Identification of Face across Random Motion Blur, Illumination and Pose

Presented strategies for obtaining face identification in the existence of blur are maintain the convolution model and can't handle non uniform blurring things that regularly occur from tilt and rotary motion in hand held cameras. This paper, include a trend to propose a method for face recognition within the occurrence of space varying motion blur comprise of arbitrarily shaped kernels. We have a tendency to model the blurred face as a rounded arrangement of geometrically remodel instance of the targeted gallery face, and show that the set of all images obtained by non uniformly blurring a given image forms a convex set. We 1st propose a non uniform blur robust algorithmic program by creating use of constriction on the camera movement. The frame is then extended to handle illumination discrepancy by. At last, we tend to plan a graceful expansion to also account for dissimilarity in pose.
Contribution Towards Evaluating the Practicability of Socially Assistive Robots by Example of a Mobile Walking Coach Robot
Venue: ICSR

This paper wants to make a further contribution towards a more transparent and systematic technical evaluation of implemented services and underlying HRI and navigation functionalities of socially assistive robots for public or domestic applications. Based on a set of selected issues, our mobile walking coach robot developed in the recently finished research project ROREAS (Robotic Rehabilitation Assistant for Walking and Orientation Training of Stroke Patients) was evaluated in three stage function and user tests, in order to demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of the developed assistive solution regarding the achieved autonomy and practicability for clinical use from technical point of view.
Science with the space based interferometer eLISA. III: Probing the expansion of the Universe using gravitational wave standard sirens

We investigate the capability of various configurations of the space interferometer eLISA to probe the late time background expansion of the universe using gravitational wave standard sirens. We simulate catalogues of standard sirens composed by massive black hole binaries whose gravitational radiation is detectable by eLISA, and which are likely to produce an electromagnetic counterpart observable by future surveys. The main issue for the identification of a counterpart resides in the capability of obtaining an accurate enough sky localisation with eLISA. This seriously challenges the capability of four link (2 arm) configurations to successfully constrain the cosmological parameters. Conversely, six link (3 arm) configurations have the potential to provide a test of the expansion of the universe up to $z\sim 8$ which is complementary to other cosmological probes based on electromagnetic observations only. In particular, in the most favourable scenarios, they can provide a significant constraint on $H_0$ at the level of 0.5% Furthermore, \Omega_M, \Omega_\Lambda) can be constrained to a level competitive with present SNIa results. On the other hand, the lack of massive black hole binary standard sirens at low redshift allows to constrain dark energy only at the level of few percent.
Light driven micro tool equipped with a syringe function
Venue: Light, science applications

Leveraging developments in microfabrication open new possibilities for optical manipulation. With the structural design freedom from three dimensional printing capabilities of two photon polymerization, we are starting to see the emergence of cleverly shaped 'light robots' or optically actuated micro tools that closely resemble their macroscopic counterparts in function and sometimes even in form. In this work, we have fabricated a new type of light robot that is capable of loading and unloading cargo using photothermally induced convection currents within the body of the tool. We have demonstrated this using silica and polystyrene beads as cargo. The flow speeds of the cargo during loading and unloading are significantly larger than when using optical forces alone. This new type of light robot presents a mode of material transport that may have a significant impact on targeted drug delivery and nanofluidics injection.
Pharmacists' views on implementing a disease state management program for low back pain.
Venue: Australian journal of primary health

Pharmacists have the potential to take a lead role in the primary care management of people with acute low back pain. The aim of this study was to investigate pharmacists' views on implementing a care program for people with acute low back pain in the community pharmacy. Recruitment of pharmacists for this study took place between July 2012 and March 2013. A convenience sample of 30 pharmacists who collaborated in recruiting participants for a low back pain clinical trial in Sydney (n=15 pharmacist recruiters and n=15 non recruiters) completed an open ended questionnaire. There was no marked variation in responses between the two groups. Participating pharmacists were receptive to the idea of implementing a care program for people with low back pain, highlighting the need for adequate reimbursement and adequate training of staff to ensure it is successful. Pharmacists identified that the follow up of people receiving such a service is dependent on several factors such as effective reminder systems and the proximity of patients to the pharmacy.
Inquiry Based Learning Models, Information Literacy, and Student Engagement: A Literature Review

This paper explores the research literature relevant to the increasingly popular field of Inquiry Based Learning (IBL) practices in K 12 academic environments. IBL is constructivist and student centered (Barron Darling Hammond, 2008; Condliffe, Visher, Bangser, Drohojowska Saco 2016; Duffy Raymer, 2010; Kuhlthau, Maniotes, Caspari, 2015) leveraging student motivation and engagement through its grounding in authentic, relevant study (Deci Ryan, 2016; SaundersStewart, Gyles, Shore Bracewell, 2015) Recent research shows positive academic and achievement gains for students engaged in IBL work and the practice is growing. Some educators are experimenting with variations of increasingly student driven models that privilege student choice and autonomy, such as 20% time or genius hour (Krebs Zvi, 2015) passion based learning (Maiers Sandvold, 2010) and personalized learning (Bray McClaskey, 2016) We name these more student autonomous frameworks Student Driven Inquiry (SDI) models. The argument here is for qualitative research on the learner experience of these more recent SDI models in order to glean a more holistic understanding of the outcomes beyond grades and test scores. An examination of the recent literature on inquiry based learning, information literacy and student motivation demonstrates the need for qualitative work focused on the efficacy of a growing highly student centered learning models.
The IEEE SA Revised Patent Policy and Its Definition of 'Reasonable' Rates: A Transatlantic Antitrust Divide?

The IEEE SA updated patent policy and the Business Review Letter issued by the US DoJ have caused much discussion in the US (Sidak, 2015) The purpose of this paper is to assess whether a similarly lenient antitrust approach to Standard Setting Organizations' "SSOs" rate setting policies would prevail under the European Union "EU" competition rules. Recent EU competition case law has promoted a very hard line in the area of coordinated conduct. Cases such as Dole Food Company, T Mobile or Expedia have expanded the scope of the per se prohibition rule found in Article 101 TFEU to forms of horizontal coordination with less than obvious anticompetitive potential, such as "cheap talk" pre pricing communication (Dole Food Company) episodic collusion (T Mobile) and horizontal agreements with limited market coverage (Expedia) Those judgments, and others, share a common rationale: that of deterring any coordinated interference with the price system. In the EU courts' view, joint interference by competitors with the price system seems to be a sin in itself, regardless of actual or potential market effects. Horizontal coordination is thus increasingly prohibited on its face, and punished as a means to set an example. From an enforcement standpoint, this trend in the case law trend has pros (lower enforcement costs) and cons (deters pro competitive coordination) But perhaps more importantly, it has a major normative implication, which is that it raises the antitrust risk for all forms of coordination, including arrangements of the type found in the IEEE SA updated patent policy. This paper explains that the antitrust risk generated by SSOs rate setting policies is presumably higher in the EU than in the US, where the case law on horizontal coordination is less stringent. From a methodological standpoint, the paper choses to discuss this issue on the sole basis of the case law of the EU courts, instead of focusing on Commission Guidelines and other soft law instruments, whose binding value on parties other than the Commission itself has been considerably degraded in recent judgments.
The IEEE SA patent policy update under the lens of EU competition law

In 2015, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers  Standardization Association made some controversial changes to its patent policy. The changes include a recommended method of calculation of FRAND royalty rates, and a request to members holding a standard essential patent to forego their right to seek an injunction except under limited circumstances. The updated policy was adopted by the IEEE Board of Directors after obtaining a favourable Business Review Letter by the US Department of Justice, which found any potential competitive harm from the policy to be outweighed by potential pro competitive benefits. In this paper, we examine whether the same favourable conclusion would be reached under EU competition analysis. After discussing the role of patent policies of standard setting organizations and the rules and principles applicable to the IEEE's activities, the paper concludes that standardization agreements based on the updated policy may constitute a violation of article 101 TFEU.
Crowd behaviour during high stress evacuations in an immersive virtual environment
Venue: Journal of The Royal Society Interface

Understanding the collective dynamics of crowd movements during stressful emergency situations is central to reducing the risk of deadly crowd disasters. Yet, their systematic experimental study remains a challenging open problem due to ethical and methodological constraints. In this paper, we demonstrate the viability of shared three dimensional virtual environments as an experimental platform for conducting crowd experiments with real people. In particular, we show that crowds of real human subjects moving and interacting in an immersive three dimensional virtual environment exhibit typical patterns of real crowds as observed in real life crowded situations. These include the manifestation of social conventions and the emergence of self organized patterns during egress scenarios. High stress evacuation experiments conducted in this virtual environment reveal movements characterized by mass herding and dangerous overcrowding as they occur in crowd disasters. We describe the behavioural mechanisms at play under such extreme conditions and identify critical zones where overcrowding may occur. Furthermore, we show that herding spontaneously emerges from a density effect without the need to assume an increase of the individual tendency to imitate peers. Our experiments reveal the promise of immersive virtual environments as an ethical, cost efficient, yet accurate platform for exploring crowd behaviour in high risk situations with real human subjects.
Association between lifestyle and cognitive impairment among women aged 65 years and over in the Republic of Korea

The high risk of dementia among elderly women is a major health issue in Korea. Lifestyle should be given special attention because a healthful lifestyle is highly likely to reduce the risk of dementia. This study aimed to explore the association between lifestyle and cognitive impairment, which is one of the major symptoms of dementia, among community dwelling elderly women in Korea (N 2,401) Descriptive statistics were used to examine demographics, and a chi square test was performed to examine differences in the prevalence of cognitive impairment across age groups. Finally, multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate the associations between lifestyle (i.e. daily water intake, alcohol consumption, regular exercise, and volunteering activities) and cognitive impairment. In this study, approximately 20% of participants were cognitively impaired, and the prevalence of those with cognitive impairment was significantly higher with age. Moreover, the odds of cognitive impairment were significantly lower among those who regularly participated in volunteering activities compared to those who did not. In addition, older age and a higher number of symptoms of subjective cognitive impairment were risk factors for cognitive impairment, whereas higher education was a protective factor. In conclusion, intervention strategies to motivate older women to participate in volunteering should be implemented to decrease the risk of dementia.
Impact of lifestyle factors on trends in lipid profiles among Korean adolescents: the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys study, 1998 and 2010
Venue: Korean journal of pediatrics

Only a few studies have explored nationwide trends in lipid profiles among Asian adolescents. We aimed to assess trends in lipid profiles and the associated lifestyle factors among Korean children.  We analyzed data for 2,094 adolescents who were aged 10 18 years and had participated in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys in 1998 and 2010.  1998 2010, the prevalence of obesity significantly increased in boys, but no changes were observed in girls. Over this period, there was a small but significant decrease in the mean low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol level in boys (1998, 87.5 mg/dL; 2010, 83.6 mg/dL; P=0.019) and mean triglyceride levels in girls (1998, 90.8 mg/dL; 2010, 85.8 mg/dL; P=0.020) There were no significant changes in the prevalence of dyslipidemia in boys, but a modest decrease was noted in girls (1998, 25.1% 2010, 18.3% P=0.052) During the study period, the prevalence of breakfast skipping decreased, whereas that of regular exercise increased in both groups. Daily total energy intake did not change between these years. In multivariable logistic regression analyses, breakfast skipping was associated with increased risk of hyper LDL cholesterolemia in boys (odds ratio [OR] 5.77) and hypertriglyceridemia (OR, 2.27) in girls. Regular exercise was associated with decreased risk of hypo HDL cholesterolemia (OR, 0.40) in boys.  Although the prevalence of obesity in boys increased, favorable or constant trends in lipid profiles were observed among Korean adolescents during 1998 2010. Decrease in breakfast skipping and increase in regular exercise may have contributed to these trends.
Stress, Depression, and Lifestyle Behaviors in Korean Adults: A Latent Means and Multi Group Analysis on the Korea Health Panel Data
Venue: Behavioral medicine

It has been reported that stress can induce depression, with the patient's age and sex as moderating factors. Associations between depression and lifestyle in Korean adults have not been addressed. This study was designed to examine if the relationships among stress, problem drinking, exercise, and depression differ by age and sex. For this study, the Korea health panel data was utilized, and a structural equation model using AMOS was employed. The major findings were as follows: women were more likely to experience stress and depression than men. Individuals over 40 showed a higher tendency toward stress and depression than those under 40. Age and sex specific paths from stress to problem drinking, exercise, and depression were positively inter correlated; the path from exercise to depression indicated an inverse association. These results indicate the need for evidence based stress management programs for the psychological well being of Korean adults.
Modifying effects of education on the association between lifestyle behaviors and the risk of obesity: evidence from South Korea
Venue: BMC Public Health

BackgroundNo previous study has explored the interactions between education and lifestyle in relation to obesity. This study hypothesized that education may be obesogenic through its interplay with lifestyle behaviors.MethodsData for a nationally representative sample (6937 men and 9333 women) from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2010 2012) were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regressions were performed for three education levels and six lifestyle behaviors, each of which comprised two groups.ResultsInteractions between education and lifestyle behaviors in relation to obesity were observed for all lifestyle behaviors in women (p for interaction <0.001) and for three lifestyle behaviors in men. Education appeared obesogenic for three groups of lifestyle behaviors in men (p for trend <0.05) but was protective against obesity for 11 groups in women. Each one unit increase in education level in men increased the odds of obesity by 1.29 fold among under reported energy intake groups (95 confidence interval: 1.16, 1.44).ConclusionsEducation may be a risk factor for obesity through its interplay with lifestyle behaviors. Further research is required to examine these findings in different socio cultural settings.
The Relationship between Obesity and Lifestyle Factors in Korean Adolescents: The 6th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2013?2014)

Obesity in adolescence is correlated to coronary heart disease, independent of weight in adulthood, and it has a broad range of adverse health effects. More than 60% of obese adolescents remain obese as adults, and therefore, appropriate management of obesity in adolescence is needed. This study was conducted to examine the prevalence of obesity in adolescence and lifestyle factors related to obesity in Korean adolescents.  This study was a cross sectional study of 782 adolescents (404 boys, 378 girls) aged 12 18 years who participated in the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for 2013 2014. Obesity was defined as a body mass index (BMI) above the 95th percentile for each age and sex based on the 2007 growth chart for Korean children or BMI =25 kg/m 2 The following lifestyle factors were examined as risk factors for obesity: level of physical activity, walking time, sedentary time, weight management, self rated health status, sleep time, amount of energy and nutrient intake, cigarette smoking, and alcohol consumption.  The prevalence of obesity in Korean adolescents aged 12 18 years was 12.5% (15.6% boys, 9.3% girls) A family history of chronic disease, walking time, weight management, self rated health status, cigarette smoking, and alcohol consumption were statistically associated with obesity (P<0.0.5)  Appropriate obesity prevention programs for adolescents need to be included in education to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors, including eating habits and physical activity.
How Individual focused Transformational Leadership Enhances Its Influence on Job Performance through Employee Work Engagement

The aim of present study was in line with transformational theory to examine the direct and indirect effect of individual focused transformational leadership (TFL) on leader rated Job Performance. Data collected through questionnaires from sample of 202 employees of a national state owned mobile telecommunications company in China. Afterwards, the hierarchical multiple regressions were adapted to examine the proposed hypotheses. Empirical findings of data provides evidence to support our intended hypothesizes and revealed that individual focused TFL and Employee Work Engagement (EWE) were significantly related to Job Performance, in which the effect of individual TFL on Job Performance was mediated by the EWE. Practically, indicated that work groups or organizations by stimulating and inspiring leaders who would demonstrate transformational behaviors as a significant prerequisite for employees to be engaged, may be able to increase employees' Job Performance. This study was one of the first to examine antecedents and consequence of EWE simultaneously. More implications for theory, practices for practitioners and future researches are discussed.
Employee engagement of private sector employees in Southern Thailand: personality, transformational leadership and psychological safety

The motivation for this study is driven by the inconsistent findings in the literature concerning the relationship between the variables related to employee engagement. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of a five factor model of personality consists of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness to experience, and neuroticism factors on employee engagement. Further, it examines the mediation role of psychological safety on the relationship between transformational leadership and employee engagement. Accordingly, this study is underpinned by self determination theory to explain the network of the relationship between the variables in the conceptual framework. The study utilized a survey questionnaire which was distributed to 608 employees of private companies in Southern Thailand. Out of the 422 returned questionnaires, 402 were usable for further analysis. PLS SEM was used to analyze the direct and indirect relationship between the related variables in the study. Of the five personality factors, three which are extraversion, conscientiousness, and openness to experience factors influence the employee engagement. However agreeableness and neuroticism factors do not influence employee engagement. Transformational leadership is discovered to have both direct and indirect influence on the employee engagement. The psychological safety also shows to have an influence on the employee engagement. In addition, the psychological safety constructs is discovered to be a partial mediator in the relationship between the transformational leadership and the employee engagement. The results of the predictive power of the structural model is 0.337 indicating that 33.7% of the variance in the employee engagement construct is explained by the five factor model of personality, transformational leadership and psychological safety. Theoretical, practical and methodological implications of the study are highlighted. Finally, limitations and further research are also discussed in this paper
