rohr Christian , Pfister Christian
Published: November 2023

Abstract. This paper presents a precipitation reconstruction that is based on the continuous observations by Louis Morin in Paris from 1665–1713. Morin usually recorded precipitation intensity and duration three times each day (sometimes up to six times) when it snowed or rained. The continuity of his observations can be calculated considering all measurements and observations (e.g., temperature, cloud cover), where on 98.7 % of all days between February 1665 and July 1713 at least one entry per day is noted. To convert these observations to common units, we calibrated them with a multiplicative interacting model using Philippe and Gabriele-Philippe de la Hire's instrumental measurements from Paris. The two series of measurements by de la Hire (father and son) and observations by Morin overlap from 1688–1713. To test the quality of the reconstruction, we analyzed it with the de la Hire's measurements, proxy data, an internal analysis of Morin's measurements of different climate variables, and modern data. Thus, we assess the reliability of the precipitation reconstructions based on Morin's data as follows. We have moderate confidence regarding the exact quantities of daily, seasonal, and annual precipitation totals. We have low confidence regarding exceptionally high precipitation amounts, but we have high confidence in the indices of an impact analysis (i.e., dry days, wet days, consecutive dry days, consecutive wet days); in monthly frequencies of rainfall; and in interannual, interseasonal, and interdecadal variability. Rainy seasons with precipitation totals greater than 250 mm occurred in MAM 1682, JJA 1682, SON 1687, JJA 1697, and JJA 1703. Furthermore, compared to other DJF seasons, the winter of 1666/1667 slightly stands out with a precipitation total of 214.6 mm. Dry seasons with precipitation totals less than 60 mm occurred in SON 1669, DJF 1671/1672, and DJF 1690/1691. An impact analysis shows no abnormalities regarding consecutive dry days or wet days in MAM. In JJA a longer dry period of 31 days appeared in 1686 and a dry period of 69 d appeared in DJF 1671/1672.
Geomorphic indicators of continental-scale landscape transience in the Hengduan Mountains, SE Tibet, China
Authors: Gelwick Katrina D. , Willett Sean D. , Yang Rong
Published: November 2023

Abstract. Landscapes are sculpted by a complex response of surface processes to external forcings, such as climate and tectonics. Several major river captures have been documented in the Hengduan Mountains, leading to the hypothesis that the region experiences exceptionally high rates of drainage reorganization driven by horizontal shortening and propagating uplift. Here we determine the prevalence, intensity, and spatial patterns of ongoing drainage reorganization in the Hengduan Mountains and evaluate the relative time scales of this transience by comparing drainage divide asymmetry for four geomorphic metrics that operate at different spatial and temporal scales. Specifically, we calculate the migration direction and the divide asymmetry index (DAI) drainage divide asymmetry in catchment-restricted topographic relief (CRR), hillslope gradient (HSG), normalized channel steepness (ksn), and normalized channel distance (χ).  ksn and χ are both precipitation-corrected to account for the strong precipitation gradient across the region. The different spatial scales of these geomorphic metrics allow us to establish the relative timescales of observed landscape transience in the Hengduan Mountains, where local scale metrics measure short-term change and integral quantities measure long-term disequilibrium. We find a high incidence of strongly asymmetric divides in all metrics across the Hengduan Mountain region. Although the magnitude of asymmetry varies significantly between metrics, possibly due to a combination of metric-specific thresholds and varying proxy relationships with erosion rate, a majority of divides agree on divide migration direction. Agreement in divide migration direction indicates active landscape response when asymmetry is high and a state of quasi-equilibrium when asymmetry is low. Disagreements between the integral quantity, χ, and the other geomorphic metrics can be explained by different timescales of the underlying geomorphic processes, with χ reflecting a long-term response and CRR, HSG, and ksn capturing short-term perturbations to catchment structure. These perturbations include various transient mechanisms, such as differential tectonic uplift or erodibility, glacial alteration, and river captures. Our work confirms the high incidence of drainage reorganization across the Hengduan Mountains and highlights both transient and stable areas in the landscape with high resolution. We also offer valuable insights on the application of geomorphic metrics that can be generalized and applied to the study of landscape transience and drainage divide asymmetry in other settings.

Les rapports maternels de la tragédie classique que l’on retrouve dans La Vie de Marianne
Authors: Saleh Rania
Published: November 2023

Lorsque Constant Venesoen aborde Le complexe maternel dans le théâtre de Racine (1987), et La thématique de la mère dans la tragédie racinienne (2016), il appuie ses arguments sur la psychanalyse de C. G. Jung comme cadre scientifique de la thématique maternelle racinienne, sans doute pour éviter de plaquer la vie de l’auteur sur son œuvre, et pour en souligner les archétypes. Il se trouve que le rapport maternel est considéré comme le plus complexe et le plus ardemment recherché dans La Vie de Marianne (1736). Nous ne tentons pas de dire que par sa préciosité, Marivaux appartienne au XVIIe siècle, mais il semble qu’il existe une continuité entre son traitement des figures maternelles dans La Vie de Marianne, et la tragédie racinienne.
A Whole Mind, an Unconquered Eye: Self-Reliance and Freedom in Henry James’s Daisy Miller
Authors: Martínez Serrano Leonor María
Published: November 2023

Looking at Henry James’s literary contexts can fruitfully help shed light on his work. Brilliantly versed in the literary traditions of his time, he was influenced by American, English, French and Russian writers. This article traces the influence of Emerson’s notions of freedom, natural spontaneity, innocence and self-confidence as expressed in his essays “Nature” (1836) and “Self-Reliance” (1841) in Daisy Miller (1878), whilst it investigates the ways James’s novella articulates the all-important dichotomy of self-sufficiency (individual freedom, autonomy, innocence) vs. social conformity (fear, heteronomy, hypocrisy) at play in the narrative. Daisy is the female embodiment of self-reliance as conceptualised in Emerson’s homonymous essay – a free, innocent, uncultivated, wild, and unsophisticated spirit – and so she is never afraid. Epistemology turns out to be central to the conception of the novella, as Winterbourne and the American matriarchs are shown struggling to grasp the protagonist’s puzzling innocence and true nature. As Daisy is a wild being living in accord with Nature as conceived by Emerson, the novella is punctuated by critical moments where the heroine is most at home when enmeshed in the green world, particularly in the outdoor scenes in the Château de Chillon in the Swiss Alps, the Palaces of the Caesars, the Colosseum and the Protestant cemetery in Rome.

Time of Flight Mass Spectrum is a method of mass spectrometer depending on the time which has been taking to reach the detector (usually located between 1 to 2 min from the source to separate ions) where the Sample is taken and mixed with matrix {the matrix is made up by chemical compound (2,4 Benzoic acid and cinamic acid) and they act as chemical cross link to produce matrix}. The energy source of this procedure is laser. Never the less, the ratio between sample and the matrix is 1:10,000 in order to prevent hampering the. However, TOF has some advantages such as unlimited upper ( mass /charge ) values to be detect, high resolution, good definition of narrow chromatographic peaks , good sensitivity and high quality spectra, High accurate mass measurement to the nearest 0.1 millimass unit for determining the elemental composition for ions less than 500 Da and It can perform tandem MS. Never the less, it has some drawbacks as requiring higher vacuum, Resolution changes with m/z value and high cost equipment. We conclude from this paper that: TOF is considered as one of the best mass filters because of unlimited upper (mass / charge) values to be detected as well as the capability of acquiring rapidly for averaging and good definition of narrow chromatographic peaks.

Norsk folkemusikklags seminar 2014 hadde teknologi som tema. Siktemålet var å belyse teknologiens rolle i forskning på, formidling, tradering og utøving av norsk folkemusikk og - dans. Seminaret samlet ca. 25 deltakere.
Åpningsforedraget ble holdt av professor Tellef Kvifte. Han ga en generell betraktning om forholdet mellom musikk og teknologi i vid forstand, der han bl.a. fokuserte på to av de sentrale teknologiene i vår folkemusikkhistorie, nemlig noteskrift og opptaksteknologi. Deretter ga Notto Thelle, daglig leder av Notam, Norsk senter for teknologi i musikk og kunst, et innblikk i hva sentret arbeider med. Thelle tok spesielt for seg et prosjekt som går ut på å gjøre Eivind Grovens renstemmingsautomat tilgjengelig digitalt.

Published: November 2023

Este estudo buscou identificar quais são os fatores contribuintes para a sustentabilidade em habitações na percepção do usuário. Os dados foram extraídos pelo método de procedimento Survey. Um questionário, estruturado com uma escala de diferencial semântico de sete pontos e 53 variáveis, foi enviado por Google Forms. Foram realizadas análises descritivas e estatísticas multivariadas dos dados - análise fatorial, com o auxílio do software SPSS. Os resultados foram estratificados de modo a obter uma amostra que correspondesse à população brasileira em relação ao gênero, com 163 resultados, abrangendo as regiões Sul, Sudeste e Centro-Oeste. A análise agrupou as variáveis em oito fatores a partir de suas similaridades, sendo os mais representativos: Eficiência dos recursos, Incentivos legais e fiscais e Valor relativo. Verificou-se que existem fatores que realmente são influentes e que devem ser disseminados, de maneira que atenda às necessidades e as demandas dos usuários. A ênfase na sustentabilidade ambiental não fornecerá motivação suficiente se houver a falta de incentivo econômico e aceitação social. Porém, implementar incentivos ou legislações, regulamentos e códigos, sem acompanhar os fatores econômicos e sociais, não se mostrará sustentável em longo prazo. Somente abordando o bem-estar dos moradores e fornecendo os benefícios associados a Habitações Sustentáveis para que aumente o interesse por tais habitações.

Authors: Ribeiro Natasha , Sauer Aline Silva
Published: November 2023

Durante a pandemia da COVID-19, a forma de interagir com o espaço construído mudou consideravelmente, principalmente com o ambiente residencial, devido as transformações sociais e novas necessidades. Esse trabalho visa compreender a influência desse fenômeno nos projetos arquitetônicos de edifícios residenciais multifamiliares. Para isso, realizou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica e entrevistas com 5 arquitetos que realizam projetos arquitetônicos de edifícios multifamiliares na cidade de Vitória – ES. Também foram analisados projetos de 18 edificações, de médio a alto padrão, lançados entre os anos de 2020 a 2022 nessa cidade. Observou-se que a pandemia causou mudanças significativas na forma de projetar edifícios residenciais, incluindo a necessidade de espaços para home office ou coworking, áreas verdes e para animais de estimação, entre outras. Conclui-se que as mudanças sociais afetam diretamente na forma de morar e a pandemia da COVID-19 trouxe demandas urgentes que levaram a transformações rápidas e significativas nos projetos de edificações residenciais, que precisaram ser acompanhadas pelo mercado imobiliário, resultando em alterações favoráveis à saúde e bem-estar dos moradores.

Authors: Marques Patricia Sousa , Tiago Filemon Alves , Lima Fabíolla Xavier Rocha Ferreira
Published: November 2023

Esta pesquisa explora a possibilidade de suprir as necessidades humanas em harmonia com o meio ambiente, utilizando técnicas antigas de construção como abordagens contemporâneas. A permacultura e a bioconstrução são apresentadas como formas diferenciadas e necessárias de lidar com espaços, promovendo um desenvolvimento mais saudável na relação entre o homem e o meio ambiente. Diante dos desafios urbanos, é crucial que a sociedade se preocupe com a educação e busque soluções para problemas como déficit habitacional, desemprego, degradação ambiental e social. A permacultura surge como uma proposta que busca conciliar as esferas social, econômica e ambiental, transformando a cidade em um laboratório de iniciativas sustentáveis. Objetiva-se conceituar a permacultura, as comunidades das Ecovilas e sua relação com a arquitetura. A metodologia apresenta técnicas e métodos de bioconstrução e, logo em seguida, os resultados do Projeto ArqViva, uma iniciativa baseada nos princípios da permacultura, bioconstrução e sustentabilidade.  As práticas foram realizadas com a participação de colaboradores, voluntários e moradores, para a execução do projeto arquitetônico e o início da construção de uma creche na ocupação urbana Alto da Boa Vista, em Aparecida de Goiânia - GO. Os resultados evidenciam a importância do retorno às práticas vernaculares como alternativa sustentável de construção e os benefícios revertidos à comunidade.

Działalność misyjna Polski pierwszych Piastów na ziemiach przykarpackich na przełomie X i XI wieku
Authors: Kapiszewski Henryk
Published: November 2023

Od czasów Karola Wielkiego za jedynie uprawnionego do prowadzenia akcji misyjnej i kościelno-organizacyjnej na terenie Europy środkowo-wschodniej uważał się Kościół niemiecki. Jednak jego działalność misyjna uzależniała politycznie od Niemców ludy schrystianizowane i narzucała niemieckie pośrednictwo między ludy pozyskane dla wiary a Stolicę Piotrową. Pierwsi Piastowie podejmując dzieło misyjne dali dowód pełnego zrozumienia zasady, że do głównych atrybutów samodzielnego władcy chrześcijańskiego należy szerzenie i umacnianie wiary nie tylko na ziemiach bezpośrednio mu podległych, ale i poza ich granicami. Przedmiotem niniejszego artykułu jest próba przedstawienia form działalności misyjnej w latach 985-1025 prowadzonej przez św. Wojciecha, św. Brunona i św. Świerada na ziemiach słowiańskich po obu stronach Karpat.

Dental caries affects all age groups, but especially children who are of preschool age. The disease is socially significant and affects the quality of life. Various interventions are used to prevent dental caries - water fluoridation, fluoride toothpaste, sugar restriction, antimicrobials, regular preventive examinations and, last but not least, oral hygiene. We have developed a health education program (conversation, discussion, film, practical activity) with the aim of preventing dental caries among children who are at the age of 5. The training was presented by 20 children attending the 'Prolet' kindergarten in the city of Pleven. A discussion was held among the children, a film was shown, proper brushing of the teeth was demonstrated, and they were given the opportunity to practice the technique shown to them. Parents were presented with an information board illustrating dental caries and its consequences; they were given flyers showing possibilities for its prevention. In this report, we show the changes in children's behavior (according to their parents) after the realization of the program. A positive effect of the program conducted among the children was reported. In conclusion, we can say that health education is an important element in the prevention of dental caries.

Published: November 2023

The evidence encompassing the correlation between iron status and the risk of ischaemic stroke is conflicting. Iron deficiency anaemia is an unusual aetiology of ischaemic stroke in adults. Despite having reports on the association between iron deficiency anaemia and stroke, little research is undertaken on a large scale to explore the association of iron deficiency anaemia with stroke and its treatment outcomes.
