Liebe im Netz: Begleitung beim Online-Dating von Menschen mit kognitiver Beeinträchtigung im stationären Setting
Creators: name: Manikuttiyil, Jain
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Menschen mit kognitiver Beeinträchtigung wurden lange Zeit die eigene Wünsche und Bedürfnisse zu Sexualität und Partnerschaft nicht zugestanden. Mit der Leitidee der Selbstbestimmung soll Menschen mit kognitiver Beeinträchtigung eine möglichst selbständige Lebensführung ermöglicht werden, dies ebenfalls im Lebensbereich Sexualität und Partnerschaft. Jedoch gestaltet sich die Suche nach einem Partner oder einer Partnerin schwierig, da sie unter anderem eher über ein kleines soziales Netzwerk verfügen. Als Möglichkeit ihr Umfeld zu erweitern, wird daher das Online-Dating gesehen. Um die Lebensrealität von Menschen mit kognitiver Beeinträchtigung aufzuzeigen, werden zuerst die verschiedenen Zugänge auf den Begriff der kognitiven Beeinträchtigung thematisiert. Im Anschluss wird das stationäre Setting erkälrt und die Begleitung von Menschen mit kognitiver Beeinträchtigung historisch aufgearbeitet. Damit ein Einblick übers Online-Dating entsteht, werden die Angebote erörert sowie die Chancen und Risiken von Online-Dating aufgezeigt. Für den Umgang mit neuen Medien, wie Online-Dating-Plattformen, werden die nötigen Medienkompetenzen erörtert. Als Abschluss wird das Professionsverständnis in der Sozialen Arbeit und Behindertenhilfe beleuchtet. Weiter wird auch das Spannungsfeld Fremd- und Selbstbestimmung untersucht sowie ein Ansatz zur Befähigung der Menschen mit kognitiver Beeinträchtigung erörtert.

description: Supply chain integration has become a prominent issue during the last decade. Efficient supply chain integration enables upstream and downstream supply chain firms to compete better. The thesis research was conducted to assessing supply chain integration in nine dairy processing centers in and around Addis Ababa. The study focused on five supply chain internal integration items, eight supply chain integration items with suppliers and customers. The general objective of this study was to assess supply chain integration in dairy processing center in and around Addis Ababa. Nine processing centers were selected purposively based on their processing capacity and accessibility. The research strategy of this study was a multiple case study and the dairy processing companies were the unit of analysis. Moreover, the study included organization that work closely with these companies to ensure the reliability of the research output. The research design applied both qualitative and quantitative methods for data collection. The quantitative data was analyzed using SPSS for descriptive statistics and the qualitative data was used to further explain the findings of the quantitative data. The finding of the study indicated that most of representative processing centers were established before 10 years and are privately owned. Pasteurized milk, yogurt, and soft cheese are the most common dairy products which were produced by most of the processing companies. Almost all of the mean level of agreements for variables in internal integration score is above 4.0 which are considered as high level of integration.The internal supply chain integration is more reliable and flexible than external (supplier and customer) supply chain integration. The supply chain internal integration of the case dairy processing was perceived high. The study also found the gap on sharing on production plan, long term policies and strategies with their suppliers and customers. Poor quality raw milk, raw milk supply and dairy product demand fluctuations during dry seasons and fasting period respectively, considered as a challenge for dairy processing centers. Dairy processing centers focused on internal integration and intensification. Collaboration and sharing information on production plan and strategies with suppliers and customers was considered as average. Even though supply chain integration variables score is high in dairy processing centers, sharing information on production plan, collaboration development program, sharing medium-term and long-term policies and strategies with suppliers and customers needs attention to bring sustainable improvement in the sector.

description: Ensuring sustainability demands more efficient energy management with minimized energy wastage. Therefore, the power grid of the future should provide an unprecedented level of flexibility in energy management. To that end, intelligent decision making requires accurate predictions of future energy demand/load, both at aggregate and individual site level. Thus, energy load forecasting have received increased attention in the recent past, however has proven to be a difficult problem. This paper presents a novel energy load forecasting methodology based on Deep Neural Networks, specifically Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) algorithms. The presented work investigates two variants of the LSTM: 1) standard LSTM and 2) LSTM-based Sequence to Sequence (S2S) architecture. Both methods were implemented on a benchmark data set of electricity consumption data from one residential customer. Both architectures where trained and tested on one hour and one-minute time-step resolution datasets. Experimental results showed that the standard LSTM failed at one-minute resolution data while performing well in one-hour resolution data. It was shown that S2S architecture performed well on both datasets. Further, it was shown that the presented methods produced comparable results with the other deep learning methods for energy forecasting in literature.

Magnetically elevated accretion disks in active galactic nuclei: broad emission line regions and associated star formation

description: We propose that the accretion disks fueling active galactic nuclei are supported vertically against gravity by a strong toroidal ($ϕ-$direction) magnetic field that develops naturally as the result of an accretion disk dynamo. The magnetic pressure elevates most of the gas carrying the accretion flow at $R$ to large heights $z > 0.1 R$ and low densities, while leaving a thin dense layer containing most of the mass --- but contributing very little accretion --- around the equator. We show that such a disk model leads naturally to the formation of a broad emission line region through thermal instability. Extrapolating to larger radii, we demonstrate that local gravitational instability and associated star formation are strongly suppressed compared to standard disk models for AGN, although star formation in the equatorial zone is predicted for sufficiently high mass supply rates. This new class of accretion disk models thus appears capable of resolving two longstanding puzzles in the theory of AGN fueling: the formation of broad emission line regions and the suppression of fragmentation thought to inhibit accretion at the required rates. We show that the disk of stars that formed in the Galactic Center a few million years ago could have resulted from an episode of magnetically elevated accretion at $> 0.1$ of the Eddington limit.

description: Background: For patients with opioid use disorder, buprenorphine extended-release injection (BUP-XR) achieves sustained therapeutic plasma concentrations, controls craving and withdrawal symptoms, and improves patient outcomes. Given retention challenges during transmucosal buprenorphine (BUP-TM) induction, assessing methods to quickly achieve sustained buprenorphine concentrations is important. Objectives: This open-label, single-group, single-center pilot study (NCT03993392) evaluated safety and tolerability of initiating BUP-XR following a single BUP-TM 4 mg dose. Methods: Eligible participants abstained from short and long-acting opioids for 6 and 24 hours, respectively. If the Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale (COWS) was ≥8, BUP-TM 4 mg was administered. Participants not exhibiting hypersensitivity, precipitated opioid withdrawal (POW), or sedation symptoms within 1 hour received BUP-XR 300 mg (assessed as inpatients for 48 hours and outpatients to Day 29). Endpoints were COWS score increase ≥6, independent adjudication of POW, and opioid use. Results: Twenty-six participants (14 male) received BUP-TM, 24 received BUP-XR, and 20 completed the study. After injection, COWS scores decreased from pre-BUP-TM baseline of 14.6 ± 4.1 to 6.9 ± 4.1 at 6 hours and 4.2 ± 3.2 at 24 hours. Most participants (62.5%) experienced maximum COWS scores pre-BUP-XR; 2 experienced a COWS score increase ≥6, occurring at 1 and 2 hours post-BUP-XR. By adjudication, 2/24 participants experienced POW. Irritability, anxiety, nausea, and pain were the most frequent adverse events (AEs) with no serious AEs. Conclusions: Results support increased flexibility for initiating BUP-XR. Initiating BUP-XR 300 mg following a single BUP-TM 4 mg dose was well tolerated. Although some participants initially experienced withdrawal symptoms after injection, significant symptomatic improvement was observed in all participants within 24 hours.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2005

description: Abby & Jeena - Survey of Literature Rica & Jai - Research Gap Kath & Noel - Novelty Explore It is not generally thought that there is great potential for sustainable and empowering local-level development through mass tourism; however the majority of world tourism continues to be at the large scale. This is especially so in China, where mass tourism is pursued as a means of developing the western regions where ethnic minority groups mostly reside . Instead of advising only small-scale community tourism based on theories of participation and empowerment, there is a need to examine realistically the potential of mass tourism for local-level development that is both sustainable and empowering. This thesis uses the case study of Jiuzhaigou Biosphere Reserve, Sichuan, China to explore the possibilities for the development of resident Tibetan communities hosting more than a million Chinese tourists per year. According to the values of the Tibetan village Panyazhai, well-being has indeed been enhanced through mass tourism, in a manner that is moving towards sustainability and empowerment. The thesis concludes that in Jiuzhaigou regulation is the key to sustainable and empowering development, and appropriate regulation is best achieved through partnerships between local communities and the State that involve both formal and personal relationships.
A New Drop Fluidics Enabled by Magnetic Field Mediated Elasto-Capillary Transduction

description: This research introduces a new drop fluidics, which uses a deformable and stretchable elastomeric film as the platform, instead of the commonly used rigid supports. Such a soft film impregnated with magnetic particles can be modulated with an external electromagnetic field that produces a vast array of topographical landscapes with varying surface curvature, which, in conjunction with capillarity, can direct and control motion of water droplets efficiently and accurately. When a thin layer of oil is present on this film that is deformed locally, a centrosymmetric wedge is formed. A water droplet placed on this oil laden film becomes asymmetrically deformed thus producing a gradient of Laplace pressure within the droplet setting it to motion. A simple theory is presented that accounts for the droplet speed in terms of such geometric variables as the volume of the droplet and the thickness of the oil film covering the soft elastomeric film, as well as such material variables as the viscosity of the oil and interfacial tension of the oil-water interfaces. Following the verification of the theoretical result using well-controlled model systems, we demonstrate how the electromagnetically controlled elasto-capillary force can be used to manipulate the motion of single and/or multiple droplets on the surface of the elastomeric film and how such elementary operations as drop fusion and thermally addressed chemical transformation can be carried out in aqueous droplets. It is expected that the resulting drop fluidics would be suitable for digital control of drop motion by simply switching on and off the electromagnetic fields applied at different positions underneath the elastomeric film. We anticipate that this method of directing and manipulating water droplets is poised for its applications in various biochemical reaction engineering, an example of which is Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).

Gerade, wenn es sich um Informationen über andere Menschen handelt, sind wir angehalten neutral zu bleiben, ohne dabei Vorurteile zu generieren, die zu einer Ausgrenzung dieser bestimmten Personengruppe führen. So eine Personengruppe stellen Menschen im Vollzug dar, aber auch solche, die an einer psychischen Erkrankung leiden. Daran sind besonders auch Fachpersonen der Sozialen Arbeit beteiligt. Sie arbeiten per se in einem Kontext, welcher sie vor verschiedene Herausforderung stellt. In der vorliegenden Arbeit «Stigmatisierung durch Professionelle – Strategien zur Entgegenwirkung», befasst sich die Autorin Katharina Mazur mit dem Thema Stigmatisierung von Klientel mit einer Persönlichkeitsstörung im Straf- und Massnahmenvollzug inkl. Bewährungshilfe und dem Umgang mit diesem multidimensionalen Phänomen. Mittels Leitfadeninterviews wurden sowohl Erfahrungen wie auch der Umgang mit Klientel dieser Personengruppe erfasst. Dadurch konnte herausgearbeitet werden, welche Strategien sowohl auf institutioneller als auch auf individueller Ebene angewendet werden, um der Stigmatisierung entgegenzuwirken. Fachpersonen der Sozialen Arbeit sind sich den vielen Herausforderungen, die sich in diesem Zusammenhang ergeben, bewusst. Daher sind sie stets bemüht sich in ihrer Handlungsweise zu reflektieren und wenden diverse Strategien an um der Stigmatisierung entgegenzuwirken. Denn nur so kann eine tragfähige Beziehung geschaffen und somit eine gelingende Resozialisierung gefördert werden.

description: BACKGROUND- Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most common nosocomial infection, with the prevalence rates ranging from 10% to 70% in critical/ Intensive care units. It is a sub-type of hospital-acquired pneumonia which occurs in people who are on intubation or mechanical ventilation that was not present at the time of admission to hospital or that occurs 48 hours after intubation and mechanical ventilation through an endotracheal or tracheotomy with reported incidence of 6–20 times higher in these patients. OBJECTIVE: To assess knowledge, practice and associated factors of Adult Intensive Care nurses' on prevention of Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) in selected Hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. METHODS AND MATERIALS- A facility based cross-sectional and observational study was conducted on 129 Adult Intensive Care nurses to assess their knowledge, practice and other associated factors by using self-administered questionnaire and observational checklist. Information letters, consent forms and questionnaires were handed to nurses working in the Adult ICU; by data collectors. Data was coded and entered into EPI INFO 3.5.4 and Analyzed using SPSS version 16.0 for descriptive and inferential statistics. RESULTS: Out 129 respondents, 78 (60.5%) were females, 73 (56.6%) had diploma, Majority of Adult Intensive Care nurses 79 (61.2%) had no ICU training, and 87 (67.5 %) had been working in the ICU for less than 6 years, 66 (51.2%) scored below mean score, had inadequate knowledge. There was a significant difference in knowledge between respondents with ICU training as found (p value = 0.04) and between participants with different educational level (p value = 0.021). Significant difference in practice was found between ICU nurses who had ICU training (p value = 0.038) and between nurses with different years of Experiences (p value = 0.041) CONCLUSION: The study reveals that majority of nurses working in the Adult Intensive Care Units had inadequate knowledge and practice. Nevertheless, those nurses who trained and had high educational level have adequate knowledge than those nurses who had more years of experience, where as those experienced and trained nurses were practicing more adequately than those nurses who hold first and second degree. RECOMMENDATIONS: I would like to recommend those program efforts working towards prevention of VAP, and improving Knowledge and practices of Intensive care nurses'.

description: IntroductionEducation is strongly advocated as a key component of treatment for mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in clinical guidelines. However, there is mixed evidence on the benefit of education. This study aimed to evaluate a new education resource for mTBI. CLARITY is a freely available animated video based on a biopsychosocial conceptualization of mTBI, explaining the complex psychological, environmental and biological mechanisms behind symptoms and recovery.1Methods24 adults with a history of mTBI participated in this mixed method study to examine prior experience of mTBI education and to evaluate CLARITY. Following viewing of the education video participants’ were invited to engage in a semi-structured interview and to share their perceptions of it via an online anonymous questionnaire.ResultsThematic analysis of semi-structured interviews revealed one overarching theme: education is the foundation of recovery. Participants emphasised the critical role of coherent education in facilitating understanding, engagement in rehabilitation, and positive expectations during recovery. However, the first subtheme was that existing foundations are weak. Participants’ previous education was often limited in scope, inconsistent, and delivered in inaccessible ways. The second subtheme was that new foundations are stronger. Participants responded positively to CLARITY, highlighting its explanatory biopsychosocial approach, focus on mental health factors and accessible delivery methods as key strengths. Questionnaire responses revealed favourable endorsement of CLARITY’s utility, comprehensibility and accessibility.DiscussionRecommendations for minor refinements to CLARITY were provided and made, as well as for its use in health care services.

description: Background: Implementing ecological momentary assessment (EMA) methodology to evaluate the substance use disorder (SUD) treatment pipeline has clear advantages, including learning about participants’ day-to-day experiences to aid in the improvement of services and accessibility for those seeking treatment. Given that the SUD treatment pipeline spans long periods of time, EMA burst designs (deployment of multiple short EMA periods spread over time) can be advantageous for evaluating the treatment pipeline over time while keeping participant burden low. Objectives: This feasibility study describes (1) the process and study design of implementing EMA burst methodology to evaluate the SUD treatment pipeline experience; (2) study implementation from the perspective of researchers, including discussion of collaboration with community partners; and (3) participant feedback on the experience of engaging with this type of research. Method: EMA metrics, feasibility ratings, and general experience ratings in the study are presented from 22 participants (64% women) who participated in a parent EMA study evaluating the SUD treatment pipeline and 8 who provided feedback in a follow-up survey. Results: Participants found the EMA burst design to be acceptable and not burdensome, although technology issues were present for some participants. Steps to partnering with community treatment programs and implementation of a burst design are outlined. Conclusions: Strategies and recommendations for implementation of an EMA burst study with community partners are provided, including aspects of study design, technology issues, retention, and funding.

On anisotropy function in crystal growth simulations using Lattice Boltzmann equation

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Computational Physics (physics.comp-ph)

description: In this paper, we present the ability of the Lattice Boltzmann (LB) equation, usually applied to simulate fluid flows, to simulate various shapes of crystals. Crystal growth is modeled with a phase-field model for a pure substance, numerically solved with a LB method in 2D and 3D. This study focuses on the anisotropy function that is responsible for the anisotropic surface tension between the solid phase and the liquid phase. The anisotropy function involves the unit normal vectors of the interface, defined by gradients of phase-field. Those gradients have to be consistent with the underlying lattice of the LB method in order to avoid unwanted effects of numerical anisotropy. Isotropy of the solution is obtained when the directional derivatives method, specific for each lattice, is applied for computing the gradient terms. With the central finite differences method, the phase-field does not match with its rotation and the solution is not any more isotropic. Next, the method is applied to simulate simultaneous growth of several crystals, each of them being defined by its own anisotropy function. Finally, various shapes of 3D crystals are simulated with standard and non standard anisotropy functions which favor growth in <100>-, <110>- and <111>-directions.
Regression on latent spaces for the analysis of multi-condition single-cell RNA-Seq data

Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited
Year: 2023

description: Single-cell RNA-seq data allows researchers to profile the gene expression of 10,000s of cells. Multi-condition single-cell data reveals expression differences between corresponding cell subpopulations in different conditions.
 Here, we propose to use regression on latent spaces to simultaneously account for variance from known and latent factors. Our approach is built around multivariate regression on Grassmann manifolds. We use the method to analyze a drug treatment experiment on brain tumor biopsies. The method is a versatile new approach for identifying differentially expressed genes from single-cell data of heterogeneous cell subpopulations under arbitrary experimental designs without clustering.
 To foster the adoption of the method, we implemented an R package that is available on github.com/const-ae/lemur.

description: We report on the detection of a bright, short, structured X-ray burst coming from the supernova remnant RCW 103 on 2016 June 22 caught by the Swift/BAT monitor, and on the follow-up campaign made with Swift/XRT, Swift/UVOT and the optical/NIR GROND detector. The characteristics of this flash, such as duration, and spectral shape, are consistent with typical short bursts observed from soft gamma repeaters. The BAT error circle at 68 per cent confidence range encloses the point-like X-ray source at the centre of the nebula, 1E161348-5055. Its nature has been long debated due to a periodicity of 6.67 hr in X-rays, which could indicate either an extremely slow pulsating neutron star, or the orbital period of a very compact X-ray binary system. We found that 20 min before the BAT trigger, the soft X-ray emission of 1E161348-5055 was a factor of ~100 higher than measured 2 yr earlier, indicating that an outburst had already started. By comparing the spectral and timing characteristics of the source in the two years before the outburst and after the BAT event, we find that, besides a change in luminosity and spectral shape, also the 6.67 hr pulsed profile has significantly changed with a clear phase shift with respect to its low-flux profile. The UV/optical/NIR observations did not reveal any counterpart at the position of 1E161348-5055. Based on these findings, we associate the BAT burst with 1E161348-5055, we classify it as a magnetar, and pinpoint the 6.67 hr periodicity as the magnetar spin period.

Environmental and social factors associated with the spread of Covid-19: A review study
Publisher: name: Birjand University of Medical Sciences
Year: 2022

description: Environmental and social determinants play a key role in health safety, and this factor is significantly highlighted in a pandemic situation. In this review study, determinants of health were examined from social and environmental approaches n the conditions of the COVID-19 epidemic. The study followed the methodology of a regular unsystematic narrative review search from the scientific database. In this study, it was found that the most important environmental and social factors affecting health in epidemic conditions included access to clean air, access to clean water, proper management of healthcare waste, income, and education levels. It was notable that air pollution led to an increase in deaths caused by COVID-19, while research on cigarette smoking showed a reverse association with mortality rate. Additionally, access to clean water and proper management of hospital and medical centers waste would reduce the risk of the presence of the coronavirus in water sources and living environments. Moreover, a high level of education and training was stated as an essential factor in reducing mortality. People with high education levels had more compliance with health training. Moreover, high-income levels in people led to more access to health services and the supply of health-related necessities during the epidemic, which reduced the rate of death to a high extent.

One way to optimize this sector, signaling system plays an important role for safe running of trains. Railway signaling systems ensure the safe operation of the railway network, and their reliability and maintainability directly affect the capacity and availability of the railway network, in terms of both infrastructure and trains. As most of its subsystem and components are working in open atmospheres, its operations are sometimes very difficult to monitor. In this context, proper and efficient maintenance activities can be useful to its effective operation. This thesis seeks to study the reliability, availability and maintainability of a signaling system with failure and repair data by Markov modeling. Then reliability and maintainability of every sub systems are evaluated and graph is plotted for different time intervals. Moreover, maintenance intervals at different reliability values are also evaluated. Steady state reliability of different subsystems is also calculated. The model is verified with simulation of Addis Ababa LRT signaling systems with different scenarios. The analysis from this thesis shows that reliability of rail signal and switch machine are the lowest among six subsystems, hence it is required more attention than other subsystems and maintainability of onboard IATP equipment, beacon (balise), LEU, CBI, and rail signal is almost good except onboard IATP, switch machine and CBI which is lowest. So onboard IATP, switch machine and CBI are needs special consideration.

description: We present a robust but still efficient simulation approach for high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy with a flexible tip apex showing sharp submolecular features. The approach takes into account the electronic structure of sample and tip and relaxation of the tip apex. We validate our model by achieving good agreement with various experimental images which allows us to explain the origin of several observed features. Namely, we have found that high-resolution STM mechanism consists of the standard STM imaging, convolving electronic states of the sample and the tip apex orbital structure, with the contrast heavily distorted by the relaxation of the flexible apex caused by interaction with the substrate.

description: Background: Neonatal danger signs are now a public health problem and a contributing factor for neonatal death. Even though, intervention programs like integrated management of newborn and childhood illness and institution delivery service are implemented danger signs related neonatal morbidity and mortality is high still now because of lack of maternal knowledge towards it. Early detection of neonatal danger signs is an important step towards improving newborn survival. Therefore, mothers" knowledge is needed to reduce neonatal death and further complication of those danger signs. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge on neonatal danger sign and associated factors among post natal mothers in public hospitals of Addis Ababa Ethiopia. Methods and materials: An institutional based cross sectional study was conducted among 363 postnatal mothers from March 15 th to May 15 th , 2019. Systematic random sampling technique was used to select the study participants. Interviewer-administered, structured and pretested questionnaire was used to collect the data. The data were checked for completeness, entered to Epi- Data version 4.4.3.1 and exported to SPSS version 25.0 for analysis. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis with 95% CI, crud odds ratio and adjusted odds ratio were used to identify factors associated with the outcome variable. Statistical significance was declared at P-value < 0.05. Then the results were presented with text, tables, graphs and figures for different variables. Result: A total of 363 post natal mothers were interviewed with a response rate of 100%. Overall, only 33.1% of mothers had good knowledge about neonatal danger signs. Factors like maternal education college and above (AOR=2.11, 95% Cl: 1.51-2.99), caesarean section mode of delivery (AOR=3.72, 95% Cl: 1.71-8.12), parity (AOR=5.34, 95% Cl: 1.64-2.64) and education during PNC follow up (AOR=2.77, 95% Cl: 1.49-5.15) were significantly associated with the level of good maternal knowledge. Similarly, access to television was also a statistical significant factor for maternal knowledge (AOR=2.15, 95% Cl: 1.11-4.15). Conclusion: Maternal knowledge on neonatal danger signs was poor. Therefore educational intervention during ante natal care, institution delivery and post natal care visit, advocating the use of media and increase maternal birth preparedness are highly recommended.
Explanation of the experiences of reluctance towards vaccination against COVID-19: A qualitative study

description: Background and Aims: The COVID-19 disease has become a global problem and its prevention through vaccination has led to a reduction in the damage and human casualties at the time of its occurrence. Recognition of the factors that affect the acceptance of vaccination, identification of the barriers, and facilitation of decision-making in the field of vaccination are important aspects of designing effective strategies to improve the coverage of vaccination among the people of Zahedan province, Iran. This study aimed to explain the experiences of reluctance towards vaccination against COVID-19.\nMaterials and Methods: This applied conventional qualitative research was conducted in 2022. The study population included all individuals who refused to receive the vaccine after a public call for vaccination against COVID-19 in Zahedan. The data collection method was the semi-structured interview, based on an interview guide. The sampling method was goal-based till data saturation.\nResults: In this study, 40 people who did not want to be vaccinated were interviewed. In the sub-coding stage of the analysis of interviews with participants, 15 concepts and finally 5 main categories (stereotyped beliefs, reception of inhibiting information, physical and taste limitations, lack of facilities and services, and shortness of decision-making bodies) were derived.\nConclusion: According to the results, low health literacy and underestimation of vaccination were the main reasons for reluctance towards vaccination against COVID-19. In order to address this shortcoming, major policies should be developed in the field of education. Attention to religious beliefs and aspects of fatalism, older age, and higher economic and social status can be specifically considered in the future plans of health policymakers regarding vaccination against COVID-19.

description: Detecting elliptical objects from an image is a central task in robot navigation and industrial diagnosis where the detection time is always a critical issue. Existing methods are hardly applicable to these real-time scenarios of limited hardware resource due to the huge number of fragment candidates (edges or arcs) for fitting ellipse equations. In this paper, we present a fast algorithm detecting ellipses with high accuracy. The algorithm leverage a newly developed projective invariant to significantly prune the undesired candidates and to pick out elliptical ones. The invariant is able to reflect the intrinsic geometry of a planar curve, giving the value of -1 on any three collinear points and +1 for any six points on an ellipse. Thus, we apply the pruning and picking by simply comparing these binary values. Moreover, the calculation of the invariant only involves the determinant of a 3*3 matrix. Extensive experiments on three challenging data sets with 650 images demonstrate that our detector runs 20%-50% faster than the state-of-the-art algorithms with the comparable or higher precision.
