Qualitative Research in Occupational Therapy: Strategies and Experiences

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Qualitative Research in Occupational Therapy provides an overview of the need for qualitative inquiry of occupation, occupational therapy practices and the experiences of occupational therapy clients. It also explains and illustrates the natural fit between the beliefs and assumptions of occupational therapy and those of the qualitative paradigm of scientific inquiry. In addition to overviews of types of studies and the major strategies of research data collection, this text distinguishes itself from most others by including a series of narratives on the research journey. In addition, reprints of select published studies illustrate the richness of qualitative studies in occupational therapy.
[A simplified method for estimating mitral valve area by Doppler].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Based upon geometrical considerations we have developed a new method for estimation of valve area in patients with mitral stenosis. A special ruler enables us to read the valve area from the Doppler record. We prove that our new method is more precise and rapid than original Hatle's procedure. In 35 patients, we found a good correlation between the result of our method and the valve area obtained by 2D-Echo. Thus the new method is very useful for Doppler evaluation of mitral stenosis patients.

Evaluation of bituminous materials used in pavement-recycling projects at Tyndall, Macdill, and Hurlburt Air Force Bases. Final report, February 1985-December 1986

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This report presents results of a study involving bituminous materials from Tyndall and MacDill Air Force Bases and Hurlburt Field. These materials included Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP), modifiers, virgin asphalts, and new aggregates. A tentative modifier-selection criterion was used to judge the quality of materials used in the recycling efforts at the respective sites. The results showed that independent adequacy of physical properties from chemical properties in selection of modifiers could not be established. However, some of the results showed that physical were more-sensitive indicators of changes in binders due to aging. In addition, this report includes the tentative modifier selection criteria and results of an interlaboratory study from which variability limits to parameters determined using modified Clay-Gel and Heithaus procedures are established. The modified Clay-Gel and Heithaus procedures are included.

Fuzzy Layered Convolution Neutral Network for Feature Level Fusion Based On Multimodal Sentiment Classification

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Multimodal sentiment analysis (MSA) is one of the core research topics of natural language processing (NLP). MSA has become a challenge for scholars and is equally complicated for an appliance to comprehend. One study that supports MSdifficulties is the MSA, which is learning opinions, emotions, and attitudes in an audio-visual format. In order words, using such diverse modalities to obtain opinions and identify emotions is necessary. Such utilization can be achieved via modality datafusion;such as feature fusion. In handling the data fusion of such diverse modalities while obtaining high performance, a typical machine learning algorithm is Deep Learning (DL), particularly the Convolutional Neutral Network (CNN), which has the capacity to handle tasks of great intricacy and difficulty. In this paper, we present a CNN architecture with an integrated layer via fuzzy methodologies for MSA, a task yet to be explored in improving the accuracy performance of CNN for diverse inputs. Experiments conducted on a benchmark multimodal dataset, MOSI, obtaining 37.5% and 81% on seven (7) class and binary classification respectively, reveals an improved accuracy performance compared with the typical CNN, which acquired 28.9% and 78%, respectively.

Bacteriocins, spite and virulence

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

There has been much interest in using social evolution theory to predict the damage to a host from parasite infection, termed parasite virulence. Most of this work has focused on how high kinship between the parasites infecting a host can select for more prudent exploitation of the host, leading to a negative relationship between virulence and parasite kinship. However, it has also been shown that if parasites can cooperate to overcome the host, then high parasite kinship within hosts can select for greater cooperation and higher growth rates, hence leading to a positive relationship between virulence and parasite kinship. We examine the impact of a spiteful behaviour, chemical (bacteriocin) warfare between microbes, on the evolution of virulence, and find a new relationship: virulence is maximized when the frequency of kin among parasites' social partners is low or high, and is minimized at intermediate values. This emphasizes how biological details can fundamentally alter the qualitative nature of theoretical predictions made by models of parasite virulence.
Torsional torque suppression of generator based on H∞ control theory in isolated power system

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Renewable energy power plants, such as wind turbine generator and photovoltaic system, have been introduced in isolated power system recently. The output power fluctuations of wind turbine generator and load deviations result in frequency deviation and terminal voltage fluctuation. Furthermore, these power fluctuations also affect the turbine shafting of diesel generators and gas‐turbine generators, which are the main components of power generation systems in isolated islands. For stable operation of gas‐turbine generator, the torsional torque suppression as well as power system stabilization should be considered. In this paper, the control strategy that achieves torsional torque suppression and power system stabilization is presented based on H ∞ control theory. The effectiveness of the proposed control system is validated by numerical simulation results. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Artificial neural network plays the important role in more and more field, and the most basic network is BP (Back Propagation)neural network. Data was coded by BP neural network through multi-layer feedforward network to provide the ability of data compression. By data compression, image can be compressed, and it is called the application of artificial neural network in the image processing field. Using the artificial neural network to process image and through Matlab simulate experiment, the image can be compressed and reconstructed.
A mathematical model used in flow lines for performance measurement and system improvement

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

The thesis is the extension of my previous work for the degree of Master of Engineering from MIT. My previous thesis is application-driven, aiming to improve overall performance of a flow line by optimization of existing facilities. And relevant proposals are on their way to implementation, expecting 10% increase in production rate and 18% decrease in inventory level. While this thesis focuses on more theoretical aspect of the problems: summarizing the establishment of the mathematical model, theoretical proof, programming and numerical experiment. The mathematical model developed in this thesis is particularly useful in system optimization of flow line by introduction of buffers. Given all the required raw data of the line, the programme can calculate key parameters of the line and priority of buffer locations. Together with analytical model or simulation, we can further determine the optimal buffer size at certain locations, in order to improve line performance. The method finds its industrial application in automated flow lines of a leading manufacturer of electronic appliances.

Clinical Efficacy of Peroral Cholangioscopy (POC) in the Management of Difficult Bile Duct Stones and Indeterminate Biliary Strictures: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: POC is used in conjunction with ERCP for the evaluation and treatment of difficult bile duct stones and indeterminate biliary strictures. Variable results regarding overall efficacy and safety of POC have been published. Aims: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis with respect to: a) overall efficacy of POC in the clearance of difficult bile duct stones, b) diagnostic characteristics of POC for indeterminate biliary strictures, and c) overall safety of POC. Methods: A search for eligible publications was performed with Ovid-Medline using key search terms. Various data was extracted from each study, including type of POC used (single-operator or dual-operator). A modified Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was usedto assess quality of studies included in this review, and a random effects meta-analysis was used to estimate outcome event rates. Heterogeneity was assessed using I2 and composite outcome data were assessed for publication bias. Meta-regression analysis was performed to examine sources of study variation. Results: A total of 49 of 1028 total articles met inclusion criteria. Table 1 highlights the primary outcomes for POC with regard to difficult bile duct stones, indeterminate biliary strictures, and adverse events. Estimated technical success rate for stone studies was 91% (95% CI: 88%-94%) with significant evidence of heterogeneity (p=0.0009, I2=61.72). Overall estimated stone clearance was 88% (85%-91%). Estimated stone recurrence rate was 13% (7%-20%). The estimated rates for accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, for POC in making a visual diagnosis were 89% (84%-93%), 93% (85%-97%), and 85% (79%-89%). A meta-regression indicated a significant association between the type of POC used, and visual accuracy (p=0.0040) and sensitivity (p=0.0134). The estimated rates for accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity for POC in making a histologic diagnosis were 79% (74%-84%), 69% (57%-78%), and 94% (89%-97%). The estimated overall adverse event rate was 7% (6%-9%).Table 1: Efficacy and Safety of POC for Removal of Bile Duct Stones and Diagnoses of Indeterminate StricturesConclusion: These results suggest POC is safe and effective for treatment of difficult bile duct stones and for evaluation of indeterminate strictures. Future large prospective studies are required to define the role of POC in the algorithm for evaluation and treatment of difficult bile duct stones and indeterminate biliary strictures.Figure 1Figure 2
Design of an electrically small printed square loop antenna for closely spaced Tx/Rx systems

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract A highly miniaturised electrically small square loop antenna has been designed for operation at 2.5 GHz. The antenna is loaded using a simple series combination of two lumped inductors and two interdigitated capacitors in order to realise inherent impedance matching at a given miniaturisation level with respect to a specified source impedance, without using any external matching network. The designed antenna has an overall size of 0.061 λ 0 × 0.061 λ 0 , which is approximately 75.6% miniaturised in terms of total loop length and 94% miniaturised in terms of overall footprint. The designed antenna is fabricated and the corresponding impedance matching and radiation patterns are measured, which are found to be in reasonable agreement with their simulated counterparts. Moreover, an investigation with two closely spaced electrically small SLAs, one for transmitting and the other for receiving, is carried out in this work in pursuit of maximising the isolation, which plays a crucial role in the Tx/Rx systems.
Telemedicine consultation «patient-doctor» in child psychiatry: methodology and practice

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Telepsychiatric assistance in the “doctor-patient” format is at the stage of formation and requires the solution of legal, organizational and methodological issues. The aim of the study was to substantiate the methodology of telemedicine consultations of patients (legal representatives) in child psychiatry. Material and methods. The analysis of the results of 1129 telemedicine consultations (TMK) in the «patient-doctor» format for 559 patients aged 2 to 18 years was carried out. Results. Remote consultations have been tested for the entire spectrum of mental disorders in childhood and adolescence. During the primary patient-doctor TMK, a number of serious regulatory and technical limitations were identified. Repeated TMK «patient — doctor» in child psychiatric practice are defined as the most optimal and safe. There was a significant increase in the number of repeated TMKs and the expansion of the specialties of consultants during the period of restrictive measures in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. The assessment of the effectiveness of TMK was carried out by means of a sociological survey (questionnaire) of doctors and patients (legal representatives). Conclusion. A methodology has been developed for organizing and conducting telemedicine consultations for patients under the age of 18 (legal representatives) in the field of psychiatry. A survey of beneficiaries recorded their high readiness and satisfaction with remote counseling. A survey of medical workers revealed a positive trend in attitudes towards carrying out TMK. The negative dynamics of the opinions of specialists in connection with the increase in the level of workload indicates the need for further organizational, methodological and educational work on the use of telemedicine technologies.
Gender differences in early detection of cancer

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Men have higher levels of cancer incidence and mortality than women. Although this disparity is mainly due to their poorer use of primary prevention strategies, sex differences in early detection practices may also be a contributing factor. We reviewed evidence for differences in the prompt presentation of symptoms and the uptake of screening behaviours between men and women. We found men engage in self-examination less frequently, and are more likely to delay reporting cancer symptoms to a doctor. Evidence concerning their adherence to cancer screening was mixed, with some data showing that men may be as interested in attending screening as women. Delay in symptom presentation and less self-examination are probably due to men's lower levels of awareness of cancer, poorer knowledge of cancer warning signs, and relatively low contact with health professionals which might preclude opportunities to promote cancer detection behaviours. More data is needed about gender differences in screening uptake before concluding that special efforts are needed to encourage men to attend. Although aspects of the male gender role may conflict with participation in positive healthy behaviours and help seeking, efforts must be made to increase awareness, understanding and adherence among men if they are to share the health rewards screening and early detection can bring.
Economic geographies of religious institutions

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The Christian Church is one of the oldest institutions in the UK. Furthermore, the Church is an important economic actor in the British economy, with the current Church of England holding investment assets of approximately £8billion. In addition it provides the largest amount of explicitly religious spaces, through its network of Churches, in the nation. However, despite a recent resurgence of interest from geographers in religion, through the Geography of Religion discourse, the Christian Church is, and has remained, an understudied institution. In contrast, I will argue that the particular characteristics of the faith make it an ideal institution for study. By investigating the Church I will integrate the previously disparate literatures of the Geography of Religion and Economic Geography to identify how the spaces of Christian religious institutions, such as the Parish Church, continue to exist in the capitalist economic system of the UK. To this end the thesis will adopt an economic institutionalist perspective to understanding religious bodies; using the case studies of The Church of England, The Baptist Union, and The Assemblies of God to investigate the process of institutional reproduction. In addition to providing an overview of how religious institutions are reproduced the thesis will make a further two contributions to Geography. First, it will investigate how Christianity and capitalism interrelates. In so doing I will argue that, whilst geographers have traditionally argued that institutions influence the practices of capitalism, this is a two-way process as the economic imperative of reproduction entails that capitalism itself also alters the properties of religious institutions. Second, the thesis will provide an investigation of the internal properties of institutions to argue that, rather than being a cohesive body, religious institutions are an assemblage of a number of linked networks. This has a severe impact on the process of institutional reproduction as finance and resources do not flow freely around the institution to where they are needed.
Interleukin 21-Based Therapy Can Induce Human B Cells To Produce Granzyme B and Express Other Features of Cytotoxic Lymphocytes.

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Abstract B cells are not currently known to be capable of producing granzyme B or being cytotoxic. We recently found that human B cells activated with Interleukin 21 (IL-21) and antibodies to the B cell receptor (BCR) or immunostimulatory oligonucleotides (CpG ODN), can produce granzyme B. Further studies were done to assess the biological and potential therapeutic significance of this finding. Granzyme B ELISpot, intracellular staining for granzyme-B, quantitative real time RT-PCR for granzyme B messenger RNA and gene expression array confirmed B cells obtained from the peripheral blood of normal individuals (Fig. 1) and many B cell lines including Namalwa, Daudi, Ramos and EBV-transformed lymphoblasts, can be induced to produce granzyme B. This granzyme B is functional as demonstrated by cleavage of a granzyme B-sensitive colorimetric substrate. IL-21 based treatment also increased the transcription of the gene for perforin and the production of Interferon-γ in select B cell populations. We conclude that IL-21 based therapy can induce B cells to produce functional granzyme B and other components known to be present in the cytotoxic granules of CTL and NK cells. These unexpected findings could have significant implications on our understanding of the role of B cells in immune regulation and for a variety of immune phenomena including auto-, cancer and infectious immunity.

An Ecological Perspective on Team Cognition

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Technology has complicated the role of the human in most complex systems. Manual or motor tasks carried out by a single individual have been supplanted by multiple-person tasks that are highly cognitive in nature. Assembly lines have been replaced by teams of designers, troubleshooters, and process controllers. Teams plan, decide, remember, make decisions, design, troubleshoot, solve problems, and generally think as an integrated unit. These activities are examples of team cognition, a construct that has arisen with the growing need to understand, explain, and predict these cognitive activities of teams. But does team cognition mean that teams think, or is it that the individuals within the teams think, relegating team cognition to a collection of individual thinkers? Questions like these are important prerequisites to understanding team cognition.
