description: In recent years with the fast progress made in neural networks research, supervised machine learning approaches have become increasingly powerful in finding flexible functions to predict target variable Y from input features X. However, most of these complex models require a large amounts of data to train, and often work under the assumption that the data points are i.i.d. In reality these assumptions are very likely to be violated. A simplified notion of this violation is when the training and the test datasets come from different joint distributions (i.e. Ptrain(X; Y ) 6= Ptest(X; Y )). In this setting, where the training and test datasets are also known as source and target domains respectively, domain adaptation is required to obtain good performance. In particular, when only unlabeled features are observed in the target domain, this setting is referred to as unsupervised domain adaptation, and it will be the main focus of this thesis. Domain adaptation is a wide sub-field of machine learning with the task of designing algorithms to account for this distributional difference under specific assumptions, for the purpose of better prediction performance in the target domain. In this thesis we make use of the data-generating process to address several subproblems of unsupervised domain adaptation. Namely, we first address the problem of unsupervised domain adaptation with multiple labeled source domains and an unlabeled target domain under the conditional-target shift setting, and we present an approach to capture the low-dimensional changes of the joint distribution across domains in order to perform prediction in the target domain. Secondly, we introduce an algorithm to reduce the dimensionality of the data when performing domain adaptation under the covariate shift setting. In particular, we make use of the particular properties of the covariate shift setting in order to reduce the dimensionality of the data such that we preserve relevant predictive information about the target variable Y . We further investigate domain adaptation from the perspective of the data-generating process when addressing the problem using neural networks. Deep neural architectures are commonly used to extract domain-invariant representations from the observed features. However, without labels in the target domain, there is no guarantee that these representations will have relevant predictive information for the target domain data. In this thesis, we investigate techniques to regularize this invariant representation in order to enforce that it has non-trivial structure which contains information which is relevant for predicting Y in the target domain. The first of these techniques is based on mutual information, and the second technique makes use of a novel criterion of distortion of the marginal distribution when transforming it from the source to the target domain.

description: HESME program concept is based on building and strengthening existing national structures and practices for health promotion at workplace, occupational health and safety, and environmental health. As part of the global HESME program, which includes different activities in the Republic of Macedonia, HESME pilot projects in two enterprises in 2003/2004 were aimed at analysis and setting targets of workplace health promotion. The analysis was made by the Institute of Occupational Health, WHO Collaborating Center and conclusions and recommendations to all stakeholders were presented. Workplace health promotion needs and priorities were defined: control of work environment hazards, smoking and alcohol consuming, encouragement of sport activities. Dealing with health problems (specific indications on stress, muscle pains, injuries at work, respiratory and allergy problems) and addiction problems (alcohol consuming, smoking), application of self-protection measures, education of managerial team on workplace hazards and ergonomics. HESME pilot implementation in both enterprises is centered on encouraging the integration of workplace health promotion issues at enterprise level as preparation for further steps.

description: The subject of the prison policy is mostly male population (there are, 5-7% of woman among prison inmates). Most of them are living under the harsh physical, psychical and social conditions. In addition, many prison inmates came to serve their sentence with developed risky life styles. That is why prisons are breeding an array of health problems. Typical are mental health problems, drug addiction and infectious diseases among which dominant role have tuberculosis, AIDS and hepatitis. The prison health care is rather neglected area. Recently, there were efforts to change this situation. The most prominent changes were characterized by measures of primary prevention, screening and systematic check-ups. That orientation has brought some improvements. However, introducing of the concept of the social determinants of health brought into the domain of the prison health care additional demands. From the point of view of these demands, the health policy in prisons should be based on two principles: the holistic principle, and the principle of human rights. The two blind alleys should be avoided: biomedical approach because of its superficiality and the risk factors approach because of its partiality. The four priorities should be followed: the professional one, the contextual one, the developmental one, and the economical one. The engagement should focus on the primordial prevention, domain of meanings, psycho- social development and sustainability. This is the health directed approach and not the medical one, and it can be allied with the similar engagement of other professionals working along the similar directions.

description: Health is one of most important elements and attributes in a life of a human being, a prerequisite for daily activities performance and happy life in general. Basically, human health is a reflection of the quality of relationship of human beings one with another, since health as the positive expression of human being wellbeing is tightly connected to the quality of sharing and caring in relationships. There exist several explanatory models of health. The concept of equilibrium (dynamic equilibrium) and the concept of adaptation to the environmental requirements and changes are contained in several of them. In tight connection with the phenomenon of health, it is the phenomenon of the disease. According to concept of dynamic equilibrium, the disease is the disturbance of the equilibrium expressed. In last decades, it has gradually become clear that the biomedical model of health and disease is outdated and inadequate. Health and disease can no longer be considered distinct entities where one exists only in the absence of the other. As well, the total environment needs to be considered in this context. Models, which focus on promoting salutogenic resources and promote the self esteem and coping abilities of individuals and communities, came to the fore.

Applications of Point Process Modeling to Spiking Neurons
Creators: name: Chen, Yu
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Neuroscience

description: Electrophysiological measurements of neurons recorded individually, collectively, and across brain regions simultaneously have been advancing the study of biophysical properties of individual neurons, information encoding and decoding, and interactions between neuronal ensembles. The recordings are composed of sequences of action potentials, usually referred to as spike trains, which carry signals of neural activity but they are contaminated with ubiquitous Poisson-type noise and the patterns vary from neuron to neuron, time to time, and trial to trial. The discreteness and randomness of the data make point process a suitable tool for understanding the neural signals represented by spike train data. This thesis provides four applications of point process modeling to spiking neurons. The first project addresses stability of fitted point process regression models. In the second project, we aim to bridge biophysical modeling and statistical modeling by describing how ion channel conductance can affect spike train patterns. The third project studies the covariation of time-dependent population firing rate features among interacting brain regions. The fourth project focuses on the inter-spike dependency between brain areas with weak coupling effects.

Year: 2008

description: Paper gives a historical and theoretical overview of understanding and contemporary concept of health care and various levels of prevention (primary, secondary and tertiary prevention) in terms of the natural course / history of disease. Special emphasize is given to the primary prevention and preventive medicine, what is disease, how to prevent it, to cure it, and to make its consequences less harmful. Specific examples and practices are presented for the specific measures for prevention of disease, control of risk factors, prevention of mental disorders in susceptible individuals or populations, protective procedures for communicable diseases control, as well as monitoring and regulation of environmental pollutants. Primary prevention is to be distinguished from secondary prevention, which is the prevention of complications or after-effects of a drug or surgical procedure, and tertiary prevention, the amelioration of the after-effects of a disease.

Lightweight Preemptible Functions

Subjects: subject: 80307 Operating Systems
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We introduce novel programming abstractions for isolation of both time and memory. They operate at finer granularity than traditional primitives, supporting preemption at sub-millisecond timescales and tasks defined at the level of a function call. This resolution enables new functionality for application programmers, including users of unmanaged systems programming languages, all without requiring changes to the existing systems stack. Despite being concurrency abstractions, they employ synchronous invocation to allow application programmers to make their own scheduling decisions. However, we found that they compose naturally with existing concurrency abstractions centered around asynchronous background work, such as threads and futures. We demonstrated how such composition can enable asynchronous cancellation of threads and the implementation of preemptive thread libraries in userland, both regarded for decades as challenging problems.

description: We analyze the uncertainty relation for the sum of variances, which is called in some papers, the stronger uncertainty relation for all incompatible observables. We show that this uncertainty relation for the sum of variances of the observables $A$ and $B$ calculated for the eigenstate of one of these observables, (say of $B$), contrary to the suggestions presented in some papers, leads to the same results as the Heisenberg--Robertson uncertainty relation, that it does not give any bounds on the variance of $A$.

description: In the health systems of countries of South-East Europe, the public health services have maybe suffered the most during the last fifteen years, with depreciated infrastructure and in some cases outmoded public health interventions. Recent positive trend has been visible in rehabilitation and reinforcement of population based public health interventions. Health staff profile likely best to accomplish function of the community based health education and health promotion are nurses. The patronage outreach nurses have received comprehensive training on methodology and techniques of adult-learning. They have knowledge of epidemiology, community assessment, programme planning and evaluation, biostatistics, research, nursing theory, public health administration and history and politics. They are the milestone in achieving the main principles of community health with its’ participatory process to improve population health and the health promotion empowerment process to reduce social inequalities in health. Additionally, their scope of work helps in readdressing the injustice in health, identifies a complex and mutually interrelated problems that involves individuals, family and community and link them with the local culture, wider policy decisions, economic and socio-cultural forces.

description: Many of contacts between the physician and the patient enable primary, secondary and tertiary prevention. The majority of preventive programs provided in family medicine are focused on cardiovascular and malignant diseases. In order to improve prevention in family medicine, a concept of pro-active prevention has been developed. Therefore, a patient-oriented approach is recommended in which a phyisician encourages preventive actions and provides preventive procedures during consultations made for different reasons. The program elements to be determined in advance include target group definition; frequency and method of a target group coverage, recording target group response, risk factor(s) measurement and follow up of patients with positive screening results. The preventive programs in family medicine should be developed and implemented on evidence-based guidelines. The paper describes organization of Family Medicine Services in Croatia and Preventive activities in the Family Medicine Services. The Health Care Measure Plan and Programme is included in the Contract between the Croatian Institute for Health Insurance and each GP. GPs in Croatia are obliged to provide all preventive activities but, however, there are no mechanisms for monitoring and evaluation. The contracted GPs realize the biggesr part of income grom capitation fees. In fact, the there is a lack of financial and professional incentives for GPs to provide preventive activities in the routine daily work.

description: One of the most important tasks of health care systems all over the world is to keep watch over health of the youngest population groups. Preventing various diseases by taking preventive measures in this population group saved millions of lives in the past. The paper presents the rough overview of the concept of disease prevention in preschool- and school-age children. The organisational scheme in Slovenia is used as an example. The consultation rooms in Slovenia are intended for healthy babies and children. They are not intended only for child’s care, but also for giving practical advice to children’s parents. Consultations are not limited only on child’s care. Parents are also advised about various determinants of children’s health e.g. appropriate diet as well. All the childrens frequent diseases are fought against according to the common doctrine as well. Several preventive systematic health examination and preventive measures are performed.

School health services in collaboration with school setting guarantees easy access to population of school children. The schools are also important environments for preventive actions directed to the group in this setting and population-oriented approach. The regular medical check-ups, as a part of the school health programme, are ideal opportunities to detect majority of health problems of school children in early stage as: growth and developmental problems, risky behaviour (smoking, drinking, drug use), unhealthy eating habits, psychosocial problems, reproductive health status sexual behaviour, contraception), school achievement, speech and learning disabilities, visual and hearing problems, cardiovascular risk factors (obesity, overweight, physical activity, blood pressure).

description: The module covers principles and concepts of health education, different approaches to health education, assessing population health needs, health education methods and tools, as well as how to work with individuals (counselling methods), with small groups (including self-help groups), and with population. Health education is an important tool in overall promotion of health. Health education principles are directed to healthy life style and strengthening defense mechanisms by efficient contribution of individuals in the social life. Health education is important for entire population regardless of age, educational level, gender, health and other determinants. Health education should be adjusted to the local culture needs and possibilities. Health promotion program of the World Health Organization from 1984 and Declaration from Ottawa from 1986 represent a basis for an innovative approach toward health education based on the social concept of health and healthy life styles. The new broader approach ”Education for Health” beside relevant and precise information includes all spontaneous and organized actions directed toward health. An essential precondition for those actions is to provide such healthy environment where a healthy choice would be the easiest choice. In this way the control and responsibility for someone’s health are becoming an integrative part of everyday life of the individual, family, community and society through adopting healthy life styles, and creating supportive environments for health.

description: The educational level is an important indicator within the socioeconomical status for health evaluation and a powerful instrument in promotion of population’s health. In 2000 a study conducted in R. Macedonia, in 15 municipalities with different gross national product per capita, encompassing 1129 examinees older than 18 years. The results of the conducted research showed statistically significant association of the educational level with the morbidity. Higher morbidity emerges in persons that are illiterate (78,57%) and in those who have completed only 1-3 elementary school grades (77,08%). There is also an interaction between the mortality and the educational level. Persons with lower educational level have higher mortality rate. What kind of interaction is there between the educational level and the positive health? People with lower educational level are more susceptible to diseases; they are less informed which leads to a poor health. Morbidity and mortality rates are lower in people with higher educational level, who also have high level of self-informing that augments their health awareness and culture, leading towards positive health. According to many research studies, the mechanisms that link education to positive health are the employment and self-satisfaction with the job, healthy lifestyle, psycho-social resources etc. There is a mutual negative effect between poverty and lack of education that provides skills and information needed for managing the stress situations life brings with itself. Education, employment and incomes increase the capacity of self-control, and that condition strengthen the health in relation to the environment The social support, which is most frequent in persons with higher educational level, promotes health and decreases mortality through physiological mechanisms of the environment. People with higher educational level most likely will look for preventive health care (yearly check-ups for health control, immunization and other preventive examinations) and will probably not abuse alcohol and drugs. Preparation of various programs for applying the health education will contribute in the process of directing the individual to correct behavior that leads towards positive health, opposite the hostile influences of the social environment, which leads to bad quality in health (based on the education).

description: This paper studies a challenging robust federated learning task with model heterogeneous and data corrupted clients, where the clients have different local model structures. Data corruption is unavoidable due to factors such as random noise, compression artifacts, or environmental conditions in real-world deployment, drastically crippling the entire federated system. To address these issues, this paper introduces a novel Robust Asymmetric Heterogeneous Federated Learning (RAHFL) framework. We propose a Diversity-enhanced supervised Contrastive Learning technique to enhance the resilience and adaptability of local models on various data corruption patterns. Its basic idea is to utilize complex augmented samples obtained by the mixed-data augmentation strategy for supervised contrastive learning, thereby enhancing the ability of the model to learn robust and diverse feature representations. Furthermore, we design an Asymmetric Heterogeneous Federated Learning strategy to resist corrupt feedback from external clients. The strategy allows clients to perform selective one-way learning during collaborative learning phase, enabling clients to refrain from incorporating lower-quality information from less robust or underperforming collaborators. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of our approach in diverse, challenging federated learning environments. Our code and models are public available at https://github.com/FangXiuwen/RAHFL.

description: Health communication is one of key approaches in health promotion. In last decade more and more techniques used by commercial marketers are used, termed in this context »social marketing«. It became integrative and inclusive discipline that uses a wide range of social sciences and social policy approaches as well as marketing. Like commercial marketing, social marketing is also focused on the consumer, and similarly, it is the knowledge on what people want and need and how to persuade them to buy what we are producing. On the other hand, there is a great difference between commercial and social marketing in the product. The paper presents the rough overview of the concept of social marketing and its basic characteristics.

description: Health education is becoming more and more important approach to control various public health problems, epecially in the populations with high percent of older age groups. At the first sight this approach seems to be very easy to practice but to plan and to practice properly this approach in various target groups it is necessary to have certain knowledge and skills. On one hand there exist different target groups in the process of health education with different needs and with different level and capacity of accepting the information on health. Practice of health education in old age groups differs substantially from the practice in adolescents or preschool children. On the other hand health professionals with different undergraduate background could be involved in the process of health education among them also physicians. In Slovenia, physicians of different speciality, especially general practitioners and family medicine specialists could be involved in health education on different occasions. Getting certain skills in health education could be of enormous importance for them.

description: The adoption by WHO’s member states of the International Health Regulations (2005) represents a paradigm shift away from mandatory reporting of specific diseases to a requirement for ministries of health to notify WHO concerning any potential Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). The European Union (EU) has also issued legislation on CDS&C, epidemic early warning and response, bioterrorism, and large number of related fields, including food safety, water quality, zoonotic diseases, blood safety, border controls, data protection and confidentiality etc, that are binding on EU member states. Harmonisation of national public health legislation to this acquis communautaire is a requirement for accession to the EU. This paper reviews the key guidance on strengthening CDS&C systems to meet the IHR and EU requirements, and it attempts to give a brief overview of international resources and implementation activities. If WHO member states are to respect the deadline of 2012 for achieving the stated IHR minimum core capacities, significant domestic investment will also be required, particularly for laboratory strengthening. Furthermore, Field Epidemiology Training Programmes and laboratory scientist training schemes will need to be established within the context of attractive careers in public health.

It required urgent Strategy for improvement the efficiency of perinatal care services in Macedonia in late 1990-ties. The main issues within the strategy were: prevention and health promotion, training and education, infrastructure, equipment supply, institutional and organizational change and policies and procedures. The example of Macedonia emphasized the role and the value of the education and training and health education in highly successful implementation of the National strategy for perinatal care improvement. The most appropriate learning startegies and methods of assessment were chosen in order to get the best scores in theoretical and practical sense. The greatest achievement was the overall decrease of 27% in the Perinatal Mortality Rate, compared 3 years before intervention with 2 years after starting intervention (27.4 to 21.5 per 1000 births) and decrease of 36% in early neonatal deaths in babies >1000g (12.0 to 7.7 per 1000 live births), reflecting the postnatal thrust of the program. The process of change management in perinatal health care was kept along implementing the standards, and the results were published as “successful story” in the final Report after the evaluation, prepared by the external consultant Prof Dr Heather Jeferry and submitted to the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Macedonia.

description: Eldercare is a specific component of the health care life cycle. As our societies age, there is a growing recognition of the value and importance of providing quality care for our older adults. Traditional approaches to health promotion and disease prevention focus on lifestyle change, screening tests, and immunizations. This paper highlights the interconnectivity of three areas: the individual, the community, and society, to facilitate effective health promotion and disease prevention in eldercare. While health promotion and disease prevention is a public health construct, interacting areas of the lives of older adults influence the success or failure of these programs. Each area can promote quality health care or become a barrier to effective disease prevention strategies.

description: World Health Organization recognizes oral health as an important component of general health, and furthermore, oral health is essential for well-being. The majority of oral diseases is related to lifestyles and reducing these mostly chronic diseases relies much on changing behaviour. Changes for the better in behaviour can and do occur, but require commitment and expertise within health promotion. Customs, practices and lifestyle issues play a role in the oral health of a community and should be considered when national policies and programmes are being formulated. Oral health and general health share common factors related to diet, the use of tobacco, and the excessive consumption of alcohol and the solutions to control oral disease are to be found through shared approaches with integrated chronic disease prevention. Oral health promotion is an integral part of general health promotion. Together, oral health promotion and general health promotion address the inseparable issues of systemic and oral diseases, general and oral hygiene, general and oral health care attitudes, and general health services as well as dental services. Thus, oral health promotion and oral disease prevention should embrace what is termed ‘the common risk factor approach’; leading to the integration of oral health promotion into broader health promotion. Each country should produce a thorough description of its population in terms of demographics, socioeconomics, health, diet, nutrition, and cultural factors affecting oral health knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviours. The case of Slovenia is used as an example.
