How Self-tracking and the Quantified Self Promote Health and Well-being: Systematic Review
Authors: Feng Shan , Mäntymäki Matti , Dhir Amandeep , Salmela Hannu 
Published: July 2021

Background
Self-tracking technologies are widely used in people’s daily lives and health care. Academic research on self-tracking and the quantified self has also accumulated rapidly in recent years. Surprisingly, there is a paucity of research that reviews, classifies, and synthesizes the state of the art with respect to self-tracking and the quantified self.

Objective
Our objective was to identify the state of the art of self-tracking and the quantified self in terms of health and well-being.

Methods
We have undertaken a systematic literature review on self-tracking and the quantified self in promoting health and well-being. After a rigorous literature search, followed by inclusions, exclusions, and the application of article quality assessment protocols, 67 empirical studies qualified for the review.

Results
Our results demonstrate that prior research has focused on 3 stakeholders with respect to self-tracking and the quantified self, namely end users, patients and people with illnesses, and health care professionals and caregivers. We used these stakeholder groups to cluster the research themes of the reviewed studies. We identified 11 research themes. There are 6 themes under the end-user cluster: user motivation and goal setting, usage and effects of self-tracking, continuance intention and long-term usage, management of personal data, rejection and discontinuance, and user characteristics. The patient and people with illnesses cluster contains three themes: usage experience of patients and people with illnesses, management of patient-generated data, and advantages and disadvantages in the clinical context. The health care professional and caregiver cluster contains two themes: collaboration among patients, health care professionals, and caregivers, and changes in the roles of patients and professionals. Moreover, we classified the future research suggestions given in the literature into 5 directions in terms of research designs and research topics. Finally, based on our reflections on the observations from the review, we suggest four future research directions: (1) users’ cognitions and emotions related to processing and interpreting the information produced by tracking devices and apps; (2) the dark side of self-tracking (eg, its adverse psychosocial consequences); (3) self-tracking as a societal phenomenon; and (4) systemic impacts of self-tracking on health care and the actors involved.

Conclusions
This systematic literature review contributes to research and practice by assisting future research activities and providing practitioners with a concise overview of the state of the art of self-tracking and the quantified self.

Background and Objectives
A preference-based health utility score (PROPr) can be calculated using Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System domain scores. We assessed the construct validity of PROPr among patients treated with KRT (hemodialysis or kidney transplant).

Design, setting, participants, & measurements
We performed a secondary analysis of data collected in multicenter, cross-sectional studies of adults treated with KRT, recruited between April 2016 to March 2020 in Toronto, Canada. All participants provided informed consent. The outcome was the PROPr score. Coadministered outcome variables included the Short-Form Six-Domain (SF-6D) and EuroQol Five-Domain Five-Level (EQ-5D-5L) scores. Socioeconomic and clinical variables included age, sex, diabetes, eGFR, serum albumin, hemoglobin, KRT, and Charlson Comorbidity Index. Construct validity was assessed through correlations between PROPr and SF-6D or EQ-5D-5L, and associations between PROPr and other exposure variables. Health-condition impact estimates (coefficients for health conditions compared with a referent category, e.g., dialysis versus kidney transplant) were calculated using multivariable linear regression.

Results
The mean (SD) age of the 524 participants was 57 (17) years, 58% were male, and 45% were White. Median (interquartile range) score was 0.39 (0.24–0.58) for PROPr, 0.69 (0.58–0.86) for SF-6D, and 0.85 (0.70–0.91) for EQ-5D-5L. Large correlations were observed between PROPr versus SF-6D (0.79; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 0.76 to 0.82) and EQ-5D-5L (0.71; 95% CI, 0.66 to 0.75). Both PROPr and the other utility indices demonstrated health-condition impact in the expected direction. For example, the estimate for PROPr was −0.17 (95% CI, −0.13 to −0.21) for dialysis (versus kidney transplant), −0.05 (95% CI, −0.11 to 0.01; P=0.08) for kidney transplant recipients with an eGFR of <45 versus ≥45 ml/min per 1.73 m2, and −0.28 (95% CI, −0.22 to −0.33) for moderate/severe versus no/mild depressive symptoms.

Conclusions
Our results support the validity of PROPr among patients treated with KRT.
Design and Implementation of LEACH Protocol for Wireless Sensor Network to Reduce for Network Area Energy Improvement and Security Using MATLAB
Authors: Ikharkar Ms. Pranali 
Published: July 2021

In this Paper Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have exploded in popularity in recent years as one of the fastest-growing developing technologies for delivering data over the internet. WSN is rapidly expanding its branches in practically every field of science and technology today. The WSN is made up of several tiny nodes that handle sensing, data collecting, aggregation, compression, and transmission. Because the sensor nodes are so small, the little battery only has a limited amount of power. As a result, the key issue for WSN is to effectively employ this insufficient battery capacity to extend the sensor networks' lifetime while reducing energy usage. However, when it comes to numbers,	However, a number of advanced clustered routing protocols have already been used in WSN to reduce the amount of energy consumed. The study's main goal is to improve the Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) protocol by implementing a new clustering routing topology. The process for selecting cluster heads in our proposed model is identical to that used in the standard Leach protocol. We have, however, partitioned the network's whole area into many rectangle dispersed sections. The LEACH algorithm was used in each area.

Authors: Castrillón-Marín Mateo , Rubio-Clemente Ainhoa 
Published: July 2021

Introducción. Debido al aumento de la toxicidad de las aguas residuales y a la limitada eficiencia de los sistemas convencionales, se hace necesaria la aplicación de procesos alternativos, entre los que destaca el sistema sono-foto-Fenton. Objetivo. Con este trabajo se busca optimizar las variables que afectan directamente el poder de oxidación del proceso sono-foto-Fenton, tales como el pH de la solución y la concentración de agente oxidante y promotor, para el tratamiento de un agua residual de origen petroquímico, con el fin de validar la conveniencia del uso de diseños de experimentos basados en un número reducido de corridas. Materiales y métodos. Para ello, se utilizó un diseño de experimentos central compuesto centrado en las caras, cuyo modelo de regresión de segundo orden obtenido fue validado. Los resultados alcanzados fueron comparados con los reportados en la literatura usando un mayor número de corridas experimentales. Resultados. Bajo condiciones de operación optimizadas (3 unidades de pH, 525 mg/L de H2O2 y 25,70 mg/L de Fe2+) se obtuvieron remociones de DQO > 70 %. Estos resultados fueron similares a las condiciones óptimas obtenidas e informadas previamente en la literatura utilizando un diseño de experimentos factorial completo. Conclusiones. Se demuestra, por tanto, la importancia de llevar a cabo diseños de experimentos que permitan optimizar sistemas de tratamiento de aguas usando un reducido número de corridas, lo cual se traduce en la reducción tanto de costos económicos como de tiempos de experimentación y análisis de la variable respuesta objeto de estudio.

Published: July 2021

This writing is library research on Mulla Sadra’s thought concerning the concept of insān ilahī as the main concept of transcendental existence discourse in response to western humanism paradigm because it consider vanishing the immaterial domain in human self. This writing is aimed to explain about perfection, happiness, and freedom as the value and main purpose of human existence in Islamic Philosophy civilization based on Mulla Sadra master piece al-Hikmah al-Mutāliyah fī al- Asfār al-Aqliyyah al-Arba’ah. By using descriptive-philosopical method we come to conclusion that the concept of insān ilahī in Mulla Sadra viewpoint were discussed and observed through transcendental discourse. Soul in Mulla Sadra view is immaterial substance which always went through the process of perfection in human existence. Besides knowing that there is immaterial substance in human existence, the concept of Mulla Sadra insān ilahī has also fix many falsity of western philosopher in describing the value and main purpose of man based on material awareness. The result is, individual viewing perfection and potential actualization in him depends on the things which based on logic to view the object of perception based upon his physical existence in reality. The dependence of existence toward material things describes the perfection which gained by individual partially. The result of this writing is to offer a new point of view in understanding the unlimited value and purpose of human existence toward particular paradigms through the concept of Mulla Sadra insān ilahī as the main concept of transcendental existence in Islamic Philosophical Civilization.Keyword: Existence, West, Islam
