Published: April 2021

Background: Social isolation during COVID-19 may negatively impact older adults’ wellbeing. To assess its impact, we measured changes in physical activity and sleep among community-dwelling older adults, from pre-to post-pandemic declaration. Method: Physical activity and sleep in older adults (n = 10, age = 77.3 ± 1.9 years, female = 40%) were remotely assessed within 3-month pre-to 6-month post-pandemic declaration using a pendant-wearable system. Depression was assessed pre-and post-pandemic declaration using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale and was compared with 48 h continuous physical activity monitoring data before and during pandemic. Results: Compared to pre-pandemic, post-pandemic time spent in standing declined by 32.7% (Cohen’s d = 0.78, p < 0.01), walking by 52.2% (d = 1.1, p < 0.01), step-counts by 55.1% (d = 1.0, p = 0.016), and postural transitions by 44.6% (d = 0.82, p = 0.017) with increase in sitting duration by 20.5% (d = 0.5, p = 0.049). Depression symptoms increased by 150% (d = 0.8, p = 0.046). Interestingly, increase in depression was significantly correlated with unbroken-prolong sitting bout (ρ = 0.677, p = 0.032), cadence (ρ = −0.70, p = 0.024), and sleep duration (ρ = −0.72, p = 0.019). Conclusion: This is one of the early longitudinal studies highlighting adverse effect of the pandemic on objectively assessed physical activity and sleep in older adults. Our observations showed need for timely intervention to mitigate hard to reverse consequences of decreased physical activity such as depression.

Published: April 2021

Recently, with the popularization of camera tools such as mobile phones and the rise of various short video platforms, a lot of videos are being uploaded to the Internet at all times, for which a video retrieval system with fast retrieval speed and high precision is very necessary. Therefore, content-based video retrieval (CBVR) has aroused the interest of many researchers. A typical CBVR system mainly contains the following two essential parts: video feature extraction and similarity comparison. Feature extraction of video is very challenging, previous video retrieval methods are mostly based on extracting features from single video frames, while resulting the loss of temporal information in the videos. Hashing methods are extensively used in multimedia information retrieval due to its retrieval efficiency, but most of them are currently only applied to image retrieval. In order to solve these problems in video retrieval, we build an end-to-end framework called deep supervised video hashing (DSVH), which employs a 3D convolutional neural network (CNN) to obtain spatial-temporal features of videos, then train a set of hash functions by supervised hashing to transfer the video features into binary space and get the compact binary codes of videos. Finally, we use triplet loss for network training. We conduct a lot of experiments on three public video datasets UCF-101, JHMDB and HMDB-51, and the results show that the proposed method has advantages over many state-of-the-art video retrieval methods. Compared with the DVH method, the mAP value of UCF-101 dataset is improved by 9.3%, and the minimum improvement on JHMDB dataset is also increased by 0.3%. At the same time, we also demonstrate the stability of the algorithm in the HMDB-51 dataset.

Authors: Wang Jian , Guo Xinyu , Yang Xinyu
Published: April 2021

Intersection management is a sophisticated event in the intelligent transportation system due to a variety of behavior for traffic participants. This paper primarily overviews recent studies on the scenes of intersection, aiming at improving the efficiency or guaranteeing the safety when vehicles pass the crossing. These studies are respectively surveyed from the perspectives of efficiency and safety. Firstly, recent contributions to efficiency-oriented, intersection management overviews from four scenes, including congestion avoidance, green light optimized speed advisory (GLOSA), trajectory planning, and emergency vehicle priority preemption control. Furthermore, the studies on intersection collision detection and abnormal information warning are surveyed in the safety category. The corresponding algorithms for velocity and route management presented in the surveyed works are discussed.
Identification of the Optimal Season and Spectral Regions for Shrub Cover Estimation in Grasslands
Authors: Soubry Irini , Guo Xulin
Published: April 2021

Woody plant encroachment (WPE), the expansion of native and non-native trees and shrubs into grasslands, is a less studied factor that leads to declines in grassland ecosystem health. With the increasing application of remote sensing in grassland monitoring and measuring, it is still difficult to detect WPE at its early stages when its spectral signals are not strong enough. Even at late stages, woody species have strong vegetation characteristics that are commonly categorized as healthy ecosystems. We focus on how shrub encroachment can be detected through remote sensing by looking at the biophysical and spectral properties of the WPE grassland ecosystem, investigating the appropriate season and wavelengths that identify shrub cover, testing the spectral separability of different shrub cover groups and by revealing the lowest shrub cover that can be detected by remote sensing. Biophysical results indicate spring as the best season to distinguish shrubs in our study area. The earliest shrub encroachment can be identified most likely only when the cover reaches between 10% and 25%. A correlation between wavelength spectra and shrub cover indicated four regions that are statistically significant, which differ by season. Furthermore, spectral separability of shrubs increases with their cover; however, good separation is only possible for pure shrub pixels. From the five separability metrics used, Transformed divergence and Jeffries-Matusita distance have better interpretations. The spectral regions for pure shrub pixel separation are slightly different from those derived by correlation and can be explained by the influences from land cover mixtures along our study transect.
Glimpse: A Gaze-Based Measure of Temporal Salience
Authors: Traver V. Javier , Zorío Judith , Leiva Luis A.
Published: April 2021

Temporal salience considers how visual attention varies over time. Although visual salience has been widely studied from a spatial perspective, its temporal dimension has been mostly ignored, despite arguably being of utmost importance to understand the temporal evolution of attention on dynamic contents. To address this gap, we proposed Glimpse, a novel measure to compute temporal salience based on the observer-spatio-temporal consistency of raw gaze data. The measure is conceptually simple, training free, and provides a semantically meaningful quantification of visual attention over time. As an extension, we explored scoring algorithms to estimate temporal salience from spatial salience maps predicted with existing computational models. However, these approaches generally fall short when compared with our proposed gaze-based measure. Glimpse could serve as the basis for several downstream tasks such as segmentation or summarization of videos. Glimpse’s software and data are publicly available.

Authors: Aguiar Noury Gabriel , Walmsley Andreas , Jones Ray B. , Gaudl Swen E.
Published: April 2021

Demographic changes are putting the healthcare industry under pressure. However, while other industries have been able to automate their operation through robotic and autonomous systems, the healthcare sector is still reluctant to change. What makes robotic innovation in healthcare so difficult? Despite offering more efficient, and consumer-friendly care, the assistive robotics market has lacked penetration. To answer this question, we have broken down the development process, taking a market transformation perspective. By interviewing assistive robotics companies at different business stages from France and the UK, this paper identifies new insight into the main barriers of the assistive robotics market that are inhibiting the sector. Their impact is analysed during the different stages of the development, exploring how these barriers affect the planning, conceptualisation and adoption of these solutions. This research presents a foundation for understanding innovation barriers that high-tech ventures face in the healthcare industry, and the need for public policy measures to support these technology-based firms.

Published: April 2021

Innovations in engineering education are undergoing a noticeable transformation. Higher education institutions are practicing distance education, remote laboratories, studio pedagogies and several other approaches in order to increase their students’ retention, success, and preparedness for the job market. In engineering education, maker spaces have become popular in the last ten years in universities as well as community colleges, high schools and community innovation hubs. A large number of engineering colleges have allocated significant spaces, and at some universities entire buildings, as maker spaces to be used for curricular and extracurricular activities. Success stories of these types of spaces are well documented. This paper describes the core activities and programs held at Tennessee Tech University’s maker space called ‘iMakerSpace.’ Accomplishments include several innovative workforce development activities. The impact and effectiveness of the iMakerSpace, presented through workforce innovations and survey statistics, is a unique contribution to this paper. In addition, the modification of operations under COVID-19 pandemic restrictions has resulted in changes that may be carried out post-pandemic.

Published: April 2021

Lung cancer causes more deaths globally than any other type of cancer. To determine the best treatment, detecting EGFR and KRAS mutations is of interest. However, non-invasive ways to obtain this information are not available. Furthermore, many times there is a lack of big enough relevant public datasets, so the performance of single classifiers is not outstanding. In this paper, an ensemble approach is applied to increase the performance of EGFR and KRAS mutation prediction using a small dataset. A new voting scheme, Selective Class Average Voting (SCAV), is proposed and its performance is assessed both for machine learning models and CNNs. For the EGFR mutation, in the machine learning approach, there was an increase in the sensitivity from 0.66 to 0.75, and an increase in AUC from 0.68 to 0.70. With the deep learning approach, an AUC of 0.846 was obtained, and with SCAV, the accuracy of the model was increased from 0.80 to 0.857. For the KRAS mutation, both in the machine learning models (0.65 to 0.71 AUC) and the deep learning models (0.739 to 0.778 AUC), a significant increase in performance was found. The results obtained in this work show how to effectively learn from small image datasets to predict EGFR and KRAS mutations, and that using ensembles with SCAV increases the performance of machine learning classifiers and CNNs. The results provide confidence that as large datasets become available, tools to augment clinical capabilities can be fielded.

Progression to unscheduled hospital admissions in people with diabetes: a qualitative interview study
Authors: Perrin Nikki ED , Heaton Janet , MacRury Sandra M , Friel Kathleen M , Coates Vivien
Published: April 2021

Background

People with diabetes often have difficulty maintaining optimal blood glucose levels, risking progressive complications that can lead to unscheduled care. Unscheduled care can include attending emergency departments, ambulance callouts, out-of-hours care, and non-elective hospital admissions. A large proportion of non-elective hospital admissions involve people with diabetes, with significant health and economic burden.

Aim

To identify precipitating factors influencing diabetes-related unscheduled hospital admissions, exploring potential preventive strategies to reduce admissions.

Design & setting

Thirty-six people with type 1 (n= 11) or type 2 (n= 25) diabetes were interviewed. They were admitted to hospital for unscheduled diabetes-related care across three hospitals in Scotland, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland. Participants were admitted for peripheral limb complications (n= 17), hypoglycaemia (n= 5), hyperglycaemia (n= 6), or for comorbidities presenting with erratic blood glucose levels (n= 8).

Method

Factors precipitating admissions were examined using framework analysis.

Results

Three aspects of care influenced unscheduled admissions: perceived inadequate knowledge of diabetes complications; restricted provision of care; and complexities in engagement with self-care and help-seeking. Limited specialist professional knowledge of diabetes by staff in primary and community care, alongside inadequate patient self-management knowledge, led to inappropriate treatment and significant delays. This was compounded by restricted provision of care, characterised by poor access to services — in time and proximity — and poor continuity of care. Complexities in patient engagement, help-seeking, and illness beliefs further complicated the progression to unscheduled admissions.

Conclusion

Dedicated investment in primary care is needed to enhance provision of and access to services. There should be increased promotion and earlier diabetes specialist team involvement, alongside training and use of technology and telemedicine, to enhance existing care.
Escola e comunidade: um estudo sobre a participação das famílias na Escola de Ensino Fundamental e Médio Anastácio Alves Braga, Itapipoca, Ceará
Authors:   , Bezerra André Carlos
Published: April 2021

A presente dissertação é desenvolvida no âmbito do Mestrado Profissional em Gestão e Avaliação da Educação (PPGP) do Centro de Políticas Públicas e Avaliação da Educação da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (CAEd/UFJF). Assume-se neste caso de gestão, o postulado de que a participação das famílias nas atividades da escola constitui-se indispensável para o fortalecimento das ações desenvolvidas por esta, bem como influenciar positivamente no processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Entretanto, a parceria família e escola, em algumas instituições de ensino, ainda se encontra aquém do desejável. Considerando essa temática, este estudo parte da hipótese de que a baixa participação na escola está relacionada a fatores como à escassez de projetos desenvolvidos pelas instituições e que estimulem tal ação, a frágil condição socioeconômica dessas famílias, a utilização de mecanismos ineficazes de comunicação entre os segmentos e a necessidade de implementar ações que corroborem com a gestão democrática e participativa no cotidiano escolar. Diante dos fatos, propomos a seguinte questão norteadora para este caso: quais ações podem ser implementadas para fomentar a participação das famílias nas atividades da Escola de Ensino Fundamental e Médio Anastácio Alves Braga? Assim, o objetivo principal deste caso de gestão consiste em identificar e analisar os motivos da baixa participação das famílias nas ações da Escola de Ensino Fundamental e Médio Anastácio Alves Braga, com vistas a propor mudanças nesse cenário. E como objetivos específicos: a) descrever a participação do núcleo familiar nas ações e projetos da referida escola; a) analisar os fatores associados a essa participação exígua; e, a) propor ações que ampliem a participação de pais, responsáveis, aluna(o)s, professores e funcionários nas decisões e projetos desenvolvidos pela instituição. A fundamentação teórica toma como base os estudos de Lück (2018), Paro, (1996, 2008, 2016), Libâneo (1994, 1996) e Cury (1997), dentre outros. Para cumprir com os objetivos, adotou-se a metodologia de estudo de caso com abordagem qualitativa. Participaram do estudo gestores, docentes, pais e/ou responsáveis e aluna(o)s. As análises possibilitam perceber a necessidade da instituição assumir o papel de protagonismo para mudanças que promovam a integração, ofertando possibilidades para que a participação das famílias e suas interações com os demais membros da comunidade, possam contribuir no desenvolvimento cognitivo e social dos discentes.

Published: April 2021

Les coronaviroses bovines, dues au coronavirus bovin (BCoV), sont à l’origine de troubles digestifs et respiratoires chez les bovins domestiques et sauvages. Elles sont répandues à travers le monde ; leur incidence est très élevée dans les élevages de bovins laitiers et bovins à viande, et les pertes économiques qu’elles entraînent peuvent être considérables. Si le rôle du coronavirus est reconnu dans les infections digestives (du veau à l’adulte), l’implication du virus comme agent pathogène majeur dans le complexe des maladies respiratoires des jeunes bovins est encore sujet à discussion, bien que son incidence se soit accrue en élevage durant ces dernières années. La présente publication fait une synthèse des aspects cliniques, épidémiologiques, immunitaires et préventifs de ces infections virales majeures dans l’espèce bovine.

PLANTATIO ECCLESIAE DAN PAROKI MISIONER DALAM ARDAS KEUSKUPAN SURABAYA 2020-2030
Authors: Laksito Petrus Canisius Edi
Published: April 2021

Plantatio Ecclesiae is a particular term elaborated in missiology in the first half of the 20th century, and then used by the Vatican Council II in the decree on the mission activity of the Church Ad Gentes (1965) to designate the definition of mission and its goal, as well. From this perspective, it is believed that mission is not merely a question about converting souls and, therefore, bringing them to eternal salvation, but especially a “plantation of the Church” in the lands not yet touched by christian faith. Thus, mission is not only about individual salvation, but particularly about the formation of new christian communities comprised of indigenous people with their own hierarchical leaders, who live their own native values and culture contributing themselves for the local development and the good of their own society, enlightened by christian faith and strengthened by christian love. Being used to determine the ideal of a missionary parish in the Basic Orientation (Arah Dasar) of the Diocese of Surabaya 2020-2030, this term is important to be studied. This study tries to learn how the ideal of a missionary parish, seen from the perspective of plantatio Ecclesiae theology, could be realized by the Catholic Church of the Diocese of Surabaya in the years to come.

Assessment of Storage Related Haematological and Biochemical Changes in Blood Units
Authors: Kaur Dr. Sirat
Published: April 2021

Red blood cells are still the most widely transfused blood component worldwide and their story is intimately entwined with the history of transfusion medicine and the changes in the collection and storage of blood.1,2 At present, the most widely used protocol for the storage of red blood cells (for up to 42 days) is the collection of blood into anticoagulant solutions (typically citrate-dextrose-phosphate); red cell concentrates are prepared by the removal of plasma and, in some cases, also leukoreduction. The product is stored at 4 ± 2° C in a slightly hypertonic additive solution, generally SAGM (sodium, adenine, glucose, mannitol, 376 mOsm/L).1
The British obstetrician, Braxton Hicks in 1868, experimented with a solution of phosphate of soda, but this also proved toxic. Richard Lewinsohn, in 1915, of the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York is credited with introducing sodium citrate into clinical practice as an anticoagulant.3In fact, a 1% solution of sodium citrate was already widely used in laboratories as an anticoagulant. This high concentration was toxic to humans but, as Lewinsohn himself recalled, `Nobody had ever followed the simple thought of carrying out experiments to ascertain whether a much smaller dose might not be sufficient' for use as an anticoagulant.

Published: April 2021

Appearing in early 2020, Covid 19 hit the world. It created great fear and anxiety in almost all countries including Turkey. It also caused significant social, cultural and economic changes in societies. One of the sectors experiencing these changes and difficulties in societies is undoubtedly education. Based on this reality, this study aims to reveal to what extent the distance education caused by Covid 19 affects the attitudes of the students of Necmettin Erbakan University School of Foreign Languages towards English learning and their success. The study was carried out synchronously, in which the lecturer and the 19 English Language Teaching preparatory class students were in communication all the time. It was a qualitative study, and semi-structured interview was used as the tool to collect data. The findings were analyzed in depth making use of interpretive analysis. The biggest drawback of on-line learning was found out to be not having the interaction carried out in a physical classroom. The results showed that the switch to on-line learning can seem challenging both for teachers and for students.
